The daily life of residents Go Yoon-jung, Cynthia, Kang Yoo-seok, Han Ye-ji, and Jung Joon-won at Jongno Yulje Hospital's Obstetrics and Gynecology department has been captured.
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) has released a poster that piques curiosity about the chaotic lives of the obstetrics and gynecology residents at Jongno Yulje Hospital.
The released poster features first-year residents Oh Yi-young (played by Go Yoon-jung), Pyo Nam-kyung (played by Cynthia), Eom Jae-il (played by Kang Yoo-seok), and Kim Sa-bi (played by Han Ye-ji) enjoying a brief moment of rest after a hectic day. Their messy hair and vacant expressions suggest that their day has been anything but ordinary.
In particular, Oh Yi-young's expression, as she prepares to leave work early like an ordinary office worker eagerly waiting for the end of the day, catches the eye. With the question, “Can I really be... wise?” it raises anticipation for the day when the inexperienced rookie Oh Yi-young will finally adapt to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Meanwhile, Pyo Nam-kyung, who cannot give up on her makeup even if she has to sacrifice sleep, is seen fixing her makeup with the adorable concern, “Oh dear... I'm not really into office romances.” Attention is drawn to the daily life of Jongno Yulje Hospital's next-generation fashionista, Pyo Nam-kyung, who is struggling to balance work and style.
On the other hand, Eom Jae-il, the first resident from Jongno Yulje Hospital with an idol background, is seen anxiously holding his phone and saying, “Professor! I’m sorry for calling you for the fifteenth time already,” which captures attention. Curiosity grows about what could possibly require Eom Jae-il to call a professor fifteen times.
In contrast, Kim Sa-bi, known for her love of specialized textbooks, is seen holding a book even during her break. However, since social skills are not included in her textbooks, her sharp remark, “Professor... I’m not wrong on the medical facts, am I?” hints at the challenges she faces in her social life.
Completely exhausted from an unpredictable day, first-year residents are surprised by a visit from fourth-year resident Gu Do-won (played by Jung Joon-won), who brings coffee, adding warmth to the scene. Despite his relaxed smile, Gu Do-won’s inner thoughts are filled with anxiety, wishing, “Please let today be uneventful,” due to the unpredictable nature of his juniors.
As a result, the chaotic daily lives of first-year residents meeting their first workplace colleagues and their senior residents are highly anticipated. Attention is focused on what experiences they will go through and how they will grow as they share the same feelings as colleagues who joined on the same day.
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 from March last year.” Although the government promised various special measures, it indicates that 11,859 individuals did not return to the training field.
In particular, according to data submitted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to the Health and Welfare Committee of the National Assembly, the number of applicants for the first half of the training residency recruitment for residents wishing to return was at a catastrophic level. It was revealed that only one applicant applied for the notoriously avoided obstetrics and gynecology department.
As the collective resignation of residents in protest against the government's expansion of medical school quotas has prolonged, attention is drawn to whether ‘Someday, a Wise Resident Life’ will resonate with viewers.
The new tvN weekend drama ‘Someday, a Wise Resident Life’ will premiere on Saturday, April 12, at 9:10 PM.
