Oh My Geum Bi (오 마이 금비)

Why are you being so frustrating?

We should do anything we can to save her!

They said she could lose her hearing.

There could be other side effects as well.

If something goes wrong, we won't save her, we'll kill her.

If we can see results, we should endure her loss of hearing.

She must hang on until the gene therapy method is successful.

Are you going to pretend that this method doesn't exist?

Later on, when I'm really sick...

I would like it if you didn't forcefully ask for surgeries

or put me through pain.

Please don't do anything like that.

But they said a needle in the spinal cord isn't always effective.

It works differently for everyone.

It's possible that Geum Bi will be all right.

She looks fine right now...

What's fine? She didn't recognize you, had a seizure, and collapsed!

When she has seizures, we just have to give her medicine and bring her here.

But if she loses her hearing too

it's like living half of a normal life.

How could you be so easygoing when she has fewer than 10 years left?

Let's just wait... Let's just wait a little bit longer.

You look just fine to me.

My lips are blue, so anyone can see that I'm sick.

Who would guess that we're in similar situations?

It's complicated if I try to explain, but my body is a little weird.

My body continues to collect lipids although it doesn't use them.

Wow...

They don't only collect in your brain, but in your stomach too?

All over my body.

Those lipids will paralyze me.

Is that possible?

They said I was born with a gene that is different from everyone else's.

It's a rare disease, so I don't think they pay much attention.

They can't just give me medicine

so they'll put a needle this big in my spinal cord.

It's no joke.

Your dad must be really worried.

Little Miss Geum Bi.

Show me a dance.

Do you know any from watching girl groups?

Why are you taking pictures? I didn't even wash my face.

Geum Bi, is there anything you want to do?

Should I try on a school uniform?

Are you worried about something?

No, what would I be worried about?

Someone told me...

that it's rare for any worries to become reality.

Who told you that?

Don't worry about it.

- Oh, it's my teacher! - Hello, Geum Bi.

- Hello! - Hello.

- Mister Chi Soo! - Geum Bi.

Do you volunteer here too?

Mister, do you know my teacher?

Geum Bi, do you know him?

Wait, Teacher. Do you know him?

How?

Take your time.

What? Did it go down the wrong tube?

Hey, eat slowly. No one will take it from you.

Geez, greedy girl. Geez...

Geum Bi!

Geum Bi, what's wrong? Huh?

Geum Bi is having trouble breathing.

It is a symptom of dysdipsia.

The food gets caught in her throat, so she can't swallow.

It's a side effect of the medicine Geum Bi is taking.

Then, does she have to stop taking the medicine?

She can stop for the time being, and start again later.

Then, shouldn't we replace it with the spinal cord needle?

Um, about that...

Hwi Chul.

I'll ask Geum Bi about it.

I'll... take the shot.

You could lose your hearing.

I know.

- Cut! - Cut! Cut!

Chi Soo! That was good!

It was good, but let's do it one more time.

This time, make it more impactful

and try to spin in the air a few times after you're hit.

- Sure. - Are you hurt anywhere?

- I'm fine. - You're okay?

Okay, then. Let's roll! One more time!

Cut! Cut! Cut! One more time!

Let's go again! Let's go again!

Okay! Okay! One more time!

One more time! Make it more impactful!

Oh my, who left so much money...

Thank you.

I wish you happiness.

What are you praying for so sincerely?

- I'm not praying for anything. - But you prayed.

I was just thinking with my eyes closed.

What were you thinking about?

About myself... and Geum Bi.

I was wishing for us to both find a path...

I was thinking about that.

That's a prayer.

I have to fix the windowsill.

Geum Bi has been discharged. I'm going to visit her.

Okay.

The lipid levels... decreased in all areas...

Really?

Are you worried?

They said I got better, so your results will be good too.

We're connected to each other. We even have the same dreams.

Geum Bi!

Geum Bi!

What?

Geum Bi.

Can't you hear me?

Geum Bi! Are you sure you're all right?

You should go somewhere with me.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hee Joon, please look at me.

Can you use your index finger to point at me?

Hee Joon, extend your finger

and point at the doctor, okay?

- Yes. - Lift your arm and extend it forward.

Yes, extend it forward. Yes, extend your arm forward.

Hee Joon!

- Yes, all the way. - Our Hee Joon can do it, right?

- Extend it forward. - Let's gather our strength, okay?

You can do it.

Extend it forward.

That's right. A little bit more.

Doctor.

- Extend it forward. - Hee Joon!

Yes, you're doing great. Point at your doctor.

Forward. Extend it forward.

It seems like Geum Bi's loss of hearing is a side effect from the cyclodextrin.

Please don't blame yourself for her loss of hearing.

You two are just doing the best you can in the current circumstances.

You may have to make even more difficult decisions in the future.

It's possible that it'll be harder for you than it will be for Geum Bi.

I want to ask you...

to not give up, and look after Geum Bi until the end.

I will also work hard, to the best of my ability.

Looking at the results

not all of her auditory cells have been damaged

so it is possible to recover.

For the time being, she'll wear hearing aids while we watch over her.

Hearing aids?

I want to keep taking the shots.

What do you want to eat?

Candied sweet potato.

Candied sweet potato?

I'll go home and make it for you.

Come in if you'd like.

Your seat is over there.

Why do you have a seat for me?

I heard both Zavesca and cyclodextrin showed side effects.

You must have been miserable to death

but you're definitely not the type to keep your hands off.

I knew you'd come.

I haven't made up my mind yet.

- You're here to make up your mind. - I came to check something.

Do you... know why I'm so focused on this research?

If it were you, would you do this research that pays nothing?

I think it was two or three years ago.

I read a thesis about gene therapy

and an article about Niemann-Pick simultaneously.

At that instant, those two papers combined in my mind.

I was destined to do this.

Don't think of us as research partners. I'm just here to observe.

The data I've gathered so far is on the desk.

Are you really going to do it?

Do what?

You've been playing with that ring for the last hour!

What? What ring?

This... isn't an easy task.

In your circumstances, that child will be a lot of work!

I know that.

There's a huge difference between knowing and doing!

What are you talking about?

What will you do with that sick child?

Even when the sun comes out, it'll always be monsoon season for you.

Even when you want to sleep together, you'll stop yourself.

What are you talking about? Are you talking about marriage?

Why is that a problem?

It's a problem!

When the child's disease gets worse, your relationship will be ruined.

Do you think you can handle it?

Gosh, but where the heck is Chi Soo these days?

Should I turn on the lights?

No.

I'll do as you say.

What do we do?

It'll only get harder for Geum Bi, but she can't even hear.

I couldn't turn on the lights even if you asked me to. I'd embarrass you.

It's not your fault.

I made you make all of the difficult decisions

and I just ran away because it was scary.

I'll make the decisions from now on.

I'm the head of our family.

Leave it to me. Believe in me.

Geum Bi's mom.

All three of us will be together whether we live or die.
