Original subtitles

Who are you?

Yeong-seo.

Mom, that's him.

That's him.

Are you the one who did that to her?

You are a bad person.

A... A really bad person.

Take Yeong-seo and go!

-Dr. Kim. -Si-on, hurry!

Help!

Dr. Kim!

Dr. Kim!

Going somewhere?

If you kneel right where you are,

I won't break your legs.

If you resist,

you're dead.

Got it, you asshole?

-Dr. Kim! Are you okay? -Dr. Kim!

Are you okay?

Calm down.

I'm fine.

How is he?

Luckily, his organs are not damaged.

The knife just missed his organs and cut his abdominal wall.

It's such a relief. That was really close.

How could you be so reckless?

Dr. Park was more reckless.

Good job, Si-on.

What happened to the assailant?

Mr. Cho.

Why did you come? You should've stayed home.

What... What happened?

I'm sorry.

He has to come with us.

He caught the attacker. Why are you taking him like he's a criminal?

It's okay. Let's go.

No, I'll go, too

-There's no need. -What do you mean?

-Let's go, officer. -Okay. Let's go.

You're not hurt?

Are you still shaking?

I hit a person for the first time in my life.

How did it feel?

It felt good to watch the lead in a movie hit a bad guy.

So I thought I'd feel good hitting a bad guy.

But I don't.

Sometimes, violence is unavoidable.

Just like today.

If no one fought him, he would've gotten away.

But when violence is intentional or without a reason, it's wrong.

What you did today

was justified.

Hey, you!

If I'm surrounded by thugs in the middle of the night,

what would you do? Would you just watch?

They're trying to do bad things to me.

I go, "What are you doing? Help!" But you're alone. What would you do?

-I'd do this. -What?

How many cavities do you have?

-What? -I run a pawnshop.

I accept gold teeth.

I'll take the gold teeth

and pulverize everything else.

That's from The Man From Nowhere.

What if the thug has implants?

Oh, I didn't think that far.

Stop watching movies.

That's when you need to fight.

Harder.

How did you know?

Dr. Han called me.

He shouldn't have.

Must I always be the last to know?

I didn't want you to worry.

And if I found out later?

You know I'd get mad first then.

Sorry.

It's not a big deal.

Then what is?

Have you thought about how I'd feel if something happened to you?

There's something I always pray for.

Since God took Mom and Dad early,

I pray that my love stays by my side for a long time.

It's okay at other times,

but in serious situations, think of me a little.

Okay.

I won't do it again.

I don't believe you.

Yeong-seo.

You really don't have to worry anymore, okay?

We all beat up the bad guy for you.

Yeong-seo.

You have many more good people than bad people around you.

So don't worry from now on.

Doctor.

Is that doctor okay?

Oh, Dr. Kim?

He's okay.

That doctor

was like my dad.

Just like my dad.

I see.

We'll be your dads and uncles.

This is nonsense.

You caught the assailant, and what? Excessive force?

That's the law. What can we do?

Don't worry.

If they try to punish you, the Nurse Association will step in.

Where would you find a nurse like this?

After hours of questioning, I'm kind of hungry.

What? What? What do you want to eat? What?

Meat.

You know...

Yes?

How do you fight so well?

Against someone with a knife, no less.

It just happened.

-Are you a martial artist? -No.

I was the tough kid in town when I was little.

But still...

You know, there's something else I'm curious about.

What is it?

On the police report,

I saw that your Chinese characters for "Jeong-mi"

are the same as for "rice mill."

What does your name mean?

-It is "Jeong-mi" for "rice mill." -What?

My mom gave birth to me

at the rice mill when she went to ground some rice.

She couldn't get to the hospital, so the midwives...

So my dad named me "Jeong-mi."

Why are you laughing at my precious name?

I won't.

But you know...

Rather than having the association step in regarding the excessive force charge...

Yes?

Would you please clear me of the sexual harassment accusation first?

Please?

I'll think about it.

Please, eat.

Please, eat.

You eat.

SUNGWON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

What is it?

That's prickly.

What was that about?

Thank you for last night.

And congratulations on getting released.

But why the kiss...

Well, when I became an official resident, you kissed me on the cheek, too.

I thought you liked expressions of affection like that, so I reciprocated.

It's not that I like it. That felt weird!

Dr. Park.

Don't do that to me. I don't like it.

Your first kiss was from a man.

How do you know if that was my first kiss?

There goes the troublemaker deputy director.

The hospital had it coming.

It'll be better for us if it gets acquired.

Sungwon Foundation did so much to set this hospital up.

Why do you care?

Don't think about it and just wait.

What?

Are you upset you lost the branch director position?

Why are you bringing up ancient history?

Pick your side wisely this time.

I hear West Hamison's HR is tough.

Whatever. A surgeon just needs to operate well.

I'm leaving.

What's with him?

I thought it was a rumor, but I guess it was true.

I heard Mr. Kang is with the company trying to acquire us.

Dr. Choi and Ms. Lee were stabbed in the back big time.

But isn't it good for us? We get a Pediatric Surgery Center,

and once it becomes a children's hospital, we'll get more people--

They'll turn it into a for-profit hospital when the law changes.

-A for-profit hospital? -Yes, do you know what that is?

Yes, I read it in the papers. You can't get treated if you don't have money.

Children's treatments get more expensive, so parents will suffer.

It's not all bad. We can treat patients in better conditions.

Good or bad, it's not for us to judge.

The doctors have our perspective, and the patients will have their own.

That's why they just called an emergency meeting

for every assistant professor and up.

That's bad. That's really bad.

Dr. Kim, you should go home and rest.

For this? I'm fine.

You need to rest. You can't operate like this.

I can still diagnose patients. Don't worry.

Please listen to Dr. Cha and get some rest.

I said I'm fine.

You're such nags.

He should rest.

What now?

Is our hospital really being acquired?

Then what about Dr. Choi and Ms. Lee?

I don't know.

If it gets acquired and Dr. Choi leaves...

Then I'll have no reason to stay, either.

Then I'll leave, too.

Let's think about that later. Make sure the others don't get too upset.

I will. Don't worry.

Cha Yun-seo.

There is definitely a risk.

Maybe we should've looked into it more first.

I still can't figure it out.

I still can't figure it in.

What?

Were you trying to be funny? "In" and "out"?

Was it too corny?

Yes.

My bad.

Please be careful from now on.

We only gave them the conclusion without an explanation.

Even Boston Hospital may find the surgery difficult.

I'll ask the professor at Taeheung University Medical Center

who diagnosed him for help

I'll call him now, so go pick up the file.

Okay. I'll leave right now.

-Hello. -Are you going somewhere?

I'm going to Taeheung University Medical Center on an errand for Dr. Cha

I see.

It's pretty cold outside. Bring a jacket with you.

I have to go to Taebaek to get them.

I didn't bring any jackets.

Can you spare 30 minutes before you leave?

Where are you going?

I...

I'm fine.

Don't feel bad. Consider it a gift from your sister.

Come on.

It's too thin.

Dr. Choi told me not to be indebted to just anyone.

Am I "just anyone"?

Oh, this is nice.

Isn't it pretty?

It looks good on you.

Oh no. Did I take too much of your time?

You did not.

Thank you very, very much.

Dr. Park.

Thank you for saving Dr. Kim Do-han.

Not at all.

It's late. You should get going.

Thank you.

Cha Yun-seo speaking.

You sent documents about a VP shunt

to Boston Children's Hospital.

-How did you know that? -I received the e-mail.

You're no longer our deputy director, and yet you're getting those reports?

Of course I should, since the patient

is my son.

The method of operation you've proposed

was denied for being too high-risk.

Doesn't that mean

it's impossible?

The risk may be high, but it is not impossible.

The hospital in the States refused to do that surgery.

You think you can do it here?

You underestimate our pediatric surgeons.

Of course, there are objective differences.

Then there's no reason for me to be here.

Discuss the matter with Boston Hospital.

How could something like this happen?

But why do you think Boston refused to do the surgery?

They probably found the risk higher than we did.

Also,

if the patient isn't an American,

it can be problematic if something goes wrong.

-I don't think it's that dangerous. -Don't be so confident.

They may know something we don't.

What if other hospitals refuse to operate as well?

That's for Mr. Kang to worry about.

I'm back.

Did you get the file?

Yes.

Wait.

That looks new.

Oh, yes.

You went shopping on your way back?

What's this?

How embarrassing. You should've taken this off.

PRICE: 875,000 WON

It's 875,000 won?

What? It's that expensive?

What? You didn't buy it?

I mean...

What happened was...

So you just accepted this expensive gift?

I didn't know how much it cost.

I didn't know it'd be worth as much as 971 seaweed wraps.

And I kept saying I didn't want it.

But you wore it regardless.

Am I wrong?

You should refuse extravagant gifts.

Am I wrong?

And you...

If you need clothes, you should tell me.

-Why did you tell Ms. Yoo-- -Excuse me Dr. Cha.

It was wrong for me to receive such an expensive gift,

but I don't understand why you're so upset.

Hey. It's because I don't want you to ask just anyone--

Ms. Yoo isn't "just anyone."

Fine.

If you say so.

Sorry I got mad.

She's pissed off.

The sacral tumor is indistinguishable from the rectum,

and is pinching the nerve going to urethra and legs,

so the surgery will be difficult.

If the surgery goes well, will he be fully cured?

It depends on the biopsy result of the tumor once it's removed.

If it's benign, it's possible he'll be fully cured.

I heard it's a difficult surgery. That's why we came from Gangwon-do.

Please take good care of my child.

Okay. We'll try our best.

Thank you.

The man suspected of the random stabbings

were caught by doctors and a nurse, making headlines.

He believed the young victim had seen his face

and snuck into her hospital room last night.

The suspect attempted to attack again

but was captured by the doctors and nurse,

and was apprehended after a struggle.

Resident Dr. Park, the first to confront the suspect,

was the one who saved the boy at Cheongryangri Station

and is back in the spotlight.

The courage of this life-saving doctor

prevented a second crime and protected another person.

What kind of a father does that?

It was crazy the day Si-on's father came here.

Now we have to look after Si-on's father as well.

It's so annoying.

But why are you so curious about Si-on all of a sudden?

What?

What do you mean why? He's our youngest resident.

-You even went to his place. -What?

Sure, I did.

-A home visit. -Excuse me?

Thanks for the documents.

-You may go now. -Okay.

Chief.

I have a personal question.

What?

What is it?

Never mind. I'll get going now.

What the...

He's so random.

Ju-nam.

This hospital has only the best doctors in Korea.

Once you get surgery, you'll be all better.

-So don't worry, okay? -Okay, Dad.

Excuse me.

Where's Park Si-on?

Do you mean Dr. Park Si-on?

Doctor? What doctor?

What brings you here?

I'm his dad!

I'm Si-on's dad!

Thank you for taking such good care of Yun-jeong.

This isn't much, but please take it.

I'm sorry, but we can't accept gifts.

It's very small.

Please, take it as a token of our appreciation.

I'm sorry.

You're putting me in a difficult situation.

You saved Yun-jeong's life.

Please, take it for our sake.

I appreciate the gesture, but I really can't accept it.

Okay, then.

Thank you for everything.

Get home safely.

Let's go.

Si-on!

You brat.

You argue with me, and don't even stop by?

So, I heard that you caught

some guy who attacked people?

Yes, we caught him all together.

You probably got your fighting skills from me.

You can't fool genetics.

It was different from your hitting me.

I hit a bad man. But you hit me and Mom.

What? Why, you brat!

Excuse me.

I'm the chief of the department.

Are you Dr. Park's father?

-Yes, I am. -I see.

Dr. Park.

Get to NICU right away and check on the new preemies.

Excuse me?

-Go. Go now. -Oh, okay.

Si-on, I'm not done talking. Where are you going?

-Excuse me. -Hey.

This is Dr. Park's workplace.

Please don't visit him without a special reason.

This stupid hospital is always telling me to stay away from him.

Can't I even visit my own child?

What a joke.

See? You're in pain.

I told you not to operate.

Don't talk to me.

That's what you get for not listening to me.

I deserve this pain.

I was hurting people around me,

but I had no idea.

I guess you made up with Ms. Yoo?

Good for you.

Yun-seo.

Yes?

You were always by my side when I needed you, watching over me.

Thanks.

You taught me what it means to truly care for someone.

SUNGWON FOUNDATION

How could you?

Is that really true?

Yes.

I had the sponsors withdraw their funding.

I also gave Chairman Jung the foundation's data.

I understand you hate me, but how could you?

Are you the foundation's new chairman that Chairman Jung

plans to appoint?

You would've inherited it anyway.

So why--

Had I known Chairman Jung was responsible

for my dad's death, this never would've happened.

Forget it. Get out.

I can't look at you right now.

I'm sorry, Uncle.

I...

I'll fix it.

I promise.

I'm sorry.

We made you this way.

It's not your fault.

Uncle.

I just want you to know this one thing.

We don't mind losing the foundation or the hospital.

Those are just small parts of our lives.

But if we lose you,

we lose everything.

I'm sure your father feels the same way.

I'm leaving. Bye.

Good night.

Si-on!

Are you a stalker?

Why are you following me like that?

You seem pissed off, so I want to make you feel better.

-Who says I'm pissed off? -You got pissed off earlier.

Hey!

Stop making me seem petty. I did not.

You're speaking at a high decibel even now.

Fine.

I'll be nice and say that I'm pissed off.

So how will you make me feel better?

What?

I don't like you guys anymore.

Now you're resorting to slapstick?

If you feel better, that's all I need.

But hey, do you know why I was pissed off?

I saw on the Internet once.

They said the most difficult question from a woman is,

"Do you know why I'm mad?"

Please tell me.

I don't know either.

If you don't know, who does?

I know, right?

Regardless, I know it's because of me.

I'm sorry I made you angry.

You're always apologizing.

Shouldn't you be at the hospital?

I should get going.

Hurry up!

Okay.

Ms. Yoo.

Do-han.

Dr. Choi told me that you confessed.

Let's go. Let's die together.

Goodness, I've never seen our madam drunk before.

What, can't I get drunk?

Why not? Dr. Kim is right here.

Push yourself to the limit tonight.

You know, I thought I was smart.

Aren't I?

You're smarter than I am.

What's the point?

I was tricked and made a fool of.

A total fool.

You think I'm pathetic too, don't you?

I talk big, saying I know what I'm doing,

but I never do anything right.

Yes, you do talk big,

but you do things right often too.

Do-han.

What?

Why are you suddenly acting like my boyfriend?

What am I then? Some random neighbor?

You are acting differently and it scares me.

I'm afraid you'll turn cold again.

That you'll be alone again.

Dr. Park Si-on told me

that you eat alone all the time

and never smile.

I was like that too.

I hope my happy memories return quickly.

The warm memories of the time I used to love

everyone.

I'd like to talk about my son's surgery.

I'd like one of you

to go to Boston.

I understand what you mean,

but that doesn't mean they'll operate.

We can only advise, not partake in their surgery.

Bring him here.

I know you don't trust our department.

The choice is yours.

It's not that I don't trust you, I just trust them a little more.

I know better than anyone

how skilled Sungwon's pediatric surgeons are.

But it's too soon to put my faith in you.

That's why I was trying to reform the hospital.

So that I can create a hospital that I can be 100% sure of.

Do you think the trust of patients

can be earned with investment and reform alone?

What's the point of good facilities and systems,

if they won't operate on a patient in need?

Oh my goodness.

We won't operate if the guardian doesn't trust us.

It seems to be out of our hands.

We wish you luck.

Hello.

Yes, hello.

You're a bad man, Mr. Kang.

I heard everything.

That you're turning our hospital into a for-profit hospital.

I know what that means.

It'll make the parents and kids suffer.

If they don't have money, they won't be able to get surgery.

Everything has two sides.

The same goes for this situation.

That's not true.

No matter how much the facilities improve,

it's useless if the patients can't come.

Dying because they can't come will make them sadder.

Losing a chance to live

will make them sadder.

Say that again.

In-hae.

So you're my small intestine donor?

So you're giving me yours?

That's the safest way.

Are you out of your mind?

You work yourself to death for me and now you're giving me your intestine?

I'm fine.

-So In-hae-- -Forget it!

I don't need surgery!

I'd rather die! I'll just die!

In-hae!

In-hae!

In-hae!

Go away.

I want to be alone.

-In-hae. -I said go away!

You should've

told me first.

I also

thought there was another donor.

Look.

It's not urgent.

Maybe if we wait...

Please don't say anything.

Dr. Kim, In-hae's surgery has been scheduled.

Why would it be scheduled?

Dr. Kim, the chief of HPB scheduled it.

He did what?

Why didn't you tell us?

In-yeong asked me to keep it a secret.

You should have told me before scheduling the surgery.

You found out eventually.

In-hae is our patient. We've been treating her.

-So? -We must participate in her surgery.

You don't have much intestinal transplant experience.

Neither have I failed any.

You only did it a few times.

I have to control this surgery.

If I work with your department, I'll be distracted.

In-hae's condition is unique.

She practically has no small intestine.

We must think of another method until the last minute.

Are you lecturing me?

You think I don't know that much?

Are you worried?

I'll take care of it, so keep quiet and stay out of it.

How could you just come here?

Sorry,

but we had no options there,

and Jun-yeong wanted to come to Korea.

Then you should've called from the airport!

-Dad. -Yes.

You must be tired from the trip.

Dad.

I heard the doctors here said they could fix me.

I hope they can,

so I can play baseball again.

Okay.

I'll make sure you do.

I'll keep him here until I find another option.

Do as you wish.

Thank you for understanding.

-I'd like to ask you something. -Go ahead.

You've watched us operate many times,

so I believe you know what we're capable of.

And you said that you trust us.

I don't understand why you are so distrusting now.

It's simple.

It's because

I'm a father.

No father would bet his son's life

on something uncertain.

Honey.

Don't say anything.

Are you...

Dr. Cha Yun-seo?

You know me?

Yes.

My mom showed me the e-mail you had sent.

About how to operate.

I see.

You're much prettier than I had imagined.

Thanks.

You'll operate on me, right?

Promise me.

After reading your e-mail,

I begged my mom to return to Korea.

Everyone is so narrow-minded.

If there's a better way, that's what you should do!

Please calm down.

If something goes wrong, they'll try to avoid blame.

There's nothing we can do.

Everyone thinks they're right.

No matter how much I learn about life,

too many things are hard to understand.

It's just as hard for me.

I don't get it. The older people get,

the more stubborn they become and they don't listen to others.

It's not illnesses that hurt people.

I feel like people hurt people more.

Even doctors can't fix that.

There are vaccines for viruses and chemotherapy for tumors,

but there's no prescription for people hurting people.

That's right.

But the only prescription is also people.

I wish doctors could cure both illnesses and people.

You have been doing that.

All of our patients left

with a healed heart.

Your love

relieved their pain better than any medication.

Love?

Pain?

Relieve?

That's why you're a good doctor.

I still don't know what a good doctor is.

A good person.

I think a good person becomes a good doctor.

I see.

I guess that's why you're a good doctor.

No.

I'm still only a semi-good doctor.

No, I say you're wrong, so you're wrong.

Are you the president of my fan club?

You praise me too much.

I'm your fanboy. Cha Yun-seo's fanboy.

Stop surfing the web.

You keep picking up weird terms.

Dr. Park, have you seen In-hae?

No, did she go somewhere?

She was in her room, but she changed and left while I stepped out.

We should look outside.

In-hae.

What are you doing out here?

Did you sneak out again?

You can't be here.

Let's go back in.

No.

I really don't want to be in the hospital today.

Okay, I see.

Dr. Cha will take her home and bring her tomorrow.

Don't worry too much.

Ta-da!

That's the bathroom.

Wash up and sterilize. I have disinfectants in there.

Okay.

Excuse me, Ms. In-hae's sister.

Yes, doctor?

Dr. Cha will take good care of her.

Yes, I'm sure she will.

In-hae may be mad and hurt right now,

but she'll understand how you feel.

She seems older than I am.

She has a big heart.

Oh, and Ms. In-hae's sister...

"Ms. In-hae's sister" sounds kind of weird.

Just call me In-yeong.

Oh, okay.

In-yeong... Well...

Dr. Han Jin-uk likes you a lot.

He sleeps on the top bunk in the on-call room, and

he's always tossing and turning.

I can't sleep because he's too loud.

so I stay up all night with him.

I thought I was the biggest fool at this hospital,

but it turns out that Dr. Han is worse.

He's a very big fool.

He once told me

that there's no qualification in loving someone.

As long as you genuinely, unconditionally, love someone,

you become qualified to care for that person.

Ms. In-hae's sister...

I mean, In-yeong.

I wish you'd give him that qualification.

Not one to carry in his wallet, but one that he can carry in his heart.

Don't you think

your getting the surgery will make your sister happy?

That's not happiness.

She can't love someone or get married.

What do you mean? Of course she can.

The surgery is not that extreme.

Trust me.

How do both you and your sister have such good hearts?

-Doc. -Yes?

Didn't you turn Dr. Park down?

What?

The rose is hanging there.

If you had rejected him, you would've thrown it out.

That's weird.

How do you know that?

Dr. Park said he liked someone, so I had been advising him.

But he wouldn't say who it was.

Then I saw that on your phone.

I told him to do that.

My goodness.

Don't be embarrassed.

What? I'm not embarrassed.

-What? -Nothing.

I couldn't be rude to him because he was so sincere.

So you hung up the rose not because you accepted him,

but because you didn't want to be rude to him?

Yeah.

I'm acknowledging him as an adult.

I see.

You know,

Dr. Park is a really good guy.

I know.

I wish all the good guys in this world

wouldn't get hurt.

Dr. Cha.

When you said that love relieves people's pain,

I didn't understand what you meant.

But after thinking about it,

I realize there's no painkiller as effective as love.

Thank you.

Goodnight.

In-hae, get up.

You need to get your fluids and be sterilized.

A little longer.

What brings you here?

I came to pick up In-hae.

You don't think I can handle it?

You're a mess.

-Didn't you wash your face? -Doc...

Doc.

I...
