Technically its Better, NO Draging of plot, NO unwanted plot twists, Short and sweet straight to the point 💯…
Well personally I think it's case by case...Beacuse for a drama like RP it makes a little difference since it's a slice of life medical drama with multiple cases showing up every other ep, so it could literally keep going even with 24 eps (basically season 1+2 script) as long as the scriptwriter stays the same and has thought out about each episode's plot beforehand. But for some other dramas that could definitely work!
I finally had some time to check this out and honestly by Thai BL standards, it's above average. Episode 1 already shows a major production budget behind it and the script/plot seem pretty solid so far. If there's a weak point, it's the acting but to be fair that’s a common issue in 90% of Thai BLs, so it’s not unexpected. Be it leads or supporting casts, there will be multiple cases of actors lacking in something when it comes to their acting performances in most of them. That said, the performances in Ep1 are watchable.
Overall, it's a strong opening. My main concern rn is whether the plot and writing can maintain this level all the way through. I just really hope they avoid over the top comedy scenes some Thai bl throw in and don’t go overboard with the number of R-rated scenes... With the kind of production value they’ve put into this, it deserves a well-written script to match it. So I guess we will see in the long run how this one goes from here~
umjayy sabiii, our umbi couple please they are so cute dancing together 😭
IKR?! Curently watching that part and they were soo cute 😭 ALSO if Sabi knows the moves doesn't that mean she was a fan of his group too?? Edit: Aand she really was damn haha Her poker face is like no other for so long she was working with her idol >< And her saying she didn't bias him yet getting all blushy/smily inside the taxi lol
Jaeil having a moment with his fan from kpop era had me both laughing my ass off AND at the same time having a moment of self reflection as a fan myself lol But it was also portrayed in a heartwarming way~ Btw jaelous Sabi is everything haha
Does it have to end seriously...I mean I just feel like there is alot more to explore about the characters and…
Samee, I desperately need at least one more season of this too! 😭 It finally started getting really good after around ep 5-6 for me, we’re seeing real character growth, progress and such strong development in their relationships and teamwork on each ep. I’d love to see even more of that explored! Honestly the great thing about series like this is that as a slice-of-life centered show around one profession, they have so much potential for multiple seasons! I really hope the crew will see the hype it got and consider it!
Just checked the highlight on YouTube for today's ep and it looked so fun and our ship is finally sailing officially!! Cannot wait to watch it later today!! >< ALSO I ended up watching ep10 preview and omg you guys it's sooo packed!! We got Yiyoung/Dowong couple moments and talks of moving in together, Yiyoung and Namgyeong fighting lol and we also got Sabi/Jaeil cute moment! AND last but not least Ikjun and his wifey Songhwa holding hands while walking in the hospital!!
one question. Is Resident Playbook going to have season 2? some sites claim that netflix canceled season 2 for…
Actually as far as I can tell it wasn't canceled, it's just that this is a limited series on Netflix? Which typically means the story is wrapped up in one season with no plans for a follow-up. That being said, there have been exceptions where a show gained popularity and they decided to add more seasons before... We also have to keep in mind that this isn’t a Netflix original so the decision about whether there will be more seasons ultimately rests with TVN. The PD even mentioned in an interview that the original plan was for just one season, but if there's enough fan interest and it does well a second season is always possible! Personally I’m also hoping for another season! Ever since episode 4 the show has been getting so good and really growing on me so I’d be sad to see it end after just 12 episodes.
I wish every episode was this good. I was slightly struggling in the beginning.
Oh, I totally get you about the begining part but honestly that's how it is with most dramas... You usually need the first 1-2 episodes to lay the foundation and start building their way up. It’s pretty rare for me to find a drama I love right away from episode 1 and even when they do start strong, they often lose steam halfway through. So, I actually preferit when a show takes its time to develop and improves with each episode! I just wish there were more than just 12 episodes and 1 season... I’m really going to miss this!
after watching 8 eps, i realized i’ve cried the most during almost every nam-kyung scene 😭😭 there’s…
Actually even the PD admitted in an interview that somehow Nam Gyeong ended up with the most emotional and tear-jerking scenes throughout the entire series lol So us crying the most on her parts kinda makes sense! The actress also mentioned that every time she filmed one of these emotional moments, it would take her a while to snap out of it as the tears just wouldn’t stop flowing.
Couldn't even make it through the first episode...😴😴😴 this is no Hospital Playlist. Sorry.
Well, the point wasn't for it to be like HP to begin with...Otherwise, we'd call it HP S3 instead of RP. Unlike HP, where the characters already have their lives, careers, and friendships pretty much set and are already in their 40s, dealing with struggles through the comfort of familiarity, RP is all about fresh new starts of genz people in their late 20s who are just beginning their new life as residents in the hospital. And yes with lots of mistakes and lessons learned along the way...Cause they are still figuring things out as they try to carve out a way for themselves in an entirely new environment while also trying to build new friendships. So yes this is certainly different but ofc still sharing a similar outline, which is both being medical slice of life kdramas with engaging patient cases and depictions of slow burn romances and friendship along the way. But the characters of the friend group and their dynamics do differ to an extent, as most spin-offs do... I will admit though as an observation while watching this myself, that ep1 wasn't the strongest opening and some might find FL annoying but after ep2 it just kept getting better and better! (but still with a different "flavor" than HP)
I love that more of the residents backstories were filled in during episode 8. When I started watching the first…
Same here! This ep felt so rewarding and informative! It was thoroungly packed and we got to learn more things about all of the residents! I also can't believe we only have 4 eps left TT I will really miss this...I hope they will see the good results and push for a S2!
