<![CDATA[Literary works are not only expressed in written form but also in audiovisual media such as films and television dramas, one of the most popular manifestations of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) being K-drama. This study aims to analyze the character development of Oh Yi Young in the drama Resident Playbook using a literary psychology approach by applying Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory on the dynamics of the id, ego, and superego.
