okay guys. so i want a season 3 of romantic doctor teacher kim because it’s so damn good for both seasons and credits to the writer.

i really want the season 1 cast members to join back in season 3 or make a cameo in season 2 which only in-beom. but damn, i really hoped the 4 doctors, dr kang, dr yoon, dr do and dr woo would come back.

i feel like ending with a scene where the 4 doctors are going back for awhile and took the road to the hospital and met a car accident like season 1′s ep 10. then they went to help out with their knowledge, having their blue-tooth ear piece to talk to each other easier like calling a groupchat (doctor john, ep 6 or 8. i can’t remember) and using tags (inspired by code blue) on which stage of danger based on the patient’s condition. (green/yellow - safe, red - danger, black - expired.)

then all of the victims will be sent to doldam per request by the doctors and kang dongjoo would be the first one to arrive with his patient while performing cpr into doldam and giving orders. the people in doldam were shocked and relieved, then nurse oh recovered from the shock and quickly helped them which led to the new doctors working in doldam confused as seeing nurse oh taking orders from an unknown person and nurse park also started to prepare.

slowly, all of the 4 doctors arrived in doldam with dr jung over there at the accident site to aid those in the green or yellow zone which are the safety zone. kang dongjoo just tell master kim to work on those who are slightly more severe as there are 4 patients who has to go for operation.  

the season 2 doctors and the season 1 doctors would be paired up together, so dr kang dongjoo would be with dr seo woojin, dr yoon seojung would be working with dr cha eunjae, dr do inbeom would be with dr bae moonjung and dr woo yeonhwa would be working with dr yoon areum.

all the operations are be successful and they greeted master kim properly with the rest of the working members in doldam, master kim looked really proud of them, sharing the season 2 doctors about them and they all (the 4 doctors) announced that they’re going to be back (since kang dongjoo and dr yoon seojung would be back next year.) and took a picture.

the first one, called “dragon hunter” is a lovely 150x75cm piece by super master artist kim jung gi.  you can buy it HERE for 500 euros.  pricey, but might be worth it?  or if not, get something more affordable (the second lovely print) HERE.  it’s called “tiger’s teaching” and is 30x40cm.  see more random prints and books and other stuff for sale HERE.

THE MARTIAL ARTS OF TIGER KIM’S ACADEMY 

Tiger Kim’s Academy since 1976, has incorporated the three major Korean martial arts of Taekwondo, Tang 
Soo Do and Hapkido. Founded by Grandmaster Tiger Kim, the school reflects his many years 
of diverse martial arts training. 

Taekwondo and Tang Soo Do are the main components and the primary focus at Tiger Kim’s which certifies 
black belts throughout the world from its headquarters in Seoul, Korea (The Kukkiwon). 

Literally, Taekwondo means “the way of the foot and the hand”. The History and Traditions of Taekwondo can 
be traced back into ancient times in Korea. Many of the long-standing traditions are still upheld at Tiger Kim’s 
Academy. At this academy, students learn various forms (Poom Sae) from the arts of Taekwondo and Tang Soo 
Do. They also learn self-defense and sparring techniques which are practiced with a partner. During 
Taekwondo class, each student wears a white uniform (Do Bok) with the belt of their rank. Beyond the physical 
techniques, students also learn the traditions of respect and discipline. 

Taekwondo Promotion Rank Testing is held every three months (March, June, September and December) 
normally the first week of the month. Testing gives the students the opportunity to increase their rank by 
performing physical techniques, and demonstrating knowledge via a written and or oral test. Testing is not only 
to increase rank, it is also a learning experience designed to increase the students’ knowledge. With dedication, 
perseverance and commitment towards one’s goad; a Black Belt can be earned within two and a half years by 
an average student. 

Physical fitness and knowledge of self-defense are only part of the rewards of be coming a Black Belt. One also 
learns confidence, discipline and self-control. A well-trained martial artist does not use his skill carelessly or 
out of fear, but instead uses it only when he or she has no other choice. Resolving a situation without conflict 

is the highest of ideals and achievements. 

Taekwondo is an Official Olympic sport with competitors in on over 200 countries. It is recognized by the United 

States Taekwondo, United States Olympic and International Olympic Committees. Taekwondo is an Olympic sport. 

Competitors must still observe the traditions of respect, self-control and good sportsmanship. Because Taekwondo primarily uses foot techniques and incorporates traditional values during competition, it was selected as an Olympic sport. 

Tang Soo Do is another part of Tiger Kim’s Academy, many of the techniques and philosophies of Tang Soo 
Do are the same as those of Taekwondo. Tang Soo Do training also involves the practice of various weapons 
for increased concentration, exercise and use in competitions and demonstrations. For this reason, Black Belts 
trained by Grandmaster Tiger Kim and Master Tiger Kim are qualified as Black Belts by the Tiger Kim’s Academy, World Taekwondo Federation, Kukkiwon in Seoul, Korea and the World Taekwondo Moo Duk Gwon. 

Hapkido is also taught as part of Tiger Kim’s Academy curriculum. Hapkido is taught as a self defense when 
you cannot kick or when you’re being grabbed. Hapkido incorporates Taekwondo techniques as well as 
Taekwondo blocks, strikes and kicks. The Hapkido arsenal includes grabbing, throwing, falling, jumping, and 
joint locking techniques. 

During class, students wear white uniforms. Black Belts can wear black uniforms and Instructors can wear red 
uniforms. The colored uniforms deserve high respect as Instructors train over ten years before they have a class 
to teach.
