[DNA Lover]

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

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

You should sober up now.

- Be careful.
- I'm really okay.

I can walk straight. Look.

- No, I'm fine.
- Okay.

- Hello, Mr. Seo.
- Hi. You drank too much.

Thank you for the food.

- See her off.
- I'll be back soon.

- Get in.
- Okay.

- Slowly. Yes.
- Here?

I'm going in. In!

[Like-attracts-like germ project
Han So Jin's Five Meals A Day]

The uniform...

was Kang Hoon's?

It can't be.

Yeon Woo is a tested man.

No way.

Pheromone.

I have his pheromone.

Right.

That was definitely him.

If there's a man who smells like this,

you need to bark.

Could it be...

that Shai...

stopped...

So Jin.

Did Shai stop because of Kang Hoon?

Yes. The Indecent Octopus Tentacle Gene.

Right. If the uniform was Kang Hoon's,

the Indecent Octopus Tentacle
Gene wouldn't have been there. Right.

So Jin. What have you been doing?

A Ri.

The uniform wasn't Yeon Woo's.

It was Kang Hoon's.

What?

If so, my DNA lover...

So were you mistaken this whole time?

Then the sewer indecent octopus tentacle...

is Kang Hoon?

Oh, my goodness.

No. I'm sure there's been a mistake.

There's no way Kang Hoon would have
the Indecent Octopus Tentacle Gene.

You never know.

It could've been suppressed.

[Pheromone, Indecent Octopus Tentacle Gene]

He was my perfect DNA lover.

One, two...

- Mandu soup.
- Mandu soup.

So Jin.

So Jin.

Believing what you want to believe
isn't what a scientist should do.

You need to prove it.

[Episode 11, The Man
My DNA is Attracted to...]

[versus the Man I'm Attracted to]

Ma'am. Please give me some tteokbokki...

and lots of fish cake broth.

Thank you.

Do you always talk so much when you drink?

Oh, my gosh.

Well...

Do you purposefully come here...

at the same time as me?

It's not that.

But I did wait for you today.

Me? Why?

Is that what you usually
do when you're drunk?

When I'm drunk...

What are you talking about...

Put it back

Kang Hoon.

Love...

always comes back.

Put it all back

What are you doing?

Kang Hoon.

I really...

am sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I love you.

I'm sorry.

About Han So Jin.

What were you talking about yesterday?

What did I say?

Do you really not remember?

Something about uniforms and genes.

Anyway, don't ever say
anything that'll confuse...

Yeon Woo and So Jin.

I even said that.

Okay, Kang Hoon.

Let's be friends.

Since we're sharing a secret.

It's incredibly childish,
but a secret is a secret.

A secret?

The secret that Yeon Woo
isn't destined for So Jin.

And...

the secret...

that you're So Jin's genetic match.

Let's hold hands.

I want to do so.

[OBGYN Sim Yeon Woo]

Are you okay?

Oh, no. I keep sneezing
because of allergies.

Oh, no.

Sorry, So Jin.

Kang Hoon got this at a
colleague's award ceremony.

Right. The day I got allergies
because of Yeon Woo's flowers.

Kang Hoon received flowers too.

Mr. Seo. When will Kang Hoon get back?

Kang Hoon is already back.

He said something about needing
to sweat to get back to his senses.

He went to exercise.

I'm done with work now. Where are you?

[My Lover Sim Yeon Woo]

Sorry, Yeon Woo.

I have something important today.

Should I wait until you're done?

[My Lover Sim Yeon Woo]

No. I'll call you later.

[Han So Jin in Wonderland]

What is this? She's making me curious.

Hey, Kang Hoon! Let's talk.

- Go ahead.
- Oh, gosh.

Hey. It's important.

I'm listening.

Do you remember bringing back flowers...

to the restaurant on the day of
our colleague's award ceremony?

At what time did you receive that bouquet?

I don't know. I don't remember.

Try to remember.

What time was the award ceremony?

I told you that I didn't know.

Hey, stop.

- What time was it?
- Goodness.

- Around 11am.
- Around 11am?

If so, at what time did
you receive the bouquet?

Why do you care?

I'll explain the details later.

So try to remember at what
time you received the bouquet.

Jung Tam.

I guess you're all here for lunch.

We went to the fire department's
award ceremony today.

We're stopping by on the way back.

I think it was around 12pm.

What?

Jung Tam.

That means there's a possibility...

that I had an allergic reaction
because of Kang Hoon.

If so...

It's weird.

Are you the kind of guy
who comes to the Han River...

around dinnertime by yourself?

I mean, I just wanted
to go for a run today!

Gosh, are you satisfied?

If so, the telepathy...

[The possibility that he
is Han So Jin's DNA lover]

What's gotten into her?

She's so weird.

[Slow mailbox]

You can write a promise...

you'll keep in a year.

A relationship that can end at any point?

Is that the kind of
relationship you want to have?

Half of love...

is waiting from the opposite direction.

I'm slowly doing that.

Let's meet again...

in front of the slow mailbox.

[To Han So Jin]

[From Sim Yeon Woo]

[Half of love is waiting
from the opposite direction.]

[Missed call]

Until when are you going to do that?

If you were me,

would you accept your girlfriend...

doing a body profile
sh**t with some other guy?

Well... I even...

tolerated the two of them...

being cute in front of me
in matching purple shirts.

That's not the problem.

She didn't discuss it with me at all.

I'm more upset about that.

Don't you think she did that
to protect your relationship?

- No, I don't.
- If so, don't answer.

Even if Sung Mi is hurt,

don't answer.

I should go that far?

- What about you?
- Me?

[Han So Jin in Wonderland]

Hello? Yeon Woo.

Hi, So Jin.

It's been a while. Should
we meet using telepathy?

Let's meet at the Han River or Namsan.

That sounds good. How does 7pm sound?

Oh, if so...

I have a meeting near
Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station.

I'll take off around 6pm from here.

I'll send you lots of telepathic
signals before we meet. Okay?

Why are you doing that?

Jung Tam.

I think you owe me a lot.

When do you plan to pay me back?

I owe you?

Five years ago,

I confessed to newscaster No Min Jung...

while consoling her after you dumped her.

I actually liked her before you did.

Good job.

But she married into the Global Group,

so you don't need to mention it.

Do you owe me anything else?

I went to the brunch cafe
where you're a regular...

and ate some new dishes
for free by mentioning you.

- And?
- On your desk,

I saw... Why do I have to say all of this?

You've sinned a lot.

I'll give you a chance to make up for it.

If you do me this
favour, I'll also give you...

the hotel voucher I
couldn't give you last time.

I won't do it, you fox.

Don't you need the hotel
voucher? Should we forget about it?

It's a rooftop suite. I'm sure
Sung Mi would've loved it.

Bye, then.

Do you need my body or my brain?

Han So Jin has entered the
Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station.

She has entered the
Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station.

Okay. Let's go.

Line two...

heads to Jamsil. Is she
going to the Han River?

The Han River isn't
only in Jamsil, Jung Tam.

Don't get distracted
and follow her closely.

This station is Jamsil,
Songpa-gu Office Station.

The doors are on your right.

She's getting off at Jamsil.
It was the Han River. Over.

I was right, wasn't I? Hello?

This arrogant punk hung up on me.

I'll tolerate it for the hotel voucher.

Doctor Yeo Jung Tam?

I knew it. It wasn't a coincidence.

Yeon Woo and I did
communicate with telepathy before.

She should be around here.

Jung Tam.

She's not here yet.

Yes.

Okay. I'll send you the
hotel voucher right away.

Have fun with Sung Mi.

Are you sure So Jin
got off at Jamsil Station?

If so, she should be here by now.

Okay. Bye.

She should be here by now.

Hi, So Jin. Where are you?

Well...

I'm almost at Namsan.

I can see the octagonal pavilion.

Where are you?

You're at Namsan?

I see.

I'm also on my way there.

It looks like our telepathy worked again.

But what should I do?

There's a car accident ahead,

so I might be a little
delayed. Is that okay?

- Yes.
- I'm so sorry...

Did you do this last time too?

- So Jin...
- Did you use Jung Tam...

to find out where I was going?

I wanted to do all I could...

to make you happy.

I'm sorry.

I have a question.

- What?
- Was that uniform...

really yours?

No.

Kang Hoon and I played that
day with the same number.

You took Kang Hoon's uniform.

But...

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

I never meant to lie.

Whatever the reason, we like each other.

I didn't think it was so important
when we were getting along.

Whether it was the uniform or telepathy,

you should've been honest with me.

You lied to me.

Are you unhappy now?

Aren't you happy?

Right.

I'm not unhappy.

But I could become unhappy one day.

Just like my ex-boyfriends
who weren't my DNA lovers,

we could have a bad breakup too.

Why are you so attached to your past?

Just look at us. Things are going so well.

But it feels like you took
advantage of my beliefs.

I guess...

we better take a break
to think things over.

- What?
- I'm sorry.

So Jin.

So Jin!

Take advantage of her?

Come on, that's ridiculous.

Even still,

how could she say that so easily?

What did I do so wrong?

Excuse me?

Right? My goodness.

She's too much.

- Hey.
- Yes?

Are you kidding me?

Are you going to get on or what?

If you're not, don't press the button.

Right.

Yes. I'm sorry.

Could I get another glass of this?

I'll have the same.

Hey, it's Yeon Woo.

You always have the
perfect timing for drinks...

as if you received my telepathy.

Are you on about telepathy too?

What?

Does it actually exist?

What are you talking about?

She wants to take a break.

I won't make an excuse.

I was drinking at Kang Hoon's restaurant,

and I blurted out...

that you and So Jin are not DNA lovers.

I was drunk, but...

It's okay. It's not a big deal.

What really matters between a couple...

isn't whether they're DNA lovers or not.

What's the big deal about it?

It's for the better.

Acting like her DNA lover
was starting to bother me.

The important thing...

is that I don't want us to break up yet.

Yeon Woo.

Are you sure you won't ever hurt So Jin?

Honestly speaking,

you'll break up with her one day.

Am I wrong?

She's looking for someone
she will never break up with.

Someone she can marry
and live together forever.

Can you become...

that someone to her?

If you're not sure about
it, you better stop now.

[Incoming call]

[Missed calls]

She doesn't have enough perseverance.

I would've picked up if she
had called one more time.

Dr. Yeo, your patient Nam Sung Mi is here.

Please take a seat.

Last time, you were diagnosed
with hypothalamus amenorrhoea.

Your leptin level has stabilized.

Have you noticed any other symptoms?

Maybe mood swings,
headaches, or hot flashes?

I didn't come for medical treatment today.

You wouldn't pick up my calls,

so I came to see you.

I'm really sorry a situation
called for a misunderstanding.

I want to officially apologize.

Why do you look so drawn?

I feel so bad.

Did you have trouble eating
and sleeping because of me?

I'm so sorry.

Don't cry.

Will you accept my apology?

I'll forget about it.

I'll forget about it, so don't worry.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm going to get spicy pork.

No, not today.

Hey. How about malatang?

- Do you want tanghulu too?
- Yes.

- Tanghulu.
- Tanghulu.

I wanted to do all I could...

to make you happy.

I'm sorry.

But you knew very well how desperate I was!

What? What is it? Are you talking to me?

No.

What's with her?

How could you lie about that?

How can you lie about being my DNA lover?

Did I do something wrong?

[Sim General Hospital]

[Ambulance]

Let's go. Hurry.

Hurry.

[Operating]

[Delivery Room]

Good work.

Hey, Yeon Woo.

Both the mother and the baby are okay.

I'm glad.

Are you busy? Can we talk?

Sure.

My goodness, he's just my type.

Seo Kang Hoon is so handsome!

Why is he so hot? He gives me butterflies.

Didn't you say the vice
director was your favourite?

Are you switching over? How fickle you are.

He has broad shoulders and
the perfect body proportions.

What a dream.

What should I do?

What should I do?

I'll tell you who has
the perfect proportions.

Ever heard of Simvid?

From his hairline to his eyebrow,

from his eyebrow to the tip of his nose,

then from his nose to his chin.

His face is perfectly proportioned
with a one-to-one-to-one ratio.

On top of that, he has a sexy brain too.

Dr. Sim wanted to look humane,

so he purposefully
answered a question wrong...

during his university entrance exam.

Every nurse at our hospital knows this.

But Mr. Seo Kang Hoon is so dreamy.

Did you see him taking
care of Ms. Han So Jin?

He's so noble and pure.

I'd put an IV in my arm and
become a patient for him.

How ridiculous. Hey.

Can you hand me Ms. Kim
Ji Yeon's ultrasound result?

Mr. Seo Kang Hoon versus Dr. Sim Yeon Woo.

Who will you choose?

- Drumroll.
- Drumroll.

Ultrasound.

How are things with So Jin?

Right.

You two don't have any secrets, do you?

What is it? Did she say something to you?

She didn't say anything to me.

It must be tough for
her too. Try talking it out.

Well...

It looks like she needs some time.

You should be understanding of her.

You know why she's
looking for her DNA lover.

I do.

That's why it's more difficult.

I don't believe in all
that DNA talk either,

but she looks happy when she's with you.

Even I can see that.

Like you say, DNA isn't everything.

It's fine as long as you two are happy.

So you should make a move first.

I took too much of your time.

I'll get going.

Don't worry.

I know many ways to make her feel better.

I'm not worried.

Thank you. Let's go.

So Jin.

It's burning.

So Jin?

What happened?

Ma'am, one more bottle please.

Okay.

We're closing now.

Thank you.

It's time to wrap up.

Yes.

Not on my watch!

I didn't even get to do anything yet.

What?

Is it really going to end
like this? My DNA lover?

How could he run away...

after stealing my heart?

Sim Yeon Woo, you jerk.

Forget DNAs!

DNA? What is she talking about?

I'm sorry.

She's unwell. I'll take her away.

- That's enough.
- Where can I pay?

- This way.
- So Jin...

I told you.

How could he...

Please, let's go after we pay!

Yes. I have somewhere to be tomorrow.

I'll join the gathering next time.

I want to get everything sorted
out the way you always wanted.

Come home on Friday at 7pm.

How much did I drink last night?

I'm dying.

Don't even mention it.

You drank soju straight like crazy.

That's what I'm talking about.

I never knew you drank
so well before yesterday.

Why didn't you stop me? I feel so sick...

- Hey.
- Come on.

It's not like you listen to us.

You were crying and screaming.

I loved that barbecue place.

We can't go there for a
while because I'm ashamed.

There are so many barbecue
places. You can go somewhere else.

But their salted anchovy is something else.

- I'll look for a different place.
- It's from Jeju Island.

Ma'am. Hello.

I came to say bye...

since I won't be able
to come here for a while.

I've been visiting often
since I took a liking to you.

It's too bad.

Why won't you be coming?

Are you going to stop
the anti-ageing treatment?

There's no need now.

I'll be divorcing my husband.

When I think about it,

I've had a crush on my
husband for over 30 years.

But I've decided to stop.

Well...

I'm not sure if this will
give you any consolation,

but...

I wouldn't call that a crush.

Maybe you chose the wrong person...

thinking he was your destiny.

At a point, you become
too old to turn things back.

I have a son.

All of my life,

I thought he was hurt
because of my husband.

But these days, I think
he was hurt because of me.

Do you know what pains me the most?

My son is unable to fully
give his love to someone.

When people told me he
dated people without his heart,

I thought he took after my husband.

But that wasn't the case.
It was because of me.

All he saw while growing up was me.

Of course he turned out that way.

You shouldn't think like that.

Loving my husband was so hard...

that I neglected my child.

I don't have much time left,

but I want to apologize to my son.

What do you mean you
don't have much time left?

I'll get going.

Thank you...

for everything.

My pleasure.

Please come visit from time to
time so we can have tea together.

I hope...

my son would meet someone...

like you.

So Jin.

I know you don't want
to talk to me right now.

Please just hear me out on this.

DNA doesn't matter to me.

I just wanted to become
someone you would like.

Unlike what I intended,

I hurt you, and for that, I'm truly sorry.

Can't you...

please understand me?

I think...

you didn't have bad
intentions for doing that.

But you said it yourself.

That you only get hurt if
you allow yourself to be hurt.

I really hate being hurt
more than anything now,

but because it's you,

I allowed you to hurt me.

Because I believed you
were my destined partner.

But knowing that my destined partner...

wasn't actually my destined partner...

is a little hard to accept.

So, please give me some time.

Are you okay?

I'm not really sure.

About how I feel...

or how Yeon Woo feels.

- Why?
- He pretended to be my DNA lover...

until now for my sake,

but how is that for me?

It could be.

How could he do that?

I just can't understand it.

You fool.

Don't try to understand it with
your head but with your heart.

I'm sure Yeon Woo didn't want to do so.

He must've done so because he liked you.

Would it have been easy for a
guy who doesn't believe in destiny...

to pretend to be your DNA lover?

And with his personality?

Do you still not get it?

I don't know.

You're all grown up. You even
know how to talk about this stuff.

Don't touch me. I'm all sweaty.

You punk.

Hey.

Come to the greenhouse.

[Grass tree]

- Yes?
- Is this Mr. Sim Yeon Woo?

This evening, a fire broke
out in the greenhouse...

of a home in Seongbuk-dong.

Firefighters were able to put out the fire,

but A, a man in his 50s, lost his life.

And B, a woman in her 50s,

still remains unconscious.

According to police investigations,

a diary containing what seems
to be a suicide note written by B...

was found on the scene,

leading investigators to believe
B attempted to commit suicide.

The fire department thinks the
fire was started from the inside...

and have stated that they
are currently investigating...

the exact cause of the fire
and the scale of the damage.

Mom.

Mom.

Mr. Sim Yeon Woo?

This is Ms. Yeom Jang Mi's
diary that we found at the house.

What?

We think she has been planning
to take her own life for a while.

Are you all right? I heard
it was someone you knew.

Why? Is there a problem?

Hello.

You haven't heard, have you?

Yeon Woo's dad passed away in a fire.

We entrust the soul
of your follower to you.

Please lead us to
hold his funeral gladly...

with hopes of heaven and rebirth.

Comfort the pain of his family...

who will suffer in pain from
being apart for the time being.

Let the Holy Spirit be with them
and keep away their sorrows.

- Amen.
- Amen.

I'm sorry for your loss.

By the way, the arsonist who
made Director Sim pass away...

was his wife, right?

The motive for m*rder is obvious.

She suffered all her life
because of the director's affairs.

You may not feel mournful,
but at least stop the gossip.

How hard would it have been...

for Vice Director Sim
to grow up in that family?

Yeon Woo may seem fine on the outside,

but he must be suffering a lot.

Not one of his relatives is here.

By the way, you know
Yeon Woo's mother, right?

She was your client.

Who...

Ms. Yeom Jang Mi.

Didn't you know that she was
Director Sim Sung Hoon's wife?

Oh, right.

She didn't fill out anything
for her family relations...

when she registered as our client.

She was insistent on keeping it a secret.

There isn't much time left now,

but I want to...

tell my son that I am sorry.

Should I tell Yeon Woo?

If your love was going
to change that easily,

you shouldn't have told her you loved her.

Excuse me. I must leave. I'm sorry.

Yeon Woo...

Why did you do it?

Even if you despised him...

[Han So Jin in Wonderland]

[Han So Jin in Wonderland]

Why aren't you answering my calls?

I'm in front of your
mother's hospital room now.

I...

have something I must tell you.

I'm here.

Han So Jin.

The last time you came to see me...

Did you perhaps...

want me to...

hold you back?

[Patient: Yeom]

I'm thinking of taking a
trip to somewhere warm.

I want to reset my memories too.

I need a place where I can dream.

[My Lover Sim Yeon Woo]

That goes well together, right?

Here.

He'll call you. You should eat first.

Okay.

Do you not feel like eating?

No, I guess not.

I want to erase my memories too.

I get a feeling...

that being here will erase my bad memories.

This is the warmest ocean, right?

I found him.

I think I know where Yeon Woo is.

- Where?
- Yangri Port.

I'm sure he'll be there.
I'll go and see him.

You'll go there at this hour?

Are you sure that's where he is?

Let's hope he is.

Then, call me if something
happens. I'll be right there.

Okay. Bye, Mr. Seo.

Okay. Call us.

Right. There's a red
lighthouse by the seawall.

People say when couples
walk to the lighthouse together,

their love will come true.

How about walking to the lighthouse?

Let's just walk while
holding hands like this.

Shall we go later?

Yeon Woo.

Are you seriously going
to make me worry like this?

Did you really think...

I wouldn't be able to find you?

We can't communicate telepathically.

How did you find me?

Are you okay?

Have you...

eaten anything?

Yes.

Let's sit.

Yeon Woo.

Your mother...

came to see me right before the accident.

It turns out she was my client.

She must've trusted me,

because she told me a
lot about her inner thoughts.

And she told me this.

She said she had a son...

and that he probably has
lots of scars in his heart.

But...

that they were scars...

from her, not his father.

So,

she wanted to tell you...

that she was sorry.

She also said she didn't have much time.

I'm sorry.

If only I had...

held her back at the time...

No.

You don't have to feel sorry about that.

It was my family's issue anyway.

I...

came here without
certainty that you'd be here.

I worried about you so
much that I didn't even care...

that you were my DNA lover or not.

Do you know how much
I prayed on my way here?

"Please..."

"Please just let me meet Yeon Woo."

Yeon Woo.

Yeon Woo, you're burning up.

Thank you.

I'm at Yangri Port. I've found Yeon Woo.

We'll spend the night
here and go back tomorrow.

Hoon, is something wrong? Are you okay?

Dad, let me borrow the car.

So Jin.

Yeon Woo.

Are you feeling better?

How long was I asleep?

Just get some more rest.

I'll keep an eye on you.

So Jin.

Can I tell you about a long time ago?

Was I about 14 years old?

My father told me...

that he had met a woman he loved.

And that he wanted to live with that woman.

And my mother...

became obsessed with my father after that,

as you probably already know.

That was when I found out.

The deeper you love someone,

the deeper you get hurt.

That's why I'm afraid.

I can't even tell you...

a simple phrase like "I love you."

But whenever I'm with you,

I start acting strangely.

I want to tell you that I love
you even though I'm afraid.

I had never promised
anyone anything before,

but I want to make promises to you.

Even if I can't keep them.

Just like how you found the
courage to come here today,

I'm working up my courage to say this too.

Can you stay by my side?

I want to keep hearing your story.

Will you tell me more?

About my mother?

My mother...

My mother...

doesn't know that I can't
eat spicy foods even now.

What?

The worst is...

that she added Habanero
seasoning for every meal...

although I couldn't eat it.

Why didn't you tell her?

It was her only joy to cook for
my father who wouldn't even come.

How could I do that?

Still, it was bearable.

My mother...

changes her flowers according to her mood.

Mom.

Your dad won't come home from now on.

You and I will live...

in this house, just the two of us.

Yeon Woo!

[Thanks for everything,
So Jin. And I'm sorry.]

You have arrived at Yangri Port.

Ending route guidance.

Goodness.

Why did you come here?

He said to press this in emergencies.

Where is Yeon Woo?

He's gone.

He's gone?

Yes.

I'm hungry.

Let's go eat.

I'm hungry too.

[Sim Sung Hoon, Yeom Jang Mi]

[Ha Ga Hee]

[Sim Yeon Woo]

[DNA Lover]

Mom, I don't know why I
keep thinking about her...

since I broke up with her.

You should take good
care of her by her side.

I hope you won't regret telling me that.

Come to think of it, the person
who has always been by my side...

was Kang Hoon.

Go on a date with me today.

Look around you.

There are some people who only
have their eyes on you, like the moon.

The one who has always stayed by my side.

My DNA lover...

was this man.
