Where to watch?

Even after watching it several years ago, I keep coming back to this drama as my favorite of all time. Absolute magic.

My favorite Korean actress, I admire her so much!! She's so relateable in Doctor Slump, I hope we see lots and lots more of her!!

I'm totally with you! She seems to get a lot of 'haters' because they don't like her kiss scenes but I think there's a lot more to a good actress than this.

I remember on some FB Kdrama groups they would criticize her kiss scenes or would find her one-note--honestly I enjoy her under-stated acting, plus she's not a 'loud' or over-the-top actress. I feel like she has a social awkwardness that is really endearing.

He's giving total Ji Sung vibes in Doctor Slump rn

This was not just Kdrama news, it was international news, but if you weren't paying attention to any entertainment news, just google the actor's name and you'll get caught up real fast.

I'm so happy to see him getting lead roles!!

I'm so devastated!!! He was an all-time favorite actor of mine. Please rest in peace.

OH I'm an idiot! I was thinking of Professor Cha in SKY Castle, not Doctor Cha! My apologies XD

YES! my favorite SKY Castle family, these two had such electric chemistry!!

Prof. Cha was a terrible human being - but he was never a cheater!

Not sure why Korea does it though...it's an interesting thought!

"Why are the trucks white?"

--in Chinese culture (and Japanese culture sometimes) white resembles death. There's also the "white horse of death" in Judeo-Christian mythos?

I think she's a great actress, most people dislike her kiss scenes which I think is valid but not a deal-breaker.

Didn't PSH not join the cast of Psycho? I'd love it if she was but the MDL listing has someone different.

I will admit that one of the reasons I love it is because of the way they handle my favorite senshi - Sailor Mercury. That's all I'll say. >w<
