(All people, incidents, and backgrounds)

(in this drama are fictitious

and unrelated to reality.)

(Also, children and animals were

filmed under production guidelines.)

We will now announce the

Doctor of the Year Award.

This year could be a more

special award ceremony.

As you all know, we have a

married couple as our co-recipients.

We will announce them now.

In the Psychiatrist

category, Dr. No Yeong Won.

In the Plastic Surgery category,

Dr. Choi Jae Jin. Congratulations.

(Doctor of the Year, 2023 KDA Awards)

We sincerely congratulate both of you.

I've checked,

and this is the first time

that a married couple

is receiving the award at once.

We must hear how you feel.

Dr. No Yeong Won.

You can go ahead.

No, you can go first.

You go first.

Yes, well

I'm not exactly sure how this happened.

I don't know if I'm worthy

enough to receive this award,

but I will continue to work hard

to treat patients and help

people throughout my life.

And until I received this award,

she has stood by my side

to give me so much

help and teach me as well.

My beloved

Dr. No Yeong Won.

I'd like to thank her for this award.

Thank you.

As we've heard, he is

such a loving husband.

Then, Dr. Choi Jae Jin's

spiritual leader and teacher,

and the doctor who's taking

charge of the mental health of Korea,

Psychiatrist No Yeong Won.

We can't miss out on hearing

how she feels, can we?

I also feel so grateful.

I always feel that I'm lacking,

but I will try even harder

to become a doctor who can fill

the empty spots that patients may have.

To my husband,

who did so much to support me from my side,

Ms. Hong Sa Kang,

and the person who would have been

happier than anyone

else to see this. Father.

To Father, who cherished

me like a daughter,

I would like to dedicate this honor.

(Psychiatry: No Yeong Won,

Plastic Surgery: Choi Jae Jin)

Personally,

when I listen to Dr. No's

counseling and solutions,

it all seems to end with family.

Then, what does family mean to Dr. No?

To me, family is

a lifeline.

A lifeline?

Yes.

It's where the true No Yeong Won exists

and the strength that gets me back up.

Without family,

I would not be here today.

That is why family is

the one thing that I must

fight for until the very end.

Protecting my family so

that it doesn't fall apart

is my life

and the reason for my existence.

(Doctor of the Year, 2023 KDA Awards)

Oh, my.

What do you think you're doing, Ms. No?

Mother, I have something to tell you.

Tell me? Right now?

What's so important

that you're going this far?

What is it?

You remember how my

father passed away, don't you?

I do. He died in vain.

The case that my father was involved in

I think he was framed for everything.

And I think

Father played a part in doing so.

"Played a part?"

I do remember that Prosecutor Choi was

was in charge of the case on Director No.

Don't beat around the

bush, and just tell me.

Prosecutor Choi,

take care of Director No.

And you have to join us in Hwang Ju Group.

But sir,

he's such an upright person.

I don't think Director No

will just sit back and take it.

That is why we must get him involved

with this sexual harassment case for sure.

Yes, then,

you mean that the secretary

will give a false statement

that she was sexually

harassed by Director No, right?

But sir,

that female secretary

must clearly do her part.

You know this, right?

Of course.

All right.

We'll give it a try.

This guy is a pain in

my behind even in death.

How could Father

take part in framing my dad?

And then, he brought me into this family

Mother, did you perhaps know?

Is that what matters to you now?

What?

So, what do you want to do, Ms. No?

Will you report this to the police?

Or will you reveal this to the world?

I understand. You must want to k*ll him.

But, Ms. No He's dead.

Director No is already gone too.

Whose apology do you want

at this point, and for whom?

Think rationally.

So, I should just pretend not to know

and just cover it up and let it all go?

You're too emotional today.

You're unlike yourself, Ms. No.

What's important is

what you can gain from

having this secret revealed.

Fine.

What would I do when

they'd all passed away?

Still, at the very least,

wouldn't I be curious to know

whether the remaining family

knew about this fact?

As you already know, that man and I

were not in any relationship

where we'd share this kind of secret.

Also, it's not that I can't

understand how upset

and angry you feel right now.

I've spent my life despising

Prosecutor Choi too.

But you need to think carefully about this.

Saying that your father-in-law,

a man the whole world knows,

is the culprit who drove your father

to commit suicide?

Then, what do you think

people would say of you

when you didn't even know about that

and joined that family

as their daughter-in-law?

No, everything you've

accomplished until now

Will you be able to let all that go?

I know how you feel.

How long have we spent

together in this house?

Why wouldn't I know?

But what's important here

is not revealing the truth

but the well-being of our

family. Don't you think?

With this one truth,

think about what will happen to our family.

Think about what you

need to protect, Ms. No.

The choice is up to you.

(Chapter 2: A Downright Lie)

It's such a blessing to spend

this kind of time every morning

with your family.

It doesn't mean you're a family

just because you eat together.

It's important to have such

emotional communication.

What do you think, grandson?

It's suffocating.

Amen.

Good. Now that we've said

amen, let's all start eating.

Sure.

It's braised pomfret.

Father used to enjoy

having braised pomfret.

Honey, come on. I

didn't braise it for this.

He loved having braised pomfret.

- Housekeeper.

- Yes?

- I'm having toast instead.

- Yes, madam.

I apologize, Mother.

Honey, are you okay?

Yes.

Did you feel the same

when your father passed away?

I realized

what the word "sudden" meant.

After my dad passed away,

I was swept with a sense of

longing suddenly from time to time.

I bet you're going through the same thing.

You're right.

How are you hanging?

Of this whole family, your

father adored you the most.

Do you think

you knew everything about your father?

Why do you ask?

No.

I'm just asking.

I didn't know much about him.

Honey.

It's true my parents weren't on good terms,

but the way I see it,

she's greatly shocked.

Why else would she have

mentioned the biscuit box?

It seems to me

that she's acting brightly

to get over her grief like

a defense mechanism.

I don't think so

Be more attentive to her for me.

Sure.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Ms. No.

Yes, Mother.

Could you get me a glass of lemonade?

I'll get you some cookies too.

No, Ms. No.

Buicuits sound better.

Sure.

("Beast's Yesterday")

It's super boring.

The writer probably has no friends.

Friends don't talk to each other like that.

This is trash.

Reading this novel

just ruined my afternoon.

Your sentences show that

you have no talent for writing.

Don't waste your efforts,

and look for another job.

She's not like that.

What do you know, jerk?

You could get a scolding for this, jerk.

"Sandglass."

Ms. Hong Sa Kang, are

you having fun in secret?

What the Does this person know me?

Doctor.

How did it go?

The operation went successfully.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, doctor.

Thank you.

Can he get all better now?

Well, the thing is His condition

He's been very focused,

so let me explain it on his behalf.

The operation went successfully.

It did,

but Yoo Joon is only

a little kid right now.

As we watch him grow,

he'll have to go through

operations and treatments in stages.

Don't worry.

The doctor has agreed

to provide the rest of

the treatments for free.

Thank you, doctor.

Thank you. Oh, my.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Sir.

Toast.

Let me pour a glass

for my father-in-law too.

(No Sun h* rests here.)

Ms. No.

Isn't Dr. Choi a decent husband

and a tender-hearted son-in-law?

They were close friends

when they were alive.

They're resting side by

side even after they died.

Your father

faced such a futile death at a young age.

Go Myeon.

My brother wasn't the kind of

person who would die like that.

- Hello, Aunt.

- Hi.

There's no way he will rest in peace

after how futilely he died.

Goodness. How could he get

slammed by a rock to death?

What was the use of exercising

and taking care of his health all his life?

He got slammed by a rock to death!

Exactly.

I came because it was his

49th-day death anniversary.

You prepared just this wine?

And nothing else for the service?

We go to church.

I see. You go to church

and commemorate his

49th-day death anniversary.

Where's Do Hyun?

He

He went to school.

His grandpa's 49th deathday

is more important than school.

Jae Jin.

Can't you instruct your son better?

Look.

The right word is "educate."

I like the empty grave here.

- Son.

- Yes?

When I die,

bury my body next to my brother right here.

It's expensive, Mom.

- Very expensive?

- Yes.

How much is it per

burial plot here, Sa Kang?

- Jae Jin, let's go.

- Sure.

I know you've bought a few plots here.

Why don't you buy this

whole section for family use?

I bet my brother saved

quite a lot of money.

Don't you know how he spent his income?

Let all those women buy the empty plots

next to Prosecutor Choi.

You can ask them for one.

Goodbye.

Darn that

Relax.

She's too tiring for someone to live with.

Don't you agree?

No, Aunt.

Yeong Won.

My brother adored you so much.

They say a daughter-in-law

is the love of a father-in-law.

Did you hear about this novel?

What novel?

So you don't know.

According to my son, rumors

are rampant on the Internet

that your mother-in-law was the

one who k*lled your father-in-law.

That he died exactly as

it is written in her novel.

You know your mother-in-law

isn't an ordinary woman.

Be careful.

One of her novels might be

about k*lling her daughter-in-law.

Oh, please.

Yes.

You see, I'm not joking.

Look for it thoroughly

before you regret it.

- I'll see you later.

- Bye.

Bye.

Ra Kyung, I'm on my way now.

Yeong Won, did you get the analysis data?

- Oh, right. Let me grab that first.

- Okay.

Now, come here.

My.

You're such a good painter.

Why are you now holding

hands with Mom here?

I meant to hold her hand.

That's weird.

Well, look, Ga Young.

Mom's nails look like a witch's nails.

Do you know the biggest fear

among kids Ga Young's age?

They're afraid of hurting their moms.

So they'd lose their moms' love.

So children

soon hold their parents' hands

again even if the parents let go.

Children's forgiveness

saves adults from their guilt.

("And Then I Was Left Alone")

(The culprit put his

hand against his nose.)

Do you think you can find out?

We only deliver it.

We can't identify the exact

information of the sender.

Even if there's no sender,

we're obligated to deliver it

as long as the receiver's

information is correct.

- Okay.

- Here.

One second.

Is there a way to find out?

Aren't you Dr. No Yeong Won?

Well

I think she is Dr. No Yeong Won.

Ma'am, can we meet for a second?

You must be surprised.

But I have to say I was surprised too.

Because he was never like this before.

Of course, there are kids

who give up on their exams.

Due to the pressure of going to university.

But Do Hyun

Did he come back after

he left during the exam?

He didn't come back on the same day.

But what worries me more is

that he was back the next

day as if nothing happened.

I don't know what is wrong with him.

He worries me.

Hey.

Hurry up.

- Hey.

- Over here.

- Hey.

- Pass.

- Good job. Keep going.

- Watch out.

- Block him.

- Over here.

(Soft Hands)

Thank you for your patience.

Don't mention it.

You should fill yourself

up first with a warm meal.

I'm

here to ask you for a favor.

I've been waiting.

I will have to tidy up first.

Son.

Can I ask why you did that?

I'm sure you have your reasons.

I'm not scolding you.

I want to find the reason together.

Fine.

You can tell me later.

I believe there is a reason

for every decision you make.

As long as you can be

responsible for your decision,

I will always support you.

You know that, right?

I'm home.

Ms. No, come here for a second.

Yes.

How was your day? Where's Do Hyun?

I think he's tired.

Ms. No, I heard you met Tae Oh before.

Oh, yes.

Hello, Dr. No.

He asked me to come

for dinner at his house.

Ms. No.

Tae Oh turns out to be an elite.

He's a passionate young man

who likes George Orwell's novels.

Honey, is Do Hyun okay?

Yes, he's okay.

What's wrong? Something

happened to my grandson?

He must be under stress because of math.

If you don't mind,

can I meet him?

And to say hi?

Yes. That's a good idea.

I heard you won the International

Mathematical Olympiad.

- Yes.

- Is that okay with you, honey?

What?

I'll be quick.

I thought he should say hi to our family.

When you said you were

going to Do Hyun's school,

I thought it'd help Do Hyun

to have a brother like Tae Oh.

I know that you like people,

but I'm worried about you

bringing strangers home.

You don't need to worry about that.

Do Hyun seems to like him too.

Speaking of which,

why don't we ask him

to tutor Do Hyun in math?

Did you say

he's your high school friend's son?

Yes.

How come I don't know that friend?

You don't?

I doubt it.

Don't try to fool me.

Do Hyun seems to be

hiding something from me.

You two have been

getting on my nerves lately.

We wouldn't dare to fool you.

Everything is all right.

Good. You're doing great.

- Come here.

- Next.

Come on.

See? They're already getting close.

Now, use your wrist to throw it.

The real game is what matters.

When you throw the ball,

it draws an arc.

What do you need to do

to throw it in the direction you

want at the speed you want?

Strain in the direction I want?

You know it.

Baseball and math are the same thing.

- Let's try it again.

- Yes.

It's nothing hard.

- Come on.

- In the direction I want.

It's the same as math. Hey.

Gosh. It's okay. It's fine.

Mr. An.

Why are you suddenly playing baseball?

That's Tae Oh.

Hello. I'm Moon Tae Oh.

I'm An Yo Sub.

Let's go again.

I don't have the ball.

You must be pretty good at catch.

Shall we play again?

All right. Go slowly.

(Is your family well?)

Your next appointment

is waiting. Ms. Lee Se Na.

You were very surprised

that day, weren't you?

Yes, a bit.

Me too.

When you first came here,

did you come without knowing

that he was my father-in-law?

Is that important to you, Dr. No?

It's true that I came as a

patient wanting counseling.

Still, I have to ask.

What your relationship

was with my father-in-law.

Should I say that I'm thankful?

Or should I say that I'm grateful?

I still get like this sometimes.

I think it'd be best to stop talking.

That is why I'm bringing this up,

but I think it'd be hard to leave

out personal sentiments with you.

So, I will introduce you to another doctor.

No.

He's already dead anyway.

All I want is to get counseling from you.

Are they happy?

What are you doing right now?

Sorry.

I was just wondering if

everyone was actually happy.

Life is short.

But it'd be too sad not to know that.

Ms. Lee, you must think

that my family doesn't look happy.

What do you think, Dr. No?

Do you think you're happy?

You're the one who

came here for counseling.

If you came here with the

intention of provoking me,

I will decline.

You said this last time.

Just because they're family doesn't

mean they have to know everything.

Is that really true?

Are humans

such beings

who can truly forgive

and understand each other

in the name of family?

Oh, right. Dr. No.

Isn't that so shocking?

Prosecutor Choi's death

was exactly the same

as Novelist Hong's novel.

(Patient's Chart, Name: Lee Se Na)

(Diagnosis: Mental unease, panic disorder)

(Recipient: No Y. Won)

Dr. No.

I'm here.

Please add two sugars

and one cream to my coffee.

Yes, ma'am.

My brother used to nag me so

much not to eat too much sugar.

Your father-in-law was so

meticulous about his health.

But what does that

matter? He died in such vain.

Honestly speaking,

your mother-in-law only has her

wealth from having a rich family.

The person who grew that

fortune this much was my brother.

My brother had so many

connections in politics and finance.

Gosh, but now that he's dead,

it's just like what people say. "One

man sows and another man reaps."

Auntie, you didn't come

here to talk about that, right?

("m*rder in a Frame")

I doubt it really happened

like how it was in the book.

But isn't it a fascinating coincidence?

If you look in there, it makes sense

that Sa Kang's character

gobbled up my brother.

You know how much your

mother-in-law hated my brother.

Sure, it was my brother's problem

that he cheated his whole life.

But she looked down on him so much.

How would a man have any affection?

You know this too.

Your mother-in-law has that odd look.

Of looking down on someone

when she looks at you.

(Hong Sa Kang)

Isn't that so shocking?

Prosecutor Choi's death

was exactly the same

as Novelist Hong's novel.

Until then, I was a fan of Hong Sa Kang's.

No one can tell how human relationships

might turn out.

Don't worry, Yeong Won.

- Why?

- I looked into it,

and there wasn't any mention of you or me.

I mean, there was nothing

about a daughter-in-law

or a sister-in-law dying.

Come on, Auntie.

Why? I read it over again.

Just in case there was something

about a sister-in-law dying.

Gosh.

But do you know what's

even more surprising?

What is it?

Even in this book, the sister-in-law

absolutely hates the main female character.

- Auntie.

- Yes?

- Can I read this book?

- Yes.

(Mount Woomyeon rockslide accidental death)

("Former Prosecutor General Dies

Due to Rockslide on Mount Woomyeon")

This morning, former Prosecutor

General, Choi Go Myeon,

was found dead at the bottom of

the hiking trail at Mount Woomyeon.

Choi had gone on a walk with

his dog early in the morning,

and it has been revealed that

he died from being hit by a rock

that suddenly fell while he was walking.

Police say that the recent rainfall

caused the soil and rocks

on the hiking trail to loosen,

leading to this accidental

death in a rockslide.

They are currently investigating

the detailed cause of the accident.

The rockslide accident, which

was known as his cause of death,

is being questioned as to whether

it was a simple natural disaster

that led to an accidental death.

According to investigations,

the hiking trail at the time

was not weakened to the point

that a rockslide could occur.

The police are looking into other

possibilities for Choi's death

("m*rder in a Frame")

I was curious

whether you could simply conclude

that an accidental death by rockslide

was a natural disaster.

He was so used to hiking in the mountains.

It's still hard to accept.

So why didn't you do an autopsy?

What do you mean, an autopsy?

I'm not really sure

why you're questioning this at this point.

We clearly suggested that

you could do an autopsy

even if it was a death

caused by a natural disaster.

It was your family that declined to do so.

We declined to do an autopsy?

Who did?

Hang on.

You can take a look at that.

(Disagreement for Autopsy)

Ms. Hong Sa Kang signed it.

She's Mr. Choi Go Myeon's wife, correct?

The mountain where he

ran around for decades

was more like an even carpet

than the flat ground itself.

Could he have slipped from

the early morning rainfall?

Or could he have misstepped?

What could have gone wrong?

His body was slipping down.

No, a life doesn't end just like that.

He had always been confident

that he was the one to end things.

Was there someone who

laughed at his overconfidence?

A heavy rock slams right into his head.

If it wasn't an accident from a rockslide,

could someone have

Mother, what are you doing there?

Well, it's the mountain behind my

house. Can't I even go for a hike?

So, why did you just pop out from there?

I dropped my lighter.

And what about you, Ms.

No? What are you doing here?

Are you perhaps suspecting me?

Do you believe the rumor

that I may have k*lled that man?

You did hate him that much.

Even if he were alive, wouldn't

someone have wanted him dead?

But Mother.

Why didn't you agree to do an autopsy?

I heard that the police officers

suggested an autopsy just in case.

He was a sinful man.

Even if he was m*rder*d,

wouldn't it be better to tell the world

that he got smashed by a rock?

(Soft Hands)

("Beast's Yesterday" you subscribed

has received a new comment.)

("Beast's Yesterday")

I just got goosebumps.

"m*rder in a Frame" is said

to write about the same death

as how some prosecutor died.

That's an insult to the

great art of literature.

I shall stop the beginning of this rumor.

Sandglass, this idiot, showed up again.

This idiot

will show up until people

like you are all gone.

What's your relationship with the writer?

I cannot forgive anyone

for insulting the writer.

(It was the same as usual.)

Knock, knock.

Tae Oh got me this wine.

Try some.

- It's nice.

- It's good.

What is it? Are you

concerned about something?

The truth is,

I got a strange package a few days ago.

A package? What was it?

A stuffed headless pigeon and

It must've startled you.

Who sent you such a thing?

It had no sender's name.

I guess a lot of people are

jealous here and there these days

because you're on a roll.

It seems like they want you

to fall rather than be praised.

I know.

You should also be careful just in case.

Okay.

I'm going to bed. I'm sleepy.

Oh, right. You're going to

the colloquium tomorrow.

That colloquium has been

going on for more than a year.

When will it end?

I'm not sure.

Good night.

("m*rder in a Frame")

The picture in the frame is complete.

Will you be able to claim it?

- Goodness.

- Good work.

- My pleasure.

- Bye.

Hello?

Did the filming go well?

Yes. Did you do what I asked?

Yes. I installed a total of five more

at the entrance and in the counseling room.

But why did you want to

install more CCTV cameras?

It's just a regular update.

I'm getting a text. See you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Hello?

I'm sorry. The colloquium took long.

Where did you say it'd take place?

It's the same place every time. Songdo.

I see.

It's over, and I'm going out of the hall.

I'll call you again.

How was the colloquium?

It was the same as always.

Answer my question.

- Yeong Won, the thing is

- Yes, I'm asking you.

Why was your phone dropped

in your brother-in-law's car?

Well

He wanted to treat me to a meal,

so I met up with him.

Maybe I dropped it then.

Today?

When? Where?

Do you have delusional jealousy?

Give me the straight answer.

Jae Jin had a colloquium today.

When and where did you meet him?

Did you know it all?

He said you didn't know that he

had a colloquium in Yangpyeong.

A colloquium in Yangpyeong?

I should've kept it from her.

What was the conference about?

As a solution to facial asymmetry,

a restoration method using

three-dimensional implants

was developed.

A mixture of ceramic and

polycaprolactam materials

and an implant customized to

the patient through 3D printing.

We discussed the

characteristics and clinic examples.

And Gosh, it's what I do,

but it really sounds boring.

I find you so charming when

you talk about these things.

Honey, I'm

proud of the things we were

able to achieve until now.

It was all thanks to you.

I'm getting a call.

Oh, hey.

(Dr. No Yeong Won)

Yeong Won.

Oh, hey.

Is something wrong?

- No. I'm fine.

- Come on.

What do you mean you're fine?

How long have we known each other?

I know there's something

wrong when you're like that.

- What is that?

- Something came.

But I don't see the sender.

(Recipient: No Y. Won)

Ra Kyung.

Try opening it.

What is this?

Looks like a miniature of some sort.

We have the exact same taste. I love it.

So, what do you want to do, Ms. No?

Will you report this to the police?

Or will you reveal this to the world?

I understand.

You must want to k*ll him.

But, Ms. No He's dead.

It was the same as always.

I'm especially tired this week.

Look carefully, Jae Jin.

Don't be scared. One, two. There.

You have to catch the ball with your chest.

Don't be scared and move away.

You can't move away from the ball.

Don't move away and catch it by your chest.

By your chest.

Here it comes.

You have to look at the ball.

Are you okay? Let me take a look.

Are you okay?

He's fine.

I threw it lightly.

He's fine.

Yeong Won. Do you

want to play catch with me?

Here it comes.

What was that?

- You're great at this.

- You're really good.

Yeong Won is really good.

Here it comes again.

You must feel great, don't you?

I also want a daughter like Yeong Won.

It won't be easy.

Dr. Oh.

Dr. Oh!

She's not dead.

Mother.

(Bitter Sweet Hell)

She's a witch, I tell you.

I should've burned

down this place back then.

I don't know what kind

of person Jae Jin is.

That isn't important right now.

We have a new issue in our hands.

Do you still not get it?

We've been set in a trap.

Who is it then?

The one who has set that trap.
