Kim Ah-joong takes the lead in medical investigation drama
by javabeans
A year after her last television series (Accidental Couple), Kim Ah-joong is back in drama-land with Heaven, the project recently announced as Park Shin-yang‘s comeback vehicle.
The drama, which purportedly explores a “new human medical investigative genre” format, follows doctors who perform autopsies at the National Scientific, Criminal & Investigation Laboratory, which explains the allusion to death in the title. The plot will unfold around the mysterious cases that come their way, which includes a huge conspiracy that Kim uncovers that takes a central role in the drama’s plot. So… C.S.I meets suspense thriller, with a dash of Grey’s Anatomy?
Kim’s character is always making tons of mistakes and therefore getting scolded by her sunbae (Park), a prickly perfectionist. Naturally, romance ensues. Despite sometimes being careless, she also displays a “cute and lovable” appeal, as well as being a dogged problem-solver.
The series will be directed by Jang Hang-joon of 2002’s Break Out, whose work is characterized by a “unique directing style.” Heaven is planning for an early 2011 airdate and will begin shooting in November.

Why can't it ever be a prickly perfectionist woman with a sweet, clumsy younger man?

The more is known about this drama, the better it sounds. Since I love CSI, LV, a must see.... It sounds like a M.E. drama....

Aww, I love her. Not so sure about this premise or the character descriptions, but I have no doubt she'll play her role well; she was super cute in 200 Pound Beauty.

cute and lovable can be interpreted in so many ways...
Hopefully it's charming and not annoying that they're shooting for.
I'm not that into medical dramas (American or Foreign) but maybe with this splash of mystery, it will be intriguing.

I always have hopes on Kim Ah Joong to reach higher (in terms of acting). Look forward to the pairing of her and Park Shin Yang!

P.S. This isn't a burn or an insult... It's pure, unsatisfied curiosity.

I don't think so. I think I read somewhere before that she admitted that she had a surgery.
(none taken. I hope this comment doesn't sound offending either.)

Looking forward to her new show although I don't like the male lead.

I'm looking forward to it - see how it is based on reviews. Old stuff for US but I am still a sucker for crime solving shows - from Matlock, Law & Orders, CSIs, Bones, CM... you name it. I watch them. I also liked the few that I saw that were jdramas - nothing quite as well done as US productions but still nice to see something in that direction. Will be interesting to see how this one turns out.

You should check out Chosun Police 3....It's a sageuk where L&O meets CSI back in the day. It's set up like them too with each episode concluding the crime solving.

Oh, and since they have a profiler I guess one can add that a pinch of Criminal Minds is thrown in there too....Luvin it.

It sounds very good, actually. I don't know if she is great at acting, but I think I would give this drama a try. I loved Gray's Anatomy, and if this is somewhat similar, then I would love to watch it. Hope to hear more about it soon.
