If you are a fan of medical dramas, then here is a kdrama for you. DramaFever adds Korean drama Obstetrics and Gynecology Doctors to its library today. The drama stars Jang Seo Hee (Temptation of Wife), Ko Joo Won (Kim Soo Ro), Suh Ji Suk (Pure 19, Gloria), and rising young speed skater turned actor Song Joong Ki (Will it Snow at Christmas, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Triple).

The series revolves around the life of Seo Hye Young (Jang Seo Hee), a second-year obstetrician who performs an abortion at a mother’s request (the mother’s first child was disabled). This makes her persona non grata and she is blacklisted and relegated from a hospital in Seoul to one in the country. With her career in shambles, Hye Young finds out that she is pregnant (and the father is married!). She does her best to hide her pregnancy from the hospital where she now works.

Of course, this wouldn’t be a drama without romance – and not with the baby’s father. Hye Young clashes with pediatrician Lee Sang Shik (Ko Joo Won) and also finds herself drawn to him. Also, her good friend Wang Jae Suk (Suh Ji Suk) enters the picture and seems to have a crush. In my experience, the best friend (99.99% of the time at least) never gets the girl, but you’ll have to watch to see.
