01x03 - Joining The Race

[bunniefuu]

Then you are all participating in this marriage race.

Dad, I have nothing but respect for you,

but this is still wrong.

I can't participate in an event that is unreasonable and unfair.

Nicely said, Hyun Jae.

The apartment unit is mine!

Nice!

If no one else is interested,

then it'll be Soo Jae's to take.

Hold on a second. Let us wrap our heads around this.

You can't just spring this on us.

Over thinking things is what led you to stay single.

Take Soo Jae, for example.

Once given the chance, he jumps at it.

But Grandpa...

I married your mother when I was a junior in college...

and all we had was the love we had.

Never have I regretted that decision.

It's not like you didn't weigh your options.

You had Grandpa to fall back on.

But we still went through with it...

despite being younger and less fortunate than you.

In that sense, you three are cowards.

- Mom, not me.
- Stay out of it.

Why should I when I'm in the race as well?

Can the three of us talk about this?

Right. Sure thing.

Whether you'll participate in this marriage race or not...

is up to you.

[It's Beautiful Now]

What is up with them?

They tried pushing marriage on me not so long ago.

Maybe they can't bring themselves to give up and let go.

Who will you marry at 40?

Why did you get cheeky in there?

Don't you know why they included you?

He's bait.

It was a smart move on their part.

Are you saying you'll marry just to stop me from winning?

You wouldn't.

As a doctor and a lawyer, you have your pride.

A mere apartment unit shouldn't motivate you.

I wouldn't call it "mere."

Having one in Seoul measures one's social status.

I'm already swimming in loans and interests.

There is new equipment I leased.

I'd do anything that could land me an apartment unit.

This is all your fault.

Why else would they have suggested a marriage race?

This is why I told you to get dating.

How could you not have any dating experience?

What? What do you mean I don't have dating experience?

I have been with women before.

It's just that the relationships didn't last.

What about you, then? Why didn't you ever marry?

I've dated my fair share of women,

and now I'm more focused on making money.

I want my own unit so that I won't have to move around.

Besides, I do well by myself.

Says the lawyer...

who still doesn't have a house in his name.

It's still better than being neck-deep in debt.

You have no shame, do you?

Do you know how much it takes to open up a dental clinic?

We never started off on the same starting line,

- and I had to study longer.
- Darn, I'm freezing.

I'm heading back inside.

I wish you two a merry life...

bickering over who's more pathetic.

Our elders sure are wise.

Is this the best you can do...

when they're offering to feed you gold?

I won't end up like either of you.

As if it'll ever go as you plan.

Hey.

If you're in, then I'm in too.

- Got it?
- Darn it.

Our elders sure are wise.

Talk about a tasty bait.

We're all hooked.

[Notice of Action]

Let's talk in the car.

- Let's talk outside.
- Hyun Mi Rae!

Do you think I've put up with you this whole time for this?

Don't talk down to me like that.

Does the way I talk matter at a time like this?

I put up with everything you did because I knew I've done wrong,

but you're stabbing me in the back.

I've been nothing but nice to you.

Do you think I'm just a pushover?

What was that again? Are you talking down to me?

You started it first.

You're not the only one who has a temper.

Shouldn't you apologize and back off if you know you've wronged me?

I just tried to do you a favour,

but you used violence.

When did I use violence?

You tore up the paper and threw it at me.

Do you think you can walk all over me?

I'm the type who puts up with things until I don't.

You'll see me explode today!

So you've been putting on an act the whole time.

You pretended to be so modest and thoughtful.

You lied to me too, so why are you acting so noble?

So we should end things here.

Why are you being so clingy and obsessed?

Do you think I'm being like this because I like you?

My mom won't give me the money for my business unless I marry you.

So just stay married for three months.

I'll sell the apartment and share the money with you when we divorce.

What are you to decide what I do?

I will get a divorce if I want to. That's for me to decide.

You have no right to decide.

Where are you going? I'm not done talking.

Blood? I'm bleeding!

I was freeing myself from your grasp.

Why did you grab me?

You're a nut case.

Do you know why I've been avoiding you?

I didn't want you to see my worst.

I don't want someone I hate to see my worst!

Just you wait and see.

Things won't go your way.

[My Precious Mom]

I've been nothing but very patient.

I didn't want you to worry.

I feel the same way.

I didn't want to make things worse when you were already upset.

But you know,

we're close friends.

We're closer than anyone could imagine.

I'm facing...

the biggest crisis of my life.

I couldn't bring myself to show you all that.

So I was lonely.

I wasn't lonely though.

I have your dad.

Darn it.

I thought we were having a nice moment.

Can't you console me properly?

I don't want to lie to you.

So you should find a good guy and get married.

I can't say you will completely escape from loneliness,

but it can be a great comfort at times.

I can't get married just for a bit of comfort.

I'd rather feel lonely at times.

You need a good guy to get over a bad guy.

Once the case is over, you should start seeing guys again.

You can start over.

Do you really think I can find a good guy?

I'm off to a horrible start.

I'm not talking about dating.

You can find someone nice from a family we are acquainted with.

You know I married my friend's brother.

- Mom.
- Yes?

I want another bottle.

My goodness. Are you drunk?

No, I'm not.

Excuse me. We'll have one more bottle.

My gosh.

Gosh, Mi Rae. This won't do. Hold my arm.

Mom.

- Mom!
- My goodness.

- Gosh.
- Mom.

You drank too much.

You're drunk, Mi Rae.

Come to me. Don't give your mom a hard time.

Is that all you can see?

Do you not see what I'm going through?

All right. Come here. I'll help you walk.

No! I don't need anyone.

People of the world!

What's wrong with my life?

Hey, be careful. You might fall over.

Should I actually fall over?

No.

Are you all right?

Whenever she gets like that when she's drunk,

I feel like I raised her wrong.

That's not true.

She explodes like that because she represses her feelings.

She's too well-behaved and nice.

She just doesn't know how to go with the flow!

It's all right. Let's go inside.

Grandma!

Grandma.

Did you drink?

Yes. I had a drink.

I hate the world.

I want to live a good and honest life.

But why is everything getting in my way?

I'm sorry I shouted.

Good night.

Oh, right.

I love you.

Mom, are you still up?

How could I sleep?

I wasn't going to say anything,

but as her parents, are you not even worried?

Do you think this is the time for fun and drinks?

Do you want us to cry then?

Now that it's already like this, we should pretend it's no big deal.

Only then will Mi Rae buck up and get over it.

It doesn't matter whether she gets over it or not.

The world will judge her.

It's so pathetic.

Mom...

Mom, please. Why are you being like this?

Soo Jung must be so upset.

Can't I even say that much?

You know I'm really nice to Soo Jung.

And Soo Jung is even nicer to you.

That's why I put up with everything.

No one understands how I feel.

Even my friends say...

I should be grateful that my daughter-in-law lives with me...

and be nice to her.

I'm such a nice person to live with.

If your dad were still alive, I wouldn't have lived here.

What? You said you didn't want to live alone.

And you came here because my sister-in-law said...

she couldn't live with you.

Why would I live alone?

I have my children and my own house.

But what if I die alone in such a big house?

And I don't want to spend the rest of my life...

being sick in a senior home no matter how nice it is.

Do you think I got married and had children for that?

Don't talk about a senior home. Soo Jung might hear you.

What about her?

Can't I say what I want to say in my own room?

Hey, guys.

What? Did you have a family meeting or something?

For what?

Sung Soo, I'm getting married.

And I'm getting an apartment unit.

Says who?

Sung Soo, I'm getting married.

Are you serious?

No, Sung Soo. I'm getting married first.

Make sure to give me some gift money.

What's this?

Are they having a joint wedding?

Mom!

What's all the fuss?

What's in the bag? Is it for me?

What? No, it's all mine.

Here's yours.

You never get the timing right.

You should've waited five minutes.

I saw Hyun Jae on the way back.

His family is losing it.

What do you mean?

If something's up with them, we'll get washed away.

How did I end up in this mess?

What does Kyung Ae have that I don't?

I'm off to bed.

What's the fuss about?

They're all getting married.

For an apartment.

Do they own that many apartments?

Do they have property I don't know about?

Why would you know what they own?

Because they are Mother's only relatives.

You know what her brother's like.

He'll let us keep this house.

Will he give me one too?

Are you filming "Parasite"?

Would we have to if you were more competent?

You're always on the losing end.

It must be good to be them.

If it were for an apartment, I'd get married ten times over.

I'd get married 100 times.

A man can't get married if he's penniless.

I stand a better chance.

I'll remarry about three times and get you a new apartment.

Nice one, Mom. Give me the other one.

My gosh. What a sight, you two.

Is this fun?

It's fun. I should pay them a visit.

Pay who a visit?

Downstairs, to see what's going on.

We're in a symbiotic relationship.

I should figure out what's going on.

No, don't go.

They'll know that I tattled.

Mom, Dad. Hyun Jae is my superior.

Don't get on his wrong side.

This really hurts my ego.

My son and his wife both work for the people downstairs.

Can't you work somewhere else?

I should go home.

Oh, right. Mom.

Don't be so vain.

Darn you!

Honey.

I'm going to bed too.

- I can't stand this.
- Honey.

Don't be so vain.

What?

They're both so infuriating!

Okay, then.

I thank every one of you.

For agreeing to take part in our marriage project.

Don't you think six months is too short?

I married your grandmother after just three dates.

There's not much to it.

It's hard if you think it's hard...

and easy if you think it's easy.

Let me make something very clear.

We're not taking part just because we want the apartment.

We want to live up to your wishes too.

That'll do. Thanks a lot.

Why would you thank him?

They're playing along so I can have the apartment.

Have you forgotten I can do whatever I set my mind to?

Have you two forgotten that I always gave in...

and that I never lost to you once?

You're both bragging again.

Has either of you beaten me even once?

That's enough. This meeting's over. Disperse!

Good job, Dad.

We're done.

Let's see.

[Inbox]

Are you asleep?

No.

You look just fine.

I was tired but I got jolted awake.

I got an email.

Jun Hyung is not on the list of NYC graduates.

We can't be any more disappointed.

Which is why...

I take back what I said earlier.

That you forget a bad man with a good one.

If you meet a man in this state, you'll just fail all over again.

What state am I in?

Why do you always put others before yourself?

You think too positively about others.

That's how you raised me to be.

And I was born this way too.

I like making others look better.

I was born to be a personal shopper.

You can't handle the stress that comes with helping others.

You bottle up your emotions when you cater to others,

and that's why you lose control when you drink.

It's not good to keep things bottled up.

I can't change my personality.

You can.

I changed mine.

Just let it out.

I'll deal with the aftermath.

I will handle my own problems.

You seem to be so smart sometimes.

I am smart.

I'll try to let things out from now on.

Don't change your mind then.

You're scaring me.

Now that I'm scared,

I miss my mom.

Sleep well.

You too.

Come in.

- Mom?
- Are you back from school?

Do I look that young?

My mind is crystal clear right now.

My tongue slipped.

You got me.

You got me freesias, my favourite.

You're still beautiful.

Don't just pair up matching cards. Play with other people too.

Go-Stop is boring.

Nothing is fun these days.

Even books bore me.

You should write a book. You're a great writer.

The last book I write will be a memoir of Dad.

You say books are boring, so what are those about?

Oh, these?

I like poems.

"I want to give you the most beautiful thoughts."

By Na Tae Joo.

"You are prettier than any flower in the world."

That's what I want to say to you.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Bear with me.

I agreed to look after my mother-in-law for you.

I cared for her for a good few years.

Jin Heon will agree to care for you too.

But I...

I don't want to be a burden.

Now, my sanity comes and goes.

You never know how I'll be later on.

That's why you must live with me.

After how you and Dad raised me.

We didn't do anything.

You grew up on your own.

I was worried.

I'd never had children of my own.

So I was afraid that...

my love for you would be less than the instinctual love of a mom.

I was loved more than enough.

And I was happy.

If that's how you think,

I'm grateful.

Oh, how is Mi Rae?

Her?

She met...

a huge turning point.

Thank you for everything.

I will keep calling even after I'm gone,

so I hope we can stay close.

Are you really starting your own company?

That sounds too grand.

I want to try things out on my own.

We should keep a tight rein on our VIP clients.

Or she might take them from us.

Gosh.

[Lawyer Lee Hyun Jae]

Yes, Mr. Lee.

Is the trial over?

The first trial is over and you were given an adjustment period.

That's the only time you'll have to be in court.

Thank you.

Could we perhaps meet up today?

Let me see.

I'm afraid I'm seeing clients until 6pm this evening.

Meanwhile, I'm free.

We can meet on your terms...

and it'll only take about ten minutes.

Hey, Yoon Soo. Sorry for getting back to you late.

Were you out following a story?

I called to ask for a favour.

Can you set me up with someone? You know a lot of people.

[Law Firm Haejun]

I'm trying to get married, that's what.

My standards aren't high, so don't feel pressured.

Hey.

I'm not just calling you.

I've been reaching out to others as well.

Who's that? Oh, okay.

[Lawyer Lee Hyun Jae]

Hyun Jae, are you really on board with this?

What?

Yes, I guess I am.

As you know, I don't do things half-heartedly.

Well, this is unexpected.

You of all people agreed to this race?

I can't take it when Soo Jae gets cheeky.

And Yoon Jae won't back down now that I'm on board.

He's the reason why our parents are doing this,

so I'm playing along.

He might agree to that TV program.

The reality dating show.

He was once offered a spot.

Well, he'd take every opportunity he can get.

Where else would that freak find a woman to marry?

Why don't I let him take the offer that came in for you?

You hate being on those kinds of shows.

No way. He's my opponent, you know.

[Bachelor Class Rank]

[Director Lee Yoon Jae]

Thanks to my job, I score high despite my age.

But dentists really aren't a big deal.

Come in.

Dr. Lee.

A dating reality show has offered you a spot.

Are you interested?

You know I'm not fond of showing myself on TV.

Then I'll tell Sung Soo you aren't interested.

The offer came in for Hyun Jae,

but he forwarded it to you.

Just a second.

Let's keep that on hold.

If you don't want to be on TV,

try being on one of those dating apps.

My friend married someone she met on one.

Your age could prevent you from joining one though.

Why is that?

Am I that old?

Anyway, it's time to see patients.

Ms. Sim is here.

A dating app?

Hello.

You're the first to greet me today.

I'm meeting you for the second time, so it should be different.

It's like you've done a 180.

This isn't the man I met on the first day.

I thought about it...

and you're older than me.

What a jerk. Why would he acknowledge my age?

I tend to be shy around people.

Especially women.

But in this case,

you aren't somebody I'd see in a romantic sense.

You're more like my senior.

What a jerk!

Why wouldn't you see me in a romantic sense?

And that sense of closeness you mentioned.

When you expressed that and came off friendly,

it lowered my walls.

That must be why I seem different to you.

The more he talks, the worse he seems.

Is that what he's been getting at?

So how's the pain?

It's better now.

But plaque seems to build up on my teeth easily...

even though I use a water flosser.

Rather than using a water flosser,

I recommend regular flossing.

It's bothersome.

If this were cleaning,

flossing is like brushing the corners.

You're not washing dirt off with water.

How is it properly used?

People recommend it without demonstrating how it's used.

Just a second.

Take the floss...

and break off at the length of your forearm.

Let me try it.

I'd learn faster that way.

Sure thing.

Here. Give it a try.

This much?

No.

What's wrong with me?

Just like what I'm doing,

take the ends with your thumb and forefinger.

- Sorry?
- Take it.

Right.

Slide the floss between your teeth.

This is embarrassing!

I'll get to it some other time.

Right. Sure thing.

Can I have that back?

I'll adjust your seat.

When would you like to have your next appointment?

Don't I have to be back multiple times?

I'm sure you're busy.

Why don't I try to keep it to a minimum?

No, I'll come by often.

Frequent trips to the dentist are always better.

Dental health is crucial, right?

You sure know what's important.

Would you be free next Thursday?

Yes.

Should I say goodbye to Dr. Lee before leaving?

It doesn't mean anything else.

We just agreed to be friends, you see.

I see.

Dr. Lee isn't one to easily open up to people,

so you must be special to him.

Special?

Can you please talk him into going on TV, then?

One that deals with health issues?

No, a reality dating show!

Come in.

What is wrong with me? Have I lost my mind?

I wasn't like this about 30 minutes ago.

I see you haven't left yet.

Oh, right.

That's not how I should talk to you.

It makes me seem cold, right?

Could he be any sweeter?

I have a patient waiting for me.

I was just about to leave.

Really? Then have a good day, Ms. Sim.

Calling me Ms. Sim doesn't seem right.

Is that so?

Wait. How does Hyun Jae address you?

He calls me by my name in private settings.

We studied in college together, remember?

How about I call you Ms. Hae Jun, then?

No way.

You don't know how to take it slow, do you?

I don't think we're close enough for that.

Well, I apologize.

Maybe I was too harsh.

Have a good day, then.

Sure.

You should decline the dating show offer.

What a beautiful world!

- Where are you off to?
- My part-time job.

But your shift isn't until later.

Don't try to restrain me, Mom. I have other places to be.

What about your studies?

Once I'm married, I won't have to study.

I can start my own business once I sell the apartment unit.

Are you insane? Why are you taking this seriously?

Why wouldn't I?

This was to rope your brothers in, so don't get cheeky.

Mom, you miscalculated.

I won't let you use me this way.

Forget it. You can't marry while jobless.

You told the other two that it doesn't take much to marry,

so don't look down on me.

I have plans of my own and my life has substance.

How does your life have substance?

Hey, Soo Jae. Are you off somewhere?

I am. Have fun, Auntie.

See you.

Kyung Ae, I hear the first son who marries...

will get your apartment unit.

Why are there no secrets in this neighbourhood?

Why would there be any secrets between us?

The last thing I want to do is rain on your parade,

but despite your intentions,

Soo Jae might marry...

before his two older brothers.

What is the matter with you?

Yoon Jae doesn't seem to be into women.

Have you eaten?

Not yet.

There's no need to get upset.

I'm only saying this for your sake, Kyung Ae.

Think of it as a personal dose of the flu vaccine.

I'll skip the vaccine and come down with the flu.

Hey!

You're in a good mood today.

How much would one need to take over this gym?

About 30,000 dollars in premium...

and an extra 10,000 dollars to fix up the place.

So it's not much.

Did you win the lottery or something?

Let me take over.

I'm off to buy my lottery ticket.

Thank you.

Dig in.

Thanks for this.

Yu Na, aren't you in need of money?

Of course I am.

My bank account will dry out soon.

That's why I need to become a certified pastry chef.

What if I gave you some money?

Are you about to con me?

You do know that I'm older than you, right?

The way you talk to me suggests otherwise.

You may be older than me, but I'm more mature.

If that bugs you, we won't hang out.

No, wait.

Be casual with me all you want.

Sometimes, you even seem like the older one.

As you know, I've never had a big sister.

I have two younger brothers, so I'm sick and tired of them.

Why is your guard up so high today?

You're not one to buy meals without something in mind.

Talk about being suspicious.

But that's a good quality. One that puts me at ease.

You wouldn't be easily conned.

That's why I'd like to make you an offer.

One that'll get you a lot of money.

It'll bring joy to us both.

That last statement says it all.

This has to be a con.

Yu Na, this is me you're talking to. Just hear me out.

I'd rather not.

I'm fully aware that nothing in this world is for free.

That's it.

Is that any fun?

I guess it is.

My gosh. Mr. Hyun, it's you.

You should've called.

- Let me take that.
- It's all right.

Where's your trash can?

Right here.

I thought there would be more customers.

That's how it is around this hour.

That's plausible since lunch hour is over.

But more people have been eating during non-traditional mealtimes.

Take brunch or dinner, for example.

Right, of course.

Gosh, I'm so sorry. Where's the tissue?

Can we pay for the meal first?

Right, of course. I apologize.

Your total is 12.5 dollars.

Here you go.

- I'm really sorry.
- Unbelievable.

[Law Firm Haejun]

Oh, you're here.

Everyone must've gone home.

I was just walking out myself.

Have you left home?

No, I quit my job today.

I don't moonlight as a headhunter, you know.

Anyway, is there a reason you wanted to see me?

It's for your wife.

We were off to a rocky start,

but you've been considerate...

and have done well with my case.

This is to show my appreciation...

as I hope to keep getting along.

My wife...

can't take gifts.

It's nothing much.

I'll get her something else if she isn't fond of it.

I don't have a wife though. I'm not married.

Do I look that old to you?

No, it's not that. I just assumed you were married...

since you specialize in divorce cases.

Not even Ms. Sim is married.

You're right. So why did I assume that you were married?

Besides, I don't need gifts to keep me working hard.

Getting emotionally invested isn't healthy, you know.

Gosh.

I'm sorry for being emotionally invested.

I bought it for you, so please keep it.

You won't stay single forever, right?

Save it for her.

Was I too emotional just now?

Could I have upset him?

Following my heart has only complicated things.

Was I right to do this?

The doors are opening.

The doors are closing.

The doors are closing.

Were you avoiding me?

Of course not.

I was.

How would you handle a lawsuit when you are this timid?

That's why I came to you.

I want you to fight for me.

Did it bother you when I said you were too emotional?

How did you know?

I think you are good at getting to the heart of a matter.

But you know what? I was told it's not bad...

to express excessive gratitude.

- By whom?
- I learned from life experience.

I agree.

- Do you?
- Yes.

Really?

You're easy to please

So do you like me better now?

This is what I'm like lately.

I've lost my self-esteem.

I have mood swings.

But when I see you,

you sound so confident.

I want you to compliment me.

The doors are opening.

Thank you.

The doors are closing.

[Relationship Is Beautiful]

This is better than going on TV.

This works better for me.

See, I can sign up for a membership.

Well, I can for now.

All right. Height?

It's 180cm.

Parents' financial status.

How would I know?

I don't even want to know my own financial status.

Yoon Jae.

Yes, Dad.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I was signing up for a dating app.

Is that a thing? Why did you not try it sooner?

I didn't want to.

I'm trying it now because I have no choice.

I'm just doing this for Grandpa.

Why do you not want to get married?

Dad.

There is a right time for everything.

It's the same with studying or marriage.

And once you miss the right time,

it's hard to find another chance.

You and Mom might think...

I'm still popular because I'm a dentist.

But, Dad, I'm biologically middle-aged.

And I'm in debt. I have no real substance.

I must say I'm still single for a reason,

objectively speaking.

I'm so sad.

You just shattered my illusions about you into pieces.

Dad.

Don't tell Grandpa about my debt.

I don't want to shatter his illusions too.

Gosh.

Slide the floss...

between your teeth.

My goodness.

Can you please talk him into going on TV, then?

No!

What do I do?

Oh, right.

I have Hyun Jae on my side.

Did you start working out?

Yes.

You said no when I told you to. What made you change your mind?

Why are you here, by the way?

I came here because of you.

What is it you want?

Nothing. I don't want anything.

Hyun Jae. Well...

You know I went to your brother's clinic.

Is that it?

This is about my brother, right?

What is he doing? Is he seeing through me already?

I know he's a jerk. You should understand him.

He's not an ordinary guy.

He's a nerd.

You know he did well in school, but he's rather nerdy.

Nerdy?

That sounds so retro.

Who says something like that these days?

You sound like an old man at times.

Don't be absurd. I'm not old-fashioned.

And your brother is not nerdy.

You don't know anything.

You will get what I mean once you get to know him better.

Get to know him better?

Right. I should know him better. I mean, he's your brother.

You don't have to.

That's not right.

Give me his number.

I might have some questions after the treatment.

About my teeth.

Ask him yourself.

You can give me his number.

I can't do that.

You should ask him yourself. I'm not sure if he's okay with this.

Hey, do you not trust me?

I do trust you. But I can't give out...

someone's personal information.

Why are you being so fussy after talking behind his back?

I'm not talking behind his back.

You should ask him about me.

He will say something a lot worse. Do you want me to ask him?

Forget about it. You already hurt my feelings.

Ask him.

[Director Lee Yoon Jae]

What?

Do you mind if I give your number to Hae Jun?

My number? Why?

She wants it.

Just make something up. She's not my type.

I do feel comfortable around her, but she's a little...

She's kind of on and off.

I don't want to see her outside the clinic.

Okay.

Oh, right. Don't you need a scaling?

I've been too busy. Can I go there after work?

Just call me before you come.

- And buy me a meal.
- Okay.

Are you going to his clinic after work?

None of your business.

What a clueless punk.

Send me his number.

Aren't you working out?

Why did you come here in the first place?

It's nice that I can sleep all I want now that I'm unemployed.

Aren't you eating?

I ate with the others.

Thank you for the food.

Hamburger steak is my favourite.

Watching what you are going through,

I realized why people say a lawsuit is the last thing they want to do.

Tell me about it. I was confident when I first started.

It was simple and obvious.

- But it's not like that.
- Not at all.

We need a good lawyer. Otherwise, we might be in trouble.

It's fine because your lawyer is doing a good job.

It's surprising that he's not married.

He looks so neat and tidy that I thought he was married.

He might not be married, but he must have a girlfriend.

- Oh, right.
- Soo Jung.

Soo Jung.

Gosh.

It's your grandma. I should bring this to her.

I'm so happy that you're a nice person.

Grandma is so lucky.

- Enjoy your food.
- Okay. I'll enjoy it.

I have no appetite.

How is your mom doing?

She's doing fine.

I'm always grateful to her.

She gave birth to you and sent you to me.

Family background is important.

That's what I've learned from you.

I can tell you are from a prestigious family.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

That's what you should remember next time Mi Rae gets married.

Mother, Mi Rae didn't get married.

It will be her first time.

Oh, you're right.

I hope people will think the same.

But someone from a prestigious family wouldn't feel that way.

If Mi Rae meets someone who takes issue with it,

I won't let her get married at all.

The dried gourd shreds are soft but chewy.

It tastes good with crunchy vegetables.

What do you think, Director Hyun?

I think it goes well with the other menus.

See what kind of combinations you can come up with.

Let's work on them and take them to market.

Well done, everyone.

It was tasty.

Will you visit the store again today?

You still haven't figured out the problem?

We must identify and solve it properly.

I want to keep an eye on them.

Increase the sales at the main store...

and prove your worth.

- To whom?
- To me.

Then I'll leave the company to you...

and spend the rest of my days travelling with your mom.

I don't intend to inherit the company.

That depends on who you marry.

I managed my parents' building...

and started this business so I could impress your mom.

I wanted to show her I was reliable.

Keep showing her that.

I'll work hard for a few years then slack off and travel.

Wake up, because you must work forever.

Hey. Wait.

Oh, my gosh. Open the door, will you?

Oh, dear.

- Hello, Grandpa.
- Hello, Grandpa.

Hello, there. Come over here.

Kyung Ae, the kids are here.

Gosh, I'm exhausted.

Hello, kids.

- Great Aunt!
- Great Aunt!

Are you back from class? What did you learn?

- You tell her.
- You tell her.

I don't know.

Why do they even bother teaching these young kids English?

Kyung Ae, I'm low on sugar. Bring me something to eat.

Eat this. Kids, you too.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Why are you watching the kids and not Hye Young?

She's never at home, is she?

Sung Soo even pays her to look after his kids.

Half of that should be mine.

Why would you say that in front of them?

Because I'm low on energy.

Measure my blood pressure.

It'll be way too high if you measure it now.

- Give it time to settle.
- Goodness.

The door is open. The kids are here, aren't they?

- Dad!
- Dad!

Did you enjoy your classes?

Stop it, your chin is stubbly.

- Hello, there.
- Hello.

You both got off together?

Yes, we timed it just so.

To spend time with the kids.

Thank you so much for looking after them for us.

Not at all.

Will you stay for dinner?

No. I'm grateful enough that you're always watching the kids.

Ha Neul, Ba Da, Hae, let's go.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- I'll go upstairs with them.
- Okay.

- Let's go.
- Let's go upstairs.

I'm home. Oh, you're all here too?

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Say goodbye, kids.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

- Take care.
- Bye.

- See you.
- Bye.

- Goodbye!
- Yes, bye.

- My gosh.
- A storm just blew through.

Those three are so cheerful.

It feels so quiet once they leave.

Our house will be bustling soon too, Father.

Yes, Father. Our plan will be a success,

and we'll soon have small kids running around.

Yes. Good luck to that.

- Yoon Jae.
- Hyun Jae.

- Soo Jae.
- Yes!

[Drummer, aged 39]

What are these hearts?

I got five.

It means five women are interested.

Oh, I can chat with them too.

[Director Lee Yoon Jae]

What are you saying to yourself?

Hello. Sit over there.

I made a profile on a dating app.

It's been less than a day...

and I got five hearts already.

Clean my teeth already.

How can you look at me so pathetically...

and ask me to clean your teeth?

You know I hate losing to you more than anyone else, right?

I do.

But this time, I'm willing to let you win.

You won't let me win. You'll just plain lose.

Stop thinking you can win.

You'll really lose to Soo Jae at this rate.

He's going to fight us tooth and nail.

He can do whatever he wants,

but he'll never bring home a fiancée that soon.

[Mom]

- Hi, Mom.
- Why haven't you called?

You can call me first.

So I did.

Why did you move to Seoul?

Don't you know I need your help?

Your dream means so much,

you don't care if we end up homeless?

I think I did more than enough.

You're selfish to the very end.

We'll see how long you do.

You'll come crawling back when you're penniless.

Yu Na.

Hey.

I knew you'd be here right now.

Why do you always grin whenever you see me?

The bus is here.

Did you think about my offer?

That you'll give me 30,000 dollars if I marry you on paper?

Not so loud.

You are embarrassed about it, then?

I'm not embarrassed. I'm afraid someone will hear.

It's the biggest business deal of my life.

I see that and I won't do that deal with you.

You don't know me well enough yet. I never give up.

Show-off.

Face the front.

The row never ends.

Yu Na. How much do we make doing this?

You have to work ten years to make the money I'm offering you.

I won't do this for ten years.

I'll get a baking license, find a job,

save up, and study abroad.

You'll be way over 30 when the time comes.

You might never get married, then.

Guess what?

My oldest brother's a doctor and he's 40.

He isn't married yet.

Whatever status you may have, it's useless if you're old.

I have no intention of getting married anyway.

I'm sick of people called family.

I'd sell my soul if I could become a patissier.

Are you sure you can even get a baker's license?

It's the exam's fault if I don't.

What are you two doing?

We're down to the last 30 minutes. Can you speed up?

There's too much today. It's double the usual stack.

You can work overtime if you want.

You'll get less sleep, not me.

Don't worry! We'll be done soon!

These are inhumane work conditions.

Don't you want out?

For 30,000 dollars?

Quit chatting. We have no time.

I'll move a stack at a time.

You'll hurt yourself. It's quicker one by one.

This is quicker.

I told you to carry them one by one!

I was rushed.

You never know what's inside each box.

Didn't I tell you to be careful and use your legs, not your back?

Are you hurt?

No.

You're hurt.

I'm not.

Can you manage tomorrow's baking exam with a sore wrist?

Don't try to get to me.

I won't accept your offer.

I'll take that to mean you're not desperate enough.

Rest up. I'll do the rest.

That's not fair. I'll do my part.

Why won't he send me his number?

He's not one to forget.

I'll just remind him to.

[Lawyer Lee Hyun Jae]

Why won't you send me his number?

Will she not give up?

Let's avoid her as long as I can.

Are you off to Ms. Hyun's settlement?

Yes.

Hey.

If Ms. Sim asks for me, keep her away for now.

- So we don't cross paths.
- Okay.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Thanks.

Where are you going?

To the courthouse.

My phone must be out of order.

You probably sent me his number, but nothing has been received.

Your phone is working just fine.

It's you who is out of order.

- What?
- Once you have a goal,

you go out of your way to achieve it.

Is my brother a target of yours?

Of course not.

Exactly. I know he's not.

But your actions say otherwise.

In that sense, you're also out of order.

You're one to quickly take action,

so why is that not the case this time?

Yoon Jae said I shouldn't.

I can't believe you made me say it.

Like I said, he's not your average guy.

Don't be too upset about it though.

It's not because he doesn't like you.

He's just cautious when it comes to relationships.

Pack up your excuses and leave.

Or you'll really see me upset.

Got it.

Darn!

- Shall we?
- Sure.

It's been a while.

Aren't you going to greet your husband?

Divorcing is one thing, but let's still keep it civil.

And who exactly is my husband?

Ms. Hyun, there's no need for verbal responses.

Dogs bark, you see.

Did you call me a dog?

What could've given you that idea?

It wasn't my intention,

but I won't stop you from believing that you are.

- Shall we?
- Sure.

Hey!

Say something, will you?

Since the plaintiff and defendant aren't in agreement,

I'd like to hear from both parties.

We'll start with the plaintiff.

Marriage is based on trust.

The defendant lied to my client numerous times.

About his educational status, the other woman in his life,

and the child they have.

That's why we ask for a cancellation of marriage.

After getting your marriage license,

did the two of you live together?

No, ma'am.

We'll hear from the defendant next.

The plaintiff's memory is playing tricks on her.

This marriage has always been...

her choice.

He told her...

about the women he dated in the States...

and she accepted it.

That never happened.

I told you, remember?

Why are you saying otherwise?

You're only asking for a cancellation of marriage...

because my family won't give up the building as promised.

His head canon...

[Defendant]

A head canon...

is a piece of made-up information that one believes to be true.

Please refrain from insulting my client...

based on lies that only you believe to be true.

I love Ms. Hyun.

He keeps spewing lies...

because his parents won't give him his inheritance...

unless he stays married to me.

Marrying him was a mistake on my part,

and I'm here to correct a wrong.

Due to their not being a middle ground,

it makes it hard for me to settle this case.

I'd have to call a judge.

It does seem like...

the defendant wasn't forthcoming with information...

that could sway one's decision to marry.

However, I will need some time to decide...

whether it's enough to grant a cancellation.

Due to conflicting views displayed by both parties,

a settlement seems highly unlikely.

Let us set a new date for you to plead your case.

[Seoul Family Court]

Hello?

Is this Ms. Hyun Mi Rae?

Yes, this is she.

This is Inspector Kim Chul Soo...

with Seojin Police Department.

How may I help you?

You've been charged with as*ault.

as*ault?

Are you saying I inflicted physical as*ault?

Your husband Park Jun Hyung is the one suing.

- Let me call you back.
- Sure thing.

You need to come down and give a statement,

so please call me back.

Is this what you wanted me to wait and see?

Was that the police?

This is only the beginning.

There's no way I'm settling.

Did a scratch bruise your ego that much?

Have you been working out?

This will take two weeks to heal.

I'll settle if you drop the suit.

Let's not make this any uglier.

[It's Beautiful Now]

Dump her and represent me instead.

I'll pay more.

Just like you belittled me,

I'll belittle you right back.

- You're here.
- How can he be that handsome?

- I'm hungry.
- And I'm broke.

Don't you have any ramyeon at home?

I must be emotionally needy.

Keep being nice to me and I might just fall for you.

Then do so.

Sir, we'll call you as soon as...

the National Forensic Service gets back to us with a result.

There's no need to come by all the time.

This is Lee Min h*.

You guys pushing the kids to marry...

has Hyun Jae turning to someone close by.

It's been a while.

Have you developed feelings for someone?

We won't be seeing each other unless the situation calls for it.

My mom won't fund my business unless I marry you,

so stay put for three months.

I'll give you half once I sell the apartment unit...

and even divorce you.
