We will now announce the Doctor of the Year Award.
This year could be a more special award ceremony.
As you all know, we have a married couple as our co-recipients.
We will announce them now.
In the Psychiatrist category, Dr. No Yeong Won.
In the Plastic Surgery category, Dr. Choi Jae Jin. Congratulations.
(Doctor of the Year, 2023 KDA Awards)
We sincerely congratulate both of you.
I've checked,
and this is the first time that a married couple...
is receiving the award at once.
We must hear how you feel.
Dr. No Yeong Won.
You can go ahead.
No, you can go first.
You go first.
Yes, well...
I'm not exactly sure how this happened.
I don't know if I'm worthy enough to receive this award,
but I will continue to work hard...
to treat patients and help people throughout my life.
And until I received this award, she has stood by my side...
to give me so much help and teach me as well.
My beloved...
Dr. No Yeong Won.
I'd like to thank her for this award.
Thank you.
As we've heard, he is such a loving husband.
Then, Dr. Choi Jae Jin's...
spiritual leader and teacher,
and the doctor who's taking charge of the mental health of Korea,
Psychiatrist No Yeong Won. We can't miss out on hearing...
how she feels, can we?
I also feel so grateful.
I always feel that I'm lacking,
but I will try even harder...
to become a doctor who can fill...
the empty spots that patients may have.
To my husband,
who did so much to support me from my side,
Ms. Hong Sa Kang,
and the person who would have been...
happier than anyone else to see this. Father.
To Father, who cherished me like a daughter,
I would like to dedicate this honor.
(Psychiatry: No Yeong Won, Plastic Surgery: Choi Jae Jin)
Personally,
when I listen to Dr. No's counseling and solutions,
it all seems to end with family.
Then, what does family mean to Dr. No?
To me, family is...
a lifeline.
A lifeline?
Yes.
It's where the true No Yeong Won exists...
and the strength that gets me back up.
Without family,
I would not be here today.
That is why family is...
the one thing that I must fight for until the very end.
Protecting my family so that it doesn't fall apart...
is my life...
and the reason for my existence.
(Doctor of the Year, 2023 KDA Awards)
Oh, my.
What do you think you're doing, Ms. No?
Mother, I have something to tell you.
Tell me? Right now?
What's so important that you're going this far?
What is it?
You remember how my father passed away, don't you?
I do. He died in vain.
The case that my father was involved in...
I think he was framed for everything.
And I think...
Father played a part in doing so.
"Played a part?"
I do remember that Prosecutor Choi was...
was in charge of the case on Director No.
Don't beat around the bush, and just tell me.
Prosecutor Choi,
take care of Director No.
And you have to join us in Hwang Ju Group.
But sir,
he's such an upright person.
I don't think Director No will just sit back and take it.
That is why we must get him involved...
with this sexual harassment case for sure.
Yes, then,
you mean that the secretary will give a false statement...
that she was sexually harassed by Director No, right?
But sir,
that female secretary must clearly do her part.
You know this, right?
Of course.
All right.
We'll give it a try.
This guy is a pain in my behind even in death.
How could Father...
take part in framing my dad?
And then, he brought me into this family...
Mother, did you perhaps know?
Is that what matters to you now?
What?
So, what do you want to do, Ms. No?
Will you report this to the police?
Or will you reveal this to the world?
I understand. You must want to kill him.
But, Ms. No... He's dead.
Director No is already gone too.
Whose apology do you want at this point, and for whom?
Think rationally.
So, I should just pretend not to know...
and just cover it up and let it all go?
You're too emotional today. You're unlike yourself, Ms. No.
What's important is...
what you can gain from having this secret revealed.
Fine.
What would I do when they'd all passed away?
Still, at the very least,
wouldn't I be curious to know whether the remaining family...
knew about this fact?
As you already know, that man and I...
were not in any relationship where we'd share this kind of secret.
Also, it's not that I can't understand how upset...
and angry you feel right now.
I've spent my life despising Prosecutor Choi too.
But you need to think carefully about this.
Saying that your father-in-law, a man the whole world knows,
is the culprit who drove your father...
to commit suicide?
Then, what do you think people would say of you...
when you didn't even know about that...
and joined that family as their daughter-in-law?
No, everything you've accomplished until now...
Will you be able to let all that go?
I know how you feel.
How long have we spent together in this house?
Why wouldn't I know?
But what's important here...
is not revealing the truth...
but the well-being of our family. Don't you think?
With this one truth,
think about what will happen to our family.
Think about what you need to protect, Ms. No.
The choice is up to you.
(Chapter 2: A Downright Lie)
missing sub
It's such a blessing to spend this kind of time every morning...
with your family.
It doesn't mean you're a family just because you eat together.
It's important to have such emotional communication.
What do you think, grandson?
It's suffocating.
Amen.
Good. Now that we've said amen, let's all start eating.
Sure.
It's braised pomfret.
Father used to enjoy having braised pomfret.
Honey, come on. I didn't braise it for this.
He loved having braised pomfret.
- Housekeeper. - Yes?
- I'm having toast instead. - Yes, madam.
I apologize, Mother.
Honey, are you okay?
Yes.
Did you feel the same...
when your father passed away?
I realized...
what the word "sudden" meant.
After my dad passed away,
I was swept with a sense of longing suddenly from time to time.
I bet you're going through the same thing.
You're right.
How are you hanging?
Of this whole family, your father adored you the most.
Do you think...
you knew everything about your father?
Why do you ask?
No.
I'm just asking.
I didn't know much about him.
Honey.
It's true my parents weren't on good terms,
but the way I see it, she's greatly shocked.
Why else would she have mentioned the biscuit box?
It seems to me...
that she's acting brightly...
to get over her grief like a defense mechanism.
I don't think so...
Be more attentive to her for me.
Sure.
- Bye. - Bye.
Ms. No.
Yes, Mother.
Could you get me a glass of lemonade?
I'll get you some cookies too.
No, Ms. No.
Buicuits sound better.
Sure.
("Beast's Yesterday")
It's super boring.
The writer probably has no friends.
Friends don't talk to each other like that.
This is trash.
Reading this novel just ruined my afternoon.
Your sentences show that you have no talent for writing.
Don't waste your efforts, and look for another job.
She's not like that.
What do you know, jerk?
You could get a scolding for this, jerk.
"Sandglass."
Ms. Hong Sa Kang, are you having fun in secret?
What the... Does this person know me?
Doctor.
How did it go?
The operation went successfully.
- Thank you. - Thank you, doctor.
Thank you.
Can he get all better now?
Well, the thing is... His condition...
He's been very focused,
so let me explain it on his behalf.
The operation went successfully.
It did,
but Yoo Joon is only a little kid right now.
As we watch him grow,
he'll have to go through operations and treatments in stages.
Don't worry.
The doctor has agreed...
to provide the rest of the treatments for free.
Thank you, doctor.
Thank you. Oh, my.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Sir.
Toast.
Let me pour a glass for my father-in-law too.
(No Sun Ho rests here.)
Ms. No.
Isn't Dr. Choi a decent husband...
and a tender-hearted son-in-law?
They were close friends when they were alive.
They're resting side by side even after they died.
Your father...
faced such a futile death at a young age.
Go Myeon.
My brother wasn't the kind of person who would die like that.
- Hello, Aunt. - Hi.
There's no way he will rest in peace...
after how futilely he died.
Goodness. How could he get slammed by a rock to death?
What was the use of exercising...
and taking care of his health all his life?
He got slammed by a rock to death!
Exactly.
I came because it was his 49th-day death anniversary.
You prepared just this wine?
And nothing else for the service?
We go to church.
I see. You go to church...
and commemorate his 49th-day death anniversary.
Where's Do Hyun?
He...
He went to school.
His grandpa's 49th deathday is more important than school.
Jae Jin.
Can't you instruct your son better?
Look.
The right word is "educate."
I like the empty grave here.
- Son. - Yes?
When I die,
bury my body next to my brother right here.
It's expensive, Mom.
- Very expensive? - Yes.
How much is it per burial plot here, Sa Kang?
- Jae Jin, let's go. - Sure.
I know you've bought a few plots here.
Why don't you buy this whole section for family use?
I bet my brother saved...
quite a lot of money.
Don't you know how he spent his income?
Let all those women buy the empty plots...
next to Prosecutor Choi.
You can ask them for one.
Goodbye.
Darn that...
Relax.
She's too tiring for someone to live with.
Don't you agree?
No, Aunt.
Yeong Won.
My brother adored you so much.
They say a daughter-in-law is the love of a father-in-law.
Did you hear about this novel?
What novel?
So you don't know.
According to my son, rumors are rampant on the Internet...
that your mother-in-law was the one who killed your father-in-law.
That he died exactly as it is written in her novel.
You know your mother-in-law isn't an ordinary woman.
Be careful.
One of her novels might be about killing her daughter-in-law.
Oh, please.
Yes.
You see, I'm not joking.
Look for it thoroughly before you regret it.
- I'll see you later. - Bye.
Bye.
Ra Kyung, I'm on my way now.
Yeong Won, did you get the analysis data?
- Oh, right. Let me grab that first. - Okay.
Now, come here.
My.
You're such a good painter.
Why are you now holding hands with Mom here?
I meant to hold her hand.
That's weird.
Well, look, Ga Young.
Mom's nails look like a witch's nails.
Do you know the biggest fear...
among kids Ga Young's age?
They're afraid of hurting their moms.
So they'd lose their moms' love.
So children...
soon hold their parents' hands again even if the parents let go.
Children's forgiveness...
saves adults from their guilt.
("And Then I Was Left Alone")
(The culprit put his hand against his nose.)
Do you think you can find out?
We only deliver it.
We can't identify the exact information of the sender.
Even if there's no sender,
we're obligated to deliver it...
as long as the receiver's information is correct.
- Okay. - Here.
One second.
Is there a way to find out?
Aren't you Dr. No Yeong Won?
Well...
I think she is Dr. No Yeong Won.
Ma'am, can we meet for a second?
You must be surprised.
But I have to say I was surprised too.
Because he was never like this before.
Of course, there are kids...
who give up on their exams.
Due to the pressure of going to university.
But Do Hyun...
Did he come back after he left during the exam?
He didn't come back on the same day.
But what worries me more is...
that he was back the next day as if nothing happened.
I don't know what is wrong with him.
He worries me.
Hey.
Hurry up.
- Hey. - Over here.
- Hey. - Pass.
- Good job. Keep going. - Watch out.
- Block him. - Over here.
(Soft Hands)
Thank you for your patience.
Don't mention it.
You should fill yourself up first with a warm meal.
I'm...
here to ask you for a favor.
I've been waiting.
I will have to tidy up first.
Son.
Can I ask why you did that?
I'm sure you have your reasons.
I'm not scolding you.
I want to find the reason together.
Fine.
You can tell me later.
I believe there is a reason...
for every decision you make.
As long as you can be responsible for your decision,
I will always support you.
You know that, right?
I'm home.
Ms. No, come here for a second.
Yes.
How was your day? Where's Do Hyun?
I think he's tired.
Ms. No, I heard you met Tae Oh before.
Oh, yes.
Hello, Dr. No.
He asked me to come for dinner at his house.
Ms. No.
Tae Oh turns out to be an elite.
He's a passionate young man who likes George Orwell's novels.
Honey, is Do Hyun okay?
Yes, he's okay.
What's wrong? Something happened to my grandson?
He must be under stress because of math.
If you don't mind,
can I meet him?
And to say hi?
Yes. That's a good idea.
I heard you won the International Mathematical Olympiad.
- Yes. - Is that okay with you, honey?
What?
I'll be quick.
I thought he should say hi to our family.
When you said you were going to Do Hyun's school,
I thought it'd help Do Hyun to have a brother like Tae Oh.
I know that you like people,
but I'm worried about you bringing strangers home.
You don't need to worry about that.
Do Hyun seems to like him too.
Speaking of which,
why don't we ask him to tutor Do Hyun in math?
Did you say...
he's your high school friend's son?
Yes.
How come I don't know that friend?
You don't?
I doubt it.
Don't try to fool me.
Do Hyun seems to be hiding something from me.
You two have been getting on my nerves lately.
We wouldn't dare to fool you.
Everything is all right.
Good. You're doing great.
- Come here. - Next.
Come on.
See? They're already getting close.
Now, use your wrist to throw it.
The real game is what matters.
When you throw the ball,
it draws an arc.
What do you need to do...
to throw it in the direction you want at the speed you want?
Strain in the direction I want?
You know it.
Baseball and math are the same thing.
- Let's try it again. - Yes.
It's nothing hard.
- Come on. - In the direction I want.
It's the same as math. Hey.
Gosh. It's okay. It's fine.
Mr. An.
Why are you suddenly playing baseball?
That's Tae Oh.
Hello. I'm Moon Tae Oh.
I'm An Yo Sub.
Let's go again.
I don't have the ball.
You must be pretty good at catch.
Shall we play again?
All right. Go slowly.
(Is your family well?)
Your next appointment is waiting. Ms. Lee Se Na.
You were very surprised that day, weren't you?
Yes, a bit.
Me too.
When you first came here,
did you come without knowing that he was my father-in-law?
Is that important to you, Dr. No?
It's true that I came as a patient wanting counseling.
Still, I have to ask.
What your relationship was with my father-in-law.
Should I say that I'm thankful?
Or should I say that I'm grateful?
I still get like this sometimes.
I think it'd be best to stop talking.
That is why I'm bringing this up,
but I think it'd be hard to leave out personal sentiments with you.
So, I will introduce you to another doctor.
No.
He's already dead anyway.
All I want is to get counseling from you.
Are they happy?
What are you doing right now?
Sorry.
I was just wondering if everyone was actually happy.
Life is short.
But it'd be too sad not to know that.
Ms. Lee, you must think...
that my family doesn't look happy.
What do you think, Dr. No?
Do you think you're happy?
You're the one who came here for counseling.
If you came here with the intention of provoking me,
I will decline.
You said this last time.
Just because they're family doesn't mean they have to know everything.
Is that really true?
Are humans...
such beings...
who can truly forgive...
and understand each other...
in the name of family?
Oh, right. Dr. No.
Isn't that so shocking?
Prosecutor Choi's death...
was exactly the same as Novelist Hong's novel.
(Patient's Chart, Name: Lee Se Na)
(Diagnosis: Mental unease, panic disorder)
(Recipient: No Y. Won)
Dr. No.
I'm here.
Please add two sugars and one cream to my coffee.
Yes, ma'am.
My brother used to nag me so much not to eat too much sugar.
Your father-in-law was so meticulous about his health.
But what does that matter? He died in such vain.
Honestly speaking,
your mother-in-law only has her wealth from having a rich family.
The person who grew that fortune this much was my brother.
My brother had so many connections in politics and finance.
Gosh, but now that he's dead,
it's just like what people say. "One man sows and another man reaps."
Auntie, you didn't come here to talk about that, right?
("Murder in a Frame")
I doubt it really happened like how it was in the book.
But isn't it a fascinating coincidence?
If you look in there, it makes sense...
that Sa Kang's character gobbled up my brother.
You know how much your mother-in-law hated my brother.
Sure, it was my brother's problem that he cheated his whole life.
But she looked down on him so much.
How would a man have any affection?
You know this too.
Your mother-in-law has that odd look.
Of looking down on someone when she looks at you.
(Hong Sa Kang)
Isn't that so shocking?
Prosecutor Choi's death...
was exactly the same as Novelist Hong's novel.
Until then, I was a fan of Hong Sa Kang's.
No one can tell how human relationships...
might turn out.
Don't worry, Yeong Won.
- Why? - I looked into it,
and there wasn't any mention of you or me.
I mean, there was nothing about a daughter-in-law...
or a sister-in-law dying.
Come on, Auntie.
Why? I read it over again.
Just in case there was something about a sister-in-law dying.
Gosh.
But do you know what's even more surprising?
What is it?
Even in this book, the sister-in-law...
absolutely hates the main female character.
- Auntie. - Yes?
- Can I read this book? - Yes.
(Mount Woomyeon rockslide accidental death)
("Former Prosecutor General Dies Due to Rockslide on Mount Woomyeon")
This morning, former Prosecutor General, Choi Go Myeon,
was found dead at the bottom of the hiking trail at Mount Woomyeon.
Choi had gone on a walk with his dog early in the morning,
and it has been revealed that he died from being hit by a rock...
that suddenly fell while he was walking.
Police say that the recent rainfall...
caused the soil and rocks on the hiking trail to loosen,
leading to this accidental death in a rockslide.
They are currently investigating the detailed cause of the accident.
The rockslide accident, which was known as his cause of death,
is being questioned as to whether it was a simple natural disaster...
that led to an accidental death.
According to investigations, the hiking trail at the time...
was not weakened to the point that a rockslide could occur.
The police are looking into other possibilities for Choi's death...
("Murder in a Frame")
I was curious...
whether you could simply conclude...
that an accidental death by rockslide...
was a natural disaster.
He was so used to hiking in the mountains.
It's still hard to accept.
So why didn't you do an autopsy?
What do you mean, an autopsy?
I'm not really sure...
why you're questioning this at this point.
We clearly suggested that you could do an autopsy...
even if it was a death caused by a natural disaster.
It was your family that declined to do so.
We declined to do an autopsy?
Who did?
Hang on.
You can take a look at that.
(Disagreement for Autopsy)
Ms. Hong Sa Kang signed it.
She's Mr. Choi Go Myeon's wife, correct?
The mountain where he ran around for decades...
was more like an even carpet than the flat ground itself.
Could he have slipped from the early morning rainfall?
Or could he have misstepped?
What could have gone wrong?
His body was slipping down.
No, a life doesn't end just like that.
He had always been confident that he was the one to end things.
Was there someone who laughed at his overconfidence?
A heavy rock slams right into his head.
If it wasn't an accident from a rockslide,
could someone have...
Mother, what are you doing there?
Well, it's the mountain behind my house. Can't I even go for a hike?
So, why did you just pop out from there?
I dropped my lighter.
And what about you, Ms. No? What are you doing here?
Are you perhaps suspecting me?
Do you believe the rumor that I may have killed that man?
You did hate him that much.
Even if he were alive, wouldn't someone have wanted him dead?
But Mother.
Why didn't you agree to do an autopsy?
I heard that the police officers suggested an autopsy just in case.
He was a sinful man. Even if he was murdered,
wouldn't it be better to tell the world...
that he got smashed by a rock?
(Soft Hands)
("Beast's Yesterday" you subscribed has received a new comment.)
("Beast's Yesterday")
I just got goosebumps. "Murder in a Frame" is said...
to write about the same death as how some prosecutor died.
That's an insult to the great art of literature.
I shall stop the beginning of this rumor.
Sandglass, this idiot, showed up again.
This idiot...
will show up until people like you are all gone.
What's your relationship with the writer?
I cannot forgive anyone...
for insulting the writer.
(It was the same as usual.)
Knock, knock.
Tae Oh got me this wine.
Try some.
- It's nice. - It's good.
What is it? Are you concerned about something?
The truth is,
I got a strange package a few days ago.
A package? What was it?
A stuffed headless pigeon and...
It must've startled you.
Who sent you such a thing?
It had no sender's name.
I guess a lot of people are jealous here and there these days...
because you're on a roll.
It seems like they want you to fall rather than be praised.
I know.
You should also be careful just in case.
Okay.
I'm going to bed. I'm sleepy.
Oh, right. You're going to the colloquium tomorrow.
That colloquium has been going on for more than a year.
When will it end?
I'm not sure.
Good night.

The picture in the frame is complete.
Will you be able to claim it?
- Goodness. - Good work.

Did the filming go well?
Yes. Did you do what I asked?
Yes. I installed a total of five more...
at the entrance and in the counseling room.

I'm sorry. The colloquium took long.

- Yeong Won, the thing is... - Yes, I'm asking you.
Why was your phone dropped in your brother-in-law's car?
Well...
He wanted to treat me to a meal,
so I met up with him. Maybe I dropped it then.
Today?
When? Where?
Do you have delusional jealousy?
Give me the straight answer.
Jae Jin had a colloquium today.
When and where did you meet him?
Did you know it all?
He said you didn't know that he had a colloquium in Yangpyeong.
A colloquium in Yangpyeong?
I should've kept it from her.

As a solution to facial asymmetry,
a restoration method using three-dimensional implants...
was developed.
A mixture of ceramic and polycaprolactam materials...
and an implant customized to the patient through 3D printing.
We discussed the characteristics and clinic examples.
And... Gosh, it's what I do, but it really sounds boring.
I find you so charming when you talk about these things.

proud of the things we were able to achieve until now.
