Behind the White Tower

Based On the book by Toyoko Yamasaki

Behind the White Tower (Korean: 하얀 거탑; RR: Hayan geotap; lit. White Tower) is a 2007 South Korean television series that aired on MBC from January 6 to March 11, 2007, on Saturdays and Sundays at 21:40 for 20 episodes. Based on renowned Japanese novelist Toyoko Yamasaki's representative work Shiroi Kyotō, the drama brings viewers deep into the political inner workings of the medical field by taking a satirical look at malpractice and power plays at a university hospital, and contrasting the paths and personalities of two doctors played by Kim Myung-min and Lee Sun-kyun. The medical drama was a critical and ratings hit in South Korea, gaining praise for its acting (particularly by Kim), writing, direction, and its intelligent and uncompromising story without concessions to melodrama or romance.
