Life

Life (라이프) is a JTBC medical-politics drama written by Lee Soo-yeon and directed by Hong Jong-chan, airing July 23 to September 11, 2018. It sets emergency medicine specialist Ye Jin-woo, played by Lee Dong-wook, against Sangkook University Hospital's newly installed CEO, Koo Seung-hyo, played by Cho Seung-woo, as the hospital's founding medical ideals collide with Koo's cost-driven management. Won Jin-ah, Lee Kyu-hyung, and Moon So-ri round out the hospital's senior staff. (IMDb)

Watches

Piaget Altiplano

Worn by Cho Seung-woo as Koo Seung-hyo. GQ Korea's profile of Cho Seung-woo's watch collection states that a Piaget Altiplano "appeared frequently" on Koo Seung-hyo, matching the character's cold, immaculate management style. An independent Naver blog post agrees that Piaget recurs across the drama, consistent with a running sponsorship of the actor rather than a single watch, but its own evidence splits: its Altiplano identification admits it had no close-up of the piece and substitutes a similar image from Piaget's own site, while it separately identifies a Piaget Polo S from what it describes as an actual scene capture. No source cleanly resolves which piece appears in which scene, so this record follows GQ Korea's stated Altiplano as the primary identification and records the Polo S sighting as an open disagreement rather than a second confirmed appearance. (GQ Korea · 시계더쿠 CUTE 조승우 시계 리스트, which additionally names a Piaget Polo S worn in the same drama) The Economic Review's watch column of 12 September 2018, written during the run, settles the split: it reports that Koo Seung-hyo alternates two Piagets, naming the Altiplano as the 38 mm white-gold model on black alligator with the ultra-thin 430P calibre and the other as the Polo S.

Piaget Polo S

Worn by Cho Seung-woo as Koo Seung-hyo. The Economic Review's watch column of 12 September 2018 reports that Koo Seung-hyo alternates two Piagets and names the first as a Polo S: the 42 mm steel model on its bracelet with the white dial, then about 13 million won. It sets a JTBC frame of him at his desk, a steel bracelet watch at his cuff, beside Piaget's product photograph. The reading is the column's own, from the frame, and it names no reference or episode.
