[DNA Lover]

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

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

- I'll do it. - No, So Jin.

Where do you keep your paper shopping bags?

- They're in the drawer. Hang on. - No, I'll do it.

Can you just bring me a plastic bag?

Okay.

I thought you might need some newspaper too.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

I'm sorry. It was a gift from you.

What?

This plant. Didn't you send it to me?

[Dear Han So Jin, Seo Kang Hoon]

Oh, right.

I did send this,

but it wasn't what I had ordered. They sent something else.

They must've made a mistake.

- Is that so? - I'll go and check...

at the flower shop tomorrow.

It's fine.

Be careful. You might get hurt.

- I'll be going now. - Okay.

Kang Hoon.

Could you...

give me a little more time?

Okay.

Give me your answer when I'm the only one in your heart,

not Yeon Woo.

Okay, I will.

Thanks.

- I'll be going. - Okay. Bye.

[Seo Kang Hoon]

I wanted to prove my love...

with my DNA Lover Theory.

I'm worried that was the last time with you in my life...

and that I may have let that slip away.

I think I made the wrong choice.

Can you please...

give me another chance?

And there is a man who proves his love...

by protecting someone.

When the one you love looks at another,

many people tend to give up.

However, can giving up become love?

I'll wait for you just one more time.

And you should go to So Jin now...

to tell her how you truly feel.

But if things don't work out again this time, come to me.

I prove my love...

by not giving up.

Love.

I've never once believed in it in my entire life,

and I never knew what that could be like.

If love is when my senses go wild,

I never loved Kang Hoon as a man.

But I've discovered that what I believed to be love until now...

was all wrong.

I must prove it now.

[Episode 14: Proof of Love]

[As the streetlamp repair was delayed, I installed LED lights.]

[I'll take them down once the repair is complete. Seo Kang Hoon]

Why do people keep showing up and getting in the way?

You were very lucky today as well, weren't you?

Darn it.

Mom.

I'll pay them back for you,

so make sure you watch from where you are.

You'll be smiling in no time.

[Jeongin Fire Station]

So,

there was sodium and fuel inside the plant?

Yes.

When alkali metals come into contact with water, they explode.

Sung Mi, back up.

Be careful.

If the person who received the plant waters it,

it would explode like that.

Then, the expl*si*n would lead to a fire.

And this fuel...

would feed into that fire.

So, who sent this plant?

I should look into it from now on.

[Grass tree]

[Grass tree, Teo's Flowers]

[Grass tree, Teo's Flowers]

[Grass tree, Teo's Flowers]

[Grass tree, Teo's Flowers]

[Grass tree, Teo's Flowers]

"Teo's Flowers?"

[Teo's Flowers]

- Welcome. - Hello.

Are you looking for something?

Oh, yes.

Was there someone who ordered a plant like this yesterday?

Oh, do you know the grass tree?

One moment.

It's here.

This is a grass tree.

But there hasn't been anyone who bought one of these in two weeks.

How many other flower shops in this area...

sell this plant as well?

I'm not sure about that,

but it's a rare species, so I'm sure not many places carry it.

The grass tree is an imported plant from Australia,

so it doesn't grow naturally in Korea either.

Could you tell me who supplies you this plant?

Oh, sure.

We had a hard time finding this plantation too.

Oh, okay.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

[Eden Plantation]

[Teo's Flowers]

What's this?

Open it.

[Mini Fireman]

They're fire extinguishers.

I'll teach you how to use it. Carry it around with you.

When a fire breaks out, your window of opportunity is only a minute.

If you can't put it out in a minute, it'll become a big fire.

Keep that in mind.

Hold this, peel off the wick,

and spray it on the fire. Easy, right?

Here.

But why, all of a sudden...

Is it weird that I'm telling you to carry around...

a self-defence fire extinguisher?

No, but your face looks like the whole weather service combined.

There's a typhoon brewing and lightning striking over your face.

What is it? Tell me.

Listen carefully, So Jin.

I'm worried...

because there have been lots of arson reports at the station lately.

You never know. You should be prepared too.

Also, I can't be there to protect you 24-7.

Come on. You're going overboard again.

Also, there's something important here, So Jin.

Here.

And what are these?

I'll explain them to you.

This is a taser.

Turn it on,

and that's it. Easy, right?

- Try it. - You want me to try this?

Just try it.

There you go. Hold it down for longer. Good.

I'll explain this one too.

This is an extendable baton. You've seen these before, right?

All you have to do is swing it.

When you retract it,

you go like this. Easy, right?

Here.

Hey, why are you doing this? You're scaring me.

I just mean no harm will come from being cautious.

Are you curious about anything else? Should I show this again?

- Watch closely. - No.

Oh, by the way,

did you call and ask about the plant that was delivered to me by mistake?

Oh, they said they made a mistake.

- Is that so? - Yes.

What were you going to send me in the first place?

Well, I'll send you that tomorrow.

There are so many plants that are disrupting the ecosystem...

along the stream.

But don't be surprised.

This isn't good.

Hey, didn't the promo video for our volunteer team...

turn out great?

Let me see.

It's a horrible sight.

Sim Yeon Woo, did you wear granny work pants?

They look awesome on you.

- It was cute. - Yes.

Hey, why do you keep drinking so fast by yourself?

The drinks taste good today.

It looked like it was going well between you and Ms. Han at Mua-ri.

Why? Are things not working out again?

Gosh, I think I ought to step in again. This won't do.

I think you two make such a great couple...

Have some of this.

Vice Director, I'll take good care of you until the end today.

- Drink as much as you want. - Thanks.

Have some food too.

- Oh, I like kiwis, though. - Kiwis.

Anyway, you all worked hard today, everyone.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - Let's go.

Vice Director, you usually pace yourself well when you drink.

But you're drinking quite a lot today.

I know.

I'll get going first.

- I will... - Hey.

- Should I go... - It's fine.

- I was going to take care of... - It's fine.

He hates showing people how he is when he's drunk.

Sir, we've arrived.

Where are we?

I drove to the address you gave me earlier.

I asked to come here?

Yes.

Cheongdam-dong... I mean...

What?

Hang on.

Let's go now.

What?

What do you think of me?

Come on. Seriously.

That hurts.

Stop it. Seriously.

You're due soon. Take care of yourself until you give birth.

I'll see you next week.

- Thank you. - Get home safely.

Please come this way.

Let's hold hands.

I want to do so.

We can't communicate telepathically.

How did you find me?

Are you okay?

But I've discovered that what I believed to be love until now...

was all wrong.

So, I think this might be what real love is.

So Jin, I...

If you really love So Jin, let her go. That's love too.

[Seoul Fire Services]

Jung Tam!

What brings you here without calling ahead?

Sung Mi, do you want to go eat macarons?

Oh, okay.

- Have some. - Okay.

This macaron place...

was the place where we first communicated telepathically.

Because you weren't coming to the gym,

I sent you a message via telepathy as if I was praying.

- Dr. Yeo! - Sung Mi!

Then, I ran into you again here by chance.

Really?

Someone said that if you can communicate via telepathy,

you're each other's DNA lover.

- DNA lover? - Yes.

Oh, DNA lovers are fated from the moment you're born.

I don't know about fate,

but I don't think I'll ever meet...

another man who cherishes me so much...

like you do.

So, Sung Mi.

Yes?

I'm unable to have kids.

Pardon?

Well...

I'm sterile.

What...

Sterile...

You're sterile?

Well...

I don't know about anything else,

but as you said before,

I can love you and only you for the rest of my life.

Wouldn't that be enough?

Oh, these days,

there are many people who live a happy life as just a couple.

Or...

some people raise pets as if they're children...

Well...

I think I'm going to need...

some time to think, Jung Tam.

- Right... - Excuse me.

So, when...

When you're done thinking, you'll call me, right?

How can you be so one-sided?

You confessed to her that you still loved her even after breaking up?

That's no different from what a stalker would do.

Breakups must be safe.

Please don't torment the woman you once loved.

So you should've cared more while they were still with you.

Having lingering feelings...

isn't just bad for you. It can also be hurtful...

to the other person.

You should spend that time investing in yourself instead.

She's right. There's no need to beg for love...

from someone who no longer loves you.

There's a saying, "Know when your time is up."

I think now is the time to face that ending.

It takes courage to accept a breakup.

If you could stop things as you want,

things would be so easy.

Hi, my daughter.

Did you have a good time in Sokcho?

Yes, Mom.

Should we eat together?

I'm eating mandu soup a lot these days.

I didn't know you liked mandu soup too.

I don't,

but my husband and daughter used to be mandu soup lovers.

I would only drink water.

Oh, do you mean So Jin?

Do you know So Jin?

I met her through Yeon Woo.

A while ago, I whined to you...

about something related to Yeon Woo.

About how Yeon Woo liked someone other than me.

Do you love him?

I know I shouldn't,

but I want him.

That's my daughter.

Whether you take him or throw him away, you choose.

So that woman is So Jin?

Are they dating?

They've broken up.

I see.

Why did they break up?

Well...

They feel very different.

Yeon Woo is very independent.

When he encounters a problem while dating,

he tends to avoid the relationship.

On the other hand, So Jin is dependent on her relationships.

It's as if she needed more affection.

She gets very worried and anxious.

Yeon Woo must've been attracted to So Jin...

because she was strange, right?

Maybe he mistook strangeness for something unique.

Mom. It must be hard to forget...

a strange boyfriend or girlfriend, right?

It's not because someone's strange.

It's hard to forget someone when you like them a lot.

Right.

[Sim General Hospital]

Yes, Auntie.

I bought the ticket this morning.

Yes.

Me, another doctor,

and a nurse will be there, so don't worry too much.

Yes.

Okay.

The US?

Yes. Well...

Things just turned out that way.

I think it would be best for my mom too.

I see.

If so, you could go for about a year.

You don't need to quit your job at the hospital, Yeon Woo.

I want you...

to run the hospital, Mr. Park.

You were with us since we first opened this hospital.

Please do this for me.

Oh, my.

Yeon Woo. I just heard from Section Chief Park...

that you were quitting.

I guess it makes it easy to have you all here together.

Section Chief Park of the paediatric unit...

will be the hospital director.

Doctor Sim.

Thank you for everything.

There are so many expecting moms...

who want you to deliver their babies after hearing about Ms. Yoo Young A.

I'm sure Mr. Park will hire someone even better than me.

Have you already decided which hospital you'll go to?

You said you had a school friend...

who was very successful in opening a hospital in the US.

Are you going to that hospital?

If so, when will you come back to Korea?

I'm so excited about handing in my resignation right now,

so I'm going to think about when to come back later.

Anyway, we can talk more later.

We should get ready for our afternoon appointments.

Okay. Let's go.

You could've at least discussed it with me.

How can I discuss it with someone hurting from love?

Who is going to give me dating advice now?

I have the perfect person.

A columnist named Jang Mi Eun.

I'll introduce you to her before I go.

Take me with you.

Dating in Korea is too tough for DINKs like me.

You're going to cry every day because you miss Sung Mi.

I'm tearing up again.

Come on. Don't be like that.

I'm not going to cry, you cold, ruthless person.

Did you tell Kang Hoon?

No, net yet. I should soon.

All right.

[Seoul Fire Services]

[Yeon Woo]

Hey, Yeon Woo.

I'm in front of the fire station. Can we meet for a second?

You're in front of the fire station?

Mi Eun.

If you have time today, do you want to have dinner together?

[Jang Mi Eun]

How about the restaurant in Namsan Observatory?

It's where we first met.

Do you remember?

Yeon Woo.

Kang Hoon.

I'm going to the US.

What? The US?

For how long?

I don't know yet.

Come to the restaurant later. Let's have a drink.

I appreciate the thought, but I'm a bit busy.

I have to hand over my work because I'm leaving so soon.

Yeon Woo.

Tell your father hi for me.

Be happy and healthy.

And...

So Jin...

Take good care of her.

Yeon Woo. Did you...

get some sort of flowerpot?

A flowerpot?

About your mother.

The real culprit may be someone else.

- What? - I'll let you know when I'm sure.

It's always like this.

When I like someone, they always leave me.

Seriously.

You don't seem to have...

the best luck with dating.

I heard people like that are destined to be single forever.

Take that back now.

I'm just worried, that's all.

Doctor Yeo Jung Tam. What do you think about him?

Try and see what happens.

Yeo Jung Tam?

You go after Jung Tam.

I'm not interested in Doctor Yeo either.

I miss him.

Going to the US isn't a big deal.

If you miss him, you can go and see him.

If you save time on sleep,

you can go to the US even over a weekend.

We live in a modern world.

That's true.

Right?

Yeon Woo.

The traffic was bad, wasn't it?

A bit.

Did you wait for long?

A bit.

This reminds me of that day.

That day?

[4 years ago]

- How many of you are there? - One.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Can I sit?

Go ahead.

I saw you at the aquarium.

Nice to meet you. I'm Jang Mi Eun.

I'm Sim Yeon Woo.

Coming here really brings back old memories.

Why did you suddenly ask to see me here?

Is something wrong?

I'm going to quit my job at the hospital...

and leave Korea.

- What? - I'm going to go to the US.

Suddenly? Why?

I want to take this chance to cool my head.

I thought a lot...

about what you said the other day.

And...

I went to So Jin...

and asked her to start over.

But I was rejected.

She was so stern.

If the guy by her side wasn't Kang Hoon,

I would've continued to try.

But...

why?

I've concluded...

that giving up is the way for me to prove my love.

Giving up?

If me going away...

can make So Jin happy,

I'll do so.

How about you?

Will you be okay?

Let's go together.

- What? - I want to go with you.

- Mi Eun. - I love you.

I prove my love by not giving up.

Until you start yelling because you're tired of me,

I'm going to stay by your side.

That's the only way I can give up on you. How else could I?

You shook up my philosophy on relationships...

and changed my life.

Won't you give me a chance?

- No. - What about understanding?

I don't want to see someone get hurt because of me ever again.

I...

I'm already hurting.

I want to see you for a long time.

You're the only person...

and friend who understands me.

That really hurts.

I finally said it.

Mi Eun.

Use this.

Kang Hoon.

Why do you always show up wherever I am?

Why?

Do you know that your house is on my way home from work?

Is something wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

You can go.

I'll take you home.

Do as you want.

That's alcohol dependence. That'll turn into an addiction.

Do you know how many times I've seen you drunk?

If you knew how much an appropriate amount of alcohol...

contributed to the progress of art and science,

you'll be so surprised.

Oh, it stopped raining.

Oh, it did.

- Do you want another drink? - Yes.

See?

You're addicted to alcohol. Art and science, my foot.

What? Were you teasing me just now?

I don't know if you're an addict or if you're just weak.

So Jin.

So Jin. It's me, Kang Hoon.

Are you okay?

Oh, gosh.

You dummy.

It does no good to just hold the stick like this.

Look, So Jin.

You're walking down the street,

and suddenly, you feel someone's gaze on you.

Then you whip out the stick right away.

If he's really there before you,

you say, "You punk."

No. I'm supposed to be you.

"You punk. I'm going to break every bone in your body."

"Unless you have a death wish, get out of my face!"

Say that. Okay?

If he still doesn't leave,

then right away...

Bam!

Bam!

- Okay? - Okay.

You really scared me.

Sorry. Here.

- Let's go. - Okay.

What do you do?

- Bam. - There you go. And then?

There you go. Like this.

Like this?

There you go.

- Take this! - Hey. Stop it.

How interesting.

[Poems by Choi Moon Ja]

[Han So Jin]

[Han So Jin]

Kang Hoon.

I'm going to the US.

Kang Hoon.

Seo Kang Hoon?

Yes?

Do you know how many times I called you?

What got you thinking so hard?

Is something worrying you?

No. Let me grab more side dishes for you.

He's acting strange.

[Obstetrics and Gynaecology]

Gosh, Dr. Sim.

This is your last round.

It's not like the world is over.

I'll do my best on the last round too.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Okay.

Was it in 2012?

Psalms 78.

"They would not be like their ancestors,"

"a stubborn and rebellious generation,"

"whose hearts were not loyal to God,"

"whose spirits..."

"were not faithful to him."

Father?

Is that Father Andrea?

He came by a couple of days ago to check on Haeng Un's adoption.

How can he be so kind? He's handsome too.

"The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,"

"turned back on the day of battle."

[Iroun Genetic Center]

BK, do you have something to say to me?

I know Yeon Woo well,

and he won't be back in Korea for the next 20 years at the least.

What?

What are you talking about?

You should say your goodbyes.

Wouldn't it be better to say bye properly?

"Goodbyes?"

Yeon Woo is leaving for the US today.

I think he plans to stay there for a while.

[Sim Yeon Woo]

Yes?

Hey.

Hey. What brought you here at this hour?

I dropped by while passing here.

I see.

Do you want something to drink?

I'm okay. Were you packing?

Yes.

I don't have much time now.

- Take a seat. - Okay.

Well?

You must be here for a reason.

Do you have something to say?

What is it?

I know you're leaving soon,

so I thought long and hard if I should tell you this or not.

But I thought I should tell you.

Is it related...

to So Jin?

You could say that.

A few days ago,

a plant was delivered to her place.

I found an inflammable in it.

What?

Luckily, we found it,

but it could have been dangerous for her.

Who sent the plant?

I'm looking into it,

but I don't know.

On top of that, they wrote my name as the sender.

The issue was,

that wasn't the first time such an incident happened.

I have a feeling...

your parents' incident and So Jin's incident...

might be connected.

What do you mean?

If my hunch is right,

the culprit is a meticulous planner.

Why would they do such a thing if not because of a grudge?

That's what I can't figure out.

Does anything pop into your mind?

Come in.

Dr. Sim,

someone sent you a plant.

Hold on.

Who sent this over?

The delivery man already left.

It's okay.

What's so wrong with a goodbye?

Hello, director. Are you at the orphanage now?

Would it be okay for me to visit you in an hour?

All right. Okay.

[Doctor's Office]

No, So Jin.

You broke up ages ago.

I'd be overstepping. I should stop.

Gosh. Jung Tam.

Long time no see.

Are you here to see Yeon Woo?

He left a while ago.

I see. Is that so?

Okay, then.

So Jin.

Well,

I know this might sound out of line,

but I've known Yeon Woo for a long time...

and saw him date countless women.

But this has never happened before.

What do you mean?

For example, leaving all of a sudden.

I see.

I think you were that special to him.

He's acting cool on the outside,

but I guess it's tough on him.

He's acting out of character.

I better go.

Take care.

Right. So Jin.

Please don't ever tell Yeon Woo I said such a thing.

- You're filthy and disgusting! - How can you say that to your Mom?

I'm going to go see him right now...

and tell him to get out of our lives!

- What? No, you can't. - Let go.

- I said, no! - Let go!

Could you tell me who supplies you this plant?

We had a hard time finding this plantation too.

[Eden Plantation]

[Eden Plantation]

Grass trees...

[Sodium metal in kerosene]

[Sodium metal in kerosene]

[Holy Bible]

[Haeoreum Catholic Church]

That's...

[Haeoreum Catholic Church]

"Andrea."

[Heo Ga Hee, Sim Sung Hoon, Yeom Jang Mi]

[Sim Yeon Woo, Han So Jin]

[Seo Kang Hoon]

Han So Jin...

The person you have reached is unavailable.

Why won't she pick up?

[Tree Orphanage]

Your sudden visit surprised me.

I'm sorry to show up out of the blue.

I didn't have much time to spare.

It's about Father Andrea whom I met last time.

Can you tell me when he started going to Sim General Hospital?

I see him more frequently these days.

Andrea?

I'm not sure.

Except for funeral masses,

I haven't seen him participate in anything else.

Also, here's what you requested.

These are the documents from when Andrea was admitted.

Thank you.

[Child Record]

Who are these two children?

Oh, her?

She's Andrea's twin sister.

[Mother, deceased]

We met 20 years ago.

Do you remember it?

I'm a priest.

The day I became a priest,

I erased all of the things I had experienced in the world.

Father?

He came by a couple of days ago to check on Haeng Un's adoption.

Haeng Un was adopted to a good place.

Haeng Un?

She's Andrea's twin sister.

She got adopted as soon as she was admitted here.

I thought she'd have a good life,

but when her adoptive parents gave her up,

she set their house on fire.

Ever since then, she committed serial arson.

Where is she right now?

I mean, Andrea's twin.

- Father. - You're back.

Hey, what is it?

Gosh...

Father.

Where did you get this plant from?

A customer gave it to me as a gift.

- When? - Just now.

Excuse me!

[Always Sushi]

[Andrea]

[Haeoreum Catholic Church]

Haeoreum Catholic Church.

"Just as the Father knows me..."

"and I know the Father,"

"and I lay down my life for the sheep."

"I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen."

"I must bring them also."

"They too will listen to my voice,"

"and there shall be one flock..."

Father Andrea's mass is at 7pm.

[Haeoreum Catholic Church]

[7:25pm]

I saw him a bit after seven in front of our restaurant.

"No one takes it from me..."

But the mass started at 7pm.

"But I lay it down of my own accord."

- "Jews who heard these words..." - Excuse me.

"were again divided."

I came in a little late, so I'm asking.

Did the mass start on time?

No. The priest had a personal affair to take care of.

It just started.

I see. Thank you.

"Only to take it up again."

"I have authority to lay it down..."

"and authority to take it up again."

"This is the command I received..."

"from my Father.”

Who are you?

Can I help you?

Kang Hoon, what brought you here?

Enough with the act. Just answer my question.

I said, who are you?

What are you scheming?

What are you talking about?

Why did you just leave...

that grass tree plant at our restaurant?

Why? To harm my father?

Or me?

Kang Hoon, what's wrong with you?

I went to the greenhouse where the grass trees...

behind all the fire accidents were grown.

And there, I found his bible.

There were pictures of the people he's k*lled so far,

and the people he was planning to k*ll soon.

I'm not sure what's going on,

but please calm down.

It sounds like a misunderstanding.

Father Andrea was with me all day long.

He wasn't feeling well,

so the mass started late.

All that aside,

why would he scheme such a thing?

That's what I mean. He should have the answer to that.

What is it that you want?

Why are you circling around us and k*lling people?

Why are the lights off?

What is this?

It looks like someone broke them.

Mom.

I'll pay them back for you,

so make sure you watch from where you are.

You'll be smiling in no time.

Father Andrea, are you all right?

- What's wrong? - We must stop it.

If we don't,

there will be another fire,

and someone else will die.

[Tree Orphanage]

[Han So Jin]

[I'm in front of your work. Let's meet for a minute.]

I'm not a thief.

You're the thief. You stole my happiness.

I'll steal everything of yours so that you're left with nothing.

Han So Jin.

[DNA Lover]

If you want to save her, come alone.

Meet me where we met for the first time.

"Where we met for the first time?"

There's no time.

A fire will start soon.

So Jin!

I'll put everything back in place.

Let's get out of here alive.
