Dr. Gang (2006)

I was pleasantly surprised by this drama. Since it was an older drama I expected it to drag and for the quality to be poor but it exceeded my expectations. This drama is definitely underrated.

story: as far as the story goes it isn't terribly original but thats normal in dramaland. There were a lot of refreshing differences in the plot compared to other dramas however and it wasn't riddled with cliches. If there was a misunderstanding in the drama like we so often see, instead of dragging it out for 4 or 5 episodes, the misunderstanding usually got resolved within the episode and so I was never so frustrated I wanted to rip my hair out. The story progressed in a believable fashion and I felt everything was realistic.


characters: All the characters were nicely developed. I loved that the main girl didn't fall for the rich handsome successful guy and actually broke dramaland tradition and went for the poor and not so handsome guy. Their romance was beautifully done and their interactions were adorable. I loved that he wasn't a jerk to her and I loved that they were honest with eachother and their feelings.


music: the music in this was so-so. nothing stood out really.

over all I give this drama a 9 because it kept you watching and didn't lose your interest. I was rather really happy with this drama and I hope you consider watching it to.

Hidden Gem!

I initially approached this drama with the expectation that it would either be the best or the worst Kdrama I'd ever seen. However, it turned out to be neither. In my opinion, this is one of those underrated shows that seems to go unnoticed by many. It's a shame because it's actually really good. While the story isn't terribly original or a masterpiece of fiction, it was carried by the cast. I appreciated that the main female character didn't fall for the typical rich, handsome, successful guy and instead chose the poor and not-so-handsome guy, breaking away from the usual drama trope. The music was my favorite part of the show, as it made the scenes feel more cinematic and significant. Additionally, it was just generally pleasant to the ears.
