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 :)

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)
