SONG. CHANG. UI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3
I'm in.
HAN.HYE.JIN?
I'm double in.

Screw the plot. :P

The only fresh thing about this preview was Jo Jae-hyun, I can't believe he's in another medical drama. New Heart was SO good,almost a masterpiece, but the medical dramas these days (Brain,Syndrome) don't attract me as much as New Heart.

oh good lord, it's song chang eui!!!! i could watch that man read a book and call it entertainment.

hormones aside, can we get a change up in gender roles? can't the female be a cold-hearted ambitious surgeon and the male, a heart-on-his-sleeve resident?

mmm i'll pass. han hye-jin's acting bores me, despite the fact that she's sister-in-law to hottie kim kang-woo. the storyline isn't anything fresh either. can't they do a drama about another profession that hasn't been explored much in drama-world?

A week before the drama is out and still no official HP...it definitely would help to have some more info.

'No-Brain' gets my vote!

Just the title, not to watch, though. I'm sick (heh) of medical dramas - don't watch them on U.S. tv anymore and won't be watching one from Korean airwaves.

It's too bad, cause I really like the actors featured here - just can't take the content.

Hee! <3

After watching New Heart and Brain, my expectations for medical dramas are off the roof. I'll give this a try though.

They need to take a lesson from Nip/Tuck promos. They were always awesome. I never saw a dull one or one that was similar to another.

Oh you know what they should do is have a contest where people send in fake promos for a med drama and pick one that meets whatever criteria they have. That's a way to get rid of dull and overused motifs.

Other than that I don't think I will tune in for this. I'm picky as hell when it comes to med dramas. So I might just read a review and see whats up.

And anyway she's taking off her gloves in the wrong way. Just sayin'...

LOL @ "You may as well call this Brain No. 2 (no relation to HeadsNo2)."

Yep, sounds like same old, same old. I'll probably check it out but I doubt I'll stick with it, especially since I just watched Brain. A lot of people loved Brain, but I wasn't one of them. I stuck with it because I was riveted by Shin Ha Kyun's tour-de-force performance, however, I thought the writing left a lot to be desired.

No one can beat the awesomeness that was Brain or Hot Tension so this preview they are showing should be better.I definitely will watch it for Han Hye Jin but it looks horrible.Now let me go rewatch Brain iso everyday this drama is on I can compare. All I ask is that please no one make Han Hye Jin look stupid or have weak main characters.I am so tired of seeing her play in 2nd rate roles or have no one to act off so essentially it ruins a triumph comeback for her. Sigh now let me keep laughing at the funny but hilarious comments on this thread.

I already have a professional life, I don't want to come home and have to endure more professionals unless they are amazing in every way possible.

I'm waiting for the sequel: Flower Boy Surgeons. - that might be interesting....

lol... after reading all comments, i think the consensus is that there aren't a lot of potential viewers here. they could just make this into a musical medical drama with the two male leads very good at singing and/or dancing.

i'm still looking forward to it cause i love both guys and i adore Han Hye Jin (altho that's mainly cause I love Geum Soo)

Hey look, it's Brain!
Shin Ha-kyun -> Song Chang-eui
Jung Jin-young -> Jo Jae-hyun
Choi Jung-won -> Han Hye-jin
Jo Dong-hyuk -> Park Gun-hyung

It really doesn't help that Syndrome's title looks nearly identical to Brain's title. Similar fonts, English spelling underneath, one letter (the "ㅣ" in 린 & 신 for Brain and Syndrome respectively) as a picture... yeah, besides the acting from Shin Ha-kyun, Brain was mediocre at best so I hope only the promos look identical otherwise Syndrome is going to be boring and utterly stupid.

I was scrolling down the dramabeans homepage and I saw the picture, and I almost screamed, "SONG CHANGE EUI!!". But then, I didn't want my brother to think I was crazy so...

I look forward to this medical drama. Maybe "same same but different" so why not give a try. I like the cast. Han Hye Jin has improved with her acting.

I love "Brain" sooo much, so maybe I will give this a try...for the first ten minutes....
*I miss Shin Ha-kyun*

I've actually never gotten into a medical drama, it just doesn't phase me. I wish Han Hye Jin had starred in something else cos I really like her but oh wells..

Oooh... another medical drama. I loved Brain and Shin Ha Kyun.... but I will give a try to this medical drama :)

-Still, the promo pictures do look very similar especially the one with "brain" on it.... I hope that it will be a great medical drama (or end up just like any other drama; toss aside; though the chances are very high to be toss aside; no offence to others who love the cast (maybe not so much on the drama)

Maybe if they make this a vampire medical drama, more people would watch. A beautiful doctor gets bitten by a vampire on her way home from work one night. Subsequently she has to fight the temptation to bite her patients, and is forced to guzzle bags of blood from the blood bank when no one's looking. A patient dies after the blood bank runs out of blood (because of her). Should she confess and be staked? Or should she switch to an alternative blood source, specifically, rats living in the hospital pantry, instead?

I might be up for this one as long as there are no love triangles and all those couple themes as with most korean dramas,if we can get rivalry,stuff like that,something different I will be happy

I just finished watching Brain (and re-watched its ending for the second time on KBS World tonight).

It TOTALLY blew me away and I havn't had that high octane urge of addiction to a drama for a long long time. Shin Ha-Kyun is the draw - I hope you can grace our dramaland more often. That intensity just keeps you glued to the screen. Bouncing him is the amazing Jung Jin Young and you got a fantastic double wammy you could only dream of.

I am not sure if this new drama could follow the hard act in Brain.

i can't agree with you more dramabeans about the trailer...it looks almost identical to brain's promo..i mean like the same colour scheme...fonts..they even have the CG Brain sketch..plus the music is similar too....can they even do that...lol

These actors deserve better. Especially Han Hye Jin.

Looks like Kim Sung-ryung & Jo Jae-hyun play Song Chang Eui's doctor parents.

2nd teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R-4pkkvuh4

Why can't they have an ajumma doctor and a younger male intern instead of the typical? I can see him, all gooey eyed as he stares at her over his mask while she performs a complicated surgery. Then, when a patient dies, she's all stoic, but he finds her out in the staircase, weeping copious amounts of tears, and hot young intern comes in and comforts her. She's sure she can't be married; her life is too busy and men are too intimidated by her brains and career. He's bored with girls his age, and is starving for a woman with substance and a strong grip on life. Set in the backdrop of an urban ER, where there can be numerous cases, with maybe one main case running throughout. Has this ever been done? I'm fairly new to the drama world, but haven't seen anything like this. If there has, let me know; I'll definitely be there to watch.

I will definitely try it for the cast, but I freaking loved Brain and Shin Ha Kyung was such a joy to watch that it would be tough to top that. However, Brain really relied a lot on Shin Ha Kyung and his delivery so maybe this drama wouldn't be so focused on one character. It worked for Brain because Shin ha Kyung had great delivery and had a very entertaining character. Kind of like how House works. The show is all about Hugh Laurie and he absolutely has to deliver for it. In comparison to Greys Anatomy which focuses on different characters.

i love this drama not only because song chang ui is my favorite actor and han hye jin is one of my fave actress, but also the story is very well-executed. it’s my first time watching a medical drama because i mylself, doesnt have the courage to see a surgery although i know it’s all an act but i gave syndrome a shot..
anyways aside from the superb story the music is outstanding can someone please tell me the name of the song that has been played on the end of episodes 13-20, cause everytime i search for the soundtrack only u-kiss’ “remember” is coming out, i badly want to know what song is that thanks..

Just finished "Brain" this weekend and boy was it GREAT!! I literally stayed up for an entire day for the drama. Shin Ha Kyun's acting was phenomenal! He stole the show! Or more like, he was the show! There isn't a heavy emphasis on the whole love story, but that shouldn't deter anyone from watching the drama. I've been out of the whole kdrama world for so long (about 4 years) and Shin Ha Kyun's acting pulled me back in. However, I've been attempting to watch some kdramas and nothing has been able to lure me in "Brain" did.
