ONE OF MY FAVOURITE DRAMAS OF 2025 WITHOUT A DOUBT
Well, I’m not really sure where to start talking about this amazing drama, but I’d like to begin by saying that this series has been super special to me — not just because it’s about one of my favorite genres, medical dramas, but also because it’s part of the Hospital Playlist universe.
I felt like I had to write something about this drama because Hospital Playlist is my all-time favorite, and I also wrote a review for it back when I watched it.
To get straight to the point and leaving comparisons aside, Resident Playbook isn’t a drama for everyone. It has a slow, more relaxed pace, it’s not like other medical dramas that are packed with action or suspense. This one really focuses on telling the story of a group of first-year residents in depth, showing how their friendships grow and how they develop as professionals. It also gives a lot of importance to the stories of the patients, which adds a touching layer to everything.
The characters in this drama are super charismatic. Each of them has a unique personality, and honestly, it’s impossible not to grow fond of them and even the supporting characters are lovable.
The OST is also amazing and brings back Mido and Falasol, which makes it feel even more special.
I’d also like to say that, if we compare it to Hospital Playlist, I think this series really holds up. It gives off the same vibes, makes you care about the characters in a similar way, but still manages to have its own identity. While Hospital Playlist feels a bit more mature and less youthful, Resident Playbook is the total opposite. It focuses on young people just starting their professional journey — they’re going to mess up, learn, and build strong bonds along the way. And that’s what makes this drama special: watching everything take shape from the very beginning and seeing how they add humor to everyday situations to make life at the hospital a bit easier.
To wrap it up, I’d say that if there’s one word that describes both this drama and Hospital Playlist, it’s HOME. Every episode makes you feel like you’re part of the group, part of the story. And even though it might not be for everyone, I truly think it’s worth giving it a shot.
If you’ve read all the way to the end — thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the drama if you decide to give it a chance.
