More than just a medical drama - life, death, happiness, sorrow, love, friendship and more

I'm glad I have finally watched this drama. I was hesitant at first because there are 2 seasons for this drama and I haven't watched medical dramas for a while now. I feel like it's too long however I didn't regret that I invested watching this. At the time of writing, I haven't watched Hospital Playlist 2 yet and I am excited on what kind of memories and experiences will the professors, residents, interns and patients will encounter. The 1st season ended with a lot of cliffhangers.

There are lots of things that I love about this drama. Let me start with the storyline. First of, the story isn't as complicated as most medical dramas. You've get pieces of stories from here and there which will help you see that beautiful image it is trying to create. I love how the writers try to make you feel like you know what will happen but then surprise you with something unexpected. And the best part is it surpasses your expectations everytime. Well played really.

Next thing I love is the characters. There's a LOOOOOT of characters in this drama from the medical staff, patients, and other characters coming in and out every episode. It's really hard to memorize their names however I definitely remember their stories. I was expecting that some of the characters will have shallow stories but I was wrong. Most of the characters have depths of their own and even the patients which is why I think this drama is very emotional. It will definitely make you laugh and cry while watching it. It personally made me reflect about my life and all the emotions I have. The friendship of Mido and Falasol was very dreamy but is definitely the kind of friendship you should experience at least once in your life. One of the charms of this drama is the realistic storyline that is very relatable and since the writer also made sure you know most of the characters, it's easier to understand why they did this, what made them to do that. In short, you understand where the characters are coming from. Super amazing for the casts to really portray their characters and the chemistry among themselves. I can say that the story was given the right justice thanks to the great acting of the casts.

Last but not the least, who would've easily forget the OSTs in this drama. There's just so much feels. I am not sure if the songs were from the late 90's or early 2000's and for sure for Koreans it must've felt nostalgic watching the show and hearing those songs. For me though, it made me really emotional a lot of times. I searched the songs right away and was even singing it along with them while I repeat their band scenes.

I highly recommend this drama. Overall, aside from the tearful scenes I have seen, it's a very feel good drama. I felt like this actually have a healing effect on me. Please do watch this if you have the time.
