Lord,
I won't ask for you to let her live a long life.
Please give her half...
of what I have left in my life.
I won't ask for more.
Please give me some time...
to repay her for what I did wrong.
Sung Moon.
Hey. Did you wake up?
Give me breakfast. I'm hungry.
It's almost ready.
This is porridge with five grains. It should be good.
What about the kids?
They already left for school.
Ask me how I feel.
How do you feel?
Good. Very good.
Really?
Since I'm going to die anyway,
I want to be pleasant about it.
I want to do that.
I don't want to be...
dragged like a dog.
Now that I think about it,
it's not my fault. It's nobody's fault.
I'm not going to resent anyone.
Would I have had cancer if I had different parents?
Would I end this way if I didn't go through all the hardships since I was young?
Would I have come this far if I didn't suffer from my husband?
I won't think.
They're all useless.
If it is fate, I want to accept it.
I think I could be comfortable that way.
So you should cooperate as well.
Don't spend money on me starting today. Never.
There are miracles in this world.
Think about it.
I want to live, too. Why would I not want to live?
Would I want to close my eyes when I have my kids here?
If I can live, if I can be sure that I can live,
I would make you find medicines,
and I would have asked you to sell this house.
But...
I know...
that it is useless. It's useless.
I can't and you can't do anything.
I'm going to accept it.
I will take painkillers.
And...
I'll take the medicine that you brew for me.
But... I'm not going...
to do anything to prolong my life.
Please help me with that.
Sung Moon.
Yes.
I don't know...
how much time I have left.
But I want to...
live every moment...
to the fullest.
Okay.
But I may...
behave capriciously at times.
I might have a fit at times.
I might call you names, resent you,
and tell you to make me live.
Then you have to stop me and give me courage.
Okay?
Okay.
That's it. I'm going to eat.
All right. Eat.
This is good. It's much better than white porridge.
Eat a lot if you like it.
Oh... take me to my Father today.
I'm home.
Come on in.
Look!
- Oh... - Guess what?
Let me read this.
Dear Father, Soon Yi, and Young Yi.
Father, how are you doing?
Father, how are you doing? Thank you Soon Yi and Young Yi for the letter.
I think I'll be promoted tomorrow.
Wow.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh...
Dad.
Hi. What about Sung Moon?
He's in the car.
What is it that you want to say?
What is it?
Dad.
Yes.
I...
know that I'm going to die.
I know that I don't have much time left.
Don't say that in front of me.
I'm sorry, Dad.
I'm really sorry, Dad.
I'm really sorry.
I was not a good daughter.
Please forgive me.
Dad,
I have a favor to ask you for the last time.
You must say yes.
Go ahead. I'll say yes.
I need your permission.
Promise me you will give me permission.
All right, I promise.
Dad,
I want to...
donate my organs.
What?
Donate my organs.
No.
- Dad. - I can't give you permission.
I can say yes to everything else but this.
How can I let your body be cut to pieces?
I can't do that.
Dad.
I haven't done anything in this world.
I want to leave evidence,
that I was living in this world as a person.
I want to do something meaningful before I leave.
But I don't have any skills or money.
All I have is my body.
If there is something I can do with my body,
I want to do something meaningful for someone else.
I think that would make my life worthwhile.
I want your permission since you gave birth to me.
Please allow me, Dad.
I'm going to die anyway.
I don't know if it is going to be today or tomorrow,
so I came to get your permission now.
Please, Dad...
What was it about?
Nothing.
Should we stop by somewhere?
Is there anything you want to do?
Let's go pick up the kids.
Kids?
Hee Mang. So Mang.
Hello?
Yes, Father.
She said that?
Yes.
Did she discuss it with you?
No, I haven't heard anything like that.
What do you think?
I oppose it.
I don't want her to ruin her body on top of everything.
I'm not interested whether someone can live with her organs or not.
Who cares about other people when my child is dying?
It is so hard for me to watch her like that.
I can't possibly do that.
I can't allow her to do that.
I agree with you.
Then, you should persuade her and stop her.
She shouldn't be thinking about other people now.
She needs to worry about herself.
I had a patient.
Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat.
Wait.
Have a seat.
There is something you must keep in mind while you date me.
Try to understand me as I am.
Of course.
Don't be conceited that I'm going to be changed by you.
Even if I change a little,
don't be mistaken that I changed because of you.
Even if nothing changes about me,
don't swagger that you are going to make me change.
Don't be assured that you are going to...
make it impossible for me to live without you.
And?
That's it.
Don't be conceited, mistaken, don't swagger, and assured.
Just accept you as you are. Right?
You're smart.
I used to get good grades in school.
I'll keep that in mind.
Let's go get something to eat now.
Okay.
Was the bone broth good yesterday?
It was all right.
How did you know that?
I don't think I told you.
My nickname used to be Muzzle, before Doggy Bone.
Yesterday, you and I...
Let's go.
Today is our first formal date, so I'll buy you something delicious.
Let's go.
This looks great.
I want to buy you something more expensive at a nice place.
No, I like this better. I love hot food.
You can give the rest as money.
Um... this is good!
You have an unusual taste. It's so different from your looks.
What?
Pettitoes, bone broth, and hot chicken...
Any problem with that?
Oh, no. No problem.
Why aren't you eating?
I can't eat hot stuff very well.
Well... women like me like hot food.
Women like you?
Yes. Lonely women who live by themselves.
They need to bring fire in them with this.
Oh. You won't have to have hot food anymore, so enjoy.
This will be the last hot chicken.
Why is it the last hot chicken?
You'll be living by yourself for a while but you won't be lonely. You have a boyfriend.
All right, that's enough. Just eat. We need to go watch a movie afterwards.
I have a previous engagement.
Precious engagement?
Yes.
You should have told me before.
I'm quite popular.
Oh, well. Too bad.
Do I need to tell you who I'm going to meet?
No.
We shouldn't be meddlers.
Are you all right?
Not too bad.
Lie down.
I should tell the kids,
but I can't.
They'll be very surprised,
if I disappear one day all of a sudden.
They'll resent me forever,
if I just leave without telling them.
I should...
tell them...
but I don't know how to do it.
What should I tell them?
Take your time. Later.
Do you think I would have enough time for that?
What if,
I just pass away one day all of a sudden, without any preparation?
Don't worry. You won't be taken so easily.
God promised me...
that he would give you half of my remaining lifetime.
Look.
Let's say I have at least thirty years left.
Half of that is fifteen years.
So you have fifteen years left.
I won't even ask for that much.
I wouldn't wish for anything else,
if I could stay until they go to junior high school.
I'm being capricious again, right? I said I will accept this...
No.
That's all right.
Honey.
Yes?
I met your father.
He told me you said you want to donate your organs.
Yes.
Do you have to do that?
Both your father and I think you shouldn't do it.
It hurts us so much just seeing you...
in so much pain, and how could we...
My body is going to decompose anyway after I die.
If I could save someone with this body,
I want to do that.
I want to do something good,
before I die.
I was going to ask for your permission, too. Once Father gives me permission.
Please help me so that I can do it.
I don't know what I would be able to donate.
I'm not sure if there is...
anything useful in my body.
But I want to give everything I can.
Please be on my side.
It's so hard to persuade Father right now.
Please?
Wow, you are good.
Do you want to be treated with acupuncture as well?
Is there acupuncture which makes me become young and pretty?
One that makes all the wrinkles disappear.
I would like something like that. What do you think, honey?
Honey.
Yes? What?
What have you been thinking about?
Nothing.
Are you serious?
Yes.
I don't know what she's thinking,
but she keeps insisting.
You should persuade her.
I don't want her body to be all in pieces.
It hurts me so much to see her in pain like that.
Maybe if it's someone healthy...
but she's different.
Her body is ruined already. I can't have it be ruined even more.
So you should talk to her and make her change her mind.
Please.
I think I could understand her.
I can understand her as well, but I can't agree.
I want to send her flawless.
I can't do that.
I know how you feel.
I don't want her body to be touched anymore.
But Dad... more than anything,
it is something that she wants,
so let her do it.
Poor thing...
poor thing...
Dad...
You don't understand how I feel.
You can't understand how parents feel because you don't have kids.
I don't want my kids to even hurt the tip of their finger.
You might regret it later,
if you don't let her do what she wants.
You should let her do it, since she wants to do it so badly.
Do you want to make her go without letting her do what she wants?
You should step back this time for her.
I'm not going to change my mind.
Don't think of touching her body.
Never ruin her body.
Ah, really. Why isn't he answering the phone?
He's not answering the phone?
Oh... maybe he is having an affair?
Stop it.
You feel vexed if he doesn't answer the phone,
and doesn't come home, right?
No. Not at all.
Oh... I'm sure you feel vexed.
I don't need to be stressed and worry.
I'll be the only one to suffer, if I end up getting sick by doing that like someone.
I'm never going to be stressed.
I look after myself. I'm not going to care whether or not he is late.
That's what you say, but look at your face.
It looks like you would beat him up when he comes in.
That's enough!
Honey.
Why didn't you answer?
Unni.
Is Mother home?
Hey... Soon Yi.
We just came home.
Where's Mother?
In the room. She says her whole body aches,
because she's never done anything like this before.
I thought you would never come here again. What brings you here?
Why wouldn't I come here?
This is not a stranger's house.
Exactly. I think she grows absent-minded from time to time,
seeing her talking nonsense.
What?
Let's be nice to each other from now on.
Let's settle old scores.
Well, that's...
Don't ask her to settle anything. She hasn't done anything right.
Just leave her alone.
What is wrong with you?
That's enough.
Hyungnim.
Mother, I'm here.
What are you doing here?
I heard you work during the day so I came this late.
I wanted to see you.
Isn't it hard to work?
It's hard but I need to do it. I shouldn't just stay home.
I get to exercise and earn money. So it's all right.
She bought pettitoes for you, but Sung Moon kicked us out.
He said you just fell asleep after taking medicine.
I see. I didn't know.
Mother, let me give you a massage.
Oh, that's all right. You must be tired, too.
Mother, I'm so sorry I made you worry about me.
I didn't even fulfill my duties
as a daughter-in-law because I'm sick. I'm really sorry.
No. I thank you for being alive.
Imagine what would have happened to the kids if something went wrong with you.
You should recover soon to fulfill your duties
as a daughter-in-law, and also give birth to a boy.
You don't have to have one, but I would like for you to have one.
It'll be good to have a baby.
I know.
I heard...
that you recovered, but you don't look very good.
- Sh... - Okay.
I'm home.
Hey.
Come on in.
What are you hiding back there?
No, it's nothing. Hi, Soon Yi.
What is it? Is it food?
No, I brought some work home.
Good night.
You just need to open it,
pour it in a cup, and drink it.
The cup is in here as well. I heard this is so good for diet.
I don't have any weight to lose.
Wait... are you asking me to lose weight because you don't like me this way?
Well... frankly,
You gained some weight after having Uk Man, right?
Gaining weight may lead to all kinds of illness.
Look at your tummy.
Sometimes I think you have Uk Man's little brother in there.
Come on.
I don't have any belly. Do you want to see?
Look.
Breathe.
I'm breathing.
What about this? Ah... See? Look at this. Look at it.
This is all because of you.
I got a tummy after I met you. Giving birth to Uk Man,
and keeping the house.
I had a nice figure before I was married.
You're right. And here I'm married to that nice-figured woman.
What?
I'm just kidding. Have this.
Hide it and keep it to yourself.
You need to be careful of Aunt. She was keeping her eyes on this.
It tastes good.
You didn't buy this, did you?
You got this as a gift from an insurance company, right?
Yeah, right. Fine if you don't want to have it.
I'll take it to her.
All right. All right. I'll have it all.
Soon Yi came.
I saw her.
Is she about to...
pass away soon?
What?
She was smiling and acting different.
She also suggested we should be nice to each other.
Well... I had nothing much to say.
I feel bad in a way.
Sung Moon can just remarry, but I feel so bad for the kids.
Uk Man would be so pitiful without me.
You would remarry,
as soon as I die, right?
You won't die early.
Soon Yi changed a lot since she was pronounced incurable.
Incurable?
Really?
I was so happy to see Soon Yi smiling yesterday,
that I couldn't sleep.
Don't be too happy.
Why not?
She can't live for long.
Hey...
What are you doing here so early?
Is it true?
I heard Soon Yi won't be able to live for long.
Who said that?
Sung Hae said Won Man told her.
Is it true?
Oh, my...
She came by yesterday and said...
she'll recover soon to fulfill her duties as a daughter-in-law and give birth to a son.
What is this?
How much time does she have left?
I don't know.
It could be days, months, or years...
Oh... what do we do now?
- It is $28. - Yes.
Look for Miss Bong next time.
- I'll be... - Could we have more vegetables?
Yes. Vegetables.
Yes. I'm coming.
We're still waiting for more meat.
Yes. I'm coming.
Miss Kang.
Hey, Miss Kang.
Yes? Yes?
More meat over there.
Okay.
Hyungnim, what's wrong with you today?
You'll be fired if the owner sees you.
Okay. Look who's talking.
Father.
I have done nothing in this world.
I want to do something meaningful before I leave.
I think I could feel worthwhile doing that.
I don't know if it is going to be today or tomorrow.
Dad, please let me do it.
Please just let her do it
since she wants it. So let her do it.
That way, she'll be able to leave comfortably.
Father.
What about Soon Yi?
Honey, come here.
Come in, please.
Dad. You've come.
Yes. Have a seat. You should sit, too.
Soon Yi.
Yes, Dad.
Let's do it.
You can do whatever you want.
Dad...
You...
you need to live long though.
You should never become an ungrateful daughter.
You shouldn't leave before me.
I can't bury you in my heart.
I'm going to leave first,
and then you can donate your organs or do whatever you want.
Yes, Dad.
I won't become an ungrateful daughter.
I won't leave before you.
Would you be all right?
I'll just follow...
what she wants...
to do.
It was painful for all of us... to come to this decision,
but I hope it becomes something worthwhile for you.
That's all I want.
I'm happy that...
you can leave your trace in this world.
That's all.
Dad.
It's a very difficult thing.
You made a great decision.
It is a very good deed.
But...
my whole body is decaying.
Would I still have something I would be able to donate?
I want to donate my eyes.
What if the cancer cells spread to the eyes as well?
They have not spread to the eyes.
That's great.
You could find someone for me.
All right, I'll do that.
It is so great of you to think of this,
in your situation.
The understanding of donating organs
is not very active in this country yet.
Then...
I'll prepare the form for you to donate your eyes.
Okay.
Doctor.
Yes?
I want to do it, too.
[Pledge for Organ Donation]
Stop looking at me.
I'm so surprised.
How did you think of doing that?
I do it, if you do.
We are one, right?
Don't get cancer, though.
I'm not saying this for you.
I'm just worried our kids will become orphans.
So that... I won't feel alone,
thank you so much for doing it together.
I have a favor to ask you.
I want to give my eyes...
to a mother...
who is poor but raises her kids well.
I hope she could watch...
Hee Mang and So Mang from a distance once a year.
I want to see our kids growing up like that...
as if I'm watching them from up there.
I think they're not allowed to tell who the receiver is.
I'll make a request to the hospital...
for that.
Promise.
Honey, what's wrong?
Honey, here's the pill.
Should we go to the hospital?
Let's go.
There's no use.
The kids will wake up. Take me to our room.
Hey.
- Sung Moon. - Sung Moon.
Welcome.
It's so good to see you coming in together.
You should go on a date, since today is Sunday.
A date? What...
Sung Moon, could I get some water?
- Come here. - Okay.
Hyungnim. Thank you.
Your plan worked.
See? I know the women in this family.
That's how I did it, too.
I disappeared for a while and she came looking for me.
I know.
I didn't call her like you told me,
and she came to me.
I learned for the first time that there need to be tricks in love.
I thought I didn't have any space left for anyone.
But I had one space left.
I'm so fickle, right?
This is all because of you, though.
All right.
I wanted to see your wedding.
It'll be difficult, right?
Live long until I get married.
No... live until I get married, have kids,
and the kids get married.
I want to.
I didn't think Father would allow you to do it.
Me, neither.
I felt bad seeing him leave like that.
Maybe, I was being too selfish.
No, Unni.
At first, I wanted to stop you as well.
But after I think about it, you are right.
Oh... Unni.
It's your birthday tomorrow. What do you want to do?
Tell me what you want to do.
It's around this time.
Oh, it's right.
Hey... little octopus.
Gosh, Hyungnim.
This is our one day off in a month. Let me sleep.
Why are you waking me up?
Let's go grocery shopping.
Oh, my...
Hey!
Give it to me.
I should have asked Young Yi to do it for me.
I'm here.
You should ask your husband to do it.
Young Yi is two degrees away and you are nothing.
Do you have to put it like that?
The nails aren't that long. Do you still want me to cut them?
I want to be clean since tomorrow is my birthday.
Do you want to take a bath as well?
I just showered.
I can do that by myself.
Cut my toenails, too.
All right.
Let's hold hands and go to the nursery school together, as well.
Yes, Mother.
Is Soon Yi awake?
Yes.
Then, come over with Soon Yi and the kids.
They need to go to school.
Then, send them to school and come here for breakfast.
I need to prepare her breakfast today.
It's her birthday today. I made seaweed soup.
I didn't cook much, but let's get together and eat.
Hurry up.
Oh, what's this smell?
Hyungnim, is it someone's birthday today?
I don't have time to talk to you.
Sung Hae. Sung Hae.
Mother?
Yes.
Wow...
When did you make all this?
She spent the whole night doing this. To prepare for a daughter-in-law's birthday.
You are going to prepare for my birthday as well, right?
Come on.
Wow... you gave full play to your ability.
I didn't prepare much. Let's eat.
Thank you, Mother.
The soup is getting cold. Try it.
It's great, Mother.
Is it good?
Eat more if it's good.
I have never prepared anything for your birthday.
I'm going to prepare the meal...
for your birthday every time from now on.
I'm going to prepare it for next year, as well.
So you should...
live.
Come on... today is a happy day.
You were married to him,
and you never got to live in luxury.
You suffered all the hardship...
How did you get such a horrible illness?
Oh, my goodness...
Oh... Oh,
no...
Oh...
Mother.
You poor thing.
You should live.
You should live for your kids.
Yes, Mother.
I'll live.
Oh... Oh...
Sung Moon, there's no more toothpaste.
Really? It has been only a few days.
Stop brushing your teeth. You just brushed them.
It's smelly.
No, it's not.
Yes, it smells rotten.
I keep brushing them but it smells rotten.
I can't stand it.
That's just what you think. I can't smell anything.
Stop brushing them.
Your gums are inflamed.
I still need to brush them.
See?
It doesn't smell at all.
It's sweet.
Jeju Island?
Yes. I want to make a good memory for her.
She wants to go to Jeju Island. She hasn't been on a plane.
She hasn't been to Jeju Island?
Didn't you go there for your honeymoon?
We couldn't go.
We said we would go next time but it didn't work out.
Well,
that's good.
There is a hotel that my company uses.
I'll pay for everything so you can take the kids and go with Soon Yi.
Thank you.
I'm not going to decline anything you do for us.
I'll pay you back twice and three times more later.
I'm recording everything.
It would be great if you could come together.
Me?
Yes. I think Soon Yi will like it.
You're right. I'll try to make time.
Let's bring brother-in-law as well.
Brother-in-law?
Doggy Bone.
That's okay. Just the family is enough.
Okay. You can decide.
I'm going to go now.
Are you going to go straight home?
No. I'm going to meet someone for medical plants.
Bye.
[Life is a Bed of Roses]
You can't go. You can't go before I die.
Sung Moon, please.
Say that you will marry me.
Come on!
I can't live without you.
Sung Moon, we can't be together. I'm older than you and...
Who cares about the age?
You're only three years older.
I'm all right with that. I'm fine.
I can do it.
I can make your life be a bed of roses.
Look.
I'm going to make it shine like that.
Look!
[Life is a Bed of Roses]
Please?
I'm going to die without you.
Do you want me to die?
Please don't do this.
I'm going to make you regret it,
if you don't marry me.
Watch carefully.
Hey, it's dangerous.
Hey!
Oh... please, don't do it.
Sung Moon, please.
Come on.
Don't do this. Please don't do this.
Let go.
All right. Okay. Sung Moon, I'll marry you.
Really? For real?
Yes, for real.
Hey...
Yes.
It was so hard to get this loan.
And...
I got it under my name, so you have to pay me back for sure.
Thanks.
Hey, the interest is...
Young Yi. I have a favor to ask you.
Turn.
Wow... this is great.
You look awesome.
Do you like it?
I do.
But why are you buying this for me?
You'll see.
Have a seat.
Are we going somewhere?
Don't move.
My face is so bad, right?
No, you're pretty.
Where is Sung Moon?
He said there was a wedding he had to go to.
Tell me. Where are we going?
Tell me what's going on.
Here it is.
Get off.
What about you?
Go in. Bye.
Young Yi. Young Yi.
[Life is a Bed of Roses]
Uh...
