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.
Episode 7
Ki-bum brought that knife back from Mongolia.
He liked it there, and for a while, wanted to go back.
That night, I did not know how
to decipher this ostensible coincidence.
Listen to this song.
Hello?
It's one of my favorites.
I did. It's nice.
It is, isn't it?
I knew you'd like it.
Where are you?
Just sitting on my bed.
Are you sleepy?
No, I usually sleep late.
It's past 3 o'clock.
Aren't you tired?
I am...
Are you?
No.
Since we've just met recently,
I want to tell you all about me
and find out all about you, Dr. Min.
Where were we when we spoke last?
The first time you were on stage.
But I want to talk about something else.
Have you ever seen your past life?
Past life?
I saw mine, and you and I,
Dr. Min, were...
Stop with that doctor business, will you?
Can I call you Ki-bum?
We were lovers in my previous life.
Why are you laughing? It's real.
Wow, that's pretty grandiose.
Where did you see your previous life?
On the Internet or at a fortune-telling cafe?
No, to tell you the truth, l'm seeing a psychiatrist for insomnia.
I told you before that I don't get much sleep, right?
During my hypnosis treatment,
I was transported into my past life.
Past life denotes to a life you've lived in the past.
But how can you see all of it?
If you've lived for 20 years,
it would take you 20 years to see all of it.
You're right, now that you mention it.
But it seemed like watching a movie.
I think it showed me just the most important parts.
Events in time so seminal that they are carved into eternity.
Time carved into eternity?
How cool.
And I was there in that time.
Yes.
I was definitely still me in my past life.
I felt the emotions and the pain.
But at the same time,
I was beholding myself consumed with emotion and suffering.
It is so strange.
Hold on for a minute.
I'm making myself a cup of coffee.
Should we continue later?
No, don't hang up.
I'm back.
Hello?
Ki-bum.
Good night, Ki-bum.
I had a weird dream last night.
I was dazed for a while even after I woke up.
I don't want to think that it was my past life.
I didn't believe in past lives.
I don't think that it was an unconscious vision, either.
What kind of a dream was it?
Ki-bum was a Mongolian warrior and I was a Koryo maiden.
You were there, too, Dr. Kim.
Isn't it funny?
What? I was in it, too?
How amusing.
Kang Jung-hwa was in it, as well.
Oh, Kang Jung-hwa.
You appeared in her past life.
And in yours, whether it was a dream or a past life,
she appeared in it, as well.
Were you two friends?
No, we weren't friends, but the relationships were so vivid.
What left the most lasting impression?
Death.
Oh, death.
That was the strongest impression.
She said she drowned to death.
That's why she fears water.
I fell to my death from a cliff.
I'm afraid of the water, as well.
I can' swim, either.
There's a saying...
A patient had severe claustrophobia.
He couldn't ride in an elevator or drive through a tunnel.
His phobia of sealed-off places was unqualified.
When passing through a tunnel,
if the exit appears in the distant,
he's pacified, but until it comes into view, he'd almost pass out.
He had a chance to look at his past life,
and he was in ancient Egypt in it.
A plague was circulating in his village.
And of course, he contracted it, as well.
But the villagers quarantined off those who had the plague
in a cave and sealed the exit.
He remembered that he'd died
from fever and thirst being trapped in there.
After he recalled his past life, his claustrophobia disappeared.
What was that dream?
That potent dream conquered me for a while.
It's me.
Where are you?
Oh, I see.
Remember your trip to Mongolia two years ago?
Yeah, when you volunteered.
The present you brought back for me, where did you buy it?
A present?
What was it?
Oh, the knife.
The handknife.
And a carpet?
Can't say for sure. Maybe I bought it at an open market.
It's so long ago. Or maybe it's a present from a patient.
Yeah.
It's a present from someone?
Then maybe it's really valuable.
No reason. I just grew curious all of a sudden.
Aren't you going to Mongolia again?
For a while, you kept saying that you wanted to go back.
Let's talk later in person.
All right.
Stop it.
Stop.
Hey. Enough.
I'll be your lighthouse till the end of time.
As if...
Kids these days are utterly devoid of the notion of thrift.
Hey, do you have any idea what the electricity bill comes out to every month?
It's not for you guys to play with.
I'm sorry.
Don't squander it just because it isn't yours.
I'm sorry.
Do you have any idea how hard Director Park is
trying to make things happen investing his own money?
Director Park.
What are you doing here this early?
What are you guys doing here?
Get a move on it.
Did they deliver the pamphlet?
They said they'd be here.
They said they'd be here? Go and check the status.
Where?
Should I check at the printer's?
Printer's nothing. Go to the company office, hurry.
Then should I call Sung-jae
and tell him to bring it when he comes? He's there.
Well, I never...
Kids these days...
Hurry up and go. Go fetch it right now.
Yes, I understand.
Jung-hwa, why did they kick us out?
I wouldn't know.
Why are they so mawkish all of a sudden?
Don't know.
Did something happen? between them?
What if something did? They're both single.
No, it's just that it's all good
and well if she's smitten with Director Park.
But why do we have to get the shaft on account of love?
Ki-su, I don't have anything to say if Eun-young reproaches me.
Why not?
Because she was Yeon-hwa's mom in my past life.
She hated me.
Here we go again.
I'm sorry to you, too.
I'm sorry.
We're good friends, right?
Feels out of this world!
Harder!
A little more!
Hey!
Excuse me!
You didn't have to bring it.
Just because.
Cheers.
Here.
You don't have to be that deferential. I'm not that old.
And I'm not used to a woman being nice to me.
It's awkward and uncomfortable.
I prefer a leveled playing field.
I didn't take gender into account.
I just wanted to be good to you.
Did I make you uncomfortable?
Yes, you did. It's burdensome.
All right.
But I want to be good to you.
Can't you just let me?
I wasn't able to do it in my past life.
I didn't have the chance. There was no time.
I regretted that the most when I died.
Don't you remember?
Your past life again?
What about your incurable disease?
No, it's not like that.
I have incurable disease in my imagination,
but my past life is real.
I really regretted not having been kind enough to you,
because of people's perceptions and self-esteem.
I'll probably forget about it soon, as well.
It's true. I really saw my past life.
I'm not saying you didn't.
It's true. It really is my past life.
One Missed Call Soo-hyun
You're still here?
They said you were in surgery so I waited for you.
I brought you coffee.
Sounds good.
I forgot to bring the cup.
It's O.K. You're supposed to
drink out of a thermos bottle in the lid.
I'll be right back.
It's all right.
I'll be right back.
Then I'll go with you.
No, you just stay and rest.
I really want to be good to you.
Don't think of it as a burden.
Just stay put and slowly enjoy what I have to offer.
Your just staying there is more than enough for me.
Why are you so startled?
No, I'm not.
What are you doing here?
Because I missed you.
Should we go out?
I just came out of surgery.
I was about to leave.
Let's go eat.
You must be hungry.
You didn't have dinner yet?
No.
What's that?
It's nothing.
Let's go.
Hello? What's up?
The E.R.?
All right. I'll be right there.
Are they paging you?
Yeah, the E.R.
- Should I go wait at your office? - No, I locked it.
Stay in my car.
I brought mine, too.
You did?
Then go stay in yours. I'll call you.
Jung-hwa?
What are you doing here?
Is anyone staying at this hospital?
You're his girlfriend, aren't you?
Him?
Dr. Min Ki-bum.
I knew it when I saw my past life.
That we'd like the same man.
That you'd be his girlfriend.
Yeonhwa, you're a noblewoman and you have everything you want.
But me... all I have is the love I have with Myung-jin.
He is my last hope, my sole raison d'etre.
How did...
You know each other?
She's my psychiatrist.
Oh, I see.
We need to talk.
Let's go to your office.
Dr. Lee, listen...
Jung-hwa, stay out of this.
I'll call you later.
What's going on?
She says she likes you.
What's going on?
She did?
Soo-hyun, listen, you see...
Is it true or not?
Is it?
Does she like you on her own or do you like her, as well?
Which one is it?
I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.
Since when?
Well... a while ago on one of Ki-su's performance nights...
No, a little before that.
We met by coincidence.
She collapsed in the subway and I brought her here.
Then she got a job at the coffee bar downstairs.
That's about it.
Did you see her often?
No, not for a while, but recently...
Are you telling me you really like her?
Is that right?
Is it just a fling or do you really like her?
I'm not sure myself.
But it's a different issue.
How is it different?
What kind of an answer is that?
Soo-hyun, right now, we should think a little more and...
About what?
I just found out.
But not you.
What more do you need to think about?
I'm sorry.
You still haven't answered whether you really like her or not.
Tell me, why can't you say it?
I really don't know.
I was unsettled myself.
How could I have told you?
You still should have told me.
Aren't you being a coward?
I asked you time and again if anything was wrong.
I wanted to tell you.
I was going to tell you.
I asked you what was wrong!
Did I or didn't I?
Why didn't you tell me?
You turn me into this sorry state all of a sudden.
You have no idea how dumbfounded I was.
Why did you do that to me?
I'm sorry.
I tried to tell you, but you're completely oblivious.
If I had confided in you, my load would have become lighter.
But what about you?
You were that thoughtful?
What do you mean it's another issue?
You just said that it was.
What does that mean?
Hurting you is truly regretful and I should seek forgiveness.
But I think my relationship with
Jung-hwa is a little different than one involving forgiveness.
That's what I meant.
It's not something for which you should be forgiven.
You're glad.
You did nothing wrong?
Then we have nothing further to talk about.
I'm sorry. I told her. I'm sorry.
You're still here?
I shouldn't have told her.
I brought it up first.
Go home.
Listen...
Let's talk later. Bye.
Soo-hyun
Soo-hyun...
I... are you with her right now?
I'm curious about something.
Did you sleep with her?
Did you?
What are you talking about?
You know full well.
What good would it do for you to find out?
It's nothing that will please you.
Did I ask you to come over because I wanted to be pleased?
You didn't?
Soo-hyun.
This won't help any in resolving our problem and...
Then what is it that you want to resolve?
You want to break up with me?
First of all, I'm really fazed.
About what?
You can break up with me and go to that smashing stage actress.
You're talking about bewilderment in front of me?
You're asking me to understand?
Didn't she say that you're her man of destiny?
Of course she did. She must have told you that you're her man of
destiny for whom she's waited hundreds of thousands of years.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I'm sorry.
But it wasn't intentional.
Intentional?
How can you?
With someone selling coffee at your hospital,
with a wanna-be actress?
Is that the best you can do, Min Ki-bum?
That's enough.
What's enough? What is?
We'll talk again later.
Hey, Min Ki-bum!
I... when you asked last time when we're getting married...
I was planning the wedding, and when to open our own practice.
I even thought of asking some colleagues for a partnership.
But what about you? What were you thinking, Min Ki-bum?
Leave.
Hurry up and go.
Is her appointment today?
Yes.
Tell her to just leave and that there won't be anymore treatment.
Tell her to just leave?
Show her in.
Take medication if you still can't sleep.
Exercise regularly and decrease your stress level.
I want you to continue to treat me.
This is the extent of my diagnosis.
I'm your patient.
I refuse you as my patient.
Please treat me.
You showed me my past life.
Let me be blunt with you.
I don't believe that it's your past life.
You have a boyfriend and Ki-bum has a girlfriend.
Isn't it just a fantasy you fabricated to justify your actions?
No, that's not it.
Do you think the man of destiny is an all-forgiving excuse?
Love is an emotion but even emotions submit to reason.
If we assign everything to to fate like you,
and a misfortune befalls us,
then we should be resigned to it as fate.
No, I was talking about the inevitability of love.
Destined lovers are reunited because they are meant to,
fall in love because it's their destiny.
Love that you can't run from.
Love that you can't escape.
Jung-hwa, do you like romance novels?
I'm sorry?
Books replete with sappy discourse on love,
the kind junior high school girls are mad about.
I know precisely why you came to me today.
I'm a psychiatrist.
Don't be artful with me.
Please show the next patient in.
This way, please.
Slow down.
Doctor Kim, I... my boyfriend, we've been together for too long.
I'm sick of him. l'm bored.
I'm thinking of replacing him.
What do you think?
Why, is Dr. Min giving you a hard time?
No, I'm impervious.
I don't need men all that much.
Do you know why?
Because I don't believe in a man of destiny.
Then what's the problem?
I don't have one.
We've just been together for too long.
Yeah, you shouldn't stick with the same guy for too long.
Cheers!
To your new future, Dr. Lee.
Thank you.
Dr. Min is seeing another woman.
It's Kang Jung-hwa. Isn't that a laugh?
What?
How did that happen?
You tell me.
It's odd.
Ki-bum has appeared in her past life and in my dream.
I doesn't seem like a mere coincidence.
Dr. Kim.
You said the human psyche is infinite.
Then how much more vast is the world that
we cannot even imagine?
How have you been?
I thought I wouldn't be able to see you again.
I went to see Dr. Lee at her office.
For what?
For my appointment.
Why didn't you go to someone else? Why did you go there?
She must have been openly rude to you.
I'm sorry. I just didn't want to miss my appointment.
I guess I was too selfish. I...
Let's talk about something else.
Where are you going for your summer vacation?
Doctors go on vacations, too, don't they?
Where did you go last year?
Did you go with Dr. Lee...
Oops, you told me not to mention it...
I don't remember.
It seems ages ago that I went somewhere with Soo-hyun.
We've been friends for so long
that she felt more like family than a girlfriend.
It's really deplorable that I'm neglecting her
because I've grown used to her,
because she's always by my side.
Do you see her often?
I'm going to take her rage and whatever else
she has to offer me because she must feel betrayed.
But among the three of us,
I think it must be hardest for you.
I'm a guy.
I'm the culprit.
Don't say that you're the culprit.
To be honest with you,
I feel sorry toward Dr. Lee,
but I'm disheartened to hear that
you see her often.
Don't you think I'm selfish?
If I can't get in touch with you and can't see you,
I feel nervous, I feel as if you're going to vanish.
I unwittingly start to think maliciously.
No, I'm really sorry.
My heart sinks to think how shocked she must have been.
Would you like to come in for some tea?
Go on in.
What am I going to do if I miss you?
I'd better get an operation.
Go on.
Do you regret coming in the other night?
No, it's nothing like that.
Will we ever be able to see each other again?
Then... well...
It doesn't matter if I can't date you anymore.
Even if we're nothing to each other,
can't we continue to see each other from time to time?
Can't we just see each other for no apparent reason?
You can come just to drink coffee.
Just don't up and vanish.
If I knew things would end up like this,
I should've just liked you on my own.
In my past life, we couldn't see each other.
We drifted apart and never saw each other again.
When I heard that you had died without my having seen you
I was thrown into utter despair.
Even if it's just once,
I wanted to see you.
