After being sent to North Korea, Park Hoon and his father were denied access to go back to South Korea. In North Korea, Park Hoon was trained to become a doctor by his father who was already a famous doctor. Park Hoon became a genius thoracic surgeon after attending medical school in North Korea. He fell deeply in love with Song Jae-hee (Jin Se-yeon) during his high school career. After Park Hoon's father died he tried to flee to South Korea with Jae-hee, but lost contact with her in the end. Jae-Hee ended up in the North Korean camps for attempting to escape as Park Hoon was able to fled to South Korea alone, while looking for Jae-hee.

In South Korea, Park Hoon begins to work as doctor in a top hospital Myungwoo University Hospital. Meanwhile, he found a girl that looks exactly like Jae-hee, Doctor Han Seung-hee, who claimed to not know Park Hoon. Later he discovers that she is the real Jae-hee.
