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.

Don’t know her, but it sounds interesting
Why can’t it ever be a prickly perfectionist woman with a sweet, clumsy younger man?
That sounds like nearly every show on American television since the 70′s!!!
Only one I can think of is Witch Yoo Hee, heh.
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….
The story seems interesting, but cute + lovable = eh.
meh
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.
I like her a lot but Im not sure about her chracter or the story itself. Gah..will watch it still!
A korean Bones?
Sounds like Bones, but with a gender reversal.
i was just thinking that, except her character is both bones and booth…maybe a departure for korea, but kind of old hat in the US
Yes, we love our crime dramas….
I don’t see cute and lovable around corpses?
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.
Ahh I love her >.<" Hah Can't wait for it!
Please~~ visit gokpop.com for kpop news!! ^_^//
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!
Interesting… but I’m dying to know… is that her real nose?
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.)
Oh my God, i miss her acting. Glad she is back. Love her in the movie “200 pounds Beauty” and “Accidental Couple”..
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.
Korean McDreamy? Not into sci-crime drama, but for PSY it’s a maybe.
Korean McDreamy… Yummy…
Yes! It’s Cameron and House, 1st season. And it gets Koreanized.
This sounds like UK’s Silent Witness.
Pretty woman, but lacks in the acting department.
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.
i love this ……
