[bunniefuu]

[DNA Lover]

[All people, incidents, and backgrounds...]

[in this drama are fictitious and unrelated to reality.]

It was too late to regret.

[Departures]

I let him leave without any promise of return.

I didn't even get to say my final goodbye.

I just feel infinitely powerless.

For a long time, I believed I made the right choice.

I only realized...

I was wrong after he left.

If I think about it, it could've been fate,

not just a simple coincidence.

[Slow Mailbox]

If someone engineers life...

using DNA,

there will be people you shouldn't meet.

People who will bring catastrophe and death...

when you meet them.

That's why I'm leaving.

Because I started to believe in fate.

[The Final Episode, The Unplanned Couple]

Hey.

So Jin.

What's wrong, So Jin? Are you okay?

So Jin!

Are you awake?

What happened?

Thankfully, your fever has gone down a bit.

You had a 38-degree fever earlier.

I guess the accident is just now hitting me.

I bought some medicine, so make sure to take it.

Now that you're awake, I'll go.

You're going to go?

Thanks, Kang Hoon.

So Jin.

I don't want you to hurt so much.

I'll go.

What should I do?

[Sim General Hospital]

This punk should let me know whether or not he arrived safely.

He's still the same, even now that he has left.

I hope Doctor Sim arrived safely.

Me too.

Doesn't the hospital feel empty and gloomy without him?

Why does it feel gloomy? I'm here.

Right.

I miss you and Doctor Sim...

bickering with each other.

How sad.

What are you talking about?

It is boring without him.

But I'm sure he'll be fine there.

- One order of sundae to go, please. - Okay.

What are you thinking so hard about?

Right.

When did you get here?

Are things going well with So Jin?

Yes.

That's good.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

I gave you lots of liver and lung.

Thank you.

See you later, then.

It's not going well.

What?

It's not going well.

Do you want a drink?

Eating like this is pretty nice.

It's kind of romantic.

Do you come here often?

Yes. I have some special memories here.

When I was young,

I met So Jin here for the first time.

Is it okay for me to be here with you?

Yeon Woo is not here anymore.

Everything should be good with So Jin now.

But you don't seem very happy.

Seriously.

Feelings are so strange.

I thought Yeon Woo leaving...

would solve everything.

But when that situation actually came,

I lost my confidence.

"Can I really make..."

"So Jin happy? Can I fill her heart?"

I asked myself those questions for a long time.

Actually,

I've known the answer for a long time,

but I tried to deny it.

How are you so similar to me?

I was the same.

I think I demanded their love to feel happy...

even though that person didn't want me.

Looking back, I was so selfish and bad.

That's why I let him go.

I don't know about the other things,

but you're wrong about one thing.

- What? - You're not...

a selfish and bad person.

I know that.

I didn't know...

you could say things like that.

They say when people suddenly change, they die.

Are you sick?

- I'm not. - Are you sure?

You seem strange.

What?

Where did all of my liver and lung pieces go?

That's strange.

I only had one piece each. Where did they go?

It wasn't me. It really wasn't.

Are you acting innocent?

What? I only ate one. Hold on.

Goodness.

- Where did they go? - What is this?

It wasn't me. Did I eat the wrong thing?

I guess I ate the innards. Did I mistake it for sundae?

That's strange. Why do you keep denying it?

- Where did they go? - What?

- Come on. - There's one left, Mi Eun.

Father Andrea.

I'm Sister Anna.

Where did he go?

There's no mass.

Father Andrea.

Sister Anna. What brings you here?

I was worried because you didn't come to mass.

Were you here the whole time?

Sister Anna.

Yes, Father.

I'm a priest who claims to love God...

but can't love people.

God tells us to love people.

I don't deserve to be a priest.

What do you mean by that?

I knew Yi Myung was struggling,

but I never offered a helping hand.

Yi Myung...

k*lled the family who abused him and sent him back to the orphanage.

While he was in prison,

he sent me dozens of letters.

But I...

didn't respond to a single one.

I just put...

the responsibility on God to take care of Yi Myung,

and I turned away from him.

Yi Myung.

Yi Myung!

Yi Myung!

Yi Myung may have stolen...

my robes and Bible...

because he missed me.

But I didn't even look in his direction.

I was worried that I would drown...

in the darkness inside of him if I met him.

- I was afraid of that... - No.

You...

love people.

Didn't you come into the closet to save me...

because of your love for a person?

Even then,

I was the one being consoled.

By you.

As long as I remain a priest,

I won't be able to love anyone.

All done. Let's go.

Why are you working on that scarf in the middle of the summer?

You don't actually believe what I said...

about the thread of fate, do you?

I just want to give it to her as a present.

She gets cold easily.

Who?

So Jin.

- Kang Hoon, do you... - It's not like that.

I want So Jin...

to wear this scarf and meet a good guy.

So Jin should meet...

someone she can't forget even after they're gone, like you.

What about you?

[In-hospital Pharmacy]

Hello.

Ms. Eo. Big news.

Do you know what I just saw?

Look at this.

Hello.

- Ta-da. - Oh, my.

Does Dr. Yeo look great on TV?

He's a celebrity. I'm going to get an autograph later.

Don't be dramatic.

He's introducing himself.

- Let's see. - I'm Kwang Su...

of Solo Land Season 23.

I was born in 1988, and I'm 36 years old.

I live in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

I'm a doctor of endourology at Sim General Hospital...

in Cheongdam-dong.

I have...

a house, a car,

and many friends,

but I'm missing one thing.

That's...

["I Am Solo"]

Well...

I actually...

[A surprise confession]

I have aspermia.

But I plan...

to use all of the money and time I would've spent on my kids...

on myself and my wife.

I want to meet someone who would like to live...

a DINK lifestyle with me.

Thank you.

What is your ideal type?

Well, I like...

small, fragile,

and feminine women.

Oh, my.

I used to.

But not too long ago,

I changed a lot after being in a relationship...

that completely changed my life.

Now, I don't have an ideal type.

All of you sitting here...

can become my ideal type.

What kind of hobbies do you have?

Do you like to exercise?

I didn't like to exercise, but I like it now.

I tend to take care of myself well.

When I get a girlfriend, I want to go...

to a foot spa with her.

I'm embarrassed of my feet.

Why? They're the prettiest feet in the world.

I want to go to a drive-in theatre once a week.

Call me Jung Tam.

Don't call me doctor.

Or my lovely cutie-pie.

Even after getting married,

I want to spend every day like we're on...

a romantic date.

I'm actually a DINK too.

I see.

["I Am Solo"]

We just broke up!

[Sim General Hospital]

Our celebrity.

No pictures!

Hello.

Doctor Yeo. Why do you look so great on TV?

Are you going to be a cool kid now?

Wait. Please give me an autograph.

I'm not a cool kid.

Why do you look so sad?

Because I'm lonely.

- Did you not get a match? - What?

What happened? Give us a spoiler.

Did it not work out?

I don't know.

Why did you bring up the aspermia thing?

Seriously. Why did he do that?

Here is your drink.

Thank you.

["Artist Yoo Myung Hee, Who is Fighting Lung Cancer,"]

["Will Hold a Retrospective Exhibit on Death"]

["A Kiss with Death, a Retrospective by Yoo Myung Hee"]

[Artist Yoo Myung Hee will hold an exhibit on June 15.]

Is the project going well?

I'm sorry. You must be going through a lot.

It's okay. I should separate my personal life from work.

I'm a bit worried about the topic.

How about you choose a topic that you're an expert in?

Romance.

You should take this chance to do it officially.

Right...

I'm not sure.

One second.

[So Ri]

Hello?

What's going on?

What?

Okay. I'll be right there.

Ms. Han.

Did something happen? What's wrong?

Oh, I...

I...

Well, I will... I'll head home early today.

Let's talk about the details tomorrow.

I'm sorry. I'll get going.

Okay.

Mom.

You're here.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's nothing. You don't need to worry.

Nothing?

You should've at least told me.

Who else can you talk to other than me?

Mi Eun.

Death isn't a tragedy but a providence.

I'm so happy...

that I'm a painter who gets inspiration from death.

I need you to understand me.

Mom.

Understand what?

Did I have to hear about you dying through a news article?

Mi Eun. You should go for today.

Okay, Mom. I'll be back another day.

What's with the exhibition?

You don't even have enough time to get surgery and chemotherapy.

Why are you holding this dumb exhibit?

Do you want me...

to get my lung cut out,

get anti-cancer injections, vomit, pass out,

while I wither away in fear...

of the cancer spreading...

to my organs, bones, and brain?

Why are you already thinking of dying?

Many people live healthy lives...

after getting surgery and making a full recovery.

I'm going to get surgery...

after the exhibition is over.

What if the cancer spreads in that time?

It's my cancer. It doesn't have anything to do with you two.

What?

If you feel that bad,

hold an exhibit for me after I die.

You're so selfish...

until the end.

Don't you care about me and So Ri?

I haven't done anything for you.

How can I burden you now?

I've just lived my life fighting my fate.

Although that fate...

eventually brought me here.

You two don't need to be swallowed up by my fate.

I won't apologize...

to you or anyone.

So...

don't suddenly ask me to be a mom now.

We can just live our own lives.

As we've always done.

Catch me if you can.

- Catch me if you can. - Dad!

Come and catch me.

- Be careful. - I'm going to catch you.

I'm going to catch you.

I'm going to catch you.

I caught you!

We ended up as you said.

So Ri and I...

aren't weak.

Even if you leave this world,

we will never fall.

So...

please live.

Whether it be fighting or whatever you did so far,

don't force us to watch you...

give into your destiny.

Mom.

Are you filming a melodrama?

You're so annoying.

When you introduced yourself,

- you said you'd met your true love. - Yes.

Why did you break up?

Oh, well...

[I'm Alone]

I was confident...

I could love her for the rest of my life.

But I guess that wasn't...

good enough.

Actually...

Just looking at this reminds me of her.

[I miss my ex so much.]

I miss her...

like crazy.

[He burst into tears.]

[Flustered]

Watch him cry. Isn't he hilarious?

How can a crying guy look this pathetic?

My gosh.

Seriously?

Oh, no.

This is funny?

Do you think this is funny?

What's her problem?

Why did I even come here?

Why did he cry on national television?

Darn it.

Goodbye.

- Wait. Let's... - Let go of me.

Let's talk.

Do we have anything left to say?

Oh, do you have good news to share...

about the new DINK partner you met?

Did you see me on "I'm Alone?"

No. I'm way too busy...

to watch stuff like "I'm Alone."

Goodbye.

No, wait.

I didn't go on because I wanted to.

A friend of mine produces the show,

and a guy backed out at the last minute.

He begged me to fill in, and I had no choice.

You don't have to explain that to me.

I don't want my feelings to be misconstrued.

I thought of you throughout the whole thing.

I didn't care for any of the women.

Did you really not miss me at all?

I missed you a lot,

Sung Mi.

I did not miss you.

Could you look at me as you say that?

I did not...

miss you.

Sung Mi.

I love you.

What are you doing?

You know what I'm doing.

Let me go.

- Stay still. - Okay.

[The Bible]

I don't consider this apostasy.

I finally broke free of the fence that held me in.

I know, Father.

This is just another path to finding God.

Yes.

[Always Sushi]

Kang Hoon.

So Jin.

Well...

It's nice in the evening. Shall we go somewhere?

You know...

whenever I broke up with someone,

I came up here to chew out and curse...

the guy who hurt me.

But this time...

I found myself resenting me.

I thought...

Yeon Woo had left me to run away.

But...

I was the one who had run away.

Because our DNA didn't match,

I ignored the feelings I had for him.

Out of fear that I'd get hurt again if it wasn't destiny,

I didn't even believe...

how he felt about me.

So I've decided...

to have some courage.

I'll forget about DNA and destiny...

and follow...

my heart.

What if Yeon Woo never returns?

No.

What if he does...

and he no longer loves you?

Then...

I'll cry.

I'll cry and suffer.

And get over it.

Can I...

give you a hug?

I'm free!

Han So Jin finally set me free!

Yes!

You go ahead.

Go on.

- Go. - I'll go ahead.

Hey.

I guess I came at the right time.

Why are you here?

Well...

I couldn't sleep.

I was feeling a bit lonely,

and this place came to mind.

I came by wondering if you'd be here too,

and here you are.

We must have a connection.

I saw the movie "The Notebook."

"I might be someone easy to forget,"

"but I gave my soul to loving one woman."

"It's a successful life."

That's what you're like.

So Jin's a real idiot.

To reject someone like you.

Well, I guess you're right.

My heart does hurt bad.

But deep inside, I'm relieved.

See? I was right.

I hope So Jin will be happy.

She will be.

She's quite resilient.

How about...

the two people who got rejected...

drink together?

We can't drink here.

- Sorry. You're all wet. - I'm sorry.

Here.

Thank you.

You're much more thoughtful than I expected.

You even have a handkerchief.

That's because...

So Jin's clumsy and scatterbrained.

I started carrying around a handkerchief.

I won't need it anymore.

You never know.

You might meet someone else whom you'd want to look after.

Shall we go?

Do you want to watch a late-night movie?

It will cheer you up.

Right now?

There's no limit to time or location when it comes to cheering up.

- But... - Let's go.

A toast?

You can't drink in public parks.

[MHC gene composition, Immunity gene and smell]

[Seo Kang Hoon]

I've been looking for and finding answers...

to the difficult problems I'd faced in life.

[Seo Kang Hoon]

There's still one assignment...

in my heart that I've yet to solve.

[1 year later]

Ta-da.

Yeon Woo.

I made gopchang tteokbokki that you love.

Have a look.

Here.

How does it look?

Mom. Gopchang tteokbokki is best when it's spicy.

Is it?

Is that why you didn't eat much of mine?

You can't eat spicy food.

When I visit you in Korea next time,

I'll make you royal tteokbokki...

with beef and soy sauce.

You'll visit?

Of course, I should.

I heard you'll open a clinic in the countryside.

You'll be tired. I should look after you.

It's not my clinic.

I get paid a monthly salary.

What?

You're on a salary?

Why? Is it because of your hand?

No.

It's because I need time to settle in here.

See you soon, Mom.

Pass.

Pass!

Hey. Are they serving curry today?

The kids must be happy.

- Hi. - Hello.

- Goodness. - Oh, thank you.

You look much happier here.

Do I?

The children cheer me up and give me strength.

I also feel closer to the God...

I searched for all along.

I can tell.

This suits you way more than your priest uniform.

I'm a bit envious that you look happier.

Yes. I'm happy.

Thanks for coming to volunteer every time.

Don't thank me.

I come once a month for some inner healing.

In the end, everyone just wants to be happy.

Me, all the kids here,

you,

and Yi Myung.

- You can't go. - I really have to.

Please. Let go of me.

- Why are you doing this to me? - Come back inside.

- Let's play. - Play with us.

So Jin!

What took you so long?

Kids. Aunt So Jin's here.

You should say hi.

Charge!

Long time no see. How have you been?

Wait. I can't drop this.

- Were you having fun? - I'll take that for you.

Thank you.

- Take your time. - Okay.

A Ri.

She has changed.

Shall we start with Min Jae?

Min Jae.

I told you last time to eat lots of vegetables.

Did you do so last month?

No.

Why not? You promised.

But there are so many tasty things...

other than vegetables out there.

I love meat.

Even so, you made a promise, so let's try to stick to it.

Okay? Promise.

Ms. Han. I kept my promise.

I skipped rope a hundred times every day.

My height gene will grow, right?

Nice, Yoon Soo.

You deserve a high-five.

Good job. But you must keep it up.

- Okay. - Promise.

- Next. - Let's break up.

What?

You said we were meant to be.

How can love change?

Why are you so childish?

We both like beans stewed in soy sauce.

We both like teddy bears.

We both like the same colour...

and star signs. You said it was fate.

How is that important?

There's no such thing as fate, silly.

Then what's important?

Whether you truly like each other.

Don't you know that?

Oh, right.

I don't like beans stewed in soy sauce anymore.

It can't be.

Shall we get started?

[To Sim Yeon Woo]

[Iroun Genetic Center]

For the last year, I've been working on...

the Iroun Project.

[Iroun Genetic Center]

[Parkinson's disease gene GPR27]

In 2023,

it was reported that GPR27, a gene in Koreans...

that causes Parkinson's disease was discovered.

So for the past year, to predict...

future cases and provide gene-specific treatments,

our team has been visiting...

the elderly living in areas with less medical coverage...

to test their genes.

Because this project targets the elderly,

the cases must be managed locally.

We plan to cooperate with local elderly care centres...

and organizations that provide home care...

in the future.

Nice.

Han So Jin's project switched genres.

From a melodrama to human drama.

I like it.

The Iroun Project.

She's the reason we have to visit rundown areas all over.

When will I ever get my weekends back?

A Ri. Keep it up.

I'll join you this time.

I like that, BK.

Remember it's hard to look after the elderly.

Okay.

Are we...

there yet?

We're almost there. Hang in a bit longer.

You can manage.

[Yangmi-ri Village Hall]

- We're done, sir. - Okay.

- Thanks. - Well done.

- Oh, thank you. - Good job.

- It must've been hard. - Thanks.

- Thank you. See you. - Bye.

Goodbye.

- Take the first seat. - Hello.

- Listen to this man. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

We'll give you this cup with a funnel.

With the tip of your tongue, rub the inside...

of your cheek five times on each side.

Then collect a lot of saliva...

and spit it into the cup.

Shall we do that?

Here's your cup.

- Here, ma'am. - Here.

Poke your cheek with your tongue.

[Baek Se Mi. I have dementia.]

I'll do this for you in another way.

Ma'am. Open your mouth.

Say "ah."

- Say "ah." - Sweetie.

She's making Se Mi do something strange.

"Sweetie?"

Well...

I see.

No one has called me that in a long time.

Se Mi.

If you open your mouth wide,

your sweetie will give you something sweet.

No. Get lost.

"Get lost?"

I don't eat anything unless it's from a handsome boy.

Ma'am.

It might be a matter of taste,

but his facial bone structure is symmetrical...

and his eyes, nose, and mouth are harmoniously placed.

Wouldn't you say he's handsome enough?

No.

The sweet doctor who buys me nice food...

is much better looking.

Is there a doctor...

who has more bigger and sharper eyes than mine?

Why?

Do you think there are no clinics here?

We have a doctor who is just as skilled...

as the ones where you're from.

- Yes, of course. - That's possible.

Good job.

Oh, right.

Here's a pen as a souvenir.

It's yours.

You did great today.

- Well done. - You can go.

- Ma'am. Let me help you. - Thank you.

Watch your step.

- Come and sit over here. - Okay.

Yes. Hello.

[Consulting Room]

The elderly all went to the village hall.

I guess no one will come by today.

Some people came from Seoul to do some DNA tests.

A DNA test?

Should we go too?

Well, besides that. It's been over two weeks...

since Mr. Kim Sang Eun came in for an appointment.

We should have him come today.

He won't come today.

It's his wife's birthday.

Everyone in this village knows about his wife's birthday.

He's been cooking a birthday meal for ten years.

Then, I should try to sneak into...

- that birthday party too. - Pardon?

Oh, I'm totally exhausted.

Let's eat something...

- when we get to Seoul. - All right.

What? Those big, sharp eyes?

[Iroun Genetic Center]

[Iroun Genetic Center]

- You should come next year too. - Yes, come again.

- Yes, I will. - Thanks for coming.

Sir.

Sir?

- Who is it? - Oh, it's me.

I wanted to congratulate your wife's birthday too.

- Here's some pork belly. - Goodness, thank you.

I've been needing someone to eat my seaweed soup.

You look great today.

- Do I? I look good, right? - Yes.

- Come in. - Thank you.

It feels like yesterday when my wife passed away.

I can't remember how many birthdays it's been.

Sir, have you taken the medicine I prescribed for you?

The medicine you prescribed me...

made me sleepy, so I didn't take them.

Come on. You still have to take them.

If things get worse, you might have to go to a big hospital in Seoul.

Where would I go? I won't leave this place.

My wife's name was Hyang Mi.

This village is called Hyangmi-ri.

That was why she was called Hyang Mi.

She was born in Hyangmi-ri and lived her whole life with me.

So, how would I leave this place?

Sir, could I see your phone for a minute?

Sure.

From now on, you have to take your medicine...

whenever you hear this alarm.

Three times a day.

If you don't, you'll keep forgetting about your wife.

That will never happen.

I know the day I will die.

The day I forget about Hyang Mi is the day that I'll die.

You two must've been a very loving couple.

I'm a sensitive and stubborn man.

Hyang Mi was like a teenage girl.

Since the beginning of our marriage,

we fought practically every day.

I thought we wouldn't fight when we got older,

but we fought so often when we were together.

So, I spent several years at my son's house in Suwon too.

All throughout our lives, we said we couldn't live with each other,

bringing up divorce several times when we were angry.

But I wonder what was in here.

Even when we'd split apart,

we'd end up getting back together again.

We said it was such a tenacious relationship.

But I only just found out that was...

all a connection and fate.

- Sir. - Yes?

Have you...

ever thought...

that it might've been better...

for you to separate...

for good?

What?

Oh, it's nothing. I...

I haven't married yet, so I said the wrong thing.

I'm sorry.

What's so important about being happy or not?

The fact that there was someone to spend every moment with,

and the fact that it was Hyang Mi, is what makes me happy.

Here.

Oh, right.

There.

Thank you.

[Iroun Genetic Center]

Sometimes, in that direction,

you can see my favourite star.

I found out later that the star was called Io.

Io is a moon of Jupiter.

It became a nightmare star because it was the closest to Jupiter.

Lava explodes on one side,

and the other side without lava is minus 148°C.

So, it's either a ball of fire or a ball of ice.

So, that star became a nightmare...

because they're stuck together?

Still, if I were Io,

I'd never want to get far away from Jupiter.

If they weren't close together,

Io would wander around the endless outer space alone.

I like being alone.

I liked being alone.

[Jung Tam]

Hey, Jung Tam.

- Thank you. Oh, you came. - Congratulations.

Hey.

Oh, my.

It's great to see you.

- Goodness. - Congratulations.

- Why do you look so cool? - Gosh, no.

- Congratulations. - Hey, little one.

You're so cute.

Oh, you're here.

- Congratulations on your wedding. - Oh, thank you.

Congratulations.

- Oh, my. - Hey.

You're here.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Yes, thank you.

Hey, what is all this?

Oh, hey.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Yes, thank you.

My goodness.

The wedding just had to be on the same day as your business trip.

The reception seems like it'll go on for a while.

Why don't you just leave tomorrow?

When I looked at the elders' test results,

there was someone with a predictor for Parkinson's.

I thought explaining it in person would be better than a letter.

I'll make it quick.

Yes, you should.

By the way,

everyone from Sim Hospital must be coming today.

I'm not sure.

I'm guessing they will.

Gosh, won't Vice Director Sim come today?

Why do you keep liking him? You know it's no use.

Hello.

I'm the MC for today's wedding. I'm Seo Kang Hoon.

Before we begin today's ceremony,

Yeo Jung Tam, the groom,

says he has something he must say to the guests.

So, I will deliver his message instead.

"Today,"

"I am going to marry..."

"my DNA lover who I met through destiny."

"Someone told me once..."

"that providence is in coincidence..."

"and that there's a gene that acts on providence."

Ms. Han, is telepathy really possible?

Well...

I think there's providence in some coincidences.

And there could be a gene...

that acts on that providence. I'm doing research on that.

Like when you go somewhere without much thought,

but you run into someone?

That's simply a coincidence.

"I want to meet someone."

"I really want to meet someone."

You send a signal.

"Like Sung Mi and me,"

"DNA lovers who have help from upon high..."

"are destined to meet someday."

"Today, before all of you,"

"I will see that connection bear fruit."

Acting like I don't care

I've been hiding it well

Oh, yes

Because of you, I can't even sleep

Because of you, my heart flutters all night

Now, I want to say it

Honestly

I'll only let you walk on a flowery path

I'll act just how you want me to

From the moment I first got to know you

Inside my mind

Grandma.

- Grandma. - You're here, Foreman.

Yes, hello.

- Hello. - Oh, hello.

- Have you been well? - Yes.

That's enough.

- Ms. Baek Se Mi. - Yes, thank you.

Read it through, and call me if you have any questions.

Okay.

Now,

shall we go to Mr. Kim Sang Eun's place?

Oh, that old man?

He went to the handsome fellow.

"The handsome fellow?"

Mr. Kim must have gone to the hospital.

I see.

Then, could you tell me the name of the hospital?

I have to deliver this to Mr. Kim today.

- Hello, sir. - Yes.

- You remember me, don't you? - Of course.

You know, last time,

I came to run a DNA test for you.

I have your results.

But when I looked at the results,

you have a risk of...

I know my own illness.

I'll deal with it myself, so leave.

You know that you can't just leave it untreated.

It can't be fixed.

No, we'll be able to fix it someday soon.

That's why we're working hard to do research and...

And if you fix it?

- What? - What will I do if you fix it?

If you fix my illness, and I live longer,

it'll only put off the day I get to meet her.

"The day I get to meet her?"

Sir.

If I've waited this long, it's about time I meet her now.

You can go now.

Ms. Han So Jin.

Did you come back from the US?

Yes.

When? When did you get back?

It hasn't been that long.

Did you quit working as a gynaecologist?

I'm still working as a doctor.

I thought I was a total city boy,

but living here is fun.

The villagers come to me every day and ask me to eat with them.

So, I don't eat alone.

There's a problem with your hand, isn't there?

Is it because of your hand that you can't be...

a gynaecologist or perform surgery anymore?

Come on. It's all better.

Well, it's not fully what it used to be,

but I'm getting used to...

my new senses.

And I had surgery recently too.

It was because of me.

You should fix that.

You think everything is your fault.

Have you already forgotten...

that you were in danger because of me?

Besides that,

congratulate me.

Congratulate you on what?

Now, I really want to become a doctor.

Then, do you mean you haven't been a doctor so far?

I always thought about quitting.

For the first time in my life, I have passion...

for what I'm doing.

Don't worry too much about Mr. Kim Sang Eun.

I'll do my best to convince him.

When do you go back to Seoul?

Well...

So, Ms. Baek Se Mi said...

she had a question about her test result.

I'm going to meet with her son...

and spend the night at their bed and breakfast before I go back.

Well, then.

If you're to go back up to Seoul early tomorrow,

you should go and get some rest.

Yes, then...

Right.

I went to the airport that day.

I just wanted to tell you.

I'll be going, then.

It's been over a year already.

Yeon Woo is...

so quick to sort out his emotions.

Do you need realistic dating advice that's brutally honest?

We give you advice on your dating life.

"Backseat Dating Advice" begins now.

["Backseat Dating Advice"]

Today is the first anniversary of "Backseat Dating Advice."

So, we're doing a live broadcast in an open studio.

Goodness.

Thankfully, so many people have come to see the show.

["Backseat Dating Advice"]

What is it?

Is someone here your type, Ms. Jang?

We've prepared various segments.

First, let's take some questions.

The man in the back.

I'll ask you a question, Ms. Jang.

You're in your 30s now.

Would you still be polyamorous...

in your 60s too?

There's something...

I want to confess to you all today.

I am no longer...

polyamorous.

But that doesn't mean I'm monogamous either.

I'm in the process of finding a third option,

or my own dating style.

What's important is...

that I've realized it's impossible for someone who can't love...

even a single person properly...

to love multiple people.

I believe...

this is also part of my painful growth.

Yes, please give Ms. Jang's courageous confession...

another round of applause.

Hello.

Yes, hello.

Is Dr. Sim Yeon Woo here?

Oh, Dr. Sim?

He has the day off today.

Oh, it's his day off?

He goes somewhere once a month.

He only smiles when I ask him about it.

I see.

Then, will I be able to meet him if I wait here?

He won't be back today.

He spends a night there.

Oh, is that so?

All right. Goodbye.

Yes, goodbye.

Excuse me.

What is this hospital's address?

[Slow Post Box]

Nothing is intended to happen between us,

but should we...

start again?

The sea looks warmer than usual, So Jin.

[Slow Post Box]

For some reason,

I want to send this postcard.

It will be stamped "Address Unknown," though.

What... So Jin, how did you come...

Well,

I came to send a postcard.

To whom?

To you, a year from now.

What will you write?

I wrote that...

I let my DNA lover go because of you.

I don't mean you should take responsibility.

My choice is my responsibility.

It's just that...

no matter what happens from now on...

And we don't know how we might change,

but I want to...

start this risky relationship again.

It's not my DNA lover...

but you whom I love.

I love you too, So Jin.

Do you want to walk to the lighthouse?

Shall we?

I'll just go and mail this postcard.

All right.

This man might not be my DNA lover.

No, he probably isn't.

My research isn't wrong.

So, we might find ourselves in pain,

hurt, and uncomfortable.

But we decided to start again.

Instead of DNA or destiny,

I'm going to try believing in love.

So, today,

I will scrap my theory...

on DNA lovers.
