[EMERGENCY ROOM]

Are you awake now?
You have a fracture on your right ankle so I put a splint on it.
You'll be healed in about 2~3 months.
The problem is your wrist.
Your fracture on the right palm is serious.
I did an operation and put a pin in,
but you won't get more than 70% of it's full function.
Is the angulation severe?
Are you in this field?
I'm a 4th year emergency medicine resident.
It will depend on the rehabilitation, but in worst case scenario, you won't get it back.
- It's 3000 Won. - Thank you.
Yes... thank you!
Two servings of dumplings, please.
Why don't you eat at home?
I came because I wanted to eat dumplings.
Doesn't that hospital give you any food? What's wrong with your face?
I'm eating well. I work in the ER so don't have much of an appetite.
So why did you become a doctor?
It's not like your dead Father will come back to life. And of all the hospitals...
It has to be the hospital where your dad died.
You're my son, but you're really not that great. Not at all.
Just live your own life.
Meet up with friends and get a girlfriend.
[OCTOBER 2016]
This are the doctors who have become our surgical team,
Doctors Kang Dong Joo and Do In Bum.
Especially Doctor Kang Dong Ju is a prospect who
scored top in the nation for certification exam.
We have high expectations for the both of you.
Thank you very much. I will work hard.
I will work hard.
Let's work well together.
- I will work hard. - Good, let's work together.
I will work hard. I will work hard.
I will work hard.
- This is my son. - Oh!!
You are the one who should be asking him a favor.
It's his skills.
Take care of it yourselves. - Yes, sir!
[ERA OF DISCRIMINATION]
This is my son, the doctor I was telling you about.
Let's talk while go.
It's an era where connections and background are more important than skill.
Even at a hospital where challenge of life and virtue of conquest should be present
status system existed.
From what I can see, there's only two ways that you can change this situation.
You'll either have to reborn as the son of the hospital director, or get a VIP patient.
There's no way they'd give me a VIP patient.
You're right. They won't give it to you. That's why this vicious circle won't end.
I'll be out now. I have an operation in 30 minutes.
Again?! Aren't they working you too hard?
Doctor Kang Dong Joo, call from the director. Go see him.
Do Yoon Hwan
I got you a VIP ER surgery.
He is Congressman Ko Mak Sik who was the former chairman of the congress.
I'm sorry but my operation schedule for today is all set.
Oh, this person! So frustrating! You should take care of that yourself!
Are you acting like this because you don't know
what it means for you to be entrusted with a VIP?
His case must be really shitty.
They probably needed someone to push the blame on someone in case the surgery failed,
and I was the easiest one among the others. Isn't that it?
Look here, Dr. Kang Dong Joon!
I'll operate on my patient as was already planned.
Because the patient has sepsis, their condition
could become critical if I postpone the surgery.
Then...
Why did you become a doctor?
Son of a dumpling place,
studied like crazy and got in this position means that you want to succeed.
Then you should grab this opportunity.
That guy who barged in ER and bashed everything that time
was you, wasn't it?
That's right. As you said, it's a difficult case.
HCC Rupture. Even if you do well, the chances of success are less than 30%.
But if you're going to grab an opportunity, you
should be satisfied with even a case like that.
Is it possible that you didn't have that much courage to confront me
and yet are standing here, right?
Hm?
If you want real revenge, become a better human than they.
What do you mean, postpone the surgery?
Is there something wrong with my father?
No matter what, you have to prove yourself through your skill.
We'll observe him for a few more days, and then reschedule his surgery.
I'm sorry.
Doctor! My father's okay, right?
Yes. He will be.
No matter what, I'm going to prove that I'm better than them.
Dr. Oh, I'll open his stomach now.
His blood pressure will drop as soon as I do. Scalpel.
Bovie (CAUTERY).
Scalpel.
Suction!
Retractor.
Won't you suction properly?!
The pads! Fast!
Press down here. We're doing the left hemi-hepatectomy now.
Keep your head on straight.
Dr. Oh, is the patient okay?
His pulse is getting faster, but he's still okay.
Suction! Suction!
I can't see where the blood is coming from.
- Scalpel! - Doctor, the vitals are not right.
His oxygen levels are dropping from 20-30%.
Suction.
Cut.
Bovie.
Perform it properly, I can't see it!
DIC (DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION) is happening.
Every time he touches there's bleeding.
Chance of success is 30%? Bullshit.
After opening, it has less that 5% chance of success.
I tried my best but the result was a failure.
Bring the defibrillator, quickly!
200 joules!
It's ready.
Move!
200 joules, again!
Move! Shock!
Doctor.
Time of death 17:25. Died of excessive bleeding during operation.
Former Chairman of Congress died yesterday.
Go down to the countryside for right now.
Political and financial figures are in queue to offer condolences.
Reporting first, Reporter Kim Ju Young.
Notice of Transfer Specialist Kim Dong Ju to General
Surgery of Doldam Hospital in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do.
Doldam Hospital... Where is this?
It's a small hospital in Jeongseon. I'll call you
back here after seeing how the atmosphere is.
Don't think too much and be on probation for a
bit. Think of it as time to cool your head.
Huh?
So to sum it up, I've become shit.
APPOINTED DEPARTMENT: Gangwon Province, Jeongseon Doldam Hospital, General Surgeon
What is this?
Dongdam Hospital
Mother
What are you looking at?
I thought it was a patient, but they just left.
Did they take the wrong road?
Dong Joo. Did you make it to Jeongseon alright?

You're probably busy trying to get adjusted to an unfamiliar place,
but give me at least one call after you've got everything taken care of.
I'm curious.
Don't forget to eat all meals without skipping any and eat tree times per day. Huh?
[TRANSFER OF DEPARTMENTS]
[RESIGNATION]
Excuse me! Could I have some more chicken, please?
[RESIGNATION LETTER]
I, Kang Dong Ju,
would like to...
resign as of today.
Excuse me! Get a hold of yourself! Look here!
- Call 911! Hurry! - 911!
- Are you an employee here? - Yes.
- Do you have automated external defibrillator? - We do. I'll go get it.
- Here! - Do you know how to use it?- No.
I had the training, but I don't really remember.
Keep applying pressure to this area. Strongly, with both of your hands.
What are you doing? Do you not see me giving emergency treatment to this man?!
This man must be insane. Won't you hurry and move
your foot? Someone is dying, so what are you doing?!
Then, to put it in your words, are you trying to kill this man?
- Hey! - Yes?
Stop doing useless things and stand him up, right now.
- Don't stop. Keep going! - Stop and stand him up! Did you not hear me?!
i am a doctor from Geodae Hospital. Don't stop. The moment you do, he dies!
If you want to act like a doctor then don't drink. If you drank then stay out of it.
That's why you get demoted to a rural hospital.
Hey! Get your hands off of him and stand him up,
right now if you don't want to move a corpse.
- This person, seriously! - Ah, this is seriously annoying to death.
Move out of the way.
If this person dies, will you take responsibility for it?
If I save him, then what'll you do?
You'll never be able to do that. I'll put my neck on the line.
Okay. Deal.
- Move out of the way. I said move! - Yes, sir.
- Grab him. - Yes, sir.
- Lift him up. - Yes, sir.
- Stand him up straight. - Yes, sir.
The xiphoid process.
If you gently apply upward pressure on the area right below it, then all at once...
Ah, this person, seriously. When you eat,
- make sure you chew it thoroughly! - Thank you!
He left.
- What are you doing? - What are you two doing in the kitchen?
Let me borrow some tools. Guys!
Hold onto this.
Won't you let me go?
Tools for what?
He bet his neck and he lost.
Excuse me. I think you're overdoing it with your joke right now.
Who's joking? You should hold out that hand.
I guess a wrist (SONMOK IN KOREAN) is a neck (MOK IN KOREAN) in a way.
Geez, a knife should be sharp. What is this?
Because I'm usually the kind to cut using my strength.
That's why the blade gets dull so easily.
If the blade is dull I can't make a clean cut.
Do it well so blood won't get everywhere.
Those kids shitted themselves working to clean that up from last time.
Blood?
It's gotten a bit better now.
Are you seriously... You're seriously going to cut my wrist off? Seriously?
If a man said something, then he should keep his word.
That's the dignity of a man's word.
You've got no objections, right?
Wh-who the heck are you?
Are you a gangster?!
I'm more of a knife wielder.
Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry.
It'll hurt a little, but it'll be all over in a second.
I'll get all the tendons and the bones.
In one swipe, I'll just-
What are you doing? Go see him out.
Can you call the security?
What?
I'm asking you to call the police!
He's here.
Aish! Where is it?
Aish, seriously!
Taxi! Taxi, taxi! Taxi!
Oh!
Go, go! Go!
Where do you want to go, Customer?
Customer? Where are we going?
Doldam Hospital
Um... Excuse me.
Today's treatment has ended.
I didn't come to get treated.
Are you here for a discharge procedure?
Then please go to the second window.
I'm Kang Do Joon. I'm a doctor, a surgeon from Geodae Hospital.
I came down because I was assigned here to Doldam Hospital from today onward.
If you've got your letter of appointment, then could you show it to me?
Ah, that's...
Some things happened today,
so I lost it. But if you contact the headquarters-
It's 12 o'clock right now. It's a time where there's
no one here because they've all gotten off work.
If I'm going to confirm it, then you'll have to wait here.
Excuse me. Then,
I came down in a rush, so I haven't been able to find a place to live.
Would you be able to help me?
I'm sorry but the benefits are only provided to our employees.
I can't help someone who hasn't been identified.

What is this?
Where is this place?
Don't worry. The surgery went very well.
Surgery?
I will take care of your right hand.
Yah!!!
I got in touch with the hospital a little while ago.
- Yes? - Follow me, Dr. Kang Dong Joon.
This is the head director of Doldam Hospital.
Nice to meet you. I'm Yeo Woon Young.
I'm Kang Dong Joon. I'm a GS (GENERAL SURGEON).
If they were going to send someone, they should
have transferred someone from internal medicine.
Sorry?
Nothing. It's not that I have any complaints about you, Dr. Kang.
We already have a competent chief surgeon in the surgery department.
And we have residents, so it's like this.
Even though it looks like this, our hospital is a conglomerate hospital
that has everything there is to the Internal medicine, general surgery,
family medicine, and even an emergency room.
We've got so many patients that you'd be shocked if you saw them.
Painter of light, Rembrandt, who left few pieces of self portrait,
his young self who looked exactly like his son...
Anyway, we welcome you to Doldam Hospital.
- I'm the Chief Administrator, Jang Gi Tae. - Forget that.
You don't really have to worry about me.
I don't have any intentions of being here for long.
If it's for a short while, then about a month.
If it's for a long while, then about two months.
If I can't go back to the main hospital by then,
I'm thinking of looking into another big hospital in Seoul.
I thought that it would be better to tell you this in advance.
Oh, I see. I understand what you're saying very well.
Does he not like our hospital?
He won't be able to make it a week. I bet you $50.
He had a good first impression, so I really liked him.
Three days! He won't make it past three days!
I'll bet you $100!
Good morning.
If not, then never mind.
Dr. Yoon doesn't have many days left, does she?
Stop worrying about other people's business.
So, what about that handsome doctor?
Where is he?
He said that he wanted to change clothes,
I've took him to the break room for now.
Clothes?
Omg!
Aigo.
Sunbae.
Chapter 2 End of Adrenaline Hypersecretion
You...
Why are you here?
How did you end up here?
That's what I want to ask you.
Sunbae, how did you...?
How long have you been here?
I asked you first! How did you get here?
I've been assigned here since yesterday.
- Assigned? - Yes.
I'll be working here for a short while. Things just turned out that way.
How long? Until when are you going to be here?
It's your turn to answer, Sunbae.
How long have you been here?
I asked how long you're going to be here?!
Was it possibly ever since that time?
Ever since that time five years ago,
have you been here the entire time?
Forget it. If you don't want to answer, then leave it.
Why didn't you call me even once?!
For over a month after you disappeared,
I sent you messages and left you voicemails every single day.
Did you look at and listen to all of them?
No.
Doldam Hospital
Dr. Park, we've got a patient. Get ready!
Okay.
Give it.
We'll move him to the ER.
Nurse, unbuckle his seat belt.
Patient! Do you hear me? Patient!
Patient!
Hey! This is my car!
Alright. Move him!
It seems like he's still conscious.
- His vitals? - BP of 70/40 with a pulse of 140.
The lung sound on his left side is dropping.
- Doctor.. - It's tension pneumothorax.
Apply ten liters of oxygen with the use of a
mask, and let's make him hydrate through an IV.
Also, get a dressing set and a 24 guage needle...
If he crashed his car, there might be some hemorrhaging.
Give me a 16 guage.
Okay.
What's happening with that hand? It's injured?
Please get a chest tube read and hang it.
Yes, ma'am.
- His vitals? - BP of 80/40 with a pulse of 120.
Not a clear observation since he's now receiving the fluids.
What are you doing? The patient has abdominal damage!
Why are you suddenly talking formally? It doesn't suit you.
Then should the resident speak informally to the specialist?
If so, then drop the formalities.
Speak so I can understand what you're saying.
Someone who spent four years in the ER calling someone whose
been working over five years a resident. What are you saying?
I am currently in Cadiovascular Surgery.
Would you please concentrate on the patient's condition right now, Dr. Kang Dong Joon?
He already has severe muscle guarding.
At this rate it means he has severe internal hemorrhaging.
It would be better to move him to a bigger hospital after putting in the chest tube.
There's a limit to what we can do in this tiny hospital anyway.
Ultrasound machine? We have one in this hospital too.
Even though it looks like this, our hospital has everything there is to have.
As expected, there's a lot of hemorrhaging in the spleen, right?
There's more hemorrhaging than I thought.
What should we do?
What do you think? You should stop procrastinating and send him to a big hospital.
How long does it take to get to the closest big hospital from here?
The closest place is two hours away by car.
No matter how fast you go, it takes an hour and a half.
There is also a high possibility of death due to excessive
bleeding before we even arrive at the big hospital.
Just treat him here.
This isn't an injury that can be treated in a
secondary hospital. Can't you tell just by looking?
It's not that you don't have the confidence to do it?
It's murder for a doctor to just open up a patient without the consent.
It's not that I can't do it, it's that I won't do it!
Hey, hey! It's so noisy!
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by The Romantic Doctors ♡ @ Viki
Vitals?
A BP of 60/40, with a rate of 120.
Because he fasted, he now appears to have a hemorrhaging spleen.
We do not know his identity. Neither do we know the reason for his injuries.
He drove himself here and crashed into a car in the parking lot.
The car is in a total state of disrepair.
What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to keep doing what you were doing?
Ah, yes.
First, let's get intubation and the ventilator ready,
and get ready to do ligation.
No way... Are you saying that you're going to
do surgery for a spleen hemorrhoid right now?
20 milligrams.
He's fast.
Keep going with the propofol continuous infusion and give 1 ampule of rocuronium.
Yes, sir!
Oh and put the ventilator on CMV mode.
Please give me the tube.
Hey, hey. Don't drag it out. Do it with the trocar
(SURGICAL INSTRUMENT FOR WITHDRAWING FLUID).
Give me the trocar.
Trocar? They have something like that here?
How many cubic centimeters of blood has come out?
Right now 400 cubic centimeters have come out, and it's still coming.
Okay. It's my turn now.
Hey. Hey!
Move. If you're not going to do it, then move.
You're saying that you're going to cut into the patient's stomach right here?
Even when the surgery room is not a hybrid room?
- If he gets contaminated from this, then... Hey.
Hey, Nurse Park. Hurry up and get rid of this thing.
Wh-what... What do you mean, get rid of?
Why, this-
Let go of me! Let go!
- Knife. - Won't you stop right now?
Excuse me! Have you all gone insane?!
There's going to be a lot of blood. Prepare yourselves.
Are you really a doctor?!
Suction.
Alright, suction.
Like that.
I found it.
- He already found it? - Alright, the hemostat.
All right now the hemostat.
Alright, hold onto it.
The No. 3 sutures.
Alright, concentrate.
What is this? That hand skill...
Right now, what am I...
What am I looking at?
Cover him with film and move him to the surgery room.
Finish treating his splenorrhagia here, okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
This man... What is he?
What? Do you have a problem with the way I do my work?
That was an adventurous, irresponsible, and dangerous move.
I know. That means that the patient's life was in so much danger
that there was no choice but to do it that way.
Are you sure you'll fill like this later on?
When you tell the patient the way he was treated?
Is this about the patients rights that doctors have to follow?
Don't argue about those kinds of things in front of me.
My motivation is only one thing.
To save them! To save them, no matter what happens.
You can tell everything else to go to hell.
Please prepare 10 packs of RBC and 8 packs of fresh frozen plasma.
I'm going to get the surgical room ready.
Just what... is this place?
[IN SURGERY]
You're not going in?
I can't go. I was prohibited.
What is the reason for you not to say anything in there?
Opening someone's abdomen in the ER is seriously
something that can't be understood with common sense.
Plus, it was more than dangerous for the patient to be in that position.
Then, what about you?
You postponed one of your patient's treatment and went
to operate on a VIP patient, who died in the end.
You are here because you tried to get recognized for
doing that but instead you went there blindfolded.
Is that kind of surgery good?
Are you keeping in touch with Sunbae In Soo?
I heard it from one of the department heads.
Looks that they contacted us with all of your history from someone they know.
It was a situation where I had no choice.
If I hadn't took on the risk like I did, I wouldn't
have been able to grab hold of the opportunity.
What opportunity?
The opportunity to try and prove my skills!
To whom?
Are you asking because you don't know?
To the higher-ups in the company!
Don't you know that everything boils down to connections there?
For low people like me we have to at least try whatever the hell we end up being.
To just ride on the line or get acknowledged with a VIP patient.
What happened to you during the last five years?
Your fear has increased, as has your excuses.
Why did you change so much?
Is living... that difficult for you?
You said you'd only be here for a month, two at the most?
Hang in there well. Though I'm not sure if you can even make it.
I like you, Sunbae.
This is your last year as a resident right? Let's
get married as soon as your residency is over.
I'm sorry.
Would your heart be hidden if you act this way?
Why? Since you're dating that guy,
does it make your heart pound?
This is an illusion. It's an illusion.
It's an illusion.

I have something to tell you.
Hey, I'm tired. Later.
As expected,
Madonna sounds the best on this cassette.
♬ I just walk away ♬
I said I have something to tell you.
A patient's rights, a doctor's loyalty and integrity,
No matter how much you tell them to go to hell-
Have you ever killed several people?
Not your number of deaths or successes after you made it in your field.
I'm asking if you've ever killed several people
with your knife after you became a specialist.
Just one person. Right before I came here.
Add 10 more to that.
Come see me again after you've killed about that many.
Then I'll listen to what you have to say.
♬ They can beg ♬
Ah, right. My right wrist is holding out well, right?
Watch carefully because I will bring it out whenever I need it.
♬ Is always Mister Right ♬
I'm sorry, but I won't be here that long.
In as soon as one month,
or even faster than that if possible, I'm going to leave this crappy hospital.
Well, if you're going to leave a crappy hospital, then you must have somewhere to go?
I'm going to go back to the place where I was.
So what did they say? Did they say they'd accept you back?
I didn't get kicked to this place because I
have no skills. It was because I had bad luck.
I didn't come all this way and spend my time
studying my ass off, interning, doing dissections, and running around all night
to come to waste my life trapped in some countryside hospital!
So, that's why I'm saying... What's your point?
No matter what happens,
I'm going to go back to my original hospital.
♬ 'Cuz we are living in a material world ♬
♬ And I am a material girl ♬

Dr. Kang Dong Joo!
You've got a call from Seoul. She says she's your mother.
She said that she's been calling your cellphone but you won't answer,
so she called the hospital personally.
Sunbae Yeon Soo.
Later.
Please tell her that I'll call her later because I'm busy right now.
Yes, Sunbae? It's me.
Mother? Ah, yes, Mother. Dr. Kang Do Joo is busy right now.
Ah, yes. I understand. Sorry for disturbing you.
What does that mean?
You're saying that Head Director Do and Head Director Yeo are friends?
That's right.
I heard that Head Director Do here and Head Director Yeo there
are very close friends from college.
Ah, really?
You went and gave him your best greetings as soon as you got there, right?
You have to suck up to Director Yeo no matter what.
If you're going to change Head Director Do's mind,
you've got no choice but to make yourself likeable to
Head Director Yeo. You get what I'm saying, right?
And I managed to get this information from someone I know
Director Yeo really loves to play baduk.
And he really loves oriental orchids.
Sunbae. I don't really know anything about baduk,
and about plants..I not a person who knows anything about it.
Hey, you frustrating person! Do you want to turn
into a fossil at Doldam Hospital like that?
What is it?
Excuse me. Actually...
It's okay. If you have something to say, then go ahead and say it.
Earlier this morning, I had way too much on my
mind, so I wasn't able to greet you properly.
If I made a mistake earlier, please be understanding of that, Head Director.
No, there's nothing like that.
Is that so?
Ah, right!
I heard about you from Master Kim.
Yes? Master Kim?
I'm talking about the head of surgery.
Ah. You call him that?
Even though he seems particular from his first impression, you'll learn a lot from him.
Well, I don't really know about that...
No matter what, be polite. Create a good image for yourself.
Yes, sir. I'll work hard.
- Alright then. You can leave now. - Yes, sir.
What?
Did you have something else to say?
Um, actually-
Head Director! Dr. Yoon Seo Joon is having another seizure!
Again?
Let's Master Kim know, quickly! Let's go.
Sunbae!
Dr. Yoon.
Put that down, right now.
It's better not to step toward her. She trusts Dr. Oh.
You did well up until now.
In just a few days, your prohibition from the surgery operatory will also be lifted.
Does it make you happy?
The sounds won't stop.
It's because you keep thinking you hear it.
You have already fully recovered and are better now.
Alright. Give that to me.
The scalpel... Give it here.
Help me.
Please help me.
I died because of you
Sunbae...
Why are you like this?
What's wrong?
Why are you holding that scalpel so dangerously?
I like you, Sunbae.
Give it here.
Quickly.
No.
No, Sunbae!
Bring me some gauze. Hurry!
That's it.
It seems that she took too many sedatives. Her vitals are unstable too.
Anyway it seems like the blade cut through her artery right?
Let's do hydration and quickly move her to the operating room.
Okay.
-All right. Tourniquet. It has all been prepared.
- Put the pressure at 250. - Yes, Doctor.
Turn the tourniquet on.
The size of the abrasion is small, but it's deep.
Artery, nerve, tendon, two of them.
No, three. So we have to reconnect five things in total. Have you done this before?
I asked if you've ever done it.
No. I've only seen it in videos. This is my first time actually doing it.
From this moment on,
If you make even one mistake, I'll cut off your hand and send it to Yoon Seo Jung
Know that.
Let's get started.

Romantic Dr. Kim ~ Preview ~
Why is Sunbae here in this strange place?
What in the world was she doing here for the past five years?
You're the one who complicated my life. Do you not realize that?!
Take your hands off this patient right now!
I cannot entrust a patient to someone who has self-harmed.
I tried so hard for the past five years!
Why in the world did you come to Doldam Hospital?
Why did you show up in front of me again?
Doctor, what is your real identity?
Boo Yong Joo. That guy has returned.
I asked you what your true identity is, Doctor.
- Mas... You're outed from Geodae hospital forever!
- ter - And from anywhere in all of Korea!
- Kim. - Because I'll bury you forever!
What is your true identity?
Try using that punk Kang Dong Joo well.
I'm called Dr. Master Kim.
That good enough?
