A strong and intense beginning, then... it all went downhill.
To prevent a war between North and South Korea, a doctor was sent to North Korea to rescue a head of state, so that the United States wouldn't attack and start a war.
His son was kidnapped and forced to stay with his father in North Korea. South Korea denied them repatriation.
As time passed, the son also became a skilled surgeon.
Honestly, I don't know how he survived in this environment. He had a girlfriend who was forcibly taken by the authorities and locked up in a concentration camp. After many years of searching, he finally found her. His father allowed himself to be killed to allow his son to be free to make his own choices, and he, seizing the opportunity, fled with her to Hungary.

When he managed to return to South Korea, he was able to work in the same hospital where his father had worked to avenge him. Challenge after challenge...

There are so many things I can't explain:
- Do the female doctors work in 12-inch heels?
- Is it that easy to watch the surgeries live? It's like turning on the TV and connecting.
- Everything revolves around this fake competition to determine which of the two best doctors will perform the prime minister's heart surgery? Patients used as pawns. Terrible.
- What a shitty plan! To become president, the Prime Minister
is staging this whole charade? He's holding the doctor's mother hostage for decades just to force him to perform heart surgery on the president? Without killing him, but keeping him in a coma?
- This villain who was shot in the head by a professional killer is back? How is that possible?
- The president's behavior isn't what you'd expect.
- In the last episode, the North korean girl gets shot and falls off the bridge? I could understand they wanting to recall the previous time she'd fallen, but here she would have collapsed and not been thrown from the bridge.
-then the end... no comment.
