On the second episode of the new SBS weekend drama "Scent of a Woman", low ranking single lady Lee Yeon-jae (Kim Sun-a) is sentenced to a short life and she cries in sorrow.

At the hospital she visits because of a light accident, she finds out she is at the final stage of gallbladder cancer and has only up to 6 months to love. She then throws her letter of resignation in the face of the head of department who had always stepped on her and yells, "Here's my resignation you bastard!".

She then goes to the bank to collect her savings. When the bank teller asks her how she managed to save so much money, she said, "You don't eat, don't use and don't' buy, wearing cheap T-shirts from the streets and eat street food...then you can do it. I wanted to get married by next year, buy a car and even get a house with a garden in about 5 years later. So I waited and waited. I feel so unfair".

She found the grave of her father who passed away early with liver cancer. She said, "How could you do this to me. Did you have nothing but this to pass on to me? I want to have relationships, to get married and have babies but now I can't do anything. This is all because of you".

She then cried tears of sorrow and let out all her feelings of fear and sadness. Those watching also cried with her.

After the episode, those who watched said, "Kim Sun-a indeed, her tears were the best", "I cried along with her. She's so pitiful and sad", "I was so engrossed in her acting" and more.

Meanwhile, instead of getting treatments for her illness, she decided to go on a vacation and enjoy a luxurious time with what's left of her life. She leaves for Okinawa and coincidentally meets with her handsome head of headquarters Kang Ji-wook (Lee Dong-wook).
