Do something.
Where is Han Jae Joon?
Dr. Han! Come quickly!
Dr. Park.
What's all this mess, Master?
Park Hoon
A substitute player, going in.
Isn't that Dr. Park? He's here!
- That's really him! - Where has he been?
Needle holder. Forcep.
Excellent. The patient is alive.
It's not over yet. Stay focused.
Yes, sir.
Why are you back?
Did Dr. Moon take care of it?
No.
Park Hoon is here.
Episode 17
Dr. Yang?
This is Yang Jeong Han.
I hope you haven't forgotten what I said. Park Hoon cannot win this round.
Make him lose at all cost!
Understood, sir.
This heart is one big mess.
The damage is substantial.
Seriously. Every part of this heart is damaged.
This is going to be a very long surgery.
It's fine. I'll stitch it up very fast and pretty.
Let's start with a atrial septal rupture.
I can't see because of that.
I'm sorry. I was trying to help.
Please continue.
You can step aside.
My patience has run out.
Master. Be the first member.
Why me?
Change now!
Cut.
Pump, off.
Anesthesiologist! What are you doing?
The vital signs are too instable!
Stay focused.
You need an anesthesiologist who specializes in heart surgeries.
I'll do it.
You should seriously consider becoming my adopted son.
My mom won't be pleased.
- Would you finish up? - Sure.
Dr. Park.
How can you be smiling?
I'm already here. Might as well smile.
Hoon...
Enough of that.
Why did you come? I told you not to!
I promised that I won't let you go into any surgery alone.
Do you have any idea what the surgery means?
Yes, I know it is dangerous. That's why we must do it together.
It's still not too late. Go home.
I'm not going anywhere without you.
Go! Please.
Don't be like that if you really care about me.
I hated you when you let go of my hand at that bridge in Budapest.
The time that I spent without you was so miserable.
I hated myself for not jumping into the river with you.
So don't be like that again.
I'll win the last round at all cost. So let's do it together.
We'll form the surgery team according to your original plan...
And we'll go into the operating room together.
I'll win so you can meet the president.
And Han Jae Joon is a good doctor.
I can't ruin him by getting him involved in a conspiracy.
You should worry about yourself first.
I guess I have a lot to worry about too.
So would you help me to not worry about one of them at least?
Which one?
My mom.
I beg of you.
Yes.
Park Hoon went back.
But he's still out of our plan.
Dr. Han and I will do the surgery.
Should I put this in the washing machine?
Hoon!
How's mom?
Whose mom?
Mom...
Welcome back, Hoon.
Where did you go? I was looking for you.
I'm sorry, Hoon. I'm very sorry.
Not at all. It's my fault.
Who are you?
It's me. Hoon.
My Hoon is only eight years old.
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
I only thought that you abandoned me. So I was always resentful.
I had no idea you had become like this.
I'm sorry, mom.
Should I keep taking care of her?
Please do so.
I'm scared. Not of your mother...
But if Jae Hee wants to hide her here, that means someone is looking for her.
That's why we're asking you. The person we trust the most in this world.
Stop with your nonsense.
Maybe the second most then?
Are you in the mood to joke about this?
Quite so, yes.
Please take care of her. Goodbye.
I'm surprised that you came to visit in person.
I thought you said Park Hoon won't be available for a while.
Yes, I did.
Fine. What is it then?
It's your surgery. You can get it from whomever you want.
Why do you keep going back and forth?
We're considering removing ourselves from this surgery entirely.
The heart that will be operated on
doesn't belong to me.
It belongs to my boss. Not me.
Are you saying...
Yes, it belongs to the President.
Then why have you been...
The President's health is a matter of national security.
His approval rating is very low right now. His ailing health will make it even worse.
Then once the surgery is done
you'll receive all the promised grants. Along with the title of the President's hospital.
I thought it was all over!
It was probably because you haven't done it in a while.
Why did Park Hoon tell you to step aside?
I guess he figured that you'll be a lot better than me.
You also left the room entirely the other day.
The same day when Park Hoon got his hand injured.
So what happens to this competition now?
The competition!
It's a tie, right?
Of course!
The Chairman isn't back yet. I'll call you when he's back.
Dr. Han!
We've tied, right?
Right or wrong?
The Chairman will decide.
Your facial expression screams that we tied!
Sir.
This is mitral valve stenosis. I also see light calcification of the valve.
Yes. That'll be the patient for the final round.
Isn't it too simple? All we need to do is insert an artificial valve.
What? Yours is even easier!
We'll decide the winner by who finishes first, like the one with the twins.
We'll also consider recovery.
This is not fair, Mr. Chairman!
Our patient is a male in his 40s, but his patient is a female in her 20s.
The difficulty of our patient is higher because of the calcification!
If you don't want it, say it now.
Of course I don't want it!
Then we can finish the competition and declare Dr. Han as the winner.
Mr. Chairman...
The Prime Minister wants us to hurry. We can't be hung up on this competition forever.
- But... - But what?
Speak.
Let's do it.
What? Hey!
Should I not?
Hey!
This competition was never in our favor anyway.
But he's being so obviously partial with this one!
I'll win. So don't worry.
Really?
Yes. But I need to rearrange the team first.
Tell me now. What happened?
I told you before that I won't let it slide if you behave suspiciously again in an operating room.
How did I behave suspiciously?
Are you going to keep lying?
Fine. Please don't come into my surgeries from now on.
Dr. Park.
It wasn't just about the money.
I hate your arrogance.
Jeong Han...
The amount of effort that's necessary for common people like me to survive in this world
you have no idea.
Those checks you threw at me as the patient's surgery fees...
Dr. Moon gave them to you, didn't he?
That money is something that you can get anytime you want.
But I have to work three, four months to get that money.
Or do something despicable.
Jeong Han...
I've done many despicable things too.
I know how they'll come back at you and make you regret your decisions.
That's why I want you to leave my team.
And you're not a common person.
People are willing to leave their lives up to you only because you're wearing that white coat.
We shouldn't disappoint those people anymore. Dr. Yang.
Dr. Park is right, Jeong Han.
You'll lose everything if you stay here.
Just do the surgery.
Would the Prime Minister accept the result?
Don't worry about that.
Yes, sir.
Once you get picked as the Prime Minister's surgeon...
I want you to take over some of my responsibilities.
I'm telling you now because you'll win the competition no matter what.
How can I...
Sang Jin will also help you. Don't worry.
Just you wait!
I'll get my revenge on you at all cost! I will!
[Legal Complaint]
I'm almost there. Almost.
Do you have some time?
What is it?
Too bad it ended in a tie.
Are you here just to tell me that?
Not really. Let's get to the point.
I want you to forfeit.
When I told you to forfeit, I did it with money at least.
Your career depends on it. I thought you might cherish that more than money.
You keep saying incomprehensible things.
Please understand that I'm not at liberty to speak freely.
My answer is no. Enough?
When I tell you to forfeit, I'm really doing it for you.
Please trust me.
If you care about me that much, you should forfeit.
Can't you just say yes to my request?
There's a lot of sketchy business involved in the prime minister's surgery.
As sketchy as your father?
What does that have to do with anything?
Let's just call it a chain reaction.
Please leave if you're done.
It sounds like you're interested in my father. How did you find out?
Find out what?
How he went to North Korea. I have never told you that.
I have a friend named Lee Seong Hoon, whom I met at Harvard.
How do you have this?
My friend asked me to find out what happened to Park Cheol.
That bastard who abandoned my friend's family because he chased after the fame of treating the North Korean leader
my friend would like payback when he finds Park Cheol.
I'm afraid your friend is mistaken.
Mistaken?
My father didn't go to North Korea for fame.
To stop a war. No...
He went because he was tricked by Oh Joon Gyu and Jang Seok Joo.
Liar!
Do you think my friend will believe your faulty excuse?
I'd like to talk to him because I want him to believe me.
Dr. Choi even went to America just to find that guy.
I haven't talked to him in a while either.
Hey, quack.
Where are you running away to?
Why I would be running away?
Then why are you walking so fast?
When did I walk so fast?
I ran out of breath just to catch up to you!
What is it?
Do you have anything to tell me?
No.
Then I'll tell you something.
First, I'm very sorry.
Second, you don't need to worry about your father's acts.
It's not like you did them.
Third.
Do you still massage your scalp these days?
I just want us to be friendly from now on.
Don't do that. I just want us to be friendly from now on.
- Why not? - What do you want from me?
- Do you really think that's possible? - Of course!
- Stop it! - We can be friendly!
Don't be so difficult! Let's be friends!
I can pretend as if there's no trouble between us, so the Chairman doesn't get angry.
But no Park Hoon.
I know.
And that's why you behaved like just now?
It was just his attempt to be friendly.
He only has Jae Hee.
I'm also clearing my feelings for him, so you don't have to worry about me so much.
I was so befuddled that day. And I wasn't sure if I could take it.
And frankly, I was embarrassed.
I'm sorry for hiding it from you.
Then tell me, Dr. Han. No, Jae Hee...
Are you from North Korea?
Is there an ulterior motive for you to operate on the Prime Minister with Dr. Park?
Dr. Oh...
If that's the case, I won't let that happen. Even if it's you.
Don't do anything that will put Dr. Park in danger.
I did meet Hoon in North Korea.
But to be precise, I'm a Korean-Japanese.
After separating from Hoon, I was sent to Japan.
I was treated in a hospital in Japan, and finished my medical school there too.
Then why did you act like you didn't know him when you saw him?
Frankly, I didn't have the courage to meet him.
How could you think that? You're Dr. Park's only love.
You saw my kidney scan, right?
Yes.
That kidney is my father's.
And Hoon's the one who performed the transplant.
He did it to save me, but he also killed my father.
So I wasn't sure if I could love him like before after reuniting with him again.
But Dr. Park still loves you dearly...
That's what I had hoped for.
But sometimes I feel like his feelings toward me are based on guilt and duty.
Especially when I see him with you.
No, I...
I'm going back to Japan soon.
To Japan?
Hoon... No, Dr. Park...
He likes you.
He likes you purely, without any sense of guilt and duty.
That's nonsense.
If Hoon didn't cause my father to die
and if Hoon hadn't been involved with your father in the past
he'd choose you over me.
That's not true. You're the only one to him.
Just wait a bit after I return to Japan.
When you wait next to him, you'll come to realize his feelings.
You used to work at a restaurant, right?
Yes. But why?
Great. That's all I need.
I thought you used to work at a restaurant.
I only saw how they made food. I was in charge of delivery.
Help yourself anyway, mom.
I told you. She only eats porridge.
Do you think this looks appetizing, stupid?
I really tried hard to make these. Are you really going to be like that?
What should I do...
- Eat. - Eat?
Thank you.
Do we still not have the blood test result for Ms. Kim?
We do. I raised a ruckus to get it.
Nice work.
Hi, everyone! Hi, quack!
Just wait a bit after I return to Japan.
When you wait next to him, you'll come to realize his feelings.
Did you guys fight again?
At least you can say hello back, Dr. Oh.
Stop calling me a quack. My patients actually think I'm a quack.
I'm sorry, quack. Oops...
It's become a habit. So, quack...
Oh, no...
Forget it. I'll be the bigger person here.
That something... We need to do something...
I don't feel comfortable to be so informal like before.
Please be mindful.
I just want to be friendly.
That won't happen overnight.
That girl...
You like that girl, don't you?
So what's going on between you?
Who are you?
Me? I'm the fiery stick of Eungam-dong!
What? What's on fire?
Oh my.
Just an innocent patient who wants to move on from her past.
Everyone has a past that they want to hide, you know.
You shouldn't be out here. You should go back to your room.
Good luck, beanstalk!
Who's that weirdo? Who...
Why did you tell mom that story?
Because it was necessary!
What's wrong with the girl that delivers water?
It's not about her. It's about you being a player!
You used to be a player too!
But I'm done with that life now. Don't you know that I'm getting married next month?
Does your fiance know how many men got their head cracked by your heel?
You have a criminal history!
This boy is restarting a fire on this stick...
This boy? Is that how you talk to your older brother?
Then you should behave like one!
- Come here! - You're in a hospital!
This is a hospital!
Live righteously. Okay?
What are you doing with a patient?
She is a patient, but...
Hello. I'm this punk doctor's sister.
You're one good-looking man!
- That's nasty! - You little...
A mitral valvue surgery?
Yes. You have mitral valve stenosis...
Mitral Stenosis.
Yes.
If untreated, it'll cause left artery aneurysm and atrial fibrillation.
So that means my left heart chamber will cause abnormal heartbeats.
How do you know that? Are you preparing for medical school?
Everyone except you knows it.
Your shortness of breath and dizziness are because the left heart chamber doesn't get enough blood.
It's now experiencing a left ventricular failture.
That's enough. Is there any other way to treat it than sugery?
No medication?
You must get a surgery.
- Please explain it to her in detail. - Sure.
What was that? Are you really preparing for medical school?
Just visit 10 different hospitals. You'll come to memorize it.
Why have you visited 10 hospitals?
Because I don't want the surgery!
Long story short, your heart has four chambers that blood flows through.
There's a wall between the left and right chambers.
And there's a door between the top and bottom chambers.
So the wall is septum, and the door is mitral valve, right?
You're quite knowledgeable.
I did my homework to know more about my disease.
Then it's easier for me to explain.
For your heart, one of the doors is broken.
When that happens, your upper left chamber expands because the blood cannot flow correctly...
Which puts a lot of pressure on your heart.
It gets dangerous because the heart will start beating abnormally.
The surgery is about replacing that door.
It's not a difficult procedure, so you don't have to worry.
Okay.
Get some rest.
Hey, beanstalk.
Hey, stick!
Why are you bringing up my past?
You're good at explaining it. It's easy to understand.
Nothing special.
Can I ask you a question?
What is it?
So you're saying that there's no treatment other than surgery?
Yes. It's something that must be operated on.
Happy?
Do you know Han Jae Joon? I heard he's the Chief who went to Harvard.
Why?
Is he trustworthy?
He's good at what he does.
Final question.
Is there really no other treatment?
None.
Really...
Why? Are you scared of the surgery?
That's a part of it, but I'm getting married next month.
I have met my soulmate.
You may laugh at me for saying this, but even our heartbeats are the same.
You want to see? Look.
Quite pretty.
All these photos look pretty similar, and similarily pretty.
Do you know how long it took me to pick the prettiest ones?
No idea.
I really want to be happy with him.
Live with him happily ever after, with kids and everything.
I heard I can't get pregnant once I get the surgery!
That's not always the case. But it does get a lot more difficult.
He says he doesn't need kids as long as we're happy together.
But I really want kids! I already bought baby clothes!
These are for our junior.
So do you think I'm dying to get the surgery?
Of course not. But you must get it.
That door...
Let me see.
What door?
That door of the upper left chamber.
The one that has to be fixed.
Why?
I'm so angry, I want to curse at it!
Name?
Kim Ah Young. Pretty name, right?
Kim Ah Young...
Where is that damned door?
Here.
Hey, because of you, my dream got shattered!
So I'll shatter you into pieces too!
Thanks. I feel better now.
Wait.
Have you seen it?
See what?
Her aortic valve and vascular muscle.
I saw that she has Marfan syndrome. So?
So? You can wait and operate on the whole thing.
You don't have to operate right now.
Her mitral valve has narrowed so much. It requires surgery.
Can't you see?
It isn't fatal yet as long as she doesn't do any extreme exercise.
And she's getting married soon.
She'll need wafarin to undergo surgery, but that can ruin her chance of getting pregnant.
So?
I'm saying you can delay...
Are you trying to make me forfeit?
Once she's pregnant, her aortic aneurysm will only speed up.
If that turns into an aortic dissection which will cause veins to explode...
She'll die.
It's not that bad yet.
So you want to leave her life to luck?
You know the surgery can wait!
She can get married and have kids.
If she's strong, she can last more than 10 years.
The patient's life can be completely different!
It doesn't matter what happens later, as long as she becomes healthy after surgery.
We must think about the patient's life after surgery if possible.
You can do that. I'm operating on this patient.
Is it because of the competition? Then we'll call this a tie.
There's no tie! This is the last round!
If you really want to be that good, we can switch patients.
What?
We can switch patients.
You don't want to, do you? Because you'll lose if there's no surgery.
Let me know if your mind changes. I'll gladly change patients.
Is it true?
I heard everything. Is it true what you said?
Why?
Well... Kim Ah Young is my sister.
Is it true?
At least according to my judgment, it's true.
So, you don't want to operate?
That's not it.
I just want to hear your opinion.
The surgery is a must.
The valve has gotten very narrow. It'll significantly affect her daily life.
Of course.
That girl apparently went to every hospital she could because she wanted to avoid surgery.
She's afraid that it might affect her marriage next month.
And she's afraid that she might not get pregnant because of the surgery.
Even the most tomboyish girls are women after all, I guess.
You may leave if you're done.
But the Water Bottle says the surgery won't be necessary...
Are you really a punk?
Pardon?
What are the symptoms of mitral stenosis?
What are they?
So...
Shortness of breath, and...
Abnormal heartbeat, shortness of breath...
chest pain, hemoptysis, possible stroke.
You never said it's that serious.
Then when will it get serious?
Pardon?
Will it get worse after warnings?
The surgery is necessary because we never know when it'll get worse.
Are you perhaps doing this because of the competition?
She got the same diagnosis from other hospitals.
My diagnosis is the same. Her mitral stenosis must be fixed.
I got it. Thank you.
Pregnancy is not impossible even after the surgery.
Your sister will be able to live her desired life.
That's the judgment that I made as her surgeon.
You should think carefully whether to trust my judgment or the Water Bottle's.
I heard she has Marfan's syndrome.
Who told you?
Who else? Kim Chee Gyu told me.
He's been going around asking everyone.
This is an opportunity from God. You know that, right?
What is?
You should just tell his sister that it's okay to get the surgery later!
Then discharge, competition over. Victory for us!
She's Dr. Han's patient. So you should keep quiet.
I already told her.
She's here.
Hey, beanstalk.
Is it really okay for me to not get the surgery?
Tell me.
Tell me, or I'll put a hole through your skull!
In my opinion, yes.
You can wait until aortic aneurysm appears then get the surgery together.
Shut up, Water Bottle!
You heard him too. I don't need the surgery.
I can be discharged.
I said you have to get it!
The beanstalk says it's not necessary!
Just based on his own words?
He's your colleague.
How can you trust this punk? Do you know where he went for medical school?
He went school in Pyongyang!
So what? He's still a doctor.
Even the Chief who went to Harvard says you need to get the surgery.
And you went to other hospitals too!
And they all told you that you need to get the surgery!
So I should get the surgery?
I did my homework too!
Once I get the surgery, it'll be nearly impossible to conceive.
Even if I get pregnant, I might be forced to give my baby up!
Dr. Han says it's not impossible. You can conceive if you try.
Why do I have to try for something that everyone else just does?
I just want to live as other people.
If I listen to that beanstalk and get the surgery later, I can do that.
So tell me. I'll do what you tell me to.
I'll do as you say.
Should I get the surgery?
Should I not?
Tell me, older brother! What should I do?
Get it.
Get the surgery.
Anything you want me to keep for you?
Please answer the phone if it rings. I told him to cancel the ceremony.
Okay.
Let's go.
What if they tie again?
The hospital will decide.
Decide whom?
That'd be up to their chairman.
Thanks for doing this surgery.
Is something the matter?
I'm going into Dr. Han's surgery.
What are you talking about?
You really don't know?
Just think about what you did to me.
What I did to you? You need to explain.
Let's talk after the surgery.
What are you doing? We must get ready.
Why is Dr. Han going in there?
She did that the last time too! Don't worry about her and focus on the surgery!
I'll get her back at all cost once we win the competition.
Quickly.
You can wait outside.
May I?
Sure.
Jae Joon.
Please take care of her.
Of course.
Tell them we're ready.
It all should've been over after the twins surgery!
Just think about what you did to me.
The ceremony is canceled, Ah Young.
They're ready.
- Please take care of the vital signs. - Yes.
Please stay focused, Master.
I'm a bit nervous for our last round!
Hey, Water Bottle...
I told Ah Young's fiance to not cancel the ceremony.
Dr. Han told you that he'll switch patients if you want.
What are you doing, Kim Chee Gyu?
Please let my Ah Young to live as others do.
Hey, Water Bottle!
Get out of here!
Please help me be her older brother this once.
What are you doing? Get him out of here!
Just a moment. Hey, Water Bottle!
Park Hoon, if you listen to him, it's game over.
We'll lose!
Scalpel.
Grab your scalpel!
Don't ever forget the fact that you're a doctor.
I'll win the last round at all cost. So let's do it together.
We'll form the surgery team according to your original plan...
And we'll go into the operating room together.
What's happening?
What are you doing?
Damn...
- What's happening? - What is he doing?
What is it?
What do you think it is?
