[Andante]

What are you doing?

Do you want her to fail her comedian audition?

It's not that.

Hurry up.

What should I do?

Young lady, here I go.

Okay!

Oh, looks good. Okay!

Dance, dance.

It's time to dance.

I think he would do well in a comedian audition.

Really?

How exciting!

[Episode 14: The Show Must Go On!] What kind of funeral portrait is that?

You're really acting like Bong Gu lately.

Do you like Bom or Bong Gu?

There are so many hard choices in the world.

Avoid them.

Who are you going to invite to your funeral?

You've had your funeral portrait taken and have invited people.

It feels like a real funeral.

Since we're going for the real effect, let's invite your mom.

[Mom]

Can you go on ahead?

Okay.

Mom.

Why are you alone? Where's Bom?

Bom's talking to her mom on the phone.

- Really? - What about Grandma?

She's torturing Mr. Jae Woong.

Torturing?

Oh, that's great.

Oh, how refreshing.

But, you know, Grandma...

I think you can stop now.

You're complaining about having too much luxury.

Be quiet. Just go to sleep.

Okay.

- Feels great. - Grandma.

Mom wants you to see you.

Why?

I don't know.

I was dying to get up.

Your grandma has been in three times today already.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

That's what happens when you get old.

Are you feeling okay?

I feel strong when I take the painkillers.

But, I'm like a corpse when they wear off.

Oh yeah.

Did you use my 19-and-up tactic on your girlfriend?

How did you know, Mister?

I imagined it, even without seeing it.

So, what did your girlfriend say?

Were there any negative consequences?

I tried to do it.

But, I don't think it's for me.

Nonetheless, you tried.

Come on, Mister.

Can you demonstrate it for me, just once?

A demonstration? Yeah right. Why would I do that for you?

Just this once.

Am I a bank?

Did you leave money with me?

Does spending money on me feel like a waste?

If I say it's not a waste, would you believe me?

Can't you even do this for your daughter? I'm your daughter, Mom.

You're being quite ruthless, aren't you?

I give you living expenses and money for school, so what more do you need?

I know you have a boyfriend now.

It seems you have more things to spend your money on.

Child support only lasts until you're 20.

You'll have to take care of yourself after that.

I don't need it until I'm 20. I'll be dead by then.

I'll be dead from brain cancer soon!

Why do you look so unwell?

You look like a person who's dying.

This won't do.

Let's go to the hospital together.

Grandma.

We need to know what the illness is in order to treat it.

Dementia affects memories of those closest to you first.

Don't take it too personally.

It might be for the best.

Grandma doesn't have to worry about me.

Are you handling it okay?

Once I go to Seoul, I'll get treatment.

If you're in pain, don't think about anyone but yourself.

The people you leave behind will live and go on somehow.

At times, I've wished that you were my mother.

All done.

I want to make it even prettier, but it might get in the way of your work.

I'll leave it like that.

It's pretty.

I can't remember the last time I wore nail polish.

Do you believe your husband is still alive?

I don't know.

He went missing during a war on the battlefield.

And he hasn't returned in over 10 years, so how could I believe he's alive?

That would be a bit much.

Then, why haven't you said your farewells to him?

There's me, of course.

But, I can't because of my mother-in-law.

She's waited her entire life for her son to return.

To take that away from her...

She might just die.

Mom, where's Grandma?

Isn't she in her room?

- Bom, you haven't seen her, either? - No.

Oh my.

I always come to the hospice. Why would you bother bringing me here?

Shi Kyung is probably waiting for you, so you two can go to school.

I wanted to be alone with you, Grandma, so I told Shi Kyung to go on without me.

Really?

Even when you were a tiny thing, you followed me, calling out "Grandma."

Do you like your grandma that much?

Grandma, you remember me following you around when I was little?

Of course! I remember everything.

Oh dear.

What a good girl.

Good girl. Such a good girl.

It's good, isn't it?

You were a tiny little thing.

You shed so many tears because of your father.

I felt so sad for you.

You reminded me of my Shi Kyung and Shi Young.

So, I was especially fond of you.

If you think about it, it was all thanks to you

that I was able to get through that time in my life.

That's why my name is Duk Boon. (Name means "Thanks to you")

Even your name is the best.

When I think about who I'm thankful for, you're the first person I think of.

Oh, it's nothing compared to your name.

Oh, but...

what is your name?

Bom... Kim Bom.

That's right, yes!

Bom! Bom, Bom. Yes.

I...

keep forgetting things lately.

You should get going. Shi Kyung must be waiting.

Okay, I'll be back after school.

There's no need for that.

Go hang out with Shi Kyung after school.

I'm going to come back.

You have to wait for me, so we can go home together.

All right.

I'm going.

Gosh, that pretty thing.

I would love to have her as my granddaughter-in-law.

This is your funeral portrait?

Are you kidding me?

Even if it's fake, this is still a funeral.

It's a time to mourn and say goodbye to a dead person.

Saying goodbye doesn't have to be a sad thing.

Can't we do it with a smile?

For both the living and the dying, it's the last memory they'll have.

It's nice to say goodbye in a joyful way.

Like one last celebration.

I've never seen Bom talk to everyone so much.

Bom has changed lately.

No... is she becoming strange?

Oh, a last celebration. That's not a bad concept.

Yeah, I'm getting a good feeling about this.

My grandpa told me that long ago, funerals for people over 60

were like celebrations.

Bom is 18 years old.

Lee Shi Kyung, tell me this.

If Bom were to die the day after tomorrow

would you be able to look at this funeral portrait, laugh, and say goodbye?

I don't know.

I've never thought about it.

Bom!

I'll go check on her. Stay here, Shi Kyung.

Since when are Bom and Shi Young so friendly?

Bom! Bom!

Hey, what's wrong?

Lean on me. Are you okay?

Come... come here.

Shi Young. Hold on.

I'll get Doctor Lee.

Shi Young. First, turn Bom's head to the side.

Check to see if she has any food in her mouth.

It's dangerous if food gets into her airway.

There's no food.

Is there anyone around you?

- No. - That's good.

Make sure no one is around when Bom comes to, so she won't be taken aback.

Okay, I'll do that.

Bom.

Shi Young and Bom. Where did they go?

Oh, yeah. My phone.

Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?

Yes, and I'm sorry you had to see me like that.

Also, thank you.

You know, you're being too harsh.

If it were me, I would tell my family, of course.

I would also hold on to Ga Ram and cry about it.

I cried so much when I was young, so I don't like to cry.

Also, I don't have much time left. Why spend it crying?

I don't want to waste my time.

Shi Young, I think you would be a good doctor.

You have to become a good doctor.

Try again.

If you shut down the show, you'll have to give out refunds.

Try again.

If you shut down the show, there will be bad comments online.

And, the reviews will be bad.

Then, people won't come to see the show.

Try again!

Teacher, please give me my phone.

I need it, desperately.

Where have you been? I've been waiting for a long time.

- Are you okay? - What do you mean?

You looked like you were going to vomit earlier, and you ran off.

Ga Ram called, but Shi Young didn't answer her phone.

Shi Young was busy patting my back.

I must have gotten indigestion from breakfast.

Bom, is there something you're not telling me?

There's a lot I don't tell you.

Bernard, do you tell me everything about you?

Bom has definitely changed.

I don't know what it is.

What am I missing?

I just told all my secrets to my field of reeds.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I'm just so shocked.

That's how I was, at first.

I felt nothing.

I couldn't grasp the reality of it.

Now, I want to cry whenever I see Bom.

Bom was always alone before she met Shi Kyung.

She looked so strong, but something about her seemed sad.

But, she changed a lot after she met Shi Kyung.

She gets along well with everyone and laughs a lot.

It was good to see Bom overflowing with all that energy.

If we feel like this... how do you think Shi Kyung will feel?

I know.

My heart hurts so much.

All we can do right now is watch over them.

Mother, sit down if you're done.

I'll put the pot on the table.

All right.

Here.

How is it? Great, isn't it?

Yes, it's great.

Grandma, it's awesome. It's like a work of art.

Just like Grandma's the only one who doesn't know, but we all know...

is there something about Bom only I don't know?

I thought you weren't going to school.

I'm going to Seoul to see a musical.

Didn't you see this musical last time?

With a good musical, you want to see it twice.

See it twice, and you'll want to see it a third time.

Oh, really.

Bring him by if you want to see him again after seeing it three times.

It's not like that, Jung Won.

I'm going with a friend.

Seriously, you're so funny.

- Mom! - What?

Is something wrong with Grandma?

No, Bom.

Doesn't Bom seem strange lately?

Gosh, seriously.

What should we do about the flowers?

Shouldn't we use pretty flowers?

Me, me. What about me?

Any other ideas?

If Mom doesn't know, should I ask Grandma?

No, no. Grandma's answers haven't been credible lately.

Yes, I'll ask the internet.

[Frequent headaches, indigestion, anemia]

The symptoms Bom is suffering from are things that are too common.

The internet is a failure, too.

Suk Joo Yeon, what took you so long?

We've been waiting for 30 minutes.

Sorry, but I don’t want to be a part of Bom's funeral.

What did you say?

Suk Joo Yeon, give us a reason, so we can understand.

I told you that I don't like the funeral Bom came up with.

If you leave, who is going to film it?

I'll lend you the camera.

Sorry. I'm leaving.

Suk Joo Yeon.

Let's talk.

Hey, Suk Joo Yeon. You should just do it--

Never mind. Watch out for your hair.

Lee Shi Young, she knows something.

Do whatever you want. I'll stay out of it.

You like Lee Shi Kyung, don't you?

No, I don't like Lee Shi Kyung.

Then, why did you create that incident on the roof before?

How did you know about that?

Did Ji Hye tell you, by chance?

Yes, I like Lee Shi Kyung.

If it weren't for you, I would've told Shi Kyung I liked him.

What does this have to do with me liking Shi Kyung?

What was that about?

Ma'am...

Bom.

Bom.

Over here!

Bom!

You know something, don't you?

What?

You know something! What are you hiding from me?

Why would I be hiding anything from you?

Bom's been acting strange lately.

It's strange that she's been sick so often

and that she keeps talking about things as if it's for the last time.

Even the funeral--

It can't be.

Lee Shi Kyung, how could you think that?

She's just working hard on it.

Right? Bom's not very sick or anything, is she?

[Mom]

Hello.

Isn't this Bom's phone?

Bom left for a moment.

Aren't you Bom's boyfriend, the one I spoke to last time?

Yes.

I called you earlier.

Your phone was turned off, so I called Bom.

Do you know where your mother is?

My mom is probably at the hospice.

Why do you need my mom?

We were supposed to meet, but she's late, and I can't reach her.

If you happen to see her, tell her I'm waiting in a cafe.

- Okay. - Ah...

Also...

Are you Bom's mother?

You're very late.

I'm sorry.

Bom suddenly fainted.

Is Bom okay?

It's just as I thought.

You didn't come to take Bom to Seoul for chemotherapy, did you?

What do you mean?

Bom is very sick right now.

By any chance... is it brain cancer?

You know?

I thought she just said that because she hates me.

That's how her father died.

And now, it happening to Bom too.

We could have tried treating it if we had known earlier.

Unfortunately, we were too late.

Are you criticizing me for not finding it earlier?

No, that's not it.

I did what I could.

The pregnancy was an accident, and I ended up marrying a man I didn't love.

I spent a hellish few years with him.

When I decided to divorce him, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

So, I spent another few hellish years with him.

Whenever I see Bom's face, I am reminded of the man who took my youth.

I couldn't bear it.

That's why I live apart from Bom.

Still, I did everything I could for her.

I did what I could.

I contacted you because...

you're a fellow mother.

I thought you would be heartbroken if you found out after Bom passed away.

Now having met you, I see I was worried for nothing.

Until the last moment of Bom's life, I'll be the one to protect her.

Shi Kyung!

Shi Kyung!

[Restricted Access]

Lee Shi Kyung.

You can't just come in this room. Get out.

What is this?

Is this a dream?

She took a sedative and is asleep.

Her condition is rapidly getting worse. I'm worried.

I'm dreaming right now, right?

Shi Kyung.

Mom... please wake me up.

Tell me this is a dream.

Shi Kyung.

Bom asked us not to tell you.

I had no choice.

Mom, I asked you to wake me up.

I was worried that you would have a difficult time, too.

If Bom had seen you upset

her symptoms might have gotten worse.

What have I been doing all this time?

Bom was dying by my side, and I didn't even know.

I stupidly asked her to go with me to the Grand Canyon.

Shi Kyung.

What is it? Is something wrong?

- Vice-Principal. - Yes?

I don't mind not going to the Grand Canyon.

Can you save Bom?

Why? Is Bom very sick?

Bom has brain cancer.

If I could just save Bom...

I would bring you a hundred cacti.

No, I would bring you 1,000 or 10,000.

What do I do about Bom?

My Bom isn't even 20 years old yet!

Can you do it?

Aren't you Bom's mother?

You're here to see Bom, right?

Since you're here, go inside and see her.

No, what right do I have now?

Don't tell Bom that I came by.

Where's Shi Kyung?

He's still inside.

You're awake?

Where's Shi Kyung?

Shi Kyung left a little while ago, and Bom is still asleep.

Bom must not know that Shi Kyung found out.

I think Shi Kyung left before Bom woke up on purpose.

- On purpose? - Yes.

He left his alter ego behind instead.

Eom Yong Gi!

Oh, you know how to play "Chopsticks"?

I'm not that good at it yet.

I've only just started practicing.

Wow, Eom Yong Gi.

Piano suits you really well.

Our Yong Gi is really good at singing.

Teacher Oh is always complimenting you.

I heard you got a 100 on your music assessment exam.

I need to practice, so can you leave?

Yes, of course. Practice.

Teacher Oh, why don't we step out and let Yong Gi practice?

Should we?

Not Teacher Oh! She has to give me lessons.

That's true. I do have to give him lessons.

You two should try playing together.

What?

Me too?

"Chopsticks" should be played by two people. You two should play together.

I'll see who's worse.

Of course, I'm better than Yong Gi.

From what I just saw, he's a total beginner.

Then, why don't you come on and play?

I'm in. Let's give it a go.

Okay, then. Start.

I assume you have the right answer this time.

Yes.

Really?

Then let's hear it.

Why must the show go on?

Oh, you got your phone back.

What did you say to the student dean?

I just took my phone and ran.

Too bad I missed that. You should've taken me with you.

You should've seen his face.

Where are you now?

Now? The hospital.

Hospital?

I wanted to be diligent and get treatment for anemia and vomiting.

It's too stuffy here. I don't think I can do it.

Diligence just doesn't suit me.

The same way studying doesn't suit me.

Yes, that's why we must suit each other, right?

Yes.

Bernard, do you want to go on a trip?

Trip?

You did say this was not much of a school break.

The two of us should have total freedom and go on a trip.

Okay, let's go. Where should we go?

The performer who must make the audience laugh...

cannot cry even if a family member dies.

No, in fact, he must stand on stage and still make the audience laugh.

- Wow! - Wow!

If he can make the audience happy...

If he is to be a source of comfort to the audience for even one moment...

the performer must go on with the show.

Shi Kyung.

I like you.

A lot.

Me too.

Wait... that's it?

I asked you to date me first and said I liked you first.

Lee Shi Kyung, what am I to you...

What is this?

Isn't this Bom?

What is with her hair?

What is she wearing on her head?

I heard about the living funeral.

Still, this funeral portrait is a bit much.

Bom wanted to do it that way.

It's just like Bom.

Living funeral? What is that?

At school, they told us to hold a fake funeral.

It's just for fun.

You should come too. Bom wants many people there.

What nonsense.

Look at this crazy girl.

Grandma must have forgotten that Bom is sick.

That could be a relief.

Where is Bom now?

Is she going back and forth to Seoul?

Huh... yes.

Still, it is a funeral. Shouldn't we have chrysanthemums?

Didn't you see Bom's funeral portrait? Chrysanthemums wouldn't suit it.

It would be good to know what kind of flowers Bom likes.

Her name means spring, so forsythia, azaleas, or magnolias.

- I'll ask. - Okay.

Hey, you said you're not even coming, but you're working awfully hard.

I'm still the class president.

The line is busy.

I better ask Shi Kyung.

Bom's favorite flower?

Let me think. I don't really know.

Ah, why don't we just do this?

I have a favor to ask.

Mom, can you come pick me up?

But, don't just come pick me up.

I know it might be hard.

But, can you pick me up with a smile?

I know. I'm sorry.

But, this...

might be the last favor I ask of you.

What are you saying?

Does that make any sense?

Then, what is everyone here supposed to do?

You made this decision all on your own.

How do I look?

Do you have a cold?

You kicked your blanket off while you were sleeping, didn't you?

No, no.

Gosh, seriously...

I knew you would wear dark colors, Bernard.

Here.

What I want my boyfriend to wear to my funeral.

I paid a lot for it. Try it on.

We look too good to be called Bernard and Bong Gu.

Right?

Bernard has always looked this way.

Bong Gu, you clean up nicely.

This...

When else will we exchange rings like this?

Pretty, fake rings like this...

Here.

Bong Gu, you must be mistaken about something.

Today is not a day to exchange vows. It's your funeral.

I know.

Don't forget...

this moment.

Come here.

Repeat after me.

Swag.

You want me to do that?

Hurry up. Swag...

- Swag. - Do it again.

Swag.

- Swag, swag, swag! - That's good.

Not that.

Suk Joo Yeon.

You said you weren't coming.

I came to give you this.

It's pretty.

Did you make it?

Shi Kyung asked me to make it like this.

He asked me to use various flowers, if possible.

Really?

You have many faces. It's fitting that you should have various flowers.

It's pretty.

Thank you.

You're not coming to the funeral then?

What was it you wanted to tell me last time?

Class President, what are you doing here?

You came anyway.

By any chance, do you...

This funeral isn't fake.

No... it is fake.

It is a happy, fake funeral.

We have to do what the star of the funeral wants.

No, I don't think I can.

How can I?

Bom, Bom, Bom is here.

In the image we first knew her

that same fragrance is there.

The place where you sat.

The bench and tree next to it.

It still sits where it used to be.

We thought we would forget throughout our lives.

We knew we should not say such things.

My dear, the first time I saw you

I knew right away.

Gaon High School, junior year class 2.

Many thanks to everyone here at Kim Bom's living funeral.

While preparing for this funeral...

I thought a lot about what it meant to face death in a good way.

I do not have a tomorrow.

Not having a tomorrow...

means being unable to do the thing my friend Lee Shi Kyung loves most.

What's that?

Procrastinating by pushing today's task off until tomorrow.

Since there is no tomorrow...

an amazing thing I never imagined occurred.

Today became so precious.

So, this moment now...

is the most precious moment in my entire life.

Everything you all have given me...

I thank you and accept it with gratitude.

Right now, Bom...

Also...

if there is anything I have

I want to give it to you all before I go.

Any little thing I have

even a small sentiment or feeling, I give it all.

is doing a real funeral.

Lastly, I'll say goodbye with a phrase I heard once.

Death... is the end of life.

It is not the end of a relationship.

Thank you.

Good job, Bom.

Good work!

No.

I'm not ready yet.

I'm not ready for a last goodbye.

So, did you just leave without saying a word?

Bom must have thought you were being weird.

I sent her a text.

I said I had to go see you, and I left.

Mister.

What am I supposed to do now?

Bom's going to Seoul tomorrow.

Her mom's picking her up.

But, should I pretend...

I don't know until the very end and send her off the way she wants?

Or...

should I be like that woman friend of yours?

Should I go wait every day?

If it were you, Mister, what would you want your loved one to do?

Goodness.

I'm just an ignorant guy.

You can't ask a hard question like that and expect an answer.

Even you don't know, so who would?

You have to decide.
