Dr. Jin Su Ji.
(Episode 17)
I'm excited to work with you.
Oh, likewise.
Thanks.
Seriously, thanks a lot.
I'll call you later.
Why did he...
keep thanking you?
Pardon me?
Oh, it's nothing.
Oh, you're wearing a necklace.
You normally don't wear a necklace.
Gosh.
We'll be late.
Let's hurry.
All right. Let's get going.
My gosh. What is going on?
Hyun Sung is the director of Management and Planning?
Yes.
You're ready for your appointments, right?
Yes, I'm ready.
What's this?
What is the small and shiny thing around your neck?
Stop it right there.
What?
What's with the necklace?
I've never seen you wear anything around your neck...
unless it was a sponsored item for a TV broadcast.
No, I sometimes wear necklaces.
Right, sometimes, you wear cheap jewelry,
with cubic zirconia or fake pearls.
But...
Real jewelry that looks like it costs quite a lot...
A heart?
Hey, you.
That guy asked you to date him, didn't he?
What? It's not like that.
As if. I can totally tell.
Hey, is this a diamond?
- What? - What? Gosh, hey.
This is a diamond, isn't it?
- Let me see. - Gosh. Please stop.
Gosh, Ms. Yoon.
We'll begin your appointments in five minutes, Dr. Jin.
(Director of Management and Planning Han Hyun Sung)
Yes.
It's done now.
Director Han, you're here.
It's just you and me. No need to be so formal.
So, how do you like your office?
It's great. I love it. Have a seat.
I'm glad to see that you look much brighter.
You were disappointed by me in many ways until now, weren't you?
You must've felt that I'd changed.
I went against your word every time.
So, you do know.
But what can I do?
You're my son, but you're over 30 and all grown up.
It's not like I can make you do whatever I want.
From now on, I'll do my best not to disappoint you,
both as your son and as a director.
Of course you should.
By the way, later, during the directors' meeting,
we will discuss the founding of...
an academic-industrial collaboration research center.
I have a blueprint in mind,
so you should take charge and plan it out well.
A blueprint?
I've been thinking this through for a long time.
This is a matter of whether or not our hospital...
joins the ranks of high-level general hospitals.
Read it over thoroughly...
and bring your A-game.
Yes, I'll do that.
Gosh, the meeting will start soon.
Shall we go together?
Yes, let's go.
Come on.
In order to make Haedeul Hospital...
the best medical institution in Korea,
I will do my best.
Thank you.
(Inaugural speech, Director Han Hyun Sung)
Yes, that has been...
the inaugural speech of our new Director of Management and Planning.
The next agenda item is...
the academic-industrial collaboration research center...
between Haedeul Hospital and Jihan Group.
- Well... - Then,
we will now hear from Chairwoman Kim Ma RI.
I want to thank...
the many directors who have contributed to the growth...
and substantialization of Haedeul Foundation so far.
I'm sure you all know...
that Haedeul Hospital's greatest project this year is...
the academic-industrial collaboration research center.
As I looked over the current progress,
the background of the project was...
in Haedeul Hospital's medical professionalism...
General Manager Lee,
are you the head of my secretarial staff...
or of the chairwoman's secretarial staff?
Sir?
Let me rephrase the question.
Is the hospital or the foundation in charge of the founding...
of the academic-industrial collaboration research center?
I'm sorry, Director Han.
The foundation's secretarial staff sent down the meeting notes...
in document form.
We had to follow the document, that we couldn't...
Since when has our hospital been under the minute control...
of the foundation?
Since when?
I'll correct it, Director.
Get going now.
How was the meeting?
I'm still inexperienced,
so I do feel a bit pressured...
about whether I'll be able to act as the leader...
in the founding of the research center.
There's no need to feel pressured.
The foundation will give you plenty of support...
so that you can do your best.
Yes. I also have Father's blueprint,
so I'll approach this with a learning mindset.
Father's blueprint?
Yes.
We're still in the first stages of the founding.
I will look over Father's opinion and the foundation's...
as thoroughly as I can.
(Haedeul Foundation)
Are you giving me...
- a yellow card right now? - What?
It sounds like you're giving me a warning...
that I'm leaving your father out...
and leading things on my own.
Oh, it's not like that,
but I do wish you could consider Father's perspective a little more.
No matter what anyone says, Father is the leader of Haedeul Hospital,
and he will have the most knowledge about the running of the hospital.
It's my hope that you can both set aside your old emotions...
when it comes to work related to the hospital.
I get what you mean.
From now on, the foundation will try not to interfere with the hospital.
You should stand firmly in the middle and do a good job.
Yes, I'll do my best, Ms. Kim.
Gosh, stop being such a baby. I'm almost done.
Oh, be gentle. I'm not being a baby, you punk.
Have you ever scraped your face...
on the cold asphalt while drenched in water?
You haven't, right?
If you haven't, you don't get a say in it.
So what will you do?
Do you have a plan, Dad?
I should catch that jerk in any way I can...
and get him to cough up the money.
It's obvious you won't catch him...
even if you stake him out for days on end.
How will you do that?
Do you think the police haven't caught him while fooling around?
Can't you, of all people, just give me some hope?
Do you, of all people, have to speak so pessimistically?
The two of you lately...
You're quite suspicious.
Suspicious? What do you mean?
I know, right? Why should we be suspicious?
You two are quite the pair.
I wish I could just throw you out as a pair too.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
Look at how you're speaking to the head of the household,
who deserves all your respect, and our precious firstborn son.
I'm sorry.
I misspoke because the two men of the Jin family,
who are so precious to you...
and deserving of all the respect, have been behaving so suspiciously.
Gosh, you still have so much to say.
By the way, what is Na Young doing that she won't even leave her room?
Why have you dressed up so much?
Do you have a meeting with the CEO today or something?
No, it's not like that.
If it's not, why are you so dressed up?
Are you perhaps dating someone?
Why? Can't I date someone?
Do you think this is the time for that?
You were just chosen as the MC.
If you're not careful and start dating a man,
there might be scandalous rumors about your dating life.
You can just call them scandals.
Whatever they're called, you worked so hard for this chance.
Before you become a success like Su Ji,
don't even dream of dating anyone.
Please! I'll take care of my own business,
so please stop bothering me!
You.
You don't know what I hate hearing from you the most, do you?
It's what you just said. "I'll take care of my own business."
After everything I did to raise you, changing your diapers and such,
you think you grew up on your own.
You say that you'll take care of your own business every time.
By the way, is there something you need Su Ji's luck for today?
What do you mean by that?
That outfit. You said you didn't wear that because you wanted to.
Didn't you say it was because you needed Su Ji's luck?
Gosh, please! Get out.
Gosh, why? You...
- You're always telling me... - Gosh.
Uncle Woo Chang is rather slow to catch on...
and inexperienced in dating.
I wonder if he made a mistake with you the other day.
Of course not.
I appeared out of the blue.
I'm sure he was more flustered.
I understand.
Thank you so much for thinking that way.
Well...
What's your relationship with A Ra's uncle?
Can I ask you that?
Well... My family is...
a little different from other normal families.
We're not related by blood or marriage.
Like A Ra?
Yes, exactly.
Anyway, I'm really sorry about the other day.
I don't think you owe me an apology.
It's just that...
I think Woo Chang...
likes someone else.
- Pardon me? - You didn't know?
He has feelings for you.
We're family.
I don't know how to explain it for you to understand the situation,
but we're more than family.
(Psychiatrist, Chae U Ri)
Yes, Reporter Jin.
I'm done with my appointments,
but what's up?
What? Now?
Well...
Well, what is this?
It's a gift.
A gift?
Why are you giving me a gift?
I aced the audition and got the job thanks to your advice.
- That's why. - No.
You got the job because you worked hard to prepare for it.
I didn't even do anything.
Open it.
It's rude not to open it in front of the person who gave it to you.
My goodness.
It's a fountain pen.
Yes, you can carry it around in your front pocket.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
Psychiatrists aren't allowed to carry around a fountain pen.
Patients could try to hurt themselves...
or do something unexpected,
so we use... Here.
We use silicone pens like this. Look.
It doesn't hurt at all.
Oh, right.
I see.
Right, I hadn't thought of that.
Then you can use this fountain pen at home.
Well...
I appreciate this,
- but I can't accept it. - Dr. Chae.
I barely did anything, so this is too much.
It makes me uncomfortable.
You know, that sushi we had the other day...
is more than enough.
Yes.
Oh, okay. I'll be right there.
Got it.
I'm sorry. They need me in the ward.
I have to go.
Well, see you.
Wait, Dr. Chae.
I like you.
Pardon?
Well...
Why?
Do I need a reason to like you?
I just like you.
I like you a lot.
Well, I mean... Why...
Why me?
Take some time and think about it.
Why do you think I like you?
Oh, I have to hurry back to the ward.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Prepare yourself.
I never give up so easily.
Sit down, will you? The ceiling won't collapse.
You haven't changed one bit.
You're still buried in books.
You must've been surprised earlier.
Why didn't you tell me?
That you'd work at the same hospital as me?
No reason. I just kept missing the right time to tell you.
Thanks again for accepting the necklace.
I realized it when we were at the gym yesterday.
That you were always there for me...
whenever I was stressed or hurt.
I know it's a little late,
but congratulations on getting the director position.
Thank you.
Oh, shouldn't we celebrate properly?
I'm sorry. I don't think I can go out today.
I'm working on my PhD thesis at the moment.
I have to pull an all-nighter here.
Here? Where will you sleep?
There's the night-duty room, you know.
I'll keep working and doze off for a couple of hours.
The night-duty room? So many people walk in and out of that room.
Hyun Sung, I'm really busy at the moment.
In addition to my thesis, I have to get ready for the conference,
write the column, and prepare for the show as well.
I really don't think I can make time today,
so let's celebrate properly on the weekend.
All right, sounds good. But you have to keep your promise.
Okay, I will.
The necklace suits you.
(Haedeul Hospital, Psychiatry Department)
So, her manager is the director of Management and Planning?
I knew it. Dr. Jin is really something.
Well, she could've just told us that he was her boyfriend.
Why did she say he was her manager?
Seriously, she's a real piece of work.
Thank you for everything today.
Oh, Dr. Chae U Ri.
Are you leaving for the day?
Yes.
I guess all the doctors here are swamped with work.
They can never leave on time.
I don't think everyone's that busy. Anyway, bye.
Wait.
Yes?
If you don't mind,
how about we grab a drink together?
I mean, I'm new here,
so I want to hear what it's like to work here.
Just one drink. How does it sound?
Come on. Let's go.
Gosh, I want to go home.
Drinking at a tent bar like this was what I missed the most...
while studying abroad.
Tent bars do bring back old memories.
Yes. Oh, right.
You must be curious about my relationship with Dr. Jin.
- Sorry? - You thought I was her manager,
but I suddenly showed up as the new director.
You must be really curious.
Oh.
Do I have to be curious?
Dr. Jin and I...
dated when we were undergrads.
Oh, boy. DANI.
Sorry? Come again?
- What? - What do you mean?
Oh, it's nothing.
Goodness.
Well, go on.
It looks like there's something you want to tell me.
Oh, right.
When I was leaving Korea ten years ago to study abroad,
there was some misunderstanding between us.
I see.
But why are you telling me this?
If Dr. Jin finds out, she won't like it.
She's very sensitive like that.
Dr. Jin is sensitive?
Yes, talking about personal stuff.
She really hates it.
I guess you know Su Ji pretty well.
Well, I wouldn't put it that way.
We work together, you know.
We work in the same space for ten hours every day, on average.
You and Su Ji spend ten hours together daily, in the same space?
Gosh.
Here.
Oh, did you see the necklace Dr. Jin was wearing earlier?
Oh, the one with the heart pendant?
That necklace.
I got it for her.
- Director Han. - Yes.
Why is it that you keep telling me such private matters...
that should stay between the two of you?
Right? I wonder too.
For some reason, I keep wanting to tell you all about it.
All about our private matters.
Well, that is enough.
Listening to other people's stories is my specialty,
but I don't need to know about your private life.
I'll be honest with you.
Dr. Jin and I go back a long way...
Oh, no. Where did the time go?
I'll be off, then.
If I miss the last bus,
I'll have to waste money on a cab.
- Wait. - Oh, right.
Thanks for the drinks.
Wait!
Hear me out.
My gosh.
"DANI?"
(DANI)
What?
"Didn't ask,"
"not interested?"
(Didn't ask, not interested.)
My gosh.
Gosh. The more I think about it, the more baffled I get.
Who cares if they dated back in college...
or if they're getting back together?
Why did he have to tell me all that?
Yes?
Can I come in for a moment?
The reason Mom can't accept Uncle Woo Chang?
Yes. She says he should marry someone healthier and younger...
to have kids...
and live like other ordinary men do,
but I can't understand her decision just based on that.
My guess is that it's because of her daughter,
with whom she was estranged years ago.
It happened because of the accident,
but Mom is still deeply hurt by it and feels guilty,
so she can't...
let herself be happy.
Gosh, what do we do?
Poor Mom.
Is there anything we can do?
"Anything we can do?"
What if we look for Mom's daughter?
Auntie says she moved abroad a long time ago.
We could post something on a foreign family search website...
and also register Mom's DNA.
Well... I think...
that might not be the best idea.
- Why not? - Unless Mom says...
she wants to find her herself,
we can't act rashly.
There must be a reason why Mom hasn't searched all this time...
and why she misses her daughter so much...
and yet only keeps her memory in her heart.
We can't step in carelessly.
Is that so?
We should just...
stand by and watch for now and quietly cheer her on.
You get what I mean, don't you?
Yes, I get it.
You are the best, indeed.
(The Courtyard House)
Aren't you dressed too lightly?
It's not the dead of winter.
There.
You might be surprised...
at how cold it can be in early spring.
The air is so cold when you go to the early morning market.
There you go.
- Hello, sir. - Hey.
What's the freshest fish today?
They're all fresh, of course.
They were shipped express from the sea just this morning.
Did you bring your wife today?
Gosh, it's not like that.
This is the chef and CEO of The Courtyard House.
Sun Young, say hello. He's the owner of Namdo Seafood.
- Hello. - Yes, hello.
Thank you for providing such good quality fish over the years.
Gosh, don't even get me started.
He's always so picky when he chooses fish,
saying he'll get scolded if he takes back the wrong thing.
I only did that in the early days, Now, I just take...
whatever you recommend. What are you talking about?
The octopus looks great today.
It's just the right size too.
Gosh, you definitely have a better eye than Woo Chang.
I was just going to recommend the octopus.
- Gosh. - Oh, no!
- Gosh, I'm sorry. Oh, no. - I'm fine.
(Namdo Seafood, Today's prices)
You're in the prime of your life.
Gosh, what are you saying?
Namdo Seafood, where we went earlier,
has been my favorite store for the past ten years.
Every place seems to be about the same,
but that's not true.
That's why I got his business card.
I was worried that I couldn't find the place on my own...
because the marketplace was too complicated.
There's no reason for you to ever go on your own.
Don't you worry about that.
What are you saying?
I followed you today on purpose to take some work off your shoulders.
My gosh.
Goodness. Thank you.
We can just go home and eat breakfast.
We didn't have to come...
Try eating some food that was made by others too.
It's nice and spicy.
It'll suit your taste too.
There.
Oh, after we eat,
I'll show you a great coffee place too.
No, forget about going to a coffee shop.
I should hurry home and cook breakfast for the family.
Goodness. Who said we were going to a coffee shop?
I was going to show you the best vending machine in the market.
- Gosh. - Here we go.
Goodness.
What's up with you two?
Did you go to the early morning market together?
- Gosh. - Well...
The octopus was so fresh.
I'm going to make parboiled octopus and sweet and sour salad.
Gosh, I cleaned the water parsley and chives already.
That's perfect.
Here we go.
Why, those two...
(The Courtyard House)
What's this?
What's gotten into you that you went to the market together?
Oh, I'm going to go to the seafood market myself from now on.
I was introduced to Woo Chang's favorite stores.
Is that so? Then,
what's up with him?
What do you mean?
I'll go inside and make breakfast.
Gosh, that's a nice one.
Gosh, this is...
I'm sure that guy is missing a screw somewhere.
Gosh.
Oh, my.
It's been a while.
Do you want a cup of coffee?
It's fine. As you can see,
I don't have any free hands for coffee.
Bye, then.
You'll have to start doing my makeup every day soon.
You won't feel so great then.
Gosh, what's wrong with her?
She's acting like she has the whole world in her hands.
Gosh.
("Seeking Hidden Restaurants")
Hey.
You were already here.
Have some.
It's a goodbye present.
"A goodbye present?"
I've thought about it,
and I'll just...
focus on my new show.
I can't help it because I need to switch up my image.
You understand, don't you?
Of course, I understand.
But what will you do?
In this lifetime, switching up your image might not be so easy.
- Pardon? - There's someone else...
they had in mind as the MC for the new show.
What are you talking about?
They had someone else in mind?
Dr. Jin Su Ji and I have decided...
to start seeing each other again.
I already know all that.
Gosh, he gets on my nerves for some odd reason.
Dr. Chae U Ri.
It's true, we already have someone else in mind.
You said I was the finalist after the audition.
Who said you were the finalist, Ms. Jin?
Need a calming pill soon?
What is she saying?
Is that... Sun Young?
