Please just recruit doctors!!
I really like season 2 I don’t know but I wanted to wait to watch season 3. Maybe I scared because sometimes seasons can’t work in Korean dramas. I really like Dr. Romantic. It should be good, must be good.Its good but they are always in the fight. They have a lot of patients. Maybe they should hire more doctors to hospital. It’s not realistic. Seo Jin runs everywhere. every episode end we see Seo Jin is in danger. Call more doctor please! we never see their normal days. gunshots, collapse building , fights… just give them normal day I am still watching. So we will see…
Also Cha Eun Jae’s family especially mother get me sick. 🤢 I really hate to watch her. She is a very good actress😂
In the end they still need doctors. They are saying trauma center but just 2 anesthesiologists are there. When one of them go somewhere, they start to think what we do now. Find more doctors. I’m getting angry. I can’t handle this.
And Kang Dong Joo-_- Dude didn’t you cure your trauma in season 1. What happened to you again. You and your ego. OMG

favorito
Meu coração fica quente só de pensar no hospital Doldam. Gosto muito dos personagens, parece que são minha família. Sem dúvidas minha temporada favorita. Conheci Dr Romantic em 2021 quando estava procurando por trabalho da SungKyung, e acho que foi minha melhor descoberta possível, a personagem dela mora no meu coração. Tive alguns problemas de Daddy issues assistindo meu querido Kim Sabu, tenho dependência emocional nele. Acho que eu poderia ficar horas falando sobre como esse drama mudou a tragetoria da minha vida, fiquei dias pensando em fazer medicina 😭. Mal terminei de assistir e já estava morrendo de saudades. Gostei muito dos casos, prendeu minha atenção do começo ao fim. Aguardando ansiosa pela 4° temporada, espero que seja tão emocionante quanto.Was this review helpful to you?

Became one of my favorite dramas :D
After finishing Dr. Romantic season 3 I can comfortably say it has become one of my favorite K-dramas ever. This drama was something special for me and always put a smile on my face when watching.The medical side of the drama was super interesting and exciting throughout and the different patient cases were perfectly paced and mixed in the drama. I only would have wished for a bit more variety in the medical cases.
The characters are all absolutely amazing and the acting is excellent. I was sceptical at first of the big casting changes in season 2 but I ended up loving all of the new characters too. Yun Seojeong from season 1 probably still remains my favorite character (and I was super excited to see her at the end of season 3 :D)
The actual story is also great. There was just a perfect mix of medical cases, relationships, and events outside of the hospital. I really appreciated how the drama focused on the medical part and the relationship parts were a nice bonus, sprinkled in here and there. The hospital politics I could have done without but in seasons 1 and 3 there wasn't too much of it at all.
The heart of the drama, Kim Sabu, was also prominent in all seasons and I was left impressed in almost every episode by his profound and wise teachings and dialogue. A consistent theme throughout all seasons is Kim Sabu teaching younger doctors what it means to be a good doctor with good values and a positive outlook on life.
Everything in Dr. Romantic put a big smile on my face. I will be remembering fondly the staff of Doldam that felt like a big family, the profound and memorable dialogue, the heartwarming and heartbreaking medical cases, the cozy and comforting feeling/atmosphere of the drama, and of course Jang Gitae's ridiculous laugh :DDDDDDDD
Dr. Romantic is a must-watch for everyone!

A precious gem, each part of it beautiful.
Dr. Romantic Season 3 is hands-down one of the best K-dramas ever made, and honestly, the strongest season of this absolute gem. It’s not just about doctors saving lives—it’s a deeply inspiring, motivational love letter to living.Master Kim hits you with a line that’s pure poetry: “Never stop asking yourself why you live and what do you live for, otherwise your romance is dead.” Life’s truest romance isn’t just love for another person—it’s the spark of purpose that keeps your heart beating. It’s the courage to question, every day, what drives you, what makes the dawn worth greeting. Without that curiosity, that inner fire, life risks becoming a hollow echo, a motion without meaning. This quote is a reminder to cradle your dreams, no matter how fragile, and to let them guide you like stars through the dark. It’s about living with intention, where every breath is a verse in your own unfinished poem.
The drama captures the preciousness of life itself—chasing even the tiniest dreams, pushing through ambitions, or just fighting to make it through another day at your fullest. It’s raw, emotional, and makes you reflect on what keeps you going. I’m so grateful for how this drama made me feel and see life differently.
If you want a show that’s equal parts heart-pounding and soul-stirring, this is it.

Beautifully showcases the enduring charm and emotional depth of all the seasons
I came into Dr. Romantic initially to watch Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Sung Kyung, but I stayed for the riveting story and the poignant charm that exudes from the franchise. While I might be a bit biased since I haven't finished the first season and instead dove headfirst into the second and third, I can confidently say that the third season is my favorite so far.I loved seeing new faces interact with the franchise's veteran characters and the return of some familiar faces from season two. Every episode delivered meaningful life lessons—whether it was about overcoming anxiety, guilt, insecurities, or addressing important issues like understanding one's physical health.
While at its core the show is a medical drama, it does an excellent job of leaving viewers with something to take away beyond the medical cases. The third season, in particular, captured the sense of family within the hospital, bringing the series full circle. Each challenge faced by the staff kept me on the edge of my seat and eagerly awaiting more.
I definitely plan to watch the first season to experience everything in action from the start. The ending of season three was slightly open-ended, and while I’d love to see a fourth season, I’d also be content if this is where the series ends. Dr. Romantic is hands down the best medical K-drama I’ve seen!

Season 3 was better than ever
Season 3 characters, especially the new characters, was not disappointing. I am more disappointed that I’ve watched all the episodes already.I just love how Master Kim can turn a difficult moment into a teachable and encouraging moment; and that his most loyal students had also in turn done the same thing with their juniors even when the seniors were still learning. They even gave Dr. Kang something to think about.
I hope there’s a season 4 because I would love to see Drs. Kang and Seo work together.

A masterpiece series
A masterpiece seriesSo for those who love series related to medicine, this is the series, for those who love to see vision, hope, dedication, perseverance, healing and recovery (of both doctors and patients) and that everything is combined in a love story (and not just for the medical profession) this is the series. Perfect casting for the three seasons, perfect script, perfect acting, perfect soundtrack that is already on my playlist, I saw the three seasons in less than a week, I was captivated, not a single episode was unnecessary, simply a wonderful and recommended series, and for those who ask whether to watch all the seasons, then unequivocally yes, do not give up, no season. If it were possible to rate more than 10, I would do so with love.

Legacy in Every Stitch: Doldam’s Heart Beats On
Some sequels feel like reunions. Dr. Romantic 3 felt like a homecoming — not just back to Doldam Hospital, but to a way of storytelling that never forgets where it started, even as it pushes forward. It’s rare to watch a three-season drama that evolves this organically. No whiplash. No gimmicks. Just deepening bonds, widening circles, and the kind of emotional consistency that speaks to the integrity behind the camera as much as on-screen.Teacher Kim, still magnetic, still maddeningly brilliant, remains the compass. Han Suk-kyu continues to play him with that now-signature mix of intensity and quiet grace. He’s older, maybe a touch wearier, but he hasn’t dulled. If anything, his fire burns brighter — not louder, just deeper. He teaches through challenge, through confrontation, through care disguised as frustration. He’s still the moral spine of the show, and watching him hold the line in a world that keeps moving the goalposts? It’s strangely comforting.
Seo Woo-jin and Cha Eun-jae return not as students this time, but as surgeons anchored in their roles. They’ve grown into themselves — Woo-jin no longer running from his ghosts, Eun-jae standing taller in her own name — and it shows. Their relationship feels lived-in now, all rough edges worn down by trust. No need for fireworks; this is the quiet loyalty of people who have been through hell together and decided to stay. Their journey isn’t about whether they can do it. It’s about how they choose to.
And the Doldam team? Now more ensemble than ever. What was once Teacher Kim’s world has expanded into a genuine ecosystem — nurses, administrators, residents, even the returning faces that pop in like old friends dropping by. The show doesn’t just give them names. It gives them purpose. Everyone’s part of the rhythm now, and that sense of camaraderie makes every crisis hit harder, because you care — not just about the patients, but about the people holding the scalpel.
What hit me hardest this season was how earned everything felt. The risks weren’t just medical. They were personal. Ethical. Institutional. And when they paid off — and they often did — it wasn’t because someone gave a dramatic speech. It was because we’ve watched these characters become the kind of people who choose to do the right thing, even when no one’s watching. That kind of payoff is rare, and god, it feels good.
But let’s talk about what you said — because yes, I feel it too: that deep, unshakable craving for one more chapter. A reunion. A collision of eras. Teacher Kim, Dong-joo, Seo-jung, Woo-jin, Eun-jae, In-beom, all in the same OR, clashing, learning, saving lives, driving each other up the wall. It’s the kind of dream that lingers after the final scene — not because the story was incomplete, but because it was so complete, so loved, that we’re not ready to let go.
If this really is the final season, it bowed out with elegance and fire. But something in me still hopes. Not for fanservice, not for nostalgia’s sake — but because Dr. Romantic has never been about just one doctor. It’s about legacy. About handing off the scalpel. And there’s one last handoff I’m still dying to see.

Overall enjoyable, but not that great. S1&S2 better.
I enjoyed this season, but S1&S2 were better.I've seen Lee Kyung Young (in drama as Cha Jin Man) in other dramas as an antagonist or villain. In this drama, in my opinion, he wasn't an antagonist. He and Master Kim have different beliefs. It's like on a spectrum both of them are on opposite sides (one on the left and the other on the right). In some cases presented in the drama, it would be hard to determine who is right because both brought in valid points. However, I found myself questioning most actions and words of Cha Jin Man throughout the drama. Most of them I disagreed with. His type of character is quite realistic in a way.
I liked how this drama they focused on support roles such as Nurse Euntak and Jung In Soo. We get to see more of their stories and their background. As far as relationships, there were minor misunderstandings between both couples (Euntak and Areum & Woojin and Eunjae) that were resolved and didn't drag out too long.
The cameo role of Kang Dong Joo was a great addition. His character is like the center of a spectrum. He's a mix of both Cha Jin Man and Master Kim. He may not be perfect, but he balances the two sides.
My issues with the drama is medical-related issues. There's a lot of unprofessional behavior shown and most of it is not even corrected or addressed properly. At times, I was even frustrated with Woojin and Eunjae. The two made very silly decisions sometimes but no one bothered to correct their behavior. The drama made it seem like their choices were reasonable when it was not. Doctors are humans that can make mistakes. But it's important to set your ego/pride off to the side and accept where you were at fault and learn from it.
Also some of the things shown were quite unrealistic as well.

Watching for the 2nd time.
i was excited but nervous that season 3 would not live up to previous seasons but for me it did. It is by far the best medical drama i have seen no matter where it came from be it the USA or my home country the UK. The acting is superb throughout no matter the character big or supporting. They become the characters in the story. i cannot praise them enough.This is my second time i am watching this series and i am really enjoying it again.
I was uncomfortable with how the story of objections and refusal to work came across. As a once nurse, now retired, i am quite old, i have been faced with difficult questions before. Perhaps in the UK it was looked on differently, But given recent events here, ie strikes of hospital professionals, an attitude i never thought i would see. I find it heartbreaking,
But as all good storytelling does as it should, challenges the viewers. It certainly gave me pause for thought. Which is no bad thing. I may be old but not too old to learn, change if needs be. All very stimulating.
It was a more case driven series, but for me even more interesting , however the character grew as they met each challenge.
I sincerely hope that there will be a season 4, bringing back some old characters, but i hope it will not take 3 years for it to appear, given my age. Ha Ha.
My thanks to all the team be it the crew, the writers, directors, who obviously did a fantastic job , and without whom the actors would not be free to do such a brilliant job.
