For the fic title ask: Unspoken
I love your blog btw!!!
Unspoken: A fluffy/crack and mildly angsty, colleagues-to-lovers fic with Dino, in which loser office worker!Dino (think like Jim from 'The Office' or like Kim Junwan in 'Hospital Playlist') finds himself pining after the new graduate intern, but has trouble expressing his interest verbally. He fumbles with his words and gets frustrated whenever he tries to talk to them, so OC thinks Dino doesn't like them. Amidst it all, he leaves cute post-it notes at their desk, reminding them to drink water or with a cold brew with 2 pumps of vanilla (just like OC likes their coffee!) when they have to work late nights, that leaves OC a little puzzled. Eventually, he pours out his heart into a love letter and hand delivers it to them, himself! He stands there like 🧍‍♂️😳😶 while OC reads it in front of him - internally, Dino is kicking, screaming, and melting into a puddle while he awaits her response to his unspoken feelings :)
Send me a made-up fic title and I'll tell you what I would write to go with it.
Hehehe I hope you liked it, op!! Thank you so much 🥺 I'm glad you found some joy here 💙🤗

Now that you finished Hospital Playlist may I ask who is your favourite character and which aspects did you like about their personality as well as their ark through the show?
hey!! funnily enough, i did kind of immediately go back to rewatching it, because my brain is built that way, i guess. embarrassing to admit, but it is what it is, and i am putting it here in case i might add something later on, after the rewatch. a new comfort show has entered my life, and is sitting firmly in my top 3, right along with twenty five twenty one, which is incredibly high praise coming from me.
first of all, everyone around me was actually surprised that it took me so long to watch it. my favorite tv show growing up was grey's anatomy for the longest time, it's one of those shows i put on in the background of doing anything. like, when i write, i will have an episode of grey's anatomy playing. it soothes my brain. anyway, hospital playlist has been on my watchlist for like two, almost? three years? now, i think? around the time the second season premiered. i just never gave in, lol. huge mistake, turns out, because this show is like everything i love wrapped into one. it is like the most kaz-esque show ever, everything is so specifically catered to me, i cannot believe it even exists.
i thought my favorite characters would either be ikjun (i have seen jo jungsuk in hyung (with kyungsoo in a co-lead as a blind judoka) and he made me sob buckets, so i was already a fan and i know that man can sing like it's nobody's fucking business, my moritz and hedwig... i used to audition with moritz material, so naturally he is dear to me.) or seonghwa, because she is the only neurosurgeon in the main squad. fun fact, i wanted to be a neurosurgeon up until my ophthalmologist ruined all my hopes in 9th grade when he told me i could never be a surgeon. rip. i never cried so much in my life up until then, it really changed my life forever. sigh. that's what you get for having absolutely no depth perception!
so, imagine how surprised i was when i was naturally drawn to kim junwan. i love the fact that he was introduced as a cold-hearted and strict character but is revealed to be actually quite soft and very dedicated. that we see him as brutally professional and occasionally cutting, but rarely actually harmful. it is not often we find a character depicted like that, and i could relate to him in many ways as someone people seem to fear on first glance, and always having to convince them of the opposite. he is insanely smart, but not as smart as ikjun, and he is so fiercely loyal while intensely, yet quietly, emotional. so many aspects of his character were gradually revealed and it felt less like a change of his core and more like aspects of him we have earned to experience over the course of the show. i love a reflection of characters that is caused less by a seismic shift in their lives or daily events, and more like just us being allowed a window to sit in and navigate their narrative like real people. hospital playlist felt very much like that.
so many little things i've loved about him... the different hairstyles growing up, the fact that apparently he has lived with jeongwon for so long, and they have worked at the same hospitals? that he can barely stand to live on his own, something you would never quite expect from a forty year old man who is as revered and feared as kim junwan. how generous and kind and loving he is. how quirky and occasionally impulsive, especially around his friends. i thought the romance between him and iksun shoehorned and wooden at times, but they won me over, mostly by the end of season two. honestly, i put it more on chemistry than storytelling, to be honest. same goes with jungwon and gyucheol; for some reason i did not particular enjoy the romantic chemistry between either of these pairs (or maybe it was just the actors?) and saw them being better off as friends. that's just me nitpicking, though.
i also particularly loved seokhyeong's character development, and his romance felt well-earned and natural. such great growth here! and more justice for cripplingly introverted people, we deserve the spotlight as well! and the romance! and to be a little mean and spiteful and very smart, and kind-hearted and soft-spoken but strict as well, when needed! i loved him in his role at the hospital, and his backstory interested me the most out of all doctors, considering he worked in the states for quite some time, and all his family issues. sooooo dashing, too.
now, here comes perhaps my highest praise for the show. hospital playlist gave us the best friends-to-lovers trope in all of kdrama, possibly of all time. so insanely well done, oh my god. by the time ikjun and seonghwa kissed in the car, i thought i was gonna turn to dust. the chemistry! the realness! the ROMANCE! these two are so grossly meant for each other and their entire development from best friends to lovers was absolutely expertly written. i loved the season one finale, when ikjun visits seonghwa in her new apartment and confesses his feelings for her. so elegant. jo jungsuk has this talent for really deeply emotional acting that never feels like a gimmick and always just earnest. anyone else might have forced too much there, or played it too heavy-handed, but he met the perfect balance between earnestness, and yearning, and gracefully-resigned. it was beautiful. how seonghwa allowed herself to open up to those feelings over the course of the second season, and how naturally they have taken care of each other from the beginning... god. couple of all time, for real. the fact that ikjun is such a singer and seonghwa is the complete opposite, but he loves her so much that to him, she sounds impeccable. what a contrast to his sharp head turns in the first episode whenever she fucks up a note. hospital playlist you magical show, you.
honorable mentions to sunbin and seokmin, my favorite neurosurgery side couple. precious, precious sweethearts. and my beloved choi yungjoon as the dishiest side character of them all, initially why i even gave in to watch the show. he did not disappoint, and he will always enrich the visual tapestry of any ensemble cast (see also: vincenzo). i just love his work in anything, so he was such a welcome addition here and, as always, a sight for sore eyes. also, park hyungsoo as seokhyeong's family's lawyer, famously of the devil judge (lawyer go, anyone? i spy a type cast and i welcome it) and crash landing on you (one of the nasty brothers).
the music was outstanding. the singing, jesus christ. jo jungsuk never met a key he couldn't transpose into a tenor dream, or a song that he couldn't elevate by adding his perfectly measured vocals. watching everyone learn and play their instruments was such a joy, and i have soaked up all the behind the scenes content. the first time they played rain and you in season two, i started to bawl. man. i fucking love this show, and i would take five more seasons to see how this group of friends navigates their lives together. that it's my life performance changed my soul.
ranking: 10/10
so, where is season three?

message: saw shim eunjae in seoul. they were reading a book. i think they’re an attorney now? a lot of people say they’re kinda cold-hearted but they seemed super confident to me, tbh. they really look like shin yeonseo and remind me of kim junwan (hospital playlist) though wtf. thought you might want to know because i remember your post about them that said they purposely got their client to lose on a custody battle because they were the partner who cheated. still can’t believe that happened three months ago.

I love how the ending isn’t as dramatic as I thought it would be. I love how most of the individual storylines were wrapped up neatly, but can still be opened up if they ever decide on having another season in the future and not feel too forced. It’s such a shame, though, that we didn’t get to see the more of the couples. Like, between Ikjun and Songhwa, we’ll never know gets jealous easily. Or if they make up immediately after a petty fight. Or how Uju will react once Ikjun tells him that he’s dating Aunt Songhwa. We won’t know how Seokhyeong would introduce Minha to his mom and how she will react when she eventually realizes that it isn’t their first time meeting. We’ll never know how Jeongwon’s dinner with Gyeoul’s mom went and if he was able to propose to her. I’ve been waiting for this since Season 1, but I guess I’ll never know how the rest of the 99z will react when they really find out that Junwan’s bidulgi is Iksun.
I’m finally starting to accept that this is truly the end. But I guess it’s okay if I’ll let myself feel sad for a while. Hospital Playlist had been a huge comfort for me and I’ve grown quite attached to all 5 main characters, so this feels a bit personal to me.
Sending a lot of virtual hugs to everyone who is as emotional as me! 🥺

I'll say it. The dynamic between Junwan and Jaehak was the best written one this season. The bickering, the support, the comedic timing, the emotional bonding it was all just *chefs kiss*

I absolutely love how Shin PD has used the band songs as a means to portray what the characters are feeling and where they stand in terms of their relationships, especially the romantic ones.
When Jeongwon sings 'Confession is not flashy' in s1e10, he symbolically accepts that Gyeol is his 'loved one' and that he is ready to commit to her. Consequently, ep 11 and 12 expand on this turn in his character, showing him acknowledge these emotions and then finally act on them. The song also sets the tone for the grandness and fairytale like love they have - a love that has literally won against God.
Coming to season 2, the very 1st song that is sung in ep 1 is 'The rain and you' by Ikjun and it implicitly expresses his heartbreak and his yearning after Songhwa rejects him.
Seokhyung comes in with 'Autumn outside the post office' in the very next episode and honestly, as a character that went through the last season as someone who is there but not there at the same time, the song does tremendous justice in showing how he is finally shedding the guilt and regret from his divorce that had held him back and that he is now ready to join the world again. He is unfettered enough that he can enjoy the simple pleasures of life. This is something that we do see in the last 2 episodes. The change that has come over him is so subtle and so evident at the same time. He no longer runs away from company, doesn't shun Mina and has even started opening up to people outside his 4 friends.
It is all this that brings me to Junwan singing 'Let's forget it'. Now on one level, it is quite openly indicating that Junwan is letting go of his love for Iksun, saying let's forget and move on with life, especially because he says "Next song" immediately after finishing this one, which if I remember correctly, no other character has ever said, in this context. It would suggest that he is ready to move on to the next chapter of his life and that he and Iksun are truly done.
But here's the twist in this pretty straightforward symbolism. The first time we encounter this song in Shin PD's dramas is actually in Reply 1988. Episode 17 to be more specific and if I'm not wrong, the song first plays when Sung Bora is eating crabs alone in her hostel, sometime after she has broken up with Sunwoo (which happens in the very same episode).
Now, Shin PD is famous for reusing tropes, characters, actors, symbols from his previous work in his new ones. In fact, 2 characters from Reply 1988 have already appeared in Hospital Playlist s1. So for me, what remains to be seen here is which symbolical reference Shin PD decides to go with - the outright one where they are truly done with eachother and Junwan moves on to the 'next song' or the referential one where, like Bora and Sunwoo, they get back together once they have learnt from their mistakes and matured. And it is also such a masterstroke since, in hindsight this symbolism is going to be so obvious and blatant but here in the present, it gives us nothing about what's to really happen with the bidulgi couple.

Woahhh....so Ikjun timed how long it'd take for Junwan to reach the ER and then sent a text to Iksun's phone so that Junwan can see her wallpaper.....why else would he text her saying there's no need to reply if he's upstairs and gonna meet her in an hour or so
I'm learning new tricks from this guy lol
