In the second season, Han XingCao Zhengyi, who starred in "The Witty Doctor's Life", is still the audience's pistachio, and privately he is also the atmosphere maker of the filming scene, and there is no lack of humorous speeches when interviewed. However, in an interview in 2012, he mentioned that the family environment in the past was completely different from the present, which made the audience lament that his success was not easy to come by.

When Cao Zhengyi faced the death of his father when he was 20 years old, the family's income plummeted, making him a low-income household. Admitted to Seoul National University of the Arts, he even could not apply for a student loan from the bank because of his low credit, and faced the dilemma of having to suspend his studies. Cao Zhengyi admitted that he was extremely miserable at that time, "I thought about self-severance at that time, but I didn't have the courage. Later, when I returned to school, my father suddenly passed away, which was very painful for me and was a great trial. ”

His mother became his strength to survive, and because his income was too low, he applied for exemption from military service to take care of his mother at home, and mother and son depended on each other in a small space. Cao Zhengyi worked hard, including working as a temporary worker at a construction site. Fortunately, his acting talent was not buried, Cao Zhengyi started as a musical theater actor in 2004, accumulated a number of works, and finally won TV series and film invitations in 2011 and 2012, and performed "First Love Dream Building 101" with Xiu Zhi and Li Dixun.

He was over 30 years old at the time, and can be said to be a senior newcomer, but Cao Zhengyi desperately became the male protagonist, and his performances of "Oh My Ghost God King" and "The Embodiment of Jealousy" were well received. Now he has worked hard to form a happy family with Gummy, the Queen of OST, and continues to shine in "The Life of a Witty Doctor".
