Did you drop it at this part? It was necessary to lead into what happened after that. I agree, though, if that happened to me IRL, he wouldn't get another chance.
My Mister and My Liberation Notes from the same writer are also excellent. Especially, My Mister.Our Unwritten…
I don't know how long you gave Hospital Playlist, but can I suggest giving it another try? I have watched this more than 10 times. The friendships, the romances, the comedy, the seriousness. I loved it all, other than, being from healthcare, the difficult words they used when talking to patients. They would never understand those terms.
Although I usually think that you need to give a drama more than two episodes to settle into it, I really appreciate your well thought out review, and your specific reasons for not liking it. You mentioned over-the-top...I think this is coming off my list of Plan to Watch dramas. Thank you!
