DOCTOR CHA

Something's wrong,

isn't it?

Yes.

Something's wrong

but I can't even believe it

because it feels too unreal.

I think I know what it is.

No.

You really don't know.

I think I know what it is!

You want to kill those two bastards.

Professor Seo is cheating on you!

It's raining!

Hurry up and close it.

My goodness!

-Why isn't it working? -Hurry up!

I'm trying!

You can't even close the roof of your own car?

I opened it for the first time today!

What do we do?

It's cold!

My goodness!

This isn't the time to be laughing!

It's cold!

Come on, stop laughing!

How badly did you two fight to end up like this?

How will you even draw in this state? Your entrance exams are around the corner!

-What? -You said you're done letting off steam!

You should've just ignored her, not fought her!

Are you saying I should've held back when she grabbed my hair?

What?

Why should I move academies?

She keeps telling me to move!

That brat is treating me like I'm some home-wrecker too!

I'm leaving for the day.

-Goodbye. -Great work today.

Goodbye.

I-rang.

EPISODE 11

Honestly.

Thankfully, I don't think it'll scar.

Are you hurt anywhere else?

What on earth happened?

Are you getting bullied in school or something?

You and your friends will be adults soon. They should know better.

Why would they do this to you?

Who did this to you?

-Auntie Mi-hee. -Yes.

I feel so bad for my mom.

Your mom?

MI-HEE: I-RANG CAME TO VISIT MY CLINIC…

MI-HEE: I-RANG CAME TO VISIT MY CLINIC

I'M GOING TO TAKE HER HOME, SO DON'T WORRY

Who is it?

There's non-alcoholic beer too.

On my grandma's birthday,

my family got together for dinner.

It was at a hotel.

And I coincidentally saw Professor Seo there.

I saw who the other woman was too.

When I was in middle school,

my father did the same thing.

My mother had depression after that happened.

She suffered for more than ten years.

So I kind of know how you feel.

Something like this can be so destructive…

that it can ruin someone.

How was it for you?

Did you wish that

your mother and father would get divorced?

At the time,

I thought Mom's hatred toward Dad was what kept her going.

If they got divorced,

I thought my mom would lose the only thing that gave her the will to live.

So I told my dad…

that if he divorced my mom,

I would throw myself from the roof.

I threatened him.

I know you keep to yourself.

So thank you for trying

to comfort me.

I'm not trying to comfort you.

It's just…

these things happen.

More often than we think.

Try to get some sleep.

Thank you for the drive today.

Sure.

Actually…

I have something to confess.

The two of you.

Jung-min.

I know that you're dating

my son.

From the looks of it,

you two suit each other.

COLON AND RECTAL SURGERY SPECIALIST SEO IN-HO

OUT OF OFFICE

-Please check the consultation request. -Okay.

Do you think you can work today?

I have to.

Working is the only thing I can do right now.

-You see this, right? -Yes.

This part seems to be causing the issue.

-You said she draws right? -Yes.

Even when she gets out of the cast, her arm's range of motion can be limited.

And her wrist might not move the way she wants.

It'll take around three to six months

for the nerves to recover.

How would you know that when you raised your kids in comfort?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Seung-hi working at our hospital.

But I already explained why I didn't tell you.

And I also just learned that I-rang and Seung-hi's daughter are friends.

Could you tell me where you bought that bracelet?

My husband bought it for me, so I don't know where he got it.

-Where is Choi Seung-hi right now? -Sorry?

She'll be in the seminar room. All the professors today…

Didn't she just address her by name only?

I think she said, "Where's Choi Seung-hi?"

Come on, no way.

Any updates on the academic research fund that we applied for?

We plan to apply for a collaborative multidisciplinary team study.

So we are preparing a joint research plan

with the infectious diseases and pulmonology departments.

We'll need to schedule regular meetings.

Sure. Meetings are one thing.

But please share the progress via email…

Yes, what is it?

Professor Choi.

I need a word with you.

If it's not urgent, let's talk later. I'm in the middle of--

It's urgent.

Or shall we talk here?

-What is it? -Let's go to your office.

Tell him to come.

Seo In-ho.

Did you not hear me?

Tell Seo In-ho

to come here.

Right this instant.

Call him.

Hey.

I just finished an outpatient appointment. I have some time.

To your office?

Don't ask and just come. You'll know when you get here.

Come here right now.

Unless you want

the whole hospital to be talking about your affair with Choi Seung-hi.

PROFESSOR'S OFFICE

FAMILY MEDICINE SPECIALIST CHOI SEUNG-HI IN OFFICE

OUT OF OFFICE

-Honey. -Shut up.

Confirm something for me.

I-rang's friend, Eun-seo.

Is your daughter

Seo In-ho's daughter?

Honey, the thing is…

That's right. She is In-ho's daughter.

We met coincidentally at a hospital in Chicago

where In-ho and I trained.

Eun-seo was conceived then and I gave birth to her.

But I didn't keep seeing her.

Three years ago, when Seung-hi came back to Korea and came to this hospital,

we got close again…

Did you have no one to share your love story with?

You two are taking turns talking

as if you're so eager to get the next word in.

Sure, so the two of you

are in love?

I hope it lasts forever.

It's not that. The truth is…

-We already decided to break up… -Who said we would?

I don't plan on breaking up.

Whether you two break up

or live together for years on end

has nothing to do with me anymore.

I restarted my residency after 20 years, and I'm going to complete it.

As for you two,

don't disgrace me or my son.

And Choi Seung-hi.

Quit this hospital.

You have other hospitals you can go to.

Don't you come from a rich family?

I know that the two of you have been doing all you can

to get me to quit.

Those cheap tricks won't work anymore, so you quit.

You have a month.

Quit within a month

and get out of my sight.

And you, Seo In-ho!

You lie low and wait.

I'm still thinking about what I should do with you.

When you said we should take some time to think,

I thought you meant we should break up.

I guess that's what you wanted to hear.

I guess you were so desperate for me to give up on you.

It's not that.

Then going forward…

Do we really need to break up?

I think you'll be a free man at last.

-A free man? -Don't you think she'll divorce you soon?

This…

How much does I-rang know?

Tell me the truth!

She knows everything.

What about Jung-min?

-He knows. -What?

Mother knows too.

Look what you've done.

And you dared to act all high and mighty in front of me

after everything you've done?

My children are so pitiful to have you as their father, you bastard!

Be quiet.

Why did you make a fool out of me when the whole family already knew?

Why was I the only one who didn't know?

The kids didn't want you to know!

They didn't want you to be in shock when you haven't fully recovered yet.

Live the rest of your life…

atoning to the kids.

You horrible bastard!

How could you do this?

How could you do this to our kids?

Dr. Kim, hello.

-You went to see your baby again? -Yes.

It's a relief that both of you are safe.

I was really shocked when I heard you had to give birth right away

due to amniorrhexis.

My baby was the one who pulled through.

She's recovering well like her nickname "Little Miss Strong."

How admirable.

I heard you're being discharged.

Yes.

And my baby is going to be discharged in about two weeks.

Are you really just going to leave without getting treated?

Yes.

I'll go home, and my mom will take care of me.

Once the baby comes home,

I'll feed it formula, put it to sleep, and bathe it.

That's what I want to do.

I won't be able to do that once I start treatment.

There's no hope anyway.

Be good to your mom. Becoming a mom is hard.

I just visited the baby.

She's gotten chubbier since yesterday.

When I called out her nickname,

she looked at me as if she recognized--

I don't want to hear it. Stop.

No one is happy to see your baby.

Mom.

Stop hating my baby.

If I'm gone, all she will have is you and Dad.

You and Dad will have to raise the baby.

You raise the baby.

You're responsible for your child, not me!

You should be the one to do everything from her 100th-day celebration party

and her first birthday, to taking her to her first day of school!

If you don't, I don't want to see that kid.

Okay.

I'll do all of that, okay?

Yes, is this Seocho Police Station?

I want to find the family I was separated from as a child.

How do I register my DNA?

Are you free after work?

That's new.

You've never once asked me if I have time or if I want to meet first.

I'm the one who clings to you, appeases you, and gets upset.

Even when I do that, you meet me once every five times.

This doesn't seem like a normal relationship.

Sure.

If that's what you think, it must be true.

Being stubborn is in your nature. Why are you agreeing with me on this?

Shouldn't you be lecturing me about how relationships can differ?

What's the point when things are ending?

But we should at least end things properly.

We'll still be seeing each other.

I have something to tell you too.

Let's meet after work.

D&J ART ACADEMY

-Seo I-rang. -Mom!

Were you waiting long?

I didn't wait that long.

You were working so hard.

-You saw? -Of course!

Let's eat something good.

-Great! -Great!

Do you have something to say?

I…

-found out. -About what?

About Dad.

And about your friend Eun-seo too.

It must've been so painful.

You couldn't even tell me.

It felt strange.

To find I have a sibling other than Jung-min.

There is someone else in this world who calls my dad "Dad."

And that person is Eun-seo.

I'm sorry

for making you worry about something other kids don't have to go through.

Did you tell Jung-min?

That you know everything?

He is an adult, so I'm not worried about him.

I'm grown up too, so don't worry about me.

And do what you want.

Whatever that may be, I don't care.

No, I'm okay with it.

I feel so reassured

to have you guys.

You should hurry up and eat.

I'll end up eating everything.

I'll eat.

Okay, is the tteokbokki good?

It's good.

Eun-seo, what's wrong?

How will I take the early admissions exam with this arm?

There are regular admissions.

You won't be wearing the cast then.

You really know nothing.

For regular admissions,

you can only apply to either Hanguk University or Hongin University.

Then just apply to one.

I never pressured you about college.

Seo I-rang can apply to both universities, unlike me!

I can't even compete in early admissions, and I can only apply to one school.

Eun-seo.

I'd rather die than go to a less prestigious school than her!

I'll lose some of my touch after being in a cast for two months.

What do I do?

It's okay.

You won't lose your touch.

You're…

going to do well.

Why do I have to get things taken away?

From Dad to opportunities.

Why is it always me?

Is there really a need to meet like this to break up?

I have something to say.

Say it.

I found out that Professor Seo is having an affair.

And I learned that Dr. Cha found out

about his affair.

It's embarrassing to have found out all these fine details about your family,

but I thought I should let you know.

I thought you should know if you didn't already.

Did you not know?

I knew about my father's affair.

But I didn't know that my mom knew.

-It must be hard for you. -It's something I have to handle.

Are you done?

I'll go now.

Seo In-ho, that bastard.

He doesn't look like it,

but it seems like he has incredibly strong instincts to reproduce.

If not, how can he maintain two families and have a secret love child

in this day and age?

Sure.

Tell the whole world about my husband maintaining two families.

What? Do you want me to give you a loudspeaker?

What on earth do people see in him?

What gives him the right to be loved by two great women?

Is Seo In-ho good in bed?

Jeez, honestly.

What? I need to know that to explain this fiasco!

Hey!

Do you think I'd remember? We slept in separate rooms for ten years.

Right, you're Candy.

So what are you going to do now?

What can I really do?

We'll fight and pester each other,

and in the end, we'll get divorced.

And who would benefit from that?

So?

What will you do now?

Are you going to live with Jeong-suk?

Or will you divorce her and go to that woman?

Not in front of the kids.

We should be aware of your decision too.

So are you going to marry that woman?

Hey, don't say such nonsense.

You're really the worst.

It's better to give up on one side and devote yourself to the other.

This is the worst thing to do to Mom and that woman.

Unlike what you think, it's not an easy decision.

You can't speak so recklessly about grown-ups' matters.

So are you going to get divorced?

What are you going to do?

I…

don't want to get divorced.

Try to walk.

This is the first time I walked out of a bar on my own

because I was embarrassed.

How did you never grow up?

You're the same as you were in college.

Fine, you're the mature one. You're the true adult here. Happy?

I am!

-I'm tired. -Sit.

Jeez, why did you drink so much?

Jeong-suk.

I'm surrounded by foolish men like that.

You would think their wives would not be great, right?

But no, they're all decent.

Do you think those women aren't getting a divorce because they have no pride?

They just live with it.

You live an exciting life on your own.

And you're telling me not to get a divorce?

My life is lousy.

You just don't know how thankful you should be for that lousy life.

Honestly,

if hell exists,

then that place

would be in here.

Anyway, I'm jealous of that too.

So just live your life.

You want me to keep living like this?

I bought you a plant in college that cost 5,000 won.

You still managed to keep it healthy even after 20 years.

You could never let go of any relationship you have,

whether it be with a plant or with an animal.

Do you think you can leave Seo In-ho?

Fine.

If that makes you happy,

I'll welcome that decision with my arms and legs--

Hey!

-I'll do a shoulder dance too. -Jeez, honestly.

Still…

regardless of everything,

if breaking up is the path that will make you unhappy,

then you shouldn't do it, Jeong-suk.

Think long and hard about it.

No one will live your life for you.

You know me

better than I know myself.

Why do I have to quit the hospital?

I'll quit if you get a divorce.

Then you can finish your residency without problems.

Are you telling me

to get a divorce?

Whether I get divorced or not,

what gives you the right to demand that?

"Right"?

Then what right do you have?

You're the one who stole my man, got pregnant, and married him.

How dare you talk to me about rights?

You, out of all people!

If that hadn't happened, this wouldn't have happened either!

Even when I was pregnant in the US,

I had no intention of breaking up your family.

But come to think of it, I was being arrogant.

I didn't want to seem pathetic, so I pretended to be dignified.

But all that was pointless.

I should've shamelessly snatched him away.

Just like you did.

So your actions right now

are justified?

Sure, I'm not saying I did anything good.

But what should In-ho have done?

A one-night mistake resulted in a child.

He left me because you got pregnant.

Should he have left you because I got pregnant?

Is that it? Then you don't deserve redemption either.

You and I are basically the same.

So why am I the only immoral one here?

Why are you the only victim?

I am a victim and so is my daughter!

My daughter is about to give up going to college because of your daughter!

Are you satisfied now?

No.

Your daughter ending up like that

isn't enough to make me feel satisfied in this situation.

But I do hope you realize one thing.

Your daughter's unhappiness is the price of your actions.

Don't be bitter.

I'll consider this the price I'm paying for my actions as well.

I guess you had emergency surgery.

A patient with panperitonitis caused by a cancer obstruction came in,

so I did the Hartmann's procedure. Thankfully, it went well.

-Keep up the good work. -Thank you.

Professor Seo.

-Hello, Professor Kim. -Is something wrong?

A short circuit must have caused a fire in the dorms.

Thankfully, the security guard discovered it early,

so it didn't spread much.

But the smoke is really bad. It's like a tear gas chamber in there.

I see. I'll see you later.

Jeong-suk.

I have to go.

Jeong-suk.

Dr. Cha.

Dr. Cha, are you inside?

Dr. Cha, wake up!

Dr. Cha, wake up!

Dr. Cha!

Open the door right now!

Dr. Cha!

Dr. Cha!

We have to get out of here.

Let's hurry out.

Grab onto me.

Jeong-suk.

I'll be the one to carry my wife.

Let go. Put me down.

Put me down.

I'm fine, so go.

Why was that guy with you?

And why did you come?

What?

Did you think I hit Seung-hi or something?

Seung-hi came here?

Yes, she unleashed her anger on me and left.

Seung-hi.

-Mom. -Hey.

Thank you.

There's still a lot of smoke, right?

It's much better than before.

Hey, Mom.

I heard you know.

About what Father did.

Did Dr. Jeon tell you?

Yes.

Let's talk about that later.

I'm too weak to do it now.

It's okay.

I just need some time.

Mom, let's go to the ER together.

You inhaled a lot of smoke, and you don't look well.

I got out quickly, so I didn't inhale that much.

I just need to rest.

The dorms will be closed for three days.

They need to find out what caused the fire.

I see.

Are you going to come home?

PROFESSOR ROY

I'm opening my place for free to the residents

who lost a place to stay due to the fire.

It's a three-minute walk from the hospital.

Unlimited bread and ramyeon will be provided.

Dr. Cha, are you feeling all right?

I'm fine.

What are you doing here at this hour?

The night duty room in our department is full.

I was going to check if there was room here to sleep.

Did you not see the message?

Professor Roy opened up his place.

Still, how can I go there?

Where are you going to sleep and shower?

There's no room here.

But going there is a bit…

It might be awkward to go alone,

so let's go together.

I was wondering what to do if no one came

after sending out a message like that.

I sincerely welcome you both.

There are two empty rooms over that way.

You can each take one.

I'll wash up first.

The rooms are first come, first served, right?

Of course.

How do you feel?

You looked quite unwell before.

I'm fine.

I guess I had a nightmare.

Do you want a cup of tea?

They are my parents.

So when you said you were adopted…

It's true.

They seem like good people.

That's right.

I was a very lucky case.

The truth is, I'm trying to find my family here.

I'm going to register my DNA first.

You made a good decision.

You have to try once so that you won't have any regrets.

I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you.

I'll head into my room now.

And thank you so much for today.

I wouldn't have been able to escape without you.

Professor, this is your chance.

-What? -You like Dr. Cha.

Me?

Did you really think it wouldn't be obvious?

It does feel a bit immoral, but this situation is an exception.

So I think it's fine.

Go for it.

You know that Professor Seo is cheating.

Well…

But…

Dr. Cha…

could forgive him.

She may be a very forgiving person,

but it'll be hard to forgive him.

He has a kid.

With the woman he's having an affair with.

Hello.

Tell your mom to come home.

The dorms are closing for a few days.

I did tell her to, but she said she wasn't going to.

Then where is she sleeping?

She said she was staying at Professor Roy's place.

What?

He opened up his place to any resident who has no place to go.

I'm sure a lot of people went.

Okay, we'll move on to the next item on the agenda.

What Professor Roy applied for--

Do you really need the devices you applied

for purchase approval?

Yes.

If someone asks you a question,

shouldn't you answer with an explanation?

It's difficult to perform a major hepatectomy

with the laparoscopic instruments we have now.

We need a laparoscopic system with 4K image quality and 3D resolution.

And we need an ICG camera to accurately check the resection margin

and to minimize bile duct injuries as much as possible.

You're already using a laparoscope with 3D resolution.

Perhaps you were not aware of this.

While it may not be an issue for GI tract surgery,

it has its limits for surgery involving the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

And it has no real-time ICG conversion capability.

I explained this all during the last medical meeting

before I applied for approval, so I find the way you're reacting now…

quite troublesome.

We bought the device only three years ago.

If you request a purchase approval as soon as you come here,

what about the devices for other departments?

You're putting the hospital director and the planning director on the spot.

We have fewer patients, and the revenue stays the same even if we get new ones.

They'll nag us!

Excuse me, I shall say a word.

This here--

That was before I came here.

Since I came to this hospital, a lot of things should change.

And Professor Seo, why are you worried about that?

Not even Chief Yoon is saying anything.

What?

Enough!

Why are you fighting like this in a meeting?

As doctors, you should be setting an example!

Yet you're glaring at each other!

I'm talking right now and you're still glaring at each other!

I was out of line during the meeting.

I apologize.

You humiliated me publicly.

Yet you apologize when there's no one else around.

I know that you don't get the organizational culture

because you lived abroad.

But how could you be so rude and two-faced?

You always look at me with contempt. But don't get the wrong idea.

Are you that different from me?

At the very least…

I didn't covet something that wasn't mine.

How indecent.

Yes, honey.

You can tell me, honey.

It's okay, just tell me.

Hello? Professor Seo?

Yes, okay.

I said talk!

Right,

the guardian of the patient Park Gwi-nam, who had surgery two days ago,

wants to see you no matter what.

What should I do?

Is it that difficult to look into a patient who is in pain?

Surgery doesn't solve everything!

She's in pain after you performed the surgery!

You should do something so she's not in pain!

I understand that you're worried.

It's only been two days since her surgery, so it's natural she's in pain.

So give her medicine. She's going to die like this at her age!

We have already given her as many painkillers as we can.

If we give her any more

and cause a delay in discovering any new pains,

things may become dangerous.

You pretend as if you care.

My aunt also underwent surgery for her colon cancer in another hospital.

But her pain was gone within a day and she was able to walk around.

How dare you spew nonsense after screwing up the surgery?

Damn it.

The surgery went well.

The level of pain that she is experiencing is

all within the boundaries explained in the consent form you signed.

If it gets worse,

we will find an appropriate painkiller to administer.

What?

What happened?

She spat on him.

-What? -She did what?

She spat on him.

-Spat? -Really?

Who?

Oh, no.

What did you do this time?

-I just… -No, hang on…

You bit me like a coward?

You pinched me like a coward?

-I pinched you because you bit me. -I bit you because you pinched me.

I'll send you to the ICU.

What a disgrace to fight in the hospital.

You.

Consider yourself lucky that you're still alive.

If you contact Bong-suk one more time,

all bets are off.

I told you already.

Bong-suk texted me first.

At least, today.

Whether it's a text or call, don't answer it. Block her!

Don't order me around. It's not your business!

You betrayed her to marry into a rich household.

How dare you sway her?

You filthy bacteria.

Bacteria? You little…

You virus, how dare you meddle?

Why would you meddle in our ardent love?

You're not her father!

I'm practically like her father.

My father told me not to associate with the likes of you on his deathbed.

Your father died when you were young, before we even met.

I should sew your lips shut with a needle!

-I'll punch you! Three times! -I'll do it two times!

-I'll do it four times! Six times! -I'll do it five times!

Please be quiet!

This punk called me "bacteria."

I held back. I was going to call you "cancer."

You punk, you're divorced with two kids.

My younger sister is still unwed, so how dare you!

Calm down. You two being like this--

You two being like this won't solve anything.

That's exactly what I was saying.

So…

Chief Yoon.

What will you do now?

If Bong-suk forgives me,

I want to start over with her.

Chief Lim.

If your younger sister forgives him,

it's fate, and all is well--

What do you mean by forgive?

Bong-suk told me she's still thinking about it!

Things were going well with the attorney she met!

Wouldn't you try to stop this?

If that person is precious to me,

I would.

I would cheer on her new love.

A man who betrays someone once can betray them again.

-Right. -Dr. Roy, you punk!

What will you do if Bong-suk forgives him?

Love…

lasts forever.

Doesn't love change?

It did so for you.

You're all ready.

Hello, you're here. Dr. Roy dropped by too.

My patient is being discharged, so I should come.

-Did you go see the baby today too? -Yes.

She's so pretty.

How can I leave her here?

The baby may seem like an angel now,

but once you raise her, it's harder than you think.

Right, ma'am?

But they say no mother regrets giving birth to their child.

You're preparing for her first birthday already?

-Yes. -Jeez, don't even get me started.

She's already reserving the food and trying to order the clothes.

Jeez, you're the epitome of an overzealous mother.

She takes after you.

Dr. Seo, what item did you grab on your first birthday?

Me?

I…

Dr. Seo

grabbed a pencil.

To tell you the truth, he's my son.

-Oh, my. -Oh, my.

Really?

-What in the world? -You look alike!

-We do, right? -Yes.

He resembles his father.

I see.

-Then Dr. Seo, can I ask you for a favor? -Sure.

I'm going to prepare a really strong ball of yarn.

But for the pencil, they say it's good to use one

that was used by a smart person.

I see. Would a ballpoint pen work too?

Is it okay to accept this?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Get home safely.

-Mom, give that to me. -No.

Give it. I'll carry it.

I hope she makes it to the baby's first birthday.

She will.

Right.

Didn't your dad give you that pen as a gift?

For when you got into med school.

Yes.

It doesn't matter.

I'll get going.

Hello, Cha Jeong-suk speaking.

What?

That's dangerous. Hey, guys!

Stop it!

Get this bastard.

-Stop! This is a hospital! -No way.

It can't be!

-I told you to stop! -Oh, my!

My goodness!

-Oh, my! -I said stop!

-You two must be crazy! -Come on!

DOCTOR CHA

What's with you? I thought you were all about maintaining your image.

Defend yourself. Otherwise, you might end up on the chopping block.

Someone always has to be held accountable.

Hey, Seo In-ho!

It's annoying to the point of driving me crazy,

so hurry up and leave.

You must have lost your mind.

If you say we should break up, I'm going to kill you.

I'll wait until you finish your meal.

Let's get a divorce.
