(Episode 55)
Do Na.
Yes, Mom. I'm here.
- Are you okay? - Yes. I'm okay.
Mom, are you in pain?
Not yet. I can't tell if I'm in more pain.
You were given a strong painkiller,
so you might be dazed.
It'll be tough for you...
from now on.
That's fine.
It's okay as long as Do Na is not hurt.
Lara got hurt.
How?
It was an accident.
She was trying to save Do Na.
She's already ill. Why did she get hurt this time?
We need to cut down Lara's part.
Okay. I'll try.
Can she walk?
The doctor said...
there shouldn't be much problem if she doesn't strain herself.
If she was healthy,
it wouldn't have been a huge problem in time.
But her immune system has gotten very weak.
He said it might be difficult for her to recover.
This must be really heartbreaking for you.
Yes, it's very frustrating.
Did you make sure Grandma isn't too worried about this?
Yes. I'm sure Young Hee did so.
The men can go.
I want to be here with my daughters.
Just your daughters? What about me?
You can take your sons-in-law and go.
My gosh, you're so cheap.
Guys, let's go.
You probably have no idea...
how pretty Lara was when she was younger.
Do Na is also very pretty, Father.
Come on, everyone.
The cutest and the most adorable one is Sung Ah.
Wait, do you two want to have a go at me?
You sounded really proud of Mother,
so we couldn't just sit here and say nothing.
Me too.
Hey, we have to be honest.
Do you know what Sung Ah's childhood nickname was?
- What was it? - It was Ugly.
Ugly? What? She's not ugly.
Fine. It's a fight, then.
Let's figure out who is the prettiest. Bottoms up.
Cheers. Bottoms up.
Have some more.
Grandma. She's so stubborn.
I told her to stay at the hospital, but she insisted.
I knew this would make your life harder,
but I still wanted to come home.
Yes.
You did well.
Grandma, you can't tell her that she did well.
You need to scold her and tell her to go back to the hospital.
I already know how stubborn you four girls are.
You're sick too.
I'll treat you...
so that you won't be sick all by yourself.
So please don't ignore me.
If you do this,
I can't run away.
- Cut. Okay. - Cut. Okay.
Thank you.
Why are you so silent? You seem annoyed.
- When did I do that? - All day today.
I didn't do that.
That's how I felt.
You know, I wasn't going to say anything,
but you hugged Bum Woo too tightly.
- You're so adorable. - Is this funny?
Why are you so adorable when you're jealous?
Are you making fun of me?
I love you.
Do you like her that much?
Why were you watching us?
Then you should smooch elsewhere.
How can you get jealous of her acting as a fellow actor?
What will I do with you?
Chi Bok. Maybe I should stop her from acting.
Gosh, you fool.
You have lipstick on you.
Here it is, Director Ha.
Thanks.
It must be hard staying up every night.
Director Shin and I take turns.
But still. You're really amazing.
I should ask Father to have another drink.
I want to fight over whose woman is...
the coolest of them all.
Do you like Chairman Jung? You bring him up very often.
He's like my own dad.
I'm so glad I got a grandmother, father, mother,
and sisters thanks to you.
I'm glad that you feel less lonely.
I think I'm beginning to understand what a family is.
I'm sure I don't feel...
as bad as you, but I'm afraid of the day...
when we have to say goodbye to Mother.
I'm very thankful that you have such a kind heart.
Why aren't you in bed?
My body felt really stiff because I was in bed for too long.
Where are Hye Mi and Sung Ah?
They went to a public bath.
Come here.
It must hurt a lot.
No matter how much it hurts, it's not as bad as back then.
- When? - When I suffered from mastitis...
after sending you away.
It hurt so much...
like I was high in fever.
I was completely down for at least half a month.
No matter how much this hurts, it's not as bad as back then.
Mom.
Yes?
I never knew...
you went through such a painful time.
I thought...
that you just gave me away.
Of course, you would have.
I'm sorry that I hated you so much.
No.
I have nothing more to wish for.
My heart races whenever...
you call me Mom.
I regret forgiving Mom so late.
When I see her...
while working,
she seems brighter than before even though she's sick.
It's all thanks to you.
People say,
"Better late than never".
But I regret this too.
I should've let you known earlier.
Director Shin.
After Mom leaves us...
A very long time after that...
You and Writer Yoon make a great couple.
Writer Yoon and I are not made for a marriage.
You'll be in pain all by yourself for a long time.
If I must be in pain because I'm in love,
what can I do?
I just have to live with it.
I learned in life that...
nothing is for free.
To be honest, I really didn't get you.
How can you be in love with someone...
who's much older than you?
But recently, I think I'm starting to get it.
That my mom is such a lovely woman.
Should I not have bothered you while you're sick?
No, it's okay.
Hey.
I'm sorry for being so mean to you until now.
It's okay.
What is this?
It was really hard to get.
It's wild ginseng.
- Hwa Im. - Let's try everything we can.
Thank you.
I'm sure...
there are many times when you want to give up from the pain.
No, never.
I just want to live on like crazy.
I probably shouldn't boast...
since you don't have any kids.
But having three daughters...
and two sons-in-law is a lot of fun.
Yes. You should live for a long time...
- to enjoy it. - I will.
Please forget all the unsightly things...
you have seen.
I'm already starting to forget.
I'm glad.
I think our family will have to move abroad.
No matter where you are, don't live like how you did here.
I won't.
Is Jin Hee...
going with you?
No.
She left me.
She doesn't think I deserve to be a father.
It's your fault for thinking of women so easily.
I know.
I'm regretting it.
It was a short-lived marriage,
but I hope you're able to forgive me for the pain I caused you.
I'll try.
I hope you'll be happy.
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday, dear Grandma - Happy birthday, dear Grandma
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Congratulations! - Happy birthday.
Thank you all for coming to celebrate an elderly's birthday.
There isn't much, but please enjoy the food.
Thank you for all the gifts as well.
- Here I go! - Go back one!
- Good. - It's two.
2, 2, 2.
We'll make them go together.
- We should, right? - Yes.
Okay.
Father.
We'll lose another 50 dollars if we get caught again.
It's impossible. We're so far apart.
We have to play it like this in order to win. It's okay.
- You can go. - Okay.
Good luck. Good luck.
Good luck.
- Are you all ready? - Let's go.
It's five!
It's five.
Another five.
How does she always get fives?
This is my hidden talent.
If you get another five, we can beat them.
- We'll win. - Yes, sir.
- Get them. - You can't get two in a row.
It's impossible...
- What is this? - It's five!
Gosh...
We got you.
It's possible.
Let's increase the bet by 100 dollars.
Everybody, start over.
We'll make it 100 dollars more.
- Another 100 dollars? - We'll win this time.
You'll challenge us again? We'll accept your challenge.
We must be doing poorly since we're at enemy's camp.
Let's have a meeting. Let's go outside.
Okay.
Please excuse us.
- Where are you going? - They're having a meeting!
- We need to strategize. - Today is...
the happiest birthday I have ever had.
This is what you call a real home.
You guys were really bad at the game.
Father, I don't think we were the only ones.
Do you think so?
Thank you.
I haven't seen...
Lara so happy in a while.
Let's try to get together often.
Yes, Father.
Gil Joon got so red when they lost.
Your father was the most upset.
He's such a competitive guy.
Bum Woo...
couldn't stop smiling while hanging out with the family.
- Mom. - Yes?
Are you happy?
Yes. I'm very happy.
I couldn't ask for more.
I'm glad.
Come in.
Here.
Good work.
- Mr. Park. - Yes, ma'am?
You know my situation, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Please take good care of the chairman.
I will.
This new medication is supposed to be a lot better.
I hope it helps you.
Thank you.
This will help a little bit with the pain, right?
I don't know...
if I became dull, but I can't tell if it hurts.
- Lara. - Yes?
You don't have to hide it from me.
It must be hard trying not to show it in front of the kids.
There is no need to do that in front of me.
Okay.
Actually,
it's getting harder for me to stand it.
Dr. Yoon...
said that you might.
He said it's a miracle you're still able to have...
a normal life.
It hurts a lot.
Now,
I just want to give up now.
But I can't do that...
because I want to live.
I know.
Keep thinking that way,
and hang in there.
Ta-da!
(Juvis Diet)
Don't Do Hyun and I look great together?
You do.
Hey. Why are you boasting about this?
What's wrong? It's something to boast about.
Come on.
It's so tiring for me to date such a young kid.
All right.
Fine.
Okay. Make it slow motion here.
Okay.
Hello, everyone. Have some snacks.
Hello.
Should we take a break?
You don't have to leave.
Director Shin.
He's so quick.
- You must be tired. - I'm fine.
The hospital sent me the test results.
Both of us are really healthy.
It's not fat that's on you. You're full of muscles.
Really? Really?
Yes. Your fat percentage is low. Very low.
A little higher than regular people.
- That means I'm fat. - You're doing it again!
I told you I'm fine with it, so why do you care?
Hurry up, and eat.
Eat it all, okay?
Hey, don't go in yet.
Is Mr. Kim here?
Yes.
Everybody's rubbing it in.
Especially you.
I'm sorry. I can't break up with Bum Woo...
just to make you feel better.
I thought you said you admired me.
How is she doing?
After she ate the ginseng Hwa Im got her,
she said she felt stronger.
- My aunt did that? - Yes. Didn't you know?
I didn't.
They said they don't like each other,
but they're still friends.
Hwa Im got her expensive ginseng.
Why didn't you tell me?
That's like showing off and saying I'm nice.
I don't have to say it. You'll find out anyway
I think it's working.
Yes, I spoke to her.
I'm not sure if she actually got better...
or if she's trying to make me feel better,
but she said she feels lighter.
Thank you, Aunt.
Did I wake you up?
Can you see less now?
A little bit.
But I can hear you.
Are you going to the bathroom?
No, I'm getting water.
Your medicine.
Mom.
Okay.
I'll be okay now.
This is a new type of medicine.
It works well to reduce my pain.
I see.
I'm sorry I woke you up.
You're leaving early for work, right?
Mom, stop worrying about me.
Your headache will worsen.
I'm so happy...
I can worry about you openly.
I like worrying about you.
("Restricted Area")
- Does it have a good storyline? - Yes. Read it for me.
- What is your character's name? - Chan Hee.
Okay, I'll read it.
You got offered to be in a masterpiece.
I'm proud of you.
It's all thanks to you.
I didn't know such day would come.
When I used to get rejected due to my stage fright,
I thought things wouldn't work out for me.
Thank you for saving me from the pit.
Yes, you have to serve me.
I'll give you a piggyback. Here.
Go away.
Director Shin, we stood far away and talked about work.
Keep trying to deny it.
It's the truth.
Director Shin, Bum Woo...
got offered to be in Director Lee's movie.
Is that right? Good for you.
This is all thanks to you two.
Thanks for including me.
If you have some time, please check out the script for him.
Do you want me to?
Then let's have dinner and talk...
Am I getting in your way?
No, you can have dinner with him.
I have to be home early.
Okay.
I must be the happiest person in the world.
Of course.
There are no daughters who are great maids like us.
Hey, other good daughters will laugh at you.
Is that true?
Don't worry.
I approve you all as the best daughters.
It's fine as long as you approve.
You're such talkative maids.
The pink skirt
Fluttered in the wind
These scenes haven't been filmed,
so let me edit them.
Okay, go ahead.
I can finally breathe.
If we kept that, I would have been so embarrassed.
Are you that excited?
Of course.
You're incredible.
You're working hard without being shaken.
When my mom was ill, I cried every day.
I didn't even think about working.
I don't deserve to cry...
next to my mom.
Why not?
I was rude...
to my mom.
All daughters in the world are rude to their moms.
And you...
had a reason.
No, it was too much.
Don't blame yourself.
Use that moment...
to make your mom laugh.
I regret not having done that.
I could have...
made my mom smile,
but I was busy crying.
"Mom, I'm okay."
"I'll be fine."
I couldn't smile and say goodbye to her.
I couldn't reassure her.
So don't do the same.
Okay.
I'll...
make my mom...
I'll make her smile.
Bum Woo.
- Yes. - Do Na grew up...
in much loneliness just like you.
Yes.
So you have to depend on each other, care for one another,
and embrace each other.
We will, Mother.
I'm so glad that you're here for Do Na.
I can leave in peace.
Do you feel more relieved after asking Bum Woo...
to take care of Do Na?
Yes.
I've never felt more peaceful.
It feels like I'm wrapping up doing the things I must do.
Please don't say...
anything to me.
I'm not prepared for that yet.
- Director Shin. - Later.
You can tell me later.
I like the scenario.
Your role stands out very well.
You thought so too, right?
You have to do this.
The shooting is right after the drama ends, so I'm doing it.
Do Na, you should hold onto this guy.
Or just get married right away.
He might betray you if he gets more famous.
Director Shin, I'm not a traitor.
What? Was this about being a traitor, not love?
You're onto me again.
My gosh.
Do Hyun and Mi So just disclosed their relationship.
Director Shin.
- Will you go out with me? - Me?
Why am I like this?
Everyone is dating except for us.
Wait. I want out.
I'm dating someone too.
Whom are you dating? Who?
What's going on?
You can hug me more tightly.
Tightly?
- Hello, Director Shin. - Congratulations, you two.
Thank you.
I gave into her persistent request.
Little strokes fell great oaks.
Hello.
Hey, Do Hyun. Congratulations.
Thank you.
- Where's Mi So? - I'm right here.
Mi So, you finally succeeded.
You're amazing.
I'm very proud of myself too.
Goodness. You couldn't let it pass.
That's Mi So.
It's our scene, right? Let's rehearse.
Okay. Come this way.
It looks like she can't see anything now.
And her hearing...
got worse too.
I keep telling her that she should get hospitalized,
but she wants to go after the drama ends.
She's very stubborn.
Just let her have her way.
She made it this far.
I'm sure...
she'll be okay until the end.
It's me, Dong Woo.
Director Shin?
Do you still remember my face?
Of course.
Very clearly.
This is the first time...
you're touching my face.
Don't cry.
Okay.
Thank you...
for loving me.
Thank you...
for coming into my life.
This is...
my last goodbye.
No.
Not today.
Of course.
The drama isn't over yet.
But...
I did say...
my goodbye.
Okay.
I loved you so much that I do not have...
any regrets.
She can't even...
sleep well anymore.
But...
she's still holding on...
because of the drama.
No.
Because of me.
What am I to her?
Her dearest child.
Around the corner.
Do you want to sit? Come here.
All right, a little more. That's good. Let's sit.
Do you have anywhere else that you'd like to touch?
No, I've touched everything I wanted to.
I spent 25 years of my life here,
so I wanted to touch the place before I leave.
- Lara. - Yes?
Are you really leaving?
Yes.
I...
don't think I have much time left.
If it's hard...
If this is too hard for you,
I will let you go.
I won't hold you back anymore.
I still have two more scenes to go.
They said they rescheduled those scenes,
so I'll get hospitalized after I shoot those two.
Okay.
- Honey. - Yes?
What kind of person...
was I?
The first day I met you...
was a spring day.
The streets...
were filled with cherry blossoms.
I remember that.
How old was I...
back then?
You were 22.
You were so beautiful.
You were so beautiful...
that it was hard...
to look at you.
Also,
you were so kind.
That's right.
Wait. Hold on.
Sit here. Okay.
Good job.
I don't know who you are,
but thank you.
It's not a problem.
Thank you.
I'm going to visit Lara in the afternoon.
She won't recognize you.
- Why not? - She can't see anymore.
Her hearing is almost gone too.
Her memory isn't doing well either.
Hwa Im.
Lara.
Lara, you...
You promised to go to the nursing home with me.
You can't be like this already.
She remembers that there are two scenes left.
However,
she's not in the condition to shoot them.
Let's shoot her scenes very last.
As long as she has scenes left,
she will not leave.
Let's just risk it.
She's a courageous woman.
She'll stand through it.
Mom.
- Wait. - Mom.
Mom...
Mom, your pills. You have to take them.
Lara.
Wake up after resting a little bit.
Lara, you still have things to do.
Lara, wake up.
Lara.
It seems like...
we only have days to grumble over drinks now.
She'll be back up.
I really hope so.
I want to see her smile...
just one more time.
Mom, are you up?
- Honey... - Yes, honey.
- Is that you? - Yes, it's me.
I have to go out.
- What? - It's time...
for Hye Mi's kindergarten.
Did Lara wake up?
Yes.
How is she doing?
She can hear a little bit.
But...
her memory is mixed up.
It would have been best...
if you didn't see her like that.
Then...
you wouldn't have a memory of it.
Why did I disappear...
from her memory?
Is it because it's a hurtful memory for her?
It's because it's too precious.
She must be keeping it safe.
Lara.
Yes?
If it gets too tiring,
you should go.
I won't hold you back anymore.
Honey.
Yes?
Am I going somewhere?
I'm still thankful.
You still remember me.
What are you talking about?
Why wouldn't I remember you?
It's nothing.
I...
want to go swimming.
Why is it so dark?
Aren't we in Bali?
We're on our honeymoon, right?
Honey.
Time keeps going backward for you.
I guess you met Do Na in the past too.
Who's...
Do Na?
Do Na.
- Yes, Mom. - Is it you?
- Yes. - Mom.
It's Do Na.
It's me.
Where...
am I?
You're...
in the hospital.
Was I...
really ill?
Yes.
I'm not...
in pain today.
Can I shoot the scenes today?
I did okay, right?
You did.
Mom, why don't you believe us? You did really well.
You should trust them.
They're not being nice because I'm ill, right?
At this rate,
she'll be good for another 100 years. Do you agree?
Mom, let's get started.
Do you remember your lines?
Of course. I feel great today.
- Okay. - Good luck.
- Should we get started? - Yes.
Let's begin!
Good luck.
Stand by.
- Action. - Cue.
Is this it?
Still,
it wasn't entirely...
a bad life.
- Cut. Okay. - Cut. Okay.
Mom, you did good.
Mom.
Mom!
- Mom. - Mom.
Mom!
Mom...
- Mom. - Mom.
She left...
on a journey...
nobody can go with.
Her life could have been tiring, but it snowed that day...
as if to comfort her.
How will people remember my mom?
As an actress,
as the wife of an elite businessman,
or as a woman who lived a life with many ups and downs?
However, I remember her this way.
My mom always...
took steps to advance forward.
Even until the last moment.
