MATH
PART ONE
[gentle music playing]
[Mi-ji in Korean] Just when you start
to get the hang of things,
the chapter you know ends
and an unfamiliar one begins.
Some people rush ahead
to read the final page,
but I was the type
to run away from the ending.
The type who can't let go
of the main character
and leaves the final volume unread,
and the type who never beats
the final boss so the game won't end.
Maybe it's because
I already knew that deep down,
no matter how tightly I held on,
I couldn't stop the ending from coming.
FINAL EPISODE
THE END IS A NEW BEGINNING
[Mi-ji sighs]
[music fades]
I guess the smart ones
handle despair differently.
If it were me, I'd just fall apart.
I'd spend my days crying and sleeping.
Even in the midst of such despair,
you kept looking for solutions.
I'm no different. I'm just flailing here.
I know there's no way out of this.
What did the doctor say?
Luckily, it hasn't gotten any worse,
but I don't think it'll get better.
Still, I want to try everything I can.
Meds, treatments, anything.
Take the meds now.
[gasps]
Gosh, there are so many pills
-I already took them.
-[Mi-ji] What?
You weren't talking about your meds
when you said you left something at home?
Before we get to that
there's something I want to say.
[sighs]
What now?
I want to apologize properly.
I didn't want you to get hurt,
but I ended up hurting you even more.
I thought being on my own
would make me less of a burden,
but I didn't realize how selfish that was.
I'm sorry.
[soft tender pop song playing]
How can you
be like this?
It took me ten years to figure that out,
and I still had no idea what to do.
So I just wanted to be with you.
If you had said no,
I was ready to camp out
in front of your place.
I never thought you'd come to me first.
You're not like me.
You really are
a better person than I am.
Honestly, nothing has changed.
My ears are the same,
and I don't know what will happen next.
And surely, being by my side will be hard.
Even so
I want to be with you.
Even if it's hard,
I want to stick it out together.
Hey.
Why do you keep saying
what I should be saying?
Now I've got nothing to say.
Jeez.
[singing in Korean]
Hey
Here.
[Mi-ji] Hmm?
[in English] You never went far
Still I am standing ♪
[Mi-ji gasps]
[in Korean] Ho-su, when did you
[singing in Korean]
Put it on.
[singing in Korean continues]
[gasps] How does it fit so perfectly?
[chuckles]
[giggles]
Hey, when did you put that ring on?
Do you like it?
[Mi-ji] Aw!
Ho-su.
[Ho-su chuckles]
[Mi-ji] Thank you.
This is so pretty.
[song concludes]
[Mi-rae] By the way,
can you actually catch any fish here?
We're fishing for time.
FARM OPERATION PLAN
Do we really need these contracts
and business license stuff?
It seems like a hassle.
It'd be easier to just run it as is.
[Mi-rae] I think it's better
to get things sorted
so we can apply for young farmer
support funds or subsidies later on.
You already have a lot to worry about,
and it wouldn't feel right to keep asking
someone in the States for help.
I like that idea. I'm okay with it.
I'm not, though.
I just want to try running a business
under my own name.
I thought you were all by the book.
Turns out you're quite ambitious.
But do you have money?
Running a business requires money.
I have my severance pay,
so I'll use that
to build a stock portfolio.
And I'm thinking of starting a blog too.
A blog? About farming?
No, an investment blog.
Like the one you used to run,
"Se-jinvestor."
How do you know Se-jinvestor?
You somehow know everything about me.
I got a lot of tips from that blog.
So I figured I'd go ahead and share
my investment ideas like that too.
Maybe you could take a look sometime.
I charge for consulting, you know.
Okay, it's free for a business partner.
By the way, about that house.
Would it be okay if I lived there?
Sure, I don't mind.
But wouldn't staying at your mom's
be better for you?
It'd save time on commuting,
and I'm more comfortable living alone.
Is it okay if I make some changes
while I'm living there?
You got super upset that time
I threw out the chair.
That was ages ago.
-Sorry about that again.
-Ah.
Even if you tear the place down
and pitch a tent,
I won't say a word. Promise.
Jeez.
-Thank you.
-[tender music playing]
How about this?
I invest the initial capital
and take eight.
That's not very fair.
Ninety-two to eight.
That's not fair either.
We don't even know
how profitable it will be.
[Se-jin] That's how investing works.
If you don't like it, stick to savings.
It's like fishing.
If you catch something, great.
If you don't,
at least you got some meditation in.
-Look, it moved.
-What? Why?
-How?
-Just now.
I'm scared of fish. You do it, quick!
-Why are you fishing, then?
-Get the scoop net!
-Shouldn't we pull it up first?
-Then pull it up.
-What do I
-No!
[music fades]
Didn't we decide
to do this part like this?
-Yes.
-But look over there!
The left side is way too low!
-She might go up there herself soon.
-Lower the right side.
She really might.
Yes. Now that's too low.
You never laughed
when she wasn't around, did you?
[Mi-ji] Right there. Try leveling it
I'm sorry for making you worry about me.
We're way past apologizing
for things like that.
[Mi-ji] Gently to the right.
No matter how hard your day is,
one second of laughter
can get you through it.
[Mi-ji] Be careful.
So don't ever let go of the person
who makes you laugh.
[gentle music playing]
[Mi-ji] Come on.
We're putting up the sign.
Hurry up.
-Thank you.
-[worker] Sure.
-Call if you need anything.
-[Mi-ji] Okay. Take care!
ROSA RESTAURAN
SERVING CHICKEN GIBLET STEW FOR 35 YEARS
Ho-su, shouldn't you be heading
to the hospital for your appointment?
I'll be fine if I leave now.
Ms. Sang-wol, I'll get going.
Okay.
I'll call you.
If you have time, how about some coffee?
What's this?
Such a classic pickup line.
-Let's go.
-[both chuckle]
-Let me open the door for you.
-[door chime clinking]
[music fades]
-Mm! Thank you.
-[Sang-wol] Sure.
[exhales]
[chuckles]
I never thought I'd see the day
when this place would feel peaceful.
Now that the sign's up,
doesn't it feel like
more sunlight is coming in?
[chuckles]
We only changed the sign.
Everything else is the same.
The shop's name hasn't changed,
and I'm still selling chicken giblet stew.
[chuckles]
But now that my name's changed,
it feels different.
[Mi-ji chuckles softly]
It's like all these locked doors
unlocked at the same time,
and now I don't know
which one to open first.
Oh, I heard you decided
to start treatment for dyslexia.
I kept saying there was no point
in learning anything,
but Ho-su said
it's something to improve on,
not something to learn,
and insisted that I give it a shot.
He went out of his way
to look into it for me.
I should at least give it a try,
even if it's pointless.
You're amazing.
What?
Are you teasing?
No. I mean it.
When I think I can't do
something very well,
I just make excuses
and pretend not to care.
But you aren't running away
from it like I would.
You're going to try
even if it's pointless.
That's impressive.
Gosh.
If you think I'm amazing,
you should try something pointless too.
That's what I've been thinking about.
[clicks tongue]
Which pointless thing should I try?
I still have to make a living, though.
[clicks tongue]
Gosh.
Speaking of making a living,
have you ever thought
about working with me?
What?
-[gentle music playing]
-You can learn from me,
and when I'm too old,
you can take over this place.
Then
you'd at least make a living.
Oh I'm so grateful.
But you're not interested in my offer?
It's not that.
It's such a generous offer,
and I'll definitely think about it.
So you already have
something else in mind?
I kind of do.
But I might end up begging you
to let me work here later.
You'll still accept me then, right?
Just let me know
if you're ever interested,
even if it's just part-time.
Aren't you going to tell me
what you've been thinking about?
It's too early to say.
[chuckles]
What is it that's got you all shy?
I'll tell you later.
[Sang-wol] Gosh.
[both chuckle]
So what you're saying
is that you're taking over the farm
instead of going back to Seoul?
[Mi-rae] Yes.
God. It's too fishy. [coughs]
You've only worked in an office.
How can you handle farming?
I've been doing it all along.
And why live alone out there
when you have
a perfectly good house to live in?
I've been living alone all this time.
But that was in Seoul.
You're the one who said
Seoul was more dangerous.
I'll come visit often.
No, I mean [sighs]
After all the work you've done,
now you're talking about farming?
That's more than a waste.
You're wasting your talent.
I'm not saying I'll do it forever.
While running the farm,
I'll keep working on
what I really want to do.
I just want to see if I can do it alone
through my own will and effort,
instead of doing what I'm told.
-[sighs]
-Gosh.
Didn't you say I should do what I want?
Fine. Do it.
I'm not stopping you.
Go ahead.
What?
Are you Mi-ji?
[sighs] No.
Really? Mom said, "Go ahead"?
I wish I had been there,
just to see her face.
Anyway, if you still haven't decided
what to do next,
do you want to work with me?
You mean farm work?
[Mi-rae] I think it'll be tough
to manage on my own at first.
And if you don't want to move back here,
how about once or twice a week?
I'll pay you.
I'll think about it.
Why?
Do you have something else in mind?
No
Hey, if you're there,
let's do a video call.
I want to see Grandma's face.
Grandma!
-[tender music playing]
-Oh? Why do you look so tired?
Have you lost weight?
I'm on a diet.
Mm?
Mi-ji, see if you can convince
Grandma to eat.
What's wrong?
Grandma, have you lost your appetite?
Are you not well?
[chuckles]
You know what? I'd better get over there.
And fatten you up.
Don't come.
Why? I miss you.
Should I come today?
No. Don't come.
You don't need to. I'll be with her today.
Why not? I can just drop by.
Don't bother. You're busy.
You've got to get ready
for the move. Don't come.
Did you two plan this?
Why do you keep telling me not to come?
-[Wol-sun] Gosh.
-I'm hanging up.
-Hey! Hey!
-[cell phone beeps]
Jeez. What the heck?
Do I stink or something?
Neither of them wants me to come.
They probably think
it's an important time for you.
-[music fades]
-What is it?
It's just
I did say I'd stay in Seoul,
but it feels like they're telling me
not to come until I've made it.
Like they're pushing me to start
before I'm ready.
You spent a long time
by your grandma's side.
They probably think you need
some time for yourself now.
Exactly.
Just because I have time for myself
doesn't mean I'll suddenly
become this amazing person.
It's a lot of pressure.
Mi-ji, no one's expecting
anything like that.
Oh
When you put it that way,
it does kind of sting.
[chuckles]
They'll have reasonable expectations.
But is Grandma really okay?
She seemed really run-down.
Once you're done moving,
let's visit Duson-ri together.
[Mi-ji] Okay.
You didn't have to bring this.
I know you're busy as it is.
How did you find time to come?
Mi-rae said she'd stay
with Grandma at the hospital today.
-Mi-rae did?
-Yes.
Even with her crazy schedule,
she still has time for her grandma.
She's been here for a few days.
She's not so busy anymore.
What do you mean?
She quit her job.
She didn't say much,
but I guess it was tough for her.
Hmm, I see.
Mi-rae will find another good job soon.
She wants to farm.
Over at the strawberry farm.
[coughs, clears throat]
Who does?
Mi-rae, not Mi-ji?
Yeah. The funny thing is,
Mi-ji's staying in Seoul.
Good God.
They say you never stop worrying
about your kids.
They really are twins,
both worrying me at the same time.
Hey.
You're lucky to have a son like Ho-su.
I need to go to Seoul soon
because of Ho-su.
What for?
His hearing has gotten worse.
I want to be there
during his hospital stay.
Hospital?
Is it that bad?
Well, we'll see how his treatment goes.
Still, thinking back to when he was a kid,
I'm grateful things are not worse.
At least now, it's not life-threatening.
[Ok-hui] That's true.
We worry about things like this
because they're alive and well.
[Bun-hong]
Is the owner of that strawberry farm
the same one Mi-ji had a thing with?
I told you the rumors are not true!
Bun-hong, Mi-ji is still a kid.
She's not interested in dating.
[quirky music playing]
I used an elite lawyer to help me move.
How should I repay you?
Do I get to choose?
Mm, you have two options. Cheek or lips.
Can I choose both?
[Mi-ji] Mm
-[Mi-ji giggles]
-[music fades]
Mi-ji?
Mom.
How did you
[quirky music playing]
-Is that you, Ho-su?
-[chuckles] Yes.
Hello.
[hesitating] She's moving,
so I came to help her pack.
What's going on between you two?
Uh
[chuckles]
It just happened. We're a thing now.
Oh dear.
-Let me get that.
-[Mi-ji] Yes.
No, it's fine.
-Why should you have to do that?
-Jeez.
Okay. Have you had dinner?
Yes, what time do you think it is?
It's late. You should go.
-Mom.
-Okay.
I'll leave then.
-Yes, go.
-Bye.
-Go. Hurry.
-All right. Bye.
[sighs]
-Don't.
-[Ok-hui grumbles]
Good God.
[Ok-hui] Go already!
[music fades]
Why did you leave all the lights on?
Money doesn't grow on trees.
You said you'd come tomorrow with Mi-rae.
Why did you show up without calling me?
What would've happened
if we'd missed each other?
[Ok-hui] Seriously,
what would have happened?
I never would've guessed.
Jeez.
Good Lord.
I can't believe I saw my daughter
kissing a guy in the street.
I'm hungry.
Is there anything to eat?
Mm? Didn't you say you ate already?
That was just to get him to leave quickly.
I'm starving.
Order something for me.
We could've just eaten with Ho-su.
What's wrong with you?
You made things so awkward
by cutting him off and sending him away.
You even lied to send him away.
Do you know Ho-su isn't well?
What?
Come and sit down.
His mom told me.
His hearing is getting worse,
so he needs to be hospitalized.
Why are you bringing that up?
Was that the reason you acted that way?
What does his condition have to do
with us seeing each other?
You knew? And you made him
pack boxes this late?
He's about to be hospitalized.
If his mom found out, she'd faint!
-[gentle music playing]
-I didn't really make him do much.
Do you think it's easy
being with someone who's unwell?
You need to become much more mature
and tougher than you are now.
If you're not ready for that,
don't even start this.
Don't hurt a good kid just because
things get hard later on. Got it?
I won't.
I mean it.
God, what was I thinking?
I can't believe I said
you weren't interested in dating.
Jeez Louise, my head hurts.
Just order some food.
[music fades]
Wow. American chocolate.
Wow, fancy whiskey. It's 30 years old.
Wow
What are you sharpening?
It's kind of scary.
Just say it.
-Say what?
-[Se-jin] Anything.
All I have after studying abroad
is a high school diploma.
Just yell at me already.
Why would I yell at you for that?
Because I didn't see it through
to the end.
You worked so hard to support me.
[gentle music playing]
Is graduation "the end"?
People get a college diploma
to help them start working.
You said you're starting work now.
So, you saw it through to the end.
Still
You don't stay on the bus
until the last stop.
You get off when it's your stop.
And
why is the end so important?
The beginning is what matters.
Wow, you're quite talkative today.
Should we open
the 30-year-old whiskey today?
[gentle music continues]
I told him not to save it for too long.
He never even drank it.
[groans]
[music fades]
It's nice.
[Mi-ji] Mi-rae said she's meeting someone
and will be here around lunchtime.
I'm going to the real estate office.
[Ok-hui] Hey, Mi-ji.
Wait for me. Let's go together.
-Together?
-Yes.
Didn't you come to help Mi-rae move?
There's barely anything to help with.
I came because you said
you were signing a lease.
Let's go.
Look who's being nice.
What do you mean?
Let's go.
-Move, hurry.
-[Mi-ji giggling]
How did you manage to find time
during lunch?
I'm quitting soon, so it doesn't matter.
[chuckles]
So, what happened to everyone?
Maybe it's because of the media coverage,
but it wrapped up sooner than expected.
[intriguing quirky music playing]
[Tae-i] Mr. Shin was the first
to be fired as a scapegoat.
And Director Choi,
who is a department head now
PLACE OF ASSIGNMENT: CHILDAL BRANCH
got transferred to the Childal branch.
He was rumored to be moving
to Sihan Construction.
But I guess things didn't work out,
so he's just going to Childal.
[music concludes]
[Tae-i] And my sister
came out of her room.
She still has trouble going out,
but she's started therapy too.
It's all thanks to you.
What about you, Tae-i?
Now that things with your sister
are settled,
are you going back to school?
I thought about it,
but I've decided to spend time
with my sister
and start looking for a job.
Turns out, office life suits me
more than I expected.
[gentle music playing]
What? Why do you think that?
Working in an office
is easier than grad school.
-What?
-I get off work on time,
and there are no professors.
[sighs]
[Tae-i] So what will you do?
Farming.
What?
Can you give me some context?
[music fades]
The water seems to be running fine.
-Is this a storage space?
-I've checked everything.
I looked at more than ten places
before choosing this place!
[Ok-hui] Okay. Stay out of this.
Your mom is really thorough.
But honestly,
there's no better place than this one.
Today alone,
five people came by to see it.
Why didn't any of them sign the lease?
-Because your daughter reserved it first.
-[Ok-hui] I see.
Everyone's waiting for this
to be available again.
-Mom.
-Goodness.
I told you to stay out of this.
It's not bad, but it's a bit too small.
I heard there's a unit
with a living room too.
How much is the rent?
[agent] The ones with living rooms
are a bit pricier.
[quirky music playing]
Everyone starts out in a studio.
If you start out in a big place,
you won't be able to keep up
with the costs later.
[music concludes]
Lastly, please check
-the real estate registry record.
-Okay.
If it looks good,
we can proceed with the contract.
All right.
Well [chuckles]
I don't see a problem. [chuckles]
Excuse me, but
If I put down a bit more for the deposit,
can we lower the monthly rent
by about 50,000 won?
I'll ask the landlord.
Mom, I can't put down any more
for the deposit.
Who said you had to?
I'm using the money
from my matured savings.
Just pay me back when you move out.
-[agent] Okay.
-[tender music playing]
-The landlord agreed.
-Really?
-[chuckles]
-[chuckles] Thank you.
Now write your name under "Tenant,"
and sign here. On both forms.
All right.
What are you doing? Sign here.
Me?
Of course. It's your place.
Who else would sign?
Right.
Here.
I said sign!
What's with your handwriting?
Are you in elementary school?
It's my first time signing something.
Let's get a stamp made for you later.
TENANT: YU MI-JI
-[both chuckle]
-There.
-[telephone rings]
-[music fades]
Hello, this is the teachers' office
at Duson Elementary School.
Yes, this is she. Did you say flowers?
Who are they from?
[knocking on door]
[Bun-hong] Hello?
Mom.
-[tender music playing]
-Oh my, what's gotten into you?
Goodness me.
Gosh. You could've called me.
This is my son.
[gasps] So you're the lawyer son
we've heard so much about?
-Hello.
-Right.
Hello.
What is all this? My goodness!
What's this for?
-I didn't want to come empty-handed.
-[Bun-hong] Gosh.
He really is handsome.
I know he is.
[both giggle]
[music fades]
You didn't have to come.
There's nothing special to see.
My plans got canceled,
so I wanted to visit you at work.
Anything new with you lately?
[Bun-hong] Nothing special.
Did you know Mi-rae
quit her job and moved here?
She's going to run a strawberry farm now.
And the owner of that farm
was the same one Mi-ji had a thing with
What?
-You know.
-[quirky music playing]
Mi-ji and the farm owner
liked each other.
Uh [chuckles]
I don't think that's true.
It is!
Lots of people saw them.
People said Gyeong-gu and the farm owner
got into a fight over Mi-ji
and ended up rolling on the ground.
Actually, we're seeing each other.
Who?
The farm owner?
[chuckles] No, not him. Mi-ji.
[music concludes]
I'm dating Mi-ji.
Mi-ji? But you two
have hardly spent any time together.
Is that why Mi-ji went to Seoul?
No, it's not that.
I've liked her for a long time.
Since high school.
Ah
All this time I thought it was Mi-rae.
It was Mi-ji?
You know how I was
when we first moved here.
I was on edge and prickly.
Thanks to Mi-ji, I've changed a lot.
When I'm with her, I laugh a lot more.
[tender music playing]
Honestly, Mi-ji's the best there is.
I would know because I've worked with her.
But you said that, unlike Mi-rae,
Mi-ji still seems like a kid.
I was saying she's pure-hearted.
And bubbly.
[chuckles]
She's just pure.
I'm happy for you, Ho-su. Congratulations.
My son is dating now.
[music fades]
You've never had pho before?
Not even once?
I've had it in school lunches.
But that was more like beef bone soup.
This one smells and tastes
totally different. It's pretty good.
You should go out
and eat good food sometimes.
And didn't your old classmates
go to Vietnam or somewhere?
You should join them on trips like that.
You should be the one
going out and having fun.
Go abroad like everyone else.
Isn't there anywhere you want to go?
Not really.
You're the same, Mom.
Hey, I wanted to travel the world
at your age.
That's why I married your dad.
He said if I went with him to France
for his expat posting, I could study art.
That darn Louvre
and the Musée d'Orsay had me fooled.
But then you two came along
and the IMF crisis hit,
and I never even got a stamp
in my passport.
You wanted to study art?
[Ok-hui] Didn't I tell you?
[chuckles]
I was going to go to art school,
but your grandma was against it,
so I moved to Seoul.
I told her I'd pay for my tuition.
-Oh
-[Ok-hui] I still remember going around
looking for a place to live
when I first came to Seoul.
Because I was a young girl on my own,
people looked down on me
and only showed me unlivable places.
Those awful people.
[gentle music playing]
Did you come because you were worried
I'd go through the same thing?
Did you think I came to see the sights?
Gosh.
It's nice to be back in Seoul
after so long.
It's nice to eat this too. [chuckles]
Couldn't you still do it?
[Ok-hui] Do what?
What you always wanted.
You can still paint, right?
Come on, it's too late for me
You should do what you want,
now that you're in Seoul.
It's too late for me.
We're not the same
Fine, I'll paint.
So you should do what you want too.
As long as it's not a crime,
I won't stop you.
Right, you even let Mi-rae farm.
[Ok-hui] Jeez.
I won't stop you. Really.
[Ok-hui] I would've been fine on my own.
You didn't have to come.
What time is it?
-I'll get going.
-[Mi-ji] Okay.
-Go straight home.
-Got it.
-All right.
-Call me when you get home.
-Go already.
-[Mi-ji] Okay.
[gentle music continues]
Mom.
[Ok-hui grunts]
Thank you.
For what?
Everything.
Jeez.
What's with you? You're being all mushy.
Just go already. Go!
Go, hurry!
Okay. You go first.
[Ok-hui] Go.
-Jeez. Go.
-[Mi-ji] I will.
[Ok-hui] Seriously, go!
I am going!
-[Ok-hui] I'll call you.
-All right.
[music fades]
[Sang-yeong] Hey! Yu Mi-rae!
[sighs]
Do you have to go this far?
Do we really need
to take this to civil court?
Isn't it enough that I quit?
You quit because
you were afraid you'd get fired.
I got a suspended sentence.
What more do you want?
I've already paid the price.
[Chung-gu] That was just your share
of the consequences.
[dramatic quirky music playing]
Breaking a window and owning up to it
doesn't magically replace the glass.
You still have to compensate
for the damage you caused.
How much more do I have to suffer
before you're satisfied?
Well, you should pay the interest too.
[exhales]
[music fades]
Should I file for a restraining order too?
I'm pretty sure
he'd like to file one against me.
I heard you were busy,
but you always come in person.
Thank you.
[sighs] I should fix the mess I started.
Would you like me to drop you off
somewhere on the way?
No, I have somewhere to go. Bye.
Why do I feel lonely?
No one's coming anyway.
Let's just hit up the duty-free shops.
[dial tone ringing]
Where are you right now?
I'm at the airport.
[Se-jin] The airport?
I'm already inside.
Oh
Already?
[Se-jin]
You should've told me you were coming.
I asked you more than five times,
and you said no.
I wasn't sure when I'd be done.
[Se-jin]
Then you could've told me when you left.
Is it that hard to send a text
saying you're coming?
No wonder I didn't want
to go inside. [exhales]
I
I wanted to tell you in person.
Thank you
for everything, really.
Have a safe trip
[Se-jin] Ms. Yu Mi-rae!
[theme song playing]
Oh!
You said you had gone in already
[panting] The check-in area.
For first class.
I was checking in when you called.
You could've said that
instead of running over.
I was worried you'd leave.
You're impatient.
I figured you'd disappear again.

I can't really talk on the phone,

Feel free to text me anytime.
I'll be so bored here.
You're going to regret saying that.
I'll show you how loud I can be over text.
[giggles]
Hi, Mi-ji!
[gasps] Gosh, ma'am!
I happened to be at the hospital
Wow, what a coincidence!
So what's wrong, exactly?
She knows.
-What?
-Yes. I know.
[Bun-hong giggles]
Stay a little longer.
Don't leave because of me.
Should I just go?
No, don't.
I was just planning to stay
until he got checked in.
[Bun-hong] Mm.
You two used to bicker all the time,
and now you've grown up and
This might seem sudden,
but honestly,
I always felt closer to you, Mi-ji.
[chuckles nervously]
[Bun-hong] I mean it.
Especially on the day
we made strawberry jam together.
I felt it in my gut that day.
[chuckles nervously]
Oh, the strawberry jam?
[both chuckle]
[Bun-hong] Mm.
Thank you for being there for Ho-su.
[Mi-ji] Mm.
I hope you two make each other happy

Hi, Mom.

Why do you sound like that?
What's wrong with Grandma?
What?

VACAN
Sir, please go to Seoul Station.
BONGDEOK HOSPITAL
-[running footsteps]
-[Mi-ji panting]
Mom, where's Grandma?
You're here. She's inside.
Mi-rae's on her way. Sit.
What happened?
A heart attack?
Is she okay now?
Then why did you bring her back
to the nursing home?
She should've stayed in the ER.
They said there's nothing more
they can do for her here either.
She's old and very weak,
so she might not make it
through treatment.
What?
So we just leave her like this?
Mom, let's try another hospital.
[sighs]
-We're taking her home.
-What?
She's been saying
she wants to go home for days.
We'll bring her home.
You said she might not make it
past a few days.
We have to do everything we can.
Why are we giving up?
Mom.
Let's go.
Let's try one more hospital.
Do you think I want this?
[voice trembling] She wants to go home.
That's all we can do for her now.
-[sighs]
-[sniffles]
[soft somber music playing]
[sniffles, sobs]
[soft somber music continues]
[Mi-ji] I should've come yesterday.
Or the day before.
Why did I listen
when she said not to come?
Grandma.
Are you with me? It's me, Mi-ji.
Mi-ji.
[Mi-ji] Yes.
Let's go.
What? What was that?
Home.
I want to go home.
Okay.
Let's go home now.
Grandma, we'll go home.
Let's go.
Let's go home, Grandma.
[soft somber music continues]
[music fades]
Mom's completely out.
She probably hasn't slept in days.
This reminds me of the old days.
Grandma never fell asleep before we did.
You should get some sleep too.
You haven't slept
since you got here yesterday.
I'm good.
Ah
Hey.
How are things at the farm?
Things are fine for now, but who knows.
Are you sure you don't want
to work with me?
-I'll pay you.
-[scoffs] How much?
Will you pay me 200,000 won a day?
The best part of having a sister
is cheap labor.
Goodness.
Look how shameless you've become.
It's too much for me
to handle alone right now.
Can't you help a few days a week?
I could probably help out
for a day here and there.
Why? Did you already get a job?
What is it? Why can't you tell me?
Wait, are you getting married?
Hey, are you crazy?
How could I get married?
If you're not getting married,
what are you trying to hide?
Stop dragging it out and just tell me.
What is it?
It's just
I was thinking of going to college.
What?
Cabbage? What do you mean?
I said "college."
College!
The one you take the CSAT for!
You?
I mean, there's no need
I've been to college,
and honestly, you don't need it.
You might be better off
doing something else
instead of studying for the CSAT.
I know.
Having a degree
doesn't guarantee anything.
And I know wanting to go
doesn't mean I can.
But
I'm embarrassed.
About what?
[Mi-ji] Ever since I was little,
I knew I could never catch up to you,
no matter how hard I tried.
So I gave up on studying early.
I figured it was less embarrassing
to not try than to fail.
But
now I'm not sure
if that's really less embarrassing.
[gentle music playing]
When I filled in for you at KFMC,
I was terrified at first.
I couldn't follow what anyone was saying,
and everyone was so smart
that I was scared to even talk to them.
But I had to report to the boss,
so I studied a bit
and started to understand things.
It all sounded complicated,
but there was nothing to be nervous about.
After that, I wasn't scared anymore.
Maybe college is like that too.
The thing I'm most scared
and embarrassed of.
I want to try it.
You're right.
Things might seem scary,
but once you dive in,
they're not all that.
College might disappoint you too. But
it's better to try and be disappointed.
I'm all for it.
-Man.
-[Mi-rae] But
if you want to go to college,
you'll have to study like hell.
Even if Ho-su tutors you
[sighs] Anyways,
you'll have to work your butt off.
Hey, why are you scaring me already?
Have you picked your major? Never mind.
Just go wherever your grades take you.
Grandma, did you hear her?
She's looking down on me
just because she's smart.
I'm not looking down on you.
You'll have to work really hard.
[Mi-ji] Don't you dare look down on me.
I'll bust my butt.
[Mi-rae] Should I take the exam for you?
[Mi-ji] Really? Should we switch again?
[Mi-rae] See,
that's your problem right there.
[Mi-ji] Gosh, are you messing with me?
[woman, recording]
Even with my eyes wide open
[Sang-wol slowly] "Even with my eyes
-wide open"

[woman] the dream stays the same.
[Sang-wol] "the dream
stays the same."
[sniffs]
"The dream stays the same."
[Mi-ji] Is there something you'd like
to read once your dyslexia improves?
There is one thing I want to read.
But I don't know what it says.
Hmm. Should I read it for you?
No.
What if it says something bad about me?

INTERPRETATION OF SLEEP

[grunts softly]
Huh?
Grandma.
Grandma.
[humming]
Grandma!
You startled me.
Why are you up already?
You should sleep some more.
What happened? Are you all better now?
Of course.
Lying down all day was exhausting.
-[grunts]
-Thank goodness.
I was worried something serious
might happen to you.
What are you doing?
Packing. [giggles]
All of a sudden? Are you going somewhere?
I've been lying in bed for ten years.
It's time I got out and about.
When the flowers bloom,
I'll go to Jeju Island.
When the snow melts,
I'll hike Mount Seorak.
Maybe I'll even travel abroad for once.
I want to come too.
You need to go to college.
Didn't you hear what Mi-rae said?
You have to study hard to get in.
[Mi-ji] Then I won't go to college.
I'll just travel and have fun with you!
Have fun later.
You've got so much to do,
and all you think about is having fun.
[Mi-ji groans]
-[Wol-sun grunts]
-Why are you going that way?
Have you been gone so long
that you forgot where the door is?
[Wol-sun sighs]
It doesn't matter.
It's not like I'll be walking.
[melancholic music playing]
Grandma.
Don't go.
Stay with me.
Why are you acting like a baby again?
I know you won't come back if you leave.
No, I'm not letting you go.
[Mi-ji] Hmm?
I'll always come back.
On your hard days,
I'll come to you as a cloud
or as a bird.
[sobs]
What if I don't recognize you?
I won't know if it's you.
Of course you'll know.
If you see a funny-shaped cloud
or a bird staring right at you,
you'll know it's me.
You'll know right away, Mi-ji.
It's nothing to be sad about.
You don't need to come to the hospital.
I'll always be with you.
I want to see your place in Seoul,
since I couldn't when I was bedridden.
I also want to see
the college you'll get into.
Grandma, was it hard for you?
Were you in pain and frustrated?
[sobbing]
[Wol-sun] Mi-ji.
If you can't stop crying,
and if you feel so sad and lost
that you can't do anything,
then I'll stay a little longer.
Grandma
can hold on as long as you need me to.
[soft melancholic music continues]
You can go.
I won't cry too much.
I'll live my life as best as I can.
So don't worry about me.
See the things you wanted to see,
and go to all the places
you wanted to visit.
And every once in a while,
come
visit me too.
Mm-hmm.

He was a junior colleague.
He's good.
[student 1] Excuse me, Senior.
Do you know when you'll be able
to send the materials you promised?
I said I'd send them when I'm done.
If you're in such a hurry, do it yourself.
But this is a team project,
and I've been doing it all alone
Yesterday, you said
you'd send them by the end of the day.
-So I

Why are you butting in?
I've kept my mouth shut long enough.
If you have time to lie, copy something
off the Internet and send it.
You're a senior. Act like one.
Hey, Junior!
Just because you're older,
you think you can talk down

Sorry. Ah

I keep trying to change,

I always go back to how I was.
Not at all.

you apologized nonstop.

I've got ten more years on you,

People only move forward.
You might stumble and fall

KIM RO-SA'S POSTHUMOUS POETRY READING
[Sang-wol] "What Makes a Person Human."
By Kim Ro-sa.
MY SONG, MY WIND
-[soft uplifting music playing]
-What makes a person human
Is love, pressed down just a little
Pressed a little
From above, below, and the sides
Like freshly packed rice in a bowl
Like an eraser worn down
From choosing kind words
So that the warmth shared
Between two embraced bodies
Won't escape
Won't disappear
And will become human
[audience applauding]
[cheers]
-[Ho-su] You did great today.

Why are you always late?
No, we weren't.
We got here right on time.

We were both late.
Why do I always get blamed?

It's obvious.
-You're always late to the restaurant.

You're driving alone at night ♪
[Mi-rae in Korean] How did you
See? I recognized you, Mi-rae.
[singing in Korean]
I'm back.
[in English] It's about to fly ♪
And I promise I'll be where you are ♪
[singing in Korean]
[singing in Korean continues]
[in Korean] Next time I go to Duson-ri,
I should bring back an extra photo album.
-[cell phone buzzes]
-Huh?
[song fades]
What the heck?
-Mi-rae says she's heading back now.
-I thought she was staying over tonight.
Yes, but she met someone
and is heading home right now.
Since I got stood up,
I guess I'll just sleep here tonight.
[chuckles]
Tend to my needs.
Have my pajamas been washed and ironed?
They're in the drawer.
[chuckles]
Ahem!
[grunts]
My pajamas
What is this?
[gasps]
What?
[soft romantic music playing]
Oh
Hey.
Did you know that
a primary caregiver's view on marriage
has a huge influence
on their child's view on marriage?
Really?
My mom says the best decision
she ever made was getting married.
Well, my mom always said
you should only get married
when you can live on your own.
She drilled that into my head so hard.
Total gaslighting.
Honestly, marriage is
just a stamp on a document.
What's the big deal, really?
But still, it's the beginning
of a new chapter in life,
so I want to start it
at the right time, with a clear mind.
-You know, it'll be
-[music fades]
You
finally figured out what you want to be?
Yes.
A therapist.
That's perfect for you.
I knew you'd figure it out.
Congratulations.
But apparently,
you need a master's degree for that.
-[soft romantic music playing]
-Then go to grad school.
I feel bad, though.
For making you wait so long.
Is this about getting your first paycheck
before getting married?
A few years' delay doesn't matter.
You've found what you want to do.
Hey, aren't you a bit disappointed?
I mean, who knows
how long you'll have to wait.
You know,
the one who loves more
is supposed to wait.
And I'm good at waiting.
[Mi-ji groans softly]
Don't run off after saying all this.
[softly] I won't.
-[cell phone buzzing]
-[Mi-ji groans]
Ah!
-[Ho-su] Gosh.
-[gasps]
-Hey.
-What?
I swear, there's something in here.
Every time I try to do something, I mean
Hello.
I wasn't doing anything. Why?
You want me to come home?
With Ho-su?
[Ok-hui] There.
COUNTRY HOUSE IN SAEUL-DONG
Remodeling? At the same time?
[Ok-hui] No, one after the other.
We'll stay at each other's places
while our houses are being remodeled.
So you two need to take some stuff
and toss what you don't need.
But my place is small.
Can't I leave things here?
Take something.
Isn't Ho-su moving into a bigger place?
Keep some stuff there.
Excuse me.
Ho-su's place is not a storage unit.
Why dump junk at a new home?
Gosh, who said anything
about a storage unit?
I never said to store junk, did I?
Actually, I've been
meaning to tell you this.
When I move [yelps softly]
[chuckles] It'll be nice.
-[Bun-hong laughs] It must be.
-[Ok-hui] You're that happy?
Yes.
[in KSL]
We agreed not to talk about that yet.
We have to tell them eventually
[tender music playing]
[whispers] We can't tell them.
"Living together" isn't
in our primary caregivers' vocabulary.
But you said you'd take
the spare room once your lease is up
I will, but why tell them now?
Even if we don't,
they'll find out the second they visit.
There's a way to keep it under the radar.
Don't you know
my college friends live alone?
Are you planning something shady again?
Don't you want to live with me?
I didn't mean it like that.
I just think we should be honest.
I'm not saying we should never tell them.
I'll let them know when the time is right.
[Bun-hong] Ho-su, I need you for a sec.
All right.
We'll tell them someday, okay?
Grab another box for me.
[Ho-su] Sure.

DECEMBER 3, 1995
THE DAY MI-RAE AND MI-JI WERE BORN
-[gentle pop song playing]
-[singing in Korean]
85 DAYS IN THE WORLD
92 DAYS IN THE WORLD
MI-RAE, MI-JI
I LOVE YOU FOREVER
[singing in Korean continues]
[singing in Korean continues]
[Mi-ji] I realized after going through
a few chapters
that life isn't a book with an ending.
It's a notebook I have to fill in myself.
Even if I'm confronted by a blank page,
it's not the end, but a beginning.
It's the unwritten first page of my story.
There will surely be
unexpected twists and turns along the way
MI-JI, SEOUL!
but I'll keep searching
for a line of happiness
and keep writing
-until I've filled every page.
