Shocking buzz alert: Rising actor Kim Yoon-woo is stealing the spotlight with chemistry so strong it rivals the main couple, turning living rooms nationwide into full-on stans.
ENA’s Monday-Tuesday drama Doctor on the Edge first hooked viewers with Lee Jae-wook and Shin Ye-eun’s synergy—then doubled the hype with the fresh, flirty romance between Lee Soo-kyung (29) and Kim Yoon-woo (25).
In the series, Kim plays Yong Ju-cheon, an MZ-generation Korean medicine doctor who confidently categorizes people by Sasang types. With his bright, playful personality, he’s basically the island’s resident idol, adored by locals. After keeping fans on edge with a risky almost-relationship with nurse Eom Jeong-seon (played by Lee Soo-kyung), Yong Ju-cheon finally makes it official, and the two become each other’s strongest supporters—serving up a heart-fluttering romance.
After the latest episodes, netizens raved: "He’s the definition of a sweetheart," "His facial expressions are insanely versatile," "I’m watching for the second couple," and "He’s cute and he can really act."
Kim Yoon-woo debuted in the 2021 Netflix film Zappo, then made a powerful impression on the public as Ryang-eum in MBC’s My Dearest. Effortlessly moving between period and modern roles, he keeps expanding his range—and fans are excited to see what new charms he’ll unveil this time.
Meanwhile, Doctor on the Edge airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. KST on ENA and is also available on Genie TV and Disney+.
