Actor Kim Sung-chul has confirmed his appearance in "Sleeping Doctor" and will transform into his first doctor since his debut.

KBS 2TV's new drama "Sleeping Doctor" (directed by Lee Hyun-kyung, Lee Jin-ah/scripted by Baek Eun-kyung) depicts a romantic cardiopulmonary resuscitation of Hong-kyung, a novice self-employed person, and Nam Ji-oh, a daily pay doctor, at a private psychiatric hospital.

Kim Sung-chul played the role of Nam Ji-oh, a 'heeler psychiatrist' who has natural talent in the play. Nam Ji-oh, who has been studying medical knowledge in all fields, struggles to save Hong-kyung's crumbling hospital (Jin Ki-joo). He clashes with Hong-kyung over treatment or hospital management, but gradually begins to sympathize with her and feel attracted to her.

Kim Sung-chul has been active regardless of genre, including the recently released Netflix original series "Monthly Boyfriend," Netflix's "Hell" Season 2, dramas "We Are That Year," "Do You Like Brahms?" and movies "Project Y," "Fruit," "Owl" and the musical "Death Note." He, who has proven his solid acting skills across screens, CRTs, OTTs, and stages, will challenge his first role as a doctor since his debut through this 'Sleeping Doctor' and heralding another acting transformation. Expectations are high on how the wide spectrum of acting that has been accumulated so far will shine in this work.

In this regard, the production team said, "Kim Sung-chul and Nam Ji-oh characters' synchro ratio is close to perfect. Expectations are high on how Kim Sung-chul, who has excellent acting skills, will digest Nam Ji-oh's narrative, which is a versatile doctor but has deep wounds. Please pay a lot of attention to what kind of performance Kim Sung-chul, who has a charm that gets more and more drawn to him, will perform," he said.

"Sleeping Doctor" was joined by director Lee Hyun-kyung, who directed "Cinderella Game" and "Drama Special 2023-Confession Attack," and writer Baek Eun-kyung, who wrote "Somehow Jeon Won Ilgi." Following Jin Ki-joo, who confirmed his appearance earlier, Kim Sung-chul, who has shown solid acting skills regardless of genre, is joining, raising expectations.

"Sleeping Doctor" has completed the production preparation stage and begins filming in earnest.

Meanwhile, Kim Sung-chul suffered an ankle injury on the 15th and urgently canceled and coordinated his appearance in the musical "Des Note."
