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.
