  Medical drama finally becomes genre

  "All About Doctor Tang" starring Qin Lan, Wei Daxun, Huang Jue, Gao Lu, etc., tells the story of Tang Jiayu, director of cardiac surgery at Anhe Hospital, and his colleagues, who solved 28 difficult and rare heart disease cases, and successfully developed a domestic "all-in-one" Maglev Artificial Heart" story.

  This drama has basically done one episode of one heart surgery case, such as total aortic replacement, aortic dissection surgery, heart transplantation, cardiac angiosarcoma surgery, cardiac pheochromocytoma surgery, etc. The performance, surgical plan discussion, surgical process, and patient recovery after surgery, etc., unfold the story of each case in detail, and at the end of each episode, there is also a small class for experts to explain, so that the audience can get more information on surgery and illness.

It can be seen that this drama has put a lot of effort into medical professionalism. A lot of professional vocabulary is used when presenting dozens of medical cases. The hospital environment, operating room, surgical equipment, etc. in the play are also very professional, and various complex High-tech operating rooms are presented one by one.

The play has a strong medical advisory team, and some fans of the surgeon drama believe that the play cannot find professional flaws.

  Of course, the cases shown in the series are not just cold surgeries, but wrap the cases in stories that present various social conditions.

For example, the story behind an abandoned baby with congenital heart disease, the reconciliation between heart donors and their parents, the story of a young couple finding true love and direction in life due to an operation, the story of a volleyball player who is desperate for death, the story of an elderly mother with heart disease The story of having a baby, etc.

These stories are either heart-wrenching, touching, or helpless, each patient and the story behind it affects the hearts of the audience.

  The portrayal of the characters in this drama is also good. For example, the heroine focuses on surgery and research and development, and is not interested in workplace infighting initiated by workplace opponents. The workplace struggle is over in one episode.

Outside of the workplace, the play also has the protagonist's emotional line. The female protagonist Tang Jiayu's marriage is on the rocks, and she actively repairs her marriage with her cheating husband, interwoven with the gradually escalating love line between Tang Jiayu and Ye Yiming, director of the anesthesiology department. It is very big, but it forms a plot point outside the professional medical drama.

The content contains real materials of industry dramas, rather than filling a lot of emotional dramas or relationships with the industry. Not much topical content.

The story mode of the drama "All About Doctor Tang" has broken the traditional narrative routine of domestic medical dramas that emphasize love and topicality rather than professionalism. It pursues the professionalism, rigor, and popular science of medical dramas. Sexual convincing is the beginning of the boutiqueization of medical dramas.

Issues such as the doctor's professional ethics, doctor-patient relationship, and outlook on life and death presented in the play are also in line with reality and are not backward.

  Has gone through the detour of idolization

  Although medical dramas are popular at home and abroad, the output of domestic dramas is not high, only one or two per year.

Combing through the domestic medical dramas in the past 20 years, it will be found that such dramas have experienced a development process from high-reputation professional medical dramas to low-reputation idol medical dramas.

Domestic medical dramas have produced word-of-mouth works such as "Infinite Vitality", "Never Give Up", "The Lancet", "The Doctor's Kindness", and "Spiritual Art".

  After 2010, medical dramas began to be idolized, and idol medical dramas with very general reputation such as "The Obstetrician Male Doctor" and "Love Obstetrics and Gynecology" appeared.

After 2015, the setting of "medical + traffic stars" was once popular, but "The rest of my life, please advise me", "You are my stronghold", "The Great Pediatrician", "Little Doctor" and other dramas are actually the protagonists wearing The idol drama about falling in love in a white coat has few professional contents in the drama, and the names of professional drugs and equipment are rarely involved, and even a creative routine has been formed. It has brought unavoidable controversy to medical dramas.

During this period, there were also two medical dramas with middle-aged doctors as the protagonists of "Surgery" starring Jin Dong and "Emergency Doctor" starring Zhang Jiayi, but office struggles and family feuds overshadowed medical professional content.

  Facts have proved that idolized medical dramas have a worrying reputation, and audiences recognize professional medical dramas based on real cases.

The industry line and emotionality can go hand in hand, but the emotional line cannot be overwhelmed. Professional and humanized medical drama is the direction that needs to be worked on.

  In terms of medical dramas, in addition to "All About Doctor Tang", the popular "White Strongman 2" is also well-received. The drama presents medical treatment very professionally, depicts the characters in many ways, and focuses on medical treatment. The perspective is also very wide. , which integrates disease, surgery, doctor-patient relationship, medical system, medical and pharmaceutical development, and power struggles in the medical community. The screenwriter's control level is very high.

The most important thing for domestic medical dramas to take is to be highly typed, so that high-reputation works can appear.
