01x01 - The Lee Brothers

[bunniefuu]

[Episode 1]

Where does the defendant stand?

[Defence Attorney]

The plaintiff first requested that they break up.

Even though the relationship is already over,

the plaintiff is asking for an unfair amount of alimony...

under the pretext of common-law marriage.

The plaintiff wants to get back together with the defendant.

She will also register her marriage.

The defendant doesn't want to get back together with her.

- You know that.
- So, the alimony...

of 150,000 dollars that the plaintiff is asking for...

is a fair amount that she deserves.

Wait. That means...

she knew he didn't want to get back together with her.

She just offers to live with him knowing all that...

as if she's showing him some mercy.

She's trying to pull a petty trick to get an unfair amount of alimony.

That just means...

the defendant's wrongdoings are that grave.

Is it his fault that he put up with her...

when she hit him, swore at him, and even had an affair?

That's not true.

I didn't hit him.

Actually, I'm the one who got hit, Your Honour.

This is not fair.

He fell for another woman and left the house.

So I said I'd break up with him for his sake.

And I'm just asking for a little alimony,

but he won't pay me.

Gosh.

The 150,000 dollars is nothing...

compared to what I've suffered.

Your Honour, so I told him that we should register our marriage...

and live together again.

But he refused.

What am I supposed to do?

Plaintiff, please calm down.

You know what things are like here.

I submit Recording B-25 as evidence.

I will examine the evidence by playing Recording B-25.

Darn it. If you were good enough,

I wouldn't have cheated on you.

Do you think I will just break up with you as you wish?

Is there any evidence that I hit you?

Do you have any evidence that I cheated on you?

Do you?

The defendant is not responsible for the breakdown of the relationship,

but he is willing to pay alimony of 1,000 dollars in good conscience.

Hey! Are you kidding me?

Hey, Sung Soo.

Yes. The date has been set.

Yes. Next week.

Just have things prepared as planned.

We talked on the phone. Okay.

Get a draft of the documents ready for the Lee Yoon Mi case.

Don't live your life like that!

Okay.

What's wrong with you?

There's nothing wrong with me.

You should know what being married is like.

Marriage doesn't go your way.

You're an attorney after all.

How could an attorney stop me from keeping the peace of my family?

Do you call yourself a human being?

I am a human being, and I'm not married.

Let me give you a piece of advice as an attorney.

If you want to get more alimony, don't take a negative approach.

Try to use happy memories.

And it will work even better if you shed a single tear drop.

When did I take a negative approach?

That's just ridiculous.

My gosh.

Wait.

Are you sure I can get more alimony this way?

At least more than 1,000 dollars.

- Are you sure?
- Maybe 1,200 dollars.

Hey!

I should get going then. I'm busy with work.

Hey! Have a good life, you darn scumbag!

Why is it so cold today?

Are you on your way to the office?

No. I'm going to meet with a client.

A super important client.

[It's Beautiful Now]

- Make sure it doesn't show my face.
- Okay.

Hold it gently.

You look beautiful.

This way...

- I want a detailed shot of this.
- Okay.

All right. It's done.

Let me see.

This is the third wedding dress.

I hope our client will like it.

This is the best dress I've seen so far.

I also think this one is the best.

But it's the client's taste that matters.

By the way, which dress are you going to wear?

If the client doesn't like this, why don't you wear it?

You look amazing in it.

- I'm not getting married.
- What?

Are you serious?

Yes. Will you spread the word for me?

I don't want to go around and tell everyone.

But you will keep working here, right?

My resignation should've been accepted by now.

What? I don't know what to say.

- Are you happy to see me here?
- Yes, I am.

Don't tell me you will be there when I meet with my attorney.

No, I won't.

I'll drop you there and go see my attorney.

Why?

I don't want you to be swindled twice.

We'll meet more attorneys before making any decision.

We can't just trust one attorney and leave the whole thing to him.

Someone I can trust introduced this attorney to me.

Jun Hyung was the son of a VIP client,

so you trusted him at first.

But look how it turned out.

I knew you had good taste, Mi Rae.

I love this.

Thank you, ma'am.

Why don't you become my daughter-in-law?

I was stupid to fall for that.

You're not stupid.

The one who fooled you is a bad person.

I'm afraid...

you might lose your self-esteem because of this.

Come on. I'm Hyun Mi Rae, Jin Soo Jung's daughter.

I won't lose my self-esteem over this.

I will be able to get my marriage annulled, right?

Of course.

You just registered your marriage.

You didn't do anything else that counts as being married.

Isn't registering your marriage the biggest thing...

that counts as being married?

Do you want me to drop you off at the broadcasting station?

Hello.

[Waiting Room, Ms. Sim Hae Jun]

Yes.

It's me.

I'm sorry to make you come all the way here.

It's my job to come here.

I'm the one who makes you look your best.

Aren't you sweet?

This is even prettier than in the photos.

I worked really hard to get this.

Mi Rae, you're so bright and chipper.

I know you're having a hard time, but you don't look that way.

I had to shed blood and tears until learning how to do that.

Things are almost settled though.

You got me a good attorney.

I'm really grateful.

You haven't met him yet.

That's what I'm telling myself before meeting with him.

He has to be a good attorney.

That's a lot of pressure.

But it is true that Hyun Jae is a good attorney.

How do I look?

Well... What do you think?

It's pretty.

Do you like it?

Not really. This isn't enough.

Ta-Da.

Aren't they beautiful?

Gosh. What would I do without you?

I don't have any sisters, so I really like you.

[My Precious Mom]

Answer it.

Sorry. Excuse me for a second.

Hello, Mom. You just dropped me off.

I'm sorry. Will you be home for dinner?

You like steak.

Okay.

Bye.

My mom worries so much about me these days.

I can handle it myself.

Those are the good times.

I didn't know that when my mom was alive.

Are you in pain?

It's my tooth.

I really hate going to dentists.

I can't stand that drilling sound.

Open wide.

Suction the bottom corner.

We're almost done.

This is air and water. Don't be startled.

Rinse out your mouth.

You can sit up now.

How come it never hurts when you do it?

Who am I?

You're my eldest grandson, of course.

So, when will you get married?

Grandpa.

Your mom left to go to a friend's son's wedding...

with a huge pout.

You need to get married so that Hyun Jae can go next.

How old are you, anyway?

Aren't you 40 now?

I'm still 39.

You're old.

- I know, right?
- Yes.

A 39-year-old man now is the same as a 30-year-old in our day.

His competence is more important than his age.

My Yoon Jae is a doctor.

So what if he is?

He still eats the same three meals a day as we do.

Isn't your second son quite old too?

The attorney son.

He's just 36 years old.

He's 36 already?

You must be so upset.

Why would I be upset?

You're the only one of us who hasn't married off a single child.

Even if they make lots of money, they can't take it to the afterlife.

It's best to be happy each and every day.

She's right. I was overjoyed when I saw my first grandchild.

I hate being called grandma,

but grandkids make you melt.

Kyung Ae. Even if your sons are competent,

they'll never get married if they wait for too long.

Why are you ganging up on me?

We're not ganging up on you.

We're saying this because we care about you.

Be aware of the crisis you're in.

Kids these days will never get married on their own.

You have to push them.

It's okay to stay single.

Why insist on marriage in this day and age?

I never told my kids what to do.

Our kids aren't our possessions.

I never told them to study,

but one went to medical school and the other to law school.

Your third kid. Has he passed the civil service exam yet?

I need another iced latte.

Excuse me!

Oh, my gosh.

Should I sell or keep?

Sell!

Mom.

Why are you here?

You boys will be the death of me.

I knew you'd be like this.

I heard you went to a friend's son's wedding.

Your symptoms got a little worse this time.

You never barged in here before.

Next time, I might pull out all my hair.

Okay, fine, Mom. Can't we talk at home?

This is where I work.

Aren't you done with your patients? You were checking your shares.

I was trying to cool off.

Come in.

Have some tea.

Thank you.

Doctor, your next patient is all set up.

Okay.

Oh, right. I want steamed monkfish.

- So what?
- I want it.

Can't I even say that?

See you later. Your hair looks lovely.

That punk is like a monkfish.

Should I cook some for Hyun Jae too?

I should urge him to marry while I'm at it.

Name, Hyun Mi Rae.

Occupation, personal shopper.

Got a marriage license...

to put both names on the deed.

She realized after the fact that the man...

had lied about his education and women problems.

She wants to annul the marriage.

[Park Jun Hyung]

- Hello.
- Welcome.

I'll have a frappuccino.

- Sure.
- Thanks.

Are you Lee Hyun Jae, the attorney?

Yes.

Ms. Hyun Mi Rae?

Sorry for being late.

I asked you to come all the way here,

but I was late because Ms. Sim's sh**t started late.

I thought you were someone else when you didn't come to me first.

I didn't want to keep you any longer than I had to,

so I ordered first.

I see. Thank you.

I read the file you sent.

Shall we get straight to the point, then?

Sure.

You wish to annul the marriage?

Yes. You read my file.

In your case,

I think a cancellation is more appropriate.

What's the difference between an annulment and a cancellation?

A cancellation is for when you were aware of the marriage being filed.

An annulment is for when the man got the license behind your back.

Does a cancellation have a different outcome from an annulment?

If you win an annulment suit, you can get the court...

to delete the license entry from your file.

You can't do that with a cancellation.

It'll say on my file that I was married to that man?

I don't want that. I'll file for an annulment.

You don't always get what you want.

You agreed to the marriage license.

He wanted to put both our names on the deed of the house he inherited.

I thought lightly of a pre-marriage marriage license.

You thought lightly of the marriage license,

but you intended to marry him.

I wouldn't have considered marriage if I'd known he was lying.

I trusted and liked his mother.

I thought highly of her son.

Everything looked rosy because I trusted them,

and I thought it was fate.

I signed for the marriage license,

but I didn't do anything else that would pertain to marriage.

Getting a marriage license is the single most important step.

You don't meet the requirements. Think rationally.

It's hard to accept reality right away.

I'm ready now.

So in my situation,

I should sue for cancellation of marriage.

Can I win, then?

I can never guarantee a win.

I'll just do my best and improve our chances.

I need a few more documents.

Send them to me at this email address.

Nothing is going how I want it to.

I want to take back what I said about accepting reality.

I'm sorry, but right now,

my mother is in touch with another law firm.

It's not that I doubt your competence.

I learned a lot this time.

I trust people too easily and am led by my emotions.

And I make decisions on a whim.

I enjoyed the sense of unexpectedness.

But I can't do that anymore.

So?

I want to decide who to hire based on what the other lawyer says.

I hope you're not offended.

Okay, I understand. Goodbye, then.

Are you angry?

No.

Wait!

I feel so uncomfortable when I make someone angry.

I'm not angry.

Then why do you seem angry?

Do you get angry if you're rejected?

I'm not pleased about it.

Do you think you rejected me?

Ms. Sim recommended you to me.

You might think I'm testing you.

You have a right to choose the attorney you want.

And I respect other people's rights.

[Jin Young Wook, Lawyer]

Honey.

Are you done prepping the meat?

Yes.

Were you crying again?

No, of course not.

I'm frustrated, that's all.

I used to discuss my problems with Mi Rae,

but it's hard to talk to her about her own issues.

It's best to turn a blind eye at moments like this.

Instead, let's perfectly cook her favourite steak dish.

You did a great job. There's nothing to check.

Just so you know, I was fishing for a compliment.

You haven't been showering me with compliments these days.

Your mother will tell you off if she sees this.

I can take that.

Let me do the rest, then.

While cooking the steak dish you and Mi Rae like,

I will find my inner peace.

I'm home.

Oh, hey. Mi Rae is home.

Honey, I'm sorry, but can you finish up here?

I have a few things to discuss with her.

Sure.

[Park Jun Hyung]

Hello?

You picked up.

Aren't you going to talk to me?

We have nothing to talk about.

We're legally married.

Only because I was tricked into it.

Don't you know how the world works?

Signing a contract makes it legally binding.

It is invalid if the contract is based on lies.

We should meet, Mi Rae. Let's talk face to face.

I don't want to.

My mom is here.

- Who was that?
- Oh, that.

Park Jun Hyung.

Darn that little...

That little what?

All right. I won't say anything.

Why did he call you?

- To meet up.
- For what reason?

He should just get ready to be sued.

Anyway, have a seat.

The lawyer I consulted with today...

said you would most definitely win.

Really?

The lawyer I met with said he'd try to improve my chances.

Then it's done.

Go with the lawyer I consulted with.

I'm glad we talked to different lawyers.

I'll think about it.

What's there to think about?

All that we need is positive energy.

We shouldn't go with a lawyer who has a negative attitude.

All right. Then I'll do as you suggest.

I should've stopped you from registering this marriage.

Can we stop talking about that?

You're the one who said we need positive energy.

I'll talk to the lawyer tomorrow.

Don't. It's my business, so let me do it.

Can I have his card?

Did you hear that you need to sue him within three months...

after finding out?

I did.

Gosh. Mom, I'm hungry.

Your dad is working hard in the kitchen.

Dishes rich in protein are best when you're stressed.

- I'll see you downstairs.
- Sure.

Father.

Hey. Are you just getting home?

- Gosh, let me.
- It's all right.

Are you saying I'm old?

My muscles say otherwise.

Oh, wait. Why is this so heavy? Are you cooking something tasty?

I stopped by Yoon Jae's clinic...

and he said he was craving steamed monkfish.

Like grandfather, like grandson.

He takes after me the most. That's my eldest grandson for you.

- We should head inside.
- Sure.

How did your treatment go at Yoon Jae's clinic?

Must you ask?

He has the touch of an angel.

What good does that do...

when he is still a bachelor?

He turns 40 next year, you know.

I get jealous every time a friend marries off her kids.

I can't say I share that sentiment,

but wouldn't Yoon Jae have...

the most adorable and smart children?

I didn't feel jealous before because I didn't want to become a grandma,

but now I want to be one.

What about Hyun Jae? Is he dating anyone?

I'd be less upset if he were.

Why aren't they dating anyone...

when they're mentally and physically fit?

What about Soo Jae?

I'd rather he pass the civil service exam first.

Hey, I told you not to play with that.

Uncle, can't I push it around?

I said no.

But cars should be moved around. Why can't I push it?

That's a mouse, not a toy car.

I told you numerous times that it's for my computer.

Get out and go back to studying.

You're not studying, so why should I?

You always go for the jugular.

When you say that I can't play with it...

makes me want to touch it even more.

I'd love nothing more than to see it slide.

Okay, fine.

But you'll only get to do it once.

Don't break it.

Of course I won't.

No, that's too fast!

- Hey!
- Uncle!

Darn it.

Hey, get back here.

Do you have any idea how expensive this is?

Great Aunt!

- Hae?
- Get back here.

Don't be so harsh on the kid.

But he smashed my mouse.

This isn't just any mouse, you know.

I had it shipped from abroad. You have no idea how pretty it is!

- Boys will be boys.
- As if.

The boy is all thumbs.

He smashes everything he touches.

Not everything I touch gets broken.

Get back here.

You always throw a tantrum...

knowing that my mom will side with you,

but I won't let it slide today.

And what if you don't?

Mom, I'm Soo Jae.

Your youngest son, Lee Soo Jae. Your favourite!

Have you forgotten?

Of course not.

Why do you have to always pick a fight with him?

If this were the old days, you'd already have a son his age.

Why pick a fight with someone that young?

- Great Aunt!
- Great Aunt!

There you are, my sweet puppies.

We came by to do our homework. Can we do it here?

Of course you can.

Soo Jae, help them with their homework.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

You're always so sweet. Go study and I'll make you a snack.

- Sure.
- Sure.

Uncle, I'm sorry.

Just don't do things that I tell you not to do.

I get that I should listen to your warnings,

but it's hard to keep my hands to myself.

I hear you. I feel the same way at times.

Mom, whose side are you on?

Sides? I only side with those who I find sweeter.

Great Aunt, you're so pretty.

You always say the right things, don't you?

Goodness.

The joy of steaks is in the chewing.

Is Jung Hoo not home yet?

He's stopping by the main branch today.

The boy sure knows what he's doing.

Our family never had any trouble,

but Mi Rae has made me lose my appetite.

Mother, don't worry.

We can sue him and make it seem like nothing happened.

What you should never get involved in are lawsuits.

My father...

told us time and time again...

to stay away from lawsuits and standing surety.

Your father was a professor. Didn't he tell you that as well?

It's a different world now, Mother.

Even so, the same rules apply to the people living in it.

Marriage is the biggest event in one's family...

Mom, stop it.

- Stop what?
- Can't you take a hint?

This isn't fun for us either, you know.

Honey, please don't be like that to Mother.

She's only voicing her concerns.

We, her parents, are surely more concerned.

You cried yourself to sleep last night.

Unbelievable.

You may be my son,

but you failed to learn proper manners.

Look at your wife, for instance.

She was taught to be gracious by her family of educators.

Despite being upset herself, she still puts me first.

You can't always say what's on your mind.

Exactly, Mom. You should keep that in mind...

and hold your words in as well.

Why should I...

when I'm living out the latter years of my life?

Honey.

If you had kept quiet, this would've already been over.

She's right. If you hadn't said anything,

Grandma would've been done by now.

See?

Your wife taught the kids well.

Mi Rae is maturer than you are.

Why do you always speak ill about our family?

That's hardly the case.

We come from a family of businessmen...

while she comes from a family of educators.

I guess you can say we're loud and brazen.

This is why one's background is important.

Soo Jung, do we have any sikhye?

Yes, Mother.

I've lost my appetite.

Hey, that must be Jung Hoo.

Speak of the devil, right?

Why would he ring the doorbell though?

- Wait outside.
- Is that Jung Hoo?

What? No, it's not.

I'm stepping out for a bit.

Where is she going in the middle of her meal?

I can't believe you came to my house.

Aren't you too ashamed to run into my parents?

This is how desperate I am.

After telling me that it was over,

you have been avoiding me and declining my calls.

I met with a lawyer today.

Our marriage can be cancelled.

Is this how far you will go?

I admired you, you know.

It was my dream to marry someone I admired.

How could you stab me in the back like this?

If you do admire me,

you should believe my words more than hers.

I told you numerous times that I ended it with her in the States.

What about your child?

I heard that you two are back together...

and that you found her a place to live!

What could I do when they had no place to stay?

I couldn't turn my back on my child, right?

Come on, Mi Rae. I had no idea you'd be this cruel.

It's all in the past now.

This is all because you don't love me yet.

If you did, you'd look past my history and flaws.

Did you agree to marry me because of my mom's wealth?

My parents are just as rich.

Why would you think money would be a factor?

You're the one who agreed to marry me...

on the condition of receiving shared ownership...

of the apartment unit in Gangnam.

Whatever.

Think however you want,

and I'll do as I please.

You should leave.

But I'm not done!

Are you kidding me?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Do I seem like garbage in your eyes?

My patience is running out, you know.

Look here, Mr. Park.

I hoped to see you again sometime,

so I'm glad I did.

- Hey, Jung Hoo.
- We've only met twice,

so I'd rather you not address me so casually.

You should go.

Already?

I'm not one to care about my sister a lot,

but my fist wants to sh**t out for some reason.

Do you know about my martial arts background?

I've been taught not to hit people, but still.

We should drop it.

Getting into it with my junior would only be embarrassing for me.

You never know what life has in store for you.

When Mi Rae and I get back together,

you will end up apologizing to me.

That punk.

Stop it.

Are you going to get back together?

As if.

We should head inside.

I admired you, you know.

It was my dream to marry someone I admired.

- Mom!
- My goodness.

Seriously?

Don't I look different to you?

It's an odd feeling, you see.

I looked at Jun Hyung after registering our marriage,

and he looked different in my eyes.

Of course.

What did he say?

He feels more responsibility toward me.

He has always been reliable, so I guess I won't have...

anything to worry about once you're officially married.

I agree.

Are you already taking his side over mine?

I thought registering the marriage would've put you off balance,

so I came over to go home with you.

My mom is the best.

Meet me at the supermarket after work.

I'll be shopping for groceries.

Sure thing. Let me walk you to the elevator.

No, it's fine.

You're getting a call. See you later!

Got it, Mom.

Can you turn a blind eye to this and marry him?

If you can, I'll back off and congratulate you.

I'm glad the marriage hasn't clouded your judgement.

I honestly believed you could've kept this buried.

All I want is to check the facts.

You already have.

What do you think the photos mean?

Are you two...

still living together?

He comes by from time to time.

I don't want this to be messy,

nor do I wish to pathetically cling onto a man.

What matters to me is my child.

I can't let him be a child out of wedlock.

I hear you loud and clear.

What does that mean?

I'm the victim here,

so I'll focus on recovering from the damage dealt to me.

I'd appreciate your cooperation when the time comes.

All right. It's the final sale of the day.

It's a good bargain.

Please take a look.

- It's very fresh.
- Thank you.

Have a nice day.

It's the final sale of the day.

Hello, sir. You're here again.

- Hey.
- How may I help you?

How is the rockfish today?

It's perfect today.

- Would you like one?
- Yes, please.

You're the best. I love a man who cooks.

All right.

I'm so happy.

W...

G...

Now I'm done.

Hey, you got this one wrong.

No, I didn't. It's right.

No, it's not.

This is correct.

Hey, that's not how it's spelled.

You're in third grade. You're old enough to know that.

I know you're right.

Can't you spell "wings"?

I can. "Wings".

[Wengs]

Kids, have some snacks.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

You guys are so polite.

Great Aunt, I love that you have a lot of delicious things here.

- Great Aunt, you're the best.
- You are the best.

The door is open.

Kyung Ae, it's me.

Hey.

Aren't you guys going to say hello?

- Grandma!
- Grandma!

My little babies.

Who am I?

- My only grandma!
- My only grandma!

Oh, my sweeties!

- Did you finish your homework?
- Yes.

Good.

Let's finish the snacks and go upstairs.

- Okay.
- Okay.

What do I smell?

Gosh, Kyung Ae. Are you making steamed monkfish?

Yes.

I thought you'd attend your friend's son's wedding.

I did.

You must've been jealous.

Why would I be jealous?

It's not common that one family has both a lawyer and a doctor.

My friends are really jealous of me.

You're just saying that to feel better.

Did you know...

that Yoon Jae and Hyun Jae...

would worry you like this without getting married?

I'm not worried. I'm fine.

They will get married once they make up their minds.

It's just that they have high standards.

It's the same for men and women.

You can't marry once you miss your chance.

Someone I know has a son who's single at the age of 60.

So his 90-year-old mom will be throwing him a birthday party.

Stop fanning the flame.

I'm so glad that my son, Sung Soo,

got married young and had three children.

I mean, he had three children for the sake of our country.

He's a true patriot.

That's the only thing you can brag about.

The steamed monkfish looks so delicious.

When I lived in the US,

I missed steamed monkfish the most.

I see. Aren't you supposed to go upstairs with the kids?

She won't even share. How stingy.

I should go.

Sung Soo and So Ra should be home by now.

Guys, pack your stuff. Let's go home.

- Okay.
- Okay.

I'm heading upstairs now.

Gosh, it's so funny.

- I'm home.
- Hey, you're back.

- Mother.
- Yes?

Well... Don't you want to eat some steamed monkfish?

Why? Will you cook it?

Why would I make it?

Kyung Ae is cooking steamed monkfish today.

Really? I should go eat with them.

Mother, you can't just go and eat alone.

What can I do?

I can't take you with me.

And it's not like...

I can ask her to give me some food for my children and grandchildren.

That's just pathetic.

We can't mooch off of them every day.

Why not?

You are Uncle Kyung Chul's only sister.

You deserve this.

Gosh, you can't say that to others.

Kyung Ae will be really upset to hear that.

I won't say that to Kyung Ae.

It's just between us.

Don't say that, not even to me!

No matter what they say, Min h* is my nephew!

I'm not going downstairs either.

Gosh, I'm just embarrassed that I'm living at my brother's house...

with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.

What's so embarrassing about that?

It's not like we're living here rent-free.

Hey. We don't pay anything close to market rates.

And we don't have to worry about getting kicked out.

You're so lucky that I have a well-off brother.

That's why you're living in a decent house...

even after your business went under in the US.

- Mother.
- What?

You're insulting yourself by saying that.

I'm living like this because Man Ri can't make money.

And so are my children.

This is your son you're talking about.

A lot of women get divorced when their husbands go bankrupt.

But I'm still with Man Ri because I'm not like that.

So... What do you want for dinner?

Honey!

Dad, I'm home.

Are you checking your blood pressure?

Yes. You're home late.

Yes.

It's normal.

I'm on medication, so it should be normal.

Did everything go well at work?

Yes. What about you?

Did you go to Yoon Jae's clinic today?

Yes. Go wash your hands and have dinner then.

You must be hungry. I already ate.

Okay.

- Hey.
- What?

Kyung Ae seems somewhat upset.

Why?

You should talk to the kids.

About what?

I think we're cutting them too much slack.

We might end up throwing them their 60th birthday parties.

But they can't get married on their own.

They need partners.

Don't nag at them. It will just stress them out.

I want them to feel stressed out.

Then they will be more desperate to get married.

Hyun Jae lives alone, but he doesn't want to get married.

He's too fine on his own.

He loves to cook.

We need a new strategy to convince him.

Yoon Jae is turning 40 next year.

And you'll retire in two years.

We should marry them off while you are still working...

so we will have more guests.

You have it all planned out, don't you?

All right. I'll talk to them.

It's not that simple. You have to be firm with them.

When I talk to them, they just think I'm nagging.

My goodness.

- It smells great.
- I know.

My gosh.

- Here you are.
- It looks great.

Your steamed monkfish is better than any restaurant's.

Seriously.

- Yoon Jae!
- You startled me.

Coming.

Hey, don't make your mom wait at the table.

The food gets cold.

Thank you, honey. That's what I wanted to say.

Do you have some money saved up?

I just...

Why do you ask?

Marriage is an expensive business.

We need to know how much you have...

so we can prepare accordingly.

Honey. He's 40 years old...

I'm 39.

Get your facts straight.

Just let it go.

Okay, you're 39.

We don't have to pay for anything.

He's loaded. He just didn't buy a house.

If you had bought the house I told you to,

you would've made way more by now than you made on stocks.

Yoon Jae, didn't you say you lost everything on stocks?

Didn't you say you made a k*lling on some bio-pharmaceutical thing?

Bio-pharmaceuticals go up and down all the time.

So did you make or lose money?

Dad, I can pay for my own wedding.

You don't have to do anything.

So don't worry.

Okay. I trust you, son.

You can fend for yourself.

Marriage is the most important decision you'll make.

It should be your call.

Honey, this isn't what we talked about.

Let's just eat, honey. Eat in peace.

Yes, Mom. Let's just eat.

Do you think Yoon Jae made or lost money?

Whether he made or lost money, that's his responsibility.

I think...

he lost most, though.

For real?

Why do you think Soo Jae brought it up?

He spent all his allowance. You get nothing from me.

Come on!

You fell into your own trap.

Dad!

Why are you so indifferent when he lost his savings?

That's in the past.

He can always start saving up again.

Dad.

You're really...

If I ever have a son,

I wonder if I can be half as good a dad as you.

It won't be easy, but it's possible.

You two get along just great.

I'm the only one who's upset.

You have me, Mom. Your sweet youngest.

- Aren't I good enough?
- You are.

The soup tastes great.

It's so good.

- Drive me somewhere.
- Darn it.

I want to bring Hyun Jae some monkfish.

I have to go to work.

Drop me off on the way.

Mom. It's too much for me.

Okay.

Honey, can you drive me? I want to go to Hyun Jae's.

Why so late?

To give him some monkfish so he can have it for breakfast.

He can buy his own.

Why would you go all the way there to give him food?

I asked you to talk Yoon Jae into getting married,

but instead, you say he can do what he wants.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing we say will make him do what we want.

It's not utterly pointless.

The boys do what you say.

They do anything you say.

Do you know how hard I worked to make things that way?

My sacrifice made that possible.

I was always the villain. You were always the trusty liaison.

I made you what you are.

- Did I say you didn't?
- So drive me.

- I'm tired.
- Drive me anyway.

Ask Soo Jae or Yoon Jae.

How can I ask Yoon Jae when he worked hard all day long?

And Soo Jae studies all day long.

I'm tired too.

You still have to drive me!

I'll drive you!

It all works out. I was missing Hyun Jae.

You can't drive, Father.

It's not that far. I can manage.

- I'll drive you.
- Let me drive her.

Father, you aren't allowed to drive.

After that accident,

you promised me you wouldn't drive again.

Thank you, Father.

He changed his mind only after you intervened.

Let's go.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

- Hey.
- Hello.

Steamed monkfish.

Goodness. You came all the way here this late for this?

My point exactly.

You like monkfish.

Mix some rice into the soup.

I can do that without you telling me to.

Don't you work tomorrow, Dad?

Of course I do.

Your mom nagged me into driving her.

It wasn't me.

You gave in only because your father said he'd drive.

Your dad is the greatest son anyone could wish for,

and that makes him the worst husband ever.

My gosh.

Should I become the best husband ever, then?

A terrible son.

That's just wrong.

Do you want tea? Or fruit?

No, thanks. I'll just say my speech.

What is it?

You're so handsome.

What got into you?

You're my son, but objectively, you're so handsome.

You're handsome, smart, and make lots of money.

You're scaring me. What is it you want to say?

You say it.

Your mom says she wants you to get married soon.

You can't put it like that. You agreed too.

Point taken.

What?

I get the point that you want me to get married.

If you get it, get to it.

Don't just say you get it.

How do I get to it?

Get married within the year.

How can I do that when I'm not even seeing anyone?

Why aren't you seeing anyone?

Why is your home always so clean?

Who would date a neat freak like you?

That's an insult.

What does being clean have to do with dating?

You have to have a flaw if anyone is to find you approachable.

You can't accept someone who uses his flaw to get to him.

She must find a way...

through his impeccable wall and personality.

I like that quote, Dad.

Do you?

That was a very nice statement.

You two are the worst.

What?

I heard that, Mom.

I heard it too,

but if you let her know that,

she would feel so embarrassed.

I don't feel embarrassed.

Honey, are you on their side or mine?

I'm on your side, of course.

Why doesn't it feel that way?

If you two said your parts, please leave.

How can you ask us to leave just like that?

You said you'd only say your speech.

Still, it's not okay for you to tell me to leave.

I'm upset now.

Sorry. You can spend the night.

Let's go, honey.

Whether you marry or stay single,

why should I mind when it's your life?

That's the right attitude.

See you.

Kyung Ae.

You haven't called me that in a while.

What is it, Min h*?

Did something upset you today? Enough to make you...

nag the boys to get married?

Ha Neul, Ba Da, and Hae.

They did their homework at our place.

When I gave them snacks, they said I was the best,

but then they ignored me when they saw their grandma.

- Grandma!
- Grandma!

My little babies.

That's only natural.

It is.

But I felt jealous.

You know what I mean.

When I first became a mom,

I was flustered, confused, and terrible at everything.

But our three boys care for no one but me.

I want to feel that again.

But without the responsibilities of being a parent.

Will you write in your journal today?

Didn't I give you a lot to write about?

You did.

To me, living a day...

is the same as living a lifetime.

Once today ends and tomorrow comes,

I might not be around.

I could die in my sleep.

It's like a habit I picked up during my unfortunate childhood.

I think my father spent a day just like any other.

I was pleased to visit Hyun Jae after a long while.

Yoon Jae seems to have lost a lot on stocks.

I didn't let it show,

but I'm concerned.

Soo Jae isn't home yet.

[Reliable Deliveries]

The boxes today are heavy.

- How many does that make?
- Six trucks.

We only have one left.

We still have one left.

No, we only have one more left.

[Bandage]

How did you know?

Put it on. You cut yourself so easily.

Can you peel it off for me?

What are you, a baby?

Here comes the last one. Let's do this.

Thank you.

That's what I'm talking about.

I'll miss this even after I quit this job.

It takes me back to the PX at my military base.

There was this older girl I used to be friends with.

Her family barely scraped by,

and her parents fought constantly which is why she always said...

it was her dream to earn a lot of money and move out.

But then I heard she was getting married to a co-worker...

with a baby on the way.

And?

Working day and night didn't fatten her bank account.

One day, she was crying after being told off by her boss...

and the co-worker treated her to a meal.

After that day, she started falling hard for him.

Today, I finally got to learn how she felt that day.

What do you mean by that?

My heart skipped a beat earlier.

Because of whom?

You.

Hey!

Hear me out, will you?

I don't have feelings for you either.

What I want to say is that...

my heart would've skipped a beat...

if anyone had given me a bandage at that moment.

So you're saying...

you would've fallen for any guy...

who takes care of you when you're exhausted from work?

Bingo. That's why I must be careful.

My heart skipped a beat, but it wasn't love.

I totally get that. I can relate.

Right?

When we date someone,

we should be able to distinguish those emotions.

That alone is why this job...

has been educational for us.

As if.

Once I get my pastry chef license, I'll get a job at a bakery.

There's no way you'd pass.

Take that back. You might've just jinxed it.

I, Lee Soo Jae, never say anything that I'll take back.

Hey!

Soo Jae will clock out at his part-time job...

and come home.

[Soo Jae will clock out at his part-time job and come home.]

Hyun Jae.

You're at work early today, boss.

That's right, senior lawyer Lee.

Why did you just call me that?

Isn't it obvious? This is me praising you.

I'd rather like it in the form of money, not words.

You sure can be cold. Money isn't everything, you know.

Or maybe it is.

[Law Firm Haejun]

Morning.

You're getting in together, I see.

- Hello.
- Good morning, everyone.

What's wrong?

I need a root canal,

but I haven't been able to come across a decent dentist.

That's because you're too picky.

Didn't you say your brother is a dentist?

Why haven't you recommended him to me?

I'd rather keep my personal life out of the office, you see.

But...

Darn, that hurts.

- Come in.
- Ms. Sim.

Yes, Mr. Choi.

Mr. Lee's brother is a fine dentist.

If that were the case,

Hyun Jae would've already suggested that I see him.

He doesn't want me to find out the truth.

He's a well-known dentist in Hyehwa-dong.

He keeps the pain to a minimum.

All members of our family have him as our dentist,

and no one has complained.

The fact that you're here telling me this...

must mean you're about to tell me where it is.

Absolutely.

Hyun Jae, I mean Mr. Lee,

must find it awkward to recommend his brother to you.

However, nothing is stopping me from speaking up.

Good. Please give me his number.

No way. Let me book an appointment for you...

at a time that's best for you.

My wife works there too, you see.

- I see.
- She's the head nurse.

Mi Rae.

Hey, Ms. An.

I heard the news. You're not getting married?

- That's right.
- Oh, dear.

I'm afraid I already handed in your resignation.

It's all right. I've always wanted to start my own business anyway.

This just sped up the process, I guess.

Right. Please let me know if I can help you with anything.

By the way, Ms. Jang just arrived...

and is asking for you.

Have you been well?

No.

Right. The same goes for me as well.

I'm sorry.

The revelation had me stressed out as well.

I even suffered from shingles.

Mi Rae,

it's all in the past though.

They were only together in the States.

You two must have been meant to be,

and I'm so glad your marriage has been registered.

If you forgive him and take him back,

we will forgive him and look past his wrongdoings.

Jun Hyung knows this too.

I've already decided on my way out of this.

Jun Hyung and I can't be together.

Your relationship with Jun Hyung...

is your issue to deal with.

Must you say that...

when I'm here apologizing?

I believe now is the time...

for you to show consideration to me.

I knew I saw something in you.

You are a smart one.

My Jun Hyung needs someone like you.

Is Ms. Hyun Mi Rae here?

Yes, that's me.

I see.

I'll leave these here.

[My love]

[We're destined to be together.]

We're destined to be together.

[Park Jun Hyung]

Hello?

Did you receive my flowers?

What is the meaning of this?

I told you it was over.

And I said it wasn't.

I'm going to make you change your mind.

I know I can.

You've got to be kidding me.

Eat well and stay healthy.

[Jin Young Wook, Lawyer]

[We're destined to be together.]

What's there to think about?

All that we need is positive energy.

We shouldn't go with a lawyer who has a negative attitude.

[We're destined to be together.]

I can never guarantee a win.

I'll just do my best and improve our chances.

Mom, it's me.

I thought about it, and I think you're wrong.

Right. Sure thing.

Mr. Lee, your client is waiting for you.

Got it.

Hello.

I see you made a quick decision.

I thought you'd take longer.

Did you come to an agreement with your mother?

I want you to be the one to take my case.

Well, I decline.

I won't be taking your case.

[It's Beautiful Now]

Are you upset that I tested the waters a little?

He doesn't want a divorce...

and wishes to work things out.

Why haven't our boys been able to marry yet?

I want a family of my own.

Did you have feelings for me?

I don't think Yoon Jae is into women.

She's been on TV a lot!

I don't think I've ever seen her.

Are you and Yu Na dating?

I told you many times that we aren't!

It's time for drastic measures.

- Let's do this!
- Let's do this!

What's with the family meeting?

Whoever brings home a fiancée...

will get the apartment unit in Jangsan-dong.

Don't over think this matter...

and just marry the woman who shakes up your world.

I can't be bothered with dating.
