Hospital Ship

Story: The Story sounded very interesting when I first heart about it. I thought that a drama about doctors and nurses who are working on a hospital ship would be great. I didn‘t know they would add a romance. I love romance in dramas but not in a drama like this. At the beginning the drama had so much potential to become one of my favourite dramas because it was very different from other shows. But why did they add a love triangle (and a love story). At the beginning the story was good, but it got down after a few episodes.

 Cast: Honestly, the Cast was the reason why I watched it til the end. Ha Jiwon is one of my favourite Actresses and I have watched many dramas with her, even though the story wasn‘t very good. Ha Jiwon is an amazing Actress, maybe one of the best in Korea. But I didn‘t liked her role in the drama. I don‘t know why, but she was very cold to other people even though the other person was nice to her. To keep it short she acted very good, but her role wasn‘t very good for me. The character got on my nerves.
 Kang Minhyuk (CNBLUE) played Doktor Kwak Hyun who has a past with a famous father who isn‘t to recognize. Kang Minhyuk is a good Actor. He was impressive in The Heirs and Entertainer but the Role of Kwak Hyun didn‘t suit him. There wasn‘t any emotion for me. After I watched this drama I think Choi Jinhyuk woukd have been better that Minhyuk. The Chemistry between Jiwon and Minhyuk was like zero. I couldn‘t see any romantic feelings between them. The shouldn‘t have add a romance story…
 My favourite Actor war Lee Seowon and he was the one Actor I felt the most sorry for. Seowon has so much potential to become a very good and famous Actor but he chooses projects who aren‘t very good. Although I liked all of his roles until now. Seowon acted as the son of a hospital director and seems to be very arrogant on the outside. On the inside he is very lonely and sensitive, because of his family and past. I don‘t understand why he doesn‘t get a first lead role. I hope he gets one in the near future because his performance in this drama was one of the best.
 The supporting Actors acted well but not amazing.

 Music: The OST was good and it played at the right moments.

 I would recommend it if you don‘t care much about chemistry or if you can ignore a romance which isn‘t very useful.
 In the end I kept watching the drama only because of Lee Seowon, because he has so much potential but his dramas are not very good...

Hard pass.

Sadly I'm the type of guy who can't stop watching something once he starts. After a friend told me to watch Hospital Playlist and my sleepy nocturnal brain started watching Hospital Ship on accident, I had to finish it. Sadly, I also watch one drama at a time, and because watching this drama felt like a drag, it took me ages to finish it.

The premise of the hospital ship is kinda cool, and the characters are very diverse and quickly everyone has a very distinct personality making for a fun group of individuals, making it seem fun at first.

Then you realize the "operation" bit every episode is awful, most of the actors either act poorly or got a poor script, and a lot of situations are just insanely timed that it becomes really unbelievable. I thought I could get through it with the eventual romance, but even that was very boring.

Ha Ji Won plays her character quite well, meanwhile Kang Min Hyuk plays the most boring guy with zero personality (He looks like a fun guy to be around IRL to be fair, but either his acting or his character are just unbearable). He gets a bit better towards the end but even then he's still a husk of a human being.
Lee Seo Won is actually quite enjoyable to watch, but he's got sexual assault charges these days so that makes it quite a bit harder to like him.
Kim In Shik and Mina play typical boring, below average intelligence characters who try to brighten the mood, and Lee Han Wi is simply unbearable.

I don't really know who the target audience for this show is. A lot of the show is cringe which makes me believe that it's aimed at 12 year olds but there's also a lot of blood and visual surgery which isn't that suited for children.

Would not recommend watching this one, unless you're a big Ha Ji Won fan or something.

Contexte intéressant et romance touchante

J'ai adoré ce drama (un de mes premiers K dramas) et qui m'a incité à découvrir davantage.

L'histoire est belle, bien menée, réaliste (ou presque), avec un message un peu féministe (femmes, n'abandonnez pas vos rêves).
Les acteurs sont handsome, géniaux, la romance est touchante.
On y retrouve quelques clichés habituels (triangle amoureux, s'opérer soit même, etc.) mais ça passe.
Le contexte est intéressant (service médical civil itinérant) et la partie médicale crédible (avec indulgence).

Les OST ne sont pas particulièrement mémorables.

A voir et à revoir !

Hospital Ship um novelão médico

Sempre quis assistir esse Hospital Ship, a imagem que tinha dele é que seria algo do mesmo nível de Hospital Playlist mas quando fui lá assistir acabei me deparando com uma realidade totalmente diferente das minhas expectativas. Mas vamos por partes.

O drama tem uma proposta bem diferente do que geralmente temos a oportunidade de ver, isso porque, a medicina será exercida não em um local convencional, mas sim em um navio.

Você pode pensar que isso não tem relevância nenhuma mas logo perceberá que esse pequeno detalhe faz toda a diferença na trama. A começar pelo precariedade dos equipamentos, o número reduzido de médicos que poderão estar a bordo do navio, a região em que ele irá abranger, até mesmo o caráter de "hospital público". Tudo isso faz com que sua experiência com o drama seja bem distinta.

É nesse ponto que eu gostaria de chegar, o drama tinha uma premissa incrível, mas acabou desperdiçando esse potencial quando resolveu usar a medicina apenas como pano de fundo.

Sim nos vemos vários casos médicos ao longo da trama, mas não são muito superficiais. O foco do drama fica por conta das relações interpessoais entre os personagens, e fica mais do que evidente que a medicina é só um adereço ali.

Não sei quanto a você, mas o que me leva a assistir esse gênero em particular sempre foi o meu interesse em ver vários casos médicos complicados de diagnosticar e operações muito instigantes. E essa expectativa dessa vez não foi completamente atendida enquanto acompanhava essa história.

Sendo assim, é importante ressaltar que se você é o tipo de pessoa que não é tão aficionada nos casos médicos, pode vir a gostar muito mais desse drama do que essa dorameira que vos escreve.

É justamente por isso, que Hospital Ship me soou como um novelão médico. O relacionamento entre os personagens tem toda pinta de uma novela regada: a muita complicação, culpa e remorso, quadrado amoroso, alegação de doença terminal falsa por parte de uma personagem, doença terminal real e gravíssima por parte de outra.

Tá ai talvez essa seja a menor nota que dei a um drama médico. Vou terminar com aquela tipica frase que vivia repetindo aos professores quando minha media vinha abaixo de 8,5 : "a não professora não vou nem dormir pensando nessa nota horrorosa que tirei, sujou meu boletim".

Não adianta torcer a cara pra mim não meu amigo. A verdade é que esse drama sujou minha marca imbatível de dramas médicos arrasadores. Me poupe essa é uma reclamação LEGÍTIMA.
