Medical
Brothers a.k.a Doctor Brothers
MBC 1997
Starring:
Min Joo
~ Lee Young Ae
Kim Su Hyung ~ Jang Dong Gun
Kim Jun Ki ~ Son Chang Min
Synopsis:
2007 saw the airing of
popular medical dramas The Great White Tower and Surgeon
Bong Dal Hee, piquing audience interest in the genre,
but the medical profession is hardly a new theme for
Korean television. 2000's Medical Center and 90s
dramas Sunflower and General Hospital all
revolved around the field of medicine, not to mention
historical period dramas Hur Jun and Dae Jang
Geum. One of the most memorable and representative
medical dramas though has to be MBC's 1997 series Medical
Brothers (a.k.a. Doctor Brothers) starring two
of Korea's biggest stars, Jang Dong Gun (All About Eve,
Taegukgi) and Jang Geum herself, Lee Young Ae. Both
gave breakthrough performances in this riveting drama,
performing fairly daring love scenes by Korean television
standards. Jang Dong Gun, in particular, departed from his
usual good guy image to play a cool and complicated
character.
Both brothers and
rivals, Kim Su Hyung (Jang Dong Gun) and Kim Jun Ki (Son
Chang Min, Woman of the House) are doctors at the
same hospital. Young and promising figures in the field,
Su Hyung and Jun Ki are dedicated to their profession,
though not always as disciplined in other matters. Su
Hyung's rash and insensitive personality often brings
tears to his longtime girlfriend Min Joo (Lee Young Ae),
who is also a doctor. The brothers face crises in both
their personal and professional lives when Jun Ki's
mistake leads to his friend's wife's passing and Su Hyung
discovers a family secret concerning his identity.
