I hated everyone around me before.
I just couldn't stand them, but...
I hated myself the most.
A family...
It's strange, isn't it?
You think you want to leave them, but you don't really want to either.
You're almost like you're a member of our family.
Is it okay if we think so?
Join your family...
Will the wedding be in Korea?
Spring is finally coming to our family, isn't it?
[Guarantor Agreement Form]
Whenever it snows, I'll remember you, Naoko.
Always... and forever.
He quit about a week ago.
He did mention going back to Jeju Island.
[Jeju International Airport]
I'm looking for Lee Ji Won.
Is he there by chance?
Remember the cutlassfish soup he cooked for us?
A famous dish from his hometown.
If you want cutlassfish soup, you better go to Seogwipo.
It's famous for the cutlassfish.

[Final Episode]
Hey, you're back! (In Korean)
Yeah.
[Pick and Choose]
I'll be right there.
Sure.
Excuse me? (In Korean)
Do you know this man?
I don't.
Thank you.
- I don't know him. - Okay.
Excuse me?
Thank you very much.
Excuse me?
Are there any restaurants that serve cutlassfish soup?
You'll find some near the fishing port.
- Thank you very much. - Sure.
[Seogwipo Rest Area]
[Fishing and Skate Fish Specialty Shop]
[Chang Hoon's Place]
- Excuse me? - Yes?
Do you know this man?
No, I don't.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for waiting. (In Japanese)
Sit down.
And have some soup.
It'll warm you up.
We're going out for a while.
Oh, I see.
Hey, honey!
Will you watch the store?
Okay.
That's my friend and his wife's restaurant.
I'm just helping them when they're busy.
Their cutlassfish soup was really delicious.
It tastes just like the one you made at my house.
I'm sorry for leaving without a word.
I was really shocked.
I wanted to hear the reason.
Are you in some kind of trouble?
You can tell me anything.
Did I get it all wrong?
I thought we understood each other.
Was I just getting ahead of myself?
That may be true.
But...
Even if that is true...
I'm in love with you.
I want to be with you.
No matter what happens.
I want to laugh with you in good times.
I want to cry with you in bad times.
That's how I want to spend everyday...
Naoko!
That's too much.
That's too much of a burden for me.
[Seogwipo Welfare Hospital]
Someone! (In Korean)
I need someone!
Fire!
Put out the fire!
Mom!
It's all right! Calm down!
It's all right!
Everything is all right!
My mother doesn't even recognize who I am now.
[Lee Chae Yeon, Choi Eun Mi, Nurse-in-charge]
With early onset dementia...
the symptoms and progression vary between patients.
You didn't live with your mother after leaving the foster care facility?
That's right.
I don't think she wanted me to either.
When my father died in the line of duty...
time stopped for my mother.
Honey!
Open your eyes!
Why are you here?
Let's go home!
Honey?
What's going to happen to me and Ji Won?
Honey!
Please wake up! Honey... please open your eyes!
Mom...
Mom?
Mom? Mom?
I drew Dad. Do you want to see?
Mom? Mom?
No.
Actually...
It was me.
I was the one who avoided her.
Looking after her is not going to be an easy task.
I know, but I've already made up mind.
Hey, you're back.
Yeah.
How did it go?
All the paperwork is done.
I see.
What happened to Naoko?
I don't think she'll come here anymore.
Are you sure that's what you want?
I don't want Naoko to suffer.
[To Ji Won]
Who's there? (In Korean)
Do you know where I went for so long?
Mom, I'm scared!
Mom, this is scary!
What do you think you're doing?
You can't do this!
I need to take my son!
We're going to meet my husband!
Let me go!
[The Land of the Sun Foster Care Facility]
Mom...
Mom?
Mom...
I've been stuck in that cold winter sea.
Let's go!
Ji Won and I grew up together, like brothers.
Brothers.
But he always looked lonely.
Over and over...
I had the same dream.
It was always freezing.
And scary.
I woke up shivering each time.
I didn't understand it when I was six.
The reason you tried to take me into the freezing sea...
Because I was a bad kid?
Because I tormented you?
If that's the case...
is it okay for me to still be alive?
I kept asking myself that.
There's no way of knowing when a family can break apart.
You never know when they'll hurt you.
The thought of that was so scary.
But...
I met someone in Japan.
But... he has changed.
Since he met you.
She was always trying her best.
She kept running around for someone else.
And she encouraged me with her whole heart.
She never gave up, no matter what.
She tied her family together with her firm commitment.
As I spent time with her and her family...
I stopped having that nightmare.
And for the first time, I thought...
I don't want to run away anymore.
I want to start a family with you again.
If I could do that...
I might be able to live my life again.
Do you know why Ji Won left without a word?
He said that...
he didn't want you to suffer.
It made me realize how precious you are to him.
I'm precious to him...
Will you stop for a minute?
You must be cold.
Put this on.
Children's hands get chapped easily, you know.
Is it okay if I take this?
Mom...
I didn't know anything about you, did I?
It was right here.
This is where my mom took me into the sea.
It was snowing at the time.
Since then, I thought that I had no family.
But... that wasn't true.
It had gotten out of my sight, that's all.
Out of your sight?
Yeah, just like your family.
After I met your family, I realized what I must do.
I want to start the flow of time again.
Right here, by myself.
No, I have my mom.
The two of us.
It will be all right.
My mom will get out of the hospital soon.
When we get home...
she'll make the... cutlassfish I like for me.
Thank you for everything.
The first snow...
Whenever the first snow falls...
We'll be together.
Promise?
I promise.
I couldn't even breathe when he wrapped his arms around me.
At that moment, I realized.
I envy you.
What a nice family.
You've changed me, Naoko.
Thank you for everything.
The thoughtfulness of this man.
The hardships of the life he has chosen.
And its fullness.
And that's why we...
We must part ways here.
This will do!
Perfect!
But isn't it great to welcome someone into the family?
I guess so.
It's much better than losing someone.
- Ouch, it hurts! - What's wrong?
- Hey, are you okay? - Mom!
Call an ambulance!
Hey, Mom!
Can you hear me, Mom?
Hello?
It all happened in a flash.
It was a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and she never regained consciousness.
The tomesode she was preparing for my wedding became her burial clothes.
I wonder if she had symptoms of the illness before.
She took it all on herself.
And just put up with it.
No matter what happened...
She laughed until the end.
Mom...
I'm glad.
What?
She didn't find out about what happened to you.
I'm glad.
She passed away feeling happy.
Just the way she was.
Yeah.
You never speak up.
You never speak up about the important things.
I thought that we still had plenty of time.
Plenty of time to talk.
Plenty of time to grow old together.
Plenty of time to...
Plenty...
Good morning, Mom!
Can I help you?
Oh, could you bring the side dishes?
Which ones can I bring?
- This? - This and this, yeah.
And some omelets.
Dad, are the lunch boxes ready?
Almost.
Got to bring some tea.
They look brown, don't they?
- Hot water is in the pot already. - Oh! It spilled.
How about "succeed"?
- To have the desired result. - Right.
"Accomplish."
- Let me see... To bring to its goal. - Yeah.
How about "fulfill"?
- To bring to an end? - Wow, that's impressive.
- Okay, please go ahead. - Watch your step, please.
- Thank you. - Thank you for your cooperation.
Watch your step, please.
Please go ahead.
Mr. Inaba, how is it over there?
Welcome to our store.
I wanted you to help me choose again.
Thank you very much.
I don't like this color.
And I don't like the shape of this one.
Would you like to try them on？
- You don't mind? - Not at all!
- I'll do that then. - This way, please.
- Thank you! - You're very welcome.
Those are new products for this season.
Are you looking for something blue?
- I can't make up my mind yet. - Oh, I see.
Excuse me.
A person may not be parted with or disappear completely.
As long as I have memories of loving that person deeply...
he will be always in my heart.
Just like flower seeds holding their breaths underground through the winter...
There may be time when my heart is frozen from the pain and tears.
But those memories will empower me...
They will warm me up.
And they will encourage me...
to step towards the light.
Spring has come.
[Photo Exhibition by The Photographers' Society]
There was an unexpected reunion when the cherry blossoms bloomed.
It's good to see that you look well.
You too, Naoko.
How's your family?
Yeah, they're fine.
They're all fine.
Well, then...
Yeah, this is it.
Ji Won!
So long!
