“A Poem A Day’’ follows the lives of various medical professionals, including physical therapists, nurses, doctors ,and radiology technologists.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a medical drama, and we can’t wait for this one! The production team behind this upcoming drama is the same team who made “Drinking Solo’’ such a success. Plus, fans are also looking forward to the role that will be played by Defconn of “Weekly Idol” as he adds a comedic twist to the drama.
Though the drama is a medical one, the trailer says that it is also a romantic drama with a mix of comedy.

The drama is directed by Kim Kyu Tae and written by Noh Hee Kyung, the team behind the popular dramas “It’s Okay That’s Love,’’ “That Winter Wind That Blows,” and”Dear My Friends.” As such, you be assured that the story will be an interesting one!
The trailer shows a melodramatic side of the story but the action part of the drama also promises to bring us all the feels for which we’re hoping! The drama will air its first episode on March 10th on tvN.
