Choo Young-woo’s completely immersed in ‘Yang Jae-won’, who was summoned to the severe trauma team by Baek Kang-hyuk‘s choice, is also interesting. ‘Dokgo Dai’ Baek Kang-hyeok’s first disciple and slave number one ‘Yang Jae-won’ is a promising fellow in the proctology department. Having only walked the elite flower path, he grows while fighting to save seriously ill patients who are on the brink of death following Baek Kang-hyeok.

The appearance of ‘Park Kyung-won, an anesthesiology and pain medicine resident whose inner thoughts are hard to read, is also extraordinary.
