Scent of a Woman
Episode 10
So is this your revenge?
Is this it?
Seducing Kang Ji Wook and breaking up our engagement.
Is that your revenge?
It's unfortunate, but that's not it.
How long do you think he'll date a girl like you?
Either way, everyone marries their own kind.
Then what of you? You'll be tossed aside.
- It doesn't matter. - What?
I'm not going to fret over what doesn't happen.
I don't care about a few months later.
What's most important is my feelings right now, today.
If Kang Ji Wook wants to see me, then I'll see him.
Because I miss him, too.
Are you saying you won't stop?
What to do?
I don't want to lose him to other women, especially to a woman like you.
I'm not going to let things go just like this.
Just wait.
My patient list is dwindling, but I don't see your name on it.
If you'd asked for the appointment to be pushed back two days,
shouldn't you be here by today?
What the heck are you doing that you don't come to receive treatment?
What's more important to you right now than getting treatment?
Eun Seok.
I'm in pain.
Where are you now?
Her blood pressure's too low.
Yeon Jae.
Lee Yeon Jae, wake up. Yeon Jae!
Eun Seok.
I don't think...
...it's constipation this time.
How can you joke at a time like this?
Yeon Jae.
Move her quickly! Hurry! Hurry!
Thank you.
- How's your condition? - I'm fine.
They said I can check out day after tomorrow.
Dad.
Yeah.
I know you're putting pressure on Line Tour because of Kang Ji Wook. Please stop.
By any chance, did Ji Wook ask you for help?
No.
Please leave anything regarding Ji Wook to me.
I'll decide whether to loosen or tighten the noose.
So what's your plan?
Not sure.
What do you think?
It's sepsis resulting from cholecystitis.
Doctor, the tumor has gotten bigger.
[Kang Ji Wook]
Your call is being transferred to voicemail.
[Kang Ji Wook]
What's going on, not answering the phone? Making me worried.
Did you get home safely?
Are you listening?
Lee Yeon Jae is unable to answer the phone.
Who is this?
Perhaps... her doctor friend?
Why are you answering her phone?
Lee Yeon Jae isn't able to answer the phone now.
Speak with her later.
Hello. Hello!
The phone has been turned off. Your call will be transferred to voicemail.
Do you feel more alert?
Yes.
Were you having a good dream?
Yes.
But...
why did I become like that so suddenly?
Your gallbladder has an infection,
which has made the sepsis worse.
Until the fever drops, you'll keep receiving antibiotics.
Ahhh... it's a relief.
Relief?
You can't participate in the clinical trials because you skipped your treatment.
And your condition is far worse because of the sepsis.
We don't even know whether you can receive the second round of chemotherapy.
Come to your senses. I don't know what you're doing with your life these days,
but don't push back your treatment again. Also, tell your mother immediately.
I'll handle that as I see fit.
How long do you think you can keep it a secret from the people around you?
How can I tell her?
"Mom."
"Your daughter's going to die soon."
How can I say that?
If it were you,
would you be able to say something like that?
I don't want them to know yet.
Once it's known, everyone will become despondent.
So,
you're going to endure it on your own?
If things get as bad as yesterday, you need to have someone by your side.
I have you.
When I'm in pain, you'll be here.
That's true...
...since I'm your doctor.
Oh.
That man called yesterday.
[Lim Se Kyung]
Yes.
My father is being released from the hospital today.
I'm letting you know because I think it would be nice if you could come.
I doubt he would want to see my face.
Later. When the day that I can see him easily comes, I will see him then...
...although I'm not sure if that day will ever come.
All right.
Right, and tell him that I'm very grateful.
For what?
I'm sure he'll know if you relay the message.
[Wando Island Tour]
Difficult.
[Kang Ji Wook x 100]
[Kang Ji Wook]
[Wando Island Tour... ??]
[Wando Island PT]
What happened to you?
Do you know how many times I called?
I'm sorry. Something came up.
Why did that man answer the phone?
Why would you be meeting him so late at night?
And, if you couldn't answer the phone,
how is it that he could answer for you?
Because I'm at the hospital.
Hospital?
Are you hurt?
I knew it.
Is it bad?
Did you have to stay overnight?
It's not like that.
My mom wasn't feeling too well, so I brought her to the hospital.
How is she now? Is she better?
Yes, they said she's fine. No need to worry.
Then... let's have dinner later.
Erm... today isn't very good.
- Why? - I'm going to play hard to get also.
I need to keep myself at a distance so that you'll miss me more.
Work. Work!
I thought there were some problems at work.
The General Manager shouldn't be playing at a time like this.
All right.
But, no matter what happens, please don't ignore my phone calls.
It really makes me crazy.
OK.
All right.
Bye.
I'm sorry for causing angst to the company.
Hmph.
I hope you'll know my father did all that because he didn't want to lose Ji Wook.
- Call Ji Wook. - Yes.
No, it's all right. I came today because I wanted to speak with you.
I wish to be alone with you.
- You can go out. - Yes.
Well, what is it you want to tell me?
It's about Ji Wook.
What?
I'm being discharged today.
I know.
Eun Seok, how do I look?
I have to go home, but I'm worried that I might look sick.
Is my lipstick too thick?
No.
Good.
I'm sorry for causing trouble.
From now on, I won't miss a treatment ever again,
and I'll listen to everything you say.
OK?
Why did you have to sleep at Hye Won's place two nights straight?
Nothing much.
Is something up with her?
It looked like she was crying the other day.
Uhh... really?
The two of you are suspicious these days.
Oh yeah, I have some good news. Come in. Hurry.
What? What is it?
Look at this.
This branch we planted the other day,
I think it's rooted into the soil.
Look, there's a leaf forming. See it?
It is!
- Wow! It's cute. - I know.
I think something good is going to happen to us.
As you can see,
the Wando package will focus on Wando's outstanding scenery
and specialty local cuisine.
We'll provide a well-being and trendy experience,
as well as one that will appeal to the travel enthusiast.
We expect the package to be a robust and profitable one.
Thank you.
It's not too bad.
I agree with the president.
Go ahead and create a marketing plan.
[Lee Yeon Jae]
You must be telepathic.
I was just about to call you.
I have something to give you.
Do you have time tonight?
Well...
Today's...
...perfect.
You must be in a good mood.
What are you going to make?
Ikasumi yakisoba.
Squid ink spaghetti
We didn't buy any squid.
Then... just vegetable fried rice.
I'm...
curious about one thing.
You know,
that hill you were looking for.
Why are you looking for it?
A long time ago, my mom and I hid something there.
I really want to find it, but it hasn't been easy.
Ouch!
What, why?
Did you cut yourself?
Why?
What?
Blow.
Uh, blow?
What's this?
It hurts.
Hurts?
Goodness... blow?
Blow.
Did you break off the engagement
because of this woman?
You broke off the engagement for a no good woman who used to work under you?
Are you insane?
Even if you wanted to play house,
you should at least play with someone that makes sense.
While you were doing this, do you know what Se Kyung did?
She convinced Chairman Lim
to not make things more difficult for the company.
She's thinking of you even after being dumped.
And you're going around with a woman like this?
With a woman who doesn't amount to anything?
- Stop it. - What?
No matter what you say, I'm going to see this woman.
Huh! Fine.
You can see her as much as you want.
But you'll have to marry Se Kyung.
Why are you speaking such nonsense?
Miss, you're not expecting to marry Ji Wook, are you?
You're too old to be having such fantasies.
If the two of you insist on seeing each other,
make sure Se Kyung doesn't know about it.
I'm sure the two of you won't last long anyway.
I heard that a hydrangea has pretty flowers after a cold winter.
Also, it requires a lot of water.
So, give it water often.
All right?
If I had known, I would have brought a more magnificent gift.
It's magnificent enough.
Where should I put this?
It looks good here.
I'm sorry.
Really...
...sorry.
Don't have any bad thoughts
because of my father.
What are you doing here so early?
What do you think you're doing?
What do you mean?
Why did you stop Chairman Lim?
Oh.
Because I wanted to help you.
I don't understand.
I broke off our engagement and told you I have no intention of getting married.
But you still want to help?
You told me to live my life,
so I'm planning on living my life regardless of my father's wishes.
What does that have to do with this?
Because I haven't given up on you yet.
I'll see you later.
We might not see each other for personal reasons,
but we'll have a lot of opportunity to see each other professionally.
You broke off the engagement for a no good woman who used to work under you?
Are you insane?
[Beautiful places throughout the country]
A long time ago, my mom and I hid something there.
I really want to find it, but it hasn't been easy.
Hello.
I want to ask a question.
What's going on, driving me around?
Could it be... you found the hill?
I wanted to do something...
...for you, Kang Ji Wook.
I've been looking for it for over 10 years without any luck.
Do you think you've found it in such a short amount of time?
I worked in the Arrangements Team for over 10 years.
Trust me for once.
The grade school nearby is now gone.
Also, there was a landslide about 7 years ago, so the geography has changed a bit.
But...
that tree over there...
...is the zelkova.
I heard it's about 200 years old.
Push.
When you turn 20 years old, let's come back and look for it.
OK.
This is the right place?
We found it?
While we were burying this,
I made a promise with my mom
that I would come and find it when I turned 20.
But...
I wasn't able to keep that promise.
I had forgotten the location,
and my mom who could remember it
was no longer around.
Our Ji Wook,
by the time you read this letter,
I'm sure you'll be much better looking.
I'm sure Mom is much older now.
Have you fallen in love yet?
I wish you were here with that person to read this letter.
I'm happy just imagining it.
Ji Wook.
Don't hate Dad too much.
Dad is making sacrifices for our family.
I still love your dad this moment...
...and Ji Wook, you too.
We had to move around a lot because of our debt.
Mom would make money by working on people's fields.
But still...
we had to worry about every meal.
We didn't even have a way to contact my father.
I really really hated my father.
After not contacting us for three years,
he showed up all of a sudden to retrieve us.
He brought us to a big apartment in Kangnam.
I...
...thought we would be happy.
However, we were not.
Father would use business as an excuse not to come home.
Mom and I were always alone.
One day, Mom wanted to go shopping together.
I was playing a game, so I said I didn't want to, and got annoyed at her.
That's the last thing I said to her.
It was a car accident.
I never told her I loved her.
Mom was gone just like that.
I never want to let someone go like that again.
How's green tea?
Why are you so surprised?
I wasn't surprised.
You look a little pale.
I shouldn't have asked you to drive.
I know...
I am a little tired.
Excuse me... I have to go to the bathroom.
I'll be back soon.
[Yeon Jae's Bucket list - 20 Things to do before I die...]
[1. Make my mother laugh every day...]
[2. Seek revenge on those who tortured me...]
[3. Learn the tango!]
[8. Live like a heroine from a film for one day!]
So she hasn't done that yet.
I was in pain for most of the night.
The pain killers aren't working.
I'll prescribe a different one for you.
The sepsis is all healed,
but my body isn't the same as it was.
It feels so ominous.
Have...
...things gotten worse?
Just tell me the truth.
Are things worse?
The size of the tumor...
...has gotten bigger,
so the pain is getting worse.
So then,
what happens with me?
First,
we'll come up with a different treatment plan.
Can I live five months?
I'm asking if I'll live five months?
What have I been telling you?
Treatment is the most important thing.
There's nothing more important to you than receiving treatment, don't you understand?
I have to dry this while the old man is out.
I hate listening to him nag.
Omo, you're home.
Yes, Mom.
It's almost fall.
Then it will be winter.
And we'll be a year older.
Why does time fly by so quickly?
Mom.
Why?
When you heard about Dad's cancer, how did you feel?
Why are you asking when you already know?
I'm sure you felt different from me.
It was horrifying.
Knowing when someone you love will die is truly horrifying.
My blood curdled a little bit every day.
It was like a nail was slowly being hammered into a beating heart.
This is ridiculous to say, but you'd better meet someone healthy.
You should live happy for a long long time.
Right?
Mom, I'll be back in a little while.
You're going out again?
I forgot something.
How she remembers anything, I don't know.
Oh, "Pretty Woman".
When Richard Gere buys her clothes and pays with his credit card...
...every woman's fantasy.
"Gloomy Sunday".
"I'd rather have half of you than lose all of you",
and two men will fall in love with me at the same time.
It feels good just thinking about it.
- That's not... - But why...
...are you asking this?
Just because I thought it might help with creating a tour package
I never told her I loved her.
Mom was gone just like that.
Miss!
How many times do I have to tell you that it's the final stop?
Aren't you getting off?
Hye Won.
- What's wrong? - I'm so miserable!
What happened?
I...
...received a proposal from my last blind date.
Isn't that a good thing?
I found out later that his family is way too poor.
His whole family lives together in the tiniest apartment.
Also, his salary is the pits.
Then you can refuse.
Do you think that's easy?
It's the first proposal I've ever received in my life.
I may never meet someone who likes me as much as him.
Then you can get married.
Lee Yeon Jae.
How can you be like that?
Do you think it's a joke because it's someone else's life?
Would you get married then?
Yes.
Honestly, you're not much to look at either.
You're old and your salary is just all right.
Isn't that right?
That's harsh.
You're meeting a man like General Manager,
and you're saying I should be satisfied with a man like that?
Why?
I feel envious of you.
Who cares if I'm meeting a man like General Manager?
There's nothing I can do.
I can't get married.
I can't have kids.
I can't dream about any future!
To a person like me, a dream like this...
...aren't you being too cruel?
Yeon Jae!
I'm sorry.
I wasn't thinking. I'm really sorry.
What am I going to do?
What am I going to do about him?
I must have been crazy.
When I can't do anything for him,
when I can't even be by his side,
I shouldn't have liked him.
I shouldn't have confessed my feelings.
I shouldn't have accepted his heart.
I wasn't thinking.
I liked him so much.
I didn't think about what would happen to him once I died.
What do I do now?
Yeon Jae.
Yeon Jae!
Your body can come in.
What?
What are you doing here?
Can you save me?
Can you please save me?
You're a doctor.
I want to live, Eun Seok... want to live, Eun Seok.
Please.
Please help, please.
Eun Seok.
Please...
I...
What do I do?
Please save me.
Please, Eun Seok.
Eun Seok. Eun Seok.
Please save me.
What do I do?
We're here.
Are you OK?
Yes.
How about you tell him the truth?
Don't you think he should know?
No, it's better he doesn't know.
In the end, we'll break up anyway.
Lee Yeon Jae...
Thanks for driving me home.
I'll see you tomorrow at the hospital.
I never want to let someone go like that again.
Hello.
Do you...
have time tomorrow?
Umm...
I'm sorry, but...
...of course I have time.
Why?
So we can go on a date.
Sounds good.
Let's do that.
OK.
See you tomorrow.
I have a present.
What is it?
Me!
Get in.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
- Aigoo! - Oh!
Oh no! What to do...
What's this?
I tripped on a rock. I'm sorry.
You'll need to buy something new.
My girlfriend's dress got ruined while eating ice cream.
So I'm planning on buying her clothes.
Lots and lots of it.
Please have a seat.
Why did you buy only one outfit?
One is enough.
Umm...
I have something to tell you.
Hold on.
The dress is...
It's...
Aigoo.
Are you all right?
I should buy them, right?
You can give me all of them.
Kang Ji Wook.
I...
I really have...
I have something to say.
I'm sorry, but can you tell me later?
Wait here for a second. Just a second.
I...
Patient Lee Yeon Jae isn't here yet, right?
She'll be here soon. You can leave first.
OK.
We're here.
Please start in two minutes.
You like Junsu's song, don't you?
From this moment, something awesome is going to happen.
Right now I am crying as I look into your eyes
I'm crying as I look into your heart
Even the sardonic smile that comes from bitterness
I want to keep it in my heart
All the foolish, pretty dreams
All the thoughtless actions
Did you...
...prepare all these?
You knew?
From a while ago.
Come into my heart
Even your burning scars, seep in
(Forever you) You are so wonderful
I will erase your aching love, your tears and your painful scars
I love you, I love you
I want to live with memories of you
I remembered...
...this ring.
When I was young,
I wanted to give this to the woman I fell in love with.
So I put it in the time capsule.
I think I've found its owner.
Please stay next to me for a long, long time.
I don't think I can accept it.
Why?
Kang Ji Wook, I don't want to see you anymore.
Why are you being like this all of a sudden?
- Could my father... - Yes.
It really got under my skin.
I've never been so insulted in my life.
I didn't think I want to keep seeing you while being insulted like that.
This is what you wanted to tell me?
Yes.
Don't you think your timing is a bit cruel?
I'm sure it would be cruel at any time.
I'm not going to feel bad about it.
You're the one who said you broke off the engagement not because of me,
but because of you.
Sit down.
I can convince my father.
- You don't need to do that. - Lee Yeon Jae!
I don't want to see you anymore, Kang Ji Wook.
I must have made you upset in some way.
I don't know what it is,
but I'll apologize. I'm sorry.
All right.
Go home and rest today.
Let's talk again tomorrow.
No. I don't want to.
When I miss you, always be together
When I'm happy, always laugh together
Korean Medical Center.
Don't cry so sadly
Always be with me and look at me only
Always, like this
This tragic love
Even this very moment, I will guard it
Are you all right?
I hate myself.
I really hate that I have cancer.
I hate that I've become like this. I hate that I can't even fall in love.
It's driving me crazy.
You call cannot be connected and will be transferred to voicemail.
Oh my goodness.
I'm sorry.
Are you looking for someone?
The grandpa?
No. I'm looking for Lee Yeon Jae.
I'm Yeon Jae's mother.
Oh.
Is Lee Yeon Jae at home?
No, she went away on a business trip.
- Business trip? - Yes.
Um.
Who...
It's OK. I'll come back next time.
If someone like that was Yeon Jae's spouse,
how great that would be.
How about budae jjigae* (*stew)?
Oh yes.
Director,
I have lunch plans.
Did you give an assignment to Lee Yeon Jae?
No. I didn't.
I see.
- Yoo Hye Won. - Yes?
Do you know where Lee Yeon Jae is?
No.
I haven't spoken to her recently.
I'm going to head out now.
General Manager just asked about you.
I was so nervous, I thought I was going to die.
Yeon Jae, how are you feeling?
Are you in pain?
All right. I'm leaving now.
[Lee Yeon Jae]
Kang Ji Wook.
The Lee Yeon Jae here...
...is she the Lee Yeon Jae that I know?
