A tragedy is not romantic
Ok, I've been watching Dr. Romantic 3 and since last week, I've been meaning to comment on it. First of all, I know most kdrama discourse has moved over to tiktok during my absence. But I need to say this. And for a drama to make me regain my passion for meta essays is awesome.
I absolutely love Ahn Hyo Seop performance in this season. It's been literally a year since a performance moved me so much. I spent days still feeling the chills whenever I remembered the episodes of disaster relief.
Having said that, I want to emphasize on this week's episodes. Some people think the main issue is the jealousy Seo Woo Jin seems to have against Kang Dong Joo. But, in my opinion, these episodes are not aimed at settling the fan war about who the better doctor is, but at master Kim's realization that both of his brightest students are flawed, because they've pursued his teachings this far.
Seo Woo Jin literally can't imagine resting because it means, for him, that he's wasting time not saving lives. His hand is not worth the same as the lives being lost. Doctor Seo has proved time and time again that his main problem is that he fails to put himself first. This has been persistent since we first met him. He is reckless in his pursuit of saving lives.
On the other hand, Kang Dong Joo, ever since we first met him, has pursued recognition. Because that's the way he thinks he can save the most lives. This is not a flaw on itself, but in this episode we saw how he has trouble asking for help. He could have called Master Kim at any moment, but feared that he would fail in Master Kim's eyes, even though Master Kim himself said he could reach for help at any moment.
Doctor Seo and Doctor Kang have always been meant to resemble each other, because they are meant to pursuit resemblance to Master Kim. Neither is better than the other, because when Master Kim walked into that Trauma Room, he did not see Doctor Kang as more brilliant, or Doctor Seo as more determined.
What he saw was his best students, and specifically doctor Seo who sees him as a father figure, break themselves in the pursuit of medicine. He saw doctor Kang unable to ask for help when he most needed it, and doctor Seo unable to rest when he most needed it.
Medicine is meant to be romantic, and while self-sacrifice is romantic, it can easily turn into a tragedy. The older student broke his own expectations, and the younger one put his tools at risk, because they so desperately wanted to be like their idol.
Like doctor Kang said, only Master Kim can be Master Kim. They don't need to resemble him, they need to become doctors with their own set of ideals, who know their own limits. Master Kim has come to the realization that he may have pushed them too far without realizing. That yes, they are brilliant, but oh, so human.
This is just another knock of reality that Master Kim keeps receiving ever since Woo Jin injured his hand. His teachings are not dangerous, we can see how other doctors have coped better with them. It's just that these two particular students are stubborn and think in extremes, they want to be the best doctors they know they can be, but are pushing themselves to the edge without taking a break.
A teacher is meant to nurture those gentle and fragile sides as well, and Master Kim is trying his best, but the foundations for their mentalities started way before he instilled gentleness in them.

#HanSukKyu's acting has me speechless. He brings so much depth and emotion to his character that it's impossible not to be mesmerized. His ability to convey so much with just a single look is nothing short of impressive. 🙌🏼❤️

i’m seeing people turning on seo woojin after this week’s episode (it was a couple people on twitter) and saying that he deserved to get hurt because of his reckless or it should’ve been worse and that eunjae should break up with him for how he shows no self preservation and it’s just like are you all missing the point?
i genuinely don’t think the writers coincidentally used other characters to point out that seo woojin is just like kim sabu and how he’s only been in increasingly dangerous situations like cmon there’s no way they don’t have a plan for his season arc
i’m more worried about eunjae getting more sidelined cause of her annoying dad who really shouldn’t get a redemption arc imo

Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim Season 3 EP 1 🩺
(낭만닥터 김사부 S3)
My favorite KDrama series of all time is backkkk!!! From Season 1 up to now, I still have the same excitement and love for this. The 1st episode is so good. A very good build up, introduction and continuation. Here are some of my favorite parts of the episode:
First, I am amazed in this ultrasound tech. Omo, the upgrade! I remember the old one where they need to slap the machine to work. I'm so dramatic!
Kim sabu surprising the new characters with his magnificent ways which we are so used to but still feels incredible everytime!
Yes, he can!
The fact that the trauma center is connected to the doldam hospital! It is indeed a memorable way of opening this unfinished building with the odd 1st emergency case about NK defectors and the emphasis on medical and political conflict. Omooo I'm so invested! Doesn't disappoint everytime!
Of course, our reset couple now with 3 years relationship. And now living together. Finally in the dating era. Accckkk!
New problematic character. You failed to annoy me because I know you will change. I just know.
Dr. Bae and his bones! He brought it to the plane y'all, his personal scratcher! Jessieee~ Elizabethhhh~
The way Head Nurse Oh used reverse psychology on Dr. Yang. Hahahaha this is so funny!
Cha Eun Jae's father being Kim sabu's rival in Goesan university. This is gonna be good. Will he be an ally or an enemy?
Looking forward to all episodes. I feel nice. ❤️
Recommended 1000/10 all seasons!

People kneel down, bow and stay silent to make themselves feel better and avoid problems, thinking it's not worth the fight.
If You make excuses and get used to that, you'll end up becoming a worthless person who deserves to be mistreated all the time..

Sarah & Lisa
In a small corner of the school, there were two girls who had become true friends. Their names were Sarah and Lisa. Despite their differences in many ways, they found a strong friendship in their shared love for books. That corner was the school library, where they spent most of their time together.
Sarah, a spirited and fast-talking girl, often helped the quieter Lisa explore the world of books. They would sit there, among the bookshelves, talking about adventures in the world of fiction, debating about characters, and borrowing books from each other. Their friendship taught them that shared interests could be a strong foundation for a deep connection.
The library corner became the place where they learned more than just words in books. They learned about trust, cooperation, and how to support each other in the exploration of life. Although both of them would pursue different paths as they grew up, their friendship in the school corner would always be a precious part of their childhood memories. []

This season we have seen subtle signs of how alike woojin and kim sabu are. And it peaked on ep9 with the whole self sacrificial actions he makes.
Woojin doesnt see much fault in it since patients are number one priorty to him. But the people around him are getting more and more worried, scared and possibly anxious (in cha eun jaes case).
And I think this was a wake-up call for kim sabu. When it was him he didn't care as long as he could save the patient(s). But now it is someone else putting themselves in danger for the same thing and this time it's kim sabu who has to watch them get hurt. He is experiencing the horrors of (nearly) loosing someone because they followed the same path as him.
Because they disregarded their lives when a patient's is on the line.
Because they acted recklessly to save someone elses life.
Because they got seriously hurt doing so.
Because even if they lived they might not be able to continue their profession.
It's a nightmare situation to him.
#dr romantic#dr romantic 3#I have a lot of thoughts#of course I do#also I think we had the signs that woojin was a lot like kim sabu in s2#he just needed a bit of a push
