SK is established because they are pretty much recycled from old Physical show. Other teams have no experience or perspective in Physical games.

Manny is probably just used as marketing ploy by Netflix/Physical. They needed big names in the show, you can't get any bigger than Manny in Asia. He has to leave because he has to prep up for his match.

Indonesia also switched out one of their team mates, which oddly did not even get a chance to play any game, since they get eliminated

Theres a lot in play here and probably some politics involved too. Netflix must have a good viewership in Australia. But I get you, Australia is pretty much seen as Westerners by Asians.

Isai brought in but not even given a chance in action. Glenn is so good looking. Sad that Indonesia left.

So hard to rate this, there are some good ones, and some I dont care.

Had to give them a leeway, it's a fiction anyway, and the story needs to be told that way for the point to be made. At least the police and the PI found out, I think that's like writers telling you that the issue is acknowledged.

nope

They figured early on the whole ISBN barcode thing, and yet when they have opportunity to get to suspect's library - full of books, ML did is to trash it, why he didn't put two and two together that he needs to find those books?

It's also a team sports. They have competed against each other before, they know them a lot better and most likely formed friendship post show, so the camaraderie must be there before Physical:Asia

It is not rigged, IMO.

However, Korea has an unfair advantage, given that the athletes are recycled from Physical:100. They are more familiar with these games.

Surprisingly easy to watch series. Plot is simple and nothing remarkable, but the characters carried the whole thing. Perfectly casted, good characterization and acting.

The whole hospital angle felt like was suddenly dropped. Initially thought the neurologist will be a point of story and developed into a love triangle, but it didn't.

I just finished watching Dr Romantic S2 and now also watching S3, and it's quite weird to see Ahn Hyo Seop look so different.

The mystery and plot felt like ridiculously drawn out, but it was okay. The story was about character development, and I enjoyed the journey. 10/16 right now.

Just simply scroll through here and read comments of what "people" thought?!?

It's so annoying when they are trying to be cryptic and all. It's not scary. It's annoying and frustrating lol

And man, the hospital employed a nurse, who has direct contact with the patient, who killed her daughter. And prosecutor and the hospital goes only after the doctor. The lawyer even conspired with the nurse. Is this being seriously? Then the nurse even actively involved herself in protest, and all shit. They dont have CCTV in the hallway or what? Didnt they notice how Dr. John bumped into her in the hallway with the form?

The hospital even put Dr John back into the position where he legally charged for murder. Are you serious? He doesn't even have any oversight committee or probation? It is the same as the daughter doctor, they just shoo her back in he hospital after making a big brouhaha that sent her as a jailhouse doctor.

Half baked subplots.
Non-sense storylines.
Characters that I really don't care.

The best part in the series are the patient and their storyline.

Honestly, the best part probably is the pilot episode, if they have just keep him in prison, it's probably going to work.

They wasted so much time in yapping and dragging with whole romance. I dont even see the chemistry.

There's that lawyer, but don't feel like there's any justice. WTF he is going after the doctor who already spent his time in prison for? And yet he doesn't care to go after the bullies of the CIPA patient? And the weird nurse, I dont care about her, honestly. They drag so long until showing the whole motivation.

And the cherubim plotline is just half-baked. Are we supposed to care about this, after showing only a few scenes? Am I supposed to empathize with the sudden appearance of euthanizing doctor? WHO IS HE???

The whole series is maddening and it's just annoying.

To begin with the hospital accepted a convicted doctor, and their biggest concern is that he has CIPA? Are you okay?

And they want to kick him out while the CIPA patient is dying in their hospital? Aren't they supposed to keep a CIPA doctor for a CIPA patient since their ideology is that only doctors who can experience pain treat patients that are in pain? LOL.

It's not even like it's a black and white situation. The hospital can still keep him as advisory, without direct patient interaction, since he is great in diagnosis. The series already showed that. The whole hospital administration is so clueless and out of their depth, they have no clue what the hell is happening and they have to be the one calling the shot, like are you okay?

The whole series have so many half-baked storylines, and it's just confusing because they either senseless or just I dont care. Like in the end, all of sudden, they have this whole cherubim storyline, which I could not careless, and euthanizing doctor who I dont have any feeling or connection. And whats the point of the lawyer, like they can scrap the whole nurse and lawyer and the series still stand.

Still make zero sense. It is the same thought as cancer patient should only be treated by doctors who have family members that are suffering with exact the same cancer they have, otherwise, how are these oncologist empathize with the patient?

Now that they brought this up, shouldn't he be the BEST person to take care of Lee Gi Seok, the CIPA patient? And yet, they want him kick out while he is in their care/vicinity? Like who else in the hospital can best take care of him, AND empathize with him, but the ONLY doctor in the hospital who is suffering from CIPA? LOL.

Uh true. It is so stretched. Typical korean drama occupation administrative bullying trope.

So confused, how does the "President" of the hospital, who is also the surgeon allow a double surgery of a doctor, while sitting his ass in the office, doing nothing. Like, aren't he supposed to be helping in this kind of situation? A surgeon supposedly who has the skill?

Ahn Hyo Seop is so tall and handsome, so obvious they are trying to replicate the main guy in previous season. Sadly, I still feel attached to the characters of first season. I'm on episode 4, and felt like the whole setup/scenario is a tired trope and rehash ploy from S1. Can we just get rid of the main hospital, it's just getting boring and ridiculous, tbh.

It's a great series, unfortunately, dampened by annoying "antagonistic characters", characters who are not even worth calling a doctor, or doesn't even act like one. Jang Hyuk Jin is the worst, followed by President Do. Then you have the annoying daughter of Chairman Shin.
