Not the image you’d associate with a medical drama, is it? Never fear, since there’s plenty of high-stakes doctoring to go around in MBC’s Medical Top Team, which premiered earlier this week against Heirs and ratings winner Secret, which is already in its third week. (I know!)
The first half is a bit wonky, but when the show isn’t too busy touting its brilliance for coming up with the idea (of putting more than one genius doctor in the same room as other genius doctors), it manages to be an interesting if not blood-splattered character study that’s not quite as formulaic as the title.
Helmed by the PD of The Moon That Embraces the Sun and the writer of Brain, there’s no doubt that we’re at least getting a technically proficient drama, though I admit to knowing very little about medical dramas as a genre since I’m not usually part of the audience which enjoys them. That being said, there’s enough here to keep me watching for a few more episodes (though not recapping), surprisingly enough. I just have to resist the urge to mentally place this entire cast in literally any other genre… Buuut, while we’re playing fantasy dramaball with this cast, wouldn’t Jung Ryeo-won be fun in sageuk?
