(Episode 7)

What brings you here?

I came here to see Yoo Bin.

Why would you want to visit Yoo Bin?

I couldn't come after I had left for the US.

I don't think she has any idea who you are.

If you visit her like this, wouldn't she be flustered?

Professor Choi.

My heart is breaking because this is the only thing I can do.

You won't die just because your heart is breaking.

Make today your last day visiting her.

That's the only thing I want from you.

Is it that you can't forgive me?

Or is it that you can't forgive yourself?

What?

Aren't you staying at Taesan because you want to build...

a cardiology center for children?

You haven't changed for a bit from four years ago when I had left.

Your status and the circumstance you're in.

Since I'm back, use me.

Don't push me away.

I'll help you in any way I can even if it means using my family name.

You need...

the pediatric cardiology center to save...

children like Yoo Bin.

I'm sorry.

Yoo Bin.

(Choi Yoo Bin)

I'll become...

a good doctor.

Professor.

Thanks, Dr. Park.

I'll take him when he stabilizes.

- Okay. - I owe you a big one.

Not at all.

Thanks.

Can you give me the chart?

I'm sure you did a good job, but just in case.

By morning, please.

Yes, sir.

That's him from when you were at Joongsan,

- right? - Yes.

Please prepare all the medical records.

All of them?

Don't worry too much.

You saved his life. I'm sure it'll be okay.

Move!

Intubation!

(Patient: Yoon Soo Yeon Surgeon: Choi Seok Han)

Hang in there, Yoo Bin. Daddy will save you.

Bring me the pump. What are you waiting for?

My baby...

(Central Surgery Center)

(Central Surgery Center)

Dr. Park, why weren't you answering...

Mr. Hwang Hyun Gi's awake.

Do you hear me?

You're in the ICU at Taesan Hospital.

Do you remember fainting on the plane?

You received surgery here.

Thank goodness.

He's awake. What else would he say?

- Give him an ABGA. - Okay.

We got in touch with your guardian, so you don't need to worry.

The respirator must be uncomfortable, but be patient.

Here it is.

Looks good.

I think we can remove the tube.

He's awake?

Yes, sir. He just woke up.

Good work.

It's thanks to you.

You saved him.

Call his guardian in the morning.

Yes, sir.

Ask them to sterilize OR 20.

I had to go in because I left something there.

Yes, sir. Okay.

Dr. Park.

Tell him that his guardian asked for the chart.

He'll help.

Professor.

Never mind.

[Kocowa Ver] SBS E07 Heart Surgeons "Not as Long as I’m Around" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

I put in the order for Jung In Sung. I'm going to the ICU.

Again? You went early this morning.

It's his mother.

I wonder if she's awake.

Hwang Jin Chul?

Why is that jerk here?

Here are the medical records.

Thank you.

Professor Choi was on call all night and just went home,

so I'll take his calls.

Okay.

- Hey, Tae Soo. - Woo Jin.

That jerk Hwang Jin Chul is here. Did you see?

What?

Here he is.

Hello, Professor. It's been a while.

I'll let you go. I need to go too.

Yes, hello? Emergency? Okay, I'm coming down.

He works here too?

Taesan is on its way down.

Here are the documents you requested.

Thanks.

I'd like to look through them somewhere quiet.

The surgery went well.

Professor Choi Seok Han performed the surgery?

- Yes. - I was nervous at first.

He's a Haewon University graduate just like you.

Goodness, it's hard to trust such doctors.

I'd like to thank him in person.

He was on call last night. He went home this morning.

He was on call.

Gosh, things are tough all around.

Cardiothoracic surgeons have too much work.

I'll see him before I go back down.

How is it at Taesan? It's pretty good, isn't it?

Yes.

Enjoy it all you want.

It seems your days are numbered here.

I thought he was transferred here from the airport right away,

but that wasn't what happened.

I heard something juicy at Bohye Hospital.

Not only did you open him up at a hospital...

you didn't have privileges at,

but you also used glue?

- Right on his heart? - That was...

I had no other options.

Had I not stopped the bleeding with the glue,

your brother would have passed away.

Probably, but he's alive now.

I remember reading a report...

of a doctor who used glue when medical glue wasn't invented.

I know that too.

And I also know this is enough to get you fired.

You're a cardiothoracic surgeon too.

Yes, if I can save the patient, I can use it too.

No one would say anything.

But Park Tae Soo,

you can't do that as long as I'm alive.

(Hospital Director's Office and Hospital Chef's Office)

My mother is on ECMO.

When she gets the heart transplant, I'll leave.

- Please just until then... - Life is full of surprises.

That day, I was begging you in an elevator too.

I used the glue to save the patient.

Okay. You can tell them that too.

At the disciplinary hearing which you seem to love.

What are you doing?

Please let this one go.

You don't change, do you?

(Park Tae Soo, Taesan University Hospital)

You worked at Taesan for four years.

You somehow managed. It must haven't been easy.

Why don't you take a break now?

Don't you think so?

Professor Hwang.

Just give me a month. Just a month.

You probably figured out you couldn't be a professor here.

Just think of it as an early exit. Taking a few months off is okay.

Because of you, I was suspended for months...

and stood trial.

My perspective in life changed.

What have I done wrong to deserve this?

Repeat that.

Dr. Yoon Soo Yeon is back.

I didn't hear any news about that.

I heard it when I came to work this morning too.

She came to the hospital with an emergency patient.

She'll start this week.

Darn it. I wasn't given a heads-up.

Good morning, everyone.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hi. - Hello.

Chief Koo, you must be thirsty. Drink this now.

Okay.

Did you dye your hair?

- Thank you for the coffee. - Sure.

My old man's heart beats faster when he drinks coffee.

He can't drink it.

Don't you know the state we're in? How could you be laughing now?

What do you mean? You liked your breakfast.

You little runt.

Come with him.

You can't do this.

- Thank you for the coffee. - That wasn't for you.

- Nice. - It hurts.

- Yoon Soo Yeon is back? - Yes.

She'll start tomorrow.

Good.

I'll be on call less during weekends now.

Do you know how terrible it is to stay at the hospital on weekends?

You come here.

How will you surpass Yoon Soo Yeon and be promoted to a professor?

Are you talented? Or do you have connections?

That's what you meant?

You little punk.

How did you even get through med school?

How did you get in?

I'm book-smart at least.

Thanks to someone, I'm just bad at surgeries.

- What? - You take responsibility for this.

You said you'd make me a professor as long as I got in here.

You have to be at least decent.

Do you know how many I lost because of you?

I told you so. I wanted to live a comfortable life...

while working as a dermatologist.

And you think you'd be a decent dermatologist? With your skillset?

Switch your major to lung.

What? What are you talking about?

Next year, Professor Heo will retire.

You will need to get that spot.

I just started getting the hang of the heart.

You want me to study the lung now?

When will I finish then?

What choice do we have?

We thought she wouldn't come back, but she did!

Do you think you could be a professor at another hospital?

Will any hospital give you the job?

I don't know. You take care of this.

She went to a nice hospital. She should've stayed there.

Why did she come back?

Where are you going?

I have surgery.

You think you can perform surgery when it's a mess out here?

And don't grab me by the ears in front of other people.

(Hospital Chief)

Yes, Hospital Chief Yoon. What is this about?

Come clean this up!

Clean up what?

What?

I'm not sure if that's possible.

(Hospital Chief Yoon Hyun Il)

- Hey! - Let go of me.

- Hurry. - Hurry up, and kick it.

- Hello. - Hey, go catch it.

Give it back, please.

Thank you.

Daddy!

Are you going to manage Cardiothoracic Surgery like this?

I'm sorry, Chief.

I'll make sure this never happens.

I'm sorry.

Do you think an apology can end this?

I will face the disciplinary action for working at another hospital.

However, I had no choice but to use the glue, sir.

Dr. Park!

How dare you talk back to him?

You had no choice but to use it?

Then will you use it again if need be?

Do you think the patient and guardians will understand?

Will you shove the thesis paper that other doctors used it every time?

Don't you think the kind of hospital we are?

What kind of hospital is Taesan?

Is it a hospital that kicks out patients like water?

Are you crazy?

I'll face the disciplinary hearing.

Do you think it can be held for a lowly fellow like you?

If you fire doctors whenever guardians throw a fit,

there won't be any more doctors left.

Hey, you. Have you lost your mind?

How dare you?

I worked here for four years.

I can't leave like this.

Haewon University.

- Did you pick him? - Yes.

No.

Professor Choi Seok Han begged me to since he's an alum,

- so I had no choice. - Fire him, immediately.

This is what happens when you hire a nobody.

Yes, sir.

Choi Seok Han.

He picked someone just like him.

(Park Tae Soo)

- Be gentle. - Okay. One more time.

That stings.

Who did this? A family member flipped out again, right?

It wasn't me this time.

He threatened to strike in the hospital lobby,

and I barely got rid of him.

Where did he find someone like that?

He looked like he had quite the temper.

You've had a rough day, Chief.

You looked like you were going to lay one on me.

I'm sorry, Chief.

The hospital director wants me to fire you right away.

Do you want to leave now?

So why did you do something so stupid?

Do you think I want you to go?

Who would perform Dong Joon's surgeries?

What will you do now?

Should we say we won't renew your contract?

Chief.

I need to tell the director something.

Your contract is up in a month anyway.

Your mother should be able to get a heart transplant by then.

You've helped Dong Joon for the past four years.

This is all I can do for you.

You just focus on your mother's transplant.

She should enjoy the benefit of making her son a doctor.

Mom.

(24 years ago)

What will Tae Soo do now?

What else? His mom will have to take him.

Is she insane? She wouldn't raise him.

Where else would he go?

His dad died, but not a single person came.

He'll end up in an orphanage or something.

Just drink, unless you're going to raise him yourself.

This is the last one, okay? Drink this and go.

But we can't catch anything.

Is that my fault? Why are you giving me an attitude?

Here's another one drinking in broad daylight.

Aren't you going?

- Where? - Where else?

I'm so happy that the jerk died.

Still, you used to live together.

You call that living together?

He used to punch and break everything whenever he drank.

I'm so sick of him.

What about Tae Soo?

Tae Soo?

Why are you asking me? Did I give birth to him?

Now that his dad's dead, he should find his own way to survive.

What? Am I wrong?

Hi, Tae Soo. Did you eat?

You heard, right? You know what to do, right?

Tae Soo, eat before you go.

Why are you taking it out on a kid? What did he do wrong?

He isn't blameless!

It's his fault he had a horrible father!

Who are you looking for? No one's coming.

Ms. Oh, you should go in and sleep.

Your dad...

would jump out of his coffin...

if he smelled soju.

I like it here.

Want some?

I'm in junior high.

So? Can't junior high students drink alcohol?

If you don't drink on a day like this, when would you?

Fine.

You'll get sick if you drink on an empty stomach.

I'm already sick.

Eat. You didn't eat all day, did you?

Go on.

Sit down and eat.

Eat slowly. You'll get sick.

You and I are both so unlucky.

How could our lives stink so much?

(Episode 8 will air shortly.)

(Episode 8)

How long has your husband been dead, that you're looking for another one?

If I catch you again, I'll set this place on fire.

Got that?

What are you staring at? This isn't the first time.

Go eat.

You're not going to school?

Your teacher called.

I get it. Your mother works at a bar.

You must be so embarrassed to even study.

I'm not embarrassed.

I'm embarrassed of you.

Your teacher said I should make you study...

and get you private lessons too.

Do you want to?

Should I get someone?

I don't care what you become.

Just don't turn out like your dad.

I'll do it.

I'll study.

Go ahead,

and study.

(Flower Carriage)

(Ilmi's Sashimi Restaurant)

- Your food is here. - Hi.

- Goodness. - Give me a hand, please.

Gosh, thank you.

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

- Sure. - Let's eat.

What is it? Do I look weird?

I don't know what you'll become when you grow up.

But a mother can't work at a bar and sell drinks and smiles.

That's not right.

Go eat your meal.

Mom.

What?

Thank you.

Sure.

Okay.

Mom!

I'll make sure I become a doctor.

Why a doctor?

Doctors...

are respected.

They make a lot of money too.

Sure.

I'd love to have a doctor son.

That's a promise.

Okay.

Mom.

Your doctor son is right here.

Give me a bit more time.

I'll get you a new heart...

and put it in you.

(Taesan University Hospital)

I found out what the Hospital Director had found out.

Gosh, Hospital Director Yoon.

How petty. Where did he find this?

(Report of Settlement Accounts for Hospitals in Africa)

I trusted him that it was for a good cause.

Up until he built hospitals in Africa.

But he stashed the fund someplace else.

People always change their minds.

Will Uncle Hyun Il leave willingly?

He's not the one to back down from a fight.

We must make it so.

- The board meeting is impending. - Yes.

Yes, I'll make him resign at the meeting.

Do you think I can do a good job?

- I think you should come back... - Soo Yeon.

No one would follow...

or listen to a surgeon who can't perform surgeries.

Dad.

It will be hard at first.

You'll do a good job.

Okay.

Right. The patient I brought in woke up.

His post-op is good too.

Before coming to our hospital, our fellow took care of the patient.

Was the patient in serious condition to use the glue?

How did you know?

The guardian filed a complaint.

What happened then?

I heard that it was wrapped up...

that we wouldn't renew his contract.

If he didn't use the glue, the patient would've died.

- Hello. - Hello.

Do you know how good Taesan Hospital smells?

Pardon?

The thought that I wouldn't be able to smell this...

would make me very sad.

You would always be able to smell the hospital, Chief Yoon.

- You think so too, right? - Yes.

This way, sir.

- How do you feel? - Hello.

I'm feeling much better.

It's his day three after PCI.

The infection level is showing good signs.

His X-ray came back normal too.

We'll run a test one more time this afternoon...

and discharge you.

- Gosh, thank you. - You can go home now.

How is the food?

This is very delicious.

Do you want to try some?

- Excuse me. If you do that... - Should I try it too?

You can do that.

It is delicious.

- Food here is good. - I see.

Although our Hospital Chief sees outpatients,

he's also paying extra attention to the meal plan for patients.

How could our hospital chief be this nice?

Thank you.

What a show.

Starting now, schedule my rounds before or after the mealtime.

Yes, sir.

- Did you get that? - Yes.

You heard that, right?

Gosh, it's a legion.

How many physicians are there?

- 1, 2, 3, 4... - Goodness.

Since when did the number of doctors affect in saving patients?

Do 5 or 6 doctors scrub in for surgeries?

Isn't it terrible that I'm the only doctor majoring in CS at Taesan?

You're not the only one. What about Min Woo?

He ran away a long time ago.

- How many times has he run? - This is his second time.

Then he should be back soon. Let's wait for him.

You need to run away five times to become a cardiothoracic surgeon.

Tae Soo.

My dad is bad-tempered, but he's not a bad person.

I know.

I'm fine.

Irrigation.

What will I do when you're gone?

I still haven't mastered mammaries yet.

(Internal mammary artery)

I can't ask Yoon Soo Yeon to help me.

Until when will you do that?

You know...

I'm trying.

Until when will you stand there and watch?

- What? - If you just stand there,

you won't ever learn it yourself.

Starting tomorrow, you should take this side.

- I'll help you. - What? Okay.

Thank you.

Does Professor Choi know that Dr. Park is resigning?

What can he do even if he knows? He has no power.

I heard that this is Dr. Park's last month.

They're really not going to renew his contract?

A guardian visited Hospital Chief Yoon and made a complaint,

And he beat up our chief.

By the way, why did Dr. Park have a part-time job?

Our hospital doesn't allow that.

It's probably because of his mother's medical bills.

Fellows get paid less than residents in his specialty.

If he leaves like this,

no hospital will take him.

Isn't there a way? He should at least fight.

It's for the best.

If a doctor can save a life,

he can use super glue or anything possible.

Why should he stay at a hospital that can't cover him for that?

We should do something about this stupid hospital.

- When? - What?

I've heard you say that 79 times, so when?

Just wait. When I become the hospital director...

Then Chief of Anesthesiology...

- Sure. - Enjoy your lunch.

I'll go now, then.

Just eat. You've never even gone there before.

Shall I? Shall I just enjoy my food?

I built all of this.

They think they can...

Soo Yeon!

You must be tired from the trip.

I've missed you, Uncle.

I've missed you as well. Let me get a look at you.

Aren't you tired from working right away?

I'm fine.

Sit down.

- Please, sit. - Sure, I will.

I wonder if I shouldn't have come.

No, I'm glad you did.

The fellow in Cardiothoracic Surgery is quitting soon, anyway.

Because of the glue?

Do you know the patient too?

I bought that glue.

I think it was right to use it in that situation.

Are you saying you were there too?

Yes.

- So Dr. Park Tae Soo... - Then you also...

must leave Taesan.

I can't do that just to the fellow.

You may be my niece, but I can't do that.

What do you mean?

If that's the rule, I should leave as well.

Soo Yeon.

If saving a life means we must leave the hospital.

I was just kidding! Why are you two so serious?

That fellow was going to be kicked out soon regardless,

so don't worry about it.

Why am I not doing anything?

You could find a way to help...

Dr. Park.

Me? When the director's daughter can't even do it?

If he needed help, he would've asked.

I heard.

I'm sorry.

Let's grab a drink.

Yes, Professor.

- Dr. Park. - What will you say?

It's unfair for him to leave like this.

- I'll talk to my father... - Unfair?

Do you know what unfair means?

You probably never experienced it.

If I didn't experience it, can I not do anything?

Dr. Park made a choice and is taking responsibility for it.

Then how must I take responsibility?

You said there will come a time when I must take responsibility.

[Kocowa Ver] SBS E08 Heart Surgeons "The Hospital Smells Great" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

I'm sorry.

It was my choice. Both the moonlighting and the glue.

You were against it.

I was the one operating. You were just helping me.

I'll talk to my uncle again. There must be a way.

Didn't you also say...

I don't belong at Taesan?

Once my mother gets her transplant, I'm leaving.

What is this?

I'm sure you know as well.

You're my little brother.

This?

Make a decision before the board meeting on Monday.

About what?

Let's finish it quietly before the board meeting.

I'm doing this for you.

Since when did you care about me?

You cared so much about me,

that you brought in Choi Seok Han back then,

so you wouldn't lose your position as director?

- Hyun Il. - I'm sure he knows...

why Taesan hired someone whose life was in the gutter...

after his daughter died and his wife divorced him!

(2003 Taesan Hospital, Gangreung Branch)

Dr. Choi, you're still in here?

My gosh.

The living must go on.

Wake up. You have a guest.

Dr. Choi. It's me, Yoon Hyun Mok.

Dr. Choi. I'm sorry.

I didn't know that would happen...

to Yoo Bin.

Why are you here?

I don't know if it's right of me to come to you like this.

I read your article.

May I...

ask you to do this surgery?

The title of director of the medical center is on the line.

It started last year.

I can't do anything with this hand anymore.

That's why Soo Yeon's surgery...

I know it's utterly wrong of me to ask you to do this,

but I have no other option.

Why me?

If I ask anyone else to do it,

my brother will find out.

I'm sorry.

I'll do it.

I'll operate.

Do you mean it?

But I have a favor to ask.

I want to go to the main hospital.

- The main hospital? - Yes.

I can't find out why Yoo Bin died here.

It's too small a hospital. There are no similar cases.

I want to go to the main hospital and figure out...

why Yoo Bin died.

I'm back, so use me.

Don't just push me away.

I'll use the fact that I'm the director's daughter to help you.

There's something you want to do after the board meeting next week?

Yes, Dad.

Is it about that fellow?

I guess so.

Taesan needs him.

I understand how you feel,

but it's true that he broke the hospital's rules.

Are the hospital's rules...

more important than saving lives to you, too?

At times.

Yes, he saved a life.

That's great.

However, if all the doctors here don't follow the rules,

what will happen to our hospital?

Soo Yeon, you'll know once you experience it.

Treating patients...

and managing a hospital is very different.

Regarding this matter, your uncle made the right decision.

I need to get going. I have a lunch meeting.

Dr. Park was right.

If we can't save a patient right in front of us,

who will we save then?

That's not the hospital I have in mind, Dad.

Chief.

Hold on. Who is this?

Dr. Yoon Soo Yeon?

Have you been well?

How could I have been well without you here?

Chief Koo, do you mean that?

Of course, I do. What are you implying?

I've been waiting for Dr. Yoon to come back.

I don't think so.

Chief, have some donuts. Dr. Yoon bought these.

Is that so? I must have one. Dr. Yoon bought these for us.

This one looks delicious. Is this a leftover?

- Yes. - Okay.

Dad, you can't have coffee.

- Take a seat. - Okay.

When will you start operating?

When should I start?

We welcome you anytime.

What is it?

Why are you looking at me?

You've been working so hard alone. That's why I'm looking at you.

I don't think so.

Then what?

Professor Son and Seung Jae will be done with their surgery soon.

I'll put these away for them.

Yes, Professor.

Hold on.

Dr. Yoon, Professor Choi is asking if you can scrub in...

for an afternoon surgery.

Yes, I'll get ready.

She said she can.

Okay.

What kind of surgery is it?

It's a double-valve replacement for a 58-year-old patient's...

atrioventricular valve and mitral valve.

It will be difficult. His heart is big.

I'm sorry. The procedure took longer than I thought.

Thank you. I know you're busy.

That's all right. Park Tae Soos should help one another.

I heard that's my nickname from Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Lady Park Tae Soo.

- I'm sorry. - That's all right.

It's better that I'm not Lady Koo Dong Joon.

The cardiac function is still low.

I think it's about 25 percent.

It'd be nice if she improves a bit and is off ECMO.

She hasn't been on ECMO for long.

Let's wait and see.

Did she wake up?

She's not on sleeping pills,

but she hasn't woken up yet.

Professor Choi is still the attending physician, right?

Yes.

I feel relieved if Professor Choi is her doctor.

I'm sure your mother will have a donor soon.

Thank you.

Woo Jin.

Hey, are you really resigning?

Let's talk later. What about the patient?

What? Okay.

At first, he came in because he wasn't feeling well.

I think he came here because other hospitals won't take him.

Look at this.

Hey, this is a Type A, aortic dissection.

There's a lot of people in the pericardium.

He needs surgery now.

Don't do it.

- What? - There's more.

(Park Tae Soo)

Yes, Dr. Park?

Professor Choi, a 66-year-old male came to the ER...

showing some chest pain.

According to the CT scan, it's a Type A, aortic dissection...

with hemopericardium.

Book an OR now.

I can perform the surgery in three hours.

Okay, Professor Choi. By the way, this patient is...

going through chemotherapy for the late-stage lung cancer.

I think he came in since other hospitals won't operate on.

I sent you his medical charts. Please look over them.

If he's going through chemo to ease the pain,

I don't think his body can handle this surgery.

The patient's whole body is too weak.

I see the cancer spread even to his aorta from the CT scan.

Surgery would be riskier.

Because of the radiation, it's stuck.

It might explode when we try to open him up.

It's highly likely that he might end up dead on the operating table.

I sufficiently explained it to him,

but he said you would perform the surgery for him.

What?

Do I know the patient?

Professor Choi, this way.

Dr. Choi.

- Long time no see. - It's been a while.

Professor Han.

Do the surgery for me.

Other hospitals won't perform it.

I thought you would be able to save me.

As you know, your body won't be able to last this surgery.

That's why I came to you.

His BP is high. Lower it to 120.

- Lower his pain level too. - Okay.

Controlling it with medication is your best option.

Everyone is saying the same thing.

Do you just want me to die like this?

Can't you do the surgery?

Is there any other way?

I'm sorry.

After Yoo Bin died,

did you find it?

You came here because of that.

Do you remember?

Seeing how you're still here,
