Hospital Playlist (2020)

Sin duda uno de mis favoritos

Las series de hospitales y médicos no es algo que me apasione, medicina y todas sus ramificaciones son las carreras que menos me interesan por lo que nunca tuve interés en ver ninguna serie de este tipo, de echo nunca me imagine viendo esta serie pero cierto día que no tenía idea de qué ver, descubrí que "Hospital Playlist" es de la misma creadora de los famosos "Reply" que si bien no he visto todos, ame con mi alma "Reply 1988" así que me dije ¿por qué no? y en definitiva fue la mejor decisión que pude tomar en mi vida.
A pesar de que el drama sigue una dinámica sencilla y que se repite continuamente, con lo de los pacientes, cirugías, problemas y soluciones, nunca aburre, cada historia merece la pena y cada personaje tiene algo que contar y son agradables, reí y llore en muchas ocasiones viendo esto; algunos capítulos duraban cerca de dos horas (creo) pero nunca lo sentí tan largo, era agradable acompañar a los cinco amigos y demás personajes.
Cada actor hizo un trabajo extraordinario y la amistad, como esperaba, fue de las cosas más lindas en este drama.
Me parece increíble la manera en que esta escrito, dirigido y hecho en su totalidad, pues emane mucho optimismo, mis días fueron mucho más felices viendo esta serie. Ame el romance pues todas las parejas eran diferentes pero maduras, lindas y acogedoras.
Con las escenas de la banda la verdad es que al principio se me hacían un poco innecesarias pero no paso mucho para que amara estos momentos, simplemente eran ellos disfrutando tiempo juntos y cuando les veías tocar podías ver lo mucho que se querían el uno al otro y lo mucho que disfrutaban estar juntos, en más de una ocasión envidie su amistad y deseé tener amigos con los que tener una banda.
Todos los capitulos, escenas, personajes, valen la pena; todo, absolutamente todo de este drama es maravilloso y aunque no lo volvería a ver inmediatamente pues aun con lo maravilloso que manejan todo el asunto del hospital y los asuntos médicos, me sigue resultado un poco (muy poco) pesado para volverla a ver enseguida (seguro por mi falta de amor por este tipo de series y que no me gusten los hospitales) pero es una serie a la que amaría regresar en algún futuro solo por el hecho de que sé que me hará feliz y de volver a ver a todo el elenco de este drama que es maravilloso y que me hará sentir como si volviese a ver viejos amigos de los que pude aprender mucho.

Healing the World with Music (and also, like, actual doctor stuff)

First things first: learn from my mistake, and DO NOT binge watch Hospital Playlist. I know you, binge-watchers. I am you. As soon as you've got a grip on the plot and you've figured out your favourite storylines, you've got one finger hovering over the 10-second-skip button. Because who has the time to spend a full day watching doctors going about their daily lives, occasionally stopping to sing in their wee garage band? Not me. You watch the friends-to-lovers, the highly competent doctors goofing around with each other, the occasional patient success story, skippity skip through the 'boring' bits. You finish the final episode and it's okay, great, maybe, but isn't there something missing? Why?

Because Hospital Playlist is not the show for that. Hospital Playlist is a show that washes over you, slowly, until you feel completely assimilated into the environment, until the characters are your old med school buddies (yes, even though you studied English Lit). It is a show whose magic lies in the littlest interactions, the characters built up through seemingly irrelevant dialogues with patients and colleagues. It is a show that reminds you there is good in the world, despite everything. That people are still kind, despite everything. Not because of any thrilling plot or grand love story, but through the genuine love and kindness expressed by just about every character in the show.

Hospital Playlist is a rare show which leaves you wanting to be a better person. To hold your loved ones a little tighter, not out of fear but out of gratitude; gratitude that you get to be alive as you are, just laughing and eating and breathing by their side. Hospital Playlist reminds us that life's not about the big things. It's about love. About giving and receiving and giving some more. No matter how bad things can sometimes seem, Hospital Playlist tells us that as long as you have your people, your kindness for others, your love for the world, well, that's a pretty good life indeed.

Pleasantly nice drama

Since it's a hospital drama, I expected it to have hospital politics and lots of surgeries. But this drama had very few hospital politics, and instead of the surgeries, it depended mostly on the conversation of the information to the guardians about the patients. This is where it differs from the other hospital dramas. Moreover, this drama focuses more on the 5 long-time friends and the rest of the time, it's just about the other doctors and doctors-to-be, along with their romantic life. Overall, it was a nice watch, considering all the funny moments to the tone-deaf singer to all those munching moments.

Hospital Playlist Is Like a Warm Blanket On a Cold Night!

There have been a number of "hospital shows" over the years. And yet, with so many, Hospital Playlist is unique. Why? Because it sticks with its strengths: chemistry between the five leads and staying away from the typical hospital politics.

Instead, Hospital Playlist is about people. It's about how we, as people, can endeavor to treat others just a little bit better; to put ourselves in the other person's shoes rather than resort to snap judgments. If you remember Patch Adams, you'll find that--for these five doctors at Yuji Medical Center--the people matter more than the disease or injury. In other words, it no longer pays to be indifferent and to block out natural emotions.

Hospital Playlist is actually a fairly light show. Yes, it has some tense moments, but overall, it never gets bogged down in melodrama. Instead, it relies upon the unique chemistry of the five doctors who've known each other since medical school. And once a month, they get together and sing a song. Hence, the Hospital Playlist.

Each doctor specializes in a certain field. First we have Ik-Jun, who is a general surgeon but specializes in the liver and liver transplants. He's the lead singer of the group, and in many ways, he's the glue of the group. He's the first to crack a joke or do something humorous to lighten the tension. And Jung-Suk Jo is masterful at this! He's got as much talent for comedy as he does for singing. He never takes things too seriously. His job is important, but treating his staff and his patients with respect is always of utmost importance to him.

Next we have. Song Hwa who is a neurosurgeon. She's kind, dedicated, and a bit of a workaholic. HIlariously enough, she's someone who THINKS she can sing, but she can't. Actress Jeon Mi Do is actually a professional singer, so to see her purposely sing out of tune is impressive.

Seok Hung is the somewhat aloof but dedicated gynecologist in obstetrics. He's every bit as caring about his patients and staff even though it's not always obvious.

Jun Wan is the brilliant cardiologist who can appear cold but to characterize him this way would be a disservice. Underneath the tough exterior is a man with a heart who believes that hard work and dedication is a key to success.

Last, but certainly not least, we have Jeon Wong Ahn, the professor of pediatrics. Nurses and parents alike adore him for his unique way of handling children. He relates with them. He talks with them, and he never sees them as just another patient.

There are many touching and heartfelt moments throughout the series as we journey along with them through the days, weeks, months, and even years. Don't be surprised if you find yourself shedding a few tears one moment and then roaring out loud with laughter in the next. That's the Hospital Playlist. In the end, it provides comfort. It provides hope that people can still treat each other with respect, with compassion, and with empathy.

If you're a music lover, you'll find a cache of great songs, all sung and performed by the characters. At the end of each episode of Hospital Playlist, we are reminded not to take life so seriously. We're reminded that life is supposed to be joyous and fun.

At some point, I will definitely want to re-watch this great series. So, if you're looking for something that is light, with many feel-good moments, as well as many hilarious ones, I'm sure you love Hospital Playlist!

If you love friendship then you'll find it hard to not love this kdrama, Bet you 100 MDL coins!

I originally wrote the below as a message to my friend Seori. Then I thought it could be a review too.

Jeon Mi Do's ​Hospital Playlist 1 & 2 are very close to my heart, it was the setting in which I fell in love with her as an artist. I love the entire cast and their characters, especially the five leads, their friendship, everyday problems, laughs, normalness, weirdness! Takes me back to the good old college days when I had multiple friends who I enjoyed spending my youth with! It reminds me of the heartfelt moments we share with friends, some moments that we would perhaps take to our graves, I mean not in a grim or sad skeleton, imagine a happy skeleton that reminisces the bright and warm moments he/she shared before getting on the coffin (the skeleton dude must however get lonely once he goes to the coffin ^^).

Now coming to the actual review below.

Note that each of the stars here is more than capable of leading a powerful kdrama. But what happens when thy get together and live as the Hospital playlist characters is pure magic! The chemistry and the vibes are impeccable! I'd say this is like the korean version of the iconic English TV series 'FRIENDS' for me. Perhaps I love Jeon Mi Do more than I love Monica from FRIENDS. Don't take it wrong, this is not a comedy genre kdrama. It has a mix, MDL genres & tags would do justice in better capturing that! Moving on, I think the way the everyday normal lives of a Hospital bunch of staff, their hobby to sing together is screen played & directed here, is pure gold! Don't expect to get a peak of what it feels to be a doctor or a Hospital staff. This kdrama is one to be cherished, non judgmentally. Go with not expecting anything and just take it in. Trust me there's only good vibes here!

Drama medis biasa suka memuliakan dokter. kebanyakan dari mereka hanya menangani keadaan darurat medis serba cepat yang membuat orang berlari, berteriak dan berkelahi satu sama lain hanya untuk melakukan operasi.
tapi ini, ini menunjukkan sisi nyata dari kehidupan rumah sakit. mereka memiliki pasien yang tidak tahu berterima kasih, "Saya melihat ini di google jadi saya tahu lebih banyak dari Anda", "Anda HARUS menyelamatkan keluarga saya", orang-orang yang menyalahkan dokter atas kematian yang tak terhindarkan, pasien yang tidak sabar menunggu untuk diperiksa, komplikasi dari operasi, menunggu donor, semuanya!

seperti buku pedoman penjara, beberapa eps pertama terasa lambat dan terburu-buru pada saat yang sama, mereka memberi kami banyak karakter dan kemudian mengambil waktu mereka untuk memperkenalkan mereka, jadi pada awalnya saya merenungkan apakah saya harus menjatuhkannya atau tidak, tetapi segera kenyataan dari karakter, persahabatan mereka, jenis hubungan yang berbeda, membuatku terpesona di samping keterhubungan mereka..

Lee Ik Jun tampak seperti orang gila yang riang tapi dia manis, perhatian dan ramah bahwa dia berteman dengan semua orang dan dia tahu segalanya
Ahn Jung Won terlihat naif dan pelupa tapi dia lembut dengan anak-anak dan memiliki hati yang besar
Kim Jun Wan terlihat dingin, menakutkan tapi dia tegas dan memberitahu orang-orang apa yang mereka perlu dengar
Yang Suk Hyung tidak dihargai! terutama oleh teman-temannya dan semua orang berpikir dia egois tapi dia adalah kekasih sejati dan inti dari persahabatan itu.
Chae Song Hwa terlihat seperti wanita modern yang ideal, tapi dia adalah marshmallow setelah kamu mengenalnya.

ini membuat saya menangis, tertawa, frustrasi, berhubungan, fangirl, dan merasa cemburu di setiap episode. Saya menyukai sesi jam mereka dan ostnya bagus, dan saya tidak pernah menonton ulang hal-hal tetapi saya membutuhkan s2 sekarang!

When I tell you this drama is what the word "healing" means, I am not exaggerating. It's a slice-of-life drama with a group of doctors that have been friends since college. This drama made me feel all emotions and pretty much made me cry every episode. It tells stories of a lot of patients that each doctor gets and they're all so emotional and make you think a lot about moral values. This drama even got the comedic aspect perfect. The characters, main and sub, all have hilarious moments throughout the episodes. And don't even get me started on the band scenes. Watching the band scenes makes me feel pure happiness and my mouth gets dry because of the smile on my face. I still listen to the OSTs and I would totally rewatch it until I die.

A quando la prossima stagione?? ♡

Avete mal di testa? Stress? Stanchezza fisica e mentale? La cura a tutti i mali esiste e si chiama Hospital Playlist!
Benvenuti su questa isola felice dove tutto (o quasi) va bene, dove si ride, ci si emoziona, ci si rattrista. Dove tutti vi coinvolgeranno nel loro lavoro che non ha mai fine, nella vita di tutti i giorni, nella loro spontaneità. Non si può dire che il drama sia avvincente, spettacolare, pieno di colpi di scena. È una camomilla da vedersi prima della nanna. Credo stia in questo il successo. Ho trovato tutti i personaggi diversi l'uno dall'altro, coinvolgenti, capaci di essere la pillola felice post lavoro, il perfetto antistress. Cinque amici che nonostante il lavoro praticato riescono a ritagliare momenti per stare insieme, per suonare insieme. Infatti ogni episodio si conclude con una canzone a tema, suonata proprio da loro. Non lasciatevi spaventare dalla durata degli episodi: una volta immersi, non ve ne accorgerete.
Unica pecca piccina picciò: un po' più dramma non sarebbe guastato. I momenti lacrimosi non mancheranno perché si parla anche di malattie infantili, tumori, morti. Il tutto trattato molto bene.
Non dimentichiamoci delle varie citazioni che colpiscono al cuore, come ad esempio Harry Potter.

Slice-of-life, mellow vibe

Plot: Story revolves around 5 amazing doctors in their own department and random stories of every patient they encounter to teach the viewers how to value life, respect others and how things work in the hospital. As a nurse, I can truly relate to most of the patients reactions/struggles included in the drama and how these 5 doctors handled them.

Acting: Most of them did great in giving life to their characters. My least favorite doctor is Dr. Jang. Although the acting was passable, the way they represented her character was rather, dull and un-doctor like despite being a resident in the hospital for 3 years. I felt like she never learned anything in those three years and acted like a newbie most of the time. The med students actually did better than her.

Music: Aloha and one summer drive are my two favorites. I just can't stop myself from jiving along even though i don't the lyrics. Haha! The cymbals sound at the end of every episode was a good touch. I kinda get why the title is "Hospital Playlist", because as I watch more episodes, I felt like I was listening to a podcast or a radio in the car, just with visuals.

Re-wactch Value: It's not a rewatchable type of drama for me but it has a lot of cute and funny moments that others might want to watch again.

Overall: The directing of the drama is quite different from the usual kdramas so some may not be able to relate or understand the intention of the series, others may think it's boring. However, I love the message and the attack of 'Hospital Playlist'. There were some scenes that confused me and ended up being nothing and there were also scenes that you think might have a surprise but unanswered at the end of the episode. It was quite unpredictable yet predictable. It also showed the difference of people in their 20's, 30's, 40's and oldies.
Things I like: How friendship between men and women are normalize. Mature takes on relationships. Treasuring our lives and second chances don't always happen to everyone so we must learn how to value it. Being grateful that we are not in the same position as the patients and if we are, it teaches us how to be patient, compassionate, understanding and accepting on things that we can't control.
Aside from the usual product promotion, I think the series encourages people to take care of their health and also donate organs(from brain dead patients or as a will) as it can help others who are in need. It was quite emphasized a few times which can be thought-provoking to some. All in all, it was binge-able for me despite it's flat moments. 8-8.5 stars.
