You were lying down on your side with your back facing the door, you were slowly starting to fall asleep when you heard the door open and close before hearing footsteps approaching the bed, you hear something being placed onto the nightstand before feeling the bed dip behind you and a hand sliding over your exposed hip slowly and softly at first before his fingers started digging into your skin as he pushes your shirt upwards.

“Relaxing a little?” He whispers into your ear, you could feel his breath fanning against your earlobe. You hum as a soft smile forms on your lips. “I’m going to disturb it just a little…” You feel his lips brush against the shell of your ear before feeling him pull your shirt higher, you lift your upper body slightly, allowing him to remove your top. “You were prepared for this,” He says as he discovers that you were braless.

“I was just planning to relax a little,” You mumble, blinking a few times. You hear and feel him reach for something before he moves you to lay down on your stomach before stranding the back of your thighs, pinning your legs down to the bed with his body. You hear something being opened before feeling your hair being moved out of the way, you gasp as you feel a low warmth liquid being poured onto your skin between your shoulder blades.

“I heated some coconut oil for this,” He mutters as he closes the lid of the container and places it on the bed. He leans over you and kisses the shell of your ear as his hands touch the top of your shoulders and slowly begin sliding them up and down, spearing the oil over your skin. “Relaxing some more?” His fingers were starting to press harder, and you could feel his palms also joining on, adding some pressure to the areas he was kneading.

“Hmm, ohh,” You moan out in response to how good it felt to have his hands on you, digging into your skin as he massaged you. You feel him shift slightly before feeling his hands starting to spread the oil lower. “Ohhh,” Your eyes flutter at the feeling, fuck, it felt so good, his hands felt so warm, fuck, you couldn’t even describe how good it felt. You feel his lips touch the top of your spine before kissing down until he reached between your shoulder blades, while his hands continue to move lower and lower. He sits upright, and you feel his hands dipping into your pants and begin spreading the oil over your asscheeks, kneading his fingers into them. “Ohh, that… Hak.”

“Feels good?” He asks in a soft tone. You could feel his fingers reach the bottom of your ass and press into the skin before he slides his hands over your ass, continuing to press his fingers into your skin as he does.

“Hmm, so mmh much,” You moan out. Your hands reach upwards, and you grip onto the pillow, his hands slide over to the side of your thighs before slowly sliding out your pants and over your sides. “So good, it feels so good,” His hands stop once he reaches your side boobs, and you feel his fingers softly kneading into them.

“Let me go get a towel quickly, and then I’ll turn you around,” He says. His hands disappear and so does the heat he was providing, you lift your head and turn it to look at him as you hear his footsteps fading away, you catch sight of his bare back and quickly realize he was shirtless, but how had you not felt it? How did you not notice it? Was he making you feel that good that you didn’t notice his heat radiating onto you? He reappears with a towel in his hand and moves toward the bed.

“When did you get rid of your shirt?” You ask, letting your eyes roam over his beautiful dark skin that you absolutely loved so damn much.

“When I was waiting for the oil to heat up,” He says, your eyes flicker towards the door and found his shirt hanging out the hamper near the doorway. He spreads the towel onto the bed before rolling you onto your back and onto the towel, his eyes roam over you, taking in all that is you, every part of you, the lines covering your stomach and the underside of your breasts and the ones reaching your underarms. “I still can’t believe how lucky I am,” He mutters as he picks up the coconut oil and opens it, he slowly drizzles it onto your chest before putting it down on the bedside table. “Sorry, it’s a little colder now.”

“Hmm, it’s fine… still feels nice,”  You mumble, you watch as he climbs onto the bed and moves to cup one of your breasts. “I’m the lucky one, you know…” His other hand moves to the waistband of your pants.

“How come you say that?” He says. His beautiful dark brown eyes lift from your chest to look at your face, and you could feel your skin heating up underneath his gaze. “Are you trying to tell me something?” You blink as you look at him.

“Yes,” You breathe out, feeling his fingers knead into your breast as he spreads the oil over your boob. “I’m trying to tell you that you’re handsome,” He licks his lips and pushes your waistband a little lower.

“And you’re beautiful,” He says. “Don’t you dare think less of yourself, every part of you is beautiful,” You could feel your heart swelling at his words, a warmth spreading through your heart. “I accept all of you, just like you accept all of me, no question,” You nod your head as a smile begins spreading onto your lips, his gaze moves away from your face and moments later he lowers his head and latches his lips onto your exposed hip bone and begins sucking a mark into your skin.

One of your hands moves down, and you run your fingers through his hair, pushing it back for a moment before it fell back into place, slightly dishevelled, you do it again, only stopping once your hand reaches the back of his head, and you press your fingers against his scalp. Your eyes begin fluttering as you feel him pushing your waistband lower, exposing the crease of your hip and part of your mound.

“Hmm,” You hum out and suck your bottom lip between your teeth. The tips of his fingers were rubbing over your mound as his palm rests against the crease of your hip. Your mind quickly fills with all kinds of filthy thoughts as your skin only heats up more and your breathing becomes shallower by the second. He pulls away from your hip and slides his hand on your breast over to your other, spreading the oil over your sternum before spreading it over your other breast, sliding his finger over your nipple several times and feeling it become hard as it slips underneath his finger. “Hmm, Hak…” He moves his head to the spot where he had pulled your pants lower and moved his hand away before kissing the crease of your hip. You lift your hips slightly, and he quickly pulls your pants down lower, stopping when they reached just above your knees.

“Eager, aren’t you?” He whispers, making you hum at the feeling of his hot breath hitting your skin. His hand slides over your mound, his fingers move through your hair as he slides them over to your thigh, and your grip tightens in his hair for a moment before loosening it. His hand slides from your breast, over your tummy, you could feel him spreading his fingers open over your tummy as he slides it over you. The oil slowly being spread over you.

“Ohh,” You sigh, your eyes fluttering at the warmth his hands were providing. His hand on your thigh disappears, and you feel it at the top of your chest, running it through the oil before he moves it back to your thigh and spreads the oil over the top of your thigh while his lips rest against the crease of your hip. You could feel his slow breathing against you, which spread a comforting feeling through you. “Feels so good…” You trail off. His hand slides from the top of your thigh to the inside, you visibly freeze at how close his hand was to your pussy.

“Are you okay, sweetheart?” He asks. His fingers knead into your thigh, and you could feel him slowly move his hand higher, stopping just before his fingers could touch your pussy lips, he slid his hand down until he reaches the fabric of your pants. You were certain he was teasing you by doing that movement.

“Hmm… all good,” You breathe out, pulling your hand away from his hair and gripping onto the sheets, earning a chuckle from him. His hand slides upwards once again, and you feel the side of his fingers brush against your pussy lips, he looks at you before pushing his finger harder against your folds and pushing past them.

“Ohh,” He moans out and rests his chin against the crease of your hip. “You’re enjoying this a little too much, aren’t you?” You could hear a squelching sound as he slowly moves his fingers through your folds, siding them against your pussy and rubbing your clit.

“Hak, oh my fuck,” You moan out, pushing your head against the pillow. You could feel your insides churning as something begins tightening in your abdomen. You feel the tips of his fingers touching your slit before they slide away and up to your clit, slowly rubbing around the nub and making you slightly lift your hips upwards. Your breathing almost sounded like a quiet whimper as you breathe out. Your fingers curl into the sheets, gripping them tightly. Your heels dig into the bed and your toes curl. “Ohh… my,” His fingers circle your clit before pressing them against the inside of your folds and sliding them down. You couldn’t think straight, not with his fingers touching you like this, and not with his breathing still against your hip. And as if he had read your mind, he lifts his head and slightly turns it, making you whimper as you feel his breathing against your mound and blowing against your hairs.

“It sounds so… delicious,” He mutters and takes in a deep breath before slowly blowing it out. “And it smells so delicious…” You let out a whimper and turn your head to the side, gasping for air. He slides his finger back up to your clit and presses down hard against the nub.

“OH!” You gasp out, feeling your muscles twitch as he pressed down on the bundle of nerves. “Hakyeon…” You swallow and turn your head back to look at him, his chin rests against your mound as he continues to slide his fingers along your pussy, spreading your arousal and pushing you closer to a release from just his touching. His fingers slide down to your slit and your jaw slacks as you feel a digit sliding into you. “Oh, oh…”

“You’re just sucking my finger right in,” He mutters, making you whimper. He slowly pushes his finger deeper into you before stopping when it was almost knuckles deep inside you. “So warm and wet, all from a massage…”

“That… massage had no innocent intentions,” You manage to say, he wiggles his finger inside you, making your legs jolt at the pleasurable feeling going through you.

“That’s a bold accusation,” He mutters before slowly pulling his finger out from you. Your hips lift off from the bed as you feel a second digit being pushed into you, stretching your walls and filling you. “You don’t have any proof.”

“Your fingers… are inside me,” You manage to breathe out. Fuck, his fingers were inside you and making you feel so good, so blissfully good. “I don’t need more… proof,” You gasp as he curls them inside you, rubbing the pads of his fingers against your walls and causing a tightening feeling to build inside you.

“Hmm… true,” He mutters before lifting his head and moving his gaze between your legs to watch his fingers. “And you’re sucking them in,” You whimper and wiggle your hips, making him smirk. “And enjoying it a lot also,” He slowly pulls them out from you before pushing them back in, making your arousal squelch at the movement. “Don’t you just love hearing that?” The sound quickly fills the room as he pumps his fingers in and out of you, your jaw clenches and loosens as you gasp for air.

“Hak… Yeon…” You moan out, your eyelids fluttering as they fight to close. You could feel the tension building and building inside you, your head was thrashing against the pillow and your hands were hurting from gripping onto the sheets. Your knees bend, and you drag your heels up until your legs were bent and your folds had spread more open for him.

“This… is in the way,” He mutters before you feel your shorts and panties being pulled down until they reached your ankles, his fingers inside you had slowed down for a moment as he focused on removing your clothes. “Better,” You hear the fabric hit the floor before feeling him completely settling between your legs and using his broad shoulders to push your legs even further apart. You could feel his warmth between your thighs, his bare skin rubbing against your bare skin. His fingers slide deeper into you, and your back arches as you feel his thumb touch just below your clit.

“Oh, oh, my, Yeon!” You moan out, your eyes closing as you feel the tension inside you close to snapping, you could see specs of dust forming behind your lids and slowly growing bigger and bigger. Your legs begin shaking as a warmth travels up them and moves towards where the tension was growing. “Oh…”

“Getting close?” He mutters, you feel his lips touch the inside of your thighs, his hair tickling your other thigh, and his thumb slides over your clit and presses down on the sensitive nub. Your toes curl into the sheets, and you feel the tension snap inside you, specs of dust quickly form into stars and your body quivers with pleasure.

“Hakyeon!” You moan out, your chest rising and falling as you come undone, your hips lifting and causing his fingers to slip deeper inside you for a second, you try and swallow the saliva building up in your mouth, and you squeeze your legs against his shoulders as you try and create more friction. His thumb circles over your clit, and his fingers slowly move in and out of you, easing you through your high. The only thing you could hear for several minutes was your own heartbeat racing and your own blood rushing through your veins. By the time you came down from your high, his fingers were no longer inside you, and he was standing at the door of the bed, his pants and boxers, gone.

“You get so lost in your own high,” He says. “It’s really a sight to see, one day… I’ll record it and show you,” He climbs onto the bed as you swallow at his words, your eyes move down, and you watch as pre-cum glistened on the head of his hard cock.

“Oh…” You whimper as he places it on your mound, making you feel his hot pre-cum drip onto your mound and slowly slide over it and mix with your hairs. He slowly slides it down and over your folds, making you feel how warm and sticky it was. “Hakyeeeoonnn,” You whine out and watch as he smirks.

“You’re so needy,” He whispers and pushes the head of his cock past your folds and slowly slides it along you, coating himself in your arousal. “I can’t blame you,” You let out a whine and move to sit upright, only for him to push you back down with his other hand that wasn’t wrapped around his cock. “Lay down.”

“Then put it in,” You mutter as a pout forms on your lips. He chuckles and taps the head of his cock against your clit, making your stomach muscles twitch at the feeling of your throbbing clit receiving attention. “Hakyeon!” You gasp, his hand slides to your breast, and he presses down against it, he looks between your legs, and you watch as his hair moves slightly in front of his eyes. “Oh… ohhh,” Your eyes flutter as you feel him pushing the head into you.

“Ohh… you feel so welcoming,” He groans out. He slowly pushes himself into you, making you feel every inch, even the way he was shaped and the prominent vein on his cock, he releases his cock and presses his hand against your hip bone. “Fuck… I forgot the pillow,” You quickly reach up and grab onto a pillow, pulling it down and almost tossing it against his chest. “Fuck… you’re just so eager, do you know how much I love that?” He takes the pillow, and you lift your hips, causing him to slide deeper into you.

“OH,” You moan loudly, your eyes shut for a few seconds and your muscles tensing as you feel your walls being stretched and being filled by him. “Oh, oh, my…” You feel him slip the pillow underneath your hips before you lower your hips, you open your eyes and look up at him, finding his hair damp already. “Fuck…”

“Oh, uh,” He groans, feeling your walls pulse around his cock as he bottoms out inside you. His hips against yours before he leans over, pushing his front against yours, making you feel his stomach move as his muscles twitch and tense. “Fuck…”

“Oh… oh, hmm,” You moan as you feel his warmth surrounds you. “You’re gonna be covered in oil also,” He hums and lifts his hips, slowly sliding halfway out of you before pushing back into you. You feel your breath gets caught in your throat for a moment before you take in a deep breath. “Hmm…”

“I’ll be covered in you also,” He groans out. The sound of your arousal moving quickly fills the room, and the sound of his hips hitting yours quickly joins it also. The sound of your moans and groans mixed together bounce off the walls. You reach up and grip his shoulder with one hand and slide your other hand over the back of his neck before twisting your fingers into his hair.

“Hmm…” You moan out and push your hand down on the back of his head, pulling him down for a kiss. His lips move with yours, and you swallow each other’s gasps and moans, your body felt extremely hot as his cock continues to move inside you. You break the kiss and gasp for air. “Fuck, Hakyeon…” You lift your legs and wrap them around his waist, digging your heels into his ass.

“Hmm, fuck, you want more?” He groans out, you could see droplets of sweat forming on his skin and slowly rolling over his beautiful tanned skin. You dig your heels into his ass, making him let out a grunt. You feel him lift his hips before thrusting into you with a hard thrust, causing your tits to bounce against his chest.

“Oh, oh, fuck, fuck,” You moan out, your nails digging into his skin and creating crescent moon shapes on his skin. Your fingers in his hair dig into his scalp and your hips to meet his. “Oh, fuck,” You could feel a high quickly forming inside you, and heat rushing towards the tension.

“Fuck… your walls,” He groans out, your walls were pulsing around him, milking his cock for an orgasm. “You feel so good,” His tone sounded strained as he spoke. One of his hands moves down your side and over your thighs before slipping between your bodies and slowly sliding over your mound. “You’re close. Fuck.”

“Hmm…” You whimper, and feel his fingers slide along your folds. “Hak…” His fingers swipe over your clit, causing your back to arch and your hips to lift and him to slide deeper into you. “Fuck!” You gasp out, your eyelids close, and your eyes roll to the back of your head behind them. “Fuck, fuck…” A rush of electricity goes through you, and it slams into the tension that had built inside you, causing it to come undone. “Hakyeon!” Your body trembles beneath him with pleasure as you release around his cock.

“Fuck, fuck, that’s it,” He groans out, feeling as your release spills from around him and splatters into his thighs as he thrusts harshly into you. “Fuck,” He grunts, his head drops against your shoulder as his mind begins spinning. His finger rubs your clit faster and faster as he tries to ease you through your high, while also starting to chase his own high. “Fuck.”

“HAKYEON!” You scream out. Your body shakes beneath him, your heels slide over his ass as you try to dig them into him. “Fuck, oh, my fuck, that…” You gasp as your breath gets caught in your throat, he lifts his head, and you immediately begin thrashing your head against the pillows. “Fuck, fuck,” He groans as he feels your walls squeezing him. He could feel the head of his cock starting to pulse and let out a low groan, which only caused you to squeeze him harder.

“Fuck… Oh, my fuck…” He groans, his hips stutter for a moment, and you could feel another tightening feeling building inside you, his finger not giving you any mercy as he continues to rub your clit. “Fuck…”

“Hakyeon, oh my fuck,” You babble out, your hips lift, and you meet his thrusts halfway, he lets out another low groan. Fuck, his sounds, all the sounds, everything. “Fuck!” Stars explode behind your lids again as another high hit you faster than the last one, your hands release his shoulder and his hair and grip onto the sheets beneath you. He sits upright on his knees and moves his finger away from your clit and grips onto the crease of your hips. “Hak… Yeon…” He rolls his hips harshly and hastily into yours, his movements becoming sloppy.

“Fuck…” He grunts, swallowing loudly at how your walls were making him feel. “So close… I’m gonna…” You clench around him, hearing how strained his voice sounded, fuck, it sounded so hot, and it seemed like it was all he needed for him to come undone. A low groan leaves the back of his throat, and he throws his head back, burying his cock deep inside you and coating your walls with his load. “Fuckfuckfuck,” You open your eyes as you were coming down from your high, watching as sweat droplets run down his chest, over his neck, you watch as his Adam’s apple bob as he swallows and moans and gasps for air. Fuck, he was such a sight, a sight you could never get tired of.

“Fuck…” You whisper, swallowing, you were absolutely fucked with this man above you, he had you, every part of you, and you considered yourself lucky to be able to see him in such a vulnerable state also. All of him… was yours, just like all of you were his. “Ohh, ohmm,” He lifts his head and looks down at you, his hair sticking to his forehead and looking slightly dishevelled, his skin glistened with sweat and oil.

“Was that not enough?” He mutters as he feels your walls squeeze around his softening cock. “Do you need more, you insatiable girl?”

“What can I say… my forever boyfriend is just that good-looking,” You say, stroking his ego, he smiles and softly chuckles and leans over you, his nose brushing against yours.

“You’ve got that right, I’m very good-looking, and I look even better when you’re by my side,” He whispers, before pushing his lips to yours, you unwrap your legs from around him and entangle your lower legs with his, you feel yourself being moved and when you open your eyes, you find yourself on top of him and him looking up at you. “That’s better…”

“Are you sure?” You ask, a teasing smile on your lips as you move to sit upright, whimpering at the shift of his cock inside you.

“If you want more… You’ll need to do the work,” He says, moving his hands behind his head, you watch as his muscles bulge as he does.

“Hmm… we will see how long you stick to those words…” You mutter, your focus drifting to your walls and his cock that was still inside you.

“Oh… Oh, that’s unfair,” He groans out. You giggle and place your hands on his chest before leaning over and brushing your nose against his.

“I think…” You begin, and squeeze your walls around him again, earning another groan from him. “It’s quite fair,” You finish before softly kissing him.

Let’s talk about Hospital Playlist. (KDRAMA REVIEW)

note: does contain spoilers

When people ask me what is my favorite Korean drama of all time, with no doubt, IT’S HOSPITAL PLAYLIST. This drama has the comic relief, the emotional scenes, realistic characters-just to name a few. No toxic relationships and petty revenge fights. Nothing else will stop me for saying that this is the ultimate feel good drama.

SYNOPSIS: The drama shows insights into the daily lives of doctors and nurses working at Yulje Medical Hospital. It focuses on 5 doctors who have been friends since medical school, who also play together as a band.

This drama encompasses so many elements and characters so bear with me yo this might be real long 

Hospital Playlist is produced/written by the Shin-Lee PD and writer pairing, whose previous works were the renowned Reply trilogy and Prison Playbook (which are *chef’s kiss*) I really like that all their dramas really highlight humanism, and puts emphasis on creating a heartwarming and realistic series. There isn’t always a major conflict to be resolved, but instead it showcases how different people-in this case mostly those in the medical field-go on about their daily lives.  I also liked their reasoning to produce a medical drama which was that hospitals were where the most dramatic moments occurred, for example during births, deaths or sickness. And since we are still in the Covid-19 pandemic, it ties in greatly to be paying homage to all the medical personnel saving lives. Hence, props to those who were involved in this meaningful masterpiece <3

The drama is not the usual 16 episodes, but has 12 episodes for each season (SEASON 2 IS COMING SOON YAAS) Good thing is I felt that they were still able to weave a dynamic storyline in the first season even with lesser episodes. The writing was just top-notch with the witty humor bits. Additionally, the music is AMAZING. I love the concept of the main characters being a band and playing different songs every episode too.

Okay, now onto the characters. I thought that every character in this drama was well rounded. Starting of with the main five characters, also known as The 99ers, whose distinctive personalities and natural chemistry make all of them extremely likeable. All main characters are professors of different specialties, and I find the male OB-GYN (Seokhyeong) and female neurosurgeon (Songhwa) very refreshing. Also, I like Shin-Lee dramas always have characters that might be realistic yet hardly seen in other dramas or films. For example, Professor Ahn Jeongwon. Despite being a chaebol (inheritor/heir), he isn’t depicted as a spoilt brat or a cold character, instead as a warm Pediatric doctor who uses his wealth to secretly support patients in need. However it makes him stingy to his friends LOL

To be honest, I really thought I was gonna dislike Junwan due to his cold and tsundere nature. I pretty much believed that he was going to be the party pooper type of the bunch, but with the writer being a master of character development, he turned out to be really sincere and hilarious at times. Same for Ikjun, who apart from his enthusiastic and happy go lucky exterior, cares the most about the people around him. Although Seokhyeong seemed detached and introverted, he shows a emotional side to his friends as well as his mother. Songhwa is literally a girlboss though haha she’s smart, capable and gets along with everyone well. And she’s the most sane out of the bunch. 

With all the main characters, we have the relationships. Junwan is the first to date seriously with Iksun (the dog or Micky? jkjk) who is Ikjun’s sister. When it first happened I was like not again Jung Kyung Ho (bc he dated his best friend’s sis in prison playbook too LMAO) I think their relationship was realistic and open. It also showed a more sensitive side to Junwan who would do anything for her. I especially liked how he said he didn’t need access to her phone because he trusted her. Yet as all couples do, they have their fair share of ups and downs. Like conflicts on getting married and a long distance relationship as Iksun moves overseas for graduate studies. I don’t really know how to take the ambiguous ending for these two, as Junwan receives the returned box (that has the ring he sent) I really hope nothing bad happens to these two though.

I’m sure we all love Wintergarden couple though, tbh they’re kinda my OTP at the moment 🤣 It was pretty much a ‘will they won’t they’ relationship with a relatively slow build. I think Gyeoul turned out to be one of my favourite characters. Shin Hyun Been did a good job at portraying her as a straightforward but innocent Resident, who is pretty much openly crushing on Jeongwon. The scenes they had together were adorably awkward (and the scene where he gives her chocopies omg) And when Jeongwon battles his inner conflict to become a priest, the final decision where they kiss was beautifully shot, with the actors both showcasing their emotions extremely well. 

Then we have Chihong who pursues Songhwa, his professor. Midway through the drama, it is also shown that Ikjun and Songhwa might have had romantic feelings for each other. Songhwa ends up rejecting Chihong’s confession. In my opinion, Chihong was quite a interesting character but I didn’t really like him at the end. (I like the actor though) He did a real jerk move during drinking games, insisting on Ikjun to confess his feelings towards her even though he is already trying not to put Songhwa in an awkward spot. Although his character did end up making a cool exit and when I thought about his incredible story of soldier to doctor, I kinda regret disliking him that much. As for IkSong, In the final episode Ikjun confesses to her one last time, and we are left waiting for Songhwa’s reply. As much as I love this pairing, I don’t think that the ship will sail or maybe not as quickly as we think. I believe Songhwa would meticulously consider the sacrifices to their friendship or other aspects and might not be able to bring herself to it, but I hope it’s otherwise. 

Lastly not forgetting Seokhyeong and Minha, another Professor+resident pairing. This one’s a bit ambiguous though, mainly because there hasn’t been much romantic development. To me, the most impactful scene came from Minha who had been irritated by continuous night shifts and was on the verge of a breakdown. She ended up remarkably saving a patient, starting off surgery on her own for the first time. Oh man Minha was such a lovable character, I remember feeling so bad for her but extremely proud of her for her accomplishment. Although Seokhyeong seemed a bit aloof and distant (which was intentional bc he’s an introvert) I think the backstory and all the hardships he faced with his family really made me feel for him. I hate to break it to you, but I’m not so sure if the ship will sail because of the phone call from his ex-wife and Minha’s somewhat rejected confession. But who knows, they might pull off a twist 👀

Apart from all these characters, there are more characters HHAHAH However, I think this is the killing point of ShinLee dramas. Unlike typical dramas which usually focuses on a main character and 2-3 side characters, they like to cast a diverse range of actors (especially those from theatre/musicals and lesser known drama/movie actors) while actually give their characters personality or a reason to be there. I’ve seen many dramas where extras or side characters were kind of irrelevant thus making me feel that they weren’t needed to build the storyline, yet ShinLee dramas hit different y’all. Every role, no matter how small, holds significance to the drama. It really seemed like a collaborative work that shows off every actors skills (and not forgetting staffs) and teamwork.

Anyways because there are way too many characters and too many scenes for me to mention them all, I’ll just talk about some honourable mentions heheh

1. Sunbin and Seokmin confession scene (ahh so cute)

I kinda sensed that they liked each other at the start but I didn’t know Seokmin would ask her out on a date at the end. Even though it’s kinda awkward that they are dating and working with each other though (both are in the same department) but hey the confession was cute and awkward and just warm and fuzzy 🥰

2. MAMA ROSA IS THE QUEENN

I think we all (would) love Mama Rosa because she’s a real one ☝️ (probably the coolest mother ever) She’s feisty, hilarious and kind to others. Plus her friendship with Ju Jong Su was just adorable and super wholesome. The scenes where they were supporting one another through tough times and hanging out with each other when they felt lonely always put a smile on my face. Oh and how Mama Rosa treated Gyeoul was extremely sweet. (as well as Seokhyeong’s mother) Despite her tough exterior, she’s a likeable character for being a strong but caring woman.

3. Just Do Jae Hak

I seriously love this guy so muchhh omg he’s so funny

Do Jae Hak has a funny amd clumsy personality, though it’s clear he’s been through a lot and is strong willed person. From admitting his indecisiveness to counselling Jun Wan on his love issues, there’s literally nothing to hate about him.

4. Uju and his dadd

The father and son chemistry between these two is so good omg. The scenes with these two are so adorable and heartwarming (not to mention hilarious) It’s amazing to see how Ikjun cares so much for Uju despite his hectic workdays while going through infidelity issues with his ex-wife. Uju is matured for his age and shows his love and appreciation for his dad too, making their interaction a great portrayal of a healthy family relationship💞

5. the food stealing the show🥘

Who doesn’t love food and when a show has great food scenes? Some of the best scenes are definitely when the 99s gather to eat. It really showcases each character’s personality with the tiniest details as well as highlight warm delicious meals. Just don’t watch this when you’re hungry at 2am in the morning guys you’ll be drooling all over your screens HAHAHA

Of course there are way more aspects, like Hongdo and Yoonbok, Ikjun and Iksun’s pigeon jokes and raps, or Jeongwon drunk crying in the chicken shop with his brother (who was his coach in Reply 1994 when he played Chilbong LOL)

Most importantly, I think it is the themes and messages that you get from the drama that really create such a lasting impression. Not only does it hit you in the feels with the hardships of hospital patients, or the hardworking doctors+nurses who are working long shifts saving lives, it also tackles topics of friendships through the possibilities of platonic and friends-to-lovers relationships. However I think the biggest lesson for me came from Seokhyeong, who learns to live his life doing what he want, with the people he treasures. Although the drama might seem slow at times (mainly because there isn’t really a main plot line/conflict occurring), but this drama would still bring you on a journey where you would laugh, cry and finish the series, begging for season 2 ✌🏻
