  • June 8, 2010

Medical Brothers follows the story of two brothers who work as doctors at a hospital in Seoul, South Korea. In the first episode titled "Medical Brothers 1," viewers are introduced to the younger brother, Han Jun-kyu (played by actor Ji Chang-wook), who is an outstanding surgeon but often clashes with his colleagues due to his arrogant and independent personality.

Jun-kyu's older brother, Han Yun-kyu (played by actor Song Joong-ki), is also a doctor at the hospital and is the opposite of Jun-kyu in terms of personality. Yun-kyu is well-liked by his colleagues and patients for his compassionate and gentle nature. Despite their differences, the two brothers share a close bond and often support each other through their personal and professional struggles.

The episode starts with Jun-kyu performing a risky surgery on a patient, which he successfully completes with flying colors. However, his arrogant behavior and disregard for hospital protocol lands him in trouble with the head of the hospital, a stern and no-nonsense woman named Lee Soo-jung (played by actress Moon Chae-won).

Meanwhile, Yun-kyu is dealing with his own personal struggle as he tries to come to terms with his recent divorce. He confides in his brother about his feelings of loneliness and regret, showing a vulnerable side that is rarely seen from him.

The hospital is also facing financial troubles, which puts pressure on the doctors to perform well and bring in more revenue. Jun-kyu comes up with an innovative idea to attract wealthy patients to the hospital, but his unorthodox methods once again rub some of his colleagues the wrong way.

Throughout the episode, viewers are introduced to other members of the hospital staff, including a compassionate nurse named Park Eun-ha (played by actress Shin Se-kyung) and a skilled neurosurgeon named Min Ji-eun (played by actress Jang Mi-hee).

As the episode comes to a close, Jun-kyu finds himself in even more trouble with hospital management after taking matters into his own hands to save a patient's life. Yun-kyu is there to support his brother, but it remains to be seen how their personal and professional lives will continue to intersect in the high-pressure environment of the hospital.

Overall, "Medical Brothers 1" delivers a dramatic and engaging introduction to the world of these two doctors and the challenges they face in their personal and professional lives. With a strong cast and intriguing storyline, this episode sets the stage for a promising series that is sure to captivate viewers.
