A drama that deals with the brain and neurosurgeons.

Medical drama series "Brain" involves around three doctors at prestigious Chunha University Hospital. Lee Kang-Hoon (Shin Ha-Kyun) is an excellent, but arrogant, brain surgeon at Chunha University Hospital. He came from a poor family background and is still haunted by the painful memory of his father's death which was caused by the rejection of a doctor. Kang-Hoon has a strong desire to succeed and prove that he is the best. His rival is Joon-Suk (Jo Dong-Hyeok) who comes from a family of doctors and has basically everything. Kim Sang-Chul (Jung Jin-Young) is known as the best brain surgeon at Chunha University Hospital. He also cares about his patients and has a strong dislike for Kang-Hoon.

One day, a young man collapses at an indoor swimming pool and is sent to the hospital. The patient is unconscious on arrival. Kang-Hoon gives the order to prepare for surgery, but Joon-Suk suggests that they call Kim Sang-Chul to perform the surgery. Kang-Hoon replies that there isn't enough time and performs the surgery himself, while other doctors observe the operation...
Lee Kang Hoon (Shin Ha Kyun), who graduated from the top medical school, works at the top hospital, and is the top neurosurgeon around. Basically, he¡¯s Brain No. 1. (And he works on brains, too!) He has ambitions to become the director at his university hospital. He is obsessed with success, which is probably both his greatest flaw and strength, since it makes him steely and fierce.

He finds a hated enemy, a rival and a teacher in Professor Kim Sang Chul (Jung Jin Young), a world famous neurologist whose friendly demeanor and kindness with his patients acts as a stark contrast to Lee Kang Hoon's cold and unforgiving attitude. Yoon Ji Hye (Choi Jung Won) is a third-year resident in the neurosurgery department who is well-liked for her warm bedside manner. She is initially a thorn in Kang Hoon's side with her criticisms of his behaviour, but later becomes his staunchest supporter. Seo Joon Suk (Jo Dong Hyuk) is Kang Hoon's classmate and rival in both love and career.
