'Life' Kwon Seung Hyo (Cho Seung-woo) is the destructor and savior of Sangkuk University Hospital
To doctors, he is a destructor who judges the value of medical practice by numbers. But it is also the savior who will solve the 'detachment' of the hospital for somebody. For example, the incident that caused cancer drug accident in the world is justified from a distance, but it is more complicated when it is close. The exposition of Kwon Seo Hyo was a declaration of war against doctors. The proprietor of the hospital is himself and declares that he should follow his direction.
Sangkuk University Hospital is a place where the border between justice and abdication is blurred. The first thing he did after he was appointed president of Sangkuk University Hospital was to dispatch pediatric adolescents, emergency medicine departments, and obstetrics and gynecology clinics to provincial medical centers. Kwon Seung - hyo has set up a rationale for helping marginalized people in medical care. But behind it, there is a habit of improving the sales structure by eliminating the biggest deficit from the hospital. Doctors who learned of his intentions decided to strike, saying, "I can not move a public hospital, a public good, to the logic of capitalism." But their fighting was to keep their rice bowl after all. Both Kwon Sanghyo and medical staff have expressed good will, but no one is right.
Koo Sung Hyo is a thorough businessmen. We aim to be reasonable. It is thanks to the hospital's showing of the abandonment. Koo Seo Hyo learned about medication accident in the cancer center, and he prepared the medication manual to attach the barcode to the medicine. Kim Tae-sang, vice chairman (Moon Sung-keun), who tolerated unlicensed surrogate surgery, also punished severely. Inno-e (Won Jin-ah) called Kwon Syohyo "a man to throw a stone at a hospital." Kim Sang-hyo, who received a report that Kim Tae-sang had conducted over-the-counter medical treatment, asked Yeon-woo (Lee Kyu-hyung)
But he is buried in business and does not see the nobility of medical practice. For him, medical practice is a kind of service. "What employees do is profit the company and pay the salary," he said. Meanwhile, public health collapses. However, even doctors who call him a merchant do not show him the dignity of life. It is obscured by ambition toward power, deeply elitism, selfishness. The opposition of Lee, Sang-yeop (Ahn Hyo-seop), a cancer center called "Are we the same as ordinary office workers?" Is so empty. Standards for good and justice lose power in the massive system of large corporations or hospitals.
Every person who appears in 'Life' moves according to his beliefs. But most of those beliefs come from selfishness. Sometimes it is blurred what you follow. "I just do my job," replies Inoue, who does not know if he can hope for himself. However, a lot of accidents occurred in the hospital when I was just doing my job. Also, the case of the Hwajeong group whistleblower who appeared in the 11th episode is also read as a warning. A reporter who breaks coverage ethics, a loyal businessmen in a group, shows how terrible results a doctor who has lost faith can bring. Individuals who are helpless in the system eventually only make the system of predators more visible.
There is no absolute lead or absolute evil in Life. What is good intention and result is blurred. There is a hint about how the 'bad guy' is made. Turn it over, at least you'll know how much it will not be a 'bad guy'. That alone can make the world much more definitive.
