From bar fights to lab coats in SBS’s Doctors

Character descriptions have been released along with a teaser for SBS’s new Monday-Tuesday drama Doctors, in which Park Shin-hye (Pinocchio) undergoes a transformation from troubled teen to neurosurgery fellow. It turns out that Kim Rae-won (Punch) not only plays her sunbae surgeon at the hospital, but also her high school biology teacher. But, why? Kim Rae-won already did My Little Bride! Let’s just hope all the high school lovelines are of the sweet, innocent, and unrequited kind.

Park Shin-hye stars as a rebellious teenager who loses her mom and has a terrible relationship with her father, and decides to just live recklessly. She’s smart and dogged and never loses a fistfight, and despite always getting into trouble, she also reads voraciously and knows she can’t live this way forever. Kim Rae-won is a young surgeon who makes a mistake that costs a patient their life, and decides to abandon his career to go teach high school biology. There he meets troubled transfer student Park Shin-hye, and they’ll influence each other to live better and pursue their dreams. And then 13 years later, she becomes a surgical fellow and reunites with her old teacher at the hospital.

Lee Sung-kyung (Cheese in the Trap) plays a lovable girl who’s blessed with a good family and good looks, who’s used to always being the best at everything. But when Park Shin-hye transfers to her school, she finally meets her match and loses to someone for the first time in her life. To add insult to injury, she’s got a huge crush on the biology teacher, who pays more attention to Park Shin-hye over her. When they become rivals again in adulthood, Lee Sung-kyung makes it her mission to win at all costs.

Yoon Kyun-sang (Six Flying Dragons) rounds out the love square as a chaebol heir who chose to become a surgeon to avoid inheriting the family company. He knows that Lee Sung-kyung likes him, but he’s bored by her, and seeks a love like a roller coaster. When he meets the unpredictable heroine, he’ll fall head over heels.

The teaser opens with Park Shin-hye in the middle of a brawl, as she says in voiceover, “Living recklessly is more evil and abusive to yourself than dying. But even in this moment when I want to live recklessly, the voice deep in my heart asks, ‘How long are you going to live this way?'” She wakes up from the reverie now in the future as a doctor, but her fighting instincts are still intact — when Kim Rae-won greets her with a pat on the head, she attacks and then says in shock, “Teacher.”

As he smiles at her and says it’s been a long while, she narrates, “The unresolved past will always find you, whether it’s a grudge, or love.”

Doctors follows Jackpot beginning June 20.

OMG OMG I am so excited and PSH based on the teaser can definitely pass for a gangster. And they look good together already so I hope the chemistry will be awesome. This looks promising and I'm definitely tuning in.

They only have like a 9 year age gap, so it can work. Kim Rae Won is quite dashing as the sunbae and I can understand the attraction. Kim Rae Won back in the days before the transformation was quite the heartthrob. Not the super handsome type but a real guy with lots of charm.

Plus she's actually an adult until Kim So Hyun and Taec, where KSH is still a minor!! I cringe so hard.

I really don't see a problem with this age gap as they are both grown ups and seem like they'll look good together. Although the high school teacher thing...

I watched the teaser and my earlier prejudice against PSH is slowing fading away. But still I cant seem to digest the love line I know both are adults but falling in love with your mentor I don't find this right. You can have admiration and a platonic relationship too but this... I would have had no issues if He were just a fellow doctor. But still I am excited for this show as PSH's departure from candy type roles to a half baked gangster looks promising and convincing.

When I first stumbled upon this dynamic in manga/anime, I always thought how taboo it was. But later realized this is one of the common real life dynamics. Besides I don't have an issue if they're both adults.

I think I'm more excited worth this info because kdramas don't usually tackle this (the last I remember is Biscuit Teacher).

From what I know my professors married each other but their relationship started when she was an intern under him. I think it's not that uncommon in real. I remember meeting another couple where they got married because she was also an intern under him during her school time.

Is this actually going to be the drama that forces people to admit Park Shin-hye isn't her drip of a character from Heirs? Get it, I say! No words needed for Kim Rae-won.

And I like the second leads too, I hope this drama gives Lee Sung-kyung and Yoon Kyun-sang some room to play instead of being the rejected chaebol/bitchy second female lead trope. Pinocchio and the latter half of Cheese in the Trap proved they're well capable of it.

Her character in Heirs really left the bad impression towards her acting among non-fans and I am to be included. Left Pinocchio but will definitely give this a chance since I love Kim Rae Won.

Cannot we just have two different lovelines? I don't want to see Yoon Kyun Sang to become a heartbroken. Agreed that our second leads deserve some room, not just typical second leads.

When will people realize it's not her fault or her acting was shitty in Heirs?
Her character was poorly written and it's not that hard to see.
She did well in pinocchio and fbnd but all people could say is heirs heirs and heirs. She didn't ask to be crying every single scene and was just a plot device for the 2 ass hole leads.

@Hmm AMEN TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID. people need to stop blaming PSH for the travesty that was heirs, it's not her fault that she had to play such a weak character from the start. and also idk why but when she was first casted for Doctors as a gangster for some reason i could so imagine her in this role and judging from the teaser i was proven correct. i really hope she continues to get better roles because she is more than capable of bringing out the best in them

Required fields are marked *

Nah. She's at the point in her career where she has a huge fanbase, but that also means she has a faction of people that will always hate or dislike her, not matter how an amazing of a performance she may give. I'm not talking about people that are logical and have actual constructive criticism of her acting, I'm talking about a lot of kdrama/kpop fans that are bitter and resentful over her success. I mean there are a lot of idols, actors, or actresses that are top stars that I think aren't very skilled or the best at what they do, but they're at the top nonetheless, and I'm not bitter or resent the fact that I have certain faves that may be better, but are way less popular.

She's had a movie AND a drama after Heirs, and certain ifans still bring Heirs up as a way to disparage her, it's really old and tired at this point. I'm still glad she did Heirs despite the fact it was cringe. She needed a textbook hallyu hit drama on her resume to solidify herself at the top, and Heirs did it.

oh I definitely recognise what Heirs did for her in terms of career/status - it was a very smart move, no matter what we think of it on merits.

And for the most part, her detractors have piped down after Pinocchio, but it would be nice to have this one comprehensively establish her acting range so at least the idol fan lunatic fringe will finally realise that she is not her character and that no one takes them seriously for insisting that she is.

Yeah, I would totally agree that a lot of career kdrama watchers and elitists lol have piped down in comparison to the ridiculousness from two years ago when she was fresh off Heirs.

I guess I mainly see a lot of the gross or inappropriate comments about her as a person, her personal life, or her acting come from pressed fans of less popular or well liked actresses and female idols.

I've definitely noticed that fans of certain less popular or relevant actresses and idols think PSH and their fav are rivals, when they're not even remotely on the same playing field career wise. But, the pettiness from ifans is amusing to witness lmao.

Heirs was a sad affair with all due respect for everybody involved except maybe for Kim Woo Bin and Kim Ji-Won(Yeah, I shipped them and it sank). Bad writing, below average direction that was beyond being salvaged by acting only. As for PSH, I saw her first in You are Beautiful and I loved her in it. Sadly, after that her follow up projects which were hits mostly had this monotone about them. I think she has it what it takes to completely steal the thunder from everybody else but so far has played it a bit safe. This is why I love that she is playing a gangster here and maybe a bit of OCN or TVN in the future with more sort of mature, edgy and maybe even darker roles would be perfect for her.

Heirs had an absolutely fantastic supporting cast but wasted most of them - what they did to Im Joo-eun and Choi Jin-hyuk really sucked, and if Kang Haneul and Kim Ji-won came out of it with flying colours, that was largely their own doing.

(and yeah I shipped Young Do/Rachel too, they'd have been a perfect match in every way! I'm hoping Kim Woo-bin and Kim Ji-won work together as OTP someday especially now that it looks like her career might take her to a leading lady track worthy of her talent)

Slay shin hye slay.. Looking bold and so beautiful. Those fighting stances are perfect. I was already looking forward for the drama. But i didn't think it would be this impressive. But now i am mesmerized. The teaser is perfect and it has made me even more excited. I have repeated it countless times already. Its also pleasant to see kim rae won in a romantic set up. Really nice to see soft looking rae won. His smile at the end.. woah.. and shin hye is looking so beautiful like a doll.. Both him and park shin hye have such great dynamics. I am already loving their chemistry.

Wow Park Shin Hye is so beautiful. I know she's more than what she portrayed in Heirs (that's mostly KES' fault) so I'm warming up to her.
Kim Rae Won, though, I still can't shrug Junghwan out of my head. I feel like this surgeon will somehow trick the heroine for greeds (then die because of brain tumor). Such a good actor.

Did you see Pinocchio? I think she did really good in that one... She was NOT a candy, which I was so grateful for. Honestly, I suggest it, if youre trying to get the Heirs image out of your head...
Also, that BOMB kiss with Lee Jong Suk should be an incentive ;)

At least PSH cries better than Erika. The latter sounds whiny and forced during emotional scenes, although Erika has portrayed a variety of roles in comparison to PSH. (SPEC was amazing and Liar Game was iconic.)

Kim Rae Won looks hot....the school teacher to potential lover is the part that makes me uncomfortable to be honest, not the age gap because they clearly look like a good match to me. But if I can ship Ezra and Arya in PLL, I guess I can take this too given that the trailer looks fantastic to me. Park Shin Hye hasn't amazed me since You are Beautiful and this is the first time I am actively interested in her show again and she looks good kicking ass like she owns the damn world. Fingers crossed.

Yes, a teacher-student relationship is a bit uncomfortable at times. But I hope the relationships start when they are already as doctors, as in colleagues. She may have a crush on him during highschool, which is totally relatable; but the love line only happens after they both work in the same field, has similar concern and the dynamic becomes working colleagues instead of student-teacher.
It's easy to see that Ji Hong will be one of not many people whom Hye Jung could let go all of her gangster attitude. She totally smitten over him.
Doctors! Fighting!!

I wasn't really interested in this drama even though I love the cast (there are still Jisoo and Kim Minseok oh god). Everything just seemed dull and boring in the beginning and the title didn't help either. But after seeing the full character description, I think I'm in. It seems more unique now, more human too. Everybody's got a realistic past and wishes, and that's all I need.

Everything from the cast to the synopsis sounds great so far! Let's hope the scriptwriter doesn't mess this up and hope the new PD can show his awesome directing skills for his first main project.

Aside from that, the teaser looks promising and since KRW just started filming the drama right after his movie, he prob has a lot catching up.

Other than that, I can't wait for June 20 to arrive! The role PSH is doing this time seems good and promising! Can't wait to see what she has to show for the character!

It annoys me that people still bring up Heirs when it comes to PSH. It was not her fault that her character was written that way, maybe that's why I can bring myself to finish episode 1 of Decendants of the Sun because Kim Eun Sook awful writing of Heirs is stuck in my brain. PSH was wonderful in Pinocchio and I am surprised that nobody seems to remember that.
Anyway I am excited for this one, will definitely be tuning in.

I'm actually fine the former teacher/student falling in love when they reunite more than a decade later, as long as nothing happened when she was actually his student, and I like the heroine's background as a gangster, but the description of the second leads sounds so typical and annoying. Plus I don't like medical shows. Plus I read in the comments that Jisoo is in the cast, and I'm allergic to him, as people say. So... to watch or not to watch?
