Writer Lim Seong-han, known by her pen name Phoebe, is making her debut in the medical thriller genre with ‘Dr. Shin,’ scheduled to premiere on March 14.
The new TV CHOSUN weekend miniseries ‘Dr. Shin,’ which premieres March 14, follows a genius doctor who challenges the realm of the divine and a woman who loses her soul due to brain damage. The drama also features a peculiar romance involving a top star in a coma and the men who love her.
‘Dr. Shin’ comes from admired writer Phoebe, known for hit dramas like ‘See and See Again,’ ‘Love in Heaven,’ ‘Miss Mermaid,’ and ‘New Tales of Gisaeng,’ as well as the highest-rated TV CHOSUN drama ‘Marriage Lyrics and Divorce Music.’ Her works are known for their bold and sensational storytelling, generating significant anticipation for this first-time venture into the medical thriller genre.
Phoebe’s first medical thriller, ‘Dr. Shin,’ poses questions about whether love is for the soul or the body, exploring what happens when another soul inhabits the body of a loved one. As the story unfolds, shocking twists arise when taboo boundaries are crossed for love, involving brain swaps and dramatic narratives of desire and sacrifice.
