Plastic surgeon Lee Min-ki solves a case in Face Me
by solstices
A month before its premiere, the upcoming KBS drama Face Me has started promotions with scenes from its script reading. Blending the mystery genre with a medical setting, the drama brings together a pragmatic doctor and a zealous officer to puzzle out a crime.
Lee Min-ki (Crash) stars as the elite surgeon Cha Jung-woo, whose exceptional skills have him hailed as a miracle worker. Trained in both plastic surgery and emergency medicine, Jung-woo can immediately pinpoint the damaged areas and visualize the necessary reconstruction upon seeing a patient. However, his efficiency has one drawback — he may as well be a machine, for he doesn’t connect with his patients on an emotional level.
That is, until an unexpected case brings him to a certain lady. When Jung-woo performs a reconstructive surgery on a crime victim, he winds up recruited by the detective in charge to assist with the case. She’s the violent crimes ace Lee Min-hyung, played by Han Ji-hyun (Spice Up Our Love), and she’s as empathetic as she is courageous. In the face of her relentless passion, perhaps Jung-woo’s ice-cold heart will finally begin to melt.
Joining our stoic surgeon in the hospital is his high school best friend Han Woo-jin, played by Lee Yi-kyung (Marry My Husband). In contrast to Jung-woo, the cheerfully idealistic Woo-jin dreams of gifting every girl the beauty they desire. He’s insightful yet carefree, and prudent yet gallant, making him quite the charming man. Aware of the wounds Jung-woo harbors deep within, Woo-jin is set on doing all he can to help his friend find his footing.
To round out our main cast, Jeon Bae-soo (Dear Hyeri) takes the role of Jung-woo’s mentor Kim Seok-hoon. As the director running one of the most renowned plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam, Seok-hoon extends a benevolent hand to Jung-woo after the latter finds himself caught up in a crisis. Though it’s partially out of his own business interest, Seok-hoon’s motives aren’t entirely self-serving, and he regards Jung-woo with a personable warmth.
Helmed by PD Jo Rok-hwan (Voice 2) with scripts written by Hwang Ye-jin (Secret Mother), Face Me is scheduled for a November 6 premiere.

To be completely honest, Lee Yi-kyung is the only draw here for me, but I'm not sure if I'll try this one or not... but yay for LYK getting more opportunities to be charming!!!!

Wow, she'll got a new role already? Good for her.
And good on Lee Yi Kyung for staying busy.
I'm a bit surprised a medical show is being made when the last medical show got shelved but hey, maybe this will have a more favorable time.

I wonder if the reason the other one was shelved was because the focus was on trainees which was too close to the actual dispute over wanting to increase the numbers of trainees. This one may not be seen as related to the dispute.

I like Lee Min-ki, Han Ji-hyun, medical dramas and mystery dramas, so hopefully I'll like the actual drama too.

I left NGNL wanting to see more of Han Ji-hyun and I look forward to seeing her in a role that's just a little darker...I hope this is the one.

Does Lee Min-ki always play people who have trouble connecting on an emotional level? It seems like whenever they need someone to be nerdy, competent, and distant they call him. Not that he’s bad at it, I’d just love to see him as someone who wears his heart on his sleeve or a calculating but explosive baddie or something.

It sounds like a weird patchwork between cosmetic surgery, genius surgeon, cops and crime (serial killer?)...

Happy to see Han Ji-hyun again! I've become a fan after NGNL. Also, yay, Lee Yi-kyung in a positive role.
Plot isn't my cup of tea, but I'll probably watch it for the cast.

Han Ji Hyun is adorable. I have not seen her in NGNL but I liked her in Cheer Up.

Lee Min Ki shared, "Face Me is a drama centered around solving cases through reconstructive plastic surgery for crime victims."
This part of the plot raised interest in me.

This one has my name written all over it. I love the cast, I love medical dramas and I don't care what else they throw in there as long as we get emotional growth with the characters and fun plot throw ins. I can laugh at medical plot holes and I like to see if they can at least try to be accurate with them. You know, being a nurse and all, its fun! Did I mention Lee Min-ki? The cast is great!

This is a pleasant surprise. It would perhaps would not have been on my radar just because of the story but I am 💯 sold on this because of the cast. Especially Lee Yi-kyung and his character still. 😍👍🏻 Bring it on folks.

Sign me up for this. November is too far😭
Lee min ki dramas is a must watch for me, m just happy he is not the detective this time, plastic surgeon is refreshing and Han Ji hyun is my new favorite. With le yi kyung on the cast, the director knows me too well. Not watched any of the writers drama but even if she wrote love next door that I just suffered though. Anything for oppa😊
