Synopsis
A drama that deals with the brain and neurosurgeons.
Lee Kang Hoon (Shin Ha Kyun), who graduated from the top medical school, works at the top hospital, and is the top neurosurgeon around. Basically, he’s Brain No. 1. (And he works on brains, too!) He has ambitions to become the director at his university hospital. He is obsessed with success, which is probably both his greatest flaw and strength, since it makes him steely and fierce.
However, once he meets his sunbae Kim Sang Chul (Jung Jin Young), the prickly genius doctor and world famous neurologist, he turns over a new leaf and becomes a sincere doctor. Seo Joon Suk (Jo Dong Hyuk) is a doctor and will become Lee Kang Hoon’s rival. Yoon Ji Hye (Choi Jung Won) is also a neurosurgeon who grew up in an ordinary family. She is extremely strict in matters of work and study, but has a warm bedside manner with her patients.

Note
I) This Drama was original casting by Lee Sang Yoon, Yoon Seung Ah and Lee Hyun Jin, but they all left on 20/Sep/2011 after had their first script reading on 17/Sep/2011.
II) Because of conflict of fee payment between South Korea’s integrated cable operators and KBS (cable operators want KBS, SBS and MBC to lower the retransmission fee of their programs), the cable TV system operators stopped carrying the signal of KBS2 TV station on 16/January/2012, causing the ratings of KBS drama series Brain dropped significantly, falling from top ranking position to last ranking position. The cable operators have announced that if this impasse cannot be resolved, they will consider to stop relaying the signal of MBC and SBS as well (Source)

Already watched ep. 1. The story sound interesting. I have been watch “obsterics & gynnnnnecology doctors”, and the operation parts are so real & the story are touching, too. Looking forward ” Brain ” will be better. All the casts of ” Brain” – FIGHTING.

… the charm of this drama lies with the main actor – Sin Ha-gyoon. I’m looking forward to his character development – from an arrogant and petulant ‘child/adult’ to … I also like Jun Jin Young. Would like to see how their relationship develops. It is good … with the appropriate casts for their roles. Hope the drama would do better in ratings! Let’s give it a chance lol.

@Is, very well put! Shin Ha Gyoon is marvelous in this drama! This is the first time I see him act and I am totally a fan!
November 27th, 2011 at 11:08 am

November 29th, 2011 at 9:23 am
Ok, I’ve never seen Shin Ha Gyoon act before and this is the first time. Is it just me or he is a really really good actor?? I am just amazed every week! His acting is so…. powerful and persuasive! Does he just get a role that’s perfect for him, or is he always that good???

This drama is very good. It portrays the main lead’s ambition and struggle to succeed. The story is very convincing. I cannot blame the main lead but root for him, regardless of his arrogance and many setbacks. Now I wait for Mondays and Tuesdays for the drama.
