"Medical Team" boasts of tense, exciting and unexpected medical stories that capture the attention of viewers.
First of all, the story centers around the top medical team, which is different from individual play competition. In 'Medical Team,' surgeon Kwon Sang-woo, chest surgeon Jung Ri-won, and internal medicine specialist Joo Ji-hoon, all of whom are top-notch professionals in their respective hospital fields, come together to form the 'Top Team,' and each of them encounters difficult surgeries that are unpredictable and have a success rate of less than 50 percent in the country. This is a marked difference from several previous medical dramas, which in the history of Korean dramas usually chose to unfold the two or three doctors with the most competitive strength within the same department, 'Medical Team' emphasizes on the 'team', and viewers will be able to see multiple vignettes in a richer and fresher way through the drama.
Secondly, it boldly dissects the class-oriented medical equipment and gets close to the reality of the inner workings. In addition to adopting a number of true medical stories, the most special point of the drama is that it boldly reflects the cruel reality that medical treatment is also classified, and the medical equipment that can only be used by VIPs or powerful families will be depicted in the drama, which denounces the viewpoint that all people should be equal in the front of saving lives and helping people in danger. Kwon Sang-woo, who plays the role of a doctor with a big personality in the drama, is even willing not to pay for the treatment, all for the sake of the patient first, and the bridge can impress the viewers.
Then again, the drama pops up sparks of desire, love, sensual stories. Of course, in addition to the outline made of several small medical stories throughout, "Medical Team" also retains the traditional storyline of the struggle for power, strength, love, and desire in the hospital, in which several protagonists are strong and obvious personalities, and all kinds of sparks pop up in their daily life-saving process, which is also one of the major attractions of the drama. And there will be no shortage of medical stories that can move people, making sure to become a medical drama that is rich in audience's heart and content. (Sina Entertainment)
Stars Kwon Sang-woo and Joo Ji-hoon are making their debut in the medical drama "Medical Team," and fans will get to see a new side of them. (Reviewed by Hong Kong Wenhui Newspaper) Medical Team has been accused that the process of the birth of the medical consultation is not in line with reality. The drama follows the birth of a team of co-diagnostics that gathers the best doctors in each field, but many people find the plot setting counterintuitive and contrary to reality. (Wujin News Network commentary)
The concept of 'co-diagnosis' is a good one in itself, but it's hard to popularize within the framework of capitalism. It might be more convincing to set the plot in a story pattern in a rural village, where doctors in the countryside have nothing to do with money, but only work together to help patients who are struggling to make ends meet because of the spirit of medicine.
