Kim So-yeon takes on Dr. Champ
by | July 13, 2010 | 47 Comments

Prosecutor Princess‘s Kim So-yeon has lined up her new drama series, and it’s SBS’s Dr. Champ, which is a title that just makes me laugh. I suspect that’s not the intended effect.

Dr. Champ is a “sports medical drama” that is set at Taereung National Village, which is the Olympic training ground for national athletes. Kim So-yeon plays an orthopedic doctor who transfers to Taereung after she’s kicked out from her job at a hospital for divulging her supervisor’s malpractice case. There, she meets up with a reckless judo athlete, with whom she naturally falls into a romantic entanglement. Which, then, is complicated further by a third leg to this triangle, a director at Taereung.

Jung Kyeo-woon (Loving You A Thousand Times) plays the judo athlete.Dr. Champ will follow I Am Legend and airs in October.

    yayyyyy! kim so yeon’s drama!!!

    hope she’ll show another side of herself that’s far from the cool IRIS or bubbly PP persona

  2. faan

    Wow, love the dark vibes in that picture. She looks smoking hot whether she’s ready to kick some ass (IRIS) or buy some ridiculously expensive shoes (Prosecutor Princess).

  3. myra

    new drama for her yay! now i can’t wait to know who the male lead is :D

  4. obivia

    I hope that’s a working title~

    My God, she’s so beautiful! I really like her hairstyle (I can’t get a cut like that. I’d be horrible) she looks the best like that imho. /shallow note.

    As for the drama, um, I’m not much attracted by sports drama and this one even throws the medical angle into the mix so no, I’m not giddy about it. Still, I’ll probably watch it for her. She’s one of my favorite actresses. *g*

  6. Kay

    *woot woot* another KSY drama! From an NK agent to a Prosecutor to a Doctor. Cool! I cannot wait to see her take on this role.

    Kim So Yeon <3 <3
    looooove her so much! Super talented, cute, and beautiful!!

    I loved her in Prosecutor Princess, but I’m not exactly thrilled about this upcoming drama. Judging from the description “sports-medical drama”, I don’t think it will be very original or the greatest step for her career. All the same, I’m hoping it will be a success for her sake and exceed my very low expectations.

    Ooooh! O___o

    I love this picture of Kim So Yeon because she look more coooollleeeerrr AND toooooo dark vibes at her different side — but I like this!

    I was really excited to hear that she signed into a new Kdrama until I read the last part.

    I absolutely hate Jung Kyeo-woon!!!! The same as I hate Yul from GOONG! Guess I will be skipping this!!!

  11. 11 aX

    I really hope somehow that she drops from this Kdrama because like someone else mentioned, the storyline doesn’t exactly make any impact. Seem like it’s going to go down to the mediocre category…

    Still so dissappointed that Jung Kyeo-woon is in this Kdrama. Makes it that much worst!!! I wish she’d pick something more… promising and challenging. This one seem so predictable. I’m just dissappointed especially after watching IRIS who didn’t make her character, Sunhwa, substantial enough!

  12. 12 Annie

    I am happy and sad at the same time……………………………..

  13. 13 myra

    OK I didn’t see the name earlier OMGGG it’s JGW???? I’m all for it!! I loved him in WITS. Well of course PSH and LBH are way hotter lol but JGW isn’t bad either

  14. 14 Annie

    @ aX
    I agree with you. The drama doesn’t look promising, why can’t they give her a better leading male (one that is more famous)

  15. 15 splgt001

    Kim So-yeon has proven to be a versatile actress. I am hoping she will give us one more super cool character to cheer for.

    About the title Dr. Champ? Although I do remember Prosecutor Princess being called Mata-Hari.

    Thanks for the post JB. I am so excited. First OML, Coffee House, I am Legend and now this….all with career oriented, strong, independent women. Awesome.

  16. 16 maez

    I ABSOLUTELY love her. Especially in IRIS.

  17. 17 jusash

    KSY looks gorgeous in the picture. hair cut, hair color, make up et al.
    And in black. Then again, I am biasedly partial to these shades.

    (I couldn’t stand her PPrincess look or fashion sense at all)

    Liked Jung Gyo-woon in LYA1000x although that drama became really tortorous to continue with … so, in the rare camp of those looking forward to this.

  18. 18 :D

    she looks so COOL in that picture

  19. 19 Rika

    but funny titles..

  37. 37 dorispngPinas

    though I have seen Kim Seo Yeon in only 2 dramas, Iris and PP, I have learned to love Kim Seo Yeon as an actress, and though this one’s plot seems to be boring to me I’ll still take a peek just to see how she brings to life her (seems to be) boring character plus this drama have Jung Kyeo Woon as the judo athlete, at least I’ll not die of boredom coz for sure there will be lots of choco abs moments and JKW definitely has one of the best there in Kdrama world, that’s how I survived watching Loving You a Thousand Times to the last eps!

  38. 38 dramacafe

    I’ve got mixed emotions on this one.

    I’m not so digging the title.

    The plot and KSY’s character here seems to be bordering on boring.

    I love KSY but feels indifferent towards JKW so for the sake of KSY I’ll try to watch it.

    The series being described as “sports medical drama” is so not going well in my brain. Sports and medical — not so mixy for me.

    Hope all goes well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

  39. 39 sapooo

    i hope this drama will be success even the plot not much interesting.
    bcoz i love kim so yeon a lot.

  40. 40 lalalala

    kim so yeon is best actress for me but the plot seem uninteresting.
    but looking forward too for this drama.

  41. 41 amatea

    yippi, i’m waiting for KSY’s new drama
    Who is the scirpt writer for Dr.Champ ?
    From the syonpsis that I read, I think that KSY will be a very brave girl and always take something seriously.
    And the lead male has the opposite side.
    I hope the drama can’t be so easy to guess what will happen next :)

    Keep Fighting KSY

  42. 42 kim

    i want this drama…
    i love the female lead..kim so yeon unni….

  43. 43 cheryl

    Yippee, my underrated fav actress of all times KSY is getting more roles. She has the talents and beauty to match but for lack of opportunities. Hope her star will continue to shine. Loved her fr “Sunlight upon me”.

  44. 44 Rita (Tarits)

    Oh KSY is a very good actress, I am sure she will do well again in her new drama.

  45. 45 iie ae

    as long as kim so yeon as the lead, i will looking forward for this drama..
