Young-Min’s Promise
Episode 7 of Ghost Doctor begins with Young-Min and Seung-Tak reflecting on the successful surgery. For Seung-Tak though, he’s contemplating quitting medicine altogether. ..
Ban is confident that Chief Ban will help do the right thing, and he feigns that Seung-Tak didn’t actually lead the surgery. The thing is, it’s a win/win for Tae-Hyun. If he pretends to be in charge of the surgery, he can move up the ladder while also hiding Seung-Tak from scrutiny. When the Vice President rings, Tae-Hyun tells him everything went smoothly.
Although still a ghost, Young-Min seems to have turned a corner. While possessing Seung-Tak, he stayed by his patient’s side until the early morning. This is something the old Young-Min would never have done. Seung-Tak has no recollection of this when he’s told this by the nurses, but begins to wonder what’s going on with Young-Min.
Meanwhile, Young-Min heads to see the chairman. Se-Jin is there too and the chairman reflects on how she has the same expression now as she did 12 years ago when she left Korea. However, Jang Min-Ho arrives and continues to scheme. He wants to know where the chairman’s will is. Jang Min-Ho continues to scheme by asking where the chairman’s will is. ..
Min-Ho is determined to find out what the chairman is hiding. He’s working with the Vice President, who reminds him that keeping a patient sedated like this isn’t cheap. “The interest is piling up,” Min-Ho warns Min-Ho when they talk in private. Min-Ho grows desperate though and decides to use his contacts to speak to the Chairman’s lawyer.
Meanwhile, Seung-Tak is approached by Jae-Won who believes he’s being possessed by Young-Min. Seung-Tak feigns ignorance but when he mentions the issues surrounding Young-Min and what happened in the past, Jae-Won admits that the cases are very similar. ..
The Se-Jin family is also planning to have a surgery done on their son Se-Jin. He has sunk skin flap syndrome and will need a cranioplasty. This surgery is also going to go ahead and could well be successful.
Ban eventually runs into Seung-Tak in the hallway, encouraging him alongside the other doctors to specialize in a certain field. He pretends to be on the phone though, using ear-pods to make a quick getaway. When he does, Seung-Tak scrambles back to the office to check the Op. records. Only, it’s a little too late.
Doctor Ahn begins to look through the surgery notes and finds that the signature post-operation records are identical to forms written up by Young-Min in the past. He also finds that his signature is on these forms. This only furthers his suspicions that Young-Min is being possessed. ..
Through all this commotion though, Seung-Tak’s mother ends up seeing her son talking to ghosts in the hallway. She realizes he’s disguising this as a phone call but despairs that he’s not completely over this. As fate would have it, she’s actually well aware of his gift, having seen this as a child.
Jessica is a popular singer who goes by the alias of Jessica. She’s here for surgery and Seung-Tak is urged to do this, adamant that they save her.
It has been revealed that Young-Min, who is now in his early 30s, actually did surgery on himself 10 years ago which saved his life. He remains determined to keep his secrets about what happened when he was an intern, eventually telling Seung-Tak to do 100 squats by the end of the day if he wants to find out. ..
Jessica undergoes surgery and, due to Seung-Tak’s tardiness, a life-threatening bleed occurs. However, Seung-Tak manages to stop the bleed and everyone is relieved. However, Young-Min is furious with Seung-Tak for breaking their agreement and decides to end their relationship. ..
As the episode ends, Seung-Tak’s mother arrives to see security. She wants all the footage of Seung-Tak deleted from the hallways and surgery. Unfortunately, the Vice President shows up and reveals he has the footage already.
Despite knowing the risks, Seung-Tak makes a bold decision and stops an emergency patient before they’re taken away. Just like Young-Min did all those years ago, is he going to do an emergency surgery on this patient? ..
The Episode Review
In the latest episode of Ghost Doctor, we follow Young-Min and Seung-Tak’s complicated relationship as they continue to operate on one another. It’s clear now that Seung-Tak is well aware of the issues he has and the consequences that comes with continuing to possess his body. However, it seems like Seung-Tak is going to continue doing the surgeries, but it’s unclear to what end.
In the early 1990s, Young-Min was an intern at a company in Seoul. She remains a mystery to us all, but it seems like we’re getting closer to the truth with every passing episode.
The situation continues to grow intriguing though with the reveal that Seung-Tak’s mother is actually aware of her son’s ability to speak to ghosts. Unfortunately the vice president is also pretty smart and he is proving to be quite the adversary for our characters to tackle. Will Seung-Tak and Young-Min come out on top?
