I don’t think this is the last we’ll see of the titular Romantic Teacher and he’s definitely earned his dues. The SBS medical drama Romantic Teacher, Doctor Kim 2 ended it’s run this Tuesday with a final episode high ratings of 27.1%. The average ratings for the entire run was 18.4% which is high nowadays for prime time dramas and close to the first season which averaged 20.4%. Nothing to sneeze about the all the kudos goes to male lead Han Suk Kyu, viewers continue to praise his acting and character while this go-around the reviews were mixed for the younger doctors Lee Sung Kyung and Ahn Hyo Seob but they obviously share in the success of this second go-around. It really does feel like the tide has turned in the last two years with a gradual rise back up of buzzy dramas and also higher ratings when the right drama chemistry sparks. Congrats to RD2 and proving that if you build it (right), they will come.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…

Han Suk Kyu impact. Season 1 was still better the Season 2 though in both story and acting.
Agree to disagree. Main leads and story-wise, season 2 rocked.
Oooh hiw iwish to see aglimpsenoh dr yoon so Jung and dr Kang doo Joo. ?
HSK rocks, he is the best. I like Head Nurse, Nurse Park, Areum, ER doc, Bone doc. The worst are LSK and AHS, hope they will not return in Season 3.
Omg - i share your sentiments. LSK I still find bearable. AHS was weakest link for me. His acting is sub par and that unkempt hair made it worse. Bad chemistry with almost everyone. Breakout characters for me is Shin Dong Wook and Joo So Yeon was decent too. I like anastetician Prof Shin and Park Min Kyu - both delivered good performances too. Looking forward to season 3. Best thing is Han Seok Kyu can carry the whole series on his own so I really dun care whos in and whos out next season. Best if AHS and LSK out. Even though I am ok with her performance but she comes with AHS arch so rather lose both
Agree. Chief Park has an unlikable character due to his weak confidence or insecurities, but the actor's performance is excellent. His sidekick although very annoying also acts quite well. AHS's role is well written but he cannot emote, boring as hell, I highly doubt if his career will flourish, he simply cannot act.
I personally didn't think the acting of LSK & AHS was that bad, it was average but i think the problem is with the characters they were playing.
Me too.
I think AHS and LSK are decent in their roles and their chemistry was fine, their slow burn romance was frustrating at times yet crack stuff.
AHS and HSK had good chemistry.
Joo So Yeon was mediocre.
S1 was stronger in the medical aspect but S2 had more character development in the young leads and they had better teacher-student relationship with KSB.
Honestly, the second season was less well written than the first. I didn't like the FL and LSK's acting didn't help. The money problems of the ML took too much place in the story. I would have prefer more stories about the staff and their patients.
Nurse Park and Areum were the cutest! I don't know why they added unnecessary complications at end.
But I won't say no to a third season for Master Kim!
I hope the drama will also get Pan Asia popularity like CLOY because the leads also deserve to be recognized not only in Korea but also outside.
Season 3 is a must since s2 ended up with high rating. 27% for a non weekend drama is HIGH nowadays.
I have no prob with the young doctors' acting. LSK wasnt the best, but she was good enough. AHS was good too. But of course, comparing them to the s1 young doctors is a no no.
I hope they bring back dr. Do (yang sejong) for season 3. In s2, he said he's working in doldam.
Im gonna miss this drama. But well, it's only feb. 10 months to go, let's see, what drama god will give us.
Thank you for this wonderful journey doctor kim and his crew. Let's meet again on s3. Fighting.
HSK!!!!!! I am going to miss this drama!! HSK's screentime with any character enables them to level up. The direction and editing were great too!!! Warm and fuzzy feeling all over. Thank you for this great drama!! I even liked LSK and AHS's acting, I felt they were sincerely lost and then were found. Lived the entire cast too.
Hoping for Season 3. Bringing back YSJ is good, he can act. Definitely not AHS. Give more screentime to Areum as she is a certified ER doc now. Most crew can stay except for AHS. There are a lot more young actors who can act.
U just simply hate ahs . He did well, even won baeksang after his outstanding performance in rdtk2 . Admit it
I don't think he deserves that Baeksang. My opinion. Why do I need to admit, for what? Just agree to disagree.
Congratulations to the cast and crew and I’m a fan of LSK and AHS so kudos to them too. Happy that they were able to share in the ratings success and from the snippets I’ve enjoyed their interactions so far and now it’s on my binge list to watch for them. ❤️
Season 3 with that ODD Ball project that they're doing and bring back the 3 leads in season 1 , Mr. Bone Doctor, Ahn Yoseop and Lee Sung kyung as Kim Sabu already asked Seo Woo Jin to become a part of the project. If this happen the ratings will be amazing. Of Course Kim Sabu is still there with the rest of the nurse and others
I enjoyed s1 and s2 a lot. My take from both seasons is the way we should treat people to bring out the best in them, which is much needed in this judgemental and prejudice world. The only complain I have is YSJ bad hair (haha). Good to see him though, espesially since season 1 marked his acting debut.
