Your numbers all look normal.

Just keep an eye on your weight.

But you know...

Strangely, I catch a cold way more often

-after having the liver transplant.
-I see.

I had one nasty winter last year
because of the cold.

I see. I didn't know that.
Did you get the flu shot last year?

No way. After having the transplant,

my heart starts beating fast

whenever I see a syringe.

Even so,
you should've gotten the flu shot.

I even get it.

We'll call you when your shot is due.
Get it this year.

But you know,
strangely, my skin gets dark spots easily

after getting the liver transplant.

Before the surgery,

people used to tell me that I had
glowing skin like a man in his sixties.

When you go out, do you apply sunscreen?

My gosh, men don't need that.

-I don't apply sunscreen.
-Goodness.

That's why you're getting tanned.

Besides, your skin was tanned,
to begin with.

Is that so? But you know,

after having the liver transplant,

walking for just an hour would make
my legs hurt these days.

When I'm a little bit tired,
I have pins and needles in my legs.

And my back hurts, too.

Sir, how old are you this year?

Me?

I turned 84 this year.

Come on. What can I do then?

Do you know Park Jong-jin,
an HCC patient who was admitted?

When I told him his tumor had got bigger,
he wanted to talk to you.

I'll go check on my sister first,
then I'll talk to him before I go home.

-Go get some rest.
-Okay.

You should take the next one.

-What?
-Just take the next one.

Third floor. Going up. Doors closing.

Hello.

Hi.

Gosh, this is good.

NAME: LEE IK-SUN

It's so good.

Are you a wild beast?

You should cook that.
We've been using fire for centuries now.

Everything is cooked except for this one.

-Did Mom call you?
-Yes.

She might be onto something.
She called me yesterday and today.

-You didn't tell her, did you?
-No, I didn't.

If I do, I know she'll be worried.
Why would I do that?

I guess Jun-wan is pretty good.

I feel fine. My head just rings a bit.

My gosh, the way you talk.

You'll turn 40 soon.
Don't talk like a kid.

It's been a while since I saw him.
He's so old now.

Of course. He'll be 40 soon, too.

-Is he not going to get married?
-You should get married.

-Did he come and check on you?
-Four times.

He came to check on me four times.
He's here all the time.

He must think I'm still in middle school.

Gosh, that's gross.

Nice. That makes it five.

Say hello, Professor Kim. He's my brother.

Please take good care of her.

I'm Lee Ik-jun,
Major Lee Ik-sun's older brother.

I truly appreciate the work
you did on her.

Just like she told me,

you're getting old
as a lonely bachelor.

-My gosh, yes. I am. My apologies.
-Okay.

Seeing how you're goofing around,
you can go home.

I got the medical certificate
and admission note ready for you.

-You can get discharged tomorrow.
-Okay.

You're not going back right away, right?

She's off for two weeks.
She'll rest up at my house.

You're not going to Changwon?
To stay with your mom.

Gosh, no. She doesn't know yet.
Hand me some tissues.

You know what? Your hospital
must be environmentally friendly.

There are birds here.

Birds? Are there birds inside?

-My gosh.
-Right here.

What should I do?

Being her brother is so hard.
It really is.

Stay still.

What was that?

It's buljajangmyeon. It's so good.

-Is it spicy?
-Yes, a little.

But it's the best jajangmyeon. I've tried
it from every restaurant near my base.

But this restaurant
has the best jajangmyeon. It's so good.

You must come and try it.

No matter how good it is, I won't go
all the way there just for jajangmyeon.

How can you never come to see
your sister in Inje?

I visited you when you were in Cheorwon.

That was three years ago!

I'm busy trying to make ends meet.
I look after my son and patients.

I'm busy, too.
I have 300 soldiers under me.

Don't you feel sorry for your only sister?

I'm stuck in Inje,
only eating buljajangmyeon.

Field grade officers get lots of days off.

You're a major in the army,
but all you do is travel.

I didn't get to travel much.

I can't go beyond the border anyway.

No matter what, I'm stuck in Inje.
I ate all downstream trout and salmon.

You always liked sashimi anyway.
You're a sashimi lover.

You eat them because you like sashimi.
Why are you blaming it on the fish?

You said buljajangmyeon was great. If you
can eat that delicious thing every day,

If you can eat that every day,

you'll be happy every day.
Why'd I feel bad for you?

Oh, my. Are you guys rapping?

You two should become rappers.

Actually, we used to practice
rapping together.

When I was in middle school,
and he was in high school,

we entered a comedy contest
as rappers. But we didn't make it.

-A comedy contest?
-That was a long time ago.

By the way, who did you want
to see from the hospital?

-Didn't she come to see you?
-No way. You think she'd come to see me?

I'm sure she came here to see her friend.

I was going to see you and my friend, too.

It's my best friend. And my best friend
has to work on the weekends, too.

So I came here to surprise my friend.

Darn it.

-Wait, is it a guy?
-Yes.

-Is he your boyfriend?
-No, he's not.

He's my closest friend in the army.

-I don't think so.
-We're really just friends.

We're like you and Song-hwa.

Salute.

My gosh, Major Lee. How long has it been?

Are you okay now?
Sorry I couldn't come yesterday.

Mr. Civilian. You look great.

-Oh, my. Hello.
-What is this?

It's Dr. Ahn Chi-hong from NS?
Are you two friends?

Right. You said you graduated
from the Military Academy.

Why didn't I connect the dots?

It didn't occur to me, either.

Now that I know,
your names are very similar.

-Do you know each other?
-Yes.

Hey, by the way, I approve.
I approve of this.

-Of what?
-I like Dr. Ahn.

Gosh. I've got nothing to say if it's him.

-I approve.
-Come on.

Hey, stop that nonsense.

Song-hwa bought the gimbap you like.
Let's go.

-I... Wait. Hold on.
-Just go.

Bye.

Wait. Please take good care of my sister.

She may come across as rough,

but she is really funny.

Okay? You know?

Hurry. Take a seat. Cheers.

A large cup of iced latte, please.

What do you want?

I'll have some tomato juice. Thank you.

-Who is he?
-A surgical intern.

I see. Hello.

One tomato juice, too.

Say hello. She's a second-year
ob-gyn resident. Dr. Chu Min-ha.

-Hello.
-Is he the only intern?

Are you the only surgical intern?

There's another,
but there's a liver metastasis conference

for a breast cancer patient.

So the other intern
went to the conference.

-I thought you had a lunch date.
-Gosh, it wasn't a date.

He wanted me to buy him lunch,
so I just bought him a meal.

-I'll pay.
-He's eight years younger than her.

-She's got games.
-Seven years.

-Do you want to chat for a bit?
-I have to go.

Gosh.

-Buy me a cup of coffee, too.
-What would you like?

I'd like an iced latte with a lot of ice.

One more iced latte, please.

You two are like besties.

I've been bothering him recently.

I really can't figure out what kind
of person Professor Yang Seok-hyeong is.

I'm getting a crash course from him.

When it comes to those five members
of the comedy club,

I can describe them in an omniscient
viewpoint as their colleague.

Everything. Their dating history,
families, and what they are really like.

It only takes a cup of coffee.

Yours are ready. You should go.

Hello, when did this happen?

It's been an hour.
He passed out in the shower.

Can you move this leg for me?

All right. And this leg.

He's not a Korean national, right?

Right.

Right now, he's suffering
from an intracerebral hemorrhage.

If his blood pressure remains high,

the bleeding could get worse
and may lead to death.

I managed to get him a bed in ICU,
so he should stay there

and have surgery
this afternoon or tonight.

Please sign here.

She said she's suddenly discharging blood.

How long has it been?

It's been two to three days.

Is there a lot of blood or does it hurt
like during your menstrual cycle?

Not really. I don't think so.

Just tell the doctor everything.

She can be really shy, you know.

People say that kids these days
are out of control,

but she's so innocent. Goodness.

Then, let me take a look
at her ultrasound.

-Let's do an ultrasound.
-Okay.

Ma'am, you can wait outside.
After the scan, we will bring you back in.

-Okay. Just do it. You'll be okay.
-Mom.

Doctor, do you think
this is implantation bleeding?

Has it been two weeks
since I did it with my boyfriend?

Damn it. I'm totally fucked.

Do you think I am pregnant?

If I am, my mom will kill me.

That motherfucker.
I told him to put on a condom.

Damn it.

Well, we don't know that yet.

Not all vaginal bleeding
means implantation in the uterus.

I see...

Then...

does it mean I can still have sex?

You're an intern. So how old you are you?

I'm 26 years old.

-My gosh.
-My goodness.

He's a baby.

-I'm so jealous.
-Goodness.

Hi.

Hello.

-Sit down.
-Hi.

My gosh, I'm hungry.
Let's do this while we eat.

Here. This is yours, sir.

Goodness.

I'm sorry.
I just finished seeing my outpatients.

My apologies.

You must be Im Chang-min.

Age, 26. Hometown, Cheongju.
You met your girlfriend at school.

You like to drink Tesla, right?

Do you know what that is?
Not the auto company.

It's a cocktail thing.
I haven't eaten yet. I'm starving.

Seriously?

We have to pay for food like this?

My goodness, what a rip-off.
Don't you think?

-Pardon?
-He wants to be discharged.

If he does, he might die.

He can't afford it.

We have the Social Services Department.

They can get some help
even if they are foreigners.

Actually, I looked into that.
This patient doesn't have a passport.

And he can't get
an income certificate, either.

Our hospital cannot help him.

-What should I do?
-Hold on.

Let me characterize those five doctors
in one go. Listen up.

To sum it up,

they should be called Lacking Five.
I could call them that.

I thought you had to go.

What does that mean?

So everyone lacks something?

That's right. Everyone lacks something.

Let's start with Song-hwa.

The only female.

The only female
and their emotional pillar.

In a nutshell,
she doesn't have any weaknesses.

She's good at her job.

And she helps other people, too.

When I have some extra time,
I'll write her biography.

-I heard about her.
-She's better than what you've heard.

Song-hwa is a perfect nerd.
But she likes having fun, too.

She likes having meals with colleagues
and can drink, too.

And sometimes, she acts all crazy.

She's pure-hearted.

Is that possible at her age?

What's wrong with our age?

The Social Services Department
said they would look into it.

-But it may take some time.
-Right.

But I don't think
this patient should be discharged.

-I don't know what to do.
-Hold on.

Yes, Professor Chae Song-hwa.

Didn't you have Grandpa-Long-Legs

or something like that
at your previous hospital?

Jeong-won knows a lot about that.

No, Kangwoon Medical Center's
Social Services Department

has someone called Hyeon Jeong-mi.

She's the only one
who can directly contact the sponsor.

Okay. Send me her number.

Do you have her phone number?

Okay.

If you give me her number, I'll call her.

Okay. Just a moment.

Right.

Yes, this patient
has an intracerebral hemorrhage.

The bleeding was caused
by high blood pressure.

He must undergo surgery
before the bleeding worsens.

I was wondering if you could help.

-Where is he from?
-He's from Indonesia.

-Professor, I can talk to her...
-He's from Indonesia.

No, we don't have much time.
I'll leave my number.

If you have any questions, call me.

By the way, do you think you can get
Grandpa-Long-Legs on the phone?

We really don't have time.

The patient is in critical condition.

Please get back to me
as soon as possible. Okay.

Usually, the sponsor gets back
to them right away. Let's wait.

All right, then.
We took care of the medical bills.

Where is he now?

He's still in the ER.

Go ahead with the CT navigation
and prep for surgery.

I'll call Anesthesiology
to book an OR.

I'm calling them now. I'll do it.

You go and prep for surgery now.

Hey, it's me.
I'm sending a patient for premedication.

Get me an OR.

All right. Next up is Kim Jun-wan.

Jun-wan is the best surgeon.

But he is...

He's a jerk.

-How's the ultrasound?
-Yes, it's fully blocked.

-It's not bleeding, right?
-Yes. It's fine.

Jae-hak.

Why should we be careful with the AV node?

Why should we be careful with that?

Hey!

Is my surgery that boring?

A bit.

No. Not at all. It's fun!

I'm sorry.

How could you doze off when
the patient is between life and death?

Well, I'm also on the verge of...

I'm sorry.

Professor Kim, there's no bleeding.
The surgery went well.

-We'll wrap up the rest.
-Will you?

Yes. Great surgery, sir.

Good job.

-Great surgery.
-Great surgery, sir.

Don't we have footage of TOF surgery?

Yes, sir.

Give him that,
so he can reflect on himself.

Dr. Jang, you're drooling right now.

Dr. Chu, aren't your cheeks too red?

-Is it too much?
-Yes.

I applied it because I wanted
to look three or four years younger.

You look 34 years younger.

Damn you.

-Next.
-What about Professor Yang Seok-hyeong?

-Seok-hyeong.
-Yes.

Don't you know?

-Me?
-I...

I... Where I live...

Our house.

-Professor Yang.
-Our house.

-Our house.
-Yes, this is Yang Seok-hyeong speaking.

Yes.

He's not social.

One, two, three.

We won.

Don't waste your energy. We have two more.

-One, two, three. Two more.
-One, two, three.

We won, we won again

We won, we won again

We won, we won again

I feel bad for the younger ghosts.

We won, we won again

Who have I missed?

-Professor Lee Ik-jun.
-Dr. Ahn Jeong-won.

Lee Ik-jun, that prick...

He was at the top of his class
when he entered med school,

and graduated at the top, too.

-Really?
-Yes.

Ik-jun had the highest marks
on the medical board exam.

Shouldn't he be the biggest clown instead?

That's what I heard too.

When he was a med student,
he practically lived at clubs.

But he still came out top.

I'm not sure if he's just that smart
or if he studied in secret.

Anyway, a practicum or exam.

It didn't matter.
He always got the highest grades.

But do you know
what this punk doesn't have?

-Modesty?
-Sure. he's not modest, either.

Perhaps, it's because he got it all.

But he doesn't have any
inferiority complex or prejudice.

-He's not twisted at heart.
-Right.

Do they expect anyone to pay
for a thing like this?

This is such a rip-off. My goodness.

Sir.

You always eat meals prepared by others,
but you always seem to complain.

You should just eat it.
It's actually good.

Okay?

Starting now, whenever you complain,
you'll have to pay 10,000 won.

You have to. Okay?

Hey, why would I pay 10,000 won?

That's too expensive.
This meal probably costs less than that.

My gosh. Fine. All right.

-That punk.
-He stopped at 40,000 won.

-Enjoy your meal.
-My gosh.

-So Ahn Jeong-won is the last one.
-Yes.

Jeong-won doesn't have...

-any desire for material possessions.
-Obviously.

His family is super-rich.
Even I wouldn't be materialistic.

Yes, I just wired the money.

And...

once the surgery bill comes out,
I'll cover that, too.

He shouldn't worry
and just get the surgery

Tell him to focus on getting better.

Okay. I got it.

BILLS ARE BEING COUNTED
PLEASE WAIT

WITHDRAWAL: 100,000 WON
BALANCE: 305,000 WON

-Are you supporting a secret family?
-You startled me.

It's payday. Where's your money?

Why did you look at my balance,
you lunatic?

Where did the money go? You prick.

Where do you think?
It went to a good place.

Hey, by the way, we're not getting
any patients for the VIP Ward these days.

Why do you say that? Are you finally
concerned about the hospital now?

It's not about the hospital.
It's just my finances.

-Didn't you read the article?
-What article?

Congressman Sim Yeong-su
will have a liver transplant.

He'll be admitted to the VIP Ward
this afternoon. His surgery is soon.

You're right. I forgot about him.

Hey, I heard that he's taking up
all four of those expensive VIP rooms.

He only needs two rooms
for him and his son.

But he didn't want people to talk
about them and keep things private.

-He booked all four of them.
-Really? He's a VIP indeed.

I should buy some juice and visit him.

Hey, by the way...
What was his son's name?

-Sim Yeong-ho?
-That's right. Sim Yeong-ho.

Didn't he go clubbing
with Ik-jun all the time?

Yes, he's Ik-jun's clubbing bestie.

My gosh, he was such a jerk back then.

What a surprise. Who knew
he'd give his liver to his dad?

-Right? Isn't his son the donor?
-According to Ik-jun, he's a new man now.

Ik-jun met with him last month
for the HLA testing and the consult.

Ik-jun told me he's now softer.

I have some time left.
Shall we eat tteokbokki?

I have to meet with Seok-hyeong.

I have a meeting with him
for a gastroschisis patient.

Hey, don't bring it up
in front of Seok-hyeong.

Don't talk about Sim Yeong-su.
He'll lose it again.

Okay, I heard you.

SEXUAL PREDATOR CONGRESSMAN SIM YEONG-SU
GETS A LIVER TRANSPLANT

HE WAS ADMITTED TO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

HE WAS FINED FOR ASSAULTING A CADDIE
AT A GOLF COURSE LAST MONTH

MOM

Hi, Mom.

Yes. Did you have your lunch?

What did you eat?

Mom, I got paid today.
What should I do with this?

What do I do? Tell me.

By the way, did Professor Ahn Jeong-won
date anyone when he was a med student?

Jeong-won?

Well...

By the way,
you guys seem to have a lot of time.

When I was your age...

Did you study
the patient's condition?

Yes. It's called gastroschi...

It's a gastroschisis.
It means a lack of an abdominal wall.

Can you elaborate?

When a baby has its abdominal wall
undeveloped,

its intestines come out of the body.

When was the patient diagnosed
with the condition?

The mother was diagnosed with
gastroschisis 20 weeks into her pregnancy.

And she's 36 weeks into her pregnancy now.

You seem to know better than me.

Does it mean the baby is likely to die?

No. This is a rare condition,
but we get a few patients like her.

Usually, the babies have surgery
as soon as they are born.

They can be healthy again.

Because they must get the surgery
right after they are born,

it's better to consult
a pediatric surgeon in advance.

So there will be a meeting
with the surgical professor today.

Is it okay for us to join?

Those meetings in dramas
seem really serious.

Why not? Can't you just do the surgery?
Let's go with the C-section. Please?

It's not something you can decide.

That's what the mother wants.

Tell him.

I examined the mother.
Her pelvis is in good shape.

And the baby's head
is at around the pelvis, too.

So we think
the vaginal delivery will be easier.

It means she'll give birth naturally.

I'm glad to hear that.

The baby isn't that small, right?

No. The baby isn't too small.

Actually, in cases like this,
some people are concerned

that a vaginal delivery might increase
the chance of infection in babies.

But I can't guarantee that a C-section
would lower that chance, either.

More than anything, the mother strongly
wants to have the vaginal delivery.

Okay.

But we don't know
when the baby will come out.

What if I'm in the middle of surgery
when the baby comes out?

You're right.

That's why I'll observe her until week 38
and try inducing labor.

You punk. Why didn't you say so?

Don't laugh.

Hey, think about it. The mother
would also want her pediatric surgeon

to do the surgery on her baby.

She agreed to inducing labor
over a C-section.

With labor induction, we can usually
deliver the baby on the day we want.

I'm glad to hear that. Then, pick a day
when I don't have outpatients.

Sure.

It's been thirty-six weeks
and two days as of today.

I'll make it two weeks from today.

So should we wrap up the meeting?

Yes.

What are you doing tonight?

I don't have any plans.
Do you want to get drinks?

Sure.

What about the other guys?
What's Ik-jun up to?

Congressman Sim was admitted today,
so he'll have to stay with the patient.

Is his son the donor?

Yes.

I bet he's putting on a show.

Let's eat first. The meal boxes
just arrived. They are warm.

Okay.

Here.

All the beds are full today.
Eat when you can.

Thank you.

Jo Je-yeong in Room 6103.

He had a TACE in 2016.

Yes, but there were some lesions left.

So he got the RFA and TACE.

What's TACE?

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.

-Chemoembolization in hepatic arteries.
-"Chemoembolization..."

-Yes?
-This is Room 6110.

The patient is throwing up.
Please come now.

Room 6110? Okay. I'm on my way.

-Room 6110.
-Okay.

-Ma'am.
-Yes?

My husband can't breathe.

He's been having a hard time breathing
for a while. Please come now.

-Go.
-Okay.

Nurse, my bed is broken.

I keep pressing the remote,
but it won't come up.

I need to have my dinner.

We can't even have our dinner right now.
Please help.

I'm not the one...

Hold on. Let me go with you.

Where did he go?

Which room was he in?

Su-bin.

Can you tell me if Congressman Sim's son,
Sim Yeong-ho,

is in VIP Room Two or Three?

He's in Room Two,
but you can't see him even if you go now.

-Why not?
-He's quite sensitive.

Only a designated nurse can see him.

Even Professor Gwon Sun-jeong
only got to see him once.

Since he's the donor,
he doesn't have to do a lot.

But he's very cranky.

What?

He's not like that.

His son...

They say
that his son doesn't want to do it,

but he's forced to donate
to look like a good son.

And they say

some private security guards
are surveilling him in case he runs away.

-What are you looking for anyway?
-What?

A guardian came to me
because of a broken bed.

-But I don't know which room he's in.
-Oh, that? I fixed that.

-When?
-A while ago.

How?

It wasn't plugged in properly.

You didn't eat yet, right?

Jeez. You should go and eat first.

I'll sit here and take care
of things here.

No, you should go home.
Your son must be waiting.

Tomorrow is the weekend.
I'll play with him then.

This feels nice. How nice.

What should I watch?

You really look like a single father now.

Right.

Before, I lived the life
of a single father,

but it's even true on paper, too.

I'm really a single father now.

Raising is a kid hard, isn't it?

Being a doctor must be hard enough.

It's hard. But my son...

But I love my son to pieces.

Father, lift me, please.

What should we get?

You get ham and cheese.

So ham and cheese for me. What about you?

I'll get Avoholic.

You'll get Avoholic. And I'm U-ju-holic.

Then, I'm Dad-holic.

Are you a genius? Did I make a genius?

Give me a kiss.

-Have you been here before?
-Yes.

-Who did you come with?
-With Jang Mo-ne. My girlfriend.

-Your girlfriend's name is Mo-ne?
-Yes.

Was it just the two of you?

No, we came here with Mo-ne's mom.

I see. Is that so?

-U-ju.
-Yes?

If you miss your mom,

tell me anytime.

You say the word,
and I'll take you to her right away.

No, I'll tell her to come to you. Okay?

If she doesn't miss me,
I don't miss her, either.

What do you mean she doesn't miss you?

You're wrong. She misses you a lot.

She called me yesterday
and asked how you were doing.

She calls me every day.

I just need you, Dad.

You're my favorite person
in the entire universe.

Dad, are you not going to eat that?

I'm going to.

Father.

Can you buy me one more sandwich, please?

Father, you have a visitor.

Oh, him? It's my younger brother.
He said he'd come see me.

-I don't think it's him.
-What?

He's handsome.

I see.

Were you playing baseball?

No. I came from home.

Do you not have anyone
to spend your weekend with?

I'll go see Mom later.

You are not going on a date? You punk.

You're wasting your best days.

What are you talking about?
Why would I go on a date?

I'm not interested.

By the way,
I still haven't gotten an answer yet.

I sent the recommendation letter
almost two months ago.

You'll get it soon. Just wait.

Oh, that reminds me.

Did you...

Did you tell Mom?

I'm planning to tell her today.

She'll pass out today.

I'm sure she'll understand.

What?

She encouraged all of you
when you were called by God.

I believe in Mom.

She's not like the others.

What?

Mom!

Mom!

Please hear me out.

Mom!

Mom.

I'm fine.

There are stairs all the way down.
Get on my back now.

All right. Hold on tight.

Mom, should we have
spicy noodles for dinner tonight?

Call Song-hwa.

Ask her to come for dinner.

I really like her.

She's calm and kind.

Why would she join us for dinner?

I told you she's just a friend.

Besides, she's not calm at all.

She is a wild one.

"REJOICE IN THE LORD"
CHURCH MEMBER CHAE SONG-HWA

I didn't know "Rejoice in the Lord"
was such a fun song.

The professor is doing a good job with it.

Here comes the highlight.

My dear U-ju. I wonder
where you get your good looks from.

-Lee Ik-jun.
-My gosh.

The micro-dust level is high today.
Will there be outdoor classes?

Okay. If you go outside this afternoon,

use the mask I put in the front pocket
of U-ju's backpack.

And if you have any sunscreen,
please gently apply it to his face.

Okay.

-Dad.
-I'll see you after work.

That startled me. Darn it.

Goodness.

My gosh, you're the queen of parking.

If I have to quit,
I'll work as a chauffeur.

Someone, park my car, please.

My gosh.

My gosh. Hello. Are you back for good?

Goodness.

She came back to work today.

-She's already delivered a baby.
-I see.

-Do you know who she is?
-Yes.

We heard she's the goddess of delivery.

You bet she is.
She's been working for 15 years

as a nurse in the delivery room.

She had to deliver her own baby,
so she was on leave.

As long as we have her,
we're not needed here. We can all go home.

You're just as I remember.
You haven't changed at all.

My gosh, people shouldn't change.

But we got new professors
while you were away.

Just one. A young doctor who seems sullen.

-I've never met him before.
-You mean Professor Yang Seok-hyeong.

He's the only one I haven't met.
The others are all the same.

We have a delivery scheduled
for a baby with anencephaly.

Whose case is that?

Mine. I'm assisting the delivery.

Do a good job.

What's anencephaly?

A baby without a brain.

We suspected the baby had anencephaly
during an ultrasound at 13 weeks.

We're not allowed to induce abortion.

And the mother wanted
to give birth anyway.

She's now 32 weeks pregnant.
Her waters broke at dawn.

And she's having contractions now.

I think the baby will come out
this afternoon.

The baby can only live for a few hours,
or several days, at most.

That's enough. The rest is for us
to worry about and prepare for.

Professor Yang will take the patient?

Actually, he wanted to see me.

Who's in my anencephaly case today?

-I'm assisting you.
-I see.

Min-ha, I need to talk to you then.

Me? Okay. Sure.

You want me to cover the mouth?

Don't block the nose or the airway.

Just cover the mouth gently,
so we don't hear the baby cry.

Eun-won can't
because she has to assist me.

So, you come in
and cover the baby's mouth.

Do it as soon as the baby's born.

Understood?

The X-ray shows no problem.

He also has no fever.
Maybe I called you for no reason.

I even called you last night.

She's just worried since
it hasn't been long since his surgery.

We'll just have to deal with it.

Why did Jin-yong return?
What's the matter?

He's fine now. I'm sorry, Professor.

Jin-yong kept throwing up last night

so he was brought to the ER.
But he's okay now.

Then... Is there any other problem?

What about his fever
and abdominal distention?

His fever broke
after I gave him a fever reducer.

He's better after vomiting once.

He has no other problems
and we explained everything.

But his mother insisted
on seeing you, so...

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

Dr. Bae, a patient with a fracture
came in. You should come.

Sure.

Let's see.

Ma'am, his intestine is fine,
so you don't have to worry too much.

Jin-yong, you think
you can eat something now?

Oh, my. You look haggard.
Your cheeks are hollow.

It hurts, doesn't it? I'm sorry.

What happened?

He was playing on a dining table
and suddenly fell.

Since then, he hasn't been able
to move his arm.

He fell on his right side.

I think he broke his arm.

Please do something. Please.

How do you feel
when I press here and here?

Do they feel the same?

Is your head okay?

Does it hurt here too?

Take a deep breath.

Does it hurt when you breathe?

I think we should X-ray his chest too.

Did he fall on his arm?

Didn't he hit his chest hard on something?

-Okay.
-I'm not sure.

But I heard a really loud sound
when he fell from the table.

He fell really hard on his right side.

I think his arm is broken,
and there must be a chest problem too.

So we should X-ray him first.

But I heard...
X-rays are bad for children.

Is it really necessary?

It's okay
since there's very little radiation.

I see... All right, then.

Goodness, Doctor. Whatever you do,

please hurry and stop his pain.

I will. Don't worry.

Let's get the X-ray done.
And give him some painkiller.

Yes.

Professor, they say the Kasai's
operation's ready. You should go.

Okay.

You haven't received an enema, right?

He'll get it later this evening.

That's all he needs to do
before surgery, right?

Why are there so many things to do
for preparation?

He'll be exhausted
even before the surgery.

A transplant recipient
usually needs a lot of preparation.

The surgery takes a long time as well.

So... Did you say it'll take
about ten hours?

We'll only know for sure
after the surgery begins.

But you're right.
It usually takes nine to ten hours.

But as for your son,

if I take out the time
for anesthetizing and closing his chest,

the surgery will only take
about four hours. So it's better.

He won't have any side effects
after his surgery, right?

I mean, he's getting a liver transplant
to get better after all.

Well...

It's not that
he's getting it to get better.

The liver transplant is the only way
for him to live.

Your son is doing a great thing.

You should know that not everyone does it
for their family or parents.

Not doing it is also understandable.

I see...

We took an X-ray because of your cough.

-How does it look?
-It looked fine.

Then it's all good.

See you tomorrow.

Okay. Have a good rest today, Professor.

Don't drink tonight,
and just go home and rest, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Yes. He really told me
to cover the baby's mouth first.

Clearly, he doesn't even
want to hear the baby crying.

I'm telling you, he's a total psycho.

Did he really say that?

Did Dr. Yang Seok-hyeong say that?

He told me that just a while ago.

I didn't think he was that kind of doctor.
He has a different side.

What do you mean?
He does look like that type of doctor.

He has no consideration
or affection for pregnant women.

He's a simple, ignorant,
and selfish loner.

He's exactly that kind of doctor.

Dr. Chu, how long
have you been a resident?

It's my second year.

I see...

Listen carefully.

The patient with gastroschisis
went into labor and is in the ER now.

Hurry up, Professor.

DELIVERY ROOM
RESTRICTIONS FOR VISITORS

I think it's going too fast.

The interval is too short.

Eun-won, he's here.

Jo Mi-hyeon, a primi mother
at 37 weeks pregnant.

We planned to induce labor next week,

but she has labor pain now.

Her husband's pretty shaken up.

It's okay. You don't have to worry.

The cervix is dilated
to three centimeters,

and she's just received an epidural.

VIP ROOM TWO

BED REST
VISITORS ARE RESTRICTED

I'm worried.

He's mentally unstable.

He refused all visitors.

He had a blood test and an X-ray, right?

Yes, of course.

But since then,
he hasn't come out of the room.

He seemed fine
when I talked to him last time.

You don't think he'd run away, do you?

I don't think so.

It's three centimeters,
so we still have some time.

-You called the Pediatrics, right?
-Yes.

What about Pediatric Surgery?

You haven't called Jeong-won yet, right?
We still have some time.

No, not yet.

I talked with their chief doctor
on the phone.

Dr. Ahn's surgery that started
this morning has just finished.

He hasn't eaten anything all day,

so he'll come after eating something.

That's good. I'll be in my office then.

-I heard it's still three centimeters.
-Yes.

Then she still has a long way to go.

Don't tell me you already called PS?

Of course not.
I'm a second-year now, you know.

I know that much.

Hello?

This is bad.

What's going on?

The cervix is fully dilated.

RESTRICTED AREA

It's okay.
Take your time before coming in.

Yes, sir.

What do I do? I told PS they could go eat.

What should I tell them?

You don't have to call them.

Pardon?

He's already in there.

Dr. Ahn came ten minutes ago
and is now in the delivery room.

Has he eaten already?

"Is eating important?
We are delivering a baby."

That's what Dr. Ahn said.

He said he should be on standby
since Dr. Yang's delivering the baby.

Jeong-won.

-Thanks.
-Sure.

-Yes?
-Professor, it's ready.

Okay.

What about Jeong-won?

He's been doing surgeries
since this morning.

-Seok-hyeong, too?
-Yes.

He had an emergency delivery

and has an anencephaly case soon,

so he can't eat now.

What was it again?

A baby without a brain?

You're right.

Oh, dear.

Okay. Please take a deep breath.

Good. You're doing a good job.

It's almost done. Just a bit more.

Good. You're doing a good job, ma'am.

Okay, with all your might,
push one last time.

Good. One more time.

One more.

More.

More.

Hang in there. You're doing a good job.

Good. The baby has come out.

You did a good job.

You've really done well.

Doctor...

I feel...

so sorry for my baby.

My baby...

Ma'am,

You didn't give up on the baby
until the end.

That alone is amazing.

You really did your best, ma'am.

You've done a great job.

Dr. Chu, how long
have you been a resident?

It's my second year.

Listen carefully.

I've been worried
about that mother for a while,

so I went to see her a little while ago.

I asked her if she wanted to see the baby
when it's born.

I told her I can show her if she wants to.

She thought it over and told me that...

she doesn't want to...

because if she sees the baby,
it might be too hard for her.

She didn't have an abortion.

That alone is great.

But when I was coming out of the room,

I saw Dr. Yang standing outside the door.

He came to ask me a favor.

He said, "When the baby's born later,

if it starts crying,

could you play really loud music?

I asked another person a different thing,

but I'm asking you too, just in case."

Yes.

Come further inside.

Yes.

I understood what he meant right away.

But it was so unlike him,

so I asked him as if I didn't get it.

"Why should I play loud music?"

He said,
"The mother already knows about it

and has prepared herself.

But still, if she hears the cry

when the baby is born,

she'll be traumatized for life."

Mom.

Did you see the doctor?

I told them to take good care of you.

Yes, it went well.

They said everything's fine.

It's just that my legs feel weak.

-I need to go to the restroom.
-Sure.

He said he didn't want
to make her traumatized

after all she's been through.

The mother is aware of everything
about the baby

and has prepared herself.

But he thinks
she'll be traumatized for life.

Oh, my.

He looks quite dull,

so I didn't think he'd care
about small things.

That was unexpected.

You know, it's not easy
to be thoughtful like that.

Then he should've told me
the reason first.

Does he really have to say it out loud?

You should've gotten it right away.

Oh, no...

You even eat green onion kimchi now?

You didn't like it before.

I suddenly like it.

I crave cold bean soup noodles these days.

I never liked it before.

-Our taste in food changes as we grow old.
-Yes, but not gradually.

It changes overnight. All of a sudden.

I suddenly became allergic to cats.

I was never allergic to anything.

I suddenly developed presbyopia
on Christmas morning last year.

My girlfriend asked me if I liked

something on her phone,
but I couldn't see it at all.

I just said I liked it.

Two days ago, I went to the park with U-ju

and took 6,000 photos of flowers.

I'm serious. I took 6,000 photos.

Don't laugh.
I took them without realizing it.

And U-ju was...

They were selling bean soup there.

So U-ju was eating it, and I was suddenly
immersed in those flowers.

-I'll show you.
-No, thanks.

-Look at them.
-I'm okay.

Well, Seok-hyeong's worse.

-Of course. He's the worst.
-He's the worst.

He never talked with his mom,
but now he's a mama's boy.

He was really brusque with his mom.

He talked behind her back a lot,

saying she was so spiteful and scary.

You never know how people turn out.

Anyone would be like that

after going through all of that at once.

He was close to his little sister,
but she suddenly died.

And his father had an affair
with a young woman.

His mom then had a stroke.

Gosh... I think only Seok-hyeong
could endure all that.

If it were me...

How's his mom doing these days?

I heard she'd come here today.
Didn't she go to you?

She came to see a neurologist today.

She is a lot better.
She can go out by herself now.

So he was going to see his mom
if he has time after the delivery.

I wonder if he met her.

I'm okay.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, but...

The woman who just went in is my mother.

She has trouble moving around
after having surgery.

-I see.
-I'm sorry, but...

I'm just worried
that she might collapse in there.

If it's not too much trouble for you,
could you keep an eye on her?

If you could just check her
once or twice if she's okay...

I'd appreciate it. I'm sorry.

No, don't be. I'll go check on her now.

Seok-hyeong's father
is beyond our imagination.

He doesn't deserve to be a father.

Even Seok-hyeong doesn't call him
his father anymore.

They didn't get a divorce yet, right?

Right. His mom's absolutely against it.

She'll never do it.

You should go in now. I know you're busy.

I will after I see you get a cab.

I know how to get a cab.

I called a cab.
I'll go back after you get in.

What about Song-hwa? Is she busy?

Why don't you call her?

Tell her to come down and get some coffee.

Mom, we're really just friends.

There's nothing going on between us,
so stop that.

I didn't say anything.

I just want to see her
since I'm at the hospital.

Why are you getting so worked up?

Is there really something going on?

The cab's here. You should go.

-Bye, mom.
-Bye.

Seok-hyeong, come home right away.

What's the matter, Aunt?

Ji-eun is dead...

-What?
-They said she accidentally fell and died.

How did something like this happen?

You should hurry.

Take the earliest flight
and come here as soon as possible.

Your mom collapsed
and was taken away in an ambulance.

And your father went hiking
with his new employees,

so he can come tomorrow night.

So you should hurry, okay?

How could something like this happen?

Father.

JANUARY 2019

Can he call himself human?

What about your mom?
Have you told her about this?

I will tell her tonight.

Are you sure about this?

He's not even human.

He really isn't.

-Do you want me to tell her?
-No, I will.

It's drizzling. It'll pour soon.

Come inside. Let's talk inside.

I knew.

I've known all along that he's having...

an affair.

But... But then, mom.

Why didn't you do anything?

I tried everything.

I went to him and cursed him.

I even pulled his hair.

But...

he said we should get a divorce.

He said he only wants a divorce.

Then he'd give me this house
and all his buildings.

He begged me for a divorce.

So I said no.

I said we should live together

and die together.

I won't get a divorce. For whose sake?

Hiking with his new employees?

I know...

I know he goes on a trip abroad
at the end of each year.

Even on the day Ji-eun died,

I'm sure he was with her.

I know that.

But I won't divorce him.

It would just make him happy.

Why would I divorce him
when he'd live happily with that wench?

Just divorce him, Mom.

You can live happily with me.

It's okay if I become unhappy.

But I can't let your father become happy.

Even on the day we buried Ji-eun...

your dad slept...

with that wench in the same room.

I'm okay.

I'll bear everything by myself.

So you focus on your job.

For me...

your happiness is everything.

Mom...

Take me, Mom.

Mom...

Take me with you, Mom.

Take me, Mom.

Mom...

Take me, Mom.

Mom...

Take me, Mom.

YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

Who's this?

This is Dr. Ahn Chi-hong from NS.

He's also from graduate school.

He's quite old.
He's a third-year resident like me.

-Nice to meet you.
-Welcome to Dr. Bong's Salon.

Thank you.

This gathering is popular among residents.

Since we can get a lot
of information about our professors,

everyone wants to come.

So Dr. Ahn here has been selected today
out of ten candidates

because he treated us to a lot of pizza.

By the way, Dr. Bong's not here yet?

I'm here.

Hey, if you have time for this,
just go home or get some sleep.

What would you like to drink?

Well, should I have
a cold one or a hot one?

You can have both. I'll go buy them.

I'll just pick drinks for you guys, okay?

Okay.

Who is this new guy here?

Hello. I'm Ahn Chi-hong,
a third-year resident from NS.

Dr. Ahn from NS.

Who are you curious about?

About Professor Chae Song-hwa.

-Song-hwa?
-Yes.

What do you want to know about her?

Maybe, her hobbies?

Ahn Jeong-won for me.

I want to know about his hobbies.

You guys know they're in
a band together, right?

The five of them formed a band.

Well, they were considered a gag club
when we were in school.

They didn't play officially,

but they always practiced together.

Oh, right.
I heard they're practicing tonight.

Good. I totally mastered this song.

After the break,
how about we make this part longer?

You finished early.

-How about some ramyeon?
-No.

I have to go watch my kid,
so sit down now.

Let's play it once properly
and call it a day.

This is my favorite song.

No, it's mine.

No, it's mine.

A band? Dr. Yang too?

-Thanks. Seok-hyeong plays the keyboards.
-What?

-Who plays what?
-He said Seok-hyeong plays the keyboards.

Ik-jun and Jun-wan were in a band
when they were in high school.

They were the best in Changwon.
Well, they were, according to Ik-jun.

Anyway, Ik-jun's good
at playing the guitar and bass guitar.

Jun-wan plays the guitar.

They joined a med school band,

but they left
because things weren't right for them.

Then they started their own band for fun.

Luckily, Seok-hyeong was good at piano,

and I think Jeong-won started
the drums then.

And Song-hwa's the vocalist.

She's the vocalist?

Yes, she is.

But she can't sing

That's right. I know that.
Actually, everyone knows that.

But Song-hwa lied to them.

-Sorry?
-She's really good at lying.

When she sets her mind
on something,

she'll get it by any means.

That's an unexpected charm.

A vocalist?

Are you saying you're good at singing?

Yes.

SPRING 1999

I'm a little hoarse right now,

but I'm really good at singing.

I'll be the vocalist.

But you were fine until yesterday.

This morning...

I suddenly got hoarse.

Oh, I need more coffee.

Okay, then. Song-hwa can be the vocalist.

And you're good at piano, you said?

-Yes.
-Really?

I'm pretty good.

Can't you tell? Look at this place.

I'm from a musical family.

Then, show me.

Are you...

Any other songs?

-When did he learn it?
-Be quiet.

Continue playing. I want to listen more.

Well... This guy...

This jerk...

Wait.

Wow, how much is it?

It's 300,000 won.

You really are rich.

You can write thirty-five
Korean characters up to five lines.

-Wow, this is so light.
-Right?

The technology has advanced a lot.

Maybe it'll have a camera on it too.

-That's nonsense.
-Or we will be able to

buy things and pay the bus fare with it.

-What?
-You've gone too far.

Why not watch TV on it then?

Why not recharge it like this?

They say all that will be possible.

It will. But after we all die.

But there's one thing I can play
until the end.

-"Beyer"?
-"Canon."

"Canon"?

-You can play "Canon"?
-Yes.

I'm not as good as George Washington,
but I can play it until the end.

-I learned it from my sister.
-It's George Winston.

You.

This is your last chance.

What a show-off.

Like this.

And then, the second line...

Song-hwa, you've improved a lot.

He's a TA patient.

He's been X-rayed because of
a rigid abdomen and rebound tenderness.

Seems he has a pan-peritonitis
from bowel perforation.

He needs surgery so I called you.

Okay.

-Did you give him a painkiller?
-Yes.

Okay, let's see.

My, it hurts a lot, doesn't it?

What?

He looks just like him, right?

I was surprised too,
so I was thinking about how it's possible.

-Maybe they're twins.
-Yes, they're twins.

Jae-hun got hurt yesterday,
and today, his brother...

Jae-yong.

Dad's here. It's okay.

Doctor, he's going to be okay, right?

It was a car accident, right?

Yes, I dozed off while driving
and hit a lamp post.

He was in the back seat.

I don't know what I was thinking.

I need to check some things,

so could you leave us for a moment?

Why? Why should a guardian leave?

Before surgery, I need to prepare him.

I see.

Jae-yong, let me see.

What's wrong with the patient?

He was in his dad's car
and got a pan-peritonitis from TA.

What kind of father would let that happen?

It can happen when you drive.

But the father seemed totally fine.

Jae-yong, let me see.

He's covered in bruises.

Jae-yong, lie on your stomach.

Good.

My goodness.

What kind of sick son of a bitch
does this?

We still have a lot of time left
before surgery.

But I don't know
why I'm already so nervous.

That's natural.

Your son...

His surgery will begin soon.

If it goes well,

my husband will be able to play golf

and go on a trip abroad again, right?

Yes.

He will.

Can we have a word?

This is the VIP Ward on the tenth floor.
Please send four men now. Hurry.

Yes, right now.

-Why did you call the security guards?
-Listen.

Yes?

Didn't you notice anything strange
when you checked on Mr. Sim?

His wife is with him all the time.

-What's wrong with that?
-She never goes to her son's room.

Her son is giving her husband his liver,

but she always stays with her husband.

Even the most unmotherly mother

would be worried about her child
more than she is.

Who are you?

Well... I...

Who are you?

Ik-jun.

THE CENTER OF DEFENSE
THE SECOND BATTALION

What brings you here?

Did you come here to see me?

No, I came to eat jajangmyeon.

What?

I said I came to eat jajangmyeon.

I'm thinking of confessing my feelings.

Do you like me?

Hey, Ik-jun.

Did you see this?

It's about a girl.

I knew it. He's been single for too long.

Seok-hyeong,
is it a crime to get a divorce?

Just drink some beer, man.
Gosh, you're so frustrating.

Hey, you got nothing?

Just tell me.

Is there anyone you're interested in?

There is.

Who?

I forgot that Jeong-won
has been staying at my house.

Really? Invite me to your home.

Yes, let's pick a day. Today?

There's nothing wrong with her, right?
Is she okay?

Yes, everything looks good.

I'll make sure
her surgery doesn't hurt at all.

Don't worry about it.

I'll do my best.

She was fine when I checked
during my afternoon round.

I need your help, sir.

-I brought three bags of RBC.
-Spread this part.

-Great. Keep suctioning.
-Bring more blood.

You must save him.
If you don't, I'll kill you.

Please save him, doctor.
