Go Youn JungShin Shi AhKang Yoo SeokHan Ye Ji, and Jung Joon Won's days at Yulje Hospital are filled with unpredictability in Resident Playbook.

Hospital Playlist spinoff, Resident Playbook, is a drama about doctors working at Yulje Hospital, depicting the growth of residents who dream of becoming wise doctors as they navigate their struggles. 

The teaser grabs attention right from the start with a resident shouting "It's here! Finally!" and the scene transitions into the hectic hospital lives of the first-year OB/GYN residents at Yulje Hospital. Always cheerful, no matter the place, these young professionals shine the brightest when it's time to clock out.

However, the phrase they find themselves saying most often at the hospital is simply, "I'm sorry." Cowering under the stern voices of their professors calling their names, they struggle to hold back tears, vividly reminding viewers of their own early days as rookies, when everything felt overwhelming.

At the same time, the OB/GYN professors and senior doctors, despite their strict scoldings, deeply care for the residents. Despite their sharp warnings like, "Hey, first-year, keep your head on straight," they boost their juniors' spirit by saying, "I hope we're in this for the long haul."

These words of encouragement serve as a pillar of strength for the residents, reassuring them as they navigate their tough journey and dream of becoming wise doctors.

Will these young residents endure their grueling training and grow into skilled doctors and confident adults?

Resident Playbook is set to premiere on April 12. The K-drama will be available to stream on Netflix. Watch the teaser here
