Alongside this, 'Unsljeon' has consistently recorded around 100 to 200 million views per week, with total video views nearing an astonishing 740 million, proving its popularity. (As of May 13, 2025)

In this way, 'Unsljeon' is firmly holding onto viewership, popularity, and video views, establishing itself as the favorite drama among viewers. The growth journey of the residents, which is developing day by day, along with the romantic dynamics between Oh Yi-young (played by Go Yoon-jung) and Koo Do-won (played by Jung Jun-won), is eliciting enthusiastic responses.
In the meantime, photos capturing the sweet moments of the 'Ogu' (Oh Yi-young + Koo Do-won) couple have been released, drawing attention. From the heart-fluttering soy sauce crab scene to the bus stop scene where Koo Do-won's intense heartbeat towards Oh Yi-young was felt, the small moments of the Ogu couple evoke warmth.
Among these, the playground hug scene where they confirmed each other's feelings and the dining date where they enjoyed the thrill of a secret romance are generating excitement. Curiosity grows about whether the Ogu couple, who have become unreserved in expressing their affection for each other, can maintain their secret romance until the end.
With only the conclusion ahead, 'Someday, a Wise Resident Life' will air on the 17th at 9:20 PM.
