(Final Episode)

Were you really going to...

destroy Yeh Suh and me?

Ms. Han.

Will you not regret this?

I asked if you're sure you won't regret this, Ms. Han.

I might end up...

regretting my decision.

But one thing I know for certain...

is the fact that I'd end up regretting even more...

if I didn't stop here and made sure Yeh Suh got into SNU's Med School.

Even before I got involved,

you and Yeh Suh were already on your path of destruction.

Even if Yeh Suh got in,

she wouldn't have been able to handle her guilt.

I don't know...

what drove you to ruin all your students' families,

but did you really have to kill Hye Na?

I mean, you're a mom yourself.

Moreover, a mother with a heartbreaking daughter.

Do you think you had nothing to do with Hye Na's death?

- What? - What Hye Na said...

when she came to see me.

You remember that, right?

Please make sure Yeh Suh can't get into SNU's Med School.

I'll get accepted on my own without any help,

so just make sure she doesn't get in.

If she didn't make a request that I absolutely can't accept,

why would I have killed that poor girl?

Have you wondered why Hye Na...

made such a proposition?

She probably thought her dad...

would accept her if she got into SNU's Med School.

That is true,

but the biggest reason...

was her anger toward you.

You heard...

why she was hoping Yeh Suh wouldn't get accepted.

I want to get into SNU's Med School without a coach's help...

so that I can show everyone that I'm better than Yeh Suh...

and that my mom...

is a much better mom than her mom.

You made Hye Na an outcast...

and stomped all over her self-esteem.

She was just a lonely girl who wanted to be loved.

Didn't you thrust an awl through her heart?

What do you think Yeh Suh's dad will do...

if he finds out that you're his daughter?

He believes that the only flaw in his life...

is not doing his residency in SNU...

and becoming a professor at Joonam University instead.

A child out of wedlock?

He'll neither accept nor approve of you.

To that egotistical man, you'll be nothing...

but a flaw that he cannot tolerate.

She was just a young girl who wanted to be loved by her father.

Didn't you treat her like a thief who was out to destroy your family?

Had the truth come out sooner,

it would've obviously distracted Yeh Suh from studying.

Should I have said, "Welcome. She's your dad's daughter",

- and applaud? - You only cared...

about Yeh Suh getting into SNU.

You couldn't even see anything else.

Have you ever wondered how much Hye Na was crying...

in that basement room?

Her anger and resentment piled up so high...

that she had to come to me and propose such a deal.

Your extremely selfish maternal love for Yeh Suh...

made Hye Na come to me.

Hence,

both you and I...

killed Hye Na.

That's absolutely not true.

I hated her to death, but I never wanted to kill her.

However, you killed Hye Na as well as Myung Joo.

You destroyed Young Jae's family and tried to ruin mine as well.

I'm different from an evil monster like you.

Did you go to the police station...

to save Woo Joo because you pitied him?

Would you still have changed your mind...

if Yeh Suh hadn't been falling apart mentally?

Right, I went to the police station for my daughter, not for Woo Joo.

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with putting my child first?

Mothers do anything and everything for their children.

Is that why...

you decided to join hands with me when I told you...

that Woo Joo would end up taking the fall?

Because the life of someone else's son...

is worth less than a day in your daughter's life?

You're just like the moms who were excited...

when my prodigy daughter, Kay, ended up like that.

Those women who can't stand other kids...

outdoing their children and want only their kids...

to succeed. You're just like them.

When I asked you...

if you'd be able to put up with the tragedy...

that Young Jae's family went through, you said yes.

Why?

Because of your arrogant confidence that it'd never happen to you.

Why?

Because you were blinded by your greed to make your kid number one.

Why? The tragedy Young Jae's family experienced...

was nothing more than just a sad story to you.

Did you say...

that you and I are different?

You're wrong.

You and I...

are exactly the same.

Yes.

I should see if you're right.

Let's go and find out.

I guess you don't want to walk out of here in one piece.

Dad.

Mom. Mom.

Hye Na is being weird.

She can't seem to wake up, and she keeps saying weird things.

She has a fever too.

Really?

You just told me she has a fever. What if you catch her cold?

Stay here.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

My sweetheart, are you sick?

I'm here. It's me, your mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Get up. Let's go to the hospital.

Mom.

You and I...

are exactly the same.

Why would you resign?

You're just about to reach the top of the pyramid.

You're bound to become the next hospital president.

So why would you resign?

I also thought I had to become the hospital president.

I thought that would bring me the utmost happiness.

But after going through all this,

I realized that it all means nothing.

I understand how you must feel, Professor Kang.

But you should reconsider about resigning.

He's right. Professor Kang, what do you think about...

applying for a sabbatical instead of resigning?

If you take a good year's rest...

How do you expect me to go into the OR...

that I pushed my daughter out of?

Your daughter? What daughter?

What?

There are so many times when I just want to kill myself.

If I think about how miserable...

the mother and daughter must've been because of me...

The mother and daughter?

Did your wife not tell you anything?

I can't believe she just left without telling me anything.

I can't seem to join the conversation here.

My heart also aches every time I think about Hye Na.

So I can only imagine how much worse it must be for you.

Hye Na was his daughter?

But what can you do?

You should think about the other family members.

Yes, of course.

That's why I'm going to try my best...

to be a good dad, a good husband,

and a good son.

So that I won't end up regretting anything in the future.

That's great.

After this incident, I realized that being able to...

eat together with my wife and Woo Joo...

is enough to make me happy.

Yes, of course.

To be honest, there are numerous times...

when I want to get rid of my nagging wife...

and my son who can never seem to get good grades.

But happiness eventually comes from being able to live with your family.

Let's all drink.

That doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to my colleague.

His wife apparently left the house along with the kids...

without even saying anything to him.

Professor Cha's wife just left the house along with all her stuff.

No, she didn't move.

She just left home along with all her kids.

In other words, she left Professor Cha.

On top of that, his son even said to him...

that he likes it better now that he's not living with him.

He apparently said he's happy now.

What do you think about his wife and kids?

If his son said that to him, I'm definitely sure...

that darn colleague of yours is the one to blame.

What's the use of being a good professor at school?

I mean, how hard must he have been on his kids...

for his wife...

to actually leave the house?

From what I know, he wasn't that hard on the kids.

The only reason I was able to live like a decent human being...

after I suddenly lost my parents due to a car accident...

was all thanks to Eden Orphanage.

To others, it may have been nothing more than an ordinary orphanage.

But to me, it was a very comfortable, safe,

and warm place.

Don't you think that's the kind of place a home should be to a child?

Let's stop...

wasting our lives in vain, Professor Cha.

Here.

Fine, then. Don't come back.

When was I so hard on them? I don't care if they don't come.

Even if I'm lonely and sad, I'm not going to cry

I'm just going to hold it in Why would I cry?

Let's smile and run

on that green field

As we look...

at the blue sky,

let's sing

What?

You want to drop out of school?

Woo Joo, you'll be graduating in a few months.

Mom. Dad.

To be honest,

I thought everything would work out if I studied hard.

I thought getting good grades was the most important thing in life.

But after I unexpectedly ended up going to jail,

After Hye Na died just like that...

Grades and university?

I realized that those mean nothing.

When I was in the cell,

I was hit with the realization of just how precious...

the time I was given for free is.

The today I get just by waking up...

is a valuable day Hye Na will never get to live.

I can't waste my precious time solving workbook problems...

not knowing how to live my life.

Woo Joo.

If it's too much, you needn't go to university this year.

But you should finish up and graduate from high school...

Dad.

Did you ever imagine I'd be charged with murder?

What good is a high school degree in that situation?

Who I am and how I should live my life from now on.

I need time to learn about myself.

Then Woo Joo.

How about taking a break from school?

Take a year or so to figure yourself out.

While growing up in an orphanage,

I learned for myself...

how cruel the world treats the powerless.

That's why I think that even if it's a bit hard for you right now,

you should bear it.

Graduate from high school and...

- go to university. - Power, Dad.

It doesn't come from where I graduated from.

Who I am, what kind of person I am,

and what I stand for. When all that is established,

isn't that where power comes from?

Honey.

You gave in?

Why did you start a fight you can't win?

Make me honeyed water.

Where are the kids?

Did you drunk-text me?

Text?

What text?

Goodbye.

Stop, stop, stop.

What on earth did I send?

Seung Hye. Without you,

I feel like a birch tree standing alone...

in a Siberian snowfield.

I'm foolish and it's all my fault.

Beautiful Seung Hye, hurry back to me...

and fill my heart with your warmth.

Postscript. I accept your terms.

You mean I sent this?

Something this corny?

Seung Hye. Without you,

I feel like a birch tree standing alone...

in a Siberian snowfield.

Fill my heart...

with your warmth.

Postscript.

I accept...

all...

your terms.

How impressive.

I was drunk out of my mind and I spelled every word perfectly.

Haven't you ever heard of "drunken truth"?

I guess it's a fact that...

I sent that text.

Then you will not interfere with the kids' studies, right?

You will not force Se Ri to go to university...

and let her live her own life, right?

You will throw the pyramid away...

and never again...

mention the stupid thing around the kids, right?

What? "The stupid thing"?

Yes. The stupid thing.

They're high school seniors. What am I to do then?

You can play with me.

While being a real dad...

who trusts his kids and waits for them.

What are you saying? Was I not a real dad until now?

You met...

the boys, didn't you?

Suh Joon said that...

he was happy without you.

That broke my heart so much that I couldn't sleep.

You didn't mean to hassle the kids.

You just wanted them to do well.

But it got to the point where they're happier without you.

What if you end up being so lonely and alone?

Do you know how sad that makes me feel?

Do you like being away from me?

Are you happy?

How could I be?

I was worried sick of...

how much you'd be suffering on your own.

Where on earth were you with the kids?

My hideout.

Your hideout?

I will leave again with the kids.

Stick to my conditions, okay?

But...

I can't throw that away on my own.

It's awfully heavy.

I must say, I'm so impressed by you.

Yeh Suh would've gotten into SNU's Med School...

if she made it through the first semester,

so I thought you'd just keep your lips sealed.

I never thought Yeh Suh would end up...

getting zero marks and drop out of school.

I've known Yeh Suh since she was four, you know.

I know how you and Yeh Suh lived...

in the past 15 years.

Now that I've let it go,

I wonder why I lived like that.

Had I been in your situation,

I certainly wouldn't have been able to give up.

I have huge respect for both you and Yeh Suh.

You would've gotten Woo Joo out a lot sooner than I did.

- You think so? - Yes.

You're honest,

and you're highly empathic toward others' pain.

I know you'd put Soo Han first, but you still wouldn't have been...

able to let Woo Joo suffer in there.

Putting myself in others' shoes.

That's what I'm most terrible at, you know.

What's gotten into you? What's up with this touching remark?

Suh Jin.

Gosh.

I'm so sad.

Thinking that you'll be leaving Sky Castle soon,

this place already feels so empty.

I'm really sad.

I'll visit you often.

Promise me, then.

Let's seal it.

Rethink your decision.

I don't want you to regret this later on.

I've come to this decision after long, careful consideration.

If you quit now,

- I'll end up... - I'm sorry.

I mean...

Take care of your health.

Well, wait. Professor Kang.

Wait, Professor Kang.

Professor Kang.

Hey, Professor Kang!

(Planning Director Kang Joon Sang)

Hey, come on in.

Professor Woo, you know that you'll be in charge of...

the Department of Orthopedics, right?

Thanks...

for putting up with me...

all these years.

Chief.

Don't be scared. Try to be more confident, okay?

Knowing you couldn't fall asleep because of the patient...

suffering from aftereffects, I am certain...

that you'll become a great doctor.

Thank you, chief.

No problem.

And you.

When you're holding a hammer,

everything looks like a nail. Don't ever forget that.

Always be careful and thorough.

Yes, sir.

Dong Min, to doctors who must wear surgical gowns,

their skills matter more than fashion.

- Do you understand? - Yes, sir.

I'll always keep it in mind.

Great, keep up the good work.

Gosh, I know you're a busy man. You didn't have to come.

You're leaving. I have to at least say goodbye.

Thank you.

Please stay to the end.

Regardless of where you go,

I hope you can be happy.

Thank you.

Don't fight. I hope you guys all get along.

Yes, we will. Take care of your health, Professor.

All right.

Keep up the great work.

I will. Thank you for everything.

So what's Joon Sang planning to do now?

He said he'll take a few months off and think about it.

He can't be thinking of quitting the profession altogether, right?

I heard that my friend's son shut down...

his successful clinic a while ago...

and opened a dumpling place.

A dumpling place?

He was always...

immensely interested in cooking,

but she forced him to go to medical school, and he finally...

I see.

He's divorced,

so she even has to look after her grandkids.

One day, she went to buy dumpling ingredients with her son...

and ended up bawling,

sitting on the floor at the market.

Don't worry, Mother.

I know that Joon Sang will never want to open up a dumpling place.

Don't worry about him and try to relax.

I'll take care of everything.

How's Yeh Suh doing?

She's stronger than me.

She's totally fine, and seeing that gives me strength.

That's a relief.

Mom, I totally cleaned and organized my room.

I threw out all the expected questions from Coach Kim,

and I made a new study plan as well. Have a look.

- Really? - Yes.

Yeh Suh.

Don't be anxious.

Have you forgotten what your dad said?

He said you shouldn't rush.

He advised you to take your time.

Right, he did.

Okay, Mom.

How could you study without a single day off?

Make a new plan. Make sure it's not so packed.

Mom.

Starting tomorrow, I'll work on finding a good academy...

as well as a tutor for you.

No. It's okay, Mom.

Word has spread in the entire area, so I'll be too embarrassed.

I think I should... Is it called self-directed learning?

Yes, I want to give it a shot.

Since I have a lot of time on my hands now,

I should try changing my studying method.

You'll study on your own?

Mom, you told me not to be anxious.

Okay. You should try studying on your own.

You know you can tell me right away if you find it hard, right?

Of course.

By the way, I got a text from Suh Joon.

Woo Joo is dropping out too.

Woo Joo?

(Hang in there. We believe in you. Cheer up, Woo Joo!)

(I'm sorry, Woo Joo. I wish you happiness.)

I'm sorry, Woo Joo.

I'm so, so sorry.

I wish you happiness.

(Hwang Woo Joo)

(I'm sorry, Woo Joo. I'm so, so sorry.)

(I wish you happiness.)

("Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage")

My gosh, what a lousy question.

Everyone, let's look at question number 31.

This is...

a question about Newton's law.

Let's take a look at the examples.

- "The element..." - You guys, Woo Joo's leaving.

Gosh.

Hey, go back to your seats.

What's the fuss about? Go back to your seats.

Sit back down, you punks. My goodness, what a mess.

Go back to your seats.

You guys really need to get to your senses.

What's the matter? Are you guys jealous of Woo Joo?

He'll end up regretting his choice in just one month.

No, actually, he'll regret in only a week.

The fact that you're students is more important...

than the fact that you're human.

You're high school seniors!

You should be studying for college, not dropping out of school.

Self-exploration, my foot.

What did I say will happen if you don't get into the top three?

- We won't be treated as humans. - We won't be treated as humans.

Say it louder!

- We won't be treated as humans! - We won't be treated as humans!

Sir.

Should you really be saying that as a teacher?

Does that mean people who don't...

get into the top three universities aren't humans?

You little punk.

Yes, that's right. I can already see...

who's going to turn out successful,

and who's going to end up living like trash.

That... That little punk.

Ki Joon, come outside.

I said, come outside!

Hey, Suh Joon.

What?

Ki Joon, where are you going?

Where are you going?

Hey, what are you guys doing? Why are you leaving?

Come back inside! Hey!

You punks.

Hey! Get back in here!

Are you really going to do this?

If you really leave, I'm going to give all of you...

zero marks for your performance assessment.

You won't be able to get into the top three universities!

You little punks.

Hello.

Hello.

Get back here!

Where do you think you're going?

Hello.

Hey! Get back here!

Woo Joo!

- Woo Joo! - Woo Joo!

Hey, be careful.

- Woo Joo! - Hey!

- Hey! - Hey, come here.

- Come on. - Hey, Woo Joo.

What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class?

We escaped the fiery pit!

Are you guys skipping class?

Hey, you're dropping out of school.

We're just skipping class for today. What's going to happen?

Gosh, the sunlight is amazing, and the sky is so blue.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Ki Joon, you're being so touchy.

- Let's go. - This is so nice.

Goodness, look at you.

(Shina High School)

What You skipped class?

Did you just say you skipped class?

You skipped class when you're high school seniors?

Honey.

Did you forget about our hideout?

I guess it won't hurt to skip class once in a while.

Do you guys want to throw out the pyramid with your dad?

The pyramid?

Honey, if we want to throw that out, we need to get a sticker.

What's the rush? I'll buy one when I have time...

I already stuck it on the pyramid.

(Large item pick-up sticker)

Why did you stick it on the top?

You should stick it on the bottom.

It's more visible here.

If they don't see the sticker, they won't take it.

But still, how could you stick this at the very top of the pyramid?

It won't come off.

You guys.

Okay. Move over, Dad.

- Be careful. - Move over, Dad.

There we go. Watch out.

Thank you.

Here you go, my son.

- Does your son come first? - No. Here.

It's so savory.

Soo Han, doesn't it taste better when your dad cracks it for you?

Yes, it's really delicious.

- Does it taste savory? - Yes.

This is what you call happiness. It's nothing extraordinary.

That's exactly my point.

What's the point of becoming the director...

of the Planning and Coordination Office...

when you'll just end up resigning?

What's the point of making their child become the top student...

when they'll just end up dropping out of school?

Soo Han, you don't need to go to special-purpose high school.

You can quit taking preliminary classes.

Really? Dad, do you really mean that?

Can I really quit the academy?

- Trust your dad. - Why won't you go?

- Honey, are you crazy? - Come on.

How can you say that even after seeing what happened to Yeh Suh?

I mean, if I think about Yeh Suh, I do realize...

that I shouldn't be too obsessed with private education.

But to be honest, I'm still quite confused.

As long as I can get...

Soo Han into med school,

I feel like I could even dance naked...

at Gwanghwamun Plaza.

Goodness, honey.

If you dance naked at Gwanghwamun Plaza,

you'll get arrested.

Soo Han, things are going to get intense...

once you get into high school. What are you going to do?

I trusted Suh Jin until now and followed her tracks,

but she ended up going off-course.

Stop trying to follow other people...

and just focus on doing what you do best.

What I do best?

You're good at lying down for just one minute.

From now on,

don't just lie down for 1 minute. Lie down for 10 or 100 minutes.

Well, I am really good at lying down.

But then again, someone told me...

that children who grow up being loved by their parents...

are able to endure the severe stress...

that comes from all the studying.

We can't change this darn education system...

of Korea.

So the least we can do as parents...

is to help our son...

endure the brutal system by loving him...

- as much as we can. - Goodness, you're so smart.

You're right. Let's give him a lot of love.

Son, come and hug your fancy and elegant mom.

My dear boy.

The best thing I did in my life...

was to have you, my son.

Okay.

Thanks for coming to me.

I love you, Mom.

- It's awesome. - What?

Me next.

Okay, my older son too.

This is the life.

I liked that.

- Get rid of the pyramid. - Pyra, pyra, pyra.

Pyra, pyra. Sharp.

How is Yeh Suh?

She's strong on the outside,

but inside she's anxious.

She would be.

Not being part of any group at her age.

She would feel so uneasy.

Oh, dear.

I'm anxious myself.

Will she manage until next year's university entrance exam?

Is this really the best option?

I can barely sleep at night.

We fight our own fights...

to become good parents.

Don't worry too much. We're doing this so that...

Yeh Suh doesn't end up living an empty life like I did.

Each time I waver,

I need you to tell me that hundreds of times.

My gosh. Don't you worry.

I'll say it a million times.

Honey.

Tomorrow, shall we take Yeh Suh and Yeh Bin...

to see Hye Na?

[VIU Ver] jTBC E20 SKY Castle "Goodbye, Sky Castle" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

If I'd treated Hye Na a little better...

I'm sorry.

If I'd been...

a better husband,

you'd have discussed it with me in the first place.

I'm the one...

who pushed you...

that far.

I'm sorry.

Hye Na.

It's us.

Did you resent me a lot?

I'm really...

sorry.

Hye Na.

I came seventh in my class.

I did well, right?

Like we promised,

I study real hard now.

(Kim Hye Na)

Hey.

I quit school and am preparing to take the GED.

Are you pleased?

I bet you are.

You're smiling.

(Kim Hye Na)

Hye Na.

Kang Hye Na.

I'm sorry for hating you.

(Kim Hye Na)

Dad.

It's me, Mi Hyang.

Who? Mi Hyang?

The wench who left with her mom...

and changed her name?

You're just the same.

How are you?

Why? Am I a waste of money?

You don't want to support me,

so you want me dead.

Is it Mi Hyang? I'll talk to her.

- Hey, is that you, Mi Hyang? - Yes.

How are you?

It's okay, Dad's always been like that.

How's So Min? Studying hard at the University of Sydney?

She graduated from a great high school.

She's so smart, like me.

Bring Dad to visit one day.

Nothing's wrong. Joon Sang just grew up.

It's okay.

I told the kids the truth.

I'm sorry.

I was too harsh, wasn't I?

Hey, how are you?

Yes, I'm fine.

It's hard on you.

We're all...

It's what I saved up since I came back to Korea.

It's nowhere nearly enough,

but I want to pay off the 62,000-dollar fine myself.

You...

saved up this much money?

Se Ri.

Working for a living made me see...

how easy it was to study and spend what you sent me.

It really hit home.

And I felt sorry for what I did.

So I'm going to work harder.

Mom, you know Ji Min, Jeong Ah, and Yoon Seo, right?

Of course, I do.

Ji Min's your friend from elementary school.

You met Jeong Ah and Yoon Seo in NMH.

The four of us promised to work hard with the goal of...

opening our own club in three years' time.

When we do, Dad, will you check it out?

I should start taking some dance lessons.

You're a pretty good waltzer.

My goodness.

I must learn newer dance moves.

Shall I teach you, Dad?

There was a dance academy above your grandpa's dry-cleaner's.

A diner owner's pet dog can cook after three years.

I have a great sense of rhythm.

Perfect.

Now, look.

- Ready? - Yes.

In 5, 6, 7, 8.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Now spin.

Again, 5, 6, 7, 8.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

And then...

ta-da.

Kim Joo Young!

What have you done to us? Look what you did to us!

You said nothing would happen. You said we'd go free!

Keep quiet and sit down!

Hey, Young Jae.

Ms. Lee.

It's been a while. Has everything been well with you?

Yes, I've been well. How have you been?

Good.

- Are you here to see my dad? - Yes.

(Jeongseon Medical Center)

My book is out.

("Goodbye, Sky Castle")

I thought I should give you the first copy.

- This one is yours, Young Jae. - Thank you.

("Goodbye, Sky Castle")

(To Professor Park Soo Chang.)

(Thank you. This book could come into the world thanks to you.)

(Thank you, Young Jae.)

(I wouldn't have been able to write this book if it weren't for you.)

If it weren't for the two of you,

I would've definitely given up.

Thank you so much.

Thanks, Young Jae.

You worked so hard for this.

Every time you called me, saying you were stuck,

I was able to reflect on myself...

as I was telling you my story, which also gave me solace.

I should be the one thanking you.

Same here.

When you called me because of Yeh Suh,

I thought hard and realized...

that I, too, got stolen exam papers from Kim Joo Young.

Back then, I just thought that those questions were perfectly accurate.

There were moments...

when I regretted not going to SNU as I did get in,

but looking back, I know that I did the right thing by not going.

I didn't achieve it on my own, you know.

("Goodbye, Sky Castle")

Young Jae wants to go back to school.

Really?

I want to go to college and study counseling psychology.

For the youth.

I'd like to help students who are stressed out like I was.

That's great.

I know that you'll do an amazing job.

Thank you.

("Goodbye, Sky Castle")

- Gosh. - My gosh.

I was so nervous when I first met you at the mountain cabin.

I was quite intimidating, wasn't I?

Isn't the food here good?

- Eat as much as you'd like. - Okay.

This is the best restaurant in this area.

All right.

Here.

Eat up, Young Jae.

Eat up, Son.

My son, it must be so stressful for you.

You're almost there though.

Hang in there, okay?

Honey, do you remember?

When Young Jae was still in the crawling stage,

he put his foot in your soup after stepping on his poop,

but you still finished the entire bowl.

Come on.

That was my son's foot. Why should I be grossed out?

You used to catch a cold and run a fever so often.

I even had to run in the snow to the hospital with you in my arms.

Thanks so much for growing into such a healthy, smart boy.

Hey.

Hey, do we really have to do that though?

It'd be good. It'd be helpful for us, you know.

Gosh, you know what she's like.

She won't want to help us. Do you think it'll work out?

Yeh Suh might say no anyway.

I'll ask her.

Mom.

I just got a text from Suh Joon.

He wants to study with me every weekend.

Suh Joon?

The three of you, including Ki Joon?

- Yes. - That's great.

I think it's a good idea. What do you think?

Well...

I've never studied with anyone before,

but shall I give it a shot?

How about we study independently?

Since our paces are different,

we can just get together here every weekend...

and keep each other in check.

Sounds good. Then how about...

we also exchange our keynotes?

Hey, you're really willing to share your notes?

Yes, you'll be sharing yours too.

Don't you know "give-and-take"?

My gosh, are you really the Kang Yeh Suh we know?

I'm a good person.

Leave this study group if you're going to keep annoying me.

She told you to leave.

What? Am I an outcast? I'm an outcast now?

Did you guys come up with your study plans? Shall I help you?

- No, thank you. - No, it's okay.

Hi, Yeh Suh.

Honey, just let them do their thing.

Why? I should show my support since they're trying to study hard.

Don't be nosy. Just let them study on their own.

How could you call this "nosy"?

I'm trying to help like any father would do.

The hideout.

Yeh Suh, do you want to stay for dinner?

Se Ri wants to cook something nice because you're here.

Sure, I will.

I'm sorry we interrupted you guys.

Honey, I have a job for you.

- So what? Am I an outcast? - I told you to leave.

How long are you going to stay? You just can't take hints.

- Se Ri. - Yes.

Dad, I'm making mille-feuille nabe for dinner.

I'll put you in charge of perilla leaves.

Rinse them thoroughly, please.

Sure, I'm very good at thoroughly rinsing perilla leaves.

Oh, wait. You need to do it properly.

Ta-da! Here's an apron for you.

Here.

Put your arms through first.

When did you learn how to make mille-feuille nabe?

There's nothing I can't do, you know.

All right, hand me the cabbage too. I'll rinse it for you.

Oh, let's do it together, Dad.

There's a good song. Check it out.

Hang on, stay still. Okay.

- Isn't it nice? - Yes.

1, 2, 3, 4.

Stop it.

Dad, come on. You have to do it too.

Ready, start. 1, 2, 3, 4.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Now, the wave. 1, 2.

I haven't gotten the hang of it yet.

- You learned it earlier. - My gosh.

I should let Suh Jin know.

Yes, Seung Hye.

Really?

Yeh Suh loves mille-feuille nabe.

Thanks so much.

The kids should...

study at our place before we move.

I'd like to cook a nice dinner for them as well.

All right, thanks.

Yeh Suh will have dinner at Suh Joon's place.

Yeh Suh?

She's never eaten at someone else's place.

I think you can stop worrying about her now, ma'am.

I know, right?

You're not forgetting anything, right?

Of course.

Be well so that Dad and I won't worry about you.

Don't worry, Mom.

How can I not worry?

- Woo Joo! - Woo Joo!

My gosh.

- Woo Joo. - Why are you running?

We almost missed him.

Woo Joo.

Hello.

Here's some spending money for you.

- Gosh, it's okay. - What are you doing? It's okay.

I went out of my way to convert it to euros.

Why can't I do this as his mom's friend?

Thank you.

Woo Joo.

I'm really sorry.

Please let your guilt go.

I'm really okay now.

Thank you, Woo Joo. Be safe, okay?

I will.

Woo Joo, be safe.

Thanks.

I'll be rooting for you as well.

We got this.

- We should get going. - Okay.

I'll get going, then.

Thanks, Mi Hyang.

Professor Hwang is waiting. You should go.

- Thanks. - No problem.

Thank you, Yeh Suh.

Thank you for your concern and support.

Mom, let me go already. I'll miss my flight.

You have to message me every day, okay?

I will.

I'll message you twice a day, morning and night.

All right, Son.

You know that I'm rooting for you, right?

You know that I'm your biggest fan, right?

Honey, it's my turn now. I want to say my goodbye too.

All right, it's your turn.

Dad.

Son, I love you.

You know that, right?

Dad, I'll learn a lot. Don't worry about me.

All right, I believe in you.

Gosh, Dad. I can't breathe. I can't breathe now.

Suh Jin, isn't that area too far from the academies in Daechi-dong?

How will you pick Yeh Bin up?

I'll find a different academy for her.

Her grades aren't good enough for special-purpose high schools.

I don't want my greed to suffocate her.

Don't worry about Yeh Bin.

I think she's extremely bright.

That's right. She's confident.

Most importantly, she knows what she wants.

Most kids these days just go with what their parents want them to do,

so Yeh Bin is such a special gem.

Back in the day, I used to think...

that raising her was 10 times more difficult than raising her sister,

but now that my mindset has changed,

I can see that she has so many strengths.

Yes, exactly.

Now that I've changed the way I think,

I'm realizing that Soo Han has so many strengths.

He's a good eater. He eats a lot.

He's kind and has many friends. Also, he's so good at games.

He's good at everything but studying.

Studying is his mortal enemy.

Oh, right. What's happening with your book?

Is it selling well?

We only printed 2,000 copies of the first edition,

but even that hasn't sold out yet.

Hey, why are you laughing? Are you happy about that or what?

No.

I don't understand why we were so against you writing that book.

Thinking back now, it's really comical.

I know, right? We even collected signatures to petition.

We totally overreacted.

Don't you worry, Sue Lim.

"Your beginnings will seem humble,"

"so prosperous will your future be." There's that saying, you know.

That'd be great,

but the fact that I wrote a book for our kids makes me the happiest.

Right, is Woo Joo doing well?

Gosh, I got a message from him this morning.

He wrote,

"The greater your suffering, the greater your enlightenment."

Anyway, he's learning things he couldn't see stuck at his desk,

so I think he's becoming more mature by the day.

Now, I'm sure of this.

I don't know who told everyone...

about my dad selling animal by-products back in high school,

but I at least know that it wasn't you.

You're realizing that just now?

Thanks for acknowledging it.

I think we should clink our glasses now.

All right. Here's to Woo Joo's safe return...

and Suh Jin's family starting afresh or not.

- My gosh, what was that about? - Was that a joke?

Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Mom, Mom, Mom.

Shush, you have to keep it down.

Have a seat.

Great. Good girl.

Near the orphanage my mother used to run,

there's a reputable long-term care hospital.

Kay is doing great there, so don't worry about her.

You said I deserve to be punished.

You should also try living in misery you can never get out of.

I even cursed you in the past.

And...

I tried to destroy your son's life.

Why are you...

doing this?

What do you think?

Kay needs...

someone to look after her.

She even made a friend...

at the hospital.

Don't worry about Kay, and be strong.

You should get out of here soon so that you can live with Kay.

Mom.

Don't cry.

Mom...

Yes. It's me, Mom.

Mom, don't cry.

Mom...

Don't cry.

(Porridge and Bibimbap)

Thank you.

It's hot, so eat slowly.

You're eating so well.

Wait, I'll open the door for you.

All right, come on out.

Slowly. Be careful. Good job.

- Kay, you're back. - Ga Hee!

- Hello. - Hello.

Kay, I'll come back in 10 days.

Okay.

- Get back safely. - Please take good care of Kay.

- Bye. - Bye.

Ga Hee! Ga Hee.

Ga Eul, hurry back.

I made something delicious. Hurry up.

Ga Hee, let's go eat delicious food.

Yes, let's go eat.

She's Ga Eul, not Ga Hee.

Ga Hee.

It's cold. Let's go inside.

- I'm cold, Grandma. - Go on in.

All right, let's go.

Yes, let's go.

- Get in. - Get in the car.

(Goodbye, Sky Castle)

Can I help you?

My skin's been rough lately.

Make it smooth and taut.

(Woo Joo's mom)

What's the occasion?

Let me see.

Hello.

What? They moved in already?

Yeh Suh's family just moved out.

You should be more careful.

Why are there so many books?

Hello.

I'm Min Ja Young and I just moved into that house over there.

Oh, I see. Nice to meet you.

I came to say hello.

Can I come in?

What great timing. Everyone's here.

Come inside.

Soo Han eats and poops, as usual.

Come in.

We have a guest.

Hello.

I'm Min Ja Young, your new neighbor.

Hello.

Oh, thanks.

(Min Ja Young, M.D.)

If you're a doctor, are you...

the new Professor of Orthopedics at Joonam University Hospital?

No, that would be my husband.

I was a dentist,

but I quit a year ago to support the kids.

Working moms' kids...

almost never remain in the top of their class.

By the way,

have you ever heard of an academic coach?

My older kid just started middle school...

and I need to plan how to get him into university.

My gosh, you could get into real trouble.

You want to hire a coach for a 14-year-old?

Wait, isn't that what you all do?

I moved into Sky Castle because...

I heard it was the best place for kids.

My daughter has a high school diploma.

The younger twins are high school seniors.

They don't have a tutor.

They study with a friend.

My son's the same age as Seung Hye's twins.

He quit school and is traveling.

My son is in middle school.

He goes to his extra classes only when he wants to.

My goodness.

You people are...

natural treasures.

Natural treasures?

Cheers.

My gosh.

Get in.

I'm hungry.

- You're hungry? - Yes.

- Oh, dear. - Are you?

What do my princesses want to eat?

(Good for you, Woo Joo)

Pork ribs.

Pork ribs? No way.

I'm on a diet.

Let's eat pasta. Pasta, Dad.

No thanks. I want pork ribs.

Dad, pork ribs.

How dare you?

We ate what you wanted last time.

Not again.

Why do you two always fight each other?

I just can't get along with her.

Who eats pasta when on a diet?

- Pork ribs. - Let's eat pasta.

Mom, Dad, pork ribs.

Pork rib places don't sell pasta, do they?

- Mom, how about pasta? - How about pork ribs?

- Okay? - Let's have both.
