The ultimate plot twist: Pil Hyeon has kidnapped TJ out of jealousy :P

Oh she definitely means no harm, I just meant that it's one of those homemade gifts where the thought definitely counts way more than the actual object XD

In part I think GK just wanted to hurt TJ in the way TJ has been hurting him and ended up going too far in the heat of the moment.

It could also be because he's scared of TJ's father though. I think the two of them starting a relationship would definitely ve enough to get GK fired and TJ sent to England, so GK may want to try and avoid that happening. That's one of the reasons I think, other than TJ just trashing the house out of anger, his dad might have had something to do with it :P

I really hope it's not kidnapping because it would make no sense with what we've seen so far XD

If TJ did trash the house it's quite possible he just did it out of frustration rather than to get GK's attention. This close to the end of the show, I don't think it's the time to be pulling those kinds of stunts.

Honestly the only was a kidnapping would make sense would be if it was his own dad who'd taken him to send him to England XD

I think it would probably make most sense if TJ had trashed the house out of anger and then GK mistakes it as a kidnapping.

The only other situation I can think of that would make sense is TJ's dad packing him off to England for some reason and TJ not wanting to go.

Ngl, that 'guardian angle' thing looked terrifying and if someone had given it to me, I would have taken it as a threat....

The house looked like it had been trashed.

I know that some people are speculating about whether this drama is a stepping stone to LGBTQ+ content becoming more mainstream in SK so, for those of you who are interested, I thought I'd put this here:

In August this year, there's going to be a Sci-Fi anthology series called SF8, one of the episodes is called "Astronaut Joan" (https://kisskh.at/58931-sf8-spaceman-joanne) which apparently depicts "a queer youth unfolding in the midst of a fine dust disaster". It seems to be GL and, if it happens, will be aired on MBC.

I get your point but given the pretty rampant homophobia in SK it genuinely is quite a big ask for both the cast and crew (especially with all the nonsense going on about the itaewon district at the moment and also with the fact I think they'd have to rate it 18+ if they did include a kiss). It shouldn't be a big deal, but it is, so as long as they manage to deliver an ending that's as unambiguously bl as possible, I'm going to be happy with or without a kiss.

For those of you interested, there's a trio of Korean doctors who have reacted to some of the episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fZL3yOPN_Q

For anyone wondering just how accurate Hospital Playlist was (e.g. why it doesn't feel like other hospital dramas), I'd definitely recommend!

There are minor cliffhangers that leave it open to a second season but nothing major. It's not really a show that can do major cliffhangers tbh, given the writing-style and subject matter.

No, the package just wasn't delivered. It's a symbol of the difficulties they're going to face as a long distance couple, not a sign that their relationship has ended :)

Haha, I know. My joke was that the UK postal system is notoriously unreliable so the fact the the parcel got sent back is actually very realistic :P

Everyone else is confused about the package getting returned, meanwhile I'm blown away by the scarily accurate portrayal of the uk postal system XD

Thank you, Jeong Won, for proving me wrong. I genuinely thought you'd make it all the way to Italy before you had your change of heart.

Also thank you to the little girl and her family for showing him just how much good he does and how much joy he brings as a doctor :)

I don't think she returned it, I think the postman wasn't able to deliver it. It's more a symbol of the difficulties they're about to face, rather than her just outright rejecting him.

I mean, I kind of get it but I would argue that ignoring BL/LGBT content that is clearly meant to be LGBTQ+ content just because there's no kiss lowers our chances of getting LGBTQ+ content with a kiss. I'm not saying that there isn't a possibility this show won't ultimately turn out to be queerbaiting af (although I bloody hope not) but I also think there's a relatively high chance it could end up being a genuine portrayal of a gay relationship within the limits it has imposed upon it (I think if it includes a kiss it'll have to rate at least that ep 18+ but I'm not 100% sure).

The first 2 episodes were unfairly adorable. I feel attacked and overly invested for something I've only seen 20 minutes of

Yeah it was definitely Chi Yong who pushed too far this episode. He was very clearly jealous for most of the ep and then waited until Ik Jun was drunk to push for an answer to a question he'd previously avoided. Also he keeps telling Song Hwa that he'll work to get over her and not make things awkward for her and then manufactures situations where the exact opposite happens. Yes, his crush is cute and pure, but it's also persistent and pushy in a way that makes me (and Song Hwa by the looks of it) kind of uncomfortable.
