For the 2006 Japanese television drama with similar title in Japanese/Chinese, see Shiroi Kyotō.
The Hospital (Chinese: 白色巨塔; pinyin: báisè jù tǎ; lit. 'The Great White Tower') is a 2006 Taiwanese drama starring Jerry Yan, Leon Dai, Janine Chang, Chang Kuo-chu, Ng Man Tat and Tang Zhiping. It was produced by Yang Ming International Production (揚名國際影視) and directed by Cài Yuè Xun (Chinese: 蔡岳勳). The series comprises thirty-nine[1] 60-minute episodes (including commercial time) and was broadcast on free-to-air China Television (CTV) (中視) from 15 August 2006 to 6 October 2006, Mondays to Fridays at 20:00.
The story of The Hospital is based on the 2000 Chinesenovel of the same title by Taiwanese author Hou Wenyong (侯文詠). It depicts the power struggle and prestige in a national university-affiliated hospital in Taiwan, as well as the human relations within the community. Due to the resemblances in the title and story setting, Hou's novel is often compared alongside the Japanese novel Shiroi Kyotō, written by Toyoko Yamasaki.[Note 1] Both works have been adapted into television series in Asia.
Jerry Yan (言承旭) as Su Yihua (蘇怡華), M.D.,[Note 2] the maleprotagonist of the story, professor at the National United University School of Medicine (NUUSM; fictional) and surgeon at its affiliated hospital (聯大醫院, NUUH; fictional), takes no interest in the hospital's internal politics but eventually becomes a tool used by others to bring down his mentor, Tang Guotai
Leon Dai (戴立忍) as Qiu Qingcheng (邱慶成), M.D., professor at the NUUSM and deputy director of the NUUH Surgery Department, sides with the peremptory Tang Guotai when Tang is in power but then joins Xu Daming to purge Tang's influence in the department after Tang's sudden stroke attack
Janine Chang (張鈞甯) as Guan Xin (關欣), M.D., anesthesiologist at the NUUH and later director of the NUUH Anesthesia Department, Su Yihua's lover who eventually parts with him as she escapes from the power struggles in the hospital
Chang Kuo-chu (張國柱) as Xu Daming (徐大明), M.D., professor at the NUUSM and director of the NUUH Department of Internal Medicine, arch rival to Tang Guotai and winner for the appointment of superintendent to the hospital, later father-in-law of Su Yihua
Ng Man Tat (吳孟達) as Tang Guotai (唐國泰), M.D., professor at the NUUSM and director of the NUUH Surgery Department, teacher and tormentor of Su Yihua who suffers a stroke when he learns his loss in the bid for hospital superintendency to Xu Daming
Tang Zhiping (唐治平) as Chen Kuan (陳寬), M.D., assistant professor at the NUUSM and surgeon at the NUUH, friend of Su Yihua who fails in his bid for associate professorship due to Tang Guotai's persecution and dies of stomach cancer shortly afterwards
^Although both stories deal extensively with power struggles and various abuses in the public research university hospital system, The Hospital spends more space on the personal relations of the irresolute protagonist amid various moral predicaments, whereas Yamasaki's Shiroi Kyotō climaxes with a lawsuit involving medication error committed by the ambitious protagonist and reflects more philosophically on the vocation of a medical practitioner against personal success.

^Chang Kuo-chu was nominated for and incorrectly announced as the winner of the 2007 Best Supporting Actor at the 42nd Golden Bell Awards, hence both he and fellow actor are both listed as winners.
