What can you say about a drama that got cut? I mean, I cannot rate it based on potential but only on what we got on screen, but what we got was still better than a heck of a lot of other dramas, including some very highly rated ones appearing right now (looking at you a certain other medical drama that is horribly written but got the 6 additional episodes Beautiful Mind deserved and needed). Anyhow, I am happy that they were able to give us a satisfying ending even if they had to throw logical consistency out the window and drop about 85% of the balls they were trying to juggle. Frankly, I don’t know how this story could have been told properly even in 16 episodes. But the writers did their best as did the cast, and I am thankful. I will forever remember Beautiful Mind for its gorgeous directing, interesting plot, wonderful cast of secondary characters (Eagle 5, nurse Jang and Dr. Yang – I’m looking at you cuties!), and most of all for forcing me to take Jang Hyuk off my overrated list. He was wonderful in this – wonderful.
