The two patients that Oh Yi-young became the new attending physician for were both mothers with ten-year-old children.The mother, who had suffered from cancer for a long time, had a daughter who was much more mature than her age as her guardian, and Oh Yi-young had conversations with her daughter and before she knew it, they had become much closer.

Unlike other mothers who successfully completed the surgery, the daughter’s mother’s condition deteriorated in an instant without any time to do anything.The daughter, who always looked dignified, must have had a hard time accepting her mother’s death.Even when Professor Cho Jun-mo(played by Lee Hyun-kyun)hinted at the end, the daughter denied it with an innocent face, which was heartbreaking.

Here, Oh Yi-young conveyed her sincere comfort along with her own experience so that her daughter could part ways with her precious person.She always looked indifferent, but even after she left her mother and became an adult, she said that she still had a big hole in her heart, and the sight of Oh Yi-young shedding tears alone while missing her mother’s voice brought tears to the eyes of the viewers.In addition, the warm embrace of ‘Daddy-Long-Legs’ Ahn Jung-won(played by Yoo Yeon-seok)became a strong protection for the child who had to become an adult faster than others.

While Oh Yi-young was spending time with her young guardian, first-year resident Eom Jae-il(played by Kang Yoo-seok)was experiencing unexpected growing pains.Unable to trust his own judgment while performing ultrasound examinations on patients, Eom Jae-il was always asked to confirm the results by senior residents Ki Eun-mi(played by Lee Do-hye)and Cha Da-hye(played by Hong Na-hyun).

Unlike Jae-il Eom, who was excited about getting the right answer, the seniors ‘workload kept piling up as they had to go back and forth to the ultrasound room.Upon hearing this, Do-won Koo(played by Jun-won Jeong)gave Jae-il Eom a sharp warning and brought him back to his senses.It is becoming curious whether Do-won Koo’s advice will help Jae-il Eom improve further.

On the other hand, Oh Yi-young’s direct advance toward senior resident Gu Do-won also gained attention.Oh Yi-young asked Gu Do-won for a birthday present, asking him to say “yes” to whatever she said until the elevator arrived at her house.When Gu Do-won said “yes” to her suggestion to eat and watch a movie together, but offered various options, Oh Yi-young’s heart went between heaven and hell.

As they gradually approached the house, Oh Yi-young, who was becoming anxious, surprised Gu Do-won with a straightforward confession, “Can I like you?” After a moment of hesitation, Gu Do-won answered, “Yes,” and drew the line, saying, “If you want to be uncomfortable with me, then do so.” Attention is being paid to how Oh Yi-young will react to Gu Do-won’s rejection, and the changes in their relationship.

The story of fresh graduates going through the painful growing pains of love and work continues tonight(the 27th)at 9:20 PM in episode 6 of tvN weekend drama ‘Someday, I Will Be a Wise Resident.’
