Don't know why you are wasting your precious time crticising a minutely perfect and fully sane drama. Lol! Let…
Ahah! No problem, I don't watch it. ;-) It was still usefull to take some notes. It's not wasted time. Far from this. It helped me a lot ! ;-) And anyway, it could be usefull too for other people who feel something is wrong but don't know what. "Hooo, the dialogues, yeah, it's why I was confused". It's a real case, someone really asked this.
If you like it, then... like it. ^^ Why my opinion and analys should bother you ?
I watched episode 1. So, almost nothing missing from season 1. Except a good line. The SFL said "we are a good team" in season 1, and here just "we are a good couple". I prefer the original line, it fit more the parody of this kind of situation.

It's great, they added also korean subtitles when people speak in english. Looking back, I don't understand why they didn't do that during season 1, it closed korean market a bit. I watched quickly too, nothing important is missing, it look like the ending is different a little. They managed to better introduce season 2 content. Overall, with season 1 + season 2 together, they managed to make a real drama. I didn't watched it yet, as I m on something else. But it should be an enjoyable watching.
As I'm agree with the message of your article, some of the dramas you take as examples are really the worst ones about laughing. On me, they make the opposite effect, boring and annoying. Forced comedy, slapstick, over-the-top. People screaming, false-crying, or suddenly react out of context, hurting my ears, eyes and intelligence. Atrocious. Nightmare. Ulcer. Even when I was child, this couldn't make me laugh.
So here, it's not medecine, it's more like a disease.
For a good laugh, I need situational comedy, parody, tasty dialogs, or smart character design. Let's take as examples : first episodes of "I'm not a robot", first meeting scene of "Crash landing on you". Or the whole drama "Psychopath diary", or "Feel good to die". It's go well with "Incarnation of money" too, as dark comedy and derision. Or many others dramas that make laugh with the story and the personnality of the character. "Empress Ki", first episodes with the coward ML.

I've not watched yet. But if episode 1-3 are season 1 re-edited, we shouldn't loose content ? Season 1 was 10 episodes with 10-15 min duration. So, it should be well edited in 3x45 min episodes ?
I didn't watched all the dramas. Sure thing, n°1 : The Penthouse ! My 3 words about that : Makjang on steroids. A masterpiece, if you know it's also sometimes a parody of Makjangs, full of dark-comedy.
Then Sisyphus. Mr Queen was funny, during 2/3 of the show. LUCA quite intense at start and last episodes. Cheat On Me, If You Can was watchable but not a favorite.
Finaly I dropped at the end of episode 4... It's more a slow drama with long romance scenes. Many voice-over with the same pop music. I don't understand because the drama set-up the emotion quite fast and good, but then insist loudly, with repetitive scenes. Finaly, the emotion we got is canceled because these loud, boring fillers like. And about SF or fantasy, it didn't create thrills or goosepump. Overall, it look like a sitcom from 90's.
Can't get past the second episode even after I came back three times- don't understand where the plot is going.…
I reached episode 6. So difficult it was. And it's even more boring than first 2 episodes. You don't understand where the plot is going because there is no plot. Boring scenes, followed by a flashback festival of the previous boring scene. Forced, dull , and not funny comedy. Cheesy and useless stuff. It's a big nothing.
End of episode 2. Some bad reviews say "confusing, too fast". I would like so much to watch this so called confusing and fast-paced SF plot. But now, after 2h30 of content, almost NOTHING happened !! IT'S-JUST-DAMN-BORING. Maybe I was just on a highway, watching kairos ? So, after that, it's difficult to get around by bike?
Gosh, this first episode was soooooo long and boring. I think we got not only the idea but also the feeling quite fast. The girl is sad about her ex-boyfriend. Past this point, it's just make it louder or filler. And then, nothing started yet. Not even something about SF concept as a cliffhanger at the end of the episode. I feel like I fall on these random overestimated dramas. Taiwan naive and childish acting don't help. I already know that, hopefully.
Historian of MDL is back! (you!) ;-) I will take a look at "writing articles", "sageuk" and "drama about drama". For this last one, it's a bit short, there is so more dramas with amazing real stories behind.
So, we will never see how deep was the attachment of the doctor to the little girl. The very little emotion that we could have felt is massacred. The doctor goes to the church to pray and what does he do from the point of view of the drama? blah blah blah. Zero emotions and no implication of his state of mind in relation to a reality. A reality that we were supposed to perceive and watch, not told. Even worse: A scene cut into 3 flashbacks (admittedly a good idea in this respect). But what is in it? More blah blah blah. Never any implication. Finally, all the depth is definitely destroyed by turning it into a comedy. Well, let's say comedy that falls flat, filled with unbearable fake tears. Sung Dong Il saves himself, while he helplessly witnesses his partner's abominable as well as deafening acting. And more blah blah blah about a situation never shown. All problems here are not even because it's slice of life.
End of episode 1. Pfuuu. Either I continue to watch this drama to dismantle all the blunders, as a personal education. Or I stop this torture now.
The scenes with people talking about people who aren't there keep raining down. Or talking about anything else. It's horribly poorly written. Timecode: 01:04:30. This scene for example. It's insane, barely believable from a writer who has written half a dozen dramas. We are supposed to see and accept the situations, to be confronted with the reality of the events, not to be subjected to such verbiage. No interest, whether it's for the understanding (null), the intensity (null), the quality of the dialogue (null), the information (instantly forgotten) or the emotion transmitted (null). Actors do what they can, I can't blame them... 2 min 15 of televisual nonsense leading to direct amnesia. To be put straight in the garbage.
As for the comedy scenes: everything falls flat. Bravo, to manage to make scenes of forced comedy without resorting to splastick, it is a feat!
I can't believe it : they use the same technique than Signal for scenes of the past. Compressing the picture, so there is no more normal ratio about size and larger. This way of rendering destroy expressions of faces and is the worst technique to use. Ugly, counter-productive, unreadable, It's quite a self destruction! The director or the guy doing the editing is mad. Is there a psychiatrist among all this bunch of doctors ?!
Heavy dialogs about some others people not in the room, with citation of their name. It make me realize how it's confusing and it give not to the audience a way to catch the situation or characters, while being boring, and doing a bad scene. I note this, usefull information! And there is a lot of dialogs like that, so much.
No plot, random situations, boring things already watched 100x in others medical dramas, and better done. No plot is probably the way is this genre, I guess. I even have difficulty to keep my concentration and read subtitles.
Of course, it's a classical exposition episode, so we have to see all characters, and it don't help with so much characters, and it become a mess. I suppose it get better later, and some situations evolve, but I'm not sure to reach this point.
We watch the life of these people, but I don't care about their boring life. Maybe I could be more into it, with a more documentary tone, but still, nothing interesting to catch us in the "story". Well, except a guy with dark vador helmet. Then doing operation with helmet. It's pushing the joke too far, is it really serious about medecine ?!!
Dialogs are so dull. All sound fake, even with so many good actors, and only Kim Hae Sook shine. Few emotionals scenes fail, with mother performing forced crying. Ouch, my ears! Is this thing going somewhere ?
In case I could still have doubts about that : slice of life are definitively not my thing. If I continue to force myself to watch this, I'll maybe discover a cultissim drama more boring than Goblin.
Here end this endless complaint about this 45min of drama. ^^ Key word: boring. :-)
I watch what follow and hope for an striking event able to make the show... Yes, I insist! I'm like that! Ready to suffer if there is some truth to know! (◑‿◐)

It deserve at least 2/10 !
Don't be so hard.

But about writers, even best : Empress Ki and Giant writers !!!
So big actors in the cast.
