But really, get over tunnel? Never. Haha yehhh, can he be a warm hearted, warm eyed gruff doctor that only calls people with "you punk" or "hey kid" please! Pretty please!?

heol...now that am a strong choi jin hyuk fan..am excited for his casting news but i feel you @girlfriday...i still want to think of him as our park kwang ho and am not yet ready to let go. haha. But since i want him to be successful in his career and this drama doesn't sound bad..i hope he takes it coz i'll have choi jin hyuk on my screen any day anytime.

Warm hands? Let me imagine ? them...

haha, if he's a good actor, then he'll make you love his next role too so no worries.

Hey he's been a doctor before so let's see how he will portray this warm doctor! :) hwaiting

Nooo, you already did a medical drama. You can't do this to me again.

I just finished Tunnel last night and I'm still not over it. I want him to be Kwang Ho forever too. He's my new favorite Choi Jin Hyuk character. The premise sounds good for Hospital Ship but medical dramas tend to bore me. I'm happier when actors I'm less interested in join them so I don't feel compelled to watch. With that being said, I'd still give it a chance.

Warm doctor? That actually fits him pretty well.

It sounds like the Japanese drama. Don't remember the title though. Haha

As long as he smiles a lot, I'll be happy ?

I would watch anything with HJW in it. With CJH, it's cherry on top of the cake.

Choi Jin Hyuk seems to pair up with noona well. Before Song Ji Hyo now Ha Ji Won.

I loved Choi Jin Hyuk as Kwang Ho in Tunnel and I'll never get over it. He was also great in Emergency Couple with Song Ji Hyo and Pride and Prejudice with Baek Jin Hee. That only goes to show how he can portray so many different characters with the same type of humor. I loved his shows and this one with Ha Ji Won is a must watch.

But I haven't been able to properly grieve Tunnel :( it's gonna take more than the summer to get over this show

I don't think I'll ever be over Tunnel, it made it's way into my top 10 favorite dramas! I can't imagine him playing another character yet but I'm so happy for him! If he says yes then I'll definitely be watching this!

Now, can anyone give Yoon Hyun-min a leading role, too?

"warm hands, warm eyes, and above all, a warm heart" and "caring but not soft, and strong but not offending" fits Choi Jin-hyuk perfectly. And since I am already missing his face, I am ready for a speedy return of him to tv land.

I just squealed out loud! Loved him after seeing him for the first time in Tunnel. He totally fits the warm, caring doctor role.

I really like Ha Ji Won too. She needs a good drama after the awful The Time We Were Not In Love.

But dang, that writer though. I couldn't finish Secret Door.

Love him and would love to see him in another drama asap but.... this drama sounds so boring compared to Tunnel... So I hope he waits a bit and goes for something better hehe!

Sooo can Hyun Min play like an awesome buddy doctor along CJH? ? Ugh this Tunnel withdrawal I swear.

Yay! It's always good news to see more of Chou Jin Hyuk.

If he's in this drama, then I'm definitely watching it. I've liked him since Pasta, and though I admit some of his roles have been hit or miss for me, Tunnel ignited my love for him again. And I'm excited to see where he'll go with this new character. Plus with Ha Ji Won, what could go wrong?

This sounds like a Japanese drama I watched a couple of years ago. I'll have to see if I can track the name of it down.

Its more likely to hit the iron while its still hot. N a character this warm n kind.. I can already imagine him the tall handsome hot doctor with a heart of gold.. My only hesitation is the scriptwriter.. Not familiar with her works

yay for this! more Choi Jin-Hyuk please! and excited to see one of my girl crushes again- Ha Ji-Won.

I was a fan of him before, but after Tunnel, he became a must-watch actor for me. So YES. Take the role. Make me lose more sleep.

I think this has the same plot as a J-drama called "umi no ue no shinryojo" played by matsuda shota and takei emi? I watched that drama from beginning until the end therefore I immediately recognized the main story. Or maybe it's just a coincidence because there's no story about it being a remake. Still, if it has the same story as the J-drama, then that means there will be mystery by the end of the drama and I couldn't wait for it to air!

oh count me IN! the drama gods have heard my hearts (and eyes) plea to have CJH back ASAP! i will love tunnel forever but really, CJH forever! so happy to have him back in our lives. <3

I hope he accepts it! I like the character description for this drama, and at least he's not playing a cold chaebol lol. And i'm a Ha Ji Won fan so i'm excited to see both of them together.

Well... I'm ready to watch him anytime... :)

Literally just finished watching the last episode of Tunnel minutes ago and I see this wonderful news! Oh man, let me finish crying because I'm still reeling from how amazing Tunnel was!!!

I always knew Choi Jin Hyuk was someone to look out for...I've watched pretty much everything he's been in. I know he's played a doctor before (Emergency Couple) but hoping this is a bit different from his role in that.

Eeeeeeppp!! Yay! Loving Choi Jin-hyuk in Tunnel rn, so I'm happy to see that I might get to see more of him after I finish the show. It's even more exciting that he may possibly costar alongside Ha Ji-won–In a medical! Kyyyaaaa~ His character description already has my heart, what with all the warm and fuzzies! Gaaahhh, he sounds perfect! ... Almost TOO perfect... Hehe, I can totally see Choi Jin-hyuk being all of the above and making me ~melt~.

I can barely sit through medical dramas, the last I watched was Yong Pal. Please don't make me watch another medical drama.

Honestly, I wish it was a different lead actress* but the role seems perfect for him. I've loved Jeon Hye Bin in the things she's done. So maybe her.

*I have a really big problem with actresses/actors who throw their co-leads under a bus when they're stuck in a bad project. HJW foot-acted her way through TTILY, as soon it became clear that the powers-that-be were going to ruin the show. Similarly Park Hae Jin is forever on my **** list for how he handled the awful directoral decisions in Cheese. Throwing a colleague (who's just doing what he's told) to the media/public wolves is never ok. I can't respect people who are willing to be so profoundly unprofessional. They're both going to have to show better professional character before I'll ever be enthusiastic about them again.

It's nice to know I'm in good company-- when I read this post's title, I nearly shrieked, "No... I'm not ready to let go of Kwang-ho yet!". I think we all want to make sure Kwang-ho doesn't get yanked away from his family again. I'll just have to see them as living in a parallel universe to this drama's.

Medical dramas aren't my favorite, but I actually really dig this premise. I hope the writing is good because it sounds like it could be very touching. And I'm already squeeing at the thought of all the crinkly-eyed smiles his character is sure to make. I sure hope he accepts, 'cause now I'm all excited about the prospect.

YES PLEASE

I'm just so happy that so many people have jumped on this Choi Jin-hyuk fan ship. I can't do medical dramas though, so too bad. I'd like it if he only did mysteries but but hey, if this drama ends up being good then all the best to CJH.

Please and thank you! I need this confirmed as soon as possible. I'm still shooting Ha Ji Won residual side-eye after her last drama. Anything that makes me forget that travesty is gladly welcomed.

I agree with you. I want to think of him as KwangHo for a long time. Not yet over Tunnel.

Choi Jin Hyuk oppa is on a roll! ?

i dont know about this. i think it's better for him to take some time before venturing into another drama. his image as Park Kwang Ho is too strong to shift to another character.

I'm not gonna lie, I don't like doctor dramas (all that death you see), but this sounds AMAZINGa and Choi Jin Hyuk is a definite plus.

I'm really excited about HJW in this. Girl crush.

It's been a while I found a good medical drama. This one hopefully will break the negative streak.

I've enjoyed most the medical dramas I've watched so far. I am very looking forward to this.

god he was such a cute doctor in emergency couple LOL

ohh emergency couple vibes! hehe
