As doctors, they are expected to cure patients and save lives. But what if it's just not possible despite them giving their very best? Just like what happened to the assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology Yang Seok-hyeong (Kim Dae-myung) in the second episode. Resident  Choo Min-ha (Ahn Eun-jin) updated Seok-hyeong about an OB patient who's in distress and while their team did everything they could, the baby did not make it. After the surgery, Seok-hyeong talked to the couple and delivered the devastating news. 

After the patient got discharged, Seok-hyung received flowers with a touching note that says the couple would like to thank him "for the precious weeks they got to have with their child" and that if they are to be blessed with another angel in the future, they would like Seok-hyeong to protect him once more. 

In life, things happen for a reason and while we should be grateful for things that go the way we want them, we should let go of things we can't control.

Neurosurgeon and the group's only female member, Chae Song-hwa, prepares for her VIP violinist patient's surgery. The night before, she woke up from her nap and went to the hospital cafe but she came too late. Still sleepy, she dragged herself to her car, preparing for a long drive back home. To her surprise, she found two cups of coffee on her car's hood—one with an extra shot of espresso (in case she needs that caffeine boost) and another, decaf (in case she wasn't sleepy). Who sent it? Your guess is right. It's just so good to see friends (and soon lovers) go out of their way to make others happy. How to be you, Song-hwa? #flutter.

Cardiothoracic surgeon Kim Jun-wan (Jung Kyung-ho) was finally in a secret relationship with Lee Ik-jun's (Jo Jung Suk) younger sister, Lee Ik-sun (Kwak Sun-young). But four episodes into season two and the couple broke up with Ik-sun telling Jun-wan she has fallen for another guy (although we all know it's a lie). Ik-jun eventually found out his sister is sick and he supported her through her treatment.

It was devastating for both, who obviously still love each other but are trying to keep their minds off their true feelings. In episode 9, the two met on a bus for a four-hour trip and Jun-wan asks if she's free for the weekend. Ik-sun agreed to meet him at 6pm, however, on the day they're supposed to meet, Ik-sun was brought to the ER. Her brother Ik-jun calls Jun-wan to let him know what happened and the latter rushed to see her ex-girlfriend. Before they can talk about their so-called "relationship", the cardiothoracic surgeon gets an emergency call. 

The couple makes us believe in second chances, or maybe not? We just hope for the best.

An elderly brain-dead woman was brought to Yulje. In her purse, the doctors found a donour card, which expresses her will to give her organs to other patients when she dies. Song-hwa and the team try to get in touch with the woman's family to get their consent but they are surprised to learn that her next of kin is one that works close—a security guard in Yulje.

The guard told the coordinator he needs more time to think about it. Later on, it was revealed that the guard has been abandoned by his mother for 30 years, thus, giving his consent was a very difficult decision for him to make. In the end, he agreed to donate her organs thinking that it's her way to ensure she does one last admirable deed as his mother, despite her shortcomings to him. It just goes to show, time heals.

Towards the end of episode 8, Jeong-won makes her mother's wish come true: to play the piano after a long time.
