White Tower

Dr. Jang Joon Hyeok is an ambitious, rising star within the surgery department of Myeongin University Hospital, and has his heart set on becoming department head after the current chief, Dr. Lee, retires. His boss, however, has other ideas and brings in Dr. Noh Min Guk from the U.S. with the intention of giving him the post instead. Dr Choi Do Young, meanwhile, is Dr. Jang's closest friend, but unlike Dr. Jang, he is solely focused on the well-being of his patients and uninterested in hospital politics, which often leads him to clash with Dr. Jang. With Dr. Jang's career threatened and a lawsuit filed against him by a dead patient's family, everyone will have to take sides, including Dr. Jang's med-student-turned-bar-hostess girlfriend and the department head's daughter, Lee Yoon Jin, who is in love with the married Dr. Choi. Tightly written, uncompromising, and often heartbreaking, White Tower is the story of one man's journey through the dark clouds of ambition.
