RECAP: Nine ep 9

The episode starts with the highlights of the previous episode:
He successfully gets his dad out of the hospital but only the time of death changed. Then he also finds out that his brother was at the hospital on the night of his dad's death. Sun woo gets confused. Sun woo witnesses the scene of Jung woo murdering his father. He feels wrath beyond control. After losing the slight happiness that he had to help out his brother who is selfish. Eventually, he throws away the incense stick, as he left it in 1992 fire.

The official beginning of episode 9, we are in the year 1992 and its Park Cheonsu’s (Sun woo’s dad) funeral.  Jung woo’s wife and the kid (min young little) enters the funeral hall. Then evil Choi enters and goes to pay respect to Park Cheonsu, when Jung woo sees Choi he starts trembling but continues with the bow respect routine. Choi takes this opportunity to whisper to Sun woo, to not to tremble and to be calm. He continues to say to Jung Woo that the police suspects only him (Evil Choi) so don’t say anything stupid to the police.

Then Choi gets up and then moves towards the mum to say: You have my condolences

Then mum says: There is a witness.I forgot to tell you. A man saw us. What should we do?

UH OH! Then the drama scene skips to---December 31st 2012, 10AM---and Mr. Choi is in his car thinking over what happened at the funeral ceremony in 1992.

Anyway then we flashback to Mr. Choi’s memories where he talks with mum separately outside.

Mum says : I don’t know who it was. But I had seen his face before.
Then Mr Choi asks : Where? Does he work at the hospital?
Mum says : No, at the Theatre.

Mr. Choi goes the theatre and then as if to remind viewers what theatre the scene shows Sun woo’s encounter with mum at the theatre. Then we are back in the car with Mr. Choi, Sun woo’s mum must have said everything about the theatre encounter as Mr.Choi knows about the fact that Sun woo fixed Mum’s glasses.

Mr Choi continues to think: I was worried that he would report to the police or blackmail us. But nothing happened. As nothing happened after the incident in 1992 after a month or even a year,

Mr. Choi thinks to himself I totally forgot about the fact that someone witnessed the incident. Then he looks at the USB stick that he got from Sun woo containing the CCTV recordings.

Mr.Choi then arrives at the DA’s office.

Whilst Mr Choi is probably driving his mind crazy with overthinking and his problems the scene is changed to Sun woo sleeping . Whilst Sun woo is sleeping, Young hoon(doctor friend/chingu) accompanies Min Young out of the house saying there’s nothing to worry about and it’s “men stuff”.  Min young asks reasons and then doctor Chingu says: He was dumped. Thus, he (Sun woo) has his mood swings and heavy drinking etc. Then Min young asks is the girl’s last name is Joo.

But young hoon keeps his silence and changes the subject saying that Sun woo and himself are going to go on a fishing trip when Sun woo wakes up. Doctor chingu says Sun woo will be fine, so don’t call him for a while. As Min young doesn’t even budge.

Young hoon says: I am a doctor! Don’t you trust me? This hurts my feelings.
Then Min young says: You should never cheat on your wife.

Min young continues: You’re a terrible liar; you are going to get caught right away.
Doctor Chingu says: Do I look like I’m lying? Actually, I am really good liar.

Anyway Min young leaves saying she got to go.

So she leaves and doctor just watches her while she drives off and Min young sees that from her car mirrors. But the real reason for Doctor chingu hovering around outside is because he was waiting for the assistant doctor from hospital. They then leaves with Sun woo in the ambulance to the hospital.

We then change scenes to see Min young in her car driving thinking back to when Sun woo said, "You are JOO Min young, even though you don’t remember."

Then the scene changes to Jung woo in 2012 thinking back about when he went to visit Sun woo to the hospital in 1992. Jung woo remember how Sun woo 1992 said, "If I got there earlier I could have saved dad."

Then end of flashback, Jung woo then prints out the resignation document  and signs it. Then Min young knocks and comes into Jung woo’s office saying lets go to lunch, Jun woo hides the resignation paper. During lunch they talk, Min young says how can Sun woo hit you so badly like that. Min young’s mum is so curious why Sun woo hit her husband so bad so wifey came up with an assumption that it was because of money (investment problem etc.). Min young says that’s probably not the reason but just pretend it is because then mum will forgive Sun woo. End of lunch, Min young accompanies dad to the Hospital and leaves.


When Min young is leaving, just her luck her boyfriend drives into the hospital and his with his parents. So it’s something like unexpected family introductions. Then because Min young’s dad didn’t go inside the hospital yet he overhears the introduction conversation near the car so he comes to check as well.

The scene changes to Sun woo’s hospital room, he wakes up to find the doctor and the nurse in his room lowering his blood pressure levels. Young hoon apparently transferred Sun woo to Myunjin University Medical centre from the Hanseo Hospital. Also Young hoon(doctor chingu) is having a meeting  with specialist for removing Sun woo’s tumour. The assistant doctor then asks for Sun woo’s consent signature.

Sun woo looks at the consent form and says, "It is pointless, fool." Then we change scene to the meeting room with Dr. Chingu , the MRI scan I am afraid it’s bad news apparently the tumour has grown abnormally as compared to the MRI scan taken a month ago.

Also not only the scan month ago, when doctors compared the scan taken in the morning and afternoon on the same day the tumour had grown during that time period.

Then, the main doctor who is sitting down says,

Well yeah, it’s the side effect for Re-winding and replaying. So it does make sense why his brain tumour would be fast-forwarding.

In conclusion, the main doctor says: Something can happen to him even tomorrow. There is no point in surgery.

Then Yong Hoon (Dr. Chingu) gets emotional and says but his my friend. Then main doctor scolds Dr. Chingu for not doing the surgery earlier. Dr. Chingu says that’s there was an easier way to fix it , which was like a miracle. That’s why they waited and this happened. Main doctor scolds Dr Chingu more saying aren’t you a doctor so you were going to pray for a miracle etc. “You call yourself a doctor?!"

Dr Chingu says: I think I was out of mind for the last month. What was I expecting?! I’m a doctor as well.

The scene changes again to Sun woo’s hospital room after thinking he decided to sign the consent form.

It’s funny how the two brother signed some kind of form on the same day...

The scene then changes to Jung woo’s office room where he completes the resignation form and just when he is preparing to inject himself with the drug he gets a call from Sun woo.

Sun woo says that he thought he should at least call him(Jung woo) once, he asks Jung Woo to just listen as he (Sun woo) doesn’t feel like having a conversation.

Sun Woo continues: This isn’t up to me to forgive. But let me ask you one thing. You could get her after all that sacrifice. Be responsible. Don’t just depend on drugs. Fight off depression. Be a good doctor, make your family happy. If you can’t even do that, then my life is just too meaningless. Visit mum before she passes. Be a good husband, a good father. That is your duty until your death. Okay?

Sun woo hangs up as he is also crying and mentally and physically tired. As he(Sun woo) tries to put the phone back on the holder he loses consciousness and falls off the bed.  Luckily a nurse comes in a two seconds after Sun woo falling off the bed.

The nurse comes in and click the emergency button and then we scene time travel to...


Yong hoon(Doctor to be) comes excidteldy to Sun woo’s house and rings the bell.. When he enters the house people are gathered talking about Sun woo’s dad.

He finds out from the ahjumma that Sun woo is at the hospital because there was a fire at the hospital and Sun woo’s dad died in the fire.

The screen then splits Young hoon young finding this out and Young hoon(2012) pacing restelssely and praying to God whilst waiting.

The split screen disappears and we are in December 31, 2012-8PM.Whilst Young hoon is praying to God, the nurse comes out to inform that – “The swelling is severe they need to operate now."

Hearing this young hoon (12) runs into the hopsital ward at the same time the screen changes to show young hoon young running out of the house to see Sun woo at hospital in 1992. Then the screen splits to show both past and present runing for the same purpose to see sun woo.

Young hoon young runs and reaches the hospital and then after finding Sun woo’s hopsital room he enters. Worriedly and nearly in the vurge of bursting into tears Young hoon calls out Sun woo’s name.

The scene then changes back to 2012 young hoon version where he too runs around the hospital corridors to find Sun woo near the elevator. Then Young hoon 2012 walks closer to Sun woo’s 2012 bed. Sun woo slowly open his eyes and turns towards Young hoon.

The scene changes again to show Sun woo young waking up and turning towards young Hoon young in 1992.

Sun woo young asks: Ya! Why didn’t you answer your pager?
Young Hoon replies: I left it at home. I was waiting for you. I just got here from Chuncheon.

Sun woo continues: Did you hear, Dad passed away.

Then the scene changes back again to show Sun woo 2012 saying,

Sun woo continues: I know you. You would have forged it even if I didn’t sign it. Just kill me in peace.

Then Young Hoon 2012 says,

Sun woo then says (in a unbelievable joking way) : You’re going to save me?
Young Hoon says: I will! I will save you, just watch!
Sun woo says (while pointing at Young Hoon): You’re a liar.

The Sun woo is taken into the elevator to be taken into the operating room. Young Hoon just watches Sun woo being taken and just holds back his tears. Whilst young Hoon’s younger self is crying buckets in 1992.

Anyway then still in 1992, Sun woo makes the aunt who is looking after him to leave the room to get some ice water. Then Young Hoon and Sun woo are left in the room alone,

Sun woo says (to Young Hoon): Do you know how long I waited for you. Dad died because of me.I could have stopped it. But I couldn’t. A man told me...

Then young hoon asks: Who said that?
Sun woo says: I did. Me from 20 years later. He came from the future.

But too bad the future version is preparing to undergo a serious operation. The screen changes to  the operating room preparing for Sun woo 2012’s operation we come back to 1992. Sun woo 1992  is showing the ID card that he got from 2012 version to young Hoon 1992...

After looking at it young hoon says: He looks like you.
Sun woo says: Of course it does. It’s me. I did not believe it at first. But now I have to believe it. He told me someone else is going to die besides dad. He didn’t tell who, he said he will tell me today. It’s not time yet. What if someone dies again? What if it my mom or my brother.
Young hoon: That’s not going to happen!
Sun woo: I didn’t think my dad will die either. Who know what could happen. Go see him for me. I can’t even get up.

The scene is changed back to 2012, and Young Hoon is prepared for the surgery. He is looking at his phone thinking over whether to call Min young as last time she called she said to inform her when she needs to know about Sun woo as she is his (Sun woo’s) family. Young Hoon clicks the call button.

The scene changes to where Min young is currently working to get coverage shots of the New year’s eve party at the City.

She gets a call but it’s not from  young Hoon but it’s from her boyfriend. Who called her to say that his parent loved her and basically proposed to her to get married next year spring. Min young receives this proposal with surprise and does not accept it straight away. She says she will call him back later to discuss the issue as it is very loud and she can’t hear anything properly. She puts the phone into her bag, and when the call from young hoon is received by the phone. Obviously she doesn’t hear it and thus it’s left unanswered.

Young Hoon then decides to text Min young but is stopped as the nurse comes out to inform that the other doctor has arrived. The scene then changes to 1992 to again, Young Hoon 1992 is riding his bicycle to the meeting place set by Sun woo 2012.

Whilst his waiting the screen changes back to 2012 show the operation room all ready to begin the operation.

The scene then changes to 1992 again, young hoon young is waiting as more time passes still waiting. Waiting..He thinks to himself “It’s impossible."

The scene changes back to 2012 again and the doctor is surprised about how Sun woo was even able to talk during news broadcast. The scene changes back again to Young hoon young waiting in the cold.

Sun woo young is also awake thinking about what Sun woo 2012 said “ There is another life you must save” . When his in midst of thinking Sun woo young gets a call from Young hoon young to say:

But Sun woo’s pager is at home, so Young hoon leaves the meeting point to go to Sun woo’s house to get his pager. Young hoon young goes to Sun woo’s house and checks Sun woo’s pager but there are no messages.

The scene changes back to the operation room and the main doctor asks how long it has been. It has been 2 hours and 30 minutes, which is not good. It is also the same amount of time Young hoon 1992 has been waiting at the meeting point.

Then at the operation room the surgery point starts bleeding , heart rate lowers...

The scene change again to 1992 and Sun woo young is still thinking about what his 2012 version said. Then Sun woo young gets a call again from Young Hoon (his at Sun woo’s house) to say that there weren’t any message received by the pager.

Young Hoon: You know what I think? He could be the arsonist. May be he told you the wrong time on purpose, so you couldn’t get to your father. I think that’s what he did. Let’s call the police.
Sun woo young: It’s not that. I should have saved father. But it didn’t go well. I think something else went wrong.
Young Hoon: What do you mean?
Sun woo says: I think the person who is going to die is me. He is not calling because he can’t. Because I’m dead.

Young Hoon then says: What are you talking about? You’re alive. You’re talking to me.
Sun woo young says: I mean me 20 years later. He said I was 38 years old. I’m dying at 38. So he came to alert me. He didn’t tell me because I would get scared if he told me. Right?

The scene then changes back to the operating room in 2012. Everyone is hurrying around looking at the blood pressure rate, controlling the blood coming out from the brain etc. when the main doctor says: Lets close him up.
Young hoon alarmed say Doctor!
Dr. Main says: That’s enough. Let’s stop. We’ve done enough. You don’t need to feel guilty.
The Dr. Main leaves telling Dr.Go to finish it up.
Then when the Main doctor leaves young Hoon says: Stop. I can’t let him go like this. Hang on” he then takes control.

Then one of the doctors says that they need to close (Sun woo) up because that’s only way he will be able to live at least for few more days. Young Hoon continues to look from the magnifier...

Then scene changes back to the conversation with Sun woo and young Hoon in 1992.

Young Hoon (whilst looking at the ID card still at Sun woo’s house):  Why are you dying at 38? You look fine.
Sun woo young: How would I know? I didn’t get to hear him. What if it’s real. I don’t want to die that young.

Young hoon then says: Don’t believe in that! You’re not going to die.
Sun woo:  Why isn’t he showing up then? If he’s not dead.

Then both of them pause and does not talk for a while. The scene changes back to 2012 operating room. There's no progress in the operation and the blood pressure levels are dropping.

Young Hoon 2012 continues to operate. The scene changes back again to 1992.

Young Hoon young says: Shut up! You’re just sick. People tend to have bad imaginations when they are not feeling well. My mom said that. I will get there right now. Sleep a bit.

Then young hoon 1992 hangs up, then the scene changes back to 2012 operating room again .

The blood pressure levels continue to drop and young Hoon is sweating. Then blood spurts out from the operating brain section and splashes onto Young Hoon’s face. Blood pressure levels continue to *beep beep* and becomes lower and lower. But young Hoon still continues operating. The scene changes back again to 1992, after Young Hoon 1992 ended the conversation with Sun woo 1992.  Young Hoon looks at the ID card and then looks around Sun woo’s room.

The scene changes back to 2012 and Young Hoon has begun to give (I don’t what this is called even though I know what it is..) Young Hoon does shock treatment to keep the heart alive?

He continues doing this while saying: Please .Please.

Sun woo’s eyes seems slightly open right? But I think it closes again. The blood pressure rate sounds the “Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Then the scene changes back to 1992 young Hoon thinking whilst looking at Sun woos 2012 ID card.

Then the scene changes back to the operating room in 2012 and Young hoon is the only one left and the other doctors have left the operating room. Young hoon 2012 falls to the ground not being able to accept this reality.


The scene change back to young hoon young 1992, he sighs and switches off Sun woo’s table lamp. The scene changes again to the operating room in 2012 where they are closing Sun woo 2012’s face with the white cloth *T-T*  Then the operating lights are switched off.  Then we watch as young hoon 2012 cries for his friend.


Whilst his crying he gets a call from Min young, Young Hoon cries a little bit more when he sees Min young call nevertheless he picks up the call.

Min young says, that it was too loud, so sorry for not picking up the call. She asks what happened.
Then Young Hoon says: Sun woo… (Whilst his saying that background sound from Min young’s side is counting down 3….2…. for the new year as she is still at the city).
So when everyone is counting down and when they say  1!  Young Hoon says: Sun woo Died.

Min young still doesn’t hear anything because everyone is screaming and it’s the end of year fireworks display and everything. So Min young moves away a little bit more and asks again and when Young Hoon decides to tell again “Sun woo..”  But his stopped mid-sentence as he gets the memory re-updated swirl moment.

Ok so…we go back to 1992 again and Young Hoon 1992 gets up to leave from Sun woo’s room but he drops a coin. The coin rolls between the two drawers cupboards, when his picking up he also gets hold of the pills satchel the Sun woo 2012 dropped when he was struggling with sun woo 1992 last time he came to his room.

Young hoon 1992 looks at the packet and it’s from Hanseo hospital. Then the scene changes to show Young hoon 2012 hangs up on min young and runs out of where he was sitting and goes to the operating room where Sun woo 2012 was in, and asks where the patient is and finds out that he was taken to the ICU and Young Hoon 2012 runs there.

Then we are back in 1992 again. Young Hoon 1992 calls Sun woo 1992 to say:

Sun woo: Disease. What disease?
Because Young Hoon is a smart doctor-to- be he says: Hurry up and call a doctor.

The scene changes again and young hoon 2012 is running around corridors trying to catch up to the people who are moving Sun woo 2012.

The scene changes again back to 1992 and Young hoon 1992 is talking with the doctor, his describing the pills and reads out the inscription in one of the pills.. "T.E.M..."

The scene changes again to 2012 and Young hoon 2012 finally came to where Sun woo 2012 is breathless.

The scene changes again to 1992, Young Hoon continues to read ..”O.D.A.L”.  The doctor then says.

Then Young Hoon asks: What is that?
Then the awesome doctor says: It’s a brain tumour and then !!!!??!!! I’m so excited

The scene changes again to show Young Hoon 2012 slowly approaching the covered body to reveal the face. (Then a stupid advertisement goes !!!) Then


One of the office rooms opens to show that Sun woo is well and his broadcasting the news on  new year’s day!!

Wahh so refreshing!! I know there’s going to be 10 more episodes to go through now but this is soo good.  I’m just smiling so happily this is probably the first time I’m so happy for an awesome ending midway! As I recap whilst I’m watching, the excitement hasn’t died down so sorry for the random comments everywhere.  I’m soo happy it’s unbelievable.  It seemed so long when I was recapping because they were showing past and present back and forth. Wahh I love it.

Even-though I knew that Sun woo can’t die that early as it is still halfway through the episodes, I just thought that maybe the incense stick didn’t burn and somehow it ended up with 1992 sun woo. But I never expected this twist wahhhh I love it. Anyway hope everyone enjoy ep 10. I need to go watch it now :D Even though the review looks heart breaking again.
