Doctor Slump

I really enjoyed this up until episode 8. Two people who are qualified and were practicing doctors must surely be in their mid to late twenties and mature. In episode 8 they are like lovesick young teenagers. I'm not suggesting they should fall into bed because this is not Kdramas way but it could be a more realistic age appropriate relationship.

On the plus side the two leads are very good. I have liked PSH since Heirs and it's great to see her back in a drama since marrying and having her baby. Park Hyung-Sik is good in this part and they do have nice chemistry. I'll watch it to the end with the hope that it becomes good again!

It's been a while since we had A list stars in a rom com. So it's wonderful to have the 2 pretty Parks back from thriller genre to this type of series. And these 2 are in their element here. Sparkling chemistry that is always pleasant never painful. Romantic comedy with lots of comedy.

The story starts off involving with both their respective career crises. She with a nasty boss and he with a malpractice suit. Immediately they get our sympathies. Funny flashbacks of them as students. And luckily they are still young enough to play themselves as teens. Their also is her funny family that is always in their business headed by Jang Hye Jin of CLOY and Parasite. The humour is spontaneous and laugh out loud funny. And it is touching the way they help each other.

One faults is they seem to encourage drinking alcohol to feel better. Quite wrong for people on meds for psychiatric problems. Hope it wasn't product placement by the alcohol industry.

The issues with his friends are quite realistic.

Recently K rom coms have lacked either a really funny story or uniformly top notch casting. This is a welcome return back to the funny and well cast shows of the past. Good thing no silly love triangles and other done to death cliches. Its mostly enjoyable. The last few episodes ran out of steam. Should have ended earlier.

I am addicted to this kdrama!!!! I just love it sooo sooo much!! The chemistry between park hyunk sik and park shin hye is amazing. They portrait emotions really well. And the humor in this drama is in top level. Everyone should watch this kdrama. Its superb for gettting weekend hype. I think this drama need more recognition. I just cant wait for next epis. Giving all the stars for rating becuz it really deserves it!!!! Glad to see park shin hye my fav actress after a long time break. She looks exactly the same like in the heirs. She didnt age at all after having a baby also. Looking forward for her next dramas also. Park hyunk sik is also very cute in the drama. I just love him soooo sooo much. I am really sure this drama will be a hit!

I had 9 stars worth of interest in Dr. Slump until this weekend, when episodes 7 & 8 were aired by Netflix USA. Ouch. The Romance vector is implausibly slow in that the female lead had already confessed to "quasi-romantically liking" "Dr. Rooftop" (they've held hands on a windswept beach and had a multitude of emotional confessions) yet in episode 8 she is suddenly bizarrely retro-ambivalent. Seriously, she's pushing 30, yet she seems to equate handholding to sexual intimacy. (Like she's spent the last 20 years ain a convent.) Also whenever any of the female actors get drunk, which happens way too often in eps. 7 and 8, they often become outrageously physically abusive to male characters. I find those drunken party scenes downright strange, and the level of acting in them falls between unconvincing and atrocious.

Didn't expect that this series would be so good!!!! It tackles mental health, depression, which are a sensitive topic to some especially here in our country. Getting checked by a psychiatrist doesn't mean that you are crazy.

Park ShinHye and Park Hyung Sik's chemistry is unexpected. But I feel giddy every time they have their "moment". You can feel their emotions and feelings through their gaze and they don't need to speak to tell what they are feeling. They are both really good artists.

Recommending this series to everyone! My husband who is not so with kdramas liked it also! We watched 8 episodes in 1 sitting! Hehe. We were so hooked!
