Actor Jung Joon-won is appealing to viewers with his detailed expressiveness that captures the character's essence.
Jung Joon-won is showcasing his active performance in the role of Koo Do-won, a fourth-year obstetrics and gynecology resident, in tvN's weekend drama "Resident Playbook," depicting the mature attitude of a seasoned chief who takes care of his juniors and the colorful 'adult sexiness' that captures the audience's attention, further highlighting the charm of his character.
On the episodes broadcast on the 26th and 27th, the first-year juniors, who are inexperienced in everything, concentrated viewers' attention on the senior Koo Do-won's careful advice and guidance. He pointed out mistakes to O Yi-young (Go Youn-jung), who could not contain her anger towards an intern, with a firm attitude, helping her realize her errors, and sharply advised Eom Jae-il (Kang Yu-seok), who relies on seniors, to face reality, while also caring for the second- and third-year juniors, fostering a deep connection with the audience.
Additionally, even amidst being busier than anyone else, his willingness to listen to Kim Sa-bi (Han Ye-ji) and offer advice, exemplifying the 'modern senior,' further appeals to the charm of Koo Do-won, leading many to cheer for 'one workplace, one Koo Do-won.'
Furthermore, in this episode, the romantic tension between Koo Do-won and O Yi-young gradually surfaced, providing a sense of fluttering excitement. Previously, Koo Do-won firmly drew a line after O Yi-young's confession. However, he began to feel affection for O Yi-young's bold demeanor as she demanded an apology from Myung Eun-won (Kim Hye-in), who had stolen her paper results, causing viewers' hearts to race. Particularly, moments where he reacted nervously to O Yi-young's directness while also glancing at her with a smile, displaying a warm and sexy charm, further engaged fans supporting Koo Do-won's love line.
Jung Joon-won is portraying Koo Do-won, a 'versatile character' with perfect abilities, personality, and charm, with delicate acting that adds depth to the character with each episode. Additionally, his drastic changes in tone and expression when addressing O Yi-young, depending on the context of being a senior Koo Do-won or a future relative, continues to generate intense discussions and drive the high popularity of the drama.
In this way, Jung Joon-won, who has captured the audience with his comfortable and charming performance that brings the character's dimensionality to life, raises expectations for how he will develop Koo Do-won's narrative.
Meanwhile, "Resident Playbook," where you can meet Jung Joon-won's diverse charms, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
