Fans of the hit medical drama Hospital Playlist have reason to celebrate—tvN is bringing back the heartwarming atmosphere of Yulje Hospital with its new spin-off, Resident Playbook (Korean title: 언젠가는 슬기로울 전공의생활).

 

Slated to premiere in April, the drama promises to deliver a fresh yet familiar take on the medical slice-of-life genre that captured viewers’ hearts from 2020 to 2021.

On tvN’s official channel, a teaser was released featuring the beloved main cast of Hospital Playlist standing once again in front of Yulje Hospital.

 

The nostalgic visual was accompanied by a message that read, “Thank you to everyone who has waited for us,” immediately stirring excitement among longtime fans.

 

The teaser continued with the line, “A story of people who will one day become wise at the returning Yulje Hospital,” officially signaling the arrival of a new era at the hospital.

Unlike its predecessor, which followed the lives of five close friends working in various departments, Resident Playbook shifts focus to the OB-GYN (obstetrics and gynecology) department.

 

Set at Jongno Yulje Hospital—a new branch of the original Yulje—the story follows the lives, challenges, and growing friendships of four first-year OB-GYN residents as they embark on their demanding yet meaningful journey to become skilled doctors.

 

The newly revealed character lineup has already generated buzz.

The teaser poster introduced the residents through their name tags: Oh I-young (played by Go Youn-jung), Kim Sa-bi (Han Ye-ji), Pyo Nam-kyung (Cynthia), and Um Jae-il (Kang Yoo-seok).

 

These new characters are expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the Yulje universe, each offering their own stories and perspectives on the rigorous world of medical residency.

 

Despite the change in cast and focus, Resident Playbook is clearly designed to retain the warm tone and emotional storytelling that made Hospital Playlist a nationwide favorite.

 

The original series earned critical acclaim and a massive fanbase for its authentic depiction of doctors as ordinary people with extraordinary compassion.

 

It struck a delicate balance between hospital drama and heartfelt friendship, and Resident Playbook seems poised to continue in that spirit.

There’s also growing curiosity about whether any of the original characters will make cameo appearances, providing continuity between the two series and offering longtime fans delightful surprises.

 

Even if the spotlight has shifted to a younger generation of doctors, the values and emotional resonance of Hospital Playlist remain very much alive.

 

As anticipation builds, Resident Playbook stands as one of the most awaited dramas of 2025.

 

With its mix of new faces and a beloved setting, the series promises to deliver compelling storytelling filled with laughter, tears, and the daily triumphs and trials of life inside a hospital.

 

For fans old and new, Resident Playbook may just be the next drama to watch, offering both a sense of nostalgia and a refreshing start.
