Doctor Slump teaser out: Park Hyung Sik, Park Shin Hye showcase high school rivalry

Park Hyung Sik and Park Shin Hye are gearing up for the premiere of their upcoming K-drama Doctor Slump. It will release on January 27. Ahead of its release, the makers unveiled its teaser video.

Teaser offers a glimpse of resuscitating doctors in dark times

The teaser of Doctor Slump hints at a rom-com with a playful and surprising twist, set to bring laughter to the audience. It unfolds the story of two doctors, Yeo Jeong Woo (played by Park Hyung Sik) and Nam Ha Neul (played by Park Shin Hye), navigating through the darkest periods of their lives. Former rivals, the narrative follows their journey as they reunite and eventually become each other’s source of light, offering both laughter and comfort.

The first teaser, resembling a page from a pure romance comic, captures the expressions of the lead pair, invoking memories of first love. Jeong Woo’s narration, starting sentimentally with “Back then, the girl I liked…,” takes a humourous turn to reveal, “Back then, the girl I absolutely loathed.” This intriguing shift in tone sparks curiosity about the dynamic of their relationship.

Nam Ha Neul's narration adds another layer, stating, “Back then, the boy I wanted to grab by the collar! We met again in the worst slump of our lives.” The teaser unfolds with a scene of the two, bewildered, meeting after 14 years, as their past and present intertwine.
