Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won Confirmed as Neurosurgeons for SBS Mon-Tues Drama Doctors

For those waiting for Park Shin Hye‘s return to drama land, the wait is over as the pretty and talented young actress is confirmed for upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors (formerly known as Female Gangster Hye Jung). The good casting news comes in doubles today as rumored male lead Kim Rae Won has also confirmed, making this an early head start for the drama to start prepping for a June premiere after Daebak (The Royal Gambler or Jackpot) with Jang Geun Seok and Yeo Jin Gu.

While I hate the generic drama title of Doctors (try googling that when searching for information), I do love that it’s going to be a medical drama set in a hospital when there hasn’t been one in awhile, and no Blood in early 2015 doesn’t count. It’s also promising for Park Shin Hye’s career to keep taking on capable professional roles, and here she plays neurosurgery resident Hye Jung who comes from a dark past but has a outgoing personality and is known to resort to smack downs when needed. Kim Rae Won’s her chief of neurosurgery and is described as smart and friendly with a practical outlook. 

While leads Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won are confirmed, the second leads remain to be locked down but offers have gone out to Cheese in the Trap‘s Lee Sung Kyung as well as SBS regular Yoon Kyun Sang who just wrapped Six Flying Dragons and has costarred with Park Shin Hye before in Pinocchio. Doctors comes from the production team behind One Warm Word and High Society. I’m totally cool with this full cast if it happens, but just having Park Shin Hye back is worth checking out to see if she continues to improve from a career breakthrough of sorts in Pinocchio.

  • Yes and finally park shin hye will back and with Kim rea won the happiness are double ?????

    • We don't know that KRW's acceptance Hye Jung's character will be affected adversely in any way. Infact, two strong protagonists when written well can make up for a good watch-worthy drama. Yes, let's hope it turns out well for Shinhye and the drama too.

      • I don't think that's a legit argument considering Suzy and Jin Se Yeon should've been 'thrown' forever ago if it only came up to talent.

        That said, PSH isn't the worse out there. She isn't who I'd call talented though because that's a word I reserve for actresses who truly deliver in every role.

    • @Hmmm
      that's your opinion on "talent". PSH got her 1st acting award at the age 13 and have been able to transformation to a real actress and a very successful one at that. She can sing, dance, play music instruments and basically everything. If that's not talent I don't know what is.

      She might not the best actress and she herself say it many times but she has deserves every role given to her... She has work her way up from the bottom for over 10 years and wasn't given easily like Suzy or SJY so don't even compare them.

      • Yeah, Please watch Tree of Heaven. Suzy and SJY cant play like PSH even now where she was teenager yet drama is a heavy melodrama.

      • Yeah because you dislike her...
        You are just as good as this troll.
        But your fave can't even act with her even if he wants to.

      • I'm honored to be a troll here and love to troll PSH's rabid fans. LMAO...Buhahahahahahahahaha

        My fave Song Joong Ki? You're comical. He may not want to co star with your bias who doesn't have talents. This guy has been smart enough since Deep Rooted Tree to know how to pick his next projects with right screenplay and right cast to continue boosting his career.. LOL again.

  • Given the generic title of Doctors, it may no longer be centered around PSH character of a gangster becoming a neurosurgeon. Hope the script may not divert so much from the original story. Both are talented. I am glad PSH gets to act with a brilliant actor like Kim Rae Won. She can learn from it and further improve her craft. Looking forward to the drama. Praying for high ratings. ???

  • it's been a while 1 yr 6 months since pino. hoping for the best! i think yong pal is the latest medical drama, no?

  • Yeah Park Shin Hye is back!!! Looking forward to this drama.
    I don't like the generic title too and really frustrated that the drama won't be centered around the female lead anymore.
    Well, hope the drama and this pairing will turns out well.

      • Also, I believe this is a first drama for the director too. He was assistant director before this....I think I read it somewhere...I hope writer-director deliver or at least enough for the cast to overcome the short-comings if any.
