The show was a new genre for me - only other Korean shows I have seen were cartoons. The depiction of the historical era, where class differences where such barriers that the low were guilty if only dreaming to rise in state, seemed to be the center point. I only saw episodes 12-20, wish to see more. Overall I liked the story, the acting, and learning about the culture. I found some of the usual stretching of the plot, soap-opera style, annoying - they express a lot by just repeating a word or name, and frequent memories or repeating a conversation in someone's mind after it just took place can get tiresome.

Why the hell do we need a love square in a horse/medical drama?! Really trying to inflate the 50-episodes runtime as much as possible for such a straightforward material. The drama itself was too vanilla and bland. I wish there was more to the drama than that, maybe exploring more interesting medical cases/areas. Speaking of medical, this is another drama with a godlike doctor and a godlike acupuncture skills that can resurrect the dead and create new life with little to no room in having reasonable stakes. Other dramas with godlike acupuncture skills that comes to mind are: Heaven's Order (2013) and Hur Jun (1999)/the Original Story (2013).
Horse mutilation

Watched some of the first episode, I was disturbed by what they were doing to a horse. My guess is they had it heavily sedated while they stuck things into it, literally, no CGI with this
--I decided not to bother with it after thinking about it for awhile
