In addition, in the target audience of 2049 men and women, it recorded an average of 2.5% in the Seoul metropolitan area, peaking at 2.9%, and an average of 2.7% nationwide, peaking at 3.1%, ranking first in the same time slot across all channels including terrestrial channels (based on cable, IPTV, and satellite integrated paid platforms/ provided by Nielsen Korea).
The obstetrics and gynecology department has faced friction with the anesthesiology, emergency medicine, and pediatrics departments over issues such as securing surgery rooms, patient calls, and arranging space in the neonatal intensive care unit. With limited available space and the inability to adjust the timing of deliveries, obstetrics and gynecology residents have had to persuade, coax, and even threaten anesthesiology, emergency medicine, and pediatrics residents to secure space.
Amidst this, a situation arose where the busy obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesiology, emergency medicine, and pediatrics departments had no choice but to work together. In a situation where there was a lack of personnel to lead the surgery, an emergency pregnant woman who had to deliver immediately arrived. To make matters worse, the mother was a foreigner who couldn’t speak Korean or English, making Oi Young even more anxious.
In response, Han Dong Ho from the anesthesiology department, Park Jun Seok from the emergency medicine department, and Park Moo Kang from the pediatrics department quickly moved to support Oi Young, who was leading a surgery for the first time in her life, to resolve the situation. Encouraged by the three, Oi Young calmed her nerves and began the surgery, and the arrival of Chief Gu Do Won added further support.
Despite it being their first surgery without attending physicians, Oi Young and Gu Do Won calmly succeeded in delivering the baby. When the baby’s heartbeat did not return, Park Moo Kang tried his best to resuscitate the baby by rubbing his whole body, and the baby’s loud cry in everyone’s hopes relieved them. The residents who overcame a major hurdle together were moved to tears and comforted each other with warm hugs.
Subsequently, Han Dong Ho showed a caring side by surprising Oi Young, who was shocked by the unexpected emergency, with a herbal medicine and shielding her from a sudden downpour with an umbrella. He even surprised Oi Young by suggesting, “Would you like to have a meal together?”
Especially as Gu Do Won watches the two, it foreshadows a new change in the relationship between Oi Young and Gu Do Won. The presence of Han Dong Ho is expected to bring a new variable to Oi Young’s unrequited love for Gu Do Won.
Meanwhile, Pyo Nam Gyeong received a prophecy from the attending physicians to recruit obstetrics and gynecology residents, and made efforts to bring in intern Tak Gi Yeon to the department. Contrary to expectations, Tak Gi Yeon, who had no interest in obstetrics and gynecology, mistook Lee Eui Soon for someone else, leading to a misunderstanding with An Chi Hong. However, not willing to give up so easily, all eyes are on whether Pyo Nam Gyeong can turn Tak Gi Yeon into an obstetrics and gynecology resident.
The 8th episode of “AWDL” will be broadcast on the 4th at 9:20 PM.
