Hospital Playlist spin-off, Resident Playbook, maintained its impressive ratings, heading into its penultimate week. According to Good Data Corporation's latest report, it became the most buzzworthy drama, with leads Go Yoon Jung and Jung Joon Won securing the #1 and #2 spots, respectively, on the actor list for three weeks straight. Their on-screen chemistry and the blossoming romance of a second couple likely fueled its growing popularity.

Additionally, the beloved cameo-maker, Choi Hyun Wook, also broke into the list, ranking No. 7. His brief scene might go down in K-drama history as one of the most popular special appearances.
