“Doctor Slump” ending review
that was a sweet ending that would make anyone who tuned in to the drama happy, me included.
“Doctor Slump” has been fine, it’s a fine drama with some standout moments here and there, it faltered between boring and intriguing eventually unable to keep its balance, but I personally liked it.
I wouldn’t say this drama was particularly memorable in the long run, but it was sweet enough. Any person who loves the actors involved in this project will probably love this drama, not unless they don’t like slower dramas.
Thank you to the staff and cast of “Doctor Slump” for your hard work.
