Neurosurgery drama Brain began its run today on KBS, and while I haven’t gotten around to checking out the premiere yet, here are some posters and stills to mark the series launch.

Wish Upon a Star and Kingdom of the Wind actress Choi Jung-won is featured in a photo spread for fashion mag Elle Korea; she poses in these stills with a cello, which seems like merely an extraneous prop since the real appeal is in her artfully disheveled look.
