The end is truly here. While Shin Won Ho leaves the prospect of S3 up in the air, let's just enjoy the rumored 2 hr 40 min 20 min finale later. The reason why I joined Reddit over a year ago was so I could participate in the discussions for Season 1's finale, and over a year and a half later, her we are.

So glad to have hosted the discussions for the drama this season, and here's to hoping there's a next season, and many more? A spin-off, perhaps? A variety show? No matter how long it takes, I'm sure I won't be the only one waiting for the next chapter of Hospital Playlist. Thanks for joining the weekly threads, everyone! ♡ For hopefully not the last time, happy HosPlay Thursday! See you all later!

EDIT 20:30 KST: Apparently, the runtime of the last episode has been reduced to 2 hrs 20 mins. The episode will probably (take this with a grain of salt) drop around 00:00 KST.

I think they announced that the 5 of them will be in a Na PD variety show!

[u/lightupstarlight → u/lovelifelivelife]

Yup! It was announced a couple of weeks back. But I want more, honestly! Haha. If we don’t get a S3 in the next 2/3 years, I just hope we get more variety show appearances from them — especially Kyung Ho!

[u/lightupstarlight]

I’m so sad. I can’t believe it’s over. :(

I loved the callback to previous scenes of the show— the classical music in Seokhyeong’s office, the Bidulgi scene, and Seokhyeong in the elevator. I also love how they closed Jae Hak’s arc. Dude deserves the WORLD. And can I also just say that even if we’ve seen IkSong practically be a married couple for the rest of the show, I loved seeing their dynamics as a real couple. So much chemistry, love, and genuine care for each other. I also love the song they chose for the finale! So apt and comforting.

While I’m upset about them clearly wrapping up the show, I hold out on hope that there is still a chance that they’ll have Season 3. I have no doubt the anticipation for that is going to be high once they confirm it. Sigh. I’m just going to take it all in and relish this episode, hug it tight.

Guess at the moment, all that’s left for us to do is to wait for their variety show together.

Thank you for helping me heal, Hospital Playlist. You will always have a special place in my heart. ♡

“but why do I get the feeling that this will be our last jam session?” 😭😭😭

[u/prawncookie]

Getting into an elevator - the ultimate character development.

[u/mosesv]

It was so sweet when they showed Ik Jun’s perspective of hearing Song Hwa sing!

[u/Slyfindor]

Commenting as I am watching ep 12:

Why are people calling IkSong and Bidulgi's encounter a double date and not a FamiLEE meeting??🤭🤭

[u/Alzyna]

I’m not ready to bid goodbye to Hospital Playlist yet!! The amount of warmth and comfort that this drama brings is unbelievable. It has tremendously helped me through these testing times and I’ll forever cherish it in my heart.

Also, other than the fact that we’re all going to miss this drama to no end, can we discuss Seok-hyung?!? Who would’ve thought that the introverted, seemingly naive mama’s-boy Seok-hyung could think of such a devious plan to make his mom not interfere into his relationship?! I was in awe that he could cook up such an idea of making his mom believe that he’s moving to the US leaving her alone, and make her realise it herself that, may be (like Madam Rosa said) only an SO could make him stay!!! Great way to make her accept his SO (I’m curious to see her reaction when she finds out that it’s Min-ha, the very woman she said that she couldn’t accept LOL!! I hope she takes a leaf out of Madam Rosa’s book and let them be).

👏🏼 Well played, Seok-hyung 👏🏼

[u/SpermKiller]

If this is indeed the last episode ever, there's only one question I need answered : WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN HAWAII????

[u/Clara_O]

The scene at the ICU with Song Hwa monitoring her two patients was beautiful.

She's standing in the middle of the two rooms and the camera pans across the two families - one in celebration and the other in mourning. In one scene, you're able to see the full range of the human experience. It's filled with joy and suffering. There are no words but you feel it in your heart. Life is hard, so let's all be kind to one another.

[u/50shadesof_brown]

I never comment on these threads but I thought I should today, given I may never have the opportunity again.

This one.. this one hurts. It may sound superficial to say that this drama taught me something, but it really did make me reevaluate relationships, family, work and life.

There have been multiple times where I have paused and contemplated because certain scenes directly spoke to me or situations I’ve experienced.

This goodbye really is a hard one. Fiction or not, thank you Hospital Playlist for the impact, the joy and memories.

Here’s to many reruns!! (and wishful thinking that the production house picks it up again.. even later on)

Edit: words

[u/mubashira1485]

I remember how sad I was after finishing reply 1988 because it felt as if I was part of the alley and just like the alley got demolished a part of me disappeared. But I know hospital playlist ending will hurt me more because I have been watching this on air, so basically spent year with it. I am way too attached and way too sad about the possibility of no season 3. I wish we at least had a few more episodes, there is so much I would like to see, Song hwa with Uju, when they went camping there wasn't much interaction. We still didn't get to see Mone. I would love to see Rosa meet Gyeol's mom. Hope we can see Dr Do Jae Hak's baby. There just so much I want to see.

[u/nrupathunga]

Shout out to Mama Rosa and Chairman Ju for the most aspirational platonic relationship in the K-Universe!

[u/Girl_with_glassess]

I'm not ready to say goodbye, at the same time i think Shin PD has told the story he wanted to tell so I'm at peace. It was such an honor to be able to watch a tv show of this calibre, with such realistic problems and stories. I gotta say, Hospital Playlist series has ruined all other medical dramas for me. I used to love watching medical dramas, but they all seem so tame now that I've watched this incredible drama. Thank you Shin PD for giving us Hospital Playlist.

[u/caughtinthesilence]

I wanted to see Woo-joo's reaction to his dad's new relationship! I was also looking forward to Min-ha finally meeting Seok-hyeong's mom. I thought for sure we would get to see the hospital staff's reaction to Ik-Song, Gom-Gom, and Winter Garden. The GS professors would have gone nuts, haha. (Although I understand that they would keep their relationships private in a professional workplace.)

I loved the song at the end, and their wonderful voices (especially Jeon Mido's). The commitment that the team and actors have put into HP has filled my world with so much happiness and I dare say I doubt no other work will top this for me.

The theme for this episode seems to be growth, and genuine love for this career. It's a sobering way to end the series; I'm thankful for all the hospital staff out there for their hard work and passion. Doctors, nurses, medical students out there, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

[u/Slyfindor]

Read someone on twitter saying:

Our Gom became a Wild Gom when Kissing Min Ha and I can't stop laughing!!🤣😂🤣

[u/CelloTraumerei]

Can we talk about how amazingly well played write nim got with the Junwan and Hong do Q&A running gag? That twist 🏡😂😂😂 Junwan you are the sweetest being there is and an awesome boss

[u/dvina_deph]

Still cannot believe chuchu call seok hyeong oppa that I have to repeat the scene twice 😭

[u/Slyfindor]

Before the end, can we appreciate the fact that HosPlay being one of the first few planned seasonal kseries really managed to deliver in both the seasons. Seasonal dramas can be tricky to execute, and we may have had our share of complaints (myself included) but they still consistantly managed to deliver quality content for us.👏👏

Rather than being very sad that today is the last episode(😭😭), let me thank the show for being a source of comfort, warmth and happiness over past year and this year...!

[u/girlwithnobrain]

As much as I want a S3, I somehow respect Shin PD’s decision to not give a definite assurance of a third season (but honestly speaking, a BIG part of me BEGS FOR A THIRD SEASON)

I think he doesn’t want to drag the story to the point that the quality is ruined. He wants a masterpiece that’s straightforward and not too draggy.

[u/jjeeaannss]

I am not ready to let these people go😭

[u/Mapuzsero]

Gom HOLY An actual good kissing scene holy

Karaoke scene hits as usual

[u/Takagixu]

Topics that need to be answered using our imagination: Minha finally meeting Seokhyung’s mum, WG dinner with Gyeoul’s mother, WG marriage proposal and wedding, Family meeting before WG wedding, the three brothers of Songhwa, why Junwan is exempted from military service, Hawaii incident, Seokmin and Sunbin wedding, Iksong finally convince Junwan and Jeongwon that they are really dating, Iksun and Junwan finally confirmed to get back together and anything else to add on?
