Doctor Slump

Didn't expect that this series would be so good!!!! It tackles mental health, depression, which are a sensitive topic to some especially here in our country. Getting checked by a psychiatrist doesn't mean that you are crazy.

Park ShinHye and Park Hyung Sik's chemistry is unexpected. But I feel giddy every time they have their "moment". You can feel their emotions and feelings through their gaze and they don't need to speak to tell what they are feeling. They are both really good artists.

Recommending this series to everyone! My husband who is not so with kdramas liked it also! We watched 8 episodes in 1 sitting! Hehe. We were so hooked!

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"

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.

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.

Started off ok - a bit cliché-ridden but good performances by main cast and side players. Credibility straining as time went in and it had really fun out of plot by episode 8.

Many of the flashbacks served no purpose and the supporting actors live story was actually more interesting than that if the main characters.

Notable tropes include: several wrist grabs, at least two accidental swoons, several wake-ups in the wrong place after drinking, a premature death of a parent, a hospital stay with an unidentifiable IV drip and numerous occasions of going out to eat after the characters have just eaten

Nice directing and camera work certainly helped move this along but, if you're after a good drama with a well-written plot then look elsewhere.
