What people are saying
Min Joon Ho is a competent doctor and a caring father who is deeply trusted by those around him.
Although he has a gentle and kind demeanor, he rarely reveals his true feelings, making it difficult to read his emotions and intentions in any situation.
As an actor, Min Joon Ho’s ambiguity—the fact that it’s difficult to determine what he’s thinking or which side of him is real—was what appealed to me most.
