#and the crocs aversion..... if the show makes me look past that then it must be really damn good

[jooyeone]

so while it is neither intense nor particularly thought-provoking (unless the thoughts you'd like to have provoked are like... "holy shit, if these interpersonal relationships get any cuter, I may just die! or accidentally suffocate myself because I was too busy screaming into a pillow to remember to breathe") "hospital playlist" is the cutest thing I've seen in a hot minute. I mean, who doesn't like a hospital workplace dramedy where the main characters are like "sure, we've all been best friends since med school, but the deal breaker for us coming to work at your fancy new hospital is that we're all gonna form a band so we have an excuse to chill together outside of work, like ADULTS" featuring not one but TWO super cute moms, a pediatric surgeon who istg is the personification of cotton candy, trying to date your best friend's sister without him finding out, a very cute child & his adorable dad, well-intended meddling + scheming at work, a man forced to teach his boss, his mother, his mother's gentleman friend, and his best friend's mother how to play the mafia game, sort of a LOT of the plot just revolves around "let's hang out and have a meal, because we're friends :)))))))" which like... whoa, refreshing... and, of course, the casual kpop refs thrown in to spice it up including a mother-to-be wanting to know if her baby will be "bts or blackpink?" and the classic 'how did you two meet?' *female residents giggle* 'through ARMY' *confused male resident noises* 'you guys were in the military together?' *knowing female glances* ... let's just say, I have a visceral aversion to crocs, and this show was good enough that I've watched it all 4 times despite the endless croc-clad foot shots

omg i love you for this super elaborate tv show rec, i am a hundred percent sold!!! not gonna lie the “let’s hang around and have a meal because we’re friends” plot is something that can actually be so personal, because it only ever works when there’s well written friendships and this sounds exactly like that!

i also just watched the trailer now and noooooo they look so cute and wholesome 🥺 thank you so much for the rec, i’ve added it to the list and will start it soon <3
