Me? No. Its NOT about romance. There are NO romance tags. Its the posters shipping the 1st year resident and chief resident incessantly. Any interactions has a subtle meaning behind it. Its just colleagues talking. Or senior to junior. Plus in laws speaking to each other.

I only remembered them focusing on the patient with ascites. Then the pregnant one that Sabi looked after. In fact Namgyung had 2 patients stories. However there are no patient and their families stories. I used to remember those a lot.

Its fine. I am actually not that worked up. I was playing the Devil's advocate.

The joke in medicine is that you find your partner in med school because once you start work you won't have time.

I sorta laugh when the show showed GDW's work schedule. Its probably right.

The other comment is that what medical students study or how much they study in their undergrad year does not compare to the level of commitment when they are doing their further training. People generally take 1 month or more off before each important exams. They have to participate in research trials. On top of being on call. The joke about failing until you pass is not a joke but a fact. Not many specialist pass all their clinical and written exams- multiple parts- at their first go. The majority may fail one part or another. And some will take a certain part up 3 times.

So yeah I feel for GDW. Here he is being a chief resident. Doing research. Now supervising the 1st year. A lazy Fellow... and he has the priority or brain cells to think about being interested in someone and having the time to even go out on his time off. And not study? I have seen countless friends and colleagues study and focus on their training and especially the final year. Even a slacker like myself in the undergrad years buckled down and studied in my postgraduate years. Its a speciality you need to be able to answer everything in that area. The college- what they call the individual professional body- arranges for lectures at work for trainees.

GDW has no time for dating this year. Full stop.

I am talking about romance in the medical field and specifically focused on the romance possibilities of a chief resident.

I write fast. So it only took me 15-minutes. I spent more time the last 2 days trying to find any spoiler comment or any discussion about any back story, plot progression or character movements. There was maybe 40% or less commentson it. Its predominantly about the romance.

Only 1 couple cameo and MAN they were cute.

Check the MDL tags. No romance.

However there is obsessive comments of viewers WANTING a romance. Not to the level of Reply fans.

Just watch it. If you want a romance drama then don't watch it.

Any patients or cases stand out for you in each episode?

Patients were the core of HP. The acting there were phenomenal. I cried and cried for the patients in HP.

Yet all I hear now is romance, romance and more romance. I went to check the MDL tags. Romance isn't there.

By the way if I am a 1st year resident and my brother in law is my chief resident I'd be careful. Then if I have eaten with my bro in law for years would I suddenly fall for him? Not to mention she interned in Yulje and he would have been there. Like seriously guys there is only ONE chief resident. Looking at the number of professors how many interns and residents does he have? A lot.

People fall into or have a romance when its the right person and time. She has time for a romance being a first year resident. Doesn't he have exams and then to become a Fellow? No one has time to date when finals are coming and you're trying to become a consultant. Yes.... ask any medical relative if they know of ANYONE who has time for romance when they are the chief resident or basically facing board exams here. Almost everyone has no life that year. Anyone with a partner knows that whole year means no time off except study leave before exams. Medical school is you take your exams and pass. Specialist training is you fail until you pass. Ask any specialist.

Romance, romance and romance indeed.


I happen to like Do Won the character and the absolutely am obsessed by the actor. However even I am here for the 1st year resident life. She can fall in love or crush all she wants. He has other things to do in work. Plus get some sleep. Then study. Those of you who say there is more to life than work. Or dating is more important in your final year? Yeah right. I have never seen anyone say love is more important that year compared to work, study and sleep. In that order. The ONLY ones that say it are those who have partners and have a kid then take time off.... before coming back for training. But not during final year.

No one is dating anyone except the cameos from couples in HP.

Thanks. I now have to pay attention to the actress.

Omg that's HER?
Wowser. Now I need to remember which episode it was in.

I didn't realise it was her.

I am having a good chuckle. I was wondering how how the romance will go but I guess it can work. I wasn't expecting Chairman Han the fastidious prissy man to be a bulldozer when he sets his mind to it.

Kang Soo is going to be flabbergasted his boss and girlfriend's father or potential father is going to gallop into his life like that. He seems to be a nice young man but you don't get to be a Special Forces Lieutenant by being passive and laidback.

So Seri's parents won't have an easy path separating the couple because their family members won't stand for it.

You forget that happens in every medical drama. Just that she is disguised as a pretty Fellow. The times it happens in other dramas its shown to be the crusty old male consultants.

People like this exists in the real world. Its all the professors who do not do the research and are in the research trial. The senior who claims to be nice and kind to juniors but make them work so hard.

I am rather pleased they finally wrote a nasty character in the Playlist franchise.

Yeah well why do we want really scary monsters? Did you see ratings? It's for 15 years old and older. Its a SBS drama so on normal tv. They are not going to show movie level horror make up at whatever time it shows in S Korea. I think it used to be 2150hrs?

The description made me laugh. A lot.

Er I helped in Mandarin and Korean drama translations on viki. Drama vocabulary or specialised vocabulary from historical, legal, medical or specialised job workplace dramas are nothing like real life.

I also happen to speak Mandarin and 3 other Chinese dialects, need Korean in real life/ family is Korean and also fluent in English.

And NO I will not and cannot pass as a Mandarin speaking staff member. And I do and have stepped in as translator for these language for work.

I also have a very precise tone and accent. You also need to be understood. My kids Mandarin intonations is horrendous. I live in Australia and their Aussie accents just massacres the sentences. I have problems understanding them.

So I am giving you precise reasons on whether you can converse in a 30 minute interview in Mandarin. Or write a pamphlet or translate something for the interviewers.

I don't get the correlation?

The ad says a Mandarin speaker.

Are you fluent? I presume they don't mean someone who reads Simplified Chinese?

I speak Mandarin but can't understand historical drama and I wouldn't apply for a job requiring a Mandarin speaker. I don't know what type of translation is needed.

I also happen to translate Mandarin dramas previously and I couldn't translate a full episode- my Mandarin is not good enough. I also am good enough to interview people in Mandarin for work in an emergency- English speaking country here.


So giving it to you as gauge about whether to apply for a job. I also read Hangul, help translate and edit Korean dramas for fun and speak it. And ALSO would not interview for a job requiring a Korean speaker. I also function as a Korean speaker for work in an emergency. My work place requires- in an emergency- Mandarin, Italian, Greek, Persian, Cantonese, Nepalese, Polish, Russian etc speakers without notice.

At the end of the day this drama is good because of the storytelling.

The director is good. Acting is good. The story arcs have a rationale.

So it all depends on whether you're here for the journey ie the whole drama or all you want is 2 people together. Then watch a 100% straightforward romance ie Ski into love. That was so cheesy I could barf.

So yeah... finish it. Life doesn't guarantee everyone does everything you want. At least it was logical. A lot of drama are not. I still haven't recovered from that historical drama that killed everyone around the main couple.

Oh I am more familiar with the male lead.

He has a very relaxed acting style. Very natural. Nice voice.

His look is totally not my type at all but he makes his characters likeable so yeah I came because of him being in it. I don't look for any of his dramas but if he happens to be in it; I'd give it a go.

Bugger. Ergh.

Thanks.

Well wasn't expecting this drama at all. Nice.

I currently have no Cdrama to watch so whether its bad or good I have no choice.

Does he do it all the time? I liked the Bai Lu drama he did. The modern world one.
