White Tower (2007)

The Great White Tower is the original adaptation of the Japanese novel; White Tower is the Korean drama remake. The former is known as a classic, although it seems that people who prefer K-dramas might enough the remake more. Both feature great actors, though.

Both dramas realistically depict the dark side of hospital politics. They both take a satirical look at malpractice and power plays within a university hospital.

Life focuses more on business and what goes on in the overall hospital, while White Tower focuses primarily on the main character's life.

White Tower is a man's tragic story towards his desire for success, his ideals, and his path from nothing to honor to shame to redemption. Life is more of a murder mystery where doctors clash with a businessman who attempts to make the hospital a profitable business.

White Tower was a critical and ratings megahit in Korea, and the Japanese novel it was based off of was a critical and massive hit in Japan.

Life seems to be headed towards that critical acclaim as well.

Both of them is about a doctor who is obsessed to success and dreams to become hospital director.
Both main character in two dramas (kim myung min and shin ha kyun) is a skillful and arrogant doctor but have good heart inside them.
Brain is mainly around neurosurgery department while white tower in heart surgery department.
However, the situation, and the way of struggling is different for both dramas.
There is a nice love story in brain but no love story focused in white tower.
