More on Resident Playbook

Resident Playbook is a spin-off of the hit medical drama Hospital Playlist, and its release got delayed by almost a year because of the real-life controversies that were going on regarding medical strikes and their impact on the lives of common people.

As reported by the Korea Times, creator Shin Won-ho said at a press conference

“This is the first time I stand in front of media not as a director. Many fans have eagerly anticipated the expansion of our universe.”

He also addressed the issue of the show’s release being delayed and mentioned,

“This situation arose around the middle of filming. Not knowing when it would end, what we worried about was that the beautiful stories of young people might be misinterpreted due to other external factors. We discussed this concern with the broadcasting company and decided to postpone the schedule.”

He then added,

“Honestly, I believe that creating the work is our responsibility, but whether viewers criticize or embrace it is entirely up to them — we can only wait for their judgment. We worked so hard and made it beautifully, so if people don’t get to see it, it would break my heart. Please show it lots of love.”

Resident Playbook episodes 1-6 are already out for streaming, and the rest will be coming out weekly.
