Synopsis
Together with 3 other houseman, Bong Dal Hee started her first year residency doctor in Seoul. Her passion for her patients were clearly reflected, even though she accidentally caused the death of one of her patients. 2 of the top surgeons in the hospital Dr. Lee Geon Wook and Dr Ahn Jong Geun slowly got attracted to her because of her passion, but it was Dr Lee, a divorcee, whom Dal Hee initially loves. However Dr Lee could not get over the relationship with his previous wife Dr Jo Moon Kyung, and their 6-year-old son (although he found that the son was fathered by someone else), so Dal Hee let him go. Slowly, Dr Ahn, her mentor in the hospital, and Dal Hee grew fond of each other after both of them gave each other support to overcome their crises in their lives and in their careers.

There are many short stories in this drama, such as the politics among its management, the childhood of Dr Ahn and Dr Lee, the near-infection of Dr Ahn, the death of a little boy, the attack on Bang Dal Hee, the little stories of the other resident doctors, and the grand finale of the near-death of Dal Hee.

Dal Hee has a congenital heart disease and she had 2 implant operations before she joined as a resident. Her condition worsened after she unknowingly caught an infection during an attack on her by a prisoner. She did not tell Dr Ahn, even though he is a cardiac specialist and he repeatedly ask her to go for ultrascan. Dr Ahn was shocked by her condition after she fainted on the job. He operated on her, supported and encouraged her to become a doctor again.

My Take
This drama is very much like Grey's Anatomy. It's fast moving, realistic and touching. After I did some research on the net, I found out that this drama had one of the highest budget of all Korean dramas because it showcases real equipment and instruments. This is also a drama which korean doctors like to watch and recommend. I am touched by the doctors' dedication and passion, and their love lifes. Initially I was very put off by Dr Ahn, because he was arrogant, self-opinionated and loud. But as the drama moves on, I find that he and Dal Hee were the most dedicated doctors. I must admit that like a lot of fans, I'm being charmed by Dr Ahn. Aired during the same period with Dal Ja's Spring and Goong S, it achieved the highest viewership. It's currently on my number one list of drama which I'll like to watch again.
