Original subtitles

What? I will die?

-Who's going to die? -Ma'am.

You have no manners at all. Who are you to curse me?

How dare you say that I'll die? You rude brat.

-Ma'am. -Oh my goodness.

-Please stop. -Who do you think you are?

-Who's going to die? -Ma'am, please stop.

-Ma'am. Stop it, please. -Tell me.

-Is that true? -Of course.

Come on.

Please come with me, okay? Calm down.

What was that? What did you do?

-Gosh. -What did he say to her?

He'll pay her double the fortune-telling fee.

-What? -My goodness.

Is money all that matters even to a shaman?

Everything is about money.

It's not surprising for a shaman to like money.

How much do you think is the fortune-telling fee?

-She's really good. -Is she?

She knew Dr. Song's mother died as soon as she saw her.

Goodness, that must mean it's expensive.

I'd spend 30,000 won for that.

I'd spend 50,000 won.

You're supposed to be working.

The patients are watching you. Aren't you embarrassed?

You don't have to get upset.

Nurse Yoo, come with me to the doctor's office.

Here. Have some cold water first.

What's this?

Is this how you're going to compensate me?

I just want you to relax.

You'll let me examine you, right?

Gosh, look at this boy.

You lured me with money, and now you want to examine me.

You have to be healthy to tell fortunes.

The spirits seem to be on your side these days.

You even predicted the fire at Mr. Kim's house.

Gosh.

What is this? How do you know so much about me?

Did you do a background check or something?

Maybe your spiritual power got passed on to me.

-You silly brat. -Let me listen to your chest.

Gosh,

you're so unlucky with girls.

Your first love

broke your heart, didn't she?

Did she trouble you and just leave?

Gosh, I feel bad for you.

The next girl won't be easy to get either.

-Call in the next patient. -You don't need to do that.

Just take a rest.

You can go back first if you can catch a ship.

You don't need to be considerate of me.

I'm not an amateur who can't work

just because of a rude patient.

I'm not doing this because of the patient.

You're taking your anger out on patients instead of treating them.

We don't need a doctor like that.

What do you mean?

Is it because they're nonsurgical patients?

You have to be a star to go back, but you need to operate to be a star.

Does it annoy you

that you're only getting nonsurgical patients with chronic diseases?

-It's not like that. -Then what?

Is it because of your mother?

Your mother who didn't know she was sick

and let herself get sicker.

-Mr. Chu. -On top of that,

-you couldn't even help her. -Are you done?

Are you angry at your mother for making you feel guilty?

Is that why you're taking your anger out on the patients?

My gosh.

There is no point of doing these things.

Boy.

Don't say

anything to me.

Ma'am.

Don't say anything, and just give me the medicine.

The surgeon was right. You need to go to a bigger hospital.

-Get a thorough checkup and-- -Forget it.

You're both in cahoots. How dare you and that other doctor tease

an elderly like this. What a load of crap.

-Ma'am. -Ma'am, I need to wipe this off.

I don't need it.

Ma'am?

-Get the emergency kit. -Okay.

Ma'am.

Doctor.

Doctor?

What's wrong?

What are you doing?

Dr. Song, we need you.

Nurse Yoo, call the Coast Guard

and call an ambulance to the dock.

Dr. Song, this is huge, considering it's your first day back.

-Where to? -Intensive Care.

I called an internal medicine doctor for an endoscopic operation.

-Thanks. -Sure.

You can do it.

You can easily do it.

This is nothing.

Hyun, it's Dad.

What about him?

What happened?

He tried to run away again. The staff barely got him back.

As you can see, the sedative knocked him out.

Why are you here?

I asked her to come with me and check on Dad.

To do something if he's sane.

-To do what? -To have him walk me down the aisle.

My in-laws want us to get married after Dad returns from abroad.

They want to postpone the wedding so my famous dad can walk me in.

They said they would wait as long as they need to.

-You didn't tell them? -I couldn't. I was too embarrassed.

Shall I tell them he's dead?

-Ji-eun. -You brat.

You shouldn't say that even if you hate him.

Stay out of this, Mom.

I wish I could tell everyone you were dead too.

-What? -Only a lunatic would

date someone else in this situation.

Do you still need to play the dating game at your age?

-Hey! -What?

Will you please stop it?

-What will you do? -I'll come up with an excuse.

So keep Dad hidden away.

Or I might end up dying before any of you.

You're awake.

Who...

Who are you?

It's me, Hyeon.

I'm your son.

Where are we?

This is your hometown.

Don't you remember?

You treated people here for nearly ten years.

I used to

treat people here?

Yes.

You worked hard.

Because of you, Father, children's lives were saved,

and many people were prevented from being disabled.

And some were inspired to become doctors.

Do you remember

who became a doctor?

Can you remember?

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

Is that the patient you brought into the ER?

Yes.

How is it? Is it manageable?

It's great.

Cirrhosis? It's quite serious.

A transplant is the only cure.

She'll be high on the waiting list.

But wouldn't waiting for a brain-dead donor

take too long?

We must find a donor.

Receiving a transplant from a living donor is the best bet.

We stopped the bleeding with an endoscopic operation

and took her off intubation as she started to breathe on her own.

As soon as she's stable, I'll speak with a family member.

Okay.

Where am I?

Gosh. Why did you stick all these things into me?

You're in the emergency room.

You are in poor condition.

Did I cough up blood?

-You remember. -Take these out of me.

All of this must cost a fortune.

I can't do that.

You can't?

-Call a family member. -I don't have any.

-Ms. Park. -Get these out of me.

You need to be admitted for treatment.

You need a liver transplant as soon as you're stable. If not--

What? You're going to tell me again that I'll die?

-Ms. Park O-wol. -I don't have a family.

Even if I did, I can't ask anyone for their liver.

So shut up and take these out.

Are you deaf?

Take these off me. Take these off right now!

Okay then.

-Bring the waiver. -Yes, Doctor.

What's that?

It's a waiver you must sign, saying that you refused treatment

and won't hold us responsible for what happens after this moment.

Sign it.

Why are you back? You didn't go to Seoul?

What are you doing here?

Don't you have work tomorrow?

If there's someone present,

they don't have to tie him down.

I'll stay.

I might as well stay the night

since I'm already here.

Do you at least feel bad for Dad?

It's for you.

It's for you, not him.

If I weren't here, you would stay up all night and go straight to work.

If you get into trouble again like last time...

Are you okay?

Is everything okay at the hospital ship?

You should go.

Get up and go.

-What's the point of doing this? -Mom.

He was always away without any consideration for us.

And all he does now is damage your career.

-Why do you care about him? -It's not because of Dad.

Why are you so spineless?

How can you side with your father in this situation?

If he hadn't fled that night,

you wouldn't have had to search for him all night long,

and you wouldn't have gotten in trouble.

-Everything is-- -I'm leaving.

You brat.

Hyeon.

Are you

all right?

Is everything really okay with you?

This is the emergency room.

Is there a patient who was admitted from the hospital ship today?

Do you mean Ms. Park O-wol?

Yes. May I ask how she is?

She's been discharged.

Discharged?

Isn't Dr. Song Eun-jae there?

She's the one who discharged her.

Does it hurt?

The examination didn't show any serious problems, but since you still feel pain,

let's take an X-ray of your waist.

Let's talk.

Why was she discharged?

She has cirrhosis and esophageal varices--

-She wanted to leave. -So you just let her go?

-You should have persuaded her. -How?

How could I make her stay when she signed the waiver?

Should I just tie her to the bed?

-She was discharged? -Yes.

Please give me her contact information and any other relevant contacts.

I'll ask around.

Let's keep each other updated.

My goodness, what a stubborn old lady.

Gosh.

Isn't this her place?

Excuse me, Shaman.

Are you home?

You haven't found her yet?

She definitely didn't take the last boat.

In case she took a fishing boat,

I even checked her place.

I see. Thank you for your help.

Please call me if she returns.

Okay, thank you.

-What is this? -Please order it.

I'll receive it.

Are you planning to give the injection to her in person?

We should alleviate her condition first.

That'll give her more time.

This isn't necessary.

We're only responsible for in-house patients.

We can't be responsible for all the patients in this world.

I'll be waiting.

The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.

Gosh, where is she?

-Here you go. -Thank you.

Here are two bottles of soju.

-Thank you. -Enjoy.

-Thank you. -This is great.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

-See you again. -Goodbye.

-Could you hurry with our octopus? -Okay, please wait a moment.

Cheers.

Why are you here?

Do you always

work so late?

It's none of your business. Why do you care?

Goodness. Of course I care. I'm your mom.

Why don't you advertise it?

Do you want a microphone?

Do you want everyone to know that I'm a shaman's daughter?

That's not what I want.

I just...

I just wanted...

to see you and say hello.

What if he sees you here?

Are you...

that ashamed of me?

Of course I am.

You roll your eyes and pass out, claiming you're possessed.

You dance on a straw cutter with knives in your mouth.

Did you think I would be happy and just join you?

Go. Just leave

and don't ever come back.

How is the preparation for your wedding?

Why do you care? Are you thinking of coming to my wedding?

Don't you dare come.

-Listen, Seon-hwa. -Please.

Please leave me alone, Mom.

When I moved here ten years ago,

I abandoned everything.

I abandoned my home, my hometown, and my mother,

-so please-- -Okay, I understand.

I understand what you mean. So just...

Here. Take this.

-What is it? -Well,

to prepare for a wedding,

you need to spend a lot of money on this and that.

-I don't need it. -Take it.

I may stand out, but money doesn't.

It's the money I earned as a shaman,

but no one will know that.

So keep it and use it, okay?

My goodness.

BANKBOOK

Why are you still here?

I need the medicine.

I can bring it to the dormitory.

You don't have a ride, right?

Please get in.

Come on.

Do you feel sorry?

Is that why you're doing this for the patient?

You can't make up for your mistake by following her around.

-Doctor. -Why do you struggle every time

during intubation?

Were you in an accident?

Have you been in a car accident or injured in a way

that was fatal?

-No. -Did you cause trouble?

You should stop.

Did you make a fatal mistake with a patient? Is that why...

Not everyone is like you.

Fine. You're always impressive.

You're objective and agile.

Even after your mother suddenly died,

you remained calm and competent. That's impressive of you,

but not everyone is like you.

Not everyone can be like you.

Are you finished?

Let's go. I'm tired.

Nice going.

What's the matter with you?

What kind of woman stays out this late with a guy?

I'm sorry, but there seems to be a misunderstanding.

You should go in, Doctor.

-But-- -I'll talk to her myself.

What brings you here?

I never thought something like this would happen.

I can't believe I had to hear news about my own niece on TV.

You moved to a place so near to mine.

Didn't you think maybe you should visit?

Aren't you even curious

about where your mom lived?

You have time to hang out with a guy all night,

but you can't spare a minute to get your mom's keepsakes?

Look at you.

You have your nose high in the clouds.

You're standing still with your mouth shut,

and you think everything is beneath you.

What? What are you staring at?

What's so great about you?

You're a doctor, but you killed your own mother.

Throughout her funeral,

you didn't even shed a tear for your late mother.

Am I wrong? If you have something to say, say it.

You're not going to say anything?

These are...

They belong to your mom.

I cleared away her blankets and clothes, and these were the only things left.

Eun-jae, I don't want to see you ever again.

This is exhausting.

-Here. Take this. -Okay.

GEOJE 505

Gosh, thank you.

You're late.

Take it.

What's this for?

If it's about what happened early this morning...

I'm so dumb. I forgot about it already.

You seem to be mistaken.

I just bought this for myself

and got one more for free.

Hello.

-It's good to see you, Mr. Seol. -Hello.

-How are you all? -Hello.

-Welcome. -Hello.

-It's nice to see you. -Sir.

Goodness. You look much better.

-I'm well now. -Good.

Sir.

Mr. Seol.

You've been doing this through wind, rain, and snow for years. How long has it been?

Good question. I stopped counting after 30 years.

I got sick of counting.

You used to bring the kids in a fishing boat.

Now you can use a motorboat like this. What an age we live in.

Very true.

-Teacher. -Teacher.

Hello.

Don't run, kids. You'll trip.

-Hello. -Be careful now.

All right, Ye-seung. Let's get in the boat.

-All right. -Watch your step.

Wait, let me get on first. Good.

Be careful, kids.

-Bye. -See you.

-Take care, Mr. Seol. -We'll be back.

We'll see you later.

Don't you worry.

SOMANG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Let's go, kids.

Hello, Mr. Seol.

Hello.

You made it.

Goodness. You're all here already?

We're here to give physical examinations.

Stay for some noodles when you're done.

They caught so many clams yesterday.

Can we?

It looks like

we have some new doctors on the hospital ship.

Say hello to the doctors.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Dr. Song Eun-jae is a surgeon. -Hello.

-I'm Cha Jun-young, a dentist. -Hi.

-And-- -Dr. Kwak Hyeon from Internal Medicine.

-How could you? -Have you been well?

Why didn't you ever come and visit me?

Sorry.

Do you know each other?

He's my best friend's son.

Do you mean Dr. Kwak Seong is...

Yes, Kwak Seong. He grew up here.

Kwak Seong?

That's right. The legendary surgeon, Kwak Seong.

Is your dad still reluctant to come back to Korea?

Yes, he still is.

Gosh, that old man is still going strong.

Let's all go inside.

Come with us.

-Come along. -Let's go inside.

-Hey, don't run. -I won't.

Oh dear.

Step up on this.

It doesn't hurt at all.

-Really? -Yes.

You're 136 centimeters and 44 kilograms.

Did you have a big breakfast?

Hey, come on. You need to share.

What does your dad do? You little...

Open wide.

SOMANG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Did it hurt?

-All right. -Good job.

You're very healthy, Da-yeon.

Listen to your teacher, okay?

Good girl.

It's your turn. What's your name?

-Kim Jin-woo. -Jin-woo. Does it hurt anywhere?

Good boy.

I'll listen to your lungs. Breathe in deeply.

Breathe in.

Dr. Kim.

You must have a lot of free time today, since the others are at the school.

Yes.

Your coffee smells great.

Does it?

What kind of a reaction is that?

You should've said, "Would you like a cup?"

Or maybe, "Shall I make you some?"

Isn't that what a normal man would say?

I'm astonished you find dates at clubs.

I should act like I'm in a club when I'm at work?

You're a bit odd today.

What?

Is that what it sounded like?

-Gosh, no. -Right?

It sounds like he just wants you to be quiet.

He doesn't want to hear an old woman nag.

Captain.

Hello?

What?

Who?

You won't treat me?

It's not that I won't. I can't.

We can't cure cirrhosis on the hospital ship.

I'm not asking to be cured.

I won't even ask to live longer.

I just need

to last for one more month.

Why don't you ask the spirits for help then?

Hey, boy.

Who's the guy that's following you around?

He looks a lot like you.

He's dressed in blue

and has a wound on his forehead.

How did you know my brother has a wound on his forehead?

He's standing right next to you.

He has something he must say to you.

How about it? Will you help me out?

I'm starving.

Come on in. I warmed up the soup for you.

Was there a lot to do? You're late for lunch.

-Have you eaten? -Yes. Enjoy.

Nurse Pyo.

Did Ms. Park O-wol call anyone on the ship?

Why? She did.

She did?

The Korean medicine doctor went right over when she called.

-Jae-geol went? -Why would that prickly jerk--

Why would a doctor see a patient other than to treat her?

He took his needles and a lot of medicine.

Where are you going? You need to eat.

I warmed up the soup for you guys.

What are you doing?

Step away from my patient.

Who's your patient?

Did you hear that? She chose me.

So you'll feed her this?

Do you know how dangerous herb medicine is to cirrhosis patients?

There are many theses on the benefits of medicinal herbs to the liver.

-Dr. Kim. -Of course,

I won't give her the medicine right away.

First, I'll treat her nausea with acupuncture.

Cirrhosis patients are prone to getting infections.

Performing acupuncture out in the open--

Do you think I wouldn't take precautions against infections?

More than anything, cirrhosis patients are likely to bleed out.

What are you worried about?

The needles are only 0.2 millimeters in diameter,

and I'm sticking them into capillaries that are 0.01mm wide.

It won't lead to excessive bleeding.

The width of the vein doesn't determine whether the bleeding stops.

It depends on whether the patient has blood coagulation factors.

Will you both stop it? I feel dizzy.

Anyway, what the patient wants right now isn't a cure.

She wants allopathic treatment.

Her nausea and vomiting are the worst at the moment.

So you'll go ahead with your unscientific acupuncture treatment?

Unscientific?

So you just call it unscientific if you don't fully understand it?

Stop the treatment right now.

That's just nonsense.

-Dr. Kwak. -Hyeon.

-What do you think? -What do you think?

I hope the patient gets better soon.

More than anything,

having two doctors fight in front of a patient

contributes nothing towards her treatment.

Yes. I agree with him wholeheartedly.

All three of you can get lost.

Can you send them away and let me stay?

I brought this.

No, I must stay.

I must take out the needles and finish our conversation.

I told you all to get out of here.

Being around you will cause more illnesses I don't have.

Please leave.

Get out of here now.

Gosh. She's just helpless.

Why is she making this so difficult?

She just needs a transplant.

Her circumstances won't allow that.

What do you mean?

Her daughter is about to get married.

If she had the money for surgery, she'd rather give it to her.

I mean, what nonsense is that?

Isn't that level of maternal love basically a disease?

Why did you come back?

Do you think she'll thank you?

Do you think your daughter would dance with joy

if you give your all to last just until the wedding?

What are you saying?

You save every cent instead of getting an operation

to pay for her dowry and travel for hours by bus and boat to do things for her.

Look.

Even if you go through the excruciating pain of childbirth for her,

she won't be grateful.

She wouldn't be thankful at all.

-How dare you-- -She takes it for granted.

That's what all moms are

expected to do.

You evil bitch. Will you shut your mouth?

-Is it unfair? -Yes.

It's so unfair that I can't stand it. So what?

If that's how you feel,

give her time.

Give her time until she realizes she shouldn't take her mom for granted

so that she can...

thank you for once in her life.

Even if it's just once.

Wait until she's able to thank her own mother.

Give your daughter

some time.

Get a transplant.

You can live if you do.

Forget about it. You should go.

-Ma'am. -Whether I make it is

up to the spirits.

I don't need you to interfere.

Now leave me alone.

Are you frustrated?

Do you want to save Ms. Park?

I know of a good way.

What is it?

Must we go so early in the morning?

-Yes. -Why?

-I'm just too curious. -About what?

When will fate bring me my spouse?

-What are you talking about? -Don't you get it?

That prickly jerk Jae-geol took his needles and medicine

to treat the woman.

What else could that mean?

-She's good at telling fortunes? -Bingo. She's very good.

-Let's take this chance. -Got it. Let's go, Doctor.

TICKET OFFICE

It's closed. They're not open.

Let's wait a bit.

MY MOTHER

A FLOWER

SOMANG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

ON THE ROAD, THAT TREE...

THE FLOWERS FALL, THE BIRDS CRY

Are you there, Mr. Seol?

What brings you here so early in the morning?

There's something we need to ask you.

Is that so? Come in.

Come on in, Dr. Song.

What would you like to know?

You've worked here for 40 years,

so most of the residents on the islands must be your students.

That goes without saying.

Do you know

Ms. Park O-wol from Bam Island?

-She's Seon-hwa's mother. -Her daughter's name is Seon-hwa?

Please give us her contact number.

Why do you ask?

The thing is...

CLASS 23 OF SOMANG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Let's see.

This is Seon-hwa.

We lost touch after she left the island ten years ago.

She was best friends with Yoo-jeong here.

You can get in touch with her to find out.

Is anyone home?

Ms. Park? I mean, Shaman?

Doctor. Doctor, look.

STREET BAR

Are you the one who called me?

-Yes. -What is this about?

I came to give you a chance.

I lost my chance,

but you still have your chance, Seon-hwa.

What do you mean?

Hyeon, we have an emergency!

Is the intensive care room ready?

Dr. Kim, come with us.

We will now begin

Ms. Park O-wol's liver transplant.

Scalpel.

GEOJE JEIL HOSPITAL

Where is this? Where am I?

Where do you think it is?

Since you're here,

I guess I'm not dead yet.

From now on,

believe in doctors instead of the spirits.

If you take care of yourself,

you'll not only make it to your daughter's wedding,

but you'll also see your grandson getting married.

By the way,

until when...

are you going stop staring at the box?

You're just going to stare at it

and end up burying it?

The one who has passed...

told me she can't...

rest in peace.

She said it's too sad to watch you.

That's why

she can't rest in peace.

Did Mom...

Did Mom say that?

Can you...

see her?

Do you see my mom?

Mom.

But...

But you're getting married soon.

Why are you...

Seon-hwa.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

I'm sorry.

-My baby. -I'm sorry.

MY BOOK OF RECIPES FOR EUN-JAE

My Book of Recipes for Eun-jae.

To a daughter who will start to love one day.

From a bad mother who took away

her time to love.

SEAWEED SOUP

Seaweed soup tastes of birth.

If you want to turn over a new leaf,

how about some clam seaweed soup?

It's raining.

I made some seafood and green onion pancakes.

I bought makgeolli to drink with your aunt,

and it keeps reminding me of you.

You always drank as if the alcohol tasted sweet.

But you shouldn't drink too much.

Beef bone soup has the taste of patience.

The longer you wait,

the richer and tastier it gets.

My busy daughter.

You're always pressed for time, right?

You always cut me off when I talk.

I often scolded you for being rude,

but I'm okay.

You can do that to me.

You can cut me off

and grumble at me.

But when you marry someone

and have your own child in the future,

please try to hear them out.

It's even better if you look them in their eyes as you listen to them.

If you look at someone's eyes and listen to their breathing,

you'll notice things you couldn't notice before.

They might say they're fine,

but that's not how they really feel.

I say everything is okay,

but truthfully...

The truth is...

Mom.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I'm sorry.

Mom, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Is she here? The woman I'm meant to be with.

Can you see her?

I can't see her.

What do I do?

It looks like...

I lost my ability after the surgery.

What did my brother say?

I don't hear anything.
