First episodes are always exposition-heavy and it’s the same for Doctor Slump. However, I am getting the whiff of a small crime-thriller along with a mental health-focused series in the upcoming episodes of this rom-com. When it comes to this episode, though, it was quite entertaining and, even though we hardly know anything about either of these characters, I found myself feeling a bit heartbroken for them in their present lives. The first episode was a nice mix of light-hearted and extremely serious moments. lot of people will relate to Ha-neul’s struggles since they are oh-so-common among high-achievers. Meanwhile, I feel like Jeong-woo’s trial scene was a bit kooky, especially with the medicine vial being found in the trash in the clinic. I mean, sure that’s one way to frame someone, but I think we could’ve gone a little more complicated route and given something more interesting to pick apart. From where we stand right in the first episode, he’s clearly being framed. It’s also quite silly that his childhood friends would start throwing punches the moment they hear anything against Jeong-woo. However, Yoon Park is a treasure and I hope to see more of his character’s love-hate relationship with Jeong-woo.
My Demon episode 7 picks up where we left off, with Gu-won planting a kiss on Do-hee to hide their faces from Do-gyeong. Thankfully, Do-gyeong opens the photo booth curtains and leaves after seeing a couple kissing. After Do-gyeong leaves, Gu-won quickly explains he kissed her to protect their identities, and they hurry off to tail Do-gyeong. Although flustered by the kiss, Do-hee acts like it is nothing, and Gu-won grabs their picture before she can see it. At the bus station, they run into the old beggar lady.
