New Heart

Ji Sung (Save the Last Dance for Me, Swallow the Sun), Kim Min Jung (Fashion 70's), and Lee Ji Hoon (Hello! Miss) head this hit medical drama, whose ratings soared over the course of its broadcast to hit over 30% from an already solid 20% at its beginnings. With a compelling storyline and good acting, it's an electric story of romance and competition carried out amidst the demands of the operating table and saving lives.

Cardiac surgery is one of the most demanding and difficult forms of surgery, but it also pays very little, meaning that few doctors pursue this branch of medicine. So when Lee Eun Seung (Ji Sung) and Nam Hye Suk (Kim Min Jung) are the only applicants to apply for residency at Hwang Hee University Hospital after Dr. Choi Kang Gook (Jo Jae Hyun) becomes the new head of Cardiovascular Surgery, he is forced to accept them in spite of initial reluctance. Eun Seung, growing up an orphan, has always dreamed of becoming a great cardiac specialist, but as a recent graduate of a small-town med school in the southern province, his skills are basic. Hye Suk, on the other hand, graduated from Hwang Hee's elite medical school with top marks, but possesses a high-maintenance, inflexible personality. Dr. Choi, a genius with little patience for incompetence, hospital politics, or high-maintenance surgeons, likes neither of them, but is forced to accept them anyway, and soon all three are at loggerheads within the department. Gradually, however, as they work together, a mutual respect dawns, and Eun Seung, who spends his free time sewing teddy bears to improve his dexterity for surgery, begins to be attracted to stiff, beautiful surgeon Hye Suk. Things are about to get shaken up however as a new patient enters, famous actor Lee Dong Gwon(Lee Ji Hoon), who knew Hye Suk in elementary school and sets about rekindling his relationship with her.
