(Episode 19)
What? Is that Dr. Chae U Ri?
Is that his girlfriend?
Hey, Hyun Sung.
I don't really like this place. Let's go somewhere else.
Why? This place seems all right.
Let's just go somewhere else.
Dr. Chae.
Come on. Let's get out of here.
Why?
That was Dr. Jin and her manager just now, right?
Yes, I think so.
Her manager and also...
I think he's her boyfriend, not her manager.
Oh, look at you.
You're not crying anymore.
Thank goodness.
I thought there was something wrong with your tear glands.
I was worried.
Are you all right now?
Your parents want to meet me?
Yes. No pressure though.
They just want to meet you, casually.
What do you say?
Well, it's just a little too sudden for me.
I see.
You can meet them later on when you're up for it,
so just let me know.
Okay, I will do that.
All right.
But before that,
there's something I need to tell you about my parents.
Once you hear it,
you might get upset or be disappointed in me.
What do you mean?
Well...
Just like how I didn't give you a heads-up...
about joining the hospital,
I should've told you about my parents long ago...
but just couldn't bring it up.
Hyun Sung.
Back in my undergraduate days,
do you know...
what I appreciated the most while dating you?
You never once...
asked me about my family or my parents.
It's the first thing people ask...
when they get to know someone better.
I don't care what kind of people your parents are...
or if your family has complicated problems...
because it has nothing to do with us and our relationship.
We started dating because we liked each other.
So you don't need to confess anything to me.
All right, I understand what you're trying to tell me.
Anyway, are you really okay?
You look like you're worried about something.
Oh, it was stressful to tell them I wanted to drop all the shows,
so I'm quite tired today.
Hyun Sung.
You had to work all day, so you must be tired too.
Let's just part ways here today.
What are you talking about?
I must do my job as your manager.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
Come on.
Was it Dr. Jin Su Ji?
I don't know how things get done at broadcasting stations,
so I can't jump to conclusions here.
But it's not like they've officially notified you,
so don't be so devastated as if everything's over for you.
Tomorrow,
find out who made such a decision...
and who got the position.
I believe that's the first thing you need to do.
Anyone with common sense...
wouldn't make such a reckless decision...
to change their choice at the last minute.
Thank you, Dr. Chae.
What? For what?
For listening to me,
comforting me,
and giving me hope.
I gave you hope? What do you mean?
Oh, right. When we were talking on the phone,
you said you had something to tell me.
No.
It can wait until you get your situation...
all sorted out.
I guess Jang Soo is coming home late again.
He probably has to work all night at the office again.
Dad's really busy these days.
Nice! One sold.
What? What sold?
I listed a few things I never use on a secondhand-selling site,
and I finally sold one of them.
I need to sell these headphones to make some money,
but no one wants to buy them.
You said you really needed those headphones,
so your dad got them for you as a gift.
That's right. I really need them.
But in this situation...
"In this situation?"
What do you mean by that?
It's nothing, Grandma.
Don't mind me.
I swear, it was her.
Was I seeing things?
Wake up!
Hey, what is it?
Yoon Ja, what's the matter with you today?
You've been looking spaced out all day.
Grandma's right. You've been acting strange...
since we got back from grocery shopping.
Me?
Why? What did I do?
Mother, you can't afford to be in a daze right now.
You need to stay frosty.
Gosh, I'm worried.
A big storm is coming soon.
Wait, Mother.
I think I saw someone...
when I went grocery shopping earlier.
Who?
Soo Kyung's mother.
What? Is that...
Is that really true?
What's wrong? Grandma, what happened?
Do you need some calming pills?
Gosh, calming pills? No, I'm okay.
Yoon Ja, let's talk in the room.
Okay.
How come they're getting along so well today?
Yoon Ja, what do you mean?
You saw Soo Kyung's mother? Are you sure?
Well, I saw her from afar, so I'm not too sure.
But that woman looked so much like her.
It was almost 30 years ago,
so I could've been mistaken, but...
So you aren't sure.
That's right.
I wanted to follow her to see if it really was her,
but Do Young dragged me along, saying we should rush home.
How did she look?
Did she look like she'd been doing well?
She just looked like an ordinary woman.
She didn't seem well-off based on what she was wearing,
but she stood out even from afar.
Sun Young is tall and good-looking, you know.
My goodness.
She has no family or relatives.
She asked us to look after Soo Kyung for just two weeks and left.
Then I didn't hear a word from her for 27 years,
so I thought she died long ago.
Where did you see her?
Earlier, you said you were going...
to a store in a different area because of their steep discounts.
Why do you want to know where I saw her?
Mother, don't tell me you still want her to come back.
Nonsense.
If that woman you saw really is Soo Kyung's mother,
I will never forgive her.
She's alive and well,
- but she has never once... - Goodness.
I shouldn't have brought this up.
If she really was Soo Kyung's mom,
would she have stayed quiet all these years?
Her daughter has become so famous now.
Whether it was the broadcasting station or the hospital,
she would've shown up to one or the other already.
That's what I mean.
Everyone in the country knows who her daughter is.
You should go to bed now, Mother.
You should just forget about...
what you heard from me today.
Excuse me, Mother.
Don't mention a word of this to Jang Soo, okay?
That heartless woman.
If only I could know whether she was alive or not.
Should I go back to that supermarket tomorrow?
No. It can't be her.
Right. It's not her. Never.
Anyhow, why haven't I heard from this man again?
I've been too lax on him, haven't I?
Is that you, Su Ji?
Hey, Dad. Are you on your way home from work?
Yes, that's right.
Why are you out here and not going inside?
I just had some stuff to think about.
Is something the matter?
Well, I had a lot of work today,
so I was just going over some of my thoughts.
Is something the matter with you, Dad?
You don't look so good.
Nothing's the matter.
I'm just busy. That's all.
I see.
You seem a bit off today.
Did something go wrong with the franchise business?
No.
Well, I just have a lot on my mind because of a business partner,
but gosh... It'll get resolved soon.
What about your business partner? Was there some kind of accident?
I told you it was no big deal. Well...
And if something actually does happen,
you shouldn't pay any attention to it.
Just keep being successful and live your own life.
Got it? That's all that matters.
I mean, as life goes on, all kinds of hardships...
may come your way.
But you should never get down on yourself.
Don't you worry about that. I'm good at enduring hardships.
Of course. You're my daughter, after all.
Let's go inside.
The night air is cold, and it's windy.
- Okay. - Right. Let's go.
Hang on.
Su Ji, why don't you head inside first?
I have to take this call for work.
Oh, okay. Come inside soon.
Of course.
Yes, sir.
Where?
Oh, yes. Got it. I'll be there right away.
Yes.
They say a beacon does not shine on its base.
Then, did he go to the recital last time...
with Dr. Jin as well?
Dr. Jin Su Ji?
All this time, why didn't I...
- You're home late. - Were you still up?
Are you just getting off work?
No, I was just meeting someone.
Have a seat. I have something to say.
Who were you meeting until this late at night?
I told you.
I'm dating someone.
I met her today...
and said we should officially meet and say hello.
So, have you settled on a date?
But maybe it was a little out of the blue.
She said she'd think about it.
I'll have her say hello soon.
All right. Let's do that.
What about your girlfriend?
Does she know...
that we're your parents?
No, not yet.
I haven't had a reason to tell her, so I didn't.
She hasn't asked about it either.
She doesn't even know who we are.
And you don't know who her parents are either?
Yes.
Why is it so important who her parents are?
If she's someone Hyun Sung likes,
there must be enough of a reason for him to do so.
You should head upstairs and rest. You must be tired.
All right. Have a good night.
What's the problem?
Is it because she might not be...
from a great family like you'd hoped for?
Wait, what are you talking about?
When did I ever hope for a great family?
Don't worry too much.
She'll be someone who doesn't stray too far from your expectations.
Do you perhaps...
know something?
Yes. I know my son well.
At least, I know that he won't date just anyone.
(The Courtyard House)
Oh, where's Uncle Woo Chang?
Is he still not back from the farm?
That's right. There's still no news from him.
He won't even take my calls.
What if he got into some kind of accident on his way home?
Come on. If he had gotten into an accident,
they would've called the house first.
You're worrying about nothing.
It's no big deal. You shouldn't worry.
Dad must be sick.
He didn't have any energy since yesterday...
when we went to jump rope together.
Wait. Come to think of it, you're right.
He was fine until he left to go to the park,
but he just went to the farm without eating any dinner.
You're all overreacting.
I'll bet anyone 50 cents...
that Uncle overslept.
Anyone want to bet against me?
Wait, 50 cents...
I'll wire you the money.
(Haedeul Hospital)
(Director of Haedeul Hospital, Han Jin Tae)
(Park Bok Sun, Jin Jang Soo, Jang Yoon Ja, Jin Su Ji)
(Diploma, Name: Jin Su Ji)
(Hankuk National University)
Yes?
Oh, Director Han.
Yes, I'll be up soon.
The reason I wanted to see you...
was because of what you said last time...
about stopping all TV appearances from now on.
Have you still not changed your mind about that?
No. I told the broadcasting company that I would stop...
all TV appearances at the end of this season.
From the hospital's perspective,
your external activities were a great help.
It's a shame.
I'm sorry.
From now on, I will focus more on my patients.
Of course.
There's nothing more important than that for a doctor.
By the way, Dr. Jin,
aren't you going to get married?
Pardon?
Well, you have reached a certain age,
and someone as successful as you...
must be quite a desirable bride for many men.
Are you perhaps seeing anyone?
Excuse my frankness, but I won't answer that question.
It's unrelated to my work.
Yes, well,
I must've made you uncomfortable with a useless question.
It's fine, Director.
If there's nothing more, may I get going now?
My patients will be here soon.
Of course. You should get going.
It seems like she doesn't know who I am yet.
Who?
Jin Su Ji?
That's right. It's Jin Su Ji.
I was told I was the finalist.
So why? Why, all of a sudden...
Why are you asking me?
That's the CEO's final decision.
Jin Su Ji already has a proven track record.
And with her, it's guaranteed that we'll get high ratings,
so why would we choose a rookie MC and take such a risk?
How could you do this?
Then why did you bother holding the audition?
How dare you.
You're just a reporter no one knows about.
Know your place!
This just makes no sense.
I worked so hard to get that position.
I was over the moon when I heard I got the position.
This is so unfair!
My goodness. What? "Unfair?"
If you think it's that unfair, go and take it up with the CEO!
(CEO)
Yes, sir.
I've informed the director of the program...
that Jin Su Ji will host the show,
so they'll contact her soon.
Mr. Kim, I want you to contact her yourself...
to get her on the show.
If we can't get her on the show,
it's all on you.
Yes, sir. I'll be sure to get her on the show.
Please reconsider one more time, sir.
I really am confident I can do a great job.
You saw me at the audition.
I've prepared so much.
I'm confident I can do a better job than everyone else.
Shall I call security?
Do you want to get dragged out?
My goodness.
Gosh, this is nuts.
Goodness.
Get out of here this instant!
Get out now!
(Chief Director of Variety Shows)
Someone's saying she doesn't want the job,
while this one is throwing a fit because she wants it.
Gosh, this is nuts.
Anyway, what can I do to persuade Jin Su Ji?
Jin Su Ji.
This is your fault.
It's all your fault.
Woo Chang, I'm here.
Are you still asleep?
Woo Chang.
My goodness. You have such a high fever.
Wake up. What happened, Woo Chang?
When did this happen?
Hold on. Let me call an ambulance.
Gosh, I'm fine.
You don't need to do that.
What are you talking about? You're burning up.
Seriously, I'm fine.
I know when I'm sick.
I'm really okay.
Gosh, what do I do?
Hold on.
Woo Chang.
I'll go pick up some medicine for you. Wait here.
(Psychiatry Center)
Is Dr. Jin Su Ji inside?
Na Young?
She's making rounds at the moment.
- What's up? - When will she be back?
Hey, I don't know what this is about,
but just talk to her at home if it's about a family matter.
You're at the hospital now.
Dr. Jin, let's talk.
All right, sure.
I'll go get changed. Give me a minute.
I do not have time to wait!
Hey, seriously. What's with you today?
This isn't your home.
You stay out of this!
My goodness. What is the matter with you?
All right. Come with me.
What?
Well...
Wasn't that Reporter Jin Na Young just now?
Yes, it was.
How come they seemed so tense?
Not sure.
Anyway, what's your relationship with Reporter Jin?
Pardon me?
Well, she's just an acquaintance of mine.
Why do you ask?
I was just curious.
I have to go to the ward.
Wait, Ms. Yoon.
What's with her? My goodness.
Gosh, I feel so stiff.
I asked you...
not to be a roadblock in my life.
- What did you say? - Who are you...
to make me feel defeated every single time?
Who do you think you are, making me miserable all the time?
If this is about the MC position, you got the wrong idea.
I didn't know they had me in mind for that position.
Do you expect me to believe that?
Whether you believe me or not is up to you.
I visited the broadcasting station earlier and told them...
I didn't want to do any TV shows from now on.
For "Mentality Counseling" too. I told them...
I didn't want to do another season after this.
And?
Did they let you go?
No, right?
I'm sure they begged you to stay,
and you'll take all the shows at the end of the day!
You need to calm down.
You're angry because you think it's unfair.
- I totally understand, but... - What do you understand?
Have you ever been in my situation?
No, never.
What do you understand when you have no idea what it's like?
I've decided not to appear on TV anymore.
I understand that you feel it's unfair,
but it's wrong to lash out at me like this.
It's because of you!
This is all because of you!
Why are you blaming this all on me?
Stop being so unreasonable.
"Unreasonable?"
Hey, they chose me after the audition.
But just before they announced the results,
my smart sister beat me once again...
and all my hard work went down the drain again.
- You're calling me unreasonable? - You are being unreasonable.
It's not like I wanted this to happen,
and I have no interest in accepting the offer,
so why are you lashing out at me?
You've always been like this.
When something didn't go your way,
you came to me to whine and took it out on me.
It's about time you changed, don't you think?
What did you say?
Please stop being so fixated on me...
and take a good look at yourself.
I know you feel insecure around me.
Let it go already.
What?
"Insecure?"
Yes, you are insecure.
My patience has reached its limit.
You've been treating me like your emotional dumpster,
and I refuse to be treated like that.
Who do you think you are?
You think you're so perfect, don't you?
What are you doing?
Don't you have something like that?
Something you don't want others to ever find out.
You have nothing like that?
How bad do you want me to look?
Woo Chang, do you really not know how I feel?
I've already explained why I had to do that.
I don't need you guys!
I have no family.
No one is on my side!
