(Operating Room)
December 23, 2019, 9 a.m.
Recipient Seol Yu Gyeong, donor Jung Hye Soo.
We'll begin the kidney transplant.
(Episode 28)
(Managing Director Yoo In Ha)
Oh, well.
I had fun while I was at it.
What do you think, Ms. Seol? Does this seat suit me?
Quite. You look like a managing director, temporary as it was.
Well...
It shines, now that its owner is back.
You recovered your health and came back.
I'm pleased. Congratulations.
Thank you, Director Yoo In Ha.
(Managing Director Seol Yu Gyeong)
It's really odd. I thought I'd be different.
Sitting there...
felt cozy and safe like it was my place from the start.
Do you think it was yours in your previous life?
Yes. It was that exact feel.
- That's good to hear. - How so?
I'm back strong and healthy and I was afraid I'd be bored.
My old student is fired up and willing to fight.
It'll make work enjoyable.
Work hard.
Ms. Jung, you did a great thing.
- I respect you as a person. - Me too.
- And me as well. - Can you not do this?
All of you here would've done the same...
if you were a match.
They couldn't have, ever.
Hello, sir.
Welcome back, Intern Jung.
No, Designer Jung.
What?
The intern whose design is selected as the next season's main design...
is promoted to a full-time employee. Did you forget that clause?
We almost lost a real gem.
I expect a lot from you, Designer Jung.
I'll do my best.
Congratulations, with all my heart.
Thanks, Sun Mi. You'll get there too.
I'll work hard, with you as my model.
- Wish me luck. - Good luck.
Welcome.
Congratulations, Designer Jung Hye Soo.
Thank you for saving my mom's life.
I mean it.
It was Ms. Seol, not just some stranger.
Still, it wasn't obligatory.
She's not your biological mom.
It was worth going on my knees for.
Of all that I'd seen you do,
it was the most honest.
What is it? Do you have regrets?
I can't believe I'll have to kneel to you again to...
Never mind.
I don't want my Sarang to know...
I can't control my emotions.
When's the wedding?
What?
Do you think I'll have my baby without getting married first, like you?
That'll never happen.
(Managing Director Seol Yu Gyeong)
Do you feel sick or uncomfortable?
Are you all right? Should you be working already?
I was sick and am slowly recovering.
You lost one of two perfectly fine kidneys.
You should put yourself first.
I'm fine.
You saved my life twice.
If previous lives were a thing,
you and I would be connected.
I guess I owed you a lot.
If previous lives were a thing,
I'm sure you'd have saved me twice.
If previous lives were a thing, you might've been my daughter.
I might've been your daughter in our previous lives.
I want you to study some more.
Go abroad. You must polish your talent.
This could be viewed as a reciprocal gift.
The company will fund you, not me.
It's the reward for designing our next season's main look.
This is what we do for designers who will lead us into the future.
I'll think about it. Give me some time.
Is it because of Han Byeol?
I don't see her much as it is.
I'm not sure if either of us can stand it much more.
I'm not that confident, to tell you the truth.
Once Han Byeol starts elementary school,
you won't see her often even if you're here.
If you steel yourself, take the plunge, and improve your skill,
she'll have grown up while you're gone.
Being apart doesn't mean she's no longer your daughter.
Once Ji Ho and Se Young marry,
they'll raise Han Byeol well, won't they?
They will.
My wife's recovered...
and Se Young will begin to show soon.
It's time you two got married.
Why won't the chairwoman say anything?
The sly old snake.
Focus on the positives.
I'll prepare a nice wedding gift.
Something other than the grandchild Se Young's carrying?
Father.
I'll make you the next public prosecutor general.
You have the Lee Chang Woo recording, don't you?
You took a five-million-dollar bribe from Cheonha Group.
I can take you off the list.
Send me that.
I'll wrap it up nicely for you.
Your voice is here too.
Fight to die and you live. Fight to live and you die.
Because of you, I became a fan of Admiral Yi too.
Paint me a nice picture, then.
I just happened to have lunch plans with him today.
I must guard my facial expressions.
- You should join us. - I have plans.
I'm eating at Yusimwon.
With Se Young?
Yes. The chairwoman asked to see us both.
Is she going to let you marry?
The cogs are finally turning as if they're well-oiled.
Here.
Is there anything you want to eat?
I'm craving cold foods.
- Like ice cream? - Yes.
- And meat? - Yes.
Stuff you rarely ate before you were pregnant?
Yes.
Then your baby will have three legs.
Mom!
You were just like that.
When I was six months pregnant with you, I craved galbi so much.
The landlady took one look and said...
"He'll have three legs."
It would be nice to have a boy that takes after Ji Ho.
Where will you live once you're married?
We must get permission first.
She's ready to see you.
Let's go.
They're my son and daughter-in-law,
so why are they asking permission from her?
The baby must have grown a lot.
Yes. Ji Ho even gave it a nickname.
- It's "Sarang." - Okay.
Because it's the result of your love?
Yes. So, Grandma.
We'd like to get married before Se Young's belly gets too big.
People will talk.
You care about what people say,
and you took your half-brother and best friend's fiancée...
and got her pregnant?
What's the point of talking about the past?
Your great-grandchild is growing in her belly.
Not letting us get married...
would insult you even more.
How do we know it's of my blood?
Grandma.
Ma'am. How could you say such a thing?
Se Young.
You were always the topic of much gossip even when...
you were engaged to In Ha.
So how am I to believe your baby is Ji Ho's?
Grandma!
Do you believe her?
I gave up many things to win Ji Ho.
I feel insulted that you even suggest...
it's not his.
We'll know when we test its DNA after it's born...
if it's Ji Ho's baby or not.
We must get married before the baby's born.
She might find out I'm not actually her grandson.
- Let's go. - Ji Ho.
Stand up.
Don't do this. We didn't wait to do this.
Ma'am. We'll wait.
I can wait until the baby's born.
He's just upset and...
Ji Ho!
Go on. Shouldn't you go after him?
You said you'd wait until the baby's born?
Come back then.
Hey. Don't they say love knows no bounds?
Romeo and Juliet fell in love even though they were enemies.
That's why it ended in tragedy.
I'm fine with it.
Whether Hye Soo had a common-law marriage with Ji Ho,
or had his daughter, but...
Hye Soo's daughter Han Byeol's dad is my half-brother from another mother,
and my ex-fiancée's husband.
It's too complicated.
You're antsy because you want to get into something that complicated,
and I think there's no way Hye Soo will want to.
I don't care if I get hurt.
As long as Hye Soo doesn't get hurt again.
If she won't give in at first,
I'll keep trying, 20 times or 100 times.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Freeze.
Put that down.
You just had surgery.
You must be careful for a while.
Drink water instead.
I should, right?
Do you have plans after work?
No.
I'll text you the time and address.
Come over immediately after work.
It's important. Very.
Sorry. I was passing by.
Did I just walk into his chest or a slab of steel?
Shall I try that again?
He does seem quite fit.
What's going on? You're complimenting him?
What?
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
Always fool me
This is the moment
This is the day
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way
"Just how much I like you,"
"you don't have to know."
"The feelings I have for you are mine alone,"
"and my yearning for you is overflowing enough already."
"I can now like you even without you."
Dinner's ready and they're not home yet.
Did the chairwoman not give permission?
In Ha's still single so she'll be reluctant to marry Ji Ho first.
She can't wait forever.
What about Se Young's advancing pregnancy?
She's the only child of the head of a prosecutors' office,
and must I have people whispering she had a baby first?
When she's marrying my direct subordinate?
We should come up with a plan soon.
How?
It would help if In Ha were seeing someone.
We must make it seem like that.
He seems to have feelings for Jung Hye Soo.
In Ha was born with a diamond spoon in his mouth.
He's not like Hye Soo.
What he feels could be just fleeting pity.
Hye Soo is a sweet person. She's nice.
Se Young says she'll have dinner with Ji Ho.
She could've called ahead, then.
She made you waste your energy for nothing.
It's not a waste.
It's nice to eat with you in private for once.
I feel the same.
Eat your dinner.
Hey. What are you doing here?
I was waiting for you. Come with me.
Where's the director?
It's a lovely evening.
What got into you?
I look around
The landscape seems different
There's a path I've never taken before
We walk along in silence
My hand is shaking
You hold it
You look at me with your heart
She might be upset. She'll have prepared dinner.
It's better than frowning around them.
You should eat something nice and cheer up.
I'm sorry but we're not open today.
Someone rented out the whole restaurant.
It's rented out?
Lee Kyung Won.
Se Young.
Is In Ha doing something here? He rented the whole restaurant for it?
Is he proposing?
What?
It can't be.
Slowly, slowly, follow me
Hold on tight to my hand and stay close to me and walk
A cobbled road is fine, a road lined with flowers is even better
Let's see each other for a long time
A long time
It wasn't easy to stand before you, Hye Soo.
For us to get together,
things are honestly complicated.
I thought a lot about it and...
I made up my mind.
I like you a lot, Hye Soo.
No way. Is it really Hye Soo?
Ji Ho.
What's the matter?
Are you angry that In Ha proposed to Hye Soo?
Why do you look so offended?
I was flustered, that's all. It was so unexpected.
Han Byeol might remain your daughter even if the world turns upside-down.
But did you think Hye Soo would be yours forever?
That's enough, Se Young.
If you got sick of being married to me,
were you going to go back to her?
- To look back on your past? - I said that's enough!
Sorry. That must've scared Sarang.
No alcohol.
A couple of glasses of wine is okay.
Wine is alcohol too.
Don't drink.
Let's think about this with a cool head.
Is In Ha...
really going to marry Hye Soo?
It can't be.
If that's not it, why would he rent a whole restaurant to propose?
The chairwoman wants to marry off In Ha first.
We're to wait until you give birth.
This is not the time to whine about jealousy.
Depending on what Hye Soo decides,
she could become In Ha's wife first.
She might end up claiming her right to Cheonha before we do.
No. That can never happen!
You really didn't know?
Are you absolutely sure about how you feel?
I am, which is why I set this up.
Why did you make things so complicated and difficult?
What's important now is how I feel and how you feel.
I'm not yet ready to accept any...
Don't answer just yet.
Think about it for a few days.
Forget all about Ji Ho, Se Young, and Han Byeol.
Right now, I want you to focus only on how you feel.
How you think about me.
You might not think of me as a date,
but is there a possibility you could?
If there is, we can tackle the other problems one by one.
Tonight, I want you to think only about us.
Let's talk.
He sang for her? In a restaurant he rented out?
In Ha's not fooling around. He's serious.
He's just confusing...
love and pity.
What's the difference?
Whether it's love or pity, he wants to be with her.
No. In Ha wants to marry her.
What about Hye Soo?
I don't know. We left before we could hear her answer.
She'll never be able to say yes.
How are you so sure?
Even when my life was at stake,
she refused to let us adopt her.
She said she couldn't make Han Byeol call her "Auntie."
Would she marry In Ha...
so that Han Byeol has two dads?
What if they marry despite that?
In Ha's proposal.
How did it feel?
I saw you. Se Young did too.
You must've been flustered.
You can't have known he felt that way.
If you're going to refuse,
it's best to make it clear the first time.
So as not to cause trouble later on.
Why would I refuse?
- What? - Why do you think I'll refuse?
- Hye Soo. - Can't I date someone like In Ha?
Why not?
Because he's Se Young's ex-fiancé? So what?
Se Young's pregnant with the child of a man I had a common-law marriage with.
Who says I can't date In Ha?
It wouldn't be bad to get married before you do.
Isn't that a great form of revenge?
Why would you say something so out of character?
I think In Ha's a very charming guy.
I'm considering having a serious relationship with him.
Jung Hye Soo.
Despite all that,
what if Hye Soo decides to marry In Ha?
We must prevent it, whatever it takes.
How?
Don't you remember?
The intern's reward for designing the main look.
They're made a full-time designer and get sent to New York to do research.
We have enough cause to send her abroad to study.
Goodness. This is the dress I gave Hye Soo.
She kept this?
What's this?
You're so pretty, Mi So.
My goodness. This is...
She said she'd lost it. She must've found it.
Why is she keeping this precious thing hidden?
I almost threw it out.
(Game of Witches)
Don't you feel wronged? Revenge. Let's go for it.
Why do you waver when you look at Hye Soo?
Do you not trust Ji Ho?
He betrayed a woman once. He can again.
I won't allow Se Young to be insulted any longer.
I'll make her give up on marrying Ji Ho.
Let's break the engagement.
