I’ve been shooting “Doctors” since June and it’s my current focus now. I will be busy with this drama until mid-August.
How do you feel about fans comparing “Doctors” to “Descendants of the Sun”?
It’s very hard to compare the dramas because I think they are very different. [“Descendants” was] fully pre-produced so there’s a lot more time to prepare and film, and for “Doctors” we’re shooting as the drama airs.
It’s a lot more challenging but that is what makes the filming fun.
We pretty much just dived into it. The drama didn’t start off with me as a doctor, so I was able to ‘grow up’ with Hye Jung.
Medical dramas are tougher than I’d imagined it to be – you have to know the medical procedures and portray it convincingly. Even little details like the sanitising of hands.
