Inside
the White Tower
MBC 2007
Starring:
Jang Joon Hyuk ~ Kim
Myung Min
CHoi Do Young ~ Lee Seon Gyun
No Min Guk ~ Cha In Pyo
Synopsis:
Based on renowned
Japanese novelist Yamazaki Toyoko's representative work,
MBC's new drama Inside the White Tower, a.k.a. The
Great White Tower, brings viewers deep into the
political inner workings of the medical field. The drama
takes a satirical look at malpractice and powerplay at a
university hospital, contrasting the paths and
personalities of two doctors played by Kim Myung Min (The
Immortal Lee Soon Shin) and Lee Seon Gyun (Loveholic).
Inside the White Tower was a critical and ratings
hit in South Korea, with Ahn Pan Seok winning Best
Producer and Kim Myung Min beating out some very strong
competition for the Best Leading Actor statuette at the
43rd Baeksang Awards. The drama stands out amongst the
current wave of lightweight offerings with its
intelligent, well-written, and uncompromising story,
situating the little known wheeling and dealing of
medicine in a tight and interesting tangle of deception,
friendship, and romance. What really goes on Inside the
White Tower? You may not want to know.
Brilliant and
ambitious, assistant professor Jang Joon Hyuk (Kim Myung
Min) is a rising star in the Myeongin University Hospital
surgery department. His knowledge and expertise is
undeniable, but his cavalier confidence and cold
personality has earned him more than a few enemies
including the department head. While Jang's drive stems
from a desire for success and advancement, fellow doctor
Choi Do Young (Lee Seon Gyun) is committed to the
well-being of his patients, leading to frequent clashes
with the practices and personnel within the hospital. With
the head of the surgery department retiring, Jang seems to
be the clear successor until a new rival emerges in the
form of Noh Min Guk (Cha In Pyo), who has the backing of
the department head. Jang, however, is determined to win
at all costs.
This edition comes
with English-subtitled cast and crew interviews and
behind-the-scenes footage.
Review:
I've not seen it,
