Like Dr. Frost, but less procedural? Hmm. Well, I wasn't interested at all before, but if Jang Hyuk signs on I'll at least check it out.

So this will be against SBS' Doctors. Both drama about neurosurgeons.

I thought he tried not emoting in Iris 2 and that didn't go so well...

please just call it off. this drama sounds terribly from the start.

It's premiering this may and has still not got it's cast finalized..? errr....

I would see anything with Jang Hyuk in it! Problem is, he is currently filming a drama in China. Would he be able to make his schedule for this?

Girlfriday totally beat me to it because the first thing I thought too was how weird it would be to see an unemotional Jang Hyuk. Talk about casting against type. I wonder if he could even do that?

tall beautiful neurosurgeon who looks like model and does not emote....sounds like a good plot for LMH... but not much for Jang Hyuk as he is plain looking no offence.The brain damage, was it acquired or congenital? any backstory about that?

Have you guys seen Jang Hyuk's movie The Client with Ha Jung Woo and Park Hee Soon? He played a stoic psychopath murderer and he did that character well, it was quite scary and twisted. But this plot line sounds bad right now.

I don't complaint cuz I never watched him in a drama. its like he never exist....lalalala

I'm sorry, but this whole thing sounds like a hot mess. I personally have no interest in a storyline whose main character is a scalpel wielding psychopath, because psycho-social defects this grave (much less those which stem from serious brain damage) can not be "cured" by love. Seriously? A "medical" drama that, from the get-go, so ridiculously disregards basic medicine, would be almost laughable if it didn't already insult the viewer's intelligence. And how is such a nightmare-inducing character supposed to engender the (in my view, pre-requisite) emotional investment from viewers? On those points alone, I completely understand why so many top actors would pass on such a role.

Don't do it, Jang Hyuk!

I hope he turns it down and the writer/producer lets this drama die. Nobody wants to do it for a reason. Just let it go.

maybe a korean hannibal lecter? but dr. lecter was a psychiarist...hmm...

Can Jang Hyuk top the creepiness of Anthony Hopkin's HAnnibal?

Let us wait and see....

"You know what might be entertaining on a meta level? Watching Jang Hyuk not emote. I think I want him to sign on, just to see what that’s like."

Totally, agree on this! I wonder how he will pull it off. Definitely a challenge to him and he should accept the offer =). Can he do a T-1000 acting, (the android villain in Terminator Judgment Day)? Whatever happened, his face never changes. I think the director is quite good in controlling it. Hope they get a good director

The plot sounded good up until the 'love cures all' bit. If this was a jdrama, we'd only have a psychopath for the full run but......gotta get that romance in. -_-"

I love Jang Hyuk. Before I knew him as a man with a crazy laugh, I knew him as being deadly serious so I have no doubt in his ability to pull off playing a psychopath.

KMHM was also rejected by many actors before JS got it. So i think we shouldn't write this off just becoz it was rejected by many.

Sounds like a character perfect for Yoo Ah In. Too bad he rejected (hmm probably not so bad lol) Or the likes who had experience with playing villains well.

I just recalled that I Remember You was full of psychopaths, but somehow I couldn't see how they'd fit as this character despite how good they were.
Probably because the character I imagined is the less-creepy version of Nam Kyu Man meets cold mysterious poker-faced Yoo Jung sunbae.

I think Park Hejin would be a great choice since the doctor is a handsome psycho
But I don't think the producer offered to him or he'll accept the offer to play another psycho (he did it once in bad guys)

Is it time for his tri-annual match up with Lee Da Hae?

Why do i have a feeling that yoo seung ho would fit perfectly for the role? He's good at playing villain characters..

This plot errr. I don't trust KBS for these kind of stories, maybe if this was an OCN drama I would give this a go and all my trust. If the male lead is a psychopath in the beginning because of brain damage then let him be a psycho, I wouldn't want to see him change because of the power of love, if he's a dark character from the beginning let him be! Dark characters are sometimes more interesting that the good typical kdrama hero.

I know it's kind of an extreme wish, but can I dream that maybe Jang Nara will sign on this one?

I'd really like to see them do another drama together, since they share a very special kind of onscreen chemistry...

Well, man can dream, right?

KBS has clarified that Choi Jin Hyuk and Lee Je Hoon were never courted for this drama.

This plot sounds unsalvageable. Love doesn't actually cure any kind of medical problem, but if the guy literally can't feel emotion due to a brain injury, then he's not going to fall in love, period. The only way to do it is to say that his doctors thought he couldn't feel emotion, but they were wrong and it was actually just psychological trauma, not the brain injury. Which then totally undercuts the whole psychopath thing.

No feelings? It might be fun to see him play without that weird laugh.
