Doctor Cha (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript
DOCTOR CHA
- Dr. Cha, congratulations!
- Congratulations!
- Dr. Cha.
- Yes?
- What were you going to talk to me about?
- Sorry?
Didn't you come to my office
to tell me something?
That…
It was nothing.
Really? I see.
- What is your deal?
- What do you mean?
- What?
- Why did you push me?
You pushed yourself, not me.
- Are you joking?
- Joking?
I don't have to joke with you.
What's with the tie?
Do you work at a bar or something?
I need to talk to you.
Just go away.
"Waiter, I'll have
some snacks…"
Did you tell your department?
I can inform my department
if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself.
I need more time
to think about this.
Haven't you had
enough time to think?
What's there to think about now?
Why are you so
keen on kicking me out?
What do you mean?
You're the one who decided to quit.
And this is all for the sake of you
and our family.
Right. What a
great excuse.
Yes, Cha Jeong-suk speaking.
Yes.
Okay, I'm coming right now!
CHOI SEUNG-HI
Hello?
You told me she was going
to quit working at the hospital!
Let's meet and
talk. See you later.
Ma'am, stay with us.
Check her blood sugar level.
- It's at 120.
- Please administer one dose of lorazepam.
Administering one
dose of lorazepam.
She was granted a stay of execution
but with her condition…
Does that mean
she can go home?
It does.
But she has no
family and no home.
There are a lot
of people like her.
Ma'am.
What can I do to convince you
to get yourself treated?
I don't deserve
to be treated like a mother.
What would my
daughter look like?
My daughter did well in school, so
she was planning to go to med school.
But I have no idea
where she is or how she's living.
I don't know if she got to study medicine
given how expensive it is.
She had no one to help her.
What made you so certain?
You shouldn't
have given me hope.
She said herself
that she would quit.
- I didn't know...
- What will you do now?
I can't work with your wife.
Give me time to think...
When will you ever
reach a conclusion?
Darn it.
Get out.
- What?
- I said get out.
I can't bear being in
the same car as you.
What about dinner?
I thought you wanted cold noodles.
Enjoy the stupid
noodles by yourself.
Where am I?
I left my bag.
I think I might've gone mad.
I slightly envy you these days.
It feels like
there's no progress in life for me,
but it feels as
if time runs backward for you.
Come on.
Hey, anyway,
you know people
in the medical association, right?
Yes, I do.
I told you one of my patients is a felon
who got a life sentence, right?
I want to find her daughter.
Could you lend me a hand?
She has a unique
name. Han Yeong-long.
Jeong-suk.
- Do I look like a private investigator?
- You little…
You have lots of connections.
Help me out here.
Hello.
Who is that?
He's a professor
in the department I'm dispatched to.
What's funny is he's the one
who performed my liver transplant.
He came to this
hospital recently.
Is he married?
No.
- What's his personality like?
- He's nice.
Why didn't you tell someone that handsome
was working at this hospital?
Is that…
something I should
be sharing with you?
Whatever. Can you set us up
so we can meet naturally?
Hey! We're not
some teenagers.
Didn't you say you need my help
in finding that felon's daughter?
I guess you aren't
that desperate about it.
Didn't you get a physical checkup
done last year?
A quite expensive one, at that.
Just because I
had beef last year
doesn't mean I can't
have it again this year.
Yes, you're right.
By the way,
since the kids are here, let's be careful
how we address each other.
Sure.
As you wish, Ms. Ae-sim.
- Ms. Ae-sim?
- "Hey, Ae-sim."
I can't address
you like that, can I?
The botox you got last time settled
a bit unnaturally on your face.
Your eyebrows don't match.
- Ms. Kwak Ae-sim.
- Yes.
Ms. Oh Deok-rye.
Yes.
Goodness.
Honey.
Honey.
This is so delicious.
How did you find
such a great restaurant?
It's been so long
since I've met someone on my level.
Oh, my. This is crazy.
She really must be dating.
It's been a long time.
Have you…
been well?
You shamelessly turned your back
on your family for 20 years,
and you ask if I've been well?
You must be her.
It's nice to meet you.
What's your name?
What's the point in asking that?
This family hasn't
changed one bit.
It's still old-fashioned
and ignorant.
You're one to talk.
You must be so sophisticated
that you had an illegitimate child
and came to Dad's funeral
for your share of the inheritance.
Listen.
Back then, I was
too young and naive,
so I thought I was a sinner
for having a child outside of marriage.
That's why I kept a low profile.
I can understand
Dad's anger toward me
because he expected much from me
as you were so pathetic.
But…
it's plain rude of you
to treat me like this.
He's the one who stopped your father
from disowning you.
If you had been disowned,
you wouldn't have any money to your name,
let alone an inheritance.
People would laugh
to hear you say
I have no money to my name.
Stop showing off
when you're only a working doctor.
Just get lost.
Well, this working doctor is
about to become rich.
Talk to my lawyer
regarding the inheritance.
Don't even think of
leaving out a single coin.
You know I'm much
smarter than you, right?
Let's go.
- You little...
- Excuse me!
My name
is Choi Eun-seo.
I'm not some illegitimate child.
I'm Choi Seung-hi's daughter,
Choi Eun-seo.
Mom, are you sad?
Yes.
What are you sad about?
About Grandpa dying,
or Uncle being that rude to you?
Both.
Then you should cry.
I should.
Her daughter really
did become a doctor.
She runs her own
clinic in Gangnam.
She married into an affluent
family and has two kids.
SOOTHING INTERNAL
MEDICINE CLINIC
What are your symptoms?
I didn't actually come here
because I'm sick.
Well…
I came to speak to
you about your mother.
Your mother is currently a patient
at Gusan University Hospital.
And I'm her doctor.
Your mother misses you a lot.
I may be out of line here,
but I wanted to help her,
so I asked around about you.
I had forgotten about my mother.
To be frank, all of this is making me
extremely uncomfortable.
Your mother was
granted a stay of execution.
She doesn't have
to live in prison anymore.
But she has nowhere to go.
I heard there are organizations
for people like her.
Please don't put
that pressure on me.
We're worse off than strangers.
Would it be too
difficult to understand
your mother?
Who?
Me?
Mom.
Hey, welcome home.
Mom, what is that?
It's medicine for your dad.
You must be hungry.
Do you want to eat?
- Yes.
- Give me a second.
You're not eating?
I will.
I was…
the one who poisoned
his food. Not her.
I wanted to be free
of that hellish life.
I'm the one who poisoned him.
So…
who's supposed to
understand whom?
The child she gave birth to
made her go to jail.
Your mother…
will understand.
You must know since
you're a mother too.
Overall, you've taken good care
of your health.
No need to take any pills
for diabetes or blood pressure.
Your bone density is high
considering your age.
That's a relief.
And the mole you were worried
about on your back.
We did a biopsy on it.
It's benign. So you
don't have to worry.
Then you're saying it's okay, right?
It's not something like cancer?
It's not.
I guess I worried for nothing.
It's such a relief I came to check.
I should have listened
to my daughter earlier.
My daughter said I
should get a checkup.
Your daughter was very wise.
Yes.
Cancer?
It's cancer,
but it's thyroid cancer.
The treatment is simple and easy
compared to other cancers.
Cancer is cancer.
What kind of cancer is simple?
You always talk about things
related to me as if they're nothing.
Jeong-suk is right.
Don't worry. The surgery is simple
and the prognosis is good.
Your father died of cancer.
The word cancer itself is so frightening
that it wakes me up at night.
Goodness, how
could life be so cruel?
I-rang, get me water.
Hey, get it yourself.
Seriously.
How lazy can you be?
Jung-min, when did you get home?
Hello.
- I-rang, you're back from your academy?
- Yes.
Did you kids hear the news?
I have cancer.
Grandma, the surgery
isn't a big deal.
You'll be admitted
for three or four days
and make sure to take hormone medication
after the surgery.
Here.
You have to eat well.
You need strength
to get surgery.
You're the only one
who cares about me, Professor Park.
Of course.
When we were young, were we able
to consider our parents' feelings?
You're right.
What you're saying is right.
That's why I'm investing again.
At our age, we need money in our hands
to be treated like adults.
Professor, what
are you investing in?
A friend of mine opened up
a big convalescent hospital.
I pleaded and barely just got in
on the action.
How much did you invest?
Currently, you can be approved for a loan
of up to 1.18 billion won.
But the building is
under Cha Jeong-suk's name.
Yes. That's my daughter-in-law
and because of taxes...
I'm the one who
manages everything.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Even if you're family,
the owner has to be here for the loan.
I'm telling you I'm
the actual owner.
It was initially mine.
Please visit with your daughter-in-law
to take out your loan.
GUKIL BANK
Did you think I
didn't know that?
I never told her
the house is under her name.
We will now begin the resident
disciplinary committee meeting.
Dr. Cha Jeong-suk, Ms. Jang Hae-nam
is your patient, right?
- Yes.
- You knew she was a prisoner under custody
so why did you escort her to her tests
without a corrections officer present?
The corrections officer
at the time was ill
and asked me to escort the patient
to get her tests done.
And I said yes.
Apparently, you also requested
the patient's handcuffs to be loosened.
The patient's wrists
were badly wounded,
so I requested it.
Then shouldn't you have been
more cautious with the patient?
I was in the middle
of escorting the patient
when Professor Choi Seung-hi asked me
to go on an urgent errand.
So I was going to ask an intern
to take over,
but the patient disappeared.
Are you blaming
this on Professor Choi?
No.
It is my fault. I did not suspect
the patient would leave the hospital.
Dr. Cha, you may leave.
Yes, sir.
Goodness.
Director, what will you do?
We'll reduce her
wages for three months.
Director.
A murderer escaped the hospital
without authorization.
I don't think this is
something to be taken lightly.
But the patient returned
without an issue.
Thanks to Dr. Cha,
we received two robotic
surgical systems.
It's not a small feat.
Our department benefited the most,
so can't we be a little generous?
Professor Seo?
A three-month
wage reduction will do.
If we fire or suspend Dr. Cha
and Chairman Oh finds out,
we'll lose 10 billion won.
A wise decision, sir.
Dr. Han.
I'm glad you're here.
Mom.
Your daughter was being treated
at the OB-GYN for constipation
and abdominal pain.
But after she was moved to our department,
we discovered a mass.
We have to perform a C-section
before operating on the cancer.
But your daughter insists on waiting
until the baby weighs two kilograms
before removing the cancer.
Who is the baby's father?
Well…
I'm not exactly sure.
Why are you
asking the doctor that?
If she's giving birth
to a fatherless child,
she can stay unmarried
and raise the baby on her own!
Why would you curse a girl
with a promising future ahead of her?
Why don't you live alone
if you like that idea so much?
Let go!
Please stop.
It's about after the surgery.
Yes, go ahead.
Can't you just tell our daughter
that the baby died?
We'll put the baby up for adoption
through a trusted agency.
I can't just let my 20-year-old daughter
become a mother like this.
That's out of the question.
We don't have that right either.
You should…
try persuading your daughter.
We have to catch
that worthless father
and beat him to a pulp.
We need to restrict the employment
of assholes who abandon their kids.
They should have
electronic ankle monitors
or be chemically
castrated like criminals.
Single parents get pointed at and blamed
because of scumbags like them.
The innocent kids get adopted abroad
and live like strangers
before coming back
looking for their birth parents.
- Aren't I right?
- Sure.
Hey, pour me some soda.
This country should stop telling people
to have more kids
and focus on supporting the kids
who get adopted abroad instead.
The government
always does nothing.
Didn't you say you were going
to a buffet later?
Because it's your
grandmother's birthday?
A buffet is a buffet.
Fried chicken is fried chicken.
- Right?
- Totally.
Are you just coming back?
Yes.
My parents threw
a fit earlier, right?
It makes sense.
Even I'm worried about you.
It's natural for them to worry
Do you agree with my parents
and think my baby should be
given up for adoption?
Not really.
But what I know is that
an entirely different life will unfold.
I know that too.
Do you think I
haven't considered that?
I'll go now. This
isn't good for the baby.
Don't give out
ridiculous advice.
Just because you're an adult doesn't mean
you have the right to give out advice.
Raising a child on
your own isn't easy.
How would you know that
when you raised
your kids in comfort?
I just shared my concern
because I'm a parent too.
You should know too
since you have a daughter.
Were you snooping on me?
"Snooping"?
I just happened to hear you
on the phone with your daughter.
I guess she could
have the same one.
It's a bracelet you can buy
from the department store after all.
I'm sorry I yelled
at you that night.
I know it's not your fault.
I don't think I have the right
to receive an apology from you.
About your wife.
What will you do if she says
she's going to finish her residency?
Just give me a little time.
Did you say
goodbye to your father?
Yes, I went to the funeral.
There's a single mom
among your patients.
Right, what about her?
That girl's parents want
to put the baby up for adoption.
My dad said the same thing.
He continued to think Eun-seo
ruined my life until the day he died.
That's why I think
you're so amazing.
Thank you for not
giving up on Eun-seo.
Do you mean it?
What do you mean?
I remember how
your face went pale
when I told you
I was pregnant with Eun-seo.
Even now, you try so hard
to look happy when you see her.
Throughout my entire life,
I always turned pale
when someone told me
that they were having my child.
I assure you it wasn't
just with Eun-seo.
Can you go home late today?
How late?
Not showering?
Well,
I just wanted to
comfortably rest.
We came all the way here.
You just want to rest?
Yes.
Sure, that's understandable.
There was excitement between us
since we weren't married.
If we were, we'd
be using separate rooms already.
It's not that.
Then what is it?
Do you have another woman?
The truth is…
- I'm taking medication.
- Medication?
- What kind of medication?
- Finasteride.
I've been balding on
the top of my head.
You know the side effects.
It's not reacting at all.
You just started
taking it, right?
You're just getting used to it.
After a month,
it'll start doing its job again.
You can't be sure.
It's not like I can quit
medication for hair loss.
I haven't seen you
being this cute in a while.
Were you so worried about that?
You should have told me
from the beginning.
Then for today…
let's hold hands,
chat, and order
something delicious.
Forget it.
We're not some gal pals.
We can be gal pals for today.
This is nice.
Then is this how I
become a woman?
No, you'll become a man again.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Why are you so late?
- How have you been?
- Grandma, happy birthday.
Let's go eat, come on.
- Have you been well?
- Yes, Auntie. How about you?
What is it? Do
you know them?
Sorry?
No, not really.
Let's go.
This country's traffic order is a mess
because of the likes of you!
You're the one who swerved in
without using your turn signals!
Look at you,
not even bothering to apologize.
How dare you stare
and talk to me like that?
How old are you?
Look at the
direction of the car!
What about the direction?
Let's hear it.
- This is a new car!
- Sir, you can talk to me.
Go inside.
Goodness.
You should've helped her sooner.
Hey, it's been a while.
Yes, it has been.
- Have you been well?
- Of course.
I actually have a
favor to ask you.
To me?
You'll be dispatched to
family medicine next, right?
Yes, that's right.
Can't you switch with me?
I'll be in pediatrics.
Can we please switch?
Please?
Oh, my. You have
the same one as me.
I guess this must be
popular these days.
I keep seeing it around.
I got this as a birthday gift
from my boyfriend.
Me too. I got this as a birthday present
from my husband too.
I thought you said
your husband passed away.
Well…
A long time ago.
I got this
before he died.
Anyway, I can switch.
So it's pediatrics?
Yes, thank you so
much, Jeong-suk.
Your order is ready.
Thank you.
This is for you.
Thank you, I'll get going.
GUSAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
- Was that your last surgery for the day?
- No, I have another one left.
I normally try not to interfere
in other people's business.
But thinking about it, I realized
it's not exactly unrelated to me
since Dr. Cha
is both my patient and colleague.
How about you stop
deceiving your wife?
You and Professor Choi Seung-hi.
It greatly irks me
to try and turn a blind eye
to what is happening.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
And let me warn you.
Mind your own business
unless you want to get
needlessly misconstrued.
How dare he?
The patient is experiencing
a lot of diarrhea,
so I tested for PMC,
and it came out positive.
The patient is on
oral vancomycin
but since the diarrhea didn't stop,
I prescribed an antidiarrheal.
Which antidiarrheal?
Loperamide.
Are you out of your mind?
Don't you know what happens
if a PMC patient takes that?
If you administer loperamide,
which reduces bowel movements,
there will be a bacterial overgrowth
and the PMC worsens.
You should know this.
From now on, don't join in on rounds
and don't come into the operating room.
No, don't bother
coming in at all.
Why not start with actually
bothering to study first?
Preferably somewhere
out of the way.
Get out.
Stop hanging around
against my orders.
What brings you here?
I'm in charge of this patient.
Professor Seo
told me to take over.
I'll finish up.
Please move.
I'm already busy as is.
What are you doing?
Are you screwing me over
because I'm not quitting?
Stop reading
into it. It's not that.
Then why are you treating me
like I'm invisible?
I'm following my belief not to give work
to someone incompetent.
It is rational and fair.
I thought you wanted to be treated
like any other resident?
This is your ridiculous
way of telling me
to quit working.
- What?
- Is it an illness of yours or just a habit
to play dirty against
someone powerless
and still act like
you're high and mighty?
You're all about
rationality and reason.
So did you think I'd quit
if you made a fool out of me?
Like I did 20 years ago?
Yes!
So please just quit!
Do you know how hard it is
to see you at work?
You say whatever you want,
but have you ever considered how I feel?
No.
I didn't think
about how you felt on purpose.
I want to put myself
first from now on.
I finally realized
there's a life for me out there,
so I can't stop again now!
Honey, this is my last chance.
Please…
let me continue down this path.
I won't even ask for you
to help pave the road or hold my hand.
Just…
let me be able to
walk down this path.
You don't have to come.
Professor.
What are you doing here?
I know, right?
What am I doing here?
Do you remember
when you told me to quit last time?
You said that on purpose, right?
Of course.
Because I knew
that you wouldn't quit.
It seems like I
held out in vain.
Dr. Cha.
How about we become friends?
Not rapport, but actual friends.
Friends?
That's a little too much.
I mean, aren't I older than you?
Come on.
Just be friends with me.
Do you want to exercise with me?
Let's run a marathon.
A marathon?
Yes.
Ever since I was young,
I could leave every worry behind
once I started running.
That's why I like it.
Right.
When I was young, there was
this cartoon called Run Hany.
The main character, Hany,
would run and console herself
because she missed
her late mother so much.
Then I naturally knew
that running is a good exercise
that helps you forget
about all the bad things in your head.
That's great then.
I have a crew that
runs on the weekends.
You should join us.
Dr. Kim, can I
bring a friend along?
We're going to start at Jamsu Bridge
and follow north of Hangang Bridge.
Then we'll hit Nodeul Island
and come back to Jamsu Bridge.
It's about 9km?
But since we're beginners,
I don't think we can run for 9km.
Professor, can't you run along
slowly with us?
All right. Shall
we begin now?
How about we start
by walking briskly?
We'll warm ourselves up
for the first two kilometers,
then we'll begin running.
Okay, let's go!
Hey.
Didn't you finish
a full marathon?
Me?
That's news to me.
Goodness, that
sneaky little fox.
Lift it.
A little more.
It's not this side.
No, the opposite.
This side...
Professor, are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
Yes, hold it like that.
Okay.
It's adhesive capsulitis.
Simply put, a frozen shoulder.
A frozen shoulder?
It's not a ligament rupture?
No.
It won't heal fast.
If you get physical therapy
and stretch regularly,
then it'll help with the pain
and recover your mobility.
Does it hurt a lot?
Do you want a shot?
I'm too young to
have a frozen shoulder.
What do you mean?
You're almost 50.
What are you...
Hey, are you balding?
The top of your
head is looking sparse.
Right.
I'm taking medication
for hair loss.
Thanks to it, I
can't even get it up!
The implant I got two years ago
is coming back up.
I have dysfunctions
everywhere! Happy?
I don't even know
who I am or where I am.
I can't feel my legs.
- He's coming.
- You did well.
- You did really well for your first time.
- Thank you.
To thank you for
allowing us to join in,
how about we
have dinner together?
It'll be my treat.
I'm so tired.
Right, I know
some good places around here.
Sorry, I already
have plans today.
- I'll join next time.
- Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
I think maybe that guy
is interested in you.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Look how naive you are.
Asking to work out together
is clearly a move to start something up.
Stop saying ridiculous things.
It's not good to have
excessive delusions.
Then is this
a type of friendship
Americans have?
Who cares?
Don't these kinds of misunderstandings
and delusions make life fun?
Baek Mi-hee, you must still be young
to be able to think like that.
I'm going.
- Should we do another lap?
- Forget it.
Let's run one more lap.
MY LOVE TO YOU
Hello.
You should be careful.
- I really like this TV show too.
- Sorry.
I see.
They say the leads
are really dating each other.
No wonder they
have great chemistry.
I'll have to take
responsibility.
Excuse me.
Are you not going to pay?
Dr. Cha.
Should we have dinner tonight?
We weren't able to last time.
Then…
should I also invite my friend?
No.
Just the two of us.
Just the two of us?
Yes.
Don't you want to?
What was that?
What is wrong with me?
Why did I have that kind of dream?
I must be crazy.
This is so embarrassing.
I must be out of my mind.
Why is my heart
racing like this?
Goodness.
I really am crazy!
I can't believe this!
He's a leukemia patient?
Yes. His lower abdomen hurt for a week,
and he was admitted to the ER
after he felt stabbing pains.
Judging by the MRI and CT scans,
there are signs of colorectal cancer.
The biopsies didn't
show any malignancy.
There's something in the mesorectum
and it doesn't seem normal.
We have no choice
but to do a surgical biopsy.
When Dr. Jeon spoke during the briefing,
we learned he was a leukemia patient.
Right.
After that, two
biopsies were done.
But they didn't
come out as malignant.
Based on the CT
and MRI scans…
Are you okay?
This too shall pass.
You've been staring
at something for a while. What is it?
It's a little weird.
This is the abdominal CT scan
of the patient, Choi Gyeong-su.
This is what was
taken in the ER.
And this was taken
after the biopsy was done.
There seems to be a
tiny decrease in size.
Really?
I can't really tell.
Maybe this isn't
cancer tissue but…
An abscess?
It's not common, but I thought it may be
an abscess in the rectal diverticulum.
Sure, you know
that it's not common.
Don't you think it's weird
that you found a rare condition
with one CT scan,
Dr. Cha Jeong-suk?
I remember I had a similar case
when I was an intern.
If it's an abscess,
you don't have to put a sick patient
through a surgical biopsy
and can just drain it.
Forget it.
This decision was made after MRI,
CT, and even PET-CT scans were taken.
An abscess? What
in the world are you talking about?
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Are you, a first-year resident,
challenging me, a professor?
That's right, I gave it a shot.
But if I'm right,
allow me to work again.
What if you're wrong?
Are you going to
quit or something?
Fine.
If I'm wrong,
I'll quit.
Deal.
Reserve a surgery room
for Mr. Choi Gyeong-su's biopsy.
I'll perform it myself.
Keep your promise.
You keep yours.
Lift it up more.
To the left.
If you go straight in like this,
it'll definitely come out.
Just like this…
The biopsy results
for Choi Gyeong-su came out.
What is it?
Damn it.
- Doctor, I'll take over now.
- What?
Professor Seo In-ho said
that I can take over now.
- Thank you.
- That's a relief.
All right then.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
Hello.
You're a surgeon.
Why are you here getting acupuncture?
I'm trying out everything.
If it means getting
better quickly,
I'd be willing to put anything
on my shoulder.
When you have time,
put a hot compress on it.
Doctor, it's time for
Kim Min-su's Chuna…
Okay. Rest up.
Okay.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. Seo.
I'm I-rang's homeroom teacher.
Yes, hello.
I wanted to discuss
I-rang's college admissions,
but Ms. Cha isn't
answering her phone.
That's why I called you.
I see. You can
speak to me about it.
I-rang wants to apply for
Hanguk University's College of Fine Arts.
They pick according to grades,
so she'll have no trouble
making it past the first round.
Wait.
Yes.
It's hard for me to talk
on the phone right now.
Yes.
I'll call you back.
Yes.
We finished quickly.
Are you just going to go home?
I'm going to go see my mom
at the hospital.
I see. The person who came
to pick you up last time?
She was really pretty.
- Really?
- Yes.
She looked like she
could be your aunt.
Are you strong,
mentally speaking?
I think I'm average.
Why do you ask?
You're in 12th grade.
No matter what happens,
you need to stay strong.
CERTIFICATE
OF ACHIEVEMENT
I'm home...
- Come on, let go of me!
- Honey, please.
- I said I'm just going to go home!
- No, gosh.
Hey, they said my X-ray results were fine.
Why aren't you letting me go home?
You may be fine now,
but there could be internal bleeding.
- You've been drinking, right?
- Yes.
- So just stay here a bit longer.
- Hey.
Do you think I can't tell
you're overcharging me because I'm drunk?
Stop cursing!
- Don't hit him.
- I'm sorry.
Sir, please sit down for now.
You're angry because
I'm not letting you leave, right?
- Dr. Cha. Please hurry up and come here.
- Okay.
- Please keep an eye on him.
- Okay.
We need an IV drip here.
- Yes.
- Gosh.
- Why are you acting like this?
- Stop it!
Drink this and sober up!
You shouldn't have drunk
and tripped in the first place.
That's enough!
Sir, please lie down.
Gosh.
Gosh, honey!
Doctor!
- I'll take a look.
- Okay.
Sir?
Sir, are you all right?
- Bring the crash cart.
- Okay.
Honey.
Sir!
See you tomorrow.
Right.
Patient Lee Yeong-bok
went into emergency surgery.
It was a spontaneous
mesenteric hematoma.
The bleeding must have resumed
after it was temporarily pressed
between the intestines.
It wasn't obvious because
his blood pressure was stable for a while.
That's such a relief.
Why didn't you let him go home?
There was no fracture
or any other abnormal sign.
Well…
I touched his abdominal area,
and his abdominal guarding seemed unusual
even for someone drunk.
I thought he had
some muscle stiffness.
So I stopped him
from being discharged just in case.
You did a good job.
Oh, my.
Aren't you Eun-seo?
I-rang's friend?
Hello.
But why are you here?
I came to meet my mom.
Your mom works here?
She's a doctor, right?
- Yes.
- Eun-seo.
Mom.
I recently heard your daughter
and Eun-seo are friends.
What an interesting
relationship we have.
I'll get going
first. Let's go.
JUST SILENCE
Where's Dad?
Indoor golfing.
I hear indoor golf centers are
the hottest place for affairs.
I recently heard your daughter
and Eun-seo are friends.
What an interesting
relationship we have.
Professor.
You don't run at full
speed in a marathon.
Do you think you actually
are Hany or something?
What brings you here?
I have something to tell you.
Something to tell me?
What do you...
It's something very important.
If I don't tell you today,
I might never be able to.
DOCTOR CHA
Why would that young professor
like a mother of two?
I'm saying working close
together may lead to it.
That punk knows about us.
If you want to tell Dr. Cha about
us, go ahead.
You've never experienced
what I have either.
It seems like someone
is trying to jump.
Dr. Cha went to dissuade him
because she's his doctor.
Subtitle translation
by: Yoon-ji Chi
- Dr. Cha, congratulations!
- Congratulations!
- Dr. Cha.
- Yes?
- What were you going to talk to me about?
- Sorry?
Didn't you come to my office
to tell me something?
That…
It was nothing.
Really? I see.
- What is your deal?
- What do you mean?
- What?
- Why did you push me?
You pushed yourself, not me.
- Are you joking?
- Joking?
I don't have to joke with you.
What's with the tie?
Do you work at a bar or something?
I need to talk to you.
Just go away.
"Waiter, I'll have
some snacks…"
Did you tell your department?
I can inform my department
if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself.
I need more time
to think about this.
Haven't you had
enough time to think?
What's there to think about now?
Why are you so
keen on kicking me out?
What do you mean?
You're the one who decided to quit.
And this is all for the sake of you
and our family.
Right. What a
great excuse.
Yes, Cha Jeong-suk speaking.
Yes.
Okay, I'm coming right now!
CHOI SEUNG-HI
Hello?
You told me she was going
to quit working at the hospital!
Let's meet and
talk. See you later.
Ma'am, stay with us.
Check her blood sugar level.
- It's at 120.
- Please administer one dose of lorazepam.
Administering one
dose of lorazepam.
She was granted a stay of execution
but with her condition…
Does that mean
she can go home?
It does.
But she has no
family and no home.
There are a lot
of people like her.
Ma'am.
What can I do to convince you
to get yourself treated?
I don't deserve
to be treated like a mother.
What would my
daughter look like?
My daughter did well in school, so
she was planning to go to med school.
But I have no idea
where she is or how she's living.
I don't know if she got to study medicine
given how expensive it is.
She had no one to help her.
What made you so certain?
You shouldn't
have given me hope.
She said herself
that she would quit.
- I didn't know...
- What will you do now?
I can't work with your wife.
Give me time to think...
When will you ever
reach a conclusion?
Darn it.
Get out.
- What?
- I said get out.
I can't bear being in
the same car as you.
What about dinner?
I thought you wanted cold noodles.
Enjoy the stupid
noodles by yourself.
Where am I?
I left my bag.
I think I might've gone mad.
I slightly envy you these days.
It feels like
there's no progress in life for me,
but it feels as
if time runs backward for you.
Come on.
Hey, anyway,
you know people
in the medical association, right?
Yes, I do.
I told you one of my patients is a felon
who got a life sentence, right?
I want to find her daughter.
Could you lend me a hand?
She has a unique
name. Han Yeong-long.
Jeong-suk.
- Do I look like a private investigator?
- You little…
You have lots of connections.
Help me out here.
Hello.
Who is that?
He's a professor
in the department I'm dispatched to.
What's funny is he's the one
who performed my liver transplant.
He came to this
hospital recently.
Is he married?
No.
- What's his personality like?
- He's nice.
Why didn't you tell someone that handsome
was working at this hospital?
Is that…
something I should
be sharing with you?
Whatever. Can you set us up
so we can meet naturally?
Hey! We're not
some teenagers.
Didn't you say you need my help
in finding that felon's daughter?
I guess you aren't
that desperate about it.
Didn't you get a physical checkup
done last year?
A quite expensive one, at that.
Just because I
had beef last year
doesn't mean I can't
have it again this year.
Yes, you're right.
By the way,
since the kids are here, let's be careful
how we address each other.
Sure.
As you wish, Ms. Ae-sim.
- Ms. Ae-sim?
- "Hey, Ae-sim."
I can't address
you like that, can I?
The botox you got last time settled
a bit unnaturally on your face.
Your eyebrows don't match.
- Ms. Kwak Ae-sim.
- Yes.
Ms. Oh Deok-rye.
Yes.
Goodness.
Honey.
Honey.
This is so delicious.
How did you find
such a great restaurant?
It's been so long
since I've met someone on my level.
Oh, my. This is crazy.
She really must be dating.
It's been a long time.
Have you…
been well?
You shamelessly turned your back
on your family for 20 years,
and you ask if I've been well?
You must be her.
It's nice to meet you.
What's your name?
What's the point in asking that?
This family hasn't
changed one bit.
It's still old-fashioned
and ignorant.
You're one to talk.
You must be so sophisticated
that you had an illegitimate child
and came to Dad's funeral
for your share of the inheritance.
Listen.
Back then, I was
too young and naive,
so I thought I was a sinner
for having a child outside of marriage.
That's why I kept a low profile.
I can understand
Dad's anger toward me
because he expected much from me
as you were so pathetic.
But…
it's plain rude of you
to treat me like this.
He's the one who stopped your father
from disowning you.
If you had been disowned,
you wouldn't have any money to your name,
let alone an inheritance.
People would laugh
to hear you say
I have no money to my name.
Stop showing off
when you're only a working doctor.
Just get lost.
Well, this working doctor is
about to become rich.
Talk to my lawyer
regarding the inheritance.
Don't even think of
leaving out a single coin.
You know I'm much
smarter than you, right?
Let's go.
- You little...
- Excuse me!
My name
is Choi Eun-seo.
I'm not some illegitimate child.
I'm Choi Seung-hi's daughter,
Choi Eun-seo.
Mom, are you sad?
Yes.
What are you sad about?
About Grandpa dying,
or Uncle being that rude to you?
Both.
Then you should cry.
I should.
Her daughter really
did become a doctor.
She runs her own
clinic in Gangnam.
She married into an affluent
family and has two kids.
SOOTHING INTERNAL
MEDICINE CLINIC
What are your symptoms?
I didn't actually come here
because I'm sick.
Well…
I came to speak to
you about your mother.
Your mother is currently a patient
at Gusan University Hospital.
And I'm her doctor.
Your mother misses you a lot.
I may be out of line here,
but I wanted to help her,
so I asked around about you.
I had forgotten about my mother.
To be frank, all of this is making me
extremely uncomfortable.
Your mother was
granted a stay of execution.
She doesn't have
to live in prison anymore.
But she has nowhere to go.
I heard there are organizations
for people like her.
Please don't put
that pressure on me.
We're worse off than strangers.
Would it be too
difficult to understand
your mother?
Who?
Me?
Mom.
Hey, welcome home.
Mom, what is that?
It's medicine for your dad.
You must be hungry.
Do you want to eat?
- Yes.
- Give me a second.
You're not eating?
I will.
I was…
the one who poisoned
his food. Not her.
I wanted to be free
of that hellish life.
I'm the one who poisoned him.
So…
who's supposed to
understand whom?
The child she gave birth to
made her go to jail.
Your mother…
will understand.
You must know since
you're a mother too.
Overall, you've taken good care
of your health.
No need to take any pills
for diabetes or blood pressure.
Your bone density is high
considering your age.
That's a relief.
And the mole you were worried
about on your back.
We did a biopsy on it.
It's benign. So you
don't have to worry.
Then you're saying it's okay, right?
It's not something like cancer?
It's not.
I guess I worried for nothing.
It's such a relief I came to check.
I should have listened
to my daughter earlier.
My daughter said I
should get a checkup.
Your daughter was very wise.
Yes.
Cancer?
It's cancer,
but it's thyroid cancer.
The treatment is simple and easy
compared to other cancers.
Cancer is cancer.
What kind of cancer is simple?
You always talk about things
related to me as if they're nothing.
Jeong-suk is right.
Don't worry. The surgery is simple
and the prognosis is good.
Your father died of cancer.
The word cancer itself is so frightening
that it wakes me up at night.
Goodness, how
could life be so cruel?
I-rang, get me water.
Hey, get it yourself.
Seriously.
How lazy can you be?
Jung-min, when did you get home?
Hello.
- I-rang, you're back from your academy?
- Yes.
Did you kids hear the news?
I have cancer.
Grandma, the surgery
isn't a big deal.
You'll be admitted
for three or four days
and make sure to take hormone medication
after the surgery.
Here.
You have to eat well.
You need strength
to get surgery.
You're the only one
who cares about me, Professor Park.
Of course.
When we were young, were we able
to consider our parents' feelings?
You're right.
What you're saying is right.
That's why I'm investing again.
At our age, we need money in our hands
to be treated like adults.
Professor, what
are you investing in?
A friend of mine opened up
a big convalescent hospital.
I pleaded and barely just got in
on the action.
How much did you invest?
Currently, you can be approved for a loan
of up to 1.18 billion won.
But the building is
under Cha Jeong-suk's name.
Yes. That's my daughter-in-law
and because of taxes...
I'm the one who
manages everything.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Even if you're family,
the owner has to be here for the loan.
I'm telling you I'm
the actual owner.
It was initially mine.
Please visit with your daughter-in-law
to take out your loan.
GUKIL BANK
Did you think I
didn't know that?
I never told her
the house is under her name.
We will now begin the resident
disciplinary committee meeting.
Dr. Cha Jeong-suk, Ms. Jang Hae-nam
is your patient, right?
- Yes.
- You knew she was a prisoner under custody
so why did you escort her to her tests
without a corrections officer present?
The corrections officer
at the time was ill
and asked me to escort the patient
to get her tests done.
And I said yes.
Apparently, you also requested
the patient's handcuffs to be loosened.
The patient's wrists
were badly wounded,
so I requested it.
Then shouldn't you have been
more cautious with the patient?
I was in the middle
of escorting the patient
when Professor Choi Seung-hi asked me
to go on an urgent errand.
So I was going to ask an intern
to take over,
but the patient disappeared.
Are you blaming
this on Professor Choi?
No.
It is my fault. I did not suspect
the patient would leave the hospital.
Dr. Cha, you may leave.
Yes, sir.
Goodness.
Director, what will you do?
We'll reduce her
wages for three months.
Director.
A murderer escaped the hospital
without authorization.
I don't think this is
something to be taken lightly.
But the patient returned
without an issue.
Thanks to Dr. Cha,
we received two robotic
surgical systems.
It's not a small feat.
Our department benefited the most,
so can't we be a little generous?
Professor Seo?
A three-month
wage reduction will do.
If we fire or suspend Dr. Cha
and Chairman Oh finds out,
we'll lose 10 billion won.
A wise decision, sir.
Dr. Han.
I'm glad you're here.
Mom.
Your daughter was being treated
at the OB-GYN for constipation
and abdominal pain.
But after she was moved to our department,
we discovered a mass.
We have to perform a C-section
before operating on the cancer.
But your daughter insists on waiting
until the baby weighs two kilograms
before removing the cancer.
Who is the baby's father?
Well…
I'm not exactly sure.
Why are you
asking the doctor that?
If she's giving birth
to a fatherless child,
she can stay unmarried
and raise the baby on her own!
Why would you curse a girl
with a promising future ahead of her?
Why don't you live alone
if you like that idea so much?
Let go!
Please stop.
It's about after the surgery.
Yes, go ahead.
Can't you just tell our daughter
that the baby died?
We'll put the baby up for adoption
through a trusted agency.
I can't just let my 20-year-old daughter
become a mother like this.
That's out of the question.
We don't have that right either.
You should…
try persuading your daughter.
We have to catch
that worthless father
and beat him to a pulp.
We need to restrict the employment
of assholes who abandon their kids.
They should have
electronic ankle monitors
or be chemically
castrated like criminals.
Single parents get pointed at and blamed
because of scumbags like them.
The innocent kids get adopted abroad
and live like strangers
before coming back
looking for their birth parents.
- Aren't I right?
- Sure.
Hey, pour me some soda.
This country should stop telling people
to have more kids
and focus on supporting the kids
who get adopted abroad instead.
The government
always does nothing.
Didn't you say you were going
to a buffet later?
Because it's your
grandmother's birthday?
A buffet is a buffet.
Fried chicken is fried chicken.
- Right?
- Totally.
Are you just coming back?
Yes.
My parents threw
a fit earlier, right?
It makes sense.
Even I'm worried about you.
It's natural for them to worry
Do you agree with my parents
and think my baby should be
given up for adoption?
Not really.
But what I know is that
an entirely different life will unfold.
I know that too.
Do you think I
haven't considered that?
I'll go now. This
isn't good for the baby.
Don't give out
ridiculous advice.
Just because you're an adult doesn't mean
you have the right to give out advice.
Raising a child on
your own isn't easy.
How would you know that
when you raised
your kids in comfort?
I just shared my concern
because I'm a parent too.
You should know too
since you have a daughter.
Were you snooping on me?
"Snooping"?
I just happened to hear you
on the phone with your daughter.
I guess she could
have the same one.
It's a bracelet you can buy
from the department store after all.
I'm sorry I yelled
at you that night.
I know it's not your fault.
I don't think I have the right
to receive an apology from you.
About your wife.
What will you do if she says
she's going to finish her residency?
Just give me a little time.
Did you say
goodbye to your father?
Yes, I went to the funeral.
There's a single mom
among your patients.
Right, what about her?
That girl's parents want
to put the baby up for adoption.
My dad said the same thing.
He continued to think Eun-seo
ruined my life until the day he died.
That's why I think
you're so amazing.
Thank you for not
giving up on Eun-seo.
Do you mean it?
What do you mean?
I remember how
your face went pale
when I told you
I was pregnant with Eun-seo.
Even now, you try so hard
to look happy when you see her.
Throughout my entire life,
I always turned pale
when someone told me
that they were having my child.
I assure you it wasn't
just with Eun-seo.
Can you go home late today?
How late?
Not showering?
Well,
I just wanted to
comfortably rest.
We came all the way here.
You just want to rest?
Yes.
Sure, that's understandable.
There was excitement between us
since we weren't married.
If we were, we'd
be using separate rooms already.
It's not that.
Then what is it?
Do you have another woman?
The truth is…
- I'm taking medication.
- Medication?
- What kind of medication?
- Finasteride.
I've been balding on
the top of my head.
You know the side effects.
It's not reacting at all.
You just started
taking it, right?
You're just getting used to it.
After a month,
it'll start doing its job again.
You can't be sure.
It's not like I can quit
medication for hair loss.
I haven't seen you
being this cute in a while.
Were you so worried about that?
You should have told me
from the beginning.
Then for today…
let's hold hands,
chat, and order
something delicious.
Forget it.
We're not some gal pals.
We can be gal pals for today.
This is nice.
Then is this how I
become a woman?
No, you'll become a man again.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Why are you so late?
- How have you been?
- Grandma, happy birthday.
Let's go eat, come on.
- Have you been well?
- Yes, Auntie. How about you?
What is it? Do
you know them?
Sorry?
No, not really.
Let's go.
This country's traffic order is a mess
because of the likes of you!
You're the one who swerved in
without using your turn signals!
Look at you,
not even bothering to apologize.
How dare you stare
and talk to me like that?
How old are you?
Look at the
direction of the car!
What about the direction?
Let's hear it.
- This is a new car!
- Sir, you can talk to me.
Go inside.
Goodness.
You should've helped her sooner.
Hey, it's been a while.
Yes, it has been.
- Have you been well?
- Of course.
I actually have a
favor to ask you.
To me?
You'll be dispatched to
family medicine next, right?
Yes, that's right.
Can't you switch with me?
I'll be in pediatrics.
Can we please switch?
Please?
Oh, my. You have
the same one as me.
I guess this must be
popular these days.
I keep seeing it around.
I got this as a birthday gift
from my boyfriend.
Me too. I got this as a birthday present
from my husband too.
I thought you said
your husband passed away.
Well…
A long time ago.
I got this
before he died.
Anyway, I can switch.
So it's pediatrics?
Yes, thank you so
much, Jeong-suk.
Your order is ready.
Thank you.
This is for you.
Thank you, I'll get going.
GUSAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
- Was that your last surgery for the day?
- No, I have another one left.
I normally try not to interfere
in other people's business.
But thinking about it, I realized
it's not exactly unrelated to me
since Dr. Cha
is both my patient and colleague.
How about you stop
deceiving your wife?
You and Professor Choi Seung-hi.
It greatly irks me
to try and turn a blind eye
to what is happening.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
And let me warn you.
Mind your own business
unless you want to get
needlessly misconstrued.
How dare he?
The patient is experiencing
a lot of diarrhea,
so I tested for PMC,
and it came out positive.
The patient is on
oral vancomycin
but since the diarrhea didn't stop,
I prescribed an antidiarrheal.
Which antidiarrheal?
Loperamide.
Are you out of your mind?
Don't you know what happens
if a PMC patient takes that?
If you administer loperamide,
which reduces bowel movements,
there will be a bacterial overgrowth
and the PMC worsens.
You should know this.
From now on, don't join in on rounds
and don't come into the operating room.
No, don't bother
coming in at all.
Why not start with actually
bothering to study first?
Preferably somewhere
out of the way.
Get out.
Stop hanging around
against my orders.
What brings you here?
I'm in charge of this patient.
Professor Seo
told me to take over.
I'll finish up.
Please move.
I'm already busy as is.
What are you doing?
Are you screwing me over
because I'm not quitting?
Stop reading
into it. It's not that.
Then why are you treating me
like I'm invisible?
I'm following my belief not to give work
to someone incompetent.
It is rational and fair.
I thought you wanted to be treated
like any other resident?
This is your ridiculous
way of telling me
to quit working.
- What?
- Is it an illness of yours or just a habit
to play dirty against
someone powerless
and still act like
you're high and mighty?
You're all about
rationality and reason.
So did you think I'd quit
if you made a fool out of me?
Like I did 20 years ago?
Yes!
So please just quit!
Do you know how hard it is
to see you at work?
You say whatever you want,
but have you ever considered how I feel?
No.
I didn't think
about how you felt on purpose.
I want to put myself
first from now on.
I finally realized
there's a life for me out there,
so I can't stop again now!
Honey, this is my last chance.
Please…
let me continue down this path.
I won't even ask for you
to help pave the road or hold my hand.
Just…
let me be able to
walk down this path.
You don't have to come.
Professor.
What are you doing here?
I know, right?
What am I doing here?
Do you remember
when you told me to quit last time?
You said that on purpose, right?
Of course.
Because I knew
that you wouldn't quit.
It seems like I
held out in vain.
Dr. Cha.
How about we become friends?
Not rapport, but actual friends.
Friends?
That's a little too much.
I mean, aren't I older than you?
Come on.
Just be friends with me.
Do you want to exercise with me?
Let's run a marathon.
A marathon?
Yes.
Ever since I was young,
I could leave every worry behind
once I started running.
That's why I like it.
Right.
When I was young, there was
this cartoon called Run Hany.
The main character, Hany,
would run and console herself
because she missed
her late mother so much.
Then I naturally knew
that running is a good exercise
that helps you forget
about all the bad things in your head.
That's great then.
I have a crew that
runs on the weekends.
You should join us.
Dr. Kim, can I
bring a friend along?
We're going to start at Jamsu Bridge
and follow north of Hangang Bridge.
Then we'll hit Nodeul Island
and come back to Jamsu Bridge.
It's about 9km?
But since we're beginners,
I don't think we can run for 9km.
Professor, can't you run along
slowly with us?
All right. Shall
we begin now?
How about we start
by walking briskly?
We'll warm ourselves up
for the first two kilometers,
then we'll begin running.
Okay, let's go!
Hey.
Didn't you finish
a full marathon?
Me?
That's news to me.
Goodness, that
sneaky little fox.
Lift it.
A little more.
It's not this side.
No, the opposite.
This side...
Professor, are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
Yes, hold it like that.
Okay.
It's adhesive capsulitis.
Simply put, a frozen shoulder.
A frozen shoulder?
It's not a ligament rupture?
No.
It won't heal fast.
If you get physical therapy
and stretch regularly,
then it'll help with the pain
and recover your mobility.
Does it hurt a lot?
Do you want a shot?
I'm too young to
have a frozen shoulder.
What do you mean?
You're almost 50.
What are you...
Hey, are you balding?
The top of your
head is looking sparse.
Right.
I'm taking medication
for hair loss.
Thanks to it, I
can't even get it up!
The implant I got two years ago
is coming back up.
I have dysfunctions
everywhere! Happy?
I don't even know
who I am or where I am.
I can't feel my legs.
- He's coming.
- You did well.
- You did really well for your first time.
- Thank you.
To thank you for
allowing us to join in,
how about we
have dinner together?
It'll be my treat.
I'm so tired.
Right, I know
some good places around here.
Sorry, I already
have plans today.
- I'll join next time.
- Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
I think maybe that guy
is interested in you.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Look how naive you are.
Asking to work out together
is clearly a move to start something up.
Stop saying ridiculous things.
It's not good to have
excessive delusions.
Then is this
a type of friendship
Americans have?
Who cares?
Don't these kinds of misunderstandings
and delusions make life fun?
Baek Mi-hee, you must still be young
to be able to think like that.
I'm going.
- Should we do another lap?
- Forget it.
Let's run one more lap.
MY LOVE TO YOU
Hello.
You should be careful.
- I really like this TV show too.
- Sorry.
I see.
They say the leads
are really dating each other.
No wonder they
have great chemistry.
I'll have to take
responsibility.
Excuse me.
Are you not going to pay?
Dr. Cha.
Should we have dinner tonight?
We weren't able to last time.
Then…
should I also invite my friend?
No.
Just the two of us.
Just the two of us?
Yes.
Don't you want to?
What was that?
What is wrong with me?
Why did I have that kind of dream?
I must be crazy.
This is so embarrassing.
I must be out of my mind.
Why is my heart
racing like this?
Goodness.
I really am crazy!
I can't believe this!
He's a leukemia patient?
Yes. His lower abdomen hurt for a week,
and he was admitted to the ER
after he felt stabbing pains.
Judging by the MRI and CT scans,
there are signs of colorectal cancer.
The biopsies didn't
show any malignancy.
There's something in the mesorectum
and it doesn't seem normal.
We have no choice
but to do a surgical biopsy.
When Dr. Jeon spoke during the briefing,
we learned he was a leukemia patient.
Right.
After that, two
biopsies were done.
But they didn't
come out as malignant.
Based on the CT
and MRI scans…
Are you okay?
This too shall pass.
You've been staring
at something for a while. What is it?
It's a little weird.
This is the abdominal CT scan
of the patient, Choi Gyeong-su.
This is what was
taken in the ER.
And this was taken
after the biopsy was done.
There seems to be a
tiny decrease in size.
Really?
I can't really tell.
Maybe this isn't
cancer tissue but…
An abscess?
It's not common, but I thought it may be
an abscess in the rectal diverticulum.
Sure, you know
that it's not common.
Don't you think it's weird
that you found a rare condition
with one CT scan,
Dr. Cha Jeong-suk?
I remember I had a similar case
when I was an intern.
If it's an abscess,
you don't have to put a sick patient
through a surgical biopsy
and can just drain it.
Forget it.
This decision was made after MRI,
CT, and even PET-CT scans were taken.
An abscess? What
in the world are you talking about?
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Are you, a first-year resident,
challenging me, a professor?
That's right, I gave it a shot.
But if I'm right,
allow me to work again.
What if you're wrong?
Are you going to
quit or something?
Fine.
If I'm wrong,
I'll quit.
Deal.
Reserve a surgery room
for Mr. Choi Gyeong-su's biopsy.
I'll perform it myself.
Keep your promise.
You keep yours.
Lift it up more.
To the left.
If you go straight in like this,
it'll definitely come out.
Just like this…
The biopsy results
for Choi Gyeong-su came out.
What is it?
Damn it.
- Doctor, I'll take over now.
- What?
Professor Seo In-ho said
that I can take over now.
- Thank you.
- That's a relief.
All right then.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
Hello.
You're a surgeon.
Why are you here getting acupuncture?
I'm trying out everything.
If it means getting
better quickly,
I'd be willing to put anything
on my shoulder.
When you have time,
put a hot compress on it.
Doctor, it's time for
Kim Min-su's Chuna…
Okay. Rest up.
Okay.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. Seo.
I'm I-rang's homeroom teacher.
Yes, hello.
I wanted to discuss
I-rang's college admissions,
but Ms. Cha isn't
answering her phone.
That's why I called you.
I see. You can
speak to me about it.
I-rang wants to apply for
Hanguk University's College of Fine Arts.
They pick according to grades,
so she'll have no trouble
making it past the first round.
Wait.
Yes.
It's hard for me to talk
on the phone right now.
Yes.
I'll call you back.
Yes.
We finished quickly.
Are you just going to go home?
I'm going to go see my mom
at the hospital.
I see. The person who came
to pick you up last time?
She was really pretty.
- Really?
- Yes.
She looked like she
could be your aunt.
Are you strong,
mentally speaking?
I think I'm average.
Why do you ask?
You're in 12th grade.
No matter what happens,
you need to stay strong.
CERTIFICATE
OF ACHIEVEMENT
I'm home...
- Come on, let go of me!
- Honey, please.
- I said I'm just going to go home!
- No, gosh.
Hey, they said my X-ray results were fine.
Why aren't you letting me go home?
You may be fine now,
but there could be internal bleeding.
- You've been drinking, right?
- Yes.
- So just stay here a bit longer.
- Hey.
Do you think I can't tell
you're overcharging me because I'm drunk?
Stop cursing!
- Don't hit him.
- I'm sorry.
Sir, please sit down for now.
You're angry because
I'm not letting you leave, right?
- Dr. Cha. Please hurry up and come here.
- Okay.
- Please keep an eye on him.
- Okay.
We need an IV drip here.
- Yes.
- Gosh.
- Why are you acting like this?
- Stop it!
Drink this and sober up!
You shouldn't have drunk
and tripped in the first place.
That's enough!
Sir, please lie down.
Gosh.
Gosh, honey!
Doctor!
- I'll take a look.
- Okay.
Sir?
Sir, are you all right?
- Bring the crash cart.
- Okay.
Honey.
Sir!
See you tomorrow.
Right.
Patient Lee Yeong-bok
went into emergency surgery.
It was a spontaneous
mesenteric hematoma.
The bleeding must have resumed
after it was temporarily pressed
between the intestines.
It wasn't obvious because
his blood pressure was stable for a while.
That's such a relief.
Why didn't you let him go home?
There was no fracture
or any other abnormal sign.
Well…
I touched his abdominal area,
and his abdominal guarding seemed unusual
even for someone drunk.
I thought he had
some muscle stiffness.
So I stopped him
from being discharged just in case.
You did a good job.
Oh, my.
Aren't you Eun-seo?
I-rang's friend?
Hello.
But why are you here?
I came to meet my mom.
Your mom works here?
She's a doctor, right?
- Yes.
- Eun-seo.
Mom.
I recently heard your daughter
and Eun-seo are friends.
What an interesting
relationship we have.
I'll get going
first. Let's go.
JUST SILENCE
Where's Dad?
Indoor golfing.
I hear indoor golf centers are
the hottest place for affairs.
I recently heard your daughter
and Eun-seo are friends.
What an interesting
relationship we have.
Professor.
You don't run at full
speed in a marathon.
Do you think you actually
are Hany or something?
What brings you here?
I have something to tell you.
Something to tell me?
What do you...
It's something very important.
If I don't tell you today,
I might never be able to.
DOCTOR CHA
Why would that young professor
like a mother of two?
I'm saying working close
together may lead to it.
That punk knows about us.
If you want to tell Dr. Cha about
us, go ahead.
You've never experienced
what I have either.
It seems like someone
is trying to jump.
Dr. Cha went to dissuade him
because she's his doctor.
