As a top resident at a prestigious hospital, Lee Kang-hoon is known for his exceptional skills and his ability to take on the toughest cases with confidence and skill.

However, Lee Kang-hoon's ambition and determination soon cause him to clash with his superiors, who are more concerned with the hospital's financial bottom line and the politics of the medical industry than with providing top-notch care to their patients. Lee Kang-hoon faces opposition from every angle as he fights for the best possible outcomes for his patients and struggles against the bureaucratic forces that try to hold him back.

In addition to its gripping medical drama, Brain also delves into the personal lives of its characters, exploring their relationships, family dynamics, and personal struggles. The show's creators do an excellent job of humanizing the doctors and nurses, showing them as multidimensional characters with their own joys and sorrows, hopes and fears.
