Ah, it's FINALLY the month of June and you know what that means—Hospital Playlist Season 2 is coming! After more than a year, our favorite group of doctors is back and we can't wait to see what they're up to now and how chaotic their friendship will be! Aaaaaand of course, we're also excited to get an update on the romantic relationships here.
If you love Hospital Playlist for its compelling and touching storyline just like us, we have to thank screenwriter Lee Woo Jung. She's best known for stitching empathy to her dramas and giving it plenty of heart, and this is the reason why every episode of Hospital Playlist just hits close to home. IDK about you but it always feels like I'm listening to old songs on the radio on a Sunday whenever I watch it. In short, it gives that warm, fuzzy feeling that no other medical drama can top.

Aside from the emotional appeal, K-dramas by Woo Jung writernim will take you on a trip down memory lane. She injects nostalgia into her works and it can be as simple as reliving your childhood spent with your neighbors, like in Reply 1988. Before you know it, you're already sobbing in a corner. Most of the time, you'll find yourself in one of the characters, resonate with a certain scene, or be in a trance—and this is what you call the Woo Jung ~*magic*~.
The screenwriter often collaborates with director Shin Won Ho (and their series were all broadcasted on tvN!) and if you'll notice, some of the cast members would appear in her K-dramas many times. This includes Jung Kyung Ho, Yoo Yeon Seok, and our fave appa, Sung Dong Il, to name a few. So for the second installment of Hospital Playlist, we're extra excited to know what the special cameos will be!
