Actress Go Youn-jung is gaining enthusiastic responses from viewers with her multifaceted and charming performance in the tvN weekend drama 'Resident Playbook' (hereinafter 'RP').
Go Youn-jung plays the role of 'Oh I-young,' a first-year obstetrics and gynecology resident, delicately portraying warm sincerity within her blunt manner. Her deep empathy towards patients and guardians, genuine commitment to work, and the growing inner strength exhibited through her performance are depicted more persuasively as the episodes progress.
In particular, the scene in the last broadcast where Oh I-young comforts a child on the brink of saying goodbye to their mother through her own trauma of losing her mother as a child resonated deeply. The way she holds the child's hand and gives her contact information while saying to reach out anytime, paired with Oh I-young's sad emotions as she weeps like a child while missing her mother, is intricately expressed through Go Youn-jung's gaze, trembling voice, and restrained crying, leaving a lasting impression.
Along with this, Go Youn-jung adds fun by portraying Oh I-young as a cute and lovable character who is disarmed in front of Koo Do-won (played by Jung Joon-won). Oh I-young's straightforward romance, which continues to flirt without getting tired of Koo Do-won's 'iron wall,' evokes smiles from viewers because of its sheer adorableness.
Additionally, Oh I-young's quirky and candid comedic side is a major source of entertainment. The moments where she gets overly honest and becomes aware of her surroundings and shrinks back, waking up the next day after drunkenly confronting her senior professor Seo Jeong-min (played by Lee Bong-ryun) and Gong Gi-sun (played by Son Ji-yoon) only to turn pale upon recalling her actions, all elicit laughter through Go Youn-jung's realistic performance.
Initially, Oh I-young viewed the hospital as 'a place to escape once her debts are repaid,' but as time passes, she begins to find fulfillment and shares camaraderie with her senior and junior colleagues. Go Youn-jung's sincere acting naturally depicts her fully embodying the character of Oh I-young.
Go Youn-jung's multifaceted charm is reflected in various chart rankings, proving her popularity. Go Youn-jung has established her unique presence by ranking first for three consecutive weeks in the TV-OTT integrated topic performer rankings announced by the Good Data Corporation's FUNdex on May 7.
'Resident Playbook' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
