00:00The last episode of When Life Gives You Tangerines gave us a heartwarming and beautiful ending,
00:04making us cry once again, even until the very end.
00:07Aesun and Gwansik finally enjoyed the fruits of their labor, their family became stable,
00:12Gongmyung became CEO, and Eunmyung and his wife settled down while also helping Aesun
00:17and Gwansik with their business.
00:19Aesun and Gwansik found closure for Dongmyung by visiting his grave.
00:23After years of being unable to talk about him, they finally did, and Aesun even wrote
00:27a poem dedicated to him.
00:28However, their happiness was short-lived when Gwansik was suddenly diagnosed with cancer,
00:33already in its advanced stages, leading to kidney failure.
00:37He underwent treatment, with Aesun personally taking him to the hospital, but his health
00:41continued to deteriorate.
00:42One night, Gwansik asked Gwansik to stay by his side, and they talked all night about how
00:47wonderful her mother, Aesun, was.
00:50At last, he asked her to take care of Aesun for him.
00:53Gwansik refused to listen, unwilling to say to her father, believing he would recover.
00:57Eventually, she broke down, crying and apologizing for the little things, like how she sometimes
01:03got annoyed with them or how she would rush to hang up the phone.
01:06Gwansik reassured her by patting her back, letting her know he never took it to heart.
01:10When Gwansik returned home, the family welcomed him with teary smiles, trying not to cry.
01:16Later, Gwansik appeared on TV as a guest lecturer, where she spoke about Aesun and Gwansik,
01:21honoring their journey.
01:22We also got a glimpse of a museum dedicated to the history and resilience of Jeju's hainyo.
01:27Aesun published her first poetry book.
01:30That night, Gwansik sat outside their apartment, reading it alone, tears streaming down his face.
01:35Aesun gently asked if he was happy, and in response, Gwansik mimicked her signature hand
01:40gestures, just as she would when saying she was happy.
01:43Aesun laughed, and they spent time together.
01:45As Gwansik's final days approached, Aesun lay beside him in bed, crying as he softly
01:50patted her shoulder and sang to her one last time.
01:53When his condition worsened, he was rushed to the hospital, with Aesun, their son, and
01:57their daughter crying by his side.
01:59In his final moments, as he lay in the ICU, he looked at Aesun standing outside the room,
02:04tears streaming down her face as she watched him.
02:07In that moment, they saw their younger selves as they bid their final goodbye.
02:11After Gwansik passed away, the void he left was overwhelming for Aesun.
02:16She stayed in their apartment, but she continued to live and move forward.
02:19Fast forward to 2025, now in her 70s, Aesun returned to their old house in Jeju.
02:25The ending was heartwarming, as we saw Gomyung and Eunmyung visiting Aesun in Jeju, and we
02:30learned that her poetry collection had been officially published, thanks to Gomyung submitting it to
02:35a publishing chief editor company named Chloe Lee.
02:37Later, it was revealed that Chloe Lee bore a striking resemblance to Aesun's mother.
02:42She was also the child of the couple Gomyung had once seen on TV in the 90s, talking about first
02:47love. This same child had found the ring Aesun had thrown into the rapeseed field after a fight
02:52with Gwansik. She was also the little girl who once bought squid with her mother from Aesun at
02:57the market. As Chloe read Aesun's poetry, she unexpectedly started crying, wondering why.
03:02She then said she just felt proud of Aesun. Aesun told Gomyung that she was content
03:07with her life and that it would have been a shame if she had given up halfway. She was
03:11glad she had lived through everything, embracing her poetry collection with happiness. Through
03:16Gomyung's narration, we learned that Aesun lived the rest of her days happy and content.
03:20In the final scene, we saw Aesun and Gwansik in their 20s, taking a photo in the rapeseed field,
03:25happily talking about their future, promising that they would do everything as long as they
03:29were together. And with that, this beautiful story came to an end.
