Really, why?

They should have Uhm Tae Woong guest as a bumbling vet (specialty: dogs) who follows LSK around and calls him Hyung, to the latter's annoyance. :))

That should be enough for 10 more episodes, right?

bleh. I know the show has some hardcore fans (and I understand intellectually why you could like the show, it being about personal growth and all) but I got super-bored really quickly, as there seemed to be not much plot or character development for maaaany episodes. And now, hardcore fans, slaughter away! :)
But let me add this: If they can pull a good 1 episode extension off a few days before its air time, I bow deeply in front of you, show.

I'm watching GT and there are several things unsettled. Just saw Ep 19 and wondered how they could possibly end it satisfactorily with 20. I think it needs at least one additional Ep.

WHat the heck?. I want my Horse Healer damn it.

I do love this drama; however it is very flawed. Unfortunately, the story is the week part. It got off to a good start with LSK's story and he did an excellent job acting as a doctor going from a selfish attitude to one more concerned about patients. However, every other story line lacks true tension because they are so drawn out without much happening in each episode. It's as though the writers could not decide whether the story would focus on patients or the lives of the doctors. And now one episode is going to wrap things up? I don't see how.

I watch and do not want a 21st ep! Wrap it up and end at 20!

i am in awe of your extensive life experience, sound life advice and headline-making skills, oh wise one!

Oh wow, I can't imagine how they could pull off another episode well in such a short time.

On another note, I have appreciated this drama more than I thought I would. It's not exciting, melodramatic, action packed, romantic... but it wasn't a bad show either. I'd describe is as a nice smooth thoughtful show. I watch a lot of tv while I work, so I had room for this show, but if I only had time to watch one or two drama series this probably wouldn't be one of them (it would be something like Gaskital).

I love this drama due to the genre..I don't see firework in romance here ..just love for the profession and passion to save their patients..especially from the professor in charge of trauma unit..and the male lead intern..but I can't wait for Horse Healer..please come quick..Thanks for this posting just watching it to see what happen to Jae In's decision and will the Nurse coordinator leave for Canada when her heart is with the professor..so any medical genre is my cup of tea indeed plus my favorite actors..so Horse Healer impatiently waiting.

I don't know about you but I enjoyed this drama more than Faith. Maybe due to the fact that I studied nursing in college so everything is really familiar to me and I can relate with all the characters.

They definitely could have decided this weeks ago. It's funny, I actually marathoned episodes 1-13 several weeks ago (mainly for The Voice) and I couldn't find episode 14 until I realized it wouldn't air until the next week.

I can see why it's doing pretty good. I think the strong acting makes the story 10x better to be honest. It's interesting to see the difference in Lee Sung-min's doctor characters in this drama and in Brain. He's great!

i thought it was extended to 23 episodes..

A little off topic, but, does anyone know if Haeundae Lovers only had one episode this week, and if so, why?

I'm watching the drama b/c I was asked to help sub on Viki. As much as I really like LSK, I wouldn't have kept up with this drama otherwise b/c really it is very, very slow. So slow that with only one more episode to go, I can't imagine how it can end well without at least another episode. The pace of this drama is such that without the extension, Ep. 20 being the last one will feel very slap-dash.

On the other hand, this is the hardest drama to sub... omg between the medical lingo and the Busan accent, it takes me 3 or 4 times as long to get through an episode so I'm really ready for it to be done!

I actually really like this show and it's my favorite in the timeslot, so I'm sad to see it go.

i actually love this drama..maybe because i feel in love with medical dramas when i started to watch New Heart..secondly, i really like the way LSK acts..he's a great actor..i just miss the way he yells just like in Pasta (lol)..there's only one thing that i am quite disappointed with, it's the romance between the two interns..it would be great if they also focused on them since there would be a conflict since the lady intern is an heiress..

I love Golden Time. Its nice to have a drama without the theatrics and I like the slice-of-life jdrama style of dealing with a case each episode and there's no upfront romance. I look forward to it every Monday.

WHAT ? gosh how can end in 1 or 2 episodes more? Seems so not possible with the storyline that's coming along!! I'm enjoying the drama albeit the "romance" is not clearly evident, but for me the feelings are there solid - more of a strong friendship, colleague respect, a strong foundation to blossom to a lot more that would last :) the leads depend on each other professionally and personally - I love it :) - also the Trauma Professor and the head nurse..!

The story line can be draggy sometimes but interesting at the same time, the acting stellar all round - It's my fav Mon-Tue drama, although I do love the 1997 one too :)

Thanks so much ck1Oz viki subbers!! Hwaitin' !

Though I'm not from medical background, still like this show more than Faith or other Mon-Tues day dramas airing currently. Happy to watch more episodes if extended.

It's finally confirmed! 3 more episodes to tie all the loose ends.

perhaps im a fan of medical dramas thats why I looooove this drama so much and i find it awesome, plus im not focusing on their romance part that much thats why i was as disappointed as some of u. its the stupid politics in the hospital that makes the drama exciting, plus how intern Lee Min Woo struggled thru his learning in the hospital? I told myself, i will go "arrrrrrrrgggggghhhh" if Lee Min Woo doesnt become a successful doctor at the end of the show ^^.

otherwise, i hv the same concerns as some of u here - 1) trauma center, 2) Jae In's decision on inheriting her harabeoji's hospitals?

Omg they are seriously gonna ask a writer to write 70 pages more of material??? 70 mins = 70 pages
