White Tower on AZN first episode tonight!







White Tower starting on AZN tonight!

So I realized the third time showing "Kim Sam Soon" a fave of mine on AZN ended last night. Today they are starting with "White Tower" a hospital drama based on a Japanese drama and there was a Taiwanese version of it too. It is done by MBC and supposed to be 20 episodes and just ended this past winter in Korea.

I am curious if this is good or not. I just dislike watching the episodes piece meal and having to be home to watch it. (Yeah no TIVO or vcr for that matter. )

drama blurb:

White Tower is a Korean drama series about two doctors who have contrasting personalities. Jang Joon Hyeok, a genius surgeon who is overly ambitious and will do anything to climb his way up the corporate ladder. The other, Choi Do Young, is a physician and is a kind and upright person who strongly holds onto his beliefs. The plot will reveal the power and emotional struggles within the white tower itself.

JUMONG (Korean Drama)
*just watched episode 40 out of 81 for Jumong. Prince Jumong had to say farewell to Lady Sosuhno of the Keru clan and was asked by Prince Taeso (Temporary ruler for King Gumhwa of Puyo) to go to Chang An to be the "hostage". I was heartbroken he had Mol Palmo make a steel sword for Taeso. (After all the beating he had undertaken NOT to help out Taeso.). 송일국 rocks!
