Eh I like Yang mi and I think her hair transplant thing went well lol. But might give this a pass , seems heavy in the style of “surrounded by ppl constantly sick and dying” lol. Different from the depressing type of drama where ML/FL hv a depressing life , here it seems like the whole drama world is painted super depressing like “life sucks then u die “ style lol
I totally agree, this one is a pass for me. I already know that they’re going to go through so much struggle and loss over people being sick and not being able to help them until they fight through it and come out stronger. It seems like a really predictable story line.
Haha yeah I mean I get that they’re going for a realistic portrayal but I think dramas often get flack for being unrealistic on a lot of fronts so it’s admirable they’re trying to change that. However if I wanted realistic I would watch a documentary or something so even though it glamorizes certain professions and maybe gives viewers an incorrect impression of what that job is like , I still need that kdrama style of portrayal with rose tinted glasses lol
