‘Hospital Playlist 2’ takes a one week hiatus
The K-drama’s representative announced it would not air a new episode during the first week of September. This is not the first time the drama has made changes to its episode schedule. The reasoning for episode 11’s debut change is because of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Due to television news coverage of the Asia preliminaries, the drama will delay its new episode until September 9. Fans online were dismayed to hear the news but hoped it gave the drama’s writers time to work on a possible new season. According to Soompi, the k-drama still dominates weekly rating in its time slot and on Netflix. While fans hoped episode 10 would not end on a cliffhanger, it did not work out that way.

Gyeo-Wool finally opens up about her personal life with Jeong-Won regarding her difficult home life.

But fans are theorizing Seok-Hyeong asking Min-Ha to dinner could have an ulterior motive.
One Reddit user exclaims, “I have a bad feeling about GomGom’s date. Seems like it’s gonna be a “first and last date” kinda situation before Professor Yang leaves for the US.” Fans were also left on edge with the possibility of a main character being hurt, “That ending. Just why. Of course, it could be a red herring, but we’re nearing the end of the season, and this could be some Mind Changing Angst.” Fans theorize that the show might be misleading them as signs lead to Ik-Joon or another supporting character.
