September 18th, 2013 at 4:17 am
Am already in love with this drama and also hope it would be better than good doctor.
September 18th, 2013 at 4:51 am
I’ve been looking forward to this drama for a long time – I love the cast and most importantly I love the writer. The writer of ‘Brain’ – if this drama is just half as good as ‘Brain’ it will be a masterpiece :).
September 18th, 2013 at 7:50 am
looking forward to it.i hope the story will not go somewhere just like EMPIRE OF GOLD.the synopsis was not the same in the actual story.feel bad!
September 18th, 2013 at 2:03 pm
So far, I cannot find any reason why I shouldn’t Watch this Drama.. specially after reading ‘Joo Ji Hoon’…. anticipating!
September 18th, 2013 at 2:31 pm
@mikay
i like empire of gold even without loveline betwen two lead, the story is unpredictable
September 18th, 2013 at 3:30 pm
To #9 how come if this drama is just half as good as ‘Brain’ it will be a masterpiece? MTT should be surpass Brain if they want to be masterpiece,because I think Brain is not good,but Shin hakyun’s acting is very solid so Brain can be success. I think from the synopsis I haven’t found nothing special in MTT,but who know if they can bring interesting case just like good doctor.btw I’m not fan of the cast,but I’ll check if MTT as good as good doctor
September 18th, 2013 at 5:35 pm
I didn’t watch Brain. Last, I watched “Golden Time” but didn’t finished.
I will try this drama ^_^
September 18th, 2013 at 6:45 pm

September 18th, 2013 at 7:40 pm
OMG IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS
September 19th, 2013 at 7:43 am
If this drama is written half as good as Good Doctor, then it will be a good one. If it’s anything less, I won’t have the patience to watch it. I’m tired of poorly written, illogical drama. I’m watching back to back good dramas — Good Doctor and Master’s Sun, anything less is a waste of time (Crazy Love).
September 19th, 2013 at 8:13 am
Can’t wait to watch the hole thing about this drama, especialy my Ju ji hoon Oppa ^_^

I am excited than any of u.I wish people would watch this instead of heirs. Fell in love with the actress in history of a salary man
September 19th, 2013 at 4:20 pm
will this be like “private practice” of u.s. tv? i’d like to watch this just to see how korean production of medical specialties will be presented. the drama in ‘brain’ was good, except i did not find it realistic that the neurosurgeon could see what his brain looked like while being operated on (he was not fully sedated).
September 19th, 2013 at 4:59 pm

some may not realize director of this drama is director of The Moon that Embraces The Sun and scriptwriter of Brain
the story will be good since the writer is experienced with medical drama

I mean too much blood,, in some opetation scene which make make me disgusting,, I watched Good Doctor, Brain or some of American series like E.R, Greys Anatomy but the scene which envolved with blood its okay.. at least for me.. but i mean I just saw the trailer of Medical Top Team so just waiting for the first ep so I will desided to continued watching this drama or not.. i do watched Brain and MoonThat Embracing The Sun but these two was not my favorites kdrama..
September 23rd, 2013 at 6:26 pm
Minho is handsome but i don’t like his eyes
September 23rd, 2013 at 6:31 pm
@emerald
I’M NOT SURE BUT I HOPE SO, heirs seems like another Boys Before Flower, Medical top team, for some people who already love Good doctor will hesitate to watch another medical drama in short time
If talk about cast i think this drama have better cast in acting, but heirs have more popular cast
I can’t predict the rating, sometimes drama that i thought good get lower rating

October 3rd, 2013 at 8:16 am
Joo Ji Hoon puts the glamour in all the trailers and possibly the whole series. His gait, style, looks and even when he sashays into the room, he brings with him an air of sophistication. If only for him, I will watch this series but Jung Ryu Won has always delivered so this should be a great watch.
October 4th, 2013 at 10:57 pm

October 10th, 2013 at 1:44 pm
I used to be Kwon Sang Woo’s big fan during his Stairway to Heaven era but not anymore 🙁 I hope this drama will be as successful as Brain which has the same scriptwriter but I doubt KSW’s acting is on par with Shin Ha-kyun.

October 11th, 2013 at 3:06 pm
bad rating
October 11th, 2013 at 3:42 pm
This drama is never getting better if kwon sangwoo can’t improve his pronounciation or if the writer can’t make realistic surgery. If u read in baidu there’s alot of harsh comment about kwon sangwoo’s acting and surgerical scene. There’s some comments too from soompi:
ck1Oz: Hey didn’t some of you say you liked medical dramas because you are in the medical field?
Who’s good with cardio thoracic surgery? Kwon Sang Woo’s pronounciation is driving some of the subbers wild. Plus JRW is not as bad but not that flash as well. But it’s giving me a headache. I can’t make sense at the end of episode 1 whether they are trying to sort out a descending thoracic aneurym or abdominal aneursym.
It’s driving me nuts, first she goes high/proximal/ chest for descending thoracic then suddenly we’re in the abdomen and with the Koreans using plain layperson ( on top, below etc) it ain’t making any sense. Who can watch it and make sense and pm me? I mean I am okay with general surgery etc but when it’s blood everywhere and I can’t locate where it is, and the subs makes NO sense- I can’t even correct it so that it makes medical sense. Even the unclear pronunciation of the various veins/arteries are not helping.
For the rest of you who are watching for the eye candy and pretty you can ignore me. Seriously. I am not easily offended
fujiwara_mayu: it’s a hot issue among netizens on how kwon sangwoo mispronounces his line much worst with medical terms. some medical terms are flashing on the screen for the benefit of the watchers. but seriously, they already said in presscon that there’s no such thing as medical top team and you can even expect some surgical techniques to be more fictional than real. the squirting of blood itself is unrealistically happens in actual operating.. they have to solve serious cases that has lower than 50% success rate which is more likely impossible to solve.
It can’t be called Doctor version of Mission Impossible if it really happens in real life. It’s a fictional medical drama though they apply real hospital/surgical settings and some medical practices.

October 11th, 2013 at 3:47 pm
I am half way through ep 1, I like the pace and the set up. I cried out loud in satisfaction when Park Tae Shin finally pushed Seo Joo Young aside because she kept on interfering him from saving the cocktail waitress, I was like, OMG, get out of the way you Idiot! He is trying to save her, you know? Let him handle it! Haha!
BTW, Park Tae Shin’s annual salary stated in the contract with his new employment is $800,000. Woot!
October 11th, 2013 at 6:48 pm
dunno exactly abt aktivity in hospital…but what all they do.. I never watch it in real life…arguing abt patient in front of a lot ppl, talk with louder voice ..never hear a docter speak like that.. usually in hospital doc not speak much (in my country)if u want talk more..just come to docter office with appointment !!…hehhe so I just enjoy watch this as drama :))
October 11th, 2013 at 8:37 pm
i can’t wait to watch ep 3, the beginning of medical top team!
October 12th, 2013 at 3:44 am
don’t take a drama too seriously. enjoy when you can, and you can just stop when you can’t.
those harsh comment can’t stop me from watching this haha~
i think people should learn how to critic politely… lol

FROM BULGARIQ-FIGTHING!GOOD EKIP,DRAMA-FANTASTICO!
October 12th, 2013 at 7:25 am
I will continue watching this drama. I enjoy watching my favorite actor Joo Ji hoon come back to prime time. He still very good in passive acting not hysterical kind beside of being too handsome. The other actors and actress they are all good esp. The veterans.
October 12th, 2013 at 7:37 am
I will stay until the very END!! I know it’s a problem with Kwon Sang Woo’s pronunciation. But who the hell don’t stumble over certain words. Heck, I myself stumble over certain small word. I think many of you are expecting 100% out of the poor guy. I hope he doesn’t get depress or feel bad. I will stay no matter what. I’m more surprise that there’s not a riot for the stereotype in “HEIRS”( Although I’m stilling watching that also, the writing needs to pick up).
October 12th, 2013 at 7:38 am
I think this drama may have less to do with medicine and more to do with people. So anyone expecting accurate depictions of surgical procedures might be disappointed.
If they keep the heart of the story all about “Saving Paran Clinic”, rather than drag us through and keep us locked inside the cold impersonal world of competing doctors, their power struggles at the expense their patients, they might have a winner. Certainly the premise is set for a heart-warming yarn.
We can hope.
October 12th, 2013 at 8:01 am
Medical top team is also very good
October 12th, 2013 at 12:03 pm
Doctor Park Tae Shin agreed to join the MTT do doubt because it was stipulated as a condition that they will fund and keep opened “Paran Clinic”.
October 12th, 2013 at 4:07 pm
In my opinion Good Doctor is more selling then this drama, sorry if someone may think this words is offensive, cuz i notice that some of u get liking this drama, it is my own opinion though, i will skip this drama for sure.. too boring and not compelling enough..
October 12th, 2013 at 5:29 pm
very good drama!good team!saranheo!
October 13th, 2013 at 2:10 am
@yozora Yes, if compare to Good Doctor, the GD’s scenario were better staged and more realistic compare to this drama. Also they’re tackle issue about savant syndrome which rarely (I think it’s the first) in kdramaland, so that’s why the scriptwriter has winning award in korea drama award. Even the main casts Good Doctor (joowon, joo sangwook, moon chaewon) have nominated top excellent award in there
October 13th, 2013 at 2:34 am
very good drama ,
i wonder why rating too low ,
Secret is predictable drama , rich but lazy , stupid guy ,
poor girl ….
i don’t like the lead actress in Secret , too much cosmetic

Not at all @Yozora, make known your opinion without any fear.
I loved “Good Doctor”, but it is a different kind of story to this one. Good Doctor showed us the personal struggle of an autistic individual trying to find his place in an unforgiving world, without compromising his principles.
This drama supposedly is about a team of top-gun doctors, but it began by showing the poignant struggle of volunteer doctors to keep open a free clinic for the sake of patients who’ve not the means to pay for medical treatment. And when they were not able, finding places that would provide the care the patients needed.
And when all the patients found they way back to the defunct clinic, and in order to restore the clinic for the returned patients, our hero sign-up for the MTT.
I’m already scoffing at the corny title of the so-called elite medical team — “Medical Top Team” ..pfft!. They may as well call themselves the “Medical Top-Guns” or “The Magnificent Medics” or perhaps “Special Medical Ninjas”..LOL!! Yup, they’re like elite gun-slingers recruited for jobs that in themselves may be morally ambivalent.
Anyway, the drama has just started, so we can’t really compare it with Good Doctor just yet.

Are you @katy really watching “secret”? From what I’ve seen and read some comments, “Secret” is really unpredictable and make viewers curious. I heard secret scripwriter has winning contest. Until now they have solid story and the acting esp lead actress HJE is good. She has many good projects: Giant, Can you heart my heart, Golden time, Incarnation money, and Secret. So that’s why I think I know why PD chose her as lead actress.
October 13th, 2013 at 10:15 am
@ katy .
I have to agree with Jury 105.Of course everyone has a different taste so,it is fine if you find “Secret ” predictable.I personally really-really like it.Also, I like “Medical Top Team “too .I always loved medical dramas anyway.
The lead actress in my opinion is one of the best K actress and in this particular drama the heroine she plays is a self centered person.It is unacceptable to blame your team when is you that has the problem.And anyway on first place YOU NEVER lose your patience in the operation room.When it comes to someone’s health is not ” I “but “US” together trying to do our best for patient’s behalf.
October 13th, 2013 at 11:20 am
The first two episode is better than i expected
Agree with Nudge, I really love Good doctor the best drama in 2013 I watch so far but this drama is really different story n the focus is different the only same thing I see is medical aspec, I hardlly finish medical drama so far only good doctor eventhought I try many medical drama but I can’t finish so I’m surprise I already like ths drama since ep 1 after really love another medical drama
I just watch Secret ep 1, haven’t like it yet but I still wanna continue because I heard the story is unpredictable n the rating rising so much
For heirs i’m not interested plus I heard many bad comment about that drama
October 13th, 2013 at 2:48 pm
i really like good doctor. ju won is a good actor though joo hi hoon is my favorite. of all the korean actors who plays the role of a doctor i think so far, lee jang wok (kim do han) is still the best.
October 13th, 2013 at 8:15 pm
Kwon Sang Woo has a very ahjosssi looking perm, hope the curls will be looser and more relax soon.
October 14th, 2013 at 3:53 am

Good Doctor hands down is the best medical drama of the year. Sorry “Medical top team” i aint gonna watch it.
October 15th, 2013 at 3:23 am
“medical top team” semoga tidak seperti good doctor yang menggunakan fake probandus. sampai saat ini cuma “golden time” drama medical korea yang memukau dengan semua tindakan medisnya yang real.
October 15th, 2013 at 12:20 pm
This is another awesome drama with great actor Kwon Sang Woo!
So far, the story is very interesting!
October 17th, 2013 at 4:44 am

I’m thinking the same with you @torry, the past few ep is suck. Maybe i will drop this drama. I had watch one medical drama this year and my opinion Good Doctor is still the best medical drama this year
October 18th, 2013 at 12:40 pm
secret is the best….
October 18th, 2013 at 2:25 pm
I agree with some of the comments above….Good Doctor is great drama.
But this drama is a little off. -The 1st 3 episodes kept my interest But in episode 4, the script didn’t go very well. I don’t know if it’s because some of the scenes got lost in translation or if the writer wants to depict Gwon Sang Woo’s character as a little eccentric but if the doctors are in surgery, do they have to ask questions such as “should I do it?” or just like that scene where he had to hold the patient’s heart yet he suddenly dropped it because he got a little nervous? If he was a good surgeon trained in America, had great experience and excellent resume, he shouldn’t be second guessing himself and would rather be the take-charge and confident type. But the drama showed him to be a little less self-assured.
October 19th, 2013 at 3:47 pm
Such a small rating for such a good drama and wonderful actors
October 19th, 2013 at 11:33 pm
medical top team is underrated for kimchi aunties. but this is how it is, they got poor rating not because it’s poor but because it depicts realistic surgical methods. it scares away the ajhummas and to think kwon sangwoo has speeh problem is an issue. although in reality, some doctors have speech problem as well like the my grandma’s doctor who is an ob gyne.
October 20th, 2013 at 11:30 am
I agree this drama is being underrated but i don’t care anymore! Underrated MTT is still amazing for me…The plot is well made and the acting very good!!! Can’t wait for the next episode. MTT fightinggg!!!!
October 20th, 2013 at 4:39 pm
f I hvnt watch Good Doctor so I couldnt compare but I guess what u all written here is correct – difference scenario of hospital.
I agree with what @nudge says about this drama – about the title Medical Top Team?
It has been interesting for first 4 episodes. The character of Dr. Park really lighten up the atmosphere in the hospital which looks very stiff & tense – Chief Han – Joo Ji Hoon – he looks very tall in this drama or has he grown taller cuz the others looks short. He stand out. That was not the case when he was Pince Shin – Goong- I still remembers his smile…. so sweet. As what we know Chief Han is the son of the Chairman son’s mistress, correct me if I am wrong. I wish Chief Han character would be the rebellious type – rugged doctor with long hair neatly tied into pony tail & rugged wardrobe…. He hardly smile in this drama.. very serious –
Bring a little humor in this drama It would be very interesting, I know being Doctors & in hospital is a serious matter but no harm for a little bit of humor right.
Going to continue to watch this drama..waiting for the next episode.
October 20th, 2013 at 9:21 pm
In this drama, they made JJh’s age older by one year from KSW lol that’s why they make him wear that hairdo?? hehe..but he still looks gorgeous! And yes he looks tall among others and his smile make my heart melted:) He has a charisma. Can’t wait for the next episode!!!!
October 20th, 2013 at 9:40 pm
i don’t think this bunch of doctors are badass enough to qualify as “medical top team”…KSW and JRW are not very convincing as doctors…and all the medical jargon is making me fall asleep…zzzzzzzzzzz…..
October 21st, 2013 at 3:00 am
this is good drama ,why rating so low
October 21st, 2013 at 11:50 pm
@katy because this drama aired at same slot time with “secret” KBS & “The Heirs” SBS. I can say both of them good drama too….^_^. actually i just finished medical drama.Good Doctor. that a great medical drama so now i want see another theme drama.
October 22nd, 2013 at 4:52 pm
watching eps 4 made my heart beats faster. woaah looking forward next ep. btw idc about the rating, gonna continue watching ’till the end kkk
October 22nd, 2013 at 5:02 pm
@khalish, I agree with you.that’s because we just haved a great medical drama”Good Doctor”. and everyone just want to see another drama theme.the air time just to close to”Good Doctor” if they could wait until Jan or Feb next year, the rating maybe could be better.
October 23rd, 2013 at 4:10 am
MINHO,OPPA ILIKE YOU SMILE!
October 24th, 2013 at 1:17 am
Another nice drama to fill my days…. Fighting!
October 24th, 2013 at 2:20 am
I remember before this drama aired, KSW said that he envy Good Doctor but hasn’t watched it and he sure that MTT can do better and will reach at least 30% of ratings. But how sad, they even just have single digit rating ’till now. Hope it will be getting better soon.
October 24th, 2013 at 4:35 am
@134 sun
yeah,I heard about that too.it’s now bumped his face. he has big mouth and I don’t pity him, now his drama is not called drama because will never get 30% just like his said. If he’s not said like that, maybe i’ll little sympathize with him now.
October 24th, 2013 at 4:49 am
Just want to rant, kwon sangwoo is over confident, he confident that MTT will get rating over 42%. I think it’s because his last drama queen of ambition got high rating but truth to be told it’s because soo ae’s powerful acting, not because of him. I pity with rest of cast MTT especially jung ryu won because her last drama (king of drama) is not got high rating, she got award last time because her role in history of salaryman, now I doubt she got award this year.
October 24th, 2013 at 9:04 am
@rury
totally agree. Its difficult for Jong Ryo Won get award, because i think MBC give actor & actress an award depend on rating drama.
October 24th, 2013 at 12:12 pm
lol at anyone saying KSW is overconfindent with rating. he’s just boosting morale because the production already know it will not do good in rating. even before this will air, i have a doubt that it will get a good rating since it’s not ahjummas cup of tea as it focus more on scientific way of treating patients. showing realistic surgical method like how KSW lifted up human heart organ actually scared away the viewer. it’s not your typical korean medical drama that only shows blood but here in this drama, it described how real surgery works. only minority can able to eat snacks while watching the drama, it only means that they do this drama not for the rating sake but for some public awareness.
it’s not your typical majkang show so grow up and even you will say it’s a flop since it only gets single digit. advertisers don’t get a a fuck to any dramas less than 20% actually. it may affect their perception but what matters is it will sell more outside territory. they are hiring popular actors and idol just to gain more viewers but the real purpose is what i had mention above.
October 24th, 2013 at 2:29 pm
@138 park heerin
I doubt about it will sell more outside korea eventhough they cast popular idol especially korean medical drama is less popular. If they make trendy drama like Heirs eventhough the acting suck, I’ve no doubt it will popular overseas.
October 24th, 2013 at 2:39 pm
mmhh…i don’t care about rating again, as a viewer i just keep supporting to enjoys the show. MTT lucky have great actor/actress and popular also in their drama. I think MTT different with other medical drama theme, especially for realistic surgical operation. I will watch it till the end!!!:)
October 24th, 2013 at 4:52 pm
@jury you don’t live with your name aren’t you? kdramas with popular actors and idols outside korea are more popular regardless of the rating in korea. general public outside korea are more aware of the actors or idols than the drama or rating itself. if they heard ksw is the starring, they tend to like it more than other dramas because his stairway to heaven factor.
Before the drama show, they are already selling it outside country with the casts alone. NOw the advertising will just add more interest if that drama exceeds 20% rating or more. KSW said a drama is not drama if not with 30% rating just because of money sake and not for the quality.
And don’t be arrogant too much about Heirs, just like MTT it sells outside territory because of Lee Minho’s name. Kwon Sangwoo, Joo Jihoon, Jung Ryeowon, and Choi Minho are well known outside Korea. Their names are selling it even the rating is not that good. But I’m hoping that some people will give it a try regardless, it’s just so happen that kimchi aunties are not ready to watch live organs on TV. The acting is still good.
October 25th, 2013 at 12:06 am
The problem I have with this drama is the storyline–it sucks!!! I need to root for someone. At first I thought I had found the person in the doctor from the free clinic, but the the story went in another direction. I can’t stand the lead female actress’ character–and she is one of my absolute favorite actresses. I couldn’t wait to see each episode of Good Doctor and Master’s Sun. With this drama I forget that it’s airing. However I never forget to look out for Secret. This drama is missing something big–an underdog to root for.
October 25th, 2013 at 1:46 am
The thing about this drama is that it focuses too much on the medical issues, I mean yeah, its a medical show, but it lacks story about the characters in it. And that feeling where you get attached to a drama, like in Good Doctor and Master’s Sun, and the heartwarming feeling, they need some of that. Although its a good drama. Just stating opinion that I think will help raising their ratings.
Boo. Heirs! I do watch it though. But its so BoysOverFlowers101, nothing new, everything’s predictable. And I thinks the ratings of it are mainly because of the actors, not because of the story. Just like I’m watching it because of Lee Min Ho, Kang Min Hyuk and Choi Jin Hyuk.
Mirae’s choice is a cute one. 🙂 I always watch Eun Hye’s dramas.
And ofcourse! SECRET is daebak!! It started a bit off. 1st impression is, “Oh, NiceGuy101” but, I got hooked, every after episode. And its getting more and more intense.
October 25th, 2013 at 7:36 am
@141 park heerin
I know you want to defend your idol minho drama so you always said that MTT portray realistic surgery. I’m not surgeon or expertise, so I can’t judge but some people in other forum said that this drama portray unrealistic surgery, so k-netizen doesn’t want to watch this drama.
I agree with sandy and tata about the storyline is bad. Whenever I watch some scene in this drama, I always compare that with some scene in Good Doctor with better storyline. For example, (1) this drama had scene past childhood memory of PTS, but I dont know why I can’t root for him than Shi-on who had bad past childhood memory too which have abusive father and his condition as disabled person. (2) when PTS give flower to SJY, I remember there’s scene shi-on give flower to cha yeon-seo which I think it’s funny scene because his behaviour and his talk way. And there’s many more.
October 25th, 2013 at 8:44 am
@jury i don’t need to defend much on minho since he’s acting is getting praise lately. and although this drama has low rating, critics will always say their (everybody) acting is good, the setting is good, the directing is good. the ost is good yet low rating. i know it is lacking with romance or some spices but this is how it is. you can’t expect a genuine medical drama if you always asking for those makjangs element. this is actually a good step by MBC to produce a type of drama that depicting a live surgical action. i remember some comment long ago that in korea, the medical drama is just them wearing only scrub suits and do romance. but in this new medical top team, they are more dealing with 50% success rate cases than those romance.
they are doing real surgery but like i said in soompi this drama is more fictional drama with overdramatizing scenes. squirting bloods everywhere is such an example of overdramatizing it. this is they said a Mission Impossible doctor version.
October 25th, 2013 at 9:01 am
@jury and to add, actually i rather see minho doing some sucking plot like TTBY than wearing scrubsuits yet acting like puppy lol but MTT helps to upgrade his skill which i thought is enough for me to support the drama. i could abandon MTT right away, but you cyou can’t easily forget each cast and crew’s contributions. the scriptwriting could have done better to suits ahjumma’s taste but that was their purpose. i can’t comment with the GD copying since i didn’t watch it but whatever i hope they do what they intended to and not because majority wants it.
October 25th, 2013 at 1:29 pm
i love this drama, same as “the Heirs”……
October 26th, 2013 at 1:44 am
All medical team members do very good job, very good drama
October 26th, 2013 at 6:38 pm
This drama has the best actors (mostly), but if the storyline is bad, there is not much to keep a person watch. There was nothing the least bit exciting that makes me want to keep watching. Actually, I forgot to watch this drama last week–forgot! I loved the first episode but hated the know it all female doctor. It then quickly lost appeal. It needs a better storyline. I’m not talking about romance, I’m talking about storyline.
October 27th, 2013 at 9:06 pm
Never like the actress so I won’t watch this one. The actor isn’t that bad for other dramas..I guess the last one was queen of Ambition in which I also haven’t watch. Good luck to all who watched this drama
October 28th, 2013 at 6:36 am
Boy, not sure who to believe about this drama. I do like medical dramas, but they can t be dry.
October 29th, 2013 at 6:18 am

October 31st, 2013 at 2:38 am
after finishing eps 6, i starting to hate PTS chara, idk why -_- I prefer HSJ than PTS. I can’t stand to watch PTS try to break all the rules or when he acts himself likes a hero. In Bawi’s case.. it’s okay I understand what he feel, but still what the…
now, my reason for watching is just for Minho and Joo Ji Hoon. glad to see Minho’s improvement. Minho oppa fighting! :]

October 31st, 2013 at 11:20 pm
I do enjoy watching this drama quite a lot actually. The stakes are high and the medical terms and surgeries make the drama more realistic than most medical dramas and much more stimulating to the brain hahaha. This drama definitely deserves more recognition and I hope their rating sees a massive leap. MTT cast and staff, fighting! ☺
November 1st, 2013 at 6:27 am
@158 fuemi
How do you know the medical terms and surgeries make the drama more realistic than most medical dramas ? Are you from medical prefession? Because someone said in this forum that this drama more fictional than reality, so don’t expected too much about realistical surgery,that’s why this drama not well receive in s.korea
November 1st, 2013 at 2:24 pm
why with the low rating? I love this drama. love all the cast and their acting skills and the story line too.. the heirs is also great… I love both of drama.. I prefer than good doctor.
November 1st, 2013 at 4:53 pm
@160 lovejdg………
yeeee I agree with u. I prefer this drama than good doctor. I watched that drama only couple eps. I discountinous. but this drama so touch in last eps
November 1st, 2013 at 8:48 pm
@161 k drama lover
Too bad you dropped Good Doctor, if you watched the entirely that series you can see that there are some scene in MTT copying Good Doctor. Btw I don’t like how jung ryowon’s character is written in here, I hope her character will develop next episode by new writer (I heard Screenwriter Yoon Kyung Ah will replaced because of bad rating and some comments which related with unrealistical surgery)
November 3rd, 2013 at 4:58 pm
Yea, well I have never seen magenta blood till this drama. I guess changing the writer midstream makes sense, because the dialogue is pretty lack lustre. Even the banter amongst the senior citizen’s at the local bowls club has more life.
November 5th, 2013 at 7:48 am
i love this drama very much. this is my priority to watch
November 6th, 2013 at 9:04 pm
I keep reading others saying this drama is more medical realistic than other medical dramas and that the ratings are low because it’s competing against Heirs and Secrets. Please face reality, the ratings are low for this drama because it sucks, it’s poorly written, and the characters are lacking–not the actors because they have a good cast, but their characters are poorly written.
I began watching this drama and immediately I was hooked with the first episode. The next episode lost me. I didn’t like the main female lead–awful personality. Didn’t like the whole premise for “top” team. I hung in there for 4 episodes before I dropped it. THEN I began watching Secrets.
Also, for those who didn’t like Good Doctor, I’m sorry because that drama was a real treat. I hope the lead actor wins best actor because he never lost character. Also, I thought they did a good job in describing medical procedures. AND best of all it had what every good drama needs, someone or something to cheer for.
This drama is blah. That’s why the ratings are low. This drama forced me to watch Secret because it wasn’t good–I had no intentions to watch Secrets until all the episodes were loaded. I’m thrilled that they are bringing in a new writer. I hope they develop the main female lead character more because she is unappealing–and she’s one of my favorite actors.
November 7th, 2013 at 10:51 am
@165 Iclaraki
I absolutely agree with you, this drama will not keep getting better because I heard they will not replace the screenwriter and the rating still keep down (rating ep 9 = 4,4%)
I also agree I didn’t like the main female lead–awful personality in MTT, I also didn’t like the female lead in Brain. I think the writers didn’t know how to write female character or maybe jung ryowon can’t bring live this character.
November 8th, 2013 at 2:09 am
Actually …I am korea drama crazy. i watched almost all of korea drama because of those are reall great. But i not watch MTT(this drama) yet.i think it will be bore and sleepy.I watch Heirs that is noo too bad. I really wanna see Secret because their rating is amazing.

“Secret Love” Continues Winning Run atop TV Chart
Unfortunately, MBC’s drama “Medical Top Team” kept its bottom position after drawing in only 4.1 percent of viewers, its lowest figure ever since it started air a month ago.
TV professionals analyzed several reasons for this slump but the main factor seemed to be in its loose storylines which failed to evoke interest from viewers.
http://www.tenasia.com/archives/75186
Agree with this comment, MTT has loose storylines. It will be better if the writer is replaced
November 10th, 2013 at 2:15 am
I nearly lost interest in this drama but i kept it in my download list..
I watched ep 9 & 10 today, and i feel it’s starting to get better.. Though i still trying to understand SJY & PTS character..
I really hate politics in hospital because it concerns life and death.. i still remember drama ‘Golden Time’ when all the doctors arguing which doctor should do the surgery, leaving the patient in the surgery room..
November 11th, 2013 at 11:52 am
Am only at ep 5 but t’s beginning to bore me.
November 11th, 2013 at 8:23 pm
i really love the drama. i am not here for actors-lover purposes i just watch it bcoz the title catch my eyes
and there was a very strict and reality kind of drama happened nowadays. it did happen surround the doctors life (since im a doctor-to be ) which a patient should come first ! another one is i love the plot how the love is going to blossom between the doctors. anyhow, i like to see dr park with choi ahn jin and chief han with dr su ju yeong ( i guess only me that like these two couples match , hehe )
November 12th, 2013 at 12:48 am
I believe that wrtiting a medical drama need to have a great inellect for it has to convincing. I just admire how they put the medical scenes realistically. It’s nice to see Joo Ji Hoon once again and he is getting good as an actor. I like to see him again in another romance/comedy drama
November 13th, 2013 at 12:23 am
Wow, I guess I didn’t miss much when I decided to ‘take a break’ from MTT after watching the first ep. I guess they want to portray PTS similar to Dr. House (the series House) as being the best of the best doctors and always breaks the rule by doing whatever he wants. Maybe?
Anyway, don’t know abt the medical terms being used in this drama whether it is believable/realistic or fictional but, if you use the terms confidently and convincingly, who can argue whether the terms really exist or not (doctors and doctors to be are exempted coz they’ll know for sure). Guess the actors and actresses has a heavy burden to bear.

MTT would be the best which is my 1st choice to watch. I watch Heirs because of the stars, however this drama with no good contents.
November 19th, 2013 at 2:04 am
The rating is low because they didn’t meet viewers interest .I think
November 20th, 2013 at 12:13 am
MTT has low rating because it scares away ahjummas with surgical scenes. You noticed they lessen those scenes in later episodes and because it’s medical drama it has little romance with heavy politics inside hospital.

I agree with most of their comments that this drama is boring, I think the writer doesn’t know what he/she will write story because the story doesn’t tight with their previous episode.look at the last episode,it seems they want to change otp romance
November 27th, 2013 at 2:53 pm
It;s unfortunate I like the actors but the script isn’t fast paced like Good Doctor and it tends to drag at times.
November 28th, 2013 at 8:06 pm
not every viewers interested in medical dramas because maybe they have different kinds of living.but for those around the circle of medicine it was so wonderful and im one of them.

November 30th, 2013 at 7:04 pm
I like medical drama and i like the cast especially KSW, Minho and Yeon Seo. But this drama is a bit boring as compare to medical drama like Brain, strong heart and golden time. Good doctor is ok only to my aspect but medical top team cant even reach the standard of ok.
I still continue to support this drama because of KSW, if not for him, i probably drop this drama halfway
December 1st, 2013 at 6:18 am
This is a great serious drama and if people are disappointed it lacks romance, it is misunderstood. Romance is only tangential to this drama. Although I rooting for Prof. Seo and Dr Park, only because they have similar care for the patients.
Nice pace drama, and interesting office and organizational politics. I don’t think it is overdone, because it does exist as you go higher in the career ladder. I hate the Head of Thoracic department guy, however cannot deny the practicality of his approach and strategy for personal survival amidst the power struggle. Some of his wisecracks to his nephew, and subordinate are humorous.
December 1st, 2013 at 1:15 pm
@pickyKDfan I agree with you that for medical drama, romance is not the factor. I think most viewers are disappointed because of the weak storyline for medical drama.
Anyone who see golden time, will know there is no romance in that drama and even the medical scenes are scarier if people are saying ahjuma don’t like medical scene. When I see how the doctor handle trauma patients, I wish I was never knock down by a car as the way how they handle and save the patients really leave a deep impression in viewers. That is why the ratings are good as the storyline is strong.
For those who like hospital politics, brain is the drama you go for and for those who like a bit of romance, then go for strong heart.
I am sorry to say MTT has neither of the above. The only strong point for MTT is that it have stars like KSW and Minho as I myself was quite impress by shinee comeback this year.

When I started to watch this drama I taught it would be very good. But now I am watching Ep 11 and It has become really boring. The main idea and the cast are very good but they didnt make it good. The story is boring and there is not anything special to wait for it to happen. The Heirs is much better . The story and and the cast are really interesting and they are making it very good . At least you are waiting and wanting to know what will happen . But in this drama it is not good.

@jawa timur
LOL. It’s okay you’re just commenting, I know you didn’t bash, but still… this drama doesn’t have to do with SME. Honestly I feel a little hurt. However Minho shows some improvement in this drama. And… did y forget that Krystal from SME too and her drama (The Heirs) rating’s high? kkk.
SME artists aren’t the main point of a drama. So if you think SME artists always drop the ratings… it’s a lil bit narrow minded. No offense.
I’m so sorry dear, I’m just saying.
@Marzieh Elf
Yeah me too. Totally agree with you. I admit that this drama is boring. If it wasn’t for Minho and JJH maybe I can’t continue watching.
But if you says The Heirs is very good… ngg… then you should watch Reply 1994. That drama is totally rock and mind blowing~ After watching R94 I can’t find Heirs as interesting as before.

why all medical drama are in operatin room?
December 12th, 2013 at 6:33 am
@sahel
geureoge… maybe operation room is a place where we could find the tension and the doctor shows their skills thru operation. maybe…
December 12th, 2013 at 11:40 am
@maknaee & @ sahel
or maybe the team production only try to max set drama. because i heard that set for this drama is the biggest for medical drama.

the resident doctor Choi is very inattractive , character , trying to be cute in
boring , annoying way .
the character Prof Seo is more attractive one .
all casts acting skill are good , except actress as resident Choi ,

really? what a pity it turns out to be a flop with its biggest set. /sigh/

I donot care about the ratings but I enjoy watching this drama. As a caregiver I learned a lot from watching this. Above all I like Joo ji hoon. As for me he is the best among the stars here. Grace, facial expression , portraying diff. Emotions he is the best. ,

I dropped this drama mainly because I feel the writer missed the opportunity to tell a great yarn, had he made the focus of the story around the doctor and the patients of the free clinic. Their struggles and their very real sacrifices. And also for the cinematographer and casting to exploit a different kind of eye-candy, the genuine beauties of South Korea without the glitter. You know the ones with no plastic enhancements…kekekeh.
But what the writer did instead, was give us something akin to watching customers getting served at a supermarket checkout — boring. Oh yeah, there’s the obligatory drama between administrative personnel and the medical professionals — whoopie do. I don’t call it drama. I’d call it friction. Again boring.

Ahm Nae Sang, I really do not like him. He plays a sleaze bag in this drama series
December 14th, 2013 at 1:03 pm
medical top team should be like House MD team. that would be interesting
December 16th, 2013 at 2:18 am
I like this drama. Even tough there are a lot of procedures, there are also a lot of complicated twists and turns for all the characters which allows them to all get some good acting done.
December 16th, 2013 at 2:22 am
People have no taste. They light the fluff in a lot of cutesy dramas with the same themes but this drama they are not interested in. It depicts the politics in a major hospital where, as in all corporations, there is still a struggle for power even tough it is supposed to be about healing the sick.
December 27th, 2013 at 8:18 pm
Finally, joo ji hoon is back in this new korean drama! His drama, princess hours, is currently on replay (again!) here in the philippines so I was surprised to find out that he is now back into acting. I hope that this will be a new start for him to bring back his potential as an actor. ^^

I love the casts especially dr.Han and dr. Seo… but i think the story is really bored 🙁
January 13th, 2014 at 3:55 pm
I love this drama.
It is another good medical drama which portrayed various conflicts happened in the hospital.
Love the casts especially dr. Park, dr. Han and dr. Seo … were really natural in rolling their characters …
@lee hye ae … Jo Ji Hoon’s previous drama series were : Five Fingers, The Devil , and he played also in 4 movie before this drama.
The hospital set looks elegant; I think medical specialists deserved to have that kinds of office room facilities and working/medical facilities, to relieve stressful feeling after doing the operation / medical surgery.

Love love love it so much. One of the best!!!!
January 17th, 2014 at 3:01 pm
Definitely worst drama 2013
January 20th, 2014 at 2:04 am
Not my cup of tea, I only watched this until 16 episode, I feel bored and I think this will have bad ending. I read the ending at another drama forum and my think came true dr. Park not ended up with dr. Seo :'(
February 5th, 2014 at 2:24 am
I think this drama one of the best , i don’t know why the rating is very low? i enjoy watching it.
April 20th, 2014 at 2:01 pm
I just watched it.
At the beginning, I think it’ll be good drama, but………………..
overall, I’m very very disappointed with this drama.
Because the story is not consistent and concentrated.
First drama I’d watched the lead male not end up with the lead female.
I think it’s fair that the drama’s rating is very very low and lose from Secret and The Heirs, yeahh because the inconsistency of the story, particularly about the romance.
I can’t say anything more to reveal my disappointment.

Not suitable with expectation…**** this drama
April 30th, 2014 at 2:30 am
actually, it quite good for me. even though the ending is not the same that i had expected, it’s still good. everyone happy at the ending. maybe because this drama came out with famous drama such as the heirs and others, we cannot compare them. i love this drama n this drama is one of drama that i had watched until the end. i didn’t watched the heirs until the end because i can expect the ending of drama. so, good job for this drama! ~malaysian
May 2nd, 2014 at 6:11 pm
To be truthful,i really really liked this series,better than the heirs..i didnt even watch the first episode of the heirs that i got bored..there r many series with the same kind of story so its easy to figure out how the story goes…n i really liked the fact that Taeshin ended up wit Ahjin..u dont get ths kind of endin vry often.,2b short I LovedTHE MOVIE ATLOT
June 28th, 2014 at 11:46 pm
I enjoyed watching this drama seriously. I really like the chemistry between the team especially my OTP (Dr. Park and resident Choi). The actors did a great job.

This drama started out good for the first couple of episodes but went off a cliff after that. It became so extremely illogical and the storyline just sucked. It was so bad for me that I would forget to watch it. Finally I just dropped it.
