The Hospital


Today is another Sat. I turned on the tv once i lazy off on my sofa as usual in the late evening after a tiring morning. It is showing the Repeat version of a taiwanese drama, The Hospital. Since the first time this drama aired on tv on last year, i was never really completed a single episode of this drama. Maybe because one of the hero in the drama was Jerry Yan and taiwanese drama never really give me a "wow". To my surprise, it caught my attention this evening. The whole episode expressed even hidden meanings for each show and each role, and the whole story of the human being nature, no matter the warm hearted part or even the selfish and ugly part in our life. This drama was much more meaningful than any chinese hospital drama i ever watched (even The Miracle - hk).



The Hospital featuring F4 star Jerry Yan as a surgeon unknowingly drawn into his hospital’s power struggle. Leon Dai play as Jerry Yan senior colleague, Hongkong actor Richard Ng play as head of surgical departemen. Rising actress Chang Chun Ning from Holiday Dreaming and Silk takes up the female lead. This Drama adopted from a popular novel by Hou Wen Yong, The Hospital uncovers both nobility and evil within human nature, especially at times of crisis.


Dr. Su (Jerry Yan), a talented young surgeon, receives a request from the medical department to collaborate on a complicated leukemia case, the patient being the President’s daughter (Saya Chang). However, Dr. Su’s boss (Richard Ng), the head of the surgical department, fears that the head of the medical department will threaten his status in the competition for the next hospital director. When Dr. Su checks the computer for staff members involved in this special case, he sees his ex-girlfriend’s (Chang Chun Ning) name as the anesthetist. But what surprises him is that Dr. Chiu (Leon Dai), the deputy head of the surgical department, has already replaced him as the surgeon of this operation.


Rating: 3.65/5
