Hospital Playlist 2 releases new poster and stills

Hospital Playlist is almost back for its second season! After all those cliffhangers, I can’t wait to finally learn what’s happened to the gang. Recently, the poster above was released showing the five doctors after work, waiting for the rain to stop; the caption says: “The ordinary days of our special lives.”

For those of you who haven’t watched Hospital Playlist yet, I highly recommend a binge marathon between now and when the second season starts airing in mid-June. It’s a warm, medical slice-of-life drama centered around the hospital where miracles of life and death occur daily. It follows a close-knit group of five friends that met in med school nearly two decades ago, and are now all specialists working at the same hospital.

Jung Kyung-ho (Crash Landing on You, Apgujeong Report) plays a prickly cardiovascular surgeon who loves golf. Kim Dae-myung (The Sound of Your Heart, Stone Skipping) plays a shy OB/GYN doc who is a complete mama’s boy. Yoo Yeon-seok (Mr. Sunshine, New Years Blues) plays a pediatric surgeon who believes that Catholic priesthood is his true calling.

Jeon Mi-do (Mother, Metamorphosis) plays a tone-deaf neurosurgeon who is good at almost everything except singing. Last but not least, there’s Jo Jung-seok (Nokdu Flower, Land of Happiness) who plays a general surgeon that is a popular, cheerful single dad of the cutest kid in the universe, played by Kim Joon.

Still cuts of Jo Jung-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok were also released. Regarding season 2, Yoo Yeon-seok said: “Normally when a drama starts filming, I go through a period of apprehension and worry, but coming to season 2 [of Hospital Playlist] felt like going back to school and meeting friends after a long vacation… Although it was our first shoot in a while, it felt so natural and comfortable, as if we had also met yesterday.”

Written by Lee Woo-jung (Answer Me 1988) and directed by Shin Won-ho (Smart Prison Living, Answer Me 1988), tvN’s Hospital Playlist 2 begins airing on June 17.

For once, I'm really happy to have a second season for a Kdrama.

My only complaint with this drama is the love stories. I didn't like them. The pacing of the different relationships was too fast for me, I couldn't feel their love connection.

At the beginning I shipped Jun-wan and Song-hwa... Maybe that’s my own personal preference coming through? Haha
But yeah, I didn’t buy the love stories.

That feeling of rejoining old familiar friends spills over from the cast to us. So looking forward to spend time with these characters again.

Of course I am looking forward to the return of HOSPITAL PLAYLIST 2.
I love all five doctors but I think pride of place has to go to my favorite Jun-wan (a rl favorite Jung Kyung-Ho) who was the first of the five to become a Chief.

I am also I am sure in a district minority who thought Jeong-won (Yoon Yeon-seok) should have followed his heart and should now be studying to become a Catholic priest.
(Nevertheless I am looking forward to watching YYS in HP2.)

To me it seemed clear all along that Joeng-won's desire to be a priest was a way of running away from his true calling- because he cared so much for his patients and he experienced so much pain whenever he lost one. He simply could not see what others could see- that his attitude actually made him a great doctor.

We will have to see what happens in Season 2 but the way things ended up for him at the the end of the first season struck me as being very much in keeping with a Catholic point of view.

Looking back now almost two years and I have only the one viewing, for me HP evolved from a medical drama into almost into a romantic drama with the various romantic plots that appeared.
I was never really convinced about the Gyu-wool/Jung-won pairing. Rosa of course was very pleased. At this stage for Jung-won to give up the priesthood for romance I really didn’t buy.
You may have a point on his decision to continue with medicine but this idea of the priesthood will probably be always somewhere in the back of his mind no matter what the further holds for him.

My first time watching I also didn't feel the JW-GU connection. But I keep rewatching some scenes in yt and it made me notice some details (and I should've expected a lot of small details knowing this is a ShinLee drama) that I didn't see the first time so I rewatched the whole drama. That's when I noticed JW's reactions and nuances towards GU when they have a scene together. Then their story started making sense in my head. I've never moved on since 😂

To be fair to the others, Junwan is the only male associate professor in the group, presumably because he was exempt from military service. I think Iksun mentioned it once.

During the first season, most songs from this OST became a massive hits in Korea but I can't wait for new cover songs or original songs of season 2. I want to see the Hospital Playlist band to be performing onscreen again and I still thinking about Mido Falasol's new songs too as well as JJS or others. I wanted to be this second Hospital Playlist season OST songs to be a hit like the first season so my fingers crossed for Hospital Playlist season 2 OST song hits (covers or original).

If YYS was in my med school class, (and he would have been if the timeline here was real life) there’s no way I wouldn’t have dated him. 😂 HP2, get here sooner. Gah, these stills!

Can’t count the number of times I rewatched season 1! Can’t wait to jump into season 2!! We have been super spoilt fans, I am sure there isn’t another show with such detailed bts vids released regularly for fans! Pretty sure the way the bts vids are made can be used in film

I loved Dr.Jin hwan and YYS’s character the most while its first ep was aired in, but I’m now missing the sunny Ik-jun and his cute, clever little kid the most.

Looking forward to the blossoming love between Gyu-wool and Jung-won. Not sure why some of the comments here are against it. Of course we all have our opinions. For me it is better for Jung-won to fall in love now than be a priest. Better to fall-in-love, experience it so no regrets in the future. God wants everyone to be happy! Wishing hopes are not dashed in this season!
