For me, the event that becomes the trigger for the ML's problems ends up being just that. It was such an interesting mystery & it went nowhere - just a plot device that was never woven back in.

Also, the depiction of depression was superficial. I could have forgiven that because what can you do in a few episodes, but it barely interfered in their relationship. Both people going through their own difficult times & also trying to forge a relationship should have gone through a lot more trouble.

I think it was done to show depression & to destigmatize therapy & taking meds & to give people hope, which I think it accomplished, but because it tried to keep things light, it felt shallow to me. Also, much of the comedy felt forced when I know both leads are good at comedy.

Also, I was really disappointed in the Netflix subtitles. They are always worse than Viki, but they missed entire sentences.

And the sound quality was not great either.

Compared to other Netflix kDramas, this felt neglected.

Doctor Slump
(2024 - Netflix, 16 1:05 eps)

High expectations resulted in disappointment. A very bland mystery could have either been finished quickly or gone crazy. The ML's parents were mentioned briefly, but that went nowhere. The writing was not well done.

Park Hyung Sik wasn't playing a character - it was just him - so some deep emotional scenes felt out of place. The chemistry was lacking. The FL's brother stole the show with his acting - he was terrific! And the 2nd couple was great.

It was a mental health service message: although the show didn't portray depression completely accurately, I felt the uplifting message of "It's okay to fail. You can try again." is a good one.

It's a cute, positive show in many ways. If you're looking for fluff, it's a nice, mostly-calm, watch. If you're expecting award-caliber stuff, you will be disappointed.

As the plot unraveled it didn't keep the excitement promised in first episodes. It could have been so much better!
The talented cast made it worth watching though. Jeong-woo (Park Hyung-sik) mood swings were hilarious and totally addictive. Ha-neul (Park Shin-hye) healing journey was brilliantly interpreted and the supporting cast nailed the frequent comedy scenes too.
Excellent acting and directing, deceiving screen-writing.

Vote: 7.5

Started watching 닥터슬럼프 (Doctor Slump) a few days ago, and it's a fun watch - medical drama and romantic comedy in roughly equal measures. #KDrama #닥터슬럼프 #DoctorSlump

Doctor Slump subtitles

I am bothered that a noticeable amount of lines by secondary characters haven't even been subbed.

You can complain to Netflix (which I did this morning & plan to do every episode from now on)
