Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of Hospital Playlist, I am thrilled about the news of a spin-off series. The original show was a masterpiece that captured the hearts of viewers with its heartwarming stories, relatable characters, and beautiful music. I am excited to see how the spin-off will expand the Hospital Playlist universe and introduce us to new characters and their journeys. The casting of Go Yoon-jung as the lead is particularly exciting, as she is a talented actress who has already proven her versatility in various roles.
However, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed that the original cast will not be returning for the spin-off. The chemistry between the five friends was one of the highlights of Hospital Playlist, and it will be hard to imagine the show without them. Nevertheless, I trust in the creative team behind the spin-off to deliver a compelling and enjoyable story that will live up to the high standards set by Hospital Playlist. I am eagerly looking forward to the premiere of Wise Resident Life in 2024 and can't wait to see what it has in store for us.
