KBS has dropped a new teaser for its upcoming medical mystery Face Me starring Lee Min-ki (Crash) and Han Ji-hyun (Spice Up Our Love) as an unlikely doctor-cop pair.
The teaser opens with a tense interaction between plastic surgeon Cha Jung-woo (Lee Min-ki) and violent crimes detective Lee Min-hyung (Han Ji-hyun). He asks her what she wants to say to him, so she tells him that the word on the street is that he has a good eye. In fact, it’s so good that they say he can see things others can’t see.
Scenes of Jung-woo in various medical situations play on screen as the teaser highlights his cold personality. He tells a patient that this is a plastic surgery clinic, so if they expect emotional care as well, they should transfer to a different hospital. Even as a patient creates a ruckus and throws items across the room, Jung-woo barely bats an eye, and his unyielding attitude catches Min-hyung’s attention.
According to Jung-woo’s friend Han Woo-jin — played by Lee Yi-kyung (Marry My Husband) — our cold doctor actually moved to plastic surgery because he no longer wanted to get emotionally involved with patients. However, the standoffish Jung-woo starts to change once Min-hyung enters his life, and he acts out of character by helping her with a case.
While Min-hyung ponders over a strange wound on the victim, Jung-woo notices something odd. After examining the scar, he informs Min-hyung that the object was inserted afterwards and not caused by a fall. This one-time event, though, turns into many more as even Jung-woo’s mentor Jeon Bae-soo (Dear Hyeri) questions his continued involvement with the case.
Directed by PD Jo Rok-hwan (Voice 2) with scripts by Hwang Ye-jin (Secret Mother), KBS’s Face Me is slated for twelve episodes and premieres November 6 in the Wednesday-Thursday slot.
