DOCTOR ON THE EDGE

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION SOME SCENES WERE GENERATED USING AI

CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS WERE FILMED SAFELY

[♪ pungmul music playing]

Woo-hoo!

Let's go!

My, this is nice. [chuckles]

[music stops]

[Mr. Park] We beseech thee, mighty sea-spirit!

"We offer this ritual today

with all our devotion,

praying for safety and a bountiful catch!"

"We ask that you tame the crashing waves and high winds,

and fill our nets to the brim with many schools of fish!"

Is this your first time seeing a sea ritual?

Oh, yes.

[Hari chuckles] I haven't been to one since I was little either.

It's just the way I remember it.

[Mr. Park] "May you also bestow your grace upon us so that those who go out to sea

may all return to land safely!"

Please grant our wishes.

Please accept our humble offering!

[♪ gentle music playing]

[crowd cheering]

-Was that a good thing? -It's for good luck.

[Jiui] What's he doing now?

Every time they hold a sea ritual, they store white rice in that pot.

It's a fortune-telling practice for the coming year.

They say that if the rice remains white without rotting,

that year will bring a bountiful catch and safety for everyone.

Mmm.

[rice patters]

[rice pattering]

[♪ tense music playing]

So… how does it look? Huh?

Oh, come on. How is it?

[♪ hopeful music playing]

A bountiful year it is!

[cheering]

[Geumja] All right!

-That's great. -Yes, that's great.

Bless you all!

-Bless you! -Give me a lot.

Give me a lot.

A lot.

Here's to a bountiful year of fish.

Jangsu, we're in for a year of plenty!

-[singing indistinctly] -Gosh!

Here, bless you all.

Bless you!

[crowd gasps]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

-Oh, no! -Oh, no!

Oh, no!

[person gasps, screams]

[Jiui] Wait. Please don't touch it.

[Mr. Park whimpers]

-Oh, my! -[Jiui] Let me see.

The rice, the pot… How could this happen?

Goodness! [whines]

EPISODE 10 IT'S NOT OKAY.

[♪ solemn music playing]

Goodness…

I ruined the sea ritual as the village chief.

What am I to do now?

It looked like just a pot to me.

That was no mere pot.

A year's worth of good fortune for Pyeondongdo rested on that sacred pot.

I see…

Right. Weren't you moving back into your house today, Ms. Hari?

Yes, today's the day.

My, I'm sure it couldn't have been easy, what with the construction dragging on.

And you had your work cut out for you,

-cleaning up the house every night. -[chuckles]

We're done. Thank you for your patience.

-[Mr. Park groans] Thank you. -Have a safe trip back.

-Okay. -[Jiui] Goodbye.

[Mr. Park grunts, sighs]

[Hari] Dr. Do.

Should we throw a housewarming party today?

-Mmm. -[chuckles]

[♪ cheerful music playing]

Whoa. [gasps]

It's just the way I remember it. How did you find the time to do this?

[gasping]

Hmm.

I brought you a housewarming gift.

Hmm? What is it?

[gasps] It's fried chicken!

I pulled some strings with Mr. Park since we're having a party.

[squeals]

[microwave bell dings]

-Here. -Thank you.

I was actually going to eat with my hands.

It's good.

-Do you like it? -Yes.

When I retire, I'm going to set up my own fried chicken place,

so I can eat it every day.

-Mmm. -[chuckles]

But are you sure they fixed these properly to last?

Why? Everything seems okay.

I'm just worried they might have done a hack job.

I'm just a little bummed out that you're no longer at the quarters.

What's there to be bummed out about? This is even better.

What?

[inhales deeply]

Well, the other doctors are at the quarters, so… [chuckles]

What did you want to do if we were alone?

It's not like I wanted to do anything.

It was just inconvenient having to text with a wall between us. That's all.

What do you want to do now that there's no wall?

Stop teasing me.

If you want to do something, feel free to do it.

There's no wall between us here and we're all alone.

Oh, come on! [sighs] That's not what I mean. [chuckles]

[♪ romantic song playing]

[wolf howling]

[gulps]

-[phone buzzing, ringing] -[music stops]

[sighs]

You're getting a call.

Oh, it-it's probably a spam call.

-I've been getting a lot. -Mmm.

[music resumes]

-[phone buzzing, ringing] -[music stops]

[smacks lips]

I think you should get that. [sighs]

-Right. [chuckles] -[chuckles]

-Hello? -[Ms. Hwang] Goodness, Dr. Do!

What took you so long to answer? [clicks tongue]

You have to hurry over to the center right now!

Uh, okay.

PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER

[patient groans] Goodness, it hurts so much.

What's the matter?

[stammers] Here. Over here…

-[winces] -Let me take a look.

-[patient groans] -[panting]

[yelps] Goodness!

-[Jiui] How about here? -[groans]

So this spot is fine.

-What about here? -[groans]

-No issues here either. -[winces]

[winces, yelping]

Oh! Oh, man! [yelping continues]

Does it hurt when I press down or when I let go?

[groans] I don't know.

-I'll try pressing again. -Okay.

[whimpers]

[shouts] Oh, goodness! Goodness! [groans]

How long has it hurt?

For the past few days, I think.

[breathing shakily] The pain is killing me, so please make it go away.

[Jiui] Pain upon removal of pressure from the lower right abdomen,

a typical symptom of appendicitis.

My goodness, please help me.

You need to go to a big hospital right now.

I'm not sure, but I suspect you have appendicitis.

-What is that? -Your appendix may have burst.

[winces]

-I'll hail us a medical boat. -Okay.

I'll give you a painkiller for now.

You can relax your hand.

The seas are too rough for a medical boat,

but a chopper is available, so I requested it.

-Let's go. -Okay.

[Jiui] Hang in there, sir. We're almost there.

[helicopter approaching]

They got here earlier than expected.

What a relief.

-[yelping] -[Jiui] We're almost there.

-Hang in there just a little longer. -[helicopter screeches, whirring]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[anchor] An emergency dispatch helicopter sent to transfer a patient

out of Pyeondongdo, Yeopoong-gun, has crashed,

resulting in the death of the pilot, Mr. Kim Hongcheol, who was 34 years old.

Fire authorities launched an investigation and are going over the CCTV footage

to find out the cause of the incident.

Fire authorities believe the fatal crash may have occurred

while the pilot attempted a risky landing to save an emergency patient.

Meanwhile, the patient suspected of having appendicitis

turned out to have nothing more than an upset stomach,

-adding to the tragedy. -[yelling, wailing]

It is a horrific incident caused by a public health doctor's misdiagnosis.

In the wake of this tragedy, concerns regarding the misdiagnoses

of incompetent public health doctors are growing,

pushing Governor Ko of Yeopoong-gun, to bow his head

and apologize on behalf of the Pyeondong Health Center.

First of all,

I'd like to express my sincerest condolences to Mr. Kim Hongcheol,

who lost his life to an unfortunate accident,

and to the family of the deceased.

The thing is,

our investigation into the PH docs has revealed quite a lot of issues.

Why are they blaming the PH docs for a helicopter crash?

[Changmok] The way they tried to transfer

a patient without a proper diagnosis, right?

They were in such a hurry to move him, you know?

Such decisions led to this tragic accident.

Maybe he should provide us with better equipment then!

People always need someone to blame when a major accident happens.

Is Dr. Do doing okay? I noticed he even took a leave of absence.

[Changmok] I'm sorry.

He hasn't come out of his room since the accident.

[Changmok] I'm so sorry.

[Ms. Hwang] Just turn it off.

Of course he's struggling. The whole world just turned on him.

But he's not going to get through this if he doesn't eat.

Dr. Do, it's me.

You should at least eat.

Dr. Do, it was just an accident.

It wasn't your fault.

But still…

If the pain gets unbearable, come and lean on me.

I promised I'd stay by your side, remember?

[♪ somber music playing]

Okay?

[panting]

[panting continues]

Oh, my. Oh, my. You have to try this right now.

"Ah, ah." Say "ah."

[groans]

-I'm a little queasy. -Why are you feeling queasy?

I think it's PMS. I feel so bloated every time.

If it's giving you a hard time, take some meds.

It won't get better if you try to endure it.

Okay.

Why is everyone starving themselves, huh?

Eating some food makes everything better.

Dealing with sadness on an empty stomach makes things worse.

I made this with local ingredients…

YOUR PERIOD IS 13 DAYS OVERDUE

-[Jeongseon] Thirteen days overdue… -[Ms. Hwang] Why won't you have any?

An empty stomach leads to sadness and illness.

Can't believe you're not having this.

-Granny, I'm here. -[Jinbae] Oh, my.

Uh, what are you doing here at this time? Huh?

Oh, we ran out of toilet paper at the center.

Oh, really?

Uh, how's Dr. Do doing?

He seems to think it's all his fault.

He won't even come out of his room.

Goodness gracious me.

The whole world's talking about him like that after all.

I feel so bad for him.

Even if he's shut his doors and won't come outside,

you should linger outside his room often.

You have to keep pestering him so he knows that he's got someone on his side.

It's the same with islands.

An island by itself is just a deserted island where no one can live.

The islands need people to keep hopping between them

and stay connected for them to become habitable, eh.

-[chuckles] -Mmm.

[door opens]

[crying]

Hmm?

Oh, why are you crying?

-Grandma. [crying] -Why are you crying?

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

She tripped because of me, and her doll got a little…

[Jinbae] Don't cry.

I'll get you another one, okay?

I don't want another doll!

There's only one Tosun!

Then we just need to stitch her up.

Don't cry, okay? Stop crying.

Stop crying now.

[gasps]

If you're okay with it, can I help you treat Tosun?

-Mmm. [sniffling] -[Hwayeong] Hmm?

I'm pretty sure I can do it.

[♪ tender music playing]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

Wow.

There, all done. Here.

Wow, she's as good as new.

Then you're going to forgive me now, right?

Thanks. [chuckles]

-[gasps] -[chuckles]

LUCKY SUPERMARKET

Where could it be?

Are you a surgeon?

[chuckles] How could you tell?

I used to be an OR nurse.

-Ah! -[chuckles]

No wonder we clicked so well.

[chuckles]

Wait.

Then are you a nurse at the Pyeondong Health Center?

-I am. [chuckles] -[gasps] That's great.

-Maybe you can help me. -Mmm.

I'm here to meet Jiui at the Pyeondong Health Center.

Dr. Do Jiui?

Mmm.

[♪ gentle music playing]

[softly] Who's that?

She said she's a friend of Dr. Do Jiui.

-[whispering] A friend. -A friend.

[softly] A friend?

But do you think he'll come down for her?

He hasn't opened his door for days.

[sighs]

Oh. There he is.

[♪ somber music playing]

[sighs] Come outside with me.

Why are you here?

[huffs]

You look terrible.

[music ends]

I came running as soon as I saw the news. I knew you would be like this.

Appendicitis is often tricky to diagnose.

The media has no idea what they're talking about

pinning the blame on you.

Please just leave.

-Jiui-- -Why couldn't you console me back then?

[♪ melancholic music playing]

[breathes shakily]

After Seonu's death…

that's what I wanted to hear from you most.

[Jucheon sighs]

They don't seem to be on good terms, so I wonder why she's here.

Especially at a time like this.

-[tires screech] -[horn honks]

SUGWANG BAIT AND TACKLE SHOP

[♪ tense music playing]

[Sugwang] It's an emergency! Emergency!

-Let me check your temperature first. -Okay.

Sir, you're just feeling a little queasy, right?

Send the urgent patients to me first.

-Okay. -Do you feel any pain,

or do you just feel nauseated?

-Let me take you to the exam room. -I feel nauseated.

Goodness, I feel like I'm dying.

-What seems to be the problem? -My insides are acting up like crazy.

Huh? Whoa. I think we need to check this patient first.

-Use this to clean it up. -Okay.

I'll take a look at him in my room. Are you okay, sir?

-Come with me, sir. -Okay.

[groans] Goodness, this is killing me.

-This way? -[Hari] Yes.

[Jiui] What happened?

They came here on a group tour, and they all shared some gimbap.

-Where is your discomfort? -Right, well…

[pants]

You're the doctor who was on TV.

I was kind of hoping to get examined by a different doctor.

Uh, I've, uh, got an underlying condition,

so I'm just worried that something terrible might happen

if I were to take the wrong meds. [groans]

-Sir, this doctor here is also-- -I-It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

I'm an ER doctor.

If it's all right with you, may I take a look?

Okay.

Sir, I'm going to take your pulse.

You're urinating less or it's gotten darker, right?

Gosh… [scoffs] …everything I drink just passes right through me.

He's going to be dehydrated. Prep an IV please.

-Okay. -Let's get you on an IV first.

Okay.

Goodness gracious me, this is torture.

I'm Lee Hwayeong, an ER doctor from Samjeong Hospital.

I'd like to offer my assistance if you don't mind.

We should sort the patients by their symptoms first.

Even if they got ill from the same food,

we can't give them the same prescription.

[♪ intense music playing]

We'll be sorting the patients now.

People with uneasy stomachs, people experiencing dehydration,

and those with stomach pain.

[groans]

It hurts a bit there.

-But it's not a sharp pain, is it? -No.

You said you had diarrhea. Are you also running a fever?

Let me take a look at you, sir.

Could you lift up your shirt a little?

[Hari] Please clench your fist for me.

Anyone here experiencing abdominal pain?

[Hyeon] Anyone having diarrhea?

-[Hwayeong] How does this feel? -Do you have abdominal pain?

The nausea will go away soon, but the diarrhea will last a few days.

-I'll prescribe you medicine for both. -Okay.

Three times a day for five days. Make sure you take all of them.

Your abdominal pain's mostly gone?

-Yes. -Right.

So you're feeling nauseous, and you have a migraine.

[thermometer beeps]

This should be fine.

But if your symptoms get worse, be sure to visit a hospital.

-Drink lots of water, okay? -Thank you.

[music fades]

[Hwayeong] Wow. [sighs]

Oh, gosh, things could have really turned ugly had it not been for you, doctor.

When those patients started flooding in, I was in full-blown panic mode.

I don't know how to thank you.

Please don't mention it. I'm just glad I could help.

[Ms. Hwang chuckles]

I'm going to go upstairs now.

Can I get something to eat?

I haven't had anything to eat all day.

Let's eat. I'm starving.

[♪ anxious music playing]

I'm going to my room now. Good work, everyone.

-Let's eat. -Let's eat.

-Let's eat. -Mmm.

Sounds good. Le-Let's eat. [chuckles] Let's eat.

[Ms. Hwang] You haven't eaten all day.

[stutters] Let's go outside. Let's go eat at Cliffside.

Cliffside?

[Jucheon] S-Sounds good.

Mmm!

-[gasps] The food here is delicious. Wow! -[Ms. Hwang chuckles]

I'm glad you like it.

I was worried it might not be to your liking,

-since you're from the city and all. -[chuckles]

By the way, how do you know Dr. Do…

Oh, I was just curious. [chuckles]

Since you came all this way, you seem close,

but at the same time… [hisses, winces] …you don't seem that close.

-[chuckles] -[chuckles]

-[murmuring] Stop it. -Jiui and I…

used to date in university for about five years.

-Huh? -[Jucheon gasps] Five years?

Oh, five years go by in a flash. It's nothing, really.

[Jucheon] I've never even dated someone for five whole years.

Would you just… [murmuring] She's right here.

Uh, oh, oh. [chuckles]

-So you only dated for five years, huh? -[Ms. Hwang groans]

-I see. -[chuckles]

That's when you're still young and naive.

Yeah, college kids are practically babies.

I felt like I had to come here when I saw Jiui on the news.

I know Jiui better than anyone else.

-[Geumja] Let's see now. -[Jeongseon] Au-Auntie, what is that?

Oh, I was going to ask you to get these to Dr. Do Jiui.

You know what they say about how an aching heart feeds off hunger.

In times like this, we should just keep feeding him.

-[stammers] Give it to me. -Uh-huh.

-I'll get it to-- -[Hyeon grunts]

You should give it to him, Ms. Yuk.

What?

You're the one Dr. Do needs most right now.

[Ms. Hwang] Right.

[Jeongseon] Oh, you're right. Ms. Hari should go.

It's not like we'd be of any use to him in this situation, right?

-You should hurry or it'll get cold. -[Ms. Hwang] Go make sure he eats it.

-I-I'll be going then. -[Geumja] Right.

Get it to him before it gets cold, okay?

-Thanks, Auntie. -Here you go.

-[Ms. Hwang mumbles indistinctly] -[Hari stammers]

Thank you for your help today.

[chuckles] Yes, of course. Mmm.

[Ms. Hwang] Mmm. There she goes.

Ms. Yuk.

-[sighs] -Huh?

[breathing deeply]

If you really are the person Jiui needs most right now,

please convince him to leave this island.

What?

[sighs] I've looked into it,

and there's a way for PH docs to be transferred.

-Jiui can get out of this-- -What do you mean by that?

Why should he have to leave? He did nothing wrong.

I didn't mean that he did something wrong.

I'm sure you've seen it for yourself.

Jiui's really struggling.

Living here must have been hell for Jiui.

It must have reminded him of Seonu, and he must have blamed himself.

Seonu?

Oh.

Then I guess you have no idea why an island would be hell for Jiui.

[sighs]

-Jiui-- -I think…

I'd rather hear it directly from him.

I'll be going now.

[♪ somber music playing]

[sighs]

[Hwayeong] Then I guess you have no idea why an island would be hell for Jiui.

[sighs] I guess Ms. Hari had to just leave it here.

I get it, though.

I have no idea how we should console him either,

since he's shut the door on us like this.

[Hyeon] Dr. Do Jiui.

Dr. Do Jiui!

[sighs]

What is it?

You should eat.

I'll eat later.

Eat right now.

Everyone's worried about you.

DON'T SKIP YOUR MEALS, DR. DO

[♪ tender music playing]

[sighs]

[Jucheon] Hurry up and dig in.

It's seasoned perfectly today.

I'm sorry to put you all through this.

[Jucheon] Please don't beat yourself up too much over it, Dr. Do.

You were only trying to save a patient.

[Hyeon] Anyone would have made the same call.

Do you really…

think so?

These days…

I'm so scared of being a doctor.

I'm so clueless about everything…

and I still have so much to learn,

so the fact that so many lives…

depend on the decisions I make…

really scares me.

Did you both dream of becoming doctors right from the start?

To be honest, I only became a doctor because everyone said I should.

Because they said studying hard and becoming a doctor was the dream.

So I studied like my life depended on it, and one day, before I knew it…

people called me "doctor."

I suddenly had to start treating patients.

Man, I was so nervous my hands were shaking like crazy, you know?

[Hyeon] I'm sure it's…

the same for everyone here.

You too, Dr. Hyeon?

It didn't seem like it.

I get scared every time.

Sometimes, I just want to hide.

[♪ gentle music playing]

[tapping glass on table]

-[taps] -[sighs]

WINTER FLU VACCINATION

-Can I have your name? -It's Kim Malsun.

Ms. Kim Malsun, are you feeling unwell today?

Not really.

I see.

-Let me check your temperature for you. -Okay.

PYEONDONGDO FLU VACCINATION

-[Hyeon] Are you allergic to anything? -[Malsun] Oh, no.

Have you ever experienced side effects…

You're a real trooper.

My, that does sting.

Don't rub it. Just keep applying pressure, please.

Goodness, you're all working so hard. Have some of this while you work.

-Thank you, Mr. Park. -Thank you.

We've had an amazing turnout from the residents today.

It must be because you did such a great job promoting this.

Well, actually, it's not because I promoted it well or anything.

They're just scared they might die.

-What? -Everyone's…

Anxious.

That falling ill on an island could really mean certain death.

A helicopter crashed here,

and over yonder on Jangmokdo, a granny passed away

from a heart attack because she couldn't get to a hospital.

But they have a health center and a helipad there.

Some good that helipad did.

The chopper couldn't even land and had to leave.

They didn't even put the finishing touches on those helipads

despite all that crap they pulled to get them made.

It's been one accident after another.

Goodness gracious me.

[sighs]

[♪ unsettling music playing]

-[phone ringing] -[exclaims]

Wait.

It's fine, I'll get it.

Using shoes as an excuse…

[ringing continues]

You've reached the Public Health Center.

Ms. Hwang.

[Ms. Hwang] Yes, Ms. Hari.

Would it be okay if I went home from here today?

[Ms. Hwang] Is something going on?

I just need to look into something.

[Ms. Hwang] I see. Are you also going to Jangmokdo?

Huh?

How did you know that?

[Ms. Hwang] Well, Dr. Hyeon also said he was going there to look into something.

-I guess you can tag along. -Ah.

Okay, be safe.

[Hari] Okay, Ms. Hwang.

Mmm. Right then.

Gosh, these are so dry. Got to eat them faster.

SCHEDULE FOR THE SECOND HALF-YEAR TRAINING SESSION

[Jeongseon] Dr. Yong, looks like you'll have to attend this over the weekend.

You'll be transferred to a different post soon after that,

so I guess this'll be your last training session already.

Time sure flies.

This is a good thing, I guess.

You always felt so cooped up here.

Ms. Eom, do you want to attend it together?

It's during the weekend anyway,

so a date on the mainland might be a nice change of pace.

There's also this really fancy restaurant I want to take you to.

Let's carve up some steaks and whatnot.

What do you say?

[♪ whimsical music playing]

I guess I shouldn't look like a slob since we're going to a fancy restaurant.

Since we're going out for steak, I guess I might as well splurge a little.

[humming]

[humming]

How much… This is insane.

How can they charge so much for a piece of cloth? [gasps]

People must be swimming in money or something.

Are they out of their…

What is it even made of?

Damn it.

DON'T SKIP YOUR MEALS, DR. DO

[♪ somber music playing]

[phone chimes]

[Hwayeong] Jiui, can you spare me a moment?

I'll be waiting outside until you come out.

JANGMOKDO DOCK

JANGMOKDO, PYEONDONGDO

-Hello. -[person] Oh my, hello.

-You're from the Pyeondong Health Center? -Yes.

I've been waiting for you.

I'm Lee Seongu from the Jangmok Health Center.

-Hello. -Thank you for your cooperation.

Not at all. The helipad's this way.

-Right this way. -Right.

Mind your step.

[Hyeon] I heard the chopper couldn't land.

[Seongu] Right.

They rushed the construction so much that they didn't have a lighting setup,

and the helipad was so disorganized that the chopper couldn't land.

Was the Pyeondongdo incident also caused by lighting issues?

We're not sure yet.

They're still investigating.

[Seongu] We all know why.

My buddy's stationed at Gayeongdo,

and things are a mess due to lighting issues there too.

I heard those bastards told them to only transfer the patients by boat.

What the hell can we do on an island when they block off the air routes?

Lighting…

Would you mind giving us that doctor's contact information?

[Seongu] Sorry?

On the day of the accident…

I don't think I saw any lights at the helipad either.

[Hari] Yes, hello.

I'm Yuk Hari, a nurse at the Pyeondong Health Center.

I'm looking into lighting issues at helipads in Yeopoong-gun.

Hello. I'm Hyeon Chiyeon, a PH doc at Pyeondong.

I heard they built a new helipad there recently.

I heard the last time you had an emergency patient,

you transferred them by boat rather than a chopper.

Is everything working properly?

Was there a reason you did that?

Oh, yes. Uh-huh.

-Lighting issues at the helipads? -[Hari] I understand.

Thank you.

[Hyeon] So the Yujae Health Center has stopped using medical helicopters?

[Hari] If the lighting isn't finished yet, that would impede landings and takeoffs.

-Have they wrapped up construction there? -I see.

[Hyeon] They suspended it?

So you're not using the helipad at all?

Uh. I understand. Okay.

[sniffles]

Oh, my.

[chuckles]

You two catch up. I'm going to go to the supermarket.

Thanks for coming.

I knew you'd keep waiting until I came out.

But I'm not here to hear you out.

I'm here to tell you about me.

I tried so hard to get past what you said about how we didn't deserve to be happy.

Though it felt unfair to Seonu.

But…

I just couldn't do it.

I think you were right.

We don't deserve to be happy.

So I don't need your consolation now, after all this time.

I won't leave you by yourself this time.

[♪ sad music playing]

I looked into it.

PH docs can also get transferred to a different station

if they have a valid reason.

If we were to get Gangseok to explain your condition to the county office,

you can get transferred.

Come with me, Jiui.

Will leaving this place…

help me forget Seonu?

Why didn't we think of that in the first place?

It was pitch black out there because they hadn't set up the lighting,

and they let Dr. Do take the fall for it

to hide their shoddy construction work.

I'm going to bring this up and make them take full responsibility.

-Don't do it. -What?

-I'll do it. -[exclaims]

I'm a PH doc who's only here for a year.

But no good will come of you making an enemy of Yeopoong-gun.

The chief told me that you might be staying on this island for a long time.

Oh.

[♪ emotional music playing]

Please let me do it.

Since it's a PH doc matter, let a PH doc handle it.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go tell him.

[Hari] Dr. Do!

[music stops]

Ms. Yuk.

The helicopter crash…

It was caused by Yeopoong-gun's reckless helipad construction projects.

I looked into it all day today,

and apparently, out of the 20 new helipads they built,

only three had functioning lights.

The lighting issue was also the reason

none of the CCTVs caught what happened.

So what I mean to say is…

[panting]

[♪ slow pop song playing]

The accident wasn't your fault, Dr. Do.

You need to know that.

That it wasn't your fault.

It wasn't your fault, Dr. Do.

Is that why you…

kept visiting all those islands? You did it for me?

So please stop hiding.

I can't be by your side if you keep hiding like that.

I'll stop hiding now.

[song ends]

[grunts] Ta-da.

[door opens]

[♪ dramatic orchestral music playing]

[panting]

Ms. Eom.

Is it too much?

Yes, it is too much.

[music stops]

It's too much because you look so pretty!

-Ah! [giggles] -[Jucheon chuckles]

Here are some flowers I brought for you.

[♪ romantic music playing]

Thank you.

I don't know if I put on weight or something,

but doesn't it look a bit tight on me?

Tight? Not at all.

You look so pretty. You look like an angel.

Come on.

[both laugh]

Our ferry will be leaving soon. Let's go.

-Come on. -Let's go.

Dr. Do!

Hey, what are you doing here on a weekend?

I brought this so we can have it together. [chuckles]

[sighs]

[♪ romantic music playing]

I was really craving pasta when I woke up this morning,

but I made too much since I'm used to making two servings.

-[Jiui chuckles] -Dig in.

This used to be my grandma's favorite.

Thanks for this.

[exclaims]

-Delicious, isn't it? -Mm-hmm.

That's right, Dr. Chiyeon said he filed a request at the county office

and demanded corrections from the outlets that published those articles.

-Ah. -They'll publish correction articles soon.

This isn't over yet.

I'll keep an eye on them till the very end.

We have to make sure everyone gives a proper apology.

This is good enough for me.

[chuckles]

Eat up. The noodles will get mushy.

[♪ opera music playing]

[server] Excuse me.

How can they charge so much for one meal?

Would you mind if I ordered for us?

I've actually read up on their best dishes in advance.

Sure.

We'd like the A course

with a medium tenderloin and some caviar on the side, please.

[server] Okay.

Would you like some wine?

[Jeongseon] How much is…

Do you have Château de Lune d'Or?

[server] Yes, we do.

We'd like that, and the jamón charcuterie board as well.

What grade is the jamón?

[server] It's 100% Ibérico de Bellota.

Sounds great. That'll be all.

[server] Yes, sir. Right away.

-[Jucheon] You're so pretty today. -[exclaims]

I get it, so please stop saying that.

But you really do look super pretty today.

[giggles]

[Jucheon] Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

At these prices, you'd expect a bigger portion.

Try this.

Didn't we order the same dish?

You're right.

But it tastes better when we feed it to each other like this.

You're so cheesy.

Being cheesy's what dating's all about.

Here, say "ah."

Ah.

How do you like it?

Delicious, isn't it?

-You can order more if you'd like. -Mmm.

Seriously?

What's wrong?

The others got to enjoy getting stranded due to terrible weather.

It's so unfair that we should get such clear skies during our visit.

Of all the things to complain about.

Dr. Yong, would you mind waiting here for a short while?

What for?

Maybe it's because of the tight clothes, but I've been feeling stuffy all day.

So I'm just going to grab some antacids at a pharmacy.

Mmm. Let me bring you one.

I'm not a baby, okay?

Hold this for me. I'll be right back.

-Don't take too long. -Okay.

I'd like some antacids, please.

Okay.

-That'll be 4,100 won. -Okay.

Here you go.

[cash register typing]

-[register beeps] -[receipt prints]

[announcer] The ship bound for Pyeondongdo, Pyeondongdo is now departing.

[sighs] What's taking her so long?

We'll miss the last ferry at this rate.

I guess that might be even better.

[chuckles, clears throat]

-[phone dialing] -Uh.

[phone vibrating]

[♪ sad music playing]

[phone continues vibrating]

[moans]

[sighing]

[passenger] I'm late.

Oh, man…

Dr. Yong!

Ms. Eom!

Why weren't you picking up?

I'm sorry. I had to go to the bathroom.

Okay. Let's hurry.

[ferry horn blares]

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

I'm sure my sudden leave must have put a lot of strain on everyone.

Come on, things like this happen out of the blue all the time.

Don't let it get to you.

[grunts]

By the way, shouldn't those articles have come out by now?

You're sure you told the county office,

the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the reporters, right?

Yes.

Then why haven't we heard a peep from them?

I mean, they were all up in arms when they were trying to ruin someone's life,

but they sure don't seem very interested in the truth.

So frustrating.

When are they going to come out anyway?

PYEONDONGDO HELICOPTER PH DOC

[exclaiming]

-It's out! -[Hari] Where?

"Health Center PH doc at Pyeondong where helicopter crash occurred

revealed to have been taking psychiatric medication"?

[♪ dramatic music playing]

"It has recently come to light

that the PH doc stationed at Pyeondong Health Center,

the recent site of a fatal helicopter crash,

had a history of receiving psychiatric treatment and medication."

"This has raised concerns that the misdiagnosis

may have been caused by a lapse in judgment

due to the medication he is taking."

"In response, Choi Hyangmi, the director of public health,

has stated that she will be putting the PH doc taking psychiatric medication

on standby and consider removing him from his post."

What the hell?

So they've resorted to spreading fake news just to shirk the blame now?

What the heck are they talking about?

What's this about a PH doc on medication?

It's all true.

Let me look into this.

No, Dr. Hyeon.

-But still, we should at least-- -Just don't!

I'm okay.

Oh, gosh…

[Ms. Hwang] How could something like this…

[panting]

[Gangseok] Those meds can cause side effects like memory loss, dizziness,

and hallucinations…

[anchor] It is a horrific incident caused by a public health doctor's misdiagnosis.

[Hwayeong] Appendicitis is often tricky to diagnose.

If we explain your condition to the county office…

How dare you come here!

How dare you!

[panting]

Dr. Do.

Dr. Do, are you okay?

Don't worry about a thing.

I'm going to prove that those meds

had nothing to do with your diagnosis, okay?

I can't take this anymore.

I'm so scared of being on an island.

[waves crashing]

[♪ romantic music playing]

I CAN'T BE BY YOUR SIDE

IF YOU KEEP HIDING LIKE THAT

PICK THE CUTIE PIE HERE

CUTIE PIE? WERE YOU LOOKING FOR ME?

IN ONE TAKE WITH NO BLOOPERS?

DOCTOR ON THE EDGE

Do you really think leaving the island will help him recover?

[Hwayeong] Jiui. You might actually have to step down as a doctor for good.

It just sounds a bit selfish.

The only way to treat unbearable pain is to run away from it.

[Hari] You must have struggled so much here,

surrounded on all sides by the ocean.

Surrounded or not, I wanted to hang in there because I had you, Ms. Yuk.

Looks like we just keep having to apologize to each other.

[Hwayeong] That's why Jiui wants to leave.

It's because he wants to live.
