RESIDENT PLAYBOOK
Ugh,
we ordered drinks like an hour ago.
Why
aren't
they coming, I wonder.
Oh yeah!
Hey!
I, uh…
I got these drinks for you guys today.
They looked tasty.
Wow this isn't like you at all.
-Gotta be true. -Alright,
let's do a toast with these then we can talk.
Kay?
Cheers,
cheers,
here we go!
Ok so? Go on!
-Is it true? -You two are…?
Um,
here's the thing…
Mhm?
Ok, here are your beers, guys.
-Appreciate it. -Amazing, thanks.
His timing's too good.
I live with Ku Du-won, he's my brother-in-law
we're together. Alright?
-Oh my- whoa. -So it's true.
-Awww! -Oh my god you called it.
-Ok, that's enough… keep it down -I knew it!
-I saw them I told you- -You're totally right!
Man, see? I told you!
Hey, Yi-young, I kept your secret!
Hey, hey, when did you start going out?
Who approached who first?
Do your folks know?
Oh my god.
You're double in-laws! Are you double in-laws?
Ok. Ok.
Listen, the two of us are happy, and I appreciate your support, I do.
Please just, um…
please keep it quiet at work.
Okay we'll keep it quiet.
If rumors spread at the hospital it would put a damper on things.
I dunno who I'd tell. I mean it.
You know, Yi-young,
I'm a little pissed, ok?
You coulda spilled it earlier. Geez.
It's just that…
Sorry, guys.
It's fine.
Don't worry, we forgive you.
And cus you owe us,
you're getting the check!
-Ok! -Yes!
Yay!
Hey, hey, let's order the pollock. I heard it's good!
Ooh, yeah, the mitre squid is amazing too.
Oh-
I ordered squid already, guys.
-Hey, sir!? -What're you ordering?
Can we…
please order some whelks,
-dried pollock, -Nachos, nachos.
More squid, yeah,
Wait a second. Hey, let's finish what we have first! Geez.
Nachos and sweet potato fries, thank you!
Excuse me, doctor, Miss Lee Sang-rim in the MFICU--
Oh,
I decided to prescribe the tocolytic. Hook it up when the other's finished.
Right
regarding Miss Kim Go-yun
I just checked the meds she's on and told her to finish those off for now.
Gosh, your fingers have a mind of their own.
Yeah, I know.
I used to be so slow, but now I can't believe
it ever took that long.
Oh!
Are you going out later?
Well, I have a date later tonight.
You're so lucky!
I'm so jealous of you.
Taking a hiatus from dating?
More like pushed into retirement prematurely.
I mean, how do I get to know someone
if I'm always working?
Is this why everyone dates their coworkers?
Date their coworkers?
Who is it? Who's together?
Huh?
Uh…
I um…
-don't think I'm allowed to say. -Do we have a new couple besides Doctor Oh?
Wait how do you know that?
Oh…
I, uh…
Didn't I say…
'please don't tell anyone.'
Hm.
And, so…
Oh there's more?
For Yoon Hui-ok,
I had a consultation with GS and confirmed a date for the operation.
How did you know to
do that?
Did I explain that to you?
Oh,
Her chart made it clear she requested a chemo port ahead of her surgery, so I just
-made the arrangements. -Wow.
Wow.
And oh, just a reminder,
Na Seo-hyeon was scheduled for a BSO to preserve her ovaries.
But we changed it to a bilateral ovarian cystectomy today.
Just making sure to remind you.
Well Thank you for the reminder.
-Sure. -Oh, hey, professor.
Hello, Doctor Ku.
Shouldn't you be studying?
Have you even started?
Ah, wait, you already know all the material?
-Don't have to crack a book? -Oh no!
I have plenty to study, I'm just busy.
I'm gonna have to wait and start in January.
Obstetrics stole him from us
they took
this talented guy.
Thanks, Professor.
So…
well, I better get back to it.
-Have a good one. -Yeah, you too.
Ah,
shame to lose him.
Gosh I really wish…
I had a daughter for him.
That wouldn't do you any good anyway.
He's
already seeing a girl.
Oh, really?
Who is it?
Who is she?
I'm not allowed to say…
Means it's someone here.
Yes,
-it's Yi-young. Oh Yi-young. -Mm, Oh Yi-young.
The… one with…
with the bob, she's that one?
Uh, no.
-She keeps it long. -Okay, but…
-she's tall though? -Oh, no.
-No, I'm taller than her. -Oh yeah?
Ahh!
Oh, right, I know, she's the cool girl.
She's the intern who decided on Neurology.
Yes, bingo, professor.
Oh,
no kidding… who knew.
They're not quite, um…
I dunno…
So for how long?
Is it serious?
We have scheduling issues tomorrow.
Yeah, I thought about this.
We'll wrap up the first op in OR-seven,
the TLH can move to the last opening…
and op-room ten for the explo lapa?
Oh…
not bad, could work.
When'd you figure all that out?
Wow.
You doing extra work?
That's as rare as a major earthquake.
Oh c'mon, that's not outta the ordinary.
I got something…
really outta the ordinary to tell you.
Doctor Ku has been seeing…
Oh man, they still together?
Huh?
I didn't think it would last.
I guess Doctor Oh's been good for him.
H-how do you wait, how do you know!?
Everyone does, right?
It's pretty obvious.
I gotta to get going.
See you later.
Boy, so much for a secret relationship if people know.
Everybody I run into knows.
You know too?
Your installment-based savings plan matured a few days ago.
We'll transfer the funds soon, so expect a deposit.
Most people can't stay the course, but you did.
Congratulations.
I appreciate that.
KU DO-WON
Thank so much.
So is there…
anything else I can help you with?
Actually, yeah, I'd love to do a one year plan.
Ah,
-a short-term installment savings plan? -Yeah.
Truth is, I'll need the cash soon, so…
Wait, so, by soon…
Do you mean…
For a wedding…
Yep.
-Ooh! -Ooh!
What the heck are you doing? Why're you here?
Don't you guys have rounds?
And charting?
-Boo! -Boo!
Scram, you guys.
-Get out. -Yessir.
Your um…
new in laws here…
will see you around.
Goodbye.
Tshh.
Whoa! It's Yi-young.
-Wooo! Haha, got you so good. -Get outta here!
-Get to work. -Wooo!
-Move it, guys. -Catch ya later, Romeo!
Made you look, nana!
So childish. God.
RESIDENT PLAYBOOK
Have you all decided on the new Obstetrics professor yet?
We narrowed it down to two options based on your feedback.
However,
our esteemed colleague, Doctor Seo
would love to continue deliberating.
Thing is, both candidates' evaluations in
research and clinical competence…
are stellar.
Unfortunately there's some room for improvement in other areas,
so before we choose I'd like to…
review this in more detail.
All right, take your time.
We'll make a decision by next week.
Alright.
Sounds good.
Thank you, everybody.
Have a good day.
-Rounds? -Uhuh.
2024 ACADEMIC YEAR, APPLICATION FOR NON-TENURE TRACK PROFESSORSHIP
MYEONG EUN-WON
Man…
time flies when you're having fun.
We only have one day left of this year.
It feels like we were just introducing ourselves.
I know, right?
Ugh,
not to mention we're all gonna be twenty-nine.
I can't believe it, that's crazy.
I can't either…
the way you spend, I don't know how you're not
living in your car yet.
Tsk tsk tsk.
I got a present for myself, so what?
It's the holidays, ok?
You got yourself a gift last month as well.
The pendant.
Oh this?
Black Friday sale, it was SO cheap, I mean I had to go for it. It was a steal.
A steal.
You're not gonna learn your lesson til you're sitting on a mountain of credit
card debt.
Hey enough with the nagging.
You sound like my mother, seriously.
Ugh, he's so loud.
Did he sleep here again?
Uhuh.
The last few days, he's been up every night.
Why?
Pretty sure there's some cervical cancer patient in his ward who's up all night
with terrible pain.
The drugs aren't working on her. So she calls him every other hour.
Why doesn't he just sleep in here and go when she calls?
Ugh, guess he's more comfortable staying close.
I don't think he wants her to be alone you know?
Mhm.
She's not alone though.
I mean, her personal caregiver's there.
No, I meant she doesn't have relatives or like…
anyone…
Do I have to spell this out?
He's way too good-natured,
and she's way too cruel.
Ugh,
if only we could combine you two, right?
Unfortunately,
you're…
like oil and water.
Uhuh!?
Yep, on my way, ok?
Hello. How are you?
Did you uh,
get some rest last night?
No, didn't sleep a wink last night, I'm afraid.
It feels like my pelvis, my gut and entire back, are…
are all getting slowly ripped to shreds.
Pain control? You try anything?
Yes,
morphine in an IV drip and some percocet.
She had some discomfort overnight too,
so I increased her meds.
Mmm.
There is a…
risk of blood clots from extended rest, especially lying down.
-So exercise would do you good, if you… -Ugh, I can't do that…
the pain is excruciating.
I understand.
Well, I apologize.
Check on her as much as you can.
-Sure. -Mm.
We'll take care of you,
I'll hang out at the nurses' station tonight.
Call me if you feel pain, okay?
I'll come right away.
Have you even slept at all this month?
How are you holding up?
Hanging in there.
I have to keep visiting her. She needs it.
Can't do much else though.
Now I understand why all the patients ask for you.
You know,
it's an honor to have someone ask for you.
Cus it means
you're actually useful.
Look, barely a few months ago,
I was basically invisible.
No one cared or noticed.
Hmm…
-seriously? -Mhm.
Yeah, so trust me, ok.
Being useless to everybody is horrible.
Oh.
Wha-
what's going on there?
Hey, hello.
Hey, everyone.
What's going on?
Eun-mi's first patient…
the one she saw through all that pain…
the first real person in her care…
she just died.
Ahhh…
She was there from her admission to the last round of chemo, it's just…
the patient went downhill so quick, it's hitting her hard.
We have to give her a little while to cry before she goes into surgery.
Call me if there's anything urgent.
Yep.
Uh.
Not time for rounds yet, is it?
Ms. So!
Hello there.
How are you feeling today?
Are you thinking about your surgery?
You look pretty worried.
I thought I'd be less afraid cus I've done this before.
Guess not.
I'm so scared I can't even sleep.
Oh no…
you should be getting plenty of rest right now.
Doctor, I notice that you're alone.
You were…
-alone last time as well. -Yes, that's right.
I was always really good…
at flying solo, ya know?
Because…
I am a huge Top Gun fan…
It's just…
I thought famous doctors went around with an entourage of junior doctors.
Well…
People say you never get to see them cus they're so busy,
but you're in our room constantly, are you not busy?
Mm-
I… thought you were a master physician, that's why I came, but now…
Right, first of all,
no physician's a "master".
But… in every surgery and treatment…
I try to do my best, truly.
Cus…
that's all I CAN do you see?
I enjoy making my rounds.
Also
I can't drag around a bunch of aspiring doctors
with me when they have plenty to do
It'd be a waste of manpower.
That kinda thing only happens on television.
In real hospitals,
Well there aren't
a plethora of junior doctors for a personal entourage.
Okay?
-Hm? -I was told…
you do the most operations of any doctor in this hospital, is that really true?
Yes, it's true.
He does tons of surgeries. He's extremely skilled.
No need to worry, trust me.
And he was on an episode of a TV show about Korea's best doctors, too.
We actually…
call him Jae's Anatomy.
Oh,
really?
Hey, wait, hang on. Oh, don't uh…
get too impressed. Where did you come from, huh?
Go away, stop it okay?
I'm blushing now…
-just stop it, you. -Yeah, I'm done.
That was it? Oh. Okay.
Why're you here?
Uh, right, I brought her test results.
Last time she was here, her hemoglobin was in the nine's,
but it's up to the twelves in pre-op.
That's great news.
With the adhesions in your pelvis…
the major risk is serious bleeding in this sort of surgery.
With these results, though, I'm sure…
we won't need to do a transfusion.
Won-ju, this is big!
-Mm. -That's great.
Most of what I hear is bad news…
So when I hear anything good…
I feel so relieved.
Hm,
listen, this is a really positive sign, but I want you to get…
plenty of sleep.
Then you'll go to surgery.
And we'll do our very best.
Alright.
-That's great. Thank you. -We appreciate it.
-Thank you. -Hm…
Uh,
just remember we all Won-ju…
to rest. Or um…
forget it, see ya.
Sir…
Just letting you know I got verbal confirmation from Radiology and talked to
-Vascular to give them a heads up. -Hm?
Already?
I've requested blood for transfusion, and will re-brief the
patient on anesthesia. I also checked on the
ICU bed one final time.
Hey…
You do know
you're allowed to breathe, right?
Yep.
What's wrong?
You're worried aren't you?
Yes.
There's bad adhesion…
it spans her small intestine and her whole pelvis,
I dunno…
-I think the bleeding could get severe. -Mhm. I think so too.
And I know you'll be fine because you do this all the time,
I just… still get…
freaked out when there's a prospect
of…
-blood like that. -I still get that way too.
Mm, you're not alone in this.
We're the freaked out DUO.
But, here's the thing…
She's super resilient.
She got good test results.
Her work is done here.
It's our turn.
So…
everything else depends on us.
Not only that, we both know there's bound to
be plenty of blood as well.
I'm horrified too.
So that is why…
I do these rounds,
and tell my stupid jokes too…
cus everyone deserves some hope.
Mm.
I do what I can.
Oh…
Could I ask you,
For a favor?
I could use the motivation.
Can you repeat…
your pep talk from earlier?
-Huh? -What you said…
in front of the patient.
Oh,
you do the most surgeries and you're really skilled.
No,
-no one cares about that part, no. -You were on that TV show.
You're Jae's…
Anatomy.
Oh, that's so good.
I'm not cool enough…
to take the lead part in the crown jewel of Shonda-land.
Hey…
that's so…
mm-mm.
If the fans heard you say that, they'd come after you with pitchforks.
Back then, too?
Yes… and um
Professor,
Just letting you know, the patients I called about
are in the labor room.
Oh, let's go.
Thank you.
-See you later. -Of course.
Hi, how are you?
Oh, hey.
This is Miss Nam's second birth, the first was in twenty-fifteen.
She's fingertip dilated.
I admitted her with contractions ten minutes apart.
Usually…
the second time around, things go a bit faster.
But it's been eight years since your first,
and based on the way things are going…
it looks like you…
might… have to wait a little longer.
Ok.
Gosh,
I don't know if it's cus it's my second kid,
I'm more freaked out this time.
Don't worry, we'll take care of you.
Second time's better.
No way!
-Is it really that good? -It's just…
you said my first one was little big and I can't…
Oh my god, I thought there was no way we'd get that much!
No, for real.
Well, yeah, sure, but-
yeah, the baby could get here
on the thirty-first.
Oh,
you're telling me, um…
if it's in January…
that means the child is gonna be lucky forever?
Oh,
if they're born at midnight on the first, it's even better? Got it.
God, it's amazing your fate could change cus of
one day, you know?
Wait, but I'm sure that's unlucky too, though.
Sorry, we're…
gimme just two…
-Two minutes. Sorry. -Uhuh.
She got pregnant
via IVF, it was pretty tough.
So this baby here is quite lucky.
Tomorrow's December thirty-first too.
Occasionally you do see someone who really…
really wants their child to be born in the new year, so…
Or born right at midnight on the first of January.
So that's why she's acting a fool.
Hey everyone, Jin-Hui here!
I have huge news…
they said my water just broke and now the due date is even sooner.
It could be tomorrow…
who knows, my little girl…
is on her way out.
Honestly,
right now I think I just might…
try to save her for New Years eve!
Seriously, how amazing would it be to have my
baby on January first at midnight? Super good vibes for the new year.
So don't forget…
to hit that like.
Oh, I'm so sorry, we were just, uh,
just filming a little video
-So sorry about that. -Yeah, that's my bad!
-We're almost done. -Sorry about that!
You're asking for too much. The baby's health is all that matters.
Her Doljabi won't decide her destiny.
Um…
Min-hye, Listen…
I really wanted to go to the party…
but it's my mother-in-law's birthday that day…
Why are you apologizing?
You don't need to be on eggshells when we talk.
Yeah my blood test is really soon.
Embryo transfer, yeah.
Everything's gonna be fine, don't worry about me.
Hey, I'll be fine.
Right, oh.
Sure, we'll chat later.
Uhuh.
-Hey, Seung-won. -Oh!
Oh, wait-
honey, that you? What's going on?
You're just out here by yourself?
Eavesdropping.
Uh-uh.
Why'd you run off?
I was…
too cold.
Min-hye called.
Oh,
isn't she like one of your oldest friends? She was at Yi-young's graduation,
did our wedding toast too.
She couldn't get pregnant last year, so she opted for I-V-F.
-Oh? -Well uh…
she ended up getting pregnant.
Oh…
She's already turning one. Look.
So adorable, right?
Ahh, she's cute!
So…
you didn't wanna go to her party?
Mm-mm.
I didn't want to go
So I just made up a story.
Good for you.
I don't know why, but I'm annoyed she invited me.
I wish she wouldn't tip-toe around me either.
I get so angry when she calls me says she's "checking in".
The thing I hate the most right now is…
my own jealousy…
I'm so disgusted with it, you have no idea.
You're nervous about your blood test.
Don't be so hard on yourself, Joo-Young.
I hate what this is turning me into…
I feel like I'm such a huge mess lately.
C'mon, honey.
You're so strong.
But I know how you feel.
Your hands are so cold, oh my-
Let's go in, huh? Oof, ah!
So cold! Brrrr!
Hm?
Alright,
ooh, it's so cold.
Why're you packing already if you don't know when you're moving yet?
Gotta get a head start while I have spare time.
Second year is so busy you won't have time for this.
We could go clean your room instead?
I cleaned it last week.
Are you kidding…
I really cleaned it.
THAT'S clean to y…?
If second year's busier, will I be able to see you?
I'll be doing more deliveries.
Yeah, true.
Still, you won't have to
do all the crap you did in first year.
I heard we might not have R-ones.
Ooh…
if that happens, it'll be really tough.
Well, I can always quit medicine.
Don't.
C'mon, it was a bad joke.
Besides, I'm gonna have to work
till I clear my debt.
You know, actually, I'm pretty close.
Only nineteen million won left.
Whoa, almost there, huh?
Overdraft accounts…
don't you hate them?
Oh!
Uh.
Look… I'm gonna take care of this one myself, I think.
This drawer's just a huge mess.
Mhm.
Okay.
TO MY DO-WON FROM YOUR SONGSONG
My handsome sweetheart
studying so hard must be tough, honey pie.
But if it makes you feel better, I can hardly focus cus I miss you so much!
Oh, hold on a sec, that isn't mine.
Sometimes I feel like I care more about you than you do about me.
And then…
I get really sad!
What're you doing?
Were you guys just…?
Were you in some kinda fist fight?
Oh, Yi-young,
Lower your elbow! If you hit him in the solar plexus,
he's dead. Goodness.
When are you going to start acting your age?
God, you're sick, bro!
That's not true! Hang on!
It wasn't a fight, guys!
I was helping him with something!
Oh, right.
Please, please, please, please, please.
YOU WERE UNSUCCESSFUL
Ugh!
I always lose.
Wait, how old is this one?
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE WON 32,984,892 WON
Can I get a hot americano, please.
That'll be fifteen hundred. Thanks.
Yep, it went through.
Great.
They'll bring it out to you. Thanks.
Hi.
Oh Yi-young speaking.
Yes, hello, I'm calling from your bank.
It's regarding the extension of your overdraft account.
Oh,
my overdraft…
Yes, if you'd like to roll it over again next year--
I'd need to show proof of employment…
am I right?
Yes. If you choose not to roll it over and repay the balance on the account,
you'd owe just under twenty million won.
I'll do that.
Yeah, I'll just repay.
Alright then.
In that case, the account will remain valid
until January twenty-first.
Alright.
Thank so much.
Doctor Oh,
Well good morning, doctor.
You've assembled the data for this month, right?
Could you please send it my way tonight?
Include the patient and children's data for today's deliveries.
-You know, I could use some more time to- -Oh,
I have to do some MFICU post-op ultrasounds,
could you prepare that?
Make it quick.
Though coffee… is crucial.
No, I'm okay.
I'll be on my way. Gotta get to it.
Take my place in line though,
you go ahead.
What the…
We're working on it.
What's gotten into her?
Right, I think we can get it to you soon…
On our end… things be might a little
tighter unfortunately…
I don't think I've seen this before.
Hey!
Sun's out. Rise and shine.
Already?
You must not've slept again.
Mm-mm.
Yeah, it's that patient.
Her pain is getting worse so she's miserable.
All those calls, god.
Uhuh.
Are you sure…
it's smart to dose her that often?
Don't overdo it.
I don't give her drugs at night.
I just get up to check on her.
No… meds, huh?
Um.
What're you checking?
Well, as her pain gets worse,
she gets lonely and down on herself,
so to comfort her I…
mostly just hang out.
Oh.
Does that…
does that actually help dissipate her pain, though?
Huh?
She's not…
calling you because she wants to hang out. The problem's the pain, right?
So heartless.
You told me cancer's giving her pelvic pain but,
her whole body aches because of metastasis.
You've had her on morphine for three straight days and the pain is worse.
Mhm.
And you think I should just go home and not worry?
Wait, I'm not saying…
Hmm?
I think…
I think you and me are just polar opposites.
Whoa,
where you going?
Surgery.

How are her vitals?
Her BP is low.
EBL eleven hundred.
We're giving her vasopressors with the transfusions,
but her vitals aren't stablizing.
The tumor's been removed, and we've stopped most of the bleeding,
but her whole pelvic floor is oozing.
Let's move her.
We're transferring the patient to the ICU!
Got it.
She'll keep bleeding, is that okay?
Rolled gauze, please.
-Hello, yeah, I'm calling from OR-ten. -For now, we'll just apply
pressure to stop the bleeding.
-We're transferring So Won-ju to the ICU. -We won't find the
-microvascular hemorrhages. -Notify oncology please.
Her organs are too swollen right now.
If we keep delaying this…
things are just going to get worse for her.
All right, let's pack the inside. Once we get some compression,
we'll open her back up to check, then close.

Ma'am, please.
Couldn't we hold off for a few hours?
Please, just a bit longer.
I'm sorry but I just can't do this today.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
The baby's the one making this decision, not us.
Please push on the count of three.
One, two, three.
Congratulations, the baby's out.
Hello there!
Excellent job, Miss Yong.
Now, all we need to do is safely remove the placenta.
How is she?
Is she okay?
Yes, will give her to you shortly.
Doctor Oh,
Time for the placenta.
Of course.
Oh wait, me?
Oh, I'm not… ready to…
I've walked you through it.
Easy. Nice and easy…
Um, ease up a little…
Move aside.
Didn't I tell you not to try to pull it out all at once?
You completely severed the cord…
you were yanking on it way too hard.
I'm sorry, doctor.
Mom is Yong Hui-seon, Dad is Jeon Tae-san, correct?
Yeah.
I'm happy to say your little girl was born at four twenty-eight PM on
December thirty-first.
I'm so sorry, sweetheart!
I'm so sorry.
I gave birth to you…
way too early.
Stop it, okay? Hey, get the hell off me. This is all your fault, anyway!
I said stop it, you bastard.
Oh no.
It's the holiday season all right.
Doctor.
-Yes? -Uh,
-I was about to call you actually. -What's going on?
You better come with me and take a look.
Ok.
-She has cervical cancer, although… -Uhuh.
General weakness and dyspnea were her first complaints.
Uhuh.
Lab results are odd and inconclusive.
BP's always dropping.
She's bedridden too, to top it off.
BP's what right now?
Sixty over forty even though she's on pressors.
Well, that's a lot of bad news, isn't it?
She also made sure…
to put in a DNR.
She was pretty adamant.
Mm,
alright, thank you.
I'm gonna take a look
Oh, what's her name?
Yeom Mi-so.
Thirty-eight years old.
She was receiving follow-up care after her last round of chemotherapy here
in October.
Have you checked on Miss Yong?
How are her contractions?
Good
I've been up to see her, healthy contractions, no hematomas at all.
Good, alright.
How bout the fortune teller?
How'd that go?
Well, I called her psychic myself.
We found a middle ground.
Oh?
We decided being born on the first
is a sign of delayed luck, so the baby couldn't be the
president until eighty years old.
A December thirty-first birth…
just means she'll be the youngest in a different role:
the Prime Minister.
You're bad with placentas…
but you're good with patients, I guess.
Good work today.
Go get some dinner.
Thanks.
Yes.
Uhuh
right,
nothing's open.
There are no rooms available,
so her family's supposed to check in down here if they wanna see her.
Okay.
She likes quiet…
she likes solitude and stillness.
I'm sorry it's like this in here.
Oh, uh, do you know her?
Yeah,
she was my first patient when I started… in Gynecology.
You know I almost quit once…
she's the only reason I stayed.
Oh…
I should go finish her chart, but I'll be back in a little bit.
Hello, miss Yeom,
your brother's on his way to see you right now.
The supervising physician is coming too,
and I'm sorry, but you aren't doing that great.
Uh, would you…
still like to keep the DNR order in place?
Okay.
Uh, we're still continuing your Oxycodone…
uh…
your mouth looks a bit dry…
would you like me to get some wet gauze?
Uh…
Then um…
Um… there's uh…
nothing I can do right now
Uh-
You know…
I turned into a really good doctor.
I get lots of compliments.
That's all because of you.
Sabi-sabi,
-why're you here? -Oh,
just doing charts and…
watching the patient a little.
There's not all that much going on.
Go to the office, we'll call you when we need you.
No, I'm fine.
At least grab some food, alright?
I have to write up a surgical note,
so I'll hold down the fort for now.
It's… okay.
Doctor, her vitals are deteriorating.
Doctor, yes, So Won-ju is showing
signs of active bleeding.
Pulse jumped way up to the one-tens, and her BP is below sixty
even with norepi.
We can't do much at this point.
Yeah, all right.
The patient who just came down from OR-ten needs a re-op right away.
Yeah.
Ok, we're moving.
-Right. -Got it.
Get the camera outta my face!
I think you better come now.
Please, Doctor,
just one more hour.
Forget it, hurry up!
Ugh, it really hurts!
We're going to delivery.
-Uhuh. -Hold on a minute!
-Can't it wait a little longer? -Uh no, I'm sorry.
I live-streamed it was coming on new years.
-Please… -Just wait another hour.
I can't waste this opportunity.
Listen, it's not a waste.
It'll work out.
Trust me, I know all about this.
Really?
The child's ready to come out,
we have a delivery room ready.
Which means this is all perfect timing.
Alright, let's go.
-Oh, please hurry! -Mhm.
-Oh, honey. -Hello there!
Mom's name, Moon Jin-hui, Dad's name, Song Ji-hwan.
Congratulations, your baby was born
at eleven-oh-two on December thirty-first.
Alright.
I'm sorry you didn't get to have your New Year's baby, but I hope your child brings
-you as much joy- -Doctor, wait…
Everyone always says that newborns are ugly…
so why is she so beautiful?
You're right, she's gorgeous.
Doctor Oh,
it's your last chance this year.
You want to try?
-Alright… -Okay.
-No, sorry, you know what, I misheard you- -Here you go.
Now put your left hand there and…
and remove the placenta without breaking the cord.
Alright, the placenta is out.
Time to start the oxytocin please.
Got it.
Good, that's it.
DELIVERY ROOM
Not quite New Year's.
She must be a little down.
Not at all.
She came around, this way she gets to ring in
the New Year with her child.
She's busy filming with her husband as we speak.
Ah…
Professor…
you got what you wished for.
You mentioned you wanted an R-one to finish
up a birth before the year was over.
Oh, that's true.
Thank you both. It was a real pleasure.
And happy new year!
You were so terrible before, what happened?
What? Oh,
I was so…
embarassed,
that I always seem to…
keep messing up.
And just the thought that a…
a patient could suffer because of me, freaked me out.
So I took a look…
at some videos.
And…
I watched the videos over and over
and
I also practiced…
in the air… sorta like…
like this.
Why do you look so scared? I was complimenting you.
Okay…
Look at you go.
You did so well in there, I mean…
you looked a lot like me when I was an R-one.
Oh, really?
Hey, that's a huge accolade, ya know?
Ah…
Well, I'm flattered.
Ok, Yi-young,
there's somewhere I have to go.
-Wanna come? -Where to?
You'll love it.
Ugh…
Nodding off at the desk again?
Ahh!
Oh.
That's all you've managed to learn this year. How to sleep anywhere,
huh?
No, I'm sorry.
An employee that's on call should…
be working, not conked out.
No, uh… he's not on call…
tonight.
Why're you up, then?
Well uh, uh…
Hong Sa-ra's been in…
a lot of pain, doctor.
-Yeah, so? -Uh,
It's just that, um…
I've…
been trying to stay with her and talk with her
And see if there's
anything else
I can do for her…
It's Miss Hong, how about that.
-She must be in pain. -What?
Oh!
It's me…
hello, again.
Hi there…
Miss Hong, what do you need?
Oh, I'm… sorry, it's not that.
It's so weird, the pain is totally gone now.
Until today, I couldn't sleep cuz when I'd
brush up against the bedframe…
I would be in pain.
But tonight,
I slept four hours, it was so much better.
Are there any
signs of recovery there?
Uh…
Lab results are…
the same as they were.
Uh…
so…
I actually looked up a few new books earlier…
And in the research,
the Pain Control guidelines were pretty clear…
we tend to treat severe cancer discomfort with opioids,
but when large doses of those drugs don't work…
providing adjuvant drug alternatives is often effective for pain.
So I reviewed some related papers and I found that…
uh…
adding diazepam
and a little dexamethasone…
uh…
can reduce muscle spasms and
fight inflammation near the sarcoma as well.
Which does tend to…
to offer…
a little relief.
Um…
It felt like it was time to…
to try something other than just chatting and
hanging out with her.
You've been wonderful
Maybe it's because I slept so well,
but I saw my reflection…
and I don't look as sick as I used to.
My daughter's coming tomorrow…
I get to see her on New Year's Day,
and she'll be able to see me smiling for once.
I am so grateful doctor.
Oh, don't mention it.
Suddenly you
go above and beyond when I don't ask you to?
Oh,
yeah, I'm sorry.
I saw one of Sa-bi's books in the office…
Finally.
Better late than never. Crack a book more often.
I will. I'm sorry.
Listen up, Jae-il,
I'll send you an Excel data sheet about Ovarian cancer rates.
Collate it for me please.
Sure, I can do that.
And if the data pans out…
we'll write the article together and I'll make you the first author.
So don't ruin it.
Yep.
Goodnight, doctor.
Thanks, have a good night.
Oh my god!
Whoa, Jae-il, that's amazing!
Wh-wh-what?
Huh?
No, I'm telling you, Doctor Jo doesn't compliment anyone,
it's true!
That wasn't…
he didn't do that.
He wants to write an article with you. Are you kidding? That's huge!
I mean…
it's unheard of…
for doctor Jo to ask an R-one.
And HE came to YOU!
Whoa. I…
I don't think this has ever happened in Yulje's history.
Oh, is that good, though?
Duh, of course!
It's like…
he put a big sign on your forehead, like a stamp of approval!
You're gonna have a lot more on your plate.
Um Jae-il,
you nailed it, you're officially in.
Poof, just like that, you're not an idiot.
You know,
I thought I'd be an idiot forever. But watching the interns made me realize
I'm actually ok.
Yeah, you're not kidding.
Uh, who was it?
I dunno, there was this guy though…
he thought there was a patient with a skull fracture
when she had a runny nose,
And then he was all like,
-Hm? -"Doctor, um…
I think this might actually be an aortic dissection!"
He was completely serious, he called the attending physician.
Uh, that was back in March, I think.
Which intern was it…
That…
was me.
I diagnosed that patient.
Oh, that was hilarious, Jae-il!
Oh, Doctor Suh asked me to bring her something. Almost forgot.
Ugh! Be back later, ok?
Pretty sure she's gone already.
Weren't you…
holding onto that for a rare occasion?
Mhm,
and we got one today.
Did you win an award?
I didn't.
You got a raise?
Or did you…
-You're turning forty? -Ahh, yeah, no…
So what is it?
Thought I was pretty clear.
I got what I want: you're good at your job now.
Yesterday,
you sutured the uterus, and today…
you took the placenta out, cord and all…
it's easy to see you have a nice touch.
Even with shortcomings,
everyone winds up at roughly the same level eventually, you know.
Manual skills improve with repitition.
But to…
look up a procedure and practice it…
just to make sure you…
know the patient is in good hands with you.
That was surprising.
Especially considering you've always been desperate to quit.
So I'd say it's time…
to open this bottle.
It really wasn't all that great, doctor.
It would…
be nice to have a little sip though. Let's drink it!
You mean right now?
Hey, this is a hospital.
We're not drinking it now.
Oh,
why are we here then?
Take it, it's a present.
It's a perfect night for a drink.
Oh, I can't accept that.
Let's have a drink some other time.
I want you to take it, so take it.
Are you sure?
I'm honored, thank you so much.
Hello.
Oh really?
Alright, sounds good.
That was quick. Nam Seol-i is fully dilated.
Already
She's pushing as we speak, I better head out.
See ya later.
Hey, crack that open and let loose, alright?
Wait, doctor!
I'll drink that bottle another night.
I said you can leave.
You're not on call tonight.
Yeah, I know it's just…
As her attending I wanna see her child.
Yes doctor.
Of course, I'm on my way.
Transfer the patient, please!
Okay, here we go, I want you to push.
Push!
Good job, you're almost there.
Just one last push, and you'll be able to meet your baby.
Doctor Oh,
the baby's coming.
You'll deliver.
What?
-Oh… -Oh
Doctor
It'll be just like the pottery wheel scene in Ghost.
Let's go!
Ok.
Alright, Miss Nam,
just give us one more big push now, please.
That's good, now you need to lower the head slightly so we can…
get the anterior shoulder out.
There.
The shoulder's out.
Support the neck with one hand,
now slide your other hand down…
yep, down toward the buttocks…
Uh… uh, the baby is out.
Oh sweetheart.
You did it, honey.
Oh, honey.
You did great.
I'm so proud of you.
How's the baby?
The baby's doing fine, the baby's great.
Hello there.
Good job.
I'll take over. Sound good?
Congratulations, Miss Nam!
The baby is healthy.
We'll bring her over soon.
-Oh my god, I'm so glad. -Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
You did a great job. Great job, honey.
-Here's your baby. -Hey, honey.
It's me!
I'm happy you came into the world tonight.
We both are.
Mother's name, Nam Seol-i,
And the father's name, Do Se-ho.
Your baby was born January first twenty-twenty four
at exactly midnight. Congratulations.
Really?
Hey, congratulations!
Right on New Year's!
Congratulations.
That's incredible.
ANESTHESIA ELAPSED TIME CURRENT TIME SURGERY ELAPSED TIME
So…
how's it going?
Everything's fine.
I'm tapering off the norepi,
and her vitals are still stable.
Seems like we've got it in hand.
Yep, there's no bleeding either, doctor.
Ah. I was…
terrified that something…
was gonna go wrong.
Okay, now we can finally-
Close up her stomach for good.
Can I get a One-oh please.
Yes, Doctor.
Oh, everyone,
I wish you all…
a Happy New Year.
Oh!
Look, it's past midnight.
-Hey, Happy New Year! -Happy New Year, everyone!
-Woohoo! Happy New Year. -Happy New Year, guys.
Happy New Year.
Thanks. You too, doctor Kim.
Right when she…
wakes up, let's say to her,
"Oh my god, it's been so long…
we almost didn't recognize you."
"We met last year, remember?"
"Oh! Whoa,
wow!
I can't believe it! You're suddenly so much healthier."
Or not.
It's funny, right Sa-bi?
It okay, don't pretend.
I know it wasn't funny.
But the thing is, dumb little jokes like that…
they loosen the patient up, and get them laughing…
it brightens their day.
That, in turn, speeds up their recovery.
Noona,
say hi to Mom for us, alright?
I hope we meet again.
And then,
I'll never have to leave you behind.
January first, twenty-twenty four.
Time of death, Twelve-fifteen.
Miss Yeom has passed, I'm sorry.
Mi-so
SYSTEM IS SHUTTING DOWN
Sorry, excuse me, Doctor,
My sister…
did she suffer in the end?
I was hoping she didn't.
Please tell me her death was painless and quick.
Unfortunately she was in pain quite often,
so we had her on a cocktail of drugs.
But I'm sure…
the pain subsided in the end. Don't worry.
So she was all alone here, wasn't she?
She was so lonely all her life,
and I left her here.
She was by herself in the end.
No, sir…
I spent a little time with your sister.
I tried to speak to her.
I held her hand.
There's a hymn she liked,
so I let her listen to it.
I believe the music helped, she seemed at peace in the end.
Thank you so much.
DEATH CERTIFICATE
IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF DEATH
I need an OBGYN doctor here!
Okay ma'am, take deep breaths for me.
Nice and slow, nice and slow.
What's going on?
Uh, she was just at home and her water broke.
And she came straight over here from the parking lot.
Oh,
how far along? Is this her first?
Uh…
-I don't, I don't know… -Thirty-five weeks.
And it's
it's my second one.
My due date… still isn't for a while.
Oh!
I-
I can see the baby's head coming out.
Wait-
she's gonna have to give birth here. Oh,
please tell delivery
-get the on-call supervisor! -You got it.
-Please bring me a delivery set. -Yes, Doctor.
-Your OBGYN? -Yes.
Right…
-I'm sorry, husbands have wait out- -Honey,
honey.
Doctor,
are the baby and my wife going to be okay? What's happening?
The child's coming.
Hey, it's ok.
Oh, Honey…
Everything's going to be okay.
It hurts so bad!
I'm pretty sure there's no chance of the child falling here.
Just stay calm and catch it.
Okay.
Wait.
Are you a…
Don't worry I'll be right here, Honey.
All right, deeper breaths, please. Take deep breaths.
Okay
take a breath in,
a nice deep breath, and then push at the same time.
Push!
Okay, good. Great job. Now, let's do that once more, alright?
Okay, one more deep breath please. Good.
You're doing great.
Now, I want you to push, go ahead.
Push!
Great!
Alright the baby's on it's way out.
Now,
for the final push.
Oh, ok.
All right, ma'am.
One last time, I want you to take a big
deep breath and push.
Ready,
just one more deep breath, then push. Here we go. Now, one more push, that's it!
Ma'am, I need you to hold a bit
longer when you push.
Just breathe in again
and push out.
Okay, push now!
One, two, three
push!
Time, twelve twenty-four, January first. Sex, male.
Congrats, ma'am. You did great.
It's a good thing he's crying.
Aw, it's okay, it's okay.
What happened here?
Mm-hm.
Oh, she's a multipara, her water broke early,
she came in crowning, she almost didn't make it, Professor.
He looks okay.
Let's move upstairs to finish.
You did great tonight.
Oh.
Huh?
Where'd he go?
Doctor, the baby's fine.
Alright.
Hey, are you okay?
Mm-
Oh! Oh, oh Ms.
So! Can you hear me okay? Are you alright?
Yes.
What about you?
How're you holding up?
Huh? Oh.
Good.
Oh, uh…
Yeah, I've had my eye on her.
Her urine output's good and her vitals are stable, so I…
so I've been tapering off her norepi.
Miss So, I checked your lab results, they look pretty good.
All you need to do now
is focus on…
recovering from your surgery, ma'am.
And, also…
Uh…
ah!
We had some tricky things to navigate in surgery,
the bleeding was difficult to control and there were-
you know what?
I can tell you a bit later in more detail.
Wait. That's not all.
Ah,
you'll…
be moved to the ward as soon as your bed's ready, alright? Uh,
and then I'll explain everything else.
Sound good?
Hang on, guys, I still have more to say.
I know it's been a long time.
But you look so much better
than you did last year.
Gosh!
Oh, wow!
And uh
since then,
your health…has really improved a lot.
It's Janaury…
1st, right?
The professor said that getting you to laugh might speed up recovery.
Get well soon.
Thanks for taking care of me for two years.
It must've been a tough job.
Hope you have a happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Miss so.
We will. Happy new year!
Hey.
You awake?
Rise and shine!
Oh, oh.
You just get in?
Ow…
Did you guys…
sleep here last night?
Couldn't make it out the door.
Oh, I'm so hungry.
Me too.
I could eat a whole elephant.
Mm,
it's actually good.
Except the rice cakes are bloated.
Aren't swollen rice cakes a sign of abundance in the New Year?
I thought that was only in the Fall.
Well no, abundance is always good.
Abundant wealth, abundant pleasure,
abundant work, too…
wait, not that.
-Hmm. -On that note…
I checked out the horoscope for the year.
It's gonna be very dry apparently…
except for a deluge of work.
Sounds like R-two, right?
You know what Eun-mi said?
We should expect to be twice as busy as we are now.
Ugh,
I'll never make it.
I don't want to.
Why should I?
Ugh, here we go.
Just watch, she'll stick it out the longest.
At this point, it's mostly hot air.
So I've been meaing to tell you guys…
I'm not doing the second year.
Think I'll quit sometime after February.
Hey, we have any Kimchi?
Mm-mm, Kimchi's all gone.
Jae-il, this is better by itself.
Hey
I'm serious.
I wasn't gonna say this but I got a lottery ticket,
So…
I won the jackpot.
I don't need to have a job anymore.
Prove it.
-Uh-uh. -You kidding me?
Okay I'll prove it.
Look…
you've pobably never seen this.
Ta-da!
This will pay off my debt.
I won't have to work my fingers to the bone as a resident anymore.
I mean, I'll probably just kick back and then…
find a new job somewhere else.
No rush.
Oh no.
Oh boy.
What?
This can't be right-
THE CLAIM PERIOD HAS EXPIRED
Please no.
Oh God!
What's everybody taking?
A taxi.
-The bus. -Me too.
Taking the bus.
Oh wait a minute? Oh!
Why is nothing going my way?
Sorry, bye guys!
Where's she going?
On a date, obviously
Oh.
Ah!
Ugh, ah, ah, ah, ow God!
-Oww! Ow. -What?
What's the matter?
The envy's killing me.
I'm so jealous. Ugh.
Good one.
See you later.
Goodbye.
-Happy New Year. -You too.
Let's go.
Mm.
Wow, it's snowing.
Fresh snow on January first.
Oh,
Jo Joon-Mo asked me to write an article about Ovarian cancer.
So that would mean that…
the first-ever R-one to get Professor Jo's blessing would be this guy here.
Professor Jae-Hui did a paper on ovarian cancer that might…
be…a really good reference for organizing all of the trial groups that you want.
Cool. Thanks.
You remember every article you read. How do you do it?
File them based on value and chronological order.
I also never move on to a new page or new chapter til my questions are resolved.
That's the core tenet.
Your "core tenets" make you so cute…
Look, I…
I think you know I'm, um…
well, the kind of person who has to satisfy their curiosity, so…
are you… catching feelings?
I didn't want to assume, so I analyzed the evidence.
Number one, karaoke bar.
Number two was the churros.
And then number three…
the wheelchair thing.
Cus you pretended you were in pain when you weren't…
Alright.
You're being so thorough. You don't have to study me, ok?
Besides, what's there to be so curious about, huh?
Of course I…
have a crush.
I'll admit it, it's true.
Hypothesis confirmed.
I…
like you a lot.
And you?
-Look, if you have feelings for me too- -I don't.
I do think of you, once in a while…
I even miss you sometimes, it's just that…
I don't think I can go out with you yet.
One of my core tenets is to get to know someone
through a full year before we date.
I mean look, I'm not proposing here.
Core tenets don't matter right now.
Yeah they do.
Hey, we only just met last March, so I think…
we need… to…
get better acquainted first.
You know me already though.
I'm not complex, Sa-bi.
And I really like you, so come on.
Listen, would you stop saying that?
Hey, Kim Sa-bi,
I really, really like you.
-No, I said stop it! -I'm into you, Sa-bi!
Knock it off.
Are you heading out?
Yeah.
Mm.
Are you okay?
Huh?
Oh.
Yeah.
Thanks for…
your help today.
Yeah.
Uh, Doctor.
I chose a concentration, you know.
Oh yeah?
Don't you want to know which one it is?
OBGYN.
I'll be working with you.
You will?
You're not joking?
Don't go back on you word.
I won't let you change it. Ok?
Ok.
You won't regret this, trust me. You chose the right specialty.
And I'll… I'll go easy on you.
Kay.
I hope we work well together.
Me too.
Mm…
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I've been all over the place today.
Oh! Oh, uh…
Huh?
How how did you know where I was?
You didn't pick up and you weren't in your office,
so I thought you'd be here.
It's still January first.
It's eleven-forty. Twenty minutes left.
Happy New Year!
Um…
Yeah,
-Happy New Year, yeah. -What a day…
there were so many unexpected births,
every time I turned around someone was in labor. And I almost…
paid off my debt, then it turned out I didn't
win cuz the date was expired. Today's just been really…
I wasn't gonna give it to you like this
I was really hoping to…
surprise you…
Well, what is it?
Oh, this. I thought you…
deserved a reward for getting through R-one.
Plus, I hope…
you'll stay the course in R-two and keep going.
Right.
I appreciate that. Thank you, doctor.
Hey,
your seat, is okay?
What'd you mean?
Uh, under…
underneath.
I'm sorry that this moment isn't more special.
You mind?
So what's this…
why do I deserve this ring?
You're wonderful.
We now invite today's guest to the stage for his retirement speech. Im Dong-ju,
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
RETIREMENT CEREMONY FOR PROFESSOR IM DONG-JU OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY
It's been forty years since I began here.
A Doctor…
in OBGYN.
I've exchanged countless greetings with patients over the years…
And in honoring the Hippocratic Oath, we must also accept that
where there is life, there is death.
But the farewell I must say to all of you today is the most difficult moment of
my long career.
You know, it's not easy to admit this…
but when I began
It took me longer than most to find my way.
I wasn't a promising student…
I felt very insecure for awhile.
And I spent so much time with my nose in a book,
that I never learned how to become a better Doctor.
Despite those shortcomings,
I've been lucky enough to make it all the way to retirement.
But that would never have happened without all the wonderful people I've met here
at Yulje.
With your dedication and support,
all of you have allowed me to maintain my faith and trust in this profession,
through every moment of despair,
I wanted to choose someone who could inspire faith and trust in any situation.
And every instance of joy.
Someone that could inspire all of us.
So I asked all the nurses and residents…
since they work with the entire medical staff…
to submit their thoughts,
because they have a little more insight into the
candidates
compared to those of us sitting behind a desk.
I must say it was incredibly helpful.
Taking all that into consideration…
I'd like to appoint a doctor…
with the utmost ntegrity and a forthright approach…
someone who holds process above outcomes…
a person we can all rely on.
So I've decided…
that our new Professor will be…
this young woman
right here.
Yes, hello, Professor.
I really appreciate you giving me the news in advance.
Oh, no, I'm fine, don't worry about that.
Thank you, Professor.
Alright.
Many patients…
have also served as great teachers…
as I've tried to improve as a doctor…
and more importantly, as a human being.
In particular, I have to thank those who gave
me the courage to fail boldly, the humility to learn,
and the insight to know
when it's time to let go.
Those're the reasons…
I've been able to…
grow and flourish as a person.
Well, your blood test indicates…
a level below point two for HCG.
Ah…
You're not pregnant.
Not this round.
Uh,
Doctor, do you think…
uh… would a…
a second blood panel be a good idea?
I don't think that will help, I'm sorry.
Oh,
I understand.
You should take a break for a few months,
and focus on boosting your health so that you're in good head space moving forward.
And when you're ready…
we can start over from step one.
We've had some people go through ten rounds
before their IVF finally worked.
I know that.
I truly admire the kind of courage they all have.
-Mm. -I just don't think…
I have one more round in me, Doctor.
So…
I'm going to stop here.
Right.
Alright, it's…
time to stop, then.
I'm sure if we were already parents
we'd be happy to stop.
How great it must be to say…
"awww…
I think I was born to be a mother to this little child."
I know everyone thinks you need kids to feel complete…
and without them our lives are hardly even worth living…
well, I'm gonna prove everyone wrong.
Cus if this is what they call an incomplete life,
I'd say it can be pretty darn good.
I'll have to look within myself…
to discover the joy that a child would've brought us.
In the next stage of my life…
I won't worry anymore.
I will be kind to myself.
I can live happily again.
Thank you so much for everything.
Of course.
I wish you the best.
Thanks to everyone,
I can leave this profession behind
without any regrets
or misgivings.
For that…
I am grateful.
Thank you…
Thank you for everything.
Oh gosh.
Thank you. Thank you all. This is very kind.
I've been seeing you a lot.
Mmm.
Funerals, retirements…
it's been pretty hectic.
Gosh, it's crazy how time flies, huh?
Our revered professor's hanging up his white coat.
I know.
Feels like yesterday he was teaching our med school classes.
Hey, remember…
when we had to play new mothers in labor?
Not everyone took to the exercise very well.
Oh yeah.
Lee Ik-jun screamed so loud he got vocal nodules.
Put on a quite a show.
No, I mean it, I'm so jealous. Seriously, I'm jealous.
-Hello, Professor. -Oh,
-hey, how are you? -Good morning.
-Hello, doctor. -Ah.
It's our intrepid R-ones!
This is Professor Yang Seok Hyeong from the main branch.
-Oh. -Hello
-oh, it's a pleasure. -nice to meet you.
Go get yourselves some breakfast.
Make sure you're ready for rounds, alright?
-Will do. -Yep.
-You know, you sound like you hate it. -What? No, I said I don't hate it.
Hey,
I am jealous!
Ugh. Seriously, guys.
-Those are your R-ones? -I know! Tell me about it.
-Mhm. -Oh, you're buying today.
Adorable, right?
-Yes, I second this motion. -Skilled as well.
-Ok, the motion carries! -But I'm broke.
Competent, capable, good judgement,
and strong nerves.
-Oh stop it. -Mmm.
And how would you know?
Uh…
You know me, I can just tell by looking.
Are you telling me you're clairvoyant?
It's clear as day you were the one who taught them all, right?
You were always an excellent teacher.
If you weren't in that study group, I would've flunked out.
That was several lifetimes ago.
Although, I gotta say I'm really awesome.
You're not wrong.
I'm great at teaching.
No, I know you are.
And that's why…
I'm trusting you… with one of my best people.
Oh, uh…
I just wanted to say hi.
Ah, there she is!
Good to see you outside a conference.
Yes, likewise, doctor.
It's so wonderful to see you again.
Yes, you too.
The thing is…
I feel a bit nervous to…
put my trust in someone like you.
Huh? Why though?
Everyone I ask tells me you're such a spectacular person,
and I find that hard to comprehend.
Oh,
well I…
I have been known to pick up the check once in a while.
I've also heard something else
that you're overly modest too!
Uh, Doctor…
ah! Sorry, um.
Professor, it's been too long.
Congrats on your new position!
Don't make this awkward…
just try to act normal, Do-won.
Aw, I can't do that, no!
You're a professor now,
gotta suck up to you.
Must be lucky to have someone like you on my side…
right from the get-go,
mm?
All humor aside, I look forward to working with you.
Oh, and this is Doctor Myeong Eun-won.
Oh, right, you…
-worked at the main office together. -Uh,
we did.
Yeah, it's been a while, Doctor.
Uh,
I hope I'll be able to rely on you here.
Great
I hope…
you willl feel at home here…
Professor.
Oh, thanks.
It's much appreciated.
Congrats, Professor Chu Chu!
I asked for a bouquet prettier than you,
but the florist said that doesn't exist!
I thought you were alone.
Sorry.
That was my husband.
Uh, he must've thought we'd finished up here.
-Uh, -Mm.
Well, he's always had a big heart, you know?
Anyway, thank you all for the warm welcome, I'll…
do my very best to be worthy of this.
We will too!
Welcome, congrats!
Congratulations!
-See you around! Bye! -Bye! See you later!
I genuinely didn't think she would last a year.
-I know. -I was wondering…
do you think she finds joy in her work yet?
I hoped she would've found a sense of purpose.
Honestly, I doubt it.
You think?
She's still Sixteen million in debt, right?
-Mhm. -Well, let's hope she never
manages to pay it off.
Mhm.
What if we increased her rent this year?
Oh…
what are they doing?
Are the two of them holding hands?
Holding hands?
The fist fight!
Oh, you're right. Oh!
Guess they finally made up, huh!?
Aw, gosh,
they were being so stubborn, you'd think they'd never
talk to each other again.
-Not the case. -I know.
Ah, look…
