Line #13 YMMV/RoyalPains


1	* {{Adorkable}}: Dr. Jeremiah Sacani. How adorkable? He's got a note card to help him remember what to do to [[spoiler: try and flirt with Divya.]]
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0c4NppdHeU The season 2 promo rap.]]
3	* BaseBreakingCharacter: Evan. Some fans find him completely annoying, others think that he's the best part of the show.
4	** Though as of late, he's become a much better character since he started dating Paige, to the point where when Hank was a jerk to him, Evan gave him a speech that was pretty close to a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Those who couldn't stand Evan before probably like him now. RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap indeed.
5	* DieForOurShip: The Foe Yay between Hank and Dr. Peck has ignited this.
6	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Paige went from hiring Evan to be her fake boyfriend mid-second season to being his real wife, part of the team, and PromotedToOpeningTitles.
7	* FridgeBrilliance: When Hank is treating the young woman at Boris's party in the pilot and inquires if Boris's bodyguards have Mark 1 kits, Boris responds "Enough to save everyone in this house". It's hard to imagine why Boris would ever need that many as he's never seen throwing such huge parties again, but it makes sense later learning of the feuding in Boris's family and that Mark 1 kits are used to treat certain nerve gas agents.
8	** When Hank is staying at Boris's apartment in season 1, a Budai statue can be spotted on the balcony. Season 7 Boris questions whether Hank thought a series of events that lead to [[spoiler: Hank needing to become a doctor for a secret operation on a Tibetan Lama]] was purely coincidental. Hank believes so, and asks if Boris didn't also think so. Amused by Boris's answer of how he wouldn't want to presume such things, Hank inquires if Boris was a Buddhist, whose response was "Lapsed Buddhist, perhaps".
9	* GeniusBonus: In the season 2 premiere, [=HankMed=] has to save an infomercial star who got stuck in a vent. The ladder they set up just before the cut to commercial appears to be the "Little Giant", which is sold in infomercials.
10	** In the episode where Jill begs Divya to come with her to a reunion with some old friends, it may be confusing why Jill says "the first rounds on me" even though Divya says she's on-call and can't drink until one remembers doctors make rounds in hospitals.
11	* HarsherInHindsight: Seeing Matt Lauer in "Ta Da For" and hearing he spends his free time browsing ''M'lady's Vestibules'' and the other DoubleEntendre from him can be slightly cringe-inducing after the 2017 sexual misconduct controversy.
12	* HoYay: Boris and Hank, Evan and Boris (though more on Evan's part), Divya and Jill, [[IncestSubtext Hank and Evan]]
13	** [[SiblingTeam They're brothers; brothers do stuff like that.]]
14	* NightmareFuel:
15	** In 1x07, "Crazy Love", [[spoiler:the patient of the week gets put in an MRI. Something tries to get out of her ''chest''. Turns out to be an RFID chip, which is ''even more disturbing''.]]
16	** In the season one finale, Evan finds mold in an attic. Moving, black mold. It's made marginally less disturbing when it turns out to be bats.
17	** That one time where Hank drilled a hole in an old guy's head.
18	** "You Give Love a Bad Name" begins with [[spoiler: Hank opening the chest of a guy who has just been shot and instructing someone else to hold the ribs apart]].
19	** In 5x03, "Lawson Translation", suspecting someone of murder, being drugged by a stranger in public, and then suddenly kidnapped in plain sight with said person responsible.
20	* RetroactiveRecognition:
21	** Creator/BonnieSomerville (Mona from ''Series/{{Friends}}'') played a patient-of-the-week in the Season 2 episode, "Medusa," where she had a one-off fling with Evan.
22	** Creator/PeterJacobson (Dr. Chris Taub from ''Series/{{House}}'') also popped up as a patient for two episodes in Season 2.
23	** Creator/TimotheeChalamet has gone on to much bigger things since his work on this show.
24	** Creator/EzraMiller (who played Tucker Bryant in the earlier seasons) is a much more recognizable name nowadays.
25	* TheScrappy:
26	** It didn't take long for Dr. Peck to be hated by the fandom.
27	** Molly, the bratty teenage daughter of Hank's new favored patient in season five, was also pretty unpopular with fans. It didn't help that she seemingly dedicated her life to making Hank's job harder.
28	* TearJerker:
29	** Evan watching helplessly as Hank tries to revive their father during his heart attack. Capped off when they finally get him to the emergency room and the surgeon - after asking what happened and if Hank is the primary physician to which Hank responds he's the son - can only reply with a shocked and sympathetic: "Jesus..."
30	** The revelation that Milos, Boris' seemingly diabolical cousin is in fact [[spoiler:severely mentally ill, to the point where he believes that Boris is hoarding a cure for his illness. It's especially sad watching Boris try to reason with him]].
31	* TrappedByMountainLions: As Evan and Paige are not doctors but are regular cast members, the show frequently sends them off on B-plots that have nothing to do with the plot of the week or the larger seasonal arc, like Paige's search for her birth mother, or Evan's campaign to join the town council, or their efforts to become parents.
32	* ValuesDissonance: Divya has to hide her work from her parents. She creates an elaborate cover story and enlists Evan to support it. The American viewer is probably thinking "You ''are'' over 21, right?"
33	* WTHCostumingDepartment: Season 7 opens with Paige and Evan having a bit of a PregnancyScare, as while they're married they're hardly ready to be parents. Towards the end of the episode, she shows up to tell him she's not pregnant after all; she got her period and was just late (even though she claims she's never late). The thing is, she's wearing '''white pants'''. Absolutely ''no'' woman on the first day of her period would be wearing white pants: if she was wearing them before she suddenly started, she'd change because they're now bloody; if she wasn't, there's no way she'd look in her closet for a new pair and go, "Hmm, I think I'll choose the one article of clothing most likely to advertise if my sanitary napkin springs a leak!"
