Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk are set to transform into doctors.
The TV CHOSUN weekend miniseries 'Confidence Queen' (written by Hong Seung-hyun and Kim Da-hye, directed by Nam Ki-hoon, produced by TME Group) has secured the 7th spot in the drama TV-OTT search response rankings for the second week of September, as announced by Good Data Corporation. Additionally, since its premiere, it has maintained a position in the worldwide TOP 9 in the Amazon Prime TV show category, according to Flix Patrol.
In the upcoming episodes 5 and 6, airing on Saturday, the 20th, and Sunday, the 21st, the 'Team Confidence Man' trio, Yoon Yi-rang (played by Park Min-young), James (played by Park Hee-soon), and Myung Goo-ho (played by Joo Jong-hyuk), will target villains in the medical field, heightening curiosity to its peak.
In this context, Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk will appear as the 'Global Doctor Dream Team,' skilled in high-difficulty surgeries. In the drama, Yoon Yi-rang and Myung Goo-ho, both possessing genius-level IQs of 165, will transform into the mysterious renowned doctor Rachel and her first assistant, Daniel, entering the operating room with other crew members. Both characters are perfectly set in doctor coats and surgical attire, with Yoon Yi-rang leading the crew with charisma and determination.
Myung Goo-ho, showcasing a unique look with hair highlights, stands by Yoon Yi-rang's right side with a serious expression, intensifying the solemn atmosphere. The scene raises questions about whether the 'Genius Con Artist Leader' Yoon Yi-rang will actually perform surgery, as it promises a genius medical performance.
Meanwhile, Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk have drawn attention with their intelligence and sociability, perfectly fitting their characters. Park Min-young demonstrated her fluent English skills by communicating with foreign actors in the crew, while Joo Jong-hyuk enjoyed playful interactions and games with fellow actors, embodying the 'sociable' Myung Goo-ho.
The production team stated, "The extraordinary antics of 'Team Confidence Man' in the medical field will surpass imagination," adding, "Look forward to the fantastic chemistry between Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk and the beyond-imagination developments in episodes 5 and 6."
'Confidence Queen' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 PM on TV CHOSUN and Coupang Play, and is available globally on Amazon Prime Video in 240 countries and regions, excluding Korea.
