She said she'd never drink again.
She promised me last week that she wouldn't drink again.
Adults drink from time to time. My parents drink too, you know.
But not like my mom. They don't drink that much.
I didn't want you to know about this.
What is this, seriously?
I'm so annoyed right now.
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 94)
I'm coming in.
No. Who says you can?
Why not?
I told you. I'm just giving you a chance...
to prove that you've turned over a new leaf.
Did you think things would go back to how they were right away?
What? This is not fair.
You've decided to forgive me,
so you should love me again.
What is this? Are you trying to punish me or what?
Since when did you think...
you were being punished when we slept in separate rooms?
You started it after all.
Darn it, you're really...
What? "Darn it?"
No, I mean...
So? Until when?
Until I'm convinced that you reflected on what you did...
and are going to change.
Am I the only one who's at fault here?
You did nothing wrong?
Did I ever mistreat you?
Goodness, fine. You're totally innocent.
I'm speechless. How did I ever wrong you?
Forget it.
Just say it now. Don't complain later.
You only loved me at the beginning.
What?
Darn it. I didn't want to say this because it's childish.
I'm only bringing it up because you told me to.
Okay, go ahead.
You hurt me a lot too.
Sandwiched between my two brothers,
I was always a nuisance to my parents,
and everyone else called me mean.
When I told you my parents neglected me growing up,
you said you felt bad for me...
and that I'd be number one to you.
You said I was the only one for you.
That's how you seduced me.
What are you talking about? That was ages ago.
At first, you loved me so much and always wanted to see me.
You said those things all the time.
I used to hate stuff like that,
but you made me get used to it.
So I thought, "I'm everything to this woman."
You got me head over heels.
Then what did you do?
You started neglecting me as soon as In Hyeok was born.
I wasn't even your number 2 or 3.
In your world, there was In Hyeok and the rest.
And I became one of "the rest."
Goodness. I'm scared someone would hear this.
Are you competing against your own son?
Of course, my child would be my priority.
Did I have to look after you when you could eat and sleep on your own?
Right, and I understood.
I'm not an idiot.
"Raising a child is a lot of work. Of course, In Hyeok comes first."
"It's okay even if she doesn't cook for me."
When I came back home from work after filming three days in a row,
and even when you never looked me in the eyes,
I understood everything, thinking you must be stressed out.
But it continued even when In Hyeok was no longer a kid.
In fact, it only got worse.
You lashed out at me when I ate the banana you had left out for him.
To you, I only existed to pay your credit card bills.
So how could I be nice to you?
You coddled him, but he grew up to be a stupid brat.
After spending a fortune to send him abroad,
I thought you'd come to your senses...
and start cherishing your husband again.
But you suddenly said you wanted to get back into acting...
and started doing all sorts of embarrassing things.
- Why are you laughing? - Goodness.
I can't believe how childish you are.
I see. Is that why you were so against it?
Because I wouldn't be able to cook for you...
or take care of you all the time once I started working again?
You didn't like that?
This is why I say that you only care about yourself.
You want to be the only one getting all the love,
and you never want to lift a finger.
If you thought even just this much about me...
I said that for your sake, because I cared about you.
What was it like when you were an actress?
You cried your eyes out multiple times a day.
You said you were afraid of people and couldn't make eye contact.
You couldn't sleep or eat.
I didn't know this at the time,
but I think you had panic disorder back then.
Because of all the rumors and scandals that haunted you,
you nearly fainted a few times on set.
Then we got married, and you retired.
That was when you said, "Now, I can breathe."
"I can sleep and eat now."
It took three years for you to recover from that.
And what happened...
when you went ahead and got back into acting?
How hurt were you by all those mean comments?
- That's... - You're not...
mentally tough enough to survive in the industry.
I can't see you go through that and break down again.
I know that you still think I'm a jerk,
but not even the biggest jerk on this planet...
would push his wife into a fire pit.
I can't see you go through that.
Okay, I understand what you're worried about.
But I'm not the naive, fainthearted Oh Min Hee I used to be.
I can get through it now.
So just help me, okay?
If you don't want to help me, just leave me be. Please?
In Seo.
- Come and eat. - Okay.
Did you make fried rice again?
Today, it's mushroom fried rice.
Mushroom fried rice?
Is the mushroom aroma too strong?
It's not as tasty because I wanted to cook a healthy meal.
How is it?
The aroma is a bit strong, but I like the texture.
I see.
But I think a bit of spiciness would make it tastier.
- Really? - How about some black pepper?
- Black pepper? - Yes.
Okay, hold on.
Here.
Try it now.
Thank you.
- It's much better. - Is it good?
Yes, it's delicious.
Fried rice again? Enough, seriously.
I need to be perfectly prepared before the grand opening.
I'm almost there. Try this.
Dad, I want food too.
You guys got home late last night.
What? Oh, we took a long walk.
You told me to exercise.
Heon only has afternoon classes, so he's going to sleep in.
Wait, are we having fried rice again?
Hang in there just a bit longer.
Try it. It's good.
What are you doing here?
- Mother, here! - Hey, what's going on?
Oh, no.
Gosh, what do I do?
Do you want some tea?
What? Sure.
This tea smells so good.
Lucky you. My daughter is so good to you.
Yes.
How's Min Ah? Is everything okay with her?
Yes, of course. She's doing well.
She goes out for walks with Heon to exercise.
And for her dad's business...
She says she wants to help him as a future business major.
She's reading her textbooks in advance.
She's keeping busy.
Hold on.
Did you drink again?
No.
Hey, we need to talk about this.
How much do you drink?
Why don't you try getting therapy?
It's not like that.
You know, I had another blind date yesterday.
The guy wanted to have a drink, so I drank a little.
I see. With that guy?
I guess this one wasn't so bad.
Don't get me started.
It's as if they're sending all the scumbags my way.
Why? What happened?
Why is it so hard to meet a decent person?
Just know that you're lucky. You married your first love.
It's very rare.
You know that we fight all the time.
Anyway, just forget about it.
Someday, you'll meet "the one."
That doesn't exist.
Even if it does, I'll stay single.
I wonder if we could find someone among our patients.
I'll keep my eyes open.
I'm off.
Keep your eyes open for what?
Hey.
Hello, Mother.
Yes, what's up?
I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
I'm okay, of course.
Hey, let's meet this evening.
Do you see these shiny parts?
There's a big tumor in the large intestine,
and small tumors are spread throughout the intestines.
And the CA-125 levels are quite high as well.
So your opinion is the same as the other doctors'.
Yes, the results are the same...
as what you got at the other hospitals.
Actually,
the big tumor has grown a bit compared to the first test result,
although the difference in size is still quite small.
Can't you just remove them all through surgery?
As you saw in the CT scan,
we won't be able to remove all of them as there are too many.
We'll also have to remove some intestinal tissues.
Let's kill the small tumors with chemotherapy...
and reduce the size of the large tumor,
then see how it goes.
But there are no symptoms. She seems perfectly healthy.
I did have diarrhea recently,
and I've been feeling fatigued. But that's something...
we all experience from time to time,
so I didn't think much of it.
Right. It's common to experience no symptoms at all...
or find out when mild symptoms occur.
It must be hard to believe,
but your ovarian cancer recurred and has spread to your intestines.
You need to get this treated immediately.
See? I told you.
All the doctors are saying the same thing.
Why listen to the same thing over and over?
Let's stop, okay?
It's not the same as what you told me.
You talked about it as if it was no big deal,
but it's serious.
They're all saying you need to be treated at once.
How come you had no idea until it got this bad?
If you were fatigued and had stomachaches...
You should've told me right away.
Gosh.
Why... Why is this happening?
I mean, why you of all people?
Have some water and calm down.
This can happen to anyone.
I'm nothing special.
Why would I be an exception?
No, that's not true. This is cancer.
Some people who drink and smoke...
and never take care of their health are perfectly fine.
So why are you...
Just why?
If you're going to be like this,
I'll be scared too.
I really don't want to be scared.
I want to just accept it...
and stay strong.
You're right. The situation isn't so good.
It's a cancer recurrence, and it's stage three.
The hard times are about to begin.
And I don't know what will happen.
But I heard a doctor said...
that cancer is like a chronic disease now.
You have to learn to live with it for the rest of your life.
I'll just believe that and focus on getting it treated.
While I go through that,
I'll need you by my side.
You said you'd always be by my side.
I'm okay. I can do this.
Please don't be angry.
Okay. All right.
Yes, let's get through this together.
I'll stay right by your side.
Don't worry.
I heard this movie is good. Let's watch it together.
I heard it has steamy scenes.
Come on. It's PG-19.
We're old enough to watch PG-29.
Did you pick this on purpose?
Come on. I chose it because it's a good movie.
We'll watch this, then. How about food?
What shall we eat?
You're always so serious when deciding what to eat.
What should we eat?
You're so cute!
- Gosh! - The call went on for longer...
- What are you doing? - Oh, there was a bug. My gosh.
We should ask the management office to call an exterminator.
Yes, let's do that.
- Did you decide what to do? - What?
Yes. As for the meet-and-greet with Writer Kim Mi Gyeong,
we're going to do it at the library.
Good. I'll check it off, then.
Gosh, it's getting late.
Everyone's gone. We should get going too. Let's go.
Oh, I have plans this evening.
Me too.
Really? You're both so busy these days.
Right? Some people keep bugging me to hang out with them.
Anyway, I'm off.
- I'll see you at home. - Okay.
Hi, Da Bal. I'm leaving work now.
Oh, the piano academy?
Will Yi Jae's lesson be done soon too?
Okay, then I'll head over to the academy.
Okay. I'll get changed and leave right away too.
All right, I'll meet you there.
Are we having a feast? Looks like you bought everything at the store.
Oh, that.
I just want all of us to eat well.
You girls haven't been eating that much,
and I want your mother to eat well too.
By the way,
- are you all right now? - Sorry?
Yes, of course.
Did you collect all your father's belongings?
Your mother wanted to ask you about it but didn't.
Well, there wasn't much to collect...
because he was in the hospital for a long time.
I did bring home his watch and sunglasses.
He was very stylish.
I initially wanted Geu Roo to hold onto them, but she said...
Right, keeping keepsakes is not an easy thing to do.
I want to pass them on to Sol later on.
She never met him, but still...
Yes. You shouldn't dwell on a loss...
or grieve for too long,
but it's good to have something that reminds you of that person.
Exactly.
Oh, where's Mom?
Are you making dinner by yourself?
No, she's at the salon now. She'll be home soon.
Everyone's late today.
I'll bring Sol home as soon as her piano lesson is done,
so let's cook together.
You and I?
Yes! I can do simple things.
- I can taste things for you. - That's the most important thing.
Okay, I'll see you in a bit.
- Okay, I'll be back soon. - All right.
Take a seat. Do you want something to drink?
Yes. Can I have some juice?
Sweet beverages aren't good for you.
Anyway, all right. Give me a moment.
By the way, is your AC on now?
Yes.
Mother, the glaciers are melting.
It's not hot enough for AC.
This is my home.
Besides, the glaciers were melting even before you were born.
Stop making such a fuss about it.
But they're melting at a faster rate...
Okay.
You didn't tell Heon or your mom that you were coming here, right?
I didn't. Heon is still at school.
Don't tell them that you had a talk with me.
Okay.
Did Heon see everything last night?
No, it was just me.
I cleaned everything with the door locked.
Heon knows that you drank last night...
but didn't see the other stuff.
- "The other stuff?" - Yes, you throwing up and so on.
It was a one-time thing. I never get like that.
I'm going through something these days.
I wanted to have a drink because I was upset...
but ended up overdoing it.
I hope you don't get the wrong idea.
Okay.
Mother.
I think you drank so much last night because you live alone.
It'd be nice for you to have a roommate,
or why don't you live with your mom...
- I mean, with Heon's grandma... - Hey.
You must feel lonely.
I looked it up. They say feeling lonely makes alcoholism...
Hey! How dare you say such a thing?
Alcoholism?
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you're an alcoholic now.
But if you keep drinking...
I told you that it was a one-time thing!
Were you not listening?
You're more brazen and immature than I thought you were.
What? Do you think I'm a joke now that you've seen me drunk?
Get out.
- Mother. - Just go home.
- Is this the supplement? - Yes.
It's really good.
- My eyes are less tired now. - Good.
I want to get one for Geu Roo.
Should I get one for you too?
You'll buy me the supplement I bought for you?
Who cares? It's good for you.
You're at the age where you should take these things.
Okay, thanks for your concern.
That reminds me. I'm curious about something.
- You used to wear glasses. - Yes.
How come you don't wear them now?
Oh, I always wore them on and off.
I wear them when I have a lot of work to do.
It's a bit blurry, but my eyesight isn't so bad.
And it's nice to only see things that I need to see.
But you look good with glasses.
Can't you wear them again? Like the old days.
Why do you keep bringing up the old days?
I don't want to wear them.
They get foggy in winter...
and sweaty in summer. It's uncomfortable.
That's too bad.
Ga Eun.
I wonder from time to time...
that maybe you like...
the person I used to be in the past.
Gosh, what am I saying? I'm such a loser.
What? Did I hit the send button? Did I actually send it?
Darn it!
Is there a way to undo it?
Mr. Geum.
No, I wasn't going to actually send it.
What do you mean?
I like who?
I just meant...
Why did you close the door? Just leave it open.
Is that what you've been thinking?
Since when? And why?
Well...
Yes, I've been wondering for a while.
We mostly talk about the old days.
So I wondered if you... I mean,
I was wondering if you liked the radiant version of me...
in your memory.
That was the most radiant moment in my life.
I was filled with hope that I'd be a professional artist soon.
I was excited every day because I was sure that someone...
would recognize my talent one day.
At the time, you were exhausted preparing for college,
so maybe you thought I was cool...
because my paintings were different from those of your peers.
Maybe you just idolized me, so to speak.
Mr. Geum.
When I was preparing for art school,
I truly admired my instructor who was an art school graduate.
I always thought, "How did you get in?"
So maybe the feelings you have for me now...
are a continuation of that.
Clearly, I have changed a lot since then.
I've become less confident, and that radiance is gone.
I'm like a different person now.
You think I only like how radiant you were back then?
It's just a continuation of how I used to idolize you?
I mean, it could be that.
And if that's the case, I'd feel bad.
Wait, Ga Eun.
Oh, this is...
Open it.
You told me to never open this.
There's nothing.
Yes. At first, I also thought it was no more than me idolizing you.
"I respect and idolize him."
"He's cool." I thought it was nothing more than that.
But look.
I wrote in pencil and erased it, over and over.
You see the marks, right?
After the ninth time, I erased everything...
and came to the realization...
that I actually liked you.
That I couldn't send the letter because I had feelings for you.
Your bright smile when you were working on your paintings,
your passion, hopes, and dreams.
It's true that I liked all those things,
but what I liked even more...
was seeing you looking tired after staying up a few nights...
to make your dream come true,
how stressed out you were to make that happen,
and how you threw out all the paint and started again from scratch...
when you weren't happy with your painting.
It was those things.
What I liked wasn't you in your most radiant moments,
but you doing your best to make your dreams come true,
just like what you're doing now.
That's why I fell for you and still like you.
Do you not believe me?
What? It's not that.
I like you.
I like you so much.
