Episode 2 Recap

Duty calls Shi Jin away before his date with Mo Yeon, arriving in the form of a helicopter whirring through Seoul just to pick him up. Damn you, patriotic duty! Shi Jin promises to come back and asks for a date with Mo Yeon in a week. This time not at the hospital and to watch a movie, but Mo Yeon doesn't make him promise that he won't bail on her again. If she were a lawyer rather than a doctor she would have extracted that rather pertinent promise since he's prone to fly away just like that.  

Mo Yeon watches the helicopter carrying her attraction at first sight lover boy away, presumably to shoot some shit up somewhere. She looks slightly crestfallen, not overly so to make this some sort of earth shattering separation since she just met Shi Jin, but the appropriate amount of mild disappointment at a smexy dude just eluding her grasp.

Her sunbae Dr. Song Sang Hyun walks up to Mo Yeon asking why she's up here on the roof? He wonders why Mo Yeon keeps looking skyward (he's not coming back, girl, at least not tonight) and asks Dr. Hyun if special forces soldiers in Korea have their own helicopter pickups and also gunshot wounds. Dr. Hyun scoffs at that, SK soldiers at most endure rain and snow, andven have to clean up said rain and snow afterwards. Mo Yeon says her guy flew off and Dr. Song advises Mo Yeon that he likely had a good reason.

The good reason is in Afghanistan as Shi Jin's squad is sent in paired with a team of US commandos for a rescue mission. Two UN envoys have been kidnapped by ISIS and the joint task force is to stage a rescue mission.  

 The first mission goes awry as one of Shi Jin's subordinates steps on a trip wire, but it turns out to be a mock exercise. That pisses off the US commander who insults the South Koreans with a flying knife warning and some choice insults to go home and play with mama. Shi Jin doesn't take kindly to that and sends the same knife flying back at the US commander right between his legs.
