The protagonist Choe Gang-guk (played by leading actor Cho Jae-hyun), a
newly appointed head of the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular
Surgery at Gwanghui University Hospital, believes that only doctors can save
peoples` lives. He is a genius but a stubborn surgeon who does not care for
hospital politics.
Gang-guk`s pride is hurt as only two interns, apply to work in his
department. Neither satisfy his standards. Lee Eun-seong (played by Ji
Sung) is a below average intern from a lesser known university in the
countryside, whereas Nam Hye-seok (Kim Min-jeong) is a top student, but
her being female apparently is a problem. After many complications, they
are finally accepted to the department, but the warm-hearted Eun-seong and
over conscientious Hye-seok clash over everything.
One day, a famous actor Lee Dong-gwon (played by singer and actor Lee
Jee-hoon) is admitted into the Hospital for arrhythmia surgery. He
immediately falls for Hye-seok, his classmate from elementary school.
Chest surgery is the most demanding field in medicine.
Chest surgery is the most difficult and dangerous type of surgery to perform but it is regrettably shunned by the medical community.
Chest surgeons are bombarded daily with emergency calls to operate on patients. Not only are chest surgeons at a higher risk of losing a patient on the operating table but the life-saving open heart surgery they perform for hours with a team of doctors costs the same as a simple 30-minute eye-slit operation performed by a single plastic surgeon.
Since it is nearly impossible for a chest surgeon to open his own private practice, less and less medical students are applying to become chest surgeons, causing the shutdown of entire chest surgery departments at general hospitals. Even general hospitals that are affiliated with prestigious medical schools suffer shortages of new chest surgeons. Chest surgery has become a field that is avoided by young doctors looking for a less stressful career.
Because of this deteriorating situation, patients might have to go abroad in the near future if they need heart or lung surgery. But even in these difficult situations, a few young doctors are blazing new trails. Oblivious to the falling status of their profession and worsening circumstances, they swear by the Oath of Hippocrates and save precious lives. is a medical drama that will depict the lives of chest surgeons as close to reality as possible.
Their tears... Their joy... Their troubles... All of this and more will be intertwined in an engaging, heartwarming story. The courage they display will make you realize how precious a life is...
We would like to thank them for showing us that we are not alone in this world. They are the one who make a difference in our lives.
