Episode 3
(DNA Lover)
(All people, incidents, and backgrounds)
(in this drama are fictitious and unrelated to reality.)
Dad!
Dad, I'm here.
Get up, Dad!
(Sim General Hospital)
I'm so scared
Excuse me, Ms. Han So Jin?
Try opening your eyes first.
Are they open?
- Are they open? - Yes.
Then can you let go now?
What?
You're so reckless.
Why am I lying down like this?
I think I might be able to explain if you get off me.
I'm sorry!
What is this? So Jin?
Han So Jin!
- Are you all right? - I'm fine.
Why are you always so nosy? Why were you up there?
Some people faint while falling.
Some even suffer heart attacks.
If you're unlucky, you could miss the mattress
and suffer from aortic rupture.
Ms. Han might not be lucky,
but I tend to have luck.
How do the two of you know each other?
You need to see a doctor first. Both of you.
- No way. - I'm fine.
But she made it.
We don't want to see anyone else die in front of our eyes again.
I won't ever let that happen again.
Just a minute.
Mr. Sim!
I thought you were dead.
- Are you okay? - Yes. I'm fine.
Are you all right?
Let me check on you first.
Knowing Yeon Woo,
I know he'll save Ms. Yoo.
As far as I know,
he deeply cares for his patients.
What are you doing?
- What? - I said, what are you doing?
- I - Hurry.
I fell with my nose in his armpit.
- His sweat stank. - Darn it.
You were between life and death, and you were smelling his sweat?
Exactly, I find it strange too.
But
It smelled nice.
Dad. Have a shot.
I won't let you drink alone today.
Here.
One for me too.
This is so strong!
How did you drink this every day?
- You! - Ouch.
Didn't I tell you not to drink at a place like this?
We received a report of an abduction
of a female college student around here.
Hey. Do you have a tracker on me or something?
I know all your pit stops.
Gosh.
What?
I told you not to cry by yourself.
Get up. Let's go to our restaurant. I'll make you some noodles.
I already knew
Dad would die.
He freed his bird
and gave away the plants he loved to our neighbours.
I knew he couldn't drink hard liquor,
but he bought kaoliang liquor from the store every day.
I knew it all.
But
I acted clueless
because Dad looked so unhappy.
Me, So Ri, and Mom
We hated Dad for being in love with someone else.
I hated him for saying he wanted to die.
I'm the biggest sinner.
- So Jin. - He didn't call any of us
before he died.
Not me, So Ri, nor Mom.
None of us would've given him
the reason to live anyway.
Dad!
Did you see that? He just breathed out!
Did you see? I saw him breathe out with his nose.
It's the air that was sitting in his lungs coming out.
Kang Hoon.
Please save Dad.
Just for ten minutes.
No, even just a minute.
I have something to say to him.
I have to tell him I'm sorry.
I have to ask for his forgiveness.
I have to tell him I love him.
I never got to tell him
Dad, wake up.
Dad, I'm here. Get up, Dad!
So Jin.
Just find a man like your dad.
Someone who loves you dearly.
Someone who sticks by your side
until you get sick of him.
I want you to be happy.
Because everyone I save
has to be happy.
But I couldn't save
your dad.
Is that why you're still saving people?
Here.
It's an herbal hot pack.
Microwave it for two minutes, and put it on the shoulder and back.
I'm not so good with heat
I think he might be in more pain than I am right now.
He? Who?
Mr. Sim.
That single moment to meet each other
That one moment where they can meet
could be the most precious thing in the world.
Might be more precious than forever.
Why did I suddenly say that?
But being nosy
saved a life.
That single moment to meet each other
might be more precious than forever.
He remembered what I said.
If they could breathe again even if it's just for a minute,
I'd do everything for them and tell them I love them.
I could give up my life for them.
I know how it feels.
But she made it.
We don't want to see anyone else die
in front of our eyes again.
Right
It's none of my business.
Are you all right?
Let me check on you first.
(Episode 3: The Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene)
- Hands up. Jab. - Next. Body.
- One, two. - One, two.
- Jab, one, two. - Okay, straight.
- One, two. Okay. - Jab.
- One, two, right. - Jab.
- Jab, one, two. - One, two. Duck.
- One, two. - One, two.
One, two, duck. Focus.
- Focus. - Okay.
We'll go from one, two, duck, to weave.
Ready, go.
One, two, duck, weave!
How wild.
You have to focus.
- Stop looking out the window. - Sung Mi.
Why not just kill that sandbag?
Just rip them all open, won't you?
Do you want to spar with Do Wan?
I could give you some guidance.
I'd love to.
Shall we see how good you are, Do Wan?
Go easy on him. You'll kill someone if you hit people like you do bags.
Let's stay healthy and pure.
Fight!
- Fight! - Yes!
That's it. Go.
- Get into position. - Let's go!
Position yourself.
Move.
Let's go!
That's it!
Focus!
No, move out!
Stop! Enough!
Stop hitting her!
What?
That's it!
Good!
Nice! Yes! Nam Sung Mi won!
Hey. He must be a huge fan of yours, Yeoksam-dong Fire Fist.
No, I just
You won and all, so give your fan some love.
What are you talking about?
Should I give him some love instead?
- Here, take this! - Hey!
I'm sorry. Please hand it back.
No, that's okay.
I'll put it in the towel collection bin.
Wait
Darn it.
(Iroun Genetic Center)
A Ri.
Hear me out.
It was an impossible situation,
but I could somehow smell a scent on that man.
What could be that scent?
Are you on about scents again?
You'll have to test it out to see if it's real or not.
Just dip him in.
- "Dip him?" - Yes.
Dip him in alcohol.
A Ri?
So Jin. I read this in a book somewhere.
They put the human body in alcohol,
and the alcohol can extract
the human scent.
A Ri, I'm not in the mood for strange jokes.
How can you put a human in alcohol?
That's a great idea.
- What? - That's right.
The brave always finds their fate.
Right I was talking about a serial killer.
Sorry about that.
I'm going to steal
that scent.
Not again
What is it? What's the matter?
I started an affair today.
A tank cut into my lane.
What are you talking about?
Yeoksam-dong Fire Fist's name is Nam Sung Mi.
You told me to try having an affair,
so I signed up at a boxing gym.
Is her name Nam Sung Mi?
Really? How was it?
Great. It was nice. I mean her scent.
What is this? What scent?
Anyway, be careful.
If they suddenly cut in front, they might make a sudden stop.
Keep your balance or you'll fall.
I can take care of myself.
You know we're playing a basketball game
against Energetic Urologists, right?
Right, was that today?
But Nurse Pyo is out on reserve forces training.
Darn it, Nurse Pyo.
That means we're one man short. What do we do?
There's no one else from my department.
Hey, let's get someone external.
I know someone
who is a firefighter and is into martial arts.
- Who? - A firefighter?
I can bring someone external.
No! Their ace is 2m tall.
They'll be hard to fight against.
Only Yeoksam-dong Fire Fist can beat them.
Do you know someone?
They better top Yeoksam-dong Fire Fist.
Here's your order.
Thank you.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
Please give me a bottle of sake.
- Sure. - Sure.
Thank you.
What's with you today?
Did you do something wrong again?
No.
You look busy, so I'm just trying to help.
I'm not busy.
- Give it to me. - Okay.
Thanks.
How come your friends never visit your restaurant?
It'd be nice for them to boost your sales.
My friends? Many came already.
Really?
But what about that doctor
from Sim General Hospital?
Yeon Woo?
Right. Mr. Sim Yeon Woo.
Does he come here often?
Well, he comes from time to time.
But
why are you asking?
What? No reason
You two looked close that day.
How do you know each other?
(Yeon Woo)
Look who's calling.
Hey.
Today?
Why? Is something going on?
Basketball?
"Basketball?"
If they play basketball,
I'd be able to collect sweat which holds the human scent.
That's it!
I'm helping my dad at the restaurant, so I can't.
His dad?
No
Yes. Let's play together next time.
Okay.
What?
Kang Hoon.
I think a man looks the hottest when they're sweating.
- What are you talking about? - What do you think?
I mean I want to see you play basketball.
- All of a sudden? - Yes, all of a sudden.
I really want to watch you.
Won't you let me?
Please?
Do your eyes hurt?
Just this once. Let's play basketball.
You should exercise. You should break a sweat.
Come on, let's go. Please?
Mister, please let him go this once.
Let him play basketball.
Hurry up and go, Kang Hoon.
- What? - Now.
- Are you happy, So Jin? - Yes.
Jump ball.
- In front of you. - Pass.
Nice.
Good!
Go, Kang Hoon!
You're doing so well, Kang Hoon! You're so cool!
You better play well today to repay her.
Hang in there, Kang Hoon!
I'm more scared of your fan than you.
Kang Hoon! You're so cool!
Why is she overdoing it?
Nice.
That's it. Run a bit more.
Hey.
Yes, okay.
Hey, pass!
Pass to number seven!
Steal the ball.
Okay.
That fool No.
- Good job - That's it.
- Pass. - Defend.
That's it. Just like that.
Good, keep running.
Good. A bit more. Keep running.
Nice!
That's it
- Hey. - Over here.
That's real.
That's it Yes, that's it.
Gosh
No!
I have to get that.
What a waste!
It's mine!
That's real sweat
Gosh. No
Let's go!
- Good game. - Good game.
- See you again. - Good game.
- Good game. - Good throwing.
- Thank you. - Likewise.
Hey, I thought you haven't played in a while.
- You were good. - I almost died.
- Really? - Yes. You were good.
I'm dying.
Why aren't you wearing number 23 today?
Today? I needed lucky number seven today.
Victorious gentlemen. We have a team dinner after this.
What?
Oh, no.
I have plans today. Should we do it tomorrow?
You arrogant punk. You're seeing a girl again, aren't you?
He already dips out in the middle.
How about you? You're coming, right?
Hey. Where's our goddess of victory?
Jung Tam. I'm sorry.
I have to go to the store right now. Let's eat together another time.
- But you two should go. - Yes. Take him out to eat.
Hey. Forget it.
I don't need you guys. Don't touch me.
- I don't need you guys. - We could
have something to drink.
- Let go. - Wait.
I don't even want to anymore.
You didn't forget about today's exhibition, right?
- See you at 8pm. - Let's go.
Do you think a beverage will make me feel better?
I'll buy you a nice one. I'll buy you two.
Two, my foot Two?
You must be thirsty.
This is my chance
He was number
seven. He was number seven.
Number seven.
Gosh.
I want Pocari Sweat.
Okay. Five of these.
Let's all get the same one.
Where is number seven?
Number seven!
What is she doing?
Here.
I'm almost there.
Almost there.
Put the T-shirt drenched in sweat in a vacuum flask
and age the smell.
When the smell ages,
it becomes the unique scent of that person's body.
How much you like that scent
is the way to measure a DNA lover.
That's because body scent from sweat
is that man's immunity gene.
For their future children, women can instinctively recognize
her man's immunity gene.
DNA lover.
DNA lover!
DNA lover!
Oh, my.
Over there.
Hey, Sim Yeon Woo.
This is the guy I mentioned before.
Nice to meet you. I'm Sim Yeon Woo.
Congratulations on the exhibition.
Thank you.
I really like all of your work.
It's an honour.
Which piece do you like so much?
Well
I see.
Are you drawn to the painting that depicts giving birth
because you're a gynaecologist?
Is that so?
Most of the pieces in this exhibition
were inspired by my pregnancy and experience of giving birth.
Could you tell me what you feel from the painting?
Okay. Well
The face of the mother who gave birth
seems full of fear but also very sad.
Is it postnatal depression?
I drew how I felt after giving birth to my first child.
The feeling that this child will pierce my heart
like a nail.
That they'll hold me back, snap my wings,
eat me alive, and dig my grave. That feeling.
That must be sad for Mi Eun to hear.
Yeon Woo. Mom and I don't share even a drop of blood.
Oh, my apologies.
We're mother and daughter by social connection.
We all have one person we admire.
"I wish she was my mom."
"That must be so nice." Someone like that.
If Mi Eun was my daughter,
I wouldn't have painted something like this.
To me, my husband and children
felt like a barrier.
Right. I have to go because the reporters are here.
- See you again. - See you again.
Did she get a divorce?
Her husband died.
I heard she had two daughters,
but I've never seen them at her other exhibitions.
It seems they basically cut ties.
That might be more comfortable for them.
I think I like her,
but I don't like her.
Someone has caught your eye. What kind of woman is she?
A person, not a woman.
- A stalker. - What?
She's a researcher. The otaku I mentioned before.
Right.
A kind of alternative charm.
She's coming on too strong, but you're interested. Am I right?
I've never felt this way before,
so I'm curious.
(Sim General Hospital)
You're ten weeks along,
and there are no abnormal findings in the ultrasound.
Congratulations. Your baby is growing healthily.
- Really, doctor? - Yes.
I do have one thing that I'm worried about.
My baby's deceased grandfather lost his eyesight.
I suggest a DNA test. You can do it at our hospital.
How does it work?
It won't harm the baby, right?
It's not done directly on the baby, so it's okay. Don't worry.
Before that, the baby's father and you have to do a DNA test.
You can come to the hospital together.
But he's so busy with work.
Then we can take your blood first,
and we'll use an at-home kit for the baby's father.
Nurse Eo Jin Seon here will kindly explain everything.
Okay.
Doctor. Would it be okay for me to ask
what your baby nickname was?
I want a son like you.
I see
You don't know whether it's a boy or a girl yet.
Well, but I still
Well
It was Sinhon.
They gave me that nickname because my mother wanted
her and my father to live like newlyweds forever.
Sinhon.
That's pretty. I'll use that baby nickname too.
Okay.
We have to run the tests for genetic disorders separately,
so get your blood sample first and have it sent here right away.
(Ultrasound Room)
This way.
What was that?
Knock, knock. Ms. Han So Jin.
(Do you like me?)
(Did you take my uniform)
(Ms. Han So Jin. Ms. Heo Ga Hee's prenatal tests)
(Iroun Genetic Center's Han So Jin)
To draw out the scent of the sweat that aged overnight,
add refined alcohol.
Add 1ml of this special reagent
that I perfected after so much trial and error,
vacuum-seal it so it can fully react,
and you can collect that person's pheromones.
Good work.
What? Isn't that Ms. Han?
What did she eat for lunch today?
Spicy pork.
Sim Yeon Woo. Age, 35.
Job, gynaecologist.
His pheromones
smelled like paradise.
It was a sweet and longing scent
that I've never smelled from any other DNA lover candidate.
It makes me feel like my heart will explode from longing.
It's a fatal scent.
Did you smell it?
Does liking someone's pheromones really make them your DNA lover?
Yes.
It smells like a sewer.
Really? It smells like a sewer?
Yes, that's it.
There's no way 23 pairs of 46 chromosomes
can be that simple.
Calm down, Han So Jin.
That only means he passed the first test.
What's the next test?
There's one thing I must check before going onto the next test.
(Super Teol)
He can't have the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene
that makes people flirty.
The Casanova gene is your favourite,
so you'll meet it again someday.
That's why I'll check for that first.
To see if he's a guy with the cheaters' genome
who can't go a single day without seeing a woman.
If the sewer-smell guy also cheats
That's the worst.
But I need to get his approval first.
How could I get that?
Gosh. Someone must be talking badly about me today.
My left ear is so itchy.
There must be more than a few women who talk badly about you.
Well, talking badly about someone means they care in some way.
Should we have the get-together at Munggi?
I'll contact Kang Hoon.
Right. Tell him to invite the goddess of victory too.
Who?
With So Jin?
Hey, Seo Kang Hoon!
Hey.
We're just going to eat. Why did you change?
I felt icky after running tests all night.
There they are.
Let's go in first.
Okay.
Fatal pheromones.
He must not be a cheater, right?
He definitely does look popular with women.
You don't deserve to be loved!
Gosh. I might get cut off before I even get started.
Oh, right.
Not bad.
Yes. The past should be erased.
She could come every week, don't you think?
- Yes, definitely. - She's pretty.
She has to be good at dancing like Irene.
Hey.
- Don't act rashly. - All right.
- We're picky, okay? - Okay.
Show us some moves now.
Now that So Jin is here, please give us a toast.
Give her that glass.
- Right. - Thank you.
Thank you for cheering us on.
It's nothing.
Okay, fill your glasses and bring them forward.
We came.
We went. We fought. We won!
- We won! - We won!
- Good job. - Good job.
Let's see.
I'll serve it for you, Ms. Han.
Okay.
Here you go, Ms. Han.
Thank you.
Have this too while you're at it.
Since when did you like octopus?
We have some things in common.
Oh, I don't like octopus.
Octopuses have reproductive organs on their legs,
so they have sex with their legs.
Pardon?
Pardon?
Oh, so
Male octopuses use camouflage
to approach the females.
And they only do that to the immature, young ones.
I think a bit differently.
Octopuses are good at communion
and are full of motherly love.
They are strong with three hearts.
But this guy
has three hearts.
So why does it love with its legs and not his heart?
Right.
Exactly.
I named the gene I'm researching lately
after octopuses.
Combining "indecent" and "octopus tentacles,"
I named it Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
"Indecent octopus tentacles?"
Humans have a gene that makes them cheat
for generation after generation.
She must've been very hurt by some Casanova.
Do you really believe there's a Casanova gene?
Yes.
I don't believe it. It exists.
The dopamine receptor on chromosome 11
is the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
Normally, people have two.
But some people
have 4 or even 7.
I see.
Hey, you should get that DNA test too.
You have more of anything compared to other people.
He has many hobbies, girlfriends
Exactly. Ms. Han must know better than anyone
whether I have the indecent octopus tentacles gene.
Pardon? Me?
How?
I requested a DNA test before.
Oh, that?
Once we've used the test for its intended purpose,
we dispose of any samples with personal information.
I'm not the type of person
who runs DNA tests out of personal interest.
A researcher I know
stole some guy's uniform.
What kind of personal interest is that?
She was walking like this.
Who knows? Do people do things like that?
- Gosh. - Gosh.
Are you okay?
Give me some water.
Keep coughing. Are you okay?
So the octopus can come out.
Here. Drink some.
- She's going to throw up. - What's wrong?
- Try to spit it out. - Spit it out.
- I should do something. - She's really struggling.
Yes, do that thing.
I'll help you. Okay.
What are you doing?
I'm going to press 5 times, so cough 5 times.
You don't have to do this
I'm going to start.
- One. - Hold on.
- Give us a dish. - Three.
Four, five.
Good job.
Good work. Good job.
Pour me a glass.
Okay.
Hey.
Do you need more help?
I think you have something you need to give back to me.
Pardon? What do you mean
I completely see why you'd misunderstand,
but it's not like that.
I'll get it cleaned and give it back to you.
What?
Do you
prefer that sort of thing
What? Prefer?
No, it's not like that.
I'll tell you. To be honest
I'm listening.
People's sweat
has immunity molecules,
which gives off a unique scent.
The variation of their immunity traits,
which depends on the M, H, and C genes,
causes romantic attraction when someone smells it.
Romantic attraction?
Yes, attraction. That.
Do you need to smell something to know that?
No, it's not like that. Biologically
How was my scent?
Well
Your scent
was attractive to me.
What?
When I was falling from the hospital rooftop,
your scent felt so vivid that I could almost see it.
I've never experienced that before,
and I wanted to know the reason.
That's how I ended up stealing your uniform.
I'm so sorry.
I wanted to test if it was a delusion
or if it was real.
Ms. Han So Jin.
Are you confessing your love for me right now?
What? Confessing my love? No.
Well, I was just saying
- that in - So Jin. Let's go now.
Get up. Let's go.
Oh, right. We should go.
Oh, I should go too.
Ms. Han.
If you're going the same direction as me, I'll take you home.
No, she lives close to my house.
I can take her home.
I'll be sure to return your clothes.
You seem to need it for your research. Just keep it.
It seems like you need it more than I do.
What are you talking about?
Nothing. Let's go.
Bye.
- Come on. - Okay.
Darn it! You annoying octopus!
Why on earth did you get stuck to my throat right then?
Octopus!
What kind of bad connection do we have?
Darn it.
Darn it.
(Casanova gene)
(Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene, get lost!)
I mean, the Heimlich manoeuvrer. Was that really necessary?
Now that I think back, his skills for sneaking in physical touch is
Isn't he obviously an octopus too?
Also, he clearly knew I had stolen
his uniform, but he kept testing me.
Fine. I should make things clear.
I should test him for the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
(Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene, get lost!)
First, I can get the sample from his uniform.
Should I just do it?
No, I can't just do that without his consent.
There's no knowing what might happen later.
But what if he doesn't consent? What do I do then?
That can't happen!
Let me sleep.
Let me sleep!
Hey, why did you call me out on my day off?
If I don't take care of you, you only go to the gym and back.
- What's wrong with that? - Gosh.
- Another serving of sundae, please. - Sure.
What's that?
It's a fire.
Ma'am, let me borrow this water.
- Sung Mi. - Let's go.
I'll evacuate people first. Please call it in!
Okay!
No, I want to make it light, like a handbag.
Oh, gosh.
Please come this way.
Be calm and keep going!
Go.
It's okay.
Is there anyone here? If you're there, yell!
I know.
Are you inside?
Is no one home?
Is there anyone home?
Who are you? What
There's a fire. Didn't you hear the alarm?
No, I didn't.
Is the emergency speaker just for decoration?
You can't just remove it.
That was like that since I moved here
Let's go for now.
It's dangerous to inhale smoke. Cover your mouth and nose.
- Stay low and follow me. - Oh, okay.
Come on!
Crouch down.
Be careful. Just a moment.
Hey, Sung Mi. I found a resident on the eighth floor.
I'm in the emergency stairwell.
We have to go down, but I don't have a clear visual.
No, the stairwell is still fine. Captain came and put out the fire.
Okay. We'll be right down.
But this looks dangerous.
Don't be afraid. Hold on to my arm tightly.
I'm feeling my way down too.
It'll be dangerous for us both if you let go.
Let's go.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Watch out.
- Hurry. - Hurry up!
Are you okay? We're almost there. Just a bit farther.
Over there.
Watch your head.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Hold on to my arm tightly.
You've inhaled a lot of smoke.
You never know, so go to the hospital and get checked out.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
She was on the floor where the fire broke out for a while.
- Please take care of her. - Okay.
- But - Your trachea might be damaged.
Could you try saying something?
What's your name?
Jang Mi Eun.
All units, report to the eighth floor.
The OBGYN Department of Sim General Hospital
consider the parents and child our utmost priority.
From pregnancy to childbirth, we are there for the pain and worry
- of the expectant mothers - I'll get his consent for sure.
We will always try hard so that you can trust us with
Yes?
Ms. Han So Jin from Iroun Genetic Center is here.
All right.
There's a sample of the hair growth suppressant.
You waited too long, didn't you?
It took you a while. I thought you might've given up.
These babies are the tailored samples for your DNA.
I see.
Oh, is that so? Let me test it out.
Wait, but You can't apply it like that.
Then how?
Excuse me.
Wait.
You're sniffing my pheromones again, aren't you?
No, I'm not.
The suppressant has to be absorbed by each and every hair follicle.
There, you're done.
Oh, right.
Mr. Sim.
Have you ever been strongly attracted by the scent
of someone of the opposite gender?
You're asking me what kind of scent I like on a woman, right?
If it's not too much trouble,
could I ask you how I smell?
I can't smell it from here.
Can you come closer?
Oh, wait.
Mr. Sim. There's something I'd like to ask you for.
- What is it? - Well
Mr. Sim.
I want to test your DNA.
- Can you agree - You've already done it.
Not about the hair growth.
I want to know about you in more detail.
Actually,
all of my ex-boyfriends had the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
And that gene took effect, so they all ended up cheating.
So, I really want to know if you have
the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
The Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene?
What you mentioned last time?
Ms. Han So Jin.
Last time, you talked about smells
and told me you had an interest in me.
Is this how you express your interest in someone?
What
My interest?
I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your suggestion.
That's not how a man and woman get to know each other.
You're coming to the restaurant with your mother and So Ri today, right?
(Family Chat)
(I have some good news. Want to come have dinner?)
(So Ri: I'm busy.)
(You'll come to Always Sushi tomorrow evening at 7, right?)
(Chief Director)
Yes, Chief Director.
Hey, I just arrived.
I get aches and pains whenever I come back from a trip.
Are you at the hotel?
Oh, I'm on my way there.
Is your mom doing well?
Her hormone treatment doesn't seem to be working.
I was thinking of switching it.
Have her continue with the psychiatrist too.
She took all of her sedatives at once,
so she's not seeing the psychiatrist for now.
I see.
- The hospital is fine, right? - Yes, sure.
We're going straight to the hotel, right?
Yes. I'll see you when you come to the hospital.
Bye.
Dad, which table is this for? Table Four?
Here is your meal.
- Dad. - Hey.
- Hey, you're here. - Hey.
Gosh, I came to have a drink, but you guys look busy.
- I'll come again next time. - Oh, no.
Most of the customers will be leaving in a bit.
Have a seat here.
- Is that okay? - Yes, it's fine.
Business is booming.
Have you eaten? I'll bring you your usual drink.
Hey, don't do that. Why don't I go and help Dad out?
You know I'm a good cook.
Come on. It's fine. Just sit and wait.
Here is the hot sake you always drink.
- Wait just a bit. - Okay.
Yoon Seob.
Our Kang Hoon is keeping her safe,
so don't worry about So Jin.
I'll take good care of your family
in your stead.
Enjoy the food, and rest up before you go.
Thank you, Mr. Seo.
What's this?
Have you forgotten already? It's Dad's silverware.
Here is your sashimi.
Mother.
Our aged kimchi is really tasty.
Try a piece with the salmon sushi.
Thank you. I'll enjoy it.
Okay.
So Ri, you brat. Turn that off now.
It's because these guys whine by the door when I'm not there.
You listen so well to Kang Hoon.
Kang Hoon has a smell that doesn't exist in our family.
The smell of a human being.
I'll bring you plum juice when you're done eating.
Take your time and enjoy.
A man's mere wish
was to eat a meal with his family.
That's why your dad's life ended like that.
Keep that in mind.
Even family becomes a nuisance if you don't make a decent living.
It's worse than being strangers.
Even strangers say stuff like that to one another.
To someone who was the breadwinner his whole life,
you could say things like, "Good job," "You worked hard,"
and "It's fine."
Have you ever said anything like that to our family members?
It's not like I owe you anything.
Why do you expect so much from me?
I guess it's my fault for being born your mom.
All of you, quiet down!
Can't you just stop?
People have the right to be forgotten.
You don't even remember properly, and you've already forgotten?
Was that why you always yelled at Dad like he was nothing?
Who was it that blocked Dad's number?
Han So Jin, think about it.
Dad died because of you.
- What? - You two.
Do you know what you inherited from your father?
It's depression.
You, So Jin.
Do you know what you always said as a teenager?
"I was hurt." "I'm suffering." "I want to die."
"I didn't want to give birth to you, but I was forced to."
Seeing how I heard that growing up, I think my depression came from you.
How depressing would it have been?
To have something disgusting growing inside your belly.
I painted the emotions of when I gave birth to my first child.
It felt as though she would pierce through my heart like a nail
and stab me.
Hey.
Why do you always have such high hopes?
Do you still not know that there is no love among our family?
Right. I was wrong.
We're the survivors of suicide and accomplices in doing that to Dad.
But at least for today
I thought we could act like a normal family.
Just an hour to eat together while Dad is watching.
At least for an hour,
I thought we would be a family.
You must feel better to stab someone else.
But what have you done?
Did you really not know that your dad
would leave like that?
- Kang Hoon. - Excuse me.
Just leave her alone.
Excuse me. We still haven't gotten the sushi we ordered.
(The Best Firefighter Seo Kang Hoon)
It's cold, isn't it?
Gosh.
Ta-da.
Were you at the restaurant the whole time?
Then, perhaps
You must've really liked your father.
I did.
Of course, Dad loved Mom more than me.
But not everyone is fated for each other just because you love them.
If you only love someone by yourself,
it becomes more painful the more you love.
My experiment might seem funny to you,
but I believe that DNA lovers exist.
Meeting the perfect partner
is the only way to keep the other alive.
To save each other.
My partner
I'll be so good to him once I meet him.
He must've suffered a lot
while we were apart.
The moment someone looks pretty to you
is different for each person.
The moment this woman looks pretty
is right now.
It's weird.
Are you still interested in my DNA?
What?
I don't think you'll solve the problem with your method,
but go ahead and test my DNA.
I'll consent.
- Really? - But
do we have to do this thing again like last time?
No. I can just use your uniform.
My uniform?
You agreed, right?
Thank you!
Oh, my goodness!
Thank you!
Oh, you can't change your mind later.
You can't change your mind later!
Please.
Genes with a great scent.
I hope
it's not there.
(Iroun Genetic Center)
He sure has selfish DNA.
He has everything that's good.
He has quick reflexes.
He has the best long-term and spacial memory.
(All test areas)
What? The
The Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene?
(High)
He was the highest level of cheater with seven of that gene.
Darn it.
The DRD4 sequence listing is repeated at least seven times.
He's the highest level of cheater.
This isn't just about two-timing.
You will be a seven-timer!
No, you'll have too many women to count!
For your whole life!
Okay.
I'll wash your uniform and give it back.
It's fine. I'll do it.
Hey, but one is missing.
What kind of pervert steals a sweaty uniform?
By the way, who wore this?
Keep looking.
Didn't you wear the same number seven as Yeon Woo?
(DNA Lover)
A cheater is my DNA lover?
- Hurry. - Oh, my!
What's wrong with her?
Mr. Sim Yeon Woo has the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
Who is it?
You can't find destiny through an experiment.
This is how I meet my life's saviour.
A guy like that is totally straightforward
once he crosses the line.
Oh, that's hot.
But who's making our Yeon Woo care so much?
I know. She oddly makes me care.
Hey, Kang Hoon. Someone is following me.
- Han So Jin! - Ms. Han So Jin.
(All people, incidents, and backgrounds)
(in this drama are fictitious and unrelated to reality.)
Dad!
Dad, I'm here.
Get up, Dad!
(Sim General Hospital)
I'm so scared
Excuse me, Ms. Han So Jin?
Try opening your eyes first.
Are they open?
- Are they open? - Yes.
Then can you let go now?
What?
You're so reckless.
Why am I lying down like this?
I think I might be able to explain if you get off me.
I'm sorry!
What is this? So Jin?
Han So Jin!
- Are you all right? - I'm fine.
Why are you always so nosy? Why were you up there?
Some people faint while falling.
Some even suffer heart attacks.
If you're unlucky, you could miss the mattress
and suffer from aortic rupture.
Ms. Han might not be lucky,
but I tend to have luck.
How do the two of you know each other?
You need to see a doctor first. Both of you.
- No way. - I'm fine.
But she made it.
We don't want to see anyone else die in front of our eyes again.
I won't ever let that happen again.
Just a minute.
Mr. Sim!
I thought you were dead.
- Are you okay? - Yes. I'm fine.
Are you all right?
Let me check on you first.
Knowing Yeon Woo,
I know he'll save Ms. Yoo.
As far as I know,
he deeply cares for his patients.
What are you doing?
- What? - I said, what are you doing?
- I - Hurry.
I fell with my nose in his armpit.
- His sweat stank. - Darn it.
You were between life and death, and you were smelling his sweat?
Exactly, I find it strange too.
But
It smelled nice.
Dad. Have a shot.
I won't let you drink alone today.
Here.
One for me too.
This is so strong!
How did you drink this every day?
- You! - Ouch.
Didn't I tell you not to drink at a place like this?
We received a report of an abduction
of a female college student around here.
Hey. Do you have a tracker on me or something?
I know all your pit stops.
Gosh.
What?
I told you not to cry by yourself.
Get up. Let's go to our restaurant. I'll make you some noodles.
I already knew
Dad would die.
He freed his bird
and gave away the plants he loved to our neighbours.
I knew he couldn't drink hard liquor,
but he bought kaoliang liquor from the store every day.
I knew it all.
But
I acted clueless
because Dad looked so unhappy.
Me, So Ri, and Mom
We hated Dad for being in love with someone else.
I hated him for saying he wanted to die.
I'm the biggest sinner.
- So Jin. - He didn't call any of us
before he died.
Not me, So Ri, nor Mom.
None of us would've given him
the reason to live anyway.
Dad!
Did you see that? He just breathed out!
Did you see? I saw him breathe out with his nose.
It's the air that was sitting in his lungs coming out.
Kang Hoon.
Please save Dad.
Just for ten minutes.
No, even just a minute.
I have something to say to him.
I have to tell him I'm sorry.
I have to ask for his forgiveness.
I have to tell him I love him.
I never got to tell him
Dad, wake up.
Dad, I'm here. Get up, Dad!
So Jin.
Just find a man like your dad.
Someone who loves you dearly.
Someone who sticks by your side
until you get sick of him.
I want you to be happy.
Because everyone I save
has to be happy.
But I couldn't save
your dad.
Is that why you're still saving people?
Here.
It's an herbal hot pack.
Microwave it for two minutes, and put it on the shoulder and back.
I'm not so good with heat
I think he might be in more pain than I am right now.
He? Who?
Mr. Sim.
That single moment to meet each other
That one moment where they can meet
could be the most precious thing in the world.
Might be more precious than forever.
Why did I suddenly say that?
But being nosy
saved a life.
That single moment to meet each other
might be more precious than forever.
He remembered what I said.
If they could breathe again even if it's just for a minute,
I'd do everything for them and tell them I love them.
I could give up my life for them.
I know how it feels.
But she made it.
We don't want to see anyone else die
in front of our eyes again.
Right
It's none of my business.
Are you all right?
Let me check on you first.
(Episode 3: The Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene)
- Hands up. Jab. - Next. Body.
- One, two. - One, two.
- Jab, one, two. - Okay, straight.
- One, two. Okay. - Jab.
- One, two, right. - Jab.
- Jab, one, two. - One, two. Duck.
- One, two. - One, two.
One, two, duck. Focus.
- Focus. - Okay.
We'll go from one, two, duck, to weave.
Ready, go.
One, two, duck, weave!
How wild.
You have to focus.
- Stop looking out the window. - Sung Mi.
Why not just kill that sandbag?
Just rip them all open, won't you?
Do you want to spar with Do Wan?
I could give you some guidance.
I'd love to.
Shall we see how good you are, Do Wan?
Go easy on him. You'll kill someone if you hit people like you do bags.
Let's stay healthy and pure.
Fight!
- Fight! - Yes!
That's it. Go.
- Get into position. - Let's go!
Position yourself.
Move.
Let's go!
That's it!
Focus!
No, move out!
Stop! Enough!
Stop hitting her!
What?
That's it!
Good!
Nice! Yes! Nam Sung Mi won!
Hey. He must be a huge fan of yours, Yeoksam-dong Fire Fist.
No, I just
You won and all, so give your fan some love.
What are you talking about?
Should I give him some love instead?
- Here, take this! - Hey!
I'm sorry. Please hand it back.
No, that's okay.
I'll put it in the towel collection bin.
Wait
Darn it.
(Iroun Genetic Center)
A Ri.
Hear me out.
It was an impossible situation,
but I could somehow smell a scent on that man.
What could be that scent?
Are you on about scents again?
You'll have to test it out to see if it's real or not.
Just dip him in.
- "Dip him?" - Yes.
Dip him in alcohol.
A Ri?
So Jin. I read this in a book somewhere.
They put the human body in alcohol,
and the alcohol can extract
the human scent.
A Ri, I'm not in the mood for strange jokes.
How can you put a human in alcohol?
That's a great idea.
- What? - That's right.
The brave always finds their fate.
Right I was talking about a serial killer.
Sorry about that.
I'm going to steal
that scent.
Not again
What is it? What's the matter?
I started an affair today.
A tank cut into my lane.
What are you talking about?
Yeoksam-dong Fire Fist's name is Nam Sung Mi.
You told me to try having an affair,
so I signed up at a boxing gym.
Is her name Nam Sung Mi?
Really? How was it?
Great. It was nice. I mean her scent.
What is this? What scent?
Anyway, be careful.
If they suddenly cut in front, they might make a sudden stop.
Keep your balance or you'll fall.
I can take care of myself.
You know we're playing a basketball game
against Energetic Urologists, right?
Right, was that today?
But Nurse Pyo is out on reserve forces training.
Darn it, Nurse Pyo.
That means we're one man short. What do we do?
There's no one else from my department.
Hey, let's get someone external.
I know someone
who is a firefighter and is into martial arts.
- Who? - A firefighter?
I can bring someone external.
No! Their ace is 2m tall.
They'll be hard to fight against.
Only Yeoksam-dong Fire Fist can beat them.
Do you know someone?
They better top Yeoksam-dong Fire Fist.
Here's your order.
Thank you.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
Please give me a bottle of sake.
- Sure. - Sure.
Thank you.
What's with you today?
Did you do something wrong again?
No.
You look busy, so I'm just trying to help.
I'm not busy.
- Give it to me. - Okay.
Thanks.
How come your friends never visit your restaurant?
It'd be nice for them to boost your sales.
My friends? Many came already.
Really?
But what about that doctor
from Sim General Hospital?
Yeon Woo?
Right. Mr. Sim Yeon Woo.
Does he come here often?
Well, he comes from time to time.
But
why are you asking?
What? No reason
You two looked close that day.
How do you know each other?
(Yeon Woo)
Look who's calling.
Hey.
Today?
Why? Is something going on?
Basketball?
"Basketball?"
If they play basketball,
I'd be able to collect sweat which holds the human scent.
That's it!
I'm helping my dad at the restaurant, so I can't.
His dad?
No
Yes. Let's play together next time.
Okay.
What?
Kang Hoon.
I think a man looks the hottest when they're sweating.
- What are you talking about? - What do you think?
I mean I want to see you play basketball.
- All of a sudden? - Yes, all of a sudden.
I really want to watch you.
Won't you let me?
Please?
Do your eyes hurt?
Just this once. Let's play basketball.
You should exercise. You should break a sweat.
Come on, let's go. Please?
Mister, please let him go this once.
Let him play basketball.
Hurry up and go, Kang Hoon.
- What? - Now.
- Are you happy, So Jin? - Yes.
Jump ball.
- In front of you. - Pass.
Nice.
Good!
Go, Kang Hoon!
You're doing so well, Kang Hoon! You're so cool!
You better play well today to repay her.
Hang in there, Kang Hoon!
I'm more scared of your fan than you.
Kang Hoon! You're so cool!
Why is she overdoing it?
Nice.
That's it. Run a bit more.
Hey.
Yes, okay.
Hey, pass!
Pass to number seven!
Steal the ball.
Okay.
That fool No.
- Good job - That's it.
- Pass. - Defend.
That's it. Just like that.
Good, keep running.
Good. A bit more. Keep running.
Nice!
That's it
- Hey. - Over here.
That's real.
That's it Yes, that's it.
Gosh
No!
I have to get that.
What a waste!
It's mine!
That's real sweat
Gosh. No
Let's go!
- Good game. - Good game.
- See you again. - Good game.
- Good game. - Good throwing.
- Thank you. - Likewise.
Hey, I thought you haven't played in a while.
- You were good. - I almost died.
- Really? - Yes. You were good.
I'm dying.
Why aren't you wearing number 23 today?
Today? I needed lucky number seven today.
Victorious gentlemen. We have a team dinner after this.
What?
Oh, no.
I have plans today. Should we do it tomorrow?
You arrogant punk. You're seeing a girl again, aren't you?
He already dips out in the middle.
How about you? You're coming, right?
Hey. Where's our goddess of victory?
Jung Tam. I'm sorry.
I have to go to the store right now. Let's eat together another time.
- But you two should go. - Yes. Take him out to eat.
Hey. Forget it.
I don't need you guys. Don't touch me.
- I don't need you guys. - We could
have something to drink.
- Let go. - Wait.
I don't even want to anymore.
You didn't forget about today's exhibition, right?
- See you at 8pm. - Let's go.
Do you think a beverage will make me feel better?
I'll buy you a nice one. I'll buy you two.
Two, my foot Two?
You must be thirsty.
This is my chance
He was number
seven. He was number seven.
Number seven.
Gosh.
I want Pocari Sweat.
Okay. Five of these.
Let's all get the same one.
Where is number seven?
Number seven!
What is she doing?
Here.
I'm almost there.
Almost there.
Put the T-shirt drenched in sweat in a vacuum flask
and age the smell.
When the smell ages,
it becomes the unique scent of that person's body.
How much you like that scent
is the way to measure a DNA lover.
That's because body scent from sweat
is that man's immunity gene.
For their future children, women can instinctively recognize
her man's immunity gene.
DNA lover.
DNA lover!
DNA lover!
Oh, my.
Over there.
Hey, Sim Yeon Woo.
This is the guy I mentioned before.
Nice to meet you. I'm Sim Yeon Woo.
Congratulations on the exhibition.
Thank you.
I really like all of your work.
It's an honour.
Which piece do you like so much?
Well
I see.
Are you drawn to the painting that depicts giving birth
because you're a gynaecologist?
Is that so?
Most of the pieces in this exhibition
were inspired by my pregnancy and experience of giving birth.
Could you tell me what you feel from the painting?
Okay. Well
The face of the mother who gave birth
seems full of fear but also very sad.
Is it postnatal depression?
I drew how I felt after giving birth to my first child.
The feeling that this child will pierce my heart
like a nail.
That they'll hold me back, snap my wings,
eat me alive, and dig my grave. That feeling.
That must be sad for Mi Eun to hear.
Yeon Woo. Mom and I don't share even a drop of blood.
Oh, my apologies.
We're mother and daughter by social connection.
We all have one person we admire.
"I wish she was my mom."
"That must be so nice." Someone like that.
If Mi Eun was my daughter,
I wouldn't have painted something like this.
To me, my husband and children
felt like a barrier.
Right. I have to go because the reporters are here.
- See you again. - See you again.
Did she get a divorce?
Her husband died.
I heard she had two daughters,
but I've never seen them at her other exhibitions.
It seems they basically cut ties.
That might be more comfortable for them.
I think I like her,
but I don't like her.
Someone has caught your eye. What kind of woman is she?
A person, not a woman.
- A stalker. - What?
She's a researcher. The otaku I mentioned before.
Right.
A kind of alternative charm.
She's coming on too strong, but you're interested. Am I right?
I've never felt this way before,
so I'm curious.
(Sim General Hospital)
You're ten weeks along,
and there are no abnormal findings in the ultrasound.
Congratulations. Your baby is growing healthily.
- Really, doctor? - Yes.
I do have one thing that I'm worried about.
My baby's deceased grandfather lost his eyesight.
I suggest a DNA test. You can do it at our hospital.
How does it work?
It won't harm the baby, right?
It's not done directly on the baby, so it's okay. Don't worry.
Before that, the baby's father and you have to do a DNA test.
You can come to the hospital together.
But he's so busy with work.
Then we can take your blood first,
and we'll use an at-home kit for the baby's father.
Nurse Eo Jin Seon here will kindly explain everything.
Okay.
Doctor. Would it be okay for me to ask
what your baby nickname was?
I want a son like you.
I see
You don't know whether it's a boy or a girl yet.
Well, but I still
Well
It was Sinhon.
They gave me that nickname because my mother wanted
her and my father to live like newlyweds forever.
Sinhon.
That's pretty. I'll use that baby nickname too.
Okay.
We have to run the tests for genetic disorders separately,
so get your blood sample first and have it sent here right away.
(Ultrasound Room)
This way.
What was that?
Knock, knock. Ms. Han So Jin.
(Do you like me?)
(Did you take my uniform)
(Ms. Han So Jin. Ms. Heo Ga Hee's prenatal tests)
(Iroun Genetic Center's Han So Jin)
To draw out the scent of the sweat that aged overnight,
add refined alcohol.
Add 1ml of this special reagent
that I perfected after so much trial and error,
vacuum-seal it so it can fully react,
and you can collect that person's pheromones.
Good work.
What? Isn't that Ms. Han?
What did she eat for lunch today?
Spicy pork.
Sim Yeon Woo. Age, 35.
Job, gynaecologist.
His pheromones
smelled like paradise.
It was a sweet and longing scent
that I've never smelled from any other DNA lover candidate.
It makes me feel like my heart will explode from longing.
It's a fatal scent.
Did you smell it?
Does liking someone's pheromones really make them your DNA lover?
Yes.
It smells like a sewer.
Really? It smells like a sewer?
Yes, that's it.
There's no way 23 pairs of 46 chromosomes
can be that simple.
Calm down, Han So Jin.
That only means he passed the first test.
What's the next test?
There's one thing I must check before going onto the next test.
(Super Teol)
He can't have the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene
that makes people flirty.
The Casanova gene is your favourite,
so you'll meet it again someday.
That's why I'll check for that first.
To see if he's a guy with the cheaters' genome
who can't go a single day without seeing a woman.
If the sewer-smell guy also cheats
That's the worst.
But I need to get his approval first.
How could I get that?
Gosh. Someone must be talking badly about me today.
My left ear is so itchy.
There must be more than a few women who talk badly about you.
Well, talking badly about someone means they care in some way.
Should we have the get-together at Munggi?
I'll contact Kang Hoon.
Right. Tell him to invite the goddess of victory too.
Who?
With So Jin?
Hey, Seo Kang Hoon!
Hey.
We're just going to eat. Why did you change?
I felt icky after running tests all night.
There they are.
Let's go in first.
Okay.
Fatal pheromones.
He must not be a cheater, right?
He definitely does look popular with women.
You don't deserve to be loved!
Gosh. I might get cut off before I even get started.
Oh, right.
Not bad.
Yes. The past should be erased.
She could come every week, don't you think?
- Yes, definitely. - She's pretty.
She has to be good at dancing like Irene.
Hey.
- Don't act rashly. - All right.
- We're picky, okay? - Okay.
Show us some moves now.
Now that So Jin is here, please give us a toast.
Give her that glass.
- Right. - Thank you.
Thank you for cheering us on.
It's nothing.
Okay, fill your glasses and bring them forward.
We came.
We went. We fought. We won!
- We won! - We won!
- Good job. - Good job.
Let's see.
I'll serve it for you, Ms. Han.
Okay.
Here you go, Ms. Han.
Thank you.
Have this too while you're at it.
Since when did you like octopus?
We have some things in common.
Oh, I don't like octopus.
Octopuses have reproductive organs on their legs,
so they have sex with their legs.
Pardon?
Pardon?
Oh, so
Male octopuses use camouflage
to approach the females.
And they only do that to the immature, young ones.
I think a bit differently.
Octopuses are good at communion
and are full of motherly love.
They are strong with three hearts.
But this guy
has three hearts.
So why does it love with its legs and not his heart?
Right.
Exactly.
I named the gene I'm researching lately
after octopuses.
Combining "indecent" and "octopus tentacles,"
I named it Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
"Indecent octopus tentacles?"
Humans have a gene that makes them cheat
for generation after generation.
She must've been very hurt by some Casanova.
Do you really believe there's a Casanova gene?
Yes.
I don't believe it. It exists.
The dopamine receptor on chromosome 11
is the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
Normally, people have two.
But some people
have 4 or even 7.
I see.
Hey, you should get that DNA test too.
You have more of anything compared to other people.
He has many hobbies, girlfriends
Exactly. Ms. Han must know better than anyone
whether I have the indecent octopus tentacles gene.
Pardon? Me?
How?
I requested a DNA test before.
Oh, that?
Once we've used the test for its intended purpose,
we dispose of any samples with personal information.
I'm not the type of person
who runs DNA tests out of personal interest.
A researcher I know
stole some guy's uniform.
What kind of personal interest is that?
She was walking like this.
Who knows? Do people do things like that?
- Gosh. - Gosh.
Are you okay?
Give me some water.
Keep coughing. Are you okay?
So the octopus can come out.
Here. Drink some.
- She's going to throw up. - What's wrong?
- Try to spit it out. - Spit it out.
- I should do something. - She's really struggling.
Yes, do that thing.
I'll help you. Okay.
What are you doing?
I'm going to press 5 times, so cough 5 times.
You don't have to do this
I'm going to start.
- One. - Hold on.
- Give us a dish. - Three.
Four, five.
Good job.
Good work. Good job.
Pour me a glass.
Okay.
Hey.
Do you need more help?
I think you have something you need to give back to me.
Pardon? What do you mean
I completely see why you'd misunderstand,
but it's not like that.
I'll get it cleaned and give it back to you.
What?
Do you
prefer that sort of thing
What? Prefer?
No, it's not like that.
I'll tell you. To be honest
I'm listening.
People's sweat
has immunity molecules,
which gives off a unique scent.
The variation of their immunity traits,
which depends on the M, H, and C genes,
causes romantic attraction when someone smells it.
Romantic attraction?
Yes, attraction. That.
Do you need to smell something to know that?
No, it's not like that. Biologically
How was my scent?
Well
Your scent
was attractive to me.
What?
When I was falling from the hospital rooftop,
your scent felt so vivid that I could almost see it.
I've never experienced that before,
and I wanted to know the reason.
That's how I ended up stealing your uniform.
I'm so sorry.
I wanted to test if it was a delusion
or if it was real.
Ms. Han So Jin.
Are you confessing your love for me right now?
What? Confessing my love? No.
Well, I was just saying
- that in - So Jin. Let's go now.
Get up. Let's go.
Oh, right. We should go.
Oh, I should go too.
Ms. Han.
If you're going the same direction as me, I'll take you home.
No, she lives close to my house.
I can take her home.
I'll be sure to return your clothes.
You seem to need it for your research. Just keep it.
It seems like you need it more than I do.
What are you talking about?
Nothing. Let's go.
Bye.
- Come on. - Okay.
Darn it! You annoying octopus!
Why on earth did you get stuck to my throat right then?
Octopus!
What kind of bad connection do we have?
Darn it.
Darn it.
(Casanova gene)
(Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene, get lost!)
I mean, the Heimlich manoeuvrer. Was that really necessary?
Now that I think back, his skills for sneaking in physical touch is
Isn't he obviously an octopus too?
Also, he clearly knew I had stolen
his uniform, but he kept testing me.
Fine. I should make things clear.
I should test him for the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
(Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene, get lost!)
First, I can get the sample from his uniform.
Should I just do it?
No, I can't just do that without his consent.
There's no knowing what might happen later.
But what if he doesn't consent? What do I do then?
That can't happen!
Let me sleep.
Let me sleep!
Hey, why did you call me out on my day off?
If I don't take care of you, you only go to the gym and back.
- What's wrong with that? - Gosh.
- Another serving of sundae, please. - Sure.
What's that?
It's a fire.
Ma'am, let me borrow this water.
- Sung Mi. - Let's go.
I'll evacuate people first. Please call it in!
Okay!
No, I want to make it light, like a handbag.
Oh, gosh.
Please come this way.
Be calm and keep going!
Go.
It's okay.
Is there anyone here? If you're there, yell!
I know.
Are you inside?
Is no one home?
Is there anyone home?
Who are you? What
There's a fire. Didn't you hear the alarm?
No, I didn't.
Is the emergency speaker just for decoration?
You can't just remove it.
That was like that since I moved here
Let's go for now.
It's dangerous to inhale smoke. Cover your mouth and nose.
- Stay low and follow me. - Oh, okay.
Come on!
Crouch down.
Be careful. Just a moment.
Hey, Sung Mi. I found a resident on the eighth floor.
I'm in the emergency stairwell.
We have to go down, but I don't have a clear visual.
No, the stairwell is still fine. Captain came and put out the fire.
Okay. We'll be right down.
But this looks dangerous.
Don't be afraid. Hold on to my arm tightly.
I'm feeling my way down too.
It'll be dangerous for us both if you let go.
Let's go.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Watch out.
- Hurry. - Hurry up!
Are you okay? We're almost there. Just a bit farther.
Over there.
Watch your head.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Hold on to my arm tightly.
You've inhaled a lot of smoke.
You never know, so go to the hospital and get checked out.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
She was on the floor where the fire broke out for a while.
- Please take care of her. - Okay.
- But - Your trachea might be damaged.
Could you try saying something?
What's your name?
Jang Mi Eun.
All units, report to the eighth floor.
The OBGYN Department of Sim General Hospital
consider the parents and child our utmost priority.
From pregnancy to childbirth, we are there for the pain and worry
- of the expectant mothers - I'll get his consent for sure.
We will always try hard so that you can trust us with
Yes?
Ms. Han So Jin from Iroun Genetic Center is here.
All right.
There's a sample of the hair growth suppressant.
You waited too long, didn't you?
It took you a while. I thought you might've given up.
These babies are the tailored samples for your DNA.
I see.
Oh, is that so? Let me test it out.
Wait, but You can't apply it like that.
Then how?
Excuse me.
Wait.
You're sniffing my pheromones again, aren't you?
No, I'm not.
The suppressant has to be absorbed by each and every hair follicle.
There, you're done.
Oh, right.
Mr. Sim.
Have you ever been strongly attracted by the scent
of someone of the opposite gender?
You're asking me what kind of scent I like on a woman, right?
If it's not too much trouble,
could I ask you how I smell?
I can't smell it from here.
Can you come closer?
Oh, wait.
Mr. Sim. There's something I'd like to ask you for.
- What is it? - Well
Mr. Sim.
I want to test your DNA.
- Can you agree - You've already done it.
Not about the hair growth.
I want to know about you in more detail.
Actually,
all of my ex-boyfriends had the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
And that gene took effect, so they all ended up cheating.
So, I really want to know if you have
the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
The Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene?
What you mentioned last time?
Ms. Han So Jin.
Last time, you talked about smells
and told me you had an interest in me.
Is this how you express your interest in someone?
What
My interest?
I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your suggestion.
That's not how a man and woman get to know each other.
You're coming to the restaurant with your mother and So Ri today, right?
(Family Chat)
(I have some good news. Want to come have dinner?)
(So Ri: I'm busy.)
(You'll come to Always Sushi tomorrow evening at 7, right?)
(Chief Director)
Yes, Chief Director.
Hey, I just arrived.
I get aches and pains whenever I come back from a trip.
Are you at the hotel?
Oh, I'm on my way there.
Is your mom doing well?
Her hormone treatment doesn't seem to be working.
I was thinking of switching it.
Have her continue with the psychiatrist too.
She took all of her sedatives at once,
so she's not seeing the psychiatrist for now.
I see.
- The hospital is fine, right? - Yes, sure.
We're going straight to the hotel, right?
Yes. I'll see you when you come to the hospital.
Bye.
Dad, which table is this for? Table Four?
Here is your meal.
- Dad. - Hey.
- Hey, you're here. - Hey.
Gosh, I came to have a drink, but you guys look busy.
- I'll come again next time. - Oh, no.
Most of the customers will be leaving in a bit.
Have a seat here.
- Is that okay? - Yes, it's fine.
Business is booming.
Have you eaten? I'll bring you your usual drink.
Hey, don't do that. Why don't I go and help Dad out?
You know I'm a good cook.
Come on. It's fine. Just sit and wait.
Here is the hot sake you always drink.
- Wait just a bit. - Okay.
Yoon Seob.
Our Kang Hoon is keeping her safe,
so don't worry about So Jin.
I'll take good care of your family
in your stead.
Enjoy the food, and rest up before you go.
Thank you, Mr. Seo.
What's this?
Have you forgotten already? It's Dad's silverware.
Here is your sashimi.
Mother.
Our aged kimchi is really tasty.
Try a piece with the salmon sushi.
Thank you. I'll enjoy it.
Okay.
So Ri, you brat. Turn that off now.
It's because these guys whine by the door when I'm not there.
You listen so well to Kang Hoon.
Kang Hoon has a smell that doesn't exist in our family.
The smell of a human being.
I'll bring you plum juice when you're done eating.
Take your time and enjoy.
A man's mere wish
was to eat a meal with his family.
That's why your dad's life ended like that.
Keep that in mind.
Even family becomes a nuisance if you don't make a decent living.
It's worse than being strangers.
Even strangers say stuff like that to one another.
To someone who was the breadwinner his whole life,
you could say things like, "Good job," "You worked hard,"
and "It's fine."
Have you ever said anything like that to our family members?
It's not like I owe you anything.
Why do you expect so much from me?
I guess it's my fault for being born your mom.
All of you, quiet down!
Can't you just stop?
People have the right to be forgotten.
You don't even remember properly, and you've already forgotten?
Was that why you always yelled at Dad like he was nothing?
Who was it that blocked Dad's number?
Han So Jin, think about it.
Dad died because of you.
- What? - You two.
Do you know what you inherited from your father?
It's depression.
You, So Jin.
Do you know what you always said as a teenager?
"I was hurt." "I'm suffering." "I want to die."
"I didn't want to give birth to you, but I was forced to."
Seeing how I heard that growing up, I think my depression came from you.
How depressing would it have been?
To have something disgusting growing inside your belly.
I painted the emotions of when I gave birth to my first child.
It felt as though she would pierce through my heart like a nail
and stab me.
Hey.
Why do you always have such high hopes?
Do you still not know that there is no love among our family?
Right. I was wrong.
We're the survivors of suicide and accomplices in doing that to Dad.
But at least for today
I thought we could act like a normal family.
Just an hour to eat together while Dad is watching.
At least for an hour,
I thought we would be a family.
You must feel better to stab someone else.
But what have you done?
Did you really not know that your dad
would leave like that?
- Kang Hoon. - Excuse me.
Just leave her alone.
Excuse me. We still haven't gotten the sushi we ordered.
(The Best Firefighter Seo Kang Hoon)
It's cold, isn't it?
Gosh.
Ta-da.
Were you at the restaurant the whole time?
Then, perhaps
You must've really liked your father.
I did.
Of course, Dad loved Mom more than me.
But not everyone is fated for each other just because you love them.
If you only love someone by yourself,
it becomes more painful the more you love.
My experiment might seem funny to you,
but I believe that DNA lovers exist.
Meeting the perfect partner
is the only way to keep the other alive.
To save each other.
My partner
I'll be so good to him once I meet him.
He must've suffered a lot
while we were apart.
The moment someone looks pretty to you
is different for each person.
The moment this woman looks pretty
is right now.
It's weird.
Are you still interested in my DNA?
What?
I don't think you'll solve the problem with your method,
but go ahead and test my DNA.
I'll consent.
- Really? - But
do we have to do this thing again like last time?
No. I can just use your uniform.
My uniform?
You agreed, right?
Thank you!
Oh, my goodness!
Thank you!
Oh, you can't change your mind later.
You can't change your mind later!
Please.
Genes with a great scent.
I hope
it's not there.
(Iroun Genetic Center)
He sure has selfish DNA.
He has everything that's good.
He has quick reflexes.
He has the best long-term and spacial memory.
(All test areas)
What? The
The Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene?
(High)
He was the highest level of cheater with seven of that gene.
Darn it.
The DRD4 sequence listing is repeated at least seven times.
He's the highest level of cheater.
This isn't just about two-timing.
You will be a seven-timer!
No, you'll have too many women to count!
For your whole life!
Okay.
I'll wash your uniform and give it back.
It's fine. I'll do it.
Hey, but one is missing.
What kind of pervert steals a sweaty uniform?
By the way, who wore this?
Keep looking.
Didn't you wear the same number seven as Yeon Woo?
(DNA Lover)
A cheater is my DNA lover?
- Hurry. - Oh, my!
What's wrong with her?
Mr. Sim Yeon Woo has the Indecent Octopus Tentacles Gene.
Who is it?
You can't find destiny through an experiment.
This is how I meet my life's saviour.
A guy like that is totally straightforward
once he crosses the line.
Oh, that's hot.
But who's making our Yeon Woo care so much?
I know. She oddly makes me care.
Hey, Kang Hoon. Someone is following me.
- Han So Jin! - Ms. Han So Jin.
