Kang Yoo-seok is reborn as an idol of the obstetrics and gynecology department of Jongno Yulje Hospital.

tvN‘s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Someday, My Life as a Wise Resident’ (creator Shin Won-ho, Lee Woo-jung, director Lee Min-soo, scriptwriter Kim Song-hee, abbreviated as ‘Hospital Playlist’) is a spin-off of ‘Hospital Playlist’ that contains the process of residents who dream of becoming wise doctors one day going through a ‘intermittent period of initiation’ and growing up. The logline is set up with a hopeful meaning within the framework of a drama, but in reality, it is not a dream but reality. The worldview depicted in the work is closer to fiction as many factors such as grades and possibility of opening a practice are reflected to decide on a major. The reality of the medical world is more intense and cold depending on the specialty.

Kang Yoo-seok plays the role of Um Jae-il, a first-year resident in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Jongno Yulje Hospital. Um Jae-il has a unique history, having gone from being a former idol member with only one hit song to becoming an obstetrics and gynecology resident.


Although he gets scolded every day, Um Jae-il’s passion is hotter than any of his peers. With his natural wit and sly personality, not only the obstetrics and gynecology patients but also the nurses love Um Jae-il, so expectations are high for Um Jae-il‘s performance as the ‘endorphin of the obstetrics and gynecology department’.

The photos released by the production team show Um Jae-il’s daily life, making his seniors sigh and his patients laugh. While sharing snacks with the nurses and spreading positive energy to the obstetrics and gynecology department, he also makes a sullen face when getting scolded in front of his seniors. The day of Um Jae-il, who goes back and forth between hot and cold water several times a day, is drawing attention.

‘Someday, the Life of a Wise Resident’ will be first broadcast on April 12th at 9:10 PM.
