Actor Jung Jun-won is showcasing his detailed expressive skills that bring his character to life.

Jung Jun-won plays the role of Koo Do-won, a fourth-year OB/GYN resident, in tvN's weekend drama 'Someday Wise Resident Life.' As the chief resident, he embodies the 'true adult attitude,' captivating viewers with his character's charm and taking responsibility for his juniors.

In episodes 5 and 6, aired on the 26th and 27th, Koo Do-won was seen giving meticulous advice and guidance to his first-year juniors, who are new and inexperienced. His firm yet caring demeanor, especially towards Oh Yi-young (played by Go Yoon-jung), who lost her temper at an intern, and his sharp advice to Um Jae-il (played by Kang Yoo-seok), who relies too much on seniors, resonated deeply with viewers.

Despite his busy schedule, Koo Do-won listens to the concerns of Kim Sa-bi (played by Han Ye-ji) and offers advice, embodying the 'ideal modern senior' and making many wish for a 'Koo Do-won in every workplace.'

Additionally, the recent episodes revealed a budding romance between Koo Do-won and Oh Yi-young, adding a sweet excitement to the storyline. Although Koo Do-won initially rejected Oh Yi-young's confession, he begins to develop feelings for her boldness, especially when she stands up to Myung Eun-won (played by Kim Hye-in) on his behalf. His reactions to Oh Yi-young's straightforwardness, from being flustered to smiling warmly, have fans rooting for their love line.

Jung Jun-won continues to add depth to the 'all-rounder' character of Koo Do-won with his nuanced acting, making the character more compelling with each episode. His ability to switch from a senior to a potential romantic interest, with changes in tone and expression, has sparked significant interest and contributed to the show's popularity.

Meanwhile, 'Someday Wise Resident Life' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM.
