According to Good Data Corporation's Findex, it has secured first place in drama buzz for three consecutive weeks, emerging as the most talked-about work of this spring.
With only two episodes left until the conclusion of 'ResPl', the performance of actor Kang Yoo-seok, who added a life-changing character as the first-year obstetric resident Um Jae-il at Jongno Yulje Hospital, is also garnering attention.
Kang Yoo-seok has grown more wisely than anyone else while solidly building the character's narrative, showcasing diverse charms and chemistry. Having firmly made his mark on the global stage with the role of Yang Eun-myeong in Netflix's 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', Kang Yoo-seok is on a path to success with 'ResPl'.
In particular, Kang Yoo-seok, who delivers laughter, emotion, and excitement in every episode, has enhanced the immersion and completeness of the drama while winning the audience's infinite trust. This has also stirred anticipation for his upcoming performances yet to be revealed. We reflect on the diverse accomplishments of Kang Yoo-seok, who has opened endless charm boxes in 'ResPl'.
◆ POINT 1. The positive energy and perfect chemistry created by the human vitamin!
The Um Jae-il depicted by Kang Yoo-seok is a character that is impossible to hate. From the first episode, Um Jae-il, who urges his colleagues to have dinner together, showcased his charm and friendliness, capturing the hearts of both other residents and patients.
In the competitive environment of the residents, he has been the reliable center while also demonstrating problem-solving abilities that ease worries and conflicts. Through this, Kang Yoo-seok's skills have shone as he perfectly embodies the character of Um Jae-il, characterized by cheerful laughter and an endearing demeanor.
Additionally, Kang Yoo-seok, who is the very embodiment of a human vitamin in the drama, crafted a delightful and natural chemistry with guests such as Bae Hyun-seong and Shin Hyun-bin during their special appearances, brightening 'ResPl'. He also showcased standout performances alongside Tomorrow X Together members Soobin and Yeonjun, eliciting admiration. When his idol charm was fully released, the drama's enjoyment surged.
◆ POINT 2. The audience's favorite pick! The wise character's wise growth narrative!
While the residents, who were clumsy with everything, gradually become accustomed to their work and understand patients, the story conveys a strong resonance. Kang Yoo-seok's passionate performance further solidifies Um Jae-il's narrative. Although Um Jae-il initially bombarded senior residents with questions, he quickly recognized his shortcomings and tirelessly worked to overcome them, ultimately evolving from a novice into a competent resident.
Kang Yoo-seok's detailed expressions and fluid emotional acting make his character's growth stand out, prompting audiences to consistently root for him. Attention now focuses on how Kang Yoo-seok will convey emotions and warmth in the remaining two episodes.
◆ POINT 3. The accelerating romance between the High Boys and Hello Girls ♥ Exceeding excitement levels!
Kang Yoo-seok's romance exceeds mere excitement. The anticipated romance between Um Jae-il, a member of 'High Boys', and Kim Sa-bi (played by Han Ye-ji), a member of his fan club 'Hello Girls', is already a hot topic. The charm points of his first love he previously mentioned in relation to his encounter with Jang Gyeo-ul bring Kim Sa-bi to mind. Um Jae-il, shown to be increasingly attentive to Kim Sa-bi after they danced to a 'High Boys' song at karaoke, has only heightened the intrigue.
Moreover, Kang Yoo-seok depicted not only moments of longing and disappointment towards the placid Kim Sa-bi but also expressed concern and comfort in an endless manner. This has significantly sparked curiosity about another romance Kang Yoo-seok will portray in 'ResPl'.
Thus, Kang Yoo-seok, who continuously opens charm boxes with diverse appeals and leads 'ResPl' with a fresh look each time, fills every moment with harmless charm and genuine acting. His hard carry is expected to continue until the very end.
The 11th episode of Kang Yoo-seok's 'Resident Playbook' will air on the 17th (Saturday) at 9:20 p.m.
