*** "Ghost Doctor" is also offering a role for Kim Bum aside from UEE who has been offered the female lead part. I hope he will take this drama offer co-starring with RAIN after Law School. The main character is actually two characters. Somehow two doctors with different backgrounds, different personalities, and different capabilities begin to share one body. Rain has been offered the role of Cha Young-min, and Kim Bum has been offered the role of Go Seung-tak. Whether Rain and Kim Bum will be combining bodies, IDK yet. The plot itself is very interesting and fun to watch. I'd be so happy to see UEE back on screen.

UPDATE :

 

 

*** Kim Bum has booked "Ghost Doctor" as his next television project and will star alongside Rain! Just today, June 30, his agency King Kong by Starship confirmed this! I highly anticipate his chemistry with RAIN. Kim Bum will appear in the drama as Go Seung-tak. He is a resident who was born into wealth and privilege and has the full support of his family. "Ghost Doctor" will center on two doctors with different backgrounds, personalities, and skills who end up merging into one body by soul possession. It will reportedly depict heartwarming stories of doctors who have died but are still looking after their patients in the hospital.

*** It seems that Kim Bum and Jo Bo Ah have been very close after they worked together in "Tale of the Nine-tailed Fox" , which ended last year since the two often interact very closely on social networks. Starting from Kim Bum’s birthday on July 7, Jo Bo Ah left messages for him and since then she frequently having comments by “dropping hearts” back and forth for KB. Kim Bum also gave Jo Bo Ah similar action on his IG. It seems like he checks Jo Bo Ah’s Instagram account regularly to know her new activities to comment or just press the like button. It seems that after the drama ended, the cast remained in close contact. NICE.

5 K-Drama Actors Who Played Villains But Are The Sweetest In Real Life

 

Have you ever seen an actor play a villain on screen and had chills run down your spine? Later, when watching them in a variety show or in the behind-the-scenes clips, you're stunned by how different they are in real life? It's always amazing to see them change on and off the screen and it speaks volumes about how incredible they are as actors.

 

Without a doubt, it takes skill to portray a negative and antagonistic character, especially considering the audience's response to the same. Here are 5 K-Drama actors who played villains on screen but are the sweetest people in real life!

 

Spoiler Alert!

 

 

1. Kim Bum

Kim Bum's Instagram

 

Kim Bum appeared as the villain in "Mrs. Cop 2" and partly in "Tale of the Nine-Tailed". While his character Lee Rang changed completely in the second half of "Tale of the Nine-Tailed", in "Mrs. Cop 2", his character Lee RoJoon gave us goosebumps. However, he's the warmest and sweetest person in real life whose smile can light up the world.

@paolaadl, thanks for sharing this. Ye, I'm glad that Kim Bum has joined the cast of the new Korean drama "Ghost Doctor" together with RAIN. He will play an intelligent and wealthy resident at a hospital. So, it's hoping to air next year. It’s NICE to work on a project that is well prepared and reasonably scheduled. Shooting a drama series could be this great. There are certain benefits that can come from the energy of real-time production but it always ends up sacrificing quality. And quality is what lasts. Early filming has been unwelcomed by local filmmakers as it is risky to secure broadcasting time and cast star actors and costs a lot.   I think that it’s right for things to change so, actors won’t stay up countless nights and work countless brutal schedules. They won’t stay up nights for weeks/months in a row. It’s really difficult to live for that long with two or three hours of sleep a night. As the system changed, actors could rest for about one day per week, and sleep about six or seven hours a night. It’s not just the actors, but also the production staff got some breathing room. I think that this is a good development - doing pre-produced drama.

***  I have always loved watching medical dramas - Playing doctor is always a fun role. Upcoming tvN drama "Ghost Doctor" has gotten a timeslot on the network. I'm thrilled to see Kim Bum in this cast as RAIN's support. I hope I can see KB as the main lead in his future dramas soon. He was really good in his last 2-dramas.

這陣容+tvN！！！

 

昨（11日）有消息，由Rain（鄭智薰）、U-IE、金汎與孫娜恩主演的新電視劇《Ghost Doctor》確定落腳tvN，目標於明年上半年播出。

 

《Ghost Doctor》為靈異醫學劇，劇情敘述兩位背景、實力與脾氣都截然不同的兩位醫師，因為靈魂附身而合為一體的故事。

 

Rain飾演擁有神乎其技醫術的天才胸腔外科醫師「車英民」，性格卻自私又自大，而金汎飾演擁有聰明頭腦，以及華麗背景的住院醫師「高成卓」。兩個人因意外事故糾纏在一起。

U-IE的角色設定尚未有有任何介紹。孫娜恩則飾演急診室實習醫師「吳秀晶」，是個一點都不像醫學出身，相信超自然現象、奇蹟和幻想的少女，她心中藏有秘密，是不顧家人反對走上了胸腔外科一路。

《Ghost Doctor》導演為《張玉貞，為愛而生》、《繼承者們》導演富聖哲，編劇為《名不虛傳》金善秀（原名金恩喜）。金善秀的名號可不輸四位主演，2017年他寫下穿越題材醫療劇《名不虛傳》大獲成功，如今再推特殊題材醫療劇《Ghost Doctor》，許多觀眾都衝著編劇名號等不及收看。得知《Ghost Doctor》將在tvN播出後，觀眾期待度更是向上提升。

I really love this actor's acting since his first drama, Rude Women. I am very interested in Asian films and literature.

@Kohaku Ito I adore him, too - I have watched almost all his dramas/movies except this 1st drama you mentioned. In fact, I have re-watched his latest, "Law School" since  I wasn't able to watch it continuously while airing in Korea since I lacked time then.   Legal dramas are a hit or miss, usually. It caters to a specific type of audience and definitely not everyone’s cup of tea. But, I love this drama. Murders and corruption aside, the drama is actually a slice-of-life drama about the life of law students. Han Joon-hwi (Kim Bum) – is the source of my weekly positive energy. As a character, Joon-hwi had so much depth, and Kim Bum portrayed him convincingly. To be honest, the drama felt dragging halfway and the revelation of Lee Man-ho as the real killer with Assemblyman Ko Hyeong-su as the main bad guy were underwhelming. “Law School‘s” main OST will stick with me for a long time. (I'm referring to this track below) We always look forward to seeing K-dramas that cover genres that we don’t usually see from Korean shows. Certainly, it’s a change of pace. I also really enjoyed Kim Myung-min’s lead performance as Yang and was a little disappointed that his character was arrested at the end of the first episode.

I don't know what to think about this tbh.

 

Well, I'm not very excited about this because: 1 - we won't be able to see modern Lee Rang (you know why) and modern LR is my favorite lol, 2 - I really think there's no need to explore their past, I'm not interested or curious about it tbh 3- this will probably affect Kim Bum's future dramas. I was so excited to see him acting in new projects with new people, I'm DYING too see him as a main lead, he deserves it SO MUCH! This way he'll be second lead for a really long time... he's the kind of actor who deserves PROTAGONISM!
