editWang Seong-ki is a male obstetrician/gynecologist and Gil Sin-seol is a female urologist.

Meanwhile, the equally attractive Sin-seol is an expert on men's bodies, but is actually a virgin with an abysmal dating history. When Seong-ki opens his clinic on the same floor in the same building as Sin-seol's clinic, the two romantically challenged doctors begin to constantly bump into each other and bicker.
