Writer Im Seong-han once again does not disappoint. In his new work 'Doctor Shin,' he is drawing attention with another unique setting and development.
TV CHOSUN weekend miniseries 'Doctor Shin' (written by Phoebe (Im Seong-han), directed by Lee Seung-hoon) is a medical thriller about a genius doctor who challenges the realm of the divine and a woman whose brain is damaged overnight and who is losing her soul.
This drama, since the 14th, immediately captured viewers' attention with its shocking developments. In that broadcast, the story depicted a fateful romance beginning between genius surgeon Shin Ju-shin (played by Jung Yi-chan), who possesses near-miraculous brain surgery skills, and top actress Momo (played by Baek Seora), at the height of her popularity.
In particular, the first meeting between Shin Ju-shin and Momo was truly shocking. The atmosphere and outfits were not what one would call a blind date.
Momo appeared dressed all in black from head to toe. She wore a black dress with a high-neck frill detail that wrapped her neck and a hat with a black veil that subtly hid her face. It was an outfit one might see at a funeral.
Also, Momo told Shin Ju-shin, "I'm a mama's girl," and said, "I'm not as charming as characters in drama," and Shin Ju-shin did not back down, replying, "By that logic I'm an only child, a papa's boy," after which they toasted and drank champagne together.
A solemn atmosphere not befitting a blind date, funeral‑evoking outfits and lines that overturn expectations—such scenes are possible because this is writer Im Seong-han.
Netizens reacted with comments such as "Why is the blind date outfit like that?", "What kind of development is this?", "Is this a sitcom?", and "It makes sense as an Im Seong-han–style romantic fantasy."
Considering that scenes from dramas previously presented by writer Im Seong-han—such as using abs like a washboard to do laundry and a possessed person shooting laser beams from their eyes—are still circulated as legendary clips, viewers expect that unusual scenes will also appear in this "Doctor Shin."
