Serious surgeons only in Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim’s hospital
by chickachunga
New stills are out for SBS’s new Monday-Tuesday drama Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim. Our main trio of surgeons comprises of Teacher Kim, an eccentric genius played by Han Seok-kyu (Secret Door), Dr. Kang Dong-ju, a prickly and brilliant “dirt spoon” surgeon played by Yoo Yeon-seok (Warm and Cozy), and last but not least, Dr. Yoon Seo-jung, a hot-blooded and hardworking surgeon played by Seo Hyun-jin (Oh Hae-young Again).
Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim is the story of a genius, triple-board certified surgeon (Han Seok-kyu) who goes from working at Seoul’s top hospital to an obscure and tiny provincial clinic following a traumatic incident. He’ll serve as an invaluable mentor to Yoo Yeon-seok and Seo Hyun-jin, who in turn will learn the true meaning of their jobs and saving lives.
All three actors reportedly prepared extensively for their roles, visiting hospitals, watching medical videos, and consulting with specialist doctors in order to give authentic performances as top-notch surgeons. Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim aims to be a detailed and high quality medical drama, so I’m guessing it’ll depart from SBS’s last medical series Doctors, where the hospital mainly served as a backdrop for romance. Seo Hyun-jin’s disheveled hair and no-nonsense makeup certainly seem more realistic.
I’m not that big on medical dramas to begin with, but I can’t deny the strong appeal of the main cast. All three actors’ roles will be major departures from their previous performances, and who doesn’t love witnessing impressive range from actors who actually have it?
Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim will premiere on November 7 after Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo ends.

I don't care as long as the story is good and we can enjoy his performance...I need to erase the sore taste that his last drama left, he's too good for that.
I also like Seo Hyun Jin a lot, good luck to both! :D

I am so looking forward to this drama. Love the cast. I read somewhere that this is Han Seok-kyu's first non-sageuk drama in some 20 years.

why do you need a bunch of stationeries on your white coat and as a surgeon, u dont usually need those things only medical students do, lmao.as usual, korean medical themes are sucks and out of the worlds.

Hmmm? I'm confused. You think this drama "sucks" because doctors don't need pens only medical students do? Or because of the white coats?
Just FYI, it varies from country to country who wears white coats- in some countries the medical students wear white coats, in some countries only the doctors wear white coats.
And doctors do need pens, and even small penlights, which they do shove into pockets.
Surgeons do wear scrubs a lot, but it doesn't mean they are always in them and nothing else. So to judge this show based on that alone is not fair or right.

This sounds like a Korean remake of a Japanese series, but don't recall the name. Was about a similar setup on a remote island.

Oh hello there, mK-steamy and mK-dreamy. <3
If I was THIS disheveled when I was still a resident, that would have been fantastic..
I don't really ask for medical dramas to be super duper specific in the science, because it's a TV show, not a docu... just ...not ridiculous.

Argh. I have yet to actually like a Korean medical drama although darnit if I don't keep watching the things. Actually, my favorite thus far was the tragically cut short Beautiful Mind. That said, how can I possibly not watch a drama with this cast? It could be a cancer/amnesia/fauxcest/cry fest and I would watch it with this cast.
Please let this finally be the medical drama that breaks the curse!

Not particularly a fan of medical drama, but wow the cast. Finally, Yoo Yeon Seok, oh how I've missed you. I need to something to erase the memories of Warm and Cozy in my head.

...That's great and all, but moot unless the writer visited hospitals, watched medical videos, and consulted with specialists too, just sayin'.

This is possibly the best Korean series I have seen (U.K). Not only is the medical jargon good but I love all the quirky characters. The two love birds are just gorgeous together and the glue that is Teacher Kim is perfect. The only problem I'm having is the all crying and melodramatic behaviour of the relatives, seems a little over the top! Love the love song that is played in the scenes with Dong-ju & Seo-jung. Bring on series 2
