Resident Playbook, the long-awaited spin-off of Hospital Playlist, is already melting hearts with its mix of warm nostalgia and down-to-earth storytelling. In the same universe, this show brings a new OB-GYN team into focus, providing a new energy while remaining faithful to the heart of the original.
Viewers are swooning over the raw, honest emotions stitched into every episode—from stressful delivery moments to peaceful ramen time after long hospital shifts. The series documents the daily battles, friendships, and development of medical residents in a way that is both intimate and expansive.
Though there’s no Ik-jun or Song-hwa cameo (yet), Resident Playbook doesn’t require them to sparkle. It’s just as solid without them with its sweet characters, slice-of-life goodness, and subtle humor—just like its parent show.
Prepare for emotional rollercoasters, calming soundtracks, and plenty of late-night comfort food moments. For K-Drama fans hungry for realism coated in warmth, Resident Playbook is a must-see.
