Dr. Slump

Yeo Jeong-woo and Nam Ha-neul were fierce high school rivals who competed for the top rank in South Korea. Years later, both have achieved their dreams of becoming successful medical professionals, but have hit the lowest points of their lives due to sudden, catastrophic career crises. Jeong-woo faces a devastating medical malpractice lawsuit that ruins his reputation, while Ha-neul suffers from severe burnout and depression after years of relentless workplace abuse and exploitation by her senior professor. When their paths cross again in a dilapidated rooftop apartment, they are both unemployed, deeply stressed, and experiencing severe life slumps. Initially reluctant to face each other given their competitive past, they slowly bond over their shared misery and vulnerabilities. As they navigate their personal healing journeys, professional redemption, and the shadows of their respective traumas, their relationship blossoms from reluctant camaraderie into a deep, comforting romance.
