[Final Episode]

Mom.

Mom!

Hansuk, my baby.

Mom.

It's so good to see you, mom.

Your hands are cold. You must be freezing.

I'm fine now that I'm with you.

Was it hard getting here?

No.

Have you eaten?

I wanted to wait for you.

I have dinner prepared. Come with me.

Okay, mom.

What's going on? Why aren't you here?

Your name was listed on Doyoung's phone. She was in a car accident.

What happened? Is it true that Shin Doyoung is dead?

I saw her just a few hours ago. Is she dead now?

No one died.

I hope she didn't commit suicide.

Announcer Shin Doyoung is in a coma after being in a car accident.

At 3:20 pm, Shin Doyoung's car was overthrown after hitting the side walls

along the main road in Yeouido.

Ms. Shin was transported to a hospital

after being severely injured.

She's in a coma.

She was on her way home after recording her radio program.

Police believe speeding was the cause of the accident.

Dongwu! What happened?

Doyoung! Doyoung, open your eyes.

I'm here. Open your eyes.

Why'd you do it?

Why'd you do such a stupid thing?

What are you talking about?

Dongwu, what are you talking about?

I don't think it was an accident.

Not an accident?

Are you saying she wanted to kill herself?

It was my fault. I could've stopped it.

Doyoung, wake up.

Open your eyes.

You're such a coward.

How could you do this to me again?

Open your eyes. Get up!

Doyoung.

Doyoung.

Doyoung.

When you talked to her, did you notice anything wrong?

No.

She wasn't trying to avoid the car in front of her,

and there were no skid marks.

It doesn't seem like a simple accident.

She said she was late for her appointment.

I'm sure it was a speeding accident.

Where's Doyoung?

Doyoung.

Doyoung!

You're a fool.

Why'd you have to do it? Why?

Saweol, don't worry.

Your sister is strong. She'll wake up right away.

Doyoung is so heartless. I hate her.

They don't think it's an accident. Don't you think she's spiteful?

She didn't want to say she was sorry.

It's also a sign of weakness.

Your sister is very weak and lonely.

Doyoung, why were you such a coward?

Hurry up and get up.

Get up and hate me for not forgiving you.

The kimchi turned out great thanks to the fresh cabbage.

- Here. - It's really good, mom.

I think I can eat two bowls of rice with this kimchi.

Eat slowly or you'll get sick.

Here.

Oh, I've seen those things somewhere before.

You used to play with them.

You kept them?

Sure, they belonged to you.

And what's that?

It's your dad's dinner when he comes home later.

When is he coming back?

A bit later.

Does he know that I'm here to see you?

I'm not sure.

Have some soup before it gets cold.

Did dad carry me around in a sack?

I told him not to do it but he wouldn't listen to me.

You know how stubborn he can be. He's just like you.

He's so stubborn and he never listens to me.

So why'd you marry him?

Because he was so cool.

Oh, mom.

Hansuk, you look very tired.

Do you want to take a nap after dinner?

No, I haven't seen you for a long time.

There are so many things I want to do.

What do you want to do?

Let's play card games before heading to the sauna.

I'll buy you some clothes.

We can sleep all we want after we shop.

Sounds good.

Here.

Eat this.

I'm not a baby.

If Shin Doyoung caused the accident, she's the most terrible person on earth.

She wanted you to feel bad.

She was willing to die because you revealed the truth.

Stop it, Yongja.

You don't have to feel sorry.

You did the right thing by revealing the truth.

Your sister got rid of you when you were only five years old.

You could've died or gotten into great trouble.

Shin Doyoung should be punished,

but she crashed her own car because she didn't want to be criticized.

She turned you into a bad person.

I told you to stop!

Shin Doyoung must live.

She must wake up from the coma and ask for your forgiveness.

If Shin Doyoung dies, she'll surely end up in hell.

I've never seen such a cruel woman.

You should visit her.

No.

How can you say that when your daughter is in the hospital?

How could she be so bold?

I know the accident was on purpose.

You should still go see her. Tell her how you really feel.

What do you mean?

Her pulse isn't all that normal.

She bled too much after the accident.

Go and see her so you won't have regrets later.

I won't go.

I'm sure that this is exactly what she intended.

She wanted to hide herself without showing any sign of repent.

How are you going to pay for your sins?

Maybe I should crash a car as well.

I can't believe that I met someone like her.

How did things end up like this?

I really hate the heavens.

Mom, you should go.

I'm sure Doyoung wouldn't want me there.

Was there a note?

No, nothing was found.

You should get with it. There's no need to cry.

Think of what your sister did.

It's a present. Open it up.

When I was in the fourth grade, you came to school with a broach on.

You were the substitute teacher that day.

You were so pretty and I was proud of you.

Can't you let me leave this home with a single good memory of you?

Whether you've liked it or not, we've lived together for 30 years.

If I leave without any good memories, I'll feel so sorry for myself.

Cruel girl. She had it all planned.

Doyoung, I was thinking about when you were happiest.

I've had regrets about telling your father the secret.

But Doyoung.

I thought that we could solve the problem together.

That's what I still believe.

Doyoung, get up.

[Voice mail]

Press 1 for voice mail.

Jiyeong, where are you?

Come home right now!

Listen to me, Jiyeong!

Doyoung.

You should get some sleep.

Okay.

Is she still the same?

Yes.

But her pulse is worse than before.

But Doyoung will wake up because she's strong.

Of course. You should go and rest.

Stay with me.

Don't tell me you wanted me to see you leave like this.

Do you remember that I said I'd wait even if you were late?

I'll be waiting.

I can wait until you wake up and apologize for being late.

I can't give up on you.

I trust you, Doyoung.

And I know you're not the type of person to say goodbye like this.

Stop having nightmares and come back to me.

I'll wait.

Just don't take too much time. Be careful.

Mom, did you hear me that time?

The time I cried on air during the radio show.

I sure did.

You cried while you were reading a poem.

In the last part of the poem.

If my mother in heaven were to visit me

I'd be able to call out her name

I'd tell her the one thing that I'd be hiding in my heart

And I'd cry out loud

What was the most difficult part?

I kept my feelings bottled up within me.

I don't remember much now, mom.

Go to sleep.

Already?

It's better to have a deep sleep.

Why?

You have a long way to go tomorrow.

Where am I going?

Go to bed.

I beg you. Please go away.

Is Doyoung still unconscious?

Yes, but her blood pressure is normal,

and she's getting better.

They say it was really a suicide attempt.

That's not true.

Is it true that she's Saweol's sister?

Doyoung will answer the rest when she wakes up.

I beg you. Please go back.

Please go back.

Wait a second. Let me ask you something else.

Please go back. Please leave!

Are they gone?

Yes, they all left.

Mr. Shin.

I just met the doctor.

He told us not to have high hopes.

No, Doyoung is going to wake up.

Yes, I do believe in miracles.

Doyoung is going to wake up.

Her mother isn't here yet?

I have a feeling Doyoung is waiting for you.

I wish you'd go visit her.

She'd get worse if I see her.

Even if that's true, she'll be waiting for you.

Are you here to upset me as well?

I did all I could for Doyoung. I think I loved her a lot.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've done anything for her.

I'm so sorry and I'm heartbroken.

Then you can be good to her on my behalf.

Ms. Choi, go and hold her hand.

You hold it for both of us.

Ms. Choi, are you serious?

Can't you let Doyoung's last days be comfortable?

Last days?

Her condition has gotten worse.

She's was put back on the respirator an hour ago.

Did Junse leave?

Yes.

If you don't want to visit her, at least go to her room.

Aren't you going out?

I'm going now.

We've decorated your room to make you feel good when you wake up.

Please wake up.

Please get up, Doyoung.

It feels weird to see you like this.

Stop crying.

I'm trying to hold back my tears.

I just feel so sorry for Shin Doyoung.

Bad things can turn out for the better. Don't worry.

Come on, Doyoung!

It's been really sunny. I wonder why it's so gloomy today.

I'm cold.

It's because you're thinking of what you've left behind.

I didn't leave anything behind.

Life on earth isn't everything.

But there are things you have to do during your life.

I think I've done everything.

Then that's good enough.

You have to go on this path alone.

No one can go with you.

You have to go alone.

Where?

To the river all the way there.

You still have a chance to go back.

You can go back or travel forward.

It's up to you.

But that'll mean parting with you.

I'd have to wait for you again.

That's not how it works.

Wherever you go, I'll always be with you, Hansuk.

Mom.

In life, you'll come across obstacles,

but you shouldn't be afraid.

Just when you think you're dead, someone will save you.

I don't think so.

If you have someone you trust and love, you'll be saved.

Trust me.

What do you mean? Suicide?

There are many unanswered questions.

I think many people suspect that it was a suicide attempt.

Mr. Jeong, I don't know why I have to pay such a big price.

I'm trying my best to stop reporters from writing stories on the Internet.

Keep up the good work.

I'll leave you two alone.

I'm sure Myeonghan would be heartbroken to find out about his daughter.

I hope that she can wake up so her father isn't hurt.

She'll get up.

I wish I could die in her place.

I wish I could die instead of Hansuk.

Sir, I was thinking about something last night.

I wondered why something like this had to happen to us.

I've been wondering the same thing. I think I know the answer.

What is it?

I've been taught how to make sacrifices to help others.

How are we supposed to do that?

It's easy.

That's how life is supposed to be.

But people let their greed get in the way.

Take me, for instance.

I took one wrong turn and here I am.

I was hurt, and many others were hurt as well.

I think there are many problems that can't be solved by humans.

We need to wait.

And we'll be learning lessons while we wait.

And during the process, we practice how to accept it all.

The unfortunate souls must help each other out.

Life can be difficult,

but there are some good things about life.

You're still such a hot shot.

You should whisper in your sister's ears and tell her to wake up.

Okay.

Mom.

The river is too far to cross but turning back is just as far.

What should I do?

My mother is pretty.

She draws very well. She's a college professor.

When I'm walking around with her, other kids look at me.

I feel so good that I feel like I'm floating on air.

I wish my mom would come to the playground every day.

No matter how well I do in school, my mother only cares about Jiyeong.

I want to ask her why she adopted me in the first place.

Is it because she didn't know that Jiyeong would be born?

Then I'd like to ask the heavens a question.

Why'd you send Jiyeong to our house? Why did I end up being an orphan?

Jiyeong, where have you gone in the cold?

I went to look for you again.

Where did you go?

Where you taken by bad kids?

If that's the truth, I hope you never forgive me.

Jiyeong, I went to the Seoul Tower on a field trip.

I could see all of Seoul.

I opened up my eyes wide just in case I could see you.

I'd jump from the tower if I could find you, Jiyeong.

Why are you so cruel?

You must take after me.

Get up now.

Get up and argue with me instead of writing in your petty diary.

Are you cruel, dim-witted,

or just plain lazy?

My life has been tough for 20 years because of you.

I don't want to live another 30 years like that.

Why are you doing this to me?

Get up right now and come home.

If you don't, I'm going to splash more water on you.

Doyoung, are you asleep?

Doyoung, do you remember the way I kissed you?

Kiss.

It's Jiyeong's turn to kiss Doyoung.

Kiss.

Doyoung, are you really leaving?

Don't leave.

See me for the last time.

I saw mother crying. It's time you came back.

I carried you on my back on this very road.

I don't think I can come here anymore.

Go easy on me, Doyoung.

Come back to me before it's too late.

Want to hear a funny story?

Do you want me to sing?

Or do you want to hear about the movie we were going to watch?

When I was buying the tickets,

I heard what people coming out of the theater were saying.

Do you want to know how it ends?

Please don't do this to me, Doyoung.

My mother died when I was three.

My father put me in an orphanage when he got remarried.

My life hasn't been all fun and games.

So don't do this to me if you love me.

Please, I beg you. Come back.

Please, I beg you. Come back.

Doyoung.

Doyoung.

Doyoung.

Are you leaving? Are you really leaving like this?

Doyoung, get up.

Doyoung, you can't do this to me.

Get up.

Are you comfortable there? You don't want to come back?

Please come back.

You must take after me.

Why are you such a coward?

You have to give me a chance to forgive you.

Doyoung.

Are you still sleeping?

I realized a bit too late that true forgiveness is unconditional.

I was going to forgive you.

But only after you had told everyone the truth and asked for forgiveness.

But that's not true forgiveness.

Get up quick.

I want to show you how much I've matured.

I'll play the guitar for you.

I learned how to play at the orphanage.

I don't play so well, but please listen.

I can tell that she's listening.

It's a song we used to sing together.

Doyoung scolded me so much because I couldn't memorize it.

You deserved it.

Did you hear that?

Everyone takes your side.

You should bring your drums next time.

Why didn't I think of that? She'd wake up for sure.

I know.

The doctor wants to see us.

Doyoung, I love you.

You have to get up, okay?

Doyoung.

Doyoung.

Junse, Doyoung is awake.

- Doyoung. - Doyoung.

Doyoung.

Hello?

Welcome back.

Welcome back, Doyoung.

I'm sorry I'm late.

It's okay. You weren't all that late.

I'm glad you're back.

Mom, don't worry.

I'm not cold.

Don't be scared.

Someone is bound to save you.

What? Shin Doyoung is awake?

Really?

Are you sure?

You don't look so good.

Go up and rest.

I'll make you some porridge soup.

Doyoung, try this.

Mom made it herself.

It's a bit bland, but tell her it tastes good.

I forgot the water.

She had some porridge and slept for a long time.

I'm glad.

Where do we go from here?

Just go with the flow.

You think so?

Saweol, I'm going back to Chicago for a year.

I'll be leaving in two weeks.

It happened all of the sudden.

To be honest, I applied for the post.

What's wrong with me?

Why do the people I love end up leaving me?

I found my parents only to lose my sister.

My sister came back home and now you're leaving?

Come visit me in the fall.

I've been told my house is very big and has many rooms.

What's wrong? You don't like a big house?

It's not that.

There's a jazz bar that Charlie Chaplin used to visit.

I'll take you there. You can sing there if you want.

Okay. I'll go there.

I thank you for forgiving your sister.

You should get comfortable.

I'm fine.

You don't look so good.

Have a seat.

The movie we were going to see finished screening.

I'm sorry.

I prefer to watch you than a movie.

Have you caught a cold, or are you still recovering?

I don't know. I guess it'll get better.

I've never given anyone a ring before.

But I wanted to try.

It's a bit loose.

You should gain some weight to make it fit.

I will.

Do you want to go to Hong Kong with me?

Eat up.

I don't like to hear people say you look sick.

Okay.

Is everyone free tomorrow?

Are we going somewhere?

Doyoung is still too sick to go anywhere.

I was hoping to take a new family portrait since it's been 20 years.

Eat up and get stronger.

I will.

That looks good.

Could the daughters come closer together, please?

Parents, please move to the side a bit more.

Turn your head to the left.

One, two...

Daughters, change places.

Need a touchup?

I'm so lucky to have a new mother and father.

My father is Shin Suho and my mother is Choi Jeonghui.

I'm not Kim Hansuk anymore.

My name is Shin Doyoung. It's a pretty name.

I like my new name very much.

One more time.

Wait a second.

Your blush needs a touchup.

My sister Jiyeong is like cotton candy.

I'm so glad I have a sister with a name that sounds like mine.

I'm Shin Doyoung and my sister is Shin Jiyeong.

That looks good.

Smile. One, two...

I was adopted when I was six.

I was really happy with my new life, but I worried it might end at any time.

My adoptive parents had another baby.

And that baby was Yun Saweol.

What you know is true.

When my sister was five, I left her at Seoul Station.

I came back home alone.

I got rid of my sister.

After that day, my life turned into hell.

I focused on my work, trying to erase my memories.

But as fate would have it, things didn't go my way

and here I am today.

I've committed a big sin.

I tried to die because it was such a big sin,

but I think the heavens gave me another chance to come clean.

From this moment on, I'm stepping down from all my jobs.

I won't be working in TV in the future.

I'm very sorry.

Please criticize me for I have sinned greatly.

You didn't have to that.

I wanted to.

I want to live comfortably from now on.

I feel so light now.

I think I can sleep comfortably for the first time in 20 years.

I heard you're going to Chicago.

Yes. Come and see me with Saweol.

I think I should return this to you, Junse.

We may be breaking up, but I think we can be friends.

I think that's proof that we love each other a lot.

I wasn't good enough for you. I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry, too.

How do you feel?

I know you left the hospital too early.

I feel fine.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to take long naps and have fun.

I don't think I've ever done that in my entire life.

The earth won't stop rotating just because I'm lazy for a few days.

I heard Dongwu is going back to Hong Kong.

He asked me to go with him. I'm thinking about it.

I see.

Junse, I want to thank you for everything.

Can you hold me one last time?

Thank you. I'm sorry.

Take good care of Saweol.

Doyoung.

I'll go.

I'll go to Hong Kong with you.

Go and clean the place up.

It was full of dust the last time I was there.

I thought you were drunk that day. You remember a lot.

Let's go together.

Yeah, let's go together.

The doctors say it's abnormal for her to be up and about.

She'll fall down again.

Doyoung begged the doctor not to tell any of the family members,

but Dr. Kang told me in private.

During the accident, the impact was very severe.

There's something you always tell me.

Things happen in life for a reason.

I'm sure there's a reason why she's alive.

She wouldn't have woken up only to die again.

She's a very strong girl.

She won't fall down again.

Are you tired?

Are you sick?

Jiyeong, can you play the guitar for me?

I've never played for you before.

I think I heard it in my dreams.

You did? Really?

I played the guitar for you at the hospital.

I want to see the ocean.

Let's go.

The sun will rise soon.

Yes, I really want to see the sunrise.

This song's for you.

Jiyeong, you know what?

What?

When you were first born, you smiled at me.

I did? As a newborn?

I thought that I'd be kicked out of the house because of you.

So I was happy when you smiled.

I think I remember it, too.

I smiled at you and asked you to take care of me.

I never hated you.

I just pushed you away because I was scared.

I know.

We spent many good days together.

I think so, too.

I wanted to tell you earlier that I love you.

Ditto.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For everything.

You had a hard life because of me.

It was all my fault.

I want to live, Jiyeong.

I know I can be happy now.

I want to live.

Jiyeong, sing me that song.

Which one.

The one we used to sing.

Let's sing it together.

That's so corny.

You sing it for me.

Did you hear the song when you were dreaming?

I had sung it for you.

I heard it.

It's the reason I was able to come back.

Hello.

Welcome to the show. I'm Shin Doyoung.

They say the purpose of going on trips is to eventually return.

For those who have nowhere to return, do trips have a meaning?

Who are you able to return to?

Aren't you cold? Shall we turn back?

No, let's go to the end.

The end over there?

Tell me if your legs hurt. I'll carry you on my back.

You, too. I'll carry you on my back.
