drama fake repeat very very repeat scenes doctors 2016

drama fake repeat very very repeat scenes doctors 2016
please not watching
As a drama about trauma and healing there are far too little conversations with psychotherapist and far too much accidental overhearing, eavesdropping, retelling and etc. (there must be some ethical boundaries, that were crossed multiple times?). Please tell the writers that there are other ways to move the plot forward!!!

As for the Depression - it is very ugly, and yes it varies from person to person, but I (personally) just feel from the writing and FL a "a bit depressed" vibes and "it will pass" thinking. Bish, no it won't! Not until you'll take it seriously.
I would have loved if the writers would have digged deeper and looked into darker corners of this illnes

NOT IMPRESSED BY

Park Hyung-Sik
Does he lose weight? I can see his cheek bone, when he smile there's obvious deep wrinkles around his eyes. His baggy cloths, some part he acted childish. He's probably just acting cute, but he's a surgeon, did he forget his actual character that none of surgeon ever act cute? He's mischaracteristic his part. While Park Shin-Hye didn't make a better impression either (why did she flip her hair so much?).

Holding hand scene
Sigh....seriously though. They're not in High School anymore. 2 adults who acted like kindergarten first love, especially when they're both medical doctors who know so much about human anatomy and biology, why should they acted squeamish, petrified than simply shy. Although they both adults (not young anymore) first time in love, their acting was barely.

SYSTEM IN KOREA
I don't understand the system in Korea. Is that true that doctor can get pay cuts easily? A Professor can bully and scream on top of his lung humiliating intern just like that? 2nd ML got no patients because of....(he wasn't in tik-tok?), administer drugs to patient in operating room without knowledge from the anesthesiologist? Is it really hard to find job as a doctor in Korea?

It's a bad directive, not good acting, too much fillers, this drama can be finished by 10 ep top.

Cringe fest

Clearly, the show didn't know whether it was a comedy or a drama. The plot had very serious elements relating to mental health, trauma, and PTSD. And, then we had Jeong Woo rolling in bed and throwing temper tantrums in every episode. If that was supposed to be comedy, it was cringey as hell.

The romance didn't feel very organic. "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" set the standard too high, so everything else with Park Hyung Sik will inevitably be compared to it. The chemistry was just too good. In this drama, it was kind of meh. I wasn't sure why because they did have some cute moments. Maybe because it took them half the show to finally kiss. Maybe because the funny scenes looked stupid and extremely overacted, mostly by Park Hyung Sik. Maybe because their trauma was undermined by immature behavior that was completely unnecessary. If a man acted like Jeong Woo in real life, no amount of good looks would make him attractive to women.

The villain who caused the medical incident was also badly written. His motivations were just so very shallow. He decided to punish Jeong Woo because his mom didn't let the villain see his dad and dad died. So, Jeong Woo, who happened to be his best friend and who did nothing wrong, had to be put through hell and back for the villain to feel vindicated. Crappy reasons, motivation, and extremely lazy writing.

I like Park Hyung Sik and I was looking forward to this drama, but it left me extremely disappointed. I am going to take a break from him and watch something else for a while.

love this drama♥

I really liked the drama, let's start with the perfect casting of the cast, it seems that Park Hyung sik just played his real life (you can see in fan meetings and interviews that this is his mindset) seriousness and maturity alongside childishness (they say that in every mature person, there is also a little child). The drama deals with healing and recovery, competition for achievements and success alongside failure and disappointment. friendship, and support. Insights that you get after crises (financial and mental), satisfaction in the face of fulfillment... a race for achievements in life where along the way you forget to enjoy the small things (sunset, going for a walk, enjoying nature from the blossoms and even eating ice cream) and the mental price that you pay because of the race for life. It is true that there are some childish scenes (not compatible with the model of a doctor) but they fit so well against the very sensitive subject of mental exhaustion and depression. I totally recommend watching the drama and examining it in depth and not superficially

Comedy and drama wrapped up in one

I've been crital of Park Shin-hye's acting in previous series (Memories of Alhambra and The Heirs), but she was excellent in Doctor Slump, both in comical and dramatic scenes. She looked so beautiful, too! There was great chemistry between her and Park hyung-sik. His comedy scenes were hilarious; he has good timing. Good comical scenes in every episode. I enjoyed Yoon Park' charactor, good part for him. The whole cast did great.
Good storyline, handling a serious theme well.

Truly gives 따뜻한 feeling - don't miss this show

When I started watching this show, my expectations were meager. It had already finished airing and it had some mixed reviews. But since my expectations were low I could enjoy the show even better, because it took me by surprise.
* The writers conveyed a vital life lesson and in today's struggles, it instilled a very beautiful message.
* The character development was wonderfully done and I could feel that I also grew with the characters.
* The second leads did an incredible job and it was really interesting to watch them on screen.
* The best part of the show was the comedy. It truly lightened the show in the right way, without decreasing the intensity and the value of the message they were trying to put forth.
* Excellent character writing for the supporting cast. They were not some unnecessary prop in the show.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the show and the ride they took us, had all the right emotions mixed in. Commendable effort by the whole team.

For the people who are reading this before starting the show, do keep an open mind and you will have a wonderful time!

Their position is going down after being on the top and now they are on the very bottom in their life. That's where their journey begins to build up their reputation and find the culprit by searching the proof.

*There are a lot of blood scenes during the operation so make sure you are not afraid of blood.

Had potential to become something better

At the first part of the story it had good storyline. The mystery and tension was good but it was resolved all too quickly. it felt as though the writer was trying to write a good mystery and then was like "lets change the genre!". It had good potential as a mystery with romance as the sub genre. To be honest with you it was good but it would be better if the mystery wasn't resolved at the third episode. I only watched this because my husband was in it but I must say it was not worth the hype.

Not sure, if I should like it

I actually like both actors (Memories of the Alhambra and hapiness are great series), but this drama is just a bit over the top, silly, illogical and boring at the same time. What I like the most is the second lead couple in this series. I'll watch it little by little, so I'll finish it. It's a shame actually, I was looking forward to both of them.**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

A comfort drama

I like this series not the best drama but it gives comfort. Two broken people in the past finds healing into each other, they both are healing by getting to know each other and understand each feeling until they develop and find love in each other.
I find this drama a bit funny especially the family of Nam Ha Neul I like their family it cute and funny, their reactions makes it even more funnier.
I can see a matured Min hyuk (Strong Woman Da Bong So) Park Hyun Sik"s acting here is like his character in that drama, very jolly, funny and confident.
I also like the story of the second leads Dae Young and Hong Ran they have a second chance in finding true love. They both have children in their past but still managed to be together inspite of it.
Park Shin Hye is very good in this type of genre she is excellent in drama and very funny too. She did a superb job in this series.
Overall i like this drama it talks about healing in the past pain, learn to overcome it. It gives a comforting feeling. I like how it ends it leaves a smile on my face.

A cute romance between two people in rock bottom

I thought this was a particularly nice rom-com to watch. There wasn't much that I hated/ would improve about it. I loved the pretty realistic setbacks the two main characters experience to bring them to the worst slump of their life. I love the emphasis the show made on mental health, friendships and family values. The character's struggles and life experiences seemed very relatable and I loved the story all the more for that.
I could see why this drama might seem a little plain for some as the romance was very calm and the 'enemies to lovers' part that they signed up for was immediatley resolved. There were no dramatic scenes or villans and no romantic scenes that made me want to scream and bury my head in a pillow.
The scenes with the family, the second couple and the comedy in the drama was also very well done! Some of the comedy scenes really got me smiling from ear to ear and of course park hyung sik and park shin hye acted so well in their roles!

Overall a really nice comfort watch, just what you need to get over your drama watching slump :P
