This has been a beautiful journey, which I am so glad for. Honestly I remember starting this about a year ago, but dropped it at episode 5. Then I recently saw that there's a second season coming out soon, with some of my favourite actors, so I decided to continue watching and BOY AM I GLAD I DID. Even though I was not convinced in the beginning, thus I didn't continue watching, I must say the story gets better and better. The first few eps are a bit frustrating because everyone is struggling and Master Kim seems very cold hearted, but after a while you can literally see them grow.
I love the message, the story, the struggles these characters had to face. But the best thing is that they learn and make mistakes and grow. Master Kim is an amazing teacher that lowkey seems like an asshole, but he has the warmest heart out of all. He cares but he knows his boundaries, he doesn't push his students, she leads them, he makes sure that they know it's their OWN path and their OWN choice, whatever they may choose, he can't do anything about it. Master Kim is actually a pretty common figure you often see in animes, someone with strong ideals and philosophies. But he was portrayed so well in this story. And just like the title says, he was his romantic view on life, and that's what's important. What's amazing is that he still learns from himself and his past mistakes.
I am in love with all the characters this show has shown us. The sweet romance between Dr. Yoon and Kang Dong Ju, the struggles of Do In Beom as the son of President Do.
I don't know much about the medical field, so I can't say how accurate the medical terms and procedures were, but I can say that they have beautiful ideals as doctors. The dilemma of being a doctor is something I can image very well. And they showcased that beautifully with Kang Dong Ju's growth.
All in all, I am in love. And holy shit, kudos to the actors they were all beyond amazing! Seo Hyun Jin, as always an amazing and underrated actress that never disappoints. Han Seok Kyu, even though it's the first show I saw him in as the lead I must say, what did I expect from a senior actor_ Nothing less! Yoo Yeon Seok was also very good and was the perfect choice for Kang Dong Ju, and boi his shoulders. Thanks to this drama I fell in love with Yang Se Jong, y'all should definitely check out his Thirty but Seventeen drama, it's amazing and he is super soft and cute there!
To be completely honest I am excited and scared for the second season. I want to watch more of Master kim, but I fear that it won't live up to the first season. Anyway we will see!
If you are still hesitating, than I will tell you right now, to go and watch it!
