He shouldn't have rushed.

NOVEMBER 7 CHAE-ROK'S COMPETITION

OCTOBER 5, DRANK ICED AMERICANO HAD DIARRHEA ABOUT 3 TIMES

Gosh, this is a human rights violation.

How much did he write?

This is so old-fashioned.

SIM DEOK-CHUL 11, SILLIM-RO 3GA-GIL, GWANAK-GU

MY NAME IS SIM DEOK-CHUL. I HAVE ALZHEIMER'S.

MY NAME IS SIM DEOK-CHUL. I HAVE ALZHEIMER'S.

Are you saying I have…

Yes, you have Alzheimer's.

A neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia.

Dementia…

What am I supposed to do now?

-Did you come here by yourself? -I did.

First, tell your family.

At this early stage, you only forget things occasionally

and your condition progresses slowly.

But it may suddenly take a turn for the worse.

It's best to tell them as soon as possible and receive help.

Can I get another checkup?

What year is it?

It's 2020.

Remember these three things that I'm about to tell you

and say them back to me when I ask you to.

Cherry blossoms, car, and hat.

"Cherry blossoms, car, and hat."

-What is 100 minus 7? -It's 93.

Say A, B, C, D backwards.

D, C, B, A.

What am I holding?

A pencil.

What are the three things I told you?

Well…

They were…

Hold on.

They were…

If you can't tell your family right away, it may help to start taking notes.

From what you ate to whom you met,

write down every little thing

and turn them into habits.

Even if your symptoms worsen, your habits will remain.

Like you'll never forget how to use a spoon.

But if you start having trouble remembering the things you wrote down,

please do come back for a check-up.

Give up driving as well.

It's such a beautiful day.

So sunny and clear.

So why…

Why on earth…

Mom. Dad.

What do I do now?

EPISODE 8

SIM DEOK-CHUL

MR. SIM

Can we stop celebrating my birthday together?

I'll be 40 soon.

-Here. -Do I have to wear this?

Once you get married, we'll stop doing this.

Hey, don't you know we're doing this so that you won't feel lonely?

-Do you think I have no friends? -You don't.

Then I might as well not have… Mom, tell me I'm adopted.

-Gosh, don't say such a thing. -Goodness.

When is Father coming? He's late.

He's picking up a picture.

Picture?

Do you mean the one

you took at the studio recently on your wedding anniversary?

Yes, that one.

He and I had never taken any photos just by ourselves.

You guys have become more lovey-dovey with age.

I refuse to take any photos past the age of 60.

-I'll be too wrinkly and ugly. -Honey.

Fine, don't. Do you think we took them to impress anyone?

I was only talking about myself. Sorry, Mom.

You talk too much.

And did that affect you at all?

-You always twist my words like that. -I must be adopted for sure.

-You're the one who started it. -It was you.

Did I ever say

-that you inconvenienced me? -How nice.

Chae-rok.

What are you doing here?

-I was just… -Come in.

Wait.

Aren't you here to see my grandpa? Let's go inside then.

No, that's not necessary.

Hello.

Goodness. I'm glad you're here.

Say hi.

He's your dad's ballet instructor.

-He's Chae-rok. Lee Chae-rok. -I see.

Wait. "Lee Chae-rok"?

Who's Lee Chae-rok?

Oh, that Lee Chae-rok?

-Sit down. Hello. -It's nice to meet you.

Judging by his outfit, he must be a ballet instructor indeed.

-Right. -I was practicing before coming here.

Please drink some water and calm…

-Damn it! -Oh, no. I'm sorry.

I've never met a ballerino before.

You have a great body.

Nice seeing you again.

-Yes. -What?

Do you know each other?

It seems like you do as well.

No, I don't.

By the way, how come you guys came here together?

-Well-- -When I was an intern, he was there too.

-That's so fascinating. -It is.

-That's wonderful. -I doubt you were an intern.

Were you a part-timer?

Dancers must have a lot of free time.

They teach ballet and work part-time as well.

You have the most time,

being nosy.

-What? -Seong-san, that's enough.

Have some manners in front of the instructor.

-I'm fine. -I'm not.

How dare you mistreat my guest?

If you're going to keep this up in front of your dad, just leave.

Come on, Mom. What did I do so wrong?

Fine, I'll stop.

-What? I think he's here. -What?

-Dad. -I'm sorry for being late.

-Hello. -Hello.

What? Chae-rok.

What? Is something wrong? What brings you here?

Come to the studio earlier from now on.

We'll be prolonging our class by 30 minutes.

That long? Wait. Is that why you're here?

Now that you know, I'll get going.

No, stay. Have dinner with us.

-Yes, eat with us. -Yes.

-We have delicious marinated crabs. -He's right. Sit down.

-Eun-ho, make room for him. -Sit over there.

You've changed, Seung-joo.

What is it this time?

You went all the way there just for Mr. Sim.

You know how to comfort others now.

Are you finally human?

Not yet, but I do know how to comfort people now.

But why all of a sudden?

He looked graceful.

When that old man

reached out his arms and lifted his legs with all his might…

It wasn't even a repertoire. Just some center exercises.

But I was moved.

Perhaps, that's what ballet is all about.

The audience can be impressed by 32 fouettés, but they won't be moved.

You've matured.

I've matured ages ago. I was just enlightened.

You'll be a great coach.

-You won't get paid much, though. -I'm not doing it.

There's only crabmeat in here. It's very delicious.

Have a spoonful. Like this.

Okay.

Good.

How long have you been doing ballet?

-It's been about four years. -I see.

That's not that long, is it?

Those who pursue art or sports usually start from the age of 6 or 7.

-You're right. I did start late. -I see.

-Are you any good? -Seong-suk.

Yes.

I didn't expect you to say that.

I like you. I'll give you a pass.

How about our father?

Why would you ask him that?

Exactly. It's obvious what he'll say.

Even I feel sore all over after hiking.

Since he's much older, it'll be quite difficult.

He actually debuted today.

He did? Where?

My god, really?

What? It wasn't much. I just performed for a bit in front of some people.

Goodness.

That's what a debut is.

He performed in front of a ballet troupe.

He was terrific. They applauded him.

He received an applause?

You're truly amazing. You're the best.

This is what I'm talking about.

People need to challenge themselves.

This cheers me up. I feel great.

May I have some ginseng liquor?

Gosh, you and your mood.

Do you enjoy emptying our liquor?

You finished the raspberry wine as well, didn't you?

You're truly the best.

Don't drink too much.

-Just have one drink. Mom. -Here is the ginseng liquor.

-He's impossible. -My mother-in-law made it herself.

Does anyone else want some?

-Do you want some? -No, I'm good.

You should have a glass.
