Ghost Doctor (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 16 - Episode #1.16 - full transcript
Dr. Cha.
Why are you so surprised?
It's not the first time we've talked.
Why are you asking me to operate on you?
-How could you trust me?
-I've always trusted you.
Both as a person and a surgeon.
Although you did break
your oath as a doctor.
What's more important to you now?
You can improve what you lack
in surgical skills.
Now how do you recover
from breaking your oath?
You know what needs to be done.
But…
why are you asking me to do it
after all that?
You asked me to stop you. To save you.
Sometimes, when a doctor is about
to operate on a patient,
the patient dies on the operating table
before surgery even begins.
-Isn't that right?
-Don't make any mistakes this time.
Get the deed done swiftly.
I completely forgot about you.
You were the one who endangered
Chairman Jang's life.
Am I your target now?
You're going to do the deed
using a scalpel
while I'm on the operating table?
It would be simple.
One incision on the native blood vessel
and I'd die instantly.
You evil bastard.
Dr. Cha.
Stop me from doing this.
Save me.
No.
I can't do it.
Did you cause
the liquid food accident then as well?
Being a doctor means
you've always got blood on your hands.
And that blood
equates to a person's life,
which they depend on doctors to save.
They plead with us to save them.
The blood, flesh,
and bones we operate on every day
contain the life of a person.
Each life is precious and miraculous.
And after an operation,
you can wipe the blood clean.
But there is a kind of
blood you cannot wash away.
It's why you don't have the right
to wear a doctor's coat again.
You've changed.
You used to tell us that
only surgical skills matter in medicine.
Tae-hyun.
Dr. Ahn. Why couldn't you
trust me a little?
If you had been patient with me…
Operate on me.
It'll be the last chance
you'll get to touch blood.
Whether you choose to save or let me die,
that's up to you.
What are you talking about?
How could you allow Dr. Ahn
to operate on Young-min?
That's outrageous.
Dr. Koh, you know what he did.
I do.
He caused your father's death.
Then how could you?
Young-min is in a coma
because of him, too.
Dr. Cha is still alive
thanks to him though.
During Dr. Cha's tamponade operation,
Dr. Cha entered my body but was
kicked out in the middle of surgery.
I couldn't continue the surgery.
Dr. Cha almost died at that moment.
But Dr. Ahn came and saved him.
That was then.
But now we know his despicable actions.
Do you think he'll save Young-min?
-How can you trust him?
-I don't trust him.
I'm trusting Dr. Cha's wishes.
Not Dr. Ahn.
It's like what you said.
A miracle is 99% heaven's will
and the rest comes from human will.
You witnessed it yourself.
He'll come back to us.
To the way he used to be.
Because Dr. Cha has people to protect
and things he needs to seek.
There you are.
That's my name.
This was a new coat style 20 years ago.
But now it's old-fashioned.
You kept that for all these years?
Of course.
We're born with nothing in this world.
But we inherit things.
It's rare for a person
to be able to leave this world
with their name emblazoned on a coat.
What did you think of me
ever since I joined the hospital?
Why do you ask? You're curious?
You think you'll go back to your old ways
when you wake up?
I've possessed
different doctors over the years.
But there was one doctor
that got my attention.
I admired him for trying to beat the odds
and save patients.
On the other hand, he didn't care
how his patients felt.
At times, I felt he was too obsessed
with his surgical skills.
What's the point of telling you this?
You won't remember a thing…
when you wake up.
Young-min.
When you wake up,
don't forget to become a doctor who cares.
All right?
And be a good surgeon.
Let's not meet again.
Since we're not going to meet again,
I'll tell you something.
Tess wasn't short for Socrates.
It's Hippocrates.
It's an honor for you to see me off.
I can't walk with you to the door.
-You know that, right?
-Of course, I know.
The boundary is around here.
Mine is there.
I wonder if Mr. Ban
will feel less burdened now.
He had to leave in a hurry
in the middle of my operation
because his daughter got in an accident.
When he learned that my operation
didn't go well, he cried so much.
He insisted that the hospital let me stay.
That put him in an awkward situation.
So he's been tiptoeing
around the administration.
Is that so?
I told him not to come and see me off.
Bye.
Give me your autograph later.
I wonder if I'll ever be able to
watch a movie where he stars as the lead.
I might miss my ambulance.
It's the first time I'll be going outside
in two years. I can't wait.
See you around, Dr. Cha.
Wish you luck.
Have a good life.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Goodbye.
Sorry I have to leave you behind.
CARDIOLOGY DEPARTMENT
DR. CHA YOUNG-MIN
Don't disappear before my eyes anymore.
I'll be seeing you in the living world.
As one doctor to another.
Treat me to lunch every day.
No night shifts.
I'm sure you'll do that.
I hope I'll forget all my memories of you.
After you wake up,
I hope you won't be your old self again.
Don't worry. I'll only be mean to you.
Hysterically.
Let's go. It's our last operation.
We need to do it beautifully.
It has to be perfect.
An operation that everyone will remember.
Let's go, Seung-tak.
Choi Hoon-gil. Male, 27.
We'll begin the VP shunt.
The point of entry will be
the abdomen area and Kocher's Point.
Duration is expected to be
between an hour and two hours.
Expected bleeding is 50 to 100.
Is that correct?
-Yes, it's correct.
-Then we'll begin. Scalpel.
I can't perform such a surgery.
How can I do an operation
that even senior doctors can't do?
I'm not asking you to do it.
Then what?
I'll be the lead surgeon.
You'll assist.
We did this procedure last year. Remember?
What if that were to happen?
If my hand shakes
in the middle of the operation
and we get separated.
I'll do my best to hang on.
If that happens, Dr. Ahn will step in.
He can handle this.
Do you think he'll do it?
He'll do it. I know him.
What are they doing?
It's Cha Young-min.
All right. I have no choice then.
I'll have to save these hands of mine.
A doctor not only thinks
about the patient's life
but also has to consider the patient's
life to make the best decision possible.
To protect what is precious
to that person.
I'm a patient and a doctor
at the same time.
I'll do what is best
for this patient as a doctor.
Patient is Cha Young-min. Male, 38.
Suffering from
a narrow right innominate artery.
We will operate on the innominate artery.
It'll require opening the chest.
On the innominate artery itself?
Not a bypass?
This patient is currently infected.
There'll be inflammation.
The tissue is friable,
so we need to be extra cautious,
-Tae-hyun.
-Yes, Doctor.
Shall we begin? Scalpel.
Give me the gauze.
Suction.
-Cut.
-Cut.
Found it.
It's here.
-Focus.
-What are the high-risk areas?
the Ones we have to watch out for.
When you attach the innominate artery
and stitch the native and graft.
If you slice the native,
then you have to go deeper.
Which makes it more complicated and risky.
If we don't succeed in stitching it…
It'll be a failure.
Focus.
We'll suture the graft
to the native vessel.
Prolene 8-0.
No.
I need to stay calm.
Doctor.
Got it.
Suction.
I can't see anything.
Stay calm. Don't panic.
Let's get a visual on it. Catheter. Hurry.
I have to find the suture point.
Fast.
I found it.
Prolene 8-0. Again.
Just a little more.
Please.
Please.
What's wrong with him?
Tae-hyun. Cut.
The surgery is over. Good job.
Dr. Koh, what's wrong?
What's going on?
Seung-tak, you do it.
Finish the surgery.
Are you crazy?
-How can I?
-You just have to suture it.
You can do that.
But still…
You've been practicing.
Space it evenly.
It's time you get some real practice.
You can do this.
You, punk. I'm entrusting myself to you.
I'll be by your side and help.
Are you just going to watch
and not do anything?
Should I let that jerk do it?
Get the wire ready.
Hold the wire near the front
and not the middle.
Good.
Perpendicular to the sternum.
That way, it'll work better.
Keep the space and depth precise.
If you don't do it right,
the patient will get hernia.
Punk.
I haven't gotten married yet.
If I get a keloid, that's on you.
Use the derma lock instead of the stapler.
Keep things clean.
I want a clean look.
Am I doing all right?
Yes, you're doing good.
Why didn't you tell me beforehand?
You caught me off guard.
Punk.
Consider it an honor
that I'm your first patient.
Why do I always have to be honored?
Seung-tak.
Thanks.
From the day we met
to this very moment.
It's over.
It's done.
Right?
Yes, it's done.
His heart rate is stable.
His blood pressure is not falling.
I think the operation is a success.
All right!
-Yes!
-Seung-tak did it!
Seung-tak did it!
He pulled it off!
Dr. Lee, good job. Good job, Dr. Kim.
Great going, Administrative Director.
RESTRICTED ACCESS
He's not here, right?
He's not pranking us, right?
He's disappeared, yes?
Hey, Seung-tak!
Is the operation over?
How did it go? Was it a success?
Intern.
Dr. Cha?
It's over and it went well.
Dr. Cha's spirit vanished.
He completely disappeared.
They actually beat heaven's will.
I'm proud of you.
Dr. Cha told me not to tell you
until you made it.
When you were up for a senior position,
Dr. Cha backed you.
But Director Han refused you.
For both applications.
Dr. Cha called
the administrative director out
for discriminating against you
because you went to a state school.
Each time Mr. Han gave him excuses.
Dr. Cha backed you even harder since then
so that you could get more surgeries
under your belt.
Dr. Cha has a warm side
underneath his cold personality.
What the hell?
Have you gone mad?
How could you betray me like this?
What did I do?
Who betrayed who?
-What?
-I said I'd get blood on my hands.
Which I did.
I said I would end it and I did.
What's wrong with a doctor
performing surgery on a patient?
You better watch it.
Don't worry.
A successful surgery
doesn't always lead to recovery.
He won't remember anything
after he wakes up.
As long as I stay quiet,
we're safe, right?
You're probably the only person
to ever operate on your own body.
Good job, Young-min.
You did great.
He has to wake up this time.
Yes, he will.
Don't worry.
I know you're a good surgeon,
but you can't predict this.
The operation went well but…
I'm 100 percent sure.
Trust these eyes. I've got 20/20 vision.
Vision?
Not your hands?
It'll take several days
until he regains consciousness.
He's been in a coma for months, after all.
He's been stressed a lot,
so he needs rest.
-He's so good-looking.
-I know.
-How can someone look that handsome?
-Is he in a boy band?
-Is he a celebrity?
-I think he is.
-That's why he's so cute.
-He's lovely to look at.
Look at him.
Welcome back to the real world.
You know who I am, right?
No recognition. It happened again.
He's the one who obtained the brain scan
from your past traffic accident.
Thanks to him, we got a breakthrough.
How did he know?
I usually don't say this
to anyone except to myself.
But your looks are on par with mine.
Like a celebrity.
You've been lying in bed for a long time.
You'll experience dizziness.
We'll monitor your condition
while you receive physical therapy.
You mustn't overexert yourself.
You'll have a full recovery
after a few months.
Thank you.
So they don't recognize you.
I'm used to it now. It happens frequently.
Young-min will act the same, I guess.
There's another person
who doesn't recognize me.
Doctor, I'm going to be discharged today.
Thank you for all you've done for me.
Congratulations.
I hope to see you looking
much better in your follow-up.
Sure, Doctor.
By the way, I'm going on a trip next week.
I'm going to take time
to search for myself
and think about my future.
Will you go with your fiance?
You shouldn't.
No, I'm going alone.
I'm reconsidering getting married to him.
That's a good idea.
I would suggest not marrying him.
All right. Have a nice trip.
Don't overexert yourself.
I won't, Doctor.
What happened to the coma patient
you operated on?
He's in Room 708.
I'm so glad he woke up.
He looks strangely familiar.
Have I met him before?
How dare you touch me?
I want a male doctor instead of a woman.
That stung. Gosh.
How dare you touch her like that.
She might be just an intern to you
but she's my precious daughter.
Mom, stop it.
What the hell? Let go of me!
All doctors are equal.
What difference does it make
whether she's male or female?
The patient is drunk. Once he gets sober…
Then treat him after he's sober.
Eat this lunch first.
-What?
-You need to be strong
to handle patients like that.
Drink this tonic and get stronger.
Become a respected doctor
so that patients will seek you out
and beg you to treat them. Understand?
Mom.
And sleep at home no matter what.
That way you can get better sleep.
Getting quality sleep is important.
You said heart surgeons need good stamina.
Mom, I knew you'd respect my decision
and support me.
Thanks, Mom. I'm so grateful.
Have this lunch.
I got up early to pack this big lunch
for you.
I'll eat it all.
I won't leave any leftovers.
-Ma'am.
-Ma'am.
Hi.
I like this a lot.
I made cucumber kimchi, so try that.
You like this.
I like it, too.
They got to her before I did.
When will I get to eat with her?
How come I don't have one picture
taken with him?
Spirits can't be photographed, I guess.
I should've made him write a letter.
What? What is this?
Is it recording?
Young-min, look at me.
Do I look like Seung-tak?
It's me, Young-min.
What? When did he record this?
I'm inside Seung-tak's body
and leaving this message to myself to see.
It'll be hard to believe.
I know.
You'll probably think Seung-tak
is playing a prank.
That's understandable.
Because you don't like Seung-tak.
This is quite awkward.
Remember the burgundy suit you bought
at a tailor's in Gangnam?
You bought it
on a six-month installment plan.
After wearing it once,
you wanted to return it
and told them you never wore it.
But they caught you in a lie.
There was a coffee stain on it.
That's right.
It's an embarrassing incident
that nobody knows about.
Will you believe me now?
It's really me. Young-min.
It's me.
So…
listen carefully to what I'll be saying.
You were in a coma for many months.
Ask Seung-tak how you slipped into a coma.
He's bad at explaining things
but after gleaning the important points,
you'll figure it out.
Now, here's the important part.
You were a coma ghost
wandering around the hospital.
You didn't know if you would live or die.
It might come to you
as a frightening situation.
But it's all right.
When you're a ghost,
there are some positives to it.
You hear a lot of things.
And learn many new things.
However…
you won't remember anything
after you wake up.
So I'm going to tell you what happened.
It was the most difficult
and the most memorable three months
you've experienced in life.
You rekindled a relationship.
And made many promises.
I'll tell you what it was…
that compelled you to return.
There were special people around you.
And events that you can't forget.
I'll tell you about them.
Last but not least,
remember this, Young-min.
Young-min.
Are you awake, Young-min?
Do you recognize me?
Young-min, you're awake.
Young-min, you're back.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Dr. Cha, you're awake?
Is he awake?
You're awake.
I can feel his hand.
Look at this. I'm holding his hand.
You have soft hands.
Well, your hands didn't do any work.
It was mine that performed surgery.
Hey, punk.
What?
Get your hands off me.
And go away.
I'm a complete nobody to him?
Me? How could he?
-Doctor!
-Dr. Cha!
Doctor! We were so worried
that you wouldn't wake up.
-What a relief!
-Are you still weak?
I missed you so much.
You're awake, Doctor.
Are you awake, Doctor?
How are you feeling?
Hey, Sun-ho.
How long have I been in a coma?
Over three months.
Three months, you say?
I heard Dr. Ahn operated on me.
Why isn't he showing up?
He did it as a guest surgeon.
He left afterward.
A guest surgeon?
What are you talking about?
Did he quit? Why?
It's a long story.
By the way…
My patient, Chairman Jang.
How is he doing?
EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
I bought you flowers since the ones here
started wilting. Nice, right?
Your leg muscles are very weak
since you've been lying in bed.
So take it easy for now.
You'll be able to walk after a day or two.
Se-jin, shouldn't you be in Seattle?
I'm sorry about your dad.
I wasn't able to save him.
I know you did your best.
It's not your fault, Young-min.
I heard you're here as a visiting doctor.
Is it because of me?
Why didn't you leave me
like you did before?
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm going to stay by your side.
You and I made a promise together.
You still think
I'm that dumb man you knew
12 years ago, right?
-Young-min.
-What?
Is it because
you've found out what an impressive
doctor I have become?
Or did you think
I'd welcome you back with open arms
no matter when you came?
Go back.
To America or wherever.
To where you belong.
If he can't remember,
I can just tell him everything.
It's not that hard.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to do the squeezing
and change your dressing.
I can do this now.
Hey, Punk.
I asked you twice what you're doing here.
I'm a doctor. Where else would I be?
And you'll soon learn
that I'm an excellent surgeon.
You'll be shocked.
You can't be that good.
I don't trust you. Call Dr. Kim.
I didn't want to show you this
so soon but…
-Hey, what is this?
-I don't know.
This will be awkward to watch.
What is this, Seung-tak?
All right. Got it.
He asked about Chairman Jang's condition
and where Dr. Ahn is.
He has no recollection
of the accident he was in.
He can't remember?
I'm glad to see you back
and recovering, Dr. Cha.
Congratulations.
You didn't have to come to visit me.
Of course, I had to come.
You're our best surgeon.
Do you know I elated I was when I heard
you woke up?
You've probably heard about Chairman Jang.
I'm sorry about that.
I know it'll weigh on you heavily.
But don't blame yourself.
You probably had your reasons
for being away.
You were in a car crash on your way back
to the hospital.
We settled it well with the family.
So don't dwell on it.
Just focus on your recovery.
This might sound too personal.
But I'm so relieved that you
woke up, Dr. Cha.
My chest hurts.
Why did you come empty-handed
if you're so thankful?
You should've brought
that bottle of champagne.
Han Seung-won.
I recall telling you to wait patiently
until I came to you.
I guess you were worried
seeing how you're here so soon.
Did you come to see
if I remembered anything?
And maybe to blame me
for Chairman Jang's death
if I knew too much?
How do you remember all of that?
That's a private matter.
What can you do about it?
Who'll trust someone
who just woke up from a coma?
Of course they won't.
Obviously.
But they'll trust the witness.
I told you before.
The truth will always come out.
If someone privy to your plans is alive.
By the way,
you should be thankful that I'm alive.
That's one less guilty sentence for you.
You'll have a lot of time
on your hands in prison.
So try to reform yourself there.
You'll feel the full brunt of the weight
of a person's life,
which you disregard so blatantly.
Get out. I'm sleepy.
He's scared out of his wits.
-It'll become a habit.
-What is this, Seung-tak?
What is this?
Do you see it?
The space is uneven.
I told you to do it cleanly.
Because I haven't gotten married yet.
That I'd be blaming you if I get a keloid.
And…
what are you still doing here?
I told you to observe surgeries
or be an assisting surgeon
at least once a day.
You're slacking off.
You said it yourself.
That you needed more practice
and real-life experience.
I sacrificed myself
to give you that experience.
So you should be trying harder.
Dr. Cha!
Doctor!
Don't grab me.
You didn't do that before so why now?
I can feel you. You're solid.
I got surgery there. Don't.
Why were you pranking me? How could you?
I told you not to bother the living.
You have to protect them.
Those two have moved the heavens.
What else will they accomplish?
Rules are meant to be broken, after all.
Whoever has the stronger will wins.
The number you have dialed
cannot be reached…
Why isn't he answering?
Yes?
-The police?
-Mr. Ahn Tae-hyun has confessed
to causing the death
of Chairman Jang Gwang-deok.
Under questioning, he said
you hired him to kill the chairman.
That is preposterous.
We have a witness and evidence.
So we need you to come in.
I suggest you come on your own.
If you refuse,
we'll issue an arrest warrant.
What evidence?
Let me have Dr. Cha's position.
When I injected Chairman Jang,
I committed an unspeakable act.
I pulled the trigger.
I got my hands dirty already.
Doing it again
won't make a big difference.
I guess I saved
that position for you all along.
Dr. Cha, I'm at the police station.
I was going to visit you
after you woke up from surgery.
I couldn't bring myself
to enter the hospital.
I felt too guilty, so I left.
I won't be able to
wash away the blood on my hands.
After I serve my sentence, I'll visit you.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Stay healthy.
Thank you for trusting me
and giving me a second chance.
I will keep my promise
by not accepting any money.
I already filed a claim on my share
of the inheritance.
Once I get it, I'll donate it all.
You'll never get your share
of the inheritance.
I'll use every means possible
to block you.
You murdered our dad.
-As his daughter…
-I murdered who?
Murder?
Hey. I didn't kill Dad.
I didn't do anything with these hands.
Let's be honest. He only had
one more year left to live anyway.
Sending him to his grave painlessly
is showing mercy.
And…
you're the one who ended his life support.
Taking away even one day
of a person's life is murder.
Just one day
would have been enough time
for me to call him dad
instead of stating his time of death.
Even if Dad forgave you,
I can't forgive you.
We're the police. Mr. Jang Min-ho.
You're under arrest for hiring a person
to murder Jang Gwang-deok.
A qualified person
will occupy this position.
When your court date is decided,
let me know.
I'll walk with you there.
You have the right to remain silent.
-What the heck? I didn't murder anyone.
-You partially admitted to it
in your conversation with Ms. Jang.
There will be other charges, too.
For embezzlement and fraud
while you were vice president
of the Cheonmyung Group.
You also hired thugs to beat Mr. Koh.
Excuse me. Please continue.
What are these charges about?
Do you have evidence?
Where's the evidence?
Anything you say may be used against you
in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
Let go of me!
What?
You're going to pile on me?
You weren't like this before, cousin.
I stand corrected.
You used to be a sore loser
and get back at people.
Why you!
You beat the kids who bullied me.
And fought the adults
who whispered about
how I caused my dad's death.
Back then
I really liked you.
It's true that I didn't want this
to happen to you.
I was hoping you'd repent
before Dr. Cha woke up from his coma.
But…
it's too late now, isn't it?
I'll welcome you back
no matter how long it takes.
I hope you'll become your old self again.
I'll wait for you to return.
You have broad shoulders I see.
-What are you doing?
-I just can't help touching you.
It's reassuring.
We had no physical connection
the whole time.
-This is nicer.
-Hey, keep your distance.
Get off me.
Be gentle. I have a stake
in your body, you know.
Hey, punk. How dare you touch me
before anyone else does?
You look disappointed, I see.
Is it because I'm not her?
Did I say that?
How long are you going to keep acting
in front of her?
I told you this before.
I'm going to start the relationship
all over again.
My way. It'll be much more romantic
and melodramatic with a touch of comedy.
People in romantic comedies
start as enemies and then fall in love.
There are misunderstandings
and maybe a little chase too.
In a plot twist, they come together
after a big fight.
We already did all of that.
So I was in a romantic comedy?
But where is Dr. Jang anyway?
Is she very busy?
Dr. Jang left for America a few days ago.
-She ended her visiting doctor term.
-What?
You didn't know? I thought you knew.
You told her to go back.
She really went because I said that?
Why didn't you stop her?
Of course, I tried.
I told her to be patient.
But she said she couldn't take it anymore.
She was very hurt.
What did you say to her? Never mind that.
Give me her address in America.
I forgot to ask.
You, punk!
She dumped you I see.
How will you be in a romantic comedy
without a partner?
You can't overexert yourself
after you're discharged, you know.
Especially, no long-distance flights.
Hey. Tell me her email
or social media account.
Hey.
Hey, Seung-tak.
-My chest.
-What?
-Hurry up and tell me.
-Gosh.
-Seung-tak.
-I've been around here too long.
It's time to let them take it over.
Watch over this hospital for me.
Mandu.
Mandu.
I was so worried about you.
You got here before I did.
Are you all right?
You do look healthy. You're fatter.
You left his pet at my home?
Yes. My mom kicked us out,
so your grandpa took care of his pet.
He's been living in the lap of luxury.
The squirrel daddy
and squirrel son are hardy survivors.
Father and son? Who's the dad?
Some guy. The master of rom-coms.
I'm famished. Treat me to lunch.
You're always asking me to buy you lunch.
You're richer than me.
Dr. Oh Soo-jung.
You applied to the cardiology department.
I used to study with these books.
You can have them.
Really?
Thank you, Dr. Lee.
If you need any help,
feel free to ask me anytime.
And if there's anything you need,
you know who to come to.
Do you have Kirklin's Cardiac Surgery
fourth edition?
I have it in my locker.
Do you want it now?
Yes.
Follow me.
Dr. Lee never did anything for anyone
the whole time I knew him.
Why that guy…
I can't believe what he just did.
I'm not having it.
Pretty doctor!
Are you busy, pretty doctor?
I have something to give you.
I'm not busy.
What is it?
Here.
Why are you giving this to me?
Chocolate cake.
I should've given it to you sooner.
I'm quite late, aren't I?
I'm sorry
for making you wait.
And I also want to thank you.
You've made me proud
by having grown into a pretty lady.
My pretty doctor.
Do what you want in life. Be happy.
Have a good life.
Even while I'm far away,
I'll be rooting for you.
And finish eating the cake.
Bye.
CARDIOLOGY DEPARTMENT
DR. OH JOO-MYUNG,
I've worn this for so long.
I'm grateful to see
how that little kid grew to be this big.
It's time to go.
How nice.
She said she'd be by my side
no matter how long it took.
I held her hand so many times.
And gave her hugs.
Why did she give me this ring?
REAL ESTATE LEASE AGREEMENT
Young-min is renting the place, I see.
He saved up a lot of money.
Seems like you didn't spend your money.
If we combine our funds,
we could buy an apartment.
Your home appliances were all nice.
Should we buy some furniture then?
We'll redo the interior.
Let's pick out the wallpapers,
curtains, and blankets.
Together.
Se-jin.
Give me your answer after you wake up.
While looking at me
with your voice.
Whenever that will be.
No matter how long it takes.
I'll be waiting right here.
I'll have to go to America.
Or should I give it some time?
She might be waiting for me.
If I give in now,
then she'll have the upper hand forever.
But I'm the one who misses her.
So I should go.
Isn't that so? What do you think?
Say something.
Yes?
Who could that be?
I'm not expecting anyone.
You didn't change your passcode.
Hi.
Se-jin?
It's so cold outside.
How have you been? Are you feeling better?
You got home safely?
But what are you doing here?
Didn't you go to America?
I just got back.
I had to wrap things up there.
Dr. Koh didn't tell you?
What?
That punk.
My stuff will arrive in a few days.
There's some paperwork to do first
before I can start work.
Your stuff? What are you talking about?
I told you. I'm moving in.
The furniture you have is all right.
The furniture is all new.
But why are you staying here?
Should I stay at a hotel?
What? A hotel?
A hotel is all right? Is it?
I didn't get to eat
after getting off my flight.
What? You haven't eaten anything?
This whole time?
Geez. Really!
Where's the rice?
I missed you every day.
I was running around furiously
to get back sooner.
Don't worry. Even if you don't
take me back, I can still love you.
I'll give you an outpouring of love.
Well, if you find it awkward,
then I'll stay at a hotel.
Here's my answer.
Facing you with my voice.
You're showing up at work already?
Of course.
The hospital can't live without me.
You seem to be tougher than you look.
What does a heart surgeon need
most of all?
I can't wait.
I'm going to have an easy life now.
-Today is the first day.
-Seung-tak, do 100 squat reps.
-Record yourself and send the video.
-Let's start with a cup of coffee.
Seung-tak, you'll join me
in every operation I do.
You'll be on call for the patients.
For dinner, let's have a steak dinner.
Your treat.
Seung-tak, you'll write
all the conference reports
and organize the thesis papers.
Time to pay you back.
I'll be right by your side.
Hysterically.
You'll regret it.
Last but not least…
remember this,
Young-min.
One, two, three.
Dr. Cha.
The patient has a stab injury.
The knife went into his chest.
The knife went through
between rib two and rib three on the left.
Let's stop the bleeding
with a Foley balloon first.
Move the patient
to the operating room now, Seung-tak.
Remember this.
Every life is precious
just as much as yours is.
Scalpel.
-Suction.
-Suction.
Your hands can keep those lives
in this world a bit longer.
These are skilled hands, right? Admit it.
Hey, did you do the surgery? I did it.
You're standing too close to me.
Hey, I'm hungry. Let's have lunch.
And that's your job
on the border between life and death.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING GHOST DOCTOR
Subtitle translation by: Eric Park
Why are you so surprised?
It's not the first time we've talked.
Why are you asking me to operate on you?
-How could you trust me?
-I've always trusted you.
Both as a person and a surgeon.
Although you did break
your oath as a doctor.
What's more important to you now?
You can improve what you lack
in surgical skills.
Now how do you recover
from breaking your oath?
You know what needs to be done.
But…
why are you asking me to do it
after all that?
You asked me to stop you. To save you.
Sometimes, when a doctor is about
to operate on a patient,
the patient dies on the operating table
before surgery even begins.
-Isn't that right?
-Don't make any mistakes this time.
Get the deed done swiftly.
I completely forgot about you.
You were the one who endangered
Chairman Jang's life.
Am I your target now?
You're going to do the deed
using a scalpel
while I'm on the operating table?
It would be simple.
One incision on the native blood vessel
and I'd die instantly.
You evil bastard.
Dr. Cha.
Stop me from doing this.
Save me.
No.
I can't do it.
Did you cause
the liquid food accident then as well?
Being a doctor means
you've always got blood on your hands.
And that blood
equates to a person's life,
which they depend on doctors to save.
They plead with us to save them.
The blood, flesh,
and bones we operate on every day
contain the life of a person.
Each life is precious and miraculous.
And after an operation,
you can wipe the blood clean.
But there is a kind of
blood you cannot wash away.
It's why you don't have the right
to wear a doctor's coat again.
You've changed.
You used to tell us that
only surgical skills matter in medicine.
Tae-hyun.
Dr. Ahn. Why couldn't you
trust me a little?
If you had been patient with me…
Operate on me.
It'll be the last chance
you'll get to touch blood.
Whether you choose to save or let me die,
that's up to you.
What are you talking about?
How could you allow Dr. Ahn
to operate on Young-min?
That's outrageous.
Dr. Koh, you know what he did.
I do.
He caused your father's death.
Then how could you?
Young-min is in a coma
because of him, too.
Dr. Cha is still alive
thanks to him though.
During Dr. Cha's tamponade operation,
Dr. Cha entered my body but was
kicked out in the middle of surgery.
I couldn't continue the surgery.
Dr. Cha almost died at that moment.
But Dr. Ahn came and saved him.
That was then.
But now we know his despicable actions.
Do you think he'll save Young-min?
-How can you trust him?
-I don't trust him.
I'm trusting Dr. Cha's wishes.
Not Dr. Ahn.
It's like what you said.
A miracle is 99% heaven's will
and the rest comes from human will.
You witnessed it yourself.
He'll come back to us.
To the way he used to be.
Because Dr. Cha has people to protect
and things he needs to seek.
There you are.
That's my name.
This was a new coat style 20 years ago.
But now it's old-fashioned.
You kept that for all these years?
Of course.
We're born with nothing in this world.
But we inherit things.
It's rare for a person
to be able to leave this world
with their name emblazoned on a coat.
What did you think of me
ever since I joined the hospital?
Why do you ask? You're curious?
You think you'll go back to your old ways
when you wake up?
I've possessed
different doctors over the years.
But there was one doctor
that got my attention.
I admired him for trying to beat the odds
and save patients.
On the other hand, he didn't care
how his patients felt.
At times, I felt he was too obsessed
with his surgical skills.
What's the point of telling you this?
You won't remember a thing…
when you wake up.
Young-min.
When you wake up,
don't forget to become a doctor who cares.
All right?
And be a good surgeon.
Let's not meet again.
Since we're not going to meet again,
I'll tell you something.
Tess wasn't short for Socrates.
It's Hippocrates.
It's an honor for you to see me off.
I can't walk with you to the door.
-You know that, right?
-Of course, I know.
The boundary is around here.
Mine is there.
I wonder if Mr. Ban
will feel less burdened now.
He had to leave in a hurry
in the middle of my operation
because his daughter got in an accident.
When he learned that my operation
didn't go well, he cried so much.
He insisted that the hospital let me stay.
That put him in an awkward situation.
So he's been tiptoeing
around the administration.
Is that so?
I told him not to come and see me off.
Bye.
Give me your autograph later.
I wonder if I'll ever be able to
watch a movie where he stars as the lead.
I might miss my ambulance.
It's the first time I'll be going outside
in two years. I can't wait.
See you around, Dr. Cha.
Wish you luck.
Have a good life.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Goodbye.
Sorry I have to leave you behind.
CARDIOLOGY DEPARTMENT
DR. CHA YOUNG-MIN
Don't disappear before my eyes anymore.
I'll be seeing you in the living world.
As one doctor to another.
Treat me to lunch every day.
No night shifts.
I'm sure you'll do that.
I hope I'll forget all my memories of you.
After you wake up,
I hope you won't be your old self again.
Don't worry. I'll only be mean to you.
Hysterically.
Let's go. It's our last operation.
We need to do it beautifully.
It has to be perfect.
An operation that everyone will remember.
Let's go, Seung-tak.
Choi Hoon-gil. Male, 27.
We'll begin the VP shunt.
The point of entry will be
the abdomen area and Kocher's Point.
Duration is expected to be
between an hour and two hours.
Expected bleeding is 50 to 100.
Is that correct?
-Yes, it's correct.
-Then we'll begin. Scalpel.
I can't perform such a surgery.
How can I do an operation
that even senior doctors can't do?
I'm not asking you to do it.
Then what?
I'll be the lead surgeon.
You'll assist.
We did this procedure last year. Remember?
What if that were to happen?
If my hand shakes
in the middle of the operation
and we get separated.
I'll do my best to hang on.
If that happens, Dr. Ahn will step in.
He can handle this.
Do you think he'll do it?
He'll do it. I know him.
What are they doing?
It's Cha Young-min.
All right. I have no choice then.
I'll have to save these hands of mine.
A doctor not only thinks
about the patient's life
but also has to consider the patient's
life to make the best decision possible.
To protect what is precious
to that person.
I'm a patient and a doctor
at the same time.
I'll do what is best
for this patient as a doctor.
Patient is Cha Young-min. Male, 38.
Suffering from
a narrow right innominate artery.
We will operate on the innominate artery.
It'll require opening the chest.
On the innominate artery itself?
Not a bypass?
This patient is currently infected.
There'll be inflammation.
The tissue is friable,
so we need to be extra cautious,
-Tae-hyun.
-Yes, Doctor.
Shall we begin? Scalpel.
Give me the gauze.
Suction.
-Cut.
-Cut.
Found it.
It's here.
-Focus.
-What are the high-risk areas?
the Ones we have to watch out for.
When you attach the innominate artery
and stitch the native and graft.
If you slice the native,
then you have to go deeper.
Which makes it more complicated and risky.
If we don't succeed in stitching it…
It'll be a failure.
Focus.
We'll suture the graft
to the native vessel.
Prolene 8-0.
No.
I need to stay calm.
Doctor.
Got it.
Suction.
I can't see anything.
Stay calm. Don't panic.
Let's get a visual on it. Catheter. Hurry.
I have to find the suture point.
Fast.
I found it.
Prolene 8-0. Again.
Just a little more.
Please.
Please.
What's wrong with him?
Tae-hyun. Cut.
The surgery is over. Good job.
Dr. Koh, what's wrong?
What's going on?
Seung-tak, you do it.
Finish the surgery.
Are you crazy?
-How can I?
-You just have to suture it.
You can do that.
But still…
You've been practicing.
Space it evenly.
It's time you get some real practice.
You can do this.
You, punk. I'm entrusting myself to you.
I'll be by your side and help.
Are you just going to watch
and not do anything?
Should I let that jerk do it?
Get the wire ready.
Hold the wire near the front
and not the middle.
Good.
Perpendicular to the sternum.
That way, it'll work better.
Keep the space and depth precise.
If you don't do it right,
the patient will get hernia.
Punk.
I haven't gotten married yet.
If I get a keloid, that's on you.
Use the derma lock instead of the stapler.
Keep things clean.
I want a clean look.
Am I doing all right?
Yes, you're doing good.
Why didn't you tell me beforehand?
You caught me off guard.
Punk.
Consider it an honor
that I'm your first patient.
Why do I always have to be honored?
Seung-tak.
Thanks.
From the day we met
to this very moment.
It's over.
It's done.
Right?
Yes, it's done.
His heart rate is stable.
His blood pressure is not falling.
I think the operation is a success.
All right!
-Yes!
-Seung-tak did it!
Seung-tak did it!
He pulled it off!
Dr. Lee, good job. Good job, Dr. Kim.
Great going, Administrative Director.
RESTRICTED ACCESS
He's not here, right?
He's not pranking us, right?
He's disappeared, yes?
Hey, Seung-tak!
Is the operation over?
How did it go? Was it a success?
Intern.
Dr. Cha?
It's over and it went well.
Dr. Cha's spirit vanished.
He completely disappeared.
They actually beat heaven's will.
I'm proud of you.
Dr. Cha told me not to tell you
until you made it.
When you were up for a senior position,
Dr. Cha backed you.
But Director Han refused you.
For both applications.
Dr. Cha called
the administrative director out
for discriminating against you
because you went to a state school.
Each time Mr. Han gave him excuses.
Dr. Cha backed you even harder since then
so that you could get more surgeries
under your belt.
Dr. Cha has a warm side
underneath his cold personality.
What the hell?
Have you gone mad?
How could you betray me like this?
What did I do?
Who betrayed who?
-What?
-I said I'd get blood on my hands.
Which I did.
I said I would end it and I did.
What's wrong with a doctor
performing surgery on a patient?
You better watch it.
Don't worry.
A successful surgery
doesn't always lead to recovery.
He won't remember anything
after he wakes up.
As long as I stay quiet,
we're safe, right?
You're probably the only person
to ever operate on your own body.
Good job, Young-min.
You did great.
He has to wake up this time.
Yes, he will.
Don't worry.
I know you're a good surgeon,
but you can't predict this.
The operation went well but…
I'm 100 percent sure.
Trust these eyes. I've got 20/20 vision.
Vision?
Not your hands?
It'll take several days
until he regains consciousness.
He's been in a coma for months, after all.
He's been stressed a lot,
so he needs rest.
-He's so good-looking.
-I know.
-How can someone look that handsome?
-Is he in a boy band?
-Is he a celebrity?
-I think he is.
-That's why he's so cute.
-He's lovely to look at.
Look at him.
Welcome back to the real world.
You know who I am, right?
No recognition. It happened again.
He's the one who obtained the brain scan
from your past traffic accident.
Thanks to him, we got a breakthrough.
How did he know?
I usually don't say this
to anyone except to myself.
But your looks are on par with mine.
Like a celebrity.
You've been lying in bed for a long time.
You'll experience dizziness.
We'll monitor your condition
while you receive physical therapy.
You mustn't overexert yourself.
You'll have a full recovery
after a few months.
Thank you.
So they don't recognize you.
I'm used to it now. It happens frequently.
Young-min will act the same, I guess.
There's another person
who doesn't recognize me.
Doctor, I'm going to be discharged today.
Thank you for all you've done for me.
Congratulations.
I hope to see you looking
much better in your follow-up.
Sure, Doctor.
By the way, I'm going on a trip next week.
I'm going to take time
to search for myself
and think about my future.
Will you go with your fiance?
You shouldn't.
No, I'm going alone.
I'm reconsidering getting married to him.
That's a good idea.
I would suggest not marrying him.
All right. Have a nice trip.
Don't overexert yourself.
I won't, Doctor.
What happened to the coma patient
you operated on?
He's in Room 708.
I'm so glad he woke up.
He looks strangely familiar.
Have I met him before?
How dare you touch me?
I want a male doctor instead of a woman.
That stung. Gosh.
How dare you touch her like that.
She might be just an intern to you
but she's my precious daughter.
Mom, stop it.
What the hell? Let go of me!
All doctors are equal.
What difference does it make
whether she's male or female?
The patient is drunk. Once he gets sober…
Then treat him after he's sober.
Eat this lunch first.
-What?
-You need to be strong
to handle patients like that.
Drink this tonic and get stronger.
Become a respected doctor
so that patients will seek you out
and beg you to treat them. Understand?
Mom.
And sleep at home no matter what.
That way you can get better sleep.
Getting quality sleep is important.
You said heart surgeons need good stamina.
Mom, I knew you'd respect my decision
and support me.
Thanks, Mom. I'm so grateful.
Have this lunch.
I got up early to pack this big lunch
for you.
I'll eat it all.
I won't leave any leftovers.
-Ma'am.
-Ma'am.
Hi.
I like this a lot.
I made cucumber kimchi, so try that.
You like this.
I like it, too.
They got to her before I did.
When will I get to eat with her?
How come I don't have one picture
taken with him?
Spirits can't be photographed, I guess.
I should've made him write a letter.
What? What is this?
Is it recording?
Young-min, look at me.
Do I look like Seung-tak?
It's me, Young-min.
What? When did he record this?
I'm inside Seung-tak's body
and leaving this message to myself to see.
It'll be hard to believe.
I know.
You'll probably think Seung-tak
is playing a prank.
That's understandable.
Because you don't like Seung-tak.
This is quite awkward.
Remember the burgundy suit you bought
at a tailor's in Gangnam?
You bought it
on a six-month installment plan.
After wearing it once,
you wanted to return it
and told them you never wore it.
But they caught you in a lie.
There was a coffee stain on it.
That's right.
It's an embarrassing incident
that nobody knows about.
Will you believe me now?
It's really me. Young-min.
It's me.
So…
listen carefully to what I'll be saying.
You were in a coma for many months.
Ask Seung-tak how you slipped into a coma.
He's bad at explaining things
but after gleaning the important points,
you'll figure it out.
Now, here's the important part.
You were a coma ghost
wandering around the hospital.
You didn't know if you would live or die.
It might come to you
as a frightening situation.
But it's all right.
When you're a ghost,
there are some positives to it.
You hear a lot of things.
And learn many new things.
However…
you won't remember anything
after you wake up.
So I'm going to tell you what happened.
It was the most difficult
and the most memorable three months
you've experienced in life.
You rekindled a relationship.
And made many promises.
I'll tell you what it was…
that compelled you to return.
There were special people around you.
And events that you can't forget.
I'll tell you about them.
Last but not least,
remember this, Young-min.
Young-min.
Are you awake, Young-min?
Do you recognize me?
Young-min, you're awake.
Young-min, you're back.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Dr. Cha, you're awake?
Is he awake?
You're awake.
I can feel his hand.
Look at this. I'm holding his hand.
You have soft hands.
Well, your hands didn't do any work.
It was mine that performed surgery.
Hey, punk.
What?
Get your hands off me.
And go away.
I'm a complete nobody to him?
Me? How could he?
-Doctor!
-Dr. Cha!
Doctor! We were so worried
that you wouldn't wake up.
-What a relief!
-Are you still weak?
I missed you so much.
You're awake, Doctor.
Are you awake, Doctor?
How are you feeling?
Hey, Sun-ho.
How long have I been in a coma?
Over three months.
Three months, you say?
I heard Dr. Ahn operated on me.
Why isn't he showing up?
He did it as a guest surgeon.
He left afterward.
A guest surgeon?
What are you talking about?
Did he quit? Why?
It's a long story.
By the way…
My patient, Chairman Jang.
How is he doing?
EUNSANG UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
I bought you flowers since the ones here
started wilting. Nice, right?
Your leg muscles are very weak
since you've been lying in bed.
So take it easy for now.
You'll be able to walk after a day or two.
Se-jin, shouldn't you be in Seattle?
I'm sorry about your dad.
I wasn't able to save him.
I know you did your best.
It's not your fault, Young-min.
I heard you're here as a visiting doctor.
Is it because of me?
Why didn't you leave me
like you did before?
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm going to stay by your side.
You and I made a promise together.
You still think
I'm that dumb man you knew
12 years ago, right?
-Young-min.
-What?
Is it because
you've found out what an impressive
doctor I have become?
Or did you think
I'd welcome you back with open arms
no matter when you came?
Go back.
To America or wherever.
To where you belong.
If he can't remember,
I can just tell him everything.
It's not that hard.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to do the squeezing
and change your dressing.
I can do this now.
Hey, Punk.
I asked you twice what you're doing here.
I'm a doctor. Where else would I be?
And you'll soon learn
that I'm an excellent surgeon.
You'll be shocked.
You can't be that good.
I don't trust you. Call Dr. Kim.
I didn't want to show you this
so soon but…
-Hey, what is this?
-I don't know.
This will be awkward to watch.
What is this, Seung-tak?
All right. Got it.
He asked about Chairman Jang's condition
and where Dr. Ahn is.
He has no recollection
of the accident he was in.
He can't remember?
I'm glad to see you back
and recovering, Dr. Cha.
Congratulations.
You didn't have to come to visit me.
Of course, I had to come.
You're our best surgeon.
Do you know I elated I was when I heard
you woke up?
You've probably heard about Chairman Jang.
I'm sorry about that.
I know it'll weigh on you heavily.
But don't blame yourself.
You probably had your reasons
for being away.
You were in a car crash on your way back
to the hospital.
We settled it well with the family.
So don't dwell on it.
Just focus on your recovery.
This might sound too personal.
But I'm so relieved that you
woke up, Dr. Cha.
My chest hurts.
Why did you come empty-handed
if you're so thankful?
You should've brought
that bottle of champagne.
Han Seung-won.
I recall telling you to wait patiently
until I came to you.
I guess you were worried
seeing how you're here so soon.
Did you come to see
if I remembered anything?
And maybe to blame me
for Chairman Jang's death
if I knew too much?
How do you remember all of that?
That's a private matter.
What can you do about it?
Who'll trust someone
who just woke up from a coma?
Of course they won't.
Obviously.
But they'll trust the witness.
I told you before.
The truth will always come out.
If someone privy to your plans is alive.
By the way,
you should be thankful that I'm alive.
That's one less guilty sentence for you.
You'll have a lot of time
on your hands in prison.
So try to reform yourself there.
You'll feel the full brunt of the weight
of a person's life,
which you disregard so blatantly.
Get out. I'm sleepy.
He's scared out of his wits.
-It'll become a habit.
-What is this, Seung-tak?
What is this?
Do you see it?
The space is uneven.
I told you to do it cleanly.
Because I haven't gotten married yet.
That I'd be blaming you if I get a keloid.
And…
what are you still doing here?
I told you to observe surgeries
or be an assisting surgeon
at least once a day.
You're slacking off.
You said it yourself.
That you needed more practice
and real-life experience.
I sacrificed myself
to give you that experience.
So you should be trying harder.
Dr. Cha!
Doctor!
Don't grab me.
You didn't do that before so why now?
I can feel you. You're solid.
I got surgery there. Don't.
Why were you pranking me? How could you?
I told you not to bother the living.
You have to protect them.
Those two have moved the heavens.
What else will they accomplish?
Rules are meant to be broken, after all.
Whoever has the stronger will wins.
The number you have dialed
cannot be reached…
Why isn't he answering?
Yes?
-The police?
-Mr. Ahn Tae-hyun has confessed
to causing the death
of Chairman Jang Gwang-deok.
Under questioning, he said
you hired him to kill the chairman.
That is preposterous.
We have a witness and evidence.
So we need you to come in.
I suggest you come on your own.
If you refuse,
we'll issue an arrest warrant.
What evidence?
Let me have Dr. Cha's position.
When I injected Chairman Jang,
I committed an unspeakable act.
I pulled the trigger.
I got my hands dirty already.
Doing it again
won't make a big difference.
I guess I saved
that position for you all along.
Dr. Cha, I'm at the police station.
I was going to visit you
after you woke up from surgery.
I couldn't bring myself
to enter the hospital.
I felt too guilty, so I left.
I won't be able to
wash away the blood on my hands.
After I serve my sentence, I'll visit you.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Stay healthy.
Thank you for trusting me
and giving me a second chance.
I will keep my promise
by not accepting any money.
I already filed a claim on my share
of the inheritance.
Once I get it, I'll donate it all.
You'll never get your share
of the inheritance.
I'll use every means possible
to block you.
You murdered our dad.
-As his daughter…
-I murdered who?
Murder?
Hey. I didn't kill Dad.
I didn't do anything with these hands.
Let's be honest. He only had
one more year left to live anyway.
Sending him to his grave painlessly
is showing mercy.
And…
you're the one who ended his life support.
Taking away even one day
of a person's life is murder.
Just one day
would have been enough time
for me to call him dad
instead of stating his time of death.
Even if Dad forgave you,
I can't forgive you.
We're the police. Mr. Jang Min-ho.
You're under arrest for hiring a person
to murder Jang Gwang-deok.
A qualified person
will occupy this position.
When your court date is decided,
let me know.
I'll walk with you there.
You have the right to remain silent.
-What the heck? I didn't murder anyone.
-You partially admitted to it
in your conversation with Ms. Jang.
There will be other charges, too.
For embezzlement and fraud
while you were vice president
of the Cheonmyung Group.
You also hired thugs to beat Mr. Koh.
Excuse me. Please continue.
What are these charges about?
Do you have evidence?
Where's the evidence?
Anything you say may be used against you
in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
Let go of me!
What?
You're going to pile on me?
You weren't like this before, cousin.
I stand corrected.
You used to be a sore loser
and get back at people.
Why you!
You beat the kids who bullied me.
And fought the adults
who whispered about
how I caused my dad's death.
Back then
I really liked you.
It's true that I didn't want this
to happen to you.
I was hoping you'd repent
before Dr. Cha woke up from his coma.
But…
it's too late now, isn't it?
I'll welcome you back
no matter how long it takes.
I hope you'll become your old self again.
I'll wait for you to return.
You have broad shoulders I see.
-What are you doing?
-I just can't help touching you.
It's reassuring.
We had no physical connection
the whole time.
-This is nicer.
-Hey, keep your distance.
Get off me.
Be gentle. I have a stake
in your body, you know.
Hey, punk. How dare you touch me
before anyone else does?
You look disappointed, I see.
Is it because I'm not her?
Did I say that?
How long are you going to keep acting
in front of her?
I told you this before.
I'm going to start the relationship
all over again.
My way. It'll be much more romantic
and melodramatic with a touch of comedy.
People in romantic comedies
start as enemies and then fall in love.
There are misunderstandings
and maybe a little chase too.
In a plot twist, they come together
after a big fight.
We already did all of that.
So I was in a romantic comedy?
But where is Dr. Jang anyway?
Is she very busy?
Dr. Jang left for America a few days ago.
-She ended her visiting doctor term.
-What?
You didn't know? I thought you knew.
You told her to go back.
She really went because I said that?
Why didn't you stop her?
Of course, I tried.
I told her to be patient.
But she said she couldn't take it anymore.
She was very hurt.
What did you say to her? Never mind that.
Give me her address in America.
I forgot to ask.
You, punk!
She dumped you I see.
How will you be in a romantic comedy
without a partner?
You can't overexert yourself
after you're discharged, you know.
Especially, no long-distance flights.
Hey. Tell me her email
or social media account.
Hey.
Hey, Seung-tak.
-My chest.
-What?
-Hurry up and tell me.
-Gosh.
-Seung-tak.
-I've been around here too long.
It's time to let them take it over.
Watch over this hospital for me.
Mandu.
Mandu.
I was so worried about you.
You got here before I did.
Are you all right?
You do look healthy. You're fatter.
You left his pet at my home?
Yes. My mom kicked us out,
so your grandpa took care of his pet.
He's been living in the lap of luxury.
The squirrel daddy
and squirrel son are hardy survivors.
Father and son? Who's the dad?
Some guy. The master of rom-coms.
I'm famished. Treat me to lunch.
You're always asking me to buy you lunch.
You're richer than me.
Dr. Oh Soo-jung.
You applied to the cardiology department.
I used to study with these books.
You can have them.
Really?
Thank you, Dr. Lee.
If you need any help,
feel free to ask me anytime.
And if there's anything you need,
you know who to come to.
Do you have Kirklin's Cardiac Surgery
fourth edition?
I have it in my locker.
Do you want it now?
Yes.
Follow me.
Dr. Lee never did anything for anyone
the whole time I knew him.
Why that guy…
I can't believe what he just did.
I'm not having it.
Pretty doctor!
Are you busy, pretty doctor?
I have something to give you.
I'm not busy.
What is it?
Here.
Why are you giving this to me?
Chocolate cake.
I should've given it to you sooner.
I'm quite late, aren't I?
I'm sorry
for making you wait.
And I also want to thank you.
You've made me proud
by having grown into a pretty lady.
My pretty doctor.
Do what you want in life. Be happy.
Have a good life.
Even while I'm far away,
I'll be rooting for you.
And finish eating the cake.
Bye.
CARDIOLOGY DEPARTMENT
DR. OH JOO-MYUNG,
I've worn this for so long.
I'm grateful to see
how that little kid grew to be this big.
It's time to go.
How nice.
She said she'd be by my side
no matter how long it took.
I held her hand so many times.
And gave her hugs.
Why did she give me this ring?
REAL ESTATE LEASE AGREEMENT
Young-min is renting the place, I see.
He saved up a lot of money.
Seems like you didn't spend your money.
If we combine our funds,
we could buy an apartment.
Your home appliances were all nice.
Should we buy some furniture then?
We'll redo the interior.
Let's pick out the wallpapers,
curtains, and blankets.
Together.
Se-jin.
Give me your answer after you wake up.
While looking at me
with your voice.
Whenever that will be.
No matter how long it takes.
I'll be waiting right here.
I'll have to go to America.
Or should I give it some time?
She might be waiting for me.
If I give in now,
then she'll have the upper hand forever.
But I'm the one who misses her.
So I should go.
Isn't that so? What do you think?
Say something.
Yes?
Who could that be?
I'm not expecting anyone.
You didn't change your passcode.
Hi.
Se-jin?
It's so cold outside.
How have you been? Are you feeling better?
You got home safely?
But what are you doing here?
Didn't you go to America?
I just got back.
I had to wrap things up there.
Dr. Koh didn't tell you?
What?
That punk.
My stuff will arrive in a few days.
There's some paperwork to do first
before I can start work.
Your stuff? What are you talking about?
I told you. I'm moving in.
The furniture you have is all right.
The furniture is all new.
But why are you staying here?
Should I stay at a hotel?
What? A hotel?
A hotel is all right? Is it?
I didn't get to eat
after getting off my flight.
What? You haven't eaten anything?
This whole time?
Geez. Really!
Where's the rice?
I missed you every day.
I was running around furiously
to get back sooner.
Don't worry. Even if you don't
take me back, I can still love you.
I'll give you an outpouring of love.
Well, if you find it awkward,
then I'll stay at a hotel.
Here's my answer.
Facing you with my voice.
You're showing up at work already?
Of course.
The hospital can't live without me.
You seem to be tougher than you look.
What does a heart surgeon need
most of all?
I can't wait.
I'm going to have an easy life now.
-Today is the first day.
-Seung-tak, do 100 squat reps.
-Record yourself and send the video.
-Let's start with a cup of coffee.
Seung-tak, you'll join me
in every operation I do.
You'll be on call for the patients.
For dinner, let's have a steak dinner.
Your treat.
Seung-tak, you'll write
all the conference reports
and organize the thesis papers.
Time to pay you back.
I'll be right by your side.
Hysterically.
You'll regret it.
Last but not least…
remember this,
Young-min.
One, two, three.
Dr. Cha.
The patient has a stab injury.
The knife went into his chest.
The knife went through
between rib two and rib three on the left.
Let's stop the bleeding
with a Foley balloon first.
Move the patient
to the operating room now, Seung-tak.
Remember this.
Every life is precious
just as much as yours is.
Scalpel.
-Suction.
-Suction.
Your hands can keep those lives
in this world a bit longer.
These are skilled hands, right? Admit it.
Hey, did you do the surgery? I did it.
You're standing too close to me.
Hey, I'm hungry. Let's have lunch.
And that's your job
on the border between life and death.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING GHOST DOCTOR
