Original subtitles

Yes.

When you came over,

did you see that your dad…

was there too?

That night,

we only met because we had something to discuss.

You know how there's a lot to sort out

when one's considering a move.

You must think I'm clueless.

Do you really think you can keep fooling me?

Stop using me as an excuse.

Hearing you say that only drives me crazy.

Just stop it!

What do we do?

You should hurry and take him home.

Seon-u…

Be more attentive toward his feelings.

So that he stops hurting and is no longer in pain.

That's all I truly want.

Why are you still upset?

I took care of it all.

I don't want to hear it. Just send him back to Ji Seon-u.

Send him back to his mom.

You can't handle him.

He's Tae-oh's son.

I won't send him back to her.

Now that he's here, he's my responsibility.

But you did what you could. You've done enough.

I heard that he gets violent sometimes.

What if he hurts Jenny?

His anger got the best of him, that's all. It happened once.

All he needs is some love and support.

I know I can take care of him.

What the hell is the matter with you?

Why? Is something wrong with Da-kyung?

I didn't raise her so that she could raise another woman's child!

Unbelievable. You've got to be kidding me!

LEE JUN-YEONG

Jun-yeong.

Lee Jun-yeong.

It'll no longer be complicated.

Your mom will soon leave.

Did you two go somewhere?

Honey, could I have a moment with Jun-yeong?

Do you remember what I said when you first came to live with us?

I wanted you to be comfortable here

because seeing you happy will make your dad happy.

The adults made mistakes, and you were hurt by that.

And I'm partially responsible for what happened

which is why I'll let this incident slide.

But if something like this happens again,

I won't be so lenient.

So don't let this happen again.

If it does, it'll only hurt us all.

For the sake of your happiness too,

could you promise me that?

Sure.

Thank you.

You'll ask for permission when leaving this house from now on.

I didn't hear an answer.

Sure.

What did you talk to him about?

I told him to ask permission

when going out from now on.

Honey, do you know who Jun-yeong's friends are?

I'm not sure.

Who he meets outside and what he does in his spare time…

I think we should be more watchful of that.

Sure.

I'll ask him.

ACETAMINOPHEN

RECENT CALLS SON JE-HYUK

He's been bothering me for days now,

but he chooses today of all days not to call me.

He may have not loved me truly,

but it feels empty now that he's gone.

Ye-rim…

Is it bad? Have you eaten?

What's going on? How did you know I was sick?

Myeong-suk told me that you came by the hospital.

She told me you had painkillers prescribed.

News travels fast. That was quick of her.

You should've told me sooner.

Must I hear that you're sick from someone else?

I'll have to handle being sick alone and growing old alone now.

I should get used to it.

What's that?

Oh, this?

Is that tiramisu?

I remembered how you'd eat this when you were sick.

If I'm being honest,

it didn't immediately come to mind.

At first, I wasn't sure whether it was this…

or chocolate cake.

Anyway, have some.

Aren't you exhausted?

No, I'm happy.

Thinking about what I needed to do for you

and driving over here with this

brought me joy.

I was just happy to know I could do something for you.

-Hello. -Good morning, Dr. Seol.

Is Dr. Ji in?

No, she hasn't come in yet.

What?

Anyway, carry on.

Over here! Please help. Somebody!

Hold on.

There's something wrong with my daughter.

What's her name?

It's Park Hye-jin.

I see she's Dr. Ji's patient.

I'm afraid she already has a patient waiting.

You'll have to wait 30 minutes.

But her condition worsened after taking the medicine she prescribed.

Can't we jump the line?

The hospital isn't taking any patients yet though.

-Can I see the chart? -Here.

-What about Dr. Kim? -Dr. Kim has patients waiting as well.

What…

Hye-jin!

Do something! Can't you see she's in pain?

We have no choice. Bring her to me.

Yes, doctor. Can you help?

Sure.

Are you all right?

It's okay. One step at a time.

-What's going on? -A patient of Dr. Ji's

came in with a bad case of abdominal pain.

Unbelievable.

"Irritable bowel syndrome"?

Yes.

My gosh.

Jeez.

Gosh, Dr. Ji.

Sorry I'm late.

Check in with Dr. Seol.

It seems like one of your patients was rushed in.

It's your patient Park Hye-jin from yesterday.

She came in suffering from severe abdominal pain.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm going to give you something for the pain. Please relax.

When did the pain begin?

At dawn… It felt like my stomach was being torn apart.

The ultrasound revealed a hemorrhage.

We'll start with a CT scan of the abdomen first.

-Ms. Joo. -Yes?

-Get her a CT scan. -Yes, Dr. Seol.

-Ha-yeong. -Yes?

-Get me a wheelchair. -Got it.

I don't get it.

Why didn't you conduct an ultrasound?

Is it bad?

Stay put for now.

I'll handle the rest.

You! You said yesterday that it was irritable bowel syndrome.

Because of your misdiagnosis, my daughter could have been in danger!

How will you make up for this?

Sir, please calm down.

She isn't even married yet.

What if this leads to infertility?

What will you do then?

How will you make up for this?

-Please close the door. -Of course.

Like I said, the pain was caused from a cyst rupturing.

We'll need to keep a close eye on her,

but as of now, there hasn't been any damage to her ovary.

This won't cause infertility--

Whatever it is, it's still true that

she misdiagnosed my daughter.

Isn't it?

I'm sorry, sir.

It's hard for this to be categorized as a misdiagnosis.

If this isn't one, then what is?

A cyst ruptured which led to bleeding.

The chart says that an OB-GYN consultation was suggested.

Didn't she mention that?

No.

She didn't.

Then check with her first.

Unbelievable.

The hell we went through from dawn…

If anything bad happens to my daughter,

I'll make you pay.

I prescribed her pain killers and some antibiotics.

You can take her home once she feels better.

I'll schedule a follow-up three days from now,

but if she gets dizzy or if the pain worsens,

bring her to the hospital straight away.

If anything happens to my daughter,

I'll sue that doctor and this hospital!

You hear me?

Don't ever apologize so easily.

The moment you do, people take it as an admission of guilt.

I was wrong not to order an ultrasound.

Negligence or misdiagnosis

are all the same to them.

Don't apologize just to take the fall alone

and sit tight.

I'll take care of the rest.

Dr. Ji,

what has gotten into you recently?

I understand you taking time off work for your son,

but forgetting to check the basics on a patient's first checkup is inexcusable.

You're someone who used to diagnose underlying diseases with unknown causes.

That's why you're the most popular doctor here.

But now, you're coming in late, leaving early,

and making errors while practicing medicine.

What's gotten into you?

How is this not a problem?

I'm sorry, sir.

I admit I've been careless…

which is why I'll quit.

As the director of this hospital, I have a right to voice my concerns.

If everything I say though is met with a threat to quit,

how can I ever point out what's wrong?

I'm sorry.

Fine, I get it. How long do you need?

Two days? Will three do?

All right, I'll give you a week.

A week will be enough to sort things out, right?

I'm sorry.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

KOREAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

RESPECTED DOCTOR AWARD

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

FAMILY MEDICINE CLINIC JI SEON-U

TO MOM, JUN-YEONG

JI SEON-U

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

You should've come to me sooner.

My husband can be quite upright sometimes,

so he hates troubling people, even his family members.

I'll talk to my dad instead.

Really? Gosh, I'd appreciate that.

Mom, is that all right with you?

Of course.

We both know how your father will do anything for you.

Actually, why don't I invite your whole family over sometime?

While discussing Councilman Cha's supporters' association,

Hae-gang and Jun-yeong

can get a chance to properly bury the hatchet.

That's an amazing idea!

I see you're working extra hard to not only take care of Tae-oh,

but also your stepson.

Seeing how she embraces Jun-yeong

made me see her in a different light.

Da-kyung, you're admirable.

My daughter is still too naive and too nice for her own good.

She doesn't think that the boy is to blame

and now she's going the extra mile for him.

He's Tae-oh's son which makes him my son too.

Besides, no parent should give up on their children

without giving them a second chance.

Raising a child…

is the same as building a society.

If you only think of him as a component of your husband's life,

you'll have another thing coming.

How far are you willing to go

to take responsibility for him?

I'll raise him with love

as if he's my own.

I can't say for certain what the future holds for him,

but I'm confident enough to set an example

for those who are biased against stepfamilies.

Of course.

A woman should be the center of a household.

You have quite the caliber, don't you?

I guess I never realized it until now.

Sorry for my tardiness, everyone.

-Welcome. -Please have a seat.

Shall we head to dinner then?

I heard big news on my way over here.

Dr. Ji resigned.

There's a rumor about her leaving Gosan too.

It's great news for you, Da-kyung, isn't it?

You too, Ms. Um.

Well, it's not something we've been wanting per se,

but I guess it's good news for us.

So what did you do today?

I stayed home.

-What about the academy? -A private tutor will be hired,

so I won't have to go out.

One can say I'm grounded, right?

Okay.

I'll talk to her about it.

You're home.

I see you're having a late dinner. What about Jun-yeong?

He just finished eating and went upstairs.

Right.

Since his school's on break, we should go on a vacation.

Just the four of us including Jenny.

Someplace close.

Sounds good.

By the way,

-about Jun-yeong going out-- -That reminds me.

I found someone Jun-yeong can receive counseling from and booked a session.

-"Counseling"? -Yes.

Apparently she specializes in adolescent psychology.

She is famous for behavior therapy,

so it wasn't easy to book a session.

Must he receive treatment?

He has kleptomania, so of course.

-Not handling the problem-- -What? He'll become a thief?

I'm saying that the matter needs to be approached with caution.

Instead…

Can't you give him some time? Give him some time to breathe.

Just trust him

and wait for him to come around.

What's wrong about seeking professional help?

I've been doing a lot of research to do what's best for him--

I know that. Of course, I do, but--

Then stand with me on this.

Don't add your opinion or try to persuade me.

Just think about what's best for Jun-yeong.

Got it?

I'm sorry.

And thanks.

I should be the one taking him to the counseling sessions, right?

If Jenny causes trouble when she grows up,

I'll do the exact same thing.

One by one,

everything is finding its rightful place.

Our life will only be perfect from here on out.

Right? Here you go.

Got it.

How is it going? Good?

Can I trust you with that? Hello, sir.

Let me know of the progress then.

FAMILY MEDICINE CLINIC JI SEON-U

Here, look.

Your brother's going out.

Bye!

Jenny, how sweet of you to wave.

Jun-yeong, how was your week?

Have you been angry or sad?

Yes.

Could you perhaps tell me what made you feel that way?

Come in.

You're here.

Myeong-suk.

Oh, hey.

JI SEON-U

You're here.

You've got something here.

-Shall we? -Sure.

Thank you.

It sure feels good to eat spicy food.

Where could she be? She's gone completely off the grid.

She probably went to get some fresh air.

Quitting her job must've been quite upsetting.

Why would it be upsetting?

I thought she was going to move anyway.

That bastard would be upset though.

Who?

Lee Tae-oh?

Yes.

That's what it seemed like to me.

It's over between them, so that's ridiculous.

You just don't know how men are.

Another woman attracts your attention even when you have company

and you're constantly reminded of the woman you were once involved with.

That's how men are.

Not me though.

I'm not like that.

I was talking about Tae-oh. Just him.

Damn.

Hasn't your mom called?

No.

Perhaps you didn't pick up.

That's not the case.

DOLBOM NURSING HOME

-Hello. -Hello.

Here.

You didn't get back to me about the job opening I mentioned,

so what brings you by unannounced?

To get some fresh air.

I quit the hospital, you see.

So are you off to Busan then?

Is that what you agreed upon?

No.

For the time being, I'm taking a break.

Why did you come to me of all people though?

There are decent psychiatrists to see in your vicinity.

It's time for my rounds, so what will it be?

Go ahead. I have nowhere to be anyway.

All right. We'll catch up later on.

Just don't suggest we get a drink.

You must've really quit.

Of course, I did.

Go ahead without me.

-Sure. -Sure thing.

Unbelievable. How did you know she'd come here?

Well, it's a relief.

How does she seem?

She's sullen, of course.

It seems like she's here to clear her head.

If you're that worried, why don't you come here yourself?

She probably wants to be alone,

so who am I to disrupt her peace?

All right. I'll call if anything happens.

What?

You want me as the associate director?

There's no reason to leave the position open anymore.

The chairman and I came to an agreement.

Why? Can't you handle it?

If not, let me know so that I can take it back.

On the contrary.

I know I can do the job better than anyone.

Thank you…

for believing in me, sir.

Just so you know, I personally persuaded the chairman.

If you cause any trouble,

I'll be held accountable for your actions too.

I'll do my best

to make sure that never happens.

By the way, what will you do about Dr. Ji?

What else can I do when she just left like that?

And it's not like we can let go of our most popular doctor.

We all know of her talent

which is why even the chairman can't decide to let her go.

Let's give it a few more days.

JI SEON-U

Father.

What brings you by?

I was passing by, so I thought I'd come in.

Anyway, I agreed

to write a donation agreement with Family Love Hospital,

so meet with Director Gong when you can

and finalize the deal.

Sure.

I thought it'd take a while,

but you were able to deal with it quickly.

Good job.

There's no need to see me out. Go back to work.

Seon-u?

It's been a few days since she handed in her resignation.

So?

Where is she now then?

How should I know?

Why are you asking about her though?

Hello?

Hello?

What are you doing here?

Is Seon-u…

not home right now?

Why do you ask?

Do you know where she went?

Haven't you done enough to each other?

You brought her enough pain

and even won Jun-yeong in the end,

so what more can you possibly want?

Once and for all,

let Seon-u go.

Tae-oh.

Have you been listening?

What?

We're having dinner with Councilman Cha's family tomorrow.

Mom and Dad will join us too.

Right, of course.

My dad hates sponsoring politicians,

but he's doing this for you and Jun-yeong's sake,

so talk it over well with Councilman Cha.

Of course.

I'll wash up then.

Sure.

LEE TAE-OH

23 MISSED CALLS FROM LEE TAE-OH

POWER OFF

How did I ruin everything I worked so hard for?

My family,

my husband, my son, all of it.

I lost everything…

that I wanted to protect in my life.

What do you mean by "protect"?

Obsession can be poison, you know.

It also applies to the relationship between parent and child.

I'm done being greedy about keeping him at my side.

I've accepted the fact that he wants to live with his father.

What I can't stand

is that my son hates me.

I would do practically anything

to have him hate me less.

I doubt there's a way though.

Wanting him to understand you after inflicting such pain on him?

That's more than being greedy, don't you think?

Whether it's hate or resentment,

you should respect how Jun-yeong feels about you.

Over time,

it'll get better.

Was time the solution in your case too?

Time may pass, but it won't wash the pain away.

You know it all too well.

Life is never just sweet.

We all just bear what we can and keep going.

Then, now and again, we're met with a ray of sunshine.

And so time passes once again.

I'm too exhausted to keep going though.

I feel like

their lives will be better with me gone.

For me, Jun-yeong,

and Tae-oh.

But I already apologized.

Why must I go back to being friends with that jerk?

This is annoying as hell.

I'm not saying you should force it.

You need to see him at school for another year,

so it'll be better to be on good terms.

Just for today at least,

don't rock the boat.

Da-kyung invited them over for your sake.

We referred to the former documents as templates

and came up with a draft on our end first.

DONATION AGREEMENT FOR DB AND SYSTEM SUPPORT

At first,

I thought you were asking the impossible,

but it turns out that you are a man with foresight.

Dr. Ji has had a lot of issues lately.

If she had still been the associate director,

it would've made things difficult for our hospital.

What about the agreement ceremony?

I'm sure you already have a plan.

Actually,

I don't.

We're only a small regional hospital,

but TO Pictures is known everywhere in the country.

How you promote this must be carefully designed.

By having the ceremony filmed and aired on a local TV network

will help both TO Pictures and our hospital.

I'll have our PR team contact yours to discuss the details.

You're probably busy,

so I should get going.

Of course. I'm sure you're busy too.

JI SEON-U

Seon-u,

where are you?

Are you all right?

Oh, the female guest from yesterday?

She paid in advance saying she'd stay for a few days,

but left at the crack of dawn.

What? When exactly?

I'm not sure. Around 6 a.m. maybe?

She probably went to see the sunrise.

Why do you ask though?

Is there some sort of issue?

No, of course not.

Thanks anyway.

I'm too exhausted to keep going though.

I feel like

their lives will be better with me gone.

Seon-u…

She's okay, right?

I sense something odd with that tone of yours.

Why? Do you feel bad now that

she's actually gone?

Do you know where she is?

Someone did notify me of her whereabouts.

Why?

-Should I tell you? -Of course not.

I'm glad she's okay.

Did something happen between you two?

While dealing with Jun-yeong's issues,

she had to go through quite a heartache.

She said she was leaving,

but I didn't expect her to suddenly quit and disappear.

I admit it worries me.

The last thing I want

is for anything to happen to her.

She'll be fine, right?

Dr. Ji disappeared?

I really hope that I'm overreacting,

but the circumstances point to something bad.

I have a bad feeling about this.

I'm worried.

So what now, Dr. Kim?

Please cancel the rest of my appointments.

-Sorry? -I'm sorry, but this is urgent.

Can you please call them and let them know?

Say that I'll contact them when I can.

Dr. Kim, what's wrong?

Dr. Ma just called. Dr. Ji…

Did something happen to Seon-u?

Where is she right now?

Where?

-Tae-oh, please-- -Where is she right now?

CALLING DR. MA

I don't see her here.

Whether that's a good thing or not

is still up for debate though.

I'll keep looking too.

What…

Dr. Ji?

Dr. Ji!

Seon-u!

Seon-u!

Their poor daughter is all alone now.

How can something like this happen?

How can they have left her to cope with everything by herself?

Things were in shambles

after her mom found out about her dad's affair.

This wasn't an accident.

It was an act of suicide.

She killed herself because her husband cheated on her?

I know she must've felt betrayed but…

Tell me about it. This is murder-suicide for sure.

How can one be so cruel?

How could she do that and abandon her child?

Some parent she was.

How can she leave her daughter like this?

Seon-u…

Seon-u.

Seon-u!

Wake up!

Seon-u.

Please wake up!

Seon-u!

Are you all right?

You're all right now.

Are you all right?

Let me see you.

Cry. Cry your heart out.

Cry all you want.

Tae-oh's son has begun his sessions with a therapist.

I don't know if that'll do any good though.

Da-kyung's trying her best,

so all we can do is hope for the best too.

Of course. I guess you're right.

I never understood why she bothered with the boy,

but seeing how it removed Ji Seon-u from the picture

made me think that Da-kyung made a wise choice.

But then again, seeing her trying to do right by her stepson

infuriates me to the core.

I can't even tell what's good or bad

for her anymore.

We'll be late.

If you're ready, we should go.

Are we ready for our guests?

Yes, Ms. Yeo.

HUSBAND

For a second there, I thought you'd be late.

We still have time, right?

I'll go and wash up.

I laid out your clothes for this evening.

You can change into those.

Jun-yeong, are you ready?

My mom and dad are kind people, you know.

There's no need to be nervous.

Just remember to be polite to your elders.

Jun-yeong.

We're really a family now.

You know what I mean, right?

-Please enjoy. -Sure.

Da-kyung, it must've been hard to prepare all this.

It was nothing.

Jun-yeong, Hae-gang,

they say

that kids grow up arguing.

That's actually a lie.

Making up after arguments and fights

is how you grow up to be tall as your fathers.

You couldn't be more right, sir. Boys become better friends

through a couple of shouting matches.

I appreciate your wisdom.

Anyway, Mr. Yeo, thank you for taking the time to invite us to dinner.

-We're grateful. -Thank you, sir.

How about we raise our glasses to wish them a better friendship?

Sounds good.

For Jun-yeong and Hae-gang's friendship. Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

My gosh, Ms. Um. This wine tastes amazing.

It does, doesn't it?

This actually reminds me of the new wine bar that opened

-in the building at the town entrance. -Really?

You know it too, right?

My friend Sang-hyeon is the head of the shopping district association.

He's the owner of that wine bar.

I'd love to take you there someday.

I don't know if I lucked out in the friendship department

or the fatherhood department,

but I'm honored to have the greatest sponsor in Gosan.

Let's just say that you lucked out in both areas.

Since I am sponsoring you now,

I'll hope for you to win, Councilman Cha.

Thank you, sir.

I'll do my best.

Thank you.

Is the groundbreaking ceremony well on its way?

Of course.

Well, that's more up to the workers to do their jobs now.

So when will the next movie come out?

Isn't it time you released another box-office hit?

I'm working on one.

That's odd. The nanny should be with her.

Excuse me for a second.

Are you all right?

What the hell did you do?

I'm sorry, Ms. Yeo. I only left her for a second.

Please get her out of here.

What did you do to Jenny?

I didn't do anything.

-Jenny was playing and-- -Did you hit her?

I gave you everything.

You have enough.

Isn't it about time you got your act together?

Couldn't this dinner at least go by in peace?

What is the matter with you?

What on earth did I do wrong?

Jun-yeong, that's enough.

I didn't do anything.

She fell while playing by herself, that's all.

What are you accusing me of?

We have guests downstairs, so stop it!

How patient must I be with you?

How much must I bear for you?

I never asked you to do anything for me!

Tae-oh!

Be more attentive

toward his feelings.

So that he stops hurting

and is no longer in pain.

That's all

I truly want.

You brat.

Get your act together.

How many more people must sacrifice for you?

How much do we need to suffer for your sake?

Da-kyung, what's going on?

Please finish…

your dinner.

Tae-oh?

Mom…

Mom…

MOM

Jun-yeong,

it's Mom.

Are you there?

Is something wrong?

Mom…

I'm sorry to ask,

but can you come for me?

DOLBOM NURSING HOME

Dr. Ji?

See? What did I tell you?

This is why you should never take in other people's children.

Why waste your energy on something so futile?

Da-kyung.

What is it that's making you feel

so nervous?

Ms. Um.

My gosh.

Is she insane? How dare she come here.

Wait. I thought she had left Gosan.

No, don't deal with her.

Just make her leave.

FRONT DOOR SPEAKER

What do you want?

I'm here for Jun-yeong.

This is out of the blue.

Tae-oh didn't tell me about this.

Jun-yeong, come out right now.

Jun-yeong.

Lee Jun-yeong, stop right there!

Get back to your room.

Go to your room right now!

Da-kyung, stop.

Let me go.

Just let him go!

Dad, don't let him leave.

-That crazy woman must leave. -Let him go!

Let go of me!

But I tried so hard.

I gave it my all.

You know that, Dad.

Yes, I do.

It was almost complete.

I can't let her destroy everything!

Da-kyung!

Come here.

Sorry.

I took a while, didn't I?

Mom, let's get out of here.

Sure, let's go.

I told you to stop!

Wait for me in the car.

What's your problem?

Isn't it easier for you

to have Jun-yeong stay with me?

Does Tae-oh know about this?

We agreed

that Jun-yeong was free to come home

whenever he wanted to.

Your obsession…

is what's ruining your son.

For how much longer must he live in confusion?

He was starting to have a stabler life.

Rather than being with an unstable mother,

he's better off being with a normal family.

Can't you be rational about this?

You're the one obsessing over him.

Because this is what's best for Jun-yeong.

Even I'm exhausted from you and Tae-oh's constant quarreling,

so I can't imagine how it is for him.

Besides,

you're not mentally well.

You can't properly raise Jun-yeong alone.

I'm the one who stopped the school violence committee from having a hearing.

Remember that?

Let's be honest, shall we?

This wasn't for Jun-yeong.

Your goal has always been to save your marriage and family.

You were anxious because you saw that

Tae-oh was having doubts.

I understand how desperate you were to keep your family together.

That used to be me once.

But you know what?

That desperation you're feeling?

It means nothing.

Marriage and married couples…

get rocked back and forth and torn apart

over what might seem so hilariously meaningless.

So what?

That's not the case for me.

You probably know better

since you've been in my shoes.

What do you mean by that?

Tae-oh…

slept with me.

Can we just leave to a place where no one knows us?

Tae-oh will have a hard time getting over Seon-u.

What makes you so confident to say that to me?

Think about it carefully.

This might be your last chance

to free yourself from him.

You said it was a mistake.

Do you still have feelings for me?

Think about the stuff you did before you start blaming it on others.

There was only one thing I wanted from you.

All you had to do was make my daughter happy.

We promised to overcome this together. You can't suddenly do this to us.

She wasn't the one who was delusional.

It was me all along.

Now, I finally get it.
