Hospital Playlist Spin-off Postponed Again, Unlikely to Air This Year

On May 16, CJ ENM informed Sports World through a statement that the broadcast schedule for tvN’s “Resident Playbook”has not been finalized yet. This suggests that there is a possibility of the show being delayed until the following year.

“At first, tvN announced that “Resident Playbook”would be part of their lineup for the first half of the year, causing much excitement among viewers as it was a spin-off of the beloved series “Hospital Playlist”starring Jo Jung-suk. The show is set in the same universe and follows the journey of a first-year resident in gynecology, portrayed by Go Yoon-jung.”

The drama, which was expected to be a hit following the success of “Queen of Tears,”faced setbacks due to the medical community’s strike in March. The strike was a response to the government’s decision to increase medical school admissions, causing a negative perception of residents among the public.

Despite the main character being a resident doctor, there were concerns about potential broadcasting difficulties for “Resident Playbook.”After the teaser trailer was released, viewers expressed skepticism and questioned whether the drama would address the ongoing strike.

Despite wrapping up filming, the drama’s airing has been delayed until the second half of the year. In fact, tvN has already included “Resident Playbook”in their line-up for K-dramas in the latter half of the year.

Despite the ongoing strike and the uncertain future of “Resident Playbook,”tvN has begun promoting another K-drama to potentially take its place for the time being.
