Actors Jo Jung-suk and Jeon Mi-do, who received much love as the 'Ik-song couple' in the series 'Hospital Playlist,' will make a special appearance in 'Resident Playbook.'

According to a report by OSEN on the 9th, actors Jo Jung-suk and Jeon Mi-do will appear in the upcoming 10th episode of the tvN weekend drama 'Resident Playbook.'

Since the first broadcast of 'Hospital Playlist' in March 2020, Jo Jung-suk and Jeon Mi-do have reunited in the following year's season 2 of 'Hospital Playlist.' Jo Jung-suk played the role of Professor Lee Ik-jun in the Department of Gastroenterology, while Jeon Mi-do portrayed Professor Chae Song-hwa in the Department of Neurosurgery. They were connected as a doctor couple from high school first love, receiving enthusiastic support from viewers. There are high hopes for what kind of appearance they will show in 'Resident Playbook.'

Notably, 'Resident Playbook' has captured attention with a remarkable lineup of cameos since the first episode.

In the 7th episode, Lee Ik-sun (played by Kwak Sun-young) and Ahn Chi-hong (played by Kim Joon-han) also made special appearances, adding to the delight. In the 8th episode, Shin Hyun-bin, playing the role of Jang Gyeo-ul, appeared as Um Jae-il's (played by Kang Yoo-seok) first love, strengthening the relationship between 'Resident Playbook' and 'Hospital Playlist.'

Furthermore, '99s' from 'Hospital Playlist' released the tracks 'Amateur' and 'Someday I Will Shine Brightly (Under the Light)' for the OST of 'Resident Playbook,' previously known as 'Mido and Parasol.' They are actively supporting the spinoff by not only participating in the OST but also making special appearances.
