(Episode 34)
Here it is.
My kids love how tender your jangjorim is.
It's probably even more tender because it's made with Korean beef.
Your children have a fine taste.
I guess so. See you next time.
Sure. Come again.
What?
- Mom. - What is it?
Is something wrong with Go Woon?
No, it's not that. The test result is out.
Dad and Go Woon are a match.
We can get ready for the second testing.
- Goodbye. - Thank you.
Hey, Go Ya. What's up?
What? Really?
(Lemon Balm Diet)
Hello?
What did you just say?
Really?
Goodness, Yang Sook!
Yang Sook! Yang Sook!
My goodness, Yang Sook!
They are a match.
My brother and Go Woon are a match.
My goodness. All deities of this world,
thank you.
Thank you so much.
I had a feeling that this will happen.
I saw a camel in my dream.
It suddenly put Go Ya behind its back...
and walked through an eye of a needle.
I mean, how can a camel walk through an eye of a needle?
So I figured something great will...
happen to Go Ya.
My goodness, this is great. This is so great.
What if they call us back to tell us...
that something was wrong with the test result?
Come on. Why are you worried about something that won't happen?
A big hospital like that wouldn't make such a mistake.
They said they're a match.
He's compatible with Go Woon.
(Hanguk University Hospital)
Dad.
Let's go.
Really, Doctor Han?
Yes. This is the result of the first test.
As you can see, the father and the son's HLA value,
the histocompatibility antigen is highly matchable.
Also, the cross-reaction test came out negative.
Then to put it simply...
If you two are a match on the second test,
you two can receive a kidney transplant surgery.
Well.
One moment.
How did we end up...
being a match?
We have different blood types. How did that happen?
You're blood type B, and your son is type A.
You do have different blood types.
But through plasma exchange,
we can remove antibodies in your son's blood.
Then he can undergo a transplant surgery.
Then how do we proceed?
Go Woon and his dad will both need to be hospitalized.
What? Hospitalized?
You need to go through the second testing.
We have to conduct another blood test.
Then a stool test, urine test, take an X-ray of your body,
an ECG, and a pulmonary function test.
Oh, and you're a man of his age,
so you need to go through an enteroscopy and a gastroscopy.
Oh, and we'll check you for any urologic disease.
But that test...
might be a bit painful.
Thank you.
Are you okay?
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Doctor Han.
This is unbelievable.
How can this happen?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Go Woon had to get a dialysis, so I was with him.
I see.
Do you not want to see him?
Next time.
Okay, I'll find a time...
and introduce you formally to your son.
Okay.
- Dad. - What?
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
It's what I should do as a parent.
I'm leaving.
Oh, and take this.
What is it?
I heard there is a great hangover soup place out front,
so I ran over and got some.
You love hangover soup.
Oh, right.
Thanks.
Do you want beef porridge or abalone porridge?
Abalones look great. Should I make abalone porridge?
Yes, go ahead.
Okay.
Was that Mom?
She wants to make porridge for me.
Did you say you wanted some?
Actually, she found medicine packet in my room.
Hey, aren't you taking those for your nightmares?
Yes. But thankfully, she thinks it's for enteritis.
That's what Grandma told her.
That could've been a huge trouble.
What if she found out I'm having nightmares again?
Goodness, it's a nightmare to just imagine that.
I wish I can share half of your nightmares.
You sound so cheesy and serious at the same time.
- You might want to hold my hand. - What if I do?
Come on. Guys aren't supposed to hold hands.
We're brothers, so it's okay.
Give me your hand. It's been a long time.
Stop it. It's gross.
Seeing you smile makes me smile too.
Did you buy something?
It's for Aunt Na Ra.
Are the red gloves for her too?
No, they're for someone else.
But I haven't had the chance to give them to her yet.
Who are they for? Why haven't you given them to her already?
I have no excuse.
I asked Grandma,
and she advised me to keep them until I come up with an excuse.
So I've been holding on to them, but I can't think of anything.
Can't you just say that you wanted to give them to her?
It's just a gift.
We're not even that close.
If I just randomly give her a gift,
she'll think it's strange.
Why doesn't she wear gloves in this weather?
She doesn't take care of herself.
She eats too fast,
and she doesn't notice it even when she has a high fever.
I've never seen a girl like her before.
Are the gloves for the girl who saved your life?
Did you figure that out just now?
Hold on.
That's it.
What do you mean?
You're right. She saved my life.
So?
She saved me when I got stuck in the elevator.
Now I have a reason for giving her the gloves.
It'd be my token of gratitude to her for saving me.
That's it.
What? This is so unlike you.
Just eat your food.
It tastes great.
Ms. Jang.
Oh, look who's here.
I was passing by, and I wanted to pay you a visit.
I'm glad you came.
It was a shame we couldn't talk long the other day.
I'm sorry I couldn't come earlier.
The thing is, I didn't pass WL Group Secret Recipe Contest.
After all the help you gave me,
I was too embarrassed to visit you.
Don't say that.
Have you been all right?
Yes. I'm looking for a job somewhere else.
That's great.
I'm sure you'll do great wherever you work.
Those who didn't give you the job made a stupid mistake.
Are you making chicken soup with medicinal herbs?
Yes. But I don't have enough ingredients.
I'm not sure how I should make the stock.
Well... What about using soybean paste?
Soybean paste?
Just like when you boil pork?
- Yes. - That sounds like a good idea.
I actually have a bit of time.
Do you want me to help you?
I wouldn't say no to that.
Director Choi didn't give Ms. Choi Go Ya the job...
just because she didn't graduate from university.
Aunt Sa Ra.
That girl looks familiar.
Who?
Lobster.
Oh, my.
Lobster looks familiar?
She's been a bit out of it lately.
- Mother! - What's the fuss?
Mother.
I'm not deaf. Lower your voice.
Bring this to Ji Seok.
I wanted to make something for him too,
so I bought some ingredients.
We were thinking of the same thing.
Right. That's not what's important.
What was that girl doing here?
Who?
I just saw a girl come out of this place.
- What about her? - It's that girl.
She treated me so rudely...
when I was buying lobsters.
I begged her to share the lobsters half and half,
but she insisted they were all hers.
She yelled at me,
saying we should do it by law. It was her.
What was that annoying girl doing here?
Didn't I tell you...
about the part-timer that I really like?
She's her.
What?
Are you saying she's the part-timer you were complimenting so much?
You don't have a good eye for people.
How could you think that girl is so great?
She has such a wicked personality.
Well, if she was so evil to you,
I'm sure you did something to upset her.
Mother. You've lived with me for 30 years.
How can you take her side when you've met her only a few times?
You should have seen the way she treated me.
Whoever her mother-in-law will be,
that girl will give her so many headaches.
She couldn't be worse than you.
Mother.
If she were to become my granddaughter-in-law,
I'd do anything for her.
Is that so?
Why don't you give birth to another son...
so that he can marry her?
Cut it out. You're being ridiculous.
I can let you decide everything else,
but I'll choose my daughters-in-law myself.
Stop having absurd ideas.
I'll never accept a daughter-in-law like her.
My goodness.
What about me who has a daughter-in-law like you?
How could she even imagine my son marrying a girl like her?
Too bad.
Ji Seok has already found himself a perfect girl.
It's been a while since he left for the hospital.
Why hasn't he called yet?
What should I do now?
What do I do?
(Na Ra)
Ma'am, when will I get my soup?
We're boiling it right now.
Stop making a fuss. You came too early.
Fine. Why would you yell at me?
It's cold out.
The person you have reached is not available.
Hello.
Aunt Na Ra.
Ji Seok.
Where are you?
I'm home.
I'll stop by.
Here?
Why?
I'm on my way back to work, and I have something for you.
It's okay. You don't have to come here.
I'll stop by at your office soon.
It's no big deal.
I'm near your old place right now.
How do I get to your new place?
What?
- Hi. - You're here.
Hi.
Here. It's a New Year's gift.
Ji Seok, thank you so much.
It's so pretty.
(Thank you for raising me. I love you.)
What should I do? I didn't get anything for you.
You're back.
That's the best gift I've ever received.
Oh, my. I'm going to cry.
This place looks amazing.
You think so?
I'm glad you're doing so well.
Yes.
Hey, Ji Seok.
It's you, Ji Seok.
Anyway, what brings you here?
He came over to give me something.
Ji Seok, go.
Nonsense. He came all the way here.
You can grab a drink with your uncle.
I have some hangover soup too.
He sounds pretty drunk. You should go inside. Bye.
Come on. You aren't going anywhere.
Don't be like that. My home is tiny, but you're welcome to come in.
- Honey. - What?
Does he not want to come in because my house is too tiny?
No.
I'm sorry.
Ji Seok, he's really drunk.
Go now. Goodbye.
Let's go inside. My goodness.
A tiny house?
He's such a bluff.
I can't believe you.
My goodness. What's wrong?
You need to get sober right now.
Do you want to tell everyone that we live in a tiny room?
Gosh, my head hurts.
What did I say? Did I say something wrong?
A tiny house?
Are you kidding me?
What? I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
But I doubt that he noticed anything.
The place looks huge from the outside.
This is why you have to be a servant at a rich man's place.
Aren't you glad we moved into this room...
instead of a room in a multiplex housing?
Is that your way of trying to comfort me?
We didn't get into any trouble today,
but I really can't let Ji Seok find out that I live like this.
And above all, if your daughter finds out that I live like this,
I will bite my tongue and kill myself.
Goodness, don't say that.
So let's please go back to how we used to be.
Get some money from your daughter as soon as possible, okay?
My goodness. I'd love to.
But there's a problem.
A problem?
Honey.
The result of the first test is that we're a match.
- What? - I passed.
What? I heard the chance are very slim.
That's what we heard.
And I have done such a difficult thing.
My goodness. Now...
Now what?
Honey. I have decided.
On what?
- I can't do this. - What?
Let's forget about the whole thing. I'm not a young man either.
What if something happens to me?
You will become a widow.
I'm not doing this. I can't.
What are you doing?
What do you think? I'm calling Go Ya to call this thing off.
- Give it to me. - What about the investment?
My body is more important than some money.
At this point?
What?
Well, I did go through with the first test.
She might be willing to give me some money.
How does that make any sense?
If you give up now,
you're practically showing them what you were thinking the whole time.
You went in thinking you won't be a match.
But if you back out now because you two are a match,
they'll realize what your intentions were.
Are you trying to make money by selling my organ?
I didn't say that.
Why do you think you will be a match during the second test?
What?
There is a higher chance you won't be a match for the second one.
If you 2 aren't a match after the 2nd test, it's over.
Then you won't be going through the surgery,
and now you have enough reason to ask for money.
It's like killing 2 birds with 1 stone, right?
So let's not be rash and ruin the whole thing.
Let's go through the second test, okay?
Can you give up on your investment at this point?
No. There's no way I'll give up.
San Deul.
What brings you home now? Why aren't you at work?
Go Woon found his match, so I wanted to stop by...
and throw a fried chicken party.
You always need some beer with chicken. How did you know...
I got some beer?
In our past lives, I'm sure we were...
A married couple.
- Let's go inside. - Come in.
All right, the two old women will make a toast first.
We still have the second test left. Stop making a big fuss.
You're doing this again.
You need to stop popping our bubbles.
Isn't it good news that they're a match?
She's right, Mom.
Yes, Aunt Yang Sook. Sharing sadness decreases it by half,
and sharing happiness doubles it.
That's so old-fashioned.
Recently, if you share your sadness, it becomes your weakness.
If you share your happiness, people get jealous.
My gosh.
I'm sure you started talking even before you walked.
You're right. I'm a smooth talker because I started to speak early.
Then you should learn how to spell too.
Your punctuation is worse than Go Woon's.
What?
- Mom. - Go Woon, you're up.
Hey, Go Woon.
Hey, we were all sitting here waiting for you to wake up.
Why? Is this a special day?
Go Woon, you will be hospitalized soon.
Why?
There is someone who wants to give you his kidney.
Really?
Yes. He went through the first test...
and found out that you two are a match.
You're getting hospitalized for the second test.
If we're a match on the second test,
then can I run around and play soccer?
- Of course. - This is awesome.
Let's all wish for a promising result.
Okay. So who is this man?
- What? - The guy who's donating his kidney.
It's just this man we know.
I'll introduce him to you later.
Okay.
Please let me get a surgery this time.
Please let Go Woon become a great soccer player.
Please let Go Woon become a great soccer player...
who makes a lot of money to help me live a luxurious life.
Goodness.
All the deities of this world,
I don't care who you are. If you let Go Woon get his surgery,
I'll change my religion.
Aren't you going to do it?
Don't even dream about it. She wouldn't do anything like this.
Thank you for letting Go Woon come to our family.
All right, let's make a toast.
To Go Woon's healthy future.
All right.
- To Go Woon! - To Go Woon!
This is great.
Eat up.
- Are you okay? - Why?
Come to think of it, you probably needed to be comforted...
after you got dropped out of that contest.
But after what happened with your dad,
you couldn't get the comfort you needed.
To be honest,
I was comforted by him.
Him?
The guy who turned in my application for me.
What?
He told me that...
when nothing goes my way,
I should think of that time as a vacation from above.
That it's better to think of that time...
as a vacation than a time of suffering.
Did he say that?
Yes. And then he said,
"Still, you did a great job."
That was...
very comforting.
Perhaps that's what I wanted to hear the most.
I didn't make it, but I still did a great job.
And he ended up saying that to me.
Oh, and back at that club, it turns out that...
he didn't make his friend...
pour water on my face to get his revenge.
He even fought with that friend because of me.
Really?
Yes. He stood by my side...
without my knowledge.
Come to think of it, he was the first person...
to realize that I was sick.
You're very strange right now.
What?
I've never seen you smile...
while thinking about a guy.
What?
Me? I wasn't smiling.
Oh, it's getting late. I'm going for work.
My little brother has kidney problems,
but he might be able to get a transplant.
My dad is giving him his kidney.
When you love someone, that person's smile makes your heart flutter.
No way.
- What are you thinking about? - What?
It's nothing. What's this?
A response to Mr. Lee Jeong Su's application for divorce.
You told me to...
find out whether his wife is solely responsible for their divorce...
and what caused them to drift apart,
and I'm looking into it right now.
We have papers from similar cases, right?
- Can you get them for me? - Sure.
Hold on.
By any chance,
has anyone's smile ever made your heart flutter?
Of course.
Who was it?
Whenever female singers smile,
my heart starts racing.
Sending you a signal
Why did I hire him?
Why are you asking?
Does someone's smile make your heart flutter?
I don't know.
It's probably the heavy workload that's putting a burden on my heart.
It starts racing randomly.
Be more careful.
Well, I'm leaving now.
Bye.
Wait.
Why is my heart fluttering?
This is unlike you.
I've never seen you smile...
while thinking about a guy.
I didn't smile.
Hey, kid. Do you want to buy it?
Then you shouldn't touch it.
If you touch it, other people can't buy it.
You're not supposed to play with food.
You'll get in trouble for this.
Why are you crying?
What happened?
What's wrong?
Why are you crying, my baby?
She scolded me.
What?
Did you scold my son?
He was touching our products.
- I just wanted to teach him... - What?
Who are you to teach my son?
Who gives you the right?
You're just a part-timer at a cafe.
I just...
Look at her. If you don't study hard,
you'll have to work at a place like this too.
So study hard, okay?
Leave my son alone and mind your own business.
- Ma'am. - What?
I'm afraid we can't sell products...
your son touched.
So? Do you want me to pay for them?
- Yes. - Oh, my goodness.
I don't believe you. How can you be so shameless?
Hey, you made my son cry. You should be begging me...
instead of trying to sell something to me.
Also, my son's hands aren't dirty.
I can even use a spoon he used.
For our other customers...
Are you serious?
Here you go.
It's okay, baby.
I'll teach her a lesson.
Where's the owner of this place? I want to talk to her right now!
- Ma'am. - Honey.
(Forever Enemies)
After wishing me a good life, why is she talking to me again?
There is a lower chance for a match on the second test.
I guess blood is thicker than water.
It must have been hard for you. I'll be a better husband.
Really? Me?
You're busted.
He might want to do something nice for your family,
but he might have other intentions.
Who says I'll give him my kidney?
That's never going to happen.
