Mom, you don't have to see me off.
God, you only had to get up five minutes earlier.
- Are you wearing your thermal underwear? - I am.
- And breakfast? - I told you I ate my breakfast.
- You should have worn a padded coat today. - Bye, Mom.
Okay, see you. God, I'm so frazzled.
She looks so tiny, like a little kid in those sneakers.
I compliment myself for deciding to work
as a nurse again.
DAILY COMPLIMENTS
I'm so sleepy.
Did you not get much sleep?
I had this dream full of patients acting out, and a new patient to boot.
I worked a shift in my dreams.
God, I'm so tired.
- Hello, everyone. - What?
Good morning.
Ms. Jung!
You're finally back?
Yes. I'm sorry you guys had to deal with so much because of me.
How long has it been?
- We missed you to death! - Totally.
You should have texted us!
Aren't you all going to start your shift?
- Good morning. - Hi.
Let's work and save the greetings for later.
- Yes. - Yes, ma'am.
Let's talk later.
PSYCHIATRIC NURSE JUNG DA-EUN
Ms. Park Byeong-hui.
- She's an 18-year-old patient. - Okay.
She had trouble adjusting at school
and couldn't get along with her classmates.
Your BP is fine.
Hey.
When do I get food?
Byeong-hui, you should address her politely.
Ms. Jung, when do I get food?
The doctors will come to see you later. I'll make sure you get it before then.
Can't I eat right now?
- Sweetie, let's wait just a little, okay? - Ms. Song, I'll take your BP.
I'll let you rest.
Ms. Song, your BP is fine.
Are you happy you've been transferred to an open unit before discharge?
ROOM 521 MALE/40 KIM♪SIK
Don't go back into your shell before facing it head-on.
I want you to chin up and come to work starting tomorrow. All right?
Good morning.
Mr. Kim. How have you been?
I came back to work.
I'm happy for you.
I checked your charts and saw that you've developed insomnia.
How did you sleep last night?
I got some decent sleep, maybe because I've spent time here before.
Oh, that's great to hear.
I'll be checking your BP now.
No need to pull your sleeve up.
Hello, sir. It's been so long.
- What are you doing? - I'm checking Mr. Kim's blood pressure.
No, stop.
- Excuse me? - I'll get a different nurse to do it.
You took such a long sick leave
that I thought you would return with a remodeled face.
They say weight loss beats any plastic surgery.
Right, you look amazing.
I don't think I'll ever get prettier than this.
I just don't get sick.
Not getting sick is the greatest blessing of all.
That's true.
What exactly was wrong?
I'll fill you in later when everyone's present.
No need to tell me if it makes you uncomfortable.
Nah.
I'm getting coffee. What would you like?
On you?
Of course.
Two iced Americano, three hot Americano,
and I'll have the herbal…
Two chamomile teas.
Oh? Dr. Hwang.
You should stick to decaf teas.
Thank you.
How have you been, kid?
Good.
How are you feeling?
A lot better now. I'm also making sure to take my meds.
How does it feel to come to work after so long?
It's nice.
- But I feel a little unsettled. - Why's that?
I haven't told the others that I was admitted to a psychiatric unit.
But you know what? I'm going to come clean.
For now,
it's important not to create situations that add to your anxiety,
so do whatever you need if it gives you peace of mind.
Okay.
You can tell me, ma'am.
No, I'd like to tell them directly.
- Excuse me. - Yes, ma'am?
I'm Park Byeong-hui's guardian.
I'd like a different nurse, please.
I'm sorry?
Ma'am, why don't you calm down first?
- You think I can calm down right now? - Could you tell us what all this is about?
You know what this is about.
Nurse Jung Da-eun,
I heard she was a patient in a psychiatric ward recently!
What?
Silence does not make a lie,
but if you miss the right moment,
it becomes a lie.
DAILY DOSE OF SUNSHINE
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
The truth is that I was a patient at Hayan General Hospital all this time.
It was because I had a hard time dealing with Mr. Kim Seo-wan's passing.
And now?
How are you doing now? Did the hospital say you're okay?
They said as long as I keep taking my meds,
it shouldn't impede my daily life.
- All settled, then. - You should have told me.
I would have visited you or something, at least.
Wasn't Hayan General Hospital too far from your home?
You should have gotten treated here.
I'm sorry,
and thank you.
There.
Great job beating it.
Don't cry now.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Drink. That must have given you a good scare.
I'm sorry, Ms. Song.
This wasn't how I intended to let people know.
This is all on me.
I'm the one who told you to keep it to yourself.
I would have liked to keep it a secret forever, if possible.
Would you mind telling me why?
I know from firsthand experience.
The way people look at patients with mental illness,
their judgmental gazes…
I wanted to spare you the experience.
Ms. Song Ae-sin, the patient we have with schizophrenia in the open unit,
is my little sister.
As it turns out,
patients with schizophrenia are often seen as criminals in the making.
So what if you have a mental illness?
It's not like anyone chooses to be ill.
It's not like you committed a crime or harmed anyone,
so why do you have to keep walking on eggshells?
Other people may not get it,
but don't beat yourself up over a crime you didn't commit.
You were just sick. You didn't commit a crime.
It broke my heart when I realized Ae-sin might think the same way that you do.
I'm sorry, Ms. Song.
There it is again.
There you go again with the apology.
Didn't I tell you not to shy away?
Pull those shoulders back and stand tall while you work.
You did nothing wrong, Ms. Jung.
Others might not see it that way, but we nurses all get it.
Do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
Can I not take my meds?
I'm afraid you have to.
Here, I want you to swallow hard.
Now give me an "ahh."
That's so ridiculous.
Open wide.
Good job.
Ms. Jung.
Are you sure you're all right?
Is it okay for you to be working like this?
It is.
Well, I doubt that.
What's she saying?
I mean, I heard you were in a closed unit, not even an open unit.
Closed unit?
You don't have it worse than my child does, do you?
What's this about?
She's just had her meds, so she might start feeling drowsy,
but make sure she doesn't fall asleep.
She'll struggle at night if she sleeps right now.
Ms. Park, please attend our afternoon therapy session if you can.
So you're ignoring my question.
Is it true what you just said?
Yes.
Yeah, Mom?
The nurse here, I heard she was admitted to a psychiatric ward for depression.
Hey, it's that nurse, right?
Right. I knew she seemed a bit gloomy.
To hide something so important from us is unthinkable.
Shouldn't we file a complaint?
What would we even say? It's not like we know it for a fact.
It's true.
My brother was in Hayan General Hospital, and he saw her there as a patient.
She did seem fine though.
I feel like she might better understand her patients as someone who's been there.
Having cancer isn't a prerequisite for being a good oncologist.
Wouldn't it be better to entrust our loved one's care to a healthy person?
We're talking about our family.
Mr. Song Yu-chan,
it's been a while.
Have you been well?
I have.
But, Doctor,
when do you think I might be able to get off the meds?
Any reason to get off the meds?
I feel like I owe my recovery to the meds.
This would mean my panic disorder will return once I get off my meds.
You know how reassuring it is
to have someone hold your bike from behind when you first learn to ride?
Well, same with meds.
They just help correct your imbalance.
So, don't try so hard to get off the meds.
Just like one ends up riding a bike well without any extra hands,
you'll eventually be able to go about your daily routine without any medication.
So I'm trying to find a new job, but…
to be honest, I'm a little afraid.
- That panic attacks might return. - You're trying to find a new job.
Any particular reason why?
I feel inadequate as an individual.
So I want to put in the work to become a better version of myself.
But has anyone ever used certain words on you?
Words like "lacking" or "inadequate"?
No, I've never had that.
Well, they must have come from somewhere. Any ideas?
They came from me.
So, all this time, you've been telling yourself
things that you shouldn't say to others?
That's true.
I guess everyone's getting off work.
- Thank you. - Not at all.
Ms. Hong, thank you so much for taking care of that thing for me.
- No problem. - Good night.
- Thank you. - Good night.
- See you. - Thank you.
See you tomorrow, everyone.
Jesus, do they have to be that rude?
- Don't mind them. You did great today. - Thank you.
- Good job. - Thank you.
- Good work, everybody. - Yes, we sure did.
So, some fried chicken and beer?
Hey, what's up?
Hey, Jungda. Turn around.
What?
No, look this way.
All righty.
I wanted to buy you something tasty. Why here, of all places?
Didn't it ever occur to you
that people may eat different things based on their jobs?
So, you'd think these workplace cafeterias
would serve different food based on the profession, you know?
So, what's your takeaway on nurses? Anything different?
Nope, it's painfully predictable. So boring.
You really thought we'd eat different food?
We're people, just like you.
Good point.
How does it feel to be back at work?
I was afraid until I came into work, but now I'm here, I love it.
That's good to hear.
Oh, by the way,
I have a job interview in a few days.
Seriously? Oh my God, I'm so happy for you.
But…
I'm kind of scared.
What's there to be scared of?
Nothing's changed.
Taking time off doesn't make you a different person.
Whatever the interviewer says, don't be scared.
Just be your usual confident self.
Don't go into a shell.
Didn't see that coming from a hermit crab.
You're a bigger hermit crab now than I ever was.
What?
You little…
Whoa, what the… Hey, stop it!
Dude, what the heck are you doing?
- Seriously? - You told me to be my usual self.
Damn, you took it too far, grabbing three of these.
- No way. No. - Come on.
Did you end up moving in?
- Excuse me? - Did everyone else sign the consent form?
No, not yet.
I'm just throwing some stuff out, ma'am.
- I haven't even unpacked my things yet. - All right, bye.
This will be the last day you see my face.
I'm going to quit being a nurse anyway.
So much for not being a nurse. I guess you're going back to work.
Yes.
Mind if I ask you something?
Since you went back on your words and started work again,
do you also take back what you said about
not wanting to see me?
Hop on, you're going to be late.
What time bus will you get tomorrow?
Well, I'm not sure.
Make sure you get on at this time.
Shit! Ms. Park, take a look at this!
- What is it? - Our website's forum is blowing up.
UNSTABLE NURSE CARING FOR OUR KIDS?!
- This must be targeting Ms. Jung. - What?
IS THIS ABOUT NURSE JUNG?
SHE WAS IN THE CLOSED UNIT
HOW SCARY
Has Ms. Jung seen this yet?
No idea. I don't think she's here yet.
Have you checked our website forum?
Oh, the nurse in neuropsychiatry?
I heard she was in a psychiatric hospital.
Apparently, the patients' guardians are up in arms over it.
That's terrible. I feel bad for her.
Excuse me.
Oh, Dr. Dong. This is me.
- LISTEN, NURSE JUNG! - QUIT IF YOU HAVE ANY DECENCY!
- FIRE HER! - LIKE YOU'D LET A NUTTER CARE FOR YOUR KID
- Mom, that's the nurse. - She seems fine.
She was a patient at a psychiatric ward.
- Should we go to a different hospital? - Can she be a nurse?
Ms. Min.
Is it true that Ms. Jung was admitted to a psychiatric ward?
What was she in there for? Schizophrenia? Bipolar disorder?
You have to stay quiet while I take your BP.
Let's start over.
Stretch out both of your arms. You'll feel your chest open up.
Breathe.
Next, the cat pose.
Stretch your right leg backward.
Let's stretch those legs.
Your right leg…
Ms. Park, why don't we give this a go?
Hey, is that the nurse? The one who was admitted to a psychiatric ward.
…drop down your leg…
She might have it worse than I do.
Pull it in slightly…
- Should I ask her what meds she's on? - Yup.
Let's move on to the forward bending pose.
Next pose. Stretch those legs out and bend forward.
…while exhaling…
Let me help you out.
Okay.
- Ms. Hong, I can't reach that far. - You're doing great.
Wait, Ms. Hong…
- Exhale! You can do it. Stretch! - Ouch! My stomach! Ow!
- Hello. - Oh, hello.
All right, you did great.
I'm sorry, Ms. Jung.
Sorry?
This is all because of my brother…
Oh, don't worry about it.
I just told him about it because I was glad to run into you, and…
Mr. Kim,
remember what I told you last time?
Stop taking the blame for everything.
Right.
All done?
You really don't have to do this for me, Mr. Yoon.
I'm fine.
Well, doing this eases my mind.
Ms. Lee Won-mi, aged 30, was admitted for an eating disorder.
Currently, she is 158 centimeters tall and weighs 38.5 kilograms.
Her BMI is 14, which is severely...
I'm sorry. Let's take a break.
Hello. What can I do for the PR team?
Hello, Dr. Im. I'm sorry to bother you when you must be busy.
It's about a nurse named Jung Da-eun.
Thanks to her, our website forum's a mess.
Shouldn't you be talking to the nursing staff? Why did you call me?
Yes, well, we did call Head Nurse Song first.
But you know how she is.
She hung up straight away, saying it was ridiculous.
Now she won't answer my calls.
I'm sure she had every reason to do so.
Ms. Song tends to be right about these things.
But shouldn't we still work to fix this situation?
How about I submit a written statement from her doctor
at Hayan General Hospital stating she made a full recovery?
Then she won't have any problems at work.
You know I'm not talking about that.
This is also about the hospital's image in the public eye.
I'm telling you what the whole PR team agreed on.
I'll have to see what our team thinks about this.
Good thing the doctors are all here with me.
KIM OK-TAE, HEAD OF PR
So, you'd like me to dismiss Nurse Jung Da-eun, despite the fact
she can get a doctor's note assuring her full recovery,
all so that she may not besmirch our hospital's good name.
Well, is that the gist of it?
What?
Wait, gosh. That's not what I…
Then, please at least help me persuade Ms. Song.
I don't know. I doubt Ms. Song would listen to me.
Dr. Hwang, would you like to bring this up with Ms. Song?
Dear God, no. I'm too terrified to even make eye contact with her.
Dr. Cha?
I don't even dare squeak.
Me?
Oh God, I wouldn't dare. I just…
Well, that's the gist of our collective opinion.
Is there more to talk about?
Well, I get it.
- Right, then, let's resume. - Yes, sir.
Ms. Park.
Oh, thank you.
My kid is complaining of stomach pains. Will you take a look?
Just a moment.
- I'll man the station. You go, Ms. Jung. - Okay.
No, not Ms. Jung Da-eun. I'd like you to take a look, Ms. Park.
I'm sorry, ma'am,
but Ms. Jung is the nurse in charge of Ms. Park Byeong-hui.
Of course I know that.
Gosh, you're all being so frustrating.
I requested a different nurse, and we still have the same one.
Excuse me, ma'am, hospitals have rules and protocols.
I'd like to ask for your understanding.
You have kids, right?
Would you be okay with having someone sick here caring for your kids?
How could you entrust your sick child to a sick person?
If this is how it's going to be, I'll have to find a different hospital.
Yes, I have kids.
And in my case,
I'd be grateful to have a nurse like that caring for my kids.
What?
Someone who has been sick is bound to understand another sick person best.
But if this makes you so uncomfortable, feel free to look for another hospital.
Should I process the discharge?
Wow, it's like talking to a wall.
Ms. Park.
Don't pay it any mind. Get back to work.
Yes, ma'am.
DOESN'T THIS PUT ALL PATIENTS AT RISK, NOT JUST PSYCHIATRY PATIENTS?
ALARM: TIME TO TAKE MEDS
COMPLIMENT DIARY
I compliment myself
for standing my ground and not retreating into a shell today.
I will move out as soon as I get my own place.
Does getting off work ever excite you?
You see,
I get really excited whenever that time of the day approaches,
knowing that I'll see you once I get home.
It makes me happy.
Thank you for the meal.
I get excited the moment I leave for work.
The thought of coming here after work excites me.
I was going to leave because I felt I was intruding.
But I think I'll stay.
Sorry or not,
I'd like to follow my heart.
Works for me.
Okay, firstly, we've established that thoughts of me excite you.
Now, other than me, what else excites you, Ms. Min?
This is going to sound really silly,
but nothing has ever excited me before.
Seriously? Never?
I mean, well, there's payday, for instance.
Or a movie you've been looking forward to being released.
Oh, birthdays?
Or meeting a friend for the first time in a while, stuff like that.
I wish every day of your life was filled with such daily excitement.
Sorry, coming through.
Dr. Dong.
- Here you go. - No. You go ahead.
- Please sit. I was holding it for you. - But… Gosh…
Sorry about that. So sorry.
Did you get on the bus one stop before this one on purpose?
This only worked because you came right on time.
I was worried it might not work out.
You're always standing at the hospital.
You should get to sit comfortably, even if only on the way to work.
Stop it at once!
The director of Myungshin University Medical Center must apologize.
Apologize!
The hospital should fire Nurse Jung Da-eun!
Fire her!
How can a mentally ill nurse keep...
-A MENTALLY ILL NURSE WON'T CURE BUT KILL -THIS HOSPITAL IS MENTAL
WE WANT A NURSE WITHOUT A HISTORY OF MENTAL ILLNESS!!!
Apologize!
Nurse Jung Da-eun. Resign right away!
Resign!
Are you all right, Ms. Jung?
All right with what?
Didn't you see? How…
people were picketing in front of the hospital?
Well, it's a bit frustrating,
but there's nothing I can do about it except work even harder.
Yeah, you're right. Let's work. Work!
I'll go ahead and get ready for the shift change. Take your time.
I won't take long.
Ms. Park, you have a blood test today. I need to take some blood.
What do you think you're doing?
Ms. Park needs to have a blood test.
Forget about that. Stop touching my child, and call a different nurse, please.
Ms. Park Byeong-hui is my patient.
I'll be drawing her blood.
I told you to stop.
Ma'am, please stop. It's dangerous.
No, you stop.
Don't you think you're being selfish?
I told you to stop!
Mom…
Oh God! Byeong-hui!
Ms. Park, please don't move. It's going to hurt if you move.
Nurse!
- Nurse! - Let me take care of that, just a second.
Please let me know right away if anything feels uncomfortable.
Okay.
I'll get you a new hospital gown and a blanket right away.
Ma'am.
- Everything okay? - What?
Oh, my scrubs? It's fine.
I don't have a spare, so I'll have to keep these on for the day.
I didn't mean your scrubs.
Well, to be honest, I'm not okay.
But it's nothing I can't handle.
Can't you just quit being a nurse?
Because of a patient, you even went through depression.
You've overcome such hardships and returned to care for the patients,
and this is what you get?
I just don't understand why you're putting up with
these ridiculous situations.
Why did you choose to be a nurse?
I didn't exactly jump into this profession because of my altruism.
I had no noble aspirations or anything like that.
But you know how there's stuff in life that you just grow to enjoy?
Things you develop an affinity for.
Being a nurse is like that for me.
The more I work, the more excited I get.
The more I learn, the more I want to learn.
That's why I want to be a better nurse.
I may be lacking in many ways right now,
but I believe all these hurdles are helping me grow.
And that's why I'm enduring this.
Na-ra's coming back to Korea today,
so we're getting together. Do you want to come?
SORRY, I CAN'T
SURE, SEE YOU LATER!
Gosh, I'm hungry.
Shall we dig in?
- Looks so good. - Enjoy your meals.
- Hello. - Hello.
You didn't do anything wrong.
So don't let them get to you.
Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you for the meal.
- Hey. - Oh? Doctor.
- This guy got decked. - What?
Boy, I think something got in my eye.
He argued with a picketer and got whacked. Ouch!
- Zip it! - Doctor, why did you do that?
I just wanted to, that's all.
Let me take a look.
- Your... - No, it's fine. I'm good.
Let me just take another look.
- I'm fine. Please eat some more. - Behind you…
Bye.
But…
- Sorry. - Come here, you.
SOFT-BOILED EGGS: RUB YOUR EYE WITH IT, SHOULD HELP WITH A BLACK EYE
Dude, you sure you can treat your patients with that eye?
- I think Ms. Jung left this for me. - What is it?
Dude, wait a sec.
Aren't you supposed to use raw eggs?
Hard-boiled eggs or raw eggs, it doesn't matter, dude.
It's soft-boiled though.
Soft-boiled ones work as well. Look it up.
She's here.
You're here just in time, ma'am.
How can I help you all?
We have something to talk to you about.
Let me cut to the chase.
Ms. Jung Da-eun.
Are you going to keep letting her work?
- Yes. - Unbelievable.
I'm sorry?
Wow, seriously?
Whatever. Just let us meet with the hospital administrators.
STAFF-GUARDIAN MEETING
- That's not the issue now. - Are they even coming?
Yes, they're on their way.
- They're coming. Yes, this way. - Please sit on the right.
You made it. Hello.
Let's make sure of it this time.
If it's true, we shouldn't…
Yes, they'll be here. Oh…
Are they finally here?
Wow, walking in like a champ.
We're gathered here today
to coordinate guardians' opinions and the hospital's position
to reach an amicable agreement.
Guardians, will you share what your thoughts are?
We have one thing to say.
We can't let a sick person care for our sick family.
- Yup. - That's right.
This concerns our parents, children, and siblings.
It wouldn't be right for us to do nothing, would it?
- So true. - That's right.
This shouldn't be allowed.
We'd like to hear it from you, Ms. Jung.
Were you in Hayan General Hospital's closed unit due to depression?
That's right, I was.
- It's true. See? - So it was true.
And are you fully cured?
No, I've been on medication ever since my discharge.
What did I say?
With depression, you never know when she might relapse.
Isn't there a risk she may end up harming the patients?
- She's right. - That's so true.
It seems selfish that she wants to function in a society
when she's debilitated.
Right, we totally agree.
- Right. - The hospital should take action.
Ms. Jung Da-eun.
Anything you would like to add?
I…
I will give a statement as the head nurse.
Ms. Byeong-hui's mother.
Selfish of someone so debilitated to want to go to work, was it?
That's right.
Then I guess Ms. Park should also cower at home all her life.
That's not what I meant.
Not to mention Mr. Kim Sung-sik. I guess he should never get a job.
So all of our patients should stay holed up in their houses
and not return to society. Am I right?
Hey, how can you say that?
- This is different! - What's wrong?
Did hearing me speak ill of your family hurt your feelings?
Did it break your hearts?
But everything you've just said
is what the patients will hear when they're out of the hospital.
"Why let someone that's sick come into work?"
How many times do I have to tell you this?
Do it again.
"What if they mess up an important project?"
"Why let a sick kid attend a school for regular kids?"
"Their parents are being selfish."
Did you understand what we told you? Yes?
Byeong-hui, you wanted to be a pilot, right?
Then study a bit harder.
Put your back into it.
Sure, others may not get it,
but shouldn't we know better than to say these things to each other?
You've all been through it.
"Why did it have to be my child?"
"Why did it have to be my family?"
Okay, Ae-sin. I won't wash your hair.
"Why did it have to be me?"
By the way,
is Da-eun going back to work?
You know what I mean.
Who'd want to hire a girl with a history of mental illness as a nurse?
It could affect her work, and her colleagues won't like it either.
That's what mental illness is like.
It's an unpredictable disorder
that can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Don't be so sure it won't strike you one day.
Are you all going to give up?
We should get back to picketing!
- We should. - Right.
Certainly.
Let's stop here.
Count me out, please.
You were more vocal about this than anyone else here. You want out?
Yes.
Imagining my child hearing those words breaks my heart.
So much so that I can't keep doing this.
I'm sorry, everyone.
Ma'am.
Ma'am!
- Jeez. - What?
Hey.
I'm going to the bathroom.
I'm out too.
It's been so long, Deul-re. How come we haven't seen you in so long?
She's a nurse at a university hospital.
She must be neck-deep in work.
Well, you are the most successful out of all of us.
Where's Na-ra?
She said she was almost here.
There she is, Na-ra.
Hey, guys.
Min Deul-re, it's so nice to see you.
It's been ages since you two met up.
Yeah, about three or four years?
Gosh, you should have reached out.
You barely visit Korea once a year. You should be calling her.
I guess so.
Deul-re, do you know what Na-ra does for a living?
Nope. What kind of work do you do?
I go on cruise ships.
- Cruise ships? - Yup.
She travels on a cruise ship all year long.
God, it's not traveling, okay? It's work.
I have to tend to the guests,
not to mention sing and dance.
Why sing and dance?
We perform when the guests board and leave.
- You guys want to see it? - Show us.
Here, check this out.
See that? There, look.
- You're in the center? - Yup.
You look so cool.
- You look so pretty. - Right?
- You're such a good dancer. - I know.
- We go this way. - Right.
- Get home safe. Bye. - Okay, see you.
Which way are you going, Deul-re?
This way. You?
I have a meeting with my cruise colleagues nearby.
Want to tag along?
- Let's drink until we drop. - Kwon Na-ra is here!
- Hey! - Whoa.
Up high!
What took you so long?
Whoa, a nurse at a university hospital.
Nice to meet you.
Let's go!
Come on!
Take it up a notch!
Over here! There's soju here!
Nice to meet you.
So nice to meet you.
Don't be shy!
Hell yeah!
Hello, my name is Song Yu-chan.
The reason I applied to your company…
- Should I say motive? - Practicing for your interview?
What are you doing here?
Here.
You have terrible taste.
Dude, that's the most popular one out there, okay?
Let me see that.
Whoa, no take-backsies.
You suck at tying your tie, after all.
You couldn't tie it in high school, so I always had to do it for you.
I shouldn't have to tie your tie for you like this at this age.
Jeez, you toot your own horn so much over that tie.
Then you try it. I know you can't.
Here.
Just get hired.
If you do, big sis here will grant you a wish.
Hey.
You should be more careful about offering to grant wishes like that.
I might ask for something ridiculous.
What? Something ridiculous? Like what?
Well, I do have this one outrageous wish.
And what's this outrageous wish of yours?
Just treat me to a meal.
God, you call that outrageous?
- At the Shilla Hotel buffet. - You snake!
I told you it was outrageous, didn't I?
- Wow, Shilla Hotel? Wow! - You're buying, right?
- You're insane. - What? You wanted me to tell you.
The director of the Medical Center must fire Nurse Jung Da-eun!
Fire her!
Jung Da-eun should resign right away!
Resign!
We can't let another patient treat our children!
- We can't… - Everyone, please stop now.
Excuse me?
The hospital staff has concluded
that Ms. Jung will have no issues doing her job.
We've officially cleared her. That is our official stance.
Forget about that. Let us meet with the hospital director.
Sure.
The hospital director told me that if guardians still have complaints,
we should offer to help you with moving to a different hospital.
It's been taken care of.
I'll deliver the message to Dr. Dong Go-yun.
- Mr. Kim. - Yes?
Would you say it's conventionally acceptable
for a second-year fellow to come to speak to the hospital director?
Conventionally, I'd have to say not.
Right?
It's one or the other.
He's either going to cause big trouble
or make it big.
Whoa, wait.
Sorry. I'm so sorry, sir.
Hello, Director.
Who might you be?
Oh, well…
Right, over there.
Oh, Dr. Dong Go-yun from colorectal surgery?
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry, sir, but could you give me five minutes of your time?
I'm afraid not. I have a prior engagement.
Then would you mind giving me a ride to that bus station over there, sir?
Thank you, sir.
Dr. Dong Go-yun.
Ah, yes. Yes, Director?
- Let me ask you a question. - Sure.
You're a colorectal surgeon. Why stick your neck out for a psychiatric nurse?
I'm just afraid our hospital may end up losing an amazing nurse, sir.
Is that all?
Well, the thing is…
I'm actually smitten with her.
MYUNGSHIN UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
The patients' guardians have promised to stop the protests now.
In return for taking down the posts,
we agreed to let them continue being treated at our hospital.
That's good to hear.
The director insisted that I let you know.
The director wanted me to…
Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Please check those posts on the forum one last time.
Right, I will.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
My God, the man just won't stop.
Ms. Jung.
Getting off work so late?
Yes, that's right.
Is this a coincidence?
Well… nope.
Were you waiting for me?
I was.
Why?
Because I've been missing you.
Shall we go, then?
Did you wait long?
I saw five buses pass by.
It must have been cold.
It wasn't.
Hyo-sin.
Why haven't you unpacked?
I've been busy.
I'm going to unpack soon.
Let's do the home tour later.
Leave your things…
and come with me.
- Oh, hello. - Hello, President.
What brings you here today?
I wanted to introduce my sister to you.
Say hello, Ae-sin.
Hello.
I'm Song Ae-sin.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
I thought we should say hello in person as neighbors.
Right.
- I hope we can be good neighbors. - Yeah.
Let's go.
I'll…
just stay home all the time.
I'll stay off the playground,
I won't go near the daycare center…
and I'll only stay at home.
So, please,
let me live here with my sister.
Please.
All right.
NEW RECRUIT INTERVIEWEE 254 SONG YU-CHAN
Please come in, interviewees number 241 to number 245.
Please come forward.
Interviewee number 254, Mr. Song Yu-chan.
Is he not here yet?
Mr. Song Yu-chan.
Interviewee number 254, Mr. Song Yu-chan!
There is only one way to get rid of anxiety.
Finding one's own safety mechanism, someone you can let in on your pain
and go to for help.
Someone who can be there for you when you ask.
Just because I get a stain on my scrubs doesn't mean they're not scrubs anymore.
Just like how having been a patient on a psychiatric ward
doesn't mean that I'm no longer a nurse.
Drink up.
Stains called prejudice and stigma…
Take a look at this.
Cute, no?
Put this over there for me.
Interviewee number 254, Mr. Song Yu-chan.
Well, if he's not here, I'll call the next...
I'm here!
I'm here.
I'm Song Yu-chan.
Even the big and small stains you didn't know you had…
Mr. Song Yu-chan.
I see you wrote that you have panic disorder.
Yes.
It's gotten a lot better, but I'm still taking medication for it.
Any particular reason for you to mention your panic disorder?
It was like spending a long time
suffering in a cave by myself,
but that experience taught me to value the things I hold dear.
Even the stains you didn't know were stains
because they were hidden by scars…
Ms. Min.
- Dr. Hwang. - Yes?
I don't want to be a nurse anymore.
This job has never excited me, not once.
Even the stains that I got from spilling water on myself…
I'm not the same person I was.
- You are. You can begin to shine again. - You make it sound so easy.
Mom…
Mom, did you tell her
that I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital?
Why did you do that? I'll be leaving soon anyway!
- Hey. - What are you doing?
Put me down!
Put these on.
And this helmet too.
Let's wash them all away and let them all go.
Good morning. What are you up to, Da-eun?
I just did my laundry. Are you free today?
For a nice and fluffy tomorrow…
and in wait for the spotless morning that's sure to come someday.
