    Another great performance by Namkoong Min

    This is another great performance by Namkoong Min after his villain role on The Girl Who Can See Smell. Except he is no villain in this show, but a kind doctor who fights for the poor and the helpless. I love how fearless and witty he is towards all the bad guys. This show is truly a must watch!!!

    Uneven Script

    Superb cast who carry the series. Some scenes are brilliant because of their jaw-dropping skills, but others are repetitive or bogged down. What could have been a great series is held back by uneven writing.

    This TV show should be called "Who is most incompetent"

    Whilst the premise of the show is somewhat interesting, almost everyone in the show is either highly incompetent (from prison guards, hospital medical staff...) or corrupt, some downright stupid. The only redeeming character is the protagonist.

    Good Acting With Unusual Hero

    Opened this drama with a scene that happened in 2019 we are Introduced with an extra-ordinary genius doctor who helped a rich female convict to get out of jail with creating irregular disease to avoid her jail time while she could stay in the hospital instead to get treatment, while the story goes on the pasts were uncovered in each episode. Reviewing the story it is not a typical doctor-conflict regarding power struggle in the hospital but it tells stories about internal rich-family struggle, rich-people playing on people's live, insurance scheme, hospital-jail scheme and more intrigues. However I cannot say that the script-writer already did his best since even though I can comprehend the back-stabbing scenes that occurred many time the conflicts are not fully resolved while the crimes not fully punished until the end which is quite a disappointment. The plot tend to become too dragging over a character, like when the hero took down his enemy turns out his enemy prepared another way out and so on since this case happened not twice making it somehow the characters forced being ended-up together. The good things are no annoying love-story and the main character true to his character since the hero never lose.

    The acting of the actors are good especially Nam Gong Min and the villains which I unfortunately forget their names. Nam Gong Min is not an ordinary actor, despite his slow-talk and calm-lazy appearance his acting is what giving life to this drama. I am not really a fan of him but he is good on this drama. While without the supporting actors and the villains' good acting this drama won't be good either. Watch this drama but gotta warn you this drama comes with heavy conflicts.

    Amazing drama

    It kept me intrigued all the time while watching it.

    The plot is beyond expectations.

    It is very intense and alluring at the same time.

    The characters fit the given role perfectly.

    You can't stop watching it once you start this.

    Totally worth watching all of the episodes.

    An actually underrated show which should receive a lot of attention.

    Everyone including the directors and the staff have done an awesome job.

    This drama did not make me skip even one second of it. I felt like I would lose something if I skipped even a few seconds ahead.

    Best kdrama I've ever seen ( to be brutally honest)

    **I have seen over 100 kdramas**
