My only beef with this otherwise intriguing show is its inconsistent pacing. At times it moves at snail's pace and other times is moves along frenetically. The lack of discipline in C dramas is really their undoing. There are a lot of unnecessary bits of dialogue. Zhu Yilong is great as always. Fatty is generally okay although he talks too much at times. And the kid that played the General in Dr Cutie is much much better here.

Is Keanu Reeves wannabe a reference to Baron Chen's so-called Blind Guy?

This one is about the "puppet" motif and is riddled with spoilers. It shouldn't be read until you've seen the whole drama.

I've written a couple of posts for this drama on my blog, if anyone's really interested. I really liked the show and the more I thought about it, the more I saw the depth that was present. This one is a non-spoiler review:

It's much harder for friends to become lovers. Song-hwa and Ik-jun come with so much baggage. That will take time to overcome. Even if she had a crush on him in their student days, she's moved on since. It will take time for her to think of him in that way again. Plus she's not in that frame of mind now. She needs to get better.

It's different for JWon and Gyeo-ul because they don't have a lot of baggage. The only thing that was stopping him was the priesthood vs pediatrics question. Once he resolved that in his mind, he could open up to her.

Similar. Plays with viewer expectations as well.

The writer of the Reply Series but the PD of Prison Playbook.
A great series all round.

Two more seasons dear.

Were there supposed to be plot twists?

My 13-year-old loves it and is watching it with me during my rewatch.

I feel the same about YYS. I've never liked him that much until now. I think it's PD Shin's magic TBH. It's the same with all the actors in Prison Playbook.

Everything is on Spotify. Just type in Hospital Playlist.

I love this show and Prison Playbook but I dropped Reply 88 after the first 4 episodes.

I heard June 2021

I think it's God telling him to not go to Rome.

It's interesting. I'm not entirely convinced we are wrong because there are aspects to his behaviour that tell me there's something going on between them.

She's dating Chi-hong

June 2021 is what I heard.

Agree 100%

Better late than never!
