The selected photo set is a dedication to the two medical facilities that have taken a life of its own — the old and dependable Doldam Hospital and the newly established Trauma Center. The former has been a witness to many tales and life-death-life cycles of patients, its doctors and medical staff while the later is just beginning.
From seasons 1 to 3, Doldam Hospital, with its warm and subdued colors, wooden arches and lamps that seem to shine eternal has become a character that shapes and defines the people working there.
I love the shots that pan the entire lobby when a new character enters Doldam, especially at night when the old chandeliers are lit. The staircase leading to the President's Office and ICU is proud of its history. The hallway that leads to patients' rooms and offices is a setting from another time and place. Full of nostalgia and yet, it moulds the young doctors into the philosophy of Doldam as a hospital for all.
Kim Sabu has several projects in the works hinted in previous seasons, like the Oddball Project and the Rock Project. Season 3 may have ended neatly tied and tucked like a box to be stowed in the attic but the ending scene shows the two team of doctors running towards the respective doors of the hospital and the trauma center to meet their emergency patients.
How I wish all doctors are like that, especially in real life. Well, this is the purpose of Dr. Romantic and Kdrama of this sort. They remind you of an imperfect world populated by jaded people. There lies humanity and a reason to never lose it; to make the good choice despite the odds stacked against you.
And that epilogue where in Dr. Yoon is seen arriving in the dead of night at Doldam is a treat and teaser to fans. Aigoooo!!!
