NEUROSURGERY
SENIOR MANAGER'S OFFICE
Come in.
Dr. Park, what brings you here?
Sir, this is my paper
for the spring conference next month,
and I was hoping you'd go over it.
Is that right?
I'll read it thoroughly
and review it over the weekend.
Thank you.
I heard you never leave the hospital
after you became chief.
It's not that I don't,
I just can't leave
because of all the emergencies.
It's the fate of neurosurgeons.
Seems like you lost a lot of weight?
Even if you have just one meal,
make sure to eat well.
Yes, sir.
Jae-hoon, when you have an opening,
let's get a drink together.
Yes, Father.
Do you have an appointment?
A high school reunion, it's been a while.
-Right.
-Keep the hospital safe.
Have fun!
EPISODE 9 YOUR SAD ENDING
-Thank you.
-This, this.
Hey, good morning!
-Hello.
-Hello.
I grabbed it first.
I don't think so.
Two men, comma,
fighting about strawberry jam, comma.
Use pink for the color.
Maybe a darker shade of pink
Flowery pink with a rustic vibe.
Looks good.
Take the comma out at the end,
and let's change it to a heart sign.
You should try it with milk.
Oh, right.
Thank you.
Will they be sweet today as well,
question mark.
It'll be a big issue if it airs.
Do you think the production team
will edit it out?
It can never ever go on the show.
From the broadcaster's perspective,
they'd want to air it.
They should never air it.
Ji-wan, if
Just in case they don't edit it out,
don't worry so much.
I'm here for you.
Can I ask you question?
Yes, of course.
In the first impression pick,
I was wondering why you picked me.
I
fell for you at first sight.
At first sight?
Yes.
You are my type.
His type?
Come in.
Producer Gu, here's a triple Americano.
I was really craving some caffeine.
Thank you.
I feel alive again.
Producer Gu,
this morning, while I was checking
responses from social media,
I found a strange post.
-About what?
-It was about Park Jae-hoon.
Hold on a second.
Please take a look.
What's this?
DID YOU KNOW PARK JAE-HOON
KILLED SOMEONE IN THE HOSPITAL?
Who would post something like this
Stories spread super quick here
because of the number of users.
Even reporters get sources from here.
There are over 500 comments, right?
What do we do? It could get out of hand.
Hey, hey, hey! Check this out.
What is it?
It's about Park Jae-hoon.
He was fired from a hospital
after a medical accident.
What?
What the hell is this?
Did you know about this?
-It's just a rumor.
-Are you sure?
Yes.
There was no medical accident.
Maybe it wasn't a medical accident,
legally speaking, but
the issue here is about the ethics.
It also doesn't make sense
that he ran away when he was a fellow.
Jae-hoon had personal reasons
at the time.
What's certain is
that this post is just a rumor.
Did someone die or not?
I'm asking if there's a slight chance
of it being criticized.
Did someone die during surgery or not?
Park Jae-hoon.
Hello.
We don't meet often
because I'm always in the monitoring room.
You're right.
How's filming?
At first, I had trouble getting used to it
because cameras were everywhere.
But I think I'm used to it now.
Everyone's like that.
It's only awkward in the beginning.
But they get used to it
and show their true colors.
Do you see my true colors too?
Whenever Han Ji-yeon and you
are on the screen,
the real-time ratings go up.
So I'm focusing more on suitable makeup
than on your true colors.
As a producer.
I've been thinking for a while
that Kang Chae-ri
Actually, Producer Kang Chae-ri,
you're really funny.
I'm not the funny type.
Fractured nose, vomiting on the street,
exposing other people's true colors.
I think you're very funny.
If you think that's funny
should I expose you as well?
Please do.
-Aren't you scared?
-About what?
You're loved as "national boyfriend" now.
But falling can be very quick.
I'm so old-fashioned.
I don't use my phone often
and don't have social media.
I don't think "national boyfriend"
is the right title for me.
Then why did you come on the show?
Didn't you want to be loved?
Being loved
I want it.
Then get your act together.
Love, popularity, hate, jealousy, mockery.
Even making someone a fool.
Everything
There's a fine line
as thin as a piece of sesame leaf.
So use your chopsticks well.
Chopsticks
should be used by the producer.
I'm just a sesame leaf.
Why did you bring me here
as a sesame leaf?
I heard you asked Yeo-reum
to bring me here.
That's enough for full shots.
VJs, please get closer.
You're a fast runner.
What's going on?
That was unexpected, Ji-yeon.
What was?
I was really surprised
because you ran so fast.
I've always liked running.
I didn't think you were the type
who liked wearing tracksuits.
I was only dressing up
to impress you, until now.
What do you mean? Now
I don't think my looks will work,
so I'll try to be comfortable.
What's wrong?
Was that too direct?
No, it's not like that.
I rushed things
while trying too hard to impress you.
I ended up acting like a fool
without knowing it.
I won't be like that from now on.
In the comments, people call me
"girl with a platonic crush."
That sounds upsetting.
It doesn't matter.
As things are now,
I'm not going to worry about my image.
I'm going to do it my way.
That's why I ran as fast as I could today.
Bare face, sweating, huffing and puffing.
It might not be pretty
but it's my true self.
Ji-yeon, this is what came to my mind.
'Who am I to deserve
what this person is giving me?'
I think I've received a confession
that's too good for me.
Are you drawing a line on me again?
To respect something I don't deserve,
I thought I should try my best
to find what kind of person you are.
While on the show,
I didn't think about what that meant
and the effects it could have.
I was too complacent.
Jae-hoon
You said we can't hide
the looks in our eyes.
Those words really touched my heart.
So I thought to myself
that I don't want to lie to anyone.
I can't make any promises
about how things will be in the end,
but I'll try my best
to treat you sincerely.
I'm actually curious about
what type of person you are, Ji-yeon.
Thank you for today.
You did well.
Thank you, guys.
We won't be filming
on the way back to the set.
So rest on the way back.
Jae-hoon, can we talk?
Please go and wait in the car.
What's up?
It's just
There's a weird rumor on the Internet
about why you quit the hospital.
-A rumor?
-A post on social media is all for now.
Just in case it gets out of hand,
I wanted to discuss how we can respond.
Do you want to use that for the show too?
No, Jae-hoon. It's not like that--
Why is everything so easy for you?
Or am I just an easy person for you?
Don't touch that incident.
We had a good breakfast,
so why are you doing this?
It's to digest. Yes, to digest.
People will recognize us from now on.
So you're taking care?
-They recognize?
-They will from now on.
Do they recognize you?
Chopsticks
should be used by the producer.
I'm just a sesame leaf.
Why did you bring me here
as a sesame leaf?
I heard you asked Yeo-reum
to bring me here.
Long ago, sesame leaves were
harvested from Asian countries
like Korea, India, and China.
But the fact that
it's only consumed as food in Korea,
did you know that?
I didn't know that.
In a love show like this,
it's a must to have an occupation,
like doctors and lawyers.
The quality must be as good as
Kimchi from Korean restaurants.
We couldn't just bring new or old Kimchi
as a replacement.
This time, I wanted to make Kimchi
out of sesame leaves.
That's why I told her to bring you.
Because there's a fresh vibe.
I can't beat you with words.
I like that.
I told you last time,
during our self-introduction.
-Yes, Yeo-reum.
-What are you doing, Hye-jin?
I was just wrapping up.
What's with your voice?
I'm just feeling a bit down.
Where are you?
At Han River.
Stay there. I'm coming.
-Can you come out?
-Of course, I can.
Wait there.
Okay.
-I'm going out for a bit.
-Okay.
Hye-jin.
You know you shouldn't drink, right?
Don't worry about it.
Go home and sleep.
Just these, please.
-Hey, Dae-sik.
-Hey, Yeo-reum, it's me.
I was contemplating
whether I should call you or not.
I thought it'd be best
to tell you.
Sure. What is it?
It's
Hye-jin and I are trying IVF.
IVF?
It's been a while.
We tried a few times but with no success.
It's not easy.
Hye-jin cried a lot too.
We'll try again next month.
Actually, she shouldn't drink alcohol
as it's not good for her body.
I'm so sorry, Dae-sik.
I really didn't know anything--
Hey, hey! Why are you sorry?
I'm the one who's sorry.
It seems like you're in trouble.
You know what Hye-jin's like.
She's not good at telling others
about herself.
I guess I could be overreacting.
But I'm just a bit worried.
I'm sorry.
So how about lemonade?
Can you please comfort her
with some lemonade?
Okay. I will.
Don't you worry.
I'm sorry, Yeo-reum.
Don't be sorry.
I'm the one who should be sorry.
By the way,
I'm jealous of Hye-jin.
Having a dependable husband like you,
I'm even more jealous today.
Why are you saying such things?
You know our Hye-jin
has been going through a tough life
after she met me.
So
pretend you don't know anything.
-Okay?
-Okay.
I'll pretend I don't know anything.
Okay. Take care.
Okay. I'm sorry.
Okay!
I'm sorry but can I take three out
and just take one?
-Okay.
-Just one second.
Sure.
Hye-jin, it's me.
I'm so sorry.
I got a last-minute call to film.
Yes.
We'll have to meet another time.
I'm sorry.
Okay, see you next time.
Next time, let's go for a real drink.
Okay.
What are you doing here?
Didn't you go back?
What are you doing here?
Didn't you go back?
I was on the way but came back here.
I thought you'd be here.
This isn't going to be enough for you.
You need four cans to start with.
-Why are you trying to pick a fight?
-Why are you sad?
What are you doing here by yourself?
For me,
it's not easy either.
What isn't?
What's not easy?
I think I'm trying really hard.
But something always seems to go wrong.
Nothing goes my way.
I wanted to become a successful producer.
But in reality, I'm just an average one.
I wanted to be a good friend.
I never think about my friends' feelings
and only whine.
Love, too.
Every heart I touch
turns into ashes and crumbles.
What about me?
Can I ask one more time?
About how you feel about me?
You are the most difficult one.
The most difficult one.
Thank you for earlier.
For what you said to me.
I know it's not cool to ask
but I'm really curious.
About what?
Because I might be embarrassed
after the first episode aired,
I was wondering whether you said it
out of courtesy,
or you were being sincere.
I was being sincere.
I thought you might be upset
after the show aired.
And it bothered me.
So I thought I had to say it
in front of everyone.
It wasn't out of courtesy. I meant it.
Something smells good!
He's cooking something.
What is it?
Wow, something smells really good.
Oh, Chef!
You're really showing yourself.
Can I ask you a favor?
What is it?
Can you ask Jang Tae-mi
to come to the backyard?
With nothing in return?
Give me a bite at least.
Hey, we shouldn't touch this.
I'll cook for you guys later.
I was just kidding. I'll tell her.
Someone must be happy.
Exactly, she must be happy.
This way, please.
-What's all this?
-Surprise!
You could say
this is as good as Madrid.
Have a seat.
Thank you. This looks good.
-It's so good!
-Really?
Of course it'll be good,
it was cooked by Korea's best chef.
But it's really touching
that you made this just for me.
Because this was cooked
with potato exposed to sea breeze,
the dough has to be special.
Really?
Just for you.
I was wondering when did you study abroad.
When I was 21.
-You were young.
-Yes, I was.
You must be from a rich family
to be able to go abroad
at such a young age.
It's not like that. But I guess so.
I need to go to the bathroom quickly.
I need to touch up my makeup.
Yes, go ahead.
What's taking her so long?
Is Jang Tae-mi throwing up again?
Mer mic is still on.
Hearing it is a real pain.
She's just skin and bones
so why is she throwing up?
That's why she's thin.
Yesterday, she threw up
after eating chicken.
A few days ago, she threw up
after eating cake.
She shouldn't even put it in her mouth,
why is she like that?
She should just eat salad to begin with.
She's just taking care of her image.
When is she coming out?
Come in.
I heard you were working
so I brought coffee.
Thank you.
-Would you like to sit for a bit?
-Yes.
You're working here?
Something came up.
A senior took over an important case
which was adjudged today.
The client was arrested in court.
What is "arrested in court?"
To put it simply,
the person was taken to jail
straight from the court.
That is a big deal.
Yes. So that's why I suddenly have
many things to take care of.
It's all the prosecutor's fault.
Why did he give such a verdict,
making your life difficult?
Verdicts are given by the judge
and prosecutors prosecute
Never mind. It's not important.
Why did he make a big fuss
by taking your Clementine to jail?
Should I teach them a lesson?
What's with the dad joke?
I'm serious.
I can really teach them a lesson.
No, not that.
Wasn't Clementine a joke?
Clementine, client
It wasn't a joke.
Clementine, customer.
Oh, customer is a guest.
Then what's Clementine?
-Thank you.
-Sure.
Jae-hoon.
I think you misunderstood
what I said yesterday.
Misunderstood what?
Because there were rumors that you quit
the hospital due to a medical accident,
the production team
had a meeting to discuss it.
What did you say there?
Just I told them the facts.
Facts? What facts?
I told them what happened.
The cast members are like chess pieces
to the producers, right?
-Park Jae-hoon.
-You'll deny it,
but I have happily signed up
to be used by you.
The production team will use the cast.
That's the show, and that's your job.
And that's why my life is a talking point.
You're misunderstanding it.
Do you think I'd actually use you?
I had no choice about your story--
Yeo-reum.
You're the one with the power.
I'm a cast member and you're a producer.
I
used to like you.
And you didn't have feelings for me.
So you don't have to make excuses.
I'm sorry. Did you wait too long?
Not at all.
I think my stomach is upset.
Really? What should we do?
Maybe we can call it a day,
and I'll ask you on a date next time.
Let's do that then.
I'm really sorry.
I'll go back to my room
and rest for a bit.
Yes, please rest.
Go in.
-What are you doing now?
-Sorry?
It looks fine.
Why are you throwing it away?
It's just leftovers.
Leftovers? It seems untouched.
It's trash. I have to throw it out.
I'll eat it.
Why would you eat this? It's leftover.
You'll be punished if you throw food away.
It looks delicious.
I didn't know
food like this existed in this world!
-Do you like it?
-It's really good.
These flavors make me feel
good and happy.
It's cold so it won't taste as good.
It's not just an average potato.
It's a golden potato.
That was made with sea breeze potatoes.
So it should taste good.
Because it embraced the sea breeze,
it's soft yet savory. It's so delicious.
It really is a special potato, right?
Yes, it's a special potato.
You say things nicely,
maybe because you're a webtoon author.
Chef John Jang,
I think you're a good person.
-Me?
-The food carries the cook's heart.
It's cold now but still delicious.
And I think
that's because of your warm heart.
How can you say such cheesy things
without a warning?
You're right.
Maybe it's because I always draw cartoons
and write cheesy lines all the time.
You should make this again for Tae-mi.
She must be so sad and sorry
that she couldn't eat this.
If you could please repeat one more time,
I'll jot them down.
These are your monthly tasks
given by Producer Kang Chae-ri.
Create an excel file of the exact amount
for this month's budget projection.
Also, a list of site hunting.
Create a pretty table
of 100 hot places for dating.
Call each of them
and summarize pros and cons.
Also organize and list office goods
and products in an Excel file.
Permanent markers, pens, staplers,
post-its and A4 sheets.
Don't miss a single sheet,
count all of them and write it down.
You know how to use Excel, right?
Yes, I do.
Okay then. Work hard.
You can do it, Sang-woo!
Really
Hello, this is Kim Sang-woo,
a producer of DNA's Kingdom of Love.
Sorry? You're an entertainment reporter?
Wait a moment, please.
This is Kim Sang-woo,
a producer of DNA's Kingdom of Love.
A reporter?
Producer, what do you think
of a horror experience date?
Maybe at an abandoned school?
Horror experience?
We'll prepare ghosts and the cast
can become physically intimate.
Sounds good. It'll have physical intimacy.
It's summer now too.
What do we do? An article was released.
An article?
About Park Jae-hoon!
A CONTROVERSY ABOUT THE CAS
OF 'KINGDOM OF LOVE 2', IS IT OKAY?
Producer Gu.
What should we do?
Jae-hoon.
I'm coming in, okay?
What should we do?
Would you like to explain it yourself
or should we do it instead?
There's nothing to explain.
I understand what you mean. We'll do it.
I did kill someone.
A person died because of me.
Jae-hoon
JJANG PLASTIC SURGERY
Hello, is Dr. Park Jae-hoon there?
He's not in today?
Okay.
You guys read the article, right?
-I did.
-Isn't it a big shock?
Exactly.
I thought so.
I had a bad feeling about him.
It must've been just me.
There wasn't much of a bad feeling.
He might be a prick,
but I don' think this is right.
Ji-yeon.
Are you okay?
Right. It must be hard for Ji-yeon too.
I trust Jae-hoon.
I'm sure there's an explanation for it.
Yes, Hyeon-so.
I'm okay.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of it myself.
I'm sorry.
Please take good care of Mom.
Okay.
DAE-SIK
Honey, have you talked to Jae-hoon?
His phone is turned off.
How about you, honey?
Did you speak to Yeo-reum?
She couldn't reach him either,
so she's going to his house.
How can something like this happen?
People are so nasty. They know nothing.
Truth always prevails.
And everything will work out fine.
Let's wait a bit.
SEPTEMBER PRODUCTION BUDGET TABLE
This is Kim-Sang-woo,
a producer of DNA's Kingdom of Love.
Sorry? You're at the lobby now?
Hello, Producer Gu.
He came to tell us about Park Jae-hoon.
Hello, Producer Gu.
He came to tell us about Park Jae-hoon.
Hello.
Hello.
Please take a seat.
What would you like to tell us?
Park Jae-hoon quit the hospital
because of me.
He did nothing wrong!
All these articles are lies!
They're made up stories.
I tried visiting him after rehab
to thank him.
But he had already quit the hospital.
What reporters are saying are lies.
There was no medical accident,
it's all because of me
Yes, Yeo-reum?
So Kim In-woo left you at the service area
in the middle of the highway?
Okay, I'll be there. Just wait.
Coming in or leaving Seoul?
It's an emergency! Hurry!
Please get out of the way!
Oh my God, hurry up!
Please move away!
Sir, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
It's the same on this side, right?
Apparently, a building exploded
at the intersection near the hospital.
Patients' conditions?
There were two who were unconscious,
so we did an emergency CT scan.
A middle-aged John Doe
with severe burn from the explosion.
Semi-coma mental state,
3mm and 5mm for pupil, sluggish,
20mm-thick left-sided SDH from the CT.
There's a mid-line shift of 15mm.
The other one is a middle-school boy
and we're looking for his guardian.
Stupor mental state, pupils are prompt,
20mm-thick right-sided SDH from the CT.
But because the amount isn't small,
it'll get worse.
Operation rooms are full but one.
What do we do?
Who should we take?
Take the boy.
What about the male patient
It will be table death even if we take him
to the operation room.
There's still hope for the boy.
Hurry up. We can't miss the golden hour.
Yes, understood.
YEO-REUM
DAE-SIK
Dae-sik, it's me.
The phone's out of battery.
It's driving me nuts.
Is Park Jae-hoon coming or what?
-Hey!
-Get in!
What are you doing here?
If something bad happens,
you need some pine nut wine.
Apparently, this town is known
for pine nut, so we came here.
Hurry up and get in.
Here.
PINE NUT RICE WINE
Drink it.
I'll stay in the front
so cry comfortably by yourself.
It's okay, Gu Yeo-reum. Cry.
We'll start the operation.
Scalpel.
CURRENT TIME
OPERATION DURATION AND ANESTHETIC DURATION
Metzenbaum scissors.
Suction.
Bipolar cauterization.
Let's wrap up.
Doctor, you did well.
You too.
It was a difficult surgery.
You saved him. You're amazing.
-He was destined to live.
-Sorry?
It wasn't my skills.
That boy
was destined to live.
All I did was lend my hand as a doctor.
Professor, what brings you here?
Jae-hoon.
Don't be alarmed.
Professor Park
Your father
passed away.
Sorry?
What are you
Your mom is in shock.
She insisted that we don't take
Professor Park to the mortuary.
Because she was refused it,
he's still in the emergency room.
Professor, what are you talking about?
Why is my father
My father said he was going
to his high school reunion.
There was a gas explosion
near the hospital.
When he was passing by,
it seems like he went in there
to save people.
He couldn't avoid the secondary explosion.
Because his face and body
are badly damaged,
it took a while to identify him.
I had to send him off.
I declared his death.
How could this happen?
Mom.
Jae-hoon.
How
Your poor dad!
How can something like this happen? How?
How can this happen, Jae-hoon?
Honey!
Honey!
How could this happen?
No! Father!
Father!
Dad! No!
Father. No!
How could this happen? Honey!
Park Jae-hoon! Can you do an interview?
There was no medical accident!
It's all because of me!
They were both trying to save me
and ended up like that. So
Let's put it out on our show.
So it's for Park Jae-hoon.
While we're at it,
let's sue the first exposer.
-How sure are you?
-We can't just barge in with cameras.
I'll talk to Jae-hoon first.
Regular cast can't make proper judgements.
If you want to fix this for him,
act bold like a real producer.
Can I ask you for a difficult favor?
