Meet the Main Characters
Oh Yi-young (Go Yoon-jung) – The Struggling OB-GYN Resident
Oh Yi-young is assigned to the obstetrics and gynecology department, where she faces endless shifts and overwhelming responsibilities. Her tired expression and the way she longs for the end of her shift make her instantly relatable to viewers who understand the stress of a demanding job.
Pyo Nam-kyung (Cynthia) – The Fashionista with a Romantic Dilemma
Pyo Nam-kyung brings humor and lightness to the show. Despite her hectic schedule, she finds time to maintain her appearance and struggles with workplace romance, saying, “I’m not good at office romances.” Her character is expected to bring a fun, romantic subplot to the story.
Eom Jae-il (Kang Yoo-seok) – The Idol-Turned-Resident
Eom Jae-il is an unusual addition to the hospital, as he used to be an idol before becoming a doctor. His constant apologies to his professor, “I’m sorry for calling you for the fifteenth time already,” hint at his nervousness and inexperience.
Kim Sa-bi (Han Ye-ji) – The Socially Awkward Bookworm
Kim Sa-bi is always buried in medical books, but her direct speech and lack of social skills often put her in awkward situations. Her character brings another layer of humor and realism to the drama.
Gu Do-won (Jung Joon-won) – The Veteran Senior
As a fourth-year resident, Gu Do-won tries to help his struggling juniors. However, his plea, “Please, I hope nothing happens today…” suggests that even experienced residents are constantly on edge.
The Theme: Balancing Survival and Wisdom
Medical residency is a brutal experience, and the drama captures the reality of long shifts, difficult decisions, and emotional breakdowns. The characters are more concerned with surviving their shifts than achieving wisdom, making the show both relatable and engaging.
Romance in the Hospital
Pyo Nam-kyung’s romantic struggles add an interesting subplot. The mix of professional and personal relationships in a high-stress environment could lead to dramatic and heartwarming moments.
Humor and Relatability in the Story
The drama blends comedy with realism, portraying funny yet stressful situations in the hospital. From first-years panicking over minor mistakes to seniors trying (and failing) to maintain order, the show captures the ups and downs of residency.
Comparison to Other Medical Dramas
Fans of Hospital Playlist will likely find Someday, I Will Be a Wise Resident appealing. However, this show focuses more on survival rather than deep friendships, giving it a unique edge.
Why Viewers Should Watch It

Final Thoughts
As the premiere date approaches, anticipation continues to build. The show promises a mix of humor, drama, and realistic medical struggles that will keep audiences engaged. I am looking forward to watch Someday, I Will Be a Wise Resident.
