Reasons Why You SHOULD Watch Hospital Playlist

This isn't your typical drama because all the genre you can think of about life is literally put together into this funny, beautiful, heart wrenching (I am literally lost for words) drama. Plus the characters are just so amazing!

But I think the one unifying theme of the drama is ADULTING 101

Ahn Jeong Won taught me compassion, passion, and empathy. He's a dream doctor for every patient and a dream boyfriend (lol). But seriously speaking, Jeong Won taught and made me realize that sometimes, one person cam literally change your plan.

I think adulting might mean letting go and accepting plans you have for yourself. Because you'll never know what tomorrow holds.

Kim Jun Wan taught me a different level of maturity in handling a relationship (though I haven't had any lol but still) because he showed me that being an adult might mean that you'll have to extend and expand your understanding and become less angry.

He also made me realize that even a jerk at work like him have a soft spot. He's the kind of person who will understand his significant other for as long as he can selflessly. And that is something.

Lee Ik Jun is definitely one heck of a friend. I think he's literally the most perfect character among them. He knows the right kind of blend in life, family, friends, colleagues, and even patients.

He knows more than anyone. He can see through everyone and knows when and not to speak. He's such a good friend.

Chae Song Hwa is literally the brain of the group. The boys were able to survive because she balances them well. She proved that with intellect comes humility. She was so calm and collected.

She made me realized that maybe being an adult means lesser dramatic reactions and more rational ones. Also, she has an amazing time management skills!

Yang Seok Hyeong is reserved and bottled up. He's the type of person who will not talk to anyone. He'd rather stay alone in his room or office but he made me realized that even quiet ones like him will open up to the right people.

Seok Hyeong I think is the most miserable one among them because he's too considerate. I am still waiting for his character development.

Another reason to watch this drama aside from the characters is the amazing friendship they have. This drama taught me that with the right kind of friends, you'll never feel alone no matter how hard life could get. This is a good drama that would make you miss your squad who never fails to support you.

And lastly, the music scoring and the band theme is so lit! I love how no matter how busy these people are, they can still find time to practice. Lee Ik Jun's voice is so amazing. Well all of them actually (well except Song Hwa but she's happy anyway so nvml lol)

So if you want to watch a drama with all the genre you can think of (medical, friendship, slice of life, thrill, music, and etc.), I suggest you watch this 12 episodes of Hospital Playlist and let's all wait for another season next year!!!

hospital playlist is an art piece of carefully curated moments that capture the casual essence of life’s daily bustle, and yet draw out the soft starkness of emotion that can’t quite be contained, spilling beyond the screen.

ik-jun and song-hwa’s relationship is beautifully and honestly written. their closeness was first illustrated with fleeting moments one would overlook - random check-ins with each other after work, banter together with the others, and little jabs here and there. i loved how the drama withheld this little secret depth of their intimacy until later, which perfectly shows the dynamic they have: friendship has always been the first, and the foremost, foundation of what they are.

the last half of the drama, however, portrays intense moments - the achingly tense silence settling like a layer in the lift after a seemingly banal conversation (which reveals more than it should from ik-jun’s insistent focus on his phone and that casual skinship! when he presses against her side comfortably), and the pacing of the dinner confession scene which left me holding my breath, wide eyed. ik-jun’s quiet admiration and adoration of song-hwa is conveyed without loud flashy noise or extravagant gestures. he’s held the core of his appreciation for her deep inside and kept it burning, without letting it consume their friendship.

the subtlety of ik-jun’s behaviour speaks volumes. the shift of his expression, a shade duller, when song-hwa absently comments on chi-hong’s qualities, the smile turned frozen during chi-hong’s admission of his feelings for song-hwa, the tender tone and soft eyes when he asks songhwa to eat breakfast.

and how can i forget the confession scene? but song-hwa’s reactions confuse me (in a good way). throughout the drama, song-hwa has always been hard to read. she’s cast as a ‘perfect person’, and in many ways, she is, but never stereotypically. her easy humour and frank modesty interweaves with the concealed complexity of her decisions. she resists interpretation, keeping her private core protected. when ik-jun hints at his deep enjoyment of her company, her gaze flickers - just those few moments of being suspended in surprise, before releasing herself from it. when ik-jun admits “of course i have” during the dinner scene, her face conveys a strange mix of disappointment, thoughtful reflection and stillness. the drama doesn’t dwell on romanticised ideals though, quickly following with the scene in the cab; an almost cliched but fluttery picture with song-hwa resting her eyes on ik-jun, who rests on her shoulder. but the moment slides by when she tsks and shrugs him off, and not too gently either. those two opposing forces — of a 20-year friendship and the lingering afterthought of the possibility that there could have been more — they weave in together and can’t be separated.

that deep respect and understanding he holds towards her, the way he always gives her enough space to breathe, the way he balances showing her his affection and yet withdraws when he thinks anything might strain their bond ... that. it looks a lot like love; a selfless love, hemmed in with friendship, and sustained by the small moments of companionship that ik-jun treats himself with.
