Popular “Hospital Playlist” Character Glow Up In “Resident Playbook” Episode Sparks Major Reactions
Hospital Playlist is one of the most iconic K-Dramas, and one character has shocked netizens with his “glow up.”
One of the most-loved main characters was Kim Jun Wan, played by Jung Kyung Ho. While he seemed cold and was more straight to the point than his friends, he captured the hearts of netizens with his hidden warm side.
Well, Jun Wan has returned to the show’s spinoff series Resident Playlist.
The show is seeing cameos of the OG five doctors from the series, and the recent episode saw teasers of Kim Jun Wan making an appearance.

Even with the “glow up,” netizens loved that Jun Wan’s character and aura were the same: someone who is witty and sometimes can seem cold but is actually very caring towards those around him.
