Salty and sweet Park Hyung-shik, Park Shin-hye in Doctor Slump

What does JTBC need to do to sell this Park Hyung-shik (Our Blooming Youth) and Park Shin-hye (Sisyphus) rom-com? Nothing, that’s what. This puppy sells itself. Just watch the teaser.

Doctor Slump tells the story of two doctors going through slumps in their personal and professional lives. Yeo Jung-woo (Park Hyung-shik) is a renowned plastic surgeon whose career is being wrecked by a malpractice suit, and Nam Ha-neul (Park Shin-hye) is a burnt out and disillusioned anesthesiologist who has only invested in her career. Once rivals as students, the two now meet again at their low points and… you know the drill. It involves tropes like tending wounds and beach frolicking.

Our newest teaser turns up the chemistry between them, with quick cuts of cute moments. Jung-woo says that while his life is pure salt right now, Ha-neul is the sweetness in the middle of it. And as for Ha-neul, her voiceover says that the two re-met during the worst periods of their lives. The rest is just K-drama magic.

With PD Oh Hyun-jong (The One and Only) at the helm (who also worked on Find Me in Your Memory and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo) and screenwriter
Baek Sun-woo (who worked on My Roommate Is a Gumiho and You Who Forgot Poetry) on the scripts — well, it’s going to be hard for them to mess this one up. It has all the things going for it. Doctor Slump premieres on JTBC on January 27, and will stream on Netflix.

Bonus: Netflix also released their official teaser cut for the series.

Tropey, sweet, and Park Hyung Sik stitched together by people who made Weight lifting fairy and What’s wrong with Sec Kim - you better not go wrong, drama. I’m already camping. If Netflix wants to amp my subscription this would be the time 😂

Okay, if this realizes its promise, I'm already saying 2024 has a lot of potential. In fact, if it is even as good as King the Land, I'm looking forward to 2024.

If, on the other hand, its a disaster, I swear from now on I will only watch tragic sageuks, and flood Dramabeans commentary with how these shows are terrible, because they show the sword blade sharpened on the left side, which is historically inaccurate!

In all seriousness, my biggest disappointments of 2023 were shows that sounded like they were going to be light, not overly tear-filled, with two people overcoming not too difficult barriers, falling in love, and being happy together at the end, instead turning either into misery-laden slog fests or violent trauma sprees. I really hope this show sets a 2024 standard for truth in advertising!

Oh, but can't we pleeeze have Sang-do start to go just a tiny bit postal on Jeju? 제발? Because the look on his face at the end of episode 10 of Sam-Wookie got me a little excited about the prospect... 😁

You are right, this would only be fitting, a suitable end for this probing drama exploring the deep pain and hidden conflicts that lie behind the scenic beauty and surface harmony of the tiny community of Samdal-ri ,on the provincial international tourist destination of Jeju Island. It would further advance the question the show is asking: is this village really hell on earth? Like the underworld, Samdal-ri has a Cerberus chained at the center of town, to prevent condemned souls from escaping!

We K-drama viewers live in hope ... that's the only way we survive all the Heart💔Beat type debacles. Also K-dramas have now resorted to bringing us in with the pretty and then wringing our hearts till we have nothing left. So yes like @enriquequierecagar hoping for a boring 2024 with non-boring K-dramas.

This is not going to be available on Netflix US.

I CANNOT believe it.

I called Netflix and they asked me to submit a request, though they do not know if they can make it availble. There is no info on Viki on this either.
