Episodes 1-2
Se-Ok does it for testing Doo-Bong’s perception to pain. So she can capture the source of the disease in the skull. She’s successful to save him. She creates a medical myth. A nurse Mi-Ran visits Se-Ok. The nurse was invited to help because there wasn’t any nurse.
But Mi-Ran is arrogant in front of Se-Ok. She threatens that she knows her past. Se-Ok asks the assistant Young-Joo about the nurse. She’s told that the nurse did many bad things and she worked in the hospital Se-Ok resigned. The nurse knows what she did very well.
Se-Ok worked in the Neurosurgery Department in a big hospital. She was a genius doctor who received worldwide attention. But her medical license revoked after she had a fight with her teacher Deok-Hee in the operating room. She worked in the underground black market since then. She used her medical talent and she engaged in illegal surgery.
The bad nurse injects drugs into the drip of Doo-Bong. She threatens Se-Ok and she asks her to pay her two million won every month. You know Se-Ok doesn’t have any license and she was involved in the most dangerous brain operation. She will be in trouble if others know it. Se-Ok promises the nurse after she thought about it. Because her safety is the first.
The next day, Doo-Bong wakes up and he’s transferred. Se-Ok gives a task to Young-Joo. She asks him to give a cooler to a doctor. There’s nobody in the temper after Young-Joo left. The storm is going to come. Se-Ok begins her plan. Her plan is to kill the nurse.
She drugged the nurse’s drinking water. The nurse passes out because of the drug effect. She wakes up and she realizes the danger. She tries to flee. But she goes to look for her money in the wallet. Se-Ok attacks the nurse from her back when she’s counting the money. She strangles her and she’s cold to kill her.
Young-Joo realizes that something isn’t right. He returns to the temple. But it’s too late. Se-Ok asks him for a shovel. She plans to bury the nurse. She doesn’t fear it at all after she killed a person. She’s calm to see the patients in the pharmacy she runs.
She returns home. Young-Joo is furious to tell her that she’s a mad woman. But she’s happy to lick the ice lolly. She mentions she saved a person and she killed a person. She thinks it’s a balance and it’s good to the Earth’s living system.
But her composure is interrupted by a phone call. The one who calls her is Deok-Hee. He asks her for a meeting up. She’s silent and her eyes are complicated. She still cannot get over the grudge of her and Deok-Hee. Deok-Hee is a top neurosurgeon. She was the student he favored ever. But they had an argument in the surgery many years ago.
He let someone drag her out of the operating room. But she was extremely upset. She walked forward and she strangled him. She was pulled away. He gave her a slap in front of the people. She was disallowed to enter the operating room from that day on. He wasn’t soft even if she got on her knees and she begged him. He exiled the student since then. She collapsed and cried when she was abandoned by her teacher. She can give up everything, including her life. But she cannot put down the table that she treats it as an obsession.
Se-Ok raises some dogs even if her inside is crazy. She’s not related to madness when she takes care of her dogs. She looks like a simple and happy girl. Deok-Hee is told that a broker arranged an illegal surgery. The police found a brain operation footage from the broker’s laptop.
Deok-Hee suspects it immediately after he watched the video. He thinks the only one who can complete the surgery is his student Se-Ok. He knows Se-Ok is a mad person. He visits her. She knows it very well that he visited her for asking her a favor. He tells her that he got a brain cancer and he needs a surgery.
The brain surgery is very hard. He needs a perfect surgery for continuing to be a doctor. It’s obvious that he wishes her to operate on him. She scoffs and she mentions they fell out early. She thinks she has no reason to operate on him. He threatens her that he will expose her that she engaged in illegal surgeries if she rejects it.
She begins to go crazy. She hisses when she reaches out her hands to him. Her teacher has broken her down one time. She asks him if he wants to push her into the darker abyss. He continues to be silent. But he has a seizure when he tries to leave. The medicine bottle for first aid drops to the ground. Se-Ok remembers her teacher’s cruelty. She’s heartless to step on the medicine bottle.
Fortunately, Young-Joo comes after he heard the sound. He pulls Se-Ok away and he calls an ambulance for Deok-Hee. Se-Ok lies in the bed in the evening. She cannot sleep. She remembers the past of her and Deok-Hee. She was a rookie doctor in the Department of Neurosurgery many years ago. Deok-Hee was an idol to her.
He knew the rookie from his colleague. She got the highest score from the entrance examination but she’s a troublemaker. The colleague Dr. Song persuaded Deok-Hee to stay away from the mad woman. But Se-Ok visited Deok-Hee after he came back. She handed over her test paper to him. She was proud to speak out her analysis to the topics. She told him that she adores him and she claimed that she read all his papers.
She couldn’t sleep and she shined a flashlight on her paper. Because he gave her a review that she’s perfect. She began to tangle him since then. She asked him to teach her what he knows. She claimed that she dreams of death when she has an operation. He found out that she’s like him. What they’re obsessed with is the human brain.
Deok-Hee cannot suppress his liking to Se-Ok even if she hates him. He knows it very well that she’s a genius like him. He doesn’t give up after he got rejected by her. He visits the doctor Hyeon-Ho. Hyeon-Ho is Se-Ok’s partner. He admires Se-Ok’s medical skills like Deok-Hee. He wishes the girl’s talent not to be covered.
Deok-Hee promises to reinstate Se-Ok’s license as long as she operates on him. But the girl doesn’t agree to it even if Hyeon-Ho persuaded her. She claims that she likes her current life. The surgeries she engaged in were the cases Yeonshin University Hospital gave up. She thinks the challenging surgeries are exciting. She burns her papers in the evening for cutting ties with her past. Young-Joo feels regret for Se-Ok. He visits the nurse Hye-Soo who helped Se-Ok operate. He’s told the stories about Se-Ok.
There was a rumor that Se-Ok will be sent to Boston to further her education. But the result was that another doctor was chosen. Se-Ok wasn’t happy. Because Deok-Hee told her that he will promote the doctor, according to her talent. But her colleague was chosen because her family is rich. She thought it’s unfair and she had a fight with Deok-Hee in his office. He slapped her. He ruled her out from all surgeries.
The punishment lasted one year. One day, Deok-Hee went on a business trip. The director allowed Se-Ok to operate on the patient. But Deok-Hee broke into the operating room after he got the message. He asked Se-Ok to stop the operating. She rejected. He asked some people to drag her out of the operating room. They broke up completely.
Deok-Hee visits his student again for saving himself. He promises to help her fight for a place in Boston Medical School. She can do any surgery she wants to do there. She refuses to lower her profile. She tells Deok-Hee that she hates him very much. She wishes him to die miserable. But he knows her very well. He promises to keep his promise. He asks her to be in charge of his surgery no matter what happens.
Young-Joo persuades Se-Ok as well. He wishes to go to the United State with her. But she goes into a huff. She points at the restaurant across the street from the drugstore. She claims that the restaurant and the drugstore belong to her. She refuses to go anywhere because her stuff is there.
The restaurant doesn’t belong to Se-Ok. But she often goes to the restaurant. The younger brother of the restaurant owner Sin-Gyu just got released from the prison. The guy has feelings for Se-Ok. He walks around her house except staring at her drugstore.
Se-Ok isn’t happy. She thinks everyone is targeting her. The guy bullies his sister for money. The crazy Se-Ok decides to kill him. She intends to flirt with Sin-Gyu at the restaurant. She leaves her umbrella at the restaurant then. He chases her out of the restaurant and he returns the umbrella to her. He asks her if she wants to date him. She pretends to promise him. But she drugs in the drink.
The next day, she gives him a ride. He’s very happy to drink the drink. She asks him to carry the heavy plastic film home. He’s satisfied when he takes a break. But he wakes up and he finds out that he’s lying on the plastic film.
Se-Ok approaches him. She takes out a knife. She kills him when she smiles evilly. She calls Young-Joo and she asks him to come home to clean up the blood. She drives to the mountain and she wears the earphones. She picks up the shovel and she plans to bury the dead body.
