If Jong Gwon dies from being sick,
wouldn't you, as his brother, get it all?
Honey.
If Jong Gwon's biological daughter shows up now,
what good will that do Jun Young?
- What? - Why are you looking at me like that?
Are you thinking that I hid my true colors for a while,
and now I'm showing them again?
Sure, these are my true colors.
Different circumstances require different survival tactics.
Stop being irrational!
How dare you yell at me? You've done nothing for Jun Young and me.
- Honey. - Jun Young...
lost his place as the heir. Whose fault was that?
It was his gambling father's fault.
That time, you went to the Han River to try to kill yourself, right?
What did you think about while you were on that bridge?
Weren't you sorry to your poor son for ruining his life by being his dad?
I'd rather die. How could I do that to Jong Gwon?
Really?
Then die.
You didn't even die. You can't even die.
Do you know why people become miserable?
They become miserable because they can't die.
They can't die,
so they struggle to live like maggots squirming on a cheesecake.
Honey, I can't do that.
Think of Jong Gwon's life. Don't you feel pity for him?
Why should I pity him?
He's lived a long, comfortable life with no kids and no big heartbreaks.
Comfortable life?
I feel so bad for Jun Young that my heart has been torn...
every single day all this time.
You gambled away all of our assets without even consulting your wife,
and whenever you got any more money, you'd gamble that away too.
If it weren't for that and my son, why would I have stayed with you?
My husband's treated like a farmhand, so how do you think it was for me?
You've done so wrong by your wife and child,
so why are you suddenly so loyal to your brother?
If you never want to see me again,
then go ahead and hurry to find your brother's daughter.
Parents can do something worse if it's for their children.
Consider it the last thing you can do for your son...
and keep your mouth shut.
Welcome, Manager Oh. Have a seat.
What did you want to see me about?
I thought you'd be curious about President Kang's health.
Well, with him unable to come to work, I have been worried.
His recovery is slow-going, so he won't be back to work for a while.
Could I visit him at home?
Of course. However,
it'll be dangerous for him to hear any shocking news.
You're aware that Mrs. Choi is no longer a part of the family, right?
Of course.
Then, who is left?
What are you trying to say?
I'm bad at speaking in vague terms,
but I'm reasonable, so I know how to give thanks.
Depending on what a counterpart does for me,
I've always paid them back in return.
How is President Kang's task going?
I don't know what you mean.
You can report your findings to me.
I'm not sure what you mean.
President Kang asked you to find his possible daughter, right?
Yes, that's right.
I'm saying, if you find her, I want you to report to me first.
Why should I do that?
Now, the company belongs...
to my husband, me, and Jun Young.
Who else is left in the family?
So, do you mean that even if I find his daughter,
I shouldn't tell President Kang?
Of course.
If you follow my request, I'll give you a franchise restaurant.
Come in.
President Kang, please have some food.
I'm fine.
I don't have an appetite.
President Kang, Park Gyung Chul has come to see you.
Mr. Park?
What brings you here?
I thought you'd tell me not to come if I called in advance, so I just came.
Thank you for coming.
The sun feels nice.
Young Shin said that you'd probably be lonely all day...
and suggested that I come to chat with you.
Thank you.
It's so nice to see you that I feel like I might cry.
How do I look?
You look great.
That's a relief.
I have a caregiver and someone who does my errands,
but I don't have anything to talk about with them.
I feel so happy to see you as I would if my late parents...
came back to life.
I'll visit you often.
Who told you to make kimchi?
Stop talking to me like that. It looks bad.
Won't you stop?
What else do I have to do when I'm stuck in that room?
Are you worried that I'll ask you to pay me?
What do you really want?
It was always my dream to live with you.
Your dream?
Did you just come from President Kang's house?
Go into your room for a while.
No, thank you.
I've already salted cabbage for kimchi. Now, I need to peel the garlic.
He's aged so much in such a short time.
I was so shocked.
Really?
Why did you come here?
Go and peel the garlic.
I want to have a cup of tea.
Don't mind me. Go on with your conversation.
How is President Kang doing?
Why are you acting like it's some big secret?
Is he recovering well?
I'm not sure about that,
but he looked a lot older and out of energy.
I guess he was lonely because he was so happy to see me.
I felt so bad to leave him.
Does he seem lonely?
Yes.
Tell Young Shin to quit the restaurant job and stay with President Kang.
He might die like that since he's so old.
If he skips his meals and is lonely, he could die.
Are you saying that out of concern for President Kang?
No, I'm saying that out of concern for myself. Why?
Even if I get divorced, I need to return to the restaurant.
Stop being so ridiculous.
Then, do you really want me to stay here with you, cooking and making kimchi?
You said it was your dream.
Right, okay, let's do that.
Let's make up for the lost time as mother and son,
and let's live happily ever after until I die.
Go get groceries. Aren't you going to open for dinner?
Should I go?
Yong Goo, I'm so sorry about yesterday.
I want to apologize on her behalf.
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
Did something happen that warrants an apology?
Well,
no, just yesterday,
Yong Goo came to have lunch...
You don't need to know.
Pil Sun, come over here!
Okay.
Did something happen at the Diner yesterday?
No, it was no big deal.
Why did Gyung Soo come to apologize if it's no big deal?
What happened?
You won't tell me?
I have no choice. Gyung Soo, tell me. What happened?
I thought you already knew.
I can only accept your apology if I know what's going on!
Mother! What position will you leave Gyung Soo in if you do this?
Look here, Gyung Soo's mother!
Gyung Soo's mother? That sounds good.
Why don't you just call me Gyung Soo's mom?
Look here, Gyung Soo's mom!
You have a child of your own.
What kind of nonsense did you say to someone else's child?
What nonsense?
"You do everything we do"?
How can you say such a thing when his girlfriend is next to him?
You wench!
If you grab my hair now, I'll get hair in the kimchi.
But if you want to, hold on and grab it later.
What's that?
Where did you learn to spit out such ridiculous words out of your mouth?
Look, did you not have a father?
Did he let his daughter talk like that?
Why are you asking for my late father all of a sudden?
This is all I will say for Gyung Soo's sake.
So watch what you say to Yong Goo!
Even though he has no physical defects,
my son doesn't even have a girlfriend at his age.
I said that because I was jealous.
Why?
"Even though he has no physical defects"?
- Why this woman! - Please stop.
I'm sorry! I'll apologize for that!
Please hold back for my sake.
Let me apologize on her behalf.
Gyung Soo, try this kimchi to see if it's well-seasoned.
Gyung Soo. I'm sorry,
but I don't think I can come here to eat from this evening.
Let's go.
What?
You should've apologized. Are you going to act this way?
I really said it because I was jealous.
His girlfriend is beautiful and sweet.
I was very jealous.
I would be so happy to have a daughter-in-law like her.
Young Shin is scary. She scares me.
See if it tastes good.
I won't be eating there for a while.
Then Gyung Soo will be upset.
I know that.
But how can I eat at a table with a woman who says that to my child?
That nasty woman.
Mother, don't be like this.
I said I was okay.
You might be okay, but I'm not okay as your mother!
Still, she's Gyung Soo's mom.
She's more like a burden, not a parent.
Right. Let's eat.
Is your mother not coming?
Yes, she doesn't feel well.
I'm sorry, Gyung Soo.
You don't need to be.
Eat up.
Okay. Thank you for the meal.
Ms. Lee.
Enjoy.
Okay, Mrs. Choi.
How are you doing these days?
You couldn't have gotten a job at another restaurant anyway.
Did you get a job by any chance?
No, I'm taking time off.
Why did you want to become a cook?
You should stay with your parents and get married.
Do you think you can be a cook with just a license?
Having a driver's license doesn't mean everyone drives.
You must be full without eating...
as you have a wonderful daughter like Ms. Lee.
Are you being sarcastic?
Why would I be sarcastic?
You have a complex, don't you?
Now that I think about it, you came that day.
As you couldn't handle Ms. Lee glaring and making a fuss,
you lifted her from behind and left.
She kicked in the air as you were going out.
I took a cheongsimhwan that day as I was so surprised.
I will leave first.
Let's go, honey.
Just eat.
We're not eating for free. We paid precious money for this.
What are we guilty of to hear this?
I see Ms. Lee gets her temper from her mother.
Gyung Soo, I'm sorry. I can't come here for a while.
The people in this town are so weird.
They all get angry when I talk about their children.
Did I make something up?
Can't you please shut it?
Why are you shouting?
She doesn't compare to Young Shin, to be honest,
but she did everything to outdo Young Shin and ended up like this.
I don't know about other people, but I know a bit about her.
I'll call you again if I need you, so wait quietly at home.
Hey!
This is going on for days. This is not right.
Leave immediately! Get out of my house!
- No way. - Shall I call the police to drag you out?
Do you think the police drags anyone out?
If you call the police to drive your mother out,
they might arrest you instead.
Call them then!
That was a cheap shot.
Why are you so angry? I warned you...
that I'll be a burden to you from now on.
I'm luggage that you can't throw away.
Old, poor, and nasty-tempered parents are a burden.
Take this opportunity to know how that feels.
If it weren't for Gyung Soo, I would've ended her!
She should apologize for using my precious child and throwing her away.
"I'll call you again if I need you, so wait quietly?"
Does she want to die?
Where are you going? Are you going to fight her?
I'm going to Mang Soon!
Why are you here at this hour?
I wanted to curse that woman.
I think I'll get sick if I just sleep.
I heard from Oh Bok.
She's throwing a tantrum.
She's doing all this because of Gyung Soo.
How can there be such a woman?
It's women like her who can hide that she has a child...
and got married like she didn't.
So, is she going to stick around here forever?
She's Gyung Soo's mother. If she wants to stay, we have to let her.
What can we do until she leaves herself?
Gyung Soo would be so embarrassed.
Why isn't Young Shin showing up with all this fuss going on?
What's the difference if she comes?
Goodnight, Gyung Soo. See you tomorrow.
Do you want to see the Diner close down?
Why would the Diner close down?
Then what can we live on?
Must I disappear somewhere for you to leave?
No. I'm going to take care of the Diner until you come back.
If you open and close like that, there will be no customers left.
That's why you get tied down when you run a restaurant.
Shall I go to the market today?
Don't you think I should introduce myself to the market people?
Welcome.
You came as it's break time at the restaurant.
What are you doing here?
Can't you see?
I'm cooking with my son.
Isn't that nice?
I heard everything as Oh Bok called me.
There's no match for her in a lot of ways.
She's staying in the room you used.
Why does that matter?
I'm a closed person, so I can't stand anyone invading my space.
I can't keep my head straight. I just can't stand it.
She's your mother.
Her goal is to keep you from going to the Korean restaurant.
I assumed so.
Neither you nor I can live with such great greed.
How did it end up like this?
Mr. Jung.
Look at me.
Someday, for sure,
we'll go back to the peaceful old days.
No.
I don't think we can go back to those days.
No.
I'll make sure we do.
Young Shin. Your mother...
died because of Choi Sook Jung.
What can we do?
Why did you want to see me?
Sit down.
What are you going to do from now on?
Jung Hoon.
Can you wait for Young Shin a little longer?
I need some time.
Can you give me some time...
to send Young Shin back to you?
You should be at the counter. What brings you here at this time?
I wanted to see how you were doing.
Don't try to do anything...
because you're watching the counter again.
Don't worry about that.
Sit down.
Jong Woo.
I'm sorry that I've been...
so strict with you so far.
Why would you say that?
I might die in my sleep,
so I wanted to tell you that.
Jong Gwon.
You went out of line...
because I was so strict with you.
I got to think that way.
That's not true.
When you lash at someone,
they can go further away...
to find room to breathe.
You were only worried for me.
I see you're getting older too.
I thought you'd never age.
If Jong Gwon's biological daughter shows up now,
what good will that do Jun Young?
Consider it the last thing you can do for your son...
and keep your mouth shut.
Jong Gwon.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Get back to the restaurant.
It must be tough on Min Gyung.
Jong Gwon.
I'm sorry.
Why did you want to see me?
It's been a while.
When will Sook Jung take her things?
I brought her clothes she'd need right away.
You know that's not what I mean.
It's not pleasant seeing her things when she has moved out.
Tell her to take her stuff out soon.
She'll take care of them when she gets a divorce.
Where is she staying?
At a hotel?
What brings you here?
I thought you might be here, and you really are.
What does it matter to you?
Are you happy to be living with your son?
Are you here to see how I'm doing?
Take your stuff out. Why aren't you taking them out?
I'll take care of them after the divorce procedures.
When will you come for them?
Are you here to ask me that?
I should oversee the schedule now that I'm the owner.
Why would you come and see when I move out my things?
Jong Gwon is staying at home.
So, are you going to be there watching,
in case I cling to him?
You never know how your life will turn out.
You put on airs as the owner of the great Royal Palace,
but now you're stuck at a diner in the country...
and preparing bean sprouts.
Are you here to mess with me?
You've been longing to be with your son, and now you really are.
When did I long for him?
You were itching to adopt Jung Gyung Soo.
Is the restaurant doing well?
Of course.
Now that we have Young Shin instead of Chef Choi,
the sales have jumped.
You should watch Jong Woo.
Who knows what he'll do now that he's in charge of the books?
It's only a few hundred thousand dollars.
Why would I discourage my husband...
over a few hundred thousand dollars?
A few hundred thousand dollars?
Don't worry. He's got it together.
He has been balancing the accounts...
so that not even a bowl of jjajangmyeon is missing.
When will you take your things out?
Set a date now.
I wonder how you'll fit in all your things here.
Is the house good to live in?
Would you like to give me a tour?
If you're done talking, you should leave.
I'll set a date and text you to let you know.
I'll be waiting.
You fit in better than I thought...
in this diner in a rural town.
Is it because of your background?
What brings you here, ma'am?
I lived here until not long ago.
How dare you ask me that?
He's asleep now. Please wait for him.
Who did you say is here?
Are you here to take your things?
Gyung Soo packed some food to eat.
You can leave it there.
Secretary Kim, give us some space.
Wait for me outside and come back when I call you.
Did you get rid of me so you would live in this state?
I can't talk to you for long as I'm exhausted.
Make it short.
I'll divorce you, so let me stay by your side.
It can be for a short while,
so give me time to atone for my sin.
That's not necessary.
When we become strangers after the documents are settled,
there's nothing I can try to gain from you.
Think of me as a housekeeper. Look at yourself.
You look like an 80-year-old man.
That's not true.
Everyone's busy living their lives,
so they are neglecting you when you are sick.
I'll stay until you recover.
They say a bad wife is better than ten good sons.
We don't have children,
and you look awful now.
Are you willing to...
take care of me...
even after we split up?
We've lived for all these years.
It breaks my heart to see you like this.
If your parents saw you from up above,
they'd be devastated. Do you know how you look?
(A Good Supper)
A proposal?
How is it usually done?
I told her we should get married unless she thinks otherwise.
"My mother wants to see you."
Your mother told me to stay friends with you.
Can you take a picture of us?
We're newlyweds.
Who knows what trick she'll play...
if that nasty woman stays with Jong Gwon?
It moved my heart to see my son asleep.
Would you forgive me if it were you?
