Hey. Charming, aren't you hungry? Let's go eat.
Gim Seon Yeong. Gim Seon Yeong.
Gim Seon Yeong.
Gim Seon Yeong. Are you alright?
Please wake up!
Chairman. If the patient loses consciousness one more time,
you have to send her here as soon as possible. And you should be prepared for the worst.
Do you understand what I mean?
Gim Seon Yeong. Gim Seon Yeong
Who? Who? Who will come and help me?
Come, please help me.
Your mother, Gim Seon Yeong, has a brain tumor.
So, how can this be?
How is it that I'm the only person who doesn't know?
Chairman. Je Ha. You all know.
And I, as a daughter...
I, as a daughter, how can I not know about it?
Charming,
you really are a great woman.
How could you...
From the beginning until now, you have constantly shocked me.
So, that's why I like you.
Charming. Charming.
Can you hear my voice?
The world you're in right now is very dark. You must be pretty scared, right?
That too... don't be too scared.
I will always be here to hold your hand.
I won't let you lose your way.
I... will always be here to hold your hand.
So, come back quickly.
Hurry back.
Charming.
We... cannot travel around the world... but at least we can travel around the country together.
We'll... hold hands just like this and travel together.
Gim Seon Yeong.
With me.
Marry me, okay?
I will protect you well.
From now onwards, you can't go anywhere unless you have my permission.
My mother has already left me.
You cannot leave me too.
You should come back to us, quickly.
So, you should come back.
Come back.
Quickly. Quickly come back.
Are you okay?
Wake up!
Charming.
Are you awake?
I don't want to.
I am not Pak Jeong Do.
I am Choi Go Man.
Dog trafficker ajussi. ( ajussi - older man/uncle)
Where are we?
This is in the car.
Are we in the car?
I thought you didn't like cars that have tops.
So this is a car with a bed
A car with a bed.
That damned woodpecker is still pecking?
No, it is not.
My head feels a little strange.
How strange?
Dog trafficker ajussi and I were eating ice cream before.
But when I opened my eyes. I'm in this car.
Recently, I've been quite absent-minded,
so I'm a little ill at ease.
Are you like this often?
Yes, that's right.
Even if I am a fool,
I was never like this in the past.
This. What is this?
Just... just... now on the streets we drew a prize and won.
1 thousand dollars?
To draw a prize?
But, how come I don't remember any of this?
Dog trafficker ajussi drew out such a beautiful ring for me.
But how come I can't recall any of it.
Don't worry too much.
Everyone's like that when they get old.
So I'm like this because I'm old?
Do you know what I'm like?
I'm always brushing my teeth. Constantly brushing my teeth.
I lower my head a little and take a look, no cavities.
Do you know what's going on?
I use my toothbrush to scratch my back.
You even shocked me.
Oh, that.
That's because dog trafficker ajussi is also an idiot.
Is that it?
So, Charming and I are in harmony?
Yes, we are.
My mother.
Where's my mother now?
She was too tired. She's gone to sleep.
When did you know about it?
3, 4 days ago.
So why didn't you tell me during those 3 to 4 days?
It is because...
What's the reason?
Because my mother is a fool...
and you thought she wouldn't live long
so you decided to up your sense of responsibility?
Or did you want to become the head of our household?
I am sorry.
I was afraid that after you found out,
that your heart wouldn't be able to take it.
Even if I couldn't take it, the one to suffer would have been me.
Even if Chairman really treasures my mother,
this isn't something that Chairman can meddle with.
During spring holidays,
what did Chairman say to me?
Didn't you want my mother to marry you?
And let Chairman become a member of our family?
But how can a member of the family act like this?
When a family member is facing troubles, we share the burden. And get through the tough times together.
Deciding something on your own, does that sound like someone who's part of the family?
To Chairman, does this seems like the actions of a family member?
Does Chairman want us to be that kind of family?
The kind where you can just discard it's members?
It that's the case, I don't want Chairman to be part of our family.
No matter what, I will find a way to cure mother's illness.
No, even if I can't cure it,
I will also protect her until her time is up.
The one and only in the world
because she is to me, the only mother in the whole world.
I'm sorry. It turns out, we really should not have come to Chairman's house.
Gim Yeong Joo.
I am sorry.
Your mother's chemotherapy treatment requires a guardian.
And, don't you need one as well?
So, I don't care how you feel about the matter, I'm going to settle it.
I'm really, really sorry.
But, Gim Yeong Joo,
whether it's you or your mother, you have all become people that I truly treasure.
We only just started now. We only just started now.
Mother, how could you be such a fool and get this kind of illness?
Is it because I didn't go see you before and that's why you're like this?
You just waited for me
whenever the pear flowers bloom.
You strenuously waited for the selfish me. Is that why you got sick?
Mother. The things that I want to do with you,
I haven't done any single one of those things.
I haven't even arranged a birthday banquet for you.
I and Dat Byeol also had not even once worn the beautiful hanboks and celebrated New Year's Day with you. ( hanbok - traditional Korean dress )
I only know how to accept your love,
not even once have I told you that I love you.
Yeong Joo. Is my Yeong Joo crying?
I just heard the sound of Yeong Joo crying.
Mother Gop Dan, help me turn on the light.
Just now, I thought I heard Yeong Joo crying.
I can't see because it's too dark.
Just now, I clearly heard the sound of Yeong Joo's crying.
I heard Yeong Joo's crying voice.
Chairman, I have something I need to say to you.
Go ahead.
Chairman, you have a lot of money, right?
Use that money and help me find a heart.
Help me find a healthy heart.
Even if I live longer than my pitiful mother for just one day.
No. I just want to live a day longer than her.
Chairman, I beg you to help me find a heart.
If you can do that for me, until the day I die, I will repay Chairman's benevolence no matter what.
No, even if I die, I will also repay Chairman's benevolence.
I will serve Chairman as though he is my father.
So I'm begging you to help me find a heart.
I understand. I'll help you look.
I will help you find her a heart.
Even if I have to search the whole world,
I will definitely find her a heart.
I'll help you keep living and I'll also make sure that your mother survives as well.
I will work hard to look for it.
Please, you must do that for us.
Chairman. I don't want to die.
I absolutely will not leave my mother behind and die before her.
We must all survive.
I want the whole family to survive.
Pak Jeong Do. How did you say it to me?
Of the people that I know, prosecutors, police,
you would get all the people you know to mobilize
to help me look for my Su Hyeon. Isn't that right?
Honourable Father-in-law.
The police and the prosecutors say that they can only find Su Hyeon if he has done something against the law.
Honourable Father-in-law's son, Su Hyeon is a model youth.
Because he doesn't have a criminal record, they have no record of him.
O Chae Rin. Pak Jeong Do.
Do you feel that if I find Su Hyeon, that I will then treat you coldly?
So even if you found out, you wouldn't tell. Right?
You were already treating us coldly, how much more coldly could you treat us?
If we found out, how could we not tell you?
Anyway,
I don't care what methods you have to use. No matter what, you must find Su Hyeon.
Do you understand?
Honorable Father-in-law, I wanted to consult you on a matter.
I'll go to Chairman's house and ask Dat Byeol whether or not they can proceed more quickly.
Since this option is open to us, why are we doing things the hard way?
I feel that this method will yield better results.
That method will get better results?
Yes, that's right.
Why are you lifting such heavy items?
That, you are that doctor right?
Yes, Chairman.
This holiday trip will not affect Lady Gim's health, will it?
Since Yeong Joo and herself are so happy,
I think going on this trip will be beneficial.
Furthermore, once the chemotherapy starts,
she won't be able to do anything.
I'll have to trouble you with those two then.
Not at all. To be able to go with them really makes me happy.
Dog trafficker ajussi. We're leaving now.
Charming, I still remember all things you didn't make me for lunch and dinner.
I will definitely remember all those things and I'll make sure you make them for me to eat in the future.
You must remember.
I got it.
- Seon Yeong. Please sit - Make sure you do what you're told.
We're leaving now.
Come, Yeong Joo.
Bye.
That Charming, even empty words are also good.
Why didn't they ask me if I wanted to go along with them?
Since one person is already going. Since one person is already going.
Ah, your personality is really...
Dog trafficker ajussi, let's go wash the dishes together.
Housekeeper Gim ajussi, do you want to get beaten by this again?
I don't want to.
Dat Byeol. Dat Byeol.
Chairman, have you been doing well lately?
That Pak Jeong Do still really loves Dat Byeol.
Do you think that he only came to see Dat Byeol?
Don't you agree?
If he really came just to see Dat Byeol, don't you think he would have brought a gift of red ginseng tea?
Ah, yes, giving a child red ginseng tea is a little bit over the top, isn't it?
Maybe it's because Gim Yeong Joo's body is not well and that's why he brought it over?
You idiot. You're so stupid.
Just wait and see. After 6, 7 minutes or so, he'll ask to speak with me.
So after 6, 7 minutes, he'll ask to speak with you. Are you sure?
I'm 80 percent certain.
Eighty percent. Okay.
If he does ask to speak with me, how should I receive him?
Is there no better method?
Move aside.
That's what I'm talking about.
What is it?
A mountain is a mountain. And water is just water.
Yeong Joo. Your friend, is he a doctor?
Huh? What's wrong?
Compared to dog trafficker ajussi, he has more money right?
Why do you think that?
Because dog trafficker ajussi has no money.
As he's always driving a car without a roof.
But your friend's car, has a roof on top.
What?
Why are you laughing?
Nothing, mother. What you said is true.
Je Ha, help me open the car's sunroof.
Yes, my lady. I will do as you command.
Oh, heavens. The car's roof just opened by itself.
Yeong Joo, can I look outside from there?
Yes, go ahead and take a look.
Yeong Joo, the wind feels really nice here.
You come here and try it too.
Now listen to my daughter. Talk to her.
Dat Byeol, come here a moment and see this.
It's your teacher from the United States, but she can't speak Korean.
You take the call. Hurry.
Hello. This is Pak Dat Byeol.
I happen to have a great mentor in (South) Korea.
So I don't see any point of me going to the US.
I am sorry,
but I'd rather live here, taking care of my mom.
Dat Byeol, what nonsense were you talking about?
Why do you want to stay in Korea?
Appa, don't you know mother's circumstance? ( appa - father )
Do you not know what's wrong with mother's heart? And why are you like this?
Pak Dat Byeol, you can think of me as heartless or cold.
But just because you're here, do you think your mother's illness will automatically be cured?
That her heart will get better?
It won't, right?
Then what do you want to do for your mother?
You have to work hard and become a great person. Let your mother be proud of you.
That should be the only thing that you should do, isn't it?
What kind of person is a great person?
While mother is sick,
I wouldn't care about anything other than studying.
Is that what you consider a great person?
Dat Byeol, I know what you're feeling.
You're still young,
but as your father I am obliged to decide what is the right thing to do.
Abandoning mother and not caring. Is that the right thing to do, father?
Father feels that it is.
No. I will not study overseas.
Even if I'll go, I will only go if mother comes with me.
When mother's illness gets better at that time, then I will go.
Dat Byeol. Dat Byeol!
Dat Byeol, I really can't face up to you.
But because you're like this, only then can I say, thank you, daughter.
Housekeeper Gim, can I see the Chairman for a moment?
Why? What's the matter?
It's regarding Dat Byeol. I want to negotiate something with him.
Really?
But, how do i do this? If you want to meet with our Chairman, there are procedures to be followed.
Procedure? What procedure?
A mountain is a mountain. And water is water.
Bow down... 300 times?
3000 times?
Our Chairman has never liked meeting with unruly types.
If you feel that you cannot do it, then forget it.
No, no, I'll do it.
You tell him. If it's 3000 times, even if it's 10,000 times I will still do it.
There, can I do it in front of there?
Mother, are you happy that you're back home?
Yeong Joo. Mother Gop Dan seems to be feeling great about being back.
She's even smiling and laughing.
I am also happy, mother.
I'm also ecstatic.
Yeong Joo. You and doctor should go around together then come back.
I'll go find some clothes for us.
Do you want me to help you?
No need, hurry and go.
What are you still doing here? Hurry and go already.
I understand. Let's go.
Mother Gop Dan,
Yeong Joo and that doctor, don't you think they are a good match?
Good match. They really are a good match.
Yes, very well matched.
Our Yeong Joo should quickly forget about that Pak son-in-law person.
If she can be together with such a good person like him, that is good.
1761
Forget all of your selfish desires.
Pak Jeong Do, just these 3000 bows of respect and you're already tired.
Do you want to return to that destitute, stricken village?
No, I cannot. Absolutely cannot.
Let your heart become pure and clean.
Yeong Joo, isn't that smoke coming from your house?
I'll go over first, you take your time.
No. I'm alright.
Mom.
Yeong Joo, why are you back so soon?
Mother, are you alright? Did anything happen?
Something? There's nothing.
Ahh... I wanted to cook
and wanted to make some fermented soya bean soup.
But the firewood seems to be wet, that's why there is so much smoke.
You must have been scared, right?
No, I'm alright.
You must be hungry, just wait a while longer.
After mother Gop Dan is finished washing, we'll eat right away.
Mother, let's go out and eat.
How can we do that?
An important person is here, how can we just eat street foods?
Although the food won't be delicious, at least we let him have a home cooked meal.
Doctor, please wait a while longer.
Yes, Auntie.
Mother, put your hand in here.
It's scalding.
It's scalding, you rotten girl.
Really? Then I'll add some cold water in.
Is it alright now?
Yes, give it to me.
Give it to me.
Our mother Gop Dan's hand, why is it so beautiful?
Just like a bride's hand.
Really, this girl.
It's ready.
How is it our Yeong Joo's hands are so small? So pretty.
Let me touch, Touch.
Yeong Joo, you rotten girl.
You're already how old and you're still letting sister Seon Yeong help you wash.
I'm helping her wash, only because I want to. Right, Yeong Joo?
Yes.
It's because sister Seon Yeong wants to help me wash, then I let her do it.
Don't lie.
I just heard you ask sister Seon Yeong to help you wash.
I heard it all.
Yes, right.
You brat.
You'll pass as a trickster.
Je Ha,
my mother will always be dedicated to other people her whole life.
Yet, how is she so happy?
She lives her whole life like that. Doesn't she feel wronged?
I feel that she's very happy.
Doctor,
how much further until we can see the ocean?
Another 5 minutes and we'll have arrived.
Yes?
Yeong Joo, just another 5 minutes and we'll be at the seaside.
I heard it too, mother.
Mother, why did you want to go to the seaside at that time?
The time when mother Gop Dan found out and you couldn't go.
At that time...
I secretly looked at your diary.
Yeong Joo, you wrote that you wanted to see the ocean.
So, you did it because you wanted to let me see the ocean?
At that time Yeong Joo, everywhere around you there were mountains.
And when you raised your head, you could only see the blue sky.
So I wanted to let you see the vast expanse of the blue sea.
I wanted to let you know that other than your idiot sister,
there is also a very big world out there.
Even if it was just once, I also wanted to be a mother and not just an older sister.
And starting from now, I can and will be able to do it.
From now onwards, just be my mother to your heart's content.
The longer you live, the better. Live until I become an old granny.
Mother must also continue to be my mother.
Of course.
If our Yeong Joo will let me do it, of course, I will do it.
Isn't that right?
1... 2... 3.
Omo! ( Omo - oh dear, oh my god )
Let's go. One. Two. Three.
Come, sit.
Okay.
Have a seat.
Gim Yeong Joo, are you not pushing yourself a little too hard?
What's wrong with pushing myself?
Nothing, I must be like this.
It's the ocean that my foolish mother wants me to see.
Je Ha, how is my mother?
Does she look happy?
Yes.
Like you. Oh no, even happier than you.
That's good.
How are you feeling?
Very good.
I am feeling very good. Extremely good.
If you are feeling good, I'm very happy.
But you cannot skip out on a health examination. Let me examine you.
I don't want to. Forget it.
I don't want to spoil the current atmosphere.
I want to play happily with mother.
Yeong Ju.
Je Ha, I don't know when I can come here next with my mother.
Mother.
Yeong Ju.
Mom.
Are you okay with that?
What are you working on?
I'm writing words.
Mother is really amazing.
I love you.
What did you want to speak to me about?
I heard Chairman, you wanted to buy all of my father-in-law's part of the University of South Korea.
And...
After you buy the University, please let me continue being a Professor at the law school.
Then what can you do for me?
I will withdraw the divorce lawsuit against Gim Yeong Joo.
Go on.
If Chairman can guarantee me a position,
not only will I withdraw the lawsuit,
but also before Dat Byeol goes and studies abroad,
I will let her live with Yeong Joo.
These are your conditions?
In Chairman's eyes, I may not even appear to be human.
But if I lose my position as the head of the law department, then I will have absolutely nothing left.
Just for that pathetic position as a Professor,
you're willing to bet your wife and your daughter?
A position as a Professor may not seem much in Chairman's eyes,
but to me, I think it's more important than life itself.
If Chairman doesn't like it,
then I'll continue with Dat Byeol's custodial lawsuit.
Then Dat Byeol will be raised by me...
because I am Dat Byeol's biological father.
I will think about your proposal. Go back.
Please contact me after you decide.
Chairman, how is it there are people like that in the world?
Just fire him, Chairman.
He knows I made Gim Yeong Joo my god daughter.
This fellow, Pak Jeong Do,
wants to use my Choi Go Man's method to deal with this.
I'll let him dig his own grave.
I'm so happy.
I'm also happy.
I'm very happy!
I also very happy.
Gim Yeong Joo, my daughter.
Gim Seon Yeong, my mother.
I love you.
Mother, who gave you the ring?
This?
It's a 10 dollar ring from the stationery shop that dog trafficker ajussi bought for me.
Do you want it?
Mother, you can't just easily give away rings.
Why not?
Because it's a gift from someone.
This is a ring that Chairman gave to mother in proposal for marriage.
So you must treasure it.
Propose? What is propose?
It means Chairman wants to get married to mother.
And is seriously asking your intentions.
Is...is it that kind of a ring?
Then I cannot wear this.
He said he bought it at the stationery shop for me and that's why I'm wearing it.
This dog trafficker ajussi!
Doesn't mother like Chairman?
I have already wished many times. Wished that Chairman was my father.
When I'm at my most weary, he took me in.
He listened to what I had to say. He encouraged me.
A father that tells me everything.
If mother doesn't hate it,
I really hope that Chairman can be my father.
Yeong Joo
Does mother have not any intentions toward Chairman at all?
It's not that I don't have any feelings for him...
What's the reason then?
Actually, I...
have something that I can't let go of.
The time when I wanted to return home after being scolded by you,
Dog trafficker ajussi said to me,
"you changed my feelings. You should be responsible for your actions until the very end."
He asked me why I was so irresponsible.
That statement, I have never been able to forget it.
Furthermore, I heard dog trafficker ajussi is sick.
While dog trafficker ajussi is still alive,
I want to be responsible for his food and drink.
Then mother will make meals for Chairman?
It's not something difficult to do.
Then mother after we return to Seoul,
and Chairman asks Lady Gim Charming, will you prepare meals for me for the rest of my life?
How will you answer?
If I'm asked those words,
I would say, there's nothing difficult about it, I'll do it.
Then mother accepts Chairman's marriage proposal.
It's not like that.
I am...
If mother wears a wedding dress, it should really look nice.
How troublesome. Wearing a wedding dress?
The sun's setting. Let's go back.
Looks like my mother also knows how to feel shy.
Come mother, hold my hand.
Yeong Joo, when the woodpecker is here, I can see two of you.
Yeong Joo, can't you just stay there?
You keep moving here and there. I can't grab your hand.
Mom! Mom!
Are you alright?
Mother, mother, mother!
- Gim Seon Yeong - Mom.
Gim Seon Yeong. Can you hear my voice?
- Mom. Mom. Mom - Gim Seon Yeong. Gim Seon Yeong.
Has she recovered yet? Hasn't she regained consciousness?
She just woke up.
But now, she sleeps for a moment then she wakes for a moment again.
I'll contact a good hospital. You just hurry up and get there. Hurry.
Yes, Chairman.
Gim Yeong Joo, don't worry too much. Your mother will surely survive.
Alright. I understand. I understand, Chairman.
Oppa! (Oppa - older brother, boyfriend)
That person we saw at the concert, he was poppa's father, right?
I think so.
Then oppa will never want to meet his father again?
I'm still not sure yet.
Oppa, what do you consider to be family?
What?
The father that helped bring me into this world.
I'm guessing that is how you consider your father and yourself to be of the same family, right?
Maybe.
But why do I feel like my father is an outsider?
And instead, I feel as though grandmother,
Grandfather Chairman and Housekeeper Gim are more like family?
Why is it when mother was sick,
the people that worried about her, comforted her, was not father, but instead was someone else?
Who is my real family, oppa?
Oppa, is also not clear right now, I'm not sure if I can make a clear distinction.
But, someone that truly cherishes, that shows concern and care is who I consider family, right?
That way, you'll develop a new family, right?
Patient Gim Seon Yeong, we're beginning the endoscopic brain biopsy. -= endoscopic brain biopsy - minimally invasive diagnostic procedure thru insertion of camera into the brain and taking a sample of the brain tissue to determine abnormalities e.g non or malignancy of tumors etc. =-
They've started the operation already?
Yes, they redid the CT scan as well as the MRI. -=CT scan - computed tomography; cross sectional scanning procedure/images more in depth than X-ray. MRI - magnetic resonance imaging; to visualize internal parts of the body in detail=-
Close to the forehead, they will perform a craniotomy to confirm the site of the tumor. -= craniotomy - surgical cut in the skull to gain access to brain =-
This is because we have to accurately locate the tumor in order to commence chemotherapy.
Is the surgeon in charge of this procedure, Doctor Lee Je Ha?
That's right.
Starting the operation now.
Electric saw.
Gim Yeong Joo.
Chairman, I accomplished absolutely nothing at all.
I wanted my mother to be happy. I wanted her to be happy and that's why I took her traveling.
But I didn't do anything.
It's alright. Everything will be alright.
The biopsy results surrounding the tumor
have come back as a definite diagnosis for a malignant tumor.
If we start chemotherapy, how much longer can she live?
A patient with a malignant tumor who undergo concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy,
at best, will have another 2 years to live.
That means there's still hope, right?
Don't be too worried. What kind of person is your mother?
Don't worry. Don't worry.
Charming.
Why are you out here?
Hurry up and go back. Quickly.
Father, can't I wait a while longer then go back?
Gim Seon Yeong.
What did you just say?
Can't I play with Yeong Joo a little longer, then I'll go with father?
Now, our Yeong Joo has agreed to call me mother.
So if I can't hear it 1000 times, then just 100 times will be fine.
Can't I go with father after I hear the sound of Yeong Joo calling me mother?
Okay or not.
-=Next Episode Preview=-
My mother is really very beautiful.
Is it true that Chairman and your Grandmother want to hold a wedding?
Yes. What's wrong?
A contract for giving up my custodial rights.
I will support my granddaughter well in your stead.
Please look after her well.
No matter what happens to me, I'll still be your mother.
So you want to hold on to her?
To be honest, yes, I think I can hold on to her.
Mother's hand is a healing hand.
Can't you understand that?
Do not understand what?
I'm begging you to please save my mother.
I will definitely save your mother's heart.
