Jung Joon-won Calls “Resident Playbook” His Happiest Time Despite Early Criticism
As tvN’s Resident Playbook wraps its heartfelt run, lead actor Jung Joon-won has taken to social media to reflect on the experience—describing it as one of the most joyful periods of his career, even amid early visual criticism from viewers.
On May 19, a day after the series finale aired, Jung shared a touching message with fans:
“Thanks to all the viewers who loved Resident Playbook, I experienced one of the happiest times of my life. I’m truly grateful—thank you again and again.”
The post also included a collection of behind-the-scenes photos, showcasing the cast’s close bond and playful moments.
Fellow actors Go Yoon Jung, Shin Si-ah, Kang Yoo-seok, and Han Ye-ji were featured, capturing the warm energy that defined both the set and the series.
Adding a humorous twist, co-star Go Youn-jung, who played Jung’s love interest Oh Yi-young, left a playful comment under the post:
“It’s my birthday tomorrow!” — a lighthearted note that fans quickly showered with likes and birthday wishes.
Despite some initial backlash over a so-called “visual mismatch” between the couple, their emotional chemistry and sincere performances ultimately won over viewers, adding depth and warmth to the series.
