Wow.. finally someone said it and thank you for this!

The first impression is almost ALWAYS the visuals for us humans. That is probably the reason why Kim SeonHo, being the cutie that he is flashing his dimples, melts our hearts but I of all people certainly can't go on for 16 episodes just for the looks. The cinematography, beaches, costumes are all eye-catching. But there's something very obvious which doesn't meet the eye at first.

I low key blame Hospital Playlist for setting such high standards when it comes to script. I'd rather stick to scripts where the writer leaves the understanding part to the audience rather than making is obvious and repetitive with too many flashbacks (sorry Hwarang fans).

You hit the nail on the head when you said had the charming KSH not played Du-sik, he would seem like a pervert. Interestingly he doesn't judge anyone else but HyeJin and I wonder whether that was a deliberate plot that would follow with a mandatory apology that would eventually melt the FL's heart. And surprise surprise!

It's like you ask JJS to play a murderer with his dreamy eyes and us visual-hungry audience low key expect him to turn into a devil judge by the end of the season.

Thanks for the first impression review! It's very pretty to look at, from the clips I saw, but I will hold first and binge only after it finishes airing, if it is worth watching. I dont wanna invest my time watching something disappointing.
