• TV Chosun Saturday-Sunday Drama 'Doctor Shin' Interview with Actor Cheon Young-min, who plays the role of Kim Jin-joo

Actor Cheon Young-min shared his impressions of working with Writer Lim Seong-han through 'Doctor Shin'.

Recently, Cheon Young-min conducted an interview at the StarNews headquarters in Jongno-gu, Seoul, regarding the Saturday-Sunday drama 'Doctor Shin' (script by Lim Seong-han, directed by Lee Seung-hoon), which concluded on the 3rd. On that day, Cheon Young-min shared various stories about the production.

'Doctor Shin' is a medical thriller drama about a genius doctor who challenges the realm of God and a woman who loses her soul as her brain deteriorates overnight.

In the drama, Cheon Young-min portrayed Kim Jin-joo, a stylist for Momo (played by Baek Seo-ra) who became conscious of Momo's brain.

On that day, recalling the audition for 'Doctor Shin', Cheon Young-min said, "Since it was a work by Writer Lim Seong-han, many people participated in the audition. I originally went prepared for the role of Geum Ba-ra (played by Joo Se-bin) and didn't even consider the role of Jin-ju. However, the director asked me to try out for Jin-ju," he explained.

During the audition, Writer Lim Seong-han reportedly told Cheon Young-min that he had a "dual-faced" quality. Cheon Young-min shared, "I thought I looked kind, but the writer said, 'Your eyes have a sharpness to them and give off a sense of hidden intentions.'"

He also shared his impressions of meeting the mysterious Writer Lim Seong-han. Cheon Young-min said, "Rumors circulated that she was a scary person, but after actually meeting her, she turned out to be very 'tsundere.' She treated me to many delicious meals, spoke only about necessary matters, and shared a lot about how to live life and her attitude toward life."

He continued, "The writer wanted us to deliver lines exactly as written, without changing even a single syllable. Actions and stage directions were detailed down to the smallest point. Although it was a promise we made, this part was difficult at first, but as we went along, it became more comfortable."

Additionally, Cheon Young-min stated, "I thought the writer would write about people's lives or deep melodramas. As I read the script, the emotional lines were incredibly detailed. In particular, the emotional journey of Geum Ba-ra (played by Joo Se-bin), who has a secret crush on someone, was deeply relatable," emphasizing the delicacy of the script.
