I climbed the mountain every day.

I decided to climb the mountain
every day on New Year's Day.

And with the belief that mountain climbing
could cure her disease,

for about a month and a half,

we climbed the nearby mountain every day.

I wasn't used to mountain climbing,

so whenever I faced an uphill,
my lower stomach ached.

Unlike my body,
my mind must've been afraid.

My wife's stomach was also unwell,
but for a different reason.

When I reached the top,

I felt touched yet got seized with fear.

The anticipation about getting well...

and the fear of the unknown future...

was mixed in my heart.

When I came down the mountain
with my wife,

I was just filled with joy.

As much as the sweat she shed
and the pain she felt while climbing,

we felt like she has recovered
from the disease.

But it's something
we can't even imagine doing it.

(Episode 5,
We All Need Some Sweet Consolation)

I make apple and carrot juice
in the morning.

I wash apples thoroughly...

and grind them unpeeled
because it's nutritious.

- Are you going to school?
- Yes.

Do you want an apple?

You know I don't eat breakfast.

But Mom shouldn't eat sweet food, right?

That's not true.
She can have this juice, though.

I heard cabbage juice and onion juice
are good to have in the morning.

Then, I should make cabbage soup
tomorrow morning.

Have a good day.

You've got a parcel.

Another reason
that apples are good for health...

is that their GI, the glycemic index,
is very low.

When you eat food with a high GI,

your blood sugar level reaches
its peak very quickly.

And your pancreas gets anxious,
so it oversecretes insulin.

Compared to their sweetness,
strawberries, apples, and pears...

have a GI that's lower than that of tofu.

Although potatoes have higher calories
than potatoes,

their GI is lower than that of potatoes.

It's something that's needless to say,

but you must never judge food
with GI only.

There isn't only one answer in food.

It's another reason that I believe
my easygoing personality is a blessing.

(Apple carrot juice with peels)

- What's that?
- What?

An emergency bell.

Even when I'm outside,
it gives me notifications on my phone.

I'm not so ill
that I can't even make a phone call.

It's called an emergency bell
because it's for an emergency.

It's not bad to have one, anyway.

Why don't you sleep with me here?

Why are you so surprised?

I'm just joking.

I don't think I can go to the hospital
with you because of the lecture.

I'm sorry.

I'm just a cancer patient, not a kid.

- I can take a taxi.
- Okay.

Is there anything you want to eat
for dinner?

I'm going to stop by the supermarket
on my way home.

Tangsuyuk.

I want to eat tangsuyuk
with a sauce that has pineapples in it.

I kind of crave it.

You can't even finish this juice,
and you want tangsuyuk?

I will finish it.
I'm just drinking it slowly.

But if I make it,
I'll end up throwing it away.

But you asked me
about what I wanted to eat.

So I said what I wanted to eat.

What I meant was...

to choose something
you could digest easily.

I didn't read your deep meaning. Sorry.

Please don't speak like that.

I'm trying my best, though.

I said sorry. Don't pick a fight.

Fine.

It's my bad. Sorry.

Then, make me pine nut porridge.

I apologized.

I mean it.

I wanted to eat
nutty pine nut porridge too.

Do you like to cook?

Actually,

I'm an extremely lazy person.

My wish is...

to live my life
getting room service at a hotel.

I just need to push a bell,

and I get whatever I want.

The luxurious hotel life.

Come to think of it, in order to cook,

you should go out
to find good ingredients first.

Then, you should prepare
the ingredients well.

And you should use
proper cooking utensils, control heat,

and follow the recipe.

After eating, you should do the dishes...

and organize the ingredients left.
And it's never easy.

I'm such a lazy person...

who wishes to lead a luxurious hotel life.

How could I ever like to cook?

- But I've read your blog,
- Yes.

but it was all about cooking.

So that means you're doing
what you don't really like, then?

Oh, well.

Cooking...

for someone else makes you
feel really good, actually.

And posting on the blog is also nice.

And reading the comments
my friends left...

also makes me quite happy as well.

Then, your life at a hotel
won't come true.

Maybe, it won't.

That's just my wish.

Most wishes...

don't come true, as you all know.

There are two types of anticancer drugs.

The cell-cycle-specific drug works only
for the cells in the specific stage.

On the other hand,

the cell-cycle-non-specific drug
kills cancer cells...

regardless of their dividing stage.

These anticancer drugs...

interrupt the synthesis of DNA and RNA
and mitosis...

or have a harmful effect
on the DNA molecules.

That's how they kill the cancer cells.

But chemotherapy...

affects not only the cancer cells...

but also the normal cells
that actively divide and multiply,

like mucous membranes
in the gastrointestinal tract,

hair, marrow,
and the cells in the reproductive system.

The student over there!

Yes?

Me?

I don't think I've seen you before.

You're not in our department, are you?

I've never seen a student
who majors in photography...

sitting in on a class at a medical school.

I don't know what your intention is,
but it's a waste of time.

My mom is sick.

It must be cancer.

Then, you should trust her doctor
and help her get treated well.

But attending a class here won't...

So whatever I do...

won't help her recover from cancer,
you mean?

Well, that's not something I can answer.

But nobody gives me an answer.

Cancer isn't like a cold
that you can get well by eating well...

and getting rest.

We should try everything we can.

What if my mom really...

Are Asian lizard's tails...

really effective?

I heard that if it's used with agrimony,

it could reduce late-stage cancer cells
by 80 to 90 percent.

Have you also heard of it?

I know it's not easy for you.

- Sorry?
- When you were getting chemo,

I was getting the same next to you.

You had your eyes closed,
so I thought you were sleeping.

So I couldn't talk to you.

I see.

How many times have you gotten the chemo?

I think it was my third.

So you've just started.

It was my seventh.

Did you get surgery?

Not yet.

It feels unbearable at first,

but as time goes by,
it somehow gets bearable.

It'll be best
if you don't have to get surgery.

Then, I'll see you again.

All right.

I hope to see you again.

I wish you the best.

(Home remedy for colorectal cancer)

Sir, can I change my destination?

Jae Ho?

(Da Jung)

Pour the right amount of water
and soak the rice in water...

for over an hour and steam it.

Including the water, I always have
to prepare everything in advance.

A cup of germinated brown rice...

and a cup of mixed red beans,
kidney beans, yellow beans,

and black beans.

And I'll put some Job's tears too.

If you use germinated brown rice,
the texture of the rice gets much softer.

I soaked Phellinus linteus in water
for 12 hours and used it to cook rice.

You can use...

either the chaga mushroom
or Lacquered bracket-soaked water instead.

After you wash the rice,
but before you close the lid,

if you add linseed and turmeric powder,
it becomes very healthy.

This is what I repeat
whenever I cook rice.

The tree without a tomb doesn't have
an owner yet,

so take time to look around
and tell us if you find a spot you like.

You were born in the same year as me.

Are you okay?

I'm just out of my breath.

If it's too hard,
we don't have to climb to the top.

Wait a minute.

I just need a short break.

Stop.

Just stop there.

It's hard for me too.

Let's have a break.

We don't need to hurry. It's not like
someone is waiting for us up there.

We can take a break anytime we want.

And we'll be at the top in the end.

Here.

I'm home.

Hi.

Where's Mom?

I came from my lecture,
and she wasn't home.

I think she went to work.

Okay.

Jae Ho,

can I use your laptop?

I have to send emails,
but my laptop is broken.

You can send emails using your phone.

Can I insert my portable drive
into my phone?

Okay. You can use mine.

Wait here.

Okay. Thanks.

Yes, Hye Young.

I'm near your place.

How about a cup of coffee?

I had a business.

But I need you to come to pick me up.

Where am I?

Where I am is...

Da Jung,

why did you go there...

(Way,
the genuine way to find peace in nature)

Now you even go there
to choose your grave site?

When I went to your place
to give you the book,

I happened to see the sign,
so I just went there to look around.

What are you talking about?

Does Writer Kang know that you went there?

Of course not.

He's striving with recipes to feed me.

He wouldn't have come with me
even if I'd suggested him.

Are you okay?

You don't have to say anything.

It's because I'm not okay.

I went to a mountain
for the first time in a while.

The woodland burial site is located
at the foot of the mountain,

so it's quite steep.

I sweated a lot, my legs hurt,

and I felt thirsty too.

I wanted to give up in the middle
so many times.

But when I reached my limit,

something that allowed me
to reach the top of the mountain...

wasn't my strong will or determination...

but...

a half piece of sweet yakgwa.

Yakgwa?

What are you talking about?

I'm having coffee with you
for the first time in a while,

and I feel refreshed so much.

Why don't we have a slice of cake?

I want something sweet.

(Home remedy for colorectal cancer,
Good tea and food for colorectal cancer)

Marinated radish,

marinated wild chive,
and stir-fried zucchini.

The failed side dishes
I couldn't even give to my family...

and the ones I made too much,
although they liked them.

I decided to put them all
and eat them at once.

The brass bowl bibimbap is
the best menu to clean the fridge.

(Jae Ho)

(Jae Ho, I made bibimbap.
Do you want some too?)

It's just us, two men,

so let's just eat together from one bowl.

Jae Ho.

About your laptop.

I need a laptop only when I write,

so how about I use yours,

and you get a new one?

You can get a new one.

I'm okay.

Okay.

Thanks to your mom,

we're having a healthy meal too.

- Dad.
- Yes?

About Asian lizard's tails...

Have you heard of it?

Why do you ask?

I heard it was good for cancer patients.

I see.

Okay.

You're a part of the family,

so you must be very worried
about your mom.

I'm sorry that we tried to deal with it
without sharing it with you.

I know that I can't be of help.

But...

What are you saying? No way.

Your mom knows
how much you care about her too.

Instead of sticking
with the hospital treatment,

if there are other ways,
we should try them too.

- Like Asian lizard's tails?
- Yes.

Have you ever seen Asian lizard's tails?

I looked it up on the internet.

It said if you ate it with agrimony...

Agrimony's scientific name
is agrimonia pilosa,

but it's not in season yet.

Still, I'm going to order it,
as it will sprout pretty soon.

Then, how about Asian lizard's tails?

That's what we are eating now.

They say its first taste is a bit pungent,

but I can't really tell.
Maybe because it's mixed with other stuff.

Let's see.

This is the famous Phellinus linteus,

and this is chaga mushroom.

And...

mistletoes...

and plantago seeds.

I just realized that these are all bitter.

It must've been torture to your mom.

Jae Ho.

I'll take charge of the bitter side,

so why don't you take the sweet side?

- The sweet side?
- Yes.

As much as treatment,

your mom needs consolation.

So if you show her
how cheerfully and positively you live,

she'll gain lots of energy.

You're late.

Are you having dinner already?

Yes.

- It's an early dinner.
- It is.

What is that you're hiding?

It's nothing. It's cake.

If you finished your dinner,
have it as dessert.

Isn't it for yourself?

I'm going to eat pine nut porridge.
Make it for me.

Okay.

I only took a bite!

For the one who is enduring...

the painful treatment
that she doesn't know when will end...

and for the ones
who are trying to help her...

while watching her by her side,

we all need some sweet consolation.

(We all need some sweet consolation.)

(It's an emergency.)

Gosh.

It's really working.

What are you doing?

What if it doesn't work
when I'm really in pain?

So I tested it in advance.

You scared me.

Give it to me.

Do not play a trick like this!

If you're that worried about me,
bring your pillow and sleep with me.

Do not think you can fool me twice.

When I was getting treatment,

I hit upon a good idea about a book.

Okay.

You're ruining the mood
by bringing up work again.

The idea is still rough,

so I'll tell you when it becomes solid.

Don't you think about dragging me
into it, anyway.

- We'll have to see.
- In your dreams.

Right. Is there anything
you want to eat tomorrow?

Tangsuyuk.

Seriously.

Let me see. Then...

I'll have to buy pork sirloin,
cucumbers, and bell peppers.

Yes. And put pineapples into the sauce.

Sure. I'll put everything you want.
