Yoo Eun Soo (Kim Hee Sun) is a 33-year old plastic surgeon in the year 2012. She was originally a general surgeon, but quickly found that it was an overworked, under-paid profession and jumped ship to plastic surgery. Her dream is to someday open her own practice. But one day, Choi Young (Lee Min Ho) kidnaps her and takes her back to the Goryeo era because they need her medical skills. Their love story not only spans centuries but also warring beliefs.

"Faith" takes over the SBS Wednesday & Thursday 21:55 time slot previously occupied by "Ghost".

Kim Hee Sun and Lee Min Ho start shooting a fantasy romance



Lee Min Ho and Kim Hee Sun recently started shooting SBS?s fantasy romance series Faith.

On May 25, new Monday-Tuesday series Faith (written by Song Ji Na and directed by Kim Jong Hak) released several pictures, which were taken on the set while shooting the series.

On May 24, Lee, who plays the role of a warrior named Choi Young from Goryeo dynasty, shot a scene, in which he brings Kim, who plays the role of Eun Soo, to Goryeo. Since the scene is the first scene of the series, which will cover the whole plot, the entire crew devoted themselves to their work.

Producer Kim Jong Hak worked with passion and talked with Lee and Kim to make the scene perfect. The two actors also worked hard in great harmony, even though they shot the scene together for the first time. Their emotional performance made people eagerly anticipate the series.

Lee said, ?Even though today is the first day of shooting, thanks to staff members, I could enjoy shooting with other actors. I liked performing with Kim as well. I want to do a wonderful job portraying Choi Young in the series.?

Kim said, ?I thought I?ll be nervous because I?m shooting the series for the first time in a long time. But when I actually started shooting, I was comfortable enough that I felt like I have been shooting the series. I want to thank the production crew for it.?

The first episode of the series will air on August 13.

Kamz, this will be set in the Goryeo time. See the attire? I hadn't read the synopsis...LOL Shame on me!

Hmmmm... I wouldn't normally be interested in this especially considering that Dr. Jin is now airing and it has that time travel element but after watching Lee Min Ho in City Hunter I am curious to see how he does in this. Plenty of time until August to get in the mood to watch this. Also...Even before Lee Jun Ki, Kang Ji Hwan was set to play the lead in this. I think that would have been really interesting and good.

i dont think so. here are samples:

Lee min ho is attractive no doubt about it and he does def. wear some flower boy gear alot of the time, but to me his featurea are too string to be considered "pretty boy" i <3 the wavy long hair. it's so cute. it reminds me of his 'do at the begining of city hunter and i LOVED that.
