Ui Jun.

Ui Jun!

I don't want to lose you.

I really...

don't want to lose you.

Seo Ui Jun!

Ui Jun!

Ui Jun...

Ui Jun!

That was a dream...

Why am I here?

(Daecheon Beach)

Daecheon?

Let's go to Ui Jun.

Wait, wait.

- Daecheon... - Okay.

(Daecheon)

Did I just come to Daecheon, not Bochun?

Geez! I can't believe this, you crazy bitch!

(Missed Calls)

Did you get home okay yesterday?

You didn't go see Seo Ui Jun in your state, did you?

You didn't get dumped the moment you started, did you?

(Ui Jun)

What do I do...

Yes, Ui Jun.

Yes, Geum Ju.

Where are you?

Where else? I'm at Mi Yeon's.

Did you sleep well?

You got off work late last night, huh?

- You must be tired. - I'm okay.

I'd better get ready and go to work.

Okay, then!

Sure, thanks. Call you later.

I'm sorry.

(Second Shot at Love)

(Episode 9: Please Take Care of Mom)

Do you feel better now?

Yes, the broth was a work of art.

Hangover gone.

I'm so glad.

Did you go wrestling this morning or something?

- So much sand on the floor... - Oh, my.

I'm sorry.

Is there a sauna nearby?

(Daecheon Sauna)

Oh, my gosh!

Gosh, so refreshing.

How many hours did I just sleep?

Where's my cell phone?

Ma'am, I think I left my cell phone here.

Over there.

Ui Jun.

How did you get here?

How? He rushed right over

when he heard you left your phone.

I figured you'd come looking for it if I waited here.

Your boyfriend was very worried.

- Why? - I told him

you got drunk last night and had your hangover cure here.

What happened?

So, something inevitable happened...

I didn't drink because I wanted to...

I-I didn't come here because I wanted to, either.

Just a second.

Hey, have you seen the news?

Chief Kim is screwed!

(Night News)

(Shocking news that drunk driver is MFH Motors Executive)

Last night, a swerving vehicle

suddenly drives onto the pedestrian walkway.

A drunk driver caught at the scene in a state of intoxication

severe enough to revoke his license.

Shockingly, he's been revealed to be Chief Kim, an executive

at a global automobile company.

He was immediately fired.

His investors pulled out, and his new company's about to go down.

What?

What? A drinking contest?

That's why you drank?

I didn't want to drink again after what it took to quit.

But...

I just wanted to stop him from blocking my promotion.

I was desperate.

To tell you the truth,

I had been denied a promotion.

Because I was about to get married.

What?

I wanted to return and reclaim my place.

I told myself I would never let them treat me unfairly.

I will swiftly climb the ladder

and make sure my juniors don't get

discriminated against as I did.

To think that he could destroy all that drove me crazy.

I told myself that this was the final hurdle.

I was focused on getting it over with.

I'm speechless.

I get it.

I get why you're speechless.

Not you. Chief Kim.

He's way worse than I thought.

Right?

Karma's a bitch, ain't it?

For sure.

He dug his own grave.

He sure did!

All that for booze?

You're thinking, who am I to say that, huh?

I guess sobriety and I just don't go together.

Don't say that.

Not a single one of my patients

ever succeeded at quitting in one go.

Everyone slips and struggles.

But the ones who don't give up all get there eventually.

Do you think I can, too?

I told you.

You don't quit alcohol. You hold out.

You just have to hold out again starting today.

But this time, let's succeed.

So, this never happens again.

I'm sorry.

I won't drink again.

I promise.

I'll even write a pledge, okay?

I'm serious.

This is for you, Geum Ju. Okay?

All right.

I'll do it right for myself.

Don't you need to go? You have to see patients.

Didn't I tell you that a new doctor is on duty starting today?

I'm off till the weekend.

Oh, right.

You'll get even busier after this promotion.

Since you already took the day off,

why don't you hang out with me, Manager Han Geum Ju?

Now, that is an excellent suggestion.

Get moving!

I'm glad we're doing this.

Watch out!

Done. Repair complete.

You really are Bochun's mechanical genius.

Makes me think of the olden days.

Really brings back fond memories.

Fond memories? It brings me rage.

Don't you remember? You would call me

Bochun's dummy, not genius.

Along with a jingle and a gesture.

Good thing only the bike broke.

What if you broke, too?

I had a bad dream last night.

Of course, this was bound to happen today.

What dream?

Ui Jun.

Seo Ui Jun!

Forget it.

Just be careful, okay?

From now on, never look back when you're on a bike.

Got it?

What if I can't help but look?

Huh?

I can't stop looking at you.

Come on.

I think this is what it means to like someone.

I just can't take my eyes off you.

Even with the ocean right in front of me,

no, even if the views were more breathtaking than this,

none of it matters.

I only see you.

Come on! I'm going to melt away.

Geum Ju.

When did they stick these on?

You didn't forget today's date, right?

Get ready for round two!

I must be going mad.

I really must be.

That's not why you went.

Get a grip. Okay?

You must shut this down firmly.

Got that, Han Hyeon Ju?

(Bochun Smile Taxi)

- Noona! - I'm sorry I'm late.

Let's sit down for tea and talk...

Talk later. We're running late.

Hey, where are we going?

Hurry, hurry!

What do you think, Noona?

Killer, right?

Yes. It is.

Are you okay?

Yeah...

That bike...

It's okay. I'm fine.

But don't they look like Geum Ju and Ui Jun?

No way. Why would they be here at this hour?

Unni.

Hey.

Seon Uk.

Wait, what are you two doing here?

I took the day off, and he's off, too.

We're on a date.

But what about you two? Why are you here?

Oh, well, t-that's...

Site visit for a field trip.

We'll bring the kids here soon on a field trip.

I asked her to join me

on this scout as a parent rep.

Right, Noona?

Yeah.

Oh, really?

You enjoy your date. We'll do our thing.

No need. We're not strangers.

Let's get some food before parting ways.

Oh, right, Geum Ju.

Remember that thing you were going to tell me...

Come on.

- What? - Read the room.

I'm sure Ui Jun wants to spend time with you alone.

Look at him. He's not saying a word,

just searching for date spots.

What about this spot? It's supposed to be a hot spot.

Why don't we have lunch together?

See? We're so in sync.

How did you know I was craving steamed clam?

Speak properly. Your tongue-

You understand, don't you?

You understand what I'm saying?

No.

You got promoted?

Wow, the fortune teller is legit.

She said you'll enter a lucky streak,

and that came true.

Totally. Congratulations, Geum Ju.

- Thanks. - This calls for a celebratory drink.

Honestly, I didn't think you'd become completely sober.

I figured you'd have a drink once in a while,

or slip up at least once.

Mad respect.

She follows through when she sets her mind to it.

I know.

That must be how she bagged that promotion.

All right, enough about Geum Ju.

Let's talk about you.

Who's your crush?

Who is it that you're keeping it such a secret?

Yeah, who is it?

Tell us. Is she a celebrity or something?

You're scared you'll get on Dispatch?

She's way prettier than any celebrity

and she needs way more protection.

- What? - Who is it?

Do we know them or not?

- Just tell us that. - Yeah.

I told you to drop it.

Ask me one more time, and I'll bite your head off.

She must be someone really special.

Keep your wedding a secret, too.

Don't even send an invitation.

Unni, don't you dare go, either. Got it?

Huh? Oh, okay...

Fine, whatever.

Anyway.

So, where are you two going after lunch?

Huh?

Well, um...

Since we're at the West Sea,

better go do a mudflat clam-digging experience.

Really? I've always wanted to try that.

We should do it together!

Geum Ju, this is not it.

Please go off on your own date.

Ui Jun would be crazy

to want to go clam-digging with us.

Look at this.

Eating here gets us a discount on clam digging.

I saw this out front.

My Geum Ju said she wants to do it.

You did? Gosh, my boyfriend...

Let's go together.

(Clam-digging Experience)

I bet the kids will love it! Right?

Play and education. Hitting two birds with one stone.

You found a good location.

- What do you think, parent rep? - Huh?

That's right!

All right, why don't we go check out the clam-digging experience?

- Shall we? - Let's go!

Let's go!

How did things turn out like this?

Right...

Shall we go, Noona?

Wow, daebak. Look at this, Unni!

It's huge!

Wow, it's so big.

I haven't been over there.

Ui Jun, I found a giant one!

- Oh, really? - Yeah!

Whoa, daebak. More here!

I'm so good at this.

Is that why?

Is that how she got promoted?

- What? - She's enthusiastic for no reason.

She exhausts everyone who works for her.

She might be sober

but might make her subordinates crave booze.

- What was that? - You!

How dare you talk crap about my girlfriend?

- You, seriously... - Hey.

Hey, hey. Game on.

Come here.

- Throw it! - Throw it.

Go ahead!

Get it! Come at me!

Come at me!

- Lift me! Lift me! - Help me!

Wait, wait.

Wait! No!

Seo Ui Jun! Victory!

My phone, my phone.

Hey. Wait right there.

- We'll go right into round two. - Hey, you.

Whoa!

Daebak! An octopus!

Huh? There's an octopus?

Wow!

Wow! Unni, help me out.

Huh? Wow!

Isn't it amazing?

One, two, three...

So cool.

Wow.

Wow, catching an octopus here...

Hey, Seon Uk.

Look at this! An octopus.

Look at this!

- What's this? - Huh?

What's wrong? Are you stuck?

I think I'm stuck.

Let me help.

I'm stuck, too.

- Noona, are you okay? - I can't lift my foot!

Hold onto me.

Hey, Bong Seon Uk.

I'm okay.

Hey, Bong Seon Uk!

Am I invisible to you?

Wow, a parent is more important than a friend?

I get it. Money talks.

Geez, you slave to capitalism.

Hey, it's not like that!

I thought you could get out on your own since you're strong.

- Get out. - Geez.

Get on out. Step up.

I'm trying to step up.

One, two, three.

- Dang it! - Oh, my God! What is this?

What, what?

A worm!

Noona, are you okay? You were really scared, huh?

Why is he taking it so far?

- A worm... - It's almost like my sister's his crush.

There are worms here...

- Are you okay? - Yeah, yeah...

You got scared, huh? Let me look at other areas.

There are worms here?

He really sees her as...

a cash cow, doesn't he?

Even after Woo Ri and Na Rah are grown up, he'll want them for Taekwondo.

I bet he'll tap my sister for money!

Ruthless! So ruthless!

I'm exhausted.

Why do I have no energy?

What are you reading so intently?

Could it be... (Wood Carving: How to Make Money)

Are you trying to make money?

Don't even dream about it.

I still smell the fishy stench from the place you tanked after the junkyard.

Must you poke my wounds like that?

Did you eat lunch?

Not interested.

No appetite.

No energy.

Why all of a sudden?

It's not sudden. I've been like this for a while.

How about you pay some attention to your husband?

Drink all the broth, not a drop left. So you can feel better.

Got it.

Let's try to grow old and be in good health.

So we don't become a burden to the kids.

Gosh,

are you worried about the kids or me?

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed.

Gosh, seriously.

How come you're becoming more like a kid by the day?

Fine, I'm sorry.

From now on, I'll take better care of you.

The head of the household comes first.

I fully agree.

Okay.

Aigoo.

Eat up.

Why don't you have some?

There's more. You eat up.

Regain your strength. Okay?

Eat.

Hello.

Hello.

Wow, your outfit...

There's a game at a nearby field.

(Baseball Gals)

What...

Hitting a flying ball and being called the female Lee Dae Ho

make me so happy.

It's nice to see you enjoy life.

- Thank you. - Would you like to join us for lunch?

No, I just came to get takeout.

Dr. Seo loves the chicken soup here.

I was going to drop some off at his house.

Your takeout is ready.

- I'll get going, then. - Yes...

- How much is it? - 20,000 won.

Goodness.

It's such a relief that Ms. Baek is

by Ui Jun's side when he's got no family at all.

True.

(Director Oh)

What is it?

Seoyeon University Hospital wants to send volunteers again.

No, I told you not to accept them ever again.

Will you take responsibility if he gets exposed again?

Do you want his son to find out?

Please, I ask of you.

He can't find out.

Nothing at all.

- Unni, I love this. - Wow, the sky looks so nice.

- Really. - Gosh, what a lovely coincidence.

Right?

You're going in the water?

Careful!

You're going to catch a cold!

Hey, hey!

Wait, wait, wait!

- Let go! - Hey, hey!

Wait.

So beautiful. Right?

Yes, very beautiful.

Don't do that.

Seriously!

I think this is what it means to like someone.

I just can't take my eyes off you.

Even with the ocean right in front of me, no...

even if the views were more breathtaking than this,

none of it matters.

I only see you.

Gosh, you didn't have to bring all this.

It's so pretty, Sister-in-law!

You deserve it.

I never imagined Lee Young Woong would turn out decent.

Yet you took him in with love.

And you put up with a mother-in-law's

misguided love for her son.

Gosh, you're too much, Sister-in-law.

What are you doing here?

Came to get flowers. None of your business.

Listen to you.

Come on, stop it, you two.

You're not kids. Why do you always bicker?

Oh, right, how is Seon Uk?

I heard he likes someone.

You still don't know who it is?

No, he hasn't said a word.

Young Woong.

He really didn't even tell you? You really don't know?

I said I don't know. I don't know.

You know something.

What?

That's the face you made when you lied, even as a kid.

- No way! I mean it this time! - No way! I mean it this time!

And that line right there.

That's his lie routine.

This guy knows.

Young Woong.

Yes?

Tell us.

Who's Seon Uk's crush?

- I really don't know anything. - You don't-

Mess him up.

He knows. Guaranteed.

Is that so?

Who could it be that he's hiding it so much?

Hey, did you fight?

Hey, Seo Ui Jun. You must've messed up.

- What? - She's been acting distant,

and you've been walking on eggshells.

Seriously. Hey, what is it?

I'll straighten him up.

It's nothing like that.

What do you mean it's not?

The air's colder than a freezer truck.

If you did something wrong, apologize right away and fix it.

Don't make us uncomfortable with your lovers' quarrel.

Right, Noona? You feel uncomfortable, too, right?

- Huh? - See? She feels uncomfortable!

Can we please just go quietly?

They definitely fought, huh, Noona?

Hey, did something happen with Ui Jun?

Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?

The girl Seon Uk likes...

Is it you, Unni?

W-What?

Is it you?

Well, Geum Ju...

So it is.

What, were you two on a date there or something?

No, it's not like that...

Not like that? A "site visit"?

Unni, what are you thinking?

- What? - Why Bong Seon Uk of all people?

You know better than anyone

what kind of a little brother he is to Seon Hwa.

She'll freak out if she finds out, foaming at the mouth.

That's what you're worried about?

And you're not?

Are you really Seon Hwa's friend?

And you're really my sister?

What?

You're acting like Seon Hwa's sister.

I'm just worried-

Forget it. Stay out of it.

You won't have to worry about anything.

Unni.

Unni.

Unni.

Unn-

Since we're not absolutely certain,

how about waiting until they bring it up?

Not absolutely certain?

(Flower Delivery)

Gosh...

I feel so weak.

You should've finished off that chicken soup yesterday.

Look at me. I'm totally energized now.

Yes. I'm glad at least one of us has the strength back.

Why does everything feel so dizzy and spinny, though?

Are you feeling really bad?

Don't you have a kitty party with the ladies today?

Kitty party, my foot.

I have no energy.

I'm going to lie down for a bit.

Excuse me.

- Is this the home of Han Geum Ju? - Yes.

Here's a delivery.

Please sign here.

What is this?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Hold on...

What's this...

"Congratulations on your promotion to manager"?

"To the parents of Han Geum Ju…"

(Sincere congratulations on your child's promotion!)

(Yang Dong Boh, CEO of MFH Motors)

Whoa, whoa. Geum Ju must've gotten a promotion.

Oh, wow, I can't believe it!

My goodness! Wait, wait, wait.

Gi Beom.

Yes, I know. Two o'clock, right?

Yes, of course, I'll be there.

Yes, yes. See you later.

I thought you were too tired to go anywhere.

I have enough energy to boast.

- What in the world? - There's a gift certificate, too.

Oh, my goodness!

Unni... About yesterday...

Unni, can we talk?

Gosh, I don't know.

I didn't say anything wrong.

Yes, Mom.

Hey, why didn't you tell me?

You should've told me you got promoted.

I was so surprised to get flowers from your company.

Sorry, I didn't have a chance.

Yes, I understand.

Anyway, congratulations.

You did great, my daughter!

Baby daughter! Congratulations!

Well, I can't just stay put.

Should we throw a party and celebrate?

No, let's go on a trip!

Let's go on a trip to celebrate your promotion!

Let's go on a trip! A trip! A trip!

Gosh, no need for a party or a trip.

I don't have time.

With the promotion, I need to work harder.

Stop it. This was enough celebration.

I need to go back to work. I'm busy. Bye.

Okay.

On top of everything that's going on...

Hello, Manager.

I'm back from a test drive.

Don't mess around.

The vehicle with the new transmission due to a spike in RPM?

- Did the repair go well? - Of course.

How's your first day at work after the promotion?

Chief Kim, who was blocking your path, is now gone.

You must feel light and free.

Lucky you.

Work is going well, love life is going well...

Oh, right. Seo Ui Jun.

What did your boyfriend say?

What else? He congratulated me.

You're way too chill. Yes, you are.

How can you date a guy you cut off before?

So, are you happy?

I am. I am happy. Why? Why do you ask again?

Just to grill me?

I'm not trying to grill you.

If you're happy, that's enough for me.

Huh?

Do you know how worried I was?

That you'd break off your wedding,

never date again,

and drink yourself to death alone.

I just wanted you to be happy again.

Do you know how much I wished for that?

As long as you're happy,

whoever you date is fine.

I'll always be on your side, Han Geum Ju.

Come on...

Ms. Choi? - Yes.

Just a moment.

I always felt that way about Unni, too.

Why did I do that?

Here.

Dig in!

It's from my cousin in Anheung.

Thank you.

You're so lucky to have such a cousin.

Not as lucky as you.

Your daughter got a promotion!

Right?

You must be so happy.

Yes, I am.

I'm so happy!

Look at this!

Bochun's daughter, Han Geum Ju, is not dead yet!

I knew she'd make it big ever since she was little.

She's finally acting mature.

Congratulating her without arguing.

Of course.

Joy doubles when you share it.

Right, Hyungnim?

In that vein, would you like to treat us all today?

With pork ribs at our restaurant?

There's the hidden motive.

Why? What?

It's not just for my own benefit.

Don't you want her to treat us to pork ribs, too?

I do.

Shut up.

Pork ribs, my foot.

Eat the buns.

We'll go with beef.

I'm buying beef ribs today.

- Seriously? - Yes!

I'll treat you big time.

I'm Kim Gwang Ok, the big spender of Bochun!

Pork? Come on.

Get the beef ready!

Kim Gwang Ok!

Kim Gwang Ok!

Kim Gwang Ok!

Hyungnim, I love you so much!

Go away and stop with the bluffing.

No, I'll stick by you.

Ui Jun.

What? You found out before I did?

Yes.

I just found out by chance.

Please don't take it the wrong way.

Not at all.

Who cares who found out first?

I'm just so happy.

My Geum Ju has made me so proud.

I know. Geum Ju is such a great catch.

My taste in women is impeccable.

What?

Gosh, you're right.

You really snagged a great woman. Congratulations.

Thank you.

But I heard promotion means more tough work.

I should get some herbal medicine.

I'll get going.

Okay.

Aigoo...

Are you feeling okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Must be my age. This happens now and then.

Now and then?

You better get checked out more than Geum Ju.

Come with me to the clinic real quick...

No, I'm fine.

After you mentioned it last time,

I already scheduled a check-up.

Sure, but...

you don't look well...

Just a moment, Ma'am.

Yes, head nurse.

Could I call you right back?

Yes, thank you.

Ma'am!

Mom! Mom...

Geum Ju...

Geum Ju...

What is it? What happened?

She suddenly collapsed.

Bochun Hospital said it was acute hepatitis,

so I brought her here right away.

Hepatitis?

Why? My mom doesn't even drink.

Alcohol isn't the sole cause.

Could be medication, food,

or it could be a viral infection...

There are many potential causes.

You're here, Professor.

Yes, long time no see.

- You're Kim Gwang Ok's family, right? - Yes.

Can we talk for a moment?

Let's go.

Here is her abdominal CT scan.

As you can see, her liver is enlarged,

and the lymph nodes around it are also swollen.

Normal liver enzymes should be below 40.

Kim Gwang Ok is in critical condition, with her levels at over 3,000.

What?

Lowering these levels is the priority.

Let's hospitalize her and start treatment.

Given her state, she must've been in a lot of pain.

But it looks like she didn't show any signs.

That's probably why you all didn't notice.

Are you okay?

- Dad, are you okay? - Take a seat.

Dad...

What is this?

What in the world?

The cab's getting here soon.

This won't do. I'd better stay here, too.

No, leave it to Dad and me.

Go and get your kids from your friend.

I'll explain the situation and ask for a favor.

And ask if they can sleep over tonight.

Don't do that and just go.

Woo Ri and Na Rah don't sleep well without their mom.

Don't worry, and go.

I'll call you right away if something happens.

It must be tough for you to care for the kids

when you're preoccupied with this.

Having it tough isn't the problem here.

I'm deeply ashamed to face

you and Mom.

I don't deserve to be your sister or her daughter.

What are you talking about?

I feel the same.

I don't deserve to be her daughter...

or to be your sister.

Yes, Jeong Eun's mom. Sorry, I'm late.

I was too busy.

I'm on my way to-

What?

The kids?

Mom!

Mom!

Hi...

You're here.

Are the kids asleep?

What happened?

Oh, I heard when I called Ui Jun.

I figured you'd be too busy

and thought I could take care of the kids.

Okay. Thanks.

But please don't do this ever again.

What?

Let's stop this.

I've been meaning to say this.

But I wasn't able to.

- Noona. - Go.

- Wait... - Let go!

My mom is so sick.

And I didn't know until she got to that point.

I didn't know because I was wasting time with you!

Wasting time?

Yes.

I no longer want to be a deadbeat daughter.

So, let's stop this.

Please.

(Seoyeon University Hospital)

Let's try to grow old and be in good health.

From now on, I'll take better care of you.

The head of the household comes first.

You eat up. Regain your strength. Okay?

Honey...

Please wake up.

You said let's grow old and be in good health.

I should've taken care of you...

As your husband,

how could I not have known until it got to this point?

I'm sorry, Honey...

Honey, are you feeling better?

Gwang Ok...

Geum Ju, your mom's awake! Your mom's awake!

Mom...

Mom, are you okay?

Let me get the doctor.

Doctor!

Mom...

It's okay.

Don't worry, Mom.

I can't believe it.

She never even drank.

And hepatitis?

That's what I'm saying.

Even that man who drinks like a fish is perfectly fine.

What?

It still doesn't feel real.

She was always so healthy.

That's what I mean.

Someone who looks like he could drop dead from drinking,

but he's just fine.

Come on!

I drink because I'm upset, okay?

About her,

and about Jeong Su, who's by her side.

I can't believe this...

Thank God Ui Jun was by her side.

If she had collapsed on the street alone...

it could've been a disaster.

That's the silver lining.

I heard she was admitted to the university hospital where Ui Jun used to work.

Now that you mention it...

I've always wondered, actually.

Why did Ui Jun leave such a good hospital

- and come down here? - Look at him spewing drunken nonsense.

- Is that important now? - What?

I really hope she heals soon...

I heard someone you know was admitted?

What is it? You hate running into people.

What led you to bring her here?

It's acute hepatitis.

Professor Park is the nation's authority.

I didn't have time to consider anything else.

You must be pretty close.

To go to this length...

Yeah. She's basically family.

Of course, I should take care of her.

Are you sure your father's not at that nursing home?

Yeah.

Then, I guess I was mistaken.

Sorry for bringing it up.

If you found your father,

I thought you could finally let go of that burden.

Would I be able to let go?

When it's all my fault?

It all happened because of me...

Hey, that's not true.

That's not your fault.

Your decision back then wasn't wrong.

You bastard!

How dare you lock me up?

You bastard...

I'll kill you!

With my own hands, I'll kill you, you bastard!

- Let go of him! - Let go!

Call the ER Transport Team!

You asshole, I'll kill you!

Go ahead. Stab me.

Stab me!

Isn't that Dr. Seo Ui Jun?

Daebak.

How could he show up here?

He's so thick-skinned...

(Seoyeon University Hospital)

The levels aren't dropping at all.

Before it turns into liver failure,

we'd better proceed with a liver transplant.

(Organ Transplant Candidate Approval Application)

Sir, you're too old to be considered as a donor.

The oldest daughter, you were born with a small liver,

so it'll be tough.

The youngest daughter has the highest chance, so let's test.

What? Geum Ju is being tested for liver transplant suitability?

Yeah.

If her mom finds out her daughter might have surgery for her,

she'd never agree to that.

That's if the transplant is even possible.

Or they'd have to wait for a donor,

and that's really challenging.

So, I was thinking...

if Geum Ju is deemed unsuitable, I'll donate mine.

What?

That's insane. Only family members can donate.

Will you use this as an excuse to file for marriage with Hyeon Ju?

You crazy bastard. If your sister finds out,

she'll file your death certificate first. What the heck...

What are you saying? You don't need to be family.

It is a complicated process,

but if you prove it's out of goodwill, it's allowed,

even if you're not family. I looked into it.

You're completely insane.

What else can I do?

I can't stand watching her worry about her mom.

This is the only thing I can do to feel at peace.

Then what about me?

What about me, who's being tortured thanks to you?

What are you talking about?

Your sister keeps me awake every night, torturing me.

Interrogating me and torturing me to spill who you like.

It's a living hell.

Seon Uk, I want to live, too!

How dare you whine

when someone's literally in a hospital bed?

Hey. I might just spill everything.

That you like Hyeon Ju.

You love her so much that

you're willing to give away your liver!

Gosh, come on. Be quiet.

Don't cause a scene.

You lunatic.

What? What do you mean?

The results weren't good.

You can't donate.

What... What's the problem?

My recent blood test from the clinic

said my liver levels were fine-

Yes, your levels are within the normal range. It's just that

your liver fat percentage is outside the transplant range.

It needs to be within nine to 10 percent

to be eligible for transplantation.

But yours is at...

25 percent, Han Geum Ju.

What?

You mentioned you drank regularly, right?

Almost every day after work?

But I quit a while ago.

I only drank once recently and got drunk,

but it was just that once...

Unfortunately,

in your current state, a transplant isn't possible.

I was always with alcohol.

This is ridiculous! Do whatever you want!

- Thank you. - Another day of hard work.

It was tough, but you held on well.

So many moments, so many things I wanted to say,

I replaced them with alcohol.

Just that day, just that moment...

If only I hadn't,

would everything be different now?

Geum Ju.

Yeah...

What are you doing here alone?

I've been looking for you. You weren't picking up.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

I heard.

About the transplant suitability test...

I should've never learned to drink had I known.

I should've never started drinking in the first place.

Geum Ju...

No, that's not it.

If only I didn't drown myself in booze with Chief Kim that day...

You said you had no other option.

No, I could've thought of a different way,

but I didn't.

What if...

I used that as an excuse to drink my heart out since I had held myself back?

How dare I mention karma to anyone else?

I'm getting punished.

Don't say that.

Mom...

always did her best for me.

She truly gave me everything she could.

But I...

My poor mom...

What kind of daughter am I?

What are you talking about?

She was so proud of you.

Your promotion.

She told the whole neighborhood. She was so happy.

Really?

I know it's hard right now,

but if you work hard and lower your liver fat…

What if something happens to Mom in the meantime?

You know how urgent the surgery is.

We don't have time...

I know.

Let's just do our best.

And if it still doesn't work…

then we'll find another way.

(Seoyeon University Hospital)

What? Is that true?

We can transplant?

Yes, there's a brain-dead donor who is a match.

As you know,

the patient's MELD score,

which determines transplant priority, is quite high,

so she's been approved for surgery.

We don't have time to delay.

We'll begin as soon as the organ arrives.

Please prepare.

- Yes, thank you. - Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you so much.

Gwang Ok...

I'm so glad...

- Honey. - Yes?

I'm so afraid...

It's okay. It's okay. I looked into it,

and technology has come so far. The success rate is high,

and recovery will be quick.

Yes, Mom. Your doctor is the best in the country.

There's nothing to worry about.

As soon as you have the surgery, you'll be all better.

I'm so glad, Gwang Ok.

Mom, don't worry about anything.

Everything will be fine.

Remember what you said?

That we'd have a party and go on a trip to celebrate my promotion.

Yes. Let's go on a trip.

Let's party and have a great time.

Whatever you want to do, just say the word.

I'll make it happen.

I'll treat us to an extravagant promotion meal.

So, get through this surgery and get healthy.

Got it?

Liver recipient Kim Gwang Ok is ready.

Are you Han Geum Ju, the liver donor for Kim Gwang Ok?

- Yes. - Okay.

Relax and take a deep breath.

We'll do the anesthesia and begin the surgery.

I love you, Mom.

(Epilogue)

(Jeong Seon Mi)

Wait.

I'll make him pay somehow.

(Second Shot at Love)

- No way. - You need to live!

You need to live!

Dad!

I won't let anyone cut into my unwed daughter's body.

I'll wait until you open your heart again, Noona.

Stay away from my brother and me.

- Bong Seon Hwa. - Unless you want to see me die.

What did you wish for?

Please never shatter this happiness.

Where is Seo Ui Jun, that son of a bitch?

Someone was hurt because of me.

I think he has fully recovered his memory.

I'm sorry.

I got greedy for happiness for a moment.

I don't deserve to have that.
