I've just finished watching Surgeon Bong Dal Hee 外科医生奉达熙. It's so incredibly great that once I started watching it, I got hooked up immediately. It's a must watch for those who love Korean dramas. I always hated those kind draggy and long-winded dramas. At first I thought this is quite the same. However, I was completely proved wrong as the story began to unfold. It's really professional since many of the medical terms used are flawless and accurate. It doesn't completely focus on romance, which is what I like. Most of it focuses on chasing your dream and reaching for the stars. It's warm and lighted-hearted and it'll definitely make you laugh, make you cry and feel what the characters are feeling.
Here are some characters in the drama serial.
Bong Dal He (Played by Lee Yo Won)
Heart Surgeon - 1st Year Intern.
Her health hasnt been good since young and so she is determine to become a doctor. As difficult as it was, she managed to become an intern. However, 3 months into the internship, her heart problems suffered a relapse and she underwent another major heart operation. Because of that, she was kicked out of the internship.
She wanted to take up the internship again but her mother was against the idea and she only did medical checkups in her hometown, helping her mum in the fields in her free time. She managed to get into Seoul hospital with the “just a try” attitude, and got in via the last place of the intake. Finally, she managed to take the first step into being an intern at Seoul University. [P.S Seoul Uni is one of the most prestigious university in seoul.] She is naive, simple, righteous and have a passion for her work. She only knows how to persevere and persevere, work harder and harder. Slightly on the “not using the brain” side.
Dr Ahn Joong Geun (Played by Lee Bum Soo)
Cardiac specialist, specializing in illness of the cardiac, respiratory and digestive systems.
An extremely talented surgeon, despite being specializing in cardiac diseases, he is an all rounder. Supervisor for the Cardiactric department. He feels that it is a sin for a surgeon to make any forms of mistakes; a perfectionist in terms of being a surgeon. He is very strict towards the year 1 interns and therefore he is always angry with Dal Hee who makes mistakes all the time. He grew up in an ophanage and was adopted, however in the end he was abandoned again. During his intern years, he often compete with Lee Gun Wook and now they happened to work in the same hospital again. As Dr Ahn was an ophan, he dislikes Lee Gun Wook for the fact Lee Gun Wook “abandoned” his child (read Lee Gun Wook’s profile). Therefore, Dal Hee who was close to Lee Gun Wook was also disliked by him. However, as time goes by, Dal Hee began grabbing more of his attention…
Dr. Lee Gun Wook (Played by Kim Min Joon)
A surgeon specialist.Specializing in the disease of the liver, gut.
He is able to use both his left hand and right hand. He is a friendly and compassionate surgeon, and with his good looks, alot of girls are mesmerized by him. He grew up in a well-do family and he is the nephew of the well respected Professor Lee in the hospital. He is confident and he has a strong sense of pride. A year ago, he divorced his wife upon discovering the fact that their son wasnt his son afterall. Doesn’t get along very well with Dr Ahn. The fact that Dalhee was the first to accidentally discover the secret regarding his son, he became very close to Dalhee.
Dr. Jo Moon Kyung (Played By Oh Yoon Ah)
A Paeditrician
She is Lee Gun Wook’s ex wife.Divorced from Lee Gun Wook a year ago. She kept avoiding the fact that her son wasn’t Lee Gun Wook’s son after all and upon being discovered, she didn’t put up much of a fight when Lee Gun Wook wanted a divorce. She is smart, passionate and has a strong sense of pride.
Her character is totally similar to Lee Gun Wook. Things changed when her son got ill and she became dependent on Lee Gun Wook for comfort and Lee Gun Wook in return was not as cold as before. She slowly realized that she was still in love with Lee Gun Wook

Ok, so I'm a total Dr Ahn-Dal Hee supporter especially Dr Ahn was being so sweet and caring towards Dal Hee in the last few parts of the story. I used to support Dr Lee when soon changed my position when I saw that he was being so indecisive and hurting everyone.
