-Residents of the neighborhood were initially shocked because they thought there was a real disaster had occurred. "Did something happen here?" (The residents)

A loud sound of sirens wailing broke the silence of a quiet Sunday morning at Gangnam Seongmo Hospital. It was because the cast of
"General Hospital 2" was filming the premiere episode scheduled to air on the 19th.
On this day, the cast of
"General Hospital 2", who has been busy filming the show, worked all day to film the most important and biggest scene, where a boarding house collapses for the premiere episode.
In the scene, an old boarding house eventually collapses, where Southeast Asian workers and low-income residents are tragically injured (# This script was written in August and has nothing to do with the recent boarding house accident)
The disastrous tragedy leads to an emergency situation of countless patients who have serious injuries such as lost limbs or third degree burns. The situation becomes so critical that
Do Ji-won (who plays Hye-soo) along with all the doctors and nurses in the Emergency Medicine division are called to the scene.
Jung Ha-yoon (played by
Kim Jeong-eun), who was at the hospital to apply for residency, witnesses the scene and tries to volunteer as a doctor, but is stopped by Choi Jin-sang (played by
Cha Tae-hyeon). The two of them get into an argument, which eventually ends with Ha-Yoon leaving the emergency room.
Hye-soo (
Do Ji-won), the head of the ER department, is successful in managing the patients in critical condition with her calm and analytical judgment in this bloody scene.
The filming of this scene started at 4 am, and used a large number of amateur extras from Southeast Asia and over 10 ambulances. Many extras who were dressed as policemen and fire fighters were also recruited for the scene, which helped the scene look like a real disaster. The blood used for approximately 50 of the actors who played the patients in the scene amounted to an astonishing twenty 1.5 bottles.
The medical consultation provided by coordinator Kim Sun-mi, who had worked 15 years as a nurse and now preparing to become a writer, were a big help in making the scene look realistic. This was because she prepared the actors and trained them repeatedly at the rehearsals, which eventually lead to great performances in the actual filming of the scene.
"General Hospital 2", the return of the original series, will portray humanism, move you to tears, and make you laugh. Please look forward to the return of this original TV series which will air on the 19th at 9:55 pm.
