This was a good show not gonna lie but some situations was just so preventable and the villains was mad annoying like they try so hard for no valid reason in my opinion. And that first episode WAS WILDDDD like it goes 0 to 100 then 2-3 episodes later that energy not there. I like the man characters in the good side and the intensity of the hospital . I just didn't like the unnesscary and villains and goofy love interests .The ending was good tho and it really pushes you to root for the good guys all the time.

I am not really into medical dramas. I have tried a few before but couldn't finish them. I happened to watch the first episode out of boredome. But in the very first episode a lot of things happened and it made me hooked up with the drama.

I loved the way every episode name is also described through sketch. It was unique.

Every character in this drama is special. Specially Kim sabu. He is the coolest person in this drama. The way he handles every situation is really amazing.

The main leads are so cute. Loved their interactions. Yoo Yeon Seok, oh my my... He just took my heart. That's all I can say.

The way they treat the patient is really exciting. I am not from medical sector. But each the medical cases they handle make me interested in them.

This was the first medical drama that I finished and has become one of my favorite drama.

I watched this drama recently and fell in love to the extend that I immediately started the second season right after I finished the first one.

First of all theres nothing really romantic about teacher kim the title is misleading. The romantic one is kang dong joo. Teacher kim is very stern cold and bad ass . He doesnt have a girlfriend or wife so theres no romance with him. Kang dong joo on the other hand has a great story line and he oozes all sorts of romance. Its a good doctor show and has that one bad guy that wants to destroy the main character all the way to last episode. I watched it weekly so i dont remember the theme song. Anyways good show

My fav medical drama

Dr romantic is my first and my fav medical drama. I didn't like the first episode that much but got hooked up in the 2nd episode...This is just not a drama for me but an emotion
Casting is perfect with Han Suk Kyu being Kim Sabu and also I became a fan of Yoo Yeon Seok and Seo Hyun Jin after watching this .. I was really disappointed when the main cast got replaced in s2 ( having many difficulties in completing s2 ... Maybe because the cast and vibes of the drama is totally different than season 1 and also s2 has lots of politics going on than S1 )
Some medical cases brought tears into my eyes and loved how they portrayed those situations
Though the romance was not much there in the drama and it didn't affect me that much because all the medical cases and the chemistry between all the characters outweighed the romance
The character development of Kang Dong Ju was very good...how he started off as a jerk and ended up as an honest doctor at the end
The relationship development between Kang Dong Ju and Kim Sabu was also very good to watch...I still remember how they fought at the beginning and caring for each other at the end
I will definitely re-watch this drama soon ...well actually am planning to do so

Welcome to Doldam Hospital!

Under the leadership of chief surgeon Dr. Kim, Doldam Hospital places the value on patients over profit. Set in the countryside, it’s the place “troublesome” doctors are sent. They show up with one goal: get back to the city ASAP! But under Master Kim’s guidance they grow into remarkable doctors who no longer wish to leave 😁

Of course, the doctors must also fight to save the hospital from rivals with nefarious agendas. With great success comes great envy & haters always gonna hate! 😡

It’s best to watch seasons in order. The secondary cast is the same throughout, with new members joining each season. Plus, we see familiar faces that we’ve already grown to love (or hate 🤷🏻‍♀️).

Season 1 does a great job drawing us into the Doldam family. Our FL is at Doldam by choice; our ML is not. She’s suffering from severe trauma & guilt while he’s extremely angry, leading him to lash out at those around him. When they’re reunited, will they make peace & bravely fall in love amidst the hospital chaos? Or will he betray the staff he’s come to know so he can return to the position he’s worked so hard for?

The Doldam family is aces. They’re honest & loyal; strong & humble. They’re flawed people who truly want to help each patient they encounter. Their bond is precious. Their love & respect for Kim Sabu, which he 100% returns, is so heartwarming.

In full honesty, this is my least favorite of the 3 available seasons so far. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still really good, but the relationship drama stuff was just a bit too much for my tastes. But again - still a good drama that I recommend, if for no other reason than you should experience the full beauty of the Doldam Family in all its seasons!

Note: this is a medical drama. There are side stories & romances that get you invested, but they aren’t the focus. The medical cases take center stage.

NOT YOUR TYPICAL MEDICAL DRAMA, A GREAT WATCH FROM START TO FINISH

This drama sat in my watchlist for a year. Did not know what the hype was about and did not care, as I am not into medical dramas until I ran out of shows to watch this year. Clicked on it to see if the first episode was interesting enough, and OH MY GOODNESS! This drama is so good, it hit the ground on Episode 1 and kept moving with a strong pace, great acting and medical cases which has a rather different take.

I liked how everything centered around Teacher Kim (Han Seok Kyu) who is highly experienced, steadfast and passionate doctor who was framed for a case not of his doing and left a top medical hospital in Seoul to the countryside Doldam Hospital. There he keeps a really low profile and goes on with his work as Head Surgeon until one by one, doctors like Dr. Yoon Seo Jung (Seo Hyun Jin), Dr. Kang Dong Joo (Yoo Yeon Seok) and Dr. Do Im Bum (Yang Se Jong) somehow through different circumstances land to work in Doldam. Each arrives with own problems, insecurities and arrogance, but Teacher Kim is no pushover, and whips them up one by one, in his own quirky way but with much care and passion.

There is no such thing as a doctor's triple board certification, the way Doldam Hospital is managed with so much doctor's free will, with comings and goings and the medical cases may appear far fetched, but the dramatical effect is worth the effort and really entertaining. The drama was so well written and directed. The love story between Dr. Yoon and Dr. Kang played subtly in the background was well placed. And Dr. Do (Yang Se Jong) was my eye candy, so cool, handsome and good in his role.

20 episodes went by so fast for me, I just could not get enough of this really remarkable drama ........ oh, I see there is a Dr. Romantic 2!!!

*Warning the last paragraph contains spoilers/plot holes*

This is one of the only medical dramas I managed to finish- I dropped 'Emergency Couple' and skipped through episode of 'The Doctors.'
The plot is very interesting and action packed. This drama focuses very little on romance, despite its title. There is a lot to learn from this drama in terms of medical things. I've definitely learned a lot more about hospital life from watching this drama.
Acting was superb from everyone. No OST from what I can remember, mostly instrumental music.

-Spoilers-
There are many plot holes/unanswered questions.
Firstly what the heck happened to Do In Bum and Yeon Hwa? Did they confess to their crush or what?? What about the love triangle with Yeon Hwa, Nurse Park and Kang Dong Joo?
Did director Do remain as director?
What happened to teacher kim trauma project?
What was chairman hiding from teacher kim? why didn't he tell teacher kim after his surgery?
What is going on between that nurse from the main hospital and yoon seo joon ex from 5 years ago? Is the nurse babys father her ex?

Apologies if these were all answered in season 2, I haven't watched it yet~

A Heartfelt and Thrilling Korean Medical Drama that Leaves a Lasting Impact!

"Dr. Romantic" had me completely enthralled right from the beginning. As I delved into this Korean medical drama, I couldn't help but be drawn into the life of "Dr. Romantic," a mysterious and brilliant surgeon. Watching him mentor two young doctors in a rural hospital, I was captivated by the intricate character development and the heartfelt performances by the cast. The medical cases, personal struggles, and moral dilemmas kept me on the edge of my seat, making me emotionally invested in every aspect of the story. "Dr. Romantic" beautifully explores the themes of dedication, compassion, and the complexities of human nature, leaving a lasting impact on my heart. This drama is an absolute must-watch, offering both a thrilling and thought-provoking experience that I'll cherish for a long time.

Great drama

At first I wasn’t plan to watch this drama because I thought it was just gonna be boring and so. But from boring to WOW wasn’t what I expected, this medical drama was probably my 3rd or 4th that I’ve seen and this is the Top Medical Kdrama for me. And it became my Top number 1 drama, This drama made me seen the view of how medical struggles everyday and how much doctors/ nurse / surgeon have to face everyday. Doesn’t matter in emergency room/ surgeon room/ or just from patients. It’s a lot of pressure, because like cops they also put there life on the line to save people, and have to make hard choices. It’s not just the struggle they go through but also teach us the responsibility of a doctor, this drama is about a Doctor who have a heart like gold and a hand of god to save people and most definitely like a fatherly figure to his peers. The plot of the story is truly inspirational and emotional, and the writers did an awesome job, and overall have to say the entire cast was amazing especially the medical team.

Its kind of a korean version of greys anatomy i guess? Just obviously way less seasons lol..
Im actually glad that this show has a limit because i wouldnt want them to ruin it with unnecessary deaths and plots.
The 2 seasons are perfect and i loved all of them, genuinely. However I did hear there will be season 3 and im pretty intrigued by that, yes i will be watching hehe, im kind of excited tbh

Its an actually good doctor show guys, as someone who isnt the biggest fan of those shows- it really is interesting.

First off, i'm a big fan of hospital dramas. I like the thrill of watching doctors save patients lives. But not all medical drama are as exciting and thrilling as this one. The comedy, tear-jerker episodes, and romance are all well blended together. Watching O.R. episodes made me sit at the edge of my chair. All characters were very well portrayed by the actors especially Kim Sa Bu. His kind and compassionate heart not only goes out to his patients but also to all his staff as well, it made me fall in love with the drama. Each episode contains different stories of patients and hospital staff, and it will make you cry a river. I also like how they unfold the conflicts and revelations of characters, i think its very unique.
Overall, i think this is one of the best medical drama. I would highly recommend it.
