This show is so awful and Park Shin Hye is such a bad actor. I felt that she was ok in the first few eps but these romance scenes just have me cringing. I don't care about hospital politics, and Lee Sungkyung's character is SO poorly written.

And the cameo this week with Nam Goong Min...like he was good and the kids were cute but using this lets make my kids orphans so that people will pity them idea was not cool.

All these complaints and yet I still watch it every week lol.

ANYWAY I'm excited to watch W tonight!!!

I didn't mind Goong Min's cameo until the writers seemed to have ruined the purpose of his character with the jumping scene. He was such an exemplary father who was working so much for his kids and he was so strong for his kids and although he seemed to look at that orphan pamphlet closely he didn't seem like he would try that idea until that hospital finance guy went after him in front of his kids. I think that's when he changed his mind. Then when PSH found him he just listed selfish reasons he wanted to jump. He didn't really mention the finance/pamphlet thing. He just mentioned why it was hard for him emotionally to deal with everything which makes sense but yeah it kind of ruined his character for me since that seemed the only reason he wanted to walk off.

I wish the show could decide which plot they're gonna put focus on? It's all just a mess of politics/love/family/patients.
I don't care about the supporting characters' story and omg if I have to watch anymore of In Joo and the uncle raid Yoon Do's house I'm gonna puke. What a waste of time on nothing when we could be focusing on Hye Jung finally figuring out what went wrong with her grandmother's surgery which I THOUGHT was the main plot in this??? Dal and Hae are adorable but their story is getting dragged on forever. There's only 6 more eps of this drama and we're not close to anything happening???

I'm definitely the outlier: I've really enjoyed this drama. Little substance. Weak plot. Fluffy fluff. Still, I look forward to it every week. It's the first time where I've been so far on the other side of the popular opinion. I don't even think there's a solid minority opinion on this drama.

I'm also watching The Good Wife and W. I like Doctors as much as them.

Been watching this live together with W and Uncontrollable Fond. Will catch up with everything probably tonight? I like the drama coz of Kim Raewon haha but the plot is rather weak tbh...

I recently caught up on this drama and I LOVE IT. I thought it would be boring and slow. I'm still upset about the character they paired PSH with because it's kind of creepy.

I will admit it is a BIT slow but it works in this case. The focal point of the drama seems to be a girl with a complicated history learning how to love/trust again and the slow progression of her relationship with the lead kind of shows that journey beautifully imo. Also I love the subtle sociopolitical commentary. Idk if it's true but it seems that South Korea currently has some form of universal health care? If so then it seems they're trying to warn of the disadvantages of privatized healthcare with many of the patient stories and the work place hierarchies.

Idk how I feel about PSH's acting objectively, but I usually love her dramas lol Also at this point idc about her awkward kiss scenes lol

I love the show, but it's because of little random things. Like the food spot playing Bob Marley.

There really is nothing that they're focusing on particularly, and it's just all over the place, but Ji Soo and Minsuk were the only reason I decided to even watch this, so I knew what I was walking into, lol.

i just started watching this. i'm currently on episode 4. i'm really liking it so far. i've heard alot about people not liking the romance in this one. the first 3 episodes in the past were cute but kinda awkward. i forget her name but i really like the girl hye jung became friends with. i hope she comes back. and the motorcycle guy!
