Directed by Han Sang-jae, starring Lee Yoo-bi, Lee Joon-hyuk and Jang Dong-yoon.
Watched 4 January 2026 - ? — 2/16 episodes (KISSKH) — DROPPED AFTER EPISODE 2!
Chose this for Lee Joon-hyuk and the fairly favourable write-ups, and because it's romance-focused. But I didn't like it very much. Most characters are annoying, not likeable, and it's just poorly written altogether. I wanted to put it on hold right away but I was still waiting for Lee Joon-hyuk to make his first appearance, which he did 5 minutes before ep. 1 ended. Unfortunately in episode 2 there's not much screen time dedicated to him either. The 2nd male lead Jang Dong-yoon, who irritated me, gets far more screen time than Lee Joon-hyuk. I would have preferred the series to be more serious and I didn't like the comical tone. Judging from the few interactions between the leads Lee Yoo-bi and Lee Joon-hyuk, there's hardly any chemistry. I'm a little curious about their romance but not enough to stick around. I do like the focus on physical therapists in a hospital setting, instead of this being a medical series centered around doctors and nurses. Never seen that before in a drama. Still, I feel like I'm wasting my time with this one, so I mercilessly dropped it.
