this could have been easily of my top 3 favorite kdramas but it left me completely disappointed. i do think it has a probably one the best use of comedy I have seen in kdramas and that's why i was just so mad when i finish it because i cannot call it my favorite comedy kdrama.
one of the two things that took away my enjoyment was the main couple. at first it seemed like some sweet-simple-like-romance until we are told the way they met and that's when it stopped being romantic and become gross. the age gap and the dynamic relationship makes enough for not to like the main character, as he is after all the only guilty in the relationship. i simply tried to ignore him but he is THE main character, which is kinda hard not to notice him.
yet i was ready to be oblivious because my main focus was on looney. and here is where it comes the second thing that annoys me: looney's ending literally ruined everything for me. i mean everyone got if not a happy ending, at least a hopeful ending (captain yoo) but it has to be the gay character who simply couldn't be happy. not only this show had already depicted that the "best" way of dealing with an addicted person was apparently sending them to jail (which it does more harm that good) but at the end we couldn't see him having at least some hopeful ending with his partner. it was honestly just nasty. everything that i have loved of this show (minus the main couple) was simply thrown away by this decision.
and that's why i can't just give it a higher rating.
(sidenote: but they couldn't give us either a gay character to mend their mistakes in hospital playlist🙄)
