Scent of a Woman
Episode 16
Final Episode
You're all done.
You look beautiful.
Wow...
Is this really my mom?
Mom.
Do you know how happy I am right now?
Don't cry, Mom.
You have to be happy
for me to be happy as well, okay?
Wow!
Soon Jeong, come here.
So pretty.
Should we take it now? Please sit.
A little closer.
Sit up straight.
Smile. One, two, three.
Why don't you get in?
Yes, come here.
Ji Wook, why don't you come and take the picture with us?
Yes.
Sure.
Wow. This is the best-looking family I've ever worked with.
I'm going to take it now. One, two, three.
[13. To get Mom remarried.]
Just sit and rest.
I can wash this myself.
- If you do everything, what should I do? - You don't have anything to do?
Why don't you arrange some flowers then? Prettily,
while smiling.
I'll be going out for a minute.
To see Ji Wook?
I thought you were a mom who honors her daughter's privacy.
Do you need to travel far? Should I take you?
Where are my car keys...
Oh no. It's Okay.
The two of you should enjoy your being newlyweds.
I'll be back soon.
Yeon Jae.
Do you think we should be living with her?
Sometimes I think we should have sent her to Ji Wook.
It's not too late to send her when she wants to go.
Your mother's wedding went well?
It wasn't much of a wedding, really.
But now that Mom's married, I feel so relieved...
and happy, and satisfied.
You seem good.
I do.
And the bucket list is going well?
How did you know?
I heard - from Hee Joo.
Did you finish?
No. Not yet.
Now that I think about it,
I have a lot of things to take care of.
My body has to hold up until then.
Will it be possible?
Since your doctor is so competent... probably.
What's all this?
You asked when I was going to cook you a meal last time.
You should have called me so we could go shopping together,
instead of going by yourself.
I wanted to surprise you.
Don't do anything.
I'm going to do everything by myself.
Still...
You don't have to help.
I want to do everything for you today.
Then... this is okay. Right?
Since this isn't helping.
This is nice.
If you like this, then why didn't you want to live together?
Since Teacher is next to your mother, you don't have to worry about her.
I can't.
You know the reason why.
If it's because you're worried about me, then don't.
I love Lee Yeon Jae.
Not just a healthy Lee Yeon Jae.
Kang Ji Wook.
I'm...
so happy right now.
I can be with the person I love most in the world,
be able to cook for that person,
and be able to look at each other like this.
You say that you love Lee Yeon Jae.
Won't you love the Lee Yeon Jae that you can't live with?
I can go back to cooking, right?
Aren't you going to resume what you were doing?
What are you going to make me?
Spaghetti with clam sauce.
[First Place Award]
Why did you decide to select Wando?
Ah well...
Wando is well known as the country's best location for the freshest air quality,
and it boasts premium items like abalone and kelp,
which I believed would be perfect for a healthy and family-oriented vacation.
Why is the director doing this?
I know. Like he's the one who came up with the project.
Hold on a minute.
I'm in the middle of an interview.
Who?
I'm sorry for speaking down to you when you were working in the office.
But I asked for forgiveness using my butt.
It's not right for you to be still mad at me. Right?
Director, what's going on with you?
You're not going to tell General Manager about me, right?
That's why you're apologizing?
I really can't get fired.
My kids and wife are overseas.
I know.
You do?
I know you keep international calling cards in your wallet.
I gave you about 10 of them as a gift a while back.
Right.
Why did I forget that?
Please take a look at this project.
[Feel Good Trip]
If you read it and like the trip,
it would be nice if you could launch the project.
Why are you giving this to me?
I came up with the trip idea after coming back from your mother's funeral.
You cried, regretting you never took your mom on a trip while working at a travel company.
It also made me think about my mom...
It's nice.
Did you come up with this on your own?
Yes.
Please start immediately.
What?
Actually, the person who wrote up the proposal is not me.
It's Lee Yeon Jae.
You said you wanted to try it some time.
Why did we come to this expensive place?
I said I'm paying.
If we were to buy shrimp with this money...
Enjoy.
How are you supposed to eat this?
You wrap the claw with the clothe and bang it with the hammer.
- I'll do it for you. - No, no. Let me try it.
Excuse me.
Hi.
I'm eating with Mom.
Do you know what I ate?
Lobster.
I tried it for the first time today.
Why did you pass the proposal to Director No?
I really wanted the proposal to be launched.
It would be a shame to put it to waste.
Then you can work on it yourself.
I don't work there anymore.
How about you come back to work?
No... how can I?
I'll bring you back.
The Wando trip was also your idea.
That, in itself, is enough.
It's all right.
If it's a project that's important to you,
why don't you want to work on it yourself?
I've also thought about it.
But I might not be able to finish it.
I don't want to put others in a bad position because of my illness.
Then you don't have to.
If you want to, just do it yourself.
I'll do whatever I can to bring you back to the office.
What did you want to talk about?
I would like her to come back to work.
I want her to do what she enjoys,
but one thing worries me.
Can it be harmful to her health?
Of course it can,
if she has a lot of stress from working.
But I'm all for it.
Doing something one enjoys, and knowing that there's work to be done,
can give a person strength.
What do you think?
It's good.
You chose well.
We should definitely start working on it.
Actually, the person who wrote the proposal is no longer working here.
What?
I'd like to hire the person temporarily to work on the project.
Is it... that woman?
Yes.
Why must you go this far?
I haven't said anything because she's in such a pitiful state.
But you want to bring her back to the office?
Are you thinking straight?
You said you liked the proposal.
Don't you think she has the talent to come back to work?
Who cares if she has the talent?
What if something happens while she's working?
What happens then?
Why are you trying to bring a woman who's only going to live a few more months?
You're so cruel.
Try being in my shoes.
There's nothing else I can do.
What if you had that kind of illness?
What?
And I told you to do nothing, and just to stay in your room?
I'm sure you wouldn't be saying the same thing.
Why do you have to go back to the office?
It'll be fine.
Ji Wook's not even coming to pick you up.
We decided not to act like a couple in the office.
You really don't want me to take you?
I'll be fine.
I'll be back. Good bye.
I don't know what's wrong with her!
Just let her be.
It's the first time I've seen her so energized.
Let's go in.
How poor are you that you have to move in with a woman?
She says she likes this house.
What a pitiful fool.
But why are you always home by yourself?
Wha... what's it to you?
If you're free, do you want to bet on a game of Go?
Good luck!
Hello.
Welcome.
Sit over there.
What are you doing here, Lee Yeon Jae?
The proposal was written by Lee Yeon Jae,
so she'll be working as a consultant on the project.
I've seen people get a job through their father,
but I've never seen someone get a job through their boyfriend.
I'm a little disappointed in General Manager.
You don't have to be so difficult about it.
She's only going to be working for a few days.
Nam Na Ri and Yoo Seung Hwa,
do you not like this project?
Well... umm... it's not that.
Then let's start the meeting.
After the meeting, I'll pay for lunch.
How is scrooge Lee Yeon Jae paying for lunch?
I'm not a scrooge anymore.
Should we review the concept first?
Are you all right? You're not tired?
I'm fine.
I felt a little nervous coming to work.
But I don't feel bad.
That's good.
- Close the door. - Yes, Sir.
The chairman must disapprove, right?
I don't understand why.
What's wrong with me?
I, of course, can't say that.
He disapproves.
I'm lacking in so many areas.
I can see that.
How did you and General Manager start dating?
I went on a trip after I quit working,
and we met by coincidence.
Tsk. Does everyone start dating after meeting by coincidence?
I'm sure she chased him.
I guess even a man like General Manager comes around if you chase hard.
Bong Gil. Be courageous.
If you're going to date, you should just do it outside.
Why do you have to do it in the office?
I didn't come to date.
I'd always wanted to create a trip that carried my name,
so I worked on that proposal.
Either way, I'm glad for a chance like this.
I plan on working real hard.
I'm the one who gave you that chance.
Why isn't the food coming out?!
I planned a golf outing with the official's second son.
Dad.
He started a law office and it looks like things are going well.
I don't want to.
I thought you aren't interested in Ji Wook anymore.
I have to go work. I have a meeting with Line Tour.
You're still working with them?
You always said that personal matters and business are separate.
But still...
Line Tour is the country's No. 1 travel company. We can't just give up the business partnership.
Why can't you just let things go?
Please don't push marriage on me.
I want to date and get married like everyone else.
Please Dad?
All right. I understand.
That woman is Lim Se Kyung, right?
How could she get dumped for a woman like Lee Yeon Jae?
You're here?
If you're uncomfortable, do you want to go somewhere else?
Wouldn't it be even more weird to go out now?
I wish you would create a special trip for the Frequent Traveler members.
I'll go now.
Thank you for last time.
And...
I'm sorry.
You don't have to.
Father will set me up with someone much better than you.
Please tell your father I said Happy Birthday.
It's not like I can celebrate your father's birthday with him.
Good bye.
Why are you acting like this is the last time?
I'll see you at next week's meeting.
Hmm... it's not my style,
but I like it.
I can wear it for the next 30 years.
It's not yours.
Is it a gift for my father?
Yes.
How did you know?
I worked at Line Tour for 10 years.
It's all right.
Why? You don't want me to get a gift for your father's birthday?
It's not that.
I want to give it to him in person,
but I'm sure he'll say, " How can you come here? "
and get upset.
I don't want to ruin a happy day, so you give it to him instead.
I'm going inside.
You have to give it to him. You must.
Okay?
Okay.
Why did Ji Wook leave just like that?
You should have told him to go inside.
I told him to go.
It's his father's birthday.
Do you want to take a walk outside with me?
No. I just want to rest today.
Don't be upset.
You're dating Ji Wook, not his father.
I know.
Are you sick?
I'm just tired.
Do you want medicine?
No, no, no. Let's go to the hospital.
Can you get up?
It's not that bad. It's all right. It's all right.
Why did you go back to work?
It just makes you tired.
Mom.
I really like going to the office.
After taking time off, everything feels new.
Oh really...
Mom.
Give me a hug.
How nice.
Even with all that money, you're drinking soju?
Why are you here?
Yeon Jae wanted me to give this to you.
I don't want it!
What do you think you're doing?
I didn't want to come, but I'm here because she wanted me to.
What?
My only child, just because he fell in love with a woman who has cancer,
is going to turn his back on his father.
What do you like about that woman?
There's nothing special about her.
I feel happy whenever we're together.
I'm sure being with a sick woman makes you really happy.
Sometimes I'm sad, and sometimes I want to cry.
There are also times when I feel like my heart's going to be ripped apart.
But...
I'm still happy.
Every day used to be boring and aimless.
I used to think that it wouldn't be a bad thing to die like this.
But not anymore.
I want to live hard,
because of her.
This is my present.
Because of that woman, I was able to find this letter from Mom.
She told me not to hate you.
I'll be leaving now.
Happy Birthday.
Today's your last day, right?
Yes.
I feel so much better. From tomorrow, just stay right here at home,
right next to me, 24 hours a day, okay?
Sure.
Don't you think I should at least get one hour?
Okay. Just one hour.
I love you, my daughter.
I love you, my mom.
Don't you have a little fever?
Really?
Maybe because I'm a little nervous?
Mom, I'm going to be late. I'll go now.
Okay. Good bye.
- Bye.
Good bye!
[Feel Good Trip: Date with Mom]
The first order's in!
Oh my!
Two more here!
Wow! Within 10 minutes of opening.
I think we have a jackpot here!
Yeon Jae, it's so great.
I know.
How is it?
It's starting out as a success.
Things look great.
Good job everyone.
I'll buy dinner tonight.
Ms. Lee Yeon Jae.
You did a good job.
Thank you.
How do you feel?
It feels good.
I also feel a little sad.
Maybe I shouldn't have said that I just wanted to work on this project.
If you want to come back to work, just tell me.
I'll let you work.
I'm the General Manager.
Should we go too?
For a huge success!
Cheers!
I can't believe we're toasting with water.
Why? It's nice that we're not drinking.
Lee Yeon Jae. Is this your last day?
Yes.
So sad.
I know.
Your face looks a little pale.
It must be my nerves.
A drink would be perfect - bring a little color to the face, right?
Go ahead and drink. It's a happy day.
Shall we?
Bong Gil. How about two bottles of wine?
Yes.
I'm sorry, but I have to go to the washroom.
What's wrong? Are you sick?
No...
I just have a little fever.
Just needed a little air.
You're burning!
Lee Yeon Jae.
Wake up!
Lee Yeon Jae.
Wake up, Lee Yeon Jae...
What happened?
Go inside.
I'll take her to the hospital.
Just hold on.
We'll be there soon.
Drive...
slowly.
How is she?
She's over 39 degrees.
Let's get a CT right away.
Yes.
Chae Eun Seok...
Where did these two go?
Shouldn't they have waited until dinner's over before going on their date?
Bong Gil, give them a call.
It's all right.
Don't call them.
What?
They went to the hospital.
Her fever went up to 40 degrees.
Things were bad, but she's out of danger now.
But the problem is what comes next.
What do you mean?
There aren't many anti-cancer medication that you can use for gallbladder cancer.
It looks like they aren't effective on Yeon Jae anymore.
Then... what should we do?
You need to choose.
We can stop the chemotherapy,
or restart the experimental drug that she tried for a short time.
We should use the medicine.
There are pros and cons.
If we stop the chemotherapy, we can keep her health from declining.
We can hope that the experimental drug will have a positive effect,
but situations like today may occur again.
Thankfully, we were able to stop the fever,
but if she hits 40 degrees next time,
there's no telling what might happen.
What should we do?
I don't know which way is better.
But I know one thing for sure.
Whatever you select, Yeon Jae will fight through it.
She's been able to get through every crisis she's faced.
Yeon Jae.
How do you feel?
Are you hurting anywhere?
Am I really bad?
No.
Your fever came down, so they say you're okay.
What a relief.
Yes, a relief.
Really a relief.
Why don't you go home and get some sleep?
I'll stay next to Yeon Jae.
Yes.
Let's give the two of them time together.
I don't think I can decide.
Yeon Jae and I will decide together.
All right.
Please give us until tonight.
Go on in.
Yes.
Are you all right?
It's gallbladder cancer.
I've been in love with her for the past 25 years.
Your body can come in.
Huh?
I want to live, Eun Seok...
I want to live, Eun Seok.
No!
Please live.
Yeon Jae, please live.
I came for a meeting, but heard that Kang Ji Wook didn't come in to work.
Ji Wook's at the hospital.
Is Yeon Jae better now?
The fever broke, but they need to keep monitoring her.
Can you leave for a minute?
It's all right.
Why are you here?
I felt bad...
...about the last words I said to you.
I'm sorry about the ring.
But I wish you would understand that in that situation,
- it was natural for me to react that way. - You really are something.
It's the one thing I like about you.
Take care of yourself.
Bye.
Lim Se Kyung.
You...
...like Kang Ji Wook, right?
What are you going to do about it?
Give up.
While I'm around, it won't work out.
[16. Leave traces that I lived on this earth.]
[17. Have the people who know me remember me as one cool lady.]
[18. Kiss someone on a white Christmas day amidst falling snow.]
[5. Try on a wedding dress.]
[11. Receive a proposal that all women would be jealous of]
[12. Volunteer]
Your fever's down.
You should feel better.
Eun Seok.
Huh?
I'm sorry.
It would have been better if we'd met as old classmates.
I'm sorry we had to meet like this.
Why did I have to come to this hospital, of all other hospitals?
Yeon Jae.
Yes?
If you're sorry, then don't forget the favor I asked of you.
To live?
Can we go on a date together?
I thought I should ask her doctor.
Hold on.
Think of today as Christmas.
That makes no sense.
Maybe it'll be a white Christmas.
Aren't you cold?
What's going on?
It's a white Christmas.
Did you know about my Bucket List?
Don't misunderstand.
I'm only doing this for you now because it might not snow this Christmas.
Your 18th wish came true.
And you have 4 left out of 20.
Do the rest later.
Much, much later.
When that time comes, let's go to find the ring that is buried at the bottom of the hill.
Whenever you need a helping hand, I'll be within reach
I'll be the first to break out in smiles when you're happy
There are two choices.
I'm going to select the one that still gives us hope.
Is that okay?
Good.
Please don't say you are grateful
Just having you beside me
is more than enough for my happiness
Every day, the times I could not withstand
Even the weariness that was growing in me
Because of you, because we met
I was able to bear it
Whenever you need a helping hand, I'll be standing within reach
This must be a dream, isn't it?
It's such a good dream, so I'll sleep a little longer.
Who sent it?
Ms. Lee Yeon Jae.
What's this?
What is it?
Oh! What's this!
Oh my.
Cute Yeon Jae.
My cutie Yeon Jae.
To everyone with whom I shared my precious moments,
I'm sending this small gift.
The baby better look like the mom, not the dad.
Hope your heart becomes as pretty as your face.
Please be as commanding in the office as you are in the dance studio.
What's this? What could it be?
- Wow! - This is ours?
I can't believe it.
These are really expensive.
They're so pretty.
- So great. - How did she know my size?
I heard that nice shoes bring happiness.
I paid a good penny for them.
Have some taffy.
It's good for hypertension.
Malbok is doing well somewhere.
I heard it's a lucky ring.
Hope you get stuck with a good man.
Ji Wook picked it.
I should have picked it, right?
Poopie Seok has become a kind-hearted guy.
[Warm-hearted Chae Eun Seok of Jong-ang Hospital, Internal Medicine]
Thanks for being my doctor.
The time that I spent with all of you made up my life.
Thank you for being next to me.
[20. And last... to close my eyes in the arms of the one I love...]
What are you doing?
I brought out our hydrangea for the winter.
Because it needs to be cold in the winter to bloom nicely?
That's right.
I'm almost done.
All done.
It's time to go.
Let's go.
I'm sorry.
I don't think it's possible.
I see.
I thought I could at least donate my cornea,
although my eyes aren't very good.
It's all right.
I can do it.
How do I apply for a donation?
You can give us an application first.
We need to have familial consent, so you'll need to let them know.
The experimental treatment was successful, so we'll continue with it.
How much longer do you think she can live?
Even getting here is already a miracle.
It's not often, but miracles will happen again.
Of course.
What are you two talking about without me?
We were fighting over you.
Isn't that your dream?
Okay. Good.
Hey, you should have put it here.
Seriously!
Huh?
Let me... let me move just one.
No, no, no...
- Just one... - No, no.
I can't do it.
No, no.
Oh my! Come in! Come in!
Mom!
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
- You're here. - Yes. You've been well?
Grandpa!
Grandpa, you can't be like this.
Come in, come in.
Now, this is all wrong here.
- Go in. - It's all wrong.
This is good.
Is it nice living with Yeon Jae?
Of course.
Look at your face.
I think you've become better looking.
- Really? - Yes, of course.
They say that this is good for your skin.
Thank you.
It's delicious.
It's been more than 6 months since I knew about my terminal illness.
And I've now been alive for 7 months and 2 days.
I don't know how many days I have left.
It doesn't matter whether it's one day, one month, or more.
I just need to live each day, each moment to the full,
without regret.
[20. And last... to close my eyes in the arms of the one I love...]
You do this every day,
since you fall asleep in my arms every night.
Are you writing your next bucket list?
Yes, I am.
If you weren't ill, do you think we would be any happier?
If I didn't receive the illness, I would have lived as the shy Lee Yeon Jae.
I wouldn't have been able to reach out to you,
and I wouldn't have thought to marry off Mom.
I wouldn't have gone on a single trip, and would live each day trembling with fear...
...while only dreaming of happiness.
But
I...
right now...
am happy.
What should we do tomorrow?
Tomorrow.
Well... what shall we do tomorrow?
To everyone who watched with us, please be happy ^_^ Thank You.^_^
