I love anything with Kim SoYeon. She’s the best!
September 28th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
🙂 interesting, expect English subtitle…
September 30th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
it seems that this drama is not interesting as Fugitive…..go…go…watch Fugitive with Rain
October 6th, 2010 at 8:33 am
Nah, Rainyo. This drama is much interesting to me. It’s more than what I expected. I just hooked by watching the first episode. It’s not just about sports in it, but also romance..:D
Have a try watching it. 🙂
October 7th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
I can’t wait to watch this drama. Adore Kim so yeon so much. she is the best, so totally in every single cast. And UTW is double bonus lol. Fighting dr.champ team’s!!!
October 7th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
I am beginning to love this drama! Jung Gyu Woon is cute!
October 12th, 2010 at 1:25 am
please..please… i hope this drama will be ended with kim yeon woo with lee doo wook..hehehehe coz i love uhm tae woong so much..hehehehe
October 12th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
i invite all KSY’s fans to watch this drama. I’m quite sad to know it has lower rating on epsd 3 & 4. I hope it won’t fall down again. And to the screenwriter, please do your best for next episode. I believe in you. Fighting!!
October 13th, 2010 at 11:38 am
The drams is very fun to watch, even though it is still developing characters. Uhm Tae Woong as Lee Do Wook acts impressively. Kim So Yeon plays her part very well.
October 14th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
A must seen drama i could tell. can’t wait to see next interaction between Lee Do Wook and Kim Yeon Woo.
October 18th, 2010 at 1:09 pm
I did not know UTW is such an effective actor!
October 18th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
I cant wait for Ep7!
October 23rd, 2010 at 10:55 am
Can’t wait for epsd 9!!! yess, monday is coming.
October 27th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
I wait looking forward ep.11. I think there is love between LDW and CHY, but it makes sense for them to clarify their feelings. I hope LEE do wook to forget the past and move on…
October 27th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
I love dr.champ!! what a lovely cast. Kim So Yeon is the best. I’m interested in everything she performs.
October 27th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
This is a really fantastic drama. Top class. How do the koreans keep making such good dramas?
October 27th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
i want Kim So Yeon and Uhm Tae Woong to end up together. will they?
October 28th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
@Xinyu, right is a good drama…
@lovejoo I hope Kim So Yeon & Uhm Tae Woong 😡
October 28th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
I am sorry!
I wanted to say I really like this drama, compassion and altruism are parts of love, but isn’t enough to maintain a relationship. I hope LDWook and KYW understand that…
November 1st, 2010 at 12:43 am
Kang Hee Young is prettier & she acts better than Kim Yeon Woo.
Cha Ye Ryun has good future.
November 1st, 2010 at 6:51 am
which episode when there’s kiss scene at the pool (the picture)..??? hehehehhe i also have the same wish like lovejoo&anna
November 6th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
The ending should be the cute judo athelete and the femal doctor
November 6th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
try to watch fugitive plan B bcoz its better than this drama!!
Lee Na Young acts better than Kim so yeon
November 10th, 2010 at 4:57 pm
I liked her attitude. Love is not manipulative. Although it is true that a big part of love is putting another person’s happiness ahead of your own this includes never compromising your values or being untrue to yourself.
Love is an intense feeling of caring for another person (romantic, friendly, familial).
But it is possible to feel romantic love for more than one person at a given time? Unhappy situation….
My opinion is not possibile, but…
I think it’s time for KYW, to be sure, to remain single and be open and honest with all parties about hers feelings and confusion…
November 10th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
again, I don’t pretend to know what love is for everyone, but for me: love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak your knees when he walk into a room and smile at you.
Love it’s mysterious, magical, joyous, undefinable…
I think she loves LDW.
I hope so…
November 13th, 2010 at 8:14 am
owh..i really wish KYW and LDW pair up together bt it seems that the ending is not going to be like tat…hm…anyway, this movie is great! and i like Kim so yeon, she really a good actor.
November 15th, 2010 at 12:01 am
I love this drama and i love kim so yeon.

December 22nd, 2010 at 4:44 pm
I loved this drama I started crying when it finish… I reccomend this drama… I would of had hope that this drama would be longer…
December 28th, 2010 at 10:53 am
at first I have doubt watching this drama, will it be bored and uninteresting? but then I finally decided to watch and I can’t seem to stop watching, each episode is getting more and more interesting, I love this drama a lot, I wish Dr. KYW will get together with the PJH the Judo Athelet.. Because he loves her so much and he will do anything to make her happy, love PJH a lot, and he has a great body, LOL..
December 28th, 2010 at 11:17 am
this drama is highly recomended, once you watch it you will never stop, like me LOL.. don’t get confuse with the picture here, seems boring picture but it is really an interesting story line.. Just watch and you will believe me..
December 29th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Few notes for me: on the last episode why they didn’t really show us the fight at Asean Games and did Park Ji Heon really won the gold medal?
maybe they feel the winnning isn’t really important and only show personal matter at the end. As much I think the Athlete winning of this drama is very important, the personal matter is also important so I think they wraped it in a hurry, because I can see more episode and more stories to develop, such as: Dr. Kim so yeon mothers approvement for their reletionship, the new carreer of Park Ji heon, relationship of Dr. Kim so Yeon and Park Ji heon( I want them to get married) and the last is the relationship between the Head Doctor and the swimming coach.
Well… look forward for Dr Champ 2
hope soo…

At first I thought this drama is rather boring because of the sport, I was wrong. This drama is pretty good. Once you start, you will not wait to watch the next episode. Salute to Uhm Tae Woong, good acting and he’s got charisma.
