I was terrible at throwing punches,
but I could take a beating.
I thought I was going to die that day though.
Take what beating?
You should've covered your head at least.
You're right.
They hit and kicked my head in.
Is that why I'm like this now?
What?
Still, that was the first day your mother...
spoke to me.
"Tell the fool to stay the night in the spare room."
I was so pleased.
My eyes had swollen up,
but I grinned in my sleep.
I liked it back then.
What was there to like about those days?
Your friends were in college having fun.
You rushed around markets...
and factories trying to make a living.
But still,
I didn't feel tired at all.
Because you were by my side.
So...
come home with me.
Now I will...
look after you to the end.
(Ward A)
Jin Ok?
Why are you up so early?
Do you feel okay?
It's really you.
- Jin Ok. - Did you have a dream?
Why are you so old?
That's right.
How's my mom?
You should be with her. What are you doing here?
Your mom?
Thugs trashed Mom's market stall...
and ruined everything, remember?
So I stopped them and took Mom to hospital.
Isn't that why I'm here?
Honey...
Why are you staring at me like that?
Honey...
Why are you crying?
Is your mom okay?
My mom's fine.
Are you okay?
Me?
Yes, well, I look fine considering I took a beating.
You know, I think...
we should report them to the police.
There are still jerks who demand...
stall owners to pay for their spaces.
After all that talk about a democracy.
The government should sort this out.
Honey, do you know who the current president is?
My goodness.
Who else could it be?
It's President Kim Young Sam. My goodness.
Did you forget?
- Gosh. - Oh, dear. Honey.
What should I do?
No, honey...
What should I do?
Do you want some more, honey?
Why? Is something wrong?
"Honey"?
You should call me "mister".
It's too soon to call me "honey".
So...
why are you so old?
Because I've aged.
I'm 46 years old now.
What? You are?
You've gotten old too.
You're 58 already.
Look at your wrinkly face.
Me?
Who's this?
That's you.
Am I this old?
We got married and lived together for a long time.
What?
We're married already?
It's been 26 years already since we married.
We have a son and daughter at home.
That's not all.
Our daughter's married, and you have a son-in-law.
Here.
Our So Young and Dae Young and your son-in-law.
Jin Ok.
Let's go home first.
Let's see Mom and then go home.
Okay. Let's go home together.
Dad, where were you?
Do you know how worried I was?
"Dad"?
Welcome home. Don't you worry.
You're back, and that's what matters.
Was it hard, Father?
He's tired. You go and get some rest.
- I'll talk to you later. - Okay.
Mom.
Is Dad okay?
He had an odd expression.
I need you to...
brace yourselves, okay?
Your dad...
doesn't remember you.
He doesn't...
recognize us at all?
No.
He forgot everything.
Your dad...
has gone way back into the past.
What now, Mom?
So Young.
He lost more memories then.
Since when was he like that?
He was fine last night.
When he woke up this morning,
he asked me why I looked so old.
He only...
remembers how I looked before we got married.
He doesn't know his mother's dead.
Then now he only remembers you.
The regression is too fast.
I think the head injury...
sped things up.
What should we do from now on?
So Young.
Don't cry in front of Father now.
We can't get emotional.
We must stay calm and remind him we're a family.
You too, Mother.
We all knew this would happen.
Yes.
Whatever your dad remembers or doesn't remember,
it's okay as long as we're together.
It'll be okay.
I'm so upset, Mom.
So Young, Mom.
Don't be too sad.
I'll help as best I can.
Okay, it's okay.
It'll be okay. We're okay.
It's okay.
Master Sagong. Let's talk.
It seems urgent. Go ahead.
I thought about it long and hard,
but I just don't understand.
- Why did you suddenly... - Excuse me.
Hello, it's me.
Did he just interrupt me to take a call?
Yes, I'm free tomorrow.
It's not my first blind date.
What? He's going on a blind date?
Whatever time you prefer.
Oh, just a moment.
Do you have a pen?
What?
Yes, I do.
Okay.
Shim Eun Hee.
The number is 010...
Got it.
Thank you.
Are you going on a blind date?
As you just heard. I am.
My gosh.
You confessed your feelings for me less than a month ago.
How can you give up and turn away just like that?
Oh, is that why you refused to go on a date with me?
No.
I didn't reject you for the blind date.
I'm going on the blind date because I rejected you.
I might as well straighten out my emotions.
"Might as well"?
Is that how little I meant to you?
Fine!
Go on a blind date and get married for all I care.
My goodness.
How unbelievable.
- Careful, careful. - Stop it.
- Careful, careful. - Hello.
- My gosh. - Sit down slowly. Hang on.
Will you stop it?
- What? - Don't cause such a fuss.
I'm not causing a fuss.
You heard the doctor.
You should watch out even for falling leaves.
Why? Are you sick, Dal Sook?
No, not at all.
I feel a bit under the weather.
You do?
I told you to go home and rest. Why did you come here?
Let's go home, honey.
At your age, being pregnant...
Will you stop talking? I feel embarrassed, okay?
What's the matter?
Am I not allowed to know?
It's really nothing at all.
He's just making a fuss out of it.
How is that nothing?
It's a huge deal, a huge fuss.
Is it something we can hide?
It's a huge issue that affects the singer's well-being.
The manager should know. Don't you think?
Yes, of course.
I need to know to adjust your schedule.
See?
Tell him later. Take your time.
What is this about?
It's okay. You can tell me anything.
Helping the singer accommodate her schedule.
That's my job.
Right.
You aren't sick or anything, are you?
No, I'm perfectly fine.
Then it's okay.
As long as you're not pregnant at your age.
Right?
Mr. Go.
How can you say that?
What? Think about it.
She can't handle her busy schedule if she's pregnant.
Imagine her singing wearing maternity wear.
That would be a sitcom.
I'm going home.
- Honey, honey. - Ms. Oh.
- Mr. Go. - What?
I thought you knew better. You were so rude.
Is pregnancy a crime?
It's more noble and sacred than anything in this world!
What? Maternity wear? A sitcom?
Why are you so upset?
It was just a joke.
It's not like she is pregnant.
Is Ms. Oh pregnant?
Yes, she is. She is pregnant!
What's wrong with that? She is pregnant!
Darn it.
- Honey. Dal Sook! - Mr. Tak. Sir!
Those two... They're killing me.
Honey, honey, calm down.
You can't just gulp water like that.
Drink it slowly, as if you're chewing it. Swirl it in your mouth.
I said stop.
I'm barely holding it in.
Okay.
Sit down first.
Slowly and carefully.
If you do that once more, I really will get angry.
What did I do?
I said I'm embarrassed.
Is this something to brag about?
People will find out even if we try to hide it.
Why do you want to tell everyone?
What if the twins find out?
You won't tell them either?
Why isn't this worth bragging about?
Come on. We're a married couple.
We should brag about getting pregnant at our age.
As if it is.
Didn't you hear Mr. Go? He called it a sitcom.
I don't care if others laugh.
I feel like I own the whole world.
Forget it.
I have so many gigs and events to go to,
and I feel sleepy and tired already.
We can't cancel the events we already accepted,
but we have to adjust your future schedule.
The baby's more important than work.
What? I'm finally making some headway.
We can't adjust now.
I will perform even if it kills me.
And I haven't yet decided...
whether to have the baby.
What are you saying? Of course we're keeping it.
Don't you worry about anything.
I will support you as best I can.
Go and get some rest. Lie down.
- Go to bed. - What should I do about this?
Don't you dare tell anyone else.
I won't, okay?
Go to bed already. Go.
Watch out for the chairs. Watch your step.
Hyeon U, it's me.
Why did I call?
The truth is, Dal Sook...
Is that true?
Congratulations.
Yes, it's great news.
What? Why would you apologize to me?
Oh, not at all.
Okay. Congratulations.
Bye.
Congratulations for what?
The twins' mom.
My cousin Dal Sook. She's pregnant.
What?
Aunt Dal Sook's pregnant?
Yes.
What?
Why don't you look too happy?
My conception dream.
I feel like that was stolen from me.
Heo Se and I shook hands...
while talking about the dream.
We felt a zap a bit like static.
That's why you shouldn't tell others about good dreams.
Are you that upset?
Must I get pregnant soon just to make you feel better?
It's not that, but I felt a bit annoyed.
He knows I had a dream and wanted a baby,
and he called me first to brag.
He doesn't think before he speaks.
Let's go home.
Okay, let's. For our talk with Father.
Let's go.
Do you remember this?
It's your survival of the writer notebook.
Hey. Look.
This is my handwriting.
You stuck our family photo and wrote down our names.
Look at that.
(Cha Jin Ok)
You're all here.
"So Young, daughter".
"Hyeon U, son-in-law".
"Dae Young, son".
Is this all true?
Yes. I kept telling you.
We're married, and we have kids.
Look up here.
Your mom, you, me, and the kids.
Yes, Dad.
I'm your first daughter Kim So Young.
This is my husband, your son-in-law.
I'm Baek Hyeon U, Father.
I'm...
Dae Young.
Kim Dae Young.
So Young, my daughter.
Hyeon U, son-in-law.
Dae Young, my son.
Am I 58 years old?
This is our house?
Yes, it's our home.
It's where we live together.
Dad. We moved here when I was nine.
We lived here since then.
That's Grandma's room.
So Young's room and my room are upstairs.
Wait.
Is my mother really dead?
Was it a good, comfortable death?
Yes. She passed in peace and quiet.
You cared for her well until the very end.
Okay.
Select the mode...
White rice. Cooking will begin.
What is that look about?
I'm so proud of you.
You can cook rice. You're pretty good.
You bet I am.
I've been cooking for the family for over 20 years.
For that long? It must've been hard work.
Wait.
Did you not have a job? You only did house chores?
I was a housewife, but I got a job a short while ago.
- Doing what? - We make cosmetics.
It's what I like doing, and it's fun.
Good. Good for you.
Do you really think so?
Won't you say the house is a mess because I'm always out?
Why would I say that when you're doing what you like?
I always wanted you to have a job.
Your friends Dal Sook and Mi Rae.
You envied them for going to college.
It's good to do what you like.
What?
Do I look weird?
No. I thought of the old days.
Father. Did you sleep well?
Oh, hello, sir.
Dad.
I'm So Young. Do you remember?
Yes, of course I do, miss.
Go and wash your face.
Breakfast won't be ready for a while.
Really? Where's the bathroom?
It's over here.
I'll show you the way.
Okay, thanks a lot.
Thanks.
Did you eat something?
I barely ate a bit of porridge.
I can't eat anything.
You were like this back then too when you were in the early stages.
Hang in there.
In just a few weeks, your awesome gluttony will return.
I hate that idea as well.
What if I gain 20kg like I did with the twins?
I feel sorry for you getting pregnant at your age,
but I'm envious too. Heo Se's just the same.
What?
Why would a girl weighing two men envy me?
If you're that envious, pick one of the two.
Joon Ho's a proven loser,
but he can't seem to live without you.
Then there's Master Sagong whose perfection is a bit too much.
I can't pick him now.
Master Sagong dumped me.
What? But...
He dumped you?
He said he loved you.
He didn't dump you even after he saw the state your place was in.
My gosh. Did you mess up bad?
I did not.
I stood him up once. That was it.
He speaks like a knight, but he's already distracted.
He's going on a blind date.
A blind date?
You sound a teeny bit upset.
Do you think you lost out?
I don't. I don't cling to men who aren't interested.
Wait and see.
I'll draw the line and treat him like...
he's nothing but my coach.
Sure. Good luck with that, Mi Rae.
Gosh, I feel sick again.
Don't go any further
- I will suffer for you - Heo Se.
Director Kang, welcome, welcome. Sit down.
What's this?
What do you think?
I'm here to thank you for helping me get rid of an obstacle.
You are my forever lighthouse.
I am your lighthouse.
What obstacle did I help you with?
You know, that jerk...
that got between Mi Rae and me. Master Sagong.
I did as you said and took him on head-to-head.
And I was victorious.
Congratulations. Good for you.
How did you get rid of such a great guy?
What do you think?
I beat him with my charm.
We both scheduled a date for the same day and time...
and decided to see who Mi Rae would choose.
Do you mean Mi Rae went to see you?
Of course she did.
There's no way Mi Rae can leave me.
She's 46 years old.
What can she do with a guy 10 years younger?
Right. But then, I don't get it.
Does that mean you and Mi Rae will get back together?
Now that the obstacle's out of the way, I'll talk to her about it.
Congratulations, Director Kang.
Mi Rae and I will treat you to a meal one day.
Okay.
- I should get going. - Okay.
Wait. Thanks for the coffee.
- See you. Bye. - Thanks. Bye.
- Hello, Mr. Go. - Hello.
Goodbye.
- Mr. Tak, Mr. Tak. - What, what, what is it?
I have great news. It has happened.
What? What has happened?
- Brace yourself. - Okay.
Dal Sook was invited to sing on "National Singing Contest".
"National Singing Contest"?
That long-running singing show with the famous xylophone?
- That one? - Yes.
This is a miracle.
Going on "National Singing Contest"...
- means she's a major singer. - That's right.
Being a major-league singer means...
she can demand double the pay.
- That means... - We hit the jackpot.
That's it.
The worst times are over.
Mr. Go.
Mr. Tak.
- National... - Singing Contest!
Wait, wait, wait.
Won't she have to dance?
In high heels?
It won't be crazy dancing,
but singing "The Love That Made Me Live" and 2 or 3 more songs...
means she'll have to.
No. No way. No dancing.
What are you talking about?
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
That Oh Baeksuk video she did is nothing compared to this.
She's in the very early stages of pregnancy.
She needs to watch out even for falling leaves.
Then sir,
forget all the upbeat songs.
Let her sing just "The Love That Made Me Live".
She really can't.
I'll talk about it with Dal Sook and...
I don't care.
If you refuse this opportunity,
I'll quit, and that's final.
Oh, dear.
Why hide something that should be celebrated?
We don't keep secrets.
I feel bad.
You're struggling with Bok Nam.
How can I brag about being pregnant?
And to be honest, it's an embarrassment at my age.
Are you okay?
Bok Nam can't even recognize the kids now.
At first, I felt as if the skies had caved in.
I thought the worst had come at last.
The kids were in despair, and we wondered how we'd manage.
Yesterday and today, I was happy.
He's like...
a 32-year-old young man.
I'd forgotten about those days,
but it's as if the Bok Nam I fell in love with...
has reappeared.
What kind of illness is this?
Dementia's like that.
You regress to when you were happiest.
I guess Bok Nam was happiest when you two were dating.
I thought about it today, and I was happiest then too.
At the time,
he was like a father and older brother I didn't have.
He was the biggest fence and protector I had.
That's why even though your mom screamed and cried that...
you couldn't marry someone that much older,
you just left home.
It was the romance of the century.
Cha Jin Ok, you were something back then.
I was.
I loved him that much,
so how did I forget all that?
No couple forgets it because they want to.
Married life is reality,
and most times, money comes before how you feel.
You end up forgetting because life drags you down.
What'll you do now?
Will you keep him at home?
Yes. I will.
At first, I blamed and hated the disease.
Not anymore.
The illness took away a lot of things from us,
and we will lose more down the line, but we gained a lot too.
So I'm not as resentful as before.
My gosh.
This is all so upsetting.
You should've been like this before.
I know.
One day,
he will...
not recognize me either.
"I have plans today."
"I'm sorry to say I must cancel our class."
"I apologize."
What's going on?
He always keeps his word.
What could be that important?
Could it be the blind date?
Is he serious?
Did he cancel our class to go on a blind date?
Is he serious?
Mi Rae, didn't you get my text?
I cancelled our class.
You stay right there, Master.
Don't you dare take one step.
What?
I have plans and must leave.
What plans?
The blind date with that Eun Hee woman?
Yes, that's right.
Why?
"Why?"
How can you say that?
You got me worked up by saying...
you liked how honest and cute I am.
Did you toy with me all this while?
It's not like that. You...
Forget it! Stop!
- Let's date. Let's get together. - What?
What on earth do you mean?
What do you think I mean?
I like you too. Okay?
What?
