Maybe it's because I've watched Love to Hate you this weekend but I really had no patience for Kokdu this week. There were moments when I turned off the episode, walked out the room to do other things, or just tuned out.

I don't even know which thing I hated most. Was it the gossipy, nosy neighbors, the annoying exes, the ballsy assassin, the lack of Kokdu killing horrible people, or Gye Jeol's weak personality? I'm just annoyed with it all.
Oh! And the mind blowing incompetence. How are there NO doctors in the ENTIRE hospital?! How do they just listen to a random woman off the street who didn't do any physical exam but just looked at the monitor? Am I the dumb one here? Can doctors just diagnosis pregnancy issues by looking at monitors and maybe touching wrists?

Let me not even ask any more medical questions. How about the security guy Gye Jeol called. Did the assassin kill him? I believe he came a day or hours earlier than expected but wouldn't the original security guy or company have contacted her?
Speaking of security, what was the hospital security doing?! A drunk man walks in, grabs a doctor's hair violently while demanding another doctor show themselves, and they take way too long to arrive and then no one contacts the police? Also what hospital is this?! How did the drunk man even find out where the doctor he was looking for was? Who just tells random people where other people go?!
But let me not go there either.

For someone who was thrown in the ocean by a masked man, Gye Jeol was awfully cool after it. She didn't even contact her detective brother to tell him about it.

Did I miss something where it was said Kokdu couldn't/wasn't allowed to show his powers to other people? So much would be resolved if he just poofed in and out of a room in front of her.

I am still not invested in the romantic relationship. I did like their bickering over the deities' dictionary though haha

And now this body switching/sharing thing. 😒
Didn't they say Jin Woo was too far gone in the afterlife to return? All to miraculously perform a C section (which isn't even his specialty but close enough I guess)

None of the exes are likable and I don't understand why their pining has to be a thing. Ex girlfriend is conceited and selfish. Ex boyfriend was selfish and arrogant.

As always, the better stuff, to me, were the minions. When the guy minion kept saying how Kokdu wasn't qualified to do anything and was useless, that made me chuckle. The lady minion feeling second hand embarrassment over Kokdu's actions were another chuckle worthy moment to me.

I am glad I dropped the show after the first week. Still, I will visit the weecaps which I am sure are a much better version of that chaos of a drama.

I also agree with the possibility of the drama turning into another version of ghost doctor but I doubt it would be a good one.

I feel sorry for the male lead who is practically carrying the show on his shoulders. After a masterpiece like Mr Queen, it is a shame that this is Kim Jung-hyun's comeback drama.

Oh brave soul @daebakgrits to be forced able to keep going with this mess. Thankfully I dropped last week but this recap made me relive the show's endless tonal confusion. Which is funny when reading about it but eye rolling in the real thing.
Kim Jung-hyun really deserves better at this point.
Hwaiting, Daebakgrits. Hwaiting.

I kinda agree with the others. Honestly if the doctor wouldn't have come back, then I would have dropped it. Coz it didn't make any sense that him accidentally killing his birth mother is forgotten. I'd watched woori the virgin of the FL but even though it's really not my thing, I had completed it.
I think I'll probably keep watching it, but at this point I don't really have much hopes. But really @daebakgrits thanks for this; can't imagine writing about it. And I'll stay strong knowing you'll be watching it too~

My stance from What We're Watching post earlier still stands - and apparently echoes everyone's thoughts here - I like this drama less and less as it goes on. This week was particularly hard to enjoy because everyone was so damn annoying! There were a few plot movements tho - huge contrast with 2nd week where NOTHING happened! - I'm just not sure if they were actually good for the story. Thing that bothers me the most is how the drama seems hell-bent on NOT letting its main OTP to actually get closer and properly explore all the multiple issues their star-crossed relationship has. Instead we - and them - are being tortured by silly back-and-forth banters that hardly go anywhere, crazy genre shifts, infuriating meddling by literally everyone (now even dead Dr Do is here to mess things up!) and utterly failed attempts to be all deep and philosophical by writer. The best part of the week - and probably entire drama - was Kkokdu serenely asking Gye Jeol whether she actually gives a damn about HIM and not just Dr Do, material help he provides her with or the chance of playing (kindergarten-style based on the seriousness she approaches the task with) her dreamed fated romance with a handsome guy that would've "never look at her twice if he wasn't brain damaged". Not sure why drama needs to endlessly insult its FL like that - first 1000 times were enough to drive the point home - but oh well... THAT scene really hit me deep on multiple levels and I'm happy that KJH was at least allowed to do this much in this now obviously failed show. The whole topic was worthy of a nice deep discussion... had the script wasn't so dumb to make this scene and then throw it into the window by making Gye Jeol DEMAND that 3K overcomes his supposed brain-trauma induced amnesia ON THE SPOT because she needs Dr Do's medical skills for an illegal surgery endangering not one but two lives... aaand literally summoning the dead person back on Earth in process. I assume the whole point of Dr Do's sudden comeback isn't to give him closure for the things that got him killed but to add YET ANOTHER moronic love triangle into already overfilled with them plot. And while I'd like for Gye Jeol to finally turn her brains on and re-evaluate her feelings and goals, I'm afraid I don't trust the drama to do that properly anymore.

@DaebakGrits: You are my hero! I can only imagine the amount of dedication and stamina one has to muster to endure this mess which has gone from plain awful to plain unwatchable.

KJH ultra-expressive acting (not to call it over-acting) contrasts with the totally expressionless "acting" of the female lead, who is too tall and too old to pull the clueless, baby-talking/pouting cutesy-pie-number off (especially since the writers made her an ER!doctor!! of all things).

If I was KKokdu, I would hold out another 99 years (or 990 years if necessary) until my love is reborn again as someone with an IQ in the three digit range.

I continue to be entertained by how bad this drama is and how little it makes sense. I don't try to puzzle it out, I just laugh at the absurdity.

Thanks everyone, for making this comment section the funniest one I have read in a while. It is even beating the Why her group support programme, for entertainment value. I am almost tempted to start watching this show just to get the in jokes. 😆

So it's not just me who was tonally jerked at the way Kokdu and the story failed to continue GJ's attempted murder storyline, and more annoyingly done as if it never happened.

I could see the Jin-woo comeback from a mile away. But that changes everything. Is she still Seol-hui if she can do that? Isn't her connection bound to Kokdu? I hope they are not forgetting the plot device that Kokdu is built upon.

If Kokdu kept it initial title as Triple Kokkdu, it is really triple unentertaining.

I'm not any pleased that Kim Jung-hyun, Cha Chung-hwa and Kim In-kwon are attached here. It's such a great disservice to their acting prowess. And I'm this close to avoiding anything Im Soo-hyang.

Why wasn't the domestic abuser in jail for assaulting a doctor earlier in the night? It infuriated me that people stood there scared as they watched the domestic abuser doused the area in gasoline. He should have been tackled before he took out the lighter. The dangerous part isn't the gasoline, it's the fire! And really, no doctors around? Even with such a big hospital.

Aside from the ridiculous hospital scene (thank you, DaebakGrits for recapping that nonsense!), I actually liked this week's episodes a lot.

I find the individual scenes enjoyable. I think the leads have a really good banter rhythm going on, especially with Kim Jung-hyun leading the way with his comedic chops. Im Soo-hyang's got some comedic timing too, but her character is annoying. And she is much better at playing more intense, dark characters. I wonder what goes through her mind as she looks at the writing for GJ. But a paycheck is a paycheck. And at least we get a lot of awesome spit-take-worthy one-liners from Gak Shin.

The viewing experience reminds me of my Doom At Your Service viewing experience. Individual scenes - yes. But WTF is this drama trying to do or say? Where are we going with this? The scenes feel divorced from one another and don't stitch together well to form a narrative.

I guess a lot of beanies aren't liking this but I do. This is just silly fun and Im Soo-hyang is doing a great job. Yeah, the story is all over the place but I am just having fun and forgetting troubles watching it. It is quite wordy though which is hard to catch everything they say but that is where that pause button works for me.

The second leads are growing on me. Waiting for some redemption from this chaotic drama. Tie up the mess and throw in a more interesting and unpredictable plot twist! Don’t make it boring and weird. I have to watch the drama ignoring the flaws.
