Hospital Playlist is a slice of life medical drama that talks about 5 friends stories while working in a busy hospital. This drama has it all! From stories between doctors and patients, doctors and nurses, doctors and family, friends and family, first love, hidden crushes, close friendships and the many hardships of those who come to the hospital and those who are working there.

What is so enjoyable about this drama is the rollercoaster of emotions the viewer experience in each episode. You experience laughter, sadness, empathy, curiosity, hopelessness and many other emotions while watching a single 90 minute episode. And you know what tops it all off, at the end of each episode, the 5 friends come together to play a song as a band as if to rewind themselves + the viewers what they all went through during the episode. The songs at the end of each episode really wraps up everything together and the song title represents the episode.

Story/Plot
The story is about 5 friends experiences while working in a busy hospital. Each lead is a professor/expert in their respective field and the plot revolves around how they tackle medical and lifes problems they come to face. This is a slice of life/ family drama. There are no villians, hidden political schemes or back-stabbing, etc. It is simply people and life. A perfect drama to just sit down and let the stories take you.

Acting/Cast/Characters
I could write a 10 page report on the Main Characters as the viewer is exposed to so much backstory and details. Nearly half the supporting casts has a backstory and even the cameo patients all have their own stories. Each character has their own story/goal and what they are trying to achieve. I tried to write a summary, but I just couldn't as I have so much I want to say, so in conclusion; watch the drama to learn about the characters. The leads are top-notch casts and their acting are superb. Two-thumbs up from me!

Music
Music plays a big role in this drama. Not only do the 5 friends play a song as a band near the end of each episode, but the songs also allows the viewer to reoganise their emotions and thoughts. Furthermore, the background OSTs during certain scenes really fit the story/scenes perfectly.

Rewatch Value
I will definitely rewatch this. I am going back to the start as I am writing this because of what occured in the final episode, just to experience it again. I am sure many of us will be too.

Why I gave the drama my current rating? (10)
The drama is great at showing what it wants to show compacted into 90 minute episodes. I feel like there was no wasted time or boring parts in the drama. The drama's production was very high quality and well worth the weekly wait of 1 episode per week. Did not regret following this drama for 12 weeks! Lastly, there is a reason why this drama is rated so highly on different sites, so give it a go yourself! Confident in saying this is one of top 5 dramas in my life and will highly recommend this to anyone. I cried so much in the final episode and it was so heartwarming.
