The program director is here.

I see.

Hey. Say hi. This is...

Okay. Hi -

What are you doing here...

Do you know her?

What?

This is my patient, Geum Lee.

What's wrong? Do you two know each other?

Bro.

Yeah.

You do, huh? Sit. Sit.

How do you know each other?

Kyung-Woo, how do you know her?

Well...

She wants to know the air time. She hasn't told her family yet.

I see.

It's not set yet, but it's the end of December.

I see. Will it be okay?

Yes.

Well...

I'm sorry. I have to go now.

I'll call you later.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. We'll call you.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

How do you know each other? He looks very at a loss.

Bye then.

How could this happen?

Can I speak?

You didn't know she was ill?

Not at all.

You were gonna get married. How could you not know?

How could I know if she didn't tell me?

Don't take it out on me.

Isn't she really weird?

It was a contract marriage, but shouldn't she have told me?

Contract marriage?

If I had known, I wouldn't have been that mean.

I'm a jerk, but I wouldn't have said that to a sick person.

I wouldn't even have started it in the first place.

So was it a sort of contract marriage?

Forget it. Don't pry.

What are you gonna do? Will you go on?

Would you?

Me?

It's a nice subject, so I'd think about it.

Forget it!

I don't need your opinion, so just drive.

Wow, isn't this a helmet? That you wear on the bike.

That's right. You said it's your wish to ride one.

You need to wear this even on the backseat.

Huh?

I felt sorry watching you wrestling with books at your age, so I bought one.

I'll give you a ride now, so stop toiling with the books.

Really?

This is more expensive than it looks. Why would I spend money for nothing?

Try it.

Why? You swore you'd burn all your fingers.

Are you scared?

Whatever. Try it on.

Let's see... Alright...

I can't put it on.

Goodness...

Good.

Good now? How is it?

How else?

The helmet is too good for you, but you look passable.

Wait, I gotta see a mirror.

It's pretty. I look 10 years younger.

Of course. It's a good helmet.

Are you getting senile?

I think I am.

What do you wanna have for dinner?

Ride the motorcycle tomorrow. I have to go to the village headman.

Okay.

Bye then.

Yes, doctor.

Really?

He's in the middle of editing.

Yes.

I'll tell him to call you.

Okay.

It's the doctor. Since you wouldn't pick up.

He wants to know why you left like that.

Hey!

Have you decided?

You call him. Tell him we want to cancel it.

You're not gonna do it?

No.

Alright.

Call him now. To apologize.

Tell him we're canceling and ask him to tell Geum.

Then gather at the meeting room. We'll have a meeting for ideas.

[I'm sorry.]

[They wouldn't give me a specific reason.]

[I apologize.]

I see.

No. It's not your fault.

Yes.

See you next week.

Ki, it's me.

I'm at school now, but I wanna meet you at your hospital.

I have something to tell you.

What, at the hospital? Well, I...

Don't worry. I won't take much time.

I'm leaving. I'll call you when I get there.

Sis. Sis!

What is it?

Don't talk to me. I have to go to the hospital now.

Hey, hey!

Sir, Han-Kook university hospital please.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry. But I'm in a big hurry.

It's none of my business.

I'm Ki Lee.

Let's formerly introduce ourselves. What's your name?

Tae-Young. Tae-Young Yoo.

Wow, what a pretty name.

Thanks, Tae-Young. I'm really in a hurry.

You can understand me, can't you, kiddo?

Kiddo?

I think I'm older. How old are you? I'm 27.

You sure are older.

Where were you heading?

School. At Shin-Chon.

Then it's the opposite direction.

Stop! Sir, pull over.

Why?

Get off for a sec.

Why are you...

If you go to the hospital, it will cost too much.

It's better to leave here.

Be careful. Thanks. I'll treat you later.

Go. Go!

Who does he think he is?

What did I just do?

Yeah, sis.

Turn around. I'm here.

Where are you coming from?

I was outside.

I was running errands and rushed back at your call.

Shall we go sit somewhere?

Sure.

Here.

Interning is hard, isn't it? Without enough sleep.

Nothing is easy anyway.

Like I always say, life is a hard journey.

I'm fine.

Ki, do you know the disease called CML?

CML? I sure do. It's chronic myeloid leukemia, right?

You know it?

Yeah. Someone I know has it. Is it serious?

No.

Good medicines were developed,

so leukemia rarely turns acute like it used to.

5-10% at most.

If he takes medicine all his life and takes good care of himself...

It's like high blood pressure.

Why? Who has it?

That's right, huh?

Sure. So who has it?

Me.

It's me. I have CML.

Are you kidding?

I'm not kidding. I was diagnosed 8 months ago.

Sis...

I come to this hospital. I see Dr. Kyung-Wan Kim here.

Why didn't you tell me before?

You said it's not serious. Don't be upset.

Are you kidding me? Even if it's not serious.

Dr. Kyung-Wan Kim? Let's go check your chart.

I'm not done yet After I finish.

Sit.

Why didn't you tell me before? You should've told me at least.

I'm a doctor, aren't I?

I needed time to accept it too.

Hey.

I'm strong, but wouldn't I have been shocked?

Wouldn't I have been mad?

Ki.

Ki.

How...

Why are you so unlucky?

How can you be sick?

You said it's not serious.

It's not. It certainly is not.

8 months?

Yeah.

How shocked you must have been...

I'm fine now.

At first I wondered why these things keep happening to me.

I was upset and it was hard to accept.

But now I can. Being mad won't change anything.

All I could do was accept reality and pray to God.

'God, please don't let it become worse.'

'I'll work hard.'

'I'll be nice to others, so please don't make it worse.'

Of course. It won't get worse.

It won't, right?

I guarantee it. You won't get worse.

Of course.

So I have something to confess.

You gotta listen to me on behalf of our family.

Go on.

But you gotta hear me out. Don't get mad till you hear me out.

I sold my disease to keep my job.

Ki.

Ki!

Are you kidding me?

You wanna be in the documentary that bastard films?

I only found that just now.

Stop playing with words! Go ahead if you really want to.

You've already made up your mind. Why did you tell me that now?

You're gonna do it anyway, right?

No. If you strongly object, I won't meet him.

That's it then. No need to say.

I absolutely object. Know why?

First, others shouldn't know you're a CML patient.

Second, he's the director!

Why do I have to give this up because of him?

Now he has nothing to do with me.

Sis!

It was a really hard decision.

I was gonna accept my unfair dismissal. But I changed my mind for the students.

Can't you quit your job?

Why do you have to be humiliated like that?

I'll support you for a while.

Hey.

You're a CML patient. You shouldn't overwork yourself!

Don't say that.

Elites like you or sis might look down on my job but I love it.

I feel alive when I'm working.

Do you know how exciting it is to see their records improve?

I hate to have to deceive our family any longer.

That's why I told you first.

Because you're a doctor, I expected you to understand and support me.

I'm gonna tell mom and dad 2 weeks later after the nationals.

Ki, can't you help me?

I don't wanna quit my job like this.

I'd feel defeated and like a loser.

I'm also mad that he was an obstacle to my life and now to my students'.

I don't even hate him any more.

Hate happens when you care at all, so I even threw that away.

He means nothing to me now.

They say it's not serious, but I'm worried too.

I'm scared I might belong to that 5%.

That's why I wanna do what I love and leave nothing to regret.

Alright.

I'll check the charts first.

Let's talk after I check your current condition.

How come your abs are so flabby? How come you are slow?

This is why you shouldn't skip working out even for a day!

3 more sets!

Go, Silk Road!

Go!

Hi, Ki.

Sis, it's me. Yeah.

You've entered hematological remission.

Yeah.

Your white blood cell and thrombocyte counts are normal,

and you're currently in minor cytogenetic...

No, you don't need to know this.

Do you really have to do it? Do you like it that much?

[Yeah.]

You didn't even hesitate.

Alright.

Do as you please.

Ki.

2 conditions.

You have to tell our parents 2 weeks later, after the competition.

Second, if your condition worsens or I say stop, you'll quit right away.

Now I'm in charge of you.

I'm gonna study enough on CML to write a thesis.

Ok, got it. I promise.

Yes, definitely.

[Alright then. Bye.]

Ki.

Thanks.

You're welcome. Bye.

What is it? You can't do it right?

♪ I'm a woman ♪

♪ But the mind of the heartless man who won't understand ♪

Is she sleeping? I can't hear her.

Should I wash... Oh my.

I thought you were sleeping.

Where are you going? You came back not too long ago.

Prepare dinner. Man-Seh is coming early.

Okay. I'm quite helpful, aren't I? Should I just move in?

Bye.

I won't be late.

Why did you come again?

Sit.

I'm busy.

Just sit.

How dare you be peevish at me after what you've done?

I didn't say anything before because I was so shocked.

Tell me the truth. What happened?

Why did you cheat on him? How did you get caught?

I couldn't forgive his affair.

So I got even just once.

What? Got even?

What should I do? I couldn't forgive him no matter what!

I was confident I wouldn't get caught.

What?

Neither your father nor I taught you like this.

Is this how we raised you?

Did we raise you to be arrogant and selfish?

I taught you wrong.

When you got into fights with Geum, I was generous to you and only scolded Geum.

I guess I spoiled you rotten. It's my fault.

I'm regretting it too.

I didn't know it would turn out like this.

So how is it now?

Your mother in-law told me Tae-Il is pondering divorce.

Did he suggest a divorce?

No. He didn't yet.

He told me to wait for his decision.

It was me who suggested it.

You did?

What could I do? Even my mother in-law found out.

Don't look at me like that.

We might get a divorce...

but I won't if Tae-Il doesn't want it.

And he won't divorce easily.

He isn't the type of person who'd go back on something.

If that's what you think....

If you still love him and don't want to divorce, why did you do that?

I couldn't forgive him because I loved him.

Don't you understand?

Move out of your in-laws' first.

Your mother in-law saw you cheat. You can't live with her any more.

It will be torture for both you and her.

Move out.

And be nice to him no matter what.

You hear me?

Yes.

Alright, go.

Let's talk about the rest later.

Are you back, aunt?

Hey. You're right on time.

Have dinner. He just came back too.

Okay.

Hey.

Where have you been? Man-Sook told me you were busy all day.

I ran some errands.

You came later than you said you would.

I just did.

You know Mr. Hahn can't stop once he starts.

We old folks gotta be careful not to say the same thing over and over.

He doesn't even know he does. It's torture to everyone.

He's like a broken record. Tell me if I ever do that.

You don't do that.

Geum called that she'd be late. Hurry, Man-Sook prepared dinner.

Let's eat.

You go ahead. I'll be out soon.

Hey, Kyung-Woo, I heard you gave up on the track coach?

Did it reach there too?

Chief told me that you gave up on that good idea.

I'll do it. Give me the number.

I can't. I gave up because she refused.

Chief told me it was you.

It's not. She declined it.

It's no use.

Hey, did you hear? Min-Sun postponed her wedding.

You didn't know? In reality it was called off.

Why?

I hear it's her mother. She spends a lot and is in huge debt.

That's an excuse. Min-Sun is the problem.

I think she called it off.

Do you know how many men she's been with since I met her?

Bro!

If you're not involved,

you have no right to criticize a personal decision like marriage or divorce!

What is this about?

You're not gonna get married?

Why not?

None of your business.

It isn't, but I'm curious.

What do you wanna know? If it's because of you?

It's not.

I couldn't bring myself to suggest it but thankfully he did.

The problem is they think I was after their money.

My mom borrowed money from him without telling me.

His family found out and it became an issue.

Thanks to my mom, I have to work all my life to pay it back.

Satisfied?

So go.

I have to finish this script by tonight.

Please.

Leave.

Aunt, what's your dream?

Dream? What's yours?

To become a ballerina like you.

Ballerina?

To become a ballerina, you're too...

What do you mean?

Nothing.

Why would you wanna be something that takes so much work?

It looks good, but do you know how hard it is?

Then what's your dream?

It is... to be a lucky girl.

What?

Haven't you heard that a smart girl can't beat a pretty one,

and a pretty one can't beat a lucky one?

No, I haven't.

Of course you haven't heard that profound saying.

What a thing to say to a little niece.

Where are you going?

Father wants to eat out with aunt. Rice is in the cooker.

Okay. I'll eat it. Bye.

My puppy.

Ask aunt for dinner. I'll be back soon, okay?

Okay.

Good.

[It's me.]

I'm about to leave.

Go straight home.

I have something to tell you.

Okay. I'm about to leave too.

I'm leaving. Take care.

You worked hard. See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Uh, Tae-Il.

Dad!

Where are you going?

We're going to get hamburgers.

Mom went out. We'll eat hamburgers for dinner.

What are you gonna have?

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me. Have a good one.

Okay. We'll be back soon.

Let's go.

I'll be back.

Sure.

Come sit.

Let's get a divorce.

You said it was just once in Bangkok, right?

You swore on heaven and Hyo-Eun.

Yeah.

But I heard you went to a hotel too.

That's how mom found out.

It's not that. I didn't go there for that.

Then?

Why did you go in the room?

I knew you'd misunderstand that.

That's why I didn't want mother to tell you.

Misunderstand?

I swear. That's not why I went there.

Do you think I'd lie on Hyo-Eun? That's not why I went there.

You gotta believe me.

Believe? Who?

Tae-Il...

Then was it a lie that he lives in Bangkok?

Does he live in Seoul? Do you still meet him?

No, no. I swear.

That's not why I went in the room -

How many times did you cheat on me?

Tell me precisely.

I swear it's not that!

It's really not that.

He kept calling me...

Enough.

I don't care what happened now. I'm not interested.

Let's divorce. Get out of this house.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Why, you don't want a divorce?

You told me you'd accept whatever decision I make.

You can't?

Yes.

Okay, let's.

How can we live together after we've completely lost trust?

Yeah, let's.

Thanks for making a quick decision.

That's great then.

When do you wanna leave?

I can't stand staying with you in this house any longer.

If this were your house, I'd leave immediately.

But this is mine, so I can't.

So you leave. Tomorrow.

I can't.

Both of us are at fault, so why do I have to be kicked out like that?

I can't do that.

I have things to organize and have to find a place.

Fine.

I'll give you a week.

Finish everything in a week.

I'll prepare the documents before then.

Okay.

There won't be any alimony. Like you said, both of us are at fault.

Take Hyo-Eun with you.

That was needless to say, wasn't it?

Good then.

I'm done.

Is there anything left?

I guess not.

Do you wanna work or not?

Quit if you can't control your private life!

If you wanna work, do it right!

Who's career are you trying to ruin with this script?

Do you call this a script?

I'm sorry.

Give me just 3 hours. I'll rewrite it.

Forget it. Give it up.

Director Hahn asked Park to rewrite it already.

Chief, how could you without ...

Should I just wait after leaving the script to an incompetent writer?

Chief.

Take some time off.

The director thinks you should too. We'll work with Park for a while.

Chief...

Alright.

I already warned you. To work hard on the script.

Do you have to kick me when I'm down?

Don't! Don't!

Thank you.

It has been a while since we met outside.

I know. I should've called and treated you more often.

Yeah. It doesn't have to be often, but let's meet once in a while.

What else is there at our age?

Meeting and talking while eating good food to make our life complete.

I'll treat you for your birthday.

Thanks. Thank you for remembering it.

I feel more as I age.

That I gotta cherish the people around me rather than meeting new people.

It occurred to me lately.

'Who'd cry for me if I died?'

Besides Kyung-Woo, would there be anyone who'd cry for me from the heart?

What's wrong with you? It's unlike you.

I'm more sensitive than you think.

She's always been sensitive. With a lot of sensibilities too.

She's good-sized now...

but when she recited poems in a sonorous voice in high school -

Let's order first. I'm hungry.

I wasn't done yet.

I was hungry. You can talk after we order.

Go ahead.

Order for us. I wouldn't know anything.

Yeah. You do it.

I will then. Escargot for appetizer -

We're in a French restaurant, so let's try snails.

I just ordered it. Escargot.

That's snail.

And agneau steak please.

'Agneau? What's that?'

Salad too.

Since the main dish is agneau, a full-bodied red wine would go well, huh?

Would you recommend a full-bodied sauvignon?

Something not sweet and deep. Lots of tannin.

'What's she babbling? Would she choke in Korean?'

Okay. Just a moment.

So what are we eating today?

Hello?

This is Geum.

[Let's meet. I have something to tell you.]

Where are you?

Long time.

We met this afternoon, but I didn't greet you then.

Have you been well?

Yes.

I'm sorry I left like that.

I was very surprised.

Of course. I was too. I understand.

But why won't you film it?

Is it because of me?

Yes.

You wouldn't believe me if I denied it.

That's right.

I was fired by the director.

What do you mean?

Right after the wedding was called off.

It was undoubtedly an unjust dismissal, so I protested to no avail.

That's why I was there when you saw me.

I didn't know.

I'm sorry. I had no idea.

That's why I decided to be in it.

I declined many times, but I decided to do it because of it.

I negotiated with the director with it as my last resort.

I told her I'd have a human documentary filmed at Silk Road if she reinstated me.

She did right away.

And then I found out the program director was you.

I see. I understand now.

Don't worry. I'll tell her to hire you again regardless -

Listen, Mr. Ko.

I have no feelings about you. Not even hate.

I don't want your help, let alone your sympathy.

Just film a documentary about me.

I made a hard decision for the students.

Don't sully that.

If you ever feel sorry to me, just bear the awkwardness and film it.

Only then can I proudly go back to work.

This tent is the training base camp. Look how bad it is.

But my students and I consider it better than an Olympic gym and train diligently.

They need me.

They need you to film the documentary.

Do you know what I mean?

You gotta make it.

You will, right?

Okay. I will.
