Jin Hyuk (Song Seung-heon) is a gifted neurosurgeon who was born into a family of doctors. His success rate in surgery hovers at 100%, with his ability to quickly analyze any situation, and his extremely steady hands. Due to his personal pursuit of perfection, he has a cold attitude and lacks compassion. He plans to give his girlfriend Yoo Mi-na (Park Min-young), also a doctor, a ring as a gift from their mother. But after an argument, Mi-na gets into a car accident and goes into a coma. After surgically removing a foetus-shaped tumor from a patient's brain, a mysterious power causes Jin Hyuk to travel 150 years back in time to the year 1860 during the Joseon period, when medical technology was still in its infant stages. He begins treating people of the era, but the lack of necessary implements and rudimentary medical knowledge of the period forces him to develop medical devices and medicine by himself, and seek new ways to aid the sick. He meets young noblewoman Young-rae (who looks like Mi-na), who is betrothed to her childhood friend Kim Kyung-tak (Kim Jae-joong), but is not in love with him. Through this challenging process, and with the help of Young-rae and Lee Ha-eung (Lee Beom-soo), Jin Hyuk becomes a true doctor. But his actions start interfering with history, and Jin Hyuk is faced with hard choices.
