Lee Nak-jun, the creator of Netflix's 'Severe Trauma Center' and a doctor, praised actor Joo Ji-hoon.
On the 12th, Lee Nak-jun, the original web novel writer of 'Severe Trauma Center' and an ENT specialist, appeared as a guest on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block'.
On that day, Yoo Jae-suk said, "Baek Kang-hyuk is literally a hero. There are no crises. He overcomes everything." Lee Nak-jun joked, "In the original work, Baek Kang-hyuk is superhuman, so he doesn't get hurt. If something flew at him, he would probably catch it."
Lee Nak-jun stated, "Bringing a character from a novel into reality, right? In writing or comics, the resolution is low, so viewers are forgiving. But dramas don't allow for that kind of thinking. (Joo Ji-hoon) convincingly brought Baek Kang-hyuk to life on screen. After watching, I couldn't think of anyone else as Baek Kang-hyuk other than Joo Ji-hoon."
When Jo Se-ho asked, "Does Baek Kang-hyuk have any flaws?" Lee Nak-jun replied, "He is afraid of ghosts. He is really scared of paranormal phenomena. Because his senses are so sharp, he even sees ghosts and gets scared."
Lee Nak-jun also revealed another setting for Baek Kang-hyuk. He said, "Since Baek Kang-hyuk is smart, there is a setting where he made a lot of money through stock investment. As of 2019, his total assets are in the hundreds of billions. He invested in stocks properly."
Meanwhile, 'You Quiz on the Block' airs every Wednesday at 8:45 PM.
