Elsewhere, the little girl who arrived at Doldam in the ambulance sneaks in and comes face to face with Sa-bu. However, their interaction spreads rumours of her being Sa-bu’s daughter.
Eun-jae decides to call Sa-bu to seek his help while the patient’s mother arrives and overhears Jin-man. She then recognises him and throws a slap which shocks everyone present. Sa-bu arrives and finds out about the patient’s situation. He then tells the others to prepare for the surgery. Sa-bu then calms down the mother before revealing what would happen next.
Jin-man witnesses all this and begins a dispute with him, asking why he doesn’t cherish the doctors under him who have to face multiple cases. Sa-bu tells him that they are doctors who are doing their job instead of thinking about such consequences. Jin-man scoffs at his answer after which Sa-bu reveals that the patient is a humidifier victim against whom Jin-man spoke in court.
Later, Eun-jae asks Jin-man about this but before they can finish their conversation, she is called to talk to the officers who have got additional information about this case. Meanwhile, Ah-reum is having late-night snacks with Dong-hwa and Sun-woong when the latter notices Dong-hwa’s infatuated expression.
He tells him about Ah-reum dating someone. After this Dong-hwa proceeds to ask her about her boyfriend, unaware, that it is Eun-tak who is standing beside them. Meanwhile, In-su finds out that his daughter has disappeared from home and ends up having an argument with his wife.
Unaware that his daughter Byeol has heard it all while hiding from him. On the other hand, Woo-jin begins the surgery with Sa-bu. However, he suddenly cuts his finger during the surgery which surprises everyone. The surgery proceeds smoothly and they are able to save the patient.
However, she would require a lung transplant within a week to make it through. Unfortunately, they are met with the news that she might have been trying to commit suicide. This could leave her unable to get a transplant and shocks everyone.
Jin-man arrives at this moment and mocks Sa-bu for having performed a useless and risky surgery. He makes Sa-bu face the harsh reality that the mother will have to face and makes Sa-bu realise how not thinking about the doctors around him has brought forth a negative effect.
Sa-bu is shaken up by this comment and begins to think about everything that he has been doing this whole time. From pushing the doctors around him to their limit and not caring about the multiple trials that they have had to face.

Dr Romantic Season 3 Episode 6 Review
Episode 6 brought out the flaw of our seemingly flawless Sa-bu, and while we may not want to agree but Jin-man was right in some ways. But this does not wash away Jin-man who still continues to be in our least favourite character list.
There have been many relationships on this show, however, the relationship between Sa-bu and the others is what is highlighted here. Jin-man is someone who makes sure to catch on every little flaw of Sa-bu and this vision of his is paving the way for this season.
So let’s look forward to how Sa-bu goes ahead with this and his relationship with Jin-man.
