‘Doctor Slump’ K-Drama review: Park Shin-hye and Park Hyung-sik shine in a show about friendship, love, and healing

The Hindu  

In a teary confrontation with her mother after she finds out about her mental health diagnosis, Nam Ha-neul tells her she has pushed herself too hard, and that this has led to an illness of the mind. The recently concluded K-drama Doctor Slump chooses not to look too far to make valid points about mental health, the pressures of everyday life, and a subsequent healing journey. “I want a healthy daughter instead of a successful one,” Ha-neul’s mother tells her via a text message, diligently researching foods best for her health, and ensuring her room has ample sunshine and plants. In Doctor Slump, the throwback to Jeong-woo and Ha-neul’s high school rivalry is largely contained to the first half of the show. Doctor Slump Director: Oh Hyung-jong Episodes: 16 Runtime: One hour Cast: Park Hyung-sik, Park Shin-hye, Yoon Park, Gong Seong-ha Synopsis: A pair of former high school academic rivals reunite in the present day, and navigate life, love, and healing The shadowy presence of Min Kyung-min, Jeong-woo’s friend, and his sinister intentions are a big stumbling block towards the characters’ healing journeys – even resulting in the proverbial mid-show breakup.
