JAKARTA - The Korean Drama Hospital Playlist shows its strength. After airing its 4th episode on Thursday, April 2, Nielsen Korea reported that the drama received the highest rating of 9.8 percent. This figure rose after the previous episode's broadcast received 8.6 percent.

It didn't stop there, one of the scenes in this episode also managed to grab the audience's attention with the highest rating reaching 11.2 percent. Reporting from Soompi, Friday, April 3, Hospital Playlist automatically became the highest compared to dramas that aired at the same time such as Find Me in Your Memory which won 4 percent and Meow the Secret Boy at 1.7 percent.

There is a separate factor why Hospital Playlist immediately gained great popularity among drama lovers. Apart from being a player, the story can be enjoyed by all ages. This drama tells the story of the friendship of five doctors in a hospital.

After all, production director Shin Won Ho's trademark was also evident. He is known to like to give 'puzzles' about the relationships that each character has. Considering that this has only entered episode 4, Hospital Playlist is still focusing on the background story of one character but does not forget the story on the side of the drama.

Lee Ikjun (Jo Jung Suk) had to face a divorce suit filed by his wife, while Jang Gyo Weol (Shin Hyun Bin) had to endure his love for An Jeong Won (Yoo Yeon Seok) due to not having the courage to reveal.

On the other hand, Chae Song Hwa (Jeon Mi Do) finds out who sent the shoes to him. This was a puzzle for the audience throughout the episode considering that Song Hwa was familiar with all the male characters in Yulje Hospital.

There are many stories that have not been revealed as long as the five are friends. Unfortunately, Hospital Playlist only has 12 episodes so we have to be patient waiting for a good ending for all the characters.

Meanwhile, the drama's latest soundtrack was sung by one of the actors, Jo Jung Suk. The Ikjun actor sang the latest version of Aloha which was popularized by the COOL group in 2001. This song was also sung during the gang scene in the hospital gang karaoke. This song can be listened to digitally.

Hospital Playlist airs every Thursday on the tvN television channel at 9 pm South Korean time. The latest episode can also be watched on streaming on demand service, Netflix.
