What a lovely, comforting show.

I gotta admit; the first two episodes are super confusing because there are so many characters (including the five main leads and all the residents/nurses/interns) and they're all in different medical departments. BUT KEEP WATCHING because by episode three, you get a clearer grasp on everyone's character motivations and backstories and it's so worth it.

I loved the relationship between the five main leads; they have such a cute origin story and their relationship felt so funny and authentic. All the show's romances and ships draw you in and make you root for them. Hospital Playlist does a great job balancing serial and procedural storylines; there are the usual medical cases of the week along with compelling season-long arcs. Be prepared to cry, particular with the cases of the week; this isn't one of those doctor shows where the patients always survive. But also be prepared to laugh and swoon as the main characters joke, fall in love, and find themselves. (Side note: the kid who plays U-ju is seriously the cutest child ever).

Definitely well worth a binge-watch!
