Cynthia dreams of becoming the best fashionista doctor at Jongno Yulje Hospital.
In the new tvN weekend drama ‘Someday, a Wise Resident Life’ (Creators Shin Won-ho, Lee Woo-jung / Directed by Lee Min-soo / Written by Kim Song-hee / Planned by CJ ENM Studios / Produced by Egg is Coming) (hereafter ‘Wise Resident’), Cynthia plays the character of Byun Nam-gyeong, an obstetrics and gynecology resident who captivates Jongno Yulje Hospital with her fresh charm.
In the drama, Byun Nam-gyeong maintains her fashion and full makeup even on her commute, strutting through the hospital lobby like a runway every morning. She dreams of becoming a doctor who flits around the hospital in a white coat and applies to the obstetrics and gynecology department at Jongno Yulje Hospital, becoming a first-year resident.
However, the life she dreamed of as a doctor is far from reality, as she finds herself glued to the desk in the office all day, engrossed in charting and busy running around the ward with a dressing kit. With the constant calls from patients and the professors' commands, Byun Nam-gyeong's daily life has turned into a struggle to hold back tears, raising curiosity about whether she can realize her dream as a doctor.
The released photos capture various aspects of Byun Nam-gyeong, the charting machine of the obstetrics and gynecology office at Jongno Yulje Hospital. Her scrubs worn under the white coat are stained with all sorts of marks, and her neatly tied hair becomes disheveled as she focuses on charting. However, as soon as it's time to leave, she transforms with glamorous styling, taking care of her own style, making her daily life as a fresh new doctor highly anticipated.
Attention is also focused on Cynthia's performance, which will depict the growth of Byun Nam-gyeong, who clearly has an on-and-off hospital life. Cynthia, who has won the love of viewers by traversing movies, entertainment, and dramas, is expected to inject vitality into the daily life of the Byun Nam-gyeong character with her bubbly energy.
Meanwhile, on the 11th, the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced through data that “the total number of candidates for appointment in March this year is 1,672, which is 12.4% of the 13,531 candidates for appointment in March last year.” Although the government promised to provide various special measures, it means that 11,859 people did not return to the training field.
In particular, according to data submitted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to the office of Kim Yoon, a member of the Health and Welfare Committee of the National Assembly, the number of applicants for the first half of the training resident recruitment for those wishing to return was at a catastrophic level. It was revealed that only one applicant applied for the obstetrics and gynecology department, a typical avoided specialty.
As the collective resignation of residents in protest against the government's expansion of medical school quotas has prolonged, the indefinitely postponed ‘Someday, a Wise Resident Life’ is drawing attention to whether it will resonate with viewers.
The spin-off drama ‘Someday, a Wise Resident Life’, which depicts the process of residents dreaming of a wise doctor life growing through a period of fandom denial, will premiere on Saturday, April 12, at 9:10 PM on tvN.
