(The last episode)

Who's that guy?

Well...

Was that a difficult question?

Okay.

I won't ask anymore.

It was Dr. Do In Beom.

Dr. Do is actually...

my cousin.

He's my aunt's son.

Oh, Director.

Director...

The alarm keeps going because he's fighting the ventilator.

I'm weaning.

- Nurse Oh. - Yes.

Please get me...

- whole dexamethasone. - Yes, doctor.

Director.

Let me take this tube out for you.

Suction.

I'm doing extubation.

Hand me the syringe.

Now, Director.

Take a big breath until you feel comfortable.

Breathe in slowly.

Breathe out.

How do you feel now?

Is it better to breathe?

You're okay.

You're all right.

I'm sorry, Director.

I...

I couldn't keep the promise I made with you.

I was wondering what has happened.

Since I asked Chairman Shin to meet several times,

but there was no answer.

He was hectic by the inheritance problem.

It's almost settled,

so I'm sure...

he'll give an answer to your matter...

as soon as he returns.

I heard you visited Doldam Hospital.

How did you know?

There's no way that Dr. Kim has told you.

There are quite a few people there...

who are my eyes and ears.

I guess...

Dr. Kim still bothers you quite a lot.

Not at all.

I'm just trying to get a hold of what's happening at Doldam Hospital.

Now that Chairman Shin Myeong Ho has passed away,

it's obvious that Dr. Kim has nowhere to turn.

There's no need to hold him in check.

Actually,

you should hold him in check.

He still has...

somewhere to turn.

A Cornered Stone Project?

What kind of a name is this for a project?

- Dr. Kim gave me this as homework. - Homework?

I noticed Moon Jung came in with his father just before.

But the atmosphere between the two was cold.

I guess they're not on good terms.

You have so much interest in somebody else's business.

You know Moon Jung seems like a person...

who can get along with anyone.

He's an easygoing person and sociable.

He's sweet, generous, gentle, and soft.

So I used to have a huge crush on him back in college.

I even joined a bone club just to get a glimpse of him.

Did you?

Once,

I've picked up somewhere that he only drinks the espresso...

so I drank espresso at day and night for a while.

It was so bitter.

I can't drink it even if someone gives it to me.

Isn't it funny?

Why are you staring at me like that?

I hate it, actually.

- What do you hate? - A black coffee.

Just so you know.

Have you...

been hiding in this place?

I wasn't particularly hiding.

I merely didn't call you.

Is it because...

you're still having a hard time from your divorce?

You're the only one...

who gives me a hard time in this world.

You know that already.

Living like this for over a year is enough.

Stop being sulky and come back.

I plan to live like this for some time.

Don't expect anything from me.

Why did you even study so hard to become a doctor...

if you were going to cooped up in this crappy countryside?

Living like this is way more meaningful...

than I was living as your petty source of brag.

I thought you went out.

Didn't your father come?

Yes, but he has to leave soon.

By any chance,

are you Dr. Seo Woo Jin?

Yes, that would be me.

One should...

live a life as someone who lends to others,

not someone who keeps borrowing from others.

You're still young...

and you shouldn't live as your father.

Excuse me?

From now on,

you should always...

be grateful to my son.

That's enough!

What is he talking about?

I don't get it.

He said he only drinks black coffee.

Why didn't he say so if he hated it?

Do you want to have it first?

No, I only drink black coffee.

Hey, you left your coffee.

I pressed the wrong button.

You can have it.

Did he...

mean to let me drink first?

No way. He couldn't have.

That's just not it.

I've gone too far.

(Professor Oh)

Hey, Eun Jae. It's been a while.

Have you been well?

Yes, I'm doing great.

How about you?

I'm on the go as always.

Speaking of which,

you should come back to the main hospital.

- Pardon? - I heard your fright is all cured.

Dr. Kim called and told me about you.

Dr. Kim told him?

Honestly, I gave up on you because you were a mess...

to be a surgeon.

I guess Dr. Kim is something indeed.

He cured you.

Why would...

Dr. Kim call him?

How come you know the name of those lenders' company?

The man you just met is...

the president of that company.

I thought he was your father.

Yes.

He is...

my father.

He's the big player of Myeong-dong...

and he's the owner of the company where...

your father has borrowed money from.

How come...

this kind of things...

always happen to me?

Start coming to the main hospital from next week.

I'll tell Dr. Kim you're coming back to the main hospital.

All right?

How come our lives...

won't leave us alone?

(Part 16 Koi's Law)

Hello.

Let's not be late. All right, Nurse Jung?

Nurse Joo.

What's going on between Dr. Yoon and Nurse Park?

See? I saw this coming.

What do you mean?

Playing double.

I bet Nurse Park has figured it out.

She's approaching!

Excuse me, Nurse Park.

Yes, Dr. Yoon?

Is everything okay?

What do you mean?

You know about the director and all.

He did become conscious.

Right.

What about us?

Are we okay?

Director.

How are you feeling?

What are...

all these?

They're TPN,

dopamine, dobutamine,

and mucolytics with some antibiotics.

That's...

a lot.

Now...

let's take these off.

But Director...

I lived as nature intended,

and I'm leaving as nature intended.

Just like you honored my life,

please honor...

my death also, Dr. Kim.

Dr. Park?

(Letter of Resignation)

Yes.

Chairman Do.

Hello.

I'm here to see Director Park.

He hasn't come to work yet.

Please have a seat.

I'll reach him.

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...

He's out of contact?

He hasn't even come to work.

And he turned off his cell phone.

This was on his desk.

What did...

Director Yeo want?

Death with dignity?

Yes.

That's what he said...

to Dr. Kim.

So...

is he going to proceed?

If the patient is determined,

we don't have a choice but to follow.

Yes.

What brings you here?

Actually,

I got a call from Professor Oh last night.

He told me to return to the main hospital.

Good for you.

Is it?

You've always wanted to return to the main hospital.

Isn't that good?

Don't you...

need me here?

I thought...

I've done a good job here.

Haven't I?

If...

you want me to hold on to you, then no.

I won't do that.

Does that mean you don't need me?

I'm saying I can't interfere in the decision...

that your career as a doctor depends on.

You could still give me an advice.

Take a seat for a moment.

Well,

if you decide to stay here,

you might...

need to wear out and sacrifice yourself...

in the future.

You'll be running to the OR every second because of the patients.

And in the flood of patients that repeats every night,

you'll wear down...

and be exhausted.

But...

someone has to do it.

You'll feel the weight on your shoulders in the front line,

which could be painful.

But when you look at the patients you've saved every day,

you'll definitely be able...

to feel pride as a doctor.

However,

if you decide to return to the main hospital...

What if I do?

You'll be building your career in a place...

with much better conditions.

They could also support your research better.

You'll make...

a lot of good personal connections.

And way more opportunities will present themselves...

from that.

According to the skills and experience you have,

you'll be rewarded materially.

But still...

Which is more...

like a doctor?

Which is a better life?

Which is a worthier life? If you're asking me about those,

I don't think anyone can judge the matter.

In life,

it's not a matter of comparing yourself with others.

It's a matter of your choice.

What's clear is...

that you're going to do well everywhere you go.

Whichever way you go and whichever choice you make,

don't doubt yourself, Eun Jae.

Do you understand?

Dr. Seo.

Dr. Seo.

Dr. Seo!

Do you have something to say?

I feel like you should say something.

I'm sorry,

but I haven't organized my thoughts yet.

I'm angry, but...

I don't know whom I should get angry at.

To tell myself that it's over...

and just overlook the matter since it's about our parents,

I'm dumbfounded...

by how things turned out.

But still,

it wasn't your fault.

If I leave this hospital,

would that make it easier for you?

I've gone through this a lot,

so I'm used to it.

I've lost my friends along the way,

and I've also lost someone that I had loved.

I never wanted to experience something like this again,

so I escaped all the way here.

But...

things never go as I expected.

What's wrong with you now?

Did Dr. Kim scold you?

The thing is...

Yes. What is it?

He wants me to come back.

Professor Oh wants me to come back...

to the main hospital.

When?

Starting next week.

That's good news.

Good for you.

Please give Dr. Park one more chance.

If you give him one more chance,

we'll make up for it by any means.

What's your name?

It's Yang Ho Jun.

I've been under Dr. Park for over ten years.

I'm prepared to do anything for Dr. Park.

Just tell me.

Why don't you tell me?

How far can you go...

for Dr. Park?

(Letter of Resignation)

(Park Min Guk)

I wonder...

if Dr. Seo is doing okay with the homework.

I'm not sure.

It must be quite difficult.

It's a tough diagnosis...

for a second-year fellow.

Do you know it?

What Dr. Kim's disease is?

I'm leaving.

You must know something.

Hey!

Dr. Bae!

Hey, wait!

Hey.

Have you heard?

Eun Jae is returning to the main hospital.

Yes, I heard.

We were talking about having a farewell party.

Sure.

You should prepare for it, Nurse Um.

Yes, I will.

Can we go someplace else other than Come and Go?

I told you there's no place like Come and Go.

I'm sick of going to Come and Go.

What's the diagnosis?

It's acute appendicitis.

Part of the lungs was cut in the past,

so I was wondering if it's a left lower lobectomy.

There's no effusion in there, right?

Well, it seems all right.

After a lobectomy, sometimes it's difficult...

to tell if it's early pneumonia or the reactive fluid.

I guess this patient is all right.

You think so?

Okay.

Anything else?

No, that's all.

Okay, then.

Okay, then.

What's up with the two?

I know.

Did they break up?

- What? - What?

I didn't know they were going out.

Were they not?

I thought they were.

I mean,

he wouldn't be like this even to someone else's dog.

It's me, not anyone else, who's leaving.

How can he seem so undisturbed?

Can you believe this?

She's leaving for the main hospital next week.

How could she announce it as if it was someone else's news?

She didn't even ask me about my opinion.

Of course,

nothing will change even if he stops me.

Of course,

it's not that I'll stop her or anything.

Even so,

he should at least care.

Even so, she shouldn't ignore me like this. Don't you agree?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Well, I was figuring out the situation.

I thought you were angry at me.

I didn't expect you to barge in here...

and talk to me about such an issue.

Does this make you uncomfortable?

No, it's fine.

As long as you aren't uncomfortable.

By the way,

why did you want to run away...

from your father?

I got divorced only after a month of my marriage.

Didn't I tell you that?

No.

It was the daughter of a congressman...

whom my father sponsored.

She said she married me...

because of my father's money, not me.

He thought he could anything with money,

and he ended up buying off his daughter-in-law too...

when I was sincere.

I didn't want to live as my father's puppet anymore.

I guess...

your life wasn't so great either.

It's nothing compared to your misfortunes.

What do I do...

with Eun Jae, that brat?

Just express your feelings first.

I can't do that!

We're friends from college.

Plus, we work at the same hospital.

I know we can't handle the aftermath if we break up.

You're worried about breaking up even before going out with him.

Aren't you going overboard?

I'm not sure...

I can date and work at the same time.

You can do less of the two together.

You don't have to be good at both.

I'm envious.

Why is everything so easy for you?

Why is everything so hard for you?

You have Woo Jin. You're a specialist and you're tall.

You have everything from my perspective.

Right.

Why is it so hard for me every time?

Are you leaving work?

Yes, I am.

Actually,

I have a question.

What is it?

Why...

don't you stop me?

Do you...

care that little about me?

I was just scared...

I'd lose you too...

if I got greedy and crossed the line.

What's with you?

I'm crossing the line right now.

Haven't you noticed it?

You wanted to go back to the main hospital.

So you don't want to stop me?

What if you regret it later?

Then,

I'll just do...

what you've taught me.

What I've taught you?

Reset.

Well, sorry.

I rushed it a little.

You know I'm quick to learn.

Dr. Bae.

- Are you leaving work now? - Dr. Yang.

You're still here.

Well, yes.

Dr. Park didn't come to work,

so I should keep the place, at least.

By the way,

does Dr. Kim have an illness other than CTS?

What do you mean?

I've heard...

- the rumors. - I'm not sure.

I don't know anything about it.

I see.

So you don't.

Okay, then.

See you around.

As of today,

we will respect Director Yeo's will...

and stop his life-sustaining treatment.

If you...

want to go say the last goodbye to him,

go ahead...

and do that.

Dr. Kim talked about goodbye,

and he sounded unexpectedly calm.

And...

our last goodbye wasn't...

as serious as we thought either.

If I fail the Board Exam,

will you take me in here again as a hired doctor?

- Dr. Jung. - Yes?

What do you think?

I think she's just being a crybaby.

Just go do a good job on your exam.

When people are good at something,

they tend to be a real crybaby.

I wish that's true, Nurse Joo.

Nurse Um.

I'm sorry. I really wasn't going to be like this.

Don't cry.

It's sad that we're parting away,

but perhaps,

dying isn't...

too sad of a thing.

Shall I sing a song for you?

Hey, you punk.

Don't force yourself.

You aren't that good at singing.

Will you do that for me, Dr. Yoon?

Sure.

I'll sing my favorite children's song for you.

A children's song?

Quiet.

Even if it blooms anywhere

Even if it blooms without any name

Even if it blooms the way it is

It's still a flower

It's a flower even if it blooms in a mountain

It's a flower even if it blooms in a field

It's a flower even if it blooms on a street

It's all a flower

Even if it blooms anywhere

Even if it blooms the way it is

Even if it blooms without any name

Come in.

Dr. Kim.

Director Yeo is waiting for you.

I see.

Let's go.

Nurse Oh,

please get me 100 ml of pethidine mixed with a 100 ml of NS.

Yes, doctor.

Please remove the TPN with dopamine and dobutamine.

Yes, doctor.

I'll do it.

Director Yeo.

All these hanging wires are sorted out now.

Well,

there's nothing else we can do now.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to you all...

but this is a grateful...

and happy farewell for me.

Everyone,

take care of yourselves.

And Dr. Kim...

Yes, I'm right here.

I hope you achieve the trauma center...

someday.

Sure.

I'll make sure...

to make it come true.

I'll see you later.

Whatever kind of parting,

it always leaves a mark on a person's heart.

It's usually agonizing,

painful,

sorrowful,

or lonely.

So I don't want...

to say goodbye to anyone anymore.

But...

What is it?

It's about the assignment you gave me.

I have the answer.

(A Cornered Stone Project)

What should I do?

I can't find the clue yet.

What about we narrow the scope down?

- What do you mean? - Dr. Kim said so.

I don't think it should be handled by GS.

Let's take away GS first.

It's neither CTS nor OS,

so OS should be out as well.

What about cardiac surgery?

It didn't seem related to symptoms mentioned by Dr. Kim.

CS is out as well.

We only have one left.

It's emergency medicine.

We should look at those that did not undergo operations...

among the emergency cases in Doldam Hospital.

It's been two years since I last proposed a case.

But even this was proposed by Dr. Yoon Seo Jung.

Isn't there anyone...

who knew about the project as much as Dr. Yoon did?

I joined the Cornered Stone Project since the beginning.

But what is it about?

Dr. Kim gave him an assignment.

He said he won't receive surgery for CTS until Dr. Seo solved it.

Please share the symptoms with me. Let's look for it together.

(NU: neurology)

(Medical Record)

(Multiple sclerosis)

You're my doctor, so you should reschedule...

the operation date with the OS.

Okay?

Yes.

This is the best spot...

on this lake.

I wonder what I'm doing with my life...

that I can't even see this scenery even when it's right in front of me.

Why did you want to see me?

I'm getting an operation for CTS on my right wrist.

And?

I won't be able to perform any operation...

during the three weeks of my treatment.

So?

I wanted you to do the operations...

during that period, Director Park.

I don't understand.

Why are you asking me to do that?

That's because you're still the director of Doldam Hospital.

I'm sorry, but I've left that position already.

I think your favor has nothing to do with me.

Go look for someone else.

Are you running away again?

If you keep running away like that,

you won't be able to get out of anything.

Just because you're teaching some nobodies...

and have become their boss,

it seems like you want to teach everyone now.

It's not right to treat me the same...

as people with defects like them.

You shouldn't call it a defect,

but a wounded heart.

That wound can be found in me...

as well as you.

It's only for three weeks.

Don't do it for me...

but think about it...

as a fellow doctor.

Dr. Park,

you're here.

I couldn't reach you, and you didn't come to work either.

I was so worried about you.

Did you take my resignation letter?

- Yes. - Bring it right now.

I threw it already.

Who told you to do that without my permission?

I'm sorry.

But...

you shouldn't also be writing a resignation letter...

without me knowing.

I've put in all my time and efforts for you...

all these years.

- What did you say? - You know,

I put my all in for you.

You can't fall apart like this.

It's all because of some absurd doctor...

in this rural hospital.

Look, Dr. Yang Ho Jun.

I can't accept...

your resignation letter.

You've done everything according to your own means.

You made decisions all by yourself.

I can never allow it.

Do you understand?

How pathetic.

You can call me pathetic,

a scumbag,

or a dumbhead.

But you keep your place.

All right?

Have you gone mad?

When you said you were coming down here,

I followed you without complaining.

I poured your drinks, I drove your car,

and all the other dirty work,

I've done them with no complaints.

But do you know why I did all that?

I wanted to become successful.

Okay?

I wanted to be...

under Dr. Park Min Guk who's famous and capable,

and I wanted to be part of the mainstream!

But if you collapse so ridiculously,

what should I do with my life?

You can do whatever you want with your life,

but what about me?

Your post is...

still empty at the main hospital.

I'll take measures so that you can return.

I'd rather serve you...

than be abandoned.

I've been loyal to you for the last ten years.

Now you'll take care of me.

Don't run away and stay in your post...

to be held responsible for the last ten years of my life.

Now...

shall I get going?

What are you all doing here?

Let's go.

What are you all doing here?

Now...

please take good care of me, doctors.

- Let's get inside. - Dr. Kim.

You should say hello first.

You're all here.

Mr. Gu!

Now...

I'll ask you the last question I have left.

Why did you give me this assignment?

You needed intuition and luck. You said so yourself.

You're right. For us, surgeons,

intuition and luck are very important.

But to have that much intuition and luck,

you must remember that you also need...

as much effort and experience.

In those files,

an enormous amount of information...

on emergency trauma surgeries and first aid...

since I first came to Doldam Hospital is written.

The surgeons that participated in the project...

had reviewed them as few as 5 to 6 times...

and as many as dozens of times.

The procedures were simulated in different ways...

including the successful ones...

and the failed ones.

"Could there be a better way?"

"Could there be a way that could damage the patient less?"

They've searched and studied those.

We have a patient!

Intercostal vessel.

When I found the pneumothorax...

and grabbed the intercostal vessel,

they weren't purely because of intuition and luck.

There's only one way to reduce your mistakes...

as a surgeon.

Practice and experience are everything.

So we've put together all the cases we've dealt with...

to make a new protocol.

They're being saved in what's called...

A Cornered Stone Project.

If you've worked so hard to build that,

why did you give it to me?

Because now you're part of the project.

Is that answer...

good enough for you?

Hand me the Senn retractor.

One more Senn retractor.

- Nurse Joo, adjust the light. - Yes.

How does it look, Dr. Bae?

Self retractor.

Now we have the transverse carpal ligament.

- It's a serious infection. - It is.

He's performed all those surgeries enduring this pain.

All we need to do is get rid of tenosynovium.

(Director Park Min Guk)

(Letter of Resignation)

Let's move the patient in 1, 2, 3.

Take it out in 1, 2, 3.

Patient, do you have a chronic disease?

Have you been diagnosed with any disease or prescribed with any drug?

No,

I haven't. My stomach...

- hurts so much. - His vitals, please.

It's 120, 70, and the rate is 110.

I'm going to press your stomach.

This is around his liver.

Connect the lines and do an OP lab test.

Give him two liters of oxygen,

and tramadol on the side.

Yes, doctor.

We'll take the CT scan and the X-ray when we connect the lines.

- Dr. Yoon. - Yes.

I'll give out orders, so when we get ready for the CT scan,

- check the FAST exam. - Yes, doctor.

We'll take a sonography test before the CT scan.

What is that?

You should go. We're almost finished here.

(Professor Oh)

Yes, professor.

What? Situs inversus?

The one with the reversed organs?

It seems that all of his organs are reversed,

so it's situs inversus totalis.

- Have you seen this before? - No.

I've seen it in a book, not in a real patient.

The contrast medium is leaking here.

The vessel in the mesentery must be damaged.

I don't think his spleen is torn due to trauma.

I think he has multiple spleens.

Situs inversus is caused by malrotation.

Sometimes a patient with malrotation...

has multiple spleens.

(Malrotation: Abnormality in which organ is formed in a wrong way)

We should still do an OP lab test.

What do we do? Dr. Kim is unavailable.

Dr. Park, wait!

We have a TA patient.

It's situs inversus.

He has situs inversus totalis...

and multiple spleens.

He has hemoperitoneum, so he needs an operation right now.

But I'm not experienced in it.

Please help us.

Are you running away again?

If you keep running away like that,

you won't be able to get out of anything.

Don't do it for me...

but think about it...

as a fellow doctor.

Dr. Park.

- Where's the patient? - In the hybrid room.

I'll check the patient's condition.

Get ready for the FAST exam.

Bu Yong Ju, you son of a gun.

So this is what you've been hiding from me.

Will that...

be enough to kick Dr. Kim out of Doldam Hospital?

It depends on how you frame it.

You've done a great job.

You've done something...

that even Dr. Park failed at.

What was your name?

It's Yang Ho Jun.

From now on,

I'll remember your name,

Dr. Yang Ho Jun.

What's up? Have you been waiting for me?

Do you want to go for coffee?

It's good.

Tell me.

You have something to say to me.

Goodness.

Do you read people's minds now?

I've known you since college.

Now just by looking at your face,

I can tell if you're in a good mood,

if you're in a bad mood,

if you're struggling,

if you're embarrassed,

or if you want to say something.

I can figure out that much.

Actually,

I got a call from Professor Oh.

Urgent patients crowded in,

so he has three big operations to perform.

He asked me if I could come to help him out.

He said it'd take about 2 to 3 days.

So you'll go to the main hospital?

I couldn't say no to him. He's my supervisor.

Can I pay a visit there?

Of course.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Hey.

Sleepy morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, Dr. Yoon.

How did your exam go?

When will the result come out?

Does anyone want coffee?

I do.

What are you doing here alone?

I'm thinking about how I could hide myself.

You don't know how the result will be.

Don't be concerned already.

Everyone in Doldam seems...

like a genius.

But I'm such a fool.

You're a genius too.

- I am? - Yes.

You're a genius at smiling.

Nurse Park,

you're back as Nurse Park I like.

You were a little stiff and scary recently.

It's not that I was stiff.

I was being lame.

Actually,

when I heard you and Dr. Do were related,

I somehow felt...

a strange distance between us.

It's true In Beom's family is rich.

But mine is just ordinary.

My dad is an elementary school teacher.

My aunt and uncle were always busy...

so In Beom came over to my house from time to time.

But after he joined medical school, I kept bothering him.

Ah Reum.

Why do you like me?

Because you're handsome.

I like your handsome face,

your handsome personality,

and your handsome heart.

I'll try harder...

to be more handsome to my girlfriend from now on.

Okay.

All right, let's see.

- How is it? - It's good.

I no longer feel the pain that kept torturing me.

I can move it much with ease.

I feel like I can start performing surgery right away today.

I can't allow that.

It's not just surgery.

Refrain from doing anything that could strain it.

Don't worry, doctor.

I feel like...

I can work with this hand for 30 years, at least.

Keep taking your medicine.

Let's start rehab next week.

And follow our instructions already.

Okay, Dr. Bae.

Dr. Kim!

It's finally here. This!

Later.

Let's talk later.

Well, okay.

We don't have to be so worried.

The surgery went better than expected.

He's recovering fast too.

Besides, it seems Dr. Kim is behaving extra carefully.

I see.

Oh, what about Eun Jae?

Any calls from her yet?

- Did you say 2 days? - It's 2 to 3 days.

Make it two days.

Okay, two days.

If you don't come, I'll go get you.

Look.

My best concern these days is here.

How can I not come back?

Don't you agree?

Drive safely, okay?

Okay.

She left like that,

but it's already been more than a week.

No, almost ten days.

She isn't coming back without any news or calls.

I can tell she's stuck with Professor Oh.

You know,

he's known for his greed over people.

If one is skilled, he makes sure they become his person.

He's very thorough at managing his bandwagon.

Aren't you going to eat ramyeon?

- It might get soggy. - Right.

Anyway, the way I see it,

Eun Jae is...

Goodness.

She isn't coming back, Dr. Seo.

Suction.

Suction.

- Suture. - Suture.

- Cut. - Cut.

What has happened to you for the past two months in Doldam?

This is all thanks to Dr. Kim.

I've learned so much.

Why don't you...

operate on the lobectomy while you're at it?

But I've done three more than we promised.

If you work here for a year or two,

you will be on a roll.

Why go back to that countryside?

Stay under my supervision, and you'll have wings.

I'll make sure to get you those wings.

Why didn't you do that sooner?

When I was poor and lost...

When I dozed off or fell down out of fright in an OR,

you should've trusted and taught me.

You know you were...

a disaster at that time.

Do you know...

what Koi's Law is?

What is that?

Depending on where the fish grows,

it grows into a different size.

What does that have to do with you?

I'm sorry,

but to stay in your tank,

I've grown too big.

Please excuse me.

That punk.

Dr. Kim said...

One is bound to perform as much as they're trusted,

mature as much as they're cherished,

and develop as much as they're acknowledged.

Depending on my surroundings and thoughts,

I can make a huge difference in results.

I've heard...

you performed 15 operations for a week.

The staff members are praising how great you were in the OR.

You're that good at handling emergency operations,

so why is it...

that you operated on cancer patients only?

I've kept telling you from the start.

I like routines.

Patterned and stable situations.

Situations under my control.

Let me guarantee you.

Dr. Park, you are...

one of us.

You used me as an excuse,

but you were drawn to come here.

No, you got it wrong.

Let's just work together.

Twisted doctors like us...

aren't the type to deal with VIPs.

We're more of the type...

to be stuck in nowhere like this one and save people...

according to our convictions.

Don't you agree?

So...

stop running away.

But if I choose to stay,

things will be more tiresome for you.

It's not too bad...

to be anxious in a certain degree, you see.

The system needs to be changed too.

Do you have any idea?

If I choose to stay here,

I'd like to turn it...

into a regional trauma center under the government's support...

in three years.

I want this to be a trauma center more than anyone else.

In order for that to happen,

we will have to go through numeral political issues.

Will you be able to handle it?

Deal. Let's do it.

Okay?

You know what?

Dr. Kim,

you are a total lunatic.

Hi.

Put me through Vice-minister Lee of Ministry of Health and Welfare.

That's how Dr. Kim...

started to put dreams together...

one by one in Doldam Hospital.

(Announcement of Successful Applicants)

Finally.

Wait.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Did I fail it?

It's okay,

I can study harder and take the exam again next year.

I can invest one more year to achieve my dream...

after 20 years.

You passed.

Pardon?

Are you serious? Did I really pass?

Of course, you did. As well as the 96 percent of the examinees.

Let me see.

It's there.

My name is right there.

Oh, my gosh! I really passed.

- Congratulations. - Congrats.

- Congratulations. - Make sure you treat us.

What was your dream you wanted to achieve after 20 years?

That was...

to become like Dr. Kim in Doldam Hospital after 20 years.

- That's new. - Wait a minute.

After 20 years, I would be...

You'd be 68.

I want to be like Nurse Oh in Doldam Hospital.

That would be awesome.

You'd be the Dr. Kim and Nurse Oh after 20 years.

- It sounds great. - Dr. Kim and Nurse Oh need...

to work harder if you don't want to be caught up.

I would gladly lay down my title...

if it's for them.

- Don't you think so? - I totally agree, Nurse Oh.

Both of you have become very natural...

in your agreement in opinion these days.

- Let's go back to work. - Let's go to work.

What was that?

- Dr. Jung. - What are you going to do about it?

I'm going to announce that you're dating.

Why did you come here again?

It's obvious why I'm looking for you.

One is to remove you from Doldam Hospital.

What's the other reason?

It's to remove you together with this Doldam Hospital.

Chairman Do,

I compliment on your consistent behavior.

I'll acknowledge that.

I see you have MS.

So what do you want?

You dropped instruments in the OR.

You're even getting a CTS operation.

Your hand is now destroyed.

Even your nerves are becoming a mess.

Do you still think you can perform operations?

Why can't I?

The CTS operation was a success, and I'm recovering well.

My MS is only slight, so it's under control with medicine.

However, regarding this MS,

it can become a problem...

if I wanted to make a problem out of it.

That's true.

It's always possible to make a problem...

out of nothing.

So,

the Geosan University Foundation is considering your resignation.

Why are you holding that meeting here?

Haven't you heard?

The final authority over personnel...

in Geosan University Hospital and Doldam Hospital...

belongs to the Foundation.

Manager Jang.

Yes?

Give that to me.

It looks good.

(Certificate of Establishment of Medical Corporation)

This just happens to arrive today.

(Corporate Name: Doldam Medical Foundation)

- What is this? - Didn't you know?

This Doldam Hospital has...

nothing to do with Geosan University Hospital.

It has become an independent body.

- What did you say? - We would receive an annual aid...

of four million dollars from Geosan University Foundation,

but we would maintain complete independence...

for the management of the hospital.

This is the last will of President Shin Myeong Ho...

before he passed away.

He was busy regarding inheritance issues.

Actually,

you should hold him in check.

He still has...

somewhere to turn.

(Chairman Do Yoon Wan)

Yes, Chairman Do. It's been a long while.

That's right.

My father put that in his will.

That delayed the inheritance issue.

What can I do?

He told me he wouldn't give me a penny...

if I didn't protect Doldam Hospital.

Don't be too upset about it.

I almost forgot.

How is Dr. Kim doing?

No one is on my side.

No one!

Chairman Do.

I have no one.

Chairman Do!

Don't come back to Doldam Hospital ever again.

Shut your mouth!

Don't set your eyes on Doldam Hospital.

Don't even bother us here.

Don't push and distort any nonsense...

as if it was the truth.

Do you get me?

Naive people could fall for it.

You scumbag.

Bu Young Ju!

Let this go.

You messed up my clothes.

Stop making a fuss and leave.

Move aside.

Get out of my way.

Don't you know who I am?

I'm the chairman.

Mr. Gu!

Please leave.

Chairman.

Oh, no, Dr. Kim.

- What's wrong? - There's a fire in the sauna.

How many people are injured?

There are 24 casualties,

and seven are seriously wounded.

- You heard that. - Yes.

There are 24 injured, but there may be more patients.

- Nurse Oh. - Yes.

Distribute the patients on-site according to their injuries.

Send the slightly injured patients to a nearby hospital...

and send the seriously injured patients to Doldam Hospital.

Yes, doctor.

Dr. Seo, Dr. Bae, and Nurse Park will...

check the patients' conditions together with Dr. Jung.

- Yes, doctor. - Hurry up.

Dr. Yoon!

- Manager Jang. - Yes, Dr. Kim.

Call Director Park...

I'm here.

What are you doing? Aren't you going to work?

No, I will.

Let me go and quickly change my clothes.

Shall we go and get the OR ready?

But I promised to play a game with my son today.

Did you see that?

These are the doctors we have.

This is the Law of Conservation of Romance.

Many people know of its existence...

but do not believe that it actually does.

These are beautiful values...

that people want others to keep for them.

To love means to walk a new path every day.

It's facing the reality...

that keeps flooding in whether we like it or not.

We have a patient.

Dr. Jung, put him in bed number one.

Yes, let's go to bed number one.

Bring him to the hybrid room.

Bring him to bed number two. Come over here.

In 1, 2, 3.

Be careful.

We can't find the right answers all the time,

but Dr. Kim always tells us.

Don't stop asking yourself...

why we live and what we're living for.

The moment we give up on that question will be...

the end of our romance in life.

All right?

And that's what he tells us.

Is Mr. Kim Do Hyun's guardian here?
