New star-studded TV series to expose capitalist logic weighing on medical industry

2018/07/23 17:50;  Yonhap

 

SEOUL, July 23 (Yonhap) -- A new TV series starring two heartthrobs will kick off its eight-week run on Monday to expose the reality of the medical service sector coming being driven by the capitalist logic of profit making.

The investigative drama "Life" starts with the arrival of Koo Seung-hyo, played by Cho Seung-woo, as the new head of a top-level university hospital.

 

As a loyal employee and young executive at the business conglomerate Hwajeong, which took over the loss-making hospital, Seung-hyo seeks to reform the institution and clashes with the director of the hospital's emergency medical center, Ye Jin-woo, played by Lee Dong-wook.

 

Jin-woo, a faithful doctor who puts the value of human life above anything else, fights Seung-hyo's business-minded management style quietly but consistently.

 

"Jin-woo is a common doctor who strives to achieve the ultimate goal of saving people's lives. A series of episodes he sees happening around him bring in a change in Jin-woo's mind and make him decide to act to save the hospital," Lee said in a press conference promoting the TV series from cable channel JTBC.

Cho said that his character started off as a villain who kowtows to the powerful and tramples on the weak. "But he comes away with something he learns from the hospital, learns his lesson and sees a change taking place inside him."

   He continued, "He's not a entirely evil person. (At the end) he does everything he can do in his power to save the hospital and his business group at the same time."

   Moon So-ri, who plays the hot-tempered director of the hospital's neurosurgery center, Oh Se-hwa, said that the message from the series may be applicable to not only the medical service sector but the education field or other areas where capitalist logic clashes with traditional values.

 

"It is a work that raises the question of how we can raise our immunity (to capitalist logic) and what values we have to hold onto," Moon said.

 

The scenario was written by Lee Soo-yeon, whose 2017 TV series with tvN, "Stranger," drew solid critical acclaim and won her the best TV scenario award for the 2018 Baeksang Arts Awards.

 

It's Cho's second collaboration with the star scenario writer, having starred in "Stranger." Two more actors, including Yoo Jae-myung, appear in the new TV series, having previously worked on the 2017 series.

 

"At first, I felt burdened by working once more with writer Lee Soo-yeon. Her work is something that gives me a headache to interpret and act on. I was anxious, asking myself if I could make it," Cho said, adding that he made the right choice in the end.

For Lee, it was out of his wish to shatter the image of a sad lover that he established in the sensationally successful tvN fantasy series "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God," which ran from late 2016 to early 2017.

"I chose this work as I was looking for a role that was opposite to (what I did then) and that could change my image entirely," Lee said.

 

"Having played a messenger from the underworld in the fantasy, I was attracted to this very realistic story," he said.

 

Producer Hong Jong-chan hinted at a turning of the tide in the story and the opposing characters of the two main male actors: "Seung-hyo harbors innocence behind his hard-headed image, while Jin-woo seems to be sharpening a sword (for revenge) deep inside him that his more terrifying than that of Seung-hyo."

   Starting Monday, the 16 episode-series with will be broadcast every Monday and Tuesday. Currently, the actors and actresses are filming the 13th and 14th episodes, according to the channel.

HA DONG KYUNG – HOME (LIFE OST PART 1)

 

Drive me home of my own
before the break of dawn
Used to be a little dreamer
kept running rain or shine
After all those thousand rainbows
now I’m knocking on the door
Can someone will be there for me

All the joys all the sorrows
not a thing behind the door
You keep me warm like the fire
just place me in your arms
After all your thousand kisses
now I know that you’re my home
You left the door wide open while I’m gone


Before I know what I know
thought that I’m made out of gold
Was young and wild dare to face end of December
and there’s no one by my side
All alone when I’m down
Before the dawn bring me back to my home


Drive me home of my own
Just before the break of dawn
Used to be a little dreamer
kept running rain or shine
After all those thousand rainbows
now I’m knocking on the door
I need the door wide open while I’m gone


Before I walk on this road
heard the stories from my old
What to smile and what to cry what to remember
You can’t define what’s wrong and right
Believe yourself, it’s fine
Don’t you know, there is always your home


I look up to the sky and reach the stars
The moon is shining on my soul
And all of my dreams all that I wish
Doesn’t mean a thing on my own
Take me home
The place I can hide


Oh I know yes I know
Was just blind and fool so long
Now I smile and now I cry and I remember
Everyday and every night
There was your candle light
Now I know, you’re the home of my own


Drive me home of my own
Just before the break of dawn
Used to be a little dreamer
kept running rain or shine
After all those thousand rainbows
now I’m knocking on the door
I need the door wide open while I’m gone

1. [+631, -19] Cho Seung Woo is seriously a real intense ending. It's a new medical drama. I wish you get a 15% rating.
 
2. [+311, -15] Only Cho Seung Woo's afterimage remains. With just his one eye gaze, he made us forget all the doctors, interns, and residents - that's just the force itself
 
3. [+212, -8] Cho Seung Woo didn't have much lines but his screen presence is awesome
 
4. [+200, -7] I'm curious about actor Lee Kyu Hyung's character's identity...
 
5. [+133, -9] This is a drama.

1. [+558, -17] Cho Seung Woo's presence is overwhelming 
 
2. [+198, -4] This writer is truly a national treasure writer (t/n: this writer also wrote 'Secret Forest'/'Stranger')
 
3. [+130, -18] Cho Seung Woo you can trust to watch...
 
4. [+119, -21] Lee Dong Woo is just Ye Jin Woo ã„·ã„· I'm going to make sure to watch it today too

[Life] Ep 3 Episode ends with Jo Seung Woo smiling, is he a good person?
 
Article: Naver 'Life' Jo Seung Woo begins management restructuring... Medical team opposes


1. [+389,-9]
Very interesting. 

2. [+322,-5]
Everything is good but I hope they lower the volume of the sound effects... and what's with ending? ...Jo Seung Woo is cute...

3. [+202,-4]
The last part with Jo Seung Woo's smile seem like he's not totally a bad guy. I think he's a double agent. It's as if he's worked for the chairman for a long time...

4. [+179,-1]
What's with the final part... Jo Seung Woo smiled like a puppy when he touched the puppy... Why are flower petals falling? And the bgm, why...

5. [+121,-13]
Nothing much is happening, but the music and background is at the level of Japanese invasion in Korea..... It's just about going to the place or not..... not much tension going on too.


6. [+97,-2]
Can't they respond to the feedback on bgm? I get so stressed watching the drama. ã… ã…  Either lower the volume, or don't add in the bgm when it's unneccessary. 


7. [+82,-5]
Not sure if Lee Dong Wook is a doctor or a patient. He looks lifeless and sick. 


8. [+76,-2]
What's with Jo Seung Woo? Why did he get scared alone, then cute, smart, mean, goosebumps-inducing and kind, he did everything. What's this? It's too good. ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
