I have solid if uninspiring hopes for upcoming MBC medical drama Hospital Ship, one that rises and falls but never falls through the hopeless trap door just yet. Unfortunately the dings are the cast members other than female lead Ha Ji Won along with medical dramas not being MBC’s forte, that would be where SBS has a nice foothold. But then I think, it’s not that hard to do a decent medical genre tale of growth and bonding as doctors in the field, and in this case doctors in the ocean. Male lead Kang Min Hyuk can either be wholly miscast in believability as a doctor and Ha Ji Won’s potential love interest, or he can turn the incongruity to his benefit and surprise us all. The first drama poster is out and is nicely framed with the doctor leads perched against the railing of their hospital ship, a moment of quiet time bonding.
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…

Looking forward to this drama - I really hope HJW's character is a strong female lead where she earns the respect and loyalty of her male subordinates (like in the Japanese dramas Strawberry Night and Boss). I don't watch all the Korean dramas that are airing lately, but I feel like a lot of the new genres are more male-centered these days, so it's nice to see a strong female lead as the headliner.
What about Michiko Daimon of Doctor X?
I hope that this time they will realise that bigger isn't always better. It's suppose to be hospital ship hopping from island to island so it won't come out as big as Titanic with long halway and huge room, right? (Like what they did with nodame's room).
Oh never mind, since when kdrama bother about realism anyway.
I’ve got nothing to say except I wish this drama will do well and that HJW has a great character.
I saw the pictures and I'm really excited to see this drama.
And there will be a cameo by Jo Hyun Jae !
