Everything You Need to Know about Birthday Girl, Jeon Mi Do
Jeon Mi Do has become a household name and is widely known not just in South Korea but also in neighboring countries due to her role as the neurosurgeon Chae Song Hwa in "Hospital Playlist."
Surprisingly, on contrary to her character as the tone-deaf bassist of the 99ers, the 39-year-old actress also starred in musicals and has been recognized for her singing ability.
According to reports, she won Best Actress awards for musicals "Sweeney Todd," "Once," and "Maybe Happy Ending."
Meanwhile, her impressive performance in the medical K-drama earned her a nod at the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards for Best Actress in a TV category.
On the other hand, another fun fact about the actress is that during her audition for "Hospital Playlist," she also tried the role of Jang Gyeo Wool.
Luckily, she landed the lead role of Chae Song Hwa, which then received a lot of praise from the casting directors.
With Jeon Mi Do getting Song Hwa's role, this means that she needs to play the bass, and to fulfill her character better, the 39-year-old actress took a guitar lesson in the summer before their production started.
"We all practiced on our own, then we finally got together to play. We had sessions before filming began, and we met up often," she mentioned, as obtained by the local outlet, adding, "When we began filming, we were already close, so it was easy."
Now, with the ongoing success of K-drama "Hospital Playlist 2," Jeon Mi Do is in talks to appear in an upcoming series with Hallyu star Son Ye Jin for the rom-com drama "Thirty-Nine."
