Stop it.
You keep backing down. That's why Dad never stops.
I won't give in this time.
This is just tear-jerking.
Jin Ok, you must be pleased to have a son like him.
If Mom won't leave, I'll move out on my own.
Don't you dare.
I won't pay your tuition or living expenses.
Don't you worry. I won't ask you for anything.
Dae Young, stop it.
The situation isn't in your favor.
What situation?
Hyeon U, So Young, what's wrong with you both?
Why don't you care about Mom at all?
Dae Young. Dad's sick.
So Young.
He needs to know.
Dad has dementia.
That's why he's been angry and acting out.
What do you mean?
It's not serious.
Your grandma had dementia, so the doctor told me to be careful.
Why did you shock him by telling him...
what we aren't sure about?
- Mr. Baek, aren't I right? - Pardon?
Yes.
Hyeon U.
Dae Young, your dad...
So move out.
I'm not sick, so move out.
It's worth taking risks when you're young.
You're perfectly healthy, and you should move out with him.
Honey.
It's what he wants. Do it.
And you two can stop visiting.
Live the life you wanted.
I don't need any of you.
Kim Dae Young.
It's hard to believe,
but he was diagnosed with dementia at our hospital.
It's hereditary, so it could progress quicker.
You should...
- Dae Young. - Mr. Baek.
Let him go.
Dad, we're leaving.
Okay. Go ahead.
Also, there's no need to come by every single day.
It's not like I'm dying.
No, it's fine.
I need to come by and be a friend.
I said you don't have to.
Dad. Hyeon U won't be just any friend.
He's working on a program to...
heal your dementia.
Don't say that.
I know it can't be cured.
- Dad, that's not true. - So Young.
Father, I'll come by tomorrow and explain everything slowly.
Get some rest for now.
Okay. Get going.
Okay. Let's go.
He needs to change that mindset.
He's concerned about Dae Young.
Leave it to me.
Thanks a lot, Mr. Baek.
It's nothing.
All he did was boast his entire life.
I wonder what he did to deserve such blessings.
He said that's why his name means "blessed man".
Go home.
- Goodnight. - You too.
- Bye, Mom. - Bye.
- Get home safely. - We will.
Dementia?
He's not that old yet.
I know. I guess it's hereditary.
My grandmother suffered from it for years before her death.
That's why your mother has been busy these past few days.
Did she have a hard time?
It's not that she had a hard time.
We're busy with the release of a new product right now.
So I'm sure your mom was busy both physically and mentally.
How could this happen?
What do you mean?
I want to hate my dad, but I can't do so in peace now.
You can hate him, just stay close to him.
But don't try to leave.
If you leave, you might not get the chance to reconcile.
We might drift further apart if I stay around.
Even so, stay with him.
Don't run away like a coward and suffer through it all.
- Why should I? - When you're on the fence, do it.
If you're debating whether or not to give, just give.
Then at least you won't regret later on.
Away...
This is the smell of ramyun.
Is Dad eating ramyun at this hour?
No way. That's foolish.
There's no way.
Dad.
Did you get Mom's permission?
Do we need permission to eat ramyun?
Then you're eating it without permission?
I asked for dinner, and she gave me two carrot sticks.
I'm not a rabbit.
How am I to survive a long winter night?
Even so, if Mom were to find out...
Dad.
I'll have just one mouthful.
How could you?
Hey, you can't take that much.
Come on.
Slow down.
I only had one mouthful.
Cook one more if you want.
It's okay, I'm fine.
Goodnight.
How much did you nag him...
that he got that nervous about eating a mouthful?
Really? Okay then.
Starting tomorrow, I'll do what sister did. Don't complain.
Sure. I'm done with this lifestyle too.
- Are you back, Dae Young? - Yes.
Were you very surprised?
Why didn't you tell me?
I found out just two nights ago.
I wanted to tell you when I was sure about his condition.
He was diagnosed, wasn't he?
How bad is the prognosis?
Hyeon U says it's the early stages,
but I'm going to the doctors tomorrow to find out.
Are you going with Dad?
No, I'm going on my own.
I think I should hear it from the doctor myself.
I'll come with you. I'll be there tomorrow anyway.
Will you take it back that you'll move out?
How can I leave?
I'm sorry for not asking you first.
Dae Young.
What?
There's something...
I want to tell you.
What is it?
Be good to your dad.
Okay.
(Dementia symptoms)
(Dementia and Alzheimer's, 10 signs)
Mom.
You're back.
Mom. What took you so long to visit?
Honey.
I missed you so much.
Why is your room so warm, Mom?
When did I come in here?
Hey. Last night...
What happened?
Do you remember coming to my room?
I don't...
remember.
Is this what dementia is like?
Do I have...
dementia?
Don't worry too much.
Get some fresh air before breakfast.
Yes. I should do that.
Dad, good...
- Are you going out? - To exercise.
Really? I'll come too.
I'm sorry, Dad.
A man should have a backbone.
Are you apologizing as soon as you hear...
I'm sick?
- I'm sorry. - Not again.
You're just saying that...
out of pity.
I'm not apologizing out of pity.
I didn't know you well enough,
and I got you wrong.
Hey.
Do you think you know me now?
Yes. I think I can understand you...
a little bit now.
You still don't know me.
You have a long way to go...
to understand me fully.
What don't I know?
A person's heart isn't that deep in your chest,
but it still isn't easy to see.
Let's go. Your mom will be waiting.
Where's the second update?
I'm working on it.
Once Ms. Cha comes in, I can finish it by 3pm.
Did she not come to work again today?
She had some personal issues, so I gave her the morning off.
Even if she has personal issues, she shouldn't be an inconvenience.
She isn't an inconvenience.
She is if she's delaying the second update.
The briefing's tomorrow.
And if it hadn't been for her,
we wouldn't have come this far.
What's up with you?
Why are you defending her?
Who's defending whom?
Do you like her or something?
- Is that it? - What if I do?
Will you banish her like Eun Kyung?
Seo Jin. How could you?
I'm busy. Please leave.
He came to my bedroom and called me "Mom".
That's a typical symptom of dementia.
He will do that every now and then.
What should we do now?
When the father's sick, the whole family suffers.
Dementia plagues the family more than it does the patient.
That's why many people shed tears in secret.
I know very well how that feels.
I nursed my mother-in-law, who had dementia, for 10 years.
Then you'll know...
the family suffers with the patient.
I know that only too well.
But...
did you know that symptoms can be reduced too?
They can be reduced?
I couldn't find anything on that anywhere.
Right. Of course, there's no full recovery.
We need government support...
like Japan and other advanced countries.
But what's most important...
is the patient and the family's mindset.
Stop thinking that...
you can't get better, and you're only inconveniencing others.
To do that, the patient...
has to make a huge effort.
He should be here listening to this.
The doctor told him all this.
And I'll be there to remind him all the time.
Right. Nurse Baek will know what to do.
Thank you.
The wife, son, and son-in-law.
You all got together for Mr. Kim's sake.
It's a lovely sight.
If the family works together,
the results will be good too.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Sure. Goodbye.
(Seo In Sook, CEO)
I apologize.
I had some family issues and put work aside for a few days.
I'll make sure it doesn't happen again. I'm sorry.
Who can manage to work full-time...
while taking care of every family issue?
We handed over the second report.
That's not the problem.
Then what is?
Director. I'm talking as the CEO of this company.
And I'm here as the director.
My team is managing the home shopping project...
and I'm in charge.
Why are you calling in my employee and harassing her?
The employee that the director is coddling...
has been very negligent of her work.
If this keeps happening, hire another person.
Is it her fault we aren't hiring more?
It's because of my illness.
Don't you get it?
You're...
Ms. Cha, excuse us.
I need to speak with the director in private.
Yes, ma'am.
What's this aroma?
It's Einspanner.
I added chocolate and cinnamon, so it's very sweet.
- You make fancy coffee too? - Yes.
It's my secret weapon.
It comforts wounded hearts.
I'm sorry to get you in trouble.
Was it hard for you?
Not me. You.
You're struggling.
Drink that and cheer up.
I'm sorry I keep causing trouble.
I shouldn't when I'm on your payroll.
I think I should quit.
Dae Young told me what's going on.
He was here last night.
Was he?
It hit him hard, didn't it?
That's for him to handle.
It's not your fault that a family member's sick.
It might sound cold,
but he won't get better even if you quit your job.
But I'll be able to look after him properly.
You finally got something that's yours.
I'd like you to keep it and your identity.
If this home shopping deal works out,
you can work part-time or manage the stores.
I'll help you.
Thank you for just saying that.
Why is she here again?
Sister.
I told you not to come into my home.
I brought some food.
Don't come inside.
I don't welcome the food you bring anyway.
I have others who bring me food anyway.
So take everything and go home.
How can I take back what I brought?
Hey. Don't!
My gosh.
Hey.
Why are you so insolent? Don't you have manners?
Will you get the hint at once?
Okay, fine. This is the last time.
I won't bring any more even if you ask.
Do you know why I don't like you?
Why don't you like me?
Everything in your life is a show.
You're not serious or consistent.
What did I do?
You bought Dong Hyun a tablet to make him think you're a nice mom...
and acted like you'd do anything for Joon Ho.
Then you suddenly changed your attitude...
after paying 300,000 dollars for the medical malpractice suit.
That's the show I'm talking about.
That will backfire on you one day.
I did all that for a reason.
Anyway, sister.
How are things going with Master Sagong?
Did you come here to spy on me?
Why would you say that?
I came to drop off some food and asked out of curiosity.
Who is it this time?
Are you Nam Mi Rae?
Yes, I am. Thank you.
Who is that from?
To Nam Mi Rae, from Sagong Chang Ho.
My gosh. It's from Master Sagong.
Good for you.
Why did he send a flower basket?
Hey. Why are you taking photos?
They're pretty.
Sister, if you let him go, you'll regret it forever.
Keep him close.
Do you know you're being a bit too transparent?
I'm not just saying that for my sake.
You aren't exactly young anymore.
Will you live alone forever?
Focus on your own life and future.
If you get any older, no one will want you.
You, get out of here.
You always make me feel unpleasant and leave a bad aftertaste.
Get out of here right now.
And I'm warning you.
Don't come here with food again.
- Go. Get lost. - Okay, fine.
My gosh.
(To Nam Mi Rae, from Sagong Chang Ho)
It's not like me to accept things like this.
It's not like you?
What does that mean?
Why should I take it when I don't like you?
I said I like you.
Did I ask you to like me?
Isn't that the same thing?
It's not the same thing.
I just...
want you to know how I feel.
Then why did you send the flowers?
Flowers go hand-in-hand with a love confession.
I had to blurt out that I like you because of Dong Hyun's stepmom,
so I didn't have the flowers then.
So the confession came first and the flowers later.
That's what happened.
It's late, but I'll do what I must.
You know what I'm like. I'm simple.
I hate complicated things.
So I thought about it.
Who told you to think? Don't think.
What?
I told you my feelings yesterday, and you're done thinking already?
Master.
However simple you are, problems like these...
I just...
don't like complicated issues.
Mi Rae.
Dal Sook.
Master. Shall I come in or leave?
You can ignore her and come in.
Okay.
We'll practice what we did last time. I'll go first.
Now you.
(Intention of Consensual Divorce)
Soo Mi, I'm going out for a bit.
- For how long? - Not too long.
Should someone in the pop industry...
be such a hermit?
Find out where he lives as soon as possible.
Okay, do your best. Thanks.
Heo Se.
Hi there. Sit down. Sit, sit.
You must be so busy with both businesses.
I'm not sure if this is fate or not.
Did I get into something I shouldn't have?
Why do you look so down?
I'm wondering if I married a woman I shouldn't have...
to give myself a hard time.
What is it this time?
I made up my mind. I'm going to split up with Song Joo.
What? Do you mean you'll get a divorce?
I went to court today.
I got the divorce papers.
Did you talk about it with Dong Hyun?
He's getting on well with his stepmom.
She bribed him and earned his favor...
with a new tablet.
If he finds out there was a camera in his room,
he'll understand.
Will Song Joo split up with you that easily?
That's why I want to meet you for dinner...
to come up with a plan.
I have to raid the house of a composer called...
Yoo San Gyoon or Woo San Gyoon.
Really?
You're meeting a composer already?
Thanks to the vocal coach Mi Rae introduced Dal Sook to,
her vocal skills have improved drastically.
Do you mean Master Sagong?
Yes, Master Sagong.
Thanks to him, Dal Sook no longer gets hoarse.
Did she tell you anything about Mi Rae...
and Master Sagong?
Why? What is it you want to know?
Oh, about the fact that he likes Mi Rae?
Is that true?
Oh, come on, you foolish man.
I heard he confessed his feelings.
The teacher did?
Of course he did. Would Mi Rae have?
Honey.
I heard your wife tracks your every move.
Did you tell her you'd be here?
Honey, don't be like that.
He's considering divorce because of that.
Are you really?
Well, I'm thinking about it.
Mi Rae's not with you?
She left first.
I'm not sure if it's a love spat,
but it involved a flower basket.
A flower basket?
I heard you saw my doctor today.
What did he say?
Mother wanted to check the facts for herself.
Is there a secret you aren't telling me?
Like how doctors tell the family one has cancer...
but not the patient?
It wasn't like that.
There was something you should've heard yourself.
Do you think...
dementia is curable or not?
I haven't heard of anyone who was cured.
You'll be the first to be cured of dementia.
Of course, no one has been fully cured yet.
But some have improved.
Really?
For that to happen, you must change your mindset.
You must strongly believe that you can get better.
The doctor says you must make a huge effort.
What should I do and how?
Hyeon U will help with that.
Okay.
I'll give it a go.
I moved from the countryside and made a living in Seoul.
I can get through this too.
How are you getting on with your stepmom?
It's not like before.
She's nice to me, so I like that.
I see.
The truth is,
it's a bit too much for me.
I'm not happy.
Will you get a divorce?
I don't know.
What would you think if I got divorced?
It's the same again.
I'm sure I said this before you divorced Mom.
What does it matter what I think?
Even so. I should hear your opinion too.
Will you not divorce if I tell you not to?
You feel bad for me,
so you're just pretending to value my opinion.
Hey, even so, do you have to put it like that?
If you're that much older, you should be more considerate.
- What's this? - Take a look.
(Intention of Consensual Divorce)
Are you serious?
Do you think I'm kidding?
You know very well how things proceed.
You've been through it before.
- What do you mean? - I mean this.
Hey, Seol Song Joo. What was that about?
Joon Ho, are you that stupid?
I believe I told you.
You can bring me 100 of these,
but you can never divorce me.
Okay, fine.
I'll see you in court.
He still doesn't get it.
Fine, I'll see you in court.
I'll make sure you never mention divorce again.
I nursed my mother-in-law for 10 years, so I know things.
The doctor was very right.
Dementia plagues the family too.
The family suffers more than the patient.
Much more.
So you cry in the shadows.
I never thought about it while nursing your grandma.
I changed my mindset this time.
Dementia can be cured. Improvements can be made.
So once we wrap up the project I'm working on now,
I will quit my job.
That's not what Father wants.
When he first found out he had dementia,
you were the first person he worried about.
He feared you'd quit.
Did he?
The director said he'd help me sort things out.
Let's think about that in due time.
Dae Young?
I'll...
quit my hospital job and help at Dad's store.
You'll be at odds with him every day. Can you manage?
If I don't help at the store,
it'll be too much for Mom.
She can't focus on work.
Thanks.
I'll help Mom set up a diet...
good for dementia patients.
Yes. Help me find out what foods are good for him.
I'll cook whatever I can myself.
After work, I'll visit Father...
and embark on a fight dementia project.
A fight dementia project?
Yes. We'll do activities that will...
stimulate his brain and help jog or improve his memory.
Thanks so much, Mr. Baek.
You're an expert in the field, so tell us what we must do.
I won't have to.
You all have a strong idea of what you want to do.
But things will get harder as time goes on.
When it does, you must try to stay strong.
It's hardest on Father most of all.
He'll be anxious and fear for his future.
We have to help him through that.
Dementia doesn't incapacitate you.
It just makes you forget how to do things.
We have to teach him each time.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
I got it! Yoo San Gyoon lives in Jangsa-gu.
He's a regular at the local vet.
That's Director Kang's clinic.
I'm Kang Dong Hyun, Ms. Nam Mi Rae's son.
Dong Hyun, how was I today? Cool, right?
Please, don't do something that can be misconstrued.
Your wife will have a fit if she knows.
Why are you here?
Are you excited about sharing a bedroom?
We aren't young anymore. Why would I be excited?
Do I have dementia?
