Saidu Jatau Dec 22 2022 5:23 am Though i haven't start watching the movie but base on what others says about it am pretty sure is go nah make sense.....

Park Min Dec 16 2022 12:37 pm Weak start, weak ending, decent middle part. I never wanted a protagonist to turn into an antagonist more than the lead of this drama Park Tae Soo. The only interesting part was the middle one where they had to make a decision, the rest is weak throughout and very similar to any other medical drama. Overall, it's an okay medical drama 6/10.

Yoongi Jul 17 2022 10:03 am One of the best medical dramas.

Jeff Mar 25 2022 8:31 am Is naming one of the doctors Ahn Ji Na a joke? (Angina is a type of chest pain, caused by an inadequate blood supply to the heart.)

Lau Jan 23 2022 9:15 am I love Dr Tae Soo friend he really cared to the Mom and the Father and son doctor they are funny hahhaha

bananana6214 Oct 17 2020 9:17 pm I love Dr. koo dong joon and his father.. They are funny?

Koreandrama123 Sep 14 2020 5:48 pm I currently watching untill episode 11. Overall this a great medical drama that I watched since RDTK 1. Never dissapointed about SBS's medical drama??

Ejart Apr 26 2020 2:11 am Just finished this drama..the best medical drama i have seen..its so realistic..but if you’re looking for romantic scene..aniyo..but its disappointed about the rating..this drama should have a better rating..overall..superb..

Kdrama_jjang Dec 10 2019 6:55 am This is one of the best Medical drama ever! I like the how they sequences the every stories/episodes. I really the actors and actors. I really love the second roles. I totally into this drama. I'm waiting for season 2. I badly need season 2 of this ??

uwu Aug 31 2019 8:05 am The best medical drama ever!!

Kamre Jul 12 2019 4:21 pm I loved this drama it should have a 2nd season. But I SO shipped wrong ? Choi Seok x Yoon Soo even tho is not her fault... Aishhh

Picassoboii Apr 03 2019 11:00 am Good drama . Don’t have romance scene but this realy good.

badiya dz Dec 31 2018 11:25 am am sad that ka soo won nothing in the awards :'( his role was heart-touching

uwgnoesgno Nov 23 2018 7:26 pm Woaahh really love Dr. Moon Seungjae in this drama <3

Migthy Thor Nov 19 2018 6:15 am To all fans who love the medical dramas of Korea, This one is a no-brainer medical drama. So do NOT stress out yourself. Just take is easy and relax . . .

Yelli Nov 17 2018 12:08 pm Really love this drama series.. the story plot really good the actors and actress really good in play there are some comedy scene too this is not a boring drama recommended to be watched!!!

Antique Nov 17 2018 8:46 am I'm so dissapointed with prof. Choi ? why you change like that.

LIYANA Nov 16 2018 6:16 pm Omg...this is my first time watching medical drama without skipping any episode...no love story, no kissing,...which is i really like it because i can watch it with my kids....good drama, good cast, and good production team... ??

Julia Nov 15 2018 9:44 pm The best medical drama, can't stop watching till the end.

Migthy Thor Nov 15 2018 8:20 pm So today this drama Heart Surgeons has come to an end. It finally concluded this FANTASY, medical drama to an ending way beyond reason, logic and reality. I highly recommend this drama for entertainment, relaxation and passing time because this drama is very idealistic that it can only happen in dreams and wonderland. So don't stress out with your brain when you get to decide to watch this drama.

EELYNN Nov 15 2018 1:32 am the best medical drama I watch.. no love story, no melodrama but the unique about this stories make me fall in love is the story line full with surgery and the plot always make me curious each episode. excited waiting the last episode. hope the last episode didn't make me disappointed. really love their relationship between doctor and nurse staff.. recommended

humanbeing Nov 14 2018 11:24 pm One of the medical drama I watch...so far this is really good, doesn't have any boring scene, always make me curious..watch it bcoz of seo ji hye, all the best in the upcoming last episode today

xxx Nov 10 2018 1:52 am This is probably the best medical dramas of all time<3

kwonjiknown Oct 28 2018 8:00 am Is this drama have love story? hehe I ship tae soo and soo yeon so bad xxx

Tibong Oct 27 2018 8:49 am This is so heartbreaking drama T.T I cry a lot. Hope everyone will happy ending. So sad with Taesoo mother.

A Oct 25 2018 3:31 pm @claire: it because they try to find another hospital but all reply with full operating rooms or no doctor available (maybe because it's really full or they aware of the diagnose where his mother life percentage even after operation might be 5%. Then he learn about professor cho who agree to give a chance. But after things happened in early episode, he couldnt bring her to other place because of time.

@nafisa: every drama has their trope but this one is more into medical drama when the other also about love. I read news about the team want make this to be more medical drama and not melodrama, so if you want to enjoy the pace and thrill of medical drama(with surgery, and hospital system) then let's give this another try.

I will keep waiting to see how far this drama will go and wrapped in the end. So far it's good and with Uhm Kijoon and Gosoo, the acting run smoothly and the medical surgery is great and even the detail like washing hand and the position of washing hand and take ampoules meds and other utilities to ambulance resemble the daily life in hospital. The ratings looks good and fairly share with Terius. This is definitely a good show. I wish the director, scriptwriter, and cast will keep a good pace.

ROSALYN Oct 19 2018 12:40 pm Enjoying this kind of Kdrama..

ZZ Oct 19 2018 9:11 am I love this show. I love the whole medical team that always work with Dr Park amd Prof Choi, especially the anaesthetist, perfusionist(I hope to know their names they're really good actors) and nurse. Lee Jae won and Choi Daehoon are great supporting actors too they are so funny and lift the spirit, I can't help but to laugh after I almost cry in many scenes. Also, the script and medical scenes look pretty real, it gives me an insight of what surgeons and physicians do. Overall, great cast and production, it's so refreshing to watch a drama that focuses on the profession and not romance. I'm looking forward to see what happen after Dr Park runs away with the heart.

yuuun shojo Oct 18 2018 9:07 pm i think this about bromance..... but no huhuhu i ship goso & umh ki joon hahaha... disappointed

Migthy Thor Oct 18 2018 7:34 pm Episode 13-14 That was a tough decision to make for Dr. Choi Seok-Han. I am sure he really meant well and good but the odd is high! For Dr. Park Tae-Soo, that was really very sad. For Dr. An Ji-Na, let's see what she has to say when she finds out everything that happened then and now. While Dr. Yoon Hyun-Il rejoices, Dr. Koo Hee-Dong is troubled and Dr. Yoon Hyun-Mok - rest in peace. Dr. Ko Dong-Joon, Dr. Nam Woo-Jin, Dr. Moon Seung-Jae and Nurse Lee Sun-Young: it's great to have friends like you! Madam Oh Jung-Ae, you're a martyr!

Nochu Oct 01 2018 10:35 am i love these kind of drama

Nafisa Sep 30 2018 2:17 am at first i thought it's like romantic doctor teacher kim seeing ko soo's mother needs operation but no one is willing to then i thought it's like Blood seeing the female lead being a heiress and her arrogance then again i felt it's like Doctors crush watching the airoplane incident now I'M thinking it's like Doctor stranger seeing the transparent system tbh, I'M not watching this anymore..finding nothing new here

Ginger Crunch Sep 28 2018 5:02 pm Lapping this up and what a whirlwind start! Gosh Go Soo and Uhm Ki Joon have cemented their characters right from the get go of Episode 1. However it was rather a patient wait for our Seo Ji Hye to appear....I’m going to sit back and make no judgement calls on this because I want to be either pleasantly surprised or extremely annoyed. I’m hoping for the former. Watching HS for Kim Ye Won really but kinda confused as to why she has been relegated to supporting cast with no photo pix here when she was part of the press release and other promotions with the main leads? Fingers crossed that there is at least some kind of romance between GS and SJH - please?

Claire Sep 28 2018 4:17 pm I don't understand: why doesn't he take his mother to another hospital if no doctor will operate on her? Is there only one hospital in the country? Or he would rather his mom die than transfer her to another hospital?

Dreamhigh Sep 28 2018 8:00 am Uhm Ki-Joon, he was very good at Defendant, so excited to see him again how he will be------

NGS Sep 21 2018 11:34 pm kinda curious how they persuade Go Soo to make a comeback. with this drama. Well, welcome back Go Soo! for Uhm Ki Joon, He was in Defendant too with the director and writer also... Cant wait for Their collaboration again, since I love Defendant so much ! :D

nandar Sep 17 2018 9:18 am In Uhm Ki-Joon I trust. And exited for Ko Soo's comeback and Seo Ji Hae's lead role.

Yelli Sep 13 2018 9:03 pm why Ji Sung oppa not taking this series? T.T

Korean movie addistion Sep 11 2018 5:19 pm (Uhm Ki Joon) He matched the evil role, ( Seo Ji Hye) her face looked poisonous

Ginger Crunch Sep 08 2018 9:07 am This looks promising so worth a shot.

Ninfialoves Aug 15 2018 10:40 am Oh yeah finally Seo Ji hye as a female lead, I really love her acting in Black knight, she is the best villain ever. I can’t wait to watch this drama

Day chi Jul 25 2018 1:44 am I will wait for her drama ❤️ She so cute and I love her??

UKJ #1 Jul 05 2018 10:26 am So excited for this! Uhm Ki Joon's comeback drama and it's with the award-winning Defendant team! Daebak!

sera Jun 29 2018 8:42 pm I really liked Defendant.. so I think I will enjoy this one too.

Hary Johanes Jun 29 2018 6:15 am HAN HYO JOO & KO SOO perfect couple, they both working in movie LOVE 911/ Bandage 911, and they both great acting great..please PDnim

syskachan Jun 14 2018 12:09 pm ko soo oppa !! kyaaa~ can't wait

Dilu Jun 14 2018 1:46 am Hope to see a drama come back of either Kim Tae-hee after child birth. If not, Lee Min-jung, Han Chae-young, Im Soo-jung any of them should be great with this role.
