Resident Playbook Episode 10: How Teamwork Saved Lives and Hearts
On June 11, episode 10 of tvN’s popular weekend drama Resident Playbook aired, capturing viewers with a heartfelt portrayal of teamwork among its main characters. Created by the acclaimed duo Shin Won-ho and Lee Woo-jung and directed by Lee Min-soo with a script by Kim Song-hee, the episode hit an all-time high with ratings of 8.5% in the metropolitan area and a peak of 9.2% according to Nielsen Korea.
The episode focused on four characters—Oh I-Young (Go Youn-jung), Pyo Nam-kyung (Shin Si-a), Seo Jeong-min (Lee Bong-ryeon), and Gong Gi-seon (Son Ji-yoon)—who, despite constant bickering, showcased intense teamwork to overcome a critical emergency involving a postnatal patient. Their evolution from friction to harmony highlighted the drama’s core message of growth through experience.
Previously, fellow OB-GYN residents Seo Jeong-min and Gong Gi-seon were seen at odds, competing over even the smallest medical tasks, much to the dismay of their juniors, Oh I-Young and Pyo Nam-kyung. However, when a patient suffering from postpartum hemorrhage was wheeled into the ER, the group had to act fast. Despite their rivalry, the entire team aligned their efforts, saving the patient and proving that when lives are at stake, unity conquers all.
Viewers also got a glimpse into the budding romance between former idol Eom Jae-il (Kang Yoo-seok) and resident Kim Sa-bi (Han Ye-ji). In one touching scene, Eom comforts a downcast Kim following criticism from Professor Jo Jun-mo (Lee Hyun-kyun), even sharing a quiet meal with her in the outpatient ward.
The romantic subplots thickened when ‘Ik-song’ couple Lee Ik-jun (Jo Jung-suk) and Chae Song-hwa (Jeon Mi-do) made a surprise appearance from Yulje Hospital’s head branch. Meanwhile, the ‘O-gu’ pair, Oh I-Young and Gu Do-won, tried to keep their relationship under wraps, but a chance encounter with Eom Jae-il might expose their secret.
With strong storytelling and a masterful blend of drama and heart, Resident Playbook continues to dominate its time slot and captivate audiences. Don’t miss the next episode airing on June 17 at 9:20 PM KST.
