Enjoyable, but...

Maybe I've only watched a few medical dramas, but dr. romantic feels like your typical 'drama-heavy' show, focusing more on bureaucracy and geodae director trying to mess with doldam hospital, rather than the medical aspect itself. As for the side characters, their backstories feel like brief additions just to give the audience some context.

While I understand his background, kang dong-joo's character development was quite slow, it took 12 out of 20 episodes for him to finally see the bigger picture. He needed to be hit by a reality similar to his past to finally wake up, rather than actually learning from his time at doldam or from master kim. It's still enjoyable, but I personally wished the medical side was highlighted more.

ESTOU CURADA !!!

esse bl me curou namoral

quando eu dei play eu não estava esperando algo tão comédia assim
mas quando percebi q era isso eu só aceitei pq senão eu ia odiar mt o duang

e ainda bem q fiz isso pq seria uma pena odiar ele
ele é doidinho mas é uma pessoa mt carinhosa
ele é um querido de vdd mesmo se passando horrores
eu o adoro mt

fora que a dinâmica dele com o qin é perfeitissima !!!!
ele é suuuper um top sub e o qin é super um bottom dom
o duang tem os 4 pneu arriado pro qin
obedece super ele igualzinho um cachorrinho mesmo (pq ele real real gosta MUITO do qin)
e old q o qin adora isso e adora mandar nele

e eu amei q eles sao real perfeitos e parecem um casal mesmo
vivem dando beijinho e cheirinho um no outro, vivem agarrados, dormem juntos, saem juntos, conheceram a família um do outro, viajaram juntos, fazem bastante sexo (as cenas sao bbd), adotaram um cachorro, conversam sempre etc etc
é surreal a química deles de vdd

e aqui funciona perfeitamente o casal não correr risco real de se separar pq eles são do tipo q estão dispostos a conversarem e resolverem qualquer mal entendido ou falta de comunicação pq eles real se gostam mt e não tem nada interferindo esse sentimento

o qin tem a história mais complicada aqui né e eu adorei ele se abrindo pro duang gradativamente conforme os eps iam passando
o duang realmente veio pra somar na vida dele é mt bonito

enfm vou dizer só isso pq se deixar eu poderia falar bastante sobre eles pq a dinâmica e a química desse casal em agradou muiitooooooooo

vou falar outras coisas
▪︎acho que a história seria melhor se desenvolvesse mais os outros personagens também (não os pais, o tempo de tela deles pra mim foi ok)
▪︎ justamente pelo ponto acima eu não curti mt o casal secundário (pulei quase todas as cenas pq além da história deles não ter me prendido eu achei eles meio sem química)
▪︎ também por causa disso o grupo de amigos do duang é mais interessante q o do qin (eles são super engraçados sério)
▪︎a parte do ex é meio pá também meio confusa mas ainda bem q isso não durou mt e nao atrapalhou o casal principal🙏
▪︎isso é mais uma coisa q eu gostaria de ver mas vou falar mesmo assim, acho q seria melhor ainda se o duang fosse autista canon e isso fosse explícito na série (mas talvez seja melhor assim mesmo pq pode ser q não soubessem trabalhar com isso e cagassem tudo né)

é isso não tenho mt oq criticar
é um bl leve pra vc ver e torcer mt pelo casal e ficar vidrado neles e se deliciar com as cenas dos dois juntos
eu gostei muitoooo to mt feliz
serio tinha momentos vendo q eu chegava a sentir oq eles tavam sentindo e derretia de amores junto !

adorei as músicas e gostei do final também com o show da banda ficou bem legal pq normalmente essas cenas de shows ficam meio ruins mas aqui foi tao lehal q fui até ouvir a banda no spotify

recomendo muitíssimo esse !!!

Adorable but too fast-paced

I love this manga so when I found out they made an adaptation I was stoked! Overall, the drama is pretty good! The actors do a fantastic job and fit the characters so well! But I feel like unfortunately the pacing of the show does not do the story justice. Trying to fit six volumes into eight twenty-minute episodes just didn't work very well and to me things ended up feeling a little rushed and just too fast-paced. That being said I still think it was a great show and I did genuinely enjoy it, especially the way they decided to censor the explicit scenes, it was very clever and charming! <3

Duang is a respectful puppy

So much times where I imagine Duang really had a tail and puppy ears, but well if he did it will be shaking uncontrollably every time Qin is around. While Qin is clearly a black cat, but if he had a tail, his tail will gently slap Duang everytime he is around even though he's acting all cold and nonchalant. Boi has been interested early in the plot but just too cool to admit it lmao. The chemistry is AMAZING, although at the start it icks me on how Duang is very cutesy but apparently it's because he's the youngest at home hahah. The stark contrast between his cutesy acting and his serious side also makes it even heart-racing. The story is funny too and I've been giggling throughout the series.

Another thing is that, domundi is REALLY good with bed scenes hahaha it's crazy how good and well crafted it is (they really had a thing on combining the scene timing with the music and it's just UGH chef's kiss). I also love the tension and build up. It's just sooo natural! And the way that Duang is consistent about teasing with the skinskip, but he is VERY respectful with Qin's boundaries and it's just beautiful to see. Qin is moving in a very cat like pace and it's just great to see that despite being silly Duang actually pays attention and respects Qin's consent. He didn't just cross the boundaries and pretend that he's just playing around (with his character I kinda thought he would do that), Duang really takes it step by step, slowly making his way into Qin's heart.

I love Duang's chemistry with his friends but it's just confusing how they keep on appearing out of nowhere on Duang's daily activities hahahahah. Maybe need a better character placement because it makes it unnatural, but hey! The plot is great!

I haven't finished this one yet but it is INCREDIBLE.

Happy Times was a Zhang Yi Mou comedy, something I found to be unexpected from the director of heartbreaking fare. This was a strangely uneven story that required the viewer to accept the unusual setup and just roll with it.

Middle-aged Zhao is determined to marry. Since skinny women aren’t interested in him, he’s turned his sights on plump women in hopes that he will find someone to keep him warm and satisfied. “Big Mom” agrees to marry him though she wants a 50,000 yuan/$7400 wedding to which Zhao agrees. The problem being he is stone cold broke. Friends he has borrowed money from previously are sympathetic, even though this is his 18th attempt at marriage, but don’t have the cash to loan. Big Mom has a blind stepdaughter she treats as a servant and asks Zhao to put her to work at his Happy Times Hotel. The hotel is actually an abandoned bus he and a friend cleaned up in the park to rent out to couples needing privacy. When that financial venture goes awry, he’s forced to manufacture a job for Wu Ying to keep up the illusion he has money so that he can marry her stepmother.

The first thirty minutes were a bit of a slog for me, but picked up when Zhao and Wu Ying ended up forced together. I was afraid they’d go for an inappropriate geezer romance. Thankfully, the duo took on more of a wholesome father-daughter vibe. Though someone needed to buy that girl a robe. Zhao was a good man at heart who bent the truth often in order to try and get ahead. His friends who were also financially challenged and a little peculiar accepted him as he was. The group of lovable losers came to like Wu Ying and did what they could to help her knowing their scam setup would be short lived at best. Big Mama, an expert in consumption, and her overly entitled son, were the annoying villains in this farce. Her selfishness and greed only highlighted Zhao’s desperation for a companion.

This odd, offbeat comedy had its humorous moments and others that fell flat. What was revealed as the story progressed were people capable of genuine kindness and friendship. Zhao and Wu Ying desired the best for each other even if they knew that their lives would be filled with hardship. Happy Times came all too briefly and usually occurred in the presence of loving friends, the gift that requires no wealth. Not one of Zhang Yi Mou’s stronger films, but still enjoyable.

66% treasure

bruh another fucked up drama, 30 episodes were great, then went downhill crazy

SPOILERS


they just kill the kindest soul, most evil characters get redemptions and female lead was acting crazy for 15 episodes, she just broke up with male lead after few days and started running away, then send him message through some shitty pillow and they just reconcile like that? after everything he done pillow worked? I know pregnancy can cause character changes but that shit was 180 degrees

Also - as the child was from sperm bank we are still not sure if that his child or what, as they were hinting to that all drama...
just give us blood check after child is born, as I can respect love for single mother of not your child but if the story progression is pointing to that then it's just cuckolding viewers...

Just frustration left...

Short and Simple

Honestly, I feel like the overall score is a bit high, but for a short drama like this, it fits. If you're looking for a simple pick-me-up show, this could be for you. If you're looking for a new show that has more than a simple love story, then this is not for you.

Pros:
- Pretty good acting
- The whole cast is all visuals
- Good kiss scenes
- Simple chemistry
- Supportive sister and friend
- Friend specified what he meant from the dialogue
- Simple dialogue and some fun scenes
- Music was simple yet lighthearted. Fit pretty well with the scenes

Cons:
- Very short episodes
- Chang In sometimes smiles after dialogue, so it sometimes breaks the illusion/ doesn't fit the dialogue
- Subs had an error with ages, once saying Su Hyeon was 20. Made it confusing when they later said different ages (plus would've been a whole different story if Eun Ho was 15!)
- Not sure if this was a website error, but a part of one episode had no audio for a minute?
- Some beginning scenes were a little lackluster with acting, but later in the story, it got better
- Did I mention very short episodes?

No big actions, but nuances that touches your hearts

This is not your typical polices investigating cases after cases. Main plot is to solve the disappearance of father and daughter duo, but along the way, it shows relationships among senior and junior in the police station, father and daughter after a divorce, neighbors and colleagues and all in the community. It’s such a touching drama yet at the same time, making us keep guessing who are the murderers.

The best part for me is how good Dylan looks without make up, presenting himself bare-faced in current drama scenes where heavy make up are a norm. His micro expressions are so on point that I can’t see Dylan in Ran Fangxu. A totally new respect to this actor for his talent and skills.
