'Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim 3' Han Seok-gyu showed what a 'good teacher' is.
In the 8th episode of SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 3' (Screenwriter Kang Eun-kyung, Lim Hye-min, Director Yoo In-shik, Kang Bo-seung), which aired on the 20th, Doldam Hospital, which became a mess after the news that the gunman in the military base was in the hospital, was drawn. In the process, the Doldams each experienced a crisis, but showed a stronger growth. The existence of Sabu Kim, who saved not only the patients but also the lives of his disciples, left a deep impression on viewers.
The 8th episode of 'Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 3' recorded 13.1% for households in the metropolitan area and 16.1% for the moment. The 2049 audience rating, which is a key indicator of channel competitiveness and topicality, was 5.1%. (based on Nielsen Korea)
An evacuation order was issued for all Doldam Hospital after news that there was a gunman in the hospital. Cha Eun-jae (Lee Seong-kyung) did not evacuate because she could not miss the patient who had come to Arrest due to her own mistake. Dong-Hwa Jang (played by Shin-Young Lee) encountered a gunman while moving a patient. The killer's target is a gunshot wound soldier patient Jang Dong-hwa operated on. Jang Dong-hwa tried to escape, but he couldn't leave the first patient he saved, so he trembled and defended the patient.
At this time, Seo Woo-jin (Ahn Hyo-seop) appeared and stopped the gunman. The culprit carried out a shooting spree with a grudge while being forcibly discharged for gambling and loans. The culprit blamed the unfair and unfair world, which had a different starting line from birth, and was angry at the doctor, Seo Woo-jin, for not knowing what to do. Seo Woo-jin talked about his unfortunate family and said, “But don’t think that you got something that someone worked so hard to die for free. Die, I’m so pissed off that I came all the way here.” Seo Woo-jin left the scene with the agitated criminal, and the case was over when the military and police arrived.
Kim Sabu (Han Seok-gyu) and Cha Eun-jae came running because they were worried about Seo Woo-jin, who disappeared with the gunman. Seo Woo-jin expressed his heart, saying "I love you" to Cha Eun-jae, who made him want to live when he confronted the criminal. Looking at the teacher Sabu Kim who hugged him tightly, he thought, 'If I hadn't met Sabu Kim in my life, what would have happened to me?' Also, looking at my junior Jang Dong-hwa, I thought, 'Can I be that kind of person to someone?' The appearance of Seo Woo-jin and the arrested gunman was contrasted and left a lingering impression.
Park Eun-tak (Kim Min-jae) was also struggling with his past. Park Eun-tak showed a strong figure that was not shaken by the threat of a former biker friend who would destroy the life of a nurse she had built up for 10 years. Along with this, his past, who visited Doldam Hospital as a patient rather than a nurse, was also revealed. When his best friend who used to hang out with bikers died and was wandering around, he was brought to Doldam Hospital due to a traffic accident. At that time, Park Eun-tak, who was sober after meeting Sabu Kim, was living a new life as a nurse. Park Eun-tak was worried that Ah-reum Yoon (played by Joo-yeon So) would be disappointed to hear about her past, but Ah-reum Yoon said, “I don’t think there is a present without the past. If you love the present, there is nothing the past will not understand. I like the current Teacher Eun Tak”, which touched the hearts of viewers.
Cha Eun-jae, who had a mental breakdown in the operating room at the thought of missing the patient, also grew. Teacher Kim encouraged Cha Eun-jae, saying, "You haven't missed anything yet," and made sure not to give up on the patient until the end. In that way, Sabu Kim saved both the patient and the collapsing Cha Eun-jae. Cha Jin-man (played by Lee Kyung-young) went to the news that Cha Eun-jae almost lost a patient with his advice, and Cha Eun-jae said, “There is no such thing as overtreatment in trauma. It's a place where you have to do everything you can to save the patient's life. I've been learning that from Master for the past three years." It was Cha Eun-jae who became stronger through this incident. Cha Jin-man looked proudly at his daughter, whom he thought was just a child, growing up as a doctor.
After all the incidents, a chicken party was held at Doldam Hospital. After a stormy day, Doldam Hospital was filled with the laughter of Doldams praising each other. Listening to the laughter and smiling, Master Kim's ending warmed my heart. Just as Sabu Kim said to Myung-Shim Oh (played by Jin-Kyung) on this day, “Saving a person is like saving a universe,” the image of Doldams growing up after meeting a good teacher gave viewers a deep impression and romance.
On the other hand, on this day's broadcast, a scene where Oh Myung-sim asked Sabu Kim about the condition of the right wrist that had undergone surgery was drawn, raising anxiety. In addition, at the end of the broadcast, a lawsuit filed by a provincial councilor who had previously declared an all-out war against Sabu Kim due to a medical accident arrived at Doldam Hospital, and attention was focused on how the elements that instill tension in the play would affect future development.
