(Deputy Director Oh Ki Tae)
Si Joon gave up on his rights to explain himself...
and didn't even show up.
I think he's willing to accept whatever decision...
the disciplinary committee makes.
Then we don't need to worry.
Don't waste any more time. Deal with it by today.
Okay, ma'am.
(Deputy Director Oh Ki Tae)
(Turn off device)
What I want to know is...
if this illness is fully curable.
It can get better...
as long as you get it treated for a long period of time.
Approximately how long will it take?
I get that it's different for each person,
but how long does it take in average?
How many hospitals have you been to?
This is my sixth.
I understand that you're very anxious.
Why did I develop this kind of illness?
Is it genetic?
According to what I looked up on the internet,
a lot of people with this illness...
had conflicts with their mothers at a young age.
Is that why I got this illness?
It's more important to know about yourself...
rather than the diagnosis.
Can you tell me about yourself?
It can be about your childhood or anything else you want to share.
My childhood?
You play a very important role in the treatment.
Okay.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the beep.
Why is his phone turned off?
I guess he's busy.
It's not a big deal that his phone is turned off.
When can we get our food?
It'll be right there
Table number five, right?
Enjoy.
What? Photos?
Are you saying the deputy director made someone follow Dr. Lee?
Yes, I think so.
I can't take this anymore.
Dr. Park. Sir!
If you meet the deputy director now, it'll only get into a fight.
He had nothing better to do than to tail someone?
Ki Tae was not this kind of person.
Why is he so obsessed about becoming the head of the center?
You guys went to school together.
So why don't you talk about it over some drinks?
You should talk about it in a more comfortable setting.
That way, you'll be able to have a proper conversation.
There's no need for a conversation. He crossed the line.
Ki Tae, why are you embarrassing yourself?
What?
Are you going to ignore that I'm your boss?
You weren't like this in the past.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
You have no idea how angry I am because of Si Joon.
You can go ahead and be the center head.
I'll do everything I can to make sure you get the position.
Who do you think you are? Who are you to approve of that?
You became the deputy director thanks to me as well.
You didn't know that, did you?
Please do me a favor and learn how to be a decent person.
- You little jerk! - Why you little jerk!
Gosh, it hurts. Stop. That hurts.
You're no match for me.
I don't think you'll ever learn your lesson.
But even so,
let's not become beasts.
Darn him.
(Gongbap Restaurant, Preparing for business)
I'm really sorry about last time.
I wasn't exactly in the right either.
- You weren't wrong. - No.
I was wrong.
I made you angry a lot of times.
I have terrible mood swings.
I'm really sorry about everything.
- Gong Ji Sun. - What's going on?
Why have you changed so much?
I'll grit my teeth to try.
Grit your teeth to do what?
To try and live like others.
If I ever explode and we fight again,
can you give me a little time?
I'll show remorse right away.
What? Why are you being so submissive?
Fighting with you...
made me feel so lonely.
That's why.
Tell Dr. Lee to come and eat.
Can I do that?
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the beep.
You will be charged.
- He's not answering? - His phone was off all day.
- He must be busy. - Then call Ji Hee...
and ask what he's doing.
I could do that.
Dr. Lee's not here.
The disciplinary committee met today,
and he just left.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the beep.
You will be charged.
Wait.
I can't be impulsive.
Let's calm down and think.
One. Something huge happened at work.
Two. He came home.
Three. He turned off his phone...
because he wants to be alone.
Four. Is it right for me to ring his doorbell?
See? He didn't go far. He's at home.
At a time like this,
I should wait for him in silence.
In a narrow but deep ravine
By a small spring where clear water flows
Hidden among pretty wildflowers
Is a four-leaf clover that bloomed from drinking dew
One leaf
Two leaves
Three leaves
Four leaves
Control my emotions.
(New message)
I'm okay. I'm just resting for a while.
Dr. Lee. Cheer up.
1 heart for you, 2 hearts for you.
Cheer up, doctor. You're the best.
You are the best. Cheer up.
Good luck.
A month's suspension?
I just don't believe it.
Reduced pay is bad enough, but suspension?
Did you talk to Si Joon?
He kept his phone turned off.
I think he's very disappointed.
I'm worried he might hit rock bottom again.
You don't think he'll resign or something, would he?
I don't know about that.
He's pretty unpredictable.
Oh, gosh.
Woo Jung.
I heard about Dr. Lee.
Don't you think it's harsh?
A suspension means that...
he can't be promoted for 18 months and his pay will be docked.
Woo Jung, don't you think we should...
arrange something especially for him?
Shouldn't we get together to cheer him up?
Today, I'm going to my part-time teaching job.
At the academy, cute students are waiting for me.
- I'm very popular there. - Gosh.
- Believe it or not. - She's full of energy.
This is where I teach. Tada.
I'll go and spend a hard-working day.
Goodbye!
Dr. Lee, it's something about Woo Joo.
I made a huge mistake.
What is it? Why are you so hesitant?
Dr. Lee. I made a huge mistake.
I told Woo Joo that she's borderline.
- What? - She said...
she'd see another doctor to find out,
so I had no choice. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
How did you find out? Did you see her chart?
Dr. In told me to research the summoning method...
for PTSD treatment.
I was reading the charts and...
I'm sorry.
It would've been so nice if you were slightly more flawed.
Then I could like you more freely.
Wouldn't it be great if you weren't a doctor?
It would've been even better if you didn't have a job.
What do you want?
Why would a patient's father come to see the doctor?
- Say what you want. - What was it?
"Methylphenidate"? It's a stimulant.
A kid...
You know he's under-aged.
How could you prescribe a stimulant without the parents knowing?
Are you in your right mind?
Do you want to lose your license?
I never prescribed it.
And Jin Woo's mother knows all about it.
I don't know where you got the wrong idea,
but I'm just a doctor trying to treat Jin Woo.
My wife said she had no idea.
There must be a reason...
she couldn't tell you the truth.
- What? - You can...
look up the records and find out who prescribed the pills.
Goodbye.
This hospital.
It was humiliated on national media.
Unless you want to be humiliated too,
you'd better do as I say.
What are you saying?
To keep me quiet,
give me one large bill.
You'd better think carefully.
Tell me your symptoms
Tell me everything honestly
Then I will diagnose you properly
Don't be...
I was hoping to see some talented students.
But no one seems to be good enough.
You should give them a chance.
There are other students.
Maybe there's a problem with the teacher.
I don't see any point in meeting any more students.
But why did you hire people like them to teach the kids?
One person has anger control issues.
And the other stopped singing on stage after doing ensembles...
because he wasn't good enough.
They're not qualified to teach anyone.
Sir, please.
You're crossing the line.
What? Did I say something wrong?
You never cast people based on their competence...
Hey.
I'm sorry.
Sir, there are a lot of talented students here.
I hope you reconsider.
Ms. Han, don't you lose your temper these days?
You would've lost it and threw a fit if this happened in the past.
Why did you become so calm? It's kind of boring.
Sir, I've changed. I don't behave like I used to.
Nonsense. People rarely change.
You're right. But I'll show you...
that people can change.
Sir, let's go to my office and talk separately.
Sir, come this way.
Good job.
Yes, I did well.
It's more important to know about yourself...
rather than the diagnosis.
Can you tell me about yourself?
It can be about your childhood or anything else you want to share.
What's on your mind?
What?
What are you doing here?
How did you know I was here?
You sent me a video this morning saying you're off to work.
Wasn't that a message telling me to come by?
No, it wasn't.
Oh, really? I guess I was mistaken.
- I should go. - No.
I love that you're here.
I thought you'd stay home for a few days.
That was my plan.
But I wanted to see you.
How do you feel?
You must be really upset and frustrated.
How about you?
Me?
This is quite sudden. What do you mean?
Do you sleep well at night?
How do you feel?
You look very cheerful.
But are you really in a good mood, or are you just making an effort?
I told you that I don't want to be your patient.
That's why I'm getting treated by another doctor.
I don't want you to treat me like a patient.
Are you that bothered about showing me your illness?
Yes, it bothers me.
Isn't that natural?
I just want to impress the person I love.
For the past couple of days, I thought about...
why I'm like this.
I wondered if I was just born this way...
or if I had experienced something during my childhood.
I wish someone could tell me what I was like.
I can help you with that.
No, it's okay.
This time, I want to find the answer on my own.
How?
First, I'm going to visit the orphanage I grew up at.
Do you know anyone there?
The director of the orphanage was a nun. I'm sure she remembers me.
Will you be okay? Should I go with you?
I'll go by myself.
This time, I really think I should go there alone.
Woo Joo.
You know that you're not alone, right?
Yes, I know.
Why did you tell her that when even her doctor stayed quiet?
I had no choice.
You're a doctor. You should know what to say and what not to say.
Do you think I didn't look into it because I was stupid?
I just didn't feel the need to know.
I didn't want to become biased,
and I knew it wouldn't have helped with anything.
No wonder she acted so differently.
No wonder she tried so hard to make things work.
Ji Hee, you're unbelievable!
You'd better not tell me what her illness is.
I don't even want to know.
I'm not stupid. Why would I make the same mistake?
My gosh, she's unbelievable.
When is Dr. Noh going to come?
He's on his way.
You're here.
How long has she been like this?
It's been about five minutes.
She's having severe seizures and hallucinations.
When did she get readmitted?
Five days ago.
Ms. Kim, do you recognize me?
I think she has delirium tremens.
Take her to the isolation ward and monitor her vitals.
Give her an IV drop and lorazepam.
Okay.
(Delirium tremens: A seizure usually caused by the withdrawal of alcohol)
Let's take her to the isolation ward.
Why isn't Dr. Lee answering my calls?
He hasn't been answering any of ours.
I'm sure one day,
people will recognize what a great doctor he is.
Bye.
Dr. In.
What happened in the ward?
Ms. Kim Young Seon, who got readmitted five days ago,
showed withdrawal symptoms, and I took care of it.
Sir.
I don't think Dr. Lee deserves a one-month suspension.
- And? - I know that the deputy director...
doesn't like Dr. Lee.
I don't think the committee made a fair decision.
So what's your point?
Why aren't you doing anything?
Shouldn't you gather all of us and complain about the result?
You must be very dissatisfied with me.
But I'm sorry to tell you that I don't plan to do anything.
I think you're greatly mistaken about something, Woo Jung.
If you want to help Dr. Lee,
do what you can as a doctor.
Take better care of your patients and the juniors.
Fighting with you made me feel so lonely.
That's why.
Gosh, I wonder how bad her illness is.
I put up a sign saying we're closed.
Yes, I know.
I came in because the lights were on.
I think I came just in time.
Dr. Noh, you always show up at the right time.
What's wrong? Are you angry about something?
I wouldn't say I'm angry.
I'm just sad.
What can I do to make you feel better?
You like classical music, so let's listen to some music first.
Wait. Dr. Noh, wait right here.
Wait here for just a second.
Goodness.
That's a cello.
The thing is,
I brought it here because I wanted to play it for you one day.
And I think today is that day.
(Gongbap Restaurant)
You told me...
that your life changed drastically when you were six years old.
- Winter sea - Winter sea
You stepped on it.
Wait!
No, don't. Stop it.
No.
(St. Mary Hanawon)
May I help you?
Hello.
I grew up here when I was little.
My name is Han Woo Joo.
Oh, hello.
Wait.
What's your name again?
My name? Han Woo Joo.
It's so nice to meet you.
You know me?
(Han Woo Joo)
We found this in the late Sister Lucia's belongings.
We knew it belonged to someone...
who grew up at our orphanage.
But we didn't know how to reach you.
So we've been keeping it here.
What is this?
I don't know.
She passed away all of a sudden.
She never told me about this.
I think there's something inside.
(Han Woo Joo)
But what brings you here all of a sudden?
Is it your first time visiting after you left?
Yes. To be honest,
I came to meet Sister Lucia.
I had no idea she had passed away.
She may not be here.
But you're free to sit around for a while if you want.
The food here is really nice.
Thank you.
(Han Woo Joo)
(St. Mary Hanawon)
(To my daughter, Woo Joo, From your mother)
(Episode 28)
Did you have lunch?
Dr. Lee. I love you.
Why would you love me? That's gross.
Dr. Lee. Don't worry about the hospital. I'm standing guard.
Dr. Lee. I miss you already.
Dr. Lee. I miss you a lot. Come back soon.
What's all this? Did they plan it?
Why are they all texting me?
Oh? He read it.
Mine too.
He must be up and about.
I might get indigestion.
You said you wanted to talk and you're just eating.
Say whatever it is you want to say. I'm busy.
Why on earth would you be busy when you were suspended?
Did you come to spy on me?
In case I curled up and slept on my couch for a month?
I thought so at first,
but seeing you had a jog tells me you're feeling better.
Are you that worried about me?
You don't know that...
your father asked me to look out for you, do you?
- When? - When you...
first said you'd join my department.
He used to hit me for that.
That's what fathers do.
Si Joon.
This is the first time I'm saying this to you,
but to be honest, I'm rooting for you.
You were reprimanded,
but you weren't reprimanded for your heart.
Shallow fools like Oh Ki Tae will never know,
but the spirits will know you meant well.
And more than anything, the patients know that.
I knew it.
Someone like you should head the new center.
There's no way I'll get the job.
Don't give up.
Mr. Deputy Director might become head.
Ki Tae?
No way.
I have a plan.
Though I'm not sure it'll work.
What is it?
Eat your food.
How do you feel?
I scared you last time, didn't I?
I'm sorry.
Do you still feel like a burning fire is in your chest?
It's here. Today, it's up here.
Why is it so far up? Is something wrong?
Yesterday, my daughter asked me to make Korean pancakes.
That was my late son's favorite food.
Before I knew it, I was screaming at my daughter...
just because she asked for Korean pancakes.
Your daughter...
won't have understood why you suddenly got angry.
You know,
I thought that crying was my special right.
Because I'm a mom.
But my daughter said she's sick of...
seeing me cry, so now she hates her brother.
I got so furious when I heard that.
So I yelled at my daughter to leave.
She must've been distressed to see you sad all the time.
My family is crumbling.
It must be hard on everyone, including you and your daughter.
My son...
died because...
I'm poor and have no connections.
If we had money and connections,
we wouldn't have sent him to the army.
Ma'am!
Hey, wait.
Excuse me. Can you listen to me for a second?
- I have a son... - I'm sorry.
- I'm busy right now. - Wait.
I'm right here. You can talk to me.
Is it because you felt suffocated inside the office?
I want everyone in the world to know about my son.
I want them to know how kind my son was.
I want to tell everyone.
I think she feels so bitter to see her son...
being forgotten from this world.
I'm sure she's full of resent.
Even family members are forbidden to mention his name.
I can't imagine how hard it is for her.
I guess that patient gave you a hard time as well.
Strangely, whenever I listen to her,
it's hard for me to stay composed.
When I listen to her, my heart aches.
Did you just scoff?
No way.
I could just picture how you would've reacted.
How you would've consulted her,
and how you would've chased after her.
Young Won.
Should I work at your hospital?
What are you talking about?
Will you accept me if I go?
But you like researching...
and teaching students besides treating patients.
Is that how I seem to you?
That just sounds like I'm unqualified.
What's wrong?
Did something bad happen at the hospital?
No, I'm just...
a little exhausted.
Dong Hyuk, even if everyone in this world goes crazy,
- you should stay the same. - Why?
To me, you're that kind of person.
Young Won.
I'm not that normal either.
I'm just pretending to be.
Dr. In, you better not ignore me.
Do you think I don't have proof?
I'll give you three days.
This is ridiculous.
- What's the text about? - What?
It's just a ridiculous text.
Do you think I don't have proof?
"This time, a big dog tried to lick Nils with its red tongue."
"I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"Stop tormenting me."
"Nils ran around the whole garden frantically."
"Then, he started to hang onto the giant Morten's back."
"Please help me!"
"Nils ran into a stable."
"The cows looked at Nils with a dumbfounded look and laughed."
"After that, Nils became a very polite and kind child."
The end.
(Han Woo Joo)
(To my daughter, Woo Joo, From your mother)
- Yes? - What were you doing?
I read the kids a book and put them to sleep.
Did you meet the director of the orphanage?
She passed away three years ago.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
But among her belongings...
was a letter my mom wrote to me.
What do you mean?
It means that my mom wrote me a letter...
when I was eight.
And the director had it all this time.
Did you read it?
No.
I didn't.
I'm just so nervous.
I'm scared in case there's something bad written in it.
She didn't give me this letter...
even when I was leaving this place.
That probably means she wrote something really bad, right?
But still, I should read it, right?
Woo Joo, I'll go there right now.
I really didn't want to ask you this.
But please come.
I'm...
so afraid and frightened right now.
- Hey. - When did you come?
Early in the morning.
You slept in your car?
Gosh, my back.
But... I thought you'd come in the morning.
I couldn't get any sleep.
Oh, boy. The weather is wonderful.
Why are you hitting me? Don't hit me.
Move!
- This way. Kick it! - Look!
My ball! Let's go.
- Good, good. Run! - Yes!
- Score! - Yes!
- How about a big hug? - Yes!
Take care of yourselves.
- Okay. - Okay.
- We're going to miss you. - We're going to miss you.
Perfect.
Wait, it's tilted.
What are you talking about?
- I have a question. - Yes?
Is there anything you can't do?
There's nothing I can't do.
- This is delicious. - You're so brazen.
I think of my father whenever I see the sunset.
When I was young, I mostly remember seeing my father...
in the garden with his hands crossed behind his back,
watching the sunset.
I just thought my father loved watching the sunset.
But I found out later...
that my father wasn't watching the sunset.
He was gazing at the western skies.
Why?
My mom went to a country in the west.
Wow, that's so heartbreaking.
And romantic.
Thank you.
(To my daughter, Woo Joo, From your mother)
Before I read this, I have something to say.
Right now,
do whatever you want to your heart's content.
If you want to cry, cry. If you want to be angry, be angry.
I won't cry or be angry.
She wrote this in 1995.
Was that when you were eight?
Yes. When I was eight years old,
I was living with my adoptive parents.
(To my daughter Woo Joo)
"To my daughter Woo Joo."
"Do you know why your name is 'Woo Joo'?"
"When you were born,"
"to me, you were like a universe."
"During the six years I had you, every day was full of happiness."
"Even now, Mom remembers..."
"every single day of those six years."
Woo Joo, you have to go. Let's go.
I'll be angry if you don't go.
Let's go.
Come here, Woo Joo.
Take good care of her, Sister.
Don't worry.
"The day I left you with Sister Lucia,"
"I went to the sea."
"Because I wanted to die there."
"But..."
"I realized it's not that easy to end one's life."
Sister. My Woo Joo...
(St. Mary Hanawon)
I cannot give you any information.
"My only goal was to get you back,"
- Please, I want to see Woo Joo. - "and that's how I endured life."
Please help me.
- "But getting through each day..." - Just once. Please!
- "was just too much for me." - I really have to see her!
Please let me see her just once!
- "Woo Joo, what should I do?" - Sister, I beg you!
"Mom came back too late."
"I rushed over here thinking I could see you again,"
"but you're not here."
"I heard that you're with very nice adoptive parents."
"That's such a relief."
"Woo Joo."
"You were a really good girl."
"You never complained once."
"You were always a comfort to an insufficient mom like me."
"You were like a gift."
"Woo Joo. I'm sorry."
"I should have come back sooner."
"One day,"
"will we be able to meet again?"
- Dr. Lee... - "Mommy will..."
"come and see you again."
"I promise to find you."
Mom...
Mom didn't abandon me.
I thought all along that she'd abandoned me.
But she didn't.
I'll see her again, won't I?
You did just meet your mother.
Yes.
- Are you up? - What time is it?
Did I sleep too long?
No. Shall we go now?
Yes.
Let's go.
(To my daughter, Woo Joo, From your mother)
Is there a way to treat emotional disorders due to anger?
She's been good at taking her medication though.
Why did you say she rushed out?
I think she wanted to tell...
the whole world what a good boy her son was.
From what she told me, he really was a nice person.
She shouldn't keep anything inside.
There's a center called "Together" for families of deceased soldiers.
I told her to check it out.
That's one place she can bare her heart.
I'll look into it.
- You will? - You came all the way here...
to ask for help. I can't ignore it when I have nothing else to do.
Then you can help me for a month.
Oh, is that what's happening?
Should I thank you for letting me see patients?
Hello, commander, it's Lee Si Joon.
Are you well? Sorry for the sudden call.
I'm looking for someone, you see.
He's in the army and I could do with your help.
Where should I put it?
I'll help with this.
Just pile them up. I have to organize them later anyway.
I think this side is done.
I'll get going now.
I came to say goodbye.
I won't visit you again.
Of course, I'd like to visit...
and say hi sometimes,
but I won't come by.
I'm sorry, very sorry for everything.
And I'm grateful too.
You looked after the sick little me,
and raised me.
Thank you so much.
Sure.
The look on your face says this really is the last time.
It is.
It's the last time.
I'm sorry about last time.
I said something I shouldn't have.
I regretted it too.
Not everything was bad while raising you.
Thank you for saying that.
Go on, then.
Mom.
Take care.
I hope you don't get sick.
Live well and in peace.
Please live a good life, Woo Joo.
Woo Joo. Han Woo Joo.
"When you were born,"
"to me, you were like a universe."
"You were like a universe."
Come in.
(Doctor In Dong Hyuk)
What is it?
We're planning a dinner to cheer up Dr. Lee Si Joon.
I'd like you to come.
You don't need me there.
I'd like you to be there.
Dr. Park said he'd come too.
- I'll check my schedule. - I understand.
- Hello. - Hello, there.
How did you find me?
I used to be an army surgeon.
I asked my commander for a favor.
Corporal Kim Dae Young who died in an accident three years ago.
He was under your command, wasn't he?
- He was. - I heard that...
he was your charge since he was a private.
- Is that true? - Yes, it is.
Then could I ask you for a favor?
- I'm excited. - It should be good.
What are we having?
- Hello. - You all look happy.
Are you going out to eat?
Can't you speak? Why won't you answer?
We're going out to eat to cheer up Dr. Lee Si Joon.
"To cheer him up"?
Why does he need cheering up?
It's not exactly to cheer him up.
We all just wanted to eat out together.
It's been a while since we did that.
We should get going, then.
Why don't you come with us?
- Forget it. - Jang Yoo Mi.
How dare you suggest that when he's so busy?
You made it awkward for him!
- I apologize, sir. - I'm so sorry.
Our interns are a little slow.
Goodbye, then.
Wait. Did they leave me out?
Did I say I'd come?
My gosh.
How annoying.
I'm on my way to Gongbap Restaurant.
I have to help Ji Sun and I'm late.
See you later.
(Gongbap Restaurant)
It's been three days and you haven't called.
What are you doing?
You're an addict yourself.
I heard you confessed it to my son.
Do you want to quit practicing medicine?
Do whatever you want.
How dare you ignore me when you're only a mere drug addict?
Darn you...
Who are you?
Let go of me.
