I liked ep2 more, and i'm looking forward to more

they're trying a bit too hard to say they're "too young" that's why they're uncaring, unsympathetic and experienced, but 28 isn't that young, also these characteristics aren't just for "naive" people, I've met old adult drs like that



but I’m a sucker for two things, maybe three
1. Cuties, long haired fl is my favorite, ie my new cutie, honestly she works the hardest and learned the fastest

2. “Calm normal mls”, older ml is totally my type, minus his protective slightly nearing obsession interest in fl which I get cuz otherwise everyone is just a stranger and kdramas hate that

3. The cameo(s) showing the progress of the og cast, eventho I dropped s2

I still hate fl’s uncaring nature and silent expressions and existence, and I don’t like the smart fl “not understanding compassion”

Also now I understand why so many things were “lost” to me, cuz the Arabic subs don’t translate half the things going on


Rather than saying they’re dumb, they’re so, one dimensional

Fl, and her uncaring nature is just a frozen faced mong/blank look of “she can’t remember anything or anyone”, not even her high school classmate and she just “doesn’t care”
i mean i met a highschool classmate, we were friends but not that close and we were in different classrooms, I met her again after 5 or so years at the hairdresser/saloon, she looked at me and i'm a shy person so I thought she was working there hovering waiting for me to tell them how i wanted my hair cut xD my mom was with me and she asked her "do you know each other" and she said yes xD


Ml, is randomly suffering from the idol syndrome, not even big grouped members have that, he goes around signing and over complicating any syndrome
Glasses fl, the “smarts one” is emotionally detached
And last fl is just, a cutie who’s too emotional



older ml's connection to the fl that whole scene was so badly done... going in the apartment together, showing someone playing footsie then also suddenly showing the four on the table like a family without clarifying who the older woman was, just to find out he's her brother in law's brother... lol that's so long, but they can't just leave people without any connection ;p

I get both if honestly not all of the four are “privileged”, spoiled in the sense that they didn’t face hardships, and thus also “sheltered”, many ppl in this generation are like that because of the increased opportunities

And it’s not a bad or wrong thing, it’s a bit hypocritical when the “older” generation treat us as kids when they like, then also shame us for being “too old to be clueless”, spoil us then also get upset we don’t work till our bones hurt

So I don’t see it here as that much of an impact and I wish they focus more on the growing friendships, which for me was the best part of the og


Out of the thousand dramas I’ve seen, koo down is exactly my type, and out of those dramas, the hospital playlist series had the best most realistic and normal male leads

Honestly I’d choose them over the toxic hot oppas any day


Another thing the series excels at is the different dynamics between each character, and everyone has their own personality and presence
I’m also loving the female power
If they won’t make a second season, I hope they continue their style and make more of these slice of life relatable dramas


When someone smiles like that when asking you out for dinner, that’s a big “green light”
Yiyoung took too long to realize he was confessing
But they’re just so cute, he’s literally the sweetest ml ever

lol I love her so much, she really bites
Koo down in love is just so cute, his eyes sparkle even during the surgery scenes

I also love the ending scene, in laws, living together, dating

I'm glad he didn't "love her first and pinned for her", he obviously liked her as a person and cared for her, but he never thought of her as a love interest until she showed interest and he started looking at her with new eyes

The new nurse and pregnant professor were also cute additions



I’m really going to miss this show I hope they make a second season
