Tell me honestly.
I'm all right.
I can take it.
I have already been through everything.
Nothing scares me anymore.
Tell me.
Please?
Tell you what?
Believe me. I am telling you the truth.
Your surgery went very well.
Sung Moon.
Really.
Everybody goes through something like this after surgery.
Ask yourself, then. I already confirmed everything with the doctor.
Why?
- Let go! - Why? Where are you going?
Let go of me.
Honey.
Uh, Maeng Soon Yi.
Doctor,
tell me honestly.
Why don't you come in and sit?
Why am I in such a pain?
If the surgery went well,
why can't I live a second without painkillers?
Tell me honestly.
Tell me what's going on with me.
Tell me what's wrong.
Please? Don't I have a right to know, too?
Calm down and sit.
Why do I still have symptoms?
No.
It's gotten worse now, and I can't bear the pain for even a second without painkillers.
Please tell me truthfully what's going on with me.
Uh,
that...
It's just an aftereffect of the surgery.
I put you on painkillers to ease the pain.
Don't worry.
Is it true?
The...
did the surgery really go well?
Of course.
We successfully took out the tumor.
What's left is anticancer treatment.
And everybody goes through pain,
when they're recuperating from surgery.
It depends on the person,
some people suffer less,
some people suffer more than others.
Really? You mean it?
Yes. Everyone goes through this stage.
Don't worry.
It's all part of the healing process.
Then...
Will I live then?
Am I going to live?
See?
Why couldn't you believe me?
I told you it went well.
Even the doctor says so.
You should be strong,
and be hopeful.
Sung Moon!
What are you doing here? What brings you here?
I asked him to come.
Gee... what's all this?
Cancer? Surgery?
What's going on?
What is all this?
I couldn't believe what you told me over the phone.
You were okay only a few days ago.
I know.
I guess you never know.
The family seems to think you are on a trip.
I have something to talk to you about.
Here, your hospital charges for surgery
and accommodations are covered by insurance.
Will it be paid quickly?
Of course. As soon as the paper is submitted.
This is why you have insurance.
Thank you.
Don't say that. I'm just doing my work.
I'm sorry I didn't die.
If I did, you would have been able to collect the insurance money.
Don't joke about stuff like that.
So, did the surgery go well?
Of course. It was successful.
All that is left is to receive treatments to prevent a relapse.
Man... you went through a lot.
I hope you will recover soon.
Anyway, why didn't you share it with the family?
How could we have known if you didn't tell us?
Yeah, right. Family?
Why would I tell them anything,
when they wouldn't care even if I just disappeared one day?
They would probably celebrate if I died.
Honey.
- Won Man. - Yes.
Please take care of this. I appreciate it.
Don't worry. Go and take a rest.
Oh my! Oh, my goodness.
Hey, how did you?
How did you come here?
Did you come back to your senses,
now that Mi Ja has betrayed you?
All that matters right now is making sure that she lives.
Yes, you're right.
But she's really something.
How could she not say anything,
and come here alone for surgery?
Hey, if you think about it...
About the insurance matter, she did the right thing.
See, she had insurance for a case like this.
She's really something. Gee...
She never missed a payment by working part time.
I didn't know she had life insurance, too.
Remember?
Don't you remember when I begged you to buy life insurance?
Remember that time? Do you remember what you said to me?
You said that it's useless.
You said why should I get it,
for someone else's benefit?
Damn. I can tell you now but I was really disappointed in you.
I thought you would have bought one even if I didn't ask for it.
- Enough. - Enough what?
Your wife bought it from me without any hesitation.
She listed you as the beneficiary in case of death.
Doesn't it default to your spouse anyway?
No, it's up to the insured.
No wonder you guys are siblings! Your sister is just like you.
Look at your sister. When I suggested insurance,
she refused. She said,
I will remarry,
if she dies and leave me money.
But you know what your wife said?
She said,
if it will help you and the kids,
she would feel better.
She said she wouldn't mind dying if it helps you and the kids.
I started to see her differently then.
Why didn't' you tell me this before?
Come on. You were blinded by your affair.
It's not like you would have listened to me anyway.
You must be disappointed.
Death insurance pays nicely.
The wife you loath passes away,
leaving you a huge sum of money.
How lucky can you be?
It's like winning the lottery.
- What? - If you say
nasty stuff like that again,
I'll kill you. All right?
I was kidding. A joke.
Don't joke about her life.
All right. Okay. All right.
Don't say anything to the family yet.
You must have come back to your senses by now.
What then?
Are you guys getting back together then?
I don't know.
You may want to since you don't even have a place to go to.
But the way I saw it,
she was really cold to you.
Go now.
I'm going.
He's something.
He's really something.
Why can't I stay at your place for a while?
You can't be alone right now.
You need someone to take care of you.
And I can't.
We can hire a temporary nurse.
Why hire someone?
Your husband wants to take care of you.
I don't want to be with him.
Every time I see him, it brings back the nightmare.
How could he come back to me,
after what he did to me?
Just because that woman left him?
I find that repulsive.
He disgusts me. He makes me sick.
- That's not it. - What is it, then?
Think of it another way.
Consider him a free servant,
and make him do everything you want.
Didn't you say you wanted a copy of him,
so you could punish him and beat him up?
He's here now.
Punish him and beat him up.
Do as you wish.
I don't want to anymore.
Why is he being nice to me?
What's the reason?
Yes.
Can we talk, Doctor?
I was about to leave.
Let's go.
I am...
really grateful, Doctor.
You did the difficult surgery,
and talked to my wife kindly.
I can't express how thankful I am.
You know, doctors lie sometimes.
For being rude before,
I am truly sorry.
I was too emotional.
I understand.
Doctor...
What can I do, now that...
she will be discharged tomorrow?
Is there...
really nothing...
I can do besides watch her die?
Tell me,
what I can do.
I have to make her live.
She is...
She is the most pitiful woman in the world.
I can't let her go like this.
Doctor,
is there really nothing I can do?
I will do anything.
I will donate my body if that helps.
I am sorry.
But there is nothing more that can be done medically.
I feel bad, too.
All we can do now...
is pray.
There are internet chat rooms for family members
of cancer patients.
It helps to exchange information,
and comfort each other there.
Check it out.
It will help you.
Actually...
Honestly, what's most realistically important,
is how she spends her last days, with the least amount of pain.
She needs her family.
Much more so,
don't forget that miracles do happen.
I believe in miracles, even though I'm a doctor.
There have been patients
who lived past their prognosis.
Really?
There have been cases like that?
Here, come in.
I thought...
I would never come back here again.
Go inside.
I changed the room decorations.
- Do you like it? - You couldn't change
the person, too?
What?
I won't repeat since I don't have much strength.
I said I like the new room,
but I am not happy about the person next to me since he hasn't changed.
You must be okay if you can joke now.
You didn't think I would be okay?
I have to be otherwise it's unfair.
But... How much money did you spend on this?
Do you have money to waste on stuff like this?
Are you...
spending the money I entrusted to you before the surgery?
Give it back to me.
You can't take back what has been given.
I never gave it to you. I entrusted it to you.
I'll manage it now. Give it back.
Don't worry. I'll give it back to you.
Get some rest first. Don't overdo it.
I won't.
I am going to live like a princess from now on.
No one will care if I get sick except me.
You're right.
No one will care.
I have a favor to ask.
Try to not touch me.
Okay.
You're not planning to sleep next to me, are you?
What?
Sleep outside. I don't even want to hear your breathing.
Okay. I won't breathe.
Go to sleep now. Please?
Couldn't you have taken that picture down too?
What?
I have to look at it when I lie here.
I don't want to see it again. Take it off.
I have nothing to replace it.
Can't you wait until I can find something to replace it?
Where are you guys?
I heard you come back.
Don't. Stay here and go to sleep. Stay in bed.
Mom, let's talk outside.
How dare she stay in bed when I am here?
Like an appendectomy is a big deal.
Stop it.
What? What did I do?
Let's leave and talk.
Please, do as I say.
Why are you acting like this?
Isn't Soon Yi back yet?
She wouldn't even get up when I came over.
What has the world come to?
She wouldn't even get up?
Please leave her alone. She's really sick.
Like it's a big deal to have an appendectomy.
And what's up with that room?
- What about the room? - It's all changed,
with new curtain and bedding like a queen's room.
It's so luxurious, I couldn't stop staring.
Did she threaten that she wouldn't let you come back otherwise?
No way. She must be out of her mind.
Out of her mind?
You should do all you can to please her so she will live with you again.
Let me ask you, now that she mentioned it.
Are you going to reconcile with her?
Of course, he should.
He doesn't have any place to go.
Beg on your knees,
if you have to.
Can you shut up?
You tell me.
I'm trying to.
Did she agree to live with you again?
I'm trying to win her back.
Stupid. You fool.
Good for you.
Now you have to live trying to please her for the rest of your life.
It's a shame to our family.
Anyway, leave her alone for now.
And Mom, take care of the kids for a while, too.
Why?
So much fuss over an appendectomy!
Is she the only one who had an operation?
You had an operation, too?
Do you think appendectomies are the only type of operation?
I had a C-section when I delivered Uk Man.
You don't even know what it's like.
Oh my,
why did you need an operation?
You should have had a natural birth.
Enough!
[Maeng Soon Yi's Second Life] [Morning walk]

[Work out]
What are you doing?
Can't you tell? It's spicy rice cake.
You shouldn't do stuff like this yet.
Go and lie down.
It's done.
It's almost time for the kids to come home.
I should get them something.
We can order in.
I will take care of the kids' snacks from now on.
You don't have to worry about it.
Don't you realize how weird you are acting?
It's not like you. Act normally.
Why are you being nice all of a sudden?
We're home.
Mom!
Oh my, my angels.
- Are you coming back from school? - Yes!
We missed you.
I really missed you, too.
Are you okay now?
- It doesn't hurt? - Of course.
- Uh? Spicy rice cake! Spicy rice cake! - Let's eat.
Eat, let's eat.
Okay, let's eat.
Drink water with it.
Mom's spicy rice cake is the best.
Mom, ah...
Mmmm.
Here. Yum, yum.
Honey, why don't you get insurance, too?
What insurance?
Life insurance.
It will help my sales record too. Let's both get it just in case.
You get the money if I die,
and I get the money if you die.
Are you crazy?
It makes sense that I get the money when you die.
But why would I leave any money to you,
so you can get another wife?
And there is no way I will die
before you anyway. Stop dreaming.
Stop it.
Who knows what will happen in the future?
After what happened, it seems like it's just a matter of time with life.
- Something happened? - I mean Soon Yi.
It was fortunate she had insurance to cover the medical expenses.
Otherwise, it would have been a lot of money out of her pocket.
Appendectomies are that expensive?
It wasn't for appendicitis.
It wasn't?
Yes.
It's not appendicitis.
It's called...
vermiform appendix.
- Vermiform appendix? - Never mind. Don't bother.
What's most important now is how well she finishes her life,
without pain.
She needs her family.
[Ginseng Porridge]
Where's the rice?
Why?
I am going to make you the healthiest meal.
Stay in bed.
You don't know how to cook.
I could if I try to.
Just tell me where the rice is at.
You ate rice every day for ten years!
You don't even know where the rice is at?
I know.
It's in the pantry.
Okay.
By the way, how much for two people?
One cup!
Again, okay.
Where is the pot?
Under the sink, the bottom drawer.
Under the sink. Okay?
Open up drawers if you can't find things.
Do you have to ask me every time?
I know. Honey,
one more thing.
Where's the salt?
It's next to the pot drawer.
Okay. Okay. Don't get upset.
It won't do you any good.
Is there any chance you will tell me where the soy sauce is at too?
Stop it.
I'd rather do it myself.
Where are you going?
Morning walk.
Walk?
It's too soon to be exercising.
Didn't I tell you not to touch me?
It's better to start moving a bit.
I am going to follow my schedule.
I need a regular routine.
Do it when you get better.
It's too soon.
Don't mind me.
Then, wait just a little until I make the ginseng potage.
Eat it and go with me. Okay?
I told you before.
I don't want to be with you.
See? I told you it's too soon.
Sit here.
Here, drink it.
Here are your pills.
This is Maeng Young Yi.
The new products are well displayed here.
I will send you the pictures I just took.
Yes, I will look around more before I go back in.
What's the most popular item now?
Many people are buying moisturizers
- since it's fall. - I see.
From now on, email me sales reports by categorization,
- every month. - Yes.
And collect comments on customer experiences
and complaints.
Yes, I will.
Give me the most popular item here.
Oh, yes.
Oh, my. Who's this?
Isn't it Young Yi?
We meet again.
Are you a stalker?
Let's say, I'm your fan.
You must really have nothing else to do.
What? Nothing else to do?
I am very busy person.
I am going to China this week for a seminar.
I came to buy a gift for my mom.
Just briefly.
Hello? Can I go to China?
Why are you asking me?
Because you will miss me if you don't see me for days.
What can I do? Should I give you a picture of me?
Don't play with me.
I'm telling you. You will miss me like crazy,
since you got used to seeing me every day.
See? Looks like you will miss me.
Right?
- See you then. - Goodbye.
- Sir, here. - Yes. Bye.
I heard your sister was discharged.
How is she?
- Not so well. - Why not bring her to our hospital?
No, not me. My dad is very good.
I will mention you to him,
so you will be welcome anytime you want to come.
Do you still have the name card I gave you?
What's this?
Maeng Soon Yi's Second Life.
It's my second life schedule.
I want to do everything I always wanted to.
Didn't I make a good schedule?
Yes.
I'm going to learn new skills, too.
Skills?
Yes, beauty skills.
Wouldn't it be great if I got a license and opened up my own hair salon?
I'm going to live proudly as a working woman.
I already called and registered at the beauty school.
Unni.
Why do you want to learn stuff like that now?
Do you know how tough it is?
The chemicals for the hair perms aren't good for you.
Your health could deteriorate.
No.
Even the doctor said I will be okay.
He said it's important
that I live with hopeful thoughts.
I'm going to
open up a hair salon,
and make a lot of money.
Then later, I'm going to travel around the world
as scheduled.
By then, Hee Mang and So Mang
would have gotten married and have their own family.
Then I'm going to travel freely, without any worries.
I will travel in style.
I'm so happy just thinking about it.
Young Yi,
you never know what life has in store for you.
It's good that I got sick.
What do you mean?
See? Do you think I would have ever even thought
about stuff like this if I wasn't sick?
I would be still living the same life.
See, people should get sick at least once in their lifetime.
Right?
Did you see her schedule?
I did.
She said she will go to beauty school.
Let her do what she wants.
Hyungbu,
she doesn't have much time left.
Going to beauty school will be strenuous for her.
It might shorten the time she has.
Why do you assume she will die?
She won't die.
You have to face reality.
It's good to have hope,
but if she is overworked,
it might make her health worse.
I'm going to take her to a nursing home.
To a good place with a clean water,
and fresh air.
Like Jeju island.
I'll get her a place in a five star hotel,
so she can see the ocean and have good food every day.
I'm going to try everything I can,
whether it's herbs or folk remedies.
I found a lot of information from the internet.
There are some who got healed this way.
She might be looking for you.
Go.
- When did you come? - It's been a while.
I did the laundry and am making some kimchi.
Where did you go?
Oh, I went down to fix the heating
in a house in town.
So, how was Thailand?
What?
Yes, it was good.
Dad, next time go with me.
Go where? I'm too old.
I will only be a burden.
But you don't look too well.
My stomach doesn't feel too good.
Go see a doctor.
It's never a good idea to delay seeing a doctor.
I got tested and they said everything's fine.
I'll finish soon. Why don't you go inside?
I still have left over kimchi.
Don't make more.
Dad, I know how much you like fresh kimchi.
Soon Yi! Soon Yi!
Hey! Soon Yi!
- Yes, this is Maeng Young Yi. - Young Yi, come here fast.
Soon Yi fainted. She collapsed.
What?
Take her to a hospital.
She didn't look good.
- Dad, go back in now. - Yes, Dad.
The trip must have tired me out.
That trip is killing you then.
Take her to a hospital and get some medicine at least.
Yes, I will take care of her.
I don't get you.
What do you think you're doing?
You are still a patient.
Why did you leave the house only a few days after an operation?
Do you even know what condition you are in?
What's my condition?
No, I mean...
I'm saying you're not back to normal yet.
You're still recuperating from the surgery.
It's been a while since I saw Dad.
And laundry needs to be done.
And fresh kimchi needs to be made.
Stop that.
How can you be so foolish?
Please take care of yourself first.
Don't worry about anything else
but your own health. Please, okay?
Okay. Don't get mad at me.
I'm not mad at you.
- Yes, Dad. - How is Soon Yi?
I just dropped her off at her house.
I told you to take her to the hospital and get some medicine.
She said she'll be okay after getting some sleep.
Don't worry.
Yes, bye then.
- Dad. - Oh, yes. Come in.
She really doesn't need to go to a hospital?
Yes.
It's because she's been under too much stress.
She hasn't looked good,
ever since her husband's affair.
Take her to a hospital, okay?
Yes.
Why did you come?
We already talked on the phone.
You must be busy. Get going.
Yes.
Well...
Dad.
What?
Don't let her work if she comes here again.
She shouldn't work.
Is something going on?
I should've told you earlier.
I didn't because you would get worried.
The truth is...
that she...
What?
She has stomach cancer.
What?
It was a lie that she went on a trip.
The truth is...
she had surgery.
What are you talking about?
How could she have surgery without even telling me? How could she?
What did they say at the hospital?
Did the surgery go well?
The cancer has spread to peritoneum...
They said she won't live much longer.
Won't live much longer?
How is it possible?
That's why she didn't look good.
How could her own father not even notice?
How could I?
Dad.
It's all my fault.
She's had a tough life,
since childhood.
How did I let a child?
No,
it's my fault.
I made her like this.
I won't say anything else.
Take care of Soon Yi,
and ease her mind until she dies.
I came to ask you to do that.
She won't die.
I won't let her die like this.
Don't worry, Dad.
I will make her live...
somehow.
Do everything she wants.
So she won't have any regrets.
Give her everything she wants to eat.
And take her anywhere she wants to go.
I will take care of her.
Just...
don't say anything to her.
I...
did nothing for her.
As a father, I did nothing...
for my daughter.
Do everything for her,
that I never did.
I believe in you.
She is...
the poorest thing in the world.
This is so unfair.
Why take away a poor thing like her?
I will make sure that she won't be taken away.
I have to make up for...
all the things I did to her.
I will make her live.
You can't use it.
It's because it will harm your customers.
It's not always...
It will be faster but...
Men's hair can go bad easily.
What?
I'm sorry about this.
As you know, we can't avoid the reorganization due to the merger.
You know how it works.
Manager, still...
I tried to help you,
knowing about your wife.
But it just didn't work out.
You should've taken better care of your reputation at work.
It's not just the work.
Looks like the rumors about you have reached HR, as well.
Let's have a drink...
sometime.
Sung Moon. I'm sorry, but here.
- What is it? - It's your severance package.
You're in the red,
because you had a huge loan.
What will you do?
- There! - I got you.
Gotcha!
Damn, it's not going well today.
- Sure, sure. - Let's drink.
Okay, sure. But you know what?
Hey, Mr. Maeng. Why is it that we don't see you anymore?
Here, join us for a drink.
- You won't join us for a drink? - No, thanks.
- He doesn't want a drink? - What's going on?
- He never says no to a drink. - Right.
Mr. Maeng hasn't come to buy soju for a while.
Looks like he doesn't drink anymore.
Maybe, he's taking care of himself now,
so he can remarry.
Perhaps...
- Does He have someone now? - Right, right.
- And he drinks with her? - What are you talking about?
What someone? Why would he walk around with a tool box if he is seeing someone?
Is that all you have in your mind?
But it's really weird though.
- Hello! - Yes.
Check the water pipe when you're done there.
And fix anything that needs to be fixed.
Yes.
Hello!
Doctor Jee has returned from China!
I am glad you're here.
Wow, I didn't expect you to be glad to see me.
See? I was right.
You missed me, didn't you?
Looks like you cried missing me.
It's obvious.
I have something to tell you.
Now, you are going to confess how you feel about me?
Shouldn't we go someplace else then?
Get in. I'll take you.
So I was wondering if she can be treated with oriental medicine.
Isn't there anything that will make her more comfortable?
She doesn't know her condition, then?
No.
She thinks she was granted a new life.
I can't tell her the truth.
It's unlikely that oriental medicine can cure her if the hospital gave up on her,
but we can try various folk remedies.
I will research it more.
Come to our hospital with your sister.
Ta da!
Here.
What is it?
A gift.
That's the perfume you use, right?
How did you know?
My nickname is
"Dog Nose".
If you refuse, I'm going to give you ten next time.
- Come. - What are you doing? Let go of me.
- Come. - Let go of me.
- Come.
What are you doing?
What do you think you are doing?
Is this who you are?
How can you meet just anyone?
Anyone?
Don't you think you're being a bit arrogant?
Why did you think I'm meeting anyone?
Do you think...
I'm the kind of woman who will meet anyone
on the rebound because I got hurt?
I can't watch you go down like this.
This is not like you.
I've never loved Jang Mi. I love you.
I'm going to go back to you.
You said...
the same thing four years ago.
Did you forget?
It worked back then,
because I was naive.
No,
because I believed in love.
Do you think I still believe that after what I went through?
Foolish.
Let me ask a favor.
Don't make me the villain in this situation anymore.
I don't care if you love your wife or not.
Just...
keep your promise you made on your wedding day.
To love,
in sickness and in health,
for richer or for poorer,
forever and ever.
Remember?
Young Yi.
If there is such a thing
as love,
I want to mock it.
Did you say this isn't like me?
Do you want to know what's like me?
Is this Jang Mi?
Can't you lock up your husband better?
I'm tired of this.
Watch him better and don't blame me later.
I beg of you.
Sorry. Where were we?
About the perfume.
I was saying I will be in charge of your perfume.
That's enough.
I tolerated a lot.
I tried to keep this marriage working.
But I can't do this anymore.
How could you have let me down like this again?
Honey, that's not it.
I don't want to hear excuses.
I packed your essential necessities.
I'll send you the rest once we work out the divorce.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
Bye.
- Isn't it heavy? - It's okay.
Wait.
I heard you no longer work at the bank.
I found out a few days ago when I called the bank.
Did you hate me?
I am sorry.
I know I was selfish.
But they say every man
goes back to his wife,
and his children.
I was worried that...
you would leave me and go back to your family too.
You're not a cold hearted person.
You could never leave your wife.
Even if I didn't betray you,
you would have gone back to her.
I hope things work out well with your wife.
Tell her I'm sorry.
I don't regret loving you.
But we were both reckless.
I will think of you sometimes...
and miss you.
It's all in the past
I don't hate you.
It's my fault.
All that matters is that you're doing well.
That's good enough.
Goodbye then.
Do it this way
Then like this.
- Yes. - Then, this way.
Yes.
Young Yi.
What is it? What's wrong?
Here.
Hyungbu, I need to talk to you.
Young Yi!
Your being stubborn isn't helping her.
Look at how she is.
Do you want her...
to spend her last days learning to cut hair?
If you can't tell her, I will.
I will tell her the truth.
How would she be if you tell her now?
She is living every day full of hope now.
What would she do,
if she doesn't even have that?
What if all the work she is doing,
is shortening her life?
I'm about to go crazy worrying about her every day.
She doesn't even know that she will die.
Shouldn't we give her time to prepare?
Shouldn't she be allowed to say goodbye to her kids at least?
Wouldn't there be things she wants to do for the last time?
I can't let her waste...
her remaining precious time learning to cut hair!
