K-dramas

Lee Bo Young Cast in K-drama Mary Kills People and Joining Her are Lee Min Ki and Kang Ki Young

Every time Ji Sung finishes a drama I just know Lee Bo Young is coming back soon haha, the married couple make it known they alternate filming on projects so one parent is always home with their kids. She’s confirmed her next project as the medical K-drama Mary Kills People, an adaptation of the same name Canadian show centered on the female lead who is a dermatologist that moonlights as a doctor performing euthanasia for late stage cancer patients. Joining Lee Bo Young in the drama are Lee Min Ki as a dogged detective looking for this doctor performing illegal euthanasia and Kang Ki Young as her supportive assistant. The cast is strong and the topic very relevant and controversial so this should be an interesting K-drama on an challenging topic.

  • I am loving the diversity of topics being covered in many upcoming kdramas. This one’s truly controversial so I’d love to see how they handle it. Hopefully the writer is up for the task.

  • I love the working arrangements. As a modern day couple and parents that share responsibilities and the respect and support each other's career over so many successful years. I guess not the norm in a still very conservative and patriarchal society like in Korea.
    They are setting couple goals.

  • JS/LBY's balanced family life and career are admirable. In most families, most likely one spouse sacrifices more than the other. In most Asian marriages specifically, this one spouse is the wife that more likely sacrifices her career to care for family needs. Otherwise, she is labeled as an iron lady or alpha female. LOL. In particular, this kind of label of a married woman (女強人)is somewhat derogatory in Chinese, albeit "alpha" is a superlative in English. Not sure about Korean society though.

  • We were lamenting the lacking roles for older actresses recently but LBY is a
    rare actress in that her career and variety of roles has actually improved as she matured. This sounds like a really interesting drama around a very sensitive and though provoking topic. LBY is a fab actress and Kang Ki Young is another one of my favourite always a bridesmaid never the bride supporting actors that I enjoy in every role.

    I try not to idolise any celebrity relationships as we don't really know what is going on in private but I do like what we hear about their marriage. It seems like a true partnership as a marriage should be.

  • Not only they find their own balance between family life and work but both were successful on playing challenging, interesting roles...and good ratings ! Even in another countries we don't find plethora of this kind of famous couples . I'm a big fan of Ji Sung's acting . I don't even read the plot of a project if his name appears , i will watch !

    • Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander similar to them ☺️

      "Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender don't work at the same time. The couple arrange their schedules so they can "always" travel together and one of them is free to be with their son while the other is busy on set.
      "In my little family, with my husband and my child, we travel together, always. That's the rule," she says. "We do jobs so one of us can always be with the baby.""
