How's the liver? Are you heading here now?
We have a problem, Professor Ahn.
-What's wrong? -The donor's liver is too thick.
It looks like it weighs over 500g. And her AP must be as thick as 8cm.
What should we do?
This liver seems too big for Ji-a. It won't work.
I think you should give up.
No, we'll proceed as planned.
I'm going to do this.
Hello.
-You're still here? -Yes.
Did the painter Mr. Jang Hong-do leave for the day?
Yes, Mr. Jang was...
I mean, he was here, but he left just now.
All right. You should get going too.
Okay.
Want to see a liver transplant?
Yes.
Thank you.
For a baby to get a liver transplant, the size is the most important factor.
If it's too big, the results will be fatally affected.
For a baby, we'd usually cut a brain-dead donor's liver in half,
but this donor's liver is much bigger than we expected.
Even if we cut it in half, it'll still be too big for the baby.
Ji-a is only six months old.
So, Ji-a can't get the surgery? Will she have to wait for another liver?
She doesn't have a "next time."
Her liver can't release the bile, so hepatocirrhosis is worsening rapidly.
She vomited blood and had blood in her excrement.
She won't last more than a week.
-Then what do we do? -What?
I'm sorry.
Then what do we do, Professor?
She can't get the surgery and won't live if we don't do anything.
-What do we do? -We'll perform the surgery.
But you said even the half-cut liver is too big.
-We can cut it again. -What?
What? What's wrong?
I'm really sorry.
Did you say we can cut the liver again?
Yes.
We'll cut the half-cut liver in half again.
It happens occasionally. Of course, the surgery will be very difficult.
Still, we have to do it.
It won't be easy,
but this is the last and only way to save the baby.
-Ji-a. -Please, God...
Here.
-Three, three, three. -Three, three, three.
-Liver coming out. -One.
-Gosh, it must have been hard for her. -Two.
-Three, four. -I'm amazed she held out with that liver.
-Five, six. -Ji-a is really amazing.
-Seven, eight. -Seven, eight.
-Nine. -Nine, ten.
The liver is here.
Thank you. Thanks for your help, Dr. Jang.
You said you were by the traffic light across the street.
You got here so fast.
-Did you run? -Thankfully, the traffic wasn't so bad.
But the elevator in this building is broken,
so I ran up here.
I mean, I didn't run.
I quickly...
I walked quickly. Just walked.
I was being careful to deliver this safe and sound.
My gosh, Gyeo-ul.
Great job.
It looks like we're done, Professor.
Yes, thanks for all your help.
-We're ready, Professor. -Okay.
Would you like to try the next External Ventricular Drainage?
What?
You're in your third year, so it's about time.
Get ready.
Thank you.
The liver has been cut, so it's bleeding a lot.
Forceps. Quick.
This will take a while. Ik-jun.
Yes, I'll let her parents know.
There's a lot of bleeding, Doctor.
Yes, she's still okay though.
Focus. You have to do a thorough job with the suction.
-I can't see. -Okay.
Pass me the gauze.
Doctor.
Is Ji-a well now?
Did the surgery go well, Doctor?
Yes.
It went well.
Why are you crying? It went very well. Ji-a is such a strong girl.
Please don't cry. People will think that the surgery didn't go well.
Thank you.
Thank you, Doctor.
Thank you so much for everything. We'll never forget this.
There was more bleeding than we had expected, so it wasn't easy.
But we managed to get it under control.
She's stable now, and we'll move her to the ICU shortly.
The transplant went well,
so she'll be fine as long as the liver works well.
The surgery went successfully, so Ji-a will recover soon.
-Thank you. -This must've been so hard for you.
You held out very well.
I don't know how I can express my gratitude.
Thank you so much.
Ji-a could live because she was lucky enough to find a brain-dead donor.
This is truly a miracle.
And we were very lucky to find a young donor.
We owe it all to you, Doctor.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
Thank you.
All I did was perform the surgery.
Pardon?
You should thank that person instead.
-Who? -Who?
Age 22, female.
Tall and slim.
A traffic accident victim.
I'm talking about the donor.
The person who gave Ji-a the liver.
I can't give you
more information about the donor as it's against our rules,
but Ji-a could live thanks to her.
I'm so ashamed, Doctor.
I'll thank her for the rest of my life.
I was only thinking about my baby.
-I'm so sorry. -We're sorry.
No, don't be sorry. I fully understand.
But every year, on Ji-a's birthday,
please thank her
with all your heart.
-We will. -Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Then I'll see you in the PICU later.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yes. Can you send this to me with the image?
Yes, thank you. Will do.
-Still, I'm worried. -Don't be.
The contractions are under control, and the baby is doing well too.
-She'll be fine. -Do you have to keep using the drugs?
As I explained before, those drugs are completely fine.
I'll go through them again with you.
Just a moment, please.
That patient, Park Mi-jeong. What was her cervical length again?
-Hold on. -It was 1.5cm.
I see, 1.5cm.
-Dr. Chu. -Yes, Professor.
The C-section patient bled a lot because her contractions weren't good.
Check the pad and keep an eye on her contractions.
Yes, sir.
Doctor, my wife says that she's in a lot of pain. What should I do?
I checked her five minutes ago but didn't notice any changes with her cervix.
I'll check in a bit and give her an analgesic if needed.
Can you please check now?
Sure.
-Dr. Chu. -Yes?
We're giving Sin Hyo-jeong ritodrine at 12gtt per minute,
but she has tachycardia.
Oh, let's bring it down to 8gtt. And check her vitals in an hour.
Okay.
We'll see how the baby is doing
and keep the baby in the womb for longer if needed.
Is there a chance that the baby will be weak compared to other babies
or can't live for long?
No, that won't happen.
My mom also had a very hard time when she had me.
-Really? -In my case...
My mom is diabetic, and she got pregnant unexpectedly.
She's diabetic?
Patient Seo Jeong-won's episiotomy site looks pretty good, doesn't it?
Yes, I checked in the morning. She doesn't have a hematoma. All good.
Dr. Chu, can you have a look at this NST?
Jeong Min-gyeong is exhibiting decelerations.
Let's hydrate her.
Give her 3L of oxygen via nasal prong in the lateral position.
Okay.
-Doctor. -My sister's baby was born prematurely,
but she's so optimistic and easygoing though.
I was worried about her even though I'm an ob-gyn,
but she said she was happy to meet her baby early.
-My gosh, really? -Yes.
-Doctor. -Yes?
I'm really hungry.
Can I eat something?
Let's check fetal movements. Hold on. I'll be with you in a minute.
She'll have a healthy baby, and the baby will stay healthy.
My sister's baby is already two years old. Do you want to see photos?
Yes, I'd love to.
-Dr. Myeong. -Yes?
We need to check Sin Ha-yun's fetal movements,
and we have to check Jeong Min-gyeong for decelerations.
Also, we have two C-sections scheduled,
so we have to get ready. We have a lot to do.
Okay, got it.
Doctor, you're very straightforward.
Have a good day.
You too.
Well... I'll go check the C-section patient's pad.
Okay.
Oh, boy. A showdown between the bear and the fox.
-Who's the fox? -Isn't it obvious?
RESTRICTED AREA
Professor, Jeong Min-gyeong is exhibiting decelerations. I'll go check.
Give her 3L of oxygen via nasal prong, right?
Yes.
Okay.
What's taking him so long?
I should've offered to pick it up.
It's his minor personal satisfaction.
He's probably chatting with the delivery guy.
Couldn't you have hurried? We're dying of hunger here.
How can you talk about death so easily when you're a doctor?
Hong-do and Yun-bok, eat as much as you want.
Eat up and join our department later on.
-Okay. -Okay.
Here. If you don't, that's a eat and run.
-Okay. -Okay.
Can I have Double Bacon? It's my favorite sandwich.
My gosh, of course.
-You can have two. -Great, I will.
We'll still have leftovers.
So I called someone to join us.
Oh, Jeong-won is--
-Sandwiches? Nice. -What the...
Well, he's a rain check.
You should have let me finish my sentence. Goodness.
Hello.
-Hello. -Hello.
Sit down, guys.
-But why am I a rain check? -Don't ask. You don't need to know.
Hurry and eat, or Gyeo-ul will eat everything. Here.
Oh. It's been a while, guys.
Gyeon-u and Jik-nyeo, right?
You called us like that last time, and I told you our names.
Right, they were some painters' names.
Ma-ne and Mo-ne?
We're Hong-do and Yun-bok.
Right. Gosh, I'm really sorry. We even did the Wakanda gesture together.
-Sorry, guys. -It's okay.
And Ma-ne and Mo-ne are our cousins.
What? Seriously?
Yes.
Don't tell me they're twins.
They are.
-Identical twins? -Identical twins.
-Five years old? -Five years old.
Why are you saying the exact same things?
Dr. Bong.
-Here, have some water. -You're having a late lunch.
I brought you some napkins.
Oh, I had an emergency patient. How did you guys all become friends?
We're both chief residents, and I've known him for a while.
As for Chi-hong, he's Seok-min's favorite.
-What? When did I say that? -Really?
I mean, he's very fond of you.
He talks about you all the time, so I feel like I know you so well.
By the way, why did you leave the military, Captain Ahn?
I bet it was because of a woman. Come on. Tell us.
There wasn't any special reason. I'll tell you another time.
I guess I should be like that too. It makes him look all mysterious.
Professor.
I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I got one of each.
An iced Americano, a hot Americano, and a latte.
Hello.
What kind of story shall I tell you guys today?
Dr. Chu, what happened to your face?
-What? -Your skin looks ashy. Are you okay?
My foundation is to blame. I'm wearing 25, which is quite dark.
It's too dark for you. Your neck looks much lighter than your face now.
This is the Black Pearl Makeup.
Your face looks tiny if you wear this because it makes you look tanned.
You look like you went to a tanning salon because you couldn't go on vacation.
By the way, how did you two become friends?
You're in different departments. Also, your ages and even
your skin colors are different.
We're both members of ARMY.
You served in the military together? Dr. Ahn, they're your juniors.
Not the army. They meant...
Did you get Internet service installed yesterday?
Yes.
I got ADSL Mega pass installed yesterday, the fastest Internet service in Korea.
I sold all my acorns
and used up all my KTF Bigi eggs for it.
-What's he saying? -Anyway...
So you two like BTS. My sister is a huge fan as well.
Yes, we met in the fan club.
Jeez, it looks like residents these days have so much time on their hands.
You guys have time to join a fan club and chat like this at the cafeteria.
-Back in my day-- -Professor, have this latte.
-A latte. -Yes.
Forget the cafeteria. We didn't even have time to eat.
Shall I tell you a story about when I was a resident?
-Bye. -Bye.
However, those two on the Gongnyong Ridge.
The first love. The old love. I should tell you guys the love story.
My goodness.
I'm not really interested though.
Ik-jun and Jun-wan were always dating someone. They were both popular.
I'm pretty sure they always had girlfriends.
Wow, really? I'm impressed.
Moving on. What about Professor Yang Seok-hyeong?
Seok-hyeong? He barely dated.
And he married the woman his parents chose.
They got a divorce in less than a year.
He went to the US right after that, but he did nothing but study.
I see.
But he's in love now. So in love.
What? With who?
With his TV.
No woman can beat his TV.
What about Professor Chae? Was she a campus couple?
Yes, she was.
-Professor Lee Ik-jun, right? -Ik-jun?
Gosh, no. They're really just friends.
Was it from the winter of her freshman year or her second year?
Anyway, she was in a long-term relationship.
She dated a senior guy for a number of years.
They dated for over three to four years, and she dated other guys after that too.
She just doesn't want to get married.
What about Professor Ahn Jeong-won?
If anyone has a crush on Jeong-won,
that person will have to beat God first.
Gosh, who can do that?
If there is someone that likes him, she should give up.
How dare she compete against God?
Dr. Jang.
Are you a Buddhist?
This is probably making you uncomfortable.
Let's change the topic.
Okay, we are done. Finished.
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
Why are you still up?
-I'm studying the EVD procedure. -EVD?
We do that all the time.
When we get an IVH patient, I'll be the lead surgeon for the surgery.
What?
You still haven't done that yet?
Gosh, Professor Chae is too much.
I did it in my second year.
-Good luck. -Thanks.
You'll probably get scolded,
-but still... Best of luck. -Thanks.
Professor Chae...
When you make a mistake for the first time, she lets it go.
But if you make another mistake...
Anyway, you can do it.
Thanks.
I can do this too.
Why don't you just shower here?
Oh, Professor Cheon. I'm sorry.
Do you have surgery?
Yes, I'm going into Professor Kim Jun-wan's VSD surgery.
You two are like besties.
Yes.
He's quite fond of me.
-He speaks very highly of you. -No way.
-Thank you. -All right, get going.
Oh, right.
What's with him today? He didn't even swear at me.
First, we'll block the hole between the left and right ventricles.
If the mitral regurgitation continues even after we block the VSD,
we'll fix that too.
We expect that it'll take about five hours.
Don't worry too much.
Okay. Thank you for everything in advance, Doctor.
-Thank you, Doctor. -No problem. I'll see you later.
SURGERY IN PROGRESS
Captain Ahn will get an earful from Professor Chae today.
It's so hard to set Kocher's point when you can't see the coronal suture.
Go in and watch. You guys are in the same year.
I can't. I'm too nervous for him.
I'm even more nervous now than when I had to do it.
Can you see the coronal suture?
I'll try again.
Sometimes, you can't see it because of the blood. Use gauze.
Okay. Forceps.
Bone wax, please.
WAXY SUBSTANCE USED TO CONTROL BLEEDING
Try to control bleeding with bone wax while you're at it.
Heavy bleeding may occur when you use the curette.
-Be careful. -Okay.
Curette.
Tilt it a little.
No, up.
Good.
Well done. I think the angles on the left and right are wrong.
Let's wrap up here. Can you pull it out?
Sure.
This has to go in straight.
You need to look at the inner canthus, but you're not used to it yet.
Got it. I'm sorry.
This is a common mistake. Just do a good job next time.
Okay.
Bayonet forceps, please.
Blade 15.
I cut through it again.
How many times have I done this already?
The valve is so delicate.
Get me a smaller needle.
ELAPSED TIME
Honey, it's been over nine hours.
He said it'd take around five hours.
What if
something went wrong?
All right. Let's go in together.
Okay.
It took longer than we had expected.
Even I wanted to cut my hand off.
-Pardon? -Gosh, Doctor!
After repairing the ventricular septal defect,
the mitral regurgitation was quite severe, so I tried to fix it.
But the regurgitation continued to worsen because the tissues kept ripping.
Right. But in conclusion, everything went well.
-I see. Thank you. -Thank you.
So Chang-mo is okay, right?
He bled quite a bit halfway through, so we struggled a little,
but the surgery went well.
Then when can we see Chang-mo?
We managed to minimize the regurgitation,
so the baby is stable now.
As I explained before, we'll put Chang-mo to sleep for the next three days--
You'll be able to see Chang-mo shortly in the PICU.
Don't worry about a thing.
-Honey, we can see him shortly. -Yes.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
Professor, you need to state the conclusion first.
Start with the conclusion, whether it went well or not.
Doctors must inform the guardians about everything that happens in the OR.
From beginning to end, in a calm manner.
If you keep doing that, every guardian will get a heart attack.
Gosh, seriously.
You're so insensitive sometimes.
I'm not telling you to sugarcoat things.
State the facts. But first, you need to ease their minds.
Gosh, forget it.
Hey, my mom never scolded like that even when I was five.
He's right. Can you be more considerate when you talk?
Dr. Do, well done.
-Hello, Professor. -Yes, hello.
Please talk casually to me.
Gosh, no.
Don't you have to go home? You took a shower, so go home already!
A baby got surgery for enteroclysis earlier in the day.
But there was some bleeding,
so I want to monitor the baby's vitals tonight.
You sure live up to your nickname, Buddha.
You should've done a better job with the surgery.
And you too live up to...
Right, you sure are Buddha's buddy.
I'm Catholic.
I knew it! My wife is a devoted Catholic.
Catholics are beautiful inside and out.
Thank you.
Oh, right.
Is there a professor named Cheon Myeong-tae in your department?
Yes. Why do you ask?
I heard we received an anonymous letter about a pharmaceutical company's rebate.
He got a golf club membership
and free meals at an upscale restaurant through them.
It sounds like most CS professors did it.
Hey, you didn't go, right?
Of course, I go often. My brother owns the golf club.
By the way,
who told you?
That you don't need to know.
I heard it was paid for with XG&YU's corporate credit card.
A guy who works there put it on the wrong card.
We play golf together often, so he got confused.
He kept apologizing.
Even today, he sent me over ten messages.
Sir, please. Don't make me look so petty.
A day on the golf course costs peanuts.
"Peanuts"? I heard the membership for the golf course
costs two hundred million won.
My brother owns the golf club, and I'm a member too.
Please believe me. It is not what you think it is.
Professor Kim Jun-wan
got a big mouth.
He kept overreacting.
I see that he practically wrote a novel.
Stop sighing. Are you trying to make the floor collapse or what?
I'm so embarrassed.
During Seon-bin's first surgery as a lead surgeon,
she suddenly put up both hands like this and said,
"I can't do this. I'm afraid I'll end up killing this patient."
Come on. Let's grab a drink together.
I can't. I'm working the night shift today.
Oh, boy.
I'm dying for a drink, but I happen to be working the night shift today.
-You're still here? -How's the baby?
The baby is doing okay at the moment. I'll check back later.
I hope you didn't play golf with Professor Cheon.
-I did, once. -What? You did?
The golf course there is really great.
The ball rolls in by itself.
Damn it. This will turn into a headache, then.
No, it won't. I paid for it myself.
How?
Didn't you guys use XG&YU's corporate card and their membership?
I kept getting a bad feeling during the game.
Professor Cheon always brags about his money,
so I assumed we were using his membership.
But something seemed off when we were cashing out.
So I went back and asked the staff
if we used their corporate credit card.
He said yes, so I paid for mine on the spot and left.
How much did you pay?
The most expensive membership is 200 million won.
It's usually for about 20 years,
so I multiplied it by 365, and it was 7,300.
Then it's about 27,397 won per day after dividing 200 million by 7,300 days.
Round it up to 28,000 won. The green fee was about 150,000 won,
and the cart was 20,000 won per person.
On top of that, the caddie fee was 30,000 won per person.
So I paid 228,000 won in total.
What? My GPA was second-highest in the entire Natural Science division.
Right, I'm relieved.
Gosh. Knowing how much you love golf,
I was worried you might've hung out with them without thinking.
Jeong-won.
These days,
I'm not even thinking about golf.
Bye.
Goodness.
Professor, did you go there too?
Did you play golf last weekend?
It's none of your business! It's personal.
Why are you interrogating me like this?
Gosh, you're such a nuisance.
Hey, you keep acting up these days.
Enough. Mind your own business.
Then tell me what you did last weekend.
What did you do last weekend?
I ate jajangmyeon.
Jajangmyeon? What?
I had buljajangmyeon. Are we good now?
Good call.
BEST MENU: BULJAJANGMYEON NEW MENU: NUKE BULJAJANGMYEON
Look at this name. It's so gutsy.
Don't your colleagues complain?
Even our commander is a regular here.
AUTHENTIC CHINESE RESTAURANT NUCLEAR KITCHEN
Enjoy.
It's one level below the one we had last week.
-Which level is this? -Level Four. Last week, we had Level Five.
-Were you okay last week? -I almost had to go to the ER.
I can definitely handle spicy food, but the one we had last week was hard.
This one looks quite spicy too.
The buljajangmyeon here should be used as the ROKA's new secret weapon.
Watch what you say. My unit is right across the street.
Who cares? My girlfriend is a major.
I bet only a handful of people outrank you.
No, there are so many officers who outrank me. There's a ton.
A lieutenant general, then a general?
Jun-wan. You were exempted, weren't you?
There's no three-star general in my division.
I knew it. I wondered how you became a professor before my brother did.
That's right. I was exempted.
What do you say? Do you want to hear my story? It's very long.
No, thanks. I'm sure you had your reason.
By the way, did you just mix my jajangmyeon for me?
Yes.
I'm so touched.
What? This is nothing.
Do you do this for my brother or your roomie, Jeong-won?
Hell no.
Why would I do it for them? We're always busy stuffing our own faces.
I don't even do it for my mom.
Because it's you...
I only do it for you.
Did you get an emergency call already?
No, I'm late.
Don't you still have some time until your rounds?
I'm late for breakfast. I never skip breakfast.
Oh, Dr. Jang Gyeo-ul is here.
What? It's fall already?
Gosh, is fall here already?
Right? I put on this trench coat today because of her.
What are you two talking about?
When you start wearing your denim shirt, that means fall is here.
When we see your white T-shirt, we know it's summer.
For us, you're like an indicator of the passage of time.
So I'm like your human calendar.
-Exactly. -Let's go, Dr. Jang.
Breakfast is on me since you informed me that fall is here.
You'll buy me breakfast?
Yes, Professor Kim Jun-wan gave me his card.
He gave me this yesterday, but I haven't returned it.
Something good must've happened to him. He's always in a good mood.
I bet he has no idea that I still have his card.
Let's hurry.
A male patient, age 29.
Based on his MRI, it looks like he has an astrocytoma.
The tumor is in the dominant hemisphere, and the size is about 7cm.
We'll have him get a navigation CT and a TFCA this afternoon.
Doctor. The surgery won't be difficult, right?
Everyone around us is worried, saying awake surgery is a difficult procedure.
There aren't any easy brain surgeries.
Awake surgery is an especially complicated procedure.
As I explained before, Hyeon-su's tumor
has seeped into his normal brain tissues, so the divide has been blurred.
That's why I think awake surgery will be helpful.
Based on my experience, it's highly likely that the tumor is affecting
the parts of his brain that perform important functions.
We'll wake him up briefly during the surgery
so that we can remove the tumor while checking his neurological symptoms.
He's still young,
so it's very important to minimize post-surgical neurological complications.
How long will the surgery take?
It all depends,
but it usually takes seven to eight hours.
And the amount of time the patient is kept awake can vary,
but I'd say it usually ranges from 30 minutes to an hour.
I'll quickly figure out brain functions around the tumor
so that we can minimize the time he has to stay awake for.
The experience can traumatize some patients.
Okay.
You have a day before the surgery,
so let us know if you're too scared or concerned.
Your condition matters the most.
I don't care.
I'll do as you say.
Hyeon-su, you can work again after you get this surgery.
Don't be so listless.
How can I go back to work?
Stop talking nonsense, Mom.
Why not? You can totally do it.
I heard you're a cop. It's very difficult to become a cop.
You even passed that difficult exam, so don't be like this.
Hyeon-su, you can get through this.
Doctor, I don't care whether or not he can go back to being a cop.
Please
just save my son.
Yes, we'll do our very best.
See you.
What happened with Sin Mi-jin's liver index?
Her ALT is over 300.
ALT: A TRANSAMINASE ENZYME
Her bilirubin is over 10 as well.
HIGH LEVELS OF BILIRUBIN CAUSES JAUNDICE
The rejection reaction was low. Why did it suddenly spike?
I actually ran into her in the hallway.
Well, I'll tell you later.
I don't feel
so bad. I feel all right.
You're not all right. These numbers tell me that you need
to check in right away for tests and treatment. It's not looking good.
Have you been taking your medication?
It doesn't look like you've been taking it.
To me, it seems like you've been off your medication for a while.
Did something happen?
If you continue to skip your medication,
your liver will get all ruined, and you may need another transplant.
The liver won't function. Let's get you checked in.
No,
I don't want to be hospitalized.
I just want to die, Doctor.
What are you talking about?
I worked very hard on your surgery. Please don't say that to me.
Let's get you admitted and get a CT scan of your liver.
Then, we'll run a biopsy while doing your ultrasound.
We'll also treat transplant rejection.
He's a nine-year-old boy, who complained of pain in his right abdomen,
so I took a CT and it showed appendicitis.
He has a fever and a high level of CRP.
Since when did it start to hurt?
Last night.
Oh, no. Let me take a look. All right.
I'll talk to the guardian.
Dr. Jang, please call Anesthesiology now.
Okay.
-Hello, Professor Ahn. -Hi.
Professor Ahn.
Can we watch a movie together next time?
Sure. Let's watch one together when we have time.
Bye.
What do you mean, "next time"?
Did you two meet in private?
Yes. I had dinner with Professor Ahn last weekend.
Just the two of us? Outside the hospital?
Yes. Just the two of us, outside the hospital.
In our own clothes, not in scrubs.
Did Professor Ahn ask you to have dinner with him?
Well, I asked him.
I asked him to buy me dinner.
My gosh. Professor Ahn is known to buy a lot of people meals.
He has a get-together with the nurses often, too.
-I thought it was different. -It was just us.
It doesn't matter if it was just with you or 20 people.
When people ask him to buy them a meal, he always does.
Dr. Bae. You know what?
I even watched a movie with Professor Ahn. I'm serious.
Goodness. You got me there!
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
I miss you, too.
I have a photo of you, so I can look at your photo.
I don't have a photo of you. Send me one.
Send me the best photo of you.
My goodness.
Who is it?
Who is it that you're so crazy about?
It's my mom.
Let's go. I'm hungry.
Give me a second. Let me change first.
Wait.
Jeong-won, you told the gang to meet us in the basement, right?
We're only taking my car.
You do it.
Why do I always have to do that?
Because you did it already.
Let's go. They said they'd meet us downstairs.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Do you think we're in Reply 1988? That's such an old trick.
What about you? Are you in Seoul Claypot?
Jeez.
Should I buy you Bluetooth earphones?
These are more comfortable. I just need to plug them in.
I don't have to use Bluetooth.
What? You just need to plug them in to listen to songs? How--
Hey, give them to me. Let me try them.
What? Did that prick get a new car?
Really? Where?
He really did. When did he get a new car?
Hey, hop in.
Oh, my. Showing off your car now?
Hey, he's just too old to show off things, right?
-Take the passenger seat, Song-hwa. -Thanks.
-I'm starving. Did you make a reservation? -Of course.
-Three orders of spicy pork and duck? -Yes. Let's go.
You want to listen to music?
Yes. We should listen to the song we'll practice this week.
This car smells nice. I think it's women's perfume.
He is dating someone.
I'm 100 percent it's hers.
He's been glued to his phone.
No, I'm not.
The fragrance of the perfume
and the scent of nature are mixed with a ratio of 5.5 and 4.5.
I don't think she's from the city.
She either works outside
or sweats a lot on the job.
-Really? -She either lives
in Gangwon Province or farms.
Do you have a dog's nose?
I was just making stuff up. Did you see his face?
One of these must be true.
Song-hwa, should we listen to music?
Yes, I want to listen to music,
but the Bluetooth isn't working. Have you tried it before?
-Hey, forget about the music. -Yes, I answer phone calls
-and listen to music! -Jun-wan, who is she?
-Was it a blind date? An arranged meeting? -No, I didn't go on a blind date.
It's not working.
Jun-wan, it's not working because it's connected to your phone.
Jun-wan, do I know her?
Hey, do we know this lady?
My friend, does she work at the hospital or did we know her from school?
Song-hwa, lower the volume.
No, don't. Can you increase the volume? Please. I'm begging you.
My gosh. Why isn't this connecting?
What?
MY LOVELY BIDULGI
Jun-wan.
Someone saved as Bidulgi is calling you.
Hey, eyes on the road. Will you kill us all?
Baby... I mean Jeong-won, can you take out my phone in the bag?
Take it out and decline the call.
I see. Your phone is in your bag, sweetie?
-Sure, sweetie. -Jeong-won, quickly. Hurry.
No, forget it. Jeong-won, leave it.
Hello.
-Your cell phone. -Hello. Hi.
Hey, we're here.
-There are a lot of empty parking spots. -Yes.
Where's your phone, sweetie?
Mom?
I'm out with my friends to have dinner.
Jun-wan has a girlfriend.
Her name is Bigulgi, as in "dove."
-Bi is a unique last name, right? -Bi as in "Rain"?
Okay.
-I found it. -Give me that.
Hello?
I'm Kim Jun-wan's friend, Lee Ik-jun.
He can't answer the phone right now.
If I may, please tell me your name.
I'll make sure I tell him--
I would like to do that, but he took the phone.
Yes.
Okay. Yes.
I'm starving. They serve nurungji, too, right?
Yes. They serve nurungji and perilla seed sujuebi.
Jun-wan, we'll be inside.
It's already getting chilly.
It's pretty chilly at night.
It's autumn now.
This chilly weather is making me miss my sister.
That never happened to me.
Even so, I think it's better that you tell her.
Really?
I really can't decide.
Of course, you should tell your mom. Why are you even thinking about it?
Don't make her feel like a fool.
You should tell her everything that everyone knows,
so she divorces your dad right away and lives a better life.
He's worried because of her health.
What if he tells her and she collapses again
from the shock? What then?
But at the same time,
I think she should know about it.
Are you and Song-hwa possessed by ghosts who'd starved for years?
I have three older brothers.
I'm really possessed by a ghost.
-Jeong-won, water, please. -Okay.
Ma'am.
I should tell her, so it gets rid of the slightest affection she has left.
Well, I don't think there's any ounce of affection left.
But then, I thought it would be better to tell her
to get a divorce since that lady is pregnant,
so that Mom could live freely without any stress.
But then again,
they are already strangers.
And what if her health gets worse because of the shock?
I really don't want that.
But wouldn't it better to tell her?
I agree.
What about you?
Tell her or don't?
You should tell her.
What should I do?
-Just tell her. -Tell her.
Hey, Song-hwa. What do you think?
Well,
I agree. I think you should tell her.
Really?
Yes. I think she should know.
Let her down gently.
Make sure to comfort her before and after telling the news.
Okay. I'll tell her.
We've been telling you that for ten minutes. You never take our advice.
If you are going to do this, you should just ask her for the advice.
Go drink some tea separately.
We're just fillers here.
The owner personally dug up the arrowroot,
and it's on us, too.
Does anyone want it?
Okay. Please wait.
I'll bring it over.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
Hey, you did well.
Your mother is okay, right?
Yes, she took the news better than I expected.
At first, she was really shocked.
She didn't say a word for ten minutes, so I was worried.
But I comforted her afterward. She's divorcing him.
She said she wanted to emigrate because she's humiliated.
It's all right. You guys managed to get through such an unpleasant incident.
You weren't in your office, so I knew you'd be here.
You should have at least dried your hair. Goodness.
I guess you couldn't wait to tell Song-hwa.
You haven't seen him yet, right? But I guess he told you right away.
What are you talking about?
We were just talking about how he told her about the pregnancy.
Why? Is something going on?
Seok-hyeong's father got admitted to the hospital last night.
At our hospital. He's in VIP Room Three.
Is he sick?
No, he's faking it.
He kept getting summoned by the court, so I think he got admitted here.
He didn't request me as his physician.
I think his secretary directly called the hospital director.
Hey. Visit him later.
I'll go with you later.
It's time to meet the outpatients.
Jun-wan. Do not treat Chairman Yang.
Okay?
Yes.
She took the morning medication
because Nurse Song literally begged her to take it.
But I don't know if she'll take it tonight.
Judging from this morning, I doubt that she will.
I get that she hates her husband, but if her health deteriorates,
it's her loss.
I can somewhat understand her.
It doesn't matter if her husband donated his liver. He cheated on her.
Would you want to live with the liver of a cheating husband?
She probably hates her husband and her new liver. I'd hate everything.
Even so, she has to take her medication.
Did you sleep well?
Yes, I slept well. It's been a while since I had good sleep.
I'm glad to hear that. You must exercise a lot.
Try to walk the hallways whenever you can.
Yes. I went back and forth ten times yesterday.
I think I can even participate in the Olympics.
Doctor, are you married?
Pardon?
Why do you ask? Are you going to set him up?
Yes, I have a younger sister.
I want to set you up with my sister.
My goodness. Oh, my.
I'm married. And I have a son, too.
I should've known. Women wouldn't have let a fine man like you alone.
No, I married late.
I wonder what lucky woman married you.
It's a pity you are married.
Seriously, you're my type.
My gosh.
Goodness, you're flattering me. Your husband is here.
I mean, look at you, Doctor. You're handsome.
And I bet you got good grades.
You're so amiable and great at your job.
You're totally my type. My gosh.
But my husband is a slug.
But he has such a likable face and a good build.
He does, doesn't he?
He runs a jewelry shop.
He has a shop in Ssangmun-dong. It's called Phoenix Shop.
I see.
I picked it up on my way here.
My gosh, no. I should get going.
Doctor, it's coming from the bottom of my heart.
I want to give you everything I have. I am so grateful for your help.
My son won this at a contest.
No, I can't accept this. If I do, I'll be in trouble.
-I'm serious. -Doctor, it's from my heart.
You saved my wife. I am so thankful for it.
-Please accept this. -Wait.
I'll be back later.
-Bye. -Doctor.
-What? -Rest up, ma'am.
I guess doctors can't accept gifts these days.
How is the baby? The baby is active, right?
-Yes. -It's been 24 weeks now.
All right. The black part on the scan is the amniotic fluid.
When you look at the scan...
-I'm sorry. -It's okay.
Hello. What is this about?
I had a bad feeling about it in case--
Okay. I got it.
I'm sorry.
I guess they don't use that anymore these days.
Hello, Ms. Sin.
Hello.
Did you eat?
She ate very little.
Why?
You should eat a lot.
Hospital meals are expensive.
You should eat a lot. That's a waste of money if you don't.
Doctor,
I'm sure you heard about my situation.
That my husband cheated on me.
Yes.
Because he's having an affair with another woman,
he felt guilty, so that's why he gave me a piece of his liver.
To feel better about himself.
I'm sure that's not true.
Your husband took very good care of you when you got the transplant surgery.
He held my hand and cried a lot at night.
You're very naive.
It sounds like you lived a good life without undergoing any hardships.
How do you feel today?
Luckily, the CT scan shows the biliary duct isn't stretched.
You didn't take any immunosuppressants,
so your body had acute transplantation rejection.
We'll treat it with a high dose of steroids.
And once you start taking immunosuppressants,
you'll recover, so don't worry.
I'm not worried, Doctor.
I don't want
to live with his liver.
Goodness.
I had no idea that my husband was cheating on me with a younger woman.
I even made a deep bow to him.
Gosh.
Doctor, he gave me a piece of his liver,
so he wouldn't feel guilty about the affair.
He was just sorry.
I'm sure that's not true. Your husband can't be that evil.
Doctor, everything in this world seems beautiful and kind to you, right?
People who were raised by rich parents and had a good education
will never understand me.
I don't need you to understand me.
And what's the point if you do?
-Help me go to the restroom. -Okay.
WOMEN'S TOILET
Excuse me.
Yes?
-This is good. -Yes.
Are there reporters outside?
No.
Mr. Jeong,
if there's a nurse outside, ask her to give me an IV drip or something.
It can be a vitamin IV drip or just saline.
People could barge in here out of the blue.
This person here told me not to let anyone inside.
I even got permission from the hospital director--
Hey.
So this is how he addresses me.
My name
is this person.
You really can't address me properly?
Why don't you call me by my name, Tae-yeon?
I'll be outside.
And I'll tell the nurse that you want an IV drip.
-Okay. -Unbelievable.
Is he looking down on me?
I'll talk to him.
He’s new, so he doesn’t know how to act.
No, it’s because he knows exactly how to act.
When he started his job,
-it was obvious that I'm your wife. -Yes.
But from the first day he started, he's been looking at me suspiciously.
"I see. You're the mistress people talked about."
That's what he was saying with his eyes.
You can come back later.
What are you--
You crazy bitch!
I should ask you that.
Are you out of your mind?
How dare you come here?
How dare you come to the hospital your son works?
Aren't you even embarrassed?
Or humiliated?
Did you come to the hospital your son works with your mistress
to show people that you're living such a wonderful life?
-Hey! -You be quiet.
Shut up.
Leave now.
Stop humiliating my son.
Leave the hospital now, you asshole!
Mom, let's go.
Why did you come here?
Let's just go. Please?
Let go. Let go of me.
You want me to divorce you? Never.
Taking care of my health is hard enough,
so up until yesterday, I was going to divorce you.
But I'm disgusted by your behaviors,
so I will never divorce you.
Before you or I die,
I will not divorce you.
You, quit dreaming. You will be his cohabitant for the rest of his life.
And so will be your child.
Gosh.
Cottonoid.
Doctor, let's wake up the patient.
Okay.
ELAPSED TIME
Can you lift your arm?
Good job. All right. Squeeze my hand.
He squeezed my hand.
His facial muscles moved.
Let's do a language test now.
Okay.
How are you holding up? Are you all right?
Yes. I'm okay.
Where do you live, Hyeon-su?
Sadang-dong, Dongjak-gu.
Do you have any siblings?
I have a younger sister.
You're doing great.
What do you do? What's your job?
Well...
What do you do?
I...
Keep talking to him.
Hyeon-su, aren't you a police officer?
-Yes. -Why did you want to be a police officer?
It had been my dream
ever since I was seven years old.
But
I can't be one anymore
because I had this surgery.
Hyeon-su, it's almost over. I'll wrap it up quickly.
Can you say a few more things?
You can go back to work.
Or you can take up another job. It's not too late.
I'm too old
to get another job.
When I was 29 years old,
I also got sick.
I suddenly got sick when I was 29,
so I left the military.
What was it?
What was your illness?
The ligament in the cervical spine stiffened like a bone.
It was paralyzed during my training.
What did you do?
What do you think?
I'm living a great life now.
Right.
You became a doctor.
You can do it, too, Hyeon-su.
Hyeon-su, once you recover from the surgery,
you'll be able to start anything you want.
Okay.
Thank you.
Chi-hong, I wanted the patient to talk.
You went on about yourself.
I'm sorry.
Hyeon-su.
Good job. It's done.
I'll remove the tumor as safely as I can.
Don't worry too much. And get some sleep.
Okay. Thank you.
Good job.
Doctor.
Yes?
Good luck.
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
Daddy will be a little late tonight.
Dad, I baked cookies today.
Really? How many did you bake?
Three. But I ate two of the cookies.
And I'll give one to Mo-ne.
My gosh, Mo-ne will be over the moon! Goodness.
U-ju, make sure to brush your teeth.
And I'll see you in your dream. Goodnight.
Night.
Okay.
I see.
Yes. Right.
Yes, it went well.
Yes.
-My gosh, okay. -Hello.
Hello.
Where's your caregiver?
My children stayed with me today.
She went out to see them off.
You didn't take your medication yet.
Ms. Sin.
Your husband made a huge decision by donating a piece of his liver.
It doesn't matter when he had the affair and why he decided to donate the liver.
What he did was incredible.
He risked his life to donate a piece of his liver to you.
You should just
let your husband live his life without you.
You should live your own life now.
I got divorced because my wife cheated on me.
I worked at the hospital all day,
and looked after my son alone. I really lived hard, but...
She had an affair with her friend's husband.
At first,
it hurt my pride.
And
I was embarrassed to face other people.
I wondered why my life was getting so difficult. It was really tough.
But all of a sudden, one day,
I realized how much time I was wasting.
Wasting my life away like this
because of what she did to me was doing a disservice to myself.
My goodness. You spent a long time being sick.
It was so hard to get your health back.
For the sake of you, not your husband, please take the medication.
Give it your all
to make a full recovery.
It's your life, after all. Right?
Excuse me.
Can you bring me a cup of water?
Thank you.
Who is it?
It's Chi-hong.
Come in.
You knew? When?
Let's see.
The day when you bombed the EVD.
That's when I found out.
I checked your record.
You got discharged as a captain due to OPLL.
I saw it in your record, so I went digging.
You don't have any problems to live a normal life.
It's a treatable condition with medication or exercise when caught early in life.
However, that doesn't apply to sports or careers
that require you to move your body rigorously.
If you hurt your neck, it may lead to tetraplegia.
I really didn't have any problems with my condition so far.
Perhaps, it was because I was very nervous that day.
During the surgery, my legs went numb.
And I had a tingling sensation in my neck, too.
Feeling that pain all over again after several years
drove me crazy.
Why didn't you tell me?
It's not a serious condition.
I was going to tell you,
but I never had the right timing.
Also, it hurt my pride a bit
because everyone was so curious about it.
Where does that pride come from?
That's some pride you have.
Should I tell you my medical conditions?
Professor Chae.
Why didn't you say anything on the day of the surgery?
I told you I found out after the surgery.
I mean, I messed up a lot.
But you didn't say anything in the OR.
You didn't scold me either.
I have faith in you.
You are always diligent.
And you study and read up on the patients a lot.
So I couldn't understand it.
And I thought there must have been a reason for it.
So I decided to scold you later
and look into this first.
Why? Are you disappointed that I didn't scold you?
No.
If you
scolded me that day,
I wouldn't have been here today.
You should have bought me some drinks, then.
I was going to.
When I went to the office to take you out, you had already left to get drinks.
Oh, right. Darn it.
I'm sorry.
I know that drinking with your colleagues
is more comfortable than with me.
Anyway, we'll settle that I bought you drinks.
Okay.
I'm dying for a drink, but I happen to be working the night shift today.
Seon-bin took your shift.
She'll be on call tonight for you.
She said you shouldn't think about anything else
and should just go drink a lot tonight.
My goodness.
And she told you not to get the wrong idea.
She said she doesn't have feelings for you.
What are you doing?
Go change now.
Okay.
Yes, I'm heading out, too.
Okay.
Is it an emergency patient?
Let's go. We'll talk on our way.
No, Professor Ahn. We don't have a patient.
Buy me dinner, please.
Buy me dinner this weekend, Professor Ahn.
Sure. Let's have a get-together with everyone.
Just the two of us.
Just the two of us, outside the hospital
and not in these scrubs, but in our personal clothes.
You were always
My longing for you
Gets bigger every single day
The pain of not seeing you always Leaves me with fresh wounds
But you're going your way
If you want, I can wait for you
Thank you.
I haven't changed at all
It was you who had changed
So you can
-Come back to me -Thank you.
If you're blaming me for my mistake
You can still blame me after you come back
We still have time for that
I will be the same guy
That you left
I don't want to comfort myself
With false hope anymore
For the first time, I learned What it means to be in love
I'm going to get you back
I just realized that the purpose
Of my life had been you all along
TRY THIS COOKIE, DAD!
If you want, I can wait for you
I haven't changed at all
It was you who had changed
So you can come back to me
If you're blaming me for my mistake
You can still blame me after you come back
We still have time for that
I will be the same guy
That you left
I don't want to comfort myself
With false hope anymore
For the first time, I learned What it means to be in love
I'm going to get you back
I just realized that the purpose
Of my life had been you all along
-Hello. -Hi.
Where are you going?
On a date with my wife.
Didn't you say you've been married for over ten years?
Yes, this year is our tenth year together.
We got a rent-free apartment with just our deposit on our tenth year.
We made reservations to take our parents on a trip.
People might think I beat you up or something.
I won't kill you.
You can kill me with your words alone.
I'll be out for a while.
What? This wasn't going up?
I will help you go up.
Bye.
You're here.
-Hello? -Hi, this is your landlady.
Hello. Have you been well?
Yes. I just wanted to remind you that you forgot to wire the rent this month.
-Pardon? -Your monthly rent.
You forgot to wire me the rent.
My gosh, what are you talking about? I signed a deposit-based apartment.
A 2-year contract and 200-million-won...
I don't follow.
Deposit-based apartment?
You signed a contract with monthly rents.
The deposit was 20 million won, and the rent was 900,000 won.
What...
What are you talking about?
My son is sensitive and delicate.
It'd be nice if he has a reliable life partner.
Jeong-won, you can tell her now.
I think it will be around the end of December. Will that work?
My goodness, what's wrong with Jeong-won?
What are you doing? Focus.
I'm bad at my job because I'm dumb.
There's nothing I can do.
-Dr. Chu. -My professor
is the biggest slug ever.
Will you kill both the mother and the baby?
I'll go tell the slug tomorrow morning.
I'll put an end to this.
Have you gone mad? Why are you quitting? I won't let you quit.
I think I'm messing up my life.
My existence is harming others.
I barely managed to stop him from talking to the TV station.
Professor, I need to talk to you.
-Min-ha isn't here yet? -Did the resident who went MIA come back?
MIA since yesterday morning, no word for two days.
Be nice to the resident.
It must've been hard on the resident.
I'll come back later.
Song-hwa is beautiful and smart.
-What about Jun-wan? -He has plans.
You're going crazy about this girl.
Who are you dating? I'd love to meet her.
So, she is your girlfriend.
I'll tell you everything another time.
Even I felt the warm fuzzies.
