[The story in this episode is a fiction by creation.]
What is beauty?
Its definition has
continually changed over time
The traditional beauty in our country
required a broad forehead,
slender eyes, and a small mouth.
However, as Westernization progressed,
large eyes, a high nose,
and distinct facial features
became the sought-after
sensual silhouette for beauty.
Moving past the 80s, which favored round
and prominent double eyelids and lovely faces,
In the 2000s,
clear deer-like eyes and
a V-line's purity were the trend.
So,
what is today's beauty?
It is diversity.
Not uniform beauty standards,
but pursuing one's own aesthetic standards.
We now live in an era where one can
choose beauty through plastic surgery.
According to one's own standards
and personality,
you can now create your own
new version of beauty.
Without being tied to someone else's standards,
your natural beauty can be further nurtured.
KSH Cosmetic Surgery
will provide you with the highest level
of plastic surgery services.
With this philosophy,
KSH Cosmetic Surgery, which has been
leading the new standards of beauty,
moves beyond Korea to pursue global beauty,
with Senianan, a global resort company,
providing the utmost convenience,
and the fantastic collaboration of KSH Cosmetic
Surgery's high-quality medical skills!
It's none other than
Bintan Beauty Center, ladies and gentlemen.
[Bintan Beauty Center]
K Cosmetic's overseas expansion
has truly made its mark.
Then, the doctor in charge
of local treatments, could it be
that person?
Yes, that's correct.
The ace of our hospital,
Director Cha Jeong Woo.
Kim Yoon-bin, 30-year-old female patient,
an actress by profession.
Due to a newly selected advertisement,
she desires surgery, from breast augmentation
to eyes, nose, and even facial contouring.
[In Surgery]
Since the shooting schedule
is already set, a quick recovery is needed.
It's possible, right? Director Cha?
We're beginning the surgery.
[Anesthesia Time]
Scalpel.
[In Surgery]
The 300cc H-type implant has been confirmed.
Let's examine the shape.
It's done, I'll close it.
Cut.
- Good work.
- Good work.
Good job.
[Operation Time: 3:30:12]
You've become perfect now.
Fascinated by a beauty that outshines actors,
a man dressed in designer class
for high-end clubs
is the perfect target.
The previous hospital
sent a written confirmation…
By feigning romantic relationships,
the amount scammed from 5 male victims
under the pretense of borrowing money alone
is a whopping 450 million.
Target secured.
Still looking fabulous?
We've met before.
You don't remember?
This.
You have touched it properly, right?
Okay, found it.
She went under construction again
for her face since last year?
So, she's a plastic surgery beauty swindler.
Since she's a woman with a temper,
don't provoke her first,
just secure the condition on-site
and arrest position.
Who doesn't have a temper?
Just come over quickly.
I'm feeling anxious again.
Hey, baby.
How… did you come alone?
Wow! You're a rare natural beauty these days.
I'm not interested, could you please go away?
I didn't touch this, did I?
When did you get your cheekbones done?
Got them shaved a few months ago, why?
You should visit the hospital where you had the
surgery, seems like the pain would be severe.
How did you know?
You should consult with the surgeon.
When someone is speaking, you should
respond while looking in their eyes, right?
Where are you going like that?
Once I'm interested,
it's hard to turn off my feelings.
I said move out of the way.
Park Mi Soon!
Hospital!
I'm a patient.
Let's go back and talk.
Huh? That doctor! That doctor told me
to go to the hospital quickly.
Excuse me, doctor!
Can you please talk to me? I'm a patient.
Did you say my cheekbones came out?
Hey!
Excuse me, doctor!
Hey! You!
Detective,
can I go and get a quick check-up
from that doctor?
No, that doctor touched my face, and then
he said that he got the dislocated bone
right back in place.
Ah, he must have x-ray vision!
Let's go quietly,
or should I adjust your jaw for you?
Excuse me!
It hurts!
- I'll wait at the station.
- Okay.
See you later.
I've confirmed with the victim who reported it.
They said it's Park Mi Soon.
What about the other victims?
Did you contact them?
What can we do at this hour?
Go in and list up all the victims.
What happened?
No, I wanted to catch her elegantly
today as well.
Let's just go, Miss Park Mi Soon.
My legs hurt.
But what should I have done?
Park Mi Soon wasn't cooperating.
Should I have played baseball?
It was a perfect throw.
I debuted this skirt today.
You know what happens after.
There was pushing and pulling.
We bickered a bit.
Ugh, hey!
Ouch, my jaw! My jaw is dislocated!
My jaw's really dislocated!
But it's not because of me
that her jaw is dislocated.
It's really not.
Using ointment like perfume…
And, if you
are dressed like you're going somewhere nice,
please have a personality to match!
Dressed like this?
Put it back.
And hurry up with your errands.
[KSH Cosmetic Surgery]
[Director Cha Jeong Woo,
Specialist in Cosmetic Surgery]
Gosh.
She says she doesn't want
to go out of the house
because she is painting something.
I think it's because of the scar.
While showering, hot water suddenly came out
and she got a little scalded.
You got scalded while showering?
But your hands are fine.
If the hot water that could cause
a second-degree burn touching your face,
your hands would have reacted first.
So, and what?
Is the surgery possible or not?
This is a specialized
cosmetic surgery hospital.
We do not do reconstructive surgery.
What?
Hey, Hyo Ju,
Hey, Nam Hyo Ju!
What kind of hospital is this?!
- Alas.
- Sir.
Hey!
If you're a doctor, is it okay
to disregard people like this?
I'm sorry.
I should have informed you when you registered.
To drive away someone who came for
treatment because they are feeling ill…
What kind of hospital is this!
- Oh dear, sir.
- What is it?
Are you going to damage the property?
That would put you
in a very difficult position.
We'll file a report, undergo investigation,
and enter a compensation claim, right?
Would you be okay with that?
I'm not sure what has made you so angry,
- if you tell me--
- Hey!
You guys ignore a sick person
and just take money while massaging breasts.
Is that what a doctor does?
Do you think anyone wearing a gown is a doctor?
If we're not going to take the money,
we wouldn't be smiling
at rowdy customers either.
Go back safely.
Are you okay?
I shouldn't have accepted the reservation.
Honestly, it's not a surgery
that our hospital should handle.
What kind of consultation is it?
It's for burn reconstruction.
He asked Director Cha for that?
They pleaded so much
just to get a consultation once.
Please do a better patient filtering.
Reconstructive surgery is
not our field of treatment.
Of course.
If there are any new consultations coming up,
don't give them to Director Cha, got it?
Don't schedule any. The director has
to prepare for departure.
Let's help him out, ok?
Director Cha is really leaving.
But, are you okay?
Originally, Director Han was the one
who prepared the Bintan partner doctor.
What are you talking about? It's good for me.
Isn't Professor Cha going to
suffer abroad in my stead?
I'll just establish myself
as the ace doctor of these K-girls.
Cheer up and go buy a cup of coffee.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
We came after receiving a report.
Where is Oh Ji Eun?
What's the matter?
What is this?
This is a surgical accident, right?
Accident? It seems there
might be some misunderstanding.
I asked, where is Oh Ji Eun?
Yes, she's currently in surgery,
but what's the issue?
Surgery?
Excuse me!
Just a moment.
[In surgery]
Starting Oh Ji Eun's facial contouring surgery.
Please insert the army retractor number 15.
Oh Ji Eun!
Ji Eun!
Please check the surgery consent form here.
Oh Ji Eun is currently undergoing surgery.
It seems there was a problem
during the surgery. Did you check it properly?
Of course.
The patient signed it herself, and
we proceeded according to the procedure.
It seems like the guardian might be under
some kind of misunderstanding now.
No, this surgery can't go on.
Stop it right now.
Ji Eun!
What are you doing?
Why didn't you set the retractor?
It seems like
the patient's guardian is outside.
Shall we find out what's going on?
Why?
Let's see why the guardian is acting like that,
whether to start or to stop after hearing her.
The patient is an adult
and has completed the surgical consent.
Delaying the surgery while under anesthesia
won't benefit the patient, either.
Let's proceed according to the procedure.
If Director Cha says so, that's what we'll do.
Saw.
I will begin the incision.
Suction.
What? Making a halt request
while the daughter is having surgery?
What's the reason?
What?
The surgery is over.
She will be moved to the ward soon.
This…
This is the diagnosis form
for our child's depression and anxiety.
Without properly checking,
isn't this pushing a neurotic patient with
poor judgment to undergo cosmetic surgery?
There is no obligation to check the psychiatric
diagnosis of a patient who'll receive surgery.
Do you know the reason why our child
wanted to do cosmetic surgery?
Should I know that?
You're a doctor, after all.
As a doctor, you should ensure that
the patient can make the right choice.
Whether it was the right choice or not,
let's talk after seeing the results.
There wasn't a problem with the surgical
procedure or the process, was there?
Open the surgical video.
En garde!
Prêts?
Allez!
En garde!
Prêts?
Allez!
Halt!
En garde!
Prêts?
Allez!
Exactly, you're doing well.
Congratulations.
Since you won, you should
happily buy the drinks.
Just practice more and win,
then I'll buy you drinks.
Ah!
Even I would struggle with that.
Don't think about winning, just accept it.
What are you talking about?
He said he'll buy drinks.
I'm going to practice all night,
so don't stop me.
Come in quickly, let's go again.
[KSH Cosmetic Surgery]
No, it's just that.
It was a misunderstanding
that caused the mishap.
Yes, hello? Sir?
Oh, I really… truly…
Someone even took a picture and uploaded it.
Where?
Explain the situation to the person in charge
and request deletion.
Even those who were waiting just left.
The remaining procedures
for Director Cha have all been canceled.
It's a misunderstanding.
It will quiet down with time.
Let's not worry too much
and just do our own work.
Excuse me.
I would like to get some consultation.
Can I see someone right away?
General consultation?
What kind of surgery are you considering?
Eyes and nose.
If I want to change the contours of the face,
how much can
it be changed?
I want to look completely different,
like another person.
If I get cosmetic surgery,
it may turn out that way.
Please consider it well.
What?
If it's the external change you want to make.
If you really need the surgery,
come back then.
But…
Why some people get surgery and others don't?
What could be the reason?
Perhaps he's considering
the person's feelings about the surgery?
Considering the minds of complete strangers?
Why doesn't he understand
my anxious heart just like that?
Because of this person,
my insides are burning to the point
that my face is turning black, really!
What should I do?
Would you like to have a consultation
for a whitening treatment?
Please have a consultation
before you go, doctor.
Wow!
You really don't understand my feelings.
Oh dear!
Da Hee?
Amazing! I met you here!
What brings you here?
Have you been well?
I guess I'm lucky,
since I've run into you by chance.
Stop.
What are you doing right now?
Ah, get out!
Why?
Hey, a patient has arrived.
Fortunately, artery or
nerve damage was avoided,
but the cheekbones and the bones
around the eye are somewhat fractured.
While trying to save the fragmented
bones that can be saved,
reconstructive surgery will be necessary.
Let's transfer her to the emergency department
of a nearby university hospital.
How can an emergency medical doctor
leave an emergency patient?
That's a thing of the past.
I'm just a local plastic surgeon now.
So, you do it.
Me, perform surgery on a trauma patient?
[Facial bone fracture]
It's not typical facial bone fracture.
The patient has orbicularis muscle paralysis.
The orbicularis muscle is on the
fractured bone near the orbital fracture.
[Entrapment: Impingement]
It seems to be entrapped.
You ought to know better.
It needs immediate surgery.
You are double-board certified
in emergency medicine and plastic surgery.
You're the perfect fit as an
emergency plastic surgeon.
An emergency surgery at the plastic surgery
center in the middle of the night.
The title is also good.
Are you suggesting we use the emergency
patient to promote the hospital?
It's about planning your future
with that patient's surgery.
The first impact caused a fracture.
After that, the bones were pushed in,
and the eye muscles were wedged inside.
[Orbital contents]
Secure the wedged orbital contents first.
While fitting together the broken pieces,
we reinforce and fix it.
[Bone fragment assembly and fixation device]
Brown's titanium plate,
and prepare two plates, 'L' and 'I' shaped.
What about the saw?
[ORIP: Open Reduction Internal Fixation]
No need for saw with ORIP.
Please prepare an army retractor,
number 15.
It fits perfectly.
It's amazing,
[KSH Cosmetic Surgery]
What are you talking about?
You say there's no evidence I was assaulted?
The scene of Kim Da Hee being assaulted
was not captured
because it was obscured by a car.
But, isn't my face evidence enough?
Choi Chang Min has also
submitted a medical report,
claiming that you were the first to attack.
Amazing! I met you here!
Hey, let's talk for a moment.
I have nothing to say to you.
Just a minute, hold on.
Hey, Da Hee, just a second.
Come on, it'll only take a second.
I don't want to.
I pushed him away because
I was being dragged by force.
You're calling that a mutual assault?
After going to the pub in
the basement of that building,
since we met by chance,
I just wanted to have a quick chat to catch up.
Darn it.
Because of a sudden shove…
Are you out of your mind?
So, did you hit the victim's face
with a glass bottle?
It was an accident.
I really don't know why I did it,
because it hurt so much
and there was blood everywhere.
I just swung whatever I could grab.
I really didn't know if it
was a bottle or something else.
I wonder why I did that.
For now, the verified CCTV footage
supports Choi Chang Min's statement.
So, it's considered a spontaneous response
to Kim Da Hee's act of violence.
You're going to stick to
it consistently, right?
Yes, mutual assault.
It's a simple injury.
Excuse me.
What's the matter?
I heard you moved Ms. Kim Da Hee to the
surgery room from the parking lot yesterday.
I haven't seen anything.
Do you know me?
What do you want to say?
No, someone said that.
To the discerning eyes
of our dear Cha Jeong Woo,
it's said that they can see things
others couldn't notice.
He said that he got the dislocated bone
right back in place.
Ah, he must have x-ray vision!
I believe the diagnosis
has already been issued.
I've seen that too.
I'm talking about an expert opinion
on the victim's scars, not the diagnosis.
Striking the cheekbone with a glass bottle
would have caused a fracture,
and then the broken glass bottle would
have hit the fractured area again.
That would seem to be how the scar was formed.
That's how you should proceed
with the investigation then.
No, I don't have a medical license.
It wasn't a swing made in
a moment of sudden anger,
there were at least two attacks--
You want proof of the perpetrator's intent?
Yes.
You're asking for a brief appraisal
report on the victim's scars.
Yes.
Bring a warrant.
I don't disclose patient medical
information that carelessly.
Yes, you're right.
Hey!
Bring a warrant.
I don't disclose patient medical
information that carelessly.
Yes, you're right.
Hey!
Are you really a doctor after all this?
What kind of doctor are you,
only fixing women's faces?
No, I'm not here for that.
After she came and went back, my kid left home.
Seeing how the doctor was dismissive,
she said she doesn't need a father
like me and left the house.
Sir, please calm down for now.
How can I calm down when my child
has run away from home? How?
This is all your fault!
You're making a fuss because
I look like I don't have money.
Is that why you refused treatment?
Sir, just a moment.
Sir, let's go outside and talk.
- Let go!
- Please, come out.
- Can you ignore someone like that?
- Oh dear, to me, you…
Ah, you know me.
- Let this go, please.
- Ah, please calm down.
- Let it go!
- No.
Don't overdo it. Sit down.
Please mind your head.
Sir, I am sorry.
You need to tell me the address.
[Director Cha Jeong Woo,
Cosmetic Surgery Specialist]
[Seoul Southern Police Station]
There is no criminal record, and the intent
behind the assault has not been proven.
If you're not applying for an arrest warrant,
we'll be going home for now.
Let's go.
Ah, darn it…
Maybe I should be hospitalized too.
Kim Da Hee keeps lingering
in the plastic surgery clinic.
I think I'm at a disadvantage if I stay quiet.
Just stay quiet.
Quiet?
That… just staying quiet would…
be taking it easy…
Gosh.
Why are you so noisy?
I apologize.
Kim Da Hee is putting on an act
in the hospital,
am I just supposed to shut up and stay silent?
Oh dear.
With this good thing?
Ah, what model is this?
It looks totally up-to-date.
You said you went to the pub in the plastic
surgery building and met her by chance?
The investigation is over, right?
If you need further investigation…
I'm a regular there.
You'd know if you investigated.
Yes, turns out you are a regular.
But it seems that you didn't know
that day was the regular day off.
I must have forgotten, that's why.
Ah, yes, that's enough.
That's a good answer.
We will see each other again.
Be careful with your body,
since you're a patient, and take care.
There's something with that guy, right?
Print out Choi Chang Min's card usage details
and online purchase history right away.
That guy has a tracker on him.
What?
Yes, I'll check it right away.
How about the personal protection
request for Ms. Kim Da Hee?
It's under review right now.
Tell them to process it quick.
Where are you going alone again?
Tell them to hurry up with the
processing, as we are short on time.
It would be better to come
back in about ten days,
to get a CT scan and get checked again.
In ten days?
I'm not sure if I'll be alive by then.
Thanks to you, I received good treatment.
Ms. Kim Da Hee.
What?
I'm currently on official duty,
so I'll contact you later.
Excuse me.
Just a moment, please.
What is it?
Let's get going for now.
What are you doing right now?
Ms. Kim Da Hee has been kidnapped.
Code one, suspected case of woman's abduction.
Blue SUV, license plate number 23-PA-3393.
Requesting mobilization for tracking.
What did you tell the police?
How is that important?
You got out safe and sound.
Did you tell them that I was a stalker?
No, to be beaten up and stupid enough
not to collect any evidence…
Right, I did that.
I thought that was the case,
but there was evidence.
What?
I said there's evidence.
Where the heck is it?
The place where you first hit me.
[Ganghwa-do]
Found it, the blue SUV 23-PA-3393.
It's heading towards the outskirts road
in the direction of Ganghwa-do.
Have you confirmed the location?
Since Ms. Kim Da Hee might be harmed,
coordinate with emergency services.
Yes.
To Ganghwa-do.
[Kirie Pension]
The day we came here for a visit,
I was on the phone with the delivery guy,
when some guy suddenly started strangling
me, demanding to know who I was.
I should have reported it then.
Hey, Da Hee, you're freaking hilarious.
Would it have made a difference if you had?
Then or now, I am still me,
and you're just you.
Nothing changes.
You'll see when you go.
What's there?
What is it?
Where's the evidence?
Aren't you going to tell me now?
In your head.
What?
Look, you remember every single one of them.
That's why you came all the way here
without me having to say it.
Are you kidding me right now?
Darn!
It's all recorded here.
Have you really gone crazy?
Found it.
That rat, seriously…
Why can't I see the reinforcements?
They said they're waiting on the other side.
In ten days?
I'm not sure if I'll be alive by then.
Mr. Choi Chang Min, open the door.
- I hoped for a change without doing anything.
- Mr. Choi Chang Min.
- I should've faced it instead of avoiding it.
- Open the door!
Open the door!
I won't live like a fool anymore.
Ms. Kim Da Hee.
I can help with physical changes, but
other changes, ultimately,
you have to make them yourself.
You!
Mr. Choi Chang Min,
you are under arrest for kidnapping,
confinement, assault, speed driving,
including obstruction of official duties and
violation of the Stalking Punishment Law.
Hey! Kim Da Hee!
Ms. Kim Da Hee.
Ms. Kim Da Hee, are you okay?
Can you recognize me?
He's caught red-handed now, isn't he?
We will transport the patient.
The patient had surgery for a facial collapse.
Please move her as stably as
possible and monitor the vitals.
Yes, understood.
I'll move you to the ambulance.
Try to hold me.
Are you okay?
Did you look into what we discussed?
I've confirmed the purchase of a tracker
from Choi Chang Min's card history.
The tracker…
We found it.
Yes.
- Ah, darn it.
- Thank you for your hard work
Chocolate.
♫ It's okay, whatever it was ♫
♫ I don't cry ♫
Jeong Woo, give me your hand.
♫ This tiresome, dark night too ♫
Aren't the clothes a bit small?
The arms are a bit…
It's not comfortable to move.
It is good, and it fits perfectly.
Really?
You don't know?
About what?
The expression. Keeping a straight face
when the curtains open lasts a lifetime.
Yes.
One moment, I am a doctor.
BP at 70 over 43.
The blood pressure is continuously dropping.
How much longer will it take?
The fastest, it looks like
it will take 7 to 8 minutes.
Please give me the gloves.
And prepare the gauze.
I will switch hands on three.
One, two, three.
I've found it, the bleeding wound.
I will maintain this state
until we reach the operating room.
Yes.
Doctor, what's going on?
I'm doing manual compression
on the bleeding area.
The vitals seem to have stabilized
during the compression.
Work up the trauma in other areas.
Yes, first let's secure the splenic artery.
Oh, stop looking.
Thanks to you, the surgery
went well, just go back.
Didn't you come from choosing the wedding suit?
Good job, what are you going
to do about your fiancee?
I'll have to buy a new one.
She will be shocked, hurry.
[Hye Jin]
If you mess up today,
it will follow you for life.
Oh, Hye Jin, sorry. I'm just on my way out.
Oppa.
What's wrong? Is something wrong?
I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier.
What do you mean by that?
Why are you acting like this?
Hye Jin.
Hye Jin.
Please help, my girlfriend is alone at home.
Are you okay?
Please say something.
Are you okay?
[Seoul Southern Police Station]
Did you ask Dr. Cha Jeong Woo to send
the note about Ms. Kim Da Hee's case?
What note?
The first assault case that happened
in the underground parking lot.
It's a note that refutes
Choi Chang Min's claim of mere injury.
[Circumstances of the occurrence
of fractures and lacerations]
Truly, a person you can never fully understand.
Fortunately, the victim's primary
physician followed her in his car
and she was rescued quickly.
[Plastic surgeon rescues kidnapped patient]
He had recently operated on the victim
in an emergency as a
plastic surgeon in Gangnam.
While leaving work, he saw
one of his female patients
being assaulted by her ex-boyfriend.
As a doctor, you should know the reason
why the patient wanted to have surgery.
Whenever I want to see Ji Sun's face,
I've been holding back
while looking at your face.
What should I do now?
You must know everything by now.
The face needed to be changed
for me to be able to live properly.
As long as it's not this face, it's fine.
It's my twin sister who
passed away in an accident.
While calling
Ji Sun's name,
every time you held me and cried,
do you know how I felt?
Mom…
We
should let Ji Sun go now, mom.
[Plastic surgeon rescues a kidnapped patient]
Oh my, what an event.
For someone who detests
meddling in others' affairs.
That must be Director Cha's true intention.
Rather than Director Cha's sincerity,
it's our director's foresight.
What are you talking about?
Ah, yes, that's right.
Then I will schedule an interview
with Dr. Cha Jeong Woo.
Yes, I will see you soon.
Yes, stay safe.
Done.
Who are you to decide on the interview?
And you,
who are you to rescue a kidnapped patient
by chasing after the abductor
and boldly saving her?
Is it common to create a good topic
in a cosmetic plastic surgery clinic?
This opportunity should just simply
cement the hospital's recognition for sure.
Beautiful.
Beautiful!
[Thank you, Doctor. From Kim Da Hee]
[Doctor saves patient]
A plastic surgeon in Gangnam, Seoul has
rescued a woman who was his
patient from being kidnapped
and has become a topic of discussion.
The doctor had previously seen the victim being
assaulted by her ex-boyfriend in the
parking lot of the plastic surgery clinic,
witnessed it on-site, rescued her,
and performed emergency surgery.
This time, as the man forced the
discharged woman into a vehicle and fled,
the doctor immediately followed
and rescued her quickly.
This is all because of you!
IYou're making a fuss because
I look like I don't have money.
Is that why you refused treatment?
[Cha Jeong Woo, you rat]
Cha Jeong Woo, you rat!
While completely disregarding people,
what kind of doctor
selectively treats patients,
and wraps himself up as a
righteous doctor using patients
thrilled with the shamelessness
of trying to gain fame.
Don't live like that, Cha Jeong Woo, you rat.
[Face Me]
At a famous plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam,
the father of a patient
who was refused treatment
committed suicide by jumping off from his home.
- Do you take the responsibility?
- Please say something.
Doctor Cha Jeong Woo, really…
Went between heaven and hell overnight.
From a righteous doctor who saved a patient
to a doctor mentioned in a dead person's will.
You're telling me to cooperate?
Just stand beside me.
Okay, then I'll take it. One, two.
Why are you doing this? Victim medical support.
As for the victims of crime,
they absolutely need that
consolation and empathy.
Can't I go to the plastic surgery clinic?
If it is related to Nam Gi Taek's death.
Why involve Doctor Cha Jeong Woo?

[The story in this episode is a fiction by creation.]
What is beauty?
Its definition has
continually changed over time
The traditional beauty in our country
required a broad forehead,
slender eyes, and a small mouth.
However, as Westernization progressed,
large eyes, a high nose,
and distinct facial features
became the sought-after
sensual silhouette for beauty.
Moving past the 80s, which favored round
and prominent double eyelids and lovely faces,
In the 2000s,
clear deer-like eyes and
a V-line's purity were the trend.
So,
what is today's beauty?
It is diversity.
Not uniform beauty standards,
but pursuing one's own aesthetic standards.
We now live in an era where one can
choose beauty through plastic surgery.
According to one's own standards
and personality,
you can now create your own
new version of beauty.
Without being tied to someone else's standards,
your natural beauty can be further nurtured.
KSH Cosmetic Surgery
will provide you with the highest level
of plastic surgery services.
With this philosophy,
KSH Cosmetic Surgery, which has been
leading the new standards of beauty,
moves beyond Korea to pursue global beauty,
with Senianan, a global resort company,
providing the utmost convenience,
and the fantastic collaboration of KSH Cosmetic
Surgery's high-quality medical skills!
It's none other than
Bintan Beauty Center, ladies and gentlemen.
[Bintan Beauty Center]
K Cosmetic's overseas expansion
has truly made its mark.
Then, the doctor in charge
of local treatments, could it be
that person?
Yes, that's correct.
The ace of our hospital,
Director Cha Jeong Woo.
Kim Yoon-bin, 30-year-old female patient,
an actress by profession.
Due to a newly selected advertisement,
she desires surgery, from breast augmentation
to eyes, nose, and even facial contouring.
[In Surgery]
Since the shooting schedule
is already set, a quick recovery is needed.
It's possible, right? Director Cha?
We're beginning the surgery.
[Anesthesia Time]
Scalpel.
[In Surgery]
The 300cc H-type implant has been confirmed.
Let's examine the shape.
It's done, I'll close it.
Cut.
- Good work.
- Good work.
Good job.
[Operation Time: 3:30:12]
You've become perfect now.
Fascinated by a beauty that outshines actors,
a man dressed in designer class
for high-end clubs
is the perfect target.
The previous hospital
sent a written confirmation…
By feigning romantic relationships,
the amount scammed from 5 male victims
under the pretense of borrowing money alone
is a whopping 450 million.
Target secured.
Still looking fabulous?
We've met before.
You don't remember?
This.
You have touched it properly, right?
Okay, found it.
She went under construction again
for her face since last year?
So, she's a plastic surgery beauty swindler.
Since she's a woman with a temper,
don't provoke her first,
just secure the condition on-site
and arrest position.
Who doesn't have a temper?
Just come over quickly.
I'm feeling anxious again.
Hey, baby.
How… did you come alone?
Wow! You're a rare natural beauty these days.
I'm not interested, could you please go away?
I didn't touch this, did I?
When did you get your cheekbones done?
Got them shaved a few months ago, why?
You should visit the hospital where you had the
surgery, seems like the pain would be severe.
How did you know?
You should consult with the surgeon.
When someone is speaking, you should
respond while looking in their eyes, right?
Where are you going like that?
Once I'm interested,
it's hard to turn off my feelings.
I said move out of the way.
Park Mi Soon!
Hospital!
I'm a patient.
Let's go back and talk.
Huh? That doctor! That doctor told me
to go to the hospital quickly.
Excuse me, doctor!
Can you please talk to me? I'm a patient.
Did you say my cheekbones came out?
Hey!
Excuse me, doctor!
Hey! You!
Detective,
can I go and get a quick check-up
from that doctor?
No, that doctor touched my face, and then
he said that he got the dislocated bone
right back in place.
Ah, he must have x-ray vision!
Let's go quietly,
or should I adjust your jaw for you?
Excuse me!
It hurts!
- I'll wait at the station.
- Okay.
See you later.
I've confirmed with the victim who reported it.
They said it's Park Mi Soon.
What about the other victims?
Did you contact them?
What can we do at this hour?
Go in and list up all the victims.
What happened?
No, I wanted to catch her elegantly
today as well.
Let's just go, Miss Park Mi Soon.
My legs hurt.
But what should I have done?
Park Mi Soon wasn't cooperating.
Should I have played baseball?
It was a perfect throw.
I debuted this skirt today.
You know what happens after.
There was pushing and pulling.
We bickered a bit.
Ugh, hey!
Ouch, my jaw! My jaw is dislocated!
My jaw's really dislocated!
But it's not because of me
that her jaw is dislocated.
It's really not.
Using ointment like perfume…
And, if you
are dressed like you're going somewhere nice,
please have a personality to match!
Dressed like this?
Put it back.
And hurry up with your errands.
[KSH Cosmetic Surgery]
[Director Cha Jeong Woo,
Specialist in Cosmetic Surgery]
Gosh.
She says she doesn't want
to go out of the house
because she is painting something.
I think it's because of the scar.
While showering, hot water suddenly came out
and she got a little scalded.
You got scalded while showering?
But your hands are fine.
If the hot water that could cause
a second-degree burn touching your face,
your hands would have reacted first.
So, and what?
Is the surgery possible or not?
This is a specialized
cosmetic surgery hospital.
We do not do reconstructive surgery.
What?
Hey, Hyo Ju,
Hey, Nam Hyo Ju!
What kind of hospital is this?!
- Alas.
- Sir.
Hey!
If you're a doctor, is it okay
to disregard people like this?
I'm sorry.
I should have informed you when you registered.
To drive away someone who came for
treatment because they are feeling ill…
What kind of hospital is this!
- Oh dear, sir.
- What is it?
Are you going to damage the property?
That would put you
in a very difficult position.
We'll file a report, undergo investigation,
and enter a compensation claim, right?
Would you be okay with that?
I'm not sure what has made you so angry,
- if you tell me--
- Hey!
You guys ignore a sick person
and just take money while massaging breasts.
Is that what a doctor does?
Do you think anyone wearing a gown is a doctor?
If we're not going to take the money,
we wouldn't be smiling
at rowdy customers either.
Go back safely.
Are you okay?
I shouldn't have accepted the reservation.
Honestly, it's not a surgery
that our hospital should handle.
What kind of consultation is it?
It's for burn reconstruction.
He asked Director Cha for that?
They pleaded so much
just to get a consultation once.
Please do a better patient filtering.
Reconstructive surgery is
not our field of treatment.
Of course.
If there are any new consultations coming up,
don't give them to Director Cha, got it?
Don't schedule any. The director has
to prepare for departure.
Let's help him out, ok?
Director Cha is really leaving.
But, are you okay?
Originally, Director Han was the one
who prepared the Bintan partner doctor.
What are you talking about? It's good for me.
Isn't Professor Cha going to
suffer abroad in my stead?
I'll just establish myself
as the ace doctor of these K-girls.
Cheer up and go buy a cup of coffee.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
We came after receiving a report.
Where is Oh Ji Eun?
What's the matter?
What is this?
This is a surgical accident, right?
Accident? It seems there
might be some misunderstanding.
I asked, where is Oh Ji Eun?
Yes, she's currently in surgery,
but what's the issue?
Surgery?
Excuse me!
Just a moment.
[In surgery]
Starting Oh Ji Eun's facial contouring surgery.
Please insert the army retractor number 15.
Oh Ji Eun!
Ji Eun!
Please check the surgery consent form here.
Oh Ji Eun is currently undergoing surgery.
It seems there was a problem
during the surgery. Did you check it properly?
Of course.
The patient signed it herself, and
we proceeded according to the procedure.
It seems like the guardian might be under
some kind of misunderstanding now.
No, this surgery can't go on.
Stop it right now.
Ji Eun!
What are you doing?
Why didn't you set the retractor?
It seems like
the patient's guardian is outside.
Shall we find out what's going on?
Why?
Let's see why the guardian is acting like that,
whether to start or to stop after hearing her.
The patient is an adult
and has completed the surgical consent.
Delaying the surgery while under anesthesia
won't benefit the patient, either.
Let's proceed according to the procedure.
If Director Cha says so, that's what we'll do.
Saw.
I will begin the incision.
Suction.
What? Making a halt request
while the daughter is having surgery?
What's the reason?
What?
The surgery is over.
She will be moved to the ward soon.
This…
This is the diagnosis form
for our child's depression and anxiety.
Without properly checking,
isn't this pushing a neurotic patient with
poor judgment to undergo cosmetic surgery?
There is no obligation to check the psychiatric
diagnosis of a patient who'll receive surgery.
Do you know the reason why our child
wanted to do cosmetic surgery?
Should I know that?
You're a doctor, after all.
As a doctor, you should ensure that
the patient can make the right choice.
Whether it was the right choice or not,
let's talk after seeing the results.
There wasn't a problem with the surgical
procedure or the process, was there?
Open the surgical video.
En garde!
Prêts?
Allez!
En garde!
Prêts?
Allez!
Halt!
En garde!
Prêts?
Allez!
Exactly, you're doing well.
Congratulations.
Since you won, you should
happily buy the drinks.
Just practice more and win,
then I'll buy you drinks.
Ah!
Even I would struggle with that.
Don't think about winning, just accept it.
What are you talking about?
He said he'll buy drinks.
I'm going to practice all night,
so don't stop me.
Come in quickly, let's go again.
[KSH Cosmetic Surgery]
No, it's just that.
It was a misunderstanding
that caused the mishap.
Yes, hello? Sir?
Oh, I really… truly…
Someone even took a picture and uploaded it.
Where?
Explain the situation to the person in charge
and request deletion.
Even those who were waiting just left.
The remaining procedures
for Director Cha have all been canceled.
It's a misunderstanding.
It will quiet down with time.
Let's not worry too much
and just do our own work.
Excuse me.
I would like to get some consultation.
Can I see someone right away?
General consultation?
What kind of surgery are you considering?
Eyes and nose.
If I want to change the contours of the face,
how much can
it be changed?
I want to look completely different,
like another person.
If I get cosmetic surgery,
it may turn out that way.
Please consider it well.
What?
If it's the external change you want to make.
If you really need the surgery,
come back then.
But…
Why some people get surgery and others don't?
What could be the reason?
Perhaps he's considering
the person's feelings about the surgery?
Considering the minds of complete strangers?
Why doesn't he understand
my anxious heart just like that?
Because of this person,
my insides are burning to the point
that my face is turning black, really!
What should I do?
Would you like to have a consultation
for a whitening treatment?
Please have a consultation
before you go, doctor.
Wow!
You really don't understand my feelings.
Oh dear!
Da Hee?
Amazing! I met you here!
What brings you here?
Have you been well?
I guess I'm lucky,
since I've run into you by chance.
Stop.
What are you doing right now?
Ah, get out!
Why?
Hey, a patient has arrived.
Fortunately, artery or
nerve damage was avoided,
but the cheekbones and the bones
around the eye are somewhat fractured.
While trying to save the fragmented
bones that can be saved,
reconstructive surgery will be necessary.
Let's transfer her to the emergency department
of a nearby university hospital.
How can an emergency medical doctor
leave an emergency patient?
That's a thing of the past.
I'm just a local plastic surgeon now.
So, you do it.
Me, perform surgery on a trauma patient?
[Facial bone fracture]
It's not typical facial bone fracture.
The patient has orbicularis muscle paralysis.
The orbicularis muscle is on the
fractured bone near the orbital fracture.
[Entrapment: Impingement]
It seems to be entrapped.
You ought to know better.
It needs immediate surgery.
You are double-board certified
in emergency medicine and plastic surgery.
You're the perfect fit as an
emergency plastic surgeon.
An emergency surgery at the plastic surgery
center in the middle of the night.
The title is also good.
Are you suggesting we use the emergency
patient to promote the hospital?
It's about planning your future
with that patient's surgery.
The first impact caused a fracture.
After that, the bones were pushed in,
and the eye muscles were wedged inside.
[Orbital contents]
Secure the wedged orbital contents first.
While fitting together the broken pieces,
we reinforce and fix it.
[Bone fragment assembly and fixation device]
Brown's titanium plate,
and prepare two plates, 'L' and 'I' shaped.
What about the saw?
[ORIP: Open Reduction Internal Fixation]
No need for saw with ORIP.
Please prepare an army retractor,
number 15.
It fits perfectly.
It's amazing,
[KSH Cosmetic Surgery]
What are you talking about?
You say there's no evidence I was assaulted?
The scene of Kim Da Hee being assaulted
was not captured
because it was obscured by a car.
But, isn't my face evidence enough?
Choi Chang Min has also
submitted a medical report,
claiming that you were the first to attack.
Amazing! I met you here!
Hey, let's talk for a moment.
I have nothing to say to you.
Just a minute, hold on.
Hey, Da Hee, just a second.
Come on, it'll only take a second.
I don't want to.
I pushed him away because
I was being dragged by force.
You're calling that a mutual assault?
After going to the pub in
the basement of that building,
since we met by chance,
I just wanted to have a quick chat to catch up.
Darn it.
Because of a sudden shove…
Are you out of your mind?
So, did you hit the victim's face
with a glass bottle?
It was an accident.
I really don't know why I did it,
because it hurt so much
and there was blood everywhere.
I just swung whatever I could grab.
I really didn't know if it
was a bottle or something else.
I wonder why I did that.
For now, the verified CCTV footage
supports Choi Chang Min's statement.
So, it's considered a spontaneous response
to Kim Da Hee's act of violence.
You're going to stick to
it consistently, right?
Yes, mutual assault.
It's a simple injury.
Excuse me.
What's the matter?
I heard you moved Ms. Kim Da Hee to the
surgery room from the parking lot yesterday.
I haven't seen anything.
Do you know me?
What do you want to say?
No, someone said that.
To the discerning eyes
of our dear Cha Jeong Woo,
it's said that they can see things
others couldn't notice.
He said that he got the dislocated bone
right back in place.
Ah, he must have x-ray vision!
I believe the diagnosis
has already been issued.
I've seen that too.
I'm talking about an expert opinion
on the victim's scars, not the diagnosis.
Striking the cheekbone with a glass bottle
would have caused a fracture,
and then the broken glass bottle would
have hit the fractured area again.
That would seem to be how the scar was formed.
That's how you should proceed
with the investigation then.
No, I don't have a medical license.
It wasn't a swing made in
a moment of sudden anger,
there were at least two attacks--
You want proof of the perpetrator's intent?
Yes.
You're asking for a brief appraisal
report on the victim's scars.
Yes.
Bring a warrant.
I don't disclose patient medical
information that carelessly.
Yes, you're right.
Hey!
Bring a warrant.
I don't disclose patient medical
information that carelessly.
Yes, you're right.
Hey!
Are you really a doctor after all this?
What kind of doctor are you,
only fixing women's faces?
No, I'm not here for that.
After she came and went back, my kid left home.
Seeing how the doctor was dismissive,
she said she doesn't need a father
like me and left the house.
Sir, please calm down for now.
How can I calm down when my child
has run away from home? How?
This is all your fault!
You're making a fuss because
I look like I don't have money.
Is that why you refused treatment?
Sir, just a moment.
Sir, let's go outside and talk.
- Let go!
- Please, come out.
- Can you ignore someone like that?
- Oh dear, to me, you…
Ah, you know me.
- Let this go, please.
- Ah, please calm down.
- Let it go!
- No.
Don't overdo it. Sit down.
Please mind your head.
Sir, I am sorry.
You need to tell me the address.
[Director Cha Jeong Woo,
Cosmetic Surgery Specialist]
[Seoul Southern Police Station]
There is no criminal record, and the intent
behind the assault has not been proven.
If you're not applying for an arrest warrant,
we'll be going home for now.
Let's go.
Ah, darn it…
Maybe I should be hospitalized too.
Kim Da Hee keeps lingering
in the plastic surgery clinic.
I think I'm at a disadvantage if I stay quiet.
Just stay quiet.
Quiet?
That… just staying quiet would…
be taking it easy…
Gosh.
Why are you so noisy?
I apologize.
Kim Da Hee is putting on an act
in the hospital,
am I just supposed to shut up and stay silent?
Oh dear.
With this good thing?
Ah, what model is this?
It looks totally up-to-date.
You said you went to the pub in the plastic
surgery building and met her by chance?
The investigation is over, right?
If you need further investigation…
I'm a regular there.
You'd know if you investigated.
Yes, turns out you are a regular.
But it seems that you didn't know
that day was the regular day off.
I must have forgotten, that's why.
Ah, yes, that's enough.
That's a good answer.
We will see each other again.
Be careful with your body,
since you're a patient, and take care.
There's something with that guy, right?
Print out Choi Chang Min's card usage details
and online purchase history right away.
That guy has a tracker on him.
What?
Yes, I'll check it right away.
How about the personal protection
request for Ms. Kim Da Hee?
It's under review right now.
Tell them to process it quick.
Where are you going alone again?
Tell them to hurry up with the
processing, as we are short on time.
It would be better to come
back in about ten days,
to get a CT scan and get checked again.
In ten days?
I'm not sure if I'll be alive by then.
Thanks to you, I received good treatment.
Ms. Kim Da Hee.
What?
I'm currently on official duty,
so I'll contact you later.
Excuse me.
Just a moment, please.
What is it?
Let's get going for now.
What are you doing right now?
Ms. Kim Da Hee has been kidnapped.
Code one, suspected case of woman's abduction.
Blue SUV, license plate number 23-PA-3393.
Requesting mobilization for tracking.
What did you tell the police?
How is that important?
You got out safe and sound.
Did you tell them that I was a stalker?
No, to be beaten up and stupid enough
not to collect any evidence…
Right, I did that.
I thought that was the case,
but there was evidence.
What?
I said there's evidence.
Where the heck is it?
The place where you first hit me.
[Ganghwa-do]
Found it, the blue SUV 23-PA-3393.
It's heading towards the outskirts road
in the direction of Ganghwa-do.
Have you confirmed the location?
Since Ms. Kim Da Hee might be harmed,
coordinate with emergency services.
Yes.
To Ganghwa-do.
[Kirie Pension]
The day we came here for a visit,
I was on the phone with the delivery guy,
when some guy suddenly started strangling
me, demanding to know who I was.
I should have reported it then.
Hey, Da Hee, you're freaking hilarious.
Would it have made a difference if you had?
Then or now, I am still me,
and you're just you.
Nothing changes.
You'll see when you go.
What's there?
What is it?
Where's the evidence?
Aren't you going to tell me now?
In your head.
What?
Look, you remember every single one of them.
That's why you came all the way here
without me having to say it.
Are you kidding me right now?
Darn!
It's all recorded here.
Have you really gone crazy?
Found it.
That rat, seriously…
Why can't I see the reinforcements?
They said they're waiting on the other side.
In ten days?
I'm not sure if I'll be alive by then.
Mr. Choi Chang Min, open the door.
- I hoped for a change without doing anything.
- Mr. Choi Chang Min.
- I should've faced it instead of avoiding it.
- Open the door!
Open the door!
I won't live like a fool anymore.
Ms. Kim Da Hee.
I can help with physical changes, but
other changes, ultimately,
you have to make them yourself.
You!
Mr. Choi Chang Min,
you are under arrest for kidnapping,
confinement, assault, speed driving,
including obstruction of official duties and
violation of the Stalking Punishment Law.
Hey! Kim Da Hee!
Ms. Kim Da Hee.
Ms. Kim Da Hee, are you okay?
Can you recognize me?
He's caught red-handed now, isn't he?
We will transport the patient.
The patient had surgery for a facial collapse.
Please move her as stably as
possible and monitor the vitals.
Yes, understood.
I'll move you to the ambulance.
Try to hold me.
Are you okay?
Did you look into what we discussed?
I've confirmed the purchase of a tracker
from Choi Chang Min's card history.
The tracker…
We found it.
Yes.
- Ah, darn it.
- Thank you for your hard work
Chocolate.
♫ It's okay, whatever it was ♫
♫ I don't cry ♫
Jeong Woo, give me your hand.
♫ This tiresome, dark night too ♫
Aren't the clothes a bit small?
The arms are a bit…
It's not comfortable to move.
It is good, and it fits perfectly.
Really?
You don't know?
About what?
The expression. Keeping a straight face
when the curtains open lasts a lifetime.
Yes.
One moment, I am a doctor.
BP at 70 over 43.
The blood pressure is continuously dropping.
How much longer will it take?
The fastest, it looks like
it will take 7 to 8 minutes.
Please give me the gloves.
And prepare the gauze.
I will switch hands on three.
One, two, three.
I've found it, the bleeding wound.
I will maintain this state
until we reach the operating room.
Yes.
Doctor, what's going on?
I'm doing manual compression
on the bleeding area.
The vitals seem to have stabilized
during the compression.
Work up the trauma in other areas.
Yes, first let's secure the splenic artery.
Oh, stop looking.
Thanks to you, the surgery
went well, just go back.
Didn't you come from choosing the wedding suit?
Good job, what are you going
to do about your fiancee?
I'll have to buy a new one.
She will be shocked, hurry.
[Hye Jin]
If you mess up today,
it will follow you for life.
Oh, Hye Jin, sorry. I'm just on my way out.
Oppa.
What's wrong? Is something wrong?
I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier.
What do you mean by that?
Why are you acting like this?
Hye Jin.
Hye Jin.
Please help, my girlfriend is alone at home.
Are you okay?
Please say something.
Are you okay?
[Seoul Southern Police Station]
Did you ask Dr. Cha Jeong Woo to send
the note about Ms. Kim Da Hee's case?
What note?
The first assault case that happened
in the underground parking lot.
It's a note that refutes
Choi Chang Min's claim of mere injury.
[Circumstances of the occurrence
of fractures and lacerations]
Truly, a person you can never fully understand.
Fortunately, the victim's primary
physician followed her in his car
and she was rescued quickly.
[Plastic surgeon rescues kidnapped patient]
He had recently operated on the victim
in an emergency as a
plastic surgeon in Gangnam.
While leaving work, he saw
one of his female patients
being assaulted by her ex-boyfriend.
As a doctor, you should know the reason
why the patient wanted to have surgery.
Whenever I want to see Ji Sun's face,
I've been holding back
while looking at your face.
What should I do now?
You must know everything by now.
The face needed to be changed
for me to be able to live properly.
As long as it's not this face, it's fine.
It's my twin sister who
passed away in an accident.
While calling
Ji Sun's name,
every time you held me and cried,
do you know how I felt?
Mom…
We
should let Ji Sun go now, mom.
[Plastic surgeon rescues a kidnapped patient]
Oh my, what an event.
For someone who detests
meddling in others' affairs.
That must be Director Cha's true intention.
Rather than Director Cha's sincerity,
it's our director's foresight.
What are you talking about?
Ah, yes, that's right.
Then I will schedule an interview
with Dr. Cha Jeong Woo.
Yes, I will see you soon.
Yes, stay safe.
Done.
Who are you to decide on the interview?
And you,
who are you to rescue a kidnapped patient
by chasing after the abductor
and boldly saving her?
Is it common to create a good topic
in a cosmetic plastic surgery clinic?
This opportunity should just simply
cement the hospital's recognition for sure.
Beautiful.
Beautiful!
[Thank you, Doctor. From Kim Da Hee]
[Doctor saves patient]
A plastic surgeon in Gangnam, Seoul has
rescued a woman who was his
patient from being kidnapped
and has become a topic of discussion.
The doctor had previously seen the victim being
assaulted by her ex-boyfriend in the
parking lot of the plastic surgery clinic,
witnessed it on-site, rescued her,
and performed emergency surgery.
This time, as the man forced the
discharged woman into a vehicle and fled,
the doctor immediately followed
and rescued her quickly.
This is all because of you!
IYou're making a fuss because
I look like I don't have money.
Is that why you refused treatment?
[Cha Jeong Woo, you rat]
Cha Jeong Woo, you rat!
While completely disregarding people,
what kind of doctor
selectively treats patients,
and wraps himself up as a
righteous doctor using patients
thrilled with the shamelessness
of trying to gain fame.
Don't live like that, Cha Jeong Woo, you rat.
[Face Me]
At a famous plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam,
the father of a patient
who was refused treatment
committed suicide by jumping off from his home.
- Do you take the responsibility?
- Please say something.
Doctor Cha Jeong Woo, really…
Went between heaven and hell overnight.
From a righteous doctor who saved a patient
to a doctor mentioned in a dead person's will.
You're telling me to cooperate?
Just stand beside me.
Okay, then I'll take it. One, two.
Why are you doing this? Victim medical support.
As for the victims of crime,
they absolutely need that
consolation and empathy.
Can't I go to the plastic surgery clinic?
If it is related to Nam Gi Taek's death.
Why involve Doctor Cha Jeong Woo?
