01x29 - A Daughter’s Past

[bunniefuu]

Hello, Ms. Jung.

Goodness. My gosh.

I apologize for greeting you while in my bed.

Gosh, Ms. Jung. Please don't say that.

Hello, Ms. Jung.

I'm Soo Jung's friend Jin Ju.

What? Soo Jung's friend?

Mother, she's my younger sister.

I used to use her as an excuse...

so that I could come by the house to see Soo Jung.

Honey,

I'll do as you say.

We should raise Soo Jung.

You saw what was on her arm, right?

She was abused!

We can't drop her off at the police station.

What is she talking about?

Mom, do you recognize me?

You're Soo Jung.

Why would I not recognize you?

Mother must be exhausted today.

Maybe we should let her rest today.

[It's Beautiful Now]

[Episode 29]

What on earth was that? I already forgot what she said.

She said Soo Jung was abused as a kid.

She didn't want to take her to the police station.

What on earth did she mean by that?

Nothing.

Her condition has worsened, that's all.

Even with dementia,

she wouldn't say something that never happened.

Of course, she would.

Is that so?

Anyway, what's taking Soo Jung so long?

What if I accidentally...

tell your mother-in-law that you were adopted?

Mom, being adopted is nothing to be ashamed of.

I have been wanting to tell her, you know.

Yes?

Hasn't your mother gone to sleep yet?

Let's talk for a bit before I leave.

Sure, I'll be right down.

But we lied.

And it's no big deal.

But lying about it makes it a big deal.

It's all my fault.

I hated how people referred to me as infertile.

Will Soo Jung be down here?

She said she would be.

Then what's taking her so long?

Here she comes.

Must you always be this impatient?

Is she asleep?

Yes.

Soo Jung, it's great to see you.

You haven't changed.

And you seem gaunt.

Your mother's health must be taking a toll on you.

It must be exhausting.

What can I do?

Does your mother say things that are a figment of her imagination?

Most dementia patients don't.

Your mother's condition must be unusual.

So when will you be back home?

We hired a caregiver, so it'll be back to visitations.

I'll be home later on tonight.

Right. We should get going, then.

I'm good now that I've talked to Soo Jung.

I have someplace to be anyway.

Where?

To pick up my rental car.

I'll be meeting up with Mi Rae.

Soo Jung, I'm here now,

so let me help you with anything you need.

Thanks.

Father, sit down.

- Let's all sit down.
- Yes.

Grandpa!

We're here.

Good. Welcome, both of you.

Hello.

Hello. I'm Sim Hae Jun.

Why doesn't he like me?

Oh, dear. I'm so sorry. I apologize.

- Did I scare you?
- It's fine.

My gosh.

What's wrong?

Mother, hello.

I made quite the first impression, didn't I?

Right.

Mr. Lee, it's good to see you again.

Yes, same here.

Has Father met her before?

Why don't we all have a seat?

Yoon Jae's mother prepared a delicious meal...

for you to eat.

Please let me help you.

No, it's all right.

My gosh. What on earth is this? How can this be?

Wait. She must also be older than Yoon Jae.

This can't be right. It must be a nightmare.

That's right. This must be a nightmare.

Gosh, that hurts!

Mom.

Hae Jun bought this.

What on earth is going on?

What do you mean?

That woman...

I mean...

How could you be dating Ms. Sim?

What's wrong with that?

She's older than you.

Gosh, she's only two years older than me.

And Mom, don't bring up her age in front of her. Okay?

Let's just talk about good things.

She said she was nervous. Okay?

I don't want to prepare the meal now.

I was wondering who it would be.

And we finally met today.

I wanted to meet you too.

I had a great time when I met with your father.

I thought he was cool and witty.

And more importantly, he was very kind to me.

Was I?

I only remember how nervous you were.

You might not see it, but she easily gets nervous.

I thought she was gutsy, but it turned out she wasn't.

Yoon Jae, come and take these side dishes.

Okay, Mom. I'm coming.

- Should I do it?
- No. Stay here.

You too, honey. You should help.

How can I bring out all the food by myself?

- Okay.
- Should I do it, Mother?

Gosh, no. Just sit down. We'll do it ourselves.

No. Father, you should sit. I can do it.

- It's okay.
- Why is she so aggressive?

No, don't do it.

When Soo Jae brought his girlfriend, she didn't do anything either.

Just stay here.

Why did you bring up Soo Jae's girlfriend?

Because she didn't do it either.

It should be fair for everyone.

Forget it. Just take these.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

This is too much work for her. And she cooked all by herself too.

- You should go and put them down.
- Okay.

Look at that. He's doing everything she tells him.

Mother, let me bring them to the table too.

Gosh.

Oh, no. What a mess. I'm sorry, Mother.

I told you not to do it. Didn't I?

- I'm sorry.
- What happened?

What happened? Are you hurt?

No. I'm all right.

Gosh. You're distracting me.

You two should just stay away.

Hey, stay away. I'll do it. My gosh.

Oh, no.

No. It's okay.

Goodness.

It's all right. We don't bite.

When we first met,

I poured her a drink. But her glass was shaking like this.

Did that really happen? Were you that nervous?

Well, I had never gone to a meeting like that.

I didn't know what to do. So I was very worried.

But I found that amiable.

You're wearing a new shirt.

- This?
- Yes.

It was a gift from Yoon Jae.

Goodness. Then did Ms. Sim buy that shirt for him?

After meeting you,

he came home and said you were very innocent.

Really? Is that what you said?

Thank you.

Sure.

Did he know that Yoon Jae was dating her too?

Only I didn't know.

All right. Eat a lot.

Look at me when you eat.

Since we met before, you're not nervous, right?

No.

Try this.

Gosh. A nutritious meal is the best to beat fatigue.

- Hey.
- Where are you?

I'm in the office. I'm catching up with some work.

Did you have lunch?

Oh, no. Not yet.

I'm cooking today which is not often.

Do you want to eat at my house?

Sounds good.

But I can't stay for long. I'm meeting my aunt.

Okay.

There.

Hello.

Thank you for inviting me.

- Come with me.
- Okay.

Take a seat.

My gosh.

You can cook a dish like this?

Yes, I can cook a dish like this.

Try it.

It's been tough lately, right?

You should eat something tasty at times like this.

You're like my mom.

A boyfriend who takes care of you like a mom.

Oh, my. This is good.

- It's spicy and sweet.
- I see.

What's your secret?

It's just the sauce. Dig in.

Hae Jun went to your house today to meet your parents, right?

Right. They're probably wrapping things up now.

This is so good.

I'll get going then. Thank you for having me today.

You should visit often.

Father, please don't be so formal. It doesn't feel right.

It's hard to drop the honorifics since you're not exactly young.

Mom.

Okay. I'll drop the honorifics the next time we meet.

I hope you can do the same, Mother.

Sure.

I'll see her off then.

Okay. You should drive her home.

I was going to.

- Thank you.
- I'll be back.

Gosh.

- Get home safely.
- Bye.

Bye.

- Gosh.
- You were so adorable.

When you work, you're so fierce.

But you're so nervous around the elders.

Why is that?

I know why.

Why?

Because you like me.

I don't think...

your mother likes me.

She said she couldn't be casual because of my age.

If she doesn't like someone, she doesn't speak at all.

She's talking to you because she feels friendly around you.

I'm serious.

I really didn't want to talk to her.

Then you shouldn't have. Why did you bring up her age?

It's true that I can't be casual with her...

because she's quite old.

Are you sure that doesn't bother you?

Father, are you okay with her age?

Yoon Jae is 40 years old. But she's 2 years older than him.

So what can we do about this? He likes her.

Even so. You should have stopped him.

Are you siding with her because she bought you a T-shirt?

- That's not fair.
- And I'm disappointed.

You knew that they were dating, but you didn't even tell me.

You too, honey. You knew about them too.

He told me not to say anything. What could I have done?

Even if he asked you that, you should have told me.

So is Yoon Jae more important to you than me?

Hey, can't I go to my room?

Dad, you're not getting out of this. You can't just leave me like this.

Isn't it better to be scolded by yourself...

instead of dragging me into this?

Gosh. Fine. I'll take one for the team.

My wife has the most power in our house. What can I do?

Gosh. This is absurd.

Fine. Let me say this as the most powerful person in the house.

I'm against this marriage.

No. Wait. Honey.

Goodness. What's wrong with her?

Do you not like her that much?

What did I tell you?

I told you...

I would thoroughly vet the women our sons brought home, didn't I?

Do you think he won't marry her just because we disapprove of her?

If you disapprove,

you'll only ruin your relationship with Yoon Jae.

He's 40 years old and finally decided to get married.

Do you think our disapproval will stop him?

Her age isn't the only issue.

She has a nasty personality.

How could you know what she's like after meeting her once?

I met her for the first time in the elevator...

at Hyun Jae's law firm.

She suddenly screamed. Imagine how scared I was.

It's not her age. Her personality is the problem.

Gosh. Seriously.

I get scared when our sons bring women home with marriage in mind.

I'm scared to meet them.

Hyun Jae will bring a good one home, right?

Gosh. I don't know if I should tell you this or not.

Hyun Jae told me I could tell you.

But you might be worried once you find out.

So I didn't tell you.

But a part of me thinks...

it's better to find out everything at once.

What is it? What kind of woman is she?

Was she divorced or something?

It's good if you're ready for that.

She wasn't divorced.

She was Hyun Jae's client who wanted her marriage annulled.

No. Don't tell me that.

Pretend I never heard that. Tell him not to bring her home.

I told you. Okay?

I'm against that marriage too.

I think she'll oppose their marriage.

If Ms. Han finds out that Mr. Lee is dating a woman with a history,

she wouldn't let them be.

He didn't yet say they'll get married.

But my mom's hunch is usually right.

She was the first to ask if they liked each other.

Back when Ms. Hyun tried to get her marriage canceled.

She does tend to be right.

Anyway, don't tell Ms. Han.

I already told Mom.

Already?

You have a big mouth. It's not just big, it's huge.

Mom!

We're hungry, Mom.

- I'm hungry.
- I'm hungry.

Okay. What do you want now...

when you all just ate?

- Dumplings.
- Tteokbokki!

I want ice cream!

You all want different things!

You do. Let's go, then.

Let's go!

Where's your car parked?

Over there.

Okay.

Where are you meeting your aunt?

At the store, I'm often at.

Mom said you could visit my grandma.

Good. I'll visit soon.

Good.

How about this?

You have a great figure, so anything looks good on you.

Don't say that.

Recommend something like the expert you are.

What bag do you think would suit this?

How's this?

People prefer smaller bags these days.

I visited your grandma earlier.

She said something weird.

Have you heard anything?

Something weird?

She usually talks about the past.

Says who?

My mom.

Your mom? Soo Jung?

Yes.

Now...

It's not easy at all.

Who should I ask?

[General Manager Hyun Jung Hoo]

Hello, sir.

I called because I got stuck making meringue.

You said I could call if I had any questions.

Yes. What are you stuck with?

It sounds like you're outdoors.

A good friend opened a macaron store,

and I'm on my way there.

It's not a pressing question. I'll ask you tomorrow at work.

Okay.

[Star Macarons]

Hello.

- Yu Na!
- Hello!

- Yu Na!
- Gosh.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Your store is so pretty.

It's still a mess. I only just opened it.

No, I think it looks fine.

Are macarons your specialty?

Yes, and handmade cookies.

You like to bake cookies.

Will you critique mine?

Okay.

Do you have lots of customers?

Most products are delivered.

The store's open twice a week.

I don't have many visitors because I'm working on PR.

Don't worry. It will be a success.

Thank you.

- This is adorable.
- Isn't it?

You're pretty good at this.

Are you sure it's your first time doing this?

Yes.

Cleaning is a talent.

You have what it takes.

I don't have talent.

Or else I'd have passed the test.

You were sick the day the test was held.

You'll pass this time.

Who would if you don't?

Thanks for saying so.

Will you stay at Bong Food?

I'll find work at a bakery once I pass the test.

I saved up some money.

Good for you.

If you have a dream, the sooner you aim for it, the better.

You're so amazing.

You do whatever you want without weighing options.

My parents are the amazing ones, not me.

This is all their money.

That's a blessing too.

You're so innocent and pure.

Why aren't you with Soo Jae?

What?

I thought you'd come by together.

So I didn't even bother to contact him.

I haven't seen him in a while.

What does he do nowadays?

Did he pass the exam? Is he a civil servant?

No.

I should give him a call.

Wait.

I have to go.

Oh, okay.

What do you want to take away? Cookies or macarons?

Macarons.

- Don't make such a fuss.
- Come on.

Mom.

Shall I show you what I bought?

Sure, let's take a look.

Here.

What's in here?

Ta-da. This is for you.

You got me something?

Of course, I did. Would I have bought just mine?

My goodness.

It's beautiful. It's lovely.

Mom. Soo Jung doesn't buy you stuff like this, does she?

I have too many, so I give her mine.

It feels good to have a lot.

That's why they say kids are all you're left with.

The best of all is a daughter.

Jin Heon won't dare go against Soo Jung.

He doesn't. I wonder where he got that from.

Mom.

Money is meant to be spent.

What if you keep your assets...

and, though this must never happen,

you end up getting sick?

What good is money then? Look at Soo Jung's mom now.

She was healthy one day, fell over, and now she's bedridden.

You can never guarantee the well-being of the elderly.

Mom. That's why...

you should sell the building in Okje-dong and spend the cash.

What are you talking about?

Think about it.

What good is a building? It's hard work to maintain.

If you sell it and give me just a sliver of the cash,

I will buy you the stuff you like...

and take you places you want to go.

Wouldn't we be able to have such great fun?

Did you fly in to say that?

Goodness. Would I have made the trip to say that?

It just happened to come out.

I will keep that building until the day I die,

then I'll give it to Soo Jung.

What? Why would you give it to her?

She treated me the best.

Once I lost my husband, however useless he was,

my kids were the first ones to look down on me.

Do you think I forgot that?

Yoon Jung Ja is still going strong.

I still have a clear mind.

Goodness. This is why I don't come to Korea.

You care for no one but Soo Jung.

She's your daughter-in-law. You're not related to her.

I'll be the one to look after you in the end.

As if you would.

What did you say when...

your oldest brother kicked me out after a month?

"Mom, your personality stops you from getting along with people."

"Keep it in."

"Or you'll end up at a care home when you're sick and old."

Didn't you say that?

You remember that?

Do you think I don't have any complaints?

I have lots to say myself.

Shall I talk about my school days?

You know how you treated me then.

I gave birth to you all myself,

but why are you all a mess?

I wish you were half as good as Soo Jung.

Mom.

Don't you think she's a bit strange?

Strange how?

You were there too with Soo Jung's mom.

Was it all just gibberish?

She said Soo Jung was abused...

and that she shouldn't be taken to the police.

I still don't understand what that all was.

Mom, whenever I went over to her house,

I noticed that she and her mom...

didn't have the average mother-daughter relationship.

They never argued loudly like we used to.

Their interactions were gracious, elegant, and quiet.

How can that be possible between a mother and daughter?

Every family has its own dynamic. There's nothing odd about it.

Don't upset Soo Jung in any way...

and spend your days here quietly.

One day, you might get stabbed in the back for this.

How can you trust her more than your own daughter?

We're home.

It sure is nice to be home.

Mom, are you all right?

I'm good. Where are your grandmother and aunt?

They got into it earlier. I could hear them arguing.

- What about Mi Rae?
- Probably in her room.

She was going to go to the hospital.

But she decided to stay after hearing you were coming home.

Me too, for that matter.

It feels weird to know that Grandma Mi Young is...

in the hospital.

I have something to say to you kids.

I'll come upstairs after seeing your grandmother.

It was fine with his grandfather since we met before.

Also, his father is an absolute gentleman.

But his mother was a little scary.

Is his mother the scary type?

I'm sure she'll be nicer to you.

It's just that our first encounter didn't go so well.

I see.

Hyun Jae wanted to introduce me to his father,

but we had to postpone because my grandmother got sick.

Come in.

My mom just got back from the hospital.

I'll call you back some other time. Sure.

I see you were on the phone.

Why are you all in my room?

Well, I had something to tell you two.

What is it?

Your grandmother's situation...

might be more like a marathon.

I don't want your lives to be affected by it too much.

Will she remain hospitalized?

Yes. We hired a caregiver for her,

so I'm going to think of it as our new normal.

Is there any alcohol in the house? Maybe a beer.

We do. Would you like some?

Mom gave me an earful...

after I suggested that she sells her building in Okje-dong.

Why aren't you saying anything?

It's her property, so it'll be her decision.

She's going to bequeath it to you once she passes.

- To me?
- Is it news to you?

Yes.

I bet it feels nice to hear that.

Gosh. Well, yes. I guess I can't complain.

I have always thought...

that you were from a different planet.

You're too elegant and gracious.

I envied what you had whenever I was at your place.

Your father was a college professor,

and your mother was collected and refined.

Meanwhile, my mom had a voice that roared like a train engine...

and was nowhere near being elegant.

But your mother is the same inside and out.

We all have our pros and cons.

But you see...

Every mother and daughter around me...

have a relationship that resembles ours.

You and your mom have one that is abnormally special.

Gosh, I'm exhausted.

Can I turn in for the night?

What your mother said today.

I can't get it out of my head.

I was never studious,

but I could remember things easily.

Good night.

I have always thought...

that you were from a different planet.

You're too elegant and gracious.

I hate it.

I hate that it reminds me of myself.

It's something I don't wish to remember.

I feel like I'm back to being the three-year-old...

who was found wandering around the train station.

If only your father were still alive.

He loved you dearly, you know.

When you first met us,

"Dad" was the first word you said.

Dad.

Dad.

Yoon Jae must be back.

Hey, Mom.

Are you just getting back?

It took you a while.

We had dinner together and talked for a bit.

You have no idea how baffled I was.

I bet you told your dad and grandpa to keep this from me...

knowing that I'd be against her.

I thought it'd be better to stir a commotion...

after you meet her and not before.

Besides, you're biased when it comes to Hae Jun.

I'm not biased at all. I know what I experienced.

I heard about your previous encounter.

And it's true that she made quite a scene in the elevator.

But it's only because she's expressive.

You've lost your mind.

Why else would he want to get married?

Shut it, honey.

Yes, ma'am.

All right.

Her age and personality. I'll let it slide for now.

What about kids?

What kids?

Didn't you talk about that with marriage on the table?

Aren't you going to have any kids?

We haven't talked about that yet.

How can you not consider that when you're getting married at 40?

Was no planning involved whatsoever?

They don't get married to have kids these days.

Some couples choose not to have any.

- I told you to shut it.
- This isn't the Middle Ages, Mom.

We'll have children if she happens to get pregnant.

Before, all you wanted was for us to get married.

Now you're trying to stop me for some reason.

Honey, did you see him just now?

He looked straight at me and talked back.

That's why I told you to drop it.

You're only hurting your relationship with him.

Well, I'm not a coward like you.

I'll say what's on my mind even if that costs our relationship.

Unbelievable.

I told her most of it.

About what happened in the elevator...

I told her that happened because you were an expressive person.

What did your father say?

He respects our choice, of course.

Even when we were boys, he respected our decisions.

If I ever end up having children, I want to be...

the same kind of father.

If you have children?

Gosh. Yoon Jae, about that...

You know what?

We should probably talk about this in person.

Right. Got it.

I miss you already though.

Same here.

Hyun Jae!

You seem to be in a good mood, Ms. Sim.

Meeting my family must've gone well.

What could've gone wrong?

I'm already fond of your grandpa, father, and mother.

That's not what my mom said.

What did she say?

Are you curious as to what she said?

Yes.

Well...

How would I know when I haven't talked to her since?

Why you...

How's Mi Rae's grandmother?

Why do you ask?

The four of us should grab a meal. We didn't get to the other day.

Would she be free for dinner?

Yes, I think so.

Her mother said it'd take a while...

and they should get on with their lives.

Mi Rae's mother is a wise woman.

Right.

So tell me. What would you like for dinner?

Stop that.

At 2pm, you have a meeting with the lawyer...

regarding the aged-out kid you're representing.

Got it.

Did Yoon Jae get back with his evaluation...

on the panoramic radiograph?

Yes. I had it emailed to you.

By the way,

how did it go with Ms. Sim's visit to your parents?

Does your mom approve of her?

As if that matters.

When two adults want to marry,

no parent can stop that.

Wouldn't my parents be aware of it too?

They'll pretend to like her even if they don't.

How laid-back of you.

Marriage mostly depends on those getting married.

Then what if...

Ms. Hyun's parents disapprove of you?

Sung Soo, when I'm in love,

I go all the way.

I'll get going, then.

You guys forcing marriage on the boys...

must've led to Hyun Jae choosing someone close to him.

She's a client in a marriage cancellation case.

I think she's a victim of a fraudulent marriage.

That's when it all started.

You startled me. What was that, honey?

Hye Young was also aware of Hyun Jae's feelings for her.

How is that important right now?

Can't you talk to him?

He always listens to you.

Tell him to take his time and not to rush into marriage.

How can you be this way without meeting her first?

He's going to introduce me to her anyway,

so I'll tell you about her afterward.

Why just you? I want to meet her too.

Take me with you.

My gosh.

What on earth are you two doing?

Isn't it obvious?

We're having gimbap for breakfast.

How can you not be sick of this when you're in the gimbap business?

It never gets old.

Where's Soo Jung?

She went to the hospital.

Did Mom go to the hospital?

- Yes.
- Right.

- Are you leaving already?
- Yes.

I packed this for you to take.

Eat it when you can.

Sure.

So when will you introduce me to your lawyer boyfriend?

Are you going to marry him?

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

Mom already met him.

- I'll head out then.
- Sure.

Soo Jung sure got lucky.

Marrying a man like Jin Heon...

has her now living like a queen.

If you had married the man I had chosen for you,

you would've had a luxurious life as well.

Can you please stop bringing that up?

You're the one who gave up and backed off.

Mom, I bet it's nice to have me back in Korea.

Here I am driving you to yoga class.

There isn't a parent in this world who isn't happy to see their child.

You giving the building to Soo Jung...

was your way of provoking me, wasn't it?

No, I meant it.

Unbelievable.

I should drop you off and go see Jin Heon.

What did you come all this way to talk about?

How on earth have you been treating mom?

What do you mean?

Mom's going to bequeath...

her building in Okje-dong to Soo Jung.

That's absurd.

That's news to me.

I had no idea that was on her mind.

Fifty percent of that is mine.

Our big brother already took what he was entitled to,

and he doesn't deserve more since he doesn't care for Mom.

You received what you were entitled to as well.

Not all of it. She still has assets left.

Besides, what she owns...

will be bequeathed to her children when she dies.

Why can't she hand it over when we're in need of it?

I'm not interested in it...

and neither is Soo Jung.

You and Mom can deal with it.

Are you sure Soo Jung isn't interested?

I'm sure.

She's just impossible to read.

It has always been that way. Gosh.

Don't you find her too gracious at times?

In other words, she's classy.

Or it could all be an act.

How did she get Mom on her side like that?

Place both your hands on your hips.

Now, rotate your hips by making a big circle.

Guys, aren't I good at this?

Yes, I see you're keeping up.

Hold on, Jung Ja. You're in a good mood today.

My daughter is visiting from Australia.

I see.

How sweet of her.

I can't believe she drove you all the way to your yoga class.

Since she's visiting from Australia,

she must have her whole visit planned out.

She's not exactly the devoted daughter.

You have been blessed with all the luck in the world.

You have sons, a daughter,

a sweet daughter-in-law, and money.

- Hey, Mom.
- She's here.

Say hello to my friends.

- Hello.
- Yes, hello.

Just like you, she's full of glamour.

Thank you.

Are you two married?

- No!
- Gosh, no!

I beat you to it this time.

She's appalled whenever someone thinks we're married.

Brother!

You must be brother and sister.

- Let's get going.
- Sure.

- I'll see you around, then.
- Sure.

My feet are k*lling me.

Gosh, what a day.

Tell me about it.

My gosh.

Shopping blasts all the stress away.

I bet it was spending my money that did the trick.

You're not wrong about that.

Mom, would you like some sikhye?

Sure, I'd love some.

Wait. I'm curious about your friend from yoga...

who I met earlier.

Who exactly? Mr. Lee or Kyung Soon?

The brother.

He seems familiar for some reason.

As if. Where would you have seen him?

I'm not kidding. He reminded me of someone.

Even as a girl, you said the most peculiar things.

So this was where you were.

Hey.

What were you going to ask over the phone the other day?

I failed my meringue, you see.

I couldn't get the egg white to stiffen...

even with a whisk.

It's nearly impossible to make one without a hand mixer.

You should get one.

They come as cheap as 30 to 40 dollars.

I looked it up online,

but there were too many to choose from.

I didn't know what to buy.

Where do you buy your equipment?

At the baking market.

I go there sometimes to look around even when I don't need anything.

When would you be going there again?

Maybe after the exam.

Please take me with you when you do. I almost forgot.

What's this?

Taffy that'll bring you luck. I thought it'd be better than tteok.

Thank you for this. I wouldn't have minded either.

Come in.

I escorted the lawyer inside and served him a cup of tea.

Okay.

Why don't we work toward a settlement?

My client has been insisting that he will not settle.

Out of the evidence that was submitted,

I checked the plaintiff's panoramic radiograph.

He claims that my client knocked his teeth out.

That's right.

I had a dentist go over the x-ray.

According to your client,

the tooth was knocked out during the recent scuffle.

Right.

However, this wasn't knocked out recently.

Not taking necessary measures after a tooth falls out...

leads to a deformation of the gums.

That is evident in this x-ray.

Here you go.

[Law Firm Haejun]

Let's settle.

If your client continues to refuse, we'll sue him for false accusations.

You'll learn once you marry,

but you can't live with someone...

who doesn't share your financial values.

I still better not risk buying more shares.

All I need is love.

Let's do it.

She only cares about love.

I should give her lots of money.

[Director Lee Yoon Jae]

Hey, Hyun Jae.

[Lawyer Lee Hyun Jae]

Thank you.

I think I'll be able to reach a settlement...

with your analysis on the panoramic radiograph.

Hey, don't thank me. You were the one who defended him.

Hae Jun told you about our dinner today, right?

Yes. I know.

I made a reservation.

I'll meet with Dad and update him. Then I'll go over there.

Gosh. Good work.

Yong Jin was so worried. I'm so relieved to hear that.

Gosh. I didn't do much.

You were the one who tried to help him.

Right. I told your mom about your girlfriend.

What did she say?

She wants you to take things slow.

I told her I would tell her about your girlfriend after I met her.

She said she wanted to meet your girlfriend too.

Really?

Okay.

Your mother was shocked to find out Ms. Sim was dating your brother.

A part of me wished that I told her in advance.

I was really shocked too.

I didn't even imagine that they would be dating.

But now, I accepted that.

I'm sure Mom will come around too.

She said she just wanted him to get married.

Your mother thinks differently now.

Yoon Jae. Hyun Jae. Soo Jae.

You jerk, Min h*.

You little...

You jerk! You little...

- Hey!
- Kyung Ae.

You might break the machine, not the groundhogs.

I want to play another round. Get some more change. Hurry.

Okay.

You jerk!

Those darn Lees!

You little...

You two resemble each other a lot.

We don't see the resemblance.

You do.

I heard when men and women look alike,

they'd have a good marriage.

- Really?
- Yes.

Do we look alike?

Well...

- I think so.
- I see.

Hold on. Bring your faces together.

Well, you don't resemble each other at all.

When are you getting married?

I haven't met Hae Jun's family yet.

I talked to my brother.

- He'll tell me when he's free.
- Really?

I can't still believe that you're getting married.

Me neither.

Right. You should meet his father too.

Should I?

Sure. Okay. After I visit your grandmother.

All right. Yoon Jae. Hae Jun. Raise your glasses.

Congratulations...

on meeting our family which is the first step to marriage.

Of course, we have to wait until you guys walk down the aisle.

- Come on.
- Take that back.

Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Why are you doing that? Come on. Tell me why.

How are you getting home? You're the only one without a car.

Let's take my car to my house first.

- Why would you do that?
- I will. I can't let her go alone.

Gosh. You always talked about being efficient. You changed.

Don't be rude to your brother.

Nice.

Gosh.

Hae Jun. You changed too.

It's me. Hyun Jae. Are you serious?

Yes, I am.

Hyun Jae, you have me.

- Goodness.
- Gosh.

Yes. We should all live our own lives now.

Okay.

Hey, the chauffeur must be here.

We'll get going now.

Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Good night.
- Bye.

Bye.

They must like each other a lot.

I like you a lot too.

By the way,

people have been telling us that we look alike a lot these days.

Right.

I don't think we look alike, though.

Come with me.

I do see the resemblance.

Is it true that couples who look alike...

will have happy marriages?

Yes. These old sayings are usually credible.

Will you go home after you drop me off?

No. I won't.

- I'm back.
- Hey.

Soo Jae.

You've been working until now?

Where have you been?

Here and there.

Only you and I didn't know...

that Yoon Jae has been dating the CEO of Hyun Jae's law firm.

Gosh. If you knew, you would have told me.

Your brothers, your father, and your grandfather.

How could they keep this from me?

When will you cheer up?

I need you to be cheerful when I talk to you.

That way, talking to you will be fun.

- I'm tired.
- I'm tired too.

But I'm trying to cheer you up.

Thank you, Mom.

I had to get it out of you.

Why is he calling me? He should be home already.

- What is it?
- Mom.

I'll sleep over at Hyun Jae's house.

What?

Good night.

As if you're sleeping at Hyun Jae's house.

You can't fool me, you punk.

What did she say?

She didn't say much. She said she got it.

Really?

Yes. My mom believes everything we say.

She's so innocent.

So sometimes, she falls for our lies.

I shouldn't say this about an elder, but she's adorable.

She is.

You're more adorable.

Dad, I'm heading out now.

Hey, Mi Rae. Wait for me. It's only a minute difference.

I bet 1 minute feels like 30 minutes.

I know you're meeting your boyfriend.

Hey, get your facts straight.

I'm visiting Grandma with my boyfriend.

It's ready.

I'll pack it up once it cools down.

[Hanguk University Hospital]

"Out of everything I say in this world,"

"I want to tell you the most beautiful thing."

- Gosh. I'm sleepy.
- "Out of..."

Really? You should get some sleep before they get here.

- What?
- Mom.

- Mi Rae is here.
- Grandma.

I got here first. Hyun Jae is coming from his house.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

You must have woken up. You said you were sleepy.

She said she was sleepy just now.

- Really?
- Yes.

- Hyun Jae.
- Hi.

You were out here?

Yes. My grandma fell asleep.

What should we do, then?

See my mom first.

Okay.

It's tough, isn't it, Mother?

Well...

When a member of the family's sick,

it's hard on you physically, but also mentally too.

How do you know that?

Was someone in your family ill?

No, not exactly.

But that's how I thought it would feel.

Look at this, Mom. He prepared all this.

All this?

Yes. I told him you liked abalone.

They're cooked in olive oil and butter.

We can have two each.

You must be a good cook.

That must be why the food I had made for him wasn't good.

The food I brought you last time was my mom's cooking.

The tofu skin rice ba*ls.

I'm so sorry.

I should've said they were good.

Now he says even my burned kimchi pancakes are good.

She's a better cook now.

Grandma. Hyun Jae's here.

Mom. Mi Rae's boyfriend brought these flowers.

Oh, they're so pretty.

Hello, ma'am.

I'm ashamed you must see me in this.

I should've visited sooner. I'm sorry.

Don't be.

You're handsome, whenever we meet.

You two look great together.

It was nice to see your grandmother.

I want to meet your father too.

When you meet my dad, can my mom join us?

Your mother too?

Yes. I think she said she wanted to be there too...

when you met my dad.

I don't mind.

- You're okay with it?
- Yes.

Okay, then.

How do I look?

You asked so many times since we left home.

I said you looked fine. You look lovely.

Won't we arrive too soon?

We must arrive after them.

You don't have to worry about that.

I feel nervous.

You look really tense.

Like a student interviewing for a place in school.

I won't be nervous.

I'll scare her off...

so she says she doesn't want to marry Hyun Jae.

You look nice today.

Do I look okay?

They won't be here for a while, right?

They'll be here soon.

My dad always arrives ahead of time.

My grandpa used to be like that.

Do you feel nervous?

What?

A bit.

Get me some sikhye.

Okay.

Sikhye...

There isn't any.

Soo Jung's busy with her mom and let us run out of sikhye.

Shall I buy you some?

I don't like that stuff.

You need to change your ways.

Why don't you like that stuff? They sell great products these days.

You're exhausting to cater to.

Did I ever exhaust you?

Did I say you exhaust me?

If you're like this,

the people you live with won't like it.

Did Soo Jung say that she doesn't like living with me?

Would she say something like that?

I'm telling you because only I can.

You might be well and fine now,

but later on, if and when you get sick...

and you need constant help...

Why would you even care about that?

Did I say I'd live with you?

I won't. Don't worry.

Who would worry about you if I don't?

You come by once or twice a year...

and say stuff pretending to care for me.

You say the exact stuff your dad's sister used to say to me.

- Whatever.
- "Our mom looks worse for wear..."

"compared to the last time we met."

And she never looked after her own mom.

The people I live with mean the most to me.

I'm home.

Were you with your mom?

Yes.

You look like you're upset.

Mom and I just argued.

You patch things up right away.

I don't want to do that right away.

Why not?

I'm annoyed.

Why is my mom just the same even in old age?

She never lets anything go.

That's why she's still so healthy.

I like that about her.

Why do you like that?

You're a bit sensitive. Let's talk later.

Soo Jung.

Your mom.

What she said when I visited last time.

Did she talk nonsense that was made up,

or was she unable to refrain from speaking the truth?

"Honey, I'll do as you say."

"We should raise Soo Jung."

"You saw what was on her arm, right?"

"She was abused."

"We can't drop her off at the police station."

If I were to take that at face value,

I'd think...

you were adopted.

[It's Beautiful Now]

- You passed?
- Yes!

You can quit Bong Food now.

I thought of the one person...

I wanted to share the good news with.

Do you know what I regret the most?

"Why did I drag Yu Na into all this?"

I managed to come this far thanks to you.

That's good to know.

Why did you not marry until now?

It's more like I couldn't marry.

Where are you going to live?

Does your brother not like me?

Is marriage on the table?

Marriage?

Mi Rae's case was less than a year ago.

Would it be that easy?

Is your grandmother still unwell?

Could you not have children?

Will you stop it?

What are you sick with? I think you have a fever.

Get a physical checkup.

You're at the hospital every day anyway.

She must know her family history.

She must watch her liver condition.

I hope she's looking after herself.
