The perfect show to heal your soul and make you wanna be happy and live your life to the fullest. Amazing writing and characters with the backdrop of such a beautiful location makes this my fave slice of life/ romcom drama to date. The show made me all the more happy bc I finally got to see Kim Seon Ho playing the main lead and the fact that Hong Du Shik’s character suited him perfectly made me so so happy! I can say with 100% confidence that no one else could’ve played this role as naturally as he did. This was my first Shin Min A drama and I love her acting so much it’s really pure yet mature and they both look perfect together. Each supporting character was so special and necessary and told a very realistic life story that we can sympathise with. I love the bond they showed between Du Shik and the rest of village and just the mix of characters was so new and interesting especially Du Shik. I love the conclusion and revelation of why he loves the way he does and just overall the ending was so pure and warm and the last three episodes made me cry both tears of sadness and happiness. Overall, the show very beautifully portrays our daily life struggles and how we should cope with them, while also making us laugh and be happy along with the characters.

I don't usually find law, politics or crime-related drama that interesting but I srsly didn't find even one instance where this show didn't have my full attention when I was watching. The base storyline isn't anything drastically new but when u add Song JongKi's character Vincenzo and the other characters into the mix it's so engaging. I loveeddd his character as an anit-hero!!! I have seen other Kdrama's with a hero being bad or selfish at the start and then he somehow changes his ways as the story unfolds (or usually when he gets to know the female lead which is so nonsensical at times) but the whole evil defeating a bigger evil plot is sooooo cool and SJK is the perfecttttt character to play this role. Initially i was thinking its gonna be a noir type heavy show but IM SO HAPPY I WATCHED IT bc even tho there are times when it's dark the writing and director is so well done that it doesn't make it too heavy to watch. AND the Hong Cha youngs character played by Jeon Yeobeen is SO WELL MADE AND PLAYED. This is my first time watching her act but her skills are so polished and i really don't think anyone could've played this role better than her tbh. OMG and their chemistry was srsly amazing (better than SJK's chemistry in DOTS dare i say). I love how the directors displayed their character development tgt. Instead of having a whole different mini romance plot going on the writers made his attraction to her seem so natural and realistic, without those out of the blue romance scenes that happen in such shows way too often. ALSO just the overall relationship they showed was so healthy and supportive. Even tho the gist of the show was very unlikely to happen everything they showed was so realistic and well thought out by the writers even till the end. AND all the characters were so fun to watch and the while CASSANO FAMILY WAS AMAZING! OMG the active of the antagonist's was so so good it made my blood boil at times esp the main lawyer and Ok Taecyeon HE ACTED SO WELL but my heart was stolen by the younger bro. His bromance with LJK was so cuteeee. OVERALL great drama fr ppl looking who don't usually like dark law related dramas or just fr ppl looking to see SJK's amazing acting skills and really attractive personality in a suit :)

I think this is a really good and lighthearted kdrama. Its a good one to watch after you've watched something really intense or emotionally investing (cuz that what I did haha). I was so so happy to see So JooYeon playing the female lead cuz i saw her in Dr. Romantic 2 and she was the sweetest. I think all the actors fit the role so perfectly, esp the two leads. Their chemistry was the sweetest and purest I have ever seen in all the kdramas that I've watched (and I've watched a lot haha). I love the innocence they portrayed and the little loving things they did for each other. Although the whole storyline of a girl liking a closed-off guy is pretty common I think this is the best I've seen it done. The progression of their relationship from childhood school days to adulthood was really nice although i think my fav still has to be them in school. I loved how sweet and innocent Shin Sol-i's character was esp in that scene where Cha Heon gives her his drink and after drinking she says omg we kissed SOO CUTE. I think this drama showed the best cute gesture scenes like the one where Heon gives her his sleeves to wipe away her tears or when he feeds her so sweetly as she's worried about not getting into uni. MY FAV scene has to be when Heon flips over her book pages for her as she's wearing mittens and then she rests her head on his should and rubs it every time she wants him to flip the page, that scene took my heart away OUFF. I haven't seen the Chinese version but I found the time skips after they became adults a little confusing and sudden because one second Cha Heon was begging her to give him another chance and then in the next scene she waits for him in the hospital room and they cuddle tgt... I feel like maybe if they showed the in-between times a bit more and the struggle a bit more the story would've felt more complete. BUT i still loved it and esp the wedding scene where the guys dance was so cuteeee. I found the last episode a really good way to end the story cuz the story started from showing sol-i's love for cha heon so ending it with showing recaps of how much cared and loved her throughout the same time was really beautiful. I really wanna see Kim Yohan and Seo Jooyeon play more leading roles in the future. Overall, really cute show if you wanna watch something that makes you all giggly smile and happy about life.

I started watching this drama cuz of Woo Do-Hwan and his acting and charm didn't fail to keep me hooked to it. I think the three actors did a great job in showing the realistic side of friendship and the chemistry between the three was great too. I think the story started off well but as the story progressed it kinda lost the thing that makes it distinctive from other Korean dramas. I think the script didn't do the actor's skills justice. I think the female lead initially was playing her part well but as the story started to get more dramatic I think her expressions and acting started to seem a bit monotone and not as expressive. Especially while acting beside other characters like Wo Do-hwan's, initially while they were in the lovey-dovey light-hearted stage of their relationship her acting was still better but during the more sentimental scenes I think her acting couldn't give justice to the emotions of the character she played in comparison to Wo do-hwan. I likd the ending as it was pretty realistic.

This drama is truly a hidden gem and needs more recognition. I really love how it shows things that could possibly be the hardest to deal with in life through a lighthearted lens. I think the casting is so perfect, I LOVED Go Ara's portrayal of RaRa and I really don't think anyone else could've done a better job at playing this naive chirpy little bundle of joy that RaRa was. I love the chemistry and storyline of all the different supporting characters as well especially Dr. Cha. The way his character started to become happier through the story not just because of RaRa but also because of all the other people in that neighborhood really made me happy because it was very realistic. I think a lot of Kdramas start off with an unexpected storyline but as the episodes progress they start to fall back into the mold of a typical kdrama storyline especially for love stories like this one, BUT I am sooooo glad this show didn't do that. Every episode was really unique and exciting to watch. This show really made me smile and even happy cry at many points. The whole concept of the mysterious Mr. Dodosolsollalasol was realllyyy engaging because unlike in other shows where you kinda figure out who the mysterious helper of the female lead is, that really didn't happen in this show which made the final revelation of that person so much more shocking. And without giving any spoilers away, OMG the concept of how that person came up with that name and the way she remembered OMGGGG I LOVED IT! I started watching the drama because of Lee Jaewook because I NEEDED to see him as the main lead of a drama after Extraordinary You and I am SO HAPPY he chose this to be his first lead role because I think he is a really good actor so I didn't want him to pick just any basic romantic drama. This story was perfect for him and it also showed how good he is at choosing good roles and scripts. LOVED the cutesy chemistry between RaRa and him and the way he kept lending her money and secretly cared for her so much really had be blushing it was just too sweet. OVERALL great romantic comedy-drama which not only makes you smile but also shows you a unique way to live life a little happier. :) WATCH IT!!

To anyone wondering if they should/ need to watch Dr. Romantic 1 before starting the second season, YES!! The story of this season kinda carries on after the happenings of the first season and although there are new male and female leads who the story revolves are a lot, the most intriguing storyline is still of Kim Sabu and Doldam Hospital, you need the watch the first season to build the love you do for all the characters and the hospital. Season 1 was really dynamic with various different types of cases, the leads always being the emergency room and saving so many people with the guidance of Kim Sabu, the second season didn't really have that same amount of intensity in the ER I think which I'm not objecting to at all. I think this season focused a lot on Kim Sabu being a teacher than an amazingly talented and experienced surgeon because I think he taught both the new leads a lot about life and how to be good people and live to your full potential and I think it was a really smart move to show a different side of him and made sense because he hurt his hand by the end of the last season. The story of the two leads was very different from the story of those from season 1. Ahn HyoSeop's character was really interesting and you just wanted to keep seeing more of him. I LOVED his interactions and the chemistry he built with Kim Sabu and I loved how Kim Sabu saw the amount of potential in him and made him part of the Oddball Project and just the way they reveal what that was was just so amazing to watch as a viewer. I kinda hoped more from Cha Eun Jae's character, especially because of the fact that Seo Woo Jin's character got so close to Kim Sabu. I feel like her character wasn't as emotionally connected to Sabu and the hospital especially after watching how much care the female lead from the first season, Yun Seo Jeong, had with Doldam and Sabu and just everyone. I get the writers had to show differences between the two female leads from the two seasons but I just wish they showed more of Cha Eun Jae with Sabu and her to be a part in finding Sabu's illness too. I was so happy that Kim minjae's Park Eun tak got more screentime because he's an amazing actor and I WAS SO HAPPY THAT HE HAD A LOVE INTEREST. They both made such a cute couple I couldn't stop being all smiley whenever they had a scene. Kinda found them cuter than the main couple. Maybe it's just me because I loved Lee Sung Kyung with Nam Joon Hyuk but I just feel like she couldn't create as much chemistry with Ahn Hyoseop. Both their characters were cute together no doubt but I feel like Ahn Hyseop did a better job creating levels in his acting while Cha Eun Jae's character was a little stiffer especially during that final kiss scene in the staff room. It kinda made me think that Cha Eun Jae isn't really needed in the next season WHICH I HOPE HAPPENS. I was so happy to see Dr. Do in beom!!! You could see how much his character has evolved just by the way he was so openly caring for Kim Sabu. I love the back and forth between Seo Woo Jin and Do In Beom, the surgery they did together just made me want to see their characters and the rest of the old and new cast together in season 3 EVEN MORE as if that was possible. Basically, I need a season 3, with the way things ended I see so much potential with what could happen in their future!! The new seasons leads (no sure about Cha Eun Jae by the way things seemed by the end) + the old cast and Kim Sabu!! I need to see Seo Woo Jin's character working with Kang Dong Jo and ideally Cha Eun Jae with Yun Seo Jeong + In beom + main ER staff + Kim Sabu in the ER = EPIC season 3!!!!

I really liked this drama. Maybe I'm a bit bias because my two fav K actors are the leads of the shows but I do also like the storyline a lot. I like dramas that have more to the storyline than the love story of the main characters which I think this show does pretty well in creating. The storyline does get confusing at points during the shows because of the whole parallel worlds thing I think the overarching story is pretty strong and compelling. The romance between Gon and Tae-eoul is really beautiful and has made me full-on ugly cry multiple times during the show (especially all the reuniting and waiting for each other scenes). There are many cute and funny interaction between the characters which I loved. The cinematography of this show is reallyyyyyyyy good so even if u are unsure about the story you should at least watch it for the great visuals, especially the Tae-eoul rescue scene which legit made my heart flutter cuz it was so impactful to show the characters and their love. I wish the ending was more impactful thought it was still sweet. Overall I think everyone should watch this. ALSO I think the cast was chosen very well cuz everyone, including the actors playing smaller roles, fit their characters very well.

I loved this show!! The script was great and was engaging throughout the show. The show was a great mix of romance, action, and hints of good comedy. It's a great drama for people who like a story that has a meaningful love story but also has a deeper bigger plot surrounding the characters. The actors did a really great job and their chemistry was AMAZING!! I might be a little bias but Ji Chang-Wook is one of the best actors for action roles and Park Min-Yong has amazing acting skills which made her so freaking lovable. This was my first JCW drama and I think thanks to this show I'm about to binge-watch his other dramas too now haha. I think PMY's acting also shone through in this show, it's my second show of hers. I saw her in "Secretary Kim" too but didn't find her as appealing, I think because it was her first fluffy rom-com drama tho I'm not sure, BUT I loved her in this show so much!! The little scenes where they showed the younger versions of the actors or where they showed the members of the broadcasting station were really impactful. I think the actor who played PMY's mother also did a great job of delivering her emotions. Welp, I'm kinda sad I finished the drama but I'll probs watch it again. I highlight recommend it to everyone, even if they don't find it compelling they should at least watch it to see the amazing action sequences by JCW haha !!

I loved the storyline and plot of this show!!!! The acting skills of the leads really shone through because of all the deep and emotional scenes. I also LOVEDDD the relationship they showed between IU's character and the characters of the different princes, those scenes were so wholesome. Everyone had a different type of special connection of Hae Soo but all of them loved her and cared for her which was adorable and heartwarming (especially the birthday party scene!!). Initially, I wanted her to end up with Wook but the way the writers made us slowly fall in love with her and Wang So's relationship was really smart and well written. I LOVED watching their love story progress. Wang So's character was also really different and interesting, he was lowkey very obsessive but I think it was justifiable because of his past. OUFFF the last few episodes seriously made my heart hurt, I probably cried at least twice in each of the episodes but the ending made me bawl my eyes out after everything they went through they couldn't be together (ToT). Kinda mad but also felt bad for the king tbh but even especially during that last scene in the painting 😭As much as I wanted a happy ending for them I think this was the right way to end it and the most impactful one BUT I WISH the writers showed the king reincarnate and meet Soo that day in the exhibition!!! because the king's last most impactful worlds were that he will find her. I LOVED THIS SHOW AND GOT WAYY TO INVESTED FOR MY OWN GOOD BUT I ALSO DO NOT REGRET IT AT ALL. ITS A GREAT SHOW THAT ANY KDRAMA ENTHUSIANCE (especially those who love the romance genre) SHOULD WATCH FOR SURE!!
