Yoona and Lee Jin Wook Confirmed as Leads for K-drama Adaptation of Medical J-dorama Unnatural
Awwww, this is one of my fave medical J-doramas and the final casting announcement this week just feels like half the wind got sucked out of it. The K-drama adaptation of Unnatural has confirmed that Yoona and Lee Jin Wook will be the leads, with the drama aiming for an early 2027 release. The female lead doctor is such a great role and Yoona has been on a streak of picking good dramas that do well, but saddling her with Lee Jin Wook is such a buzz kill for me. Are there no actors left in K-drama land that he keeps getting work lol. With that said, this is a procedural with mystery of the episode set ups so it should be fine to watch solely for the interesting medical investigation stories.
She can’t act so she is the bigger problem here.
Exactly! She has negative charisma on screen and is so bland looking. I will never understand how she was considered the prettiest in SNSD!
Lee Jin Wook is ehhh but this sounds more female lead centered.
same here. she’s such a bad actress and is soooo bland looking. literally one of the least good looking snsd members tbvh. all that mediaplay SM did for her back then really brainwashed so many people.
LJW keeps getting work – like how.
I was kind of hoping this was just rumor mill because neither seem to suit but the original was so well done… it might not even resemble. I’d be pretty shocked cause the original was more mature in scenarios. I just feel they will sugar coat it. She does better comedy. And he and his eyebrows are so distracting lol. But this just makes me curious about the rest of the cast. The ensemble of characters in the original overall is what made it more enjoyable.
I’ve never been a fan of LJW. Although Yoona had a hit drama, Bon Appetit, that I enjoyed, a medical drama is rarely my cup of tea. The genre just doesn’t interest me unless the leading cast includes my favorite actors. However, there’s one C medical drama I’m following right now. Xiao Zhan is the leading man of comedic Small Town Remedy, and the plot is unexpectedly fun to watch, with quips here and there. lol
