Beautiful Days (2001–…): Season 1, Episode 24 - Episode #1.24 - full transcript

What happened to Yon-soo?
Is she really sick?

It's not critical, is it?

We don't know yet.

It's just exhaustion from the wedding
and moving in and all that.

Don't worry she won't get worse.

It's not from exhaustion?

Should I see the doctor?

Please. You'd understand better
find out in detail.

You can't come in yet.

Don't cry in front of
Min-chul or Yon-soo.

Be strong for them.



The two of them will
have tough time.

Can she get better?

Of course.

Had I only known how sick she was,

I wouldn't have made
her work so hard.

She collapsed because I asked her
to prepare Dad's birthday dinner.

It's not like that.
She's not very healthy.

I feel so bad for Min-chul and Yon-soo.
They love each other so very much,

what pain they must be going through.

From now on, be strong for them,

so they don't start losing hope.

I don't think I can do that.

Just seeing their faces chokes me up.

I am still here.



Father must have been shocked.

A little.

I wanted to earn his love as a good
daughter-in-law. I've pretty much ruined it.

Everyone's waiting outside.

Why did you call them?

Narae called and I couldn't not tell her.

Next time, don't tell them.

I don't want to scare them like this.

Okay. I'll tell them to come in.

You look tired.
Go home and get some rest.

If she develops complications,
it'll be serious, won't it?

I hope she gets a transplant
before then.

Can't we get tested?

Yes, who knows, we might match.

That's highly unlikely.

I got tested but...

Let's get tested anyway.

We must do something.

She's right.
We have to try everything we can.

Okay. If you have your blood tested,
Will you know the result

I'll set up the blood test.

- Mr. Lee!
- Yon-soo woke up. Go in.

It's hard, huh.

Take care of yourself. You must be
strong to take care of Yon-soo.

Many guardians pass out
taking care of patients.

I thought I could do
anything for Yon-soo.

But there's nothing I can do for her.
I can't stand being useless at this point.

That's too hard

Your presence alone
provides Yon-soo strength.

I beg you for your mercy.

I'll not forget your kindness
if a donor is found.

If we can't find a donor domestically,

contact Japan, China, wherever.

Expense is no issue.

Hello. Hello?

Think of it as a physical
and have your blood tested.

At this point, the more tested,

the higher our chances.
It's only the way

that have blood test
as much as we can

I understand.
I'll come over tomorrow.

Thank you.

You'll do it, won't you?

But I'm scared of needles...

You can't do this for Director Lee?

I will. Did I say
I wasn't going to? Does it hurt?

Sena's a possible match?

Yes. The second preliminary
results were positive.

Narae!

Thank you, God.

You and Yon-soo have some fate.

I mean even sibling marrow
matching's hard.

How it can be happening

When will the final results come out?

Lt'll take a few more weeks.

I hope it'll be over soon.

Yon-soo will be cured
after the transplant?

That's not always the case.
The transplant might fail,

and the recurrence rate
for this illness is very high.

Just being able to have
a transplant is a blessing.

We have to pray that results are good.

I beg of you.
Bless us with this miracle.

You do feel better, don't you?

A person is like a flower,

you need sunlight to be happy
and strong.

Is it difficult for you?

You don't want to see us
or to talk to us on the phone.

Mr. Lee said you're better now

but you look so dispirited.

Tell us what you're thinking.

I've never been happier
in my life as now.

Love of my life who loves me back,

a family who worries about me
and a nice sister...

But I'm sad.

I'm so happy, I don't want to
let go of this happiness.

I want things to stay the same

but I get angry for getting sick.

I'm afraid I'll ruin this happiness.

I'm sorry. We should talk about
something cheerful.

I don't care
I'm just going to tell her.

Narae!

You don't have to be sad,

Sena's going to save you.

What do you mean?

Sun-jae said not to tell her
until it's confirmed.

She's so depressed

and feeling sorry for herself

tell her.

My marrow may be a match for you.
They're doing the tests right now.

Really?

You still depressed?
Are you?

You'll really do this for me?

Well, maybe I shouldn't...

It'll be painful.

I have no choice. If I don't do it,

Narae and Sun-jae
will hate me the rest of my life.

So, be nice to me,

God take the pretty one's first.

I'm so excited that I might be
getting a transplant.

Are you in hasty

It's like hanging up Christmas stockings
to wait for Santa.

I hear recovery is difficult.

I can bear anything
if I can get my health back.

Everyone's trying so hard for me,

that's the least I can do.

Right, I'm confident you can make it.

How long do you think
it'll take for recovery?

Six months?
One year?

It depends on the individual.

I'll get better really fast. I read it in
a book that the younger you are,

the faster the recovery.

I'm young and,
more important, I have you.

What's the first thing we should do when
I recover? Take a second honeymoon?

I'd love to.

I want to continue drawing too.
I'll support Min-ji,

and we can both become artists

and have exhibitions together.

Narae, Sun-jae and Sena,

I'll be forever grateful
for what they've done for me.

Actually,
I want to live thanking everyone,

it's like getting a new life.

I think I can live as a better person.

You don't seem too enthused...

We don't have the final results yet.

I just don't want to see you
disappointed.

Don't worry!
Everything will be fine.

It's Sena's marrow.

I'm certain it's a gift from God.

I'm sure you're right.

Hello?

You have the wrong number.

- The results come out today, right?
- Yes.

Then why isn't Sun-jae calling?

I can't take this suspense
I'm calling him.

Wait, he said he'd call.

It's driving me crazy.

- Lee Min-chul speaking.
- It's me.

It didn't match?
No possibility?

I told you not to say anything.

She'll be devastated.
What'll we do now?

Hi.

You didn't paint?

I couldn't.

Usually time flies when I paint.

But today, I couldn't.

Aren't you going to ask me the results?

Did Sun-jae call you?

I heard leukemia patients go
through many such episodes.

Some of them do find a match,

but the donor refuses to give.

So think of this as a test.

Think of this as a chance
for prepare your mind

I wish I could give you my marrow.

Matter of fact, not just
my marrow but my entire body.

It's okay.

There are people
in worse condition than I

and get a agony with it

I was being greedy.

But I was hopeful
while waiting for the result.

Rather the result come up
much later Isn't it?

I'm hungry
I didn't have dinner.

- I'll get it for you.
- No, I'll manage.

Slow down.

You must be so upset.

I am too.

This was the first good thing

I could've done for her.

Now I can't even do that.

They say...

God takes away the good ones first.

The god takes me early as my pretty

You think it's true?

If that's true,
He'll take Yon-soo for sure.

I don't believe that.

If He takes away all the good people,
this world will be a desolate place.

He won't let that happen.

Did you talk to Yon-soo?

I couldn't bring myself to tell her.

If I talked to her,

I think I'd have lied.

Min-chul is the one who has to
carry the burden in the end.

We can keep our distance

and avoid telling her
but he can't do that.

Whether good or bad,
he has to share it with Yon-soo.

He has to be there for her

when she goes through the pain,

it'll be very difficult.

Now you start to understand Mr. Lee...

I have no choice.

Before, Min-chul and I have
never thought on the same level.

We always had
our backs to each other.

But no longer.

We both feel the pain
and hope for Yon-soo,

and I know what it's like for him now.

- Lee Min-chul speaking.
- Hello?

- Are you Kim Yon-soo's guardian?
- Yes, I am.

This is the hospital.

Yes. Hello? Hello?

Hello. Hello?

Pardon?

Yes, it is.

I'm sorry
Could you repeat that?

Yes.

Hello?

Yes, I can hear you.

Repeat that, please.

We found a marrow match
for Kim Yon-soo.

You should come to the hospital now
to get tested.

Thank you.

Yon-soo, it's me.

We received

a call from the marrow bank in Japan.

However, it's not a perfect match.

That means the risk is greater.

A transplant's the best option for

patients with chronic leukemia,

but I can't recommend it
strongly in this case.

Consider the options carefully
before making a decision.

God is too cruel.

Did he gamble on a person's life?

Yon-soo's too softhearted
to make the decision.

Min-chul will end up making it...

How lost and frustrated he must feel.

What would you do in his shoes?

I don't know.
I really don't.

I've been thinking and...

Please don't say anything.

I want to decide on my own.

If you were to decide for me,
I'll follow it.

But, one in a million,
if something does go wrong,

you'll regret it and blame yourself

the rest of your life.

This is why I want to
make the decision

I'll be responsible for the outcome.

Yon-soo...

I'll...

go through with the transplant.

I'll trust my fate.

I've lived this far without parents,

and I was so lucky to have
met you... you who loves me.

I'm positive I have good fate.

You trust my decision, right?

SEND THIS TO NARAE - Yon-soo

Sun-jae.

The sun will rise from the west
tomorrow, your asking me to see you.

When's the date?

I go in tomorrow.

I hear you chose to have the transplant.

You know the saying...
"Only the courageous win"?

You've made the right decision.

- Are you doing well?
- Yes.

Is your work with Sena going well?

Yes. She's very dedicated.

I really want to see her on stage again.

Don't you worry
by the time you recover,

she'll be everywhere.

Sun-jae.

Go on.

I have one request.

You have to be happy.

As you have wished for my happiness,
you must be happy.

Only then can I remain your friend

and look at you without guilt.

Promise me you'll be happy, always.

Okay, I'll be happy.

And this...

This is a song I wrote.

A promise that you'll survive...

Thank you.

Thanks for the ride.

Go in. I was so happy
that you wanted to see me.

I'll cherish the gift you gave me.

What are you doing?

What any wife should be doing.

You can't be tired for tomorrow.

Rest now.

I...

I don't think there's even one day

I was a good housewife
or married woman.

I was confident that I could do
a good job. I feel bad.

You can do all that when you recover.

I should've postponed
the operation date.

We're married but there are
so many things we haven't done.

Such as?

Having a fight.

I don't think we ever could

we're too in love.

They say the more passionate the love,

the fiercer the fight.

Really?

There's more.

We didn't go as a couple
to any gatherings.

Wives compare their husbands

with other men.

You can't do that to other husbands,

their wives will nag them to death.

I have one.

What's that?

Taking baths together.

Gross.

Married couples do that.

I doubt it.

What are you thinking?

When time passes,
how you'll recall this day...

I've been thinking of this...

I hope it doesn't become a day
you'll remember.

I hope you'll remember
this day vaguely,

thinking back saying
I was anxious that day...

I fear this day will be
like a scar on your heart.

Why would today leave a scar?
It's a happy day.

You and I will start a new life together.

Right. Today's a happy day, right?

Of course.

I wish I could draw how I feel.

The love I feel for you,

how precious you are to me,

I wish I could leave it all in a painting.

I have that painting in my heart.

No, there's much more to finish.

You can finish when you're back.

You can finish when you're back

because my heart's all yours

you can come back
and continue anytime.

Come here.

Sit down.

How do you feel?

Good. Like I'm going on a picnic.

You know you have to
go on a treasure hunt on a picnic.

Go find a healthy body, okay?

I will.

- Narae.
- Yes?

I'm sorry to say this but if...

If something should go wrong...

- Yon-soo!
- Let me finish.

If something goes wrong,

can you take care
of things afterwards?

I don't want Min-chul
having to deal with that.

I know it'll be hard for you too.

But since you're like a mother to me,
will you do that?

I will...

Thank you.

Stop worrying about Min-chul,
and just think about yourself.

The living go on living.

- Sena.
- What? What now?

There's something I want you to have.

The last time I gave you this, I did so
because I thought you'd be lonely.

But this time,
I'm giving it so I won't be lonely.

Because I might have to leave
on a long journey alone.

I won't feel so lonely
knowing you have this.

So keep this for me.

And always remember

the love we shared the first time

I gave you this.

I'll put it on for you.

You have to come back
with the treasure.

You must be strong.

Don't worry
it'll be fine.

From here, go with Min-chul.

I'll be right here, waiting.

I won't go anywhere.

Don't forget I'll be waiting for you.

I love you.

I love you too.

I love you.

Are you still there?

I'm right here.

Are you there?

This stage is to celebrate Kim Sena's

10th consecutive week

at number one in the charts.

Sena! Sena! Sena!

Congratulations once again.

You couldn't have done it
without your loyal fans.

Would you like to say

something to your fans?

Tonight means so much to me.

First of all, I want to thank my fans,
who gave me love and such support.

And to Narae, my manager

who has gone through
so much for me.

And...

Sun-jae, this song's composer and

a dear friend who stayed by
my side during hardships.

And last and mostly...

to my sister who has won her
battle for her life.

I want to thank her

and to dedicate this honor to her.

I love you,

Yon-soo.

See you on the birthday!

How can we say that?
We've lived as a family for fifteen years.

- Are we strangers?
- I wish we were!

Call me your mother, jerk!

What am I to do?

I will! I don't want to live
a house like this too!

- I hate this place!
- Wench!

Why is Sun-jae calling you?

Just what are your feelings for her?

Do you like her,
or are you toying with her?

Did he tell you he loved you?

Liking someone is
like drinking salt water.

You'll get to the top no matter what.

Kill me!

I can do it.

To keep you alive, I'll do anything.

If you want me to love Sena,

I will do that.

Why can't you live like others?

What are you doing?

What am I going to do?
Please, help me live.

I don't want to die.
