Dr. Champ (2010)

A very nice drama brought to life by very great actors

An old drama, but with HD images.

BONUSES:
- a solid and very well written story, skilfully mixing romance, sport, medicine.
- a quick realization (and even a little too much on the last episode, which I would have liked more developed),
- only GREAT actors!! They literally carry on all the series...
- the very endearing members of the Team, with a nice development on friendship.
- not memorable but enjoyable OSTs.

LIMITS :
- some actors are not very credible as athletes (plump judoka, swimmer girl, etc.)
- issues in sport always somewhat the same: rivalries, atmosphere in the team, injuries, ways to win, etc.

This drama leads me to ask myself once again the question: the tendency of Koreans to guilt and self guilt (recurring in dramas), is it cultural? To add drama?
When an accident happens, why blame everyone?
The other driver / the person at the start of the trip / the person you wanted to join / etc. Why should the family at this moment, allways accuse someone in charge???

In conclusion, a very nice drama brought to life by very great actors.

Un drama ancien, mais avec des images en HD.

LES BONUS :
- une histoire solide et très bien écrite, mêlant habilement romance, sport, médecine.
- une réalisation rapide (et même un peu trop sur le dernier épisode, que j'aurai aimé plus développé),
- que de GRANDS acteurs !! Ils portent littéralement la série...
- les membres de la Team très attachants, avec un beau développement sur l'amitié.
- des OST pas mémorables mais agréables.

LES LIMITES :
- certains acteurs ne sont pas très crédibles en sportifs (judoka dodu, nageuse, etc.)
- difficultés dans le sport toujours un peu les mêmes : rivalités, ambiance dans l'équipe, blessures, moyens pour gagner, etc.

Ce drama m'amène à me poser encore une fois la question : la tendance des coréens à la culpabilité et à la culpabilisation (récurrente dans les dramas), est-ce culturel ? Pour ajouter du drame ?
Quand un accident se produit, pourquoi accuser tout le monde ?
L'autre conducteur / la personne au départ du trajet / la personne qu'on voulait rejoindre / etc. Pourquoi la famille doit-elle dans l'instant, accuser un responsable ???

En conclusion, un très joli drama mis en vie par de très grands acteurs.

Though there was nothing special to the plot; I liked the light and not complicated almost-love triangle. There were no villains and everyone had their own faults. I loved that human portrayal.

Uhm Tae Woong's acting shone through. I admit having Queen Seon Duk's syndrome -where I fell for everyone there; literally- so I started this already in love with him. His self-centred personality and weird sense of humour were so adorable. I liked his dark side that doesn't reflect on his humanity. The way he taught Kim Yeon Woo was so enjoyable to watch. That killing smirk got me gaga!

Park Ji Heon's character was so cute. I'd avoid it though. This kind of guys is burdensome and demanding.. only cute to watch from afar.

I loved Kim Soo Yeon.. well i'm biased so! i loved how she never hesitated to express what she thinks and stands her ground. and i loved how nothing stopped her from what she believes right.

The reason why I pushed this drama up was writing a stalker's guide on Kang So Ra. She didn't have much to give here but she was cute in the few minutes she'd appear every episode.

There were so many shirtless scenes -due to the fact that they are athletes- and my eyes were so happy!

The drama tackled so many medical and sport related cases. Though they were so beneficial for an ignorant like me, I felt that many were forced. They were so touching anyhow.

Sang Bong's character was the best thing about the drama. I cried buckets because of him.

The patriotic emphasis on being a ''Korean representative'' was evident.

The emphasis on the Korean pork they were promoting was so obvious i kept laughing -side effects of watching so many dramas; especially King of Dramas-

The cruel and twisted fate of Park Ji Heo and Yoo Sang Bong was so moving -and kept reminding me of School 2013-

The music was cute but repetitive.. i loved the osts.

I was not expected it to be so much fun.. I didn't get bored for a second.
