Hospital Playlist ep 4.

IK Sun what the hell?
Usually I can take the whole noble idiocy thing as just a common trope, but not here. I’m not sure they can come back well from this if they want the two to be end game. How is that the response to the comment that she might be being selfish in the relationship? On paper I like this couple. Both around 40 and very successful and committed to their careers , but it isn’t working here for me. Also, maybe because Kyung Jung ho is playing it so believable as this person who is taking next steps in his life including wanting to be in a very committed relationship.

    in another drama i can take noble idiocy in my stride, but coming from HP and this couple, it felt annoyingly off & stupid.

      Yes, I’d rather if she felt the assessment from her brother was true she’d just call him up and ask, “How’d your day go? Tell me everything.” Less dramatic but way more satisfying.

    This is exactly where I am with this couple. Was she trying to give him one less thing to worry about? Is she actually in to someone else? I have a vague memory of her sending the couple ring back and lying about it because she didn’t want to be that serious. But I could be making that up. Did she already know that shes sick and she didn’t want to be another thing for him to worry about?
    I also feel some kind of way about them keeping it from IkJun for so long that they are in a relationship. I get holding off a few weeks but once they knew they were SERIOUS and dropping I love yous here and there and everywhere it feels disrespectful to him. Like neither of them love and respect IkJun as much as they say.

      I’m reading it as noble idiocy and now a double dose with her sickness.
      I think with the ring there was a mix up with the delivery and it got sent back and she just told him to hold on to it. It always made me a little sad to see him wear his and know she didn’t have hers.
      Yes, I honestly thought Ikjun knew this whole time and so it didn’t really hit me until he was on the phone how big the secret had become.

        You’re probably right and Im not. Remembering correctly since I didnt rewatch season 1 but I thought she got the ring in the mail, opened it up and looked at amd decided she didnt want the commitment and pretended that she didnt get it and the whole thing with him getting the box mailed back to him because no one was there was a lie. But I MUST be remembering that wrong because they would have brought it up in some fashion by now. I have to let it go because Ive been lowkey irritated with her over this!

        About the ring – i always forget it’s Junwan’s/Iksun’s but keep on wondering if it’s the actual couple ring of KH & Sooyoung 😅

    Honestly, it’s the issue with long distance relationship. You don’t want to worry the other so you keep secrets making things worse. But she’s keeping a lot of things. She could have been more open about her roomate, telling he’s the guy but JW doesn’t have to be worried about him. She didn’t tell about the accident to her brother and JW only knew by chance. She didn’t tell to JW about her liver. And now she broke up, she let her brother know about the relationship without warning JW… I mean she really thought her brother was so stupid and won’t understand ?

    I wouldn’t call this noble idiocy at all. It’s outright selfishness that she cares more about herself than anything else – and I wouldn’t know what to trust from the ring return to the room mate. Of course, we could be biased because we only see JW’s sufferings.
