It was not so long ago when I started watching Korean drama. Also, it was not so long ago when I started fangirling over So Nyuh Shi Dae (Girls Generation). And it was also not so long ago when I became aware of the effects of eastern and western medicine.

Korea's tvN started airing The Third Hospital (제3병원) last September 5, 2012. The story revolves around the conceptions of eastern and western medicine. Each practice is represented by a doctor: Kim Doo-hyun (played by Kim Seung-woo), a neurosurgeon and Kim Seung-hyun (played by Oh Ji-ho) an acupuncturist. These two are not just specialists on western and eastern medicine respectively, but they are also brothers who have gone separate ways.

Now how does SNSD relate to this drama? SNSD's Soo Young appears in this series as Lee Euijin, a violist, who is madly in love with her childhood friend, Seung-hyun. She opted to stay at Seung-hyun's place when she came back from Germany to audition for the Asia orchestra. With her is Jin Hye-in, which is played by Kim Min-jung, a doctor who is practicing neurosurgery with Doo-hyun but has an eye for eastern medicine since her father is an eastern doctor.
Personally, I am very much excited to watch this series, not just because Soo Young is there, but I would also like to learn about the whereabouts of the different medical traditions. Hopefully, I can create a review of each episode.. errmm, I'll just keep my fingers crossed!
