Dr. Champ: Episode 4
I want that cow robe! The fourth episode could easily be named “Truths unleashed”: all the secrets we’ve concealed and that have been concealed from us, will slap our faces. Jealousy, longing, regret; this drama captured my heart by portraying so naturally such painfully human feelings. And it has cute comic moments to boot! SONG... More »

Dr. Champ: Episode 3
Kyaaaa! Save for one moment of pure fangirl moment, this episode served mostly as an emotional one as it added more dimensions to all the characters in the drama. I wouldn’t say it was completely frustrating to experience more tension between Jo Min Ki and Kim So Yeon, but I find solace in the fact... More »

In the movie, Gong plays a woman who suddenly shows up in front the ex-boyfriend she broke up with seven years ago (played by... More »
