HOSPITAL PLAYLIST
Your numbers look all normal.
Just keep an eye on your weight.
But you know...
Strangely, I catch a cold way more often
-after getting the liver transplant. -I see.
I had one nasty winter last year because of the cold.
I see. I didn't know that. Did you get the flu shot last year?
No way. After getting the transplant,
my heart starts beating fast
whenever I see a syringe.
Even so, you should've gotten the flu shot.
Even I get them.
We'll call you when your shot is due. Get it this year.
But you know,
strangely, my skin gets dark spots easily
after getting the liver transplant.
Before the surgery,
people used to tell me that I had glowing skin like a man in his 60s.
When you go out, do you apply sunscreen?
My gosh, men don't need that.
-I don't apply sunscreen. -Goodness.
That's why you're getting tanned.
Besides, your skin was tanned, to begin with.
Is that so? But you know,
after getting the liver transplant,
walking for just an hour would make my legs hurt these days.
When I'm a little bit tired, I have pins and needles in my legs.
And my back hurts, too.
Sir, how old are you this year?
Me?
I turned 84 this year.
Come on. What can I do then?
Do you know Park Jong-jin, an HCC patient who was admitted?
When I told him his tumor got bigger, he wanted to talk to you.
I'll go check on my sister first, then I'll talk to him before I go home.
-Go get some rest. -Okay.
You should take the next one.
-What? -Just take the next one.
Third floor. Going up. Doors are closing.
Hello.
Hi.
Gosh, this is good.
NAME: LEE IK-SUN
It's so good.
Are you a wild beast?
You should cook that. We've been using fire for centuries now.
Everything is cooked except for this one.
-Did Mom call you? -Yes.
She might be onto something. She called me yesterday and today.
-You didn't tell her, did you? -No, I didn't.
If I do, I know she'll be worried. Why would I do that?
I guess Jun-wan is pretty good.
I feel fine. My head just rings a bit.
My gosh, the way you talk.
You'll turn 40 soon. Don't talk like a kid.
It's been a while since I saw him. And he's so old now.
Of course. He'll turn 40 soon, too.
-Is he not going to get married? -You should get married.
-Did he come and check on you? -Four times.
He came to check on me four times. He's here all the time.
He must think I'm still in middle school.
Gosh, that's gross.
Nice. That makes it five.
Say hello, Professor Kim. He's my brother.
Please take good care of her.
I'm Lee Ik-jun, Major Lee Ik-sun's older brother.
I truly appreciate the work you did on her.
Just like she told me,
you're just getting old as a lonely bachelor.
-My gosh, yes. I am. My apologies. -Okay.
Seeing how you're goofing around, you can go home.
I got the medical certificate and admission note ready for you.
-You can get discharged tomorrow. -Okay.
You're not going back right away, right?
She's off for two weeks. She'll rest up at my house.
You're not going to Changwon? Stay with your mom.
Gosh, no. She doesn't know yet. Hand me some tissues.
You know what? Your hospital must be environmentally friendly.
There are birds here.
Birds? Are there birds inside?
-My gosh. -Right here.
What should I do?
Being her brother is so hard. It really is.
Stay still.
What was that?
It's buljajangmyeon. It's so good.
-Is it spicy? -Yes, it is a little.
But it's the best jajangmyeon I had.
I had jajangmyeon from every restaurant near my base.
But this restaurant has the best jajangmyeon. It's so good.
You must come and try it.
No matter how good it is, I won't go all the way there just for jajangmyeon.
How can you never come to see your own sister in Inje?
I visited you when you were in Cheorwon.
That was three years ago!
I'm busy trying to meet ends meet.
I look after my son and my patients.
I'm busy, too. I have 300 soldiers under me.
Don't you feel sorry for your only sister?
I'm stuck in Inje, only eating buljajangmyeon.
What are you talking about? Field grade officers get many days off.
You're a major in the army, but all you do is travel.
I didn't get to travel that much.
I can't go beyond the border anyway.
No matter what, I'm stuck in Inje.
I ate all the downstream trouts and salmons.
You always liked sashimi anyway. You're a sashimi lover.
You eat them because you like sashimi. Why are you blaming it on the fish?
You said buljajangmyeon was great.
If you can eat that delicious thing every day,
you'd be happy every day. Why would I feel bad for you?
Oh, my. Are you guys rapping?
You two should become rappers.
Actually, we used to
practice rapping together.
When I was in middle school, and he was in high school,
We entered a comedy contest as two rappers. But we didn't make it.
-Comedy contest? -That was a long time ago.
By the way, who did you want to see from the hospital?
-Didn't she come to see you? -No way. You think she'd come to see me?
I'm sure she came here to see her friend.
I was going to see you and my friend, too.
It's my best friend. And my best friend has to work on the weekends, too.
So I came here to surprise my friend.
Darn it.
-Wait, is it a guy? -Yes.
-Is he your boyfriend? -No, he's not.
He's the closest friend in the army.
-I don't think so. -We're really just friends.
We're like you and Song-hwa.
Salute.
My gosh, Major Lee. How long has it been?
Are you okay now? Sorry I couldn't come yesterday.
Mr. Civilian. You look great.
-Oh, my. Hello. -What is this?
It's Dr. Ahn Chi-hong from NS? Are you two friends?
Right. You said you graduated from the Military Academy.
Why didn't I connect the dots?
It didn't occur to me, either.
Now that I know, your names are very similar.
-Do you know each other? -Yes.
Hey, by the way, I approve. I approve of this.
-Of what? -I like Dr. Ahn.
Gosh. I got nothing to say if it's him.
-I approve. -Come on.
Hey, stop that nonsense.
Song-hwa bought the gimbap you like. Let's go.
-I... Wait. Hold on. -Just go.
Bye.
Wait. Please take good care of my sister.
She may come across as rough,
but she is really funny.
Okay? You know?
Hurry. Take a seat. Cheers.
HOSPITAL PLAYLIST
A cup of large iced latte, please.
What do you want?
I'll have some tomato juice. Thank you.
-Who is he? -A surgical intern.
I see. Hello.
One tomato juice, too.
Say hello. She's a second-year ob-gyn resident. Dr. Chu Min-ha.
-Hello. -Is he the only intern?
Are you the only surgical intern?
There is another one, but there's a liver metastasis conference
for a breast cancer patient.
So the other intern went to the conference.
-I thought you had a lunch date. -Gosh, it wasn't a date at all.
He wanted me to buy him lunch, so I just bought him a meal.
-I'll pay. -He's eight years younger than her.
-She's got games. -Seven years.
-Do you want to chat for a bit? -I have to go.
Gosh.
-Buy me a cup of coffee, too. -What would you like to have?
I'd like an Iced latte with a lot of ice.
One more iced latte, please.
You two are like besties.
I've been bothering him these days.
I really can't figure out what kind of person Professor Yang Seok-hyeong is.
I'm getting a crash course from him.
When it comes to those five members of the comedy club,
I can describe them in an omniscient viewpoint as their colleague.
Everything. Their dating history, families, and what they are really like.
It only takes a cup of coffee.
Yours are ready. You should go.
Hello, when did this happen?
It's been an hour. He passed out in the shower.
Can you move this leg for me?
All right. And this leg.
He's not a Korean national, right?
Right.
Right now, he's suffering from an intracerebral hemorrhage.
If his blood pressure remains high,
the bleeding could get worse and may lead to death.
I managed to get him a bed in the ICU, so he should stay there
and get surgery this afternoon or tonight.
Please sign here.
She said she's suddenly discharging blood.
How long has it been?
It's been two to three days.
Is there a lot of blood or does it hurt like during your menstrual cycle?
Not really. I don't think so.
Just tell the doctor everything.
She can be really shy, you know.
People say that kids these days are out of control,
but she's so innocent. Goodness.
Then, let me take a look at her ultrasound.
-Let's do an ultrasound. -Okay.
Ma'am, you can stay outside. After the scan, we will bring you back in.
-Okay. Just do it. You'll be okay. -Mom.
Doctor, do you think this is implantation bleeding?
Has it been two weeks since I did it with my boyfriend?
Damn it. I'm totally fucked.
Do you think I am pregnant?
If I am, my mom will kill me.
That motherfucker. I told him to put on a condom.
Damn it.
Well, we don't know that yet.
Not all vaginal bleeding means implantation in the uterus.
I see...
Then,
does it mean I can still have sex?
You're an intern. So how old you are you?
I'm 26 years old.
-My gosh. -My goodness.
He's a baby.
-I'm so jealous. -Goodness.
Hi.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Sit down. -Hi.
My gosh, I'm hungry. Let's do this while we eat.
-Here. This is yours, sir. -Okay.
Goodness.
I'm sorry. I just finished seeing my outpatients.
My apologies.
You must be Im Chang-min.
Age, 26. Hometown, Cheongju. You met your girlfriend from school.
You like to drink Tesla, right?
Do you know what that is? Not the auto company.
It's a cocktail thing. I haven't eaten yet. I'm starving.
Seriously?
We have to pay for food like this?
My goodness, what a rip-off. Don't you think?
-Pardon? -He wants to be discharged.
If he does, he might die.
He can't afford it.
We have the Social Services Department.
They can get some help even if they are foreigners.
Actually, I looked into that. This patient doesn't have a passport.
And he can't get an income certificate, either.
Our hospital cannot help him.
-What should I do? -Hold on.
Let me characterize those five doctors in one go. Listen up.
To sum it up,
they should be called Lacking Five.
I could call them that.
I thought you had to go.
What does that mean?
So everyone lacks something?
That's right. Everyone lacks something.
Let's start with Song-hwa.
-The only female. -The only female
and their emotional pillar.
In a nutshell, she doesn't have any weaknesses.
She's good at her job.
And she helps other people, too.
When I have some extra time, I'll write her biography.
-I heard about her. -She's better than what you've heard.
Song-hwa is a perfect nerd. But she likes having fun, too.
She likes having meals with colleagues and can drink, too.
And sometimes, she acts all crazy.
She's pure-hearted.
Is that possible at her age?
What's wrong with our age?
The Social Services Department said they would look into it.
-But it may take some time. -Right.
But I don't think this patient should be discharged.
-I don't know what to do. -Hold on.
Yes, Professor Chae Song-hwa.
Didn't you have Grandpa-Long-Legs
or something like that at your previous hospital?
Jeong-won knows a lot about that.
No, Kangwoon Medical Center's Social Services Department has
someone called Hyeon Jeong-mi.
She's the only one who can directly contact the sponsor.
Okay. Send me her number.
Do you have her phone number?
Okay.
If you give me her number, I'll call her.
Okay. Just a moment.
Right.
Yes, this patient has an intracerebral hemorrhage.
The bleeding was caused by high blood pressure.
He must undergo surgery before the bleeding worsens.
I was wondering if you could help.
-Where is he from? -He's from Indonesia.
-Professor, I can talk to her... -He's from Indonesia.
No, we don't have much time. I'll leave my number.
If you have any questions, call me.
By the way, do you think you can get Grandpa-Long-Legs on the phone?
We really don't have time.
The patient is in critical condition.
Please get back to me as soon as possible. Okay.
Usually, the sponsor gets back to them right away. Let's wait.
All right, then. We took care of the medical bills.
Where is he now?
He's still in the ER.
Go ahead with the CT navigation and prep for surgery.
I'll call the Anesthesiology to book an OR.
I'm calling them now. I'll do it.
You go and prep for surgery now.
Hey, it's me. I'll send a patient up for premedication.
Get me an OR.
All right. Next up is Kim Jun-wan.
Jun-wan is the best surgeon.
But he is...
He's a jerk.
-How's the ultrasound? -Yes, it's fully blocked.
-It's not bleeding, right? -Yes. It's fine.
Jae-hak.
Why should we be careful with the AV node?
Why should we be careful with that?
Hey!
Is my surgery that boring?
A bit.
No. Not at all. It's fun!
I'm sorry.
How could you doze off when the patient is between life and death?
Well, I'm also on the verge of...
I'm sorry.
Professor Kim, there's no bleeding. The surgery went well.
-We'll wrap up the rest. -Will you?
Yes. Great surgery, sir.
Good job.
-Great surgery. -Great surgery, sir.
Don't we have footage of TOF surgery?
Yes, sir.
Give him that, so he can reflect on himself.
Dr. Jang, you're drooling right now.
Dr. Chu, aren't your cheeks too red?
-Is it too much? -Yes.
I applied it because I wanted to look three or four years younger.
You look 34 years younger.
Damn you.
-Next. -What about Professor Yang Seok-hyeong?
-Seok-hyeong. -Yes.
Don't you know?
-me? -I...
I... Where I live...
Our house.
-Professor Yang. -Our house.
-Yes, this is Yang Seok-hyeong speaking.
Yes.
-He's not social. -He's not social.
One, two, three.
-We won. -We won.
Don't waste your energy. We have two more.
-One, two, three. Two more. -One, two, three.
-We won, we won again -We won, we won again
I feel bad for the younger ghosts.
-We won, we won again -We won, we won again
Who have I missed?
-Professor Lee Ik-jun. -Dr. Ahn Jeong-won.
Lee Ik-jun, that prick...
He was at the top of his class when he entered med school,
and graduated at the top, too.
-Really? -Yes.
Ik-jun had the highest mark on the medical board exam.
Shouldn't he be the biggest clown instead?
That's what I heard too.
When he was a med student, he practically lived at clubs.
But he still got the top.
I'm not sure if he's just that smart or he studied in secret.
Anyway, a practicum or exam.
It didn't matter. He always got the highest grades.
But do you know what this punk doesn't have?
-Modesty? -Sure. he's not modest, either.
Perhaps, it's because he got it all.
But he doesn't have any inferiority complex or prejudice.
-He's not twisted at heart. -Right.
Do they expect anyone to pay for a thing like this?
This is such a rip-off. My goodness.
Sir.
You always eat meals prepared by others, but you always seem to complain.
You should just eat it. It's actually good.
Okay?
Starting now, whenever you complain, you'll have to pay 10,000 won.
You have to. Okay?
Hey, why would I pay 10,000 won?
That's too expensive. This meal probably costs less than that.
My gosh. Fine. All right.
-That punk. -He stopped at 40,000 won.
-Enjoy your meal. -My gosh.
-So Ahn Jeong-won is the last one. -Yes.
Jeong-won doesn't have...
-any desire for material possessions. -Obviously.
His family is super-rich. Even I wouldn't be materialistic.
Yes, I just wired the money.
And...
once the surgery bill comes out, I'll cover that, too.
He shouldn't worry and just get the surgery
Tell him to focus on getting better.
Okay. I got it.
BILLS ARE BEING COUNTED PLEASE WAIT
WITHDRAWAL: 100,000 WON BALANCE: 305,000 WON
-Are you supporting a secret family? -You startled me.
It's our payday. Where's your money?
Why did you look at my balance, you lunatic?
Where did the money go? You prick.
Where do you think? It went to a good place.
Hey, by the way, we're not getting any patients for the VIP Ward these days.
Why do you say that? Are you finally concerned about the hospital now?
It's not about the hospital. It's just my finance.
-Didn't you read the article? -What article?
Congressman Sim Yeong-su will have a liver transplant.
He'll be admitted to the VIP Ward this afternoon. His surgery is soon.
You're right. I forgot about him.
Hey, I heard that he's taking up all four of those expensive VIP rooms.
He only needs two rooms for him and his son.
But he didn't want people to talk about them and keep things private.
-He booked all four of them. -Really? He's a VIP indeed.
I should buy some juice and visit him.
Hey, by the way... What was his son's name?
-Sim Yeong-ho? -That's right. Sim Yeong-ho.
Didn't he go clubbing with Ik-jun all the time?
Yes, he's Ik-jun's clubbing bestie.
My gosh, he was such a jerk back then.
What a surprise. Who knew he'd give his liver to his dad?
Right? Isn't his son the donor?
According to Ik-jun, he's a new man now.
Ik-jun met with him last month for the HLA testing and the consult.
Ik-jun told me he's now softer.
I have some time left. Shall we eat tteokbokki?
I have to meet with Seok-hyeong.
I have a meeting with him for a gastroschisis patient.
Hey, don't bring it up in front of Seok-hyeong.
Don't talk about Sim Yeong-su. He'll lose it again.
Okay, I heard you.
SEXUAL PREDATOR CONGRESSMAN SIM YEONG-SU GETS A LIVER TRANSPLANT
HE WAS ADMITTED TO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
HE WAS FINED FOR ASSAULTING A CADDIE AT A GOLF COURSE LAST MONTH
MOM
Hi, Mom.
Yes. Did you have your lunch?
What did you eat?
Mom, I got paid today. What should I do with this?
What do I do? Tell me.
By the way, did Professor Ahn Jeong-won date anyone when he was a med student?
Jeong-won?
Well...
By the way, you guys seem to have a lot of time.
When I was your age...
Did you study about the patient's condition?
Yes. It's called gastroschi...
It's a gastroschisis. It means a lack of an abdominal wall.
Can you elaborate?
When a baby has its abdominal wall undeveloped,
its intestines come out of the body.
When did the patient get diagnosed with the condition?
The mother was diagnosed with gastroschisis 20 weeks into her pregnancy.
And she's 36 weeks into her pregnancy now.
You seem to know better than me.
Does it mean the baby is likely to die?
No. This is a rare condition, but we get a few patients like her.
And usually, the babies have surgery as soon as they are born.
They can be healthy again.
Because they must get the surgery right after they are born,
it's better to consult a pediatric surgeon in advance.
So there will be a meeting with the surgical professor today.
Is it okay for us to join?
Those meetings in dramas seem really serious.
Why not? Can't you just do the surgery? Let's go with the C-section. Please?
It's not something you can decide.
That's what the mother wants.
Tell him.
I examined the mother. Her pelvis is in good shape.
And the baby's head is at around the pelvis, too.
So we think the vaginal delivery will be easier.
It means she'll give birth naturally.
I'm glad to hear that.
The baby isn't that small, right?
No. The baby isn't too small.
Actually, in cases like this, some people are concerned
that a vaginal delivery might increase the chance of infections in babies.
But I can't guarantee that a C-section will lower that chance, either.
More than anything, the mother strongly wants to have the vaginal delivery.
Okay.
But we don't know when the baby will come out.
What if I'm in the middle of surgery when the baby comes out?
You're right.
That's why I'll observe her until Week 38 and try inducing labor.
You punk. Why didn't you say so?
Don't laugh.
Hey, think about it. The mother would also want her pediatric surgeon
to do the surgery on her baby.
She agreed to the inducing labor over a C-section.
With labor induction, we can usually deliver the baby on the day we want.
I'm glad to hear that. Then, pick a day when I don't have outpatients.
Sure.
It's been 36 weeks and 2 days as of today.
I'll make it two weeks from today.
So should we wrap up the meeting?
Yes.
Hey, what are you doing tonight?
I don't have any plans. Do you want to get drinks?
Sure.
What about other guys? What's Ik-jun up to?
Congressman Sim was admitted today, so he'll have to stay with the patient.
Is his son the donor?
Yes.
I bet he's putting on a show.
Let's eat first. The meal boxes just arrived. They are warm.
-Okay. -Okay.
Here.
All the beds are full today. Eat when you can.
Thank you.
Jo Je-yeong in Room 6103.
He had a TACE in 2016.
Yes, but there were some lesions left.
So he got the RFA and TACE.
What's TACE?
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.
Chemoembolization in hepatic arteries.
"Chemoembolization..."
-Yes? -This is Room 6110.
The patient is suddenly throwing up. Please come now.
Room 6110? Okay. I'm on my way.
-Room 6110. -Okay.
-Ma'am. -Yes?
My husband can't breathe.
He's been having a hard time breathing for a while. Please come now.
-Go. -Okay.
Nurse, my bed is broken.
I keep pressing the remote, but it won't come up.
I need to have my dinner.
We can't even have our dinner right now. Please help.
I'm not the one...
Hold on. Let me go with you.
Where did he go?
Which room was he in?
Su-bin.
Can you tell me if Congressman Sim's son, Sim Yeong-ho,
is in VIP Room Two or Three?
He's in Room Two, but you can't see him even if you go now.
-Why not? -He's quite sensitive.
Only a designated nurse can see him.
Even Professor Gwon Sun-jeong got to see him only once.
Since he's the donor, he doesn't have to do a lot.
But he's very cranky.
What?
He's not like that.
His son...
They say that his son doesn't want to do it,
but he's forced to donate to look like a good son.
And they say
some private security guards are surveilling him in case he runs away.
-What are you looking for anyway? -What?
A guardian came to me because of a broken bed.
-But I don't know which room he's in. -Oh, that? I fixed that.
-When? -A while ago.
How?
It wasn't plugged in properly.
You didn't eat yet, right?
Jeez. You should go and eat first.
I'll sit here and take care of things here.
No, you should go home. Your son must be waiting.
Tomorrow is the weekend. I'll play with him then.
This feels nice. How nice.
What should I watch?
You really look like a single father now.
Right.
Before, I lived the life of a single father,
but it's even true on paper, too.
I'm really a single father now.
Raising is a kid hard, isn't it?
Being a doctor must be hard enough.
It's hard. But my son...
But I love my son to pieces.
Father, lift me, please.
What should we get?
You get ham and cheese.
So ham and cheese for me. What about you?
I'll get Avoholic.
You'll get Avoholic. And I'm U-ju-holic.
Then, I'm Dad-holic.
Are you a genius? Did I make a genius?
Give me a kiss.
-Have you been here before? -Yes.
-Who did you come with? -With Jang Mo-ne. My girlfriend.
-Your girlfriend's name is Mo-ne? -Yes.
Was it just the two of you?
No, we came here with Mo-ne's mom.
I see. Is that so?
-U-ju. -Yes?
If you miss your mom,
tell me anytime.
You say the word, and I'll take you to her right away.
No, I'll tell her to come to you. Okay?
If she doesn't miss me, I don't miss her, either.
What do you mean she doesn't miss you?
You're wrong. She misses you a lot.
She called me yesterday and asked how you were doing.
She calls me every day.
I just need you, Dad.
You're my favorite person in the entire universe.
Dad, are you not going to eat that?
I'm going to.
Father.
Can you buy me one more sandwich, please?
Father, you have a visitor.
Oh, him? It's my younger brother. He said he'd come see me.
-I don't think it's him. -What?
He's handsome.
I see.
Were you playing baseball?
No. I came from home.
Do you not have anyone to spend your weekend with?
I'll go see Mom later.
You are not going on a date? You punk.
You're wasting your good days.
What are you talking about? Why would I go on a date?
I'm not interested.
By the way, I still haven't gotten an answer yet.
I sent the recommendation letter almost two months ago.
You'll get it soon. Just wait.
Oh, that reminds me.
Did you...
Did you tell Mom?
I'm planning to tell her today.
She'll pass out today.
I'm sure she'll understand.
What?
She encouraged all of you when you were called by God.
I believe in Mom.
She's not like the others.
What?
Mom!
Please hear me out.
Mom!
Mom.
I'm fine.
There are stairs all the way down. Get on my back now.
All right. Hold on tight.
Mom, should we have spicy noodles for dinner tonight?
Call Song-hwa.
Ask her to come for dinner.
I really like her.
She's calm and kind.
Why would she join us for dinner?
I told you she's just a friend.
Besides, she's not calm at all.
She is a wild one.
"REJOICE IN THE LORD" CHURCH MEMBER CHAE SONG-HWA
I didn't know "Rejoice in the Lord" was such a fun song.
The professor is doing a good job with it.
There comes the highlight.
My dear U-ju. I wonder where you get your good looks from.
-Lee Ik-jun. -My gosh.
The micro-dust level is high today. Will there be outdoor classes?
Okay. If you go outside this afternoon,
use the mask I put in the front pocket of U-ju's backpack.
And if you have any sunscreen, please gently apply it on his face.
Okay.
-Dad. -I'll see you after work.
That startled me. Darn it.
Goodness.
My gosh, you're the queen of parking.
If I have to quit, I'll work as a chauffeur.
Someone, park my car, please.
My gosh.
My gosh. Hello. Are you back for good?
Goodness.
She came back to work today.
-She already delivered a baby. -I see.
-Do you know who she is? -Yes.
We heard she's the goddess of delivery.
You bet she is. She's been working for 15 years
as a nurse in the delivery room.
She had to deliver her own baby, so she was on leave.
As long as we have her, we're not needed here. We can all go home.
You're just as I remember. You haven't changed at all.
My gosh, people shouldn't change.
But we got new professors while you were away.
Just one. A young doctor who seems sullen.
-I've never met him before. -You mean Professor Yang Seok-hyeong.
He's the only one I haven't met. Others are all the same.
We have a delivery scheduled for a baby with anencephaly.
Whose case is that?
Mine. I'm assisting the delivery.
Do a good job.
What's anencephaly?
A baby without a brain.
We suspected the baby had anencephaly during an ultrasound at 13 weeks.
We're not allowed to induce abortion.
And the mother wanted to give birth anyway.
She's now 32 weeks pregnant. Her water broke at dawn.
And she's having contractions now.
I think the baby will come out this afternoon.
The baby can only live for a few hours or several days, the most.
That's enough. The rest is for us to worry about and prepare for.
Professor Yang will take the patient?
Actually, he wanted to see me.
Who's in my anencephaly case today?
-I'm assisting you. -I see.
Min-ha, I need to talk to you then.
Me? Okay. Sure.
You want me to cover the mouth?
Don't block the nose or the airway.
Just cover the mouth gently, so we don't hear the baby cry.
Eun-won can't because she has to assist me.
So, you come in and cover the baby's mouth.
Do it as soon as the baby's born.
Understood?
The X-ray shows no problem.
He also has no fever. Maybe I called you for no reason.
I even called you last night.
She's just worried since it hasn't been long since his surgery.
We'll just have to deal with it.
Why did Jin-yong return? What's the matter?
He's fine now. I'm sorry, Professor.
Jin-yong kept throwing up last night
so he was brought to the ER. But he's okay now.
Then... Is there any other problem?
What about his fever and abdominal distention?
His fever broke after I gave him a fever reducer.
He's better after vomiting once.
He has no other problems and we explained everything.
But his mother insisted on seeing you, so...
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
Dr. Bae, a patient with a fracture came in. You should come.
Sure.
Let's see.
Ma'am, his intestine is fine, so you don't have to worry too much.
Jin-yong, you think you can eat something now?
Oh, my. You look haggard. Your cheeks are hollow.
It hurts, doesn't it? I'm sorry.
What happened?
He was playing on a dining table and suddenly fell.
Since then, he hasn't been able to move his arm.
He fell on his right side.
I think he broke his arm.
Please do something. Please.
How do you feel when I press here and here?
Do they feel the same?
Is your head okay?
Does it hurt here too?
Take a deep breath.
Does it hurt when you breathe?
I think we should X-ray his chest too.
Did he fall on his arm?
Didn't he hit his chest hard on something?
-Okay. -I'm not sure.
But I heard a really loud sound when he fell from the table.
He fell really hard on his right side.
I think his arm is broken, and there must be a chest problem too.
So we should X-ray him first.
But I heard... X-rays are bad for children.
Is it really necessary?
It's okay since the radiation is very little.
I see... All right, then.
Goodness, Doctor. Whatever you do,
please hurry and stop his pain.
I will. Don't worry.
Let's the X-ray done. And give him some painkiller.
Yes.
Professor, they say the Kasai's operation's ready. You should go.
Okay.
You haven't received an enema, right?
He'll get it later this evening.
That's all he needs to do before surgery, right?
Why are there so many things to do for preparation?
He'll be exhausted even before the surgery.
A transplant recipient usually has a lot to prepare.
The surgery takes a long time as well.
So... Did you say it'll take about ten hours?
We'll only know for sure after the surgery begins.
But you're right. It usually takes nine to ten hours.
But as for your son,
if I take out the time for anesthetizing and closing his chest,
the surgery will take only about four hours. So it's better.
He won't have any side effects after his surgery, right?
I mean, he's getting a liver transplant to get better after all.
Well...
It's not that he's getting it to get better.
The liver transplant is the only way for him to live.
Your son is doing a great thing.
You should know that not everyone does it for their family or parents.
Not doing it is also understandable.
I see...
We took an x-ray because of your cough.
-How does it look? -It looked fine.
Then it's all good.
See you tomorrow.
Okay. Have a good rest today, Professor.
Don't drink tonight, and just go home and rest, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
Yes. He really told me to cover the baby's mouth first.
Clearly, he doesn't even want to hear the baby crying.
I'm telling you, he's a total psycho.
Did he really say that?
Did Dr. Yang Seok-hyeong say that?
He told me that just a while ago.
I didn't think he was that kind of doctor. He has a different side.
What do you mean? He does look like that type of doctor.
He has no consideration or affection for pregnant women.
He's a simple, ignorant, and selfish loner.
He's exactly that kind of doctor.
Dr. Chu, how long have you been a resident?
It's my second year.
I see...
Listen carefully.
The patient with gastroschisis went into labor and is in the ER now.
Hurry up, Professor.
DELIVERY ROOM RESTRICTIONS FOR VISITORS
I think it's going too fast.
The interval is too short.
Eun-won, he's here.
Jo Mi-hyeon, a primi mother at 37 weeks pregnant.
We planned to induce labor next week,
but she has labor pain now.
Her husband's pretty shaken up.
It's okay. You don't have to worry.
The cervix is dilated to 3cm,
and she received an epidural just now.
VIP ROOM 2
BED REST! VISITORS ARE RESTRICTED
I'm worried.
He's mentally unstable.
He refused all the visitors.
He took a blood test and an X-ray, right?
Yes, of course.
But since then, he hasn't come out of the room.
He seemed fine when I talked to him last time.
You don't think he'd run away, do you?
I don't think so.
It's 3cm, so we still have some time.
-You called the Pediatrics, right? -Yes.
What about Pediatric Surgery?
You haven't called Jeong-won yet, right? We still have some time.
No, not yet.
I talked with their chief doctor on the phone.
Dr. Ahn's surgery that started this morning has just finished.
He hasn't eaten anything all day,
so he'll come after eating something.
That's good. I'll be in my office then.
I heard it's still 3cm.
Yes.
Then she still has a long way to go.
Don't tell me you already called PS?
Of course not. I'm a second-year now, you know.
I know that much.
Hello?
This is bad.
What's going on?
The cervix is fully dilated.
RESTRICTED AREA
It's okay. Take your time before coming in.
Yes, sir.
What do I do? I told PS they could go eat.
What should I tell them?
You don't have to call them.
Pardon?
He's already in there.
Dr. Ahn came ten minutes ago and is now in the delivery room.
Has he eaten already?
"Is eating important? We are delivering a baby."
That's what Dr. Ahn said.
He said he should be on standby since Dr. Yang's delivering the baby.
Jeong-won.
-Thanks. -Sure.
-Yes? -Professor, it's ready.
Okay.
What about Jeong-won?
He's been doing surgeries since this morning.
-Seok-hyeong, too? -Yes.
He had an emergency delivery
and has an anencephaly case soon,
so he can't eat now.
What was it again?
A baby without a brain?
You're right..
Oh, dear.
Okay. Please take a long breath.
Good. You're doing a good job.
It's almost done. Just a bit more.
Good. You're doing a good job, ma'am.
Okay, with all your might, push one last time.
Good. One more time.
One more.
More.
Hang in there. You're doing a good job.
Good. The baby has come out.
You did a good job.
You've really done well.
Doctor...
I feel...
so sorry for my baby.
My baby...
Ma'am,
You didn't give up on the baby until the end.
That alone is amazing.
You really did your best, ma'am.
You've done a great job.
Dr. Chu, how long have you been a resident?
It's my second year.
Listen carefully.
I've been worried about that mother for a while,
so I went to see her a little while ago.
I asked her if she wants to see the baby when it's born.
I told her I can show her if she wants to.
She thought it over and told me that
she doesn't want to
because if she sees the baby, it might be too hard for her.
She hasn't gotten an abortion until now.
That alone is great.
But when I was coming out of the room,
I saw Dr. Yang standing outside the door.
He came to ask me a favor.
He said, "When the baby's born later,
if it starts crying,
could you play really loud music?
I asked another person a different thing,
but I'm asking you too just in case."
Yes.
Come further inside.
Yes.
I understood what he meant right away.
But it was so unlike him,
so I asked him as if I didn't get it.
"Why should I play loud music?"
He said, "The mother already knows about it
and has prepared herself.
But still, if she hears the cry
when the baby is born,
she'll be traumatized for life."
Mom.
Did you see the doctor?
I told them to take good care of you.
Yes, it went well.
They said everything's fine.
It's just that my legs feel weak.
-I need to go to the restroom. -Sure.
He said he didn't want to make her traumatized
after all she's been through.
The mother is aware of everything about the baby
and has prepared herself.
But he thinks she'll be traumatized for life.
Oh, my.
He looks quite dull,
so I didn't think he'd care about small things.
That was unexpected.
You know, it's not easy to be thoughtful like that.
Then he should've told me the reason first.
Does he really have to say it out loud?
You should've gotten it right away.
Oh, no...
You even eat green onion kimchi now?
You didn't like it before.
I suddenly like it.
I crave cold bean soup noodles these days.
I never liked it before.
-Our taste in food changes as we grow old. -Yes, but not gradually.
It changes overnight. All of a sudden.
I suddenly became allergic to cats.
I was never allergic to anything.
I suddenly developed presbyopia on Christmas morning last year.
My girlfriend asked me if I liked
something on her phone, but I couldn't see it at all.
I just said I liked it.
Two days ago, I went to the park with U-ju
and took 6,000 photos of flowers.
I'm serious. I took 6,000 photos.
Don't laugh. I took them without realizing it.
And U-ju was...
They were selling bean soup there.
So U-ju was eating it, and I was suddenly immersed in those flowers.
-I'll show you. -No, thanks.
-Look at them. -I'm okay.
Well, Seok-hyeong's worse.
-Of course. He's the worst. -He's the worst.
He never talked with his mom, but now he's a mama's boy.
He was really brusque with his mom.
He talked behind her back a lot,
saying she was so spiteful and scary.
You never know how people turn out.
Anyone would be like that
after going through all of that at once.
He was close to his little sister, but she suddenly died.
And his father had an affair with a young woman,
His mom then had a stroke.
Gosh... I think only Seok-hyeong can endure all that.
If it were me...
How's his mom doing these days?
I heard she'd come here today. Didn't she go to you?
She came to see a neurologist today.
She is a lot better. She can go out by herself now.
So he was going to see his mom if he has time after the delivery.
I wonder if he met her.
I'm okay.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, but...
The woman who just went in is my mother.
She has trouble moving around after having surgery.
-I see. -I'm sorry, but...
I'm just worried that she might collapse in there.
If it's not too much trouble for you, could you keep an eye on her?
If you could just watch her once or twice if she's okay...
I'd appreciate it. I'm sorry.
No, don't be. I'll go watch her now.
Seok-hyeong's father is beyond our imagination.
He doesn't deserve to be a father.
Even Seok-hyeong doesn't call him his father anymore.
They didn't get a divorce yet, right?
Right. His mom's absolutely against it.
She'll never do it.
You should go in now. I know you're busy.
I will after I see you get a cab.
I know how to get a cab.
I called a cab. I'll go back after you get in.
What about Song-hwa? Is she busy?
Why don't you call her?
Tell her to come down and get some coffee.
Mom, we're really just friends.
There's nothing going on between us, so stop that.
I didn't say anything.
I just want to see her since I'm at the hospital.
Why are you getting so worked up?
Is there really something going on?
The cab's here. You should go.
-Bye, mom. -Bye.
Seok-hyeong, come home right away.
What's the matter, Aunt?
Ji-eun is dead...
-What? -They said she accidentally fell and died.
How did something like this happen?
You should hurry.
Take the earliest flight and come here as soon as possible.
Your mom collapsed and was taken away in an ambulance.
And your father went for hiking with his new employees,
so he can come tomorrow night.
So you should hurry, okay?
How could something like this happen?
Father.
JANUARY 2019
Can he call himself human?
What about your mom? Have you told her about this?
I will tell her tonight.
Are you sure about this?
He's not even human.
He really isn't.
-Do you want me to tell her? -No, I will.
It's drizzling. It'll pour soon.
Come inside. Let's talk inside.
I knew.
I've known all along that he's having...
an affair.
But... But then, mom.
Why didn't you do anything?
I tried everything.
I went to him and cursed him.
I even pulled his hair.
But...
he said we should get a divorce.
He said he only wants a divorce.
Then he'd give me this house and all his buildings.
He begged me for a divorce.
So I said no.
I said we should live together
and die together.
I won't get a divorce. For whose sake?
Hiking with his new employees?
I know...
I know he goes on a trip abroad at the end of each year.
Even on the day Ji-eun died,
I'm sure he was with her.
I know that.
But I won't divorce him.
It would just make him happy.
Why would I divorce him when he'd live happily with that wench?
Just divorce him, Mom.
You can live happily with me.
It's okay if I become unhappy.
But I can't let your father become happy.
Even on the day we buried Ji-eun...
your dad slept...
with that wench in the same room.
I'm okay.
I'll bear everything by myself.
So you focus on your job.
For me...
your happiness is everything.
Mom...
Take me, Mom.
Mom...
Take me with you, Mom.
Take me, Mom.
Mom...
Take me, Mom.
Mom...
Take me, Mom.
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
Who's this?
This is Dr. Ahn Chi-hong from NS.
He's also from graduate school.
He's quite old. He's a third-year resident like me.
-Nice to meet you. -Welcome to Dr. Bong's Salon.
Thank you.
This gathering is popular among residents.
Since we can get a lot of information about our professors,
everyone wants to come.
So Dr. Ahn here has been selected today out of ten candidates
because he treated us to a lot of pizza.
By the way, Dr. Bong's not here yet?
I'm here.
Hey, if you have time for this, just go home or get some sleep.
What would you like to drink?
Well, should I have a cold one or a hot one?
You can have both. I'll go buy them.
I'll just pick drinks for you guys, okay?
Okay.
Who is this new guy here?
Hello. I'm Ahn Chi-hong, a third-year resident from NS.
Dr. Ahn from NS.
Who are you curious about?
About Professor Chae Song-hwa.
-Song-hwa? -Yes.
What do you want to know about her?
Maybe, her hobbies?
Ahn Jeong-won for me.
I want to know about his hobbies.
You guys know they're doing a band together, right?
The five of them formed a band.
Well, they were considered a gag club when we were in school.
They didn't play officially,
but they always practiced together.
Oh, right. I heard they're practicing tonight.
Good. I totally mastered this song.
After the break, how about we make this part longer?
You finished early.
-How about some ramyeon? -No.
I have to go watch my kid, so sit down now.
Let's play it once properly and call it a day.
This is my favorite song.
No, it's mine.
A band? Dr. Yang too?
-Thanks. Seok-hyeong plays the keyboards. -What?
-Who plays what? -He said Seok-hyeong plays the keyboards.
Ik-jun and Jun-wan were in a band when they were in high school.
They were the best in Changwon. Well, they were, according to Ik-jun.
Anyway, Ik-jun's good at playing the guitar and bass guitar.
Jun-wan plays the guitar.
They joined a med school band,
but they left because things weren't right for them.
Then they started their own band for fun.
Luckily, Seok-hyeong was good at piano,
and I think Jeong-won started the drums then.
And Song-hwa's the vocalist.
She's the vocalist?
Yes, she is.
But she can't sing
That's right. I know that. Actually, everyone knows that.
But Song-hwa lied to them.
-Sorry? -She's really good at lying.
When she sets her mind on having something,
she'll get it at all means.
That's an unexpected charm.
A vocalist?
Are you saying you're good at singing?
Yes.
SPRING 1999
I'm a little hoarse right now,
but I'm really good at singing.
I'll be the vocalist.
But you were fine until yesterday.
This morning,
I suddenly got hoarse.
Oh, I need more coffee.
Okay, then. Song-hwa can be the vocalist.
And you're good at piano, you said?
-Yes. -Really?
I'm pretty good.
Can't you tell? Look at this place.
I'm from a musical family.
Then, show me.
Are you...
Any other songs?
-When did he learn it? -Be quiet.
Continue playing. I want to listen more.
Well... This guy...
This jerk...
Wait.
Wow, how much is it?
It's 300,000 won.
You really are rich.
You can write 35 Korean characters up to 5 lines.
-Wow, this is so light. -Right?
The technology has advanced a lot.
Maybe it'll have a camera on it too.
-That's nonsense. -Or we will be able to
buy things and pay bus fare with it.
-What? -You've gone too far.
Why not watch TV on it then?
Why not recharge it like this?
They say all that will be possible.
It will. But after we all die.
But there's one thing I can play until the end.
-"Beyer"? -"Canon."
"Canon"?
-You can play "Canon"? -Yes.
I'm not as good as George Washington, but I can play it until the end.
-I learned it from my sister. -It's George Winston.
You.
This is your last chance.
What a show-off.
Like this.
And then, the second line...
Song-hwa, you've improved a lot.
He's a TA patient.
He's been X-rayed because of a rigid abdomen and rebound tenderness.
It seems like he has a pan-peritonitis from bowel perforation.
He needs surgery so I called you.
Okay.
-Did you give him a painkiller? -Yes.
Okay, let's see.
My, it hurts a lot, doesn't it?
What?
He looks just like him, right?
I was surprised too, so I was thinking about how it's possible.
-Maybe they're twins... -Yes, they're twins.
Jae-hun got hurt yesterday, and today, his brother...
Jae-yong.
Dad's here. It's okay.
Doctor, he's going to be okay, right?
It was a car accident, right?
Yes, I dozed off while driving and hit a lamp post.
He was in the back seat.
I don't know what I was thinking.
I need to check some things,
so could you leave us for a moment?
Why? Why should a guardian leave?
Before surgery, I need to prepare him.
I see.
Jae-yong, let me see.
What's wrong with the patient?
He was in his dad's car and got a pan-peritonitis from TA.
What kind of father would let that happen?
It can happen when you drive.
But the father seemed totally fine.
Jae-yong, let me see.
He's covered in bruises.
Jae-yong, lie on your stomach.
Good.
My goodness.
What kind of sick son of a bitch does this?
We still have a lot of time left before surgery.
But I don't know why I'm already so nervous.
That's natural.
Your son...
His surgery will begin soon.
If it goes well,
my husband will be able to play golf
and go on a trip abroad again, right?
Yes.
He will.
Can we have a word?
This is the VIP Ward on the 10th floor. Please send four men now. Hurry.
Yes, right now.
Why did you call the security guards?
-Listen. -Yes?
Didn't you notice anything strange when you check on Mr. Sim?
His wife is with him all the time.
-What's wrong with that? -She never goes to her son's room.
Her son is giving her husband his liver,
but she always stays with her husband.
Even the most unmotherly mother
would be worried about her child more than she is.
Who are you?
Well... I...
Who are you?
Ik-jun.
THE CENTER OF THE DEFENSE THE 2ND BATTALION
What brings you here?
Did you come here to see me?
No, I came to eat Jajangmyeon.
What?
I said I came to eat Jajangmyeon.
Subtitle translation by Won-hyang Son
I'm thinking of confessing my feelings.
Do you like me?
Hey, Ik-jun.
Did you see this?
It's about a girl.
I knew it. He's been single for too long.
Seok-hyeong, is it a crime to get a divorce?
Just drink some beer, man. Gosh, you're so frustrating.
Hey, you got nothing?
Just tell me.
Is there anyone you're interested in?
There is.
Who?
I forgot that Jeong-won has been staying at my house.
Really? Invite me to your home.
Yes, let's pick a day. Today?
There's nothing wrong with her, right? Is she fine?
Yes, everything looks good.
I'll make sure her surgery doesn't hurt at all.
Don't worry about it.
I'll do my best.
She was fine when I checked during my afternoon round.
I need your help, sir.
-I brought three bags of RBC. -Spread this part.
-Great. Keep suctioning. -Bring more blood.
You must save him. If you don't, I'll kill you.
Please save him, doctor.
