KEEP TO THE RIGHT

The 44th floor.

-The doors are closing. -Wait! Hold on!

Thank you.

Gosh, it's hot. Could you…

Oh, my. We live on the same floor.

I see.

It's nice to meet you.

You too.

I live in Unit 4403.

It's my daughter's house, not mine.

I see.

I'm only staying for a few days.

-You must've worked out. -I did.

You're so pretty.

Thank you.

You look around my daughter's age. Are you married?

No, not yet.

I see. People nowadays don't need to get married if they're competent.

My daughter works for an ad company. What about you?

I also work for a company.

Which company?

-Well, then. -Right.

Oh, my. You're right next door.

Right.

Goodness. People these days order delivery too often.

-It's healthier to cook yourself. -I see.

Would you like some of my side dishes?

No, that's okay.

I appreciate it, though.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye, ma'am.

-Have a good day. -Okay.

PPOYAN DENTAL CLINIC

DOCTOR YOON HYE-JIN

Dr. Yoon, Ms. Kim Yeon-ok is here.

She's here early.

EPISODE 1

-Hello. -Hello.

You're from this morning…

What a small world.

You said you worked for a company, but you're actually a dentist.

Shall we get you an X-ray first?

-Sure. -Okay.

Thank you so much.

-My pleasure. -Many of my teeth ached.

I was worried it'd be costly, but you're too kind.

My daughter's paying, so I wasn't going to do it if it was pricey.

I see. Your daughter must care about you a lot.

She does.

Go home safely, and I'll see you next time you come.

Thank you so much.

-Goodbye. -Thank you.

Goodbye.

Did we get new magazines?

You don't need to help me.

Aren't these beautiful?

They've been in my online cart

for a long time.

Why? I'm sure you can afford them.

I'm waiting for the promo code.

It doesn't hurt to get a discount.

They're so pretty.

Dr. Yoon, may I have a word with you?

Sure.

I just read your chart.

On Ms. Kim Yeon-ok?

Yes. You suggested only one implant

and three cavity treatments.

Correct. I'm planning to preserve her teeth as much as possible.

-You're more careful than I thought. -Sorry?

She'll need to get implants for the rest sooner or later,

so it's best to get them right now to prevent any more damage.

The best defense is a good offense. You know that, right?

And you're one of the best strikers our clinic has.

All right. Come up with a new strategy, okay?

She's my patient.

I have the right to plan her treatment the way I deem fit.

Please respect that.

Sure. If that's what you believe,

then okay.

Good day.

PPOYAN DENTAL CLINIC

What?

What do you mean? I'm not in charge of her anymore?

The chief doctor is going to treat Ms. Kim Yeon-ok herself.

What is this? Don't you know how to knock?

Ms. Kim is my patient.

-Give her back. -What?

I don't care how you treat other patients,

but don't touch mine.

You seem to be hinting

there's a problem with the way I treat patients.

It seems like you have a lot to say, so go ahead.

You suggested double-jaw surgery to a patient with joint issues,

non-insured materials to raise the fee,

and implants for teeth that could be saved.

Ripping off patients is your specialty.

What did you say?

It's doctors like you that make people suspect dental clinics of overtreatment.

Are you serious right now?

Did you forget I'm the one paying you? How dare you act all upright?

You think your salary grows on trees?

Let's get our facts straight.

It's more like you're making money thanks to me.

Most of the patients here are mine.

Have you gone mad?

How dare you look down on a doctor who has much more experience than you?

"I will practise my profession with conscience and dignity.

The health and well-being of my patient will be my first consideration."

What are you spewing?

The Hippocratic Oath. Do you even remember it?

And you call yourself a doctor.

Hippocrates would turn in his grave.

What a nutjob. Stop right there.

You won't get away with this. You'll never be able to find work…

Hey! You're…

Hippocrates?

DOCTOR YOON HYE-JIN

So you just quit?

Yes.

What about the patient?

I introduced her to another clinic.

What is the motto you've lived by for the past 20 years?

"Don't be nosy and focus on myself."

Exactly. It was very unlike you to care about her.

She was on a power trip. I have my own convictions as a doctor.

I see. Is that why you bought those shoes as soon as you quit?

Of course. I gifted myself a little something for my retirement.

The underlying message is "Better days to come."

I'm sure your credit card company sent you a message first.

"You have to pay an extra two million won this month."

-Let's break up. -Sure.

So what will you do?

Are you going to be jobless and have bad credit?

I don't know. I don't have enough money to open my own clinic.

I'll have to slave away under someone wealthier than me.

I just hope I get paid well.

We're going to be slaves forever.

We got to find a way to escape it.

-Let's drink until we drop. -Sounds good.

I didn't even shower.

What time is it?

DR. LEE

You're texting me already?

Can't run things without me?

How dare you post it on the online dental community forum?

I'll make you pay for this.

You will never be able to work in this line of work ever again.

Post what?

BOOYOUN DENTAL CLINIC RECRUITMENT RESULT

AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION, WE DECIDED NOT TO RECRUIT YOU

This is bad.

Your chief doctor must be spreading false rumors about you.

Our chief doctor immediately knew it was you

as soon as he read your résumé.

More bills?

MOM'S BIRTHDAY

SUWON

-Du-sik. -Yes?

I asked for a competent worker,

so how could you send me a guy who gets very seasick?

Jeez. You're still just as impatient.

No one's a pro from the start. They need time to adjust.

Hey, a fisherman that can't ride a boat is ridiculous.

He's a rookie, so cut him some slack.

He came all the way to Korea to work, you know?

I know. Fine.

How are you holding up?

I was struggling

because the boat was swaying.

But now, even the ground is swaying.

We call it "land sickness."

Here.

It's peppermint tea.

I see.

I dried the leaves myself. It'll help you with the nausea.

Thank you.

Good?

Right.

Stick these in your ears before sailing out tomorrow.

They'll help prevent seasickness.

Thank you.
