Resident Playbook (Season 1)

Resident Playbook (2025) is a Korean drama series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Lee Min-soo. Set inside the OBGYN department of Yulje Medical Center, it follows a cohort of first-year residents as they collide with the gap between what medical school promised and what the wards actually deliver.

Ko Yoon-jung and Kang Yu-seok lead a group of young doctors who spent years training for exactly this — and now discover that real medicine runs on sleep debt, rapid decisions, and patients who do not fit textbook cases. The series does not romanticize the grind. Attendings played by Ra Mi-ran anchor the department's hierarchy, and the residents' personal lives keep bleeding into their shifts in ways they cannot schedule around.

What the show does well is stay grounded: no overnight prodigies, no tidy resolutions, just people learning the job in real time. If you liked Hospital Playlist, this is the next chapter of that world. Stream Resident Playbook online on iFILM.
