Although the same with hospital playlist (yulje universe and cameos, slice of life genre) but the target audience…
Exactly. Different format. Different target audience. Different approach/focus. Differeet themes. HP and RP can't really be compared, it just so happen they share the same Yulje universe.

Look at Han Yeji (Kim Sabi). She's a newbie in the TV/Film industry. We don't know if she did theatre plays, but she really did well for her first screen acting. (Even if she had theatre experience, the demands for screen acting is far different from theatre acting.)
You won't see that she's worried her acting was not up to par, especially in the midst of veteran and popular actors. She's relaxed. It was clear she was having fun.
It's only possible if synergy is present. Because with synergy, you naturally understand and feel that the other actors will fill-in were you lacked in the scene. You know that they have your back and that it isn't a competition, or someone wants to win Best Actor/Actress. You won't feel that you're dragging everyone down because your fellow actors are there supporting and pulling you up.
That's synergy, a far more important factor than having "chemistry".
Jung Junwon in an interview before the last episode was aired shared heartfelt feelings about the drama"The scene…
> He also praised Go Younjung " I was able to receive attention because my partner who I matched with was Youn Jung-ssi. Youn Jung-ssi is a great actress. It was harder to act as the one receiving the plotting than the one doing it. I just let everything go and went with the flow of the play, but Youn Jung-ssi made their relationship convincing."
THAT!
I said in my review that they did not outshine each other, instead they complemented each other. What one actor was failing to deliver or not good at or whatever reason, another actor is filling in, thus it is "covered" and not affecting the scene.
Usually, this synergy only happens if the actors are having fun and not stressed nor tired. It wasn't only him whi went with the flow, they all did. There wasn't even anything that was forced. They were all at ease if they cannot give their all because they trust their fellow actors will fill-in for what they lacked in the scene. So, the pressure on them is far less than usual, enabling them to relax and enjoy.
I just noticed this, but the actor who plays intern Gi On, he's doing a string of leading roles now. He's got…
The common misconception is that actors start as guests, then support roles, and then main roles, and they'll always stay in main roles. I even got into an argument about it here in MDL a few years back.
However, that is not the case at all. It rarely is actually.
An actor, be it new or not, if they showed their talent in one show, they will always be remembered by Producers, Writers, Directors, and Cast Directors. They can be given support roles a lot, or plenty of main roles too. It doesn't matter how famous they are.
There are actors who chose to only stick to support roles. There are actors who chose to stick to main roles. And take note, support and main roles can be further divided into "minor and major support" and "minor main and leading main" roles.
Here's another factor. Propucers, Writers, Directors, Casting Directors, and fellow Actors (and their respective teams), all talk about a new name. They whisper the person's name and talent in their respective circles. A writer from anothe station might ask their director friend in another network if they know someone, and they'll recommend a new talent.
№3. The talent agency itself. Most talents are handled by an agency. If it's a big agency, they often receive a lot offers and early scripts. They read it, assess it, and find which of their talents will fit a certain role.
"Hey talent A, I think you'll do great in this role. Study the script, they'll have an audition on YYYY-MM-DD, be sure to be there."
Or, the agency is contacted directly and informed them they want to interview talent B for a role. They pre-discuss the terms over the phone so the agency knows what it is about and if it is worth it. Then,
"Come in talent B. I received a call and they want you for Role C. They're willing to accomodate your current schedule but it still is your decision. They'll conduct an interview on this day so you can decide if you want it, but on their end it's a done deal, they want you and the character was made with you in mind."
№4 and is less known. Actors usually are discovered in theatre plays as well as indie works. MDL, and other sites, doesn't have every work listed. I've occasionally encountered works not listed only to find out that it was because the project was indie. And usually, indie works are not known outside of the origin country.
Kim Taeri, she so far only did one theatre play when she was scouted for The Handmaiden. That film catapulted her name and fame overnight. Someone who is not even known in the both the theatre and TV/film industries suddenly became a household name.
№5. They were child actors. Not necessarily in major works. It can be indie works or strge plays in their hometown. Then a talent recruiter discovered them and gave them a project. They weri so satisfied, the entire crew were talking about them, it spread in the industry.

There is no such rule that actors should start small or at the bottom. It all comes down to their talent.
It's actually easier here in Pacific Asia because it's more common for Producers, Writers, Directors, and Cast Directors, to directly scout talents. It is only in the West were actors, even household names, have to audition first. Yes, many of the MCU actors actually auditioned, they weren't scouted for the role.
Here in Pacific Asia, actors are commonly scouted, even those with very minor roles.
And again, your agency can make or break your career as well. 😉
Oooh, she's definitely in love. Hahaha.But I wonder what the 2FL will do. She will probably fall in love because…
That was like:
2FL: First of all b***ztch, I was never his girlfriend so I'm not his ex. 2FL: Secondly, I will neve date him even if he offers me his entire fortune, which by the way, he no longer has any. 2FL: Thirdly, who the heck are you to tell me to mind my own business? I'm a celebrity chef, and you're just a backwater cook of some unknown restaurant in a secluded place. 2FL: Lastly, I graduated from CIA and my boyfriend as well (Yeonseok?), and you? You learned to cook from your mother?
1FL: *smiles mischievously* CIA, you say? *crosses her arms and rolls her eyes*
yeah haha why they put it on the tag tho😭 they should've put that tag if the age gap is 15 years or something…
There are many sensitive people here in MDL, often pushing their own cultural and religious sensitivies over a fictional show made by Koreans for Koreans.
Since MDL is American-owned, and American culture is all about sensitivities and making new issues every 3 months, they add every tag they can think of to cater to people even if it doesn't make any sense. 🤪 Like in this case, they're sensitive to 5 years age gap be it real life or fiction. They added that because people will complain endlessly if they _accidentally_ watched the show. 🤷🏽
What is it that Yeon Ju said to Yeong Hye that made them look shocked and speechless
2FL: Did you what he did and who he really is? 1FL: I will find it out myself, the "ex-girlfriend" can stay out of it.
It doesn't matter if they really had a relationship or not, the 1FL's reply was her: 1. standing-up 2. telling 2FL in a "diplomatic" way to STFU 3. marking her territory 4. Taking ownership of 1ML 5. giving 2FL a warning to never cross-the-line nor to stand between her and the 1ML
For 2FL, she was shocked because (1) they never had such a relationship; (2) it was an insult to be called an ex, of all things because that implies she was too dumb to dump him ir he dump her; (3) being told to STFU was an insult to her status and reputation (she's a celebrity chef).
For 1ML, he was shocked because he totally did not expect it from 1FL, all this time he sees her as someone who hates his being, and he fully understood that 1FL was marking her territory.
But I wonder what the 2FL will do. She will probably fall in love because her pride was trampled on when 1FL said, "I'll find it out, the ex-girlfriend can stay out of it". Like, da*n, even if they never had a relationship, that was a total slap on her. 🤣🤣🤣
They can do two things: 1. 2022–2023 webisodes bridging HP and RP. For example, Webisode 1 gives us more about Kim Sabi's family of renowned doctors. In Webisode 2, the HP characters were talking about an incident of a 1st year Resident who bit a fellow. In Webisode 3, the wedding preparations. In webisode 4, the disbandment of Hi-Boyz and his decision to be a doctor. And so on.
The webisodes will serve as a fun, "fan service", bridge. It is episodic (for those not familiar, episodic = no overall arc). And a webisode is usually 5–15 minutes long only.
2. 2021–2022 HP3. Instead of the usual format, it should be either a short series or a direct-to-disc or direct-to-OTT movie.
This is the only fitting timeline for any HP3 possibility. Why? Because the cameos in RP1 pretty much sealed everything that HP is over, there are less stories to tell.
If they set HP3 in 2023–2024 or 2024–2025, they'll have to deal with the cameos and movement of characters. Would HP be the same without Doctor Chuchu? Sure, they can push it to 2023–2024 and that's pretty much it. There's definitely no HP after 2024 as far as the original characters are concerned.
So, the best time period is 2021–2022. But since there won't be much stories to tell, and they'll end up rehashing the same patient stories too, it's better to keep it a short series. 6 episodes will do. Or, a movie. If they don't, they're risking tarnishing HP's overall rating. This is common in the West, later releases tarnished the overall rating of the franchise because they powers-that-be want to milk it when it already ended on a high note.
