Two currently broadcasting dramas, tvN's "Hospital Playlist" and KBS 2TV's "Fix You", are presenting a group of determined doctors who are different from what we know. They are Jung Kyung-ho and Shin Ha-kyun.

The associate professor of cardiothoracic surgery Kim Joon-wan (Jung Kyung-ho) from "Hospital Playlist" is a 'tsundere' doctor. He's the eccentric one of the cardiothoracic department. He's devilish to residents and even more so to patients.

Unlike Do Jae-hak (Jung Moon-sung) who gives hope to serious patients, Kim Joon-wan (Jung Kyung-ho) explains symptoms as they are. It's his doctor's principle to deliver facts transparently even though a patient may feel despair. He believes its better than giving them false hope and having circumstances get worse.

Kim Joon-wan speaks very coldly to his fellow doctors and patients, but he's actually deep at heart. A child with a rare condition was operated on by him, but when the child passed away, he dressed up in black clothes and attended the child's funeral.

Kim Joon-wan, who seemed to have no interest in other people's work, also accepted the post of chief of cardiothoracic surgery, which he refused for his colleague.

When Do Jae-hak, who made a slip of the tongue in the process of receiving complaints from his patient's guardian, was in danger of getting his salary deducted, Kim Joon-wan took care of things as the section chief. He's currently showing signs of sweetness in the romantic relationship with Lee Ik-soon (Kwak Sun-young).

Lee Si-joon (Shin Ha-kyun) from "Fix You" is an oddball doctor that cures even the souls of the viewers. Lee Si-joon, a psychiatrist at Eunkang Hospital, will do anything for a patient's treatment. He sacrifices himself for his team and shows devotion but never misses humor in any serious situation and always spreads positive energy.

Lee Si-joon is picky and quite bad-tempered, but has the gift of speech that can ease anyone and has a strong belief about his methods of treatment. This sometimes leads to conflict with the people around him, but the way his patients change prove that his eccentric methods work.

Among them, Lee Si-joon appears sorrowful as he hangs on to other people's wounds, while his own wounds are not treated. He found his father, Lee Taek-kyung (Choi Jung-woo), suffering from dementia and walking around the streets in his underwear in the middle of the night, and he shed tears thinking of his father, who was a proud surgeon in the past.
