Kang So Ra will be the lucky actress who gets to choose between leading men Lee Jong Suk and Park Hae Jin in the upcoming drama "Doctor Stranger."
Park Min Young was offered the part and a chance at that love triangle but she opted out. Now it's Kang So Ra's turn at the tangled medical drama role.
According to Kang So Ra's entertainment agency, the SBS drama will be her small screen comeback. The actress has not really been away from the small screen for very long as she played Na Do Hee, a fashion company heiress in the 2013 drama "Ugly Alert" and played an arts student in the KBS2 drama "Dream High 2" the year before. She is best known for her role in the film "Sunny" and also appeared on an edition of "We Got Married" with Super Junior's Leetuk.
In "Doctor Stranger, she will play Oh Soo Hyun, a doctor in the cardiothoracic surgery department of South Korea's top hospital, which is where Lee Jong Suk works. She's not just a doctor in her own right but also the daughter of a high-ranking executive at the hospital. Her character will appear tough on the outside but Oh Soo Hyun has a kind heart.
It's a given that she will work with Lee Jong Suk's character Dr. Park Hoon. Park Hoon was originally from South Korea but was kidnapped and taken to the north with his doctor father when he was a child. He's a genius, but since he's a North Korean defector, he is treated like a foreigner. The kind-hearted Oh Soo Hyun is likely to give him a chance and help him adjust to his new life in the south.
Park Hae Jin, currently starring as Jun Ji Hyun's other suitor in "You Who Came From The Stars" will play Han Hae Joon, also a gifted doctor and the third member of the love triangle.
Complicating the triangle even further is the fact that Park Hoon left the woman he loves back in North Korea and wants to do whatever it takes to help her defect. Will Kang So Ra help him forget his lost love or help him rescue her?
Jin Hyuk, who directed last year's hit "The Master's Sun" and the popular Lee Min Ho drama "City Hunter" is going to direct "Doctor Stranger."
The drama will premiere in April following "God's Gift - 14 Days," which stars Lee Bo Young.
