Actor Shin Ye-eun (28) shared her impressions of working alongside fellow actor Lee Jae-wook, her same-age co-star, for the first time in "Doctor Island Boy."

On the afternoon of the 26th, a production presentation for ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama "Doctor Island Boy" was held at D-Cube City in Sindorim, Guro-gu, Seoul. Director Lee Myung-woo and cast members Shin Ye-eun, Hong Min-ki, Lee Soo-kyung, and Kim Yun-woo attended. Male lead Lee Jae-wook was unable to attend as he enlisted in the army as an active-duty soldier on the 18th.

"Doctor Island Boy" is based on the webtoon "Holding Strategy (Holding Through Volatility) Doctor." It is a medical human romance depicting Do Ji-ye (played by Lee Jae-wook), a public health physician who arrives on the notorious, avoided island of Pyeondongdo, and nurse Yuk Ha-ri (played by Shin Ye-eun), who harbors many secrets.

On the day, when asked about her experience working with Lee Jae-wook, Shin Ye-eun said, "I had been thinking about meeting him once (in a work) for a while."

She added, "Since we are the same age and I have watched a lot of Lee Jae-wook's work, I thought we would have an energy that makes things comfortable as peers. However, because we are the same age, we were actually more careful with each other. If we became too close, it could interfere with the work. So, we each performed our roles as doctor and nurse well, and within that, we considered each other. Even without explicitly saying things like 'I wish you did it this way,' (Lee Jae-wook) would immediately know what I wanted just by looking at my eyes. I definitely felt he is an actor with solid experience. I felt very comfortable while acting." She expressed high satisfaction.

The first episode of "Doctor Island Boy" will air at 10 p.m. on June 1.
