Doctor Cha (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 16 - Episode #1.16 - full transcript
DOCTOR CHA
Make your choice.
Between the two of us,
whose liver will you accept?
Decide right here, right now!
Make your
decision, Dr. Cha.
I'm not sure.
Whose liver should I accept?
I choose…
I want to ride this one.
Would that be all right?
Yes.
Of course.
Are you joking right now?
Also, I'm not
going to accept…
either of your livers.
I'm not going to
accept anyone's liver.
I'll figure this out on my own,
so both of you should stop now.
Okay?
And you can leave.
You want me to go now?
- Then what will you do?
- Me?
Can't you tell?
Then shall we go?
Yes, let's go.
Hold on to him tight!
What am I saying?
Next time, you
should be the driver.
Me?
I do wonder
what it'd be like to drive this.
I'm going to go
fast. Hold on tight!
Okay!
FINALE
CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL
Hanseong Medical Corporation said
they're willing to take over.
The amount they proposed is
decent, but it's still a shame.
The facilities and
equipment here
are better than other
hospitals of a similar scale.
Above all else, the medical staff
here are earnest and devoted.
Hello.
Hello.
You've done great.
It's so nice.
What kinds of patients
generally come here?
Some people come here
after cancer surgery before going home.
This place also
acts as a hospice
for terminal cancer patients
in managing their pain.
Maybe it's because your father,
the chairman, also suffered from cancer,
but he took special care
in establishing this hospital.
He invested generously in the facilities
and the personnel.
Should I proceed
with the contract?
Why don't I take
over this hospital?
I have a feeling
I'd do a good job.
I want to give it a shot.
You might have
already suspected this,
but the steroid pulse therapy
isn't having much of an effect.
I think
it's proceeding to
acute liver failure.
You'll need another
liver transplant.
A deceased liver donor
may show up in time,
but otherwise,
you'll need to receive the liver
of a living donor
as fast as possible.
I guess so.
This isn't some
stranger's business.
I can't help but laugh.
Honestly,
it feels like a dream
that something like this…
to happen again.
I'm telling you this again,
but all of my immunological tests
including my blood type
show that I'm a good match.
When I ran a simulation, the liver volume
that I can donate was good,
and there was no anatomical variation,
so there won't be any problem.
Not this again.
Professor Kim,
you're quite stubborn.
I am, so please
change your mind.
Please give me
the chance to save your life.
Professor Kim,
I have a favor to ask.
Can I…
leave the hospital
just for today?
It's nice to see you here,
Ms. Cha Jeong-suk.
I have to go
back to the hospital.
I was allowed to leave the hospital
for a little bit today.
Do I look really bad?
What do you mean?
You look perfectly fine
with that makeup on.
So you need…
another liver transplant?
Yes.
But I'm not sure
if that's the right thing to do.
What do you mean?
You have to do it to live.
Even if I do get
another transplant,
who's to say this
won't happen again?
I'm scared I'll be causing
unnecessary suffering for someone
because of me.
How is your mother?
She's really worried, right?
"Really worried" doesn't cut it.
She says she should
be the one dying,
but somehow things got reversed.
I think she thinks that
I got sick because she got better.
That she took away all my luck.
That's ridiculous!
It is ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
No matter how many times
I say it's not true,
she can't seem to get that thought
out of her head.
She rarely comes
to the hospital.
I guess it's too difficult for her
to see me sick.
Smile.
SCOOP OUT THE AVOCADO
AND PUT IT IN A LARGE BOWL
TO JUNG-MIN AND I-RANG,
WHOM I LOVE THE MOST IN THE WORLD
Dear Jung-min
and I-rang.
You're not shocked
that I wrote a letter like this, right?
I looked at your
baby photos today.
You were so small and pretty that I
was so scared to hold you in my arms.
When did you two
grow to be this big?
I hope that both of
you become wise people
who know how to find
happiness in everyday life.
I hope that you eat what you want
and do the things you want to do,
then fall asleep happy
and wake up refreshed.
Jung-min,
I-rang,
Even though
I may not be by
your side one day,
I'll always protect you.
And…
thank you for being
my son and daughter.
I love you so much
that it can't be expressed
in words.
Love, your mom.
Mom!
What? I-rang.
What happened?
What are you doing here?
I was able to leave for a bit,
but I have to go back soon.
I wish you could always
be home like before.
I know.
Jeong-suk, what
are you doing here?
Why are you here
and not at the hospital?
Mother, have you been well?
Yes.
She came out for a bit
but has to go back to the hospital.
I heard you went to
see Eun-seo's mom.
She said you should go
to the school you want.
And that you should live
without that guilt.
- Really?
- Yes.
I know you did it
because you were angry.
But I-rang,
I'm not…
as unhappy as you think I am.
Getting married to your dad
and raising you and Jung-min
has given me
many more happy
memories than sad ones.
I know you've
had a hard time too.
But I hope…
that what's happened
doesn't hurt you anymore.
- Okay?
- Okay.
DIVORCE APPLICATION
(APPOINTMENT OF PARENTAL RIGHTS)
HUSBAND: SEO IN-HO
Mother, I'll get going now.
Is your treatment going well?
It's all right.
Don't think about anything else
and focus on getting better.
Okay, Mother.
I hope you stay well too.
I really don't understand you.
You should've led an easygoing life
after you had gotten a liver transplant.
Why would you mess with your fate
and get sick again?
If your husband
begs for forgiveness,
you should accept it.
Do you think getting a divorce
will make things better?
I'm sorry, Mother,
that I couldn't be a
good daughter-in-law to the very end.
Mother, I'll be back
after talking to Jeong-suk.
Goodbye,
Mother. Stay well.
Why would she come home
after leaving this house?
How stubborn. She doesn't know
how good it is to have a husband.
She insists on making people cry
to the very end.
Didn't the real
estate agent call you?
I heard someone came to look.
I said I wasn't
going to sell it.
Just keep it.
You…
have the right to keep it.
You said your mother had debt.
Forget about it.
I'll figure it out,
so don't bring it up again.
It's the divorce papers.
You don't want
to accept my liver
because you don't want to be
at a disadvantage to me.
If I go through with the surgery
and then pathetically
beg you to forgive me,
then you won't be
able to reject me
since you're so soft-hearted.
That's why I brought this.
I'll let you go through with the divorce
and I won't pathetically cling to you.
So get the surgery.
And live.
Allow me to repent
for my sins through this.
I'm scared…
that I'll never be able
to see you again.
Even if we break up,
I still want to see
you sometimes…
as the mother of my children.
I heard you're
getting the surgery.
Yes.
You made the right choice.
I'm quitting the hospital.
Are you going to the US?
No.
I'm going to run a hospital.
I think I'll do a good job.
And it just seems
like where I should be.
So that's what I decided to do.
Okay.
That's great.
You'll do a great job.
Have a good surgery.
I hope that both
of you stay healthy.
We're…
breaking up, right?
Yes.
Let's meet
sometimes.
We have Eun-seo.
You're Eun-seo, right?
Yes.
I came to meet my mom.
Today is her last day.
I see.
How's your arm?
Is it fully healed?
Almost.
But are you sick?
Yes.
A little.
I sat here because
I have something to tell you.
Do you have a moment?
I don't know when you found out,
but all of us
adults are to blame
for every single situation
you've found yourself in.
None of it was ever your fault.
Just remember that.
So put the bad things behind you
and enjoy life.
Don't walk on eggshells around anyone
or feel discouraged.
And…
don't hate your mom too much.
Okay?
RESIDENT MOON CHEA-YOON
Professor, please come
to the medical office now!
What's wrong?
Thank you for everything.
Professor Choi.
You all must be busy.
You shouldn't have.
We heard you're quitting.
I'm hurt that you were just going to leave
without saying goodbye.
I'm sorry.
Thank you, Professor Choi.
- Thank you for everything.
- Thank you for everything.
- We're going to miss you.
- Thank you, Professor Choi.
Please don't go.
We don't want you to.
Professor Roy doesn't have some kind
of get-together today, right?
It'd be disrespectful
if he drinks
the night before operating on
a special VIP patient like me.
He's been going on frequent business trips
for conferences and whatnot lately.
But a surgeon should focus
on his surgeries
and not waste his energy
on trivial things.
Are you going to
keep eating that?
No. I'm sorry.
He doesn't have any conferences
or other plans today.
You prepared the
stapler and thread
- that Professor Roy uses a lot, right?
- Yes.
We can't have him blame the instruments
if the surgery goes wrong.
So tell all the vendors to be
on standby with their products.
And film my surgery
from start to end.
- I'm going to check it afterward.
- Yes, sir.
Who's coming into the surgery?
- Chief Resident Hwang, will you be there?
- Yes.
Do a once-over of your textbook
before you come in, okay?
Dr. Jeon, since you're good at suturing,
you should come too.
We're doing a
laparoscopy, right?
Professor Seo,
don't worry so much.
You already told us
all of this yesterday.
All the best residents
will be going in.
We've already done
multiple liver volume renderings,
so we're familiar
with your liver anatomy.
We also checked the right side
of your liver that'll be extracted.
Just in case it hurts a lot
after the surgery,
we've prepared a
hypodermic injection device as well.
Good job.
This is her second surgery,
so there'll be a lot of adhesions.
Since there was a transplant rejection,
detaching the liver won't be easy.
There won't be an issue, right?
The team in charge
ran multiple simulations.
All the relevant departments
have double-checked,
so the teamwork
will be top-notch.
Okay.
I trust you'll do well
on my surgery today, Professor.
My life is once
again in your hands.
I put too much pressure
on you, didn't I?
I'll do my very best.
It's a cliché thing to say,
but I can't think
of anything better.
I'll do a good job.
So don't worry too much.
Okay.
Hello, Professor Seo.
- Hello, Professor Seo.
- Hello, Professor Seo.
Hello.
Hey, Jung-man, Dong-u,
Hye-min, and Ye-seo.
Let's do a good job.
- Yes, Professor Seo.
- Okay.
Chief Resident Hwang.
- Mi-la, I'm counting on you.
- Don't worry, Professor.
A little more.
- Hello, Professor Kim.
- Hello.
- You're nervous, right?
- Well…
A little.
You should relax
and put your mind at ease.
Okay.
When you're doing the surgery,
remove the biggest piece
of my liver that you can
and give it to my wife.
I was already
planning to do that.
But you don't have to be
so determined and remove a lot, right?
Let's get started.
Administering the anesthesia.
I know you'll remove it well,
but consider the
safety of the donor…
I'm just going to remove
the damaged liver,
and the rest of the transplant
will be handled by Professor Roy.
You're aware of this, right?
Yes, of course.
You must be well aware of this,
but this is your second transplant
and the adhesions will be severe,
so the surgery time will be long,
and there can be a lot of bleeding.
But the country's best transplant team
will be working on this,
so relax and leave
everything to us.
Yes, I will.
You've got this.
Then I will administer
the anesthesia now.
Relax and take a
slow, deep breath in.
The medicine is going in.
Let's do a time-out.
Patient number
769865, Mr. Seo In-ho.
He is a liver donor undergoing
a right hemihepatectomy surgery.
Let's begin.
You must be feeling very upset.
It goes beyond that.
I'm in agony.
It's not just agony.
I feel like I'm dying.
He should've just given the liver
from the get-go.
But I never knew my son
would be a guy crazy enough
to give his liver
to the wife he's divorcing.
Don't be too upset.
She's still the mother of his children,
and she was a good daughter-in-law.
I know.
Ms. Oh,
is Jeong-suk really going to go through
with the divorce?
Suture, please.
Professor.
OPERATING ROOM 1
PATIENT NAME: CHA JEONG-SUK
SURGEON: ROY KIM
Mr. Seo In-ho.
Ms. Cha Jeong-suk.
Are you both present?
Yes.
Yes.
Is it true that you both intend
to get a divorce?
Yes.
PRESIDING JUDGE
PARTY
Yes.
You've both agreed to child custody rights
and division of assets, correct?
Yes.
That was anticlimactic.
Right?
I heard some people throw
rowdy divorce ceremonies.
Now that I
think about it…
I think I understand why.
You didn't eat lunch, right?
No.
Let's eat something here.
How long has it been
since just the two of us ate together?
Was it around when Jung-min
graduated middle school?
You know, when
your uncle passed away
and we had beef short-rib soup
on the way back from Cheongju.
Was that the last time?
That's ridiculous.
That was ages ago.
I'm telling you.
I don't have a memory of just us two
eating out after that.
Come on, that's not right.
I'm telling you, I'm right.
What's the point
when things ended up like this?
Memories of us
eating together
as two close people
are so far in the past.
It's only after we broke up
that we're having a meal,
just the two of us.
That reminds me.
I heard you became
the hospital director!
Congratulations.
Your mother must
be thrilled, right?
Well, they say I'm the youngest director
in the hospital's history.
It's tiring because people
keep giving me unpleasant looks,
but I'll still try my best
in my new position.
Thank you for the lunch.
It's nothing.
- Will you return to the hospital?
- Yes.
Thankfully, they said
they'll take me back.
But I'm not going to push myself too hard
and I will start again after getting rest.
If you hadn't met me,
you would've settled into your career
so much faster.
I'm sorry.
And thank you for everything.
You were perfect as both my wife
and the mother of my children.
Not…
all of it was bad for me.
I have a lot of good memories.
I wish you the best.
Should we…
shake hands?
THE YOUNGEST
HOSPITAL DIRECTOR
GUSAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL DIRECTOR
SEO IN-HO
This place is huge!
Look at this place!
I've never been
to a place like this.
Honey! Kids, your
dad has made it!
Honey, you're so amazing!
Does this mean
I'll get a bigger allowance?
Awesome.
- Dad, pass this down to me.
- Give it to me too.
- Honey, congratulations.
- Dad.
- You're the best!
- Amazing!
- So amazing.
- Dad is the best.
You're really amazing.
I respect you, Father.
It's been a while.
I heard you got into a school.
A friend at the academy told me.
Yes.
I'm preparing for
regular admissions.
If I fail, I can
go study abroad.
I'm sorry about last time.
I approached you
knowing you were my dad's daughter.
I'm the one who started things.
I'm going to go.
My mom and dad…
got divorced.
Undersecretary, let me show you
the Surgery Department
of Gusan University Hospital.
Our Surgery Department
is the first in the country
to have the latest
robotic surgical...
Director.
The undersecretary came for
the specialized infectious disease ward.
You should show him
to Internal Medicine first.
- Not to the Surgical Department.
- Of course, please.
This way.
Let's go.
Hey, Eun-seo.
How are you?
I've been just okay.
Are you busy?
I have an important
guest right now…
But it's fine.
You can talk.
Do you have time today?
Today?
I'm sorry I haven't
contacted you at all lately.
My mind was all over the place.
I know.
I see.
Eun-seo, I…
No.
As your dad…
I'm lacking in many ways.
It won't be easy,
but going forward,
I'll try to be…
a good dad to you.
Can you wait for
me one more time?
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
Is there something on my face?
You must have some
irresistible charm that I can't see.
What?
It's just that my
mom and that lady
seem a bit too good for you.
I guess I did an exceptionally good
deed in my past life.
I heard you got divorced.
How did you know?
What are you going
to do about Mom?
Your mom and I…
already decided to
end things as well.
You shouldn't let her go.
Sorry.
It would be too
shameless to do that.
You've done worse
things, so why not?
You have to try
and cling to Mom at least once
to make things fair.
- What is that?
- The promotional video for the hospital.
Is the hospital doing well?
Rather than
saying it's doing well,
it's more like I'm
doing a good job.
Dad got divorced.
What?
It's been a while.
It has.
How's your hospital doing?
It's going well.
How have you been?
It's always the same for me.
How are you feeling?
I'm almost fully recovered.
My liver has almost fully regrown.
That's a relief.
I came to see if
we can sign an MOU with this hospital
to become an
affiliated hospital.
Sure, that would be needed.
Jeong-suk and I got a divorce.
You must feel terrible.
But just like you said,
I did everything I can,
so I just have to accept it.
Honestly, I deserve
to be divorced.
I contributed to
your divorce too.
You have to try
and cling to Mom at least once
to make things fair.
You saved my life twice.
I'll really take care
of my health this time
and make sure we never meet
in an operating room again.
I'm happy to hear that.
What happened…
with your father?
I donated my bone marrow.
Not as his son, but as a doctor.
If it's a decision
you won't come to regret,
then that's enough.
I now think of my
parents in the US,
who raised me unconditionally,
as my true parents.
I realized it so
late like a fool.
Professor Kim.
Thank you so much.
For performing
surgery on me so well,
and for offering
to donate your liver to me.
I'll never forget that
for the rest of my life.
You'll really never forget?
Of course.
There is one way
you'll never forget.
You can have me
by your side forever.
Actually,
I like you, Dr. Cha.
I've wanted to say
this for a long time,
but I'm only managing to now.
Thank you.
Those words are like…
a beautifully bright ray
of spring sunshine.
But…
as for me,
I think I'm too tired
now to live my life
only relying on
that ray of sunshine.
What's precious to me now
is mundane, everyday life.
Rather than someone like me,
I think that you
should meet someone
who is well suited for you
in every single way.
You should get married,
enjoy newlywed life…
have a kid or two,
and live a busy life…
as you grow old together.
You…
may think I'm old-fashioned,
but that's how I feel.
The freesias are
so pretty, right?
I like them a lot.
They're quite popular
as they have a good meaning behind them.
"I support your
new beginning."
I didn't know that
was the meaning behind freesias.
That's why they're popular for graduations
and entrance ceremonies.
I'll buy some freesias.
- Hello.
- How can I help you?
Can I have a pregnancy test?
One moment.
3 YEARS LATER
IN USE
INSTRUCTIONAL USE
You passed.
And I thought you
had zero motor skills!
But you're quite amazing.
What are you talking about?
I have amazing spatial perception.
Don't you have to leave?
I do. It's a busy time.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hello.
Yeong-ho, I'll do that
so you take the orders.
Hello.
NEW ORDER
Here is your
blueberry chicory salad.
Chicory has a lot of dietary fiber that
prevents your blood sugar from spiking.
It also reduces the absorption of glucose,
so it's very good for diabetes.
Enjoy and stay healthy.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Let's eat.
Dr. Cha, it's time for you
to see patients.
- Okay, I'll go.
- Okay.
CHA JEONG-SUK CLINIC
SPECIALIST CERTIFICATE
NAME: CHA JEONG-SUK
FAMILY MEDICINE SPECIALIST
CHA JEONG-SUK
FAMILY MEDICINE
SPECIALIST, CHA JEONG-SUK
Thoracic outlet syndrome?
Yes, there's a triangular space
in our body that's formed by our ribs,
collarbone, and shoulder blades.
Pain can form when the nerves
and blood vessels here are pushed down.
Degenerative conditions can form
in our neck or shoulders as we get older,
which also cause pain
like what you're going through.
You're right. It
hurts everywhere now that I'm old.
First, let's take an X-ray
and see what the issue is.
If your daily life is still difficult
even after taking medicine,
then you should go
to a bigger hospital
and get a thorough
medical checkup.
But I think it'd be good to always sit
with the correct posture.
- Straighten out your shoulders.
- Yes.
You have to make a constant effort
to sit up straight.
And don't look
at your cell phone too often.
You should never
lift heavy things.
This is bad.
I have to make kimchi tomorrow.
Goodness, no.
Tell your husband and kids
to lift the heavy things for you.
Gosh, I should do that.
- Yes.
- I should.
This place sells healthy salads
and you listen to
all your patients with such care.
I'm so thrilled
that a place like this
- opened up in the neighborhood.
- Really?
And I even found a magazine article
that said this is a unique clinic.
You saw that?
Did my picture come out great?
- Gosh, you're our neighborhood star.
- Me?
- Mom.
- Hey.
Did you pass?
Of course, I passed.
I'm your daughter, after all.
It'd be nice if you didn't ride
a motorcycle given how dangerous it is.
Come on, I just got the license.
I don't know if I'll ride one or not.
Sure, think thoroughly about it.
I'm already getting anxious
at the thought of you riding motorcycles.
But Mom, as I was coming in
and saw you taking care of the garden,
I thought all of this
was so picturesque.
This is wonderful.
I feel like I'm
living in a dream too.
When you received
your second surgery,
I really felt like dying.
It's a miracle for someone to come back
from the brink of death twice.
So for me,
I don't hate In-ho or his mother
at all anymore.
I'm grateful for everything.
Of course, I'm grateful too.
They still gave us this building,
though it has some loans on it.
Do I seem too materialistic
if I'm like this?
Yes, just a little.
Mom, the bok choy grew so well.
They're growing so well.
Everything here tastes so good.
IN SURGERY
- Great work, Doctor.
- Great work.
Right, it's not this way.
How did it go?
That woman's colon
really was quite long.
She must've had trouble
with her bowel movement.
The surgery went well.
She'll be a lot better now.
What a relief. Good job.
Do you have time on
a weekday next week?
There's an 80-year-old man
in the hospice ward of my hospital.
He's had a hernia for a while,
so he'll need surgery.
Do you think I'm some
kind of superhuman?
I'm busy with both the hospital
and your surgery favors.
I'm busier now than I was
when I was a first-year resident.
I need to rest too, you know?
He's a poor, elderly man
with no family or friends.
You can't expect to sit back
and do a good
deed at the same time.
Forget it if you don't want to.
Who said I didn't want to?
I'll do it.
FAMILY MEDICINE
SPECIALIST, CHA JEONG-SUK
Hey.
I forgot to tell you something.
Do you remember Roy?
Professor Kim?
What about him?
I think he's seeing someone.
And it's serious.
What?
Hey.
Were you waiting long?
Let's go have something good.
- I know.
- You do?
I go to him for regular checkups
every two months even now.
He spoke about
her a couple of times.
Don't you think it's a shame?
It's a shame for sure.
But from the very beginning,
I couldn't see the
two of us together.
Goodness.
Then did you see
you and In-ho together?
Hey!
Jeong-suk, you said you were
going to Gangwon-do today, right?
To be a medical volunteer.
Yes, do you want to come too?
I love you.
How is it?
Your numbers.
Your numbers are
all back to normal.
Amazing!
You did so well.
You must have worked really hard.
This is all thanks to you
since you visited often and helped me.
I was a bit of help, wasn't I?
Of course!
Do you think it's
easy to come here
all the way from Seoul
as regularly as you have?
I told you the first time we met
that I'll come
back no matter what.
Thank you.
I'm the one who's grateful.
You did such a good job.
SEOPGYO-RI REST AREA
Why did she ask me to come here?
I have bad memories of this place.
- Father, you're here.
- Hey.
Hello.
You got here quickly.
Go ahead and play.
There was no traffic.
Man, I'm tired.
All I want is to go to a sauna
and sweat things out.
Really? That's great.
Then head into town
and go to the bathhouse.
You can go with
those men over there.
The bathhouse? And
not treat any patients?
Didn't you call me
to treat patients?
No, I called you here
because I needed a hand.
The bathhouse volunteers
hadn't been able to come
so the elders
couldn't take proper baths for a while.
- So?
- So I want you to help.
Me?
This feels so good.
You're good at this.
All done!
- Thank you.
- Yes, you can go this way.
Okay, next!
Sir, you can go that way.
Jung-min.
Lather him up.
- I'll finish things up for you later.
- Okay.
Okay, come this way.
I guess he's really tired.
Father.
Father.
Father!
He was tired.
He must be tired.
You have to go now.
Great job, Father.
Thanks for the coffee.
Drink it and shake
off your sleepiness.
I'm really tired.
You did a great job.
The elders loved it so much.
I put every last bit of energy
I had into it.
Right, be good to your mother.
She called me a
couple of days ago.
I heard you nagged her
about the dishes too.
Mother, you shouldn't clean them
so roughly like that.
You should clean them with chemicals,
not physical strength.
Then you do it.
You're all talk.
- Did I say anything wrong?
- Jeez.
- Mother is just being sensitive.
- Gosh.
Do you think I don't know you?
Even if it's the
truth, say it nicely.
Nicely.
- Nicely.
- Okay.
That snow was unexpected.
It was amazing
before. So pretty.
Will you go back to
the Surgery Department
once you're done
serving as an army doctor?
I think I hated the Surgery Department
more out of rebellion.
But now that time has passed,
I want to go back into the surgery room.
That's a relief.
But when you return,
you'll have to
call me "professor,"
even though I'm just
a clinical assistant professor.
You rank so much
higher than me now.
I actually took a
pregnancy test recently.
What?
Don't worry. It
was negative.
But the thing is,
I thought about
what it'd be like
if it was positive.
In that short moment,
I imagined us getting married
and having a kid.
It wasn't as bad as I thought.
I'm just saying! Do
you have anything to say about that?
Like, "I want to spend
the rest of my life with…"
Jeez.
I mean, I…
Just now…
For a split second,
I thought you were going to say
you were pregnant.
And…
at that moment,
I was feeling giddy.
What?
You seem disappointed.
Our kid came
and left in an instant.
I want to see you, kiddo!
Hey, why are you speaking so loudly?
People will hear you.
Come here.
Kids, what's taking so long?
You should pack your things.
Let's go.
It'd be nice if we went too.
Will you be okay alone?
You have to take a boat
since it's a submerged area.
No, I can go alone.
There's a nurse and
a social worker too.
You should hurry and go
before you get stuck in traffic.
Go.
Then we'll get going.
Mom, me too.
Message me often, Jung-min.
What? Hurry up and go.
Okay then. Bye.
- Bye.
- You drive. I really can't right now.
Jung-min, drive safely.
- I'll call you.
- Call me.
Hello.
What's with the weather today?
I'm a little late, aren't I?
No, we just got here too.
Let's go.
- How many places are we visiting today?
- Three places.
I'm grateful for everything I'm
able to see because I'm alive.
So I believe that
I'm happy
at this moment, as it is.
DOCTOR CHA
Subtitle translation
by: Yoon-ji Chi
Make your choice.
Between the two of us,
whose liver will you accept?
Decide right here, right now!
Make your
decision, Dr. Cha.
I'm not sure.
Whose liver should I accept?
I choose…
I want to ride this one.
Would that be all right?
Yes.
Of course.
Are you joking right now?
Also, I'm not
going to accept…
either of your livers.
I'm not going to
accept anyone's liver.
I'll figure this out on my own,
so both of you should stop now.
Okay?
And you can leave.
You want me to go now?
- Then what will you do?
- Me?
Can't you tell?
Then shall we go?
Yes, let's go.
Hold on to him tight!
What am I saying?
Next time, you
should be the driver.
Me?
I do wonder
what it'd be like to drive this.
I'm going to go
fast. Hold on tight!
Okay!
FINALE
CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL
Hanseong Medical Corporation said
they're willing to take over.
The amount they proposed is
decent, but it's still a shame.
The facilities and
equipment here
are better than other
hospitals of a similar scale.
Above all else, the medical staff
here are earnest and devoted.
Hello.
Hello.
You've done great.
It's so nice.
What kinds of patients
generally come here?
Some people come here
after cancer surgery before going home.
This place also
acts as a hospice
for terminal cancer patients
in managing their pain.
Maybe it's because your father,
the chairman, also suffered from cancer,
but he took special care
in establishing this hospital.
He invested generously in the facilities
and the personnel.
Should I proceed
with the contract?
Why don't I take
over this hospital?
I have a feeling
I'd do a good job.
I want to give it a shot.
You might have
already suspected this,
but the steroid pulse therapy
isn't having much of an effect.
I think
it's proceeding to
acute liver failure.
You'll need another
liver transplant.
A deceased liver donor
may show up in time,
but otherwise,
you'll need to receive the liver
of a living donor
as fast as possible.
I guess so.
This isn't some
stranger's business.
I can't help but laugh.
Honestly,
it feels like a dream
that something like this…
to happen again.
I'm telling you this again,
but all of my immunological tests
including my blood type
show that I'm a good match.
When I ran a simulation, the liver volume
that I can donate was good,
and there was no anatomical variation,
so there won't be any problem.
Not this again.
Professor Kim,
you're quite stubborn.
I am, so please
change your mind.
Please give me
the chance to save your life.
Professor Kim,
I have a favor to ask.
Can I…
leave the hospital
just for today?
It's nice to see you here,
Ms. Cha Jeong-suk.
I have to go
back to the hospital.
I was allowed to leave the hospital
for a little bit today.
Do I look really bad?
What do you mean?
You look perfectly fine
with that makeup on.
So you need…
another liver transplant?
Yes.
But I'm not sure
if that's the right thing to do.
What do you mean?
You have to do it to live.
Even if I do get
another transplant,
who's to say this
won't happen again?
I'm scared I'll be causing
unnecessary suffering for someone
because of me.
How is your mother?
She's really worried, right?
"Really worried" doesn't cut it.
She says she should
be the one dying,
but somehow things got reversed.
I think she thinks that
I got sick because she got better.
That she took away all my luck.
That's ridiculous!
It is ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
No matter how many times
I say it's not true,
she can't seem to get that thought
out of her head.
She rarely comes
to the hospital.
I guess it's too difficult for her
to see me sick.
Smile.
SCOOP OUT THE AVOCADO
AND PUT IT IN A LARGE BOWL
TO JUNG-MIN AND I-RANG,
WHOM I LOVE THE MOST IN THE WORLD
Dear Jung-min
and I-rang.
You're not shocked
that I wrote a letter like this, right?
I looked at your
baby photos today.
You were so small and pretty that I
was so scared to hold you in my arms.
When did you two
grow to be this big?
I hope that both of
you become wise people
who know how to find
happiness in everyday life.
I hope that you eat what you want
and do the things you want to do,
then fall asleep happy
and wake up refreshed.
Jung-min,
I-rang,
Even though
I may not be by
your side one day,
I'll always protect you.
And…
thank you for being
my son and daughter.
I love you so much
that it can't be expressed
in words.
Love, your mom.
Mom!
What? I-rang.
What happened?
What are you doing here?
I was able to leave for a bit,
but I have to go back soon.
I wish you could always
be home like before.
I know.
Jeong-suk, what
are you doing here?
Why are you here
and not at the hospital?
Mother, have you been well?
Yes.
She came out for a bit
but has to go back to the hospital.
I heard you went to
see Eun-seo's mom.
She said you should go
to the school you want.
And that you should live
without that guilt.
- Really?
- Yes.
I know you did it
because you were angry.
But I-rang,
I'm not…
as unhappy as you think I am.
Getting married to your dad
and raising you and Jung-min
has given me
many more happy
memories than sad ones.
I know you've
had a hard time too.
But I hope…
that what's happened
doesn't hurt you anymore.
- Okay?
- Okay.
DIVORCE APPLICATION
(APPOINTMENT OF PARENTAL RIGHTS)
HUSBAND: SEO IN-HO
Mother, I'll get going now.
Is your treatment going well?
It's all right.
Don't think about anything else
and focus on getting better.
Okay, Mother.
I hope you stay well too.
I really don't understand you.
You should've led an easygoing life
after you had gotten a liver transplant.
Why would you mess with your fate
and get sick again?
If your husband
begs for forgiveness,
you should accept it.
Do you think getting a divorce
will make things better?
I'm sorry, Mother,
that I couldn't be a
good daughter-in-law to the very end.
Mother, I'll be back
after talking to Jeong-suk.
Goodbye,
Mother. Stay well.
Why would she come home
after leaving this house?
How stubborn. She doesn't know
how good it is to have a husband.
She insists on making people cry
to the very end.
Didn't the real
estate agent call you?
I heard someone came to look.
I said I wasn't
going to sell it.
Just keep it.
You…
have the right to keep it.
You said your mother had debt.
Forget about it.
I'll figure it out,
so don't bring it up again.
It's the divorce papers.
You don't want
to accept my liver
because you don't want to be
at a disadvantage to me.
If I go through with the surgery
and then pathetically
beg you to forgive me,
then you won't be
able to reject me
since you're so soft-hearted.
That's why I brought this.
I'll let you go through with the divorce
and I won't pathetically cling to you.
So get the surgery.
And live.
Allow me to repent
for my sins through this.
I'm scared…
that I'll never be able
to see you again.
Even if we break up,
I still want to see
you sometimes…
as the mother of my children.
I heard you're
getting the surgery.
Yes.
You made the right choice.
I'm quitting the hospital.
Are you going to the US?
No.
I'm going to run a hospital.
I think I'll do a good job.
And it just seems
like where I should be.
So that's what I decided to do.
Okay.
That's great.
You'll do a great job.
Have a good surgery.
I hope that both
of you stay healthy.
We're…
breaking up, right?
Yes.
Let's meet
sometimes.
We have Eun-seo.
You're Eun-seo, right?
Yes.
I came to meet my mom.
Today is her last day.
I see.
How's your arm?
Is it fully healed?
Almost.
But are you sick?
Yes.
A little.
I sat here because
I have something to tell you.
Do you have a moment?
I don't know when you found out,
but all of us
adults are to blame
for every single situation
you've found yourself in.
None of it was ever your fault.
Just remember that.
So put the bad things behind you
and enjoy life.
Don't walk on eggshells around anyone
or feel discouraged.
And…
don't hate your mom too much.
Okay?
RESIDENT MOON CHEA-YOON
Professor, please come
to the medical office now!
What's wrong?
Thank you for everything.
Professor Choi.
You all must be busy.
You shouldn't have.
We heard you're quitting.
I'm hurt that you were just going to leave
without saying goodbye.
I'm sorry.
Thank you, Professor Choi.
- Thank you for everything.
- Thank you for everything.
- We're going to miss you.
- Thank you, Professor Choi.
Please don't go.
We don't want you to.
Professor Roy doesn't have some kind
of get-together today, right?
It'd be disrespectful
if he drinks
the night before operating on
a special VIP patient like me.
He's been going on frequent business trips
for conferences and whatnot lately.
But a surgeon should focus
on his surgeries
and not waste his energy
on trivial things.
Are you going to
keep eating that?
No. I'm sorry.
He doesn't have any conferences
or other plans today.
You prepared the
stapler and thread
- that Professor Roy uses a lot, right?
- Yes.
We can't have him blame the instruments
if the surgery goes wrong.
So tell all the vendors to be
on standby with their products.
And film my surgery
from start to end.
- I'm going to check it afterward.
- Yes, sir.
Who's coming into the surgery?
- Chief Resident Hwang, will you be there?
- Yes.
Do a once-over of your textbook
before you come in, okay?
Dr. Jeon, since you're good at suturing,
you should come too.
We're doing a
laparoscopy, right?
Professor Seo,
don't worry so much.
You already told us
all of this yesterday.
All the best residents
will be going in.
We've already done
multiple liver volume renderings,
so we're familiar
with your liver anatomy.
We also checked the right side
of your liver that'll be extracted.
Just in case it hurts a lot
after the surgery,
we've prepared a
hypodermic injection device as well.
Good job.
This is her second surgery,
so there'll be a lot of adhesions.
Since there was a transplant rejection,
detaching the liver won't be easy.
There won't be an issue, right?
The team in charge
ran multiple simulations.
All the relevant departments
have double-checked,
so the teamwork
will be top-notch.
Okay.
I trust you'll do well
on my surgery today, Professor.
My life is once
again in your hands.
I put too much pressure
on you, didn't I?
I'll do my very best.
It's a cliché thing to say,
but I can't think
of anything better.
I'll do a good job.
So don't worry too much.
Okay.
Hello, Professor Seo.
- Hello, Professor Seo.
- Hello, Professor Seo.
Hello.
Hey, Jung-man, Dong-u,
Hye-min, and Ye-seo.
Let's do a good job.
- Yes, Professor Seo.
- Okay.
Chief Resident Hwang.
- Mi-la, I'm counting on you.
- Don't worry, Professor.
A little more.
- Hello, Professor Kim.
- Hello.
- You're nervous, right?
- Well…
A little.
You should relax
and put your mind at ease.
Okay.
When you're doing the surgery,
remove the biggest piece
of my liver that you can
and give it to my wife.
I was already
planning to do that.
But you don't have to be
so determined and remove a lot, right?
Let's get started.
Administering the anesthesia.
I know you'll remove it well,
but consider the
safety of the donor…
I'm just going to remove
the damaged liver,
and the rest of the transplant
will be handled by Professor Roy.
You're aware of this, right?
Yes, of course.
You must be well aware of this,
but this is your second transplant
and the adhesions will be severe,
so the surgery time will be long,
and there can be a lot of bleeding.
But the country's best transplant team
will be working on this,
so relax and leave
everything to us.
Yes, I will.
You've got this.
Then I will administer
the anesthesia now.
Relax and take a
slow, deep breath in.
The medicine is going in.
Let's do a time-out.
Patient number
769865, Mr. Seo In-ho.
He is a liver donor undergoing
a right hemihepatectomy surgery.
Let's begin.
You must be feeling very upset.
It goes beyond that.
I'm in agony.
It's not just agony.
I feel like I'm dying.
He should've just given the liver
from the get-go.
But I never knew my son
would be a guy crazy enough
to give his liver
to the wife he's divorcing.
Don't be too upset.
She's still the mother of his children,
and she was a good daughter-in-law.
I know.
Ms. Oh,
is Jeong-suk really going to go through
with the divorce?
Suture, please.
Professor.
OPERATING ROOM 1

SURGEON: ROY KIM
Mr. Seo In-ho.
Ms. Cha Jeong-suk.
Are you both present?
Yes.
Yes.
Is it true that you both intend
to get a divorce?
Yes.
PRESIDING JUDGE
PARTY
Yes.
You've both agreed to child custody rights
and division of assets, correct?
Yes.
That was anticlimactic.
Right?
I heard some people throw
rowdy divorce ceremonies.
Now that I
think about it…
I think I understand why.
You didn't eat lunch, right?
No.
Let's eat something here.
How long has it been
since just the two of us ate together?
Was it around when Jung-min
graduated middle school?
You know, when
your uncle passed away
and we had beef short-rib soup
on the way back from Cheongju.
Was that the last time?
That's ridiculous.
That was ages ago.
I'm telling you.
I don't have a memory of just us two
eating out after that.
Come on, that's not right.
I'm telling you, I'm right.
What's the point
when things ended up like this?
Memories of us
eating together
as two close people
are so far in the past.
It's only after we broke up
that we're having a meal,
just the two of us.
That reminds me.
I heard you became
the hospital director!
Congratulations.
Your mother must
be thrilled, right?
Well, they say I'm the youngest director
in the hospital's history.
It's tiring because people
keep giving me unpleasant looks,
but I'll still try my best
in my new position.
Thank you for the lunch.
It's nothing.
- Will you return to the hospital?
- Yes.
Thankfully, they said
they'll take me back.
But I'm not going to push myself too hard
and I will start again after getting rest.
If you hadn't met me,
you would've settled into your career
so much faster.
I'm sorry.
And thank you for everything.
You were perfect as both my wife
and the mother of my children.
Not…
all of it was bad for me.
I have a lot of good memories.
I wish you the best.
Should we…
shake hands?
THE YOUNGEST
HOSPITAL DIRECTOR
GUSAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL DIRECTOR
SEO IN-HO
This place is huge!
Look at this place!
I've never been
to a place like this.
Honey! Kids, your
dad has made it!
Honey, you're so amazing!
Does this mean
I'll get a bigger allowance?
Awesome.
- Dad, pass this down to me.
- Give it to me too.
- Honey, congratulations.
- Dad.
- You're the best!
- Amazing!
- So amazing.
- Dad is the best.
You're really amazing.
I respect you, Father.
It's been a while.
I heard you got into a school.
A friend at the academy told me.
Yes.
I'm preparing for
regular admissions.
If I fail, I can
go study abroad.
I'm sorry about last time.
I approached you
knowing you were my dad's daughter.
I'm the one who started things.
I'm going to go.
My mom and dad…
got divorced.
Undersecretary, let me show you
the Surgery Department
of Gusan University Hospital.
Our Surgery Department
is the first in the country
to have the latest
robotic surgical...
Director.
The undersecretary came for
the specialized infectious disease ward.
You should show him
to Internal Medicine first.
- Not to the Surgical Department.
- Of course, please.
This way.
Let's go.
Hey, Eun-seo.
How are you?
I've been just okay.
Are you busy?
I have an important
guest right now…
But it's fine.
You can talk.
Do you have time today?
Today?
I'm sorry I haven't
contacted you at all lately.
My mind was all over the place.
I know.
I see.
Eun-seo, I…
No.
As your dad…
I'm lacking in many ways.
It won't be easy,
but going forward,
I'll try to be…
a good dad to you.
Can you wait for
me one more time?
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
Is there something on my face?
You must have some
irresistible charm that I can't see.
What?
It's just that my
mom and that lady
seem a bit too good for you.
I guess I did an exceptionally good
deed in my past life.
I heard you got divorced.
How did you know?
What are you going
to do about Mom?
Your mom and I…
already decided to
end things as well.
You shouldn't let her go.
Sorry.
It would be too
shameless to do that.
You've done worse
things, so why not?
You have to try
and cling to Mom at least once
to make things fair.
- What is that?
- The promotional video for the hospital.
Is the hospital doing well?
Rather than
saying it's doing well,
it's more like I'm
doing a good job.
Dad got divorced.
What?
It's been a while.
It has.
How's your hospital doing?
It's going well.
How have you been?
It's always the same for me.
How are you feeling?
I'm almost fully recovered.
My liver has almost fully regrown.
That's a relief.
I came to see if
we can sign an MOU with this hospital
to become an
affiliated hospital.
Sure, that would be needed.
Jeong-suk and I got a divorce.
You must feel terrible.
But just like you said,
I did everything I can,
so I just have to accept it.
Honestly, I deserve
to be divorced.
I contributed to
your divorce too.
You have to try
and cling to Mom at least once
to make things fair.
You saved my life twice.
I'll really take care
of my health this time
and make sure we never meet
in an operating room again.
I'm happy to hear that.
What happened…
with your father?
I donated my bone marrow.
Not as his son, but as a doctor.
If it's a decision
you won't come to regret,
then that's enough.
I now think of my
parents in the US,
who raised me unconditionally,
as my true parents.
I realized it so
late like a fool.
Professor Kim.
Thank you so much.
For performing
surgery on me so well,
and for offering
to donate your liver to me.
I'll never forget that
for the rest of my life.
You'll really never forget?
Of course.
There is one way
you'll never forget.
You can have me
by your side forever.
Actually,
I like you, Dr. Cha.
I've wanted to say
this for a long time,
but I'm only managing to now.
Thank you.
Those words are like…
a beautifully bright ray
of spring sunshine.
But…
as for me,
I think I'm too tired
now to live my life
only relying on
that ray of sunshine.
What's precious to me now
is mundane, everyday life.
Rather than someone like me,
I think that you
should meet someone
who is well suited for you
in every single way.
You should get married,
enjoy newlywed life…
have a kid or two,
and live a busy life…
as you grow old together.
You…
may think I'm old-fashioned,
but that's how I feel.
The freesias are
so pretty, right?
I like them a lot.
They're quite popular
as they have a good meaning behind them.
"I support your
new beginning."
I didn't know that
was the meaning behind freesias.
That's why they're popular for graduations
and entrance ceremonies.
I'll buy some freesias.
- Hello.
- How can I help you?
Can I have a pregnancy test?
One moment.
3 YEARS LATER
IN USE
INSTRUCTIONAL USE
You passed.
And I thought you
had zero motor skills!
But you're quite amazing.
What are you talking about?
I have amazing spatial perception.
Don't you have to leave?
I do. It's a busy time.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hello.
Yeong-ho, I'll do that
so you take the orders.
Hello.
NEW ORDER
Here is your
blueberry chicory salad.
Chicory has a lot of dietary fiber that
prevents your blood sugar from spiking.
It also reduces the absorption of glucose,
so it's very good for diabetes.
Enjoy and stay healthy.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Let's eat.
Dr. Cha, it's time for you
to see patients.
- Okay, I'll go.
- Okay.

Thoracic outlet syndrome?
Yes, there's a triangular space
in our body that's formed by our ribs,
collarbone, and shoulder blades.
Pain can form when the nerves
and blood vessels here are pushed down.
Degenerative conditions can form
in our neck or shoulders as we get older,
which also cause pain
like what you're going through.
You're right. It
hurts everywhere now that I'm old.
First, let's take an X-ray
and see what the issue is.
If your daily life is still difficult
even after taking medicine,
then you should go
to a bigger hospital
and get a thorough
medical checkup.
But I think it'd be good to always sit
with the correct posture.
- Straighten out your shoulders.
- Yes.
You have to make a constant effort
to sit up straight.
And don't look
at your cell phone too often.
You should never
lift heavy things.
This is bad.
I have to make kimchi tomorrow.
Goodness, no.
Tell your husband and kids
to lift the heavy things for you.
Gosh, I should do that.
- Yes.
- I should.
This place sells healthy salads
and you listen to
all your patients with such care.
I'm so thrilled
that a place like this
- opened up in the neighborhood.
- Really?
And I even found a magazine article
that said this is a unique clinic.
You saw that?
Did my picture come out great?
- Gosh, you're our neighborhood star.
- Me?
- Mom.
- Hey.
Did you pass?
Of course, I passed.
I'm your daughter, after all.
It'd be nice if you didn't ride
a motorcycle given how dangerous it is.
Come on, I just got the license.
I don't know if I'll ride one or not.
Sure, think thoroughly about it.
I'm already getting anxious
at the thought of you riding motorcycles.
But Mom, as I was coming in
and saw you taking care of the garden,
I thought all of this
was so picturesque.
This is wonderful.
I feel like I'm
living in a dream too.
When you received
your second surgery,
I really felt like dying.
It's a miracle for someone to come back
from the brink of death twice.
So for me,
I don't hate In-ho or his mother
at all anymore.
I'm grateful for everything.
Of course, I'm grateful too.
They still gave us this building,
though it has some loans on it.
Do I seem too materialistic
if I'm like this?
Yes, just a little.
Mom, the bok choy grew so well.
They're growing so well.
Everything here tastes so good.
IN SURGERY
- Great work, Doctor.
- Great work.
Right, it's not this way.
How did it go?
That woman's colon
really was quite long.
She must've had trouble
with her bowel movement.
The surgery went well.
She'll be a lot better now.
What a relief. Good job.
Do you have time on
a weekday next week?
There's an 80-year-old man
in the hospice ward of my hospital.
He's had a hernia for a while,
so he'll need surgery.
Do you think I'm some
kind of superhuman?
I'm busy with both the hospital
and your surgery favors.
I'm busier now than I was
when I was a first-year resident.
I need to rest too, you know?
He's a poor, elderly man
with no family or friends.
You can't expect to sit back
and do a good
deed at the same time.
Forget it if you don't want to.
Who said I didn't want to?
I'll do it.
FAMILY MEDICINE
SPECIALIST, CHA JEONG-SUK
Hey.
I forgot to tell you something.
Do you remember Roy?
Professor Kim?
What about him?
I think he's seeing someone.
And it's serious.
What?
Hey.
Were you waiting long?
Let's go have something good.
- I know.
- You do?
I go to him for regular checkups
every two months even now.
He spoke about
her a couple of times.
Don't you think it's a shame?
It's a shame for sure.
But from the very beginning,
I couldn't see the
two of us together.
Goodness.
Then did you see
you and In-ho together?
Hey!
Jeong-suk, you said you were
going to Gangwon-do today, right?
To be a medical volunteer.
Yes, do you want to come too?
I love you.
How is it?
Your numbers.
Your numbers are
all back to normal.
Amazing!
You did so well.
You must have worked really hard.
This is all thanks to you
since you visited often and helped me.
I was a bit of help, wasn't I?
Of course!
Do you think it's
easy to come here
all the way from Seoul
as regularly as you have?
I told you the first time we met
that I'll come
back no matter what.
Thank you.
I'm the one who's grateful.
You did such a good job.
SEOPGYO-RI REST AREA
Why did she ask me to come here?
I have bad memories of this place.
- Father, you're here.
- Hey.
Hello.
You got here quickly.
Go ahead and play.
There was no traffic.
Man, I'm tired.
All I want is to go to a sauna
and sweat things out.
Really? That's great.
Then head into town
and go to the bathhouse.
You can go with
those men over there.
The bathhouse? And
not treat any patients?
Didn't you call me
to treat patients?
No, I called you here
because I needed a hand.
The bathhouse volunteers
hadn't been able to come
so the elders
couldn't take proper baths for a while.
- So?
- So I want you to help.
Me?
This feels so good.
You're good at this.
All done!
- Thank you.
- Yes, you can go this way.
Okay, next!
Sir, you can go that way.
Jung-min.
Lather him up.
- I'll finish things up for you later.
- Okay.
Okay, come this way.
I guess he's really tired.
Father.
Father.
Father!
He was tired.
He must be tired.
You have to go now.
Great job, Father.
Thanks for the coffee.
Drink it and shake
off your sleepiness.
I'm really tired.
You did a great job.
The elders loved it so much.
I put every last bit of energy
I had into it.
Right, be good to your mother.
She called me a
couple of days ago.
I heard you nagged her
about the dishes too.
Mother, you shouldn't clean them
so roughly like that.
You should clean them with chemicals,
not physical strength.
Then you do it.
You're all talk.
- Did I say anything wrong?
- Jeez.
- Mother is just being sensitive.
- Gosh.
Do you think I don't know you?
Even if it's the
truth, say it nicely.
Nicely.
- Nicely.
- Okay.
That snow was unexpected.
It was amazing
before. So pretty.
Will you go back to
the Surgery Department
once you're done
serving as an army doctor?
I think I hated the Surgery Department
more out of rebellion.
But now that time has passed,
I want to go back into the surgery room.
That's a relief.
But when you return,
you'll have to
call me "professor,"
even though I'm just
a clinical assistant professor.
You rank so much
higher than me now.
I actually took a
pregnancy test recently.
What?
Don't worry. It
was negative.
But the thing is,
I thought about
what it'd be like
if it was positive.
In that short moment,
I imagined us getting married
and having a kid.
It wasn't as bad as I thought.
I'm just saying! Do
you have anything to say about that?
Like, "I want to spend
the rest of my life with…"
Jeez.
I mean, I…
Just now…
For a split second,
I thought you were going to say
you were pregnant.
And…
at that moment,
I was feeling giddy.
What?
You seem disappointed.
Our kid came
and left in an instant.
I want to see you, kiddo!
Hey, why are you speaking so loudly?
People will hear you.
Come here.
Kids, what's taking so long?
You should pack your things.
Let's go.
It'd be nice if we went too.
Will you be okay alone?
You have to take a boat
since it's a submerged area.
No, I can go alone.
There's a nurse and
a social worker too.
You should hurry and go
before you get stuck in traffic.
Go.
Then we'll get going.
Mom, me too.
Message me often, Jung-min.
What? Hurry up and go.
Okay then. Bye.
- Bye.
- You drive. I really can't right now.
Jung-min, drive safely.
- I'll call you.
- Call me.
Hello.
What's with the weather today?
I'm a little late, aren't I?
No, we just got here too.
Let's go.
- How many places are we visiting today?
- Three places.
I'm grateful for everything I'm
able to see because I'm alive.
So I believe that
I'm happy
at this moment, as it is.
