Goro Saizen (played by Takuya Kimura) and Shuji Satomi (played by Yosuke Eguchi) are doctors who intern together, but they take completely different paths. Saizen becomes the de facto first professor of the surgery department due to his exceptional personal skills. Saizen's aggressiveness threatens the retiring first surgery professor, Kozo Higashimura (played by Koji Ishizaka), prompting Professor Higashimura to seek someone else for the position. As a result, the ambitious Saizen seeks the help of his father-in-law— the director of the Saizen Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic, Yoichi Saizen (played by Toshiyuki Nishida), and the first internal medicine professor, Ikusui (played by Masahito Ibu). Through bribery and forming alliances, he faces difficulties but ultimately secures the position of the first surgery professor. In contrast, his peer, the first internal medicine assistant professor Satomi, is a pragmatic scholar dedicated to research. The different choices they make lead to their ultimately divergent fates. Saizen, now in a powerful position, reaches the heights of his dreams but finds himself in a cold and lonely place, leading to tragedy. This drama is adapted from the classic novel by Yasunari Kawabata. Dubbed a "national-level novel" in Japan, it has undergone five adaptations and has been brought to the screen multiple times. The content directly addresses the dark side of hospitals and remains relevant even after many years.
