An Woo Yeon Transforms Into A Self-Made Game Company CEO In New Medical Thriller Drama

An Woo Yeon Transforms Into A Self-Made Game Company CEO In New Medical Thriller Drama

TV CHOSUN’s upcoming weekend miniseries “Doctor Shin” (literal title) has unveiled the first stills of An Woo Yeon in character! “Doctor Shin” is a medical thriller that follows a brilliant doctor who pushes medicine beyond limits once considered the domain of God, and a woman whose brain is suddenly damaged overnight, causing her to gradually lose her soul. Centered on the unusual romance surrounding a top star who falls into a coma after a tragic accident—along with the man who once loved her and the man who still loves her—the drama unfolds a bold narrative that explores love and desire, taboo and sacrifice. An Woo Yeon plays Ha Yong Joong, a successful game developer. Ha Yong Joong is the CEO of a game company who became self-made by creating a game that became a mega hit in record time. He is a character with sensible charisma, sophisticated looks, and a warm, thoughtful personality. The stills show Ha Yong Joong with a confident, bright smile as the CEO of a game company. He smiles at a meal and raises a toast, and he takes phone calls even during a home workout. The images give a glimpse of the busy life of a young CEO. With wealth, fame, and talent, viewers are eager to see what fate awaits Ha Yong Joong. An Woo Yeon said, “I think many people, including myself, know the reputation of writer Im Sung Han (also known as Phoebe). After an eight-hour audition, I, along with other actors, heard directly from the writer about the casting. When the writer said we would be ‘the leads who will carry Doctor Shin,’ I felt a mix of excitement and concern about whether I could handle such a work by the famous writer Im Sung Han. At the same time, I felt ambition and resolved to do my best with such excellent writing. Even though it has been nearly a year, I still vividly remember the day I was cast as a lead.” An Woo Yeon continued, “Ha Yong Joong is a man of great presence and gravitas, the CEO of a game company who has been developing games since he was young and achieved success. I studied a lot and consulted with the writer to prepare for the role. On the outside, I styled my hair in a masculine way, with two strands left down to show a free-spirited side. I also took voice training and paid close attention to my tone to make it deeper. On the inside, I worked hard to portray a polite, gentlemanly CEO who has both wealth and fame, including learning etiquette at fine dining restaurants.” The production team commented, “An Woo Yeon is constantly reflecting and analyzing as he performs the role of Ha Yong Joong. Please look forward to him reaching the peak of his career-defining performance through his solid, fully developed range of acting.” “Doctor Shin” will premiere on March 14 at 10:30 p.m. KST.

At the verge of death, Kang Bit Na (Park Shin Hye) is condemned unfairly and sent back to the world possessed by lord demon “Justitia,” who now has the mission to find sinners and send them to hell before she herself gets destroyed. As a judge, it doesn’t take long before she finds her first target, but before she can kill him, she has to set him free of charges, enraging the victims. As she moves on with her plans, her unfair judgments start to get the attention of skilled detective Han Da On (Kim Jae Yeong), who not only finds Bit Na suspicious but also dangerous.  However, after Da On loses a loved one at the hands of a serial killer, his perspective changes, and he decides to help Bit Na achieve her goal. As they work together, Bit Na starts to develop feelings for Da On, one of the most taboo things for a demon. In this dark and mysterious story, Park Shin Hye charms you with her daring, morally-grey, and charismatic female lead while Kim Jae Yeong perfectly portrays the fragility of human nature, creating an exciting and thrilling combination. And proving the success and popularity of this show, it is already set to have a second season.

After he tries to uncover a grim corruption case, he is coldly murdered, but before passing to the afterlife, he is granted the chance to go back in time with the promise to change not only his fate but to take down a vile assemblyman who has been abusing his power, destroying lives left and right. Once he finds himself back in his college years, he quickly gets to work.  Using all his memories and knowledge from the future, he stands out not only as a student but also as a prodigy in real states and law, impressing more than one along the way. Furthermore, he gets to save his parents’ lives, save a close friend from bankruptcy, and even gets rich, establishing a strong stance to fight his enemies. Slowly but surely, he reaches higher grounds where he can truly protect justice. With his unique charm and sharp looks, Lee Joon Gi captivates you in another legal drama, this time by Kim Ji Eun’s side, who shines with a brilliant performance as the clever Kim Hee Ah, showing once again her wide range and talent. Watch “Again My Life” here:  3. “While You Were Sleeping”  Everybody has wished that their dreams would come true, but for Nam Hong Joo (Suzy), every dream she has turns into a real-life nightmare. Ever since dreaming about her father’s tragic death when she was younger, she has feared whatever future she might see in her sleep. That is, until she meets Jung Jae Chan (Lee Jong Suk), a cynical prosecutor who has spent most of his career barely caring about his role inside a courtroom. However, when he meets peculiar Hong Joo and discovers that she can actually foresee the future, he starts to get involved in a way he never expected.  As they untangle a tricky series of crimes that have deep and old roots connecting each other’s fates, their hearts also begin to heal the pains from their childhoods. With her characteristic charm and beauty, Suzy will amaze you not only with the range of her acting but also with how endearing her character is. On the other hand, Lee Jong Suk delivers an equally charismatic and energetic performance that highlights the emotional depths of their relationship. Though this isn’t exactly a regression drama, the elements of fantasy still give this show a unique color that makes it one of the fans’ favorites.  Watch “While You Were Sleeping” here:  4. “Memorist”  If you had a special ability, would you use it for good or for evil? For Dong Baek (Yoo Seung Ho), the answer is easy. Ever since he was a young boy, he’s had the ability to read the memories in people’s minds, which has led him to become a key element in the criminal police force. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and not everybody feels particularly comfortable with the man’s unique ability. Furthermore, when a serial killer starts to terrorize Seoul, he has to fight criticism, prejudice, and his inner demons to find the culprit behind the horrendous crimes. Along the way, he meets Han Sun Mi (Lee Se Young), a brilliant criminal profiler, who, despite her initial suspicions about Dong Baek, ends up becoming his most important ally and the person who will help him to discover a painful truth from his past. With many twists and turns, this story easily becomes a rollercoaster of emotions between suspense, crime, and thrill. However, with two former child actors as the main characters leading the show, it becomes an emotional, exciting, yet intense K-drama that you cannot miss for the world. It will keep you wondering what exactly is going on, but somehow, you won’t be able to stop watching until the last minute.
