Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim (2016)

Great Drama - But did not need 20+ eps

I only watched this drama so I can watch season 2 but I found myself falling in love with the characters. I loved how real the medical aspects of this drama were. They were very detailed and kept me interested, even made me wish to be a doctor haha. I got attached to all the characters and love the messages of this drama. But I feel like this drama could’ve easily been 16 eps. Some parts were dragged on and others were unnecessary or repetitive. The majority of this drama was watching them operate/help patients which is expected from a medical drama of course and a lot of those scenes were still interesting, but i feel like there was so many of them they almost acted as fillers and added nothing to the overall storyline? making the drama 16 eps wouldve been perfect because i couldnt enjoy the drama fully and had to do a lot of skipping. If i wasn’t watching it for season 2 i probably wouldn’t have finished it. nevertheless i still really enjoyed this show and loved master kim’s acting.

I am not really into medical dramas. I have tried a few before but couldn't finish them. I happened to watch the first episode out of boredome. But in the very first episode a lot of things happened and it made me hooked up with the drama.

I loved the way every episode name is also described through sketch. It was unique.

Every character in this drama is special. Specially Kim sabu. He is the coolest person in this drama. The way he handles every situation is really amazing.

The main leads are so cute. Loved their interactions. Yoo Yeon Seok, oh my my... He just took my heart. That's all I can say.

The way they treat the patient is really exciting. I am not from medical sector. But each the medical cases they handle make me interested in them.

This was the first medical drama that I finished and has become one of my favorite drama.

I watched this drama recently and fell in love to the extend that I immediately started the second season right after I finished the first one.

Crappy soap opera disguised as a medical drama

If you are looking for a medical drama showcasing professional ethics, you won't find it here. The so-called doctors act like hoodlums constantly yelling in front of patients and purposely setting each other up to fail. Instead of writing a story about complex medical issues, the writers proceed to bore us with a trashy soap opera and hospital politics filled with juvenile bickering and medical malpractice. There is also no plot. The show just moves along from one medical emergency to another without a central idea tying everything together. The characters are shallow and unlikable, focused too much on their interpersonal relationships instead of doing their job as doctors, and, there is hardly any romance. Do In Bum could've been interesting, but he is just a prop with no purpose or a personality. The writers do attempt to utilize cliches but they go nowhere. The reason behind Yoon Seo Jung's silly trauma is incredibly asinine and feels like a half-assed attempt to manufacture tension that is pretty much forgotten in later episodes. And, the love rectangle between the main couple, Im Bum, and Woo Yeon Hwa fizzles out as soon as it starts.

The villain is a cookie cutter bad guy with shallow motivations and no coherent reason for any of his actions. He mindlessly tries to destroy Master Kim's career because of some medical mishap over a decade ago and behaves like a petulant child rather than an experienced medical professional in charge of a hospital. Moreover, he has an absurd amount of power for a hospital director who is somehow able to influence the military, press, politicians, and pretty much everyone around him without any explanation why.

I don't understand all of the positive reviews. The show is a marathon of trashy melodrama with no plot or interesting characters. Pass.

Semua kasus medis dijalin ke dalam cerita dengan mulus. Sangat baik dieksekusi. karakter yang hebat. Guru Kim mewujudkan guru lurus yang ingin Anda pelajari, yang telah membuat kesalahan dan telah belajar darinya. Dia adalah mentor bagi para dokter muda di rumah sakit. Dia menginspirasi mereka. Dia juga membela mereka, dalam banyak adegan yang memuaskan.

Saya telah melihat sejumlah drama medis Korea, dan sebagian besar waktu operasi atau kasus medis hanya berfungsi sebagai perangkat plot untuk memindahkan cerita lebih jauh. Lebih sering daripada tidak, sulit untuk diinvestasikan dalam kasus-kasus. Namun, dengan drama ini, setiap kasus medis benar-benar membawa banyak emosi dan drama, karena Anda belajar tidak hanya dari dokter, tetapi juga dari pasien.

Drama ini terutama mengingatkan saya pada masa-masa awal Grey's Anatomy. Banyak hati. Banyak ketegangan. Memuaskan untuk menyaksikan ketika ketidakadilan digulingkan, yang dihadapi para dokter hampir setiap hari.

Romansa, meski ringan dalam drama ini, dilakukan dengan baik untuk realismenya.

Tonton ini jika Anda berminat untuk drama medis dan Anda akan ditarik oleh para dokter di Rumah Sakit Doldam, yang menempatkan menyelamatkan nyawa pasien mereka di atas segalanya, sebagai pahlawan super modern sejati. Bersiaplah untuk meneteskan air mata!

NOT YOUR TYPICAL MEDICAL DRAMA, A GREAT WATCH FROM START TO FINISH

This drama sat in my watchlist for a year. Did not know what the hype was about and did not care, as I am not into medical dramas until I ran out of shows to watch this year. Clicked on it to see if the first episode was interesting enough, and OH MY GOODNESS! This drama is so good, it hit the ground on Episode 1 and kept moving with a strong pace, great acting and medical cases which has a rather different take.

I liked how everything centered around Teacher Kim (Han Seok Kyu) who is highly experienced, steadfast and passionate doctor who was framed for a case not of his doing and left a top medical hospital in Seoul to the countryside Doldam Hospital. There he keeps a really low profile and goes on with his work as Head Surgeon until one by one, doctors like Dr. Yoon Seo Jung (Seo Hyun Jin), Dr. Kang Dong Joo (Yoo Yeon Seok) and Dr. Do Im Bum (Yang Se Jong) somehow through different circumstances land to work in Doldam. Each arrives with own problems, insecurities and arrogance, but Teacher Kim is no pushover, and whips them up one by one, in his own quirky way but with much care and passion.

There is no such thing as a doctor's triple board certification, the way Doldam Hospital is managed with so much doctor's free will, with comings and goings and the medical cases may appear far fetched, but the dramatical effect is worth the effort and really entertaining. The drama was so well written and directed. The love story between Dr. Yoon and Dr. Kang played subtly in the background was well placed. And Dr. Do (Yang Se Jong) was my eye candy, so cool, handsome and good in his role.

20 episodes went by so fast for me, I just could not get enough of this really remarkable drama ........ oh, I see there is a Dr. Romantic 2!!!

*Warning the last paragraph contains spoilers/plot holes*

This is one of the only medical dramas I managed to finish- I dropped 'Emergency Couple' and skipped through episode of 'The Doctors.'
The plot is very interesting and action packed. This drama focuses very little on romance, despite its title. There is a lot to learn from this drama in terms of medical things. I've definitely learned a lot more about hospital life from watching this drama.
Acting was superb from everyone. No OST from what I can remember, mostly instrumental music.

-Spoilers-
There are many plot holes/unanswered questions.
Firstly what the heck happened to Do In Bum and Yeon Hwa? Did they confess to their crush or what?? What about the love triangle with Yeon Hwa, Nurse Park and Kang Dong Joo?
Did director Do remain as director?
What happened to teacher kim trauma project?
What was chairman hiding from teacher kim? why didn't he tell teacher kim after his surgery?
What is going on between that nurse from the main hospital and yoon seo joon ex from 5 years ago? Is the nurse babys father her ex?

Apologies if these were all answered in season 2, I haven't watched it yet~

The medical cases, personal struggles, and moral dilemmas kept me on the edge of my seat, making me emotionally invested in every aspect of the story. "Dr. Romantic" beautifully explores the themes of dedication, compassion, and the complexities of human nature, leaving a lasting impact on my heart. This drama is an absolute must-watch, offering both a thrilling and thought-provoking experience that I'll cherish for a long time.

Great drama

At first I wasn’t plan to watch this drama because I thought it was just gonna be boring and so. But from boring to WOW wasn’t what I expected, this medical drama was probably my 3rd or 4th that I’ve seen and this is the Top Medical Kdrama for me. And it became my Top number 1 drama, This drama made me seen the view of how medical struggles everyday and how much doctors/ nurse / surgeon have to face everyday. Doesn’t matter in emergency room/ surgeon room/ or just from patients. It’s a lot of pressure, because like cops they also put there life on the line to save people, and have to make hard choices. It’s not just the struggle they go through but also teach us the responsibility of a doctor, this drama is about a Doctor who have a heart like gold and a hand of god to save people and most definitely like a fatherly figure to his peers. The plot of the story is truly inspirational and emotional, and the writers did an awesome job, and overall have to say the entire cast was amazing especially the medical team.

Le Docteur Kim n'est pas romantique, mail est idéaliste, c'est bien mieux !

ce que j'en pense ?
Eh bien il rentre directement dans mon top 5 !!
Les points positifs :
L’interprétation, excellente, les principaux comme les secondaires, Han Suk Kyu, je te vénère !!         Déjà je t’aimais beaucoup dans ton rôle du roi Sejong, mais alors là c’est de la passion ! Mais tout le reste de la distribution est à l’avenant, autant ceux qui amènent une touche de comique (bien nécessaire) comme le manager, ou le Dr Song, en parfait lèche-bottes que l’horrible Dr Do !!
le scénario :
Parfait,       pas un temps mort, équilibre maintenu tout du long entre le suspens, le médical pur jus, les sentiments et la psychologie de personnages, les dialogues excellents, la hauteur de vue des idées défendues pat Teacher Kim (surtout ne pas lire « romantique » mais « idéaliste » car pas (ou très peu) de romance et elle est traitée sans aucun des clichés habituels, (et même apporte une touche d’humour avec la jalousie de Dong Jo ! ) et l’amitié et l’estime qui se forgent peu à peu entre les différents personnages sous la présence tutélaire (mais sans concession) du DrKim.
Le médical :
Très soigné, très étudié pour être le plus proche possible de la vraisemblance pour un public quand même non averti, peut-être qu’un vrai chirurgien pousserait les hauts cris, mais moi, j’étais bluffée !!    
la bande son :
Jolies chansons, belle musique d’ambiance et des clins d’œil marrants comme l’arrivée inattendue d’Edith Piaf… pendant une scène de bagarre comique !
Les points négatifs :
Ben y en a pas !!!  Ah ! Si quand même : Il faut bien revenir à la vraie vie des dramas pour admirer la rapidité de déplacement des personnages franchissant en un rien de temps des distances quand même assez considérables… Mais c’est un drama après tout !!    
Au total : Je lui ai mis 10 sur Mydramalist, et je suis sûre de ne pas en enlever à la re-vision dans quelques mois, comme ça arrive parfois quand l’enthousiasme retombe !!


Et pour Romantic Doctor, je redoutais un ajout débile, une fin qui fait tout retomber,et bien pas du tout ! C'est parfait jusqu'au bout et je me surprends même à penser qu'une saison 2 ce serait vraiment bien (pour un drama coréen, c'est une première, pour moi !! )
