During the conversation, Jun Wan asks what everyone is doing but is shut down by everyone even Song Hwa who casually drops that she and Ik Jun will be going on a date and a walk, they don’t take her seriously. She says they’re dating but the boys bet their most precious things to that, when she asks them to say it again so she could record it, they’re all stunned.
Later, Jeong Won meets up with Gyeo Wool and she encourages him to take on a risky operation, she agrees to meet on the weekend because she has something to tell him. They end their meeting with a hug but once interrupted shake and act as if nothing happened.
At night, in the garden, Seok Hyung tells Song Hwa he’s dating and will tell his mother today, he’s prepared a lot of things to make sure she doesn’t interrupt. Song Hwa tells Seok Hyung again about dating Ik Jun he’s surprised and keeps laughing, he almost can’t believe it. He’s very happy for them.

“Hospital Playlist 2” episode 12 review
That was beautiful and true to the “Hospital Playlist” brand, I wished we’d seen more of the couples’ interactions rather than scenes where doctors do surgery but it was still a beautiful ending.
“Hospital Playlist 2” has been a fun ride, this is the type of slice-of-life kdrama that you really can’t say many bad things about.
I did think the episodes run time was too long and the surgeries topics became tedious after a while, but my complaints are more of a nitpick rather than something major, truly, the drama was masterfully made, the production team leaves not much room for criticism. You can tell they pay special attention to details and this alone makes me happy.
As you guys know, “Hospital Playlist” is likely not returning with a 3rd season. I don’t think there is a need for it, but at the same time, I understand why so many would love to see it return again. It carries a sweet message and a fun relatable cast, the drama is well-made and it’s fun to catch up with these doctors every once in a while.
I am glad they sort of closed it and alerted the audience to the fact that a 3rd season is going to be difficult.
“Hospital Playlist” is one of those kdramas that are nearly perfect, they are not for everyone but almost everyone who watches it has nothing but nice things to say about it.
Hopefully one day, we get to catch up with these amazing doctors doing amazing things.
Thank you to the cast and crew of “Hospital Playlist” for doing an amazing job.
So these are my thoughts on “Hospital Playlist 2” ending, so what about you guys? did you like the episodes? let me know what you thought in the comment section below.
Just now I completed it!! And man whoever did watch it they r missing a beautiful journey and roller coaster of emotions!! And yes I think they same as u they could have cutted the surgery part a lil.. but the ending was so beautiful.. I missed our u ju in the end!! Hope we can see more dramas like these!!
Maybe its be because they did not have enough time to put that scene in but I would have love to see seokhyung tell him mum about minha. Another thing I felt like bidulgi’s reunion could have been abit better. But other than that ep 12 has been honestly so good and I feel like the director and writer tried their best to give tie all the stories together
I’ll probably be a party pooper here, but I have to say I was really disappointed by the Season 2. I couldn’t believe it was the same tandem or writer-director who made the Season 1…During all 12 episodes it was mostly “tell, not show”.. The mysterious illness of Ik-sun, which caused her to disappear from the season 2 and breaking up with Jun-wan – the writers never bothered to shed a light on what happened, the story of Gyeo-ul’s mom (also told over a dinner with Jeong-won, once again – told, not shown), which the writers deemed to be enough to put a stop in their relationship. At the end – out of the blue, the announcement that they go to US together, again told over a dinner..How is it ok? At the end I had an impression that I am watching a play in a theatre, not a drama. The patients stories were less interesting (except in 11 and 12th episode when they finally made an effort)..Overall, 2 out of 5 main characters did not have any development at all in the Season 2 (Jun-Wan and Jeong-won). I was also expecting some funny moments when the mom of Seok-hyeong would recognise the girl from the cafe in Min-ha, but again, his mom just told her friend that she met her or smth….again told not shown…So yeah, pretty disappointing season 2 for me..
