Dr Romantic


 An outcast doctor leads a team of outstanding doctors in a remote hospital. An evil director is trying to shut down the hospital. A young, troubled doctor joins the team, and after some misadventures accepts his place and is accepted. There are two series for this K-drama, which is unusual in the genre. Each series has the same basic plot. There are a lot of dramatic surgeries, and often the injuries are depicted graphically.  The first series is good, but the second is a little bit weaker. This is because the villain is the same in both, even though his ending didn’t give me much chance of redemption in the first series. In the second series, there are two new surgeons, who are generally more attractive than the first. It feels a little bit unfair, considering all of the other characters reappear. The second series is also a bit more cartoonish, with over acting and some ridiculous accidents. The male lead character, played by Han Suk-kyu is a great one. The acting is strong, and the character acts out of compassion for everyone, even people who are ostensibly his enemies. I didn’t cry much, but I did think about life.  ⅘.
