EPISODE 2
What are you doing here?
What? Is something there?
If you're in the special forces,
do you get picked up by helicopters and get shot at by guns and everything?
Hey, why would a South Korean soldier ever get shot with a gun?
They do get hit with rain and snow.
And they have to clean it up afterwards.
Right?
Then who is the guy that just flew away?
Did someone fly? Did he "flee" or did he "fly"?
He must've been desperate to do that.
AFGHANISTAN-PAKISTAN BORDER U.N. PEACEKEEPING CAMP
No!
Operation failure. Our troops and allies are all dead.
The place is booty trapped. Pay attention!
I'm sorry, sir!
If that's how it is, I won't behave either.
Team Leader's gonna die!
He may die or he may kill.
When the special forces of joint operations first meet each other,
they wager on a fight to assess each other's skills.
To see if they have the skills to have your back in life-or-death battles.
This isn't sparring. It's a real match.
And it's not a fight for you to butt in.
Back when I was the youngest applicant, I didn't know better so I wasn't nervous.
This time I am so nervous.
I don't remember the questions at all. What do I do?
Stop, you're going to get it. They can't fail you three times.
Right? The Director did say that I have the highest score on the application.
Wow, Dr. Kim, do you have a blind date today?
I had an interview. I was the second person after her.
For real?
What is she?
Your interview go well? He didn't ask you much, right?
Was he like that to you?
He must have thought you wouldn't understand the questions.
Or there was no reason to ask questions.
I'm leaving. I have a surgery.
She's talking about the professorship interview, right?
She failed the board exam three times!
Four times.
Do they have to fill a quota or something?
Let's start.
You can't even find an operation room now?
-This is Professor Park's-- -He changed hands.
I'm the head surgeon now,
and you're my assistant.
What are you doing?
Respiration rate is 16. No problems on the EKG.
Let's start. Scalpel.
I noticed that you put together Professor Baek's article.
-I noticed that you got him a watch again. -Right.
You try hard at every conference to get on his good side.
That's what you try to do by getting him a watch.
My skill speaks for itself.
What are you doing right now? What did you touch?
It's a tension pneumothorax. We need needle decompression.
14-gauge needle.
I'm the surgeon in charge. I'll do it.
Then hurry up and do it.
Give me a 14-gauge needle.
What are you doing? 28-chest tube, now!
28-french...
10 Joules charge.
-Charged. -Clear. Shoot.
-30 Joules charge. -Charged. Shoot.
MILITANT GROUPS
Blood pressure and pulse are all normal.
The patient is stable now.
You finish up.
I'm going to.
If your hands are slow, practice!
If your head is dull, know your place!
Why is she being so fucking ambitious?
It was really nerve-racking earlier.
You've worked really hard today.
You too.
You've worked hard too.
But what happened to your mom? Is she still a single mom?
Nope.
Ta-da!
Look at you, so happy.
Seriously, you guys.
He proposed to you?
Yes. We got matching rings first.
Oh! Honey!
Honey.
Did the surgery go well?
How ridiculously sweet.
I heard you had something to tell me in private.
What?
Oh! I do! Can you please excuse us?
What is it about?
About a patient.
About keeping patient information private between doctors.
Something like that.
Okay, good luck!
-See you later, Honey. -Bye Honey. See you later.
What is it this time?
I lost my ring.
I definitely put it in my pocket before the morning surgery,
but it's not there!
You're really pathetic, Lee Chi-hoon.
It can't be inside the patient's stomach.
What? You are crazy!
I found it! It was inside my scrub pocket.
Stand up.
Clench your jaws.
But they were always at the hospital. When did they make a baby?
The hospital is a big place.
Oh my, that's dirty.
Here, open.
What about that guy? Did he call?
Nope.
I guess he's not the type to call often.
What is he exactly?
Soldier, gunshot wound, helicopter...
Is he a spy?
Is he?
What are you looking at?
That guy's picture.
This is the only picture I have of him.
Dear... you're crazy.
TWO U.N. HOSTAGES IN AFGHANISTAN SAFELY RESCUED
Have you eaten yet? I'm still clenching my jaws.
Loosen them.
I'm off today so don't call or message me. I'm not going to answer them.
What are you up to?
A date.
You're not going looking like that, right?
You shouldn't!
Have you been well?
Why are you here already?
There are two hours left till our date. I'm not mistaken, right?
I came really early.
It was pretty nice to have someone to wait for.
Still, how can you come two hours early?
Why are you avoiding my eyes?
It's because my confidence is low.
I have no makeup on right now.
I was gonna go home to wash my hair and change my clothes.
You're already beautiful.
Really?
How come? Is it because my inner self is beautiful?
You don't mind? Should I not wash up?
Get in. I'll give you a ride.
So you do mind.
Come in. My house is clean. I don't have time to dirty it.
I'm just going to wash my hair.
By the way, I didn't eat at all today so I'm really hungry.
Can we order food and eat together?
I was going to buy you something better.
You're okay with delivery?
It's okay, I'm sharing it with an amazing person.
The fliers are on the fridge.
Thanks!
What do you like?
Stone pot bibimbap!
She's so weird.
And so pretty.
Yes, street number 964.
Thank you.
TO DO LIST
NOTICE OF TEMPORARY WATER SHUTDOWN
What is the meaning of this?
Wait.
Why?
What do you want me to do?
I haven't rinsed off the shampoo yet.
That was refreshing. Now I feel like I can live.
Did you order the food?
-Why are you looking at me like that? -Did you wash your hair?
There was a water shutdown at 16:00.
That water must be cold. Want me to boil it?
Forget it!
So I'm just curious--
Don't be.
You know what I'm gonna ask?
You want to make fun of me. It's written all over your face.
Where?
It's just a handsome face.
So what were you gonna ask?
Did you think of me?
Of course, I did.
How about you?
I did, a lot.
Like a man.
Thank you for letting go of my hair.
Let's get coffee when we go to the theater.
Sure.
Ah, right. I should get bottled water.
Hey.
Whenever I come to the movie theater, this is when I get most excited.
Right before the lights turn off.
This is the most exciting moment in my life.
Being with a beautiful lady right before the lights turn off.
Not an elder?
I mistook you for a beautiful lady because it's dark.
Earlier you said "hey" to me, right?
So what?
How old are you? You probably know my age from the chart.
Well, earlier, you teased me first like an older brother.
So I'm older.
Just kidding.
I'm older.
I don't think you are.
Show me your I.D.
I was worried you might not be of age.
Solidarity!
Captain Yoo Si-jin.
Yes, that is correct.
Yes, I understand.
Solidarity.
Is something wrong?
I have to go.
Right now?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Am I getting blown off again?
I'm really sorry.
Let's see this movie together next time.
For now, let's leave.
No. I'll just watch. You can go ahead.
-No, let's watch together-- -It's okay. You can go.
I'll call you.
It's me. I really didn't want to call but...
Did you call?
How could I not?
This time, everything really seemed to point at her getting the position.
This time, everything pointed at Kim Eun-ji getting the position.
But this time, it's not even a senior, but a classmate.
Kang Mo-yeon will be upset.
Doctor Kang pretty much lived inside the operating room.
That's why it's pitiful.
Why live inside the OR? Live in a greenhouse, like a flower.
I heard that Kim Eun-ji’s family is a major shareholder of Haesung Group.
She stood no chance.
How does that make sense?
Doctors need skills.
Says who? Skills can't get you far.
Wealth is what makes doctors. And then it's fitness.
So are you happy with this?
I'm just saying this is wrong.
You said that it'll be me.
You told me yourself that it'll be me this time.
This is already my third time.
The first time, you said I was too young.
The second time, you chose my seniors who helped you with your paper.
Listen!
Do I owe you a professorship or something?
If you put it that way, I have nothing more to say.
I know that having connections matters.
So who will it be next time?
The Minister's son-in-law? Hospital owner's nephew?
Shouldn't skills be honored at least once out of the three tries?
It seems you don't want a fourth chance, Dr. Kang.
Director Shim!
Dr. Kim, we're done here.
Hand over your broadcast materials to Dr. Kang and come to Park's office.
Let's go together in Professor Park's car.
Yes, I'll be right there.
-Director! -Hey!
You have to fill in for my broadcast tomorrow.
I get to eat dinner with the professors.
You want me to be your substitute?
Of course.
You have to if a Professor tells you to.
Don't make mistakes because it's live.
Memorize everything.
Our hospital spent a lot of money on this product placement.
What if I say no?
Then don't. We'll see what happens.
Dinner's tonight and the broadcast is not until tomorrow. Why me?
Because I'm drinking tonight
to celebrate the professorship.
How could I get up early tomorrow?
You are really horrible.
Aren't you ashamed? Aren't you embarrassed?
Hmm, you're right.
But at least I got a professorship out of it.
You just get embarrassment and nothing more.
-Bitch. -What?
You heard me. I said you're a bitch.
I pity those whose lives are in your hands!
Stop messing around with me!
So you know this is embarrassing.
That makes me even more angry!
-You! -Hey!
Let go!
-Let go! -You let go first!
I'll do everything to prevent you from becoming a professor!
Are you crazy? Hurry up and let go!
-You let go first! -Let go!
-Seriously! -Hey!
Hey, hey!
Why are you grabbing each other's hair in the director's room?
Let go, right now!
What am I doing right now?
I must be crazy.
If a patient is suspected to have arrhythmia...
If a patient is suspected to have arrhythmia,
a 12-lead EKG should be--
Why can't I memorize it?
If a patient is suspected to have arrhythmia--
If a patient is suspected to have arrhythmia, a 12-lead EKG...
-Good work. -Thank you, sir.
Check all the equipment before roll call.
Yes, sir.
-Unit, attention! -That's fine. At ease.
Parade rest.
Good job going in place of the Bravo unit.
Did anyone get hurt?
No, sir. Everyone returned without injury.
Thanks.
Alpha Team has worked hard on many missions at home and abroad.
As commander, I've decided to give the 8-month extended leave...
to the Alpha Team.
May we know where?
Taebaek Unit in Uruk.
Training begins in two weeks, use this time to see your families and loved ones.
Now, pack up and leave the base quickly.
Dismissed.
Solidarity.
Why are they giving us such a long leave?
Because we get attached to a regular unit for our leave.
We are technically resting because there are no urgent tasks.
-Yes! -Yes!
Is Dr. Kang Mo-yeon in surgery?
She's not answering her phone.
Dr. Kang is over there.
She's in a live broadcast.
Arrhythmia can be classified into different categories.
The onset rate increases as people age.
Then what kind of treatments are available for patients with arrhythmia?
There's a new EPS method that's being newly implemented
for the treatment and diagnosis of arrhythmia
that minimizes side effects.
Oh I see.
You don't look nervous at all for it being your first time here!
Your explanations are easy to understand too.
I'm actually really nervous, but I guess it doesn't show.
I'm sorry for the other day.
For leaving you alone like that.
What I want to hear is not an apology, but an explanation.
Where did you go this time?
Did you go on a helicopter again?
No.
I didn't go far.
I can't tell you the details because of the rules...
I see.
You're not a spy, are you?
I was having a rough day...
and you popped up here and there.
Where did the man I was attracted to go?
What does he do?
But you're telling me that...
I can't hear your story even when I see you.
Because of the rules.
I'm sorry.
Is it Special Forces or something like that?
Something like that.
You told me you shovel at the unit.
The fact that you have a gunshot wound means you got shot.
Then does that mean you also shoot guns?
So...
you might have to kill someone,
or get killed yourself...
in the type of work you do.
Do you only fight the bad guys?
Every day, I spend more than 12 hours in the operating room...
trying to save people from dying.
That's what I do.
Fighting to save lives.
But your fights...
are about saving lives through the deaths of others.
I'm a soldier.
A soldier...
follows orders.
At times, what I believe to be the right thing...
may mean something different to someone else.
Still, I try my best to carry out my mission.
Until now,
I have lost three comrades during military operations.
My comrades and I do this job...
because someone must do it.
Me and my family, you and your family,
and the loved ones of those family members...
I believe that my job protects...
the freedom and peace of this land where these people live.
I am a doctor.
There is dignity in life,
and no other value or ideology should take precedence.
I see.
I'm sorry,
but this was not as I expected.
I understand.
I will get going.
It was nice meeting you.
Good bye.
Why are you back already?
I could ask you the same question.
You'll leave without seeing Myeong-ju?
If you go now, you won't see her for six months.
Did you meet the doctor?
Please hand me the razor there.
Sgt. Gong says that Uruk has a lot of beautiful women.
Kim Tae-hees working the fields and Sistars picking grapes.
-Many a great man! -Many a great man!
Many a great man there are
TAEBAEK DIVISION, URUK
But I am the greatest man of all
In a fight, I'm invincible
In love, I'm passionate
I am the man!
The greatest man!
Left foot!
One!
EIGHT MONTHS LATER
Were you taking a nap?
I was reflecting upon the duty of a soldier to keep peace.
Would you like some iced coffee?
I prefer water.
Piccolo transmitting.
Suspicious explosive in zone B4.
It's a 82 mm blank ammunition used by the enemy.
A Russian explosive used by North Uruk during the border war.
All fuses seem to be active.
Its got a big casualty radius. We should be careful.
Basic procedure completed.
What should I do?
If we report to the commander,
he'll tell us not to touch it and get assistance from the U.S. Army.
Sgt. Choi Wu-geun.
What is my creed for service?
"Keep it down and don't cause trouble.
Don't do anything difficult."
Sgt. Im Gwang-nam.
What is difficult work?
First, requesting assistance. Second, requesting assistance.
Third, requesting assistance.
We'll let the U.S. forces protect world peace
and handle this on our own.
All responsibility will be taken by your on-site commander...
me.
URUK TAEBAEK DIVISION HQ
Who was it? Which bastard is it?
Does living away from the HQ make you think
the commands of your superior sound like a barking dog?
I told you to remove the duds
and let the U.S. EOD deal with the live explosives?
Who was it?
Who handled it this way?
The Deputy Leader...
did not stop me.
What were you doing not stopping me?
You know how much I like writing requests for assistance.
How could you?
I really thought that it was being written.
Why? Because...
he is good at writing.
The Tolstoy of requests for assistance. Master writer Seo Dae-yeong.
These bastards... Both of you pack your gear!
Born as the gallant sons of the nation.
They're here!
On that rewarding path To protect our homeland.
Together we rise In the fire of our youth
Attention! Go!
Good job!
Good luck!
Isn't it better to do physical labor than to write a report?
Do you want me to show you real physical labor?
No one can break our camaraderie
For we are the shields Until the end of days.
She is chic like always.
Then the most realistic prevention must be a check-up, right?
BODY CHECK WITH KANG MO-YEON
Among the programs is something called a carotid ultrasound.
Sungjin Group's President Choi had some porridge today,
and he's looking good.
The mistress of Yooseong's CEO is hospitalized again.
Again? Why? She left the hospital yesterday.
His wife came and kicked her out.
These people can't discern between a hospital and a hotel.
Let's go to see our annoying VIPs.
The cases I'm working on at the law firm have been so stressful,
so I'm falling apart everywhere.
But of all my problems...
this is the most urgent.
My new girlfriend...
I don't know if it's because she is young. But it's rough.
Then meet an older girl.
That's not what I make the money for.
What about that thing last time?
Oh, yes.
He is your biological grandson, Chairman.
Is that right?
Then...
please check this one too.
Okay.
I'd like a turkey, ham, and seafood club sandwich platter, to go.
And the chocolate chip cookies too.
-Any vegetables that you don't eat? -Please add all the veggies.
Honey oat for the bread.
By the way, you are prettier in person than on television.
Do you want it toasted?
Yes. Thank you.
Well, well.
Who do we have here?
VIP ward specialist has graced us in the general ward!
It is Professor Kang Mo-yeon!
I increased your workload, didn't I?
Here's a bribe. I added olives to yours, Nurse Min-ji.
Thank you.
You really never know in life.
You never got a chance to bloom in the operating room.
But with a mic instead of a scalpel,
you've become the face of the Hospital and a professor in the VIP ward!
Ham for me.
It's also very fascinating to me.
Who knew?
Life may take a wild turn at any moment.
I checked the bulletin board of the broadcasting station.
Someone said you were just as pretty as the reporter on the show.
Did you write that yourself?
I didn't write that.
If you didn't, don't you want to know who wrote it?
The ID was cock-a-doodle-do Song.
Cock-a-doodle-do Song?
Oh, Doctor Song!
Did you really write that? I can't believe it.
Eat all you want!
Look at her all happy.
She should be ashamed.
And she's probably telling people she's a doctor.
-What are you looking at? -You.
You aren't a doctor either. You're just your father's daughter.
Hey! A true doctor should be in the operating room.
Not in a makeup room.
That makes two of us not in the OR then.
-I'm too busy and you don't have skill. -Stop bragging.
You only got it as my substitute.
-You stop. -You were dropped the moment I went in.
You think you're the best. Feel like you own the entire world?
How could I own the entire world?
I'm just taking back the nameplate you took away.
So don't mind me and just go work.
-I'll get going. -Bye.
Hey, hey.
So annoying.
I'll come back healthy.
So let's watch a movie together.
Hurry. I don't have much time.
Is that a yes or a no?
Did you think of me?
Of course. How about you?
I did, a lot.
Like a man.
This is our first date, so I'm setting the mood.
I'll put it here.
-Why not the middle-- -Wait!
For a woman, it's all about the back-light.
I look prettier this way.
Please don't move it.
It's placed with your line of sight and angle in mind.
You got hurt again.
Did you get hurt from shoveling again?
What are the chances of getting a facial injury from shoveling?
So it's not from that, is it?
And yet, I pulled it off.
You must be so busy that you don't have time to wash your hair?
I pretty much live in the operating room.
Do you know how sexy I am in the OR?
Even though you can only see this part, I am super pretty.
I want to date that person.
I guess she's not here today.
Seriously!
I don't have time to be sexy these days.
What are you doing?
Solidarity!
Private First Class, Kim Gi-beom.
I am digging out a drain.
I know that.
Give it to me.
If you hold it like that, it'll take you all night and more.
Look.
Hold it like this, using your waist and shoulders.
Like this.
That's why I was cautious.
Oh, you're bleeding!
I actually got hurt shoveling.
Please stay still. It looks like you need first aid.
What the...
HURT WHILE SHOVELING
Attention.
Parade rest.
Attention.
Is something wrong?
Why did you bring this idiot? All the way out here?
He's precious in my eyes.
What do you need?
I need wine and whipped cream.
It's Sgt. Gong's birthday, so he's gonna cook steak.
Pvt. Kim is a good cook.
Oh, it's today!
I will handle the task of procuring the wine then.
-I come just for this. -That was for me.
Please don't misunderstand every time.
Did you get the one I asked for?
Be careful with that, kiddo.
It's pretty heavy. Do you shoot it like this?
Did it scare you?
That worked well.
-Korean? -Speaking Korean doesn't make you Korean.
Give it to me!
A gun isn't a puppy that knows its owner.
A bullet will fire no matter where it's pointed.
Why are you buying a gun you don't even know how to use?
I'm not buying it to kill someone.
I bought it to protect myself.
So arrogant.
Is it okay to let her just take it?
You have the right to bear arms here.
Uruk?
Where is Uruk?
It's a country located at the tip of the Balkans.
Haesung Group is building an eco-friendly power station there.
It's volunteering.
But they'll fill it with people with no money or connections.
Wait, that's me.
I have no money, no power, no fortune. Great.
You're friendly and not bad-looking, though.
I am?
I'm definitely gonna go volunteer.
-I got permission from Dr. Jang. -Hey!
You can't go! Dr. Jang is almost due!
There's no way she would've knowingly given permission.
She said I won't have a chance when the baby is born,
-so she told me to go. -Oh my.
You have a rich family. Why choose Schweitzer?
Life will be easier if you chose to be Bill Gates.
Professor Kang.
Leave your schedule open this evening.
Let's get dinner.
Did I just get asked out by the chairman?
What to do!
I know, what do I do?
What does the rising star Kang Mo-yeon need at this time?
-A fan club? -An arranged marriage.
Arranged marriage!
That's not such a bad idea.
I disapprove.
He's a divorcee.
You're so much better.
How exactly is she better?
Is she young? Is your family wealthy?
For a woman with no appealing background, a divorced man is an advantage.
Right?
Is this my chance to rise up the societal ladder?
What are you doing? Sit down.
Are we eating dinner here?
Do you think we came here just for dinner?
You said it was the sky lounge.
Sky.
Lounge.
It's all here.
Do you need more?
Maybe manners?
Or...
I guess I was a fool for expecting it,
but romance?
-Are you that kind of a person? -Are you this kind of a person?
Did you not hear about my lack of patience?
We can order food. You want to wash first while we wait?
Or should I first?
Good call. Come here.
What are you doing?
-Are you going to hit me? -Yes.
You hit the chairman?
I almost killed him.
I won't get fired, right? I am the star professor of this hospital.
And he's the chairman.
Right?
I have to go to the meeting. How am I gonna face him?
Glare at him. Give him the death glare.
A glare can hurt people, you know.
What if he really starts liking me?
That's my real concern.
The next item...
Damn it!
is the Uruk medical service project.
I thought about accepting volunteers...
but I decided I want to send the best doctor out to the field.
Professor Kang Mo-yeon...
will be the leader of the volunteer team.
It's not a hotel, but you'll be given a clean accommodation.
You'll take it, won't you?
You never know with life.
Have you seen the list of the medical team?
Yes. I saw it.
Isn't the team leader that doctor?
Correct.
Does she know that you're here?
Probably not.
I guess it wasn't just a passing fate.
It must be brushing by as it's passing.
Why did they send me here?
They said that they arranged some U.N. soldiers to come for us.
Let's wait a bit longer.
We're waiting.
We're waiting, but this place is too hot.
You really never know with life.
We don't know.
Hello?
Yes, who is this?
Chairman? Chairman of what?
Han what?
Han Seok-won.
Dude, Han Seok-won is called Chairman Han. Why would you--
Yes, Chairman.
My cellphone connection was bad.
Yes!
We just arrived at the Uruk Airport!
Yes, yes! I'll give the phone to Team Leader Kang.
Why aren't you answering the phone?
Kang Mo-yeon speaking.
It's really hot, isn't it?
If you've changed your mind, you can tell me now.
I have a lot of excuses to bring you back to Korea.
Forget it.
I knew you were an ass when you brought me to the hotel
but I didn't know you were a freaking coward too.
Chairman, sir.
So let me tell you this.
With my fame on TV and my networking with the VIP patients,
now seems to be the right time to open up my own practice.
As soon as I return from this trip,
I'll throw a resignation letter in your freaking face, so just you wait.
Do you understand?
You heard everything, right?
That is the reason I'm here.
The airplane is coming.
It must be brushing by as it's passing.
-I think they're dispatching Lt. Yoon. -To here?
Don't move.
What did I step on? A landmine?
How have you been?
Are you still sexy in the operating room?
There was a car accident in the mountain roads.
Hold on. I'll find you.
I'm sorry that my concern got in the way of your work.
FP Level II announced in the medical camp area.
Our forces will not intervene. If the patient dies...
What's going on?
...we will blame it on the doctor.
