Drama review: Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim Season 1


I know Im late to just finished this drama yesterday, but it didnt appeal me much in the past. Starting to watch it since Im watching the currently airing season 2 and it's awesome. Medical drama always has its charm to attract me, perhaps because I could relate about the workload and environment they portrayed in the drama. After finished watching the first season, all I could say is I like it more compare to season 2. The veteran leads, storyline, characters, their acting, etc propose a perfect formula to the whole drama. The story tells about Han Suk Kyu as Master Kim (alias for dr. Boo Yong Joo), a triple board surgeon specialist in General Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Neuro Surgery, who suddenly disappears from the world and no one knows where he is. Seo Hyun Jin acts as dr Yoon Seo Jung, a CS fellow has a trauma from her past where her fiance died in a car accident on the day she was proposed. Yoo Yeon Seok acts as dr Kang Dong Joo, a GS fellow who was badly treated in the past because of his poor family background and he desired to be the best in his field. Master Kim works in Doldam Hospital located in suburb area and that's the place where three of them meet. Dr Yoon runs to the forest to escape from the fact that her fiance has died and injured herself; that's how Master Kim finds and takes her to the hospital to give her emergency care. She then devotes herself to work in the hospital to learn more from Master Kim. Dr Yoon and dr Kang met when she was her senior and he's an intern in Geodae Hospital's emergency unit. He fell in love with her because of her unique personality but then she suddenly disappeared and no one knew why. Five years later he is a GS second year fellow, getting transferred to Doldam Hospital because he failed a surgery on a VIP (being trapped by the hospital's director). Annoyed when first arrives in Doldam, he is surprised to find dr Yoon working in the hospital and even more surprised after finding that Master Kim was the one who helped him in the past. Story unfolds about how they try to help each patients and fight against the power of money, teaching them about humanity, friendship, and love. I love how they try portray each cases as real as possible, since in some medical dramas they dont really describe about the treatments or even carelessly do it only for the drama. I learn a lot while watching it and even amaze at how they can diagnose the disease in mere minutes??? In real life, we are delayed mostly by incomplete facilities which cant be compared to what they have in Korea. Some equipments are even rare to been seen here in my workplace. Han Suk Kyu's acting as Master Kim is beyond awesome; he is portrayed as rough outside but warm inside his heart. No wonder he got SBS Daesang in 2016. The romance  is only a bit between Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok and it isnt the main point of this drama. All the medical staffs work in a harmony and most of them are back again in season 2 although dr Yoon, dr Kang, and dr Do are absent. If you havent watch it, I highly recommend this drama! Definitely a great drama to start my 2020~^^
Rate: 9/10
