Doctor Cha (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript
DOCTOR CHA
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.
- The reason I came here today…
- Excuse me, who are you?
EPISODE 7
Mother.
This is my mother-in-law.
What could be urgent enough to warrant
holding onto my daughter-in-law
this late at night?
It's not like that.
He's a professor
from the hospital.
He's the one
who performed my liver transplant.
Do you not remember?
You are that doctor.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
But what brings you here?
I live nearby as well.
I ran into her while
I was out on a walk.
I should get going.
Dr. Cha, see
you tomorrow.
Yes, get home safely.
I know you're not that type,
but even if the hospital
doesn't know about you and In-ho,
you still always have
to watch your behavior.
You can't do anything that'll bring
disgrace to him, don't you think?
Right.
Mother, you're late today.
- Did you stop by somewhere?
- Yes.
This month's maintenance
bill is so high.
Why is the maintenance
bill so high?
Let's go.
Gosh.
What is all of this?
Why are you kneeling?
Mother, you should head to your room.
Jeong-suk, sit with me.
Goodness, fine.
I think you guys will have
to solve this on your own.
Gosh, my head.
Did you know that
I-rang was preparing for art school?
- That…
- I'm sure you didn't just know.
You were probably helping her.
Honey, I'm sorry I
didn't tell you sooner.
How long has this been going on?
When she was in tenth grade,
she said she wanted to go to art school
but changed her mind.
Were both of you
putting on an act?
- That's not true.
- Then when did this start?
When did you all start
preparing for art school
while lying to
your whole family?
Do you know how much I pour
into her education every month?
Have you been using that money
to buy this junk?
It hasn't been long.
I-rang really wants to do this.
She wants to pursue art.
Seo I-rang, cat got your tongue?
You'll be an adult next year.
What do you have to say
about your college admissions?
I've told you more
than enough before
that I want to go to art school.
But to you, my
future was set in stone.
That's right.
It is set in stone.
Bring me a trash bag.
Honey.
Honey, don't do this!
Honey, please.
Mother, please help me.
- Please just stop!
- Goodness, stop it!
- I-rang, what are you doing?
- Stop it!
Apologize to your father
and tell him you'll study hard.
Gosh, what's with him?
- Please don't be like this.
- Stop!
- Honey, don't be like this.
- In-ho, stop.
Hey, enough!
Why are you being so stubborn?
- Honey, don't be like this.
- In-ho, stop this.
Stop! Stop already!
Hey!
My goodness.
Stop this now.
Goodness.
Gosh!
Why won't you listen?
Do you have to go that far?
Your child wants
to do something so passionately.
If you can't be supportive,
at least leave her be.
Is a doctor the only job
that's acceptable for you?
If you want to send
I-rang to art school,
you should quit
working at the hospital.
What?
Did you think you could
have everything your way?
I'm the head of the family.
If you gain something,
you should be prepared to lose something.
What kind of ridiculous
logic is that?
Why would I quit the hospital?
I'm going to send
her to art school
and continue to work at the hospital.
Don't order me around.
Is that so?
Then handle everything from her tuition
to her art school entrance prep.
You have a job now.
You're more than capable of doing that.
Fine. Since you have fed, sheltered,
and clothed us until now,
I'll handle it from now on.
Thank you so much
for feeding me this whole time.
You can use this
and leave it here after you're done.
Thank you.
CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT
WINNING WORK
What?
If you have something
to say, say it.
Seung-hi's daughter.
She's I-rang's friend.
To tell you the truth,
ever since I found out
Seung-hi worked at the hospital,
I felt uncomfortable.
What's more, I-rang's friend turned out
to be Seung-hi's daughter.
I ran into them at the hospital.
How should I
interpret all of this?
I can't do anything about you
feeling uncomfortable.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you
about Seung-hi working at our hospital.
But I already explained
why I didn't tell you.
And I also just learned that I-rang
and Seung-hi's daughter are friends.
But they're grown-up kids.
I can't stop them from being friends.
What about the bracelet?
What about it?
Never mind.
If you're going to continue
to be like this,
we can't work at
the same hospital.
Dad treated my art like trash.
I-rang.
I'll make sure
you can study art.
I'm going to keep my promise
and stay by your side until the end.
I should've told your dad
from the beginning,
but I was foolish.
I'm sorry for making you
hide your dream all this time.
Mom, you're so naive.
How will you send
me to art school?
The summer college admissions lecture
for art school is 12 million won.
If you add the consulting
and the art project report edits,
it'll be 20 to 30 million won.
Do you have that much money?
It's that expensive?
What brings you
here at this hour?
Eun-seo knows I-rang?
I heard they're friends.
I found out only recently too.
You should have told me!
How did they become friends?
Was it really a coincidence?
Don't talk to me
like you're interrogating me.
We created this
situation together.
Why should I always
be the one at fault?
That's not what I meant.
Do I have to be
your family's peacekeeper too?
I'm sorry.
I…
I was just shocked
when I heard the news from my wife.
What on earth should we do
about those two?
We can't tell two grown kids
not to be friends.
It's just because they go
to the same academy now.
They'll grow apart once
they get into different universities.
But is that why you came
all the way here at this hour?
We can give you 5.5
million won for this.
Can you buy it
at a higher price?
I'm sorry.
Do you want to reconsider?
No, I will accept that price.
And this…
Please appraise this as well.
What kind of room
did you reserve?
Sorry?
My hospital room.
I'll be admitted the
day after tomorrow.
What kind of room
did you reserve?
Mother, I'll reserve
a private room for you.
You'd be uncomfortable sharing
the same space with strangers.
But Mother…
- do you have money...
- How could you?
Not a single soul in this family
is even worried about me.
Mother, I'm sorry.
-Heal me now, my Savior, Jesus
-Heal me now, my Savior, Jesus
-Touch and mend my ailing frame
-Touch and mend my ailing frame
-I will heal all thy diseases
-I will heal all thy diseases
-That promise, Lord, I claim
-That promise, Lord, I claim
-See me, Lord, expectant kneeling
-See me, Lord, expectant kneeling
-Confident in faith appealing
-Confident in faith appealing
- Now Thy mighty power revealing…
- Now Thy mighty power revealing…
Right, you haven't sent the minutes
for the morning meeting yet.
Right.
I haven't finished
organizing them.
I'll send them before noon.
Dr. Choi.
I'm sorry to ask,
but could you tell me…
where you bought that bracelet?
Why do you have to be sorry
for asking me that?
My husband bought it for me,
so I don't know where he got it.
Husband…
I see, your husband
bought it for you.
She has
a husband.
Did I commit such an unforgivable sin
by being a single mother
giving birth to and
raising you abroad?
Yes, having me was a sin.
Do you remember the girl you saw
when you came to pick me up?
Do you know who she is?
She's my sister.
- What?
- She's Seo In-ho's daughter.
I became friends with her.
I even went to their house.
I saw how Dad was
living with that woman.
Are you crazy?
What do you think you're doing?
It's better than what you did!
You seduced a married man,
had an affair, and had a kid with him!
That's why we lived in the US
for 15 years!
I didn't want you to be hurt,
so I lied to you
that your father and I were divorced!
I tried my hardest to raise you
so you didn't have to endure that pain.
Too bad.
All that effort was for nothing.
I've become an extremely
twisted person.
You don't know the full story.
I was first.
Your father and I liked each other
before all of this happened.
You and Dad
liked each other first?
Then why are
you living like this?
I take back…
what I said before.
I was being too harsh.
I'm sorry I doubted you.
Let's not talk about
Seung-hi anymore.
What about I-rang?
I-rang was so unhappy
when she gave up on art.
But consulting you would have turned
the entire household upside down.
So I chose the easy option.
In the end, you
did what you wanted
for something
that was important.
Jung-min became a doctor
just as you wanted,
so you should be able
to cut I-rang some slack.
Just let her go to art school
like she prepared.
Art is done by geniuses
with exceptional talent.
Do you think I-rang
is one of those people?
She's our daughter.
She's smart but not artistic.
I know she's our
kid, but please…
Be more objective.
Then what about her dream?
Dreams aren't
meant to be achieved.
Tell her to keep it as a hobby.
I heard you have to keep
drinking cold beverages
after having surgery
for thyroid cancer.
I was just about to get tired
of drinking ice water.
My goodness,
you must have worked so hard
to make all of this.
Just think this is on behalf
of your busy daughter-in-law.
My cooking isn't so bad,
so what I prepared should be better
than the hospital food.
Make sure you eat the porridge.
I'll put the rice punch
and cinnamon punch in the fridge.
Drink them whenever you can.
Thank you.
I'll be sure to enjoy them.
Don't you resent
my mother-in-law?
I do.
How could I not resent her
after what she did
when you had your surgery?
I don't think
I'd be able to do it if I were you.
I did this because I thought
it'd bring you some good karma.
And…
you made the right decision
to keep working at the hospital.
Women need to have work too.
Oh, my.
You said I was making
the right decision to quit.
You're my daughter,
so I have no choice
but to support you and your decisions.
Where is In-ho?
I don't see Jung-min either.
Excuse me.
Where is Professor
Seo right now?
Why?
Yes, hello?
Yes, ma'am.
I know today is
I-rang's admissions counseling,
but I was suddenly
put on night duty.
Yes, I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
Dr. Cha.
Professor.
You can clock
out. I'll stay on duty.
I can't let you do that.
What kind of professor would
take a resident's night duty?
I'll be all right.
I think I'd be of more use
than a first-year resident.
That is true but…
You should go.
It's a bit shameless of me,
but I'll ask you this favor just once.
Professor, thank you so much.
Right. When you showed up
in front of my house that night,
didn't you say you had
something to tell me?
Right, that.
What should I do?
I forgot what it was.
I see.
Okay.
I'll be right back
then. Thank you.
Hello, Professor.
Yes, hello.
We saw each other
in front of my house recently.
I'm Professor
Seo In-ho's mother.
Yes, I'm aware.
But were you admitted
to the hospital?
Yes. For my
thyroid surgery.
But…
are you close to
my daughter-in-law?
She'll be quite clumsy
since she started working at an older age.
Even if she makes mistakes to some degree,
please be generous and forgive her.
She's doing well,
so you don't have to worry.
Then that's a relief.
If you'll excuse me.
That is ridiculous.
What are you even saying…
Why would that young professor
like a mother of two?
Who said anything…
Who said he likes her now?
I'm saying working close together
may lead to it.
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.
It's not because of that.
Anyway, even if they are close,
it won't happen.
You don't know he came to see her
in front of our house, do you?
Our house?
He did say that he lives nearby,
and they ran into
each other in passing.
But that could be an excuse.
They were talking to each other
in the hallway earlier too.
They seemed to
be on great terms.
You must have an
emergency surgery.
Why did you show up
in front of our house?
I find it unpleasant.
Are you worried
I might expose your affair?
Don't worry. I
didn't say anything.
Do you think I don't have
other topics to
talk to her about?
Then what more do
you have to tell her?
You're so full of yourself.
Ma'am, I'm so sorry.
You're still at work at this hour
because of me.
I'm aware of your difficulties.
But…
I'm a working mom too.
This is about
your child's college admissions.
You should keep this kind
of appointment no matter what.
Right.
I-rang.
Sorry.
- I came so late, right?
- I had low expectations anyway.
What about the money?
Did you get it?
Let's go.
I said let's go.
You're hungry, right?
I'm starving.
I haven't eaten anything
since I was waiting for you.
I'm sorry.
Did you eat?
I haven't eaten either.
GUSAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
I'm sure you heard from the colon
and rectal surgery professor.
The liver metastasis is worsening
due to hematogenous metastasis
since the treatment
has been delayed.
Thankfully, the cancer cells are
only on the surface and can be removed.
But if the treatment
is delayed any longer,
the cancer might invade
major liver blood vessels
and may make it
difficult to operate on.
I know this is difficult,
but as of now,
the best option is to terminate
the pregnancy, perform surgery,
and receive chemotherapy.
What will you do?
What do you mean?
I told you I'm having this baby.
How can the baby be important
when your life is at stake?
Mom.
Just as I'm precious to you,
this baby is precious to me.
- I'm going to have this baby.
- But you have to live!
Why are you so obsessed
over a child that's not even born yet?
Stop it.
Is he the baby's father?
This person is an actor.
Right?
No.
He's not the baby's father.
CHA JEONG-SUK
ORDINARY ACCOUNT
- Hello.
- Hello.
Your car is nice.
I just got it.
It looks expensive.
- I got it on an OD.
- OD?
- An overdraft account?
- Yes.
Gosh, look how
irresponsible she is.
An OD?
Dr. Jeon!
Can I get an
overdraft account too?
- Unless you have bad credit, then yes.
- Up to how much?
It's about 100 million won
for interns and residents.
It depends on the bank,
so you should check.
Okay.
Thank you!
You said you had
no loans in your name, right?
Yes.
But you have a loan
against your real estate.
For 450 million won.
What?
How is that possible
when I don't own any real estate?
You have a building
under your name in Gyeonggi-do.
Mother, are you going out?
- Yes, Jeong-suk.
- Yes?
Go to the district office today
and make a seal.
A seal?
Yes, you need a seal
to buy and sell things.
You may need one when taking care
of things for the household.
You should make
one just in case.
And when you do,
leave it with me, okay?
Should I issue a loan
using this building as collateral?
No, just make it a credit loan.
Yes, ma'am.
Excuse me.
The building under my name.
Can I get the address to it?
She always said she
didn't have any money.
The special lecture fee?
Yes.
I paid the academy.
Where did you get the money?
There's no way Dad helped.
You don't need to know that.
Don't worry about money and work hard
on getting into that art school.
Pursuing art will sour things
with your dad,
so you have to take responsibility
for your actions, okay?
Come on, how did
you get the money?
I have a job now.
I got a credit loan for workers.
I know you don't like that I work,
but you do at times like this, right?
I know you do.
I know you love it.
It makes you want to laugh.
Mom, thank you.
This is a 32-year-old male patient
suffering from Crohn's disease
and it looks like he had been suffering
from diverticulitis in his sigmoid colon.
The inflammation in that area worsened,
and on April 22nd in Busan,
he received Hartmann's procedure
after being diagnosed with panperitonitis.
Since he's still young,
he wants to be able to defecate
through the anus.
He visited the outpatient clinic of
our Colon and Rectal Surgery Department
for a stoma reversal surgery.
I'm presenting this case to discuss
when to pursue the reversal surgery
and the current level
of Crohn's disease activity.
- Have you met the Hartmann patient?
- Yes, I have.
How is he?
He's stabilized mentally,
so I don't think it will be an issue…
- Hey, Seo Jung-min.
- Yes?
Sorry, but can you get me my phone
from my dorm room?
- Okay.
- Wait!
I'll get it for you.
I could just go get it…
Jeez, she must think Jung-min
is her lackey or something.
She always bosses him around.
What's with her passcode?
My goodness.
Look at all this.
Gosh.
There's no place to step
with all this mess.
Is this men's underwear?
She has a boyfriend?
Goodness.
Whoever that poor soul is,
I feel so bad for him.
Do you really want to do
that in this place?
How youthful.
What am I doing right now?
It's not like this is
my daughter's room.
Her cell phone!
TO MY SON WHOM
I LOVE, JUNG-MIN
This is Jung-min's underwear.
My son…
No way.
They're not thinking
of marriage, are they?
Thank you for the meal.
So-ra.
- What about the dishes?
- Mother.
Everyone here knows
how to wash the dishes.
If you and I prepared the meal,
then other people
should clean it up.
Mother, I can't cut fruit well.
Wouldn't it be more efficient
for an expert to cut it
rather than have me mess it up?
Mother, these materials
are for my paper,
so you should write them
according to the SOAP.
Do you want people to criticize
these poorly-written charts?
What's worse is that
everything she says is right.
Jung-min.
Yes.
Okay.
But you don't…
have a girlfriend, do you?
I don't.
I said I don't.
I'm telling you the truth.
Let's talk later.
Okay.
What were you talking about?
Is someone asking you for money?
Yes, I told them I
don't have any money.
Good job.
But what is your mother like?
Why do you ask?
I was wondering if she gets along
with Professor Seo.
Is this about that rumor
about Dr. Cha and my father?
There's nothing
going on between them.
I'm not asking because
of that, you punk.
"You punk"?
You keep trying to rile me up.
How can you call
your boyfriend "punk"?
I can do what I want, you punk.
Wait for me.
Thank you for bringing my phone.
Do you have something to say?
Dr. Jeon.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Yes.
I do, why?
Who is it?
Why does it feel
like I'm being interrogated here?
Goodness.
I'm not interrogating.
I was just being curious, that's all.
Who's your boyfriend?
Is it someone I know?
I'm not going to tell you.
I don't care that
you're curious.
I have no reason
to answer questions like that.
You!
Are you really
dating that rude girl?
What?
He's pretending not
to have a girlfriend.
What's the point of
confirming the truth?
It'll just make
all three of us uncomfortable.
Dr. Seo.
I don't see your watch.
You always wear it.
Right, I forgot to wear it.
I took it off while showering.
At a friend's house.
I knew it.
They've already gone
as far as they can go.
That punk takes after me.
I know things
are uncomfortable between us,
but let's talk when
we eat together.
Sorry, it's not like that.
There aren't many famous art academies
in that neighborhood.
Your wife will just think of it like
that and move on.
That's not the full issue.
The new guy in my department,
Roy or whatever.
Sure, I know him.
He's the one who performed
your wife's liver transplant.
That punk knows.
About us.
How?
I don't know how he found out,
but he knows.
He's acting all high and mighty
because he thinks he knows my weakness.
It pisses me off.
What are you going to do?
What can that punk do?
It's none of his business.
May I sit down?
Of course.
Do you have something to say?
I have no intention of breaking up
with Professor Seo.
That's interesting.
Why are you making
that confession to me?
Because I have
no one else to tell.
Then you should try
talking to a wall instead.
If you want
to tell her about us, go ahead.
To Dr. Cha.
Are you asking me
to break up a family for you?
I don't care what you think.
For whose benefit
would I do that?
Don't try to use me.
I thought you were a bit better
than Professor Seo.
I'm greatly disappointed.
Professor.
Do you need to speak to me
about something?
Don't smile.
You have something
in your teeth.
I'm stressed.
Over here.
Gosh, Ms. Kwak.
You got here before me.
Yes. I left early
because it's been a while
since I've been out.
Since I was late,
I should give you this first.
Open it.
Oh, my, this is a
designer brand.
Goodness, it's a scarf.
You seemed to be always bothered
by that scar on your neck.
You can cover it
with this pretty scarf.
Once the seasons change,
I'll get you one in a different color.
My goodness.
Try it on.
I think it will suit you well
since you have such fair skin.
Thank you.
I've been feeling
so weak these days.
I'm so touched by this.
- I'll try it on.
- Okay.
It's pretty.
Does it cover it up well?
- I feel so reinvigorated.
- Yes.
I'm in such a good mood.
Professor, you can't
look at the camera.
Okay.
Ma'am, how is your pain?
It's slowly getting better.
But it still hurts.
You will get better in time.
It'll improve slowly.
Are you eating well?
I'm managing to eat, but I can't seem
to have a bowel movement.
Goodness.
It'd be great if you'd give me
some constipation medicine.
I'll let the doctor in
charge of you know.
Is everything else fine?
Yes.
Professor, you're
very friendly today.
You don't know how
frustrated I've been
because you'd always rush out of here
before I could ask you anything.
Is that so?
It's just that I have
a lot of patients.
The adhesion is
worse than I thought.
Connecting it won't be easy.
I'm worried the sigmoid colon
might not come down far enough.
Can we get the
splenic flexure further?
It's at its limit.
His pelvis is narrow,
and the length is barely making it.
- Move it down. Let's try to connect it.
- Yes, sir.
- I'm inserting the body.
- Slowly.
Yes, good.
Go forward with the spike.
Yes, going forward
with the spike.
Go all the way in.
Okay.
I'm going to
staple it now. Fire.
Firing.
Please pass me the water.
Put it all in.
Shoot it in again.
It's slightly leaking.
Let's reinforce it.
Do we have glue?
- Let's apply some first.
- Okay.
It can't be helped.
We'll have to go with a diversion.
- There's no way around it.
- Okay.
Professor, are you all right?
My arm.
I can't move it.
We pulled the stoma
and put in the Hemovac drain.
All we need to do is close the stomach
and maturate the stoma.
Call in a fellow now.
We tried to perform
the stoma reversal.
But the tissue
wasn't as healthy as we thought,
and the length wasn't
long enough either.
For now, we have constructed
a temporary ileostomy
so that no feces pass
through the anastomosis area.
Then can you really remove
the stoma next time?
Let's monitor your progress.
Gosh, if I knew
your arm was that bad,
I wouldn't have asked you
for such a cumbersome favor.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to inconvenience
the department.
I apologize for
the trouble, Chief.
There's no need for that.
You were the perfect man
for the broadcast.
Who will I recommend now?
Why does he look so cool?
Isn't this the patient
that took aspirin as heart medication?
Did this patient
stop taking aspirin?
How long has it been?
I didn't check.
Well…
The patient stopped taking it
after being admitted yesterday.
I'm sorry.
Why do you fail to check
important things on time?
If I hadn't asked,
you wouldn't have checked,
and the patient would've taken aspirin
until it was time for the surgery!
Where are you going?
Well, I…
was going to go watch…
My shoulder.
Are you going to stay stubborn?
Why do something
you'll obviously regret?
It's my life. I'll be
the judge of that.
Did you make that
life on your own?
Jung-min listened to you,
went to med school, and became a doctor.
Do you think he's satisfied
and happy with his life?
Jung-min wanted to major in communications
and become a variety show producer.
You didn't know that, did you?
He didn't even mention it
because he knew you'd laugh.
Jung-min listened
to you so well,
but he seems to be
awfully regretting it now.
That little punk.
- You weren't in the surgery room?
- It finished early.
Where are you going?
I have to go push
for an examination.
Give me a kiss before you go.
A kiss?
What are you doing here?
Doctor, what should we do
about my husband?
What's wrong?
He keeps saying he doesn't want to live
and that he wants to die.
I'm scared that
something might happen.
It's not uncommon to feel that way
after a failed surgery.
But his biggest source of strength
right now is his family.
Please try your
best to comfort him.
Will he really be okay?
I'm back to where I started.
With two holes
on each side of me.
When your condition improves,
you'll be able to undergo
the surgery again.
Right, have you exercised?
You have to keep moving
to stimulate your intestines.
I went up to the roof before.
Why the roof?
I wondered if I would feel at peace
if I died there.
It would have been better if this was
something I'd die of in a few months.
But the thought of having
to live like this forever
makes me feel so hopeless.
Goodness, you shouldn't say
things like that.
You're only saying that because
you don't know how hopeless it really is
to have death staring
at you in the face.
You've never experienced
what I have either.
I don't know if I'll be able
to work again,
if I can maintain my marriage,
or if I should have kids.
I have no certainty
as to how I should live.
Dr. Jeon.
The patient, Hwang Seon-gyu.
I think he's suffering
from severe depression.
I'm aware.
His wife seemed very worried.
Shouldn't we consult
the Psychiatry Department?
More than half of Crohn's patients
are in their twenties and thirties.
So it's natural that
they feel hopeless.
It's even more so for him
since it's post-surgery.
But he'll be better soon.
If so, that's a relief.
I just feel for him.
He's at a similar age as my son.
You have a son?
I do.
My son is very precious to me.
You must have raised him
with great love and care.
I did.
But in the end,
all that effort was in vain.
Goodness.
Anyway, I think we
should do what we can.
Could you please talk
to the professor about this?
Okay.
- Bring in the camera more.
- Okay.
But didn't this patient want
her uterine fibroids removed too?
I was going to ask her a final time,
but I never got around to it.
I asked her.
She wants to observe it first.
Really? Good job.
You normally don't
even glance at me.
What's gotten into you?
Did you change your hairstyle?
What is with you?
You never noticed things about me,
even if I were to shave my head.
Why do you have
to be so extreme?
I know I may be indifferent,
but how would I not realize
if you shaved your head?
I'm just saying.
Anyway, even though it's unlike you,
thanks for noticing.
Have you received
cosmetic treatments too?
You've been exercising
and putting effort into your appearance.
My skin has always
been good, okay?
Why do you look so pretty today?
You look great.
Just let Choi Seung-hi
have Seo In-ho.
I will do that later.
It's so funny watching
them snoop around.
Am I going crazy?
Mom, Dad, why did you come
without telling us?
We should come
since our son-in-law is sick.
Father, Mother.
You go out and buy us
some juice or something.
I'm dying of thirst.
Okay.
I'm ashamed to face both of you.
Goodness.
How could you hide this horrific disease
and marry our daughter?
How dare you ruin my daughter's life?
What on earth is this?
I'm sorry.
Seon-gyu.
I heard this disease is genetic.
Please give up on this marriage.
Even if my daughter says it's okay,
you should have given up on this marriage.
I wasn't hoping you'd
give my daughter a life of comfort.
But I can't bear seeing her
care for her sick husband
from the very beginning!
We are begging
you. Please.
Seon-gyu.
Where are Mom and Dad?
Something urgent
came up, so they left.
What? Without
saying goodbye to me?
Did they say something to you?
No.
They told me not to worry
and to take care of myself.
What a relief.
Hey.
Yes?
You remember that cheonggukjang
place in Yangpyeong?
Yes.
I'm craving their cheonggukjang.
Could you go buy some for me?
Hello…
SEO-YEON, I'M SORRY
FOR MAKING THIS DECISION
BUT THE REST OF MY LIFE
SEEMS LIKE AN ENDLESS TUNNEL…
Hello? Is this 911?
I'm calling from the new wing
of Gusan University Hospital.
There's a patient
who's trying to commit suicide.
Please come quickly!
Mr. Hwang Seon-gyu.
Mr. Hwang Seon-gyu.
I'm sorry.
- Goodness.
- Gosh.
What is going on here?
- Hello, sir.
- Hey.
What is all this commotion?
Is there a fire?
Judging by the air mats,
that doesn't seem to be the case.
It seems like someone
is trying to jump.
It's the Crohn's disease patient
whose stoma reversal failed.
He wrote a suicide note
and went to the roof.
Isn't that my patient?
He's still so young.
Why would he make such a drastic choice?
It could be more hopeless
because he's young.
What?
Dr. Cha went
to dissuade him
because she's his doctor.
Let's go down.
Your wife is waiting.
I can't live, and I can't die.
This is honestly
so embarrassing.
There's no need
to feel that way.
Are you okay?
I'll persuade him,
so come over here.
He's my patient, so I'll persuade him!
He'll listen to me!
All right.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Okay?
Oh, no!
What a relief.
It's such a relief.
It's okay.
Sir, are you all right?
- Make preparations. We're bringing him in.
- He fell by accident.
We'll take it from here.
Are you crazy? Why
would you go up there?
You almost died!
Are you okay?
I'm glad you're safe.
DOCTOR CHA
What could this be?
Maybe they are in a love triangle!
But how did you
two become friends?
I think it's a little too late
for you to be asking me that.
You crazy
bastard! A love child?
Does Mom know too?
Your mom doesn't know,
and she can't find out.
You've fooled her until now.
Make sure she stays in the dark.
Happy birthday.
It's Professor Choi's
social media page.
Professor Seo went
on vacation during that time?
Subtitle translation
by: Yoon-ji Chi
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.
- The reason I came here today…
- Excuse me, who are you?
EPISODE 7
Mother.
This is my mother-in-law.
What could be urgent enough to warrant
holding onto my daughter-in-law
this late at night?
It's not like that.
He's a professor
from the hospital.
He's the one
who performed my liver transplant.
Do you not remember?
You are that doctor.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
But what brings you here?
I live nearby as well.
I ran into her while
I was out on a walk.
I should get going.
Dr. Cha, see
you tomorrow.
Yes, get home safely.
I know you're not that type,
but even if the hospital
doesn't know about you and In-ho,
you still always have
to watch your behavior.
You can't do anything that'll bring
disgrace to him, don't you think?
Right.
Mother, you're late today.
- Did you stop by somewhere?
- Yes.
This month's maintenance
bill is so high.
Why is the maintenance
bill so high?
Let's go.
Gosh.
What is all of this?
Why are you kneeling?
Mother, you should head to your room.
Jeong-suk, sit with me.
Goodness, fine.
I think you guys will have
to solve this on your own.
Gosh, my head.
Did you know that
I-rang was preparing for art school?
- That…
- I'm sure you didn't just know.
You were probably helping her.
Honey, I'm sorry I
didn't tell you sooner.
How long has this been going on?
When she was in tenth grade,
she said she wanted to go to art school
but changed her mind.
Were both of you
putting on an act?
- That's not true.
- Then when did this start?
When did you all start
preparing for art school
while lying to
your whole family?
Do you know how much I pour
into her education every month?
Have you been using that money
to buy this junk?
It hasn't been long.
I-rang really wants to do this.
She wants to pursue art.
Seo I-rang, cat got your tongue?
You'll be an adult next year.
What do you have to say
about your college admissions?
I've told you more
than enough before
that I want to go to art school.
But to you, my
future was set in stone.
That's right.
It is set in stone.
Bring me a trash bag.
Honey.
Honey, don't do this!
Honey, please.
Mother, please help me.
- Please just stop!
- Goodness, stop it!
- I-rang, what are you doing?
- Stop it!
Apologize to your father
and tell him you'll study hard.
Gosh, what's with him?
- Please don't be like this.
- Stop!
- Honey, don't be like this.
- In-ho, stop.
Hey, enough!
Why are you being so stubborn?
- Honey, don't be like this.
- In-ho, stop this.
Stop! Stop already!
Hey!
My goodness.
Stop this now.
Goodness.
Gosh!
Why won't you listen?
Do you have to go that far?
Your child wants
to do something so passionately.
If you can't be supportive,
at least leave her be.
Is a doctor the only job
that's acceptable for you?
If you want to send
I-rang to art school,
you should quit
working at the hospital.
What?
Did you think you could
have everything your way?
I'm the head of the family.
If you gain something,
you should be prepared to lose something.
What kind of ridiculous
logic is that?
Why would I quit the hospital?
I'm going to send
her to art school
and continue to work at the hospital.
Don't order me around.
Is that so?
Then handle everything from her tuition
to her art school entrance prep.
You have a job now.
You're more than capable of doing that.
Fine. Since you have fed, sheltered,
and clothed us until now,
I'll handle it from now on.
Thank you so much
for feeding me this whole time.
You can use this
and leave it here after you're done.
Thank you.
CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT
WINNING WORK
What?
If you have something
to say, say it.
Seung-hi's daughter.
She's I-rang's friend.
To tell you the truth,
ever since I found out
Seung-hi worked at the hospital,
I felt uncomfortable.
What's more, I-rang's friend turned out
to be Seung-hi's daughter.
I ran into them at the hospital.
How should I
interpret all of this?
I can't do anything about you
feeling uncomfortable.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you
about Seung-hi working at our hospital.
But I already explained
why I didn't tell you.
And I also just learned that I-rang
and Seung-hi's daughter are friends.
But they're grown-up kids.
I can't stop them from being friends.
What about the bracelet?
What about it?
Never mind.
If you're going to continue
to be like this,
we can't work at
the same hospital.
Dad treated my art like trash.
I-rang.
I'll make sure
you can study art.
I'm going to keep my promise
and stay by your side until the end.
I should've told your dad
from the beginning,
but I was foolish.
I'm sorry for making you
hide your dream all this time.
Mom, you're so naive.
How will you send
me to art school?
The summer college admissions lecture
for art school is 12 million won.
If you add the consulting
and the art project report edits,
it'll be 20 to 30 million won.
Do you have that much money?
It's that expensive?
What brings you
here at this hour?
Eun-seo knows I-rang?
I heard they're friends.
I found out only recently too.
You should have told me!
How did they become friends?
Was it really a coincidence?
Don't talk to me
like you're interrogating me.
We created this
situation together.
Why should I always
be the one at fault?
That's not what I meant.
Do I have to be
your family's peacekeeper too?
I'm sorry.
I…
I was just shocked
when I heard the news from my wife.
What on earth should we do
about those two?
We can't tell two grown kids
not to be friends.
It's just because they go
to the same academy now.
They'll grow apart once
they get into different universities.
But is that why you came
all the way here at this hour?
We can give you 5.5
million won for this.
Can you buy it
at a higher price?
I'm sorry.
Do you want to reconsider?
No, I will accept that price.
And this…
Please appraise this as well.
What kind of room
did you reserve?
Sorry?
My hospital room.
I'll be admitted the
day after tomorrow.
What kind of room
did you reserve?
Mother, I'll reserve
a private room for you.
You'd be uncomfortable sharing
the same space with strangers.
But Mother…
- do you have money...
- How could you?
Not a single soul in this family
is even worried about me.
Mother, I'm sorry.
-Heal me now, my Savior, Jesus
-Heal me now, my Savior, Jesus
-Touch and mend my ailing frame
-Touch and mend my ailing frame
-I will heal all thy diseases
-I will heal all thy diseases
-That promise, Lord, I claim
-That promise, Lord, I claim
-See me, Lord, expectant kneeling
-See me, Lord, expectant kneeling
-Confident in faith appealing
-Confident in faith appealing
- Now Thy mighty power revealing…
- Now Thy mighty power revealing…
Right, you haven't sent the minutes
for the morning meeting yet.
Right.
I haven't finished
organizing them.
I'll send them before noon.
Dr. Choi.
I'm sorry to ask,
but could you tell me…
where you bought that bracelet?
Why do you have to be sorry
for asking me that?
My husband bought it for me,
so I don't know where he got it.
Husband…
I see, your husband
bought it for you.
She has
a husband.
Did I commit such an unforgivable sin
by being a single mother
giving birth to and
raising you abroad?
Yes, having me was a sin.
Do you remember the girl you saw
when you came to pick me up?
Do you know who she is?
She's my sister.
- What?
- She's Seo In-ho's daughter.
I became friends with her.
I even went to their house.
I saw how Dad was
living with that woman.
Are you crazy?
What do you think you're doing?
It's better than what you did!
You seduced a married man,
had an affair, and had a kid with him!
That's why we lived in the US
for 15 years!
I didn't want you to be hurt,
so I lied to you
that your father and I were divorced!
I tried my hardest to raise you
so you didn't have to endure that pain.
Too bad.
All that effort was for nothing.
I've become an extremely
twisted person.
You don't know the full story.
I was first.
Your father and I liked each other
before all of this happened.
You and Dad
liked each other first?
Then why are
you living like this?
I take back…
what I said before.
I was being too harsh.
I'm sorry I doubted you.
Let's not talk about
Seung-hi anymore.
What about I-rang?
I-rang was so unhappy
when she gave up on art.
But consulting you would have turned
the entire household upside down.
So I chose the easy option.
In the end, you
did what you wanted
for something
that was important.
Jung-min became a doctor
just as you wanted,
so you should be able
to cut I-rang some slack.
Just let her go to art school
like she prepared.
Art is done by geniuses
with exceptional talent.
Do you think I-rang
is one of those people?
She's our daughter.
She's smart but not artistic.
I know she's our
kid, but please…
Be more objective.
Then what about her dream?
Dreams aren't
meant to be achieved.
Tell her to keep it as a hobby.
I heard you have to keep
drinking cold beverages
after having surgery
for thyroid cancer.
I was just about to get tired
of drinking ice water.
My goodness,
you must have worked so hard
to make all of this.
Just think this is on behalf
of your busy daughter-in-law.
My cooking isn't so bad,
so what I prepared should be better
than the hospital food.
Make sure you eat the porridge.
I'll put the rice punch
and cinnamon punch in the fridge.
Drink them whenever you can.
Thank you.
I'll be sure to enjoy them.
Don't you resent
my mother-in-law?
I do.
How could I not resent her
after what she did
when you had your surgery?
I don't think
I'd be able to do it if I were you.
I did this because I thought
it'd bring you some good karma.
And…
you made the right decision
to keep working at the hospital.
Women need to have work too.
Oh, my.
You said I was making
the right decision to quit.
You're my daughter,
so I have no choice
but to support you and your decisions.
Where is In-ho?
I don't see Jung-min either.
Excuse me.
Where is Professor
Seo right now?
Why?
Yes, hello?
Yes, ma'am.
I know today is
I-rang's admissions counseling,
but I was suddenly
put on night duty.
Yes, I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
Dr. Cha.
Professor.
You can clock
out. I'll stay on duty.
I can't let you do that.
What kind of professor would
take a resident's night duty?
I'll be all right.
I think I'd be of more use
than a first-year resident.
That is true but…
You should go.
It's a bit shameless of me,
but I'll ask you this favor just once.
Professor, thank you so much.
Right. When you showed up
in front of my house that night,
didn't you say you had
something to tell me?
Right, that.
What should I do?
I forgot what it was.
I see.
Okay.
I'll be right back
then. Thank you.
Hello, Professor.
Yes, hello.
We saw each other
in front of my house recently.
I'm Professor
Seo In-ho's mother.
Yes, I'm aware.
But were you admitted
to the hospital?
Yes. For my
thyroid surgery.
But…
are you close to
my daughter-in-law?
She'll be quite clumsy
since she started working at an older age.
Even if she makes mistakes to some degree,
please be generous and forgive her.
She's doing well,
so you don't have to worry.
Then that's a relief.
If you'll excuse me.
That is ridiculous.
What are you even saying…
Why would that young professor
like a mother of two?
Who said anything…
Who said he likes her now?
I'm saying working close together
may lead to it.
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.
It's not because of that.
Anyway, even if they are close,
it won't happen.
You don't know he came to see her
in front of our house, do you?
Our house?
He did say that he lives nearby,
and they ran into
each other in passing.
But that could be an excuse.
They were talking to each other
in the hallway earlier too.
They seemed to
be on great terms.
You must have an
emergency surgery.
Why did you show up
in front of our house?
I find it unpleasant.
Are you worried
I might expose your affair?
Don't worry. I
didn't say anything.
Do you think I don't have
other topics to
talk to her about?
Then what more do
you have to tell her?
You're so full of yourself.
Ma'am, I'm so sorry.
You're still at work at this hour
because of me.
I'm aware of your difficulties.
But…
I'm a working mom too.
This is about
your child's college admissions.
You should keep this kind
of appointment no matter what.
Right.
I-rang.
Sorry.
- I came so late, right?
- I had low expectations anyway.
What about the money?
Did you get it?
Let's go.
I said let's go.
You're hungry, right?
I'm starving.
I haven't eaten anything
since I was waiting for you.
I'm sorry.
Did you eat?
I haven't eaten either.
GUSAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
I'm sure you heard from the colon
and rectal surgery professor.
The liver metastasis is worsening
due to hematogenous metastasis
since the treatment
has been delayed.
Thankfully, the cancer cells are
only on the surface and can be removed.
But if the treatment
is delayed any longer,
the cancer might invade
major liver blood vessels
and may make it
difficult to operate on.
I know this is difficult,
but as of now,
the best option is to terminate
the pregnancy, perform surgery,
and receive chemotherapy.
What will you do?
What do you mean?
I told you I'm having this baby.
How can the baby be important
when your life is at stake?
Mom.
Just as I'm precious to you,
this baby is precious to me.
- I'm going to have this baby.
- But you have to live!
Why are you so obsessed
over a child that's not even born yet?
Stop it.
Is he the baby's father?
This person is an actor.
Right?
No.
He's not the baby's father.
CHA JEONG-SUK
ORDINARY ACCOUNT
- Hello.
- Hello.
Your car is nice.
I just got it.
It looks expensive.
- I got it on an OD.
- OD?
- An overdraft account?
- Yes.
Gosh, look how
irresponsible she is.
An OD?
Dr. Jeon!
Can I get an
overdraft account too?
- Unless you have bad credit, then yes.
- Up to how much?
It's about 100 million won
for interns and residents.
It depends on the bank,
so you should check.
Okay.
Thank you!
You said you had
no loans in your name, right?
Yes.
But you have a loan
against your real estate.
For 450 million won.
What?
How is that possible
when I don't own any real estate?
You have a building
under your name in Gyeonggi-do.
Mother, are you going out?
- Yes, Jeong-suk.
- Yes?
Go to the district office today
and make a seal.
A seal?
Yes, you need a seal
to buy and sell things.
You may need one when taking care
of things for the household.
You should make
one just in case.
And when you do,
leave it with me, okay?
Should I issue a loan
using this building as collateral?
No, just make it a credit loan.
Yes, ma'am.
Excuse me.
The building under my name.
Can I get the address to it?
She always said she
didn't have any money.
The special lecture fee?
Yes.
I paid the academy.
Where did you get the money?
There's no way Dad helped.
You don't need to know that.
Don't worry about money and work hard
on getting into that art school.
Pursuing art will sour things
with your dad,
so you have to take responsibility
for your actions, okay?
Come on, how did
you get the money?
I have a job now.
I got a credit loan for workers.
I know you don't like that I work,
but you do at times like this, right?
I know you do.
I know you love it.
It makes you want to laugh.
Mom, thank you.
This is a 32-year-old male patient
suffering from Crohn's disease
and it looks like he had been suffering
from diverticulitis in his sigmoid colon.
The inflammation in that area worsened,
and on April 22nd in Busan,
he received Hartmann's procedure
after being diagnosed with panperitonitis.
Since he's still young,
he wants to be able to defecate
through the anus.
He visited the outpatient clinic of
our Colon and Rectal Surgery Department
for a stoma reversal surgery.
I'm presenting this case to discuss
when to pursue the reversal surgery
and the current level
of Crohn's disease activity.
- Have you met the Hartmann patient?
- Yes, I have.
How is he?
He's stabilized mentally,
so I don't think it will be an issue…
- Hey, Seo Jung-min.
- Yes?
Sorry, but can you get me my phone
from my dorm room?
- Okay.
- Wait!
I'll get it for you.
I could just go get it…
Jeez, she must think Jung-min
is her lackey or something.
She always bosses him around.
What's with her passcode?
My goodness.
Look at all this.
Gosh.
There's no place to step
with all this mess.
Is this men's underwear?
She has a boyfriend?
Goodness.
Whoever that poor soul is,
I feel so bad for him.
Do you really want to do
that in this place?
How youthful.
What am I doing right now?
It's not like this is
my daughter's room.
Her cell phone!
TO MY SON WHOM
I LOVE, JUNG-MIN
This is Jung-min's underwear.
My son…
No way.
They're not thinking
of marriage, are they?
Thank you for the meal.
So-ra.
- What about the dishes?
- Mother.
Everyone here knows
how to wash the dishes.
If you and I prepared the meal,
then other people
should clean it up.
Mother, I can't cut fruit well.
Wouldn't it be more efficient
for an expert to cut it
rather than have me mess it up?
Mother, these materials
are for my paper,
so you should write them
according to the SOAP.
Do you want people to criticize
these poorly-written charts?
What's worse is that
everything she says is right.
Jung-min.
Yes.
Okay.
But you don't…
have a girlfriend, do you?
I don't.
I said I don't.
I'm telling you the truth.
Let's talk later.
Okay.
What were you talking about?
Is someone asking you for money?
Yes, I told them I
don't have any money.
Good job.
But what is your mother like?
Why do you ask?
I was wondering if she gets along
with Professor Seo.
Is this about that rumor
about Dr. Cha and my father?
There's nothing
going on between them.
I'm not asking because
of that, you punk.
"You punk"?
You keep trying to rile me up.
How can you call
your boyfriend "punk"?
I can do what I want, you punk.
Wait for me.
Thank you for bringing my phone.
Do you have something to say?
Dr. Jeon.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Yes.
I do, why?
Who is it?
Why does it feel
like I'm being interrogated here?
Goodness.
I'm not interrogating.
I was just being curious, that's all.
Who's your boyfriend?
Is it someone I know?
I'm not going to tell you.
I don't care that
you're curious.
I have no reason
to answer questions like that.
You!
Are you really
dating that rude girl?
What?
He's pretending not
to have a girlfriend.
What's the point of
confirming the truth?
It'll just make
all three of us uncomfortable.
Dr. Seo.
I don't see your watch.
You always wear it.
Right, I forgot to wear it.
I took it off while showering.
At a friend's house.
I knew it.
They've already gone
as far as they can go.
That punk takes after me.
I know things
are uncomfortable between us,
but let's talk when
we eat together.
Sorry, it's not like that.
There aren't many famous art academies
in that neighborhood.
Your wife will just think of it like
that and move on.
That's not the full issue.
The new guy in my department,
Roy or whatever.
Sure, I know him.
He's the one who performed
your wife's liver transplant.
That punk knows.
About us.
How?
I don't know how he found out,
but he knows.
He's acting all high and mighty
because he thinks he knows my weakness.
It pisses me off.
What are you going to do?
What can that punk do?
It's none of his business.
May I sit down?
Of course.
Do you have something to say?
I have no intention of breaking up
with Professor Seo.
That's interesting.
Why are you making
that confession to me?
Because I have
no one else to tell.
Then you should try
talking to a wall instead.
If you want
to tell her about us, go ahead.
To Dr. Cha.
Are you asking me
to break up a family for you?
I don't care what you think.
For whose benefit
would I do that?
Don't try to use me.
I thought you were a bit better
than Professor Seo.
I'm greatly disappointed.
Professor.
Do you need to speak to me
about something?
Don't smile.
You have something
in your teeth.
I'm stressed.
Over here.
Gosh, Ms. Kwak.
You got here before me.
Yes. I left early
because it's been a while
since I've been out.
Since I was late,
I should give you this first.
Open it.
Oh, my, this is a
designer brand.
Goodness, it's a scarf.
You seemed to be always bothered
by that scar on your neck.
You can cover it
with this pretty scarf.
Once the seasons change,
I'll get you one in a different color.
My goodness.
Try it on.
I think it will suit you well
since you have such fair skin.
Thank you.
I've been feeling
so weak these days.
I'm so touched by this.
- I'll try it on.
- Okay.
It's pretty.
Does it cover it up well?
- I feel so reinvigorated.
- Yes.
I'm in such a good mood.
Professor, you can't
look at the camera.
Okay.
Ma'am, how is your pain?
It's slowly getting better.
But it still hurts.
You will get better in time.
It'll improve slowly.
Are you eating well?
I'm managing to eat, but I can't seem
to have a bowel movement.
Goodness.
It'd be great if you'd give me
some constipation medicine.
I'll let the doctor in
charge of you know.
Is everything else fine?
Yes.
Professor, you're
very friendly today.
You don't know how
frustrated I've been
because you'd always rush out of here
before I could ask you anything.
Is that so?
It's just that I have
a lot of patients.
The adhesion is
worse than I thought.
Connecting it won't be easy.
I'm worried the sigmoid colon
might not come down far enough.
Can we get the
splenic flexure further?
It's at its limit.
His pelvis is narrow,
and the length is barely making it.
- Move it down. Let's try to connect it.
- Yes, sir.
- I'm inserting the body.
- Slowly.
Yes, good.
Go forward with the spike.
Yes, going forward
with the spike.
Go all the way in.
Okay.
I'm going to
staple it now. Fire.
Firing.
Please pass me the water.
Put it all in.
Shoot it in again.
It's slightly leaking.
Let's reinforce it.
Do we have glue?
- Let's apply some first.
- Okay.
It can't be helped.
We'll have to go with a diversion.
- There's no way around it.
- Okay.
Professor, are you all right?
My arm.
I can't move it.
We pulled the stoma
and put in the Hemovac drain.
All we need to do is close the stomach
and maturate the stoma.
Call in a fellow now.
We tried to perform
the stoma reversal.
But the tissue
wasn't as healthy as we thought,
and the length wasn't
long enough either.
For now, we have constructed
a temporary ileostomy
so that no feces pass
through the anastomosis area.
Then can you really remove
the stoma next time?
Let's monitor your progress.
Gosh, if I knew
your arm was that bad,
I wouldn't have asked you
for such a cumbersome favor.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to inconvenience
the department.
I apologize for
the trouble, Chief.
There's no need for that.
You were the perfect man
for the broadcast.
Who will I recommend now?
Why does he look so cool?
Isn't this the patient
that took aspirin as heart medication?
Did this patient
stop taking aspirin?
How long has it been?
I didn't check.
Well…
The patient stopped taking it
after being admitted yesterday.
I'm sorry.
Why do you fail to check
important things on time?
If I hadn't asked,
you wouldn't have checked,
and the patient would've taken aspirin
until it was time for the surgery!
Where are you going?
Well, I…
was going to go watch…
My shoulder.
Are you going to stay stubborn?
Why do something
you'll obviously regret?
It's my life. I'll be
the judge of that.
Did you make that
life on your own?
Jung-min listened to you,
went to med school, and became a doctor.
Do you think he's satisfied
and happy with his life?
Jung-min wanted to major in communications
and become a variety show producer.
You didn't know that, did you?
He didn't even mention it
because he knew you'd laugh.
Jung-min listened
to you so well,
but he seems to be
awfully regretting it now.
That little punk.
- You weren't in the surgery room?
- It finished early.
Where are you going?
I have to go push
for an examination.
Give me a kiss before you go.
A kiss?
What are you doing here?
Doctor, what should we do
about my husband?
What's wrong?
He keeps saying he doesn't want to live
and that he wants to die.
I'm scared that
something might happen.
It's not uncommon to feel that way
after a failed surgery.
But his biggest source of strength
right now is his family.
Please try your
best to comfort him.
Will he really be okay?
I'm back to where I started.
With two holes
on each side of me.
When your condition improves,
you'll be able to undergo
the surgery again.
Right, have you exercised?
You have to keep moving
to stimulate your intestines.
I went up to the roof before.
Why the roof?
I wondered if I would feel at peace
if I died there.
It would have been better if this was
something I'd die of in a few months.
But the thought of having
to live like this forever
makes me feel so hopeless.
Goodness, you shouldn't say
things like that.
You're only saying that because
you don't know how hopeless it really is
to have death staring
at you in the face.
You've never experienced
what I have either.
I don't know if I'll be able
to work again,
if I can maintain my marriage,
or if I should have kids.
I have no certainty
as to how I should live.
Dr. Jeon.
The patient, Hwang Seon-gyu.
I think he's suffering
from severe depression.
I'm aware.
His wife seemed very worried.
Shouldn't we consult
the Psychiatry Department?
More than half of Crohn's patients
are in their twenties and thirties.
So it's natural that
they feel hopeless.
It's even more so for him
since it's post-surgery.
But he'll be better soon.
If so, that's a relief.
I just feel for him.
He's at a similar age as my son.
You have a son?
I do.
My son is very precious to me.
You must have raised him
with great love and care.
I did.
But in the end,
all that effort was in vain.
Goodness.
Anyway, I think we
should do what we can.
Could you please talk
to the professor about this?
Okay.
- Bring in the camera more.
- Okay.
But didn't this patient want
her uterine fibroids removed too?
I was going to ask her a final time,
but I never got around to it.
I asked her.
She wants to observe it first.
Really? Good job.
You normally don't
even glance at me.
What's gotten into you?
Did you change your hairstyle?
What is with you?
You never noticed things about me,
even if I were to shave my head.
Why do you have
to be so extreme?
I know I may be indifferent,
but how would I not realize
if you shaved your head?
I'm just saying.
Anyway, even though it's unlike you,
thanks for noticing.
Have you received
cosmetic treatments too?
You've been exercising
and putting effort into your appearance.
My skin has always
been good, okay?
Why do you look so pretty today?
You look great.
Just let Choi Seung-hi
have Seo In-ho.
I will do that later.
It's so funny watching
them snoop around.
Am I going crazy?
Mom, Dad, why did you come
without telling us?
We should come
since our son-in-law is sick.
Father, Mother.
You go out and buy us
some juice or something.
I'm dying of thirst.
Okay.
I'm ashamed to face both of you.
Goodness.
How could you hide this horrific disease
and marry our daughter?
How dare you ruin my daughter's life?
What on earth is this?
I'm sorry.
Seon-gyu.
I heard this disease is genetic.
Please give up on this marriage.
Even if my daughter says it's okay,
you should have given up on this marriage.
I wasn't hoping you'd
give my daughter a life of comfort.
But I can't bear seeing her
care for her sick husband
from the very beginning!
We are begging
you. Please.
Seon-gyu.
Where are Mom and Dad?
Something urgent
came up, so they left.
What? Without
saying goodbye to me?
Did they say something to you?
No.
They told me not to worry
and to take care of myself.
What a relief.
Hey.
Yes?
You remember that cheonggukjang
place in Yangpyeong?
Yes.
I'm craving their cheonggukjang.
Could you go buy some for me?
Hello…
SEO-YEON, I'M SORRY
FOR MAKING THIS DECISION
BUT THE REST OF MY LIFE
SEEMS LIKE AN ENDLESS TUNNEL…
Hello? Is this 911?
I'm calling from the new wing
of Gusan University Hospital.
There's a patient
who's trying to commit suicide.
Please come quickly!
Mr. Hwang Seon-gyu.
Mr. Hwang Seon-gyu.
I'm sorry.
- Goodness.
- Gosh.
What is going on here?
- Hello, sir.
- Hey.
What is all this commotion?
Is there a fire?
Judging by the air mats,
that doesn't seem to be the case.
It seems like someone
is trying to jump.
It's the Crohn's disease patient
whose stoma reversal failed.
He wrote a suicide note
and went to the roof.
Isn't that my patient?
He's still so young.
Why would he make such a drastic choice?
It could be more hopeless
because he's young.
What?
Dr. Cha went
to dissuade him
because she's his doctor.
Let's go down.
Your wife is waiting.
I can't live, and I can't die.
This is honestly
so embarrassing.
There's no need
to feel that way.
Are you okay?
I'll persuade him,
so come over here.
He's my patient, so I'll persuade him!
He'll listen to me!
All right.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Okay?
Oh, no!
What a relief.
It's such a relief.
It's okay.
Sir, are you all right?
- Make preparations. We're bringing him in.
- He fell by accident.
We'll take it from here.
Are you crazy? Why
would you go up there?
You almost died!
Are you okay?
I'm glad you're safe.
DOCTOR CHA
What could this be?
Maybe they are in a love triangle!
But how did you
two become friends?
I think it's a little too late
for you to be asking me that.
You crazy
bastard! A love child?
Does Mom know too?
Your mom doesn't know,
and she can't find out.
You've fooled her until now.
Make sure she stays in the dark.
Happy birthday.
It's Professor Choi's
social media page.
Professor Seo went
on vacation during that time?
