The interview
Shin Won-Ho talked about the popularity, and said that he thinks the audience came in after they found certain aspects charming. They are usually the chemistry between the main cast, the music, the band, or the warm stories between the doctors and patients. You find one thing attracting and end up loving everything the show offers.
He was able to air one episode a week, which is uncommon for Korean dramas. The usual number is two per week. The fatigue of the cast and crew were reduced since they aired only one episode. It also offered them more creative freedom.
About season 3
About season 3, he said that there are still many stories he can tell about the patients and their guardians. However, due to the exhaustion of producing two seasons, it won’t be an easy decision on whether they want to continue or not. He also added that the five main actors had no difficulty after the 10-month hiatus between both seasons, and got into the groove easily. He called it a fascinating experience.
