【Korean drama official announcement】 Actor Su Zhixie confirmed to play the male lead of MBC's new drama "Dr.Lawyer". This is not only Su Zhixie's appearance in a Korean drama after about 4 years after the 2018 TV series "Taos Behind Me", but also his first return after marrying anchor Zhao Enjing in 2020. The drama will be directed by Lee Long-sik of "A Branch of Plum" and "Village", and written by Zhang Hongzhe of "Mr. Temporary", a total of 16 episodes, which is expected to be broadcast on MBC in the first half of next year.
"Dr. Lawyer" mainly tells the story of the encounter between a talented surgeon who has been robbed of everything to become a lawyer specializing in medical litigation due to human surgery and a prosecutor of the medical crime task force who lost his only family member and lover because of that operation. It is a warm and painful TV drama that punishes people who believe that wealth and power can control people's lives, and comforts the victims of misery and wrongs.
In the drama, Su Zhixie will play the role of "Han Yihan", who is a genius doctor who later becomes a medical litigation lawyer. He was originally a genius doctor with qualifications in general surgery and thoracic surgery, two fields, outstanding strength, and has no less than the figure of a model, wearing a doctor's coat is like wearing a designer coat. Even in high-intensity work, the understaffed thoracic surgery department can keep smiling, treat colleagues and patients very kindly, and is an ace doctor of Bian Shuo University Hospital with human charm and strength. He was at least one of the people he documented 4 years ago, and then he became a medical litigator and set out to investigate the truth of the questioned events 4 years ago.
The show will feel the same as "Taos Behind Me", the main story line seems to be centered on suspenseful events, and the emotional line may not be, even if it may be just an embellishment. In this way, the audience who has been expecting Su Zhixie to star in the love drama for a long time may be disappointed. People who have watched "Sorry, I Love You" and "The Lord's Sun" must have a deep understanding, and Su Zhixie's emotional drama is a must. It seems that if you want to watch the love drama of the male god, you have to wait a little longer.
Then, since the drama will focus on suspenseful events, the role of the prosecutor of the medical crime task force will be quite important. At present, the casting of this role has not been announced, which is really very exciting.
