[DNA Lover]

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

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

In my world,

there are two types of men.

Oh, dear. You're too much, So Jin.

You're a fool.

The type of man who I'm
madly attracted to genetically...

but keeps hurting me.

Are you okay?

The type of man who I'm not
genetically attracted to at all...

but keeps saving me.

- Why are you in pain?
- You're a fool.

- That pains my heart.
- You're a fool.

Kang Hoon is upset.

You're a fool, So Jin.

What kind of prank is
destiny playing on me?

[Episode 8: Shall We Kiss?]

Let's get you up.

Slowly.

Goodness.

You have acute enteritis.

What on earth did Yeon Woo feed you?

Yeon Woo did nothing wrong.

I should've been careful.

How can you say that now?

Drink some of this. It'll
help you get better soon.

When I have enteritis,
drinking barley tea...

helps me feel better rather than plum tea.

I'm not the same as
you. I'll drink it later.

Are you okay?

Yeon Woo, how did you come here...

He called your phone, so I told him.

Yeon Woo, what on earth did you
feed her that she got acute enteritis?

I didn't know you were so badly
lactose intolerant. I'm so sorry.

I told you it wasn't Yeon Woo's fault.

So Jin can't eat greasy
foods or fresh cream.

Fresh cream?

But how were you fine with the
sauce from the convenience store?

I must've been nervous about
eating at your place for the first time.

- Ms. Han So Jin?
- Yes.

For your enteritis, you
can leave once the IV drip...

with antibiotics is finished
and you get your medication.

But we found something off.

There's something protruding...

in your lower left abdominal area.

What?

Let's have you lie down for now.

- Oh, okay.
- Slowly.

One moment.

I'll press down on it.

Are you okay?

It doesn't hurt.

Could you both wait outside for now?

Yeon Woo, let's go outside.

Could I stay and watch
the ultrasound with you?

In similar cases,

patients had uterine
myomas or cervical cancer.

Cancer?

Oh, I...

I have the BRCA gene.

That means it's not weird for
me to get this kind of disease.

It is earlier than I expected, but...

Why, you...

How can you say that
without even batting an eye?

So Jin, can I look at your
ultrasound image myself?

Is that okay?

No. You can't.

Never. Both of you, get out.

I'm sorry. This is an
important matter for me too.

I'll check for myself.

[Waiting Room]

Hey, Yeon Woo. How is So Jin?

Well...

So, we'll only know after some more tests,

but I think it's a uterine myoma.

Then, doesn't she need surgery?

Once we know the location and
size, she should get surgery right away.

I mean, how could she
have not known until now?

Then, she must've been in
pain every now and then, right?

I'll take good care of
her. Don't worry too much.

By the way, Kang Hoon.

What are you...

to So Jin?

Kang Hoon. I need you to come get me.

I think I'm going to die.

It hurts so bad.

You know,

she asked for you when she was
the most desperate and in danger.

There are people you want to
share your hurt and struggles with.

And there are people you want
to share just the good things with.

It's like that. Don't mind me.

Are you okay?

Even if she only asks for
you when she's in pain?

I'm fine.

In whatever moment,

I'll run to So Jin if she asks for me.

Thanks, Yeon Woo.

Do not follow me!

Just...

let me leave. Please.

What's the matter?

So Jin.

I'm sorry. I'll check for myself.

Darn it.

I was just trying to share his
gut microbiome. What is all this?

Here.

You know So Jin.

She doesn't eat anything besides
my porridge when she's sick.

If she won't eat, you should
spoon-feed her yourself.

Is So Jin a baby?

She likes that. Go on.

- I'll be going, then.
- Bye.

Goodness.

Good grief.

You'll only get better if you
starve until the diarrhea stops.

But this is pure t*rture.

I don't think my stomach hurts anymore.

Can't I just eat this?

Hey.

Enteritis doesn't go away
after one shot of antibiotics.

But it doesn't hurt that much.

When I have enteritis,
drinking barley tea...

helps me feel better rather than plum tea.

It really doesn't hurt.

Is it because of the barley tea?

Kang Hoon is here.

Dad packed some food for you to eat.

Stop picking at your food
and eat with more gusto.

Here. Open wide.

That's for someone with your big mouth.

Just eat.

Open wide, okay?

Here it comes.

It's too bland. I should
add some soy sauce.

Of course, porridge is bland.

But it's too bland!

Gosh, what are you talking about?

Wait!

Sharing a spoon is
practically like an indirect kiss.

It's a moment where you
share the germs in your saliva.

An indirect kiss?

Germs?

Gross.

Hey, it's not like we haven't
shared a spoon before.

But this isn't right.

Goodness.

- There you go.
- Come on.

What are you doing?

Then, So Jin.

Are you giving up on
sharing germs with Sewer...

by eating the same food as him?

Yes.

I think that went down the drain.

Goodness.

I'm leaving.

Return the thermos later.

I owe your dad so much.
Let him know I said thank you.

Make sure to go to Yeon Woo for
your appointments. Don't be shy.

You have to get surgery
from the best doctor.

I don't know about anything else,
but Yeon Woo is a reliable doctor.

Come on.

I'll get surgery from someone else.

How can I get surgery from Yeon Woo too?

I'll check up on you later.

I'm off.

[Jeongdo Water Parsley]

A Ri, could I give two bunches
of that water parsley to Mr. Seo?

Go ahead, then. I know
the seller's phone number,

so I can get more easily.

Thank you.

Put that down. You'll get enteritis too.

Kang Hoon. Wait up!

Don't run.

You'll fall, okay?

Be careful.

Hey, are you okay? Is your back all right?

I told you not to run.

If you're okay, how about you get up now?

Oh, right.

These are still fine, though.

Here, take these to Mr. Seo.

A Ri bought these, so
I'm sure they're organic.

Okay. Thanks.

I'll be going now.

Okay. Bye.

- Bye.
- Okay.

- Dad.
- Yes?

So Jin asked me to give these to you.

Hey, it's water parsley.

Kang Hoon, what's wrong?

What?

Why is your face so red?

- Do you have a fever?
- No.

No. No!

Dad, I'll go and get some air.

What? Hey, Kang Hoon.

Our lips just bumped into
each other by accident.

Right.

It's not that big a deal. Goodness.

Darn it. Run.

Just run for now.

Run! Darn.

He doesn't seem to be in his right mind.

Why is he running around
in the middle of the night?

You always cry here by
yourself, right? I saw you.

Go away.

Go away!

I'll leave if you tell me
why you're crying, little kid.

I'm not a little kid.

I have a name.

I'm Seo Kang Hoon.

Kang Hoon?

But why do you cry every day?

My mom keeps asking me who I am.

Mom doesn't know my name.

Is your mom sick?

I don't know.

All she does is sleep all day.

Then, from now on,

I'll call your name often
instead of your mom. Okay?

You're not my mom!

- Kang Hoon.
- Stop calling me!

Kang Hoon. Seo Kang Hoon.

Seo Kang Hoon.

Right. It's So Jin.

She's just So Jin. Right.

I...

like So Jin?

I sent you a bag as a present.

We can have matching handbags.

Really?

Goodness, you sure are the best, Mom.

By the way, are you drinking
alone on your birthday?

Yes, I don't have anyone
to spend my birthday with.

I'll be right there. Wait for me.

No, Mom, it's okay.

Actually, there was one person...

I wanted to spend today with.

One person?

Yeon Woo.

Thinking back, when Yeon Woo and I dated,

half of what we did was
pack up and travel together.

But we didn't take photos together.

Is that so?

This photo...

A Belgian friend sent
it to me two years ago.

I had just shoved it in somewhere...

until I took it out after
having a few drinks now.

I feel...

a bit weird, Mom.

The fact that this is the only
photo I have with Yeon Woo.

Mi Eun.

Do you love that man?

Of course, I love him.

I have lots of people I love.

And Yeon Woo is one of them.

I just...

wanted to eat delicious food with
Yeon Woo and talk about the past.

Oh, that's too bad.

I invited So Jin over for dinner.

Then I'll just stay for some tea.

Sorry. I'm cooking right now,

and I'd like to focus just on that.

Let's do that, then.

You can keep this.

Get home safely. Sorry.

But I was turned away
at Yeon Woo's front door.

I mean...

I actually feel so humiliated
and lame right now.

But here I am, talking
about Yeon Woo again.

- Mom.
- Yes?

I know it's not right.

But...

I want him.

That's what makes you my daughter.

Having something and
abandoning something...

You should do it all.

What do you think?
Doesn't this place look good?

Yes. Oh, right.

Oh, yes.

Did you ask the coach
about how I like blue crab?

The blue crab here is as
full of meat as snow crabs.

But they're not as big as snow
crabs, so you need some skill.

I'll get the meat out for you.

Hang on.

Are you okay? I'll do it.

No.

I'm known for my delicate fingers.

I have hands like bear paws.

You have such beautiful hands.

Oh, thank you.

Come on. You can't
hurt such delicate hands.

No, you can eat. I'll do this.

- Give them to me.
- Oh, that hurt!

Oh, what is it?

Did you get pricked?

What?

Dr. Yeo.

Dr. Yeo?

- Wake up, Dr. Yeo!
- That's...

Blood...

Blood? Let's elevate your legs.

- Phobia...
- Elevate your legs!

Hemophobia.

What?

- Hemo...
- "Hemo?"

- Dr. Yeo, are you afraid of blood?
- Yes.

You have hemophobia, right?

I'm used to these types
of fear-based reactions.

Follow my words. Inhale on one.

And exhale on two.

One.

Two. Breathe out.

Sim General Hospital...

is a general hospital that
provides various tailored care...

and encompasses all stages of life
for your needs in the OBGYN clinic,

the spine and joint care center,

internal medicine, surgery, and more.

Don't move.

You have a myoma, and you need surgery.

What? Surgery?

Of course you should get surgery.
What else? Will you let it grow?

If it gets any bigger,
it might put pressure...

on the surrounding organs,
leading to complications...

What? Complications?

Explain it to her.

Yes, Doctor.

Let's see the next patient.

I'll wipe you down.

After getting surgery,
I'll need a guardian.

What should I do?

[Mom]

What is it? Make it quick.

Oh, Mom.

It's not a big deal,

but I have to get uterine myoma surgery.

I guess it's pretty big.

So it'll have to be an
open-stomach surgery.

A myoma? When is the operation date?

I'm thinking April 3.

The third?

That won't work. I have
an exhibition in Busan.

What dates don't overlap
with your exhibitions?

Let's see.

This month or next month won't work.

June would work. The second week of June...

No. Make it the third week.

That's when I have time.

June?

Mom. I have to get surgery.

Are you telling me to wait two months...

to get sick to fit your schedule?

Your surgery is your problem.

Do you want to make me the bad guy again?

I'm busy right now. Let's talk later.

Oh, gosh.

[Dad]

[March 13, 2024, March


Dad.

I'm going to get...

uterine myoma surgery.

Thinking of being alone
in my hospital room...

makes me scared.

Going to the operating room in
the wheelchair alone scares me too.

And getting general
anesthesia scares me too.

Do you think I'll be okay on my own?

I think...

I could be brave in times like this...

if you just held my hand.

Why were you in such a
rush to leave me so early?

I miss you.

[I don't want anyone else to
leave. I'm going to save everyone.]

She's a special patient, so
please take good care of her.

She must be feeling quite nervous.

You've gotten complaints
for being rude to patients.

Please take extra care this time.

Complaints?

Are we hotel staff? We're doctors.

Doctors are service workers too.

Being kind should be a given.

Please take the patient's personality...

and psychological state into consideration.

What else should I take into consideration?

Should I take into consideration
her food preferences, looks,

and the fact that she has
something going on with you?

Have I done something wrong?

You're just telling me to take
extra care because you like her.

- What?
- I didn't realize...

you started to like whiny, childish women.

She's an adult.

What is so scary about
seeing a doctor in the hospital?

Give me her chart. I'll do it.

- Pardon?
- As you said,

is it a problem for me to
personally treat someone I like?

Why aren't you leaving?

Yes?

Vice Director. Ms. Han So Jin is here.

Yes.

[OBGYN Sim Yeon Woo]

Doctor Choi Hyeon Joo
was going to do my surgery.

This is the surgery I'm
most confident about,

so let me do it, So Jin.

Oh, no.

Are you telling me you'll see
everything inside of my stomach?

You scanned all of the DNA in my body.

That's even worse.

But still...

This is different.

You trust me, right?

Take a look.

This one is a bit big,

but let's do an MRI scan
and get it done right away.

Then I'll have...

a scar from the surgery...

What's wrong with that?

If my girlfriend has a scar
from surgery, I would just think,

"That must've been so painful and tough."

I'd just feel bad.

But...

I'm glad I have you.

You'll make the scar as
faint as possible, right?

Of course. Don't worry.

- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.

It's not my birthday anymore.

- Happy birthday!
- Happy birthday!

- Let's drink.
- Let's drink.

You guys are using my birthday
as an excuse to drink, aren't you?

You're always so quick to catch on.

What did you do for
your birthday yesterday?

Yes?

It's a bit loud here.

Hurry. Spill it.

[Han So Jin]

Yes, thank you.

I'll be in touch. Thank you.

Yes, Han So Jin. What is it?

Han So Jin?

The 3rd. Just 1 day.

Can you make some time for me?

The third? I have a photoshoot that day.

I can't cancel because
it's an important sh**t.

Why? What is it?

I have to get surgery,
and I need a guardian.

It's a uterine myoma.

I have to get general anesthesia,
and it needs to be open-stomach.

What?

It's not even cancer. It's
just your everyday surgery.

You're saying the same thing as Mom.

I do have Yoo Myung Hee's genes, after all.

Do you know Professor Yoo Myung Hee?

I'm her daughter.

Not just socially. I'm her real daughter.

Han So Jin, Han So Ri.

They were sisters?

Did something bad happen?

I didn't mean to eavesdrop earlier.

It was my older sister.

Why did she get sick?

Why on the day that I can't go?

You seem quite upset.
You two must be very close.

We're not close. She's
practically a stranger.

A pitiful stranger.

She's so deprived of affection,

so she's always in other people's business.

She cares about other
people's personal lives.

Hey!

My older sister...

can't throw anything away.

That fool...

couldn't even throw away a
friend who stole money from her...

or the boyfriend who cheated on her.

She also can never throw away...

our family, who only says...

such mean things to her.

Isn't she such a fool?

So when will the surgery be?

- The 3rd.
- The 3rd?

Okay. I'll be there from the
day before, so don't worry.

A firefighter should be saving lives.

Why are you planning to
sit around at the hospital?

You know your family is busy.

From now on, I'm your guardian, okay?

It's okay.

I don't want a guardian
who is younger than me.

I'm taller than you, you know.

I'll stop by later. Okay.

You look like you're
worried about a girlfriend.

She'll get healthier after
surgery, so don't worry.

She's not as strong as you.

She can't even do ten squats.

When she got gallstone surgery before,

she needed an IV for a while
because she could barely eat.

Anyway, I'm going to head out first.

I have a practice match
before the tournament.

I'm a bit worried because
my opponent is quite strong,

but someone said they'd
come to cheer for me,

- so I need to power up.
- Who?

Jung Tam?

- Go!
- Go!

Start.

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

- You can do it!
- Let's go!

Extend your arm!

There we go! Extend it!

[A goddess in the ring, Nam Sung Mi]

Open your eyes. How will you
watch the actual tournament like that?

I can watch it. I'm just praying right now.

Sure, let's say so.

Hey! Put up your guard!

- Go!
- Let's go!

- Go!
- Knock her out!

Gosh. I guess a UFC fighter
was too tough, even for Sung Mi.

She's getting hit too much.

- Sung Mi is getting hit?
- Yes.

Put up your guard!

- Hey!
- Oh, no!

Sung Mi!

- Get up, Sung Mi!
- Get up!

Let's go, Nam Sung Mi!

Let's...

Let's go, Nam Sung Mi!

Get up, Nam Sung Mi! Get up!

Get up, Sung Mi!

- Get up!
- Get up, Sung Mi!

There we go, Sung Mi!

- There we go!
- There we go. Get up!

There we go!

You're amazing!

- Let's go, Sung Mi!
- Let's go, Sung Mi!

Focus, Sung Mi.

Let's go, Sung Mi!

Let's stop now.

Don't get up, Sung Mi!

Let's stop now!

Sung Mi. Don't get up.

Sung Mi!

Doctor.

Doctor.

What happened to your pretty eyes?

Doctor.

Doctor!

[Machundong Gym]

Are you okay?

Do you really have to do this?

Aren't you exercising to be healthy?

Why do you need to do something
that makes you hurt and bleed?

Don't you care about
those who worry about you?

Pardon?

Forget it.

It's not something I should say
to someone who doesn't care...

how other people feel.

The ring...

is where you fight with your conviction.

I want you to understand my conviction.

Who would understand
someone they like volunteering...

to get hurt? How?

Do you...

like me?

Yes, I like you.

Since I first saw you,

I've liked you.

During college, I fainted every time...

I saw blood in the anatomy room.

I faint...

every time I see blood,

so I can't even treat you.

But if you bleed so much...

I'm sorry.

You're too cute.

I couldn't help myself.

You're the cute one.

I'm sorry. Does it hurt?

- I'm okay.
- Really?

Oh, my.

- The kitchen is set.
- Okay.

- Here is your sushi.
- Hey.

Do you know that?

Couples who kiss a lot...

share approximately 8,000
germs during a single kiss.

And when their tongues...

go back and forth with each other,
that number goes over a billion.

And those like-attracts-like
germs attract each other even more.

With great force.

Kang Hoon. Why did you turn
off the TV? We were watching that.

Your face is red.

No, it's not.

Is just watching the kiss on TV...

making your body pump adrenaline, dopamine,

and the happy hormones,
serotonin and endorphins?

No.

Kang Hoon, can you... Hey.

It's So Jin.

When we insert contrast
agents, your body could get warm.

If you feel nauseous or dizzy,
please let us know right away.

So Jin.

So Jin.

Yeon Woo.

If you listen to music,
the scan will be done soon.

And if you feel uncomfortable,
just press this, okay?

I'll watch you from the video
room with the radiologist,

so don't worry.

So dreamy.

Is this how it feels to be
comforted by the healer gene?

Cherry blossoms fall at a speed...

of 5cm per second.

Don't they fall so slowly?

[Spring and Hope]

When you fall in love,

everything moves slowly.

Like how cherry blossoms fall.

You're here. I'm hungry.

I guess I'm not nervous
anymore. Let's go eat.

That's the first thing you say to me?

Did the tests go well?

Yes. They were very healing.

How can tests be healing?

They can be.

So Jin. Kang Hoon.

Hello.

Mi Eun. Hello.

What a coincidence
running into you two here.

Aren't we going? I thought you were hungry.

Right. We should go.

We'll get going first.

Okay. See you again.

Right. So Jin.

You said you were a
genetics researcher, right?

I want to get tested as well.

I was told before that I
had Meniere's syndrome.

I heard that was also genetic.

Oh, Meniere's?

Please come by sometime.

It's better to get tested
before it's too late.

[Genetics Laboratory Manager Han So Jin]

I'll give you a call.

Let's go.

Wait. Yeon Woo.

You can't eat instant food for now.
No more convenience store food.

Okay.

Make sure to eat something
nutritious for dinner.

Okay.

We'll get going, then

- Should we get some coffee?
- Sure.

Okay?

- So Jin. Let's go.
- Yes, let's go.

Make sure to eat something
nutritious for dinner.

What are you doing?
Are you going in or not?

No, I'm okay.

I can't eat instant
food for the time being.

He said it was prohibited.

Slippers.

[Packing list for surgery]

I should take some extra clothes.

[Skincare products, charger,
power strip, wet tissues]

[Incoming call, Sim General
Hospital's Sim Yeon Woo]

[Call]

Are you working late again today?

No, I'm outside.

Are you with Mi Eun?

As if I'd be with her.

What were you doing?

I'm on my way home.

Are you preparing well for the surgery?

It's going all right.

So Jin. Can you go somewhere with me?

Right now?

Where are you?

I think I need to see you today.

I have something for you.

- Hey.
- Hello.

Why did you suddenly want to come here?

You said...

we all need space to breathe sometimes.

I plan to come here
sometimes for some healing.

It's a pretty cost-effective
healing spot, isn't it?

Yes.

But right now,

I think you need it more.

Patients...

tend to get quite weak before surgery.

It's unknown to them,
so they feel anxious...

and need someone to lean on.

You're not alone, So Jin.

Before the surgery,

on the way to the operating room,

and in the operating room,

I'll be by your side.

- Oh, I got you this.
- What's that?

This is cinnamon tea.

I got it from a famous place.

Cinnamon boosts blood circulation...

and warms you up,

and it also reduces inflammation.

You must drink it all. Don't
leave a single drop, okay?

- I will.
- And this.

Read it when you feel bored.

And these. To keep your
stomach warm post-surgery.

- Stick them on your clothes.
- Thanks.

A power strip.

With an extra long cord.
You'll be on your phone all night.

And these. Organic slippers.

It's not just any kind of silicone.

This bear's smile. It looks pretty unusual.

Slippers.

We must be telepathic.

How come you brought everything I needed?

You're better than my own family.

They don't even care if
I'm having an operation.

They may seem so,

but I'm sure they're all worried.

I don't think so. Not my family.

They're all so very odd.

Your family might be different.

Now that I think about it,

I never heard you talk about your family.

It gets pretty cold at night.

Shall we get going?

Okay.

Don't worry too much about the surgery.

Let's get through it well.

Sorry. We're closing for the day.

I won't stay long.

Can I have a sake?

Do you usually close on your own?

Sometimes my father stays until closing.

I see.

You have a full-time job,

and you help your father when you're free.

You live and work pretty hard, Mr. Seo.

That's what everyone does.

Can I ask you something?

What is Ms. Han So Jin like?

Why do you ask?

I got curious.

She's a good person.

Is that it?

What answer were you hoping for?

Everything.

Everything about So Jin.

She often acts like a fool.

She cares too much for others...

and gets taken advantage of.

But she's sweet and kindhearted.

So I want to protect her even more.

Sorry for disturbing your closing routine.

- How much do I owe you?
- It's on me. Goodnight.

Thank you.

Oh, right.

"You love not just with your
heart but with your limbs too."

"It's not beautiful to just
cherish it in your heart."

What does that mean?

It means you won't get anywhere
by sitting down and waiting.

The quotes are from the
third chapter of my book.

You said you didn't need a copy.

Call me anytime if you
think you do need one.

So Jin. These are white
kimchi and perilla leaves.

Okay.

So Jin.

I'll put the shine muscat grapes
and strawberries on the fruit shelf.

Eat them after you pass gas.

Okay.

Don't you have to go to work?

I'm off today.

I'll spend the night here.

Don't you get an enema today
before tomorrow's surgery?

An enema?

Why would you worry about that?

When is it? Where's the medicine?

Can't you go outside for a while?

I'm not going anywhere.

Is this high enough?

Oh, I need you to do something.

- What?
- Tie my hair for me.

- What?
- I'll be lying flat,

so my hair must be tied up here.

Your hands work just
fine. Tie your own hair.

I would, but because of the drip,
it hurts too much if I lift my arm.

Come on. Tie it up.

This is my first time.

- Make me look pretty.
- I can't guarantee the outcome.

How do I tie it? Where?

- Grab the top half.
- The top half?

- Like this?
- Yes. Hold it up at the back.

- The top half of my hair.
- It's my first time. It might flop.

- Okay, grab some hair.
- Like this?

There. That looks awesome.

Kang Hoon's your guardian?

- Hey.
- Yeon Woo.

Take good care of her for me.

I found a good carer
who will come and help.

No, it's fine. I'll look after her.

You have to work.

I told So Ri to cancel her plans and come.

We'll take turns staying.

So Ri's coming?

Who is So Ri?

My younger sister.

Your sister, a real legal guardian.

How long will you stick around?

You have to stay until
I'm wheeled into surgery.

- Promise.
- Isn't that a given?

Yeon Woo, she'll take a
short walk before the enema.

- Okay.
- Hey, you...

If you'll keep saying that word, get lost.

Why do you keep asking
your guardian to leave?

I'll go, then.

- Okay.
- Bye.

You did a great job tying your hair.

- Why do you keep saying that?
- Why not?

There are some words you just can't say.

- What? It's just...
- It's so embarrassing.

These plants have vibrant stripes.

Would you like to see this side?

This is where we keep
the more unique plants.

This plant here cleans the air.

This is called a grass tree.

It's an odd plant...

that blooms when there's a fire.

I like it.

Okay. Will you take it yourself?

I'll give you my address.
Have it delivered to me.

I will.

If you tell us your address
and the delivery date you prefer,

I'll schedule it for you.

- Good job, Father.
- Thank you all.

- Well done.
- Great job.

Haven't we gotten better?

You have gotten much better.

- Thanks.
- We did great today.

- I was surprised.
- Me too.

- You're the best.
- I look forward to next week.

We owe it to our handsome Father.

Don't!

Stop it!

Don't!

Stop it!

No!

Don't!

Don't come in. Leave me alone.

- Don't come in!
- Sister Anna.

Sister Anna.

Sister Anna. Why are you in there?

Father.

Why are you...

I wanted to thank you
for the minari gimbap.

I looked for you and ended up here.

Come on out.

I can't.

I can't go outside.

I shouldn't be outside.

Then don't come outside.

I'll come to where you are.

Hey, Sung Mi.

There's a fire. Fourth-floor office
by Younghwa Market's entrance.

The buildings are too close,
and the fire's about to spread.

We need you here.

Okay. I'll be right there.

So Ri.

You must come.

Come and see your sister
before the surgery, okay?

[Han So Jin, 31F, Gynecology,
Doctor: Sim Yeon Woo]

So Jin, I'm really sorry.

I was called to an emergency.

I'll be there when you wake
up from anesthesia. Don't worry.

Be who you are. Strong.

- Ms. Han So Jin?
- Yes.

Shall we go?

Where's your guardian?

I don't have one.

[Operating Room, Restricted Area]

[Operating Room, Restricted Area]

Han So Jin. State your date of birth.

October 5, 1992.

The doctor doing my
surgery is Sim Yeon Woo.

He's helping...

a car accident victim give birth.

I'll ask how things are going. Please wait.

Check oxygen saturation.

The patient is bleeding
internally and has placenta previa.

It will take a while.

If you wait a bit...

I can't wait. I have
another surgery scheduled.

Call Dr. Sim's OR and say I'll begin.

Get the consent form.

When the scheduled doctor can't operate,

another doctor can take over.

Ms. Han. Sign the form.

[Han So Jin]

Anesthetize her.

Anesthetic going in.

You're not alone, So Jin.

Before the surgery,

on the way to the operating room,

and in the operating room,

I'll be by your side.

I'm confident. Are you
confident too, So Jin?

I must be hearing things now.

Let's begin.

I'm late. I'm sorry about that.

Yeon Woo.

I'll put you under. Don't worry.

Where do you want to visit the most?

Where I want to visit?

Think of the happiest time in your life.

I don't have such a thing.

Then imagine a time you'd love to cherish.

I don't have one.

So Jin.

DNA is destiny you can't escape.

Everything was meant to be.

You were wrong, Dad.

You shouldn't have died.

Happy times were in our future too.

If the surgery went well,
why can't she wake up?

Ms. Han.

You must sit up, cough
up some phlegm, and walk.

Your lungs might shut down.

I'll finish my round and come back.

Check on her. Try to wake her up,

and make her sit up if possible.

I'll be going.

Han So Jin. Wake up.

Hey.

Kang Hoon.

I have a sh**t scheduled, and I need to go.

So Jin seemed to come around in recovery,

but she can't wake up now.

- Okay.
- I'll get a carer before I go.

No, I'll be right there.

Why won't the fever come down?

It's a bit too high.

The reason Mom...

didn't put her hand on my
forehead whenever I was ill...

was because of something
called "inframince."

Even if she put her hand on me,

because of the thin barrier
between the heat and cold,

nothing would change, she said.

But...

Are you okay?

The cold from him...

connected to the heat in me.

Sim General Hospital...

is a general hospital that
provides various tailored care...

and encompasses all stages of life
for your needs in the OBGYN clinic,

the spine and joint care center,

internal medicine, surgery, and more.

Okay.

It feels like it'll come out.

You seem to be just fine.

I think you can eat now.
Shall we start with porridge?

Your fever's gone.

And the gas made an exit. It's good.

What kind of doctor spends
so much time with a patient?

That's my job, and
you're a special patient.

I'm done for.

I'm always embarrassing
myself in front of the guy I like.

It's fine. I think it's cute.

Plus, it's a good sign that
means you're getting better.

- It's a good thing.
- Whatever.

Is that the kind of man you think I am?

The kind that would be disgusted...

because his crush was like this?

No, I didn't think of you like that, but...

But this is a bit... I don't know.

I bet you don't know...

how worried I was...

that I'd miss your surgery.

Just how desperate I felt as I ran over.

That's why I'm overjoyed...

just to see you awake.

So don't worry about all that...

Was I possessed by something?

Or was my mind still
foggy with the anesthetic?

I didn't know why,

but I just wanted to do it.

As my heart dictated.

[DNA Lover]

When you fall for someone,

timing becomes cruel.

Your going home present.

Was it a present from Yeon Woo?

Yeon Woo likes that brand.

How does it feel to
care for just one person?

Who said I care for just one person?

- Who was that?
- We never met.

It can't be remodeled,

but it can be improved.

Did it get in your eyes?

Yeon Woo's swimming like a little boy.

I came to give Yeon Woo some abalone.

See you again soon.

- Mi Eun, I have to go.
- Yeon Woo.

If I start to like you now,

would that be the worst timing?
