Actor So Ji Sub’s most recent popularity rose due to his marvelous secret agent performance in his latest project, “Terius Behind Me”. However, his expert acting skills also caught the attention of many Kdrama lovers with his performance in “Oh My Venus” with actress Shin Min Ah (“Hometown Cha Cha Cha”), and “The Master’s Sun” with actress Gong Hyo Jin.
His longtime expertise in Korean drama is why his acting comeback in “Dr Lawyer” is highly anticipated.
2. Two Charismatic Actors on the Same Screen: So Ji Sub and Shin Sung Rok
Most Korean dramas usually focus on one charismatic male actor and another being either charming or easygoing to create a matching bromance or exciting competition. It is highly rare to see two young charismatic figures facing each other on the same screen.

MBC’s new drama, “Dr Lawyer”, will tell a story about a former genius surgeon who decides to change his life’s course and become a medical litigation lawyer.
Han Yi Han, played by So Ji Sub, used to be a double-board certified genius surgeon. He was also the ace of Bansuk University Hospital, who specialized in both general and thoracic surgeries. He was brilliant with a tall and model-like appearance, and he always kept everyone at ease with his smile despite being overloaded with his work.
That is until an incident happened, and Han Yi Han had to lose everything due to a fabricated surgery. He lost his medical license and finally decided to become a medical malpractice lawyer.
Then, he joined hands with a prosecutor from the Medical Crime Department who had also lost a family and lover in the same surgery. Together, they battle against those who place wealth and power over a person’s life and fight for the aggrieved victims.

After all, Jayden Lee is told to be an unveiled and unreadable character. Because if Shin Sung Rok indeed plays the villain, we just cannot imagine how exciting his head-to-head scenes with So Ji Sub are going to be!
