whee

I dropped Healer after the first episode. Back then, I thought that it was real bad, the action scenes were really meh, the plot didn't convince me at all... Few months later I found out that it's on Netflix, and I had nothing better to watch, so I put the 2nd episode on and was instantly hooked. But I never went back to that first episode, even though I remembered what happened in it very vaguely.

I was so cracked when at the beginning of the episode Andrea was laughing at Jun Wan about his sweet words to Ik Sun, and then he proceeded to be an absolute sweetheart around Geoul XD I never expected him to be so caring towards her, especially at the very start of their relationship, you can see at one glance how much he cares for her... Also, he was already calling her by her first name during the date if I caught that correctly! I got so much more than I expected in this episode- big thanks to the crew that there was no time skip- and my fangirl heart is full right now. Also, if we already got a winter garden date in the first episode, I wish we see so much more as 11 episodes remain!

I KNOW RIGHT

Okay, so I wasn't able to keep myself from looking at spoilers on twitter, and seeing Winter Garden screenshots made me happy to tears. I'm honestly so fulfilled right now, I'm gonna die as a happy fan.

I can watch it in 2-3 hours after I get from work so I have to wait anyway, but my heart is actually fluttering at the moment :D

It's crazy how long I waited just to watch a 1.5 hour (at best) episode and then just wait another week for more haha. If I don't get some winter garden scenes tomorrow, you bet I'm gonna throw a fit (not really, but I hope they give me sth to live through the next week lol)

Man, there are so many people here who are so excited for it based on the 1st season... I see that you rated it 1 star, it's your right to do that, but please don't ruin it for others who loved it and are waiting eagerly for more by scaring them.

That's right, but I'm a bit worried about 3rd season - it hasn't been mentioned in a long time, and a lot of the actors started to get involved in other projects in the meantime (which will take place after 2nd season). I actually think HP will end with season 2, but it's only my personal opinion.

I do the same thing, but it's not useful for ongoing dramas... So I already bought access to VPN for the next 3 months (just for HP, yeah...), but it's kinda meh. It offers around 10 US servers, but I each time I use it I have to look through them one by one to see which isn't blocked by Netflix, it's a bit annoying. But I want to watch Hospital Playlist as soon as it's available & with no distractions, I'm ready to pay a bit more XD As you can see, I'm totally desperate about watching this one, not even ashamed lol

Let's not forget about the ML's (I assume) ex-girlfriend. Min Kyung did not have any luck this episode, poor girl.

The awkwardness was so refreshing!

I agree with you, he obviously should have listened to her and it was hella shady, but we should remember that the ML remembers too well all the moments when other people were wrongfully accused by FL (including him, not once). I know that's not a good enough excuse, but it can become hard to tell right from wrong in such a case...
Also let's not kid ourserves, it was a crazy coincidence for plot purposes, maybe he should have thought that it was shady, but I can't blame him for not connecting it to Yang case haha

I hate to say it, but I actually am the second one who thinks the same thing - I wasn't really all that into IkSong last season. I love them as friends but I feel that other couples had better chemistry and development. For me, Winter Garden wins by a long shot! (but of course everyone can have their own personal favourites <3)

As much as I love enemies-to-lovers storylines, I am so over 'handsome rich powerful & awfully mean' male lead trope... Haven't read the webtoon, so I hope I'm wrong. I am fine with cold personality of ML as long as he's not too cranky.

I would agree - I don't think there will be a time skip. I believe the first season already took around 1 year (in Hospital Playlist world, not ours of course), so I think it won't be anything out of ordinary for the second season to be based around a 1-2 years period so that Song Hwa can come to Yulje. But I am not sure anymore, my opinion on that changes basically with each new trailer haha (I also want my winter garden to be back soo bad, with every awkward detail of their relationship...)

Totally agree with Into the Ring! I have no idea why is there no buzz around it. I was surprised when I saw that it was released last year, not a few years ago, because no one was talking about it. One of the best rom coms I've ever watched.

I'm on ep 12 right now, and this is honestly such a fantastic drama. I've been on a drama slump the past few weeks, everything I started just didn't meet my expectations, I was skipping scenes left and right and by the time I got to the ending I wasn't interested in the plot anymore.
This, on the other hand, has me enjoying every-single-moment (maybe the first episodes were a bit draggy, but it wasn't that big of a problem). The relationship is awesome (I felt that it developed in just the right amount of time, with hardly any cliffhangers of WILL THEY KISS OR NOT and it's just a pleasure to watch the incredible chemistry between leads), the FL's approach to work is very fresh (the FL isn't the most knowledgeable person in the room, she is open that it's not her dream job, there are times when she makes mistakes - and that's fine, that's how people are), and these are just few of the things I love about this one. It is rare that I am sad that there are only 5 more episodes to watch, and that's one of those. Such a hidden gem!

Haha, we're almost there, but it does feel like forever...

With the new trailer, we finally get some more scenes! What are your theories for this season?
These are mine (based on rough trailer translation from YT):

- I was surprised that Song Hwa is getting pissed that something will take one year (her break from Yulje I suppose? Why was she so pissed, if it was her own choice to move?) My guess would be that she's even more overworked there or... maybe she misses a certain someone?
- Based on that and Jun Wan's "congratulations on your comeback" line, I actually believe that the first few (4-6) episodes will be from her year away (as they still haven't finished the filming process), and then she'll be back. Or is Jun Wan talking about Ik Sun? But I doubt that 3 years would go by in 1 season!
- Also the 4 boys were hyping Song Hwa in the front of the hospital - maybe cause they see her after a long time?
- It certainly does not seem that there's any awkwardness between Song Hwa and Ik Jun, when they ask each other to eat together. If they do get together at the beginning of the season, that would be surprising to me though (I thought they would keep us in the dark for at least a few episodes)
- Jung Won & Gyeul seem to be professional around each other... But what was that mellow look from Jung Won in the middle of the trailer? You can't convince me that it was towards someone other than her... I hope that they keep their relationship a secret for a few episodes and then there's a grand reveal!

Sorry for such a long post, but I'm super hyped! What are your predictions for the 2nd season?

Haha, I feel you, I prefer to binge as well. I managed to wait till the end of first season to start it, but I don't think I'll manage to wait as long with 2nd season (already looking for good VPN cause Netfix in my country doesn't put out episodes as they air, they share the whole season after it completely airs...)
