A receptionist at a village clinic, she is quiet, reserved and meticulous in a way. The doctor is stoic and, seemingly, emotionally void. Until... Yeah, he begins to sit up and take notice, shunning his glitzy, snobbish, and down right mean fiancee. As per usual, there's more to the story than what is portrayed here, but it's not bad. Not really for the modern mindset of 'I am woman, hear me roar!'.
Always outshone by her 'quality' model sister, this one accepts, too readily, her role as the 'lesser' sister. She is caring, but strong willed, running her little village tea house as best she can, while living within her meager means. The doctor she meets is arrogant and a bit conniving as he is willing to mildly play one sibling off another, but it is mild, as the model flaunts her wares, but he's definitely more interested in the tea lady.
A nurse and a doctor meet accidentally at a riot scene and everything starts from there. She's recruited to work in a foreign land while beating herself up over her misguided sense of self. She's a great caregiver to everyone except herself. Understandable, when you're treated as less than those around you. He, entangled with his self-centered cousin-in-law as he is, is a bit clumsy on the delivery, but they manage to get there... eventually.
A doctor who presents as having all the emotional ability of an ice cube (I know, they really are fuzzy and cute) meets a pre-school(?) teacher who can't seem to draw a conclusion from a hat-full, during a raging bout of administratively neglectful food poisoning and thus begins the ups and downs of 'is he, or isn't he? is she or isn't she? interested in lovelove ever after with me?
Her only 'caring' relative passes, but uncle didn't care enough to provide for her upon his death, so she is without a home or means when she meets a doctor from foreign lands who was a student of her uncle. Due to it being mutually beneficial, the doctor and her get hitched, get bombed, have a spat, then it's lovelove for the pair.
Well, this is lovelove at a distance. They interact a few times, bicker like an old married couple, she thinks 'heck' is strong language and he seems to think telepathy with an occasional verbal outburst is the only way to converse. Guess it's cute in that primitive pre-language kinda of way. It's an old school, very dominate/partially submissive male/female genre thing. 'There's always more to the original novel' is why it's listed.
It's cute. She's a very gregarious and warmhearted nurse who gave up her career to care for her family. He's a cerebral and stoic surgeon who is nice, but reserved. This causes some misunderstandings, and though she puts up with it for a while, she then barrels through for some good, old fashioned communication.
Hmm, cute in a way, sad in another, but also a little bland. I mean, they have little in the way of romantic tones, very little, and always cordial, physical interactions and their conversations are junior high level. Still, she's stunted on the lovelove front/he's awkwardly cerebral, so I get it, but, come on, at least give us some saliva swapping. The dark haired guy and all his 'friends'=steaming pile of fly ridden excrement.
She quit her hospital to take care of her family, but now that everyone's on the mend, she's asked to assist a new doctor. They are both humanitarian types who care about everyone but themselves, so as they work together, she realizes her feelings first, he takes some time to follow. It's cute.
A marriage of convenience between a doctor and a nurse-in-training; her because she never thought she had a chance at marriage and he because he needs a buffer so he can concentrate on his work. Then there's a man who feels inferior and just wants to be a irritant to drive the wedded apart. It's cute in a way, but the lack of emotional disclosure is annoying.
