Question: If your two main characters are forensic doctors, why is one of them holding a camera in the drama poster?
Here are the character posters for the new SBS drama Sign, in which Kim Ah-joong (with said camera) plays a forensic doctor who decides to make a (slight) career change after working in the coroner’s office. Instead of investigating in labs and exam rooms, what she really wants to do is examine evidence at the scene of the crime. (Okay, I see the point of the camera. But I contend that it’s still… weird.)
The “sign” of the title reportedly refers to the traces of evidence that the forensic investigators search for at crime scenes. Kim’s poster bears the tagline: “We must grant the victims’ last wishes.”
Below, we have her co-star Park Shin-yang, who more appropriately wields a scalpel. Although one might wonder why he’s holding it up like a magician with a rose about to burst out, “Tada!”
Then it’s Eom Ji-won’s turn, who’s looking pretty sharp. She plays a successful, smart prosecutor who apparently views the doctors’ work as merely one tool for HER to use. Her poster insists that she’s really the one in charge, not those investigators. I anticipate lots of fiery clashing.
Jeon Gwang-ryul portrays a leading figure in the legal world, who’s bound to stir things up even further.
Last but not least, Jung Kyeo-woon (what happened to his HAIR?!) is a hot-blooded cop working in the violent crimes division.
Sign premieres on January 5.

Only in K-dramas will forensic doctors look like movie stars, lol
is it just me or does PSY look like a musician rather than a forensic doctor?
more like a conductor preparing for an orchestra lol.. to be a bit more specific
I thought the exact same thing! Looks like a conductor….but what is he holding, a pen? and the bow tie…..
looks like he’s holding a scalpel
Gosh, the last guy has Bieber hair.
LOL! a Bieber with a cynical smirking face. I kind like his expressions but pls, NOT WITH THAT HAIR!

and spock ears…
I love the Spock ears, though… I just wish that the hair fit more with the proportions of his face.
“Jung Kyeo-woon (what happened to his HAIR?!)”
yeah, what the devil happened to his hair. In Dr. Champ he looked so much better. Heck even I would go for the fluffy look from Loving You a Thousand Times over this.
whaaaat? i LOVE this hair! at least – it’s still somewhat short – it’s cute! and definitely a departure from the look of previous roles, so he gets to separate himself a bit.
kim ah joong looks so tired though
I like the guys with short hair, i don’t mind it at all. I like his look in Dr. Champ better, but not the fluffy stuff. He looks older here.
love the whole look his got going here!!!! was havin’ major Jung Kyeo-woon withdrawl after dr.champ!!! can’t wait
Jung Kyeo-woon’s picture shows off his elf ears! <3
I like the scruffy cop look on him! VERY much.
I thought I was the only one who noticed his ears. HAHAHA. I was trying to decide if it was Elf ears or Vulcan ears i was seeing. XD
I vote VULCAN!!
u know wht i kinda like the hair…and the scruff tht goes with it! rawr!
Judo!!!!!
OMGAH. i am kind of excited.
for some reason, i had decided to pay ignore any news about this drama because of kim ah joong, whose acting i don’t find especially compelling or appealing. i am now regretting that decision since i also happened to forget how great the rest of the cast is. i mean, one of my favorite actors evar, park shin yang, is making a comeback [FINALLY]? how could i have chosen to disregard this??
and word about jung kyeo woon’s hair. his head looks a little weird with his current haircut.
i can’t say that this drama’s premise is reeling me in but i’ll definitely be tuning into the first couple of episodes for park shin yang, jung kyeo woon and uhm ji won.
*decided to ignore
Hmm…sounds like Bones.
Hmm…sounds like Bones. with out the hot romance between bones and booth
The weirdest poster for me is not Kim Ah Joong’s but Park Shin Yang’s. Who on earth performs autopsies in tuxes?
yeaaaa… gotta say these posters are lookin’ weird.
Park shin yang looks more like a conductor.
I can understand the camera since I’m such a crime drama bluff from US television. However, it is a strange choice for the posters as it’s not a really compelling part. Anyhow, since i have a love of these things, I will give the drama a shot. I did like the jdramas that have focus on crime solving like Galileo & Mr Brain.
I’m not expecting any “new” thing that haven’t already been done but as long as it holds my interest, I don’t mind.
lol…Park Shin Yang looks more like an orchestra conductor from the way he is holding that scalpel and the fact that he sems to be wearing a tuxedo….is he going to be cutting open corpses in that??..Uhm Ji Won and Kim Ah Joong look hot but what did they do to Jung Kyeo Won?/….i dont dig the hair, the slight beard or even that shirt
I am kinda looking forward to the show cos i always like forensic drama but really I just want to watch Park Shin-yang & Jung Kyeo Won.
At first I thought Kim Ah Jung cut her hair short and I strictly remembered her rejection of Coffee Prince due to her no Cutting hair policy. But well it looks like she just braided it.
An autopsy will require photos be taken during the process with the forensic doctor for evidence in a trial. The more you know~~~~~~~
Uhm Jiwon rocking the short do!! She looks fabulous.
The posters kinda give out pretentious air tho, dunno why.
Tak Gu’s dad has spiked up hair! Or maybe you could call it hair flying upwards! Doesn’t anybody find that weird? I am DISTURBED.
The camera would be for taking crime scene photos…
Never watched Csi?
Is her character a forensic doctor or is she a photographer? I understand that forensic photographers are almost the first people called to a crime scene. One of my good friends does this for a living. And boy does he have some stories! Requires a strong constitution and a very good sense of humor. I wonder if this drama will have a fun “Bones-like” tone here and there or will it be dark and serious?
except Jeon Gwang-ryul who was amazing in the king and I the cast is super boring
hmmm the description reminds me a lot of the series “Bones”….
Jeon Gwang-ryul and Jung Kyeo-woon are a nice combination. My mother will enjoy this show as much as I will.
I really like Eom Ji-won. I’m gonna give this drama a try bc I enjoyed EJW so much from ‘The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry.’
As for Jung Kyeo-woon..his hair is… different… but ever since I watched ‘Dr. Champ,’ his ears continue to remind me of pointy elf ears. lol
the camera isn’t that weird to me…..you know they take pictures during the autopsies right?
till seeing KJW’s photo, I only liked JB’s comments about the other pics. but when it comes to him, everythin changes. I think I may give a try even though the drama doesn’t seem to be my taste
Yes the camera seems strange.
MAybe they couldn’t think of something that she could hold in the photo shot that looks science-y.
I will watch it for sure!
yeah the way park shin yang’s holding that scalpel is weird.
I like Jung Kyeo Won’s hair like this, much better than Dr. Champ, and a lot better than Loving You a Thousand Times. Look forward to this.
Am i the only one who finds the gun JKW is holding ehh weird? i mean its a revolver (do the police still use them??) and its kind of too shot for such a big guy. is he going to play russian roulette? it looks ridiculous.
sorry ji heon, your new hair ain’t working for you. why sport a mini fringe. ugh.
ugh is it just me or kim ah joong looks soooo ugly?
the tagline for PSY’s character sounds uncannily similar to a character (a forensic medicine professor) in the Japanese drama, Voice.
I’ll watch anything with Jung Kyeo-woon in it. I don’t care what his hair looks like. Although it’s not that bad, IMO.
Like his Dr Champ character, I prefer Jung Gyeo Woon with his hair short. He looks more mature and confident here… can’t wait to watch!
Ah, Kim Ah Joong cut her hair, I don’t like this style at all, waiting waiting
I see everything except forensics doctors (i.e. photographer, conductor, lawyer, business man, cop). Just kidding! So excited for this.
Jung Gyeo Woon… your hair baby… what did you do to it?
I liked his hair in LYATT and in Dr. Champ… I don’t mind the fluffy^^ It’s endearing… his DC hair took some time for me to adjust to… but this one I don’t think I will until he grows it out or something.
ooo no fav actors in this one, and no new ones either. Tho jong kyeo won might be enough potential eye candy to make me check it out WHEN I have time haha…. The plot doesn’t seem interesting enough for me to be excited for it either…
You questioned the camera (that is might be used to document findings in an autopsies) more than the tux,just because PSY holding a scaple?
ooops, scratch that ‘an’
i guess the camera makes sense. i mean they use that often to take pictures of evidence.
I think I will give this a try. I’m having rom com overdose right now to look at my princess. I’m not a big fan of Kim tae hee. But PSY I like!
