Although these ratings are respectable, they are reduced compared to pre-K-Drama expectations. One 10Asia The news editor writes that the reason for the K-Drama’s mediocre ratings was the lack of chemistry between its lead actors, Park Shin Hye and Park Hyung Sik.

The biggest problem is the lack of chemistry between the main characters. It’s been a while since Park Shin Hye appeared on the small screen after marrying Choi Tae Joon… The lack of chemistry between the actors was a fatal blow for the romantic comedy, which the genre demands. The result dampened anticipation for their 11-year reunion.

The writer did not blame the actors for all the K-Drama’s ills, stating that what was written in Doctor Depression left a lot to be desired.

Another reason for the drama’s poor results is the writing. The script does not offer anything new to the genre and there are critics who regret that the beginning of the plot was too long.
