Seo-jin! No!
Pay extra attention to ER patients.
Seo-jin! Seo-jin!
Ma'am.
Oh god... Seo-jin!
Oh no... Doctor, please save my son. Seo-jin!
What should I do? What should I do?
Seo-jin...
What should I do?
Doctor, please. Please save his life.
Give me my son back! Give him back to me!
He was breathing until just a few hours ago.
Give me back my son...
Seo-jin...
You are a murderer!
Seo-jin...
Didn't I tell you I'd change suppliers if you send us...
...this kind of products?
- No, unacceptable. - This is nuts.
This too.
I'll return all these.
Mi-soon.
Who are you?
It's me.
Se-ri!
Ma'am, calm down.
The child is alright.
Mrs. Yu!
In-woo!
Mom!
Are you okay? Are you?
I got the idea but you were really here.
How many times is this now?
This is like a kidnapping!
It's not that.
He was almost hit by a car, so I...
So you thought he was dead? Like your son?
I too am a mother so I can understand you but...
...this isn't the first time.
I hope I won't see you around the school again.
Let's go.
Seo...
Seo-jin!
Are you okay?
Are you okay? Ma'am?
- Ma'am? - Are you okay?
Ji-geon.
I killed him.
I should've taken an enhanced CT scan before operating.
No.
If you had examined him more,
...he would've died in the ER.
No.
I was too proud.
Too proud of my ability and killed him.
It was a misdiagnosis.
My misdiagnosis.
I made a wrong diagnosis.
So, if you say it was a misdiagnosis and quit the job,
...will the patient rise from the dead?
Father.
Doctors have to see some patients die.
When you can't even bear this,
...if you think you can cure people, you are arogant!
What happened to you?
You went off the grid after leaving like that.
Do you know how much I was worried about you?
You didn't even eat proper meals?
Seems you don't know it yet.
Know what?
Nothing. Eat.
How do you make a living? Where do you live?
Slowly. There's no rush.
What if you disappear again?
I live in the examiners' accommodation near the market.
I eat ramen for two meals a day.
The accommodation provides rice.
So why did you leave without a word?
If you had worked with me...
I gave birth to a child.
What?
You got married?
No. I am a single mom.
He is a married man.
You must be crazy!
Get up. Take the lead.
To where?
To the bastard.
He ruined your life. We can't leave him alone!
Get up. Quickly.
Not now.
Why? Just get up.
Hurry, let's go.
Listen to me first.
We are serious to each other.
It wasn't his fault.
We made a baby out of love.
Then tell him to take responsibility.
I will.
I'll ask him to leave his family and live with us.
You fool! Why did you do that?
There are plenty of nice guys available.
I know.
We are both orphans but...
...while you married a big restaurant owner's son...
...and are treated well,
...I am like this.
But don't worry.
I will live happily like you.
How, when your life is messed up?
Let's go to your place first. Lead the way.
Later.
Your pushing me like this doesn't help.
I'll call you after I talk with him.
Make it sure.
If he ignores you and changes his words,
...call me right away.
Okay. I will call you.
Bye.
Yes, Mr. Yoon.
I'm coming now. Sorry I am late.
You didn't tell it to Man-ho, did you?
Tada.
You're going to be late again?
Who do you think I am?
Then, exceeded expenditures?
I just want to serve you coffee with a pure heart,
...Ms. Assistant Editor.
Are you protesting against continuous working overtime?
Can you please keep your mind clear until the deadline?
Come on. It's already widely talked about.
What is?
When the editor is assigned to a branch in Europe,
...the assistant editor will take her seat and...
...you will be the youngest assistant editor ever.
How amazing!
If it's true, you guys will be fired.
The deadline draws near but you are so slack.
Is that the first thing you want to do when promoted?
Ms. Assistant Editor, they are just saying it.
Guess what this is.
"Promote Hae-won Bong to Assistant Editor"
A letter of recommendation is enclosed.
Seems it's already been decided.
Don't forget you owe me.
Okay.
Though it's the secret everyone knows, keep mum.
So, this is Man-ho's car?
Yes, it's his car.
I asked Mr. Yoon not to tell you.
Now that you got your wish, work hard.
Thank you, honey.
You don't have money.
Did you spend your installment saving on this?
Father allowed it.
I allowed it? When?
You clearly told me the other night...
...that I could do with my money as I please.
So why did you want to buy him a car?
He doesn't even deserve a tricycle.
Return the car right away.
Okay.
Why?
I worked hard every day and saved the money for 15 years.
I didn't even get myself any clothes to save the money.
You brought it up well.
So why did you use the money you scraped up for...
Stay out of this.
You decide.
Man-ho, do you really need this car?
Well...
I...
Don't mind others. Say what you think.
You wanted to have one.
Yes, very much.
You know how much I desired to...
No. Forget it.
I don't need a new car.
Look into my eyes and answer.
Do you really want me to return it?
No!
Don't.
I really want to have this car.
Don't get into an accident.
Father, I didn't buy it just for him.
I'd like to take my kids to nice places in a nice car now...
...instead of the van with the business logo.
And I want to go around boasting about my husband.
So please let it pass this time.
I'll come with you. I...
What? You want to have this car?
Don't kill me, Father.
Father. Father!
That's why you looked familiar.
So you were Seo-jin's mother?
Ma'am...
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry.
Wait.
Doctor?
Doctor.
Thank you.
It was a simple dehydration but you should eat well.
I will.
Somehow, I owe you again and again.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
I only helped a fellow townswoman.
Still, I am thankful.
Had it not been for you,
...I'd be in trouble without my family or my wallet.
You even gave me taxi fare.
Give me your bank account number.
I don't memorize that. You may go.
Text me your account number.
Or I'd feel burdened.
Thank you for today.
What are you doing now?
Give it to me. We've kept it too long.
No. Leave Seo-jin's things alone.
Ownerless things are just junk.
You still don't get it?
No matter how you think someone else as Seo-jin,
...no matter how you fill this room with his stuff,
...he won't come back to us.
He died five years ago.
That I know!
I'm not insane.
I know he died and won't come back again.
I saw you at the hospital.
I understand your anger.
But...
Well, I made a mistake again.
But the boy was almost hit by a car. That was why.
I won't be mistaken again. I promise.
So please don't do this.
I cannot live without this room.
Wrong. This room should be emptied...
...for you and me.
No. No!
No!
You are crazy. Seo-jin made this.
Seo-jin... He likes this so much. Oh no...
Seo-jin...
Wake up!
No matter how many times I break it, he doesn't know.
Why?
Because he is dead!
Why, you didn't know?
Should I repeat?
Enough.
Please let him go now!
If you still live in illusion the same now as 5 years ago,
...who do you think is the saddest?
It is Seo-jin.
Stop making it hard for him. Let him rest in peace now.
You are his mom.
Empty the room with nothing left.
Ms. Jang is at the shop.
I came to pick up her clothes for a live broadcast tonight.
Something happened?
Work hard.
Mother.
We're going to hold a rite for the new car.
Can we just sprinkle some soju around it?
Mother.
Who is your mother here?
Are you mad since I didn't discuss with you?
Sorry.
But you'd have opposed it if I had.
I wanted to buy Man-ho a nice car.
Oh, did you?
Wearing shabby clothes like these for 10 years,
...you saved money to buy a car for your bright hubby?
How commendable you are!
Such a fool. Such a dumbo.
Mother.
Why even you?
If I hadn't married Man-ho, I wouldn't have you in my life.
So I always say to him,
"Thank you for giving me such a great mother-in-law."
Get off me.
Mother.
I realized again...
...how lucky I am as I met and spoke with Se-ri today.
What? You met whom?
You don't remember her?
She worked with us in the past.
How did you... I mean...
What did she say to you? Where is she? Where?
Mother.
Just answer.
I ran into her at the market.
She isn't a bad girl.
There was a reason she had to quit the job.
Reason? What reason?
I cannot tell you but...
She really isn't a bad girl.
You liked her since she was affable.
Aren't you bringing soju?
I totally forgot it. One sec.
Why do you need soju?
To hold a rite to spirits for your safe driving?
Do you really want to have the car?
What's wrong with you?
It's going to be your funeral today before a rite.
What are you going to do now?
What are you going to do?
It hurts! Just talk.
You're becoming more like Father, you know?
You such...!
Wow, whose house is this great?
Our house.
I will build this house when I make money later.
Really?
Yes. After I build the house,
...you, Dad and I will live there together.
Aren't you happy?
The mere thought of it makes me moved to tears.
Seo-jin...
Was it hard for you since I didn't let you go?
Did I really make you sad?
I didn't, right? Dad was wrong.
Or was he right?
Must I let you go...
...for your happiness?
Why don't you answer?
So Dad was right.
I made it hard for you to be happy.
Seo-jin, I didn't know that.
I didn't know that.
Don't we need an enhanced CT scan?
If something unexpected...
If we don't operate on him right now, he will die.
Do you want to let him die on an exam table...
...to detect a bare possibility less than 1%?
I'll take responsibility. Let's begin.
Scalpel.
Doctor, the brain is swelling.
The patient is bleeding inside the skull.
The pulse is getting slow.
Cardiac arrest!
100 joules! Shoot!
Wench. She dared to come to see Mi-soon?
What's that? Someone came?
No. I had a dream.
Dream?
Why made a fuss about an unprofitable dream?
You woke me up while I was counting money!
Honey. Give me some money.
I know you are not sleeping.
I really need money.
As a reward for my suffering so far,
...give me bonus of $30,000.
Then, $20,000.
$10,000
Geez.
I'd better ask a monk for steak.
I'm sorry. My legs felt weak.
Honey, now that you woke up, give me money.
Mom! What are you doing here?
I think you are the only one I can ask for help.
What help?
Give me some money.
Do you know what time it is?
What's the matter? How much do you want?
The more, the better.
Geez. How did you know I withdrew cash today?
$200 will do, right?
No, two more digits.
Two more digits...
You mean $20,000?
I don't have that much money.
Cancel your installment saving.
Are you turning into Father?
He took all my savings last year for having raised me so far.
You brought it up well.
It was me who fed you and did your laundry.
Why did you give the money only to him? Give me too.
Did you cause some trouble?
No. Will you give me money or not?
This is all I have.
If you think it's unfair, ask Father to split it up.
You are bad.
Geez, why is she mean to me when I gave her money?
What's that? Who is it?
Sam-sook, ever since I married your brother,
...I've cooked for you and washed your laundry.
Aren't you sorry and thankful to me?
Yes...
I am.
Then give me some money.
What?
Good morning.
Your face tells me the deadline is near.
The half of it. I barely got to sleep last night but Mom...
Why are you preparing breakfast? Where's Mom?
Well, maybe she's tired. She didn't show up yet.
Gosh, I'm going nuts because of Sook-nyo.
Geez.
Oh my goodness.
Look at my bloated face.
Gosh, sleep is essential for great skin,
...but Sook-nyo tortured me all night.
Sook-nyo, Sook-nyo!
Aunt, did she go to your room too last night?
She took your money too?
What are you talking about?
Huh?
Nothing.
Looks delicious.
Father, is Mom in?
Isn't she in the kitchen?
She didn't come to the kitchen.
She asked for money all night. Where the heck did she go?
- She left home. - She left home.
Excuse me.
Do you know where an examiners' accommodation is?
Examiners' accommodation? It's over there.
Thank you.
May I help you?
I'm looking for a person.
Her name is Se-ri Ju, in her 20's.
Se-ri Ju? Just a sec.
Se-ri Ju... Se-ri Ju...
Oh, the tenant in Suite 307?
There she comes.
Hey, hey!
Hey, stop there! Hey!
Hey!
I didn't come to give you a hard time! Hey!
Hey!
Please stop!
Stop there!
Oh, ma'am, you should've been careful!
Hey...
Oh no.
How will you pay for this?
Yes, Dr. Kim.
Why didn't you come to work yesterday? And today as well?
I fulfilled my contract by operating on Mr. Lee.
That I know. But you know,
...he doesn't trust any doctors but you.
He refuses treatment.
Leave him alone. He'll change his mind if it's urgent.
He is your patient you saved.
Anyway, I can't come now. I'm in Choon-choen.
I'll call you when I'm back in Seoul. Bye.
Oh boy.
I think it won't be easy.
He is very stubborn.
Now that the surgery was successful,
...does it have to be Dr. Seo for Mr. Lee?
That's why it has to be Dr. Seo.
Mr. Lee doesn't trust anything unproven.
Where is he now?
Is your throat very sore?
I took the medicine you gave me. It is still sore.
Eh? I doubt it.
No. I took all the medicine.
Open your mouth again.
I can tell the doctor is incompetent.
That doctor is too old to treat patients.
Come to me. I am a hotsy doctor in Seoul.
Yes, Hae-won.
No, I have to sort out something.
Why did you call this early?
Well, I just called.
It's a fine day so I miss you.
How's the family? Mi-soon doesn't know it yet, does she?
Calm before a storm.
What about you? Everything's okay?
Of course.
Sorry I can't come over.
You are a married woman. I'll call you if anything happens.
Put Mom on if you are home.
I already came to work.
I have to work. I'll talk to you later.
Okay. Work hard.
Mom didn't call Hae-ryung.
See? I told you.
Why would she go there when Hae-ryung lives with in-laws?
She didn't go there.
Why did you deactivate Mom's phone I bought her?
It's me who pays for it.
Is your money just paper?
Do you think she has guts to leave home?
She is scared of getting lost whenever she gets away home.
Maybe she hated the sight of him and went to market.
Don't mind her. Just go make money.
Dismiss!
Nothing's left.
I checked her dresser.
The jewelry we bought her on her birthdays is gone.
Oh no. This is serious.
She values it so she never puts it on except on special days.
What do we do?
Still you think she went to market?
With all her ornaments on?
Or maybe she went to see the blossoms.
Just go to work.
Father, Man-ho. You find her.
If something bad happens to her, I won't let it pass.
How dare.
Yes, Mom.
I'll call you later.
You don't want a second child.
You want Seo-jin back.
You still live with him.
If you still live in illusion the same now as 5 years ago,
...who do you think is the saddest?
It is Seo-jin.
Stop making it hard for him. Let him rest in peace now.
Empty the room with nothing left.
You are his mom.
Honey, I'm not sure if I can let go of our son.
However I will try so we can go back to good old days.
We are almost there.
This is obstruction of business.
You don't admit it.
Didn't you see?
They lined up before me.
What? Incompetent?
That's a canard, slander, and...
How much do you want for settlement money?
All the money you have.
I ran out of equipment.
Alright.
What happened to you?
Nothing. All you want is to steal your son's money.
I'm not curious.
Let's see how much it is.
Is this all you have?
I gave you all the money I had.
Okay. Work it off then.
If I work hard, will you buy me a drink?
It's up to you.
If you don't do your job well, not even ramen.
Got it!
Doctor, food and clothes arrived.
There are a lot.
What are you doing here?
I came to the right place.
As you see, I am doing good.
You seem to be sentimental,
...so I'm trying to curry your favor.
There are many doctors in Korea.
But there's only one doctor Mr. Chairman wants, Dr. Seo.
Do you do anything if he wants it?
Unless it is illegal.
I don't want to stop the rich from spending money.
However, I won't go back to Seoul with you.
I expected you'd play hard to get.
You'll see. I will take you to Seoul with me.
How do you do, sir?
I am Hyun-ki Yu.
You work for HS Group?
Aren't you Dr. Do-hyung Seo?
I heard that you left behind all the fame and glory...
...and came here to take care of the weak of society.
I admire you.
Since when?
I read articles about him on my way here,
...so it's been 3 hours exactly.
I like you're straightforward.
Miss.
This.
Some lady waited for you for a long time.
Weren't you surprised at my abrupt visit?
I didn't come here to tell you off.
When I think about you suffering hardships...
...because of my poor son,
...my heart aches as a mother of daughters.
I am just so very very sorry.
The enclosed money and jewelry is small but it is all I have.
Please take it and go somewhere afar out of sight.
I beg you.
I know I am shameless to ask you this.
However, I cannot let you hurt my daughter-in-law...
...and make her cry.
Blame me for having brought up my child badly.
Steel yourself and go far away.
I will raise your baby with utmost care until I die.
Instead, let's not see each other again.
I hope you will stay healthy wherever you are.
So what's the point?
"If you hurt Mi-soon, you'll pay for it.
Take this and don't come around?"
Does she think Mi-soon is tenderhearted...
...but I am stonehearted?
How could she hurt me so deeply in my heart?
Look at the loutish rings.
What a laugh. I should laugh.
She really makes me laugh.
You removed a white collar.
You told me to try a variety to be well with young folks,
...so I combined a modern style...
What do you see now?
Underskirt.
What is underskirt to hanbok?
It is the basic.
If I seek change...
...and remove an underskirt, would you wear this hanbok?
Change comes from...
...keeping to the basics.
Just like any gorgeous hanbok...
...is a failure without an underskirt,
...hanbok without a white collar isn't hanbok.
Okay.
How are you?
Thank you for taking the trouble to come a long way.
Not at all. Why did you call me urgently?
I heard about the good news from Mr. Kim's family.
They said you gave them a lot of help.
Producing offspring isn't possible with only my ability.
Please help my family.
I'm sorry to say this but that is beyond my domain.
I couldn't see any child in your daughter-in-law's lot.
But she had a son.
Women destined to no children...
...sometimes can have a child by the grace of Heaven.
But your daughter-in-law ran out of such luck.
Could you own the words...
...you just said?
Have I ever made a mistake?
You even know where his underwear is in our bedroom.
Should I call you competent?
I'm doing this at his request.
Aren't you my mother-n-law's secretary?
I always do this when you are not around.
I'm sorry if you are offended.
Please let me know first from next time.
What you said you always do...
...is my job as his wife.
You may leave.
Father, we need to report her missing to the police.
There are customers waiting.
Are you going to serve these cold?
No. Sorry.
Stir-fried Chili Peppers & Pork, Stir-fried Seafood ready!
Okay, coming!
The last order came in.
One black, one seafood, one spicy seafood, one Sichuan-
...style, one jumbo-sized black bean sauce noodles.
Can't they order the same dish?
Mi-soon, make sauce.
Okay.
Sam-bong, Sam-bong. It's the order of one person.
What?
Unbelievable. Did he chew them?
Or did he drink them?
I don't know.
- He starts another bowl! - My goodness.
- That's the fifth one. - Wow.
It is $39.
Seems you love black bean sauce noodles.
Thank you.
Thank you. Please come again.
You don't need to make a deep bow to the boy.
Boy?
I've never seen a customer...
...who ate my food with such hearty appetite.
Hi, Happy Home...
Yes, Sam-shik.
Sook-nyo is at your home? Okay.
Sam-...
Sam-bong, wait!
I'm coming with you! Sam-bong!
Are you in your right mind?
Where on earth have you been...
...with the money you extorted from the family?
Let me say my piece first.
Min-jeong, Sam-shik. Do me a favor.
Please enter this boy in your family register.
Mom!
If only you do that, I will raise him.
Just keep it a secret from Mi-soon.
That's nonsense.
Say something.
It's nonsense.
She's got low blood pressure,
...so it's hard for her to get up in the morning.
She's also got a weak stomach, so she can't do the cleaning.
She's a poor cook too.
So it was really hard for me to raise our son in the past.
That's nothing to be proud of.
That's not true.
I'm against it too. Why should I give him my son?
Shut your mouth.
That's absolutely impossible.
Why should we raise him when he has parents?
His mother will not show up.
Did you meet Se-ri? What did she say?
Is she sick anywhere?
Just family register. Can't you do that?
No, I can't.
Sam-bong, why don't you say anything?
Mother.
Mi-soon...
Since when have you been here?
The door was open, so...
Where on earth were you?
Whose baby is it?
Honey, well... Mi-soon...
Actually...
Sam-shik, you!
Why...
Dissolute jerk.
How could you call a family meeting for your secret child?
Sam-bong...
Forgive me.
Son.
This is unfair.
Why should I look after a newborn baby at my age?
I can't do that. I won't.
I'm so sorry.
Are you comforting me now? YOU comfort ME?
I just want to share your sorrow.
We are family though I'm not Bong.
You don't have to feel ashamed before me.
This is nuts. I'm going nuts.
Don't say like that.
You should eat well and steel yourself.
Think of your son in England.
I'll take care of the baby for now.
Take good care of yourself first. Okay?
This is nuts. I'm going nuts.
Hi, Mother.
Hi.
You are late. I made your favorite fish for dinner.
Hyun-ki and I emptied Seo-jin's room.
We're going to try to have a second baby.
I couldn't see any child in your daughter-in-law's lot.
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
A promise is a promise.
The loser will do whatever the winner wants.
Seems we both are hard drinkers.
What is your capacity?
Well.
Three or four shots of whiskey?
That's a lie.
No.
I'm not having a drink now. I am working.
I'm disappointed. How could you keep it from me?
We didn't mean to.
But Sam-shik didn't want to let you know.
That's nothing to be proud of, isn't it?
Right. He is afraid of you.
Yeah.
Mi-soon, give me the baby.
It's okay. I will sleep with him in my bed.
He doesn't cry. He's so docile.
Right?
Yes, Mom. We'll sleep with him in our bed for tonight.
Why did he do that?
I feel sorry for Aunt Min-jeong.
I know. He is a disgrace to men.
Go in first, honey.
Why?
Just because.
Are you going to go to the car?
Yes.
I want to see if my love is okay. I'll be back quickly.
I got a new car
Is he that happy?
Your smile is so adorable!
The blood of the Bongs sure runs in your veins.
The night breeze is fresh.
Shall we take a little walk?
Yes? Oh.
Get out of my house now.
Se-ri.
How did you come in here?
Me?
I came to get my baby back.
Then you mean...
...the baby's dad...
...I mean, the married man is...
There comes my baby's dad.
I get on my car to pick you up!!!
Your husband, Man-ho is...
...my baby's dad.
I feel so mortified to death!
"I'm sorry," "Thank you." Are these all you can say?
You are smothering me.
Just get out of my kitchen!
You are not a woman or a wife.
Blood is thicker than water?
Keep back!
We met again no matter how we tried to avoid each other.
I was too young at that time.
My name is Ji-geon Seo.
