Go Youn-jung became the protector of Jung Jun-won.
In the sixth episode of the tvN weekend drama 'Resident Playbook' (Creators Shin Won-ho, Lee Woo-jung / Director Lee Min-soo / Screenwriter Kim Song-hee / Planned by CJ ENM Studios / Produced by Egg Is Coming), which aired yesterday (27th), Oh Yi-young (played by Go Youn-jung), Byun Nam-kyung (played by Shin Si A), Eom Jae-il (played by Kang Yoo-seok), and Kim Sa-bi (played by Han Yae-ji) successfully resolved conflicts and overcame weaknesses, marking another upgrade.
As a result, the sixth episode recorded a viewership rating of 5.9% on average and a peak of 7% based on metropolitan households, and an average of 5.5% and a peak of 6.3% based on nationwide households, taking first place in its time slot among cable and comprehensive channels. In the target demographic of 2049 male and female viewers, it also achieved an average of 2.7% and a peak of 3.3% in the metropolitan area, and an average of 2.9% and a peak of 3.3% nationwide, ranking first in its time slot among cable and comprehensive channels (based on paid platforms including cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea).
Earlier, after receiving a stern warning from senior resident Gu Do-won (played by Jung Jun-won), Eom Jae-il observed all ultrasound examinations voluntarily to build confidence in himself. He worried everyone by not being able to wash or sleep properly for three days, but his act of immediately running when a phone call came from the ultrasound room showed a different enthusiasm.
Eom Jae-il, who was devoted to the ultrasound examination even taking on voluntary night shifts, managed to catch an emergency signal that is hard to detect from a pregnant woman who was worried about her first pregnancy. Unlike in the past when he would always ask seniors to confirm his diagnosis, his confident call for Professor Seo Jeong-min (played by Lee Bong-ryeon) surprised everyone.
As a result, Eom Jae-il could not take his eyes off the baby he cut the umbilical cord for, nicknamed 'Eom Jae-il baby,' staying in front of the newborn room. The baby was the smallest and lightest among those in the newborn room, but Eom Jae-il's gaze was filled with affection. In particular, the warm encouragement from thoracic surgery resident Jang Hong-do (played by Bae Hyun-seung), who said, "What does it matter to be in last place now? You just have to come out first," reminded Eom Jae-il of his past as a perennial last place and brought a feeling of warmth.
While Eom Jae-il was achieving what he aimed for, Byun Nam-kyung and Kim Sa-bi, who have opposing personalities, were busy bickering over everything. Byun Nam-kyung found it frustrating that Kim Sa-bi was so meticulous about every minute and second, while Kim Sa-bi didn't understand Byun Nam-kyung's emotionally driven actions.
The two, who crossed paths by chance in front of a convenience store, touched upon the events that had transpired and conveyed their apologies and gratitude. Just as they were about to wrap up the conversation warmly with honest emotional expressions, Kim Sa-bi's expression hardened rapidly at Byun Nam-kyung's remark that he was "inflexible," leading to yet another round of bickering, showcasing the tumultuous relationship between the colleagues.
Meanwhile, Oh Yi-young felt the atmosphere turn awkward after her straightforward confession to senior resident Gu Do-won. During this time, during their joint research, fellow Myung Eun-won (played by Kim Hye-in), who had been transferring all the work to Gu Do-won, took credit for all the contributions single-handedly, resulting in Gu Do-won losing the paper he painstakingly wrote. To make matters worse, Myung Eun-won attempted to downplay the incident with the excuse of "a mistake," inciting anger.
Oh Yi-young, who was listening to the conversation, confronted Myung Eun-won directly to get an apology for the frustrated Gu Do-won, even though she was angry but couldn't say anything. She made Gu Do-won smile with a refreshing statement that relieved the tension. Looking at Oh Yi-young, who boldly stepped up for him, Gu Do-won's gaze was filled with a different air, raising curiosity about whether Oh Yi-young's one-sided approach could lead to a mutual exchange with Gu Do-won, making audiences eager for the next chapter of 'Resident Playbook.'
'Resident Playbook,' a tvN weekend drama that blends romance, humanity, and growth, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
