The village really seems like it never changes.
The woman who sold hotteok is still there,
and the woman who sold blankets is still there too.
Well, Oh Bok's grandmother and uncle are still out there selling vegetables.
And I'm still running the Diner.
I guess the only change is that the kids grew up.
The rice cake lady's grandson returned for break, and he's as tall as me now.
He looks so much like an adolescent.
I thought that too.
Now the young man from the Diner is almost 40,
so I guess you'll be embarrassed to be called a young man soon.
People might still call me "young man" even when I'm 60, at this rate.
Are you not planning to get married?
This hotteok is so good.
Why aren't you going to marry?
Well, I suppose it's hard to meet anyone when you're stuck here all day.
You need to meet someone if you want to get married.
Just eat your hotteok.
I think you haven't aged a bit,
but do you think the same about me?
That doesn't make sense! You've grown as big as a horse!
Would you mind comparing me to something that's cuter than a horse?
That doesn't make sense! You've grown as big as a white bear!
A white bear? Are they cute?
Aren't they cute?
The white bear drawing on the flour bag is cute, isn't it?
How is a white bear cute?
At least say I look like a panda.
Panda?
Right, you look like a panda when you cry after putting on your makeup.
You should go to bed. You must be tired.
It feels nice to joke around with you again.
I'm going to go turn off the light on the sign. You head in first.
Why aren't you going to marry?
So, you've come downstairs to eat fruit.
Are you feeling better now?
I'm sorry for causing so much tension.
You don't have to be low key.
Honey, do you remember my friend, Yoo Ji Sun?
How would I know her?
She is in a predicament lately.
There was a man she loved to death before she got married,
but they couldn't get married because his parents didn't approve.
She ran into him coincidentally,
and he said he's divorced.
Also, she said he seemed like he still had feelings for her.
His parents who didn't approve have passed away,
and my friend doesn't even have children.
It's understandable that she's confused.
Your friends sure do come along whenever you need them.
She ran into him? I suppose they were meant to be.
At the end of the year, she left her car and took a train to a year-end party.
So, she went to the subway station near her apartment,
but that man was there, and he said, he's taking the subway to a party too.
It turned out they'd never run into each other after years...
of living across the street from each other.
That sounds like a movie.
Sometimes real life is like a movie.
I guess people who are meant to meet end up meeting like that.
Yoo Ji Sun? You should've bluntly said Kim Ji Sun.
- You saw his face, didn't you? - Yes.
"I guess people who are meant to meet end up meeting like that."
Didn't he look so full of regret?
- He did. - He married Sook Jung so late,
and they don't have any kids together.
They don't have a lot of time to fight together.
Couples need to have arguments to love each other unconditionally.
I guess he still can't forget his lost love.
I should've used this card earlier.
I'll tell a story every night to feed the name Kim Ji Sun to him.
She's really going too far to make him remember his past love.
She pulled a card I never could've imagined.
Actually, after your uncle broke up with that woman,
he couldn't forget her for eight years,
and then he gave up at the age of 44 and married me.
It's more accurate to say he did so because I wouldn't leave him alone.
If he didn't get married until 44 because he couldn't get over her,
it must not have been an ordinary love.
What are you thinking about?
Min Gyung, you should bring your friend...
Yoo Ji Sun to the restaurant tomorrow.
Why would I bring her to the restaurant?
I want to serve her some lunch and talk with her.
Talk about what?
I want to tell her to come to her senses and protect her family.
Why you?
If I tell you to bring her, bring her.
Why are you so nosy?
Let me guess. You can't bring her because she doesn't exist, right?
How would you know if she exists or not?
Do you know all of my friends?
How could someone be so underhanded?
Underhanded?
What could be more underhanded than to do that to another woman?
You said if I can't get rid of you in three months,
you'd end Jun Young, didn't you?
How is it that you can say that...
in front of his mother?
How can you say that to another woman's son...
and then call me underhanded?
People only see the speck in the eyes of others.
You never consider what you've done to me, yet you call me underhanded?
You use every trick under the sun on me,
but you want me to follow the rules?
The woman who Jong Gwon can't get over is also named Ji Sun.
Kim Ji Sun.
What a coincidence,
right?
What do you think of making Min Gyung's family move out?
How long are you going to try this?
It's all you talk about.
Why are you yelling?
They just barely settled the divorce talk, and now you want to kick them out?
Why did you marry me?
You know I loved you so much that I couldn't leave you alone.
Why couldn't you leave me alone?
- What? - You say you married me out of love,
but apparently you can't stand to let me relax for even a day...
- and you bring that up again? - Honey.
I thought you were at least a kind person.
So are you saying that I'm neither lovely nor kind?
What are you doing here, Se Jin?
I thought you bought your vegetables at the supermarket now.
I wanted to apologize for Da Jung treating Oh Bok like that...
without having any feelings for him.
Please forgive us.
Since you're here, buy some vegetables.
I brought a picture of a woman.
Are you trying to match her up with Oh Bok?
No!
Gyung Soo.
Young man Gyung Soo?
She's my friend's niece.
After she saw a picture of Gyung Soo, she fell in love and sent a picture.
Where did you get a picture of Gyung Soo?
We have photos from field trips and Christmas when the kids were young.
I told her he hasn't changed much since then.
He hasn't changed.
He looks the same as he did.
Do you want to see the photo?
Of course. I need to see it.
I haven't forgiven you.
I just want to make sure that Gyung Soo gets married.
I understand. Here's the photo.
She looks nice.
Doesn't she?
She works at a bank. Isn't that perfect?
Thank you for caring, but I'm all right.
How are you all right? Aren't you going to get married?
While you're here, have a bowl of noodles.
Do you think we're here to get noodles?
He didn't even look at the photo.
Does he really not want to get married?
Should we tell Young Shin?
I can't call Young Shin into my house because of Da Jung.
I'll call her over and tell her.
Anyway, what are you going to do about Da Jung?
Her father said we should give her some time to feel better.
She has a great impression.
I hope Gyung Soo gets married.
Still, he doesn't even want to look at the photo.
He's probably just embarrassed. You know how shy he is.
What does he have to be shy about at his age?
I'll talk to him again.
There's been so much bad news lately.
I hope something good happens this spring.
I wonder if Uncle will get married first,
or if Mr. Jung will get married first.
I'm really curious.
Smart guy Jung Hoon, take a guess.
I think that's a problem that's harder than calculus.
You always find the answer.
Are there any problems you can't solve?
I think North and South Korea will reunify before that happens.
What are they talking about?
Calculus? What's that?
Is that a type of flour?
Jung Hoon,
you should teach calculus to Yong Goo.
I think it'd be easier to reunify North and South Korea.
What are you doing? I'll take you home.
Why are you taking me home? I can walk on my own.
It's late.
Mr. Jung said I look like a white bear.
Wouldn't someone be more afraid of me if they saw me?
You really are like a white bear,
with your fair face.
I guess I should lose some weight.
There's nothing wrong with your looks.
What's wrong with my face?
You act like you're amazing.
Just go home. It'll be more peaceful to walk home alone.
Take a closer look!
I looked.
Just go out and meet her since Se Jin put in the effort to introduce you.
I don't even want to get married. How should I handle the consequences?
Why don't you want to get married?
I like life as it is now.
What's so great? You're not young anymore.
You should wash up. Do you want something to eat?
Don't change the subject.
I don't want to be introduced to anyone.
Is it because you're embarrassed?
Why would I be embarrassed?
Then go out and meet her.
You never know. She might be your type.
No. Why are you all so obsessed with making me get married?
Mr. Jung!
Oh, my. Do you think this will work if you act cute?
Do you want me to just marry anyone off the street?
Yes.
Mr. Jung.
Doesn't she look so lucky?
No, thank you.
She works at a bank and has a good personality.
I should've looked at the photo too.
Look at it later.
By the way, honey.
For some reason, I don't think Gyung Soo wants to marry.
You know he doesn't express his feelings.
Wouldn't he be so lonely when Young Shin gets married?
If he waits until then to find someone, he won't find someone like her.
You don't know what will happen. He could find someone better.
He doesn't know he's lonely because he has Young Shin.
That could be one reason.
Why are you knitting all of a sudden?
I'm learning it for my mental health.
By the way, there are a lot of men in knitting class.
Men have a lot of reasons to take care of their mental health lately.
Their kids,
their wives, the world.
Everything requires mental clarity.
Do you want to try? It's more relaxing than you'd think.
When I was a kid, my mother used to knit for me.
Exactly.
Just watching you knit makes me feel relaxed.
They say that it's important for aging couples to share a hobby.
So, you should read some books.
It would be nice to read and discuss the books together.
I'll knit, so you read books.
What are you knitting, though?
I'm knitting a sweater...
to make our daughter feel better.
Should I give it a try too?
Do you want to?
It's good for a married couple to share a hobby.
But you aren't interested in reading books at all,
so maybe I should take up knitting.
You'd be better than me as you're calm and attentive.
Teach me, ma'am.
Come here.
I'm home.
Why don't you...
Join us for some sweet potatoes.
Okay.
Thank you.
Why do you keep looking over there?
You'll get a twisted neck.
What's wrong with him?
I'm not sure.
Have a sweet potato.
That's not the issue right now.
Then what is?
It's the movie.
A movie?
What movie?
It's a secret.
What?
It seems we should offer them something.
Offer what?
They're reckless as they have nothing to lose.
They were like that when they had something to lose.
Working as a chauffeur won't be easy.
I want to stop him from that as well.
Aunt.
I don't want to give them a single thing.
I'll adopt Gyung Soo for everyone to see...
and nip in the bud any false desires Min Gyung has.
Not yet.
Why do you say that?
We haven't decided on what Gyung Soo...
will tell Uncle Jong Gwon yet.
It's too premature.
Unless he wants his mother to get in trouble,
he wouldn't come out as my son so easily.
No, that's too risky.
I am still his mother.
You haven't been a mother to him.
You can't be so confident.
I couldn't do my part, but I'm still his mother.
When will you meet Gyung Soo?
You said you'll meet him and convince him yourself.
Shall I set up a date?
I did tell him you were hoping to adopt him.
And what did he say?
He seems to be interested after hearing what you thought.
Since we're on this topic, I will set a date.
If Gyung Soo becomes the adopted son,
it wouldn't matter even if Kim Ji Sun showed up.
How would it benefit us...
even if he fooled around with a woman?
So, she brought it up to Gyung Soo.
How about not getting on Sook Jung's nerves...
and just laying low?
We could pick up the crumbs, at least.
She could be lying for me to hear it.
Being Sook Jung's son, Gyung Soo...
is not the kind of man who would be adopted into this family.
How would you know?
I've seen him.
What brings you here?
I wanted to ask you something.
I have to get ready for lunch business.
Did Sook Jung talk to you about the adoption?
I've heard.
According to what she said,
you seem to be interested in taking the offer.
Is that true?
Why should I...
tell you how I think?
I should tell President Kang.
So, are you interested or not?
May I speak to President Kang Jong Gwon?
This is Jung Gyung Soo.
What are you calling about?
Manager Seo came to see me and is grilling me to answer...
whether I want to be adopted or not.
Did you send her over?
That temper of his.
He takes just after Sook Jung.
Min Gyung.
Were you so worried...
about Jung Gyung Soo becoming my adoptive son...
that you went over and spoiled things?
I didn't ruin anything.
Why did you go there and bother him?
I did no such thing.
Then why did you go over there?
I was curious. That's all.
And why would you be curious?
Of course, I'd be. It's a family matter.
If you're curious,
do you go anywhere and ask whatever causing trouble recklessly?
What do you take me for, Min Gyung?
What do you think I am that you acted so recklessly...
on something that involves the future of this family?
I don't think lightly of you.
You just can't take seeing me adopt a son.
Do you think I'd be adopting for no reason?
I need someone to handle everything...
so that the others can live too.
What will you do if he shuns the other family members?
I know what I am doing.
Don't worry.
Jong Woo,
you should move out.
I can't live under the same roof as Min Gyung.
Move out?
Where do you want me to go suddenly?
When they leave,
I will use the upstairs as a whole.
What's that about?
We don't have to share a room at our age.
What gives you the right to go there and bother him?
I got married into this family and had a child. That's why.
Seeing how Gyung Soo was reacting,
it wouldn't be easy to adopt him.
Well,
he won't do such a thing if he has a conscience.
Such a thing?
Don't meddle in all of this and pack up your things.
Kids don't turn out the way you want, do they?
He will become my son.
Is that what you mean?
You can't move upstairs.
Why would you say that?
I'm sick and tired of everything.
Jong Woo is a source of trouble,
and I'm fed up with you and Min Gyung!
I'm tired of everyone.
Why would you be tired of things you always have to deal with?
Are you distracted that I keep talking to you...
when your mind is elsewhere?
Why did I come here?
You came without a call.
It must be your day off as you're here.
I didn't go fishing today.
I came by as I had business nearby.
Have a seat.
Some of our customers...
roughly eat this with chopsticks as it's bothersome.
Cutlassfish is delicious today.
You should eat everything up since it'd be a waste.
Among my acquaintances,
there was someone...
who smiled broadly just like you.
Was there?
When I saw her smiling,
the whole world...
seemed peaceful.
I see.
It's good, isn't it?
Why don't you ask Mr. Jung?
Do you think he'd know about it?
Having a dad is not all that good.
With a mom, it'd be a different story.
They are just not with you,
but they are alive somewhere.
That's why you can say that.
Right, Young Shin.
You should ask Mr. Jung.
Mr. Jung, can I ask you something?
Sure.
What is it?
When the old man left me with you,
did he say anything about my dad?
No, he didn't.
He gave you a document back then.
Didn't it say anything about my dad?
No.
There was nothing.
That means my dad might be alive.
Sorry?
The old lady never told me that he passed away either.
But she said my mom passed away.
Could this mean that my dad...
is alive somewhere?
(A Good Supper)
You know Young Shin is dating Jun Young, right?
Would you like her to be the daughter-in-law in our family?
Did anyone ask you for money?
Never give them.
You'd never be able to get it.
I'm here to tell you something useful.
It'd be a loss if you miss out on it.
I wanted you to live properly and be happy.
I've been so careful and anxious.
Why can't you see that?
I'm sorry, Mr. Jung.
