In the latest episode of the Korean drama Resident Playbook, the main couple Yi Young (Go one Jung) and Do Won (Jung Joon Won) made an important step forward in their relationship.
After missing the dinner date that disappointed Yi Young, Do Won admitted that he liked Yi Young. The couple officially confirmed their relationship and publicly held hands and went back to the apartment together. However, Do Won was so tense that he gave an excuse to return to the hospital to work.
Understanding her boyfriend's concern, Yi Young let Do Won go and said he would take him to the first floor. Before the two entered the elevator, Yi Young took a bold action when he smelled Do Won's cheeks, stunning him.
At this time, Do Won became more brave. When the two got into the elevator, he took the initiative to pull his girlfriend back and gave each other a real kiss.
The first kissing scene between Go Youn Jung and Jung Joon Won shocked the audience who loved the couple. The shy expression of the character Do Won and the initiative of the female lead Yi Young also delighted many viewers.
However, the expected scene of the main couple could not satisfy another part of the audience. They consider the elevator kiss scene between actor Jung Joon Won and Go one Jung Jung to be one of the worst kisses in Korean movies, because it looks very shy and fake.
In this scene, viewers could not clearly see the couple's kiss, because Do Won turned his back towards the elevator door and obstructed his view. The scene ended with the elevator door closing down at the same time Do Won turned to kiss Yi Young.
Many opinions say that the way of filming this type of kissing scene is quite outdated, awkward and the two actors should do a more realistic kiss.
In addition, other viewers rated Jung Joon Won as unsuitable for the male lead role in the film, especially when co-starring with Go one Jung. The actor was criticized for his less outstanding appearance than Go one Jung, so he could not create an explosive chemical reaction.
There are even comments that the unattractive male lead is one of the factors that prevent the film from attracting more viewers and only hover at an unimpressive rating level, far behind the previous main film Hospital Playlist.
On the contrary, many viewers defended Jung Joon Won, saying that some viewers were too harsh and criticized him despite the fact that the actor was not the type of person they wanted.
Although Jung Joon Won is not outstanding in appearance, he is praised for his charming acting and expressions, creating an interesting contrast to the female lead's personality and initiative.
The Story of the Boarding Doctor is improving when the latest episode (episode 9) recorded a rating of 6.2%, the highest since it aired.
