Last Hope at Eighth Episode

We're almost there! 3 more episodes to go and how's our doctors doing? Definitely not good!
We have Tae-san suddenly collapsed, Kyouko-chan traumatized (duh? who didn't?)...
Our pretty doctor still doesn't know who he is... Everybody in the past seems to be connected to Seito Kenji at one point in time...
Basically... we have a messy threads all over the place and how the rest of episodes wrap those mess up? It'll be interesting and I really hope FujiTV plays it smart and not put an anti-climax ending for this drama. I'll even take an open end ending rather than anti climax.
We don't have lots of pretty doctor shots. I tried to take as much as possible, but not that many in the first place because he's not the main focus in this episode. The argument this time is who has the right to call the shot to pull the plug when the patient is brain dead... masaka!!!! *Gasp* NOOOOOO!!!!


We starts the same scene as where we left off from Epi 7, we go straight ahead with Komaki-sensei... so he's the main doctor of the day now...

vlcsnap-00484vlcsnap-00485
His son was in the ER and Komaki sensei just reached the hospital a little too late...

vlcsnap-00486vlcsnap-00487
A devastated parent. The background is the news on the fire where Satoshi, Komaki sensei's son was caught on.
Who's that kid? We'll find out later...

vlcsnap-00488vlcsnap-00489
This second time is myocardial infarction (fancy name of heart attack) on the right ventricle. Takagi-sensei doesn't understand why it's happening now, only 3 days after the transplant. It's part of the risk because 70% of her heart has become necrotic.
So they're raising with time with option and what they can do... (wait for subs!!!)

vlcsnap-00490This face... cannot be trusted... I still don't understand what the head center is thinking...








vlcsnap-00491vlcsnap-00492
Oh it looks so real!!! Our GP had really done TONS of operations...
Takagi-sensei looked so calm and they wonder why he's not scared (?). Then it goes something like, when people's life is in their hands, any doctor can go insane.

vlcsnap-00493vlcsnap-00494
Operation looks OK, but....

vlcsnap-00495vlcsnap-00497
VF!!! And they started doing the heart massage that even Soejima sensei told them they passed the limit and to stop, but they're still not giving up...

vlcsnap-00498The heartbeat is back, but... the probability of the patient being brain dead is high... *noooooo*....








vlcsnap-00499vlcsnap-00500
Back in the past... this episode will be bouncing back and forward like this that now even the past maybe just a couple days ago, but still in the past with all the sepia...

vlcsnap-00501vlcsnap-00502
Hatano-sensei is trying to confront head center with what's his actual relationship with the Saito couple, particularly Saito HItomi. Same story telling from the one with daddy.

vlcsnap-00503vlcsnap-00504
So, turn out that Saito Hitomi was his benefactor. Head center was not from a rich family so when he went to university, Saito Hitomi requested her parents to help him with the tuition. Seems that they didn't have any romantic relationship as Hitomi later was married to Kenji. Again related to the tunnel incident... and oh, head center won't tell Hatano sensei what daddy not spilling... aka... back to square one...

vlcsnap-00505vlcsnap-00506
hmmmmm.... a bit of emotion now on head center face... but our pretty doctor? Remains as pretty...

vlcsnap-00507vlcsnap-00509
Tae-san didn't go back to consciousness and they're checking for other signs... and with heavy heart they announced that Tae-san is brain dead... *NOOOOO*...

vlcsnap-00511vlcsnap-00512
This is the first time our pretty doctor experience this (failing to save the patient?). His hand just couldn't stop until the heart beat was back, which Soejima spite him back that it's not saving because now we have a brain dead patient.
Now they need to contact the family with the news.

vlcsnap-00514vlcsnap-00516
Another notebook? Moshikashite... and poor Kyouko-chan... when she starts to have courage, this happened...

vlcsnap-00517vlcsnap-00519
Komaki sensei loved his son. It's funny how he explain cells and stuff on a kid barely 10 years old. Satoshi apparently was concern over his friend, who had changed and now was always alone, not playing together with the rest of the kids. And daddy's answer is... complicated! and long... Looking back at his son confused face, Komaki sensei using robot as analogy, as a hero. The right answer is in Satoshi's heart.

vlcsnap-00524vlcsnap-00525
Thanks to the article by the bitchy reporter (I don't like her face), now head center was on the hot spot. Other doctors seemed to be happy to blame him (bureaucrats!)

vlcsnap-00527vlcsnap-00528
So now, we have another argument, so Tae-san's family has the right to pull the plug? The decision was not on the person who's closed to her, but on her estranged family. I feel bad for the assistant because she doesn't want them to pull the plug.

vlcsnap-00530vlcsnap-00531
The doctors are tight with policy and procedures. Hatano sensei was apologizing. So, which one was right?

vlcsnap-00533vlcsnap-00534
And Tae-san's starting note... full of her dreams are now on the assistant's hand... she must be really sad...

vlcsnap-00536vlcsnap-00537
Tae-san really wanted to live. She had a vision for her agency. She treated assistant, Nanami (Now I know the name) in certain way because she knew that Nanami actually had the talent and she wanted Nanami to work harder, that's why she worked hard as well.

vlcsnap-00538I won't blame her at all...









vlcsnap-00540vlcsnap-00541
Everything is related, Tachibana sensei must find out what's her dad researching on...

vlcsnap-00542vlcsnap-00543
So, we have the desert of the day, apple pie in the box? No more Hatano sensei munching on his deserts?
Nanami has calmed down, think she started to accept the reality after reading both the starting and ending notes.

vlcsnap-00545What did Hatano-sensei see in this ending note?









vlcsnap-00546vlcsnap-00547
Meanwhile, we have problem with the other patient... she disappeared!

vlcsnap-00548vlcsnap-00549
OK Engrish Engrish Engrish... so Soejima sensei was calling for investment on Komaki sensei's research?

vlcsnap-00551vlcsnap-00552
I like this scene. Komaki sensei just happened to visit the same cafe as Kyouko-chan (coincidentally?), reluctantly he changed his seat next to Kyouko-chan. Komaki sensei told Kyouko-chan that it's not his job to bring her back (hah!). Lots of people will be worried about her though.
I think the talk with Komaki sensei here did a good thing to Kyouko-chan because there's no sweetener in what he said, just as is.
He told her about the ending note that Tae-san also had and apparently she also carried the organ donor card. So she's planned ahead as well in the case if she died. Tae-san was really a great person.

vlcsnap-00553vlcsnap-00555
Main message: You're not alone.

vlcsnap-00556vlcsnap-00558
Kyouko-chan was back thanks to Komaki sensei and she's in for a surprise. Tae-san thought of her and designed the cafe for her. OMG I almost cried when I saw this.

vlcsnap-00559vlcsnap-00562
Kyouko-chan, ikite!

vlcsnap-00563vlcsnap-00564
This conversation with Satoshi's friend (the one that he's worried about). Satoshi died because he tried to help him, but unfortunately Satoshi not making it and the friend felt so guilty. Komaki sensei comfort the poor boy that it's not his fault and it's Satoshi's decision (something like that)...

vlcsnap-00565vlcsnap-00566

vlcsnap-00567vlcsnap-00568
Checking and confirming that Tae-san was brain dead.

vlcsnap-00569With mask and still pretty... sigh...









vlcsnap-00570Good bye Tae-san...









vlcsnap-00571vlcsnap-00572
One patient gone...

vlcsnap-00573vlcsnap-00574
Another patient to be saved, ganbare Kyouko-chan...

vlcsnap-00575vlcsnap-00576
She's prepared, her face showed determination...

vlcsnap-00577vlcsnap-00579
A closure for Nanami... and to move forward...

vlcsnap-00580vlcsnap-00581
Seeing head center with hair... surreal...
Hitomi was pleading to head center for (??? what!!!)
Head center declined because he's still an intern... and Hitomi is now pushing because head center is funded by her (basically) so he cannot say no.  She's pleading for head center to operate on Hatano Takumi... (what???? operate what)

vlcsnap-00582vlcsnap-00584
it's so creepy the way head center said that he won't quit...

vlcsnap-00586vlcsnap-00587
OMG, Komaki sensei... you're really going to revive your son through cloning?

vlcsnap-00588vlcsnap-00589
Another probing info from another source...

vlcsnap-00590vlcsnap-00591
So, in connection to the tunnel incident, they're pleading to Hatano sensei senior to do something... but Hatano sensei declined

vlcsnap-00592vlcsnap-00593
As per his memory...

vlcsnap-00594vlcsnap-00596
The last hope, to cure who?

vlcsnap-00597OH DRAMA!!!!



vlcsnap-00598
And this guy will be guesting in the next episode??? Gyaaaa... Look forward to it :)

[identity profile] risa-kim.livejournal.com 2013-03-11 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Thx always for your screencaps! I also have difficulties to understand this drama because there are a bunch of medical terms!! I can't wait for Takumi's past revelation! I'm so curious about it, that I can't wait for the new eps every week, only to know all the doctors' past~~

[identity profile] spsn.livejournal.com 2013-03-12 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
you're welcome!
this is the first time i'm doing screencapping for drama, n ichoose a difficult one haha...
i want to know wht takumi has that operation scar, what did they do???? hope its not anti climax though, i trust fujitv to deliver hahaaaa

[identity profile] risa-kim.livejournal.com 2013-03-12 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hehehe~~ you sure do choose the very difficult one~~ Yeah.. I really hope that it is not anti-climax... my guess, Takumi is actually the child of Saitou Hitomi~~ *I hope so* they did something to Takumi to pro-long his life *hopefully* haha~~

I miss Takumi munching on snacks too~~ and the stupid conversations in the conference~~~ things are getting heavy for this drama~~ no more entertainment~ only medical suspense~~

[identity profile] spsn.livejournal.com 2013-03-12 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
i have similar guesses but hmmmm.... i want some twist lol, hope fujitv is smart enough haaaa
yeah i miss takumi eating snacks, i think fr 9 to 11 we wont see this anymore, now all gloomy... unless fujitv hears our thoughts haaaaa

[identity profile] risa-kim.livejournal.com 2013-03-12 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder what kind of twist will they make for this one... *sending last hope producer a signal that the fans want Takumi eating a snack scene to be back*

[identity profile] spsn.livejournal.com 2013-03-12 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
i'm not sure for fujitv, but usually we can comment on the episode, like in bartender, we can comment on what we think on the drama n japanese fans are quite vocale in giving their input (besides the standard aibachan kakkoii, siteki, subarashii comment) haaaa, i'll check it out later

[identity profile] risa-kim.livejournal.com 2013-03-12 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
hooo... I c... hope the japanese fans also have the same expectation as we are~~~

too bad i dont understand japanese, only very very little of it :P
i think i will stalk your LJ for the next 3 episode if you make it again..hope you dont mind XD

[identity profile] spsn.livejournal.com 2013-03-13 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
not a problem, haaaaa
i'll be doing the rest of the episodes too coz i like to have the complete set.
my japanese is also not tgat good, i'm using both dictionary n google translate to make sense those medical terms, thats y u see i tend to skip scenes that r too heavy n i think we dont lose the main points anyway...

[identity profile] i-am-zan.livejournal.com 2013-03-12 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I do have a guess about his scar ... but not sure how wrong I will be .... because you mentioned 'benign anemia' previously with regards to the brother.


... so yeah ... what info I might have may be considered spoilerish .. but then again I could be wrong ...

ask if you want to know and I will explain. .... oooh being mysterious here ... heehehee!

Sadly I'm not as pretty as the doctor ... who is very very very very pretty! ^_~

Ahahaha it must be 3 pm ....

[identity profile] spsn.livejournal.com 2013-03-12 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm itchy with curiousity, but at the same time... I'd like to be surprised too... oh the dilemma LOL but I think I'd wait for the drama to unveil ne hahaha...

oh this doctor is very very very pretty in deed, and looking cool on every single operation scene... damn who can look that pretty with mask!

i find our pretty doctor is getting better by episodes, the first 2 episodes was like he's just there being pretty and kakkoii (not that I mind hahaha) but with good story line, his character develop and so does he as an actor (I HOPE LOL)...

[identity profile] i-am-zan.livejournal.com 2013-03-12 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh it's ok too ... because then I could be wrong too. So no worries ... just like you .. I'm itching to know the truth ... but I cannot believe how fast the episodes have come and gone. I hope that

1) the drama has a good ending that it might lead to
2) an SP movie even!!! ^_^

Yes ... it's a bit freaky coincidental that Aiba actually HAS been on the operating table before ... in RL for his lung collapse all those years ago and then when he did his butai "Kimi to Miru Sen no Yume"

Maybe that is why he can relate both to the patients ... because he has been one before, for real and otherwise. He got to see close up what doctors and hospitals are like. Also that kind of experience is not something you forget in a hurry I guess.

Once again thank you ... and oooh I cannot wait till tonight's ep is out on the comm.

[identity profile] spsn.livejournal.com 2013-03-12 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
i think you are not the only fan wanting an sp or movie coz i saw on the staff blog similar comments, so cross finger, we may be blessed w an sp or movie, yeyyyy!!!!

i didnt know he got another operation during his butai, poor thing, from the same thing? he also collapse just before beautiful world con, but thankfully no surgery ....

[identity profile] i-am-zan.livejournal.com 2013-03-13 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh no the role he was playing in his play link from YesAsia (http://www.yesasia.com/global/kimi-to-miru-sen-no-yume-dvd-japan-version/1024033569-0-0-0-en/info.html) is that he played a coma patient.

Yes I remember his collapse then ...he was so sweet apologising to everyone during the release of the 'Discover Japan' ads.

These boys work so hard, practically 24/7 sometimes I wonder that they have any time to sleep at all.

Have a good uhmmm day, afternoon ... evening. ^__^

[identity profile] spsn.livejournal.com 2013-03-13 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
haaaaa, thanks for clarifying hehe
i remember that butai.... the butai thst nobody subbing hihi, i still havent got to understand it... coz watching it take so long already, but he's really pretty there... n sweaty haha

arashi is not human, they're japan national treasure... i have no idea how they can keep up w the lack of sleep, i need at least 7 hours n still yawning in the afternoon haha

[identity profile] animecook.livejournal.com 2013-03-16 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't get why they had to go through all that "who gets to decide whether or not to pull the plug on the brain dead woman?" dilemma. Usually before a big operation with a high risk chance of death they give the patient a choice to sign a form consenting not have any extraordinary measures taken to save their lives. If she was as prepared & ready to die as all of the other materials she prepared prove her to be then she would have signed that form, so this episode made no sense to me except for Saejima. Saejima is the most practical thinker looking to improve Japan's medical problems logically.

[identity profile] spsn.livejournal.com 2013-03-16 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
hmmm i dont know, i think it's just to dramatize the whole situation... we usually sign lots of forms before any operation procedure done, but in drama we hardly see them sign any forms ne.. (unless it's Western series LOL)...
well the less emo doctors in the team are soejima & komaki only. the rest are driven by their past or pure symphaty (esp pretty doctor) hahaha... but that's what drama is all about hahaha...
