DR. ROMANTIC SEASON 3

THE CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS AND
EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE WORKS OF FICTION

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

MAN: In this world,

you can't make it, even if you try.

No matter how hard you try,

there's a line that you can never cross.

(door creaks)

Still, they say you should do your best.

That if you work as hard as you can,
you can make it.

(heavy breathing)

Why do they keep giving us false hope?

It's infuriating.

(sighs)

What can't be done can't be done.

You're born with different circumstances

and have different starting points.

Isn't that right?

Sure.

The world is

an unfair place.

And it's unjust.

(grunts)

But still,

don't assume that others had it easy

while achieving the things
they worked so hard for.

That would really infuriate me

because I worked myself to the bone
to get here.

But there is only one way
that we can make things fair for us.

Dying.

(tense music)

Let's keep it fair and die together.

Me…

and you, Doctor.

It'll really be fair between us.

Sounds fair, right?

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

(gunshot)

(upbeat music)

VOLUME 7
INCITING HOPE

MINGUK: As you can see, the Yeongdong
and Donghae Expressways are on both sides.

Nearby, there are

a total of five national highways

including Route 31, 35, 38, 42, and 59.

Also, there is a casino,

sixteen golf courses,
and four ski resorts nearby.

On top of that,
an average of over 20,000 hikers

visit the mountains
from all over the country every day.

As a result, an average of 30 to 40
traffic accidents occur each week,

and during peak seasons,
they reach up to 60 to 70.

Other incidents and natural disasters

and unpredictable injuries
have been leading to an increase

in emergency patients
and serious trauma patients.

And the place
where all of these patients can be treated

is none other than Doldam Hospital.

The medical staff at Doldam Hospital

have been saving the lives of numerous
emergency and trauma patients every day.

Despite a staff shortage
and an inadequate environment,

we have worked to build our own system

and hired new medical professionals.

After much effort,

we have finally built our Trauma Center.

HEAD OF TRAUMA CENTER, CHA JINMAN

MINGUK: As you may know,

a trauma center is
not a profitable hospital.

We're currently receiving a subsidy
from the Keosan Foundation and the state,

but to run the hospital,

we are in desperate need
of the local government's budget.

I ask you to seriously consider
your support

for our trauma center where we save
countless lives on the frontline

in the budget review.

That will be all.

2023 GANGWON PROVINCIAL ASSEMBLY
BUDGET MEETING

(tense music)

CHAIRMAN: We will now conclude
today's meeting.

-MEMBER 1: Thank you.
-MEMBER 2: Thank you.

Thank you for your time

-I will see you next time.
-Thank you.

-Thank you for your time.
-Sure.

Thank you for your time.

You must've decided to go beyond
being shameless and be bold.

I only feel sorrow and remorse

for what happened to your son.

But if you block the budget
for the trauma center because of that,

that loss

will go straight to the many patients
who need emergency care.

Will you use the patients
as an excuse again?

It's not an excuse.
I'm merely telling you the reality.

A hospital exists for patients,

but at the same time,
it can't exist without money.

From the moment treatment begins,
a great number of resources are needed,

like materials and manpower.

And everything,
down to a tiny cotton ball, costs money.

Are you saying you can't bring
humanism to life without money?

I mean that humanism alone

can't save patients' lives.

(snorts)

I see.

Have a safe trip back.

Apparently, it's snowing.

(sighs)

(Eunjae sighs)

I've been waiting for spring,

but it's snowing instead.

(pants)

These days, you can only predict
that the weather will be unpredictable.

Just accept it.

(sighs)
I'm jealous you're off today.

I want to play in the snow too.

Should we eat lunch together?

Forget it. You don't need to do that.

But if you join me,

I'd appreciate it.

I'd be so grateful.
Thank you very much, indeed.

I'll see you soon. Have a good day.

(laughs)

It's snowing a lot.
Don't run for too long,

so you don't catch a cold.

Okay.

Bye.

(pants)

I'm sorry.

(suspenseful music)

Excuse me. You're hurt.

Hang on.

What's up with you?

(music intensifies)

The wound looks deep.

WOOJIN: You're bleeding a lot too.

You should get it treated at the hospital.

It's bleeding a lot,
and you could get tetanus or septicemia.

You might get frostbite from the cold

which would be even worse.

Do you know me?

No, but I do know
you have a serious wound.

I'm a doctor.

I'm fine.

Just keep going your way.

I'll deal with my leg myself.

(grunts)
Damn it.

(man pants)

(tense music)

WOOJIN: Hey.

Sir!

(breathes heavily)

(Yeongmi sighs)

YEONGMI: The weather is crazy these days.

The forsythias bloomed in winter,

and now it's snowing in spring.

These days, you can only predict
that the weather will be unpredictable.

It is pretty though, right?

You're right.

Such beautiful garbage
is falling by the truckload.

Gosh, you have no sense of romance.

Dr. Jung, have you already
reached that age

when you feel nothing
even at the sight of falling snow?

I just don't like

anything that falls from the sky,
whether it's rain or snow.

I hope there aren't any accidents.

(phone rings)

This is the Doldam Hospital Trauma Center.

Yes, that's right.

What?

Is that so?

Yes, got it.

Is it another traffic accident?

How many cars? Did many people get hurt?

There was a shooting incident
at the nearby military base.

-(gasps)
-What?

Four have been injured,
including two gunshot wounds.

But the helicopter can't take them
to the military hospital with the weather.

They must be in bad condition.
They're sending the patients here.

-(groans)
-(sighs)

Gunshot wounds?

Yes, Dr. Jung Insu
and Dr. Cha Eunjae are on standby.

Should we call Master Kim too?

Will that really be necessary?

Gunshot wounds are different
from regular trauma cases.

Having an experienced doctor
makes a big difference.

MYEONGSIM: And four have been injured,
including those with gunshot wounds.

We only have Dr. Yang Hojun
for general surgery.

Call Dr. Seo Woojin.

Dr. Seo is off today.

Professor Park also left
early this morning

for a provincial assembly budget meeting.

Then let's decide
after we see the patients' conditions.

Then it'll be too late.

Damage control is
a battle against the clock,

and the patients' lives
depend on how much time they have, sir.

Are you lecturing me right now?

(sighs)
You don't know much about trauma cases.

So you should learn.

Can you handle gunshot wounds?

SURGERY IN PROGRESS

(grunts)

(chuckles)

Good work, Doctor.

You too, Dr. Bae.

(exhales deeply)

(upbeat music)

Cut.

Cut.

SABU: Cut.

Doctor.

When did you get here?

-Keep going.
-Pardon?

Keep going.

Yes, sir.

(quirky music)

(Seonung sighs)

Which are your actual skills?

What you showed before or now?

Sorry, Doctor.

I can manage when I'm working alone, but…

But do your hands freeze up
when someone is watching?

Yes.

-NURSE 1: Master.
-SABU: Yes.

NURSE 1: Ms. Oh is calling.

Okay.

Keep practicing. I won't watch.

Keep going.

(sighs)

Ms. Oh, it's me. What's going on?

(sighs)

(pants)
Euntak, we have a patient.

(man grunts)

Get him in bed one.

Slowly.

Lie down here.

-(Woojin groans)
-(man grunts)

(pants)

MAN: No.

Never.

(scissors snipping)

WOOJIN: There.

We'll disinfect the wound
and take his temperature.

I'll disinfect it. Please hand it to me.

(grunts)

How did you bring him in?

I nearly bumped into him while jogging.
He seemed to be in bad shape.

Temperature is 39.1°.

WOOJIN: There doesn't seem to be
a vessel injury.

I think the wound is infected.

Euntak, let's run some bloodwork.

-(phone vibrates)
-Okay.

It's the Trauma Center.
They have gunshot wound patients.

(tense music)

Aren't you off today?

It's not like I had anything else to do.

It's not every day
you see gunshot wound patients.

I don't want to miss it.

No way. You're going to see a patient?
On your day off?

I'll leave him in your hands.

Okay.

(exclaims)

I'm liking him less and less.

He's a monster, isn't he?
He can't be human.

Euntak, please do
a bacterial culture on him

and give him an antibiotic injection.

Dr. Dong, you'll stitch him up, right?

-Me?
-Why? Can't you handle it?

Sure. I can handle it.

DONGHWA: I'll do it.

-EUNTAK: I'll get things ready.
-AREUM: Okay.

(phone rings)

Dr. Yoon. It's Master Kim.

Okay.

Dr. Yoon.

I was just called to the Trauma Center.

Yes, Master Kim. I heard from Dr. Seo.

There are gunshot wound patients?

Yes, that's why I called.

I might be away
for quite a while this time.

You can manage the ER
until I get back, right?

What?

Uh…

Of course. No problem.
Don't worry, Master Kim.

(in English)
Okay.

(in Korean)
Then I'll be back.

What?

What's wrong, Dr. Yoon?

Which surgeons will be left here
if Master Kim and Dr. Seo are gone?

(sucks teeth)

That leaves Dr. Ung for cardiothoracic
and Dr. Dong. Why do you ask?

ADMISSION DESK

DONGHWA: Let's begin.

Those two and I

will be able to manage the ER, right?

-(sirens wailing)
-Right?

-What?
-PARAMEDIC: We have a patient!

(patient yelling)

PATIENT 1: My leg!

-Hang on.
-MAN 2: Shut up.

It hurts so much, man!

MAN 3: What's with this hospital?

PATIENT 1: Please be gentle with me.
(groans)

(intense music)

INSU: Are you in charge?

BOSEUNG: Yes,
First Lieutenant Kang Boseung.

It happened an hour and a half ago.

We loaded him with saline on the way,
but his vitals kept dropping.

How much did you give him?

Almost a liter.

BOSEUNG: Doctor, the other two patients
are in bad shape too.

One has serious blunt force trauma
to the stomach.

The other hit his head hard as he fell
and is unconscious.

(breathes heavily)

Dr. Jung. Let's get
the GSW patients to the trauma bay first.

(high-pitched ringing)

EUNJAE: Dr. Jung?

(patient 2 groans)

(cries, grunts)

SABU: Get the GSW patients
to the trauma bay first.

The other two patients
will go to the observation area.

WOOJIN: Sorry I'm late.

Let's move him.

EUNJAE: Let's move the patient.
Please bring a portable X-ray machine.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

My thoughts just got tangled up for a bit.

Sorry, Doctor.

We'll handle the gunshot wounds.

You can take the observation area.

Yes, Doctor.

I'll go with him.

DOLDAM HOSPITAL TRAUMA CENTER

Where's the head of the trauma center?

I just called him.

Call him again.

Yes, Doctor.

(phone vibrates)

JINMAN: Why is it?

Woojin.

I've confirmed the two exit wounds.

It seems
there are two through-and-throughs

and one bullet

is still in his abdomen.

Cha Eunjae. What about that patient?

There's an exit wound on his side.

EUNJAE: I think a bullet only grazed
his calf.

But the thigh was hit.

I think it's along the femoral artery.

If it's in this spot,
it could've torn through the nerve too.

Nurse Kim, let me see the ultrasound.

JINMAN: That guy flies around
the trauma center with so much vigor.

So why did he

bring me into this position?

It's mostly due to external factors.

Having you as the head
of the trauma center gives the impression

that this place is
running smoothly from the outside.

You could say
that it adds to our public confidence.

-JINMAN: No.
-(sighs)

There's no way
he brought me here just for that.

The Bu Yongju that I know

isn't the kind of guy

to care about things
like public confidence.

Then it must mean
there is an internal factor.

SABU: Eunjae, something about that
seems wrong, doesn't it?

(clattering)

-EUNJAE: Are you okay?
-SABU: Yes, I'm fine.

(suspenseful music)

SABU: Let's take a look.

EUNJAE: Can you bring this down?

JINMAN: Yongju, are you perhaps…

starting to fall?

(patient 1 yelling)

It hurts! My leg!

PATIENT 1: Do it gently, please.

My pants!

These are designer pants!
They're expensive!

Hang on, please.

Sir, don't move. We must treat you first.

-Darn it.
-AREUM: Euntak, how are his vitals?

It's 140/90, heart rate 128.

AREUM: Oh, the swelling is really bad.

Let's order an X-ray.
Ms. Eom, can you call Dr. Ortho?

MUNJEONG: Dr. Ortho is here.

You were here.
I thought you were at the trauma center.

Master Kim told me to help you out today.

He did?

Let's see here.

-Goodness, you hurt yourself pretty badly.
-(yells)

You should've been more careful.
It's snowing out.

Let's run an OP lab
and do a lower extremity angiography.

And please call Dr. Lee Seonung.

Yes, Doctor.

I'll be back after I see the results.

Yes, Dr. Bae.

AREUM: Euntak.

Please give the patient
pethidine for his pain.

Yes, Doctor.

It's you, right?

Park Euntak.

Who...

It's me, Heo Byungbae.

Maybe you don't remember me.

But you must remember Seokgu, right?

Hey, Seokgu. Look over here.

BYUNGBAE: Guess who I'm with now.

(tense music)

Park Euntak?

(music intensifies, fades)

Yes, Dr. Bae.

What is the ER like over there?

There's a motorcycle TA patient.

He has a femur fracture.

MUNJEONG: It's a spiral type
and his femoral artery was torn.

It won't need to be reconstructed,
but it will need to be repaired.

(sighs)

Okay, got it.

-MYEONGSIM: Master Kim.
-Yes?

Dr. Jung just checked with the sonogram,

and the abdominal trauma patient
has hemoperitoneum.

(inaudible)

Can you call Dr. Yang Hojun here quickly?

(sighs)

Well, I actually just called him.

Apparently, he went out to grab lunch and…

(horns honking)

HOJUN: I'm sorry, Ms. Oh.

I was just grabbing some lunch,

but the cars won't budge
for an hour because of the snow.

This is driving me crazy.

My goodness.

(sighs)

(sighs)

Is Professor Cha not here yet?

I called him, but he's still not here.

Get him on the line.
I'll talk to him myself.

JINMAN: There's no need.

I'm here.

(Sabu sighs)

SABU: Good going.

We have four trauma patients,

but the head of the trauma center
is just lurking around.

They say
you're an expert on gunshot wounds.

So I called you. What's the problem?

We have three combined operations
and a hemoperitoneum.

We need to get the bleeding under control
for all of them. What will you do?

The ball is in your court.
You should arrange the surgeries too.

Let me learn a thing from you.

What?

If I don't know, I should learn.

Isn't that right, Ms. Oh?

-(scoffs)
-(tense music)

-Have Dr. Seo handle the hemoperitoneum.
-Yes, sir.

Cha Eunjae and I will take
the lung through-and-through case.

After I remove the bullet in his abdomen,

we'll move on to the femoral artery.

Until then, you, the head of the center,

will remove the bullet in the thigh
and stitch up the artery.

SABU: After that,

I'll go in and finish up
on the through-and-through patient.

Then we'll continue
with the nerve reconstruction nonstop.

(inhales deeply)
Is it okay to push yourself so much?

Are you picking a fight
or being sarcastic?

I'm just worried.

(tense music continues)

SABU: Ms. Oh.

-MYEONGSIM: Yes, sir.
-Let's get ready.

Yes, sir.

Then I'll go and get ready too.

Cha Eunjae and Bu Yongju will handle
the lung through-and-through.

Seo Woojin will handle the hemoperitoneum.

JINMAN: And I'll handle
the femoral artery.

Get ready.

Yes, sir.

Let's insert another tube
on the right side and move him to the OR.

You inserted a tube on the left.
Why do you need another on the right?

The right side still shows signs of
pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema.

The broken bone must've damaged the lungs.

The subcutaneous emphysema
could go past the midline.

JINMAN: It could start on the left
and go to the right.

If the pneumothorax isn't that serious,

inserting tubes on both sides
is too much, Dr. Cha.

But--

If you have the time for that,
look at the patient's history instead.

JINMAN: In the cardiopulmonary area,

the surgical procedure
and outcome may change

depending on
the patient's operation risks.

You decide. He's your patient.

(sighs)

MYEONGSIM: Dr. Seo.

The hemoperitoneum patient will go
to Operating Room Two in Doldam Hospital.

Dr. Yang of Jungil Hospital
is getting ready.

Dr. Cha, you're in Operating Room One
in the trauma center with Master Kim.

Dr. Nam Doil is getting ready.

The femoral artery patient
is in Operating Room Two, sir.

Let's move the patients.

Dr. Cha Eunjae.

Let's move the patient to the OR.

My dad knows better than I do. It's fine.

REPORTER: A heavy snow warning
has been issued

all across Gangwon Province.

The snowfall started around 10 a.m.

As of 2 p.m., there has been 20 cm of snow

and it's growing deeper.

The heavy snow started falling
over the Yeongdong area,

and it blanketed
the eastern coast in white in no time.

Power outages have been occurring
in areas where snow removal was delayed.

And village buses have
stopped running temporarily.

Many people have been experiencing
inconveniences throughout the day.

As traffic continues to be congested,
traffic accidents keep occurring as well.

Cars cannot move forward

and keep struggling in place
as their tires spin out.

As such, the slippery roads have led to

a total of nine traffic accidents,
large and small, throughout this morning.

ABRUPT SNOWFALL CAUSES INCONVENIENCE

REPORTER: This snowfall will continue
until later tonight.

GITAE: I guess we won't be ordering
jjajangmyeon for a while.

Seriously.

We have some jjajang cup noodles too.
Would you like that too?

REPORTER: Citizens are asked
to take extra safety precautions.

-Shall we then?
-(knocking)

GITAE: My goodness.

Was there perhaps
a package delivery for me?

No, there wasn't.

-Was there?
-No, I didn't see anything.

Is it something important?

My contact lens was torn recently,
so I ordered new ones.

I see.

Well, that's unfortunate.

I don't think packages will be delivered
for a few days because of the snow.

Right.

Thanks, anyway.

Dr. Lee must have bad eyesight.

It must be uncomfortable in many ways.

That being said, let's quickly have
some jjajang cup noodles.

Yes, sir.

STAFF: This one.

-GITAE: The jjajang flavored one.
-STAFF: Okay.

(suspenseful music)

-SEONUNG: What?
-Have you handled vascular cases before?

I haven't performed surgery myself,
but I have assisted with it.

Then this will be
your first time leading the surgery.

MUNJEONG: All right.

You want me to do this?

I saw you practicing earlier.
I'm sure you can do it.

It's a big blood vessel, not a small one.

MUNJEONG: So it won't be that complicated.

What about Master Kim?

He went into emergency surgery
on the gunshot wound patient with Dr. Cha.

MUNJEONG: The only cardiothoracic surgeon

who can operate on this patient
at Doldam now is you, Dr. Lee.

NURSES' STATION

DOLDAM HOSPITAL TRAUMA CENTER

(suspenseful music)

EUNJAE: Could I have
the patient's history?

Yes, here are his medical records.

BOSEUNG: He had pleurisy as a child

and had the fluid drained once.

-Master Kim.
-Yes?

Why are there so many soldiers outside?

Soldiers were hurt.
They must've come along.

Still, that many?

And they're all fully armed.

Fully armed?

4 INJURED SOLDIERS
TRANSFERRED TO NEARBY HOSPITAL

NARRATOR: The mother reindeer
licks her baby's fur for a while.

She breathes life into it.

SHOOTER CURRENTLY ON THE RUN

Mr. Jang,
could that hospital be Doldam Hospital?

No way.

(suspenseful music)

BOSEUNG: Yes, sir.

I'll keep you updated
on how the surgeries go.

Yes, sir. Salute.

You must be hard at work.

Would you like a beverage?

Yes, thank you.

By the way,

GITAE: I saw on the news

that the shooter is still on the run.

Has he still not been caught?

The military and police
are searching for him right now,

so you shouldn't worry too much.

-I see.
-BOSEUNG: Yes.

By any chance, is the shooter

also a soldier?

Thank you for the drink.

EMPLOYEE: What did he say?

He says I shouldn't worry,

but something feels off.

Why?

It feels as if
he's trying to hide something.

(walkie-talkie beeps)

Mr. Lee.

Could you find out
which division they're from?

Yes, Mr. Jang.

DONGHWA: It'll be done in about two hours.

You can leave
as soon as the IV bag is empty.

(phone vibrates)

He's being awfully quiet.

(scoffs)

(scoffs)

Mr. Park.

Dr. Seo is calling.

EUNTAK: Yes, I heard it
from Ms. Oh just now.

I'll wrap it up soon
and head over to the OR. You go ahead.

Okay then.

SEOKGU: What is this?

Am I the only one

who finds this strange here?

Am I the only one getting chills?

You suddenly disappeared
so I thought you bit the dust somewhere.

Who knew you'd be playing doctor
here in the boonies?

Please be quiet.

You're bothering the other patients.

What a load of crap, you punk.

Excuse me, sir.

This is a public place.
Please don't swear.

Out of the way, sis.

I'm not your sister.

AREUM: If you keep making a scene,
I could have you forcibly removed.

I have the authority to do so
as the person in charge of the ER.

(laughs)
How scary.

-(man 3 laughs)
-I'm so damned scared.

SEOKGU: I'm scared.

Sis in charge,
you're pretty damn charismatic.

I told you not to swear.

Do you have a death wish?

What are you doing?

Be quiet and leave once you're done.

Don't make a ruckus. Got it?

You damned little…

Euntak.

Step back.

AREUM: Euntak.

Don't react to him. Don't cause trouble.

TRAUMA CENTER

MUNJEONG: Huh?

Dr. Seo, aren't you off today?

I got called in about a trauma case.

The ORs are full over there,
so we're moving the patient here.

(sighs)

Take it easy.

This is why Dr. Jang Donghwa
always says he likes you less and less.

(laughs softly)

MUNJEONG: Oh, right.

I hear you're staying
at the medical office.

You can stay with me
if it's too uncomfortable.

The medical office isn't that bad.

I'm used to it now.

Still, you can always ask me
if you ever need anything.

You can do that with me.

This moment in my life

is like the warmest springtime.

All the days I spend here at Doldam

are like that for me.

Mr. Koo!

HYEONJEONG: Mr. Koo…

Dr. Ortho! Dr. Seo! We have a problem!

Euntak got into a fight in the ER! Hurry!

-Hurry!
-Euntak?

So?

Should we have another go here?

We have some unfinished business
from 10 years ago, remember?

Should we finish that mess here?

I told you to be quiet.

SEOKGU: Why?

Are you scared?

SEOKGU: This is what I mean.

(scoffs)
Just act like your old self.

Hey.

Just because you wear these clothes
and pretend to be nice,

it doesn't mean you'll become an angel.

It damned doesn't suit you at all.

It creeps me out, you punk!

(Seokgu chuckles)

I mean,

you even killed a man.

(tense music)

You little…

What are you doing, Euntak?

You can't do this in the hospital.

I'm going to kill this guy.

Don't do this. Let him go now.

Get off me.

Euntak!

(breathes heavily)

The hemoperitoneum patient
will arrive at the OR soon.

Go and prepare for surgery, okay?

Please do that, Euntak.

(pants)

(soft music)

What an idiot.

(scoffs)

Mr. Koo!

Yes, Doctor.

If this patient

causes a scene again,
have him discharged right away.

Understood, Doctor.

What are you doing? Get ready for surgery.

Pardon? Yes, I'm coming.

(pants)

BOY: Euntak.

Save me.

Please...

save me.

(horns honking)

(sighs)

DIRECTOR PARK MINGUK

(gasps, exhales)

(clears throat)

Yes, Director Park.

Hey, how are things at the hospital?

I heard we had soldiers
with gunshot wounds.

Are they in surgery?

Well, the thing is...

I'm on my way back
after grabbing a quick lunch.

Lunch? Why are you still eating lunch?

Well, I'm done eating lunch.

HOJUN: I was on my way
back to the hospital,

but I'm stuck in traffic due to the snow.

Don't worry too much, sir.

I'll get back as soon as I can.

I'll go back, assess the situation,
and report back to you soon.

Director Park?

(in sing-song)
Director Park?

(gasps)

Why are you there, Director Park?

You said it was a quick lunch,
but did you drive into town for it,

Dr. Yang Hojun?

Well, what happened was...

HOJUN: The thing is,
my favorite hamburger restaurant

opened a new location in town.

I really like
their chicken burgers, you see.

-HOJUN: I really just had one burger--
-(line disconnects)

Hello?

HOJUN: Director Park!

I swear I'm telling the truth!

This is Park Minguk.

How is the trauma center right now?

I really only ate one burger.

The ORs are full?

HOJUN: Director Park! Just this once.

-(horns honking)
-HOJUN: Director Park!

I just wanted the burger so badly.

Director Park!

You'd understand
if you tried it too. Director Park!

EUNJAE: Patient is 24 years old.
Two through-and-through GSWs to the chest.

We'll start an exploratory thoracotomy.

After we take care of
the two gunshot wounds on the left lung,

we'll remove the bullet
lodged in his abdomen.

May I begin?

DOIL: Yes, you may begin.

EUNJAE: Scalpel, please.

JINMAN: Is it just you and me, Ms. Oh?

MYEONGSIM: Don't worry.
I'll assist you well.

JINMAN: Let's see then.

Hm…

Scalpel.

WOOJIN: What about Euntak?

DONGHWA: He isn't here yet.

Should I call him?

(sighs)

(tense music)

(sighs)

(Seongung exhales)

Shall we go in?

SEONUNG: Sir.

I have something to tell you first.

WOOJIN: Let's begin the operation.

DONGHWA: Without Euntak?

WOOJIN: Why?
Can't you do this on your own?

DONGHWA: It's not that. Let's do this.

WOOJIN: Scalpel.

(Seonung exhales)

MUNJEONG: Don't be nervous.

Just do it like how you practiced.

You can do this.

SEONUNG: Yes, Doctor.

SEONUNG: Patient is a 29-year-old male.

He has a distal femur fracture

and a femoral artery laceration.

After a thrombectomy
using the Fogarty catheter,

I will repair the damaged areas.

May I begin?

ANESTHESIOLOGIST: You may begin.

SEONUNG: Scalpel.

MUNJEONG: I think that's the right line.
Good.

With confidence.

(tense music)

(phone vibrates)

(grunts)

(sighs)

Let me use the restroom.

RESTRICTED AREA
OPERATING ROOM

WOOJIN: Metz.

As soon as I open,
suction with both tubes.

WOOJIN: Suction.

(machine beeps frantically)

WOOJIN: Suction!

WOOJIN: Right next to that.

WOOJIN: There.

More gauze.

DONGHWA: The blood is starting to clot.

WOOJIN: Then scoop it out.

WOOJIN: Pour in saline. Lots of it.

WOOJIN: Once more.

Suction.

WOOJIN: Richardson.

WOOJIN: Forceps.

WOOJIN: Do you see it?

DONGHWA: Yes, I see it.

WOOJIN: Then clamp it!

DONGHWA: What? Oh, right.

-Kelly.
-WOOJIN: Are you sure about that?

DONGHWA: Give me the Mixter clamp, please.

(Donghwa grunts)

(Donghwa sighs)

ANESTHESIOLOGIST: You got it.

BP is starting to rise.

WOOJIN: You take care of the mesentery.
I'll get the artery.

Ms. Oh.

Give Dr. Jang the sutures.

DONGHWA: I'll take them.

WOOJIN: You must've been practicing
regularly.

DONGHWA: I wasn't at the top of my class,
but I wasn't at the bottom either.

Cut.

WOOJIN: Cut.

(hopeful music)

(inaudible)

DOIL: What do you mean,

the blood transport vehicle
is stuck in traffic?

NURSE 2: We're supposed to get
more blood today,

but they're stuck in traffic
due to the snow.

EUNJAE: Linear cutter, please.

DOIL: Check how much blood we have
at the hospital for now,

and contact
all nearby hospitals and health centers

for emergency backup.

NURSE 2: Yes, Doctor.

SABU: Hang on.

-Where is the blood transport vehicle now?
-NURSE 2: Pardon?

SABU: Find out where the vehicle is stuck.

NURSE 2: Yes, Doctor.

SABU: And Ms. An.

Call Dr. Yang Hojun
and put him on speaker.

EUNJAE: Sutures, please.

HOJUN: Let's go, please.

(moans)
Come on.

(stomach growls)

HOJUN: No, Hojun. My stomach.

(grunts)

No, wait. Quiet down.

(groans)

(stomach continues growling)

My stomach.

(phone rings)

DOLDAM MS. AN

(grunts)

Hello?

SABU: This is Master Kim.
Where are you right now?

HOJUN: Yes, Master Kim.

(Hojun exhales)

HOJUN: I'm sorry.

I just stepped out to grab some lunch and…

Darn it.

I really only had one burger.

HOJUN: It's my favorite hamburger--

SABU: So where are you right now?

I'm almost there.
Really, I'll be back soon.

SABU (shouting): Give me your location!
Where are you now?

Pardon?

This is...

I'm near the Ulmok three-way intersection.

SABU: Ulmok?

Hey, hurry up and see
if the blood transport vehicle is nearby.

HOJUN: The blood transport vehicle?

One second, Master Kim.

Oh?

BLOOD TRANSPORT VEHICLE

Yes, it's here! I see it.

HOJUN: It's one, two, three,
four, five cars

ahead of my car.
(chuckles)

SABU: Hey, are you a good runner?

Pardon?

(door closes)

Excuse me.

I need to take some of those boxes.

Will you be okay? These weigh quite a bit.

I must take them.
That's the only way I can live.

Pardon?

Just give them to me!

(grunts)

(grunts)

(sighs)

-(upbeat, hopeful music)
-Director Park.

Pick it up.

Yes, sir.

KOREAN RED CROSS BLOOD TRANSPORT BOX

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

EUNJAE: We've stopped all the bleeding.

SABU: Let's close up quickly
and get the bullet in the retroperitoneum.

EUNJAE: Yes, Doctor.

(machine beeps frantically)

DOIL: Dr. Cha, didn't you get
all the bleeders?

EUNJAE: I did.

DOIL: His vitals are dropping again.

EUNJAE: What? That's not possible.

I made sure I stopped all the bleeders.

SABU: Which side did you say
the rib fracture was in?

EUNJAE: The right side.

SABU: Dr. Nam.
Take a quick look at the patient's neck.

DOIL: The subcutaneous emphysema
is up to his face.

SABU: Ms. An, the povidone-iodine.

SABU: Scalpel.

(intense music)

(air hisses)

SABU: Chest tube.

JINMAN: You inserted a tube on the left.

Why do you need another on the right?

Inserting tubes on both sides
is too much, Dr. Cha.

SABU: Scalpel.

Richardson.

SABU: You need to turn it around.

Long forceps.

Metz.

SABU: Pull it down a little.

SABU: Retractor.

(Sabu grunts)

(Eunjae gasps)

(Sabu grunts)

(Eunjae breathes heavily)

SABU: Stop the bleeding first

and do a wedge resection.

(Eunjae breathes shakily)

(Eunjae exhales)

SABU (muffled): Cha Eunjae.

SABU (clearly): Cha Eunjae!

EUNJAE: Yes, Doctor.

SABU: Look at me.

Focus!

The patient isn't dead yet.
Pull yourself together, got it?

EUNJAE: Yes, Doctor.

(Eunjae exhales, sniffles)

SABU: Long forceps.

Suction.

(Eunjae breathes shakily)

SABU: Suction!

EUNJAE: Suction.
(sniffles)

-DOIL: What about the blood?
-NURSE 2: That was the last one.

The Doldam ORs
are running low on blood too.

DOIL: Call Dr. Yang Hojun
and ask him where he is.

NURSE 2: Yes, Doctor.

(tense music)

KOREAN RED CROSS BLOOD TRANSPORT BOX

(pants)

(Hojun wheezes)

Director.
(pants)

Can we please slow down?

Shut it. Run.

I can't...

(chokes)
I can't breathe.

Shut it!

Run!

(Hojun wheezes)

(pants)

(moans)

(Hojun continues moaning)

(machine beeps frantically)

DOIL: Cardiac arrest!
Push 1 mg of epi every 3 minutes.

(Sabu grunts)

SABU: Eunjae, take this out.

(Eunjae breathes heavily)

(Sabu grunts)

SABU: Doil.

DOIL (in English): Okay.

(Sabu pants)

(Sabu continues panting)

(Hojun pants)

(continues panting)

-NURSE 3: Great work, sir.
-NURSE 4: Great work, sir.

(Hojun pants)

Go!

(Minguk pants loudly)

(pants, grunts)

(pants, groans)

(Hojun groans)

(pants loudly)

I can't move my hand.

Dr. Bae.

I can't move my hand.

(hopeful music)

(Woojin sighs in relief)

(sighs)

HOJUN: I was so surprised.

I knew you were in great shape,

but I never thought you'd run that fast.

Submit a report
on leaving the hospital today.

Pardon?

A report?

-As I told you earlier…
-(stomach growls)

What? Is there a problem?

(strained) Well, the thing is...

It started snowing…

HOJUN (groaning): Sir.

I'm sorry.

Please excuse me...

(groans)

(scoffs)

-(stomach growls)
-Ah!

MEN'S RESTROOM

HOJUN: But I only had one burger!

(Hojun groans)

(somber music)

Good work.

What?

How does it feel to save a patient?

Well,

you were the one who did that, not me.

Today, it was you who did well.

(bright music)

(sniffles)

JINMAN: There is muscle injury
in part of the rectus femoris

and the vastus medialis.

JINMAN: Don't these cases usually

have orthopedic surgeons take the lead,
not the CT surgeons?

SABU: That's usually the case.

But this is the trauma center.

Oftentimes in trauma cases,
we have to ignore who's the main surgeon

and start tackling the problem
with whatever is easiest to access.

With your skills, you wouldn't need
an orthopedic surgeon to join in.

I thought you'd use

an anatomical approach
to pull off an arteriorrhaphy yourself.

Why? You aren't sure of yourself?

JINMAN (sighing): Are you picking
a fight again?

SABU: No.

I meant that I trust you.

We may think differently,

but I've never doubted your skills.

JINMAN: DeBakey.

Metz.

JINMAN: There isn't much vessel damage.

Shall we take off the tourniquet?

NURSE 5: Taking off the tourniquet.

(beeps)

JINMAN: Okay, vascular looks good.

Let's remove the foreign body and wrap up.

Kelly.

(Jinman grunts)

MYEONGSIM: Is it lodged in the bone?

JINMAN: It doesn't seem
to be lodged in deeply.

There's just a cortical break.

Let's try pulling it out.

(tense music)

-(flatlining)
-(air pumping rythmically)

DOIL: Master Kim.

I think we've lost him.

(Sabu pants)

-(tense music)
-(Eunjae exhales)

SABU: Cha Eunjae.
We're doing an open cardiac massage.

Get him open now.

EUNJAE: What? Me?

SABU: There's no time to switch places.
You do it.

Povidone iodine.

(Eunjae breathes shakily)

EUNJAE: Mosquito forceps, please.

(Eunjae breathes shakily)

EUNJAE: Scalpel blade no. 10.

(Eunjae breathes heavily)

EUNJAE: Mayo.

(Eunjae breathes heavily)

SABU: What are you doing?
Cardiac massages, now!

CARDIAC: HEART

SABU: Slowly. Gently.

(Eunjae breathes heavily)

DOIL: Get some more blood.

(Sabu pants)

SABU: Switch places.

Take out your hands.

(Eunjae breathes heavily)

EUNJAE: It's my fault.

I failed this patient.

(Sabu pants)

(Eunjae cries)

Woojin.

What's wrong?

Is it another patient?

I can't find

Euntak.

I looked everywhere in the hospital,
but I couldn't find him.

He won't answer his phone.

Sir, how do you feel?

DOLDAM HOSPITAL

What? Where did he go?

Mr. Koo, have you seen this patient?

No, I haven't.

The patient I was guarding

didn't come back from the restroom,
so I was going to look for him.

DR. ROMANTIC SEASON 3

GITAE: We should let
Master Kim know first.

DOIL: Cha Eunjae has a hard time as it is
because of her surgery anxiety.

SEOKGU: I could destroy those ten years…

It's him, right?

-…in less than five minutes.
-(gunshots)

Evacuate everyone in the lobby to the ER.

I'll stay here.

SABU: What about Seo Woojin?

Where is he now?

WOOJIN: Don't assume
that others had it easy

while achieving the things
they worked so hard for.

-DONGHWA: Doctor!
-(gunshot)
