#doctorslump — Public Fediverse posts

cw: spoilers

"Doctor Slump" is in many ways a formulaic romance, but I found it heartwarming and extremely compelling. ML Yeo Jeong-woo (Park Hyung-sik) is a dashing young plastic surgeon at the top of his game. His "NeoTube" channel has millions of subscribers, and he has opened up clinics across Korea. Jeong-woo has boyish good looks, and a cute - if conceited - personality. I thought 'he's probably a k-pop idol', and indeed he was a member of boy band ZE:A.

For me, the event that becomes the trigger for the ML's problems ends up being just that. It was such an interesting mystery & it went nowhere - just a plot device that was never woven back in.

Also, the depiction of depression was superficial. I could have forgiven that because what can you do in a few episodes, but it barely interfered in their relationship. Both people going through their own difficult times & also trying to forge a relationship should have gone through a lot more trouble.

I think it was done to show depression & to destigmatize therapy & taking meds & to give people hope, which I think it accomplished, but because it tried to keep things light, it felt shallow to me. Also, much of the comedy felt forced when I know both leads are good at comedy.

She did a great job in Heirs. In #DoctorSlump, I blame the writers/directors for making that less of a story than it could have been. Glad to see a married mom still making it big in #kdrama land. That can't be easy at all!!

Also, I was really disappointed in the Netflix subtitles. They are always worse than Viki, but they missed entire sentences.

And the sound quality was not great either.

Compared to other Netflix kDramas, this felt neglected.

(2024 - Netflix, 16 1:05 eps)

High expectations resulted in disappointment. A very bland mystery could have either been finished quickly or gone crazy. The ML's parents were mentioned briefly, but that went nowhere. The writing was not well done.

Park Hyung Sik wasn't playing a character - it was just him - so some deep emotional scenes felt out of place. The chemistry was lacking. The FL's brother stole the show with his acting - he was terrific! And the 2nd couple was great.

It was a mental health service message: although the show didn't portray depression completely accurately, I felt the uplifting message of "It's okay to fail. You can try again." is a good one.

It's a cute, positive show in many ways. If you're looking for fluff, it's a nice, mostly-calm, watch. If you're expecting award-caliber stuff, you will be disappointed.

As the plot unraveled it didn't keep the excitement promised in first episodes. It could have been so much better!
The talented cast made it worth watching though. Jeong-woo (Park Hyung-sik) mood swings were hilarious and totally addictive. Ha-neul (Park Shin-hye) healing journey was brilliantly interpreted and the supporting cast nailed the frequent comedy scenes too.
Excellent acting and directing, deceiving screen-writing.

Vote: 7.5

#kdrama #DoctorSlump ep15

Can anyone provide the translation for what Jeong-woo said in English? 😂😂😂
The little girl outshined them both!
I was thinking "at least Ha-neul can speak it well" and then she ended her line with "surpraaa!!!"

@EllenInEdmonton @ericg @sirsean Agreed. The actors and the directors spectacularly make up for the lack of proper screenwriting.
It would be worth watching it just for #ParkHyungSik 's mood swings 😂❤️

I don't like to have too many #CurrentlyAiring shows at one time. The very cute but rather directionless #DoctorSlump should finish soon and #TheImpossibleHeir is packing lots of action into every episode, with gorgeous visuals.

My friend told me yesterday he was watching Dr. Slump and I said "OMG me tooo"... But he was talking about the old anime and I was talking about a K-drama 😶‍🌫️

@Missrdevine @gailhightower @rLok
The show's not over yet! I think it would be perfectly fitting for the #DoctorSlump pair to wind up on #DoctorRomantic, rumoured to be working on season 4. Still, there's a limited demand for cosmetic surgeons in that area!

This song has been stuck in my head all day and now I'm bringing it to you! Here it is, Dr. Slump!

Started watching 닥터슬럼프 (Doctor Slump) a few days ago, and it's a fun watch - medical drama and romantic comedy in roughly equal measures. #KDrama #닥터슬럼프 #DoctorSlump

#kdrama #DoctorSlump ep 9-10

I know nothing impressive happens right now, but I still love it!
Nevertheless I hope they find a new plot line because there's not enough material to get to episode 16.

@AnnaAnthro @notthatkaren @Vinjii
I definitely loved #TwentyFiveTwentyOne but the OP wants a drama that's "low tension", which is perfectly fair at certain points in one's life. I found #WelcomeToSamdalRi to be very low tension, to the point that I found it somewhat dull in parts. It's not yet finished, but I think that #DoctorSlump is also fairly low tension. Most of the dramas crank our emotions up several notches! #kdrama

@KDramaQn @Missrdevine
Even though I complain mightily when a story contains too much tension, not enough can really detract as well. I felt the same way about Samdal-Ri. Most of the tension occurred during the first episode or 2 and then, it was mainly the leads being cute together.
I started #MyHappyEnding, not realizing that it was #CurrentlyAiring. They know how to create tension and keep it going! And it's one FL doing ALL of the heavy lifting!
#kdrama
#DoctorSlump

@KDramaQn @Missrdevine
Honestly, it feels like they moved all of the action up to the early episodes with the outcomes of their work matters and their early confessions of affection. So, now they need to find a bunch of things to muddy the waters. I don't love this show but it's likeable enough.

Doctor Slump subtitles

I am bothered that a noticeable amount of lines by secondary characters haven't even been subbed.

You can complain to Netflix (which I did this morning & plan to do every episode from now on)
