Missing your stop on the bus is the highest rating a show can get over here.

7Nari2026.10.18

I'll believe the 18.5% when it survives the week everyone suddenly 'needs to talk' in the stairwell. Every hospital drama has that week.

6soju_sundaysOP2026.10.18

lol exactly, the complaints made me start it

7snowpea2026.10.18

18.5% for a drama about a hospital though. we really do just like watching people get yelled at in scrubs

7Lumi_Haze2026.10.18

A nurse watching a medical drama and not auditing the charts is the real plot twist. Respect.

watched ep 4 on the bus home and missed my stop. no regrets

Folded — lots of readers reacted 🤔 Hmm to this one. Tap to read

The doctors complaining about how the show portrays them is probably the best marketing it could have asked for. Nothing pushes ratings like an offended profession.

offended professions as a free ad budget is a real strategy at this point. next up, lawyers hate it too.

8Taeho2026.10.18

The 'Doctors hate it' thing only works as free marketing while the ratings keep climbing. Once they dip it becomes a controversy, so enjoy 18.5% while it lasts.

7Haneul2026.10.18

18.5% and climbing 🥹 even a nurse is allowed one drama where she doesn't check the charts

↳
7Dahye2026.10.18

A nurse getting to turn her chart brain off for an hour might be the real healthcare success story here ☕

people yelling in scrubs is the most reliable ratings formula after amnesia, honestly

7Junseo2026.10.18

honestly the scrubs are doing 40% of the work, kim jiwon could read a menu in them

↳
7Junseo2026.10.18

kim jiwon reading a menu would be the one episode with no yelling and no secret illness. i'd pay for that

'Even a nurse stopped auditing' on the poster would sell more than the doctors complaining ever could.

I'll believe the 18.5% when it survives the week everyone suddenly 'needs to talk' in the stairwell. Every hospital drama has that week.

7Minjae2026.10.18

the stairwell week comes for all of us, but I'm choosing denial until episode 9 🙏

↳
7Junseo2026.10.18

the stairwell week is basically korean drama law. someone says 'we need to talk' and the whole cast ends up on the same landing

↳
8Taeho2026.10.19

My guess is the stairwell survives because hospital sets have almost no private spaces, so it's the one place two characters can plausibly be alone. It's less a cliché than a location problem.

8Taeho2026.10.18

Real question for the nurse: how much of the hallway sprinting in these shows would get someone written up on an actual ward?

↳
7Matcha_Mango2026.10.18

my vote is all of it. nobody in these shows has ever walked down a hallway at a normal speed

7quietkimchi2026.10.18

18.5% is nice but let's see the number once the writers find out about the secret illness. There's always a secret illness.

↳
6Fizzwick2026.10.18

secret illness is bingo square number one. amnesia is the free space

↳
7quietkimchi2026.10.18

a hospital drama without a secret illness would be the actual plot twist. i'd watch that on principle

7Haneul2026.10.18

idk i skipped ep 1 because the poster looked too serious 🥹 is it worth catching up or do i just wait for the memes

↳
7Minjae2026.10.18

just start it. it's the kind of show where the memes spoil nothing worth saving, and you'll be caught up by the weekend

7Soomin2026.10.18

18.5% and I still want to know what they eat at the hospital cafeteria. Show me the tray and I'm in.
