Black Pean Information #6 (correction) & 7
Spoilers for episode 1 only. They had accidentally reposted part of #5 at the end of #6 when I originally translated it, so here is the corrected last section of that, plus #7.
#8 is already up but was posted after episode 2, so I'll put it in a separate post later.
A scene that goes beyond real heart surgery
On set, the way they put on their gowns at the start, how they put on their gloves, how they passed and received the instruments, their movements, posture and knot-tying when suturing tissue, how they washed their hands, how the assistants moved, the suction placement, the separation of clean and unclean section, and everything starting from the beginning... in the final version of episode 1, they really looked like a first-rate heart surgery team. In reality, heart surgery takes from 2 to 5 or 6 hours to complete. The actors sometimes wore their scrubs from morning to evening, standing up all day and sweating just to film one surgery scene, and the staff around them continued to prepare everything without a break... I really respect them.
When I do surgery, there are lives depending on that surgery. I operate thinking that if the patient in front of me dies, I will die. The passion of these scenes showing their zeal to save a single life was more intense, more shocking than I imagined. It influenced me a lot too, and the medical examinations and surgeries I do at work every day are of higher quality than before.
Episode 1 mainly covered very niche techniques that only surgeons at the top of their field are really involved with. From episode 2 onward, there will be even more niche treatments that are cutting-edge treatments that we could imagine would exist now. I will try to explain them as clearly as I can.
What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials are studies of new drugs and medical devices that are under development, using patients and healthy people to collect data confirming their efficacy (effectiveness) and safety, carrying out "combined treatment and testing" for those "investigational drugs and investigational medical devices". Thorough tests are conducted with different numbers of patients and types of trial subjects, and those results are investigated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Products that are judged to be safe and effective are put on sale and authorised for use.
(Staff note) As decided by the directors, the drama shows that clinical trials are conducted for large sums of money. In reality, the patients and hospitals are paid according to criteria that are decided in advance.

Yeah, I'm a medical translator of Spanish and Portuguese, and a lot of my real work is about clinical trials too, so... maybe I should get a more different hobby, haha. I don't watch a lot of medical dramas, but I'm sure this is the first time I've seen one that mentions clinical trials this much!

My friend told me maybe they use pig's heart for the filming since pig has similiar heart size with human

Ahh clinical trial!! I think Aiba's Last Hope discussed the patients treatment with some of treatment that just passed from clinical trial too iirc.
And my undegrad supervisor worked with a lot of doctors sometimes the lab research were collaboration of medical devices that were still on clinical trial step
