HOSPITAL PLAYLIST

Who is it?

Why did you leave without seeing me?

Where are you? Let me buy you dinner.

I won't mention becoming a priest. Have dinner with me.

I didn't come here to see you.

I'm leaving now. Get back to work.

Mom!

I'm having dinner with Jong-su.

Bye.

He is on a business trip. What--

Mom. Mom!

What are you doing here?

If you're free, you should hide in the on-call room now.

It's all right. Thanks for looking out for me.

Shouldn't you be off now?

You're kind of a workaholic.

I'm not working. I'm waiting for Song-hwa to have dinner together.

She's talking to someone, so I'm waiting for her now.

You're worried about something, right?

Tell me. I'll help you out.

Tell me.

Professor Lee.

-It's nothing. -What is it?

-It's nothing. -Gosh, I want to figure out what it is.

I'm sure it has to do with Jeong-won.

Should I bring him here alive?

No, don't do that. He'll get hurt.

My gosh.

Gyeo-ul, I'm just curious, okay?

Since

when did you like Jeong-won?

I'm just curious.

Isn't that obvious?

I heard you're transferring to the Sokcho branch.

I told him about it just this morning.

Gosh, words travel fast here.

I'll transfer to the branch too.

You can't.

Come on, be reasonable. Why would you work there?

Because you are going there.

Get a grip, Chi-hong.

There are no residents over there.

If you transfer, you'll have to do everything on your own.

It's not worth giving up your position here.

Besides, if you transfer before you become the chief,

it might backfire during your interview later.

It's not a good decision for your career.

Chi-hong.

Who would transfer in their fourth year of residency?

Instead, assist with more surgeries and meet more patients.

That's what you need the most and that will become your assets.

The last year of your residency will be the most important period for you.

Just hang in there for one more year and get the board.

Okay?

I will make decisions

for my life.

Kim Sang-man is in the OR now. I'll get going now.

HOSPITAL PLAYLIST

I was just about to call you.

-What are you doing? -I just got home.

-What about you? -I'm about to get off work.

You're getting off work really early today.

What's your plan after work?

I'll head over to you now. Don't go to sleep yet.

-Now? -Yes. See you soon.

Do you want to eat or starve?

Did something happen again?

Really?

Gosh, life is

so shitty.

I can't believe your father. Now you can't even talk shit about him.

I LEAVE ALL OF MY ASSETS TO MY SON, YANG SEOK-HYEONG

When was this will written?

It was probably this spring.

It was the day when Ms. Kim Tae-yeon told him about her pregnancy.

He drafted it that night.

That crazy bastard.

Did he leave anything to Ms. Kim?

None, to my knowledge.

The chairman considered Ms. Kim nothing more than his caregiver

who will look after him until he dies.

That's what I have gathered based on my knowledge.

What a jerk.

He impregnated her with a child.

That's a load of crap.

That selfish jerk.

He only cared about himself all his life, that worthless leech.

Is there anything else in the will?

Like his last words to your mother and you?

There is.

He wants me to run the company.

He wrote that I should quit my job and run the company.

He's surely interested in my life.

So

will you quit your job?

YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

-Hello, Professor Lee. -Hello.

-What's the line for? -To consult.

I need to consult Professor Chae about something.

Mine is about my career.

She's busy and sick.

Hello.

Dr. Yong, what did you talk about?

About dating.

-She talks about dating, too? -Yes.

She can do it all.

She's better than a professional consultant.

I miss those days...

Let's eat.

-Sir! -Sir!

-Be quiet. -I have a lecture in 20 minutes.

Get lost, Ik-jun. Dr. Do?

Beautiful Chae Song-hwa!

I only have eyes for you!

Hello, Professor Chae.

MEN'S CHANGING ROOM

This is Ahn Jeong-won speaking.

Hello, this is Bae Jun-hui from Emergency Medicine.

Hello.

I have a seven-year-old girl with blunt trauma to the abdomen.

She is mentally alert and her BP is fine for now.

But her heart rate is high.

I did an echocardiogram with FAST, and she has grade-four liver laceration.

I saw symptoms of hemoperitoneum, so I took an abdomen CT.

And there's active bleeding.

Okay. I'm on my way now.

Dr. Jang.

Yes? Yes, Professor Ahn.

There's a seven-year-old girl with blunt trauma in the ER.

Her vitals aren't good, so we need to operate now.

Call Anesthesiology and get me an OR as soon as possible.

And order transfusion for the patent.

Okay.

Hello, this is Jang Gyeo-ul from GS.

You're helping Seok-hyeong with his paper? Why?

Why do you think? He asked me for help.

-Seok-hyeong asked you? -Yes.

Why is he here?

Hello, Professor Yang. Sit right here.

Which department do you not hang around, Ik-jun?

I go everywhere.

-Seok-hyeong. Teddy Bear. -What?

Did you ask Dr. Chu to help you with your paper?

Residents are busy. Don't bother them.

I did?

We don't have soup. Who wants cup noodles?

You two should finish this. I have outpatients.

-Eat up. -Okay.

Please come this way.

I did run the test.

Her liver is severely lacerated,

and a blood vessel is still bleeding in her abdominal cavity.

We must undergo laparotomy now.

We will try to find the damaged blood vessel

and stop the bleeding by ligating it or performing hemostasis.

We may have to cut the parts

that are too damaged for us to stop the bleeding.

How long is the surgery?

It will take at least two hours.

If the surgery gets difficult, it may take up to four hours.

But I'll have to start the surgery to check more in detail.

I'll do my best.

What?

Why not? We're married.

Well, that's...

We really had a wedding, and we have wedding photos, too.

There are a lot of witnesses.

Doctor, he's been suffering from ascites lately.

And a while ago, he coughed up blood, so he had an endoscopy.

Doctor, he needs to be treated urgently.

I understand your point, but even if you're a couple,

your marriage must be registered--

We'll do it. We'll register it today.

Even if so,

the regulation set by KONOS states that you must be married

for a year for the living-donor liver transplant to be approved.

To prevent any organ trade,

getting approved as a donor is quite complicated.

I'm okay. I'm not going to die anytime soon. Okay?

You're not going to die.

Don't say stuff like that. Your mother is here, too.

I would recommend getting a transplant right now,

but if you have to wait for the donor,

let's get treated first.

Why don't we

proceed with the living-donor liver transplant after a year?

We'll monitor you as well.

When was your wedding?

Four months ago.

Had we registered our marriage then,

there would have been only eight months left to wait.

If you don't mind,

can I ask why you didn't register your marriage?

I told them not to do it.

When they were dating,

my son was diagnosed with cirrhosis.

Both families were against their marriage,

but they went ahead and got married.

It was me who stopped them from registering their marriage.

She's a precious daughter to her parents.

If something happens to my son,

what about her?

Doctor.

What do I need to do while we wait for a year?

I will exercise diligently and stay healthy.

If I need to take medicine, I'll make sure I take it.

I will come back after a year,

meet you again in this very office,

and get the approval for the surgery.

Doctor, please.

Please save my husband.

Please?

Here's a quiz for you.

I think

they met for the first time while traveling.

Or...

was it a blind date?

I want the husband to get the liver from a brain-dead patient.

What are the criteria for him to receive a donation from a brain-dead patient?

You don't know?

I'm sorry.

Goodness, this is an elementary quiz.

-Study about that until tomorrow. -Okay.

Next patient.

By the way, how did she get hurt?

She was on a scooter and tripped over a speed bump.

And the handle hit her stomach pretty hard.

My gosh.

I bet her parents are heartbroken. How sad must they be?

I'm sorry.

Dr. Jang, your parents must be very heartbroken too

if they knew you don't even have time to eat at work.

Dr. Jang, I'll buy you something delicious later.

No.

Professor Ahn, treat her to a delicious meal.

I've been seeing her around the most lately.

No, it's okay.

Mixter, please.

Suture, please.

If the surgery goes well and the patient recovers,

I'll take you out for a nice meal.

Thank you.

When you tie, loosen your shoulder.

Don't pull too hard. The blood vessel here is weak.

Okay.

Metzenbaum scissors, please.

Professor Min is sensitive during his rounds.

Check the lab results thoroughly,

and make sure the first-year residents check them, too.

When preparing for conferences,

make sure you don't leave out any materials.

Familiarize yourself with the presentation to lead the conference.

Chi-hong, did you find a place?

Not yet.

And you should move as soon as possible.

You'll be busier once you become a chief.

You should at least sleep well in your own place.

I like the on-call room. Moving is a bigger hassle.

Seok-min.

Moving is a bigger hassle.

Seok-min, you've been out here a lot instead of studying for the board.

-Hello. -Hi.

I'm not done handing over my tasks to him.

Besides, Dr. Do didn't even start studying for the board.

What is it, Professor Chae? Do you not like seeing me here?

Should I not come back?

I doubt you'll stop coming even if I ask you.

-Chi-hong, Yun-bok. -Yes?

Let's go. I'll take you out to dinner.

-What about me? -And me?

You two should eat together.

Please, no.

I heard the faculty cafeteria is serving short rib soup for the first time,

and it's packed. There's only one table left.

Just think. Should I not take Chi-hong, the future chief?

Or should I leave Yun-bok, the future NS resident, behind?

Seon-bin and I should butt out.

Exactly. We'll get going.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Bye.

-Bye. -Bye.

I'm sorry.

How many moves can she see ahead?

Did she even have time to think about all of that?

I told her.

Told her what?

That I like you.

And that I wanted to tell you how I feel,

but I didn't have the courage.

She took them with her for me.

Well,

this is

awkward,

so let's have dinner separately.

As expected, one of her blood vessels in her liver was partially torn,

so that's why there was bleeding.

And the surrounding tissues were severely damaged,

so it was hard to stop the bleeding.

I had to cut out a piece of liver during surgery.

I've checked after the surgery,

and there were no more sources of bleeding in her stomach

But there may be bleeding from another organ.

So we must keep an eye on her for a day or two in the ICU.

You cut out a piece of her liver. Can it grow again?

It's not life-threatening, right?

She's out of the woods for now.

I had to cut out a piece of her liver, but it will grow back over a few months.

I did everything I could.

Now, we must wait and see how fast she can recover from this.

You can see her once she goes to the ICU.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

We won't wake her up. We'll induce sleep for a day or two,

and she'll have the ventilator to help her breathe.

We can wake her up now,

but if we do, she'll be in more pain.

And if she moves around, it won't be good for her.

So it's not that she didn't wake up from the surgery,

but you put her to sleep on purpose, right?

That's right, Mother. He explained that to us earlier.

Right. She might move around because her stomach hurts.

Instead of putting her through the pain because she can't breathe well,

it's better to let her sleep for a day to help her stabilize.

Mom!

My goodness, why are you here?

Doctor, this is Ji-hyeon's aunt.

Hello.

And this is her uncle.

Hello.

Doctor, I heard Ji-hyeon is still unconscious.

If she's still unconscious, isn't that a serious problem?

Well, I can wake her up now.

But if I do that, she'll be in bigger pain--

Doctor, I'll explain it to her.

All right. Bye.

Thank you.

Doctor.

Nothing will happen to Ji-hyeon throughout the night, right?

Please take good care of her.

I will. Nurses will be here.

And I'll be at the hospital tonight. So don't worry.

Thank you. Thank you, Doctor.

NOVEMBER 30, 2019

ELAPSED TIME

You're still here?

I'm about to go home now.

Are you staying here all night?

Yes. I operated on a patient with liver laceration this afternoon.

Sedation seems weak,

so I might have to adjust the ventilator over the night.

Jeong-won, I'm sure your patient will be okay.

She'd better.

-Song-hwa. -Yes?

I only burdened you when you're sick.

I only thought about myself.

I mean, the Daddy-Long-Legs Program.

Don't mind me.

You should just focus on getting better in Sokcho.

I'll take care of it.

Hey! No!

Don't do that. I want to run it.

I can take care of that in Sokcho.

The thought of being on that project

made me all excited.

I'll be doing it. Okay?

Don't take it away from me.

Fine.

Drive safely if you're driving. Take a cab if you can.

Bye.

Aren't you going home?

No. U-ju went to Changwon. So I'm on a break.

I'm going to enjoy this time.

Hey, do we have band practice this week?

No. Jeong-won will be at the hospital this weekend.

Isn't your symposium next week?

Yes.

We'll have to stop for a while.

Okay. Goodnight.

I think Dr. Chu

likes you.

Can't you feel it?

You're so slow-witted.

Dr. Chu confessed her feelings?

Good for you.

I told her very respectfully that I'm not interested.

Well, it's been a while since she told me about her feelings.

Min-ha told me that she was okay

and she just wanted me to know how she felt.

But how can I just ignore that?

We're working together at the hospital.

I hate feeling awkward or uncomfortable while working,

so I met her outside the hospital and talked to her.

I told her to meet a good guy instead of liking me.

I told her that I don't have time or energy

to date anyone right now.

I'm divorced.

And my life is complicated right now.

So instead of dating me, I told her to date someone better.

So we're working together professionally just like before.

It's true.

We're

kind of hip, you know.

-We're cool. -Here's another interpretation.

If you weren't divorced and weren't in a complicated situation,

you would have dated Dr. Chu.

No. I mean it.

I'm really not interested in dating anyone right now.

And I'll probably stay this way.

And obviously, I'm not interested in Dr. Chu, either.

I like being alone.

My life is perfect now.

I have U-ju.

You know? Jeong-won has his siblings and God.

Jun-wan has a girlfriend.

And Song-hwa has her brothers even if they fight a lot.

But who do you have?

I know that you have us.

But if you have your family or loved ones with you,

their mere existence can comfort you.

Don't rob yourself of those chances.

I don't want her to get hurt.

She might get hurt

because of me and my situation.

After seeing how hard it was for Sin-hye,

I promised myself not to forge any relationships in the future.

Don't look at me like that. What is it?

Do I look pathetic?

No. I'm just craving alcohol.

Darn it.

Do you want to get some drinks? It's Saturday tomorrow.

What? Wait, I won't get called in, right?

No, you won't. No one will call you. It's past 2 a.m. now.

-It's past 2 a.m. -My gosh.

You have an on-call doctor.

Let's go.

You're still up?

It's past 2 a.m.

You should get some sleep.

I didn't go to work today.

I slept a lot in the afternoon.

But did you just finish your surgery?

Yes. I'm just about to leave the hospital.

I'm hungry and sleepy.

And I miss you, too.

Don't drive.

You can't even open your eyes because you're exhausted.

I was actually going to take a cab.

I was just about to call a cab.

Ik-sun.

I'm seeing things.

What are you talking about?

I see you.

What? Don't say that.

I'm serious.

A woman in front of me is talking on her phone.

She looks just like you.

That woman is talking on the phone, too?

Yes. And she's crossing the street.

What?

What?

She's coming here.

Hello. I'm your hallucination.

YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

Are you okay? Are you feeling well?

Ji-hyeon, hang in there a bit longer.

Once you get all better, why don't we all go

to an amusement park?

We took her off the ventilator.

Luckily, there were no lung complications.

We can keep an eye on her without getting her intubated.

And her blood result seems good.

We just need to be a bit more patient.

Ji-hyeon, let's start drinking water today. Okay?

-Okay. -Good.

The nurse will help her drink water little by little.

So don't worry too much.

Then, let's keep her in the ICU for one more night and check her progress.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

Ji-hyeon, are you in any pain?

No.

Good girl.

Ji-hyeon, what do you want to eat the most when you get discharged?

-Chocolate. -You want to eat chocolate?

When you get discharged, I'll buy you lots of chocolates.

Promise.

Three years ago, I removed the tumor completely during surgery.

But unfortunately, the tumor relapsed.

But he's not in pain like before.

And all of his follow-up checkups said he was fine.

Astrocytomas are a type of tumor that's likely to come back after surgery.

It's very unfortunate.

Well, you will need

additional surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.

If you want to get the surgery,

I can find out when you can get admitted.

Or you can have some time for yourself before making a decision.

I'll think about it.

What's there to think about?

When can he get the surgery?

Please

let me think about it first.

Doctor, can I make another appointment and come back?

Sure.

Okay.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

He had a hard time when he was undergoing radiation therapy.

He always came with his son and daughter

and they stayed by his side and held his hand.

At his last appointment,

he was happy to hear that he could come only once a year.

He knows how difficult it will be because he's done it before.

He must go through the same process again.

I can understand how devastated he must feel.

But I think he can overcome this.

Excuse me.

From what I know,

the patient is diagnosed with astrocytoma.

Then, three years ago when he got the surgery,

what was his exact pathology?

Well, it was WHO grade-two

diffuse astrocytoma.

This tumor is known to relapse and develop into a higher grade.

I see. Thank you.

"Estoy loco por el."

SPANISH BASICS, EASY SIGN LANGUAGE, FLYING A DRONE

"Estoy loco por el."

When are you leaving?

Me? Three days from today.

What are those books?

I'm going to read them on the plane. I have 14 hours to kill.

You're not going to the airport tomorrow? Ik-sun is leaving.

Did I tell you that she was leaving?

She flies in the afternoon, but I have an operation in the morning.

I'll go if I have time. If not, I can't go.

My parents will be there. She doesn't need her brother there.

-Hey. -What?

Do you want to get drinks tonight?

I have something to tell you.

I'm busy today.

I have surgery later. It will take a while.

Let's meet after your surgery even if it's late.

What is it?

It's a 35-year-old male.

He underwent surgery two times to put a stent in due to CoA.

The last one was three months ago.

He went to Jeongmyeong Hospital due to a high fever.

Based on the test, it seems like his stent was infected.

They asked if they could send him to our hospital for his surgery.

How are his vitals?

His BP is 90 over 60. His heart rate is 120.

And he's already intubated.

Tell them to send him.

He has a hemothorax.

I think his aorta is ruptured, too.

This is bad. I must operate on him now.

Get a circulation chamber and an OR.

-Okay. -What about his family?

They are on their way.

Who's the patient?

He had surgery two times to put a stent in, and it got infected.

I'll remove the infected stent

and do a replacement.

I'm not sure if it will work.

-Good luck. -Good luck.

Does it feel as if something is coming out of your nose?

-No. -I'm glad to hear that.

Is his BP good?

Yes. And his urine volume is back to normal.

At the earliest, you can get discharged tomorrow.

Or two days from today at the latest.

Thank you.

I'll go to the Sokcho branch for my appointment now.

I heard you're transferring there.

How did you know?

It's top-secret.

My gosh. All the patients here know. Everyone heard about it.

Excuse me, Doctor.

I have surgery tomorrow.

I heard I have a test this afternoon,

but I didn't get an explanation about it.

I see. Who's handling his case?

He's Professor Min's patient, and Dr. Heo is his doctor.

I'll relay the message to your doctor.

I heard that you had a tough morning because of the cerebral angiography.

You'll have a Navigation MRI later at 8 p.m.

Through this MRI process, we will see the location

and size of the tumor before surgery.

The resident in charge of your case will come later

and explain to you in detail while getting your consent.

I see. Thank you.

Dr. Heo is assisting Professor Min's surgery now.

She was probably going to explain it to him afterward.

I got it. I won't think she's slacking.

-Bye. -Bye.

Suction. I can't see anything.

His BP is 50.

He's bleeding a lot here. Hang up more blood.

ELAPSED TIME

YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

FASTING

-Hello. -Hi, Professor Lee.

What brings you here? You must be busy.

-Hello. -Please don't get up.

You have an embolization tomorrow, right?

Hello. What time is the procedure?

-It's at 2 p.m. -Then, you must fast for a long time.

Let me know if it's too hard on you. I'll see if we can move it up.

No, Professor Lee.

It's okay. I don't have much of an appetite these days.

I have surgery tomorrow morning, but it won't take long.

So if I have time after the surgery, I'll stop by.

Let me explain the procedure.

When you can't get surgery due to liver failure,

you get this procedure as a treatment instead of surgery.

We can't expect your condition to be cured with this,

but until you get a donor,

let's get you the procedure and be more patient.

Don't worry and get a good night's sleep.

Thank you.

Gosh, I'm sure we'll drink up all the Coke in Korea.

Gosh.

Leave them. I'll help you sort them out. You have a bad neck.

There's not much to sort out. I'll just take a few books I need.

Come.

My gosh, I can't believe we're eating dinner at this hour.

Goodness.

Is Jun-wan working all night?

Probably. He'll end late at night.

ELAPSED TIME

I'm not sure if this will work. It's severely infected.

Forceps.

What about Jeong-won?

He's in the PICU. He lives there, you know.

But you put away risotto for him, right?

-Yes. -Okay.

I did.

Her hemoglobin count didn't go down.

And she's not bleeding right now. She's fine.

We can move her to a general ward tomorrow.

-What a relief. -Gosh.

-That's great news. -Once we move her down,

she'll take a CT scan on the seventh day after the surgery.

And we'll observe for one or two more days.

And if everything checks out, Ji-hyeon can go home.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-Thank you. -That's great.

Bye.

Doctor.

When do you sleep?

I've been here for four days.

You're here every morning and every night.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thanks to you,

Ji-hyeon lived.

No, I'm grateful that Ji-hyeon recovered.

Bye.

He's a great doctor.

-That's great. -Yes.

I bet your patient got better.

Yes.

How can you guys tell so easily?

What?

How do you guys know whether my patient is doing well or not?

How could we not know that?

How do you guys know that?

I took a guess. We just take guesses.

You guys are amazing.

When did you order this risotto?

Did you just order this? At this hour?

It's nice and warm.

I thought you probably skipped dinner. So I put one aside for you.

I microwaved it at the store.

When are you moving to Sokcho? Are you going to take everything?

Thursday. No, not everything.

I'm just going to take some books and a few things I might need.

Does the apartment overlook an ocean?

Can I visit you often? My gosh, that's my dream.

Sure. You'll probably like it.

Ik-jun is leaving on Thursday, too.

Isn't he leaving for his symposium?

Yes.

By the way,

Jeong-won.

Yes? What is it?

Nothing.

ELAPSED TIME

I've been pressing for an hour, but it keeps bleeding.

Surgery won't cut it anymore.

I have no choice. Let's pack it up with gauze and stop.

Gauze, please.

I removed the infected stent

and switched it with an artificial artery.

But the bleeding is too severe, so we blocked it with gauze.

We tried our best to stop the bleeding in the OR,

but the blood wouldn't coagulate, so he lost a lot of blood.

We're inducing antihemorrhagic agents in the ICU now,

but we may not be able to stop the bleeding.

Let's observe for the time being.

Monitor him while giving him RBC and FFP.

And call me right away if he keeps bleeding.

Okay.

YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

Thank you.

Ms. Choi Ji-eun.

-Ms. Choi Ji-eun. -Yes.

-Come on in. -Okay.

I waited so long for my appointment.

It's been more than an hour.

I'm sorry. There were a lot of expecting mothers today.

I have to wait so long every time I come here.

I'll see you next week.

Hello.

-It's been a month. -Yes. Hello.

Doctor, I have never seen this many patients in my life.

I had to wait really long for my appointment. I always have to wait.

I'm sorry. I see outpatients only three days a week.

I took a look at the test you took for gestational diabetes.

By the way, we have about the same number of patients.

But compared to last week, we have fewer outpatients today.

Dr. Chu.

Can you get me the ultrasound scan she took last time?

Sure.

What is it? What happened?

We were preparing for a DDLT, but the recipient arrested during hepatectomy.

So cardiothoracic surgeons are putting the patient on ECMO.

Professor Kwon Sun-jeong said the transplant is impossible

so he wanted me to call the KONOS.

You must find a recipient quickly.

Did the organ arrive at our hospital?

Yes.

This is Ham Deok-ju, the transplant coordinator at Yulje.

The recipient had a heart attack.

So the professor said the transplant can't happen.

You must select another recipient.

Okay.

Okay. Call me right away.

They will call the first patient on the list and call us back.

But I'm not sure if this will work. We lost a lot of time already.

How long has it been since you extracted it?

It's been over eight hours.

Jae-hak, his parents are outside, right?

Yes.

I must update them.

We've been giving him antihemorrhagic agents in the ICU,

hoping that it would coagulate his blood.

After observing for five hours,

he's still bleeding.

Even if we go back to the OR now,

there's not much we can do except for changing the gauze we packed.

I don't see any other way.

I am sorry.

Doctor.

Can I go see my son just once?

I want to see him

one last time.

Please let me do that.

It's a 48-year-old female patient with SAH.

She's in a coma, and her pupils are dilated.

She can't breathe on her own. No motor function.

She's in a coma. There's no point operating on her.

Induce her with dopamine if her BP goes down.

Okay.

Okay.

The first patient on their list is far away from Seoul,

so it's impossible due to the time restriction.

And the doctor of the next patient in line gave up.

The ischemia time was prolonged.

It will take too long to find another recipient.

They want us to find a patient in our hospital and call them back.

Then, they'll approve it.

Hello, this is the transplant coordinator from Yulje Medical Center.

Is this Ms. Um Ji-seon?

YANG SEOK-HYEONG

Ms. Jang Seul-gi.

-Is Ms. Jang Seul-gi here? -Right here.

You're next. Please wait in front of the office.

But why is the previous patient taking too long?

-A lot of people are waiting. -I'm sorry.

Appointments may run long when there's a lot to explain.

Please wait a little longer.

It's been hours since I took my ultrasound. Why am I still waiting?

Aren't you Ms. Han Seung-hui?

There are five more patients before you. Please wait a little longer.

How much longer must I wait?

What's the point of making appointments?

I'm sorry.

At our hospital, two patients can be booked for every ten minutes.

And that's the only way we can accept appointments due to the system.

As you know, Professor Yang has a lot of patients.

I am sorry for making you wait every time.

I hope you can understand.

Okay.

No fever, right?

Let me know once you get the X-ray scan.

What's the blood type of the donor?

He's a type-A.

Kim Yeong-je, the second patient on the list, is in Geochang.

Even if we get ready while he gets here, the liver won't be viable.

What about Moon Jeong-hwa?

She said she'd wait a bit longer.

She's been feeling well, so she doesn't want it for now.

Yoo Dong-jin doesn't have the same blood type.

Well...

Type-A.

We have one more type-A patient at the hospital.

Lee Chang-hak?

Yes. His blood type is A.

My son.

He used to be so tiny like this.

When did you grow up so much, son?

Jung-min.

This is yours.

Your dad and I

love you so much,

so we kept this all this time.

But now, you should keep it.

My son.

I am not

ready yet.

So

don't leave us here.

Jung-min.

Jung-min.

Your dad and I

love you so much, our dear son.

Don't leave us. Promise me.

Have you been well?

-It's been two weeks. -Yes, doctor.

Is the baby active?

It's been about two days since the baby has been quiet.

Perhaps, I didn't feel any movements because I was sleeping.

My baby is okay, right?

I read online that that happens in the last month of pregnancy.

Shall we check if your baby is doing okay?

Well, Professor Kim.

Why don't we try again from the front?

We can use an artificial artery to bypass the ascending and descending aorta.

And if we ligate the operated area from top to bottom,

wouldn't it be isolated?

How are his vitals?

His BP is stable with 0.05mg of epidural and 0.1mg of norepinephrine.

Can he urinate?

He can urinate with 5mg of Lasix.

Every hour, it goes over 100.

Let's try it. Ask them to open the OR.

Okay.

Well,

I checked multiple times.

But I didn't detect any heart movement.

Are you saying

my baby is dead?

Yes.

It looks like the heart stopped beating in your womb.

I don't know what caused it for now.

I will be able to find the cause after we take the baby out.

Doctor.

No...

Doctor! No.

Doctor...

My baby...

We'll now administer the anesthesia.

Relax and breathe.

Don't be nervous.

Yes, good.

As for the ischemia time, what are we at?

About ten hours. The biopsy results look good. The liver should be fine.

Let's do this quickly. Scalpel, please.

WE ARE SORRY FOR THE DELAY

I'm sorry, Doctor.

Here.

It's okay. Don't worry about us.

Take your time to calm down. You can stay here for a bit.

We're okay.

I'm sorry, Doctor...

-Shall I tell the patients outside... -Doctor...

...that our system is down or something?

No, there's no need. It's okay.

She's taking forever.

Excuse me.

Don't say anything.

NAME: BAEK SEON-JEONG AGE: 48

Unfortunately, the situation is pretty bad.

She has a brain hemorrhage accompanied by severe swelling.

It's got to the point that the contrast agent doesn't even work.

At the moment, she's unconscious and can't breathe on her own.

So we believe she's brain-dead.

It's highly likely that she'll pass away within a week or two.

No way...

Mom...

Mom!

-Honey... -Mom!

-Mom! -Honey.

Chi-hong.

I was so surprised when I saw her name.

Why?

She has the exact same name as the patient who passed away

when I was a fourth-year resident.

You remember all your patients' names?

Well...

From the day she was brought in to the ER

to the moment she passed away in the ICU after her surgery,

I stayed by her side.

I thought she'd make it.

That's why I did nothing else and just stayed by her side for over a week

while getting an earful from my professor,

but she passed away.

She also had SAH.

I beat myself up so much after she passed away.

Maybe it's my fault that she passed away.

"Had I been smarter,

she probably could've lived." I kept thinking that.

She was so beautiful.

I still remember what she looked like as well as her name.

I remember everything vividly.

Her name was also Baek Seon-jeong.

It was you.

I had no idea.

Professor Chae...

Yun-bok.

What's wrong?

What's the matter?

What is it?

I miss my mom.

Professor Chae.

I miss my mom so much.

My gosh.

You grew up into such a wonderful young lady.

Your mom

must be so proud of you, watching over you from heaven.

Why are you crying? She'll be heartbroken if she sees this.

Don't cry.

Okay.

My gosh.

It's okay.

Mr. Kim Hyeon-su?

Doctor!

I was waiting for you.

-Me? -Yes.

I asked the front desk for your number, but they said they can't give it out.

So I thought I should just wait here until you showed up.

This year must be my lucky year.

Well, it seems so.

By the way, you look great.

You don't look like someone who underwent brain surgery three months ago.

Thank you.

Well, Doctor Ahn.

This is for you.

I know that doctors can't accept gifts,

but still...

Please accept it.

My gosh...

Gosh, this is...

It's not expensive. It costs under 20,000 won.

My gosh.

Next week,

I'll be returning to the police.

My gosh, congratulations.

It's a desk job, and I'll be working short shifts for the time being.

But still...

I thought I'd never return to the force.

But thanks to you, I can go back to work.

I hope this pen can be

one of the many pens you always keep in your pocket.

And I hope this pen can cheer you up

when things get stressful.

There are people who gained new life thanks to you,

so don't be discouraged and cheer up.

You must be busy. I'll get going, then.

I'll see you at my next appointment.

All right. See you at your next appointment.

Doctor, how did the surgery go? Did it go well?

Yes, the surgery went well.

He didn't even bleed much during the surgery.

We'll have to do a blood test when he wakes up to be sure,

but the surgery itself went as well as it could,

so I don't think you should be worried.

We've overcome a huge hurdle.

Thank you so much, Doctor.

I really think this is a miracle.

I'll be grateful to the donor for the rest of my life.

Thank you very much.

Your dad's surgery went very well.

So my dad isn't ill anymore?

He still is. Just a little bit though.

But he'll recover soon.

Don't worry.

Thank you. I'm grateful.

I am a lot more

grateful.

Doctor.

I will take the test.

And when you get the test result,

please tell them that I wasn't a match.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Dong-ju.

GIVE YOUR MOM A BIG HUG!

I'm okay.

Don't cry.

What?

You have something to tell me, right?

Is something bothering you?

No.

I agree.

I agree with what you're thinking now.

You can read minds, can't you?

People call me psychic, you know.

I think there are three types of people in this world.

First, those who are happiest when they're eating something good.

Ik-jun and Jun-wan are the perfect examples.

It's mine. It's my ramyeon.

This is my first meal of the day. Go get a new one.

-Jeez! -You go get a new one. I'm exhausted.

Me too! Do I look like I'm brimming with energy?

-Cut it out, you crazy prick. -Come on, dude.

-Give it back. -I'm not done.

Get a new one!

No! I want to eat this!

Then there are those who enjoy food the most when they're eating alone.

I bet Seok-hyeong is eating ramyeon all by himself now while watching

New Journey to the West.

Who is it?

Professor Yang, even this resident working the night shift

at the medical office heard that you're eating ramyeon,

so I came to eat with you.

I can join you, right?

Sure.

Great.

All right.

Then... All right, be careful.

Perfect.

And the fish cake bars.

Nice. This is perfect.

-Can I dig in? -Yes, of course. Enjoy.

Lastly, there's you.

Seeing others enjoy good food makes you happier than

when you are eating it yourself.

I'm not like that.

You are like that.

DECEMBER 3, 2019 10:22 P.M.

It's already past ten o'clock.

Ik-sun must be on the plane now. I didn't even have a chance to call her.

Jeez, what was that about?

What's with him?

The number you have called is unavailable.

I'm really okay, so don't worry about it if you're busy.

I just left home. I'll text you when I'm at the airport.

I'm at the airport. It's not busy, so I should be able to check-in quickly.

Both my mom and dad are crying. I'm crying too.

The check-in is done. I'm inside now.

I want to hear your voice.

I guess you have emergency surgery.

I have so much time until my boarding time.

Take a breather after the surgery and call me.

Boarding will close in five minutes.

I wanted to hear your voice. I'm sad.

I'm on the plane now. I have to turn my phone off.

I hope everything is okay.

It's okay if you're in surgery,

but I'm worried you can't check your phone because something bad happened.

Bye, for real.

I'll call you when I arrive.

I love you, babe.

No one's here.

Leave me alone.

Professor Kim.

The patient's tube drainage has been under 100 per hour,

and the bleeding seems to have stopped as well.

The vitals have also stabilized.

I thought I'd come and tell you this happy news in person.

I'll be off, then.

Jae-hak.

Let's go get some fresh air. My head hurts so much.

I took the CSAT four times and the bar exam six times.

That's ten years in total.

That's why I know for a fact that I can study very hard.

I'm a wimp, so I'm not confident when it comes to exams and the actual work.

But I was always good at studying and memorizing things all day long.

That's why I thought I'd have a successful career as a doctor

because you need to study a lot.

I thought I should be able

to live a decent life if I became a doctor,

so I studied very hard and became one.

But then, my gosh. I learned that having good judgment is more important than

your ability to study well.

Every day... No, you have to make a choice every moment.

I mean, that's what surgery is all about.

If a patient's condition worsens, should he or she

be hooked up to the ECMO or transferred to the OR?

I struggle every time I have to make such decisions.

Professor Kim, you see...

Indecisiveness is my biggest weakness.

I have a lot of knowledge,

but I don't know when and how it should be used.

What do I do, Professor Kim?

My patients could live or die depending on what I decide to do.

What if I make the wrong decision?

I'll encounter hundreds of thousands of moments when I must make a decision.

Gosh, I don't know if I can do it.

What should I do

every time that happens?

Ask me.

When you're feeling overwhelmed because you must make a lot of decisions,

you can ask me how to handle a few important cases.

I'll do my best to help you out if I'm not too busy.

Jae-hak.

I want to give this to my girlfriend,

but she doesn't like things like this.

Christmas is just around the corner,

so I want to send it to her as a Christmas gift.

Will it be okay to send this to her?

Am I putting too much pressure on her?

Ask her.

Ask your girlfriend.

You two love each other, right?

Is it one-sided?

Then ask her.

She'll give you the answer.

I have to say,

you're clueless when it comes to dating.

Gosh, you frustrate me so much.

There.

The arm, please.

Good. This arm.

Look at me.

U-ju, be a good boy and be good to Auntie.

Wait for just ten days even if you miss Daddy, okay?

Ten days? How many days is that?

Ten days... It's more than nine days

but less than 11 days.

U-ju, Daddy will be back when you finish counting

with all ten fingers.

My gosh, you're such a pro.

Professor Lee, I hope you don't have to work all the time when you're there.

You should catch up on sleep

and go shopping while you're there.

Of course. I should be able to take two to three days off.

Yes, come here.

There we go.

U-ju, tell me the acrostic poem for Daddy.

You learned it at the daycare yesterday. Go!

Daddy.

-Next? -Bye-bye.

Don't you think U-ju should join Mensa?

He's as talented as Shakespeare.

That's exactly what I was thinking yesterday.

-U-ju, come up with one for Auntie. -Sure.

-Go! -Auntie.

-Next! -Bye-bye.

The daycare bus is probably here now.

Say bye to Daddy.

Have a good trip, Daddy.

Yes, sir.

What?

Father, bring me a ton of cookies and chocolates.

Yes, sir. I will. No problem.

Oh, boy. That nearly killed me. All right.

Bye, Daddy!

It still tickles.

You have to wear it at all times, okay?

You too. You double-checked the address, right?

What if it gets misdelivered?

The address is quite complicated, so the mailmen often make mistakes.

I triple-checked it, so I'm sure it won't be misdelivered.

You should go to bed. It's after midnight there.

All right.

Bye, babe. I love you.

I love you too.

Hello.

Hi, Yun-bok.

Hello.

Hi, Yun-bok.

What brings you by?

There's something I forgot to show Dr. Ahn when I was doing the handover.

Chi-hong is moving today.

Oh, right.

I bought him a gift for that and forgot all about it.

What are you doing tonight?

-Me? -Yes.

You are not on-call tonight.

I don't really have any plans.

Then how about dinner together?

Hey, yes.

Hong-do.

What? You're feeling sick?

You feel like you're dying?

Yes, okay.

Message me when you're off work.

I'll meet you in the lobby.

Well, sure.

Hey.

Seriously, what brings you all the way here?

Shouldn't you have left by now?

Gosh, it's so nice here.

I came here because I'd like your advice on something.

I still have about five hours.

Listen up, okay?

I have a friend

whom I've known for a long time.

But I started to like her.

If I tell her how I feel, things might get a little awkward.

But if I chicken out again

and not tell her,

I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

What should I do?

Take your time. You can answer when I'm back.

Bye.

CHIEF

Congratulations on your new home and becoming a chief resident.

Dr. Ahn Chi-hong, you're already doing a great job.

I'll always be rooting for you.

First, try not to get too nervous during surgery.

What you need now is a heart of steel.

Second, focus on bleeding control when performing brain tumor surgery.

That will decide whether the surgery will be a success.

Third, make use of impactful diagrams and videos

when you're preparing for your presentation.

And practice is a must.

From Song-hwa.

Do you

like me?

I like you. Yes.

I was going to tell you,

but I couldn't find the right time.

-I'm sorry. -Hey.

Don't.

Hey. Stop talking. What's wrong with you?

Well, it's not something I have control over.

I can't just stop because you told me to.

I'll get going.

Bye.

PROFESSOR CHAE SONG-HWA

They are cute.

I used to be young like them.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, we have our precious med students.

Let's listen to why they applied to med school.

What's wrong with him? Just let them go.

Right? You don't like that either.

-Pardon? -I'm sorry.

I won't talk to you.

Both of my parents are doctors, so I didn't have much choice--

Hey, Seon-bin. We're not interested in your story.

You have to work tomorrow?

I feel bad for you.

Since when did we get Christmas off?

Hey, tomorrow is Christmas. Don't you have to spend time with your bidulgi?

She's away at the moment. And I also have to go into work briefly.

-Hey, did you get me a gift? -No.

Seok-hyeong, what did you decide to do?

Have you made your decision?

What?

A decision about what?

You too. We'll talk about that later.

Seok-hyeong, tell us.

Is something else going on with his family?

His dad wrote in his will that he'd like Seok-hyeong to inherit the company.

-What? -What?

Hey, then are you going to quit being a doctor?

Just tell us. Tell us already, you silly bear.

Let go, and I'll tell you.

Why would I run the company?

I already told everyone that I'm not interested.

We'll find a management specialist to run the company.

You made the right choice.

-Of course. -Why would you do that?

Well, I think it'd be nice to have the opportunity

to run a company before you get too old.

I think it's a bad idea.

What's so bad about it? When else will he be called "Mr. Chairman"?

Do it.

Just come back if it doesn't work out.

I don't want to waste time.

My time is too precious for that.

I want to live doing the things I like

and the things

that I want to do right now.

That's why I wanted to start a band.

I...

used you guys.

As if.

-What's he saying? -That nutjob.

What is wrong with him today?

-What are you saying? -That's absurd.

-What's with him? -You silly bear.

-What's wrong with him? -My gosh.

He actually looks like the statue of Agrippa

instead of a silly bear.

-Hey, stop it. -I see a lot of shadows.

-Hey. -What's that under his eyes?

-The gradation... -Let me see.

-Cut it out. -Come on. Let's see!

Hey, why are you drinking that?

Because I'm singing a line today.

Like a sunset

I want to be a beautiful memory to you

I hope you can always remember Our radiant days

Like a beautiful painting Without any regrets

To me, you were the sunlight

That warmed my lonely heart

Like the dazzling jewel On your small, fair hand

Our promise will be eternal

-Like a sunset -Like a sunset

-I want to be a beautiful memory to you -I want to be a beautiful memory to you

-I hope you can always remember -I hope you can always remember

-Our radiant days -Our radiant days

-Like a beautiful painting -Like a beautiful painting

-Without any regrets -Without any regrets

DECEMBER 24, 2019 11:20 A.M.

Oh, hello.

Ji-hyeon, say hello.

Say, "Hello, Doctor. Thank you for saving my life."

Thank you.

Doctor!

My gosh.

Ji-hyeon, is your stomach okay now? It doesn't hurt anymore?

No, it doesn't hurt at all now.

Gosh, you're so adorable.

What brings you by? You don't have an appointment today.

It's Christmas Eve, you know.

You're the person we wanted to see the most on Christmas Eve.

Oh, my.

Merry Christmas.

It's healed nicely.

If you have a fever or experience other types of discomfort,

come to the ER anytime.

Then we'll see you at your next appointment in two weeks.

-We'll remove the stitches then. -Okay.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Thank you.

-Son. -Yes?

What's the first thing you want to do when you leave the hospital?

I'll do anything for you.

I mean, you nearly died.

I'd happily do anything for my dear son.

I want kimchi stew.

I want to eat your kimchi stew, Mom.

Gosh, that's it?

Yes, I just want to go home and eat a home-cooked meal.

That's what I want to do the most, Mom.

Me too.

You can be discharged tomorrow.

Really?

Hello, Doctor.

Well, there's nothing more we can do for you here.

Vacate the room, please.

Thank you.

I owe it all to you, Doctor.

Don't mention it.

-Dong-ju. -Dong-ju.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, one more thing.

Merry Christmas.

-Thank you. -No problem.

Question.

Common indications for liver transplantation?

Chronic liver failure, acute liver failure,

hepatocellular carcinoma, and so on.

Bingo. Have you been studying?

Yes, I had a feeling that you'd test me today.

Well done. Doctors have to study a lot.

You can't save patients by being friendly to them.

-Right. -I'll quiz you every time I see you.

Two questions if you get it wrong.

It's good news.

Why are you crying?

I feel so bad for my wife.

She's been so stressed out,

but there was nothing I could do for her.

Doctor, do you mind saying that one more time?

You no longer need to worry about premature birth.

The baby now weighs over 1.5kg, which means it's growing well.

Everything seems stable so far,

so it's most likely that you'll be fine until you're due.

You no longer need to be lying down all the time.

Like other expecting moms, you can now return to non-strenuous daily activities.

Thank you.

You held out

really well.

To me, you will always be remembered

As a lush yet sad song in my little heart

I want to be the countless stars

In your beautiful, sparkling eyes And shine forever

-Like a sunset -Like a sunset

-I want to be a beautiful memory to you -I want to be a beautiful memory to you

-I hope you can always remember -I hope you can always remember

-Our radiant days -Our radiant days

-Like a beautiful painting -Like a beautiful painting

-Without any regrets -Without any regrets

-Like a sunset -Like a sunset

-I want to be a beautiful memory to you -I want to be a beautiful memory to you

-I hope you can always remember -I hope you can always remember

-Our radiant days -Our radiant days

YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

DECEMBER 25, 2019 06:30 P.M.

Where's the nail clipper?

-What's up? -A package came for you.

-A package? I'm not expecting anything. -Well...

It's actually a returned package.

Who is it?

It's me, Gyeo-ul.

Come in.

What is it?

Professor Ahn.

I...

Professor Ahn... I...

I like you.

I'm sorry.

Why am I crying?

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I know it's not my place to say this,

but can you please stay at the hospital

instead of becoming a priest?

Please stay by my side

instead of God's.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Professor Ahn.

Gyeo-ul.

Since

when did you like Jeong-won?

Isn't that obvious?

Is it...

Like love at first...

The moment I first saw him.

I fell for him

the moment I first saw him.

Have some bread and milk.

Thank you.

Dr. Jang.

Did you hear about the new professor who's starting today?

Yes, I heard he was at Kangwoon Medical Center.

A professor of Pediatric Surgery.

That's right. Pediatric surgeons are so rare.

I heard he can perform operations all by himself

and handle appointments on his own.

So don't even worry about Pediatrics

-and assist me-- -Guys, say hello.

Today is his first day.

Professor Ahn Jeong-won of Pediatric Surgery.

Hello.

This is Dr. Jang Gyeo-ul, the only resident in GS.

I see.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Ahn Jeong-won.

Hello, I'm Jang Gyeo-ul.

Hello, I'm Ahn Jeong-won.

Nice to meet you. I'm Hwang Bae-jin.

Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you. I'm Ahn Jeong-won. -I'm Lee Ji-hun. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you. -You're very handsome.

My gosh, I'm flattered.

Right. Gyeo-ul is in the ER now.

My gosh, why?

It's gotten better after she got the shot.

I think she had anaphylaxis from NSAIDs.

SUDDEN REACTION TO THE BODY

Her face swelled 30 minutes after taking the pill for cramps.

Then, she couldn't breathe.

She passed out like a scene in the movie.

Oh, no. Please excuse me.

She's much better now.

She's probably asleep.

Hey, "City Hall Subway Station" is fine for tomorrow, right?

Yes, I love all the songs by Zoo.

I should practice tonight.

Can you guys clean up mine? I have to go.

Hello, Professor Ahn.

You must be here for Dr. Jang Gyeo-ul.

She's much better now.

Let's go in.

No, it's okay. I got a call, so I have to go.

I see.

Wait.

Take good care

of Dr. Jang Gyeo-ul.

Of course.

Seeing others enjoy good food makes you happier than

when you are eating it yourself.

I'm not like that.

You are like that.

You made the right decision.

Stay here and save more lives.

Don't tell the other guys for the time being.

There's someone I want to tell first.

Winter is here.

The winter we've been waiting for.

Professor Yang, it's me, Min-ha.

Do you have any plans for this evening?

If not, let's have dinner together at the steakhouse across the street.

At 7:30 p.m.

No pressure though. You don't have to come.

My friend lives in the area, so I can eat with her if you can't come.

But I really hope you can come.

SORRY, JUST HAVE DINNER WITH YOUR FRIENDS, MERRY CHRISTMAS

SORRY, JUST HAVE DINNER WITH YOUR FRIENDS

YOON SIN-HYE
