Is it a JTBC thing to have 30-year-olds play their high school selves (Welcome to Samdal-ri, Doctor Slump)? Cast young actors!

Hang on a second. I’m in a nit-picky mood. How could only 10 years hbe elapsed since they were in HS today yet he has become a famous plastic surgeon? According to the Interwebs, Med School takes 6 years to finish in SK and then another 5-7 years in residency. This is 10-13 years. How could he have become so well known in this field given these numbers?

An anesthesiologist? In a slump? Are we supposed to sleep thru this one?

Oh heavens, seems like I wasn't worried for nothing... Maybe it could be a fun hate watch at least? I'm afraid my tolerance for ridiculous plots and childish romances just hit its record low!

P.S. Adulthood suits HS much better.

Let’s hope the high school sequence lasts less than 5 min.
And what’s with a slump in your 30s??? Obviously they aren’t playing 40 year olds right?
I love PHS and I feel exactly the opposite when it comes to PSH. So a love-hate watch???
Sigh.

The PLOT doesn't sound bad. Could be interesting. But with 40-something actors (ideally who have a history of great chemistry with their co-stars).

I agree with sentiment here - just cast teenage actors for teenage parts. You will get rising stars for tomorrow. It's not like Korea lacks young talent.

It said they met in 2009 when she transfers to his high school and if they make present day 2023 then it’s been 14 years.

These days the pressure on the medical field to satisfy patients who want what they want because they read it on the internet or saw it on social media like antibiotics each time they have a cold so now we have super bugs, the limited time they have to see patients, and all the paperwork it’s totally happening that doctors are feeling burnt out in their 30s.

I like the teaser since the show looks fun. But I am not a fan of this two dressed up as high schoolers.

Oh YES! He's back! I'm gonna love every minute of this drama!

if park shin hye can be as likable as her role in pinocchio i'll definitely tune in!!!

It def is giving me Our Beloved Summer vibes, only funnier. And it's surprising how young Shin Hye is looking. PHS is probably going to make up what he lacks in looks (as in looking young) with his act. I did find the scenes funny. The premise looks interesting though how he becomes a star Plastic Surgeon so quick would be interesting (as someone said, it's six plus four so five years of practice and a slump?)

I am looking forward to this one.

Here’s hoping we get a good start to 2024 in that there is something enjoyable to watch at least a couple of times a week throughout the year. Any drama that can do the drama element without resorting to a murder or Joseon era flashback I will be happy with. Oh and please no on screen smoking or drunk every day to pass out level scenes and we are all set for good bean count in December.

Cuter than I thought. Real question is will the cute be enough to overcome brain(less) questions like (a) what is the timeline / time gap, (b) how annoying can leads in school uniforms be, (c) how can newly minted doctors go in a slump, (d) can PHS realy make me forget about script, logic, legality, etc. Let's wait and watch.
