Episode 13
Ki-bum, over here!
That's my brother.
I asked him to have dinner with us.
You don't mind, do you?
Jung-hwa!
Why? Why did you do that?
Please forgive me.
I was hopeless from the beginning.
Master...
- Do you recognize me? - Yes.
You must have a lot to say to me.
This past life is truly overwhelming.
In what way?
I had a hunch that the four
of us were bound by inextricable ties.
But never did I once imagine
that me and Dr. Min were brother and sister.
- What should I do now? - About what?
Is our love forbidden since we were ill-fated twins?
That is merely your past life.
You are strangers in this life.
There is no need to confuse the two.
- Really? - Of course.
Then our love is permitted in this life?
That's what I said.
Still, it's unfortunate why such
a heinous curse was cast on us from birth.
It amounts to sacrifice.
Your two destinies were resigned to history.
Has the curse been lifted now?
Where are we destined?
Will we be star-crossed again?
Or will this be the life wherein our love is consummated?
- Are you curious? - Yes.
If not, will you stop loving?
If you have made amends for all of your sins, you will be united.
If not, you won't be.
I won't ask what happened between you and my brother.
It doesn't spark my interest and I don't want to know.
I will take you back if you agree to make a clean break.
I know Ki-bum, he can never leave Soo-hyun.
Do you have any idea how long they've been together?
Wedged in between, you'll just get hurt and be discarded.
Say something!
It's all right if you don't like me.
It's not the end of the world.
Just stay by my side.
I will double my affection for you.
I know I can do it if only Ki-bum is out of the picture.
- Say something. - What should I say?
- Anything! - It's harrowing for me, as well.
- But you can still consider it. - Let me think about it.
Ki-su, let's go to a club.
Are you all right?
Are you alone?
There's two of us.
No, it's all right.
Let me help you.
Don't worry about it.
Hey! What do you think you're doing, punks!
Ki-su, let's just get out of here.
Hey, what about yourself?
You son of a bitch!
Ki-su!
Let go! Let me go!
He just came out of nowhere and pummeled us!
Don't exaggerate.
No, this dude thought we were hitting on his girl...
Sheesh, see that dirty look he's shooting us?
Please remain quiet.
Hello.
- Who resorted to force first? - He did.
Get in.
Forget it. You've done enough for tonight.
Let's go.
This is what I think.
Once cracks begin to form in a relationship,
it will ultimately be torn asunder someday.
Once there's a crack,
I don't think it can be patched up.
I don't think I can continue seeing you.
Maybe l'm just narrow-minded,
but I don't think I can just pretend that it never happened.
So... I don't think this is going to work for me.
I will not ask foolish questions of you.
But I want you to promise me one thing.
Next time, sometime in our
next lives, if only for once,
please love me more than I love you.
Even now,
male patients become upset when I ask them to disrobe,
and they even refuse injections.
I'm sure I'm one of the very few
Chosun women who can slap a man's rear with assurance.
Do you administer injections on the face?
I'm sorry?
No, injections aren't given on the face...
Then why did you hit me that day?
I'm sorry?
You touched my body...
Don't be sorry to anyone anymore.
All we did was love. All of us.
We will be together in our next lives.
I wanted to make you my woman, in body and soul.
Your wish has been realized.
It has been realized already.
Good work.
Move aside.
Now I'm certain that it's my past life.
You're certain that your dreams comprised your past lives?
Yes. I would've accepted it earlier had I had less hubris.
- I've hit the ceiling. - No, you're not too late.
And what did you think after
seeing your past lives played out before you?
In the first one, death was the driving force.
However, in the second and third ones,
love and human relations trumped death.
And?
I simply didn't know.
I met Ki-bum in college and we dated and became lovers.
I didn't know that this was the product of such strife.
I had forgotten how much I cherished him.
Then snatch him.
There's your answer.
Did it slip by you because it's so simple?
What if it's too late?
First, let me apologize to you.
The whole thing was my idea.
I'm sorry for having thrown everyone into disarray.
No, it's my fault.
It wouldn't have happened if it weren't for me.
- How's Ki-su doing? - Upset.
- Was he furious? - He can't be consoled.
Why? What did he do?
He's a veritable softy.
Usually, he just stays off to the side.
You must have hated me.
You don't seem like yourself today for some reason.
Then what would be like me?
Are you telling me that a temperamental shrew is
what you made me out to be?
Do you remember Oh Young-mi form medical school?
- She opened her private practice. - Really?
Do you remember her fainting in dissection lab?
I remember going around with bones in our bookbags.
- Those were the good old days. - No kidding.
Are you going to her opening reception?
Dunno. She hasn't called me.
Then maybe I shouldn't go, either.
- Why not? - They'll ask me about you.
I'm sorry.
Did you bring your car?
No, I didn't drive.
I thought maybe we might drink.
- Should we? - No.
Listen... didn't you have something you wanted to say?
No. I just wanted to apologize for going overboard.
I'll get going.
There is something I want to say.
Let's start over if it's not too late.
The entire company is invited to a barbecue dinner on
June 27! Be sure to attend!
Are you short on anything?
I'm going shopping.
Do you want to come with me?
Do you?
We look just like a you-know-what, don't we?
I want to buy groceries and cook for you everyday.
- O.K. - What's that?
- I said O.K. - What is?
- I'll let you do that. - What is that supposed to mean?
Aren't you saying you want to marry me? I will.
Jung-hwa...
Ki-su, I liked your brother a lot.
That doesn't matter to you?
- It doesn't. - All right then.
Jung-hwa, are you serious?
Are you?
Stop right there!
Aren't you sick of me?
You got hurt because of me
and you won't be able to stay in business.
Don't you hate me?
Have you ever blamed that nobleman for anything?
Likewise.
Thank you for everything.
And... I'm sorry.
You don't need to say that.
I left something behind in the cottage.
I'll go fetch it.
I'm sorry.
You just looked at my back all along,
but I no longer have anyone to behold.
Hey.
- Did anything happen to make you beam?
- Yeah. - What great news.
What do you think it is?
Did you land the role of your dreams?
- Does it seem like it? - Is it film or stage?
Me and Jung-hwa are getting married.
You don't mind if I get married before you, do you?
- Are you in shock? - No, you decided together?
Do you still think it's wishful thinking for me?
No, don't get me wrong, I...
Congratulations.
So I'd like you to be careful from now on.
Preside over your wedding ceremony?
Do I look that old to you?
Aren't you being too rude?
- Just do it for us! - Just do it!
- Director Park! - Yes, it's not only for the elderly.
Do it for us!
We revere you more than anyone in the world!
Still, twerp... all right.
What if they mistake me for the bridegroom?
- Why're you laughing, squirt? - That's a little far-fetched.
- Hi, Jung-hwa. Congratulations. - Thank you.
Couples who work in the same
industry are gaining popularity.
And they understand each other better.
Right.
That was just a show of affection the other day then?
Yes, more or less.
Get in.
Are you surprised to see me in the driver's seat?
Get in.
Jung-hwa.
What's wrong?
Why aren't you getting in? I brought it here for you.
Hey! Jung-hwa!
Why, because it's my brother's car?
Isn't that true?
Why didn't you want to get in?
Just because.
- Just because what? - Just because.
- Anything happen in there? - No.
- Then? - I just didn't want to get in.
Why not?
Why are you still like that?
You're still not over him? Is that what this is all about?
Does your heart ache merely at the very sight of his car?
I just didn't want to get in.
Where did you go with him in that car?
You must have went somewhere.
He just drove me home a few times.
How many times?
- Ki-su, let's stop talking about this. - I said how many times?
- Late at night or during the day? - Ki-su!
What did you like so much about him?
Because he's a doctor?
You know it had nothing to do with it!
Then what did you like about him?
Hey!
Everyone has returned to their right place,
me with Ki-bum,
and Jung-hwa with Ki-su.
And Ki-su is going to marry Jung-hwa.
Marriage?
Yes, Ki-su is hopelessly smitten with Jung-hwa.
Is it unexpected?
- lsn't it for the better? - For the better? Can't say.
We won't be able to forget easily
but the wound will be diluted with time.
The link that holds us four together are so vigorous
that none one of us will be able to escape it.
Dr. Lee, are you relieved
that the two of them are getting married?
- To be honest with you, yes. - Really?
Yes, I honestly I am, but that's
not to say we have completely resolved all of our issues.
That should take quite a while.
It should.
Aren't you surprised to see me treating myself this honestly?
In the past, I would've been
unaware of my true sentiments by dint of my self-pride.
And if I were aware, I'd have put it differently.
That's right.
Dr. Lee, there are no good or bad things in the world,
just those that appear to be good and bad.
You're in this for the long haul.
What appears to be devastating
may turn out to be a boon and vice versa.
She said you drove her around in your car often.
You didn't?
- No. - How many times then?
- Not even a handful. - So exactly how many times?
- I wasn't counting. - You lost count?
Ki-su, why are you acting like this?
I heard you're getting married.
You shouldn't speculate about your future wife.
Do you know Jung-hwa better than I do?
- Right, I guess you do. - Ki-su...
When did you talk to her last?
When was the last time?
- What's gotten into you? - When was it?
- Hey. - Soo-Hyun.
Buy me lunch.
All right, let me wrap up.
I'll be out in ten minutes.
Why do you look so glum?
What's wrong?
Soo-hyun, why do you think
Jung-hwa accepted my proposal?
Don't you think it's in order to stay near my brother?
Or Ki-bum might have talked her into it.
Ki-su is seriously disturbed.
It's just a phase.
He's always been headstrong and tenacious.
It may develop into delusions of infidelity.
Delusions of infidelity?
Commonly referred to as the Othello syndrome.
He's not even married.
It's one of the most difficult psychiatric disorders to treat.
His condition hasn't deteriorated to that extent.
They refuse to admit their
condition hence refuse medication.
Soo-hyun...
I'm sorry to have to say this to you,
but you were the same to me until recently.
Was that a manifestation of it, as well?
It wasn't, was it?
I trust the two of them will resolve their own conflicts.
That would be a relief.
Breathe slowly and touch your elbow to the floor.
Breathe slowly and bring your body back up.
Lift your torso just up to the chest.
Enjoy.
Sorry I couldn't buy you something nicer.
I like this better.
Just wait a bit, I'll wine and dine you at hotels.
I prefer ramen with rice cakes over hotel restaurant fare.
Which hotel?
Who were you there with?
Why are you acting up again?
You said hotel restaurants aren't what they're cracked up to be.
When did you go and with whom?
Hey, fess up!
Stop acting like this! ls this why you asked me to marry you?
What did you tell me at first?
Didn't you say all I need to do is just stay by your side?
No matter what happened, you won't ask, be curious,
and you're not interested. Did you say that or didn't you?
Why aren't you standing by your word?
The loneliness was so unbearable that I wanted to die...
