In response to the report, a tvN representative, the production house of the show, clarified that the broadcast schedule for Resident Playbook had not yet been finalized and assured that an official announcement would be made once it was confirmed. 

Initially, the show was set to premiere right after the finale of Queen of Tears, starring Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won in the lead roles. However, the doctor’s strike was faced with public backlash, and due to that, every promotional activity had to be suspended by the production team.

Moreover, the protests have also led to revisions and changes in the script. It has also been reported that the actors had to reshoot some of the scenes, and because of that, they have become extremely frustrated with the situation. However, they are constantly working hard and giving their all to complete the project.
