This gripping mystery-drama follows nurse Hae-rim who works in an exclusive hospital wing reserved for the ultra-wealthy. The hospital’s major investor, Kim Cheol-oh is a billionaire tycoon left paralyzed by a stroke. In his will, Kim has instructed that his entire fortune be given to charities, so his unscrupulous son Sang-woo is doing everything in his power to keep his father alive in order to extend his affluent lifestyle for as long as possible. After a car crash, a young brain dead woman named Mi-na is brought to the hospital. In exchange for a sum of money, Hae-rim agrees to Sang-woo’s directive to track down Mi-na’s next-of-kin, and get them to sign an organ donation consent form for her heart. But as she delves deeper into Mi-na’s past, Hae-rim uncovers the story of a young pregnant woman whose life has been particularly difficult. Mi-na went from being a bullied child to a sexually abused factory worker and then a desperate prostitute named “Madonna”. The more Hae-rim finds out, the more she bonds with the comatose patient and becomes determined to derail the heart transplant.
Madonna is a riveting tale of sorrow and redemption.
