(Episode 8)

Which model is popular these days?

Who's it for?

It's for a girl who's about to graduate...

from medical school.

Then, how about this one?

It's really popular among young professionals.

Is that so?

All right.

I'll take this one.

Please wrap it nicely.

And...

Please include this too.

You're so thoughtful. Your daughter will love it.

Your daughter, right?

Oh, yes.

My daughter.

Daughter?

Why is the traffic so bad?

- You're back. - Yes.

Sol, don't open that.

You need to ask your dad first.

Mom, look!

It's a tablet PC.

Did Dad say he'd buy you that?

What's gotten into him?

He always grumbled about having no money.

Let's have dinner.

Isn't it a bit too much for a kid?

Kids all have these lately.

Buying expensive stuff like it's nothing will spoil him.

Mom, it's not a big deal to get him this.

"Congratulations on your graduation."

"Marie, you'll be a great doctor."

Hey, Sol!

Oh, that's...

Why are you touching my stuff without permission?

Look at that boy.

Why are you scolding him?

You said you didn't have money.

You said stuff like this is too much for kids.

I paid for it in 12 installments.

And Marie is not a kid. She's an adult.

You...

She graduated from medical school on her own.

Passed her licensing exam too.

Surely, she deserves a gift like this.

Why do you have to be the one giving it to her?

Why can't I?

Mom, why aren't you saying anything?

Oh, right. You're on Marie's side too.

I'm not siding with anyone.

Yes, you are.

Everyone feels sorry for Marie, thinks she's admirable...

Always Marie...

Anyone would think you're her father.

Don't talk nonsense!

Mom!

It's a special graduation.

And she's not a stranger.

Even so, this is a bit too much.

Wouldn't it look better if I or she gave it to her?

Return it...

before I tear the whole thing apart.

This is...

Does he know?

No way.

Never.

(Director Eom Ki Bun)

Hello.

Let's send Marie.

I'll help out with this.

Why did you change your mind?

I didn't.

Marie wants to go, so we should support her dream.

Yes, sure.

Thank you.

With that skill, you want to join the art prep class?

So I can be with you.

You feel the same way, don't you?

I told you clearly not to fool around.

I'm not fooling around.

Since the group date, I've only thought about you.

The group date?

If I'd known you were in high school, I wouldn't have gone!

Liar!

You fell for me at first sight.

I could see.

Don't be ridiculous.

Anyway,

you're not even close to the prep class with your skills.

The theme was to draw your future. And what is this?

Even an elementary student would do better.

They told me to draw my future.

This is my future.

Planning to open a jewelry shop?

A refined lady.

I'll be a refined lady as your wife.

If she hadn't met me,

would she have become a lady?

(Eom Hospital)

Where's Si Ra?

The manager has been looking for her.

She switched to the afternoon, but still isn't here?

If she gets fired, it'll be hard to find another job.

- The companies all talk. - Really?

She's not answering my calls.

Can you call her to hurry up?

Do you think she'll answer mine?

- What? - That crazy girl.

All her life...

Oh, what was it?

Marie installed something.

The one that tells me where she is.

- A tracking application? - Something like that.

Think about how Marie ended up installing it!

She disappears all the time...

She's nearby. It looks like she's on her way.

She actually has a tiny bit of sense of responsibility, though.

She's close,

but she's not moving from the cafe.

Just get the time card stamped first, and then she can argue later.

Just leave it.

If she gets fired, so be it.

It's been a while since I got that ring. Are you upset I haven't said anything?

So, have you made up your mind?

It's my second marriage, there's so much to think about.

It's taking me a while.

What is this?

Use it freely.

The limit is 5,000 dollars,

so use it freely.

Still...

Come on.

It's instead of a gift.

They say that women also like picking things out themselves.

That's what everyone says.

Anyway,

what you told me last time...

Can I believe it?

What's that?

You said that regardless of our relationship,

you would give us a clinic spot in your building without a rent fee.

Of course.

Money is all I have,

so I should help people who deserve it.

Marie deserves it.

Once she opens her clinic, she'll make it.

She's not a doctor yet, but...

I know that much.

Until that resi... Whatever.

It takes 3 or 4 years, right?

Before that,

we can get married...

or just stay like this. I'm fine either way.

It's so crazy.

Still,

considering my age,

three or four years is a bit too long.

So what?

Then, should we move in together first?

Getting married?

Sure, why not? Let's do it.

What did you just say?

Are you sure?

When was it?

Today. By accident.

Crazy, right?

I told you this guy was suspicious.

And your dad happened to show up...

Why can't she just date someone normal?

I'd better end it before my dad finds out.

What will you do?

Meet him. Right away.

Right away? How?

A three-way meeting.

A three-way meeting?

I'm Lee Gang Se.

I completed my internship at the Hankuk University Hospital...

after graduating from the same school.

What motivated you to apply to OB-GYN?

I'm a doctor who deals with human life,

and OB-GYN is where the sanctity of life begins.

It's physically demanding. Are you sure you can handle it?

I have maintained my fitness consistently...

and completed my internship without issue, so I'm sure there will be no problems.

What are your thoughts on abortion?

A woman's right to self-determination and a fetus's right to life conflict.

I really wanted to see you one last time.

I miss you, my son.

I love you.

Isn't it better for both if an unwanted child is not born?

If you answer like that, you'll be attacked immediately.

No one has the authority to decide another person's life,

not even a mother.

"Everyone is born with their own bowl," as my grandmother used to say.

I want to do everything I can to ensure the birth of healthy, well-loved babies.

Everyone dreams of that.

But reality is often otherwise.

Even so, compromising with reality doesn't seem like what a good doctor would do.

Is that the real reason you chose OB-GYN?

Were you even curious?

About why I chose it?

I was a little disappointed you never asked.

Who am I to question a decision that is yours to make?

I'm curious about everything that concerns you.

A couple who engaged in an affair comes to the Sperm Center for a child.

You learn on the spot that they are having an affair.

Say, the legal wife shows up.

What would you do?

That is quite a question.

An affair, artificial insemination, and the legal wife.

Is it a soap opera or something?

Right.

It is unrealistic.

Are you the interviewer or my friend Marie now?

Answer first.

Honestly, I don't think the affair itself is the key issue.

What matters more is how sincere they are,

although that wouldn't be easy to discern.

That was an unfair question.

So, how are your grades?

Excellent, I would think.

Maybe?

They say passion and a doctor's character matter more than grades.

- Who said that? - A very renowned doctor.

Someone widely respected.

She asked for a cup of tea. Where did she go?

Oh, my. Early overseas education?

That's a bit too early.

Then, I could go with him.

In that case,

I should focus on perfecting his English.

Do you have to work tomorrow?

Yes.

A part-time job Aunt Sook Hee's friend introduced me to.

It ends at three, so I'm free in the afternoon.

Why?

- At Eom Hospital? - Yes.

That's great.

I'll come by around that time, so wait for me.

I have something to give you,

something to tell you, and something to do with you.

That's a lot of somethings.

You can look forward to it.

See you.

Look at these huge ones.

Who could have sent these to our Marie?

There's no name on the package.

Short hair?

That can't be. He looks like a student. This is too expensive.

I'm home.

Perfect timing.

This came under your name, but there's no sender listed.

It's from one of the mothers at the postpartum care center.

Is that so?

These are obviously wild-caught.

Is it okay to accept something like this?

I'm uncomfortable too.

If she'd told me beforehand, I would've refused.

Come on. It's just a kind gesture. Let's enjoy it.

What should I make with it?

Whatever you want, Grandma.

Where's Mom?

She went out to meet Sook Hee.

It's so great grilled with butter,

and it's good when made into porridge with a generous amount of sesame oil.

What a pleasant surprise, thanks to our Marie.

Are you really planning to marry that Mr. Hong?

What's the big deal about it?

I did it once, why not twice?

Marriage isn't a joke.

Is that easy for you?

It's hard for you, maybe.

If life gets easier, why not?

Does this decision have anything to do with Doctor Kang coming back?

What does he have to do with anything?

What? He wants to take Marie?

That's ridiculous.

He's her father. He wants to take her abroad to study, isn't that the right way?

Sending Marie away is right?

What are you, taking a test?

Who decided what's right or wrong?

There you go again, getting worked up.

How could I not get worked up?

Ask anyone on the street.

Ten out of ten would say to send her.

When else would she get such a chance?

Most people could only dream of it.

Why should I ask strangers about my daughter?

Then, why are you asking me?

You all agreed without me?

Why is everyone so desperate to send Marie away?

You and Doctor Kang got divorced,

not Marie.

No matter what anyone says, she's still his daughter.

Isn't it stranger to stop a father from supporting his own child's education?

Seriously.

Since we're on the subject, let me ask you something.

Why did you get divorced?

What?

I've been dying to know, but I kept quiet.

No, I waited.

I thought you would tell me someday.

And it's been 20 years now.

Don't you think it's time you told me the truth?

Don't ask.

Don't even try to find out.

And Marie is the daughter I traded my own life for.

No one has the right to tell me whether I should let her go or not.

Si Ra.

Traded her life for?

Yes.

Do you remember this?

Of course.

It's been a while.

Dad brought this back himself from Germany.

It was my gift for passing the medical licensing exam.

All my classmates were so jealous.

It's practically a classic now.

When I passed the exam, you gave it to me,

and I was really touched.

You are really easily moved, aren't you?

I was going to send you the latest edition from America,

but this one felt more meaningful.

But why did you bring this here?

I want to give it to a junior as a gift.

Would that be okay?

Don't tell me. Is it that ambiguous someone?

So, she's your junior.

You two are dating, right?

I was actually going to give this to her and ask her out properly.

What kind of person is she?

She's a year below me.

She just passed her licensing exam and is going to graduate.

What drew you to her?

Since when?

I noticed her at the freshman party, and I kept seeing her everywhere.

Not in libraries or seminar rooms,

but at convenience stores, cafes, art museums, and little bars.

Still, she never missed class,

and her grades were great.

Sometimes, she'd doze off...

or nap curled up wherever she was.

She must have worked hard.

It sounds like there's some grit in her.

That cold, distant attitude felt like her way of protecting her pride.

Deep down, she's soft and warm.

You've really fallen for her, haven't you?

Be careful. You might be disappointed once that spell wears off.

Sometimes, what you see really is who they are.

There's a child named Sae Mi who's on the autism spectrum.

The only ones who talk to Sae Mi while making eye contact...

are Director Eom and me.

And it took me such a long time until I reached the point of doing it.

Can you believe it? Sae Mi opened her heart to her at once.

Now, I'm really curious to see her.

I'll show her to you soon.

I can't wait for it.

I'm sure you'll like her too.

This is Aunt Ki Bun.

She's up for sending her.

This is Mom.

She won't send her.

Sook Hee.

Up for sending her.

Marie.

Marie?

I can't send her. I won't!

I must be the one to decide it, after all!

What are all these?

These just almost killed me!

How can you sleep right now?

Si Ra!

Fine. Just sleep.

Manager Park fired you.

I'm going to get married.

But how?

Your building cleaning job is gone as the word got out.

I said I'd get married for money!

What?

Are you saying you'll get married?

To that guy called Mr. Hong?

Breakfast is ready. Have some before you go.

Don't you have to show him to me first?

- Who? - You said you were getting married.

I must see him, at least once.

Did you hear us?

Yes.

Grandma also mentioned it.

Let's skip the fancy meal...

and just have some tea instead.

Why aren't you asking me what kind of guy he is?

I'll see when I see him.

- I'll get going. - Okay.

Gosh. Right. The two must meet, anyway.

What about me?

You too. I'll find a day soon.

Geez. What's the point of meeting him...

without any accessories?

Let's go!

Where?

Mr. Hong said I could use it as much as I wanted.

Let alone accessories,

I'll get you shoes, clothes, and even a hat.

I'll also treat you to a meal for some energy for shopping.

Really?

My goodness.

When did you get here?

A little after nine.

Marie.

I don't like too much any more than I like too little.

We just have to follow through on what we've agreed on.

Okay.

Did you touch my desk?

I just tidied it up a bit because it was a bit too messy.

Marie.

Just focus on your own business,

according to the terms and rules.

Okay.

This is your job today.

It's only 9:35 a.m.

Can you say that again at ten?

Then, why did you come this early?

I told you to get here just five minutes earlier.

I don't believe it's your concern...

where I am before work.

This is my office,

and having someone here for no reason bothers me very much.

Come to work right on the dot from tomorrow.

Oh, tomorrow is your last day.

I'll arrive here five minutes before my shift as of today.

See you later.

What was that?

She decides it like that when it was she who started all this?

I should've said yes right away!

What on earth is wrong with you, Marie?

See you at the brunch cafe near the hospital at 4 p.m.

What?

Why is everything so expensive here?

Don't make a fuss.

Just order everything you want.

Everything I want?

Let me see.

Then,

I'll have this and this.

And this too.

And this, please.

- Good. - Sure.

You placed an order without asking me at all?

I ordered the most expensive dishes, so don't worry.

Is it really okay to spend his money like this?

We're far from done.

Let's get some shoes after lunch.

I think the color of this blouse is a bit dull.

Still, red isn't really an option.

It looks like you're at a butcher shop.

You'll understand when you get older,

red is the first thing your eyes go to.

Then, should we go get another one?

Can we?

It's the original copy of my resident application.

I submitted all the other forms online.

(Lee Gang Se)

It's been submitted.

Thank you.

Hi, Marie.

The cafe on the left side of the front gate?

I'll be there as soon as my work is done.

I think I'll make it by 5 p.m. at the latest.

Don't worry. I'll be waiting until you come.

See you, then.

Should we move in together first?

The baby looks just like you!

Isn't it fascinating?

We'll get going.

Let's go.

How dare she propose to Mom when he had a baby recently?

(Marie and Her Three Daddies)

I'm Moon Sook Hee.

I'm Dr. Lee's friend.

That sly brat had someone in his corner.

What should I say?

What's going on there?

Joo Si Ra.

I'm Gu Gi Ja, Hong Deok Gil's wife.

You knew everything about Mr. Hong?

I had no idea if you've been living like this.

How much worse do you have to make me feel before you're satisfied?
