DOCTOR ON THE EDGE

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION - SOME SCENES WERE GENERATED USING AI

CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS WERE FILMED SAFELY

Hwayeong.

Power off.

Just listen to it.

Come on, just try listening to it for now.

Music is good for treating anxiety.

It's out of battery.

Huh?

I charged it yesterday, though. Give me a second.

- I should have a power bank. - …is now departing.

Do you want to chew on this?

Chewing on something can help you relax.

I told you I'm okay.

You're not okay, though.

You were crying yesterday.

Excuse me, please wake up.

Seonu…

Sorry?

Seonu…

You were saying "Seonu."

Do you know me?

Sorry?

Did I ever ask for your help?

Ah…

Well, no, but I...

I'm sorry you had to help me like that yesterday, but…

I never asked for your help.

So just be on your way and stop crossing the line.

What?

Wait, when did I ever cross the…

Excuse me!

What the hell? Sheesh.

Hey, I need to get on a ferry right away, so I'm going to need a prescription.

I'll head to your hospital.

I'm heading over right now.

PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER.

The last ferry came and went ages ago.

How come Dr. Do Jiui still isn't here?

I know. He couldn't have deserted his post on his first day, right?

- Sheesh. - By the way, Ms. Hwang,

a newbie is joining us next week, right?

I'm going to be really nice to her.

Newbie?

You said the new nurse is in her third year. I'm in my fourth.

Doesn't that make her the newbie?

I guess you're right,

but she won't be your typical newbie, just so you know.

She hasn't even been a nurse for that long,

so imagine how awkward she'll feel.

I should help her out.

I've even organized all the handover notes.

Oh, okay. Well done.

As to who will end up helping whom, we won't know until she gets here,

but well done.

PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER

Dr. Do.

Hmm, what?

Goodness, Dr. Do! Do you have any idea what time…

My gosh. You look like death. What happened to you?

I'm sorry. I fell asleep on the ferry.

So you were sleeping on the ferry all this time?

Yes.

Must be nice being that unbothered.

Sleeping fine while ditching work.

Do you want to chew on this?

Chewing on something can help you relax.

FEELING DOWN? HERE'S A PICK-ME-UP!

EPISODE 2 THE WOMAN WHO CROSSES THE LINE

- Bellflower roots? - That's right.

- They're precious wild bell flower roots. - Mmm.

So, about that… You saved the chief's life last week,

so the youth association told me to give it to you.

It's from the youth association? Thank you.

By the way, Mr. Lee Jangsu, what brings you in today?

I'm just here to get those meds I always take.

Those meds you always take?

You already took two weeks' worth a week ago.

Two weeks' worth will barely cut it anymore.

My wife also takes it and all,

so give us about a month's worth this time.

Did you just say you share your meds with your wife?

Yes.

No. Proxy prescriptions are illegal.

Strictly speaking, it's not a proxy prescription,

since I'm also taking those meds.

I still can't do it.

And the coughing might turn into pneumonia if it continues for two weeks or more,

so I'll give you three days' worth.

Come back after finishing it.

I'm busy as hell because of the anchovies!

And you expect me to visit regularly?

That's the only way I can properly assess your condition, sir.

I know my condition best.

I'll take care of myself,

so just give me 30 days' worth.

- I can't do that. - That's how it's always been!

You're just going to cut me off like this?

Cough medicine, something for your phlegm,

antibiotics, and this long one is the stomach coating agent.

Take one packet in the morning and in the evening after a meal.

Did you really only put three days' worth in there?

We only put in as much as the doctor prescribed.

That's the law.

Is there a law saying civil servants can ignore residents?

Who said anything about ignoring anyone?

That's not it. It's just how the law is.

Hey, you think I don't know the law?

Law this, law that!

Looks like I'll have to take legal action against you civil servants

who love the law so much as a wake-up call!

Wait!

Have you been drinking? Calm down a little, so I can explain…

- What should we do? - Sorry?

Word is Mr. Lee actually went to the county office to file a complaint.

Ah.

Looks like things will get quite troublesome for a while.

Doc, loosen up a little, will you?

Duking it out with the residents is never easy.

It can't be helped.

- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you.

Which brings us to my point.

If it won't be a big issue, how about we just do as they ask?

That's better for everyone, no?

Giving patients whatever prescriptions they ask for

isn't necessarily "better for everyone."

Nothing good comes from giving in to patients.

I'm not saying this for my own good, okay?

It's because I'm worried about you guys.

If you keep doing as you please,

something terrible is going to happen to you!

You'll see once it happens to you.

- Gosh, so frustrating. - What do you…

Is anyone in?

- Oh, my! - Huh?

Oh, goodness!

I see you were still eating.

- Hello. - Goodness.

You were discharged from the hospital already?

Yes.

I got treated right away, after all.

Dr. Do's stubbornness saved my life.

Had it not been for Dr. Do Jiui, I'd be on my way to Heaven by now.

My, my, my.

Isn't this monkfish liver?

What a precious treat!

Not as precious as my own life.

Goodness, Dr. Do.

Thank you so much.

Once I make a full recovery, I'll pay you back for everything.

You can count on it.

Okay.

We took too much of your time when you were eating.

- Let's go now, Chunsik. - That's right.

You must be tired since you just got discharged,

- so go home to rest up. - Okay.

- Thank you, everyone. - Goodbye.

- Take care. - Oh my, thank you.

- Have a safe trip home. - Sure.

I love you, Dr. Do.

What?

You're totally in the chief's good graces now.

On this island, once you get on his good side,

your quality of life skyrockets.

Last time, he brought me pizza from the mainland

because he liked my acupuncture treatment.

I got pizza for acupuncture,

so can you imagine how well he'd treat you for saving his life?

Pizza?

Just because he liked your acupuncture treatment?

Yes! Pizza!

What the heck?

Let's see…

Ms. Eom. What's going on here?

What now?

I mean your slippers. They're the same as mine.

Did you pay a premium for the overseas shipping too?

I heard these were really hard to get.

A premium?

Let me see now.

Did they always have this color?

I've never seen it before.

What are you, a detective? What are you looking at my feet for?

I'm just fascinated, that's all.

I think we have pretty similar taste.

Similar, my ass.

How could I possibly have similar taste to someone who owns a clinic in Seoul?

Just get back to work!

He's such a weirdo!

Damn it!

Who the hell pays a premium for a flimsy pair of slippers?

I do not like him one bit.

I'm so hungry.

It's only 8:00 p.m., but none of the stores are open…

Our island only has one supermarket.

Ours doesn't even open at times.

I realized the value of convenience stores.

If you come across these on your next trip to the market,

you have to stockpile them.
