TO ACTUAL PEOPLE, PLACES, INCIDENTS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND SETTINGS
Cold wind isn't good for you.
Ji-won.
You're still so pretty.
I won't forgive you if you leave me.
Don't forget you have me.
You have to live a long life with me.
Thanks.
I got unlucky in my marriage, but I'm glad I have you.
Why would you say that?
Min-hwan's a great husband.
-He's cheating on me. -What?
He texted me "I love you" and "I miss you."
Then he deleted it right away.
I'm sure it was sent by mistake.
Don't get sensitive.
Do you want me to talk to him?
Forget it. I just need you.
I only need you too.
Let's only think good thoughts. Okay, my other half?
Ms. Kang Ji-won, it's time to go to the transfusion room.
This medicine won't hurt at all.
You'll get better once it's done.
Never give up.
CHEMOTHERAPY
I can't remember the last time I was happy.
So why do I miss it so much?
I was given six months.
Twelve months, if there was a miracle.
It's all pointless now.
Great job. You look so beautiful today.
You look beautiful.
I picked the perfect dress for you!
Forget it. You're part of our family now.
You're my daughter.
You poor thing.
It's not your fault that you didn't receive proper household discipline.
As your mother, I'll teach you now.
You pitiful girl.
Min-hwan's the third generation of families with only sons.
Three generations!
How dare you sever that?
I'm sorry.
I took in a worthless girl like you. Why can't you have kids?
Do you even know how to do anything?
-Mom, bear with her. -Let go.
What a waste. Sit down. Why are you so angry?
DUGA HOLDINGS
What? You quit your job?
I'm going into stocks.
Do you remember Roijental? Look.
A few more trades, and it could change our lives.
But I can't trade when I need to because of work.
It won't work for me.
We have monthly loan payments!
We should've discussed this!
Hey! Are you messing with me?
Why would I have to discuss this with you?
Mom!
Do you think I'll do well? Do you think I'll hit it big?
Of course. My son can do anything.
Issues at home? Does the world revolve around you?
Everyone here has issues at home.
This is why married woman shouldn't work.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
You said you'd fix the lock today.
Do I look like a bum?
Working overtime every day
doesn't mean you're good at your job.
You're so busy running around because you're so bad at it.
Know your place.
Don't you hear the washing machine?
I started it,
-so you could've taken out-- -Jeez.
Hey!
I've been working all day, and I just sat down.
I won't do it.
It's stage 4 gastric cancer.
Things don't look good.
You poor thing.
My poor son.
Why did you have to marry her?
This is why you have to pick people carefully.
I thought things were looking up. How could I be so unlucky?
Mom, if Ji-won has cancer,
who will make my meals?
You're too nice! Why would you worry about that?
People need to work to overcome illness.
Technology is advanced these days. She'll be fine.
Right?
Don't think about telling your company. Work until you can.
Don't think about acting emotionally just because you're sick.
It's a nuisance!
Can't they just zap it out?
It'll be fine. We've got technology.
Cancer is no big deal nowadays.
Your therapy is finished.
EPISODE 1
Don't worry about your husband's affair.
It's better off without them when you're older.
You're not well. Don't think about bad things.
You have a great friend.
She's so pretty and pleasant.
You're right. I have a great friend.
She's a good worker too.
She's a manager at U&K.
It's the company I worked at.
To be honest, I lack a lot of things.
Babe!
But Su-min was the only one who stayed by my side.
She's always been,
and she always will.
Ms. Kang Ji-won?
Well...
Your guardian must come if you want to continue treatment.
They need to come pay or take you home.
I'm very sorry.
Please settle it by the end of the day.
The person you are trying to call...
Pick up.
The person you are trying...
Did you take the deposit?
Answer the phone.
I'm begging you. Pick up the phone.
You quit your job after we got married,
so I had to support us, but forget that.
But at least pay the hospital bills.
Answer the phone.
PYEONGAN MEDICAL CENTER
TAXI VACANT
Heungma-dong, Haeyeong Villa.
Goodness. You must be really sick.
You'll get better.
Spring has come.
I won't get better.
I'm dying.
Stop it.
You can't say bad things like that.
The doctors told me.
It's true.
Nothing good can come from living.
Why would you say that?
TAXI DRIVER CERTIFICATION NAME: CHOI NAM-HYEON
My father passed away early.
I don't have siblings.
I barely have a husband.
No.
It would've been better not to have one.
Then...
I wouldn't have any debt, and I'd be able to pay my hospital bills.
You need to follow your path until the very end to know for sure.
Excuse me. This isn't the way.
I'll take you down a good path. Just trust me.
See? We're here.
I told you.
The path you know isn't the only one.
There are other paths.
That path could be better.
HAEYEONG VILLA
9,600 WON
Thank you.
Wait just a moment.
Ma'am?
This is my last day as a taxi driver.
Take it. Think of it as an allowance from your dad.
You'll gain energy in no time.
You'll be running around, making big money.
You'll meet someone
who would die for you and have a good life.
No, you don't have to do this.
Come on now!
You're hurting an old man's arm!
But I think you're really smart, babe.
How did you think of cancer insurance?
Her dad died of cancer.
She kept getting thinner.
I thought it was time, so I took out a policy.
Amazing. You did a good job.
Was it a billion won?
Yeah, if she dies.
I already got the diagnostic insurance and bought you that designer bag.
I put the rest in stocks to buy you a better bag.
You're so sweet.
Let's buy a house when Ji-won dies.
That sounds nice.
But this bitch is holding out longer than I thought.
I even didn't tell her to go to a doctor after I took out the policy.
She's persistent.
Maybe I'll take her out for some air and push her off somewhere.
No. What if you fall too?
Why not? I can push her gently.
No one would know.
What the hell has she been eating? Why is she so tenacious?
You should eat whatever she ate.
I don't need to. I'm already strong.
You crazy bastards!
Ji-won?
Babe, are you okay?
Spit it out!
-Are you okay, babe? -I'm okay.
This is insurance fraud.
I'm going to report you.
Hey!
What the hell?
Babe, are you okay?
-I'm okay. -Are you sure?
-Yeah. -Okay.
I won't forgive you if you leave me.
Jeong Su-min.
I'm going to kill you both!
I'll kill you both!
Hey!
That's enough.
Aren't you sick of this?
Come on.
This little...
Hey.
What the hell can you do right now?
Let's go.
Move out of the way.
Hey!
Come on!
Wait.
Ji-won.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
That's enough.
We can't do anything about it now.
The living should go on living.
You're going to die anyway.
You always think only about yourself.
This is great.
You think you won't die?
You don't think it'll happen to you?
-It'll happen to you. -Stop!
-What? -Stop it!
Babe!
Hey!
If you're going to die, just die already. Get lost!
I longed for the happiness I've never had, yet here I am,
with my good old friend, unhappiness.
Babe.
I think she's dead.
She was going to die anyway.
Does it matter how she dies?
What happens to us?
Stop talking!
People with cancer faint often.
She tripped and fell.
And we found her like this. We know nothing.
What if we don't get paid?
-Well? -What now?
I was given six months.
Twelve months, if there was a miracle.
I didn't even get to live that much.
I just died.
APRIL 12, 2023
MARRY MY HUSBAND
Babe, what are you doing?
Why are you spacing out?
Why aren't you wearing your glasses?
Did you go to the hospital?
What did they say?
Babe, what's wrong? That hurts!
That hurts!
What's wrong with you?
Hey!
Kang Ji-won, let go! Let go of me!
Let go of me right now!
Ji-won, let go!
God damn it! Let go!
Ms. Kang Ji-won!
Snap out of it.
We're at work. What are you doing?
Work?
Are you okay?
What's going on?
I don't know.
Were you hurt?
Just a second.
Kang Ji-won.
Ji-won!
The living should go on living.
You're going to die anyway.
Get lost!
Hey, Ji-won!
Stop.
Can you calm down now?

Where are we?
From the company,
you ran over 200 meters.
You were sprinting.
I should ask you the same.
What's going on?
Do you have something warm at home?
No, I'm fine.
Do you have cash?
You have no phone or wallet.
ASSISTANT MANAGER KANG JI-WON
Take it.
There are times you need someone else's help.
Thank you.
PACK DATE: 03.17.2013 EXP DATE: 04.17.2013
MFG DATE: 04.10.2013
It's all 2013.
It's warm.
Let's me get this straight.
Is this a dream?
If it is a dream, which one is real?
Dying at the hands of Park Min-hwan in 2023?
Or 2013 when I'm 31?
No, 2023 wasn't a dream.
I...
I know who General Manager Yu Ji-hyuk is.
Mr. Yu Ji-hyuk, how do you feel?
Chairman Yu Ji-hyuk, who was promoted to CEO of U&K in 2021,
has full ownership of U&K Food and Finance...
His succession process has been completed.
U&K GROUP CEO INAUGURATION
2021 51ST ANNUAL U&K SHAREHOLDERS MEETING
No one knows right now,
but our general manager...
I will not stop
until we become a global lifestyle company.
...is U&K founder Yu Han-il's grandson.
That's my vision of U&K.
His succession process will begin in a few years.
The fact that I know this...
Does it mean I travelled back in time?
That's right.
Where's the money he gave me?
Here it is.
Take it. Think of it as an allowance from your dad.
You can't mark on money.
Dad!
You can't draw on money like that.
Those aren't drawings.
It's love.
To us, it is love, but you can't do this.
Fine. Don't worry.
I should listen to you.
I'll do everything you want.
I can't believe you.
It's from Dad.
NAME: CHOI NAM-HYEON
NAME: KANG HYEON-MO
I'll do it all.
I'll do everything for you!
Dad...
You should have told me it was you.
Why is your face so bloated?
Come out. Let's go eat.
Ji-won, what's going on?
You haven't been picking up since you ran out.
I'm worried about you.
I'm coming over right now.
I'm not feeling well.
Don't come. I'm with Min-hwan.
Oh, my.
Hey.
You're so immature.
Yeah, I know you have a lot on your mind. That's okay.
I don't understand,
but women say it happens, so, fine.
I get it.
But you're making it too obvious at work.
Isn't that wrong?
What good can come from making things bad for me?
Speak so I can understand.
When did it happen?
We haven't done it in a while.
Why are you pregnant?
Are you sure it's mine?
What?
You told me you think you're pregnant.
I remember.
I couldn't stomach anything, so I thought I was pregnant.
It was gastritis from stress.
Was this the start?
It wasn't enough he stressed me out until I died,
he had an affair with my friend.
I was just kidding.
It's not like you could do that with another man.
Don't take this the wrong way.
I'm just saying that you're not young.
If you step back now, you can't work again.
That's a huge career break.
You love work.
You don't want to become some old stay-at-home lady.
Having a baby now
is like clipping the wings off of a free bird.
If I hadn't known you'd sponge off of me after quitting your job,
your words would be plausible.
Get an abortion.
As for the fee...
Fine.
I'll pay for half.
-Half? -If you're going to do it anyway,
do it quickly for your body.
Also, I don't want kids.
Nothing good can come from it.
Min-hwan's the third generation of families with only sons.
How dare you sever that?
I'm not pregnant.
It's gastritis.
You're not pregnant?
It's gastritis? I see.
Then why are you so sensitive?
Let's break up.
-What? -Are you done talking?
Are you done talking?
I tried to be understanding when you were acting crazy today.
And you want to break up?
Let go of me!
You little...
Did I say something wrong?
Why are you being hysterical?
-I forgot. -Are you crazy?
Park Min-hwan
doesn't care if I die.
But can't stand the idea of breaking up.
Let go of me and talk!
Who do you think you are to break up with me?
I'm going to kill you.
Tell me. What is it?
Tell me.
Do you think you can break up with me?
How dare you say that.
Tell me. Why?
Tell me.
Is anyone there? Someone, help me!
Help!
Please help me!
Miss?
You can't come to the police station over a lover's quarrel.
It's not like that. He almost...
I know. I get it.
But eight out of ten women
ask us why we're doing this to their men.
How ridiculous is that for us?
You know, sir.
There are days when women are sensitive for no reason.
I'll apologize on her behalf.
You weren't hit, and nothing's broken.
I see your boyfriend works for a big company.
You can't come to the police just because you got angry and sensitive--
Excuse me.
Do I have to come here after something's broken?
Forget it.
Can you at least take me home?
It can't be like this.
BALANCE: 718,916 WON
What am I supposed to do?
BALANCE: 718,916 WON RECIPIENT: PARK MIN-HWAN
At this time, I was scared to break up.
So I did whatever he wanted.
He already has a lot of my money.
He's used my card and cash loans.
What do I do?
I can't see a way.
I already settled my severance pay.
I can't run away with 700,000 won.
I won't last a month.
I'm sorry I got mad and yelled.
-But you're at fault too. -What the hell?
I meant what I said earlier.
I was going to buy you a bag
once the stocks do well.
I got inside information on Roijental.
He's crazy.
Let's get married after this.
I'm going into stocks. Do you remember Roijental?
Roijental?
Why didn't I think of that?
Roijental!
The only success in Min-hwan's life.
I see a way now.
I'll use this to get through this for now.
I don't remember everything
that happened since 2013,
but I know what was successful.
I can do this.
I'm going to live a proper life this time. For real.
I told you.
You didn't have to do the scan.
It's just gastritis.
It's serious, so take your meds.
Don't be stressed.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
I just need to maintain my health.
READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO QUIT YOUR JOB
Sir?
"Retiring With Stocks Isn't a Crime."
"Will You Die as a Salaryman?"
"Read This if You Want to Quit Your Job."
Do you plan on quitting?
No.
Is that by chance...
Did you get hurt yesterday?
I'm so sorry. I was so out of it.
Buy me a meal if you're sorry.
I like gukbap.
What's wrong?
What?
When you said a gukbap restaurant,
I didn't think it'd look like this.
Are there others?
No.
I never spoke with him before, so I didn't know.
He's very...
Thank you.
You can tell he's super classy.
Let's eat.
How is it?
A lot better than I thought.
You haven't tried it yet.
What are you referring to?
I meant the food.
Thank you.
Was he always like this?
He's more handsome and considerate than I remember. Also...
Did you go to the hospital?
Yeah, I just did.
Then I stopped by the bookstore.
Thank you for yesterday.
You took me home,
and bought me the cup noodle and chamomile--
You're different today.
I am?
Are you really going to quit?
I was considering it.
I can't keep going like this.
I figured it was time for a change.
-Marriage? -What?
You bought a book about interior. I just assumed.
MASTER INTERIOR DESIGN
No, that's not...
True, I was preparing to marry Park Min-hwan this year.
I do have to think about marriage.
In that I'd rather die than do it.
Actually...
OTHER HALF
It's okay.
Ji-won, call me right back, over.
Why won't she pick up?
She caused a scene at work yesterday.
You're my only friend, Ji-won.
Where the hell is she? Why won't she answer?
It's the same scar.
I'm so sorry!
The scar looks bad.
It's fine.
Let's go.
Okay.
Thanks for the meal.
That makes us even.
One meal was enough.
Okay.
Also...
You are a very talented person.
Getting married and starting a family is nice,
but I think it'd be a shame if you quit.
As your boss.
Thank you.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Okay. Bye.
WORK, MEAL KIT, STOCKS
MEAL KIT
You are a very talented person.
I was scared of him because he was always frowning.
But he's a pretty decent person.
How did he know I was talented?
I had forgotten
that I was good at my job.
I wanted to do a lot of things at work.
Things I had to give up after getting married
because I didn't want to discourage Park Min-hwan.
Things Kang Ji-won wanted to do.
KANG JI-WON
What's her deal?
She's pissing me off again.
Why do I have to go through this because of Min-hwan?
Get to work, everyone!
Work starts in ten minutes. You should all be ready.
I'm watching you all.
Get to work! Got it?
Kang Ji-won.
Kang Ji-won!
ROIJENTAL
QUANTITY: FULL AMOUNT
PURCHASE
WOULD YOU LIKE TO PURCHASE? YES
Wow, it went up even more.
How far will it rise?
Ji-won.
I thought you'd call last night.
What did you do?
Last night?
You know MODU Community.
I was browsing the Marriage, In-laws & Family Board,
and I lost track of time.
I see.
There's this woman who has late stage cancer.
She saw her husband and her friend in bed.
Really? That's crazy.
It is, isn't it?
Wow, that friend is worse than the husband. So gross.
How could she do that to her best friend?
I know.
She's going to die anyway, so she probably thought it was okay.
You can have everything I own if I die.
But if you die, I will too.
-Kang Ji-won. -Yes?
When will you get your touch back?
You don't like my proposal? Is it that bad?
"Bad"?
That would be saying it nicely. This just sucks.
It sucks!
MEAL KIT PROPOSAL FOR SINGLE HOUSEHOLDS
This was turned down at this time.
However,
Su-min proposed it without changing a single word and he proceeded it.
Ji-won.
This is great!
Can I fix it a little and propose it again?
She became a full-time employee with this and got promoted.
Does this make sense to you?
Single household? Meal kit?
Why would someone living alone cook?
"Add water to a pot and boil it"? How bothersome.
And the green onions are vacuum-sealed?
Jeez, freeze-dried squid?
Opening all these packages will take a whole day!
Does this make sense to you?
The development team will say, "Do it yourself if you can!"
-What do I do? -Manager Kim Gyeong-uk.
He's rude and incompetent.
He's an opportunist.
Who was it again?
He has relations with a famous higher-up.
Who am I talking to?
Ms. Kang?
What are you thinking about?
If you tell me what it lacks, I'll edit it.
This is the problem with women. They're so dependent!
You need to figure it out yourself.
Also, try to be considerate of others when you come to work.
Why are you dressed like that?
Ms. Yang's like that because she's married
but you're not.
How are the men supposed to take it?
This is because women don't do military service.
Our country should make women serve too.
Right, Mr. Park?
Yes, I'll proceed with it.
Right?
Fix this and bring it back.
She's Kim Gyeong-uk's right-hand person, so we barely spoke.
But she's a good employee.
Mr. Kim prevented her promotion until she quit the company,
but she deserved to be a manager.
-Excuse me-- -Ms. Yang.
Mr. Kim's looking for you.
This is nice!
-Let's talk. -No.
But, I...
Damn it.
Goodness!
Be careful.
Are you okay? You suddenly jumped out!
What was that? Something just...
No, I'm fine. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
It felt the same. I'm sure of it.
It was the same spot too.
No.
That's not possible. What am I thinking?
Hey.
Hey!
Hey, Ji-won! Hey!
Kang Ji-won!
Are you okay?
Eventually, I got hurt.
In the same exact spot.
I avoided it, but I couldn't avoid it.
Wait, does that mean...
No.
But my injury is gone.
I once burned myself because I was so anxious
I might've been pregnant and spilled some hot water.
What does this mean? I'm missing something.
ASSISTANT MANAGER PARK MIN-HWAN IMAGE SENT
SELL
PARK MIN-HWAN ROIJENTAL
PREVIOUS SALE: 81,415
You sold Roijental?
Let's talk.
Are you ignoring me?
You're being so rude!
Hey. I sold my stocks.
To pay you back.
I deposited it. Check it.
If TKU Technology does well,
it'll be huge, so I don't regret this.
Just remember I sold incredible stocks for you.
That's who you are to me.
TKU Technology?
The ruling and opposing lawmakers involved in the TKU list...
I know nothing about stocks, but I know about TKU.
It was a famous Pump and Dump.
The CEO ends up running off abroad
and the stock gets delisted.
He sold Roijental,
and bought TKU?
I bought Roijental.
And Park Min-hwan sold it.
Let's start the meeting for Team One.
Bring the survey data for the new product.
Yes, sir.
Wow, it went up again.
Hey. I sold my stocks.
What's bound to happen will happen.
How's your injury?
It just needs to happen to somebody.
You're always getting hurt.
I thought I was having a heart attack.
Are you listening to me?
Su-min.
I have some trash to throw away.
Will you do it for me?
What are you talking about?
Please.
You're my other half.
Okay.
In return, let's hang out this weekend.
I found a yummy BBQ restaurant. It's called Goseuljung.
Yeah, let's do it.
As long as you throw out my trash.
Okay.
Assistant Manager Kang and Ms. Jeong. Hurry up.
Coming.
You've been coveting my trash.
You take it out.
Marry my husband.
Subtitle translation by: Suyun Mounce
I need someone to steal my fate.
If anyone, it has to be you.
Ji-won, this is no fun.
I hate it.
If things didn't go your way,
you'd behave perversely. I knew that.
Mr. Park, you're a competent man.
What perfume do you use?
You're dead today.
That passionate love of yours...
I'll help make it come true.
Do you have plans this weekend?
You come first, Ms. Kang.
Just remember that you owe me.
Did you dump me for Yu Ji-hyuk? That crazy old fart.
I won't just take it anymore.
