Jung Joon-won will appear as a resident Koo Won, a fourth-year resident of the obstetrics and gynecology department at Jongno Yulje Hospital, in tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 『Life of a Doctor Who Will One Day Slowly』 (creator Shin Won-ho, Lee Woo-jung/director Lee Min-soo/playwright Kim Song-hee/planned CJ ENM Studios/production Eggs Coming) ahead of its premiere on April 12. The spin-off drama of 'The Life of a Doctor Who Dreams of a Doctor Who's Who's Who's Who' is about residents who dream of becoming a Doctor Who's Who.
In the play, Gu Dong-won, the oldest resident of obstetrics and gynecology, is a perfect person in all aspects with both personality and ability. It is expected to serve as a warm supporter and savior for juniors based on its excellent skills and ability to cope with situations as a 'Trust Man' of Yulje Hospital's obstetrics and gynecology clinic visited by everyone from professors to interns.
Koo, who has been busier than anyone else due to his major, will share the growth period of freshmen residents in his first year, and expectations are high on what he will look like.
Jung Joon-won, who has undergone various transformations such as a loyalist detective and a passionate probationary reporter, will challenge medical dramas for the first time through the role of a doctor and perform a new character. Expectations are even higher for the fresh performance of Jung Joon-won, who turned into a senior doctor who takes care of his juniors with affection.
Jung Joon-won, who started his acting career through the movie 'The Bird Man' in 2015, has shown solid acting skills by expanding his scope in various works such as the films 'Dongju', 'Park Yeol', 'The Table', 'Little Forest', 'Dogeon 1,2', 'Body collection.zip', 'Departure', drama 'VIP', 'Hirsch', and 'Model Family'.
In particular, in the film 'escape', which was released last year, he captured the audience's attention with his impressive performance of doubling the tension with his excellent character digestibility by decomposing into the role of subcommittee Park, a North Korean platoon leader who obeys the orders of his superiors.
Attention is focusing on how Jung Joon-won, who is meeting the public with a new charm across genres, will perform in his work 『Someday, the Life of a Major』 starring Jung Joon-won.
Meanwhile, Jung Joon-won's character transformation is expected to premiere at 9:10 p.m. on April 12th.
