Episode 2
Yoo Si Jin flew off on the helicopter, as Kang Mo Yeon watched. General surgeon Song Sang Hyeon approached Kang, cigarette in his right hand. He asked what she was looking at. Kang speculated that Yoo was a Special Forces soldier, asking Song if getting picked up by a helicopter and receiving gunshot wounds were telltale signs of such involvement.

Song brushed it off, saying that the only things that hit a soldier's body were rain and snow, causing Kang's confusion to deepen further.

Mission to Afghanistan (Preparation)
Team Alpha were based at the Afghanistan-Pakistan borderland UN Peacekeeping Forces camp base.

United States forces briefed them of the mission, stating that two United Nations workers, active in the Gandamak region, were kidnapped by the Taliban. They were instructed to enter the building where the hostages were held; one team would go from the northeast, the other, from the southeast.

Team Alpha and the US Delta Force practised, under a 90-second time limit. Staff Sergeant Gong Cheol Ho set off a booby trap, causing the simulated mission to fail. He was reprimanded by Sergeant Major Seo Dae Yeong.

US Delta Force Captain Jordan flung his bayonet at a box wall, heckling Team Alpha and taunting them to "go home and train with (their) mamas". Yoo flung the bayonet back at the direction of Jordan, landing it between his legs.

Jordan flung a punch at Yoo, who lunged at his torso, tackling him down. Yoo landed punches on Jordan, who retaliated, flinging Yoo back. This gave Jordan the chance to land kicks on Yoo, who grabbed his left leg. Jordan grabbed a chair, attempting to hit Yoo. Gong, clearly shocked, said that Yoo was going to get himself killed. Seo held him back, explaining that Special Forces soldiers on joint operations sparred to find out if the other was skilled enough to be trusted.

Yoo and Jordan both landed blows, knocking one another down. Jordan grabbed a shovel, but was quickly apprehended by Yoo. Both suffered cuts and bruises. US soldiers surrounded them, as Jordan's commander instructed both men to stand down.

Surgery at Haesung Hospital
Back at Haesung Hospital, Kang spoke to Pyo in the restroom about her recent interview, musing about how she was told by the chief that her document screening scores were the highest.

Kim Eun Ji entered the restroom, taunting Kang about her chances, even though it was revealed she herself had failed the interviews four times.

Later, in an operating theatre, Kim barged in, announcing that she would be in charge of the surgery, with Kang as her assistant.

Halfway through the operation, the patient suffered tension pneumothorax. Kim insisted on administering decompression, to which Kang relented. Using a 14 gauge needle, Kim caused blood to spurt, causing minor panic in the room.

Kang ordered usage of the defibrillator, attempting to resuscitate the patient. The resuscitation was successful, as Kim was left rueing about the lost opportunity to show Kang who was a better surgeon.

After the surgery, Jang Hee Eun revealed that the father of her baby, [[Lee Chi Hoon] proposed to her. Lee approached them, asking to speak to Kang about something private. Lee feared that he had lost his own ring in the patient's body during the surgery, but was thankful to have found it in the pocket of his own gown.

In Pyo's room, Kang mused about how Lee and Jang could have conceived their baby given their busy schedules, to which Pyo reminded her that it "was a big hospital". Pyo asked about Yoo, wondering if he was a spy. Kang said "probably", while looking at the only picture she had of Yoo; his X-ray image.

Mission to Afghanistan
In Afghanistan, Team Alpha and US Team Delta entered the compound where hostages were held. A booby trap laid under wooden floorboards was set off, and shots were fired. Seo fired at a barrel, causing it to tip over roll off a wooden pallet, given him cover to roll across the room. Firing a grappling hook, one of Team Alpha's men climbed up to the roof and fired downwards, killing two Taliban kidnappers. Yoo tossed a smoke grenade through the window. He stepped towards the room, entering it and firing a volley of shots. Putting down his rifle, he whipped out his pistol, opting for a closer-ranged style of combat. Vaulting through the window, Yoo apprehended a kidnapper, shooting another in the process. Just as the two hostages were about to be beheaded by two kidnappers, the would-be killers were shot dead by Team Alpha operatives. US Team Delta members entered the room shortly after. Jordan attempted to approach Yoo and the hostages, but Yoo fired a shot on the ground, signalled to Jordan that a booby trap explosive was lying in wait. The hostages were untied, as Yoo declared the mission complete.

Kang meeting Yoo again
Stepping out of the hospital, Kang was spotted by Yoo, who came two hours early. Kang, embarrassed by the fact that she wasn't wearing any makeup, chose to hide herself.

Yoo drove Kang home, and she asked if he would order food as she was hungry. Yoo wanted to bring her out for a meal, but struck a compromise with Kang and settled for a delivery meal instead, ordering dolsot bibimbap for Kang.

As Yoo glanced at the photos on her refrigerator, he spotted an urgent notice stating that the water supply would be cut off her non-payment of bills. Without an water, Kang emerged from her room with her hair wrapped in a towel. Yoo flashed the notice paper before Kang, who rushed back into her room with two water bottles.

Shortly after, Yoo and Kang had their meal. Kang suggested getting coffee at the cinema. Yoo described the moment as the most exciting part of his life, as he was with a beautiful woman in a cinema before the lights went off. Yoo asked how old she was, to which it was established that she was older.

Yoo received a call from his commander, who had called him on another mission. Apologising, Yoo suggested that they watched the movie another time. Disappointed, Kang chose to stay in the cinema, as Yoo left.

Fight between Kang Mo Yeon and Kim Eun Ji
Lee called Kang on her phone, prompting Kang to run to the hospital. Kang rushed past Song Sang Hyeon, Ha Ja Ae, and Lee Chi Hun, as they speculated over whether or not she got professorship. Lee's hunch was positive, compared to Song, who said that Kim would be more likely to be promoted due to familial ties.

Kang questioned the rationale behind her receiving the snub, remindng hospital head Shim Sang Il that he told her she would be promoted by then.

Noting that on her first try, her youth was seen as a weakness, and on her second try, Shim let all who helped out with her research paper pass, Kang decried the hospital's selection of candidates by basing them on connections instead of competence.

Just then, Kim arrived, a newly minted professor. Chief Shim had arranged for Kang to take Kim's place on a paid television broadcast. Kim taunted Kang, to which Kang shot back, questioning her competence. Kim reached out with her right hand and pulled Kang's hair. Kang responded by pulling Kim's hair with both hands. Song, Ha, and Lee entered the room, breaking up both brawlers.

Big news for Team Alpha
Kang tried to memorise her script for the broadcast the following day, in between sobs, as she sat alone in a corridor.

Back at the base, Team Alpha placed their belongings in their bunk, in front of Yoo Si Jin's comrade and Seo Dae Young's girlfriend. Yoo praised the team for doing well, asking them to check their equipment before the impending roll call. Lieutenant General Yoon Gil Joon entered the bunk, praising them for their good performance in place of Team Bravo.

Yoon announced that in light of their contributions, he would be sending them on an eight-month "holiday", in army terms, a deployment. The team would have two weeks to meet their girlfriends and families before leaving for Uruk.

Yoo and Kang's first breakup
Yoo went to Haesung Hospital, searching for Kang. Asking Ha where she was, to which Ha showed her on the television, doing her first broadcast for Kang Mo Yeon's Body - Check.

Yoo waited for Kang outside her home. They went to dal.komm Coffee, where he apologised for leaving her. Kang asked for an explanation, but Yoo could not give one, saying that he was forbidden to do so. Kang probed deeper into what his job entailed, as Yoo kept his secrets close to his chest.

Yoo said that as a soldier who lost three friends while on duty, his role was to fight for the peace and freedom of Korea, even through death, an ideal which conflicted with Kang's vows to value and protect all life. Kang left the café, disappointed that the meeting did not go as how she had expected.

Yoo and Seo's shower scene
Yoo turned on the shower, as Seo joined in. Yoo asked if he was going to see Yoon Myeong Joo. Seo brushed it off, asking if Yoo had met Kang. Seo told Yoo that Staff Sergeant Gong Cheol Ho had mentioned that Uruk ladies were beauties. Kim Tae Hees worked in fields, while SISTARs plucked grapes.

Start of mission to Uruk
Eight months later, Team Alpha sang 멋진 사나이 as they did their cadence run shirtless, with only Yoo and Seo wearing their shirts.

The team swept mines, as Jardi and other children played in the fields. Yoo took a nap in his vehicle. Sergeant First Class Im Gwang Nam reported the discovery of an explosive, an 82mm Russian missile, fired by North Uruk during the border skirmish. Not wanting to wait for US forces to intervene, Sergeant First Class Choi Woo Geun was asked by Yoo what the former's motto was. "Go easy and all will be well, avoid hard work" Choi replied. Im was asked what hard work was, to which he responded "sending memorandums" thrice. Taking full responsibility, Yoo ordered the explosive to be detonated.

This resulted in Yoo and Seo getting reprimanded by Lieutenant Colonel Park Byeong Soo. Park ordered both to run around the camp in battle order, to which Team Alpha mocked them for getting themselves in such a predicament.

Meanwhile, Kang Mo Yeon continued to appear on her show, receiving recognition wherever she went. Kang was placed in charge of VIP patients, who had far-fetched requests like DNA testing for the legitimacy of one's grandchildren, or the ability to sexually satisfy his girlfriend.

Kang went to a Subway outlet and ordered a turkey, ham, and seafood club sandwich platter to go, with a chocolate chip cookie set, and honey oat bread to be heated up.

Kang passed the platter to Song Sang Hyeon and Choi Min Ji. Song told her that someone by the pseudonym of "Cock-a-doodle-doo Song", obviously himself, had comment on her show's website, praising her beauty, to which Kang laughed.

Kim Eun Ji took a shot at Kang, hinting that she felt Kang wasn't a doctor, to which Kang shot back, stating that Kim was given her position due to her being her father's daughter. Kim rued the fact that she gave up her position on the broadcast show, and ended up handing Kang her celebrity status.

Kang went to the rooftop, reminiscing the time when Yoo left on a helicopter, and when they had a meal together.

In Uruk, Yoo Si Jin spotted Kim Ki Beom, now a Lance Corporal in the army, digging a drain. Yoo demonstrated to Kim how to dig a drain, but ended up breaking his shovel and cutting his hand. Kim insisted on getting Yoo first aid, writing on his arm the description of his injury, similar to how Yoo did when they first met. Seo Dae Yeong stepped in, and Yoo asked why Kim was brought to Uruk.

It was then revealed that Kim was deemed a great cook, and would be making steak for Gong Cheol Ho's birthday. Kim needed wine and whipped cream, so Yoo and Seo went to a bar to get wine. Just then, Ri Ye Hwa entered the bar, asking if Valentine had what she needed. Valentine passed her a pistol, and Ri pointed it at Yoo and Seo in jest. Yoo grabbed it from Ri, pointing it at her, before disassembling it. Ri said she purchased it as a form of self protection. When Yoo probed Valentine about Ri's identity, she answered, "There are two things which we don't sell here. Women and information," before passing Yoo his whipped cream.

At Haesung Hospital, Choi Min Ji asked where Uruk was, to which Ha Ja Ae said it was a country at the tip of the Balkan Peninsula. Haesung Hospital was building an eco-friendly power plant there. Just then, hospital chairman Han Seok Won approached Kang, asking her out for dinner. It was later established that Han was a divorcee, and Song Sang Hyeon said it would be a good opportunity to go for a political marriage and advance her career.

Assault on Han Seok Won
That night, Han invited Kang to his place, where he stated that they would be having more than just dinner. Han offered her food, and even asked her to take a shower first. Kang stepped forward and slammed her handbag against the right side of his neck, causing him to fall.

The next day, Kang told Pyo Ji Soo of what happened, and feared that she would end up losing her job. At a meeting later, Han appointed Kang as the team leader of the group which would be dispatched to Uruk.

In Uruk, Seo Dae Yeong asked Yoo Shi Jin if he knew Kang Mo Yeon would be coming to Uruk, and whether she knew he was there. At Uruk International Airport, the team from Haesung Hospital stood on the tarmac, waiting for Team Alpha to arrive. Han Seok Won called Song Sang Hyeon on his phone, which was passed to Kang. Han offered Kang a way out of Uruk, to which she rebuked him, rejecting his offer, and even threatening to resign upon her return to Korea.

A Boeing CH-47 Chinook landed on the tarmac shortly after, from which Team Alpha emerged, as Yoo Shi Jin passed by Kang Mo Yeon.
