Moon Chae-won offered lead in Green Scalpel
by javabeans
Ooh. Suddenly interested in Green Scalpel, although Moon Chae-won isn’t yet confirmed; she’s only said to be considering the drama. Still, she adds a dash of interest to the medical series starring Joo-won as an autistic savant who’s a surgical genius with the personality of a grade-schooler.
The role Moon Chae-won is up for is of a pediatric surgeon named Cha Yoon-seo, which should offer up an interesting dynamic between her and the lead. Cha Yoon-seo chooses to become a doctor after volunteering in a children’s cancer ward in high school, and with her hard work and brains she becomes an associate professor at a relatively young age. She’s got an easy-going personality with a tomboyish nature, which is a bit of a departure but also totally up her alley. Moon may have played chic and steely in Nice Guy and portrayed a proud princess in The Princess’s Man, but she’s got the ability to play approachable and artless as well.
Plus, while age is but a number in real-life romance, I do think it’s more interesting to give the hero a potential love interest whose age disparity is on an emotional level without also being reflected in their real ages. Were this a noona relationship where the heroine is older both physically and mentally, that would just feel like too much power imbalance for comfort. (Note: The drama description does not promise romance. However, you don’t cast Joo-won and Moon Chae-won and then ignore romance, do you? I’d be happy with a romance-less story of human bonding and relationships, but I’m not sure dramaland really knows how to do that yet.)
Well, let’s hope that Moon Chae-won accepts the offer, ’cause I love her and find her one of her generation’s more compelling actresses. Also, she keeps improving from project to project, which is a good sign in any actor. Also also, I’ve only ever liked Joo-won with one of his leading ladies (UEE) and found that the relationships greatly suffered when there wasn’t that spark. (Jin Se-yeon was very green next to him, and Choi Kang-hee was never paired with him in any drama or ever shall be, the end.) Fingers crossed that these two will have it.
Green Scalpel will follow Shark and premiere in August.

It's funny because I always thought Moon Chae-won and Jin Se-yeon look alike. MCW is one of those actresses that I find really endearing and I know it's sad, but I don't have that many favorite actresses.

OMG PLEASE P L E A S E accept the role!
They'll look good together and that's what I've been craving to see!
Plus, Moon Chaewon is a great actress too; the way she acts always shows her character's depth and that's a really hard thing to do. Great actor + great actress combination, what else can I ask for?
I personally think Eugene and Joowon looked good, yes the chemistry between them was kind of weird because they used to be using each other, but the few last episodes made me really loved them!
I have no words about Uee, she's his best female lead (even though I never really like Uee tbh)
Jin Seyeon was okay, I didn't really ship them but it was acceptable.
I have the same thought with JB about CKH, period.

I hope MCW joins this project, the cast seemed fantastic already with JW and JSW, and if she accepts this it will be the cherry on the cake. I really liked her in The Princess's Man. Fingers crossed that Green Scalpel will turn out to be a winning drama.
LOL @Also also, I’ve only ever liked Joo-won with one of his leading ladies (UEE) and found that the relationships greatly suffered when there wasn’t that spark. (Jin Se-yeon was very green next to him, and Choi Kang-hee was never paired with him in any drama or ever shall be, the end.) Fingers crossed that these two will have it.
but I have to agree.

Omg!!!! I can't wait for this drama - love Joo Won and Moon Chae Won! Hope she takes the role!
It's crazy because I actually have a paediatric surgery job lined up next year (currently prepping for medical finals so really shouldn't be online...) AND it was my volunteering in a children's cancer ward that made me really want to do medicine!

I hope she will accept this.
Moon Chae Won is really reserved and shy in real life. Joo Won is one shy guy only recently he becoming more sassy. Heh heh.
I'm dying to see their interactions.
This role is a new role for Moon Chae Won, I think it suits her.
Moon Chae Won fighting!

So agree with you on the leading ladies. UEE is lovely, but surely not the one and only that can have that kind of hook, line and sinker chemistry with Joo Won...right? Prove me wrong, Dramaland, or I'll be jumping on the "omg! It was twoo luv!" Uee-joowon manic fan ship.

I'm a big fan of hers, and I hope she doesn't take this role. The medical setting is boring, and this drama seems like it could be quite the disaster. You just know they won't be able to stay away from the romance, and it's going to turn incredibly uncomfortable when they try and portray it as an innocent and heart-aching love.
I'm going to go throw up now.

No, I hope she declined it. I have feeling this will be male centred drama and I never really like medical drama
