Questionable "strong" and "independent" lead
Oriental medicine meets western medicineOld vs new
History vs present day
Time travel
It seems the show runners wanted to cram everything all at once into this drama. And it's okay no problem.
But I am dropping this because of the characterizations.
The series tries to tout a "strong and independent" female lead but drives it in a disappointing direction.
While her becoming a doctor in an almost male dominated profession is certainly remarkable, her character seems to have been written to supposedly embody typical behaviours of what present society considers to be a strong independent woman. This is all well and good if her character is consistent about it. From the initial episodes all I could see was an arrogant and abusive woman who takes sh*t from others and pours all of her frustrations on the male lead. She finds every excuse to throw a tantrum at the male lead and the viewer is supposed to take that as "strong independent woman" behaviour and be grateful for it.

Sadly dropped: lack of interest.
I really wanted to like this one more then I did. The idea sounded good and with lots of potential for a great show, and I know I'm a minority here but for me it just didn't deliver.The show wasn't bad and the actors were good but it wasn't good enough for me to keep watching. I can't say that I realy got attached to the two doctors or had to know what happens to them in the end. Maybe it was the slow pace, but it all fell flat for me.
Sorry, but in a world full of great korean dramas being not bad is just not good enough.
