ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, COMPANIES, AND INCIDENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
FINALE
This white chocolate cacao powder truffle...
What are you doing here?
I came to have chocolate.
This one with black currant jam inside, and Lady...
Which one is the most delicious?
There are so many fancy kinds of chocolate these days.
It's delicious.
Didn't you tell me you don't eat chocolate?
I got scared that it might make me
want to go back to Wando.
But now,
I have you, Cha-young.
I won't ever
leave without you.
Can you tell me
why you stopped eating chocolate
after your mother passed away?
You told me your mother passed away due to an accident, right?
What kind of accident was it?
A car accident.
She was crossing the street,
and she got hit by a car.
She was on her way home
after she got chocolates for me.
So after that day, I stopped eating chocolate.
But why do you ask?
I was just wondering.
About what?
I thought maybe the lady who gave me that chocolate
might be your mother.
Your imagination went a bit too far.
I can't believe you'd assume that just because of a bar of chocolate.
You should write novels instead of being a chef.
I'm sorry I brought it up again. I know it's still not easy for you.
Let's do our best.
Let's make the best of our lives.
Let's make every moment count.
Let's do it for the lady
who gave you the chocolate, too.
Don't you think
she'd want that?
Are you free tomorrow evening?
I don't have any plans for now.
Would you like to come over to my place? Let's have a birthday party.
I'll prepare everything. You just need to show up.
You don't need to get me any gifts either. You're my gift.
PARKING
Be careful.
Emergency.
THE END
Your test is over.
Please park the car and engage the parking brake.
You have completed your test.
PASS
I finally got my driver's license. Now, let's go get a car.
How do you call this a pass?
And why do you want to buy a car?
There's one I've planned to buy as soon as I got my license.
I still need to save up a bit more money to buy it.
But let's go take a look.
Hui-na.
Let's go.
My gosh.
Will you please be gentle? You'll hurt the precious baby.
This is a GT model--
Is it okay if we discuss it between ourselves first?
-You know, see what this car is like? -Okay, sure.
Thank you.
Hop in.
This doesn't feel right.
Fasten your seatbelt.
-You're really going to get a license? -Of course.
What's wrong?
Are you worried I might die before that?
What's the matter with you?
If I die, then so be it.
But I might still be alive.
I don't want to lie around and do nothing with no plans whatsoever.
My life would be pathetic
if I couldn't even get a driver's license.
I'm sure I wasn't born to live such a meaningless life.
Before I found out about my illness, I lived a pathetic life
just like you.
I lived like I had a thousand years left and as if I was never going to die.
Hey, buddy.
Yes?
There's a place I really want to go once I get a car.
Can you come with me?
Where?
The sea.
You'll catch a cold.
Don't you need to go to work?
I took a day off.
What about the resident who bullies you
for having graduated from a university med school from out of Seoul?
What if he harasses you again?
It's okay.
In fact, he told me to have fun with you.
Really?
But I have to say, it feels really weird and awkward
to spend time with you like this.
You never come home, never take any days off,
and you work night and day.
You're like the busiest person in the country.
I thought I had to
work hard in order to make you happy.
But I only ended up
making you feel lonely.
I'm sorry. I had no idea.
I love the beach.
From now on,
spend time with me like this once in spring and once in fall.
I won't ask for more. Okay?
Let's go inside. Come on.
No, wait.
Here you go.
-My gosh, that's a lot. -Yes.
-Did you catch this? -Yes, of course.
My husband caught it today.
-Enjoy. -Thank you.
It looks delicious.
I'm going to start going to a cooking academy.
I'm such a horrible cook.
You come home after a hard day's work
only to have multigrain shake or instant noodles.
I'm sorry.
I like instant noodles.
-Here. -No, it's for you.
Wait.
Give me a minute. Let me make you a wrap as well.
There.
Hello? What's up? What?
-Sorry. I need to take this. -Okay.
Yes?
You found Ju Yeong-ha's guardian?
Did you contact Ju Yeong-ha?
I see.
No, I'll just talk to the patient's guardian myself.
We should try our best. It's the patient's family.
Yes.
Thank you, Dr. O.
Yes, okay. I'll see you in Seoul. Bye.
This is on the house.
Excuse me, ma'am. Did she go to the bathroom?
No, she paid for everything and left. She said that something urgent came up.
What?
Where did she go?
After I met you,
I was blessed with so much happiness.
Please make sure
I don't ever visit you again.
Don't skip your meals.
And I want you to be happy from now on, too.
Look at you staying still now that Kang's fastening your buttons.
On the other hand, you didn't even let Jun touch you.
Jun really wanted to come.
But I told him not to because I was worried
that you might embarrass him again.
And...
Why did you just pinch me?
By the way, why are you so silent, honey?
Exactly.
The acting chairwoman is awfully docile today.
Your devilish eyes seem a little less wicked today, too.
Are you not feeling well?
You seem to have recovered, so you should start working again.
Who are you to tell her what to do?
Are you her doctor?
What's the matter?
Were you looking forward to becoming more than just an acting chairwoman?
Are you upset that she'll be taking over again?
Seo-hun, follow me outside. I need to have a word.
-No, you're going to hit me. -You brat.
I'm not interested in going back to work.
I want to rest.
You guys are in charge of Geosung now.
I'll make sure to contemplate
what you said to me earlier.
Yes, you go ahead and do that.
AUNT HYE-MI
We could've talked in your office.
My mother-in-law and former chairwoman Ms. Han Yong-seol
was the person who built Geosung into what it is today.
I also did my best.
I spent one-third of each year pulling all-nighters at the hospital.
I never even got the chance to raise Jun like a proper mother.
And I had two stillborn babies after Jun.
I sacrificed everything
for Geosung.
My mother-in-law and I are the ones
who worked hard for Geosung.
So why does it matter that my husband
isn't my father-in-law's biological son?
What did your father do for Geosung?
He fell head over heels for a woman and ran away with her like a coward.
So why must I give up Geosung when my mother-in-law and I are
the ones who worked so hard for it?
Jun worked so hard.
But you just suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
And just because you're Lee Jae-hun's son,
you think you have the right to take everything from us?
Do you think
this makes any sense at all?
No, I don't think it makes sense.
What?
I think it's absurd and unfair that I get to be the owner of Geosung
just because of the fact that I'm Lee Jae-hun's son.
I really mean that.
Geosung belongs to those who sacrificed their lives for it.
I'm not even interested.
However,
that only applies as long as you promise not to get rid of the hospice.
You lunatic.
So you used the chairman position as leverage to maintain the hospice?
Seriously?
You asked her to maintain the hospice as it is
and agreed to keep silent in return?
Why?
Everything your mother said was right.
I did absolutely nothing for Geosung other than the fact
that I'm my dad's son.
You psycho.
Hello?
Hello? Jun?
There's something I've always wanted to ask.
I thought you hung up.
When you got transferred to the hospice because of your hand,
I thought
you'd either refuse to go
or do your best to return to the hospital.
But you accepted it more easily than I expected.
Why did you do that?
Did I?
I don't think so.
I visited Grandma
and complained about it a lot.
You were exhausted, weren't you?
You wanted to stop, didn't you?
You were relieved to have someone else
put brakes on you, right?
And I bet the people there ended up changing you.
If I'm still working here
when you no longer regret falling for Hui-ju,
I'll make you a warm bowl of rice and a delicious doenjang stew.
I'm going to try. I'll climb the mountain in front of me on just one leg.
After all, they ended up changing me as well.
Don't wait for me, Grandma.
I'm not going back.
I'm never going back...
to that hell you all live in.
That's not grass. It's a flower.
I didn't know.
Wait a second.
Look at me.
I said look at me.
You said you wanted to go out with me.
Then you should look at me in the eyes
and do your best to win my heart.
"Yeong-sil.
I know I used to be a gangster,
but I'm done with that life now. I'm trying to start over.
So can you reconsider?
Please?
You'll never be able to date a sexy and handsome guy like me.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you.
So forget the fact that you used to change my diapers
and start thinking of me as a man."
I came all the way here to say that.
But I realized that there's not much time.
What are you talking about?
You're breathing right now.
You can talk.
Your heart's beating nice and strong
at a warm temperature of 36.5°C.
I should've come earlier.
I should've come last year.
I should've come six months ago.
You aren't late just yet.
Everyone is terminally fated to die
from the moment they're born.
They just tend to forget that when they're living.
Who knows?
I might even die before you.
No.
You can't die until much later.
Someone who's as kind as you has to live a long life.
Only then can the people who can't go to heaven learn
that an angel really exists.
My gosh.
This is way too quick.
Your charm
just went up by one point.
My gosh.
I'm having a birthday party with my girlfriend today.
You'll be really glad to see her.
JUNG SU-HUI
Help me out, Chef Jung Su-hui.
FRIED CHICKEN
Leave the chicken to rest for 30 minutes.
Then season it with salt and pepper and mix it well.
COOKING METHOD
There we go.
Okay, nice.
Hello, this is Moon Cha-young.
Cha-young, it's me.
Who is this?
Did you forget your own mother's voice?
Is it you, Cha-young?
Delivery service.
Oh, okay.
-Thank you. -Bye.
Is it too flashy?
I can't believe I did it
for my own birthday.
I don't care. My girlfriend is too busy.
Shall I take off the balloons?
Whatever.
What's taking her so long.
I hope she didn't forget it.
Did she?
I'm sorry I'm late.
Happy birthday.
Did you make this cake?
Are you sure you cooked all this?
It's chicken.
Long ago, my father used to
sell fried chicken at a traditional market.
I've missed my dad's fried chicken.
Can I finish the whole thing today?
By the way,
why do you look so pretty today?
You're giving me butterflies.
Never mind, you always do.
Today is your birthday.
So I put on some makeup
and the most expensive dress I have just for the occasion.
Oh, I almost forgot.
All right. Make a wish and blow out the candle.
Thank you for blessing me
with this very moment.
It's not a wish.
I don't have a wish. I have everything I want.
Anyway,
when will you stop calling me Dr. Lee? I'm your boyfriend now.
Well...
I want to start talking casually to you from now on.
Should we
run away together?
To where?
It doesn't matter.
As long as no one can find me there.
I can do that.
Let's go.
Now?
Sure. You said it, might as well leave now.
Hang on.
I don't know which country we're going,
but it might be cold there.
Thank you for saying
that you'd come with me.
I've spent the whole day
trying to run away
from my mom.
My mom
is a horrible person.
Actually, I came here to avoid my mom.
But
I think I should meet her.
I just remembered something I need to tell her.
That's a shame.
We'll just have to elope next time.
Anyway,
good luck.
You must be Cha-young.
You look so pretty that I almost didn't recognize you.
It's been a while.
You're meeting your mom for the first time in 20 years.
What kind of response is that?
Am I your client or what?
I'll have the most expensive steak here.
Make it medium-rare.
What are you doing? Sit.
I'll just have a cup of coffee.
You're so stubborn just like your dad.
I just wanted to treat my long-awaited daughter
to some delicious steak.
I was so worried.
You seem quite happy now.
I'm glad that I look happy.
I was worried
that you might be happy, Mom.
Because of you
a lot of people had to suffer misfortune.
It wouldn't be right if you were the only happy person.
It's not my fault.
Even without me, they are so stupid
that things like that would've happened anyway.
Like your dad
who stood surety for his friend and lost all his fortune.
Did you forget
what we had to go through because of your stupid dad?
I've learned that there are only two ways in life.
You either get stabbed in the back or stab someone in the bac.
Those who get stabbed in the back rest easy
but those who stab don't, they say. But that's not true.
It's better to stab someone than to get stabbed.
Then you can at least have steak like this.
In the collapsed department store,
I met some lady.
When you told me to wait in the department store
and abandoned me.
That's because
I was being harassed by moneylenders
I thought they wouldn't do that to you with me gone.
"You have to get out of here alive."
She'd bought some chocolate for her son,
but she gave it to me.
Then she passed away.
I learned
what life is about from that lady.
Okay. I heard it from Tae-hyun.
That's why you live like such a fool.
You went to a famous culinary school in Italy.
But you're just looking after some dying people now.
You nitwit. Do you think people would appreciate it?
I wasn't going to see you again until my dying day.
But I've come all the way here because of...
how that lady taught me to live.
She said people are our last hope.
And you're a person.
I thought
you'd actually feel bad
for those whom you hurt.
What are you talking about?
Honey.
-Let's get out of here. -Why?
Mr. Jang found out that you're here.
He's on his way here with a cop he knows.
Damn it. That leech.
Hurry.
It's just five million won. How stingy.
I'll just pay him back and get this over with.
I'll give you a call later.
You can finish my steak.
And you should get the bill. I'll pay you back later.
Don't call me.
I won't answer it.
Not now.
Let's meet again in about ten years.
Then we will see
whose life was right.
Let's have a talk about it then.
Honey. We're going to get caught.
Let's go.
Do you want me to hold your hand?
I was worried,
so I was going to see you get on the subway.
But the next thing I know,
I was here.
I'm sorry if I startled you.
Please hold my hands.
My hands are freezing.
I'll get off
at the next station.
I'm sorry.
Could you give me a little more time?
Don't push me to come back soon.
Don't wait for me.
Don't feel bad for me.
And don't pity me.
I won't push you
nor wait for you.
Don't get lost though.
Just
make sure you come back.
I heard making pottery is good for spiritual training.
Shall I learn it too?
Hey, your mom and aunt
finally fought and even pulled each other's hair yesterday.
They each got a handful of hair pulled out.
Gosh, your grandma's blood pressure suddenly went up and...
Hey.
Come on, I'll make pottery for you.
Just go back to the hospital, okay?
You did six years of med school and worked as an intern resident. What a waste.
You're different from me.
You got that far with your abilities alone--
Be quiet, please.
Gosh, I'm so frustrated.
Right, I met Chairman Seo when I went to play golf yesterday.
He said his daughter keeps talking about you.
So many successful men hit on her, but she doesn't even bat an eye.
However, she said she'd meet you if you want to see her.
Gosh, that idiot.
He'll only come to his senses when he learns how tough life can be.
Excuse me.
You should go see a doctor soon.
Well...
I think you have a serious condition.
-You should go see-- -Do I know you?
Are you hitting on me now?
No, not at all. Sorry.
-Gosh. -Miss!
-Excuse me! -Yes.
-Please call an ambulance. Now. -Sure.
Miss, can you hear me?
Hold my hand if you hear me.
Can you hear me?
Who are you?
I'm Lee Jun, a neurosurgeon at Geosung University Hospital.
Don't worry.
To the ER at Geosung, please.
Just a moment.
Excuse me.
Well...
Please drop everything off at this address.
I thought these were going to the countryside.
You see,
I'm her husband.
We had a bit of a situation, so we couldn't live together.
I apologize for the hassle.
Well, all right then.
Please don't do this.
I'll only burden you
from now on.
I haven't even had a chance
to enjoy a proper meal prepared by you.
You can't run away like this, like a coward.
Just saying sorry
isn't enough.
What's done is done now.
So be it if I'm a terrible and devious man to stay by your side.
Should reincarnation be real,
we'll be given a chance to atone and apologize to the ones we wronged.
When that time comes,
I'll pay for everything that I did wrong.
Even if they forgive us,
I'll never forget and receive punishment for everything.
So in this life,
let me be terrible and devious for you.
Let's go for pizza.
Gosh, sir.
I said it's too far for you.
I'll order some for you.
His grandson took him out for pizza a while back,
so he says pizza is best when it's fresh out of a wood-fired oven.
Indeed. Pizza does taste the best when it's fresh out of a wood-fired oven.
Yes.
I haven't had lunch yet either.
-Why don't we go together, sir? -Really?
It's cold though. Are you wearing long johns underneath?
No, don't do this.
Then shall we get your jacket and scarf and head out?
-Dr. Lee. -Sure.
Dr. Lee.
Wait.
Hi, everyone. It's Hyun here.
Some of you call me the Headless Ghost, but I'm just tall.
I'm on the beach now.
I bet all of you
are surprised to see me instead of Hui-na.
I'm here
because Hui-na is away on a trip.
She said she was going to a place
where she can enjoy the warm sunlight and blue ocean.
Oh, right.
She asked me to tell you all how sorry she is
for leaving unexpectedly like this
without even saying goodbye.
She told me over and over how terrible...
she feels...
Please do it for me.
Tell them that I'm doing great
somewhere in the world.
Make everyone believe it.
Okay.
Because I really...
won't die.
I'll work hard and continue to live my life
to the fullest
in this beautiful world of ours.
Gosh.
As if today is your last day,
and as if you know that this moment will never return,
cherish every single moment
that comes by, ladies and gentlemen.
The day you wasted today
is the tomorrow that someone who died yesterday
so badly wished for.
I turned around and saw you
-Then I regretted leaving -Then I regretted leaving
-You are still in my heart -In my heart
I sound pretty horrible today.
It's okay. It's still better than yesterday.
That's true.
-Dae-sik. -Yes.
Don't tell people that you left the gang to be a singer.
Let's keep it to ourselves.
Yeong-sil. I have ears too, you know.
We said we'd aim for the popularity award, not the grand prize.
Right. Then shall we pick up where we left off?
-Oh, sure. -From "I turned around."
One, two, three, four.
-I turned around and saw you -And saw you
-Then I regretted-- -Then I regretted--
Na-ra!
My gosh!
I missed you.
That's why you're here?
Of course. I came because I missed you.
I missed Director Kwon
and Dr. Lee Kang as well.
I also missed the persimmon tree Suk-ja liked,
as well as the napa cabbage
Ms. Han and Chef Cha planted in the garden.
I missed Ji-yong's turtle too.
Sorry to interrupt, but we're participating in the preliminaries
for the show Korea Sings tomorrow,
which means we have to practice every moment we got.
In terms of what you missed, do you have more to list?
I have about 30 more to list.
And I might remember more things as I'm listing them.
She's Bae Na-ra.
If you missed everything and everyone,
why wouldn't you come back and work with us again?
Can I come back?
What are you talking about?
Go get changed. Hurry!
Hey, wait!
But what if your father comes back to get you? Wouldn't he grab you like...
He broke both legs while chasing a suspect,
so I'll be fine for a while.
Oh, so both his legs...
By the way,
who's that man wearing a matching T-shirt with you?
-Oh, this. -Oh, you mean
This guy?
He's my boyfriend.
What?
Go. Go on.
Hurry. Go!
Go on. Run! Quick!
You, sit down.
That made me happy.
Cut it out.
My girlfriend.
I'm sorry.
Could you give me a little more time?
You're a pretty good cook.
It looks tasty.
You guys went all the way to Wando.
Are you sure nothing happened between you two?
Did you have a good sleep?
Gosh, this is so crazy.
I was worried about you.
So you just stayed here and waited for me until now?
Hey! Gosh...
You should just hang up. I don't think he's in his right mind.
I'm really okay. It doesn't hurt at all now.
Get on my back.
Come on. Hurry.
I hope the spaceship that Ji-yong is waiting for will get lost
and end up coming here really late after about 100 years.
You're doing well, right?
I know you'll wait for me even if I tell you not to.
I'm sorry I can't return soon knowing you're waiting for me.
I'm telling you this in case you're worried.
So far,
I have never been lost,
not even once.
All because
you followed me no matter where I went
and stood there for me holding a guiding light
so that I wouldn't fall
or get hurt.
You told me that I've been doing well
and that I just have to keep on living the way I have been.
I'm grateful
that such a wonderful man like you
makes my heart flutter.
Should we
run away together?
To where?
It doesn't matter.
As long as no one can find me there.
The fact
that I'm in love with such a warmhearted person like you
makes me happy.
I...
truly
love you with all my heart.
Can you wait and go back with me?
Cha-young.
Thank you very much.
Sir! Sir, how are you?
Good. Do you remember me?
Of course, I remember you.
You are the customer who had three bottles of our most expensive wine.
Which bottle shall I prepare for you today?
-I didn't come for the wine today. -Oh.
I actually came here looking for Cha-young. Is she here?
No, I'm sorry. Cha-young is not here today.
Then, I'll wait for her here.
I do not know anywhere to go.
Sir.
This is one of our chefs and she's Korean.
Enjoy.
I was starving,
and he made a warm home-cooked meal for me.
Excuse me, sir.
It's ready.
I'll be right there.
See you later.
I've been running for a long time
to come to you.
There were times
when I wanted to stop.
At times,
I wanted to flop down and collapse.
And sometimes,
I got lost.
But because of you,
I could come this far.
Did you get some rest?
I came to get you.
I wanted you to get more rest,
but I missed you way too much.
I wanted to
rest with you, too.
Our story ends here,
but we know that this is not the end.
We will get lost again at one point or another,
and lingering despair will make us flop down along the way as well.
But as long as we hold onto hope,
nothing
can break us down.
We will remember that fact no matter what.
To those of you
who are walking by my side now.
Thank you.
