[Episode 4]
It's perfect.
Did you think I wouldn't find out if you didn't tell me?
Let's try the speed dial.
Either her son or granddaughter must be speed dial one.
Emergency?
911?
I guess she wants to live.
My lifeline?
Could it be Ppal Gang?
For Real Noodles.
The best jajangmyun, available for delivery 24 hours, 7 days a week.
- For real? - Yes, For Real.
For real?
Yes. What would you like to order?
After kicking out two daughters-in-law,
she should have lived a better life than this.
She's just a lonely old woman.
Who's on speed dial three?
(Creditor)
She's in debt, too?
I had no idea Ppal Gang was living this way.
I should've looked for her sooner.
And you call yourself a mum? You're no mum.
Rak Pasta?
Rak Pasta. How can I help you?
Do you...
know a girl named Lee Ppal Gang?
Who is this?
Do you know her?
I'm her mum.
I'm not a thief or anything.
Why can't she tell me where my daughter lives?
You know her, don't you?
You know Lee Ppal Gang.
Stay right there. I'm coming.
Please don't go anywhere.
Hey, is Ppal Gang home?
The kids are at school.
Well...
Did you follow me?
You're the one who broke into someone else's house.
Which one of you called me?
Where's Ppal Gang?
Tell me where she is. I'm her mum.
No, I'm Ppal Gang's mum.
Tell just me.
Who's the first...
I'm the 1st. She's the 2nd.
Don't say it like that.
I was his wife, too.
You're Ppal Gang's real mother.
"Real"?
Are you saying that I'm a fake?
I'm the only one Ppal Gang calls Mum.
She calls this woman Ms Gye.
I was mistaken.
So you're the real mother?
What are you talking about?
I gave birth to Ppal Gang.
I suffered for more than 10 hours to give birth to her.
Should I show you my belly?
Oh my.
- Let me go. - What are you doing?
Have you had breakfast yet?
What are you doing?
Would you like some brunch?
What's wrong with you?
What are you doing?
I just want to embrace everyone...
with love.
Can we have a little talk?
Did he just hug those ladies?
[Breast clinic]
(Lee Hwa Shin)
This isn't right.
I told them to be careful.
Are they trying to advertise it?
Mr Lee Hwa Shin.
When will I get a single room?
Also,
I already asked you...
never to call me by my name...
while I'm here. Please.
How many times must I tell you?
No one can ever find out I have breast cancer.
Also,
no one can ever know that a man is staying here in the first place,
- okay? - Yes, Sir.
Let me check your blood pressure.
- Goodness. - Please take off your jacket.
We'll move you to a single as soon as it's available.
When will it be available?
Your blood pressure is too high. I'll check it once again later.
Who's staying next to me? Is she an old lady?
- Please change into a gown. - Is she young?
- Please take off your underwear. - Is she pretty?
Never mind.
Please calm down and take some rest.
I'll come back in a while.
Please remember my requests.
You're wearing Mum's dress.
Yes. How do I look?
You don't look as pretty as Mum did.
Of course not.
Why are you wearing it, all of a sudden?
It makes me feel like I'm with her. I don't feel alone.
It gives me courage.
Isn't the team going with you on the business trip?
I'll call you.
Can you go on television in that dress someday?
(Rak pasta)
He did?
How expensive could pasta be?
Is he in debt because he couldn't pay for his pasta?
Yes.
He and Ppal Gang are regulars, but they ran up quite a tab.
Since you said you were Ppal Gang's mum, I thought...
you could pay their tab, so I didn't stop you from coming.
How much is it?
It's not much. You don't have to pay it.
I'm so sorry in any case.
Do you have their phone number, by any chance?
They were the ones who called us. We don't have their phone number.
Take this back.
No.
They might come back.
Please take this money and treat them well.
I'll treat them well even without the money.
Please take this back.
If you ever hear from them, please call me at this number.
No.
Please call this number instead.
I should get back to the restaurant.
- Wait. - Wait.
I beg you. Please call me and only me.
Please call me.
I'll be waiting for your call.
All right. I get it.
Hello.
Can I watch some television?
Can I raise the volume a little?
Please let me know if it's too loud.
The symptoms of El Tor type cholera...
are not as severe as those of the classical type.
Isn't this Na Ri's voice?
The station seems to be doing just fine without me.
I thought it'd shut down or something.
What should I watch?
Keep it there.
Mr Lee?
Let's just keep watching it.
(Rak pasta)
I love eating on your rooftop.
I hope Na Ri will go on more business trips.
- Is it tasty? - Yes.
That's more like you.
I'm so happy you started eating again.
I think Dad will get better soon.
He looks a lot more comfortable now.
You're right. We think the same.
- Don't we, Chi Yul? - Yes.
Chi Yul, put this away.
Look at you.
Gosh, I'm so full.
- Sleep in your bed. - I don't want to.
She probably doesn't want to go back to her empty apartment.
You should lie down, too.
- Where are you going? - I need a pillow.
What?
It gets chilly at night. You'll catch a cold.
Doctor.
How could I share a room with a man?
If there was any other available room, I wouldn't do this.
He's just a patient. He's not a man.
Just think of him as another patient.
How can he not be a man?
Why are you doing this to me?
A man is a man.
What else would he be?
What is this?
Is this a prison or something?
This is just like a prison.
If there's no other room, I'd rather go home.
I'm sorry.
Since you're colleagues, I thought you wouldn't mind.
Even if all other men in the world were just patients,
he'd still be a man to me.
He was the only one who was a man to me at our station.
I never considered any other man as a man.
- Is he your boyfriend? - What?
We didn't know you liked him.
He's not my boyfriend.
I don't like him any longer.
Doctor.
I'll leave.
Please reschedule my surgery.
It'll be quite a delay then.
- Worst case scenario, I die. - Excuse me?
You've never had a boyfriend, have you?
Am I the only man...
to you?
As I said earlier,
I don't like you any longer.
Didn't I tell you I'd date someone much nicer than you...
even if I get dumped in the end?
Why are you talking about getting dumped?
What is a man doing here?
Isn't this what you wanted?
Do you have breast cancer too?
So do I.
Oh my.
I don't...
What?
You're a woman but you don't have breast cancer,
and yet I do, although I'm a man?
Do you have breast cancer?
I didn't expect this when I told you to get a check-up.
I had no idea.
Even if you can feel a lump,
it usually turns out to be...
a benign tumour.
I guess I'm being punished.
What?
What should we do?
Do you need radiation treatment too?
It's not at a final stage, is it? It's still early,
right?
Why are you here alone?
Are you really here alone?
Are you crazy? You have cancer.
When is your guardian coming?
Do you have no family? Don't you have anyone?
Oh my.
You're such a macho man.
How did you get breast cancer?
Shut it.
Maybe it's a misdiagnosis.
Do men really get breast cancer?
Keep your mouth shut.
You have no idea how I feel.
If the station finds out, I can forget about being an anchor...
or auditioning.
Competitors will flock at me like wolves...
and write up strange articles about me.
I don't want to become...
the subject of tabloid articles...
about an anchor with breast cancer.
If people find out, my career is over.
I won't tell my family either.
You just keep quiet, and I'll be fine. Got it?
Mr Lee.
Aren't you afraid?
If word gets out, you're dead.
I won't tell even if it kills me.
Even if someone offers me a million dollars.
Mr Lee.
Hang in there.
If someone offers you a million dollars, tell them.
When would you ever make that much money?
I'm sure the surgery will go well.
Go to sleep.
The doctor...
is the best in breast cancer surgery.
Let's go to sleep.
You need to sleep well for surgery to go well.
Okay. Good night.
Let's go to sleep.
Your surgery will go well.
Good night.
Good night to me, too.
A chef?
A chef, a chef.
A chef?
Saffron.
She was wearing way too much perfume.
I'm sorry, Mr Lee.
I feel like this happened because I ran my mouth.
I'm sorry.
Don't look at me like a cancer patient.
I thought you were asleep.
You...
don't see me as a man, right?
No, don't worry.
Not at all.
You're just a patient.
Will I be able to awake from the anaesthesia tomorrow?
Will I be able to get married?
What?
Women...
won't see a man with breast cancer as a man.
No one will ever find out if I keep my mouth shut.
Don't tell your future wife...
even on your first night.
Men don't look sexier...
just because they spill all of their secrets.
- It doesn't help. - I can't lie, though.
I should be honest to my future wife.
Is that right?
Even you, who had a crush on me...
for three years and couldn't forget me,
don't see me as a man once you found out.
So what woman could see me as a man?
Go to sleep. Stop thinking negative thoughts.
Would you be able to sleep?
They need to open me up tomorrow to see if it's stage 1 or 2,
whether or not I'll need radiation...
or whether or not it spread into my lymphatic system.
And if it did, they need to remove the entire breast.
What? You're just getting...
a little lump removed, is that it?
Your chest gets a little smaller, that's it, right?
You don't have cancer, is that it?
May I kiss you?
See? I can't.
As you said, you don't see me as a man any more,
and I'm not sexy.
I'm just a sad patient in your room.
To be blunt,
a single man and a single woman...
are alone in a room with beds,
and yet you don't want to kiss me. I'm no man.
Do it.
Fine.
Really?
Yes. Really.
You mean it?
I won't really do it.
I just needed to hear...
your answer, that's all.
I just needed to hear whether I, who has breast cancer...
like a woman, still look like a man to you,
whether I'm still sexy...
and whether or not I could kiss you. That's all...
So you still want to kiss me.
I guess I am still sexy. That's good, then.
Kiss someone else.
Someone who likes you.
So you still want to kiss me.
I guess I am still sexy. That's good, then.
Kiss someone else.
Someone who likes you.
You may regret it tomorrow.
Kiss a healthy guy who likes you.
(Your message has been saved.)
Where is it?
Oh no.
Where is it?
Oh dear.
What do I do?
Goodness.
Are you okay?
- That must have hurt. - Are you okay?
Oh no.
(lee hwa shin)
Cut it out.
It doesn't feel like self-defence if we cut this out.
Don't give me that.
This is just a fight. It wasn't self-defence. Cut it.
I won't.
Have you lost your mind?
I heard the suit Ms Geum wore on the news today costs 10,000 dollars.
- Really? - Yes.
Here you go.
Who are you?
I was sorry before. The nosebleed.
Back when you were rammed into the wall.
That was me.
It's fine.
And women should pretend it wasn't them, Ms Pi Na Ri.
Pi? No.
I should pretend...
Why is it raining all of a sudden?
I need to go for an interview.
Thanks, Hwa Shin.
Have a nice day!
Hwa Shin is the poster child for the nine o'clock news.
Let's drink.
- Me too. - Cheers.
Where are you going?
I need to use the restroom.
After one drink.
- Okay. - Cheers.
- Cheers.
Mr Lee.
Do you want to do a duet with me?
No. I want to sing alone.
Okay.
You're so cool!
Is it here?
I heard you have a blind date today.
Pi Na Ri. Why are you angry with me?
Just. Just.
- Pi Na Ri. - Yes?
Your strap snapped.
- Thank you. - Wait.
Do you want this?
- No. - Why not?
Just.
Did Lee Hwa Shin's blood pressure come down?
Yes. It's down to normal.
Where did you go?
Our surgeries are first thing in the morning, so let's sleep.
Come on.
Let's go.
What are you doing?
Whether or not I kiss someone...
is up to me, not you.
You may think I'm crazy,
but ending a three-year-long crush without ever holding hands...
is just as crazy, in my book.
It's because I did nothing,
that I couldn't end it and held on until now.
Nothing's holding me back now.
Also,
you shouldn't toy with a woman's feelings.
- Earlier, I was... - Yes.
I lost all feelings for you.
Hey.
It wasn't such a big deal after all.
Hey.
Hey!
I've let it all go now.
Hello, everyone.
Autumn is briskly approaching.
I am Kim Jong Tae, with the six o'clock News Morning.
I'm Park Jin.
Give me Na Ri's number.
- Why? - What do you mean, "Why?"
You acted all tough,
but you're scared too, aren't you?
Relax. That will hinder the anaesthesia.
Take a nap and it'll all be over.
Your breasts will be uneven.
Your breasts will be...
uneven too, you know.
It's time to go.
The person you have called...
Why won't she answer her phone?
Didn't you fire her?
You should forgive someone when they beg for forgiveness.
Have you no heart?
Do you think another station scouted her already?
It's been two days.
You saw how the ratings spiked.
The other stations must have seen it too.
What will you do about her slot tonight?
What else? I need to get her back.
- Call her. - Okay.
Why would anyone scout her?
I'm sure she's sleeping. Don't worry.
- The line is busy. - Her line is busy.
Oh, you were calling.
Bovie.
- Grab on tightly. - Yes, Doctor.
Do a biopsy to see if it hit the lymphatic system.
- Yes, Doctor. - Let's finish up. Irrigation.
Put extra attention into the new product displays.
- What about my mother? - She's coming tomorrow.
She says to come to the airport.
I think she spoke with Ms Geum Soo Jung.
She was in a good mood.
Isn't it pretty?
It'll look good on her.
- Yes. - I don't need to go today, right?
Sure.
I'll get the car.
Hold on.
I want to give this dress to someone else.
But then you'll tattle on me to my mother, won't you?
Someone else, who?
- A weather forecaster. - A weather...
What? Do you mean...
Eat air and poop cloud?
Are you cheating already?
Your mother said she's going to look at wedding venues.
Let's call it "cheating".
Let's say I walk down the aisle with the woman my mother chooses.
What's wrong with me?
Can't I see her in this dress...
and then decide whether it's cheating, pity, sympathy...
or just meddling in other's affairs?
I was just pretending to ask. No need to answer.
I can't refuse him when he's being so honest.
It's time to wake up.
Mr Lee?
Mr Lee.
I lost all feelings for you.
Are you awake now?
Yes.
The surgery is over. Good job.
We'll move you to your room.
How did it go? Did it spread?
Do I need radiation?
The doctor will explain everything in detail in your room.
It's over.
The doctor will tell me.
You can drink after four hours. I'll check your blood pressure.
Hang in there. We'll give you the painkillers.
Even with the painkillers, it will hurt today...
as the anaesthesia wears off.
Press this whenever you're in pain for more painkillers.
- Don't hold it in and press it. - Okay.
One, two, three.
(Unknown)
- Your call is being... - What is her problem?
Goodness. We're going to have a blunder on our hands.
Why is he being so foolish?
Thanks. Sure.
That helps.
Who's doing the seven o'clock today?
Are they going to make me do the seven o'clock live, too?
You're doing the nine o'clock.
You are so greedy.
Must the viewers see your sickening face...
twice in a row?
It's almost time, but they haven't said anything, that's why.
Why aren't they assigning anyone new when Na Ri is gone?
Do you think they scouted someone new?
Already?
Maybe they're skipping the weather.
- Why would they do that? - Why would they do that?
I guess not.
Sit.
Let's have someone volunteer before it's too late.
Any volunteers?
- Me! - Me!
Don't let Ms Geum catch you.
She isn't my wife. We went on one blind date. That's all.
The families finished discussions before you went on that blind date.
It's not cheating.
You feel sorry for her and want to give her a nice outfit.
That's all it is. I'm sure.
Your phone.
You have a call.
Whatever.
Answer your phone.
Gosh.
My water.
You brat. What are you doing to your superior at work?
Don't you know you can't have water right now?
Drink this four hours later, if you want.
Why didn't you bring anyone? You're such a pain.
It hurts so much.
Look who's talking.
Come on.
Darn it.
Your phone.
Turn it off if you're not going to answer it.
Just exercise your lungs.
It's bad if the anaesthesia remains in your lungs.
- Do it already. - I know. I know already.
It's so loud. That's more annoying than the pain.
Did your surgery...
go well?
I'm sure you would've preferred if I had died.
Look at that attitude.
I guess it went very well.
(Unknown)
I said to answer the phone.
I'm not expecting a call.
Then why do you have 100 missed calls?
What's this? This is Mr Oh's number.
Do you think the news is a time for you to show off your looks?
Do you think the news...
is a programme for you to seduce men?
Do you think weather forecasters are announcer counterfeits?
Do you think the news is a camera test...
to see if you could make it as a celebrity?
Do you think the news...
You do Pyo Na Ri's slot.
Take it off.
Change into something else. What is that?
Is this the army?
Look at her hazing them.
She should've been born as a man.
Right?
You're right.
Why weren't you picking up?
You were sleeping all day, weren't you?
Did you like playing for two days?
Get in here now!
Excuse me?
Am I working again?
Do you know how many times...
Forget it. If you don't show up, you won't get another chance.
Get over here!
(National weather service)
Hello, Sir.
This is Pyo Na Ri from SBC.
What's tonight's forecast?
Heavy rain?
Really?
SBC Studios, please.
Okay.
Yes.
What will be stronger, the wind or the rain?
Yes.
Which regions are at risk?
What's the precipitation?
Okay. 150 to 170.
Thank you.
Hi. I just sent you a picture.
Yes. Please put heavy rain in the Midwest as well as...
lightning and strong winds.
Yes. Let's use large arrows.
Yes. I'll let you know.
Yes. I'm sorry, but I'm en route.
Okay.
It really is you. The weather girl.
Were you visiting someone at the hospital?
Yes.
Not really.
Yes.
We almost missed each other.
Here.
No.
- Pardon? - This is...
for the seven o'clock weather forecaster.
- Bring it to her. - But...
Yes, Sir.
What about mine?
You should've stopped her.
What is this?
How important is a broadcast...
that she runs out the day of her surgery?
What if...
she bleeds from the surgical site...
I wanted her...
to get married and be loved by her husband,
so I was...
so sensitive about even 0.1g and very careful...
in operating on her.
How could she run out of here like that?
Applause.
She had absolutely no regard for what a doctor has to say.
She thinks it's all gibberish.
She thinks it's pure dog poop, that's what.
Are broadcasters...
fearless, ignorant...
or just clueless?
Do they think they have multiple lives or something?
They don't know how to cherish their body.
I know.
A single opened up.
Let's move.
Even if she comes back,
don't you dare take her back.
Move him into the single. Now.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Na Ri hasn't arrived yet.
Listen to me.
Let Na Joo Hee do it.
Don't worry. She'll get the ratings up.
She's prettier and younger.
She looks more high class. She's more befitting for our image.
That's something Na Ri could never even copy.
Should we?
Who? Who's doing it then?
- Here. - Thank you.
Why you...
You should've given it to the right person.
She's the seven o'clock weather forecaster.
Isn't she the poop girl?
Did they switch?
Yes, I hear you.
Make a decision, Sir.
Stop bugging me, will you?
Hi.
Stop looking for Na Ri, whom you fired, and decide.
Is Na Ri, who was fired, the person you...
In Seoul, Gyeonggi and Chungcheong,
the precipitation will be 150...
I'm so dizzy.
I wonder if she'll be on wearing Mum's dress.
Does your mum's clothes fit Na Ri?
She's the prettiest girl in the world when she wears that dress.
You'll see.
I'm sorry I'm late!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Sir.
Is she here?
Is Na Ri here?
Yes, she's here.
I'm sorry, Sir. I'm sorry.
Is this why you made me drink?
This isn't...
your spot any more.
Can you do it?
Yes. I can do it.
Whose dress is that?
Let's call it cheating.
I think I am cheating.
Hang in there, Na Ri.
I don't want...
to go to the single.
Why are they both standing there?
It's almost time.
Stand by. News title.
Three, two, one. Cue.
Can you really do it?
I can do it.
Even if I die, I'll die here on this spot.
Hang in there, Na Ri.
I think I am cheating.
I won't die from breast cancer.
I'll die of a heart attack because of you.
Whatever!
You never listen.
- No! No! - Wait.
Do you really plan to cheat?
No! No!
You're going to announce that I have breast cancer?
I should've died, but all I did was commit a mortal sin.
Does Hwa Shin also know that you're sick?
I can have a secret from you, right?
Does your friend...
have a girlfriend?
