The thread is open. Thanks, @koalatown, for taking the lead on this kdrama. I’m behind you one episode. 🙁 Will hopefully recover from jetlag this weekend. Let’s enjoy the show.
Doctor Slump: Eps 13 & 14 Open Thread
The thread is open. As you can see, I’m in a writing slump, too. I’m up to date with this kdrama. It’s the only show I can bear to watch after a long day at work. Maybe because I get — or I *think* I get — the creative vision of the director. Maybe because […]

The thread is open. Sorry for the delay. I thought I had scheduled it for release last night. To make up for my oversight, here are some gifs from tonight/today’s episode. source: xiaolanhua’s tumblr Is that mint green on her? I like that color. So fresh and springlike. Let’s enjoy the show.
Doctor Slump: On Acting vs Camera Work
Let’s take a closer look at something @koalabear mentioned in the Eps 9 & 10 thread. Thanks, @koalabear. I think that Kyung Min will get his comeuppance. I still am suspicious that he had something to do with how that mafia uncle was able to bribe that nurse of JW’s clinic to cooperate with the […]

Doctor Slump: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open. source: xiaolanhua’s tumblr I like this scene for a few reasons: one, he wasn’t a mean drunk, two, she didn’t take advantage of his drunken state to molest him, (ha!) and three, he doubled down on telling her that he liked her. His moves were so confusing. He was flirting with […]
Doctor Slump: Ep 6 On “Some” Relationships
Reposting this before I forgot that I had it on password-protect. Sorry. –pm3 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Although HaNeul made clear from the introductory narration that “ambivalence” was the theme of the episode, I think we were shown how this “ambivalence” converted into a “some” between her and JungWoo. Here’s her monologue. HaNeul: Six years of college. A […]
B3tch Talk: On Scene Transitions
Don’t mind me. I’m organizing my notes from this Youtube video. According to Studiobinder, there are nine ways to seamlessly connect scenes together. Whenever I can, I’m getting examples from the show I’m currently watching, “Doctor Slump.” 1. Fade – when a shot fades or “dissolves” to or from a solid color – solid color: […]
Doctor Slump: Ep 8 On Zero-Sum Fallacy
In my write-up for Episode 7, I explained how the “kidney bean incident” distorted JungWoo’s perception of life and left him needing affirmation. In this episode, I say it’s a “zero-sum” mentality that warps HaNeul’s worldview and causes her to self-isolate. Let’s begin with her brother BaDa’s long monologue about her. I didn’t think it […]
Doctor Slump: Ep 7 On Seminal Moments
I like the simplicity of this episode for three reasons. Reason #1. The mystery behind the death of the Macau heiress was solved but not before JungWoo wised up to who his real friends were. In a sense, the flashback at the beginning of the episode was an appropriate introduction because the malpractice lawsuit was […]
Doctor Slump: Ep 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is open. Watching this couple interact, I’m convinced that great friends do make the best lovers. Incompatibility isn’t an issue. The outlooks and goals in life, if not similar, are aligned. The quirky sense of humor (or weirdness) is appreciated. And there’s sheer pleasure in each other’s company. I enjoy watching these two […]
Doctor Slump: Ep 5 My Highlights, part 1
If Episode 4 centered around JungWoo’s mistaken belief that he was HaNeul’s first love, then this episode revolved around HaNeul’s growing suspicion that JungWoo was in love with her. But before I begin, let me circle back to Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” In my Ep 4 highlights, I compared JungWoo with Benedick from the […]
