As there is a fixed fan of genre, if you sit all in front of the TV, you can expect a 'jackpot', but at the same time, you could not get the 'uhmmph' feeling because you could not get into everyone's face for a punch.
Live Up to Your Name drama started airing on August 12th after its successful drama 'Secret Forest', which recorded only 2.7% on the first episode. (Nielsen Korea, based on the paid platform subscription), but continued to rise to the highest ratings of its own every time. At the end of the finale, the audience ratings peaked at 6.9% which was slightly higher than 'Secret Forest' (6.7%).
There was a main lead in the drama. Kim Nam Gil who plays the hero Heo Im which a great acupuncturist in the Joseon dynasty from 1552~1608. Heo Im suddenly finds himself travelling to 2017 via a mysterious acupuncture set and meets heart surgeon at the hospital.
Kim Ah Joong has starred in a sageuk drama which was Emperor of the Sea (Hae Shin) in 2004. She was mostly starring in modern dramas such as SBS Sign (2011), Punch (2014), Wanted (2016) which earned her the nickname 'Genre Queen'.
Her 2006 hit film- 200 Pounds Beauty was a success for the actress. In 2013, she starred in Catch Me with Joo Won. It has been a long time and Kim Ah Joong wanted to play a role as a doctor. She has been spending a lot of time with family members. She received good responses and support from her family for her recent drama.
With that respect, Kim Ah Joong still has that sexy look even though she is donned in a white doctor's robe. Humbly, she said she is getting older too and she appreciates all the good comments. Before the filming begins, she started watching real live thoracic surgeons and doctors, morning conference, rounds in the hospital as well as seven visits a day, and even an Emergency Call. She was diligently watching heart transplant surgeries.
The nurse who came to the real surgery room came to help me from the filming site and she said, 'I have been going on a lot of medical drama counselling in the meantime. Kim Ah Joong is the first person who is going through the actual operation sequence like this, and the operation is different from case to case, and it seems to know how each operation is proceeding."
It was very different from the network drama, and she only spent two months in pre-production, and the staff working behind the scenes thought that she would do well. She praised that tvN projects are good and that is the reason she wants to work with them again.
Next project? The actress is looking to work on for a film. She has been constantly using small screens in various genres and it is time to change. She hasn't seen any scripts yet but she is actively looking into it, but no decisions made yet.
She admitted at this age, she is getting ambitious and is confidence in her acting.
She has seen her friends getting married and settling down with kids. She intends to work longer and not to get tied down with marriage. It is not easy to find her love of her life now...well...least for now.
