What's up? What brings you by?
- Father. - Dad.
What? What's up?
Dad!
Hey, what's the matter with you?
Dad, please don't be ill.
Hey, what's with you?
Father.
We know.
What? What are you talking about?
Dad.
I heard you have cancer.
What? Come again?
I saw you reading a book about cancer...
and overheard your conversation about a hospital room on the phone.
Both Sang Baek and I noticed that you've been looking fatigued,
and we've been worried about it.
Gosh, no!
It's not something you should hide.
I should know. Your children have the right to know.
Ms. Kang didn't seem to know anything about it either.
You must have been so stressed out alone.
My goodness.
Father, Sang Baek is right. You need to tell us what's going on.
Is it advanced-stage cancer?
And are you being treated?
No. Let's just go to the hospital together.
We'll ask the doctor directly and find out what's going on.
No! I don't have cancer.
It's not me.
Ms. Kang is ill.
What?
How...
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 105)
Let's sit down.
Come on. Sit down.
You too.
Okay, you can sit here.
It's nothing serious.
I know that the word "cancer" is scary.
I totally know how you must be feeling right now.
But it's nothing to be scared of. That's why I didn't tell you.
Well, I did think it might happen down the road.
I had ovarian cancer years ago. I got it treated,
but it came back...
and has spread to the intestines.
Then it's very serious.
No. Then I wouldn't be able to walk around like this.
Look at me. Do I look ill?
Please don't hide it from us.
Be honest with us.
I'm not hiding anything.
I'm telling you that is why I started receiving treatment.
I have no energy left after each treatment session.
It's no surprise, with all the chemo drugs injected.
But I'm usually fine in just a few days.
Mr. Geum has been stressed out,
trying to take such good care of me,
so this is probably more tiring for him.
Then...
Then what can we do to help?
To help me?
Just eat well, sleep well,
work hard, and live a good life.
Ms. Kang, please.
I mean it.
What I'm saying is, don't stress me out.
I want to focus on looking after myself,
so don't add to my stress.
Just make sure...
everyone in your family is doing well and happy.
Right, Mr. Geum?
Yes.
The treatment...
Will you be cured once the treatment is completed?
Of course. I had fully recovered in the past as well.
It's just...
It came back because I got unlucky.
Each time it comes back, I'll get rid of it.
That's just life. It's not a big deal at all.
No, it shouldn't come back after this.
Right, it won't.
It'll be completely gone.
Once the tumor becomes smaller, I'll undergo surgery.
What about the girls? Do they all know?
No, they don't.
And it should stay this way.
Promise me.
This stays between us.
But you'll need help from them. How could we...
My daughters are such cowards.
When I first discovered my cancer,
they were even more stressed out than I was.
It was crazy. They kept bawling their eyes out.
Gosh, that made my pain even worse.
You know what it's like...
to see your child upset.
Since you're both parents, I'm sure you understand.
I'll tell them soon.
Once my treatment is completed,
I'll say, "This happened, but I'm good now."
I'll tell them myself after my treatment is over.
Please pretend you know nothing about this.
Actually, just think that you never heard any of this.
Okay?
Auntie Geu Roo, I want this too.
Hey! Your mom already put a ton of things in the basket.
Come on. Don't be so cheap. You said this was on you.
Every time I offer to treat you guys,
you act like you have no shame whatsoever.
You have the highest-paying job.
- I want this. - Hey, Mr. Geum.
Ask for a higher retainer fee next time,
so you can treat me for a change.
Sure, sounds like a plan.
Thank you for your advice.
Hey, Hye Jin. What's up?
What? I told you. I can't do it.
What? My goodness.
Why don't you keep looking?
I'll do it if you really can't find anyone.
- All right. - Hye Jin? What's going on?
It's her mother's 70th birthday next week.
She wants me to sing at the party.
A 30-minute trot medley.
You should do it. You're a good singer.
You sang so well at Min Ah's wedding.
Gosh, thanks.
But I'm quite shy.
Leave her be. She's saying that now, but she'll go there...
and shake the tambourine like this.
Hey, you have to sing at Mom's 70th birthday party.
You'd have to do it professionally then.
It's a long time away. Sol will sing at Mom's party.
It's not a long time away. It'll happen in five years.
What? Is Mom already that old?
Yes. We need to start saving up for it.
We should throw her an amazing party.
What's this party for?
Oh, we're talking about Grandma's 70th birthday party.
Fine. I'll sing at her 70th birthday party.
Sol will sing when she turns 80,
and we'll sing together when she turns 90.
What about Grandma's 100th birthday party?
We'll have your kid sing, Sol.
- My gosh. - That'd be my grandkid!
- Grandma! - My goodness.
Gosh! No, my baby!
But don't you think her daughters should know?
They'll be upset if they find out later.
No, it'll be worse than that. They'll be so hurt.
That's their problem.
What?
They'll be hurt, but it's something they need to deal with.
Ms. Kang can't afford to worry about that right now.
Like she said, she's struggling to focus on looking after herself,
but if her daughters, Ga Eun, and Sol find out,
they'll be so upset and worried.
And seeing that will be so painful for her.
Yes. It was just her and the girls relying on each other for years,
so their bond is deep.
They grew up without their father, so she was their everything.
Let's just pretend we know nothing about it.
I think that's all we can do for her right now.
Okay, let's do that.
Her treatment will go well,
and she will fully recover.
Medical science has advanced so much, you know.
And we'll do everything we can to look after her.
She'll recover, of course.
Yes, she will.
Honey.
Why do I feel this way?
I don't feel less anxious than when I thought it was my dad.
Seeing her talk with a smile on her face...
Me too.
I feel the same way, honey.
I was afraid my tears wouldn't stop once I started crying,
so I didn't let myself cry.
I'm sorry.
No, don't be.
We couldn't let them think...
that you had cancer.
They won't tell anyone.
They're both very thoughtful.
Mr. Geum.
Let's go somewhere fun this weekend.
What? Where do you want to go?
You know,
I have another chemotherapy session scheduled.
So before that, when I'm still feeling okay,
which is now,
I want to go somewhere fun with the kids.
Sure, we can do that. But won't you be tired?
I want...
to see you smile.
Okay, let's go. We'll take everyone.
A camping trip? Really?
Yes, I've already booked and organized everything,
so just come.
What? You said you don't like camping.
You said it has charms that can't be explained in words.
You've been catering to me since we became a couple.
And I've hurt your feelings.
I'll make it up to you today.
This will be your dream date.
I'm so moved, first thing in the morning.
- But it's not in the mountains. - Then where are we going?
Let's stay in the city.
I don't want to camp in the woods. I'm scared of bugs.
Okay, baby steps. Deal.
Okay. We can rent all the equipment, so don't bring anything.
And I'm going to prepare all the food.
- You'll prepare the food? - Yes.
- Can I really trust you? - Yes.
Nice, okay. Then I'll go empty-handed.
- Sounds good. - I'm so excited.
What? Today?
Yes, we should all go together.
We've said we'd take a family trip together,
but a couple of you were always unavailable.
I know that you guys are all busy,
but you need to be more attentive to your mother.
You and Mr. Geum have been busy taking trips together.
Don't blame us.
Yes! Those trips...
made me want to go on a family trip with all of you.
You have to come.
All of you.
Okay. I'm on board, of course.
- Are you excited too? - Do you want to go surfing?
- Really? - Let's go surfing.
- Can we go surfing? - What about you, Geu Roo?
Are you not available today?
I am, of course.
But where are we going?
An amusement park. Let's go to an amusement park.
- Goodness. - Please, Sol.
We'll waste the whole day waiting in line.
How about a picnic in the park? We can pack lunch.
Come on. Packing lunch will tire us out.
How about an activity we can do together? Like bowling.
I can't bowl.
How about camping?
Camping?
Yes, but not in the mountains.
It's not far from here. It's more like glamping.
As in, glamorous camping.
It's equipped with all the camping supplies.
What do you think?
That sounds great. We can do a barbecue.
- Yes. - It'll be easy for all of us.
But don't people stay overnight when they go camping?
I have to work tomorrow,
and the hair salon is also open tomorrow.
No, not at all. It'll be a day trip.
Some people just go there to do a barbecue in the evening.
- Really? - Great, then it's perfect.
Let's go.
- Sounds good. - Sounds good.
- Let's go! - Nice.
- I'm so excited. - I'll grill the meat.
- Do a good job. - Okay.
I'm sorry. It was brought up out of the blue.
Well, I am disappointed.
But if you're going with your family...
We have to take a proper trip together next time.
Okay, then we'll go camping in the woods.
All right. I'll call you when I'm back.
Okay.
Go! Knock him off!
Yes, that's it. Go, Heon!
I knew Heon would win.
Know your place, okay?
Darn it. Let's try with the left arm.
Hey, calm down.
Come on!
You silly goose. You can try 100 times.
Go, do it.
Ready, go!
Go, Heon! Knock him off.
What are you waiting for? Go!
Hey!
See that?
It's a tie.
No, let's try one more time.
- With the left arm. - No, the right arm.
- You wish. - Hey, enough.
What are you guys doing?
We have a busy day ahead. Don't waste your energy.
Let's go, kids.
I went easy on you.
No, I went easy on you.
- Gosh, be quiet. Let's go. - Come on, guys.
We'll do it again later.
I was stepping out to talk to you guys.
I know the restaurant is open today,
but I wanted to ask you just in case.
Mom wants to take a family trip. Can you join us?
We're in emergency mode right now.
We have an order for 100 lunchboxes.
- Too bad. - Really?
Gosh, it is too bad. Please join us next time.
Okay, we should get going.
- Okay. - Enjoy the trip.
- Have fun. - Will do. Have a good day.
- Thank you. - Bye.
Hey, Da Bal.
Yes?
Enjoy the trip.
Take good care of your mother.
Yes, I will.
He's just sad we can't go.
It'd be so nice if we could join you as well.
We'll definitely join you next time.
Have fun.
- Thank you. Have a good day. - Thank you.
My gosh, it's such a pity.
We have a shoot today.
No, not the drama.
It's for the poster. We also have an interview.
Gosh, I'm so sad that I can't go.
Next time, we'll make sure to join you.
Okay, Mother.
Have fun so you can unwind and de-stress.
Okay.
Why? Are they going somewhere?
Yes, they're taking a day trip today.
Gosh, why today of all days?
Well, we'll get busy soon,
so we wouldn't be able to go even if it wasn't today.
So are we the only ones who can't go?
No. Sang Baek's family can't go either because of the restaurant.
It'll be just Mother's family.
Where are they going?
Why? Do you want to go?
Well, if we end early.
Although that's not likely.
What's gotten into you?
You never liked getting together with the family.
I thought it'd be nice to take a day trip before we get busy.
Okay, I'll ask her.
And she always gives us side dishes.
- We should get her something too. - What?
That's why I bought her those clothes last time.
She wears them often. She said she really likes them.
You did that just once. And that's it?
You always talk about how favors must be returned.
What? Why do you care so much?
Oh, have you finally fallen for Mother's charms?
I just want to return the favor, that's all.
- Let's leave in 30 minutes. - Okay.
My gosh, look at him turning over a new leaf.
Honey, is that what you're wearing today?
How about we wear matching outfits today?
- It's nice here. - My gosh.
My, it's so nice.
This looks great.
- Oh, my. - Look at that.
- Look, over there. - We're here.
Unpack and make yourselves at home.
- My gosh. - It's so nice here.
It's beautiful here. Mom, let's take photos.
- Shall we? We'll be right back. - Go on.
Thanks for bringing us here. It's really nice here, Geu Roo.
It's my pleasure. It wasn't hard to find this place.
Do you want to drink something cold?
Sure, sounds good.
- You can sit over there. - Okay.
- All right. - Yes, let's sit down.
This is perfect.
Right?
- Just a moment. - Okay.
- What did they bring? - Oh, boy.
The air is so clean.
And look at the clear sky.
- I know. - It's so nice here.
I bet you booked this place for a date with Mr. Hyun.
What?
My gosh. How did you know?
It's so obvious. You were never interested in places like this.
Too bad. Your date plans went down the drain.
An overnight date!
No, we were going to come here just for the day.
- Whatever. - It's really nice here.
Did you always like going to places like this?
I am becoming interested.
I see.
She was going to come here with her boyfriend.
Oh, I see.
My gosh. Mr. Hyun must be so disappointed.
You little...
No, Ga Eun didn't tell me.
I saw the two of you together.
Yes, you were bound to be caught.
You two made it so obvious.
What? Where did you see us?
Darn it.
Just...
- You know what to do, right? - Yes.
I won't tell anyone.
Take these to them.
That looks so nice!
Just like that.
Good. One more.
Nice.
- Do the photos look good? - Of course.
You look great in every photo.
- It'd be fun to ride a bike here. - Yes.
It would've been nice to have Yi Jae and his dad here.
What? Right.
Come on. This is a family trip.
I know, but still. Let's come here with them next time.
Do you like spending time with Yi Jae and his dad?
Yes. His dad is very knowledgeable,
so he can answer all my questions.
And he's sweet.
And I love playing with Yi Jae because he's my friend.
That's true. Then let's hang out with them next time.
- Okay. - Sol!
- What? - Isn't that Yi Jae's voice?
Look!
My gosh, Da Bal.
My goodness!
What a coincidence.
Hello.
What are you doing here? What brings you by?
This is our little family trip.
I felt sorry for us that we were staying at home...
with nothing to do on the weekend.
It's crazy that we ran into you here.
Yes, what a coincidence.
It's so good to see you though.
We wanted to invite you along...
but didn't because we didn't want to bother you on the weekend.
This was meant to be.
Yes, I think so too.
What a coincidence, seriously.
Out of all the campgrounds, you picked this place.
Right? I can't believe it either.
Should we join you since we ran into you here anyway?
Yes, of course! Take the spot right next to us.
Mr. Choi, Yi Jae. Unpack right next to us.
Yes, come on.
My gosh, the spot right next to you happens to be available.
- Nice. - My gosh.
- What a nice coincidence. - I know.
- Oh, wait. - I can't believe you did this.
You should've called me at least.
We were supposed to come here together, so I was sad.
I can win some brownie points with your mother and Mr. Geum.
Brownie points? Why? What for?
Come on. It'll be useful one day.
If not, that's okay too.
I'm not good.
I got sick of it in the military.
- What about you? - Well...
Me too. In the military, everyone said I had slow feet.
Don't worry. You can count on me.
Da Bal, you rock.
I'm counting on you. I'll receive.
They're trying to come up with a strategy.
Father, smash them all!
You go for it.
You confidently suggested this,
so I wanted to see how good you are.
I am pretty good,
but I'm sure you're way more experienced than I am.
What about me? I've never played this before.
You'll serve, which is the most important position.
Just hit the ball with the top of your foot...
Don't worry.
Just try a few times, and you'll learn.
I'll save the ball no matter what, so just go for it.
- Okay, I'll try. - We got this!
We're counting on you. Here, let's go.
Are you guys ready?
- Mr. Geum, move back. - He's yawning.
- Let's show them. - Bring it on!
- Nice. - Hey, your foot!
- Da Bal. - Pass it over here!
Mr. Hyun is such a good guy.
Knowing he lives upstairs, I didn't want things to get awkward,
so I tried not to bring this up.
Don't bring it up, Mom.
Keep listening.
- Nice! - Let's go!
You two work so closely together but have no feelings for each other,
so that's that. Right?
That's right. Nothing will ever happen between us.
Then how about Da Bal?
What?
He always plays with Sol and Yi Jae,
so he must like kids.
Do you not think it'll work?
Because he's never been married?
Well, that doesn't matter.
But there's Ji Wan too. What about him?
Right, Mr. Choi would be good too.
He's such a good catch.
If they start seeing each other,
I'll carry him on my back to thank him.
But he's always too serious and stubborn.
You never know what someone's really thinking.
But clearly, he's not interested in getting married again.
I can tell that much.
We shouldn't bark up the wrong tree.
With Mr. Choi, it'll never work.
Why are you chuckling? Anyway, that said,
can you try to set Da Bal up with Mr. Hyun?
It'll be very hard for her to meet someone new.
We should look around and...
Great job! I'm cheering for the winner!
Don't change the topic.
Try to set them up, okay?
My gosh, everyone's having so much fun.
- Go, team! - My gosh!
That was awesome!
Yes, Mr. Geum seems to be having a great time too.
My gosh, he's competitive.
I'm so glad we're here.
I wish...
every day...
was like this.
Maybe not every day, but we'll come here again soon.
Had I known you'd love it so much, we would've done this sooner.
I'm sorry.
We'll come back.
We'll do this often.
- At one o'clock. - Are you ready?
- My gosh! - Nice.
- Gosh! - Oh, no!
- You stay put. - Hey!
- Oh, no! - What are you doing?
- Darn it. - Come on, Mr. Choi!
You must be tired. Lie down.
No, don't worry. I'm not tired at all.
It was great to get some exercise for once.
Right. You looked so excited.
Don't pick on Mr. Hyun.
We had so much fun thanks to him.
He even brought all his camping equipment...
and grilled the meat for us, you know.
Right, he's a good kid.
I'll be honest though. Most men...
would find him too smooth.
No, he's friendly, sociable,
and nice.
Right.
I just thought he was overly friendly,
but based on what I saw today... You're right.
By the way, how are you feeling?
You walked a lot today.
No, I was just busy watching you guys.
I feel great. I'll sleep like a baby tonight.
Really? Me too.
I'll turn off the lights. Lie down.
Okay.
No.
This can't be happening already.
Dear Lord...
Please...
No, not this soon.
I still have a lot to do.
With my kids...
I want to live with them for many more years.
No, please...
I can't leave him behind all alone.
I can't.
Please make this pain go away.
Please, dear Lord. Make this pain go away.
