Ahn Hyo-seop, who swallowed romance, is adding variety to the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim 3'. Not only did it capture both viewership and topicality upon its first broadcast last week, but episode 3, which aired yesterday, is receiving a warm response, recording the highest viewership rating of 15.8%. In particular, the popularity of 'Seo Woo-jin', who inherited Master Kim's teachings with his ability level at full level during the three years of the play, and the performance of Ahn Hyo-seop, who is completing Seo Woo-jin, are continuing.

In episode 3, which aired on the 5th, focusing on the fall accident of the national ski team, the various relationships between Seo Woo-jin, Kim Sa-bu (Han Seok-gyu), Cha Eun-jae (Lee Sung-kyung), and Jang Dong-hwa (Lee Shin-young) added fun to the drama. Jang Dong-hwa wanted to give the national representative who visited the hospital due to feigning illness some fluids so that he could rest, but Seo Woo-jin firmly drew the line, saying that doctors do not even manage patients' stress. As the conflict between Seo Woo-jin, who has to push his junior doctor, and Jang Dong-hwa, who feels dissatisfied and disappointed with Seo Woo-jin, continues, curiosity arose as to how Seo Woo-jin, who is growing into a decent senior, will resolve this conflict.

Afterwards, the player, who had returned to feigning illness, was taken to Doldam Hospital again due to a fall accident during practice. Seo Woo-jin, who was faced with a choice between his life as a player and the life of a patient, prioritized his position as a national team member, for whom his life as a player was like his own life. Master Kim, who continued to worry about this together, found a way to save both the player's life and the patient's life, and decided to perform nerve sutures that could save the player's life first.

However, Cha Jin-man (played by Lee Gyeong-young), who came to the trauma center under the condition that Master Kim would not be with him, did not understand this decision by Master Kim and was angry, and Seo Woo-jin said, "Sabu Kim's priority is to save the patient unconditionally." He expressed his firm faith in Master Kim by saying, “It is both a teaching and a romance.” Meanwhile, Seo Woo Jin's will to remain at Doldam Hospital rather than going to the trauma center where Master Kim is not present caused tension as the start of another conflict.

The sweeter romance with her lover and colleague Cha Eun-jae was enough to bring smiles to viewers. Not only the sweetness of making Cha Eun-jae's favorite tomato juice, but also the cute appearance of jealousy when he sees fellow Lee Seon-woong (Lee Hong-nae) eating the tomato juice he gave him, showing his affection for Cha Eun-jae without hesitation. Seo Woo Jin's new charm was depicted, adding to interest.

In this way, Ahn Hyo-seop perfectly expressed Seo Woo-jin, his student, senior, and lover, and completed the sweet and salty chemistry with each character. In 'Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim 2', the main story was the growth as a doctor, but this time, the various charms, charisma, and tense tension of the human Seo Woo Jin were portrayed from the beginning, raising expectations for the development.

Showing the image of a skilled doctor, while also trying to communicate with the world in his own way despite the responsibility and burden that comes with it, is depicted as another effort of Seo Woo Jin who barely escaped isolation in a rough yet friendly way, and is receiving support from viewers. This is why the synchronization between Seo Woo Jin, who will grow once more, and actor Ahn Hyo-seop, who shows a great passion for acting with sincerity and consistency, shines more than ever.
