Lee Min Ki is stealing viewers' hearts with his mix of strength and sensitivity in Face Me, where he stars alongside Han Ji-hyun.

The new KBS 2TV drama, which kicked off on November 6, brings a fresh twist with its unique blend of plastic surgery and crime investigations. Lee Min Ki as Cha Jung-woo and Han Ji Hyun as detective Lee Min-hyung bring depth to their roles, elevating the drama's intensity.

Playing Cha Jung-woo, a skilled but blunt plastic surgeon, Lee Min Ki stands out with his "tough outside, soft inside" character. In the first episode, Jung-woo shows his firm attitude when he tells a patient with facial burns, "This is a cosmetic surgery clinic. We don’t do reconstructive surgery." Even as the patient's guardian begs him, Jung-woo remains cold, saying he’s just doing his job. Lee Min Ki’s calm voice and steady gaze make Jung-woo’s no-nonsense attitude feel real.

But there’s more to Jung-woo than his distant exterior. Beneath the surface, he has a caring side, listening to patients' stories and using his medical skills to uncover truths that help the wrongfully accused. Scenes where he subtly reaches out to help show Jung-woo’s hidden kindness, touching viewers’ hearts.

The chemistry between Jung-woo and his close friends, Han Woo-jin (Lee Yi-kyung) and Kim Seok-hoon (Jeon Bae-soo), adds warmth to the story. Around them, Jung-woo drops his guard, lightening the drama’s otherwise serious tone.

Meanwhile, Han Ji Hyun shines as detective Lee Min-hyung, her first role in a crime drama. Min-hyung’s fun quirks, like eating chocolate after cracking a case or chasing suspects on her electric scooter, give the show a playful touch. Han Ji-hyun trained hard in action scenes, bringing her tough and bold detective character to life.

Lee Min Ki and Han Ji Hyun’s chemistry keeps fans hooked. Their characters may clash, but they share a strong will to help others, whether as a doctor or detective. Though they don’t always see eye-to-eye, their teamwork in solving cases leaves fans eager for more.

*KBS 2TV’s Wednesday-Thursday drama *Face Me* airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:50 p.m.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
