(Episode 106)
Pardon me?
You are Jan Di's mother?
Yes. And I'm also...
Kang San's wife.
It's nice to meet you, Ms. Ok Mi Rae.
What is going on here?
Oh, no. Kang San.
You haven't told her?
Kang San.
I hope I'm not being rude.
I heard you and Kang San were planning to get married soon.
I just thought you should know about the situation.
I'll be off, then.
- Wait, Mi Rae. - Don't go, Kang San.
What do you think you're doing?
I have something to say.
You have something to say?
What is it?
I thought she knew about me.
I want...
to go back to where I should be.
Sun Ju.
Can't I?
Please, that's enough.
Mi Rae.
Mi Rae! Wait.
Wait! Please let me explain.
What do you want to explain now?
All this time, you hid from me...
that Jan Di's mother was back.
I should have told you.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Yes.
It mustn't have been easy for you to tell me. It must've been very hard.
But if you trusted me,
you should have told me.
Am I wrong?
No, you're right.
You're absolutely right.
That's why I was going to tell you earlier, but...
Dad! Ms. Ok!
Jan Di.
Oh, what's wrong?
Don't tell me you two fought.
What? Why would we fight?
Jan Di, something has come up for me. I have to go.
What? Ms. Ok!
Dad, tell me the truth.
What do you mean?
Ms. Ok found out that Mom came back, didn't she?
My gosh. What should we do?
I couldn't tell her either.
She seemed very upset.
Jan Di.
It's not your fault.
I should've told her.
Don't be too upset.
What should we do?
It'll be all right.

(Director's Office)
Oh! Ms. Ok.
You said you were meeting Kang San.
Why are you back already?
Well, the thing is...
Ms. Ok, you look so upset.
Did something happen?
Well, I met Jan Di's mother.
What? You met Sun Ju?
Yes.
I see.
I'm sorry, Ms. Ok.
Why are you sorry, Ms. Jang?
We actually...
knew that Sun Ju was back.
But...
we couldn't tell you.
I'm really sorry, Ms. Ok.
Here.
(Horang Art Academy)
You know,
we weren't intentionally trying to deceive you.
You know that, right?
She's right.
We really weren't trying to hide it from you.
It's just that we couldn't find the right opportunity to tell you.
She's Jan Di's mom, but so what?
She abandoned Jan Di for ten years!
My point, exactly.
Why was Kang San so in love with such a selfish girl?
I get that she was his first love,
but I really don't understand this.
Hey, have you forgotten all about it?
When Kang San was having a hard time trying to look after his grandma...
who had Alzheimer's,
Sun Ju helped him out a lot.
He still can't forget it to this day.
Right.
Sun Ju was very innocent back then.
Ms. Ok. If your family finds out about this,
they'll be utterly shocked.
What are you going to do?
Your boyfriend's wife...
who was thought to be dead is back.
Ho Rang. Let's drop this, okay?
Hey, I'm just worried about Ms. Ok.
What woman can handle this?
Even if she loves Kang San very much,
she can't handle this.
Ms. Jang, I should get going.
- What? - Oh...
- Ms. Ok, get home safely. - Will do.
My gosh. All right, then. Bye.
Hey! Why did you say that? That was unnecessary!
Look who's talking!
You're the one who told her that Sun Ju looked after his grandma.
What if Ms. Ok dumps Kang San...
because she's utterly shocked?
Well, I don't know.
You've now inherited all the assets...
that Mr. James Kim left behind for you.
Thank you, Attorney Choi.
I plan to stay in Korea for a while.
Please sell the real estate properties one by one.
Will do.
Oh, right. Did you meet your daughter? You said she was in Korea.
Yes.
I see. That's great.
My daughter is starting to open up to me.
Also, my husband and I will get back together soon.
Mom, what should I do?
Based on what Jan Di said,
I think Ms. Ok now knows that Sun Ju is back.
It's actually good.
She should know too.
Gosh. We should've just registered her death...
so things wouldn't get complicated legally.
Register her death?
Who are you talking about?
Sun Ju, who else?
Look, Sang Soo.
Mother. It's not like Kang San and Sun Ju will get back together.
Since this already happened, tell them to hurry up and get a divorce.
What? Divorce?
Yes, you heard me right.
What's the rush?
It's only been a little while since Sun Ju returned to Korea.
Once she gets settled in,
then we can start thinking about it.
Mom, what do you mean?
Start thinking about what?
What? Oh, well...
I mean, they have Jan Di, so...
Hey, Kang San. Come here.
I heard Mi Rae found out too. Is she okay?
Hey, what did Ms. Ok say?
Does she want to break up with you because of Sun Ju?
Did she really say that?
I have to step out.
Oh, dear.
My gosh.
Goodness. He looks so upset.
Right.
His ex-wife who was thought to be dead came back alive.
Of course, Mi Rae won't be okay with it.
Kang San must be so stressed out right now.
My goodness.
I'm Lee Sun Ju, Jan Di's mother.
And legally,
I am still Kang San's wife.
Mi Rae, I'm in front of your house now. Let's talk.
(Kang San)
I need some time to think.
Let's talk another time.
Hello.
Mr. Geum, what are you doing here at this hour?
Well...
You're getting home now?
Are you here to see Mi Rae?
Yes, I am.
Well, then come in.
No, it's okay.
It's getting late, so I should go home.
What?
Mother. Mi Rae is acting really strange today, don't you think?
She hasn't said a word since she got home.
She won't even come downstairs.
Right. I wonder if something happened today.
I'm home!
- Hi, you're back. - Yes.
Jae Hyun, you worked hard today.
Yes.
Hold on. Where's Mi Rae?
I ran into Mr. Geum outside. He just left.
Why did Kang San come all the way here and just leave...
without seeing Mi Rae?
Maybe they fought.
Mi Rae seemed to be in a bad mood today.
Why would they fight?
We all know how Kang San is.
He'd never do anything to upset Mi Rae.
Oh, please. He's a man too.
He's a good-looking guy, so you never know.
Anyway, if he ever does anything to upset Mi Rae,
I'll teach him a serious lesson.
Seriously, I can't believe I have to put up with this at this age.
I'm practically grounded. He won't even let me leave the house.
If we didn't live on a high floor,
I would've climbed down with a rope long ago.
Auntie Kyu Sun. I know you're joking, but don't say such a scary thing.
I am not joking.
I haven't seen Doo Ho for days.
I'm about to lose my mind.
Auntie Kyu Sun. The thing is,
I saw him yesterday.
What? Really?
How is he? How's Doo Ho doing?
I think he's devastated too.
My goodness. I'm so worried about my Doo Ho.
And I told him that Father listed the bakery for sale.
I advised him to look for another job.
What?
What if Doo Ho packs up and leaves again?
Gosh, I must do something about this.
Auntie Kyu Sun.
Kyu Chul!
How much longer will you make Mr. Kwak stand there?
Until you pull yourself together and give up.
What?
I refuse to be locked up in the house like this!
She's right, Father. Please stop.
If I don't do this, your aunt will go out to see that baker again.
I can't let that happen.
Fine, do whatever you want. I'm going out!
Step aside at once!
Please calm down.
Step aside now!
I'm sorry.
Kyu Chul!
Mr. Kwak, keep a watchful eye on her and make sure she doesn't go out.
Yes, sir.
Father, then who will drive?
Can you do it, Ju Hyuk?
- Me? - Yes, you have to go to work anyway.
Let's go together.
All right, then.
Auntie Kyu Sun, don't skip meals.
Don't worry. Have a good day, sir.
All right. I'm counting on you.
Yes, sir.
Please...
No, you can't go out.
Oh, boy. You'll collapse at this rate.
Can't Kyu Sun's brother give up already?
Here, eat this.
Come on. You're a big guy.
You need to eat something to get through this!
I'm not hungry.
I need to go talk to Ms. Ma.
Ms. Ma? Why?
I need to pay her for my electricity and water bills for last month.
Wait.
What is it?
If he finds out that Kang San's ex-wife is back,
things will get very messy.
Hand over the money. I'll give it to her.
- You? - Yes.
What's with that doubtful look?
Do you think I'll steal it?
And don't go to their house for the time being.
Why not? Did something happen?
Not really. It's just that Ms. Ma isn't in a good mood these days.
Try putting yourself in her shoes.
Her son-in-law is remarrying. Of course, she's not excited.
Right.
It's nice to eat your food after so many years, Mom.
I'm happy to hear that. Hey, do you want more soup?
I'm full.
Anyway, why did Kang San go to work so early?
What? Are you here to see Kang San?
This will make him uncomfortable.
Don't you think you should refrain from coming here whenever you want to?
Ye Ju, I don't appreciate the way you put it.
I can't even visit Mom whenever I want to?
Sun Ju, I heard everything.
You suddenly showed up in front of Ms. Ok and shocked her.
I wasn't trying to shock her. All I did...
was tell her the truth.
The truth?
Hey, do you think it's best for Kang San's sake?
He and Ms. Ok aren't getting along because of that.
I bet you have no idea how stressed he is right now.
Is that so?
I'll be honest. I don't want to see Jan Di grow up with a stepmother.
Gosh, good point.
Why should she, when her real mother is back and alive?
Mom!
What?
Why?
Look at this!
I can't believe you're here again.
Hello, Father.
"Father?" Why am I your "Father?"
Please forgive me.
I'll be good to you and Kang San from now on.
There's no point being good to him now.
Kang San is remarrying.
It won't be easy, Father.
What do you mean?
We'll soon have a pre-wedding meeting with her family.
What do you mean it won't be easy?
Mr. Geum, the thing is...
Ms. Ok found out that Sun Ju came back.
What?
She found out?
Yes. She found out somehow.
My goodness.
What is Kang San going to do now?
Ms. Ma, what should Kang San do?
Gosh.
Oh, dear.
My gosh.
Mi Rae!
Mi Rae.
Please hear me out.
I'm done listening to you.
You kept it from me...
because you were confused when you saw Jan Di's mom.
No.
I swear, that isn't the case.
Then what is it?
I...
couldn't tell you...
because I was afraid.
Of what? What were you so afraid of?
Losing you.
I was afraid you'd leave me.
That's why I couldn't tell you.
This taught me...
that I...
can't even breathe without you in my life.
I mean it, Mi Rae.
Do you think you were the only one who felt that way?
What do you mean?
I was afraid too.
I was terrified that you'd leave me.
Why would you even say that? I love you so much, Mi Rae.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Gosh, I'm exhausted.
I must keep going.
To make sure Jun Pyo can enter an elite high school,
I must stay in shape.
Oh, my goodness.
What's that couple doing in broad daylight?
What's going on? Isn't that Mi Rae and Mr. Geum?
Goodness.
Are they shooting a romance film in this sweltering heat?
They'll get a heatstroke at this rate.
Darn it. I should go around the block once more.
Sun Ju.
Have you told Kang San that you want to start over?
"Start over?" Come on.
Legally, we're still married, Mom.
Well, I know that.
But Kang San won't want to get back together with you.
I'll make him come back to me.
But I have to win Jan Di over first.
Gosh, Jan Di is your daughter.
Of course, she'll become attached to you with time.
Hey, Kang San is the problem.
Oh, I have to go this way.
Take this. I packed some side dishes for you.
Try them at home.
You're the best, Mom.
Are you really busy these days?
Sometimes, you don't even pick up when I call you.
Oh, it's because of the business I ran in the US.
Work is important too, but your health comes first.
I was so worried when you said you weren't feeling well.
A mother's heart breaks when she hears that her child is sick, okay?
All right. I promise you that I'll eat well from now on.
Bye, Mom.
All right. Visit us often.
Bye.
Get going.
Gosh.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Why isn't Jan Di picking up?
Is she at the academy now?
Who is it?
Kang San, what brings you by?
I need to talk to you about something.
Really?
Then let's sit down.
Come on.
Your girlfriend must be shocked because of me.
She seemed a little too delicate...
to handle a situation like this.
Kang San, I understand everything.
You must've been stressed and lonely while I was gone.
Hurry up and end things with her so we can start over.
Sun Ju.
It's not a fleeting romance.
I truly love Mi Rae.
What did you say?
Open it.
"Application for Divorce by Mutual Consent?"
What?
You want to divorce me?
First, I should end things with you for good.
That's only fair for Mi Rae.
I want to put my feelings for you...
behind me and move on.
Then what about Jan Di?
You know how happy she is that her mother is back.
As Jan Di's mother,
nothing will change for you.
Kang San.
I do not want to divorce you. I refuse!
Please reconsider.
No.
I will not change my mind about this.
Call me when you're done signing the papers.
Kang San.
(Horang Art Academy)
Ms. Ok.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you about my mom.
Don't worry about it, Jan Di.
I know you're very happy that your mom is back.
That's all I care about.
Really?
Yes, really.
I thought you were mad at me.
I'm not mad at you, so don't worry.
Jan Di.
Oh, Mom!
Hello.
Jan Di, I need to have a quick chat with Ms. Ok.
Do you mind stepping out for a moment?
Yes, Jan Di. Go to the office and have some snacks.
Okay, I will.
Jan Di told me so much about you.
She said you had been very good to her.
Thank you for all your hard work.
My pleasure.
Spending time with Jan Di never feels like work.
Oh, I see.
Anyway, I appreciate it.
But you know,
you don't need to be so good to Jan Di from now on.
Sorry?
I always have to repeat myself to you, don't I?
From now on, know your place and leave my daughter alone.
Ms. Lee.
Was Kang San not enough for you? How dare you try to win over my daughter?
You're committing adultery, after all.
"Adultery?"
You are out of line.
Kang San and I are still legally married. I already told you that.
You are dating my husband.
If that isn't adultery, what is?
So leave Kang San and Jan Di alone and get lost.
Okay?
No.
No matter what anyone says, I will stay by their side.
He really wants a divorce?
I believe Ms. Ok told your dad to do it.
- Are you not feeling well? - Gosh...
Ouch, my stomach...
I'm here.
Shall I knock some sense into you?
Kang San, is what Jan Di said all true?
Mother, please let me...
