Cuteness behind the scenes of Medical Top Team
by girlfriday
If the cast looks this adorable behind the scenes, why does the poster have to look so serious? I guess we’ll just have to live with the fact that this’ll be one of those dramas where the happy happens offscreen. MBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama Medical Top Team is gearing up for its broadcast next week with poster shoots and group bonding. The production has pushed its air date back a week to coincide with the premiere of Heirs, likely because launching against Master’s Sun’s finale week seems like getting off on the wrong foot, ratings-wise.
The new medical drama from the PD of The Moon That Embraces the Sun and the writer of Brain promises fast-paced, hard-hitting medical stories, because well what’s the point of assembling the best of the best on one handy team of geniuses if you don’t challenge their big brains? Of course they’ll be given the toughest cases that no one else could solve (because those are so easy to find at the One Hospital in All of Seoul), and though there will be fireworks of the antagonistic kind between Kwon Sang-woo and Joo Ji-hoon, teamwork will be the name of the game.
Kwon Sang-woo and Joo Ji-hoon are pretty much playing Good Doc/Bad Doc, with Jung Ryeo-won in between them (please give her more to do than a love triangle, please, please), while Oh Yeon-seo and Min-ho round out the younguns on the team. I can’t say I’m on pins and needles for this one, but I do expect it to be slick. Who knows, maybe it’ll surprise me.
Medical Top Team premieres October 9 on MBC.

so it's this and good doctor at the same time? Well even my Shinee love probably isn't enough to watch this... It's just that i don't like the vibe. There was enough hatred in Good Doctor (at least at first)

GUUUH can we just give Joo Ji-hoon's cheekbones a grand welcome back to primetime tv?
I like Jung Ryeo-won as an actress but her chemistry with her leading men is sometimes patchy so I don't really always get behind her OTPs (loved her with Jung Kyung-ho in Ja Myung-go, not so much with Anthony in KOD last year even though the latter was by far the superior drama)

20 episodes. 20 glorious episodes containing hunky doctors. 20 amazing episodes full of hot surgeons. 20 fantastic episodes chock-a-block with damn fine male specimens.
I don't think 20 glorious amazing fantastic episodes will be enough for my blood. You with me on this, people?

I'd better hurry up and come down with some sort of malady that MUST be treated by Joo Ji-hoon STAT. Too bad the daily rate at his hospital is more than my monthly rent, or I'd just move in for good! *swoon*
And after a kinda boring-ish KDrama Summer, we're getting bombarded with better choices right and left! W00t!! BRING IT!

Yes!! Ji Hoon Oppa have a new drama! Life is sweet. I was just wondering what was his next project when I googled him last night... Yes, turning into Saesang fan just for Ji Hoon Oppa. God, I miss watching him on the small screen, he have such charisma. I am hoping there will be more drama of his to come.

please, if you love him, don't become a sasaeng fan (even if this was a joke). Those people are scary and their biases are terrified of their stalker ways.

Dont worry, googling an actor/actress doesn't mean you're saesang. Otherwise we'd all be saesang. Stalking them at their homes and doing things that overstep their boundaries, now that's definitely it.

@Pogo Just kidding. I was just stalking his movie and dramas. I couldn't care less about his personal life. Yeah, people are scary, and I can't joke about anything any more since everything turned serious. Sure does take the fun out of life. Still, I am serious about him being charistmatic and he does need more screen time. It's such a waste if he doesn't.

Kdrama really love the medical genre huh? It's like the "detective" genre of jdramas. There is ALWAYS a few every season.

Yup, most countries seem to be the same - always at least a few MD and cop dramas going, other genres not so much.
But what bothers me about these "doctors" - is that they seem younger for the most part than the "high school students" in Heirs :(

Really. Doogie Howser notwithstanding, it takes a decade of adult experience, education, and training to become a true "doctor" in most developed countries. If these people are really tops in their field, none of them should be under thirty, and most should be close to forty.

In Dramaland, there are times when you just have to suspend disbelief. This is certainly one of those times. (Few people within the K-drama demographic are willing to sacrifice hot actors for realism.)
But you probably already knew that.

The official poster looks kind of sloppy for me. I love the behind the scene's photo more. It looks more natural!
Wow, so many lovely pictures, I expect so many cuteness from Minho-Yeonseo LMAO.
I hope MTT will not do the medical drama cliches. Please don't!

So this is going to premier against Heirs. I think this drama will win in terms of domestic ratings because it is medical drama which have great conflicts and viewers are always on edge due to life-death situations.

Heirs will win because it is being hyped a lot more. But I am not so sure that either of them will be all that good. After having been burned by the likes of YTBLSS, ISYG, and Sword/Flower I have lowered my expectations a lot.

Fortunately for me, DramaFever will be airing both dramas. They might be up against each other on the same night in Korea, but I'll not have to choose which to watch. Yay, for having the ability to see both!

I'm a big SHINee fan, and think Minho is as cute as a fluffy puppy, but I'm not expecting acting genius out of him. If he's merely not gawd aweful, I'll be satisfied. He's getting acting experience with a character that isn't one of the leads. Fortunately for this drama, its leading roles are being fulfilled by a number of pretty people who've actually garnered some acting cred. I fully intend to enjoy Minho's on-screen time as an ahjumma whose own son is only a month older than him, suppressing all the while the strong desire to pinch his cheeks and sit him down in front of a plate of lasagna.

Do doctors have time to do their hair tidily like that? Imagine that they have to answer for an emergency and have to apply something on their hair first or check their appearance on the mirror before do an action to save patients. Sigh! I love pretty face but reality also needed.

JOOJIHOON! ♡♡ I hope this one stands out!
#offtopic: OYS used to have this face that brought me to think that she has gotten many injections in that popular family drama (too lazy to google the title) that I couldn't even bear to watch her. But now she has gotten more normal, and prettier.
