CHOCOLATE

ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, COMPANIES,

AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

EPISODE 7

Here you are.

Ms. Han told me that you looked for me.

I wanted to ask if you'd like to drink with me after work.

That's my mom's seat.

You can sit here.

Isn't that water?

You should drink water since you're not feeling so well.

Happy birthday.

I hope you're never sick again.

Especially on your birthdays.

My man!

Up for drinks? Ditto that.

I picked up some sashimi to have a drink with you.

I see you're already having a drink with my sister.

We were

definitely meant to meet, my man.

"My man"?

Why are you calling Dr. Lee like that all of a sudden?

"Dr. Lee"? Come on.

That makes us look like we're not close

I'm going to think of Kang as my brother for the rest of my life.

End of discussion.

What do you say, my man?

What the hell? Have you lost your mind?

Erase the dot

In the word, "stranger"

And it becomes "darling"

Down the road, in the distant future,

we'll add "in-law" at the end of the word, "brother."

Are you drunk?

I haven't even opened my soju bottle yet, okay?

Gosh, you're always worried about me. You love me too much.

You see, my sister

isn't in her greatest shape at the moment,

but she's actually the most gorgeous woman in town.

She even participated in the Miss Korea pageant--

Hey, when did I do such a thing?

I mean, everyone said she should participate in it.

People said she'd at least win the Miss Photogenic title.

Everyone kept pushing her to do it, but she refused.

Why? Because she has such a healthy mindset.

She hates how we're living

in a world where everyone is judged by their appearance.

-We need to talk. -We can talk right here.

Shut up and follow me, you punk.

Okay, fine.

She's trying to show you her strong and energetic side.

Usually, she comes off as graceful and gentle with words.

Come now, Kang might get the wrong idea and think that you have a sailor's mouth.

I'm sorry.

-Follow me. -Brother-in-law.

-Just follow me, will you? -Brother-in-law!

It hurts.

Gosh, are you trying to break my arm?

I don't smell any alcohol.

I'm totally sober right now.

Then why are you talking like a hammered nuthead?

What's with all this nonsense?

Which part of it is "nonsense"?

Tell me the specific sentence.

I mean, the whole "brother-in-law" thing...

You don't even like Dr. Lee.

Cha-young.

I'm all for you ending up with your first love.

Even with Asako, things could've been different

had her first love come back earlier.

Just what are you talking about? Who is Asako? And whose first love...

You found out?

Yes, of course.

Your first love, Lee Kang, from Geosung Hospital

is the Lee Kang we met in Greece,

-and he's also this Lee Kang-- -Hey, stop.

Tae-hyun, the thing is...

I know people say your first love never works out,

but let's break that prejudice.

Stop talking nonsense, you prick.

Just go home, wash up, and go to bed.

-Damn it. -Go! Go home already.

I took a very long nap during the day.

Plus, I spent 50,000 won on this sashimi.

Whatever. I'm going to drink with my future brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law, my foot.

I'll reimburse you for the sashimi and give you 50,000 won more.

-Brother-in-law! -Okay, fine!

Make that 100,000 won.

Brother-in-law!

Fine. That times ten!

What is "that"? 50,000 won or 100,000 won?

I can't stand you.

If you ever meet her,

please tell her happy birthday.

And can you please ask her if she knows that today

is Ji-yong's last birthday?

I'm really happy that you have

the same birthday as me.

Goodness. Why sleep there when there's a bed?

-Wake up, Kang. Hey. -Yes.

You're going to hurt your back if you sleep on a chair.

-Get up. -Okay.

You didn't go home last night?

No. I drank a little last night.

Oh, boy. You didn't even have any soup with your drinks?

Your liver's still young, I guess.

I'll clean up.

One for your mom and two for you?

You still remember it?

I do get the dates mixed up for my wife's death anniversary,

but never your mom's.

It was a huge accident, you know.

I should remember it, of course.

But even when such a huge accident takes place,

everyone quickly forgets about it unless it happened to them.

No one reflects on it, nor does anyone try to prevent it.

The same accident happens again because everyone forgets so quickly.

You have to remember what happened to reflect on it,

which you must do

to be able to protect those who are alive.

Let's get you some hangover soup. Let's go.

I know a great gomtang place. Let's go.

Gosh, it's hot.

They do such a great job with instant foods these days.

This is a hundred times better than the gomtang at the cafeteria.

Sit down.

I'll go wash up first.

The noodles will swell up, so just eat first.

And even if you don't wash up, you're still more handsome than I am.

I'll go wash up quickly.

Am I wrong?

Right, I'd be better-looking if he didn't wash up.

So dried sweet potatoes are your favorite?

The first time I saw these,

I was starving because I had not eaten anything

to prepare for a kids acting audition.

Nothing tastes better than what you eat when you're starving.

But the ones that cows eat tasted a little better than the ones we eat.

What are you talking about?

People in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, make porridge with this.

It's so good.

I've had it, bbaeddaegijuk.

You know about it.

And people on the islands of Jeolla-do

even make noodles and sujebi with dried sweet potatoes.

They make noodles and sujebi with this?

People used to make it back when grains were considered expensive,

so you rarely see people eating it these days.

But it's actually very good.

I'll make some for you. Would you like to try it?

Yes.

Could I get a bowl too?

The noodles you mentioned. I'd love a bowl of it as well.

Son.

You must be hungry.

Wait a few more minutes.

Thank you.

What about yours?

Oh, I'll eat with Ms. Han.

Then I'll go ahead.

By the way, about what my brother said last night.

It was just drunk talk. He was spewing total nonsense,

so please don't mind him.

He didn't seem drunk.

No, he was so drunk.

Even when he's drunk, he seems sober and never shows...

I mean...

One would say he's perfectly sober,

but he's actually drunk out of his mind.

He doesn't seem to show it, but if you look closely...

What I'm trying to say is...

Is it his asking me to be his brother-in-law

that's making you go on restlessly like this?

I erased it from my head right away as it didn't even deserve to be ignored,

so you don't need to explain.

Yes.

What do you mean?

Okay.

Cha-young.

I'm sorry, but please take care of this for me.

And please let Ms. Han know that I enjoyed the food.

Thank you.

What? He barely ate it.

"I enjoyed the food"? As if.

Sir.

-What are you doing, sir? -He wants to leave.

Honey, can't I just stay here?

That place is too expensive.

I don't care if I spend up all my money

if that's what it takes to heal you.

Let's go to Dr. Jo.

He promised me that he'll help you get better.

Who is Dr. Jo?

Someone in Mount Gyeryong who specializes in alternative medicine.

I think he's a quack.

Her condition can't be cured...

He's probably not a licensed doctor.

You'll put her through hell and waste your money.

I'm sure he's better than you. You're not even doing anything.

All you do is give her morphine when she's in pain.

Are we just waiting for her to die?

How could you call yourselves doctors?

I heard you saved many lives at Geosung Hospital,

but you're not doing anything for my wife.

Why did you become a doctor if you're not going to help your patients?

Sir.

Just let them leave.

We apologize for not being able to help your wife.

We won't stop you,

so do as you wish.

Mom.

This is delicious.

It's amazing how your father can eat now.

That was an insult, right?

Yes, it is an insult. So what?

What's your mom saying?

"Yes, I insulted you. What can you do about it?"

Hey.

She's amazed that you can eat now.

As you can see, I'm only eating the fish

since you might say I don't deserve the whole thing.

Seongju Daily will soon go public with the dirt they have on your dad.

Interpret that, please.

Seongju Daily--

Forty-three years ago, his false admission to the university.

Interpret, please. Can you interpret what your mom's saying?

Is she talking crap about me for only eating the side dishes?

I bought this with my own money, not hers.

And when he was about to fail, ghostwriting his thesis.

Interpret, please.

I don't know those words.

Stop talking in French like a coward. Speak Korean, okay?

Even our cleaning staff know that you're intelligent and I'm dumb,

so talk in Korean if you want to insult me.

What do we do? We're all doomed.

You two, seriously.

I'm going to go tell Mom that you two

-belittle and bully me. -She's saying Grandma

looks down on her because she's not from a prestigious family.

Really?

That's why you couldn't tell me?

There's nothing wrong with your family.

Pulling in ten billion won a year as a fan parts manufacturer?

In that field, it's as big as it can get.

Sure, you got me.

Honey.

Jeez.

-Hey, Jun. -Yes.

Where's the best place to learn French?

Hello?

Hey, Jun. It's me, Hui-ju.

Hey, who is it?

I have to step out.

He completely ignored my question.

Even that punk thinks I'm a joke. Goodness.

Hello?

Hello?

Isn't this Lee Jun's number?

Hui-ju, it's me.

Hey, I got your number from Ms. Moon, the chef.

I...

I can't really see.

One of the kids here dialed your number for me.

I know you're busy,

but why don't you come see me when you have some time?

Let's go to an internet café.

-What internet café? Come on. -Let's go already.

Hey, you there.

You were here a few days ago, right?

Are you here to see me?

No.

I came to check out pottery making.

Then feel free to come inside.

Why peek in like that?

If I do that,

I might actually fall hard.

For what? For me?

No.

For pottery making.

I have to study, so I don't have time for things like this.

But can I come in and watch

for a few minutes?

LEE JUN

Is it his asking me to be his brother-in-law

that's making you go on restlessly like this?

I erased it from my head right away as it didn't even deserve to be ignored,

so you don't need to explain.

I'm good at opening Manila clams.

It must hurt.

Go put on a Band-Aid or something.

Did Ye-sol's mom really leave the hospice?

Yes.

Then does that mean Ye-sol is not coming back here?

Yes.

Gosh, she didn't even say goodbye.

She's so mean.

Where did you get the costume?

Mom bought this for me.

My mom is going to live with us.

She's not going anywhere.

Good for you.

Now I have my helmet and costume here.

All I need is a spaceship now.

A spaceship?

Yes. I won't go to heaven. I will go to space.

Here.

Cha-young got me this in the morning, but you can eat it.

Didn't she buy it for you?

Now that my mom is coming and I have my spacesuit,

I don't need it. I'm happy already.

Then,

do I look unhappy to you?

Yes.

A little.

Thank you.

I'm a chef too.

You can come here whenever you're hungry.

This food is so delicious

that it's making me unbelievably happy.

Come back for lunch.

If you come back,

I'll make you chocolate shasha.

Are you cooking for that young customer earlier?

-Yes. -Hey.

You like her, don't you?

It's not like that.

I just think she didn't seem happy.

I'm making this for her because chocolate shasha can make anyone happy.

Gosh.

DIRECTOR KWON HYEON-SEOK

Director Kwon.

I have something to tell you.

What's that dress? You look like a shaman.

This is just rainbow-colored Hanbok.

So why are you wearing the dress when you don't even look good in it?

You're a nurse.

On duty.

Ms. Bong gave it to me.

Ye-sol's mom just left.

Everyone's feeling somewhat uneasy.

Let's call it a change of atmosphere.

Don't you think it might ruin my mood?

Everyone seemed to like it.

She said I could give this to someone else, if I don't like it.

Do you want it?

Hey, Ms. Ha.

You have a pretty face like a girl, so you'd look good in this.

You should try it on.

What?

What are you doing?

Why are you taking off your dress in my office?

-Why... -My goodness.

Gosh, why do you sound so shy?

You even saw me get my diapers changed when I was a baby.

Ha Ton-sil, do you have a death wish? I've had enough of this.

It's true.

You said when my brother changed my diaper,

-you saw the whole thing. -Put it back on.

You said you've never fantasized about me

-and could never even see me as a woman. -My goodness.

Look at me. Just turn around and look at me.

-I'm a woman too. -No! I won't!

-Just look over here. -No!

-Why you little... -You sicko.

What in the world were you expecting?

How silly.

-Actually, I got a bone to pick with you. -What is it?

Why do you talk down to me every time?

I'm your older brother's friend.

And I'm seven years older than you.

My brother told me to talk down to you.

That way, we can be more intimate.

-And there's something more important. -What?

Why do you keep saying that I'm pretty?

Because you are.

What's wrong with your eyes? Do I look pretty? Where?

Your eyes.

Nose.

And lips?

And everything else, I guess.

Hyeon-seok.

You look just like Go Soo, the actor.

Seriously, cute guys are such assholes.

My gosh.

So you should try this on.

-Just do it. -What are you doing?

-Hey. -Gosh, you look gorgeous.

You're beautiful.

You're so pretty.

What do you want me to do with these?

You can wear them.

Can't you see I'm a man, Ms. Bong?

Still, I want you to wear them.

Whose shoes are these?

They are new.

They don't belong to Suk-ja.

My son didn't buy them.

I see. Your son bought these for Grandma Fartsy.

But why do you have these?

No. I didn't steal them from Suk-ja.

You stole them from Grandma Fartsy?

It's wrong to steal someone's belongings.

It's doo-doo. Bad grandma.

I didn't think you were like that. I'm disappointed.

I didn't steal them, I said!

Gosh, Ms. Bong. What about your shoes?

She's so fast.

Be careful. You might fall.

The son should've gotten them

the same things.

He shouldn't cause conflict between the two ladies like this.

My goodness.

I have no choice.

I should go handle it.

Gosh, I'm tired.

Maybe I should ask Ms. Bae for help.

It's okay.

I already have a pretty face.

You know it.

You are really pretty.

I think you look better without makeup on.

This is my first time to see Jun since my marriage.

I don't want to look like a patient.

You don't look sick at all.

You look healthy and pretty.

All right then.

Can you help me pick out some clothes that match this makeup?

I think my caregiver brought some clothes yesterday.

Okay.

Please pick out the most beautiful outfit.

Something that I could wear to go on a trip

if I were to leave today.

Okay.

And...

I heard there's a lake near the hospital.

Instead of the stuffy lounge,

I want to have a date by the lake

with a nice view.

Okay. I'll take you there.

I can smell the water.

The lake is right in front of you.

Thank you.

For the food too.

My husband and I were busy with work.

So we only ate to fill our bellies.

But,

when I tried the dishes you made,

I had the strangest experience.

"It's okay, Hui-ju."

"You have led a pretty good life."

"You did a really good job."

I felt like it comforted and embraced me.

Even after I leave this place, I will feel full and warm

for a very long time

with the memory.

Hui-ju.

I got the wrong bouquet for you.

I believe you would have preferred a bouquet of cash.

Do you know how much more I ate because of the plate you made?

I heard Cha-young is a good cook.

I haven't had a meal that good in my whole life.

You have to try it too.

Jun.

Yes?

I'm sorry.

For what?

For everything.

I'm sorry I ignored your feelings.

But you were lucky enough not to end up with me.

My husband only went through a hard time

because he got married to me.

He led a difficult life because he was always busy

taking care of his sick wife.

Why aren't you saying anything?

The fact that you knew how I felt

is embarrassing, and it hurts my pride.

I'm sorry.

Hearing you apologize

makes it even worse.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. My husband will be here soon.

Jun.

Thank you and sorry.

I hope you meet someone healthy

and kind.

And I hope you live a long and happy life.

Please pick out the most beautiful outfit.

Something that I could wear to go on a trip

if I were to leave today.

Dr. Lee!

I found this underneath Ms. Kim Hui-ju's bed.

I found it while I was cleaning her bed earlier.

She must've been collecting sleeping pills as well

in order to kill herself.

The thing is, a couple months ago before you came here,

there was another patient who collected sleeping pills like this

and tried to commit suicide.

Where is Ms. Kim?

Ms. Kim Hui-ju!

Ms. Kim Hui-ju!

-Ms. Kim Hui-ju! -Ms. Kim Hui-ju!

Ms. Kim Hui-ju!

I don't think she's inside the hospice.

Where did she go?

Ms. Kim Hui-ju!

Ms. Kim Hui-ju!

What are you doing here?

Why are you looking for Hui-ju?

Ms. Kim Hui-ju!

Ms. Kim, no!

No! Ms. Kim!

Ms. Kim!

Ms. Kim!

Ms. Kim!

Ms. Kim!

Her body temperature is 35, and her blood pressure is 90 over 60.

Did you call Professor Jung?

Yes. Her husband was attending a conference in Jeju Island.

He said he'll be here as soon as he books a ticket.

Get her a warming blanket.

And give her 500ml of normal saline IV

-that’s been heated to about 40°C. -Okay.

What about ones you'll leave behind?

How could you think of doing something so selfish?

I never imagined that you'd do this.

You're awfully selfish, Ms. Kim.

Thank goodness Ms. Moon was there to save her.

Are you okay? My goodness.

My gosh, this is bad.

Do you want to get a shot?

No, it's okay.

Instead of getting a shot,

I just want a hot bowl of soup.

You're unbelievable.

Cooking soup isn't the problem.

I could cook you a hundred bowls if you wanted, but...

Gosh, it's cold.

My goodness.

You really need to stop caring so much.

You're not a lifeguard. Why would you go in there?

What if something bad happened to you?

My gosh.

I was also able to survive

a long time ago

because people tried to help me regardless of how dangerous it was.

Dr. Lee Jun must've been shocked.

Kim Hui-ju regained her consciousness

just now.

Who is it?

Is it you, honey?

I'm sorry for startling you, honey.

I just didn't want to burden you.

You gave up going abroad as an exchange professor because of me.

You gave up everything you wanted.

I'm going to die anyway.

So I just thought I could die a little quicker.

I wanted to set you free

as quickly as I could.

That's impressive.

I'm touched.

Who are you?

Jun?

I...

I didn't get to say goodbye to you for the last time.

So I came to say goodbye for good.

I regret that I ever liked you.

Even if I hear about your death, I'm not going to go to your funeral.

I'm not even going to cry.

If you're going to end your life this way, you don't even deserve

to be born again as anything.

Bye.

You're right.

There were times

when a delicious meal

cured me a lot better than a shot.

Try it.

Thank you for the meal.

Ms. Kim!

I don't think he went home yet.

I saw Dr. Lee's car in the parking lot.

This too, Ms. Kim.

By the way, shouldn't Dr. Lee also get an IV injection?

He didn't look very well.

Why would he need an IV injection?

He also went into the water

to save Ms. Moon and Ms. Kim.

Oh, right.

I was so startled that I totally forgot about him.

Where is Dr. Lee Kang?

I don't know. I wonder where he is.

He didn't answer any of my calls.

What are you doing here?

Cha-young kept looking for you.

Don't call her.

Why not?

I'm wondering what this is.

What do you mean?

Someone keeps bothering me.

Who?

I want to avoid her.

But she makes me feel worried.

And I can't get her out of my head.

What do you think this is?

The Zika virus?

"The Zika virus"?

What if that's what this is? What do I need to do?

You should get a vaccination.

If you already have it, you should get it treated.

How can I get it treated?

You need to exterminate the virus first.

But why are you asking me?

You're a doctor.

You're right.

I'm a doctor.

What are you doing in front of my car?

I couldn't find you anywhere.

Why were you looking for me?

Well,

I was worried about you.

I overheard Ms. Ha say that you're sick.

So you just stayed here

and waited for me until now?

Are you okay?

As you can see, I'm fine.

That's good to hear.

Do you want a ride? It's late.

No, my brother will come and pick me up.

I made

dumpling stew for him.

Min-seong

really enjoyed it.

Well,

I was worried about you.

I'm wondering what this is.

Someone keeps bothering me.

I want to avoid her.

But she makes me feel worried.

And I can't get her out of my head.

Min-seong.

I think I'm lost again.

Subtitle translation by Liya Choi

Cha-young!

Iron Ranger!

I hope the spaceship that Ji-yong is waiting for

will get lost

and end up coming here

really late after about 100 years.

Aren't you going back to Greece?

Didn't you once say you're going to go back to Greece?

Oh, right. I...

I'm going to go back.

If you're going to leave anyway,

shouldn't you just go as soon as you can?

Working here isn't exactly the best job you could ask for.

I think something happened to Cha-young.

Cha-young!

I don't remember when my heart started to flutter because of him.

Cha-young!

I can't exactly remember when my feelings for him

started to grow.

Do you know how worried I was while I was searching the mountain?
