EPISODE 11
Cheon Yeon-su,
what do you think love is?
Hear well?
No.
Willing to share star candy?
No.
Then, miss every day?
Not that either.
So what?
Love is
Always by your side.
Like this?
Correct.
And also, hug tightly.
Holding hands is also okay.
Is it true?
What a bear.
I don't want to!
I want to be replaced!
So what
with Number Three?
Why am I Number Three?
We won the horse jumping game
also because of me.
My strength is also stronger compared to
Han-woo and Seung-eon.
You're a bear!
We are family! Gang-hee Family.
Have you ever seen the sequence?
siblings change?
Seung-on is number one because he lives
with me since the age of seven.
Han-woo is number two because he plays
with me since the age of eight.
And you, change schools
at the age of nine.
Then how can I be
Number One?
Because I want to be
number one for you.
Who knows.
I don't know!
Hey!
Words of love
It turns out it was said
when you are going to leave.
Yeon-soo
So
Don't
Please do not
I love you.
I love you, Yeon-su.
HANA LARGE ANIMAL CLINIC
You said you love it
hugging each other.
Holding each other's hands.
Things you already know
when I was ten years old,
why don't you know now?
Don't be like this, Yeon-su.
We both can't go back
to the time of the accident.
No, I don't care.
Can't we just
thinking about ourselves?
Indeed, if you say you don't care,
Will my sins be erased?
If you say you love me,
hug me, hold my hand,
everything will be forgotten?
Your deceased mother and father,
will come back to life?
Don't make me
increasingly tortured, Yeon-su.
Okay, it's up to you.
But remember this one thing.
No matter how much you avoid it,
nothing will change.
You will come back again.
And I will always
waiting for you here.

RESIGNATION LETTER
Gang-hee!
I have registered it
first.
We are both hospital colleagues.
See, right?
I told you I could come by myself.
Hello, this is Ji Chun-pil.
Good.
Wait here.
It doesn't matter.
THERE IS A DISORDER OF BONE MARROW FUNCTION,
LEUKEMIA, OR OTHER BLOOD DISEASES
FURTHER TESTING REQUIRED
The results were not good.
Is it appearing again?
Patient's guardian?
Yes, I am his son.
For now,
your father needs to be treated.
I have to live
chemotherapy again, right?
Right, there is no other choice
besides chemotherapy.
INPATIENT REGISTRATION FORM
This.
Okay, that's enough.
Thank You.
UNCLE CHUN-PIL
The number you are calling is currently inactive,
please leave a voice message
You've done it before
confession of sin?
In the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
May God enlighten our hearts,
and with full confidence,
we entrust ourselves to His mercy.
Honestly admit your sins
what you have done so far.
My heart is stronger than
other pastors.
I will hear all your confessions,
and keep your secrets.
Is God
will forgive all my sins
as long as I confess my sins?
Of course.
I killed people.
I killed my mother
and Yeon-su's father.
And I just forgot everything.
For 20 years.
And I love Yeon-su too.
Can I be forgiven too?
Can you also forgive?
someone like me?
Do you know how to surrender?
I've already found out
and only something like this comes out.
EMBROIDERY
(SIMILAR PRONUNCIATION OF SURRENDER)
Please open the door.
How do you want?
surrender himself?
Do you have any proof?
That doll you put in,
It's gone, right?
The car accident?
It must have been destroyed.
And also, how old were you then?
You are still small.
Your memories come back
after 20 years,
how can we be sure
if it is a fact or not?
You just want to punish
on yourself.
You didn't talk to Yeon-su,
you end it all and run away.
Even if you have to be punished, wouldn't you?
Yeon-su should be the one to punish you?
Apologize or accept punishment,
shouldn't you talk about it?
with Yeon-su?
GANG HEE
Yeon-soo.
Chun-pil is diagnosed with blood cancer.
three years ago.
And he also did chemotherapy
up to 12 times.
I have no idea at all.
I also had cancer surgery at that time.
Tarzan?
Hepburn?
Hello?
- Hello.
- Hello.
Have you heard?
if we meet
in the classic film lovers community?
Even though I was very scared and lonely
with my activities at the hospital.
I'm so excited to meet you
with you, Tarzan.
Me too. Our clothes are like a couple,
and hang out together.
Feels like it could last.
Let's be hospital friends.
Until we have our guardian
each,
we must always be together
to the hospital.
If you can
Let's stop at the hospital.
When my chemotherapy is finished this time,
I don't want to do it anymore.
I thought he was joking at the time.
Looks like he's serious.
If he doesn't want to seek treatment anymore.
I can't beat Chun-pil.
So, Yeon-su, please persuade him.
Where is he now?
The night view here
very cool.
At first I wanted to spend
Christmas is here this year.
Yeon-su, Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas first.
Merry Christmas, Uncle.
I've decided, Yeon-su.
Decide what?
I have to change cars.
This summer I will change
by camping car.
Suddenly?
I will visit
all the places I can reach.
And in an unknown place,
I will disappear there.
That means I have to follow you.
so you can't disappear.
But there's one thing holding me back.
I'm worried
Gang-hee and Seung-eon.
If Gang-hee could maybe
you take care of it.
What about me?
You are like a father to me.
Why did you
not worried about me?
I'm not the one holding you back?
Uncle,
can't you follow
chemotherapy treatment?
Or
At least take care of it first
I don't fit into a patient's gown.
What do you mean?
When you wear a patient's gown,
the moment your place is on the road
become a model stage.
That's because you are my fan.
I'm your child, not your fan.
You know how many
memories we made together?
When I said your guitar was cool,
you taught me to play guitar.
When I complained to you
because my friends don't want to
workout with me
because I'm fat,
you invite me to play football
and basketball together.
You talk too much.
Until you say you will
receive treatment,
just so you know,
I will not give up.
If I do chemotherapy,
My hair is all falling out.
I've worked hard
working on my hair.
Gang-hee must not find out.
So far there is none
what I did for him.
And he recently started
can smile.
I don't want to make things difficult for him.
Gang-hee doesn't smile.
He is in a very difficult situation right now.
So, you have to survive.
I ask.
I will take care of you
replacing Gang-hee.
I don't want to cause you any trouble either.
I'm not having any trouble at all.
No matter how much you avoid it,
nothing will change.
You will come back again.
And I will
always waiting for you here.
I'm sorry, Yeon-su
Forgive me.
Good morning.
Yeon-su is there?
Maybe he's out?
Did he come home last night?
May be?
Mister Kwon, you are lacking
responsibility in work.
Impossible.
Brother Gang-hee!
Yeon-su is there?
Didn't you guys go to Seoul together?
He said he asked permission to go.
a few days because of business.
According to me,
he went for a job interview.
What job interview?
He continues to look for job vacancies
as a veterinary researcher.
But I think
he has already conveyed it to you.
HANA LIVESTOCK CLINIC
GANG HEE
Doctor Yoon.
Excuse me.
He's not here?
Nan Woo.
He's not there.
I can't do it at all
meet Han-woo.
I should have followed your words
when you said don't interfere.
I'm so embarrassed.
Why?
Han-woo even thanks you.
Is it true?
I would be grateful if he was me too.
You worry about me,
run and hold me.
Thank goodness you think like that.
You have finished
all your feelings for Yeon-su?
Why does it have to be resolved?
Of course it's not finished yet.
For me, Doctor Cheon is
You could say he's an idol.
Past, present,
and in the future,
I will continue to respect
and support it.
Then what about Han-woo?
Do you like him?
Am I
Can I like him?
Why not?
Can I?
Don't know.
Now is not the time for me to interfere.
other people's love problems.
I have so many problems myself.
Wow, who?
I've told you everything.
I won't say
to Doctor Cheon.
To Brother Han-woo too.
Hey, you like Doctor Yoon, right?
What?
You are so obvious.
No, it's not like that.
Just keep in touch
Huh? Han Ah-reum
You got kicked out?
I want to talk to him.
Okay.
Seung-eon, I've decided.
Now it's your turn.
There's something you have to do for me.
What did my mother tell you?
about orphans and junior high school graduates,
I apologize on his behalf.
Forgive me.
For others,
I can't do anything.
But for junior high school graduates,
we can do something.
I have a teacher's certificate.
I will help you
prepare for the equivalency exam.
Just think about it first.
The suitcase
What should I bring?
Excuse me, Uncle.
YEON SU
CAN WE TALK FOR A MIN TODAY?
I WENT TO THE CLINIC, YOU WERE NOT THERE
WHERE ARE YOU, YEON-SU?
Yeon-su, let's meet.
There's something I want to talk about.
Can you please contact me?
if you can call?
It seems like you think I'm selfish.
Please contact me,
I will be waiting for you.
Can we talk for a minute today?
I went to the clinic earlier, you weren't there.
Where are you, Yeon-su?
NUCLEAR RADIOLOGY
PET-CT SCANNING ROOM
Have you come?
Let's take turns.
You go, Yeon-su.
I'm the one who should be here.
I am his family.
Just consider your task done
after registering him for inpatient care.
Leave the rest to me,
his hospital colleagues took care of it.
It doesn't matter.
Go ahead. Don't worry.
I knew you would be like this,
so I bought it.
Yeon-su still can't be reached?
Responsible Ji!
The vet has arrived.
Hope you can find your adopter
before the weather gets colder.
I'm sorry I didn't care about you.
Yeon-soo,
why are you hard to contact?
Don't let Gang-hee know.
I don't want to make things difficult for him.
I came to say something.
A lot of work
what I have to do.
Later.
We'll talk later.
Why did you come here so quickly?
Maybe he's uncomfortable seeing me.
I'm such a coward.
Want to believe Yeon-su's words
when he said it was no problem.
And when you say I should
overcome it together with Yeon-su,
I want to believe it,
even though it might be a lie.
You said Esther in a minute
leaving for America, right?
Is it okay if you eat alone?
I ordered the one that was still delicious
eaten alone.
What's the secret in this sauce?
It can be addictive.
More than Gang-hee?
Gang-hee says he wants to study.
went abroad with Esther.
I think that's what's best for him too.
And I intend to help him.
Where are you going?
I have to stop it.
With Gang-hee's nature like that,
do you think the feeling will be comfortable
just with him abroad?
We can't let him live.
with guilt
and blames himself
lifetime.
I will go to see him
and said don't run.
I will hold it,
so that he can handle it by my side.
I am ready to experience hardship
and the same suffering,
even more than
that Kang-hee felt.
Study abroad?
Suddenly?
Don't dream.
Min-gu.
Hey, no way.
Go.
If you want to register your marriage,
should go to the civil office.
Why do you always come here?
Not that,
how do i do it if i want to see
history of accident investigation results?
Accident?
What kind?
Our parents' accident.
I want to see what exactly
the cause of the accident.
We have a right to know, right?
Of course there is.
Wait a moment.
For the first time, I have to ask
opened for access.
It can't be immediate.
You also have to write
request document.
Want me to help?
Yes
Wait a moment.
Gang-hee.
I can't bear to leave you alone
in an unclear sense of guilt.
If it's true my father
died because of you,
you should take care of me, hug me,
and support for my father's part too.
Where are you running to?
Nothing is certain yet.
Whatever the outcome,
let's face it together,
while holding my hand,
beside me.
It's cold, right?
How about you?
Are you okay?
Of course.
I'm fine.
Wait a moment.
SEOUL PUREUN HOSPITAL
YOU ARE ALREADY REGISTERED FOR EXAMINATION
Is this the reason you can't be contacted?
Why is this still here?
Be honest with me.
Here's how
Are you sick?
Treated?
Is the disease fatal?
Not me, but someone else.
Who is the other person?
I attended a conference in Seoul.
Then he was hit by a horse,
and his ribs were broken.
And I've experienced it before
the same thing,
so let me give you some suggestions
Just for fun,
I helped him
You.
Can't lie at all.
I do not lie.
I'm fine.
Your job as
large animal vets are very dangerous.
You be careful too.
Don't worry,
I'm the number one doctor here.
Because you are the number one doctor,
So you look for opportunities elsewhere?
I know you didn't come for the conference,
but job interviews.
Correct.
Let's no longer hide things from each other
just because of fear of worrying.
Let's not distance ourselves from each other anymore
with the reason of wanting to protect.
Don't do that again.
Yes?
Okay.
Promise?
Promise.
Mrs. Hwang.
Why did you come in?
I told you to take a break.
You don't like hotel breakfast,
then there was a dinner appointment too…
So of course I had to come.
I've been a bit busy lately.
Are you dating?
Yes…
Something like that.
Director,
please find a replacement for me.
Have you decided?
I want to start something new.
I don't like to be continuous
controlled by parents here,
don't like to hear
people's talk too.
Looks like I have to go back
to America.
Should not!
Go slowly, it's dangerous.
Why are you suddenly like this?
Are you sure you can go abroad?
without thinking about Sim-kung?
Can live as if
nothing happened?
I don't want you to live forever
with longing
and regret for Sim-kung.
So what do you think?
should i do it?
Raising Sim-kung
in Korea without a father?
His father can be found.
Esther, take a good look at yourself.
Your beauty, your intelligence,
your wealth…
You have an extraordinary charm,
Can't even find a father for Sim-kung?
The only thing missing from you…
Bad taste in choosing men.
But I can help with that.
Let's go find dad
for Sim-kung together.
What are you talking about?
You are crazy?
You want to start
something new, right?
So do it with Sim-kung.
The one who was wrong was Victor,
that bastard!
Why even you?
who should surrender to Sim-kung?
You are not guilty at all!
Face everything with confidence!
Just like the Esther I know!
Look for a man who can
accept you as you are.
Is there a man like that?
They even queued up.
Trust me.
If you look inside,
details about the accident are complete.
And don't hesitate to ask
if there is something you don't understand.
Thank you, Min-gu.
No need to thank me.
Take care of Gang-hee.
I go.

CERTIFICATE
TRAFFIC ACCIDEN
This is a chain reaction accident
where four units of cars
across the snowy road
the slippery ones collide with each other.
The car that overturned was
your father's car.
Come on.
Is it true?
He is tall and handsome.
That is true.
I hope he comes soon.
Yeon-soo!
Good grief.
This is a family gathering
before the wedding.
Why are you here?
He is no different
with family.
I won't let go of his hand.
Should you make me
so bad person?
You don't have to be a bad person, Su-ji.
Be quiet.
Even though he knows very well
if I hate him.
But you came in here instead
holding hands?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
There's something I want to tell you.
I'll go
after conveying it to you.
But let go of Yeon-su's hand.
Let me cut off your hand!
Su-ji!
You can't do that.
Su-ji, why is your face
so it's like that?
Can flowers get angry?
and pout like this?
The flower should always smile brightly.
It is your right and responsibility.
In that case,
flowers can't be angry?
If someone makes you angry,
I'll be the one who gets angry.
So, you have to finish it by talking.
And don't frown anymore.
With soft speech.
Okay,
let's finish everything here.
Okay, please speak.
I really feel heavy.
You know, right?
Suddenly your father died
due to an accident.
Everyone started gossiping.
Plus, your father had an accident.
while cheating.
Let's not talk about that.
Because I feel so heavy,
I thought about just dying.
What?
Good grief
If I have to die,
I want to be like Thelma and Louise…
You know, right?
Thelma and Louise.
Of course I know.
I stepped on the gas as hard as I could!
Jump off a cliff,
and end it all on a high note!
But instead of reaching the cliff,
even out
from Hana Village it is not possible either.
The car just stopped.
I'm grateful.
That's help from heaven, Su-ji.
Listen first.
Ji Gang-hee! This is all because of you!
Gang-hee, your teddy bear…
It clogs the exhaust completely.
No wonder, all the way
I felt nauseous and almost vomited.
Mom, what you just said
That is true?
I said it's true!
How can a little kid be like that?
Gang-hee, even though I do often
talking about your mother behind her back,
why are you taking revenge like this?
To adults too?
Since then,
I'm afraid to drive a car.
Ouch…
Thank you very much.
You really are Su-ji's life saver.
Today I can meet Su-ji,
all thanks to you.
What does it mean?
I'm sorry, Auntie…
I am wrong.
Please forgive me.
You were still small then,
no need to feel guilty like this…
Thank you mom.
Why are you all like this?
Cheon Yeon-soo.
So how?
I passed?
Mom, I hope you are happy.
Don't cry.
I don't like seeing it.
Smile.
Smile wide like a flower.
That is right.
Give it to me,
and enjoy some alone time.
Forgive me.
Sorry for saying
if you were born from a mistake.
Due to misunderstanding
if I'm the one who messed everything up.
Because I can't love you.
You're okay now, right?
Yes. I'm fine.
I love you.
Why are you crying?
Good grief!
Ouch…
Look at this, it's very thick and heavy.
I don't keep cows
to make money.
I'm looking for money
so that we can raise cows.
Is Chiltteng your son?
Pet?
If you are already raising cattle,
yes it must be sold.
Gosh, it's so luxurious.
Hey, let's eat.
I think all your words
about organic,
and the welfare of the animal
just a crap…
But from now on,
I'm counting on you, Han-woo.
Only father eats a lot.
In the future
Don't be too affectionate with cows!
I miss you, Chiltteng!
Good morning!
Bbinggu!
Kkomak!
I shouldn't raise cattle.
I didn't know it would be this hard
Doctor Yoon.
You miss them, right?
Where did you start hearing from?
Have you heard?
I've heard it for a while now
at the restaurant.
I miss Chiltteng too
just like you.
But I understand how you feel.
Because I also think
the same as you.
That is true.
Research animals also
already have their own destiny.
When I have such worries,
there is one thing that was once said
by Doctor Choen.
Even though fate says
we will die tomorrow,
at least today we have to live
quietly,
and do your best.
Chiltteng…
While staying at your farm,
surely he is happy.
Thank you, Nan-woo.
That really cheered me up.
In that case,
do you want to treat me to a meal?
Yes
I haven't finished eating yet,
leave my friend
and instead followed you out.
Of course I have to treat.
Come on
Come on.
Is there anything you want to eat?
Everything except beef.
Besides beef?
In that case
Mr. Chun-pil has arrived.
Let him rest.
It is late.
There is something I want to say
to Chun-pil.
Mr. Chun-pil, you've come.
Hello.
I have a request.
Thank you for being you
I have a request.
I hope you can help.
Yes.
Please adopt Seung-eon.
He is my brother, not an orphan.
Thank you for saying that.
Dad always thinks about this,
but never dared
tell you.
This isn't a difficult request, right?
Absolutely not.
Just go to the village office
and submit an application.
It's that easy?
Not changing the family name,
just write it down on the family card.
If it were that easy,
should have been done from the start.
I feel bad for him.
I'm so sleepy now
because of taking medication.
But I still have to say it.
If I die…
His inheritance must be divided
with Seung-eon.
Are you okay?
That's not allowed.
You better use them all
until finished.
Live long and be healthy.
Okay.
Are you going?
No, the floor is hard.
What is this?
Of course medicine, what else?
What medicine?
If you get older,
the pain is everywhere.
But because I'm lazy,
so I just took it all at once.
Yeon-su, come out.
Yes
Have you ever heard?
Is Mr. Chun-pil sick?
No, never.
There are a lot of medicines in his room.
Like everyday food.
Is it true?
It's not a deadly disease, right?
There's no way Uncle would do that.
Hurry in and rest.
Have a good night's sleep.
TREATMENT SCHEDULE
Have you packed everything?
Okay, Uncle.
Come on up.
Okay.
Good.

Ji Gang-hee.
Jin-ah.
You work here?
Yes, it's been a while.
I saw your father and Yeon-su coming.
Do you know why they came?
They do come often.
Yeon-su's grandfather used to be treated here.
Even though he ended up moving hospitals.
If it's a holiday,
Uncle also appears here.
Your father is an idol for the elders
who are treated here.
Come in.
Your hair is getting longer.
Yes, the volume is also getting bigger.
You look younger.
Oh my gosh, did you eat something?
which is good for hair?
Give me some too.
What kind of hair do you want?
Beautiful?
Have I ever?
doesn't make you beautiful?
- No matter what you do, you are always beautiful.
- He comes over every now and then to help.
Yeon-su also comes once a month.
Even though he talks a lot,
his hands are like MacGyver.
Everything can be fixed by him.
Heating, electricity, engines,
he can fix everything.
You eat what's good for your hair, huh?
Give me some too.
I
don't know anything.
At all.
Because you don't live here.
That means you don't know about this either.
Their funeral photos.
Some are already on display,
and will be displayed.
Nice picture.
Who took the photo?
Cha Seung Eon.
The Cha Seung-eon I know?
Is there another Cha Seung-eon?
At first it was Uncle's job.
But it seems he has already given
the task is on Seung-eon.
Ouch!
Oh my gosh, sir!
Why?
I told you to just talk
if you want to go.
Slowly.
Where are you going?
On the registration form
this hospitalization,
please fill in all of the names
in order.
Okay.
Uncle, what do you mean?

What are you doing?
That
I asked.
Ta-da!
Wow, this
The lake is really cool,
but since it faces west,
the view
very cool from here.
Dad has been eyeing this room for a long time.
Come on in, come on in, come on in! So cool!
Why are you targeting him?
Even though you own the California Motel
the one you love to death.
You've seen the movie Troy, right?
In that movie,
The gods are said to be jealous of humans.
Why?
Because they can't die.
Death is really interesting.
Mr. Chun-pil, are you going to die?
Oh my gosh, and you?
Won't you die?
Good grief!
All humans will die.
That is life.
Because there is an end,
then there is also beauty.
So, Mr. Chun-pil
which is full of beauty…
What's wrong with you?
Cancer.
