New Heart (DVD) (End) (English Subtitled) (MBC TV Drama) (US Version) DVD Region 1, 4

Medical dramas continue to thrive on small screens, striking gold in the ratings war. Driven by an effective formula already proven successful in earlier hits like The Great White Tower and Surgeon Bong Dal Hee, New Heart entails a coming-of-age story centering on the public and private lives of four cardiac surgeons. During its broadcast in Korea, the drama garnered much attention and media coverage with each of its episode's highlights making the next day's headlines. While providing a wealth of medical knowledge and insights into the working lives of doctors, New Heart also digs into the grimmer side of the profession, touching on subjects like the fierce competition among peers and the ongoing problems of fraud and abuse in the healthcare system. Adding a dash of humanity and warmth into his character, Ji Sung (Save Your Last Dance For Me), in his first drama after returning from military service, plays Eun Sung, a charming first-year resident with a heart of gold. Temperature creeps up in the chilly operating room as Kim Min Jung (Stranger Than Paradise), who plays a perky, gung-ho resident, heats up the three-way romance with Ji Sung and Lee Ji Hoon (Billy Jean Look at Me). Taking the drama's finesse up a notch is Cho Jae Hyun (Piano) who delivers a stellar performance. Cho portrays a chief surgeon with no-nonsense mannerism and ingenious expertise who becomes the first doctor in the nation to perform a successful heart transplant.

The newly appointed director of Kwang Hee University Hospital, Jae Hyun tries to dissuade his secret daughter Hye Seok (Kim Min Jung) from pursuing her career as a cardiac surgeon, while keeping her relation to him under wraps. Meanwhile, Kang Kook (Cho Jae Hyun), a maverick medical genius recently demoted to a second-tier hospital, gets involves in a nasty brawl and injures a man. Quickly checking into a nearby emergency room, Kang Kook starts treating the man and Eun Sung (Ji Sung), an intern who witnesses Kang Kook's brilliance in action, decides to follow in the footsteps of the master. Soon after, Kang Kook is asked to head the cardiology department of Kwang Hee University Hospital. The job entails many headaches for the straight-arrow surgeon - one being his decision to deny residency to two applicants: Eun Sung and Hye Seok. After a few struggles, Kang Kook caves in and accepts them as junior registrars, but watches their every move like a hawk.

- 꽃 중의 꽃이라 불리는 의학 분야가 있다. 바로 흉부외과.

의학의 꽃이라 불리는 외과중에서도 가장 위험하고 힘이 들기 때문에 꽃 중의 꽃이라고 하는데 그런 흉부외과가 의료계에서 외면당하도 있는 게 지금의 슬프고도 엄연한 현실이다. 늘 응급상황이 기다리고 있고, 의료사고에는 가장 많이 노출되어 있을 뿐 아니라 30분짜리 의사 혼자서 하는 쌍꺼풀 수술과 대 여섯명의 의사가 들러붙어 열 시간을 넘게 해야하는 심장수술의 수술비는 비슷하기 때문이다. 게다가 개업도 불가능한 흉부외과기에 이를 전공하고자 지원하는 레지전트가 없어 대가 끊기는 대학병원도 부지기수다. 이런 현상은 소위 명문 의과대학병원이라도 다를바 없는 이른바 의학계의 3D 업종인 것이다. 이런 현실로 인해 조만간 돈 있는 사람들은 외국에 나가 심장, 폐 수술을 받아야하며 돈이 없는 서민들은 제 3국에서 수입된 필리핀 의사, 태국 의사등에게 수술을 받아야 할 때가 올지도 모른다고 의료계에선 경고하고 있다. 그래도 이 상황 하에서 꽃 중의 꽃을 싹 틔우는 이들이 있다. 생과 사의 갈림길에선 환자들과 함께 피와 눈물을 쏟는, 그들의 소생에 감격해하며 기뻐할 줄 아는 그런 의사들이 있다.

- 현실의 벽이 어떻든 간에, 히포트라테스의 선서를 늘 되새기며 생명의 고귀함을 이뤄내는 그들을 그리고 싶다.

그들의 눈물을... 그들의 기쁨을... 그들의 고뇌를... 그리고 고마움을 전하고 싶다. 그런 그들이 있어 생명이 소중하다는 걸 다시 깨닫게 된다고.. 결코 혼자 이 세상을 살아가고 있는 것이 아니란 걸 깨닫게 해줘서 고맙다고... 그들이 있어줘서 고맙다고...
