Rain Denies Reports Of His Stepping Down From CEO Role + Transferring Ciipher To Another Agency

Cha Young Min (Rain) is an extremely arrogant but gifted thoracic surgeon. Although he is supremely talented in his field of medicine, he is full of himself and aloof. He cares about nothing except furthering his career, alienating everyone around him – including his ex-girlfriend, the neurosurgeon Jang Se Jin (Uee). His polar opposite is a resident surgeon named Go Seung Tak (Kim Bum) – a man who has risen to a lofty place in the medical world due only to the fact that his grandfather happens to be the founder of one of the country’s top hospitals.

But when a strange medical case takes an unexpected turn, Cha Young Min’s spirit somehow possesses Go Seung Tak’s body – suddenly gifting the latter with extraordinary medical skills. All of a sudden, Go Seung Tak finds himself the talk of the medical town. But a young emergency room intern named Oh Soo Jung (Son Naeun) thinks she can sense the fact that something is amiss. Despite her medical training, she believes in supernatural phenomena. How long will this unusual medical situation go on – and will the “real” Go Seung Tak ever return to the operating theater?
