Plot

An unidentified man is rushed to the hospital and undergoes organ donation, with doctors Go and Oh performing the surgery. After removing the viable organs, they complain about the procedure being unusually difficult due to the corpse's tough skin. Suddenly, a female doctor screams about a ghost, and when the two doctors rush back, they find the body turning to ashes. A flashback reveals the identity and past of the mysterious donor.\n

The donor's heart goes to a girl named Park Wan-seo, whose father Jong-min is a former Olympic medalist and now a taekwondo instructor. He is overprotective due to past trauma and restricts her physical activity. However, Wan-seo begins to discover superhuman abilities, kicking a sandbag into the ceiling and running at lightning speed. She meets a nerdy young man, Park Ji-sung, who also has a superpower, an absurdly strong lung capacity. He urges her to find others like them. This leads them to a gathering of organ transplant recipients.\n

At the gathering, Wan-seo's team wins the competition thanks to her powers. There, they meet Kim Seon-nyeo, a quirky yogurt seller who turns out to have a hidden tattoo linking her to the others. The group, now growing, includes Hwang Gi-dong, who gained electromagnetic vision via a cornea transplant and can control devices by snapping his fingers. Tensions rise between Ji-sung and Gi-dong, but the team starts to bond, even giving themselves hero names.\n

Meanwhile, Yeong-chun, the elderly leader of a new religious movement is revived by mysterious means, possibly linked to an organ transplant. His daughter Chun-hwa grows suspicious as she uncovers a web of surgeries, supernatural powers, and a plan to harvest more organs. Laborers at a construction site suffer an accident, but team member Huh Yak-seon, who has healing powers, helps save lives at great personal cost.\n

As Chun-hwa begins kidnapping organ recipients to get ahead of her father's plans, the team, now fractured due to infighting, must reunite. Wan-seo convinces her father to help rescue her friends, and together they stop several kidnappings. However, Gi-dong is partially operated on by Yeong-chun, who now possesses multiple abilities. Yak-seon, despite his weakened state, helps rescue Gi-dong.\n

A now-youthful Yeong-chun emerges as a messianic figure during the revival meeting. Though initially met with skepticism, he uses his powers to perform \"miracles\", gaining fanatical followers. Meanwhile, Wan-seo and her father infiltrate his hideout and confront him. During the clash, Wan-seo finally unleashes her power in front of her father, defeating Yeong-chun.\n
