01x01 - Episode 1

Post by bunniefuu »

The day when everyone was giddy with joy...

was the day of my funeral.

My man...

who was coming very slowly

from so far awayto k*ll me.

I assume you are ready,
so I will escort you now.

I look pretty, right?

I have been waiting for the day
that I will go on a beautiful road

dressed prettily with my handsome man.

I would not have dreamed that this
day would be the day I am sadly sold off,

holding my handsome man's hand.

You are going to an important place.

How could you say that
you are being sold off?

Then shall I say I am going
to the place of my death?

Since it is a place that
I do not want to go to,

I consider all of it my grave.

You have said that the azaleas

bloom both in this and the afterlife?

I have wanted to bloom
with you in both life and death,

but since I cannot be
with you even in this life,

I shall return it to you.

The carriage will stop tonight
at a mountain near Jeodong.

Hide yourself in the cave. I
will come to escort you away.

Have you forgotten where
it is that I am going to?

If I disappear, they will
k*ll both of our families.

Our nation will be destroyed,
and there will be a bloodbath.

Let the people who run our
nation worry about that, and

we should just worry about the two of us.

Also,

this ring...

I will make sure to return this to you.

Oh Hyun!

Oh Hyun!

Let go!

Seol Hui...

No...

Oh Hyun! No!

From the arrows raining
down instead of sunlight,

the morning of my man
had its light extinguished.

Oh Hyun...

No...

Oh Hyun!

And thus, his w*r ended,

and my w*r... got started.

You who stole my man's morning...

you, too, shall never see the morning.

[Eonju Hospital]

And so? What happened after that?

What do you mean, what happened? She died.

That's it? The end?

Obviously, that's the end.
What else would there be?

I don't know. I feel uncomfortable
when it doesn't have a happy ending.

The number of people that
those two k*lled was dozens.

What good did they do that
they should have a happy ending?

In the eyes of God, who lovingly looks
upon all of his creation as his children,

they were just sinners.

Then they must have
received punishment, right?

They received severe punishment, all right.

The tribute lady ended up
keep repeatedly losing the life

of someone dear to her and
committing suicide in this life.

And the warrior was bound
to the afterlife as Kokdu.

And so, their punishment was that

they could never meet.

What's wrong? You don't like the story?

What is a Kokdu?

How could you not even know
what Kokdu is when you're a doctor?

I mean... the thing is...

I've only worked on technical skills. My
knowledge of humanities is a bit weak.

When you die,

the road to the afterlife appears.

But you don't know where you need to go

since it is the first time you are dead.

When that happens, Kokdu comes to guide you

so that you don't get lost
and can take the right path.

Kind of like a Grim Reaper?

How could you dare compare
such a lowly being to Kokdu?

There is nothing like
that in the afterlife.

There is only Kokdu.

So, is Kokdu somewhat good-looking?

Why are you asking about his looks?

According to what you're telling me, I will
see him at least once in the afterlife.

If that's the case, I might
as well get the most out of it.

It would be better if he's handsome!

What if he's handsome? What?

You want to seduce him
and have him go out with you?

Oh! Good idea!

Aigoo, what are you saying!

Gosh. You said that this king or
god is supposed to be quite amazing.

Imagine having a god
like that as your lover.

How great of a support would he be!

What? Support?

How dare you! Gosh, seriously!

Yeah,

it is because you have
someone who is backing you

that you are holding on like this,
even though you're a m*rder*r!

What do you mean by a m*rder*r?

You are going too far with your words.

Going too far?

Even though you k*lled my father!

How is there such a
shameless b*tch like this?

And so, I told you for sure then!

On the outside, he looks perfectly fine,

but the patient broke his neckbone. So it's
dangerous if you press down on his vertebrae.

I told you to do the surgery here

because he must not move!

But the one who still decided
to take the patient to Seoul was-

Look at this girl. Look at her!

It's still my fault, isn't it?

You're not even Sa Gye Jeol, but Han Gye Jeol♪. (In Korean, Sa
Gye Jeol means four seasons, and Han Gye Jeol means one season.)

I heard you graduated
from Yeon Yi University.

How could I listen to a doctor who
graduated from a shitty school like you,

and have my father get his
surgery in a place like this!

And so I tirelessly tried
to convince you otherwise.

I even begged on my knees.

Don't you remember that? I
even blocked the ambulance!

You should have done more to stop me.

You should have stopped me even
if you had to jump in front of the car!

You should have stopped me
even by offering up your entire soul!

You say you're a doctor, yet you let a patient
leave knowing full well that he'll die?

Is that how your school taught you?

So you even filed a lawsuit against me!

I have nothing to say to you anymore.

Let's just do it by the law.

The law? You, seriously!

Let go!

You won't let go? Let go!

What have you got backing
you that you're acting like this?

Who's backing you up?

I am my own supporter! So what!

Ten days ago, you
smashed a bottle on my head.

Five days ago, you scratched me.

Three days ago, you threw coffee at me.

I have so many pieces
of evidence on my body.

I feel very confident.

I will gather all the evidence and sue you,

so be prepared!

How dare you say you'll file a lawsuit!

The lawsuit, my foot.

Apologize to her quickly, and wrap it up.

How can I apologize when
I didn't do anything wrong?

There is a reason why that
woman is doing all that crazy sh*t.

She feels guilty because she let her
father die as a result of her stubbornness.

And her younger siblings are blaming her.

She's afraid she'd lose out on inheritance.

She needs an apology, so
she can insist she is right.

I will do whatever it takes to prepare a
meeting, so kneel and apologize to her.

You do know that it becomes medical
malpractice the moment you apologize, right?

If they keep insisting on filing a lawsuit,

then I have to take all the blame.

I can't!

Gosh, seriously.

Doctor Han Gye Jeol.

You know that things are difficult for
me because of that nuisance, right?

I know.

I know very well that you are worried because
you're behind on the construction costs.

The reason I received funds
from Pilsung Bio was all for that!

That's why when others see one patient,

I saw two or three patients to do
what I could to boost the profit margin.

There's no other doctor like me anywhere.

You should really hold onto me.

What good is that?

Ten doctors cannot defeat one Lord.

Lord?

But Director, weren't you Buddhist?

Do you know how many lanterns I
made for you for Buddha's birthday?

Not that Lord, but the construction superintendent♪!
(The last word sounds like "Lord" in Korean)

She is the construction
superintendent of that building.

What?

She says if I just fire you, Dr. Han,

she says she will keep her mouth shut even if
we're behind in payments for several years.

She says she won't even take an interest!

Then how much money is that?

Do you think I can throw away all
that money and hold onto you, Dr. Han?

I mean, why are you
getting so scared like that?

A-Are you okay?

Will this be enough?

O-Or should I get on my knees even harder?

- Dr. Han Gye Jeol...
- Just let me see the Superintendent.

Then I will do whatever
it takes to appease her.

Okay!

All right, strike while the
iron is still hot, as they say.

I will bring her right away.

- Don't go anywhere, but wait here!
- Yes, sir.

- Wait here!
- Yes, sir!

Okay.

[Emergency Medical Center]

Damn it.

[Han Gye Jeol]

[Emergency Medical
Service, Doctor Han Gye Jeol]

I'm sorry, Dr. Han.

The Superintendent is just too stubborn...

So you should have just let her slap
you around a little. Why use violence-

Direc-

- Director.
- I know.

I know it's unfair to you.

I also know this makes no sense.

But this world...

is like that.

Let's proceed in a way
that's good for everyone.

In a way, that's good for
everyone... yeah, that's great.

For hitting me, I'll
file a suit for as*ault.

For firing me, I'll file a
suit for ill*gal termination.

I will do what's good for me as well.

You do what you like.

You've always had the guts, Dr. Han.

But Dr. Han,

do you know what someone like you
with no prestigious educational background,

connections, or powerful
supporters, shouldn't have?

W-Well...

- guts?
- Wrong.

Enemies.

You shouldn't have any enemies.

So let's think about it.

It's difficult to become successful,

but it's very easy to ruin someone.

What if a rumor about stabbing someone
at the hospital as a fellow spreads?

Do you think you could work
as a doctor somewhere else?

I will...

write you a nice recommendation letter.

There must be a hospital
you desperately want to go!

Somewhere out there.

[Emergency Medical Center]

[Emergency Medical Center]

Must I be drenched in the rain after being
slapped in the face and stabbed in the back?

If I'll get picked on like this,
why not get picked for the lottery?

Whether it's money or a supporter,

or even if it's a god...

it would be fair if you give me at
least one thing, the big man upstairs!

Who am I talking to...

Mom, save me!

Hey!

It's just a dog dream♪.
(Euphemism for meaningless dream)

Come on, why?

Why is it a meaningless dream again?

You said that a dog appeared,
so obviously, it's a dog dream.

The focus of this dream was
not on the dog but on a hero.

Geez, how are you so bad at
assessing the focus of the dream?

Will you be able to
catch the culprit like that?

Are you worth your pay?

Are you that good at earning your
worth that you are mooching off of me?

You know that I am looking for a job.

I will leave very soon.

Just don't cry saying
you miss me when I leave.

I feel like I'm going to cry right now.

Oh, Han Cheol...

You like Noona that much?

Look at what you're doing.

How could I not cry when my
only noona has gone crazy?

Are you an elementary school student?

Even they don't draw like this these days.

This? This is a composite sketch.

A composite sketch...

That guy. He looks just like this.

Here. Take a look at it and find him.

I can't find him.

Come on, why not?

You got a composite sketch.
So why can't you find him?

The level of South
Korea's police officers...

Hey, even American
police can't find him with this.

Then can't you look through
the CCTVs in the area for me?

You could do at least that for me.

I am a public servant, not someone
to satisfy your personal desires.

You do know that your salary is
being paid out of my tax money, right?

Then why don't you raise my salary, then?

- It didn't work, I see.
- Of course, it didn't.

Wake up from your dog dream
quickly. It's becoming a nuisance for me.

Look here.

Look at it. Is it still a dream?

This piece of evidence was left behind
where that guy was. So is it still a dream?

Do you think you're
Snow White or something?

Talking about leaving things behind?

You mean Cinderella.

What?

The one who keeps leaving things behind,
like a glass slipper, is Cinderella.

Snow White is about the poisoned apple!

Have you read more than this
number of books in your life?

Wow, so you'll look down on me like this?

I guess you don't need my help then.

I like your independent attitude.

Gosh, you're so strong.

I'll read all the books.

You just find that guy for me.

Put your arms down.

Why are you looking for him so much?

Have you fallen for him so soon?

The thing is...

I called Mom at that moment.

I know it's ridiculous,

but I just felt like Mom sent him to me.

So, I wanted to meet him and ask him

if he knows our mom.

I can't guarantee that I'll find him.

You know that, right?

Thanks, younger brother!

Gosh.

What are you doing?

It's my talisman.

I feel like everything is
going to work out fine.

♫ Hot latte, latte ♫

[Job Application]

Hello, I am Han Gye Jeol, applying
for a fellowship position for the

Emergency Medical Service department.

I applied, so I could work
under renowned professors,

working hard to research
and advance medical services.

[Rejected]

[Job Application]

I will do my best.

[Rejected]

♫ What you said about me
being the only one for you ♫

I'm late! I'm late, I'm late!

♫ The moment you and I met ♫

Oh, no! I'm sorry.

- Geez!
- I'm sorry!

Gosh!

[Rejected]

♫ Loving you ♫

It's that guy...

Do Jin Woo?

Nice name.

[Job Application]

Dr. Han Gye Jeol?

Yes, my name is Han Gye Jeol.

Are we picking a soldier?

Why are you introducing
yourself as if in the military?

Dr. Han, you finished your fellowship at
another hospital, but you are reapplying?

Yes,

I applied so that I could work
under renowned professors,

[Yeon Yi University] working hard to
research and advance medical services.

Look here.

There is a spelling mistake in your resume.

What is Yeon Yi University?

You probably meant Yeon Hee University.

No.

Yeon Yi University is correct.

Yeon Yi University?

Is there a university like that?

You know the place that closed
down, and everything hit the fan.

Hey, I can hear everything, you know!

Do you need a name
to put in front of people?

Yes,

I am trying to clean up
my educational background.

Are you embarrassed of your alma mater?

No, I am a skilled doctor,

and I am grateful that they have
helped me to reach this level.

Then why?

I was recently sued.

A grandpa got in a car accident

but I saw a fracture of his
c-spine when we took a CT scan,

so I recommended that he get surgery.

The daughter of the man accused me of
trying to give excessive medical treatment

because I graduated from a provincial
university and insisted on taking him to Seoul.

I tried to stop her and
convince her otherwise,

but in the end, he died

on the way to Seoul.

So, did you feel that it was unfair?

Yes.

I thought it was unfair that a person died
because of my educational background

could not keep up with my skills.

If I come here, no one would
die from not being able to trust me.

So you need a name on your
resume so that you can save patients...

But people like that always end up k*lling
patients while trying to keep that name.

Are you confident you won't be like that?

So, you are saying that
you were sued, right?

You didn't write any of that here.

- You know?
- Excuse me?

If he was going to drop me like that, he
should have just dropped me on the stairs.

It's like he's giving me illness
and medicine at the same time.

Oh, no!

I should have returned this to him.

Should I go see him again
with this as an excuse?

Hello?

This is Professor Do Jin
Woo from Pilsung Hospital.

P-Professor?

Can I see you for a moment right now?

Yes, of course! I'll be there.

Gosh,

it's like you fell in the water.

You look like a country chicken at other times,
but you look like a boiled chicken today.

Hello.

I am sorry to call you so suddenly.

But what is it regarding?

Do you have time next week, Dr. Han?

Me?

Well... I...

I-I mean...

I'm free anytime.

I'll match your schedule.

Why would you match my schedule
when you're coming into work, Dr. Han?

Oh. I-I'm sorry.

Coming in to work?

I'd like for you to start at
your earliest convenience.

I was rejected, though, no?

I never said anything like that.

You humiliated me like that,
so obviously, I didn't make it.

Oh, I did that intentionally
so that I could hire you.

They'd make a fuss saying it
was favoritism if I didn't do that.

You did that intentionally?

Why would you do that, Professor?

You said that you
needed a name to put forth.

You need a name to put forth, but you don't like to be a parachute♪?
(Granted a position from special favor through top-level connections)

Parachute?

Yes.

You look handsome.

You were rejected, weren't you?

Give me one, too.

You still want alcohol after making friends
with all the neighborhood dogs over one beer?

Hey,

do you know that dogs keep coming
over to see you and pooping here?

I guess I shouldn't be
friends with those dogs.

I'll end my friendship with them.

Hey, are you like this
because of Pilsung Hospital?

Hey, just forget them!

Just say you won't go. Geez!

They said to come in for work.

Should I really not go?

Are they crazy? Why would they hire you?

Supposedly, I'm a parachute!

Geez, these guys hired her and
told her she's a parachute hire?

Are you crazy? What's so good
about it that you're laughing?

We were always pushed around
with nothing to show for all our life.

Honestly, did anyone take
our sides besides Mom?

- No one.
- But...

when he said I was a parachute hire,

it felt really reassuring to hear
that someone sided with me.

It felt like I'd survive even if I
was pushed off from the sky.

I guess that's why everyone
talks about being a parachute hire.

But who'd give you that position?
You don't know anyone there.

This guy.

He was sitting there as an interviewer.

The Cinderella dude?

He's a real person and not a dog dream?

His name is Do Jin Woo. He's a professor
of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery.

He's probably in his mid-thirties?

So the guy who saved you also hired you?

Isn't that neat?

Hey, I guess this is what
you call a fated connection.

What do I do, Cheol? I feel
like I'm going to get married!

Wow, it really is fascinating...

How could you get a stalker on you?

- Stalker?
- It means he's been watching you all this time.

That's what you call stalking.

Geez, it's just interest. Why would
you go so far as to call it stalking...

Good for you.

Wake up, girl! Stalking
is a crime. You got that?

We shall see about that,

whether it's love or crime.

Do you think being a parachute is easy?

Rumors spread, so you become an outcast.

Your true skills are exposed, so the person
who gave you the position gets criticized.

It doesn't have a happy ending.

Just tell them you won't go.

Hey,

do you really think I was a parachute hire?

What power does a young
professor like him have to hire me?

He's just bluffing, so he can
make a good impression on me.

Gosh, so cute.

Surprise!

Jung Won.

Oppa.

Why did you come without saying anything?

Why are you so late? Do you do
all the hospital work by yourself?

You must be hungry. Let's eat.

Jung Won, today, I...

did a hiring interview.

You didn't...

I hired Dr. Han Gye Jeol.

Do you really need to go that far?

You know that I don't have any other way.

[Job Application]

[Chairman Kim Pil Soo]

Hello, Professor!

I will work hard!

What's the point of working
hard? You should do a good job.

- I will a good job.
- You don't have to.

Do Jin Woo has your back.
What's there to worry about?

Am I really a parachute hire?

Eonju Hospital?

- I heard of this before.
- Oh, yes...

It is a hospital that is
backed by the city of Eonju.

They recently built a new
building and hired good doctors.

Oh, Ji Soo Hyun.

Our hospital's Dr. Ji Soo Hyun went there.

Y-Yes.

Ji Soo Hyun graduated
from Hankuk University.

How come we ended up
with people like you... Geez...

At least do a good briefing.

Yes.

It is a 73-year-old male patient.

He was admitted after experiencing
abdominal pain last night.

After admission, he started shivering
and vomiting before losing consciousness.

So we quickly had him
intubated and put on a ventilator.

He has acute cholecystitis, GB
perforation, and even septic shock.

Why is he still in the ER!

Well, the thing is...

The surgery dept. said he's an internal medicine patient
since his pulmonary thrombosis should be treated first.

But the internal medicine dept. asked the surgery
dept. to take him since his gall bladder has erupted.

So you just neglected the patient?

If he dies like this, will you
take responsibility, Dr. Han?

Dr. Han just started today, so
she doesn't know the situation.

Why are you stepping in?
Who are you to intervene?

You said you would work hard.

You said you would do a good job.

Whether you push the surgery
dept. or convince the internal medicine,

you should do something immediately!

Yes...

Shall I try it?

This is the ER matter.

Please stay out of this,
Strategic Planning Director.

I was thinking of doing
something about the ER system,

where people keep pushing
things off to one another.

First,

since treating pulmonary
thrombosis comes first,

let's have the internal
medicine take him first.

Looking out for your people, huh?

Talk about pulling all the stops.

This is Do Jin Woo from HPB Surgery Dept.

Yes. Please transport
a patient from the ER.

His people?

I am his...

Han Gye Jeol.

It's been a while.

There's a reason why it
has been a long time no see.

Our relationship doesn't call for
eating at the same table like this.

You should quit this hospital right away.

Are you going straight to declaring w*r?

It's nice to see how you haven't
changed one bit, Tae Jung Won.

This is Pilsung Hospital.

One of South Korea's top
three. And the top of those three.

Why did a crow-tit like you come to a place
where the storks are?♪ (Famous Korean idiom)

You should leave before your groin tears. ♪
(Famous Korean idiom)

Do birds walk? No, they fly.

Why worry about their
groins when they have wings?

Those wings are not Professor Do, right?

Oh, my. Did the news spread all the way to
Pilsung Hospital in Yeongpo where you work?

It's good that I don't have to
explain everything to you then.

If you know already, then
stop worrying about my groin.

You are the same as ever.

How do you stay in your delusions
and drive your life into ruins?

It's not something you should say
since you led the way to my ruin.

So I am telling you that I
will help you get out of that.

Don't mistake Professor Do for
being nice to you as an act of kindness.

In this world, there is no
kindness without a price.

You'll get a stomach ache if you eat
whatever just because you are hungry.

If he's nice to you, it's kindness.

But if he's nice to me, it's a scheme?

Also, I am not that hungry!

Thank you for the food.

Do you want me to tell you
why Professor Do hired you?

- What?
- Dr. Han.

Oh, Jung Won.

You two were in the
middle of a conversation?

- O-Oh, no-
- Dr. Han seems to be having a hard time.

She says she needs a lot of comforting.

I told you we are close since we met
through medical volunteer work, right?

Hey, we're close?

- Did you do that because we were close?
- Hey, let's just grab a drink.

Dr. Han.

If it's okay, how about a drink with me?

M-Me?

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

- Let's all go together.
- No, no.

I have to talk to Dr. Han
about something alone.

Just...

the two of us?

Here. Welcome.

Thank you.

Why did you become a doctor, Dr. Han?

Excuse me?

I guess my question
came out of nowhere, right?

Oh. Oh, no. Not at all.

Well, it was a question I got a lot
when I was a freshman in college.

It's a bit refreshing to hear it now.

Well, you don't have to
answer it if it's a difficult question.

My mom passed away in a car accident.

And I was there when it happened.

Mom!

I couldn't do anything.

At least if I knew how to do CPR...

my mom would have survived.

It is definitely

not your fault, Dr. Han.

I know.

What could a 10-year-old
do in that situation?

But still, the powerlessness from having
someone die because I couldn't do anything...

I never want to feel that again.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have
asked such a question.

Oh, no. It's okay.

Since I can talk about it like this,

I guess I must be less sorry toward my mom.

So, that's why I wanted to ask you this...

Do you know my mom by chance?

Should I...

know her?

As expected...

it's not like that, right?

You didn't come because
my mom sent you, right?

Gosh. Oh, I-I...

I must have gone crazy for a moment there.

Oh, also, this...

This...

This...

I'll return this to you.

What...

is this?

You left it behind when you saved me.

I'm sorry. I should've
returned it to you sooner.

Saved you?

Who? Me?

That day, on the stairs.

You're the one who
saved my life, Professor.

It was raining a lot,

and a dog passed by as well.

Oh! Dogs...

I hate dogs.

I got bitten badly a long time ago.

By chance, are you a twin?

No, no.

Never. That would
definitely not be the case.

I'm pretty sure it was you, Professor...

Then who was it then?

Then, what was it that
you wanted to tell me?

Oh, my!

I guess...

my body was built first

so that I could

carry this guy on my back.

I'm the one who lost my mom.
Why did he chug alcohol like that?

Professor.

Professor, wake up.
Professor, is this the right place?

Professor, wake up.

What is this... Is he Cinderella?

Why is he constantly dropping things...

I should pick it up for him.

Is this his mother?

He's so cute...

He looks just like his mother.

Do I look like her?

Oh, I-I'm sorry.

It fell, and I saw it when I picked it up.

No, I'm sorrier.

I don't usually get drunk like this.

Who gets drunk because they want to?

You get drunk from the world,

drunk from people...

and drunk from love.

Well, life is like that, you know.

She is your mother, right?

Do we look that much alike?

Yes. Your mother is really pretty.

I guess she was.

Excuse me?

I was sent to the United States
for adoption with just this one photo.

So,

I don't really know if
she was pretty or not.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said something like that.

No, it's not like it was
a big secret or anything.

I was going to tell you

everything anyway, Dr. Han.

This is a green light, right?

Geez.

Bring that to Professor
Do, so he can sober up.

Hello.

He came into the
meeting reeking of alcohol.

It was quite a sight.
He's quite the alcoholic.

Perhaps he performed surgery on
Jang Mi Soon that day after drinking?

Professor!

Isn't it weird?

A patient died while performing
a simple cholecystitis surgery.

He could've made a mistake while drunk but
ended up harassing innocent Ji Soo Hyun.

He must've treated her terribly that
she'd run away to the countryside!

And that's why Jang Mi Soon died!

What the hell, geez!

Damn it!

Damn it.

Professor...

Patient Jang Mi Soon

died of a heart attack while I was
performing cholecystitis surgery on her.

Officially, it was recorded
as a cardiac arrest

due to a weakened heart,

but I believe that the real cause was due
to excessive release of catecholamines.

If it was an excessive release
of catecholamines, then...

It was not just a simple
cholecystitis surgery

but the patient also had
malignant pheochromocytoma.

You must have seen the CT
scan before you began the surgery.

How could you not have known it?

The CT scan that I saw
before the surgery looked clean.

There were no cancer cells whatsoever.

Someone switched out the CT scans.

- No way. Who would-
- You know, Dr. Ji, right?

It was weird that Dr. Ji moved to
another hospital right after the surgery.

So, I visited her several times

until she confessed that
she had made a mistake.

The family of the deceased even offered to
give their testimonies if I filed a lawsuit,

but she suddenly disappeared.

Ever since the Chairman went to the
Eonju Hospital's contract ceremony.

Why are you telling me this?

This has nothing to do with me.

I-I will be on my way.

What was said between
the Chairman and Dr. Ji?

How would I know that?

Because you heard it.

Gosh! Seriously!

Geez!

Hey! Han Gye Jeol!

File a complaint? File
a lawsuit? Yeah, right!

Gosh, that hurts. Hey, you think
a lawsuit is some kids' game?

Yeah, let's go to court.
Let's see who wins!

Would you win, or would I win?

Let's see who wins! sh*t!

Gosh.

What was said between them?

Did the Chairman threaten her not
to talk about the switched CT scans

because it would tarnish
the hospital's image?

I don't know. I didn't hear anything.

You definitely heard it.

Otherwise, you couldn't
have reacted that way.

Let's say that I saw something.

Is that why you hired me?

- Since I was an eyewitness?
- Yes.

You are telling me to report Dr. Ji as
repayment for hiring me, aren't you?

Wow, you're so selfish.

You want to say that it was not your
fault. That it was all Ji Soo Hyun's fault.

You just want to be cleared of any guilt.

You don't care at all about what happens to

Dr. Ji Soo Hyun, or how I would feel.

Dr. Han, I just want to reveal the truth.

The truth?

You keep talking like
you're so high and mighty.

Professor, do you know what someone
like me without strong supporters or

anyone to depend on can't afford to have?

Enemies.

I lived carefully, so I don't
make the smallest of enemies.

But you are telling me to stab
a fellow doctor in the back?

I can't.

I need to live, too.

I will do whatever it takes
to take responsibility for you.

How are you going to
take responsibility for me?

Dr. Ji is not the problem.

Doctors and hospitals in South Korea
are full of people from Pilsung Hospital.

If I get on the Chairman's bad side, I
can't even get a job as a pay doctor.

You should have just...

Why didn't you just tell
me openly from the start?

That you want me to
testify, that you will pay me...

Then I wouldn't have gotten to this
point, making a fool out of myself.

You just used my feelings...

So petty...

I made it pretty clear that
you were a parachute hire.

If you had asked me why I hired
you, I would've told you honestly.

If you didn't think about the price to pay,

then isn't that also your fault?

I mistook it for the kindness shown...

without seeking anything in return.

Was there a reason why

- you would mistake it?
- A reason?

That's right.

It was a ridiculous reason from the start.

You...

How much of it did you hear?

Dr. Tae knows everything.

Don't worry too much about her.

Don't mistake Professor Do being
nice to you as an act of kindness.

In this world, there is no
kindness without a price.

You'll get a stomachache if you eat
whatever just because you are hungry.

You did that knowing everything?

♫ You are always present in my time ♫

♫ I can feel your presence wherever I am ♫

♫ All those times you were by my side ♫

♫ I must have taken for granted
because you came to me like air ♫

♫ You are still the same ♫

♫ You are alive in the
memories that I had left there ♫

♫ Because I cannot forget ♫

Hey, I guess this is what
you call a fated connection.

What do I do, Cheol? I feel
like I'm going to get married!

So embarrassing.

Who'd like someone like me?

♫ All I do is wander ♫

Did I hear it wrong?

It seems like that guy
heard something, right?

Yeah.

Is it because he's going
to the other side soon?

He seems to hear what
normal human beings can't hear.

Is it him for sure?

Can't you tell from looking at him?

His eyes, nose, and lips are
unmistakably those of Kokdu.

Geez.

Can't he not come this time?

Stop dreaming.

Seeing how the night is so hot
without even the slightest breeze,

it appears that the season of Kokdu

will start soon.

If there is a problem, call me.

Wait, Dr. Han.

Dr. Han, why do you keep-

Let me at least eat in peace, please.

Dr. Han.

I have something to show you.

Professor.

I am going to stay here no matter what.

So don't waste your energy.

Just a moment will do.

Come on, why are you
being like this, Professor!

Professor, whatever you do, I won't
change my mind. Others are looking...

Let go of me for a sec!

[Do Jin Woo's adoption papers]

Jang Mi Soon was my mother.

As a son, only if I
knew my mother's face...

From the start...

You should have said that from the start.

Then I wouldn't have
spoken like that, either...

I was afraid.

I thought that the
moment I spoke it out loud,

I was afraid that the fact that I k*lled
my mother would become a reality.

I wanted to get revenge.

I wanted to show her how the
son she abandoned grew up so well,

and see her regret her decision.

But...

I didn't intend to take revenge like this.

It's not your fault, Professor.

If she just hadn't met me, she
would still be alive and well...

I told you that's not true.

Whenever I thought about
that, I felt like I'll go insane.

I hoped that it wouldn't
be my fault. I suppose...

that's why I kept obsessing
over Dr. Ji like that.

It's not your fault, Professor.
It's Kim Pil Soo's fault!

Excuse me?

Then shall I tell the
whole world what you did?

About what?

You ordered me to switch the CT scans!

That's why Jang Mi Soon died!

Oh, Professor...

Professor...

Goodness...

Gosh, seriously...

I will report myself.

Excuse me?

I will acknowledge that the CT scans were
switched and that there was medical malpractice.

Then you may get
penalized as well, Professor.

This is a fight that I can only
start if I put everything on the line.

I can only find out why my mother
died by bringing Kim Pil Soo to court.

In order to do that,

I need your testimony, Dr. Han.

W-Well, I...

I don't want to send off my mother

without having tried anything.

I don't have the kind
of courage to do that.

Dr. Han.

That ring...

Please give that back to me now.

You said it wasn't yours, Professor.

You said you never saved me.

I didn't want you to feel indebted to me

for something like that.

But it would be better for me
to feel indebted to you now?

Is that why you're confessing this to me?

Crazy b*stard...

What should I do?

I'm sorry. You should take it.

I must have gone crazy for a moment.

It makes sense for you to go
crazy since it's about your mother.

I know how desperate you would be.

I know that better than anyone,

but I just couldn't muster up the courage.

- It wasn't me. Why don't you listen to me?
- Just...

Just be the one who saved my life.

So I can give the excuse
later that I had no choice

because you saved my life.

You won't regret a thing.

I will do whatever it takes
to take responsibility for you.

I will never leave you
to regret it by yourself.

Let's talk more about this ring
when everything's taken care of.

Until then, I'll hold onto it.

Thank you...

Dr. Han.

While I was cleaning up our trails
regarding Jang Mi Soon, I found that.

An adoption document?

Jang Mi Soon...

was Do Jin Woo's birth mother?

Yes.

I wondered why he kept digging
even when I covered it all up for him.

I guess he will go
through with this to the end.

Joong Shik.

Looks like you will need to go fishing.

I am heading to the court right now.

What time will you be arriving, Professor?

Did I come out too early?

I guess I'll have to wait for you there.

The call is not going through.
You'll be connected to the voicemail.

Ahjussi, I'm getting off.

Gosh, it's hot.

I think it was somewhere around here.

Why isn't he picking up his phone?

[Professor Do Jin Woo]

It's snowing...

in the middle of summer?

Professor Do...

- Dr. Han...
- Don't move!

A-A person fell...

This is...

P-Park Officetel! Please hurry!

Dr. Han...

- Dr. Han...
- Oh, no!

Please don't move, I beg you!

I...

I'm...

s-sorry...

Professor.

Professor?

Professor...

Professor...

No, I'm going to save him.

I can save him.

I will save him!

I will save you this time!

No...

No.

No...

Don't die in front of me!

Professor...

All right.

Professor.

Professor... Professor...

Thank you...

for staying alive...

Professor?

Ok Shin, Gak Shin.

I'm sure

I told you I'll k*ll the first human I see!

Why are you doing this, Professor?

W-What do we do about this?

He's going to really k*ll her like that.

Why are you being like this...

It's your fault. If you
had just hurried up a bit...

Is it time to be pointing fingers?

We need to survive first. Run away for now.

Ok Shin, you dare run away from me?

Geez!

Pure Gold!

Geez.

- Gosh!
- Idiot.

Did you really think that
you could escape me?

Master Kokdu, Master Kokdu, Master
Kokdu, Master Kokdu! Master Kokdu!

P-Please listen to me! L-Look...

Please listen to me.

Would I really have run
away just so that I could live?

I did that to save
someone, to save someone.

To save that woman's life.

Master Kokdu, there is no need to listen
to him. Just start by beating him up.

Stop! Stop.

Do you know what kind
of a world it is right now?

It is very different from 99 years ago.

Do you know about CCTVs?

CCTV, CCTV!

There are CCTVs everywhere.

You can't go around k*lling people
in broad daylight like that. Yes.

Then you should have just said
so. Why did you run away like that?

Would this guy listen
to what I have to say?

He refused to listen to even the
Creator Himself. Would he listen to me?

Damn it, you...

It's because I ran away that
he chased hellbent after me.

If I didn't, that woman would have died.

I saved a person's life like this.

I heard what you had to say. But...

how long shall I stand here?

When are you going to
pay your respects to me!

Two, three.

The god of greed, Ok Shin,
pays respect to you, Master Kokdu.

You've been through a lot

to reincarnate after 99 years, sir.

The god of rumors, Gak Shin
pays respect to you, Master Kokdu.

I will serve you with utmost
devotion for the next 99 days.

It's like I have to force this
kind of respect out of you guys.

You said you would serve me with utmost
devotion, so what's with this crappy car!

Oh! This is 24K gold!

How dare you do this to my Pure Gold...

He's so picky for someone who
is here to receive his punishment...

- Ok Shin.
- What?

Master Kokdu, Master Kokdu!

[Seoul Yeongpo Highway]

Not your handsome face... Aigoo...

I said this several times to you.

I must never get shot by a Japanese
soldier as soon as I open my eyes...

Damn it.

Or get beheaded by an executioner...

Damn it.

That it should never ever happen.

I clearly said the next time I possess a body,
I will open my eyes comfortably in my own house.

But you couldn't even do that one thing?

You let me come back in this state again?

I'm sorry.

Seeing how you guys don't
even listen to me, you guys

got comfortable with me since
you've seen me for so long, right?

Why would you joke in
such an unfunny manner?

Just being in the same space with you
makes my insides churn and makes me dizzy.

What did I do?

Oh, really, Ok Shin?

I'll make you dizzy for real.

- Look straight.
- He's in the middle of driving, so...

So just keep your mouth shut!

[Dr. Han]

Coming through!

[Emergency Center]

It's the perfect night to k*ll someone.

[Kokdu: Season of Deity]

Why did you run away? Why, why, why?

I don't like you. So,
don't be clingy with me.

Come kneel and apologize in front of me!

I just obeyed Han Gye Jeol?

By chance, do you know this ring?

Of course.

Finally, the woman who will release
me from the curse has shown up.

How can you be so sure Han Gye Jeol is her?

Because she moved my heart.

Even though we lost our
memory, our hearts remained.

I will protect you.

Then, let's introduce ourselves properly.

Nice to meet you, Kokdu.

♫ What you said about me
being the only one for you ♫
