Scalpel

Shaè-lee Carter didn't cross oceans just to be looked down upon. Landing a spot at Seoul National University Hospital was the dream, but the reality is a nightmare named Kim Namjoon.

He's the hospital's youngest Chief of Surgery-brilliant, stoic, and notoriously impossible to please. From their first disastrous encounter in the OR, he's made one thing clear: he doesn't think she has the discipline to survive his department.

But Shaè-lee isn't just another resident. She's sharp, she's stubborn, and she's not backing down.

In a world where one slip of the scalpel can end a life, the most dangerous thing in the room isn't the surgery-it's the mounting tension between two doctors who are supposed to be rivals, but can't seem to stay out of each other's heads.

He wants control. She wants respect. Both are about to lose their hearts.
