I’m a bit contemplative with this drama. Some episodes deliver a really good storyline, while others feel plain and boring. Still, for someone who enjoys light dramas, I had a good time watching it. That said, I wouldn’t recommend it as strongly as I would with Hospital Playlist. The love story isn’t very well done, and the drama also portrays how many Gen Z characters come across as narcissistic—which, to be fair, feels quite accurate. They don’t know how to communicate properly with their sunbaenim, and even the seniors are portrayed poorly too. Despite its flaws, I personally enjoy this kind of genre, so I’d still give it a 4/5.

I rarely enjoy watching flashback-heavy K-dramas because it’s troublesome to keep remembering what happened in the previous episode. But this drama really grew on me—I didn’t want to miss a single episode. Unlike most mainstream K-dramas that focus heavily on everyone struggling silently, bottling up their feelings, and hesitating to speak out, this drama takes a different approach. Here, if you have a problem, you’re encouraged to share it with someone you trust. It reminds us that things may not always be okay, but not everything should end without at least giving it a try. That being said, the downside is that almost every character only knows how to shout when expressing their feelings. If only they could have shown a softer, more natural approach, it would have been more impactful. Considering IU is the main character—and she’s someone a lot of kids know—I don’t think it’s the best influence to portray conversations with older people in such a harsh and loud way.

I like this kind of hospital-genre K-drama, so I decided to give it a try. At first, I didn’t really like the male lead—I felt he didn’t suit that kind of character. But after a few episodes, I could see that the actor was really trying hard to prove he deserved that role, and he grew on me. Overall, the drama is good to watch. It isn’t too heavy on the medical side, which makes it easier to enjoy. I genuinely had a good time watching it.

The director really didn’t do a good job when choosing the actor for the villain. The main villain just wasn’t powerful or classy enough—definitely lacking that strong CEO vibe. I actually liked all the cast except for the villain. The aura was totally off, and it weakened the impact of the story.

the plot is not that great, everThe only good thing about this drama is how Ju Garam protects his rugby group. Other than that, there isn’t much to enjoy. It’s mostly about students fighting, highlighting how ugly school politics in South Korea can be. On the positive side, the actors and actresses had good chemistry, and thankfully it wasn’t overcrowded with unnecessary characters. However, the drama is filled with annoying characters that make you hate them, yet not a single one is truly likeable. Almost everyone comes across as selfish and narcissistic. Lastly, the drama is kind of okay to watch after work or school. Nothing much to stress about, just easy and predictable. It feels like a slice-of-life story where everyone is struggling and trying to survive, though the pacing is a bit slow. Overall, I’d give this drama a 4/5.ything fee
