The tvN 2025 Drama Lineup is finally here, and it’s packed with exciting new projects. After a stellar year in 2024, with hits like The Queen of Tears and Lovely Runner (Seonjae), the network is back with a fresh slate of shows. This year’s lineup features a mix of romance, comedy, fantasy, and drama, with something for everyone.
One of the most anticipated titles is Wise Resident Life, a spinoff of the hugely popular Hospital Playlist series. Initially delayed due to a real-life medical strike, the show is now set to premiere in April, making fans eager to tune in.
A Fresh Chapter with Wise Resident Life
Wise Resident Life takes viewers to the OBGYN department of Jongno Yulje Hospital, offering a closer look at the lives of young medical residents. The drama follows their struggles, friendships, and personal growth, blending humor and heartwarming moments.
The show’s cast includes rising stars like Go Youn-jung, Shin Si-a, and Kang Yoo-seok. It is directed by Lee Min-soo, with a script written by Kim Song-hee. Original creators Shin Won-ho and Lee Woo-Jung are also part of the production team. This ensures it retains the charm and emotional depth that made Hospital Playlist so loved. Fans of medical dramas and heartfelt storytelling are likely to find Wise Resident Life a standout.
