RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

Ah. Dr. Da-hye's on break for now, right?

Yeah.

She was pretty devastated

by the transfer patient's death.

She kept crying about it non-stop

for days.

I completely get it.

We saw her getting wheeled past us

as they brought her down.

Just a glimpse,

but I've still had nightmares.

She bled so much, they gave her

almost 30 units of blood

after they had to take out her uterus.

When she got DIC, there was

nothing much to be done at that point.

It's awful.

Postpartum hemorrhage

is the worst thing in the world.

-What causes it to start, anyway?

-Good question.

-What does cause it to start?

-[all] Hello.

Truth is, no one knows.

Not only that, but anticipating

which patient will develop PPH

is currently impossible.

We can't predict or prevent bleeding.

But we can make sure

we're ready to handle it.

And to be ready, we must study

the subject thoroughly.

To accomplish that, we'll increase

our study sessions to twice a week.

[both groan] Professor!

You all seem so excited,

how about three times a week?

This week, we'll learn how a PPH situation

can be ideally handled,

and what sort of actions we can take

to best address it.

Show me this.

Professor Kong gave us this packet

about PPH in one of the sessions.

Mm.

Forget about this.

-Use mine.

-[Jae-il] Okay.

Starting today, in these sessions,

we'll learn very important things.

Not just theoretical,

but practical knowledge.

So I will also not tolerate anyone

nodding off or getting drowsy

Or any types of similar distractions.

Got it. [clears throat]

Let's get started.

The most important thing

in a PPH situation

is to notice the bleeding as soon

as possible and move quickly.

PPH?

-But I already covered that with you all.

-Yes.

Hang on, so why is

Professor Seo Jung-man

Sorry. Seo Jung-min re-teaching it?

Ah, with what happened recently,

she's focusing on practical knowledge

to make it simpler for us all to manage.

Simpler? Hold up. You're saying

I made it hard to understand?

-No.

-[scoffs]

She thinks she can teach about PPH

better than I can?

She has to be better at everything.

She's such a raging narcissist.

Our surgery today is at 3:00?

Uh, actually, it looks like Professor Seo

planned for six surgeries,

then there was an emergency C-section

she had to do, and a spinal block failed,

so that surgery got

pushed over to GA, and so,

it ended up taking a lot longer

than anyone expected it would.

So what? When is ours?

Around 5:00 p.m.

The patient's been told, I made sure.

What?

Hey, this is the only surgery

I have scheduled.

You really expect me

to wait until 5:00 p.m. tonight?

Uh Well, Professor Seo has been

given priority use of the OR today

[scoffs] She's controlling

the entire OR schedule, huh?

She wants to push me around.

In that case, make Anesthesia

open another OR for us.

They said they could do

two surgeries at once

after they wrap up the GS surgery

planned for 3:00,

but Professor Seo has booked

that room too.

I'm entitled to one.

Why does she get to take everything?

Wait a minute. Is this an attempt

to assert dominance?

It's not! I would guess she's probably

way too overloaded

to pull anything like that right now.

Yi-young said she has to attend a meeting

with the hospital director

at about 6:30 or so,

and needs to finish all her work

before she goes,

so she's asking you to understand

the issue.

-Why's she meeting the hospital director?

-I wouldn't know, sorry.

That little

Tell Jung-min I go into surgery at 3:00,

and there's no way I'm waiting until 5:00.

Make sure you book that room for me

or else You got that?

Oh, uh

[sighs]

How am I supposed to do all that, huh?

[Jung-min] You told Professor Kong

her surgery's been pushed back?

[Yi-young] Yes.

She knows she has the final slot today.

-[cell phone ringing]

-And she agreed? Didn't fight you?

[Yi-young] I don't know. All I care about

right now is my own survival.

Oh, I mean,

you told me I had to make sure you'd

be done with your surgeries by 6:00, so

If I didn't, I know

you'd scold me about it.

Well, good job.

That's a change. What's going on here?

Okay, I'm grabbing Tuesday for

Professor Kong's induction case. Fair?

No. Professor Seo asked me

to get a room for an induction that day.

Look, Professor Seo booked three more

on Monday already, though, right?

Yeah.

So we need two on Tuesday.

You don't have many patients,

we have a ton.

-Why not do Thursday?

-She'll be at a conference that day.

-You can book Thursday.

-Professor Seo

JM's going too.

She'll be pissed if I don't get Tuesday.

And Ggong? Knowing her,

you think she'll be all right with that?

Ugh, this is really annoying. Why don't

they manage it between themselves?

Exactly.

Don't you think the two professors

are a bit weird lately?

They always were,

so I'm not surprised they still are.

Yeah, I know that, still [inhales]

it seems they may have gotten worse.

How so?

Their rivalry, you know?

They're so childish.

I mean, one bristles when someone

mentions Seo Jung-min at all.

The other blocks Gi-sun from

ever getting anything she wants.

And we end up dealing with all this,

stuck in the middle of their crazy fight.

-Hello! Hello!

-What is it? Why are you here again?

Im Dong-ju's got an emergency C-section.

-But you're in Gynecology.

-Yes, I finished that work.

Then why aren't you getting out of here?

-Why be here?

-[Sa-bi] How can you go home

when it's an incarceration case?

What do you mean? Just split and run.

[Sa-bi] It's a really rare case,

so this could be my only chance to see it.

-You're not going to sit in?

-I'm going.

-Home, right?

-All right. See you later.

Hello.

Hey. You're done in the ward,

why aren't you heading out?

There's a surgery I want to sit in on.

You want to see this surgery so much,

you're willing to stay late

instead of going home?

-Yes.

-[chuckles] That's fair.

This isn't an easy surgery,

and it does involve a unique approach.

From a resident's point of view,

it'll be fascinating

to see the manual technique involved.

-Yeah.

-I think it's truly impressive.

[chuckles]

-Aw

-Well, then.

Where are you going?

The room changed, it's here.

It's not. Professor Im's

doing the C-section in OR 6.

[chuckles]

Hey, you're on

the Gynecology rotation, though.

Yes, but I heard incarceration cases

are unique from the first incision,

so I really want to see this.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Huh. [chuckles] What the

Wow, what am I going to do with her?

[objects rattling]

Hey!

Why did you call me

when you haven't finished prepping?

[Jae-il sighs]

Should I have stayed back

to watch the surgery?

Don't you have dinner plans?

Dinner plans can get rescheduled.

Sa-bi said this case is pretty rare.

Incar su round?

Incarceration.

Yeah, that's the one.

Is this really about the surgery?

Good question.

Is it the surgery you'd like to see?

Or the Hello Girl you'd possibly run into?

Why would I wanna see her?

What do you mean?

What do you think? You follow the

poor woman every chance you get lately.

-So I was wondering.

-Follow her? When?

-Ever since the karaoke room dance.

-Hmm.

That's just 'cause

we're nearly done as R1s,

then we're all R2s.

Sa-bi explains things well,

so I end up learning a lot.

She can take a complicated idea

and talk it through so I understand.

All right, sure.

If you get together, you better

tell us first, before anyone else.

After all, we're together

16-plus hours a day.

If we hear it from rumors,

I'll be pissed off.

You writing a screenplay?

You're being ridiculous.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

At the hospital.

Oh! Yeah, that sounds

uh, fine.

Yes.

Hmm? Who was that?

-Do you have a

-My brother-in-law. Nobody else.

I'm getting a ride,

so he called to say here's here.

Oh! Hey, drop me off at the bus station,

then, please, okay?

-It's close by and on your way.

-I can go too!

We could meet your sister's husband.

-No you can't!

-Whoa, hey!

-Why not?

-You just can't.

Family discussion.

-It's really private.

-I'll cover both my ears, then. Eh.

-Yeah! I can too!

-No, you can't.

Please? I don't have the energy

to make myself walk.

-Can't you?

-No can do.

-Come on, you totally could!

-Uh

With him, it's just

He's really shy.

Carpooling with someone he doesn't know

is hard.

Next time, okay? I'll give you a ride

another day.

Go.

Oh Yi-young

you're a real jerk.

Later, then.

Yeah, bye.

Such a jerk!

[sighs]

[mouthing]

What? Should I go to you?

What, what? Eating?

Go?

Oh, I missed you too!

Just wait in the car for you?

You getting in, too?

What should I not do?

You want me to wait in the car, right?

Well, come on!

What happens if we get seen?

You told me before, that folks

would assume we were carpooling.

Back then,

that was actually the truth, so it worked.

-Now it's completely different.

-[laughs]

You lost me, I'm sorry. We're still

carpooling the way we always have been.

It's just

If anyone at work learns about us

-I just don't want anyone to know.

-Why is that?

In case you tell someone we're dating,

and we break up soon afterward,

is that it?

How can you say that?

We're never breaking up.

[laughing]

Hey, listen, I've been keeping

the R1s in the dark.

I should be the one to tell them first.

But where do I even start

to explain all this?

We first started as only in-laws,

nothing else,

we were living under the same roof.

We didn't plan on things to go this way,

but now that it happened

This is giving me a bad headache. I can't.

They're your friends. You better tell them

or it'll hurt their feelings.

No, they're not friends.

I don't think they like me at all.

-They like you quite a lot, I'd say.

-I worry what they'll think.

Besides, everybody in the hospital

could get the wrong idea.

I'm worried that because of the mistakes

I make on the daily,

they'll think I've gotten distracted

by "love."

I don't care what people think about me.

But I don't want you to get hurt.

You're my oppa.

Sorry?

What?

Boyfriend. You are, aren't you?

You're my oppa.

Well, I suppose so. Sure. I mean, yeah,

sort of, 'cause you're younger.

Hey, act more casual.

We're a couple.

I can't yet, it's too soon.

You always say Dr. Oh at work,

so call me by my name instead.

You're right.

All right, how about, uh

Well [exhales] Yi

Oh Yi-young.

Dr. Oh! I can't do it yet!

Let's just go home, then, Dr. Ku Do-won.

Gosh.

[Joo-young] That's probably enough.

OH YI-YOUNG

WANT TO GO FOR A WALK?

[Seung-won] You know how she eats.

KU DO-WON

SOUNDS GOOD

-[chuckles]

-Then do it properly. Hey.

-What?

-You dating or what?

Dating?

What makes you say that?

-I am.

-What?

-Sorry?

-Wow!

See? I totally knew it!

You've had your phone in your hand

for the past 24 hours.

Either sit down like normal

or get out of here. Who is it?

-Someone at the hospital?

-[gasps]

-[Joo-young] Oh! Did you know, Do-won?

-Huh? Mm, sorry?

-What? I

-He didn't know about it.

He's completely clueless about this stuff.

So who is it?

Oh, never mind. Don't date anybody!

-Why not?

-Sorry?

Obviously, it's some hospital

co-worker of hers, right?

I don't want her dating someone,

breaking up

and creating drama for everyone.

She's as fickle as the wind,

I'm telling you.

She falls in and out of love so fast,

you get whiplash trying to track it.

[scoffs] That's not true.

Actually, I've never had

a boyfriend before.

This is my first love.

Oh, please. [laughs]

Won-u, Sang-min, and

Who was it? What was his name?

Huni-huni? Is that it?

No, it was something like Soni-soni

Don't you remember?

No, first I'm hearing it.

I don't know who they are.

The point is, you shouldn't

run around the hospital dating people,

making your coworkers uncomfortable.

You'll work with them

another four years, at least.

That's why you should always avoid

dating in the office,

or friends-to-lovers things.

It's all too hard to navigate.

Your romance started in the office.

Well, if you're going to get married,

it's okay.

-I will, then.

-Oh, my God!

[coughs]

Bro, do I look like an exotic plant

that needs watering?

This is so gross, ugh!

Anyway, what did you say? Get married?

-You're gonna You are?

-[sniffs]

[sighs] Christ. Well,

I'll be at the hospital before long.

Tell him to say hello.

We better get introduced soon.

[scoffs] Hey, I was just kidding around.

Looks like I got you.

[sighs] Are you serious?

Hey, don't mess around about

a thing like that, you got it?

-Why are you yelling?

-Hey, I wasn't yelling!

[sighs] Jeez.

Those sprouts get treated nicer than I do!

Oh, what's wrong with her?

Don't take it to heart. She's upset

there's one more blood sample still.

-They take it in two days.

-[Joo-young] I'm not upset at all.

Not like it matters now. [sighs]

The first blood sample they tested

as ambiguous, so I took a second.

That was ambiguous too.

The next sample has to double the levels

of the second. There's no chance.

Still, you've had two lines

in all your pregnancy tests.

That happened in the third IVF round,

and that didn't work out.

-Don't get too hopeful.

-I won't, I'll do like you say.

Oh, well, one more chance. I mean

If it happens, good.

We'll be fine no matter what.

Yeah.

Oh, I can't go to the hospital

with her then.

-Could one of you go? It'd mean so much.

-I'll see if I can make it.

That's unlike you. You must be busy.

Oh. The nanoparticles project

he's on is going strong.

He's achieved deterministic

statistical optimization.

What? What does what again?

You take nanoparticles,

you layer a polymer coating

on the surface to modify [groans]

Don't bother asking.

Do you know who kicked off the research?

My senior, Oh Joo-young,

who's the best researcher they had there.

Gosh, that project was everything,

I was in charge of the whole thing

while I was working there until I quit.

[sighs]

See how far it's gotten since?

What am I doing now?

Uh, that's not it. Sorry, I was saying,

since my hard work went into it earlier,

you should work hard and give it your all.

Of course.

Everything will work out for us.

-I said don't get hopeful, didn't I?

-Yeah, all right.

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

[babies crying]

[both] I'll take that.

-Professor Seo has a patient

-Be quiet.

-Uh, Professor Kong has a patient that

-Keep it down. You'll wake the babies.

I don't care. Why don't you come to

an agreement and let me know?

-[sighs] They're always arguing.

-[Nam-kyung sighs]

Na Hyo-jin is at 33 weeks in the MFICU

with preeclampsia.

Her BP has been stable so far,

but it spiked to over 150 this morning,

and she also has a headache.

The baby's coming out today.

Chae Yu-ra is at 33 weeks

in the MFICU with PPROM.

She's had a fever since morning.

Her baby needs to come out today,

but its EBW is only 1,900 grams.

[gasps] Oh, really?

Ours is only1,800 grams.

The baby's smaller, and even more fragile.

My patient is suspected

to have chorioamnionitis.

My patient could end up with more issues.

Transfer yours to another hospital.

-I said no.

-I can't either.

Ggong says if I transfer this patient,

I might as well leave with her.

Better leave, then.

[Nam-kyung] Not without that incubator.

-What are you doing?

-Where're you going?

Dr. Myeong's doing a delivery

and says the baby isn't doing well.

Move, please. Thanks.

Hey, watch your feet.

[sighs]

[sighs] He just stole that

right out from under us!

You need to come fix this right away.

See, my mother's IV, is leaking some more.

Ah, all right, I'll come check.

I'd appreciate it.

Isn't that the guy

who kept on making threats

because it took someone two tries

to place his mother's IV?

That's him all right.

He said "thank you"?

I'm surprised he didn't yell.

Ah, well, the other day,

the professor may have gotten angry

when they heard him refer to me as "girl,"

so I'd assume that's why he changed.

It's just the tone of his voice,

otherwise he's been nice.

-I better go take a look.

-All right.

[Joon-mo] Why aren't you doing anything

about the patient who has a fever?

Oh. Oh, no, that's

I did a chest X-ray, which showed nothing

out of the ordinary.

She's only on POD one.

I've been observing.

Even with a completely normal X-ray,

if a fever crops up,

you should be able to take action!

Blood and urine cultures aren't done

until POD two to three,

so it would be too early to run those.

And a wound culture on POD four or five

is only warranted

if the fever's continued that long.

I'll be checking the wound during

the dressing change tomorrow to be sure.

Hey, you teaching me right now?

-No.

-Didn't I tell you?

Whenever I know something,

don't tell me about it like it's news.

I don't need a list of factoids

that I'm familiar with!

Sorry about that.

[Joon-mo] Regardless of POD,

if the patient has a fever,

don't you think you need to find out why?

How would you do that?

-Don't know?

-No, I know.

Hurry up and answer me!

You just told me I can't explain something

you already know.

Do you think this is all a joke?

[Joon-mo sighs]

Blood cultures, urine cultures,

or checking for wound complications.

I don't care, just resolve the issue.

Fever workup, get on it.

Go do that immediately.

-You understand?

-I understand, Professor.

If this was for Obstetrics,

you'd take the work seriously.

[sighs]

Ouch! Why'd he bring Obstetrics into this?

No idea.

Last time, he said I did too many tests

on POD one, but he's still angry at me.

I'm totally confused now.

It seems like he's totally

out to get you right now.

-You upset him, didn't you?

-Did I?

No, nothing happened.

Mm. Sa-bi, why don't I let you in

on my personal tactic.

Say a professor is upset, or unhappy.

What are you supposed to do?

At times like that, you just say,

"I apologize!"

Why apologize if I'm not at fault?

Just try it. Just act like it's

your fault, and say you're sorry.

-How, if I didn't make a mistake?

-That's not the

[sighs]

It's all right. Mm.

Just do what's best for you.

I gotta go to surgery.

So as for you,

stay out of trouble with everyone.

Gosh.

You know, I can't believe we're here.

I'm finally giving advice

like this. [chuckles]

[pleasant music playing]

[Jae-il] Can I ask?

Why are you doing surgery this way

instead of opening her up?

Oh, I'm not saying

there's anything wrong with it.

It's just this is a complicated surgery,

so I wondered why you did a laparoscopy

instead of a laparotomy.

I'm not challenging you.

It's a genuine question. It really is.

Wow, I'm so touched by your curiosity.

Honestly, I think

this is the first time ever

during a surgery that an R1

has asked me a question.

Whoa.

Everyone else just assumes.

They assume, because I'm the professor,

I must be right.

Nobody gets curious enough

to ask otherwise,

especially during the surgery itself. Hmm!

According to all the current research,

there's no difference in outcome

between a laparoscopy and a laparotomy.

But today, we're considering

the case of this particular patient

who is further along in her years.

So, for the patient's benefit,

my aim was to reduce surgery time,

as much as I possibly could.

So then, have I answered

your question, uh

uh, Dr. Yoon Tae-jin?

Um Jae-il, actually.

[Jae-hui] Oh, yes, yes.

That's right, Um Jae-il.

Yes, I know. Of course!

I know, he's, you know, the, uh

the [spluttering] Hi-Man.

HI-BOYZ.

-[laughs]

-[Jae-hui] Sorry.

Sorry. Boy.

[chuckles]

Specimen coming out now. [grunts]

Goodness.

Just look at this thing.

Why does a terrible thing like this

have to form in the first place?

It's so unfortunate.

Creates such anguish and pain. Goodness.

Anyway

-HI-BOYZ.

-[Eun-mi laughs]

[chuckles]

You're really not going?

Professor Kong getting us pizza

is actually a very rare event.

And it's from someplace

really good, I heard.

No, thanks.

I don't like pizza, so you go ahead.

You told me you like pizza, so

Ah. [chuckles nervously]

I do like pizza. Just not today.

Indigestion.

-Oh, I can get you

-No, don't do that!

Don't worry about it.

I don't want medication.

-You guys go ahead.

-We'll be really quick!

-No need to.

-Why not?

There's no rush, have fun.

Go and eat a lot, and chew thoroughly,

or you could get indigestion.

-I see. Okay, we'll get some pizza.

-See you later.

Ooh, I'm so excited!

You could've had pizza first, you know?

I'd rather have this.

[chopsticks clatter]

["Forever" by D.O. playing]

Well, Dr. Oh,

I feel confused. Do you wanna keep this

under wraps or shout it from the rooftop?

I don't know yet.

But I really want to be with you.

I know that much.

[chuckles]

-Me too.

-[chuckles]

[Do-won clears throat]

[laughs]

Think you can help out a little?

[chuckles]

-Pork too.

-Pork?

Mm-hmm.

-And spinach.

-Oh, and spinach?

[sighs]

I'm so tired right now,

I can't even lift the spoon.

[chuckles] Well, I can handle that.

No, Dr. Oh, it's all right.

-Hey, I'm strong.

-You really don't have to do that.

Ah.

[mimics airplane whirring]

Ah.

Oh, hey! If you drop my chopsticks,

you should at least pick them

Oh, Myeong Eun-won. Hi, Doctor.

-Mm? Oh, Dr. Oh.

-Yes?

The surgery ahead of us is running long,

so hold the patient half an hour.

All right.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello, Professor.

Professor Kong wrote me

a letter of recommendation already.

The application deadline

for professorships is next week.

I'm going to touch mine up

before submission.

Yes.

I appreciate you.

Oh. hey, Dr. Ku.

Have you heard about how many people

have applied for professorships this year?

I haven't.

Ah, Dr. Yoo Jeong-hye is applying.

I heard about that.

Ah [clicks tongue] she is?

Are you going to eat that? Can I

Mm.

-I had better go.

-[chuckles]

-[Eun-won] Enjoy lunch.

-Bye.

[sighs]

That was close.

How can a hospital as large as this

not have any privacy?

How can we date at work?

Dates aren't supposed to go on at work.

All the free time is spent at work.

How else are we supposed to date?

And at home, there's always

two pairs of eyes watching.

Yeah, you're right. And I gotta put in

time here over the weekend.

Really?

Let's meet up tonight, by the fire escape.

-Those stairs should be empty

-Mm-mm. Someone grabbed up every floor.

Does anyone here actually work?

-There's the elevator.

-[chuckles]

That's only on TV. How would that work?

I want to see you.

Uh, I'll have about half an hour

after 9:00.

We can go get a coffee together, okay?

-It'll be just us.

-You got a deal.

-We'll go to the

-[cell phone ringing]

PYO NAM-KYUNG

Ugh, this is the absolute worse timing.

What?

[Nam-kyung] Your cervical length is fine,

and everything's looking really good.

You can go back to the ward. I'm all done.

Thanks so much, I'm glad.

I need to start outpatient ultrasounds.

Please hurry.

-Just one more? It'll be my last!

-You can't. Patients are waiting.

-But I'm fast!

-You can't.

Your patient's upstairs,

so bring the portable machine to her.

Why clog things here?

Kong told me it's best

I use the machine in here.

That seems like a you issue.

Oh, sorry about that.

Let's go.

The outpatient appointments

are behind now.

Look, I really do understand all that,

I get it.

I'm doing all the Doppler scans here

'cause Ggong is making really important

decisions and told me to use this machine.

Ah. Be there in a sec.

Please return to your seat, miss,

and I can help you in a minute or two.

Sure.

Well, outpatient appointments stop

at lunch.

Yeah, but it got sprung on me after lunch!

[sighs] Can't you help me out

just this once?

I'll be super quick, I promise.

Seriously?

-Fine, be quick.

-[cell phone ringing]

Yes, Professor?

[Jung-min] Where's Miss Moon's ultrasound?

Why isn't she ready for her consultation?

Sorry about that.

Things are backed up down here.

Just give me a minute,

I'll get everything done.

[Jung-min] The ultrasounds have been

holding up my appointments all morning.

-Do I need to come there myself?

-No don't come, I'm on it!

Give me just a minute!

[cell phone ringing]

Yes, Professor?

Uh, I completed the ultrasounds.

Well, except there's

just this one patient I couldn't

Of course. I'm on it.

Yes.

Yeah, just a minute, I'll get it done.

[sighs]

Hey, Oh Yi-young, let me finish!

Hello.

-Hello, Doctor.

-Hello, ma'am.

-Hello.

-Hello, Professor.

Hello.

-Hello.

-Oops, here!

[sighs] If they could just be

more responsible and plan,

there'd be no need to run around.

Sorry we were running late.

Let me take a look at this.

Oh, oh! Whoa! Hey, stop!

What are you doing?

[yelps] That's hot!

[wincing]

[panting]

[sighs]

Jeon Mi-yeon's surgery

is first thing in the morning.

An ostomy for intestinal obstruction.

Aren't you aware of that?

I'm aware.

Then why was there porridge on her table

when I ordered a fast for her?

Were you trying to sabotage the surgery,

or what?

That's not

And the Surgeon-in-Chief of the department

is doing the surgery since I requested it.

If it's cancelled because of it,

can you imagine how stupid I'd look then?

Uh

It's co-managed

with the surgery team, so

[Joon-mo] What happened?

Well, what about it? Go on.

Apparently, their resident

was the one who entered

[Joon-mo] They did what?

Just say something already!

I'm sorry.

Tell me, do you come here

to help patients,

or are you trying to k*ll old ladies?

Thank God I was there,

or it would've been a disaster!

Oh, Professor Jo! There you are, gosh.

Oh, Professor.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

Oh. Oh!

Oh, I'm so sorry, I just

I was dealing with my resident.

May I assist with anything?

I'm afraid so. [sighs] One of

our residents entered an order wrong.

He ordered a meal for Miss Jeon Mi-yeon.

He confused her with someone else,

I guess.

Ah-ha, you're saying that

he cleared her to eat?

I see. That would explain

the porridge being sent to her.

That's right. Well, has she

already eaten the porridge?

-No, she didn't eat it.

-Ah, thank goodness.

You don't need to worry.

I double-check everything just in case.

What a relief this is.

Now apologize to the doctor.

I really am sorry.

-I'm sorry about that.

-It's all right.

Try not to worry now, okay?

These things do happen, right?

-[Professor] Be careful going forward.

-[resident] I will.

And Professor, since you're here,

how does tea sound?

That sounds great. Tea it is.

-[Joon-mo] Great!

-Get back to work.

[Joon-mo chuckles]

Oh, gosh. How are you?

[sighs]

I'm a little confused.

Why didn't you say it wasn't you?

I was just too scared.

He made the mistake, not you.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Hold your head up high.

Right.

[Jae-hui] Stay strong.

Don't let it [sighs]

Ah, never mind words right now. [inhales]

There are better ways

to make you feel better.

Oh, don't, I'm all right. I appreciate it.

I can enter that medication order

for you. Go on.

-Go get a cup of coffee, okay?

-No, I'm fine.

No, I insist. To be honest,

it's because I'm really thirsty.

Please get up and go.

Let's go, get up, come on, just go.

Go on. Good, now get going.

Uh, for me, uh,

an iced americano sounds really good,

in, like, a big size cup.

Biggest there is. [giggles]

Let me see, now, huh?

Oh, just what do we have here?

[both sigh]

[Nam-kyung sighs]

Anybody want food?

[comical music playing]

Do you?

What? Is it your coffee?

It tastes bad, or what?

It's great.

-Pork stir-fry down in the cafeteria.

-Really? Let's go.

Hey, Um Jae-il, isn't today

supposed to be street food day?

-Just ask her about that.

-Who do I ask?

-Jae-il, I had street food earlier.

-And I had stir-fry before, so

So for dinner

-Stir-fry.

-Street food.

You two work this out.

I don't want to get involved.

-Did you have a fight?

-[both] No way.

They so did.

-Not true, why would we be fighting?

-Exactly. No reason we'd be fighting.

-She just got me in trouble.

-[scoffs] Only returned the favor.

Hey, Sa-bi, is it such a big crime

to do an ultrasound

with an inpatient who might be critical,

before the outpatient sessions?

Isn't it shocking someone's confused

about how the outpatient process works?

I was just asking

if anybody here might want dinner.

All right, then.

I suppose we'll starve now.

Are you happy, guys?

Hey! That's mine, don't!

Ryu Jae-hui bought me this one!

I'm sorry!

Seriously! Guys, why do you

take things this far?

Being so angry over nothing? Seriously?

Ah, jeez. I can't stay here like this.

So, uh, don't try to stop me, guys!

I really can't stay here!

Ugh! Come on!

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

You're all set. We'll be sure to call

as soon as we get the results.

It'll take around an hour or so.

So, there's no more blood tests now,

am I right?

-This blood sample was the last one?

-I expect it's the last, yes.

So then, what comes next

in the whole process?

If the levels appear good, you'll make

an appointment for an ultrasound.

You mean the scan, right?

The womb scan thing that you guys do?

Yes.

And an hour from now means you'll be

calling around 1:30 or so?

I'll call you as soon as the results

come out, so don't worry.

Right. I'm grateful. Thanks.

Oh Yi-young. Don't delay

the outpatient ultrasounds tomorrow.

-We have a full schedule, okay?

-Yes.

That is, yes, I'm on it.

Backed-up ultrasounds

open the floodgates for complaints.

Pyo Nam-kyung, I have 25 outpatients

to be scanned tomorrow, right?

Uh, yeah.

I need to be done with everything

no later than 5:00.

-No delays for any reason, understand?

-I'll get them wrapped up by then.

I've heard a spot is opening

in the Obstetrics ward here soon.

[Gi-sun] Yes, I'm going to take it.

I was just about to say the same thing.

I'll take it, lock it down.

I have a patient in Gynecology

that needs to transfer.

Making rounds slow me down.

-I'm counting on you, Doctor, okay?

-I will.

I'm in the same situation.

I want my patient brought from Gynecology,

so please sort it out.

-But make sure you eat too.

-All right.

[line ringing]

Is this Administration? I'm OB/GYN

resident Pyo Nam-kyung, hi!

Yes, I was told a bed opened up

in the Obstetrics ward.

Hey!

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25

[chiming over PA]

[indistinct announcement over PA]

Sorry, I had work to do.

Why are you acting so weird?

It doesn't suit you.

They called you yet?

No. [sighs]

-[exhales]

-Nervous?

Not at all.

If it was happening, it'd be confirmed

after the first test I did.

-Let's not count on it.

-[cell phone ringing]

Oh.

Hello? Yes, this is Oh Joo-young.

Ah.

[chuckles]

Uh-huh, I see.

Yup, thanks so much, then.

Uh-huh.

-The level's at what?

-Ninety-one.

It was 153 before this one.

It's much lower than it was.

A chemical pregnancy?

How did you know?

[chuckles] Wait, right.

You're a doctor.

-[sighs]

-How can you be laughing right now?

I just figured it wasn't going to work.

Must explain why I'm not

so torn up this time as much as I thought.

Hey, I said it's all right.

I didn't hear the heartbeat

and I didn't feel them move. Relax.

All I've lost is a bunch of cells.

I'll be fine. And anyway, I still have

two more of the embryos left.

It's all right. Two more tries. Mm.

Let's grab lunch. I've got some time.

You must be much too busy now.

Treat me to a coffee.

Since I started doing IVF again,

I haven't been able to have any coffee.

[inhales] So a caffeine hit

sounds really great.

-Let's go, then.

-Mm.

You?

[Yi-young] The usual.

An iced americano, and an iced latte

as well if you could. Thank you.

Oh, and the iced latte is decaf

Oh.

No, it's good.

That habit really did form quick.

[breath trembles]

Mm.

[tearfully] Ah, God.

I just can't believe I tried so hard,

and still got nothing back at all.

-[sobbing]

-["Breath" by MINNIE playing]

[sobbing]

Hey, hey, stop.

-[sobbing]

-[clears throat]

Sorry about that.

One iced americano, regular sized.

[clears throat]

And an iced cafe latte with an extra shot.

No, two extra shots.

-All right.

-[sniffles]

[sobbing]

[clears throat, sniffles]

[cell phone ringing]

PROF. JO JOON-MO

[cell phone ringing]

PROF. JO JOON-MO

[clears throat]

Hello, Professor.

Oh, Kim Sa-bi just went to the bathroom.

Let me check and I'll have her

call you back. All right.

It's nothing, really.

Availability check for the OR.

Oh.

Have you eaten?

Then come to the cafeteria. What?

Scared you'll meet him there?

-What are you doing here?

-What anyone else would be doing.

Withdrawing cash.

They'll be closing soon. Let's go.

[Sa-bi] Mm-hmm.

If you just want to be alone,

this place is pretty good.

But I know a better spot at night.

-Like where?

-It's a place where no one goes.

And it's nice and quiet.

-[laughing]

-[patient] Hey, don't laugh. Shush!

[laughing]

Excuse me, hello.

This patient's a friend of mine.

I'll handle it.

[resident] Oh, sure.

-Appreciate it.

-Of course, bye.

Just trying to get here

was extremely treacherous.

-So just help me, okay?

-Yeah, all right. I'll take care of it.

But just quit begging, we're friends.

I'm here for you no matter what.

-[laughing]

-I told you to stop laughing already.

This is driving me insane,

I swear! [groans]

-[sighs]

-[exhales]

How on earth did you manage

to do this to yourself?

I guess there was super glue on the desk,

and I leaned my elbow on the tube,

which caused it to drip down

from the edges of the desk.

-Right.

-So then,

I tried to catch all the drips,

and this is the end result.

You're out of work

if you screw up your hands.

Just an unemployed loser.

Yeah, I know all that, Jung-min.

That's why I'm begging you.

Amen, namaste, sawadee ka, I need you.

-[cell phone chimes]

-Mm?

Oh, on my side here.

[Jung-min] Ugh, God.

[laughing]

-I can't get it, help me. Hold it.

-[laughs]

-[clicks]

-Face recognition worked.

[grunts]

Oh, God!

Ugh, the things you [laughing]

God. [grunts] Typo, typo.

[panting]

[gasps] Yes, I did it! It's done!

-Jeez.

-Now slide it on in.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Let's look. Hey, is an obstetrician

really the right person to do this?

Yes. Yeah.

Oh, my gosh, hold on.

There's a specialist for this.

-She's in the hospital now.

-Where? Derm, or what?

OR? Or it's not Psych?

-Not them, no.

-Can't you just help me out yourself?

You can take the lead surgeon role,

and I can be the best assistant.

How did you think to come to our hospital

instead of your own? You're a nuisance.

This place is closer to where I live.

Not that you were embarrassed

to get seen at your own?

-[cell phone chimes]

-Oh, she's here.

-The specialist.

-Who is it? Or have we met?

No one comes close to being her match.

She's a master physician.

[Professor] Lee Ik-jun?

[gasps]

Weren't we to meet at the campground?

What brings you here?

Your hands, what happened?

What have you done?

My hands got stuck.

-Super glue.

-Super glue? How'd you do that?

You know that one camping lantern

that you really like?

I noticed the handle fell off,

so I tried to fix it.

You Seriously? I told you to just

leave it alone, didn't I?

-[winces] Ow.

-I bet you're in pain.

-Yeah.

-What are we going to do with you now?

-Oh, goodness sake.

-Song-hwa, what are you doing here?

I had a paper to revise.

Didn't I tell you that?

Chi-hong was taking awhile with the data,

so thought I'd lend a hand.

How'd you know she was here?

Song-hwa told me she was on her way over,

so we grabbed lunch.

Then I was going to work, when I happened

to get a call about your situation.

[Ik-jun] Oh.

Jung-min, what do we do with this?

Warm saline is our first step,

before any big g*ns.

And then, depending on what happens,

OS can always

-cut them off.

-Hey! How could you?

You have my sincere sympathies.

-[Gi-sun] Hey, Ik-jun!

-Huh? Oh God, now what?

Ik-jun, you here?

Are you okay?

What happened to you, huh?

Seo Jung-min said you were in the ER.

I was so worried about you.

I just happened to get the call

when she was right there, so

Hi, Ggong.

[chuckles]

[chuckles] So how are you

these days, Junie?

Oh, good. Hmm.

Are you okay? What did you do to yourself?

You see, um

Hey, you. Can't you see that

someone else is here too?

-[gasps] Song-hwa!

-[laughing]

[Gi-sun] It's been so long, wow!

Well, how are you doing?

Oh. You've gotten even prettier now.

That's not true. [chuckles]

Right? Song-hwa gets prettier

by the day, it's amazing.

Gi-sun, it's been forever. You're still

the same as you were three years ago.

[chuckles]

Yes, she hasn't changed at all,

looks or skills.

[Ik-jun] Here, look.

Song-hwa, look at this. It hurts.

It's starting to really sting, you know?

-Does it sting a lot?

-Yeah! Your hair, just let me

[sighs] Just quit it!

You need to start focusing on yourself.

Look at the state you're in!

What do we do about this?

Hey, don't try to force your hands apart.

-I won't, but it does sting.

-What's going on?

What do you mean? Your first love

is happily here with his last love.

They've dated a while now.

Didn't you know?

[gasps] Oh, so that's why you

[Ik-jun] I'm trying

to get my hands unstuck!

-I already knew they were dating.

-[indistinct conversation]

You should get the lipstick

off your teeth.

-[Ik-jun] This isn't gonna work.

-[Song-hwa] It's not. Cham, Cham, Cham.

[sighs]

-Okay, Cham, Cham, Cham.

-[both laugh]

I won that round. I did.

-Ow. Hey.

-[laughing]

-Stop cheating! You can't hit me.

-How is that cheat Oh, no.

You see how I'm treated here? Gosh.

-Did I hurt you? You okay? Sorry.

-Why won't anyone get me unstuck?

[Joon-mo sighs]

Oh, God. Seriously?

If the surgery in the OR is running long

and it looks like it's gonna delay

my surgery,

why can't you take more initiative

and get another OR ready?

If you're incapable of booking an OR,

I don't understand why you're here

and why we pay you for it.

What is it?

You don't have any interest in these

surgeries since they're not Obstetrics?

Professor.

Or that you only care

if it's a rare obstetric case?

Hey, you didn't join OB/GYN, did you?

You must have only joined OB, huh?

Professor, enough!

Please stick to the issue.

The issue you were upset with

regarding the OR?

You're really piling it on.

You're not helping the situation.

I [scoffs]

-Sorry, but just who are you talking to

-Professor, enough!

You know I'm talking to you.

Let's not play games, please.

If someone has made an error,

they should be corrected.

However,

our line of work dictates common courtesy.

You should watch what you say.

Professor, the one who needs

some courtesy right now appears to be you.

[sniffles]

[sniffles]

You think I do this just for fun? Huh?

This is how you instruct

and guide residents, you buffoon.

What's with the name calling?

Who's the buffoon, huh?

Listen here!

How dare you scream at a resident

in public like that?

How dare you question her

as if she had malintent?

That's neither discipline nor guidance

as far as I'm concerned!

Now, I'm absolutely sure Dr. Kim fully

understands what her shortcomings are.

Isn't that right, Doctor?

[sniffling]

So, Professor, that's enough.

Of course.

Mm. I was about to say the same thing.

Anyway, there's no need for anger.

Let's keep things pleasant here, huh?

All right, then, I apologize.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Get back to work. Nothing more

to see here, all right? Yes? Good.

[sighs]

Dr. Kim, I'm sorry.

I couldn't hear.

Did you get an apology or not?

[inhales sharply]

Sorry, give me just a second, then.

[Sa-bi] Professor.

He did apologize.

I heard it. I did get an apology.

Thanks for your help.

Well, if you say so.

[sighs]

How could he speak to his senior

like that? In front of the kids, no less.

Ow! Hey, watch where you're

Uh, I do apologize.

But you're not hurt, are you?

I work here as one of the professors.

Yeah, and?

There are sick people here, Professor.

You should be careful.

Yes.

And I apologize. [clears throat]

Oh, I didn't swear at all, not once.

Okay. [laughing]

I don't raise my voice

at anyone anymore actually,

and I speak to people very courteously.

Oh, I'm really glad!

That's so good to hear.

Hey, it's wonderful to see you

with such a big smile on your face.

And when you smile, I can see you're

just a teddy bear kind of guy.

-You think?

-[both laugh]

-Oh, sorry, were you in a hurry?

-Just making rounds.

Your mom's recovery is going really well.

Her labs are looking good too.

-You really helped.

-Oh, no, it wasn't me!

Your smile is actually

the real source of her recovery.

Always a pleasure. [chuckles]

I really hope that you'll go on smiling.

-Okay?

-I will.

-Well, goodbye.

-Good, see you.

OB-GYN, OH JOO-YOUNG

[Do-won] Pyo Nam-kyung.

[slurps] Yes?

And Oh Yi-young.

Are you guys in some competition

to be the worst?

Neither of you has kept up

with the charting.

And Oh Yi-young,

you haven't done the birth certificates

or delivery records,

or any patients' discharge work.

Get that done.

Pyo Nam-kyung, you haven't written

admission notes for surgeries next week.

You need to know all of their details.

Understand?

I understand. I'm really sorry.

I'm going into surgery now,

so get those tasks done

and show me before you leave tonight.

Understood?

And I'll check every last detail,

so don't cut corners.

[both] Will do.

[sighs]

[telephone ringing]

Hello?

Sorry? Oh, yes, yes,

I'll go tell the professor immediately.

All right.

Hello, ma'am?

Ma'am, can you hear me? Ma'am?

-[EMT] Her hemoglobin count is 6.6.

-And her BP is falling.

-Pump more blood.

-Got it.

Wake up. Open your eyes for me?

Can you tell me your name? Hello, ma'am?

[man] Yulje EMS,

Hotel-Lima-nine-six-nine-seven,

six mile final, Yulje helipad.

CENTRAL EMC AIR AMBULANCE

We're here, ma'am.

-We're gonna move you.

-Lift the stretcher. One, two, three.

One, two, three.

She had a precipitous labor

and gave birth two hours ago.

PPH developed, a balloon tamponade

was placed, but bleeding isn't slowing.

Her BP dropped to 70/40 earlier.

It's 90/60 by our last measure.

She's had a unit of O-negative, and

a history of DDLT dating back seven years.

[gasps] Oh, ma'am, hey!

Try to open your eyes for me.

Ma'am, come on!

Head to the ER to get IV on the patient.

Then she'll be transferred into the OR.

Let's get her on a monitor

and assess her vitals right away.

-And grab the ultrasound for us.

-Will do.

[breathing heavily]

-Place a central line, now.

-Yes.

[gasping]

[Yi-young] Pyo Nam-kyung.

Pyo Nam-kyung.

Hey, Pyo Nam-kyung!

-Yi-young. [pants]

-Right, we need to do something fast.

Uh, I don't think I can. No, I can't.

-But we can't just stand here!

-[pants]

She's bleeding out.

-Hey!

-Huh?

-She's bleeding out.

-Yeah.

Bleeding means As soon as we notice it,

the next step is to quickly

-Just place the line.

-All right.

I started the Emergency Protocol.

TIME-SENSITIVE PROTOCOL FOR MANAGING PPH

Oh, nurse! Place a Foley catheter.

And next up is, uh

The oxytocin infusion, mix that now,

and carbetocin, do an IV push.

-Okay.

-[doctor] Are the labs being sent?

[nurse] They are right now, yes.

Doctor, the rapid infusion system,

can you start it?

Yeah.

-Open the IV all the way.

-[nurse] Doing it now.

-It's open.

-Pyo Nam-kyung.

[panting]

Hey, get it together!

Can't you tell I'm scared too?

Huh? Oh, yeah.

[pants] Balloon comes out first, okay?

All right.

-OR, please

-Oh, right.

This is Obstetrics, yeah.

Is there a prepped OR ready?

Please, it's an emergency,

hurry up! [panting]

-Oh, nurse.

-Yes?

I've contacted the blood bank. Meantime,

send two units of Universal O to the OR.

-We'll need more there. Be quick!

-Okay.

-Doctor, can you place an A-line as well?

-All right.

EMERGENCY MEDICINE

-Doctor.

-Yes?

The patient's marked down

as having a DDLT.

-What?

-Oh, my God, right.

Transplant team has to check lab results

to clear the patient to go into surgery.

They're not here right now.

-Uh

-[doctor] May I? Let me see that.

I work at Yulje Main.

I do Hepatobiliary there.

If I could? Thanks.

How long ago

did she get her liver transplant?

Oh, seven years ago. Then two years ago,

she also gave birth.

Yeah, her levels look really good.

Use antibiotics like you normally would.

-It's time for surgery to proceed now.

-All right.

There a chance of adhesion,

so try to be careful of that.

-Okay, come on.

-Oh. Thanks so much.

-Yeah, thank you.

-Raising the side rails.

We're moving out now.

Please clear the way for us!

[suspenseful music plays]

Oh, ma'am! Try to stay with us!

-Stay awake, please!

-I just feel so tired.

Stay awake! Just keep your eyes open!

-No, don't! [panting]

-No! You had your second child today.

It's your baby's birthday, she's waiting

for you. You need to take care of her!

Yes. [groans softly]

-Anesthesia.

-[resident] Starting now.

-The patient's multiparous?

-[Yi-young] Yes.

She gave birth two and a half hours ago,

and the baby is doing okay.

-How much blood loss?

-About 2,000cc so far, Doctor.

When we checked with a speculum in the ER,

we noticed active bleeding.

How much blood has she received?

One unit already on the chopper,

and she's on her third unit in total.

Two units of universal O

were prepped in advance,

and the blood bank has prepared ten units

of RBCs and five of FFP as well.

-[Jung-min] When will they be ready?

-[Yi-young] They need 20 minutes.

And have the CBC and DIC lab results

come back yet?

Yes, the labs sent from the ER

show a CBC of 6.2

and a platelet count of 90,000.

AST and ALT are both normal,

but PT and APTT [panting]

they seem to be prolonged, Professor.

Oh, and all other DIC labs

are still in progress.

Good work. That's very well done.

-Pyo Nam-kyung, you go scrub up first.

-[tearful whimpering]

-I can't do it.

-[sighs] Then you, Yi-young.

[panting]

You two are assisting. Get it together!

-The patient is

-You guys can leave.

-Wait, your surgery-

-It's all done.

Professor, the patient, she's really

Yes, I'm aware.

I'm looking at her right now.

Hey, we have no assistants here.

[Gi-sun] Yeah, seems to be the case.

I guess you're the only one

we can rely on now.

-[machine beeping]

-The BP is dropping. It's 70/40 now.

I'll keep up with the fluid volume.

Don't worry, start the surgery.

All right, then, guess we should begin.

[panting]

ANESTHESIA TIME, SURGERY TIME

Kelly scissors.

-I need another pair.

-[Jung-min] Here.

Metzenbaum.

And prep a one-zero tie.

Tie.

Cut.

-Administer the tranexamic acid, please.

-[Dong-h*] I'm on it.

Tonsil.

Right angle.

-Hold suction.

-[Yi-young] Yes.

[Nam-kyung] All right.

[hissing]

[panting]

[sighs]

I was worried the adhesion would be bad

due to the liver transplant,

-but the surgery's gone smoothly.

-Yes, it has.

What a relief.

So, what do you think?

There's no bleeding.

What else?

The patient

has been saved.

And now,

she can meet her baby.

[Jung-min] Not that sort of stuff!

She's lost 4,000cc of blood, but her

vitals are still holding stable right now.

Yes.

Her vitals are all normal, Doctor.

If you ask me, the surgery went very well.

[chuckles]

-[sighs]

-[Jung-min chuckles]

JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER

-Hey.

-What?

Go write the surgical record.

Why would I do that

when we have residents?

You really think they'll recall anything?

Thanks to us,

they came down off the cliff.

You're supposed to write it 'cause

you stepped in first to lead the surgery.

It's the assistant that writes it!

You came in to assist, right?

I was in too much shock

to really pay any attention okay?

Hey, you've been doing this too long

to get shocked.

-You always deal with hemorrhages.

-You're one to talk.

Hey, I saw your hands tremble earlier

and I thought,

"Ah, so this is what it means

to shake like a leaf."

If I were shaking,

I wouldn't have done a perfect surgery.

-Perfect according to who?

-[door opens]

-[door closes]

-[Jae-hui] Ladies.

Let's be pleasant, huh? Hmm?

Try something like this,

"You were so good in there."

"Oh, good job." "Wow, great work."

But, no, instead you're just at

each other's throats for 20 years now.

Goodness. This is all too sad.

I can't take it with you two!

-Gosh!

-[door closes]

-[sighs]

-[groans] Gosh.

-Great work, thanks. There, how's that?

-[scoffs] Whatever.

Ugh, I'm so sick of this.

[groans]

Gosh, those two.

[Sa-bi] Professor.

-Oh, dear, the surgery's finished.

-Sorry?

The Obstetrics emergency surgery.

-Oh, apparently, it went well.

-Ah.

Where are you going? Aren't you done?

I was going to assist your surgery.

It's a laparoscopy. Someone

has to hold the uterine manipulator.

Uh, I was going to head into surgery first

to put it in place

because the fellow said

they were going to be late.

I thought I'd do it.

I've already let the other fellow know.

Oh! No, it's okay. You can go home.

You've had a long day, huh?

Actually It's all right, go.

It's fine, I can manage

perfectly well by myself.

Oh.

I'm really fine, don't worry about it.

I'm fine too, and I'd like

to observe your surgery.

Oh, you're serious? You mean it?

Then would you like to take an RSO?

I'd love that! Thanks so much!

Oh, you would? Well, in that case,

uh, how about

Yes, Professor,

the patient's stabilized now.

I told the Air Ambulance team everything's

all right and passed on our team's thanks.

Yes, 'course, I'll check up on her.

All right, then.

-[Yi-young] What did you put?

-The patient info here.

You guys done?

Can we have some more time, please?

It's not that we didn't try,

we just couldn't, because

-There was this

-Yeah, I know.

The patient asked me

to send on her thanks.

She said one of you kept her awake

on the way,

and one reminded her to go see her child.

And I bet that's you.

You guys did really well today.

I know it must've been completely

terrifying, and difficult, and chaotic.

Now since the two of you

did such great work today [smacks lips]

I'm gonna finish these.

Sorry?

-Unless you don't want me to.

-Oh, no! That's not the case.

Get outta here

or I'll change my mind. So go on.

In three

-Okay. [laughs]

-Thanks a lot, bye!

Thanks a bunch!

["Sunny Day" by An Yu-jin playing]

[chimes]

[Yi-young] I'll see you in two hours.

[Jae-il] Aren't you hungry?

You haven't eaten all day.

[Sa-bi] I can barely walk

because I'm so hungry.

Yeah? Want some of this?

Someone gave me these. Here.

There are only two of them.

The others'll probably be hungry too.

Should you and I just

eat it ourselves in secret?

That seems selfish. Shouldn't we wait?

These are too famous to wait for.

Because they sell out, you can't get any

without a big line.

Even so.

-You saw them both arguing?

-Mm-hmm.

They need alone time.

They're ashamed to be seen apologizing.

Oh.

We need to give them privacy.

It's really all for their own good.

Is it?

Then we better

just go, huh?

So where should we eat?

Ah! The place I told you about!

Ah, that one?

Mm-hmm. It's gonna be empty now. Let's go.

[exhales] It's been so long,

I think I might've

-Maybe this isn't the right way.

-It's the right way.

If we go there, take a left, and then

just keep going, there are escalators,

and once we take those down,

we'll be in the lobby.

Song-hwa, your brain's amazing.

You know so much.

-There's a sign right there.

-Oh! [chuckles]

-Guess I missed that.

-[chuckles]

I was so captivated by you,

that explains it. [chuckles]

-Hey, you know

-Mm?

Being here at night, the outpatient clinic

seems a little scary.

-It's completely deserted.

-No, it isn't.

There's someone here.

Who else is here?

Stop messing with me. Nobody's here,

right? Seriously, stop with that!

It isn't anything scary.

I think there could be

bugs scampering around here.

Do you mean that? But this is a hospital.

Come on, there are no bugs.

I don't mean real bugs, come on.

I'm talking about couples

on secret dates.

Hmm.

With nowhere to go

and barely any time off,

they still have to go on dates.

So they come along searching

for the rare, empty places

the hospitals always have.

So what? Just where do they all go?

Emergency stairs? On-call area?

God, no! That's only if they want

to be found out.

Somewhere [gasps]

Wait, here?

[snaps fingers]

Exactly, yeah.

Appointments are done,

no patients, staff's gone home.

Oh.

They come here by night

to go on their little secret dates.

Still, professors could forget

something, and return to get it.

[gasps] Oh, my God.

-They swing the door open, hit the lights.

-Yeah?

Then something scuttles away,

as they disappear like bugs do.

So where do they hide?

They back up against the wall

or hide behind a door,

or they might even crawl under the desk

so they don't get caught.

[laughing]

Okay, but how

do you know all those details?

Must've had dates way back then.

-Well, it wasn't

-[squirts]

Hey, it was all Jun-wan, all right?

When he was a resident here. He'd do it

all the time, that's how I know.

I see.

-[chuckles]

-[inhales]

Think there are bugs here now?

Wait. Hey, what are you doing? Don't!

This isn't even our hospital. Quit it.

Hear anything?

[Ik-jun] I think I hear something. [blows]

-What's this? [knocks]

-[laughing]

-[Ik-jun] I thought I heard a knock.

-You're not hearing anything.

-There's nobody.

-Song-hwa, was it you knocking?

-Oh, you scared me!

-[chuckles]

Hey, let's go. I'll spare them for now.

Actually, I assume that kids these days

don't bother coming here.

I see them holding hands out in the open,

getting coffee and things.

That's barely scratching the surface,

don't you see?

Song-hwa, there are 520 kids

out on secret dates,

all in places just like this,

right this second.

-[chuckles]

-Here, see?

Stop it. What if there really is

someone there?

Look at that, you see it now?

Guess those days are all long over.

These MZers aren't like that

and you know it.

No, I think you're wrong.

I was busting plenty just last year.

I know they still use it.

Huh. I guess the bugs

really did disappear after all.

[chuckles] Wanna get something for dinner?

The guys want us to join them.

We're celebrating your discharge.

-They want ramyeon.

-Let's get gimbap on the way.

Wait, you told them?

Look, I really didn't mean

to tell anyone, okay?

They kept asking where we were,

and things sort of came out

[groans] If they know, the entire hospital

knows what an idiot I am.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Should've gone to our hospital

if everybody was gonna know.

I drove to Jongno, and now everybody knows

about it anyway.

-[groans]

-[laughs] I know.

Hey, are you really okay now, or not?

Nothing is okay, not at all!

I was praying for hours

with my hands stuck together,

and they nearly combusted. Feel this!

[laughs] Hey, that really was

such a lucky miss you had today.

Could you please be more careful?

[Ik-jun] I'm never going to hear the end

of this from those guys, am I?

[laughing]

Is this door supposed to be open?

What do you think?

-Should we close it behind us?

-[chuckles]

It's all right, they're gone.

Oh, God, those guys scared me.

Why did we hide in the first place?

Huh?

Why tell me to hide?

It's not like we aren't allowed in here.

Did I tell you to hide?

Yeah. You pushed me

under the desk without warning.

You sat next to me and went, "Shh!"

Just like that.

Oh. Did I?

Why did I do that?

Well, it's 'cause I was worried, uh

Oh, I thought we'd get scolded

for not working.

-We're done with work.

-That's right.

Wow, even in that moment,

you remembered every detail of what I did

just to criticize it.

Is it 'cause you're smart?

[door unlocks]

Hang on. Forgot my coat.

[Yi-young] Here.

-Streusel buns sound good to you?

-Yeah.

[Do-won] I'm so hungry.

-Are you?

-Aren't you?

-Yeah.

-Oh!

-[gasps]

-Oh, man, I got you. [laughing]

[chuckles]

Oh.

RESIDENT PLAYBOOK

[Nam-kyung] The two of them? Where?

-What the heck?

-[laughing]

-You're so cute.

-[Nam-kyung] Oh? Is it Dr. Ku?

This is insane! Come on! Trust me!

[Jae-il] Doctor, no need to worry. I pride

myself on loyalty above everything else.

I'm Yi-young's friend, Pyo Nam-kyung.

-Yi-young's

-[Yi-young] Stop it.

-[woman] All right, here we go again.

-Seong-chan.

You broke down in tears yesterday saying

he's your father, and today he's your son?

You shouldn't be touching this, sir!

Oh Yi-young!

I would like you to only focus

on your labor.

-What?

-[Eun-mi] No, she can't go.

The umbilical cord fell out!

Why don't you come here yourself?

What're you staring at?

Professor, I hope you recall

the request I made earlier?

If it's what the patient wants,

I have no choice.

-Move to the lead surgeon's spot.

-What?

[Jung-min] Will our department's legend

work on Oh Yi-young too?

[Yi-young] Where's Um Jae-il?

[Nam-kyung] Why would you go there?

Not like you're lovers.

Did Jae-il tell you that he likes you?

Are you guys dating?

Does he actually want us to date?
