My Thoughts
I am just happy he won’t be playing a typical arrogant doctor I was about to flip reading the plot outline and I am happy the description of his character is positive, I am sick and tired of medical dramas with leading doctors who are ‘jerks.’
Nana is considering the drama, I would be happy if she accepts and plays the leading role; she deserves it and is such a good actress. I think they would make a good pair.
Many medical dramas are about suspense and revenge, this isn’t any different. But for now, we trust in Namgoong Min’s choice, he usually takes on interesting projects.
