Contact me if you are disappointed after reading this.
I feel the same way. Things like this don't hurt.
Don't get hurt again.
Look after yourself.
I want to do something for you.
So far I have only received it from you.
It all started
with events in the summer.
EPISODE 1
Leave!
That summer, I was the first Korean recipient of the Rosaline Literary Award.
Thank You.
I attend many events,
but had never seen such a large turnout
at a book signing event for a non-celebrity author.
Welcome Eun Soohyun, author of Love at Time
and the first Korean recipient of the Rosaline Literary Award, to applause.
- Happy. - After four miscarriages,
I hugged my miracle baby.
I think...
I wouldn't expect
more happiness than this.
- Yes, that's good. - Thank You.
I will never be greedy for any wealth.
I'm your big fan.
- Success and tears of joy - One, two, three. Smile!
It will only be a brief moment.
A lasting relationship
- who will be with me forever... - Mother!
Is my family.
Congratulations on the award, Writer Eun Soohyun!
- Congratulations, Mom! - Thank you very much, Dear!
Mom, hurry!
- Good! - This.
Everything is cooked. Here he is!
- Let's begin. Says beans. - Beans!
One two three!
This is war!
- This is war! - Feel it!
- I give up! - We did it!
- We won! - Help me!
Close your eyes.
Open your eyes now.
Happy
How beautiful.
- Do you like it? - Very.
Try.
- How? - You look beautiful.
Is Gunwoo asleep?
It crossed my mind
that day was so perfect
so that not a single evil thought comes to mind.
- Are you going alone? - Yes, you can go home.
Why? Why can't I come?
Go home and rest. Or go on a date.
What? I don't even have a date.
Besides, I'd rather work.
I'll come with you.
You also have difficulty with the schedule.
Nonetheless!
Listen to me, Miss Manager.
In that case...
After arriving, Hotel Bilton staff will meet you at 15.00, rest first.
There will be a book donation for patients with incurable diseases at 17.00. No.
Call me straight away as soon as you arrive.
Understand, Soohyun?
This is what you call rest?
Don't answer your phone or call me after I'm gone.
You're so stubborn! I've never won against you.
Up to you. Alright, Professor Eun Soohyun.
Up to you. Don't forget to take what's in your trunk.
- What's that? - You said you were going to a wedding.
Use it.
I can use anything. Why are you wasting your money?
The money spent on you is not wasted.
Make sure you look beautiful, but don't overpower the bride.
What? Why?
How can I meet someone like you?
- I am so lucky! - Yes, right.
I leave!
Until found!
Be careful on the road!
Recently, there was a drug case...
Why this number of viewers?
He's Eun Soohyun's husband!
Is HMC a broadcasting station? Never heard of it.
- Who's watching this? - My dog.
Ouch.
- This guy was fired from ABS... - I saw him there.
Kang Suho, stop right there!
It took me a year to get this issue to the newsroom!
- You know that. - I know.
You suddenly asked me to cover an international competition? Why?
This is called press oppression!
You want me to stay quiet and not provoke Kim Joon, right?
This is for your good.
You think he just happened to be mayor? He's in the running to become president.
He won't let anyone get in his way.
That's why we need to uncover it!
True, right?
Hey. Why are you guys silent? Do you call yourselves journalists?
You all want to bring down Kim Joon. I think you're afraid of him.
A waste of taxpayers' precious money on the development of Buyeongdong.
Just to fill his pockets.
Things like this... Isn't it our job to expose dirty deeds like this?
It's enough. You could lose everything because of this.
We will reject any interference or pressure,
internal or external, from individuals or groups,
including power and financial influences, which threaten press freedom.
You said journalists should be the people's ears.
You used to shout and live the journalistic code of ethics.
- You're not worthy anymore. - What?
Are you satisfied?
I won't burden you.
I stopped.
Hei, Kang Suho!
PROFESSOR EUN SOOHYUN'S FAN SIGNING EVENT
- Father! - Yes?
Father's Son!
That's Mom! That's my mother!
Isn't your mother very cool and beautiful?
Yes, I also want to see Dad.
Dad?
Dad's videos are boring.
I want to see Dad too!
All right. Wait a minute.
Want to see this one?
That's Dad!
That's my father!
Dad is so cool.
- Do you like Dad that much? - Yes, the best Dad!
Gunwoo is the best for Dad. The best!
Wait.
What is it?
Come here.
MY HUSBAND
- Hey, darling. - Darling.
You're not on the plane yet, are you?
Not yet. Why?
I couldn't find Gunwoo's fever medicine.
- Does he have a fever? - His head feels warm.
So, I took his temperature and he had a slight fever.
But his body temperature continued to rise.
Do you remember when we left it because it was just a mild fever
and finally we take him to the ER?
Of...
Open the bottom drawer in the kitchen.
- The medicine is there. - Wait.
Yes, I found it.
Today is Sunday,
- so, the hospital is closed. - I'll give him some medicine first.
He'll be fine. Don't worry.
Yes, contact me after arriving. Good.
How is Gunwoo's fever?
SOOHYUN
- WELCOME. - Here's your order.
Wait a minute!
- This is your order. - Can I add more side dishes?
Of course.
- The bill, please. - Good.
- Add a side dish for a table of seven. - Good.
- Soohyun? - Don't answer your cell phone.
But his body temperature continued to rise.
I'm sorry, Director.
The director has arranged everything, but I'm very worried about my son.
Yes, fine.
Please go to Seokgwondong.
How are things there lately?
After all, we have him.
He's helped a lot.
That's good.
We are making progress thanks to Mr. Congressman.
What is it?
I am busy. We'll talk later if it's not urgent...
Okay.
I go now.
There he is.
Keep your balance. Slow down.
Slowly.
Hello! - Hey, heejae.
Heejae, want to try turning?
There he is.
Happy, let's catch it.
Gunwoo!
Mom!
I heard you have a fever. Mom was worried so Mom went straight home.
Yes, Dad touched my head just now like this.
But it doesn't hurt anymore.
I took my medicine at once.
Let me check.
You are right.
You don't even like taking medicine!
Yes, but if I get sick,
We can't have Mom's birthday party or picnic.
- That's why you drink it? - Yes!
Can we go on a picnic the day after tomorrow?
- Of course. - So happy!
Mom, take a photo with this.
- What do you want to do? - I'll sing a song
for Mom's birthday present.
This.
- What? - Mom can't see it yet.
- Even though Mom closes her eyes? - No way!
Go inside.
Can't!
Okay.
You're so sweet.
Don't stay out for too long. Understand?
Where are you?
I'm in the kitchen.
Why are you here?
You're not getting on the plane?
No. I'm worried about Gunwoo's fever.
It was just a moment. He was better after taking medicine.
I shouldn't have called you.
Yes, it should be.
You should answer your cell phone.
Did you call? No call.
Wait.
I became very busy because of Gunwoo.
Good grief. How about you? Can you not go?
- You said it was important. - My son is sick. So, they understand.
I'm grateful.
Are you happy I'm home?
Can I be honest?
As if I got an unexpected gift.
Have you ever seen a gift as beautiful as this?
Every day when I open my eyes.
Good grief.
By the way, Suho?
- What's that? - It is nothing.
What's that?
- It is nothing. - Let me see.
It's nothing.
PANAX - SEDUCTION
Since when?
At that time. Since I quit ABS.
Don't worry. Really. I'm much better.
Excuse me. You've been drinking it for so long.
How could I not know?
- I am so ashamed. - What are you talking about?
I'm the one who's more embarrassed.
I just want to show you my best side.
But things didn't go according to my wishes.
I feel so pathetic.
- Suho. - Ya?
It doesn't matter.
You are right.
I respect the decision you made at that time.
You are more honest than other journalists.
Thank You.
Why is the dog barking?
Gunwoo?
Let's go inside.
Is it Gunwoo?
Gunwoo?
Honey, what's wrong?
Dear?
Dear!
Dear?
- Gunwoo! - Dear?
- Gunwoo? - What?
Where is Gunwoo?
He is not here.
What?
I'm sure he's around here somewhere. Wait here. Let me look for him.
Gunwoo!
- Gunwoo? - Gunwoo!
Gunwoo!
Excuse me. Forgive me.
Gunwoo!
Is there anything I can help you with?
That's it.
I'm looking for my son.
He wears yellow shorts. He is six years old.
- Did you see it? - No.
Gunwoo?
Gunwoo...
Gunwoo!
Gunwoo?
Gunwoo!
- Gunwoo? - Gunwoo!
Dear!
I didn't find it. I'm on the main road. He's not there.
I will go there.
Gunwoo!
Gunwoo.
Gunwoo!
Gunwoo...
Gunwoo?
Dry.
Did you find it?
Why haven't the police called yet?
Hey, excuse me?
My son often comes here to buy snacks.
Did you happen to see him today?
- Not today. - He just...
He hasn't even entered elementary school yet.
He's this tall.
I didn't see him today.
Gunwoo!
Poor child.
Good grief.
Poor child.
Where is his mother?
I can't believe it.
Good grief.
- He was seriously injured. - Please step back.
- Please step back. - Good grief.
Good grief. Poor child.
Good grief.
- This is terrible. Good grief. - Look at all that blood.
No!

SURGERY ROOM
Gunwoo.
Mom is here.
Mom is not going anywhere. Mom will be here.
Gunwoo.
Mom will be here.
RESTAURANT PURENEBOM
You startled me!
You surprised me!
Why cook so much?
It's Soohyun's birthday.
I also wrapped it, you take it later.
I told you not to cook too much. Your wrist hurts.
Why not?
This is for my children.
You don't think how sad we will be later, do you?
What?
After you're gone,
seeing this much food would make us cry.
Why are you crying?
I will live by your side forever.
That's what I'll do.
Okay!
- Taken there? - Yes.
- Be careful. Still hot. - I got a call.
My cell phone.
Soohyun!
I'm at Mom's restaurant.
You landed safely...
Soohyun?
Did something happen?
Sit down. You might faint later.
It's all my fault.
If only I had closed the gate when I entered.
Gunwoo...
If only I hadn't left him alone.
Someone else is at fault here. Why are you blaming yourself?
You didn't do anything wrong.
Understand?
Soohyun.
How about this?
Why are you all crying?
Mother
Mother, don't cry.
Come on.
- Mother. - Good grief.
Gunwoo will be safe.
Don't cry.
- Are you Kang Gunwoo? - Ya, Doctor?
How is it going?
Your son is in critical condition.
You have to prepare yourself for the worst situation.
Mom!
Good grief...
Doctor, please! Save our son.
- Please save him. Please. - If you take him to the hospital quickly...
I am so sorry.
How about this?
- Gunwoo... - How is this?
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
THE WAITING ROOM
Soohyun.
Why are you sitting here like this?
Mother
Doctor...
told me...
to prepare for the worst.
But what should I prepare?
Mother
What can I do?
How can I let go of my child?
No. This is wrong.
I can't part with him like this.
I'll look for another hospital
who can save Gunwoo.
Do not be like this.
Acting like this will only make things difficult for Gunwoo.
Big...
said goodbye to Gunwoo.
Why is Mom like this?
Mom?
Our Gunwoo...
Can't sleep at night without me. He didn't even dare to go to the bathroom.
How can I take it off?
- How? Where will he go? - That's your greed.
Did you see it?
His whole body was covered in needles.
The little boy couldn't talk or open his eyes.
He was in pain, but endured it...
so you can say goodbye.
Don't make him suffer anymore.
It's enough.
Say goodbye.
Mother
You're so sweet.
Gunwoo, you are the best!
You stand up!
You stand alone!
You are the greatest!
Good job, son!
- Mother! - Yes?
Sorry.
One two.
Mom said she would pull it after the count of three.
Excuse me. Does it hurt?
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, dear Gunwoo!
Happy birthday!
Nurse?
It's finished.
Gunwoo?
Let's go home.
Let's get rid of all these painful needles.
Let us go home.
We should go on a picnic.
It's too cold here.
my love
You get cold easily.
Gunwoo?
Gunwoo!
This is fun.
Mom likes how you smell like sweet powder.
I also like Mom's scent.
Really? What does Mom smell like?
Fragrant Mother is beautiful.
And like a star.
Do you really like stars, Gunwoo?
Yes, I want to be a star when I grow up.
- Why? - So I can shine.
Mom doesn't like it.
Why not?
It would be so sad that Mom is here and you are far away.
Don't worry. I'll fly Mom there.
Is it true? Then will Mom fly in the sky with you?
Yes! I will hold Mother's hand.
- Like this? - Like this.
Mom can't let go. Never!
OK, Mom won't let it go.
Will never.
Here the late Kang Gunwoo rests.
Gunwoo, poor kid.
Gunwoo!
Gunwoo.
Dear.
Honey, let's part with Gunwoo. Yes?
Gunwoo! How about this?
Gunwoo, poor kid.
- Gunwoo! - Poor child.
GUNWOO
my dear...
My son...
Eun Soohyun, recipient of the Rosaline Literary Award, lost her son
- in a car accident... - Child
who died in the school zone turned out to be
- Professor Eun Soohyun's son. - The perpetrator
put the victim in his car, ran away with her, then abandoned her,
- missed the golden hour - I'm sorry.
Which caused his death.
Implement harsher penalties for child accidents.
Apply!
Gunwoo cannot be found in this world.
- Apply! - But the media
filled with Gunwoo.
- Apply! - Apply!
Implement harsher penalties for child accidents.
Still, there is one reason to survive...
Implement harsher penalties for child accidents.
- Apply! - and endured this.
- The murderer must repent! - Repent!
The murderer must repent!
Prosecutor, please ask the witnesses.
What was the patient's condition when he was transferred?
The CT showed a brain hemorrhage and some time had passed.
Her brain was very swollen and she needed emergency surgery.
If the patient is taken to hospital immediately after the accident,
would the results be different?
Brain hemorrhage is critical and requires immediate attention.
If he arrives without delay,
he would have a good chance of surviving.
If the defendant had not kidnapped and abandoned her after the hit-and-run,
- the child could have been saved. - Object.
The defendant put the child in the car
to take him to the hospital as quickly as possible.
But the child stopped breathing
and the defendant committed the error because he was very afraid.
Please consider that the defendant
surrendered after realizing his mistake.
Honourable.
To confirm the facts from the day of the accident,
I want to ask the victim's mother,
Eun Soohyun, to be a witness today.
Miss Eun Soohyun, do you accept it?
Of.
I swear,
sincerely and earnestly declare and affirm
that I will say honestly,
the truth, and nothing but the truth.
The victim had a fever that day, is that true?
- Yes. - But you still go on business trips.
He was fine before I left.
That's how it seems. On the day of the victim's accident,
where are you?
I am at home.
- Then the victim? - He's in the park.
So, you leave a feverish child alone outside?
He wanted to do something alone so I waited for him.
- That's not ignoring. - So...
- how does he usually leave the house? - I opened the door for him.
Were you the last person to leave that day?
- Yes. - When you log in,
are you sure you closed the door?
Please go to Seokgwondong.
Hello! - Hey, heejae.
Please answer.
I...
do not remember.
So, you don't know that your son left the park.
You're the mother, but you go into the house and leave the sick child outside.
The fact that a mother
It's a misconception that her child won't do anything impulsively
was the starting point of this accident.
- It is deeply regretted. - Object!
The defense attorney's questions were unrelated to this case.
He forced the victim's mother to answer.
Accepted.
Lawyers, avoid making inflammatory statements.
Continue questioning witnesses.
Just that.
Prosecutor, please cross-examine.
I'm a sinner.
I can't protect my child.
- I want to register the birth. - Good.
- Please fill in there. - I feel even more devastated.
DEATH ACT
WHICH
The same thing
he also felt it.
When I opened my eyes, I was back in hell.
I pray every day.
I pray time will bring me to death.
GRANDMA'S STOVE
Sorry WE ARE CLOSED
FINAL TRIAL
I will deliver the ruling on case 2015-1426.
Due to lack of evidence for the alleged violation
Road Traffic Law and Law on Special Cases Concerning
Traffic Accident Settlement, the defendant was declared not guilty.
- Not guilty? - What are you talking about?
Calm!
Combining various pieces of evidence, including witness statements,
the defendant was admitted to an offense related to a hit-and-run
and the Law on Severe Punishments for Certain Crimes.
In terms of punishment, this cannot be underestimated,
remembering the victim who died in this case.
However, the defendant confessed to the crime and expressed regret.
The defendant was shocked by the gravity of the situation
and the fact that this was an unintentional crime
everything is considered. Therefore,
the defendant will be sentenced to two years and six months.
However,
the sentence will be suspended for four years from the last hearing.
Impossible.
Does that make sense?
You killed a six year old child!
Not guilty? Sentence deferred? Does that make sense?
You call that a verdict?
My son died because of you...
Give me back my son, bastard!
- Calm! - Give me back my son, Bastard!
let me go!
I am so sorry!
I will repent until the day I die.
I am so sorry!
- I will repent! - Shut your mouth, you bastard!
- I am so sorry! - Enough. Calm!
Forgive me!
let me go!
Let go!
HANSANG SEOUL, MAHO-GU, YEONNA-DONG 34-9
Yes, it's me, Mr. Congressman.
As you said, my sentence is suspended.
Thank You.
No need to thank.
We go to sea together.
The captain must look after his crew.
No problem. Forget it.
Good.
At the moment,
suspicion poured into the media over this case.
I think today's meeting proves the suspicion.
This?
My condolences are with the victim's family.
See you again.
Come again.
Let's go.
Hey, darling.
No, I'm near home. I'll be there soon.
Good.
I told you.
Nothing will happen.
It's a good day. Why are you bringing up the dead child?
Do I have time to care about that kid?
Don't say silly things.
Why are you here?
Are you here to see me?
I am sorry.
Just today...
I was punished for my crimes in court.
No.
Apologize to my son.
When I think about it,
You never apologized to him.
You almost startled me.
Good. Agree.
But...
how much does it cost?
Just so you know, I'm no longer responsible for this.
But I want to give a little sense of my responsibility.
You're lucky to meet someone like me.
This.
Take it.
Once you're ready,
you can call me.
You scared me. What are you doing now?
I am sorry.
You ruined my son's life.
So apologize properly!
Listen, ma'am. It's enough.
I won't pay attention anymore.
I am sorry!
What is this? Seriously?
Unlucky.
Then...
Then!
No, Father!
Please! Please apologize.
Please, apologize to him.
You know this isn't true.
My son is dead and no longer exists in this world.
You can't live as if nothing happened!
So what about my poor son?
Then!
Hey, do you know how much business I'm involved in right now?
Do you know how many deals I lost because of your son?
He could have died somewhere else!
Why did you have to get hit by my car?
Hey.
Let's not sweat this.
What happened happened. Shouldn't the living continue to live?
Isn't that so?
You can contact me.
Unlucky.
If I believe that my answer
there is in those who will return to earth,
these flames will not move anymore.
But because there aren't any
who ever returned alive from this abyss, if what I hear is true,
I can reply
without cruelty.
Here's...
my answer.
In my opinion...
what happened was wrong.
What if Eun Soohyun sees this?
Can he bear it?
I'm a killer.
I don't want to know about this person until I die.
Can you help him forget...
the pain?
I think Gunwoo will be sad
if he sees you.
