Character posters for SBS’s Sign
by javabeans
Question: If your two main characters are forensic doctors, why is one of them holding a camera in the drama poster?
Here are the character posters for the new SBS drama Sign, in which Kim Ah-joong (with said camera) plays a forensic doctor who decides to make a (slight) career change after working in the coroner’s office. Instead of investigating in labs and exam rooms, what she really wants to do is examine evidence at the scene of the crime. (Okay, I see the point of the camera. But I contend that it’s still… weird.)
The “sign” of the title reportedly refers to the traces of evidence that the forensic investigators search for at crime scenes. Kim’s poster bears the tagline: “We must grant the victims’ last wishes.”
Below, we have her co-star Park Shin-yang, who more appropriately wields a scalpel. Although one might wonder why he’s holding it up like a magician with a rose about to burst out, “Tada!”
Then it’s Eom Ji-won’s turn, who’s looking pretty sharp. She plays a successful, smart prosecutor who apparently views the doctors’ work as merely one tool for HER to use. Her poster insists that she’s really the one in charge, not those investigators. I anticipate lots of fiery clashing.
Jeon Gwang-ryul portrays a leading figure in the legal world, who’s bound to stir things up even further.
Last but not least, Jung Kyeo-woon (what happened to his HAIR?!) is a hot-blooded cop working in the violent crimes division.
Sign premieres on January 5.

"Jung Kyeo-woon (what happened to his HAIR?!)"
yeah, what the devil happened to his hair. In Dr. Champ he looked so much better. Heck even I would go for the fluffy look from Loving You a Thousand Times over this.

whaaaat? i LOVE this hair! at least - it's still somewhat short - it's cute! and definitely a departure from the look of previous roles, so he gets to separate himself a bit.
kim ah joong looks so tired though

I like the guys with short hair, i don't mind it at all. I like his look in Dr. Champ better, but not the fluffy stuff. He looks older here.

OMGAH. i am kind of excited.
for some reason, i had decided to pay ignore any news about this drama because of kim ah joong, whose acting i don't find especially compelling or appealing. i am now regretting that decision since i also happened to forget how great the rest of the cast is. i mean, one of my favorite actors evar, park shin yang, is making a comeback [FINALLY]? how could i have chosen to disregard this??
and word about jung kyeo woon's hair. his head looks a little weird with his current haircut.
i can't say that this drama's premise is reeling me in but i'll definitely be tuning into the first couple of episodes for park shin yang, jung kyeo woon and uhm ji won.

The weirdest poster for me is not Kim Ah Joong's but Park Shin Yang's. Who on earth performs autopsies in tuxes?

I can understand the camera since I'm such a crime drama bluff from US television. However, it is a strange choice for the posters as it's not a really compelling part. Anyhow, since i have a love of these things, I will give the drama a shot. I did like the jdramas that have focus on crime solving like Galileo & Mr Brain.
I'm not expecting any "new" thing that haven't already been done but as long as it holds my interest, I don't mind.

lol...Park Shin Yang looks more like an orchestra conductor from the way he is holding that scalpel and the fact that he sems to be wearing a tuxedo....is he going to be cutting open corpses in that??..Uhm Ji Won and Kim Ah Joong look hot but what did they do to Jung Kyeo Won?/....i dont dig the hair, the slight beard or even that shirt

At first I thought Kim Ah Jung cut her hair short and I strictly remembered her rejection of Coffee Prince due to her no Cutting hair policy. But well it looks like she just braided it.

Is her character a forensic doctor or is she a photographer? I understand that forensic photographers are almost the first people called to a crime scene. One of my good friends does this for a living. And boy does he have some stories! Requires a strong constitution and a very good sense of humor. I wonder if this drama will have a fun "Bones-like" tone here and there or will it be dark and serious?

I really like Eom Ji-won. I'm gonna give this drama a try bc I enjoyed EJW so much from 'The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry.'
As for Jung Kyeo-woon..his hair is... different... but ever since I watched 'Dr. Champ,' his ears continue to remind me of pointy elf ears. lol

Jung Gyeo Woon... your hair baby... what did you do to it?
I liked his hair in LYATT and in Dr. Champ... I don't mind the fluffy^^ It's endearing... his DC hair took some time for me to adjust to... but this one I don't think I will until he grows it out or something.

ooo no fav actors in this one, and no new ones either. Tho jong kyeo won might be enough potential eye candy to make me check it out WHEN I have time haha.... The plot doesn't seem interesting enough for me to be excited for it either...
