It's time for morning rounds.
Patient Mo Sung Ae, how are you feeling?
Thank to you, I'm not dead and still alive.
I don't know how to thank you. For being so fearfully concerned.
Of course I should be fearfully concerned.
Since there's someone who's fearfully putting the fear in me.
But thanks to you, I was able to save my life.
What are you talking about?
It's just something.
Tell me if something isn't not feeling well.
I just want to be discharged soon.
You said the surgery went well, so why are you holding onto me and making me use money?
If the hospital makes money, do you doctors split up the profit?
Mom...
Of course there's something we share.
So if you care for me at all, you can't get discharged.
And if you find anything uncomfortable, tell me at any time.
Tell the guardian to come to my office for a moment.
-Guardian, the doctor wants... -I heard.
Yes.
Doctor Goh, I just checked the chart, I think a surgery is necessary.
There are no other options at this point.
It's fifty fifty, but let's give it a try.
I'll convince the guardian.
I'll send the chart in the mail, so check it over.
Please bring me the chart for Patient Shin Na Young.
Um...
-Please send this in the mail to Dr. Goh. -I understand.
Should I come back later?
Just a moment, please.
Patient Shin Na Young needs a surgery,
So check the blood pressure and the vitals again.
And please ask them to check the schedule for the surgical room.
Yes, doctor.
And make sure to get the name and the contact number for the patient's guardian.
-I need your name and contact... -I heard.
Na Ah Ra?
Have a seat.
You haven't told your mother the current situation, right?
Because we thought if we told her the truth, she won't be able to handle it.
So we've decided not to tell her the details.
For right now, she thinks she's all better.
So?
Excuse me?
I wanted to know the opinion of the family.
In a word, are you intending on never letting go of your mother?
What are you talking about?
Even the kids that would cry up a storm in the beginning,
There are a lot of times when they just give up later on.
The saying that there aren't any filial children in a long illness, it's true.
Why are you saying things like that?
Are you saying that we're going to throw our mom away or something?
Even though you're a doctor, I'd rather you don't say things like that so carelessly.
You didn't even know about it
until your mom collapsed and came to the emergency room in an ambulance.
That's...
All human being are alike.
Even though a person will give up their life for their child,
but putting in even this much effort for a parent being a nuisance is what a human is.
Saying things like 'we should've done a full exam sooner' is all because of regret.
My mom can live, right?
The saying that a person's life depends on God...even us doctors believe in that.
Please help us a lot if the future.
My mom has to live.
What should we do about the check?
Excuse me?
I should definitely be reimbursed. 2+2=4.
I got an emergency call from the hospital, so I left without even saying bye.
But I paid for the check before I left.
Since I called them, you just need to cancel your card.
Satisfied?
Yes.
Then how are you going to pay me back for unleashing your fury on me?
That's the first time I've heard such things since I've been born.
How can you say such things...
You're sorry, right?
What a temper.
Let's call it even by having dinner together sometime.
Normally I would just endure it and let it go,
but I know how to say call it even too.
I'm sorry. I was just so fired up.
I'll really buy you dinner.
That's your homework.
I'll remember my homework.
But...don't call me to you office from now on.
Coming in here makes me feel intimidated and kills my spirit.
How much more does it have to be alive... your spirit is perfectly alive right now.
Okay. Thank you.
Normally I would just endure it and let it go,
but I can't just let it go.
You're going to break things!
The lady at the salon called... what a joke...
Even though she wants to fire us because our side dishes doesn't taste good,
but because of the handsome oppa, she's going to eat it for another week.
What the heck does she mean by she'll eat it? Huh? Eat it?
The factory told us not to deliver as of tomorrow.
Why?
He said it doesn't taste good.
Whatever. They should just eat whatever and be satisfied with a full belly,
what amazing stuff did they grow up eating to act like such know it all?
Where are you going?
I have to meet up with the factory manager, and have it out with him.
What took you so long?
Was I out playing? You knew full well I was working.
He said to deliver starting tomorrow.
Really? What did you do?
Do you know how to run a business? You don't know anything.
I'm tired. Don't talk to me.
Here...my patient, time to take your pills.
Strangely, I'm starting to feel cold.
I wonder if you have a fever?
What's wrong?!
Hey! My patient is having trouble. Hurry up and go in there.
What's wrong with her?
Go take a look! How can I tell you anything?
-I have to know the conditions... -Just go! Why are you talking so much?!
Are you going to take the responsibility if something goes wrong with her like this? Huh?
-Move her to the ICU. -Yes
What do we do about mom? They moved her to the ICU!
What?
Okay. I'll be right there.
-What? -Mother was moved to the ICU.
I'll come with you.
What's wrong?
Did something go wrong with the surgery?
We're going to have to wait and see.
What's that supposed to mean?
Then she could die?
Mr. Jo!
How can this happen, huh?
What happened?
How long has she been like this?
It happened suddenly while she was taking her pills.
The doctors don't know either.
I thought she was okay after the surgery, how can this happen?
-Mom...mom! -Honey...you can't go in there!
What happens if my mom dies? What happens if my mom dies?!
Dae Ra!
What do we do, Dae Ra?
Is everyone gathered?
I'm sorry. I can't make it today.
I know it's an important gathering, but there's an emergency patient.
I'll call you at another time.
Okay.
Yes.
My mother...what happened to her?
Have a seat.
It's a lot worse than we had expected.
If she doesn't recover from her condition, you should prepare yourselves.
What's that supposed to mean?
Then you're saying your mom isn't all better?
Yes. During the surgery, they noticed that it's already spread elsewhere...
So they have to keep doing the chemotherapy before they can know anything.
We lied to mom that she's been completely cured.
The hospital is telling us that we need to start preparing ourselves...
Are you okay?
I know what that means.
I know what it means too well.
What it means to prepare ourselves...
Please don't let on to mom.
See? He stayed up all night at the hospital again.
I'm sure he went straight to work after staying up all night.
Her kids dumped their sick mom onto him.
At this rate, father will be the one to get sick.
Wait and see. I'm sure he'll drag that grandma into our house.
If that happens, you know, right?
Yeah, it's me. What happened to your mom?
I'm dying from the suspense!
She was just transferred back to her room.
Really? That's a relief!
Even though she passed this hurdle,
but if she takes another turn for the worse, she'll be back in the ICU.
She can't go back in there!
No matter what, we have to make sure she doesn't go back there.
As soon as someone comes to take over, I'll come straight there.
What brings you here?
Let's talk.
Go ahead.
What, here?
Start.
Just why are you being like this?
What?
We all know what you've been going around doing.
That grandma had a lung cancer surgery, didn't she?
I know you go there to take care of her all night.
So? What does that have anything to do with you to come here and whine?
How can it not have anything to do with me?
Just stop.
Don't do things like that.
Mind your own business.
I can't!
I'm your son!
I can't send you to that grandma!
then am I just supposed to throw her away when she's sick?
I'm someone who started as a waiter at a bar,
and retired as the director of a nightclub.
Did you forget that?
That I'm Loyal Young Pal?
What does that have anything to do with this? What loyalty...!
Even if you do everything else the way you want,
this you can't.
I can't stand to watch this!
You suffered for 7 years because of mom...
To be honest, at that time...
I felt more sorry for you than mom.
Since mom was going to pass away anyhow, but what about you?
After suffering through all that while caring for her for 7 years...!
Aren't you even sick of it?!
Did you already forget about it?
How could I have forgotten it?
It was insufferable.
You suffered and your wife suffered too.
It's not just the patient that has a hard time.
It's hard on the family as much as it is for the patient.
That's why a person shouldn't get sick.
During that time, I've aged another 10 years.
That's why...I'm asking you not to do it.
Jin Sang.
But I still liked it when your mom was alive.
Because I had a purpose for living.
After your mom passed...there was no meaning.
Even though I stayed alive because I couldn't end my own life...
I...
was going to follow in your mom's footsteps.
How can you say something like that?
How can you follow her there?!
How bad do you think I felt for me to have considered that?
I wondered what the point of living was...
Should I die this way, or that way...
When all I thought about was dying,
she's the one saved me.
After meeting her, I found my laughter again.
I started to speak again, and gained the weight back.
That's something you guys would know too.
For the person that saved me like that,
what's wrong with taking care of her while she's sick?
If she needed it, I wouldn't even hesitate about giving her my kidney or liver.
I can understand how you feel, but you should consider your age.
You're going to be 70 any day, what if you collapse at this rate?
Even if I end up collapsing, I'm going to do what I want.
Do I need to live sneaking around my son's watchful eyes at my age?
Relay the message to Ms. Lee too.
Not to send you to me to say all this.
She was begging me to find her a desk for the kids...
tell her if she's going to behave like this, there's no way.
Let's see if I find any for her!
You can go.
Check her temperature once an hour to see if she has a fever,
and if something happens, contact the nurses immediately.
Doctor...understand why I lost my temper the other day, okay?
I don't think I can be understanding.
I can't control my feelings very well because I have a hot temper.
But I'm soft as butter on the inside.
You're similar to me.
Please keep a watch on her so she doesn't have a spike in her temperature.
Don't worry. I'm good at things like that.
-We're here. -We came.
You should've gotten some more rest.
Even though we should've stayed last night, we went home because you insisted on staying.
We're so grateful and sorry.
I feel so bad I don't know what to do.
Thanks to you, we're the only ones that got some rest.
You're mom's boyfriend so it's a given that you should do it, right?
Of course. I'll take care of myself, so you guys need to take care of yourself.
The patient's guardians need to eat and rest well so that you could take good care of her.
Now...her fever is down and she's okay. Don't worry.
She slept well last night.
Her fever did spike a few times last night, but she's a trooper for coming through.
You should go home and get some sleep. That way you can come back again.
I don't even know how to thank you... thank you so much.
Stop thanking me! I'm not a stranger here.
I'll be going then.
You're going to work?
Of course I have to go to work. Let's switch off again later.
-Goodbye. -Be careful going back.
Work hard.
Mr. Jo!
Hello.
The...hospital?
My father collapsed?!
Father.
Father!
-Fa...father! -Father!
What happened to my father?
Are you his son?
Why is my father like this?
I'm sorry. He collapsed suddenly.
People who knows how to be sorry acts like this?
What do you take my father for to order him around like a dog?!
Why are you dumping your mother on my innocent father?
-What lousy people... -You really have no conscience.
Did they get married or something? Aren't you guys being too much?
-I'm sorry. -I'm sorry.
Wait a minute. We shouldn't just beg for forgiveness like this.
Look here...
Normally I'd just endure it and let it go, did we force him or something?
I was honestly feeling bad, but that feeling has all disappeared now.
Mr. Jo did it because he wanted to, so you shouldn't be like this.
We even told him not to come!
What kind of people are these?
Our father did this because he liked it?
Even if he did it because he liked it, you people should've stopped him!
Just what the hell are you guys doing? Why shout when you haven't done anything right?
I was wondering who you were, but you're the woman that came recently.
You came by our house to spy.
Seeing your behavior, I can see you're just a low life.
This woman...how dare you... low life? low life?
You speak like a jerk.
-No Ra, stop. -Stop it. We were 100 times wrong.
How did we wrong him a 100 times? We've only done wrong once.
From now on...don't ever lure my dad in.
I can't send him to you.
He suffered for 7 years because of my mom.
Do you know how hard it is to take care of a patient?
Just ask anybody.
They're not even married, but dated a little bit.
So does it make sense to have an old man take care of a cancer patient and make him collapse?
You really don't understand. How ignorant.
How many times do I have to tell you? We didn't tell him to do it,
but he did it because he liked doing it!
I'm sorry. I really don't have anything I can say to you.
We did wrong. We'll never let anything like this happen again.
So... what did they say is wrong with my father?
He not sick, but he collapsed due to exhaustion.
They said if he got some fluid, he should be okay.
How do you know whether he's going to be okay or not?
You really talk so lightly.
Our father is 70 years old now.
Do you think it's easy to stay up all night?
If he really gets sick from this, are you guys going to be responsible for it?!
See? Look at how well he's sleeping. What's with all the overreaction?
Father.
Father, open your eyes!
Where am I?
Why am lying here?
What are you two doing here?
The hospital called to say that you collapsed.
-What did I tell you?! -Be quiet.
Oh my, this is refreshing. I slept so well being at the hospital.
But wait..have you all be standing here from worrying about me?
While tossing the real patient aside?
Go home. Go home and get some real rest.
I should make sure to get the rest of this IV so it doesn't go to waste.
You don't need the rest of this, so just go home.
I don't want to be here any longer.
You guys are going to pay for my father's expenses, right?
I'm going to pay for it.
Don't worry, we'll take care of it.
What are you talking about? He's the one who received...
Hey, hey...how can I just leave? I need to at least say bye to her!
You don't need to say bye!
I have to go see her! Let go!!
-Goodbye. -Goodbye.
Okay. I'll see you later.
What do you mean, you'll see them later? You won't be coming here again!
What a jerk...!
Is what I said wrong?
To be honest, it's because he wanted to do it!
Think about it from their point, you wouldn't stand for it either.
And telling them to pay for the treatment, what kind of manners is that?!
I did it on purpose because they were pissing me off.
Do you think I would actually expect him to pay for his treatment?
When he became like that because of us?
I know the protocol, even though I'm a middle school dropout.
Welcome...
Oh my...Dean...hello.
So this is where you work.
Yes.
It must be hard for you to work in your condition.
Our Teacher Na needs to make lots of money...
What brings you all the way here?
I passed by a nice cake shop, and thought of you...
Enjoy it with the kids.
You shouldn't have...
Teacher Na Dae Ra is doing well?
Yes.
I heard about your mother-in-law. You must be very worried.
Thank you for your concern.
Well then...
Goodbye.
Thank you for the cake!
What's this?
$5,000?
Here.
Where did this come from?
I know you wouldn't have bought some fish that cost $40-$50 each...
The Dean from the lesson school sent it, right?
Take it back to her right now.
Instead of just saying no, think about it.
With your abilities, she said you'll be famous quickly!
Then becoming a professor on TV or something will just be a matter of time.
We need money in this house. I need money!
Then I'll just go earn you the money!
How are you going to earn me the money?
No matter what I do!
I told you I can't work there, right? I'm not made for those tutoring schools!
I want to become a professor, I don't want to become a lecturer!
Take it back right now!
If you accept it one more time, that'll be the end!
Hello Dean.
Although I'm grateful for the gift, I can't accept...
You're home.
Where are the kids?
Oh...I put them to bed a little while ago.
I didn't even know that when I rang the bell.
What happened?
You said his kids came and dragged him out?
I'm so upset.
Even though I can understand the point...
What's with the cake?
Oh...I was really craving a cake today... so I bought one.
You did?
I'm sure it was pretty expensive since it's made with creme fresh.
I bought it because I wanted to eat it.
I know how to eat expensive things like this too.
Good for you. Who said anything about it?
Eat what you want as much as you want. We can do at least that much.
You must not be in a good mood, right?
Of course not.
Even though we did do wrong,
they were causing such a ruckus at the hospital, it was humiliating.
They think we're bad guys that are trying to dump a sick mother on them.
Why are people like that?
Mr. Jo did it because he wanted to.
But we still should've stopped him.
Between taking care of her, and working, he didn't get any sleep.
And even last night, I think he stayed up all night working on getting her fever down.
If I was his kid, I'd be angry too.
Even when a young person like me finds it hard.
Anyways, what are we supposed to do now?
We're the one in trouble right now.
No kidding.
He was a real big help.
If we could find some free money at times like this, it would make things easier, right?
Even if it's for the hospital fees, if someone gave us $5,000, it would be nice.
Honey.
If by any chance...if someone helped us out to help with mother's nursing fees...
If someone just gave it to us to use without any interests or anything...
You'd want to use it...right?
What are you talking about? Who'd lend out money without asking for interest?
That's all debt. That's not right.
I think I should get a little sleep after washing up.
The surgery went well, so what are you saying?
What does the doctor say?
He said it can happen at times.
Do you think there wouldn't be anything wrong just because you had the surgery?
Even flu bugs come and go.
If I been a younger person, I'd already be back on my feet...
I guess I must have gotten old.
We're here for our checkup.
Patient Oh Sung Ae, how are you doing today?
I guess money is good.
Since you're telling me if I keep wasting money here, I'll live.
Your color is looking good... you're not hurting anywhere?
I'll share good news with you.
Are you going to give me discount on my hospital charges?
That's not something I can handle.
You can go home today.
Are you serious?
Yes.
You got yourself a really good boyfriend. He took care of you all night.
You survived thanks to him.
Boyfriend? Whatever...he's so old.
Dating like that helps in getting better real quick.
Date to your heart's content.
You can go home this morning.
-Hurry up and thank him too. -Thank you.
Doctor Jo Eun Geol!
I was curious about what I need to do when my mom gets home.
If there's anything we need to especially be careful of...
or what we need to do about her food...
If she's going to receive chemotherapy, she needs to be in good physical condition.
Make sure she eats well no matter what it is.
I'm sure all her functions will start to detioriate from now on,
but don't express your concern, and just take care of her well.
If something happens, come to the hospital right away.
And the head nurse here will explain the details to you.
When the patient is about to be discharged, tell the guardian to come to my office.
Yes.
-Guardian, later... -I heard.
About the bits that we couldn't cut out because it was too close to her veins...
I was wondering what you thought of radioactive surgery.
What is that?
It's a surgery where a high level of radioactive is shot directly into cancer cells.
Normally, it's procedure to do a treatment with the radioactive,
but depending on the situation, we recommend the radioactive surgery.
Because the rate of success is higher than a normal radiation treatment,
the treatment success rate is good, and side effects are less.
Then of course she should get it, what are you asking for?
Because the procedure is on the expensive side.
It could be burdensome.
No matter how expensive it is, we need to do it.
Just do all the good things for my mom unconditionally.
-Just wait. We need to hear him out. -What do we have to listen to?
If the doctor says it's good for her, we just need to do it all.
What's the cost?
It's about $10,000 per 3 shots.
$10,000...! It's that expensive for mere 3 shots?!
If we got that done...can my mom live?
If you combine this radiation surgery and the chemotherapy,
you'll be able to extend her time a little.
Even though it's rare,
there's about 5% chance that she could be completely cured with the radiation surgery.
What does that mean?
Why do doctors talk about percentages all the time?
Do these percentages actually mean anything?
Then I guess my mom may be a part of that 5%?
Dae Ra...
We'll do it.
No matter what it costs, we'll do it.
Of course. Is money the problem right now?
Hello.
Yes.
I heard you were coming, so I waited.
Me?
Why?
Just a moment...
What is this about?
This...please use it to help with mother's hospital fees.
Excuse me?
I know it's not much, but it's everything I have.
Please take it.
I don't know if I should be accepting this...
You can take it. Son-in-law's are her kids too.
I was going to pay for all the hospital fees if I earned a lot of money...
But this is all I have...
I have to get going. I need to clean and everything else before mother gets home.
Then...since you're giving it to me, I'll accept it.
Anyways, thank you.
It's nothing.
I'll be going then.
$1,000?
Is this real?
It's not fake, is it?
My name is Shin Ki Han.
If I end up dead, whomever finds this, please use the money to cremate me.
I'm an orphan who has nobody.
Please I ask of you for this favor.
I thought I'd never be able to come back here.
A person's life sure is unpredictable.
What nonsense...let's go in.
What the heck?!
Congratulations.
Congratulations. Congratulations on mother being discharged from the hospital...
We're not even kids, why do things like this and spend money on it?
Since it's already done, just let it go.
I've done the cleaning, and the boiler is warming up nicely,
and all the blankets are freshly washed and laid out for you.
How can you turn the boiler on already?
Hurry up and turn it off.
Don't worry about money. You have to keep your body warm.
Hand me my phone.
Who are you going to call when you just got home?
You should lay down and rest.
I have to call and let people know I'll start delivering food again.
-Mom! -Mom!
Are you crazy?!
What do you mean deliver food?! You're a patient!
You don't know when you'll die...!
What are you talking about?
Um...when you're sick, how are you going to deliver food?
Even if you're going to do it, do it when you're all better.
Yeah mom, you can't do it yet.
The doctor said you can't push yourself.
It's not too much. I can do it slowly.
What's the use of just sitting around?
If I was able to get discharged from the hospital, then it means I'm all better.
Give me the phone.
I'm seriously going to go crazy.
-Mom! -Mom! Listen to us on this one.
The doctor told you not to do anything for 3 months and just rest!
How can I rest for 3 months? I'm sick of playing around.
Have you ever even played around?
From now on, don't do anything else and just play. Do whatever you want.
If I just play, is someone going to bring me money?
If you keep this up, I'm going to get angry.
If you start walking around with the food tray as soon as you get home from the hospital,
What do you think the neighbors will say? They're going to curse at us kids.
Do you like it when your kids get cursed at?
That's what I'm saying.
You're tongue is sharper than mine today.
Ah Ra...after you get off of work today, I would like for us to meet at my house.
Bring No Rah with you too.
This is mother's hospital bill.
It's a lot more than I had thought.
Because she had the semi private room, the room cost is higher than the procedure.
Why are the common rooms in the hospital so scarce?
-The reason why I asked to see you... -I'm sure it's about money.
No decisions will be made by the siblings saying 'you do it, I'll do it'.
So I want to make sure to get this straightened out.
As promised, we took care of mother's first hospital bills.
Eun Jong, sorry and I'm thankful.
I don't know what else to say to you.
I'll take care of it from the next one.
You do it next time, and I'll do it the time after...
If we went about it like that, I don't think it's going to work.
Mother needs another surgery in another month...
How we're going to come up with that $10,000...
let's get that straightened out here today.
What do you mean straighten that out?
Anyone who can do it should do it.
Who's going to be able to do it?
How can siblings draw a line down and say 'you pay this much, and I pay this much?'
Of course that's how it should be done.
From now, whenever mother gets chemotherapy, she'll be in and out of the hospital.
But we can't have a meeting like this whenever that happens over hospital bills.
I would like to be able to pay all this without getting any help from your sisters too.
And be able to boast about it.
But our situation doesn't allow for us to do that.
How can your situation not allow it?
You complain all the time about not having any money,
but you're the only one who lives in a nice fancy apartment like this.
If it was me, I'd sell my house and pay for it.
Sell this house?
If you don't want to sell it, take a loan out against it from the bank.
Conversation itself is impossible with you.
-No Ra, this apartment... -I know, I know.
Your parents bought it for you when you married Dae Ra.
It's implanted in my ears.
You can say that even knowing it?
Eun Jong, just let it go.
Wait.
Since your parents bought it, it's yours?
So it means that my brother has no rights to it.
My brother sure is nice. To hear something like this and not be able to say anything?
How long have you been whipped?
No Ra! If you have nothing else to say, just keep your mouth shut instead.
Since I don't earn any money, shut my mouth and sit still?
How is it whenever subject of money comes up, everyone's frothing in the mouth to get me?
You realize it when they start calculating when a person is about to die.
You don't know what will happen to a young person, so how can you be so dismissive?
I heard the chemotherapy isn't even all that expensive because of the insurance.
Stop making a big deal.
Okay, since we only need to pay 5% for the chemotherapy,
it'll be about $100 a month.
And the cost of medication will be covered by the insurance too.
How can every one of you...
You're all so obsessed about mother that you can't think about what else is necessary.
Out of people I know, there's someone who died of lung cancer.
The truth is, chemotherapy isn't the problem.
It's when their immune system is down, and they get other diseases that's the problem.
While going in and out of the hospital until they die,
the money that it requires is no joke.
Everything keeps repeating itself. Taking this medication and that medication.
Taking this examination and that examination,
You have to repeat that countless times until you die.
Do you know how tenacious a person's life is through those times?
Until their breathing stops, you're sticking it out with money.
And that house had some money...
After that, they used up all that money, and with nothing else left,
The whole family was completely ruined.
That's what cancer does.
This problem isn't something that should be figured out based on your moods,
But really needs to be thought out realistically.
To be honest, I can't do all that.
To be blunt, all we've got left is this house.
And because of No Ra, we're paying off her private loans too.
And we have 3 kids.
It's difficult enough to raise 3 kids on an obvious teachers salary.
On top of that...
All the people that are here are filial...
Who would make mother feel unwanted?
Chemotherapy, or whatnot, you're going to want to do it all.
And in another month, there's going to be $10,000 added on for the radiation surgery.
Who in here is going to lay down $10,000?
Instead of just chanting that you need to save your mom no matter what,
Let's nail down in detail how we're going to come up with the money.
You're right.
Then why don't we divide it into thirds between Dae Ra, No Ra and I?
Me too?
Aren't you mom's kid too?
Just sell me off then.
Even if I knew where to work, how can I pay a third of it?
Go out and earn money.
You're healthy and young, if you make your mind up, what can't you do?
When I'm out there in this condition earning money myself.
Don't just say 'mother, mother' through words, go earn some money and help out.
What's the use of me gritting my teeth and running towards it with a smile on my face?
When you're not cooperating?
What's this 'Gritting your teeth and running towards it with a smile' out of the blue?
There's a Candy song like that.
That Candy?
Endure it endure it, why cry? That song?
Are you Candy or something?
When someone gives a fake smile and goes for it while gritting their teeth,
Do you know how scary that is?
Just think about it. Gritting your teeth and smiling through it.
Just thinking about it is scary.
What nonsense...
After living for awhile, I guess you hear all sorts of nagging.
Why are you nagging about this when my mom doesn't even nag about it?
You're getting off easy just hearing something like that.
Until you get a job, I'll give you a break. No Ra-2, Ah Ra-3, Dae Ra-5.
20%-30%-50%. That good?
Dae Ra, instead of that, No Ra-2, you-2, and me-2. Let's do it that way.
That's okay, right Eun Jong?
Yes.
If you're going to assign it however you wanted, why did you all me here?
Why does an unemployed person like me have to pay 20%?!
Be quiet! We gave you a big break.
Leaving money problems aside,
Mom needs to keep getting chemotherapy, so what do we tell her?
Mom thinks she's all healed.
I'll tell her a roundabout story so she doesn't get suspicious.
You've grown a lot.
She didn't even talk back to Dae Ra in the past.
She used to be punished by him in a classroom by having to keep her arms raised.
I doubt she really got punished by having to keep her arms up.
Do you know how many times I've seen it?
Whenever she used to sit in front of Dae Ra, she would always kneel down in front of him,
and always use honorable speech with him while calling him a teacher the whole time.
Now she's sitting on top of his head and doing whatever she likes.
I don't know what Dae Ra is afraid of, but he can't even budge.
When they have 3 kids, and they're still living that, that would be even weirder.
What did she say earlier?
Oh, what's the use of her gritting he teeth and running towards it with a smile?
What a joke.
Show me a woman in this country who's not living like that right now!
I'm doing everything with my teeth gritted too. Me too.
You? What are you running towards?
That's something an average housewife would say when they're feeling frustrated.
You go home. I have to stop by the office.
Just wait until I get my hands on her.
No matter what it is that she's trying to get to,
I'll make her get to it with tears in her eyes.
Your birthday comes after mine too...
Hey! I'm an early 1970!
How ignorant.
Mother, I'm going to the fish market. Let me know if there's anything you'd like.
Did you not hear what I said?
I told you to go instead of doing things like that.
Mother...just don't tell me to leave. I don't even have a place to go to.
That's your problem.
I'm so embarrassed in front of the neighbors.
I'll make lots of money and proudly marry her and live well.
Is the money going to just dumbly sit around until you come and grab it?
It's not like you're young.
What are you going to do at this age without any skills?
Just get out.
Yes, I'll be back.
If I make seaweed soup with fresh abalones it'll taste really good.
Honey. Come out here.
Everyone sure is good about calling me out here and there.
I'm coming, coming.
You boil it with abalone shopped in there.
You wash the seaweed nice and clean... and you put it in there like this...
And you boil it for a moment like this, and it'll taste out of this world.
If you eat this with rice in there, it tastes so delicious.
I guess you're the only one in this house without a single worry.
You talk about how you grew up watching other people, but you don't notice anything.
It must be nice for you to live like this.
I'm not thinking about anything else. I just want mother to get better soon.
If mother is going to get chemotherapy, she needs to make sure to eat well.
You made seaweed soup.
What do you think you're going to grab here to be out and about instead of studying?
Joo Ra, welcome. You must have luck in food.
You said you're getting the house fixed, but it's the same.
What did you get fixed?
-The lamp post...! -The lights...!
That is...the new post was put up, and the broken bulbs were replaced.
That's no ordinary job.
That's right. That's what we did.
What did you come here for?
To get some clothes.
Where's mom?
Sleeping.
Don't bother mom, and just get your clothes and go.
The number you have called doesn't exist. Please check again.
What?
Goo Hyung. We can't get a hold of your wife.
Mom called the number, but she got the massage that the number doesn't exist.
Why are you looking for her?
She's the daughter-in-law, of course mother-in-law should be asking for her.
Mom wants you to stop by.
Me?
When?
Okay.
Mom, I'm home.
Come in here.
What are you about to say now?
I got a call from the matchmaker.
She says the girls are lined up for you. Why wouldn't they be?
Mom!
Don't bother saying my name, and go on the blind date.
I told you I don't want to.
You're seriously driving me crazy.
Before you go crazy, I'll go crazy.
She showed me a few girls, and they were all better than that girl.
Looks and conditions.
Start meeting them one by one.
This is no use.
I'm going to marry Ah Ra.
You don't know when to quit.
Is marriage a joke?!
It's enough you played house for 7 years, why get married on top of that?
So unbecoming.
They don't even have the basics, and her mom has cancer.
What are you going to do about her care?
Don't you think I know what happens to a home when there's a patient in the hose?
You saw it too.
If a household has something, at least they can do something with money.
It's obvious what happens to a household that doesn't have anything.
Over a mere girl, you're going to shove your precious life into the trash?
You fool.
Mom.
Anyone who gets old gets sick.
-You're no exception either. -What?
What I'm saying is...
It's something that can happen to anyone.
And breaking up over that just doesn't make any sense.
I didn't like her from the beginning and I don't like her to the end...
You're not even married yet, and what's this already?
This is evidence that the two of you are not suited for each other.
Don't have any lingering feelings.
The manager will come to see you at work tomorrow, so meet with her.
I knew your mom would do that.
You can't win against your mom.
Just once in my life, I'm going to beat my mom.
You guys are already down the river.
To be truthful, if Ah Ra was hanging onto you, she's a woman with no conscience.
You too?
If you're going to be like that go, instead of sitting around my office.
What are you going around doing these days?
I'm more sane than you are.
My dad is going nuts about me being his successor...
but it's not my preference.
If someone was watching this, they would think you're something grand...
Not anyone can do that. Just wait and see.
If what we're researching right now takes off, everything will be taken care of in one shot.
If we were going to do it halfway, we never would have even started it.
I've been pretty grand ever since I was little.
You bluffer.
I'm going.
Bye.
Hello?
Yes, I'm Choi Shin Hyung.
Excuse me?
Hello. Nice to meet you.
I'm...this type of person.
Yes...I'm busy right now.
It'll just be a moment.
I've come all this way, can't you buy me a cup of tea?
At least just water... I'm thirsty...
Drink this.
Just a minute.
What are you doing?
That's all. Have a seat.
I have to make sure to survey the goods.
With what you've got, I think we can do business.
Make your point simple.
I don't have any intention to make it complicated.
Girls these days look at men's looks first.
His wealth comes after that.
They talk about personality or whatever, but that's all a lie.
Don't look at your watch, I'll end this quickly.
Actually, it's our principle to process one person at a time,
but due to your mother's special request, we'll process them all at once.
There...pick one.
I don't know what my mother may have said, but I'm not going on any blind dates.
That's what they all say in the beginning.
However, once you've been caught by me, you'll ultimately go on them.
Let's not exhaust each other.
Just a minute.
It's me.
Really?
Meet them for right now.
That's how you can cut her off. Those couple managers are ruthless.
Especially if your mom was involved,
She'll be chasing you to the end until you go on one of those dates.
Do as she tells you to for now.
And tell her that every girl you meet is not to your liking.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
If you're sorry, then do as I say.
But...can I ask you one thing?
Yes.
Your mother said you come from a great household
Where the future President is going to come from...
Can't you just give me a small hint as to what kind of household it is?
Is it a household that's out on the television a lot regarding elections?
That is...I can't really tell you...
I understand...since it's top secret, it's mum's the word?
If a president comes out of the house down the road, you can't ignore me, okay?
Then...I will briefly describe them for you.
Now that I think about it, my relationship with this company is deep.
I've been here once because of some woman before.
Looks, age, spec, she didn't have a single one of those,
but she acted like such hot stuff, I let her down in one blow.
So that she can get her senses back.
How?
I introduced her to a guy with a bobbed haircut that women hate the most.
Bobbed haircut?
Wait...
I saw that mother got discharged.
I brought her some chocolates because I figured they're all gone.
Why didn't you tell me?
Stop being interested.
What are you doing here?
To get mom's medication.
Talk to me for a moment.
You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go somewhere...
Don't play with me.
Play with you?
You know.
Why are you doing this to me when you're being like that?
Am I your insurance?
Let go.
Tell me so I can understand.
What do you mean, insurance?
You know!
Forget it, let go. I have nothing to say to you.
-Let's talk for a minute. -I said, forget it.
When we're done, let's grab a bite to eat. I have something to tell you.
I have nothing to say to you.
But let's still eat! If not as lovers, then as co-workers.
I've waited for more than an hour at the restaurant the other day.
Try waiting for an hour smelling all the meat grilling while other people are eating it.
It's enough to make you want to die.
I'll see you there, okay?
You like the meat from that place.
Team Leader Na!
I'll be waiting. You got that?
Let's do homework.
I'll send you the address, so come there. I'll be waiting.
Oh My. I heard PD Choi was going to go on a blind date, and it's true!
I liked you from the first, but I don't know how your heart feels.
Ever since I was little, if I didn't do my homework, I couldn't sleep.
-Let's go eat. -You look pretty when you smile.
-I'm not very pretty. -Just when you smile.
If Shin Hyung and So Hyung found out you were like that, it'll be a sight to see.
If mom dies, with all this many people in this country, only our mom will be gone.
I can't fathom mom not being here.
Whenever I think about that, I feel like I'm going to go crazy.
The Dean gave us money?!
That money means I'll be selling my body. That's the price of my body!
-If you can sell your body, then sell it! -Just sell it!
-I'm going out on a blind date tomorrow. -Blind date?
It's my mom's wish. To see me get married and live well.
So you go on your way too.
