Where to watch

The story follows a romance that develops between a surgeon and a special forces officer.

Kang Mo Yeon is a confident and principled cardiothoracic surgeon at Haesung Hospital. She believes in honesty, accountability, and that skill should matter more than background or connections. However, she soon comes to realize that ability alone is not always enough to succeed, forcing her to confront uncomfortable realities about her career and life.

Her world changes when she meets Yoo Si Jin, the captain and team leader of Alpha Team. He is a dedicated special forces officer who prioritizes protecting people in danger and serving his country, even when it means going against orders from his superiors.

Set against the backdrop of war and disaster, the series follows Kang Mo Yeon and Yoo Si Jin as they grow closer, face moral dilemmas, and fight to protect both their love and their principles while overcoming the odds stacked against them.
