The drama is based on the manga " The 19th medical record Tokushige's Questioning" by Katsuhito Fujiya, and depicts a general practitioner who lends a helping hand to patients' lifestyles. This is Matsumoto's first time playing a doctor, and the show also stars Fuka Koshiba and Mackenyu. The script is written by Aya Tsubota, who has worked on the "Kounodori" series (same channel).

Chayazaka, played by First Summer Uika, is a star doctor who is attracting attention in the medical world. He has a "strong" personality and tends to get involved with people who interest him.

In the first episode, Yokobuki Junichi (Rokupei Naomasa), who is hospitalized with a broken leg, is diagnosed with a myocardial infarction, and Chayazaka and the others have to perform surgery on him urgently.

Chayazaka was curious about Tokushige (Matsumoto), a doctor from the general medicine department who suddenly showed up and discovered Yokobuki's hidden illness.

One day, Tokushige comes to where Chayazaka and the head of the pediatrics department, Shiori Arimatsu (Yoshino Kimura), are taking a break. Tokushige repeatedly asks Arimatsu questions about a patient he is concerned about. However, Arimatsu tells him, "I'll take care of my own patients," to which Tokushige explains, "I'm sorry. I got impatient. I wanted to become colleagues working at the same hospital."

Meanwhile, Chayazaka picked up a piece of fried chicken from his lunchbox with his chopsticks and offered it to Tokushige. However, Tokushige was confused by Chayazaka's actions and stepped back. Chayazaka then asked Tokushige, "Aren't we going to be friends?"

On social media, comments such as "What, for real? The cardiac surgeon who appeared in The 19th medical record was First Summer Uika!?", "So it was First Summer Uika The 19th medical record after all. I didn't recognise her at first because her fashion was different from usual", "I love Uika's look in The 19th medical record more than ever", "Uika's look is amazing, I love her so much", "Isn't Uika beautiful again?" and "First Summer Uika has a great look" were posted and became a hot topic.
