A Poem a Day (2018)

Woah. This was .... Realllyyyy good
I was so hesitant at first because I really dislike the medical genre but after encouragement I gave myself a push and I don't regret it at all.

The osts are EPIC I highly encourage anyone to listen to the playlist.
The story is great in the sense that it focuses on the hidden heroes of the health care system instead of typical doctors nurses.
We see physical therapists, radiologists and even trainees!
The story is more slice of life,but we see great insights into the characters jobs, personal life and relationships so that it never got boring and at times was very entertaining.
It also showed alot of heart fittingly accompanied by very well selected and inspiring poems.

I really liked the characters and even Dr. Park grew on me as time went on.
They all got their fair share of backstory and depth wich I love especially for the supports.

Bo Young was not the typical damsel in distress but more a hard-working persevering young woman.

Dr. Ye who in the beginning seemed like the typical aloof ML turned out to be a very stiff, honest and awkward bean who was so amusing to watch in love.

Minho who in the beginning seems like a rich brat without manners actually grows as the story progresses and we learn more about him. (Although he had a little relapse that was understandable). He grew alot as a person and made valuable experiences and I could see what a great person he actually was.

Nam Woo was great. He was a mess, a relatable friend and also a courageous guy who has been through alot but still works hard.
I hope you find a new crocodile tee Nam Woo.

Mrs. Kim is sass personified and a super cool unni I would love as a senior at work. She's very strong and also such a good friend and co-worker.

Dr. Park in the beginning seemed like a run of the mill giant mean senior but it turned out that he had a heavy load to carry. He also grew over the episodes I think and actually had a very funny and cheeky personality.

Dr. Yang actually wss for me the person with the least presence but he actually really loves his co-workers and also turned out to be a chief woth heart who fit right in.

Dae bang and han joo were the fun radiology duo that actually fit together more than they would like to admit.
Dae bang even though annoyingly indecisive has alot of heart and han joo who was a little immature and snobbish was a perfect fit with him and he also learned alot


All in all I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I really recommend this drama ^^

Meh

Un drama que de "medicina" tiene muy poco...
la pareja principal fue muy linda, tenían buena química entre ellos y se veían muy tiernos en sus muestras de afecto. el tercero en discordia en este triangulo amoroso es el pasante ex interés amoroso de la protagonista, fácilmente entra al top 3 de los personajes mas detestables en triángulos amoroso y esto es lo que no entiendo del drama, osea estamos hablando de personas ya mayores que van a la universidad, ya piensan en trabajos y el futuro pero a este personaje lo plantean como alguien de 12 años enojado porque la chica que le gusta no le presta atención... POR DIOS !!!! QUE EN 2 O 3 AÑOS CUMPLIS 30, MADURA DE UNA BUENA VEZ.

La enorme cantidad de tramas secundarias que se abordan y después se abandonan me parece increíble

En fin, un drama mas olvidable que disfrutable... el punto mas fuerte es la pareja principal y nada más

LIKE:
1.lee joon hyuk as Dr. YE is really cute and funny
2. The poem is really nice
3.I love the chemistry of the main couple.
4.I like the side story of the patients

DISLIKE:
1.love triangle-it's better if the story is more focus on relationship development of the main couple
1.So many supporting characters. Sorry but somehow I am bored to their some other scenes. Hehe..

IT'S BETTER IF:
1.I want more backstory about Dr. YE(lee joon hyuk)
2.I want more character development of Dr. YE.

I give 9.0 because of Lee joon hyuk. Hehe

This is your not-so-ordinary medical Korean drama. To be honest, I like this kind of medical drama more than those with surgeries and stuff. I'm afraid with blood and the like ;c

The story, as I've said, is different from the typical medical ones. There's actually no plot from my observation and it's just about the lives of the doctors and what they do in the hospital. They also added some poems in which I live for. I like that they don't just focus on the main character but also the side characters. They opened up problems but they were unable to close some. which I really want to know what happened to this and that... but it's okay I'll make my own scenario. (LOL). The romance is very slow which I like, though.

As for the characters, I loved the tandem of baby Joo Young and Dae Bang Dae Bang. But I didn't quite like the attitude and their development.... it was very slow, but I understand. No plant will eventually become a tree. It takes time to grow. :)

The music perfectly matches up the drama. I love it.

As for the re-watch value... It's a light drama and it's really fun to watch. I recommend it but I may or may not re-watch.

. . .
This is only MY OPINION, it is still up to you if you want to watch it or not.

It's not great.

Up until recently this has been the most recommended drama that I have yet to watch. People just kept recommending it to me over and over again. I kept procrastinating, because I dislike love triangles and oh boy the triangle sure is annoying in this one. The biggest problem is the second ML being a forking stink button, his toxic personality is not something that I could have ever tolerated in a romantic comedy. Another significant issue is all the character rewrites that we've gotten, character micro adjustments are unfortunately pretty normal in kdramas, but here it's pretty extreme & not only that, but multiple characters had personalities that were just all over the place.

The OTP romance is not that great. ML's robotic acting & weird fake smiles sure did not help with the immersion. Also the leads did not really grow as a couple & their relationship was super weird in a bad way.
Even the comedy is just whelming. Even if I ignore the triangle thing, what's left is still mediocre.
Some of the patients had touching stories, but compared to Hospital Playlist this is not worth mentioning. The poems felt like an afterthought, they were not bad or anything, but some of them felt quite forced.

The best thing about the drama is without a doubt Lee Yoobi. This is the first time I've seen her in a main role, but she was absolutely radiant. No one could possibly accuse her of not having the glow of THE main character. I've seen her playing the crazy sasaeng-ish archetype multiple times, I never thought she would be so great in this one.

Definitely a slow moving drama, the plot didn't really reveal itself till about halfway through the drama. The first half of this drama is mostly build up- the characters participating in the love triangle are revealed and early character traits are shown to leave room for development throughout the other half of the episodes. The fact that's it a slow drama is not a bad thing! I personally don't mind slow dramas as I can take my time to watch them however, I did think about dropping this.
The reason being how slow it was, but I decided to give it another try and make my decision through the next episode. From there I decided that I would keep watching it through to the end as I really wanted to know how the love triangle would play out. In the end I'm happy I watched this but I don't see myself watching this again, it's kind of a one time watch drama.

A Poem a Day (2018) - I really like how the drama started, as being familiar with the hospital setting and seeing that this medical drama focuses more on things that are unfamiliar to non-medical people, I truly appreciate the fact that they pursued this drama. I also like that it is true to the drama’s title name, there is always a ‘poem’ in every episode. Being a slice of life drama genre, I am into this drama, lighthearted drama but has in impact. The bad side for me is that the main leads does not really have a chemistry romantically. Still, I like how they unfold the romance part of the drama, and truthfully I am very much pleased with who end up with each other. I think it's hard for me to see Lee Joon Hyuk in a romance drama so far base on what I have seen in his other roles but I look forward to it in the future. This is just my third Lee Joon Hyuk drama that he is the main lead and I am satisfied. Jang Dong Yoon as Minho suits him as well, and I find him more charming here compared to Tale of Nokdu. I also like the side characters of this drama, I find them almost all likeable and relatable at the same time. This drama is one of my recommended dramas for sure.

I just finished watching this show. Even though I started it just to kill some time, I ended up loving it and finishing it in 2 days actually!
What I really loved about the show was how genuine the human emotions were shown. I love that we were able to emphatise with all the characters, we were able to see their side of story. And I love that in the end Bo Young went with the doctor! But that being said, I also felt like Min Ho’s storyline basically ended around the episode 13, which I wish it didn’t. But I love that in the show we see that sometimes even the main lead wouldn’t get the happy ending, because in life sometimes we have them and sometimes we don’t.
I think all the characters were successfully portrayed. I loved that all of them are very relatable in real life.
In the end, I think it’s a different flavor to the cliché korean dramas, and it’s totally worth giving a shot!!

A beautiful and understated slice of life drama that had me smiling, laughing and fanning away my tears (pun intended of course). I love the title "You Who Forgot Poetry" so much more. It really resonates. This drama indeed reminded me of how heartfelt poetry can be and how it can express raw emotions. You might come across a lot that this drama didn't have enough swoon, or didn't have enough big plot moments. Which is kinda true. But to me, the drama wasn't about those things. It was about the ups and downs of life, about the day to day struggles; simply put: the human experience. I for one am going to miss the bromance between Joo Yong Joo Yong and Dae Bang. I'm going to miss Woo Bo Yeong's sunny personality and bright disposition, Dr. Ye for just being Dr. Ye (insert heart eyes), Min Ho's childishness, the alligator, and each and every side character, who were all perfect in their own struggles, imperfections and subtle character growths.

May I give you some advice? Just watch this drama.

a heartwarming story and beautiful poems each episode

I think people should watch this. It has all packages from funny scene to fluttering romance. For me, it's quite refreshing ! It also talks about your future, dreams and career. How the female lead loves poems but she pursue another career as a physical therapist to have a stable career rather than a poet. I can totally relate with this.

Regarding that, the female lead still do her best in her job and she still loves poems even use it as a comfort for patients also. The male lead is totally has fine character. Not the typical drama character he's mature and not too cringey or too much. He's just like normal guy and of course the way they date. All of the character and their stories are relate-able.

Looking at their romance journey in each episode totally warms my heart. How the female lead were actually turned down by both male leads but she finally got her happiness. What I like from this drama is that they potrait a healty romance relationship.

Underrated

I watched the drama without any expectations. I didn't expect the drama to be a masterpiece and tbf it's not the greatest drama out there. However, the drama pleasantly surprised me. It was good, enjoyable, and very relaxing.

There were no relevant plot, so if you prefer drama that keeps you on your toe this might not be for you. It was more of a healing drama that focuses on the fl and her love of poetry. I love the leads together and they had a really cute and healthy relationship that I ended up liking them so much. The second male lead was annoying in the beginning but his character development was nice.

It is a good drama and I recommended it. Give it a try, you might like it. :)
