The second episode, which aired on the 13th, recorded a national viewership of 4.0% based on Nielsen Korea, up 0.3%P from the first episode, signaling a cruise. Above all, the person who caught the attention of viewers was definitely Koo Won, played by Jung Joon-won.
Oi-young, a first-year resident, was at a crossroads, helplessly caught up in the demanding work and unfair situations with his boss, but there was always Koo Won by his side. His careful consideration of returning to the hospital, which did not give in to the criticism of the anesthesiology department and tried to protect his juniors and pack meals for hungry juniors, left viewers with a heavy resonance. In particular, as the excitement contained in Oi-young's gaze was added, Koo Dong-won immediately became 'ideal senior'.
Actor Jung Joon-won was born in 1988 and made his screen debut in the 2015 film `The Bird Man' and made his face known in dramas `VIP``````````. And for the first time in this 'Unseuljeon', he started a full-fledged meeting with the public. Creator Shin Won-ho expressed deep trust in him, saying, `He was an actor who had been kept in the jewelry box for a long time.' Director Lee Min-soo evaluated it as `an actor who is reliable but can even handle being scolded by his easy-going juniors.'
In Oi-young's growth narrative, which is the centerpiece of the drama, Koo plays more than just a romantic partner. Sometimes as a real adult and sometimes as a senior in life, he brings warm temperatures to the play. In particular, as the production team explained "Not a hard adult", Jung Joon-won's unique comfortable and relaxed performance completes Koo as a hard-loving character.
Since the broadcast, various SNS and communities have received responses such as "Goo-won's real ideal type" and "Jeong Joon-won rediscovered as a drama," and some fans have even nicknamed "Light Dowon" showing signs of syndrome.
On the other hand, 'Someday, Life of a Major' is a drama about a first-year resident growing up to become a real doctor through denial, anger, compromise and depression, and airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
