Dr. Romantic (Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim / Nangmandakteo Kimsaboo / 낭만닥터 김사부)

Her wound is small but deep.

An artery, a nerve, and two tendons.

It's 3 tendons. We have to put 5 together. Have you done this?

Have you?

No, I've only seen a video.

It's my first time.

If you make a single mistake,

I'll cut off your wrist and give it to Seo Jung.

Okay?

Let's begin.

Mosquito.

We will perform a dissection for the next five minutes.

I will operate on her for neurological rehabilitation,

arterial reconstruction, and tenorrhaphy within 30 minutes.

Is that even possible?

Hook.

Hold this.

Suction tip.

Median nerve partial and radial artery.

Flexor pollicis longus, flexor carpri radialis,

and palmaris longus complete.

Is he really going to do everything...

without any additional incision?

The 10,000-hour rule.

It says if you work on something for 3 hours a day for 10 years,

you will become an expert.

It sounds somewhat plausible.

If so,

how long will it take you to become a specialist?

It will take 20 hours per day for 11 years,

which is about 80,300 hours in total.

You will only become a specialist after spending 80,000 hours in...

studying and slaving as a resident.

You'll also have to pass the board exam.

You must also try all your best so that you can complete in 11 years.

However...

I didn't spend my entire life...

studying, practicing,

and dissecting to get stuck here...

in some small hospital...

in the countryside.

Things are still unsettled.

So what are you getting at?

That's why I'm still anxious about the future.

No matter what happens,

I'm going back to Geodae Hospital.

Whatever happens,

I will go back there.

That's how I felt.

We have five minutes left on tourniquet.

I will start arterial reconstruction right away.

Lupe.

Insert.

Prepare nylon eight.

The suture is so thin that you can't even see it with the naked eye.

But...

he's being unbelievably fast.

Who...

on earth is he?

Dr. Kang.

Cut.

Do you want me to cut your wrist off?

Cut.

Cut.

Cut.

Cut.

- We have 20 minutes left. - Cut.

I will start neurological rehabilitation immediately.

I will perform tenorrhaphy at the same time.

Stay focused.

Cut.

Cut.

Cut.

For the next five minutes,

I'll perform tenorrhaphy of tendon.

- What? Within five minutes? - Let's start.

Needle.

To the right.

That's not it. Stretch it upwards.

It's been five minutes.

Okay.

We have two minutes left.

Cut.

Cut.

He's fast.

- Cut. - He's unbelievably fast.

We have one minute left.

Cut.

Suction.

Suction.

Cut.

I'm sorry.

We have 19 seconds left.

Cut.

Cut.

The nurse prepares everything...

in advance as if she knows what he'll do in the next step.

Everyone in this operating room...

is working in perfect order without making any unnecessary moves.

- Time's up. - Cut.

Turn off the tourniquet.

- What about bleeding? - She's not bleeding.

The vital sign is between 70 to 100. The oxygen saturation is stable.

Okay.

Close it up. You can do that much, right?

It's upsetting.

Good work.

But I couldn't say anything to him.

His operation...

was the most perfect one that I have ever witnessed in my life.

I was...

like a fool more than ever.

I'm okay.

I'm fine.

Darn it.

Yes?

We finished up on Dr. Yoon and moved her to the ICU.

- Okay. - About Dr. Kang...

Well, he seems totally lost.

Okay. I'll do that.

Master Kim must have pushed him so hard.

He just did everything as usual.

You know his style, right?

And just like the other doctors,

this one will leave, too.

He'll also curse Master Kim just like the others.

I need an explanation.

Who on earth are you?

What are you talking about?

I can't understand at all, no matter how hard I try.

- About what? - The man who tried to...

cut my wrist off at a casino...

turns out to be a chief surgeon stuck in the ER.

My private life and hobbies...

are none of your business.

The operation in the afternoon was definitely a general surgery.

But the angiorrhaphy was way too professional...

for a general surgeon.

Are you complaining about how good I am?

Seriously, what is your area of specialty?

Are you a gambler or an ER doctor?

Or are you a surgeon?

If you are a surgeon, you must be specialized in a particular field.

Are you a general surgeon? Are you specialized in blood vessels?

What is your main area of field?

Saving lives.

That's what I'm specialized in.

Don't play games with me.

I'm asking very seriously.

Are you sure you're not just embarrassed of yourself?

What are you talking about?

You were embarrassed of yourself back there.

That's not all, right? You're a doctor,

but you wasted your time at a casino bar early in the evening.

You tried to use a defibrillator...

on a patient with dyspnea, too.

What do they do in university hospitals these days?

How do they teach their medical students?

Don't patronize me.

I passed the board exam with the highest score in the country.

That's exactly my point. What good is it when you can't even tell...

the difference between...

cut and suction in the operating room?

There wasn't anything wrong with me.

Your hands were just way too fast.

Do you know why...

surgeons wear masks in the operating room?

It's to prevent contamination.

You're wrong. It's to keep the mouth shut.

It's to keep the mouth shut so that they can speak with their hands.

Don't make an excuse for yourself...

in front of a patient who is on an operating table.

Don't try to rationalize yourself.

Surgeons don't get second chances.

You were the one who couldn't do well in the operating room.

Do you get that?

You didn't answer me yet.

I asked you what you really are.

Why this little...

I'm the master.

Master...

Kim.

What?

That's me.

I'm Dr. Kim. In other words, I'm Master Kim.

All right?

Did you hear what Dr. Kang just said?

He passed the board exam with the highest score in the country.

I heard that. Why?

I see.

Strange people.

And a strange doctor.

This is Search Team Three.

We're at Doldam Hospital.

We found a vehicle of suspected hit-and-run.

Strange hospital.

What are you doing...

in this strange place?

What were you doing here...

in the last five years?
