It‘s finally revealed after a long wait.

The spin-off drama of the popular series ‘Hospital Playlist’, ‘Someday, I Will Be a Wise Resident’ (Resident Life), will premiere on April 12th.

On the 12th, tvN revealed this fact and released a poster and teaser video with the cast’s faces.

‘Resident Life’ was originally scheduled to air in the first half of last year, but was indefinitely postponed due to the conflict between the government and doctors over increasing the number of medical schools at the time.

This drama is a spin-off of the ‘Hospital Playlist’ series, whose seasons 1 and 2 aired in 2020 and 2021, but features different characters as the main characters. It depicts the process of residents who dream of becoming doctors going through a period of denial and growth.

The appearance of the young actors centered around Go Yoon-jung (as Oh Yi-young), Cynthia (as Pyo Nam-kyung), Kang Yoo-seok (as Eom Jae-il), Han Ye-ji (as Kim Sa-bi), and Jung Joon-won (as Koo Do-won) is drawing attention.

Amid growing curiosity about the daily life of the obstetrics and gynecology department that they will portray, the name tag poster contains the faces of first-year residents Oh Yi-young (played by Go Yoon-jung), Pyo Nam-kyung (played by Cynthia), Eom Jae-il (played by Kang Yoo-seok), and Kim Sa-bi (played by Han Ye-ji) on their ID cards.

The residents‘ various expressions on the ID photos on the name tags give us a glimpse into their personalities.

In addition, the comeback teaser video begins with the appearance of the quintet in ‘Hospital Playlist’ and then shows the appearance of the obstetrics and gynecology department of ‘Jongno Yulje Hospital’ and the appearance of the first-year residents in ‘Resident Life’.

The tense expressions of those who ignore the professor’s (played by Lee Hyun-kyun) scolding to come to the hospital to find Oh Yi-young, and the sight of Oh Yi-young hiding behind the door while preparing to leave work, are hilarious.

The production team said, “We want to tell a story that anyone who is new to society can relate to through the process in which the main characters, who lack knowledge, medical skills, and composure, grow,” and “Please look forward to the growth period of the youth who go through trials and tribulations in an unfamiliar and awkward workplace and move forward at their own pace.”
