Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the filming process while getting close to the other players," he said. To get into his role as a doctor, Gong Myoung admitted to thinking a lot about how to make his character look convincing. "I wanted to look neater than before, and because the character is a doctor, I wanted to give a trustworthy impression.
