Twenty-year-old Kang So-ra has been added to the SBS medical sports drama Dr. Champ, which has already cast Kim So-yeon (Prosecutor Princess) and Uhm Tae-woong (Devil) as doctors in Taereung, the training village for national athletes (see: Taereung National Village). Jung Kyeo-woon (Loving You A Thousand Times) completes that main love triangle as a judo champ, although there are other characters who will complicate romantic matters, naturally.

Kang will play a swimmer on the national team and is a frank, lively girl who likes Jung Kyeo-woon. She has begun intense swimming training in preparation for her role.

Kang So-ra has hitherto been known mostly as “Yoo Seung-ho’s girl” or “Yoo Seung-ho’s first kiss” because she scored the leading female role opposite him in the teen thriller Fourth Period Murder Mystery after Kim So-eun dropped out. She drew added attention when she revealed that prior to her debut, she had weighed over 70 kg, and had shed 20 kg to realize her dream of being an actor.

"She drew added attention when she revealed that prior to her debut, she had weighed over 70 kg, and had shed 20 kg to realize her dream of being an actor."

Haha, reminds me of Ma Hye-ri (Kim So-yeon's character in Prosecutor Princess).

She's very pleasant to look at, which is a must for a drama.

Pretty....she kind of looks like Lee Shi Young and Park Ji Young (the actress who played Seo Woo's mother in the movie "Housemaid").

Loved this girl in fourth period murder mystery, but really wished Kim So Eun had stuck with it instead.

*clapping* i'm glad they add another girl for Dr.Champ's casts

If KSY's character is going to end up with UTW's, I would feel bad fpr JGW for not having anyone. But now, i think JGW is better end up with KSR!!!

It means that JGW is the main lead. UTW, KSY, JGW form a triangle love, and KSY JGW, KSR form another triangle love. So who is the male lead, UTW or JGW? Fingers crossed, UTW ends up with KSY ^^

Based on star power, it's pretty clear that Kim So-yeon and Uhm Tae-woong are the main leads.

There are probably going to be multiple love triangles, and I believe Uhm Tae-woong will be at the center of two, too. You can't judge based on number of love entanglements, because I don't think they've all been announced yet.
