Sorry @abs-oluteM looks like my wish came true, but not in the way I thought it would be. Hope this doesn't take away his career.

If they want this to be realistic, am sure there will be injuries.

This doesn't look good though 

 

[Tofu]

There will be no injuries because WJ is invincible. If he can fight off a ex-military without getting killed, he can do anything. He's only used like what....1 or 2 of the 9 lives he has? 

 

 

[mademoiselle]

His hand is injured. Think the metal pierce through it, but you know what? In S1, Yoon Seo Jung slit her wrist & cut her vessel & she was fine later  🤷🏻‍♀️. Preview says his nerves might be damaged 💔

[Tofu]

Wow! This drama really hate the doctors. They are putting them through some shitty situations.

But it's Seo Woo Jin. He'll make a complete recovery because he'll have the best doctors treating him. With Woo Jin out, does that mean the cameos from our S1 doctors is coming soon?! 

 

By the way, I'm surprised the fire department does not have someone certified to train them on CPR. It's actually pretty common to have an instructor in their department who teaches and train everyone.

Episode 9

 

I am feeling more emotional today (hormones) so I was particularly annoyed with the situation whereby the writer had the Assemblywoman also being the victim of the collapsed building. I mean, it's a great way for her to personally understand the need to set up the medical trauma centre, but I just hate seeing on SNS about Kim Sabu having to "choose" between saving her or Woo Jin.

 

I'm already biased towards Ahn Hyo Seop (Oppa here) who plays Woo Jin, but to be practical, I'd save a medical doctor over a politician any day! After all, a medical doctor like Woo Jin spends more than 10 years to horne his skills. Anyone with any profession can be a politician! Hmph! 😤

 

 Dr. Bae is indeed weird, eh?

Hahaha, the show is just throwing in some dramatic moments. To be honest, when Woo Jin and Eun Jae first arrived at the scene, the show spent too much time having them freeze up/freak out doing nothing. I'd think as experienced doctors they will immediately rush to action.

Hahaha this would be that one special drama I'm willing for the show to be unrealistic and show me Woo Jin recovers without any sequela. But did you watch Code Blue S1, Tofu? The mentor/team leader of Code Blue team lost an arm in the end when saving patients. The show even made Yamapi's character being the who made that decision to cut it off while the other residents watch him so coldly perform the procedure and wasn't very understanding of it. But it was a memorable impact it made for the show.

True, I remember the company had someone in for first aid course, and the trainer is not a doctor. I think even a nurse can do the training. That said, I appreciated the show giving us a pre-lesson why medical staff won't do CPR at the incident site and explain the protocol and priorities they must focus on.

 

The one difference I see for this show is medical staff's first priority is themselves whereas in Code Blue (Japan), Yamapi them all always go to inside the incident site. Of course I don't know the accuracy of this or perhaps different countries (even states) have different policy. I think it's only fair that medical staff should also take care of themselves and put their safety first coz the patients rely on medical staff to treat them. 1 medical staff down may mean losing 100 more patients. Woo Jin and Kim Sabu are just too romantic in this aspect. I like that the show seems to be teaching Kim Sabu a lesson and the consequences of his actions/teaching. Back in the days, Kim Sabu himself wouldn't have second doubts because he was the one risking his life, but now he's seeing his own mentee acting like him and risking his life, it all feels different.

Maybe just Yoo Yoon Seok and Seo Hyun Jin. This building collapse incident is probably big enough to bring the cameo back since Doldam needs help, but wouldn't the media be publishing this news by now? So I guess maybe still not "big enough drama" for their return. Sejong didn't show his face until E15.

 

===

 

Han Suk Kyu's voice when he yelled into the phone was so... I don't know how to describe... sounds so good.

[mademoiselle]

 

[abs-oluteM]

There was this film making I saw on twitter where AHS's hand had like this guard or support on the wrist. So I think that must have been for the injury to his hand. 

 

Given the title or theme of the show, it would be a lot more weird if WJ had not gone in, and ET not followed along. It is foolish in some ways , and IRL I don't think anyone should be doing this. I confess I was somewhat annoyed. And seeing that Kim Sabu is going to do the same to save WJ....man, this whole romanticism thing is getting out of hand. But then, when we deal something that is a matter of life and death, what choices should they have made? Anyway, I know the writer wanted to raise the stakes for this season.

 

I think it's clear that Cha JM is not really a suitable candidate to head the trauma centre. A skilled surgeon he may be, but to ignore the SOS from the hospital at a time like this just means he would not be able to handle the sort of emergencies that the centre is set up for. Him going to court was a lot more to defend his honour, then to help Dr Jang. 

[abs-oluteM]

I really felt it in the scene . Imagine the pain. Can’t believe they did this Woo Jin 

 

[mademoiselle]

Mmm, not looking good for our cute dimples couple too.

 

Good news is, we have a scene where Kang Dong Joo called Kim Sabu (just his name on a mobile phone).

Episode 11

 

[abs-oluteM]

@mademoiselle I suppose the story going forward will deal with WJ's career crisis - EJ proposing to him the way she did in the preview seems to indicate he is going to lose confidence in himself . Knowing how her parents are , they may object to their relationship. But what of our cute dimples couple? I couldn't find much spoilers for them.

 

Yes, YYS is gonna cameo next week! I did skim through S1 when my mum was watching last time. To be honest I prefer YYS' doctor role in Hosplay than here (in S1)- in fact I was in love.  So I can't say I have a lot of affection for Dr Kang.

 

Maybe my crush on Director Park can resume ...ahahahaha

Spoiler

 

 

I love KMJ and LSK's friendship.

[abs-oluteM]

Okay , I found the spoiler. In some ways I kind of understand Areum. The lack of communication really sucks 

 

[mademoiselle]

Episode 10

 

Prepare tissue papers... or it's just me being more emotional. Haha. I didn't ugly cry but few times tears well up in my eyes. It was a good episode overall. @abs-oluteM, I love the bit Kim Sabu thought Park Min Guk was going to stop him, but instead he tells Kim Sabu to take his car. Awww... he's so Doldamified!

 

Even Jang Dong Hwa is slowly being Doldamfied. His conversation with Kim Sabu really cracked me up. Though I must complain, how does the Show expect us to remember who was the one Kim Sabu mentioned in the past asking him "Who is he/what is he?" I wouldn't have remembered if it weren't seeing a weibo post with screencaps showing me it was Kang Dong Joo.

Have you never seen S1? Yeah, I was annoyed with YYS's character majority of the time when watching S1. He was nothing like HosPlay's character. Often I find him childish. My fave, as you already know, was Do In Beom instead even though he doesn't have the best personality in there too. 😅 But they all had character development in the end, so all was forgiven.

 

Interesting how Kim Sabu tells Cha Jin Man he was just Plan B. Already internet errupted saying Kang Dong Joo is Plan A when straight after the drama showed us he called. I don't want to believe he's the person Kim Sabu has in mind to run the Trauma Centre. Instead, I'm thinking maybe it's Yoon Seo Jung because she was the one learning from Kim Sabu the longest and specialises in Emergency Medicine and CS, exactly what Kim Sabu can do. Dong Joo and In Beom are the GS. But...

 

Proud of Eun Jae soldiering through the operation calmly saving the teacher, knowing that would have been what Woo Jin would want. Except, I really don't think I can relate with Woo Jin's reasoning behind saving the teacher. Sure, yes, in this instance both this teacher and Kim Sabu held a position in their students' hearts, but in reality, I haven't met any teachers that selfless. It's all too overly romantic and idealised on the remark of "...that's what teacher is".

 

As for Ah Reum, I understand her reasoning of being upset. It's valid. It's something they can work on in their relationship. Doesn't seem to serious to me. Phew. Eun Tak happens to be one of those dap-dap hae kind of character (much like Yoo Hyun Min's character in Bora Deborah). But I must say, from the get-go, he really didn't quite have the time and was in the mental state to spare making a phone call to Ah Reum. He was all the way, "BAM... do this do that, rush to the operation and all he had in his mind was making sure that teacher patient stabilises else Woo Jin's injured hand would become meaningless". His priority was the patient because he's too Doldamified.

 

That restaurant ahjumma ... is there a foreshadowing that later on she might play a part in Woo Jin picking himself up operating/saving her? Funny how unromantic I was when I saw her visiting Woo Jin with food, because the first thing that popped into my mind was, "Can he eat? Has he farted?"

Haha, not sure if these 2 are a couple yet (assuming they did kiss in the broom closet lol). Looking at the way they communicate, they seem to still be in the courting stage. While I understand Areum's point of view, in this particular instance, I think she is unreasonable. I hate it when the GF/BF says, oh you don't place me first or I only come 2nd or 3rd or 4th etc etc. This is exactly what Areum is doing. It's worse because she is a doctor too and should be more understanding of the situation.

 

I say, let there be another woman for Eun Tak! 😂

Ep 10 was very good. It was exciting and emotional and gratifying too. I had to switch off the sound when they started pulling Woo Jin's hand off the metal 🥶😨

 

I don't really want to admit it, but I did cackle at that scene between Jang DH and Kim Sabu 😆 Frankly, if after seeing Woo Jin's injury in that building basement he still stays arrogant and obnoxious, he's a lost cause. Glad he is more tolerable now. Btw, who is his sister? I don't remember S1 too much.

Was just about to ask this. Who is the ahjumma - how is she related to Woo Jin? Did she appear in S2?

 

[mademoiselle]

3 minutes ago, Chocolate said:

One of Kim Sabu's earlier patient who didn't survive. If I'm not mistaken, she was the reason Kim Sabu left the original hospital he was at and took the name of Kim Sabu rather than Bu Yong Joo. It's a long time ago for me too so the memory of S1 has faded.

5 minutes ago, Chocolate said:

Apparently yes, she was Soon Young's mother in episode 8 of S2. I can't remember this either. Again, too long (3 years ago for me). You've watched it more recently than me. Recall anything? I'm replaying this episode on Netflix now.

 

At the moment, my memory of this lady/actress is stuck with (1) She Would Never Know or (2) The Perfect Stranger. To see her all of a sudden being motherly to Woo Jin was weird.

 

Ah, her daughter (a paramedic was hit in the head by a drunk) died and her organs were donated for transplat.

[Tofu]

@mademoiselle The ahjumma was the mom of the EMT who died because she was brain dead. Her organs were donated and one was given to the prisoner. In one of the episode this season, she said she would pretend to be Woo Jin's mom at the parent meeting if he plans to marry Eun Jae. I think all the scenes that shows her is just saying that she's like a mother to Woo Jin.

Have you never seen S1? Yea

I only watched it after I watched S2   Even then I wasn’t emotionally invested - perhaps that’s why my bias towards WooJin is very strong lol! 
 

@Chocolate but for Areum & ET , they have been dating since s2 , that’s like 3 years. So while I agree she should understand his situation, for me it’s not the situation but it’s the underlying communication problems . Women react like that not over a one time issue. I think they do need to talk things out .

Oh, I binged in sequence and also don't have much liking for YYS in S1 so no loss there 😂

At the start of S3, ET was deciding whether to text her - it's very strange behaviour for a couple that has been dating for 3 years - by then, they should be comfortable enough to fa*t in the same room 🤣

 

[mademoiselle]

@abs-oluteM @Chocolate I think it needs to be watched in sequence & experiencing the wait. It contributes to the fondness for the show & characters. Hence, for me, it was always Do In Beom for S1 (and the love grew since I went straight to watch him in Duel). Plus I see them as "the Original team" 😅

 

S2 I was less invested because I find the format very similar to S1 and the villain is Director Do again, so I was not engaged. Also did not like the show killing off Doldam's director. 😕 The romance didn't really hit me either though I do really like Ah Reum and Eun Tak. But not for Woo Jin and Eun Jae. Strangely I preferred their relationship now in S3 😅.

 

I think so far S3 is really well-rounded good for storyline. Characters, too, I am surprisingly not annoyed with anybody unlike S1 and S2. I am even ok with Dr. Jang and Jang Dong Hwa. Just never ok with Secretary Jung...🤨

LOL this comparison shows he's skinnier in S2. xDDD

[abs-oluteM]

I haven't had time to go through many spoilers today, but I do know WJ will need 4 to 5 months for rehab.  EJ proposed they get married ...but I don't think WJ wants to do this under such circumstances.

 

And the councilwoman wants CJM to leave if Doldam wants funding for the Trauma Centre. KimSabu isn't pleased with this sort of threat but I think Director Park is keen or has a plan up his sleeve.

 

This was also the pre-released for eps 11 ..

[mademoiselle]

Episode 11

 

I've to question what happened in this episode. I mean, the last 10 were fantastic and all of a sudden the dramatic scenes of saving lives and pace changed and slowed down completely in episode 11.

 

This episode becomes a more personal one as it explores Cha Jin Man and his past. I also think Director Park Min Guk is pulling some dirty tricks here to oust Cha Jin Man and appease Assemblywoman so she'll help with the grant. I just cannot believe that after all this, she is still going to be the biatch.

 

Now, let's talk about Woo Jin. Dr. Bae thinks Woo Jin's 4th and 5th fingers may not recover to the way it used to be, but am I right to think that based on Woo Jin's subconscious reaction (and the focus on him squeezing the ball) towards annoying Dr. Jang's noisy eating that his fingers are going to be OK? The camera span to him squeezing the ball quite hard so the strength is there.

 

Really hated the speech Eun Jae's mother made. What era is she living in? Or is South Korea culture still this conservative? She's such an overbearing mother and unwelcome guest. She's also very judgmental and negative.

 

As for Ah Reum and Eun Tak... good god this couple! Just exactly how many weeks have passed and they haven't sorted this out? In terms of timelines, it would have taken weeks for Woo Jin to take off his bandage/wrist guard and even stitches... and this two lovebirds not once communicate about what happened? Narratively it doesn't make sense and it's not normal in a real relationship. This part is stupid, writer-nim.

 

As for Dr. Ung... omg why? Why did he do that? Did Director Park put him up to it?

[mademoiselle]

A-ha! It really is Kang Dong Joo

 

Episode 13 Preview - he really is Plan A.
