KBS's upcoming medical drama Good Doctor (formerly called Green Scalpel) is amassing a pretty decent lineup, with a number of actors I quite like: Joo-won, Moon Chae-won, and Joo Sang-wook. And I also do like its latest addition, Kim Min-seo, who has turned in solid performances in numerous dramas, such as The Moon That Embraces the Sun, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and Baby Faced Beauty.
And yet, I hear Kim Min-seo and Joo-won in the same breath and my mind immediately snaps to an association I've been trying my hardest to forget about, aka their recent disaster of a drama, Level 7 Civil Servant. And all of a sudden I'm no longer thinking about autistic savant surgeons and kind-hearted colleagues and touching human drama, but whether they'll be ragingly incompetent at this career too and acting like hormone-ravaged 13-year-olds who get petulant when their crushes go unrequited. If she jokingly brandishes a scalpel at her fellow doc's throat and tee-hees that it's just a joke, I swear…
In Good Doctor, Kim Min-seo will play Joo Sang-wook's fiancée, which either means he won't be having a love triangle with Moon Chae-won and Joo-won after all, or he isn't a very good fiancée. I… think it'll be more of the latter, since early descriptions definitely mentioned a love triangle in the works. Well, maybe oppa didn't mean it.
Kim Min-seo's character is a manager on the planning board for a large university hospital. As the only daughter to the foundation's director, she's keenly aware of the nepotism prejudice and proves her worth by being cool-headed, capable, and assertive. She's also hiding some kind of pain, but in dramaland isn't everybody?
Good Doctor premieres on August 5 on KBS.
