The characters in Hospital Playlist were smart, multifaceted and layered. Their relationships were interesting and well, adult...not to mention their relatives and family friends. You were watching young brilliant people coping with work, love and rare leisure time.

The foursome in this show are well...idiots...at least at first. You have the inept guy, the stereotyped robo-girl, who has no emotional connection or empathy with patients, the bratty fashion girl who is addicted to shopping and the last girl who is somewhat boy crazy. There is a ridiculous head doctor whose over-the-top abusiveness serves no purpose except for entertainment I guess, and adding drama. In addition, there's an evil witchy doctor...change the "w" to a "b".

I stuck with it and grew to like the lead female who turns out to be the most appealing of the four. The romance she has with her brother-in-law's brother is sweet although at times a little too innocent. Definitely rated G.

I am certain there are some who can't get through the first episode because it comes off as rather juvenile... but stick with it. It can be emotionally touching and funny at times.

Unlike Japanese drama, Korean drama has A LOT of yelling at others. It is something you just get used to after a while, but it is not so bad in this series.

The five Hospital Playlist star doctors all make cameo appearances. That was a delight to see!!

It is rare for me to just stop watching a show after a few episodes. I tried. I know some other people who also could not make it, some after only 2 episodes. There are many other Korean shows to watch, this is one you should skip. The reason, of course, is that the main character is so repulsive that after a while, you want her to rot in hell :) She's never funny, she's never cute. Her soldier, well not very likable either (and I loved her in Miss Day and Night).

The side bar of humor are the animals adjusting to heaven, missing their masters or otherwise suffering from abuse and neglect. After a while, that gets tiresome.

It is all somewhat repetitive and very inconsistent. You get these flying blue things for being violent or hostile and after receiving five (or is it six?), off to hell you go. So when they return from hell, the mrs. And her soldier still threaten and bully and yet nothing happens to them. You would think they would be sent back to hell right away...nope.

Maybe the characters find redemption later or whatever. Other reviewers said they did not like the ending. The beginning and middle were bad enough...I am not hanging around for yet a bad ending. I got through about 5 episodes and went on to a much better series.

The shows tries to be something important with even some squid game violence but alas...not good.

This movie is a satire of a phenomenon that occurs in Japanese culture. Like most Asian shows, it is based on a Manga story. Yes, he is a dweeb and you have to accept that as part of the writing. Usually male leads in these shows are model good-looking. However, in this one, you are getting a kind of Jerry Lewis. The characters in the show are all colorful. The satire is played up well. I found it to be very entertaining and the cast dancing at the end of the episodes adds to the fun.

The lead is a big pop star in real life and just does a stupendous job in this role. The main song with the whole cast dancing at the end of each episode became a big hit for him. You can find the music video.

The two leads met on this show and were married in real life. Unfortunately, at this writing there seems to have been a TMZ type scandal and there is speculation whether they are still together. Well, enough gossip for now!
