Synopsis:

Jejoongwon is the first medical school that taught Western medicine in Korea and was established in 1885. This era captures not only the meeting of the traditional and modern in a medical sense, but also in a greater cultural sense — you can see it in the wardrobe, for one. Assistant director Kim Hyo-won explained the drama’s background as displaying the large social and political changes of the time, as well as wartime and chaos. With this large-scale unrest in the backdrop, the lead characters study to become doctors of Western medicine. Nobleman Yeon Jung-hoon (East of Eden) leaves behind his aristocratic life to attend medical school, while Han Hye-jin (Terroir) is an interpreter who wants to be a doctor. Baek Jung-in and Park Yong-woo are also aspiring doctors. (Source: Dramabeans)
