K-TALK YONG PAL REALLY SKILLED QUACK

DRAMA INTRO

Yong-Pal is a Korean drama series aired on SBS from August 5 to October 1, 2015 for 18 episodes. Daesang winner Joo Won and top actress Kim Tae Hee together with Chae Jung An and Jo Hyun Jae acted in this series. The meaning of Yong Pal is ‘Skilled Quack’.

SUMMARY

Joo Won is a skilled resident on a big hospital. Unfortunately, to cure his sick sister, he needs a lot of money. Due to that, he has to do house calls for gangsters and that is how he was known as Yong Pal.

Because of his well-known skills, he was asked to serve the VIPs and he found Kim Tae Hee who is in trouble. Kim Tae Hee troubled by her step brother due to heir problems. Jo Hyun Jae (step brother) wants to be the chairman of Hansan Group. Joo Woon cured Kim Tae Hee and both of them fights Jo Hyun Jae for the throne.

CHARACTERS

Being doctor is not something new for Joo Woon. With innocent, nerd and dull face, Joo Woon brought the character well to show humbleness and poor village boy character.

No much credict for Kim Tae Hee because she just did a normal character with a dull expression and no much aegyo. Her character is not that challenging but she acted well.

Miss I believe Jo Hyun Jae had most difficult time because he need to change his personality from protagonist to antagonist. The handsome hero finally acted a cruel character. His handsome look and smile really helped him to act well as a evil brother.

Chae Jung An’s character really suits her. Her arrogant and charismatic acting was original.

Choi Min's short appearance also really shows he is a best romantic actor.

Jo Bok Rae just handsome as a doctor. (No much role).

CRITICISM

The story is really interesting because of a different plot. Thinking of making house calls without hospital facilities is really interesting and novel. Romance between Joo Woon and Kim Tae Hae is really moderate and good but much kiss scenes. Should reduce the kiss scenes, we should pity the actors as they have rights on their body as well. Lacking in this drama is the flashback keeps repeating. The same scenes are repeated again and again to show the flashback. Overall excellent drama which gains 7.2 Miss I star.
