Sooregi, the medical student behind the hit webtoon series, takes on what she calls the biggest quest of her life — pregnancy and childbirth — after returning to medical school. The series follows her days at a postpartum care center and the sleepless stretch of caring for a newborn, laying out the daily reality of living as both a medical student and a mother. It also draws on her own perspective to describe the social realities facing mothers who try to keep working while raising children.
The artist began drawing webtoons while in college, posting comics about her everyday life with mathematics on social media. Her "Trash Med Student" and "Recycled Med Student" series have drawn a combined 48 million views. The work is a life webtoon in which the artist grows alongside her readers, from medical student to mother.
