(Episode 82)
Why aren't you answering your phone?
I guess I left it in my room because I was so busy.
President Kang was transferred to a normal hospital room.
I know you were very worried.
I was so worried that he'd pass away after I shocked him so much.
That's such a relief.
What do you think will happen to Mrs. Choi now?
What will happen to me...
after your uncle is discharged?
I think you'll need to prepare yourself.
No.
I came so far.
This is great.
If I get kicked out without a penny of alimony,
you can take care of me from now on.
It's all because of you and your father, after all.
I don't have much money left after your father took a million dollars.
If I can't get any alimony, I have no place to live.
What are you going to do?
Your father must be so happy now.
Just because he wanted to take a few more pennies from me,
he went to Young Shin and asked her if she's curious about how her mom died.
Then, you got on your high horse and gave the photo back to Young Shin.
Congratulations to you two.
Isn't it great?
You lasted way too long.
What?
I thought your greed would've stopped by now.
How can you just ignore everyone else's advice...
and so brazenly think of becoming the president?
If you hadn't set your eyes on becoming the president,
I bet Jung Gyung Soo wouldn't have said he was your son.
Why do you always do what you want...
and blame everyone else in the end? Why?
Now that I'm going to lose everything and be kicked out,
do you think you can just step on me?
How dare you yell at me?
You'll manage to feed yourself.
What? I'll manage to feed myself?
Even as a dishwasher at the Yunghwadang, I never skipped a meal.
Do you think I did all this...
just so I could have something to eat?
As soon as Jong Gwon recovers,
everything will be over.
Since when was my brother so old?
Why did you come here?
I'm his wife. If I'm not here, who else should come?
You and Jong Woo should go home and get some rest.
What?
Why? Do you not want to get some rest?
If you don't want to, then don't.
Where do you think you're going?
I'm that man's wife.
Who are you to stop me from going into his hospital room?
You said that he forgave you for the fact that Jung Gyung Soo is your son.
What does that mean?
When he wakes up,
I'm going to ask him.
If he says that didn't happen,
what would that mean?
Wouldn't that mean you were hoping he'd die?
What?
I wonder how Jong Gwon will feel...
when he hears about that.
Choi Sook Jung, you're over.
His wife?
Whose wife are you?
Stop being ridiculous,
and just go home quietly and pack your bags.
Until he leaves the hospital safely,
you will not see his face.
Who are you to block his wife's entry...
to his hospital room?
He's asleep.
I'll stay here, so you should go home and rest.
It's okay.
No, you and Min Gyung should go home and rest.
I can't.
You can't?
Why not?
He needs absolute stability right now, so you can't be here.
If he sees your face,
he might get shocked and fall back into a dangerous state.
Min Gyung, see Sook Jung out.
Choi Sook Jung, please leave while we're asking you quietly.
Are you really going to go to Pil Sun's family's house?
Why do you want to go there and get yourself into trouble?
Still, I need to go.
Do you think they'll give you their approval if you show up?
It doesn't matter if I don't get their approval.
Pil Sun's waiting for me,
and that's why I'm going.
My son is so brave.
I think most people...
have a moment in life when they need...
to muster up all the courage they possibly can.
Why aren't you studying the script you wrote down? Did you memorize it?
Some feelings can't be expressed in words.
Okay.
Since you're so brave now,
I'll be brave too.
We're going, Grandma.
I'll be back.
My son, you're so handsome.
Keep this safe...
and send him in with it when he goes inside their house.
What's this?
It's a premium Korean beef set.
We haven't even been invited.
Don't you think they'll be offended if we bring this?
Well, they probably won't throw it out in front of you.
Still, how can he go empty-handed? It's his first time visiting.
Even if your uncle is poorly treated,
you can't stand up and get angry for him, okay?
Okay.
I won't stand up for him even if they splash water all over him.
The taxi driver's waiting. Go ahead.
Yong Goo is so brave.
I just hope he doesn't get all splashed.
So, where's Pil Sun now?
Her mother took her out to the countryside.
So, she's at her countryside house?
Should I have told him to mention that he has four savings accounts?
He has four savings accounts?
Don't tell anyone else,
but I also have a small townhouse perfect for the two of them...
in Yong Goo's name.
It's being rented at the moment.
He's rich, then.
How could I leave him alone in the world,
growing old alone and poor?
I worked myself to the bone, saving for him...
so he wouldn't be left miserable.
Do you want me to go in with you?
No.
You should just stay here.
Excuse me.
Is anyone home?
Yong Goo.
Pil Sun.
I'm here.
I really didn't think you'd come.
My mom is out in the field.
Where's the field?
Do you want to go together?
No, just tell me where it is...
and stay home.
Who are you?
Why are you working in someone else's field?
You startled me.
It's me, Mother.
What are you doing squatted like that?
Last time, I was so flustered...
that I couldn't introduce myself properly.
I don't care if you were flustered. What are you doing here?
If you came all the way here, you should at least say something.
What are you trying to do by just squatting there and working?
I memorized what I wanted to say to you,
but I forgot it.
I can only remember one line.
Last time, I was too flustered...
This is unbelievable.
Get up right now.
What are you doing?
Stop playing around.
When my father was still alive,
I did some farm work.
I've been doing it since I was young, so I'm a professional at this.
You can't play around...
and put off work in farming.
Even when a stranger comes,
you must get the day's work done.
Let's get it done quickly and go home to talk.
He's a slow talker, but his hands are so fast.
I didn't learn to farm. I was in business early on.
Why isn't Uncle Yong Goo coming?
He changed his clothes to work in the fields with her.
They won't come back until it gets dark.
Do you want some steamed potatoes? The potatoes are delicious here!
His work skills are different as he's a man.
Let go! Mom.
Listen to what I have to say from now on.
I was dumped by the man I've been dating for years!
I earned money and did everything for him when living together.
But when another woman showed up, he dumped me like a dog.
I clung to him, desperate and crying, but he went to her.
I even took pills...
as I couldn't stand it.
But I couldn't end this tough life.
I met Yong Goo,
and my wounds didn't hurt anymore.
I was grateful...
that I was alive.
That's what Yong Goo is like to me.
I'm okay. You drink it.
You must be thirsty.
Thank you.
Can I drink directly from the bottle?
I drank directly from it too.
You can't drink all that!
This needs to last us until the end of work.
Oh, all right.
Thank you for the water.
It's still bright, but we're already done and going home.
That's right.
You must be hungry.
It tastes better if you hold the hunger in.
So you are hungry.
A little.
Just be friends.
Can I be her friend?
I can't allow you to get married.
I'm grateful even if we could only be friends.
I'm thankful...
to be allowed to see her.
Pil Sun...
went through a lot of trouble.
It's not my greed...
to want her to marry into an ordinary family...
and live like everyone else.
Of course! I understand.
How come you finished so quickly?
I was surprised when I got your call.
He's a quick worker.
He finished in the blink of an eye.
- You worked hard. - It was nothing.
Your mother worked hard.
It's a lot harder than you think...
to squat down and do farm work.
What's with the meat?
Yong Goo's mother sent over premium Korean beef.
Gosh, the meat looks great. This is expensive.
But who is this young man?
Nice to meet you. I couldn't say hello last time as it was hectic.
I'm Jang Oh Bok.
He's Yong Goo's nephew.
I see you came with your uncle.
I'm starving. The table is set, so let's hurry up and eat.
Can I eat with you?
Of course, you can. Shall I eat this by myself?
Have you seen guests going home starving from the countryside?
Plus, your mother sent over this precious meat.
Thank you for the meal.
Sit down.
This beef is good.
Yong Goo. Don't find it too hard and keep eating.
I'm eating a lot.
Uncle Yong Goo.
You should make a wrap with lettuce.
These vegetables are crunchy and so delicious...
as they were picked directly from the field!
Here.
Open up.
Should I give this to elders first?
Would you like to try it, ma'am?
No, give it to your uncle. I can wrap one myself.
My grandma raised me without my parents,
so I don't have good manners. I'm sorry.
All young people are like that these days.
It's not bad to see you take care of your uncle.
I can do anything for my uncle.
He really is like an angel.
As I have my own children,
I don't feel comfortable speaking harshly to someone else's child.
But as I said before, I can't allow you to marry her.
I can't allow it as I'm her mother.
You understood me, right?
Yes, Mother.
It doesn't feel right hearing you call me "mother."
- Okay, lady. - Lady?
No, I mean...
Call her "ma'am."
Okay, ma'am. I'm sorry.
Eat quickly and go home before the traffic gets jammed.
Hurry up and eat. Let's eat fast and leave.
No. Take your time.
My mom always says to go home before the traffic gets jammed,
even when we come.
She doesn't really mean it. Isn't that right, Mom?
Anyway, I can't send you back empty-handed.
What can I get all of a sudden?
She's going to the storage room to pack something for you.
Tell her to share this with her neighbors.
No, it's okay.
What is this?
What can I get suddenly in this village?
It's dried persimmons made at home.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you for everything today,
but there's no need to come back.
Yes, I won't come back.
Take care of yourself.
Oh Bok, you went through a lot too. Take your uncle home.
It was a fairly good day today, wasn't it?
Of course! This is a huge success.
We braced ourselves to be struck by water.
Come by yourself next time.
You can come alone as you've been here once, right?
Can I come again?
There's no stopping you.
Then call me when there's a lot of work in the field.
- Pil Sun, go inside. We'll get going. - Goodbye.
Thank you for coming today!
Even at that age,
he looks as if he hasn't been soiled one bit.
He has a gentle nature.
I told you.
I feel sad for him as someone else's child.
It'd be sadder if he were my own child.
But you can't marry him.
I get it. How many times are you saying that?
Goodness.
Do you like him that much?
You were pouting and didn't even laugh for days.
She must be so generous. How will we eat all this?
She packed a lot for us to share with the neighbors.
Did she really pack this for you?
Do you think we bought this on our way home?
I just can't believe it.
She didn't give her approval.
You can try to show your good side whenever you get a chance.
I have a feeling that this will go well.
Me too.
Did they pack this for you?
She didn't give her approval.
She told me to stay friends with her.
It'll be helpful to stay as friends and think over this matter more carefully.
It's a good thing you plucked up the courage to go there.
When I do what Mr. Lee says, good things always happen.
That's the best compliment I've ever got.
Her mother must not be hard-hearted.
Dried persimmons are good.
It's much better than the ones at the supermarket.
Eat up, Da Jung.
Okay, Yong Goo.
Take care, Yong Goo.
Goodnight.
You didn't have to come today as you must be tired.
I thought you'd be glad to hear it.
Yes, I'm really glad.
Go home and take some rest.
Take care, Yong Goo.
You completed one mission, Mr. Lee.
I think it was a good idea to send him to Pil Sun's.
As Yong Goo said, when you do as I say, good things will happen.
What do you mean good things will happen?
- It only increases credit card debt. - What?
You bought school supplies, sneakers, and clothes for kids.
Do you know how much we pay for that?
Since she told them to stay as friends, he won't have to miss her anymore.
He can see her when he wants.
Let's go in.
He keeps sleeping.
You should go home, honey.
I'll stay here, so please go and get some rest.
No, I'll sit by his bedside.
You might fall ill.
Do you want more trouble?
Let's leave him to Young Shin and get some rest at home.
I can trust Young Shin to take care of him.
Are you saying you don't trust me?
You're not patient.
In less than an hour, you'll go downstairs for a coffee or whatever.
Do you think it's easy to sit by someone in a hospital ward?
You think half a day went past, but it's ten minutes.
You look again, and it's 20 minutes.
Time doesn't go by.
You can't do this unless you are devoted.
All right. Let's leave him to Young Shin and go home.
Come on.
They treated me like a sinner and didn't even let me in.
I heard some people go back...
to the intensive care unit when conditions get worse again.
Aunt Sook Jung.
I feel like I'm walking on thin ice. I'm so distressed.
How come you're here, Jong Woo? Don't you have to stay in the ward?
Don't worry. Young Shin is in the hospital.
Why don't you go wash up and get some sleep?
How can you let someone other than the family stay there?
I have to go now.
Did you pack all your things?
He'd be disappointed if he hears his wife didn't stay in the hospital.
Who are you saying is still his wife?
I'm still President Kang's legal wife.
Mrs. Choi, what brings you here?
You're going through the trouble.
I'll stay here, so go downstairs and take a tea break.
It's okay. I can have it here.
I need to tell him something when he wakes up.
I don't think I'd have the time to ask for his forgiveness.
Manager Seo told me not to move an inch.
Why would you look at me that way?
You need to pay Gyung Soo back.
This is the moment for you to repay Gyung Soo.
Is giving you time to ask for President Kang's forgiveness...
a way for me to repay Mr. Jung?
Of course.
I think you can ask for his forgiveness even if I'm by his side.
I need to talk to you.
Is there anything left to be said?
I want to ask you a favor.
Don't say it. I don't want to hear it.
Tell Young Shin to listen to what I say.
Listen to what?
Tell her to leave for a moment while staying by his side.
What did you say?
If Jong Gwon regains consciousness, it'll be over for me.
So?
The sky is giving you one more chance.
You wouldn't have been born if it weren't for me.
Who knows how Young Shin would've ended up if it weren't for you?
I only need a moment.
She can go down to buy a beverage.
Is that how you're going to be as long as you live?
Are you going to live your life like that to the end?
What do you think you're asking me?
If President Kang kicks me out, I'm not going to live anymore.
What?
Then I'll be dying because of you.
Do you want to carry that memory all your life?
Listen to me, Mrs. Choi Sook Jung!
Save me.
Save me, please. I can't end things here.
No? Forget about it, then.
People only have one life.
Do you know what this is?
It's a pesticide.
You must know what happens when you take this...
since you live out here.
Answer me. Do you want to see me die?
She can leave the room just for a while.
It won't harm Young Shin in any way.
Shut your mouth.
I'm about to die here. Can't you do that much as my son?
Who's keeping you from doing it?
I'm about to die here!
No!
Why did you stop me?
You should've left me to have it and die.
You should've left me to die! Why did you stop me?
You want me to ask Young Shin what?
Why don't you just kill me?
Please end my life.
Just kill me!
(A Good Supper)
I've done wrong. Forgive me this once.
- Let me go. Honey. - It's distracting, so make her leave.
It's fantastic now that Sook Jung left the family.
It's going to be our world again.
What's going on?
What did I just see?
Who are you?
This must be Young Shin's room.
I'll be using this room from today.
Please free Young Shin from your complicated life.
I'm worried about how Young Shin's life will turn out.
Don't worry. Marry Young Shin. I'll give you my permission.
I want to have a good life with my son and daughter-in-law.
