Doctor Slump

It's been a while since we had A list stars in a rom com. So it's wonderful to have the 2 pretty Parks back from thriller genre to this type of series. And these 2 are in their element here. Sparkling chemistry that is always pleasant never painful. Romantic comedy with lots of comedy.

The story starts off involving with both their respective career crises. She with a nasty boss and he with a malpractice suit. Immediately they get our sympathies. Funny flashbacks of them as students. And luckily they are still young enough to play themselves as teens. Their also is her funny family that is always in their business headed by Jang Hye Jin of CLOY and Parasite. The humour is spontaneous and laugh out loud funny. And it is touching the way they help each other.

One faults is they seem to encourage drinking alcohol to feel better. Quite wrong for people on meds for psychiatric problems. Hope it wasn't product placement by the alcohol industry.

The issues with his friends are quite realistic.

Recently K rom coms have lacked either a really funny story or uniformly top notch casting. This is a welcome return back to the funny and well cast shows of the past. Good thing no silly love triangles and other done to death cliches. Its mostly enjoyable. The last few episodes ran out of steam. Should have ended earlier.

This series is outstanding, it tackles about mental health. There's a lot of learnings that you can get from the series. It's very relatable to those who are doing everything just to build their career, and those who are experiencing burn out and depression. It's very timely and relevant. The actors are very good in portraying their characters. The chemistry is there. It also talks about family. The first two episodes are very interesting, I was crying and laughing at the same time. The characters of the sorry really resonates on my experiences. I am super excited and I can't wait to watch the upcoming episodes. Kudos to the production team and the writer of this piece.

Each and everyone needs a healthy mind and body, so we will be able to face life's adversities. It affects all of us, rich or poor, young or old etc. But it is how we face our trials and tribulations that is most important. Recognizing, accepting and doing something right. Asking professional help, having good support from family and friends. We cannot just stand alone. Life's problems will always be there and every time we solve one life gets better. Beautifully and very well performed and portrayed by the all actors. To the director, writer and all the staff, a job well done! Best wishes! Congratulations!!! It is a very heartwarming and educational Korean TV series.

" To the whole world, let us not forget MENTAL HEALTH"

I had 9 stars worth of interest in Dr. Slump until this weekend, when episodes 7 & 8 were aired by Netflix USA. Ouch. The Romance vector is implausibly slow in that the female lead had already confessed to "quasi-romantically liking" "Dr. Rooftop" (they've held hands on a windswept beach and had a multitude of emotional confessions) yet in episode 8 she is suddenly bizarrely retro-ambivalent. Seriously, she's pushing 30, yet she seems to equate handholding to sexual intimacy. (Like she's spent the last 20 years ain a convent.) Also whenever any of the female actors get drunk, which happens way too often in eps. 7 and 8, they often become outrageously physically abusive to male characters. I find those drunken party scenes downright strange, and the level of acting in them falls between unconvincing and atrocious.
