She had become a doctor of Korean herbal medicine for Divine Beasts.
#87
The head writer turned to Kang Tae-wook with an uncomfortable expression.
“If it goes this way, the angle we originally planned…”
“…….”
Kang Tae-wook said nothing, rubbing his chin as he stared at the monitor.
In fact, most reactions and talk segments could be shaped in a certain direction through editing.
But test results were different.
‘Numbers don’t lie.’
Given the flow of the segment, Oroji and Go Yeon-hee’s treatment results would be compared side by side on screen.
It would be difficult to artificially boost Oroji through editing alone.
More than anything—
‘Go Yeon-hee performed the treatment live right in front of people, so there are way too many witnesses.’
If there was even a hint of manipulation, there would definitely be talk later.
“…….”
Kang Tae-wook fell silent for a moment.
And then.
With a resolved expression, he slowly opened his mouth.
“We can’t do it.”
“Pardon?”
Kang Tae-wook spoke while watching Go Yeon-hee on the monitor.
“We’re changing direction. Drop Oroji and push Go Yeon-hee instead.”
The head writer’s eyes went wide.
“Really? Truly? But….”
After a moment’s thought, she nodded.
“……To be honest, there’s no other answer anyway.”
She then scratched her head and murmured.
“Besides, Go Yeon-hee actually has better visuals than we expected. She just doesn’t have the big backing that Oroji has. Looking at her purely as a doctor, she’s actually more appealing.”
“More appealing?”
“Exactly. She said she’d do live treatment in the studio instead of pre-recorded—she did all that for the patient’s sake. It must have been an incredibly difficult decision for her too.”
Kang Tae-wook nodded absently.
His gaze lingered on Go Yeon-hee’s face in the monitor.
“You’re right. Looking at her purely as a doctor, Go Yeon-hee seems like the better choice.”
The head writer laughed softly.
“The treatment skill we just saw was genuinely impressive, and the fact that she has celebrity patients like Ra Bit and Yang Si-heon is good material too.”
She added her honest admiration.
“And her visuals aren’t ordinary. She’s not dressed up elaborately, but somehow she draws more attention than Oroji. Honestly, I’d believe it if you said she was a rookie actress.”
At that moment, Yun Se-rin, the writer who had been listening quietly, interjected.
“You’re right. Director Go really is skilled. She’s someone who genuinely cares for her patients.”
Yun Se-rin spoke with obvious pride.
“I visited Baek Myodang in person, and there was a Delegation Certificate from the Baek Clan and a Police Commendation Plaque hanging there too.”
“Really, Writer Yun?”
“Yes. At the time, I just thought it was interesting.”
She blinked as she recalled the earlier reaction from the doctor panelists.
“But now I realize that must have been quite exceptional.”
“Hmm~”
Kang Tae-wook’s eyes lit up with interest.
Yun Se-rin lowered her voice slightly.
“And looking at today’s atmosphere, I’m pretty sure Yang Si-heon decided to appear because of Director Go.”
“Ah ah!”
Kang Tae-wook’s face suddenly showed recognition.
“Right, when I was recruiting Yang Si-heon before, I did mention that Go Yeon-hee would be appearing.”
He let out a dry laugh.
“No wonder. The illustrious Yang Si-heon suddenly agreeing to do a variety show.”
The head writer also let out a small exclamation.
“Wow! So it was really all thanks to Director Go Yeon-hee?”
Kang Tae-wook crossed his arms and looked at the monitor once more.
Go Yeon-hee in the camera was still composed.
Without getting excited or conceited by people’s reactions, she was simply checking the patient’s condition again.
PD Kang’s mouth curved slightly upward.
“Writer Se-rin. Recommending Director Go Yeon-hee this time was absolutely the right call.”
“Right?”
Yun Se-rin’s face bloomed with a satisfied smile.

The broadcast filming was now nearing its end.
After my treatment was complete.
The MCs gathered back at the center stage for the final wrap-up.
“Alright!”
The male MC shouted enthusiastically.
“Now let’s reveal the final results!”
A graph appeared on the large screen behind.
It was a chart comparing my treatment results side by side with Oroji’s.
Han Seo-yun continued the explanation calmly.
“First, Director Oroji identified back muscle tension as the primary cause. And indeed, the electromyography immediately after treatment showed a decrease in muscle tension.”
The next graph appeared.
“However, the HRV change—the autonomic nervous system measurement—wasn’t significant, and ultimately the back pain symptoms recurred.”
The heart rate variability reading remaining unchanged meant the body still hadn’t escaped its tense state.
Oroji’s face hardened in an instant.
My treatment results appeared on the next screen.
“In contrast, Director Go Yeon-hee suggested that gastric tension and autonomic nervous system dysfunction might be causing referred pain.”
Pre- and post-treatment comparison numbers appeared prominently on screen.
The results showed clear heart rate stabilization and decreased muscle tension.
The male MC was impressed.
“Wow…. The treatment results are definitive, aren’t they?”
Han Seo-yun nodded.
“The magnitude of change in HRV is particularly significant. The stabilizing effect on the sympathetic nervous system is clearly evident.”
I looked at the MCs with a bewildered expression.
‘What? They’re taking my side this openly?’
Something felt off about the atmosphere.
Until just moments ago, they’d been subtly favoring Oroji.
Now they were almost blatantly promoting my side more positively.
“This… is unfair…!”
Apparently I wasn’t the only one caught off guard.
Oroji’s eyes widened in shock as she drew sharp breaths.
Her clenched fists were trembling with tension.
That was when.
“Ahem.”
The orthopedic panelist who’d been supporting Oroji until now cleared his throat and spoke.
“Director Go Yeon-hee, despite being young, has remarkably sharp clinical instincts.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes. Usually it’s easy to start by approaching visible muscle problems, but identifying the whole-body flow and even pinpointing referred pain was impressive. Really.”
He even gave a slight bow as he looked at me.
“Especially connecting it to sympathetic nervous system issues was quite striking. I learned a lot from you.”
The shift in stance was so blatant that I had to suppress a smile inside.
He’d acted like everything Oroji said was right until moments ago.
Now, trying to make up for that mistake, he was praising me more enthusiastically than anyone.
A veteran doctor with much broadcast experience indeed.
And so, with only Oroji left standing alone like a duck out of water, the filming wrapped up.
“Perfect~!”
“Everyone did great work!”
The staff began packing up equipment one by one.
The lights dimmed and the panelists rose from their seats.
“…….”
Only Oroji remained sitting there, dazed.
With her face flushed red and her shoulders trembling, she seemed unable to shake off the shock.
Then, the next moment.
Rooji, unable to hold back any longer, shot up and shouted.
“This is insane!!”
“……!”
The studio fell silent.
Oroji cried out in an agitated voice.
“Yang Si-heon originally goes to Baek Myodang! You told him in advance, didn’t you? This was all planned from the start!”
Her resentful gaze turned toward the production team.
“And you’re suspicious too! Suddenly changing the filming atmosphere like this? Oh, I get it. You planned this from the beginning, didn’t you?”
Oroji’s voice grew increasingly shrill.
“Making people look like fools like this? Just wait. I’m going to sue all of you!”
Everyone jumped in shock at her outburst.
“What….”
“Why is she acting like this?”
Confused murmurs spread among the staff.
That was when.
“Excuse me, Director Oroji.”
Someone pushed through the crowd and stepped forward with long strides.
It was Yun Se-rin.
The cold atmosphere she radiated was equally formidable.
“Planned? Lawsuit? I can’t let that slide.”
“And who are you—”
Oroji’s expression, about to snap sarcastically, suddenly stiffened.
Yun Se-rin faced her with an icy gaze.
“Director Rooji. You remember me, right?”
“……?!”
“I’m Kim Mi-jung’s daughter. I was your patient—the one who took Korean herbal medicine for a diet.”
Oroji’s eyes widened as she belatedly recognized Yun Se-rin’s face.
“Oh, no…! Why are you here, Yun Se-rin?”
“I’m a writer here. I was the one who called to recruit you. But you didn’t even know, did you?”
Yun Se-rin’s eyes turned cold and sharp.
“You were kind during herbal medicine consultations. Other times you don’t even remember your patients’ faces.”
Oroji’s face went deathly pale.
