Original subtitles

I'm still here.

Inside the body of your cousin whom you love dearly.

Yes, you're correct.

I'm Cha Young-min.

What? Are you shocked that I revealed myself?

Are you upset?

How dare you sabotage an operation I performed!

You take a person's life that lightly?

How is this possible?

It doesn't matter how I'm here.

Now that you know, what will you do?

Go tell everyone that I became a ghost.

You'll be called insane.

Doesn't matter to me. I'm already a ghost. But what about you?

Aren't you pushed into a corner?

Do a quick calculation.

You're a calculating person. You plotted with Jang Min-ho before.

I'm not an idiot.

How could I when Dr. Cha

is our star surgeon who brings in the money?

Then figure out how much more I owe you.

Tell me when you're done.

You said you weren't an idiot.

You told Jang I brought in the money.

So…

you better not do any harm to me.

When I wake up from my coma, I'll make money again.

And I'm warning you.

If you ever tamper with my patients again…

You already committed numerous crimes, haven't you?

So stop committing more. Stay out of trouble…

until the day I come for you.

Are you crazy? Why did you reveal that?

I didn't want to reveal it but I lost my temper.

I lost control. But he seemed to already knew it was me.

We got found out.

But you should've denied it. Use your common sense.

Do you have anger management issues? What were you thinking?

But they…

They used Dr. Jang to rile me up.

What can I do about it now? Should I take it all back?

-That I was faking it? -Do you think that'll work?

Hey.

I'm sorry. I put on a great performance though.

So how do you expect him to react?

It's hard to tell. I think I scared him pretty good.

Any sane person would be scared.

He knew the conversation I had with Jang Min-ho.

Only the two of us were there,

but he knew everything I said.

Dr. Cha was watching us.

He really said that?

He said he was Dr. Cha?

You think I'm kidding? I've said it again and again.

If this is true then Dr. Cha knows everything we did.

Who would he have the biggest grudge against?

Me? No, not me.

It would be you. He was your mentor, but you betrayed him.

How is this possible? He's in a coma and not even dead yet.

Why did he have to possess my cousin?

They weren't even on good terms.

What are you going to do?

Don't ask me!

Maybe he's behind you now.

He must be terrified.

Anyway, he won't be able to make any moves.

I scared the daylight out of him.

That's just great.

I did a number on him.

And was the operation a success?

Of course. I didn't let them distract me.

All right then. It's spilled milk.

Let's not stress over it.

You just finished a tough operation. Don't let that deflate you.

Just focus on the patient's recovery. And see to it that he wakes up.

Mr. Han seemed to know that you can see ghosts.

He said you had a condition before.

Where you saw things.

So he knows.

I had a hunch.

I guess that's how he found out and believed you were in me.

Tell me

how it happened to you.

Or is it too personal?

I had a scary incident.

It was terrifying.

Because I was just eight at the time.

I almost died in an accident, but lived.

After that, I could see ghosts.

It took me a while to realize they were ghosts though.

It was scary,

but I kept getting closer and coming to the hospital.

To check if I could actually see them or not.

I was hoping I wouldn't see them.

When I would see one, I'd run away.

I dreaded living like that for the rest of my life.

I even thought of suicide.

I had all sorts of thoughts.

But I eventually came back because I wanted to live.

I controlled my fear.

I practiced pretending I couldn't see them.

This is no fun.

After ten years of practice, I thought I had overcome it.

But there was one thing I couldn't overcome.

Now pay attention.

Seung-tak, incision.

Would it hurt…

if you cut me with that?

Hey, Seung-tak!

I don't want to do it.

-Where are you going? -What?

I couldn’t do it.

Even though I couldn't do it myself, I could let you instead.

I thought it was swell.

Though it wasn't me,

I was contributing in a way.

If I wake up,

you have four more years of residency. What will you do?

On top of that, Mr. Han knows about us.

I'm not going to work as a doctor for long anyway.

So let's work harder to get this over with.

You can handle these operations after you wake up.

And I'll let you borrow my body until then.

I heard the rumors.

But I didn't expect a first-year resident to do that well.

Young-min, were you aware of Dr. Koh's astounding skills?

Is…

Is it even possible?

In a previous cardiac sarcoma operation,

Dr. Cha accidentally touched the cannula and the air got in.

The patient's blood pressure dropped. We almost lost him.

What? When did I do that?

Dr. Cha.

Is Dr. Cha showing any signs of improvement?

Mind your manners. Say hello first.

You ask that several times a day.

Like I said before, no signs so far.

But the patient recovered nicely.

Is it because of stress?

Sorry for causing you stress.

I didn’t know you were operating.

What?

You came to observe my operation.

Say you're sorry. I yelled at her.

Why should I?

I usually don't do that.

I'm sorry for yelling at you.

That's all right.

But I'm puzzled about what was going on.

What?

Hey, just tell her you were kidding around.

And then let's leave. Don’t forget to say bye.

I was kidding around. I'll say bye now.

How did you know about that?

What?

What is it now?

Even Bo-mi's primary care doctor and her mother

didn't know about her nosebleed.

That's…

I heard it from her.

Are you kidding…

I think it came to me in a dream.

How do you know the patient?

It doesn't seem like you're friends.

She's a friend of a friend.

Good answer.

He's quick on his feet.

Why did you come and observe my surgery?

Mr. Han asked me to bring my contract extension.

I was going to only stay for a bit but I needed to stay longer.

Will you go back after that contract expires?

I don't know.

I haven't decided yet.

He scared me. What is he doing there?

Is it Seung-tak or Dr. Cha?

What was that? Why did she suddenly ask so many questions?

She says she extended her contract. So we bought more time.

Wake up from your coma before then and ask her to stay.

So what happened in the operating room?

You said you were kidding around.

But nobody does that during surgery.

Yes. I'm coming.

Nothing out of the normal happened to the patient during surgery.

What if I were to pull these tubes?

I've got a lot of questions.

And the biggest question I have is…

why the heck would you do this?

What for?

EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

The morning sun is so nice today.

Hey Seung-tak.

Hi. Good morning, Crystal.

What the?

Where is he going in a hurry?

Did something happen?

The doctors are praising Seung-tak so much.

His skills are improving at a remarkable rate.

There's even a rumor that he's possessed by a spirit.

They say he's possessed?

He's a miracle worker?

Is he going to become famous?

You and Dr. Cha weren't on good terms.

Did he blackmail you? Or did you cut a deal?

What did you promise him?

How about we make a deal?

If you repent what you did before Dr. Cha wakes up,

I'll consider forgiving you.

I don't want you to be charged with a crime.

You're my cousin.

Is that why you didn't uncover everything?

Will Dr. Cha expose the rest of it when he wakes up?

We'll have to see what happens.

What if Dr. Cha dies?

We'll see when that happens, right?

Dr. Koh? Why are you here early in the morning?

I came to check on Dr. Cha.

And say hello.

Where is Dr. Jang?

She had surgery scheduled.

It probably began.

Yes, I forgot.

Just a minute.

After you get well after the operation,

finish your thesis, okay?

Your peers already defended their theses and got their Ph.D. degrees.

But it's okay.

You'll catch up in no time.

You can do it since you're my daughter.

Please recover. I'll help you.

Just get better.

Let's go.

Gosh. Why are you getting sad?

The doctor says you'll wake up if it goes well.

So don't dwell on that complicated stuff. Focus on waking up.

All right, let's not stay here. Come on.

Let's go, too.

Yes, she's in the operating unit.

It'll take an hour or two. We'll have to see.

We don't need a long farewell.

Let's…

part ways here.

Take care.

Good luck.

Did he have to do that?

Try to understand him. You know how it is.

If the operation goes well, your spirit can enter your body.

He doesn't want to see you suddenly disappear.

You stay right here, okay?

You know why, right?

And wake up no matter what.

Female, 29. Rule-out meningitis. Right EVD procedure.

The expected duration is less than an hour.

I'll need a drill and catheter. Are we clear?

-Yes. -Then we'll begin.

Scalpel.

Are you here to see the patient or Dr. Jang?

Both.

What about you?

Me? What is it?

Look at you.

I'm always the one to clean up the mess you make.

I created a mess? What kind? What did I do?

Because of you, I skip my meals and get woken up in my sleep.

Doctor.

What are you doing here?

Who were you talking to?

What? Was I?

With who?

There's no one here.

Who were you talking to?

I wasn't talking to anyone.

But what brings you here?

You're not supposed to be walking around already.

Come on. Follow me.

Why is it so quiet?

Can't be the calm before a storm.

Let's go.

Keep an eye on your patients.

What?

Seung-jo, you went out?

Hey, I told you to stay inside.

Hurry inside. Your mom is probably looking for you.

Okay, Doctor.

Hey, don't run.

Gosh. He doesn't listen.

Anything happen?

Any strange rumors going around?

A rumor? Like what?

I mean the staff talks about me all the time.

Seung-tak.

I don't care if you're possessed or an alien.

So let's ride this wave. Until the end.

What?

Well, you see…

I gave it some thought, and I think you're protecting me.

From evil beings.

So let's see this to the end.

See what to the end?

Go alone and don't come back.

Maybe I should've said zombie instead of alien.

-Did her spirit enter? -Yes, she's inside.

It's wonderful.

It's great, right?

Good for her.

What is?

Why are you so frightened? You've never seen a ghost?

I thought you returned to your body.

They inserted a tube into my head.

So now they'll be able to inject antibiotics directly into me

and monitor my condition.

If it works, they expect me to wake up soon.

Based on the look on the doctor's face, I think the procedure went well.

It's just the beginning so let's temper our expectations.

That's what Dr. Cha told me.

It seemed like she didn't know what was happening.

I was merely doing my duty as a doctor.

What about before? What's come over you? This is awkward.

Don't be like that. He found a way to treat Bo-mi.

And that led to this surgery.

I should've thanked you sooner.

Thank you for finding a way to cure me.

Gosh, Doctor.

What's the hurry? You came right after the operation.

You'll wear yourself out.

Nurse Min and I will take turns caring for him, so take a break for a day.

Go out and get some fresh air. You need sunlight.

Don't you feel stuffy?

There's fresh air coming in and this room gets sunlight.

This will do.

He's been here for months too.

I haven't been outside in a long time.

Nobody asked you.

You're putting on airs now that you've helped her.

Come on. We don't own this spot either.

I know. It's nice to be out here together.

The sun is so warm today.

I'm also in a good mood.

People need to go out and get sunshine.

It's why we rolled out the Sunshine Policy.

Sunshine Policy?

Did you wake up already?

You're talking like you're alive.

You're laughing?

Of course, I know that.

I was just cracking a joke.

You're senior doctors but resort to using a first-year resident

to boost your surgery rates since you lack the skills.

This is no different from switching doctors.

Are you aware of that?

Gosh. That's not true.

All of us were the lead surgeons during our operations.

We received a little help from him as our first assistant.

We did nothing wrong according to the Medical Act.

I saw one case where the lead surgeon

was not present during the operation and the resident did it all by himself.

The aortic aneurysm case?

Well, I can explain what happened.

I was racing to the hospital as fast as I could.

Then the patient's condition became critical.

I think you all agreed to keep this under the wraps.

But I'm not allowing this anymore since I now know.

This could become a big problem.

All of you

may be summoned by the disciplinary committee.

I came again, Doctor.

What are you going to ask this time?

I was asked to stay here starting right now

until the evening and look after Dr. Cha.

You were asked to do what?

Hello, Dr. Jang.

Seung-tak just asked me to check on Dr. Cha

every other hour.

Doctor!

Doctor, it's me, Jae-won.

I'm sorry for not coming often. I heard you're improving a little.

You'll wake up soon, right? You must wake up.

Oh my.

Doctor, so you're taking the afternoon off, right?

That's great. You should go now. Hurry.

I am?

The afternoon?

Why don't you take the afternoon off and go somewhere?

It's autumn. The weather is nice outside.

Thanks for the thought. It's not necessary though.

-I don't have anywhere to go. -But there is.

This singer is holding a concert.

Dr. Cha is a big fan of hers.

He's a fan?

Dr. Cha likes a singer?

It's a surprise, isn't it?

You should've seen it.

She was Dr. Cha's patient before she became a singer.

She came for a reoperation and asked me to give the ticket to Dr. Cha.

It's a long story, but the summary is…

I think Dr. Cha would be happy

if you went in his place.

You said you enjoyed watching her taped concerts.

Wouldn't it be twice as good to watch her live?

We don't have much time, so let's make some progress.

Well, I'll get to that.

But how can I go?

You're not thinking of…

I guess this is why I dressed up today.

Be careful when you're in my body. This shirt is a special edition.

Don't put your hands in the pockets. It'll ruin the fit.

And none of this. No waving light sticks.

If you do that, it's over between us.

What a surprise.

It's right for me to be surprised, but why are you surprised?

I'm surprised because…

I didn't expect you to actually come.

You said I shouldn’t miss it.

How ironic.

I was also asked to not miss this concert.

So Jessica…

No, I mean.

Her actual name is Lee Ji-woo.

I'm her primary care physician.

So I came in case she has a medical emergency.

I have something to tell you all.

I recently had open-heart surgery.

My doctor told me I shouldn't perform

for a while.

So today, I'll perform while sitting.

Please understand.

I haven't been outside for a while. It's nice.

This street is pretty.

Being a heart surgeon is hard, isn't it?

When I was an intern, I practically lived in the hospital.

That's how it was back then.

Well, it was like that for us.

Nowadays, doctors choose easier fields.

Can I ask you why you chose cardiology?

I made a promise to a girl.

I would be a heart surgeon, and she would be a brain surgeon.

Young-min, let's live together one day.

And let's set up our own clinic.

You'll be a heart surgeon, and I'll be a neurosurgeon.

What do you think? Marvelous, right?

She wanted to set up a clinic with me after we started living together.

You didn't have dinner, right?

No thanks.

I need to return to the hospital.

But we should eat before heading back.

It's all right. I don't have an appetite.

Instead of dinner, have something else.

Why isn't he answering his phone?

He's nowhere around. I'm getting worried.

What? Seung-tak…

Why is she with him?

What's that look on his face?

ER

Thanks to you, I had a good time.

Me, too.

Bye.

It was a nice date, right?

Did you collect some happy hormones?

I did, thanks to you.

I'm helping people out so much. It's very rewarding.

-What the? -You said you'd help them.

You promised to buy the walnut snack.

When will you do a favor for me?

Favor?

Do another one. I want a bag of walnut snacks.

Yes, sure. The next favor is buying walnut snacks.

I just said that out of pressure.

A promise is a promise.

I took care of it while I was in your body.

To save you the effort.

You used my body anyhow.

Yes, Brother.

Seung-tak, we've got trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Did Dr. Cha's condition change?

Seung-jo disappeared. He shouldn't be running around.

You scared me there. He's probably hiding somewhere.

Seung-jo?

Did you look for him near the lounge?

I'll look for him.

Sorry for going there alone.

Next time, let's go together.

The two of us.

By the way…

Dr. Koh said

you would like this.

He knows

quite a lot about you.

He is a lot like you.

I hope he becomes a doctor when he grows up.

Then he'll deal with patients like himself too.

Yes. And be a cardiologist.

Seung-jo.

Do you know how late it is? You're supposed to be in bed by nine.

Come on. I'll take you back.

Doctor!

You came to see me?

Seung-jo. You're…

Hey, kid. Open your eyes.

What the? What's happening?

I was told to check this area. I found this kid on the floor.

You came alone? Where's Dr. Cha?

Hey, you know? Let's help the kid first.

Is he next to you? Dr. Cha!

What? Yes.

He's here, I see. Switch places. Now.

He's back.

Tracheal intubation first. Check if he's conscious.

What? Okay.

Since when did you know?

Probably around the time you knew.

You knew from the start?

Then why did you say anything? Why did you pretend not to know?

You never told me about Dr. Cha's spirit entering your body, did you?

I've heard this somewhere.

But how…

You made things so obvious.

Is he around?

Dr. Cha?

Can she see me, too?

Could you stop calling me, "Intern?"

You're the only doctor who calls me that.

Seung-tak calls me Crystal.

You should be on the same page on things like these.

Who calls an intern, "Intern?"

What's going on?

And when you do a surgery, please don't do this.

Seems like it's your habit, Dr. Cha. Are you trying to show everyone it's you?

What? You've been twisting your wrists all along?

It's my habit. I do it for good luck and not to be jinxed.

I'm surprised nobody found out yet.

Straighten out the act between you two, okay?

And I'll act like I always do. I'll cooperate.

Why are you wearing a suit?

I went to an event.

-What event? -A Jessica concert.

A concert? With whom?

With Dr. Jang.

-Why did you go with her? -It's a long story.

That's not that important.

You seem to have a lot of time. You even go on dates now.

Splendid.

How could she believe all of that?

Even though I slipped up, how could she?

She's not an ordinary girl.

Did I make it too obvious?

Hey!

Is it tasty?

Not that good? How is it not good? Give me details.

It's all right.

It's all right? That's hard to believe.

Isn't it too sweet?

Isn't the dough too dry?

By the way,

who bought this?

What was it like there? Is it a good location?

Were there lots of people?

Were there customers?

I don't know about the location but there were many people.

I didn't see

a lot of customers.

Would you like to try one? Check it out.

I don't like street food.

He's pretty blunt.

The two of you rushed to treat the kid but it seems like you couldn't cure him.

They're glaring at me openly. Both of them.

They found out?

You held out pretty long.

Why weren't you careful?

You've been around my hospital for a long time.

I think you should be paying rent.

You used to be a little kid.

Now you're all grown up.

Time flies.

You didn't have anywhere to go

until I got this big. I could find you a place.

Look at you getting fresh.

You used to be a nice kid. What happened?

You haven't changed at all since I saw you as a kid.

I guess you're very old now.

But why haven't you left this place?

Most of the spirits disappear once they die.

Now you ask?

You finally ask me 20 years later?

Everyone has a personal history.

A history that you keep to yourself.

I saw you

when I was a little boy.

You knew I could see you.

But why did you just pass me by?

For 20 years.

Well, that's because…

you were pretending you couldn't see me.

Why should I acknowledge you?

I like that attitude.

I must go. I've got a situation to handle.

I'll see you around.

That little kid

grew up into a fine man.

Where is Seung-jo?

Our ghost friends are looking after him.

He can't see his mom like that.

Did you talk to him?

Yes, we talked.

Why did I miss that?

You've been coming to the hospital

and Tess has been here for 20 years. He already knew you.

He won't stay in a coma, will he?

No way.

I'm going to cure him.

Jae-won will do a head MRI and a heart CT scan on him this morning.

You should get some sleep. I'll watch over Seung-jo.

I don't care he went there,

but why did Dr. Jang also go with him?

Is the Neurology Department not busy?

Even I don't have time for that.

Could they have

developed feelings for each other? No way.

What am I talking about?

Mom, I'm back.

Why are you always late? You get off at six sharp.

I hung out with some friends after work.

I'm tired after meeting them.

Hello there, baby.

What kind of name is that?

Who calls a pet flying squirrel, "baby?"

I think it's an affectionate name.

I guess it is.

His pet squirrel is no baby when it comes to mealtime.

But why isn't he coming for his pet?

He asked you to look after it for a few days.

He'll come soon.

He's been busy lately.

Hey, Soo-jung.

My eyes have been bothering me lately. Could you check my eyes?

You want me to check?

Aren't you an ophthalmology intern? You can't?

Yes. Let me see.

Are you getting along with the senior doctors?

Ophthalmology is a competitive field. You have to make a good impression.

Then you can become a resident.

Of course, I'm getting along.

I think the air is dry here. Your eyes are dry.

It doesn't take an expert to see that.

Are you sure you're in ophthalmology?

Of course. I'm in ophthalmology. I'm an intern there.

You're acting suspiciously.

You're not an intern in ER, cardiology, or neurology, are you?

Why would I intern there? It's too tough.

You promised me.

It's either the eyes, the ears, the nose, the throat, or the skin.

If not, I won't let you become a doctor.

I'm not letting you follow in your grandpa's footsteps.

I know.

Mom. Let me examine your eye again.

EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

-Got some sleep? -Yes.

How is Seung-jo?

No improvement so far.

Who is his primary care physician?

Dr. Han.

What's the cause?

I found it.

He's been running around a lot.

After receiving a right ventricular catheter and CABG,

the patient ran a lot after recovering,

causing the catheter to apply pressure on the arteries.

A decrease in coronary blood circulation caused a heart condition.

Luckily, we were able to quickly administer CPR on the patient.

The patient's heart returned to normal, but he remains in a coma.

MRI scan shows no brain damage. We'll have to monitor the patient.

The problem is the ventricular catheter.

There.

In the heart scan taken this morning…

You see this area between the arteries and the right ventricle.

There should be some space here.

Due to his running, the increased blood flow caused a blockage.

You were analyzing this while I was asleep?

You think I was slacking off?

Focus. Here's the solution.

You have to widen the space.

So you'll have to move the ventricular catheter to this point.

So we need to operate on him as soon as possible

to move the ventricular catheter.

Dr. Han, let's do the operation today.

What?

I have a full schedule of surgeries today. I can't.

Then is there another doctor available?

I'll be the first assistant. It won't be hard for you.

Why are they acting differently?

Dr. Ban?

Me?

Well, in this case, it's a young child. And he had a diseased coronary artery.

A reoperation so soon could be risky.

Honestly speaking, the patient hasn't woken up yet.

It wouldn't be too late to hold the reoperation

after we check his mental state. Let's wait a few more days.

The lead surgeon, Mr. Han should handle it.

Because Dr. Ahn is not available, we should wait.

Don't forget

that I took over the surgeries Dr. Ahn was supposed to do.

Well, speaking of which.

Regarding the esophageal cancer operation, you don't need to do it.

Young-shik will be my first assistant for the CABG surgery next week.

Yes. Me too.

For the aortic operation and MVR operation I'm doing,

Dr. Lee will be my first assistant.

Is this your doing?

Are you alone?

Or is he with you?

Let me see.

Seung-tak?

Dr. Cha?

Wear a nametag or something.

I'm asking if you ordered them to avoid working with me.

You make it sound like you're the lead surgeon.

Why are you doing this?

I'm merely doing my job as the administrative director.

It's not normal for a first-year resident

to do the majority of an operation.

It will be a scandal if the media found out.

That's not the only reason.

Of course, not.

I'm curious.

Why is Dr. Cha possessing your body to carry out these surgeries?

Even if I were to ask, he wouldn't tell me.

So I thought I'd block him.

To see what happens next.

I can't kill or save Dr. Cha's life. But this is within my powers.

He's a young kid and he's in a coma.

Let me operate on him.

How can I, when I warned the doctors about the consequences?

Making exceptions will make me look weak and hurt my authority.

Is that more important than his life?

The kid's life

means a lot to you?

Since we're on the subject,

you're not doing this just for Dr. Cha's sake.

You're also doing it to satisfy your ambition.

Isn't that so?

I can't bear to see that.

If you want to save the boy, then tell everyone Dr. Cha is inside you.

Or do the surgery

on your own

without any help.

I warned him to not interfere.

People never change. And the evil ones are more stubborn.

That piece of crap.

Lend me your body. I'll throw Mr. Han out of the window.

What's on your mind? You're spacing out.

Where is Seung-jo?

A young calf

Is crying on the wood-burning stove

Mommy. Mommy. His butt is hot

He's having fun as you can see.

He's got a sunny personality.

-What an innocent smile. -It's a relief he's young.

That was great. You need kids around the house or hospital.

I'm going to have lots of kids later on. A big family.

How long will he be safe?

I don't know.

For as long as they're there?

Let's play hide-and-seek.

All right.

Seung-jo, let's go hide.

Ready or not, here I come

Ready or not

Can you hurry up and take the kid?

What? I thought you said you wanted the kid around.

You didn't hear the rest of it.

We can only handle him for three hours.

Try playing hide-and-seek 27 times.

Then where is he?

He's sleeping on the chair.

What?

What?

Is it the 28th hide-and-seek?

Ready or not

here I come

He's dead once I find him.

Maybe, I shouldn't have kids.

Where are you, Seung-jo?

You're not doing this just for Dr. Cha's sake.

You're also doing it to satisfy your ambition.

Isn't that so?

Administrative Director, I'm pleading with you.

Let Seung-tak operate on the boy.

We could use Dr. Koh's help in our surgeries, too.

The boy hasn't even woken up yet.

How can you proceed in those circumstances?

If the boy stays in a coma after the reoperation, that'll be worse.

Yes, it's a risky operation.

We know you want us to avoid such risks.

None of you highly-paid doctors can handle the reoperation?

If you're not capable of doing it, then transfer the kid to another hospital.

Why that piece of…

We can't transfer the boy.

There's the matter of his medical bill.

His operation is covered by Dr. Cha's fund. It's a hefty bill.

Is the bill that important?

Are you unwell?

Dr. Cha's fund will only cover his main operation.

This reoperation isn't covered. It's an unscheduled one.

Dr. Cha has to sign off on it, but he can’t.

What? His signature?

Any funds released from Dr. Cha's fund need my approval.

Since Dr. Cha is incapacitated, the hospital will handle the fund.

We were short on funds to renovate the VIP wing. I think I found a way.

This is good.

That dirty scoundrel.

Seung-jo.

Come back to Mommy.

I'm waiting for you to wake up.

Mommy.

What? Mommy.

Mommy.

Mommy? It's me, Seung-jo.

Doctor, what's the matter with my mom?

Seung-jo.

You're going through a hard time, right?

Come back to Mommy.

Did you mean what you said? Is it still valid?

What? What did I say?

That you'd see this to the end whether I'm a ghost or an alien.

What now?

Let's do this.

We can't transfer the boy to another hospital.

Of course, not.

He can't afford the costs.

He needs a reoperation though.

Don't just talk about the problem.

Make a decision!

What do doctors do?

Hippocratic Oath. It's our duty!

We can't let the patient wait for a doctor.

You're just saving your skin.

How can making money override the urge to save a patient's life?

You're real doctors, I see.

I knew you wouldn't have an appetite after abandoning a patient.

Especially you, Dr. Ban.

When you saved an eight-year-old patient 20 years ago, your heart was into it.

What?

I did?

You had courage back then.

And that's how you rose to the top.

Yes, that's true.

Your position requires you to make a stand.

When a patient's life is at stake,

you need to make the right choice.

Dr. Koh sent this?

He says you shouldn't skip your meals.

He's very worried about your health.

What a surprise.

I made a promise to a girl.

I would be a heart surgeon, and she would be a brain surgeon.

She wanted to set up a clinic with me after we started living together.

EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

-How much time do we have? -It's 15 minutes.

-You didn't sleep? -I drank coffee all night.

My heart is pounding.

My hands are trembling.

It's the caffeine kicking in.

You think I can pull this off?

You're the best.

Be confident.

Okay. Confidence.

How much time do we have?

About ten minutes.

Not Jae-won. You.

Around 20 hours.

You sound proud saying that.

As a first-year resident, I'm doing my best.

I've never been subservient to anyone.

I always called the shots.

You're ignoring me. Where are you going?

Seung-jo.

You know me, right?

I'm Dr. Cha Young-min.

The top doctor at this hospital.

And who am I caring for?

Me.

Right.

I'll help you meet your mom.

So be brave and wait here.

You can do that, right?

Yes.

He's paying it forward.

What kind of generational cycle is this?

Administrative Director.

What are you doing here on a weekend?

Dr. Han and Dr. Kim

are brave enough to take on the young patient's reoperation.

-So I came to support them. -They don't need any support.

It'll only spoil them.

-Which unit is it? -Which one? I'm not sure.

I don't think it's been chosen yet.

As you can see the operation is going smoothly.

But it's a very delicate one.

I can't add any pressure to the doctors

when they're handling a delicate operation.

Of course, not. Let's leave now.

Five, four, three, two, one.

I'll head home now.

Seung-tak.

What are you doing there?

I came to perform an operation.

What are you doing there? To observe?

Dr. Ban.

Well, actually…

Dr. Kim stayed up all night looking after a patient.

So he exceeded the 80-hour work limit by eight hours.

He worked 88 hours in total.

Dr. Han.

I called the other residents, but they all reached their workhour limit.

Dr. Koh is the only resident who has time left.

Thanks to someone,

I had a lot of free time this week. I think I have 20 hours left.

Ten minutes have already passed.

If we exceed the work hours, the fine is 5,000,000 won, I think.

We got fined before, I heard.

You can't overwork residents anymore.

That's why we have to avoid the fine.

We could also be penalized for how many residents we can hire.

We don't have enough residents as it is. So we had no choice.

Shall we begin, Dr. Han?

Okay, shall we?

Dr. Cha.

PSYCHIATRIST LEE MIN-SOOK

You called me yesterday?

I'm Jang Se-jin. Thank you for making time for me.

Suction.

Suction.

Give me the forceps and bovie.

What? Not there.

I'm sorry.

Suction.

Army navy retractor.

Army navy retractor.

What's happening to him?

I wonder why. This never happened before.

What's the matter, Seung-tak?

Hand me another one.

Did something happen in the operating unit?

You need to take care of your body.

You brag about your skills when someone else did all the work.

Take this time to rest.

You may ruin the lives of people who are alive.

So unless you must check on him, I'd like you to limit your visits.

Is there something off?

-I'm going to die, right? -Why do you think

what happened to him could never happen to you?

It's either one of two things. Either they woke up or they died.

It was actually Dr. Cha.
