Actor Jo Jung-suk made a special appearance in tvN's "Resident Playbook," delighting viewers.
The tvN weekend drama "Resident Playbook" (creators Shin Won-ho and Lee Woo-jung, directed by Lee Min-soo, written by Kim Song-hee, planned by CJ ENM Studios, produced by Egg is Coming) is a spin-off from "Hospital Playlist" that depicts the process of residents dreaming of wise doctor lives as they grow through their initial struggles.
Jo Jung-suk appeared as "Lee Ik-jun," a professor of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, continuing the world of the "Hospital Playlist" series and injecting vitality into the show with his unique positive and cheerful charm.
In this day's broadcast, a scene featuring Lee Ik-jun (played by Jo Jung-suk) arriving at the emergency room of Jongno Yulje Hospital with both hands stuck to glue added to the humor. His embarrassment about having his hands stuck to the glue caused him to head to Jongno Yulje Hospital instead of Yulje Medical Center, showcasing his quirky and playful charm that elicited laughter.
In particular, this reminiscent scene of Lee Ik-jun's first appearance in the original "Hospital Playlist," the 'Darth Vader helmet' scene, evoked fond memories, increasing the delight of fans of the "Hospital Playlist" series.
Furthermore, Lee Ik-jun's brilliant moments as a genius in his profession also shone. When a postpartum patient who had undergone a liver transplant was transported by helicopter and residents, who had recently witnessed the death of the patient due to postpartum hemorrhage, fell into a panic, Lee Ik-jun checked the patient's status and advised caution about potential adhesions during surgery.
In addition, the moments of the 'Ik-song couple' enjoying happy days like any other couple captured attention. In particular, their charming interactions, visible only to Chae Song-hwa (played by Jeon Mi-do), stimulated viewers' romantic feelings and stirred excitement in viewers' homes.
Toward the end of the broadcast, a playful Lee Ik-jun, recalling past memories, humorously searched for secret romance couples with Chae Song-hwa. He suggested that there might be some who secretly date in the clinic at night when there are no patients or medical staff. Although Lee Ik-jun did not find anyone after leaving the clinic, Um Jae-il (played by Kang Yu-seok) discovered the couple of Oh Yi-young (played by Go Youn-jung) and Koo Do-won (played by Jung Jun-won), ending the episode.
Through such a special appearance, Jo Jung-suk is striking a balance between loyalty and strong impact, generating enthusiastic reactions. He is anticipated to captivate theaters once again this summer with the movie "My Daughter, the Zombie" ( 좀비딸 ).
