Dr. Romantic 3 Series Musings
Keeping up the momentum of its reliable run, Dr. Romantic 3 delves deeply into career motivation and aspiration.
It gives a healthy debate on choices doctors make based on their knowledge and conscience. The series profoundly explores that variables can make those decisions a mistake or a career affirmation moment.
As expected, the story did not disappoint loyal viewers like us to say the least. Impressively, the writer consistently pulled off fantastic side stories that complement the characters moving in the narrative. The director, the soundtrack, the actors and the trove of healing messages in this series created a masterpiece.
There are so many struggles for our characters this season, like the lawsuit, no government funding, tension within the staff, and more. Good thing they were able to overcome all of it, together. The actors also did a great job bringing each character to life.
So happy to see characters from Seasons 1 and 2 come together. The new characters this season also provided something new to the series.
Especially underlined this season, is the message of what it takes to be a doctor. You just don’t do your job, but you also have to be committed to your profession. It sparks hope to see this kind of doctor and medical staff exist in real life.
Season 3 ending gives us hope that a season 4 is possible. And we definitely love the idea.
