Based on my tests, you will need to have a Philippine IP to watch the videos. This might change, like in the other GMA shows, some episodes have more IP restrictions, some not (it's too random to track).
Again, only ‘full episodes’ and from official source, will be added.
Also, it looks it was intentionally cut to make way for Voltes V: Legacy. They probably already finished filming.
The way I understood it, Voltes V: Legacy is a floating project. Whenever they are ready, it will take priority. So, maybe, they decided to end Urduja at the right part of the story, and then just continue it after Voltes V: Legacy.
Which works. The ending of Urduja (S1) left the audience curious, it ended right where things turned very interesting.
y does the prof always make it hard. I mean if he took over the centre be no messi g or back stabbing by the other…
The “Dr. Romantic” franchise was never about medical. ^_^ It is about relationships with other people and your colleagues or co-workers. It is about a Doctor's attitude in treating patients.
If you haven't done so, watch Season 2 at least. You'll see that the franchise is about the drama that happens in managing a hospital and managing people with clashing principles and ego.
True to the tradition of Doldam Hospital, there are two new doctors to train in Master Kim's principles and ways. In Season 3, we have a doctor who seems to be irresponsible and only cares about playing games, and an ex-Navy doctor who is eager to learn but lacks experience.
Are they truly who they are? Or, do they have stories to tell which shaped their thinking and their attitude in life and at work?
I. Gamer doctor The gamer doctor seems to be angry at the world. Something happened in his past. Probably someone died, and he was right all along in his analysis, but no one listened to him (at lease based on his outburst in s04ep04). And instead of being praised that “he was right all along”, he was further ridiculed for having shamed a senior doctor or a professor.
In the end, he grew deep resentment at all senior doctors and adults. He figured, he'll just work the minimum required hours, and do whatever he wants after, because from his view, and possibly from his experience, doctors doesn't really care.
Master Kim being Master Kim, he quickly identified there is deep pain behind his attitude. But, he is not one to force him to tell him because a person should learn it on their own to truly own it and face it. This is what the gamer doctor did in episode 4 when he apologised.
He needs someone to guide him. Not teach him, but guide him. He experienced something which broke his trust about humanity. Playing games was his way to escape. No, the game world has turned into his real world, and the real world turned into a robotic fake world he was forced to do (to make a living).
He definitely needs a Master Kim to recover from whatever it was that turned him from a good, positive person, into the most pessimistic young doctor.
II. Ex-Navy doctor The ex-navy doctor seems to be trying to live up with something.
Two possibilities: 1. I'm suspecting that his father was an influential politician or military officer, and his license was earned unfairly.
He was either placed by his father (or mother?) in the navy, so he will only do the barest of things, which was what we witnessed in episode 1.
2. Or maybe, he did pass and earn his license fair and square because he's so very good at academics, at memorisation. But lacks self-confidence, and possibly self-esteem, too.
So, his solution was to hide in the Navy.
Regardless if it is #1 or #2, one thing is clear, he has the brains, but lacks experience. Having witnessed the talents of Doldam hospital, and his genuine desire to learn, he took a leap.
But after his failure in episode 4, both his self-confidence and self-esteem were more likely hit very hard, at least with the way he got stuck standing outside the operating room, and then later, stuck sitting in the dressing room.
Was it because he's thinking he's failing his father's (or mother?) expectations? Was it because he is thinking he should have stayed in the Navy and live the easy life?

Based on information available from episodes 1 to 4, with a bit of analyses here and there.
I love how they're doing and where they are going with Season 3.
The sudden unavailability of the original new doctors from S1 created a Dr. Romantic tradition of taking in new doctors and training them in Master Kim's principles and ways.
Come Season 3, they can not just remove Season 2's new doctors just to keep that tradition, so what they did is to move the original cast to the new Trauma Center.
In this new Trauma Center, Seo Woo Jin is like the young Master Kim. True enough, from episodes 1 to 4, Woo Jin has showed how he truly learned, and duplicated, Master Kim when it comes to treating patients and training people.
Meanwhile, Master Kim and the seniors of Doldam Hospital, with the support characters from Season 2, are the main crew now. Doldam is basically back to ho it was when S1 and S2 started… short on staff and Master Kim the all-around doctor.
Oh, and Master Kim is going to train two new doctors… again. Doldam's tradition.
All the while, Master Kim's grand plan is to make them all grow, as well as to convince his rival that the Trauma Center is the best place he could ever be.
You see, Master Kim is fully aware that everyone in the hospital started worshipping him, but he is only human and that means one day, he wouldn't be there to solve all their problems. They haven't realised it yet, but they all already learned what they Master Kim can teach them.
As episode 4 said, the pupil has surpassed the Master, which is a universal truth in any culture, at any given time in history (or today).
It is Master Kim letting them all go, work with someone new, his rival no less, so they can grow. This in turn will teach them that Master Kim is not a god, and that they need to stand on their own without him.
Which is what was repeated in episodes 1 to 4, they always have Master Kim to back them, or as a last resort.
And I think this is where Season 3 is going, and I can't wait for all the challenges they will face and how they are going to face it individually and as one unit. Are they going to forget everything they learned from Master Kim that the patients come first? Are they going to forget the morals they learned from Master Kim? Or, are they going to go beyond their differences and see above and beyond their biases, to create cohesive team, the best in Korea?
Even Master Kim's rival has a lot to learn. He is too by-the-book. Like his daughter said, there has to be some flexibility if it means it will save a patient.
Which is true. We wouldn't be where we are now today if great minds before us were 100% by-the-book. Absolutely nothing comes out of being 100% by-the-book. No innovation. No improvements. No humanity in it. We just have to learn to judge, draw a line, and balance it all out.
Look at the military, that is a fine example of 100% by-the-book. Who brought them innovation? People, brains, who are not controlled by the military. We should not make ourselves slaves to principles and rules. We need to be flexible because we are human beings and everything, like it or not, is case-by-case.
This is, at least as far episodes 1 to 4 are concerned, is what Season 3 is about. Growth. Learning. Flexibility.
please someone slap the princess in the face, to see if once and for all she pulls herself together and does something…
She's annoying, yes, but her character is representing a lot of modern people today.
Far too many people today no longer have morality in their bones, they open their mouths without even thinking. That they represent other people by what they are doing and should be thankful.
For example, people who loves to accuse other people of “cultural appropriation”. And when you tell them that you are fine with it and you don't consider it as such, they'll be angry at you for disagreeing with them. They'll even accuse you of being a fake.
Another example. People who loves to talk a lot about things they do not understand, thinking they are representing us Asians, us Autistics, us Brown people, when in reality, they are just making things worse. They make issues about non-issues. They give half-baked solutions and lots of foolish speech. But the marginalised groups, the people they are supposed to be representing with all their fancy words? They never asked for their opinion at all, zero, nada, zilch.
Exactly how the Princess, in this show, has been doing. She is thinking from her privileged position. She is thinking that they are helping them. And when they are proven wrong, they still act high and mighty. Look, she didn't even apologise, instead she turned it into an “analysis” or a “case study”.
And she'll do it again given an opportunity, because up there, from a position of privileged, their way of thinking will always be “we know better”, exactly how people who pretend to be speaking on behalf of others do. Like again issues on autistics, Asians, brown people, and people who use faulty public transportation, are always supposedly represented by whoever.
That is who the Princess is. She represents all of those people. And I am glad her character exist so people who should feel uncomfortable will feel uncomfortable. ^_^
How 'bout if Lee Gyeom becomes king and Lee Seol will live normally and get to be free with Dan O? hehehe
I totally agree. Seol only wants revenge, after that, he's letting everything to chance.
While Gyeom knows that the government itself is a contributing factor to the problem. Current officials, and department/agency heads are led by allies of the dictator.
If they only change the king, the king will still be controlled by the self-serving officials, and they might even plot to install their own king (which was probably what happened in the first place).
Seol was heading straight into battle without any strategy, and without scouting first.
Gyeom is a strategist. He sees other ways to defeat the king without the king knowing anything.
Based on my tests, you will need to have a Philippine IP to watch the videos. This might change, like in the other GMA shows, some episodes have more IP restrictions, some not (it's too random to track).
Again, only ‘full episodes’ and from official source, will be added.
Enjoy!
Ah, never mind. There were clearer shots after 5 minutes and it wasn't him.
S01 have 20 episodes, so I'm assuming this "episode 21" is from Season 1?
But you mentioned previously “Episode 21 of season 2” but S02 only have 16 episodes.
If I understood your reply, episodes 17 to 21 are special episodes?
Must find those episodes…
Also, it looks it was intentionally cut to make way for Voltes V: Legacy. They probably already finished filming.
The way I understood it, Voltes V: Legacy is a floating project. Whenever they are ready, it will take priority. So, maybe, they decided to end Urduja at the right part of the story, and then just continue it after Voltes V: Legacy.

^_^
Episode 10 or 11? There are only 16 episodes (1 hour each) in S2. ^_^
(Season 1 only have 20 episodes, 1 hour each.)

One example, using a hotel chair as a sniper rest. That was a bad idea.
True enough, they did depict how bad of an idea it was. They showed the powerful recoil, which shook the chair, and actually made everything unstable.
The comedy part was, the bullet still went through the bullet-size hold on the window. ROFL
Well-played.
There was another from episode 1 I only noticed after rewatching, but I can't remember it anymore.

That's how many people, not just attorneys, should be today; however, many choose to be the Princess or the Minister and his corrupt party.
