Hospital Playlist 2 (2021)

Those 5 stars are ONLY for the actors and actresses that did their best in a poorly written script!

I REFUSE to continue watching a tv series that promotes rape culture.
When a woman says NO that means NO.

Writernim Lee made the stellar character of Song Hwa a caricature, normalizing rape culture in the process.

In the beginning of the Season 2, SHwa made pretty clear that she rejected IkJun.
But little by little, they made her to change her mind in a way that is awful!

ShinLee duo used their cast to validate such behaviors as:

- It is alright to have a stalker! The girl or boy will eventually change her / his mind!

- It is alright to stay in a toxic relationship, manipulation and gaslighting doesn't matter!
You are just imagining things! If he / she lies or doesn't say the truth (lies by omission) then that's okay too!

-It is alright to stay in an abusive relationship, if you don't die in the end!
(I am using sarcasm obviously!)

Some might think that I am exaggerating, but since the Pandemic and the lockdowns around the world, have you seen the Femicide rates by country?

ShinLee basically told us that:

*WE* don't know what we are thinking!

Women can hold grudges for over 20 years and stay forever in a 19 year old mindset, where being dumped is something that can happen to anyone,

BUT

Instead of making women or men move on and grow mentally, emotionally and intellectually, that makes them indecisive!

We can be brilliant to our occupations, but we don't really know what we really want from a partner!

Is that a HEALTHY ROLE MODEL in its 40s?

Should all women in their 30s-40s something, out there in the world, feel imcompetent, just because they are not married?

Should they lower their standards, in order to find someone to marry, in order to be accepted that they are following indeed our society's standards!?

Every woman has its own path, that is different from others and that's okay. And that applies to men as well!

If the script was better written I wouldn't object to that pairing, but it isn't.
Hence my frustration and disappointment!

They also did disservice to the character of Ahn Jeong-won.
DLL was used for what reason exactly? Why did he give it to Song Hwa for?
What happened with his ultimate dream? There are so many loose ends that go nowhere.

We didn't see at all IkJun spending time with Uju.
We got almost 2 hours episodes every week, that didn't have a scene with the boy.
Do you think that is okay for a single father not to spend time with his son?

THINGS I LIKED:
The only healthy relationship is the Bear Couple.
MinHa and Seok-hyeong show to the world, how a relationship should be approached!
Also, Seok-hyeong as a doctor saved the day several times over.

The best character development is that of JWan's.
JWan along with JaeHaek are the stars of Season 2.
IkSun made the best apology ever to JWan about their breaking up.

If you want to watch Season 2 be prepared for a poorly written script that has nothing to do with the stellar Season 1. It contains fillers, scenes that doesn't bring emotional build up and a brilliant cast that is trying to save the day!

Hospital Playlist 2 (2021) - since it is a sequel of the first season, and I already know the usual flow of this korean drama, I find it pleasing just like the first season.

My favorite episode would be the acknowledgement of the nurses in the PICU and also the highlight with emergency doctors and the emergency team. It feels like they inserted two dramas: Emergency Couple and Romantic Doctor, both highlights emergencies.

Having the same line up of characters is also a plus since I already know the characters.

One of the best release korean dramas. Recommended.

Comfort Drama... You wish you had a friend group like theirs.

Hospital Playlist is one of the best comfort dramas you will find. It's a drama with many lessons that will teach you something every single episode.

Don't expect your typical fast paced drama with lots of action. It is a slow drama with a beautiful plot.

The friend group is a delight to watch. Such a beautiful bond and such amazing characters.

The writer did an amazing job writing such distinctive characters with unqiue personalities. You can really see the INDIVIDUALITY of the characters and this is honestly such a breath of FRESH AIR.

The COMEDY is here. The doctors never fail to make you laugh. Although doctors, they are still human beings.

The OST is beautiful.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, watch this drama, especially if you're interested in the medical field. You might not understand it that well if you are too young. I first watched it 2 years ago and I couldn't really get it, but now it is one of my comfort dramas.

TUYỆT VỜI

Mình đã xem lại vài lần, đơn giản là một bộ phim nhưng mình cảm giác như đang đắm chìm với đời sống của những bác sĩ tài hoa, những khung cảnh không hiếm thấy ở bệnh viện ngoài đời. Hiểu thêm nhiều về những hoàn cảnh khó khăn, những câu chuyện của bệnh nhân, chắc chắn rằng ngoài đời thực, những hoàn cảnh như vậy vẫn đang tồn tại. Thực sự là đạo diễn đã casting siêu thành công 5 nhân vật chính, mình đã từng nghĩ nếu như nhân vật này được diễn bởi diễn viên khác thì trải nghiệm xem phim của mình có khác không, có lẽ là sẽ có, à không chắc chắn khác luôn ấy. Nhạc phim cũng siêu đỉnh luôn, thỉnh thoảng lại mở cả list OST của phim ra nghe. Bất kỳ ai nếu đang tìm 1 bộ phim mà mọi người hay gọi là healing, chữa lành, mình sẽ recommend bộ này.

Best Ever ... Hospital Playlist 1 and 2 season.

By far the most charismatic Korean series I’ve ever watched.

The story revolves on 5 doctors in their 40s who met during their medical school years — where they eventually ended up becoming best friends. This is not your typical Korean series, as it is unique and different from the usual Korean shows you’re used to watching — it’s fresh, a new concept with no heavy dramas, no complicated plots — its like a slice of life, a realistic life of medical practitioners, their daily struggles inside the hospital walls, and their personal lives.

This’ll make you laugh, cry, laugh, and cry. Over and over again. I recommend it if you want light-hearted entertainment. This might not be as flashy as other kdramas may be, however you’ll be touched watching the doctors go about on their lifestyles.

5/5

Best ever!!!

Easy watching, story about friends and how they help each other, low stress

Life is too short for stressful drama. Why spend all that time watching and be stressed? Don’t our lives already provide enough of that?

Summary of the series:
- Light hearted about friendship; some romance
- Likable characters and on how they go beyond to help people as doctors
- No real villains, just annoying family members to jump the gun and blasting doctors who is caring for their family
- Great chemistry on the MLs and FL, they are like Korean Doctors' version of Friends
- ending was not done succinctly, but can show all the couples together for karaoke or doing something together


By far one of my favs, its light hearted yet heart warming. At occasions it may bring some tears but not because of sadness, but for heartfelt moments.

If you are looking for gratuitous stress/drama, frequent miscommunications, abrupt ending, insipid side stories, then this is not for you.

A saudade vai ser muito grande

Meus agradecimentos:
Sou tão grata por ter acompanhado essa segunda temporada, sou tão grata por ter tido a oportunidade de conhecer esse drama e esse elenco incrível. Tudo foi tão importante pra mim, aprendi muito sobre, chorei e ri. Com certeza Hospital playlist contribuiu muito pra mim. Estou tão feliz por tudo que eles conquistaram e o quanto eles crescerem. As músicas, as cenas, a correria do hospital, a amizade deles acima de tudo. Que felicidade. Eu não tenho palavras pra dizer. Sou feliz por ter eles e é isso.
Queria que tivesse tido mais dos casais, iksong, gomgom e pombinhos. Queria todos juntos. Queria muito mais DELES. Vou sentir tanta falta meudeus!
Amo vocês 99s, obrigada por tudo!
(teoria: talvez eles gravem uma possível 3 temporada daqui um ano, como se tivesse passado um ano da viagem do Jeong won, isso sou eu inventando pra ter outra temporada)

Tan buena como la primera

Vi esta segunda temporada inmediatamente después de la primera así que para mi fue todo un conjunto que disfrute demasiado.
El drama en esta segunda temporada no decayó en ningún momento, todo siguió igual de perfecto y las historias de los pacientes fueron tan buenas como antes, con la misma esencia y optimismo que ame en su primera entrega.
El desarrollo del romance en cada una de las parejas fue perfecto, nunca sentí nada forzado, todo se dio a su tiempo y en situaciones muy comunes y humanas. Si bien ame todas las parejas y es difícil escoger una favorita creo que la que más me gusto fue la de Jeongwon y Gyewool simplemente porque amaba su dinámica, momentos y ambos actores hicieron un trabajo maravilloso.
"Pasillos de Hospital" es una historia que sin duda te hará reír y te hará ver las cosas de manera positiva, es una gran opción para ver pues cada capítulo, por largo que parezca vale totalmente la pena.

While watching S1 I felt very bored, maybe because of the long durations, in about 1 month I just continued my S2, for S2 I felt better than S1, maybe because I was used to the story of hospital playlists dramas, and I really enjoyed their band's songs.

The ending is vague, like other netflix drama endings, making a finished ending, but if they want to continue S3 there is also a possibility to make it, open ending? ,, S1 ending and S2 opening is connecting, different with S2 ending,it more like open ending


To be honest, I didn't expect S3, because shooting the film would take more time, while I watched S1 and S2 only one month apart, I almost forgot the name of the character, because there are so many


When watching S1 I didn't understand the storyline, when S2 just understood, that this drama is focused on friendship of the lead cast, and band together, the patients are just guests, and not too focused


I enjoy the songs they play when they play a band, most of them are very good, with various sensations, and when they are in a band, I am grateful that in their friendship there is only one woman HAHAHA

Fun time

I like the fact that it does not have triangles like usual.
It is funny overall and it has some super funny moments.
I like the cinematography and camera angles.
The acting is good.
The story is decent but it's slow-paced which is not bad. You can take your time.

It is a usual 16 episodes show since every episode is 1 hour and 30 minutes.

The negative sides in my opinion:

One thing I don't like is how the show, not the hospital itself, is male-centered, for the sake of the female audience of course, but I had serious problems connecting with this one. And the fact that the main female character in her 40s is matched with a man who has a child.

Also, the fact that the doctors being super good doctors is an extreme exaggeration as I haven't seen a doctor like them this devoted and never heard of one. We can ignore the fact that they are actors and so they all are very energetic with all the shifts in the show but they had to depict the fatigue a little better and more believable as we see in reality.

I don't like the cheesy romance and kissing scenes specifically what's going on between Yoo Yeon Seok and his girlfriend. I like it to be more mature so I can say Yang Suk Hyung is closer. But this is a personal interest.

One thing I also find annoying is how it's only focused on the mother's concern for the child and the father's involvement is very little in the process that conveys a feeling that they don't have the responsibility to care or be there and women should be the source of all concerns and sacrifice.

I also don't like how doctors speak childishly to grown-up patients, mostly Yoo Yeon Seok. It's very disturbing to me.

Trying a little hard to be too modest.

The things I liked about this:
1. Lee Ik Jun (Jo Jung Suk)
2. Lee Ik Jun, his child and his quirkiness.
3. Few genuine comedy moments which where mostly by Lee Ik Jun.
4, Couplings of Ik Jun n Song Hwa and Ik Sun n Jun Wan.

The things I hated about this:
1. Actors trying to be too modest.
2. Supporting staff pretending to be too nice and too innocent which actually came off as stupid.
3. Long stretches of unwanted cases.


But what I truly hate is the restriction of MyDramaList's writing a review which has to have minimum 500 characters which I don't have. I don't have anything more to write here for the drama. I think this add up to 500 charcaters.

It may not be as funny as Season 1 but it is definitely more emotional

Ok my initial thoughts on season 2 was that I did not like it much. I had absolutely loved season 1 and had actually binge watched it in 2 days (I started watching when 11 of the episodes had already been released) and then re-watched it several times later. In season 1 I had zero expectations while in season 2 I was expecting many things like the winter garden couple getting married, Ik-jun and Song-hwa getting together, Seok-hyeong reciprocating Min-ha's feelings, Jun-wan and Ik-sun to also get married or atleast engaged, and many more antics from the 2 best duos - Rosa and Jong su and the twins Yun-bok and Hong-do.
While some of these things did come true, some did not. And many loose ends were left without giving us proper closure. Regardless this season got better with each passing episodes. I liked the music in this season much better than season 1. The emotional development of many characters was very good. There were many heart wrenching moments as well especially that last episode which made me almost tear up.
The writers definitely tried to keep the magic of the previous season. This failed in some instances like the first fight scene between Ik-jun and Jun wan or when Ik jun was reciting the exam hall announcement after listening to classical music. It was funny but it seemed like the writers were just repackaging the same old content and giving it to us.
But despite that many scenes were genuinely funny. I'll just list down my most favorite moments -
1. Kim Jun-wan and Do Jae-hak duo (if they weren't both straight and in relationships, I would have shipped them)
2. Chu-Bear couple (Seok-Hyeong and Min-ha were hands down my most anticipated couple this season)
3. Ik-Jun and Song-hwa (unlike many I did not ship them very hard. They were good either way, whether they stay friends or become lovers. But I did like them together in the end)
4. Winter garden couple connecting emotionally (while in season 1 their relationship was highly anticipated, in season 2 it became very evident that while they liked each other for their personalities, they actually did not know much about each other. In this season their personal issues were brought to light especially Gyeo-ul's background and I loved how they tackled the issues together and became even closer)
So yes you should definitely watch this season. While it is not as good as season 1, it is 10 times better than any of the other series currently airing.
