– Medical dramas will always become a big hit!
– Featuring Monday Kiz (Jin Sung) & M to M (Choi Jung Hwan)
MBC’s medical drama "New Heart" aired last December and received 20% TV ratings for its first episode. This is hallyu star Ji Sung’s comeback drama after finishing his military service. The ending title song, "Monologue", is sung by Jin Sung from Monday Kiz and Choi Jung Hwan from M to M. The song starts out with a strong orchestra that fits perfectly with the medical drama theme. Singer Hong Kyung Min sang the song "Thanks", which is the theme song for Ji Sung’s character "Eun Sung". New artiste Kim Dong Hee sang the song "Don’t Know About Love", which is the love theme song for both Eun Sung (Ji Sung) and Hae Suk (Kim Min Jung). This drama was highly anticipated even before its first airing, due to the fact that the OST was created by the same producers who created the “Coffee Prince Shop #1” OST. (from purpletiger86)
