Loving You a Thousand Times
Episode 52
Here, have a bite.
Kang Ho oppa!
Mom!
Where is Eun Nim unni?
Mom!
Bring over Eun Nim.
Kang Ho you are back.
What's wrong with Mom?
You must be surprised?!
Your mom is very ill.
Please go and bring back Eun Nim quickly.
I want to play with Eun Nim.
Kid's mom, what are you doing? Please wake up to your old self.
How could you behave like this in front of the kids?
Oppa...
I beg you... Why are you like this...
How could you have gone mad like this?
Kang Ho oppa, please talk to that grandma.
That grandma won't give me any meals and beats me up every day.
When did I beat you up?
Why did you go mad? Come to your senses quickly.
Kang Ho oppa.
Mother, please don’t be like this.
You're an evil woman.
Aigoo... What is this world coming to...
- Aigoo, what should we do? - Grandmother.
Hyung.
Um, you're back?
What's going on? Did Mom get Alzheimer's?
Is this real?
That's what the doctor said.
Then, what's going to happen to our mom?
Is there any treatment for her?
She'll be a little bit better than now if she is treated.
Then... would she be back to her old self if she is treated?
She might recover some,
but it's very difficult to recover completely.
Then... does that mean mother might stay like this from now on?
How could she mis-identify people?
She called me "oppa" when she saw me.
At least...
she still recognizes you...
Does that mean she can't recognize you at all?
How did this person behave today?
She was confused the whole day.
However, she had somewhat normal periods yesterday.
Isn't this a little bit better?
Anyway... she recognized Kang Ho!
She recognizes Kang Ho?
But... she called Kang Ho "oppa" whenever she sees him.
Kang Ho oppa.
Father.
I'm so angry, so mad.
How could she have Alzheimer's ahead of an old lady like me?
She was such a smart girl.
How could she become like this?
She really only cared for herself to the very end.
Grandma...
Aigoo, that's right...
What's the use of complaining about it now?
Nonetheless, she was so eager to get rid of Eun Nim before,
why does she want to see her so much now?
Just from this point...
your mother really does have Alzheimer's.
She did a lot of strange things before.
Why did we ignore the signs?
Kid's dad,
we didn't pay any attention back then.
She wouldn't be like this now if we had her checked up back then.
Kid's dad too.
When you saw how she was, you should've just reminded her gently.
How could you yell at her like that and threaten to kick her out.
That's why she couldn't take the shock and became abnormal.
Grandma...
Right...
What’s the use of regretting it now?
What should we do now?
Should we keep her home like now or take her to a rehab center?
Grandmother, we can't send her to a rehab center.
The doctor told us to have her take medication and live harmoniously with the family.
Her condition will improve under that condition.
I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you all.
All you men go to work.
Do you know how difficult it is for the ones who stay home?
Yoo Bin's mom takes care of it all by herself.
Grandmother, I'm OK.
We can hire a caretaker when she gets better.
Yoo Bin's mom...
I'm grateful for what you said.
It's true...
it's inhumane to send a patient to a rehab center just so the family won't suffer.
On the other hand...
she was so mean to Eun Nim in the past, now she's so eager to have her back.
What should we do now?
She already has nothing to do with us.
We can't ask her to take care of her ex-mother-in-law.
I'm here.
Oh... Unni.
Is this all the luggage you have?
I already shipped the larger pieces.
That's why...
What's that ring? Did you get a new one?
What is this?
You're still wearing your wedding ring?
Oh... just because...
That's right; you shouldn't just throw away such an expensive ring any way.
And you can't sell the ring either.
On the other hand,
how can a divorced person still wear a wedding ring?
It's too pitiful.
I know a pawn shop that buys back name brand. Let me sell it for you.
You can get close to the original price.
No need... Unni.
What's going on? You aren't come out yet.
Eun Nim, your grandma is here. Hurry out and have lunch together.
Grandma is here too?
All right.
- Say "ahhh" - Really... ahhhh.
Mother-in-law, this is for you. Please have some more.
I had a lot already. You should have some more.
Your son-in-law is offering... you should accept it.
Okay.
My son-in-law's wrap for me tasted extremely good.
Eun Nim, you should eat too.
What's wrong? Still no appetite?
Eun Nim, why're you eating so little recently?
You should eat even if you've no appetite or you'll be as thin as a twig.
Why are you all like this? I'm eating.
What's wrong?
Are you feeling too stuffed?
Don't force yourself then.
It seems like I am a little stuffed.
Don't worry about me. Please have some more.
Eun Nim, are you leaving tomorrow?
I'll drive for you tomorrow?
I don't have luggage.
I already shipped the large pieces. There're only a few things left.
Hello.
How do you do.
Please wait a moment.
Who is it?
The agent from whom I rented.
I'll be back after this call.
Yes.
It looks like Eun Nim isn't completely over it yet.
She didn't eat much.
That's right. How would she have any appetite after such a dramatic divorce?
Maybe it's not that, maybe Eun Nim is pregnant again?
Look at her face and loss of appetite.
It's a little bit strange to me.
She's not having someone else's baby again, right?
Why would Eun Nim have others' baby? You! This girl...
Really...
Unni, you came out just in time.
Unni, drink this in a gulp.
What is this?
Red ginseng tea.
You must drink it all and be healthy.
Seon Young hasn't called yet?
Would that Geum Ja stay quiet now?
I talked with Seon Young a few minutes ago.
She said it was quiet.
Right. I already gave her the warning.
Her brain is dead if she still comes out.
I wonder how Geum Ja unni lives now.
How could you call that woman unni under the current situation?
What did I tell you?
I got it, I'll try harder.
But unni, there might be problem at Seon Young's in-law's family.
What kind of problem?
I'm not sure. She'll tell us later.
What's wrong again?
Thank heaven, I only had one daughter.
I don't know how can I handle if I had ten and send them all into in-laws' families?
Unni, Unni, PD Bong is here.
How are you?
It's a little bit late.
Ah. Yes.
How is it?
Did you finish the script?
Just the finishing touch left.
Are you afraid that I won't give it to you? Why did you come here?
Let's not talk about this.
There are other matters to say first, right?
Other matters?
What is it?
Although I don't know what else you want to say, let's go out to talk.
What words do you need to say outside?
It's so cold outside. Just say it here.
Let's go.
See you.
They meet every day.
They better finish up that soap opera soon.
How could they fight like enemies every day?
What do you want to say?
That...
You make me worry every day, torch me.
What?
Director is having too much free time.
I'm trying to write the ending for the drama. My head is going to explode.
I have no brain cells left.
I came here, not because I had free time.
Then...
Why did you come if you have things to do?
I am concentrating completely on my writing right now.
I'm writing like I'm fighting a battle.
I... only sleep two hours each day,
filming, editing... back and forth.
Then... so why are you here?
If you lack of sleep, then you should sleep more.
I like you.
I want to see you.
Oh...
That's funny.
Really funny.
Oh my... oh my...
What are you doing?
Mom!
Hey! What are you doing? You...
- Oh, my god. - Mom, are you OK?
Oh my, oh my...
PD Bong... Are you OK?
I'm OK.
PD Bong.
PD Bong!
Wh-why...
Nose bleeding. Nose bleeding...
What should I do? Don't move!
Tissue... tissue...
PD Bong...
Oh really... Are you better now?
What should I do?
Aigoo, Chul...
Aigoo... What should I do? Really...
- Don't move... - So...why...
Hold on...
Why would PD be holding on to my mom?
Eh?!
That person, time to sleep... where did she go?
Honey, Sae Hun's mom.
You stay home, we'll go out to look for her.
OK, I'll stay at home.
We'll call home when we find her. We'll be back soon.
Whoever finds her call the others.
Yes.
If possible, please contact the police.
I got it.
What's really going on?
Where would she go so late at night?
Sae Hun's mom, Sae Hun's mom.
Mother...
Mother.
Uh, Hyung.
Not yet...
Right, I got it.
Call me if you find her.
Where would Mother go?
Looks like it's almost finished. You should pay up now.
Look here... I asked you to pay up.
Ahjumma, you have to pay before leaving.
Where's the money? How can you leave without paying for the fried rice cakes?
Look at you, looks like you're crazy.
Mom...
Kang Ho oppa.
Mom, what's wrong with you?
This person is this your mother?
Yes.
When did my mother come here?
Quite some time ago.
She tried to leave without paying after eating two portions of fried rice cakes and sausages.
I'll pay for her, I'm sorry.
- Please forgive my mother. - Okay.
Mom... what is this? You have hot sauce on your face.
Let's go, with me.
Hyung, I found Mom.
Mother, Kang Ho.
Mother. It's me, Sae Hun.
I'm Sae Hun.
Where did you find her?
Over there at the street stand.
What was she doing there?
It looks like she went for fried rice cakes and sausages.
Fried rice cakes and sausages?
She would never eat those before.
Let's go.
Mom, let's go.
Okay, Kang Ho oppa.
Mom, next time if you want rice cakes, please tell me.
I'll buy a lot of them for you, okay?
Umm.
Never go by yourself, okay?
Umm.
But... my legs hurt.
Mother, let me carry you.
I don't like Ahjussi.
Mom...
- Should I give you a piggy back ride? - Okay.
Oppa, where's Eun Nim unni?
Kang Ho, where did you find your mother and bring her back from?
Bring her inside first.
Yes, bring her inside first.
Aigoo, my god.
Honey, hot barley tea.
Drink it before sleeping. It'll warm your heart.
I heard mother went to the street vendor stand.
Thank goodness, we found her.
Otherwise, something big might have happened.
We need to find some way...
How can we let mother run around loose like this?
Honey...
Are you crying?
My mom...
Honey...
How could she...
How could Mother not recognize me?
How is it not others, but me?
[Select the picture you want to delete]
What are you doing?
I'm preparing some things for Eun Nim to eat.
She's leaving so soon, she probably won't have anything to eat.
Why are looking at me like that?
Nothing...
just to thank you.
What's there to thank me for?
That...
Anything else for her to bring with her?
How about some hot sauce?
It's not that...
Dear wife, you hint to Eun Nim...
About what?
Would you ask her if she's not feeling well?
Maybe it's like what Nan Jung said.
She's pregnant... but divorced...
She might not be able to tell us about it.
Indeed, she hasn't been eating much recently.
It seems like she threw up in the bathroom yesterday.
Did she?
Be careful when you're driving.
- I got it. - Okay.
Your luggage is ready?
Yes.
What’s happening to you recently?
Eun Nim,
are you pregnant?
Pregnant?
No way!
Really?
It looks like it to me.
You haven't eaten well recently.
Hey.
You...
better have a check up at the hospital.
Mom!
It really isn't like that.
I just have indigestion.
Really?
Yes, it's the truth.
That's right...
What else can we do if you're pregnant?
It would make matters worse.
All right. When are you planning to leave?
I need to stop by somewhere for a moment...
After lunch... I'll leave after that.
All right, let's do it that way.
Yes, it's me.
That... Mother seems to be in good sprit.
Ahjumma, why haven't you given me lunch yet?
You...
You just had lunch, didn't you?
When did I?
Ahjumma, you're too much.
If you don't want to give me lunch, just say so.
Why are you lying?
What is it?
She just finished lunch and she's asking for it again.
Ahjumma... you really didn't give it to me, Why are you insisting that you did?
Ahjumma, if you keep on like this, then you better leave here.
Kid's mom.
What are you doing this for?
You just had lunch with me, didn't you?
You don't remember it?
Spanish soup with lots of your favorites.
Mother...
even you don't want to give me my lunch? Why?
Aigoo... Kid's mom.
Sae Hun...
Sae Hun... You better do something.
I'm really hungry, but nobody wants to feed me.
Mother... let's go out.
I'll buy you something delicious.
Really?
Yes.
Where are we going?
Didn't you say you're hungry?
Where do you want to go?
I just finished breakfast.
How could I be hungry?
Where should we go then?
You're not going to work?
I'm not busy right now.
Then...
Let's take a ride to some place with a nice view.
And have a cup of coffee too.
All right.
Mom, have a cup of coffee.
OK.
What's wrong?
Are you unhappy about something?
I don't know why I came out dressed like this.
What is this?
Why am I feeling so bothered?
Even when we're here at a place with such a nice view.
Mom...
I feel so strange...
What's happening to me?
Mom.
Mom...
What is it?
What's this? It's a necklace and bracelet set, isn't it?
Isn't this for kids to wear?
Mom...
This necklace and bracelet...
you should wear them.
This way...
in case you lose your way...
we can find you.
You want me...
to do this for what reason?
Why should I do that?
Mom...
Mom, you're very ill now.
Mom...
you have Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's?
Are you talking about me?
Yes.
Mom... the periods that you're normal...
will probably be shorter and shorter.
What are you talking about row?
You don't remember, but last night...
you left home and lost your way.
Sae Hun...
Mom...
you should at least recognize me.
Mom...
Cheer up.
Even if you forget everything...
You can't forget me and that...
Understand?
Mom, take a good look at me.
Look at me carefully.
I'm Baek Sae Hun, Mom's son.
Sae Hun, how could I forget you?
Sae Hun, it's impossible.
Mom...
Mom, the coffee spilled.
I'll go get some more coffee.
Hello. Who is this?
It's me, So Weol.
Geum Ja unni?
Where is this that you dare to call here?
Unni, your skin is really that thick?
All my hair stand up when I hear your voice.
So you better hang up the phone quickly.
I'm now...
on my way out of Seoul now with my daughter.
I'm sorry, So Weol.
I really shouldn't have treated you like that.
Later... as time passed,
if I have the chance,
I'll...
must treat you to a dinner.
Unni...
Please apologize to Chung Ja unni and Seon Young for me.
Unni, have a safe trip.
Whose call is this? Like this...
Mom... what are you doing?
Nothing.
Right... let's go.
You... really!
You cry so hard like this, all for pitying that girl?
Isn't it quite hard for her to do that?
What's hard about that? It's what must be done.
Really, you have so many tears.
Mom, where are you going?
To practice the story line.
Only practice the story!
Don't do anything else! Understand?
Aigoo. Of course.
Hey.
Why did Chul treat his mom like that?
That...
I should call Seon Young and tell her that she doesn't need worry anymore.
Oh, Seon Young. It's me.
Nothing else like that...
I just want you to live happily from now on,
Geum Ja and her daughter left Seoul for good.
They won't be back any more.
But, Seon Young, what are you busy with these days?
You haven't been back here.
What?!
Your mother-in-law has Alzheimer's.
Eun Nim, come out for lunch.
Eun Nim, have some congee.
Since you have indigestion, I cooked some congee.
What are you waiting for? Have some.
I haven't cooked Chinese style congee for quite some time now.
It's quite tasty. Try a little.
Okay.
Is it tasty?
Yes, very tasty.
After you move and live by yourself...
Don't pay any mind, if others call you a divorcee...
Nowadays in this society, it's enough to eat and live,
and be by yourself, not depending on others, is the best.
Mom! Mom! Mom!
You're pregnant, why are you rushing about?
Mom! Eun Nim!
"Big news! Big News!"
What is it this time?
Eun Nim's mother-in-law... ex-mother-in-law...
has Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's!
What?
Mom, please don't come out.
Why not bring some of the dishes that I've already packed.
I can make them myself once I settle there.
It's too heavy to carry.
OK, you must make and eat them once you get there.
I'll make you some kimchee and side dishes.
Okay, Mom.
I'm leaving.
Okay.
Hurry up.
Please go back.
Go ahead.
Let me go.
Why are you doing this now?
Your daughter-in-law took you for a ride, you're just back, so where are you going?
It's cold outside, you'll catch a cold.
Let me go.
God, really...
Why aren't you listening to what I say?
Grandma, what is it?
I told her that she just came back.
Why is she going out again?
I'm going to pick up Yoo Bin,
let me take mother along and we'll be back soon.
Fine, go ahead.
Yoo Bin, wait a moment, you need to wait for your mother.
Yes.
Walk slowly, be careful.
Yoo Bin...
Mommy.
Teacher, how are you?
- Hello. - Yoo Bin, did you have fun?
Has Yoo Bin been doing well at school?
Yes, of course. drawing was good, but he still draws independently,
- he needs some more help. - OK.
So...
Eun Nim unni.
Eun Nim unni!
Eun Nim unni.
Mother, be careful!
- Please go in, teacher. - Have a save trip.
- Yes. - Bye.
Mother...
Mother!
Ahjumma, bring me a cup of coffee.
She was so noisy that I couldn't have a cup of tea the whole day.
Yes.
I'll take the call.
Hello.
Oh, Yoo Bin's mom.
Hey.
What's wrong? Why is your voice like that?
What?
Mother's gone?
She didn't come home.
Okay. I got it, I got it.
Right.
Oh God. Really upsetting.
What is all this?
Excuse me...
Yoo Bin's dad made her an ID bracelet with contact information.
Please don't worry.
I'll answer it, I'll...
Hello, Yoo...
What?
Yes, Yes.
This is Son Hyang Suk's home. Correct.
What?!
In the hospital?!
Go Eun Nim.
Yes, that's me.
But...
is my mother-in-law OK?
Yes, she's fine.
She fell asleep after we gave her a sedative.
I see.
Then... I'll leave first.
Not yet, your test is not complete yet.
What test?
I'm OK and I'm not hurt.
When you arrived, there were some abnormal symptoms, so we did some tests.
I would like to discuss it with your guardian.
What for?
I don't have a guardian.
Right now, Go Eun Nim's health is not very good.
How so?
You might have Gastric cancer.
What?
It's better to discuss the details with your family.
It can't be!
I don't feel any discomfort.
Sometimes Gastric cancer doesn't feel painful.
Even so, there should be indigestion.
Doctor, would you come a moment?
Um, please wait a moment.
Where is Son Hyang Suk?
Mother!
What happened?
Mother said she was bored...
so she came along to pick up Yoo Bin from kindergarten.
Mom wasn't hurt anywhere?
Yes, luckily.
Where did the Go Eun Nim that was here go?
Go Eun Nim?
Yes.
She came in with Son Hyang Suk.
Is Go Eun Nim's injury serious?
Her injury wasn't a problem... it just that her health isn't very good.
Her health isn't good...
How so?
Although we need further tests to be sure,
but she has Gastric cancer.
Yes, Daddy.
Are you on your way or are you already there?
Um, almost there.
I'll call you when I get there.
OK, Daddy.
Please don't worry.
[Phone call from lovely Kkang Tong]
Can't answer the call now, please leave a message after the tone.
Go Eun Nim.
Why are you not answering?
Please answer my call. Quick.
It's Gastric cancer.
Your time left...
may be long or may be short.
You should have treatment soon.
Mom. I'm OK.
We should meet again very soon,
Mom,
just wait for me a little bit more.
I'm always missing you a lot.
Can't answer the call now, please leave a message after the tone.
Are you here?
Eun Nim.
Why are you here?
I want to see Eun Nim.
Is Eun Nim inside?
Eun Nim is no longer here. She went to the country-side.
Country-side?
Where in the country-side?
Why are you doing this?
Eun Nim's mood is finally a little bit better after the separation from you.
She wants to start over, so she went to the country-side.
Please don't do this anymore.
Mom, it's me.
Oh, right.
Is it warm in the house?
Of course.
And the blanket that Mom bought for me is very warm too.
Is everything going well at home?
Same as usual.
Right. Call home often then.
Okay?
Okay.
Aigoo, I forgot to tell her about Baek son-in-law stopping by.
Why would you tell her about that? Don't mention it later either.
It was so hard for her to get a little better. It'd only make her feel worse.
They didn't separate because they don't like each other.
It wasn't like that.
Aigoo, really.
I got it, I got it. I got it...
Aigoo, really.
[Phone call from lovely Kkang Tong]
Can't answer the call now, please leave a message after the tone.
It's me.
Yesterday I accidentally heard that you aren't feeling well,
that you're ill.
Do you know?
I won't bother you,
I'm only asking you to go with me and check it out at hospital.
Oh, Hyung.
Do you know where Eun Nim went to, in the country-side?
Ask Nan Jung, maybe she knows.
Why are you asking this all of a sudden?
I have something urgent, but I can't get hold of her.
What? Liju?
Um, the apartment nearby the elementary school?
This is the country-side, so there's only one apartment building here.
Excuse me,
Which house just moved in yesterday?
It looks like second floor 202 just moved in yesterday.
Thank you.
Isn't this the place?
Seriously, where is she hiding now?
It's me.
Go Eun Nim.
Stay right there!
Don't run away. Go Eun Nim.
What do you mean you're doing fine?
Why are you pretending to be well when you have deadly illness?
They say she's not well. Should we take Yoo bin to pay a visit?
You suffered for my greed.
I didn't always dislike you, I loved you sometimes.
Can I have you stay by my side till you die?
Can't I do that?
I'm the one who needs you! I'm the one!
