RESIDENT PLAYBOOK
EPISODE 8
[monitor beeping]
Doctor, back in elementary school,
I dove head-first into a pool
and got hurt.
My incisors had broken on impact
at the bottom.
Right.
[Sa-bi] So these
are crowns that I have now.
And intubation can break crowns,
so I was told, so please be careful.
-We'll bear that in mind.
-I'm appreciative.
-Are you going to start now?
-Yes, I'm ready to start.
I don't feel ready.
Let me know when you're ready.
Anesthesia is ready to go.
[nurse] Yes, we're finishing up now.
Help me.
Get me out of here right now.
[tape rewinds]
Hey, if Pathology sent it back to you,
why didn't you summarize the results
and send it along?
-I know, I'm sorry.
-Where's the cervical cancer data?
I was going to email it to you today.
Good, get it done.
It includes all the new subjects,
doesn't it?
Oh, well, it [pants]
Well, it's supposed to, right?
[groans] Come on! [tuts]
Uh, just include those
and send it tomorrow.
You need it that soon?
Yeah, of course.
I'll need it tomorrow for it to be
included in the other research.
Hey, why are you Hey!
Excuse me! Over here!
Hey, Sa-bi! Kim Sa-bi! Hey,
what's going on? Hey, Sa-bi, look at me!
[sucks in breath]
Okay
Well, it looks like
You'll need to undergo surgery.
-Surgery?
-A laparoscopy?
Is it serious?
-How large is the fibroid?
-Wait, it's not malignant, is it?
Man, it's pretty big.
Professor.
Uh, just excuse me, guys.
-Oh, hello.
-Hello.
What, nobody's busy?
The labs are back,
and her hemoglobin count is 6.2,
so I ordered two units of RBCs to start.
Oh, no.
Lately, you were feeling very dizzy, yes?
Anesthesia said they have
a cancellation tomorrow in OR 3,
so what should we do?
What should we do?
Hmm? Miss R1's opinion?
We should go ahead, the fibroid's large.
Let's do the surgery.
It's big enough to be seen
on an abdominal ultrasound.
That's pretty huge, right?
It must've hurt.
Of course it hurt! She's been complaining
of really bad period cramps for ages!
This is why I said
you better be examined right away!
[sighs] And the painkillers you took
made it worse.
Why would you take painkillers
when you're anemic?
Exactly! She learns
other people's charts by heart
Yet still messes up on her own health.
Guys, choose sympathy or flak, okay?
Just pick one.
She already feels bad enough
because she can't work.
-[both] Hello.
-Hello, Doctor.
I don't need to explain things, right?
-Have you fasted?
-She has. And barely anything to drink.
She's not on any medication,
and she signed the forms.
And then I'm her contact.
Sa-bi's keeping the surgery from her mom
so it doesn't stress her out.
[Eun-mi sighs] Great.
Well then.
Doctor, can we stay?
-Just till she goes under?
-No, you can't.
You'll cause trouble for the rest of us.
Just this once? She told me she's afraid.
She sees this type of operation
all the time. Why is she scared?
Whatever, I'll handle this, all right?
Let go, get outta here!
-Wait
-I said beat it! Just go. God!
Seriously, just leave, get going!
What is with you guys?
Come back to us healthy,
[dramatic song playing]
[sighs] Here. You know how to put it on?
-Pyo Nam-kyung.
-I'm assisting, I forgot to tell you.
Oh.
-Why you?
-Me? I'm on call.
-What about Dr. Ki?
-Obstetric surgery.
-Dr. Ku, he's busy?
-In the delivery room.
-Hey.
-Or Oh Yi-young?
She's good at suturing. Huh?
Hey! Oh Yi-young!
Oh Yi-young!
What's wrong?
Nothing. Hearing things, I guess.
-Sa-bi's gonna get through this, right?
-Of course she is.
It's a routine surgery.
[Dong-h*] Administering anesthesia.
[theme music playing]
RESIDENT PLAYBOOK
[sighs] Jeez.
[Eun-mi] What is it?
What are you unhappy about now?
[chuckles]
It's nothing.
-It's just
-Mm.
If you're an R1,
shouldn't you come in a bit earlier,
to do pre-rounds first thing?
They can fill in their seniors before
all the professors come in for rounds.
Wouldn't that be nice?
They're so clueless, I mean, seriously.
We should be grateful
they show up to begin with.
-You're right, yeah.
-[both chuckle]
Yeah, but I don't know.
Doesn't it feel like
something's off today?
-So you feel it too?
-Yeah.
I did the hand off,
so I don't know what it is.
Kim Sa-bi's getting operated on today.
No, I think it's something else.
What time is it?
Oh!
Huh? He's missing!
Huh. Wow, he's really not here.
-Who isn't?
-Dr. Ku Do-won.
Huh?
Oh, you're right!
Wait a second. Where is he?
Rain or shine, he's always
He's never late. I wonder where he is.
You think he's okay?
Could he be sick? [gasps]
How about some music?
Go ahead, Bluetooth's already connected.
Great.
-[soft music playing]
-I just realized something.
You always leave at 4:30
in the morning before me.
You're late. What's going on with you?
[Do-won] Oh.
I overslept, that's all.
[gasps] You overslept?
I didn't know you did that!
[chuckles]
Just as well, given the amount
of stuff you have.
They keep us trapped at work.
There's no time to do laundry at home.
[sighs] I can see why
we're called residents, now, I guess.
We live at the hospital.
No point in having your own place.
-Not like you have one.
-[gasps]
I did have a place once.
I paid them upfront. It was nice too!
I always wondered what you did with it,
the deposit you got back.
It went toward a good cause.
Well, so what about
the clinic job you quit?
It was a combination of different factors.
And, uh, there's your overdraft account.
[gasps] I brought it down this month,
I'm in the 20s.
Down to negative 29,708,000.
Nice! Good for you!
-Why are you asking me about this?
-Sorry?
We've lived in the same house for a year.
Why the sudden curiosity?
Oh, I didn't ask earlier?
Are you worried?
What?
-You think I'm trying to borrow money?
-[chuckles]
-What money would I even have to lend you?
-[chuckles]
[gasps] Pull over.
I have a really quick errand to run.
-It won't take long.
-Sure.
-I won't be long.
-Take your time.
[cell phone ringing]
HAM DONG-h*
REJECT ACCEP
HAM DONG-h*
I got this for you.
I made sure there's plenty of sauce.
Oh, thank you.
I was literally dreaming about this.
I'll eat it a little later.
Oh, Sa-bi, I heard you had
some nausea from
a bad reaction to the PCA this morning.
Are you okay?
[groans] Yes.
-Hey, Nam-kyung.
-Yes?
When they changed my dressing, I noticed
that the wound looks like
it's gaping slightly on this side here.
What?
Hang on, it's not! You saw it wrong
since you're still dizzy.
[smacks]
[sighs] All right, I'll get
a few Steri-Strips for you later.
So I was right?
You half-assed the sutures?
What do you take me for? Come on, really?
Sabi-sabi! How are you?
Wow, you were snoring this morning!
You're loud!
I don't snore!
Jae-il, where's the NSAID?
Did you place the order?
Oops, forgot.
[groans] I'm seriously
in a lot of pain, you know!
The PCA has stopped working,
so can't you hurry up?
Goodness, you poor little thing.
I'll do it later, all right?
-Forget it. I'll go do it now.
-I'll call Ju-yeon now. Just stay there.
-Did you get a new phone?
-Yeah.
It's like, out with the old,
in with the new.
-Hence, a new phone.
-Can you order the NSAID
You broke up with that guy, is that it?
For real this time, huh?
Yeah, it's over for good now.
Our chats, his number,
and all our photos. I deleted it all.
What even was his number?
Seriously. I can't even recall it now.
Are you sure you're the one who ended it?
I think he broke up with you.
[scoffs]
-Wait, so, your boyfriend ditched you?
-[groans] Please put the order
Hey, are we back in high school?
And nobody said that's how it went down!
You guys never dated anybody.
Quit acting like you know.
Right, forget it. Just get out.
Get out of here.
Fine, I gotta work, anyway.
Just before I go, let me see you do this.
Quit it, my lungs are good to go.
And it isn't necessary at our age.
-Just do it. We need to make sure.
-Yeah, come on, try.
[inhales]
Whoa, pretty good!
So how's your digestion?
-Do you have any gas?
-[Sa-bi] No.
So can you just go?
Guys, please, just go.
[groans, farts]
[farts]
-Gas out.
-Sounds like it works, though.
Seems all right, yeah.
-Bye.
-I didn't do it.
I didn't do that!
-[exhales]
-[Sa-bi] It wasn't me!
[both exhale]
Guys, I'm gonna pick what's for lunch.
See ya in a bit.
-[cell phone ringing]
-Oh.
Yes, Professor?
Oh, you mean now?
Oh, sure. Yeah,
I'll get some balloons ready.
All right.
Hey, Professor Seo needs
a Hundred Days cake, ASAP, okay?
You mean for, like, a baby?
[groans] Such a drag.
Hey, aren't you coming?
I set everything up.
[Nam-kyung] What do you mean you set
everything up? Where are you?
At the NICU, of course, with the cake.
Where is everyone?
[Nam-kyung] Ah, Jeez,
we aren't having it there!
How come?
[sighs]
[all] Happy One Hundredth Day to you! ♪
-[all cheer]
-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.
-[chuckles]
[blows]
Goodness.
You've been admitted to the hospital now
for 100 days.
Great work holding on
to your pregnancy this long.
This is really kind of you,
but is this really something
worth celebrating?
Of course it is.
The entire pregnancy is a chance
to celebrate, don't you think?
You've been stuck here with us instead of
at home, with your family around you.
It's the least we can do for you.
You're sure, then? [chuckles]
Well, I suppose, that there have been
a lot of ups and downs
amongst all the patients I've seen
over the last 100 days.
Since I got to this point
without any major issues,
I guess there's really no harm
in celebrating, is there?
-[all chuckle]
-It means so much.
-So, did you make a wish?
-Yes.
I wished that our child will come out
strong and healthy,
no matter what.
I'll stay here for 1,000 days
if I have to.
It's really hard,
being trapped in here, huh?
Must be quite a bother for you.
You know, I was here for 80 days when
I gave birth to my twins two years ago.
I know how it goes,
so I'm all right, really.
However, what I do miss,
is spending time with my girls,
San and Deul.
Ah. Hold on a couple more weeks.
Maybe we'll plan a party again just to
Hang on, we'll celebrate the birth
by then!
[laughs] All right.
Ah, I can share the cake with the other
patients in the room if you want.
-Let's just eat it by ourselves.
-Do you think?
The other ladies are still pretty recent.
They're all still reserved.
Ah.
[cell phone ringing]
[gasps]
Oh, hello, San and Deul!
-[laughs]
-[girls] Mommy!
Did you rest well? Breakfast yet?
-[girls] We ate snacks!
-What?
That's not much of a breakfast!
You guys are silly! [laughs]
-[girl] Where are you, Mommy?
-Oh. See the doctors?
-[girls] Hello, doctors.
-[both laughing]
Hey! It's here!
-I bought tteokbokki, everyone!
-All right, put it down here
-Smells so good.
-It looks so good!
What took so long?
I was about to die of starvation.
-Whoa!
-[squeals softly]
Oh, I'm excited!
-So you got two, right?
-[sniffs] Ah!
This is the scent!
I had cake earlier but this smells
amazing. I have to eat it.
The cake just makes you
want tteokbokki more, doesn't it?
Sweet and savory at the same time.
Don't you feel bad for Sa-bi right now?
Since this is her favorite?
-Who cares? We'll buy it again.
-Yeah, exactly.
Yo, Um Jay, you brought
your topping game, right?
Heck yeah, I did! Sa-bi taught me right!
Cheese to the window!
-[both] Ay!
-Sausage to the wall!
-[both] Ay!
-Till the
[Sa-bi] Extra glass noodles!
[ominous organ music plays]
16TH KOREAN SOCIETY OF OB-GYN
AUTUMN SYMPOSIUM
16TH OBGYN AUTUMN SYMPOSIUM
Weren't we supposed to get some
when I got discharged?
[groans]
No, I told you!
Add some fish cake
on top of the rice ball.
That's right.
Yeah, wrap the cheese
around the rice cake, then sausage next.
[gasps] Mm!
Mm! This is seriously so good!
-Mm!
-Why are you walking around?
I'm so bored,
I had to get out for a while.
You're bored?
Really? How come?
I don't think I can rest anymore.
It's only been one day
since you had surgery.
Hey, Yi-young, 100 days back,
they admitted Miss Ji Yeon-du.
How'd you know?
I just opened some patient charts
since I'm bored.
She's at 32 weeks and one day today.
That's how I know how long it's been
since she was admitted.
That's why we had a party for her earlier.
Right.
Has her cervix been stable so far?
Mm-hmm, the medication helped with that.
Her EBW?
Normal EBW.
Yesterday's sono said 1,900 grams,
I believe.
-Amniotic fluid looks good?
-Yeah, I checked earlier.
If you wanna quiz me, I'll go nap
while you do the ultrasound.
-Yeah, go do that.
-I wish they'd let me do it.
Hey! Dip the whole rice ball
in the sauce! Do it right!
Why not just eat some, then, bossy?
You'll end up bitter this way.
-Can I have a bite, then?
-Stop it. Have this instead.
Mm.
-[Jung-min] Oh, ma'am?
-[patient] Yes?
[Jung-min] Have you been in this position
all this time?
No wonder you have pins and needles.
You've laid on your left arm
for days on end.
Professor, I did tell her
to lie on her back,
but she told me she didn't want to do it.
Some women can faint from hypotension
if they're pregnant
and lie on their back, I read.
You pretty much told me
you didn't know if it was true.
Compression of the vessels
can occasionally occur,
but you shouldn't worry, because
that only happens in the third trimester,
when the uterus is large and heavy.
Lying on your left arm could help then.
Oh.
Oh.
You likely read about that, I'd guess.
Right, Dr. Oh Yi-young?
Yes.
So please don't worry.
You're free to lie on your back.
Are you sure?
I can lie on my back, then? Really?
Yes.
But if you get to a point
where you shouldn't,
please trust me to tell you.
[groans softly]
Gosh, sounds like someone read
the same blog post as I did.
Twins, right?
Judging from your size, week 24?
Uh, yeah.
So twins, and pregnant about 24 weeks,
fainting, left side.
Yeah, the article that comes up on
the Internet when you use those keywords,
was it MeowMom? Or no, TigerMom.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's TigerMom.
I saw that article two years back,
and ended up
laying on my left side for days.
I thought I'd lose my hand.
[laughs]
The professor told me the same exact thing
she just told you, too.
So then I laid on my back, and you know,
everything turned out fine.
Ah, that's right, you did ask that.
That's how I knew that story, huh?
-[chuckles]
-[Jung-min] She carried them for 35 weeks.
The twins were born healthy
and strong here at 2.9 kilos each.
Such little cuties.
They really were?
Uh
[groans]
[yelping]
Oh, my arm. [winces]
Ow! [sighs]
I'm a little bit jealous.
You seem to trust Miss Yeon-du's
medical opinions more than ours.
Oh, it's not that, no!
It's not that at all!
It's just, since she's gone through it,
maybe that's why I trust her.
If you're ever worried about something,
just come to me.
I am quite a pro,
so don't hesitate to ask. [chuckles]
"Let me ask the professor."
Or just, "Sorry, let me go double-check."
Never tell a patient "I don't know,"
do you hear me?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Oh Yi-young,
you're not scared of me anymore.
Is that it?
Not true. I'm afraid of you.
It's just that, in this instance,
I was more afraid of my ignorance. Sorry.
Oh, so is that all it takes
to make a resident scared?
Let me offer this as a solution, then.
Pardon?
Starting from today,
please study one chapter of Williams
and then email a detailed summary
to me each and every day.
You can count on me quizzing you daily.
That may give you the courage
to answer my questions.
-[sighs] Professor, please.
-[Jung-min] What?
You'll begin today.
You better hurry and study.
[thuds]
[sighs] Dang it! Why?
[patient] Oh, excuse me, Doctor?
[sighs heavily]
[sighs]
Oh, I was wondering
about my cervical length,
and if everything was looking all right
to you in this morning's ultrasound?
Right. I forgot to tell you.
I should've told you this morning.
The length has been holding steady.
It hasn't changed in three days.
Oh.
All right.
The umbilical cord has good circulation.
Sorry, Doctor, um,
you're in my face.
Oh.
Too close for comfort.
I saw the Professor do this,
so I thought I'd try.
[chuckles]
Gosh, don't bend so much,
or else you might end up stuck down here.
Huh? Ah, yes.
-[chuckles hesitantly]
-[Yeon-du chuckles]
It's just that
we're mostly lying down here
since it's so hard to sit up
at this point.
-She likes maintaining eye contact.
-Oh, I see.
Anyway, everything's normal.
No need to worry.
I appreciate that a lot.
[Dong-h*] I get that you're tired,
but it's still rude, right?
Not responding to the message I sent you
this afternoon, don't you think?
[gasps] Oh, I'm sorry. I totally forgot.
I was busy, I'm sorry.
I asked if you were free
to grab dinner tonight.
I've got call duty tonight.
[huffs] Look, we've been trying
to make time for three weeks now.
-Has it really been that long?
-Yes.
Let's, um, maybe try this Friday.
How's that?
On Friday? Let's see, uh
Yeah, I don't have plans then,
and I'm not on call.
Really? You can go?
Yeah.
Okay then, so Friday means
three more days.
Yeah, sure.
Where should we meet?
What's your favorite food?
Oh, for me? I like everything.
[elevator dings]
Me too. It's easier to go somewhere close.
[both] Hello.
Hello.
Dr. Ham, what brings you here?
Oh, epidural, earlier today.
Ah. Ah.
JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL
Getting in?
Oh.
Oh, we're still talking at the moment,
so, we'll let you go first.
I'll be there in just a minute.
All right.
Okay, I'll get us a reservation
at a place nearby.
Oh Yi-young
Actually, never mind. See you soon.
HAM DONG-h*
YOU DO HAVE A DAY WHEN YOU'RE FREE, RIGHT?
Ah, hang on a sec.
DON'T FORGET FRIDAY!
YOU'RE OKAY WITH ANYTHING?
I'LL MESSAGE YOU
ONCE I HAVE THE PLACE
[inhales]
[clears throat]
Could I just get your opinion
on something?
It's for a friend.
[snorts]
A friend?
Sorry.
I do have a friend,
she works at an office.
Let's say you do.
So what? She sick or something?
No.
She says some guy keeps asking her
to dinner.
They did a surgery together Uh, no.
Just some project together, I guess she
must've done the guy a solid or something.
-He must be grateful.
-Oh, he likes her.
She already likes another guy, though.
Should she plan to accept or not?
-She should go.
-Better skip it.
Believe me, what he's doing,
is asking your friend out on a date.
Hang on, how is that asking her on a date?
He's not. Right?
It's a thank you
since she helped him out with work.
Can't coworkers grab a meal together?
Should I Uh, sorry.
-Should she do it?
-Yes.
Don't screw it up by saying, "I can't
go out because I like another guy," okay?
You'd be completely embarrassed, then.
Just go and get some dinner with him.
And on the off chance
he talks about liking you,
by all means, then you can tell him
about the other guy.
-You think?
-[Nam-kyung sighs]
Ah. Everyone watches too many dramas.
Liking someone, having a crush,
confessing love, and all the rest of it?
Those things don't just happen
all the time.
Not like on TV, you know?
They actually happen very rarely.
[groans] What's gotten into you now?
What, you have a blind date
this early in the day?
No, it's not quite a date,
but I'm getting treated to breakfast.
By who?
My first love.
Today? Seems sudden.
Where?
[both] Who is this?
My private tutor in high school.
I was totally head-over-heels.
I actually went to med school
just to follow her.
She's a doctor?
In our hospital? Damn.
No way.
If she were, I could never handle it.
I even told her that I liked her.
She said once I'm in college,
girls like her would be everywhere,
so I should just focus
on my studies instead.
I'm still in love with her.
-Well, tell us about her.
-Hmm.
She's my every dream.
At first, she sort of comes across
as cold and distant
in her attitude and how she speaks to you.
Then you see her beautiful smile.
And the two things she loves the most
are studying hard, and spicy tteokbokki.
[chuckles] It's pretty adorable, right?
Huh.
Don't we know someone like that here?
We do.
-It's Kim Sa-bi, right?
-Uh huh!
-What?
-[Sa-bi] Hey!
Get up and moving already, guys!
When are the hand-off
and pre-rounds getting done?
Hey, those two are nothing alike.
How can you even think that way?
Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
What was that? Where's he going?
-[cell phone ringing]
-He said to meet his love.
[Nam-kyung] Hello?
Hospital? What?
Uh, so So what are you doing?
Hey, hold on a minute.
Okay.
-What is it?
-Hong Gi-dong?
Teach
Noona!
So what are you doing here?
Did you come here specifically
to get breakfast with yours truly?
[scoffs] I didn't.
I needed to see my professor
for my dissertation review.
Ah.
I got here a little early, and I knew.
You always ask me to stop over
and say hi, so I did.
So I was one of the reasons you're here!
Mm-hmm. Well, we've been wanting
to make some time to chat.
Yeah.
So how are you, then?
Has resident life been hard?
-You coping?
-Yeah, it's been really hard.
How do I do this for four years, Noona?
It's "Doctor."
So don't say "Noona." It's "Doctor" now.
Yes.
Doctor.
[chuckles]
It wasn't that long ago that you were
whining about your failing grades.
So it's a big shock to be seeing you
in a white coat.
Hmm.
And I only made it because of you.
HI-BOYZ disbanded,
then for two years, you tutored me
until a med school finally said yes.
Without that help from you,
I wouldn't be a doctor.
Me, too.
If you hadn't paid your tutoring money,
I wouldn't have made it to graduation.
[sighs]
You remember?
When I once told you you were
my first love? I confessed to you?
You did? Weird. I don't remember.
That was a long time ago.
More than ten years, right?
Eat something.
You bugged me to buy you food.
This wasn't exactly
what I thought we'd do.
Can you take me out again another time?
Not in my scrubs, in my real clothes.
Well, you can go put on your clothes
and come back here.
You're messing around, aren't you?
-[chuckles]
-Aren't you?
Yeah. You could tell, huh?
I guess my poker face needs work.
-[sighs]
-[cell phone ringing]
PEDIATRICS
AHN JEONG-WON
[chuckles] One minute.
Hey.
No, not yet.
Yeah, just doing breakfast with a friend.
It's okay, my surgery's
not until 4:00 today.
[chuckles] Of course,
I'll be there when I can.
See you.
-Something you need to do?
-Oh, no.
But you said you have a surgery, right?
Oh, that was my boyfriend calling.
We're having lunch together later,
and he was asking when I'll head over.
Oh.
Your boyfriend, who is he?
-Well, he's someone you don't know.
-It must be recent, huh?
-We've dated awhile.
-[hesitates]
Why wouldn't you tell me sooner?
Why would I have been talking
about this with you?
Ah, jeez.
How come you
Why treat me to breakfast and all this?
[scoffs]
Because
Because we're two old friends.
Oh, jeez, God.
[chuckles]
Aw, when will you grow up, huh?
[chuckles] Jae-il.
[indistinct announcement over PA]
[sighs]
How's your first love? You met with her?
Yes, and now we have parted ways.
Why was she here?
For her doctoral
Hey, just go and rest
in your bed, will you?
You're in pain, right?
I am, yeah. A lot of pain.
How come you're trying to find
some work, then?
Well, resting all the time
is too boring to handle.
All right, then, work.
You can get to work, just stop
telling patients the surgery is painful.
Come on, Sa-bi, you're panicking the ward.
But I just told them the truth.
I can't lie about the pain.
[sighs] Okay.
And now as a patient,
I see we've been lying.
Who says laparoscopy is painless?
Of course there's pain.
And we call it simple? What a joke.
It's a surgery with general anesthesia.
Oh, and also,
stop teasing us just 'cause we can't pee.
We don't like Nelaton either!
Wow. You learned from being sick, huh?
-Are you beginning to understand?
-What?
-Oh, feelings?
-No.
About your head being itchy
when you don't wash. [snorts]
I've never seen you
with dirty hair before. [sniffing]
Mm, I know the scent well.
Such a human smell, huh?
-I washed, okay!
-[chuckles] If you say so.
Hey, that's my room.
There's nobody else in there.
YOON - ATTENDING DOCTOR: KI EUN-MI
KIM - ATTENDING DOCTOR: UM JAE-IL
It's as I explained at your appointment.
It appears the mass on your ovary
is quite likely to be benign,
based on the size and shape.
Judging from the ultrasound we took,
it also appears that this growth
is just a simple cyst, so be assured
there isn't much cause for concern
about this, miss.
Oh. You still think, though,
that you should
take the ovary out entirely,
even though you said not to worry?
[Jae-hui] Yes.
Since you're in menopause, then the ovary
and the fallopian tube, in your case,
don't serve a function at this point, so I
think it's better to just take it all out.
That's the best way to reduce the risk
of any potential problems
that could come along. It's for the best.
Oh, I see.
The surgery will also be much simpler
than if we were to only excise the cyst
and nothing else.
So, please don't worry.
Oh, yes, this is such a great hospital,
I know that.
And you have all these wonderful doctors,
so I know it'll turn out fine. [chuckles]
No way.
You're our resident's mother, am I right?
[patient chuckles]
Why'd you do this?
How come you didn't tell us?
Uh, well, you see,
I only found out a little while ago.
-I'm sorry.
-Don't be silly.
I'm so excited to meet you.
Why didn't you mention it
during your out-patient consultation?
I didn't want to bother her at all.
She's just so busy at work.
I wasn't going to come because I didn't
want to add to her busy schedule,
but then I thought, "I can have my surgery
here at the hospital where she works."
And there was a discount!
[all laugh]
Welcome in, ma'am.
-Welcome.
-Thanks.
-I'm very glad you chose us.
-Thank you. [chuckles]
It was the right choice.
Take care of Nam-kyung for me, Doctor.
[mutters] Just stop it.
Her dad spoils her rotten. He treats her
like a princess when she's around.
[laughing]
So I don't know how well she manages
when she comes in to work.
-[all laughing]
-[feigns laughter]
Oh, I hope she doesn't make
too much trouble for you!
Royal Highness, we're proud to serve you.
[all laughing]
Stop it, please, stop it.
What? Come on.
[whispering] "Princess" sounds right.
[snorts]
-[laughter continues]
-Stop it.
Is everything still going all right?
Yes, there's no bleeding.
The baby's fine, so please try
not to worry, all right?
Oh, thank God.
Oh, another thing, Doctor,
my sleep has been really awful lately.
I always wake up every hour
like clockwork,
so, can something be done for that?
Oh, the medications we use for pregnancy
are limited,
so, no, I can't prescribe
any sleeping pills.
Hmm. I know all that, Doctor.
But lack of sleep can't be good
for the baby either.
What options are there besides
a bunch of pills?
You can try to move some more.
I think that might be good.
Maybe because you're in bed
Mm, but what if it makes contractions
start up? I wouldn't want that.
Oh, walking around and contractions
aren't related. It's perfectly fine.
This time you actually know the answer?
Yes. And I'm sure.
But I'm not sure how we can help you
get more sleep. I'm sorry.
Actually, I'll ask the professor
about some tips, okay?
[Yeon-du] With placenta previa
and spotting on top of that,
it's no surprise that you can't sleep.
And it's all because you have too many
thoughts and worries and concerns,
swirling around inside your head all day.
If you'd like to relax, I have something
calming that helps me if you want it.
No, you can't, please.
No medications unless
the medical staff say so.
[chuckles]
When we're plagued with too many thoughts,
activity can certainly help,
but even getting up makes us nervous,
so a good solution is
to just use our fingers and move around
with them instead. [chuckles]
I've already made 500 paper cranes so far.
[gasps]
Folding cranes
really makes you sleep better?
Of course.
And the clinical trials are all concluded.
I'm a living example that it works.
That means so much, thanks.
If you still can't sleep,
let me know right away, okay?
I have a couple more methods you can try.
[chuckles]
[sighs contentedly]
Oh, uh, Miss Ji. I need your help.
The professor's gonna get here any second,
but since I'm almost out of time now,
could I ask your opinion?
Lee Bo-ryeong seems to be, uh,
experiencing constipation,
but she's been refusing laxatives.
Ah, some constipation?
All you need
is prune juice.
I get it here, and this place
is proven safe. Trust me on it.
And they'll bring it to the hospital lobby
if you place an order.
Tell her to try this.
Right. That's great, thank you.
Oh, do you think
that it's okay if I try some too?
Yes. Trust me on this.
Completely.
[indistinct chatter]
Ladies, I have an incredible
piece of advice.
This will solve the problem instantly.
I actually need some too.
Wanna do a group order?
JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
[Nam-kyung] You come here
for secret appointments
and don't even tell me
you're booked in for surgery.
I just didn't want to make you worry.
Obviously, I was gonna find out.
There's no way I wouldn't discover
that my own mother is here.
All right, I know. I'm sorry.
I already said sorry.
[sighs]
Mom, your surgery's early,
so start fasting at midnight to be ready.
Mm-hmm, they already told me
all the details before.
No, listen, they might end up cancelling
if you eat something,
then everybody's time
will have been wasted!
I said I understand
-Also
-Huh?
Please don't bother the nurses.
Just leave everyone alone.
And the professors too.
Never bother them, I beg you.
Just what am I going to say, anyway?
Come on, just keep quiet, please, Mom.
Just come to me.
And don't tell everybody here
about every embarrassing thing!
I work here, all right?
Yes, all right, I know. You don't have to
go on repeating the same
[sighs]
Did you eat a big meal?
Tell me what you ate.
I got something on the go.
-Why something on the go?
-I don't have time to eat.
No proper meals?
It's proper meals that keep
your immune system running.
-I saw that on Dongchimi the other day.
-All right, I know.
Since you're here, please,
take some dumplings with you.
-I brought lots so you could share.
-[groans] Mom, later, later.
Hey, people go mad for dumplings
from our restaurant.
They're great.
Mom wait, nobody wants dumplings.
[cell phone chimes]
-Oh, my God, I gotta go.
-Have one before you go.
-Mom, don't do this now!
-Here, a bite. Just one bite.
Ugh, Mom! I don't want dumplings now!
I'm working, I'm too busy! Can't you stop?
[sighs in exasperation]
You're so angry.
-So angry.
-[tuts]
God, don't get upset.
I said I didn't want it, all right?
I heard you!
You'll visit when you're done
with work, right?
Yeah.
When's that? How long?
Maybe you'll want dumplings steamed?
I can wait for you.
-I don't know. I just need to go now.
-All right, go, go.
-Hey, Mom.
-Huh?
-Seriously, don't talk to anybody.
-I won't.
-And don't talk about me!
-I won't!
-I gotta go.
-Go, go, go.
[laughs]
Hey, your father wants to come here
for Chuseok. He called earlier today.
-Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.
He said it's way easier than you
and Yi-young traveling to him.
I don't mind.
Did you keep it a secret?
What?
Did you keep it secret,
that I started treatment up again?
I didn't tell, no. So stop worrying.
Why, when it would upset the poor guy?
-That's good.
-Mm.
Hey, last night,
why did you wake up crying?
Ah.
I dreamed again.
It was that day, you know?
Ah, that was the day
you couldn't stop crying.
Mm-hm.
This time, I kept dreaming
that I was crying.
[inhales sharply] I could hardly breathe,
like my throat had completely closed,
and then I woke up
without being able to even cry out.
Remember that day?
Yeah, of course I do. I saw Yi-young
cry that day for the first time ever.
-You saw her cry?
-Just outside the room. Sure, I saw her.
[scoffs]
Wasn't she all over me for crying
at the time?
What a weirdo.
Ah. Oh.
-[alarms ringing]
-Hmm.
[sighs]
[sighs]
Doctor, a jab if you would, please.
FOLLITROPIN
[groans, sighs]
Here we go again, huh?
[inhales sharply] Here goes, yeah.
God, I hope this is the last time
we have to do all this.
[inhales sharply, sighs] Please.
All right, then, Miss Oh Joo-young,
please take a seat here.
Okay.
And I'll try to do this painlessly,
all right? Just for you.
[breathes deeply] All right.
First up, disinfect the area.
Yes, Doctor.
JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
-Nam-kyung did?
-Uh-huh.
In junior high,
she was always so busy studying,
she didn't get a chance to hang out
with her friends all that often.
On field trips and sports days too,
she would usually head out on her own.
Hey, you'd say if I was talking
too much, right?
You're not. This has been fun.
It's not like the Nam-kyung I know
at all from work.
[chuckles]
Well, I think
she went off to college, that's where
she got more extroverted.
I'm pretty sure she'd say
it was the surgery she got
that really changed things the most
for her.
-Surgery?
-Yes.
-She had her nose
-[Nam-kyung] Filler!
Oh, for God's sake! It was filler,
not surgery, Mother!
-I explained that, hush!
-[Miss Yoon] Jesus Christ, I could
[groans] You know where
you needed work done?
On that temper of yours, not on your nose!
Goodness sake!
I told you a hundred times
it was filler, not surgery!
[Miss Yoon] Gosh, who could possibly
put up with that temper?
No wonder she's never had a boyfriend.
-She'll be single forever.
-Sorry?
She's never dated like the other girls
and she won't let us arrange anything.
She might never get a husband
at this rate.
That's not true. Nam-kyung
dated Gi-dongdong-
Hey, Kim Sa-bi, get some sleep.
Make sure you're well as soon as possible.
I'm sure you wanna get back to work.
Go to bed.
[Miss Yoon chuckles]
You know, I really think
I turned out to be lucky.
I have a great daughter whose friends
are all nurses and doctors.
Plus, I even got to talk to one of
her friends all night long. [chuckles]
[yawns, groans]
[Miss Yoon] I told you to go home
and sleep.
I don't know why you kept telling me
you'd stay here instead.
It's 'cause I couldn't be bothered to go.
But you said there's a bed in a room
you use somewhere.
Whatever. I'm tired. You should try
to sleep while you can, all right?
[Sa-bi snoring]
The doctor said
that the surgery they're going to do is
quite minor. Isn't that what he said?
Wrong, there's no such thing
as minor surgery.
Oh! Oh, my God, she's
[groans]
Tomorrow's a minor thing.
Or else how could I rest right now?
Could I sleep if things were bad?
Hey, you're not gonna come in
to join the surgery or anything?
-You're not, are you, honey?
-No, I can't.
I have to do another surgery then.
I'm stuck because you didn't give me
any warning about your surgery.
No, that's all right. Don't come sit in.
I'll go all the way to the OR
with you, though. Don't be scared.
[chuckles softly]
Of course I'm not scared.
[yawns] I'm just really sleepy, now, okay?
Maybe we should get some sleep.
Close your eyes, now, close your eyes.
Good night, honey.
Good night.
[horns honking]
What was that?
Hey!
Some workaholic demon's got you. Go away.
Everybody's busy.
I shouldn't cause work for anyone.
[sighs]
I'm POD three, but still on mucolytics.
It doesn't make much sense.
I think we can DC that now.
Why not just be discharged, Sa-bi?
I'd like that too, but apparently,
Professor Jo said I couldn't.
Your attending is Professor Ryu.
Yeah, he is. Still,
I guess Professor Jo said
my latest hemoglobin level was low,
so I'm stuck here for now.
He examined your chart?
What's going on here?
Who can say? Maybe he's bored.
Hang on, I almost forgot.
Uh, Kim Seon-yu needs a larger area
of her small intestine resected
than we previously suspected.
-Kim Seon-yu does?
-Yeah.
Aha, she's being treated by GS as well.
She needs to have chemo after surgery.
She's been on this TPN how long?
Jeez.
At home, you still need to get plenty
of sleep and keep your stress levels down.
And if you get any vaginal bleeding again,
please come back here right away.
All right, I'll do that.
Isn't your due date
just two months away?
Yeah.
When little Bean is born,
could you sh**t a text along?
I want to get a text, too.
And you should send pictures!
[all laugh]
We should set up a group chat
and all keep in touch with each other.
We all passed our numbers around already.
[patient] Sure. Sure!
Aw, you're so lucky!
I can't wait to be back at home too.
I'm so jealous!
You'll get there soon, [chuckles]
[chuckles]
Wow, how are you still so hungry?
You had so many in the ward earlier today.
Mm-hmm. I had some
with the nurses before that.
-It's pretty much a dumpling party.
-All over the Obstetrics ward.
And they come with weird
Pyo Nam-kyung stories. I love it.
We are honored, princess. [laughs]
I told her to stop telling stories
about that. [groans]
I looked up the restaurant.
Apparently, it's the best.
-No one can beat their dumplings.
-Wow! Nam-kyung, I'm so mad at you.
Your mom makes dumplings and lives nearby.
Hmm?
My folks actually live overseas now.
His parents are business owners
in the States.
Huh? How did you know?
It's under Um Jay's NamuWiki.
Mm, yeah, that sounds right.
[cell phone chimes]
[sighs] Hey, Kim Sa-bi,
tell me your address.
My mother wants to send you steamed buns.
Oh, really? When? For me?
-I want in!
-I do too!
[buzzer sounds]
Why are you getting buns
instead of dumplings this time?
'Cause she asked me what I like,
and I mentioned I like red bean buns.
She's got a good memory. I only said that
I liked those off-handedly.
My mom does?
Yeah. She still knows what she packed for
your field trip lunches in grade school
and what flowers she gave you
on your high school graduation day.
I don't think my own mother came to
a single graduation. I'm a little jealous.
[sighs] Don't be. I mean, your mother's
a professor. That's way cooler.
-Who cares about that?
-Everyone does.
-Being in the States is the worst.
-You guys need to grow up already.
Thank your lucky stars.
Stop asking for more.
At least you still have a mother.
-[taps]
-Huh?
[gasps] Oh! I gotta go. See you later!
-[both] Good luck.
-Thanks.
BEWARE OF FALLING
The professor operating on you
is famous for his surgical skills.
He's so good,
I bet he could do it in his sleep.
Yes, I know.
Don't you have surgery?
You better go. Don't be late.
I'll have to head there
once I take you in.
-But don't worry, Mom.
-Mm-hmm.
You can do this, right?
Hey, I don't even do anything.
The doctors do all the work.
The surgery will be over in an hour.
Just think of it
as a nice, relaxing nap, okay?
Mm-hmm.
Ah, here we go.
[breath trembles]
Hey, Mom.
-I'll see you soon, okay?
-Mm-hmm.
[doctor] Hello. I'll take her in now.
-Please take good care of her.
-[doctor] Of course. Don't worry.
Please come with me, Miss Yoon.
I can do this! I can do this!
Oh, Doctor, hey, uh, please take good care
of her. She's my mom.
Oh, yes, I heard about that.
This isn't a major surgery, so
-Oh, of course you know all this.
-[Nam-kyung] Yes.
Oh, one more thing, Doctor.
It's just that my mom really hates
the cold,
so when you're all done in there,
and you're leaving after the surgery,
could you please put extra blankets
on her?
I'll be sure to do that.
-Thank you.
-No problem.
-Mommy, Mommy!
-Mommy!
Hello, San and Deul! Hi! [laughs]
Have you guys had your snacks yet?
Back from daycare?
-[girl 1] We're back.
-[both] And we ate.
Mommy is gonna get out of here real soon
to come home again, all right?
Oh, yeah? When?
[Yeon-du] When? Well, one sleep more,
then two sleeps more, and then I'm home
again to be with you guys.
Really?
Well, at first, I was supposed to
be here a little longer,
but San and Deul are making me
so homesick, I can't wait.
Is the baby coming?
The baby?
Hmm.
I'll ask them,
and I'll see if they're ready
to come with me.
-I promise I'll ask, okay? [chuckles]
-[girls] Okay.
Go and play for now, all right?
I love you. [chuckles]
-I love you!
-I love you too!
-I love you!
-Love you, love you!
[sobbing]
[sobbing]
[sniffles, sobs]
Just this morning, the routine NS
came back looking normal.
But the patient explained she wasn't
feeling movement as usual.
So then we did another one,
and the heartbeat has disappeared.
We did a sono
and, unfortunately, it's an IUFD.
[sighs] Any other indications?
The lab results were all normal,
with no symptoms of note.
Hmm.
So, what do we do now, then, Doctor?
I'll move the surgery to the first slot
tomorrow and ask her contact to come in.
All right.
So now, what should I do, then?
Sorry?
I don't think there'd be any real use
in some sort of explanation
of the medical issues.
As a fellow mother, this is actually
a subject I understand.
And offering my condolences
just seems a bit redundant.
What can I possibly say
that could help her?
["On Such A Day" by WINTER playing]
-So telling her about the surgery
-I'll do it. Get the consent form ready.
It's okay.
I can go explain it.
[panting]
There were no intra-abdominal adhesions.
They said they could see
the cyst was benign.
Oh, thank goodness.
The operation lasted only 20 minutes.
-She'll be perfectly fine.
-Good.
And they sutured her belly
very nicely too.
Yeah, you're right.
Gosh.
I remember you said she hates the cold, so
I put three extra blankets on her before.
You did?
Hey, you're still recovering!
Yes, that's how I knew.
[sighs] You really didn't
have to do all that.
-[groaning softly]
-Oh, oh! Hey, Mom?
-Mom, are you okay? It must hurt, huh?
-[pants]
Yeah, it's painful.
[groaning softly]
Well, ma'am, it's to be expected.
I'm sorry.
You were in surgery,
so your ribs and shoulders
can almost feel like they were crushed.
The pain will last
around three or four hours more.
So you'll be hurting for awhile.
I'll stand in as her attending.
I'm not real busy now.
[sighs] I appreciate it, Sa-bi.
-[cell phone chimes]
-Oh.
[groans]
I'm sorry, I have to go.
If you're in pain,
let somebody know right away.
Tell Sa-bi, she'll bring you
some painkillers. Okay?
I gotta go. Please watch her.
Nam-kyung.
What? What, Mom? What?
Eat something, okay?
Proper food.
[sighs]
What? Why would I eat a meal at this hour?
Proper food, go eat.
All right, then, proper food.
Go.
[plastic crinkling]
Please, try to eat.
It's been ages since you had some food.
I know that
you're really suffering right now.
I know you must be grieving.
Doctor.
Yes?
Your surgery is in the morning,
so, your fast starts at midnight.
You can't eat a meal
until six hours after the operation.
Right.
So if you don't
eat a couple bites of something,
then you'll be really hungry
by the morning.
If that happens, then,
you'll start to despise yourself for it,
because as a mother,
you'll feel guilty about being hungry.
My sister went through this too.
She doesn't cry easily, but that day
she cried when she told me about it.
When she woke up the next morning,
she cried,
even more about being hungry.
She thought it might've been
her baby getting hungry.
She was worried that the baby
might have been starving
because she hadn't eaten.
So I told her that her baby
wouldn't be in pain of any kind.
She didn't pay any attention.
["Breath" by MINNIE playing]
[sighs]
That was more than five years ago, now.
I know she still dreams about it, though.
[sniffles]
So if you can,
try to eat, force something down.
There's no avoiding the sadness.
At least don't add that burden to it.
[breath trembles]
[whimpers softly]
[sobs]
[sobbing]
[sniffles]
[sniffling continues]
Ah, it's perfect. Thanks.
Are you in pain? Belly tight at all?
Mm-mm, the surgery went really well,
I'm guessing.
Good. What about painkillers?
You taken any?
Mm, your friend, Sa-bi, always keeps
my meds going like clockwork.
[chuckles] She said you two
have gotten really close.
Huh?
Oh, sure.
-Well [chuckles awkwardly]
-Were you pretty busy today?
Super busy, as always. [sighs]
I've got one more surgery to go.
-What kind of surgery?
-You wouldn't know.
Then, whose surgery?
Which professor is going to do it?
The one I complain about a lot.
-The witch woman?
-Not her.
Ah, yes, the one who screams
in the operating suite?
What was she called again?
The Raging something
Kong What was it?
Hey, knock it off! You're so loud!
It's all right. I wanted to see her
and make her explain to me
why she treats you the way she does.
Scolding you is one thing,
howling at you kids is another thing!
-That woman sounds like a nut!
-You can't "make her explain" anything!
-Stop it now, I'm serious, you can't!
-[Gi-sun] Dr. Pyo?
Oh, hello there, Professor.
Our surgery is soon, right?
What's going on?
Ah, nothing, I'm coming.
I'll head back in now.
Oh, hello there, Professor, I'm
Well
I'm Nam-kyung's mother.
I've been so wanting to meet you.
Oh.
-[chuckles nervously]
-[Gi-sun] Yes, how do you do?
I'm Professor Kong Gi-sun, a pleasure.
We've worked together on a few operations.
-Your surgery went smoothly, I trust?
-Oh, yes.
Our Nam-kyung sure has told us
so much about working with you.
[mouthing]
Now, look,
Professor
my daughter here
has a lot to learn yet. We tried our best
to make her a hard worker.
Still, I know there are many areas where
I'm sure you'll find her skills lacking.
Gosh, I really would like
to offer an apology
if she's been any kind of a burden
on her professors.
I'm sorry. I hope she hasn't
caused you issues.
Oh, that's not the case at all!
Dr. Pyo here is very brilliant, actually.
-Oh, my, thank you!
-[Gi-sun chuckles]
Oh, goodness, that means so much.
Thanks to a professor like you,
my daughter is doing something worthwhile.
I hope you'll continue
to be a guide for her.
Oh, of course.
I would be glad to. [chuckles]
Uh, there's no rush.
Enjoy your time together.
-Goodbye.
-Yes, thanks.
-Goodbye, thanks.
-Goodbye, thank you.
[sighs heavily]
-You nearly gave me a heart attack! God!
-[chuckles] Kong?
-Yep, it's her.
-"Ah!" Shouting! [laughs]
Be quiet! Oh, you're so loud!
Seriously, just quit making me
freak out, all right?
Glad to be back?
The professor said
to take the weekend off.
All right. Good work ethic.
I'll gladly share some of my work,
if you get bored.
-Me too. I've got plenty you can take.
-We'll see.
Well, since I'm back, I'll treat you.
-Ooh!
-Oh, yeah!
-I'll get the Choco Honey Pong Crush.
-Uh, two.
Choco Honey Pong Crushes for these guys,
a hot americano. What else should we get?
-Nam-kyung, she likes
-Iced americano, mega size for her.
All right.
And could I do one hot peppermint tea
as well? Thank you.
-So, are we up to five?
-Yes, five drinks.
I appreciate it.
-And this, too, if you can.
-[machine whirrs]
-Thank you.
-Thanks.
[Yi-young] Your appointment is next week?
[Sa-bi] If you feel dizzy or pain
in your surgical site,
don't wait, come in right away.
-Am I allowed to do that?
-Yes.
Oh, thank you. That means so much.
And please take care of my Nam-kyung.
I feel so much better knowing
she has great friends around her.
[laughs]
Thank you for everything.
[sighs] Why not close the shop today?
-Come on, why don't you stay for lunch?
-You know how your father is.
[sighs]
Thank all your friends again.
For coming to say goodbye
and eating all my dumplings,
and most of all,
thank them for being so kind
and taking care of my Nam-kyung.
I'll do that.
The bus is on its way.
Take a taxi. You just had surgery.
It's no problem.
Look, Mom, I just paid for a taxi for you.
They're not going to refund it,
so take the ride.
[scoffs] Why would you waste money
on such a silly thing?
Take the ride!
You're not saving much anyway!
All right, now, try to just calm down.
Hey, Mom, keep out of hospitals, okay?
Well, you saw how busy it gets.
And 'cause of you,
it was really stressful.
[gasps] Gosh.
Anyway, let's be healthy from now on.
All right, then.
When you found out you had to come,
were you scared?
Mm-hm. My heart was racing, pounding
and pounding. I just shut down.
And were you scared about the surgery?
Mm-hmm.
I almost thought I might
start bawling, actually.
And all of the beds are uncomfortable too.
It's been pretty hard, right?
It hasn't.
I loved being there through it all.
What?
This was the first night I got to spend
with you since you were in junior high,
and it was wonderful.
These three days
are a gift to me, because I got
to spend them with my daughter.
[sniffles, sobs]
-What does that mean, anyway?
-Hey, what's gotten into you?
Mom!
-[sobbing]
-Oh, what's this?
Oh, my!
What did you do with my spoiled princess
who gets angry?
[sobbing] Oh, Mom.
Don't cry, okay?
[Nam-kyung] But, Mom!
Stop it, don't you start. Huh?
Okay. Don't cry.
Oh, Mom!
Calm down.
[laughs]
[wails] Mom.
You're still a baby, aren't you? [laughs]
JONGNO YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
-Wow, eating without me again?
-[all] Hello.
-Your mother got discharged all right?
-Yeah, it all turned out great.
-Good, you handled it well.
-I appreciate it, thanks.
[cell phone buzzing]
Oh, isn't that Yi-young's phone?
Oh, that scatterbrain left it.
She was gonna leave here
dressed in her scrub pants.
You know I couldn't let her go like that.
-Pick up the phone.
-[buzzing]
Yes, hello, this is Oh Yi-young's phone.
Don't you recognize my voice?
Listen, I'm not a phone thief!
You left it here in the office.
Yeah, I'll leave it on the desk
so you can get it later.
See ya.
Oh Yi-young went out?
-She's getting dinner, right?
-Oh. Who with?
I don't really know,
but I think that it's a man.
-[Jae-il] How do you know?
-She told us!
-All that talk about her office friend?
-That?
-Sa-bi, you probably missed it.
-Someone asked her out to go get dinner.
She worried about whether he was into her,
or if he was just being grateful.
-[Sa-bi] And?
-She was asking for a "friend."
It was so painfully clear
it was about her.
Have you seen any friends of hers?
-[Sa-bi] No.
-[Nam-kyung] Exactly! It means it's a guy.
Good evening.
The reservation name, please?
It's Ham Dong-h*.
-Your room is this way, miss.
-[hesitates] Room?
This way.
Your room, miss.
[sighs]
[Dong-h*] Yes?
Oh! I was worried a work emergency
would keep you away tonight.
-I guess not.
-Yeah.
All right, then, Dr. Ham ordered for
the table, so just take a seat.
You can drink tonight, right?
Sit, come on.
[Dong-h*] Yeah, come in. After going
through something like that together,
we deserve a celebration.
[Moo-kang] Absolutely!
We saved a baby's life, after all.
Ah, man, weren't we amazing that day?
Don't you think, Dr. Oh?
Well, I mean
In my opinion,
you were really the top doctor.
How come you're here, Doctor Joo?
How can you ask me that?
I was the one who found Dr. Ku Do-won.
That was what turned the whole thing
around! I deserve to be here!
-That's right. "Cut deeper."
-[all laugh]
[Moo-kang] Dr. Ku stole my heart that day.
Somaek good for everybody?
-[Moo-kang] Sounds good!
-[Sang-hyeon] That's perfect.
It's funny, sometimes Dr. Ku acts like
he's the star of his own drama.
-[Jun-suk] But he really was so cool
-[Moo-kang] Wait.
Oh Yi-young, "pour deeper."
[all laughing]
-What was that?
-You think you're so funny.
-[Yi-young] Here you go.
-Thanks!
-Thanks. Let's toast.
-Let's make some noise!
-[all] Let's make some noise!
-Whoo!
-That was so good.
-I love it when he buys.
He's like, "I got this."
Hey, which way are you two going?
-Oh
-This way.
-Over there.
-Over that way.
-All right.
-Okay.
-Bye, guys.
-See you.
-See you tomorrow.
-What's going on between the two of you?
-They look good together.
-Don't they?
Wow, never saw Dong-h* cover
an expensive meal at such a fancy place.
Yeah, I know.
He didn't give us much notice.
He only told us about it yesterday.
I was barely able to make it.
He kept me in the dark
until this afternoon!
Don't complain, guys.
Just appreciate the moment.
How about another round?
-Nah, I got my kid.
-I work tomorrow, no.
Guess I'll watch TV alone, then.
Going home then?
Not yet. Back to work.
I left my phone there, so I gotta get it.
Right.
-Hey, did you think that
-What?
-That it would just be the two of us?
-No, I didn't.
Oh.
Just making sure
that wasn't what you expected.
I didn't at all, no.
I would never just jump to a conclusion
about how someone else feels about me.
-[clears throat]
-Ah, you wouldn't, huh?
It occurred to me I hadn't said
there'd be a group going out.
Ah.
I had fun. Don't worry about it.
Right.
Thank you so much for the meal.
Sure.
There's something I meant to ask.
I don't want to be pushy.
So, try me
-There's a guy you like, right
-[gasps] How did you know?
So I was right.
No one knows anything about it.
I kept this a total secret.
[chuckles] Well, it's pretty obvious.
The thing is,
we're trained to be observant.
[Yi-young] Party for Sa-bi? When?
I can't, I have dinner plans tomorrow.
I've already told you multiple times.
I'm standing in for Kim Sa-bi's surgeries.
-[sighs] I have three deliveries in a row.
-[door opens]
[Do-won] Do we have
the patient's test results?
Yes, we got them back.
They're here.
We're going to remove the ovarian cyst
and extract the baby at the same time,
but the cyst is larger than expected
and located around the back.
We'll likely run into adhesions.
Oh.
So, we're removing this cyst as well?
That's her bladder.
Oh, of course it is. Thank you.
I'll check on Miss Sung I-rang's surgery.
Be right back.
Okay.
YULJE MEDICAL CENTER
Ah.
Oh, I see.
It's obvious, isn't it?
Isn't it tough to have a one-sided crush?
[Yi-young] Of course it's tough.
Nothing feels right anymore.
So stop.
Or maybe you can't, huh?
Couldn't you like me?
I never thought about it to be honest.
I like Dr. Ku a lot more than I let on.
So that's where I am.
-I really am sorry.
-[chuckles softly]
There's nothing to say sorry for.
I see where I stand, now.
So now, I'm [inhales]
just gonna have to hope it
doesn't work out.
-Sorry?
-If it works out, I'll become jealous.
[scoffs]
[groans] Don't expect any ORs
to just open for you magically.
-That's not fair at all!
-Who cares? It's all up to me now.
-Wow, I didn't realize you were spiteful.
-Oh, extremely so.
Still, you can't let personal feelings
affect work.
-[Dong-h*] Whatever.
-What do you mean? You're a doctor.
KU DO-WON
CALL ME WHEN YOU FIND YOUR PHONE
-Didn't drive your car today?
-No.
[yawning] Oh, hey,
did you stay and wait for me
just to go over those charts?
We could've done it later.
I don't need your help to read charts.
There were some other last minute things.
I had to take care of them.
Have you eaten?
Ham Dong-h* treated me.
The guys who did that crazy surgery?
We got together and celebrated.
Ah, ah, ah.
We had jjajangmyeon, and tangsuyuk,
and also, yangjangpi,
and flower buns, I actually ate four.
Big meal you had.
I think I'm jealous.
Sorry?
I wish we could do that too.
Right here?
You mean now?
Yes.
Uh
So, then, is that okay? Uh
I just [sighs]
Well, I [sighs]
Well, I'm not sure, but if, uh
Yeah, I guess you
you're the kind of girl I
My legs are shot
after the walk from the hospital.
Wanna sit down? Can you squeeze in?
[watch buzzing]
ELEVATED HEART RATE
[muffled heart beating]
["Forever" by D.O. playing]
THANKS TO OUR SPECIAL GUEST,
SHIN HYUN-BEEN, OUR ETERNAL JANG GYEO-UL
RESIDENT PLAYBOOK
[Yi-young] Filming us?
[Do-won] They want to see us
go about our daily lives. Act natural.
Just do what you usually do, that's it.
And she was in front of the cameras
on the first day of filming.
Timing was insane.
I feel like it was fate for us
to meet here like this.
She's been told to give birth naturally
to make sure her baby is healthy.
Get ready with that in mind.
She's always on my back,
but keeps messing up her own work.
"Have you done it? Will you do it?"
With me, she's worse! Telling me
to do it again before she reads it!
You better double-check for me.
-Again, again
-[Nam-kyung] Can you keep it down?
[both] We're angry!
[Nam-kyung] See? I totally called it.
Rat born in '96 is horoscope for the week.
"This week is a warzone of disputes."
So annoying!
I don't get mad easily, but I'll ask you
Why do you keep making stupid mistakes?
Cool it. He's overwhelmed,
and only been in Gynecology for a day.
What's your goal here?
Getting him in OB/GYN?
I don't know about much, but I can touch
people's hearts, and that's special.
-[both gasp]
-Oh!
You are, right? HI-BOYZ.
[Jae-il] Oh. Oh.
-We're going on a getaway.
-[Do-won] Where'd this come from?
-It's just us in the house.
-[Yi-young] They're gone three nights?
