Nico Kim

Nico Kim is an attending orthopedic surgeon at Seattle Grace Hospital; the ex-boyfriend of Levi Schmitt. He has a chiseled physique and smoldering eyes that could stop any woman (or man) in their tracks. But there’s more to him than his beguiling looks.
Nico’s attempts at flirting were incredibly hot and it was adorable watching his delight at getting Levi all flustered. When an attempt to cement a weakened vertebrae causes a patient's death, Nico is knocked for an emotional loop that causes him to become cold and distant, even to Schmitt. Not only did Nico apply for a new job in San Francisco, he was also a total jerk to Levi, as a major red flag in that otherwise blossoming relationship.
Even after Nico literally killed a guy -- making a mistake during surgery on a healthy 21-year-old man -- Nico still pulled himself together to do a Skype job interview for his dream position. Before doing that Skype interview, he made a nasty swipe at Levi, who had suggested Nico cancel the job interview because he wasn't in the right mindset after what happened. Nico basically said he knew that's what Levi would do because his whole life has been defined by failure, but that's not the case for Nico.
Nico's arrogance isn't particularly new -- for him, or for surgeons in general -- but it had a nasty edge this week. It's always been clear that Levi and Nico were at different points in their lives.
==Physical Appearance==
Being tall and slender, Nico has the kind of hair, eyebrows and lashes that girls would kill for. His lashes, just like his hair, are naturally thick, black and very much healthy. Nico has never been a fan of super military hair (as he refers to it) but rather keeps his locks at ears length, cut shorter underneath for a more classy version of the undercut. Nico's milky chocolate eyes can be compared to those of a wild cat. They're sharp and mysterious, capable of you in with a single look. In Nico's case, when no words are said, his eyes tell you the whole story. As it would be expected, Nico's skin is quite pale and seemingly pore less, as if it were made of porcelain.
He's tall, lean, handsome, and often wears a seductive smile, even when it's fake. Not only does he look the part, but he dresses the part as well. Nonetheless, it doesn't mean he's dressed to the nines at all times, but even on his worst days, his wardrobe is simple, clean and classy, always ready to leave a good first impression no matter where he is or who is with.
==Personality and Traits==
As can be said about all the male doctors, Nico oozes charm and charisma without even trying. There's just something fascinating about the way he wraps people around his finger with a single smile or phrase. Nico is no stranger to talking up or starting riveting conversations with complete strangers. All he needs is a simple hello and he'll have you hanging on his every word in a matter of seconds. Of course, as anyone else in his position would do, Nico takes full advantage of this.
Nico is the embodiment of confidence and self-love. Can it come off as arrogance at times? It most certainly can. But Nico won't be losing any sleep over that. He's not only confidence in his looks, but also his skills whether it be playing an instrument or acing a final he hardly even studied for with flying colors.
Nico is one of the most intelligent people you'll ever meet. Perhaps even to par with his mates, though Nico would drop dead before ever admitting to that. Nico is not nor has he ever been qualified to be a "meathead." His intelligence is often overshadowed by money and looks and while Nico wouldn't go out of his way to highlight it, one look at his spotless G.P.A. and his above average IQ would be more than enough to prove it.
Nico was obviously the very overconfident, slightly arrogant, thinks “he’s-the-best-doctor-in-the-hospital” type of vibe. This tragedy where he kills someone for the first time... He’s never killed a patient before. This is his first time. It kind of brings him... It grounds him pretty much. It brings him back to earth. He realizes he’s not invincible. He realizes he made a mistake. Nobody’s perfect. He realizes that, and now it’s all about the aftermath of how he copes with this tragedy, and seeing the people around him go through this.
