I have no words to season one of "Hospital Playlist." I felt like the best of "Grey's Anatomy" was mixed up with the best of k-drama and music, and then we had the cutest show ever. So I was pretty excited with season two, and just devoured it in a few days, but let talk about some points here that made me realize that season two wasn't so good compared to the first one.
I can't talk too much because of the spoilers, so I'll try to sum up this as much I can. The first season was full of possibilities and everything was new, so we came to episode 12 expecting many things that were solved there. Some plots were left open, but I think the development in the first half of season two wasn't so well done.
Some stories really made me frustrated, and I'll just mention the characters and tools. The time gap is a common tool in dramas, and although I'm not a big fan of it, I understand the need. But in season two I thought the time gap was a little confusing. There's no clear warning of the gap (only when Uju talks about the new semester) but we have almost two years passing in this season. I just realize this when Song Hwa (Jeon Mi Do) sings and they say "wow, I can't believe this time already passed." I understand that is obvious that time pass, but the way how was retracted made the progress of some characters imperceptible.
The first one affected by this was Yang Suk Hyung (Kim Dae Myung). I love the way how his personality was introverted and they started to develop it, but the way how we saw it, was like he just changed by nothing. Again, I know real life is like this, we change day-by-day, little steps, but if you are doing something to the audience, we need to see interactions that justify the change. Kim Jun Wan (Jung Kyung Ho) and his relationship was another low point to me. After seeing the relation of the two of them in the first season, I really didn't swallow the way how they (mostly her) did things here.
But Song Hwa and Ik Jun (Jo Jung Suk) was my highlight. I love the way how everything works for them and loved the conclusion. Yes, I'm saying conclusion because I really expected that they don't create a third season. I love Hospital Playlist, but when we have an amazing season, the expectation for the next one is always higher, and this is why many show end up losing the audience. The first season was so amazing that my expectations were equally amazing. I love season two, but not even close to the first one. My feeling is like they could make an amazing drama with 16 or 20 episodes and end everything on season one.
Because of that, I'll put this as an amazing drama (★ ★ ★ ★ ★★ ★ ★ ★ ) and of course, I'll recommend it to everyone.
P.s.: The OST is a show that we can also recommend separately. I like the OST from season two better :D
