Title Resident Playbook
Another overrated drama has ended. There's no need to go so far with these lousy reviews comparing this one to Hospital Playbook. The proposals are different. What this one really lacked was chemistry. From start to finish, I read the comments from the communities and just thought: wow, this season is really weak to make them have to be acclaiming this. Half of the second quarter of the year has already passed, and none of the releases really impressed. What actually surprised me was the opposite: they all managed to be average to bad. Resident Playbook has all the points I love in its authors' past dramas, except: the bonding effect. At no point did you feel attached to the characters. Truth be told: there were times when I questioned whether this was even realistic. I understand the concept of young residents having a hard time, but the narrative model was so verbose in terms of their maturity. The detached way was made to create a correlation with the younger generation, detached and totally out of sync. But I repeat: medicine is not a profession. that this could exist, and trying to work a drama on this topic, would need at least 24 episodes with more actors gaining attention besides the main ones, the idea is not even remotely bad, but the feeling is that they failed to understand how to create the characters' maturity throughout this first year, and the lack of chemistry only made this more evident.
