Heart Surgeons (2018)

Powerful Acting backed up with a strong storyline & distiguished music! What more do you want?

Wow! one of the best medical drama ever!
A drama can be awesome when there is Powerful Acting along with a strong storyline & melodious music. This is that drama.
Story is intense, intriguing and gripping. It is based on the theme as the title suggests - Two lives one heart. Two patients struggle for one heart. Each doctor would make different decision which affects the 2 lives. The cases are interesting.

The story mainly tells about the 2 doctors and their choices. Choi seok han went through painful past because of a wrong decision he took with his daughter. So he changes and wants to have more power to stop the discrimination. To get that he goes on wrong path.
Park tae soo is Choi seok han's prodigy. Tae soo lost his mother because of Choi seok han but he never hold it against him. He still makes his decisions in the best of patients. So the drama shows us how different people react to the pain given to them.

Uhm Ki Joon is best as always. Choi seok han's pain, conflicts, his internal stuggle everything was just made for Uhm Ki Joon only. No one could have played it better. Choi seok han was a genius doctor, a warm person and best mentor. But a wrong choice in desperate times took him on wrong path which he was well aware of. He eventually crosses that difficult time and comes to his own self.
This is my first time watching Go soo. But man!! he stole my heart as Dr. Park tae soo!! Tae soo is a strong person and gentle person at the same time. He goes beyond his duties as a doctor. His only motto is - "JUST SAVE THE PATIENT NO MATTER WHAT!" His emotions, ideals, caring personality is well portrayed by Go soo. You root for him, cry with him, smile with him, care along with him.
Seo Ji Hye as Yoon Soo Yeon was good, though they should have give more depth to the character. Her screen time was less and in some episodes she felt like side character.
Choi Dae Hoon should be mentioned for his acting as Koo Dong Joon. He is such cutie character and the development of his character is worth watchable. His relation with his father as well as with Tae soo is great.

Other characters are good too. I loved The interactions between each characters.

Music is one of the key point of this drama. Without wonderful tones and background score, this drama would have been average. But Music is very melodious and gives goosebumps in many scenarios.

I guess they cut short the episodes, but rather than dragging to 20 Episodes with no story, this drama ended quite well with just 16 episodes.
Rewatch is possible if you fell in love with the characters. I certainly did.

who are we to decide how valuable that one day is for the patient and their family.....

-Two lives, one heart ...that’s the most perfect title for the drama for every decision affects two patients...and every doctor will have to make a decision: who should you choose ?... Can those decisions be emotionally influenced ?... Is revenge more important than life? you’ll find all the answers you are looking for in the drama.
The drama sheds light on corruption and moral dilemmas. As someone who enjoys watching medical dramas, every now and then I randomly pick a medical drama….and I guess most of you might agree that medical k-dramas have a different vibe of their own.

As for when we talk about this show I’d first of all mention that I found it slow-paced ...as a 2x speed binge-watcher I can tell you I’d have given up on 2nd/3rd ep if not for 2x ….that being said don’t think that I did not enjoy the show ….I have a different love for med dramas that keeps me close to them and this show does quite well in med aspect ….cuz if it did not there was no way I was going to watch a slow-paced drama centered around corruption and politics.
The characters here will drag you in their dilemma ...for everyone has a story …a different angle to the same set of happenings …which is quite interesting to watch
Before I talk about the leads in the drama I’d like to mention that the side characters are likable ...with their limited screen time they create really beautiful moments that have you waiting for their appearance ….

Back to lead characters:
Choi Seok Han: he’ll literally drive you crazy ...in a good way ...every time he makes a decision you’ll be like ….wait what ..no there’s something more ...there has to be a reason ...that can’t be it...you’ll want to but you won’t be able to hate him.
Park Tae Soo: You can call him our typical drama land doctor ...for he’s that - save the patient no matter what you get yourself into type doctor ...his character might sound like you know what he’s gonna do in the show...and that’s true ...you do know what he’s gonna do in the drama ...for maybe I’d have liked him more if there were more shades and layers in his character….not to mention what was given was good as well.
Yoon Soo Yeon: Was she the main character? ...at times she felt like a side character ...for her story had so much to explore and I was looking forward to her character… I don’t know if it’s the writer or the actor to blame ….but I am disappointed

The story is intriguing and gripping ...the medical and political aspects are done well and the overall vibe of the drama is really good.
All in all the drama is worth watching ...even after me having stated so many flaws if you ask me I am happy that I gave it a try ...see it more like a med drama than a political plot ….try to think in character’s shoes ...and I am sure you’ll enjoy watching.
