Mom!
I knew it.
We were just...
Mom!
Yes. I'm right here.
You...
Don't get mad at him. Get mad at me.
Was it Mr. Seo?
Don't listen to what she says.
Yes, Mother-in-law.
Mother-in-law?
When did she become your mother-in-law?
Do you have another daughter besides me?
What happened was...
Initially, we were just acting like we were in a relationship.
Then we decided to end acting like we were dating,
and an article was written about us, but then we really...
decided to date again.
What are you talking about?
Why is it so complicated?
To put it simply,
I love Se Gye.
Now I understand you.
My daughter is a nice girl...
but she gets embarrassed easily.
When she gets embarrassed and says strange things like this,
you should explain what she means more often from now on.
Mom.
I won't disappoint you.
If you have something to ask, you can ask me anytime.
There's nothing to ask. I just wanted to have a drink.
Mom!
- Shall we? - Okay.
What did you think of my mom?
She laughs loudly but has a soft tone...
and has a low-pitched voice.
She has a bright personality and pretty fingers.
She walks...
exactly the same as you.
I'm sorry...
you suddenly had to go through this.
She has something in common with me too.
We both love you dearly.
Good night.
Ms. Han.
We didn't finish earlier.
Goodness sake.
Is he a playboy?
Did you kiss him?
No.
We didn't kiss.
Then what were you doing earlier?
That was...
Well...
I tripped and fell accidentally.
What were you doing, without even kissing him all this time?
How pathetic.
What kind of mom says that?
Then what about you? When did you and Dad first kiss?
I kissed him before we even started seeing each other.
You naughty lady.
How did you and Dad first meet?
Through a friend.
Why did you want to date him?
Was it love at first sight?
Love at first sight, my foot.
I didn't really want to date him,
but your dad pursued me relentlessly.
What was it like to date him?
I'd say it was...
moderately sweet and exciting.
Then why did you want to marry him?
I liked that everything was moderate with him.
When something is too hot, it either boils over...
or simmers down and sticks at times, you know.
I thought we were going to keep that moderate temperature...
and live like that our whole lives.
But you couldn't.
It's too hard.
- Se Gye. - Yes?
You can do it.
I couldn't, but you can.
Mom, don't you have to go home?
You said you have to water your plants.
My plants aren't important now.
They can all die.
Among everything I've raised, you're the most important to me.
- Nice, we don't have to pay. - Thank you.
It's fascinating that you girls always know when I get paid.
Don't you have a shoot?
Are you giving up your career now that you're dating?
Is it nice to have a rich boyfriend?
- One question at a time, please. - Okay.
Her mom caught her with her boyfriend.
- Their relationship is like a joke. - Hey.
It sounds like you get caught habitually.
Why don't you just make it public?
Goodness, look who's talking.
Is it nice to have a rich girlfriend?
Hey, she's not my girlfriend.
You two don't even know how to date properly. You're all talks.
Yes, baby.
Did you have a good sleep?
Yes. I can see you, of course.
- I have a lot of time these days. - Did you hear her phone ringing?
- Se Gye is taking a break now. - I didn't hear it.
Is she acting like someone called her?
Yes, I'll call you. Okay.
Goodness. My phone is on vibrate mode.
Hey, did you hear her phone buzzing?
I should only take supporting roles...
so that Woo Mi can have time to date.
As a woman, I want to ask you to do that.
But as your manager, I have to say no.
It is nice to have all this time though.
I can hang out with you guys like this too.
Well, I have to get back to work.
Mr. Seo, did you get married without telling me?
Why do you ask? Is there an article about me getting married?
No, there are no articles.
But your mother-in-law is here.
Your mother-in-law. She's looking for you, her son-in-law.
I didn't know what you'd like or dislike,
so I used red meat, seafood, and poultry.
Is this too much?
I should be treating you.
No, I wanted to do this.
Eat up.
Thank you.
It's good.
I'll cook for you like this whenever I have time,
so...
please take good care of Se Gye.
Do you have some time after lunch?
Everything is so delicious.
I think it's now my turn to treat you.
I can't believe this is part of my job.
- Joo Hwan. - Yes.
I'll give you a bonus.
Just smile, will you?
- Mom. - Gosh, you startled me.
Did you go to his office to meet him?
Yes.
Why? Can't I even meet him?
All right, fine. Let's say you can go there and meet him.
I don't want to say it's okay, but let's just say it is.
But what are all those?
What about them? Why?
I made lunch for him, so he bought these to thank me.
You're killing me.
Keep it down, you wench.
How can I keep it down?
Why can't I get gifts from my son-in-law?
- When else would I get to do this? - Why are you calling him like that?
Who says he's your son-in-law?
He's lost so many things since he met me.
Why must you add on to his burden?
What are you talking about?
What has he lost? Where is he going to find a girl like you?
He should be grateful that you're with him. You're perfect.
You have no idea, Mom.
You don't know anything.
I don't know what's wrong with my mom.
- Why? - Why did she go to your office?
I enjoyed her company, and the food was good too.
I'm sure many people saw her.
I'm sorry for putting you in an awkward position.
It was totally fine. And the food was good too.
I guess you really liked the food she brought.
Everything was delicious,
and it was nice to give gifts to the mother of the person I love.
Gosh.
Do you feel better now?
- No. - No?
You have a long way to go to make me feel better.
So let's meet tomorrow.
All of a sudden?
Let's be together from morning to night.
Well, it's just that I have a lot to say to you.
Let's talk tomorrow in person.
You got it or not? You did, right? Okay, bye.
That all sounds like an excuse.
I keep gaining weight because my mom has been feeding me too well.
I have to eat low-calorie foods.
Rice noodles are very low in calories, you know.
- Are you bragging now? - Yes, I admit.
Frankly, I was bragging a little.
It is something to brag about.
You were so nice to my mom.
Thank you.
Thanks for the gifts too.
- If she made any mistakes... - No, she didn't.
She wouldn't, of course.
She's your mother.
Gosh, my mom always does that.
Even when I got my 1st boyfriend at the age of 15,
- she met him secretly and... - Why talk about an ex-boyfriend?
I was just taking an example.
Why did you have to take your ex-boyfriend as an example?
We were 15. He doesn't even deserve to be called my ex-boyfriend.
Fine.
It was just a fling.
A very passionate fling.
We were 15.
- I won it. - Really?
500,000 dollars.
It doesn't...
mean that you actually won 500,000 dollars.
The pictures have to match...
for you to win the money.
You've never bought a lottery ticket before?
You pathetic wealthy man.
Scratch the rest too.
It's not just about money anymore.
My pride is on the line.
You lost?
Yes.
My cards are not good.
Go.
What are you doing right now?
So cold.
A dagger flies and aims for my heart.
But I don't have to worry.
My hands are faster than his eyes.
Gosh, what's the big deal? Is this really necessary?
It's not about money anymore. My pride is on the line.
Let go of it.
How many have you written?
About 10.
Your typing is too slow.
How many have you written?
About 50.
(Han Se Gye is the best.)
Write 30 more.
I love Han Se Gye.
Times 30.
- I love Han Se Gye. - She's gorgeous.
- She is the queen of acting. - Han Se Gye is so pretty.
Han Se Gye, you're beautiful. I love you.
100-faced beauty. She looks absolutely stunning.
In the direction of hair growth.
Start from the cheek.
The neck.
Around the mouth.
Stop laughing. You might get hurt.
- Can you finish today? - Yes.
I'll be done soon.
When you're done, feel your face with your hands...
to see if there is any hair left.
You're done.
Hold on.
- You're really done now. - One more time.
One more time.
Do you have to shoot tomorrow?
As I play a supporting role, I don't have many parts.
I have only one scene.
Too bad.
Why? Did you want to meet tomorrow too?
Should we do that?
Oh, that's me.
You said you work out here every day.
Then you must see me every day.
It's been Photoshopped too much.
Even I didn't know it was me the first time I saw it.
I'm sorry.
I got too excited.
Like a fool.
I'm really sorry.
I'm okay.
I'm really fine.
- Even if you don't recognize me... - But I'm not fine.
I'm not okay with it.
I...
want to see you.
I want to be able to recognize you.
I guess this is how it's going to be.
There are things I've been putting up with,
and now you have to put up with them too.
It's the same with me.
(Han Se Gye, Seo Woo Joo)
(Han Se Gye)
(Sharp nose, plump and red lips)
(Hairstyle, necklace)
(Yellow and navy cardigan)
(Help me.)
What are you doing here? You came to see me?
Yes.
You can go.
What is it now? You want me to do another nice thing?
No. I want to do a nice thing myself.
Ta-da.
I guess you haven't had any cake yet.
Since you don't eat much.
But it's your birthday.
I'll light just one candle.
I won't sing because I think you won't like it.
Blow out the candle.
I got a plant...
as a birthday present.
And the plant means...
"happiness that will definitely come."
I know I shouldn't be like this,
but if I can have my part of happiness,
I think it's you.
Sorry?
I like you.
I think I do.
I'm...
kind to everyone.
So it's easy to get me wrong.
But the only one I love is God.
I want to follow in the path of the Lord.
Okay.
I've been told that quite often.
Since I was in elementary school.
So you don't have to be upset...
You said you didn't like bad people.
But...
why are you being bad to me?
By the way, I hate cake.
Although I don't have a religion,
I'm in a bit of a hurry.
Please give this man to me.
If you do, I'll make many offerings to the church.
I'm sure it will be a bigger amount than you think.
I'm asking you to negotiate with me.
So, please give me that man...
Give Ryu Eun Ho to me.
I'll be waiting for a positive reply.
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you two?
What? What is it this time?
Why do I always regret later?
I should've tried my best.
I should've tried a bit harder.
I agree.
Why do I always regret later?
I shouldn't have tried my best.
I shouldn't have tried too hard.
What are you two saying?
Is this some sort of a secret code match?
(Mom)
Why aren't you answering?
Can't you see that I'm busy? My hands aren't free.
There's no use answering. She'll say the same thing.
The same thing?
Get married, and stuff like that.
Already? No.
Are you opposing as a friend or as a president?
I'm opposing as both.
Hey, just go ahead and get married.
Do it when I'm still around.
If I enter the Seminary, I won't make it to your wedding.
Are you really going this time?
I submitted an application yesterday.
- What? - What?
Why are you telling us now?
You can't move.
She's telling you not to move.
Can I move my feet?
Gosh, this is like a total comedy.
What about you? You're like the star of a soap opera.
- Can I move my feet? - Your nails are finished.
Why now of all timing?
- That hurts. - Who is this?
- Hello? - Are you Han Sook Hee's guardian?
Sorry?
- Mom. - Hey.
You're here.
What...are you doing here?
You don't have a schedule today?
I thought you were too busy to come.
What are you doing here?
Why are you lying in here?
It's difficult to discover pancreatic cancer at an early stage.
The early symptoms are even similar to ordinary stomachaches.
If there are any symptoms,
in most cases, it's when the cancer has already progressed.
When she arrived at the emergency room,
she already knew about her cancer.
What are her chances of living?
For this patient...
it's less than 10 percent.
Then...
how much...
How much time does she have left?
About a month, at most.
I can't believe this.
I really can't believe it.
- Mom. - Yes?
Why are you doing that?
I'm making clothes for Kingkang to wear when it gets cold.
Is that what you really want to do now?
When will I do it if not now?
Aren't you even angry?
Don't you feel frustrated?
I am angry. I do feel frustrated.
But there's nothing I can do.
Do you...
know what I was doing?
Before I came here,
I was getting my nails done.
When you were sick and rolling around in pain,
I was getting my nails done.
- Se Gye. - When you called me earlier,
I...
didn't even know what was happening.
I thought you were just calling to nag me again.
So I didn't even answer the phone.
That's okay.
You didn't know.
So why didn't you let me know?
Why didn't you tell me and make me a bad daughter?
If that was...
If that was the last moment, I would've hated myself so much.
How could I have...
lived if that was really the last moment?
I'm sorry.
I just thought you'd be...
so heartbroken.
Again, you're only thinking of me.
You and I keep thinking of me only.
Why do you only think of me your entire life?
Because you are my daughter.
You are my one and only child.
The weather is so nice today.
I know.
The weather is very nice.
Don't ever get sick.
I just like you.
Not because you're the one by my daughter's side.
I'm just fond of you,
and that's why I want you to never get sick and stay healthy.
I want you to be happy.
Thanks for the gifts.
That was nothing.
I wanted to experience that.
I thought it'd be my only opportunity,
so I bore the shame and did it.
I'm glad you did.
If I let go of her hand,
hold her hand right away.
I've handed over the baton to you, okay?
Okay.
I wonder if Se Gye's movie is almost done.
We should go watch it together.
Will you buy popcorn?
I'll buy the tickets and drinks too.
Then I'll gladly go with you.
Since you're offering to treat me.
We make promises, fully knowing...
that they won't be kept.
To become even sadder?
Or to lessen the sadness?
I'm not sure what the reason is,
but maybe...
it's because we earnestly want to keep the promises.
Mom, look at the camera.
Even though death feels like a distant notion,
- it's always right near us. - I'm not taking a photo.
I'm actually recording a video now.
You should've told me.
I'm not even wearing lipstick now.
You look pretty even without any lipstick.
I look prettier with it.
Sure, sure, ma'am.
- I'm zooming in. - No! Stop recording, please.
When we become conscious of its existence,
it's already standing right next to us,
and we can't escape from it.
How cute. This is so adorable.
It's out-of-this-world cute.
Of course.
I only make beautiful things.
Goodness. Sure thing, ma'am.
It's my gift for Kingkang. I want Kingkang to live with you...
for a long time without even catching a cold.
Hence, I must tell her.
I love you, Mom.
- I love you, Mom! - I love you!
I love you, Mom.
I love you so much.
I love you too.
I love you, Mom.
Time always...
flies faster than we imagine.
I'll be abroad for a little while. I'm sorry.
Have a safe trip.
Is it already time?
Why does it have to be now?
Why now?
Se Gye, don't worry too much.
Don't be sorry.
All right.
(Han Sook Hee)
Ms. Han!
Where is Se Gye?
She has a shoot now. I tried to get her out of it,
but I couldn't because it's a very important shoot.
What can I do? My daughter is a top star.
It won't take long. She'll be here very soon.
Time is passing.
Night befalls, and the sun comes up.
Then it's afternoon, and it's evening again.
Then night befalls me all over again.
Every day is excruciatingly heartrending,
and time is passing meaninglessly.
When you're sick,
I feel like it's all my fault.
I feel as if you're being punished because I've lived my life wrong.
Please... If the Almighty exists, please...
let me change back to myself as soon as possible.
Even just a day earlier.
(Uncle)
Hello?
Your voice sounds different.
I've changed into someone else again...
despite everything that's going on.
I'm sorry...
for not being there with you.
You're with me right now.
Ms. Han.
Will you call me Se Gye?
I really need to hear it right now.
Se Gye.
Please say that again.
Se Gye.
I feel kind of like myself again.
(Yu Woo Mi)
I have another call coming in.
I'll call you back.
Who...
Are you my daughter?
Mom.
My girl.
It's you.
I thought you couldn't come because you were too busy.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm...
I'm sorry.
You've been going through so much,
and I had no idea.
My...
My heart aches.
You didn't do anything wrong.
You didn't do anything wrong at all.
I thought I'd never see you get old.
I'm happy to see you like this.
It's like you're my friend.
I like it.
Mom.
Next time,
I'll...
try to...
recognize you sooner.
So...
even in your next life,
please...
live with me.
Even in your next life,
be my daughter.
I'll try to do better...
next time.
Mom, stay.
Stay until you can see me again.
See me before you leave.
Even...
with my eyes closed,
I can...
see your face.
Mom.
Mom. Open your eyes!
Mom!
Mom, open your eyes! Mom!
Mom!
- Excuse me. - Mom!
Mom! No!
Mom!
I must pronounce her death.
October 30, 2018,
11:20am,
Ms. Han Sook Hee has passed away.
Mom.
Se Gye, come here.
- Mom. - Let's go.
Let's go.
Mom.
Stay here for a moment.
I'll take care of everything.
Stay here.
I'm sorry...
I'm late.
I'm sorry.
I loved...
your food.
I'll give...
your precious daughter...
a lot of love.
Rest in peace.
What is this?
What is all this?
Where is Se Gye?
She stepped out to calm herself down.
Why couldn't I...
Why couldn't I change...
a bit faster?
So my mom could see my face before she left.
My lipstick.
There was no one in there.
I didn't see her go in.
Are they dating again?
They probably are, since he came all the way here.
Didn't they say they broke up? Are they going out again?
- I think they are. - I told you so.
You don't have to do this.
I don't want to...
make things difficult for you.
You're the one who's in the most difficult and sad situation.
Don't be foolish.
This isn't the time to think of me.
How have you been?
I've been doing well.
What will you do now? Even your mom has passed away.
- You... - After a sad incident,
all those fancy words of comfort...
didn't feel sincere at all.
I felt that way.
"Cheer up, hang in there."
Instead of those words...
"How will you live on from now on?"
My heart remembered...
the people who said that to me.
That's why I asked.
I thought...
you hated me.
You're the person my brother likes.
That's why I came.
Still...
he is my brother.
Thank you...
for coming.
I won't forget you shared your sorrow...
with me today.
You don't have to remember things like that.
I really...
didn't want to say this.
But I can't help but say it.
Hang in there.
I really mean it.
She'll pretend she's doing fine on purpose.
She might even mention her wounds first.
She might laugh and make jokes about her wounds too.
But...
none of that is real.
I used to be like that.
When it became apparent that my mom could no longer be there for me.
Take good care of your friend.
With love.
Since you'll be a servant of the Lord.
I'll go now.
I didn't come here to flirt with you.
I really came here to comfort her.
See you then.
Thanks for the coffee.
Se Gye, go get some sleep.
How can I sleep?
I can't get any sleep.
Then cry instead.
The chief mourner shouldn't cry.
If I cry,
everyone else will cry too.
Cry.
I'll be the chief mourner, so cry.
I won't cry until the end,
so you can go ahead and cry, you fool.
I'll hold back my tears.
You can both cry.
Shall we...
step out for a minute?
Do you think...
my mom knew?
Even when I had that face,
she recognized me right away.
She probably didn't know.
She didn't know,
but at that moment,
I guess it all became clear to her.
That's what happened to me.
You were standing there in tears,
and I could recognize you right away.
I thought, "You're standing there in tears now."
That's probably what happened to her too.
"Se Gye is crying."
"My daughter..."
"is crying."
My mom has a good instinct.
I thought, "What should I do without my mom?"
"I guess I'm all alone in this world now."
But I realized that I'm not alone.
I have Woo Mi,
Eun Ho,
and you.
People around you have come into my life as well.
And other people...
More people came to console me.
I'm not alone.
I know that too.
I know it very well.
But...
But still,
I miss my mom.
Why me?
Why does it have to be me?
What have I done so wrong?
What have I done so wrong...
that I couldn't...
even say my last goodbye to my mom in my own face?
- Se Gye. - And what if...
I can never change back to myself one day?
What if I get into an accident as someone else?
What if I suddenly die as someone else?
And what if no one finds out about it?
That's what scares me.
Don't you think it's funny?
My mom passed away,
yet that was the first thing I thought.
If that ever happens to you,
I will find you.
I'll find you.
And just like this,
I'll hold your hand first.
