The characters are truly the heart of the show. I loved how each character brings a different take to medicine--lead Baek Kang Hyeok is a risk taker while Yang Jae won is a do-gooder and tends to follow the rules. They're all a little crazy but always want to do good in the end. This show doesn't take itself too seriously. It is dramatic at times, but there is a lot of humor hanging over. Humor was done very well, starting with the ridiculous nicknames of Anus and Gangster. It just rolls off easily.

When it is serious, there is a comical and rushed tone to it, so it's never serious for long. This is both a good and bad thing. It fits very well with the overall humorous tone, but the main issue of the show is the pacing. There are too many plot lines in the story. This would've benefitted better if the season was at least 12 episodes and each episode was closer to the hour mark than its 40-minute run time currently. The resulting story felt a little too easy and the conflict points felt rushed.

Visually though? The show looks amazing. The budget is there. And there might be plans for season 2 and beyond in the future? Some things I hope to see in the future: background for Baek Kang Hyeok and the others, surely he isn't as perfect as we see. Overall, I felt this was an enjoyable and easy watch.
