'닥터신' Song Ji In and Gee Young-san raise tension with an
The recently airing TV CHOSUN weekend miniseries '닥터신' (written by Phoebe (Im Seong-han), directed by Lee Seung-hoon) is a medical thriller drama about a genius doctor who challenges the domain of gods and a woman whose brain suddenly deteriorates and loses her soul overnight.
'닥터신' rose to the top 2, jumping an astonishing three spots from the previous week in the TV-OTT search response for dramas in the third week of March on the topicality index released by K-content competitiveness analysis institution Good Data Corporation. In the drama search issue keyword cast section, Jeong I-chan, Baek Seora, Joo Se bin, and An Woo Yeon ranked 5th, 6th, 8th, and 9th respectively, an unusual feat in which the main cast of '닥터신' swept the charts. In addition, it has proven explosive topicality by ranking 5th overall in the daily and weekly sections of KinoLite's "trend ranking," an OTT integrated search and content topicality metric.
In particular, the last broadcast hinted at the tangled past relationship between Hyeon Ran-hee (portrayed by Song Ji In) and Paul Kim (portrayed by Gee Young-san), which aroused curiosity. Hyeon Ran-hee, whose brain was swapped with her daughter Momo's, sent Paul Kim a text saying, "If you find her...tell her that mom is very sorry...be sure to find her," just before her body, which had Momo's (portrayed by Baek Seora) brain, was about to die, raising suspicion. Afterwards, when Paul Kim received news from a detective agency saying, "It seems we found your daughter," attention focused on who the biological daughter of Hyeon Ran-hee and Paul Kim might be.
Relatedly, in episode 5 of '닥터신' to be broadcast on the 28th, Song Ji In and Gee Young-san face a "catastrophic confrontation" in which they meet with completely different expressions and emotional lines. Before the brain change surgery between Momo and Hyeon Ran-hee in the drama, Hyeon Ran-hee brings wine to Paul Kim for an exhibition. Hyeon Ran-hee emits a provocative smile with a determined look in her eyes, and Paul Kim, maintaining an expression without a trace of a smile, suddenly bursts into anger. The scene raises curiosity about what story lies between the two.
Meanwhile, Song Ji In and Gee Young-san prepared more thoroughly than ever for the "catastrophic reunion" scene by meticulously matching the rhythm of lines and emotional beats before filming. Song Ji In detailed the emotional gap of Hyeon Ran-hee, who smiles brightly out of interest in Paul Kim and then freezes in shock. Gee Young-san captured Paul Kim, who releases all the suppressed emotions he had endured into an explosion of anger, with a subtly trembling gaze and breath, heightening anticipation for the scene.
The production team said, "This scene will be a nuclear bomb moment that allows viewers to infer the relationship between Hyeon Ran-hee and Paul Kim," and added, "Please watch Song Ji In and Gee Young-san's passionate performances that lead immersion into the characters in '닥터신' to the utmost, from their hairstyles to dramatic outward transformations."
Meanwhile, episode 5 of '닥터신' will air on Saturday the 28th at 9:10 p.m. due to a broadcast relation with Korea's national soccer team coverage, and episode 6 will air on Sunday the 29th at 10:30 p.m.
