We'll start the final round of chemo today.

Episode 50 We'll start the final round of chemo today.

We'll start the final round of chemo today.

It's 7 times stronger than the previous one...

...and it's to kill all cancer cells and stem cells.

So it will be harder than before.

7 times? The previous one almost killed her.

When is she going to a clean room?

After the chemo. She'll get the transplant there. It will take about 2 hours.

Till the bone marrow successfully grafts...

...she'll be isolated in the clean room for a month.

All patients say it's the hardest to bear.

I see.

Doctor. What is the matching rate with the donor?

Not that high. A little less than 60%, so it's almost a half match.

But it's the best option...

...and half matching transplants have higher success rates nowadays.

Father, even a 100% match fails sometimes.

Ok. I see.

We'd like to thank the donor. Can you give us the number?

We're not allowed to reveal the donor's identity to you.

But we'd like to thank her.

I'll convey your message.

It's against the rule. Go in. I'll stop by whenever I can.

Did you wait long?

She'll start chemo soon.

Your sister will get accelerant 5 days later and the transplant in a week.

I see.

Geum Lee's parents want to know about you. Why not tell them?

There's no reason to and I have no right to.

Also, my sister doesn't want it. Please don't reveal it.

Ok.

Thank you. I'll bring my sister 5 days later.

Geum will be fine, right?

Mom...

You worry that much?

I don't. I'm not worrying.

I trust you. More than anyone.

Mom, I wanna hear the story when you first saw me at the orphanage.

I was dragged to volunteer by your grandma.

At the corner was a dirty little kid who wouldn't cry.

Other kids wouldn't leave my side, but you stayed alone all day.

After 6 visits I decided to quit.

And you still didn't look me in the eye.

When I was about to leave, you suddenly started to cry.

You looked me in the eye with your big eyes and dropped big tears.

At that moment, my heart sank and I couldn't leave.

I went there 2 more months and brought you home.

That little kid grew up like this.

You raised me like that and I only caused you pain...

Nonsense. I've lived because of you.

When I lost my baby and couldn't have kids, you sustained me.

I still insisted on meeting Kyung-Woo even after I heard that.

You must've felt betrayed then.

So you know?

I'm sorry. It kept bothering me.

It's ok. I think you got sick because I tore you two apart.

Nonsense. That's not true.

You should get better no matter what.

However painful it is, you should persevere for me.

Ok, mom.

Mom. I love being your daughter.

I want to be your daughter when I'm born again.

Of course. I'll give birth to you then.

You stay seated.

Yeah, sit. Being a caretaker is a hard job.

The transplant is the day after tomorrow.

Yeah. Thank god.

We still have time, but we have to clean her room before she comes home.

She needs her own room because of the infection risk.

What about us?

Stay with Hwang till she recovers.

4 of us in one room?

We'll take Hyo-Eun.

As if it's gonna help.

Of course we should. Don't worry. I'll clean it.

- Eat. - Ok. Let's eat.

Yeah, let's eat.

Hello?

What do you mean? She changed her mind?

Bro. What happened?

The donor didn't come for the accelerant.

She just told the coordinator that she wouldn't do it.

What? It's as good as killing her.

Her husband opposes strongly. The coordinator is trying to persuade her.

This causes a serious complication. Let's wait and see.

Can't we plead?

We'll try. Please give her number.

Sir. I know it's against protocol but...

Wait a little. You going and pushing her can backfire.

I shouldn't be like this.

Call again.

Yeah, try it.

Ok.

This is Ki. Have you heard from the coordinator?

Ok.

No.

Father. I'll call my colleagues to get ready to air it soon.

Yeah.

What happened to her daughter in the US?

She was also a hepatitis carrier.

What's wrong with you? You want me to abandon her twice?

You saw her documentary. How pretty was she?

How can you do that to your niece?

Why didn't you refuse it from the beginning? She even finished chemo.

Do you want her dead?

Was that what you had in mind?

Ok. I will.

I said I would. I'll open you a shop.

I'll go early tomorrow.

Hello? Is this the hospital?

Shouldn't we do something? Shouldn't we beg even if it might backfire?

The coordinator called. She agreed to the transplant.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Honey.

Mom... father...

You should hold on. You should live no matter what.

If you die after all this, I won't forgive you.

Did something happen?

No. Nothing.

Hello?

It's me.

How did her transplant go?

Tomorrow? That's good.

I should've gone, but I'm so busy lately.

Taking the blood test was enough.

I have so much to do. Bye.

Ok. Bye.

You're awake.

I waited for you.

Because we couldn't talk during the day. I wanted to see you before I slept.

I'm glad to hear that. I was worried too you might be asleep.

Thank you. I couldn't have made it without you and mom.

I'm so sorry. I'm always indebted to you.

Don't worry. You'll repay me later.

How?

First of all, I don't eat instant food.

I'm not particular, but I only eat tasty food.

And I have to eat breakfast no matter what. Only Korean food.

I have to have new sheet every other day. I can't stand it after 3 days.

Also, don't expect me to share the household chores.

I never have and I won't.

Then who's gonna do it?

Me? Why would I?

Then who else?

You're so old-fashioned.

I don't care. I live as I please.

Ok. I'll think about it.

I'm relieved to see you smile. You're not scared.

- I am scared. - You don't look like it.

I love you.

I love you.

I'll fight with all my might.

The new blood in my body will be filled with red and white blood cells...

...and my love for you.

- Coach, don't skip meals. I miss you. - I miss her, too.

Coach, you should buy us steak. Get well soon.

- Couch, get well soon. - Coach, you should run with us.

Coach, cheer up!

- We love you, coach! - We miss you, coach!

The transplant was successful and the prognosis is excellent.

She can go home tomorrow.

Thank you, doctor.

Thank you.

Stay here. I'll check for the car. Go out after it arrives.

- Sis. The car is here. - Let's go.

Ki. Come eat.

Hurry.

Ki! Ki!

Can't you hurry?

Why are you pouting?

Me? I'm not.

You are!

Yes, you are. What's wrong?

I thought your department was easier.

- I have nothing exciting. - Why not?

He's whining. Let him.

- Why? - Eat.

He hates his job. Do you think my job is exciting?

We all just do whatever we're supposed to do.

Sis. Did I say I hate my job?

Why are you so presumptuous?

Ok. Sorry if I was wrong.

But the die is cast. No one forced you back to the hospital. It was your decision.

What the hell did I say?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, grandpa.

Alright. Eat.

Ok.

'Audition for new actors'

Are you off today?

Yes.

Wanna go to the bathhouse?

No. I'm gonna sleep. I gotta go to work later.

Ok. Take a rest.

Keep your end of the deal.

You promised you'd meet other girls if I wait till the transplant.

It's your turn to keep your word.

I never promised that.

Come on. I think you forgot.

Mom. I'd never have said that.

Don't put words in my mouth.

Let's talk about it later. I have something to tell you.

What?

I have to change. Please go.

Mom. Tae-Il went out. He's so busy lately.

- Have this. - Thanks.

Why are you sighing?

My heart is broken when I think of him.

They say the wrong man can ruin women, but the wrong woman can ruin men too.

See what happened to him because he met the wrong woman.

What happened? Did something happen again?

This is what happened. His ex-wife is 7 months pregnant.

Take the baby after birth.

It's still a problem.

If he marries Yoon-Soo, she won't want to raise the baby.

Why don't we have his brother adopt him? He's childless.

But I don't know if Tae-Il would agree.

And Hwang won't give up so easily.

What worries me the most is...

...that she might manipulate him after the baby is born.

Wait. I left the stew on the stove.

Honey, Tae-Young. Come and eat.

Looks good.

Still, you shouldn't rush his marriage.

We have to be careful since this is his second.

I know.

You. I'll find someone for you.

What? What do you mean?

You're jobless. You can't and won't get a job.

So meet a guy and get married.

What?

She wants me to get married instead of getting a job.

Good idea.

There's someone studying at MIT...

Mom. I have no intention to marry. I'm working hard to get a job.

You're strange. How come you don't even ask about him?

Is it because of the guy I saw at the gate? Are you dating? Who is he?

Who?

I saw her at the gate with...

Mom!

With who?

No one, father.

Sir. Take me to my father's office.

Do you know his number?

Hyo-Eun!

Dad!

- How much is it? - $8.50.

- Keep the change. - Thanks.

Thank you.

Hyo-Eun. How could you come alone?

Didn't I tell you when you left home alone before? Do you remember?

I do.

Then why did you do that again? Did you tell mom?

No. She wouldn't have let me.

I wanted to tell you that I'm going to elementary school.

I started school, dad.

I'm very busy today, so I'll call you later.

Promise not to tell mom.

Ok. But you shouldn't sneak out again, ok?

- Ok. Bye, dad. - Bye.

This is for Hyo-Eun. A bag and shoes.

I don't know if you like it, but I hope she will.

Thank you, but no.

You don't want to be her dad. I don't appreciate these acts of kindness.

This is for her, not you.

Inconsistent affection will only hurt her.

Thanks, but no.

I was preoccupied because of Geum and my job, but I have to pull myself together.

You can't settle things, so I will.

Let's not meet like this anymore. Don't call me unless it's urgent.

I haven't called you that often.

But I think you're double timing.

You're too harsh.

I'm sorry. If that's not true.

So you move on with your life. I will with my kids.

Make sure Yoon-Soo doesn't come to me again.

She did?

She did to announce that she's seriously dating you. So I shouldn't meet you.

I never imagined I'd hear that from my ex husband's girlfriend.

Life is so unpredictable. It's always more than I imagined.

Please keep in mind not to call me again.

I'll leave.

Come in.

- How? - Mom let me in.

It's bigger than I thought.

Sit. I thought you were busy.

- Which one is Soo-Kyung's? - That one.

Sit here.

Come closer.

They're downstairs.

I just said come closer.

You're so obedient.

When shall we do it?

Do what?

Why so nervous? What were you thinking?

Do what?

What do you think?

Let's go downstairs and ask them.

About the wedding.

Let's marry.

You don't want to?

Answer me in 3 seconds.

1... 2...

Let's!

You were really desperate, huh?

Your mom might be against it, so follow my lead.

A wedding?

Yes.

She wanted to live with me as soon as she got better, and I promised to fulfill it.

I'd like to as soon as possible. Like early next month.

Please give us consent. I'll make her happy.

What do you think?

I can't find a reason to oppose.

I'm for it. You?

I'm not against it.

Thank you. Thank you.

What about your mother? She was strongly against it.

I see she is still. You have to get her consent, too.

Yes.

If you get her consent, I'll let you.

Thank you. Thank you, Father.

What?

A wedding. I'm marrying her.

Didn't you say you'd only meet her till the transplant? You still meeting her?

Yes. You knew that.

No, I didn't.

Yes you did.

I still oppose. It's impossible.

I will without your consent. I told her parents and both said ok.

Both? Mi-Ja said yes too?

Yes. Father and mother both.

Stop calling her mother.

I'll marry her next month if I can find a place.

I want to live here for a year if it's ok, but if not, so be it.

- What are you doing? - I don't want to waste time.

I realized when she was sick.

That we might not have enough time to love.

That we shouldn't wait to do things we want to do.

You have to accept this.

We experienced life and death together.

Whatever you say, we won't sway. I hope you accept it soon.

Like I said, I won't waste my time getting your consent.

What do you mean? You're announcing your decision?

Yes.

I'll make myself clear. She isn't fully recovered.

If you go see her behind my back and humiliate her again...

...I'll sever ties with you.

You bastard...

Go ahead! I don't need a son like you either!

Wedding? As if!

Honey. I should take the initiative to make amends with her.

I mean Kyung-Woo's mother.

We gave our consent and Geum will have to live with her.

Don't if you don't want to.

I was a bit surprised to see you consent so easily.

How can I oppose at this point?

You did well. But are you gonna be ok?

What else can I do? They are inseparable.

I guess this is meant to be. I have to submit to her.

This is my life. Always the victim.

You don't need to be so defeatist. Don't go.

You'll get sick if you force yourself.

I mean it. Don't if you don't want to.

We'll start an open audition.

Attach your number to your chest. Come in and wait when you are called.

Good luck.

Number 1, 2, 3, get ready.

- Finish it. - Ok.

Bye.

What is this?

I don't know.

Evacuate the building! There's a fire on 9th floor!

Hwang!

What are you doing? You didn't hear the fire alarm? There's a fire on this floor.

Get up!

Chief, there's a fire on this floor.

Tae-Il. Don't you know?

They announced that it was a false alarm.

It stopped.

I guess you didn't hear it.

I see. I'm sorry to interrupt.

I really thought there was a fire. I'm sorry. Go ahead.

He was worrying about you.

Let's continue.

Excuse me.

An audition?

Yeah.

I just went for one last time.

I dropped it because of Geum. That bothered me.

I thought you were content with your work.

I just tried it.

To confirm my limits and persuade myself to give up.

But dancing after a while felt good. I was excited for once.

I feel bad.

It'll be fine after 6 months.

Cells in our body are completely renewed every 6 months.

Then the fun memories of dancing and singing might disappear, too.

Ki.

Mom is trying to set me up a blind date.

To marry. He's going to MIT.

So you're gonna meet him?

I don't want to, but mom insists.

Then go ahead. It can't hurt.

Thank you for understanding.

It's me.

I'll go there, so let's meet.

I told you we shouldn't meet...

I have something to tell you.

I'm leaving now. I'll call you when I get there.

What's the matter?

What is it?

Let's start again.

Let's start again.

I think I still love you. I realized that today.
