Lee Seo Jin Talks About The Reactions To His Transformation For Upcoming Medical Comedy Drama

Dec 16, 2021

TVING’s upcoming original drama” Internal Medicine Director Park” (literal translation) has released new stills of star Lee Seo Jin!

Based on a webtoon, “Internal Medicine Director Park” is a reality-oriented comedy that depicts the “funny and sad” life of a doctor. Director Park dreamed of becoming a true doctor, but he agonizes between the art of medicine and his business abilities in a clinic with barely any patients.

The drama previously shocked viewers with a look at Lee Seo Jin’s complete transformation into Director Park. Lee Seo Jin said, “Ever since I was young, I’ve always liked the comedy genre. Back then, comedy skits were all the rage, so I enjoyed shows like ‘Humor No. 1.’ I also like American sitcoms like ‘Modern Family’ and other comedy shows. I chose this drama because it gave off B-comedy vibes.”

He continued, “As an actor, I don’t think costumes or makeup are hard for me to do. When we first did the bald style, I laughed with my entire staff at the result. When I revealed the style on set, everyone cheered. I saw their reactions and thought, ‘I did well to take on this style.'”

Lee Seo Jin also shared a funny reaction he had seen after the reveal of the poster, saying, “I saw a comment that said, ‘Lee Seo Jin works so hard, I should work hard as well.’ I saw that and thought, ‘Now I have to work harder too.'”

The new stills released by TVING show the balding Director Park sitting with a firm but kindly gaze behind his doctor’s desk. Interestingly, there is a wig on the stand beside him. In other stills, he puts on the awkward-looking wig as he strolls cheerily through the park and peeks carefully out of his office.
