(Hate to Love You)
You donated your kidney about 10 years ago.
Yes, that's right.
I donated one of my kidneys to someone I know.
That being said,
you'll need to take good care of the one kidney you have left.
Your GFR numbers are quite low.
Well... How low?
Earlier, you said that everything is normal.
This would be fine if you had normal kidneys,
but you only have one.
You must be careful.
I see. Okay, I will.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
(Episode 27)
You must've had no food since last night. Have the soup first.
I'll become a baby if I spend more time with you.
You didn't have to put salt in my soup.
These things make me happy.
Please don't do such things. They'll turn into habits.
What? What's wrong with that?
It's not like we have a ton of time left to live.
Let's have fun and enjoy our lives while we're still breathing.
You want to have fun?
Yes. Dig in.
Sorry.
Hello? Yes.
What? Come again?
So?
Where's Eun Jo now?
Okay, I'll be there shortly.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Well, Eun Jo is sick.
It looks like I should hurry back.
But you should finish this...
What's the matter with that woman?
She'll pack up her stuff and leave if I ever scold her kids.
Wait up. I'll go with you, Ms. Kim.
Wait, Ms. Kim.
You walk very fast.
I'm just so worried.
You should head to the cafe now too, right?
Yes. Anyhow, I'm so relieved to know that there's nothing wrong with you.
I should let you go, then.
I need to go this way.
Thanks so much for everything today.
Get back safely.
Thank you.
Eun Jo. Hey, where's Eun Jo?
Oh, she must be on her way here now.
She should go to a hospital if she's sick. Why would she come here?
I should drag her to a hospital as soon as she gets here.
Hey. Are you all right?
Come here.
Thank goodness. You don't have a fever.
- What did the doctor say? - What?
He said I'm quite healthy for my age.
Everything is okay except that my blood pressure is a bit high.
Why did you go alone?
It must have been hard for you to fill in the questionnaire.
How did you do that?
People at the hospital helped me out.
- People at the hospital? - Yes.
I feel like I got through a crisis.
I was worried so much if there's something wrong with me.
So you did everything by yourself at the hospital?
I said I did. Why are you asking that over and over again?
The health exam is over now.
You know... I got a call from Ms. Oh.
She found a nice man for you. You'll meet him, right?
Why would I meet him?
You asked me to hire as many matchmakers as possible.
So I asked her to find all the men from rich families.
Would rich parents like me?
Why are you talking nonsense all of a sudden?
You said you were disappointed at Bu Sik's family's financial status.
Bu Sik alone is not bad.
I'll see how things go for a while.
My goodness.
Why is she being fickle?
Hey. Do you know anything about that?
Lawyer Byun is so nice to her.
I think he's a good man as well.
Is that so?
So that's what's going on?
Welcome.
- I was really hungry. - Me too.
Bu Sik.
You must be here for lunch.
Eun Jo, it's been a while.
Yes. Are you here for lunch too?
You don't mind if I join you, right?
- In Woo. - We ordered noodles.
What would you like, In Woo?
Noodles?
Bu Sik hates noodles.
I eat noodles sometimes.
Ms. Dong would be worried if she knows you eat noodles.
I would have stopped you even if you wanted to eat it.
Bu Sik, order something else if you crave rice.
I'll eat your noodles too.
That's okay. I want noodles today.
- Give me tuna gimbap, please. - Sure.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
You like tuna gimbap. Eat this.
I'll eat yours.
Did you order noodles because of me when you hate noodles?
You are so slow-witted.
Don't eat kimchi. The kimchi here is too spicy for you.
In Woo.
It looks like you two are not very comfortable around each other yet.
You ordered all the food he hates.
Bu Sik, tell her what you have to say.
Don't let what In Woo said bother you.
We've known each other for a long time.
It doesn't bother me.
I think I have a lot to learn about you.
I'll try to feel more comfortable around you as well.
It's almost time for my trial. I'll call you later.
Okay.
Did you like the noodles?
You eat simple meals for a rich girl.
Or is it that you look down on Bu Sik?
In Woo.
Yes, Eun Jo.
You're acting so weird today.
Or are you always like this?
What do you mean?
Don't you think you're thoughtless?
Think about what you did before. You were very rude.
You took something that I think is the most important to me.
Why should I worry about what you think?
I never took him away from you.
You lost him because you weren't good enough for him.
You shouldn't blame it on me.
I'm not good enough?
You said being born in a rich family is something you earn too, right?
So what?
In that case, is being used as a rich girl also something you earn?
What do you mean by that?
Is it you that he likes?
Or is it your family wealth that he likes?
Give that a thought at least once.
Are you talking about Bu Sik?
The man you like?
Isn't Bu Sik a person?
I can't believe this.
You're so twisted.
That's what people call sense of inferiority.
Gosh. Seriously.
In Woo.
I'd like a word with you.
Go ahead quickly. My client will come shortly.
In Woo.
I understand how you must feel.
How would you know that?
Don't be so mean like that.
It hurts my feelings.
Nothing in the world lasts forever.
Sadness and gladness succeed each other.
That's why life is sometimes enjoyable and tough the other times.
Why don't you put it simply?
I don't understand what you're trying to say.
I'm saying that our family doesn't have to live like this forever.
"Our family"?
Who? Whom are you talking about?
You and In Jung. Who else would it be?
You said you're getting remarried.
Then her family should be your family.
Doesn't she have any children?
She has a daughter and a son around your age.
After you marry her, they will be your family.
I already told you to worry about yourself.
I want to be someone you and In Jung can rely on all the time.
That's the biggest reason I want to get remarried.
Is that even possible?
Whatever happens, you and In Jung are my only family.
I'll make up...
for the hardships you went through and the tears you shed until now.
I'll let you live with pride and confidence.
So please...
trust me just this once.
- I'll call you later. - Okay.
Mr. Oh, may I ask you something?
Sure. Go ahead.
The CEO wouldn't even notice your hard work. Why do you work so hard?
You can take it easy and enjoy your breaks.
I'm not saying that you should goof off.
- It's because of Chairman Goo. - Chairman Goo?
What did Chairman Goo do?
Thanks to her, my family members were able to live together.
And my mother... Even though she ended up passing away,
Chairman Goo paid all her medical bills until she passed away.
She also let me work at her company when I was young.
I've been able to live a good life without going astray.
Considering what she did for me, the work I do here is nothing.
Does that make sense to you?
You were never kind to me, your own son.
Why were you like that to me?
It would've been nice if you were a little less strict.
Come in.
This is the sales report of our new lipsticks.
I think it'll be a hit.
Don't be too confident just because we launched one successful product.
I'm still worried about not breaking even in the first half of next year.
What was my mom like?
What?
I mean, she didn't even bat an eyelid when her son was dying.
Did you hear something?
Did someone talk about the chairman? What's wrong, Suk Pyo?
Do you know this?
This is the very first time you're talking about your mom.
What about it?
It's important. It's very important.
Suk Pyo, your mom was...
Forget it. I shouldn't have brought it up. That's enough.
Suk Pyo.
Stay out of it.
Suk Pyo, Dr. Kim said that you talking about your mom first...
would be the beginning of your reconciliation with her.
Reconciliation? I have no interest whatsoever in such a thing.
He's still so resentful toward her.
Wouldn't this be a beginning though?
I hope that's the case.
Yes, Secretary Lee. It's me, Kim Haeng Ja.
Of course I know who you are, Ms. Kim.
Well, I'd like to meet with you in a near future...
to talk about investing in the beauty center project.
Please pick a day.
Oh, please call me back, then. Bye.
Hey, you're home early today.
I was worried about you.
My goodness, you worry about me all the time.
You can stop worrying now. The doctor said I'm very healthy.
I saw you and that man at the hospital earlier.
You came to the hospital?
You mean the one where I got the health check-up?
I ran there even though I was late, thinking you might have some issues,
but it looks like I can really put my worries to rest now.
Why am I sensing a bit of disappointment, Myung Jo?
Not at all.
I'm a little sad indeed.
Myung Jo.
Like I told Eun Jo, I'll give you all my support if you like him.
I only got a quick glance, but you looked happy and comfortable.
I'm so relieved because it looks like you met a nice man.
What are you doing there?
It sounds like Haeng Ja will get married soon.
What's going on? Why are you guys standing there?
I'm busy today, so try not to call me.
And I might have to pull an all-nighter, so don't make a noise.
Myung Jo sure is all grown up now. He can be so charismatic.
That wench. She ignores me like this from time to time.
Goodness.
I guess all that's left now is moving in together.
Eun Jo isn't saying anything, and Myung Jo is happy about it.
By the way, do you know that man, Dr. Jung, very well?
What is it that you want to say?
I did some digging around,
and he's dirt-poor.
How did you do your research?
I didn't even need to do much research.
He sleeps in the tiny room at the cafe,
and all of his stuff fits into two suit cases.
He basically has nothing.
I asked people at the university through my acquaintance, and...
Who are you to do a background check on him?
Have you forgotten who I am?
I've been through thick and thin at the market.
You can't be objective about what you're going through.
You're head over heels. I bet you can't see his true colors.
Gil Eun Jung!
I guess you're angry, judging from how you're calling my name.
I heard that he is a gentleman and a nice person.
He just never got a permanent teaching post as he's been unlucky.
It probably means that he has good social skills,
but it doesn't sound like he's a good catch.
If I had said that to her, she would've kicked me out.
I'm getting a bad hunch. Gosh, I'm really getting a bad feeling.
What kind of man would be the perfect match for Haeng Ja?
A highly educated but penniless...
Gosh, seriously.
Don't blame if there are any problems later on.
I did my best to talk you out of it.
For goodness' sake.
You're still not done yet?
I'm almost done. Leave it. You don't need to help me.
What? Do you have something to say?
I met Dad for a few minutes earlier in the day.
Isn't he busy these days?
- Did you see that woman too? - No.
I didn't see her, but I think he has made up his mind to marry her.
Is that right? I'm happy for him.
But he said that he decided to get married again for me and In Jung.
He can say whatever he wants. Goodness.
I guess he does feel bad about it.
Do you actually believe that?
I want to believe him this time.
He wants to be someone In Jung and I can rely on all the time.
He also said he wants to make up for everything we've been through.
Mom.
I want to believe what he said this time.
I don't know how he'll make up for it, but I want to be compensated.
If that can make things better than how they are now,
I'll do it no matter what it'll be.
Did he say anything specific about how we'll be compensated?
Whatever it is, things will get better than this.
Right. Your dad bluffs a lot, but he was never a liar.
He must've told you that because he has plans.
Believe him if you want to.
What's he going to do for the girls?
I heard that the woman he's seeing is rich.
But still.
I should meet up with him.
- That woman. - What?
It's her, the woman In Woo's dad is seeing.
- Really? - Where are you going?
Don't worry.
My goodness. This is where the people in this town meet up.
But I haven't seen her before. Have you?
Oh, right. You are right.
Please don't mind me, and do your business.
That's not what I mean. Didn't you hear what I said?
This is where the neighbors meet...
I don't care what this place is.
I have a lot to think about, so please leave me alone.
If you won't do so, I'll go.
But...
She looks quiet, but she's quite picky.
She won't be easy to deal with, right?
She's not his type.
What's In Woo's father's type?
A quiet and obedient woman...
who looks like she would do just as he tells her to...
Is that so?
Why are you looking at me? My gosh.
Thank you.
Hang on. Where did he go?
The tea is here already.
Please drink it, Ms. Kim.
Where have you been?
I went to pick this up.
I was lucky to find the perfect leaf.
Sorry? Why did you want to...
This is what we used to do a lot when we were in school.
We put a leaf between the pages in a book.
When it's completely dry, we put it in a poetry book.
"Simone, do you know..."
"how dry leaves sound when you step on them?"
I saw other people doing that.
I want to give you back your lost time.
Sorry? You will do what with time?
Everything you missed while living differently from others.
I'll help you do all that one by one.
I want to take you to Jeongdongjin Beach and see the sunrise,
take you on a cruise,
and go on a train trip with you.
There are so many things I didn't have a chance to do.
All I did was work to make money.
I haven't done what others did because of my studies too.
I thought the world would be mine once I get a doctoral degree.
But when I got it,
all I had left in my hands was a debt from my studies.
My kids were growing up.
Teaching classes at a college wasn't enough to make a living.
In the end, what was left...
was this useless title as a doctor.
Holding a doctoral degree is really great.
Please don't say such a thing.
I thought it like that too.
However, I realized that it was nothing but a piece of paper.
Whatever happened, I wanted to be a good father to my children.
But I have done nothing for them.
If I could turn back time, I would make a lot of money...
instead of getting a doctoral degree and become a good father.
The fact that you think like that alone makes you a good dad.
That's not true. I don't deserve it.
How can I be a good father when I don't even have a house of my own?
This is how I am.
I'm penniless and have nothing in my hands.
That's why all I can give you is a mere dry leaf.
Oh, no. Why are you doing this?
It looks worthless.
Gosh. Please don't say that.
To me, this is more valuable than a gold ring.
It's a mere dry leaf that fell to the ground,
but it contains my heart that wants to give you a memory of school days.
I'm sorry...
that I have nothing else to give you.
This is the substitution for the school days I didn't have?
- Every leaf has already fallen. - Right.
Look at that.
Eun Jung. Gil Eun Jung.
I told you to pretend not to know me.
Don't mind her. She's our housemaid.
- Let's put these in a book. - I like this one.
Why are you picking up garbage like that?
Garbage?
It takes one to know one.
Do you even know poems or romance?
Never mind. Just go, and keep picking up waste paper.
Your school uniform is so pretty, Eun Jung.
Hey. I told you not to call my name.
You ditched me...
and walked on autumn leaves with him. You must be happy.
Romance is useless at your age.
I was...
jealous of your school uniform.
Why would you talk about the past?
I saw you picking up autumn leaves and putting them in a book.
And I heard you singing a song in a foreign language.
I was jealous of your life so much.
You looked down on me back then.
You said you hated to see me with Mr. Gil.
That's right.
My kind brother always cared about you.
Your feelings for him were written on your face,
and you were always by his side.
I hated so much to see you next to my brother.
You looked down on me so much.
You were the meanest.
My dad took you under his wing because he felt bad for you.
"She doesn't know her place. How dare she have her sights on him?"
That's how I felt.
I know. At that time,
that made me sadder than...
the cold or hunger.
I regret it.
What?
I thought of this from time to time.
What if you married my brother?
I wish you were Eun Jo and Myung Jo's real mom.
Then when my parents went bankrupt, and we had to leave our hometown,
you might have helped our family to get back on our feet.
Then my brother wouldn't have lived a tough life because of money.
What's wrong with being an orphan and lacking education?
As long as you two like each other, you can be happy together.
Why would you say such a useless thing now?
However, I want to meddle in your life again now.
Does he really like you as you are?
Could it be that he has a hidden agenda?
Mr. Jung is an honest person.
He told me that he's penniless without hesitating.
He did? He must've been bluffing...
He has no money, but has a big heart.
I have a lot of money. Then everything is okay, right?
This is a warning sign.
Above all, he has a strong fatherly love.
That's enough for me.
You've totally fallen in love.
Mr. Gil.
Today, I miss the tough times in the past...
I forgot while living a busy life.
It was such a harsh time,
but thanks to you,
Eun Jo, and Myung Jo, I could endure all the pain.
Goodness, I don't need to do things like this. What a hassle.
- Don't move. - Okay.
It's cold. Gosh, it's so cold.
Mr. Gil. But now,
I'll bury you deep inside my heart...
so that I can focus on the time that I have left.
And I want to start afresh...
for Eun Jo and Myung Jo.
Mr. Gil.
Please watch over us.
Also, please help and guide us so that nothing goes wrong.
(Hate to Love You)
This is for Eun Jo.
You'll be the general manager of the branch.
I'd like to meet Mr. Hong Suk Pyo when I sign the agreement.
I'd like the two of you to just stay friends.
Is there a reason why Haeng Ja can't register her marriage?
I never thought I'd end up getting my hair done at such a tacky place.
When it comes to work, you have to follow my opinion.
I absolutely can't give in.
Aunt, why aren't you fond of me?
Even Haeng Ja doesn't tell me what to do.
You're... I mean you're...
