Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Yong-pal' term references illegal doctors serving gangsters, a genuine underground phenomenon in South Korea's healthcare system.
Kim Tae-hee took this role after a five-year hiatus specifically to play against her pure 'nation's first love' image—the coma patient's awakening scene was her deliberate career pivot.
