Doctor Slump Episode 7: Park Hyung-Sik wins the case, makes his much-awaited confession

The latest Doctor Slump episode 7 began with Yeo Jeong-Woo reflecting on childhood memories. His was the only kidney bean plant in school that didn’t sprout. The incident marked Jeong-Woo’s first failure. However, he soon realized that life was the same and not everything was in his control. When he longed for a family to care for him and someone to believe in him, Nam Ha-Neul appeared.

Then, the episode picked up from last week’s incident when an injured Jeong-Woo followed his attacker. But the mystery man escaped after getting him from the car. He headed to the police station to look at the CCTV footage. Meanwhile, Ha-Neul discovered a spy camera in his house and realized he already found many more in his clinic. Ha-Neul took him to the hospital and cried at Jeong-Woo’s situation. She realized it wasn’t just a petty scandal about the surgery gone wrong, but someone was trying to attack Jeong-Woo.

Dr. Bin Dae-Young updated himself about Jeong-Woo’s third hearing the following day. He met with Lee Hong-Ran, and they reflected on their previous meeting. Meanwhile, Ha-Neul stole the iron and food from her house to feed Jeong-Woo, who was preparing for his trial. As Ha-Neul was ready to join him, her brother revealed that he’d seen a man following Jeong-Woo as he moved into their apartment.

Ha-Neul informed Jeong-Woo and left to accompany him for the trial. But he was gone. The prosecution was delayed only because Jeong-Woo remained absent from court. As his lawyer tried to postpone it, he appeared with a pen drive containing the evidence. Jeong-Woo met with his assistant nurse, Kang Jin-Seok, who was also the mystery man. The casino heiress’ uncle was the culprit as he tried to inherit her fortune and killed her out of anger.

Kang Jin-Seok was a scapegoat for a similar medical accident that Jeong-Woo faced. Out of habit, he installed cameras inside Jeong-Woo’s clinic and house to prevent it from happening again. The same cameras caught the culprits adding anticoagulants to the heiress’ IV and even bribing a nurse to attach the same drip during the operation, leading to the heiress’ death. Although Jeong-Woo won the case, he took some time to recover.

People who accused Jeong-Woo now wanted to use him and his case to promote their products. Meanwhile, Ha-Neul’s family started frying meat on the rooftop as an excuse to call Jeong-Woo. Ultimately, he came out and shared a meal and drinks with the family. They helped comfort him in their silly ways.

Meanwhile, Dr. Bin Dae-Young also revealed to LEe Hong-Ran that he cared about Jeong-Woo, although they had a falling out. When he called Jeong-Woo, Ha-Neul’s mother picked up the phone and scolded him for showing concern this late. By the end of the episode, Jeong-Woo asked Ha-Neul to accompany him for a drink. He discussed having hit rock bottom but being able to survive only because of Ha-Neul’s support.

Jeong-Woo called him his medication, compared her to a candy in a salted pond, and eventually confessed to liking her. Throughout the rest of the night, a drunk Jeong-Woo continued to express his feelings for Ha-Neul. This made her realize how lonely he’d been all his life. At the end of the episode, she reciprocated his feelings as the two held hands under the moonlight.
