[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-joo] Actor Yoo Yeon-seok has announced his return to the small screen with 'Hospital Playlist.'

In the first episode of the tvN drama 'Hospital Playlist,' which aired on the 12th, Yoo Yeon-seok played the role of pediatric surgery professor Jung Won, one of the five medical school friends.

In this episode, Jung Won accidentally played a recording of a consultation that a guardian, who doubted his diagnosis, was secretly recording, and he responded tactfully so as not to embarrass the guardian. He also showed a caring side by easing the tension of a young patient who was afraid of the hospital, saying, "Teddy bear, did you come because your stomach hurts?"

Jung Won, who was thought to be a kind doctor, had a secret unknown even to his friends of 20 years. He was the youngest son of a conglomerate chairman and secretly helped patients who could not afford treatment due to their circumstances, acting as a 'kind benefactor.'

At the end of the broadcast, Jung Won could not hide his sorrow when Min-young, a patient he had been treating with all his effort for several years, passed away. After receiving a thank you from Min-young's mother (played by Yeom Hye-ran), who had always been sensitive and difficult, he quietly shed tears.

Jung Won visited his brother, a priest, and expressed his grief, saying, "I am not qualified to be a doctor. I cannot control my emotions."

Meanwhile, starring Yoo Yeon-seok along with Jo Jung-suk, Jung Kyung-ho, Kim Dae-myung, and Jeon Mi-do, the tvN drama 'Hospital Playlist' is a drama that tells the story of people living ordinary yet special days at a hospital and the 20-year friendship of medical school friends.
