The series follows residents in the obstetrics and gynecology department at Jongno Yulje Medical Center. There’s reluctant returning resident Yi-young (Go), whose bluntness regularly gets her into hot water; glamorous Nam-kyung (Shin), who’s having trouble adjusting to the demands of the hospital; former K-pop idol Jae-il (Kang), who’s constantly battling to earn the respect of his colleagues; and Sa-bi (Han), an awkward academic who’s struggling to apply her studies IRL. As these four rookie doctors navigate love, friendships, and patient care, they look to senior resident Ku Do-won (Jung), an unflappable leader who’s always calm under pressure, to help them navigate their first year in professional medicine.
