Yeo Jeong-woo has always been a star. During his school days, he was the unbeatable top student, securing a spot at the nation’s most prestigious medical school. Now, he’s a highly sought-after plastic surgeon, with a flawless career and a reputation that precedes him. Everything seems perfect—until a mysterious medical accident sends his world spiraling out of control, threatening everything he’s worked so hard to build. Just as his life teeters on the edge, fate brings him face-to-face with someone from his past: Nam Ha-neul.

Ha-neul was Jeong-woo’s academic rival back in the day, known for her brilliance and dubbed a “genius” by those around her. As an anesthesiologist, she has spent her entire life chasing excellence, pouring every ounce of energy into studying and working. But her relentless pursuit of success has come at a cost—Ha-neul’s life is a joyless routine, devoid of fun, connection, or fulfillment. One day, she realizes the truth: despite all her achievements, she isn’t happy. Something needs to change.

In the midst of her own personal crisis, Ha-neul’s path crosses with Jeong-woo’s at his lowest point. Both of them are struggling, weighed down by expectations, regrets, and uncertainty. What begins as an awkward reunion between former rivals slowly transforms into something far deeper. As they lean on each other for comfort, the walls around their hearts begin to crumble, and a romance starts to bloom—unexpected, but desperately needed.

But love is never simple, especially when two people with so much history—and so much emotional baggage—are involved. Will Jeong-woo and Ha-neul be able to let go of their pasts and build a future together? Or will their ambition and personal demons get in the way of their second chance at happiness?

Healing Hearts is a heartfelt story of two brilliant minds discovering that success isn’t enough—sometimes, the greatest victories are found in love, understanding, and healing together.
