This series could have been on par with Mr. Stranger series but they wasted so much with how they managed the series. Let me start by listing the things I believe did not help the series at all. When you watch the series, and you should, how scenes ended and how they moved from one scene to the other felt very disconnecting. They poorly used a great soundtrack and managed to ruin scenes due to unfathomable logic. In a kissing scene, for example, as the scene climaxes, they switch to a different song in a heart beat instead of using one song as it builds up to that moment. There is also a feeling that there is a soundtrack but it isn't there because they failed to correctly showcase it in scenes that affect the story line. Unfortunately, the lead actor Joo Won failed to connect with me at a deeper level. To portray a feeling of being devastated, how much you tear up can decide the intensity of the scene and when compared with his queen Kim-Tae Hee, who perfectly conveys the correct degree, he fails miserably. I'm not blaming him for that, but I'm more disappointed in the team working behind this series who managed to ruin it. When I recollect the kissing scenes alone, the camera angles alone they chose purposely hide the kiss. A key display of affection that we all wait for leaves us dissatisfied. I was hoping that this series will provide something on par with Dr. Stranger when it came to surgeries but it failed as well. The ending left me wanting. There were a few things unresolved in my opinion.
