- Boo! - Oh my God!
How did the surgery go?
Oh, that? It went well.
- Did you have breakfast? - Yep.
What did you have?
What my mom made for me.
Braised tofu?
- Sounds good. - Whatever.
Think anyone saw us?
Probably not.
Are you sure no one saw us?
Habits sure can catch you unaware.
Let's be careful from now on.
Okay.
Heard you worked overtime last night. You must be tired.
Not bad.
Mr. Yoon! Where are you, Mr. Yoon?
- Ms. Byeong-hui tried to harm herself. - What?
- Get back to your rooms, everyone. - I want to leave!
Please go back to your rooms.
- Please make way. - Easy, Ms. Park.
- Please calm down. - I've got her.
Come on, let's move.
There's nothing to see here.
I'll stop the bleeding.
It's okay. Easy now.
Ms. Park, we'll be moving you to the intensive care unit now.
Get up, please.
Let's go.
Careful.
DAILY DOSE OF SUNSHINE
She will require intensive observation for a while.
I think it will be better if she gets treated in the closed unit for now.
I'm afraid that the closed unit has stricter rules
about personal belongings than the open unit.
I'm sure there are good reasons for it.
Bathroom use may be a bit of a hassle,
but other than that, it's pretty much the same as the open unit.
Don't worry too much, ma'am. I'm sure she'll get adjusted in no time.
All I'm worried about is how Byeong-hui must feel.
She thinks we're just here for some tests.
Will her stay here take much longer?
She will be furious.
I'll make sure to have a nice chat with Byeong-hui about it.
Byeong-hui can't do without that.
This also has a risk of shattering,
so I'm afraid we'll have to hold on to this for the time being.
Ms. Jung.
Yes.
I'm sorry about what I did.
I was selfish, only thinking about my child.
Ma'am. It's okay. Please don't beat yourself up over it.
Oh, has Ms. Park been moved to the closed unit?
She has.
But will taking away patients' belongings like this
prevent them from harming themselves?
Honestly, it's not likely.
That's why it's a tough illness to deal with.
I only learned after joining the psychiatric unit
that so many people are admitted for self-inflicted harm.
Well, there was a lot to begin with,
but I feel the number has shot up, as of late, for some reason.
I'm sure there are many more hiding out there.
Why do you think they harm themselves?
The truth is
that self-harm is a cry for help, not an actual attempt at one's own life.
Or some may do it for attention.
And others consider themselves useless,
so they harm themselves as punishment.
There seem to be many cases where it starts in childhood,
like Byeong-hui.
The younger someone starts to feel pressure or stress,
the higher the chance of self-harm.
They don't know how to relieve stress or anxiety properly.
What do you think?
Not much different from the open unit, right?
But when am I getting tested?
Soon. We'll start once the doctors say so.
Then give me my tablet.
You're not allowed to use a tablet anymore.
- Why's that? - Those are the rules here.
Then I want to go back.
Wait.
There are a lot of fun things here too.
I don't want them!
Give me back my tablet!
I'll get you some books. We also have comic books, you know.
Why won't you give me what I ask for?
I'll kill myself if you don't give it to me.
Which book would you like?
This is why your patient died.
You're ignoring everything I say!
Depression is just like fickle weather.
On some days, it seems there's no end to it,
but on others, you feel nothing but endless optimism.
- Ms. Jung. - Hey.
I'm going to quit being a nurse.
What?
Why?
Did something happen at home?
Or…
- Are you getting married? - What?
You're marrying Dr. Hwang, aren't you?
Oh gosh, no.
No?
Really?
I've…
never been happy
working as a nurse, not even once.
Really?
But wouldn't it feel like a waste to quit now?
I never started this job because I wanted to be a nurse.
I wanted stability over anything else. That's all.
A job that could get me loan approvals.
And nursing fit the bill.
Well, no one really starts out with a grand sense of duty.
Who knows? You might grow to like it if you keep going.
I don't think my feelings will change,
even in the long run.
Have you spoken to Ms. Song about it?
I'm sure she'll beg you to stay if she hears about this.
No,
I'm telling you before anyone else.
I wanted to, for some reason.
RESIGNATION
I mean, Ms. Song,
we're already short-staffed as it is.
And this is Ms. Min we're talking about.
How could you just accept her resignation?
Whoa, you're scaring me.
I did try to talk her out of it.
If you truly did your part, she wouldn't be quitting.
You sure you tried hard enough?
Look, I did the best I...
Hey, is this really the way to speak to your senior?
I'm sorry.
I told her the downsides of quitting and that she'll regret certain things,
not to mention her future career, salary, and other people's views will change
if she returns.
You should have been more direct and scared her into staying...
As far as lecturing goes, that's the most you can do.
After that, it's up to them.
I'll have a beer, please.
You can press this thing.
- Please order a beer for us. - You don't even know how to use this.
Let's go slay that fire dragon together next time.
- Something happened today, right? - Nope.
Oh, come on.
Actually, we have a patient who self-harms in the unit.
Seeing her reminded me of Mr. Kim Seo-wan.
I wanted us to only talk about good things,
but we always end up getting into the depressing stuff.
I heard from Yeo-hwan
that how you manage mental illness is critically important.
That it's like a marathon, not a sprint.
If you feel depressed, tell me all about how you feel.
I don't want to be someone who offers you an umbrella when you're stood in the rain.
I'd rather be someone who stands in the rain with you.
Okay.
Da-eun, time to eat.
- Da-eun. - Yeah?
Come and eat.
Oh, okay.
The chili paste made it sweet enough, so adding sugar turned out to be overkill.
What is it? Don't feel like eating?
Nah.
I should still eat.
It's better to stay dry together than it is to get soaked together.
- So nice to meet you. - Cheers.
Thank you.
- Yeo-hwan. - Yes.
Did you know Deul-re's got the soul of a dancer?
The soul of a dancer?
Well, we saw a musical before coming here to meet you,
and her shoulders were shimmying the whole time.
Did you not dislocate your shoulders?
It's because it was my first time.
First time watching a musical?
God, that's unbelievable.
From now on, I'll take her to so many that she'll grow tired of them.
You're one to talk.
You were practically one of the actors.
I guess that's an occupational habit.
Oh, didn't you say you were a cruise attendant?
She says cruise attendants sing and dance as passengers disembark.
They do farewell performances, practice singing and dancing together,
and go sightseeing in each country they visit.
- Right? - You sound like a cruise attendant.
I sure learned a lot about you today.
That you love to dance, and what you like.
What I like?
You seemed really excited to talk about the cruise.
Curiosity, I guess. It sounds like they live in a different world.
Why is it a different world?
Well, you can do anything you'd like now.
Man, Na-ra is so much fun.
Oh God, it's freezing. So cold. Oh God, it's so cold.
Ma'am.
Oh my, Dr. Dong Go-yun.
Hello.
Well…
- I'll take that, ma'am. - Oh my, no.
- No, give it to me, please. - It's really fine.
No, I can do it. Gosh, I'm really okay with it though.
- You got up so early this morning. - Oh, yes.
I'm a morning person, so I get up early.
But what brings you here?
Da-eun said she would take morning walks starting today.
- So I told her I'd like to join her. - Oh, I see.
Is she up yet?
Oh, yes, of course.
She's already awake.
I just got out of bed, so…
If you'll wait just a bit…
Da-eun, Da...
Jeez, I knew it.
- Da-eun. - Oh God…
- Da-eun, get up. - Why?
Didn't you tell Dr. Dong you'd go on walks with him in the morning?
Oh! You're right!
How could you forget something like that?
- Oh God, ouch. - Oh goodness.
- No, I overslept. - Hurry up.
- Mom, I'm leaving now. - Gosh, I went out looking like this.
Hey, where do you think you're going?
- What is wrong with you? - Wait, my socks…
Isn't she up yet?
Dr. Dong.
- Did you sleep well? - I did.
Have fun, sweetie.
- Bye, Mom. See you later. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Right.
The sun always feels so different in the morning.
It's like a rapid charger.
It helps me go from 0% to a full charge in no time, so to speak.
To me, you're a rapid charger, Da-eun.
What?
Sheesh, stop.
Why should I?
- Stop it already. - Gosh.
- I'm set, really. - Now, let me take a look.
There. Yes, great! All set.
- Godspeed, son. - Good luck out there!
That's enough. Just go inside.
You guys are so embarrassing.
- Come on! Go! - Go get 'em.
Go.
Hey, Song Yu-chan. Where are you off to so early?
To work, of course.
Already?
My office is far away. But what are you two up to?
We're on a morning walk.
What for?
Morning walks have been known to affect melatonin, the sleeping hormone.
A morning stroll is the best thing for a good night's rest.
Is that so?
- I suppose today will be the last day? - The last day of what?
You see, she's bad at keeping her resolutions. I'd give her three days.
No, half a day, tops. She's got the willpower of...
- Dude! - You know I'm right.
Shut the hell up unless you want to go to work with a nosebleed.
Whoa! Did you hear her curse?
- I so did not! - Yes, she totally did.
Cursing over nothing.
Fine, I get it.
Whatever! Let me take a photo of you two to commemorate this.
- Really? - Shall we?
- All right. - Okay, then.
One, two.
All right.
That's a great shot.
Shame we'll never see this again.
- What was that? Hey! - See you!
- That little… - I can't even!
This feels so nice.
UNCONTROLLED CALLER
Check this out.
- It turned out nice, right? - It did.
Looking good, mayfly couple.
- Still at it? - Mayfly?
The mayfly part is unimportant.
Good luck on your first day of work. Don't be intimidated.
Isn't Ms. Park getting her IQ test today?
Yes, a full battery test is scheduled with a clinical psychologist.
Assist as well as you can.
- Ms. Min, check on Ms. Han's discharge. - Yes.
- A new patient with bipolar arrives today. - Yes, ma'am.
Good luck, everyone.
- Thank you. - Good luck!
Gosh, it's so hard to not be an overbearing boomer.
I give you the words,
and you just explain the meanings of those words.
"To be proud."
Becoming a pilot.
"To start."
"To start playing a game."
Ma'am, about Byeong-hui's test…
"To avoid."
Would you mind if I asked why you wanted her to take it?
Byeong-hui was quite slow when she was little,
slow at learning how to speak,
and she seemed to have issues getting along with her friends.
Byeong-hui.
You can't go to Aerospace University with your scores. Rewrite this.
I said you can't attend this school.
Do it over.
COLLEGES AND MAJORS OF CHOICE
Ma'am, here's the homework.
Yup, good work.
Hey, class president. Come over here.
Make sure Byeong-hui understands
why she can't attend this school.
Tell her to pick different colleges to apply to.
- You won't be accepted with your grades. - Why can't I go?
Becoming a pilot is my dream.
Dreaming about it won't make it happen.
So pick colleges that you can realistically get into.
Explain away, she'll never get it.
Hey, write down the word "pilot" in English.
F, I… What comes next?
Did you just say F? Freaking hilarious.
Then
how about "airplane"?
Write it down, Dumb-hui.
She doesn't know?
And she wants to be a pilot!
- God, this is hilarious. - Hey!
Can you write it in Korean?
- She'd know how to write it in Korean. - I'll bet she doesn't.
Why shouldn't I do anything I want?
Why say no to everything I want?
Holy crap! What a psycho.
- What do you think you're doing? - Give it here!
Why does everyone keep saying I'm wrong?
Why won't anyone listen to me?
Why won't you let me do anything? Why?
Good morning.
I'd like to introduce someone.
This is Song Yu-chan, who just joined our company as an experienced employee.
This is a manager from our most important client firm.
Oh, yes. Hello, ma'am.
What? Do you two know each other?
Of course we do. He used to work at our company.
So, you moved to this company?
If you were planning on working again, you could've reapplied to our company.
Well, the thing is…
I wanted to work in a new environment.
Is that so?
Do you know what Mr. Song's nickname was when he worked for us?
- What was it? - It was "Toll Tag."
Toll Tag?
His reports were always approved, and he handled every task perfectly.
And he never said no to anything, unlike most young people nowadays.
We picked the right person.
Wow, you're one lucky man.
You'll be looking at a promotion.
Really, now?
- Mr. Song. - Yes, sir.
I have to send the director a report today. Can you take a quick look?
It's nothing hard. Just look it over to see if anything seems off about it.
Come on, do this one for me.
TAKE AS NEEDED
What's up?
You gave up your precious lunch hour to visit me? Why?
Actually, I want to discuss something with you and get some advice.
I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd hear you say that.
You never share your thoughts. Like, ever.
- I don't? - No.
You do know that your nickname was "Cyborg," right?
So that's how the other guys saw me.
Yup.
So, what do you want to talk about and get advice on?
I want to work on a cruise ship like you.
We have the IQ test results for Ms. Park, ma'am.
Ms. Park scored seventy-one.
The score means she has borderline intellectual functioning.
"Borderline"?
Scores below 70 indicate intellectual disability,
and 90 or above is considered average.
Those who score between 70 and 84
are considered to have borderline intellectual functioning.
Ms. Park is among them.
Dr. Im, could you run the test again?
This borderline thing is a little vague...
I'm sure the score seems a little too low for you.
But the score doesn't hold much meaning.
With the proper education, kids with the condition
can close the gap with the average range at any time.
Still, can't you just test her one more time, please?
I would really appreciate it.
You said I only had to take the test once!
Why are you telling me to take it again?!
You're just like everyone else.
Why does everyone say that whatever I do is wrong?!
Just take the test again!
No.
I said no!
Byeong-hui, oh gosh…
- Let go! - Ma'am.
Mr. Yoon!
Byeong-hui, wait. Don't do it.
Byeong-hui!
Byeong-hui, calm down. It's okay.
So, Ms. Park tried to hurt herself again?
Yeah, I think she's been butting heads with her mom since she took the IQ test.
Why don't you move her to an observation room?
Is that the right approach?
Sure, we'd be able to stop her from harming herself.
But what about after she is out?
Things might not get any better. They'd just repeat over and over.
That's true.
Can you check this for me?
Sure.
Ms. Min. Can I borrow this?
- Hey, what are you doing? - Just give me a second.
It hurts, right?
It stings, right?
When you feel like self-harming, flick this rubber band.
If you run out, I'll get you as many as you'd like.
Gosh, you did great, Ms. Jung.
Keeping patients from self-harming is nearly impossible.
That's why the focus shouldn't be on preventing them from self-harming
but on switching out their tools with dull ones.
It's crucial that we help them understand that there are other options
besides self-harm.
So, will Byeong-hui get better?
With how much effort you're putting into helping her, she'd better.
I sure hope so.
Want me to come with you?
I'm not a child.
I'll go by myself.
Just this once, please?
Can't I come with you and act as your guardian?
Stay right here. I'll be right back.
Stay.
So, like I told you before…
My friend wanted a little tour.
She applied for a staff position on our cruise.
Seriously? No way.
I'm sorry to intrude on your rehearsal.
No, not at all.
The passengers usually dance with us at the end.
All right!
That was great, yup.
Yo, Song Yu-chan.
Hey, Go-yun.
Coming home or going to work?
I'm coming home, but I have to go straight back.
Wait, they're making a new recruit work this hard?
I know, right?
- Hey, come on. - What?
Da-eun.
Da-eun, wake up.
Mom, I'm too sleepy.
Dr. Dong is waiting for you.
You take my place, just for the day.
- Get up, girl. - Mom…
Hurry up and get up. Go. Get lost.
No, wait!
Let's do it tomorrow.
Right, I just need to work out twice as hard tomorrow, yup.
Let's go on our morning walk.
Oh God, no…
Careful.
Ready or not, rock paper scissors!
- Just one more time. - No can do. Nope.
- Just one more. - I said no.
He must have been tired.
Figures.
He has to see his patients,
and he also said he needed to work on some research paper or whatever.
Goodness, that's a lot.
Mom!
Smells amazing, ma'am.
You don't need to come out. Good day, ma'am.
Dr. Dong?
Yes, ma'am.
Do you have a moment?
I really appreciate all you're doing for my Da-eun.
Please don't mention it.
I'm only doing it because I enjoy it so much.
I'm sure it's been the same for Da-eun,
but I also feel like I've been living on thin ice.
My heart sinks every time
I see her face go blank or when she seems depressed.
Whenever we hear about someone's death or suicide
while watching TV together,
I can't help but steal a glance in her direction.
Then at night, I worry she might be tossing and turning in bed again,
so I sneak a peek into her room to make sure that she's sleeping soundly.
Only then do I feel like the day has passed peacefully.
I can imagine why.
You're the closest person to her, after all.
I totally understand.
But now, I'm rather relieved.
Whenever I see my Da-eun with you,
she smiles and looks so happy.
That is why
I'd like to leave her in your care.
Ma'am.
Thank you.
- Gosh, I should be the one thanking you. - God, no.
Thanks to you,
I think I can…
pass on peacefully.
Ma'am, are you unwell?
This test is called matrix reasoning.
Choose the picture from the choices below that best suits the empty square.
Number four.
Yes, come in.
What is Ms. Park's score this time?
Better than last time. Seventy-five.
That's good, I guess.
PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION REPORT
Why couldn't it have been a little higher?
She won't be happy with this score either.
She might have wished that they were lower, not higher.
I told you last time, didn't I?
That's how you score lower.
You always said I should answer every question.
Why are you saying otherwise now?
That's why I specifically asked you not to answer them.
I need good grades to become a pilot.
A girl I share a room with told me so.
That's why I solved all the problems.
Byeong-hui, you…
Seventy-five this time.
Seventy-one last time.
All she needs is a 69.
It's just a two-point difference.
With two points less, she could've gained admission to a special needs school.
This was about admission to a special needs school?
One.
Two.
Three.
I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm a little slow at calculations.
Please give me a second.
Right, yes, of course.
One, two.
- Three. - Three.
- Four. - Four.
Five.
Six.
I thought Byeong-hui might become ordinary
if she hung out and studied with ordinary children.
But I eventually realized
that she would need to work much harder to be able to go to college,
get a job, get married, and live an ordinary life like the others.
Even then, it would be a pipe dream.
It's not like I enjoy the idea of my child getting labeled disabled.
But
I've got to face the reality.
They say parents should keep the children's dreams alive,
but Byeong-hui dreams
of becoming a pilot. We both know how unattainable that is.
Rather than supporting a dream she'll never see come true,
I want to teach her to earn money to get by in life.
That will be more helpful for my baby's future.
But a few mere points stand between her and enrollment in a special needs school.
My child is anything but ordinary,
but I have to raise her as if she was.
Byeong-hui, why do you want to be a pilot?
Because I was the happiest
when I went on an airplane with Mom and Dad when I was little.
That's why I want to be a pilot.
Because airplanes make me happy.
But it's not like only pilots can get on airplanes.
You can fly on airplanes even if you have a different job.
I still want to be a pilot.
- Attention, everyone! - Yes!
Take these with you.
- What is it? - Let me see.
Oh! It's the schedule.
- Right, here you go. - Give me one.
Look what we have here.
What is this?
The boarding schedule. I have one for you too.
- Really? - Uh-huh.
We embark at Dubrovnik,
cross the Adriatic Sea, and sail all around Europe.
Let's have fun for the next year!
A year? That long?
I'm sorry I took so long.
- I had no idea it had gotten so late. - Don't worry, I just got here.
So I did some digging, and apparently,
you need something called an LOE to get approved to board the ship.
Have you got that yet?
No, not yet.
The wait must be killing you. I wish they'd give it to you sooner.
Hey, Song Yu-chan.
Man, it's been so long.
I thought you were dead.
Hey, can't you see how hard I'm working?
Right, enjoy the grind. Forget your old pal.
Hey, no one's forgetting anyone, okay?
I think about you so much all day.
What's wrong with you? That's so creepy.
How can you say stuff like that with a straight face?
- Don't you ever think of me? - Wow.
Of course I do. We spent our whole lives together.
That's the problem with us, isn't it?
All we do is worry, and we worry all day.
"Is Da-eun hit with depression again?" "Has Yu-chan's panic disorder returned?"
But we're in no position to be worrying about others right now.
You're dating, so you need to think more about your boyfriend.
And I should focus on settling in
and getting a girlfriend who's a total knockout.
Fine.
I'll try to be well. You do the same for me.
It's a deal, then.
I'm off.
- But… - What?
But,
in my humble opinion,
you'll never meet a girlfriend who is a total knockout, ever!
Those are fighting words.
And this supposed girlfriend,
wouldn't she have some standards?
All right. If you come right now, I'll forgive you.
- Nah. - Get back here.
Hey, you! Get over here! Hey!
Mr. Song, you'll be the PM. Please submit an approval request.
A meeting with a client has been arranged.
I want you to come, so clear your schedule.
Form a TF and report back when the RNRs have been assigned.
Make a list of people who signed up for the talent show,
and send me a video link.
When will the report be ready? Can I check it now?
Yu-chan, your brother wants to close the coffee shop and open an internet café.
You should hear him out and talk him out of it.
How about a franchise instead of an independent fried chicken place?
We'd have to pay the franchise fee on top of renovation costs.
Right, what did you want to tell me?
I actually have
panic disorder.
That's why I quit my last job.
I believe work-related pressure played a huge role in it.
So, what, you want me to cut you some slack?
No, not at all, sir.
I was wondering if you could let me pace myself
until I get adjusted to work here.
You aren't busy enough.
Try burying yourself in work instead. That will solve your problem. Got it?
This place is completely flooded.
Right this way. Oh my God.
Why didn't you get out? Why…
Oh, man, your shoes are all soaked.
A pipe burst in here, you see. Gosh!
Oh, so it seems.
It was leaking last time too.
I think the same spot busted again.
Man, that's why I've told them time and time again
that they should replace the entire pipe system,
but they never took my advice. That's why they keep getting these leaks.
Cheaping out to save pocket change. Smart move, jeez.
Yup, that looks like the right spot. Can you give me the medium-sized one?
ASSISTANT MANAGER PARK JAE-MIN
See you tomorrow.
That's the problem with us, isn't it?
All we do is worry, and we worry all day.
But we're in no position to be worrying about others right now.
I'm heading home.
Mr. Song, you can't go home already.
I want to help you write up the report,
but I'm afraid
I signed the standard labor contract,
which states each workday entails eight hours, 40 hours a week.
If I were to stay and work more, I'd be violating the Labor Standards Act.
But more importantly,
I need to go home and take care of myself right now.
I need some time.
I'm sorry, but I'll be heading home first.
You're dating, so you need to think more about your boyfriend.
And I should focus on settling in
and getting a girlfriend who's a total knockout.
So don't get sick again. I won't either.
Fine.
I'll try to be well. You do the same for me.
It's a deal, then.
Byeong-hui.
- Promise to keep up with your treatment? - Yes.
The condition won't just magically go away,
so you just try and get a little better every day, okay?
If things get tough to manage on your own or if you start hurting yourself again,
come to the hospital.
All of our doctors are here to help you.
Got it?
Okay.
- What should I do with these, Ms. Jung? - I'll take them.
Ma'am, what did you decide to do about Byeong-hui?
We just decided to let her finish her current school.
The school agreed to start a separate employment track for her.
What did Byeong-hui say to that?
Oh, she still insists on studying, saying college is a must to become a pilot.
I told her that the class can help her with that,
but we'll have to argue again once we get home.
Try not to stress her out too much.
And that goes for you too.
Okay.
Thank you for everything you've done for us.
Thank you, ma'am.
PSYCHIATRIC NURSE MIN DEUL-RE
Have you decided where to go from here?
I told Ms. Song that I wanted to quit…
but I think I should keep working.
It must be a lot to think about.
This should be a no-brainer.
If I go on the cruise,
I'd have to spend a year apart from Dr. Hwang.
So you feel bad for Dr. Hwang. Is that it?
There's that,
but…
I don't think I have it in me to spend a whole year away from him.
Does everyone have a full glass in front of you?
- Yes. - Yes.
Right, before we say cheers,
I'd like to wish nothing but good health and happiness
to our very own nurse, Ms. Min Deul-re.
And please don't forget about me.
Thank you for all your hard work, Ms. Min!
Thank you!
Ms. Min.
This is a gift from all of us.
- A round of applause! - Thank you.
They're matching T-shirts.
- Fancy ones for you and your boyfriend. - What?
You're dating Dr. Hwang.
- How did you know? - No wonder you turned down dates.
Everyone knew. You guys just didn't know we knew.
I practice my wedding speech these days.
- And when will you tell us, Ms. Jung? - Excuse me?
- We know you're dating Dr. Donggo. - Whoa, you guys knew?
I mean, you guys have made it so obvious.
I even saw you guys holding hands the other day.
- No, that was just a force of habit. - A force of habit?
No, a mistake.
- Really? - Oh God, I'm sorry!
- You guys looked cute. - Oh no.
You two were so adorable.
Ms. Min.
You'll come across many hardships, and things won't go your way in life.
But all roads lead to me.
So feel free to call me anytime.
No matter where you are,
I'll rush right over if there's someone acting out.
Thank you, Mr. Yoon.
Watching you work
made me stay on my toes, but in a good way.
You were young and didn't have much experience,
but I learned so much from you, Ms. Min.
No,
I learned a lot from watching you work.
This is such a bittersweet feeling.
But I'm going to think positively.
I'll think of it as less competition for me.
I mean, Ms. Song.
Everyone calls Ms. Min the next head nurse,
while I'm still breathing.
That kind of thing really gets to you, you know?
- No one's ever mentioned me. So… - Same for me.
Well, that's all nice and everything,
but I'm still far from retiring.
I just might nip your hopes in the bud so you don't get your hopes up.
Well, it will have to wait till we empty our glasses.
Okay.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Remember this place?
Yes.
Do you still
see yourself as a pile of crap?
I don't.
If I was, that would mean you're dating a pile of crap.
About the cruise…
you should go.
Think about all the things you've done so far.
To do everything you wanted,
you abandoned your mom,
quit your job,
and you put up with so much hardship
to make it this far.
So, why hesitate now?
You feel bad about leaving me?
Yes.
I do.
Then…
abandon me.
If I were your doctor and you were my patient…
I'd give you the same prescription thousands of times over.
Wait. Does this mean we're breaking up?
- What? - Well, that's the vibe I was getting.
You see,
you do know that by abandon, I was talking figuratively.
Right?
You know, like "pay me no heed," something like that.
Gosh, you were so cool just up to a moment ago.
Oh, was I?
- What about now? - Right now, you seem a bit like a loser.
How do you think Ms. Min feels?
When I look at Ms. Min and you,
it feels like everyone is thinking hard about their lives
while I'm just stuck in the same spot.
Makes me want to smoke.
You can't.
Here.
But if you think about it,
we're thinking so hard so that we can remain steady like you.
I'd say that you're the complete version of yourself.
- Is that right? - Yup.
The complete version. I like that.
Did you drink a lot?
What are you two doing out here?
We were just getting some air.
What about Ms. Song? Did she drink a lot?
Yup, she's knocking back the drinks tonight.
As she should.
Come on, don't just laugh. Do something about it!
What are you going to do?
- Ms. Min. - Oh? Ms. Song.
Come here. Let me give you a hug.
Come back whenever you want to.
Thank you so much for saying that.
What are you two doing?
Whoa, you can't leave me out of these things.
- Ms. Park! Join us. - Come here!
Have a good trip.
- Thank you. - Next, please.
I hope you weren't waiting for Dr. Hwang.
He insisted on coming, and I barely managed to talk him out of it.
No way he should ditch his presentation at an annual symposium to see me off.
Why not? Sounds just like the kind of thing Dr. Hwang would do.
Please look after him while I'm away.
Okay. I'll tattle on him whenever I can.
But what brings you here, by the way?
I don't know.
I thought I should come to see you off.
You know what?
As I watched you work,
I always thought, "That's the kind of nurse I want to be."
Well, I gave up on being a nurse after I met you.
What?
I could never become a nurse like you.
You're someone who can always get back up from a fall,
but not me. I can't do that.
That's why I'm leaving.
I want to learn how to pick myself back up.
Then I guess we've influenced each other in a way.
Have you been well?
Yes.
How are things with your friends?
Do you also feel
frustrated with me, Ms. Jung?
Man, you're so frustrating.
After fourth period, you have the employment track class.
Why should I?
They don't teach classes there.
Employment classes teach job hunting tips,
such as writing résumés, using a computer, you know.
I must go to college.
I don't think so.
Let her be. It's not like that class will help her get a job.
No class will make any difference.
The teacher told me to send her over to that class.
Whatever, I have to get you there, so follow me.
- I'm staying here. - You have to go.
Even if you stay here, you won't go to college or ever be a pilot.
Why not? I'm going to do it!
Byeong-hui, you did listen to me.
Yes.
But how did you get here?
Where's your mom? Are you going on a trip?
Nope.
I work here.
What?
I'm here for practical training.
My employment class teacher said
that I should be near my dream spot if I want my dreams to come true.
Oh, I guess you have to go now.
INFORMATION
I'll see you again, Ms. Jung.
Yeah, see you.
We're all standing on a border.
Byeong-hui, who stood on the border between her dreams and reality,
found her own answer.
Yu-chan, who stood on the border between anxiety and stability…
Mr. Song.
- It's six. - Oh, is it?
…found a way to stop hurting.
All right, everyone, let's wrap it up.
Great job today.
I once stood on the border between depression and non-depression,
but now I have someone who visits me before depression ever does.
We all cross between day and night throughout our whole lives.
PSYCHIATRY UNIT RESTRICTED AREA
Hello.
I'm Ji Seung-jae, assigned to the psychiatry unit
as a nurse.
Come on in.
I'm your preceptor.
A proper orientation would be nice,
but we can't afford to have one as things stand.
So you'll just have to adjust quickly.
As you know, we're very short-staffed.
Unfortunately, we can't teach you every little thing
like we did during your clerkship.
Go easy on me. Go easy.
- Okay. - Come on.
We don't even have curtains here.
So our mornings start earlier than any other ward.
LET'S CHEER OURSELVES ON EVERY DAY
Nope, no, Ki-wan won that round.
Right? All right.
How about we consider this point of view…
For instance, saying something like "cheer up" to someone who…
Thank you.
Dr. Cha, I'm going to buy some pants.
- What do you think of these? - Very cute.
It utilizes magnetic fields, so there won't be any side effects.
It'll take roughly 30 minutes.
- Ms. Park. - Yes?
- Aren't you feeling hungry? - Not even a little.
Okay.
Don't forget to take the medicine.
Are you for real?
- Eat it outside. - Okay, hang on.
Think about why I had to hide here to eat these.
Is that mine? I knew it. It's mine!
All right, why don't you eat everything? Happy now?
Thanks for the snacks!
All of us are standing on the border between normal and abnormal.
