Grande Masterpiece
I've never come across such a drama that blew my mind completely.
The great white tower is such a high-class socio-political drama.
You can divide this drama into 3 parts :
1. Power Struggle
2. Ego accompanied by forced melodrama
3. Life
This drama is a perfect example of Dilbert's principle, which in simple terms states that a talented person will hardly find a position at the top.
Part 1 is exceptional in every way, all the matters shown in that regard are so progressive and real that you can't help but clap and be impressed with it.
It deals with how climbing with the top isn't easy. How little control you've over everything.
Politics is present everywhere.
People are jealous of those who are talented.
Part 2 is forced and often turned to a melodrama by showcasing that the sense of justice is relentless.
I didn't like part 2 as it was cynic, the writer was evident in showing that no matter what wrong might've been caused, karma always bites back.
This is not right, coz what the writer showed in the 1st part was so great that the 2nd part just fell off the cliff.
Part 3 is self-realization bout life, as a person and as a doctor perhaps but more important than that as a human being Life is important, you never know when you'll die.
So learn to express and take care of those who are near you. ^^
Overall it fits a perfect 9, the reason being when you're focusing on such a high-class politics why involved a social message with melodrama in the 2nd half, as a person who loves to watch the clever theme, this ruined the theme for me.
It could've been introduced in a much better way.
PS: Special mentions to the acting and the soundtrack.
One of the greatest and legendary casting in any J drama you'll ever come across. The acting standards of this drama are so high, that none can come near this.
The soundtrack was so classy and melodious to hear.
At each and every moment I could feel the intensity of this drama.
I can bet, the standard of J dramas have gone down nowadays.
Who even a drama from 2003 represented the true potential of how exceptional J drama were at the time .
