Released on January 27, "Doctor Slump" is in its final week as the medical-romance series will officially bid goodbye on March 17. 

While the JTBC series showcases an impressive response from the viewers, Park Hyung Sik said he "strongly" relates to the premise of the K-drama, which focuses on an individual's experience of going through a slump. He told Elle Korea about his hope for the people who are watching "Doctor Slump."

"I hope that by watching our drama, people will be comforted by the idea that 'It's not just me; everyone is living like that.' I was especially drawn to 'Doctor Slump' because it felt so human."

As mentioned, the series is his reunion project with Park Shin Hye after 11 years, as both stars first worked together in "The Heirs." He expressed how "impressed" he is with how his co-star "suddenly whipped out emotions as if she'd pressed a button," adding that he "learned a lot" just by watching Park Shin Hye.
