*** Many years ago, So Ji Sub drove everyone to tears with his tragic role in “Glass Slippers”. It was this drama that was his stepping stone to stardom, and it was in this particular role that retained him into the mind of the public. And when it comes to Korean actors who marry extremely late, he will always be a prime candidate. He only married 2 years ago to his wife who's 17 years younger than him. Compared to other similar-aged male actors who always seem to be dating or have dating rumors, So Ji Sub’s love life remains a clean slate, except for his first love,  the actress Kim Hyun Joo who's  his co-star in “Glass Slippers”. Throughout his decades-long career, So Ji Sub only got involved with 2 women – his current wife Cho Eun Jung and his first love Kim Hyun Joo. While the romance between him and his current wife was officially announced, his relationship with Kim Hyun Joo happened silently. They got together way before “Glass Slippers”, when both were aspiring actors with nothing to their name. He described his ideal type as : “I like girls with beautiful legs, long hair, and around 5’5 (168cm).“ He is among the most iconic Korean male celebrities with numerous hits. His bestfriend was the late Park Yong Ha where they entered the acting industry around the same time. “We were extremely close. I couldn’t understand why he took such a drastic measure despite me always being there for him”,

 

he shared in an interview much later.  :surprisedwut:

So Ji-sub returns to small screen with 'Doctor Lawyer'

By Lee Gyu-lee

Actor So Ji-sub has made his return to the small screen with MBC's new medical legal series, "Doctor Lawyer," about four years since the action series, "My Secret Terrius," which won him the grand prize at the 2018 MBC Drama Awards.

The new series, which kicked off on Friday with a 5.2-percent viewership rating, revolves around a genius surgeon, Han Yi-han. About five years after one of his patients died during surgery, he becomes a lawyer, specializing in medical litigation.

While helping those suffering from medical malpractice and negligence, he tries to find the truth behind the surgery that changed his life and seek revenge on whoever is responsible for it.

The 16-part series is led by director Lee Yong-suk, who helmed the hit historical drama, "Iljimae," (2008), and is scripted by Jang Hong-cheol, who wrote the suspense series, "Class of Lies" (2019).

"Not only was the script intriguing, but it was also interesting that Han Yi-han has two professions: a doctor and a lawyer," the actor said during an online press conference for the series, Friday. "It sounds like two different jobs but they are similar. Doctors save people's lives in operating rooms, and lawyers do the same in courts. I came to think that I made the right choice (by joining) as I filmed the series."

The actor shared that he had difficulty preparing for the role of an expert in both the medical and legal professions.

"It was difficult. I needed a lot of practice to portray a character that had two professional backgrounds to look natural," he said. "I didn't think the terms were difficult but once I started to speak the lines, it was harder. It didn't sound natural … I rarely went to libraries to study when I was young but I went there to study and memorize scripts (for this series)."

When asked if he feels any pressure as this is the first series he took part in since winning his first top award from a major network, he thanked his co-stars, Im Soo-hyang and Shin Sung-rok.

"Not necessarily because I've won the grand prize, but I always feel nervous when I present my work (to the audience)," he said. "But luckily, I've met great actors and staff to make this series, so it feels less nervous than I've always been."

"Doctor Lawyer" airs on MBC Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
