Yoon Tae-young Tears His Knee

Actor Yoon Tae-young of the "The Legend" fame has torn his knee cartilage during the filming of MBC drama "Strike Love". Playing the leading character Oh Hye-sung, Yoon was shooting a scene in the baseball drama in which he had to slide into the first base, but he hit the ground with his knee, injuring it severely. Yoon was rushed to the hospital, where an MRI revealed that he needed surgery. However, due to his TV schedule, Yoon has decided to postpone the operation until after the filming wrapped up. He said he will tough it out with pain killers until then. The doctors say that it would take about eight weeks for him to recover from surgery and walk as before.

"Strike Love" is based on the iconic comic book "Alien Baseball Team". Drawn by highly respected cartoonist Lee Hyeon-se, "Alien Baseball Team" is about a squad of misfits, who form a formidable baseball team. The drama also stars Kim Min-jung as the female lead, Choi Eom-ji.
