Hospital Playlist is the kind of Korean drama tv series that you can watch to help lighten up your mood during a tiring work or school week. The said KDrama is packed with a heavy drama, funny jokes, music, love, friendship, and sweet scenes from the characters.
Along with it are intense moments as the doctors perform different surgical procedures at Yulje Medical Center to help their patients survive the critical moments of their lives.
The Hospital Playlist will help you get an idea about the medical cases and procedures that healthcare workers encounter inside the hospital. You will have some idea about fever, liver transplant, heart transplant, biliary duct, and even brain surgery with an awake patient hahaha.
Furthermore, you will get to know about the different hospital departments such as the Emergency Department (ER), Pediatric Surgery Department, Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, Neurosurgery Department, Gynecology Department, Hepato-pancreatic-biliary Surgery Department, and so on.
The name of the respective departments may change depending on the hospital. But at least, every time you pass by the Gynecology department of a hospital, you will remember Professor Yang Seok-Hyung. I hope you get what I mean.
If you have finished season 1 and, are on your way to watching season 2. Then, you already know the meaning of PICU, OR, NICU, etc. The tv series reminds me of Grey’s Anatomy, particularly of the Cardiothoracic Surgeon at Seattle grace hospital.

Hospital Playlist is one of my favorite ensemble dramas. From the austere Jun Wan whose has a secret soft side to the brilliant energetic Dr. Chae and the irrepressible Dr. Lee, the cast scintillates with complex plots. I laugh, cry and revel in the musical summary at the end. The male leads are delightful.
