(Episode 117)
We'll live happily together.
We might argue and hurt each other a lot,
but we'll work hard.
You'll have a good life together.
Thank you, Jung Hoon.
Thank you both for making this decision.
You have no idea...
how thankful I am.
Did you tell your dad?
He doesn't know Young Shin decided to marry me.
You should tell him soon.
He'd be happy for you.
Goodnight.
Thank you.
Young Shin, don't say that.
I'm genuinely thankful for you.
I know you're marrying me for Mr. Jung.
But...
I hope you'll love me as much as you love him someday.
You wouldn't even care...
if I miss him for the rest of my life.
You're that strong and believe in yourself.
It's not because I'm strong.
It's because I can't just watch you.
Why did you have to leave that note and buy a ring?
I didn't think he'd see that.
He loves you so much,
and you love him very much too.
Now, he has to leave you to some other guy.
How would he feel, being a guy?
Get going, Jung Hoon.
Okay.
I'm going.
Did he leave?
I'm going to tell my dad tomorrow.
You should.
I'll go to sleep.
What?
What are you talking about?
It's true.
That's the situation...
Gyung Soo is in.
Poor Young Shin.
I'm also afraid.
I've had hard times, but I've never been this afraid.
I should've let them love each other.
I should've left them to love each other as much as they wanted.
Life is so short.
It was not a big deal.
Poor Gyung Soo.
He'll leave like that.
He couldn't...
even love Young Shin as much as he wanted,
but he has to leave that way.
Today,
I've got bad news.
It's hard to accept.
Sad news?
What do you mean by it's hard to accept?
What is the news?
Gyung Soo is very sick,
and he doesn't have much time left to live.
What?
That's why Jung Hoon suddenly proposed to Young Shin.
How could this happen?
I can't believe this.
Mr. Lee told us to be aware of it...
but don't let it show we are.
Are you okay, honey?
Are you all right?
Oh Bok, my dad said...
we shouldn't let him know we know it.
Does it make sense to you?
How can he be dying?
Why is he dying?
Why does he have to die?
Why?
Oh Bok.
Young Shin.
Wan Soo told us.
I see.
You have to stay strong...
at a time like this.
You should accept what you have to accept.
I'm still accepting it.
Then you should be stronger.
There's an end to every relationship.
You're just sending him away a little bit sooner.
You'll be saying goodbye to me too someday.
I know you're too young...
to lose someone to death.
But as you live your life,
you have to say goodbye to your parents...
and your friends as well sometimes.
Some people even carry on...
after losing their children.
Leaving this world by death...
is one of the things that humans are bound to do.
I guess so.
A famous author who lost his child said...
compared to the age of the universe,
humans only live for a moment, whether it's 30 or 100 years.
He must've been so devastated after losing his kid.
He must've been hurt so much...
that he consoled himself, repeating that to himself.
Let's let go of Gyung Soo...
in a heartwarming and peaceful way.
Just like how warm and peaceful person he is.
Da Jung.
When a person dies,
where do all of their thoughts go?
Young Shin.
Do souls really exist?
Or when you close your eyes, that's it?
Souls must exist.
No.
If you say a dead person doesn't know anything,
that will comfort me better.
Young Shin.
It's better they don't know anything.
They shouldn't know anything more.
If his soul stays behind...
and is worried about and loves someone even when he died,
wouldn't you feel so sorry for him?
Young Shin.
The sky should take an old woman like me.
How can it do this?
He stopped talking since he heard the news.
You shouldn't do that, Yong Goo.
Think how it'd break Gyung Soo's heart.
Let's keep pretending not to know about it.
Okay. Let's do that.
How about we ask Gyung Soo to make us our favorites?
Let's cook with him as long as it's not too hard for him.
The hardest thing for him must be getting through every day.
Young Shin will make dinner.
I want to eat your mandu.
You know the one you made with my mother's mandu recipe.
The one with mung bean sprouts?
It's hot today. Why don't we cool off here,
making mandu together?
All of us?
We can finish faster that way.
You'd get tired if you have to cook for a long time in this hot weather.
Do you want that mandu that badly?
Of course. I think I should eat that mandu to spend this summer well.
Okay. Then let me make some mandu.
I heard you're making mandu today.
I can't miss it...
because I'm the one who taught you my mother-in-law's recipe.
I guess we all are going to make it together.
See if it's seasoned well.
This is my problem. I'm not good at tasting it.
I really can't tell if it's salty, bland, or missing something.
Still, I'm great at judging the flavor of something that's done.
Isn't that interesting?
In other words,
you have no cooking skills.
Who in the world can't tell if something's delicious when it's done?
You need to taste it while it's cooking.
I'll have to try it.
That's it. It's perfect.
That tastes like my mother-in-law's mandu.
It'll taste great. Let's hurry and fill them up.
Here's Yong Goo, the mandu craftsman.
I'm like an artist when it comes to mandu.
I came so I could make some beautiful mandu...
so that we can have a beautiful child.
Sit down and fill them.
Make them as pretty as you can...
so that you'll have a daughter as pretty as Pil Sun.
What are you all doing without me?
That hurts my feelings.
You should fill some mandu too.
I've never done it before, but I'm great with my hands.
Then, show us how well those hands of yours can make a mandu.
Let's ask the kids whose mandu are the most beautiful later.
The person in the last place has to wash the dishes.
There are always so many dishes to wash after making mandu.
You need to clean the cutting board and everything the kimchi touched.
So, let's all do our best to fill the mandu.
We already know I'll get first place, anyway.
There's a time limit.
If you spend all day crafting a beautiful mandu, you're out.
How many centuries is it going to take to have dinner if you take that long?
By the way, how will we know who made which ones?
It's not like we're writing our names on them.
I'll remember all the shapes. Don't worry, Yong Goo.
All right. Ready, set, go!
- There. - Let's see.
All right. Let's enjoy the manduguk today.
There are five pieces of mandu in each dish, all with different shapes.
Everyone, choose the prettiest shape.
It's a cutthroat bet over dish duty.
I told you it'd be me.
This is the prettiest one.
Applause!
One vote for Jang Yong Goo.
I guess we'll have a pretty daughter.
I vote for this one.
Okay, one vote for Mang Soon!
How's this one?
You can't say it.
You can't give any hints.
Then, I'll vote for this one.
Great. A vote for me too.
My mother-in-law!
Se Jin, you're out.
You cheated.
Grandma, you never let anything go quietly.
How is that cheating?
Isn't this cheating?
Wasn't that cheating just now?
He voted for his mother-in-law because she pressured him.
Then, I'll vote for this one.
This is the prettiest one.
One vote for Park Gyung Chul.
No, that's mine.
What are you talking about? It doesn't have our names written on it.
Gyung Soo, isn't this one mine?
All right. With this, we've got all four votes.
Mr. Lee Wan Soo is the one with zero votes,
so he wins dish duty.
Wait a minute.
That doesn't make any sense.
Gyung Chul, why are you doing that?
Game over.
Gyung Soo, why are you just sitting there laughing?
You said you'd be the judge.
I made that mandu.
All right. Hurry up and eat it fast.
We need to get rid of the evidence, so he can't fight it.
I'll just take care of the dishes.
That's not the problem.
In a fair society with law and order...
Mr. Lee, I see you can't lose.
Did you just realize that?
He never lets me win when we talk.
He persists until he has the last word.
No, this isn't a matter of winning and losing.
Even if I lose, I can't stand unfairness.
This mandu is delicious.
Okay.
Now, I know that Gyung Chul is this kind of man.
I know now for sure.
Who do you think I learned that from?
I'm sure you learned it from me. Who else?
My grandma is the pioneer of persistence.
Is that the only thing I've pioneered?
I've pioneered thousands of things.
Gyung Chul has changed so much since the first time he came.
He's good at joking and teasing now.
It was so fun today.
- Was it? - Yes.
I even forgot that I was sick and laughed a lot.
I see.
We should have three mandu competitions.
It was such a busy day.
I was really happy to see you laugh.
I'm so grateful for every one.
They're all family to me.
Mr. Jung.
I'm going home this weekend.
Why?
I'm going to take Jung Hoon to meet my father officially.
Really?
Good idea.
Thank you.
Really?
Thank you.
I'll look forward to it.
Thank you, Young Shin.
Can Mr. Park come with us, too?
Of course.
Of course, he should come too.
Even though you met Jung Hoon last time,
he's coming to get your permission officially.
Thank you.
I see that you still forgive me.
What is there to forgive you for?
Thank you, my daughter.
Thank you for giving me your daughter's hand.
Thank you.
Please take good care of Young Shin.
See? I told you I thought you'd be part of the family.
- Take a seat. Why are you standing? - Please sit.
Take a seat.
I don't know how to thank you enough for accepting my imperfect son.
You and I were fated to be family.
It's an honor, President Kang.
It makes me feel so happy to become family with you, Mr. Park.
Now, we're really family.
Exactly, President Kang.
I feel so proud to have such a decent nephew-in-law.
He looks so trustworthy.
I feel really proud and happy too.
So, we were meant to be family from the beginning.
It was an uncommon connection.
I feel like the luckiest man.
A beautiful daughter, a trustworthy son-in-law,
and a friend as an in-law.
I'm so thankful for this.
All right, then, let's go and have dinner.
- Yes, let's. - Yes.
Sometimes we have painful times in life,
and in other times we have touching moments like this.
Life is so unpredictable.
Uncle, you're talking a lot today.
It's because I'm so grateful.
I wasn't able to be there for you as your father,
but this world has given me so many people...
to worry about and care for my daughter.
As your father, I feel humbled and thankful.
It's because you've led a good life.
He's a very kind person.
I know very well what kind of person he is.
Jong Gwon, congratulations.
My sincerest congratulations.
Thank you.
Eat as much as you want.
Yes, thank you.
Young Shin, you should eat a lot too.
Okay, I will.
All right.
I think Young Shin was thinking about dying with Gyung Soo.
She even wrote out a suicide note.
Really?
What in the world? How could she think like that?
So,
Gyung Soo rushed and paired her up with Jung Hoon.
Jung Hoon knows everything about it,
and he still wanted to marry her.
I'm so thankful for him.
He looks cold on the outside,
but he's so kind.
He really loves Young Shin.
He said they grew up pitying each other.
It's hard to find another relationship like that.
Anyway, when Gyung Soo dies,
he'll be able to go in peace.
On a day like today, Gyung Soo should've been with us.
Go ahead. It was a long day for you.
You too.
My family liked you.
Young Shin.
I love you.
I'll do anything for you too.
Okay, get going.
You did a good job.
I'm sorry.
- You're home. - Did you have dinner?
Of course, I did. Tell me all about it.
Your father must've been pleased.
I'll tell you after I wash up.
Dad talked a lot and was happy to hear it.
He seems glad that he'll be in-laws with Mr. Park.
They can grow old together as in-laws and friends.
Just hearing about it makes me feel good.
How did your aunt and uncle take it?
They were happy about it.
It's funny...
how my aunt can be.
Do you mean Manager Seo?
When she was Manager Seo, she seemed hopeless.
But as my aunt, she's loving and easygoing.
She must be different because she's a mother.
She treats me like a daughter.
And it made me think this is what a mother must be like.
That's what I felt.
Needless to say, my uncle is affectionate and good-hearted.
Jun Young had dinner with us too.
Now you'll have a family there.
Don't you feel tired?
Young Shin, I love hearing things like this.
I want to go by each day busily,
thinking that you'll be going home today...
or that you'll be going downtown.
I want to wait for you...
then listen to what happened to you that day.
I want to have a busy life, forget that I am dying,
and leave one day before I know it.
He was so young and beautiful...
that it was a waste to even look at him all I wanted.
But I was inevitably preparing myself to let him go.
Thank you for the offer, but I can't do that.
Is that so?
Young Shin and you both know...
that I tried to hurt her,
so how can we live as a family?
It would be too hard on both Young Shin and you.
And living with the two of you will be rough on me too.
I'm thankful that Young Shin is looking out for me for Gyung Soo's sake.
But the fact that Gyung Soo has to leave worrying about me...
must be his fate.
It's his fate for having me...
as his mother.
I wouldn't go back in either.
Life is not that long.
How could she go there and walk on eggshells all the time?
But with Gyung Soo being her only son,
she'll be troubling her nephew all her life.
She doesn't have to trouble him.
She can live alone all her life.
People think they can die alone if they just have money.
When you're older, there are things you can't do even with money.
Unless they're going to dig their own grave,
someone has to see them go.
That's how people are.
They come to this world being a nuisance...
and leave troubling others.
Everyone is too confident as if they can live alone.
But you'll live to know that's not the case.
It's our day off at the Diner.
We'll have guests today.
Who are they?
Who's coming today for you to make so much food?
What brings you here, Mom?
I was invited.
Young Shin invited me.
She did?
Have you been well?
I'm here too.
It's good to have you here.
- Come on in. - Okay.
Welcome. Have a seat.
I don't know if you'd like it.
That's unexpected. Why would you say that?
You're right.
I said it, but maybe I shouldn't have.
We'll enjoy the food.
Sung Chan, eat up.
Thank you, Young Shin.
It feels different that we'll have dinner, the four of us.
I didn't know such a day would come.
Here. It's a gift.
It's a little something. It's candles.
If you light them up at night, you'll feel calm.
I hope it comes in handy.
I like lighting up candles and sitting.
I have something for you too.
There's not much to bring in the country.
I just got something from home.
What is it?
Open it up. You'll like it.
It's what Gyung Soo wanted to give you.
Mrs. Choi.
Let's eat.
But why did you have us over today?
I invited you to ask you for something.
What would that be?
I hope to have you back at Dad's house.
I heard that you refused.
I want to think of you as a mother.
How will you...
ever forgive me that you'd say something like that?
Please start eating before the food gets cold.
I wanted to have you live with us as a mother.
Is it because of Gyung Soo?
Thank you.
But I'm too ashamed to go back there.
Please do it for Mr. Jung.
I can forgive you as we live together.
You can apologize as we live together.
Young Shin.
We need to see each other...
to forgive and apologize. Won't we?
Forgive me for how I've been rude to you...
as we live on.
Young Shin.
When Mr. Jung passes away,
you're the one who'd miss him the most.
When I miss Mr. Jung...
or feel so sorry for him that I can't bear it,
I'll go to see you.
So, when you miss Mr. Jung,
come and see me as well.
We can watch over each other.
Young Shin.
I'll call you Mom from now on.
Thank you...
so much for bringing Mr. Jung into his world.
Mom.
(A Good Supper)
What are you doing? You're killing the mood.
How could this happen to a young man?
I'll be so good to you, Sook Jung.
Oh Bok, do you hate me?
Why would I hate you? I'm only sorry.
I'll have a daughter-in-law like Young Shin...
and an in-law like President Kang.
I'm blessed and undeserving.
When will you start working at the cooking academy?
I don't think I can work there.
It's meaningless and left me with regrets.
