MJ sure didn't have any trouble getting JY info

I think this was two episodes ago, but did anyone notice how Min-joo had no trouble getting Ja-young’s information from that nurse at the hospital. I understand that Min-joo is the president of a big corporation and is highly praised but that shouldn’t create leeway in everything she does. Plus, the lady at the hospital didn’t even know of Min-joo’s rank status ( which is president of sierra parks) and didn’t question her or ask for Id. I just though it was a bit simple for Min-joo and Young-joon had to go through the trouble of tracing the number that Na-young gave him to get Ja-young’s location and all Min-joo did was up to the hospital desk and ask politely if she could please get Ja-young address. Moreover, I understand it was all to keep the plot going but I still think it’s not safe. Plus, it’s just a drama so they can get away with things

I don't know how much the rules of confidentiality in Korean health care are like the ones here, but in the US, Min-joo never would've been able to get the address. It wasn't a nurse either. It was some kind of desk clerk...maybe at the information desk. I have to assume either the rules about such things are a good deal more lax there, or the person who gave out the address messed up...did something she shouldn't have. It didn't seem to me Min-joo had to give any personal information, show an ID or use her clout as Sierra Park Resorts president. She just asked for an address and waited while the clerk looked it up. It certainly should not have been done. There are people who could be interested in kidnapping a newborn baby; if they saw a birth notice in the paper or hung around the nursery to spot a baby that looked cute and heard someone mention the family's name, if they were crafy enough, they could use the name to track down the family's home.

OTOH, I was surprised at the portrayal of Young-joon having any difficulty getting an address from a phone number. (For one thing, I would think the address as well as the phone number would have been in Grandma's book, and YJ could've asked Na-young for it) But here, there are services that cross-list phone numbers to name and addresses, and there are web sites that do this too. In a technologically advanced society like Korea, it's hard to believe they wouldn't have similar systems. It's harder for me to believe he could've gotten this information from the police than from the internet or some service....unless he had a friend on the force or something.
