you just need to focus while watching this drama.
you just need to focus while watching this drama. maybe people are a little confused because of the many main characters and many people around the main character, you have to memorize the names of many characters, because this is a drama about medicine, you will also find foreign terms, I think that's why people get confused and unfocused. but once you focus on every scene and read every translation correctly, you will find deep meaning and find extraordinary experiences while watching this drama. especially about their friendship, their friendship was really envious and very meaningful. You will also reminisce when watching this drama. very highly recommendedEsta resenha foi útil para você?
Fundamentally, it’s a show about friendship that continues strong after two decades, but it also encapsulates the tough work those in the medical field have to go through daily as well as the pain of the patients and their family members when they have to face a difficult obstacle in their lives, which is to battle an illness. I have watched just a few Korean medical dramas, but because of the genre difference, I was for the first time in Hospital Playlist, rewarded with the opportunity to see for myself just how tough their job is, which other medical dramas seemed to fail to strike it in me. Doctors don’t just study for years and then land themselves in a supposedly good paying job. They don’t just sit there and prescribe each passing patient a random medicine and call it a day. For me, that’s what I’ve always known, but I’ve never really thought much of it and just brushed it off. But Hospital Playlist has excellently portrayed the hectic life of the medical field that made me reconsider my so-called apparent appreciation for those in the medical field. Watching them drop everything they’re doing — be it any meal they’re eating or any destination they’re travelling to — and without hesitation return back to the hospital was something very commendable, because I couldn’t imagine how many times they had to do it and how many plans they had to forgo just for perhaps the smallest malfunction that may not even require immediate attention. But then they would, with patience, return back to their personal lives like it wasn’t anything big. This was what I was rewarded with — the deepest gratitude I could ever have for you doctors, surgeons, nurses, etc. I truly cannot imagine the countless amount of sacrifices made and I’m forever grateful for it.
Of course, this whole fat paragraph I had just written wouldn’t be possible for the actors who have excellently portrayed their respective characters. Our main 5 was amazing and I don’t think anyone else could have played their roles better than they themselves. Fun fact: many of the casts are also theatre actors, and for Jeon Mido who plays Songhwa (one of the main 5), it’s her very first major television role other than 1 or 2 super minor ones and she seriously slayed it! I also want to commend the side characters who did an equally fantastic job. There were many touching moments in the show that rendered me a few drops of tears, but there was one particular scene that truly broke me. It was when Cho Yihyun who plays a female medical student Jang Yunbok, tells Songhwa ‘I miss my mother so much’ and then breaks down in her arms. I wasn’t awe-struck by her acting initially because her roles didn’t seem to have any proper room to truly showcase her skills, but that one line brought out some kind of pain in me I didn’t think I would have had. In that split-second, I suddenly missed my mother more than ever, even though she was just in the room next door sleeping. What I wanted to say is...every actor in Hospital Playlist is deserving of a proper recognition because they have successfully brought the script to life, in a very interesting and enjoyable way, and that’s what makes the show a success.
Hospital Playlist isn’t just a television series. It’s an eye-opener to the daily struggles of different parties, it’s a recipe to everlasting friendship and it’s a form of enlightenment to you, that there is beauty in this world, in small ways that has the potential to amount to a lot when you slowly build it up.

REALISTIC MEDICINE BUT MORE REALISTIC CHARACTERS
This is one of the best Kdramas i have ever watched.Each and every character is special and has a variety of traits that make him unique. Even some bad traits are presented with humor but also with respect and they make you fell in love with flawed characters *cause no one is perfect*
This show will make you laugh and cry at the same time. The friendship between the five lead characters is one of the best i have seen and the chemistry is undeniable.
Also the love stories are super cute; we have friends to lovers, bestfriend's sister to lover and workplace romance.
If you like medical dramas you will love it, but even if you are not into them this show will make you fell in love with a new genre.
I recommended 100%
I look forward for season 2

Unique
You know....after watching a lot of overly dramatic and crazy romantic dramas it was a huge transition for me when I started this drama. I didn't know what all the hype was about when watching this drama. In the beginning it might be a little slow but as I kept going and going it was honestly worth watching. I loved how these doctors aren't going through "exaggerated" points in their lives. It's more realistic and everyone can honestly understand what they are going through. Whether they connect with the patients or one of the 5 main doctors. Honestly it is an amazing drama. It is hilarious and it's one of a kind in my book. If you are considering watching it I think you should be open minded and give it a chance to open up to you.Can't wait for season 2 :)

What is so enjoyable about this drama is the rollercoaster of emotions the viewer experience in each episode. You experience laughter, sadness, empathy, curiosity, hopelessness and many other emotions while watching a single 90 minute episode. And you know what tops it all off, at the end of each episode, the 5 friends come together to play a song as a band as if to rewind themselves + the viewers what they all went through during the episode. The songs at the end of each episode really wraps up everything together and the song title represents the episode.
Story/Plot
The story is about 5 friends experiences while working in a busy hospital. Each lead is a professor/expert in their respective field and the plot revolves around how they tackle medical and lifes problems they come to face. This is a slice of life/ family drama. There are no villians, hidden political schemes or back-stabbing, etc. It is simply people and life. A perfect drama to just sit down and let the stories take you.
Acting/Cast/Characters
I could write a 10 page report on the Main Characters as the viewer is exposed to so much backstory and details. Nearly half the supporting casts has a backstory and even the cameo patients all have their own stories. Each character has their own story/goal and what they are trying to achieve. I tried to write a summary, but I just couldn't as I have so much I want to say, so in conclusion; watch the drama to learn about the characters. The leads are top-notch casts and their acting are superb. Two-thumbs up from me!
Music
Music plays a big role in this drama. Not only do the 5 friends play a song as a band near the end of each episode, but the songs also allows the viewer to reoganise their emotions and thoughts. Furthermore, the background OSTs during certain scenes really fit the story/scenes perfectly.
Rewatch Value
I will definitely rewatch this. I am going back to the start as I am writing this because of what occured in the final episode, just to experience it again. I am sure many of us will be too.
Why I gave the drama my current rating? (10)
The drama is great at showing what it wants to show compacted into 90 minute episodes. I feel like there was no wasted time or boring parts in the drama. The drama's production was very high quality and well worth the weekly wait of 1 episode per week. Did not regret following this drama for 12 weeks! Lastly, there is a reason why this drama is rated so highly on different sites, so give it a go yourself! Confident in saying this is one of top 5 dramas in my life and will highly recommend this to anyone. I cried so much in the final episode and it was so heartwarming.

Medical Drama That's Not Really Medical
When you read the title and the characters, you would get the impression that it would be a medical drama. But to me, this drama doesn't feel like a medical drama at all.Yes, 90% of the scenes were in hospital. Yes, there were doctors and patients. Yes, they used many medical terms. Yes, there were diseases, illness, deaths. However, the main focus was not medical matter. Maybe because it was slice of life type of drama.
What I like about the drama? All of them.
Acting wise. The actors and actresses did really well to deliver their characters perfectly. They are perfect match for their own characters. The chemistry and relationship between characters are so great. The dialogues and banters between them were so great and felt natural.
Plot wise. The main focus was for the main roles' life stories, of course. But, the other stories were so great too.. Each of the patients' cases was so on point and unique. They complimented the main roles' characters and main stories.. Even though some of them were not really interesting (I skipped some of them when I re-watched it), but the other ones were so great and touching.
Soundtrack wise. You can say that this is kind of a musical drama somehow. Of course, the title already said it all. They have the best soundtracks. I'm so impressed with the casts because they worked really hard to play the musical instruments and sing the songs. They learned them diligently, and some of them learned them from zero. Even though the songs are old songs, I like almost all of them. It wouldn't be surprising when they win the best soundtrack of the year.
Plot twist. This drama broke clichés in drama history. First, while other dramas are about struggling to gain power, this drama was about giving away power. Second, there were many unexpected plot twists about the characters. When you thought that "ah, it would be the case" and the next thing you knew it was actually the opposite of it. Some of them are funny and some of them are heartfelt. Really unexpected but somehow satisfying.
Love lines. Every main roles deserves their own story lines. Hopefully, every one of them will have a happy ending and happy relationship in Season 2.
In conclusion, this drama is not a medical drama. (To me, the best medical drama is still Dr. Romantic, and yes, both of them have Yoo Yeon Seok as the lead, lol). But, this is one of the best drama ever for me. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me feel. Even though there were so many substories, it didn't feel boring to me.
This drama deserves every award they got, the hypes, the high ratings, the compliments and of course, Season 2. Personnally, I can't wait for Season 2. Hopefully, it will be as great as the first season.

Must watch show
It definitely became one of my favorites, the first episode did not seem so good to me so I drop it but after I decided to give it another chance and I got a surprise, I finished it in 2 days and I really loved it, the story was perfect and the love stories too they took their time to fall in love, it was not the typical kdrama that the second they see each other they already say "I love you" I really loved the stories and it show you the truth of what happens in a hospital, the characters were incredible ♥ ️ the songs goes so well with the history and the chemistry between everyone shows. I can't wait for season 2 ♥ ️Esta resenha foi útil para você?

A perfect slice of life!! Lovely drama!!
I totally love this drama, the story is so good and original in its realism, without the unnecessary drama of some other series. Completely love the medical stories, albeit they were sometime heartbreaking.Story:
It was a great story focused on the life of 5 doctor friends, who've been there for each other so much that they are essentially family to each other. I loved the interactions they had when together and how each one has their own style when dealing with patients and other medical professionals and staff. The medical stories were great, so well explained that a non-medical professional could easily follow it and so greatly immersed in the overall plot that was so well planned.
Now, regarding the love stories, it was fascinating how they were developed, from the get go we know Dr. Jang Gyeo Wool has a big crush on one of the big 5 (Dr. Ahn Jung Won), who is less than impressed with her people and empathy skills. She then proceeds to slowly change in the course of this first season and continue to grow as a doctor. On the other hand, we have Dr. Chae Song Hwa, which I will admit, at first I thought that Dr. Kim Jun Wan had a thing for her, but as the show keeps developing, we can see he always saw her as a friend, unlike the other 2 guys of the group, Dr. Lee Ik Jun and Dr. Yang Suk Hyung. In this case Song Hwa had already rejected Suk Hyung, and Ik Jun to not hurt his friend further didn't confess, but now as he divorces his cheating ex wife, finds himself falling again for Song Hwa, and now he cannot avoid confessing. It turns out that she already has a someone crushing on her, her resident Dr Ahn Chi Hong, whom she is at first unaware of his feelings and later on has to deal with him. I find very interesting how the relationship of Jun Wan and Lee Ik Sun will develop with her out of the country for years on her master's degree in the UK, hopefully they will not break up. I am also eating too see what Suk Hyung ex-wife wants with him and why he says he feels apologetic towards her, I honestly hope that at the end Dr. Chu Min Ha finds someone deserving of her, I think she is a great character that deserves someone who appreciates what she can offer. As anyone can see the relationships are complicated, but they get very well developed and one can totally see how they go forward. I am waiting impatiently for the second season.
Acting/Cast:
Great acting from all the main and secondary cast, even the guest actors were great. All the dramatic scenes were very well developed and managed to transmit the feelings that they must. I think that when a drama can make you cry watching it, it is a great one and a sign of amazing acting ability by the actors. They all show different feelings and do not remain static (like Jun Wan being tsundere all the time, he sometimes acts cute and silly), this shows amazing acting ability and allows the audience to see how far the actors can go.
Music:
So pretty and the message that they convey great for the scenes and episodes where they are used. The Ost consists of a lot of different songs, which I realize are oldies in South Korea, but are so good to the ear as they are not the typical K-pop songs we are used to now.
Rewatch Value:
Very High, I continue watching it because I love it so much.

Doctors risk their own health to save ours
I couldn't pull myself to watch the final episode because I didn't want it to end.The most beautiful part of this drama is the beautiful relationships between the doctors and patients and also between the 5 doctors. Every episode you'll guarantee to cry because of the sacrifices doctors are willing to make for their patients and because of the pain that patient's loved ones go through when they see the patients die. However, you'll guarantee to laugh as well because of the doctors' quirky personalities and friendship.
When I watched the first episode, I wasn't ready for so much sadness so I thought I couldn't keep watching it but when I watched the second episode, I became so addicted because of the doctors and I became very curious of what a doctor's day to day life is.
After watching this drama, I knew how important looking after your loved ones and yourself is. We need to protect ourselves from the virus in order to protect our doctors that risk their own health that fight everyday to save ours.

Just watch it!
If you haven't been watching this drama already, it is probably because you haven't witnessed the magic that comes about when Lee Woo Jung and Shin PD work together. This season's last episode came out today and so I thought a review was in order. Don't worry, no spoilers :) (I hope...)Let's start with the story. There is something so refreshing about this drama compared to all the other ones out right now. At first, I couldn't quite put my finger on it but now I can. Like their other works, this masterpiece is normal? There is no supernatural, no major drama or crazy accidents that usually appear in medical dramas. There was no real enemy. There is no exaggeration. It is simply the story and relationships (romance or not) of five very charming 40-year olds and their playlist through life. The humor did kill my stomach multiple times. There are just so many golden moments that highlight their dynamic.
The cast...the talent and hidden gems in this work cannot be rated. They were perfect. I can't imagine anyone else playing their respected roles. You can tell they prepared hard and well for this. They are all respected in the industry with many works under their belts. I always forget they are actually actors and not actual doctors going about their lives. Also, just to let your mind be blown a little more...their band? They are actually playing :) Such a talented group with this indescribable dynamic.
Next are the amazing Lee Woo Jung and Shin PD. Their works are a constant guessing game. I say that in the best way possible. It is a thrill when watching. They give you the hints and pieces slowly. You really grow to appreciate the genius behind the writing and it always amazes me whenever I see the parallels in scenes or just how they set something up. Their works are always refreshing and great pieces that may not drift you to a fantasy world but make you enjoy your current one. I always end up seeing a version of myself or an awesome group of friends that I would love to hang out with one day. The best part is you can't guess anything until it happens. Replay people understand :)
When we talk about music, it has to start with the band music huh. In almost every episode, we see the band play a song that usually wraps up the episode. The songs are chosen to fit the contents of the episode and are a pleasure to the ears. I get blown away by the cast's dedication and willingness to practice. The better news? I hear they are actually debuting. The OST itself is amazing and filled with such talented voices. I have been listening to it religiously since release. I am currently too while writing this :)
Rewatch value?! I have been rewatching it to gear up for the final episode and even just while waiting for the other episodes to come out. I also see myself coming back to the series so for me it's high. The series hasn't even ended yet and I have already rewatched it several times!
The only downside to this is there are only 12 episodes that means one was released a week. The pain of waiting ;-; But I did it anyway. I do this a lot for anime but almost never for dramas. To give you an idea, the only other one I remember doing this for is Nobody Knows and that had two episodes a week. I didn't really mind waiting though. Don't get me wrong it was painful but the quality of each episode made it worth it so I didn't mind. The good news is this is getting a season 2 soo :) Hopefully, if you guys watch it and give it some love, a season 3!?
I would say, if you are interested, give it a try. If it isn't for you, then move on. BUT if you liked Replay or just want something light to land on after some intensely long drama, this could be the one. I came for the amazing Lee Woo Jung and Shin PD but stayed for everything. This is actually one of my favorite of all time! I think I tend to review popular ones or ones I liked. This is the later. Well, I am going to go refresh Netlfix for the millionth time and hope the episode is out while crying about my empty life after it is over. (update: I finished ;-; )
Also...just wanted to put it out there....Ikjun is my favorite character in the Kdrama universe..I think. 0-0 WOW I didn't even have one before this! Well, why are you still here? Go watch it? Maybe? No pressure.
