The Story
Two high school academic rivals run into each other by chance years after graduation. But despite the pair both achieving their dreams of becoming successful doctors, they are both suffering from extreme stress and burnout. While one of them has lost his clinic to an expensive law suit, the other left her job in a fit of anger. Now the pair will reconnect as they try to put their lives and careers back together. And they soon realize that the person who was once their biggest competition is now their best companion and supporter.
Should I Watch
“Doctor Slump” is a medical romance that moves away from the traditional focus on medical patient stories and cases to highlight the leads and the struggles they face as health care professionals. While I liked this drama, I really wanted to love it and I just couldn’t. I love these leads and I think the topic of professional mental health is relevant and interesting. But the pacing of this one felt off and I found myself losing interest through some of the middle epidsodes. Also, some of the over the top acting wore thin, even with the adorable Park Hyung Sik. I give “Doctor Slump” an 8 out of 10 ramen.
