- Well written script on medical drama
- Female lead do not have positive impression of male lead at first, but recognise the latter’s medical talents
- Stories / lessons in the stories were delivered non-cringey-ly
- Both stories also have 1 similar arc on following procedure to the T vs bending it if the situation is urgent enough. It was the incident that made female lead respect the male lead more in respective stories. It was also the incident where the male lead got penalised for the recklessness despite successfully saving the patient. Because the lesson here is not on saving lives at all cost, it’s about building the accountability of the lives that are on the doctor’s hands.

Key difference
The doctors in Hippocratic Crush has more specialisation e.g. male lead is neurosurgeon, female lead is cardiologist, and many others key specialists. The Heart focused more on…well heart e.g. cardiologist, physician, and post ICU care doctors in the Heart Centre. This impacts the types of cases they come across.

The Heart also seem to centered more on patient stories (I watched Hippocratic Crush long ago, memory slightly fuzzy)

-Both have 3 main cast which does not contain triangle relationship
- Both have mentor-mentee dynamic, as one of the main cast is a more senior doctor and also their superior
- The stories focus on patients
- The cases in this show are critical. The hospital in Dr. Romantic is located in an accident prone area, the hospital in The Heart is a specialised that deal with patients that have heart issues which are often time sensitive and critical.
- The romance part is slight in both stories.
- The scene setup looks real in both stories. Like I can believe they are hospitals that have been around for ages with how “old” they look.
- Both stories showcase nurses too.
