The series started on a promising note, exploring themes of depression, healing and the found family trope. However as it progressed, it seemed to lose its focus with the introduction of numerous cliched storylines, such as the problematic parents of ML, Truck kun's cameo and an unnecessary breakup. Nevertheless, despite these setbacks the show remained engaging.

Despite its flaws, there were still several aspects that i found enjoyable. The family scenes were consistently heartwarming and the comedy, while not groundbreaking, brought smiles on faces at various points. The relationship between the leads was portrayed in a healthy manner with a natural progression and understanding that was a joy to watch. Additionally the interactions between the second leads were quite fun, despite their limited screen time. The bond between the ML Jeongwoo and Haneul's family was quite cute and heartwarming.

In terms of acting, everyone did good job. Park Hyung Sik in loser lover type roles is always a treat to watch. While im not a big fan of Park Shin hye, she was quite watchable here. The other cast members including second leads and supporting actors were also good in their roles.

However there were some technical shortcomings, particularly in cinematography and picture quality, which gave the show an outdated appearance. Additionally there were issues with sound mixing, with background noise occasionally overshadowing the characters voices.

Despite its flaws, Doctor Slump remains a decent drama worthy of a one time viewing.
