So, it's clearer now. Daddy Cha is the polar opposite of Master Kim in certain areas.
* They both value their patients and their doctors. * They both will stand against senseless things like politicians. * They both won't bow down just to get what they need, like in this case, budget for the Trauma Center.
However, as per the episode 6 preview, they are polar opposites when it comes to how they spend their time. They also differ on where they draw the line.
I wonder where else they differ.
But, I think this is how they became rivals, even thought their experetise doesn't overlap.
This is actually very good. It is a changed of pace and different approach.
We can truly say that Daddy Cha is not exactly an antagonist character. They can even make Master Kim an antagonist for half of this Season if they want to.
I say, this is the most realistic hospital drama I've seen. I mean, would you believe that there is an abundance of corrupt doctors like how it was portrayed in Seasons 1 and 2? Sure, there are corrupt and self-serving doctors, but an abundance of it?
The Master Kim vs Daddy Cha is more grounded in reality. Two doctors with principles. Two doctors who wouldn't bend their values and beliefs. But have opposing views on certain things like how to run a hospital (which is management, not about being a doctor)
Me at the start of episode 5: Did I miss an episode? *skips through episode 4*
This is a new trend in K-drama. Like, started in 2023. There were two other shows this year with this style. They will start an episode with something that iss totally not connected from where the previous episode (usually last week's) ended. And then it wouldn't be explained until later.
So, you're like, “what was the opening scene about?” Distracted the entire episode until it's explained.
The character “Yu Ri” is representing the type of people who are clingy in real life. It doesn't matter if they are a guy or a girl, or they initiated the break-up or not. Clingy is the keyword.
These type of people are dangerous to be with. If they don't get what they want, they will go on a revenge. Even if they are still in a relationship, they are secretly, perhaps unknowingly, on revenge mode justifying it with “I'm teaching him/her a lesson”. Without their knowledge, it is destroying their relationship further.
It is worst after the break-up.
No, it has nothing to do with them being not able to move on. They just want revenge. They want to end up as the winner. They want to be on top, so they can tell people, without any guilt, that “I am right, s/he was wrong”.
That is Yu Ri's objective here. Every single time she and her ex talked, she always wanted to be on top, she always wanted to be the winner. But every single time she is defeated because her ex doesn't let his emotions overtake his rationality.
Yu Ri will not stop until she gets the result she wanted. That is all that is in her mind. They want validation that they made the right decision.
However, if the ex is not suffering, and is nonchalant about it, it makes them crazy. It tells them that they made a bad decision to break-up, or to agree to a break-up (if they did not initiate it). They also won't have anything to tell their friends, and if they're not good liars, well, their friends will immediately catch on that they're only making stories.
These type of people, like Yu Ri, if you detect them before you enter a relationship, that is good for you. But once you are in a relationship with them, you will definitely have a hard time.
The world revolves around them. They are the center of the relationship. They want to be the only one in control of the relationship.
Basically, they want you to worship them.
That's the kind of relationship they want. Not a romantic relationship but a god-worshipper relationship.
And they are good at playing victims.
You will never win with someone playing the victim, unless you bring them to court, where you both have to expose every single thing about each other.
In the end, the true victim (not the one playing the victim) will be the one taking the fall.
AND it looks like Yu Ri's ex decided to take the fall by droving off. He doesn't want to, but I think he understands how to make Yu Ri stop… to just take the fall.
Unfortunately, there are also people who won't be satisfied with it. They will continue to pester you. In this case, it is definitely time to bring it to the court.
I am NOT saying we should hate people like Yu Ri. You see, people are not born a “b*tch”, We are who we are based on our accumulated experiences and the environment we grew up in.
We still have to extend understanding. Maybe they were in a previous relationship like that. We DO copy and become like the person we romantically love, without us being aware of it. So, maybe, a Yu Ri type of person was like that because they've been through it themselves, and they had no idea they're doing what their previous ex did to them.
Do not tolerate the attitude. However, do not condemn the person to hell just because. We can extend a hand of understanding without tolerating their bad character.
And be sure you know where to draw the line. If they don't want to get help, if they continue to pester you, well, get a court order which will force them to stop. You extended a hand of understanding, you tried to help them, but still nothing? Your duty as a good citizen ends there. Draw a line. You deserve to be happy away from such people.
I really wish she didn't go after the car and let him go...
Not me. The moment he told her “I'm sorry…”, I was already telling Bo Ra, “don't leave the car, don't you dare leave the car”.
When he drove, I was telling her, “come on, move your feet girl, run, go after him, you know he'll only be hurt”.
And I'm very glad she did.
Romantic feelings aside, which we know Bo Ra have but is not yet aware of it, a good friend who knows what is happening—especially in this situation where Bo Ra knew what Yu Ri's goal is—would save their friend from hurt. If they still go for it, then at least you tried.
Here are my guesses:1. The couple will start sharing information2. Manager Oh and Yu Ra will have a girl-to-girl…
Yep, I hope so too. At least the way they are portraying Taegu, and how there are mysterious people, it's looking like they are all being played by an elite group.
And since all of them, except Do Hoon, had their childhood destroyed in that training camp, they have more than enough reason to bring down those people.
I just remembered, Do Hoon probably got an order direct from those mysterious people to bring down Butterfly. It just so happen Yu Ra shot her first.
At least that's what I'm suspecting. It will be a good reason for him to rebel against them, other than to protect his wife.
Hmm… which would mean, Wolfe was ordered by them and not Taegu? O_O Maybe that's why Taegu forced Yu Ra to remove Wolfe?
1. The couple will start sharing information 2. Manager Oh and Yu Ra will have a girl-to-girl talk 3. Manager Oh and Yu Ra will secretly work together to bring down Taegu 4. Yu Ra and Do Hoon are going to fight… as a couple… after all, they both want to protect each other, especially their cute fun little girl
Wildest guesses: 1. Taegu will have a change of heart because FAMILY. That was what's missing in his life. 2. The people calling the shots on Oh's organisation are probably the same people who used to call the shots on the Old Union 3. Taegu, Oh, Yu Ra, Do Hoon, decided to will join forces to bring them all down.
1. Yu Ra and Taegu were the youngest kids that arrived in the training camp.
2. Manager Oh was the fiercesome girl teenager Yu Ra and Taegu watched when they arrived.
3. At that time, the Union was the Korean government's secret organization. Or, to be exact, Black OPS. Meaning, it's not in the books, it is unsanctioned. The politicians and the public must never know it exists. And if the agents are caught, the government will deny any involvement, they are on their own.
4. Later, more likely after the Martial Law government collapsed, the Old Union was also dissolved. After all, with no support from the government; and with the new government unaware of its existence, there is no point continuing the Union.
5. Much later, Taegu decided to reform the organization. The New Union under Taegu's control, is a crime syndicate. Far from the original purpose of the Old Union.
6. Taegu needs to kill all the original members of the Old Union because for him:
6.a. They destroyed their lives. 6.b. For the New Union to work in secret, the Old Union must all be killed. They are liabilities. They may share the secret story of the Union, just like what Butterfly is doing. 6.c. For him, they are traitors. If they don't join him, then they must die.
1. There is only ONE timeline. There are NO multiple timelines/branches.
2. The currently accepted temporal theory that “everything that should happen, already happened” is not applicable in this show, since they showed us how newspapers and events changed.
3. As of episode 4, the only applicable temporal theory is the “time bubble” theory (or “quantum bubble” as some call it).
Meaning, the time period from the origin time period to the target period is in total flux. Nothing is concrete yet.
* origin time period = 2021 * target time period = 1987
4. Since the time machine broke, it is possible the time bubble no longer exist. If it will be fixed later, then 2021 and 1987 will be connected again, which will force everything in between to be in flux (nothing concrete/fixed - everything can change at any time).
* A time/quantum bubble is created because time travellers are changing things; and the time traveller causing changes can still travel through time. (At least that's the theory.)
** Also, a time/quantum bubble usually exist when there is only ONE timeline. It can exist in the “Multiple Worlds Interpretation” (a.k.a. multiple timelines) theory, but only in rare cases (usually seen in DC comics).
Director Oh was the teenager girl the young Yoo Ra witnesssed when they first arrived at the facility?
At that time, the Union was the unofficial offence and defence organisation of the Korean government. Director Oh was probably high performing, so she was assigned to the “public” secret organisation.
Then when the Union was dissolved due to the collapses of the Martial Law regime in SoKor, Director Oh was stuck, no one knew her real identity and training, and she slowly made her way up.
