This delightful medical comedy depicts the struggles of a woman who transitions from 20 years as a housewife to becoming a medical intern. Uhm Jung-hwa plays Cha Jeong-sook, a woman who has dedicated her life to her family. Despite holding a medical license, she spends her days devoted to her husband, two children, and mother-in-law.
One day, Jeong-sook falls seriously ill and lies on the brink of death. Disappointed by the cold attitude of her husband (Kim Byung-chul) and her family, she decides to return to life as a doctor. After a nearly 20-year hiatus, she begins working as a resident at the same hospital as her son, where she encounters conflicts with family and young people, as well as the struggles of being a doctor.
Uhm Jung-hwa captivatingly portrays Jeong-sook, who blazes a trail with her natural vitality and cheerfulness, defying adversity and forging her own path. Her sincere approach to patients and her growing character, despite occasional setbacks, resonated with many viewers. This drama recorded higher viewership ratings than "Itaewon Class" in Korea and became a hot topic.
