Doctor Slump (2024)

A comfort drama

I like this series not the best drama but it gives comfort. Two broken people in the past finds healing into each other, they both are healing by getting to know each other and understand each feeling until they develop and find love in each other.
I find this drama a bit funny especially the family of Nam Ha Neul I like their family it cute and funny, their reactions makes it even more funnier.
I can see a matured Min hyuk (Strong Woman Da Bong So) Park Hyun Sik"s acting here is like his character in that drama, very jolly, funny and confident.
I also like the story of the second leads Dae Young and Hong Ran they have a second chance in finding true love. They both have children in their past but still managed to be together inspite of it.
Park Shin Hye is very good in this type of genre she is excellent in drama and very funny too. She did a superb job in this series.
Overall i like this drama it talks about healing in the past pain, learn to overcome it. It gives a comforting feeling. I like how it ends it leaves a smile on my face.

A cute romance between two people in rock bottom

I thought this was a particularly nice rom-com to watch. There wasn't much that I hated/ would improve about it. I loved the pretty realistic setbacks the two main characters experience to bring them to the worst slump of their life. I love the emphasis the show made on mental health, friendships and family values. The character's struggles and life experiences seemed very relatable and I loved the story all the more for that.
I could see why this drama might seem a little plain for some as the romance was very calm and the 'enemies to lovers' part that they signed up for was immediatley resolved. There were no dramatic scenes or villans and no romantic scenes that made me want to scream and bury my head in a pillow.
The scenes with the family, the second couple and the comedy in the drama was also very well done! Some of the comedy scenes really got me smiling from ear to ear and of course park hyung sik and park shin hye acted so well in their roles!

Overall a really nice comfort watch, just what you need to get over your drama watching slump :P

Bom

Comecei exclusivamente por causa do Park Hyung Sik, amo esse ator! Mas o drama é mediano, teve duas cenas específicas que eu ri muito, foram realmente bem engraçadas (a Nam Ha Neul escondida no banheiro e a parte dos bff médicos brigando).
Em relação, a doença retratada por parte da Ha Neul, depressão, não me pareceu muito realístico, achei que trataram de maneira meio banal, mesmo tendo dado muita ênfase. Por parte do Jeong Woo, do trauma, me pareceu melhor retratado, mas ainda assim achei superficial. Como assisti Daily Dose of Sunshine, fica difícil aceitar menos que isso haha!
Eu vibrava por cada migalha que recebi do casal secundário, amei demais eles!
Por Hyung Sik e Park Shin Hye serem amigos de anos, foi muito bom ver eles juntos interpretando um casal!
Chen na OST foi tudo!!!

Dealing delicately and with mental health issues.

The series touches upon depression and other mental health issues which are still too often ignored, dismissed or brushed under the carpet. Dealing with this weighty topic needs a light touch, and the series has done that quite nicely with a balance of seriousness and humour. At times the dialogues and scenes are comical, and at other times serious or painful. I see this as a good way to approach these difficult topics in a way that doesn't end up making the series too heavy, serious and hard to watch.

The kid brother Ba-Da was cast as being quite irritating and excessively immature for his age, but it did not distract too much from the buildup of the main plots and the interactions between the main characters. I really liked the sweet interactions between the secondary ML/FL, that was heartwarming specially towards the last few episodes. The development of the relationship between Jeongwoo and Haneul was a pleasure to watch, though I would have loved to see deeper conversations and more depth and dimension to this relationship.

Yes, some mysteries and sub-plots were resolved early on without dragging them for the whole 16 episodes, but the series doesn't hinge entirely on those plots, rather, it's about the underlying issue of mental health during the good and bad times that pervades all the episodes. PHS's expressions and comedic timing were perfect. On the whole, I enjoyed the show and liked how it was wrapped up neatly with a positive message.

Quem é Grey's Anatomy perto disso?

LIIIIIIIIIIIINDO!!!!!!!! Amei, amei e amei muito assistir cada pedacinho desse drama 💗 Adorei a história de ambos os personagens e de como tudo foi resolvido. Me impressiona que um drama de 16 episódios conseguiu contar diversas histórias super amarradinhas numa quantidade ok de eps. Pensei que a história do Jeongwoo fosse a principal, mas quando chegou na metade e já tinha sido resolvida pensei " o que mais poder vir?" e a resposta foi TUDO! A história da Haneul é a mais legal pra mim, passei por um momento de "falha" na validação acadêmica e assistir a história dela passando por algo do mesmo nicho me fez sentir muito conectada com ela e até confortada. Gostei muito do casal secundário também! Todos muito queridos! Gosto quando o vilão não é 100% vilão, acho que trás mais veracidade pra história. Em resumo, foi perfeito. Me peguei várias vezes dando risadinhas e gritinhos olhando a inimizade deles virando paixão. É isso que anemies to lovers precisa ser e Doctor Slump fez da melhor forma possível.

bellino, ma confuso

Drama carino, bella la storia di fondo e apprezzabile l'idea di trattare problemi psicologici, amicizie vere e non, rivalità che nasconde attrazione ecc. Però l'ho trovato incoerente: espressioni troppo buffe, facce e capricci poco credibili, storie troppo drammatiche, truffe e imbrogli troppo complicati. Il tutto stanca. I due protagonisti sono carini ma i tempi della loro relazione sono lunghissimi, più freschi i due della seconda coppia. Infine ho trovato davvero insopportabili i pensieri-monologhi dei protagonisti, per altro al passato, del tutto inutili e pesanti. Si può guardare, ma sicuramente non è imperdibile.

Light hearted feel good drama

I enjoyed this light hearted drama with family dynamics. It's very refreshing to see romcom with very good plot but one thing is that it don't need 16 episodes. They would have just ended it with 12 to 14 episodes. I really felt like they dragged the story for 2 more episodes. Otherthan that everything was nice to watch and feel good. I started this because of park hyun sik and fell for him again.. too much of green flag in drama's.
Drama talks about mental health in a good very and you take many lessons along with you after finishing this drama. If you're looking for a light weight drama with family relations portraying in a good and supportive way, then go for it!!!

Classic RomCom with nice moments

The story sounded good : 2 rivals in school meeting each other again several years later. Both having bad days (depression, work issue, burnout, bankrupt, …), supporting each other and falling in love and then finally getting better.

A good start but quickly turned into a classic and predictable RomCom (with all tricks and clichés of this kind of drama). Nice moments sometimes but no surprise after all…
So nothing special to say, not a bad or good drama, just a classic one…

Great casting but usual overacting (that I don’t like).
It was my first drama with Park Shin Hye as FL, I’ve liked her. And my second drama with Park Hyung Sik, I’ve prefered his acting in Soundtrack #1.
Actors of support roles were good too (interesting « support couple », too bad their love story hasn’t been not more developped).

Production and direction were good.
I didn’t really pay attention to OST.
No rewatch value for me

Cliche but Execution saves the Plot

When Park Hyun-sik is in a drama, it’s almost always the FL is a strong & independent woman. I like that many Kdramas he’s in has some feministic vibe. It may not be perfect, but it does tackle serious problems people in their adult life are facing. It’s just a bit disappointing that this drama seems to hold back on saying or showing more, as if it was censored or scared to cause controversy. Hence, it gets lost in the basket full of RomCom dramas with not much uniqueness.

P.S. Finally a drama with Filipino cameo that does not put them as an "escape" country or something huhu

Refreshing

very cute cozy kdrama with also a lot of angst and melodrama. I loved how they discussed mental health and so many other important themes such as burnout, friendship, single parents, grief, absent parents and so on. Great chemistry, great delivery by all actors and great plot. I don't really have nothing to say to this drama and maybe that's why I stop at a 8.0 grade. It was great, meaningful, cute but nothing incredibly memorable. I had lost interest at one particular episode (I think after episode 9) but thankfully after a two weeks break decided to try it again and I was very pleased with the ending.

Self-aware drama

Story: Two rivals from high school met again on their lowest moment. The story is about how they will overcome their burnout and traumas from work. It’s nothing very deep but it will make you be aware of yourself, of what you are doing in life, if what you are now, is what you want to be.

Acting: I believe they did great in serving their roles however, the main couple just don’t have the chemistry despite acting really well. Their kissing scenes were great too but I just couldn’t feel the chemistry.

Music: most songs are appropriate for each scene, whether it’s emotional or happy moment.

Rewatch Value: I could rewatch most of Park Hyung Sik’s hysterics, although he had a few scenes that could be quite ‘too much / fake’, he was still cute & fun.

Overall: it’s been a long time since I finished this drama but I do remember that I recommended it to some friends ‘cos it’s a feel-good drama and perfect for binge-watching. It’s refreshing with some thought-provoking realizations as an adult.
