Ha Ji-won will play surgeon Song Eun-jae, a no-nonsense type who has been the breadwinner for her family since she was young. She is described as “beautiful but cold” and has a hard time empathizing with people, and dealing with emotions in general. Sounds like the various encounters with the islands’ residents is just the thing she needs to tap into her warmer side. Or maybe it’ll be her fellow doctor Kwak Hyun, played by Kang Min-hyuk, who opens her up with his “warm spirit” and superb empathetic abilities. Of course the physician’s her diametric opposite; it’s like a law in dramaland.
They’ll be joined aboard the Hospital Ship by Kim Jae-gyul, a doctor of Oriental medicine played by Lee Seo-won (The Liar and His Lover), and Cha Joon-young, a dentist who will be portrayed by theater actor Kim In-shik. Girl group AOA’s Minah rounds out the cast as the bright nurse Yoo Ah-rim.
The newest teaser for Hospital Ship begins in the operating room with Ha Ji-won’s character, Song Eun-jae, a surgeon whose skill attracts the attention of more senior surgeons, for better or worse. She fits the “cold, no-nonsense” descriptors to a tee as she commands her assisting doctor to hold the vein she’s pointing to.
Due to an incident that results in her public ruination, she ends up aboard the hospital ship, which doesn’t have any of the fancy medical instruments she’s used to: “This ship doesn’t have even the most basic of surgical equipment. What am I supposed to do here?” Thankfully, it looks like she adjusts to her surroundings enough to carry out a surgery while Kang Min-hyuk’s character looks on in worry.
While medical dramas tend to be pretty procedural, I’m excited to see that Hospital Ship’s focus might focus more on character development, specifically on Ha Ji-won’s. While she might complain at the lack of equipment, and even get threatened by islanders, she’ll come to perform operations outdoors and fight to treat potential patients: “You choose. Whether you’ll leave this patient to die, or if you’ll leave them in my care!” The teaser ends with the words “The young doctors desperately playing the game of survival.”
