Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The drama adapts Japanese novel 'On Hand of God' but shifts focus to anesthesiology—Korea's most underrepresented medical specialty in media.
Ji Sung learned basic anesthesia procedures and hospital protocol for three months; his needle-handling in Episode 7 is actual technique, not camera tricks.
