Actor Jung Jun-won is making a deep impression as he captures the home theater with his charming presence in "Bichdo-won."
Jung Jun-won is actively showcasing the warm qualities of a 'senior' who saves the first-year newcomers as he stars as the fourth-year resident Kudo-won in the gynecology department at Jongno Yulje Hospital in the tvN weekend drama "Resident Playbook," which premiered on the 12th, effectively winning viewers' hearts from the early stages of the broadcast.
In the drama, Kudo-won is the most senior resident in the gynecology department and appears like a Superman who shows up whenever something happens. Jung Jun-won captures the charming image of the warm senior Kudo-won, who firmly supports the newcomers with clear situational judgment, a calm demeanor, and a meticulous personality, garnering enthusiastic responses from viewers.
In particular, every appearance of Kudo-won provides viewers with refreshing catharsis that dispels their frustrations while also conveying sweet moments in which he compassionately supports his junior colleagues, delivering a strong immersion.
# I will protect my juniors! The 'junior protector' Kudo-won
Kudo-won's reliable support for his junior Oh Yi-young (played by Go Youn-jung) in front of a colleague from another department who criticizes her remains one of the most notable scenes from the recent second episode. His sweet attitude of prioritizing Oh Yi-young's well-being and insisting that he will scold his juniors personally has certainly been enough to make many viewers feel excited. In this scene, Jung Jun-won detailly expresses Kudo-won's character with a resolute gaze and a deep voice, enhancing the character's allure.
# Reality advice for juniors! The 'warm advice' to Kim Sa-bi
The warm senior Kudo-won did not hold back from delivering stern advice for his juniors. His reality check for Kim Sa-bi (played by Han Ye-ji), who was solely focused on obtaining surgical consent forms, helped her realize the importance of thinking about the patients, which resonated profoundly with viewers. Jung Jun-won depicts this desirable aspect of senior Kudo-won in a warm yet charismatic manner, adding depth to the character.
# Thoughtful consideration for busy juniors! The 'warm senior' who treats them well
Taking care of the juniors was also Kudo-won's responsibility. Kudo-won, who visited the first-year resident office early in the morning, caught viewers' attention when he showed a thoughtful gesture by bringing hamburgers for the juniors who were skipping meals. His consideration, even amidst the busyness, charmed those who witnessed it.
Thus, Jung Jun-won perfectly embodies Kudo-won through solid acting skills and dense expressiveness, becoming Kudo-won itself. As more viewers eagerly anticipate his appearance, he is firmly establishing himself as a favorite character in the home theater.
Thanks to this popularity, Jung Jun-won achieved the remarkable feat of ranking second in the K-content drama search issue keyword rankings announced by Good Data Corporation for the second week of April. Additionally, following the broadcasts of the first and second episodes, mentions of Jung Jun-won and the Kudo-won character surged across various social media platforms and communities, with portal search trends also skyrocketing, indicating rising expectations for his future performances.
