Preview out for SBS’s Medical Top Team
by javabeans
The teaser is out for MBC’s new medical series Medical Top Team, starring Kwon Sang-woo, Jung Ryeo-won, and Joo Ji-hoon as elite doctors assembled to a special team to treat difficult cases. Think House, then, rather than the softer human drama of Good Doctor, which is doing quite well over in the Monday-Tuesday KBS slot these days.
That’s probably a good thing for this show to differentiate itself from the other one, although I do think that what makes Good Doctor a popular drama has little to do with its medical stories. I like the swift pace we get in this clip, with sharp professionals warning each other to pull their shit together to save the patient. (The coddling of Good Doctor warms the heart, but I have to admit I wouldn’t want anybody at that hospital treating me. Maybe Joo Sang-wook on a good day.) They’re all specialists in different fields, too, which means we’ve got a lot of alphas on this team. Heh. Should make for an interesting dynamic.
We’re only given vague character descriptions of the doctors in this cast (the nice one, the cold one, the perfectionist one), so I expect Medical Top Team will focus more on medical cases than, say, personal growth or relationship issues. I just hope that means no hospital board politics, please.
The drama premieres on October 2; it’s the Wednesday-Thursday drama replacing Two Weeks.

She's Jung Ryeowon. She's really talented, isn't she?
What is with that picture of the surgeons spattered with blood though? It's like they're the ones involved in the accident. Maybe that's what happened or maybe they hit the wrong blood stream and blood just spews out? idk

K, very intense looking. So I'm guessing a case every day for every doc and in some cases a patient needing more than one specialist so that we see some interaction. So a House/Grey's thing going on. Ya know I wonder when there will be a Scrubs like drama. If there is already one someone please tell me the name and where I can watch it cause that sounds like fun.

So far sounds good. Much more my taste than Good Doctor. I m liking the idea of mixing action- special/skilled team- romance. I like also the fact that it seems that the leading actress will be a equal to the guys... So far, i m in.
PS: and of course, as a plus... I find the leading guy so appealing hahaha

Yeah, I've been waiting for the Medical Top Team ever since two competing medical dramas were announced.
I thought I was the only one who could not warm up to Good Doctor ... Thank God I found you!
Nor could I stomach either Master's Sun or Empire of Gold.
I cannot decide if it is the script or the actors' delivery (or both) that leave me completely unmoved by these three dramas that are currently airing.

really different with me, I'm really love good doctor, i like deep touching n inspiring drama n that drama is interesting since first episode.
I like Empire of Gold too, the story is unpredictable n non typical drama. It takes me few episode to really like it.
For master sun i enjoy it but not really love it like the other 2, it was funny n sometimes touching too
Eventhough i really love good doctor I thought i will give this drama chance since the cast is good n i thought the basic story is different aside from medical side

I actually prefer for these medical shows to strike a good balance. I wouldn't consider good doctor to be the most fast paced medical show out there and judging from the trailer and synopsis of medical top team i wouldn't expect too much focus on doctor-patient relationships or heart-warming relationships.
Sometimes i wish Good Doctor didn't "coddle" (as JB said) so much, but then i know watching medical top team i wouldn't have as much feels. More of just excitement that sort of leaves my mind until the next week it airs.
Either way, there has yet to be a medical show i've seen that truly gave me a good dose of all things i like in a show: comedy, romance, human, drama, and thrilling. (If anyone out there has a clue, let me know!)

Despite not being a rabid fan of anybody in this cast (although I'm warming up to Jung Ryeo-won more and more), I'm looking forward to MTT a lot. Maybe it's because Good Doctor really rubs me the wrong way (I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way....), but I'm looking for a medical drama with grit, and this could fit the bill.
And on a purely shallow note, Kwon Sang-woo hasn't looked this good in years.

Oooh flashy and spurty and rushing, oh my!
Things happen quickly at this hospital.
People talk and move fast. I like it. That means there will be lots of small quieter moments, too, when we get to see the characters fall apart, or help and comfort each other. Those were my fav scenes in Brain. You know like the "Tie" scene with SHK and Choi Jung Won. LOVED IT!
It's amazing they really convince us that they know what they are talking about and can actually cure folks.
I love watching the out-takes when the actors keep falling over the medical jargon and shatter than illusion.

Maybe Our Hosts can do a special discussion on "Worst Hospital in Korea." This looks like the only one I'd go near even with a sucking chest wound. The doctors seem to be focused on treating sick people instead of politics.

The sypnosis:-
"A drama about an elite medical team, a doctor team that draws only the best doctors from each area, fights to make miracles possible and trying to fare its way amidst a power struggle shaking up the hospital.
However, the doctors start getting into conflicts with one another when LOVE enters the hospital mix.
This drama will center around Paran Hospital's unpaid doctor Park Tae San, a skillful medical surgeon who has a warm heart but straightforward to a fault. "
He is doing good deeds and working at a free medical office for those in need and is a cancer specialist of the team
No matter what kdramas will still include romance in their scripts. Not like JDORAMA, (JAP).

I was rooting for this drama too since I love medical drama but after I know what Kwon Sang Woo commented on good doctor,I can't help but disappointed with him.Even wary to watch this drama.
Good doctor has it flaws,not prefect,they are not competing with this drama at all at the same timeslot but KSW has the guts to say this.

A drama is not drama if it is not over 30% ratings."

Hmm... Before watching this, I think viewers who are used to western medical dramas like ER, House & Grey's should lower their expectations. For some reason, there was something lacking in the teaser (no, not the subs, lol).
It would be nice to see Sandra Oh do a cameo in a drama like this, too bad she's still busy with her final season on Grey's.

I actually like ER better than Grey's Anatomy which is less medicine and more soapie.
Korean medical dramas are okay. at least the romance and sex takes a back seat. I am here for the drama not for all the behind the scene emotional needs. That's why House is great.
I don't know why they like making the doctors all flap and freak out in Korean medical dramas. No one carries on like a pork chop in real life. But the writers seems to to think more screaming and more panic means a better scene.

I am currently writing my own script: "Medical Topless Team". It' s about an elite team of doctors that fights to introduce a revolutionary but controversial technique - going topless - to shock patients into instant recovery.
However, the doctors start getting distracted by their topless states leading to conflicts with one another...
This drama will center around Primal Hospital's unpaid doctor Park Im Hot, a skillful medical surgeon who has a warm heart but has reservations about going topless, unlike his younger rival, who has no qualms about going topless at
all. "
