He went on, "Being able to play the bright and famous character, IK Jun, by getting to meet great staff, actors, and the production team through a drama, was like a blessing. Further, thanks to all the audience members who stayed with us every Thursday evening. Please, remember "Hospital Playlist" season 2, and please, 'Pick Me Again.'"
Yoo Yeon Seok, in character as Dr. Jung Won, is a pediatric surgeon whose wealth and religious background provides him more chances to help others.
He was quoted saying, "Sincere thanks for the huge love and support. I was blissful during these seven months. Our Mi Do and Parasol members - we were perfect partners. Let's frequently meet for band practice. While it's saddening that the first season is ending, I'm excited and anticipating our meeting again soon with season 2."
Jung Kyung Ho, in character as Dr. Jung Wan, is a chief professor of cardiothoracic surgery.
Like his fellow cast members, he is thankful for the audience and expressed, "We finished season one with grateful mindsets. It's a reassuring drama since it's not yet the end. To Mi Do and Parasol, I feel like we capped off an entire series while just laughing. It's a relief to think that we were able to meet each other, at least."
He added, "Thanks to all the ones who loved us. We will meet the viewers with an even more plentiful new season."
Kim Dae Myung, in character as Suk Hyung, is the silent and sweet doctor and an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology.
He said, "Thanks to scriptwriter Lee Woo Jung who permitted me to meet Yang Suk Hyung with this amazing project. Thanks to director Shin Won Ho, who did each moment into life's happiest times in front of the camera. To the staff members who are considerate, friends who I was delighted to be with, the viewers who witnessed our stories, thanks for sharing your heart with us. Let's meet soon."
Jeon Mi Do, in character as Dr. Song Hwa, is the only lady and anchor among her friends, and an associate professor of neurosurgery. She is kind to her subordinates and serves as an inspiration to the young aspiring doctors in the hospital and the love interest of Suk Hyung that never succeeded. Ik Jun, on the other hand, wishes to make it happen after keeping his feelings for her since their college days.
Jeon Mi Do stated, "I can't believe it's already the finale. Thanks for giving us profuse love. Although it's saddening, we still have second season!"
