tvN’s highly anticipated weekend drama, Resident Playbook, premieres on April 12, bringing viewers into the unpredictable and emotional world of first-year obstetrics and gynecology residents at Jongno Yulje Hospital.
Resident Playbook follows Oh Yi-young (Go Youn Jung), Pyo Nam-kyung (Shin Si Ah), Eom Jae-il (Kang You Seok), and Kim Sa-bi (Han Ye Ji)—four newly minted OB-GYN residents navigating the chaos of their first year. From struggling to assist mothers in labor to hesitating before approaching patients, their journey is filled with challenges, growth, and moments of pure heart.
With a simple but earnest goal—“Even if I’m not perfect, I want to at least do my part”—they dive headfirst into their demanding roles, learning that when it comes to mothers and babies, every effort matters. In a touching moment from the teaser, a newborn’s first cry is met with a whispered “Hello”—a mix of awe, exhaustion, and emotion that sets the tone for this deeply human story.
A Glimpse into the Fast-Paced World of First-Year Residents
The newly released first-year rounds poster captures the residents’ mid-sprint, papers flying, notebooks clutched tightly, and even a missing shoe—symbolizing their frantic yet dedicated daily lives. The imagery evokes memories of the Hospital Playlist rounds poster, but with a twist: instead of composed professors, we see these four young doctors racing through the halls, their expressions filled with urgency and uncertainty.
Will they someday walk with the same quiet confidence as their mentors? Resident Playbook promises to explore their journey with warmth, humor, and deep emotional resonance, set in a department where new life begins and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
tvN’s Resident Playbook airs its first episode on Saturday, April 12, at 9:10 PM KST. With creators Shin Won-ho and Lee Woo-jung backing the project, this heartfelt drama is set to deliver a moving, relatable, and ultimately uplifting story of growth, friendship, and new beginnings.
