Why Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok haven't joined Resident Playbook cast in Bali yet? Delayed plans revealed
Resident Playbook concluded two weeks ago, after a successful run globally. It dropped its final episodes on May 17 and 18 and broadcasted a special episode on May 24. Following that, the cast was rewarded with a 7-day team retreat to spend time together, bond better. However, Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok couldn't travel with the others due to their packed schedule. According to a May 30 report by K-media Sports Chosun, they are now set out to join the team. When is the Bali retreat and what is it about? Jung Jun Won, Han Ye Ji, Shin Shi Ah and most of the other cast and crew of Resident Playbook are currently enjoying a peaceful vacation in Bali, Indonesia. They reportedly departed on May 26 KST and were set to spend 7 nights and 8 days in the picturesque location, heading back on June 2. Regarding the aim of the retreat, the production team of tvN drama stated, "It is not a reward vacation for all the cast and staff, but a trip for teamwork purposes." If the retreat is intended for team-building, it raises a valid question as to why Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok weren't initially able to participate with the rest of the cast. Why did Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok not travel with the team? The two beloved OB-GYN residents of the Hospital Playlist spin-off were unable to join the rest of the cast initially due to their individual projects. After completing their personal schedules, Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok are now set to join the team trip. On May 30, the latter's side revealed, "Actor Kang Yoo Seok recently departed for Bali." Go Yoon Jung will also reportedly board a flight to Bali through Incheon International Airport on the same day. Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok's latest projects Kang Yoo Seok, who portrays the sunshiney character, Um Jae Il, a former idol turned OB-GYN resident, had to fit in a 2-night, 3-day visit amidst filming for his upcoming drama Seocho-dong. Go Yoon Jung, who portrays Oh Yi young, a warm-hearted OB-GYN resident, had to wrap up advertisement shoots and other commitments before joining the Resident Playbook team in Bali.

Resident Playbook Success: Go Yoon Jung, Kang You Seok and more head to Bali for 7-day team retreat
As reported by News1, the Resident Playbook cast— Go Yoon Jung, Jung Joon Won, Kang You Seok, Han Ye Ji, and Shin Shi Ah—are gearing up for a 7-day, 8-night work retreat in Bali from May 26 to June 2. Call it a mix of chill and celebration, a well-deserved break to reset, vibe, and soak in the glow of the show's success. According to News1, the lead cast - Go Yoon Jung, Jung Joon Won, Kang You Seok, Han Ye Ji, and Shin Shi Ah will be heading to Bali for a special work retreat. The trip is scheduled from May 26 to June 2, spanning 7 nights and 8 days of rejuvenation and bonding. Well, the time or where they will stay is not revealed by the production team. On May 15, Newsen clarified that while the trip was initially described as a holiday, it's actually being planned as a group retreat. The production team clarified, 'Rather than a reward vacation, it's more of a team trip. Some of the cast and crew members are preparing a workshop-style getaway to celebrate the end of the series. The schedule has not been finalized, and both the location and timing are still being arranged.' They also added, 'Due to scheduling conflicts, not all cast and staff members will be able to participate.' For those unfamiliar with Resident Playbook, it's a heartwarming and often emotional medical drama set at the Jongno branch of Yulje Medical Center. The series focuses on four young doctors who choose to specialize in obstetrics and gynecology—a department often overlooked in a time when South Korea's birth rate continues to decline. But the story goes far beyond just the numbers. It beautifully explores the personal and professional struggles of these residents as they navigate the chaos of hospital life, form deep friendships, and gradually grow into the roles of compassionate and skilled doctors. The series struck a chord with audiences nationwide, with its finale achieving a remarkable 8.1% average rating and peaking at 9.2%, according to Nielsen Korea's nationwide paid household data. It also secured the top spot in its time slot across all TV channels, including terrestrial networks. Notably, Resident Playbook is a spin-off of the much-loved series Hospital Playlist, and it has certainly lived up to the legacy. In the series: Go Youn Jung played Oh In Young Shin Shi Ah portrayed Pyo Nam Gyeong Kang You Seok was Um Jae Han Ye Ji played Kim Sa Bi and Jung Joon Won took on the role of senior resident Koo Do Woon. With the show's success and their stellar performances, this retreat to Bali is not just a break—it's a celebration of their journey, both on-screen and off.

Resident Playbook: Jung Joon Won reacts to criticism over visual difference with Go Yoon Jung: 'Will viewers really...'
Resident Playbook instantly captured viewers' attention from the day it premiered. The medical drama, centered around five young first-year doctors, struck the right chord with audiences through its engaging storyline and emotional depth. However, not everything about the show was met with universal praise. One element, in particular, sparked early criticism: the on-screen chemistry between actors Jung Joon Won and Go Yoon Jung. Their romantic pairing drew backlash, with some viewers questioning the believability of the relationship. Jung Joon Won, who portrayed senior resident Gu Do Won, addressed the criticism in a recent post-finale interview. In the drama, his character shares both a workplace and home with Go Yoon Jung 's character, Oh Yi Young, creating a professional and personal dynamic. Jung Joon Won admitted that he anticipated the comments about their 'visual mismatch' before filming even began. 'I wasn't offended,' he said. 'It was something I expected.' He shared that when he first read the script, the romance was already well-developed. 'There was already a scene with us holding hands,' he recalled. 'It made me happy and nervous at the same time. I kept wondering, 'Will viewers really believe someone like Yi Young would fall for someone like Do Won?'' Despite his concerns, Jung Joon Won trusted the strength of the characters and the story. 'Gu Do Won feels like a fantasy,' he said. 'I believed if I portrayed him sincerely, viewers would understand the connection.' When it came to playing the romantic moments, he focused on emotional authenticity rather than physical appearance. 'I didn't try to come off as handsome,' he noted. 'Instead, the director, writer, and crew all worked together to make the relationship feel real.'
