Médicos (2016)

Solid trajectory but watches as continuously repetitive and tired .

Doctors is a drama that depicts lots of heart , growth and humanness.

It had a lot going for it with full bodied characters that went through their individual phrasal evolution. That was great to watch until a certain point.

It also had great full circle moments that were great to watch until a certain point.

And I believe the premise of the main love story was totally cringe with the teacher/student angle and that just brought down the atmosphere of the overall drama in hindsight.

The cast was very underwhelming and I did not like the male lead at all. he was wooden and uninspired . Everyone else was plausibly okay.

I also had a hard time finishing it because everything became so repetitive so I felt less inclined to watch past the 16 eps mark.

However , it was a sweet drama with lots of warmth and cool medical procedures that added to thrill of watching the show.So, if you are trying to enter medical dramas , I suggest this one but I can guarantee you there are probably better ones .

Film elegante ed esteticamente ben costruito

E' la storia di una giovane donna, orfana di mamma, con un padre debole e adultero, con una matrigna fredda e crudele. Dentro a questo clima familiare fa fatica a capire chi è realmente e vive alla giornata da ragazza ribelle e istintiva.
E' solo con l'incontro con l'amore incondizionato, accogliente e generoso della nonna paterna e con quello di uno strano professore/medico che le fanno scoprire la sua preziosa unicità e la mettono in condizione di far emergere tutto il suo valore, attraversando vicende ingiuste, dolorose e drammatiche.
Mi è sembrato il racconto di una catarsi, in cui nel tempo, emerge una medico di indubbio valore, ma soprattutto una persona che riesce a PERDONARE, a rimettere a posto tutti i pezzetti della sua vita.
Sullo sfondo il medical drama, ma secondo la mia opinione, la storia è il percorso di questo "IO", che salva la sua vita rinunciando all'odio, alla recriminazione, alla vendetta, pur avendo la forza per colpire duramente chi le ha fatto del male.
Il percorso che compie è accettare l'amore che le viene gratuitamente donato: dal suo uomo, dai suoi amici e dalle persone a cui dona la sua professionalità e la sua dedizione. Intorno a lei, il suo microcosmo cambia. A loro volta gli amici, i colleghi i vecchi nemici, cambiano.
Film vero e potente sul cambiamento.
Mi è piaciuto tutto il cast. Ho trovato tutti veramente bravissimi, nell'episodio 14 c'è un attore che stimo molto e che, anche per poco, realizza un'immagine di padre meravigliosa.
Le storie, anche quelle marginali, sono raccontate tutte bene, la sceneggiatura è solida e convincente.
All'inizio lo avevo droppato perché nei primi episodi, la protagonista sembra attrarre tutte le sventure possibili e immaginabili e non avevo troppa voglia di farmi coinvolgere con lo sviluppo della storia, ma devo dire che è scritta bene e che sottende parecchi valori.

I struggled a bit with this one, it's 20 episodes long and around the 10th I was wondering when something was going to happen, it was just meandering along like a soap opera most of the time. Let's put to one side what, in western society, would be repeated inappropriate behaviour between a teacher and a student on at least two occasions and just brush that aside as "oh well its drama". :)

The opening scenes of this are class, we see a mob boss and his gang come into the hospital and our female lead doctor comes to see what the problem is and is greeted by a bunch of sexist nonsense. She tries to approach the boss to examine him and is fended off, with the comment "we don't go easy on girls", to which she replies possibly the best response ever, "does that make it less embarrassing when you get beaten?" and then proceeds to drop them all to the floor with her martial arts skills.

In terms of characters and their development, it was Lee Sung Kyung's character Jin Seo-u that really stood out for me. She is the "third point" of a love triangle and general all around bitter person - she starts out actually good and welcomes new girl Hye Jung (the female lead) into her friend group at school, but it becomes clear that her strength of character is remarkably fragile and when the FL starts to achieve top marks in school things start turning south and she ends up triggering various nasty events that have an impact on numerous other characters lives. She always struck me as someone who was, at her heart, a good person - but having been brought up by parents that have taught her the wrong values she's got something of a fragile character with a keenness for lashing out, much like her father - I was really hoping that by the end of the show she'd have stepped up on her own and gained her own strength of character and one of the absolute highlights of the story for me was when this ultimately happened.

I found the romance between the FL and ML to be... odd. It's like the author threw bits and pieces into the story and it never really gels. Issues arise but don't get resolved and just forgotten about. For example, the FL approaches the ML and says that she's upset that the ML isn't letting her into his life more, he's keen to help her out but won't let her in to return it. He perfectly reasonably explains that it's just not what he's used to because of his past, I get that, and then she says that she needs him to change and let her in. To me, that sounded like a perfectly reasonable discussion and I was thrilled to see communication and compassion between the two. He then, for a separate reason, has to go off to the states for three weeks. When he comes back, he's cold, distant, damn near ignores her and talks formally only to her. I thought it was really odd and thought - oh here comes "stupid breakup #1" but no, he explains "i was waiting for your call", and she says "oh" and boom - we're back on track folks. Wait, what? He still hasn't let you into his life, he still hasn't resolved the core issue you raised, but we're ok now? Hmm.

Once the two actually get together they have a fun time and I enjoyed seeing them together.

Tertiary characters
- In Ju - brilliant, wish we'd seen more of her. I kept getting triggered thinking "I'm sure i've seen her before" and then it dawned on me that some of her expressions and mannerisms are an absolute likeness for a slightly older Kim So Hyun.
- Choi Kang Soo - one of the junior doctors, goes through a tough time and I really enjoyed seeing those parts of the story. Also hints at possible future relationship there though it isn't really explored in the drama.
- Ahn Jong Dae - a fun character, another junior doctor, and potential future relationship for him too - though again, not explored.

Good to see Nam Goong Min in as a guest for two or three episodes too, he played a really nice role, quite a tough one, and it's nice not to see him as the evil bad guy for a change (Remember, Girl who sees Scents).

Overall, worth a watch, but not one that had me keen to click Next Episode as much as some of the others i've seen.

Sweet medical drama!!

First I need to confess that I no real fan of medical dramas, this kind of dramas are always in the bottom of my list for watching However I read the plot and I thought why not.

So nice to watch Dortors is a drama that show diferent real cases and situations in a hospital also mix romantic and cute situation, Park Shin Hye did a good work and the principal actor is so nice he is so tender and comprensible always help (I know I fell in love).

My last medical drama was Blood and was the worst. In Doctors you can find kind and cute second male who didnt angry of create unconfortable situations conversely He always funny and his relations with everyone so great.

The ost was nice too. "No way" is my favorite song ^^ you must to listen...In review the cast, situations, the ending(so romantic) are things that worth seeing. No is the best drama I know But no is bad you can enjoy and delight

Great synopsis

Ah doctors, the name itself suggests that a story would be superheroes saving lives.but you will be disappointed as me if you are a medic
A great synopsis was writted to lure the adience into the trap but after the coming from a countryside university PSH backdrop had nothing to do with it. She just focused on her work, the story shifted onto secondry characters.I thought when I started watching this series that PSH is very talented but as the story grew i don't know it lacked all the elements of a good story of this medical field.
The leads were wasted in this story. Had it not been for the leads i would have dropped it after 8 episode.The only possiblie thing that I completed it was PSH.
Matured love couple dating naturally. No spark no feel. Story huh where was it.they were too stiff as a couple. I just coldnt feel their
It was a very poor written script am really very disappointed.
Ost no never want to listen again.
Rewatch please give me a break to finish it.

Badass female lead for a badass drama.

I love any drama where there is female empowerment. I have particularly enjoyed watching this drama because it shows a different portrait of beauty. Usually Asian dramas tend to depict females as week, gentle and prette but that is not the case. In this drama the female lead is a badass woman, sometimes rude to hide her weaknesses and sometimes gentle and the contrast between these two sides of the character is what makes her beautiful. It is what makes her real.

The story is catchy and the acting cast is truly good. I loved every single character especially the second male lead. He truly is husband material. Also the second female lead was an interesting character who, in the end, recognizes her faults and accept them. The main couple was a bit off though, I wish their relationship could be build a little more. Overall, this drama is really good.

Doctors is a drama I had been anticipating for quite a while. The pictures and news about it had me very excited as it would be Park Shin Hye stepping out of her normal comfort zone. She'd be a fighting kick butt woman who despite all odds became a doctor! Which would be fun! I didn't really expect too much out of the drama as Park Shin Hye tends to be in dramas that eventually lose there way. (Pinocchio being the only exception, though I'm currently not 100% done with it. But I have faith in the writer.) I thought that she wouldn't have to cry too much, Park Shin Hye acting seems to have a lot of tears, and that she'd finally graduate from cold kisses to Pinocchio power house kissing.

So yeah. I was excited. Not to mention the other cast members.

Doctors has some of the best flashback story I have ever scene. The first 3 episodes are setting up Hye Jung's past and her connections to the other cast. It was so exciting! Fresh! I had no idea how they'd jump back to the future and make that story better then those first 3 episodes. Because that story was engaging and I would have been happy with the story progressing from there. Yes, I had issues with Hye Jung and Ji Hong having a teacher/student romance. However, I could not deny the chemistry these two characters had together.

The jump happened, it's a 13 year gap between the present story and the past. The writer created an interesting cast and the new characters as well as the ones from Hye Jung's past were all unique and fun. It seemed like Doctors was doing it! The jump to present day was exciting! There was WOMANCE between Hye Jung and her long time friend Soon Hee. Soon Hee was so great and I was excited for a female lead to have a great FEMALE FRIEND. A rarely embraced thing in dramaland. Ji Hong and Hye Jung's picked up their romance! It felt beautiful and the rain dancing scene will be an iconic thing for me, but I feel like it will be for dramaland period.

There were so many possibilities with this show! Fabulous side characters and . . . it only lasted until about episode 8, where this show peaked for me. Then after that it slowly declined as stupid drama tropes swept in to kill this drama. Such as hospital takeover politics, and Hye Jung obsessing about getting an apology for her grandmother's wrongful death. Which leads to a very dragged out boring plot in which we all know the villain will have to have surgery from the people he has wronged.

Sure the drama tried to hold on up to episode 14, but then it's like the writer gave up. The side characters were completely forsaken. The WOMANCE was only seen in brief glimpses and Soon Hee was given the ax. Other characters that were brought in and developed where either totally forgotten or given a few scenes towards the end. Basically the networks and writers don't realize that what makes the shows are their characters. The tropes that they feel the need to shove in and kill the dramas are the things that fans hate! There never had to be a hospital politics to make this drama interesting!! Hye Jung's story of becoming a Doctor and overcoming realistic every day odds would have been better. Focusing on the stellar cast, their chemistry together, and their lives would have been interesting. I know the writer wanted to go there as most of the episodes started and ended with a monologue from a character. Which was clearly inspired by Grey's Anatomy format.

Truth is I felt like all the effort and amazing aspects of this show were put into the first 8 episodes. Then someone said, hey we have our audience let's phone it in. I think the writer kept trying from episodes 9 to 14, but the show just got away. Plot lines were started and then never explored. The writer clearly knew how to start the show, but didn't quite have enough skills to take it to the end. Opting out to do hospital politics and lame revenge stories that only hindered Doctors in the long run.

It even hindered the romance! Hye Jung and Ji Hong actually grew stale and I felt like they're relationship never grew. Back hugs and cute little scenes of smiling does not a romantic development make. By the end of the drama I didn't care about them getting together. The issues they discussed where never explored and Hye Jung changed, but Ji Hong just stayed the same. Hye Jung striking him out when he did things they discussed they wouldn't do was a joke. When I thought the story was taking them somewhere it was all taken back.

As to date this is my favorite role for Hye Jung. She really put the effort in to learn how to fight and those scenes were flawless. Sadly her character cried a lot, she had reason. But I've just seen so much of Park Shin Hye's roles as water work fests that I have a very low tolerence to how much I can stand seeing her cry. There's other ways to show sadness.

The side characters and cast did an amazing job! Though I feel like all the interesting characters were wasted! Not to mention Yoon Do. It wasn't so bad with him, but I feel like they could have taken him to even better places. I do enjoy that Seo Woo was redeemed and decided to live better. Actress Lee Sung Kyung did a great job and I hope to see her in roles outside of her mean girl ones. There were a lot of great characters and their actors did well with what little time they were given.

It baffled me that Kang Soo, played by Kim Min Suk, was given so much plot time. But they chose to do a very long and boring plot device that they then used on another character. Why?

Moon Ji In was one of my favorite actress discoveries and I loved her character! She was such a force on screen and as I mentioned had a WOMANCE with Hye Jung. It's another crime that she was abandoned in favor of the dull plot lines. Not to mention the way we're supposed to believe Soon Hee will have someone. It was cold.

The music went like the whole drama. They did some 90s stuff to flavor the flashback and then to connect Ji Hong and Hye Jung together. It was amazing!!! Then of course that too was abandoned, as I assume it was to much effort and not important with the boring plot line. (Yeah, I'm bitter guys.) The OST is really fun and the songs were pretty great! They matched the drama well, but towards the end I thought some of the song/music placements were odd.

Rewatch? Hmmmmm, I'd probably rewatch the first 8 episodes and then make up the story from there. The next few episodes weren't bad and I could live with them up to 10. However, the majority of the drama is boring and the unique and amazing parts saved the first half of it. In my bitterness I don't think I'd rewatch. Simply because while watching the good episodes I'd feel rage about how this series became yet another great idea that was a waste in the end.

If someone was looking to watch this I'd say watch the first 8, or the very least watch the first 3 episodes to see how amazing Park Shin Hye did for the role. Then I would caution that the drama declines and doesn't pan out. Also, I'd probably keep an eye out for writer Ha Myung Hee's work. Besides Doctors she's done High Society, which is another drama that started out strong but went boring. For me this has always been a curse of K-dramas. They have unique ideas but no follow through and become very boring. This year has been a revolution in dramas with Signal and quite a few others. Sadly there are still step backs like Doctors.

Non so perchè ma questo drama mi fa venire in mente la canzone Lullaby dei Nickelback.
A dispetto di quello che pensavo, questo drama mi è piaciuto tantissimo. La parte più bella forse è lo stacco tra passato e futuro: dopo questo lasso di tempo ritroviamo gli stessi personaggi più grandi e maturati, ed è proprio questa crescita personale che mi ha colpito molto. Li ho trovati profondi, segnati, uno diverso dall'altro.
C'è una buona dose di dramma, alternata da momenti dolci e da avventure personali. Apprezzate le operazioni chirurgiche (se avete problemi con il sangue, non guardatelo), i vari personaggi secondari che portano cmq messaggi molto importanti e fanno riflettere su determinate questioni. Qui ho ritrovato una bravissima Park Shin Hye che avevo già amato in Pinocchio e ho scoperto Lee Sung Kyung, un'attrice che mi ha colpito molto, tanto che ho messo in lista altre sue opere. Per la prima volta dopo diverso tempo posso dire di aver trovato un buon finale, cosa che ho apprezzato molto. Personaggio top però il ragazzino dai capelli colorati, l'ho amato!!
Consigliato davvero, davvero tanto!

I'm currently watching this drama as I accidentally came across it on Netflix. And I extremely happy that I did because it's extremely interesting!! The two main leads are adorable despite him being her teacher 13 years ago XD. It's vry interesting and the tension is woahhhh XD. But tbh I feel really bad for the second main lead, he's such a cutie in all ways possible. I definitely recommend watching this, it's about a girl who turns her life completely around because of two people; her grandma and teacher? I don't even know what to call him- teacher? professor? doctor? Aha , the fact that there were student and teacher doesn't bother you once you actually watch the drama, you kind of forget. (well that's how I felt).

I'm just hoping this has a good ending tbh.
thank you :) >.<

This is a brilliant KDrama. The drama portrays a real life experiences. The hospital setting is where you encounter a variety of situations that you yourself will learn a lesson to make you aware you are a human being with emotions to handle. In Every relationship has ups and down moment, can't be perfect. Beside with so many problems HJ &amp;amp;amp; JH must handle at the same time and they're just being together in short time, still learn to understand each other after 13 years apart it was not easy. Based on OST songs, it will end up good after fighting for 13 years. It's not a short time to keep loving someone with those longing... &amp;amp;quot;Love conquers all&amp;amp;quot; PSH &amp;amp;amp; KRW is naturally having chemistry &amp;amp;amp; did portray the life of HJ &amp;amp;amp; JH. PSH always brings out the best of her partners as well of all the the co-stars she works with. Watch BTS of teh Drama and everyone is giving appreciation how good &amp;amp;amp; loving PSH is. The ratings in Korea nationwide can not deny the value of the lessons you get from the Drama. There is no magic or supernatural or cartoon like in the drama.
