EPISODE 8
What are you doing in front of my car?
Well,
I was worried about you.
So you just stayed here
and waited for me until now?
Happy birthday.
I hope you're never sick again.
Especially on your birthdays.
I don't remember
when my heart started to flutter because of him.
Neither do I remember when the thought of him
and the memories we shared started to fill my days.
I can't exactly remember when my feelings for him
started to grow.
And the score is...
LOVE MATCH SCORE: 98
Lee Kang and Moon Cha-young are a match made in heaven.
Aye, I approve of this marriage.
Yes. Yes!
All right. Then now, let's find out how good a match Kang is
with his lovely future brother-in-law here.
How much money will he invest in my future businesses?
And when will he hand down that dream car of mine to me?
Here we go.
The score is...
RESULTS: 0
Lee Kang is the cop, whereas Moon Tae-hyun is the thief.
Get caught, you'll be screwed.
What the hell? Screw you, scam.
Come on, seriously?
What kind of dumb prick
coded this messed up application?
NEW MESSAGE FROM GAMNARA5289
What? Who is this?
The pair of shoes you posted about yesterday.
Did you actually buy it yourself?
Of course.
I bought it as a gift for my girlfriend to thank her
for not leaving me for another guy while I was in the military.
I brought it all the way from Pocheon, and I treasure it with all my heart.
Can you give me a discount?
Would you look at that?
Unbelievable. Trying to skin a flea for its hide and tallow, are you?
Like I wrote in my post yesterday,
my girlfriend dumped me on the day I bought these shoes.
They're brand new and haven't even touched the ground,
but I'm selling them to you for the price of a bottle of soju
and a serving of stir-fried octopus.
Then let's meet.
Can I pick the time and place?
Sure, whatever you want.
What a perfect day
to get me a shot of soju,
wash my feet, and go to bed.
Go find my hanbok and shoes.
Sun-sik bought them for me. Go find them at once!
Why did she want to meet here of all places? This is making me nervous.
Are you Oneshotatlife?
Gamnara5289?
-You brought it, right? -Well, this is...
-Ms. Ha, I caught the thief. -Why is this in my hands?
Open it.
Didn't you know they were stolen?
No, I didn't.
Yong-sun said she told you she stole them from Suk-ja.
No, she didn't. I swear.
You fully knew that they were stolen,
yet you still posted them on the online thrift store.
Come on, that's not even close.
If you don't believe me, let me talk to those two ladies.
You can cross-examine the three of us.
Their son apparently bought this hanbok and the pair of shoes
as a matching set as a gift for Suk-ja.
I want you to give them back to Suk-ja yourself, Tae-hyun.
Don't tell her about Yong-sun stealing them.
For God's sake.
I told you I didn't get them from Yong-sun.
This is a sting operation.
You found my username and surveilled an innocent civilian.
You know it's illegal, right?
If you do this again, I will sue you!
Give me the shoes!
I'll buy you stir-fried octopus.
The one that's done on an iron griddle! With fresh octopus, not the frozen ones.
The ones that get all stuck.
I just didn't want to burden you.
I wanted to set you free as quickly as I could.
I regret that I ever liked you.
If you're going to end your life this way, you don't even deserve to be born again.
I made steamed croaker for Hui-ju's lunch today.
She could only finish half of it,
but don't worry too much.
I'm not worried.
She has nothing to do with me now.
Please throw out the plate I gave you.
Thanks for everything.
Later on,
when you no longer regret falling for Hui-ju,
please stop by at our cafeteria.
If I'm still working here,
I'll make you a warm bowl of rice and a delicious doenjang stew.
Suk-ja won't eat because she's mad at me.
For dinner, I'll make doenjang stew with snails, which she loves.
Yes, that'd be great.
And make rice cakes with raspberries too.
-Rice cakes with raspberries? -Yes.
You see, Suk-ja
loves eating raspberry rice cakes more than anything in the world.
Okay. I'll make that too, then.
Great.
Then I'll go get some raspberries.
Now? You'll go pick raspberries now?
Yes.
Ms. Bong!
It's Cha-young.
I'll come to you.
You shouldn't come here alone. You'll get lost.
I'm not a fool.
I know. I'm the fool here.
Right.
I know that too.
-You knew? -Yes.
Don't tell anyone that I'm a fool.
You have to keep it to yourself.
But the doctor knows that you're a fool.
-Who? -The handsome doctor.
He said that you're a fool.
Don't worry though. I won't tell anyone.
Ms. Bong!
Hello? This is 911, right?
We have an emergency here.
I think she got bitten by a snake. Yes, I gave her first aid.
Our exact location is...
Hello?
Dinnertime is almost over. Where is she?
She's not even picking up.
This way.
You're okay, right? Hang in there.
We're almost there. This way.
This will sting a little.
Here we go.
The pain will be gone soon, so you don't need to worry.
But it looks like you got proper first aid.
So someone who was hiking found her?
Yes. It could've been very dangerous, Yong-sun.
She said she'd go get someone.
She told me to just wait there.
Who?
Cha-cha.
-Who? -It must be Cha-young.
Cha-young!
I think something happened to Cha-young.
She called 911 at around 5:30 p.m.
But the call got disconnected after a scream.
Cha-young!
Cha-young.
Cha-young!
They're all mushy.
You went to the mountains
to pick these for me?
I thought
I wouldn't get to eat raspberries this year.
Thanks to you, I get to enjoy this delicacy.
You can't have them just yet.
Cha-cha said she'll make rice cakes with them for you.
Rice cakes are great,
but these berries are so sweet. They're delicious.
Have some.
No, it's okay. They're all for you.
I'm sorry.
If Sun-sik asks you to live with him,
don't say anything and just go live with him.
Cha-young!
He doesn't dislike you.
Sun-sik is actually very fond of you.
Cha-young!
It's just that
he doesn't know it yet.
Cha-young!
He and I don't even share a drop of blood.
Cha-young!
But he's still so sweet to me.
So why would he hate his own mom who actually gave birth to him?
When we were young, I was mean to you,
and I was also jealous of you like any other first wives would be.
But you still stayed glued to me and followed me everywhere.
Because you have a heart of gold,
I was able to not get lost
and keep my focus thanks to you.
No.
I'm bad. You're the good one.
I'm mean. You're a much better person than I am.
Everyone thinks
that the wife and the mistress
would hate and be jealous of each other,
and also fight all the time.
But we were never like that.
It was all because you have a heart of gold.
And together,
we proved the prejudice wrong.
Cha-young!
In our next lives,
let's meet as something else.
We could meet again as sisters.
If we're born as a man and woman,
we could get married.
In our next lives, I'll do all the things
that I never got to do for you in this lifetime.
I'll be
a lot more affectionate toward you.
Let's...
meet again no matter what.
I gave you first aid for now,
but the bones and ligaments need to be looked at.
Let's do an X-ray.
We don't have X-ray facilities here,
-so let's find a hospital nearby with-- -It's okay.
Let's go to this one.
Get on my back.
Come on. Hurry.
It's really okay. It doesn't hurt at all now.
-It really doesn't hurt? -No, it doesn't hurt at all.
Then get up and try walking.
You said it doesn't hurt anymore. Get up and walk, then.
What were you thinking? Why are you so stubborn?
I'm a doctor. Won't you just listen when I say you're hurt?
Also, what do you mean you're okay?
Go look at yourself in the mirror. You're not okay at all.
Do you think I'm a joke because I got kicked out of Geosung
and now work at this hospice? Are you belittling me now?
If you're a chef, just make food.
Why must you follow the patients around and cause trouble like this?
Do you know how worried I was while I was searching the mountain?
I'll just stop caring altogether.
I won't care if you live or die, so just do as you please.
Any pain or discomfort?
She's been
vomiting a little. But other than that, she's okay.
Her BP is fine, and so are her motor responses.
Then let's give her some macperin starting this evening.
I heard you saved my wife.
-Thank you. -No problem.
Let me check your pupils.
Why don't we stop here?
She's not feeling the greatest.
I think she needs some sleep.
All right, sure.
Thank you.
Ms. Ha? It's me, Dr. Lee.
Could you send me Kim Hui-ju's medical chart?
No, I just need to check something.
Please enjoy.
Grandma Fartsy.
Ms. Bong.
Here, I made the raspberry rice cake.
Please give it to Ms. Jang.
Director Kwon and the nurses were all waiting to see Ms. Jang,
but I think they're busy now as a new patient just arrived.
It's warm.
This will
keep her warm even inside her grave, right?
I'm going to go
live with my son now.
That's great.
-Cha-cha. -Yes?
Thank you for coming with me
to pick raspberries.
Suk-ja said
she thought she wouldn't get to eat raspberries this year,
but thanks to me,
she really enjoyed them before she left.
Okay. I'm glad to hear that.
Are you done crying?
How long have you been here?
Before you came here.
Did you cry because of pain?
Did you fall down the mountain again?
No.
Thank you.
I think you said that like 37 times.
Aren't you going back to Greece?
What?
Didn't you once say you're going to go back to Greece?
Oh, right. I...
I'm going to go back.
When?
Soon.
I'll leave soon.
If you're going to leave anyway,
shouldn't you just go as soon as you can?
Working here isn't exactly the best job you could ask for.
Aren't you going back to Greece?
What?
Didn't you once say you're going to go back to Greece?
Oh, right. I...
I'm going to go back.
Yes?
This is Yun Seong-eun from Donghyun Hospital.
Ms. Kim Hui-ju's doctor.
I heard you called me.
Ms. Kim Hui-ju is also my colleague's wife.
I've known her personally.
Three years ago, she suddenly suffered
from symptoms like vomiting and mental deterioration,
so she was taken to our ER--
Why did she get surgery for acute hydro,
but not the secondary surgery for craniopharyngioma?
I did remove the tumor during the first operation.
But there were some parts in her cranial nerves and hypothalamus
that showed serious tumor adhesion,
so it was impossible to remove it 100 percent.
The recurrence of the remaining tumor
led to an acute hydrocephalus.
But considering the endocrine control and other circumstances,
we had to give up the secondary operation.
Can you tell me about the circumstances
that made you give up the second operation?
Why do I have to explain that to you?
Even her husband agreed with my choice.
I just don't understand
how her husband was entirely convinced to give up his wife's surgery.
Try and convince me too,
entirely.
Once the hydro is fixed,
you could've used a shunt to solve all the issues at once.
And the hypothalamic damage could've been treated with another operation.
What's that supposed to mean?
Are you saying I'm an incompetent doctor?
Is that how it sounds?
I'm sorry, but I have an operation to perform. I should get going.
I'm saying this is an accessory to murder.
Do you think
I'm just blaming you for being an incompetent doctor?
What do we do, honey?
I think he knows everything. What do we do?
It's okay. It will be all right.
Cancel the appointments for the afternoon and come right away.
Yes.
Get in.
Hang on.
How may I help you?
POLICE
Are you Professor Jung Se-un?
Yes, I am.
And the lady beside you. Is she Professor Yun Seong-eun?
I'm from Yongsan Police Station.
Ms. Kim Hui-ju's family
accused Professor Jung and Professor Yun of attempted murder.
Would you come with me to the station?
LEE JUN
Please hang in there.
We are administering the painkiller,
so the pain will be much better soon.
Open it up a little.
Please hang in there.
LEE JUN
Excuse me.
She's not crying.
She just finds kimchi stew too spicy.
Susan.
Michael's mom?
Have some of this.
Drink it.
When you eat something spicy, you should drink milk.
It will get rid of the spicy taste. Get out.
Okay?
Thank you.
Is she the one who came here with her son from New York?
I made kimchi stew with some pork.
But I guess that's not what she wanted.
If it's not pork,
is it anchovy or mackerel pike?
What do you mean?
His name is Michael.
He was adopted
from Korea to the States when he was seven.
Recently, he found out that he was terminally ill.
He wants to finish his life according to his free will,
so he refused life-prolonging medical treatment.
He wanted to have
the kimchi stew his birth mom made when he was little.
He wanted to have it one last time before he died,
-so his foster mom brought him to Korea. -Do you remember it?
But it's still really good.
-Can I try it? -Yeah.
Drink some water.
-You've got to eat it with some rice. -People are
just amazing.
How does he remember what he had when he was seven?
-Is it better? -Yes.
Try this.
The kimchi tastes really good.
I have something to tell you.
Aren't you eating it?
I...
I'm going back to Greece.
I was going to let you go anyway.
If you stay here longer, I think you will fall sick.
Yesterday, I got lost
on my way to work.
And today, I forgot to come here.
I went to King's Table instead.
I don't think I can work here anymore.
After making kimchi stew for Michael,
let's quit together, okay?
GEOSUNG UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Je suis.
Je suis, je suis.
Nous sommes, nous sommes.
Nous sommes.
Nous sommes...
FRENCH FOR BEGINNERS
I know we're married,
but you're supposed to knock at work.
Did you see the news? Did you see it?
What article?
I recently had an interview
with the new medical journal called Medical and Human.
Is it out already?
Why did you mess with Seongju Daily
when you can't even deal with them?
Who is this "Dr. L of G Hospital" here?
Is it me?
Who else do you think it is?
Why would they fuck with me, out of all people?
You said there are 308 doctors.
Does it even matter now?
Goddamn it, that mistress of Seongju Daily.
Where did that bitch even come from?
What do I do, honey?
Let go of me.
My gosh.
Before anything,
I will let him resign from his post.
Having him resign from his post
won't solve the problem.
If resigning is the case,
he should resign as a director as well.
-Hey. -It's not the first time
that Seung-hun shamed Geosung Medical Foundation.
I'm sorry.
I'll call him and give him a good talking.
He's a hopeless moron.
Do you think talking to him will change anything?
He didn't deserve to take the position in the first place.
Let's just take this opportunity to wipe the slate clean.
If we look closely,
we can find someone who's just as good as he is.
Uncle.
-How could you say-- -Look who's talking.
So you're good at management
and put the hospital in danger of bankruptcy 40 years ago?
Back then, I had to spend my own money
to save this hospital.
If you succeeded in taking this hospital with that money,
then you are supposed to run it the right way.
We can't let your family run this hospital anymore.
The directors all agreed.
It's not true that the directors all agreed.
My brother and sister-in-law didn't.
Isn't it you
who tipped off Seongju Daily with the news?
What are you talking about, you brat?
Daughters are strangers after marriage. How dare you weigh in our conversation?
I just signed my divorce paper yesterday, so I'm no stranger here.
And I can see
you're trying to kick Seung-hun out of this hospital
and take it back by placing your children in the post of director.
If I were you,
I wouldn't even come near the hospital feeling sorry.
-Seo-hun. -Why do you think my dad killed himself?
You guys conspired and slandered him to take this hospital from him.
You even put him under prosecutors' investigation.
The shock of being betrayed by his brothers--
What do you know? How dare you say such reckless things?
It's just foolish of him
to kill himself for such reasons.
Who are we going to blame?
We're going to protect Geosung.
My grandchildren, Jun and Kang,
who are way smarter than your kids, will protect it no matter what.
So don't worry and just leave.
I told you to leave!
I have to say, you were amazing out there.
I could've done better.
Your putting was really great too.
-No, it wasn't. -She's always very good.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive us just this once.
Isn't she the daughter-in-law of Geosung Hospital's chairwoman?
What's with her?
What do you want?
What?
Someone mentioned the director's real name on a comment?
You idiot! Why would you answer a reporter's call at this point?
Hold on, you should answer them.
Answer all their calls
and tell them every little thing that could promote the hospital
including our staffs' community service
and the donations we made to the facilities for the handicapped.
I also want you to find a trustworthy marketing firm
and have them get rid of the hospital and director's name
from the most-searched list.
I don't care how much it costs, just get it done!
Dr. Lee Jun
apparently assaulted Professor Jung as he was leaving after his investigation.
He did it in front of everyone including the cops.
Are you a gangster?
You look like a gentleman.
How could you beat someone who was just interrogated like that?
You're in a police station!
Aren't you a doctor?
Professor Jung
filed a lawsuit against you for assault.
Will you call an attorney?
I hope your surgery goes well.
And I hope you're better when we meet again.
We'll pray for you.
Thank you.
Let's go.
I thought you quit smoking.
Today, I started smoking again. Give that to me.
That imbecile.
How could he scheme with his mistress
and do that to his wife when they could've saved her?
They're not even human.
I even officiated their wedding.
I can't believe that fucking bastard used to be my student.
He'd better not run into me. I'll kill him the moment I see him.
Give it back, you punk. They aren't even yours!
If you want to kill that bastard, you need to keep yourself healthy.
Thank you, Kang.
I was so close
to unknowingly helping their crazy plan.
Thanks to you, I was able to avoid being part of a big sin.
Thank you for saving me.
LEE JUN
Cha-young!
Really?
My gosh, that's crazy.
This is a big secret.
So you can't tell anyone, okay?
If the bad guy, Manos, finds out that I'm here,
he might send all his underlings here to come and get me.
Okay, I won't tell anyone
that you're actually Iron Man who's here to maintain peace on Earth.
I'm not Iron Man. I'm Iron Ranger.
Iron Ranger!
Oh, sorry.
You're Iron Ranger Number Two.
No, I'm not Number Two. I'm Number Three.
I'm sorry. You're Iron Ranger Number Three.
When you look up into the night sky, you see something sparkling, right?
You mean a satellite?
No, not that.
It's actually a signal that's being sent from my planet.
The name of my planet is Iron 130.
What kind of signals do they send you?
They keep telling me to come back
because keeping peace on Earth seems to be a difficult job.
You should tell them
that you're going to stay for a bit more.
Tell them that you have
your mom, grandmother, and older brother here on Earth.
Tell them you'll return
after you spend a long time here with your family.
I want to do that.
But there are rules, so I can't.
I need to quickly go back.
But I'm still here, and that's why I keep getting sick.
I'm going to leave once my spaceship arrives.
But...
I have to make sure Earth is able to keep its peace before I go.
GEOSUNG HOSPICE
Min-yong, look over there.
Do you think that's the planet
where Ji-yong is from?
Over there. Iron 130.
Do you actually believe that?
It's all a load of crap.
You don't believe him then?
Of course not.
Ji-yong thinks he's a space warrior who's here to keep peace on Earth,
just because of a lie our dad told him.
Back when he was young, he caused so much trouble
and never listened to our parents.
That's why our dad made up that lie.
"You're a space warrior who's here to maintain peace on Earth.
But you won't even listen to your parents."
That's what he said to him.
That's when he began
to get to his senses and became a nice kid.
He actually believes that he's Iron Ranger Number Three.
I don't think your dad lied.
Ji-yong
might really be a space warrior from outer space.
Cha-young, you'd better not say stuff like this to anyone else.
Or they'll think you're crazy...
Anyway, let's just keep this story between the two of us.
Do you really think
a spaceship will come for Ji-yong?
My gosh, Cha-young!
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 should eat this.
Here. Have a bite.
It's not your fault.
Our family gets unlucky every ten years.
And this year just happens to be that tenth year.
So it's not my fault either.
We're talking about fate here.
We're nothing but humans, so we have no control over that.
Why aren't you eating this?
I even got myself a parking ticket buying this for you.
We're not going home. We're going to a hotel.
Your mom
wants you and me gone from her sight for a while.
It means we got kicked out.
Seriously, what were you thinking?
Why would you hit anyone?
You're an intellectual.
You're not a gangster.
Why couldn't you just talk to him?
You speak amazing French. Can't you do the same with Korean?
Who do you even take after?
Is this how I educated you?
But come to think of it,
I bet you hit him because he deserves it.
You're not the type who beats people up for no reason.
Why did you hit him?
I heard he's also a doctor.
What did he do to deserve a beating?
Did he steal your girlfriend?
Who is that? Is it your mom?
Jun, you should tell her that you're really sorry.
Try to be a cute son so it'll soothe her anger.
Hurry.
It's me, Hui-ju.
I'll be getting surgery in a while.
I'm sorry, Jun.
I'm really sorry.
I hope
we'll get to meet next time.
Why aren't you saying anything? Who is it?
My gosh, it's like I'm talking to a ghost.
My mom, wife, and son are all the same.
No one cares about me.
You heartless boy.
My goodness.
Min-yong.
Can you please save my brother, Dr. Lee?
You saved Ms. Kim.
Can you save Ji-yong as well?
I still have so many stuff I want to do for him.
Ji-yong.
Ji-yong, your mom says she wants to look into your eyes.
Why do you keep looking away?
What are you looking at?
I think he's showing symptoms of delirium.
Ji-yong.
Will you please look at me?
I have
something to say to you.
Don't you want
to look at me?
What's wrong with him?
Ji-yong,
can you hear me?
Will you try looking at me?
-Cha-young. -Min-yong.
Can you hear me?
Will you try looking at me?
It's okay.
Ji-yong.
What are they saying
from your planet?
Do they want you to come back?
What do you want?
Do you also want to go back?
But I don't think the spaceship has arrived yet.
-I couldn't... -You couldn't?
-finish... -Finish?
-my mission. -You couldn't finish your mission?
What mission?
That mission...
Oh, that mission
where you have to maintain peace on Earth?
Ji-yong.
You have no idea
how peaceful Earth has become thanks to you.
Thanks to you,
your grandmother was able to cure her back.
And your mother finally returned.
Your grandmother forgave her, and they reconciled with each other.
And you brought so much joy
to all the people who work here at the hospice.
You were the mascot here.
The mascot of happiness.
You were like our guardian angel.
You have no idea how grateful we are to you.
Is that true?
Did I really make everyone happy
just like what Nurse Ha just said?
Ji-yong!
THANK YOU, IRON RANGER NUMBER 3
Ji-yong.
Don't get lost.
And have a safe trip back home.
We'll do our best
to keep Earth safe without you.
Goodbye, Iron Ranger Number Three.
Subtitle translation by Young-ju Kim
We're going to get rid of that useless hospice
and replace it with the best silver town
for limited members, with a quality that this country has never seen before.
I want you to be in charge of that place.
I can't trust the others.
That's just our fate.
We need to fight until either of us win.
I got beaten up too, you know.
Here and here.
You don't even know Kang that well. You don't know how evil and wicked he is--
I do know him. I know
that he isn't someone you can criticize,
badmouth, and judge however you want.
I'm sorry
if I did anything to cause a misunderstanding.
