Cha Tae Hyun and Kim Jung Eun are reunited as a screen couple again 10 years after Sunflower !

STORYLINE :

A young woman passed the bar examination so that she could become a lawyer who helps patients in malpractice cases decides to join a residency after she completes her internship. Then there is the passionate man who is dedicated to saving lives even though he graduated at the bottom of his class in medical school. This drama revolves around the lives of these two people who are 3rd year interns at the same hospital as they mature in their careers.

The drama will show the camaraderie among fellow doctors and the tensions and relationships that develop in their lives as they work hard to cure patients. Their personal challenges and down-to-earth qualities will warm the hearts of viewers.

Choi Jin-sang (1st year of residency) / actor Cha Tae-hyun

His mother who works at a ranch wishes that he’ll become a professor at medical school but during his six years of medical school and first year as an intern, he constantly got into trouble and his grades were at the bottom of the class. When he joins the residency, his fellow colleagues are Hyun-woo, who was always at the top of his class, and Ha-yoon, who passed the bar examination. At the outset, he faces a tough situation. He lacks in every way as a doctor but he’ll go to great lengths to save a patient’s life.

Jung Ha-yoon (1st year of residency) / actress Kim Jung-eun

After passing the bar examination upon graduating from law school, she decides to join the residency program at a general hospital as a way to prepare herself to become a lawyer who specializes in malpractice cases. With memories of her dad who died from a botched operation, she is compassionate towards patients and has a critical view towards doctors who compromise their values. But while working with her colleagues, she gradually becomes a doctor in her own way and her views also change.

Baek Hyun-woo (1st year of residency) / actor Ryu Jin

In medical school, he was the top student and Ki-tae recruits him to join the medical research team. He’s an impassionate thinker but he does have a good heart. When Ha-yoon needs help in finding a kidnapper, he does his best to track down the criminal. He develops feelings for her as he helps her in every way he can.

Kang Eun-ji (1st year of residency) / actress Koh Joon-hee

She helped Jin-sang whenever he got in trouble during medical school. During exams, she would share her notes with Jin-sang. But Jin-sang is not aware that she has a crush on him. Though she is glad that Jin-sang is showing himself to be a promising doctor, sshe starts to get worried when Jin-sang and Ha-yoon keep getting into petty arguments...

Kim Do-hoon (Staff doctor) / actor Lee Jae-ryong

After working for just one year in his residency, he is asked to join the medical staff as a staff doctor. He was once a handful but now he mentors younger doctors. He has a warm heart and one time, he left in the middle of a demonstration for a $20 million state-of-the-art medical device to operate on a patient in the emergency room. He’s a doctor who is dedicated to his work of saving lives and that means he is not so keen on advancing his career.

Han Ki-tae (Staff doctor) / actor Lee Jong-won

Having the right connections, he’s a star doctor at Sungui University Hospital who is admired by his peers for his skills. Although he is one of the top surgeons in Korea, he selectively chooses the patients he’ll operate on to keep his career unblemished. He becomes the head of a medical research team that is supported by the hospital and becomes adversaries with Do-hoon who has different principles.

Song Hye-soo (ER department staff) / actress Doh Ji-won

As a senior doctor at the ER, where there’s always an emergency happening, she is a skilled surgeon who makes quick calculated decisions. She is a perfectionist at work but also has a softer side that she reveals when she’s around Do-hoon.

Original medical drama "General Hospital" joins rank for season two

[image=sportseoul/naver]

MBC drama "General Hospital" that drew so much popularity in the mid 1990s will be broadcast again after 12 years.

"General Hospital", which aired for two years from February 1994 to March 1996, can be called the original medical drama and held a record viewing of 43.0%.

Lee Jae-ryong, who was the resident, will be the main character in season two, and Choi Wan-gyoo (of "Jumong"), who wrote season one, will write season two.

Season two of "General Hospital" will be aired at the end of this year.

[Guest hyunskee]

YESHHH!!

another medical drama!!!

my FAV!!!

[shulien]

FINALLY! a KJE series.

oh my i love some of her co-stars...CTH and Lee Jong Won...

[shulien]

i think the filming of this series will start in September and not on July 9th.

it says '종합병원 2'는 오는 9월 중순께 촬영을 시작할 예정이다. that means GH2 will start filming this coming Sept.

[Guest huangsy]

Continued Press Conference pictures of 12 Nov 2008, without the doctors' coat.

[Guest plumangel3]

thanks for starting the thread

i'll be checking this out for KJE im so glad to see her in another project!

[Guest SH<3]

I love the cast (:

Can't wait for this drama.

[Guest ovette]

nice!!

love the main leads!

[Guest AlecRuby]

lovely cast!

i can't wait to watch this one too.

i love hospital dramas!

[Guest Happy_Day]

LOL I actually remember watching Sunflower with my mom when I was really little!!

Kim Jung Eun was a patient I think, and she was BALD coz she shaved her head for the role - I think she played a girl with mental problems coz she was acted like a "dumb" little kid. And ChaTaeHyun was a really soft-hearted and goofy doctor who fell in love with his patient.

I wonder if Kim Jung Eun will shave her head again. Probably not coz she's so popular now, and back then she was really desperate as an actress.

haha! KJE desperate as an actress...SUNFLOWER was her debut and she shaved her head not because she was desperate...but because her character asked for it. if she were desperate shouldn't she have resorted to nudity to get noticed?

well anyway, if your were reading the synopsis of General Hospital 2 which is in the news section, this is all about the world of doctors. so why would KJE shave her head for this series when she is one of the doctors in the story.

i feel bad that everybody is expecting KJE in this series, just because Sunflower was mentioned in the article, is "will she shave her head again?"

i think huangsy, with the title of your thread you are misleading people. the article clearly stated it will be GENERAL HOSPITAL Season 2...never did the news mention it will also be called SUNFLOWER 2...they only cast two of the actors from SUNFLOWER and they are KJE and CTH.

KimJung Eun was desperate as an actress, I specifically remember her interviews back then. She had a hard time getting recognized as an actress, and she was so desperate to gain status that she was brave enough to shave her head for the role - which you'll have to admit is a very hard thing to do for an actress to do. I don't know a lot of Korean actresses who will do that for a drama. Why would she have accepted a role that required her to shave her head if she was not desperate? I don't mean "desperate" as a bad thing.

And I think I was the only one who asked the question "Will she shave her head again," so no need to complain about that. The only reason I thought this was because I thought since this drama is called "Sunflower 2" it would be a CONTINUED drama of the first one, not a remake. Of course, wouldn't she have to shave her head again if it was so? It would be weird if she had long hair as a cancer patient.

You don't have to be so mean.

Must be a misunderstanding. Cheers everyone.

This drama is called "General Hospital 2", season 2 of 1994-1996 drama "General Hospital".

Noted and I have updated but I had originally included Sunflower in the title because that drama's sequel is now called General Hospital 2, hence, fans of Sunflower can make the connection and come to this thread.

김정은과 차태현은 1998년 '해바라기' 이후 10년 만에 병원에서 다시 만난다.

[Guest kdramafanusa]

^ My understanding is that this is the sequel to "General Hospital" (starting from 1994) which was also written by Choi Wan-kyoo; this sequel's been talked about for a while now. "Sunflower" (PD Lee Jin-suk, script by Choi Jin-won & In Jung-ok) is a different medical drama (from 1998) in which Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Jung-eun played supporting roles; Ahn Jae-wook & Kim Hee-sun became so popular in China b/c of this drama. Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Jung-eun are co-starring again 10 years later in "General Hospital 2".

Anyway, it's mentioned that they're still casting for several main characters. I wonder who they will be.
