Joo Won in talks to play medical drama

Posted on May 22, 2013 by

joo won

When Joo Won confirmed that he takes the lead in romantic-comedy movie titled Only You alongside Kim Ah Joong, we seriously thought that Joo Won decided to take a break from TV drama after finished 7th Grade Civil Servant which ended with only single digit rating. Quite disappointing result after its early episodes showed good numbers and of course after the highly successful Bridal Mask.

But then , rumor has it that the 25-year-old actor is in talks to take leading role again in upcoming KBS medical drama titled Green Scalpel / Green Mass.

Oh, medical drama, how boring ! It seems that Joo Won picks a wrong drama.

But, when reading the synopsis of Green Scalpel, turns out the story will be quite different and appealing.
Green Scalpel is about autistic young man who becomes pediatric surgeon. If agree, Joo Won will play that autistic young man and actor Joo Sang Wook will take antagonist role as doctor Kim Do Han, Korean best pediatric surgeon.

Green Scalpel is scheduled to air after Shark next August.
So, Joo Won as autistic young man ? Should be interesting to see.

Two Weeks‘ story is coming from writer So Hyun Kyung who also wrote Prosecutor Princess. The story is about a a man (Lee Jun Ki) who’s’ falsely accused of a murder and then he finds out that he got a daughter with leukemia and Lee Jun Ki has to save her life in just two weeks time.
