A Beautiful Mind (Hangul: 뷰티풀 마인드; RR: Beutipul maindeu) is a South Korean television series starring Jang Hyuk, Park So-dam, Yoon Hyun-min and Park Se-Young . It aired every Mondays and Tuesdays at 22:00 on KBS2 starting June 20, 2016.

Though the drama had its supporters, the number of episodes were brought down to 14, from the planned 16 due to low viewer ratings.[2]

Synopsis

Inspired by Mary Shelley's gothic novel Frankenstein, it tells the story of a world-renowned but unsympathetic neurosurgeon and his involvement with the mysterious deaths in the hospital he works in.

Cast

Principal

36 years old assistant professor at the department of neurology in Hyunsung hospital. He is a genius neurosurgeon who is unable to feel empathy. He is daring and has impeccable observational, deductive and logical skills which he uses to make lightning quick diagnosis. He creates the illusion of an empathy he cannot feel through the reading of minute physiological cues.
26 years old traffic policewoman who upholds onto her principles strongly. She is honest, straight-forward and rules-sticking.
36 years old cardio-thoracic surgeon who is popular among patients and highly trusted by his colleagues. He's ranked first for being the doctor that patients want to visit the most, the staff that colleagues want to work with the most, and also the senior that juniors wants to take after.
34 years old senior research fellow at the department of neurology in Hyunsung hospital. She graduated from a university at the countryside and came from a disadvantaged background. She is a lady of both intelligence and looks.
58 years old head of cardio cerebrovascular center in Hyun Sung Hospital. He is impartial and treats all patients the same.
