Yoo Yeon Seok, who played Yulje's pediatric surgeon Ahn Jung Won, feels grateful to those who showed love for Hospital Playlist and his character.
He added: "I’m also grateful to the Mido and Falasol members. The time we spent playing and acting together was a period of happiness, learning, and unforgettable memories. The two years that I spent with the Hospital Playlist family was a very precious time for me. I hope that we can meet again just as we are now.”
Prison Playbook actor Jung Kyung Ho said that his role as Kim Joon Wan, a cardiothoracic surgeon, "was a real turning point" for him.
"It was an honor to be able to act with the other ’99s’ and I’ll always remember our time together happily. While filming Hospital Playlist, I realized anew that one’s health is the most important thing. I hope that the viewers will take good care of their health," he said.
Meanwhile, Kim Dae Myung, or obstetrician-gynecologist Yang Seok Hyung, regards this "happy time" with the cast and crew as a "gift," and for that he is grateful for director Shin Won Ho and writer Lee Woo Jung.
"To the coolest cast and crew in the world, and to the 99s, with whom I can no longer live without, I want to say I love you. To the viewers, who became our friends starting in season one, thank you from the bottom of my heart,” the actor added.
And finally, Jeon Mi Do, the brilliant actress who played neurosurgeon Chae Song Hwa, is very "happy to have spent" three years working with the entire cast and crew of Hospital Playlist.
"I want to thank all the viewers who loved Chae Song Hwa as well. I was able to receive the best gift that an actor can receive through Hospital Playlist. Every day I spent as Chae Song Hwa was a happy one. I will anticipate the day that I can meet the Hospital Playlist family once again," Jeon shared.
Hospital Playlist 2 ended on its highest viewership rating. Nielsen Korea reported that the final episode, which aired on Sept. 16, scored an average nationwide rating of 14.1 percent.
According to a statement shared by the Hospital Playlist production team to Newsen, while the cast members are eager to do another season, there are currently no plans for a third season for the show.
"Both the production team and the cast do want to work together if plans for a third season are conceived someday, but there are no specific plans for a third season right now," said the source.
The drama's director Shin Won Ho previously said during the press conference that there are "no specific plans" for a new season.
He said, “The original plan was to air in the same season across three years, but I told [the actors] that they are not tied up for the next season and that they should freely take on other projects. I said if we happen to return later on, we can do it then. There are no specific plans for Season 3 right now.”
