Dear Hye Soo,
I'm sorry but let's pretend that we never plan for the surgery.
I will call you later so please go home.
Did something happen to my mother-in-law?
President Han visited her a couple of days ago.
She seems quite disturbed since then.
I will look for her.
Currently,
approximately 40% of those in their 30s,
62% of salary workers
and 65% of couples prefer to dine at family restaurants.
In a month, 45% of those above 15 prefer to dine at a family restaurants.
Dining at restaurants is not just a past time.
It is part of our culture.
The person you are calling is currently...
"Mother-in-law"
The person you have dialled is not available.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Don't you have anything to say to me?
Let's discuss our personal matters at a different place.
Let's go.
Are you trying to run again?
Although nothing could be done,
don't you think you owe me an apology?
Despite my kindness,
this is not something which I can forget easily.
Tell me what is on your mind.
Do you think what is happening between us is normal?
Please move.
Stop picking fights with me.
Fight?
Picking fights?
Do you think I am picking fights with you?
What are both of you doing?
Excuse me.
Did something happen?
Aren't you supposed to be having your surgery now?
I am not having the surgery.
Sorry?
Listen to me, Ji Hoon.
I am going to live for myself from now on.
I am content living in this way although I do not have much time to live.
You have gone through a lot for this. I am sorry.
Where are you?
I am not committing suicide so don't worry.
I am going to a place with fresh air,
I will think of good thoughts,
enjoy good food and live comfortably.
Then, I will leave this world with no regrets.
I have decided to accept my fate.
I will live as long as I can and die.
I will let you know when the time has come.
Forget everything and lead a meaningful life.
Are you joking?
Why are you not getting the surgery?
Don't you know what I have been through?
Take care.
Thank you.
Hello...
Do you know what you've done?
If I were you, I would just leave and die.
Why do you keep on clinging onto others all your life?
Do you want to keep on living and cause trouble to others?
You held on to me when you were young and now, your son.
Are you not ashamed of yourself?
"Operation Room"
"Han Ji Hoon"
The surgery has been cancelled.
"Han Ji Hoon"
I will be back after making a phone call.
It seems like you are busy, Ji Hoon. Do you have time tomorrow evening?
Please get back to me.
Do you know what I wish for?
I wish to take a family photo like other people.
A photo with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.
I just want to take a photo with my family.
I did not have a happy life.
I wanted to have a life like those in the photos.
I am back, dad.
Good.
People only have good words about you.
There will be a personnel appointment next month.
Be prepared to be appointed as the new director.
You have done a great job.
You need to dream big from now on.
I heard that your mum decided not to get the surgery and left the hospital.
Did you meet her, dad?
Are you thinking that she left because of me?
If she wanted to hide, she should have done that earlier.
Why did she do this after putting her son into so much trouble?
She is a real troublemaker.
That woman will get her payment early.
Since she is no longer needed, divorce her immediately.
When do you want to meet the lawyer?
-Dad... - What else do you want to say?
Just give up.
If she wants to die, then let her be.
Don't bother about her.
Please let me see her again for the last time.
I would like to bid her farewell.
Farewell?
Yes.
Please give me a couple of days.
What about your divorce?
I will divorce her as soon as I am back.
Close your eyes. Go to sleep.
Your mother-in-law must have been very upset.
Why did she leave on the day of her surgery?
The number you have dialled is not available.
But why didn't he visit his mum at the hospital today?
He is weird.
Something must have happened.
I am sure it wasn't on purpose.
You...
Do you still have butterflies in your stomach when he is around?
I am trying to call him because I am worried. That's all.
He has a lover so don't come up with weird ideas.
What is weird about what I say?
Also, how can a married person have a lover?
Is he cheating on you?
I'm sorry.
Go to sleep.
Did you find her?
-Is it Ji Hoon? -Yes.
Oh my God...
Is your mum in a lot of pain?
Where is she? Is she at the hospital?
I am relieved.
I was so worried.
I was worried if something happened like before.
Hye Soo.
Can you please listen to my final request?
What is it?
Would you please come with me to meet my mum?
Let's go.
We should take Eun Sung with us.
Eun Sung too?
It has been a long time, mum.
I haven't seen you for a long time, dad.
How have you been?
Who do we have here?
I thought I saw someone who looks like you walking around the village.
I didn't think it was you.
What are you doing here?
Where do you think this is? How dare you come back to this area?
How are you? Brother.
Brother? Did you call me brother?
I do not have a sister like you.
Leave.
This is my parents' grave.
What do you think you are doing at my parents' grave?
I will leave when I am done here.
You don't need to.
Just leave.
Why can't I visit my parents?
No matter how big my sin was,
I think I still have the rights to do so.
You are good with words.
A sinner?
It seems like you do understand your position.
You didn't even show up during their funeral,
why do you bother coming now?
You think I don't know you?
You want me to be your donor, don't you?
Since I told your son I wouldn't do it,
you have come to ask from me directly.
People can do anything when they are near their death bed.
That is not the case, so don't worry.
Don't deny it.
Don't even dream that I will help you out.
Go.
Leave, I say!
Stop it!
I am going to die here.
I will die by my parents' side.
Don't come nearer.
If you come any closer, I will die right now.
Don't come closer...
Good afternoon.
Look at that, mum.
There are a lot of mountains in the middle of the sea.
Those are not mountains, Eun Sung.
They are islands. Islands.
I see. They are islands.
You have never took her to sea before?
She doesn't even know what an island is.
I wonder.
My Eun Sung...
But mum...
Where are we going?
We are going to meet Uncle Ji Hoon's mum.
Uncle's mum?
Yes, uncle's mum. Grandmother.
She is not well so we need to make her happy.
If we make her happy, will she get better?
Definitely! She will feel better if we make her happy.
After that...
we shall ask her to go to the hospital with us.
Let's persuade her!
Let me go!
Stop it!
Just get on the ferry and leave.
I am not leaving.
I am staying here.
Uncle...
Who is it?
It is a good thing that we meet here.
Take your mum and leave.
Why did you come here? Why must you bring them too?
I have no idea on what is happening
but just take her back.
Uncle...
Seriously...
I would like to introduce you to my wife and my daughter.
Hello...
Your wife?
Your daughter?
Now I understand what is happening.
All of you are here to beg me for help, aren't you?
No.
Please be assured that it is not the case.
We are not asking anything from you.
Seriously...
There are a lot of flowers!
Eun Sung.
How do you know that I am here?
Where else could you have gone to?
Do I need to tell you again?
I am not going through the surgery.
I know. I understand.
If you do, then why are you here?
Don't worry about me.
I have made arrangements so I will be fine.
The hospital is also nearby.
If I am in pain, I can go there right away.
Why don't you trust me?
I am comfortable here. I like it here.
The smell of the sea gives me the strength to keep on living.
So, please leave.
Listen to me, mum. Madam Oh Mi Ran.
Do you have any idea on how suffocated I feel at this moment?
I am here to give you my last gift.
Didn't you say that your wish is to have a family photo?
You, me, your daughter-in-law and your granddaughter.
The four of us will take a photo together.
A family photo.
Ji Hoon.
It might be a fake family,
but we still do look like one.
This is funny.
According to the family registry, you are not my mum.
But in the document, she is my wife.
I won't force you to go back with us.
So, let's just spend time together for a couple of days.
It's so pretty!
What were you doing last night?
Why are you dozing off?
I wasn't dozing off.
What did you say?
Welcome.
Is Ji Hoon in?
Director?
He left for a business trip.
Business trip?
Yes.
Thank you.
Welcome.
What about Hye Soo?
Can I speak to her?
Hye Soo has been temporarily transferred to another branch.
She will not come for some time.
Temporary transfer?
Yes. She is at J Hotel in Jeju Island.
Ms. Kang Hye Soo?
I saw her leaving with Mr. Han.
Sorry? Where were they going?
I don't know.
I do not know whether they are going to Jeju or somewhere else.
They even took Eun Sung with them.
I didn't know that.
What nonsense are you talking about?
I am sure he saw the wrong person.
What are you saying?
I have perfect vision.
No, what I am trying to say...
Why are you blinking your eyes?
Did something get into your eyes?
Come over here. I will check your eyes.
He saw the wrong person.
I will come again.
Have a nice day.
Come here. I will check your eyes.
Perfect vision? Are you an eagle?
Ji Hoon and I are dating again.
Really?
I thought you might be against it.
Not at all. Congratulations.
Ji Hoon loves to change partners.
I should do the same to get equal with him.
How much should I give you?
How much do you want?
Scumbag!
Did you hit me?
We are the Eun Soo couple!
Let's start!
I have a healthy body.
I wear red clothes.
I am sweet smelling.
I am a cool tomato.
Tomato.
I will become juice.
I will become ketchup.
I will dance.
I am a tomato.
Tomato.
Thank you.
Mum, are they going to send our food?
Definitely!
I am excited!
We will serve your food now.
Have they turned red? Have they turned red?
Your daughter is very adorable.
Who do you look like?
You look like your dad.
Do you think so, too? You look like your dad.
Do you look like your grandmother?
Your grandmother does not look happy.
Your granddaughter is so cute.
Yes. You are blessed to have her.
Looking at your family make us feel good.
Enjoy your meal! Okay?
I'm getting up first.
I'll go in and get some rest.
How did her transplant go?
Did it go well?
No...
I think it was delayed.
Delayed?
Why?
Is there any problem?
Would those guys have some other agendas?
If not, why would they delay it without a reason?
If it already became like that, she should've just backed off.
Of course, silly Kang Hye Soo wouldn't do that.
Listen to her explanation later on, Seung Joo.
I'm sorry.
Hye Soo is going through an operation?
Did you hear it?
What kind of operation?
Is she sick?
No, it was just like an appendectomy.
What kind of appendectomy took ten days?
Who says it was for ten days?
Last time, Eun Sung said that her mum will go on the work trip for ten days.
It is to have an operation.
What kind of operation is it?
Which part of her is sick?
No!
Tell me, is she dying or something?
I said no.
Just tell me, why can't you tell me?
An appendectomy can go on for ten days if it's serious.
You don't know anything.
President!
You've come.
How are you?
Just okay.
My hands are shaking since it has been a while I grip a golf club.
Your dad suddenly suggested to play golf with me.
What can I do with this body?
I'll just watch him play.
Come and sit here.
So, what brought you here?
I'm sorry to visit you without notice.
Why? Is it about Ji Hoon?
I just hope to hear everything from you.
Tell me what happened with Ji Hoon and...
what has it got to do with that lady.
You haven't heard anything from Ji Hoon?
Can you tell me? I want to know everything.
They are together at the moment.
I'm the only one who doesn't know anything so...
I feel like I'm being fooled by them.
Are they together right now?
Don't worry, go and get some rest.
I'll take a nap.
Grandmother must be feeling unwell.
What should we do, mum?
I know... what should we do to help her?
I have an idea.
Mum, where's your cosmetics?
My cosmetics?
Here it is.
Eun Sung, what are you doing?
What is this?
I said that you may leave.
She is laughing.
Grandmother, can I tell you a funny story?
I'm a bit tired now, so I should sleep.
Eun Sung, one, two, three,
here you go.
Eun Sung, tell her many stories, okay?
I will go and buy some snacks and drinks.
Okay mum, see you later.
I'm going.
Your face, your face!
Who painted your face?
Was it you, Eun Sung?
You're a good painter.
Hi
How much are these?
5000 won.
Thank you, I hope you sell a lot today.
Give it to me.
It's okay, it's not even heavy.
Is it cute? Or chubby?
Pardon?
Miss! Tissues...
Thank you.
Stay still.
Let me do it.
Stay still.
It hurts, I'll do it myself.
It doesn't get removed.
What? No, let me do it. Let me do it.
-Hold on. -Hold on, it's dirty.
Okay, I got it.
-You... -Yes?
Why did you only buy a few chips?
Do you like chips?
No, I mean there are a few of us.
-Should I go and buy more? -No... that's not it.
Shall we open one?
You must like snacks, I will be right back.
No, don't worry.
I can't even say a word to you.
Why would I like chips?
I'm not Eun Sung.
Why do you walk so fast?
People might think that you're an athlete.
Because Eun Sung is waiting.
Actually my late husband and I were athletes at school.
You got it right.
What kind of sports?
Running...
I grew up near the ocean like this.
I just ran whenever I didn't feel good.
You know, The Road Runner?
My nickname was The Road Runner Hye Soo at school.
Whatever you say.
Don't you believe me?
Shall we race to see who will win?
The one who reaches the ocean first,
gets to flick the other's forehead.
We are not kids.
Hey, you. What?
-Come on. -No more.
I'm tired.
So call me The Road Runner Hye Soo.
Dogs... dogs held me down...
Why didn't you run properly?
One more time.
No, I'm about to die...
Let me get you up.
Oh my god.
You're not good at anything.
You can't run, you can't cook a ramyeon either.
Stop laughing.
Okay.
It's spring.
I know.
They must think that we went to Seoul to buy chips.
I should get going.
Master, where do you want to go after this?
This way.
-Yes, Master. -Eun Sung!
Eun Sung! Sorry, get down.
You can't hurt Grandmother.
Don't worry. No need to tell her off.
I asked her to play.
Eun Sung, do you want to play a word chain game?
Great!
I'll go first, Ocean!
Squirrel!
Dried fish!
Grapes!
Bell... bellflower!
Subway!
Mi... mi...
Migratory birds!
-I was going to say that. -Birds' poo!
Poo, poo... poo?
Grandmother is losing again.
Poo... poo nappies!
-Dogs' poo! -Dogs' poo?
Poo again? You can't...
-Dry! -Dry?
What's starting with Sh...
-Shells? -Yes, shells!
Eun Sung, Grandmother is tired.
Let's go and wash up yourself.
Here are the desserts.
Did you all enjoy the dinner?
Thank you.
I'm sorry but can you take a photo of us?
Mum likes a family photo and in a place like this,
she says we all have to take one.
She's a bit lame.
Give it to me. Come forward.
I'm a good photographer.
Eun Sung, let's go.
She's very cute.
Grandmother!
Okay, here we go.
Say Kimchi, smile!
Mum, why don't you smile?
-Smile. -And you too!
Stick together,
here we go.
One, two!
One more.
Have a look.
It's good. We are all good looking so...
It's nice, right?
Grandmother!
Go to bed.
Let's go to bed.
Hye Soo,
Kang Hye Soo?
Are you sleeping?
What's up?
Shall we have some beer?
No, thanks.
I want to thank you for the photo.
The photo looks good.
Right?
Yes.
Go to sleep then.
Yes, Na Yoon.
You did well, Eun Sung.
I've heard you went on a work trip.
Are you doing well?
Of course.
Ji Hoon, to be honest,
I've heard everything from your dad.
Regarding your mum...
He told me about that lady too.
You must have been having a hard time so far.
When are you coming?
Soon.
By the way, for the business trip,
did you go alone?
Is your daughter sleeping?
These are some fried kelps.
Please let your daughter try these.
I will call you again when I return.
What's wrong?
Yes? Nothing.
-Why? -Go to sleep...
It's okay.
Everything is okay.
Okay...
Is the kid sleeping?
Yes, she is.
Ji Hoon.
Oh, no. Please don't say anything.
Sleep early, please.
Please don't be so harsh on yourself.
You can stop.
I am already very thankful to you.
Thankful to both of you.
Thank you for the family picture, too.
But it still won't change my mind.
From this,
I realised that I've been having such a dumbfounded life from this event.
You just knew that?
I tried to build it so hard,
but it was just like building a sand castle.
It can collapsed just by a touch.
What have I been living for?
Ji Hoon,
I used to tell myself that I love your dad so much. Ji Hoon,
I used to tell myself that I love your dad so much.
If I didn't believe in that,
I couldn't live.
Sometimes, he made me hate him so much but...
I used to think that he probably didn't mean it.
The person whom he loves is probably me...
I used to believe this firmly.
However...
the other day, I realised that I was totally under an illusion.
It hit me hard.
Oh, God!
The darn love!
Throughout my life, I've always blamed someone else and made excuses.
Like what your dad said,
my life was like a chewing gum.
I didn't live my life, but your dad's life and son's life.
Why did I do that? For what?
If I go through the transplant operation with the mindset that
I will end the relationship with you,
I can't imagine how miserable the rest of my life will be.
But should I still live?
It's because being alive is a good thing?
Ji Hoon,
don't you think that it would be better to live my life for a day
than live with regrets for 10 years?
Should I live as a person
who used my son to have my life back?
If I live like this,
what will be so different from the previous life?
-Mum... -Please don't ask me to go back.
I will just live here.
Even if I can just live for a few months,
I want to live my own life happily and leave.
Ji Hoon,
you have already saved my life.
You saved my life.
Those two are together now.
Dad.
Come in only when I give you permission.
It is about Ji Hoon.
He didn't come as he likes. He is absent without notice.
I sent him for the business trip.
-What? -I said I sent him for the business trip.
Go out from here and sleep.
Dad.
I've heard a rumour. Can I confirm it with you?
What is that?
Ji Hoon will be promoted this time.
That will be decided by the board of directors.
I am not sure.
How can you not know about this?
Dad...
Everyone is talking about this
that he will get promoted through influence.
Jung Hoon, go to your room.
Why do you look upset?
Give me the water, too.
Please pour for yourself.
Give me too!
When I was young, you made me upset because of Oh Mi Ran.
And when I am old now, you show favouritism towards her son.
Why should I?
You are horrible.
There are rumours that you will leave all the properties to Ji Hoon.
What is so great about him?
He used to hang around and he is new.
Who leaves what?
There is no plan at all.
Does the company belong to an individual?
If anyone hears this, they will say you are stupid.
I have been living my whole life watching over the company.
I can't stand it anymore.
I will make it clear now.
The first son in this family is Jung Hoon.
Ji Hoon is the son of Oh Mi Ran.
She must be so happy if the son whom she didn't even raise gets everything.
She might be laughing at me now.
I am so angry that I can't contain myself.
Don't worry.
Oh Mi Ran can't laugh at you.
Are you saying that to comfort me?
She will die. So stop scolding me.
What?
She will die soon. Are you happy now?
Where is the chef?
He got off just now.
Hi.
Oh, Ji Hoon has not come back from the business trip.
It is not about that.
Please tell me where he actually went.
You know where he went, don't you?
I know his situation, so please tell me comfortably.
Well...
Where is the place?
I've heard that he went to find his mum.
Where is she?
What are you guys doing here?
You come here.
How is the progress of your mum's operation?
Why did she suddenly come here?
Why does she say that she will not ask you a favour and
what is that about your wife?
When did you get married?
How can you have a daughter like her?
-Well... -Did you...
buy a wife with money?
I can see the answer from your face.
I've been working as a sailor for 30 years, so I have quick wits.
So, I am right?
You buy a person with money...
You guys are all the same.
Yes, it's right.
I am always like that.
You are just like your mum.
You are so funny!
You did something horrible behind
and acted like you care so much about the family.
No...
I am totally fooled by you.
How can you be so good in acting?
I will believe if you say that you truly love her.
Yes, you are right.
I am funny.
Then why do you make your mum so upset?
Where can she find such a dutiful son like you?
I am not a dutiful son...
I don't know how the situation went wrong until now,
but you should know that things will not go well
if you try to solve them with money.
Understand?
-Mum. -Yes?
-I want to pee. -You want to pee?
Let's go to the wash room.
Let's go.
Get up.
Eun Sung, are you done?
Come out.
It's cold, very cold.
-Mum. Can I sleep with Grandmother? -Yes?
No, she is sleeping now.
Eun Sung...
Mum, Grandmother said she is fine.
She asked me to sleep with her.
Alright.
Grandmother, you haven't slept yet?
Yes, I am not sleepy.
Why are you not sleepy?
It's because I am old.
I am a little kid,
but I don't feel sleepy because I am so happy.
My mum didn't go to work and came here with me.
So, I am very happy.
Your mum always works?
She never goes out with you?
Yes, she does.
She works over and over again to earn money.
Really? What kind of mum is she?
She should stop making money and goes out with you.
Yes, doing it needs money...
to buy snacks and pork belly.
-By the way, Grandmother. -Yes?
Where did you feel pain?
Just here and there.
When you get old,
every part of your body is painful.
Please don't be sick.
Don't be sick.
I will blow it for you.
Eun Sung, you are so kind.
Very kind.
I will sing a lullaby for you.
Good.
This is a song that I used to sing for my son when he was little.
When mum goes to pick oysters at the island beach
The baby is left and keeps in the dwelling alone
With the lullaby singing by the sea...
What are you doing?
You were not asleep?
Why didn't you go to bed and stay out here?
I am having a little headache.
I think it's because I got sea sick
when I boarded the boat after a long time.
Is it so bad?
No, I am okay now.
Go in, now.
You can go first. I will take a walk and then go after you.
Then,
stay at this side because the sea breeze is very cold.
I will go first.
Yes.
Take this.
It's fine. I am okay now.
Please eat it.
You look very pale.
Sir, I won't eat this.
I may go through the operation as soon as I go back to Seoul,
and the doctor said it's not good to eat something like this.
I am really fine.
Let's go inside.
We will go back tomorrow morning by taking the first ship.
Did you manage to change your mum's mind?
Just the three of us first.
No, we need to go together. I don't have much time.
What do you mean?
I mean...
we need to convince your mum somehow.
How can we go by ourselves?
We just brought her here without telling anyone.
Let's just go.
No,
I have to go with her.
Hye Soo.
Put this on. Why did you come out when you are shivering so much?
Never mind.
We need to convince her.
How can we go by ourselves?
She is not going through the operation.
There will be no operation.
I am going to accept her decision.
Why?
I just wanted to let her now.
You won't regret?
Don't worry.
Then, your mum...
I'm not going to change my mind.
I am the one who breached the contract first.
I will settle the balance soon.
So now, our contract ends.
You have gone through so much.
You met a shameless guy
and have gone through so much.
I am so thankful to you for making it this far.
Honestly, I enjoyed myself.
I felt that it was really like a family trip.
We got along quite well, right?
To celebrate the end of our contract,
shall we shake hands?
I have no right to say this,
but please live happily from now on.
Here we go.
I am so sorry, dad. I can't give up on her.
Will my life be able to sparkle for once and last?
For your case,
Kang Hye Soo, you have 30% chance of surviving until the next five years.
I made a mistake last night.
I didn't make any mistake. Let's start our relationship.
