Resident Playbook: The New K-Drama Spin-Off Filipina Fans Are Talking About

 

Resident Playbook๐Ÿฉบ 

– The K-Drama Everyone’s Watching (Even If They’re Complaining)



Is it realistic? Not really.
Is it emotional? Definitely.
Are we watching anyway? ABSOLUTELY.

tvN’s new medical K-drama Resident Playbook (aka Unsljeon) has quickly become one of the most talked-about shows in Korea—and it’s trending in the Philippines too. Whether you’re here for the new faces or the OG Hospital Playlist cameos, there’s no denying: this show is on fire.



Viewership Is Rising… But So Is the Drama

  • ๐Ÿ”น Premiered April 12, 2025

  • ๐Ÿ”น Started at 3.7% → Now at 5.1% (Nielsen Korea)

  • ๐Ÿ”น Outperforming past shows like The Potato Research Institute

BUT… viewers aren’t just talking about ratings.

They’re also saying:

"Wait… do doctors really do that?"
"Why is a first-year resident writing love notes to a patient?"

So What’s the Issue?

In Episode 3, resident Oh I-young (played by Go Youn-jung) delays a surgery to emotionally support a patient.
She also buys them supplies, puts socks on them, and even leaves sweet handwritten notes.

Sounds cute, right?
Well… not everyone agrees.

Some Korean viewers called it “medical fantasy,” saying:

“No real hospital is like this.”
“That’s not what doctors do.”



The Creator Responds: “It’s Fiction, Girls!”

Director Shin Won-ho (the mastermind behind Hospital Playlist) explained:

“We made a fictional story with realistic emotions. K-dramas are supposed to show hope.”

So yes—while it might not reflect real-life hospitals, it reflects something we ALL love:
✨ comfort, kindness, and slow emotional healing.



What’s Really Saving the Show? The OG Cast.

Let’s be honest—half the reason we’re watching is for our favorite 99z crew.

  • ๐Ÿ’˜ Jung Kyung-ho

  • ๐Ÿ’ซ Ahn Eun-jin

  • ๐Ÿฉบ More Hospital Playlist stars are confirmed to cameo!

That’s why fans are saying:

“I’m watching this for Jo Jung-suk and the OG squad.”
“Not sure about the new cast yet, but I’m not missing these cameos!”

Is It Good? Or Just Nostalgic?

Yes, Resident Playbook still lives in the shadow of Hospital Playlist.
The new cast hasn’t fully captured viewers’ hearts yet—but there’s still time.

If you loved the warmth and friendship in Hospital Playlist, and you’re okay with a bit of dreamy fiction in your med drama… this one might still win you over.


Should You Watch It?

✅ If you love slow-burn friendships
✅ If you’re a loyal fan of Hospital Playlist
✅ If you’re here for Go Youn-jung and Jung Kyung-ho’s cameos
✅ If you love medical dramas with feelings more than facts



๐Ÿ“บ Streaming on:

tvN (Korea) | Available via international K-drama platforms & fan communities
๐Ÿ—“ Every Saturday & Sunday at 9:20 PM KST


It might not be the most realistic K-drama—but sometimes, we watch with our hearts, not our heads.

So grab a cozy blanket, rewatch the 99z scenes, and give Resident Playbook a shot. You just might fall for it ๐Ÿ’—
