01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

Thank you.

I'm looking forward to your involvement
at the Neuroscience Center,

-Chief Min.
-Goodness.

Yes. I'm looking forward to it, too.

It's only been a few days,
but I can see you have a great system

and talented medical staff here.

I should thank you
for allowing me to join.

Professor Chae,
I'm looking forward to working with you.

Why don't we all have a meal together?
The cafeteria serves good food.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Don't be so formal.
You can talk to me casually.

Okay.

Professor Min looks much better
in person than on TV.

He's on a lot of TV shows,

but he performs
all of his surgeries himself.

I want you to take
Gong Hyeong-u's surgery.

He's not in critical condition.
But this surgery is tricky.

Reporters have their eyes on us,

so his surgery must go well,
no matter what.

We can use this surgery
to get your name out there.

My surgery schedule for next week is full.
I don't have time for it.

Come on.

Min-sik, I heard you have
a third baby on the way.

What? How did you know?

I heard you guys talking.

You should go home.

I can handle your emergency calls.
I can take two or three calls a month.

-Thank you. It's a nice gesture.
-It's not just a gesture.

You're breaking my heart.

Thank you.

By the way,
how much longer are they going to film us?

Gosh, working as a TV director
must be so hard.

Goodness, nothing is easy in this world.

Sir.

You should just eat comfortably.

I won't go anywhere.

I'll do everything you ask.
Just enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

Dr. Yong.

Han Seung-hyeok needs a lumbar drain.

Have you done it?

Who?

Han Seung-hyeok in Room 7104.

Isn't that Professor Min Gi-jun's patient?

Yes.

This is Park Jeong-su. I took a look
at his CT angiography scan this morning.

I saw an unruptured cerebral aneurysm,
so he was admitted today.

His surgery is scheduled next week.

You look more handsome
in the patient gown.

Dr. Min, this surgery
isn't difficult, is it?

I have performed this surgery
hundreds of times.

You don't have to worry.

Where's the location of his aneurysm?

The right paraclinoid aneurysm
is on the cerebral artery.

-But its neck seemed narrow.
-I see.

There won't be any problems.
It's a simple surgery.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Yes.

Wait, no.

What? Do you think I'd be
against you having a girlfriend?

Gosh, he's making me look bad.

-All right, then.
-Thank you, Doctor.

Sure.

Hello. How do you feel today?

Whatever.

What? What are you going to do?

-Is that so?
-They only ran a blood test

and gave him an IV drip.

And no one came to check on him!

We still haven't heard
about his surgery date.

No one gave us an update.

Do you just want him to die? Is that it?

I am truly sorry.

I believe my resident missed it
as he was busy.

I will apologize on his behalf.

I am very sorry.

Who's in charge?

Should I just do it myself?

Han Seung-hyeok really needs
to get a lumbar drain today.

You can't just do it yourself.

Professor Min told you
to check everything with him.

Don't you remember
the colossal disaster last week?

Professor Min should
at least give you orders.

He didn't give any orders
after the patient got admitted.

He seems nice in front of patients,
but he doesn't care about them at all.

Seok-min, I moved up
Lee Myeong-gi's surgery.

Get his guardian's consent.

Okay.

It's not that urgent.
Finish your ramyeon and take a breather.

I'm done.

Take your time.

You!

How can you be eating right now?

How can you eat now?

Why didn't you do a lumbar drain
for Han Seung-hyeok?

-Why didn't you do it?
-Sir.

Do you call yourself a doctor?

How can you call yourself a doctor?

What if the hydrocephalus gets worse
and puts him in danger?

Will you take responsibility for that?
Will you?

You didn't give me any orders.
Why are you blaming me?

Are you out of your mind?

How dare you talk back to me?

Hey.

Hey.

You call yourself a chief resident?

You can't even make a judgment call.
You shouldn't be a chief resident.

Seriously?

Look at you.

Are you glaring at me?

Stop glaring.

Stop glaring at me, you b*stard!

Stop glaring!

Lastly, the complications.

One percent of patients experience
altered consciousness,

convulsion, dyskinesia, and so on.
Sequelae are infectious diseases,

encephalitis, meningitis,
and brain abscess. Any questions?

I doubt you have any.

All right, then.

Okay.

Lastly, due to the lack
of oxygen in the organs,

one percent of patients suffer
organ failure, brain damage, and--

"Brain damage"?

How did you not know Mother was this sick?

Doctor, is my mom's surgery that serious?

No, they're just the possibilities.

I'm only informing you
of the possibilities.

Her heart muscles may be damaged
during the surgery.

In severe cases, she may die.

"Die"?

She was fine just a few minutes ago.

I'm not saying that she will die.

I'm saying that could happen.

Oh, Mom.

What if Mom dies during the surgery?

I feel so bad for her!

I won't be able to live!
I'm going to miss her so much!

I can't live without her.

Mom. You!

Mom!

Poor Mom!

Excuse me. She's still alive.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Did you just get here?
Are you on the night shift again?

-No, I'm not.
-Are you going home now?

I have the morning shift.

Then why are you here at seven?

This is when my shift starts.

-It's night.
-It's morning.

What?

YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

Tell me about the patient.

He had a stomachache and was constipated,
so I performed an enema. He's fine now.

I'm sorry, sir.

My intern was so scared
that they called you directly.

I'm sorry.

No, that's okay.

You must have been scared, too.

You were scared, weren't you?

This happens to kids often,
so you don't need to worry too much.

A lot of kids around Jeong-hu's age
come to the ER because of constipation.

-Isn't he your first son?
-Yes.

Moms get scared for their first children
and come to the ER a lot.

Moms with second or third children
are like experts.

They come here, ask for the meds,
chat a little, and leave.

Really?

I was so scared that something
would happen to my son.

My gosh, I still have
a long way to go as a mother.

Even experienced mothers get scared
for their first children.

It's natural to be scared.
Don't beat yourself up.

It looks like he fell asleep.

We should let him sleep.
Do you want to get some coffee?

-Sounds great.
-Let's go.

Is the café open?

Professor Lee, I noticed that the date
for my returning flight is next week,

not this week.

I'm grateful that you paid for my flight.

But what about U-ju? Who will watch U-ju?

U-ju?
My parents are coming this afternoon.

They will watch him for me.
You have nothing to worry about.

Okay. Go sightseeing with your daughter.

You know, China is a big country.

U-ju, that's spicy.

It's really spicy.

You should eat your soup. Eat your food.

Okay. Bye.

Hi, Mom.

Why would I go there with Professor Jang?

Gosh. I can't go there for a reason.

I broke up with him.

I broke up with Professor Jang.

What? Why?

He cheated on me.

He cheated on...

That jerk, Professor Jang, cheated on me.

Last week, when I was tired after surgery,

he came to my office himself
and confessed everything.

He said he was seeing someone else.

My gosh. I'm not in my 20s.
Of course, I'm fine.

I'm really busy these days.
Maybe it's better this way.

I can live without him.
Or I can get a new boyfriend.

Mom, I'm going into surgery. Bye.

You startled me.

Are you trying to look funny?

That, too.

Stay ten steps away from me.

It's embarrassing to be seen with you.

Did Professor Jang cheat on you?

Did you hear that?

If I didn't, I should go to an ENT doctor.

Hey, by the way,

your vocalization is really nice.

You have perfect pitch.

I'm the band's vocalist for a reason.

That... Gosh.

A cold cup of iced Americano, please.

Iced Americano is already cold.

-They mean the same thing.
-Yes, they do. So just pick one.

You pay for this. Bye.

Gosh, that rude jerk.

I'm sorry.

A cold cup of iced Americano
and that jerk's chocolate milk.

And the scone, too.

I came to the hospital, so I could live.

Did you think I came here to die?

You know what? When someone is in pain,
you should give them painkillers

or check if everything's okay
with the surgical wound.

You just come here once or twice a day.
Is that all you do?

Is that all?

Excuse me. When you scream like this,

you make other patients
uncomfortable.

I'm in pain! I said I'm in severe pain!

If a patient is in so much pain,
shouldn't you do something about it?

Dr. Chae.

They need to dress the wound
three times a day.

Dressing it twice won't disinfect
the wound enough.

I'll tell them to take better care of you.
Please don't be upset.

If you say so.

It would've been great if you'd done
a better job from the start.

Do you have urination problems?

No. It's all good.

I pee just the right amount.

Okay, then.

Discharge the patient.

Pardon?

Didn't you hear her voice just now?

She's full of energy.

She's all better now. Let's discharge her.

Okay.

The patient's INR is off the charts!
What were you doing?

I'm sorry.

Is that all?

Didn't I tell you to check his INR

and give him two FFPs
if his INR went over two?

I even told you the number of FFPs
because you can't do that yourself.

You should've followed my orders.

Doctor.

I came here because my heart is not well.

But my heart is about
to explode right now.

I'm sorry.

Do your job, please.

Doctor, are you all right?

Yes.

Is there anything else?

No. I'm fine.

I'm sorry. You got scolded because of me.

My gosh,
I got scolded because I messed up.

Sorry?

I'll come back after my meal.

Is Dr. Yong here?

What brings you
all the way to NS, Jae-hak?

Say hello to the chief resident for CS.
It's Dr. Do Jae-hak.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Are these the med students?
-Yes. Guys, sit down.

-Okay.
-Okay.

They are med students.
Our department has them this week.

He looks pretty old, doesn't he?

He started college before some professors.

No, I didn't.

I took the CSAT four times
and the bar exam six times.

Memorize that. Let's go eat.

Eat? What's that?

I must attend the conference
for Gong Hyeong-u's surgery.

I know him.
The good Samaritan, Gong Hyeong-u.

He was a subway homeless guy.

He's a hero who saved
a pregnant lady from the tracks.

I don't get why Chief Min
is suddenly leading this surgery.

This patient needs
transsphenoidal surgery.

Dr. Chae is the specialist for it.
How could he steal that?

An endoscope is inserted into the nose.

I gathered all of his data, too.

It will be perfect
if I do this with Dr. Chae.

My gosh. Aren't you going to eat?

I told you I have a conference.

Dr. Heo Seon-bin. Dr. Ahn Chi-hong.

They are three-year residents.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I've got a question for you.
Are you guys a thing, too?

-No, we are not.
-We are not a thing, either.

Why are you always together?
Captain Ahn is older than you.

He's from the military academy.
People are fascinating.

We're close.
We went to the same med school.

But your genders...

-My gosh. He's so old-fashioned.
-Oh, Father.

That's what I should say.

What am I going to do with this surgery?

Dr. Heo, take the med students with you.

Dr. Ahn, come with me to the conference.

Okay.

It's a large pituitary tumor.

I don't think I can remove the tumor
completely through the TSA.

So I'll take the pterional approach
to resect the tumor.

If you do,
there will be a lot of bleeding.

Won't that cause a brain injury?

It's an unusually big tumor.

It's deeply expanded
into the suprasellar region.

It's better
if I take the pterional approach.

But I still believe
the TSA is a better approach.

He'll need radiation therapy later,

but given that he has diabetes
and his wounds will heal slowly,

performing a craniotomy is too much.

We must remove the tumor completely.

The first thing the press asks will be
the result of the surgery.

If we say some of the tumor remains
and he might undergo radiation therapy,

what do you think
those reporters will write?

It will only ruin
the hospital's reputation.

Saving the patient and removing the tumor
completely is important.

But if you take that approach,

his optic nerves or his pituitary stalk
might be damaged.

I don't think you guys have
much experience with this surgery.

I've performed this surgery
hundreds of times.

The quality of his life is important,

but seeing the tumor myself

and removing it completely
will be much better for him.

I've had a very low percentage
of sequelae among my patients.

Their recoveries weren't that bad.

It's got to be more than
a low chance of suffering from sequelae.

Even if our reputation gets ruined
for a while,

the patient's quality of life
must be taken into account.

Wait here. I'm going to the bank.

Hey, Old-timer.

Share your wisdom with the med students.
You've lived twice as long as them.

"Old-timer"? I'm still in my 30s.

But you turn 40 next year.

All right. First off, what are your names?

My name is Jang Hong-do.

I bet you were good at ssireum
at your school.

What do you do for fun? Calligraphy?

No, I play the guitar.
I'm in a band at my church.

Not a traditional instrument?

Sorry.

What's your name?

It's Yun-bok.

Don't joke around.

You informed Dr. Chae, right?

Her phone was off, so I sent a text.

Okay. She has a lecture today.

She will respond soon.

-Does she give lectures?
-Yes.

She teaches and does a lot of surgery.

And she checks
residents' papers thoroughly.

And she attends symposiums.
She goes hiking and camping on weekends.

But she still manages to come
to work at 7 a.m. She's never late.

Is that even possible?

That's why her nickname is Ghost.
I gave her that nickname.

She's in the lobby.
She's coming with Ms. Hwang.

See?

There's no other explanation of how she
can do everything unless she's a ghost.

Let's go in.

You're known as the Ghost.
And yet, your shoes are worn out.

-I'm the Ghost?
-Yes, that's your nickname.

-Why is that?
-Because you can't be human.

It's post-op day seven for Kim Ju-chan.
How is he?

His wound is clean.
We can take his stitches out.

By the way, your birthday is next week.

I'll buy you a pair of shoes.

This pair can last me ten more years.

It's been about ten years
since I first saw them.

You got them when you were a resident.

You should bid farewell to your shoes.

Who was it?

Who nicknamed me?

Yong Seok-min did.

Got it.

My gosh.

You still have a long way to go,

but make sure you choose GS for your field
when you become residents.

Don't say,
"You mean the GS convenience store?"

It's not
the GS home-shopping network either.

I see. You mean, general surgery?

That's right.

I know there aren't a lot of residents
for other fields either.

But there are only
a handful of GS residents in Korea.

You know what?

There has been a new dynamic to this.

Listen up, Jang-hwa and Hong-ryeon.

Our names are Hong-do and Yun-bok.

Okay. Hong-do and Yun-bok.
Listen carefully.

Here in our hospital,
there are 13 general surgeons.

But there is only one resident.

Dr. Jang Gyeo-ul, what are you doing?

She's like the only daughter of 13 dads.

Then, who do you think has the upper hand?

Guys, general surgery isn't so bad.

Dr. Jang, why did you come
to work so early?

I told you to take today off.

She prepared the materials
for a colorectal surgery meeting.

Don't talk to her. She's busy.

And get lost.

Go.

My goodness. Dr. Jang, have you eaten?

I had pot noodles here earlier.

Pot noodles?

That's not real food. Come on.

Let's go. I'll buy you a meal. Come.

If you collapse,
General Surgery will collapse, too. Come.

-I'm fine.
-Really?

You were reading Lee Yong-chan's chart.

This patient will get
a liver transplant tomorrow morning.

Liver transplant.
And I'm leading the surgery.

Do you want to join me?

He's an HCC patient.

Dr. Jang, I'm doing my rounds.

Can you come with me?

-No, she can't. No.
-Hey, hold on.

You'll join me, right?

I still can't turn my head because
I had to do surgery alone yesterday.

I can do it if it's in the morning.

Really?

Really?

There you are, Dr. Jang.

Can you help me with my breast cancer
surgery tomorrow morning?

Yes, I will.

Hey, you.

Dr. Lee Ik-jun.

Hello, sir.

You know what?

How are you such a great dancer? How?

I have never seen anyone who's
as good at singing and dancing as you

and who knows how to have fun
as much as you.

I'm flattered, sir.

I'll see you at the next gathering.

-Okay.
-Have a good day.

Dr. Jang, that means that you won't be
joining me tomorrow morning, right?

I'm sorry.

I'll disinfect everything tomorrow,

open the patient up,
and close him up by myself.

But next time,

please...

Pick me, pick me, pick me up

-Pick me, pick me, pick me up
-Yes?

I'll be right there.

-Where? Eat the sausage.
-It's the ER.

Should I call Jeong-won?
I heard he's not busy.

It was a personal call to me.

Hello, ma'am.

What? Okay. I'll be there.

Don't worry. Just go.

I'll take care of it. Yes.

That's the Blood Collection Room,
CT Scan Room,

X-Ray Room and MRI Room.

If you go straight,
there's the PET Scan Room.

You've heard of PET, right?

PET? Like a plastic bottle?

Positron emission tomography?

What is that used for?

I don't know that much yet.

We just got into med school.

You guys are soulmates, aren't you?

-Yes.
-I knew it.

Dr. Heo, will we be going
to the operating rooms?

Someday.

Hui-su, I saw your Instagram post.
You had a soufflé pancake yesterday.

-Was that any good?
-Totally.

I went to the cafe at 3 p.m. after work.
I didn't have to wait.

You should go and try it, too.

If only I had time.

Can you come with me, then?

Actually, I should treat you to a meal
for looking after my interns.

You always treat me. It's on me next time.

Dr. Jang, have some cookies.

No, I don't like sweets.

I see. Okay.

How old is the patient?

He's a seven-year-old
and was in a traffic accident.

And he shows signs of stupor.

That's why I called the GS.

I see.

Hello.

Okay.

It will take 20 more minutes.

-Then, I'll come back after my meal.
-Okay.

Guys, this isn't free.
It's coming out of my paycheck.

We had pot noodles just now.

Thank you for the meal.

Let's go.

Sir, a lot of sausages, please.

-Are you a resident?
-Pardon?

-Yes.
-Okay. Then, you can have three sausages.

She told me not to give more than two,

but I gave you three
since you're a resident. Next.

-Are you an intern?
-No, I'm a med student.

My gosh. I'll give you five sausages.

Here.

There you go.

-You, too?
-Yes.

Okay. Here. There you go.

What are you doing here?

You're a professor.

You get one sausage.

That way, I can even out the sausages.

I gave a lot of sausages
to the people in front of you.

The higher your position is,
the fewer sausages you get.

Don't stand there. Keep moving.

The cafeteria lady and I are best friends.

Her son suddenly ended up
at the police station.

I'm wearing gloves and a mask.

Give me one more.

-Just one more.
-Get lost. Next.

Okay.

Seriously?

Darn it.

Gosh.

Here.

This way, I can balance
supply and demand.

I gave a lot of sausages
to the people in front of you.

You should make a small sacrifice, sir.

Next.

Hi.

You know how much I care, right?

Thank you.

Wait.

They prepare everything

from breakfast, lunch, dinner, late-night
snacks to boxed meals during surgery.

Even boxed meals?

They send meal boxes upstairs.

We can't come down to eat during surgery.

After eating this meal,
will we go to the operating rooms?

I don't know.

Okay.

A seven-year-old boy
from a traffic accident.

He was out with his mom.
He was trying to pick up a toy on the road

when a speeding truck crashed into him.
His BP is 60/40.

I think his pelvis
and chest bone are broken.

Ju-hwan.

I see intraperitoneal bleeding
and thoracic injury.

From the X-ray,
he has a cervical spine injury.

And it seems
he has a pelvic fracture, too.

What should we do?

What do you mean?
We should try to save him.

Get a CT scan now.

He might have a brain injury,
so call Dr. Chae.

Okay.

Where's Dr. Ahn Jeong-won?

He was working outside today,
but he's almost here.

This will be a tough case
even with Jeong-won's help. Goodness.

He's losing consciousness.

And we can't get his pulse,
and his breathing is weak.

We only checked his ultrasound
and X-ray scan.

He has hemoperitoneum,

cervical spine injury,
and a pelvic fracture.

We'll know more once we take his brain CT.

There's a high chance that
his brain might be swelling as well.

We can operate, but even if we do,

it may be hard for him
to regain consciousness.

What are you doing? Go.

His guardian must be waiting.
Go talk to her now.

Yes, Doctor.

We have our conference rooms here.

When a patient needs surgery, the surgeon
doesn't make all the decisions.

All the professors
in the department gather,

discuss the best approach for the patient,

and advise each other.

Let's see if this room is open.

They are cute.

I used to be young like them.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, we have our precious med students.

Let's listen to why
they applied to med school.

What's wrong with him? Just let them go.

Right? You don't like that, either.

-Pardon?
-I'm sorry.

I won't talk to you.

Both of my parents are doctors,
so I didn't have much choice--

Hey, Seon-bin.
We're not interested in your story.

Let's start with you, first.

Why did you decide to study medicine?

Well...

my mother had major surgery ten years ago.

I was moved by the devoted doctor
who treated my mom.

So I decided to study medicine.

Gosh, that's great.

Next.

Well...

my mother had major surgery ten years ago.

I was moved by her passionate doctor--

She already said that.

Your friend just said that.

I'm sorry. We'll get going now.

-Let's go.
-Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

-Let's go that way.
-Thank you.

TELL THEM YOU'LL DO IT, PROFESSOR

Thank you.

Yes. This is Chae Song-hwa speaking.

I called you at the perfect time, right?

Yes. Nicely done.

Who is it? Come in.

You should volunteer to do it.

Unbelievable.

Do you think doing surgery
is like booking a hotel room?

Changing the lead surgeon
isn't that simple.

Are you going to watch the patient die?

Hey!

Professor Min said he won't do
a craniotomy. He'll do the TSA.

What's the problem here?

He's only performed a TSA
once in his career.

And his fellow doctor

did most of the work
while he just stood in the OR.

The tumor expanded
into the suprasellar region.

Executing the TSA will be
especially difficult for this case.

I'm sure he can handle it.

At his previous hospital,
his fellow doctor

did the TSA for him. But what about us?

We have you. You can assist him.

I don't know anything!

You startled me. Keep your voice down.

Professor Chae.

Will you let Professor Min
operate on Gong Hyeong-u?

That's not right.
We can't do that to a patient.

You should talk to the hospital director.

Tell him you'll do it.

Isn't that in two days?

I have skull base tumor surgery
tomorrow afternoon.

It won't have ended by then.

I just don't have time for it.

You can ask the anesthesiologist
to buy you some time.

I'll set up everything.

I don't know.
Gosh, I'm getting a headache.

Jun-wan, do you have anything
for headaches?

You're a neurosurgeon.
Don't you have anything?

Let's go to my office.

Professor Chae. Please.

-Professor Chae.
-Stop it.

That's enough whining.

-What did I just say?
-You saw Professor Jang with his junior.

-You knew it, didn't you?
-It was a coincidence.

-Hey.
-It's a day or two before he came clean.

I was going to tell you.

You should've told me right away.

I can't assume anything
about relationships.

If you see something,
just tell me as it is.

Your concern doesn't matter.

Hey, it's not that easy to do.
You think you could've told me?

Yes. I would tell you right away.

I would tell you your girlfriend was
cheating on you the second I saw it.

-What is it?
-It's time for your outpatients.

-I don't have outpatients today.
-I was talking to Professor Chae.

Right.

We're not done.

Dr. Ahn Chi-hong from NS
was waiting by the door.

Okay.

Good. This is the best thing
you've done this year.

It's highly likely
that he's having hemorrhagic shock.

Then, what should we do?

His pulse is weak.

We believe he may have
a thoracic and brain injury.

We took him up for CT.

But we're not sure if he will last.

There's a slim chance we can save him.

There's no hope for him.

Doctor, please save Ju-hwan.

If he's gone,

I won't be able to live.

Did you perform CPR?

Pardon?

Did you do chest compressions?

No.

He could have lived if you had done that.

-What?
-Dr. Jang.

-Yes?
-A word, please.

I'm Professor Ahn from Pediatric Surgery.

It is true that things
aren't good for your son,

but we will do everything
we can to save him.

I'll talk to you once we get the CT scan.

Ma'am, it's too early to be sure
about anything.

Dr. Jang, how long
have you been a resident?

-Three years.
-Is that how you talk to guardians?

He could've lived if she did CPR?

How could you say that?

Did you think about how guilty
she would feel for the rest of her life?

And how can you be certain
if he has no hope or a slim chance?

I've observed him since he got here.

I only told her the facts

after reading his chart
and observing his condition.

But what I told her is true.

He indeed has a slim chance.

I told her the truth because I believed
she needed to know her son's condition.

Telling her that
she should have performed CPR...

It was my mistake. I am sorry.

What are you doing here?

Come out. We need this bed.

How's the kid? Did you call Song-hwa?

I don't have to.

What?

There's no brain damage from the CT scan.

We can save him if we focus
on stopping the bleeding.

My gosh. That was a close one.

I need to treat a patient
with a stomachache.

And I'm taking Dr. Bae Jun-hui.

Dr. Jang, talk to the guardian for me.

Dr. Jang.

Do you know why doctors only give vague
answers such as "We can't be sure yet,"

"We don't know yet,"

and "We need to observe a bit more"?

Doctors must take
responsibility for their words.

So we must be careful with our words.

There's only one thing we, doctors,
can tell our patients with certainty.

"We will do our best."

That's the only thing.

Go.

His mother will be so happy to hear that.

Okay. Bye.

I looked at this patient's chart
this morning.

The patient had breast cancer surgery
at our hospital a month ago.

I do see a 3cm-metastatic tumor
in the parietal lobe.

From her record,
after the breast cancer surgery,

she was also treated for depression.

Was that why she didn't do chemotherapy?

Bring her in. What's her name?

It's Ba-ram.

Her name is Ba-ram.

I went to high school
with a girl who had the same name.

We were quite close.

I still remember her number.

She's the same age as you.

-My gosh.
-No.

She has a unique last name.

-It's Gal.
-Yes.

So her attendance number was...

My gosh.

I knew it was you.

You're famous.
Your name pops up on search engines.

That's enough.
Why didn't you do chemotherapy?

If you had, you could've stopped it
from spreading.

It would have spread even if I did.

I will die in the end no matter what.
What's the point?

Is my surgery difficult?

No. It's on the layer
that wraps around your head.

So it's not hard. You don't have to worry.

I'm not worried...

since my doctor is you.

Do I need to get admitted today?

Well, we're not pressed for time
to do the surgery.

But still, it's best to do it
as soon as possible.

I'm available this weekend.
Let's do it then.

You should get admitted today
and get all the tests.

Thank you.

You can thank me at our school reunion
after you get discharged.

Will I live until then?

Hey.

What a long day.

Professor Chae, didn't you drive today?

I did. But I don't have energy
to drive now.

And I'm hungry, too.

Dr. Chae, I'm hungry.
Let's get some kalguksu.

Sounds great.

Should I call the others?

-I'm here.
-God, you're so loud.

-I'm here. Get in.
-I'm right here!

-Hey, pull up your seat.
-Wait.

-Hurry.
-Pull up. Come on.

-Hey, pull up your seat, too.
-This is it.

-You should drive yourselves!
-Hey, hold on.

-What about your car?
-Okay. Hold on.

-Come on.
-There are five of us!

MAMA'S HOMEMADE KALGUKSU, 24 HOURS

Want a pain relief patch?

You carry all sorts of stuff there.

Ma'am.

My mother likes kalguksu.
Should I take some home?

-Jeong-won, give me your cup.
-Okay.

Do you know what your nickname is?

What is it? Is it Angel?

-It's Buddha.
-I see.

That makes no sense, right?
His family has two priests and two nuns.

I love Buddha, too.

My goodness. Jeong-won is my ideal friend.

Gosh, if I had a younger sister,
I would set you up with her.

-You do have a sister.
-Oh, right. I do.

Mom. Do you want me
to bring home some kalguksu?

Why are you asking her that?
Just buy some for her.

Kalguksu.

I'll be home soon after this meal.

Is something bothering you?

What? No.

I bet it's because of Gong Hyeong-u.

The good Samaritan from the subway?
What about him?

I heard the new chief
will be performing the surgery.

What does she have to do with it?

I heard Professor Min doesn't have
much experience with TSA.

And given the location
of the tumor and sequelae,

going with TSA is a much better choice
than a craniotomy.

Since he was originally my patient,

I'm thinking of telling him
that I'll take the patient.

But that might be a bit awkward.

He's Professor Min's patient now
after all.

My mom wants to talk to you.

Hello, Mother. It's Ik-jun, your stepson,

who's cheerful and bubbly
unlike your biological son.

-Yes.
-Right?

My gosh. How am I going
to take the surgery from him?

I would just tell him.

-Of course, you would.
-Yes.

If that's a better option
for the patient, I ought to.

"I can perform that surgery
better than you.

And it's better for the patient."

I'd tell him exactly that.

I couldn't do it. Every doctor
has their methods and stories.

It's crossing the line.

No, it is not. We must stick to the facts.

If you're so inclined to stick to facts,

why didn't you tell me the fact
that my ex was cheating on me?

-Excuse me.
-Okay.

-Enjoy.
-Thank you.

Okay.

Is that so? Okay.

Okay. Thank you.
Anyway, I'll get it checked out.

I know a few clinics.

Okay. Thank you. Take care.

-Seok-hyeong.
-Yes?

I don't want your mom to know
about my prostate problems.

I told my mom that you're going
to the bathroom too often these days,

due to frequent urination
and urinary retention.

Professor Min's case
is different from your ex's.

He has nothing to do with me.

It's strictly work,
whereas you're a couple.

I can't tell you what to do.

I never told you to.

I'm saying
you should've told me what you saw.

-Could you have done it?
-Yes, totally.

-Liar.
-Hey.

The kalguksu is ready.

Fight later. Let's eat first.

If I saw your girlfriend with another guy,
I'd call you right away.

Goodness, it's easier said than done.

I never liked Professor Jang
to begin with.

-Pass me the chili powder.
-Okay.

Excuse me. Can we get another spoon?

Hey, U-ju. Daddy will be home soon.

Why are you still up?

U-ju is still awake?

Hey, I heard you bought a big-a*s TV.

I'll see you in your dreams. Bye.

Seok-hyeong's TV is like his girlfriend.

It was pretty expensive.

I want to see it when we meet up
for our next band practice session.

Right, when should we meet up for that?

How about this weekend?

I have surgery booked this weekend.

How many bowls of rice would you like?

-Two?
-Just one.

-Two will be too many, right?
-Yes, I'm getting full.

-Just one, please.
-Jeez!

We want five.
Please stir-fry five bowls of rice.

-I knew Jeong-won would get this angry.
-Hey, aren't you full?

-Hey, what the--
-He didn't eat much.

And us, too. We just started eating.

Guys, no one would eat that fast
even during a w*r. Why eat so quickly?

Okay. Why are you getting so worked up?
Order five servings.

You're so self-centered.

What a weird thing to hear
in the middle of eating kalguksu.

Why don't you try to eat faster?

Why don't you try to slow down a little?

Hi, Mom.

Oh, fresh kimchi?

Excuse me. I'll take some fresh kimchi
to go as well.

Why must I control my pace
when I'm paying for my food?

No, you're not.
The hospital's paying for this.

And it's my dad's hospital.
So strictly speaking, it is my money.

Jeez, you petty prick.

Fine. I'll pay for what I ate.
How much do I owe you?

-Pay me.
-Okay, so how much?

Guys, stop. Enough!

Gosh, seriously.

You guys are acting like
you're around U-ju's age.

You're 40. Must you fight over fried rice?

Hey, you have no idea what they did to me.

When we had cheonggukjang last time,
I only ate tofu.

-These two ate all the beef.
-Jeez.

Okay, I heard you.
Jeez, the things this prick remembers.

So how many bowls of rice?

-Five, please!
-Just two!

Give us 3.5 bowls, please.

DID I REALLY HURT YOUR FEELINGS?

NO, I UNDERSTAND.
I WAS JUST MESSING WITH YOU.

OKAY

-Hello, Professor.
-You haven't given up yet?

Of course not. How could I?
It's important for the patient.

Professor, I'm begging you
for the last time.

Please perform the surgery.

I can't.
I'd be overstepping the bounds if I did.

Unless the patient requests me.

It's getting late,
so don't bring it up today.

Speak with the patient tomorrow morning.

Explain the situation well.

How are you feeling?

Well, you know.

-Where's your husband?
-I have my caregiver, so it's fine.

If he were here, he'd just
get on my nerves, so this is better.

I get it, but he needs to sign
the consent for your surgery.

-Did you e-mail him?
-Yes, I did.

He read it but hasn't replied yet.

Who cares about a reply?
He should come here right away.

It takes him two days to just
get out of there. He's in Indonesia.

What was the place called?

I can never remember the name.

He's probably busy cutting down the trees.

Was he around
for your breast cancer surgery?

I never told him. He has no idea.

-Hey.
-Nothing changes even if he knows.

I don't want to think about my husband
and everything else.

I'll just suffer and die alone.

What are you talking about?

And what's with the curtains?
Don't you feel stuffy?

This ward is filled with elderly ladies.

They're all so nosy.

A breast cancer patient fascinates them.

I think they want to know whether
one of my breasts is fake or not.

They keep looking at me.

That's why I closed the curtains.

Have some rice cake.

No, thanks.

Are you fasting right now?

No, I don't want to eat.

My gosh, you're here too.

Doctor, try some rice cake.

Sure, I'll try one.

You can urinate
without any problems, right?

Yes, of course.
I'm doing great these days.

It's all because you took
such good care of me.

-I'm totally fine now.
-I see.

My head used to turn to one side like this
for no reason,

and my lips used to twitch
as if someone was trying to pull them.

-Like this. It used to twitch like this.
-Right, I see.

You should still take it easy.
And make sure you eat well.

-I will.
-See you.

-Chi-hong.
-Yes.

Go get ready for the surgery.

I'll take care of the positioning.
Just set up the Wilson frame.

-Call me when everything's ready.
-Will do.

Thank you, Doctor.

Gosh, you're really not understanding
what I'm trying to say.

Your tumor is located behind your nose,
near the center of the brain,

which isn't ideal at all.

It'd be dangerous to open the skull
to get to the cranial base,

so we'll do a procedure called TSA,

where an endoscope is inserted
in the nose to remove the tumor,

but Professor Min Gi-jun
does not specialize in that surgery.

Dr. Min said it won't be
such a dangerous procedure.

He told me to trust him.

I just like Dr. Min.

I want to stick with him.

It's your life that's on the line.

I'd never suggest you do
something that is bad for you.

I've explained it to you multiple times.
What can I do if you just don't get it?

Please just do as I say, okay?

Just do as you're told
if you don't know anything.

Your guardian doesn't get it either.

I've already put it
in layman's terms for you.

-Hey.
-Professor, we're ready.

Okay.

PROFESSOR OF NEUROSURGERY

Aren't you performing
occipital lobe surgery today?

Yes, I have to go to the OR now.

Gosh, you'll probably be done
tomorrow morning.

Anyway, what brought you here?

Sir, about the patient Gong Hyeong-u...

Jeez, these punks...

I'll assist you.

I still don't feel confident
with the TSA surgery.

I'd love the opportunity
to learn from you.

Thank you. I have to go.

Hey, I'm on my way now.

Professor Chae
got the patient's permission,

-so you should thank her later.
-Okay.

The surgery is for a skull base tumor,
so it'll take 10 to 13 hours.

You can observe the beginning
and just go home.

It can take up to 13 hours?

Most neurosurgery procedures
take many hours.

The skull base surgery
especially takes a long time.

It takes an hour
just to position the patient.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

The earliest I'll be done is 6 a.m.

Call Anesthesiology
and ask them to push Gong by an hour.

You go in first and drape the patient.

-And call the ENT professor.
-Professor, I love you--

They're still positioning the patient.

Let's wait for a few minutes. Follow me.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Let's go.

Yun-bok, why did you decide
to go to med school?

Did you get good grades like I did?

-Thank you for this.
-Thank you.

My mom had major surgery ten years ago,

and I was so inspired by her doctor
back then.

What? Seriously?

Yes, my mom was very ill
when I was in seventh grade.

Her surgery took over ten hours.

They kept her in the ICU
for a week after the surgery...

but she never woke up. She passed away.

-Gosh, I'm sorry.
-It's okay.

Looking back now,

I think she was either an intern
or a resident.

But back then, I thought
everyone in the white coat was a doctor.

The doctor bawled her eyes out

and apologized to me
for not being able to save my mom.

I was only a seventh grader,
but I still knew

that my mom was in
a very serious condition.

And all the doctors in the ICU
worked so hard to save her.

I saw it with my own two eyes.

I was actually
pretty calm about it at first.

I was okay

until an old doctor came
and told me that my mom passed away.

But that doctor started bawling
as soon as she saw us.

And she apologized.

"Your mom will watch over you from heaven,
so grow into a wonderful woman."

Then she said she'd be a better doctor.

She said that in tears
to a seventh grader.

That's when it really hit us,
both me and Hong-do.

"We don't have a mom anymore.

Everyone else has a mom, but we don't."

I cried my eyes out.

But what do you mean by "we"?

Hong-do and I are twins.

Hey, don't cry.

He still cries his eyes out
whenever we talk about Mom.

You should've told me.
Why didn't you tell me?

It's fun to keep it a secret.

All our teachers and friends
asked us about it all the time,

which felt like such a hassle.
So we've decided to just have fun.

Please don't tell anyone. Sorry.

We're sorry.

I won't tell anyone for the time being.

Yun-bok, do you know the doctor's name?

You should find her.
She'd be happy to see you.

And tell her
that you're now a doctor, too.

-I don't know her name.
-Do you remember her face?

No, barely.

Her shoes are the only thing we remember.

Shoes?

Yes, our eyes were glued to the floor
because we kept crying.

I think the doctor was wearing
a new pair of shoes that day,

but she forgot to take off
the size sticker because she was too busy.

It was 225 mm. That's all I remember.

Gosh, you can't find her with that alone.

Hey, okay.

-Let's go. They're starting.
-Okay.

Let's go.

The adhesion is pretty bad, so it'll
take a while to separate the tumor.

Let's all do our best.

-Vitals?
-The BP is 120.

The heart rate is stable,
hovering between 70 and 80.

Good.

Professor, the med students are here
to observe.

Okay, tell them to come closer.

You may come closer.

Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Please stay out of this line.

And be careful
not to bump into the equipment.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Observe carefully.

And don't hesitate to ask me
if you have any questions.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

This way, more of them
will apply to Neurosurgery.

-It's for a skull base tumor, right?
-Yes.

How long do you think it'll take?

Since our ace Professor Chae is doing it,

-I think it'll take about 13 hours.
-That's very fast.

SURGERY DURATION

Hello, everyone.

I'm doing this alone again,

but a competent fellow is here
to assist me.

What's that word?

Right, "honor." I'm honored.

Seriously, thanks.
You're the best, Dr. Jong.

Treat yourself to some expensive pastries
when we're done.

Let's save another precious life today.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Let's begin. Scalpel.

PROFESSOR KIM JUN-WAN

Mr. No Jin-hyeok!

No Jin-hyeok?

He had surgery in 2015.

What? Why is he back?

Isn't he the college student who got
the ASD surgery from me four years ago?

Yes, the one you treated
at Kangwoon Medical Center.

He looks like a different person
in a suit.

What's going on? I'm worried.

Anyway, let him in.

CREDIT CARD APPLICATION

Doctor.

You fixed the hole in my heart.

Please help me out...

just once more.

KIM JUN-WAN

Thank you!

Thank you.

I hope all goes well.

You see, I just want to be able to buy
clothes for my baby in advance.

Will my baby become BTS or Blackpink?

Sharp.

Pardon me? Who?

Let's say Sharp.

Sharp? Who's that?

Oh, you don't know Sharp.

Then...

How about ZAM?

Let's say Akdong Musician, AKMU.

All right.

YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

Hey, shall we pick up something
on the way?

Let's just order in. It's a hassle.

SURGERY DURATION

-I hope all goes well.
-Thanks, bye. Get some rest.

A cold cup of iced Americano, please.

I'd like a warm cup of hot latte.

Pay for mine, please.

SURGERY DURATION

We're done.

It went well, right?

Excellent work, Professor Chae.

You, too.

Wrap it up for me.

You guys are still here?

-Yes.
-Yes.

-Gosh.
-I told you several times

that you could leave and go home.
I'm impressed.

-What's your name?
-I'm Jang Yun-bok.

I'm Jang Hong-do.

-What's your relationship?
-We're twins.

Fraternal twins.

-Professor.
-Yes?

By any chance...

Do you go to Myeongjin Church
in Sanggye-dong?

I do.

You're the prima donna
of the choir, right?

-I'm known as the prima donna?
-Yes.

We're in the church band.

You're so famous.

What's she famous for?

She dances so passionately
while singing hymns.

People say it's because
she's stressed out from work--

Get going, guys. Go home.
It's time to go home.

-Bye, guys.
-Bye.

-Take care.
-Take care.

Well done, Professor.

And I'm sorry. You have to operate
on two patients in a row because of me.

I'm really sorry.

No worries. I have some time
before the next one.

We're getting ready for the surgery.

Professor Min said he'll come down
when we're ready.

I'll call you when we start
working on the sphenoid sinus.

You should get some sleep.

-Seok-min.
-Yes.

Before you go into the OR,

you should go apologize to him.

Go apologize to him first.

Okay.

I'll go upstairs right now
and apologize to Professor Min.

Not Professor Min.

Go apologize to the patient...

or I won't let you into the OR.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I sincerely apologize.

I hope the rest goes well.

The tumor's been removed,

and it looks like we managed
to preserve the pituitary stalk as well.

Seok-min.

Come here.

Yes.

-Dr. Yong.
-Yes, Professor Chae.

Do not talk like that.

Okay.

Wasn't it because of your thesis?

Why did you talk like it was
for the patient?

If you talk to any patient
in that tone again,

I will not forgive you.

-Okay.
-Do you understand?

Yes, understood. I'm sorry.

Why isn't Seok-hyeong answering his phone?

Song-hwa, too.

Seok-hyeong is seeing outpatients,

and Song-hwa has surgery.

Gosh, Chae Song-hwa. She's amazing.

That's right.
She's not like you lazy-a*s quacks.

Ik-jun and I don't belong
to the same category.

You sure do.

You can't trust rich people.
They lie all the time.

He's not rich. He's dirt poor.
He still lives at your place.

-You promised me my own office.
-Prick.

-Prick.
-Total prick.

Hey, my office mate is a pro gamer.

Professor Ban plays FreeCell all day.

Actually, forget it.

Seok-hyeong has the worst one.

Have you seen his office?

Professor Ban plays FreeCell
all day anyway.

He's practically invisible,

so you do have
the whole office to yourself.

-I can't believe people call him Buddha.
-What about me?

Hey, you and I are like soul mates.

Soul mates, my a*s.

Hey, what's up?

What's the systolic pressure?

What about norepinephrine?

Use vasopressin.

If you still can't get it back up,
call me. I'll come right away.

Good for you. You have a resident.

You guys do, too.

Right, I do. Dr. Long Winter.

When will I get to work
with the high and lofty Dr. Jang Gyeo-ul?

You've never worked with Dr. Jang, right?

You have?

Yes, I've dealt with her a few times as
there have been many emergency cases.

-She's not my cup of tea.
-Really?

She seems like the quiet type,
but she's hardworking.

What's wrong with the patient?

He's a homeless man,
found at a construction site,

and got frostbite.

His leg is rotting.



I have to take your temperature.
Hold on, please.

Hui-su.

Stay still, please.

Of course, she's hardworking.
Every resident works hard.

Jeong-won.

Oh, everyone's here.

What's up?

Do you know Daddy-Long-Legs?

What?

-Not sure.
-You don't know?

He's famous at the hospital
you used to work at.

Really?

What about him?

Oh, my friend who's a TV show director
wants to interview him.

No, thanks.

What? What do you mean?
Who are you to say no?

I mean, he'll say no.

You said you didn't know him.

Well, I do know him.
Anyway, he won't do it. No way.

All right.

Hey.

Yes.

Really? I'll be right there.

Wait, call Dr. Jang Gyeo-ul as well
just in case.

What's going on?

It was Dr. Bae.

A homeless man just came in
with a severely frostbitten leg.

He stayed at a construction site
with that leg for months.

The leg is rotting
due to edema caused by frostbite.

But the leg is totally...

What?

Apparently, it's covered with maggots.

What do we do?

How will we take them off his leg?

You're here.

He got injured at a construction site.

The skin started rotting due to frostbite.
It's infested with maggots now.

I've never seen so many maggots.

We have to remove them
to be able to disinfect the skin.

-Where's the suction unit?
-I'll go find it.

Dr. Bae, let's use tweezers...

She's quite something.

YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

-You're staying late?
-Yes.

My high school friend's surgery
for her metastatic tumor is tomorrow.

I want to read up on it.

Get going.

Bye.

Take it easy.

All right.

Is the day shift better
than the night shift?

No, the night shift is better.

Seok-min, do we have the consent
for Gal Ba-ram's surgery?

-Your high school friend, right?
-Yes.

No, her husband is not here yet.

The surgery's tomorrow. What do we do?

-Ma'am.
-Yes?

Are you that fascinated by me?

What?

It must be fascinating
to see a woman with a fake breast.

No, I don't think that way.

How could you say that?

But you're always peeping at me.

Am I a monkey in the zoo or what?

Is it fun for you?

It's because you're pretty.

I think you're very pretty.

But I only have one breast.

I'm not pretty at all.

You're still pretty.

Like a beautiful flower.

Who cares about only having one breast?

You're beautiful because you're young.

She's right.

As for old people like us, even if
we get surgery and walk out of here

feeling completely healthy,

we'll never look pretty.

That's right.

I'd gladly lose both my breasts

if I could go back to 20 years ago

and look as young as you do.

No, don't say that.

I'm not young.

You are young.

If I were your age,
I'd divorce my husband.

I'd just travel the world
and do everything I want to do

while living my life to the fullest.

Gosh, I'm just way too old for that now.

My legs hurt, and I can't see well.

Even my head hurts.

My gosh, you look even prettier
when you smile.

Everyone who is young looks so beautiful.

When you're that young,
you just naturally radiate beauty.

Honey...

Honey.

-Honey.
-Honey...

Honey, what do I do?

What if I die?

What do I do? I don't want to die.

You won't. You won't die, honey.

I will...
I absolutely won't let that happen.

I'm sorry, honey. I'm so sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Honey, I'm sorry.

Are you envious?

-You should date.
-I'm sorry, honey.

No, I don't want to. I like being single.

Her husband is here,
so we can have him sign the consent.

Okay.

Later, not now. Goodness.

FUNERAL NOTICE
FOR THE DEATH OF JU JONG-SU'S WIFE

We go to funerals fairly often these days.

It means that we're at that age now.

Mr. Ju...

I mean, Director Ju.
He must be devastated.

-They had a happy marriage, right?
-Yes, a very happy one.

I heard he didn't leave his wife alone
even for a minute

for two to three weeks before her death.

FUNERAL HOME

All of you must be busy.
You should get back to work.

No, it's okay.
Did you get some sleep, sir?

He didn't.
He's been greeting the guests all day.

I dragged him here.
Jong-su, you need to eat something.

I'm fine. I can't really eat anything
right now.

Let me know if there's anything you need.

Are you not drinking?

No, we're good. Don't worry about us, sir.

You saw Jeong-won many times
when he was little. Just talk casually.

Exactly. Please talk casually to me, sir.

Gosh, how could I?

Our hospital can stay afloat
thanks to these doctors here.

Maybe at the hospital,

but you're his mom's friend here,
so please talk casually.

It'll make us more comfortable.

-Shall I?
-Yes, please.

So the five of you are best friends?

Yes, we went to school together.

We were all in different classes
but somehow ended up becoming friends.

-My gosh, how adorable.
-Adorable, my foot.

They're all still single because they want
their parents to worry about them.

-I'm divorced.
-And I'm married.

Okay, I like you two.

You're all good-looking.
How did nothing happen between you guys?

Pardon?

Why would you do that?

Why disturb the calm water?

Did I?

Oh, romance?

Has there been any?

I told Song-hwa I had feelings for her
but got rejected.

Seriously?

-When?
-When?

I don't even remember yesterday.

On her birthday in our freshman year.

I told her I had feelings for her
only to be rejected.

-How did she reject you?
-She said she liked someone else.

Gosh, that's such a cookie-cutter answer.

We hear that all the time.
"I like someone else."

-No, I really did.
-It was like that back in my day too.

It's hard to say to the person's face
that you just don't like him.

-That's right.
-Totally.

-That's true, but...
-Let's change the topic.

Hey, I'm sorry.

No, I mean... Never mind.

I still want to be friends with you.

I don't want things to get awkward
between us because of this.

Come on. Say something.

I'm okay.

Song-hwa, I'm sorry for bringing up
such nonsense.

Gosh, it wasn't nonsense.

Anyway, let's forget about it.

It's my birthday today, right?

That's great.
Let's cause some trouble today.

Hey, let's go. Come on.

Come on. Hurry.

Just today, okay? I'll make an exception
because it's your birthday.

Okay!

Is it because of the cold weather?

Why do couples with their arms locked

Make me teary-eyed?

Do they remind me of the good old days?

Do I want to meet someone new?

Or do I just miss my ex?

If you know someone nice
Set me up with them

Someone who's like water and fire

Someone who will truly love me, only me

I want someone who's mature and faithful

If you know someone nice
Set me up with them

Even love requires practice

I want someone caring
Who notices even small details

Someone with a lot of
Relationship experience

I have wounds and scars

So I don't feel comfortable dating someone
With no past whatsoever

I want to be consoled in the arms

Of someone with pretty eyes who has cried

Because of a breakup at least once

If only I could lean on the shoulder

Of someone with beautiful hands

And forget my loneliness

Someone with beautiful hands

And forget my loneliness

MOM

-Hi, Mom.
-Happy birthday, sweetheart.

Thanks for bringing me into this world.

Had I known it'd be this lovely to have
a daughter, I would've had another one.

It's not too late. I wouldn't mind
a sibling who's 40 years my junior.

Your dad's running away.

Get back here. Talk with your daughter.

Mom, I'm driving now.
I'll call you when I get to the hospital.

All right.

If you know someone nice
Set me up with them

I want someone who...

TWO WEEKS AGO

-Let's talk outside.
-Let's just talk here.

Believe me.
It was just that day, only once.

Whether it was just that day or not,
I don't care.

Just tell Song-hwa.

I said, tell Song-hwa.

Whether it's just a fling
or a serious affair,

she needs to know. Am I wrong?

Don't make a fool of her. Call her now.

Okay, I'll sort it out by myself.

-Shall I tell her for you?
-I said, I'll do it.

You're going overboard.

This is between me and Song-hwa.

Who are you to tell me what to do?

Do you have feelings for her?

I know you two are close,

but this is too much.

-I bet you have no friends.
-I have friends, of course.

But you're a guy, and she's a girl.

So what?

You're so old-fashioned.

Seriously, Song-hwa is too good for you.

What if you can do only the things
you want to do for one day?

How about we try to live today like that?

May is the perfect month for that.

Dr. Jang, who's that? Your boyfriend?

-Even his photo makes you that happy?
-Yes, it does.

What do you like so much about him?

He's not authoritative,
and he always does his work.

I like him.

Don't cry.
You've been holding out so well.

I didn't think you'd be like this,
but you're actually very charming.

Guys, have you heard?

-What?
-What?

Professor Yang, why didn't you tell us?

About what?

Professor,
why didn't you answer your phone?

-Go check in on Ik-jun.
-Why?

I think something's up,
but he won't tell me.

Hey, Jeong-won. What is this?

Gosh, what is with him?

He has no feelings.

You prick, you'd better come
to your senses before I beat you up.

What did you just say?
