First impressions of Beautiful Mind

A Beautiful Mind is a 16 episode Korean drama currently on-air. It stars Jang Hyuk as a neurosurgeon with no sympathy and Park So-Dam as a naive cop who is all about doing the right thing. It is my first time seeing Park So-Dam so far I'm not too impressed but I'm very impressed with Jang Hyuk. 

I've seen Jang Hyuk in Searching for an Elephant, Five Senses of Eros, Maybe, The Client, The Flu, and Innocent Thing. So he's not new to me but his performance in this is far better than anything else I've seen from him. His character is so dark but at the same time vulnerable. It's a very difficult character to play so I have to tip my hat to him. Only 7 episodes have been aired but this is my favorite drama of 2016 so far. I often don't wait for the subs to be fully translated into English, I have to thank Viki. 

Lee Young Oh (Jang Hyuk) is a neurosurgeon who his father calls a monster as he lacks emotion and has been taught how to analyze body language in order to understand emotions.  Eventually, Lee Young Oh is left alone in this world after he is betrayed rather harshly. In comes Gye Jin Sung (Park So Dam) a traffic cop who is a bit naive that Lee Young Oh seems to like to play with. When he has no one left will Gye Jin Sung rush into his life in order to save him and make him "human"?
