Doctor Cha (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript
DOCTOR CHA
Doesn't love change?
It did so for you.
So?
Is that why you're
hanging around my wife?
So what if I am?
What?
Would you look at
this ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ scumbag?
Hey!
Don't curse at me!
I called you
what you deserve to be called!
Hey, what are you two doing?
We should be the
ones fighting, not you!
You bastard!
What are you doing?
This is a hospital, you two!
Why are you being like this?
Don't bite him like a coward!
You'll get hurt.
- Your nose is bleeding!
- Your nose is bleeding!
Aren't you guys doctors
at this hospital?
That's dangerous.
Don't do it!
Professor Seo.
- This is a hospital!
- Wait.
- You two must be crazy!
- Come on!
Can't you see
you're in a hospital?
- This is all your fault.
- Do you want to get hit?
- Let go.
- Do you want to get hit?
- I'll hit you twice.
- Three times.
- Do you want to be hit four times?
- This is all your fault.
This is all your fault!
Let go of my hair!
All of you, stop!
My back.
We were fighting because of Bong-suk,
but why were you two…
Have you two lost it?
Is this how you should
act in a hospital?
What's with you? I thought you were
all about maintaining your image.
Have you completely
lost your mind?
Dr. Kim, you too.
There are already rumors
about how we're in a love triangle.
Are you trying to give people more things
to gossip about?
How could the two of you
be so thoughtless and immature?
How could you lose control
of your emotions and let this happen?
Dr. Cha, I'm sorry.
I have no excuses to give.
We'll just say that we fought
because we don't get along.
- Are you serious? You're the one who...
- Enough!
But why are you sleeping
in someone else's house?
You should be embarrassed.
Why should I be
embarrassed? For what?
There are others too.
Dr. Jeon and Chief Resident Hwang
are there too.
I guess you only
see indecent things.
What on earth are you imagining?
Thanks for bringing it up.
What do you think?
Put yourself in my shoes.
That isn't possible. I never cheated
on anyone in the first place.
And I don't have
a secret love child.
Come here, you
♪♪♪♪♪♪♪! Damn it!
For goodness' sake!
You dodged my
blow? You little…
Jeez.
Gosh.
Calm down.
It hurts.
Come on, why are you pushing
yourself like this?
GUSAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
The baby is being
discharged tomorrow.
Really? That's great.
- Did you think of a name yet?
- Li-ji.
"Li-ji"?
Short for
"Little Ji-seon."
I heard it's a trend to use
English-sounding names.
- The baby is pretty, right?
- Yes, she's so pretty.
She already looks at me,
and sometimes she even smiles.
But I heard that's not a real smile,
just some kind of reflex.
She's so cute.
What's wrong?
Are you in pain?
Yes. My stomach
keeps hurting.
- Maybe it's time for me to die.
- Don't say things like that.
Go to the ER, okay?
Can't you just take a look?
Well, that wouldn't be right.
Then go to the Family Medicine Department
and get examined there, okay?
Which professor is doing
outpatient appointments today again?
- Does your stomach hurt a lot?
- It's better than before.
It hasn't been long
since you've given birth,
so even a small symptom
can progress to a serious illness.
I see.
And I am worried since you have
an issue with your colon as well.
I think it might be
an intestinal obstruction.
I think you should be admitted
and monitored.
Admitted?
Don't be so obvious.
Finish your job
before you collapse.
Seo Jung-min speaking.
Yes, I'll go there right away.
Are you okay?
My baby is being discharged tomorrow.
We have to go home together.
Then you should have said
that you didn't want to be admitted.
The doctor said she should be admitted,
and she agreed to it on impulse.
Doctor, please let
me be discharged.
Our professor requested a consultation
with the Surgery Department.
We'll hear what the doctor there
has to say before discharging you.
He's here.
Dr. Seo, you came?
Hello.
Yes, it is that patient.
She came to Family Medicine
due to abdominal pain.
She has symptoms of
nausea and vomiting.
It's not severe,
and she has bowel movements.
Rebound?
It's kind of borderline.
It doesn't seem
like appendicitis
or a symptom
related to the colon.
And I suspect
there might be a little ileus.
Okay.
Then I'll give her that explanation
and discharge her.
There's a condition
called acute abdomen.
It occurs when the stomach or intestines
rupture and peritonitis occurs.
Your symptoms right now aren't
exactly acute abdomen symptoms,
but we can't rule out
the possibility either.
The professor wants you
to be admitted if possible,
or at the very least take
a CT scan to check things.
There's a possibility
your abdominal symptoms will worsen
if you leave the hospital.
If peritonitis or perforation
in your stomach or intestines occurs,
then it might be difficult
to perform surgery.
But if you insist on going home,
you should skip a few meals.
If your condition improves,
you can have food that's easy to digest.
And always keep
your stomach warm.
Okay, I'll do that.
It's natural that a cancer patient
feels pain sometimes.
- Bye.
- But, Dr. Seo,
are you sick?
You look sicker than I do.
I'm fine.
Dr. Seo, do you want to see
a picture of my baby?
She's adorable.
MOCK EXAM RESULTS
I took all my stuff
from the art academy.
Get a refund on the
fees for this month.
The rounds are done, right?
You all can go.
Dr. Cha, can I
have a word?
When will you decide?
- What?
- You need to decide
whether you'll get a divorce or not
so I can plan my next move.
- You must have lost your mind.
- No, I'm completely fine.
My feelings are clearer
now than ever before.
I hate seeing you.
It's annoying to
see you at the hospital every day,
to the point of
driving me crazy.
So hurry up and leave.
Choi Seung-hi.
Are you really
the impressive woman I used to know?
I'm disappointed
because I thought you'd be different.
Were you always
this low and vulgar?
I'm doing this to avoid
being low and vulgar.
Ever since you
began working here,
I had to live in silence like a sinner
whenever I saw you.
But I won't live
like that anymore
and I won't stand my daughter
being treated like some sinner too.
You've got to be kidding me.
So this is how you act
despite being aware that you are a sinner?
Sure, thanks for
bringing this up.
During college, when I got pregnant
and married In-ho,
you…
looked at me with such loathing
until we graduated.
You disregarded me and looked at me
with such disdain that it was humiliating.
You didn't allow me to forget
my wrongdoing until we graduated.
But you find it unfair that you were
treated like a sinner for a few months?
Are you that angry that your daughter
has to start college a year late?
This doesn't make things fair.
Sure, if you don't want to quit,
keep working here.
But in return,
while I'm receiving my training,
you'll have a constant reminder
of what you've done
every time you look at my face.
Then can I take
back what's mine?
The happy family you maintained
for over 20 years,
the very thing
you stole from me?
You lunatic.
Watch what you
say. I'm your advisor.
- Know your place.
- How unfortunate.
That's all you can
say to me now, right?
Right?
Is your goal to torture me?
Or is it Seo In-ho?
I don't have to
explain anything to you.
Stop dragging
this out and decide.
I already said this,
but I'm not quitting this hospital.
So if anything, you quit.
Or expose everything
and see what will happen afterward!
Aren't you even
curious about Eun-seo?
She'll probably fail
to go to college this year!
She can't draw and
she quit her academy.
And they don't know how long
it'll take for her to recover!
Say something!
Is that why you
went to Jeong-suk?
Yes, and I'm not
quitting this hospital.
If she can't take it,
she should leave instead of me.
I'm not backing down anymore.
I'm getting back what was mine.
Why? Can I not?
Can't I just have
a regular family?
Does Eun-seo have to live
without a father forever?
Seung-hi, I don't
know if this is right.
Looking at how
things turned out,
we could be
fated for each other.
Let's talk after work.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER
Excuse me, please show me
Yoo Ji-seon's CT scan.
Gosh.
This is a report
about a patient in the ER.
She is a 21-year-old woman
with whole abdomen DT and RT.
Her WBC is up to 18,000,
her hemoglobin is up to 8.5,
and her CRP is up to 56
according to her labs.
And free air has been observed
in her chest PA.
The CT scan shows
perforation of a gastric ulcer
and a lot of fluid buildup in her
peritoneum and bowel material soiling.
Shouldn't you report this to
the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department?
Most of the professors are at a conference
and thus out of office.
And the ones remaining
are in the middle of surgeries.
You're the professor
on duty today,
I came to you because
it was so urgent.
Her vitals?
Her BP is 90 over 50,
and heart rate is 105.
Her fever is at 38.1°.
- Is a vasopressor agent being used?
- Yes, a central line was inserted
to administer a low
dosage of dopamine.
And she's been
given 500cc of fluid.
What's the patient's name?
Yoo Ji-seon.
Get an anesthesiologist, secure an OR,
and get a consent form.
Warn the guardians
about the situation.
I'll go straight to the OR.
Okay, thank you.
Jeez, the smell.
It was like this
for longer than I thought.
The lesions are too
severe for an ulcer.
Isn't this perforated cancer?
I can feel small nodules
on her abdominal wall.
I think it's peritoneal seeding.
Isn't this a patient with colon cancer
that metastasized to the liver?
Has it metastasized
to the stomach?
Rather than metastasis
to the stomach,
it's a gastric cancer perforation
with peritoneal seeding.
Then it is a double
primary cancer?
We'll need to do a
biopsy to be sure.
The situation is really bad,
but let's give it a shot.
Prepare a lot of
warm saline irrigation.
Contact the Pathology Department
for a biopsy.
Okay.
Have you eaten?
Like you even care.
Choi Seung-hi said
I should quit and divorce you.
She seemed to want
to settle down with you.
Do you feel the same?
Would you two be
happy if I bow out?
What are you on about?
I have no intention of doing that.
I don't care.
I don't care
if you two settle down or not.
Just don't get on my nerves.
Don't drive me crazier
than I already am.
Give me some time.
I'll end things.
Seung-hi, I have
something to say.
Say it. Just don't say
that we should break up.
If you say that,
I'm going to kill you.
I'm sorry.
I really have no words.
Shut up.
I'll do my best for Eun-seo.
But I need to go back…
to where I belong.
My life went off track
because of my own mistakes,
but I think it's time
to set things right.
I don't think I'll
get another chance.
I know this is cruel to you,
and I'm so sorry.
But this could be
the best for you too.
Think of it like that.
You're…
abandoning me again?
You can live a
better life without me.
You're the only one
who doesn't see that like a fool.
Why are you
deciding that for me?
Do you know
how lonely I was this whole time?
Do you really not
know how much Eun-seo
needs a father?
Even if you go back,
you won't be treated
like you were before.
They'll be hard on you
until the day you die.
I know.
But you are still going back?
Do you love your wife?
I…
rely on her a lot.
When I think about it,
I depended on her a lot
when we had the kids
at such a young age
and when my father was sick.
So I want to spend
the rest of my life
asking for her forgiveness.
So now you're saying
you've depended on your wife?
Ask for forgiveness?
If you had any conscience,
you wouldn't say that.
You don't have a right
to be saying those things.
If things end between us,
I'll be the one to end them.
If you say something
like this again,
it'll be me who exposes everything,
not your wife.
- Do you understand?
- Seung-hi.
Don't be so obstinate.
You horrible bastard.
You cowardly jerk.
You piece of trash.
- Hello, Doctor.
- Hello.
What is it?
Tell me in detail.
Are you here for Jung-min?
He's not at work
and he's not answering his phone.
I came here thinking
he might be home.
- What about Mother?
- She's not here.
I-rang isn't back
from her academy.
How weak of him.
How dare he try to hide
instead of fixing this mess?
This isn't the time
to be saying that.
I'm just upset, that's all!
Yes, hello.
Hello, ma'am.
Did you know that
I-rang's mock exam grades have come out?
Yes.
But I haven't been
able to check them yet.
Her national rank fell
by a lot this time around.
And I-rang is feeling
very discouraged.
And on top of that…
Yes.
Yes, of course.
Yes, okay.
Thank you.
Was that I-rang's
homeroom teacher?
What did she say?
Her mock exam
grades fell by a lot.
See, I knew this would happen!
She slacked off
now that she's pursuing art.
I told you she shouldn't slack off
even if she changes her academic path!
Whose fault is this?
I-rang doesn't
talk at school lately.
The teacher asked me
if something is going on at home.
Do you not understand
what caused all this?
There's no time for
this. Get changed.
We have to go somewhere.
I am so deeply
sorry for your loss.
The doctor who neglected my daughter
is your son, is he not?
How come you two are here
instead of your son who killed my child?
You thought you could leave her to die
just because she was terminally ill?
This is medical malpractice!
I'm going to sue all of you!
I'm going to sue you
and see that you all go to jail!
Enough, stop it.
Ji-seon can hear you.
I'm saying it so
she does hear me!
How can you discharge a sick patient
without saying a word to her guardian?
This is clearly medical malpractice.
Take responsibility!
Gosh, I feel so bad for our Ji-seon.
What do we do?
How shameless of you to come!
Bring that doctor
here right now!
Gosh, our poor Ji-seon.
How will you take responsibility
for what happened to Ji-seon?
How?
Don't just sit
there, say something!
- What do we do for our poor Ji-seon?
- Darn it.
SEO JUNG-MIN
- Dr. Jeon.
- Yes?
The patient Hong Seo-hui wants to see you
because her pain is severe.
Okay, I'll go there now.
Dr. Jeon, I saw Dr. Seo
Jung-min earlier.
Where?
Family Medicine requested
a consultation with our department
regarding that patient, right?
When was that?
The day she was discharged.
Who was the doctor in charge?
A third-year named Park Ji-yeon.
She's our chief resident.
- Why?
- I'm just checking the facts.
We need to check
who should be held accountable.
Your department might've
misdiagnosed her in the first place.
Did you see the chart?
I did.
We asked General Surgery to take a look
before discharging her.
And Jung-min came
and said she could be discharged.
I know this hurts,
but Jung-min is at fault here.
At the very least,
tests should have been run.
So why are you talking
about accountability?
Still, we need to make it so that
this was a mistake by your department.
So that the worst won't happen
to Jung-min.
Choi Seung-hi was in charge.
If you keep making
an issue of this,
Seung-hi might become
embroiled in this too.
I broke up with Seung-hi.
As if.
To be exact,
we're in the middle of breaking up.
I'll resolve Jung-min's predicament,
so don't worry.
And if you do break up?
That makes it okay
to do this to her?
This is for my son.
This is hilarious.
Why do I suddenly
feel bad for Seung-hi?
I can't just sit back and watch
Jung-min hit rock bottom.
So don't say anything.
They found Jung-min.
I'll take care of I-rang.
You go meet with Jung-min
and make him come to his senses.
Right now, Jung-min needs you
more than he needs me.
What about us?
What's going to happen to us?
Jeong-suk.
Can't you forgive me?
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE
THE LATE YOO JI-SEON
Before…
I started my residency,
I almost died from
acute liver failure.
I was so bitter
about almost dying,
so I can't even imagine
the pain you are in…
after losing your own child.
I think
I might know why Ji-seon
wanted to give birth to her baby…
so badly.
So her mom and
dad wouldn't be lonely.
So they wouldn't
give up on life.
It was her own method
of providing her parents a way
to continue to live
through her child.
Ji-seon…
always seemed like she knew that
she was going to
leave like this one day.
So please understand her wishes.
Live happily with the angel
your daughter left behind.
And…
later on,
you'll meet her again.
Why…
aren't you asking me
to forgive your son?
I don't have the
right to ask you that.
ACCESSIBLE PARKING
DRIVER WITH DISABILITY
Did you apply
for your disability rating yet?
Disability rating?
But what's the point?
There aren't many benefits.
What are you talking about?
With parking so difficult these days,
it's great to park
in a disabled parking space.
The spot is great too.
Jeong-suk can't come today.
I know.
You know, and yet you keep looking around
thinking she might show up.
What?
- Well…
- If you don't have plans today,
how about an afternoon drink
after the run?
This is about the time
when our true selves need to come out.
I'm all about give and take.
With that in mind,
I'll tell you a secret.
But can I ask you
something in return?
Okay.
You're good-looking.
I've actually run
a full marathon.
I finished nine of them.
You didn't know, right?
You probably had no idea.
I acted my heart out
if I do say so myself.
Okay, your turn.
Do you like Jeong-suk?
But I already knew
you completed a full marathon.
Your posture
and breathing were too stable.
Darn it.
Then I'll tell you
a different secret.
I joined this crew
because I was interested in you.
But now, it's
totally not like that.
Now you're just a
fellow crew member.
Okay, now it's
your turn to talk.
About Jeong-suk.
I…
I flunked the mock exam.
I heard.
I really wanted to show Dad.
That I chose art school
not because I couldn't go to med school.
I wanted to prove that.
I'm so annoyed.
You should be
studying for yourself.
Not to rebel against someone.
Mom.
That was so cliché.
No way.
I'd rather have you yell at me
for failing the exam.
How can I yell at you guys
after giving you all that stress?
Resolving these situations
won't be easy.
But I'll resolve it
in the most peaceful way possible.
So that you two and I will suffer
the least amount of damage possible.
I saw it on TV,
but you raised
me way too freely.
Are you criticizing me by saying
the way I raised you was wrong?
Look at you.
You're really not holding back
now that you're all grown-up, are you?
Thankfully, Dad was
the complete opposite,
so I ended up being
only moderately spoiled.
If not, I might've become
a complete delinquent.
A delinquent?
Jeez.
I…
wanted my kids to
be a little immature as they grew up.
I would always be there
when you came home,
and if you wanted something,
you'd badger me for it.
I never got a
chance to be like that.
So simply put, the way I raised you
was totally intentional.
Then you achieved your goal.
Of course. Look, I
raised you freely,
and that helped you
find your own path.
That is true.
But I still don't understand.
I wonder who you take after
to draw so well?
This patient was admitted to our hospital
for colon cancer surgery.
The primary cause
we're looking at is old age.
And based on our investigation,
given the patient's old age,
the eating habits
that had continued until now
were extremely lacking
in dietary fiber.
The patient also
consumed a lot of foods
that were high in fat as well as a lot
of refined and processed foods.
So we are looking
at that as the cause.
- Where on earth...
- Don't say that!
I'm not saying you
should coddle him.
Just don't trample all over him.
I'm sorry.
When I was on night duty in the ER
as a first-year,
three patients from a car crash
came in at the same time.
All of their vitals were unstable,
and they were all gushing out blood.
It was an extremely critical situation,
but we didn't have many doctors.
I thought I would have to declare
all of them dead at that rate.
But thankfully two of them
received surgery in time and survived.
What about the other one?
There were only two
options in my head.
One was to wait for a professor
who could perform surgery.
The other was to transfer them.
I decided to transfer them
to a different hospital.
But during the transfer,
the patient went into cardiac arrest
and was pronounced DOA.
If I had waited, wouldn't the patient
have received surgery?
Then wouldn't the
patient have lived?
Those were some
of the thoughts I had.
That's when I realized.
That a doctor's judgment
determines whether a patient
will live or die.
Jung-min.
The fact is that the patient died.
There's no denying that.
Yes.
If you want to be a good doctor,
you can't avoid this situation.
If you want to
protest, then do so.
If you made a mistake,
admit it and ask for forgiveness.
Don't forget your mistake
and learn from it.
So that you can make
the right judgments.
So that you can
help even more people.
That's how we all
become doctors.
Okay.
I don't know
if you'll agree with me on this,
but you definitely…
have sides to you
that are better than me.
Are you okay?
No.
If I could,
I want to just disappear.
As you already know,
I'm not great with words.
And…
there are no words right now
that will make you feel better.
But I can promise you this.
Until you find a way
to get back on your feet,
I'll stay by your side
if you allow me to.
Her family is
threatening to sue.
The hospital will
respond accordingly,
but since Jung-min was the one
who discharged her,
the family is
finding fault with that.
Jung-min needs to try to make an effort
to come to an agreement.
It may seem unfair in your position,
but what can be done?
It'd be best to settle things
before this situation grows any bigger.
I fully understand
what you are saying.
But I still think this situation needs
to be looked into more carefully.
Professor Seo In-ho
is trying to pin this medical accident
on our department.
Since this involves his son,
he's dead set on making sure
our department takes the fall for it.
Jeez, you didn't know?
Professor Seo?
He's brazenly trying
to force a lie on everyone.
That patient
was your patient,
Professor Choi.
Defend yourself.
Otherwise, you might end up
on the chopping block.
Professor Kim.
Can't eat, right?
I guess not.
You were due for a
checkup, you know.
Right.
I had some medication
left, so I forgot.
- I should go.
- You have some left,
which means you
forgot to take them.
That's not true.
The one thing I do for sure
is take my medication regularly.
Are you going to keep lying?
Actually, I forgot a couple of times
and didn't take them.
You're not eating
or taking your medication.
This won't do.
I'll wait until you finish your meal.
There's no need
for that, Professor.
Dr. Cha.
Take just half of the energy you use
on others and use it for yourself.
If you continue to neglect
taking care of yourself,
something really bad may happen.
I have the right to nag you.
Of course. I'll take my medication
regularly starting now.
And I'll eat well too.
Thank you for worrying about me.
Professor Seo.
I heard you were blaming our department
for the cancer patient.
The patient was admitted
and discharged by Family Medicine,
so you should take responsibility
if something occurs.
How is that
our department's responsibility?
We requested a consultation,
and your department took one look
and discharged her right away.
We did?
Hey, Seo In-ho!
I know that your resident
called my resident
confirming that you gave the okay
for the patient's discharge.
Do you really not know that?
She was discharged
before the official answer was closed.
Even if that was the case,
the official decision to discharge
is made by the department
that admitted her.
Technically, isn't she a patient
from your department?
That's why we asked for a consultation,
so your resident looked into her,
and you even gave the okay too.
If the surgery
department says so,
there's no reason for us
not to discharge her.
My resident seems
to have made some mistakes.
In that regard, I'll
give him a warning.
Giving him a warning
won't solve the issue here, will it?
I'm not sure.
If the records
were left in detail,
and he carried out
all the necessary duties,
then that means the patient
neglected his warning and went home.
Regarding the peritonitis, we actively
and aggressively performed surgery,
but it did not go well.
So it's hard to say
it's the hospital's fault.
Regardless, the fact that my department
is involved in this incident offends me.
Of course, Family
Medicine is involved.
Medical accidents can occur regardless
of someone's intention or wrongdoing.
But someone always
has to be held accountable.
So we need to officially decide
who is responsible.
If my department suffers
because of this...
If the patient was admitted
after seeing Family Medicine...
Regardless,
please take back what you said
about how Family Medicine
should be held responsible.
- What?
- I'll take it that you'll do as I asked.
You came again.
Actually,
I came because
I have something to tell you both.
The resident who discharged her
came before too.
He left after
crying on his knees.
But doing that won't
bring our child back.
I want to explain to you
why your daughter died.
I don't want to hear
it, so please leave.
Why are you here at this hour
out of the blue?
Is something wrong?
What could be wrong?
I just came to sleep over.
Are you sure nothing is wrong?
I'm telling you,
nothing's wrong.
I came here after the group dinner
because I missed you so much.
MS. OH DEOK-RYE
Yes, Ms. Oh.
It's been a while.
To what do I owe this pleasure?
I just called to
see how things are.
I was using the
cosmetics you gave me,
and I wondered if you were well,
and how you feel
after your surgery.
I see.
Gosh, thanks to
you, I'm doing so well.
There's nothing wrong with In-ho
or Jeong-suk, right?
In truth, Jeong-suk
looked so down the last time I saw her
that it's been bothering me.
Gosh.
The work at the
hospital is hard.
Right.
As a matter of fact, there was a place
I wanted to go with you.
Do you have time today?
Today?
This is a very famous
Korean medical clinic.
After taking the
medicine I got here,
I regained my strength.
Ms. Oh Deok-rye.
- Yes.
- Yes.
PROFESSOR PARK HO-WON

Your pulse is irregular.
Your blood density as it flows
into your blood vessels is low,
and it doesn't
flow smoothly either.
In particular, the pulse tied
to your liver and stomach functions
have declined a lot.
You have inflammation
inside your body as well.
Am I that unwell?
You're lucky to be
alive and moving.
You probably haven't been able to sleep
and have a hard time eating.
Medicine is one thing,
but you should begin treatment right away.
VERITY KOREAN
MEDICAL CLINIC
That doctor is supposed
to be really talented.
How strange.
Don't be concerned.
It's just because I'm old.
I'll buy you a delicious dinner too.
What would you like to eat?
- You want to have dinner?
- Yes.
Ms. Kwak.
Do you not know what today is?
What day is it today?
It's not my birthday…
What could it be?
Do you have redder apples?
Of course. Are you preparing
for a memorial service?
Yes.
Who is it for?
My father-in-law.
Goodness, in this day and age?
You're a daughter-in-law
that's one in a million.
Thank you.
- Did you tell her to come?
- No.
I'm not that shameless.
How can I ask her to prepare
for my father's memorial service?
If she came on her own
to prepare all of this
for her father-in-law,
doesn't that mean
she forgives you?
Isn't this some
kind of silent message
that she's done with what she was doing
and coming back to the family?
That would be a relief.
Let's go help her
prepare the food today.
But I just got my nails done.
Please cooperate this time too!
In her eyes, you're
an accomplice.
Why am I an accomplice?
You're the one
who cheated, not me.
Good job on saying something
so blasphemous
on the anniversary
of your father's death.
It'll be lucky if
your father doesn't get indigestion
after eating the food today.
Jeong-suk.
Is there anything
I can help with?
Don't cut the radish too small
for the bean sprout soup.
Cut it long like this,
like a bean sprout.
- Like this?
- Yes.
The same goes for the chive
and scallion pancakes.
You can't cut the food
that will be offered into short pieces.
Jeez, but you already know
all this so well.
What's the point of me knowing?
I can't do this forever.
What?
Honey, can I
make them like this?
Watch carefully. Not in the middle,
but at the one-third point.
So the red side of the crab meat
can be seen from the front.
Okay.
Then a yellow radish.
Okay.
The same goes for the chives.
Make the broader side show from the front,
not the narrower side.
- I see.
- I see.
Mushrooms as well.
And next goes the ham.
That way the colors are pretty like this.
And then at the end,
one last piece of red crab meat.
Memorial services
are all about care.
You need to do it like this
so it looks good,
and so the egg, flour, and water
will stick properly and make it cook well.
- Use this one as an example and follow it.
- Okay.
It's a mere formality,
so don't put too much effort in.
What are you doing?
What?
I think
we should stop with
the memorial service.
We should just gather as a family
to pray and share a meal
on this day from now on.
Why all of a sudden?
We're Christians,
so your father must have
passed on to heaven.
So what is the point of this?
And it isn't right.
It's too much work on Jeong-suk's part.
Just look at today.
She just stood in the kitchen all day
and worked so hard.
You can do it next
year onwards, Mother.
As you already
know, I'm a bad cook.
Before you married into the family,
my mother-in-law took care of things.
Ever since you came,
you took care of everything so well.
So I never had the
time to learn to cook.
You can learn now.
- I can help too.
- Come on!
I'm saying I
don't want to do this anymore!
I don't understand why you want
to stop doing Father's memorial service.
Grandma, do you
have a boyfriend?
The thing is…
Yes, I have a person I'm seeing.
I don't know
how things will end up with him,
so continuing to hold
memorial services for your father
does make me uncomfortable.
So you're saying
you have a boyfriend?
Do you have marriage in mind?
Why?
Is there a reason I can't?
I'm single.
To think she has a
boyfriend at that age.
This is absurd.
I don't know if
you're grasping this,
but you're going to get yourself
a new father-in-law.
Head to your
room. I'll do it alone.
No, I was too inattentive with the chores.
I'll help out the best I can from now on.
Sure, learning this
will be good for you.
Since I won't be here anymore.
What is that supposed to mean?
This is the last memorial service
I'll prepare.
Let's…
get a divorce.
Divorce?
I saw your car
in the hospital parking lot.
You had the disability
sticker I received,
and you parked your car
right in front of the hospital entrance
where the accessible parking is.
DRIVER WITH DISABILITY
ACCESSIBLE PARKING
You put my disability
sticker on your car…
and drove around Seung-hi.
The thought of
that made me laugh.
The fact that I lived my life
caring for and putting
this lousy guy on a pedestal
made me feel so
pathetic and stupid.
And then suddenly,
I had this thought.
All of this isn't
just your fault.
Your mother failed
to teach you right from wrong.
And I was so permissive
in every single regard.
Our responsibility
in this isn't any less.
I'd like to make a report.
Someone is illegally parked
in an accessible parking spot.
The driver has
a disability sticker on his car.
But he's nondisabled.
Yes.
I've made my decision.
I think the time has come
when it'll be okay if we're just Jung-min
and I-rang's parents.
As the father of my children,
I can let things slide.
But…
as my husband,
you no longer…
hold any meaning to me.
I don't want to
hate you anymore.
I just don't feel the need
to hate you anymore.
It's already over…
between the two of us.
I want to be liberated
from this hell.
Let's split up.
Let's get a divorce.
Don't put on an act.
Get up.
Get up!
Honey.
Honey, open
your eyes. Come on.
Honey.
In-ho!
What's with you?
In-ho, open your eyes.
Honey!
Honey, please wake up!

GUSAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
The baby is being
discharged tomorrow.
Really? That's great.
- Did you think of a name yet?
- Li-ji.
"Li-ji"?
Short for
"Little Ji-seon."
I heard it's a trend to use
English-sounding names.
- The baby is pretty, right?
- Yes, she's so pretty.
She already looks at me,
and sometimes she even smiles.
But I heard that's not a real smile,
just some kind of reflex.
She's so cute.
What's wrong?
Are you in pain?
Yes. My stomach
keeps hurting.
- Maybe it's time for me to die.
- Don't say things like that.
Go to the ER, okay?
Can't you just take a look?
Well, that wouldn't be right.
Then go to the Family Medicine Department
and get examined there, okay?
Which professor is doing
outpatient appointments today again?
- Does your stomach hurt a lot?
- It's better than before.
It hasn't been long
since you've given birth,
so even a small symptom
can progress to a serious illness.
I see.
And I am worried since you have
an issue with your colon as well.
I think it might be
an intestinal obstruction.
I think you should be admitted
and monitored.
Admitted?
Don't be so obvious.
Finish your job
before you collapse.
Seo Jung-min speaking.
Yes, I'll go there right away.
Are you okay?
My baby is being discharged tomorrow.
We have to go home together.
Then you should have said
that you didn't want to be admitted.
The doctor said she should be admitted,
and she agreed to it on impulse.
Doctor, please let
me be discharged.
Our professor requested a consultation
with the Surgery Department.
We'll hear what the doctor there
has to say before discharging you.
He's here.
Dr. Seo, you came?
Hello.
Yes, it is that patient.
She came to Family Medicine
due to abdominal pain.
She has symptoms of
nausea and vomiting.
It's not severe,
and she has bowel movements.
Rebound?
It's kind of borderline.
It doesn't seem
like appendicitis
or a symptom
related to the colon.
And I suspect
there might be a little ileus.
Okay.
Then I'll give her that explanation
and discharge her.
There's a condition
called acute abdomen.
It occurs when the stomach or intestines
rupture and peritonitis occurs.
Your symptoms right now aren't
exactly acute abdomen symptoms,
but we can't rule out
the possibility either.
The professor wants you
to be admitted if possible,
or at the very least take
a CT scan to check things.
There's a possibility
your abdominal symptoms will worsen
if you leave the hospital.
If peritonitis or perforation
in your stomach or intestines occurs,
then it might be difficult
to perform surgery.
But if you insist on going home,
you should skip a few meals.
If your condition improves,
you can have food that's easy to digest.
And always keep
your stomach warm.
Okay, I'll do that.
It's natural that a cancer patient
feels pain sometimes.
- Bye.
- But, Dr. Seo,
are you sick?
You look sicker than I do.
I'm fine.
Dr. Seo, do you want to see
a picture of my baby?
She's adorable.
MOCK EXAM RESULTS
I took all my stuff
from the art academy.
Get a refund on the
fees for this month.
The rounds are done, right?
You all can go.
Dr. Cha, can I
have a word?
When will you decide?
- What?
- You need to decide
whether you'll get a divorce or not
so I can plan my next move.
- You must have lost your mind.
- No, I'm completely fine.
My feelings are clearer
now than ever before.
I hate seeing you.
It's annoying to
see you at the hospital every day,
to the point of
driving me crazy.
So hurry up and leave.
Choi Seung-hi.
Are you really
the impressive woman I used to know?
I'm disappointed
because I thought you'd be different.
Were you always
this low and vulgar?
I'm doing this to avoid
being low and vulgar.
Ever since you
began working here,
I had to live in silence like a sinner
whenever I saw you.
But I won't live
like that anymore
and I won't stand my daughter
being treated like some sinner too.
You've got to be kidding me.
So this is how you act
despite being aware that you are a sinner?
Sure, thanks for
bringing this up.
During college, when I got pregnant
and married In-ho,
you…
looked at me with such loathing
until we graduated.
You disregarded me and looked at me
with such disdain that it was humiliating.
You didn't allow me to forget
my wrongdoing until we graduated.
But you find it unfair that you were
treated like a sinner for a few months?
Are you that angry that your daughter
has to start college a year late?
This doesn't make things fair.
Sure, if you don't want to quit,
keep working here.
But in return,
while I'm receiving my training,
you'll have a constant reminder
of what you've done
every time you look at my face.
Then can I take
back what's mine?
The happy family you maintained
for over 20 years,
the very thing
you stole from me?
You lunatic.
Watch what you
say. I'm your advisor.
- Know your place.
- How unfortunate.
That's all you can
say to me now, right?
Right?
Is your goal to torture me?
Or is it Seo In-ho?
I don't have to
explain anything to you.
Stop dragging
this out and decide.
I already said this,
but I'm not quitting this hospital.
So if anything, you quit.
Or expose everything
and see what will happen afterward!
Aren't you even
curious about Eun-seo?
She'll probably fail
to go to college this year!
She can't draw and
she quit her academy.
And they don't know how long
it'll take for her to recover!
Say something!
Is that why you
went to Jeong-suk?
Yes, and I'm not
quitting this hospital.
If she can't take it,
she should leave instead of me.
I'm not backing down anymore.
I'm getting back what was mine.
Why? Can I not?
Can't I just have
a regular family?
Does Eun-seo have to live
without a father forever?
Seung-hi, I don't
know if this is right.
Looking at how
things turned out,
we could be
fated for each other.
Let's talk after work.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER
Excuse me, please show me
Yoo Ji-seon's CT scan.
Gosh.
This is a report
about a patient in the ER.
She is a 21-year-old woman
with whole abdomen DT and RT.
Her WBC is up to 18,000,
her hemoglobin is up to 8.5,
and her CRP is up to 56
according to her labs.
And free air has been observed
in her chest PA.
The CT scan shows
perforation of a gastric ulcer
and a lot of fluid buildup in her
peritoneum and bowel material soiling.
Shouldn't you report this to
the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department?
Most of the professors are at a conference
and thus out of office.
And the ones remaining
are in the middle of surgeries.
You're the professor
on duty today,
I came to you because
it was so urgent.
Her vitals?
Her BP is 90 over 50,
and heart rate is 105.
Her fever is at 38.1°.
- Is a vasopressor agent being used?
- Yes, a central line was inserted
to administer a low
dosage of dopamine.
And she's been
given 500cc of fluid.
What's the patient's name?
Yoo Ji-seon.
Get an anesthesiologist, secure an OR,
and get a consent form.
Warn the guardians
about the situation.
I'll go straight to the OR.
Okay, thank you.
Jeez, the smell.
It was like this
for longer than I thought.
The lesions are too
severe for an ulcer.
Isn't this perforated cancer?
I can feel small nodules
on her abdominal wall.
I think it's peritoneal seeding.
Isn't this a patient with colon cancer
that metastasized to the liver?
Has it metastasized
to the stomach?
Rather than metastasis
to the stomach,
it's a gastric cancer perforation
with peritoneal seeding.
Then it is a double
primary cancer?
We'll need to do a
biopsy to be sure.
The situation is really bad,
but let's give it a shot.
Prepare a lot of
warm saline irrigation.
Contact the Pathology Department
for a biopsy.
Okay.
Have you eaten?
Like you even care.
Choi Seung-hi said
I should quit and divorce you.
She seemed to want
to settle down with you.
Do you feel the same?
Would you two be
happy if I bow out?
What are you on about?
I have no intention of doing that.
I don't care.
I don't care
if you two settle down or not.
Just don't get on my nerves.
Don't drive me crazier
than I already am.
Give me some time.
I'll end things.
Seung-hi, I have
something to say.
Say it. Just don't say
that we should break up.
If you say that,
I'm going to kill you.
I'm sorry.
I really have no words.
Shut up.
I'll do my best for Eun-seo.
But I need to go back…
to where I belong.
My life went off track
because of my own mistakes,
but I think it's time
to set things right.
I don't think I'll
get another chance.
I know this is cruel to you,
and I'm so sorry.
But this could be
the best for you too.
Think of it like that.
You're…
abandoning me again?
You can live a
better life without me.
You're the only one
who doesn't see that like a fool.
Why are you
deciding that for me?
Do you know
how lonely I was this whole time?
Do you really not
know how much Eun-seo
needs a father?
Even if you go back,
you won't be treated
like you were before.
They'll be hard on you
until the day you die.
I know.
But you are still going back?
Do you love your wife?
I…
rely on her a lot.
When I think about it,
I depended on her a lot
when we had the kids
at such a young age
and when my father was sick.
So I want to spend
the rest of my life
asking for her forgiveness.
So now you're saying
you've depended on your wife?
Ask for forgiveness?
If you had any conscience,
you wouldn't say that.
You don't have a right
to be saying those things.
If things end between us,
I'll be the one to end them.
If you say something
like this again,
it'll be me who exposes everything,
not your wife.
- Do you understand?
- Seung-hi.
Don't be so obstinate.
You horrible bastard.
You cowardly jerk.
You piece of trash.
- Hello, Doctor.
- Hello.
What is it?
Tell me in detail.
Are you here for Jung-min?
He's not at work
and he's not answering his phone.
I came here thinking
he might be home.
- What about Mother?
- She's not here.
I-rang isn't back
from her academy.
How weak of him.
How dare he try to hide
instead of fixing this mess?
This isn't the time
to be saying that.
I'm just upset, that's all!
Yes, hello.
Hello, ma'am.
Did you know that
I-rang's mock exam grades have come out?
Yes.
But I haven't been
able to check them yet.
Her national rank fell
by a lot this time around.
And I-rang is feeling
very discouraged.
And on top of that…
Yes.
Yes, of course.
Yes, okay.
Thank you.
Was that I-rang's
homeroom teacher?
What did she say?
Her mock exam
grades fell by a lot.
See, I knew this would happen!
She slacked off
now that she's pursuing art.
I told you she shouldn't slack off
even if she changes her academic path!
Whose fault is this?
I-rang doesn't
talk at school lately.
The teacher asked me
if something is going on at home.
Do you not understand
what caused all this?
There's no time for
this. Get changed.
We have to go somewhere.
I am so deeply
sorry for your loss.
The doctor who neglected my daughter
is your son, is he not?
How come you two are here
instead of your son who killed my child?
You thought you could leave her to die
just because she was terminally ill?
This is medical malpractice!
I'm going to sue all of you!
I'm going to sue you
and see that you all go to jail!
Enough, stop it.
Ji-seon can hear you.
I'm saying it so
she does hear me!
How can you discharge a sick patient
without saying a word to her guardian?
This is clearly medical malpractice.
Take responsibility!
Gosh, I feel so bad for our Ji-seon.
What do we do?
How shameless of you to come!
Bring that doctor
here right now!
Gosh, our poor Ji-seon.
How will you take responsibility
for what happened to Ji-seon?
How?
Don't just sit
there, say something!
- What do we do for our poor Ji-seon?
- Darn it.
SEO JUNG-MIN
- Dr. Jeon.
- Yes?
The patient Hong Seo-hui wants to see you
because her pain is severe.
Okay, I'll go there now.
Dr. Jeon, I saw Dr. Seo
Jung-min earlier.
Where?
Family Medicine requested
a consultation with our department
regarding that patient, right?
When was that?
The day she was discharged.
Who was the doctor in charge?
A third-year named Park Ji-yeon.
She's our chief resident.
- Why?
- I'm just checking the facts.
We need to check
who should be held accountable.
Your department might've
misdiagnosed her in the first place.
Did you see the chart?
I did.
We asked General Surgery to take a look
before discharging her.
And Jung-min came
and said she could be discharged.
I know this hurts,
but Jung-min is at fault here.
At the very least,
tests should have been run.
So why are you talking
about accountability?
Still, we need to make it so that
this was a mistake by your department.
So that the worst won't happen
to Jung-min.
Choi Seung-hi was in charge.
If you keep making
an issue of this,
Seung-hi might become
embroiled in this too.
I broke up with Seung-hi.
As if.
To be exact,
we're in the middle of breaking up.
I'll resolve Jung-min's predicament,
so don't worry.
And if you do break up?
That makes it okay
to do this to her?
This is for my son.
This is hilarious.
Why do I suddenly
feel bad for Seung-hi?
I can't just sit back and watch
Jung-min hit rock bottom.
So don't say anything.
They found Jung-min.
I'll take care of I-rang.
You go meet with Jung-min
and make him come to his senses.
Right now, Jung-min needs you
more than he needs me.
What about us?
What's going to happen to us?
Jeong-suk.
Can't you forgive me?
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE
THE LATE YOO JI-SEON
Before…
I started my residency,
I almost died from
acute liver failure.
I was so bitter
about almost dying,
so I can't even imagine
the pain you are in…
after losing your own child.
I think
I might know why Ji-seon
wanted to give birth to her baby…
so badly.
So her mom and
dad wouldn't be lonely.
So they wouldn't
give up on life.
It was her own method
of providing her parents a way
to continue to live
through her child.
Ji-seon…
always seemed like she knew that
she was going to
leave like this one day.
So please understand her wishes.
Live happily with the angel
your daughter left behind.
And…
later on,
you'll meet her again.
Why…
aren't you asking me
to forgive your son?
I don't have the
right to ask you that.

DRIVER WITH DISABILITY
Did you apply
for your disability rating yet?
Disability rating?
But what's the point?
There aren't many benefits.
What are you talking about?
With parking so difficult these days,
it's great to park
in a disabled parking space.
The spot is great too.
Jeong-suk can't come today.
I know.
You know, and yet you keep looking around
thinking she might show up.
What?
- Well…
- If you don't have plans today,
how about an afternoon drink
after the run?
This is about the time
when our true selves need to come out.
I'm all about give and take.
With that in mind,
I'll tell you a secret.
But can I ask you
something in return?
Okay.
You're good-looking.
I've actually run
a full marathon.
I finished nine of them.
You didn't know, right?
You probably had no idea.
I acted my heart out
if I do say so myself.
Okay, your turn.
Do you like Jeong-suk?
But I already knew
you completed a full marathon.
Your posture
and breathing were too stable.
Darn it.
Then I'll tell you
a different secret.
I joined this crew
because I was interested in you.
But now, it's
totally not like that.
Now you're just a
fellow crew member.
Okay, now it's
your turn to talk.
About Jeong-suk.
I…
I flunked the mock exam.
I heard.
I really wanted to show Dad.
That I chose art school
not because I couldn't go to med school.
I wanted to prove that.
I'm so annoyed.
You should be
studying for yourself.
Not to rebel against someone.
Mom.
That was so cliché.
No way.
I'd rather have you yell at me
for failing the exam.
How can I yell at you guys
after giving you all that stress?
Resolving these situations
won't be easy.
But I'll resolve it
in the most peaceful way possible.
So that you two and I will suffer
the least amount of damage possible.
I saw it on TV,
but you raised
me way too freely.
Are you criticizing me by saying
the way I raised you was wrong?
Look at you.
You're really not holding back
now that you're all grown-up, are you?
Thankfully, Dad was
the complete opposite,
so I ended up being
only moderately spoiled.
If not, I might've become
a complete delinquent.
A delinquent?
Jeez.
I…
wanted my kids to
be a little immature as they grew up.
I would always be there
when you came home,
and if you wanted something,
you'd badger me for it.
I never got a
chance to be like that.
So simply put, the way I raised you
was totally intentional.
Then you achieved your goal.
Of course. Look, I
raised you freely,
and that helped you
find your own path.
That is true.
But I still don't understand.
I wonder who you take after
to draw so well?
This patient was admitted to our hospital
for colon cancer surgery.
The primary cause
we're looking at is old age.
And based on our investigation,
given the patient's old age,
the eating habits
that had continued until now
were extremely lacking
in dietary fiber.
The patient also
consumed a lot of foods
that were high in fat as well as a lot
of refined and processed foods.
So we are looking
at that as the cause.
- Where on earth...
- Don't say that!
I'm not saying you
should coddle him.
Just don't trample all over him.
I'm sorry.
When I was on night duty in the ER
as a first-year,
three patients from a car crash
came in at the same time.
All of their vitals were unstable,
and they were all gushing out blood.
It was an extremely critical situation,
but we didn't have many doctors.
I thought I would have to declare
all of them dead at that rate.
But thankfully two of them
received surgery in time and survived.
What about the other one?
There were only two
options in my head.
One was to wait for a professor
who could perform surgery.
The other was to transfer them.
I decided to transfer them
to a different hospital.
But during the transfer,
the patient went into cardiac arrest
and was pronounced DOA.
If I had waited, wouldn't the patient
have received surgery?
Then wouldn't the
patient have lived?
Those were some
of the thoughts I had.
That's when I realized.
That a doctor's judgment
determines whether a patient
will live or die.
Jung-min.
The fact is that the patient died.
There's no denying that.
Yes.
If you want to be a good doctor,
you can't avoid this situation.
If you want to
protest, then do so.
If you made a mistake,
admit it and ask for forgiveness.
Don't forget your mistake
and learn from it.
So that you can make
the right judgments.
So that you can
help even more people.
That's how we all
become doctors.
Okay.
I don't know
if you'll agree with me on this,
but you definitely…
have sides to you
that are better than me.
Are you okay?
No.
If I could,
I want to just disappear.
As you already know,
I'm not great with words.
And…
there are no words right now
that will make you feel better.
But I can promise you this.
Until you find a way
to get back on your feet,
I'll stay by your side
if you allow me to.
Her family is
threatening to sue.
The hospital will
respond accordingly,
but since Jung-min was the one
who discharged her,
the family is
finding fault with that.
Jung-min needs to try to make an effort
to come to an agreement.
It may seem unfair in your position,
but what can be done?
It'd be best to settle things
before this situation grows any bigger.
I fully understand
what you are saying.
But I still think this situation needs
to be looked into more carefully.
Professor Seo In-ho
is trying to pin this medical accident
on our department.
Since this involves his son,
he's dead set on making sure
our department takes the fall for it.
Jeez, you didn't know?
Professor Seo?
He's brazenly trying
to force a lie on everyone.
That patient
was your patient,
Professor Choi.
Defend yourself.
Otherwise, you might end up
on the chopping block.
Professor Kim.
Can't eat, right?
I guess not.
You were due for a
checkup, you know.
Right.
I had some medication
left, so I forgot.
- I should go.
- You have some left,
which means you
forgot to take them.
That's not true.
The one thing I do for sure
is take my medication regularly.
Are you going to keep lying?
Actually, I forgot a couple of times
and didn't take them.
You're not eating
or taking your medication.
This won't do.
I'll wait until you finish your meal.
There's no need
for that, Professor.
Dr. Cha.
Take just half of the energy you use
on others and use it for yourself.
If you continue to neglect
taking care of yourself,
something really bad may happen.
I have the right to nag you.
Of course. I'll take my medication
regularly starting now.
And I'll eat well too.
Thank you for worrying about me.
Professor Seo.
I heard you were blaming our department
for the cancer patient.
The patient was admitted
and discharged by Family Medicine,
so you should take responsibility
if something occurs.
How is that
our department's responsibility?
We requested a consultation,
and your department took one look
and discharged her right away.
We did?
Hey, Seo In-ho!
I know that your resident
called my resident
confirming that you gave the okay
for the patient's discharge.
Do you really not know that?
She was discharged
before the official answer was closed.
Even if that was the case,
the official decision to discharge
is made by the department
that admitted her.
Technically, isn't she a patient
from your department?
That's why we asked for a consultation,
so your resident looked into her,
and you even gave the okay too.
If the surgery
department says so,
there's no reason for us
not to discharge her.
My resident seems
to have made some mistakes.
In that regard, I'll
give him a warning.
Giving him a warning
won't solve the issue here, will it?
I'm not sure.
If the records
were left in detail,
and he carried out
all the necessary duties,
then that means the patient
neglected his warning and went home.
Regarding the peritonitis, we actively
and aggressively performed surgery,
but it did not go well.
So it's hard to say
it's the hospital's fault.
Regardless, the fact that my department
is involved in this incident offends me.
Of course, Family
Medicine is involved.
Medical accidents can occur regardless
of someone's intention or wrongdoing.
But someone always
has to be held accountable.
So we need to officially decide
who is responsible.
If my department suffers
because of this...
If the patient was admitted
after seeing Family Medicine...
Regardless,
please take back what you said
about how Family Medicine
should be held responsible.
- What?
- I'll take it that you'll do as I asked.
You came again.
Actually,
I came because
I have something to tell you both.
The resident who discharged her
came before too.
He left after
crying on his knees.
But doing that won't
bring our child back.
I want to explain to you
why your daughter died.
I don't want to hear
it, so please leave.
Why are you here at this hour
out of the blue?
Is something wrong?
What could be wrong?
I just came to sleep over.
Are you sure nothing is wrong?
I'm telling you,
nothing's wrong.
I came here after the group dinner
because I missed you so much.
MS. OH DEOK-RYE
Yes, Ms. Oh.
It's been a while.
To what do I owe this pleasure?
I just called to
see how things are.
I was using the
cosmetics you gave me,
and I wondered if you were well,
and how you feel
after your surgery.
I see.
Gosh, thanks to
you, I'm doing so well.
There's nothing wrong with In-ho
or Jeong-suk, right?
In truth, Jeong-suk
looked so down the last time I saw her
that it's been bothering me.
Gosh.
The work at the
hospital is hard.
Right.
As a matter of fact, there was a place
I wanted to go with you.
Do you have time today?
Today?
This is a very famous
Korean medical clinic.
After taking the
medicine I got here,
I regained my strength.
Ms. Oh Deok-rye.
- Yes.
- Yes.
PROFESSOR PARK HO-WON
I RECEIVED YOUR INVESTMENT
MAY THERE BE A
PROSPEROUS FUTURE FOR US
Your pulse is irregular.
Your blood density as it flows
into your blood vessels is low,
and it doesn't
flow smoothly either.
In particular, the pulse tied
to your liver and stomach functions
have declined a lot.
You have inflammation
inside your body as well.
Am I that unwell?
You're lucky to be
alive and moving.
You probably haven't been able to sleep
and have a hard time eating.
Medicine is one thing,
but you should begin treatment right away.
VERITY KOREAN
MEDICAL CLINIC
That doctor is supposed
to be really talented.
How strange.
Don't be concerned.
It's just because I'm old.
I'll buy you a delicious dinner too.
What would you like to eat?
- You want to have dinner?
- Yes.
Ms. Kwak.
Do you not know what today is?
What day is it today?
It's not my birthday…
What could it be?
Do you have redder apples?
Of course. Are you preparing
for a memorial service?
Yes.
Who is it for?
My father-in-law.
Goodness, in this day and age?
You're a daughter-in-law
that's one in a million.
Thank you.
- Did you tell her to come?
- No.
I'm not that shameless.
How can I ask her to prepare
for my father's memorial service?
If she came on her own
to prepare all of this
for her father-in-law,
doesn't that mean
she forgives you?
Isn't this some
kind of silent message
that she's done with what she was doing
and coming back to the family?
That would be a relief.
Let's go help her
prepare the food today.
But I just got my nails done.
Please cooperate this time too!
In her eyes, you're
an accomplice.
Why am I an accomplice?
You're the one
who cheated, not me.
Good job on saying something
so blasphemous
on the anniversary
of your father's death.
It'll be lucky if
your father doesn't get indigestion
after eating the food today.
Jeong-suk.
Is there anything
I can help with?
Don't cut the radish too small
for the bean sprout soup.
Cut it long like this,
like a bean sprout.
- Like this?
- Yes.
The same goes for the chive
and scallion pancakes.
You can't cut the food
that will be offered into short pieces.
Jeez, but you already know
all this so well.
What's the point of me knowing?
I can't do this forever.
What?
Honey, can I
make them like this?
Watch carefully. Not in the middle,
but at the one-third point.
So the red side of the crab meat
can be seen from the front.
Okay.
Then a yellow radish.
Okay.
The same goes for the chives.
Make the broader side show from the front,
not the narrower side.
- I see.
- I see.
Mushrooms as well.
And next goes the ham.
That way the colors are pretty like this.
And then at the end,
one last piece of red crab meat.
Memorial services
are all about care.
You need to do it like this
so it looks good,
and so the egg, flour, and water
will stick properly and make it cook well.
- Use this one as an example and follow it.
- Okay.
It's a mere formality,
so don't put too much effort in.
What are you doing?
What?
I think
we should stop with
the memorial service.
We should just gather as a family
to pray and share a meal
on this day from now on.
Why all of a sudden?
We're Christians,
so your father must have
passed on to heaven.
So what is the point of this?
And it isn't right.
It's too much work on Jeong-suk's part.
Just look at today.
She just stood in the kitchen all day
and worked so hard.
You can do it next
year onwards, Mother.
As you already
know, I'm a bad cook.
Before you married into the family,
my mother-in-law took care of things.
Ever since you came,
you took care of everything so well.
So I never had the
time to learn to cook.
You can learn now.
- I can help too.
- Come on!
I'm saying I
don't want to do this anymore!
I don't understand why you want
to stop doing Father's memorial service.
Grandma, do you
have a boyfriend?
The thing is…
Yes, I have a person I'm seeing.
I don't know
how things will end up with him,
so continuing to hold
memorial services for your father
does make me uncomfortable.
So you're saying
you have a boyfriend?
Do you have marriage in mind?
Why?
Is there a reason I can't?
I'm single.
To think she has a
boyfriend at that age.
This is absurd.
I don't know if
you're grasping this,
but you're going to get yourself
a new father-in-law.
Head to your
room. I'll do it alone.
No, I was too inattentive with the chores.
I'll help out the best I can from now on.
Sure, learning this
will be good for you.
Since I won't be here anymore.
What is that supposed to mean?
This is the last memorial service
I'll prepare.
Let's…
get a divorce.
Divorce?
I saw your car
in the hospital parking lot.
You had the disability
sticker I received,
and you parked your car
right in front of the hospital entrance
where the accessible parking is.
DRIVER WITH DISABILITY
ACCESSIBLE PARKING
You put my disability
sticker on your car…
and drove around Seung-hi.
The thought of
that made me laugh.
The fact that I lived my life
caring for and putting
this lousy guy on a pedestal
made me feel so
pathetic and stupid.
And then suddenly,
I had this thought.
All of this isn't
just your fault.
Your mother failed
to teach you right from wrong.
And I was so permissive
in every single regard.
Our responsibility
in this isn't any less.
I'd like to make a report.
Someone is illegally parked
in an accessible parking spot.
The driver has
a disability sticker on his car.
But he's nondisabled.
Yes.
I've made my decision.
I think the time has come
when it'll be okay if we're just Jung-min
and I-rang's parents.
As the father of my children,
I can let things slide.
But…
as my husband,
you no longer…
hold any meaning to me.
I don't want to
hate you anymore.
I just don't feel the need
to hate you anymore.
It's already over…
between the two of us.
I want to be liberated
from this hell.
Let's split up.
Let's get a divorce.
Don't put on an act.
Get up.
Get up!
Honey.
Honey, open
your eyes. Come on.
Honey.
In-ho!
What's with you?
In-ho, open your eyes.
Honey!
Honey, please wake up!
DOCTOR CHA
I don't want to get a divorce.
Use this opportunity
to play the role of a good husband.
Mr. Seo In-ho.
It's already too late.
Mom, are you in
pain? What's wrong?
Don't let my mom know
what's going on between us for now.
The professor in
charge of Grandma.
It's Professor Choi Seung-hi.
Did you accept my mother
as your patient on purpose?
Isn't that up to you?
