6 Scenes From "Doctor Slump" That Made Us Feel Vulnerable And Soft

Here are a few moments from healing K-Drama "Doctor Slump" that made us feel vulnerable and soft.

 

 

"Doctor Slump" has slowly mesmerized the K-Drama community with its gripping storyline and relatable characters.

 

Featuring Park ShinHye and Park HyungSik as its main leads, the series is a mixture of comedic gold, heart-fluttering romance, and much needed healing.

 

"Doctor Slump" revolves around Yeo JeongWoo (Park HyungSik) and Nam HaNeul (Park ShinHye). Both were top students at school and were each other's academic rivals. They reunite during one of the lowest points of their lives.

 

Although they continue to bicker, they become each other's pillar of support and romance blossoms between the two.

 

Even prior to reaching its midway point, the drama was already filled with countless moments that tugged on your heartstrings. It provided a number of different quotes and scenarios that hit all the right spots. It's a drama that makes you contemplate life and reassess whether or not you're truly happy. The series takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions that soften your heart from beginning to end.

 

Now, let's take a look at a few scenes from "Doctor Slump" that made us feel vulnerable and soft.

 

Note: this article contains spoilers.

 

1. First Crying Session Together

When Yeo JeongWoo and Nam HaNeul first meet, they still maintain their rival-like relationship. They childishly bicker with one another, but after a sequence of disheartening events, they find themselves drinking together. As they're drunkenly making their way home, they allow their weakness to show and end up crying in each other's arms.

 

Although the start is silly and a bit comedic, you come to understand their realization that they've reached their lowest point. This awareness is both a moment of relatable pain and healing for viewers across the globe.

 

2. HaNeul Lives Out Her High School Dreams

While Nam HaNeul was academically gifted, she had to make huge sacrifices. She spent all of her high school career studying to ensure that she would be able to make it into a top university. However, upon reuniting with JeongWoo, she was able to experience the joys of a typical high school student for the first time.

 

There comes a moment where time slows down and suddenly, both Kim HaNeul and Yeo JeongWoo are seen wearing their high school uniforms. It's a scene that strikes at audiences' hearts everywhere. Even when they're struggling the most, our two main characters are able to smile and have fun, tapping into the joy of their high school innocence.

 

3. Yeo JeongWoo Lets Kim HaNeul Sleep

Reaching rock bottom, both Yeo JeongWoo and Kim HaNeul are understandably tired and barely have the strength to continue moving forward. However, they try their best to become pillars of support and aid each other to remain afloat. One way that JeongWoo does this is to allow HaNeul to sleep.

Not just once, but on two occasions he notices her exhaustion and let's her rest. It produces both butterflies and comfort, putting audiences in a state of tenderhearted admiration in light of JeongWoo's caring actions. It makes you hope that when you're going through a tough time, you can find someone as supportive and kind-hearted as Yeo JeongWoo.

 

4. A Hug Of Reassurance

When words fail, actions speak. This has become a constant theme all throughout "Doctor Slump" and is not only portrayed by one person. After realizing just how much pain JeongWoo has kept hidden in his heart, HaNeul offers him a hug of reassurance.

 

She sincerely acknowledges his difficult situation but also reminds him that everything will be okay. Although simple, it's an act that everyone wants at least once in their life. It reaffirms the fact that a bit of reassurance with a hug goes a long way.

 

5. A Kidney Bean That Won't Grow

Many people would agree that seeing a crying child would make them feel soft and vulnerable in an instant. This is certainly the case the moment we meet the younger version of Yeo JeongWoo. As fate would have it, out of the entire class JeongWoo's kidney bean happened to be the only one that did not grow.

Although he appeared strong in front of his classmates, when walking alone he burst out into tears. Seeing a child in such a emotional state would make anyone feel soft and vulnerable, hoping to find some way to take their pain away.

 

6. One Way To Combat PTSD

Despite his name being cleared, Yeo JeongWoo still suffers from PTSD. His first day back in the operating room, he is unable to complete a procedure that he has probably done a hundred times before. After learning about this incident, Nam HaNeul does not hesitate to aid him in bettering his condition.

Much to his surprise, JeongWoo finds HaNeul assisting him in the operating room. Although taken aback, her very presence acts as a much needed calming pill, allowing him to be able to complete the procedure with apparent ease. Seeing how his demeanor completely changes would make anyone swoon in an instant, all while wearing a huge smile on their face.

*** In the latest episode of Doctor Slump, the focus is on Jeong Woo and Ha Neul's relationship, which brings moments of joy.  However, the overall plot seems stagnant. The series' exploration of mental health themes, initially appears to be losing its substance.

*** While watching "Doctor Slump", the drama has taken me on a worthwhile adventure, they had filming locations from different cities across Korea. I love the Namsan Baekbeom Square.  Although in "Doctor Slump" this location was visited at night, it looks absolutely stunning during the day too. Once there, you can enjoy the view of the city.
