CHOCOLATE
ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, COMPANIES,
AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
This is all worn out, but go ahead and use it.
Thank you.
You take the umbrella.
Ms. Han needs me, so I need to hurry back.
Wait.
It's not good to get soaked in acid rain.
Let's go together.
EPISODE 6
Aren't you from our hospice?
Why are you here?
Hey!
Where are you running off to?
I'm not running off. I'm on my way to see my mom.
Where is your mom?
She got married to some guy.
Please don't tell my brother.
Where is your mom?
My brother had hid this, but I found it.
You can't go there all by yourself.
Tell your mom to meet you here.
She doesn't like coming to see me.
Let me out!
You said your mom doesn't like coming to see you.
I have to give her my gift for her birthday.
She sent me this as a gift on my birthday,
so I want to give her a gift too!
Then go with your brother.
If he finds out, he'll be like, "You crazy idiot."
He'll totally say that.
You can't go in your current condition. Later on, when you're fully recovered--
I'm never going to get better. I know that.
I'm not going back to the hospice. I have to go see my mom.
Let me out!
Dr. Lee, you're mean.
You're a dumb meanie.
Gongju is about three hours away.
I'll wake you up when we get there.
Here goes.
Tae-hyun.
Have some food.
I don't feel like eating.
Still, you have to eat.
Being the glutton you are, you haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning.
Who says gluttons can't lose appetite?
Just leave me alone already.
Are you acting like this because you feel guilty about Mr. Kim's death?
Why would I feel guilty?
He was terminally ill and bound to die any day.
Why is that my fault?
I'm mad because my Overwatch account is suspended for a month!
Right, it's not your fault that he passed away.
He wanted to go to heaven and eat better jajangmyeon.
That's why he passed away.
Don't beat yourself up.
I'll just leave the porridge here, then.
Why would I beat myself up? I'm not an idiot like you!
Jajangmyeon in heaven? Give me a break.
People take advantage of you because you still believe such bullshit.
You moron.
I bet that idiot still believes that rabbits live on the moon.
Pearls are tears of mermaids?
Then what are black pearls?
Were the mermaids wearing mascara?
God! That naive fool.
How is she going to survive in this tough world?
Damn it!
POSTS
I'm sorry.
When you're having jajangmyeon in heaven,
ask them to put an egg on top.
When we meet again,
I'll buy you a proper jajangmyeon.
KIM HUI-JU
Did your guardian go somewhere?
Oh, my husband? He went to work.
I asked Director Kwon, and he said you can eat gimbap.
Thank you.
I love gimbap.
This is called cherry blossom gimbap.
If you didn't get to see the cherry blossoms in the spring,
you can have this gimbap instead.
I didn't know such gimbap existed.
What does it look like?
I can't really see because of my illness.
It's so good.
I think I know what it looks like now that I've tasted it.
This
is plum blossom tea.
Have this tea while you eat gimbap so that you don't choke on it.
The tea smells like plum blossoms.
I could smell cherry blossoms from the gimbap.
Please tell me if you ever have cravings for anything.
I'll make whatever I can.
Dr. Lee Jun made a beautiful plate for you.
Jun did?
Yes. He asked me
to make sure you get it,
but I told him I'd give it to you with food on it.
Gosh, that fool.
I thought he had smashed everything, but I guess he had saved one.
Thank you, chef.
Can I ask you one more question?
Why did Dr. Lee Kang
come to the hospice?
Because he's a surgeon who no longer can perform surgery.
Why not? Why can't he operate on patients?
Ask him directly if you're curious.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Hello. I'm Ye-sol, Min-yong's friend.
Ji-yong hasn't had a chance to learn the alphabet because of his illness,
so I'm writing down what he's saying.
We're here.
Right, I forgot.
Thank you.
Dr. Lee, are you coming with me?
Yes.
NEUROSURGERY SEO HYEON-CHEOL
Just a second.
-Hey, what's up? -We have a problem, Kang.
Remember the AVM patient, Park Pil-ho?
He was brought to the ER because of a seizure
caused by alcohol consumption.
We wanted to know if he needed another embolization
-or radiation... -I'm going in!
-Wait! -You were his doctor, you know.
That patient already finished his first AVM embolization.
He needs radiosurgery, but he never came back.
Can you explain his current condition again?
Ms. Moon.
You can make your payment and pick up your prescription.
Okay, thank you.
I thought I might not see you this year.
It's not getting worse or anything,
but I came to get my medication just in case.
Oh, right.
I heard you work at the cafeteria in our hospice.
Yes.
I heard Dr. Lee Kang transferred there too.
I met him.
Hello.
Did you see where the little boy who just came here went?
A boy? I didn't see him. Who are you talking about?
-Can we pay? -Sorry about that.
-What's our total? -It's 90,000 won.
-Did you enjoy the food? -Yes, we did.
I'm sorry.
Ji-yong.
Ji-yong!
Yun Ji-yong!
What are you talking about?
What do you mean, you lost Ji-yong?
Where are you?
Where?
Gongju?
Yes, I just called the police now.
I'll keep looking.
I'm sorry.
Why did Dr. Lee Kang transfer to the hospice?
There's something wrong with his wrist.
Neurosurgeons often perform surgery
for small blood vessels in the brain,
so their hands are very important.
But his hand started shaking during surgery,
so he was taken out before he could even finish it.
Min-yong.
Cha-young.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Ji-yong...
Did something
happen to Ji-yong?
That crazy idiot. I'll kill him when I find him!
I have to go find him. Can you lend me some money for the bus fare?
SEOUL, GONGJU
It's okay. We'll find him.
There, there.
You're looking for a kid?
Yes. I saw him going inside earlier but can't find him.
It's a seven-year-old boy. He's about this tall.
The one wearing a big T-shirt.
His eyes looked like those of a startled frog. Is that him?
Yes, it is. Did you see him?
I wonder if he's that Seoul lady's son.
"Seoul lady"?
There's a young woman who's originally from Seoul,
but she vanished in the middle of washing the dishes.
She has eyes
that look like a startled frog's, too.
Then could I get her contact information or address?
I don't have her contact information.
But I heard she lives at a building
near Gongju Church, or somewhere like that.
-Hey, kid! -Dr. Lee.
I have my mom's address. Ji-yong must be there.
What's the address?
Here.
But I promised her
that I'd never visit her again.
Isn't that Ji-yong?
Ji-yong!
Yun Ji-yong.
You crazy idiot. What the heck are you doing here?
Min-yong.
Cha-young.
Dr. Lee.
Do you have any idea how worried I was?
Min-yong, don't cry.
I'm fine.
Yes. We found Ji-yong, so it's all good.
Don't worry.
Did you see your mom?
Yes.
She gave me money, saying I should get something nice to eat.
Where is she now?
She told me to get something nice to eat
and never visit her again.
Cha-young is asking you where Mom is now.
What is it? Did something happen to her?
The man mom lives with,
he beat her up.
Ji-yong is okay, but his brother Min-yong suddenly collapsed.
We're at the hospital now.
His BT is 38.2 degrees. He has nausea and is vomiting,
so he's on an IV at the moment.
Yes, I'll bring them back tonight.
Okay.
Did you fall ill because I worried you?
Yes, so don't disappear on me without a word again.
Okay. From now on, I'll make sure I tell you before I disappear.
Just don't disappear on me ever again.
Stay glued to me at all times, okay?
Okay.
Promise.
Stamp. Promise sealed.
-Are you all right? -Yes, I feel totally fine now.
I don't feel sick at all.
I know.
-Then you won't scold me, right? -We'll see about that.
Min-yong.
Please forgive my brother, Dr. Lee.
Where is Cha-young?
Ji-yong forgot to give Mom a gift.
So Cha-young said she'd bring it to Mom.
Mom. It's me, Cha-young.
I'm waiting for you at the department store. Why aren't you coming?
I've been here for three hours already. When are you coming?
I'll wait on the first floor.
Mom...
Excuse me.
Is this Jangmi Townhouse?
I'm sorry,
but do you know Ms. Yang Seung-hui
who lives
in Jangmi Townhouse?
I'm sorry,
but do you know Min-yong and Ji-yong?
This is a birthday gift from Ji-yong for his mom.
If you know Ji-yong's mom,
will you please give this to her?
If you ever meet Ji-yong's mom,
will you ask her
if this is the happiness she got in return
for abandoning her own children?
If you ever meet her,
please tell her happy birthday.
And can you...
Can you please ask her
if she knows
that today is Ji-yong's last birthday?
Are you still mad at me?
No.
If not, why did you not say anything
when I told you I'm hungry?
I didn't hear you.
If you were him, you'd be upset too.
You just ran away without telling him.
I guess you got a good scolding from Director Kwon.
-Aren't you hungry? -See?
You ask my brother if he's hungry.
But you pretended you didn't hear when I said I was hungry.
Min-yong, aren't you hungry?
Did you meet Ji-yong's mom?
Aren't you hungry? I haven't eaten anything yet today.
And Min-yong didn't eat anything since breakfast.
Me too. I didn't eat anything after breakfast.
And I got to eat only half of the rice cake skewer because of Min-yong.
Today is my birthday.
Really?
We still have five hours left before your birthday ends.
Let's have a birthday party.
Ji-yong, what do you want to eat?
What do you want to eat?
Tuna-mayo, triangle gimbap, and spicy instant noodles.
Sausage, dumplings, mangoes, eggs,
and chicken.
SEAWEED SOUP
We need seaweed soup for a birthday party.
Ji-yong wanted dumplings.
MEATBALLS, SPICY INSTANT NOODLES
TUNA-MAYO TRIANGLE GIMBAP
SEAWEED SOUP WITH RICE
Done.
SPICY INSTANT NOODLES
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Ji-yong
Happy birthday to you
Make a wish.
Oh, right.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MOM, I MISS YOU
Mom, happy birthday.
I'm really happy that you have
the same birthday as me.
Min-yong!
There are dumplings and sausages in the seaweed soup.
It's mine.
I got the birthday gift that you sent me.
It's a little too big for me, so Grandma told me to wear it next year.
Then she let me wear it as we never know what will happen next year.
I'll wear it when I go to see you.
Mom, I miss you.
I want to have a birthday party with you.
My birthday gift for you is a happy sandwich.
When Dad was alive,
he bought it for me without telling you or Min-yong.
It's really delicious.
It makes me happy every time I eat it.
He bought it because I don't eat well and fall sick often,
so I don't want you to be upset about it.
I really love you, Mom.
Love, Ji-yong.
Yes, they split perfectly.
I want to have some of that too.
It's too spicy for you.
You always get to eat all the delicious things.
You even blew out the candle.
You get to do all the good stuff.
Gosh, I'm so unlucky.
I don't think you're unlucky at all. You should consider yourself lucky.
If I had a brother like Min-yong,
I would be so happy and excited.
Thank you.
What nonsense.
It's not nonsense. You know Tae-hyun, right?
A guy like him is my younger brother.
That's right. I'm really sorry that he's your brother.
I know. I'm the unluckiest person in this room.
You can't hold a candle to the sun.
Just drink your milk.
No, I'm the unluckiest one here.
It's my birthday, but my mom isn't here.
I spent my birthday without my mom, too.
I spent my birthday in a hospital room last year.
I even got a shot.
I also go to the hospital on my birthday every year.
And I get an IV injection this big.
Don't lie to me.
I'm not lying.
I go to the hospital every year on my birthday.
I never had birthday parties like you
ever since that day.
Why? What's that day?
You don't have to know.
It was just a horrible day.
A day I don't want to think about even in my dreams.
So be honest with me. Don't you think the food I made is amazing?
-It's the best. -It's perfect.
Why? What's that day?
You don't have to know.
It was just a horrible day.
A day I don't want to think about even in my dreams.
Please help me. Help.
There's someone there.
Someone's still down there.
Help.
Help! Please help!
Bipolar forceps.
-Suction. -Yes.
Don't we have blood?
The blood pressure is dropping.
He might go into cardiac arrest.
CARDIAC ARREST: HEART FAILURE
Release the headrest and put him down.
Move over. Defibrillator.
Yes.
-Charge 150J. -Charge 150J.
Clear. Shoot.
-Charge 200J. -Charge 200J.
Clear. Shoot.
Increase it to a maximum.
It's been 10 minutes and 16 seconds.
There's no chance.
Check the time again.
-Are you sure it's ten minutes? -Yes.
Let's pronounce him dead.
Yes.
What?
Oh, no.
How did it go with Chairman Jo?
What do we do? What if Mother finds out?
That's not the problem.
Aren't you worried about Jun?
My gosh.
Damn it.
CENTRAL OPERATING ROOM
How is Chairman Jo doing?
I'm sorry.
He had a sudden cardiac arrest during surgery.
You said you could save him.
You said you were sure that you could save his life.
Doctors are not gods.
In case of inevitable--
Enough with your excuses, punk.
Inevitable, my ass.
I don't believe you, you fucking quack.
Bring him back.
Bring my father back, you bastard!
Let go of me. Let go, I said!
How dare you make a scene here?
How dare you touch him?
When everyone said Chairman Jo was beyond help,
Dr. Lee Jun saved his life and took good care of him.
You ungrateful bastard.
Even Chairman Jo has never been so disrespectful.
What is the old fart talking about?
Who are you?
How dare you try to defend this jerk?
This jerk?
He's my son.
You discourteous rascal.
Hey, you were just busy doing drugs in the States
even when your father was dying.
Hey! You stupid old shit! Are you crazy?
Now that Chairman Jo is dying,
you just came back for his money.
-Get off me! -Hey!
-Let go of me! -Stop already!
-You crazy bastard. -Stop it!
I just saw Jun in trouble, so...
I was out of my mind.
I'll keep apologizing to Chairman Jo's wife
until she feels better.
Why are you standing there like that?
It's all your husband's fault and not yours, is that it?
I guess that's what her face says.
You know why I married my son to you.
When your father's fan component factory
went bankrupt because of debt,
I let you marry my oldest son
paying his creditors in full.
That's what I mean.
You were a scholarship student at Johns Hopkins University.
I spent a fortune as I admired your brain.
I thought you were smart enough
to assist my slow-witted son
so he wouldn't be kicked around by people.
So people wouldn't find out how stupid he is.
She takes good care of me, Mom.
Today, I just lost my temper as I saw Jun
getting beaten up.
I take after Dad.
You know I'm hot-tempered like him.
She didn't do anything wrong.
Everything
is my fault, Mother.
I know I've done wrong.
I'll be more careful
and try my best so that it never happens again
in the future.
Trying your best means nothing at this point.
Seung-hun humiliated the woman
in front of all those people, even bringing up
her son's drug issues.
Chairman Jo's wife wouldn't let it slide.
You know the nasty temper she's got.
She used all her connections and even contacted the prosecution
to take over the management rights from the legal wife's sons.
She's like the witch of witches.
Goodness.
Well...
Still, the two families have been
quite close for some time now.
She wouldn't be that harsh on me, would she?
My gosh.
Sure she would, Seung-hun.
She could do even more than that.
All I can say now, Seung-hun,
is you've just awoken a sleeping lion.
That's not all.
You totally provoked and humiliated her in front of everyone.
Are you having fun?
What did you say?
I can obviously tell
that you're enjoying this.
Hey!
I came running here in the middle of my laser treatment!
How dare you talk to me that way?
You're the one who's disrespecting your sister-in-law!
How dare you...
My goodness gracious.
My gosh.
My goodness, I can't believe you're my children.
How do you expect me to trust you at all?
Anyway,
Seongju Daily will surely do something to get back at us.
Make sure we're prepared for everything.
But keep in mind that there's nothing we can do to avoid it.
My gosh.
My goodness.
How great would it be if Jae-hun were still alive?
You know what? Let me apologize.
I should've died in his place.
Honey.
Watch what you say in front of your mother.
Seo-hun, you also need to watch what comes out of your mouth.
I heard Chairman Jo passed away.
So what?
Did you come here to see how much of a mess I am?
Should I pose for you?
Would you like to take a photo?
What else did you ask your minion to do other than to keep you
updated about my mistakes?
Does he even report to you every time I go to the bathroom?
Why are they blaming the doctor for Chairman Jo's death?
Do they think doctors are idiots?
Let's keep this between us.
But Chairman Jo would've passed away a long time ago
if it weren't for the doctors at this hospital.
Oh, I see.
Did you change your strategy?
I'd love to show you a few tears and act like I'm touched.
But I'm too exhausted for that.
I read about Chairman Jo's death on the internet.
And I heard his reckless son punched the doctor-in-charge
because everyone kept talking about it.
I'm just here for something personal.
-I came to meet-- -Dr. Lee Kang.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
Thank you for seeing me. I know you're busy.
No, it's okay.
-Have you been well? -Yes, I'm doing well.
I'm here to ask you something.
Okay.
Okay, just a second.
There we go.
Give me your hand.
Guess what this is.
It's a flower ring.
Doesn't it smell nice?
Isn't he
such a romantic husband?
I'd love to have a husband like him for at least one day.
Or at least for half a day if an entire day is too long.
Me too.
You already had your share of romance.
That darn old man was really nice to you
because you gave birth to a son.
I get a headache
every time I think about that.
What?
You always give me candy every time you're out of words.
Peppermint candy tastes the best.
That's enough.
Too much candy will make my teeth rot.
Hey.
Don't you also want an amazing husband like him?
I once had an amazing husband as well.
But I ended up leaving him because I was out of my mind.
Exactly. You should've known that he was a catch.
You were such a fool.
You should never let go of that amazing guy like I did.
Okay.
What?
I should go check on the gomtang.
What? What do you mean?
What did she mean by that?
"That amazing guy"?
It sounded like
she was referring to someone.
Yes, it did.
Right?
Did it also sound a little peculiar to you?
Yes.
Then who do you think is the amazing guy
she was talking about?
Ms. Han, can you give me some kimchi?
Why do you want kimchi?
I saw Director Kwon eat cup noodles,
and now I want one for myself.
But I can't have noodles without kimchi.
Where is Director Kwon?
My goodness!
What are you doing here?
Who said you could come in my office?
Well, the thing is...
I heard you ate cup noodles a while ago.
The beef bone broth we recently got tastes really delicious.
So I thought you should try some while it's still warm.
I don't want it. You can take it back.
You always seem to be eating instant noodles.
You should eat some proper food.
I like instant noodles
way better than the food you make.
So just take it back.
I already added glass noodles.
You're the only one who can eat it now.
And I know you hate throwing away food.
Will you please eat it just this once?
I told you I don't want it!
Either give it to an animal or throw it away in the trash!
Just do whatever you want.
This is so delicious.
Slow down. You'll get an upset stomach.
Will you slow down? I won't steal any!
My gosh, that was nice.
Why do you eat so quickly?
Is someone chasing you?
Yes, there were always people chasing us.
So I had to eat quickly.
That kind of become a habit of mine.
What are you talking about?
My mom always ran away after she borrowed money.
She abandoned my sister and kept me.
I'm serious.
And I don't know how creditors do it,
but they'd always chase us down.
We always had to be ready to run.
Don't be like that.
From now on, you should get used to eating your food more slowly.
Make a new habit.
Otherwise, you'll become really sick one day.
Okay.
My goodness.
Do you have more gomtang?
I haven't had this in a while.
My gosh, it's so delicious.
I haven't had gomtang
ever since that incident in Greece.
What do those things have to do with each other?
It's a long story.
You know Dr. Lee Kang, the new doctor?
My gosh, that punk...
"Lee Kang."
Why does that name sound familiar? It's not even that common.
"Lee Kang."
"Lee Kang"?
Why does it sound so familiar?
What is this? Am I confusing him with Lee Kang-in?
I'll get you more gomtang.
This time, make sure you chew on your food.
-I want you to eat for 30 minutes. -Eureka!
I finally remember that name.
The name of Cha-young's first love. It's Lee Kang!
-Thank you. -No problem.
-The number of people who suffered damage -Potatoes...
adds up to about 200 people.
And the cost of damage is estimated to be over six billion won.
Here's our next news.
A four-story shopping mall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul
collapsed today at around 12:20 p.m.
Due to the collapse,
two laborers from the first floor got buried underneath
including a woman in her sixties and a seven-year-old kid
who were apparently on the fourth floor,
and they are currently in the process of being rescued.
The fire department announced
that they are currently
searching for additional casualties from the second and third floor.
You know Ms. Moon Cha-young, right?
She's a chef.
And I noticed that she's been receiving treatment
from a psychiatrist at our hospital ever since 2006.
What happened to Ms. Moon?
Mom.
Are you okay?
Are you carsick?
Should I stop the car?
My goodness.
What happened to Ms. Moon?
Ms. Moon...
She was buried underneath the collapsed department store that day.
She was only 12 years old.
My mom was also at the department store that day.
She was only 12 years old.
She must've been so scared.
-Thank you. -No problem.
You almost forgot her bag.
-Oh, right. -Here.
-Thank you. -No problem.
My goodness.
Did you happen to see Cha-young on your way here?
No.
She was on her way back from getting groceries,
but she got carsick and got off.
She just sent the cab driver here on his own.
My goodness.
She left her wallet and cell phone in her bag.
My goodness.
Dr. Lee!
You didn't answer any of our calls again.
Grandma Suk-ja suddenly collapsed.
Her systolic blood pressure is 70.
Hello.
She has temporary low blood pressure.
Her pulse rate is slowing down.
She'll go into shock if she's dehydrated.
So give her 500ml of normal saline.
-Keep her legs above heart level. -Okay.
My goodness, ma'am!
-Ma'am! -Ma'am!
Ma'am!
Grandma Suk-ja, you shouldn't be here.
You need to go back and get your injection--
What's wrong with her?
I'm the one who's terminally ill.
What's the matter with her?
Ms. Jang, she went into temporary shock because she was startled by you.
-We need to take care of you right now. -I'm okay.
See? As you can see,
I'm perfectly conscious
even without an injection.
Ms. Jang.
Why would you get shocked because of me?
It's not like you're my daughter
or my little sister.
You and I aren't even related by blood.
Why would you get shocked because of me?
Please wake up. Come to your senses.
Ma'am, you need to go back to your room.
-Let me take you. -Come on.
Will you please wake up?
Please stop. You need to calm down.
Hello, is this the cafeteria?
I'm sorry, but I called to ask if Ms. Moon came back.
Hey, it's you. Hello.
I thought it might be you.
What are you doing here?
Oh, well...
I got car sick while I was in a cab, so I got out.
And now, I'm on my way back to the hospital.
Are these for Ms. Kim Hui-ju?
Well, not exactly.
I just had a crappy day.
And on my way home, I happened to see a bungeo-ppang cart.
So I bought some.
But then I realized
that I don't like bungeo-ppang.
Then I suddenly remembered that Hui-ju used to like them.
And before I knew it, I was already headed this way like a lunatic.
I'll make sure
to give these to Ms. Kim Hui-ju.
I'll plate them on the pretty plate you made for her.
What happened
to Dr. Lee Kang's wrist?
I heard he came out in the middle of a surgery
because something was wrong with his wrist.
And apparently, that's why he ended up here.
By any chance,
does Kang like you?
Hello, this is Geosung Hospice.
Hello, I'm Lee Kang.
Did Ms. Moon happen to come back...
Never mind. I called by mistake. I'm sorry.
There.
Min-seong always helped me prepare your memorial service.
But he's not here anymore.
So
let's just drink by ourselves.
I brought you shrimp crackers, your favorite snack.
I came outside
so we could get some fresh air. That's okay, right?
Here you are.
Ms. Han told me
that you looked for me.
I wanted to ask if you'd like to drink with me after work.
That's my mom's seat.
You can sit here.
Isn't that water?
You should drink water since you're not feeling so well.
Happy birthday.
I hope you're never sick again.
Especially on your birthdays.
Subtitle translation by Ja-won Lee
I'm sure he's better than you. You're not even doing anything.
Why did you become a doctor
