Episode 15
Episode 15 of Doctor Slump begins with Jeong-woo getting a ring for Ha-neul. As he is about to give her the ring inside Ha-neul’s office, the ring falls, rolls over and underneath the couch. Ha-neul helps to get it despite repeated assurances from Jeong-woo As she is looking underneath, cockroaches emerge which prompts Jeong-woo and Ha-neul to scream.
Jeong-woo relays the incident to Dae-young who expresses that a ring might convey marriage to Ha-neul and make her feel uncomfortable since she has just begun her professorship. Influenced by Dae-young, Jeong-woo buys a bracelet instead. He find Bada on his way back and treats him and Ha-neul’s uncle to Toekbokki. They inform her that Ha-neul dislikes bracelets and so, Jeong-woo frantically runs back to the store and buys a necklace as well.
The next day, news breaks out that Jeong-woo has received around 2 billion won in compensation. Ha-neul visits Jeong-woo and they express how people are capitalising on Jeong-woo’s struggles. Ha-neul is especially bothered by it.
While going to the clinic, Jeong-woo and Dae-young come across Hong-ran and the nurse who accidently kissed Dae-young on the cheek. The atmosphere is comically awkward. At the clinic, the PR wants Jeong-woo to do interviews about his charity surgery. Likewise, Ha-neul’s hospital wants to do the same. However, Jeong-woo and Ha-neul are disturbed by this fact.
Later, Ha-neul and Jeong-woo go for dinner and are joined by Hong-ran who is feeling terrible about her situation with Dae-young. Soon, Ha-neul and Hong-ran get extremely drunk and Jeong-woo calls Dae-young. After Jeong-woo and Ha-neul leave, Hong-ran expresses her worries about re-starting a relationship after a failed marriage to Dae-young and they reconcile.
The next day, Ha-neul wakes up in the living room while the Nam family along with Jeong-woo are having breakfast. Later, one of Jeong-woo’s high school friends visit him and tells him that Ha-neul drunkenly threatened him to apologise to Jeong-woo. He is extremely remorseful about how things happened and apologises to him. A few minutes later, Jeong-woo receives a call from Ha-neul’s hospital.
The PR apologises to Jeong-woo and tells him that they won’t be doing the interview. They inform that Ha-neul threatened them that the doctors will back out of the surgery if they make it a PR stunt. We see a flashback of a drunk Ha-neul telling Jeong-woo that she will make everybody apologise to him.
Jeong-woo and Ha-neul, along with other doctors prepare for the the big surgery. Everything is going smoothly except, during the surgery they find that the little girl is suffering from TB and have to take some extra measures. However, in the end, the surgery is a huge success. The girl and her mother thank the doctors as they leave.
Later at night, Jeong-woo visits his high-school friends, who now run a night restaurant who is failing miserably. They are glad to see Jeong-woo and apologise to him. One of them explains that his mother was diagnosed with cancer and he was about to have child, therefore he had reacted the way he did. His friends also resolve to give him back the extra money they kept from him.
Ha-neul joins the group and the friends are surprised to learn that Jeong-woo and Ha-neul are dating. We discover that Ha-neul was quite popular in school despite her cold demeanour.
Elsewhere, Dae-young is trying to confess to Hong-ran but his daughter interrupts him and he ends up sending the text to his daughter instead. Interestingly she coaches him about it and Dae-young asks Hong-ran to meet him. He finally confesses to her and she accepts him.
At home, Jeong-woo expresses his wish to continue living with the Nam family since he likes to be around them. Ha-neul asks him if he would like to become her family. Jeong-woo misunderstands and cuts his finger. Ha-neul finds the entire jewellery collection that Jeong-woo has collected for her while looking for a band-aid. Ha-neul clarifies that she meant being as close as family but Jeong-woo finally puts the ring on her finger and proposes to her. The episode ends as they kiss.
The Episode Review
This episode was just wholesome. The show is in its resolution stage and we enjoy how the relationships are coming through. There is nothing of note but heartening scenes. The show does seem a bit too stretched but Jeong-woo and Ha-neul’s interactions are worth the stretch.
All in all, we are finally at the end after much ups and downs but there are many times Doctor Slump has made us smile. As we reach the finale of this heartwarming show, we will meet you in the final recap!
