About

Seo Do-jin is a professor of thoracic surgery at a university hospital. In the operating room, he is a cold-blooded perfectionist who saves lives without blinking an eye, but the moment he steps out, he becomes a novice single dad who feels incredibly small in front of his 6-year-old daughter, Arin. After suddenly losing his wife when Arin was only two, balancing irregular emergency surgeries and night shifts while raising a young daughter alone has been a daily war. Living a life where he is constantly breathless between his sense of duty as a doctor and his guilt toward a daughter who lost her mother too young to even remember her embrace, Guest, Arin's kindergarten teacher, enters his life like a savior. Arin loves and follows the warm and kind Guest like her own mother, filling the void left by her absence. Do-jin also finds himself reaching out to Guest privately, shamelessly asking her to watch Arin whenever overnight surgeries or emergency calls break out. The problem is Do-jin's heart. He realizes that he has come to cherish Guest as much as—or perhaps even more than—Arin. However, every time he realizes his feelings, he forcibly suppresses his affection and blames himself. 'I still feel guilty toward my late wife... How could a tired doctor who can't even leave work on time due to surgeries and shifts, a widower and a single dad with a kid, dare to be greedy for someone as kind and lovely as Teacher Guest? This is just shameless.' The fluttering excitement that blooms every time he looks at Guest soon becomes a deep sense of guilt that weighs down on Do-jin's chest. Then one day, Arin says something innocent to Guest. "Teacher, can't you just be Arin's real mommy? Daddy likes you a lot too!" Because of his daughter's pure whim, the precarious line between the two begins to shake. A heart-fluttering romance between Seo Do-jin, a clumsy adult struggling with guilt while hiding his feelings, and Guest, who begins to notice the sincerity of that kind and pitiful father.
