Will Park Shin Hye’s “Doctor Slump” Take Over Shin Hye Sun’s “Samdalri” As The Next Healing Masterpiece?

“Doctor Slump” is one of the Korean dramas receiving great attention from the viewers because it marks the return of actress Park Shin Hye after a long hiatus. Not to mention, she also stars in this work alongside her co-star in “The Heirs,” Park Hyung Sik, which made the drama even more popular than ever.

After releasing the first 2 episodes, the movie recorded quite good ratings, signaling a good start. In addition, “Doctor Slump” was also released on Netflix and overthrew a series of blockbusters to reach top 1 in many countries after only 3 days. Audiences who were interested in Park Shin Hye’s return also gave countless compliments to this comeback.

The first two episodes not only did a good job of introducing the two main characters but also opened up about many stories in modern life, such as children being under heavy pressure from their parents’ expectations and modern people’s mental health problems.

The two main characters were once excellent students, having spent their school years as rivals always fighting for first place. Now they accidentally meet again at the worst time of their lives. The female lead, after many years of trying to do what her mother wanted, suffered from depression and pain when her mother did not even allow her to get sick. The male lead was wrongly suspected of murder, lost his professional license and a large sum of money which he saved over the years. They meet again, turn from enemies to companions, and help each other heal.

Currently, the viewers are looking forward to the healing journey of the two main characters in the drama’s next developments. Many people expect that, after the hit healing series of 2023 such as “Daily Dose of Sunshine” starring Park Bo Young and “Welcome to Samdalri” starring Shin Hye Sun, “Doctor Slump” will be the healing masterpiece of 2024.
