I’m just curious, from the time Kazuto walked in, I thought, what a cutie pie. He is observant, thoughtful, kind—and a darn great chef. He holds and covers emotions well. He’s always methodical. However, I’m starting to think that he’s into Dai, but holding off, because of the Shun situation. His hand shot up, when Dai asked for co-worker options. He appeared anxiously desirous of going. I went Hmmmm, that seems out of character. So, these next episodes will be interesting. Does anyone share that view?

I wondered that, as well! He’s quite handsome.

…And detective work is a team😂

Yes, because we have not explored beyond those great dishes he prepared. Thus far, everything has been external. Gotcha

I still don’t know what “gv” means, but I’m an old lady and it’s OK. What I do believe, is that in 2024, it’s about time everybody be able to live their lives, long as they’re not harming another. Whoever can’t live with it, is THEIR issue.

I don’t get these 5-host shows. Too darn many!

At least the new guy makes his needs known. I like Dai—don’t dislike any of the characters really. Kazuto is a favorite, as well. He has a quiet sex appeal and charm.

Agree with you, MO. Also, Shun is testing and gaming: Calling Dai to come over, laying his head on his lap, but pushing Dai’s hand away. WTF?! As it goes, “you don’t miss the water, until the well runs dry.”

I thought the autopsy was too harsh. Like you, I found the production of great quality. I, too, felt the passion of the actors. Yes, I expected more in the handholding bedroom scene, and there were too many problems for the lead couple. Although “QoT” ended OK, I find that some K-dramas just fizzle out, because of extended episodes. I’ve said it before, 10-12 Episodes are enough for one season; then follow it up with a second season (realizing that a season doesn’t have to be a full year). I tried to go back to rewatch in English—simply horrible! The dubbing cheapened the show, and turned the characters into buffoonery. I find that too often, which is troubling, being on States side, because in other languages, I’m reading and missing expressions and reactions. It elongates the viewing, having to go back to experience the fullness of a scene.

No, S1, with the cheating doctor, who died in the crash, leaving the pregnant nurse.

Obviously, you never worked in a hospital. At times, that’s a real ER, real hospital politics, and real patients you want to punch!

😂Then he played his character well!

Yes, I felt cheated with that one. Perhaps, there’s a realization in DR2.

Sorry, Kobeno1, I have news for you and your oblivious doctor friend (not being mean), I was in healthcare for over 40 years, managing Psych ICU, then later, in other healthcare settings. I encountered doctors and nurses coming to work in manic phases, drugged out on narcotics-sometimes, with cocaine powder on nostrils, toupees turned upside down, dozing off while interviewing patients, some with strong odors of alcohol, and so-on. ALL, and I repeat, ALL were permitted to work; however, us nurses would intervene, at times, to have them sleep it off, in an unused patient area! No, the writers did not take liberties in this show. You opined “It's something no true doctor/hospital would ever allow.” Mr Kobeno1, it occurs everyday, and I’ll guarantee you, you have probably been treated by one. As in the show, doctors are everyday people, with all the flaws available to humanity, and as also seen in the show, many of your top institutions, will endure, to staff that certain doctor, to enlist that renowned team, or to retain that number one status. Those events I shared with you, were in top, medical institutions. I loved Dr Romantic, although I found that title misleading. I recognized those characters, and each actor played them well!…Oh, forgot to mention a top heart surgeon, at this one facility, who suffered hand tremors during procedures, unless he had a drink. They kept his favorite alcoholic beverage in the OR, whenever he had a need, to get him through a surgery.

Being on States side, I’m unfamiliar with the educational system of South Korea. However, I’ve seen several shows with an intense focus—not for just the values of education—but to be the best, number one: “Sky Castle” and “Crash Course in Romance” are two. In those shows, the feverish maneuvering of parents, and the verbal and physical abuse to kids, created suicidal situations and even the firing of teachers. Re: The Teachers Union, I understand their complaints with the scene in “Hagwon.” Sure, clarify a question—if there’s confusion or errors, but Hye-Jin was way out of bounds, I thought. And of course, the male instructor should have been suspended, if not fired for touching her! Around the world, it does send the wrong message, but often times, it appears to be amongst private academies. I didn’t like that scene, but I’m hoping they hook it up later, into something positive. I’m happy that Wi Ha Joon has this romantic lead. Love his acting, and Ahn Pan-Seok’s directing! He seems to work well with a certain group of actors. Looking forward to the other episodes.

OK, Thanks! I’ll wait; not watching the many streaming channels I already have. I’m about 18 episodes into LLTG, busy political weeks. Be well💛

😂Can’t get it. I have Netflix and Viki. It’ll show up on one of them

Trusting🤥🙏🏽..😂❤️

Needing to be rescued from LLTG, I went to “Up Sum,” and liked it! I remain in awe of this young man’s acting abilities. He isolates and develops each character. A joy to watch!

LLTG is a struggle!😩 I’m trying to hang with it, 5 episodes in. I tip out to other shows to make it palatable 😂
