Episode 17
I was worried to hear that you suddenly submitted your resignation letter.
You came all the way here to ask me that?
It's alright then since you seem fine.
Nam Da Jeong.
You...
Can you live without me?
I thought of what it would be like to live without seeing you.
And I also though, "Yes,
the time that I lived without knowing you is much longer than I've known you.
So it shouldn't be that hard."
But
thinking about the time ahead without meeting you...
I didn't feel confident.
If I haven't met you,
I wouldn't be afraid of the times, but
I'm not confident about the time and
really afraid of it.
I missed you.
Mom.
I know that ahjumma.
Ahjumma!
Ahjumma, what are you doing here?
Well...
Oppa, that Ahjumma
looks alike our Mom.
What are you talking about? Who looks like whom?
And our Mom is dead.
If our Mom were alive, she would never have stayed still.
She would've come for us way earlier.
Man Se, let's go.
You can just go.
Since I'm here already, I should say hello to your Dad.
Wait, I should've bought something. I came with empty hands.
It's okay. You can go like that.
Dad would be very happy if he finds that you're here.
Dad, Prime Minister came.
Father-in-law.
Is he asleep already?
Dad.
Let him sleep. I'll just leave.
Since you came all the way here...
Dad, wake up for a minute.
Prime Minister's here.
Father-in-law.
Dad.
D... Dad.
Father-in-law.
Doctor, Doctor, please save my Dad!
My dad is weird.
By the way, the Ahjumma we met before,
does she look so much like our Mom?
Yeah, she looks really the same.
The same? Who looks the same?
Kwon Na Ra, do you even remember Mom?
Why do you think I don't remember? I remember exactly.
I remember she made me a red sweater
and braided my hair.
And she sang a song for me while playing the piano, I remember everything!
Why wouldn't I remember?
Someone remembers that well would say she looks the same?
She doesn't look like our Mom.
She really doesn't look alike. Not even as in a dream!
Why is he mad at me?
I don't have any memories of Mom.
It was good to find it early.
It seems his intracranial pressure went up high and gave him a shock while sleeping.
I did emergency treatment, so don't worry too much.
Yes...
Thank you.
Prime Minister, you should go now.
No.
I want to stay with you.
The kids are waiting, you should go home.
I told Ahjumoni that I might not be able to go home.
Will my Dad
be alright?
Sure, he'll be fine. Don't worry.
I better meet Woo Ri in person.
If I talk to him in person, wouldn't he meet you?
No need, Oppa.
Oppa.
I met my kids.
-What? -Ahgassi.
Where did you meet the kids? How?
Woo Ri was...
He saw me
and said like he wants me to hear,
"Mom's dead."
Oh, Ahgassi.
"If Mom's alive,
she would have come to see us," he said.
Oppa.
I had nothing to say.
From the start, do you think they would have just welcomed you because you're their mom?
Did you try to meet them without expecting this?
Why are you mad at Ahgassi?
How can I not be mad at her?
Na Young, you. It's only a start. You can't be this weak already.
Unless you have a strong mind set, you can't ever go back to the way it was.
He's really...
Ahgassi, don't mind it.
He's just upset.
I know, Unnie.
But I...
I don't even dream about going back like to the old times.
I just...
I'm just thinking it would be nice if I can see my kids.
I wouldn't ask more.
What if Woo Ri hates me?
He wouldn't.
Woo Ri used to love his Mom so much...
Ahgassi,
Isn't it possible that Minister Kwon told us everything?
Even about Kang Soo Ho?
Father-in-law.
Dad.
Are you okay?
Can you recognize who I am?
Girl, are you kidding me?
Dad, you know who I am, right?
I'm relieved, Father-in-law.
I'm glad you're alright.
Wait, why is Son-in-law Kwon here? You should go to work.
I can go now, don't worry about it.
Aren't you too late?
No, I can go to official residence and change and then go right away.
You don't need to walk me out. Go inside.
Prime Minister.
Thank you.
Don't thank me.
He's my Father, too.
Prime Minister...
Eat well and think positively.
And don't cry in front of Father-in-law.
You know it, right?
Yes.
Okay then, I'll call you later.
Omo, you're up.
How are you feeling?
Doctor.
You don't call me "Honey" today.
Do you recognize me?
Yes, Doctor.
After sleeping well, it's been long that my head feels so clear.
Can I ask something of you, Doctor Na?
How many days
do I have left to live?
Not many days, right?
Because of you, I felt as if my life were shortened by ten years.
Right. Prime Minister told me that he's going to call me later.
If you leave lunch again,
I'll rat on you to your Son-in-law.
-Da Jeong. -Why?
I want to write a journal so give me a diary.
A diary?
You said you feel lazy to write journals, suddenly why?
The kids came yesterday and Son-in-law Kwon as well.
To not forget that, I should write it down.
Sure, Dad.
You're doing good.
Doctor said it's good for you to keep journals so do it well.
By the way, there was a pen hanging here. Where's the pen?
A pen?
Hold on.
This one.
What is this?
Oh, that? The kids put in there for your present.
They brought this as my present.
Ahjumma, come back soon.
Man Se is killing me.
Kids.
They don't have much pocket money.
Da Jeong, the physical therapist wants to see you.
Yes, I'll be there.
Dad, I'll be out for bit.
Aigoo, I asked for a pen.
Wait a minute.
What?
Co... Con... (Contract).
Woo Ri, I heard you came with Na Ra and Man Se yesterday.
Thank you for the necklaces
Dad, I'm back.
Dad.
Da Jeong.
What... What is this thing that is written here?
Dad.
What does "marrying by contract" mean?
And what does "The kid's dead Mom is alive" mean? Huh?
To what extent have you informed Woo Ri?
Did you talk to him all about Soo Ho?
What are you talking about?
I acted all nice when you told me to come back as kids' Mom,
but you told Woo Ri everything, right?
Did you meet Woo Ri?
I didn't say a thing.
Don't lie to me.
If that's not it, why would Woo Ri act like he doesn't know me?
You know that I'm not lying.
Even though you know that,
you're just anxious that
you wouldn't have his heart again.
Isn't that right?
I don't think time solves everything.
But for Woo Ri,
he needs time for now.
Bear it and wait a little longer.
I'm sorry.
I said something stupid.
I'm not going to bother you with this any more.
Na Young
I forgot to tell you something important.
Thank you for being alive.
When I saw you again, I wanted to tell you this.
Dad..
Da Jeong, you.
How can you do this?
How can you fool me completely like this?
I'm sorry, Dad.
I didn't mean to deceive you.
But,
I really love the Prime Minister this time.
Prime Minister loves me, too.
--So, Dad, --Da Jeong.
Is it all done if you two like each other?
Also, that the kids' mom was alive,
what about that, then?
-That's... -Why the hell did you do this?
Tell me. Tell me why you lied to people and
even to me. Why did you do this?
Why the hell did you do it? For what?
It's because of me?
Because I suffer from a fatal disease.
That's why you did it?
My... It's all my fault.
All my fault.
Dad, I was wrong.
No, you didn't do anything wrong.
I'm the one who made you like this.
It would have been better if I were already dead.
Because I lived too long, I harmed you.
You came, In Ho?
Yesterday, did the meeting with the Prime Minister go well?
Yes
He told me this.
"Thank you for being alive."
In Ho, after coming back as Park Na Young,
my greed was getting bigger.
It's a miracle that I'm alive.
It's miracle
that I'm alive and can dream of meeting my kids.
I realized I was too greedy.
I think I can wait patiently now.
My Woo Ri...
until the miracle of Woo Ri meeting me comes.
And...
until the miracle of Su Ho waking up comes true.
I want to believe it, too.
Really.
I really want to believe it.
Prime Minister, my Father found out everything.
The contract marriage...and even that Na Young is alive.
Okay. I'll go there now.
I will explain everything to Father, so don't worry about anything.
Okay.
Dad, what are you doing? Are you planning to go somewhere?
Da Jeong, have you come back from school?
Dad...
Da Jeong,
it's snowing outside. Let's go to have a snowball fight!
Dad, what are you talking about? What snow are you talking about?
Look, look!
It's snowing like crazy!
You were complaining that there was no snow earlier.
But do you like it now since it's snowing?
Dad...
You said that when it snowed a lot, you wanted to have a snowball fight with me.
Let's go! We can have a snowball fight and make a snowman!
Let's really have a lot of fun today!
What are you doing? Hurry!
Da Jeong, I will make you a really big snowman today!
Let's go now!
Alright, Dad. Let's go.
It's really nice.
It's really nice since it's snowing so much.
Da Jeong, you like it too, right?
Yeah,
I like it too, Dad.
I like it so much.
My goodness, it's snowing so much!
Father-in-law?
How did Da Jeong's father find out?
In Ho!
Come here quickly, In Ho!
Why, what's wrong?
Is he having a seizure again?
No. Somehow, I can't say it.
I think...
Su Ho is recognizing me.
Hyung...
Can you possibly hear me?
Do you...
know who I am?
Dad, isn't it cold? Let's go in now.
But there's still no one who cares for me like you, Da Jeong.
How can I send you away (in marriage)
when you're so beautiful like this?
Dad...
I don't know who'll marry you, but the person who does,
is really blessed.
I wonder what kind of man you'll marry.
You need to meet a person who looks only at you, cares only for you,
and someone for you. You need to find a good person.
He is that kind of person, Dad.
A person who looks only at me and is solely for me.
Okay, okay.
You need to find a good person like that.
The day that I hold your hand and walk down the aisle,
I wish that it would snow like it is today.
Dad, don't you remember?
The day I got married, the first snow fell.
It was pouring like today.
The whole world white and pretty
because the whole world was white and beautiful.
Dad, you really can't remember?
Dad...
Dad?
Dad...
Dad? Dad.
Dad...
I'm sorry.
Ahjumma, we can't see Grandpa anymore?
No,
Grandpa is alive in your heart, Man Se.
So if you miss him, tell him you miss him.
He listens to everything.
Really?
Of course. It's real.
Woo Ri, will you take your siblings and go to the car first?
Yes, Dad.
I liked Grandpa.
He was so good to me.
Noona, don't cry.
Ahjumma said that if we miss Grandpa,
we can talk to him in our hearts.
That way we can meet him, she said.
Hey, dummy, you believe that?
He died.
How can we meet him?
Then,
can we meet our mom, too?
It's all a fib!
Hyung, is it true what Noona said?
We can't meet Grandpa?
We can't meet Grandpa.
But,
we can meet Mom.
Prime Minister, you worked hard.
I'll go a little while later, so take the kids and go first.
Just cry.
In these times, you're just supposed to cry.
Do I have a right to cry?
I wanted to
be forgiven by my Dad.
I mean,
it's okay if he didn't forgive me.
He could get angry and hate me.
It's all okay.
But my Dad,
sending off my dad like that.
I...
can't forgive myself.
Da Jeong gave this journal to me.
What should I write?
I played Go-Stop with Son-in-law Kwon.
I won.
Things I can't forget.
Da Jeong's birthday, August 15.
My name, Nam Yu Shik
My daughter, Nam Da Jeong
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Why did you suddenly think that you need to see your Mom?
Because of Grandpa.
After Grandpa passed away.
Thinking I might not be able to see her again.
I thought I should go meet Mom now.
My Woo Ri has grown up quite a lot.
Woo Ri, go ahead.
Hello.
Woo Ri.
Mom.
Yes, I'm your Mom, Woo Ri.
Can Mom hold you once?
I'll let Man Se and Na Ra meet her in time.
Since they're young, it's not easy to bring it up.
Okay, I understand.
What I said last time about accepting Na Young, please pretend you didn't hear it.
And also,
I know that I've wronged you a lot.
I went too far.
If I apologize, will you accept it?
You're saying all sorts of things, unlike you.
You're not saying that you'll accept my apology.
Think about all the things you did to me.
Do you think it would be easy to?
Can we
go back to the way we were before?
It might be difficult right away,
but time will probably resolve things.
Since we're friends.
Then, please take good care of Woo Ri.
Okay, don't worry. I'll leave first.
Oh yeah, Joon Gi.
One thing I realized while encountering this issue with Na Young.
Don't sadden the ones close to you.
Don't make the same mistake I did.
Poor Da Jeong.
How heartbroken she must be after her dad passed away.
Her father passed away,
and Prime Minister stepped down.
They say that bad things happen in groups, it must be true.
Watching the proceedings to select a new Prime Minister,
it really turned my insides out.
Wait a second,
if Prime Minister becomes unemployed,
what will happen to our Reporter Nam?
Do we need to rehire her?
Instead of worrying about me, shouldn't you be
- Noona! - Reporter Nam!
Thank you for coming to the funeral.
It was so hectic, I didn't get to greet you properly.
Noona, are you alright?
Of course, I'm okay.
I came because I had a favour to ask.
I'll come back to get it later; could you hold on to this box for me?
Noona, are you going somewhere?
A trip?
Where are you going to go?
Just...
places I went to with my Dad before.
And just wherever my steps lead me.
Alone?
No, with my Dad.
Oh yeah, Chief Kang,
sincere congratulations for your brother waking up.
I don't know if
I can accept this kind of congratulation from you.
Why not?
You were hurting so much because of your brother.
Everything turned out so well.
But isn't it amazing?
The day my dad passed away, your brother woke up.
As your father left,
I think he gave a gift.
A gift called a miracle.
Thank you for saying it like that, Chief Kang.
But
did you tell Prime Minister that you're going on a trip?
No, not yet.
I should now.
He will worry a lot until you return.
When will you come back?
I'm not too sure.
Won't I find out after I get there?
Prime Minister Kwon Yul
Prime Minister,
Alright. Good work.
And ahjumma just called.
She just got to the house with the kids.
Prime Minister, will you go home
or the official residence?
Since it's the last day, I'll go to the official residence.
And Prime Minister,
Ms. Nam Da Jeong is going on a trip.
Are you aware of it?
As expected, Ms. Nam Da Jeong did not inform you.
Prime Minister,
I'm worried because Ms. Nam Da Jeong is going on a trip, alone.
Shouldn't you hold her, so she can't go?
If she doesn't return...
Chief Kang,
do you remember what I said when I married
Nam Da Jeong?
That I would settle the consequences
of this marriage someday.
For some reason, those words won't leave my mind.
Like you said,
it's possible that Nam Da Jeong will not return from the trip.
But even then,
I don't think I should hold on to
Nam Da Jeong, who wants to leave.
♫ Love to the death, just like the sun ♫
♫ I will wrap my arme and warm your heart. ♫
♫ I've already lost everything ♫
I will never leave your side, Prime Minister
because I love you.
Please leave the official residence.
You said that once, right?
That you'd become a Prime Minister who serves the people.
I believe that you'll keep that promise. ♫ As compassionate as you are dazzling, ♫
♫ you waited for me. ♫
♫ Your love for me shines in your eyes. ♫
♫ I didn't know you well. ♫
I, Kwon Yul, you, Nam Da Jeong. ♫ I, who revolved around the emptiness I knew♫
♫ I want to caress you ♫
♫ I want to grow accustomed to you ♫
♫ I am returning again to a place without you. ♫
♫ Truth, love, everything ♫
♫ Now ♫
I'll read this book to you. ♫ You, who are precious to me, ♫
♫ Will you love me, who doesn't deserve to have you, ♫
♫ As much I'll love you to death?♫
Can I like you, Nam Da Jeong? ♫ You, who are the blessing on my life, ♫
I won't ever let go of this hand. ♫ You, it just must only be you. ♫
♫ Now,you are precious to me. ♫
♫ Will you love me, who doesn't deserve to have you,♫
♫ As much as I will love you to death? ♫
♫ You, who are the blessing on my life ♫
♫ You, it must just only be you. ♫
Prime Minister. Prime Minister. ♫ You, it must just only be you. ♫
Chief Kang, you're leaving late today.
Were you waiting for me?
As the Vice Prime Minister's Chief Secrertary, are you that free?
That wouldn't be the case.
I resigned today.
Why?
Are you going to follow the Prime Minister again?
No. I want to go on my own path now.
Wow. I think I'll need to buy a celebratory drink!
As I expected, you caught on fast.
I heard that Prime Minister is alone at the official residence,
I was going to ask him to have a drink together.
I don't think we can do that.
What do you mean we can't? Why?
That's...
Prime Minister has
has another guest already.
That person...
I hope that she will visit Prime Minister for sure.
It's your last day at the official residence,
how are you feeling?
Well...
I'm not too sure about how I feel, but
I haven't realized it fully.
That I'll be leaving this place tomorrow.
Me too.
Even though it was for a short time,
many things happened here.
While I was with you,
I learned many things.
The things I've forgotten,
the things that I thought were insignificant,
what are the things that are truly valuable to me,
it was a time to discover all those things.
So
I do not regret the time spent here.
I'm going to leave on a trip.
Do you
have to?
One day,
if our fates meet again,
if we can have
a true beginning,
I will hold your hand then.
So you have to be well until then.
Even though it was a short time,
I was happy
that I could be with you.
Then...
I'll go now.
You've done a great job.
Job well done.
You as well.
Good job.
They arrived! They're coming!
Seo Hye Ju is here.
Seo Hye Ju, please look this way!
Please say something.
When do you plan to establish a new party?
Among all the independent candidates, the ruling party members picked you as the must-have,
Do you have any intent of joining the party?
I have absolutely...
"no" intention of joining the party.
I'm planning on forming a party.
Fo-fo-forming a party... Then,
are you thinking of putting in a presidential bid potentially?
Reporter Byeon Ho Cheol, you really are hopeless.
Are you seriously asking that as a question now?
Have you EVER seen a newly-elected member entering a presidential election?
Move out of the way.
- Have you made up your mind now? - Yep.
If you've made up your mind then you should get elected.
Being elected isn't The end goal.
I just want to be the flag bearer for the people who share the same values as I do.
Joon Gi, you're going to help me right?
Help the punk who is planning on reforming the conglomerate?
What do you take me for?
I'm the Myeong Shim Group's son-in-law.
Don't you know how scary my father-in-law is?
I can never help you on that!
Externally, that is.
Secretly.
I will help you in secret.
Thanks.
Hey still, it's troublesome even if you're elected.
What's a divorcé to do without the First-lady-to-be?
You worry about all kind of things. I didn't even start yet!
So why didn't you try to get along with Na Young?
Na Young was taken away from you by Kang Soo Ho,
and you don't even know where Nam Da Jeong is.
Honey!
Honey, I'm so tired!
What's so difficult about watching a kid? Hand her over.
Let's see.
Peek-a-boo!
Agasshi too, said she's coming to see the children.
It's been a long time since we ate together.
No,
I have a place to visit today.
An exciting adventure of the pastry frog?
Hey, you read these types of books?
You really are in for becoming a good dad!
Please take good care of my kids. "An exciting adventure of the pastry frog by Nam Da Jeong"
So,
you're telling me because you want to right a little cheesy kids' book that
you invested your entire assets and traveled around the world. That's what you're saying right now?
Editor, how can you say it's childish when you haven't even read it yet.
Noona, when I see this, I think it's going to be like the Korean Harry Potter!
I came because it's the anniversary of my dad's passing as well as to promote my book.
Anyway Noona, we have an interview and that interview
as soon as that interview is over, we'll be right back, so
wait just a little while. We have to have a drink!
Wait. You have to wait, okay?
Nothing changed.
Have you been well?
I came by to pick you up.
My daughter Nam Da Jeong... My daughter Nam Da Jeong...
To my beloved daughter Da Jeong
Da Jeong
My loving daughter Na Jeong
when I thought about it carefully,
what I really want the most
was not you getting married, in turns out.
What I really wanted for you was
... your bright smile.
And... you becoming happy.
Da Jeong, be happy
with Kwon who you love.
Though your beginning wasn't love,
I really believe that
the end will be love.
Dad, I've come.
I finally have come to read
the letter you wrote.
Dad, I wrote a book.
I brought it to show it to you.
Aren't you proud of your daughter?!
Yes.
I understand.
Yes.
I just got a call from reporter Byeon Ho Cheol,
and he said that he'd be late due to the road condition.
Would that disrupt the next interview?
I thought it might, so
I asked the next interviewer to come earlier.
Good.
I can just wait here, right?
Yes.
I will check and see how far the interviewer has come.
Your time
I hope would continue on without stopping,
forever.
Prime Minister,
No, now I should call you
Candidate Kwon, right?
How are you?
I'm author Nam Da Jeong who wrote a book called
"An exciting adventure of the pastry frog".
I'm at a designing stage of writing a new book that
is modelled after a person who has been a Prime Minister at one point,
I was hoping you would let me interview you, Candidate.
That book...
what's the title of it?
The book I'm planning to write will be called
"Prime Minister and Me".
"Prime Minister and Me"
Is the main character of the book "Me" or the "Prime Minister"?
Wouldn't you think it'd be both?
I bet it's a fun book.
Then
how long will the interview take?
You won't be thinking of giving me
only 10 minutes, are you?
You will help me, no?
I will help you.
Though I'm not sure whether I could be of help.
Thank you.
Then let me greet you again.
I am
Nam Da Jeong.
I'm Kwon Yul.
