Solid K Dramedy
6 June 2023
This is the story of a rather naive, but very kind lady, who is married to a doctor, who is a cold jerk, a mother in-law who treats her like a slave and two indifferent spoiled children. She thinks her life is perfect, and she thinks she is happy. As a viewer you are rooting for her to "wake" up and do something about many various issues that get revealed as the show goes on. The show took it's time to get there, but once I settled into it, I could see why. It made for a more interesting show.

She realizes she is lonely and being taken advantage when she has a medical crisis. She used to be a doctor before you got married. She decides to return and be a resident at age 46. Which they act like that is on deaths door for an age. The almost all male panel who decides if she can be a resident. Was glaringly ageist and misogynistic. It is disturbing to see the patriarchy that these shows have going on. She does however get into the hospitals residency program. I did not enjoy some of the early scenes where she does act a bit dumb, which was hard to take, since she got a super high score on her exams. Also her horrible husband is undermining her and calling her clumsy a lot, which was very unpleasant. There is a very handsome doctor who helps her on her path, and is lovely to look at too. The show evolves over the 16 episodes. It started out more as a comedy, and then went much heavier into the drama midway and for the duration, with light touches along the way. I binge watched it in 3 days. I do not think there will be a season two, because they did a lovely job at the end wrapping everyone's story up. I felt satisfied like I watched a good movie.
