Similar to the shows Prison Playbook and Reply, Shin Won Ho's team is currently holding auditions for actors. PD Shin Won Ho's popular project, Hospital Playlist, began in March 2020.

The success of the drama: 

Hospital Playlist Season 1 and 2 became a fan-favorite for depicting the beautiful friendship between these 5 doctors who also have different outlooks in life but get along swimmingly. The series gives homage to all the doctors, nurses and other staff members in a hospital that work day in and day out to make sure their patients receive the best care. They also focus on the lives of these doctors and beautifully entwine their personal and professional lives.
