Synopsis
Post-war Korea, 1946: two female doctors ignite a forbidden love amid corruption and national turmoil.
1946 Choseon (Korea). Beautiful and brilliant Dr. Maria Arden returns to the country of her birth as the medical advisor to the U.S. Army—a stranger in an unfamiliar land ravaged by wars and corruption. There, she meets Dr. Kyeongju Lee, an alluring, mysterious woman navigating the complexities of post-war society. Their innocent flirtations turn into a heated, forbidden love affair, as they find themselves caught in the dangerous undercurrents of a nation struggling to rebuild itself. Two outsiders drawn helplessly to each other, their connection will challenge everything they thought they knew about love, loyalty, and survival in a world where nothing is as it seems.
