Hospital Ship (병원선 / Byungwonsun)

(Nothing is more emotional than saving lives.)

(Young doctors on a journey to become real and true doctors)

Hello, I'm Kim Il Joong.

I'm on Geoje Island that borders...

the beautiful blue sea.

What first comes to mind when you think of Geoje Island?

A shipbuilding port? That's right.

But the scenery is too great for the place...

to be remembered just as a shipbuilding port.

This island has been quite busy this summer...

since some great actors arrived.

I'm talking about Hospital Ship, a drama at the center...

of attention even before it aired.

Everyone is talking about the drama.

I'll tell you and show you all you need to know.

(An exciting voyage: On Board the Hospital Ship)

The first reason why it's the talk of the town.

It's Ha Ji Won who is known to be talented.

Talented Ha Ji Won makes her comeback on Hospital Ship.

Hello. On miniseries called Hospital Ship,

I play the role of Song Eun Jae. I'm Ha Ji Won.

It's good to see you.

After two years, she plays a doctor.

Grab it and keep going now.

It burst. Let's transport the patient.

- Mother. - Song Eun Jae, a genius surgeon,

gets on a hospital ship after twists and turns.

Her character transforms into a new person.

Action.

What are you doing?

I play Song Eun Jae.

She's about to become the youngest female managing doctor in surgery.

An event takes place,

and she gets on a hospital ship.

She seems cold-hearted, objective, and unfriendly.

As she meets people on the hospital ship,

she starts to change and her character develops.

The viewers will be able to see those aspects.

She's a genius doctor who is single.

Please stay tuned to watch the change and growth of...

Song Eun Jae on the hospital ship.

("We must stay alert because we're dealing with people.")

Another character to lead the hospital ship with Ha Ji Won.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Kwak Hyun, an internal medicine doctor.

A public health doctor decides to work at the hospital ship.

Unlike Song Eun Jae, Kwak Hyun laughs and cries often.

Hello. On miniseries called Hospital Ship,

I play Kwak Hyun. I'm Kang Min Hyuk.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...

Don't worry.

You have to run this way.

My character isn't as talented as Song Eun Jae.

However, I'm a doctor...

whom many patients depend on.

As a doctor with a warm heart,

I plan to go aboard on Hospital Ship.

Kwak Hyun is a sympathetic doctor.

Stay tuned to watch moving stories that unfold...

as he interacts with his patients.

(Look forward to Kwak Hyun's sweet stories on Hospital Ship.)

Kim Jae Geol seems perfect in every way,

but he has a painful story that no one knows.

Hello. On miniseries called Hospital Ship,

I play Kim Jae Geol. I'm Lee Seo Won.

In such lowly hospital ship...

with poor facilities.

You're getting ahead of yourself.

We've been lucky so far,

but people will start to die on the ship.

I play Kim Jae Geol...

who is the only doctor...

in charge of Korean medicine on the ship.

You can't treat liver cirrhosis on the hospital ship.

What are you doing?

He has a painful history and hatred toward his father.

He detests western medicine, but at the same time,

he's envious of doctors in western medicine.

That's the character I play.

The patient doesn't want treatment based on the cause.

Stop the treatment now.

That's complete nonsense.

My hashtag is "You only live once".

I'm a doctor in Korean medicine.

It has various meanings.

Cha Joon Young is a humorous dentist on the hospital ship.

Hello. On miniseries called Hospital Ship,

I play Cha Joon Young. I'm Kim In Sik. It's nice to meet you.

I'm Kim Jae Geol, a Korean medicine doctor. You?

I'm Cha Joon Young in dentistry.

What are you doing?

Would you like one? I have one more.

Healthier doctors make their patients get better.

I play a dentist who boards the hospital ship.

Among the doctors, I'm very positive.

I'm also humorous.

What would be your hashtag?

- My hashtag? - Yes.

A fool.

I talk without thinking.

She's my ideal type.

She's got a nice body with a beautiful face.

Why don't you treat me like I'm older instead?

I'd like that.

Doctor.

(Look forward to their voyage on Hospital Ship.)

Hospital Ship, a voyage of young doctors' with dreams and hopes...

will air for the first time next Wednesday.

Before you get on Hospital Ship,

there are three points that you must know as viewers.

The first point for viewers is the hospital ship.

(The 1st point for viewers is the hospital ship.)

You'll find your assigned location on the card.

I'm fine as long as it's not the hospital ship.

It can't be that.

Doctors who have to serve in the military fear the hospital ship.

What's with the grimace?

Hospital ships aren't haunted.

Let's go.

Move forward energetically.

Why are you so tired?

I've never heard of a hospital ship. It was so unfamiliar...

that I was curious.

I wanted to know more about it.

What is a hospital ship?

Many of my friends and colleagues haven't heard of hospital ships.

So I was quite curious.

What is a hospital ship, the main stage of the drama?

(What is a hospital ship, the main stage of the drama?)

I'm sure many of you aren't familiar with...

what a hospital ship is.

I'll explain for that reason.

It may be difficult to imagine...

if you live in a city where you can easily find hospitals.

On this island, there are many villages...

without health facilities such as hospitals or pharmacies.

A ship that travels to such villages to provide health service...

is called a hospital ship.

A Scottish physician in the Navy called J. Lind...

created a ship for transporting patients.

Since then, hospital ships are operated all over the world.

(Hospital ships are operated all over the world.)

In Incheon, South Gyeongsang, South Jeolla, and South...

Chungcheong Province, there are five hospital ships in operation.

(In Korea, 5 hospital ships are currently in operation.)

Hospital ships are necessary for residents on the islands.

It's the same for me and other elderly people.

When the hospital ship arrives,

everyone in the village comes for medical treatment.

In the past, I got medical treatment when the hospital ship came.

It was helpful.

They gave us medicine and injections.

They don't exist anymore.

This hospital ship is the main stage for the drama.

Another medical drama masterpiece is born on this new stage.

I wanted to...

aboard the hospital ship once.

I realized for the first time that there are many islands in Korea...

and that there are villages...

on these islands without medical service.

I learned a lot about hospital ships by watching documentaries.

If a drama is produced,

more people would learn about what hospital ships are.

That's what I thought.

The hospital ship is divided into medical and ship crew.

As the drama's main stage,

the hospital ship travels to islands to treat patients.

- Hello. - Hello.

However, it's not an actual hospital ship.

People put a lot of effort in creating this ship.

It was an ordinary passenger ship.

It's actually a passenger ship. Four times per day,

it travels from Jeogu Port via Somaemul Island to Maemul Island.

It's operated four times a day.

After a dressing process,

the ship took a shape of an actual hospital ship.

It was also renovated to be suitable for filming.

The weight of the ship increased from 77t to 87t.

As the weight increased, the number of passengers decreased...

from 153 to 67.

It took 15 days to renovate the ship.

Finally on July 6, 2017,

the hospital ship departs the port for the first time.

Do you see the ship behind me?

We aboard the ship that you see...

to travel and treat patients.

We actually sail to the sea and film there sometimes.

I will show you the hospital ship.

Please follow me.

I'm on a floating ship, and it's very shaky.

This is the steering station of the hospital ship.

This is where the captain steers the ship.

Would you like to see it?

Who sails the hospital ship?

Captain Bang sails the ship.

He's very cheerful.

He's a very important person...

on the ship.
