I'm in! Thanks JB :)

The stills are actually looking good. I might watch it.

LHW OMG so adorableeeeeee

Medical Drama is soooo not my style, but I really am a fan of Japanese Drama 'Code Blue'. and I can see it potray a good premise as Code Blue does to me.
Imma try this!!!!!!

How great would it be if they donated all the supplies to poor hospitals when the drama ends?

Oh, boy - WAY too much of the serious here for the holiday season. I'll wait until gloomy February hits - this should fit right in....
:)

those loupes look darn good. lol. too bad there aren't any lookers like them in my dept. at least there would be something to look at during op.

I was hoping shin ha kyun would drop this drama, but since he didn't I'll seriously consider watching it because I'm a huge fan of him and his movies!

Will they get in trouble for not covering up that J W Marriott sign with black tape? Product placement!

are you going to recap this drama?

Just saw the first two eps. I'm underwhelmed. There were captivating moments - Jung Jin Young in general and those with Shin Ha Kyun, but I wish there were more scenes of just the two of them, maybe with Jo Dong Hyuk.

But definitely not Choi whatshername. She's cried already. Her character is waaay overly emotional, especially for a doctor. Presumably she's the candy who'll reform Shin ha Kyun's character and over whom he and Jo Dong Hyuk's characer will fight. Blah.

Shin Ha Kyun's character reminds me of Maru from CYHMH.

$3.5 million? wow, the amount of money spent into making this drama really blows my mind.

The actress (Choi Jung-Woo?) reminds me of Lee Young Ae in Medical Brothers (also a drama about surgery about 15 years ago I think).

The stills look good. I'm in.
Any clues about subbers for this drama?

Oh.. I think I know which hospital they are filming from. The rooftop overlooks JW Marriott Hotel, and there's only one in Seoul. And I'm pretty sure I saw a hospital almost across/near that hotel which is St. Mary something hospital... I think I have a it somewhere on my 3400 photo count of my summer trip.

That kid from GoS is cute, and if he manages to pick the right project, he will join the list of our ICOMYM. With Yoo Seung Ho still being the flagship hottie.

i wonder why did they make the poster japanese-style. i could swear this is a japanese poster :-j

Jo Dong Hyuk! Why are you the second lead again?

Choi Jung Won looks like Lee Chung Ah (Flower Boy Ramyun Shop)

I saw the preview after Poseidon and I was like wow.. That is some SERIOUS Medical drama.. reminds me of Iryu and Code Blue but Code Blue focused more on the young interns becoming flight doctors, whereas this drama is like a Korean version of Iryu, basically rivalry between the doctors, some tough surgeries and some major angst, drama, emotion.. etc. you all get the point.

I may try this if I have time, and it looks super interesting, but being that i'm not a korean speaker, trying to put the story and the medical lingo together is going to make it twice as hard to watch, I am a japanese speaker and watching Iryu was difficult itself since I'm no Med student/doctor so I have to listen carefully to get the full jist of everything.

But anyways, Thanks for posting!

I can't believe my beloved Chadol is 18 already.

I watched it - and I did NOT have high expectations of it - even though I have a high regard for all the actors. I think it was just the whole recasting and recasting jumble.

But MY GOODNESS. The acting is definitely superb and it shows. I don't know if it'll show in the ratings, but there's something about Shin Ha Kyun's acting that makes it enthralling.

As for the drama - I'm done with episode one, and it's got me invested enough to try episode two. There's a tense yet charismatic vibe with just the right amount of realistic good charmed people that makes this drama appealing.

I'm in. My recommendation to others? If you ever enjoyed the Japanese drama Iryu, I think this is a definite must-try. If you liked New Heart, I definitely say this is a must must try. I have a big thing for medical dramas and some (like GH2) disappointed, but I think this just might be a catch.

Oh, and Choi Jung Won's eyes? Aren't they a drama themselves or what? lol

hey! that little boy from god of study

I'm pre-med. So this is right up my ally. Perhaps I'll change from dermy to neuro??? Haha.

The posters do look good, but yeah, no no for me. I have enough emough medical dramas in the US to last me a lifetime. I have a feeling maybe they are going for that E.R feel.

GAAAHHHHHH LEE HYUN WOO!!!!! <33333 AWWWW!!!!!!!!

this is the best medical drama that i have ever watched in my entire life. may this drama be the best kbs drama for the year 2011. shin ha kyun, you are a great actor. keep up the good work.

NOW IT ALREADY EPS 10 IT WAS AWESOME...MAKE ME CRY THOSE EPISODE...HAD TO WAIT FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY...REALLY HOPE GANG HUN IN LOVE WITH YUN JE.
MUST BE SO HARD GANG HUN TO EXPRESS THOSE SAD FEELING TOWARD HIS MOTHER

I did ep 1-7 marathon today since I don't have a life. Wasn't expecting much, but it was awesome! I've never heard of Shin Ha Kyun before but now I'm fan for life, that kiss scene is probably my fav EVER.

SERIOUSLY ONE OF THE BEST DRAMAS SO FAR...HONESTLY U SHOULD REVIEW THIS SHOW.......REALLY BEST

I love watching this drama series "BRAIN".All the casts are good actors especially Shin Ha-yun,who acts perfectly as a neurosurgeon.You deserved a best actor trophy!!I wish after this, you may have many,many more drama series to come.Bye for now.
