03x13 - Episode 13

[bunniefuu]

Is she? Is she not?

Is she or is she not?

She is.

What's so funny?

It's nothing.

What is?

I was thinking about that time
I had soju at a funeral.

I'll tell you some other time.

This is odd though.

Why is he coming over
when you're not married yet?

Could he be here already?

It's Dad and AM.

Dad.

-Hey.
-Hi, Ji-a. Where is she?

In the kitchen.

My father-in-law will be here soon.

-I'll go and change.
-Okay.

-I'm not leaving.
-Mother, you're not well.

Don't be ridiculous.

Guests will be here soon, so leave.

Why? Is he coming over for breakfast?

The last thing I want is a commotion.
Leave.

-Mother--
-There's no time for this.

-Leave without her.
-Go.

It's not like I can't be here.

Don't let her be alone

and call me once your guests leave.

Hurry with the steamed eggs.

Is that her future father-in-law?

No way. And is that her fiancé?

Pi-young still has it, doesn't she?

-Welcome.
-I know this is inappropriate.

-But I still came.
-It's fine. Please come in.

This is Ji-a.

Hello, sir.

Hi.

It wasn't because he didn't like it.

The bathroom's that way.

She's my former mother-in-law.

Welcome.

She stopped by this morning.

-Please forgive the intrusion.
-As if that's the case.

No way!

Hey, Danchu.

She's not Ji-a's biological grandmother.
Her grandfather had remarried.

Please have a seat.

You should eat with us.

I'm afraid I'm still full
from last night's dinner.

I ate a lot, you see.

Have a seat. The fish is ready to eat.

-Ji-a, did you wash your hands?
-Yes.

There's not much to eat.

My father likes kimchi stew.

It's not yellow croaker
but real barley dried yellow corvina.

Right. Thank you.

No, don't get up.

-The green tea--
-Let me get it.

Should I cut up some cabbage kimchi?

No, this is good. I didn't expect you
to have dongchimi.

Did you make it yourself?

I always receive some from
my housekeeper's family in Cheongju.

Of course, I pay for the ingredients.

It's perfect.

Did you make this kimchi stew in advance

knowing I'd come by?

No.

He favors kimchi stew
that's been cooked for hours.

There are ways to achieve that effect.

Please have some dried laver.
I roasted it myself with perilla oil.

Right.

-Savory, isn't it?
-It is.

I see this isn't meat.

Do you like meat?

Why don't I stir-fry
some marinated bulgogi?

It's all right. This is more than enough.

They're mackerel pike fish cakes.

Really? I didn't know
mackerel pike could taste like this.

It's one of Pi-young's signature dishes.

It exceeds expectations, doesn't it?

-I haven't had it as jeon before.
-Fish cakes.

Well, I guess they're the same.

Actually, they're not.
She had to mince the fish in this case.

Grandma, you seem chipper today.

That's because I didn't expect
to greet important guests during my visit.

Please enjoy.

And have some yellow corvina
with rice in green tea.

Sure.

I haven't had an appetite these days
but all these dishes are great.

-Do they suit your palate?
-They do.

I've had a few meals
with roasted sweet potatoes and ice cream.

-That sounds delicious.
-It was.

-How is it?
-It's cooked perfectly.

There's no funky odor either.

-That's right.
-Those that do aren't the real deal.

You sure are handsome though.
I bet you get that a lot.

-Back in my prime--
-You're still--

Mother, please let him eat.

Right.

There's plenty. There's nurungji too.

Right.

You sent Danchu over for my sake,

but I'm sure you missed it.
It's why I came over.

Danchu must have been fussy.

Hardly. It slept well by my side.

Goodness. Did you let it sleep with you?

Yes. I'm right, aren't I?

I made do with the photos I took.

I'm grateful for your kindness
toward an old man you have never met.

But that's somewhat of an excuse.

I just didn't feel like sitting across
from only Dong-ma today.

Should I get plastic surgery?

You're always welcome.

You can start having breakfast here
if you'd like.

I'd be inconveniencing you.

Not at all.
We always eat breakfast anyway.

Only additional cutlery is required.

-Of course.
-She means what she says.

-Don't you already take her side.
-Got it.

You can call me Grandpa.

I'd prefer that
over U-ram's Grandpa Chairman.

Sure thing.

He sure is handsome for an old man.

He's charismatic too.

Dr. Shin. You're gone, right?

You're not?

We'll get going then.

-Thank you for looking after him.
-It's nothing at all.

-Will you be late?
-I don't have plans, but who knows.

His boss lives alone now, you see.

Right. He sent his children abroad.

Yes, and his wife went with them.

He requests they have dinner together
whenever Sa-hyeon's free.

Men hate walking into an empty home.

Father, should I pick up
some grilled eel on my way home?

No, I'm good.

-Do so if you want.
-Sure thing.

-Drive safely.
-Sure.

I called upon the spirits, you see.

When? What for?

This morning, with cotton swabs.

Cotton swabs?

The spirits talk to them.

According to them, Hye-ryung is possessed.

I hear you're starting middle school.
Buy what you need.

Thank you.

I enjoyed breakfast.

Gosh. If only I had prepared more.

It's the quality that matters,
not the quantity.

Are you leaving?

Yes, thank you for the hearty breakfast.

Call in advance next time
for a more proper meal.

We interrupted your sleep
when you need it before school starts.

You can stay here.

Have a good day then.

-Sure.
-Until next time.

Sure thing.

-Don't see us off.
-You didn't even have coffee.

I'll have some at the office.

I'll text you.

If only she were about ten years younger.

-I told you to call, not come over.
-I heard you bad-mouthed me.

Why would we?

Mother heard you talking in the room.

Mother's not herself right now.

Don't avoid my question.

She was gone when we woke up
and her phone was off.

She had a bad dream about Ji-a.

Yesterday…

We'll talk over the phone.

It doesn't feel right
leaving her alone with Ji-a.

You should have asked why.

I did, but she wouldn't tell me.

She just begged me not to hit her.

Didn't she seem weird to you today?

I guess she was a little off.

She was more talkative than usual.

I brushed it off as her being excited
about having guests over.

-You know she's flirty.
-What do you mean she's flirty?

Are you on speakerphone?

We'll talk later, Pi-young.

Sure.

Hello?

-What is Ji-a up to?
-She's washing her hair.

What about you?

Me? I'm on the phone.

Where did you go without telling me?

-I'll be home any minute.
-Sure.

-Did you perhaps…
-Yes?

Did you perhaps leave to avoid me?

Of course not. I'll be right home.

"Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be thy name,

thy kingdom come,

thy will be done on earth
as it is in the universe."

Is she dolling up? At her age?

Trying to use her looks
just like her mother.

Before we married,

I called upon the spirits
after our blind date.

They told me you'd become my wife.

Although they talked to me
through matches back then.

Why did you do that?

You were so pretty
that I wanted you as my wife.

If this is true,
it won't be good for Jeong-bin.

I heard that spirits suck your energy dry.

How about this?

We'll call her by Song Yuan one day.

If she responds--

What if she doesn't?

She will think
we're still hung up on Song Yuan.

How can we ever forget her? Never.

If we're wrong about this,

Hye-ryung will hold a grudge against us.

-Who are you calling?
-A friend's younger brother.

He became a monk
instead of studying for the state exam.

He may know another monk
who's an expert in this field.

CALLS

How about a checkup?
It's time you received one.

But I'm perfectly healthy.

Knowing that on paper will be reassuring.

No. It scares me.

I won't order an endoscopy,
so don't worry.

-Then what?
-Blood test, urine test,

and an ultrasound maybe.

You'll be pampered in the VIP ward.

Who put you up to this?

-I've just tagged along.
-Don't worry about me and leave.

How can I not when I'm worried?

Who would worry about you if not me?

You're the lady of the house.

-The lady?
-Of course you are.

He's right, you know.

All right. So all in one day?

Some tests require fasting,
so it will take two days.

I need to care for Ji-a today.

I'll be home today,

so get your checkup done
when Yu-sin requests it.

-Should I?
-Yes.

Your good health brings us joy, Mother.

You minx.

-Where's my jacket?
-In that room.

I want to know you

All to myself

Ji-a.

Grandma's leaving.

I want to have you

Don't go to any of your classes
and stay home with your mom.

I had a nasty dream.

Sure.

But I should be around to protect Ji-a.

He's such a catch.

To have found a bachelor
like that to marry.

What a sight for sore eyes.

You must have saved the world
in your past life.

Who is it from?

Ms. Nam Ga-bin.

Hello.

I heard from acquaintances
about the good news in your life.

Please know that I'm truly happy for you.

This is a token of that joy.

Why is there no news
about Nam Ga-bin's marriage?

My gosh!

-That hurts.
-I'm sorry, ma'am.

Are you sure you went to nursing school?

We'll have a detailed diagnosis tomorrow,

but she has gastritis

and shows signs of
what we've been worried about.

My goodness.

But she has always had a strong mind.

Other than Father's passing,
she's had no troubles.

She lived luxuriously

and had a good relationship
with the stepson she raised.

She must have suffered
some kind of emotional trauma.

It could be the aftermath
of what we've been suspecting all along.

At the movies, I mean.

-I got it.
-I hope you believe me now.

That Yu-sin bad-mouthed you.

Our argument yesterday was heated.

She sounded so sure of it.
She convinced me.

The situation fit, that's all.

Yu-sin's home.

Right.

How's Grandma?

With age, your mood tends to swing.

INCOMING CALL
JI-A'S GRANDMOTHER

Hello?

Mr. Hae-ryun, it's me.

-Yes, hello.
-That's how you greet me?

But we agreed to be friends.
What were you up to?

I was about to turn in early.
Are you outside?

No. Technically, I'm not home.

-Come visit me at the hospital.
-Have you been admitted?

-Yes.
-Are you not well?

Maybe I'm terminally ill.

Don't be ridiculous.

Will you come by?

-Sin Central Medical Center?
-I was only kidding.

I was just wondering how you were.

I'll stop by.

-Are you tired?
-I am.

Then you should turn in.

Are they running tests in the morning?

Yes, an MRI scan.

-What exactly do you have?
-It's only a regular checkup.

It's been two years since my last one,
so Dr. Shin insisted.

Will you be at the last rite
the day after tomorrow?

You should.

-Right.
-Can I place the furniture as I please?

Of course. That's up to
the lady of the house.

Did you know that your father
had breakfast at Ji-a's today?

Really?

Is there a chance
he'll surprise us by visiting tomorrow?

If he does, you should come by as well.

I'll call you.

Right. You must be upset
about not getting a honeymoon.

We're postponing it, that's all.

Going as a group is more fun anyway.

If the wedding went as planned,

we would have gone to Europe
with the kids.

A year will fly by.

I'll say that you're here
to assess the feng shui of the house.

Don't let her catch onto what we're doing.

Welcome.

-It was a long ride, wasn't it?
-Not really.

The temple's in Pyeongtaek.

I see. Please have a seat.

He's here to assess the feng shui.

This is our daughter-in-law.

Why would you ask me that?
Are you questioning my mental health?

-Of course not.
-As if.

-With menopause and--
-Is that why you had me admitted?

It's to check emotional balance.

As you know, this is routine.

You're sneakily trying
to check my mental status!

There's a saying that a primer
near a school sings the sparrow.

I was married to a doctor for decades!

And I used to be a nurse myself.
Did you think I wouldn't notice?

-You think we're all the same.
-I'll take you home later.

No. I hate the smell of hospitals.

What do you think?
Should we move the furniture around?

The couch is in a decent place.
It doesn't block the flow.

I see.

I've listened to your show a few times.

Thank you.

-And today's show?
-It's pre-recorded.

Will the energy here bring us good luck?

I'll have to check the study
and the master bedroom.

Sure.

She is possessed.

-Really?
-Yes.

So what's next?

Hold a rite of exorcism.

Will that drive the spirit out of her?

Some spirits tend to
viciously cling to their hosts,

but this one isn't malicious.

I see.

If there's no real issue,

would it be okay to turn a blind eye?

Nothing good will come of that.
It could bring them bad luck.

Bad luck?

That's how this normally ends.

Besides, the spirit must find
her own way now.

She can't stay among the living
when her path here has ended.

There's a chance
she could be reincarnated.

Defying the natural order
always leads to problems.

The spirit is the baby's mother.

-To peel her away--
-That may be the case now.

But you know that people change.

Spirits do as well.

Gradually, the dead
will try to take control of the living.

When mistreated, it can retaliate.

Please let me know
when you make up your mind.

The head monk asked me
to be of service to you.

-That room, please.
-Right.

-Please drink this.
-Sure, once we're done.

To the room, please.

Which brand is this couch from?

I bet it's not domestic.

Domestic products are better these days.

Goodness. Is this from a domestic brand?

It's big and comfortable.

I could even sleep on this.

Right.

Ms. Sa is looking for you downstairs.

Sure.

The place actually gives off
a newlywed vibe.

Now they're barging into this house
to take everything.

Isn't it comfortable?

How can we not take action now?

Can spirits really take over the living?

According to him, they can even hurt you.

But she's no stranger to us.

But she's also a spirit.

Song Yuan would never do that.

Still, she's Jeong-bin's mother

and it's just that
she couldn't leave him behind.

He says spirits are the same.

They change just like people do.

They don't have a brain, you see.

Driving her away seems vicious on our end.

And what about Sa-hyeon?

He only just found stability.

Could she be aware
of what we're discussing?

-He should be up by now.
-Let him sleep.

Is that monk
really an expert in the field?

Yes. Someone introduced him to us.

Many hacks pretend
to be experts these days.

Not him though.

He's a proper monk.

Is it Ban?

No, Ms. Sa.

Here you go.

I'm sorry I can't make it.

It's too bad that I won't get
to see you in your wedding dress.

-Send me the photos.
-Got it.

I'm so nervous for you.

Gosh. I'm just an old bride.

Nonsense.

You haven't looked this good in years.
Aren't I right?

Absolutely. You've never looked better.

Money and time were well spent then.

Every bride-to-be gets a few facials.

It's hardly a lot.

I got you sleepwear.

Hyang-gi already got me one.
This wasn't necessary.

You can't live
on just one set of sleepwear.

She's right.

Look how silky it is!

You spent too much.

When it's just pajamas?

I went ahead without you.

Sure.

Drinking on an empty stomach
has made me drunk.

I hear your mother received a checkup.

Is she all right?

Is she sick?

You know the saying,

"Even a blacksmith's ax can get rusty."

As you know, I treat the mentally ill.

-Of course.
-Well…

Her mind isn't what it used to be.

Is that so?

I couldn't tell.

She's in the early stages,
so her episodes come and go.

So what now? Will she be admitted?

She'll take medication.

It's nothing severe yet.

I know it's wrong to say this,

but it seems like you dodged a b*llet.

Someone has to look after her now.

Will it be A Mi?

What a rough family to marry into.

I'm sure they'll fix whatever's wrong.

Just keep this to yourself though.

Of course.

Have fun on your wedding day.

I'll be wishing you the best
with all my heart.

I'm glad I get to attend yours.

You'll attend the pyebaek
as my sister-in-law.

Mr. Seo…

Gosh, I should treat him
and call him like my brother-in-law now.

-Honorifics are so confusing.
-Tell me about it.

In some ways,

it's better to call people by their names
like they do in the West.

After the divorce

and signing the papers,

it's been hell for me.

Same here.

And now I'm about to lose my child.
How is this fair?

It isn't.

By the way, who is Ji-a's mother marrying?

-It's ludicrous.
-Why?

Ms. Lee will be Pi-young's sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law? In what way?

In the literal sense.

Ms. Lee is marrying the older brother
and Pi-young's marrying the younger.

They're marrying into the same family.

Really?

Yes, and both haven't been married before.

They're the sons
of SF Electronics' chairman.

They also own Min General Hospital.

They must be insane.
Are they in their right minds?

They need a psych evaluation.

I don't get it either.

There are a ton of young women out there.

What makes them so desperate?

If I'm being honest,

not all young women are charming
and have a bright future ahead of them.

They must have fallen for their charms.

Ms. Sa, I get.

But I really believed that Si-eun
was done for as a woman.

So when is Ms. Sa's wedding?

Si-eun's is tomorrow.

This is driving me nuts. I'm seeing red.

It's the same for me.

I may need some prescription pills.

I always wake up at one or two at night.

Sleep doesn't come easily afterward.

The man Pi-young's marrying
is not only young but also good-looking.

-How old is he?
-He turned 37.

-So he's younger?
-By five years.

She hit the jackpot, didn't she?

The same goes for Ms. Lee.

Both brothers are tall and handsome.

And us?

I feel like a loser.

We're hardly losers.
It's just that they're out of their minds.

Hey.

-Are you up?
-Just now.

How do you feel?
I hear it'll be sunny later.

-I'm happy.
-But you don't sound happy.

I am on the inside.

How is Father doing?

He's good. Isn't an overnight trip
too short though?

Stay for at least two nights.

I should do as she says.

So you choose to be obedient?

Let me ask you first. What about you?

-See you at the wedding.
-Sure.

-What's that?
-Champagne.

Would you like a glass
to calm down your nerves?

This is awesome.

Sit a little closer.

Isn't your mom beautiful?
She's normally just pretty.

-Gosh.
-Absolutely.

Mr. Seo… You look good too, Stepdad.

Son, it should be just "Dad."

Got it.

Why won't Pi-young be at the wedding?

She says you're not supposed to attend
someone else's wedding before your own.

Why?

I guess it's a thing.

But she's family.

She'll be Ban's sister-in-law in a week.

There's no need to push
when it's said to be a bad sign.

Please take your seats
and set your phones on vibrate

so that the wedding isn't interrupted.

The bride and groom will enter together.

Please give them a warm round of applause.

Please welcome the groom and the bride.

I'LL BRING THE SCENT TO YOUR MARRIAGE

IT'S ALL RIGHT, IT'S JUST MARRIAGE

Over here.

An old hag for a bride
must sure be a sight.

-That's right.
-My gosh.

What do you mean?

The monk said that being possessed
could bring her bad luck.

Didn't Hye-ryung's show
see a drop in ratings?

That's due to the producer
and writer being switched.

Not all shows
see that kind of drop though.

She hasn't been working as much either.

She says she's been turning down jobs,

but my guess is that
she hasn't been receiving many offers.

-Don't you agree?
-Maybe that's true.

MS. SA PI-YOUNG

BOO HYE-RYUNG

They both look incredible.

Ji-a.

At the ski resort,
I acknowledged that I was at fault.

Never did I imagine this outcome for us.

Your mom also loved someone else
so she'll soon marry--

Wait.

Are you saying we're the same?

I fell for another man

like you did with A Mi?

That's not true at all.
Should I dive into details for her?

-I was already divorced while you--
-All right.

I was wrong to say that.

It wasn't my intention,
but I see how you could think that way.

I'm sorry.

Go ahead and get married.

I'd be lying if I congratulated you

but I'm not against it.

Ji-a, you're my one and only daughter.

You know how much I love you.

Come live with me.
Please don't abandon me.

We didn't abandon you.

Technically, you abandoned us.

Did I ask for a divorce?

Never. I tried hard
to keep this family together.

It was like having a new friend
or something like that.

You're too young for me to explain--

When Mom first told me,

it didn't seem real.

But then I saw you at the bookstore,

you were…

I saw you with a woman who wasn't my mom.

Think about how I would have felt.

What I only saw on TV…

became a reality for us.

"How could you do this to us?"

"So Mom was telling the truth."

"It must have been hard for her."

That's what ran through my mind

and it broke my heart.

Unexpected things happen in life.

I'm not making excuses.
but that's how life is.

Mom and I
have finally found stability again.

You live your own life.

AM… That's how I refer to A Mi.

-You'll marry her someday.
-I won't if you're against it.

Why didn't you ask me
when you decided to date her?

You should have asked me
if you could date another woman.

Things can't go back to how they were.

That's not what I'm suggesting.

You know…

Blood ties are sacred.

It can never be severed.

Can't you forgive me this one time?

Only if Mom does.

But it's too late and it seems impossible.

Her wedding is next week.

He's only 23 years older than you.

-Can you call him Dad?
-Why can't I?

How so? Would you mean it?

I don't know.

I guess I'm not ready yet.

But won't it be the same as having

divorced parents overnight?

I've naturally grown to be fond of him.

And living together
will bring us closer as a family.

Do our 13 years together
mean nothing to you?

If you keep saying that,
I'll have no choice but to ask you back.

Didn't you care about
the years we spent as a family?

Let's drop it.

I'm going to live with Mom.

She's who I need.

Mom couldn't even talk for a while
because she was so shocked.

You're right.

And I know it's too late to regret,

but I still can't bring myself
to give up on you.

-I can't live without you.
-You'll manage.

A Mi's not family.

I only did as you insisted.

Never did I give up on our daughter.

-God knows that.
-I hate to say this in front of her,

but didn't you think that

when you were seeing her behind our backs?

We found stability again

and so will you.

I'll hardly get to see my own child,

but she'll be living with a stranger

calling him Dad.

Let's not blame each other anymore.

Mom and I are done resenting you as well.

Don't cry in front of your child.

My heart feels like it's going to explode.

I'll say one more thing.

Do you know
how embarrassed I was at the bookstore?

This whole time,

I bragged to U-ram about
having the best dad in the world,

but then I saw you with a younger woman
who wasn't Mom.

That image?

I won't ever be able to forget it

no matter how much I try.

I'm sorry.

You don't understand at all.

I do.

It's why I'm truly sorry.

You have taught me

that being greedy
could make you lose everything.

If you hadn't dated AM,

we would still be a happy family.

I won't text or call either of you today.

Hyang-gi's in charge.

Don't worry.

We're out of boxes.

Just pack what you need for now.

-But I need everything.
-We'll pick this up after dinner.

What are we having?

Is it Mom?

She said she wouldn't call.

-It's an unknown number.
-Pick it up.

You pick it up.

Hello?

-Why are you answering?
-Who is this?

-Your Uncle Dong-ma.
-Oh, hi.

-And your sister?
-She's packing.

The housekeepers will help tomorrow.

I sent a car just now.

Just bring your pajamas and come.

-Sure.
-We'll wait to have dinner with you.

Got it.

I heard what he said.

Are we moving in before Mom?

Make dinner for the children
and plenty of it.

-Yes, sir.
-Meat dishes, please.

Yes, sir.

The siblings must be as lonely as we are.

Hasn't your brother called?

It's not like he went abroad.

Aren't you hungry?

We didn't eat properly today.

How about room service?

Sounds good.

-Aren't you going to change?
-Give me.

-Give you what?
-My clothes.

Didn't you bring any?

-Didn't you say you were packing for me?
-Just your pajamas.

I thought you meant my clothes too.

Oh, dear.

I'll make do with the robe.

Change after you wash.

Sure.

Not right now though.

Why not?

Hold on.

Here.

Actually, I don't wear boxers.

I should have asked first.

-Just this once, then.
-I'm kidding.

Is this all I should be wearing?

Oh, right.

I wonder what the kids are up to.

They're fine by themselves.

Should we ask them here?

-Are you serious?
-Why leave a room unoccupied?

You're being ridiculous.

I'm serious though.

You have taught me to be frugal.

Can't I be the center of your world today?

What is it?

We forgot something.

Did you drop something?

Come on. We're going back out.

-The first night tradition.
-That?

Where's the key?

Come on.

You'll haul me in?

You're not some parcel. I'll carry you.

I'm heavy, you know.

-You think I can't carry you?
-But it's embarrassing.

It's only a formality.
Besides, we're already in the room.

I must not be thinking clearly.

Hyang-gi, come on. The elevator's here.

Park Hae-ryun, you pathetic loser.

You imbecile.

They have a place for you in Hell.

Damn it.

You colossal idiot.

Damn it!

Gosh.

Jeong-bin.

What should we do with your mother?

I know it's better to turn a blind eye
for your sake, but still…

There's more meat on the way.

-Right.
-I bet you were hungry.

Yes, a little.

A growing body needs plenty of nutrients.

Watching you two eat
has brought back my appetite.

Hyang-gi, does the food
not suit your palate?

They do, but I just love seaweed soup.

Boiled octopus is good for you.

Right.

Seeing your mother
must have made you happy today.

-It did.
-Stepdad looked incredible as well.

My sons take after me.

-I agree.
-Who do you take after?

My grandfather from my mom's side.

He must have been well-built.

He was actually average,

but I hear we looked the same
back when I was slimmer.

Mother, here's your supplement.

MULTIVITAMIN

I washed my hands.

Help yourself.

It's only a supplement.

Someone else's?

It's not someone else's.

Then why was the bottle already unsealed?

-I opened it in the room and--
-Who knows if it's poison?

XANAX

Who are you taking for a fool?

You'll never outsmart me.

Don't you try to fool me. I'll k*ll you!

Hasn't your mother called?

She hasn't.

She said she wouldn't be calling today.

So Hyang-gi wants to be an interpreter.

What about you, U-ram?

I thought about being an engineer,

but I now just want
to earn a lot of money.

And do what?

I'll buy a yacht before I buy a house.

Yachts, vacation homes, and mistresses

only give you headaches.

Why is that?

It costs a lot
to have them docked, you see.

You'll be spending money like crazy.

We have vacation homes,
but we barely visit them.

INCOMING CALL
A MI

Congratulations.

Can you congratulate me too?

You looked dashing today.

I was overwhelmed with joy.

Feeling good and being happy
are so different.

I learned that today.

Thank you for being my bride.

Same here.

I wonder what this delicious cheese is.

It smells like truffles.

-It's probably French.
-How do you know?

I think it's the kind
I enjoy from time to time.

Have you been drinking alone at night
with cheese as a snack?

Maybe it was because I missed you so much.

-Do you think I'm joking?
-Yes.

This is nice.

Aren't you happy?

Can't you tell by looking at me?

I'm also at peace.

Shouldn't you fancy your husband
more than the overall mood?

It's the same thing.

Should I get wasted
or just a little tipsy?

Tipsy will suffice.

Haven't we both led average lives?

Morally, we never deviated from the norm.

Husband, are you already dreaming
of going wild?

With my wife, of course.

-Isn't it allowed?
-Well…

Our marriage alone seems like a big leap.

A big leap that seems right
in every single way.

Time will tell.

What do you need?

A cotton swab. My ears tickle.

There's an ear pick
in the master bathroom.

Bring it over.

I rarely use one
since I could scratch myself.

Besides, it's not satisfying.

I never took you for a scaredy-cat.

Let me see.

I see a lot of earwax. Come here.

-You'll do it for me?
-Yes.

My head's heavy.

My thighs are still quite muscular.

This feels nice.

Satisfying, isn't it?

Yes.

Don't you see a grooming specialist?

I don't. Why?

Don't they remove your earwax for you?

I'm not fond
of physical touch from others.

Should I stop?

You're not just anyone.
Touch me all you want.

What is it?

I'm dozing off.

Go to sleep then.

I can't.

Why not?

-I shouldn't.
-Some shut-eye will do you good.

It'll re-energize you.

Come back down.

Close your eyes.

Has farting ever put you in a predicament?

-That's disgusting.
-Not really.

And it's not disgusting.
It's like yawning in a way.

What about you?

My homeroom teacher in fourth grade

farted while passing my seat in class.

She was like, "Goodness."

It's hard to control what's involuntary.

What if your future husband farts?

I doubt I'd like it.

Your brother should refrain from farting.

It's different for family.

Text him and warn him.

But it's really hard to keep it in.

-Are you fighting the urge right now?
-Yes.

Then go ahead.

That'd be rude of me.

-Go to the bathroom.
-I'll hold it.

Nothing good will come out of that.

Lotus leaf tea or mulberry leaf tea, sir?

My gosh. I'm so sorry. Oh, no!

Open the window.

What did she have for dinner?

Hyang-gi.

Go and ask for mulberry leaf tea.

Did they go to bed?

Yes.

No news is good news, right?

Don't worry.

This isn't me worrying.

If you think about it,

she got her wedding…

and has been able
to hold Jeong-bin enough.

I guess she can leave now.

A better life could await her.

She can be reborn as Jeong-bin's sibling.

How?

When Hye-ryung has a deformed uterus?

It doesn't mean she's infertile.

Only that her chances are slim.

Prayers can be answered,
so you never know.

I doubt it.

Thinking too much has me hungry again.

It sure consumes your energy.

A proper meal or ramyeon?

Tteok.

That's what I'm suddenly craving.

Sirutteok, jeolpyeon,
injeolmi, or ssukgaetteok?

Do we have some of
the black sesame tteok left?

It's all gone.

When? Did you finish them?

Don't you have hands?

He's been exhausted lately, you see.

What a luxury.

It'll be my turn tomorrow.

Aren't you two peckish?
Your father wants some tteok.

-I'm good.
-Same here.

Sorry. I dialed the wrong number.

INCOMING CALL
GA-BIN

Hello?

-I was curious.
-About what?

When is the wedding?

Don't worry.

I'm fine now.
I could even sing for you there.

How's your health?

-Are you all right?
-Yes.

I'm glad.

-Are you home?
-Yes.

Isn't it good manners
to answer a question?

The wedding's soon.

Don't stay up too late.

-Are you happy?
-Yes.

-Good for you.
-Right.

INCOMING CALL

Hello?

Is this Nam Ga-bin?

-Yes.
-This is Chairman Seo's assistant.

I once escorted you in my car. Hello.

Yes, hello.

The chairman has asked you
to lunch tomorrow.

Hey.

Have a seat.

I take it that
you have a new show in the fall.

That's right.

Welcome, Mr. Seo.

-It's been a while.
-Yes, sir.

-Bring what's best.
-Yes, sir.

I'll have what he's having.

How about a light drink first?
Champagne, maybe?

Did you cook red bean juk?

-Yes.
-Why?

No reason. I just wanted some.

Has it gone cold? I can heat it up.

What a waste.

As if I wouldn't know.

Know what?

You want me to die from eating this.

You'd die from eating red bean juk?

Does that mean I'm going to die too?

That's how I k*lled my husband, you see.

Feeding him red bean juk, mung bean juk,
bean juk, pine nut juk,

abalone juk, vegetable juk,
chicken juk, beef juk, and tarakjuk.

He stood no chance.

For every meal of every day,
I fed him carbs until he was full.

And it wasn't just juk.

Manila clam kalguksu,
naengmyeon, janchiguksu,

kimchi guksu, bean guksu,

buckwheat guksu, geonjinguksu, bibimguksu,

sonkalguksu, and kaljebi day by day.

Elevation in blood sugar level
and blood pressure.

With these two hands,
I busily cooked for him.

I mean made the noodles myself.

How could they not have been tasty?

He couldn't help himself.

Kim Dong-mi, you worked so hard.

You know how they say
that hard work pays off.

Thanks to me,
he enjoyed his meals every day

and left without suffering.

All he did was clutch his chest once

as he said goodbye.

Sayonara. Farewell.

Is that how Yu-sin's father passed away?

Grill me some meat.

Meat!

Tenderloin, not sirloin.

I'll know, so don't you dare fool me.

Tenderloin is slightly split on one end.

A woman as wise and intelligent as I am?

I'm one of a kind in this world.

A Mi.

Yes, Mother?

There's a lot of traffic today.

Good thing we're early.

-No cheese, right?
-I had it taken out.

The ratings dropped again.

The show's better off canceled.

The show really needs Ms. Sa back.

-And Ms. Lee.
-Exactly.

Isn't Ms. Sa getting married
this Saturday?

She is.

-If I had to pick one of you…
-Are you telling me to leave?

You're just like Pi-young.

They have a long journey ahead.

-Let me ask you again.
-What about you?

Did your mom get married?

We have a driver who drops me off
at school since it's far away.

-It's been a while.
-Hi.

You seem to have lost weight.

-Ex-husbands are a pain.
-Is he throwing a fit?

-What is it? But that was all settled.
-Even if it means the death of me…

You weren't happy
that I was a musical actress.

What kind of a daughter-in-law is she?

-How do I look?
-Dong-ma was always annoying.

And he's even more so today.
What a handsome groom he is.
