Four Sisters
Episode 1
Yu-Mi, are you ready?
Wow! You look so pretty!
Naturally. It cost a lot
Yu-Mi
Don't worry about it
Are Yu-Jin and Yu-Sun here?
They will be soon Whers soon?
I'm sorry
It hasn't started yet, right? There was so much traffic...
Save it
You're not going to run?
Plus you were the latest
If you don't run, I'm not getting engaged
Don't. Sorry, but I'm not pleased with your engagement
Yu-Jin Yu-Jin
Why are you doing this?
To flaunt in front of your in-laws' rich relatives?
Yu-Jin Yu-Jin
I'm not doing it. Nope It's all Yu-Jirs fault
Yu-Mi
Did I say something wrong? What?
Stop it. Stop this. You too
We'll be late. Let's hurry. Come on
Sis, wait What's wrong?
I'm nervous What if I make a mistake?
Why? If anyone's nervous, it should be me
It's OK. Let's go Wait, Sis!
One, two, three, let's go!
Life's been difficult after she lost her husband
But how could I kick her out as a mother?
Her brain illness seems to have worsened
If you tolerate it for a few months, we'll make other living arrangements
She can stay as long as she wants
Just talk to my wife
Thank you Sure
Is that Young-Hoon?
I helped your mom deliver you
Do you remember?
Yes
You have a memory of your birth?
Yeah...
Yu-Surs such a frail child, I have my work cut out for me
How have you been?
Fine. What about you?
That's no way to speak to Madam
So what, Mom?
Yeo-Jin and I, we go way back
Yes, we're childhood friends
Even so... thank you
Come on! OK, OK!
Slow down! Come on!
About this place... Come on
OK Over there
Let's go. You dug the hole? Yes
I think Yu-Sun needs help
OK, this over here
Yu-Mi, I think it's a bit too much
It's OK. It's fine. Don't touch it
It should be straight
My little girl... water them
Mom!
Mom. Mom, what's wrong?
Open your eyes, Mom!
What happened?
Soon-Young, what's wrong?
Mom! Open your eyes!
Soon-Young!
Mom! Soon-Young!
Open your eyes, Mom!
Mom!
Why's she being moved to a big hospital?
Is she going to die?
No, she'll be OK
She's hemorrhaging slightly in her brain
It's a simple surgery
A bigger hospital is better
Don't worry
What do we do?
Don't worry. I'll cure her
You trust me, right? OK...
What do we do?
Let's go
Mom!
The poor thing...
I hope nothing goes wrong
Let's go inside Let's go
When did he collapse? Prepare for surgery
Let's switch. It's a critical surgery
He's Vice Speaker of the Nat'I Assembly We need your expertise...
Jae-Bong...
Suction
Blood pressure?
It's falling
Increase it more OK
Well done. Thank you so much
Did it go well?
Of course. A piece of cake
What's his prognosis? Will he fully recover?
When can he return to work?
The surgery is over
We have to keep him under observation,
but if there are no complications,
he can function as before in three to four months
We hear it was a complex brain surgery
Was there more pressure because he's the vice speaker?
It's not important who the patient is
All lives are precious
I only did my best as a doctor
Excuse me
Was it a success? Yes, he'll function as usual...
Are we there yet?
Yu-Jin, enough. It was a rare visit,
but you made Grandpa sad by wanting to leave early
I know why
She wanted to leave early because Young-Hoon asked her...
to do vacation homework together
What, Young-Hoon...?
Are you hanging around with him?
We're not even sure of his roots
I heard you were always at the top of your class
No big deal
The word is out
Yu-Jirs smart too
She wants to be a doctor too
Your mom's getting discharged today
Who told you that?
I heard on the news that the vice speaker's getting discharged today
He and your mom got admitted the same day
That's right!
I heard everyone went to your grandpa's
What about you?
Oh... He's not my grandpa
What?
And that's not my mom either
But my sisters are my real siblings
Dad brought me here less than a year ago
Hey, Yu-Jin!
Sis, wait for me!
You do it like this
Big Sis! Young-Hoon!
Yu-Mi! Big Sister!
You're back already? Was it fun? Let's see
Yu-Jin!
Did you have fun?
Why's she your "Big Sis"?
How can you say that?
I'm the big sister At least I used to be
Go back to your house You're the daughter of a mistress!
You! Yu-Jin...
How dare you!
Go back to your house!
Yu-Jin!
Sis!
How dare you!
It's OK Dad, he...
That's enough
I'm sorry. It was my fault
Crazy wench. How can she run off just days after surgery?
I was so busy, I couldn't visit her
Sure, she must've wanted to run away
I wish she had a man stashed somewhere
That way, she'd be happy
Crazy wench...
Can I try?
Give it to me
Wow!
She looks so happy
False happiness?
Yu-Jin
Arert you getting married?
Me?
What about you?
Well... Should I?
You have someone
Who is he? Do I know him? Tell me
Next time Come on...
Sis, big news!
Young-Hoors here
He's performing surgery at the hospital
Tape... Suction
Can't find what we want It just keeps bleeding
Suction
Long time no see, Dr. Jung
Did the engagement party go well?
Yes
I didn't know you were coming today, so...
Suction
How can you not call in a year...
You're still like that?
You're still the same as a year ago?
Suction
You still throw tantrums?
Do you still torment your older sister and disregard your younger sisters?
Found it
Let's listen to some music Yes, Doctor
What's popular these days?
I've been away a year, so I'm clueless. Suction
It's the truth!
One, two, three, four... since they were this big,
I examined them, provided shots and medication
I'm their older brother! Ask Big Brother!
Big Brother...?
The director
But she gets engaged before me?
When will I have an engagement like that?
Are you losing hair?
You always put your hand on your head...
like a chimpanzee No, I have lots of hair
It's so gross
How much did it cost anyway?
Rent for this and that, the food, the clothes...
I say about 25 grand
That much?
That's pocket change for them
25 grand isn't so little
Why are my pores getting so big?
They're pretty
Get away
People might think we're close I don't want to play with a chimpanzee
I'm appalled
Oh! When did you get back?
How have you been? It's been so long
Young-Hoon! You're back? Yeah
You've started work, eh? I've missed you
Is the hospital doing well?
The business department...? Who else can handle the work?
You know everyone's counting on me
I did all the work after the engagement party
You did a good job Don't mention it
Is the director in his office?
Of course. You have to go pay your respects
Young-Hoon
Let's make some time this week for you-know...
All right
Doesrt he look good?
He's "one, two, three, four... five!"
You're looking great I'm back
You worked very hard Was it difficult?
No, I learned a lot Did you?
I'm sorry I couldn't attend Yu-Mi's engagement party
No, work's more important. It's OK
Are you in good health? Of course
I think you've put on some weight
Really?
Life must've been good without us bugging him
Sorry I missed your engagement party
Even if work is important, I can't forgive you
Sorry. I'm really sorry
Then buy me a nice present
I will, princess
You already got so many presents
Are you envious? Then you get married too
Stop working for others and work for us now
There aren't many good doctors
My husband practically does all the work himself
No way, Mom. It's better to stay at the university hospital
Why would he work at such a small hospital?
That's right. Be a professor That suits you better
I'll think about it
Think about what? Just stay there
I asked because you're so busy
You have to lecture and see patients too
But then Yu-Jin will inerit the hospital
She can come once she finishes her residency
Are you going to continue living here?
Naturally. This is his home
It could be uncomfortable for young people
And I feel bad about having him stay in...
the maid's quarter now as if he were our servant
What do you mean by "now"? Was he ever our servant?
That's not what I meant
It's not nice to embarrass your mother, Yu-Mi
Let us go in now
You must be tired, so rest now
Good night Good night
If I made a mistake, I'm sorry
That's OK
Good night Good night
I'm sorry, but I'm very tired too OK, get some rest
Why aren't you joining us?
I have things to finish up
You've got sisters Why do everything by yourself?
Sis, I'll do it
You go keep Young-Hoon company
Let's take a walk. Thanks, Yu-Sun!
Sure!
You were too busy to call?
I occasionally called you and Dr. Jung
Mother, Yu-Mi and Yu-Sun waited eagerly
Really?
What about Yu-Jin?
Would she even care about that? She's been awfully busy
She's more ambitious than you And doesn't know how to be shrewd
I know
Is it fun? Huh?
Living as the eldest of four sisters
What?
Since Grandmother passed away,
it's not fun to live in someone else's house
But Dr. Jung's still here...
Yes, Dad's here
You're not getting married?
I'd better go inside I have to tuck in Yu-Sun
OK. I can't sleep because of jet lag
OK. You must be tired, so don't walk too long
OK. Good night
Nonsense. That's nonsense
You don't love him, so why are you getting married?
Because he's cute, well-mannered and rich
Sis!
Then if I fall in love with a man who has...
five siblings to support and a bad job,
will you give me your blessings?
That's not good, either
But why use that as an example?
I don't know
I'm sorry. I'm not the one I can't accept your feelings
I never once imagined marrying you Satisfied?
Give me... a reason
Must I tell you that too?
Yes. Give me a good reason why you can't marry me
I don't like the special things you have
I'm still a servant at your house and you're a princess
It's childish, but I don't like that
I don't want to fight with your mother, either
I don't want to hear people say that I married you...
to use your dad's name to succeed as a doctor
Above all, you're too high for me I don't like it
Don't say that you don't like me
I don't...
want to disappoint your father
You're working hard
Hello
The surgery's scheduled, so don't worry
It'll go well
Is this a game?
Let's see... It must be fun
My dad did?
Yes, he must have something to say
What could it be? I don't know
What about breakfast?
I ate at the hospital with the director
Yu-Jin, you're leaving already?
Eat something That's OK
I'll make you some toast. I'll hurry
I said no, so stop annoying me!
Yu-Jin
OK! Good job. Let's take a break
Good lyrics and good music...
Let's go with "good-bye" at the end
They're breaking up Who says, "I still love you" nowadays?
He does
I still love you
Acting all smart...
By the way, why keep turning my offer down?
I don't want to Why should I work here?
I'll just have fun before getting married
Rich girls are all like that
But then, when you've got money,
it's unfair to have brains and talent too
Han Tae-Suhk!
I'm out of here
Patience. Just let it go
He's not like that deep down
Don't hit him too hard
Where were you?
Why didn't you answer your phone?
What is it that I lack? Brains or talent?
What you lack is...
heart
Dr. Jung...
What is it?
I know you hate me, but don't act like that in front of others
especially Hae-Jung and your father
You keep getting on my nerves
You're so smart, so how come you can't control your emotions?
I got it. So just don't get on your nerves?
All right. I'll try to laugh & chatter as if nothing's wrong
I'll do that
But even if it's a fraction of your thoughtfulness for Dad and Hae-Jung
if you considered what I'm going through,
I don't think I'd be like this
What've you been doing these past few days?
Nothing
Nothing...
Maybe it's because I really do lack heart,
but "I still love you" just doesn't cut it
Let's try going with a simple "good-bye"
But I still love you
You're leaving?
I have a part-time job
I'm writing for a friend's magazine
Again?
You would too if you had five younger siblings to support
I'm not pleased with you About what?
You always say you're going to marry someone else
That you want to meet a rich husband...
and occasionally reminisce about me
You who can say that thanks to a famous father
Sometimes, it really gets me down
What?
What are you doing?
I'm looking at you. So I can remember
What?
To reminisce, I have to remember
Hey, what's come over you?
I got engaged yesterday
I got engaged
What?
Thanks to my famous father, I'm marrying into a wealthy family
All right. Say I'll be right there
Don't worry about it It'll be done in half an hour
Good job...
Hey
Lee Han-Su. Welcome aboard
I'll do my best
Can we find her?
Dr. Lee's mother...
Don't you remember?
The time I was operating on the vice speaker
Yes, I remember
I operated on her on your behalf
Right
Ms. Kim Soon-Young ran away
Kim Soon-Young...? Yes, her name was Soon-Young
You remember that?
No kidding. Why do I remember that?
I suppose I was shocked because a patient in recovery...
ran away leaving her young son too
But why bring her up all of a sudden?
Now that the girls are getting married,
I'd like to find Young-Hoon his mother
You don't know if Dr. Lee wants to find her
Maybe you'd be reopening old wounds
You think so?
Just ignore it
Yes, that might be better
You're leaving already?
I'm meeting the kids Huh?
But just in case...
would you see if the old records are still here?
Sure, don't worry OK
Prepare for surgery
Let's switch
It's a critical operation
Jae-Bong!
How's her blood pressure? It's falling
Increase it more OK
Have my car ready Yes, Dr. Min
Welcome. This way
The other two guests have already arrived
Dad
You're here Hello
You came too? I asked her to join us
The family hardly has time to have dinner together
Here I have to go back
Really?
You too? Yes, me too
I'll have some, Dad OK
What's this all about?
Do you have something to say to us?
I never thought the order was crucial,
but I don't feel good about letting Yu-Mi marry first
Why even think about that?
Yes, why think about that?
Are you guys seeing anybody?
I have no plans to meddle in your marriage, but Yu-Jin...
Yes
Dr. Mirs older brother, Chairman Mirs son...
We know him
He used to come over when we were kids
Yes. You remember him too? No
The Chairman mentioned him Would you consider it?
No
Are you worried we can't find a man?
So you're going to pick for us?
Yes, I want to pick them out
How can we trust your taste?
You have someone for me too? Who is he?
You have someone? Well, who is it?
Young-Hoon...
Dad
It's silly to say this, but the girls and I have never...
considered you an outsider
So if it's all right with you, I'd appreciate it...
if you'd marry Hae-Jung and take over the hospital
Dad... Dad, that's impossible
That's impossible. No, Dad
What do you mean? Young-Hoon is...
I want to study in the States
Young-Hoon... I want to study in the USA
The hospital I worked at made me an offer...
to get my Ph.D. There
Really?
I decided before coming home
Young-Hoon...
Hold on. I was making preparations
So that's what you wanted to tell me today
Yes. I'm sorry I disappointed you
I'm so thankful for your thoughtfulness,
and you know I've always thought of you as a father
But as far as marriage is concerned, we prefer it to be left to us
It's not time yet
I agree, Dad
Give me your permission to go to the States
Will it be difficult?
She's been in a vegetative state for so long,
I fear moving her might traumatize her
Doctor Yeah
She's a relative, eh? Yes
Better move her to the hospital that's run by the foundation
Easy for sending data too
There's none near Seoul that specializes in this field
It's close to Seoul and run by nuns, so it'll be nice and quiet
Did you finish the tour?
Yes. I'll have to bring my kids here from now on
You do this with your daughters?
Just once a month. My husband does...
free exams once a week, so we have to do our part too
We'll do the best we can
Thank you
Come in
Thank you
Mother's running late Really? Sit down
About tonight...
Dad... are you worried about me?
I'm fine
I was short-sighted
It's OK, Dad I already knew how you felt
You did?
And I knew what Young-Hoon would say too
I thought you loved each other
Even if we did, our marriage would've been difficult
Mother would've opposed
What does that matter?
It does matter, Dad
Young-Hoon could never defy you and Mother
I know. Because I feel that way too
Hae-Jung I'm sorry, Dad
It's not because it hurts our pride
It's because we're so grateful to you,
we don't want to marry anyone you two oppose
I'm sure he feels the same way
I'm sorry You don't have feelings for him?
No, Dad. It's the truth
Yu-Jin!
Let's go inside
Let go
Yu-Jin! Yu-Jin!
