Although Seongun made her forgo her dream of becoming a doctor, she still loved him. As time went by, she found herself gradually becoming a woman befitting a member of Seongun's family.

Surprisingly, he is the most caring brother and uncle to his older sister and his niece, and he's as generous as a saint to his patients. His late father was in the forefront of overseas medical services. Back then, he resented his father for being neglectful of his family while he was busy taking care of his patients. But when he followed his father's footsteps and served in Africa, he finally came to understand his father. But as a side effect, he decided not to marry. Dating is fine, but forget marriage.

Controversy

The "Hope Solidarity Union" (희망연대노조) recently expressed concern about the well-being of the drama's working staff. According to the union, the production staff members were exposed to a harsh working environment: they were overworked but their salary was too low. The HSU is currently mediating a dialogue between the staff, KBS, and GnG Production.
