tvN‘s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Someday, Hospital Residency’ (Creator Shin Won-ho, Lee Woo-jung, Director Lee Min-soo, Writer Kim Song-hee) is similar to ‘Hospital Playlist’ but is also heralding a different worldview.

‘Someday, Hospital Residency’ (abbreviated as ‘Eunseuljeon’) is a story about new people in a fresh setting, promising familiar yet different fun.


● The story of ‘Someday, Hospital Residency’ residents, not ‘Wise’ professors

According to the production team, ‘Someday, Hospital Residency’ is not about professors who have already grown into adults and working adults, but about fresh graduates taking their first steps into society. It depicts the process in which first-year residents in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Jongno Yulje Hospital, 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), grow into adults after going through many twists and turns.

Instead of the professors in the ‘Hospital Playlist’ series, these people are less skilled and less socially adept, and they begin to grow up while receiving scolding and praise in an unpredictable daily life. From tasks that feel difficult no matter how hard they try to relate to all kinds of people they meet for the first time in their life, the process in which the residents struggle to do their part as individuals is reminiscent of the days of being a freshman in society that everyone has experienced at least once, and is expected to be just as entertaining as the ‘Hospital Playlist’ series.



● Expanding the worldview to Jongno Yulje Hospital! Another story about people at Yulje Hospital

‘Someday, I Will Be a Wise Resident’ is set in Jongno Yulje Hospital, not the main branch of Yulje Hospital in the ‘Hospital Playlist’ series, and the worldview has expanded even further. Although it has the same roots of Yulje Hospital, the branches of the story branch out in various directions.

Among the various fields, it focuses on the obstetrics and gynecology department and deals with the stories of everyone who visits the hospital, not only doctors and nurses, but also mothers, patients, and guardians. It is noteworthy what stories each of the people gathered at Jongno Yulje Hospital have.

Also, since they share the same roots of Yulje Hospital, the connections with characters in the existing ‘Hospital Playlist’ series are revealed one by one, adding to the interest. Accordingly, attention is focused on what is happening in another space, Jongno Yulje Hospital, not the main Yulje Hospital.

The production team said, “While maintaining the same framework as the existing series of everyday and relatable stories, small but warm stories, we added newness by portraying the growth of young trainees, while maintaining the original color and telling a new story. We think we will be able to provide a completely different feeling of empathy from ’Hospital Playlist‘.”

’Someday, Wise Resident Life‘ will premiere at 9:10 p.m. on the 12th.
