Hohoho....XuL...ya wanna know bout my name? maybe...next time, hmm? For now, i'm gonna introduce another series. It's a Korean series this time! It's called New Heart...

So, a bit on the story, yes? Choi Kang-guk is a genius heart surgeon who is somewhat...tireed of all the hospital politics, and the inadequate equipment of the hospital he's working in, that is a small hospital in the countryside or something. He goes fishing one day, and gets into a brawl with 3 drunk men. Now, although, their drunk, they can still fight. So, Kang-guk loses the fight, and gets injured. He is sent to the very hospital that he works in for treatment. There, he meets Lee Eun-sung, a trainee doctor who tends to his minor wounds. Suddenly, an emergency patient comes in, and the trainees, including Eun-sung, does not know how to see the X-Ray, because it appeared as if the X-Ray was wrong somewhere. Recognizing it immediately, Kang-guk does some emergency treatment to the patient, and orders for the patient to be sent to a bigger hospital. It is then Eun-sung knows that Kang-guk is actually a great doctor. Soon, Kang-guk is transferred to Gwanghee Hospital, one of the most renowned hospitals. There, he meets Nam Hye-suk, an elite student who hopes to be a great heart surgeon. As fate would have it, Eun-sung also goes there to apply to become a heart department trainee. ( or something like that...not too sure bout medical studies terms) And so begins the tale of the lives of Kang-guk, Eun-sung and Hye-suk, all 3 whom are in the thoracic department.

Whew...that was some back story huh? actually that's more like the whole 1st episode, but there wasn't much backstory in this series, so had to settle with that. And now, for the characters:

Choi Kang-guk


Choi Kang-guk is a genius surgeon who is renowned for being the first who did an open heart transplant in Korea. At first assigned to a small hospital in the countryside, he is then transferred to Gwanghee Hospital, where he becomes the head of the Thoracic Department. A stubborn man, he initially dislikes both Eun-sung and Hye-suk, but later warms up to them. He enevtually treats Eun-sung as his pupil, passing on his policies on how to be a good doctor to him. But being the stubborn man that he is, he breaks many rules of the hospital, including direct orders from the hospital director. His actions constantly land him in trouble, and with some envious doctors who eye his position as department head, will he be able to hold on through it all and STILL be a good doctor? Oh, and did I mention his actions also lead to some family problems?

Lee Eun-sung


The green trainee, Eun-sung is someone who lacks in skills and knowledge but makes up for it with heart and some strong instincts. He correctly deducts that a patient was suffering from a severre condition when a senior doctor says otherwise. Like Kang-guk, he lands himself in trouble often. He admires Kang-guk tremendously, and loves to see his operating skills. However, like his master of sorts, his good behaviour and strong will to save people tend to land him in the bad books of some senior doctors.

Nam Hye-suk



Hye-suk is an elite medical student. Initially offered a seat at a prestigious hospital overseas as trainee, she refuses as the course offered was not the course she desired, which is thoracic surgery. A person who is filled with skills, she lacks the heart that is required of a good doctor. She plays things by the books, and tends to think that some patients are not worth saving, because they bring their injuries to themselves (in one way or another). She eventually falls for Eun-sung, but will things turn out happily ever after?

Well, that's all for the main characters. There are a few interesting side characters though. These include Bae Dae-ro, a good friend of Kang-guk, and Lee Dong-gwon, a superstar heartthrob who falls for Hye-suk and makes it no secret.

Well, that's all i can say about the series right now. It's a really great series though, with exciting moments in every episode. You'll have to be prepared to look at the heart and gushes of blood many times though. And by heart, i mean a BEATING heart. Hohoho...Till next time.
