Poster from Han cinema

The leader of a South Korean Special Forces unit is Yoo Si-jin (Song Joong-ki). When they catch a young guy stealing a motorcycle while off-duty, he is with his friend Master Sergeant Seo Dae-young (Jin Goo). During the chase, the thief, Kim Gi-bum (Kim Min-seok), sustains an injury and is consequently taken to the hospital. After realising that the burglar had taken his cellphone, Dae-young and Si-jin head to the hospital to collect it.Si-jin first encounters Dr. Kang Mo-yeon (Song Hye-kyo) in the emergency room, where he feels a strong attraction to her. Si-call jin’s sign is “Big Boss,” and Mo-Yeon overhears Dae-young refer to him as such, leading her to believe that she is a member of the thief’s criminal gang.

Yoon Myung-Ju, an army surgeon (Kim Ji-won), who turns out to be Mo-former yeon’s medical school adversary, assists him in establishing his identity.When Si-jin and Mo-Yeon start dating, their dates frequently end in the middle because Si-jin is frequently called into service. Si-jin is given the go-ahead to travel to the fictitious war-torn nation of Uruk for a peacekeeping mission. While everything is going on, Mo-Yeon is unhappy because she learned that a professorship had been given to a less qualified colleague who was related to someone in the hospital management. Si-jin asks Mo-Yeon directly to explain his sudden disappearances and employment when she encounters him again after her return.The highly classified nature of his tasks, however, prevents him from going into too much detail. They discuss their worldviews and become aware of how different they are. As a soldier, Si-jin murders to preserve life, whereas Mo-Yeon, as a doctor, upholds the Hippocratic Oath and works to save life. They agree to split ways because of their divergent philosophical viewpoints.

As a non-commissioned officer, Dae-young must decide whether to keep his connection with Myung-Ju going or risk being expelled from the army for violating the fraternisation policy. It was unpleasant because Myung-ju was the daughter of the Special Forces commander, who was Si-and jin’s his superior.After rejecting the hospital director’s love advances eight months later, Mo-Yeon is forced against her will to lead a group of medical volunteers to Uruk as payback for her rejection of the hospital director. In Uruk, Si-jin and Mo-yeon reunite and learn more about one another’s roles as their teams deal with an earthquake and a virus, as well as a notorious warlord who was once in the military and fought with Si-jin but now takes advantage of the city’s corrupt government to profit from human and arm trafficking. The two begin dating after Mo-yeon unintentionally expresses her feelings in Uruk, much to the delight of their respective teams.She gradually accepts the prospect that he could be murdered while serving, as well as the possibility that she might never know his exact whereabouts.

In the meantime, Myung-ju nearly perishes in quarantine after contracting the virus, and Dae-young, who is often stoic, eventually musters the courage to be more affectionate toward her.After returning to Korea, Si-jin and Mo-yeon stay together until Si-jin and Dae-young are dispatched on a secret mission, during which they vanish and are presumed killed. After Si-passing jin’s had been mourned for months, Mo-yeon decides to honour him by joining a medical team dispatched to Albania while Myung-ju was assigned to a medical mission in Uruk.On the day of their one-year death anniversary, Si-jin discovers her here, while Dae-young travelled to Uruk to locate Myung-ju after informing the military headquarters that they were still alive. Si-jin revealed to Mo-yeon that “a buddy from afar,” a North Korean soldier Si-jin had previously assisted, had saved him and Dae-young from captivity after their reunion. All four couples—Si-jin and Mo-yeon, Myung-ju and Dae-young—are joyfully reunited.
