'Medical Brothers' DVD with English subtitle has been released and available at yesasia: 'Medical Brothers' link at yesasia
2007 has already seen the airing of popular medical dramas The Great White Tower and Surgeon Bong Dal Hee, piquing audience interest in the genre, but the medical profession is hardly a new theme for Korean television. 2000's Medical Center and 90s dramas Sunflower and General Hospital, which will be getting remade soon, all revolved around the field of medicine, not to mention historical period dramas Hur Jun and Dae Jang Geum. One of the most memorable and representative medical dramas though has to be MBC's 1997 series Medical Brothers (a.k.a. Doctor Brothers), starring two of Korea's biggest stars, Jang Dong Gun and Lee Young Ae. Both gave breakthrough performances in this riveting drama, performing fairly daring love scenes by Korean television standards. Jang Dong Gun, in particular, departed from his usual good guy image to play a cool and complicated character.
Both brothers and rivals, Kim Su Hyung (Jang Dong Gun) and Kim Jun Ki (Son Chang Min, Woman of the House) are doctors at the same hospital. Young and promising figures in the field, Su Hyung and Jun Ki are dedicated to their profession, though not always as disciplined in other matters. Su Hyung's rash and insensitive personality often brings tears to his longtime girlfriend Min Joo (Lee Young Ae), who is also a doctor. The brothers face crises in both their personal and professional lives when Jun Ki's mistake leads to his friend's wife's passing and Su Hyung discovers a family secret concerning his identity.

Thanks for the advice. It's a pity that it is still only available in Asia and Yesasia.com USA does not offer it.
Thank you so much for letting us know ! 've been waiting for this !
Love your new format by the way.
Hope you'll be back sooner .... if not soonest.
All I have to add is the price tag is set outrageously way too high. Even to a fan addict like me, I won't bother and have the urge to shop it. If it can be adjusted to a more reasonable price range, I am sure this will be a market big Hit.
