Summary:<\/p>\n
Episode 14 is shorter than other episodes in length. Episode 14 begins with Sung-Jae\u2019s workplace again where he is visited by Hak-Chan and Yu-Jung where he is asked to show the way up the mountain. Then the scenery changes to the hospital where Jun-Hee works and where Tae-Ung is hospitalized. There they talk about Tae-Ung\u2019s upcoming surgery and how the centre head to be is going to do the surgery herself indicating that Tae-Ung is a VIP. Also, we can see throughout the episode that Tae-Ung works continuously at the hospital as well, reflecting the working culture in the Korean society. <\/p>\n
Yun-Je then appears in his car thinking of his times with Jun-Hee and reflects on what Jun-Hee told him in the past, coming to realize that Jun-Hee hinted at him that the person he actually likes is Yun-Je. Later on Si-Won visits Yun-Je\u2019s work by bribing the front office for an entrance to his office. Si-Won attempts to look at Yun-Je\u2019s laptop in which Yun-Je stops her quickly. This part is interesting because, Si-Won did an illegal act at a location where they protect the law. <\/p>\n
Then the scenery shifts back to the hospital where the dept. head asks Tae-Ung on a dinner date, in which Tae-Ung refuses. Then she starts counting the number of Tae-Ung\u2019s family members. After, Yun-Je and Si-Won goes to the staircase of the hospital and Si-Won asks Yun-Je if he still likes her and he responds by kissing her. At the end of the episode, Tae-Ung finds out that his brother also loves Si-Won. The last clip of the episode is at present day where Dong-Il is talking to either one of the two Yun brothers and complaining Si-Won\u2019s lack of sincerity in providing her parents with allowance. He then tells Tae-Ung when he becomes president, raise the salary and working hours of screenwriters for broadcasting stations. <\/p>\n
Some questions to consider while watching the episode and reading the summary are: <\/p>\n
1) At the beginning of the episode Jun-Hee tells Tae-Ung that the future centre head is going to perform the surgery as he is VIP. Do you think this is ethically correct? Shouldn\u2019t all the patients have the same access to the best quality of doctors? From my own experience working at a university hospital in Korea, professors tend to spend more time on the VIP patients than others, perhaps due to potential bonuses. <\/p>\n
2) Throughout the episode, we can see that Tae-Ung works extremely hard event when he is hospitalized. Do you think this represents the working culture in South Korea? <\/p>\n
3) We can see that the doctor who is going to perform surgery on Tae-Ung begins counting his family members and at the end mentions that it won\u2019t be easy. In South Korea, females tend to not want to marry people with too many siblings or the eldest child as it could require more work and more criticisms. Can you see this in other cultures? Also do you think this exists in South Korea still today?<\/p>\n
4) Dong-Il over the phone complains the lack in sincerity of the small allowance he received from his daughter. Do you think he should be happy to receive any allowance at all as allowance providing to parents is not widely seen in western culture (my opinion, not too sure about this part)? Do you think the culture of providing allowance to parents will change in South Korea in the future?<\/p>\n
5) Through Dong-Il telephone call we can see that Tae-Ung is running for president. He was a professor and a technology entrepreneur. Do you think he resembles a political figure in South Korea? An Cheol-Su perhaps? <\/p>\n
