SBS’s new midweek drama OB-GYN
by javabeans
SBS is a couple weeks from airing its new Wednesday-Thursday drama OB-GYN [산부인과 여의사], starring Jang Seo-hee, the recent Daesang winner for her role in Wife’s Temptation.
I hadn’t even known that Song Joong-ki was cast in this, which is news that has me conflicted; I love him and find him adorable, but I have no great desire to watch this drama, which takes the timeslot over from Will It Snow For Christmas against Chuno and The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry. He takes a supporting role here as a second-year resident.
Jang Seo-hee plays a talented ob-gyn (obstetrics and gynecology doctor); she has a romantic plotline with two younger men: one is her friend, played by Seo Ji-seok (Pure 19), and the other is a pediatrician at the same hospital, played by Go Ju-won (Infamous Chil Princesses).
Song Joong-ki’s character shows a different personality than he’s shown previously. For instance, compared to the calm, mature “Ji-yong” role in Will It Snow For Christmas, which gets him regularly recognized now, his OB-GYN character is scatterbrained: “Actually, Kyung-woo [in OB/GYN] is more similar to my real personality than Ji-yong was.”
Directing is PD Lee Hyun-jik of SBS dramas Tazza and Lobbyist, and writing is Choi Hee-ra, who appears to have no former credits. (So… I’m not exactly hopping up and down in excitement.) OB-GYN premieres on February 3.

LOL. Is SJK even old enough to be a real first-year resident? He's a youngster!
I'm not particularly interested in this.. I've never liked medical dramas. :x

the only reason why i would watch this is because of Song Joong-ki who is ADORABLE and pretty hot lol xD other than that not really interested. I normally love medical shows but for some reason i don't like the korean ones for some reason =/

Song Joong-ki -- another '85er -- ooh, that was a good year. ^^ But too young to be a resident unless the korean educational system speeds that up bigtime. OTOH, how nice for babies to have SJK be the first face they see in the world. ^^ I loved him in the 2008 weekend drama My Precious Child.
I think there have been some very good Korean medical dramas: White Tower, Surgeon Bong Dal-hee, Daejangeum :)

I probably won't watch this drama, but I love Song Joong-ki too. He has a face like a daisy; all you have to do is look at him and you're smiling, even when he looks as serious as he does in these pics. He is adorable and I always get such a happy vibe from him, he's just so chill!

As everyone else has already pointed out: EEEEEE SONG JOONG KI!!! <3
Worth a shot. I've never watched a korean medical drama (only a few snippets of Dae Jang Geum), so maybe about time I tried.
SONG JOONG KI!!!! ^^

ah crap... now I have to watch this...
I've only seen one Korean medical drama so far (the one with Cha Tae Hyun) and the characters in it were quite annoying even though I do like CTH... nothing beats Egawa Ryosuke's Emergency Room (don't know if I got the English title right).
maybe I'll just fast forward to the parts with Song Joong Ki in it...
Speaking of medical dramas, House is still one of the best there is.

What a strange name for a drama, at least the English translation of it.
...I wonder if guys would be deterred from watching... Hmmm.

I saw some previews yesterday,and it looks to be disturbingly "real",with lots of blood splattered around,and avert-your-eyes surgery scenes with very authentic "dummys"

I have been waiting for Seo Ji Suk's comeback after "Pure 19" and his military service. Although I don't like medical dramas myself, I would try and check this one out, out of loyalty to SJS.
