See You Tomorrow Episode 3 Recap
> See You Tomorrow Recap
Following the success of the previous medical special, Ding Liaoliao's director instructed her to conduct a follow-up interview with Dr. Jiang Kan. Despite being in a "cold war" with Jiang Kan, Ding Liaoliao reluctantly agreed, putting on a brave face for her director. She privately expressed her frustration to a colleague, lamenting that she had been in a cold war for days with "that emotionally-stunted block of ice" and the interview would be incredibly awkward.
Her colleague Juzi, a fan of Ding Liaoliao, later reminded Jiang Kan to prepare snacks and drinks for Ding Liaoliao since she would be working late. Jiang Kan dismissed the suggestion, remarking that there was water in the dispenser, and then assigned Juzi extra thesis translation work, causing her to quickly retreat. After work, Ding Liaoliao arrived at Jiang Kan's apartment building with her equipment.
As she ascended in the elevator, her documents spilled, and a gloomy Ding Liaoliao was surprised to find Jiang Kan returning from shopping. He helped her pick up the scattered papers. Ding Liaoliao mumbled that he was considerate enough to buy himself food while she worked overtime, to which Jiang Kan simply replied it was for his health. She then questioned his repeated refusals for interviews.
Jiang Kan explained that medicine is a serious profession, and doctors must be cautious with their words to avoid negative public opinion. He pointedly asked if she knew the cost of saying the wrong thing. Ding Liaoliao countered by recalling his past comment about not needing her to cook for him, which led her colleagues to believe they were secretly married. Jiang Kan asked for her interview outline, and after reviewing it, acknowledged her professionalism, which made Ding Liaoliao proud.
She asserted that she, Ding Liaoliao, was also a "cautious and serious journalist." The interview concluded with Jiang Kan providing additional general drug knowledge. After the interview, Ding Liaoliao invited Jiang Kan to dinner, mentioning she knew a good restaurant. Passing by a convenience store, she popped in and discovered her membership points were expiring, entitling her to two keychains. Without a second thought, she gave one to Jiang Kan, hanging it on his bag.
Just as they were about to head to dinner, a man suddenly collapsed on the street. Jiang Kan immediately identified himself as a doctor and began CPR while Ding Liaoliao called 120, providing the location and the man's name, Liu Zhiguo, which she found on his ID. After eight minutes of continuous chest compressions, Liu Zhiguo's pulse and heartbeat weakly returned as the ambulance arrived. The ambulance staff noted Jiang Kan's extended effort.
Ding Liaoliao observed a cut on Jiang Kan's hand. She bought a band-aid and gently applied it, as his hand was too tired from the compressions. Walking home, Ding Liaoliao expressed her regret about missing their dinner reservation but praised Jiang Kan's heroic actions. She jokingly asked if he was secretly rich, as she'd heard that "only rich people dare to go up to save people with bare hands."
Jiang Kan shared a story about a friend who saved a life but broke the patient's two ribs during CPR and faced a large compensation claim. Ding Liaoliao found it unfair, but Jiang Kan believed a life was worth two ribs. He then asked if she was scared, as she too could have faced legal responsibilities if the patient had not survived.
Ding Liaoliao confidently stated she wasn't afraid, trusting his professionalism, and that saving a life was never a loss, only a regret if they couldn't. Jiang Kan concluded that this was the "greatest charm of medicine." Back home, as Jiang Kan went to shower, Ding Liaoliao reminded him to keep his wound dry. Ding Man saw Ding Liaoliao and Jiang Kan chatting happily and teased them about acting in an "idol drama."
Ding Liaoliao recounted Jiang Kan's rescue, then noticed Ding Man watching "Wide-angle Jiangxia" on TV. She initially thought he was finally supporting her show, but Ding Man was actually watching for Kang Geyao. Later, Jiang Kan emerged from his shower to find Ding Liaoliao asleep on the couch. He gently took the remote, startling her awake, then simply thanked her and wished her good night. The next day at the office, Ding Liaoliao shared the rescue story with her colleagues.
Hu Jiaying, after some light teasing, subtly inquired if Jiang Kan had a girlfriend, mentioning her mother's wish for her to date a doctor. Ding Liaoliao informed her that Jiang Kan did not seem to have a girlfriend. She then dismissed the idea of dating a doctor, claiming "all men are the same," and doctors are too busy, suggesting patients are their true "love." However, another colleague pointed out that without Jiang Kan, the man would have died.
During a team meeting, the director expressed strong dissatisfaction with the recent project proposals, criticizing them as lacking depth, especially compared to their successful medical and campus bullying specials. Hu Jiaying suggested a topic on "Silent Passers-by," mentioning a trending Weibo topic. She then asked Ding Liaoliao if she had recorded the recent rescue, as it would make excellent material.
Ding Liaoliao explained that her friend, Jiang Kan, was injured, and her priority was to help him, so she didn't record. Hu Jiaying called it "a pity," which angered Ding Liaoliao, who retorted that saving a life should never be considered a pity. She promised to record such events in the future if conditions allowed. The director then urged everyone, especially the producers, to go out, observe, think, and gather more meaningful and valuable content.
To facilitate his secret admiration for Kang Geyao, Ding Man continued to borrow Ding Liaoliao's car daily and pick her up from work. Ding Liaoliao grew suspicious, questioning if he liked a colleague. Ding Man deflected, claiming he needed the car for "observational studies" at other institutions and was simply being a kind "driver." Ding Liaoliao, wanting to follow the director's advice to find news material, decided to take the bus that day.
Meanwhile, Ding Man, driving Ding Liaoliao's car, caught sight of Kang Geyao getting into another man's car. He quickly took a picture and remarked on her "bad aesthetics" in a self-conscious attempt to play it cool. Ding Liaoliao then spotted Jiang Kan on her bus. She explained that she wasn't driving today because she was looking for news material, adhering to the director's emphasis on being closer to life and people for observation.
Jiang Kan mentioned he had a seminar, which was why he was getting off work late. Seizing the opportunity, Ding Liaoliao invited him to dinner again, wanting to make up for their missed reservation. At the Sichuan restaurant, Ding Liaoliao enthusiastically described it as her and Ding Man's monthly go-to spot. She teased Jiang Kan about rarely driving, linking it to his Scorpio trait of "cherishing life," similar to her father.
She then shared a humorous anecdote about her father, a fellow Scorpio, going to the hospital for an IV to reduce the swelling from a mosquito bite. Jiang Kan laughed heartily, a rare sight that delighted Ding Liaoliao. She commented on his infrequent smiles, recalling Juzi's remark about him being more intimidating than professors, and encouraged him to smile more often. She then took his picture, playfully urging him to smile for the camera.
