New Heart is a medical drama, consisting of 23 episodes, that aired on MBC from December 2007 to February 2008. The series stars Ji Seong as Namkang Jin, a talented thoracic surgeon who returns to the hospital where he completed his residency, Geonam University Hospital, to work as a fellow under decorated surgeon Lee Eun-sung (played by Cho Jae-hyun). However, upon arriving, he discovers that the hospital has fallen into a state of disrepair and needs a complete overhaul.

Namkang Jin quickly realizes that the hospital is in dire need of an upgrade in terms of the quality of care it provides to patients, and he sets out to revolutionize the way that doctors and nurses treat their patients. However, he soon discovers that he is not the only doctor who is passionate about changing the way that medicine is practiced at Geonam University Hospital. He is joined in his efforts by Dr. Choi In-hyuk (played by Lee Ji-hoon), a young doctor who is outspoken, brilliant, and compassionate.

Together, Namkang Jin and Choi In-hyuk work tirelessly to improve the quality of care at the hospital, and they are supported by their colleagues and the hospital staff. Along the way, they encounter a number of obstacles to their efforts to revolutionize the hospital’s practices, including rivalries among the medical staff, budget constraints, and difficult medical cases. However, they remain committed to their mission and work tirelessly to overcome these challenges.

The show features a number of themes, including the importance of hard work, the value of teamwork, and the need to provide high-quality medical care to all patients, regardless of their status or background. The series also explores the personal lives of the main characters, including their relationships with each other, their families, and their patients.

One of the standout performances in the series is Ji Seong, who brings a depth of emotion, intensity, and passion to his portrayal of Namkang Jin. As the series progresses, the audience learns more about his background, his motivations, and his struggles, and Seong portrays these with nuance and authenticity. His chemistry with Kim Min-joung, who plays a nurse named Lee Eun-seol, is electric and adds a romantic subplot to the show.

Cho Jae-hyun is also excellent as Lee Eun-sung, Namkang Jin's mentor and the chief of the department of thoracic surgery at the hospital. He brings gravitas and dignity to the role of a seasoned physician who is frustrated by the bureaucracy of the medical establishment and is looking for a way to make a difference.

Lee Ji-hoon delivers a strong performance as Choi In-hyuk, Namkang Jin's rival and confidante. He brings a youthful energy and humor to the show, while also portraying the character's serious commitment to his patients and his colleagues.

Overall, New Heart is a well-written, well-acted, and engrossing medical drama that explores important themes and offers a compelling look at the world of medicine. It is a must-watch for fans of the genre and anyone who is interested in stories about the human condition.
