Although I would like to say season 1 and 2 are different in story line but the concept is still there. I recommend both seasons because it entails life lessons and different medical cases. It portrays realistic situations and good research.


-Both have 3 main cast which does not contain triangle relationship
- Both have mentor-mentee dynamic, as one of the main cast is a more senior doctor and also their superior
- The stories focus on patients
- The cases in this show are critical. The hospital in Dr. Romantic is located in an accident prone area, the hospital in The Heart is a specialised that deal with patients that have heart issues which are often time sensitive and critical.
- The romance part is slight in both stories.
- The scene setup looks real in both stories. Like I can believe they are hospitals that have been around for ages with how “old” they look.
- Both stories showcase nurses too.

both are similar in:
- medical drama
- personal problems
- friendship, relationship, teamwork
- mentor figure that happens to be cold/cruel tongue
- learn a lot in both
code blue focuses more on medical cases and dr.romantic happens to have more company/politics sides
both shows are good in introduce to many different cases.
however it is slightly different for both second seasons. as for code blue's, the cast remained the same but dr.romantic had change their leads. but it is around the same concept. imo, i feel like code blue 2 might fit more in dr.romantic 3 (in making) as it shows how much the leads have grown.
- code blue has 3 seasons (s1 in 2008, s2 in 2010 and s3 in 2017) and a movie released in 2018.
- dr romantic has 3 seasons as well! s1 in 2016, s2 in 2019, s3 in 2023 (in making atm)
