2) Witch’s Romance

It stars Uhm Jung Hwa as Ban Ji Yeon aged 39 who is the investigative reporting team leader of Trouble Maker, a magazine company and Park Seo Joon as Yoon Dong Ha aged 25. The drama is about the romance between a younger man and a woman who isn’t able to open up her heart to others after her to-be-groom suddenly left her right before they were about to get married. What makes this drama so good is the nice guy role of Yoon Dong Ha. He is so nice that the female lead just cannot resist falling in love with him. Find out more about their relationship and how it progresses. As a side note, guys can learn a thing or two about how to treat girls well.
1) Doctor Stranger
Doctor Stranger is a 2014 South Korean television series from SBS, starred by Lee Jong-suk and Jin Se-yeon as leads. Lee Jong-suk acts as Park Hoon who is a genius doctor from North Korea and he can visualize the different parts of a body mentally. Jin Se-yeon stars as Song Jae-hee, Park Hoon’s first love from North Korea and also Han Seung-hee, an anesthesiologist who is back in South Korea for a purpose. I am no fan of a film with doctors performing surgery but what really drew me to this drama were the first few episodes. The scene of how Park Hoon’s father did not abandon him as a child and later bringing him to North Korea was very touching. It gets better. Wait till you get to the scene where his father willingly sacrificed himself and died. Thereafter, the genius doctor is created after training in North Korea and escapes to South Korea whereby he works as a doctor.
