BAEKGYEONG REAL ESTATE
EPISODE 11
[quirky music playing]
[groans] We don't have all day.
The reservation isn't until five.
We still have an hour.
I don't get why
you're looking at places now.
I'd planned to move closer to the hospital
before my fellowship.
It's just, we barely even see each other
at home anymore.
I still see you at work.
You really like me that much, huh?
So? What about it?
[chuckles] I feel the same way.
It's so unlike you to say that.
Do you feel like it's been weird at home,
ever since we started seeing each other?
I don't think so. I feel
totally comfortable with the whole thing.
[scoffs] You never wear
that stretched-out T-shirt anymore,
or sprawl out on the couch
like you used to.
You hide in your room when I'm there.
Despite what my brother wants,
I can't live there forever.
[Yi-young sighs]
Once I have my own place,
we can be alone together.
Really? The two of us?
-To do what?
-[chuckles]
-[chuckles]
-[pleasant music playing]
That's not what I was referring to.
[slams armrest] Sign the contract now,
and move out next week.
Hey, when's the realtor getting here?
How long's he going to keep us waiting?
Gosh.
I wasn't trying to eavesdrop
but nice to meet you.
-[chuckles]
-Hey there.
I'm a client, too. Yeah.
I think the owner's gone to show
a property. He'll be back soon.
Oh, right. Thanks for the info.
[man chuckles]
So, what are you looking for?
Oh, well, a monthly rental,
or a fixed deposit lease.
Oh, then, around 20 pyeong?
-Yes.
-[man] Got it.
-Right.
-[Yi-young chuckles]
Which neighborhood?
-Pyeongbuk-dong.
-Pyeongbuk-dong? Where the hospital is?
-Yes.
-Oh?
[chair sliding]
That whole area is fantastic. [chuckles]
There are so many great places there.
Hard to think of
a better place for newlyweds.
-Actually, we're not newlyweds yet.
-Oh, uh, I'm I'm sorry.
Wow, you two seem so compatible.
You look great together.
[all chuckle]
Anyway, I know that area really well.
Really well.
The Melodium apartment complex.
is a great location.
-The landscaping's cool. It has ACES.
-AC-what?
Apartment complex with elementary school.
It's just perfect for raising children.
Uh, children?
Oh. [chuckles]
Uh, just forget
I said that part. [chuckles]
And maybe it's got good feng shui.
The tenants there have really great lives.
Especially in, uh, apartment 215.
It's south-facing, lots of natural light,
and it's got good ventilation too.
Ooh.
It's also on a great floor.
Twelfth floor, right in the middle.
It's so quiet up there.
The neighbors are really nice folks.
That's not all.
It's cheaper than other units.
[intriguing music playing]
[gulps] Save double.
Huh?
Well, if it's so good,
then why is it cheaper?
Well, I heard the landlord's a nice guy.
And, they're in a hurry.
Interested? Wanna see it?
I can show it right away.
-Are you
-Yeah, I'm the owner. It's my apartment.
Hmm. I figured as much.
I've heard all about these rental schemes.
Oh, no. No, no.
No, I'm not that kind of person.
Uh, I I know this is weird,
and we just met,
but, I'm a victim.
Yeah. I'm a victim of a rental scam.
You have no idea what I've been through.
Seriously, though, my wife was
Your wife was sick?
She was in the hospital and had surgery?
[gasps] How did you know?
Because your story's just like the one
I saw on the news.
Wow.
Ever since I got screwed over,
I can't stand hearing about rentals,
so I maxed out my loans to buy a place.
I'll show you the property registration.
And there are no liens on it, okay?
I'll show you proof of identity,
and I'll take out guarantee insurance.
Wait, wait, hey, wait. Look, hold up.
Look, you've got it all wrong.
I genuinely have a great place for you.
-Please stop it. Or I'll bite your hand.
-Huh? Hey, stop it.
She's not kidding.
We need to go now.
-That's fine, but let me prove I'm legit
-I'm serious, don't try me.
Calm down. Calm down.
Good girl.
[comical music playing, fades]
How dare they call me a scammer?
I look like a nice guy.
[scoffs]
Oh, there you are.
Oh, hello. Sorry I'm late. My bad.
[sighs] No one wants to come see my place.
We really need to move out.
Uh, that part isn't up to me at all.
Come on, the place has been
on the market for three months.
We need to get out of there
before my second kid is born.
Okay, just give it some time.
[whines] Come on, can't you try
and help me out?
-[whines]
-Hey, stop that.
[slurps]
[piano music playing]
It's 'cause we almost got scammed.
It's called panic-eating.
Oh.
When you're panicking, you gotta eat.
It calms you down.
Here, eat up.
All right.
Oh! What's this?
What did you get on your finger?
Oh, come on, you're getting stuff
on your hand. Jeez.
There, all gone.
My ring size is 5.5.
My fingers are smaller than they look.
Can you stop this and just eat your food?
Come on.
[splutters] I have no idea
what you're talking about.
All I did was wipe your finger
because there was something on it.
I know what you're doing.
Buying promise rings.
-[chuckles nervously] What? No, I don't
-Why are you trying to measure my finger?
Um, can you pretend
you didn't see anything?
Oh, I have something for you.
-Ta-da.
-What is this?
Whoa! These are nice.
-How'd you know my shoe size?
-I could just tell by looking.
Huh? How?
We share a closet at home.
Ah. That's right.
-Try them on.
-Yeah.
-Wait, what?
-[laughing]
-[thudding]
-[woman 1] Dad.
-[woman 2] Honey?
-[man choking]
-What's wrong with him?
-Dad!
Can somebody help us? Please?
[tense music playing]
-Honey!
-[man choking]
[Do-won] Is something stuck
in your throat?
-[women] Meat.
-He was eating and all of a sudden
-[chokes]
-[Yi-young] What's going on?
Oh, gosh.
-[Yi-young] Call 119!
-Lay him down!
[woman 2 whimpers]
Sir, can you hear me? Can you hear me?
You hear me, sir?
Sure.
-Secure the airway.
-All right.
[pants]
The ambulance is coming.
-Pass me a spoon?
-[waiter] A spoon.
[tense music continues]
[pants]
-[man gasps softly]
-Stop, he's breathing.
ROSC achieved.
Sir, hello? Can you hear me?
-[people sigh in relief]
-[man 2] Thank goodness.
The ambulance is coming
to take you to the hospital.
-You're gonna be fine. No need to worry.
-[siren wails]
Oh, it's here!
Here! In here!
[woman 2] Honey, are you okay?
Oh, thank you.
Over here, over here.
[people chattering]
-[woman 3] Thank God there was a doctor.
-[woman 4] Oh, the ambulance is here.

RESIDENT PLAYBOOK
JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
[yawning]
[light-hearted music playing]
I told you to sleep an extra hour.
We can't see each other this week,
so let's at least go in together.
You have time for coffee, right?
A coffee date at 5:15?
You
-You, uh, washed your face?
-Of course not.
-I'll do it upstairs.
-Mm. Let me see.
-You're so cute.
-[chuckles playfully]
[woman] Hello, excuse me?
[footsteps approaching]
Yes?
Oh, could you tell me what floor
the outpatient clinic's on?
Oh, uh
It's on the second floor.
You can take these elevators right here.
Oh, okay. Thanks so much.
[dramatic music builds]
I'm Lee Chae-ryeong, the new
delivery room nurse. Today's my first day.
Nice to meet you all.
-Yay!
-[all chuckle]
Nice to meet you, and welcome.
Oh, if you have any questions,
you can always ask any of our R1s here.
Right. Feel free to ask anything.
Like, about the hospital layout,
or anyone's names
-I'll tell you everything I know.
-I appreciate that.
I arrived early to look around, and I
could tell it's easy to get lost in here.
Oh, how early did you come into work?
You're pretty diligent, aren't you?
[chuckles] I certainly try.
I'll do my best.
Thanks for the warm greeting.
Let's grab a bite to eat
sometime really soon.
-[chuckles]
-See you later.
-Nice to meet you.
-Let's have lunch later.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
It's really nice
running into you again, Doctor.
Yeah, you too.
Don't worry about earlier.
Keep it under wraps?
Yes, for the time being.
Got it.
One more thing. I was so startled earlier
that I didn't get to say thanks
I hear we have a new nurse. [gasps]
[sighs]
Pleased to meet you.
I'm Lee Chae-ryeong. I'm the new nurse.
[whimsical music playing]
Oh, right.
Welcome to the hospital.
Oh. Coffees.
Oh, great. Thank you.
I'll Yep.
See you later.
Morning, Doctor.
Hey.
'Sup? Where to?
-I heard there's a new nurse today.
-The nurses' station. Go say hi. Mm.
-Will do. Where are you headed?
-Outpatient.
[smugly] Oh.
You are?
Going alone?
-Yeah, who would I go with?
-You tell me.
Well, it's just that recently,
you seem to be going there all the time,
so I'm just wondering
what's going on over there.
What are you implying?
Doctor, no need to worry.
I'm beyond loyal.
In fact, I pride myself on it.
[giggles]
What the heck?
[whimsical music continues]
No way.
[Eun-mi] You hear what happened
to Professor Seo?
Apparently, this intern
wouldn't shake her hand.
She was snubbed.
-Oh, you mean Tak Gi-on?
-Mm-hmm.
I think all the good ones
already picked their departments.
And Dong-eun's off the table.
Tak Gi-on's literally our last hope
at this point.
Oh, I don't think he has any interest
in OB-GYN.
I'm not sure he's
that great at the job, to be honest.
I heard otherwise.
Apparently, at a team dinner,
Professor Geum said
how impressed she was that
an intern's better than the R1s.
Not necessarily better, but
just
good at his job, I think it was.
-What'd she say?
-[chuckles awkwardly]
Right.
Hey, actually,
what happens
if no one joins OB-GYN next year?
What do you think? It'll be over.
You've seen Pediatrics?
That could easily be us.
You'll have double the work, and you'll
always have to pull all-nighters.
Year two will be absolute hell on earth.
So, without R1s,
it's the R2s' job to take over their work?
Exactly.
Are you serious? That's completely unfair!
So that's the reason why
Tak Gi-on is an important addition.
Let's lure him in. Hmm?
[sighs]
[cell phone ringing]
INTERN TAK GI-ON
[sighs]
Yeah.
I'll win him over.
[cell phone ringing]
Hey, Dr. Tak.
-[Gi-on] How's that feel?
-It's okay.
How about here?
-It's a bit
-[Nam-kyung] Hi. Coming in.
-Is this the patient with menstrual pain?
-Yes.
Ah. Hello there.
It hurts pretty bad right now?
[patient] Yes.
She's been taking painkillers
since yesterday afternoon,
but she says it's gotten worse.
Mm.
Uh, she has bad stomach cramps,
but not like when you have diarrhea,
and unlike epigastric pain,
nothing in her upper abdomen.
Also, there's a feeling
of the bottom falling out,
but not like an impact injury.
Ah. Okay.
Ma'am, is there a painful twisting
in your lower belly,
to the point your insides feel like
they're being squeezed really tight?
Yes, that's right, Doctor.
And the pain,
it's radiating in every which direction,
it makes it very hard to sit still
or move around?
Uh-huh.
I'm in so much pain right now,
that it's impossible to function at all.
I know how that feels. I get that too.
Is your flow heavier than usual
or anything like that?
Um, I would say it's definitely a lot
heavier, 'cause I've bled through clothes.
I've had to use overnight pads
from the first day.
Oh.
Um, we should do an ultrasound, since it
could be endometriosis, or adenomyosis.
Okay.
[Nam-kyung clears throat]
[typing]
It's just period cramps,
so I've prescribed her painkillers.
She can rest a while.
Then we'll send her on her way.
Right. Thank you, Dr. Pyo.
Mm, you know, even female doctors
don't really understand the pain
unless they experience it too.
Some even tell patients period cramps
aren't that big a deal,
and they shouldn't come to the hospital.
Male doctors, on the other hand,
act like they know how painful they are,
and how bad it must be for the patient
to come to the ER early in the morning.
And that they understand
how terrible it must be
to endure it every month.
Oh.
I sometimes think
a person who actually
hasn't experienced periods,
can be more understanding and empathetic.
[gentle music playing]
Maybe that's why, in our department,
the male doctors are much more popular.
It's why, out of all of us,
Jae-il's the favorite of the patients.
And Professor Ryu Jae-hui,
he's the superstar of Yulje.
With that said,
um, don't feel like you need
to rule out OB-GYN
just because you happen to be a guy.
-Doctor.
-Yes?
I wasn't thinking about it that way.
I really don't mind that part.
I'm just not interested in this area.
-Oh. You're not?
-[whimsical music playing]
Thank you for your help.
Oh. See ya.
Gosh, why did I even say all that?
-[sighs]
-[music fades]
Oh, goodness.
I'm sorry. I'm still just an R1.
[beeps]
The EBW is 3,200.
The amniotic fluid volume's good.
And the umbilical artery doppler
looks fine.
Don't forget, we're supposed to do
the targeted fetal neurosonography.
[Yi-young clears throat]
[sighs] This is taking so long.
I don't really have much experience
with this.
Could you just give me
a bit more time? I'm sorry.
Hey, um
[beeping]
[beeping continues]
That square shape there is the CSP.
Measurements should be taken
from the plane where it's clearly visible.
Right. I know that part already.
You should be taking the measurement
when the atrium of the lateral ventricle
is seen at its largest,
and the borders are clear.
Oh.
Try again without shifting the angle.
Okay, I will.
Hey, Oh Yi-young.
I noticed you're not getting any faster
at reading ultrasounds.
ULTRASOUND ROOM 5
You were even worse
than you were last week.
I'm sorry, Professor.
When you're in the third trimester,
like patient Geum Sae-byeok happens to be,
even lying down
and getting into position is hard.
Accuracy and speed really matter. Okay?
Yes, I understand.
I'll do better.
To be fair, finding the correct angle
is harder than you think.
You need to find it as soon as you place
the transducer on the belly,
and that takes a lot of practice,
you know?
Let's give it another go tomorrow. The aim
is to get it done in three minutes.
-Tomorrow?
-What? You should.
I'm using my body to teach you.
Are you really gonna say no?
No, I'm not.
-I'd love to.
-Great!
-[chuckles]
-See you tomorrow.
See you.
[groans]
ULTRASOUND ROOM 5
-[sighs]
-[cell phone ringing]
What is it?
Don't start without me. I'm coming down.
Hey, you told us you'd be here right away.
Oh, I'm so hungry I could just pass out.
Didn't you finish ultrasounds a while ago?
Yep, that's right, but then
Did you know
there's a Seo Jung-min junior?
Yeah. Her girl's in middle school,
and her son is nine.
Mm-mm, not that kind of junior. You're
talking about Professor Geum, right?
Yeah. Her due date's next week,
and she's tense. Worse than Seo Jung-min.
She's a first-year teacher,
so she's full of enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm or diligence,
sometimes it's just too much.
You gotta know when to stop.
Exactly. I have no desire to learn,
so stop lecturing me.
[sighs] Just your luck, then, huh?
How'd you end up treating a professor?
Your superior's your teacher
and patient all-in-one.
Whoa, imagine messing up her sutures.
You'll be paying for it
for four years. [tuts]
[groans] Just my luck.
[sighs] I really don't envy you,
Oh Yi-young.
Hmm. Hey, this is really tasty.
It was even better the last time.
You've had this before?
-Yes, with Um Jae-il.
-Alone?
Wait, why? Where'd you go?
[gasps] Has Um Jae-il said he likes you?
-Are you guys dating?
-Ugh, not this again.
It wasn't like that. You were arguing,
he said we should leave you alone,
so we ate in outpatient.
[intriguing music playing]
[Nam-kyung] Whatever, even so.
Why would you go there at night?
You're not lovers.
-There's no one there at night.
-There was. Lots of people were there.
-Jae-il saw them.
-He saw them?
Who'd he see?
I don't know. I didn't ask.
Where's Um Jae-il now?
He said he'd nap after surgery.
He hasn't slept.

[Jae-il gasps, yelps]
Help! Help!
Can anyone hear me?
[pants]
[groaning softly]
[quirky music playing]
[straining] Please help me.
Come on. [straining]
You know how sometimes
patients feel numbness,
or even paralysis in their leg
after a laparoscopy?
They're not kidding. Even now,
there's no sensation.
You've had breakfast, coffee,
and you've been to the store.
You're all set. Can I go now?
Hang on.
Uh
Can I have my coat?
[sighs]
[sighs]
[soft music playing]
Thank you.
Hey.
That pen.
You good now? I'm going.
Kim Sa-bi, when will you be back?
Lunchtime?
Or if not, then after the surgery at 4:00?
-I won't be back.
-Then how am I gonna eat?
You'll figure it out.
I'm not gonna eat anything today.
I haven't really figured this out yet.
-How'll I go to the cafeteria alone?
-The patients seem to manage fine.
[whimpering] Come on!
All right, fine.
I'll just call you after my surgery.
Please come. I'll be waiting.
Fine, I'll come.
Ugh, Um Jae-il,
you give me a headache! [tsks]
See you later.
[chuckles]
[gasps] Oh, you scared me. [sighs]
Oh, Gu Yun-ja, is she next?
-Yes.
-Mm.
You seem very cheerful today,
but I can't imagine why.
-Not much to be happy about.
-I'm not.
I'm just
in so much pain and so embarrassed,
I can barely hold my head up.
[chuckles nervously] We should go.
How on earth did you manage
to injure yourself in a place like this?
[chuckles] Don't worry about me.
I'll be fine in no time.
Oh, long-term chemo
can cause some peeling,
especially on the hands and feet.
-I'll prescribe a topical cream for it.
-Thank you.
Another thing, about the chemo patients,
the ones who share this room with me.
Um
Oh, maybe they couldn't make it today.
Oh! They said they were actually
gonna switch hospitals, didn't they?
[chuckles]
You're such a terrible liar.
I heard they've all gone.
Yes. I guess you've heard.
Suk-ja, who was in that bed over there,
passed last month.
And Geun-yeong from Namyangju
also passed away after having chemo.
Yes.
She went into sepsis afterward.
The last time I saw her, she was smiling
brightly and waving at me energetically.
That is how I knew she'd go.
But with you, the tumor has
already shrunken significantly.
-I think this drug is working well.
-[sniffles] Is that the truth?
[crying] You're not just lying to me
to make me feel better?
Absolutely not.
I would never lie to you about
[woman] You're lethargic
because you're not eating.
[patient] This body's gonna rot
once I die, anyway.
So why do you keep trying to make me eat?
[sniffles] They're at
each other's throats again.
You should see them.
Who'll talk sense to them,
if not the doctor?
Right.
[woman] You need to eat to build up
strength for your chemo treatment.
My body doesn't want to eat.
I can't force myself because you tell me.
-Oh, goodness.
-Hello there.
Can you tell me what's going on?
She was getting better
but made things worse.
She still isn't eating.
I told you to leave me alone,
just let me die.
You've been saying that for a decade now.
If you're that desperate, then go.
Just go ahead and die already.
That way I don't have to keep
taking care of you. Thank gosh!
All right, ma'am, are you unable to eat?
[woman] She hasn't eaten anything
since yesterday.
They've told her over and over.
I've told her too, but she won't listen.
It's true, ma'am.
You need to eat normally.
We've switched you to porridge
because you had trouble with solids.
You need to try
to build strength for chemo,
so you can do it, and then go home.
Yes, that's true, I do need to go home.
Seong-chan, don't worry so much
about your mother.
I feel awful you came all the way
over here, lugging that heavy thing.
-Your studies must be hard as is.
-[chuckles softly]
[woman clicks tongue]
Ah, there you go again.
You broke down in tears yesterday, calling
him "Father," and now he's your son?
Mm.
The real Seong-chan
died over ten years ago, remember?
He used to take care of you before I did.
Did you forget?
You witch.
How can you say that
in front of Seong-Chan?
What a thing for a 50-year-old to say
in front of her own nephew.
Mi-ja, I'm well past 70 years old now.
Okay?
My word, this old lady has lost
her gosh darn mind! [groans]
[sighs]
Seong-chan, you do know why
your aunt's acting like this, don't you?
-She's a little
-[Jae-il chuckles]
-Yes, I know.
-Mm.
You must eat all your food today.
Mother.
[Jae-il chuckles]
[sentimental music playing]
[inhales sharply]
[sighs]
[groans]
Thank you for helping
with the surgery, Professor.
I had some cramps today.
I think I might've overdone it yesterday.
All I did was the fundal part, though.
-How about you? You okay?
-Of course.
I don't think she is.
She's been in pain since this morning,
and her complexion's off.
I think she's in true labor now,
but she's insisting it's false labor
to keep working.
Whoa, Oh Yi-young,
putting your foot down as her attending?
Yes. An attending whom
she won't listen to.
Now, Dr. Oh Yi-Young, remember what
I taught you in that study session?
False labor contractions can be regular,
much like true labor.
However, if they're gradually dissipating,
it must be false labor. Okay?
Okay.
Are you saying that
so you can keep working?
Yes. I have so many things
I have to wrap up here.
My due date's next Wednesday.
Gosh, I'm not sure
I'll finish everything by then.
The way you're acting right now
is precisely why every single person
who meets us
thinks we're sisters.
Are you serious?
-Oh, that's such a great compliment!
-[Jung-min scoffs]
Mm, you guys don't need
to worry about me at all. Okay?
Do you know how many deliveries
I've performed by now? Hmm?
"Oh, the cervix will open soon."
"Mm, if she starts pushing,
the baby'll be out in ten."
I can always tell. Seriously.
I've done vaginal delivery training.
Delivering a baby as the doctor,
isn't the same as giving birth.
In that case, come next week
and find out for yourself.
I'm gonna try to deliver my own baby.
All you'll have to do is cut the cord.
Yeah, point taken, so relax a bit.
Okay. [laughs]
Otherwise, your water'll break in the OR,
and they'll drag you to the delivery room.
Who would have the guts to drag her?
Who do you think?
You've been with her this entire time.
You're just too cool.
-We're totally sisters.
-[Jung-min] Call me if it gets too much.
-I will.
-Good job today!
See you later.
-[Sae-byeok sighs]
-Thank you, Professor.
Oh. [gasps]
Oh, are you okay?
-[pants]
-Should I call back the professor?
No, no, no. [pants]
Mm, mm, it feels like
the due date could be a little earlier.
Maybe up a day or two?
You can actually tell?
Of course. After this long on the job,
it's clear as day.
-[cell phone ringing]
-Ah, that hurts.
Yes, Professor?
Her BP? All of a sudden? And the baby?
Oh.
Oh, there isn't?
Right, I'll be right there.
-So, a surgery's come up.
-Another?
-Won't that be too much for you?
-No, I'm only assisting. I'll be fine.
I see. Okay.
I'll see you later.
Where are you going?
To have some lunch.
[whines] They said
there's no second assistant,
so I told them I would bring you.
Me?
-I'm coming?
-Mm-hmm. Shall we go? We better hurry.
-Uh
-Oh, my back.
It's all right.
Everything's fine.
Thanks.
[whimsical music playing]
[sniffles]
[typing]
[music fades]
[sniffles]
Oh.
-You're filling out a death certificate.
-[sniffles]
-Yes.
-Mm.
Hey, listen, I wanna tell you something.
Do you know why I joined OB-GYN?
I wanted to fill out birth certificates.
Oh.
And, also, the only place where
people are happy and relieved
is here in OB-GYN, Dr. Tak.
The point I'm trying to make,
is that here with us,
only good things occur.
-Doctor.
-Yes?
[sniffles] This death certificate
is the fourth one
I've had to fill out so far.
Oh. [whines sympathetically]
And two of those were in Gynecology.
[intriguing music playing]
Oh, really?
One had terminal cancer,
and they didn't even get to do much chemo,
and the other was my age
and had recurrent ovarian cancer.
With that one
I really couldn't hold it in, you know?
Uh, um
So that was also in Gynecology.
[sniffles]
I need to go see a patient.
-Oh.
-See you later.
See ya. Bye.
Later.
[sighs] He's a lot smarter than I thought.
[music fades]
Hey, I thought sisters
were usually good friends.
I have a brother.
You'll have to ask Oh Yi-young about that.
The elderly woman over in Room 1014,
she's always lived with her sister.
Wow, those two can fight.
-[yawns]
-Constantly at each other's throats.
I think the younger sister is exhausted
from years of caretaking.
Every single thing annoys her now. [tsks]
They say long-term illness breaks
everyone. It's just sad to see.
You'll manage from here, right?
I gotta get going.
Can you take me to the ward?
I've been doing this all day.
And my arms are worn out.
[sighs]
[gentle music playing]
You know, I looked into it.
A pinched nerve like that
should resolve in a couple of hours.
No, that's a lie! My leg's paralyzed.
So I was thinking
wanna leave together today?
I've got some reading to do.
Okay! I'll do that with you.
We'll both read.
Oh, actually, I need to watch
some surgery videos.
Oh! I was gonna watch some too.
Can I join you?
Hey, do you
[splashing]
Ow, God! That's hot! [yelping]
PFT LAB, ALLERGY LAB, BRONCHIAL LAB
Oh. I'm better.
[comical music playing]
Wow.
Hey, look at this.
How'd it fix itself? It's crazy!
Oh.
Oh, I gotta get to the ward now.
I I'm late. Um
Can you take care of that? Bye.
[pants]
[footsteps running]
Does he have a crush on me?
No, this isn't a bad spot,
it's close to the door.
[woman] That's the worst spot in the room!
Hello. Hello, there.
Something wrong?
Look, Doctor, why are you moving us
close to the door?
-Oh.
-I tried to explain.
Oh, you see,
the head board and call button
aren't working, so,
facilities thought it'd be best to have
you change beds while they're fixing it.
Why can't we just stay in it?
[sighs] I'd rather not move.
Apart from the fact that
it's not by the window,
this bed's actually a better spot.
It's close to the restrooms
and quicker for us to get to.
It might be quicker for you all,
but I take care of her.
I have a bad back.
How on earth am I gonna move her?
I'll be right here with you to help out.
'Cause my leg's all better now.
This has never happened in all the years
we've been in and out of hospitals.
Doctor, I'd prefer to stay here
Mi-yeong, seriously,
why do you have to be so difficult?
Why can't you just listen to him
and do as you're told?
Has your brother-in-law ever asked you
to do anything harmful?
How many times must I tell you?
This is my husband. He's the head
of the family now since Father is gone.
The head of the family?
That drunkard who bankrupted all of us?
Don't tell me that
you actually miss that jerk.
Honey, I'm really so sorry about this.
I should've married her off
and gotten rid of her long ago.
But what can I do?
She's the only blood relative I have.
[sighs]
Please try to be understanding, honey.
I'll have a firm word with her.
It's fine.
My dear
wife.
[Mi-ja] Oh, thank you, honey.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Take this. And this.
-I think that's enough.
-This too.
[uplifting music playing]
Oh, and this.
-You're gonna eat all this?
-Yeah.
[sizzling]
[exclaims softly]
[sizzling]
Huh? What?
[sighs] I'm not really good at barbecuing.
Don't worry,
there's no way you can mess this up.
-Mm!
-Mm.
Do-won said he'd come. He's not answering.
He had to go into surgery.
He's on call today
with back-to-back surgeries.
Oh, right, he didn't even have lunch
today, and he's skipping dinner.
What?
Since when do you care
if Do-won eats or not?
I know. It's weird.
And you remember last weekend,
she insisted on taking
his socks and underwear to him too.
[dramatic music playing]
Don't tell me
[Joo-young] Did
Did you borrow money from him?
Was it for that jacket you're wearing?
Ah.
I didn't borrow anything.
I already had this jacket.
Tell me the truth.
How much did you borrow?
-Seriously, you're such a little
-I'll leave your beers here.
Great. Thank you.
-Start talking.
-I didn't borrow.
-Now just drop it and drink your beer.
-Yi-young.
If you're lying,
you're gonna regret the day you were born.
[beer bottle hisses open]
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
Gosh, how long's it been
since you had beer?
[sighs] It's been about half a year.
I've decided to pause IVF,
so I'm gonna enjoy more than one tonight.
[laughs]
[Joo-young sighs]
Whoa! I needed that.
[gasps] Mm. I'm so happy now.
How could you go so long without drinking?
Because of my treatments.
If I got pregnant,
I could live without a drink.
And since I can't,
I might as well enjoy this.
Man, we're gonna need another.
Excuse me, could we have another
-Oh, I'm so sorry.
-[grunts]
-Are you all right?
-No, I'm sorry.
Huh? Oh Yi-young?
What are you doing here?
Eating. And you?
Me? Well, I
-Oh, nice to meet you all.
-Hello there.
I'm Oh Yi-young's friend from work,
Pyo Nam-kyung. Nice to meet you.
-[gasps] Really? You're her friend?
-[Seung-won chuckles]
We're not friends. See you later.
Oh, hot! [winces]
[pants]
[Yi-young] Don't bring up Do-won, got it?
[whimsical music playing]
Oh, I really hope that I'm not barging in
on a family dinner?
But you are.
So, I was supposed to be meeting
a friend here tonight,
but they told me they couldn't make it.
I didn't really wanna eat here alone,
so I was just on my way out,
then I saw you.
So, thank you so much.
Oh, no need to thank us.
This is the first time I've eaten
with a friend of Yi-young's. It's so nice.
We're not friends.
Hey, Yi-young and I
went to high school together.
And then we wound up at the same hospital.
Isn't that crazy?
Wow, you two were meant to be friends!
Gosh, I hope that you
stay close with Yi-young here.
[sighs] She's a real troublemaker,
so I'm always worried about her.
So, tell us, how is she at work?
Ah. Lately, Yi-young's been
-[light thud]
-Don't answer.
She's been getting praised
for how accurate her pelvic exams are.
[both gasp]
And she reads ultrasounds
faster than any of the R1s.
Mm! Is that true?
Absolutely, yeah. But she can never seem
to bite her tongue.
If you ask her to do something
she doesn't wanna do, she makes this face.
So she's good at the work,
but lacks social skills.
I'd say that's where she's
kind of at right now. [chuckles]
Well, good. I thought
she'd be bad at both.
So that's great. [chuckles]
Yi-young, nice work.
Gosh, she's exceeded my expectations.
[sighs]
Please keep an eye on her.
If she gets fired again,
she really has nowhere to go.
Oh, of course.
I'll keep a close eye on her.
Please don't worry, Joo-young unni.
Ooh!
Joo-young "unni"? You just met her. Yuck.
Thanks. Oh. Have some more.
Oh. Thank you, I will.
-"Unni."
-[both chuckle]
-Isn't she great?
-[both chuckle]
-[Joo-young] I'm so glad you joined us.
-[Nam-kyung] Huh?
Wait a sec.
You look really similar
to this one person I know.
Don't you think he does?
Like who? No idea.
You know, the guy
His eyes and mouth
are practically identical.
[gasps] Oh, gosh, uh, who is it? Um
um
Oh!
Professor Jo Joon-mo!
Wow, if no one said otherwise,
you'd think they were brothers.
-[gasps, chuckles]
-You really look so much like him.
-He must be very good-looking as well.
-[chuckles]
They don't look similar.
-We're done, you should go.
-Oh, really? I'll bring some back.
-No, we should really go.
-Let's have one more plate, huh?
You've finished your meal.
Don't you have work?
-What's wrong with you?
-I only need ten minutes.
-Ten minutes? No! Put that down.
-[both chuckle]
-Fine, eat.
-Okay, thanks.
JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
Um Jae-il.
-Huh? [hesitates] Oh, morning.
-Aren't you getting coffee?
No, I was just passing by.
Oh. Oh, right. I have something to say.
Oh. So the
Dr. Kim's gonna start
sending out wedding favors.
It's food, so she's sending them
to our homes.
Can you get the professors' addresses?
I can get the fellows' and the residents'.
Mm, I'll do that.
And, also
And what?
I looked into it.
Sudden leg paralysis
doesn't have lasting effects.
Oh, it was really
hurting yesterday.
But [chuckling] wow,
it's totally fine today.
It didn't seem to hurt yesterday. You said
it was numb and couldn't bear weight,
but then you jumped up and ran off.
I didn't exactly run off, though.
-You ran.
-I walked off. Slowly.
No, I tried to follow you with
the wheelchair, but you were too fast.
Ugh, how is your memory so good?
Well, I don't know why I did that.
Can't you just let the whole thing go?
Why do you have to make things awkward?
I'm just worried about whether or not
you really hurt it.
[soft music playing]
-Worried?
-Yes.
But I'm annoying you.
Oh
You were worried? Huh?
This whole time?
Doctor
Professor Geum's baby
[tense music playing]
[music fades]
-There you are.
-Oh, hello.
[sighs] Really, Professor?
You should've called me.
I would've helped you.
I just went to the bathroom.
Think I can't put on an NST on my own?
I could do this in my sleep.
[machine warbling]
The monitor light went off.
Sorry in advance.
I'm just glad that you're okay.
[pants]
BEWARE OF FALLING, SLIPPING
[beeping]
How are your contractions?
About the same as when I was admitted.
They're pretty regular,
every five to seven minutes or so.
BEWARE OF FALLING, SLIPPING
[groans]
[groans, winces]
You in pain? Where do you feel it?
[grunts, pants]
-Do you want the epidural now?
-Not right now.
[breathes deeply]
-Do another pelvic. We'll decide then.
-Okay.
[rail clangs]
-[winces]
-So sorry.
[exhales] I'm still at 2.0, right?
Yes, 2.0 in the pelvic,
and the station's high.
It's been two hours since I got here,
there's no change
in contractions or dilation.
Let's wait before starting the epidural.
Yes, but you're in a lot of pain.
Would you like medication?
[exhales] I should hold off
to keep progressing.
Let's do another pelvic exam
in about three hours,
and then we can make a final decision
about the oxytocin.
All right.
-If the pain becomes unbearable, call me.
-I'll be fine.
I'd rather you spend this time
checking on patients.
Oh, Miss Joo Ha-na who's on POD-two,
her CBC's back.
Take a look and let me know?
Uh, I didn't get the chance
because I was admitted.
You're seriously worrying about
other patients right now?
Why not?
It's just, you're not in a place to
[sighs] I guess
I've gotta do it myself then.
-Can you take this off?
-Professor, no.
I'll do it. Don't worry.
-I'll go check on your patients for you.
-Oh, you will? Okay.
Thank you, Dr. Oh. I'll see you in a bit.
-See you later.
-[rail clangs]
[gasps] Mi-ja!
Hey, stop eating so much, all right?
Why do you suddenly have
an appetite right now?
[gasps]
Make up your mind.
First, you're on my case for not eating,
now you're on my case for eating too much?
Hey, I'm just worried
you'll get indigestion.
I'm sure they'll give me medicine
for that.
How about a walk later, after I finish up?
-[door opens]
-Go on a walk?
-You have the energy for that?
-Of course I do.
Hello, ladies.
-Mm.
-[sighs]
-Hello, Doctor.
-I'm collecting your consent form.
You've finished your lunch.
What's going on? You seem happy.
-Did you get some good news?
-[Jae-il chuckles]
I guess I'm back to Um Jae-il today,
then? [chuckles]
Why is she acting this way
all of a sudden?
She's eating again,
and she's coming back to her senses.
And she even wants to exercise later.
What's going on?
Oh, it's because her condition's improved,
because of that albumin infusion.
Her labs are looking good.
Just yesterday,
she was saying she wanted to die.
So why's she suddenly full of energy now?
This can't be a good thing.
But, it is a good thing.
May I ask why you're upset by this, ma'am?
It's just that I heard
Never mind.
Now that she's feeling better,
she'll be able to tolerate treatment,
and she'll recover quicker.
Why'd you come here then?
Ah. We'll be starting her chemo soon,
and as I mentioned before,
we're switching to a new drug,
so I'll need you to sign
new paperwork again.
-Want me to go over it?
-No. I already know everything.
[Jae-il] Here.
CONSENT FOR CHEMOTHERAPY
I've heard the speech
a thousand times before.
Thank you.
She's just arrived in the ER.
She's not a regular patient here.
She has ROM and contractions,
but they're pretty mild.
-Right. So it's not super urgent.
-No.
-Ah! Tak Gi-on's here?
-He is.
We need to stay calm and collected, okay?
We gotta stay relaxed,
and act like it's all no big deal.
-All right.
-Don't forget, Gi-on's watching us.
Got it. He's watching.
Shall we go?
RESTRICTED AREA
[Nam-kyung] Coming in. Hello.
[Eun-mi] Lift your legs, ma'am.
Ma'am, I'm just gonna check and see
if your amniotic fluid is leaking.
This may be a little uncomfortable.
You must've been so worried. But you're
in good hands, so you can relax now.
I'm sure you and your baby will be fine.
I've hooked up the IV
and also sent out her lab tests.
The patient would like to return
to her hospital back home
[Eun-mi] No, she can't go.
She has to stay. We have cord prolapse!
-It looks like the cord's slipped through!
-What?
-Call the professor! Tell her it's urgent.
-We have a cord prolapse!
We gotta transfer her
to the OR right away! Get a porter.
-Huh?
-Call for a transporter right now!
Oh, okay.
[Eun-mi] Ma'am,
the umbilical cord's slipped through,
so you need to have surgery right now!
Porter, come to the ER right now?
Uh, Anesthesia? We're bringing a patient.
It's an emergency! Do you think we like it
any more than you do?
Hello, Pediatrics? We need to deliver now.
Well, why don't you get your ass up here?
Hurry! Get up here!
Don't stand there. Find her emergency
contact and get the consent form!
-Yep.
-Ma'am, are you all right?
-Ma'am, hang in there. Everything's okay.
-[Eun-mi] You'll be okay.
[pained groaning]
You're five centimeters dilated.
Cervix hasn't changed for two hours,
station is still at zero.
Mm.
I've started oxytocin at 15,
as you prescribed.
-[groaning]
-Are you okay?
I'm okay.
[pants] Dr. Oh, uh, remember my request
Huh?
I wanted the interns
to observe the delivery.
I know. I won't forget.
Make sure [groans]
to get the interns who haven't seen one.
Yes, yes, just leave that all up to me.
Hey, wait. Set it up so that they can all
see everything up close.
That's not important right now.
I want them to see
right from the first incision, all right?
-Professor, please!
-[pants]
I also have a request for you, too.
It's important.
I would like for you to only focus
on your labor today.
What? [groans]
What'd you say? [panting]
Mm-hmm. We'll talk after.
[pained groaning, panting]
Oh, God, you're such a [groans, pants]
Hello, ma'am. We're gonna start chemo now.
Right now?
Ah, she's sleeping.
In that case,
I'll come back in a little while.
I'll be back in about half an hour,
and then we'll get started.
Wait.
Why does it look like that, huh?
-Why is that thing red?
-Huh?
[breathing heavily]
Hey, you can't do this! You can't!
[crying] You can't give her the red one!
Don't give her that.
Give her the colorless one!
Her usual one!
Listen, Doctor,
you can't give her that! [crying]
Well, this is the drug
I told you about last time.
Unni. [crying] Unni!
Oh, Mi-ja! No!
[crying]
You said you wouldn't die!
You said you would stay with me longer!
I don't have any parents or a husband.
If you leave me too [cries]
then I'll be all alone!
[sobbing]
Unni, I'll be an orphan!
-[sobbing]
-[melancholy music playing]
Don't leave me by myself, okay?
I don't want you to die, please!
[sobbing]
Don't die, unni!
Unni?
[sobs, chuckles] Oh, you're awake.
You're awake!
You're still here! [sobbing]
Don't go. [cries]
[Jae-il] Here you go.
[sighs, sniffles]
You can tell me now. I'm ready.
Well, I'm not sure
what you want me to tell you.
I already know it all.
She's gonna die.
[tearfully] Isn't she?
What?
She's getting very close to the end,
I'm sure of it.
That's why you moved her
to the bed by the door,
to keep tabs on her.
I know what's going on.
She's more lucid now, and she's eating.
When someone's about to die,
they use their last strength
right before they pass away.
That's why she's acting normal
and eating, and walking.
That's not what this is.
-What about that red medication?
-The red
Oh, the chemo agent?
That's what you give patients
before they go.
For patients near the end.
You give it to prolong their life
for a few days.
Do you think I don't know that?
Apparently, that's how they all died.
In that bed by the door.
They had a burst of clarity,
then they got the red stuff.
[sobbing] That's how they all died.
That's not what's going on.
Really, it's not.
The window bed really is broken.
They'll come to fix it tonight.
You can check on it.
And the reason she's eating,
is she's feeling better.
Her ascites have been drained
and her albumin levels are rebalanced now.
That red medication
is different from her previous drug,
because it's for recurrent cancer.
It's got nothing to do
with the other deaths, though.
Is that the truth?
You're not lying to calm me down are you?
I promise, I have no reason to lie to you.
But, seriously,
where did you even hear something
so silly?
[sniffles]
From the other lady in there.
She said that's how all her friends died,
and that my sister was gonna die soon.
Our Father, who art in Heaven
[Sae-byeok] Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
[panting heavily]
What do you think you're doing?
You shouldn't be touching this.
Oh Yi-young, don't turn it on.
Turn off the oxytocin.
I said turn it off!
Huh? But you prescribed this yourself.
I don't care.
[groaning in pain]
The epidural's having no effect right now.
Absolutely none.
[up-tempo music playing]
Based on your contractions,
we need oxytocin
I don't! [pants heavily]
I'm working my on-call shift.
I'll prescribe it during my on-call shift,
so turn it off.
I said turn it off! Now! Please!
Okay, Professor.
Oh Yi-young [gasps] go get a
get an OR for me.
I think you have to hang in
a little longer
No! I want surgery, now!
There's no change at all in the cervix.
Yeah, let's just go
for surgery right now, okay?
As you wish. Let me notify Professor Seo
No, do it! I've just given you the order!
[grunts] Forget everything.
Just book the OR.
Anesthesia!
Ooh, you must be in a lot of pain.
I know, there, there.
Nurse, she's one of our professors.
Don't worry, ma'am,
is the pain tolerable? On a scale of ten.
-Who are you?
-Oh, I'm the new nurse.
I'm gonna need you to steady
your breathing for me. [mimics inhaling]
[both exhale, inhale]
The epidural hasn't been working, huh?
How awful, you must be in a lot of pain.
It's gonna be okay.
You're doing a great job. Breathe.
Other mothers cry and make a scene,
but you're keeping it together
really well. Doctor, book an OR.
-[Sae-byeok] Nurse, I can't do this.
-[Chae-ryeong] It's painful, isn't it?
[Sae-byeok] Oh, so painful.
I had no idea it would be this bad.
-[line rings]
-Anesthesia? Is there an OR available?
Keep an eye on the patient.
Okay.
Ah, I'm so relieved.
The baby's O2 sats came up quickly,
and the mom didn't bleed much thankfully.
Mm, I know. That was lucky.
[gasps]
-Tak Gi-on.
-[gasps]
Oh, he saw everything?
[groans]
And we were all shouting
like maniacs, too.
Were we? [clears throat]
Ow, no wonder my throat's sore now.
[clears throat]
Ugh, next year's gonna be
a total nightmare now.
[whimsical music playing]
Don't worry, I'll see if there's
another intern we can win over.
Okay, let's look for one.
Mm.
-[both sigh]
-There's gotta be one out there.
[intern] Hey, Tak Gi-on.
Hey, didn't you hear me calling?
Oh, I was looking something up.
The patient with the prolapsed cord?
Yeah.
[gasps] Unbelievable.
The baby's fine, the mom's doing great.
She's already been transferred.
[chuckles] Hey, when I heard
those Obstetrics doctors screaming,
I thought the patient was dying.
For real, Obstetrics is so scary.
-[scoffs]
-Really?
I thought they were badass.
[chuckles]
[uplifting guitar music playing]
-See ya.
-Mm.
-Oh Yi-young.
-[Yi-young] Yes?
When you start the incision in the uterus,
that's the critical part.
[Yi-young] Get as close as possible
without risking contamination, please.
-[intern 1] All right.
-[intern 2] Okay.
Thanks so much, Dr. Oh Yi-young.
[Jung-min] Miss Geum,
please set everything else aside now,
and just focus on your baby.
You're a patient, not a professor.
Yes, Professor.
We'll start the surgery.
Oh, Professor,
you haven't forgotten my request, right?
Please try to do it.
-You really want that? Seriously?
-[Sae-byeok] Yes.
Well, if those are your wishes,
that's how it's gotta be.
[Yi-young] Do you need something?
No.
A lot of eyes are on us in this surgery,
so just stay focused.
All right.
[Jung-min] Scalpel.
ANESTHESIA TIME, SURGERY TIME
ANESTHESIA TIME, CURRENT TIME
SURGERY TIME
[Jung-min] Baby coming out.
[captivating music playing]
[squelching]
Baby's out.
[Jung-min] Hello.
[nurse] Time, 4:15, female.
[baby crying]
[Jung-min] Miss Geum, the baby is healthy.
She's gorgeous.
[Sae-byeok] Thank you, Professor.
[Jung-min] We'll now remove the placenta
and then we'll suture you up.
This may be a bit uncomfortable.
Oh Yi-young, there's something
I need you to do today.
Professor Geum's wish is for an R1
to close up her uterus and abdomen.
Wait, what?
Didn't you hear her?
She insisted that you do it.
[Yi-young] Oh.
[Jung-min] The baby's healthy
and the mom isn't bleeding,
so all that's left
is for you to sew her up.
[Yi-young] That's quite all right.
Actually, I think it's best
if I don't do it.
I figured you'd say that, which is why I'm
telling you now. We don't have all day.
Not everyone gets a chance
like this, Dr. Oh.
I'm fine. Really.
I'm scared. What if I mess something up?
Then don't mess up.
We're all here watching you.
Just do it the way you were taught.
No need to worry.
Oh Yi-young, move to
the lead surgeon's spot.
[sighs]
You'll have to do it sooner or later.
It's what you signed up for.
How long are you gonna hold back?
Get the edge, cleanly.
Steer clear of the endometrium,
avoid damage. You know all this, right?
[Do-won] I'll make sure
to assist properly.
Don't worry, just take the lead.
[Yi-young sighs]
["Amateur" by Mildo and Falasol playing]
[Jung-min] Let's start. Do-won, just give
her a tie where the incision starts.
[Do-won] Yep.
[sighs]
[instruments clanging]
[Jung-min] Lift the suture up higher
when you pull.
That's it. Very good.
[song continues]
Dr. Oh, what would you like me to do?
Pull a little tighter.
[Jung-min] Right. Sure thing.
[song ends]
Oh, there you are.
Yes. You need anything?
[Mi-ja] I did it again, didn't I?
I was all over the place,
talking nonsense.
Uh, you weren't.
It was a brief reunion
with some people you miss.
It wasn't anything too crazy.
[chuckles softly] That must mean
you're the one I really miss
if I was doing all that.
[chuckles]
BEWARE OF FALLING
Young doctor,
while I still have my wits about me,
I have a little favor to ask of you
if that's all right.
Can you promise me you will do it?
What is it?
I've told you not to do this,
but you just can't help yourself, can you?
Have you already planned
the date of your death?
Why are you always going on about having
your funeral portrait done?
Ugh, you're so stubborn!
It's my final goodbye
to all my loved ones,
so of course,
it's better to have it taken when I'm
as young and beautiful as possible.
Well, that ship has long since sailed.
When did you get so old, huh?
[tuts]
[sniffles]
You're way older than our mom ever was.
That's because
she died when she was only 50.
My little sister
My little sister is so beautiful.
So pretty.
[sentimental music playing]
I'm pretty?
I'm 75 years old now!
Even so. You're still pretty,
my beautiful little sister.
You always were.
Always.
Hurry up and take it!
The doctor's busy too, you know?
Ma'am, the model, the background,
it couldn't be more perfect.
Where did the camera come from?
From my bag. All kinds of things in there.
All right, I'm taking it now!
Look this way, please.
One, two, three, say cheese!
-[camera shutter clicks]
-[chuckles]
Oh, beautiful.
I'll have it ready when you come
for the next round of chemo.
Okay. Thank you, Doctor.
["Breath" by MINNIE playing]
-Wanna take one together?
-Oh, no, thank you.
How could I have my photo taken
at my old age?
This is a great camera.
I don't think so.
Oh, come on. Just take one.
-Please?
-I don't think that's a good idea.
-Oh, come on!
-[sighs]
I need to get going.
-I have work.
-Oh, but
[Jae-il] Come on.
Oh, you look so pretty, wow.
You look like young girls. [chuckles]
Now, relax and smile.
Here goes.
-Say cheese!
-[camera shutter clicks]
Let's take one more.
All right.
One, two, three!
[camera shutter clicks]
I can't believe she said
she'd deliver her own child.
She thought labor was a joke.
It's so incredibly painful.
Nothing like delivering
someone else's kid.
Oh, hey, you think
our long-standing tradition
will happen with Oh Yi-young?
"Obstetrics professor's attending
ends up in Obstetrics."
-Haven't you heard that?
-I have, actually.
I was the attending
when my professor delivered,
and Sae-byeok was there
when I had Seok-hun.
-Oh, your second-born?
-Yes.
Both of us were considering joining,
but ended up choosing Obstetrics
after doing our first uterus sutures
on our professors.
Mm.
I'm not sure
if that tradition still stands.
If you ask me, offering her
food or sleep would probably work better.
You think?
Then, should I take her out for dinner,
and butter her up?
-Maybe she'll join us after that.
-Tonight?
Do you think she'll be up for it?
[sighs] You're right.
She took the lead for the first time.
She sutured the uterus
and closed up the abdomen.
She's probably still so shaken up
right now,
I bet she can't even drink water.
You're right.
I guess dinner will have to wait.
Gosh. Oh Yi-young.
Oh, she won't get a wink of sleep tonight.
[door opens]
-[clatters]
-Yes?
She called me, right?
What?
I think Professor Geum just called me.
Is she bleeding? Is she in pain?
I didn't hear anything.
Hey, Dr. Oh, stop it.
-You don't have to keep checking on me.
-[Yi-young] I'm just nervous.
It was my first time suturing a uterus,
and I'm worried I pulled too hard
when closing the skin.
No need to worry.
That's how you learn. [grunts softly]
But where, exactly? How hard did you pull?
I've never seen anything like this.
I worked in Obstetrics
at another hospital for a year,
I've never seen a surgical wound
as clean as this one.
[chuckles softly] It's 'cause I taught her
how to do skin closures.
I think everything's okay.
[grunts softly]
I'll come back in an hour,
to check for any bleeding just in case.
Please, don't!
I really need to get some sleep.
-I'll see you in a bit!
-Seriously.
Oh, are you still at work because of me?
Yes.
Sorry about that. You can head out.
[chuckles softly]
It's not that I couldn't go home,
but I chose not to.
I wanted to repay my debt.
I meant to start paying you back
starting from today,
but I haven't been much help, have I?
It's gonna take a while.
There was no debt to pay. Don't be silly.
You don't owe me anything.
Oh!
All right, let's take a look
before we start.
Just so you know,
even with the anesthetic,
there might still be a little stinging.
So hold as still as you can.
If it stings,
please raise your right hand.
[somber music playing]
-All right?
-[door opens]
[drill whirring]
[dramatic music builds]
I was so embarrassed, I couldn't
contact you after that happened.
After that, word got out that
you punched him square in the face.
It was everywhere.
Whatever. False rumors
always seem to spread quickly.
Exactly.
You didn't punch him.
You bit him on the hand.
[shrieking]
[dramatic music playing]
Let go, you crazy bitch!
That's my good hand!
I use it for surgery!
Let go! That's my operating hand! Please!
You've made your point! [shrieks]
The clinic eventually closed.
His reviews tanked.
They said he was clumsy.
[gasps]
Come to think of it, it all started
right after you bit his hand.
Oh! That's why I did it.
[chuckles]
No one's done that
to you since. Am I right?
Of course not.
Because of you, nobody dares to.
[sighs] Glad to hear that.
[gasps] Oh, it's been an hour.
I think I better go.
-Where you going?
-To check on Professor Geum.
But she doesn't want you to check on her.
She said to leave for the day.
I'm worried about bleeding.
I'll check one last time before I go.
[uplifting music playing]
[sighs] Wait for me, Doc!
-Oh, you should go!
-No, let's do it together.
-Don't you have stuff to do?
-I don't.

Yeah. Hurry up.

Oh. Dr. Ku?
-Hey.
-Oh, it is you.
I almost didn't recognize you.
It's that hat. You look different.
My hair was flat from my scrub cap.
Ah.
-Where you going?
-Off to lunch.
-Where to?
-Around the corner.
-And who with?
-My sister-in-law.
-Wanna know anything else?
-Sorry, no.
I just thought it might be
your girlfriend, that's all.
Your patient Seon Min-seon's just gone up.
Isn't her BP more important
than my dating life?
Also, I can't issue
the discharge prescriptions

When will they be ready?
Oh, my.
I better deliver these.
Or they'll get cold.

-Did I keep you waiting?
-Huh? It's Joo-young.
-You still up for lunch?
-Yeah.
-You cold? You're not wearing very much.
-[Joo-young] Oh, I'm fine.
That's Yi-young's sister.
That's his sister-in-law?
[intriguing music playing]

if this is Dr. Ku.
Yeah, it could be. Or maybe it isn't.
Come on.

It's him. Yes, I think it's him.
Or is it not?

-This is crazy.
-This is crazier. Check this out.
-Forget about that, just listen
-No, no, I don't care. Look at this.
Isn't this Dr. Ku?
-Huh? Dr. Ku?
-What?
-It totally is.
-Yeah? How can you tell?
That's his hat. He's wearing it today.
Wow.
Then I guess it really must be him.
Who's this woman then?
She's handling this guy like a pro.
-Could it be someone from here?
-Huh.
That jacket looks familiar.
[gasps] Hey, I was right!
It's Oh Yi-young.
It's definitely Oh Yi-young.
-The two of them, I knew it!
-Huh?
Hey!
How did you know?
You knew, too?
Yes. Well, I found out by chance.
I thought I shouldn't tell,
until she told us herself.
Listen up, you traitors.
Why didn't you tell me
if you knew all along?
Hey. How did you know? You saw, too?
Yes, I saw.
They're living together.
-They're dating?
-They're in-laws?
[spluttering] Wait.
-Hey, what did you just say?
-What? They're what?
I don't know.
Hey, hang on, so they're
-They're in-laws.
-Who live together.
And and are dating?
[both] Huh?
Huh?
What's going on here?
This can't be.
If they're in-laws, I guess they could be
living together for some reason,
but dating is different.
[splutters] What is this?
But why do their shoes match?
Was it a group purchase,
like for the whole family?
[suspenseful music playing]

I'm getting lunch with my sister.

BAEKGYEONG REAL ESTATE
EPISODE 11
[quirky music playing]
[groans] We don't have all day.
The reservation isn't until five.
We still have an hour.
I don't get why
you're looking at places now.
I'd planned to move closer to the hospital
before my fellowship.
It's just, we barely even see each other
at home anymore.
I still see you at work.
You really like me that much, huh?
So? What about it?
[chuckles] I feel the same way.
It's so unlike you to say that.
Do you feel like it's been weird at home,
ever since we started seeing each other?
I don't think so. I feel
totally comfortable with the whole thing.
[scoffs] You never wear
that stretched-out T-shirt anymore,
or sprawl out on the couch
like you used to.
You hide in your room when I'm there.
Despite what my brother wants,
I can't live there forever.
[Yi-young sighs]
Once I have my own place,
we can be alone together.
Really? The two of us?
-To do what?
-[chuckles]
-[chuckles]
-[pleasant music playing]
That's not what I was referring to.
[slams armrest] Sign the contract now,
and move out next week.
Hey, when's the realtor getting here?
How long's he going to keep us waiting?
Gosh.
I wasn't trying to eavesdrop
but nice to meet you.
-[chuckles]
-Hey there.
I'm a client, too. Yeah.
I think the owner's gone to show
a property. He'll be back soon.
Oh, right. Thanks for the info.
[man chuckles]
So, what are you looking for?
Oh, well, a monthly rental,
or a fixed deposit lease.
Oh, then, around 20 pyeong?
-Yes.
-[man] Got it.
-Right.
-[Yi-young chuckles]
Which neighborhood?
-Pyeongbuk-dong.
-Pyeongbuk-dong? Where the hospital is?
-Yes.
-Oh?
[chair sliding]
That whole area is fantastic. [chuckles]
There are so many great places there.
Hard to think of
a better place for newlyweds.
-Actually, we're not newlyweds yet.
-Oh, uh, I'm I'm sorry.
Wow, you two seem so compatible.
You look great together.
[all chuckle]
Anyway, I know that area really well.
Really well.
The Melodium apartment complex.
is a great location.
-The landscaping's cool. It has ACES.
-AC-what?
Apartment complex with elementary school.
It's just perfect for raising children.
Uh, children?
Oh. [chuckles]
Uh, just forget
I said that part. [chuckles]
And maybe it's got good feng shui.
The tenants there have really great lives.
Especially in, uh, apartment 215.
It's south-facing, lots of natural light,
and it's got good ventilation too.
Ooh.
It's also on a great floor.
Twelfth floor, right in the middle.
It's so quiet up there.
The neighbors are really nice folks.
That's not all.
It's cheaper than other units.
[intriguing music playing]
[gulps] Save double.
Huh?
Well, if it's so good,
then why is it cheaper?
Well, I heard the landlord's a nice guy.
And, they're in a hurry.
Interested? Wanna see it?
I can show it right away.
-Are you
-Yeah, I'm the owner. It's my apartment.
Hmm. I figured as much.
I've heard all about these rental schemes.
Oh, no. No, no.
No, I'm not that kind of person.
Uh, I I know this is weird,
and we just met,
but, I'm a victim.
Yeah. I'm a victim of a rental scam.
You have no idea what I've been through.
Seriously, though, my wife was
Your wife was sick?
She was in the hospital and had surgery?
[gasps] How did you know?
Because your story's just like the one
I saw on the news.
Wow.
Ever since I got screwed over,
I can't stand hearing about rentals,
so I maxed out my loans to buy a place.
I'll show you the property registration.
And there are no liens on it, okay?
I'll show you proof of identity,
and I'll take out guarantee insurance.
Wait, wait, hey, wait. Look, hold up.
Look, you've got it all wrong.
I genuinely have a great place for you.
-Please stop it. Or I'll bite your hand.
-Huh? Hey, stop it.
She's not kidding.
We need to go now.
-That's fine, but let me prove I'm legit
-I'm serious, don't try me.
Calm down. Calm down.
Good girl.
[comical music playing, fades]
How dare they call me a scammer?
I look like a nice guy.
[scoffs]
Oh, there you are.
Oh, hello. Sorry I'm late. My bad.
[sighs] No one wants to come see my place.
We really need to move out.
Uh, that part isn't up to me at all.
Come on, the place has been
on the market for three months.
We need to get out of there
before my second kid is born.
Okay, just give it some time.
[whines] Come on, can't you try
and help me out?
-[whines]
-Hey, stop that.
[slurps]
[piano music playing]
It's 'cause we almost got scammed.
It's called panic-eating.
Oh.
When you're panicking, you gotta eat.
It calms you down.
Here, eat up.
All right.
Oh! What's this?
What did you get on your finger?
Oh, come on, you're getting stuff
on your hand. Jeez.
There, all gone.
My ring size is 5.5.
My fingers are smaller than they look.
Can you stop this and just eat your food?
Come on.
[splutters] I have no idea
what you're talking about.
All I did was wipe your finger
because there was something on it.
I know what you're doing.
Buying promise rings.
-[chuckles nervously] What? No, I don't
-Why are you trying to measure my finger?
Um, can you pretend
you didn't see anything?
Oh, I have something for you.
-Ta-da.
-What is this?
Whoa! These are nice.
-How'd you know my shoe size?
-I could just tell by looking.
Huh? How?
We share a closet at home.
Ah. That's right.

We can't see each other this week,
so let's at least go in together.

-You, uh, washed your face?

Oh, if you have any questions,
you can always ask any of our R1s here.
Right. Feel free to ask anything.
Like, about the hospital layout,
or anyone's names
-I'll tell you everything I know.
-I appreciate that.
I arrived early to look around, and I
could tell it's easy to get lost in here.
Oh, how early did you come into work?
You're pretty diligent, aren't you?
[chuckles] I certainly try.
I'll do my best.
Thanks for the warm greeting.

-Nice to meet you.
-Let's have lunch later.

[sighs]
It's really nice
running into you again, Doctor.
Yeah, you too.
Don't worry about earlier.
Keep it under wraps?
Yes, for the time being.
Got it.
One more thing. I was so startled earlier
that I didn't get to say thanks
I hear we have a new nurse. [gasps]
[sighs]
Pleased to meet you.
I'm Lee Chae-ryeong. I'm the new nurse.
[whimsical music playing]
Oh, right.
Welcome to the hospital.
Oh. Coffees.
Oh, great. Thank you.
I'll Yep.
See you later.
Morning, Doctor.
Hey.
'Sup? Where to?
-I heard there's a new nurse today.
-The nurses' station. Go say hi. Mm.
-Will do. Where are you headed?
-Outpatient.
[smugly] Oh.
You are?
Going alone?
-Yeah, who would I go with?
-You tell me.
Well, it's just that recently,
you seem to be going there all the time,
so I'm just wondering
what's going on over there.
What are you implying?
Doctor, no need to worry.
I'm beyond loyal.
In fact, I pride myself on it.
[giggles]
What the heck?
[whimsical music continues]
No way.
[Eun-mi] You hear what happened
to Professor Seo?
Apparently, this intern
wouldn't shake her hand.
She was snubbed.
-Oh, you mean Tak Gi-on?
-Mm-hmm.
I think all the good ones
already picked their departments.
And Dong-eun's off the table.
Tak Gi-on's literally our last hope
at this point.
Oh, I don't think he has any interest
in OB-GYN.
I'm not sure he's
that great at the job, to be honest.
I heard otherwise.
Apparently, at a team dinner,
Professor Geum said
how impressed she was that
an intern's better than the R1s.
Not necessarily better, but
just
good at his job, I think it was.
-What'd she say?
-[chuckles awkwardly]
Right.
Hey, actually,
what happens
if no one joins OB-GYN next year?
What do you think? It'll be over.
You've seen Pediatrics?
That could easily be us.
You'll have double the work, and you'll
always have to pull all-nighters.
Year two will be absolute hell on earth.
So, without R1s,
it's the R2s' job to take over their work?
Exactly.
Are you serious? That's completely unfair!
So that's the reason why
Tak Gi-on is an important addition.
Let's lure him in. Hmm?
[sighs]
[cell phone ringing]
INTERN TAK GI-ON
[sighs]
Yeah.
I'll win him over.
[cell phone ringing]
Hey, Dr. Tak.
-[Gi-on] How's that feel?
-It's okay.
How about here?
-It's a bit
-[Nam-kyung] Hi. Coming in.
-Is this the patient with menstrual pain?
-Yes.
Ah. Hello there.
It hurts pretty bad right now?
[patient] Yes.
She's been taking painkillers
since yesterday afternoon,
but she says it's gotten worse.
Mm.
Uh, she has bad stomach cramps,
but not like when you have diarrhea,
and unlike epigastric pain,
nothing in her upper abdomen.
Also, there's a feeling
of the bottom falling out,
but not like an impact injury.
Ah. Okay.
Ma'am, is there a painful twisting
in your lower belly,
to the point your insides feel like
they're being squeezed really tight?
Yes, that's right, Doctor.
And the pain,
it's radiating in every which direction,
it makes it very hard to sit still
or move around?
Uh-huh.
I'm in so much pain right now,
that it's impossible to function at all.
I know how that feels. I get that too.
Is your flow heavier than usual
or anything like that?
Um, I would say it's definitely a lot
heavier, 'cause I've bled through clothes.
I've had to use overnight pads
from the first day.
Oh.
Um, we should do an ultrasound, since it
could be endometriosis, or adenomyosis.
Okay.
[Nam-kyung clears throat]
[typing]
It's just period cramps,
so I've prescribed her painkillers.
She can rest a while.
Then we'll send her on her way.
Right. Thank you, Dr. Pyo.
Mm, you know, even female doctors
don't really understand the pain
unless they experience it too.
Some even tell patients period cramps
aren't that big a deal,
and they shouldn't come to the hospital.
Male doctors, on the other hand,
act like they know how painful they are,
and how bad it must be for the patient
to come to the ER early in the morning.
And that they understand
how terrible it must be
to endure it every month.
Oh.
I sometimes think
a person who actually
hasn't experienced periods,
can be more understanding and empathetic.
[gentle music playing]
Maybe that's why, in our department,
the male doctors are much more popular.
It's why, out of all of us,
Jae-il's the favorite of the patients.
And Professor Ryu Jae-hui,
he's the superstar of Yulje.
With that said,
um, don't feel like you need
to rule out OB-GYN
just because you happen to be a guy.
-Doctor.
-Yes?
I wasn't thinking about it that way.
I really don't mind that part.
I'm just not interested in this area.
-Oh. You're not?
-[whimsical music playing]
Thank you for your help.
Oh. See ya.
Gosh, why did I even say all that?
-[sighs]
-[music fades]
Oh, goodness.
I'm sorry. I'm still just an R1.
[beeps]
The EBW is 3,200.
The amniotic fluid volume's good.
And the umbilical artery doppler
looks fine.
Don't forget, we're supposed to do
the targeted fetal neurosonography.
[Yi-young clears throat]
[sighs] This is taking so long.
I don't really have much experience
with this.
Could you just give me
a bit more time? I'm sorry.
Hey, um
[beeping]
[beeping continues]
That square shape there is the CSP.
Measurements should be taken
from the plane where it's clearly visible.
Right. I know that part already.
You should be taking the measurement
when the atrium of the lateral ventricle
is seen at its largest,
and the borders are clear.
Oh.
Try again without shifting the angle.
Okay, I will.
Hey, Oh Yi-young.
I noticed you're not getting any faster
at reading ultrasounds.
ULTRASOUND ROOM 5
You were even worse
than you were last week.
I'm sorry, Professor.
When you're in the third trimester,
like patient Geum Sae-byeok happens to be,
even lying down
and getting into position is hard.
Accuracy and speed really matter. Okay?
Yes, I understand.
I'll do better.
To be fair, finding the correct angle
is harder than you think.
You need to find it as soon as you place
the transducer on the belly,
and that takes a lot of practice,
you know?
Let's give it another go tomorrow. The aim
is to get it done in three minutes.
-Tomorrow?
-What? You should.
I'm using my body to teach you.
Are you really gonna say no?
No, I'm not.
-I'd love to.
-Great!
-[chuckles]
-See you tomorrow.
See you.
[groans]
ULTRASOUND ROOM 5
-[sighs]
-[cell phone ringing]
What is it?
Don't start without me. I'm coming down.
Hey, you told us you'd be here right away.
Oh, I'm so hungry I could just pass out.
Didn't you finish ultrasounds a while ago?
Yep, that's right, but then
Did you know
there's a Seo Jung-min junior?
Yeah. Her girl's in middle school,
and her son is nine.
Mm-mm, not that kind of junior. You're
talking about Professor Geum, right?
Yeah. Her due date's next week,
and she's tense. Worse than Seo Jung-min.
She's a first-year teacher,
so she's full of enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm or diligence,
sometimes it's just too much.
You gotta know when to stop.
Exactly. I have no desire to learn,
so stop lecturing me.
[sighs] Just your luck, then, huh?
How'd you end up treating a professor?
Your superior's your teacher
and patient all-in-one.
Whoa, imagine messing up her sutures.
You'll be paying for it
for four years. [tuts]
[groans] Just my luck.
[sighs] I really don't envy you,
Oh Yi-young.
Hmm. Hey, this is really tasty.
It was even better the last time.
You've had this before?
-Yes, with Um Jae-il.
-Alone?
Wait, why? Where'd you go?
[gasps] Has Um Jae-il said he likes you?
-Are you guys dating?
-Ugh, not this again.
It wasn't like that. You were arguing,
he said we should leave you alone,
so we ate in outpatient.
[intriguing music playing]
[Nam-kyung] Whatever, even so.
Why would you go there at night?
You're not lovers.
-There's no one there at night.
-There was. Lots of people were there.
-Jae-il saw them.
-He saw them?
Who'd he see?
I don't know. I didn't ask.
Where's Um Jae-il now?
He said he'd nap after surgery.
He hasn't slept.

[Jae-il gasps, yelps]
Help! Help!
Can anyone hear me?
[pants]
[groaning softly]
[quirky music playing]
[straining] Please help me.
Come on. [straining]
You know how sometimes
patients feel numbness,
or even paralysis in their leg
after a laparoscopy?
They're not kidding. Even now,
there's no sensation.
You've had breakfast, coffee,
and you've been to the store.
You're all set. Can I go now?
Hang on.
Uh
Can I have my coat?
[sighs]
[sighs]
[soft music playing]
Thank you.
Hey.
That pen.
You good now? I'm going.
Kim Sa-bi, when will you be back?
Lunchtime?
Or if not, then after the surgery at 4:00?
-I won't be back.
-Then how am I gonna eat?
You'll figure it out.
I'm not gonna eat anything today.
I haven't really figured this out yet.
-How'll I go to the cafeteria alone?
-The patients seem to manage fine.
[whimpering] Come on!
All right, fine.
I'll just call you after my surgery.
Please come. I'll be waiting.
Fine, I'll come.
Ugh, Um Jae-il,
you give me a headache! [tsks]
See you later.
[chuckles]
[gasps] Oh, you scared me. [sighs]
Oh, Gu Yun-ja, is she next?
-Yes.
-Mm.
You seem very cheerful today,
but I can't imagine why.
-Not much to be happy about.
-I'm not.
I'm just
in so much pain and so embarrassed,
I can barely hold my head up.
[chuckles nervously] We should go.
How on earth did you manage
to injure yourself in a place like this?
[chuckles] Don't worry about me.
I'll be fine in no time.
Oh, long-term chemo
can cause some peeling,
especially on the hands and feet.
-I'll prescribe a topical cream for it.
-Thank you.
Another thing, about the chemo patients,
the ones who share this room with me.
Um
Oh, maybe they couldn't make it today.
Oh! They said they were actually
gonna switch hospitals, didn't they?
[chuckles]
You're such a terrible liar.
I heard they've all gone.
Yes. I guess you've heard.
Suk-ja, who was in that bed over there,
passed last month.
And Geun-yeong from Namyangju
also passed away after having chemo.
Yes.
She went into sepsis afterward.
The last time I saw her, she was smiling
brightly and waving at me energetically.
That is how I knew she'd go.
But with you, the tumor has
already shrunken significantly.
-I think this drug is working well.
-[sniffles] Is that the truth?
[crying] You're not just lying to me
to make me feel better?
Absolutely not.
I would never lie to you about
[woman] You're lethargic
because you're not eating.
[patient] This body's gonna rot
once I die, anyway.
So why do you keep trying to make me eat?
[sniffles] They're at
each other's throats again.
You should see them.
Who'll talk sense to them,
if not the doctor?
Right.
[woman] You need to eat to build up
strength for your chemo treatment.
My body doesn't want to eat.
I can't force myself because you tell me.
-Oh, goodness.
-Hello there.
Can you tell me what's going on?
She was getting better
but made things worse.
She still isn't eating.
I told you to leave me alone,
just let me die.
You've been saying that for a decade now.
If you're that desperate, then go.
Just go ahead and die already.
That way I don't have to keep
taking care of you. Thank gosh!
All right, ma'am, are you unable to eat?
[woman] She hasn't eaten anything
since yesterday.
They've told her over and over.
I've told her too, but she won't listen.
It's true, ma'am.
You need to eat normally.
We've switched you to porridge
because you had trouble with solids.
You need to try
to build strength for chemo,
so you can do it, and then go home.
Yes, that's true, I do need to go home.
Seong-chan, don't worry so much
about your mother.
I feel awful you came all the way
over here, lugging that heavy thing.
-Your studies must be hard as is.
-[chuckles softly]
[woman clicks tongue]
Ah, there you go again.
You broke down in tears yesterday, calling
him "Father," and now he's your son?
Mm.
The real Seong-chan
died over ten years ago, remember?
He used to take care of you before I did.
Did you forget?
You witch.
How can you say that
in front of Seong-Chan?
What a thing for a 50-year-old to say
in front of her own nephew.
Mi-ja, I'm well past 70 years old now.
Okay?
My word, this old lady has lost
her gosh darn mind! [groans]
[sighs]
Seong-chan, you do know why
your aunt's acting like this, don't you?
-She's a little
-[Jae-il chuckles]
-Yes, I know.
-Mm.
You must eat all your food today.
Mother.
[Jae-il chuckles]
[sentimental music playing]
[inhales sharply]
[sighs]
[groans]
Thank you for helping
with the surgery, Professor.
I had some cramps today.
I think I might've overdone it yesterday.
All I did was the fundal part, though.
-How about you? You okay?
-Of course.
I don't think she is.
She's been in pain since this morning,
and her complexion's off.
I think she's in true labor now,
but she's insisting it's false labor
to keep working.
Whoa, Oh Yi-young,
putting your foot down as her attending?
Yes. An attending whom
she won't listen to.
Now, Dr. Oh Yi-Young, remember what
I taught you in that study session?
False labor contractions can be regular,
much like true labor.
However, if they're gradually dissipating,
it must be false labor. Okay?
Okay.
Are you saying that
so you can keep working?
Yes. I have so many things
I have to wrap up here.
My due date's next Wednesday.
Gosh, I'm not sure
I'll finish everything by then.
The way you're acting right now
is precisely why every single person
who meets us
thinks we're sisters.
Are you serious?
-Oh, that's such a great compliment!
-[Jung-min scoffs]
Mm, you guys don't need
to worry about me at all. Okay?
Do you know how many deliveries
I've performed by now? Hmm?
"Oh, the cervix will open soon."
"Mm, if she starts pushing,
the baby'll be out in ten."
I can always tell. Seriously.
I've done vaginal delivery training.
Delivering a baby as the doctor,
isn't the same as giving birth.
In that case, come next week
and find out for yourself.
I'm gonna try to deliver my own baby.
All you'll have to do is cut the cord.
Yeah, point taken, so relax a bit.
Okay. [laughs]
Otherwise, your water'll break in the OR,
and they'll drag you to the delivery room.
Who would have the guts to drag her?
Who do you think?
You've been with her this entire time.
You're just too cool.
-We're totally sisters.
-[Jung-min] Call me if it gets too much.
-I will.
-Good job today!
See you later.
-[Sae-byeok sighs]
-Thank you, Professor.
Oh. [gasps]
Oh, are you okay?
-[pants]
-Should I call back the professor?
No, no, no. [pants]
Mm, mm, it feels like
the due date could be a little earlier.
Maybe up a day or two?
You can actually tell?
Of course. After this long on the job,
it's clear as day.
-[cell phone ringing]
-Ah, that hurts.
Yes, Professor?
Her BP? All of a sudden? And the baby?
Oh.
Oh, there isn't?
Right, I'll be right there.
-So, a surgery's come up.
-Another?
-Won't that be too much for you?
-No, I'm only assisting. I'll be fine.
I see. Okay.
I'll see you later.
Where are you going?
To have some lunch.
[whines] They said
there's no second assistant,
so I told them I would bring you.
Me?
-I'm coming?
-Mm-hmm. Shall we go? We better hurry.
-Uh
-Oh, my back.
It's all right.
Everything's fine.
Thanks.
[whimsical music playing]
[sniffles]
[typing]
[music fades]
[sniffles]
Oh.
-You're filling out a death certificate.
-[sniffles]
-Yes.
-Mm.
Hey, listen, I wanna tell you something.
Do you know why I joined OB-GYN?
I wanted to fill out birth certificates.
Oh.
And, also, the only place where
people are happy and relieved
is here in OB-GYN, Dr. Tak.
The point I'm trying to make,
is that here with us,
only good things occur.
-Doctor.
-Yes?
[sniffles] This death certificate
is the fourth one
I've had to fill out so far.
Oh. [whines sympathetically]
And two of those were in Gynecology.
[intriguing music playing]
Oh, really?
One had terminal cancer,
and they didn't even get to do much chemo,
and the other was my age
and had recurrent ovarian cancer.
With that one
I really couldn't hold it in, you know?
Uh, um
So that was also in Gynecology.
[sniffles]
I need to go see a patient.
-Oh.
-See you later.
See ya. Bye.
Later.
[sighs] He's a lot smarter than I thought.
[music fades]
Hey, I thought sisters
were usually good friends.
I have a brother.
You'll have to ask Oh Yi-young about that.
The elderly woman over in Room 1014,
she's always lived with her sister.
Wow, those two can fight.
-[yawns]
-Constantly at each other's throats.
I think the younger sister is exhausted
from years of caretaking.
Every single thing annoys her now. [tsks]
They say long-term illness breaks
everyone. It's just sad to see.
You'll manage from here, right?
I gotta get going.
Can you take me to the ward?
I've been doing this all day.
And my arms are worn out.
[sighs]
[gentle music playing]
You know, I looked into it.
A pinched nerve like that
should resolve in a couple of hours.
No, that's a lie! My leg's paralyzed.
So I was thinking
wanna leave together today?
I've got some reading to do.
Okay! I'll do that with you.
We'll both read.
Oh, actually, I need to watch
some surgery videos.
Oh! I was gonna watch some too.
Can I join you?
Hey, do you
[splashing]
Ow, God! That's hot! [yelping]
PFT LAB, ALLERGY LAB, BRONCHIAL LAB
Oh. I'm better.
[comical music playing]
Wow.
Hey, look at this.
How'd it fix itself? It's crazy!
Oh.
Oh, I gotta get to the ward now.
I I'm late. Um
Can you take care of that? Bye.
[pants]
[footsteps running]
Does he have a crush on me?
No, this isn't a bad spot,
it's close to the door.
[woman] That's the worst spot in the room!
Hello. Hello, there.
Something wrong?
Look, Doctor, why are you moving us
close to the door?
-Oh.
-I tried to explain.
Oh, you see,
the head board and call button
aren't working, so,
facilities thought it'd be best to have
you change beds while they're fixing it.
Why can't we just stay in it?
[sighs] I'd rather not move.
Apart from the fact that
it's not by the window,
this bed's actually a better spot.
It's close to the restrooms
and quicker for us to get to.
It might be quicker for you all,
but I take care of her.
I have a bad back.
How on earth am I gonna move her?
I'll be right here with you to help out.
'Cause my leg's all better now.
This has never happened in all the years
we've been in and out of hospitals.
Doctor, I'd prefer to stay here
Mi-yeong, seriously,
why do you have to be so difficult?
Why can't you just listen to him
and do as you're told?
Has your brother-in-law ever asked you
to do anything harmful?
How many times must I tell you?
This is my husband. He's the head
of the family now since Father is gone.
The head of the family?
That drunkard who bankrupted all of us?
Don't tell me that
you actually miss that jerk.
Honey, I'm really so sorry about this.
I should've married her off
and gotten rid of her long ago.
But what can I do?
She's the only blood relative I have.
[sighs]
Please try to be understanding, honey.
I'll have a firm word with her.
It's fine.
My dear
wife.
[Mi-ja] Oh, thank you, honey.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Take this. And this.
-I think that's enough.
-This too.
[uplifting music playing]
Oh, and this.
-You're gonna eat all this?
-Yeah.
[sizzling]
[exclaims softly]
[sizzling]
Huh? What?
[sighs] I'm not really good at barbecuing.
Don't worry,
there's no way you can mess this up.
-Mm!
-Mm.
Do-won said he'd come. He's not answering.
He had to go into surgery.
He's on call today
with back-to-back surgeries.
Oh, right, he didn't even have lunch
today, and he's skipping dinner.
What?
Since when do you care
if Do-won eats or not?
I know. It's weird.
And you remember last weekend,
she insisted on taking
his socks and underwear to him too.
[dramatic music playing]
Don't tell me
[Joo-young] Did
Did you borrow money from him?
Was it for that jacket you're wearing?
Ah.
I didn't borrow anything.
I already had this jacket.
Tell me the truth.
How much did you borrow?
-Seriously, you're such a little
-I'll leave your beers here.
Great. Thank you.
-Start talking.
-I didn't borrow.
-Now just drop it and drink your beer.
-Yi-young.
If you're lying,
you're gonna regret the day you were born.
[beer bottle hisses open]
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
Gosh, how long's it been
since you had beer?
[sighs] It's been about half a year.
I've decided to pause IVF,
so I'm gonna enjoy more than one tonight.
[laughs]
[Joo-young sighs]
Whoa! I needed that.
[gasps] Mm. I'm so happy now.
How could you go so long without drinking?
Because of my treatments.
If I got pregnant,
I could live without a drink.
And since I can't,
I might as well enjoy this.
Man, we're gonna need another.
Excuse me, could we have another
-Oh, I'm so sorry.
-[grunts]
-Are you all right?
-No, I'm sorry.
Huh? Oh Yi-young?
What are you doing here?
Eating. And you?
Me? Well, I
-Oh, nice to meet you all.
-Hello there.
I'm Oh Yi-young's friend from work,
Pyo Nam-kyung. Nice to meet you.
-[gasps] Really? You're her friend?
-[Seung-won chuckles]
We're not friends. See you later.
Oh, hot! [winces]
[pants]
[Yi-young] Don't bring up Do-won, got it?
[whimsical music playing]
Oh, I really hope that I'm not barging in
on a family dinner?
But you are.
So, I was supposed to be meeting
a friend here tonight,
but they told me they couldn't make it.
I didn't really wanna eat here alone,
so I was just on my way out,
then I saw you.
So, thank you so much.
Oh, no need to thank us.
This is the first time I've eaten
with a friend of Yi-young's. It's so nice.
We're not friends.
Hey, Yi-young and I
went to high school together.
And then we wound up at the same hospital.
Isn't that crazy?
Wow, you two were meant to be friends!
Gosh, I hope that you
stay close with Yi-young here.
[sighs] She's a real troublemaker,
so I'm always worried about her.
So, tell us, how is she at work?
Ah. Lately, Yi-young's been
-[light thud]
-Don't answer.
She's been getting praised
for how accurate her pelvic exams are.
[both gasp]
And she reads ultrasounds
faster than any of the R1s.
Mm! Is that true?
Absolutely, yeah. But she can never seem
to bite her tongue.
If you ask her to do something
she doesn't wanna do, she makes this face.
So she's good at the work,
but lacks social skills.
I'd say that's where she's
kind of at right now. [chuckles]
Well, good. I thought
she'd be bad at both.
So that's great. [chuckles]
Yi-young, nice work.
Gosh, she's exceeded my expectations.
[sighs]
Please keep an eye on her.
If she gets fired again,
she really has nowhere to go.
Oh, of course.
I'll keep a close eye on her.
Please don't worry, Joo-young unni.
Ooh!
Joo-young "unni"? You just met her. Yuck.
Thanks. Oh. Have some more.
Oh. Thank you, I will.
-"Unni."
-[both chuckle]
-Isn't she great?
-[both chuckle]
-[Joo-young] I'm so glad you joined us.
-[Nam-kyung] Huh?
Wait a sec.
You look really similar
to this one person I know.
Don't you think he does?
Like who? No idea.
You know, the guy
His eyes and mouth
are practically identical.
[gasps] Oh, gosh, uh, who is it? Um
um
Oh!
Professor Jo Joon-mo!
Wow, if no one said otherwise,
you'd think they were brothers.
-[gasps, chuckles]
-You really look so much like him.
-He must be very good-looking as well.
-[chuckles]
They don't look similar.
-We're done, you should go.
-Oh, really? I'll bring some back.
-No, we should really go.
-Let's have one more plate, huh?
You've finished your meal.
Don't you have work?
-What's wrong with you?
-I only need ten minutes.
-Ten minutes? No! Put that down.
-[both chuckle]
-Fine, eat.
-Okay, thanks.
JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
Um Jae-il.
-Huh? [hesitates] Oh, morning.
-Aren't you getting coffee?
No, I was just passing by.
Oh. Oh, right. I have something to say.
Oh. So the
Dr. Kim's gonna start
sending out wedding favors.
It's food, so she's sending them
to our homes.
Can you get the professors' addresses?
I can get the fellows' and the residents'.
Mm, I'll do that.
And, also
And what?
I looked into it.
Sudden leg paralysis
doesn't have lasting effects.
Oh, it was really
hurting yesterday.
But [chuckling] wow,
it's totally fine today.
It didn't seem to hurt yesterday. You said
it was numb and couldn't bear weight,
but then you jumped up and ran off.
I didn't exactly run off, though.
-You ran.
-I walked off. Slowly.
No, I tried to follow you with
the wheelchair, but you were too fast.
Ugh, how is your memory so good?
Well, I don't know why I did that.
Can't you just let the whole thing go?
Why do you have to make things awkward?
I'm just worried about whether or not
you really hurt it.
[soft music playing]
-Worried?
-Yes.
But I'm annoying you.
Oh
You were worried? Huh?
This whole time?
Doctor
Professor Geum's baby
[tense music playing]
[music fades]
-There you are.
-Oh, hello.
[sighs] Really, Professor?
You should've called me.
I would've helped you.
I just went to the bathroom.
Think I can't put on an NST on my own?
I could do this in my sleep.
[machine warbling]
The monitor light went off.
Sorry in advance.
I'm just glad that you're okay.
[pants]
BEWARE OF FALLING, SLIPPING
[beeping]
How are your contractions?
About the same as when I was admitted.
They're pretty regular,
every five to seven minutes or so.
BEWARE OF FALLING, SLIPPING
[groans]
[groans, winces]
You in pain? Where do you feel it?
[grunts, pants]
-Do you want the epidural now?
-Not right now.
[breathes deeply]
-Do another pelvic. We'll decide then.
-Okay.
[rail clangs]
-[winces]
-So sorry.
[exhales] I'm still at 2.0, right?
Yes, 2.0 in the pelvic,
and the station's high.
It's been two hours since I got here,
there's no change
in contractions or dilation.
Let's wait before starting the epidural.
Yes, but you're in a lot of pain.
Would you like medication?
[exhales] I should hold off
to keep progressing.
Let's do another pelvic exam
in about three hours,
and then we can make a final decision
about the oxytocin.
All right.
-If the pain becomes unbearable, call me.
-I'll be fine.
I'd rather you spend this time
checking on patients.
Oh, Miss Joo Ha-na who's on POD-two,
her CBC's back.
Take a look and let me know?
Uh, I didn't get the chance
because I was admitted.
You're seriously worrying about
other patients right now?
Why not?
It's just, you're not in a place to
[sighs] I guess
I've gotta do it myself then.
-Can you take this off?
-Professor, no.
I'll do it. Don't worry.
-I'll go check on your patients for you.
-Oh, you will? Okay.
Thank you, Dr. Oh. I'll see you in a bit.
-See you later.
-[rail clangs]
[gasps] Mi-ja!
Hey, stop eating so much, all right?
Why do you suddenly have
an appetite right now?
[gasps]
Make up your mind.
First, you're on my case for not eating,
now you're on my case for eating too much?
Hey, I'm just worried
you'll get indigestion.
I'm sure they'll give me medicine
for that.
How about a walk later, after I finish up?
-[door opens]
-Go on a walk?
-You have the energy for that?
-Of course I do.
Hello, ladies.
-Mm.
-[sighs]
-Hello, Doctor.
-I'm collecting your consent form.
You've finished your lunch.
What's going on? You seem happy.
-Did you get some good news?
-[Jae-il chuckles]
I guess I'm back to Um Jae-il today,
then? [chuckles]
Why is she acting this way
all of a sudden?
She's eating again,
and she's coming back to her senses.
And she even wants to exercise later.
What's going on?
Oh, it's because her condition's improved,
because of that albumin infusion.
Her labs are looking good.
Just yesterday,
she was saying she wanted to die.
So why's she suddenly full of energy now?
This can't be a good thing.
But, it is a good thing.
May I ask why you're upset by this, ma'am?
It's just that I heard
Never mind.
Now that she's feeling better,
she'll be able to tolerate treatment,
and she'll recover quicker.
Why'd you come here then?
Ah. We'll be starting her chemo soon,
and as I mentioned before,
we're switching to a new drug,
so I'll need you to sign
new paperwork again.
-Want me to go over it?
-No. I already know everything.
[Jae-il] Here.
CONSENT FOR CHEMOTHERAPY
I've heard the speech
a thousand times before.
Thank you.
She's just arrived in the ER.
She's not a regular patient here.
She has ROM and contractions,
but they're pretty mild.
-Right. So it's not super urgent.
-No.
-Ah! Tak Gi-on's here?
-He is.
We need to stay calm and collected, okay?
We gotta stay relaxed,
and act like it's all no big deal.
-All right.
-Don't forget, Gi-on's watching us.
Got it. He's watching.
Shall we go?
RESTRICTED AREA
[Nam-kyung] Coming in. Hello.
[Eun-mi] Lift your legs, ma'am.
Ma'am, I'm just gonna check and see
if your amniotic fluid is leaking.
This may be a little uncomfortable.
You must've been so worried. But you're
in good hands, so you can relax now.
I'm sure you and your baby will be fine.
I've hooked up the IV
and also sent out her lab tests.
The patient would like to return
to her hospital back home
[Eun-mi] No, she can't go.
She has to stay. We have cord prolapse!
-It looks like the cord's slipped through!
-What?
-Call the professor! Tell her it's urgent.
-We have a cord prolapse!
We gotta transfer her
to the OR right away! Get a porter.
-Huh?
-Call for a transporter right now!
Oh, okay.
[Eun-mi] Ma'am,
the umbilical cord's slipped through,
so you need to have surgery right now!
Porter, come to the ER right now?
Uh, Anesthesia? We're bringing a patient.
It's an emergency! Do you think we like it
any more than you do?
Hello, Pediatrics? We need to deliver now.
Well, why don't you get your ass up here?
Hurry! Get up here!
Don't stand there. Find her emergency
contact and get the consent form!
-Yep.
-Ma'am, are you all right?
-Ma'am, hang in there. Everything's okay.
-[Eun-mi] You'll be okay.
[pained groaning]
You're five centimeters dilated.
Cervix hasn't changed for two hours,
station is still at zero.
Mm.
I've started oxytocin at 15,
as you prescribed.
-[groaning]
-Are you okay?
I'm okay.
[pants] Dr. Oh, uh, remember my request
Huh?
I wanted the interns
to observe the delivery.
I know. I won't forget.
Make sure [groans]
to get the interns who haven't seen one.
Yes, yes, just leave that all up to me.
Hey, wait. Set it up so that they can all
see everything up close.
That's not important right now.
I want them to see
right from the first incision, all right?
-Professor, please!
-[pants]
I also have a request for you, too.
It's important.
I would like for you to only focus
on your labor today.
What? [groans]
What'd you say? [panting]
Mm-hmm. We'll talk after.
[pained groaning, panting]
Oh, God, you're such a [groans, pants]
Hello, ma'am. We're gonna start chemo now.
Right now?
Ah, she's sleeping.
In that case,
I'll come back in a little while.
I'll be back in about half an hour,
and then we'll get started.
Wait.
Why does it look like that, huh?
-Why is that thing red?
-Huh?
[breathing heavily]
Hey, you can't do this! You can't!
[crying] You can't give her the red one!
Don't give her that.
Give her the colorless one!
Her usual one!
Listen, Doctor,
you can't give her that! [crying]
Well, this is the drug
I told you about last time.
Unni. [crying] Unni!
Oh, Mi-ja! No!
[crying]
You said you wouldn't die!
You said you would stay with me longer!
I don't have any parents or a husband.
If you leave me too [cries]
then I'll be all alone!
[sobbing]
Unni, I'll be an orphan!
-[sobbing]
-[melancholy music playing]
Don't leave me by myself, okay?
I don't want you to die, please!
[sobbing]
Don't die, unni!
Unni?
[sobs, chuckles] Oh, you're awake.
You're awake!
You're still here! [sobbing]
Don't go. [cries]
[Jae-il] Here you go.
[sighs, sniffles]
You can tell me now. I'm ready.
Well, I'm not sure
what you want me to tell you.
I already know it all.
She's gonna die.
[tearfully] Isn't she?
What?
She's getting very close to the end,
I'm sure of it.
That's why you moved her
to the bed by the door,
to keep tabs on her.
I know what's going on.
She's more lucid now, and she's eating.
When someone's about to die,
they use their last strength
right before they pass away.
That's why she's acting normal
and eating, and walking.
That's not what this is.
-What about that red medication?
-The red
Oh, the chemo agent?
That's what you give patients
before they go.
For patients near the end.
You give it to prolong their life
for a few days.
Do you think I don't know that?
Apparently, that's how they all died.
In that bed by the door.
They had a burst of clarity,
then they got the red stuff.
[sobbing] That's how they all died.
That's not what's going on.
Really, it's not.
The window bed really is broken.
They'll come to fix it tonight.
You can check on it.
And the reason she's eating,
is she's feeling better.
Her ascites have been drained
and her albumin levels are rebalanced now.
That red medication
is different from her previous drug,
because it's for recurrent cancer.
It's got nothing to do
with the other deaths, though.
Is that the truth?
You're not lying to calm me down are you?
I promise, I have no reason to lie to you.
But, seriously,
where did you even hear something
so silly?
[sniffles]
From the other lady in there.
She said that's how all her friends died,
and that my sister was gonna die soon.
Our Father, who art in Heaven
[Sae-byeok] Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
[panting heavily]
What do you think you're doing?
You shouldn't be touching this.
Oh Yi-young, don't turn it on.
Turn off the oxytocin.
I said turn it off!
Huh? But you prescribed this yourself.
I don't care.
[groaning in pain]
The epidural's having no effect right now.
Absolutely none.
[up-tempo music playing]
Based on your contractions,
we need oxytocin
I don't! [pants heavily]
I'm working my on-call shift.
I'll prescribe it during my on-call shift,
so turn it off.
I said turn it off! Now! Please!
Okay, Professor.
Oh Yi-young [gasps] go get a
get an OR for me.
I think you have to hang in
a little longer
No! I want surgery, now!
There's no change at all in the cervix.
Yeah, let's just go
for surgery right now, okay?
As you wish. Let me notify Professor Seo
No, do it! I've just given you the order!
[grunts] Forget everything.
Just book the OR.
Anesthesia!
Ooh, you must be in a lot of pain.
I know, there, there.
Nurse, she's one of our professors.
Don't worry, ma'am,
is the pain tolerable? On a scale of ten.
-Who are you?
-Oh, I'm the new nurse.
I'm gonna need you to steady
your breathing for me. [mimics inhaling]
[both exhale, inhale]
The epidural hasn't been working, huh?
How awful, you must be in a lot of pain.
It's gonna be okay.
You're doing a great job. Breathe.
Other mothers cry and make a scene,
but you're keeping it together
really well. Doctor, book an OR.
-[Sae-byeok] Nurse, I can't do this.
-[Chae-ryeong] It's painful, isn't it?
[Sae-byeok] Oh, so painful.
I had no idea it would be this bad.
-[line rings]
-Anesthesia? Is there an OR available?
Keep an eye on the patient.
Okay.
Ah, I'm so relieved.
The baby's O2 sats came up quickly,
and the mom didn't bleed much thankfully.
Mm, I know. That was lucky.
[gasps]
-Tak Gi-on.
-[gasps]
Oh, he saw everything?
[groans]
And we were all shouting
like maniacs, too.
Were we? [clears throat]
Ow, no wonder my throat's sore now.
[clears throat]
Ugh, next year's gonna be
a total nightmare now.
[whimsical music playing]
Don't worry, I'll see if there's
another intern we can win over.
Okay, let's look for one.
Mm.
-[both sigh]
-There's gotta be one out there.
[intern] Hey, Tak Gi-on.
Hey, didn't you hear me calling?
Oh, I was looking something up.
The patient with the prolapsed cord?
Yeah.
[gasps] Unbelievable.
The baby's fine, the mom's doing great.
She's already been transferred.
[chuckles] Hey, when I heard
those Obstetrics doctors screaming,
I thought the patient was dying.
For real, Obstetrics is so scary.
-[scoffs]
-Really?
I thought they were badass.
[chuckles]
[uplifting guitar music playing]
-See ya.
-Mm.
-Oh Yi-young.
-[Yi-young] Yes?
When you start the incision in the uterus,
that's the critical part.
[Yi-young] Get as close as possible
without risking contamination, please.
-[intern 1] All right.
-[intern 2] Okay.
Thanks so much, Dr. Oh Yi-young.
[Jung-min] Miss Geum,
please set everything else aside now,
and just focus on your baby.
You're a patient, not a professor.
Yes, Professor.
We'll start the surgery.
Oh, Professor,
you haven't forgotten my request, right?
Please try to do it.
-You really want that? Seriously?
-[Sae-byeok] Yes.
Well, if those are your wishes,
that's how it's gotta be.
[Yi-young] Do you need something?
No.
A lot of eyes are on us in this surgery,
so just stay focused.
All right.
[Jung-min] Scalpel.
ANESTHESIA TIME, SURGERY TIME
ANESTHESIA TIME, CURRENT TIME
SURGERY TIME
[Jung-min] Baby coming out.
[captivating music playing]
[squelching]
Baby's out.
[Jung-min] Hello.
[nurse] Time, 4:15, female.
[baby crying]
[Jung-min] Miss Geum, the baby is healthy.
She's gorgeous.
[Sae-byeok] Thank you, Professor.
[Jung-min] We'll now remove the placenta
and then we'll suture you up.
This may be a bit uncomfortable.
Oh Yi-young, there's something
I need you to do today.
Professor Geum's wish is for an R1
to close up her uterus and abdomen.
Wait, what?
Didn't you hear her?
She insisted that you do it.
[Yi-young] Oh.
[Jung-min] The baby's healthy
and the mom isn't bleeding,
so all that's left
is for you to sew her up.
[Yi-young] That's quite all right.
Actually, I think it's best
if I don't do it.
I figured you'd say that, which is why I'm
telling you now. We don't have all day.
Not everyone gets a chance
like this, Dr. Oh.
I'm fine. Really.
I'm scared. What if I mess something up?
Then don't mess up.
We're all here watching you.
Just do it the way you were taught.
No need to worry.
Oh Yi-young, move to
the lead surgeon's spot.
[sighs]
You'll have to do it sooner or later.
It's what you signed up for.
How long are you gonna hold back?
Get the edge, cleanly.
Steer clear of the endometrium,
avoid damage. You know all this, right?
[Do-won] I'll make sure
to assist properly.
Don't worry, just take the lead.
[Yi-young sighs]
["Amateur" by Mildo and Falasol playing]
[Jung-min] Let's start. Do-won, just give
her a tie where the incision starts.
[Do-won] Yep.
[sighs]
[instruments clanging]
[Jung-min] Lift the suture up higher
when you pull.
That's it. Very good.
[song continues]
Dr. Oh, what would you like me to do?
Pull a little tighter.
[Jung-min] Right. Sure thing.
[song ends]
Oh, there you are.
Yes. You need anything?
[Mi-ja] I did it again, didn't I?
I was all over the place,
talking nonsense.
Uh, you weren't.
It was a brief reunion
with some people you miss.
It wasn't anything too crazy.
[chuckles softly] That must mean
you're the one I really miss
if I was doing all that.
[chuckles]
BEWARE OF FALLING
Young doctor,
while I still have my wits about me,
I have a little favor to ask of you
if that's all right.
Can you promise me you will do it?
What is it?
I've told you not to do this,
but you just can't help yourself, can you?
Have you already planned
the date of your death?
Why are you always going on about having
your funeral portrait done?
Ugh, you're so stubborn!
It's my final goodbye
to all my loved ones,
so of course,
it's better to have it taken when I'm
as young and beautiful as possible.
Well, that ship has long since sailed.
When did you get so old, huh?
[tuts]
[sniffles]
You're way older than our mom ever was.
That's because
she died when she was only 50.
My little sister
My little sister is so beautiful.
So pretty.
[sentimental music playing]
I'm pretty?
I'm 75 years old now!
Even so. You're still pretty,
my beautiful little sister.
You always were.
Always.
Hurry up and take it!
The doctor's busy too, you know?
Ma'am, the model, the background,
it couldn't be more perfect.
Where did the camera come from?
From my bag. All kinds of things in there.
All right, I'm taking it now!
Look this way, please.
One, two, three, say cheese!
-[camera shutter clicks]
-[chuckles]
Oh, beautiful.
I'll have it ready when you come
for the next round of chemo.
Okay. Thank you, Doctor.
["Breath" by MINNIE playing]
-Wanna take one together?
-Oh, no, thank you.
How could I have my photo taken
at my old age?
This is a great camera.
I don't think so.
Oh, come on. Just take one.
-Please?
-I don't think that's a good idea.
-Oh, come on!
-[sighs]
I need to get going.
-I have work.
-Oh, but
[Jae-il] Come on.
Oh, you look so pretty, wow.
You look like young girls. [chuckles]
Now, relax and smile.
Here goes.
-Say cheese!
-[camera shutter clicks]
Let's take one more.
All right.
One, two, three!
[camera shutter clicks]
I can't believe she said
she'd deliver her own child.
She thought labor was a joke.
It's so incredibly painful.
Nothing like delivering
someone else's kid.
Oh, hey, you think
our long-standing tradition
will happen with Oh Yi-young?
"Obstetrics professor's attending
ends up in Obstetrics."
-Haven't you heard that?
-I have, actually.
I was the attending
when my professor delivered,
and Sae-byeok was there
when I had Seok-hun.
-Oh, your second-born?
-Yes.
Both of us were considering joining,
but ended up choosing Obstetrics
after doing our first uterus sutures
on our professors.
Mm.
I'm not sure
if that tradition still stands.
If you ask me, offering her
food or sleep would probably work better.
You think?
Then, should I take her out for dinner,
and butter her up?
-Maybe she'll join us after that.
-Tonight?
Do you think she'll be up for it?
[sighs] You're right.
She took the lead for the first time.
She sutured the uterus
and closed up the abdomen.
She's probably still so shaken up
right now,
I bet she can't even drink water.
You're right.
I guess dinner will have to wait.
Gosh. Oh Yi-young.
Oh, she won't get a wink of sleep tonight.
[door opens]
-[clatters]
-Yes?
She called me, right?
What?
I think Professor Geum just called me.
Is she bleeding? Is she in pain?
I didn't hear anything.
Hey, Dr. Oh, stop it.
-You don't have to keep checking on me.
-[Yi-young] I'm just nervous.
It was my first time suturing a uterus,
and I'm worried I pulled too hard
when closing the skin.
No need to worry.
That's how you learn. [grunts softly]
But where, exactly? How hard did you pull?
I've never seen anything like this.
I worked in Obstetrics
at another hospital for a year,
I've never seen a surgical wound
as clean as this one.
[chuckles softly] It's 'cause I taught her
how to do skin closures.
I think everything's okay.
[grunts softly]
I'll come back in an hour,
to check for any bleeding just in case.
Please, don't!
I really need to get some sleep.
-I'll see you in a bit!
-Seriously.
Oh, are you still at work because of me?
Yes.
Sorry about that. You can head out.
[chuckles softly]
It's not that I couldn't go home,
but I chose not to.
I wanted to repay my debt.
I meant to start paying you back
starting from today,
but I haven't been much help, have I?
It's gonna take a while.
There was no debt to pay. Don't be silly.
You don't owe me anything.
Oh!
All right, let's take a look
before we start.
Just so you know,
even with the anesthetic,
there might still be a little stinging.
So hold as still as you can.
If it stings,
please raise your right hand.
[somber music playing]
-All right?
-[door opens]
[drill whirring]
[dramatic music builds]
I was so embarrassed, I couldn't
contact you after that happened.
After that, word got out that
you punched him square in the face.
It was everywhere.
Whatever. False rumors
always seem to spread quickly.
Exactly.
You didn't punch him.
You bit him on the hand.
[shrieking]
[dramatic music playing]
Let go, you crazy bitch!
That's my good hand!
I use it for surgery!
Let go! That's my operating hand! Please!
You've made your point! [shrieks]
The clinic eventually closed.
His reviews tanked.
They said he was clumsy.
[gasps]
Come to think of it, it all started
right after you bit his hand.
Oh! That's why I did it.
[chuckles]
No one's done that
to you since. Am I right?
Of course not.
Because of you, nobody dares to.
[sighs] Glad to hear that.
[gasps] Oh, it's been an hour.
I think I better go.
-Where you going?
-To check on Professor Geum.
But she doesn't want you to check on her.
She said to leave for the day.
I'm worried about bleeding.
I'll check one last time before I go.
[uplifting music playing]
[sighs] Wait for me, Doc!
-Oh, you should go!
-No, let's do it together.
-Don't you have stuff to do?
-I don't.

One hot herbal tea for me.
Hey, Yi-young and
No, let's talk in the office.
Yeah. Hurry up.
[music fades]
Oh. Dr. Ku?
-Hey.
-Oh, it is you.
I almost didn't recognize you.
It's that hat. You look different.
My hair was flat from my scrub cap.
Ah.
-Where you going?
-Off to lunch.
-Where to?
-Around the corner.
-And who with?
-My sister-in-law.
-Wanna know anything else?
-Sorry, no.
I just thought it might be
your girlfriend, that's all.
Your patient Seon Min-seon's just gone up.
Isn't her BP more important
than my dating life?
Also, I can't issue
the discharge prescriptions
without summaries.
When will they be ready?
Oh, my.
I better deliver these.
Or they'll get cold.
Joo-young!
-Did I keep you waiting?
-Huh? It's Joo-young.
-You still up for lunch?
-Yeah.
-You cold? You're not wearing very much.
-[Joo-young] Oh, I'm fine.
That's Yi-young's sister.
That's his sister-in-law?
[intriguing music playing]
[music fades]
[Jae-il] Dr. Cha was asking
if this is Dr. Ku.
Yeah, it could be. Or maybe it isn't.
Come on.
Assume it is him, and then take a look.
HELP US FIND THIS MAN WHO SAVED A LIFE
It's him. Yes, I think it's him.
Or is it not?
Hey, you won't believe this. Oh, my God!
-This is crazy.
-This is crazier. Check this out.
-Forget about that, just listen
-No, no, I don't care. Look at this.
Isn't this Dr. Ku?
-Huh? Dr. Ku?
-What?
-It totally is.
-Yeah? How can you tell?
That's his hat. He's wearing it today.
Wow.
Then I guess it really must be him.
Who's this woman then?
She's handling this guy like a pro.
-Could it be someone from here?
-Huh.
That jacket looks familiar.
[gasps] Hey, I was right!
It's Oh Yi-young.
It's definitely Oh Yi-young.
-The two of them, I knew it!
-Huh?
Hey!
How did you know?
You knew, too?
Yes. Well, I found out by chance.
I thought I shouldn't tell,
until she told us herself.
Listen up, you traitors.
Why didn't you tell me
if you knew all along?
Hey. How did you know? You saw, too?
Yes, I saw.
They're living together.
-They're dating?
-They're in-laws?
[spluttering] Wait.
-Hey, what did you just say?
-What? They're what?
I don't know.
Hey, hang on, so they're
-They're in-laws.
-Who live together.
And and are dating?
[both] Huh?
Huh?
What's going on here?
This can't be.
If they're in-laws, I guess they could be
living together for some reason,
but dating is different.
[splutters] What is this?
But why do their shoes match?
Was it a group purchase,
like for the whole family?
[suspenseful music playing]
[music intensifies]
I'm getting lunch with my sister.
Hey, Oh Yi-young!
-What?
-It is her!
-Oh Yi-young, I can't believe you.

I will have my baby at midnight
on January 1st.
-Hey, I told you it's not time yet!
-[Yi-young] Ma'am.
Can't we hold off
for just a little longer?
[Jung-min] The one who decides
the delivery date is the baby.
-Doctor.

[Joon-mo] Decided on
the new Obstetrics professor?

Thank you, Professor.
-So?
-Is it true?
-Are you two
-[Yi-young] We're dating.
-Happy?
-[Sa-bi] You'll be double in-laws?
-[nurse] A new couple?
-[Jae-hui] Shame to lose him.
-If only I had a daughter.
-That wouldn't do you any good.
[Jae-il] It's a secret romance?
