----
I've given this a lot of thought...
and I don't think we'll last very long at the rate we're going.
Are you saying that you want to break up?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
Then buy me some herbal tonic to make me strong.
Okay, I'll buy you some.
And...
let's get married.
What did you just say?
I said, let's get married.
Do what? You want to go eat?
- No, I want us to get married. - What? You want to get a drink?
Why? Does it make you feel uncomfortable?
Don't say things like that when you don't mean it.
You'll be the one left suffering if you meet a girl who jumps at those words.
There it is.
He needs treatment.
Dong Min, let's play a game.
Why is he crying?
Is it money problems, family problems, or women problems?
Go home and get some sleep.
We can talk about this some more tomorrow.
Let's go.
What's wrong with him? Why does he keep crying?
Wow, this is nice. This is so nice.
This is on me.
Thanks, friend!
Who is Hae Jin talking to?
A schizophrenic's family that we met recently at the assisted living place.
The patient had a relapse.
Her doctor advised her not to stop taking the medication
but she stopped taking it, and ended up relapsing.
So she's feeling really discouraged right now.
You can't ever let down your guard when it comes to Hae Jin either.
- Always remain cautious, okay? - Of course.
Hye Soo tells me that you two are dating?
- I asked her to marry me. - Seriously?
Yeah.
- But I turned him down. - You finally get lucky, and you kick it away?
Enjoy yourselves.
Hae Jin works?
Yes, of course.
It's actually very beneficial with her treatment.
But she shouldn't overdo it.
- Is her baby healthy? - Yes, very much so.
I've agreed to deliver Hae Jin's baby. I can't wait.
Let's get married.
How can you say that so nonchalantly?
- As if it's no big deal. - Then you want me to ask seriously?
Buy you a ring and get down on my knees to propose?
No, don't even think about doing that.
Let's get married.
You're being absolutely absurd right now.
Do you know how much debt my family is in?
- I can... - Don't even say that you'll pay it back.
I still have to go to graduate school
and I told you that I'm going on a worldwide trip next year, didn't I?
The truth is...
dating you and being in this relationship wasn't even a part of my original life plans.
So to be honest, just the fact that we're dating is enough to create havoc in my life.
Since you've already earned a lot of money
and you're now a successful author, I'm sure settling down is what you may want.
But this is just the beginning for me.
Thus... I'm really hoping that what you said tonight
wasn't said with any seriousness or sincerity.
Okay, then let's forget about marriage.
Wow, I'm suddenly starting to feel angry.
Because you're being way too cool about it.
You know...
I wonder how long we'll remain this happy together for?
If we were to end up breaking up, what do you think will be the cause of it?
Would it be because our families would be opposed to us being together?
What if your mom gives me an envelope full of cash and tells me to break up with you
because she doesn't like me like they do in those cheesy dramas?
My mom doesn't even have any money, but if she were to do that to you
then take the cash and come to me with it.
We can take the money and run.
What about you?
What if your mom or other family members were to oppose us being together?
I'll tell them that I understand, but continue to date you in secret.
And if I end up getting caught
then I'll tell them that I understand again, but still continue to date you in secret.
Trying to explain and convince them of things is way too bothersome.
Then that leaves us with only one reason why we'd ever break up.
- And what would that be? - Either your nasty temper, or my temper.
Ugh, that's disgusting.
I'm sorry.
But... are you serious about wanting to marry me?
Why?
You're not saying...
that I'm the first woman you've ever proposed to?
Then you're being serious about the proposal?
Yes, you are my first, and I'm definitely being very serious.
But if you have no interest in marrying me, then don't ask me anymore questions.
No, I want you to tell me because I'm very curious.
Tell me why Jang Jae Yeol wants to marry Ji Hye Soo.
Ji Hye Soo already said she doesn't really like kids
and she's not good with housework either.
She even said that she wants to keep studying and working
so why is it that Jang Jae Yeol keeps insisting that he wants to marry Ji Hye Soo?
Tell me.
- Let's go, I have to get back to my writing. - No, tell me.
I'm tired.
By the time I get home after dropping you off...
No, I can get myself home. You do look very tired.
- I can take the bus home. - No, take a cab.
Then give me money for cab fare.
What is this?
I got you a new wallet because I'm keeping your old one for myself.
Wow, I really love this wallet.
Look at you, very clever.
There's money in here!
I've heard that you never give someone an empty wallet.
I thought you'd be mad at me for giving you the money, so what got into you?
We're closer now, aren't we?
I'm going to buy myself some herbal tonic with this money.
Here, take this and tell me.
Tell me the reason why you want to marry me.
It'd be better for you not to listen to my reasoning.
It's going to make you feel uncomfortable, and you're going to regret hearing it.
No, it's okay. In one ear, and out the other.
Okay, I'll even close my eyes.
But don't give me too sappy of an answer.
I sleep in a bathroom, instead of in a bed...
and my mom sleeps in her cold living room with the windows wide open
every single night even in the dead of winter.
And also the fact that my brother has spent the past 14 years of his life in prison...
I have no desire to share those stories with any woman other than you.
Even after having heard and witnessed those aspects of my life
you neither feel any disgust or show any pity towards me.
Which made me wonder if there are any other women out in this world
who'll just listen and still like me just for who I am.
And my answer is, no, there's no one else like you out there.
Hye Soo.
If you know of any other woman like that out there...
then please let me know.
So that I wouldn't have to...
cling onto you so much.
I'm sure you wanted to hear some jokey answer from me
so I'm sorry to have disappointed you.
- I... - I know.
Jang Jae Yeol.
If I told you that I don't want to marry you, then would you not see me anymore?
No, I wouldn't do that.
- Then you'd still date me? - Yes.
- You wouldn't date any other women either? - Other women aren't any fun.
I have no interest in anyone else.
You won't even get annoyed when I don't end up doing what you want?
No, I won't.
Why not?
Because I love you.
Why do you love me so much?
I don't know.
You make me feel uncomfortable.
I'm sorry.
I'll only love you a little bit from now on so that you don't feel uncomfortable.
I miss you, and I wish I could hold you.
You'll just have to endure it.
Okay.
Don't work too late, and get some sleep.
What are you doing?
I noticed that the candle was burned out.
It's Sunday, you should sleep in.
I can't sleep.
Funny hearing that coming from a sleepyhead like you.
Jang Jae Yeol asked me to marry him.
So what did you tell him?
I told him that he was being absurd.
I still have to work on my career.
You did the right thing.
What's wrong with you? Why are you being so negative?
Okay, then you didn't do the right thing.
Hye Soo, why don't you want to get married?
If you want to know that badly, then ask Jang Jae Yeol.
If you don't want to get married, then just move in together.
Living together is pretty much the same thing.
Living together with one man every single day under the same roof
where you no longer have your own personal life
and everything's out in the open to be shared.
Even just the thought of it makes me feel like I'm suffocating.
A boyfriend, who used to live next door, and who I now only see once a week
because he moved to Seochodong. It's the perfect setup for me.
You're right about that.
There's something stagnant about marriage and living together, no?
What you have now is perfect. Keeping things fresh and exciting...
with that anticipation, and sexually charged energy, right?
Why are you talking about sexual energy this early in the morning?
- Are you worried about something? - What could I be worried about?
I told my parents to come by the cafe today so that they can meet So Nyeo.
What do you think of that?
You should just see them on your own.
Do you know what my parents are worried about the most in this world?
It's the fear that I'll never meet anyone and die an old and lonely bachelor.
I'm going to show them today that that'll never happen.
- No, don't do that. - What do you mean, don't do it?
You're not thinking that So Nyeo liking me is just a temporary thing, are you?
Not when you've got something going with both your wife and Young Jin?
What is wrong with this rice!
You've been making rice for three years, and you still can't make it right!
It's still crunchy and hard! I can't even tell if it's been cooked or not!
Dong Min, are you that angry just because the rice is still a little crunchy?
- Wait until you're my age. - Then you cook the rice from now on.
How many times have I told you to soak the rice before you cook it?
What do you use to listen to my advice? Your nose?
Dong Min, you told me that, and I never relayed your advice to Soo Kwang.
What's wrong? Did you get some bad news from the States?
No, it's nothing like that.
Why is he acting like that after already having finished his meal?
Maybe he's going through menopause.
I heard that men can go through menopause too.
In that case, it must be lifelong menopause.
No, I bet it's because of Tae Yong.
Why, what's wrong with Tae Yong?
I stopped by Dong Min's office yesterday
and I don't know what was wrong, but Tae Yong was there bawling his eyes out.
I wonder what's wrong.
- Tae Yong. - Yes?
When did Jae Yeol start mentioning Kang Woo?
Three years? Yes, it's been about three years now.
Oh, that's right.
The day that Jae Bum was released and stabbed Jae Yeol with the fork...
He said that's when he met Kang Woo.
It was total chaos in there because the crowd was full of Jae Yeol's fans.
And a few days after the incident
he asked me who the student was that he saw crying over him when he got hurt.
- But you didn't see anyone? - Of course, I didn't.
But I thought it was because it was so chaotic in there.
Then he mentioned him once or twice after that
and it's only been the past few months that he's been mentioning him a lot.
- These past few months? - Yes, these past few months.
- How much further? - We're almost there.
- Can we leave now? - It hasn't even been thirty minutes.
Let's stay a little bit longer.
Yes, my girlfriend will be here soon and I want you to meet her.
How can someone like you have a girlfriend?
Honey!
Instead of going to school as he's told, he insists on selling coffee at a coffee shop.
Dad.
Some people go to school and study while other prefers to be in business.
Not everyone in this world wants to become a corporate person like you.
You're just rotten in the head.
It only takes other people three to four months...
or a year at most to be cured, but you're still not cured!
If you feel an attack coming on, then you endure it like a man should!
I don't want these attacks either!
- Do you think that I like these attacks? - What did you say, you bastard?
Instead of being disgusted by me when I had convulsions when I was little...
'Ah... that must be how he sneezes.'
'That must be the way he coughs.'
If you had accepted it like that instead of making me feel like a freak...
I bet I'd already be cured.
Then...
are you saying it's my fault you're like that?
Bastard.
Honey!
Soo Kwang, dad's just acting like that
because he feels guilty about your condition.
Dad, it's not your fault.
I'm happy with my life...
and I want you to be happy too.
Honey... Honey!
This is the place, Dong Min.
Jae Yeol... stabbed him with the knife, mom.
If the police asks, tell them that I stabbed him.
The knife has Jae Yeol's prints on it. Go get rid of it right now.
We have to take Jae Yeol to the hospital.
I've already made a mess out of my life
so I'll just go spend a couple years in jail, and I'll be fine.
The bastard's not dead yet, so call the police right now.
Don't forget... I stabbed him.
I stabbed him!
That's the last of what Jang Jae Bum's mom remembered at the time of the investigation.
The physician who ran her psychiatric evaluation said that
there's a high chance she may have dissociative disorder.
[An unconscious defense mechanism where a person dissociates
their actions from their conscience.]
This is just my theory...
but the younger brother, Jang Jae Yeol, was likely aware that the mom was the culprit.
So that's why even though he initially chose to exercise his right to remain silent
when I stated that the cause of death was from smoke inhalation instead of the stabbing
he pointed to his brother as being the culprit instead of his mom in that courtroom.
Everything was just very unfortunate.
What did you call my mom about?
I told her that I asked you to marry me.
What?
I thought we ended that conversation yesterday.
Yes, we did end it yesterday, but we're starting it again today.
You really become obsessive when you get your mind on something, don't you?
- It's all about what you want, isn't it? - Am I really like that?
Are you asking because you really don't know?
I'm not saying right now, but we can get married in a year.
We can get married as soon as you return from your worldwide trip.
Okay, we can just revisit this topic then.
You and I are both planners, and extremely goal oriented.
So as of this moment on, you need to include me in your lifelong plans.
But, you...
You already are a part of my lifelong plans.
I've lived my whole life however I wanted
but now, I'm adjusting to living it however you want.
I like things just the way they are right now.
And your reason being?
I don't like being in a relationship where there's no anticipation or excitement.
It's obvious things will get boring and stagnant
without there being any sense of mystery if we were to get married.
- That's never going to happen. - Yeah, right.
Because just like you said, I'm used to saying goodbyes
and thus, I can end up betraying you.
And I also know that if you were to get sick of me
then you'd disregard all the promises that we've made to each other
just to betray and abandon me in the end.
Which I wouldn't fault you for.
Then we're like a meeting of two traitors?
That's right.
That's why even if we were to get married
unless we want to end up getting betrayed and abandoned by the other person...
we'd have to focus more on each other, be more considerate of one another
love each other more, and try harder than we do now.
What do you think?
No time for it to get dull, is there?
Hey, but what about my career? Jang Jae Yeol.
Jang...
He's always hanging up on me.
How is it possible that everything he does comes across as being provocative?
But, why did you want to come see this place?
I think I need to go see Jang Jae Yeol. Take me to his place in Seochodong.
And you can just go back home.
What about his mom and Hye Soo?
We need to tell them.
Hey, Choi Ho.
I told my producers that we can't do the show on Jang Jae Bum's case.
Tell Jang Jae Yeol that I'll take him out for a drink some time.
Min Young.
Let's go grab a beer. Come on.
Hey... I'm no longer invisible to you?
I'm sorry, but take care of this for me.
I can't believe this!
You're here.
I'm going to go home and rest for a little bit.
Mr. Kim's wife is in the final stages of lung cancer.
They're going to sell off everything, and move into the mountains.
That was his farewell phone call.
Dad!
Don't say anything to mom, okay?
The fear of having to take care of dad on my own if mom ended up running away...
and your fear of not being able to go to medical school if she ran away...
Those selfish fears made us ignore what was going on.
You're not the only person who gets that. I'm mom's daughter too.
Dad, I have to go.
Spend some time and have dinner with mom before you go.
I know what I'm doing.
This is really good.
This is so that you don't get any food on your clothes.
- Where's mother? - She's at home with Hye Soo.
- Here's the check. - Thank you.
And here's a coupon that you can use on your next visit.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Goodbye.
Over here, Jae Yeol.
Drinking in the middle of the day?
What's all that on your face?
It's just some facial hair, that's all. I haven't had any time to shave lately.
Want some?
I really do want some... but I have to write.
I have exactly one hour that I can spare for you.
You're such a cruel scoundrel.
No, your whole day belongs to me today.
You even took my sweet Hye Soo away from me, and you can't even spare me a full day?
You cruel, selfish scoundrel.
Drink.
Ugh, whatever!
- That's a good boy. - That was so delicious.
You need to be very careful.
There are a lot of people who used to be extremely goal oriented and by the book
whose lives have been turned completely upside down and tainted by me.
- Why would you do that to these people? - For the sanity of their mind.
They're so used to being disciplined, and extremely uptight
and once in a while, I help them loosen up their minds and relax.
Because doing that really is good for one's peace of mind.
- No, that sounds destructive. - Drink up.
Go eat that outside.
Why do you have to make that loud crunching noise right by my ears?
Let's go clothes shopping, and then we can go out to dinner too.
Huh? Come on, get up.
Why would we go clothes shopping all of a sudden?
Then do you just want me to give you some money instead?
What's gotten into you?
You look kind of down, so I'm just trying to make you feel better.
Seriously, what's gotten into you?
I don't know, I'm just in a mood.
No, thanks.
I don't want to see you acting high and mighty just because you gave me some money.
What's wrong with gloating? That's the fun of giving you money.
If Jae Yeol says he wants to get married, then marry him.
- Do you even have any money for my wedding? - You make plenty of money of your own.
I'm going to use all that money on my trip next year.
Stop being so ridiculous, you sass.
Mom.
Now that you're up, let's go clothes shopping.
Many people ridicule and make fun of your father's condition.
It's not easy to be accepting of him.
If Jae Yeol wants to get married, then do it.
Listen to what you're saying.
I wouldn't even date any losers who'd say say something about dad's condition.
It's not like they're even going to take care of him.
You're the one who does that.
Mr. Kim is leaving to go into the mountains because his wife is sick.
We're not going to stay in touch anymore.
I just wanted you to know that.
It's not like you two were ever that close in contact.
I know that you just talked to him once in a while.
What? Do you have something to say?
No, I don't.
Okay, let's go out.
I want to see what my successful daughter wants to buy me.
- Should we invite Yoon Soo along? - No.
Today, you're mine.
Come on, let's go.
Seriously?
I really was shocked. I tried not to be, but I couldn't help it.
I may not know about much...
but what I do know is that patients with sexual deviancy issues
don't ever seek medical treatment on their own.
- You're lying. - No, I'm not!
A doctor wouldn't lie! I'm telling you the truth!
He was wearing this trench coat
and he came to me with this serious expression on his face.
Then he told me that he was the infamous trench coat man who's been exposing himself
to the students in front of this one high school for the past twenty years.
So why did he come to see you?
He told me that his reasoning was...
one day, he showed up to this school...
and totally exposed himself like this.
Then one of his daughter's friends saw him doing that and said
'Oh my goodness! Mister, you are...'
She recognized who he was.
He was really lucky that it wasn't his daughter who saw him doing that.
- So, did you fix him? - Who do you think you're talking to?
I got him treated through the use of behavioral therapy and medical treatment.
What kind of behavioral treatment?
Step one.
I told him to get rid of every single trench coat that he had in the house.
Step two.
Get rid of elastic waist pants he could easily take off.
Swap out all the pants for the ones with a dozen tiny buttons along the fly.
So that it won't be easy to take off.
So that he can't ever just pull it down.
That's the key point.
Whenever he feels that sexual urge, he's going to want to pull the pants down.
But he won't be able to unbutton all those buttons.
Unbutton one button, then there's another. Unbutton the next, then there's another.
Once the minutes start to tick by like that...
enough time will pass and he'll lose that sexual urge.
He'll keep losing that urge over and over, and with enough repetition of it happening
he'll come to recognize himself that he needs to wait until that urge passes
without feeling the need to pull down his pants.
Wow, that's too funny.
My mom...
called me.
She said my brother wanted to come stay with her when he got out of jail.
She was so happy about it.
- Thank you, Dong Min. - No, it's nothing.
By the way...
did Kang Woo ever go get checked out at the hospital?
I remember you telling me that he was sick.
Didn't you tell me that he had a hand tremor and that he kept coughing all the time?
He said the hospital told him that he was fine.
How did you two become friends?
Through writing.
Because writing is all either one of us has.
Or... maybe because we both got beat up so much while growing up.
I'm not really sure.
When did you start spending so much time with him?
He'd only come visit me once in a while in the past...
but he's been coming by a lot more often ever since I met Ji Hye Soo.
Have you...
always been this upbeat and optimistic?
I don't really want to talk about that.
Come on, talk to me! I've told you everything about me!
No.
When I was little...
I was just a quiet pushover who was afraid all the time.
After what happened to my step-dad...
I've been forcing myself to always remain upbeat and optimistic about everything.
For the sake of my poor mom, I told myself never to be weak again.
I would look into my mirror every day...
and practice smiling and laughing even though I didn't feel like smiling.
I'd also practice how to joke, and practice my fighting skills...
I'd even practice being the tough guy.
Do you know those desert camels?
Of course, I know.
They're so easily traumatized, so they live their lives bound to something.
Even if their owner unties them in the morning
they still remember being tied up during the night...
so they don't leave and end up staying.
I...
don't want to become like those camels.
When the sun rises up in the sky, I want to be able to recognize that.
So that's why...
I try to exercise mind control on myself.
That my past is in the past, and it no longer exists!
I tell myself that I'm free!
I tell myself that I'm strong. That I'm very, very strong.
Just like the sun that chases the darkness away...
To shine and be bright.
Just like the light that swallows up all the darkness...
live my life bright as the sun...
and remain strong.
More than who?
More than your brother?
My brother is weak.
Weak enough to lose out to me.
My brother...
needs to be compensated.
But you did compensate him.
Tae Yong told me that you have pretty much given him everything you have.
Yes, that's right.
I did compensate him.
Plenty of compensation.
But...
can that really even count as compensation?
Ugh, I'm drunk.
I normally don't drink this much.
Ugh, what now?
What is it?
It's Kang Woo.
Yeah, talk to me.
Author Jang.
They announced the winner of the competition today...
and I didn't make it.
But it's okay. There's always next year.
But...
I'm just worried that you may be disappointed in me.
Even if everyone else in this world may be disappointed in you...
you would never disappoint me.
Hey, you want to come over here?
No, it's okay.
I have to go meet my mom.
It's her payday today, so we're going to have dinner together.
Bye.
Come on, get up.
Come on, get up!
Ugh, have you two lost your minds?
Ugh, he is seriously so stubborn.
He said he's staying here because he's too embarrassed to have you see him so drunk.
He's gone, isn't he? Hey.
Lift up your head and look at me.
You can't even look me in the eyes?
- I'm going to seriously lose it. - Go upstairs and get Soo Kwang.
He won't be able to walk when he can't even get up on his feet.
- Soo Kwang's depressed. - Why?
He fought with his dad in front of So Nyeo.
- Ugh, that scoundrel. - You can walk, right? Come on, get up.
I'll do it. He's my boyfriend.
Come on.
Okay, let's see if we can walk.
You guys are grossing me out with all your kissing.
You're going to wear out your lips.
- One step at a time. - Step.
Take another step.
Good job, boyfriend.
Look at how well you're walking even after all the drinking you did.
Let's go.
Soo Kwang... where is he?
Why don't you just go sleep? You're really drunk right now.
- I want to see Soo Kwang. - Can't you just be happy with me tonight?
So Nyeo says she wants to see me.
Should I go or not?
You have to go.
[Park Soo Kwang]
Why are you calling?
- Why not just come and open the door? - Come in.
I'll see you out in the front lawn.
What if that sass came to diss me just because she saw me fighting with my dad?
Don't even waste your time on a girl who'd disrespect another person.
And don't humiliate yourself by clinging onto her.
That doesn't suit you, okay?
You're finally recognizing me for who I am.
Why is So Nyeo hanging out on our front lawn like some scary looking ghost?
Go down and talk to her.
Even if you do break up with her, you should still have manners.
- Park Soo Kwang, fighting! - Soo Kwang, fighting!
Stop gritting your teeth, you're going to break them.
Just relax and go talk to her.
- What? - Nothing.
I just wanted to see you.
Now that you've seen me, go home.
I really loved your dance when we went clubbing the other day.
So?
I was just stating that I liked it.
By the way, my dad stopped storing trash at the house, and he's selling it for money now.
It's not that my dad hates me or is embarrassed of me
but he's just upset because of my condition.
If you're going to insult my family, then just get lost.
And if you need money, then go look for it somewhere else.
I've... never had a girl initiate a kiss...
Oh my... the long enduring cold is finally starting to pass.
I'm proud of you.
Hey, Young Jin. Sorry for calling so late.
I have a very important case I need your consult on.
Are you free at all tomorrow?
[Park Soo Kwang, you're the manliest of all the men that I know.]
Why are you giving notes only to Soo Kwang, and not me?
Just because.
Just because, my butt. You're just trying to make me jealous.
That's right.
But... why haven't you asked me to marry you for the past couple of days?
Because it would be dull to ask you that constantly.
I'll see you on Friday. And shave your mustache.
Okay.
Jae Yeol.
You're shocked that I'm being released so soon, aren't you?
Huh?
Let's just meet, you and I, without mom and Doctor Jo finding out.
We'll meet and reminisce about what happened 14 years ago.
Just who it was that stabbed him with the knife.
That still won't do anything because you were the one that killed the bastard.
You already know that.
Mom would be so sad to know that you were the one that did it.
Don't you think?
But she still needs to know.
She needs to know the truth.
[Han Kang Woo]
Her name is Natasha Arovsky, and she's 26 years old.
She's an international bride from Russia, and she's suffering from Pseudocyesis.
She found out that she wasn't really pregnant when she got an ultrasound two days ago
and she tried to commit suicide by slitting her wrists.
She's already suffered two miscarriages, so she's obsessed with pregnancy.
Seeing how her stomach deflated quite a bit since yesterday
it seems as though she's acknowledging her mental condition.
She's suffering a severe case of depression.
It's just a figment of her own imagination, so how are her hormones changing
with enlargement of the breasts, and a swollen stomach?
Did I not tell you that the mind controls the body?
Let's contact the support center and ask for some help.
Okay.
- Hello! - Hello.
- Ji Won, are you having fun? - Yes.
What happened with Doctor Lee's patient yesterday?
She's bipolar, and she's been fine for the past five years
but she had a bit of a relapse recently.
Too bad she didn't get help sooner.
She was in that room all by herself for a whole week.
Ugh, what do I do?
Just get married.
What?
Do you know how much I'll be losing if I get married?
If you think that you'll be losing out, then don't do it.
But if you'll be gaining more, then you do it.
I don't know.
After having lived this long...
there are times when I get so upset at myself for being such a snob.
How could I have given up the man I love and having a baby with him for a career?
And what have I gained in lieu of giving that up?
You're the head doctor of our department.
If I had a baby and became a mother...
then I may have become an even better doctor.
You do have a point.
How do you feel now?
Even though there's the guilt...
it makes me care for other patients more.
I pride myself into thinking that I can fix all my patients...
and I help strengthen my patients' own will and volition.
That's what I'm trying to convince myself of.
I have so much respect for you.
I didn't know that the two of you were together.
Okay, I'll leave. You two can have your own date.
But... remember not to cross the line. Okay?
Hye Soo.
You're a strong person, aren't you?
Yes, of course.
But why are you looking at me like that?
Let go of me. I have to go make my rounds.
Why do you look like that?
Jang Jae Yeol...
has a psychiatric illness.
Is it serious?
Yeah.
Let's go to your office.
It seems as though he feels a tremendous amount of guilt over his brother.
I know that it was for his mom...
but after the lie he told about his brother being the culprit
I doubt it was easy for him to live his life as a healthy, normal 16 year old.
I'm sure I would've suffered the same way.
'I had no choice but to abandon my brother for the sake of saving my mom
from a life of beating and suffering.'
'I had to save his mom, therefore, I feel what I did wasn't wrong.'
'The situation itself was the problem, so I didn't commit any wrongdoing.'
That would've been the healthy way for him to deal with what he had gone through.
But Jae Yeol is too kind hearted, so he hasn't been able to forgive himself
so that's why he created Kang Woo, who's similar to him in his head
so that he could protect him.
I think his mom was the bigger problem.
Because had she realized the truth of what she had done
then she wouldn't have been able to live with herself.
I'm sure that he wanted to keep his mom in her current state of dissociation
so that she'd never realize the truth.
That's what probably aggravated his condition more.
The problem is that his illusions of Kang Woo has been going on
steadily for more than three years now, and it's only gotten worse.
It's the worst case scenario.
His hallucinations have become so real
that I don't think it would be easy to convince Jae Yeol that Kang Woo isn't real.
I know. There's a patient I once had who created a hallucination of his late wife
and lived with that hallucination for over 20 years.
We need to notify Hye Soo of this right away.
That footage alone would be enough to force him to be admitted in the hospital.
He's saying that he's afraid that Kang Woo may be at risk of being hurt
and he's creating chaos out of his own life just so that he can protect Kang Woo.
The longer we drag this out, the higher the chances of Hye Soo getting hurt.
Do you remember how Yoon Chul fell down the mountain and hurt his own head
because he was trying to save Hae Jin?
Hey, Hye Soo.
I need you to come over to my office when you're finished working for the day.
Yeah, it's an urgent matter.
Okay, I'll see you later.
So why did you choose 'Before Midnight', which depicts more of the depressing
issue of a married couple who are in their forties?
Is marriage...
You look like you're still single. Are you married?
Ugh, you were such a jerk at that moment.
Yes, I agree.
Have you eaten?
I have to get back to work. Bye.
I don't want to get married.
Yes, I know.
What? Why aren't you taking that seriously?
I'm trying to mold you right now.
I'm hanging up.
Traces of Hye Soo having been here. One.
Traces of Hye Soo having been here. Two.
Traces of Hye Soo having been here. Three.
Traces of Hye Soo having been here. Four.
My over-compulsive self misses you so...
so I leave all these traces of you having been here alone
without cleaning them up and erasing that evidence.
I just hope that one day, these traces of you will become an everyday presence.
Even if you won't marry me, I still love you, Ji Hye Soo.
[I'm fifty-one percent won over.]
I'm here.
What is it?
Why do you both look so serious?
Huh?
----
I love you.
Although I know that it makes you feel uncomfortable.
- But I love you like crazy. - Jae Yeol is very ill.
- Kang Woo is a hallucination. - Why are you not considering other ideas?
Why are you so convinced that he's a schizophrenic?
When Kang Woo and I are alone... I don't know why either.
People usually end up committing suicide in those situations.
Kang Woo, don't ever think that you're alone.
Because you have me in your life.
