Mom, I'm Sorry ✨ @ Viki.com
Tonight, the city will witness the largest Leo meteor shower in thirty-four years.
The Leo meteor shower
I almost couldn't see her again.
The person to whom I owe too much,
so much that it can never be repaid in a lifetime.
What are you talking about? How could my mom be dying soon?
- She's only fifty years old.
- Sir, please calm down.
She was perfectly fine when I came back last time.
Why are you suddenly telling me she's dying?
Perfectly fine? No wonder people say raising children is useless.
Bastard, what did you say?!
Stay calm and don't act impulsively.
I understand it's hard to accept that she got a terminal illness at such a young age.
But this disease has been there for at least 20 years.
It's by no means right to say she was perfectly fine.
She suffered excruciating pain day after day.
She has been relying on painkillers to fall asleep since five years ago.
As her son, you were completely unaware. Really unacceptable.
She was actually fine. She just needed to take some medicine
and occasionally felt uncomfortable.
But But How did she get terminal illness?
Being able to hold on until now with willpower is already a miracle.
Just spend the remaining month accompanying her well.
In my junior year when my exchange study came to an end,
the first reality I faced was that my mom was dying.
And all I could do was watch her go,
and quietly cherish the memories associated with her.
Mom, didn't I show you the photos before? How did you still buy the wrong style?
What? What's different about this?
It's completely different. My classmates will laugh at me for wearing this.
But since I have already bought it
No, I won't wear it unless you exchange it.
Can, can you help me buy a box of painkillers from the pharmacy?
Do you have to bother me now? I'm playing a game.
I'm sorry. I should have bought it myself in advance.
So annoying, I lost again.
Mom, transfer six hundred yuan to me.
Didn't I just give you the living expenses?
It's for treating my friends. They always treat me when I come back to China.
If I keep this up, will they still be willing to associate with me?
Reciprocity is necessary, right?
No matter how I think about it, no matter how I reminisce,
I neglected my filial duties my whole life.
Mom, I beg you. Please don't die. I beg you.
Don't die.
As long as you can survive, I am willing to do anything.
It's really touching.
If only you had known earlier, you should have been nicer to your mother.
You Who are you? Why are you here?
Me? I am Temple Tattle, a comet.
Comet?
Speaking of this,
are you really willing to do anything for her?
Okay, let me do the math first.
Let me see. Jin Yu has been sick for twenty years already.
- It will take another ten years to cure her.
- Plus ten, plus five
Plus five, plus seven, plus two.
It will only cost you forty-four years of your life to make me fulfill your wish.
Wait! What are you doing?
Am I dreaming?
I told you I am not human.
Anyway, do you want to sign a contract with me or not?
What contract?
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
You have to sacrifice your life to cure her.
What do you think?
Then, how much time do I have left?
You are unfilial! Your mother cannot be saved!
I was wrong. Please save her!
I am only responsible for fulfilling wishes, and I have nothing else to disclose.
But I have to remind you that you are twenty-two years old this year.
If you can only live to sixty-six years old,
giving up forty-four years of time means that
I could die at any time.
That's correct.
And the person who signs a contract with me
cannot die a natural death and will die in an accident.
Are you willing to live in fear for your whole life?
I'm very busy. If you're not willing, I'll take my leave first.
I'm willing.
In my junior year when my exchange study came to an end,
the first reality I faced was my mom dying.
I don't want to do things that I will regret for the rest of my life.
So, please read the contract carefully and sign your name here.
Of course, fingerprint or facial recognition can also be used.
Is technology so advanced now?
That's a deal then.
I am twenty-two years old this year.
After losing forty-four years, I will look like I'm sixty-six years old.
It's just a dream after all.
Can.
What's going on here?
How did I become young again?
That's how my mom came back to life, and completely became a different person.
I'm traveling around the world in a dream
but I'm calling for help in the clouds ♪
Because I can't stop continuously falling to the ground ♪

[Mom, I'm Sorry]
With a made-up excuse, she was finally discharged from the hospital.
Doctor, in the remaining days, I want to take care of my mother at home.
You silly child.
Son! Son!
Look! Look! I don't have any health problems at all!
Running is not tiring, knees are not hurting, and there is no discomfort in my body at all.
Mom.
Look at this. Look! Is this really human skin? It's so elastic!
Mom, everyone is watching.
You know, when you were born, it was a cesarean section.
Now even the scar is gone.
S-S-Stop!
I do hope Mom recovers, but why did she become younger?
Is this really a dream? Should I go and see a psychiatrist?
Could it be that recovery means going back to before getting sick?
When will I die then?
The man said I will die in an accident.
How much time do I have left?
Is it twenty years or ten years?
Mom, I'm Sorry ✨ @ Viki.com
Can, are you okay? Are you injured?
Today could be the day I die.
You little brat, are you looking for death? Why did you suddenly rush out?!
Hey, comrade, it seems like you are the one who lacks eyesight.
"Slow down" is clearly written here. Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?!
Kids these days are really something, speaking so arrogantly to their elders.
If I had really gotten into an accident just now,
my mom would have lost her only family member and became alone.
Uncle, it was my fault. Let's just forget about it.
No way. Apologize to us.
Apologize?! Why should I? You stinky woman!
What are you saying? Don't curse my mother!
Mom?
- Son, you just used foul language.
- Son?!
Apologize to my mom for me!
Let go of me. Both of you are crazy!
It's great to be young.
I just got angry and didn't even have a wrinkle.
Mom is now entering a whole new stage of life.
I wonder what I can do for her in the time we have left together.
Mom, can I ask you a question?
Look! Look! Even my hair is getting thicker.
Even if I say I'm only twenty years old, someone will believe it. Right?
Say you're sixteen.
You're so nice.
Mom, did you have any regrets when you were young?
Regret?
If you didn't have me, what would have been your biggest wish to fulfill?
Of course, it would be going to college.
When I was young, I was such a good student.
Even if your grandmother could have afforded one semester's tuition fee
At that time, it was difficult, and we didn't have the conditions.
Then let me send you to college, and take this year's entrance exam.
I'm already this old. What's the point of going to college?
What does age matter? You are still young now.
Stop talking nonsense.
I owe several months' rent, and tuition fees for hospitalization. And going to college?
Since I've recovered, I'll go and find a job tomorrow.
You get ready to go back to school.
Mom, listen to me.
What should I make for dinner?
I'll repay the debts, and you go to college.
- You go back to school.
- You go to college.
- You go.
- You go!
It makes me so angry!
Can, what's wrong with you?
Take a look. This is how you look now.
So beautiful!
Yes, you are young and beautiful, but why did you become like this?
Yes, I have been thinking about this question too.
Can, do you know something?
Yes, I know that the reason you actually became younger was because
Because
I exchanged my life for her recovery.
If I tell her the truth about this
Can, what's wrong?
Can?
Yesterday, there was still a shadow accompanying me ♪
