(Episode 3)

Let's talk next time.

I have someplace to be.

Do you want to move in with me?

What?

Come this way.

(Eom Postpartum Care Center)

Move in with you?

Did I hear that wrong?

You heard it right.

Gang Se.

You said marriage is too complicated,

but living together is fine.

When did I ever?

Don't you remember the freshman welcome party?

That was ages ago.

Did you change your mind?

Not exactly,

but we're not even anything.

Oh...

- I mean... - You can live with any woman?

You're not just any woman.

You wanted to give up being the breadwinner.

Didn't that mean you want to move out?

That's why I said it.

That's...

That's not something to talk about here.

I'll tell you later.

I have an errand to run now.

(Premium Korean Beef)

Premium Korean Beef?

Must've cost a fortune.

Do you even know who sent this?

Heard he rolled up in a big car, grabbed the mic,

and caused a scene.

Ms. Cha, the realtor, already spilled the beans.

Of all places, why was the loudest speaker there?

Who is he? Since when?

You know Ms. Oh, right?

She nagged me for months to meet this guy.

So I went out with him twice, that's all.

So, this punk... I mean,

this guy, what does he do?

He's a building owner,

divorced,

and the same age as me.

Same age?

Same zodiac year.

Are you sure he's divorced?

These days, even people with a tiny store...

pretend to be landlords.

Shouldn't you ask if he's got a decent personality first?

That's a given.

At your age, if you want to get married again,

money is everything.

But he's ugly.

- Hey. - It hurts.

You're still hung up on looks?

Grow up already.

He brought divorce papers,

building registration, and what was it?

Anyway, he brought it all on the first day.

People can forge anything these days if they pay enough.

Here we go again.

You really know how to ruin the mood.

You weren't fooled only once, were you?

Those guys were handsome.

Look at your standards. Geez.

So what are you going to do?

I'm thinking of going out with him a few more times.

Don't tell Marie.

But we're not even anything.

I mean...

You can live with any woman?

I should have confessed my feelings first.

Did I get rejected even before I did?

You idiot.

Do you want to move in with me?

But now you're not even texting me?

(Senior Lee Gang Se)

I've already got my dad issues piled up.

You don't have to add to it, do you?

(Eom Hospital)

Marie is doing her internship at her own school, right?

I don't know.

How do you not know?

I didn't know she applied to med school until she got in.

You're her mom.

I can't even handle the mom thing properly,

so I don't want to add nagging to it.

Technically, I'm her senior.

It would've been good if she'd discussed it with me.

Kids these days can handle themselves just fine.

Is that why you called me here?

Hankuk University Hospital is her campus, so it's the best.

If not, a local public university hospital would also be okay too.

I'll talk to her.

- Can I go now? - Sure.

- Why not here? - Sorry?

I thought you would tell her to work here.

Big hospital, great facilities,

and with you here too.

What better conditions could there be?

Why would I be a good condition?

Having me here could be a burden for Marie.

What kind of burden?

I don't really see.

(Director, Eom Ki Bun)

Sunken eyes.

Eye bags all the way down to the chin.

Hey.

I haven't been sleeping.

Just meet him.

I'll zip my mouth shut.

I'll say, "Marie never met her dad."

Then there's nothing to worry about.

Is there another problem?

- Studying abroad. - Studying abroad?

So your dad coming here is about that?

He didn't say it outright,

but I think so.

What kind of shocking news is this now?

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm not completely sure.

I don't know.

You're not fooling me.

No wonder you've been working part-time all the time lately.

Knowing Marie, she'll have enough saved before she goes.

You're preparing for it, right?

But Marie, I'm An Soo Sun.

Though I learned about dating on YouTube,

my instincts are sharp.

What are you trying to say?

Besides your dad and studying abroad,

you've got something else, right?

You're full of worries, but your face looks bright.

Spit it out.

What are you talking about? Spit what?

My head is a complete mess right now.

She's definitely hiding something.

Maybe I should prepare to study abroad too.

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get.

"Send Marie to Eom Hospital. I'll take full responsibility."

That's what she should've said.

Aunt Ki Bun, you've been comfortable till now.

Just wait and see if I sit still.

"Kang Min Bo?"

The Kang Min Bo?

(To Kang Marie)

Congratulations on your graduation.

Wishing you a great start as a doctor.

From Dad.

What in the...

How could this...

Check vitals every four hours and report.

- Yes, ma'am. - And delay Mr. Kim's discharge.

Okay.

Hey.

Kang Marie.

What is she doing right now?

What are you doing?

- You saw it too, Director. - So what?

- It's Marie. - What about Marie?

Who's the attending for the next patient?

It's Doctor Jin.

Let's go.

- Mom? - What's wrong with you?

How could you do this?

Since when? Who started it first?

Let's talk this through...

(From Dad)

You're not even surprised.

You knew all along.

How could you do this to me?

- Let's talk somewhere else. - Right here.

- This is a hospital. - So what?

Tell me now!

- Please, stop. - Let go.

Si Ra? Hey, Si Ra.

Pediatrics is that way.

Oh...

Yes, right.

Watch the time.

Or you'll get scolded by Grandma again.

Mom.

I get it. Go.

What were you doing in front of the interns?

Why did you walk away from Marie when she was slapped?

We were making rounds!

That hardly takes a few minutes.

What's wrong with you, Doctor Jin?

It was not an appropriate situation, with so many people around.

I've noticed this for a while now.

Why are you so concerned about Marie?

That's...

Even without you meddling, there are enough people to look after her.

Do not overstep your bounds.

You may leave now.

It's because when I see Marie, I see myself.

I'm fine.

I'll come back later.

What do you mean by that?

You know how hard my life has been.

I delivered newspapers in middle school,

and in college, I worked part-time jobs until I nearly bled from my nose to study.

When I look at Marie, it reminds me of those days.

She's your grandniece.

You are generous with scholarships for others.

I'll simply help her in the ways I can.

After all, I am her uncle.

Since when?

Three years.

We have never met in person.

We only exchanged messages and photos...

You lied to me for three years?

- With Dad... - "Dad?"

Kang Marie, I told you before.

You have no father.

Does saying that make him disappear?

How can you call him dad so easily?

He's the man who abandoned us when you were seven.

He doesn't deserve to be called dad.

When we were struggling to survive, he was nowhere to be found.

Now that you're about to become a doctor, he suddenly wants to play father again?

Why are you not saying anything?

When you speak so negatively about him, what am I supposed to say?

So, you think you did the right thing?

What's so wrong about a daughter wanting to find her father?

Not every man deserves to be a father!

He abandoned us!

Did he really?

What?

Did that man say otherwise?

That he didn't abandon us?

I lost my father without even knowing why.

If you ever thought of me at all, you wouldn't have stopped me like this.

I may not have said it out loud,

but I missed him a lot.

I wanted to know why he left,

what kind of person he is.

I barely remember him,

but I still miss him.

That doesn't justify lying to me and your grandmother...

just to contact that man.

Mom.

He may have abandoned you,

but this foolish,

pathetic mother of yours...

has never abandoned you.

I never even thought about it.

That's the difference between him and me.

Mom.

Mom.

Did something happen between Si Ra and Marie?

I just saw them in the lobby, and...

That's exactly why I opposed your marriage.

All of a sudden?

What else did I ever want for you?

I only wanted someone who grew up in a normal family...

with normal parents.

Are you talking about Ki Sik?

I told you I hate people who are too cold and ruthless.

You said you liked that he was responsible,

that you felt reassured because he was your student.

Out of all my students, why did it have to be Ki Sik?

I thought you liked him more than you liked me.

Why are you like this suddenly?

Never mind.

Is he cheating on me?

It's nothing like that.

What is it, then?

All right. The sleepless nights we spent studying,

the laughter and tears in the lab, all of it is coming to an end.

We did it!

- We did it! - We did it!

And to mark this moment, here comes our senior, ready to treat us all!

- Lee Gang Se! - Lee Gang Se!

Drink as much as you want,

and wipe away every exhausting memory you have.

- Wipe away! - Wipe away!

Congratulations on becoming doctors.

And on graduating too!

- Yes! - Yes!

Good job.

Sure.

(Hankuk University Medical Students' Party)

Marie.

You didn't call. Are you avoiding me?

Why would I?

You're the one who said something strange and then never called again.

Strange?

Is that how you took it?

It was hardly a normal thing to say.

You're here now, so come on, let's go inside.

Come on.

Let's go.

Marie, you're here!

- Marie. - Marie is here!

- Hi. - Hey.

Sorry, I'm late.

There is one more thing to celebrate.

Now?

We're getting married.

- We already knew! - Come on.

Congratulations.

Congratulate us.

Let's sit.

Congratulations.

I always knew you two would be the first to get married.

Was it that obvious?

Are you kidding? We all knew already.

Really?

But what about you two?

Are you still just flirting after all this time?

Flirting? Is that what it looked like to you?

Come on. Are you serious?

Stop beating around the bush and finally make a move.

Right.

- Show us! - Show us!

Show you what? Come on.

Just drink.

Hey.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Hey, take it easy.

You're still doing that?

How can she not make one phone call when her mom left like that?

Why would you hit her?

She is about to become a doctor,

and you hit her in broad daylight in front of everyone.

What exactly were you thinking, you fool?

Why do you always take Marie's side when you don't even know the full story?

Are you playing some kind of game with her?

Is she your friend?

She's your daughter, okay?

If she were my friend, I could have cut her off.

She might still feel like a kid to you, but Marie will be thirty soon.

And at thirty, does she long for her dad's arms more than her mom's?

What nonsense are you talking about now?

What do you mean by her dad?

She has been in touch with him.

He even sent her a drawing as a graduation gift.

Why did you not tell me that?

I'm telling you now, aren't I?

Let's go.

- Where? - To Marie.

What, so you can slap the other cheek?

How could Marie possibly be in touch with that man?

- Come on. Let's go. - Do you even know where she is?

Call her again.

Seriously.

Here, have some water.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Why did you drink so much?

Gang Se, do you like me?

Is that why you wanted to move in with me?

Can you live with someone you don't even like?

Well, still...

You shouldn't have confessed like that.

What do you think of me?

I asked you to move in with me out of the blue,

but I wasn't joking.

I was even ready to get punched,

but you didn't even do that.

I don't know how you see me.

I really...

You really what?

I appreciate you.

Appreciate me?

Do you want to see...

how much I appreciate you?

Marie.

Where is it?

Here.

From the exhibition?

Do you still have this?

If you knew how special this painting is to me,

you'd be surprised.

How special is it?

Marie.

I've got a lot on my plate,

and you asked me to live with you.

Do you only...

appreciate me?

You are...

Lee Gang Se is...

a good person.

A good person?

Just a good person?

Not someone you're into?

This is nice.

I'm home.

What is that?

That's Marie.

Who drew that?

Mr. Kang?

The whole hospital went crazy over this today.

You didn't know?

No.

I went to the National Tax Service to work this morning.

What happened?

Ms. Joo found out about it,

and she got beaten up...

in the middle of the hospital.

I knew it.

This happened today, didn't it?

What? Did you know Marie was talking to her dad?

How long? How? Why?

I found out last year when I went to New York on a business trip.

You know what would happen if it got out.

How was I supposed to show that I knew about it?

What?

I thought I was the only one who knew about the secret.

Still, I have you in the palm of my hand.

Dang.

Then do you also know her dad is coming back to Korea?

He'll take her to the States...

He's coming back to Korea?

He'll take Marie with him?

That slipped out.

- Explain it to me. - Hold on.

Hello.

Yes, this is An Soo Sun, a nursing major.

Sorry? Where?

Kang Marie!

I don't even know where she lives.

Marie is pretty drunk.

I'm glad you called me.

This is so embarrassing.

Hey, wake up.

If you drink every time you're upset,

it will become a habit.

Wait. She looks like my friend.

Her name is An Soo Sun.

But unlike her name, she's quite scatterbrained.

What is she talking about? You're so wasted.

Is that your car?

Yes.

Give me a hand.

- My gosh. - In 1, 2, 3.

Thanks for taking care of her.

Hey.

Is everything okay with Marie?

Sorry?

You said she shouldn't drink whenever she's upset.

Well, it's her family matter.

I'm not sure I can tell you.

I see.

You're a good friend.

I hope things get easier for Marie.

Are you nice to all your juniors?

Or are you only nice to Marie?

Well, so...

It's too late. You should get going.

I'm going to go, then.

Here.

She reeks of alcohol.

Be careful.

Goodness.

Oh, dear.

They had a med school graduation party today.

It looks like she drank a bit.

Thanks for driving her home.

Hey, Ms. Joo.

Marie was having a hard time because of her dad.

She was really worried you'd get hurt,

so don't be too hard on her.

(Marie and Her Three Daddies)

My name is Kang Min Bo.

What you're reading is...

about azoospermia, right?

Lee Poong Ju.

It's been a while.

You've returned for good after 15 years.

How about a girlfriend? You like her,

but she hasn't told you if she likes you.

How did you know?

Don't you have a daughter?

I heard she's a doctor.

You mean you can help her open a clinic?

Dad?
