After a long period of conflict, Gu Do-won became aware of his feelings for Oh Yi-young and proposed a dinner to formally confess his feelings. Upon realizing it was a dinner with someone she liked, Oh Yi-young was filled with anticipation, while Gu Do-won completed his preparations, including making restaurant and flower bouquet reservations and writing a confession letter.
Finally, the day that the two had been eagerly waiting for approached, but unexpected misfortunes for Gu Do-won cast a shadow over their dinner date. A delivery driver had an accident, damaging the bouquet, and due to a mix-up with the date, they also had to cancel their restaurant reservation.
At the same time, Oh Yi-young was struggling with her ambitions as a star PD, encountering Jang Young-seok (Na Young-seok) and Shin Won-ho (Shin Won-ho) during her visit to Jongno Yuljae Hospital to shoot a new program. Seeing her frustrations with Myung Eun-won (Kim Hye-in), who was taking advantage of her both on and off camera, Oh Yi-young sighed at Gu Do-won's remark that they might have to cancel their appointment.
While returning home after a day filled with troubles, Oh Yi-young came across Gu Do-won at a playground and expressed her disappointment about the canceled appointment. Noticing Oh Yi-young's drooping shoulders, Gu Do-won abandoned his planned event and confessed, "I like you, Oh Yi-young." This led Oh Yi-young to respond, "I've confessed a lot, so you know, right?" as she expressed her feelings through a hug and a kiss. At that moment, the two, feeling an instant connection, approached each other without hesitation, creating a fluttering moment for onlookers.
Meanwhile, a surprising connection emerged between first-year resident Eom Jae-il (Kang Yu-seok) and Kim Sa-bi (Han Ye-ji), providing a twist. While busy being pushed around by their seniors and juniors, the colleagues who were relieving stress at a karaoke room were thrilled when Eom Jae-il, a former idol, performed his hit song.
In particular, Kim Sa-bi showcased her own general public cosplay in rhythm with Eom Jae-il's song, fully releasing her hidden fandom and capturing attention. The romantic joint stage between the disbanded idol and his supportive fan left Oh Yi-young and Pyo Nam-gyeong (Shin Si A) speechless, and both Eom Jae-il and Kim Sa-bi, who had an unexpected one-on-one fan meeting, wore small smiles that heightened their joy.
"Resident Playbook" residents are developing an inseparable bond as they navigate various emotions that cross between love, friendship, and fandom. Therefore, the changes in the residents' relationships, reflecting the joys and sorrows of life, are eagerly anticipated.
Episode 10 will air today (the 11th) at 9:20 p.m.
