They both must prove themselves to the new head of the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Choi Kang Guk.

Although he is a medical genius, he is stubborn and refuses to maintain the status quo and abide by hospital policies.

Dr. Choi is forced to accept them whilst attempting to restore the reputation of the cardiothoracic department of the hospital.[1]
