(Sooning Theater)
Hye Ja, get over here.
We're late. Let's go in.
I'm going already.
Just wait.
You wait for me too.
(The Light in Your Eyes, Episode 11)
- Hurt himself? - He hurt himself?
No.
He was about to, but I stopped him.
He must have untold issues.
It's so romantic.
Really?
I think there's a special connection between you and him.
You suddenly met by chance during a protest.
It's like a movie.
Right? I also think we were destined to meet.
Where are we going, by the way?
I'm going to meet my destiny.
- What about us? - We should part ways here.
It's my first date today.
- See you. - Hey!
Hye Ja!
(Jaywalker, Bicycles, and Handcarts Trespassing Restricted Areas)
(Yonghyun Police Station)
Officer, how much longer does she have to stand here?
Why did she jaywalk to begin with?
I totally ruined our first date.
It's okay. This makes our date more memorable.
Hey, you. Don't stand there. Wait over there.
- Bye. - What?
(Obey Pedestrian Safety Rules)
How could you jaywalk right in front of a police officer? Get in there.
Why did you do that?
Because this is our first date.
What?
What's the matter?
Did we do something wrong?
No, don't mind me.
- There's not a single soul here. - I know, right?
We can do whatever we want here. No one will ever find out.
You had something on your cheek.
Let's go.
What was that about? He should've rubbed until my dimple was gone.
Come here.
I can't hate him.
I shall go because of that smile.
(Doctor Kim Sang Hyun)
Hey, so what happened? You didn't get to kiss him, again?
He held my hand on our first date,
so I was worried that we were moving too fast,
but he's done nothing else for months now.
Any healthy man would want to hold his lady after holding her hand.
After that, he'd want to kiss her, right?
There's just no progress with him.
- I like how pure hearted he is. - Whatever.
I don't like guys who are all about the physical stuff.
- Until when must I wait though? - Hey, just be patient.
I'm sure things will progress eventually.
I'm just anxious.
He's such a good catch, you know.
Seo Yeon, that girl, has been outright hitting on him...
since becoming a news anchor.
I also heard that there are...
so many ladies who want to set up their daughters with Joon Ha.
How can I not be anxious?
Then just ask him to marry you.
Hey, women got married before even meeting their husbands in the 60s,
but what era are we in now?
The liberal era has begun. This is 1970.
I should at least kiss the guy before I marry him, don't you think?
I'm sorry, but it doesn't sound like it'll happen this year.
Lee Joon Ha, I'll make you kiss me.
Brace yourself.
I'm sorry. I'm quite late, aren't I?
What shall we do today?
Let's go for some good food.
Sure, what do you want to eat?
I have a craving for something.
Webfoot octopus.
Webfoot octopus? Out of the blue?
Webfoot octopus.
Where can we go to eat webfoot octopus?
Chungmu.
Chungmu?
Chungmu in South Gyeongsang, which takes 10 hours from here?
Chungmu.
- Are you feeling sick? - No.
I'm feeling totally fine.
To go to Chungmu, even if we leave now...
Forget it.
Let's just go for some tteokbokki.
My lips are twitching.
Hey, you said you're craving webfoot octopus.
I heard the film, "East of Eden", will be in theaters next week.
Seriously? I've really wanted to see that film.
Let's watch it next week.
You'll catch a cold.
It's now.
Let's go.
What is wrong with him?
It's now.
Follow me.
- Let's go into the woods. - Why?
I want to enjoy the clean air to the fullest.
- It's a little dark. - Which means the air will be clean.
I need to take you to a secluded spot to try...
What kind of crazy jerk pooped here?
I shall sew your bottom hole shut.
You piece of...
What a mess.
Hey, do you girls need an extra set of lips by any chance?
I can't even get a kiss. You girls can take my lips.
Hey, do you want a bowl of this?
Dongchimi cools you down like nothing else does.
Girls, get up. Let's go.
- Where? - Behind the mill...
up the street, there's a famous fortune-teller.
Why do you want to go there?
As a mere human, I can't figure out how to resolve this problem.
I shall go there and get the best date for kissing him.
- The best date for kissing him? - That's right.
I'll even get a talisman. Girls, get up.
Come on!
Hello.
We can sit here, right?
What brings you here?
Oh, well...
I have a boyfriend,
but he hasn't kissed me yet.
When do you think he'll kiss me?
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
It's the perfect day to kiss.
- My gosh! - Hey!
Are you sure?
Oh, my. Hey, what should I do?
I'm already so nervous.
What should I wear tomorrow?
Thank you.
Oh, dear.
What's wrong?
Gosh, it's nothing.
It's not like you won't do it if I try to stop you.
It's just your fate.
- Do you want a reading too? - No.
You're the one who needs fortune-telling.
Why?
Are you...
interested in becoming a nun or a monk?
- Not really. - You have a monk's head.
I'm not interested.
That's the only way to get rid of it.
Get rid of what?
You'll bitterly regret...
three times in your life.
Fine. Just raise it.
- Raise what? - Just raise it.
Are you a singer or an actress?
Oh, my.
How did you know...
You definitely look like an entertainer.
I'm training to become a singer.
Then you should be famous by now.
What is getting in your way?
It's completely blocked up.
"Blocked up"?
I am actually constipated.
What's your name?
It's Yoon Sang Eun.
Yoon Sang Eun.
(YSE)
Your name is to blame.
Your name is the problem. This is no name...
for an entertainer.
As soon as you change your name, you'll become a star.
- Do it. - What...
What should be my name then?
Let me see.
(YB)
(YBH)
"Bok" for luck,
and "Hee" for joy.
"Bok Hee".
(Yoon Bok Hee)
"Bok Hee"?
"Yoon Bok Hee"?
Are you walking me home?
Yes.
Is that it?
What?
I have time.
It's curfew soon.
Our parents will be worried.
I'll be kissed today, my foot!
Let's go home before we get in trouble.
"Trouble"?
You're the trouble.
Fine. Let's go home.
Over here. Get them!
Stop there!
Look how boring your lips are.
Your lips have no feelings.
They completely lack narrative.
My goodness.
"Narrative", she says.
What did you exactly do? Lip-wrestle?
What do you guys know about kissing?
Shame on you.
Look at you, Hye Ja.
Now that your dream came true, you have nothing to worry anymore.
That's right.
After the kiss comes,
the proposal and the wedding.
Are you sure you can get away with this?
What do you mean? Oh, this?
I'll just tell them I fell.
How on earth could you land on your lips, though?
Right. And my lips will stay swollen for some time.
I can't believe Joon Ha.
He is so enthusiastic in everything he does.
He is way too overzealous.
He's overzealous, and you're crazy, right?
Can I crash at your place for a few days?
Anyway, if we kiss any more than this,
I'll end up looking like a pelican, right?
Now that I think of it,
that fortune-teller was pretty accurate.
Why? Did she get anything else right?
Ta-da, my debut album.
- Sang Eun! - Sang Eun!
I'm not Sang Eun anymore.
I'm Yoon Bok Hee.
- That's right! - She's Bok Hee.
- She's Bok Hee. - Yoon Bok Hee.
- This is amazing! - Yoon Bok Hee.
Congratulations!
Mother, your friends are here.
What?
- Hye Ja. - Hyun Joo.
Hye Ja.
Oh, my.
Sang Eun.
- I'm Bok Hee. - That's right.
- I'm Bok Hee. - Bok Hee.
- Have a seat. - Are you okay?
I'm okay.
You guys must be busy.
No matter how busy we are,
we still want to see you, Hye Ja.
Hey. I wasn't sure what you wanted to eat,
so I brought your favorite stir-fried seafood and some others.
Can you eat it?
The food here is pretty good too.
You didn't have to. By the way,
Bok Hee, you're still so pretty.
You're still gorgeous.
You're the prettiest one among us.
I get to see Hyun Joo from time to time.
But you're not on TV as much as before.
- You were sad? - Yes.
- You were? Then... - Yes.
let me sing live for you right here,
- okay? - Please.
When you feel...
- lonely - Hey.
- What is it? - Hey.
Do you think that song suits this occasion?
It doesn't?
Then let me sing another one.
- Another one? - What about "Spring Day is Over"?
Sing "Spring Day is Over".
- It's your favorite, right? - Yes.
- Sing "Spring Day is Over". - All right.
The pale pink skirt fluttered
In the spring wind
With the coat tie in my mouth yet another day
On the shrine street with mountain birds
When flowers bloomed
We laughed together
When flowers fell
We cried together
Our promise
Was sincere
Now the spring day
Is over
Are you Yoon Bok Hee, by any chance?
- I am. - Oh, my.
Didn't I tell you she is my friend?
I never believed you.
But now I see it's true.
Can you give me an autograph?
- Of course. - My youngest daughter loves you.
Give her your autograph. We take classes together.
Okay.
Give me a second.
I'll go get a pen and a piece of paper.
It's okay. I have them.
- You do? - Yes.
You had them there?
Here. Here's a pen.
Here.
- Cha Eun Sook. - "Eun Sook"?
That's my daughter's name.
Okay.
(Yoon Bok Hee)
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I got one too.
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Hyoja Nursing Hospital)
Ppoppi, look at this.
Thank you.
Ppoppi, we have her autograph. I'm so happy.
Do you want to go for a walk?
I want your autograph too,
but I can't see.
You can't? Hold on a second.
Stay like that. Just a second.
Good.
- Are you happy now? - Thank you.
- Thank you. - That's great.
Let's go.
Is there anyone else left?
I think you're all done now.
- Gosh. - Oh, boy.
I feel so proud to have such a famous friend like you.
- Don't mention it. - Great job.
By the way, Bok Hee must be hungry.
Let's eat what we brought.
- Hello, there. - My gosh.
They are must be your friends.
Hello.
I'll see you later in my office then.
Oh, my. Goodness.
My heart almost dropped there for a second.
He's a doctor who works here.
Doesn't he resemble him so much?
No, Hye Ja. That's not just a resemblance.
I thought Joon Ha came back alive or something.
When Hye Ja got married...
No, when Dae Sang was born,
- that's just what he looked like. - Right.
Whenever I look at him,
I get startled as well.
I understand. My gosh, Hye Ja.
It must remind you so much of the old times.
Of course it does.
What's wrong this time?
Were you tortured or something?
He's not proposing to me!
Darn it.
As of today, it's been one year since we first kissed.
How could someone be so slow and lack creativity?
All he does is kiss me all the time. Darn him.
Is it a proposal this time?
What if I get tired of waiting and just marry another guy?
Is he taking me for granted?
I feel no tension at all in our relationship.
Should I try create the tension a bit?
You should keep waiting as long as your lips can bear it.
He'll propose one day.
- When is that? - Well...
What? On my 60th birthday?
For a man like him who doesn't know how to learn on his own,
there's no other way but to make him learn by rote.
Starting today, I'll begin my operation to make him propose to me.
How could you repeat the same routine all the time...
with just a different objective?
How will you make him propose to you?
Kissing and proposing are...
all about mood.
If I just set the right mood, he'll have no choice but to do it.
In order to set that mood, I will go on an overnight trip with him.
- Your parents will never allow it. - Why not?
I'm going on a trip with you.
- Who? Me? - Yes.
Come over to my place and tell my parents we're going on a trip.
You want me to lie?
Why? Can't you do that for a friend?
I'm afraid I'll have a daughter like you one day.
- With Yeong Soo? - You brat. That's ridiculous.
Okay.
Hello there, everyone.
I'm the operator, Kim Yeong Soo.
I'll hand the mike over to you.
All copy. Are you really Kim Yeong Soo?
It's an honor. I've heard so much about you from other operators.
Copy.
Have rumors about me spread already?
Copy. You're a star to amateur operators like us.
- Copy. - Mom, it's true.
I'm going on an overnight trip with Hyun Joo.
We must be having some temporary static. I'm sorry.
Please wait.
Seriously...
A trip?
What's wrong with your lips?
I ate something hot. I burned my lips.
It hurts.
Anyway, Mom. I'll be going with Hyun Joo.
Why would you be worried?
Why wouldn't I be when two feisty girls like you are going on a trip?
There's no need to be worried at all. I'm your daughter.
Hyun Joo and I won't cause any trouble at all and come back.
Don't you trust me, Mom?
Two girls going on a trip? In such a terrifying world?
- An overnight trip? Never. - Hey!
Mom, you should never trust her.
She told you to trust her before...
and pocketed all that money you gave her to buy books.
- If she hadn't pocketed that money, - Hey, stop it!
- That's not true! - we wouldn't be this broke.
- Mom, listen. - Get out now!
- Mom, no. - Mom, don't listen to him.
That's not true. He pocketed more money than me.
In the middle of
A fiery blizzard
At the docks of Heungnam
At the sound of the boat horn,
15,000 birds living in Heungnam dock...
all flew up to the sky at once.
As they watched the ship sail further,
people exchanged their last goodbyes.
"Please come again. Take care."
The merchants didn't miss this timing...
and started grilling squid on top of a bonfire.
Do you think they can see that through the radio? You idiot.
It's not just the radio, it's the ham radio.
I told you to be quiet.
Don't say a word.
Thank you for today's communication.
Thank you for your final comment.
That will be final. Thank you.
- You should leave. - I almost persuaded Mom,
and you ruined it.
Go persuade her again then.
Do you think that's possible?
There is a way.
What do I have to do?
Do you want to go on a trip?
Do you really want to go on that overnight trip?
Yes.
Then tell her you're bringing me with you.
What? That's absurd.
Then you'll never get to go.
- How could I... - Hey.
I'm busy too. I don't want to go either.
I'm just offering since you want to go so much.
Mom will be reassured and allow it if I tag along.
- Don't you want to go? - I do.
Where is it?
Look at him all excited.
Don't you worry. I got him covered.
Hey. Just take him to a cliff somewhere and push him.
- Can I really push him? - Yes, just do it.
(Mr. Choi's Inn)
- I'll do it. - No! Don't touch it.
Do you think it's easy to light a fire?
Lighting a fire is no easy task at all.
Did you learn about the Neolithic era?
Back then, only the village chiefs handled the fire. Do you know why?
Since it was difficult.
- You don't know anything. - The fire is getting weak.
Hey, no! I told you not to touch it.
No fire has ever gone out in front of me.
It went out already.
Maybe it's because we're in a different neighborhood.
I need time to adapt.
- Hold on. - I'll try it.
Right, good. Now is the timing to add more firewood.
Let's have a talk.
No, I'm busy right now.
I have something to tell you!
I'm lighting a fire right now. You can just tell me here.
Would I be asking if it was something that simple?
Please excuse me for a while.
Okay.
Where?
By the way, Hye Ja is by that stream over there.
What are you doing here alone?
What? It's just pretty down here.
It is pretty.
I want to build a pretty house and live here later on.
That sounds nice.
Right?
The kids can play in the water, and me and...
my husband can watch them happily.
How many kids shall I have?
I'm not sure.
- It might feel lonely with one kid. - Of course it will.
I'll have at least three kids.
Then what should I do first?
Should I build a house? No...
Should I buy some land? No.
I should get married first.
In order to get married, there is something that needs to be done...
Look, look.
Aren't I so good at skipping stones?
I'll make it across this stream this time.
Hye Ja.
You should try it too.
- Forget it. - Go on.
Don't throw it like that.
Here. Try again.
Goodness. You really stink at this.
Here, try again.
What?
Are you attached to that pebble or what?
It was a ring.
- A ring? - I wanted to propose to you today.
What?
You should've just given it to me. Why did you hand it to me then?
I couldn't just give it to you. I had to make it special, you know.
I wanted to surprise you.
Did it fall around here?
I don't know.
You can't even get the timing right.
When did you decide to propose to me?
A few months ago.
I've been waiting for the right moment.
Why didn't you propose to me when you made up your mind?
Have you been waiting for a long time?
You're not completely clueless after all,
but you only take hints that you want to take!
I found it.
Where? Where is it?
It's beautiful.
Did it get scratched up?
No, it looks fine.
You see,
I can't take hints,
and I don't have a lot.
What I lack outnumbers what I have.
But if you're okay with that,
would you marry me?
It looks beautiful on you.
What is this?
I bought it to propose to you.
I brought it, thinking that I should propose to you if you don't.
Well...
You haven't given me your answer.
Would you marry me?
Yes.
Hey, what's wrong? What happened?
Hye Ja, what's wrong?
Joon Ha...
proposed to me!
By the way, what happened to your faces?
Hey.
Shall we go back and finish our conversation?
Okay, Yeong Soo.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Okay?
You piece of...
When?
When we went on that trip together.
You guys had time to do that?
You don't need a lot of time to get pregnant.
Hey.
Are you okay?
What is wrong with you? Are you pregnant or what?
Sorry, I get nauseated easily.
I'm sorry. I thought you'd get married before me.
Well, there's no set order.
That's right.
Since I'm your older brother, it'd be better for me...
to get married first anyway.
I'll buy Joon Ha a new suit.
We can't even afford to buy your suit.
That being said,
can you buy me a suit...
You can't, right?
(Rami Photo Studio)
(Portraits, ID Card and Passport Photos)
(Wedding, Birthdays, ID Card and Passport Photos)
(Hyoja Nursing Hospital)
Will her condition keep getting worse?
(Doctor's Office)
It won't get better.
So the medication doesn't work?
It simply...
slows down the progression, that's all.
Then there's probably no reason for her to stay here.
Well, both you and your wife work, so it'll be hard...
for you to look after her all day and night.
Also, if the symptoms of delirium suddenly worsen like last time,
an unexpected accident may occur.
And we'll keep an eye on her too,
but make sure she doesn't go down to the basement.
The basement?
Ma'am.
Doctor.
What are you doing here?
Please go back to your room.
What are you doing?
I don't need to stay in this expensive private room.
I asked to be moved to a ward for six people.
Just stay here.
Private rooms aren't even covered by insurance.
Money is one thing,
and I also get bored here because I'm always alone.
There's no ward that's available now, so just stay here.
They said they'll move me as soon as one become available.
Did you take your medication?
I told you to take your medication on time.
Especially this one. You must take it on time.
Give me that.
Where are you going?
You said my pumpkin, Yeong Su, is coming.
I want to wait for him in the lobby.
Ma'am. I can't find...
any veins on your arms today,
so I'll give you the shot on your foot.
You can get it on your arm again when you recover a little.
It'll sting a bit.
You're okay, right?
Good. You did a great job.
- Get some rest now. - Thank you.
Did it hurt?
You're doing very well.
Honey, when you're finished with this,
let's go for a walk.
- Nurse Kim. - Yes?
- What's the matter? - Gosh.
Stop frowning in the hospital.
I wasn't frowning.
I was just looking at you.
Then why do I feel so bad?
What have you been doing? The patients are scared of you.
They want someone else.
Try to smile.
I smile all the time. I'm smiling even right now.
You're smiling right now?
- Yes. - Then stop smiling.
Gosh. Smile again.
No, don't.
My goodness. You look scary.
It's bath time. Hurry up.
Some college students are coming to help out.
Keep an eye on them.
Okay.
My gosh. Smile.
No, just don't.
- Hello. - Hello.
Well...
I guess the students are not here yet.
Sir, let me wash you up.
Please take off your clothes.
Don't call me "sir".
All right. Brother, let me wash you up.
I'm a college student. Class of 2018.
You're so funny. You should become a comedian.
I mean it. Look at my college jacket.
I never went to Harvard,
but I have a Harvard jacket.
Let me wash you up now. Take off your clothes.
I'm really a college student.
- I can still wash you up. - Stop taking off my clothes!
- I have to take these off too? - Of course.
Why are you crying?
You're like an eraser.
Hyun, what are you doing here?
Help me.
I told you I'm a college student!
- You're really class of 2018? - I already told you!
Why did you give in so easily?
You finish up.
Gosh.
Hello.
Oh, my. It's still daytime, and so many are watching.
Today I'm finally at the hospital...
to see Grandma Hye Ja.
Give me a second.
Grandma, come here.
(Are we finally going to see her?)
- All right. Ta-da. - Should I look here?
This is my grandma. What do you think?
Isn't she lovely?
She wanted to become a news anchor when she was young.
She has a great voice.
Do you want to hear it?
Grandma, say that.
- Say what? - You know what I mean.
Yes, this is it.
Yeong Soo, come and eat!
What do you think? Isn't she just adorable?
Grandma. Look here.
Everyone is saying you look beautiful.
Where?
Here. Do you see those comments coming up?
There's some mango juice in the fridge. Do you want it?
- No. - Do you...
have to continue with that?
Guys, see you tomorrow. Bye.
Grandma, say bye.
Bye.
Your grandma needs rest.
I'm fine.
You must be busy. You didn't have to come.
Don't worry. I missed you, so I came here straight from the airport.
You go on way too many business trips.
Your boss is too mean.
You shouldn't criticize my boss.
Because I'm my own boss.
Oh, right. I have something to give you.
What is it?
Ta-da.
Why would you waste money on something like this?
It's money.
Get some nice clothes for the winter.
Give it to your mom.
It's okay. I'll give her something else.
This is for you.
Did you eat?
Take him and get something to eat.
You didn't eat, did you?
If you don't eat well when you're young, your body gets ruined.
All right.
I'll come back soon.
I have some work left.
I have to go.
Stop by at home sometime.
Your mom wants to see you.
I'll call her. Bye.
- Up above the world so high - Up above the world so high
- Like a diamond in the sky - Like a diamond in the sky
- Twinkle, twinkle, little star - Twinkle, twinkle, little star
- How I wonder what you are - How I wonder what you are
- Good job. - Good job.
- You're adorable. Come here. - Grandma.
My babies. You're adorable.
Your grandma must be tired.
She needs some rest. Let's go have ice cream.
- Let's go. - Go have some ice cream.
- Enjoy your ice cream. - Let's go.
- We'll be right back. - Okay.
Oh, my. How adorable.
What is it?
Is something bothering you?
Nothing.
Come on.
Mom, we're in deep trouble.
Can you help us?
Mom, you have some money left from the house, right?
I started to run a shop to support my family,
and I'm struggling.
Please help me out this once.
Yes. Mom, I'm in this too.
I put a lot of money in it.
If he goes bankrupt, so will I.
I don't have any money.
I sold that house and gave you all the money...
before I moved here.
I know you didn't give us everything.
I can't.
It's for Eun Sook.
She's my child too.
- Eun Sook... - She doesn't need any money.
Mom, we're in some serious trouble.
Eun Sook needs the money more than you two do.
She put you two through college...
and sold her land for your weddings.
To put you two through college,
she had to work at factories all those years.
And I couldn't give her anything when she got married.
I've heard that enough.
I didn't ask you to do that.
In the end, I'll be the one who holds memorial services for you.
Why can't you help me out a little?
We're the ones who visit you here.
We're the ones who do our duties.
Do you think she doesn't want to do her duties?
If you have nothing else to say, leave now. Get out.
Here.
Children are like that.
Children never understand their parents.
All they care about is money.
Can't they see...
their sick mother?
I'd understand if Eun Sook asked me for money.
No one welcomed her when she was born because she was a girl.
She started working at a factory at such an early age.
She put her older brothers through college...
and even paid for their weddings.
When she got married,
she didn't take any money from me.
"It's okay, Mom."
That's what she said.
She's a good daughter.
She's so thoughtful.
Does she live far away?
I don't think I've seen her.
She is in the hospital.
Maybe she was too thoughtful.
She got cancer. Uterine cancer.
But it's an early stage, so it'll be fine.
The technology these days is amazing.
If chemotherapy, or whatever it's called, goes well,
she can fully recover.
That's a relief.
Still,
I feel like it's all my fault.
Sometimes I wonder if this is all because I've lived for too long.
You know that's not true. It's not true at all.
Yes.
She called me a while ago.
She said her treatment went well...
and said she'd come to visit me soon.
That's a relief. I'm glad to hear it.
What's that for?
Fresh kimchi.
The hospital food seemed bad.
I'm not sure if she can eat something spicy.
I hope it suits Mother's taste.
I'll just make it less spicy.
(Hyoja Nursing Hospital)
Eun Sook.
Goodness. When did you arrive?
My lovely daughter.
Why did you lose so much weight?
My gosh.
I always used to be skinny.
What about you?
You look so thin.
No.
I eat so well at this place.
What about your cancer?
I'm all cured now. I'm okay.
Really? Are you really cured?
Did your doctor tell you that you're cured?
Of course. That's why I came here to see you.
Gosh. I feel so relieved.
Your brothers visited earlier today.
Do you know how much they infuriated me?
They wanted the money from our old house.
I'll never let them get their hands on that money...
- and leave it to you. - Mom.
It's all right. Just give it to them.
Those words...
still break my heart.
You always say that it's all right.
"It's all right if my brothers are happy."
Where did that lead you? You're the only one...
who ended up sick.
Did your brothers ever pitch in any money?
They have no sense of shame at all.
Mom.
I'm really all right.
Why is that all you can say?
I'm not fine with it.
I want to give you that money.
I couldn't do anything for you my whole life...
and I still have deep regrets inside my heart.
Okay?
Right. I have something that I want to give you.
This is an autograph from your favorite singer, Yoon Bok Hee.
These are nutritional supplements.
These are good for your health too, so take them.
Eun Sook.
I'm sorry.
In your next life,
will you be born as my daughter again?
If that really happens...
Since I've already experienced it once...
I'll be a really...
really...
good mom to you.
Oh, right.
Mother's feet are cold. I should bring her some sleeping socks.
You're here.
You must be tired.
You can come tomorrow.
Did I wake you up?
I brought your favorite fresh kimchi and jangjorim.
You have trouble eating the food they serve here.
I don't even know what anything tastes like now.
Still.
Gosh, your feet are so cold.
I'm glad I brought some sleeping socks.
Mother, these will...
warm up your feet.
Here. Now you'll feel better.
There you go.
You can stop now.
Your legs still feel stiff.
You always used to have cold hands and feet.
You can stop now.
You've lived such a busy life.
I was so fortunate to have a daughter-in-law like you.
That's not true.
I don't deserve such a compliment.
You've done enough.
No.
You've done more than enough.
Now, lay down your burden...
and live your life comfortably.
How much longer do you think I have left anyway?
With your financial difficulties...
and your handicapped husband,
I knew how tough it was for you to manage.
But I was caught up with my own issues, and pretended not to know.
I didn't want to blame my own child...
so I left you all alone...
when you didn't even have any family.
I knew how much you were suffering and aging...
while you worked in the corner of that old beauty salon.
Yes.
It was all because of my greed.
I'm sorry.
It's all right, Mother.
From now on, just think about your own life.
You deserve it.
Free yourself from...
your husband and your child and live your life.
That's the only way I can forgive myself and leave.
Mother.
Jeong Eun.
Mother.
My sweet daughter-in-law.
Mother...
No matter what you decide to do,
I'll always be on your side.
Mother...
Don't cry, sweetheart.
Don't cry.
(Divorce Agreement, Lee Dae Sang, Moon Jung Eun)
What's this?
You want a divorce?
You've put up with more than enough.
So?
You want me to ditch you and Mother because of her Alzheimer's...
so that I can live comfortably all by myself?
While putting up with people calling me a bad person?
How can you say that to someone you've lived with all your life?
Then what should I do?
My mom is one thing,
but I can't even die right now.
You're so mean!
Gosh, you're such a cruel person.
If I had planned to leave you,
I wouldn't have packed up my stuff just to unpack it...
multiple times over the years.
Your heart is more messed up than your leg is.
You always treated me like a stranger.
I got my hopes up only to be disappointed over and over,
but I still...
Even just seeing your back lying on the bed...
teared me up every single time, but I would've lived differently.
It's not just because of you. I can't get a divorce.
Until Mother's final moments,
I'll make kimchi and side dishes and take them to her.
So from now on, don't tell me what to do.
(Happy Beauty Salon, Closed Today)
What is this? This part is wavy, but this side is all straight.
You call this a perm?
I came here to get a perm, not to ruin my hair!
On top of that, my hair is all damaged.
You seem very angry.
I'll apply a thick coat of reparative treatment for you.
I'll also see if there are any other complimentary add-ons...
I can give you.
Please calm down.
Gosh, it's so cold.
They're already selling bungeoppang on the streets.
You can have it. I have to tidy up here first.
This has custard inside.
It doesn't have red bean paste.
I guess many people dislike red beans like you do.
Try it.
Here.
Did I tell you?
A man asked me to trim his hair down to 5cm length all over,
but I thought he said 5mm and buzzed his hair off.
Seriously?
You never told me that before.
Was it just after I opened my salon?
A man came and asked me to trim his hair down to 5cm,
but I totally forgot about it.
That huge, buff guy...
with tanned skin...
got teary-eyed...
and glared at me like this.
But you know what? I didn't apologize to him,
not even once.
I kept insisting that he said 5mm, not 5cm.
Weren't you scared?
Back then,
money scared me the most.
What if he asked me to pay him back twofold?
Right.
Mother.
Thank you.
Mother, I'm here.
Mother.
The bungeoppang place in our neighborhood that you like.
They're back in business as of today.
Here, eat it before it gets cold.
You must be a hairstylist.
Sorry?
I guess your salon is very busy.
It doesn't look like you even had time to put on gloves.
You have to take care of your hands before the skin gets cracked.
It must've hurt a lot.
It must sting when it touches the water.
Go to a pharmacy and get ointment in a jar like this.
It's called Vaseline.
Apply a thick layer of it all over your hand.
Then grab a plastic bag.
Wear it on your hand before you go to bed.
That will help.
Okay, I'll do that.
I know these things because I used to run a hair salon myself.
Happy Beauty Salon by the dry cleaner's at the intersection.
That's my salon.
This bungeoppang is so good.

Do you remember anything specific about that watch?
Will retrieving memories of the watch be helpful?
- See you later. - Stop bossing me around.
- Where's Joon Ha? - Joon Ha isn't back yet?
- "Yet"? - I was released around dawn,
so I assumed he'd be back by now.
Mom keeps reacting sensitively to an old man's watch.
Where's that man?
What? He's still alive?
