(Episode 31)
So was it that day?
When I went to the culture center saying that I'd kill Oh Na Ra?
Did Go Ya meet her that day?
Yes.
I'm sure there's a reason.
She must've had a good reason to see her dad...
to go so far to deceive us to meet with her.
So what could it be?
- You know, don't you? - No, I don't know.
She said she'll tell us when she comes back.
We'll just have to wait.
Gosh, this is really frustrating.
Maybe I should've followed her.
Did she meet with her dad or what?
Stop it.
It's been a while.
It feels just like yesterday that you got into college.
You're old enough to get married now.
Are you dating anyone?
No.
You're at a perfect age to be dating someone.
Why don't you have a boyfriend?
I was busy working.
I see.
I heard everything from your aunt.
That you've been a very brave girl.
So what do you do?
Your major was...
Did you major in Korean Literature or English Literature?
- Korean Literature. - Right.
Oh, how's that rascal, Go Bong?
She never had any luck in studying.
Did she get into college?
Does she make a living for herself?
Aren't you curious about your youngest kid?
- What? - The child...
which my mom was pregnant with at that time.
He's a son. He just got into elementary school.
How can I go straight into money talk?
Or maybe we should eat first.
Right, do you still live in the same house?
To be honest, I was really attached to that house.
That was the first house I owned under my name.
I've always wanted to visit,
but I never had the courage to.
And it's been 10 years after a blink of an eye.
Time flies, you know.
The day we last saw each other feels like it was just yesterday.
I've been looking for you for some time.
Yes, you're right. My wife told me so.
When I heard that from her, I honestly couldn't believe it.
The Go Ya I know is...
not someone who would look for me.
You're right.
I was...
also wanting to meet you.
So when I heard that you were looking for me,
I thought it was the perfect chance.
Why did you look for me?
- Dad. - Yes, speak away.
- Can you save my brother? - What?
My brother is sick.
He's sick? What happened?
So...
you wanted to see me because of his hospital bill?
So that's why.
But what can I do?
I'm in a place in life that paying for that isn't a big deal.
However, I'm not in a position to do that now.
I'm looking for an investor myself.
You should've looked for me earlier.
If so, I could've paid the hospital bill in full.
No, it's not the money.
He needs your kidney.
What? My...
- My kidney? - Yes.
What do you mean?
He had bad kidneys since he was born.
So he's been getting dialysis which is painful even for adults.
He's living day by day.
His stepping on thin ice, trying to survive every day.
- So what? - The only way he can...
get better is to get a kidney transplant.
But none of ours match,
including Mom, Go Bong, Aunt Tae Ran, and even San Deul.
He and I are both blood type A, but ours didn't match either.
Then...
I thought of you.
You are...
the only one who's left.
Well...
Are you asking me...
to give him my kidney?
Did you look for me because of my kidney?
Yes.
Hey, how can you say...
Goodness. You...
You're completely insane.
I mean, you're...
Goodness.
What? His kidney?
Did you ask your dad to give up his kidney?
Is it because of Go Woon?
Is that why you've been looking for him?
Yes.
It's been forever since Go Woon's name was...
put on the transplant wait list.
I couldn't just wait around.
He's still very young.
What if his condition suddenly worsens...
How can you decide to do this by yourself?
Goodness, come on.
She probably didn't want you to collapse after getting concerned.
You get extremely angry whenever someone mentions them.
But still, this is wrong. How can she keep this a secret?
Be quiet. Go Woon might wake up.
So what did he say?
Yes, what did he say?
Is he willing to get examined?
No. He declined.
He said no?
You asked him to save his son. Why did he say no?
She suddenly popped up in 10 years...
and asked for his kidney. I'm sure he was surprised.
Aunt Tae Ran, don't take his side.
Have you forgotten about the kind of man that he is?
I knew it.
He's still the same in that he doesn't care about his kids.
In my opinion, you did this in vain.
He's not someone who'd give him his kidney.
So what will you do?
I'm going to convince him no matter what.
It took me so long to get here. I'm not giving up like this.
Like Aunt Tae Ran said, I'm sure he's just shocked.
I'll do anything to convince him otherwise...
Goodness, Yang Sook.
Aunt Yang Sook, are you okay?
My goodness.
Oh, gosh.
Let's go in.
My heart is racing too.
Imagine how your mom would feel.
I'll go in.
Mom.
How could you fool me?
I'm sorry about not telling you I met Na Ra.
I was going to tell you...
when Dad promised a transplant.
I didn't want you to find out like this.
But Mom, it was hard for me too.
Seeing Na Ra again was the last thing I wanted to do.
But I had no choice.
I had to meet her to find Dad.
We have to save Go Woon.
And Dad is the only person who can do that.
You know Go Woon's dream is to become a soccer player, right?
You want to see him running around like other kids, don't you?
Be quiet.
I wish I could hit you.
But...
Are you sure you can persuade that jerk?
What?
Are you sure you can change his mind?
Yes. That's the only way to save Go Woon.
All right. Do it.
Make sure to persuade him.
Like you said, by all means,
make him give Go Woon his kidney.
Then...
I'll forgive you for deceiving me.
Okay. I will. I will change his mind.
After 10 years, how could she say such a thing?
What happened?
I can't believe it.
I met Go Ya today.
That stubborn girl. She finally met you?
So? What did she say?
Why was she looking for you?
She said... My goodness.
- She wanted my kidney. - What?
Her little brother apparently has kidney problems.
Her little brother?
I mean the one Yang Sook was pregnant with when I divorced her.
He was born with kidney problems...
and needs a transplant.
None of his family members were a match.
She said I was their last hope.
So? What did you say to her?
Did you say yes?
Am I crazy? I don't want to have my belly cut open at this age.
I told her not to contact me again.
That's all?
You should have hit her so that she'd come to her senses.
I had no idea.
I was expecting investment.
Investment?
Why would you receive investment from your daughter?
You said...
there were a ton of people who wanted to invest in your item.
What?
- Well... - No way.
Was that a lie?
Yes. I don't think any of them will invest.
My goodness.
Wait. Does your daughter have any money?
She has real estate.
With that, she could give me more than enough.
Oh, my.
It would have been great if she could help me.
Whom should I ask this time?
Hold on.
What is it?
I might be able to find a way.
Really?
Did your dad pass away?
No.
He abandoned us. He left us.
That's why my brother is sick.
When he left us,
he was in my mom's belly.
He had to share her sadness.
It keeps bothering me.
Why is she looking for her dad despite all that?
Who is that man?
Dad, please.
I thought our conversation was over.
I know how dumbfounded you are right now.
You probably can't believe it.
But please give it a second...
My goodness.
I can't focus because of you.
If you stand so close to me, you might hurt your forehead.
Please.
It's not even worth considering.
You showed up after 10 years and asked for my kidney.
How ridiculous is that?
- He's your son. - We didn't live together.
I haven't even seen him once.
He looks a lot like you.
He looks just like you when you were a kid.
Once you meet him, you'll see what a lovely kid he is.
He's so sweet and thoughtful.
He'll make you proud of your decision to save him.
So please don't turn your back on us.
Fine, go now.
I'll give it a second thought.
Dad.
Don't be so excited.
All I'm saying is that I'll think about it.
- I appreciate that. - Move.
- Thank you, Dad. - Go away.
Are you not meeting Mr. Ha's daughter...
because you're interested in someone else?
It definitely made Ji Seok's eyes shake.
Why? He's interested in announcer Lee Jeong Hwa,
and I saw through it.
If they end up getting married,
that'd be so great.
What's this?
Excuse me! One more bottle, please!
Gosh.
Hey.
What happened to you?
Oh, my.
What a scene.
Hey, what are you doing here?
I don't know. I was at a club with my friends until a moment ago.
Gosh, my stomach hurts.
Can you give me some honey tea?
Have it at your place.
I can't go all the way to Daejeon.
I can't even walk to the bathroom right now.
How much did you drink?
Gosh, you reek of alcohol.
I had to drink. I got stood up yesterday.
I'm not surprised.
This is not the first time a guy has stood you up.
It wasn't a guy.
I went to the tarot cafe you booked for me,
but no one was there.
What? Really?
Yes. It was closed.
Did you tell me the wrong date by any chance?
Hold on.
No. Take a look.
This is the text he sent.
It was yesterday.
Wait, did he really stand me up?
Gosh, I'm getting annoyed again.
- Did you try calling him? - Of course.
I know he's popular, so what?
We've waited for months.
How could he not show up without saying anything?
Too bad.
You went all the way there and had to leave right away.
I didn't leave right away.
What do you mean?
(Sandeul Tarot)
What is this?
You are a dead man.
(You are a dead man.)
"You are a dead man."
Who did this to my door?
What is this? Samdol?
(Samdol Tarot)
Who was that guy?
She was looking for her dad before. Could he be...
I'm back.
The wind is really freezing today.
Great job today.
Did you get witness accounts from the neighbors?
Yes. I also have a statement of the police.
- What's that? - This?
They're giving out free coffee samples.
WL Group? This is...
Why? Should I get some later?
No.
See one, and you've seen them all.
If this company can't hire the right person,
how can they make good products?
- Did someone fail to get a job? - Yes.
She was the best candidate after the second screening,
but they dropped her on the final one.
I have no idea who, they chose if they didn't hire her.
My goodness.
That company isn't very wise.
Where did you get this?
From the building across from this place.
She'll be discouraged if she sees this.
That gold digger!
Oh, I mean, I saw that woman that you thought was a gold digger.
Where at?
Hello, do you want to sample some coffee?
How is it?
Then you should come visit. Come have some coffee.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
(Would You Like Coffee, freshly brewed coffee in a can)
- I'd like a cup too. - Sure.
- Hello. - We meet for the second time today.
- What? - I saw you this morning,
standing with some guy.
- I... - Go Ya, I need a hand.
- I'm sorry. I have to go. - Sure.
Can you take this?
Come have some coffee.
Why is she working for a company that dropped her?
Goodness.
What happened?
You know, Go Ya came to see me...
and practically begged me.
- Goodness. - So what?
I told her as you said.
I asked her for some time to think.
Can I really say that I'm up for it?
Yes, just tell her that you'll give him your kidney.
And what if I'm compatible with him?
Why do you think it'll be compatible?
A kidney transplant doesn't happen that easily.
That's true.
Just keep your focus on getting...
some investment from your daughter.
You have to at least pretend to get an examination...
to make her give you money later on.
What if the examination hurts?
I wouldn't make you do it if it really hurt.
Don't worry. I called the transplantation center,
and the first examination is very simple.
What about the second one?
Why do you say such a thing?
We can't let it go that far.
Keep hoping that you two will not be a match.
And do you think I will let anything scar your body?
Of course.
I don't feel the same when I go to the restroom nowadays.
Go Ya was almost crying as she begged me...
to save her brother.
I almost thought of giving him my kidney.
Don't forget.
We're putting on a show.
I know. It's a show.
Yes, Ji Seok.
A scarf?
I wanted to get one for you.
But if you needed something else, I can get that.
Why? Because we'll finally spend the new year together in 10 years,
so I wanted to get you a present.
Yes. Then I'll get you this.
Okay.
Can I get this gift wrapped?
That's the most popular item among young women.
Really?
- Is it for your girlfriend? - What?
No.
Can you just get that one wrapped up?
Why did I buy these?
Come have some coffee.
Okay. This is my way of showing love for humanity.
What are those gloves?
That's odd. They seem like women's.
Ji Seok, I heard...
you went on a blind date with Ha and Jo Law Firm's daughter.
Things must be going well.
- Word spreads quickly. - Is that true?
Are things going well between you and the date?
That's not it.
I got tricked by Mom to go on that blind date.
And these aren't hers.
Then whose are these?
Who is it?
Hey, do you have any information?
He has a girlfriend, doesn't he?
You're right. Are you dating someone?
Whose are those?
Do you date everyone you buy gloves for?
Do you know what my nickname is?
Knife-hand Lawyer.
I've divorced over a couple hundred married couples with this hand.
How do you think that was possible?
That's just proof that shows there are way too many people...
who get divorced because they can't stand to be with each other...
after getting married because they didn't want to be separated.
Well, I guess so.
The nearest couple around you ended up like this.
I understand that you are pessimistic about marriage.
- You should go. - What?
Ji Seok, you only see couples that want to get divorced.
People who have a great marriage say...
that getting married is...
a way to get the best ally of your life.
Of course.
And they sometimes end up tormenting your life.
Don't you know what Socrates said?
"Marry, and you will regret it."
"Then don't marry."
"You will regret it even more."
Socrates.
A man who always talked behind Xanthippe's back...
- spoke with a forked tongue. - Is that so?
Then this is a quote by John Lyly, a British writer.
"Marriages are made in heaven..."
"and consummated on earth."
A British poet, Lord Byron, also said,
"All tragedies are finished by a death,"
"all comedies are ended by a marriage."
And there's also a Jewish saying that goes like this.
"There are two things that should be as delayed as possible in life."
"Death and marriage."
These are the facts of marriage.
I don't want to leave behind a winning goal called dating...
to score an own goal called marriage.
My goodness. That's why you're a lawyer.
Oh, right. Uncle Jae Woong.
Have you heard anything from Ms. Choi Go Ya at the hospital?
- Who? - Ms. Choi Go Ya?
My life savior.
It seemed like she was looking for her dad.
I'm not sure.
I don't think they're in touch.
Their dad has never shown up...
to the hospital to this day.
Why are you suddenly asking about her?
He's right. Why?
Nothing. I have to use the restroom.
He barely ate. Why is he using the restroom?
Anyway, who do you think he bought these gloves for?
I wonder.
Do you think it's someone we know, or is she a stranger?
I'm home.
Wow, you made rice cake soup. This smells great.
Of course, I made it.
My mom made it for us to all dine together.
Everyone else was enjoying the new year,
but our family had a difficult time.
Tonight, we'll celebrate New Year.
Okay. Let's eat.
Wash your hands first.
What? Okay.
Who is it?
It's Dad.
- What? - Really?
Answer it.
Hello.
Yes. Okay.
What did he say?
He wants to meet.
Maybe he's made a decision about a kidney transplant.
What are you waiting for? Go meet him.
Okay. I'll be back.
If he refuses to give it to us, take it out with your own hands.
Don't be ridiculous.
I thought I heard Go Ya.
Well... The thing is,
she has to meet someone urgently.
I see. Oh, it's rice cake soup.
What are you all doing?
Let's eat.
You're early.
- Hello. - Sit down.
As it's New Year, everyone is going somewhere.
There was a lot of traffic. Have you been waiting for long?
No. I just came.
You must know...
why I wanted to see you.
Yes. Did you think about it?
Yes.
Go Ya.
To be honest, even though he's my son,
I've never even met him.
To think that I'll have to go through surgery at my age...
Think about it. I'm not young anymore.
At my age,
even if you just sprain your back, it might become serious...
and even cause you to die.
- Dad... - But...
you've been looking for me...
for the past 10 years to save your little brother.
I couldn't turn my back on you.
- Dad. - All right.
Go Ya.
It must have been so hard for you.
Don't worry anymore. I'm here for you.
I'll give him my kidney...
for your sake.
Are you sure?
As your dad,
I can do this much.
Dad.
On that note,
let's book an examination first.
We better do it as soon as possible. Right?
All right.
I love this.
- You look like a model. - Really?
- You look great too. - You think so?
Hold on.
Isn't this too expensive?
I'll receive investment soon.
We have to pull it off successfully.
We will.
- Let me see. - Oh, my.
- This looks great on me. - Look at that.
Mom!
What happened? What did he say?
Did he say no?
No. He said yes.
He wants to book a test.
Really?
Mom, Go Woon can become healthy now.
Go Ya.
- Mom. - Go Ya.
(Forever Enemies)
As long as I can save Go Woon,
that doesn't matter.
Are you threatening me?
I want yours too.
You're scary.
I'll take off your contemptible mask.
Keep it. You'll soon have an excuse.
Does your boyfriend really work at the school?
I failed?
I'll work hard.
I'll make sure you're stabbed in the back.
Mom, the test just started.
I can stop your brother from having a transplant.
