Synopsis
Park Ji Sang is a hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeon at the best cancer hospital in the country, and a vampire. He carries VBT-01, the virus his parents were infected with before him, and he holds his thirst down with medication so that he can go on operating on the terminally ill. He believes in the sanctity of human life with a conviction that costs him something every day, and he is cold with everyone because it is easier.
Yoo Ri Ta entered medical school at seventeen and is the niece of the chairman whose group owns the hospital. She is as good as she thinks she is and says so, and Ji Sang falls for her without meaning to — not knowing, at first, that she is the girl he pulled out of a wolf pack on Jeju years ago. Above them both is Lee Jae Wook, the hospital director everyone trusts: gentle, patient, infected by choice, and the man who had Ji Sang's parents killed.
It rated modestly at home and travelled a long way — top of Viki, DramaFever and MyAsianTV while it aired, the number one topic on Weibo, and broadcast in ten countries.
