With the production of the Netflix series 'First Doctor' confirmed, Jung Ryeo-won transforms into a pediatric surgeon.

The Netflix series 'First Doctor' is a breathless story unfolding at the front lines of life, where doctors on the brink of collapse, such as Heo Ji-wan (played by Jung Ryeo-won), and a pediatric surgery department facing a crisis of existence, confront the most fragile lives.

Jung Ryeo-won returns this time as a pediatric surgeon. 'Heo Ji-wan', portrayed by Jung Ryeo-won, is a top-tier professional with undeniable skills and a strong sense of mission, but due to his blunt and unreserved personality, he is known as the hospital's 'troublemaker'. After an unexpected accident forces him to return to the unwanted 'Yeonhwa Hospital', Heo Ji-wan struggles to protect the pediatric surgery department and the future of children.

Ha Yoon-kyung delivers a powerful performance as 'Gi Eun-kyul', a bold and spirited third-year resident at Yeonhwa Hospital. Though she appears rebellious, she is sharp and skilled with her hands, earning the attention of the chief surgeon from her first year. Gi Eun-kyul is expected to form a peculiar tense relationship with Heo Ji-wan, clashing with him over every issue.

Baek Hyun-jin is cast as 'Son Sang-baek', the chief surgeon of Yeonhwa Hospital, promising a performance full of realism. Renowned actor Kim Jong-soo takes on the role of Vice President 'Lee Chang-gon', helping to calibrate the tension in the drama. Kim Mu-yeol plays 'Bae Soo-wol', a professor of anesthesiology and pain medicine. Bae Soo-wol, with his friendly personality and warm demeanor, is a colleague who has known Heo Ji-wan for a long time. The third collaboration between Kim Mu-yeol and director Hong Jong-chan also draws high expectations.

'First Doctor' marks a reunion of director Hong Jong-chan, who received acclaim for 'Youth Judge', and writer Kim Min-seok. Set against the backdrop of a pediatric surgery department facing a crisis of existence, 'First Doctor' tells the story of people struggling to protect the smallest lives.

Expectations are high for what kind of resonance and emotional impact 'First Doctor' will deliver.
