A lot was broken in me.
Thank you for surviving.
Why do you love me?
Because it is you.
You were engaged to another man,
and he died. Your parents died,
and you're two years older than In-ha.
I didn't want to refuse you for such reasons.
None of this was your making, and it must have been painful.
It's not right to hurt someone again
for such reasons.
But I didn't like that
your heart was wounded.
A wounded person...
doesn't know how to give and receive love,
or how to express thanks with a pure heart...
So I refused.
I said this to In-ha, and he sent me these.
Your designs.
He said, because you are naturally so warm,
he was confident he could bring you back.
Do you believe you can?
You don't answer quickly.
Good.
You aren't a person to speak casually.
So I will trust you.
Thank you.
With such a strong-willed husband
you'll have twice the joy and twice the trouble as others.
Remember that marriage is the biggest promise of your life,
and if you have difficulties, good times will also follow.
Hui-jae, have some breakfast.
What time did you go to bed?
Your eyes are red. I think you should sleep more.
I can't. This is for tomorrow's meeting.
What do you mean? You read it 5 times yesterday.
In-ha!
If you read with those eyes, you'll see only red print.
Sleep just two hours, okay?
Just two hours...
Not two hours and a minute, just two hours.
-All right... -Let's go!
Ahem...
The book to be read...
No, the man reading is SUH In-ha.
I'll start from page 45...
Barthes said mythology is a ... transmission... right?
transmission system, springing from a form of...
a semantic process,
which in the issue of Echo...
capturing... There are so many Chinese characters here...
Hui-jae, you really understand all this?
Wow, you must be a genius.
Are you okay?
Come fight!
What is it, In-ha?
Are you hurt?
Did you fall and hurt yourself?
I'm just thankful.
What do you mean?
It's the first time.
Since we married, it's the first time I heard you laugh.
Thank you.
It's very healthy.
When it starts to move, it'll drive you crazy kicking.
It's amazing, huh?
Are you that happy?
Hui-jae...
In movies, they say something impressive now.
What should I say?
Say congratulations.
- Congratulations - Jung-ran!
In-ha will be so happy.
You know that the normal regimen doesn't apply to you?
You need a check every week.
Don't work hard, sleep well and eat good food.
All right.
Don't just laugh,
it's a miracle you're pregnant.
You need to care for your body.
You're not having lunch?
I'll eat with In-ha.
The other mothers will be waiting for you.
Mothers?
Okay, I'll yield to In-ha, then.
- Go ahead. - Okay.
These are In-ha's baby clothes.
I thought I'd save them for when In-ha had a child.
After 3 years, I thought I couldn't give them.
Thank you.
You should be happy, for the baby's sake.
Don't think of others, only of your body,
only move as it is comfortable for you.
Look, I wore this once.
-Does it suit me? -Give it to me.
What a lucky baby! Your grandmother sent clothes.
Be healthy.
Hui-jae, are you okay?
Why do you keep vomiting?
All pregnant women do.
When I vomit, don't stand so close.
You don't want to ride in the car, right?
But what can I do?
We can't leave it here.
What are you doing? Tomorrow morning?
How do we get home? I can't walk that far.
I can. Let's go.
-Oh, great! -You're not cold?
Okay, good.
Here's the heart,
these are the hands, and the legs.
It's all there.
Of course. It feels things too.
It feels, but mothers aren't aware of it.
-I can feel it. -You can?
Sure, when I'm comfortable, my baby is, too.
If my baby is uncomfortable, I feel uneasy and tired.
Parents can't change their kids, but kids change them.
What do you mean?
You've become much gentler. More talkative, too.
Really?
-Jung-ran. -What?
Is it possible to have a Caesarian a bit early?
Of course.
If the mother's in bad health, or if the baby...
-Why, is something wrong? -No.
Oh, look at me.
I'm so happy about the pregnancy, I wasn't thinking.
Get up. Let's go to internal medicine.
Don't worry.
I did it the last time I came.
What?
Everything's fine,
but the kidneys may be pressed a bit,
so they said it'd be best
to deliver the baby at 8 months.
Sure, you be the doctor.
What's wrong?
Lucky you. You've got a well-prepared mother.
At birth, your mother will have your schoolbags ready.
That's not a bad idea.
I can just imagine it.
Bye.
-Go on it. -Yes.
Dr. Choi.
Do you have so much time in lnternal Medicine?
Do you know the person who just left now?
-She's my friend. -Your friend?
What kind of friend? Are you close?
No wonder you're single. You can't tell she's married?
Keep your eyes off her,
she's even pregnant.
So I wanted to ask...
-is she having the baby? -What?
Nice work, everyone.
Young producers these days, they're too serious.
-Ah, yes... -Eun-ha
-We should go out for soju sometime. -Oh sure, goodbye.
Are you that opposed to it?
It's not that...
What can we do? It's been decided above.
It's not like this program isn't popular.
Do we really need to broadcast this?
Well listeners like it,
and do you really think it's a lie?
I think it's genuine. Cheer up, producer Suh.
For the past few years,
I've been so anxious about
not conceiving a baby.
I could have spent that time in anticipation...
Now, amidst my joy,
I face a situation I never expected.
Thinking back now, I so regret
not enjoying the time I had.
In the time left to me, so as not to feel regret,
I want to enjoy my life as much as I can.
A letter from Ms. Paper Village.
Hui-jae!
You're not in bed yet?
I slept this afternoon.
You should lie down.
I read that at the beginning of pregnancy, you sleep a lot.
I rested until early evening, then I came out to hear your program.
-You listened to the program? -Yeah.
Don't listen anymore.
Why not?
Just, it's late at night,
there are lots of depressing letters.
Listening when you're alone isn't good.
It's not good for the baby, too.
It's because of that letter?
I didn't want to broadcast it, but...
Oh! I read that depression is
much more common at pregnancy.
You believe everything you read?
I'll get washed up, then I'll massage your legs.
What would you do in her situation?
What?
Like that woman.
If I had stomach cancer, with no time for treatment...
Hui-jae!
Just curious...
I want to know your opinion.
This is what I mean.
Don't think about that sort of thing.
I don't like that woman either.
Why not?
How can she do that?
Hiding it from her husband as long as possible.
Later, with no options left to her,
her husband finds out?
She should think of others.
-I think I understand her... -I don't.
She should give up the baby and get treatment.
No man would give up his wife for a baby he's never seen.
She'll only live a couple months anyway.
Two months, one year, 1 0 years...
how can you tell?
Medicine is never 100% accurate.
She's not giving her husband any chance.
Yes... I suppose.
But in my opinion,
I think she wants to live too.
If there were a way, she would want to live.
Let's stop this.
Okay, let's stop.
-Who is it? -It's me.
Just a minute.
One minute...
You're here early. On your way to work?
My morning sickness is lasting longer than the others...
I was just sick now, sorry.
What are you sorry for?
What's wrong, Jung-ran?
I'm sorry.
You're crazy.
You're bad.
You're really bad, you always have been.
In-ha's sleeping.
I wasn't going to see you anymore.
Hui-jae's not my friend,
Hui-jae's not my friend,
Like an incantation, I repeated it all night.
In-ha went through so much for you.
Hui-jae.
Let's do an abortion.
You may not know it, but I've always liked In-ha.
If you just go like this,
I might *** him away in anger.
I don't know?
You think I don't know?
We like the same ttokbokki stand,
the same singer, the same friends...
We're so similar... How could I not know?
When I found out about this, I thought...
Knowing that you like him,
I should bring you two together.
In-ha... In-ha is yours.
You think I was the only one who liked him?
But he picked only you.
You know that.
Hui-jae.
Let's live.
You're a doctor.
Between the baby and me,
we should choose the one who will live.
As for In-ha...
Don't tell him about this.
Please...
You won't be able to fool him,
it won't be possible.
I don't want...
to cause him pain because of me.
It will be too hard for him.
Hui-jae!
Jung-ran stopped by.
Oh, you did?
So early?
She wanted to give me nutrients,
but I never stopped by to pick them up.
Why, is something wrong?
Pregnant women should be careful. She's too thin.
In-ha takes such good care of me.
Yes, but is there anything else I can do for her?
How about taking a year off,
and going somewhere nice
-until the baby is born? -Jung-ran!
That's a good idea,
but we should earn a lot to bring up the baby well.
-It's late. I'll walk you to the car. -Where are you going? I'll do it.
Don't worry. I won't steal your husband.
-In-ha, you use cologne? -Yes.
I haven't put it on today. Can you smell it?
If you use it a long time, it becomes part of your scent.
But living with a person who vomits a lot,
it might be better not to use it.
Hui-jae said she likes it.
I never used it before marriage.
Hui-jae is more sensitive now.
You should take great care with everything.
I understand.
I feel secure having you around.
Thank you, Jung-ran.
His friendly voice is...
a great trength for the baby and me.
From long ago, he called my name and soothed me.
The voice I waited for...
Today too, I lean on his voice to ease my worries.
-Did you sleep well? -Yeah.
-What is it? -Nothing...
Hurry, aren't you late?
Yeah, I should go.
-Do you have the next letter ready? -Yes, it's ready.
-Oh, how's your wife? -Not bad.
Has she been to the hospital?
If you're so worried about her, then visit the hospital.
She's already been.
Her best friend's an obstetrician,
she said everything's fine.
-I'm relieved. -Yeah.
But do I look so worried?
You do.
You look so tired these days, I feel tired too.
Go on in.
-Yeah -The letter...
Yes, here it is.
-Ms. Paper Village... -Good luck.
Hello? Oh, Mr. Park.
Yes, how are you?
Oh, nothing special.
I enjoyed the handmade paper book.
Yes, it was really nice. Just a minute.
A letter from Ms. Paper Village.
Yes.
I love his scent.
He uses a cologne which matches his bright gaze.
The cologne mixes together with his own scent.
It smells its own scent.
But these days, the scent is difficult for me to bear.
At first, I blamed my baby
For not liking the scent.
But I discovered it is not because of my baby.
Hello? In-ha...
It is because of the cancer
in my stomach.
I wanted to remember my husband's scent a bit longer,
Now, even worse than
the pain I feel each morning
is losing my husband's scent.
But she hasn't started receiving patients!
It's okay.
I'm sorry, In-ha.
In-ha.
Pretend that you don't know.
Hui-jae wants it that way.
If my mother were alive,
do you know what she'd say?
What?
That you were caring for a cracked chamberpot.
A cracked... what? What's a chamberpot?
If it breaks, you will be in big trouble.
So you should always be careful. Great caution.
You look happy, Hui-jae!
I am...
I have my husband, and my baby...
The breeze is nice...
Should I skip work like this every day?
Sure! You think I'll refuse?
Let's do it, then. I can leave from next week.
You were fired?
Sabbatical.
One guy from each department gets a year off. With pay.
The radio station adopted it too.
Really?
Of course! Why would I lie?
Where shall we go? Is there a place you want to visit?
We can really go?
It's paid vacation?
-You'll be cold. -I'm okay.
I got a call from Park a while back.
They're having a paper exhibition,
so they'll be away, and they said
we could stay there.
-Oh, you're serious. -Hui-jae.
-It's because I'm so happy. -Are you that happy?
-I am. -Kiss me.
Hello, this is JUNG Eun-ah for Nighttime Music.
Today is a sad day for the staff of this program.
So this will be the final night with Producer Suh.
He will take some time off for a while
So today will be the last Nighttime Music
with Producer Suh
Hello, this is SUH In-ha.
I'd like to thank all the listeners
who have shared
their joys and sorrows together with us.
I'm sorry.
In particular... the letters by Ms. Paper Village...
have led us to think about our lives and families.
With thanks and encouragement
I'd like to read her letter
in place of a goodbye.
The intervals between my bouts of pain are shortening.
At first, this strange feeling was frightening and painful.
But now, the tranquil gaps between the pain
are more precious to me.
I am thankful to still have time
when I can laugh, gazing at him.
My precious body,
that feels the warmth coursing from his fingers.
This long time, which I thought would last forever,
was not enough to express my love,
not enough to express my thanks, and I want to say
that this lost time is my heart's biggest regret.
White flag up!
Blue flag down, white flag up!
What's this?
Blue flag down, white flag down.
You try it.
Okay, white flag up.
Blue flag down.
Not that way, this way.
-What is it? -Just a minute.
Okay, to the right.
-I'm curious! -Okay, open your eyes.
One, two, three...!
Have a seat.
I hid this from you
in our luggage so we could have it.
And this too. It's okay to have a little.
So that's why you were so busy.
Yeah.
Cheers!
Are you still scared of the water?
Why should l, when I have you?
It's chilly. Do you want to go in?
No, let's stay longer.
I'll do what I want, like your mother told me.
I'm a good daughter-in-law.
You do that.
If you don't want to do something, tell me.
I'll do it.
When the baby's born, you change the diapers.
Okay.
You wash the baby, too.
Yeah.
You should mix the milk as well.
All right.
As for teaching numbers and letters,
I'm ill-tempered, so I don't think I can do it.
I'll take care of it all.
I'll have a hard time watching her get injections.
So you take the her to the hospital for shots.
Yeah.
I said I'll take care of it.
Don't worry.
There's nothing for you to worry about.
Hui-jae!
It's nothing.
It's the television. Stay there!
Okay, I see...
Is it a couple fighting on TV?
Hui-jae!
Hui-jae, are you okay?
Look at me, Hui-jae!
Hui-jae!
Hold on.
Hold on. Just a minute.
-Don't! -It's okay, Hui-jae.
-No! -It's okay, Hui-jae.
It's not bad for the baby. It's morphine.
Jung-ran gave it to me.
Please Hui-jae...
Please, please...
Don't!
I'm O.K.
I'm sorry.
Why? What are you sorry for?
-When I go... -Hui-jae!
At first, I was really angry.
Why me?
Why me now?
But come to think of it,
I was much happier than others.
This time together,
being loved by you, was enough.
But...
If I go...
what about you?
You can't find things right in front of you.
Who will get you the nail clippers?
You always liked tumbling
in the thick blanket in winter,
don't use a thin blanket when summer passes.
I wasn't a wife to care well for you,
but when I go, the empty room will be so large.
Later, later,
much later, when we meet again,
I'll compliment you.
Don't feel too stressed,
don't give up on anything.
Promise me, okay?
I promise.
Hui-jae, I love you.
I love you.
What you think about Jae-in?
Jae-in?
Jae-in means...
...pretty, smart, and sincere, just like you.
Jae-in... SUH Jae-in.
Good.
Vital signals?
She's very unstable.
-What's her blood pressure? -90 over 50.
Hui-jae!
Hui-jae! Hang on a little longer.
First knife.
Scissors.
My dear Jae-in...
I hope you can express
your love openly.
To your father, in place of me.
Your mother could only say it once.
Jae-in, say I love you very often.
To the trees, to the sea,
to the sky, to your father.
-ls the baby okay? -Yes, she's fine.
Hold this.
Suction. Hold it tight!
The placenta has passed, let's do the uterine suture.
-Chromic one-zero. -Do the suture now.
The cancer has spread.
Her blood pressure is falling.
Oxygen saturation is falling.
Oxygen level at 85%!
-Reverse l.V. and oxygen! -Reverse l.V. completed.
Damn, hurry with the CPR.
Hui-jae, please open your eyes.
Open them.
Hui-jae.
If you don't wake up, you can't see Jae-in.
Please open your eyes.
Hui-jae.
In-ha... Our Jae-in is so pretty.
But what can I do? I can't go home with her.
But I'm relieved you
don't have to go home alone.
Because I leave Jae-in beside you.
You can forgive me, right?
You've been so good to me, and I was so happy.
I will carve all this in my soul before going.
I love you, trees.
I love you, sea.
I love you, sky.
I love you, mom.
I love you, dad.
I love you very much too, Jae-in.
