(Episode 3)
Let me ask you one more time.
Do you want to live or die?
I want to live.
Then take another MRI scan tomorrow.
Brain tumors grow fast.
Let's check it one more time.
Also, let me see.
Intra-axial glioma,
increase of necrosis,
contrast enhancement, hemorrhage...
Gosh, we already wasted a week.
I heard that you focus more on research than treatment.
I'm listening.
1 in 2 of your patients gets close to dying.
If I spend the amount of time it takes for saving one patient...
on research, I can save thousands of patients.
I'm sorry.
Come tomorrow morning.
I can't tomorrow.
I can the day after.
Do you know how long you have to wait for an MRI scan?
I made an appointment with the thought of...
forcing you to take it.
Then I'll wait for my turn.
I'll go tomorrow.
Okay.
Instead of coming alone tomorrow, come with a guardian.
Please come with me.
Hi.
Paul, when did you come to Seoul?
It's been so long.
Alfred? Do you remember me?
Connie, how could I forget?
You look so fantastic.
It's good to see you.
Let's have dinner sometime.
You still have no manners.
Thank you.
Shouldn't you start talking if you asked to meet me?
Thanks for your kindness,
but I decided not to take the work for JQ.
Fine.
I'm sorry. You were being considerate...
I didn't hire you...
to be considerate of you.
- Either way. - Do what you want.
I'll tell the Seoul branch manager to cancel it.
Wait.
Don't be mistaken.
I saw the blueprint sent to our New York office.
"Kim Do Young"? Look who it is.
Is it someone I liked in the past?
Just looking at your name made me full of tears.
I said, "This man is a genius. Hire him for the design."
Fine.
Let me hear your reason.
What's so difficult?
Did you tell Hyun Joo about me?
"Shin Da Hye was at the press conference."
Afraid that you'd hurt her feelings, you decided to quit the job?
- What I want to know is... - Forget it.
Let's stop it.
I don't want to get involved...
like this either.
But aren't you being too harsh?
We haven't seen each other for over 10 years.
We were close.
Shouldn't you at least ask how I have been...
before trying to get back your sense of pride?
You're close to going bankrupt.
It's not as bad as you think.
If I desperately needed money,
I would've taken the job.
My goodness.
I can't believe that someone I liked so much...
was this bad.
What about the greenhouse where you planted strawberries?
I sold off that land.
There's a new shopping center now.
Thanks to that, the land price skyrocketed.
That's great.
With that money and Do Young's money from the job,
move to Seoul.
Come on, Father.
Do Young is working on a huge building.
He'll earn a lot of money.
Really?
Father.
Move in and live with us.
Your lower back is weak too.
If you don't want to move in,
at least come for the meals.
Stop nagging me and go.
Did you come to talk about something?
Did the doctor say something?
No.
After I let your mother go,
I gave up everything else in the world except for you.
All I wish for is your health. That's all I need.
I don't want to get a surgery.
I want to quit the treatment.
You and I should die together.
We have to think about Hyun Joo.
Do you live here?
Yes.
How can I get to the big mall?
Keep going. Keep going.
This way?
Yes.
Thank you.
Bye.
- Saet Byul. - Mom.
Guess what? I was asked out on a date.
Really?
You must be happy.
The guy I like second best asked me...
to go get hamburgers for dinner.
I won't have to cook dinner thanks to you.
What about Dad?
He's working overtime.
Then, who do you like the most?
Heo Half.
What kind of name is that?
He got the nickname because he has such a thin waist...
that he could be broken in half.
He won't do.
But he's so handsome.
Who was that earlier?
Did she ask you for directions?
She looks Korean,
but I guess she only speaks English.
Did you understand everything?
The woman asked me, "How can I get to the big mall?",
so I told her, "Keep going, keep going."
By the way, she was so pretty.
She was like a model or an actress.
- More than me? - Yes, more than you.
Have your carrot juice.
No. I heard my face will get yellow.
You have to have it!
Saet Byul!
- Have some more soda. - Thank you.
Guys.
Consider yourselves lucky.
Korea? No.
East Asia? No?
Kim Do Young is an international construction designer.
We will make history...
Are you here, sir?
- Hello. - Hello.
I gathered some of my juniors.
These guys snatched all kinds of awards...
while they were in school.
I'm calling off the project.
What?
Keep eating. Go ahead. It's okay, take your time.
I'm sorry, but could you explain what's going on?
- Tell them to leave. - Sir,
we're ready to produce the best design...
I said, send them away!
Okay. I understand.
Right.
JQ's Mr. Park called and asked you...
to review the contract again once you come in. It's on your desk.
Okay. I'll send them away.
If the hired does not finish the design,
or suspend the project,
the hired must pay a penalty of one million dollars.
If the final design...
does not get approved by the New York head office,
all of the expenses used by the hired...
will not be compensated.
What is it?
What is it that you want from me?
Why did Saet Byul come home late again?
She was asked on a date by the boy she likes second best.
Dad, you should eat dinner with us every day.
I did.
I'm just a bit peckish.
I was craving noodles.
That was good.
Do you want some coffee?
It's almost time for bed.
You don't have to worry.
That's why you came, right?
I'm not worried.
But...
I won't be like Mom.
I won't end my life like that.
I was the stubborn one.
She didn't want to do it,
but I begged her to get the surgery.
Hyun Joo.
Medicine has developed a lot.
If by chance...
The doctor told me I'm fine.
Why are you talking nonsense?
Then, promise me.
I have to go to the hospital tomorrow. Will you come with me?
What? Why are you going again?
The doctor said you're fine.
Because you don't trust me.
Thank you for the food.
You should eat while you drink.
If you only do shots, it'll hurt your heart and your stomach.
Give me a shot too.
I asked Samoo Architects to give you a position.
You should go there.
I said, eat some food while you drink.
What did you tell me?
You told me not to drink out of anger.
Am I your teacher or your senior?
Do you even know how old I am?
- You? - By next year,
I'll be 36.
Already?
Yet, you're still working under me?
Why?
Because you're a genius.
I want to become like you.
Me?
If I ever make enough money from building houses,
I would be a son of a gun.
Do Young. Sir.
JQ is a global investment company.
They wouldn't put a trap in the contract.
You don't have to worry about it.
- About what? - It says we have to pay...
a million-dollar penalty for failing to design. That's ridiculous.
We'll just make the design.
When they say they won't pay for our expenses...
if the design doesn't pass with the head office,
- they're just encouraging us. - You punk.
Did you look at the contract without my permission?
It was right in front of me, so I skimmed it.
- But anyone with common sense... - No way.
Common sense doesn't work in this world anymore.
Do Young.
I'll be really serious.
Go ahead.
Put your pride aside.
If you don't,
the genius that is Kim Do Young...
will turn into nothing.
I know that.
I'm nothing. I'm useless.
Will you please eat too?
Darn it.
Don't drink on an empty stomach.
You stuff your face.
Sir, you're home.
Sir.
Sir!
I'm no sir.
Is this it?
Leave the car key.
Even if it's not your place, don't drive away.
[VIU Ver] MBC E03 Hold Me Tight "I Don’t Want to Die Like Mom" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Why take them off? Keep them on.
It's my wedding anniversary present.
Who wears earrings to bed?
A ring maybe.
A ring?
Your ring.
Here it is.
Aren't I a good boy?
You can't spend before you get paid.
Give me your hand.
It's pretty.
You have lost your mind.
What if something goes wrong and you don't get paid?
That's cubic zirconia.
What?
When I get the down payment, I'll buy you a diamond ring.
I was so surprised.
It looks just like a diamond.
Hyun Joo.
What?
When you gave me your previous wedding ring...
Do you remember what you said?
Do you remember?
You said...
if selling the ring isn't enough,
you'd sell your liver, heart,
or eyes, anything you'd have to.
You told me...
not to grovel and to stay proud.
You said you didn't want to see me go to prison...
for building cheap houses or buildings.
Hyun Joo.
Look at me.
I swear.
Even if the sky falls, I, Kim Do Young,
will protect Nam Hyun Joo.
You must keep that promise.
Saet Byul, wake Dad once more before you leave for school.
I don't want to. He stinks of soju.
Honey.
If you don't get up, I'll pour cold water on you.
I'm staying home today.
Hee Joon called last night.
He asked me to send you over with sandwiches.
How did I get home?
You'd have frozen to death in the car if I hadn't gone outside.
You should've turned the heater on.
How many will there be?
I told you I'm staying home.
I won't take the job.
What's wrong with you?
Da Hye doesn't bother me.
I can't accept that.
Shall I divorce you?
What?
You can't take the job because you're bothered about me.
- Why are you twisting it? - I'm twisting it?
Is it wrong to love my wife?
What's so funny?
You're so cute.
But you failed.
You said you'd protect me even if the sky falls and breaks.
Into three pieces.
Why three pieces?
You, Saet Byul, your dad.
I have three people to protect.
We should let it go.
Let's forget all about Da Hye.
- Honey. - You're so immature.
If you don't take this job, you'll become a real failure.
How will you protect us then?
I'll build just any house for a price.
The rich will pay anything for one of my designs.
To join the upper class,
living in a house designed by Kim Do Young...
Why must you hurt my pride too?
I don't want to live like a beggar, strapped for cash.
Am I a superhero?
Do you think I'll live with you forever,
saying it's okay?
- Nam Hyun Joo. - Listen.
You didn't marry me because you loved me more than you did Da Hye.
Everyone knows that. Even I do.
I married you knowing that.
You felt sorry for me.
That's why...
Do your very best to build the best building ever.
Make a great comeback.
We'll argue about this then.
Da Hye...
or me.
Pick one or the other.
You really...
What? Do you think I'm vulgar?
Did I say that?
Take the sandwiches and go to work.
Don't look back and finish this project.
I'll grant you freedom until then.
Da Hye...
You can meet her over work...
or if you just want to.
(From Nam Hyun Joo)
Drive safely.
Don't get into an accident by zoning out.
Good luck.
Do as your wife says.
Consider the great meaning behind the sandwiches,
and forge ahead.
Show the world that Kim Do Young's not dead...
Call her.
Connie Shin, not your wife.
She called again.
Asking me to talk to you.
Just give in.
Okay?
- This... - Did you call Taebaek?
- No. - Call them soon.
- Don't talk with your mouth full. - Sorry.
- I'll call the restaurant first. - Okay.
(Tea Making Room)
Is that it?
It's Dr. Jang's patient.
He said to scan her thoroughly from head to toe.
Wait.
Do you have claustrophobia or panic disorder?
A little.
Do you want to do it another time?
It's okay.
Did everything go well?
Yes.
Am I done for the day?
Dr. Jang told you to bring you back. He wants to have lunch with you.
You have a few more tests in the afternoon.
Have a seat.
I'll clean up, so go have lunch.
Since you're here, let's get it over with today.
Come on, Do Young.
Ma'am, it's only 10 dollars.
- You're here. - Hello.
Look, it's here.
It's still here, Do Young.
Come on.
Can I have more soup, sir?
Thank you, sir.
Do you know how much I craved it?
I've had the best dishes in the world,
but I still couldn't forget this taste.
As soon as...
this hot anchovy broth goes down my throat,
I can sense the savory flavor.
Am I exaggerating too much?
You haven't changed.
I can't tell what you're thinking.
I used to love...
this look on your face.
What do you want from me?
Think carefully.
You know...
the answer to that question.
This is the first place in my memory.
I fell in love with a man who understands life.
Let's go to my second place.
Sir, how much is it?
It's okay. You came back after a long time.
Whose car is this?
Come out now!
- Darn it. - Sir.
Is this car yours?
You drive such a nice car.
You should be just as wise.
How could you leave your car in this narrow street?
You should have parked it somewhere else.
Gosh, my life is already tough as is.
Be more conscientious.
I've been looking for you for 30 minutes.
I'm sorry, sir.
I'll compensate for your time.
What?
How will you compensate me?
My goodness.
I don't have money.
I only have credit cards.
Who do you think you are?
What? Credit cards?
Darn it.
Aren't you being too harsh?
Who are you?
She only blocked the street.
Let me go now.
Do Young, calm down. I'll take care of it.
Look at this woman!
- Gosh. - My goodness.
Medicine is advancing at the speed of light.
Cancers led to death only in the past.
Maybe after 10 years,
human lifespan may increase to 120 years.
If you...
survive until then, you can live 60 to 70 more years.
This is an email sent by cancer specialists around the world.
They responded to my email about a new treatment of brain tumor.
However, my theory was already outdated.
There's new medical technology much more advanced than mine.
Take a look.
It was sent by my colleague from Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Go throw up.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't keep it in.
Do you throw up often?
Recently.
It could be indigestion.
I know as much as you do.
I might even know more than you do.
Here you go again.
This is what I think sometimes.
Doctors may know a lot more about diseases than me,
but how much do they know about their patients' pain?
I'm sorry.
I think about that too.
I shouldn't show off in front of my patients.
You're modest.
However, your tumor hasn't grown that much.
When I was in middle school,
my mom died with the same cancer.
From start to finish, I watched every detail of it.
It's not the same anymore. That was several decades ago.
Do you want to know why I'm refusing treatment?
I don't want to die like Mom.
However longer I live,
I want to live like a human being.
How old are you?
That's a thought of an adolescent girl.
So what?
Like destiny,
when I reach my mom's age,
I'll have the same cancer as Mom...
I won't stand this anymore.
Stay seated for a while.
