Though the drama had its supporters, the number of episodes were brought down to 14, from the planned 16 due to low viewership ratings.[2]

Synopsis

Inspired by Mary Shelley's gothic novel Frankenstein, it tells the story of a world-renowned but unsympathetic neurosurgeon and his involvement with the mysterious deaths in the hospital he works in.

Cast
