(Episode 32)
Did you text me?
I didn't get it.
What? You didn't get it?
So is it not that you lost your phone because you got drunk?
I didn't lose my phone. It's right here.
Take a look.
There are no new messages from you, right?
What?
That's weird.
I wrote each word with care and affection.
Why? What was it about? Was it an important thing?
Well, it was...
What is it?
Shall I send you the text again?
No, you can just say it to me.
Okay. Well...
No. Never mind.
I was just checking on you because I was worried.
It happens from time to time, you know.
Ho Rang, I should go now.
Thank you so much again for yesterday.
No problem.
Bye, Kang San. Visit me again anytime.
I barely mustered up the courage since I was drunk...
and even added two hearts.
I mean, why wasn't my text delivered?
What? You deleted it?
So you're saying...
you actually deleted the text message from Ho Rang?
That's right! How many more times should I tell you?
Gosh, that's horrible.
You're like the lady in the movie "Misery" except you're his mother-in-law.
"Misery?" What do you mean by that?
It means you're so obsessed with Kang San.
I felt like Sun Ju would come back. I had no choice.
If Kang San falls in love with another woman and marries her,
and then Sun Ju comes back,
Kang San would regret it greatly.
You can't be sure when Sun Ju will come back.
Honestly, there's little chance she'll come back at this point.
You can't live with Kang San forever.
Whatever. I don't know.
Mom, don't tell me you want that.
I mean, I know I shouldn't do that to Kang San.
I keep telling myself it's not right.
But whenever I think of Sun Ju...
A few days ago, I saw her in my dream.
She was looking for me so desperately while calling me.
Ye Ju.
I'm sure that your sister is alive.
Mom, please.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
What?
Kang San says he'll meet his father before going home.
What?
What should I do?
Mr. Geum practically begged me to let him get a divorce.
But I couldn't even talk to Kang San about it. What do I do?
Really?
Mr. Geum isn't that type. Did he really beg you?
Yes, just as I said, you brat.
What a mess.
(Soju)
Father.
Why did you come here?
Are you sober now?
Yes.
Do you want another drink?
No, I'm good.
I got you some stir-fried tripe that you like.
Have some.
I don't want to eat it.
Whenever I see how you live there, I get so upset.
I'm sorry...
that I can't do any better.
Your mother-in-law told you, right?
About what?
That she'll let you get a divorce.
Did you tell her to let me get a divorce?
I guess she didn't say anything to you.
Father.
Gosh, that sly woman.
I even begged her to let you go.
But this is what I get?
- Let's go. - You're drunk. You can't go anywhere.
I'm going to settle this matter with her once and for all.
No. I said no!
Hey, let go of me at once.
You can't even walk straight. Father, please.
- Stop it. Let go, you brat. - Gosh.
If I just let it go like this,
your mother-in-law won't ever let you go.
It's no use talking to her, Father.
I won't divorce Sun Ju. I can't do that!
You idiot!
Why won't you divorce her? Why?
Why can't you get over her...
and divorce that wench who ran away?
- Father. - Why?
- Gosh, you're so loud. - You fool.
Stop yelling and just drink quietly.
Hello.
What now?
Why would you drag your son into your mess and cause a scene?
The landlord is already upset because we're behind on our rent.
Do you want to get kicked out of this house?
We'll be kicked out?
Fine. Tell him to try all he wants and kick us out.
Stop it. You're drunk. Come inside now.
I should go to my in-law's house now.
As if.
I know you're using it as an excuse...
to go to the dance club to meet that wench Hwa Jin again.
- Come inside now. - Gosh.
- Come with me right now. - Ouch.
- Hey, let go of me. - Come.
Go home right now...
and tell your mother-in-law that you'll get a divorce.
- Right now. - Go in!
Gosh, seriously.

(Math Performance Assessment)
What?
Where did you find this?
How... I asked you where you found this.
Jun Pyo brought it to me saying you had thrown it out.
My gosh. How did he see that?
I must say, he's never helpful.
Jun Pyo was worried you might not tell your father about the test.
I didn't ask him to worry about it.
Why did he do that when I never asked for it?
Jan Di.
Show this to your father and tell him about the test.
Why won't you answer me?
Ms. Ok, can you let it slide just this once?
No, I can't do that.
I'm just worried my dad might be totally shocked.
I mean, he's been having a rough time.
If he finds out that I got a zero on top of everything,
wouldn't he be really upset?
Jan Di, when you worked the part-time job without letting him know,
you promised you would never do that again in your letter of apology, right?
Yes, I did. But what does that have to do with this?
Don't you remember what really made your father upset?
He was upset because you lied to him...
and kept a secret from him.
I mean...
I know that, but...
You can study hard and improve your grades to redeem yourself.
But if you keep lying to your father,
that'd be a wrong thing to do that can't be undone.
Do you understand?
Come on. Hurry up.
Jan Di.
Hye Ri, you waited for long, right? I'm sorry.
No, I just got here.
But what's the matter? What are you worried about?
The thing is...
Tell me.
No one is around us.
Actually...
I got a zero on the math test.
And I don't know if I should show this to my dad.
I'm totally torn.
Oh, no.
You got a zero.
Why would you show him this?
Exactly.
I was going to tell him I lost it...
and lie about my score.
Then why don't you do that?
But I'm in a bad situation where I can't do so.
What bad situation?
Well...
You don't have to know.
Anyway, I'm relieved that my dad said he wouldn't get mad about my score.
Hey, you shouldn't believe your dad when he says that.
He may act like he's cool about it now, but when he sees your score,
that will change his thoughts.
And he'll cut off your phone right away.
Then you won't be able to listen to music or exchange DMs with your friends.
No! I can't let that happen. Never.
Oh, right. I have an idea.
(Math Performance Assessment)
Draw a vertical line before zero.
Draw a line?
I can turn 0 into 10.
You can make it 80 or 90...
Actually, you can make it 100 too.
But don't be too greedy.
You don't want to get caught. Okay?
Hye Ri.
You are...
a genius!
I love you so much. You're the best!
(Sun Bakery)
Ms. Dong, when are you leaving?
Me? I'll stay here until 9 p.m.
You said your nephew was staying at your house.
Well, he stays out late every day.
Besides, he's not really fun to be around since he's not a girl.
Didn't you say your future niece-in-law was very good to you?
That's true, but a nephew is a nephew.
Nowadays, people don't even care about their own parents.
Oh, is that right?
When I think how lonely I'll be as I grow old alone,
I feel so sad from time to time.
I don't want to become an old lady who lives alone in the future.
Don't you worry about it at all?
Well, I'll be happy if I could maintain this life I have until I die.
Oh, my. You sound like a man who lives alone in the mountain.
Still, you've thought about how nice it'd be if you were with someone, right?
No, I haven't.
Never?
Then Doo Ho, why don't you start thinking about that?
Pardon?
Ms. Dong, I have something more important to tell you.
Go ahead. What's more important?
Can I leave for the day after tidying up the kitchen, Ms. Dong?
Sure. Go ahead.
Thank you.
Gosh.
He addresses me as his boss whenever he speaks to me.
Seriously, why do I feel so uncomfortable and awkward around him?
It's frustrating.
Mom.
Just tell Kang San that his father asked you to let him get a divorce.
I was going to do that.
But I can't get myself to say that to Kang San.
Don't worry. He wouldn't get a divorce just because you tell him to.
You never know.
If I tell him I wouldn't mind,
he might change his mind and divorce her.
Well, you're right.
Whenever I hear the word "divorce,"
my heart beats like crazy. I don't know what's wrong with me.
Goodness, you. Even so, you should've told him.
He probably heard everything from his father.
Since you didn't tell him anything,
he must be disappointed in you.
- I'm back, Sang Soo. - Hey, you're back.
Is Jan Di home?
Yes, she came home just earlier. She must be in her room.
Where's Mother?
I don't know what's going on with her. She's been talking to Ye Ju for a while.
Maybe they're cooking up a ruse or something. They haven't come out.
She hasn't even made dinner yet.
My, I'm so hungry.
I'll get changed and come back.
- Okay. - Okay.
I'm coming in.
Oh, he's here.
Come on in. Ye Ju, let him sit there.
Okay.
I'm home.
Well... Did your father tell you about it?
Yes.
I was going to tell you this morning.
But I couldn't get myself to say it.
If you want to divorce Sun Ju,
you can tell me without worrying about me.
I have no intention of getting a divorce, Mother.
I said this to my father too.
Oh, do you... I mean, really?
See? What did I tell you?
He has no intention of getting a divorce.
What were you so afraid of? Why did you worry about it so much...
that you even deleted Ho Rang's text?
- Hey. - What?
What do you mean, Ye Ju? She deleted Ho Rang's text?
- Mom. - Gosh.
Mother, what is Ye Ju talking about?
Actually, Kang San... Well... The thing is...
I deleted the text message that Ho Rang sent to you.
Did you really do that?
Well, yes.
I mean, Ho Rang that wench...
blabbered nonsense saying that Sun Ju abandoned you.
I got so angry and deleted the message even before I knew it.
That's not all. You know...
She keeps lurking around you and bothers you.
Mother.
Ho Rang and I have been like siblings for many years, and you know it.
- Kang San, you may think... - But...
you two are like siblings, and nothing's going on between you.
But Ho Rang might not feel the same about you.
You got the wrong idea, Ye Ju.
Ho Rang has no romantic feelings for me.
I do trust you.
But I'm not sure about Ho Rang.
Enough. I admit that I made a mistake. All right?
You know... Since you made it clear that you didn't want...
to divorce Sun Ju, I promise I will never do anything like that again.
Okay. I understand, Mother.
Wait.
- Why? - Please try to understand Mom.
Mom said...
she did what she did without even realizing...
because she'd seen Sun Ju in her dreams and felt like she would come back.
All right. I understand.
What's with him? Did something happen between him and Mother?
Well, actually...
Ho Rang texted Kang San,
and Mom saw it first and deleted it.
What did she say?
Did she confess her love for him?
I wouldn't know.
Anyway, I think Mom was worried...
if there would be something going on between Kang San and Ho Rang.
Oh, boy. I should be careful with Mother while living with her.
Wait. Where's my phone? Oh, there it is.
I should change my passcode first.
Let me think. Okay. I'll go with 369369.
It's now 369369.
Dad, what are you doing?
Hey, Jan Di. Come on in.
Did you bring your test paper?
Well...
Dad, actually...
Yes.
Well...
I got a zero.
A zero?
Oh, my. You really got a zero.
I used to get 1 or 2 questions right by guessing.
But this time, I picked the wrong answers even when I guessed.
Dad, are you shocked?
Yes. I mean, a little.
I'm sorry, Dad. I'll do better next time.
- Jan Di. - Yes?
Despite that, I'm happy.
Although you got a zero,
I'm proud of you for mustering up the courage to show this to me.
Don't be. I don't deserve that.
Actually, I wasn't going to show you this.
I threw it out.
What? You threw it out?
Yes.
But Jun Pyo picked it up,
and Ms. Ok found out.
Ms. Ok advised me to tell you the truth.
After a long, hard thought,
I decided to show it to you.
So Ms. Ok's advice changed your mind?
Yes. I thought she was right.
Then we're done, right? I'm off.
No. Stand here.
I'm not finished yet.
What? You won't take my phone away or anything like that, right?
Don't worry. I won't do that.
But this time, I'll try to find a way...
to motivate you to study. What do you say?
I really hate studying.
Fine.
Oh, goodness.
Mi Rae, what did you talk about with President Dong earlier today?
Mi Rae, did you meet President Dong?
Well... Yes.
Then why didn't you tell me?
I just met him briefly.
Seeing that he asked you to meet him in his office,
I think he tried to pay more attention to you as his future daughter-in-law.
Am I right, Mi Rae?
Well... Jae Hyun.
Actually...
Nonsense.
He wouldn't approve of her...
when I'm against her relationship with his son.
He would rather tell her to give up on Ju Hyuk.
Oh, my. Is that the case, Mi Rae?
I guess it is.
I see why you looked so sad when you came home.
Mi Rae.
Tell me what you heard, Mi Rae.
Did President Dong say he was against your relationship with Ju Hyuk?
He said he had never been happy about our relationship.
And apparently, that's why he tried to send Ju Hyuk back to the US.
Mom, what should I do now?
Even President Dong disapproves of our relationship as well as Grandpa.
Mi Rae.
How about I talk to President Dong?
Mom.
(President Dong Kyu Chul)
Father.
(Hwang Dong Food)
I see you haven't left for the day.
Father, were you really going to tell Mi Rae?
This is our workplace. Let's talk about it at home.
Aren't you the one who asked Mi Rae to meet you in your office?
Let's talk on our way home.
No.
I won't leave until I hear your answer.
Yes.
What you think is right.
I asked Mi Rae to see me...
to tell her that her mother and I were to be engaged.
I knew it.
If she finds out that you've been using her...
to take revenge on me...
while knowing my relationship with her mother,
how would she feel?
You know why I'm doing this.
It's all because you've been desiring Ms. Hwang your entire life.
And that made Mom suffer emotionally until she passed away.
Your mom suffered from delusional jealousy.
You and your lame excuse.
I'm sick of hearing it.
Right. Maybe it's just an excuse.
It's true that I've been having feelings for Chan Ran my whole life.
Don't tell me...
you're trying to say that you truly loved her.
I truly loved her.
What did you say?
- You wanted to take over the company... - No.
I've never gotten over Chan Ran who was my first love.
And that's why I still can't give up on her.
- Father! - Let me give you a piece of advice.
Just as your mother did,
Mi Rae will realize you're faking your feelings for her soon.
And when that happens, Mi Rae won't be the only one to fall into the fiery pit.
You too will suffer.
So...
quit your foolish act now.
- No... - What is this?
She got a zero?
My gosh. You must be really upset.
It's because I'm not a good dad.
Kang San, this is why a child needs to be taken care of by a mother.
Think about Se Chan.
His mom is around him 24-7 to take care of him attentively.
That makes him feel at ease and stable, and that's why he gets good grades.
But I know...
that you're too busy making ends meet to do that for Jan Di.
That's why I'm sorry to Jan Di.
It's not your fault. Sun Ju, who left home, is to blame.
Anyway, I heard Mother went through your phone.
It's not like that. It was nothing serious.
Goodness. Last night, she talked as if she would let you...
divorce Sun Ju and move out.
But I guess she changed her mind already.
My gosh. Mother went through your phone,
and your daughter got a zero on the test.
I'm amazed how you live like this.
I really respect you.
Respect!
If you hear that your father loved another woman...
And if you hear that from your father, how would you feel?
I do know what it feels like.
My dad fell in love with another woman...
and destroyed the entire family.
Did he?
Don't you remember?
That's why I had to come back to Korea while studying abroad.
I think I heard that before.
(Ok Mi Rae)
"Ok Mi Rae?"
I don't like this name.
I'm calling you because I'm worried.
By the way, Ju Hyuk, are you still outside?
Yes, I'm with a business partner whom I've known since I was in the US.
We're discussing a business.
Oh, I see.
You see, what you told me earlier today...
That you've been struggling because of your relationship with your father.
It worries me.
I wonder if there's anything I can do...
to help you and your father resolve your issues.
Mi Rae, I appreciate your concern.
But I'm very busy right now.
Can we talk later?
Oh, my. I'm sorry, Ju Hyuk.
That's okay. Don't be sorry.
And...
I love you, Mi Rae.
I love you too.
Then good night.
Good night.
Thank you so much, Ju Hyuk.
For saying you love me.
My gosh.
I didn't know you could be so sweet.
Here.
What is this?
Don't act like you don't know what it is.
Let's go up to the room now.
Did your dad scold you harshly?
Why would you worry about that?
Jan Di. Why are you alone with him?
Ho Rang, do you like Kang San?
What? Gosh, it's too hot.
Mr. Dong, you didn't go home last night, did you?
Auntie Kyu Sun, is something going on with Ju Hyuk?
- Mi Rae. And can I ask you a favor too? - What?
Don't be afraid.
As far as I know, you would never falter.
