In the first episode of God's Quiz's first season, viewers are introduced to the brilliant and charismatic protagonist, Han Jin-woo. A medical genius with an encyclopedic knowledge of diseases and symptoms, Han has just returned from the United States to join the medical examiner team at the National Institute of Scientific Investigation (NISI).
As the episode opens, Han is examining the body of a young woman found dead on a subway platform. The only clue to her identity is a pack of cigarettes found near her body. Han quickly deduces that she has died of cyanide poisoning, despite the lack of obvious external injuries. He notes that her organs appear to be healthy, contradicting the theory that she might have committed suicide due to health issues.
With a personal stake in the case, Han becomes determined to uncover the woman's identity and the reasons for her death. He enlists the help of the NISI's rookie team, consisting of Jung Eun-suk and Kang Kyung-hee, who initially dismiss Han's theories as far-fetched and subjective.
As they begin to investigate the case, Han's team discovers a hospital bracelet on the woman's wrist, linking her to a nearby medical center. The woman is eventually identified as Sook-joo, a seemingly healthy young woman who volunteered as a test subject for pharmaceutical research studies.
With this new information, Han delves deeper into Sook-joo's medical history and discovers that she was not as healthy as she appeared. He uncovers evidence of a previous surgery and a chronic condition that likely contributed to her death. Meanwhile, Jung and Kyung-hee begin to uncover a conspiracy involving illegal pharmaceutical testing and a medical cover-up.
As Han and his team race against time to track down those responsible for Sook-joo's death, they encounter obstruction and interference from powerful officials in the medical industry. Han is also challenged by his own personal demons and past trauma, which threaten to undermine his pursuit of justice.
The episode ends with a dramatic twist, as Han and his team realize that they have been pursuing the wrong suspect all along. Despite this setback, they remain determined to uncover the truth and bring justice to Sook-joo.
Overall, the first episode of God's Quiz sets the tone for the rest of the series, showcasing Han's brilliance and tenacity as well as the complex ethical and moral challenges facing those in the medical industry. The episode is fast-paced, suspenseful, and engaging, introducing viewers to a world of science, medicine, and crime-solving that will keep them hooked throughout the entire season.
