EPISODE 10

What was Han Jeong-gi's VAS again?

It was eight when you last checked,

and he keeps telling us that his feet feel cold and numb.

Add fentanyl to his medication starting from tonight.

And please keep checking his VAS.

Lee Kang!

I suddenly missed you so much, and I couldn't stand it.

My goodness, what happened to your face?

Why do you look so startled?

It's okay for us to be affectionate like this.

I'm Dr. Lee's lover.

My gosh, it's so funny that I'm starting to tear up.

I think that nurse we saw earlier really believes

that I'm your girlfriend.

My goodness.

My gosh, there's a fly here.

She was so shocked that her face turned pale.

I'll bet my entire fortune and one of my toes

that she has feelings for you.

What are you doing here?

I came because I missed you.

I missed both you and Jun.

I heard Jun is here. My goodness.

I can't believe Jun beat someone up

and ended up doing community service.

I always thought Jun was emotionless.

He was always like a robot that never made mistakes.

But I have to say,

this place not only has an amazing view, but the air is so nice and clean.

Your grandmother is right. We should get rid of the hospice

and build the best membership silver town

that this country has ever seen.

That will be amazing.

We should be on the same side, Kang.

I'll help you out from now on.

You can eat the bread.

I'll just eat the crumbs off the table.

Remember Kim Hui-ju, the patient you saved?

I can reach out to her through my acquaintances.

I'll try to raise a huge issue about what happened

by persuading her to sue the hospice and Director Kwon.

I heard Kim Hui-ju's husband

used to be Director Kwon's favorite pupil.

An attorney told me that if we do the right job,

we could sue him for accessory...

Actually, we could even go for accomplice in murder.

My goodness, where's my lighter?

My lighter... Do you have one?

Excuse me! Hey, you over there that just got off the bicycle!

-Me? -Yes, you.

Will you hurry up?

May I help you?

Do you have a lighter?

-Aunt. -Pardon?

Don't you have a lighter? Don't you smoke?

A lot of young people smoke these days.

You're not allowed to smoke here. This place is near the ward--

My gosh, I'll make sure the smell doesn't reach the ward.

If you wish to smoke, you can smoke outside the hospice.

It's bad for the patients.

My gosh, this isn't that harmful.

Plus, the patients here can't be treated, and they're dying anyway.

Aunt.

Am I wrong, Dr. Lee?

A little sniff of smoke

isn't going to have a huge effect on anyone's life.

That's enough.

The people here at the hospice

aren't just people who are dying.

They're living their lives here.

And they're cherishing every day that they have.

just like us, ma'am.

My goodness.

Did you just call me "ma'am"?

My goodness, do I seriously look that old to you?

My gosh, do you even know who I am?

I said that's enough, Aunt!

My gosh, you startled me. Why would you yell at me like that?

What if I was pregnant?

Stop it.

You should be apologizing.

What did I do wrong?

All I did was ask her for a lighter.

You're not allowed to smoke here.

So please keep that in mind.

My gosh, who does she think she is? Hey!

My gosh, Kang.

You should go now. I can't see you off.

My goodness.

I'm scared you might kill me if I say another word to you!

My goodness, who does she think she is?

Hey, where are you?

What about school?

Is the school over?

I don't have the Zika virus.

Didn't Cha-young text you?

I just read it.

My gosh, I'm sorry. I need to live a long life, you see.

I understand.

What do you do when there's someone

you want to apologize to?

Then you just go and apologize.

Yes, you're right.

If you're sorry, you just apologize.

Forget it. Let's go.

You called me to ask me that?

What? Do you want to do something with me?

You like someone, don't you?

I know you like someone, Dr. Lee.

Who do you think I like?

HOSPITAL

HOSPITAL STAFF

Gotcha.

Got what?

That you like her.

I don't like her.

I knew you'd say that.

Then why are you blushing and looking so flustered?

What are you talking about? I'm not blushing, and I'm not flustered.

Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret.

Ye-sol also promised her that she'll keep it a secret.

I'm doomed.

She made me promise not to tell anyone.

She told you that she thinks I like her?

MIN-YONG

I'm sorry.

I accidentally told Dr. Lee that I know

that he has feelings for you. I'm really sorry.

That brat, I can't believe he told him!

My goodness!

What are you doing?

Your eyes won't burn as much if you do this.

Why are you telling me this now?

You just stood there and watched me suffer.

I didn't watch you. I was busy making fritters.

I personally think

this works best.

I'd love to help, but you're here to get punished.

So keep up the good work.

There we go.

I've always been meaning to ask you.

How did you meet Kang?

You don't seem like his patient.

A doctor and a chef

are totally different occupations, too.

You guys seem pretty close.

Come on. Tell me about your relationship.

We're short of hands, so I won't have time to peel these.

It looks like you have time to spare, so please peel these as well.

Do you like Kang?

Are you okay?

-Let me see. -I'm okay.

Gosh, that's a bad burn. You'll get a blister.

I'm okay.

Stay still. Let's cool it down first.

I have a burn plaster.

Did my question about Kang

fluster you that much?

Enough to even burn your hand?

I don't have feelings for Dr. Lee Kang.

He's a doctor I'll always thank for having saved my life.

But it's nothing more or less.

CAFETERIA

DIRECTOR, KWON HYEON-SEOK

Why don't you ever listen to me?

I'm not going to eat this. Take it back.

I didn't make it.

Cha-young made it.

She knows that the staff and guardians are always busy

taking care of the patients.

So she wanted to show everyone the seasonal vegetables and flowers

by making a dish out of them.

I don't care. I don't want to eat it, so please take it back.

I asked Ms. Ha to hire someone new that can replace me.

I'll leave as soon as she hires someone

now that Michael got to eat his mother's handmade kimchi stew.

Thank you for everything, Director Kwon.

Your mom's gone crazy. Come home as fast as you can.

What's going on?

Your mom wants to get a divorce.

Please give me your approval, Mother.

Don't give her your approval, Mom. I can't live without her.

I've had enough.

It looks like you've already made up your mind.

I don't want to live miserably thinking that there might somehow be hope.

Please let me leave.

-Honey. -Mom.

Go ahead and leave.

-Mom! -Grandma.

Go ahead. I won't ask you to stay.

I can't even live one second without you.

The moment you leave this house,

I'll just bite my tongue and kill myself.

If you don't want to lose your son,

you'd better change your mind.

Will you please let me go?

Mr. Choe recently got investigated by the prosecution

for illegal recruitment, didn't he?

I heard grandpa was the one who asked him

to do him a favor. Is that true?

The firm that supplies ingredients

to our hospital cafeteria caused a stir for

having supplied fake Korean beef last month.

And I heard Uncle had been benefitting from that.

Why are you suddenly

talking about your uncle?

Grandma already knows everything.

She knows all your weaknesses.

If you leave, what will happen to them?

Grandma obviously won't stay still.

I've seen enough of your pretentious act.

I'm too tired to put up with it now.

-Housekeeper. -Yes, ma'am.

Was it just an act?

Hey, Ms. Cha. This is Ha Yeong-sil.

Hey.

I feel like there's something suspicious

about Michael's mother and twin brother.

Susan was very careful when she told me this.

But she doesn't think the kimchi stew

tasted like what Michael had in mind.

Okay, I understand.

My precious son.

You're handsome enough to be an actor.

It must be nice to look so handsome.

People think I look like a criminal.

Everyone gets off the elevator whenever I get on.

I mean, you gave birth to twins.

You should've made sure I came out this handsome as well.

Hey.

Shut your mouth and go to work.

Hey, I heard your adoptive parents are really rich.

Your dad owns a company, right?

Then your family must be rich.

Just a little.

Life is so unfair.

Mom couldn't even receive surgery after she hurt her back

because we didn't have any money.

Stop talking nonsense and just go to an internet cafe!

Mom, you couldn't receive surgery because you didn't have any money?

My goodness, don't worry about it.

My back is fine. I just need to wear a waist support belt.

It's okay. I'm fine.

You can't take your money with you when you die anyway.

So how about you spend it to help Mom?

If she didn't give birth to you, you wouldn't even be in this world.

Will you please shut your damn mouth?

It's not Seong-cheol's money. It belongs to his American parents!

You little punk.

What is this? Is it raining? Gosh, it's raining.

Hey, let's go inside.

Come here and push his wheelchair!

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

But would you mind

cooking another pot of kimchi stew?

Why?

Seong-cheol liked the one I made earlier.

The thing is,

I think he lied because he didn't want to disappoint you.

Apparently, it didn't taste like the one he had been craving.

Why? Why not?

I used the same kind of kimchi

and the same type of method to cook that kimchi stew.

What's this nonsense? Why are you cooking kimchi stew again?

I don't know.

The one I cooked earlier apparently didn't taste the same.

-Why? What was the problem? -Why don't you try it?

It's delicious. I don't get what's wrong.

Where do you keep your sugar?

Don't you have any sugar? Is this it?

Where's the sugar? Is this it?

It's sugar.

He was right. I forgot to add sugar.

My gosh, I should've added this. Then it would've tasted way better.

Let me try it.

You're right. This tastes a lot better. It tastes even more delicious now.

-Right? -Yes.

Let's take this to Seong-cheol before it gets cold.

Okay, it's all done. Here.

Give me that dishcloth.

What do you think you're doing? Why would you throw it away?

Have you lost your mind?

Why are you here?

What?

Why did you show up when you were the one who abandoned him?

-What is she saying? -She must be crazy.

Are you here for money?

Are you here to steal money from a dying child?

What the hell did you just say to me?

A family

isn't something you can throw away and find again whenever you please.

-You little... -You crazy bitch. Mom, move aside.

-Hey. -Hey!

Hey, you'd better watch what you say.

Who do you think you are to say that kind of stuff?

What do you take us for?

I get that you abandoned him,

but I can't believe you forgot.

-That crazy wench. -It's the least you could do

-as a human being and his family. -Hey.

-Unbelievable. -Who do you think you are?

Your son, Jo Seong-cheol,

isn't allowed to eat sugar.

He gets rashes on his skin if he eats sugar.

He can't even breathe, so he will pass out.

I know you abandoned him,

but you shouldn't have forgotten about it.

You're his mom after all.

It's so itchy.

-My goodness. -It's really itchy.

Why aren't you not listening to me?

Where? What's wrong?

I told you not to eat this candy.

Seong-cheol, you should never eat this candy, okay?

You rascal. Why did you not stop him?

Seong-cheol should never eat this.

Let me see. Where does it itch?

Hang on.

Let's put this on you.

Mom, it really hurts.

-Mom. -It's okay.

Mom!

What the hell was that?

Who the hell do you think you are? Who are you to say that?

Mom.

Mom.

Mommy's going to buy you a birthday gift.

Meet me at the department store after school.

Mom. It's me, Cha-young.

I'm waiting for you at the department store. Why aren't you coming?

I've been here for three hours already. When are you coming?

I'll wait on the first floor.

-Oh, really? -It's funny.

What was that?

-So I told him... -Oh my gosh!

-You see, it's crazy. -Yes, it is.

For how long has the patient of Room 203 been getting his 100ml dextrose infusion?

It's been over two hours.

I see.

Dr. Lee, the thing is...

I really didn't mean to say that.

But Min-yong got the words out and caused some misunderstanding.

I don't get what you're saying. What are you talking about?

I'm just saying that I have no excuse

for what I said.

She told you that she thinks I like her?

Cha-young!

Cha-young. Cha-young!

If you're a chef, just make food.

Why must you follow the patients around and cause trouble like this?

Do you know how worried I was while I was searching the mountain?

Happy birthday.

I hope you're never sick again.

Especially on your birthdays.

I'm sorry

if I did anything to cause a misunderstanding.

I just realized

what I've done to you might have been misleading.

It's my mistake

and my fault.

I'm Min-seong's friend.

I know better than anyone

how Min-seong loved you.

And I supported

your love more than anyone.

So, to me, you are...

still Min-seong's...

I know what you mean.

To me,

Dr. Lee...

You're still Min-seong's friend.

I've never forgotten it before.

You don't have to worry.

Okay.

Even if you end up falling for Cha-young,

just swallow your feelings.

I refuse to end up in a love triangle with you.

I'm sorry I made a joke. He's my best friend.

His name is Lee Kang.

Am I responsible for his misfortunes

when we broke up over four years ago?

To me, Dr. Lee...

You're still Min-seong's friend.

I've never forgotten it before.

You don't have to worry.

Stop adding it. It will be too salty.

It's like salt soup.

It's not salty at all.

It's too bland.

Hey.

What's wrong with you, Cha-young?

What is going on?

I just put in a lot of salt,

but why doesn't it taste salty at all?

Are you crazy? Do you want to salt your tongue or what?

Spit it out now.

Just spit it out. It's not good for your tongue.

What do I do?

It's not salty at all,

Tae-hyun.

Please lie down.

GEOSUNG UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

GEOSUNG HOSPICE

Ye-sol.

How were you?

This way, please.

Thank you.

Thanks to you,

I can stay with my mom anytime I want.

You don't have to thank me.

Anyway.

This is for you. I think you like it.

Put it on your finger and eat it when you feel like it.

I'll buy you a new one once you finish it.

The people here at the hospice

aren't just people who are dying.

They're living their lives here.

And they're cherishing every day

that they have.

DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

What are you doing, Ye-sol? Are you doing homework?

Hello, Ms. King's Table.

Have some of this.

What's that?

It's a wedding invitation. Thank you.

A wedding invitation? For whom?

It's an invitation for the marriage of my mom and dad.

My grandpa opposed their marriage,

so they couldn't hold a wedding.

Can I get an invitation then?

This is for my grandpa.

I'll draw a new one for you...

Do you want this one?

Even if I give this to Grandpa,

he will just kick me out.

Why would your grandpa kick out an adorable granddaughter like you?

When I was six,

I went to see him with my dad, but he threw us out.

"I don't have a grandchild like you.

Get out of here."

That's what he said.

And he kicked me out again when I went alone last year.

I wasn't even there to see Grandpa back then.

I just wanted to have a steamed bun that Grandpa was selling.

Is your grandpa that scary?

My grandpa is freaking scary...

Mom told me not to say such things to my elders.

Anyway,

he's really terrifying.

Do you want me to come with you?

YOU ARE INVITED

DUMPLINGS AND STEAMED BUNS

We'd like three steamed buns with the red bean sauce.

Hello, Grandpa. It's me, Ye-sol.

They look delicious, don't they?

Do you want some steamed buns?

Excuse me. We'd like a plate of steamed buns.

Where are you going?

The washroom. I'll be back in a second.

Sit.

I'll be quick.

And I'll have a word with your grandpa when I'm back.

I'd like some dumplings, please.

I can't...

I can't believe you're peeling radishes right now.

Tae-hyun.

Let's go see a different doctor.

That doctor seemed like a quack.

I mean, he totally looked like one.

Okay, let's talk later.

I need to finish the meal preparation first.

You can't taste or smell anything.

How are you going to prepare meals?

Tae-hyun.

Cha-young, please. Let's go see another doctor!

Tae-hyun.

What do you mean?

She can't taste or smell anything? Why not?

I took her to the hospital earlier.

She hurt her head a little--

Tae-hyun.

Oh, right. You said you're a doctor.

Please help my sister. She's--

Go tell everyone that there's something wrong with your sister.

Go ahead and tell the whole world about it!

Hey, Cha-young!

Ma'am, which bus should I take to go to Cheongnyangni from here?

Where are we now?

We're in Sanggye-dong.

Sanggye-dong?

What am I doing here?

YOU ARE INVITED

What's taking her so long?

I saw the copy of your MRI scan that your brother has on his phone.

Sit down.

This is soap.

Can you smell it?

Can you smell the soap?

No, I can't.

Then what about this?

Did you hit your head hard recently by any chance?

-You crazy bitch. Mom, move aside. -Hey.

Hey!

As the doctor stated,

I think you lost your sense of smell due to the injury.

The olfactory nerve damage

is also affecting your sense of taste.

You might experience diplopia too,

but that will go away with time.

Then,

will my senses of taste and smell also come back eventually with time?

What did the doctor say?

He said that it may or may not happen.

I agree with him. They may return,

or they may not.

Does Kang know about it too?

No, he doesn't. Please don't tell him.

Dr. Lee!

-Yes. -Oh, sorry. Not you.

Dr. Lee Jun.

Shouldn't you be peeling radishes? What are you doing here?

If I pass out because of high blood pressure,

it's all her fault.

I can sue this hospice for oppression, exploitation,

and human rights abuses, right?

Sure, go ahead. Then we'll sue you as well for calumny.

Okay? Sue us all you want.

-Don't you have work to do? -Stop bluffing.

-You have too much time on your hands. -Yes, I do!

Go. Go on your way.

Hey!

What the hell are you going to do?

My mom is bawling and won't even eat

because of you.

What will you do about it?

Are you sure it's because of me?

What?

Are you sure it's my fault?

Yes, I'm sure. What are you going to do?

It's because you talked bullshit to her.

Go ask her directly before you blame me like this.

Ask her if she's really bawling her eyes out and not eating

because of what I said to her.

Make sure it's indeed my fault,

then come blame me all you want.

You can grab me by the collar

or even kill me if you'd like.

Hey.

Stop right there.

I said, stop!

What will you do if she stops?

I asked you what you'll do if she stops.

Will you hit her?

Are you rich?

Mind your own business, doctor.

Also,

how dare you address to her so rudely?

She's no friend of yours, is she?

You little shit, I'll teach you how to behave.

Hey.

Why won't you listen to me?

Do you really want to see me going crazy?

Are you the only cook in this kitchen?

If that is the case,

tell them you're not well and that you can't cook.

They can order their own food for all I care!

Moon Cha-young!

Since when were you so worried about me?

What?

When I needed you so desperately

and asked you to come,

you were never around.

That was because Mom--

"Mom, Cha-young must be having such a hard time all by herself.

She doesn't have anyone.

Let's go back and be there for her."

Weren't you old enough

to say that to Mom?

I did say that.

I told Mom, but she...

A 12-year-old girl

held out and survived in the ruins of a collapsed department store

amongst dying people,

without even knowing

that her mom and brother abandoned her.

I had no idea that you were stuck in the ruins.

In the past few decades,

there were even tougher challenges than that.

But I endured

and got through them.

If I let myself fall apart here,

it'll be the end of me.

If I let myself become weak now,

I'll never rise again, for good.

If I give up now...

I'm not sure what happened to me.

I can't quite figure out what happened to me,

what happens when a chef loses her senses of taste and smell,

what I'm supposed to think about this,

and how I should react.

I just can't figure it out at the moment.

If I manage to figure it out by this evening,

I'll decide then.

Who cares about the meal prep?

I'll forget all about it

and decide what kind of anger and despair

I should be feeling.

Hello, chef.

Hello.

What brings you here?

I have a favor to ask of you.

Sure, what is it?

It's my wedding anniversary today,

so I wanted to ask you to make something for me and my wife.

I'm sorry. She's not feeling well, so...

Gosh.

I mean, there's a bit of a situation, so she can't do it today.

Congratulations, sir.

Tell me what kind of dish you'd like me to make.

Come on, Cha-young. Please!

-Mister, my sister is-- -Hey, Tae-hyun.

-She can't-- -I'm sorry.

It's not the time for her to be cooking for some anniversary...

Oh, you and your crazy talk.

Gosh, let go. Hear me out, please!

It's time to take your medications.

-Let's go. -I'm sorry.

Oh, wait.

What kind of dish would you like me to make?

Well, I feel bad asking you this,

but my wife is Vietnamese.

Yes, I know.

Hoàng, right?

It's a dish we had together

when we first met.

It's ready to go.

You said Hoàng

is craving bun cha from that restaurant, right?

The one inside Ben Thanh Night Market in Ho Chi Minh City.

Yes.

If I weren't ill,

I'd take her to that restaurant in Vietnam.

Hold on.

When I was studying to be a chef years ago,

I had bun cha

at Ben Thanh Night Market.

There was a place that was very famous for bun cha.

Gosh.

Didn't the restaurant

have a red sign, by any chance?

Maybe it did.

The restaurant's name was

Hang... It was "Hang" something.

-Hang... -Hang.

-Hang Quat! -Hang Quat!

That place is very famous.

-Yes, it is. -My gosh, it is that place.

I think

they put a lot of shallot and lemon in their sauce.

It is that restaurant. I'm sure of it.

I'll do my best

to make it taste as close to it as possible,

so please taste it for me.

I can't really taste things at the moment.

Thank you

so much.

Happy anniversary.

Thank you.

When did you prepare all this?

Happy anniversary, honey.

You told me

about how much

you wanted to have bun cha.

Remember

our first date years ago?

The bun cha we had together

at Ben Thanh Night Market.

The chef here made it.

She made it just for you.

This cake too.

You should blow out the candle first.

Have some before it gets cold.

Let's eat together.

I'll eat later.

I still can't digest too well.

Dig in.

Is it good?

It's so good.

It tastes just like the bun cha we had

at Ben Thanh Night Market.

You moved to a foreign country where you don't even have any relatives

just to be with me,

but all I did was cause you suffering,

and I'll die soon.

I'm sorry.

You see,

in our next lives,

we should be born in the same country.

And

let's meet sooner in life

so that we can love each other more and longer.

Either...

Either

I'll be born in Vietnam to be with you,

or you can be born in Korea.

Thank you for everything.

I love you.

I want to thank you as well.

I love you, honey.

Subtitle translation by Young-ju Kim

Please do not shut down the hospice.

What would your mother think

if she saw you now?

Mom!

Whether it's Greece or elsewhere,

go see the bigger world out there, Cha-young.

Move to a place where you can prosper with your amazing talent.

Thank you

for everything.

I'm going to quit my job here.

Take care of your health.

Goodbye.

Something that is Sujebi

but isn't. Do you know what it is?

Can you just make that before you leave?

For one last time.
