[Doctor Romantic]

[Special Episode]

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Kang... Dong Joo.

What could this be?

[Supreme Court of Korea]

Oh? The results of Doctor Nam Do Il's
case have finally come out?

Oh man. Good work!

You too, sir.

Oh, your surgery just ended?
Great timing!

There are letters for the two of you.

For you, Doctor Nam.

And this is for you,
Doctor Kang Dong Joo.

All right, which one of you
wants to open theirs first?

You're just going to leave?

Doctor Nam?
Doctor Kang Dong Joo?

Hey, Kang Dong Joo!
What are you up to?

Can you knock when you enter, Senior?

What's that?
Did you get a letter?

No.

I have to go to the ICU.

What could it be?

It appeared to be
a letter from overseas.

From the USA.
The United States! America!

The United States?

He got a letter from the United States?

But why is he hiding it from me?

You didn't see where in the
States it was from, did you?

Oh, no. I received another letter
alongside his, you see.

A letter from the Supreme Court
came too. For Doctor Nam Do Il.

Oh my, really?

Was there finally a ruling
regarding his case?

About seven years ago, a 10-year-old
girl died in the middle of surgery.

She had a supracondylar fracture,
but she died due to fat embolism.

Her parents said it was the
anesthesiologist's fault and sued him.

He lost during the first round
of legal proceedings

but the verdict was overturned
during the second round.

And that's how the case ended up
going to the Supreme Court.

[The appeal has been dismissed.]

After the accident, he quit working
at Geosan and became a freelancer.

Thanks to his being acquainted with
Director Yeo, he ended up coming here.

And after that,
Doctor Nam called Teacher Kim here.

And Teacher Kim called me here.

And as for me, it was
Nurse Oh who called me here.

I never called you here.
You just followed me.

I see.

So the reason you and Teacher Kim
came to Doldam in the first place

was because of Doctor Nam Do Il,
when it comes down to it. Right?

And then we met you.

Oh my, you didn't know?

What do you mean?

The first surgery that Teacher Kim
did here was the one he did on you.

What?

It was me?

We have a patient!

This way, Doctor!

- Here?
- Okay.

- What do we do?
- What's wrong?

The doctor who's supposed
to be on duty isn't here.

I can take care of
performing the surgery.

Have you ever gone into an OR before?

I'm sorry, but no. I haven't.

All right. Then give her some
normal saline to hydrate her

and call Doctor Nam Do Il right away.

Yes, Doctor!

It's me, Doctor Teacher Kim.

We have a patient who
needs surgery immediately.

I really need you right now,
Ms. Oh Myung Shim.

Can you come here?

Oh, okay. Please hurry, then!

That was the beginning of our time at
Doldam, for both me and Teacher Kim.

Everything has a beginning.

And behind every beginning...

is a cause and a motive.

Whether that may be from oneself...

or from someone else.

Beginnings create a sense of
direction for one's life to take

and those small routes add up
to create the map of one's life.

The beginning of everything.

But could coincidences and fate,
which are stronger than that

possibly exist?

Hey.

It's been a while.

Wait, you...

[Appendix: The Beginning of Everything]

Wait...

How... did you end up here?

This place is nicer
than I would've imagined.

And here I thought the building
was probably collapsing in.

I've heard rumors about you
since early this year, Senior.

And I heard about the transplant surgery
for the Chairman of the Foundation.

And then, I found out that
you were at Doldam Hospital.

How do you do?

You still have things like that?

Yeah, I still listen to it.

Music sure is fascinating.

Some songs have a way of taking you back.

Right?

Yeah.

When did you come back?

It's been about three years now.
Or has it been four?

I'm starting to get a
bit old too, aren't I?

You're the same as ever.

Well, maybe a little.

I know you're lying to me,
but it's still nice to hear.

It means that I've gotten quite old
if that feels good to hear, though.

What's this?
You even make coffee now?

Yeah. It's kind of a hobby.

A hobby?

You used to hate
things like that, though!

Really?

Watching movies,
searching for the best places to eat

and sitting in a cafe while drinking
coffee and chatting, in particular.

You hated everything like that.

But now you make your own coffee?

Did I, now?

You made me feel so self-conscious
whenever we went on dates.

I could write an entire
thesis about that.

Was I really like that?

I haven't ever seen you
laugh like that, either.

But, um, what brings you here?

I'm sure you didn't come here just
to see me because you missed me.

There's a person I met in Joongguk-dong
during my volunteer activities.

Yeah?

They were diagnosed with
a pheochromocytoma.

They were also diagnosed with
malignant hypertension after some tests.

I wanted to ask you to
perform surgery on them.

Well, that's not a
difficult surgery to do.

Why don't they just get the surgery done
by the doctor who diagnosed them?

Because... to be honest,
the patient is HIV-positive.

You're really not going to eat?

No, I'm not.

It's been three minutes now.

What's with him?
Did something happen?

I think he's been like that all day now.

He was looking at something that
looked like a letter this afternoon.

Maybe he got some bad news, or something?

A letter?

It appeared to be
a letter from overseas.

From the USA.
The United States!

America!

Everyone!

Big news!

Do we have an emergency patient?

It's a female. A female.

A female patient?

No, that's not it!

A female guest has come
to see Teacher Kim!

And a very pretty one, at that!

- What?
- What?

A pretty woman?

I'm telling you, yes!

This person with a ridiculous amount
of beauty has come to see Teacher Kim.

And she's in his office right now!

Really? They're really going
to leave while they're eating?

Is it that fascinating to them that
Teacher Kim has a woman visiting him?

Right?

I can't really see.

She doesn't seem like
she's your average guest.

Teacher Kim is calling for us.

Teacher Kim is?

I didn't get a text, though.

He wants us to go
to the director's office.

The director's office?

- I'll be back!
- Sure.

- Doctor.
- Huh?

Um...

Hello...

The patient is HIV-positive?

By HIV, do you mean AIDS?

The patient's blood pressure is too high
so they need surgery right away

or they'll be in grave danger.

They've gone to multiple
hospitals to try and get surgery

but they've been rejected
for one reason or another

and have asked us for our help.

I think that we should refuse as well.

They have AIDS!

Imagine what would happen if word spread
that an AIDS patient had surgery here.

We'll never get another patient again!

Section Chief Jang.
AIDS patients are patients, too.

Either way, we shouldn't
do this, Teacher Kim.

Director.

I agree with
Section Chief Jang, Teacher Kim.

We won't do an open surgery.
We'll do it via a laparoscopy.

We'll put shield masks on and
be a bit more careful than normal.

If we take those measures,
there should be no problems, Director.

No matter how careful we are,
accidents could happen at any time.

What if we get pricked by the same needle
that was used to extract their blood?

If you start getting scared already
because of what-ifs

you'll never be able to
treat any patients at all.

I'll tell you something that
definitely will happen, then.

If we do this operation, we'll have
to sanitize the entire place afterwards

and we won't be able to use one of
our two operating rooms for two days.

What'll we do about patients
who need surgery then?

Hey, Do In Bum.

Based on what you're saying,
they can't get surgery anywhere in Korea.

I'm more worried about your wrist
than anything else, Doctor.

You'll have you move

the muscles in your fingers and wrist
a lot more to perform a laprascopy.

I'll worry about the issue
regarding my wrist.

At any rate, Director, this surgery
is only possible with your consent.

Please give us your permission.

No. I'm opposed to it, if only for the
other patients coming to this hospital.

Director Yeo.

It's taking a lot longer
than I'd expected.

What could they possibly be talking
about that's taking them so long?

How did it go?

Bring that patient here
early tomorrow morning.

And bring whatever medical
records they may have, too.

I'll schedule a surgery date
for them as soon as I can.

It's because of that woman!

It's because of her that Teacher Kim's
sense of judgment has become clouded!

Section Chief Jang!

I mean, why else would he agree,
considering that wrist of his?

Furthermore!

It makes no sense that he's
operating on an AIDS patient!

Section Chief Jang.

Please go to him and try to
convince him one more time!

I don't think that Teacher Kim
made the wrong decision.

- Nurse Oh!
- Director Yeo even gave him permission!

So stop it, already.

But... oh, geez!

Hey, shouldn't we step up
and try to stop him?

He's not the type to listen to
people who try to stop him.

I mean, you're right. It's not like
Teacher Kim's wrist is in good shape.

If you're that worried,
you do the surgery!

You're better at doing laparoscopies
than I am, after all!

Are you insane?
I'd never go in there.

I'd never do it.

What's the matter?

Senior.

Huh?

Oh, sorry.
I'm just so tired.

So, what was the meeting about?

We have an HIV-positive patient
and they have a pheochromocytoma.

Teacher Kim said that he'd schedule
the surgery for tomorrow if he can.

Oh, I see.

What's the matter?
Are you ill?

Oh... I don't know.

I'm just not feeling well today.

I'll have to turn in early
and get some rest.

I'll be heading out now.

Are the rumors true, Nurse Oh?

I heard that a patient with AIDS
is getting surgery here.

Tensions have been running high since
this morning because of those rumors.

What? They're operating on
an HIV-positive patient?

Yes, Chief. I can tolerate
everything else, but not this!

Wow, goodness!

I knew that he did some
crazy things, but...

I think they're here, Nurse Oh.

The patient with HIV.

What do we do, Nurse Oh?

See? She's just overflowing
with beauty, just as I said, right?

Hey. Shush.

This way.

It's all right.

Huh? Huh?

Isn't that Lee Young Jo?

What's the matter, sir?

Do you know her?

Of course. We graduated from
the same class and department.

She's... a doctor?

She used to be a
general surgeon, like me.

She was so hardcore and
serious when it came to work.

She joined something like
Doctors Without Borders

so she was usually abroad.
When did she come back to Korea?

Really? Doctors Without Borders?

She was quite famous a while back.

She dated Teacher Kim
back in college, you see.

What? She and Teacher Kim
used to date? In college?

Yes, Teacher Kim?

Understood. I'll come right now.

Yes?

Her BP is 220/120.

Her BP is a lot higher than I'd thought.

- Any medication she's taking?
- Two types of beta blockers.

You used two medications for her
blood pressure and it's still so high?

What about hospitals?
How many have you been to?

I've been to five places in person,
and I've called a lot more than that.

Does the patient speak Korean?

Yeah, quite well.

Excuse me, ma'am. Your blood pressure
is a lot higher than we'd thought.

If your blood pressure is this high
even with medication

you're in a lot of danger.

We'll have to do your surgery
right away. Is that all right?

Nurse Oh.

Yes?

Give her some medication,
and prepare the OR.

And please upload this video file.

Yes, sir.

Would you like to come with me?

it's all right. I'll stay here
until your surgery is over.

All right.

Her condition is worse than I'd imagined.

And we'll be at our wit's end
if she has a brain aneurysm.

I know.

At any rate, thanks.

For hurrying to perform surgery on her.

What is it that you said about thanking
people for unnecessary things?

Useless chatter.

That's right.

Your memory is as good as ever.

All right.

So we've decided to operate
on her this afternoon.

I won't choose an assistant.
I'll take volunteers.

Which one of you wants to do it?

I'll do it, sir.

But will your wrist really be able to
withstand performing this procedure?

If not, I can hold the laparoscope.

It'd probably be best for me
to not move my wrist too much

but we're not in a situation to
be worrying about that now.

Don't forget to wear two
pairs of surgical gloves.

And make sure that all garments
worn into the room are disposed of.

Yes, I will.

Okay. Call me over as soon
as everything is ready.

Yes, Doctor.

If you're really unlucky...

she could end up transmitting
the disease to you.

Aren't you scared?

Not really.

I don't think I'm that unlucky.

Did you manage to get
some rest last night?

Yeah, of course I did.

Are you angry at me, or something?

Me? Why would I be?

Did you do something that
I should be angry about?

No, it... just seemed like
you were a bit mad.

Well, I'm not.

Hey, Doctor Yoon Seo Jung!

I have a jerk over at bed number 10,
and they're killing me!

They've been like that
for 10 minutes now.

Oh, really?

I'll go over to them.

Yeah, Li Dan? It's Mom.
(Speaking Chinese)

Yes, I'm fine. I'm healthy.

I really miss you, Li Dan.

Really? You're competing
in an art competition?

Wow, I'm so proud of you, my daughter!

Yes, yes.

Of course.
I'll make tons of money here

and buy you the piano you want
and lots of books, too.

So make sure you obey your
grandmother until I get back, okay?

Doctor.

What is she saying?

I think she's speaking with her daughter.

And I don't think her daughter
knows that she's ill.

The most dangerous part of this surgery
is when we remove the tumor.

So at that moment, Do Il, you have to--

Don't even worry about it, man.
I'll make sure to keep her stabilized.

Okay. If we get past that with no
issues, we won't have any problems.

Doctor.

The patient is in the operating room.

- Oh, really?
- We'll get ready and head in.

Yeah. Let's go, Kang Dong Joo.

- Yes, sir.
- Get ready.

Yes, sir.

Allow me to ask you
one last time, Teacher Kim.

Please stop now.

I say this with hope that you are not
putting your professional environment

in danger due to your personal life.

Please, do not do this surgery.

To be honest, it's not like you
would've done this surgery anyway

if Lee Young Jo hadn't asked you
to do this as a personal favor.

No, you certainly wouldn't have.

That's right.

I did make a personal request of him.

Because it looked like someone
was going to die if I didn't!

That's why I came to seek out
my ex from more than 10 years ago

and make a difficult request of him.

Is that so terrible of me?

It's not terrible, per se. It's just...

At any rate, she's a patient
who is HIV-positive--

I know that.

I'm sure that it's very scary to
operate on a patient with HIV, yes.

But do you know what's
even scarier than that?

It's your discrimination.

I'm sure you all need to take
precautions just in case, and all.

But saying that you won't do what you
must do just because of what-ifs...

is quite a serious problem,
don't you think?

Don't just approach the
situation with fear.

I ask that you try to see the
bigger picture here, instead.

Please, I beg of you.

Um, you needn't be so humble...

All right, I'll be heading in now
since the patient awaits.

We'll catch up after the surgery.

Yes, this is the ER at Doldam Hospital.

Doctor.

Yeah?

We have a patient with bullet wounds!

What?

We'll put him in the hybrid room!

Let's move him over!

He was hit by stray pellets
while trying to catch a wild boar.

- Pellets from a shotgun?
- Yes, they were.

- What are his vitals?
- His BP is 90/40. With 140 bpm.

Get two lines in him and give him
one liter of full-drop normal saline!

Request two packs of RBC as an emergency
and give him some antibiotics.

And give the patient in bed eight
50 milligrams of it, too!

Yes, Doctor!

Sir, please calm down. We'll take good
care of you, so please calm down.

I'll be taking a look at your wound now.

How many pellets does he have in him?

He has wounds going from
his thigh to his abdomen, Doctor.

I think there are at least 20 in total.

Get the FAST.

There's some fluid
welled up in his abdomen.

I think he has some organ damage, too.

What are his vitals?

100/70, with 120 bpm.

Okay, let's get a CT scan of him first.
Then hurry and send him to the OR.

Yes, sir.

All of you have your protective goggles
and disposable gowns on, right?

And make sure you have
two pairs of gloves on, as well.

Later, after we disinfect the OR,
we'll lock it down for 24 hours.

All right, I'll put you under now.
Just think of it as taking a nap.

120 milligrams of propofol and
40 milligrams of rocuronium, please.

Yes, sir.

This is a disposable laryngoscope,
but it's nicer than I'd expected!

Its light is pretty bright, too!

Most people are starting to use
disposable ones nowadays.

You know about the incident
where newborns all got infections

due to being exposed to the
same laryngoscope, don't you?

It's a tool that is quite
invasive for the patient

and only those who are trained in
using it are allowed to buy them, so...

Oh, yes.

I heard that you got a letter
from the Supreme Court.

The result was a good one, right?

Yes. But winning the case
doesn't make me feel that great.

But still, it's quite a relief.

Oh, and I heard that you got a letter
from the U.S., Doctor Kang.

Pardon?

Didn't Doctor Yoon ask you about it?
She heard about it when she was with me.

Oh, Doctor Nam!
It's Teacher Kim.

Hey, Do Il. Did you already
put that patient under?

Yes, I just finished.
All you have to do is come in.

What is it? What's wrong?

We just got a patient in here
with shotgun wounds.

I think he has about 20 pellets in him.

Hey, Dong Joo!

- Yes, Doctor?
- Come over here for a second.

Yes, sir. I will.

Yes, Doctor?

Hey, Dong Joo. You take care
of this gunshot wound patient.

Confirm where the pellets are exactly
after the CT scan results come out

and extract them in the operating room.

There's lead in those pellets
that could poison the organs.

So don't waste any time,
and get them out as soon as possible.

But I've never dealt with a patient
with such injuries before.

Really?

But you have no experience
with pheochromocytomas, either.

No, I don't.

What should I do, then?

I'll go into the OR with him.

I have a lot of experience
with bullet wounds.

I encountered people with bullet wounds
every day where I was stationed.

I'll assist him
and guide him through it.

That's okay with you, right?

Yeah, sure.

All right, then. I'll take care of the
patient with the pheochromocytoma.

I'll leave it to you, then.

I'll leave myself in your
capable hands, then.

Likewise.

Hey, Do In Bum.

Why are you here?

I'll hold the laparoscope, sir.

I think that I'd be better off doing it
than you in your current state.

Have you ever operated on
a pheochromocytoma before?

Yes, once.

I'm not lying this time.
I really have operated on one.

So, may I operate on this patient?

There were 14 pellets
visible in the CT scan.

Five in the abdomen, three in the pelvis.
And the rest are in the thigh.

It may appear that way in the CT scan
and the x-ray, but there could be more.

Be prepared.

Yes, Doctor.
I'll get started, then.

I'll start with the abdomen.

Knife!

Gauze.

Gouge.

Retractor.

One more, please.

I'll get started now, then.

Scalpel.

Trocar.

Scope.

Hold this.

I'll be inserting three
more trocars. Scalpel.

Gouge.

Let's take a look here.

Found it. Forceps, please.

Please count these for me.

Yes, Doctor.

We'll have to cut through
this section of the bowel.

Oh, this one is...

Looks like it's lodged near an artery.

Please prepare some ties.

Hemostat.

Doctor, you're my assistant!

Yes, I'll keep that in mind.

Hemostat.

- Gouge.
- Sponge stick.

GIA, please.

Specimen out.

Speculum.

Scissors.

One more, please.

GIA.

We have five in total.

No, we only have four.
One more left.

I think it was near the kidney.

Teacher Kim's first love?

Yes.

And I was wondering if you knew
anything about how they met

and why they broke up.

Have you heard anything regarding that?

Well, no. Not really.

I know a thing or two
about their history.

Bu Yong Joo and Lee Young Jo
would fight whenever their eyes met.

They'd get into arguments
all the time over nothing

and there were a couple of times when
they flipped tables over while fighting.

I thought, "Ah, one of them is
going to end up dead sooner or later."

But those two became
inseparable before I knew it.

Oh, what's with this
sense of deja vu?

I know about a couple that formed
under similar circumstances, too.

But, um, why did they
end up breaking up?

Oh.

Firstly, I think they grew apart after
Teacher Kim went to Cleveland for a bit.

And then Lee Young Jo went abroad
to join Doctors Without Borders.

That led to them breaking up eventually.

I see.

So people end up breaking up
when they're far apart.

I'll tie up the adrenal vein now.

Hemoclip.

Metzenbaum scissors.

Drain tube.

Be careful.
This right here is the adrenal artery.

Hemoclip.

One more.

Her blood pressure
will suddenly drop a lot

but don't be too alarmed.

Is she really okay with her
blood pressure like that?

I think it's dropping too much.

110/70. It does seem like it
dropped a lot, but it's okay for now.

Leave this to me
and continue with what you're doing.

Yes, Doctor.
Another tube, please.

Gouge.

Kelly scissors.

Doctor Kang.
Teacher Kim is calling.

Yeah, it's me.
How's it going?

We're looking for a pellet
somewhere near the kidney.

Here it is.

It just managed to avoid
hitting the kidney.

There's a small injury here,
but we can fix it.

How many have you extracted so far?

We have all five pellets that
landed in his abdomen.

This patient seems to be extremely lucky.

He managed to avoid taking
any bullets through his arteries.

Keep up the good work.

I've removed it completely.
Please give me the bag.

There we go.

Removing it now.

Scope, please.

There's no bleeding.

Okay. It looks nice.

Great job.

Make sure you stay focused
until the end and finish this up well.

Yes, Doctor.

I'll put the drain tube in
and finish things up.

How's it going?

We just extracted the eighth pellet
from the patient's pelvis.

We'll check it over one more time,
and head down to the thigh.

Will you be okay without an
orthopedic surgeon here?

I don't think there are any
deeply lodged in here.

But we can't just
dismiss the possibility.

Scalpel.

Who cares about orthopedic versus
general surgeons when we're in a hurry?

We'll just have to open him up
everywhere ourselves.

Is that how they do things over there?

We don't have CT machines
or x-ray machines, either

so you just have to open them up to see.

Thankfully, if there's
a military base nearby

we can borrow their metal detector.

You use a metal detector
to try and find bullets?

Wow, what a great idea.

Well, we have tons of people
dying on us every day over there.

So you have to deal with
situations as they come.

There's no such thing as
respect for human life

or human dignity over there.

All people care about is getting
through every day without dying.

Can you believe that such a world exists

and that such a world coexists
with your own, right now?

- How many do we have now?
- 13 in total.

Now we have 14 pellets in total.
We've removed all of them.

I'll finish things up here, then.

Suture number three.

Your suturing skills are top-notch.

Looks like you taught
your disciple well, Teach.

I just learned by watching him.

Then you truly are skilled.

Thank you.

- Cut.
- Cut.

- Cut.
- Cut.

Young Jo.

Want to get a cup of coffee with me?

Sure.

Here. Drink up.

That's good.

Yeah?

The last region I
volunteered in was bombed.

All of my co-workers died.

But... strangely enough,
I didn't shed any tears for them.

I was... just angry.

And I thought, "Why'd this happen to me?"

"What did I do wrong?"

Then I grew to hate
and fear other people.

This isn't how I'd wanted
things to be when I'd started.

No matter how much I think about it...

I think that I've lost my way.

If you'd really lost your way...

you wouldn't have come here
with that patient.

That was just out of habit
more than anything.

Because that's what I'd always done.

So I just did what I always did.

Because I felt that I had to
do that, at the very least.

And...

I did want to see you, too.

What about you, Senior?

- Are you okay here?
- Me?

Well, I don't know.

I used to think it was a
waste of time to watch movies

and go around looking
for good places to eat...

and drink coffee with
a woman I fancy like this.

I used to be such an idiot.

But I'm doing pretty well for myself now
despite all that, don't you think?

You think so?

Yeah, you're right.

Do you need my shoulder?

Will you lend it to me for a bit?

How did we...

let all those years slip past us?

Cheer up, Yoon Seo Jung.

You can do it.

Be chaste and play it cool.

What are you up to?

Oh, I was waiting for you, Senior.

I have something to talk to you about.

Oh, really? So do I.

I have something to
discuss with you, too.

What is it?

Want to go on a date?

A... date?

Where?

- Let's go.
- What?

Oh, right here! So that
Teacher Kim's name is visible!

Okay?

Oh, great timing!

Take a photo with us, Teacher Kim!

- No, I don't want to.
- Come on, just one!

- One, two, three!
- You're in this too?

- No, I'm not.
- Hey, stop it!

Make sure the camera is above our heads.

Yes, yes, yes.
45 degrees above!

One, two, three!

One over here now!

Okay.

One, two, three!

Section Chief!
Take a photo with us!

- Shall I?
- Yes!

One, two, three!

All right, I'll take one for you now!

Pretend that you're me!

Oh, I like that.
I'm taking it now!

All right,
I'm taking it now!

That's great! One more!

- Oh, are you taking a photo of me?
- One, two, three!

Stand with him. Yeah.

Nurse Oh! Let's take a photo!

Whoa, you can't do this here.

Nice! All right, everyone in!

One, two, three!

Wow!

Thank you, everyone!

Senior, what are you doing?

Let's go to the next spot now!

Director Yeo!
Take a photo with us!

One, two, three!

- Whoa.
- Okay, now.

- Senior.
- Oh, that spot is good.

It's perfect.

Isn't it a bit dark in here?

It'll come out well
even though it's a bit dark.

I'm taking it now.

One, two, three!

It looks great!
Here, look.

But can I ask you what you're doing?

I told you.
We're on a date.

What's going on?

What's with all these photos
all of the sudden?

I'm...

going to send you off.

But there were barely any photos
that we'd taken together!

And we'd never even gone
on a proper date together.

That's why.

Where are you sending
me off to, exactly?

To be honest, I saw your letter.

Um, I didn't mean
to look at it, though.

You left it in a book,
so I was wondering what it was.

So?

I don't want you to worry about me.

Just look at Teacher Kim
and Doctor Lee Young Jo!

They have deep feelings for one another
but respect each other's paths.

I think that we can manage that, too.

Geez, you're driving me crazy.

I told you,
there's no need to be like that!

I'm really okay.
I really am.

How much of that letter
did you actually read?

Just the name of the hospital
on the envelope.

Why?

Here, read it.

Not that.
This part, at the bottom.

Huh?

"Sorry"?

"Sorry."
That's right. "Sorry."

- You see that?
- What is this?

Is this... a rejection letter,
by any chance?

- Yes.
- Oh my.

Oh me, oh my.
You weren't accepted?

Oh, wow!

"Oh, wow"?

I hid it because I was embarrassed.

That's why I wasn't going to mention it.

But you misunderstood the situation and
were thinking of sending me packing?

So... you're not leaving, then?

Wait, no.
You can't go. Right?

Even if I'd been accepted,
I wouldn't have gone by myself.

Why would you send me away
when you like me?

You could come with me,
or stop me from going.

But still, if our professional
paths are dividing

I guess I could let you go.

It's not like you're living
100 or 1,000 more years.

We only have a couple
of decades left as it is

so why would we live apart?

If that's what's best
for each other, then...

we could do that.

You're so tacky and old-fashioned.

Acting that way is super
outdated now, you know!

You're the one who's tacky!

You know what they call
that nowadays?

"Shackling someone down."

Shackling someone down?

Haven't you ever heard the song
"Beautiful Imprisonment"?

All I know is that song is super old.

At any rate,
I'm really disappointed in you.

I love you.

Oh, whatever...

What did you just say?

- Whoa, whoa, wait!
- Huh?

I think you said something just now.

Like what?

I didn't really hear you properly.
Say it one more time, please?

No, I didn't say anything.
Oh, you mean "sorry"?

No, not "sorry."

- Doctor Kang?
- It didn't start with a "K."

- It started like, "I love."
- Nope.

- Oh, come on.
- I didn't!

- I didn't hear you.
- Nope!

- I didn't say anything. Really.
- Come on!

- I'm going to tickle you more.
- No.

- What did you say?
- Sorry? Sorry?

We have a patient!

Ow! Ow, my head!

Oh, that hurts!

- Doctor In Soo?
- Yes?

- Move him to the hybrid room.
- Will do!

Is the guardian of Joo Hye Jung here?

- Yes?
- Please come with me.

[Doldam Hospital]

You know...

How did you and Teacher Kim
first meet, Nurse Oh?

Can you keep a secret?

Of course.

At a police station.

A pol--

A police station?

Ms. Oh Myung Shim.

But still, how could you slap
a patient across the face?

[Winter 2002]
You're a nurse!

What, was I supposed to hold back
when he slapped my butt?

He may be a drunk,
good-for-nothing patient, but still!

How dare you?

- When did I ever do that?
- You did before!

- Do you have evidence?
- You did it before!

- Do you have evidence?
- Stop it!

But still, Doctor, you can't
go around punching people!

These two thugs ganged up on a kid,
so how could I do nothing?

They may be the worst
of the worst, but still!

All right, I get it.

Why did you get hit? Huh? Why?

Well, they asked me if
I had money all of the sudden.

Excuse me! I'm telling you,
this person is acting weird!

- Stop it!
- Pipe down!

I'm telling you, that person
over there looks like they're dying.

Hey, you, over there!

Hey! Hey, Mister!

Mister!

It's... it's blood! Blood!

Okay. You and you.
Let's move him.

Who are you?
Are you a doctor?

Yes, I am! So let's
hurry and move him!

- Yes, of course.
- Okay, slowly!

Be careful.

Don't you have a first aid kit here?

- Huh?
- Go find it!

Bring that here, please! Hurry!

Here, I don't have gauze,
but I have a handkerchief.

Okay.

Man, I need to treat this injury.

Take that off, please.

Here.

Put it there,
and put it on tightly, please.

Yes, I will.

He'll be in danger if we don't patch
him up soon due to the blood loss.

Where is the nearest hospital?

The hospital I work at is
about five minutes from here.

Do they have suture sets
and such over there, then?

Yes.

Could I perform an
arteriorrhaphy there, then?

Well, if you have the skills
to do that, then yes.

Well, of course I have the skills, lady.

What's your name?

I'm Nurse Oh Myung Shim.
What about you?

I'm Doctor Teacher Kim.

Oh... Teacher, huh? I see.
