Go Yoon-jung’s Breakthrough Romance and Growth Journey in ‘Someday Will Be Wise’

tvN’s latest Saturday-Sunday drama, Someday Will Be Wise: Resident Life (*working title*, also abbreviated as Unsle-jeon), returns with a deeper look into the lives of first-year OB-GYN residents at Jongno Yulje Hospital. As the story enters its second chapter, the drama unveils teaser posters hinting at emotional growth, budding romance, and surprising guest appearances.

Fresh faces include Go Yoon-jung as Oh Yi-young, alongside fellow residents Pyo Nam-gyeong, Um Jae-il, and Kim Sa-bi. Each represents a different dream but shares the same chaotic yet endearing path of adjusting to their demanding new roles. Despite many awkward stumbles, their spirited attempts to grow in their profession evoke both laughter and empathy from viewers.

What stands out is the rapid evolution of these rookies—from being overwhelmed beginners to competent young doctors. Their emotional maturity, ability to resolve conflicts, and skills handling patient care are reaching new peaks, signaling a dramatic shift in dynamics for future episodes.

Adding another layer of interest, the drama introduces a slow-burn romance between Oh Yi-young and senior resident Goo Do-won. Despite an earlier rejection, Yi-young boldly confesses her feelings in an elevator scene that’s since captivated audiences, asking only for one answer: “Can I like you?” With her openness melting Do-won’s guarded heart, fans are curious whether one-sided emotions will evolve into mutual affection.

Viewers are also buzzing about the appearance of beloved characters from the original Hospital Playlist series. The arrival of familiar faces like Choo Min-ha, Kim Jun-wan, and Ahn Jeong-won continues to expand the Yulje Hospital Universe, tying nostalgic charm to a new generation of medical residents.

Complete with coming-of-age struggles, fluttering romances, and cameo-laced intrigue, tvN’s Someday Will Be Wise: Resident Life airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM KST, promising heartfelt stories and a dynamic ensemble cast.
