ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, COMPANIES, AND INCIDENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
EPISODE 15
What happened?
I should be going to work,
but I kept slacking off and wouldn't step out of this place,
so my mom sent some people over.
Hold on a moment. I'll be right back.
Clench your fist and open.
Thank goodness there's no nerve damage.
My nerves can be damaged,
as long as I can still make pottery.
I'll quit being a doctor anyway.
Want to grab some soju with me?
This is driving me nuts.
You hit on me first.
She totally gave me the flirty look.
You said you were in a funk and asked me to buy you a drink.
When did I say such a thing? What a nutjob.
Babe, this guy must be a psycho.
I'm scared.
You psycho, you'd better come to your senses.
-Shall I teach you a lesson? -I'm not a psycho.
I really was not trying to hit on your girlfriend.
I was just...
Cha-young!
This bastard beat me up like this.
Tell the officer that this asshole needs to be arrested.
You hit on my girlfriend.
I beat you up because you deserved it. You horny little shit!
Quiet down. Goodness.
Are you Mr. Moon's family?
Gosh, Cha-young.
I think I have a broken rib.
I'm struggling to breathe.
Hey.
Stay put.
Ma'am.
I have nothing to do with this Mr. Moon.
Please do not contact me anymore
Just proceed according to your protocols and the law.
I checked the CCTV footage and got a statement from the witness.
-Please take a look at this. -Thanks.
-You didn't get hurt, did you? -No, I'm okay.
I think you scraped your hand here.
God damn it.
Stay put.
-It hurts, doesn't it? -I'm good.
HANDO SPORTS CENTER CONSTRUCTION DEFECT CASE
CEO OF SINMYEON CONSTRUCTION JO CHEOL-U RECEIVES CONDITIONAL PROBATION
COLLAPSE LEAVES 10 DEAD AND 68 INJURED
How's your hand?
The tremors.
It's still there.
It wasn't intentional.
I did my best.
Too bad if you don't believe me.
And if you want to blame my lack of competence,
I'll gladly
accept it.
If this wrist
hadn't had its accident,
I guess I could've outdone you with my skills.
Yes.
You probably would have.
Then Geosung
would've been mine too.
Yes, probably.
But then what?
What would've happened
after that?
I'd have beaten Lee Jun with my skills
and thereby
made Geosung mine.
But then what?
Would I be happy
after all of that?
No.
Right?
I think so too.
For what have we
been fighting so hard?
I think we finished the soju.
Do you have any booze stashed away?
Are you going to stay here longer?
I like this place.
I can breathe here.
What about the hospital?
There are many other doctors.
And I'm not even that competent as a doctor.
You know that better than anybody else.
But Uncle and Aunt won't let you stay here.
They'll send people over again and vandalize the place.
Or they'll come here and do it themselves.
It's okay, I'll just make some more then.
-You called a chauffeur, right? -Yes.
-Please wait in the car. -Sure.
Remember to keep the first aid kit in the car.
We'll probably need it again in the near future.
I'm off.
We'll leave now, then.
I have something to tell you.
That dried pollack isn't me.
I bet you want to beat me up.
Why hit the dried pollack instead?
It didn't even do anything wrong.
Here.
I'm right here, so don't beat up that innocent fish.
Go ahead and hit the one you actually want to beat up.
How did you get out?
I caused a huge scene at the police station.
I took the cop's guns and said they'd die if they chased me.
Tae-hyun!
You actually believe that?
Obviously it's because I didn't do anything wrong.
Why else?
Do you really think I'm messed up enough
to steal guns from the cops and flee?
There were three witnesses who saw that tramp
making a move on me first.
And the CCTV footage all showed that I'm completely innocent!
You must be embarrassed that you have a brother like me.
I bet you want me gone.
Why did you take me in back then?
You should've just kicked me out. Why did you take me back?
Because we're family.
Because you're the only family I have in the whole wide world.
And because I forgot the fact that you, too, had abandoned me
just like Mom did.
Then do you want me gone now?
From now on, just tell people that I'm not your brother.
Tell everyone that you have nothing to do with me whatsoever,
just like what you told the cops earlier.
You're not saying you won't do that.
Fine. Let's officially cut ties.
Either you remove your name from the family register,
or I will.
Grandma wanted you
to inherit Geosung from the get-go.
That's why she went all the way to Wando and brought you to Seoul.
I was just a pacemaker whose job was to train
and provoke you because you had no desire for power.
Who wrote that novel?
Did you come up with that story?
I guess we drank too much.
-Get some rest. -Your dad, Lee Jae-hun,
was the only legitimate child of the Geosung family.
My dad doesn't know
that Grandpa wasn't his biological father.
I hope he never finds out.
But if he does, it is what it is.
But you know about it now, which means only five people know about it.
Grandma, you and I,
Grandpa, who passed away from the emotional shock upon finding out,
and my mother, Yoon Hye-mi.
You should get going.
But if that's true,
wouldn't it be only reasonable to take it to your grave?
I just don't want to cheat, that's all.
The one thing I hate the most is cheating.
I told them that over a thousand times.
But no one ever listens.
Everyone's so full of themselves.
How am I supposed to find you if you hide here like this?
I missed you so much.
I must reek of alcohol.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
I can't really smell anything, you know.
Did something bad happen?
No.
You seem a little down.
I wonder why.
Is it because I skipped dinner?
Shall I make you dinner?
No, it's okay. It's late.
I'll gain weight.
I can make something that is low in calories.
Where did I see it?
In the vegetable garden?
It's really okay.
It's good.
You're a pretty good cook.
I wanted to be a chef too.
I love pumpkin fritters.
I'm glad.
My mom loved it too.
You said your mother passed away because of an accident, right?
That must've been hard.
But I feel like you had it harder though.
Shouldn't I hold your hand first?
Next time.
You can do it next time.
Today, I'll hold your hand.
Ms. Jung.
Thanks to you, I can enjoy and cherish these precious everyday moments.
-Are you watching over me now? -Is it good?
I will continue to share your warmth with those
-who are still in need of warmth -I prefer the crispy ones.
and go on with my life.
I want to tell you about my first love, whom I met again after such an ordeal,
as well as stories about my family and my wounds,
which are still hanging over my head.
I have so much to tell you, Ms. Jung.
I'll tell you more
when I see you.
Good night.
The day when we were no longer "us"
The day when we became complete strangers
-My gosh. -Isn't his name Min Dae-sik?
I turned around and saw you
Then I regretted leaving
You are
-My gosh, he's so good. -Still
In my heart
He's such a good singer.
But I couldn't stop you
Could you understand why I couldn't?
I made the choice for your sake
I'm sorry, my love alone
-Enough. -Won't be enough for you
I hope you find someone better
I turned around and saw you
Quiet down, please.
What? Are you touched by my song?
I wrote the song as well as the lyrics while thinking about you.
Do you want to hear it one more time?
-Dae-sik. -Yes?
Do you have a death wish?
-Yes. -Why you little...
Don't hit me in the head, please. My head isn't doing so well these days.
Not just these days. There has always been something wrong with your head.
Why do you think I dumped you?
Right, why did you dump me?
Because
you're not a man.
Yeong-sil, I am a man.
Gosh. To me, you're not.
To me, you're...
You're just like a kid.
Even with all this stubble.
I always carried you on my back because your sister was so frail.
You probably don't even remember.
Hey!
How do you feel now? You still don't think I'm a man?
Answer me. That made your heart flutter, didn't it?
No,
not at all.
You kissed me so many times when you were little.
You'd give me a peck on the lips after eating, peeing and even throwing up.
You did it all the time.
Stop polluting this hospital,
Go home while I'm still talking to you nicely.
You shouldn't be here,
kiddo.
Gosh, I can't believe I had my first kiss with that punk.
No, that was not a kiss.
It was just a quick peck on the lips.
His lips were so moist...
I mean, plump... No.
My gosh,
that's such a nice outfit.
I love the tie you're wearing.
-Are you done singing for the day? -Yes.
Director Kwon, do you know this guy?
He volunteers at our hospital.
He also sings for our patients and their families from time to time.
I heard you have a knack for cleaning and doing laundry.
What?
Director Kwon.
You obviously don't know what he used to do.
He used to be...
Sorry?
-A rug? -He knows that I used to be a thug.
He used to be a gangster, so what?
You said you left the gang for good to be a singer.
Right. I was supposed to have my finger chopped off,
but then I wouldn't have been able to play the guitar.
so I let them beat me from head to toe.
I paid the price and left the gang for good.
Oh, dear.
And I got plastic surgery for my entire face.
My gosh.
You should've asked around before jumping the gun.
I know. These days, when I sleep--
-Enough. -Gosh, that's too bad.
Director Kwon.
You haven't heard him sing, right?
I can't believe he left the gang to be a singer
when he can't sing well at all. I just don't get it.
Hearing his singing can't be good for the patients.
It's medical abuse. It's pure violence.
You don't necessarily have to sing well to be a singer.
Exactly. There are so many singers who can't sing well.
You can eat Even if you can't use chopsticks well
-When you're eating -Gosh, hey. Enough.
Gosh, I bet he drank again.
What? Is it number two?
Gosh, it's disgusting.
Did you come all the way to the hospice to poop?
Director Kwon, you know what?
He's a stalker.
He keeps chasing after me, saying he likes me.
Although he's good at heart,
we can't just take in anyone.
Are you all right?
Do you want me to pat on your back?
No, I'm fine.
Did you see his brain CT?
Yes.
What do you think?
He told me
that he doesn't want Ms. Ha to find out about his illness yet.
He says he'll tell her himself when the time comes.
Okay.
It's not like that.
Okay.
Your grandmother is asleep.
Right. I'll call you back.
I heard you've been skipping work
and firing pottery at the workshop.
How are things going?
Pretty well.
Not you, I meant your mom.
Her only son ran away to the mountains in a rebel, only to scoop dirt.
She must be out of her mind now.
Once your mom passes out, I'll visit her in the hospital.
With some popcorn for the occasion.
No...
No. Don't!
No!
No... My gosh.
No!
-Mom. -Grandma.
-No... -My gosh.
-No. -Mom.
Grandma.
Are you all right?
Hey, when did you...
What?
My gosh.
Mom.
I guess you had a nightmare.
What was that about? You look horrible.
Did you just shake off Jun's hand?
Why did you do that?
Why?
Jun, I don't think she wants to see you now.
Get out.
You get out.
Why would Mom not want to see him?
What did Jun do wrong?
Why did you just shake off your eldest grandson's hand, Mom?
Will you keep quiet? She's asleep now?
She's not asleep.
She just shook off Jun's hand to humiliate him.
What was that for, Mom? Why?
Why are you trying to embarrass Jun now?
What is your problem with...
I see. Is it
because he was being silly and said he wanted to quit?
His mother told me
that Jun here
is going through puberty again.
He was too busy studying to hit puberty in school.
So it just came again.
So he's being defiant for no reason...
Jun.
Jun, your grandmother really needs her rest.
So for the time being,
-it would be nice if you didn't come back. -You brat! How could you say that?
How dare you tell my son not to come again?
What's the bandage on your hand?
You sent those people
to destroy everything here.
I just told them to trash the place, not hurt you.
Are you hurt bad?
Unfortunately, it's not that bad.
Kang took good care of me.
Kang did?
He used to be so kind and gentle.
Before we messed with him.
Just come back to the hospital.
Don't you think it is cowardly of you to rebel against me like this?
I wanted to be
a good brother to Kang at least once.
I wanted to say that my parents are wrong for once in my life.
But...
I restrained my anger
and have come this far by being as cowardly as I was told.
So?
Being cowardly got you this far.
If you remain cowardly, it could even take you as far as you'll ever go.
Why stop here?
Because you're just too wrong, Mother.
I'll let it slide for the second time. But there won't be the third time.
If you damage my property again like this, I'll call the police.
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid we can't accept any more patients.
What do we do then?
Where should we go?
What should people like us do?
-I'm so sorry. -We're just supposed to die like this?
-I don't know what to say. -What should we do now?
Yes.
Well...
You didn't eat yet, did you?
The thing is
before Seon-ae left,
she asked me to take care of your meals.
She says you always have instant noodles.
She told me you might
start eating food from the cafeteria with her gone.
I'm sorry.
Do you want me to leave with this?
Just leave it there. I'll eat.
Thank you.
Why...
do you thank me?
What?
I'm the one who gets to eat.
Why would you feel thankful or sorry about it?
You're right.
Why do I feel thankful and sorry?
I'm the one who worked hard to make this.
I was acting like Seon-ae before I knew it.
What's wrong with me?
I must be out of my mind.
Honey.
Get out of here now. Get out!
If you don't leave, I'll call someone to drag you out.
Ms. Han.
Seon-suk, what are you still doing here?
Just get out. Out!
Hurry and get out of here before my husband comes home.
Haven't you done enough to sponge off your brother-in-law?
He paid off Dad's hospital bills and you lot's tuition and allowances.
He works his fingers to the bone
without sleeping and coming home.
But you guys are just busy drinking.
Why does my husband
have to pay the tabs for your drinks, clothes, and shoes?
Seon-suk, did you lend him money or what?
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
I'll never do it again--
Forget it. Get out already!
I'd give anything
to live a decent life without worrying about my family.
Get out of here! Out!
Get out!
Where is she supposed to go?
Honey.
Your brother and sister are no strangers.
They are like my family.
Why would you kick them out when I'm fine with it?
Honey...
I guess
she's mistaken you for her sister, Ms. Moon.
I think so.
Actually her brother and sister were quite selfish.
Seon-ae worked hard to take care of her siblings.
She even gave up college to pay her father's hospital bills.
But now that they have their own families,
and she's old and sick,
I guess they broke off contact with her.
I'm sorry you had to deal with all that.
I'm okay.
She's like that sometimes, but most of the time she's very nice.
She treats me like her real sister.
Would you like some rice cake?
Ms. Han has been talking about this for the past few days.
She seems to want some, so I made it.
Seon-ae doesn't like rice cake.
She had to eat unsold rice cake all the time as a kid,
so she doesn't even want to smell it.
My mother-in-law worked as a housekeeper at a omaegi rice cake shop.
I'm the one
who likes omaegi rice cake.
Can I try one?
-Sure. I'll get you a plate. -It's okay.
It's good.
It tastes just like the rice cake that my mother-in-law got me.
Oh, right.
Drink some water.
Thanks.
Hey, Ms. Han.
Seon-ae.
Honey, when did you come?
Your mom
brought some rice cake to the hospital and handed it out to my colleagues, saying
"Please take good care of my son-in-law.
Please overlook his mistakes
and be generous about his blunders.
Please forgive him if he does anything wrong."
Did my mom say that?
Gosh, that silly old lady.
What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
Why did you do that?
What?
Why did you do that to me?
What did I do to you?
All I did was work hard
and do my best to make ends meet.
Why did you do that to me?
Why?
Why did you do that to me?
Why did you do that? Why?
Why?
Why...
Why?
Why...
YUN HUI-NA
-How many shots of morphine did she get? -She got 6. Each shot was 10mg.
We gave you a maximum amount of painkillers.
The pain will get better with time.
Can you bear with it until then?
What's that?
Please turn on some music.
Music? Okay, sure. Just a second, Hui-na.
Who should we listen to today?
How about Seventeen?
There you go, Hui-na. Do you hear that?
My journey to go meet you Will be a good one
And when I see how you feel about me
It'll give me the jitters
BITS AND PIECES OF OUR MEMORIES
YOU WERE THE PRETTIEST BRIDE WE HAD EVER SEEN
I'M SORRY, MIN-SEONG. I LOVE YOU
JI-YONG, HAVE FUN WITH DAD UP THERE. FROM MIN-YONG.
SEONG-CHEOL, DON'T BE SICK IN HEAVEN
The people here at the hospice
aren't just people who are dying.
They're living their lives here.
And they're cherishing every day that they have.
I think there should also be doctors
who can accompany patients until the end so that they can end their lives in peace,
even when they are unable to continue their treatment.
The one thing I hate the most is cheating.
I told them that over a thousand times.
But no one ever listens.
AUNT HYE-MI
It's Kang, Aunt Hye-mi.
Remember what you said to me last time?
I didn't get to give you a proper answer because I had to leave in a hurry.
-Please get me a shot of espresso. -Yes, ma'am.
Come in.
Hui-na.
I like your hairstyle today. It's really sexy.
I feel great today.
Yes, I can tell.
Somebody sent you songpyeon. Where do you want me to put it?
-The cafeteria? -No.
It's really sunny today, so I want to go outside.
-Hello. -Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Are you okay?
Why do you do this?
Because people are waiting.
I'm a famous Youtuber.
I have over 10,000 subscribers.
But you're sick right now. You shouldn't be--
People don't know that I'm sick.
And I plan to keep it that way, so you'd better keep it a secret too.
Hello, everyone. It's me, Hui-na.
Let me show you what I'm going to introduce to you today.
It's what we eat every year during the Chuseok holidays.
Ta-da.
They're songpyeons from each region of our country.
I know I promised to do a live show this Chuseok,
but I couldn't keep my promise because I had a cold.
Now,
This is pumpkin songpyeon from Chungcheong Province.
It's so delicious.
This one is plum flower songpyeon from Jeolla Province.
Isn't it pretty?
My goodness.
And this one
is potato songpyeon from Gangwon Province.
It's so delicious.
Hey.
Hey, wake up.
Hui-na. Hui-na!
This is so annoying.
I have to record it all over again.
I'm sorry I put you through so much.
I never even got to take you someplace nice to eat.
I hope
we meet again in heaven.
Honey.
Didn't I make it clear that you can't film her here?
Please leave.
Get out.
Why? Why can't we film her?
I'm going to leave after I film my wife.
You can't do that.
I don't want to talk to a minion like you.
Where's the director?
He's not in at the moment.
You can't shoot here if Dr. Lee doesn't give you permission.
-Call the chairwoman of Geosung. -Yes, sir.
Why does that guy look so familiar?
I'll be damned. It's as if everyone thinks they have the right
to abuse their power these days.
If you did something wrong,
you should apologize properly.
-What? -Don't try to be sly
and make people pity you by using your sick wife.
-What did you just say? -Sir.
My gosh.
Ten people ended up losing their lives
in your poorly constructed building.
How many construction companies in Korea do you think sticks to the plan,
uses the right materials, and finishes the construction on time?
Other construction companies do the same thing.
I only got caught because I was unlucky.
CEO OF SINMYEON CONSTRUCTION JO CHEOL-U ON PROBATION
That's right. I read about him in the newspaper.
He got released on probation on the construction defect case.
People died.
Yes, so I paid them money. Didn't I?
People
lost their lives.
Everyone dies.
They say the fate of man lies in the heavens.
There were other people trapped in the collapsed building,
but some survived unlike those who died, didn't they?
They survived
and are living just fine.
Right.
The people who died were just unlucky,
just as I was for getting caught.
Do you get it now? You little punk.
-Dr. Lee, don't. -You low-life scum!
Sir! Who the hell are you?
-You punk! -What are you so proud of?
-What was that for? -How can you be so brazen?
So what if they survived?
Do you think their lives are ever going to be the same?
The fact they're still breathing
and living like normal people doesn't mean their lives are okay!
You didn't just kill ten people.
You killed tens of thousands of people.
Those who died,
those who survived,
and all their families.
You killed all of them.
Do you get it?
If you did something wrong,
please just admit it and apologize.
Why did you beat him up like that?
Will you please say something?
I'm Moon Cha-young, Tae-hyun's older sister.
You're his family?
No, we're not related to each other in any kind of way.
You're not my sister. I thought we agreed to cut ties.
If you stay here,
you'll only end up in trouble as well.
So just get out of here.
She's not my sister, so you can talk to me.
Will you please turn around and leave?
I made you come to the police station two days in a row.
What are you, stupid?
Pretty soon, I'm going to change my first and last name.
I'm thinking of an English name like DiCaprio or Ashton.
What are you doing?
We're at a police station.
Please don't get the wrong idea.
We're siblings.
I hate to admit it, but we look alike. And we have the same parents.
We're...
We're family.
She's my family.
I thought I was the only one who suffered.
I thought I was the only one living a miserable life.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Tae-hyun.
I'm sorry.
When did you come here?
An hour and 20 minutes ago.
Doesn't your neck hurt?
I'm guessing you were sitting like that for at least two hours.
Tae-hyun will most likely get released tomorrow.
Yes, he told me.
Your brother asked me to buy you chocolate.
He told me you have to eat chocolate when you're having a hard time.
Let's share.
I don't eat chocolate.
Then why did Mr. Ha leave you a box of chocolates?
I liked them when I was little.
But I stopped eating them after my mom passed away.
Chocolate must be like soul food to you.
I guess it gives you strength.
I promised myself
that I'll become someone who can help people
if I managed to survive.
When I was down there,
I decided to become a generous person
who selflessly shares what she has with others if I lived.
That's what I told myself.
I wanted to be like the lady who gave me her chocolate.
To me,
chocolates are like
a compass.
They tell me which way to go.
I need to go to the bathroom.
I'm sorry. I'll be right back.
Okay.
Even if it's hard,
you must hold out until help arrives.
Eat the chocolate
and get out of here alive.
If she had the chocolate herself
instead of giving it to me,
she could still be alive.
So I always felt sorry,
and it made my heart ache.
That lady
who gave you the chocolate.
What...
was she like?
I guess you wouldn't know her name.
I do know her name.
I've never forgotten her.
Ms. Jung Su-hui.
Are you free tomorrow evening?
Let's have a birthday party.
I'll prepare everything. You just need to show up.
I don't have a wish. I have everything I want.
Thank you for blessing me
with this very moment.
Should we
run away together?
I was worried
that you might be happy, Mom.
But now,
I have you, Cha-young.
I won't ever
leave without you.
Could you give me a little more time?
I'm sorry.
