The reviews for currently airing SBS K-drama Doctors is mixed but that’s not a bad thing, it certainly is garnering the ratings to make it well on its way to success and some detraction helps generate buzz if you ask me. I find myself liking Park Shin Hye‘s grown up look but disliking the story line they saddled her with, … Continue reading →
SBS premiered two new prime time dramas this week to opposite spectrum results, and the one win greatly trumps the one loss if you ask me. Doctors with Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won burst out of the gate to fantastic ratings, garnering 12.9% AGB nationwide on Monday and the second episode rose 1.3% to bring in 14.2%Â AGB nationwide … Continue reading →
I think I can get over one supremely unpalatable drama trope as long as it’s minimal and everything else works. That means upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors has to limit the high school scenes where Park Shin Hye‘s younger rebellious self bonds with her high school teacher played by Kim Rae Won, because even if they don’t have actual romantic … Continue reading →
Well, this certainly is a nice way to amp up excitement for upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, not that I personally need anymore flame fanning since I’m already super stoked. The first stills are out of Ji Soo playing a supporting role, more like a guest starring turn, playing an important someone in female lead Park Shin Hye‘s character Hye … Continue reading →
I see major flashbacks to Park Shin Hye‘s last drama Pinocchio, and it’s not something I sensed in early previews for Doctors but I totally sense it now with the official drama posters. It’s not a bad sort of flashback since I loved Pinocchio and also loved the posters, it just feels lazy that same network SBS resorted to such … Continue reading →
The onscreen face-off of Park Shin Hye and Lee Sung Kyung in Doctors takes shape in the latest drama stills from the arriving soon Mon-Tues SBS drama. Looks like they are friends back in the high school days, and in the present turn into colleagues in the neurosurgery department of the same hospital. First loves in Hallyu dramas are overplayed … Continue reading →
Park Shin Hye can’t quite leave high school behind yet, at least not onscreen when it comes to her drama roles. For her last few dramas she’s had a high school flashback section and/or actually played a high school student, even though being in her mid-20s she is now ready for adult roles all the time. Context is important and … Continue reading →
The second teaser is out for the next SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, and so far the drama hasn’t actually shown any doctoring in either of the teasers unless you count pretty people wearing white doctor coats. This new teaser switches the tone and perspective, from reformed former high school gangster Hye Jung to her mentor Dr. Hong Ji Hong. While … Continue reading →
SBS has unveiled the very very attractive main cast of doctors in the upcoming Mon-Tues drama Doctors, putting me in mind to fake and illness to get treated by this bunch of pretties. Starring Kim Rae Won, Park Shin Hye, Yoon Kyun Sang, and Lee Sung Kyung, the drama takes over the time slot from Jackpot (Daebak) and turns the … Continue reading →
I LOVE Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Seok together onscreen, with their mutual last K-drama Pinocchio being one of my top faves in recent years. It’s present tense love since neither has done a K-drama since, but both are coming back with new works shortly, and right now Park Shin Hye has the head start in timing and incredible … Continue reading →
Even expecting Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won to be a good drama lead coupling in upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, even I’m surprised at how compatible and complementary they look onscreen in the first official still of the pair. Kim Rae Won looks mature in a youthful way while Park Shin Hye is older enough now to be … Continue reading →
I never thought I’d see Park Shin Hye in a doctor genre drama, and conversely I’ve wondered why Kim Rae Won hasn’t done one yet since all his generational male colleagues have wielded the scalpel already. Filming started on upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors (formerly Female Gangster Hye Jung) last week and now the production has released the script reading stills … Continue reading →
The banality of naming a drama about doctors Doctors still frustrates me, especially when the original title was the plucky Female Gangster Hye Jung. Sure that might be misleading since the gangster part was the female lead’s high school days and the present is about her life as a neurosurgery resident, but it’s still leaps and bounds better than a … Continue reading →
