Yes.
A natural death case.
Might have died in the toilet.
Dunno. I'm still drunk.
If I lose a client again, it's your fault.
Lipstick? No, I didn't rub it off.
I gotta go.
Rest peacefully. MAYYOU RESTIN PEACE
We have various grades of hemp shrouds.
If money is an issue, there's also Chinese made.
- I want the best. - Pardon?
I want her last dress to be the best you can offer.
I understand you, but don't you think
a regular dress will be enough for a cremation?
- Have you been drinking? - Eh?
Just give her your prettiest dress.
Sir... Here.
Could you put it on for me?
Sorry?
They won't do as I say.
My hands either.
You don't have to.
I'm only doing this because you're handsome.
Must get a lot of customers.
Sorry?
You're good at what you do.
LEE Ji-soo, from Geochun, right?
How did you know?
The undertaker's only child.
I wonder if your father is well.
Do you know me?
Do you like your makeup?
You have such beautiful skin.
May you go to heaven.
Here.
I can't seem to move my arms. Could you...
You're so cheeky. You shouldn't do that.
You'll be punished for using
your illness for personal gains.
You used to hate being the daughter of an undertaker.
- What changed? - I know. Amazing, isn't it?
I doubt you would have married, or made a boyfriend.
You're so prejudiced.
I did get married. It just didn't last long.
Single again?
- Did you leave him or did he? - I let him leave.
He said I scare him because I clean corpses.
But that's not enough to file a legal divorce.
- What about compensation? - I didn't get any.
Civil law article 839, clause 2, the division of property.
One has the right to claim the property of the other.
When a settlement has not been reached
the court shall decide the property division procedure.
Shall I get it for you?
Just, that's what the law says.
But anyway, you'll go to heaven for that.
Not me.
It's the people I dress that go to heaven.
What happened to you?
Lou Gehrig's.
It's a lost cause.
Once you get it, you gradually lose control of your muscles.
In 3 to 4 years you die.
I have about 2 years.
Really?
You scared?
Everyone dies eventually. People just don't die in order.
- So don't be scared. - I'm not scared at all.
Because I refuse to die this way.
You know...
Ji-soo
the way we met today...
Don't you think we're meant to be?
It's not fate.
It's a coincidence.
Then what's your definition of fate?
Well...
someone you stay with till the end?
But I don't believe that kind of stuff.
Okay! I'll make you believe.
Let's go out.
What is this?
Put it away.
I clean corpses for a living. And it's meant for the dead.
Ji-soo.
Could you stay with me?
CLOSER TO HEAVEN
Why haven't you charged him yet? Are you dating this guy?
No, I'm not.
How dare you say that?
I despise men.
Yeah, right!
Why do you feel bad about collecting funeral fees?
We're hardly thieves.
If you don't collect it today I'll cut it from your salary.
As you please.
Hey! Ji-soo!
- New socks? - Yup! 100% cotton.
Amazing, isn't it?
Whenever it rains, dad still scratches this saying it itches.
They all do.
It's been so long.
Is everyone being driven out of this town?
Is that why you're studying law? 'Cause it's unfair?
When I first saw you
I recognized you straight away, but you couldn't.
Life's been hard on me.
Have you thought about it?
About what?
Don't mention it again. We'll make an odd pair.
No, not that. About going to China.
- Do you think it'll really work? - I just don't wanna give up.
I can�t just let life do this to me.
- It's a way to fight back. - That's so noble of you.
Alright, if you're better when you return, I'll go out with you.
Really?
Lou Gehrig's disease.
Dies from breathing difficulties after showing symptoms of pneumonia.
They really do die?
How have you been? I missed you, just a bit.
Jong-woo!
Wow, you look great in that suit!
Could you wear this every day from now on?
So you called me to a hospital for a date?
What have you got on your lips?
I'm almost recovered. Wanna see?
For real?
- I'm better right? - You look great!
I can go faster.
Whenever you're ready.
Put more strength into your left foot.
Good job. That's all for today.
Want some water?
Thought we might be having Italian.
So disappointing.
Jong-woo.
I have a serious question I want to ask.
Don't you think my hands are scary and disgusting?
- Everyone says they're unlucky. - Those pretty hands?
They're the prettiest hands in the world.
I'm flattered.
Do you want to spend the night with me?
- I don't want to go home tonight. - You can't.
Why not? I'm not going to pounce on you.
You can have the bed.
I'll sleep on the floor.
- I thought you wanted to go out. - It's not that.
You gotta go home, your father will worry.
You're such a coward.
Alright, wait one sec.
What are you doing?
Dad? I'm spending the night at the hospital.
Love you. Bye.
Happy?
Ji-soo!
Why do you have to be so adorable?
- Are you drunk? - I'm not, Not drunk at all.
Damn, this is so embarrassing.
I needed the drinks before I could ask you.
Won't you regret it?
I just wanted to chat, hold hands and sleep, that's all.
Okay, Let's go then.
I fooled you.
I was joking. Fooled you.
I'm so stupid sometimes.
- They have a room? - Yes
I'm embarrassed. My crutches...
It's worse for me, but I went to ask anyway.
Get out of the car, right now!
This is so nice.
- You like it? - Yes.
Come over here. Feels like you're in the water.
It's my first time on a water bed.
Jong-woo, promise we're only gonna hold hands?
Don't worry, I can't get it up.
Really?
That's quite hurtful.
Jong-woo.
I was thinking...
We do kinda suit each other.
But I'm only going to stay as long as I want.
Only until then, I'll stay with you.
Also, to be honest...
I was married not once but twice.
Wasn't your dad angry? I miss you already.
Did something good happen?
Dad, I think I found the one.
Should I get married again?
He told me that my hands were the prettiest he's seen.
Try to drink less.
BAEK Jong-woo, do you take
this infamous bride LEE Ji-soo
to be your wife in sickness and in health
to love and to cherish with your heart and soul?
I do.
LEE Ji-soo, do you take this handsome groom
BAEK Jong-woo, to love him until death do us part?
Why aren't you answering?
Depends on how good you are.
Then I'll be good.
- You promise? - Of course, answer quick.
I do.
Hello, sea!
Jong-woo.
Aren't you cold?
I don't want you to catch cold.
Ji-soo.
- Shouldn't you be feeling sorry? - Why should I?
Well, you may have been married twice.
But it's my first time.
I couldn't invite any guests or go on a honeymoon.
Honeymoon? It's nothing special.
It's tiring and far too expensive.
- If you wait a little, later I'll... - Later?
Listen carefully, mister.
The moments we have now will amount to what we have later.
The sky's so beautiful. Let's live like there's no tomorrow.
Like a moth?
Yes. It's just a different take on life.
Let's go.
Wait.
- Could I have this dance? - You sound so creepy.
- Are you happy? - Yeah, I think so.
Jong-woo, lets sing that song. You start.
? There's one question I want to ask my love
? What is it about me you love so much.
? I saved a man with my heart's warm embrace.
? Why are you laughing? Now it's my turn to ask.
? Was it love at first sight? How did you feel?
? I just thought that you were the one for me.
? My love, sent down from heaven.
? There's no reason why we fall in love.
? Only that you were there for me to find.
HOW TO KEEP MYMUNCHKIN HEALTHY
There's no response. Could you raise both your arms?
Is that the best you can do? Try to raise it more.
You can put down your right arm.
Try and keep your left arm raised. Keep it up.
You've lost a lot of muscle.
? My nose turns into a waterfall.
? My stomach is full of butterflies.
? Because she wears her bewitching fragrance.
? Take a look at me Gui-soon! Take a look at me right now.
? Take a look at me Chun-ja.
You think I'll be here next year?
What?
Just, would like to live till this time next year.
Didn't I tell you I'll take care of you? Repeat after me. Live!
- Live! - Every second!
- That's a boy.
Here we go.
Catch me if you can.
- Rock, paper, scissors. - Yes!
- Rock, paper, scissors. - Yeah.
Well done.
How could you screw up at the final interview?
Hey, I don't wanna talk about it.
- You should get hair implants? - C'mon man.
Ji-soo, do you know we call him hypocrite?
No, why?
When we were in university, we all went to a brothel.
At the end, he swore he hadn't done anything.
He claims he just talked. He's one hell of a liar.
- Seriously, we just talked. - Yeah right! You came out last.
Did it twice, didn't you?
Yeah, and he hates it when we call him a hypocrite.
C'mon, guys. Ji-soo, you believe me right?
Yeah. You can't get it up.
Can't believe you guys!
Coming through.
- Love philter, shut up. - Why is he called love philter?
- Thank you for coming. - Good bye.
Dad!
Have you been waiting long?
- Here, give this to Jong-woo. - You didn't have to do this.
I was listening out here, Jong-woo sounds happy...
I am relieved. You look happy.
I know you'll be okay
but people like us who live on the dead, also survive on food.
Take care of yourself.
You're not going to see him?
- Next time... - Dad...
Registered the marriage?
Not yet, I didn't have time. I will soon, though.
Take things slow, alright?
- Ji-soo. What's up? - Huh?
- You zoned out again. - Really? Did I?
Do you want water? Want me to scratch your back?
No, let's sleep. Come here.
Did you not quit studying?
There's no such word as quitting in my books.
- You're so admirable, You're the best. - Do I get a prize?
Blood-pressure check.
He could burst.
- Thank you. - Let him rest.
Oh, my...
I don't think he's tired at all.
He's all hard.
Good boy. Smart, isn't he?
- But are you really a hypocrite? - No, I'm not.
- Should we? Aren't you tired? - Do you have a condom?
It's ok, I took the pill.
Give me a daughter, Please! Let me be pregnant with a daughter.
How is he?
Is he still knitting?
Yes. He must have a natural gift, he's better than me.
He's trying so hard.
Frequently using his hands will delay its effects.
We should live each day like it is a year.
Hundred times happier than other people.
Isn't that how it should be?
The thing about Lou Gehrig's is that every day is different.
Are you rich?
- No. - Then are your parents rich?
No.
Then you should be discharged.
You can come in once a month for a check-up.
It's a long term fight.
People die because they have no money, not their illness.
Wow, you've done so much!
Let me read you a book.
- Commercial law? - Alright.
Article 64. Prescription of commercial products.
If transaction claims is not employed for 5 years
the contract is ter...
- Terminated. - Right.
However, if a short term provision is given in another Act
those provisions must apply.
Article 65. Securities and application provisions.
I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU MORE EACH DAY.
LOU GEHRIG'S PATIENTS HOLD ON TO HOPE OF A CURE.
It hurts...
Yes, we're always on stand by 24/7 to see to your needs.
I want to take a break.
I never took a day off for three years.
Find someone else. I can't do this anymore.
You have a reputation. Clients ask for only you.
- Don't even dream of quitting. - Don't lie.
I'm not lying, It's true.
Take this for now, alright?
? There's a man who loves me so much
? A man called Jong-woo who doesn't know how to say I love you
? He's close enough to touch with my outstretched arms
Jong-woo. What are you doing outside? Aren't you cold?
You're frozen like a snowman, you silly.
- Have you been waiting for me? - You've been drinking again?
- A tiny little bit. - Give me a push.
Is this for me? You're so sweet.
- Are we going on a picnic? - It's not for you.
Sorry.
Careful!
- Aren't you cold? - I'm boiling.
- How are you feeling? - Never been better.
- Aren't you tired? - Nope, not at all.
- Then why are you panting? - Huh?
You're struggling. You shouldn't drink as much.
I'm not struggling. I'm mighty Ji-soo.
Go, mighty Ji-soo.
Watch out for the mines! I plan to grow old with you.
Yes, gramps.
- Look, it's snowing. - Wow...
I'm so happy.
Jong-woo, have a go.
Mom, it's been a long time.
Father, mother. It's your son.
You shouldn't drink.
Mr. & Mrs. BAEK.
Next time, I'll make sure he gets here on his own feet.
I promise.
Come in, you're the one who called right?
Come inside.
It's okay. Come in.
- Ji-soo, let's just go. - Don't be like this.
Just listen to me.
Young man, one dose of this and you'll be cured in no time.
Come on in. Why so suspicious?
Here, stand up and make your way into the recovery room.
She looks like hell raiser.
Try to keep still. Don't be a big baby.
You're blood type B, right?
- No, he's not. - Huh?
I guess blood type isn't that important.
He's been getting worse for the past few days.
Also, he keeps getting a fever.
- What else did you say was wrong? - Problems with digestion...
It's because your muscles have lumped together.
The TCM physician also said the same thing last year.
That's all quasi medicine. We're the real thing.
Please help him, doctor.
Is it true that he'll get cured miraculously after this?
Blood type A? I suggest praying.
Miracles don't happen to anyone.
It takes both faith and the patient's will to live.
Do you even have a license? Are you aware that this is illegal?
Medical law, chapter 2 article 3, paragraph 25.
Physicians without a license cannot practice medicine.
The bad energy has to be channeled out.
I'm so sorry, sorry, doctor He's become more irritable these days.
Why are you being like this? He says you could have a miracle.
Ji-soo...
I'm so sorry.
Stick.
How is he?
He'll be okay after the fevers gone down, right?
Don't you realize how serious a fever can be to him?
What did he do?
- Drink? - No.
What are all these bruises?
- Did he get acupuncture? - No. It seemed harmless...
How bad is he?
I understand your predicament But do you know you could have killed him?
What?
We have to wait for the test results. But he'll be bedridden from now on.
No...
Ms LEE.
Yes?
Go freshen up. He needs to be checked in.
I'm so sorry...
He's a real looker. Look at his nose.
Looks like he's got stamina, don't you agree?
You sick fool.
With skin like that it can't be the complexion of a man.
He's my rival from now on.
- Hey, he's smiling. - He's awake!
I think yours is better than mine. Do you get skin treatment?
I'm embarrassed but it's just my natural glow.
- What are you filming? - Today's my wife's birthday
so I thought a birthday message from the ward would be nice.
Look, she's lying over there. Sexy as ever.
For 4 years.
Say a few words.
Happy birthday.
Would you like to say something?
I hope you wake up soon. I'll pray for you.
Thanks but we're Buddhists.
Jin-hee.
Like a shot to the head. I'm losing my mind.
Sorry to disturb you.
Say something.
Congratulations.
But I'm not sure if long life is something to congratulate.
It is something to congratulate. Now moving on to Gummy Gran.
Just hurry up and wake up. Stop filming already.
Alright, that was fantastic.
Could you film me?
How do I look today?
Don't you get tired? Stop asking me that.
You look better without the daily eye job.
To my lovely wife, Chun-ja! Happy birthday honey.
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you forever so take your time and come back to me...
He's at it again.
I have so much I've prepared for you.
What are they?
Come back to me if you're curious.
I love you.
One, two, three, four.
Who was it?
Who the hell stole my Chun-ja's ginseng?
Was it you?
It was you wasn't it? Why d'you have to steal it?
- C'mon man. - Did you?
I can't eat ginseng.
I was in the marines. Got it?
Hey! Give it back!
We believe that family members and patients
should fully understand the reality of Lou Gehrig's disease.
In the fight against the illness, certain complications can become
a direct threat to their life.
The lessons we give will not cure the illness.
Rather, it will delay its progression.
Take both your hands and massage the edges of the hands.
And do the same to the back of each hand.
Press the edge of each hand.
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
Fuck.
Ji-soo.
What's wrong? Want some water?
- Could you sit me up? - Okay.
My arm...
And my legs...
That's better.
Ji-soo.
What would I do without you? All I can do is talk.
Did you register our marriage?
Not yet. I was busy... why?
I thought you might have. Don't, it's better this way.
Jong-woo, let's have a child.
Hey! I thought we agreed not to talk about it.
Alright, I'm sorry.
Hey, that tickles.
It feels that good?
It's amazing, all your senses are alive.
But, aren't you feeling it a little too much?
I should, while I can.
You want more?
What are you doing?
- It could be fun! - What if someone comes in?
We could torch them like moths to a flame.
Your account balance is $110.
Hey, slow down. You could choke.
I feel much better.
Don't you think this will agitate the old folks?
- Must we do this? - Yup, we must. And often.
It's down to us to change their perception to improve the funeral culture.
A happy send off. Doesn't it sound great?
Tada!
You see? It's not at all morbid.
- It's very comfortable. - What is it made of?
Paulownia tree. Try it yourself.
Won't you have a lie in it?
- For me? - Yes.
Hey!
Are you telling me to die?
You're trying to kill us and sell us these coffins?
How much profit d'you get from selling these?
Are you mocking us?
You'll be damned for this!
Please, calm down.
Let's talk it through.
Please, calm down.
Really? Sold ten already? You're so talented.
- Are you okay there, alone? - Me? I'm good.
Gummy gran's here with me. So don't worry about me.
Alright.
- Jong-woo, I love you. - I love you too.
Were you bored?
You look more handsome today.
What's that?
You have an itch? Alright.
Where? Here?
- If they're done, tell 'em to fuck off. - A bit more...
You know my nickname right? Want me to spit on you?
Don't be like that, Jin-hee.
- What the... - Jin-hee!
I'm sorry.
Okay, We'll go. Take care of yourself.
What's wrong with her?
Could you just kill me?
The doctor suggested stem cell surgery.
She said you could get better after the operation.
- So stop saying such things. - Hey, KIM Sun-joo!
You really believe that? Forget it, Just kill me now.
Excuse me.
I know it's none of my business
but you shouldn't talk to your mother that way.
I know she's family but you shouldn't talk about dying
- like it's no big deal. - What the fuck!
Stay out of it!
What's it to you? Could you just shut your mouth?
Hey, kid.
You should learn to listen to your elders.
And I know your rebelling 'cause you don't have the guts to die.
Think about your mom, she's...
Do you get high from pissing people off?
Hey!
Are you really that nice? Or are you pretending?
I'm dying to kill myself.
Why? I know you want to put yourself out of this misery.
You're a coward.
- Don't be such a hypocrite. - What? Hypocrite?
- You little brat! Come over here. - If I could, you'd be dead already.
- What? - You come here.
For Christ's sake.
