- Instructor.
- Yes.
Would you take a look at this gauge
to see if it's leaking?
Oh?
It does leak.
It's a good thing you caught it.
I bought it used, off of the internet.
Have you been using it?
No, this is the first time of using it.
You should tell the person
you bought it from that it leaks.
I'm sure he didn't sell it
knowing it was broken.
If he didn't use it recently,
it's possible he didn't know.
I'll give you another one to use.
- Hyung.
- Yes.
You're not going in until later, right?
The guest's gauge is broken.
You'll have to let him borrow yours.
Okay.
Her face got smaller overnight.
Ji Hye's.
She ate your food,
went to school with your money,
and even now is continuing to be
in your debt.
I'm sure it must have
pierced her conscience.
Your sister-in-law also worked and there are
no debts between parents and children.
Your love and care was only one-sided
when it comes to Ji Hye.
Her behavior is just ungratefulness
toward you.
That's not what it is. What she's feeling
is completely understandable.
That's why there is a saying that you
should be careful about taking in strays.
Blood is thicker than water.
If she didn't have any feelings
about her birth father,
I would actually be disappointed in her.
If you feel bad about it,
be honest and say so. I would understand.
I'm not in the mood to go over
a lot of material...
and most of the preparations for
the show are complete.
Let me be a little lazy today.
Go ahead and do that.
You've finished going over
the contract with the publisher?
Yes. Would you like me
to make you a cup of tea?
No, I'm fine.
Yes, Unni.
It's me.
Ji Hye went to Seoul.
Have you heard from her?
I'm waiting for her right now.
I have a favor to ask of you.
I'm asking because I still cringe when I think
back to how your family treated me before.
Please don't speak negatively
to my daughter.
And don't forget she's pregnant.
So please refrain from saying anything
that would be upsetting to her.
I'm fifty years old now.
I've matured so don't worry.
Thank you for letting her come.
I was going to call you
after I've met with Ji Hye.
One more thing...
Ji Hye isn't naturally warm and friendly.
Even if she says something
that sounds harsh,
please let it go as coming from someone
who held it inside her entire life.
I'll handle it fine so don't worry.
I think Ji Hye's here, Unni.
Don't tell her I called. Goodbye.
Honey, I think she's...
Excuse me. Are you by any chance...
Yes. I'm Ji Hye's aunt.
Hello. I'm Ji Hye's husband.
You're Ji Hye.
Sit. Please sit.
Yes.
Honey, I'll...
Sit. It doesn't matter. Sit down.
Would it be all right for me to stay?
If it's okay with Ji Hye,
it's okay with me. Sit.
Your dad wanted to see you so badly.
If you were going to come like this,
I wish it could have been a little earlier.
Your mom is really cold hearted.
Mom did that out of concern for me.
She was concerned for you but she had
long held hard feelings, probably.
First...
I think he wrote this
right after your mom came to visit.
He asked me to find out your address
and send it to you.
He gave it to me 2 days before he died.
The other is a picture of your dad.
Honey.
He was about 45 years old in that.
I looked for a picture of him
when he was young.
I wanted you to think well of him.
Isn't he handsome?
He was very good looking.
My daughter Ji Hye
whom I longed for my entire life,
by the time you read this,
I would have said goodbye to this world.
Your mother asked me
why I never came to see you.
My answer to her
was that I felt too badly toward you,
and that I didn't know what to say to you.
That's the truth, Ji Hye.
I wasn't worthy to stand in front of you
and tell you I was your dad.
I'm a man...
who committed a great sin against
the only woman I loved, with bigamy.
And to you, I was an irresponsible man.
How can a person like that
expect to hear the word "dad" from you?
This undeserving dad
has only one hope from you.
That is for you to not think
I ever forgot you.
As long as I was alive,
I've never forgotten you.
Please believe it.
I came to this world and leave behind
only a life full of heartaches.
To me,
your mother gave a wonderful parting gift.
How can you be so beautiful, Ji Hye?
I repent a million, a hundred million times.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
I'm sorry, Ji Hye. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll do that. Please give it to me.
No, that's fine.
Please let me do that.
Don't worry about it and do your own work.
Teacher...
You're not married yet.
You can do this after you get married.
And right now, I need to do this.
Go back in there.
I said to go back in there.
Your dad got married
in his 2nd year of college.
He had a son already by then.
Five generations of our family
had only sons.
My mother was going to the temple diligently
to pray for another grandson
when the family was turned upside down.
My sister-in-law was the daughter
of my father's good friend.
Even as children,
my sister-in-law and brother were called
daughter-in-law and son-in-law
by each other's parents.
Back then,
those marriages were still common.
It may have been a loveless marriage
but still,
the person who needed to back out
was your mother.
If you had been a son, I'm sure she
wouldn't have been able to raise you.
Our family was especially greedy for sons.
Then no matter what,
I wouldn't have been able to grow up
with both parents.
Your dad took your picture with him.
From the day he received your picture,
it never left his hands.
And he said his son-in-law
looked like a good man.
He was thrilled to see your daughter
resembled you.
How... where did you put him to rest?
He wanted to be buried in the mountains.
It's in his hometown of Kang Neung,
in the Sun Mountain forest.
Can you take me there?
Honey, that's too much for you.
How long does it take to get there?
It'll take about 4 to 4.5 hours.
That's 9 hours round trip.
We can stay overnight.
You just got here on a plane.
You're going to get in a car
and drive for 4.5 hours.
Then tomorrow, you'll drive back
for 4.5 hours then get on a plane again.
Even if we stay overnight,
it's still too hard on you.
But, honey...
No.
I can't permit it. Give it up.
I'm sure Father will understand and
he won't want you to push yourself either.
After you've had the baby and recovered,
come back then.
Call Mother. If she gives you permission...
fine, if she gives you permission...
No. Even if she gives you permission,
I still won't.
You can't do this.
What did I come here to do?
You received a picture of Father
and a letter from him.
I don't want you
pushing yourself either, Ji Hye.
Just go home this time and come back later.
I didn't know you took him to your hometown.
After he got sick,
he stayed in his home there.
Father, your lunch.
Eat your lunch.
Where did your mother go?
I'm not sure where she went.
She left without saying anything, Father.
She should say when she's leaving
or when she's coming back.
She should say something when she leaves.
Yes.
When did she leave?
I don't know.
What do you know?
Just a minute, Father!
Let me see your phone.
So I can call Mother.
Right. The phone.
The phone.
Here.
I'll do it. I can call her.
Hello?
It's lunch time
and you're gone without feeding me.
Go to the big house and eat what's there.
Where are you
and what craziness are you up to?
This old man... the way he talks...
I left because I couldn't stand to see you
lying there anymore.
What business is it of yours where I am
and what I'm doing?
Mother, it's me.
Feed your father his lunch.
He's eating right now.
Where are you, Mother?
Where else do I have to go?
After sending Ji Hye to Seoul,
you're probably a bundle of nerves,
I couldn't stand seeing your Father
sprawled out like he was,
so I came to vent to Buddha
and pray for peace for you.
After your father finishes eating,
give him some digestive aids.
He hasn't been able to digest his food
since last night,
probably from Sehwa's mom
going like she did.
Yes, Mother.
Hang up now.
She's at the temple, Father.
Do they give her food there
or clothes there at that temple?
What good ever come of her going
to that temple of hers?
He never said much.
Even during family events,
he'd go off by himself and read a book.
He didn't spend a lot of time
with family members.
We all thought he was still angry over
what happened with your mom.
We talked about you between ourselves
but never mentioned you in front of him.
None of us knew how much he missed you
during all that time.
After 5 years of illness,
he asked us to have you come see him.
He cried like his heart
was being torn apart.
I started to understand how much
he missed you all those years.
If your mom hadn't remarried, I'm sure he
would have looked you up already.
She couldn't not get remarried.
For my sake, if nothing else.
Yes.
My dad is a wonderful man.
Mom is happy and I receive a lot of love.
Yes. What a relief that is.
Ji Hye,
your aunts want to see you
and are waiting for my call.
I don't want to meet them.
You don't?
I heard they treated my mom harshly.
They couldn't have acted differently
in that situation.
After I have the baby, I'll come back again.
After that, I don't think there'll be
any reason to see each other again.
I just have to visit my dad once.
I'm finished after that.
Your siblings have all turned out well.
I have no interest in them.
You take after your dad.
He was always definite about everything.
All except the situation with your mom.
Yes. What's up?
I'm calling to see how Ji Hye is doing.
Ji Hye went to Seoul with her husband
early this morning.
Why Seoul?
She'll probably go to see her dad
with her aunt.
I'm not sure.
That's what your dad and I are guessing.
What about you?
I came up to your room to clean it.
How are you feeling?
I don't feel that great.
It feels like there's something the size of a fist
and I can't tell if it's hurting or squeezing my heart.
Is your breathing okay?
It's nothing like that.
Don't worry about me.
I'm saying useless things here.
Have you eaten lunch yet?
Kyung Soo brought some chicken.
We're going to eat in the car.
Why? Isn't it uncomfortable in the car?
No, it's not uncomfortable in the least.
He turns the air on to freezing point
so it's nice and cool.
Okay. Eat before it gets cold.
Hang up and eat.
Kyung Soo wants to say hello.
It's me, Mother. Have you been well?
It's been a long time since we've seen you.
I heard your father's been ill.
Yes. He was discharged today.
Good. See you this weekend.
Yes.
Hang up. Hang up and eat.
Yes, Mother. Be well.
You, too.
Let's eat.
Okay.
This place doesn't seem to use good oil.
What now?
What's wrong with the color of the crust?
It's too dark.
You complain too much. Just eat it.
This isn't right.
What this time?
The batter isn't right.
It needs to be crispy but it's chewy.
You don't know how to make anything
but just because your mother is a cook,
you just shoot off at the mouth.
I think I need to take the crust off.
- Give it to me.
- Why?
So I can open the window and toss it out.
- Okay, okay. I'll eat it.
- Give it to me.
Here, eat it.
If you're going to take the crust off
of fried chicken,
why not eat braised chicken
and not fried chicken?
Oh man, you're really pushing it.
Do you want some cola?
Later.
What are you going to give me
for my birthday?
What would you like?
You. In whole.
It's on a weekday
and now with Ji Hye's situation,
I don't think my mom
can throw you a birthday party.
Oh, were you thinking of a party from her?
Because you're alone.
My family doesn't leave anyone alone from
the time they learn that person's name.
I was going to ask her.
She has enough on her hands
without adding my birthday.
Just sleep at my place the night before.
We'll have some seaweed soup
in the morning...
and for dinner, let's get dressed up
and have steak and wine.
That'll cost too much money.
Let's just put on shorts and T-shirts
and go to the soup joint and have soju.
Just wait until your birthday.
I'll take you to a barley place.
Are you prepared for your lecture?
I have the knowledge
as the basic foundation.
The way I see it,
your basics aren't that great.
What's wrong with you?
Isn't there a way for me to quit being
a doctor and spend my time picking on you?
What?
How about opening a ramen house?
Or how about selling fruit?
How about selling alcohol? Like a wine bar.
Not that because of the wolves
that'll come after you.
You liked it that much? That much?
Where are the tissues?
Aren't you going to eat?
I am.
I'll finish it, so you go in and eat.
I'm done. The kids aren't calling.
What's Lee Seobang's problem?
I'll call him. You go in and eat.
Sister-in-law. Would you like me
to take you for a drive around the island?
You can check out how nicely
the car performs.
Some other time. I'm not in the mood
for that right now.
That didn't work.
You're right.
What about you?
I'm bringing it right now.
Up, up, up!
Even when I'm so tired and the
inside of my mouth feels like cotton,
I say this to myself.
Up, up, up.
If I stay down, it affects everyone
at Bul Lan Ji. Up. Up. Up.
I...
yes, I always think I have to make sure
everyone in the family is cheerful.
How can I say this?
I lived like I was a human light bulb.
Every morning when my kids wake up,
I wanted them to feel happy
as they start the day.
So even when I'm down, it's up, up, up.
I tell myself my kids are all good.
They're all happy.
I'm content. I'm joyful.
They call me the Superwoman.
Do you know how exhausting
to live your live being called Super?
It's extremely burdensome.
There were times I wanted to cry from it,
Yeon Joo.
I talked to him, honey.
He's buried in Kang Neung, Sun Mountain.
Lee Seobang said the round trip
would take 8 to 9 hours from there.
Ji Hye still wanted to go,
but he talked her out of it.
They're having lunch with her aunt
right now.
Ji Hye seems to be okay
and they'll be back early.
That's good.
I'm going to wash up.
Okay.
Up, up, up, up.
Why isn't Ho Sub calling?
He sent a text message,
asking how you were doing.
He said since you're feeling down today,
he won't call.
Up, up? Do I look down? I'm feeling okay.
If you don't feel good,
just go ahead and not feel good.
It's harder to act like you're not down.
I'm done. It's all over now.
I can't stay down and be a black cloud
over Bul Lan Ji. Up, up.
Play, play, play.
When it's there, you swing.
I know.
Take it!
Take this!
I won. I did, I did. I won again.
I won again.
Cho Rong!
Just a min... Cho Rong!
It's just a game.
If you get mad because you lost,
that's being childish.
Fine.
I said I had to get home early
and you kept me here so I'm late.
It's only an hour.
Let's hurry up and go.
You have to grant my wish.
The loser has to grant a wish to the winner.
That was the bet.
Fine. I got it. I lost.
Here.
What is that?
Isn't this your wish? Hurry up.
If you go over a second, you're dead.
Tick-tock. It's just one second.
That's not it.
That's not my wish.
Then what is it?
You really thought lightly of this bet.
What is it?
No wonder you agreed to it so easily.
I thought it was a bit strange.
What is it?
Getting married.
My wish is to get married to you.
Are you crazy?
Do you really think I'd marry you
for losing at a game?
A promise is a promise.
Don't make me laugh. That bet's void.
Why it is void?
We went into the game without being
specific about the penalty.
Like it's 50,000 won or 100,000 won.
But we did. We said the loser
has to grant the winner one wish.
You didn't say what your wish was.
You didn't ask.
How could anyone imagine that wish
would be to get married?
I assumed it would be a one-second kiss.
If you change the rules like that and
refuse to pay up, that could be a problem.
Report me to the police.
What?
Report me to the police.
Fine. I'll let it slide this time.
A one-second kiss.
You're getting of really cheap.
A one-second kiss.
Close your eyes.
It'll be 10 seconds next time, Cho Rong.
Okay, fine.
What were you going to have me do
if you won?
You want to know?
Yeah.
I'm not like you, going in without a plan.
I was going to ask you to buy me
a fashion watch.
Just that?
I'm a practical person.
Take me. Me.
I'll put a red bow around my neck
and offer myself to you. Okay?
Be quiet. Let's hurry home.
Let's go to buy a watch.
I lost.
Since you lost, it's a fashion watch.
If you won, it would have been a brand name,
jewelry watch.
Honey.
- What?
- Did Father say anything?
No. Why?
Mother's home and she said he's not there.
What?
Father isn't here, Mother?
Call Sehwa's. He might be there.
Yes.
They're not answering?
Oh, Sehwa. I'm calling from Bul Lan Ji.
Did our father go over there?
Really.
Okay, I got it.
If he happens to go there, call us. Okay.
Oh. Okay.
He didn't go there.
When did he leave?
I'm not sure, Mother. He said he was hungry
just before noon, so I gave him his lunch.
After taking his medicine,
he said he wanted to watch TV.
I brought the table back and...
What time is it now?
It's almost 4 o'clock.
Why were you so long at the temple, Mother?
So you're saying you don't know
when he left, is that it?
Yes.
This is the kind of trouble he causes.
This is what he does.
What did I say? I told you he's like this.
I think he might have gone
to the temple to look for you.
Honey, why don't you
hurry over there and see?
Oh, okay. I'll go and see, Mother.
I agree with that.
I think he might have gone to the temple.
If he did, I would have seen him.
I didn't see your father.
You took a taxi.
It's possible you missed him.
Honey, wait a minute!
Mother, the phone. The phone.
Right. Right, right.
Why isn't this old man answering?
Hello?
Where are you, old man?
I came out for some fun.
Where for fun?
I was bored, so I came out to meet a friend
at a coffee shop.
When did you leave?
Not very long ago.
Father, I'll come to pick you up.
Where are you right now?
No need. I'm almost home.
When did you leave? We didn't know you left.
You should tell someone when you leave.
Why didn't you just stay at the temple
and live there?
Father's phone, honey...
I even forget that they have phones.
Just to make sure, I think we need to get
an ID necklace for him.
I thought about that.
I'll tell Ho Sub to order one.
- Do you want something?
- No.
Why do you look so down?
With you like that, I feel down myself.
You know how easily we're affected by you.
But I'm fine.
You are?
Already?
No one's going to give me
a prize drawing it out? I'm fine.
Then will you make me a toasted grain shake?
Sounds good.
I'll bring it right in.
Please wait. We'll be leaving again shortly.
Yes, Chief Officer.
Just unload my travel bag
and leave the rest in the trunk.
We'll unload those at Director Yang's house.
I understand.
Please come this way, Director Yang.
What can we do to make you feel better?
Please tell me
and stop stressing me out like that.
Geum Joo, please give us some water.
Yes.
Please sit, Jun.
Sit.
- Jun...
- I think I was too rash with my decision.
About what?
Our relationship.
About getting too close to you
and making the decision to marry.
What do you mean by that?
Right now, I'm having second thoughts
about us getting married.
But I apologized on his behalf.
This isn't only about us.
Jun...
That the Chairman did a background check on me,
that his people
reported negatively about me,
doesn't make me happy,
but I'm fine with that.
That was in the Chairman's right to do so
and his people thinking I'm nothing is all fine.
And so?
He told me over and over to not even think
about putting my hands on his fortune.
He repeated that until right before we left.
It's Papa's personality...
to make sure over and over and over again.
No matter, to treat his future son-in-law
like that is insulting.
At our first meeting, I made myself clear
that I had no interest in his money.
Is there anyone in that situation
who would have said he was interested?
You must not be very smart.
A hundred out of a hundred men would say
they're not interested in the money.
Of all the men who wanted to be with me,
not one looked like they were after the money.
But neither Papa nor I could trust them.
Are you saying I'm like them?
No. I trust you.
I made the first move with you.
I even wondered
how you described me to your father.
Of course I told him you weren't like that.
But Papa isn't that naive.
He's deeply suspicious.
I can't change the way Papa thinks.
That will change when he wants to change it.
That's just beyond my ability.
Once or twice was more than enough.
He didn't have to say it so incessantly.
Papa doesn't want me to fail twice
at marriage.
Don't you think it's natural for him
to make sure...
of your reasons for choosing me?
Did he make sure the first time?
Did he do a background check on him?
He didn't do a background check. Because his
family's wealth was very impressive.
Then by that, I'm someone that should be
checked out, someone to be suspected!
Because I don't have anything.
This is exactly
why I resisted in the beginning.
I didn't want to be seen as someone
who was after your money.
What's the problem if you're not?
No matter what anyone says,
as long as you know you're not.
Aren't you the person you think you are...
instead of who the world
makes you out to be?
I'm also a person who doesn't want to
hear dirty things about me.
If others say you're dirty,
does that make you dirty?
It makes me feel bad and resentful.
Just disregard it.
That's all you have to do.
I'm not so great a person
to be able to do that.
Just a minute.
I'll be right out after I change.
I'm going home by myself.
- You rest.
- Jun...
I'm going to rethink this.
I am going to think this over.
I will think about whether
this is something I can deal with or not.
I never imagined the Chairman
to be like that.
He should have never given his permission
in the first place.
What is that about? To permit marriage
but to treat me like a thief?
I'm leaving.
What about my return greeting
to your parents?
I'll tell them you stayed on in Japan
for a few more days.
I'll have the car sent back.
Papa, I'm upset!
You were too much, Papa!
You're home?
Yes.
Where's Sister-in-law?
I returned ahead of her.
Does it seem like the Chairman likes you?
No.
He doesn't seem to think
very highly of me, Hyungnim.
Why?
It just... it just seemed like it.
I'm home, Mother.
Oh, good. You're home?
Yes.
You must be tired.
Sister-in-law decided to stay
a bit longer, Mother.
I see. You came ahead because of your work?
Yes.
I'm sure you're tired. Go on in.
Yes.
What about the Chairman?
He won't give his permission?
Not that exactly.
Then what?
It's just... you don't need to know.
I'll handle it.
What is it that you'll handle it?
Byung Jun.
He seems to think I'm after his money.
I let it go the first couple of times.
But every time he sees me,
he said the same thing.
I wondered why I put myself
in that position.
That... that would be upsetting to hear.
I regret it, Hyungnim.
I'm thinking about calling it quits.
What if even after we get married
he keeps it up?
All that's important is for you
to know you're not.
Someone else said the exact same thing.
That's not enough to call it quits.
What does Chief Officer Jo say?
What makes me more upset
is that she took her father's side.
Doesn't that mean
she has the same doubts about me?
Then... she can think that
and still want to marry you?
Probably because someone else
will be handling the finances.
Don't think like that. That seems like
you're misunderstanding the situation.
Then what do you think it is?
Maybe she couldn't say her father was wrong.
I'm sure she's hoping you'd understand her.
That's it. She wants me to let it go.
Then do that for her.
I have no thoughts of it, but he says to me
I'm there to steal his money.
Mom! Mom, Mom, Mom.
Mom!
What?
What? What happened?
Mom, look at this. Look.
Look, look.
You scared me.
You made me jump out of my skin.
Isn't it pretty? Great? The tops?
What is this? Where did you get it?
Unni, what do you think?
Isn't it startlingly great? Right?
It really is very pretty.
What's with all the sparkles?
They're diamonds.
What?
No, they're crystals.
If they're diamonds,
how much would it be worth?
You and Unni are so gullible.
Even crystals sparkle that brightly?
Did you spend all your allowance on it?
Do you think I'm crazy?
What do you think Dong Gun is for?
You used him to buy that for you?
It didn't cost that much, Mom.
Just 444,400 won.
You say you don't like Dong Gun,
so why accept things like that from him?
I told him I didn't want it,
but he nearly forced it on me.
He was near tears, so I finally relented.
What do you think? Isn't it nice?
Doesn't it catch your eye?
Don't they look like diamonds?
You're dating, aren't you?
No.
If you're not dating,
why would you accept that from him?
He kept begging.
Ji Hye's home, Mother.
Oh, okay.
We're home.
I see. Ji Na is over at Young Hoon's.
Go get her.
We already picked her up. She called.
That's good.
Is that all you have to say?
I heard you didn't make it to the cemetery.
No.
I'm glad. You can go later.
That's what I'm planning on.
What are you going to feed me for dinner?
What do you feel like eating?
Mother, why don't you go in?
I think she has something
she wants to say to you.
He asked for it to be given to you?
No. The picture was Aunt's idea.
What is that?
Go ahead and look.
It's better than if he had gone
without any words to you.
Yes.
We didn't talk about much.
There wasn't too much to say.
And there was nothing
I really wanted to ask.
It was mostly Aunt talking.
I see.
She said the other aunts were waiting
to see me but I declined.
There was no reason to see them.
She said he had 3 kids.
And they all turned out good.
I told her I had no interest in them.
They buried him in the mountain.
That's what he requested.
I see.
You have aged kimchi?
Yes.
Make kimchi stew for me.
Okay, I'll make that for you.
Do I have to say I'm sorry?
You don't have to.
I'm not going to. I don't want to.
Even if it was for me, for you to have made
that decision alone was wrong.
If you say it's wrong, then it is.
Even a mother can't always
make the right decision.
I understand.
We're back.
Yes, I saw your husband already.
Aren't you tired? Go rest
and come back over at dinner time.
Yes.
Dad.
Yes.
What?
What's wrong?
I hope you know what's in my heart
without having to say it.
Me, too.
Me too, Ji Hye.
I also hope you know...
what's in my heart even if I don't say it.
Thank you, Dad.
Truly. Really.
Yes. Me, too.
I'm also grateful.
I'm here.
Welcome, Uncle.
Bae or Park, whatever his name is...
ask him to just get me 2,000,000 for it.
No, Uncle. He's not someone
who'll do something like that.
You be quiet.
You got your money's worth out of it.
Don't be so greedy.
You said you don't want it.
I said I'll give it to you for nothing
if you want it.
I'll see if he can get 1,000,000 for it.
Hey, if it's 1,000,000...
Uncle!
Okay, fine. Just get rid of it for me.
I'm leaving.
Oh, wait, Uncle. Uncle!
What?
There's this woman who owns a boutique.
How old is she?
Sit down first.
Just tell me. I don't want to bother
sitting down and get up again.
If you'll just give in on one thing, her age,
I think this can work out.
Tell me first.
She only looks like she's in her mid 30's.
I know her.
Then my car is in perfect condition.
So how old is she?
She's 44 years old.
Why you...!
Why didn't you just find me
a 50 year old who owns a company?
At least then her money
can make up for her age.
She owns a business, too.
She's a hard worker, friendly, and warm.
Most of all, she's got a great personality.
Her boutique is not a hole in wall
but pretty considerable in size.
- Is she single, widow, or a divorcee?
- Once.
She's a divorcee?
The man had an affair, so she walked out
just 3 years into the marriage.
Fortunately, there are no kids.
I'm not interested.
Being divorced is not
that big a deal nowadays.
That depends on the person.
Do you know what kind of person
my 2nd brother is marrying?
Are you trying to get me to vomit blood?
Uncle.
Don't ever try to fix me up
with someone like that again.
What a terrible kid.
Just get my car sold! I'm leaving!
But she does have looks.
You know her?
I can't say I know her but I've seen her
a couple of times, right honey?
You saw her a couple more times than that
since I only buy my clothes from her.
How good looking?
She's quite pretty.
Forget it. Uncle said he's not interested.
You're saying she looks good to you?
She is pretty and subtly sexy.
Okay. If you say she's pretty,
I can believe that.
Hey, go and bring me the bottle of soju
I started. That bottle I opened up.
There's no bottle of soju you have opened.
Give him a drink out of my bottle.
Ji Hye, taste it.
It's good to me.
Let's start.
Thank you for this food.
We'll enjoy.
Chief Officer Jo didn't come back with you?
Right.
It's her family, after all.
Yes.
Did her father seem happy to see you?
What can he say?
He can't eat if you ask him questions.
Fine.
Wait. I'll take the fat off for you.
But I like the fatty parts.
It's fat. It'll make you get fat.
It's not healthy for you.
She takes after me
in liking the fatty parts.
I'm leaving.
Oh, Uncle. You're back?
Yes.
Did you have a nice trip to Seoul?
Yes.
You look good.
Yes.
Okay, then.
Your wallet will get thinner due to dating.
I'm sure so. But not tonight.
Her grandmother has dinner waiting for us.
Go on.
Okay. Is there anything you need?
No, forget it.
No need to make someone else happy.
Enjoy your dinner. Enjoy.
Okay.
What's the rush? We're not in a hurry.
Grandmother is waiting for us.
Hurry up and get in.
Just a minute.
I have a problem. When we don't have a BBQ
for the guests, it makes me really happy.
What if we stop having BBQs
until we get married?
I'm kidding.
You don't say those foolish things
in front of your family, right?
Why is it foolish? It's what I truly feel.
That's why Cho Rong
comes down so hard on you.
She can do whatever she wants.
She'll stop when she gets tired of it.
I think she's already starting
to get tired of it.
Does she still pick on you?
The last few days have been fine.
See what I mean? I told you
she was acting up for no reason.
She's really a good girl at heart.
Among people who have good hearts,
there will be no problem.
The nitpicking in the beginning
is just to get closer.
Wise old Sage, look where you're driving.
I won't be going anywhere, so
you don't have to keep looking at me.
It's possible we may not
get married, Sister-in-law.
What happened?
Uh, that is...
Aren't you being too rash?
Why, Uncle?
I just think maybe
I'm not the right person for her.
What happened?
There's no need to mention that but anyway,
we could decide to not get married.
I just wanted you to know.
It's not like you're kids. Uncle!
Leave him alone.
Like you said, they're not kids.
He must have good reason
to say something like that.
So let us know that reason.
It's not for you to get involved.
Drop it and let's just eat.
On your trip to Japan,
did you feel a personality clash?
- Perhaps.
- Why aren't you telling us?
I told you to leave him alone. He doesn't
want to talk about it so let it be.
You know something, don't you?
Dad knows.
What is it, Dad?
It seems Uncle doesn't want it known.
Don't put Father in an awkward position.
Let's drop it.
We're all really curious.
He must have had his pride hurt quite a bit.
It'll hurt his pride even more
for you to know his pride was hurt.
So let's just let it drop here.
Talk about something else.
I wonder if this winter
will be warm or cold.
How was his pride hurt?
I heard it was going to be cold, Mother.
Right, honey?
So it was about his pride...
Does he want him to become his proxy son?
Japanese people take proxy sons.
Does he want Uncle
to change his surname to theirs, Dad?
No. And they're not Japanese, Ji Hye.
He could have changed his nationality
because of business.
Is that it?
I said it wasn't.
I'm not getting any matches.
How can I not get any?
What am I supposed to throw down?
There's no card for me to play.
You're sure breaking the rhythm
of this game.
Hurry up and play.
I said I don't have any cards to play.
But if you don't play a card,
the game can't continue.
Just play anything.
But I don't want to give up the others.
That's not the card to throw down.
Oh, I don't know.
Look at that. How can this happen?
How can I not get a single matching card?
I'm going.
Fine, go.
Here's the bomb! You know that
doubles the double score, right?
Two "go"!
I told you to not play that.
How can a woman be like this, Grandmother?
She's smart and can figure out
what cards will come up.
Plus she's plain good at the game.
You'll never be able to beat her.
No, I think this is because
I'm so bad at it, Grandmother.
Without being a professional card player,
this isn't possible.
Hurry up and play.
All right already.
What are you doing?
It seems the Chairman...
looked at him like he was after their money.
With that personality of his,
how must he have felt about it?
It's not like he has an ex-wife
or kids to look after.
What reason would he have
to want their money?
Does he have poor siblings to take care of?
How could he treat him like that?
I know.
I can see why he's upset.
Even I feel upset by it.
That's an insult to our entire family,
no different than looking at us like we're thieves.
That's a little extreme.
I can understand how people
in their positions can be suspicious.
Now I see why he said
he may not get married.
Why isn't Mom coming out?
I'm sure she's tired from the trip to Seoul.
Leave her alone. Don't wait for her.
But I want some ice cream.
Daddy will get it for you.
Daddy's getting you some.
I don't want to go home tonight.
Oh, you.

You didn't let me
say my final goodbye to her.
You were in cahoots with your mother
and went by yourself.
Father, Father! What are you doing?
Father.
It's dementia.
What did you say? How much?
Have there been any traumatic events
or major stress factors recently?
Hey, you. Did you forget about
the Kim Min Jae curse?
If you upset your mother too much,
you'll be cursed.
Could that be true?
Nice to meet you. My name is Yang Byung Gul.
My name is Jo Nam Shik.
Whatever my Papa thinks or says,
it probably won't matter.
If you loved me, I mean.
If you can't take care of me,
don't show any interest.
You know very well the only thing I have
is self pride.
What good is self pride?
How great do you think you are?
What's so great about you
that you're that cocky?
You're just ridiculous.
Hey! Do you think
you're the only one with pride?

- Instructor.
- Yes.
Would you take a look at this gauge
to see if it's leaking?
Oh?
It does leak.
It's a good thing you caught it.
I bought it used, off of the internet.
Have you been using it?
No, this is the first time of using it.
You should tell the person
you bought it from that it leaks.
I'm sure he didn't sell it
knowing it was broken.
If he didn't use it recently,
it's possible he didn't know.
I'll give you another one to use.
- Hyung.
- Yes.
You're not going in until later, right?
The guest's gauge is broken.
You'll have to let him borrow yours.
Okay.
Her face got smaller overnight.
Ji Hye's.
She ate your food,
went to school with your money,
and even now is continuing to be
in your debt.
I'm sure it must have
pierced her conscience.
Your sister-in-law also worked and there are
no debts between parents and children.
Your love and care was only one-sided
when it comes to Ji Hye.
Her behavior is just ungratefulness
toward you.
That's not what it is. What she's feeling
is completely understandable.
That's why there is a saying that you
should be careful about taking in strays.
Blood is thicker than water.
If she didn't have any feelings
about her birth father,
I would actually be disappointed in her.
If you feel bad about it,
be honest and say so. I would understand.
I'm not in the mood to go over
a lot of material...
and most of the preparations for
the show are complete.
Let me be a little lazy today.
Go ahead and do that.
You've finished going over
the contract with the publisher?
Yes. Would you like me
to make you a cup of tea?
No, I'm fine.
Yes, Unni.
It's me.
Ji Hye went to Seoul.
Have you heard from her?
I'm waiting for her right now.
I have a favor to ask of you.
I'm asking because I still cringe when I think
back to how your family treated me before.
Please don't speak negatively
to my daughter.
And don't forget she's pregnant.
So please refrain from saying anything
that would be upsetting to her.
I'm fifty years old now.
I've matured so don't worry.
Thank you for letting her come.
I was going to call you
after I've met with Ji Hye.
One more thing...
Ji Hye isn't naturally warm and friendly.
Even if she says something
that sounds harsh,
please let it go as coming from someone
who held it inside her entire life.
I'll handle it fine so don't worry.
I think Ji Hye's here, Unni.
Don't tell her I called. Goodbye.
Honey, I think she's...
Excuse me. Are you by any chance...
Yes. I'm Ji Hye's aunt.
Hello. I'm Ji Hye's husband.
You're Ji Hye.
Sit. Please sit.
Yes.
Honey, I'll...
Sit. It doesn't matter. Sit down.
Would it be all right for me to stay?
If it's okay with Ji Hye,
it's okay with me. Sit.
Your dad wanted to see you so badly.
If you were going to come like this,
I wish it could have been a little earlier.
Your mom is really cold hearted.
Mom did that out of concern for me.
She was concerned for you but she had
long held hard feelings, probably.
First...
I think he wrote this
right after your mom came to visit.
He asked me to find out your address
and send it to you.
He gave it to me 2 days before he died.
The other is a picture of your dad.
Honey.
He was about 45 years old in that.
I looked for a picture of him
when he was young.
I wanted you to think well of him.
Isn't he handsome?
He was very good looking.
My daughter Ji Hye
whom I longed for my entire life,
by the time you read this,
I would have said goodbye to this world.
Your mother asked me
why I never came to see you.
My answer to her
was that I felt too badly toward you,
and that I didn't know what to say to you.
That's the truth, Ji Hye.
I wasn't worthy to stand in front of you
and tell you I was your dad.
I'm a man...
who committed a great sin against
the only woman I loved, with bigamy.
And to you, I was an irresponsible man.
How can a person like that
expect to hear the word "dad" from you?
This undeserving dad
has only one hope from you.
That is for you to not think
I ever forgot you.
As long as I was alive,
I've never forgotten you.
Please believe it.
I came to this world and leave behind
only a life full of heartaches.
To me,
your mother gave a wonderful parting gift.
How can you be so beautiful, Ji Hye?
I repent a million, a hundred million times.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
I'm sorry, Ji Hye. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll do that. Please give it to me.
No, that's fine.
Please let me do that.
Don't worry about it and do your own work.
Teacher...
You're not married yet.
You can do this after you get married.
And right now, I need to do this.
Go back in there.
I said to go back in there.
Your dad got married
in his 2nd year of college.
He had a son already by then.
Five generations of our family
had only sons.
My mother was going to the temple diligently
to pray for another grandson
when the family was turned upside down.
My sister-in-law was the daughter
of my father's good friend.
Even as children,
my sister-in-law and brother were called
daughter-in-law and son-in-law
by each other's parents.
Back then,
those marriages were still common.
It may have been a loveless marriage
but still,
the person who needed to back out
was your mother.
If you had been a son, I'm sure she
wouldn't have been able to raise you.
Our family was especially greedy for sons.
Then no matter what,
I wouldn't have been able to grow up
with both parents.
Your dad took your picture with him.
From the day he received your picture,
it never left his hands.
And he said his son-in-law
looked like a good man.
He was thrilled to see your daughter
resembled you.
How... where did you put him to rest?
He wanted to be buried in the mountains.
It's in his hometown of Kang Neung,
in the Sun Mountain forest.
Can you take me there?
Honey, that's too much for you.
How long does it take to get there?
It'll take about 4 to 4.5 hours.
That's 9 hours round trip.
We can stay overnight.
You just got here on a plane.
You're going to get in a car
and drive for 4.5 hours.
Then tomorrow, you'll drive back
for 4.5 hours then get on a plane again.
Even if we stay overnight,
it's still too hard on you.
But, honey...
No.
I can't permit it. Give it up.
I'm sure Father will understand and
he won't want you to push yourself either.
After you've had the baby and recovered,
come back then.
Call Mother. If she gives you permission...
fine, if she gives you permission...
No. Even if she gives you permission,
I still won't.
You can't do this.
What did I come here to do?
You received a picture of Father
and a letter from him.
I don't want you
pushing yourself either, Ji Hye.
Just go home this time and come back later.
I didn't know you took him to your hometown.
After he got sick,
he stayed in his home there.
Father, your lunch.
Eat your lunch.
Where did your mother go?
I'm not sure where she went.
She left without saying anything, Father.
She should say when she's leaving
or when she's coming back.
She should say something when she leaves.
Yes.
When did she leave?
I don't know.
What do you know?
Just a minute, Father!
Let me see your phone.
So I can call Mother.
Right. The phone.
The phone.
Here.
I'll do it. I can call her.
Hello?
It's lunch time
and you're gone without feeding me.
Go to the big house and eat what's there.
Where are you
and what craziness are you up to?
This old man... the way he talks...
I left because I couldn't stand to see you
lying there anymore.
What business is it of yours where I am
and what I'm doing?
Mother, it's me.
Feed your father his lunch.
He's eating right now.
Where are you, Mother?
Where else do I have to go?
After sending Ji Hye to Seoul,
you're probably a bundle of nerves,
I couldn't stand seeing your Father
sprawled out like he was,
so I came to vent to Buddha
and pray for peace for you.
After your father finishes eating,
give him some digestive aids.
He hasn't been able to digest his food
since last night,
probably from Sehwa's mom
going like she did.
Yes, Mother.
Hang up now.
She's at the temple, Father.
Do they give her food there
or clothes there at that temple?
What good ever come of her going
to that temple of hers?
He never said much.
Even during family events,
he'd go off by himself and read a book.
He didn't spend a lot of time
with family members.
We all thought he was still angry over
what happened with your mom.
We talked about you between ourselves
but never mentioned you in front of him.
None of us knew how much he missed you
during all that time.
After 5 years of illness,
he asked us to have you come see him.
He cried like his heart
was being torn apart.
I started to understand how much
he missed you all those years.
If your mom hadn't remarried, I'm sure he
would have looked you up already.
She couldn't not get remarried.
For my sake, if nothing else.
Yes.
My dad is a wonderful man.
Mom is happy and I receive a lot of love.
Yes. What a relief that is.
Ji Hye,
your aunts want to see you
and are waiting for my call.
I don't want to meet them.
You don't?
I heard they treated my mom harshly.
They couldn't have acted differently
in that situation.
After I have the baby, I'll come back again.
After that, I don't think there'll be
any reason to see each other again.
I just have to visit my dad once.
I'm finished after that.
Your siblings have all turned out well.
I have no interest in them.
You take after your dad.
He was always definite about everything.
All except the situation with your mom.
Yes. What's up?
I'm calling to see how Ji Hye is doing.
Ji Hye went to Seoul with her husband
early this morning.
Why Seoul?
She'll probably go to see her dad
with her aunt.
I'm not sure.
That's what your dad and I are guessing.
What about you?
I came up to your room to clean it.
How are you feeling?
I don't feel that great.
It feels like there's something the size of a fist
and I can't tell if it's hurting or squeezing my heart.
Is your breathing okay?
It's nothing like that.
Don't worry about me.
I'm saying useless things here.
Have you eaten lunch yet?
Kyung Soo brought some chicken.
We're going to eat in the car.
Why? Isn't it uncomfortable in the car?
No, it's not uncomfortable in the least.
He turns the air on to freezing point
so it's nice and cool.
Okay. Eat before it gets cold.
Hang up and eat.
Kyung Soo wants to say hello.
It's me, Mother. Have you been well?
It's been a long time since we've seen you.
I heard your father's been ill.
Yes. He was discharged today.
Good. See you this weekend.
Yes.
Hang up. Hang up and eat.
Yes, Mother. Be well.
You, too.
Let's eat.
Okay.
This place doesn't seem to use good oil.
What now?
What's wrong with the color of the crust?
It's too dark.
You complain too much. Just eat it.
This isn't right.
What this time?
The batter isn't right.
It needs to be crispy but it's chewy.
You don't know how to make anything
but just because your mother is a cook,
you just shoot off at the mouth.
I think I need to take the crust off.
- Give it to me.
- Why?
So I can open the window and toss it out.
- Okay, okay. I'll eat it.
- Give it to me.
Here, eat it.
If you're going to take the crust off
of fried chicken,
why not eat braised chicken
and not fried chicken?
Oh man, you're really pushing it.
Do you want some cola?
Later.
What are you going to give me
for my birthday?
What would you like?
You. In whole.
It's on a weekday
and now with Ji Hye's situation,
I don't think my mom
can throw you a birthday party.
Oh, were you thinking of a party from her?
Because you're alone.
My family doesn't leave anyone alone from
the time they learn that person's name.
I was going to ask her.
She has enough on her hands
without adding my birthday.
Just sleep at my place the night before.
We'll have some seaweed soup
in the morning...
and for dinner, let's get dressed up
and have steak and wine.
That'll cost too much money.
Let's just put on shorts and T-shirts
and go to the soup joint and have soju.
Just wait until your birthday.
I'll take you to a barley place.
Are you prepared for your lecture?
I have the knowledge
as the basic foundation.
The way I see it,
your basics aren't that great.
What's wrong with you?
Isn't there a way for me to quit being
a doctor and spend my time picking on you?
What?
How about opening a ramen house?
Or how about selling fruit?
How about selling alcohol? Like a wine bar.
Not that because of the wolves
that'll come after you.
You liked it that much? That much?
Where are the tissues?
Aren't you going to eat?
I am.
I'll finish it, so you go in and eat.
I'm done. The kids aren't calling.
What's Lee Seobang's problem?
I'll call him. You go in and eat.
Sister-in-law. Would you like me
to take you for a drive around the island?
You can check out how nicely
the car performs.
Some other time. I'm not in the mood
for that right now.
That didn't work.
You're right.
What about you?
I'm bringing it right now.
Up, up, up!
Even when I'm so tired and the
inside of my mouth feels like cotton,
I say this to myself.
Up, up, up.
If I stay down, it affects everyone
at Bul Lan Ji. Up. Up. Up.
I...
yes, I always think I have to make sure
everyone in the family is cheerful.
How can I say this?
I lived like I was a human light bulb.
Every morning when my kids wake up,
I wanted them to feel happy
as they start the day.
So even when I'm down, it's up, up, up.
I tell myself my kids are all good.
They're all happy.
I'm content. I'm joyful.
They call me the Superwoman.
Do you know how exhausting
to live your live being called Super?
It's extremely burdensome.
There were times I wanted to cry from it,
Yeon Joo.
I talked to him, honey.
He's buried in Kang Neung, Sun Mountain.
Lee Seobang said the round trip
would take 8 to 9 hours from there.
Ji Hye still wanted to go,
but he talked her out of it.
They're having lunch with her aunt
right now.
Ji Hye seems to be okay
and they'll be back early.
That's good.
I'm going to wash up.
Okay.
Up, up, up, up.
Why isn't Ho Sub calling?
He sent a text message,
asking how you were doing.
He said since you're feeling down today,
he won't call.
Up, up? Do I look down? I'm feeling okay.
If you don't feel good,
just go ahead and not feel good.
It's harder to act like you're not down.
I'm done. It's all over now.
I can't stay down and be a black cloud
over Bul Lan Ji. Up, up.
Play, play, play.
When it's there, you swing.
I know.
Take it!
Take this!
I won. I did, I did. I won again.
I won again.
Cho Rong!
Just a min... Cho Rong!
It's just a game.
If you get mad because you lost,
that's being childish.
Fine.
I said I had to get home early
and you kept me here so I'm late.
It's only an hour.
Let's hurry up and go.
You have to grant my wish.
The loser has to grant a wish to the winner.
That was the bet.
Fine. I got it. I lost.
Here.
What is that?
Isn't this your wish? Hurry up.
If you go over a second, you're dead.
Tick-tock. It's just one second.
That's not it.
That's not my wish.
Then what is it?
You really thought lightly of this bet.
What is it?
No wonder you agreed to it so easily.
I thought it was a bit strange.
What is it?
Getting married.
My wish is to get married to you.
Are you crazy?
Do you really think I'd marry you
for losing at a game?
A promise is a promise.
Don't make me laugh. That bet's void.
Why it is void?
We went into the game without being
specific about the penalty.
Like it's 50,000 won or 100,000 won.
But we did. We said the loser
has to grant the winner one wish.
You didn't say what your wish was.
You didn't ask.
How could anyone imagine that wish
would be to get married?
I assumed it would be a one-second kiss.
If you change the rules like that and
refuse to pay up, that could be a problem.
Report me to the police.
What?
Report me to the police.
Fine. I'll let it slide this time.
A one-second kiss.
You're getting of really cheap.
A one-second kiss.
Close your eyes.
It'll be 10 seconds next time, Cho Rong.
Okay, fine.
What were you going to have me do
if you won?
You want to know?
Yeah.
I'm not like you, going in without a plan.
I was going to ask you to buy me
a fashion watch.
Just that?
I'm a practical person.
Take me. Me.
I'll put a red bow around my neck
and offer myself to you. Okay?
Be quiet. Let's hurry home.
Let's go to buy a watch.
I lost.
Since you lost, it's a fashion watch.
If you won, it would have been a brand name,
jewelry watch.
Honey.
- What?
- Did Father say anything?
No. Why?
Mother's home and she said he's not there.
What?
Father isn't here, Mother?
Call Sehwa's. He might be there.
Yes.
They're not answering?
Oh, Sehwa. I'm calling from Bul Lan Ji.
Did our father go over there?
Really.
Okay, I got it.
If he happens to go there, call us. Okay.
Oh. Okay.
He didn't go there.
When did he leave?
I'm not sure, Mother. He said he was hungry
just before noon, so I gave him his lunch.
After taking his medicine,
he said he wanted to watch TV.
I brought the table back and...
What time is it now?
It's almost 4 o'clock.
Why were you so long at the temple, Mother?
So you're saying you don't know
when he left, is that it?
Yes.
This is the kind of trouble he causes.
This is what he does.
What did I say? I told you he's like this.
I think he might have gone
to the temple to look for you.
Honey, why don't you
hurry over there and see?
Oh, okay. I'll go and see, Mother.
I agree with that.
I think he might have gone to the temple.
If he did, I would have seen him.
I didn't see your father.
You took a taxi.
It's possible you missed him.
Honey, wait a minute!
Mother, the phone. The phone.
Right. Right, right.
Why isn't this old man answering?
Hello?
Where are you, old man?
I came out for some fun.
Where for fun?
I was bored, so I came out to meet a friend
at a coffee shop.
When did you leave?
Not very long ago.
Father, I'll come to pick you up.
Where are you right now?
No need. I'm almost home.
When did you leave? We didn't know you left.
You should tell someone when you leave.
Why didn't you just stay at the temple
and live there?
Father's phone, honey...
I even forget that they have phones.
Just to make sure, I think we need to get
an ID necklace for him.
I thought about that.
I'll tell Ho Sub to order one.
- Do you want something?
- No.
Why do you look so down?
With you like that, I feel down myself.
You know how easily we're affected by you.
But I'm fine.
You are?
Already?
No one's going to give me
a prize drawing it out? I'm fine.
Then will you make me a toasted grain shake?
Sounds good.
I'll bring it right in.
Please wait. We'll be leaving again shortly.
Yes, Chief Officer.
Just unload my travel bag
and leave the rest in the trunk.
We'll unload those at Director Yang's house.
I understand.
Please come this way, Director Yang.
What can we do to make you feel better?
Please tell me
and stop stressing me out like that.
Geum Joo, please give us some water.
Yes.
Please sit, Jun.
Sit.
- Jun...
- I think I was too rash with my decision.
About what?
Our relationship.
About getting too close to you
and making the decision to marry.
What do you mean by that?
Right now, I'm having second thoughts
about us getting married.
But I apologized on his behalf.
This isn't only about us.
Jun...
That the Chairman did a background check on me,
that his people
reported negatively about me,
doesn't make me happy,
but I'm fine with that.
That was in the Chairman's right to do so
and his people thinking I'm nothing is all fine.
And so?
He told me over and over to not even think
about putting my hands on his fortune.
He repeated that until right before we left.
It's Papa's personality...
to make sure over and over and over again.
No matter, to treat his future son-in-law
like that is insulting.
At our first meeting, I made myself clear
that I had no interest in his money.
Is there anyone in that situation
who would have said he was interested?
You must not be very smart.
A hundred out of a hundred men would say
they're not interested in the money.
Of all the men who wanted to be with me,
not one looked like they were after the money.
But neither Papa nor I could trust them.
Are you saying I'm like them?
No. I trust you.
I made the first move with you.
I even wondered
how you described me to your father.
Of course I told him you weren't like that.
But Papa isn't that naive.
He's deeply suspicious.
I can't change the way Papa thinks.
That will change when he wants to change it.
That's just beyond my ability.
Once or twice was more than enough.
He didn't have to say it so incessantly.
Papa doesn't want me to fail twice
at marriage.
Don't you think it's natural for him
to make sure...
of your reasons for choosing me?
Did he make sure the first time?
Did he do a background check on him?
He didn't do a background check. Because his
family's wealth was very impressive.
Then by that, I'm someone that should be
checked out, someone to be suspected!
Because I don't have anything.
This is exactly
why I resisted in the beginning.
I didn't want to be seen as someone
who was after your money.
What's the problem if you're not?
No matter what anyone says,
as long as you know you're not.
Aren't you the person you think you are...
instead of who the world
makes you out to be?
I'm also a person who doesn't want to
hear dirty things about me.
If others say you're dirty,
does that make you dirty?
It makes me feel bad and resentful.
Just disregard it.
That's all you have to do.
I'm not so great a person
to be able to do that.
Just a minute.
I'll be right out after I change.
I'm going home by myself.
- You rest.
- Jun...
I'm going to rethink this.
I am going to think this over.
I will think about whether
this is something I can deal with or not.
I never imagined the Chairman
to be like that.
He should have never given his permission
in the first place.
What is that about? To permit marriage
but to treat me like a thief?
I'm leaving.
What about my return greeting
to your parents?
I'll tell them you stayed on in Japan
for a few more days.
I'll have the car sent back.
Papa, I'm upset!
You were too much, Papa!
You're home?
Yes.
Where's Sister-in-law?
I returned ahead of her.
Does it seem like the Chairman likes you?
No.
He doesn't seem to think
very highly of me, Hyungnim.
Why?
It just... it just seemed like it.
I'm home, Mother.
Oh, good. You're home?
Yes.
You must be tired.
Sister-in-law decided to stay
a bit longer, Mother.
I see. You came ahead because of your work?
Yes.
I'm sure you're tired. Go on in.
Yes.
What about the Chairman?
He won't give his permission?
Not that exactly.
Then what?
It's just... you don't need to know.
I'll handle it.
What is it that you'll handle it?
Byung Jun.
He seems to think I'm after his money.
I let it go the first couple of times.
But every time he sees me,
he said the same thing.
I wondered why I put myself
in that position.
That... that would be upsetting to hear.
I regret it, Hyungnim.
I'm thinking about calling it quits.
What if even after we get married
he keeps it up?
All that's important is for you
to know you're not.
Someone else said the exact same thing.
That's not enough to call it quits.
What does Chief Officer Jo say?
What makes me more upset
is that she took her father's side.
Doesn't that mean
she has the same doubts about me?
Then... she can think that
and still want to marry you?
Probably because someone else
will be handling the finances.
Don't think like that. That seems like
you're misunderstanding the situation.
Then what do you think it is?
Maybe she couldn't say her father was wrong.
I'm sure she's hoping you'd understand her.
That's it. She wants me to let it go.
Then do that for her.
I have no thoughts of it, but he says to me
I'm there to steal his money.
Mom! Mom, Mom, Mom.
Mom!
What?
What? What happened?
Mom, look at this. Look.
Look, look.
You scared me.
You made me jump out of my skin.
Isn't it pretty? Great? The tops?
What is this? Where did you get it?
Unni, what do you think?
Isn't it startlingly great? Right?
It really is very pretty.
What's with all the sparkles?
They're diamonds.
What?
No, they're crystals.
If they're diamonds,
how much would it be worth?
You and Unni are so gullible.
Even crystals sparkle that brightly?
Did you spend all your allowance on it?
Do you think I'm crazy?
What do you think Dong Gun is for?
You used him to buy that for you?
It didn't cost that much, Mom.
Just 444,400 won.
You say you don't like Dong Gun,
so why accept things like that from him?
I told him I didn't want it,
but he nearly forced it on me.
He was near tears, so I finally relented.
What do you think? Isn't it nice?
Doesn't it catch your eye?
Don't they look like diamonds?
You're dating, aren't you?
No.
If you're not dating,
why would you accept that from him?
He kept begging.
Ji Hye's home, Mother.
Oh, okay.
We're home.
I see. Ji Na is over at Young Hoon's.
Go get her.
We already picked her up. She called.
That's good.
Is that all you have to say?
I heard you didn't make it to the cemetery.
No.
I'm glad. You can go later.
That's what I'm planning on.
What are you going to feed me for dinner?
What do you feel like eating?
Mother, why don't you go in?
I think she has something
she wants to say to you.
He asked for it to be given to you?
No. The picture was Aunt's idea.
What is that?
Go ahead and look.
It's better than if he had gone
without any words to you.
Yes.
We didn't talk about much.
There wasn't too much to say.
And there was nothing
I really wanted to ask.
It was mostly Aunt talking.
I see.
She said the other aunts were waiting
to see me but I declined.
There was no reason to see them.
She said he had 3 kids.
And they all turned out good.
I told her I had no interest in them.
They buried him in the mountain.
That's what he requested.
I see.
You have aged kimchi?
Yes.
Make kimchi stew for me.
Okay, I'll make that for you.
Do I have to say I'm sorry?
You don't have to.
I'm not going to. I don't want to.
Even if it was for me, for you to have made
that decision alone was wrong.
If you say it's wrong, then it is.
Even a mother can't always
make the right decision.
I understand.
We're back.
Yes, I saw your husband already.
Aren't you tired? Go rest
and come back over at dinner time.
Yes.
Dad.
Yes.
What?
What's wrong?
I hope you know what's in my heart
without having to say it.
Me, too.
Me too, Ji Hye.
I also hope you know...
what's in my heart even if I don't say it.
Thank you, Dad.
Truly. Really.
Yes. Me, too.
I'm also grateful.
I'm here.
Welcome, Uncle.
Bae or Park, whatever his name is...
ask him to just get me 2,000,000 for it.
No, Uncle. He's not someone
who'll do something like that.
You be quiet.
You got your money's worth out of it.
Don't be so greedy.
You said you don't want it.
I said I'll give it to you for nothing
if you want it.
I'll see if he can get 1,000,000 for it.
Hey, if it's 1,000,000...
Uncle!
Okay, fine. Just get rid of it for me.
I'm leaving.
Oh, wait, Uncle. Uncle!
What?
There's this woman who owns a boutique.
How old is she?
Sit down first.
Just tell me. I don't want to bother
sitting down and get up again.
If you'll just give in on one thing, her age,
I think this can work out.
Tell me first.
She only looks like she's in her mid 30's.
I know her.
Then my car is in perfect condition.
So how old is she?
She's 44 years old.
Why you...!
Why didn't you just find me
a 50 year old who owns a company?
At least then her money
can make up for her age.
She owns a business, too.
She's a hard worker, friendly, and warm.
Most of all, she's got a great personality.
Her boutique is not a hole in wall
but pretty considerable in size.
- Is she single, widow, or a divorcee?
- Once.
She's a divorcee?
The man had an affair, so she walked out
just 3 years into the marriage.
Fortunately, there are no kids.
I'm not interested.
Being divorced is not
that big a deal nowadays.
That depends on the person.
Do you know what kind of person
my 2nd brother is marrying?
Are you trying to get me to vomit blood?
Uncle.
Don't ever try to fix me up
with someone like that again.
What a terrible kid.
Just get my car sold! I'm leaving!
But she does have looks.
You know her?
I can't say I know her but I've seen her
a couple of times, right honey?
You saw her a couple more times than that
since I only buy my clothes from her.
How good looking?
She's quite pretty.
Forget it. Uncle said he's not interested.
You're saying she looks good to you?
She is pretty and subtly sexy.
Okay. If you say she's pretty,
I can believe that.
Hey, go and bring me the bottle of soju
I started. That bottle I opened up.
There's no bottle of soju you have opened.
Give him a drink out of my bottle.
Ji Hye, taste it.
It's good to me.
Let's start.
Thank you for this food.
We'll enjoy.
Chief Officer Jo didn't come back with you?
Right.
It's her family, after all.
Yes.
Did her father seem happy to see you?
What can he say?
He can't eat if you ask him questions.
Fine.
Wait. I'll take the fat off for you.
But I like the fatty parts.
It's fat. It'll make you get fat.
It's not healthy for you.
She takes after me
in liking the fatty parts.
I'm leaving.
Oh, Uncle. You're back?
Yes.
Did you have a nice trip to Seoul?
Yes.
You look good.
Yes.
Okay, then.
Your wallet will get thinner due to dating.
I'm sure so. But not tonight.
Her grandmother has dinner waiting for us.
Go on.
Okay. Is there anything you need?
No, forget it.
No need to make someone else happy.
Enjoy your dinner. Enjoy.
Okay.
What's the rush? We're not in a hurry.
Grandmother is waiting for us.
Hurry up and get in.
Just a minute.
I have a problem. When we don't have a BBQ
for the guests, it makes me really happy.
What if we stop having BBQs
until we get married?
I'm kidding.
You don't say those foolish things
in front of your family, right?
Why is it foolish? It's what I truly feel.
That's why Cho Rong
comes down so hard on you.
She can do whatever she wants.
She'll stop when she gets tired of it.
I think she's already starting
to get tired of it.
Does she still pick on you?
The last few days have been fine.
See what I mean? I told you
she was acting up for no reason.
She's really a good girl at heart.
Among people who have good hearts,
there will be no problem.
The nitpicking in the beginning
is just to get closer.
Wise old Sage, look where you're driving.
I won't be going anywhere, so
you don't have to keep looking at me.
It's possible we may not
get married, Sister-in-law.
What happened?
Uh, that is...
Aren't you being too rash?
Why, Uncle?
I just think maybe
I'm not the right person for her.
What happened?
There's no need to mention that but anyway,
we could decide to not get married.
I just wanted you to know.
It's not like you're kids. Uncle!
Leave him alone.
Like you said, they're not kids.
He must have good reason
to say something like that.
So let us know that reason.
It's not for you to get involved.
Drop it and let's just eat.
On your trip to Japan,
did you feel a personality clash?
- Perhaps.
- Why aren't you telling us?
I told you to leave him alone. He doesn't
want to talk about it so let it be.
You know something, don't you?
Dad knows.
What is it, Dad?
It seems Uncle doesn't want it known.
Don't put Father in an awkward position.
Let's drop it.
We're all really curious.
He must have had his pride hurt quite a bit.
It'll hurt his pride even more
for you to know his pride was hurt.
So let's just let it drop here.
Talk about something else.
I wonder if this winter
will be warm or cold.
How was his pride hurt?
I heard it was going to be cold, Mother.
Right, honey?
So it was about his pride...
Does he want him to become his proxy son?
Japanese people take proxy sons.
Does he want Uncle
to change his surname to theirs, Dad?
No. And they're not Japanese, Ji Hye.
He could have changed his nationality
because of business.
Is that it?
I said it wasn't.
I'm not getting any matches.
How can I not get any?
What am I supposed to throw down?
There's no card for me to play.
You're sure breaking the rhythm
of this game.
Hurry up and play.
I said I don't have any cards to play.
But if you don't play a card,
the game can't continue.
Just play anything.
But I don't want to give up the others.
That's not the card to throw down.
Oh, I don't know.
Look at that. How can this happen?
How can I not get a single matching card?
I'm going.
Fine, go.
Here's the bomb! You know that
doubles the double score, right?
Two "go"!
I told you to not play that.
How can a woman be like this, Grandmother?
She's smart and can figure out
what cards will come up.
Plus she's plain good at the game.
You'll never be able to beat her.
No, I think this is because
I'm so bad at it, Grandmother.
Without being a professional card player,
this isn't possible.
Hurry up and play.
All right already.
What are you doing?
It seems the Chairman...
looked at him like he was after their money.
With that personality of his,
how must he have felt about it?
It's not like he has an ex-wife
or kids to look after.
What reason would he have
to want their money?
Does he have poor siblings to take care of?
How could he treat him like that?
I know.
I can see why he's upset.
Even I feel upset by it.
That's an insult to our entire family,
no different than looking at us like we're thieves.
That's a little extreme.
I can understand how people
in their positions can be suspicious.
Now I see why he said
he may not get married.
Why isn't Mom coming out?
I'm sure she's tired from the trip to Seoul.
Leave her alone. Don't wait for her.
But I want some ice cream.
Daddy will get it for you.
Daddy's getting you some.
I don't want to go home tonight.
Oh, you.

You didn't let me
say my final goodbye to her.
You were in cahoots with your mother
and went by yourself.
Father, Father! What are you doing?
Father.
It's dementia.
What did you say? How much?
Have there been any traumatic events
or major stress factors recently?
Hey, you. Did you forget about
the Kim Min Jae curse?
If you upset your mother too much,
you'll be cursed.
Could that be true?
Nice to meet you. My name is Yang Byung Gul.
My name is Jo Nam Shik.
Whatever my Papa thinks or says,
it probably won't matter.
If you loved me, I mean.
If you can't take care of me,
don't show any interest.
You know very well the only thing I have
is self pride.
What good is self pride?
How great do you think you are?
What's so great about you
that you're that cocky?
You're just ridiculous.
Hey! Do you think
you're the only one with pride?
