Alzheimer's or a brain tumor. Preview makes it sound like she spoke with Song-Hwa about her condition, and you don't talk to a neurosurgeon about Alzheimer's.

He will be understanding that she had to rush off and couldn't meet up with him once he knows the cause, but he will not be as forgiving if she shuts him out throughout the rest of the process. The fact that she sent him a text instead of calling him when she couldn't meet him is a bit troubling on it own, but it's extra worrisome that she didn't just explain the situation in the text that she sent.

I'm sincerely hoping that the preview for episode seven is misleading (like it usually is) and the Gyeol situation is cleared up quickly once she's with her mom and can properly give him an explanation of why she had to rush off. Here's hoping the "not being able to respond" line was because she was getting on a plane and taking care of hospital stuff, not her shutting him out because she still struggles to communicate. Our boy Jung-won doesn't need to be worrying about his relationship on top of his mom's health. :-(

My fingers are crossed, too. I wasn't a big fan of them last season, but they have grown on me. The preview for today's episode made it seem like will get more of them!

No, it airs on Thursdays. A new episode will be out tomorrow.

She was a classic case of someone whose bullying stemmed from being abused herself, so I wouldn't say she was a horrible person or that she didn't suffer. Instead, she was suffering all along, conditioned by her mother-in-law and her own mentor to be mean and cut-throat as a method of survival. Rather than thinking of her as someone who was rewarded for being a bully, think of it more as her finding happiness as a result of her breaking and escaping the cycle of abuse.

I don't really feel like the workplace violence and bullying was glorified. It was highlighted and featured, yes, but it wasn't portrayed as a positive thing to be upheld, and Song Ga Kyung being a redeemable character shows that the cycle of abuse in the workplace can--and SHOULD--be broken.

No, the way he stared surprised and frightened at his glass, it looked like he was drugged by someone, likely the homeless man. It appears that whoever drugged him is trying to frame him for murder, or they attempted to kill him while he was passed out and the women came unexpectedly and was killed instead.

Unless we get some weird body swapping/possession with the twins going on last episodes, the fantasy tag is probably a mistake. Netflix only lists this drama as "intimate, romantic, and suspenseful."

The new brand of hand sanitizer this season is what give me a chuckle. It's completely normal for it to be in a hospital, but the close-up of the bottle in multiple scenes makes it so obvious. haha.

Very unhealthy. :-(

I do appreciate that they are showing one of the characters go through all the stages of a relationship, though, rather than all five of them neatly pairing off into successful relationships. But now that have shown us how lonely he is, I sincerely hope that they introduce a new love interest for him. While couples get back together in the real world, more often than not, they don't, so I hope the drama follows that line of realism instead of a reconciliation.

All aboard the Jae-hak love train!

Ik-jun is probably "allowing" this because he knows his sister was in the wrong and his best friend deserves better. He also doesn't know that his sister lied to Jun-wan about why they broke up.

Also, I'm not sure Jun-wan believes the lie Ik-sun told him. He saw on her social media, before she broke up with him, that she set up the friend --the one she supposedly had feelings for--on a blind date with someone else. So he probably knows she lied to him so he would accept the breakup, and he was too tired and too mature to try and fight her on it.

A lot of the guest actors/actresses have appeared in the director and writer's other shows. It's like a fun little game to play spot the Prison Playbook character. haha.

But for real, even the actors portraying the patients and their families who only appear on screen for a few minutes are amazing. For critics to call the show crap and not even acknowledge how objectively superb the acting is is just ridiculous.

Ok, glad I wasn't the only one who was reading too into how long he stared after her when she left!

Oh man, I would love to see that scene! That or he throws a tantrum in public and that's how everyone finds out that they are secretly dating. haha

Gyeol's jealous face is so cute! All the ladies want her man. haha I'm kind of hoping the new male GS resident provides us with a scene where Jung-won gets jelly.

I'm still hopeful that the writers will keep this as the show's example of a failed relationship among the group (I don't count Ik-Jun and Suk-Hyung's divorces since the audience wasn't emotionally invested in those relationships), even if it is unlikely.

I do appreciate the fact, though, that they didn't bring Ik Sun back in today's episode. If they are going to make them reconcile, I'm glad we are able to see Jun-wan being single for a while instead of his time alone being skipped over with the rest of the missing year.

I don't understand people who are able to trash-talk Hospital Playlist either. This is one of those shows where, even if the genre isn't your cup of tea, you should still be able to appreciate the acting, writing, and directing. I have respect for the commenters who admit that their reason for disliking it is just a matter of their personal preference for something more dramatic, romantic, fast-paced, etc.

I think the thing that bothered me about the time skip is that they could have spaced the 2020 year out over the course of the first five episodes, having time pass similarly to how it did in season one, albeit a little faster. Most of the events from the first five episodes didn't really need to occur in the fixed 2-3 months they supposedly occurred in, and in some cases--like the breakup of Jon-wan and Ik-sun--more time having passed would have made the circumstances more understandable.
