Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Do Ji-Ui (Lee Jae-Wook) is a plastic surgeon and works at a university hospital. To serve as a public health doctor, which fulfills his mandatory military requirement, he quits the hospital. He wants to avoid getting assigned to work on an island, due to trauma he has about the island and the sea. Unfortunately for Do Ji-Ui, he is assigned to work in the remote island village of Pyeondong-do, which is a notorious island that every public health doctor wants to avoid. There, he meets Nurse Yuk Ha-Ri (Shin Ye-Eun), who works in the public health branch of Pyeondong-do. She used to work at a university hospital, but, for some reason, she came to Pyeondong-do and works here as a nurse. She has passion for her work and affection for her patients, but she also holds a secret.

Serving as a public health doctor in the remote island village Pyeondong-do, Do Ji-Ui helps the island villagers and learns love from them, who are full of stories and personalities.

Steve Jun 10 2026 2:02 pm Regarding sf's comment below. The drama focuses on Shin Ye-Eun's character because Lee Jae-Wook cannot act. He has just a few expressions, none of which are convincing.

sf Jun 10 2026 12:45 am Yuk Ha-Ri's character is too disturbing; to me, it becomes annoying. It is all over the place. If the title of the drama is "Doctor on the Edge," then let's focus on the male lead character rather than the simple nurse. Until now, it looks like Yuk Ha-Ri is the centre of this drama.

Professional Commentator Jun 08 2026 2:33 pm The story kinda unlogical. Dr. Do seems too much stupid make thing that can be solve by communicating solve in hard way because he choose to not communicate and moreover in modern day with foldable phone in hand there is no car / bike available to be use for patients visit standby at hospital like all they have there is two feet, boat and helicopter. The actor and actress deliver good performance but the writer is too dense creating unnecessary and unnatural problem just for the sake of plot story. 3/10 for the drama based on the story writing alone. Not sure if i can watch it till finish.

Cece Jun 06 2026 9:10 pm Loving this drama so far! The two leads are great and love to see Lee Jae Wook again!

Jillibean Jun 05 2026 5:42 pm In the first two episodes I have teared up four times. Good writing. :)

Lucy Jun 04 2026 1:16 pm Those two episodes got me! Loved it!?? Great couple and actors!

Love Seol ah too Jun 03 2026 1:45 am I've got the feeling that the girl has the secret too... It's cliche it must be some terminal disease whatever.

chloe Jun 02 2026 5:12 pm i just love this series. everything is perfect!

Musashi May 13 2026 12:03 am Doc Hollywood, Korean version.

Justitia May 05 2026 10:53 am Damn am I here here after reading the news about LJW enlisting in the military in this month, yeah!!!! Hope to see his face in this drama soon!! Love both the actor and actress !

younghee Oct 29 2025 10:36 pm Can’t wait to see Shin Yeeun as Yook Hari! This gonna be her new side of acting. Also Jaewook too! See you next year

Ekwy Oct 26 2025 1:15 am Keep coming Jae Wook I can never get tired of watching you onscreen
