The medical human romance starring Lee Jae-wook and Shin Ye-eun finally premieres today (the 1st).
Today, ahead of its first broadcast, ENA’s new Monday–Tuesday drama Doctor on the Edge dropped still cuts capturing Do Ji-e (played by Lee Jae-wook) and Yook Ha-ri (played by Shin Ye-eun) as they make a dynamic arrival on a remote island.
Doctor on the Edge kicks off with a rollicking story as public health doctor Do Ji-e, who carries deep-seated island-related trauma, runs into a string of unexpected incidents from day one. The hurdles he faces at the local clinic promise plenty of laughs, while a flurry of episodes centered on the newly arrived “island boy” is set to pull viewers right in.
Above all, the spectacular reunion of Do Ji-e and Yook Ha-ri on Pyeongdong-do stands out as the key highlight of Episode 1. The production team teased, "In the first episode airing today (the 1st), new incidents will keep erupting in front of Do Ji-e, who struggles to take his first steps because of island trauma. Please look forward to the colorful Pyeongdong-do residents and the stories they’ll create together."
With the premiere looming, prospective viewers are already split: some say, "Lee Jae-wook’s new character transformation is a perfect fit," while others admit, "Judging by the photos alone, their visual chemistry still feels unfamiliar."
Meanwhile, Doctor on the Edge, which showcases Lee Jae-wook and Shin Ye-eun’s fresh chemistry, premieres tonight at 10 p.m. and will also be available via Genie TV and Disney+.
