BEAUTIFUL DERMATOLOGY

Hello.

Hello.

BEAUTIFUL DERMATOLOGY DIRECTOR

What are you doing?

- Good morning. - At this rate, you might put it on me.

Coats these days look so refined.

- What color is this? - Give that to me. I'll wear it myself.

Goodness, I'll put it on for you.

Gosh, jeez.

Filming finished late, so I barely made it here on time.

Gosh, you're so cool.

You go to broadcasting stations and get filmed.

Why are you all dressed up?

Are you going on a blind date or something?

I use days like this as an excuse to dress up.

How do you like it? It's brand new.

Regardless, the face is what completes a look.

What happened to your face?

What do you mean? I really worked hard on my makeup today.

Let's go. Let's drink coffee.

Jeez, that cold-hearted woman.

I look pretty.

Gosh.

My friend, I keep telling you to come to get treatments before it gets worse.

Why won't you listen?

It doesn't look good to get free treatments for being a friend.

Then you can just pay for it.

Your mother-in-law is over 70,

and she comes here more often than to the grocery store.

Hey, my mother-in-law has always lived that kind of lifestyle.

Hey, do I look that awful?

Yes. Are you not eating well?

I mean, your face seems yellowish.

- What? - And your eyes look a little jaundiced.

What?

I'm just tired.

I haven't been feeling well the past few days.

Jeez.

Hey, that's that. Do you have any good news these days?

- What good news? - You have everything

but marriage.

Marriage, my foot. That's so ridiculous.

- Stop trying to be funny. - You'll be a virgin forever at this rate.

Honestly, on that subject, aren't you purer than me?

It's been over ten years

since you and your husband started sleeping in separate rooms.

Doesn't that practically make you a born-again virgin?

You little…

Listen, the love between a married couple

isn't always maintained through physical aspects.

It's a world of complexities and subtleties

that a spinster like you wouldn't know about.

Fine, you can spend the rest of your life

having your heart flutter at even the sight of your husband.

You'll be like that little girl Candy from that romantic series.

Hey, let's tackle those freckles first.

You're such a mess. It's hard to know where to start.

Let's go, Ms. Cha Candy.

Come on.

Most people throw a fit because they couldn't become a doctor,

so why did you choose to become a full-time housewife?

Don't you think it's a waste of your medical license? I'm done.

I don't think it's a waste at all.

While you were diligently looking after your patients and starting this clinic,

do you think I was just relaxing at home?

I gave birth to two kids and raised them into proper human beings.

You've worked hard to study medicine

and used it to work to create a great life for yourself.

But isn't raising two human beings like I did

future-oriented and a contribution to the development of this country?

Candy's leaving.

Hey, are you mad?

- I'm fine. - You are mad. Jeong-suk…

EPISODE 1

PLASTIC SURGERY CLINIC, CLINIC

Most people throw a fit because they couldn't become a doctor,

so why did you choose to become a full-time housewife?

Don't you think it's a waste of your medical license?

Goodness. Young man, are you okay?

Try to breathe. Someone help!

Someone help! Is there a doctor here?

Are there no doctors here?

There's no doctor?

I'm a doctor…

Here! This person said she's a doctor!

There's a doctor!

- Save him. - No.

What I meant was…

Gosh.

Give me this. Lift your head.

Sir, hang in there.

Intubation.

Call 911!

Come on, wake up, sir!

We need an ambulance!

Driver, stop!

We're going to transfer him to a nearby hospital.

You may not be his guardian,

but we heard you're a doctor. Could you come with us?

Isn't that lady a little weird?

Right? She said she was a doctor,

but did you see her hands tremble in front of the guy?

We have to get going quickly.

Yes, I'll go.

SEOMYEONG UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL DOCTOR ROY KIM

I'm a surgeon. I'll go with you too.

The LMA won't go in because of his swollen airway.

What should we do?

Please help me. What should we do?

Doctor.

Step aside.

Sir.

He has a pulse. We need to do a tracheotomy.

Okay.

Please give me an antiseptic.

Bag, please.

Sir, are you awake?

If you can hear my voice, please move your hand.

My goodness, Doctor! It worked!

God, thank you so much! You did so great, Doctor!

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

Excuse me, but what line of work are you in?

Sorry?

I heard you said you were a doctor.

Yes.

You shouldn't do that.

It's illegal for non-medical personnel to practice medicine.

Well,

I know you may not believe this,

but I am a doctor.

The thing is, I haven't practiced for over 20 years,

so my mind went blank when I came upon that situation.

I'm sorry.

Today is such a great day

since that patient met you.

You were really impressive.

Then I'll get going first.

What's the topic for this week's conference?

It's robotic surgery for low rectal cancer.

Professor, what should we do for the patient, Na Tae-gyeong?

Monitor the Hemovac

and ask the Psychiatry Department about his depression.

Yes, sir.

Professor, for tomorrow's conference,

should the first case be Jeon Sang-hyeok?

No, put Kim Jae-hui's surgery as the first case.

Yes, sir.

- You can go first. - Okay.

I get shocked every time I see Jung-min

because he looks so much like you when you were young.

I think I looked better, no?

I think we should be more discreet.

It'll be bad if your son finds out, don't you think?

- Should we have dinner together? - I can't. I have plans.

- What kind of plans? - Why? Do you think it's a date with a man?

- I'm not going to tell you. - Fine.

I'll go now.

ALARM, GANGNAM SEMINAR 7:00 P.M.

Come on, wake up, sir!

We need an ambulance!

Excuse me, but what line of work are you in?

- Sorry? - I heard you said you were a doctor.

- Yes. - You shouldn't do that.

It's illegal for non-medical personnel to practice medicine.

Mother, are you getting back from exercising?

- Yes. You must have just gotten back too. - Yes.

- Will you make me a glass of detox juice? - Sure.

I made some earlier and put it in the fridge. I'll get you a glass.

Jeez, the key to juice is its freshness. You have to make it fresh on the spot.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I made it in advance because I had to go out today.

Could you drink it just for today?

- By the way, Mother. - What?

Thank you for lending me your clothes and bag today.

- I'll dry-clean the clothes. - Sure.

I have dinner plans tonight, so don't worry about making dinner for me.

Okay.

Is Director Baek doing well?

Very well.

- Mother, she treated my freckles today. - That's good.

The new clinic is two times bigger than the last one,

and the interior was designed incredibly well.

So were you incredibly jealous?

Of course, I was jealous. She even appears on TV.

She's so impressive.

Even if a woman is skilled and attains fame and prestige,

it means nothing if she doesn't have a healthy family.

Dr. Baek goes on a vacation abroad every season, right?

But how can you call that a vacation? She has no husband and no kids.

She rides on planes and wanders around the world because she's empty inside.

To put it nicely, she's a successful career woman,

but just wait ten years.

She'll look sad and pitiful.
