Well where to begin with I have so many good things to say... I have loved all past shin PD nim drama's and I can proudly say that this even beats reply 1988 for me !
*it obviously has the best direction and story with the whole hit of nostalgia. It will warm your heart and inspire you.
*All the actors are very well experienced and truly deserve all the appreciation and love, from acting flawlessly to playing band performance in every epiode . They are so Passionate and hard working - took such short time to learn and ace the instruments . The drama also gave us JEON MIDO -a well renowned musical actress with the most beautiful voice.
*Since it's a slice of life drama you would definitely resonate with one or more character's and the various relationships depicted in it.
*The director and writer are known for crafting beautiful stories for every single character and trust me you will love each and every character.
*The friendship between the lacking 5 is very strong, we are used to seeing childhood and teenage friendship but in this drama you'll see how their friendship which is almost 20 years old is so very well developed and matured with time even at the age of 40 when they all have such hectic life. Life can truly be delightful even if you are in your 40's .
*I have never been this emotionally attached to a drama , all the characters actually felt like my lifelong friends. It's like you are a part of their world. There are funny moments where you'll literally laugh out your lung out and some really delicate and emotional moments where you won't be able to stop crying . This drama makes me feel so good at many different levels.
*Even though it's a medical drama but it's not too much focused on it rather it shows you the very real image of doctors, how humanly they try to ease the patients pain be it physically or emotionally .
*Love and romance is also a part but it's done in the right wayand in the right amount so you'll actually ship all the couples like crazy. It's so very realistic and heart melting . (Do watch ik jun's confession in epiosode 10)
*The ost's are amazing and so are the band performance by mido and parasol ❤️ all the old songs are recrafted , trust me you will love all of them.
*The last performance by the band really made me cry , I don't know how I will survive a year without them but this is life - you need to wait for the good time to come. Do listen to their last ost and wait for a year .
Please watch HOSPITAL PLAYLIST it's truly one of a kind.
