Jungwoo: I like it now. I really liked that night air yesterday, when I was walking around holding my doll and buying snacks to give to you. And when I woke up in the morning, my spoon was on the table at your house, and I went to work while getting scolded by you.
And right now, after work, sitting across from each other and drinking a cold cup of coffee... I like it the best.

2024-03-20Taiwan Ouni[Completed Drama Review] Park Shin Hye x Park Hyung Sik "Doctor Low": A smooth and healing story, with a perfect ending that meets the audience's expectations. First picture
 
The romantic and healing love drama " Dr. Low " stars Park Shin Hye as the anesthesiologist "Nam Ha Na" and Park Hyung Sik as the plastic surgeon "Yoo Jung Woo". The two reunited again at the lowest moment of their lives. All 16 episodes ended with the theme of getting married. Taking this opportunity, it ushered in a perfect happy ending. The final ratings were 6.463% in Korea and 7.431% in the metropolitan area. It ended with stable ratings.
 

In order to meet expectations, too much pressure eventually became "Doctor Trough"

"Doctor Low" tells the story of Nam Ha Na who suffered from depression because she worked too hard and was taken advantage of, while Yu Jung Woo was framed for medical negligence. They each took off their doctor's robes due to major life changes, and together they A story of overcoming the lowest moments in life. The first two episodes started with Yu Zhengyu bearing a huge compensation due to a medical accident. I thought it would be an extension of the plot and then the mystery of the medical accident was dropped and turned to the encounter between Ha Na and Zhengyu. A budding love begins.

Not to mention medical care, human-to-human interaction is the main focus

"Doctor at Trough" describes the story of two doctors who meet at a trough and heal each other.

The title of " Doctor Slump " has a doctor, and it is not a story in a hospital. The focus is on "people" who are in a trough. Therefore, the investigation of medical accidents was abandoned for a while, and the story seriously turned to Ha Na and Jung Woo's ambiguous relationship. The part that has become more and more profound in love is related to Ha Na's depression at the beginning. However, it is a romantic comedy after all. It would be wrong to add too much depression, which greatly weakens the feeling of "low". By the tenth It took three episodes to return to Jung Woo's incident, and the "demon" that would lead Ha Na and Jung Woo to the bottom of their lives pointed to the same person.

The devil who caused Nam Ha Na and Yu Zhengyu to go down in life is "him"

It turns out that the person who brought Ha Na and Zheng Yu to a low point in their lives was Min Geng Min.

Min Geng-min was Nam Ha-na's senior doctor. He helped her a lot when she first joined the job, and even became lovers with Ha-na. However, Min Geng-min took advantage of Ha-na not long after, which made Ha-na's depression become more and more serious and she left her job.

Through Ha Na's investigation, it was found that Min Gengmin was responsible for Zhengyu's medical accident. It was all because when Min Gengmin was Zhengyu's high school tutor, he was dissatisfied with Zhengyu's mother for making things difficult for him and not allowing him to take leave to pick up his drunken father. His father died in a car accident. The person who should take revenge was Zhengyu's mother, but she turned to Zhengyu for revenge. The most cruel thing was that during the investigation, Ha Na and Min Gengmin got into a car accident and experienced a life and death moment. The love between Zhengyu and Zhengyu was so embarrassing.

The screenwriter probably didn’t want to dwell on this part for too long. In just two episodes, Ha Na quickly recovered after being rescued, but Min Geng Min was seriously injured and died. Although Zheng Yu’s life has undergone major changes because of Min Geng Min’s revenge, Min Geng Min became Zheng Yu’s After being tutored, Zhengyu has always been treated like a real brother. The mixture of love and hate makes it difficult for Zhengyu to calm down. Taking this as an opportunity, the two people's trough is over. If the story throws out the problems that the protagonists should face and solve, by the fourteenth episode, it can be regarded as completely resolved. In fact, the drama can almost come to an end, but another aspect of their lives... The wave climax has officially begun.

Restarting life after a trough

Although the ratings of "Dr. Low" did not skyrocket, it still maintained a stable base.

"Although I am happy today, I may suddenly become sad tomorrow, but it doesn't matter. If I am sad, I will be happy."

Work was on track, Zhengyu took out the ring and proposed to Ha Na. In the meantime, he encountered a remote crisis that Ha Na might have to be sent abroad due to work. In the end, the assignment was cancelled, and he returned to the original hospital as a professor. Ha Na also He learned not to suppress his feelings, overcame depression and did not need to go back to the clinic again, and Zhengyu also opened his own plastic surgery clinic. The two had good results in their work and love. In the last two episodes of the finale, only The joyful process has no sadistic reversal.

In addition to the love line between Jung Woo and Ha Neul, another interesting love line is between "Bin Dayong" played by Yoon Bo and "Lee Hong Ran" played by Kong Xingha. They are both single parents and become each other to take care of their children. The best partner, and at the same time developed into the other half who talks about everything and is the least burdensome, ending with a beautiful relationship that makes up for each other's shortcomings.

"When I'm sad, my heart is healed by ordinary things."

The final ending of "Dr. Low" leaves fans of the show satisfied

As Park Shin Hye's comeback after childbirth and her second collaboration with Park Hyung Sik after " The Heirs ", "Dr. Low" has a perfect ending. It is billed as a healing romantic comedy. Unfortunately, it only shows a calm charm and the performance is neither good nor bad.

However, I originally wanted to take the warm route, and it was expected that the ratings would not be very impressive. In addition, with the use of depression, job burnout, and the suspenseful beginning of Zhengyu's medical accident in the early stage, the story was not deepened properly. In some stories, more than half of the plot revolves around love stories and heartwarming moments showing family, losing the deeper character characterization, which is the main reason why the audience cannot resonate much with the protagonist. However, the two main characters Park Shin Hye and Park Hyung Sik are full of energy from beginning to end, and the supporting characters are also extremely funny. The focus is on the actors' hot performances and the interactions between people, giving each other strength and support. Just follow the smile and watch After finishing it, I can still feel the warmth in it and finish reading "Dr. Low" with ease.

"The moon is really bright" I said loudly so that he would listen
Yeo Jeong-woo, who makes a wish in a 'twangy' way, is so cute I could die 🤣 Yeo Jeong-woo MBTI is definitely ENFJ. He has a rich imagination and good empathy, but he's secretly systematic and calculating ㅋㅋㅋ
