[Final Episode]
Goodness.
You're here?
Yeah.
Goodness.
Geez.
What about Soo?
Isn't today the day of his flight?
I called him earlier, but he wouldn't pick up.
His suitcase is still at home, so I'm sure he'll be back home later.
It's an evening flight, right?
Goodness.
So, how did it go with the business that you left to take care of?
Well...
Grandpa.
Don't ever go anywhere ever again.
The house was a mess without you there!
There are tons of dishes stacked up in the sink
and the laundry is rotting in the washer, ugh!
Why, you little!
Ah, is that Oh Soo?
Yes, hello?
Oh, really?
So, you sent it to our house, correct?
Hey, did you receive any packages at home?
No.
I'll go and check right now.
Yes, yes.
All right, thank you.
Did they find the book? Did they send it to you?
Does this mean that Soo doesn't have to go to Germany? Huh?
No, I have to check it first.
I'll come with you!
It's not like it's the first time you got dumped.
But you're so embarrassed that you want to move away?
Don't do a slap-dash job, do it well!
What was it that you told me when we moved here?
You said there's no way we could find another house like this, for this price!
Damn it.
Who the hell cares about your pride? You're so annoying!
Why are you always getting so annoyed?
You said there's only one room at our new place.
I'm going to be a third year next year!
If I get stressed out, the level of the college I'll attend will change!
I'm going to stop myself before I say something I regret. Pass me the tape.
Hey.
You'd better not tell Jin Woo about this.
Sheesh.
Here.
Always keep this on your person.
It may not be able to stop bad things from happening
but it'll be of help to you when the time comes.
Maybe I can use it as toilet paper in a cinch.
I wonder if Mr. Oh Soo left yet.
There's...
an eight hour difference between here and Germany, I think.
I wonder if he's tired.
I wonder if he's okay.
I looked near the front entrance too, but I couldn't find it.
What if they sent it to the wrong address? Are you sure Oh Soo got it?
Hey, hurry up and call Oh Soo.
I've been calling him, but--
Hello?
Hi, Ms. Yoo Ri. Um...
Have you seen Oh Soo, by any chance?
No.
He didn't leave for Germany yet?
We parted ways last night.
And I didn't contact him after that.
Did something happen?
Um, no, no, no! I'll call you back later.
Did he get into an accident or something?
Where could it be?
I found it! Grandpa, I found it!
I found the book, Grandpa!
What the...
What's wrong with the tree?
Hey, Soo.
What's the matter?
- Hey, Soo! - Hey, Soo!
- Hey! - What's the matter, Soo?
- Soo! - What happened to you?
Soo! Soo!
Hey, wake up!
Wake up, punk!
Hey, Soo!
Big Sis!
Aren't you going to feed me?
Big Sis!
Come on, aren't you going to feed me?
Ugh, wow. Now you're not even going to feed me?
Fine, whatever. Just get some sleep, then.
Um...
Is it okay to just leave him like this? Shouldn't we take him to the hospital?
This isn't something that can be resolved by taking him to the hospital.
What's going to happen to Soo, then? What if he never wakes up?
The tree is coming back to life...
so let's just wait and see.
According to this, Grandma consumed the pollen, too.
Did you know about that, Grandpa?
I thought that she died of an illness.
I had no idea that it was because of that.
Goodness.
But, Grandpa.
About Dad...
Why didn't Dad do as the book said?
If he had, he could still be alive today.
I'm assuming that your father was thinking
that one may not know what awaits them at the end of an unexplored path
but I'm sure he wanted to leave Soo the knowledge.
Oh, call Yoo Ri later.
So that she doesn't worry.
All right.
Oh, Ga Nah!
Hey, is Oh Soo inside?
Why won't he answer my calls?
Just come inside.
He can't go to Germany because of a woman?
Yeah.
You just said that he couldn't go because he was sick, though!
Well...
Well, it's tricky to explain, but at any rate, he can't go right now.
So take care of it for him, will you?
Hey, come over here.
I want to see him myself
and decide whether or not I need to take care of things, so let's go.
If he could see you, he would!
Just wait, wait! Sheesh.
Have some coffee before you go.
I'll wait, since I'm a mess right now
but Oh Soo isn't the type to get sick over a woman.
Come on, come up with something realistic!
Love? Love is completely weak!
Be sure to tell him that, okay?
I'm going to tell you something...
so listen to me, and do something about those dark circles.
Why are you mentioning my dark circles? Are you going to recommend a doctor?
It's the tale of a tree that was born because of love.
A tree?
A long, long time ago...
there was a couple who were willing to lay down their lives for one another.
They were so poor that they had a hard time just getting food to eat
but they were happy enough just having each other.
But then, the wife...
got sick.
The husband was frozen in fear that he would lose his wife.
Then he found out that the son of the judge in that town
was looking for a substitute punishment receiver.
What... what is that?
Someone who gets hit instead of the criminal, and gets paid for it.
Oh.
Anyway, that man was taken in instead of that judge's son.
But unluckily for him...
he ended up getting framed for someone else's crime, too
so he got the death sentence.
And then?
The wife, who found out later, went to the judge's son
and begged him to save her husband.
But...
the judge...
just played dumb, so that his son wouldn't have his career ruined.
And that woman...
had no choice but to watch as her husband was dismembered and killed.
So, what happened to the wife?
Did she get better?
She went to the judge, and cursed him.
And she killed herself on the spot.
Well, I guess she followed her husband to the afterlife.
And...
suddenly, a tree appeared where that woman had died.
Ever since then, the judge and all of his descendants were cursed
and they have no choice
but to protect that tree and watch as the one they love dies.
All right, so what does that story have to do with my dark circles?
Is love really the most useless thing in this world?
Is love truly weak?
Because the true beginning of that story
lies with this family...
that has been cursed with watching their loved ones die...
for the past 500 years.
Huh?
Oh Soo! Oh Soo!
Oh Soo.
Oh Soo!
[Oh Soo]
Where are you going to go?
Stop trying to think of ways to be honest without hurting her.
End it like a wimp, or be honest and break up with her.
It it's the same outcome
it's better to choose the one that will leave you with no regrets.
Easy for you to say, since this doesn't concern you!
That's right.
Everyone else thinks you're ridiculous for even being so worried.
I'm off.
Why, that little...
Why is it that everything he says is right?
Wow, what a nice day.
You were upset after storming off like that, right?
Not at all.
I dumped you, so why would I feel bad?
When I was nine years old...
I took my younger brother to the park on a day that was as nice as this one.
And, on that day...
I abandoned my younger brother and ran away.
My younger brother has autism.
And our family was really poor back then, so things were quite tough for us.
I thought that my entire family was so unhappy because of him.
So, back then, I really hated him.
So, I sat him down on a bench...
and I hid, and watched him.
Saying to myself, "I'll leave once he disappears."
I was the one who abandoned him, but I was trying to put the blame on him.
But then...
that punk didn't move from that spot, even as night fell.
What happened?
And then...
I peed my pants while watching my brother.
Plus, it was getting dark and chilly.
So I took his hand and went back home.
He peed himself, and so did I.
Man, my mom hit me so much that day.
Cherry.
I'm not going to let go of my brother's hand anymore.
I'm not alone. It's me and my brother. That's why.
I'm sorry.
Hey.
I'm the one who dumped you.
I'm the one who was in the wrong, so you can sleep peacefully at night.
Geez, look at you, making such a fuss.
I never told you to abandon your brother!
And this is the first time you ever brought him up.
I mean, I thought that it'd be better for you to know the reason--
Stop acting all high and mighty.
Thanks for telling me...
about your younger brother.
And you're asking me if I'll be able to handle that, too.
I'll think about it.
It's not that I don't want to.
It's just that, your world is so different from the one that I lived in.
That's all.
Let's do that. Yeah.
Get up.
It's a nice day, so let's walk a bit.
Sure, I'd love to.
Seeing as how I haven't heard from him...
I'm sure he got there safely.
[Oh Ga Nah]
Yes?
Hello, Ms. Yoo Ri. Have you been doing well?
What about Mr. Oh Soo?
Nothing happened to him, right?
Oh, of course not.
Soo went to Germany.
Oh, so he went?
Yes, he called me not long ago telling me that he landed safely.
I see.
He's good at taking care of himself
so don't worry about him too much.
I'm not worried.
It's good that he got there safely.
Goodbye.
All right.
You're here!
[Three Years Later]
Big Sis!
Let's go together.
I should be coming with you today.
Should I cut class today?
Stop messing around!
It's not a big enough deal that you should miss school.
Why not?
You're getting a promotion not even a year after your special promotion.
I brag about you so much to my friends.
Oh, thank you, Miss Little Sister!
Hey, buy me something delicious today.
All right. What do you want to eat?
Me? Meat.
Or fish, at the very least.
Goodness.
Oh man, I can't believe I suddenly fell asleep like that.
Suddenly? As if! You've been there since last night!
Wow, I can't believe him.
How did he manage to write such a long, boring thing?
This is a talent in and of itself. Geez.
Is it okay for you to be so lackadaisical when you're leaving next month?
Should I write this so that it helps patients who have insomnia?
I really do feel like it'll be effective.
This is the last time that I'm investing in you. Be aware of that.
What are you saying?
How am I supposed to publish anything if you don't invest in me?
Geez, why are you trying to do work that doesn't even suit you?
Wow!
Have you forgotten? I was a Korean Literature major!
I'm trying to use my degree, here!
Geez, when will you finally come to your senses?
Grandpa.
You know that cafe?
Can't you give it to me instead of just letting it rot like that?
What are you going to do with it?
I'll make it into a book cafe
and give out our books to the people drinking coffee there.
No!
Don't you dare do anything to the cafe!
Why not? Do you know how much that land is worth?
It's not even like you're running a business there anymore!
Why not? Why? Why--
Just work on this instead.
Geez, you're so weird!
You and I don't get along at all!
Like, to the point that you give me goosebumps! Ugh!
Yoo Ri.
Oh, you came?
Wow, you look so cool, Seo Yoo Ri!
Well, duh.
Let's go. This way.
Since bouquets of flowers aren't really your thing...
I got you this instead.
What's this?
Running shoes.
I saw last time that your soles were completely worn out.
Wow, this is awesome!
As to be expected of Kim Jin Woo, who always does awesome things for me!
I know, right?
I think I was born with it. I've been like this since I was born.
Let's go home first. I want to change.
All right.
Oh, Ji Hoon!
Are you tired? Want me to put you on my shoulders?
Mister is tired because he's old, Ji Hoon.
Let's just walk.
Hey, why are you making me look bad?
I'll put you on my shoulders!
- Let's go! - Whoo!
- Pew, pew, pew! - Wow!
Let's go!
Hey.
I said we should go somewhere nice, and yet you wanted to come here?
I was really craving pike eel!
Yum!
Stop glaring at me and eat, already!
Ugh, here.
Sheesh. Well?
It's good, right?
I bet you'll be craving this again tomorrow.
Yum!
What? Why are you laughing?
I mean, it's funny.
A police officer got a special promotion and here she is now, day drinking.
What about you, then?
You're a teacher, yet you took the day off and are day drinking with a cop.
Hey, hey!
I got off work early because I'm not teaching any afternoon classes!
Don't twist the situation.
Oh, geez.
Hm.
Cheers.
Ugh, just sit still!
Why are you moving around so much?
What?
Can you see me?
You were the one who wanted to meet, yet you've been like that for an hour
so I thought you couldn't see me.
You said that you haven't read that author's book yet.
Just read that.
How can I focus on that, when you're right here?
Hey, if a man and a woman come to Han River Park
shouldn't they do at least one of those two things?
What two things?
First, link arms and walk around aimlessly.
Second, use the glorious Han River as the background, and...
Let's head out and walk a bit.
Hey, stop! One second.
You're going to walk around in those?
Oh yeah.
My sneakers are in the trunk. Get them for me.
What the--
What is this? Huh?
Hey, these are all from our publishing company!
This is...
exactly what I think this is, isn't it?
It's not because I pity you. Don't get it twisted.
I only bought all these since the book was good.
What are you talking about?
I don't want your pride to get hurt.
Why would you bring that up right now?
Hey.
No matter how you look at it, this is...
clearly a proposal.
What?
Oh my gosh! Oh goodness, what do I do?
Oh my goodness! Sheesh!
Well, okay.
I guess I'll marry you.
What are you saying?
I told you that I bought them just because the book was good!
- Where's my ring? - Stop overreacting.
You didn't get me one?
Wow, you have no sense for these things!
Gosh, you're so dense.
Well, I guess that I'll be the one...
to give the ring.
What is this?
What else?
Ta-da.
Please marry me! Please marry me!
Stop it.
Hey, stop it.
- I'll only stop if you say yes! - Stop it, already!
- Please marry me! - Wait, wait, stop!
Geez, seriously!
You're marrying me, okay?
Thanks.
Ow!
- Please marry me! - Hey!
- Please marry me! - Just get me my sneakers!
Sheesh!
You should stop it now.
Stop what?
Stop worrying about me.
Why are you dragging down your own life because of me?
You need to come to your senses
for me to be able to go on my way with a light heart.
Do you think you could play dumb if the person you liked was living like this?
What are you saying?
I got a special promotion today!
How could I possibly be living a better life than this?
You know that better than I do.
Forget about that man, already.
What's this, now?
You never once brought him up before.
Well, I didn't know you'd be suffering for so long.
Is Soo Jung still reporting to you about me?
That wench!
I'm surrounded by enemies everywhere.
Sergeant Kim is always causing trouble for me
and Ms. Mi Sook and Hae Sook call me out every night
telling me to buy them coffee from the vending machine.
And now, you too!
So crawl out of that well, already.
Everyone is at the top, extending their hands to you so you can get out.
[CEO Nam]
- Yeah? - You're back in Korea?
Yeah.
Why didn't you tell me? Where are you now?
- The cafe. - Oh, geez.
So you did end up going there, after all.
All right, I'll head to the cafe.
In a bit.
I have a prior engagement.
A prior engagement?
You don't know anyone in Korea, though.
That woman.
I want to meet with her.
I'll call you later.
We came here for round one
so it'll be kind of hard to go somewhere for round two.
Next time. I have somewhere to go.
- Where? - Huh?
Oh, it's fine. I'll pay, okay?
- How much is it? - 30,000 won.
Oh.
Oh, here you go.
What's this?
Oh, a Shamaness gave it to me.
She said that it'll be useful to me when the time comes, so I carry it with me.
But it keeps getting mixed up with my money, so it gets annoying.
- Thank you for the food! - Goodbye.
Goodbye.
What time do you need to be in court?
Only the attorney needs to go today.
How is it that it took over a year for a divorce to be finalized?
When you get divorced later, be sure to get a settlement.
Ugh, it's been so annoying.
Hey, is that something you should be saying to an unmarried bachelor?
Well, it's just good to know, don't you think?
Ji Hoon!
We... weren't dating?
I remember telling you that we weren't dating
when we last spoke to one another on the phone.
It just struck me as odd
that there was an article about us if we weren't dating.
And I thought I might remember something if I met you in person.
So, how do you feel now that you've met me in person?
Well, I'm not sure.
Thank you for your time today.
Excuse me.
Because of you...
my pride was damaged a bit, back then.
What?
But thanks to you, I made a lot of money...
and I'm thankful to you for several reasons.
Look for a woman named Seo Yoo Ri.
Seo Yoo Ri?
[Seo Yoo Ri]
Hey.
What are you doing here, when you should be busy with your new project, huh?
I came here before I started getting too busy.
And I'll be going back tomorrow.
Oh, geez. Did you meet with Director Han?
Yeah.
I told you, there was nothing going on between you two. Why did you ignore me?
Because nobody, not you, Grandpa, or Oh Ga Nah is telling me the truth.
At any rate, I told you everything I know.
Also, you looked through
all of your elementary, middle, and high school yearbooks
so what else could you possibly be curious about?
Just think of it from my point of view.
I lost 28 years of memories.
Wouldn't you be curious?
Well, I guess.
Hey, it's not like you had 28 years of good memories.
All of your bad memories disappeared, too.
If it were me, I'd be thankful for that clean sweep.
Ugh.
Oh, my back! Ugh!
Ji Seok.
Yeah?
Do you...
know someone named Seo Yoo Ri, by any chance?
Seo Yoo Ri?
No.
Come here.
- Me? - Come here.
What is it, you punk?
- Tell me the truth. - Yeah?
We weren't that close, were we?
Why, you little...
Hey, I was so good to you!
Then, how come you don't know anything about me?
Well, how would I know when you didn't tell me?
Five years ago, when my mother passed away
and you came to see and said
"Hey, to tell you the truth, my mother passed away, too."
You comforted me...
Oh, of course you don't remember.
But at that point, we had known each other for 11 years.
You were the one who only opened up
about his family after 11 years.
Did I... really do that?
Yeah, you punk!
Hey, but how is it that it's been so long since this place shut down
and yet it's so clean?
I know, right?
Hm, I wonder if someone comes by from time to time.
Did you call your family yet?
No, I'll drop by later.
Let's go. Let's go.
Come on, let's go.
I didn't even call them yet.
The first thing you should've done when you got home is call your family!
There was something I needed to check on.
Check? Check on what? Check on what, huh?
Huh? Hurry up and get in!
After meeting you...
you are now with me...
in every moment of my life.
And that's why I'm happy.
I love you.
I treasure you more than I treasure myself.
So, Yoo Ri...
live a good life...
even though I won't be by your side.
Grandpa.
Um...
I stepped outside for a bit, and stopped by.
Um, the door was open, so...
I'll be going now, Grandpa.
Please, take care of what you need to do.
Um, Yoo Ri.
Um...
I'll leave the cafe empty...
so come here whenever you want to.
And if anything is ever troubling you
come and rest here for a bit.
Okay?
Okay, Grandpa.
That's all I can do for you.
I'm sorry.
I won't come here anymore.
Today is the last day.
I mean it this time.
This is really the last time I'm going to be here.
I'm going to forget all about you, too
and live a super nice life!
Hey, but how is it
that it's been so long since this place shut down
and yet this place is so clean?
I wonder if someone comes by.
Excuse me!
Hey!
What are you doing here?
Why did you take so long to come back?
Do you know how long I waited for you?
Um, excuse me... um...
You evil jerk!
Was it that difficult for you to show up, even in my dreams?
Ow, ow, ow!
Wait, hey!
I was steeping in regret for the past three years
and now you finally decide to show up.
Hmph, you idiot!
You said it would resolve everything if we broke up!
That...
just made me miss you more.
It just made me love you more.
Why aren't I dying, huh?
Why am I completely fine, huh?
That must mean that you have completely forgotten about me.
That must mean that you don't love me.
You forgot about me so easily...
Stop doing stuff like that, you evil jerk!
I'm sorry.
Did I have such a small impact on your life
that you were able to forget me so easily?
Wasn't I just like a ball of charisma?
Huh?
Wasn't I?
Don't smile!
Don't smile, you evil jerk!
Drink this.
What did you put in here?
I'm not drinking this!
Don't go.
Big Bro.
Big Bro!
What?
Um, have you been to the cafe lately?
Ugh, Grandpa won't even let me go anywhere near it.
You have a girlfriend, right?
Why?
Well, I saw some woman who was drunk sleeping there.
Isn't she your girlfriend?
Huh? What are you talking about?
Then...
Look for a woman named Seo Yoo Ri.
Never mind. Here.
Did he see Officer Seo?
There's nothing that can be done now.
We did everything to sever the ties between them.
Yet, they've met again.
So what can us mere mortals do about it?
I...
really can't come back here anymore.
Look for a woman named Seo Yoo Ri.
Ta-da!
I'm at the same rank now that you were, Dad.
Your daughter is so awesome, isn't she?
It would've been so nice if you were still alive, right?
You could've seen this historical moment in person.
I really...
wish I could've seen you today.
Oh, geez. Here I go again.
I love you...
with all my heart...
and when you take each step...
I feel...
You were having a hard time, weren't you?
Lean on me.
I will...
like you...
Ms. Seo Yoo Ri.
Thank you...
for letting me into your life, Ms. Seo Yoo Ri.
Encore!
Did I let my emotions affect me too much?
I only have 3,000 won left now.
Huh?
Oh, whatever.
Goodbye.
Huh?
Excuse me!
Wait.
What? What is it?
Would you like to have a cup of coffee together?
Cut!
Oh, I don't know! I'm done for.
- Oh, come on! - Um...
that's where the camera is, over there.
- You're in the way. - Oh!
Ow! Ow!
- Doctor! - Doctor!
Hey, let go.
Hey, let's take you to get an x-ray.
- Cut. - Oh, geez!
He laughed!
How did you fall down a flight of stairs?
What is he doing?
You perverted wench!
Get away from each other.
- Cut! - Gosh, you surprised me!
Put down what you're eating. Yeah.
Um...
- Wait! - Yeah?
Wow.
Wow!
Ugh!
Do I really need to tell you this for you to know?
Seriously!
Oh man, what do I do?
Oh man, I'm so sorry!
What?
What is it?
