"Resident Playbook" is a spin-off drama of "Hospital Playlist" about residents who dream of a doctor's life growing up through a period of denial.

In the drama, Lee Bong-ryeon decomposed as Seo Jung-min, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Jongno Yulje Hospital, expressing a role model residents want to resemble the most but don't want to encounter.

"Everyone is disappointed that the drama ended so soon compared to the long time it took to make", she said.

Lee Bong-ryeon, who joined the drama through an audition, recalled the happy moment when she passed.

"I was a huge fan of the series. If you are an actor, you must want to join the worldview. I was so excited that I couldn't dare read the script right away", she recalled.

Even for her, auditioning must have been quite burdensome in her 20th year. "At some point, I feel like I don't want to go (to audition). Nevertheless, we should continue to be evaluated through an audition. An actor is a profession that is chosen", she said.

"Didn't Yoon Yeo-jeong say she had an audition? I don't think any actor can be free from auditioning. It would have been a shame if I didn't make it but I finally passed the audition. It felt better and more thrilling than ever", she added.

"Resident Playbook" ended with the 12th episode on the 18th.
