Are you all right?
Let's head inside.
(Episode 13)
I know!
That's right.
Ms. Oh!
Mi Ka, you're here.
I see Mr. Arrogant is here too.
What's going on?
Thank you for coming.
My gosh.
Did the news bring you tears?
Of course, it did.
I really thought something had happened to you.
I'm sorry for alarming you.
Still Mi Ka,
this isn't some old woman's game.
Today...
really is my funeral.
I've been thinking about it for a while now.
Instead of a funeral where...
people cry to grieve my loss,
I wanted to say what I didn't get to...
and see the people I miss.
That's the kind of funeral I wanted...
for myself.
So don't be upset about me not having...
a funeral when I actually die...
and talk and laugh with me while you're here.
All right?
You should've explained this first if that was the case.
Why would you alarm us like this?
If I had just invited people over,
would all these busy people have come?
You, Mr. Arrogant, only came because you thought I had died.
Since you're here, don't think about leaving soon.
Eat the food and enjoy the party.
All right? Good.
My gosh, how did this happen?
I should greet my friend.
Oh no...
My gosh.
Ok Bun, it's been a while.
You...
President Lee canceled the theater.
Couldn't you have come to an agreement with him?
Why make it go this far?
You told the actors you'll make the show work,
so what are you going to do?
How could you be reading the script right now?
Gosh! Why are they all so selfish?
You should go home for today.
He hasn't said a word since a while ago...
which means he's frustrated too.
This is unbelievable!
It's late. Let me take you home.
If being with me is awkward for you,
I'll call you a cab.
I'm going to stay some more, so you should go first.
I honestly can't believe you.
So Nyeo's always been the weird one.
How did you think of holding a funeral...
when you're still alive and kicking?
Thanks to you we all got together like this.
Thanks, So Nyeo.
So Nyeo... It's so nice to hear my name.
Even since I got old, no one calls me by it.
Being with you guys today...
reminds me of our time in school and I couldn't be happier.
I know. I still remember...
French skipping to rhymes after school...
as if it were yesterday.
When did all this time pass?
Thank you all for coming.
You the most, Ok Bun.
I thought you wouldn't come.
You stupid girl.
You text me in 20 years...
to say that you're dead when you're alive.
Are you still mad at me?
I'm sorry, my friend.
I shouldn't have spoken ill of your husband...
and told you to get a divorce.
Back then,
I thought I was helping you.
Come to think of it now though, I guess...
I was jealous of you.
I said mean things because I envied you.
Why would you ever envy me?
If you thought the argument was nothing big,
you should've called first.
You know how petty I get,
but still, you didn't reach out for 20 years.
I always thought about calling...
to apologize,
but before I knew it,
20 years had passed.
I'm sorry, my friend. I'm so sorry.
Have you any idea how much I missed you?
We were best friends but were on the outs for 20 years.
I didn't get to say how much I missed you...
and how sorry I was.
I thought you had died before me.
I ran over here clutching my heart in my chest!
Call me every day from now on.
Promise me you'll call to make up for 20 years.
Then I'll forgive you.
Okay, fine.
I'll call you every day.
We'll stick together until we get sick of each other.
Goodness.
This isn't a family reunion, so cut the sappy tears.
Let's have a drink. Raise your glasses.
It's not easy for us to gather like this,
so we'll enjoy today like there's no tomorrow.
Why don't I kick it off with a song?
Why would you be the first one to sing a tune?
The lady of the event should go first.
- That's you. - She's right, you know.
- Sing a song, sing a song. - Sing a song!
- Sing a song! - Shall I then?
- Of course. - Should I go first?
- 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
I like you, I like you, I like you, my love
As long as the sun is in the sky, I will like you
I love you, I love you, I love you, Mi Ka
Even if anyone else says otherwise
I will still say I love you
I can't live without you
I can't live by myself
I can't live away from you
I can't live if you go away
I can't live without you
I can't live by myself
I had a great time talking, laughing,
and saying those on my mind.
I couldn't feel more refreshing.
I wouldn't be upset to die tomorrow.
You startled me once, so don't do it again.
This is what you get for alarming me.
You'll stay healthy and live forever.
If you don't, I'll get mad at you.
Gosh, you're scary when you get angry,
so I should stay healthy and live for as long as I can.
So did you...
talk to that man of yours?
- What? - You broke up with him.
Hasn't it been a while since you saw him?
You should've enjoyed his company.
It hasn't been that long.
We cross paths at work.
Mi Ka.
Yes?
Is it because you're scared?
Scared of what?
The look in your eyes say that you obviously like him,
but you still ended the relationship.
Is it because you're scared that you might steal away...
all his time?
What?
Did you think you were the only one?
Ms. Oh.
(65 days, 8 hours, 12 minutes, 38 seconds)
(65 days, 8 hours, 12 minutes, 37 seconds)
(65 days, 8 hours, 12 minutes, 36 seconds)
(65 days, 8 hours, 12 minutes, 35 seconds)
I...
recognized you quickly.
At first,
I thought it was strange...
to see you in sunglasses all the time...
whenever you came to work part-time at the hospital.
Your son didn't call you?
He will one day.
He's too busy to call me.
That's not an excuse.
He will one day.
How do you feel?
Doctor Park said your surgery went successfully.
It's nice.
I feel much healthier than before.
I might be able to run outside soon at this rate.
Mi Ka, can you raise my bed a little?
Here, be careful.
Gosh, I feel suffocated.
(5 days, 12 minutes)
It's killing me.
(5 days, 12 minutes)
(5 days, 12 minutes, 6 seconds)
(5 days, 12 minutes, 5 seconds)
(5 days, 12 minutes, 4 seconds)
I noticed it...
when I saw you at Young Mi's ward.
Give me your phone.
My phone?
Why do you need it all of a sudden?
Give it to me.
(Son)
You're Kim Young Mi's guardian, right?
She's in a critical condition, so come to the hospital right now.
Did you just call my son?
He'll come soon.
I'm not in a critical condition though.
He must be surprised.
Why did you have to do it?
I needed to do it to make him show his face to you.
You did your surgery a long time ago, but he hasn't called you yet.
I realized there was someone like me.
I realized...
that you could see...
things that others' couldn't.
That day,
I asked Young Mi...
for a way to have you as my caregiver.
Was it you...
who called me, not her son?
I don't have a son.
I've never gotten married though I don't look like it.
In the past,
there was a man whom I really liked.
Like Do Ha, he was tall...
and handsome.
I found out only after being in love with him for a long time...
that he had...
less than a year left.
I wondered how I should live once he died...
and whether I should tell him or not.
I agonized over it so much,
and one day,
I found out that my time was being transferred to him.
I was afraid.
Ever since I could see life clocks on people,
those clocks were...
never...
wrong even once.
I came to wonder what would happen to me...
if he continued to...
take my time like this.
Then I suddenly became scared.
So?
What did you do?
I ran away...
without saying anything.
I ran away.
Then he...
He must've died.
His time...
reached its end then.
My time stops...
when I'm with him now.
I don't know why it goes,
why it stops,
or why...
it's him.
Do you know why?
I don't know.
I don't even know why I can see life clocks.
I have no idea about how they work.
Maybe it's up to your heart.
You want and like him.
Your desperate heart might be the key.
That's only my guess though.
Do you like her that much?
Well?
Your longing eyes are glued to her.
How will you break up with her?
With those eyes,
you think you can live without her?
I can't stand this...
I'm in so much pain that I can't stand this,
but there's no other way...
to stop her from leaving me.
Sometimes, life is...
just too cruel.
Once, I told you...
that things that you cherish, treasure, and love...
disappear sooner than expected.
You're good even if you're poor.
You're good even if it's hard.
You just want to...
keep what you love and cherish in your life,
but that one wish...
is so hard to be realized.
Please keep...
my secret...
and Do Ha for me.
Duckling,
I can't sleep.
There is...
a strange man next room.
It's exactly how the cranky man looks right after he wakes up.
Your smile looks very suspicious.
You surprised me.
It was such a nice camping.
We laughed, chatted, and danced together.
Right.
Thank you for making me amazing memories, Do Ha.
Thank you...
Thank you for telling me...
not to run away and stay by your side.
Don't you run away.
(She's pretty and cool.)
She's pretty...
and cool.
The woman you first loved.
(I can finally see your time.)
I can finally see...
your time.
I'm sorry...
for loving you even when I know that I only have...
a little time left.
(I'm sorry for loving you.)
My clock has...
87 days,
19 hours, 24 minutes, and 10 seconds...
left.
I'm sorry for loving you even when I know that I only have...
a little time left.
Bean sprouts, potatoes, eggs,
and milk.
That's enough food for two whole days.
Good morning, my baby.
It was just a drunken mistake for me.
I don't like you romantically.
Are you announcing you're jobless? Why are you drinking at breakfast?
Stop saying that I'm jobless. It really gets on my nerves.
If that's the case, get yourself a job.
I won't warn you again.
Keep this up, and I'll cut your allowance.
How shallow of you to threaten me with money!
Please enjoy.
The breadwinner of this family is now off to work.
Aren't you eating breakfast?
I'm already late.
I should quickly get to work if I want to earn money.
Mom.
Yes?
What is it?
Do I look exhausted to you?
Are you worried because I seem tired?
I just want to say I'm grateful.
What?
I'm sure...
it's not easy to go back to work.
I want to thank you for taking care of this family...
by getting a job.
Right. I'll do even better from now on.
Many wear suits like those nowadays.
These days, simple and modern is the trend.
This one.
This one. I'd like to see those three.
Sure. When will the groom...
He'll come for fitting when my dress is ready.
All right, ma'am.
(Do Ha)
Your call is being forwarded to voicemail.
My parents suggest this weekend or the next.
Which is better for you?
I'll choose the one you find more convenient.
I'll meet them this weekend.
No matter how many planners you hire,
the bride always has more to prepare.
The quicker I meet your parents,
the more time you'll have.
Then I'll decide on a venue for this weekend and get back to you.
You're probably busy as it is,
so there's no need to come in person to discuss matters.
Make most of the decisions on your end...
and relay them to Secretary Kim.
Father,
I have a favor to ask.
Go ahead.
I feel embarrassed and ashamed to even ask you this,
but you're the only one I can turn to.
Do Ha hasn't seemed to have made up this mind yet.
I'm worried that he'll make a mistake...
and say that he won't marry me...
at our family gathering.
He'd have to be...
completely insane to dare say that in front of your parents.
I could be overreacting,
but I want to be certain.
Could you call him over and talk to him for me?
Please.
You said you were embarrassed to say this,
but I'm the one who's sorry.
I should've taken care of the matter,
but I made a bride-to-be worry about such a thing.
I'll call him over and talk good sense into him.
Don't you worry and just focus on the wedding plans.
Thank you.
I'm sure you know this,
but having you on my side reassures me.
I can't believe she thought to hold her own funeral.
She's one incredible lady.
It was so startling that I got angry at first,
but seeing her talking with her friends...
as she laughed and smiled,
made me realize that a goodbye could be happy too.
It was one decent funeral.
How can there be a happy goodbye?
The last moment is always sad.
By the way, how was it?
- What? - Your clock.
You were with Mr. Lee that day.
Actually,
my clock has just been on hold lately.
On hold?
His time doesn't add on to yours?
That's weird. Why?
If your clock is at a halt,
then there wouldn't be a problem for you to be with him again.
Right? I'm right!
No, I can't.
I'm not exactly sure of this,
but I think...
the clock stopped when we made our minds to breakup.
It may be fine now,
but I could start stealing his time again.
I just can't be with Do Ha.
(MK President Lee Do Ha)
I called to confirm a few things.
Confirm?
Mi Ka told me that she's going to die soon.
Have you heard of this too?
Is she perhaps ill?
Is there something going on with her that I don't know about?
She's not ill.
I've asked you several questions,
yet you only answered one.
Your added silence...
means that she's not ill but dying.
And that there's something else I don't know about.
Is my interpretation...
correct?
Fine.
Why can't I be with Mi Ka then?
Can you answer that?
Mr. Lee.
Mi Ka already gave me an earful about this.
It's wrong of me to talk about her situation when...
it's none of my business.
I'll tell you just this one thing.
You know that Mi Ka really likes you,
right?
So what I'm saying is, she's doing this...
all for your sake.
It's solely for your sake.
Anyway, just because you're together,
it doesn't mean any harm to her.
It doesn't harm her?
Are you sure?
You sure nothing will happen to her even if I'm with her?
Mi Ka is going to be upset if she finds out about this.
What happened?
(What happened?)
(Actress Ah Ri)
Is it still pending?
(What happened? Is it still pending?)
Director Cho.
Actresses keep sending me texts.
How can you work on your music in this hectic situation?
It's actually not working well. I'm stuck.
Mi Ka, what kind of person do you think Yeon Hee is?
She was born in the body of a weak old woman,
but she faces her destiny on her own in the end.
She's an impressive woman.
She's an impressive woman...
who faces her cruel destiny.
(In this curse of time, everyone has abandoned me)
I need a clear answer.
(Is it still pending?)
What should we do, sir?
I think we need to tell at least something to them.
Are you going somewhere?
Let's go to the practice room.
What? Why all of a sudden?
("I Myself")
Try singing this song.
Now?
You'll need some time to read the score.
I'll give you 10 minutes.
I'll listen to it after then.
Good luck.
("I Myself")
[VIU Ver] tvN E13 About Time -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
She's doing this...
all for your sake.
It's solely for your sake.
Just because you're together,
it doesn't mean any harm to her.
In the curse of time
That passes backwards
Everything that passes by
Has abandoned me
But I can't abandon myself
I can't give up
I won't settle
Nor hide
Now, I know
It wasn't me who was born in this way of time
And chose the destiny of growing younger
The suffocating darkness
Which dragged me down
Will disappear now
Forever
I am
The only one in this world
I will bless myself
I bless
Myself
You sang pretty well for your first time.
You're still here.
Mi Ka, I need to talk to you.
My colleagues suspected the two of them were flirting with each other.
Maybe it's true.
What's wrong with you?
I was in the middle of the practice. Why did you pull me out like this?
Did something happen?
Where is my life clock?
Tell me where it is.
It's covered by your clothes now.
What are you doing?
Can you still not see it?
(60 years, 333 days, 12 hours, 48 minutes, 4 seconds)
(60 years, 333 days, 12 hours, 48 minutes, 3 seconds)
(60 years, 333 days, 12 hours, 48 minutes, 2 seconds)
Should I take off more?
It's on your neck.
How much time do I have left?
Why do you want to know that?
Tell me...
my remaining time.
It's not good to know.
I've never told anyone before.
I'm not going to tell you either.
I won't let you go...
unless you answer me.
(60 years, 333 days, 12 hours, 47 minutes, 8 seconds)
60 years,
333 days,
12 hours,
46 minutes, and 58 seconds.
What about yours then?
You said you had about 80 days left, correct?
Let me go.
I told you we shouldn't be together.
You don't care about what will happen to me?
Is that all true?
Tell me the truth.
The things you are telling me,
I need to know where the truth ends and the lies start.
There's something you didn't tell me.
What more should I say?
Let my hand go for goodness' sake.
What if it's not true?
Why would I tell you such a lie?
You think you're the only one in pain?
It's hard for me too.
It's so hard and painful that it's driving me crazy too.
So please leave me alone.
Are you on your way out from seeing the president?
Is he inside?
I saw Mi Ka leave just now.
Goodness.
The chairman wants you to visit him at his house.
He sounded very upset again.
Will you...
visit him after work today?
Tell me the truth.
The things you are telling me,
I need to know where the truth ends and the lies start.
Life clocks were never...
wrong even once.
Can you hurry a little?
Are you still doing the dishes?
You need to get it done quickly so we can all go home.
I need just a little more time.
Goodness!
You break more than you wash!
Just leave it and go!
Don't come to work starting tomorrow.
Goodness. I can't believe this.
How could you be this horrible at work?
Go already.
This is my favorite apron.
I'm home.
Mom.
Mi Ka.
What's wrong?
I got fired.
I tried my best, but I kept breaking dishes.
I couldn't even do my job properly.
I struggled so much,
but you kept on thanking me,
so I couldn't express how exhausting it was.
- What should I do? - Mom.
It's okay, Mom. Don't cry.
I'm sorry.
I'll listen to you.
I'll be satisfied with being your friend...
and as Mi Ka's brother.
So let me come in first.
Let's talk calmly.
What are you doing?
I'm eating fried chicken.
You said you'd listen to me.
You wanted to talk calmly.
I'm already done talking.
I said I'd go back to being Mi Ka's brother.
Then go now.
You're done talking so, why are you still here?
I'm quietly enjoying my chicken, so why would you kick me out?
Do you feel awkward around me?
Don't tell me you see me as a man.
What? A man?
Or just enjoy this chicken.
We used to do this before.
What's wrong...
with having fried chicken together?
What's wrong with that?
I'm so embarrassed, sweetie.
I cried in front of you because I got fired at work.
What's there to be embarrassed between us?
You were new to the job, so it had to be hard.
They're weird for firing you...
just because you broke a few dishes.
Everyone is like that with their first time.
When I first started my part-time job at the convenience store,
I got scolded every day because I couldn't handle simple calculations.
I used to cry a lot.
- Did you? - Yes.
I got scolded so much at that time.
It must've been so hard for you.
I had no idea...
and nagged at you to give me more of an allowance.
I was a bad mom.
That's not what I'm getting at.
I'm saying that everyone is the same in the beginning.
I'm not telling you this to make you feel bad.
You're about to cry again. Your eyes might swell.
You'll become so ugly tomorrow morning if you do.
I should at least earn enough money...
so that you don't have to go through hard times.
I'm sorry that I put you through trouble.
No, I'm more sorry.
I always complained...
without knowing your struggles.
I won't give up like this.
I'll try to find another job which I'm better at.
For my dear children, I'll continue to work hard.
Mom.
Yes?
You know that...
I love you so much, right?
Me too.
I love you...
very much.
What brings you here?
What brings me here?
I told you to come visit me, but you ignored.
And you wonder why I'm here?
We're having a meeting with her family this weekend.
It's the first official meeting between the two families.
You better be there formally dressed.
I told you already.
I won't get married to Ms. Bae.
Why do you remember only your words?
Where did all my words go?
Shall I meet that girl loitering around you myself?
Do you really want me...
to dirty my hands like how I did to Joo Na?
She has nothing to do with my marriage.
But your attitude is telling me otherwise.
If you harass her,
I won't stay still.
You're mistaken about something.
I'm not a weak and scared child anymore...
like when you split Joo Na apart from me.
I won't sit back and watch you do it.
If you won't, what can you do?
Among all those fortunes you have, what hasn't gone through my hands?
Do you want me to collect the funds and clear off this company?
This is my last warning.
Next time, whether I collect all your funds...
or make a clear ending with that girl,
it won't end with my warning.
Maybe I'm getting sensitive with my wedding ahead.
My skin feels a bit dry.
Please take extra care on moistening my skin.
Yes, ma'am.
Can you hand me my phone?
Hello, honey.
I'm at the spa.
It might take around two hours.
Welcome.
You came quicker than I thought.
I got hungry after my massage,
so I was having a salad for lunch.
Do you want something too, honey?
They do good pasta here...
and the endive salad is great.
Cancel the family gathering.
Has my wedding diet been too strict?
I just finished a salad but some still seem appealing.
Su Bong.
Why do you keep making me repeat myself?
I said no.
I said you weren't the one.
You know, you've been exhausting these days.
Can you please not forget what I told you?
I said I'd break you until I have you.
I was very clear.
Do you really hate the idea of marrying me?
Is it that dreadful?
Then turn your back on your father,
give up your company,
give up your privileges, and run away.
What?
But, even if you do,
I won't give up on you.
What did you just say?
It'll be performed in a small theater.
The show was aimed for a big theater from the start,
so what's this nonsense...
about a small theater?
We have to meet the schedule...
in order to keep most of the actors.
Booking a big theater is not a realistic option anyway.
So you'll take the show to a small theater instead?
This is the first piece you're showing in Korea.
A small theater doesn't have enough seats...
If you're worried about it doing well, don't be.
Cho Jae Yu's first show will run at a small theater.
Don't you think they'll be a quite a fight...
over those limited seats?
There may be fewer seats,
but they'll increase in value.
You have a point in all of this but...
Even in a small theater,
I'm confident that I'll be able to show my vision.
Finding a new producer and holding auditions will take time,
and I don't want the actors I've already cast...
to suffer anymore.
I also have someone in mind for Yeon Hee.
Who?
As the show's producer,
tell me that you'll accept my suggestions,
and then I'll tell you who it is.
This is the first show I'm directing in Korea.
I want it to be meaningful...
which means I'll need your help.
It's bad to take painkillers often.
I knew Ms. Bae was like that,
but not to this extreme.
She's planning to force you down the aisle,
so what will you do?
I don't know.
I'm too confused right now...
to think of any plans.
You're also still in the same situation with Mi Ka.
Have you ever had terminally ill patients?
What?
Yes, I have.
I treated a patient who developed compulsions...
after being diagnosed with cancer.
Why do you suddenly ask though?
I want to know what they're feeling.
She said she was dying.
She also said I was her only chance of living.
However, she tells lies to push me away.
I have no idea...
why she's doing this.
A terminally ill patient whose survival depends on you?
Who are you talking about?
It's nothing.
I can finally see your time.
I'm sorry for loving you even when I know that I only have...
a little time left.
Sometimes, life can be...
so cruel.
Be good to Mi Ka.
What you care about and adore...
seem to disappear easily.
So,
you came here...
because you thought I could give you an answer.
I don't know why I that is,
but what's troubling me...
can't be explained in a logical sense.
That's how life usually is.
Sometimes, you can't believe what just happened.
There are many things that can't be understood...
or explained.
How much do you like Mi Ka?
I don't know about you,
but Mi Ka likes you a lot.
She likes you so much...
that she doesn't know what to do.
That's why she ended things.
What does that mean?
That's all I can...
tell you.
The other questions you have...
should be directed at you.
The pain of a breakup...
and the pain of being together...
are yours to bear anyway.
So find the answer within you.
(President Lee Do Ha)
I'll wait until you come out.
I told you not to do this.
Look at the clock.
Your life clock.
Is it counting down?
(63 days, 9 hours, 21 minutes, 25 seconds)
Yes,
and it's because of you.
No.
Nothing happens to you when you're with me.
You run away from me though,
not because you'll die,
but because I will.
When we're together,
something happens to me.
Right.
I don't know...
what you're talking about.
Yes.
You do.
What's your plan?
You have 80 days, no. It's probably less than that now.
What are you going to do alone after pushing me away?
Then what?
What can I do?
Your time keeps being transferred to me.
You want me to live forever with that time of yours?
Was that it?
My time keeps moving to yours.
That's why...
you chose this way?
How could you have such an idea?
You said you liked me.
How could you think of such an idea without even telling me?
Then what?
Do you expect me to live off your time day by day?
I can't do that.
I'm horrified at myself...
for having been excited to live longer without knowing it was yours.
The reason isn't important because the end is the same.
You and I shouldn't be together.
I can't either.
I can't break up with you like this.
If I'm left alone without you,
how am I supposed to live?
I don't care about my time.
I can't leave you alone...
even if I have to die instead of you.
(A Moment I Want to Stop: About Time)
You've never seen the time lie, right?
Then what can I do? I missed you.
What about Yeon Hee?
Mi Ka will be in charge of the role.
Let's work hard. No, let's do a good job.
I'm sorry to make you come all the way here.
The chairman has taken Mi Ka.
You're still not listening to me?
Then I'll send her out of the country with money if I must.
- Father! - This marriage will happen!
