The outlet sheds light on the plotline sharing, “The two rivals who hate each other will reunite in the darkest period of their lives and become each other’s light, delivering smiles, excitement, and heartwarming comfort along the way. The two who will spend both their brightest and lowest times together raise anticipation for how they will depict their search for happiness.”

Park Hyung Sik will transform into genius plastic surgeon Yeo Jung Woo who gets pushed to the edge following a mysterious medical accident. Park Hyung Sik said of his role, “I am both nervous and excited because it’s my first rom-com in a while. I’m glad and excited to meet actress Park Shin Hye after a long time and to work together again.”

Meanwhile, Park Shin Hye will portray anesthesiologist and a workaholic Nam Ha Neul who is experiencing burnout syndrome. She has always lived her life diligently immersed in her studies but suddenly resolves to change one day while looking back on her broken life.

Park Shin Hye shared, “Anyone can fall into a slump in their lives. I tend to think a lot about how to wisely overcome that moment and to live in good health, so I related to the figure of Nam Ha Neul. I felt a sense of familiarity with the situation she faced, so I was more attracted to her. I will work hard to film so that I can deliver comfort to the many people who have become tired in life.”

Yoon Bak will play the role of a pretentious and pitiful plastic surgeon Bin Dae Young who has one-sided rivalry with Yeo Jung Woo. Gong Sung Ha will play Nam Ha Neul’s best friend and OB/GYN (obstetrics and gynecology) anesthesiologist Lee Hong Ran.

Gong Sung Ha said of her role, “I am grateful to have been given the role of Lee Hong Ran, and I also feel a sense of responsibility. With this character’s bright energy, I want to put in all my heart to make a great project with precious people. Please anticipate Gong Sung Ha’s Lee Hong Ran.”

Doctor Slump will be helmed by director Oh Hyun Jong (Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo) with a screenplay coming from Baek Sun Wo (What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim).
