DR. GANG

DR. GANG follows character Kang Dal-go, a man hunted by gang members, trying
to stay alive.  Fronting as a doctor for safety, Kang Dal-go must keep a low
profile.  Knowing full well that if he's found, it will mean his own death;
however keeping a low profile is harder than it seems for Kang Dal-go as
this phony doctor can never quite keep quiet inside the hospital.
Co-starring next to Kang Dal-go is Kim Yoo-nah, an independent and strong
character, but can oftentimes seem like an outrageous "princess."  As she
learns about Kang Dal-go's identity and tries to have him reveal it, her
emotions get in the way...

H.I.T.
A story about men and women who have different values in their profession,
who each go through their personal conflicts and doubts, but in the end,
come to understand each other. This series challenges the stereotype of a
male dominated work place, that prosecutors are rigid and always play by the
book, and only men can be homicide detectives. This series is based on a
real-life prosecutor representing his new generation and the first female
chief of homicide. It will deliver their challenging spirit to the viewers
and satisfy their needs for something new as well as entertain through the
portrayal of a life of a woman in a man's world.

ONE FINE DAY
When does love begin? Starring Korean TV drama favorites Gong Yoo (Coffee
Prince) and Sung Yu-ri (The Snow Queen), and co-starring Mangoong Min and
Lee Yeon-hee (Emperor of the Sea), One Fine Day presents a heartrending,
bittersweet love story amid the beautiful vistas of Australia and Korea.
Orphaned as children, step-siblings Gun (Gong Yoo) and Ha-neul (Sung Yu-ri)
are adopted into very different lives.  Ha-neul grows up in Korea with a
wealthy, loving family, while Gun becomes a small-time thug in Australia.
Reunited after 15 years, they have nothing in common but painful memories.
As the two grow closer, however, Gun and Ha-neul realize their feelings run
deeper than that of brother and sister.

QUE SERA SERA
Kang Tae Joo is an ordinary employee in a department store.  Shin Joon
Hyuk's got a bit of baggage, but on the exterior seems to have things
together. They both fall in love with the heroine of this story: Han Eun
Soo.  Cha Hye Lin is the daughter of a rich shopping mall executive and is
an aspiring fashion designer.  Independent, strong and spoiled, she is
hopeless and careless in front of love.  After an emotionally traumatizing
first relationship, Hye Lin stops believing in true love, and then chooses
to "buy" herself new boyfriends by paying them money and forcing them to
sign contracts.  QUE SERA SERA delves into a messy and complicated web of
love, lies and relationships amongst the four of these characters.
