As soon as they start dating, Shi Jin is called in emergency operations and due to confidential matters, he doesn't share it with Mo Yeon.

They proved to be ideal doctors and ideal soldiers, who would sacrifice themselves for the sake of the people around the world but would not get distracted to their personal lives.
There were several other characters in the drama, who played very important roles like the team of doctors and nurses (colleagues of Mo Yeon), colleagues and juniors of Shi Jin, senior of Shi Jin and so on. The number of characters added life and brightness to the drama. All had their significant roles to play which made the drama quite humorous, engaging and interesting.
