Resident Playbook

The medical drama enters a new phase with this 2025 spin-off focused on the high stakes of the obstetrics and gynecology wing at Yulje Medical Center. The narrative prioritizes the frantic momentum of first-year residency, concentrating on how the transition from student to trainee shapes a person’s professional identity and personal stamina.

Go Youn-jung leads a cast tasked with balancing clinical precision alongside the unpredictable nature of patient care. The series distinguishes itself by scaling down the hospital experience to the specific, repetitive, and deeply physical discipline of gynecological training. By centering the story on the grind of early career development, the show captures the tension between wanting to be an exceptional doctor and the reality of working within a complex, demanding medical system.
