Lee Jae-wook, Shin Ye-eun's K-drama 'The Worst Evil' Hits 5%

ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Doctor Slump' is showing an upward trend, surpassing 5% viewership ratings within just two episodes. The second episode, aired on the 2nd, recorded 5.0% nationwide and 5.1% in the Seoul metropolitan area, with the highest minute-by-minute rating soaring to 5.6%, securing the No. 1 spot among all channels in its time slot.

The drama depicts the story of public health doctor Do Ji-han (played by Lee Jae-wook) and nurse Yoo Eun-woo (played by Shin Ye-eun) as they meet and experience events at the Pyeondong-do Public Health Center. Initially, the two show wariness towards each other, but as they care for patients, they gradually begin to understand each other and reveal their individual wounds.

In particular, the treatment process of resident Kim Jeong-bae became an opportunity to bring the two closer. In the process of persuading and treating a patient who had lost the will to live, Yoo Eun-woo conveyed her sincerity, and Do Ji-han began to open up emotions he had not easily shown before.

Amidst Pyeondong-do's unfamiliar culture and the residents' demands, Do Ji-han strove to uphold his principles as a doctor. His focus on the patient's condition and treatment, even in conflict situations with residents, demonstrated his responsibility and beliefs.

The broadcast also depicted changes in relationships with the residents of Pyeondong-do. While conflicts surrounding the public health center continued, Do Ji-han built trust by fulfilling his role as a medical professional. However, at the end of the broadcast, resident Park Chun-sik (played by Woo Hyun) expressed anger towards Do Ji-han, foreshadowing an unexpected conflict and raising curiosity.
