I will never understand how Sandra Oh did not win Emmys etc. every single year she was on the show. Every year, no matter what the rest of the season was like, she delivered flawless acting like this.
Reminded me of an actor's interview, like real interview, but I forgot whom and where. Q: What would you like to say to your Ex? A: I wish him well *smiles beautifully* *The interviewer sense smth off about her perfect smile* Q: When was the last time you lie? A: Just know hahaha
I can’t explain it, but something about her saying “I do not wish him well” makes me feel better about feeling that way sometimes, even though it makes me feel kind of petty
This hits so hard, I cried when I first watched it, she was the backbone of his surgeries for so long and she never got credit! And when he left she got treated like crap from Hahn and it’s so relatable
Facts and then each cardio person who was supposed to teach her didn’t like hann didn’t bc she hated Burke and then teddy bc Christina knew more than her plus Christina had the guy she wanted
The best actor on Grey's without a doubt was Sandra Oh. It blows my mind that she never got an Emmy for her work on Grey's. It also seems to me that after 10 seasons on the show, Cristina never loved a man like she loved Burke, not even Owen. It's a shame that he broke her because he was the only one who understood her.
there is always that person you love the most, the person you do everything for, the person you compromise the most with, and that's the person who will break you the hardest. You never love anyone like that again, it's not a bad thing, it's just you learn how to protect yourself.
I can't believe this had happened to me in real life. The unseen hand [brain] to his brilliance [success]. I couldn't resonate with this scene, with Cristina any more than I already do.
What makes the scene better is the fact there's no music. Grey's is notorious with choosing the perfect song for the scene but I'm glad there wasn't any here.
“i kept his secret, i nursed his pride… i was his hand and now, i’m a ghost. that’s not difficult. it’s unbearable. i know everybody is proud of him but i’m not and i do not wish him well.” i’m coming back to this after a year and my god, cristina was running around the hospital trying to keep his secret, almost abandoning her own career for the sake of his, even marrying him. but NOT ONCE, have i heard burke said ‘thank you’ from any surgery. his ego was too big for her. he could not accept that it was what had become of him and he probably never saw her be the same level as him until a decade later when he heard she was nominated for the harper avery. by the time he was doing okay, cristina was losing her identity, forgetting who she should be instead of another man’s hands.
"There, my sexual relationship, Preston Burke on paper, satisfied?" "I know this is difficult for you-" "it's not difficult, Sir, it is simple: Burke is not here, he is gone and he's the better for it, he is winning the Harper Avery award and being celebrated all over the world; that is not difficult, he's out there and I'm here, where everything is the same. I still live in his apartment, I walk the same halls of this hospital, I wear the same scrubs, even that is not difficult. This is where I am, this is where I choose to be. But Sir, when his hand was shaking I performed his surgeries, I kept his secrets, I nursed his pride; you know it, I know it and he knows it. He knows it, and yet nowhere in that newspaper article does my name appear. I am the unseen hand to his brilliance. And yet while everything is the same it's very very different: now I'm lucky if I get to hold a clamp, Hann treats me like... I was his hand and now I'm a ghost. That's not difficult, it's unbearable. I know everybody is proud of him but I'm not and I do not wish him well" This speech needed to be written down
In the episode, the nurses strike Dr. Sloan because he had one-night stands with each of them. It started to get out of hand when they refused to work with him and it impacted his ability to do surgery. The hospital's board required everyone to sign a paper listing any sexual relationships with any other hospital employee.
their whole relationship was so toxic. him pushing her over and over again to do things she clearly didn’t want to do and her being so in love with him that she couldn’t speak up for herself. he asked her to marry him after a few months, not years, months. just a horrible character and i’m glad he left.
Even though all these comments are old. Many people are saying how good Christine was when in fact, she had a lot of flaws. She dated people to further her career. Burke wanted her so much but think of all the things that she put him through. She kept pregnancy from him. Almost gotten fired because his injury and he was lying about it. Also she was being whatever about the marriage.
She was right to never sacrifice herself for men again like what did that ever get her? Not even a Fucken thank you from him or a mention in his speech ?
Unpopular opinion: Christina saying “I am the unseen hand to his brilliance” confuses me. Preston Burke was already great long before Christina came along. Sure, she helped him during the phase of his tremors and she deserved credit for that. But to say that she is the reason behind his brilliance makes me feel infuriated for some reason. Even when they were in a relationship I felt that she treated him like a child. I don’t know, this whole things just does not sit well with me.
Because despite him having left, the hospital would still be liable if any legal issues were raised regarding their relationship. So anyone in the hospital who had a relationship with a coworker had to declare it on the form to clear the hospital from any legal liability.
this show went seriously downhill after they let go of burke and the way they did it was sad as heck. all the burke and christina fans till this day still hurt by that shit i couldn't even get pass season 3... they were the BEST actors on that show not even grey, THE STAR could compare to them! she couldn't stand a chance! i liked them more than her and mc dreamy, their chemistry was on FIREEEEE makes me wonder if they messed around behind scenes as well. i love them.....
True, but much drama happened behind the scenes and they decided to let Isaiah Washington, the man who played Burke go. They did ruin his character, his and TR Knights's, the man who played George.
Bullshit!!!after all these years I stumble upon this scene and it makes me so mad.In this particular scene Cristina is a very bitter and jealous woman who was dumped at the alter.Everything that happened between Burktina was mutual.He never forced her to keep his secrets or lie for him.As a matter of fact she was the one one that said to him"no one has to know "when she found out about his tremors.Everything she is...Burke thought her..She is a badass surgeon because of Burke.Forgive me I don't agree with Cristina on this one,she blew it with Burke and he dumped her,even though he loved her so much.i am a Burktina fan.💔😡
Constance Nwaokobia I think something you didn't mention was that Burke was trying to mold Cristina to be something that she wasn't. Every step of the way in their relationship he kept pushing her to give up little pieces of herself until she found herself standing in an alter with shaved eyebrows because she was trying to please him. She was trying to be what he wanted and that's incredibly demoralizing when you think about it. You're dating someone who doesn't love you for you but for who they think you should be. She lost herself in that relationship and then he leaves her as if she meant nothing to him. And to add insult to injury he goes on to do successful things and be celebrated while she's left there feeling like a nobody. She's resentful of him and because of that she can't feel anything for him but contempt. Maybe she thinks he got everything from me but he will not get my congratulations. He won't take that from me too. It's very deep what she's going through here. Very poignant performance by Sandra Oh.
Constance Nwaokobia I agree. Christina is good because she had an awesome teacher who gave her oppurtunities to learn. She was above the curve, however, with another tutor she may have been great, but not extraordinary. She kept his secret for her benefit, so that she can perform the surgeries that HE would have walked her through. True, she is the unseen hand that aided his success, but it was a brilliant mind that guided thise hands. Even without Christina's help, Im sure that he would have been very successful, probably a little later after his tremor was corrected. Christina's problem is that she has always kept pace with Burke, a surgeon who could teach her at her pace and her level. Now that he's gone, she back in the slow lane, ahead of anyone else, but still with limits. And it is driving her nuts
Constance Nwaokobia Burke was manipulative and idealistic, everything she learned that made her the amazing doctor she is came from Teddy, she was her best teacher, not to mention Cristina was amazing for her level way before Burke. Manipulation isn’t consent. You must truly hate women to be this cold hearted and judge mental. Not all of us like to take it lying down and let our husbands control us, Burke was an asshole who much like Owen didn’t accept Cristina but created a version of her that he wanted and expected her to bend to his wants and become that, to sacrifice her self worth and who she is as a person to become who he wants. Stop romanticizing Burke. He was manipulative and a prick.
Christina is only at the level because she sleeps with all her attendees. Notice how with when Burke left she rained off all the lady Cardio surgeon. Then alone came Owen. Then she expacts them to put her in on all the surgeries they are in.
Unseen hand in his brilliance?????Get over yourself Cristina.She nursed his pride..oh please girl you need to have a seat.This scene was raw,she was still hurting.You aren't Preston Burke...she just wanted to ride on his cloaktail of success.He is Winning Harper Avery and been celebrated..you are pissed and don't wish him well.But then he decides to hand his institute to you..just like that,he could've given it anybody.He did it not out of REDEMPTION like some fans felt but out of LOVE.That man will always love her,even though he didn't marry her.Still a Burktina fan.
When his hand was injured she preformed all of his surgeries for him and let him take the credit so nobody would know. If she hadn't done that, his career might have ended either waiting for his hand to recover or he would make a fatal mistake in surgery on his own. Cristina is right.
He didn’t give her a small gesture of “thank you” at all. You may say that he gave the Institute to her as a “thank you” but doesn’t excuse him for the unfair treatment of Cristina. Also Cristina is not the type of person to ride the “cocktail” of another Doctor to success. She wanted to be the best, Burke was her role model. We see that during the time she left Seattle Grace to work at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. We see her do that when she decided to leave own to pursue her dream to become great.
Christina didn't do that to help him out, remember Burke was going to take a leave of absence. Christina was the one to come up with the plan of doing his surgeries for him. WATCH SOW ARE YOIU GUYS WATCHING?
I will never understand how Sandra Oh did not win Emmys etc. every single year she was on the show. Every year, no matter what the rest of the season was like, she delivered flawless acting like this.
true.
Ugh and she missed out again for Killing Eve
I COULD NOT have said it better. She CARRIED this show through its darkest times.
She’s nabbing them accolades for Killing Eve. It took years but she’s finally getting her due
"I was his hand and now, I'm a ghost" that's sound writing and Sandra delivered it with perfection.
and it was all downhill after she left the show.
YESS CHRISTINA... "I know everybody is proud of him but i'm not and i do not wish him well". This is the best Christina monologue of the series
Reminded me of an actor's interview, like real interview, but I forgot whom and where.
Q: What would you like to say to your Ex?
A: I wish him well *smiles beautifully*
*The interviewer sense smth off about her perfect smile*
Q: When was the last time you lie?
A: Just know hahaha
I love how Adele is relating to this with Richard. That sigh she gave was so powerful
I felt that too. There are those unspoken connections sometimes in the show that make the acting so brilliant.
I can’t explain it, but something about her saying “I do not wish him well” makes me feel better about feeling that way sometimes, even though it makes me feel kind of petty
Adele’s face when Cristina said she nursed his pride. She was relating to her. 👏
This scene is SO powerful!
That was. I need to catch up on my GreysAnatomy. Dr Yang is one of my favorite characters.
This hits so hard, I cried when I first watched it, she was the backbone of his surgeries for so long and she never got credit! And when he left she got treated like crap from Hahn and it’s so relatable
Sandra Oh should have been nominated every year
She should have won. She was great as Christina.
I will NEVER forgive Burke for what he did to Cristina. He broke her.
He saved her
Facts and then each cardio person who was supposed to teach her didn’t like hann didn’t bc she hated Burke and then teddy bc Christina knew more than her plus Christina had the guy she wanted
tbfh same.
@@jessjess8574 Christina did not know more than Teddy!
Burke might be the love of Cristina’s life, but Cristina is destined for more greatness
Sandra Oh is such a brilliant actor!
The best actor on Grey's without a doubt was Sandra Oh. It blows my mind that she never got an Emmy for her work on Grey's.
It also seems to me that after 10 seasons on the show, Cristina never loved a man like she loved Burke, not even Owen. It's a shame that he broke her because he was the only one who understood her.

This is the most iconic speech of Greg's anatomy
I can't believe this had happened to me in real life. The unseen hand [brain] to his brilliance [success]. I couldn't resonate with this scene, with Cristina any more than I already do.
What makes the scene better is the fact there's no music. Grey's is notorious with choosing the perfect song for the scene but I'm glad there wasn't any here.
when her tears fell in the right moment. feels! very realistic acting! right through the heart!
This scene is so good. What a complex and yet so believeble character Cristina is! Gonna miss her in Grey's Anatomy best times.
This was one of her best moments and it hit home
After 10 years ago, still turn I see this scene that happened to me. P-E-R-F-E-C-T!
every scene sandra oh does is brilliant........and she absolutely killed it in this scene
I love cristina yang. Powerful acting.
Her acting slays me. She's so, so good.
“i kept his secret, i nursed his pride… i was his hand and now, i’m a ghost. that’s not difficult. it’s unbearable. i know everybody is proud of him but i’m not and i do not wish him well.”
i’m coming back to this after a year and my god, cristina was running around the hospital trying to keep his secret, almost abandoning her own career for the sake of his, even marrying him. but NOT ONCE, have i heard burke said ‘thank you’ from any surgery. his ego was too big for her. he could not accept that it was what had become of him and he probably never saw her be the same level as him until a decade later when he heard she was nominated for the harper avery.
by the time he was doing okay, cristina was losing her identity, forgetting who she should be instead of another man’s hands.
My first favorite Cristina moment.
Damn. That’s some damn good acting. How the hell she has won out of 12 Emmy noms is a shame. She deserves a win for each one!
Best acting Sandra oh has done on this show! Emmy worthy!
It is in this moment that you realize it is not the man she misses, but her teacher/education
This scene is one of the reasons why she's my favorite character Her actual sentimental speeches were always some of the best.
Sandrah Oh is remarkable. Love this scene.
I think deep down she loves him more than any man she has ever loved.
+payneicecold3000 Yea, I believe that. Since he's her first real love
True.
she explicitly said to owen that she loved him more than she ever did burke
BlackGirlFly What's that have to do with Burke being her FIRST love. Don't worry I will wait.
payneicecold3000 Your comment has nothing to do with that, you stated that she loved him more than any other.
This is so touching
Amazing scene! My favorite!
“I am the unseen hand to his brilliance.” 🫡
This hit deep for me in a non-surgical way.
"There, my sexual relationship, Preston Burke on paper, satisfied?"
"I know this is difficult for you-"
"it's not difficult, Sir, it is simple: Burke is not here, he is gone and he's the better for it, he is winning the Harper Avery award and being celebrated all over the world; that is not difficult, he's out there and I'm here, where everything is the same.

That's not difficult, it's unbearable. I know everybody is proud of him but I'm not and I do not wish him well"
This speech needed to be written down
It is written! But the more the merrier! :)
Even though I agreed with what she said I didn't feel bad for her at all.
This is... pure gold.
pure brilliance
First time I ever watched this scene, I HAD TO replay it 4, maybe 5 times. I said, "Maaaan......... Sandra Oh is just stellar."
Wow Christina Yang, Sandra Oh! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yep, still makes me 😢
I always loved yang ,but as and when this scene happened, I remember how much my love for her intensified.
Serves you right Christina Yang
everytime i watch the older GA clips i couldn't fathom how it went from this quality kind of show into some very cheap kind, as what it is today..
Best scene
In the episode, the nurses strike Dr. Sloan because he had one-night stands with each of them. It started to get out of hand when they refused to work with him and it impacted his ability to do surgery. The hospital's board required everyone to sign a paper listing any sexual relationships with any other hospital employee.
What episode is it
@@lelainasmart9230 Grey's Anatomy Season 4 Episode 14 - The Becoming
One of Christina's best scenes
their whole relationship was so toxic. him pushing her over and over again to do things she clearly didn’t want to do and her being so in love with him that she couldn’t speak up for herself. he asked her to marry him after a few months, not years, months. just a horrible character and i’m glad he left.
POWERFUL SCENE
te voy a extrañar tanto, te amo cristina yang
not to be dramatic but i cry everytime i watch this scene
Me too
Me too
Me too
i know this exact feeling! 💔
How many of us are behind the scenes while someone in higher authority takes credit for our hard work & gets paid more.
my idol
I wish Burke would come back
I really Do feel for Christina
Even though all these comments are old. Many people are saying how good Christine was when in fact, she had a lot of flaws. She dated people to further her career. Burke wanted her so much but think of all the things that she put him through. She kept pregnancy from him. Almost gotten fired because his injury and he was lying about it. Also she was being whatever about the marriage.
She was right to never sacrifice herself for men again like what did that ever get her? Not even a Fucken thank you from him or a mention in his speech ?
She dated men in power for the exact reason of getting ahead.
burke broke her, but he was also the only man who understood her.
❤❤❤❤❤

which eopside
She ate them up.
WHICH EPISODE THIS IH
What episode is this please !!
Season 4, Episode 14 “The Becoming”
which eopside and seson
Season 4 Ep 14
Seems like Christina is spell bound by her old flame
Or is he really an old flame??
Will she get back with him??
Cry every fucking time!!!
Why did she have to give her sexual relationship with Burke to them again?
Because despite him having left, the hospital would still be liable if any legal issues were raised regarding their relationship. So anyone in the hospital who had a relationship with a coworker had to declare it on the form to clear the hospital from any legal liability.
Burke was the smallest man who ever lived
Okay Brent Faiyaz

Ehh.. at that time she didn't know about what Burke would do in the future. Get out of your time machine and don't spoil the show, little guy.
Christina didn't do that to help him out, remember Burke was going to take a leave of absence. Christina was the one to come up with the plan of doing his surgeries for him. WATCH SOW ARE YOIU GUYS WATCHING?
Sandra is unbeliavable, such a powerful (and feminist!) speech so powerfully delivered🔥🔥🫂
