Goodness. Forget it, okay?
And I guess he thinks of me as his mom, not his mother-in-law.
I think he wants to keep living in my house with his in-laws.
Isn't that your son-in-law?
What? Who? Kang San?
Oh, my.
Where should we sit?
Well, let's see.
Kang San!
Mother!
What...
My eyes are deceiving me, right?
Why are you holding hands with Jan Di's teacher?
Well...
What...
I'm asking you what's going on.
Why are you bothering to ask?
It's obvious that he got caught while on a date with this young lady.
Is what she's saying true?
Yes, ma'am.
Have a seat. I'll explain everything.
My goodness.
No. With Ms. Ok?
My goodness. How humiliating.
I don't need to hear any more of this. My gosh.
Ms. Ma. Wait for me!
Mother.
I shouldn't have said we should wait to tell our families.
What are we going to do?
Well...
Don't worry. It was something that I had to go through anyway.
You should go to Jan Di's grandmother.
I'm so sorry, Mi Rae. I should get going.
- Ye Ju. - Yes?
Where is everyone? Why is it just us three?
Jan Di went to meet a friend,
and Mom went out to meet with the owner of the tteokbokki restaurant.
I don't know where Kang San is though.
Kang San's been coming home late these days.
Kang San is very busy, so don't worry about him.
Why? Is something going on with him?
Of course. It's a really good thing too.
Just wait.
Just hear me out, Mother.
"Mother?"
You lied to your entire family...
and dated Jan Di's teacher in secret.
How could you call me "Mother?"
Mother, it's not like that.
What do you mean, "It's not like that?"
I saw you holding her hand...
with my own two eyes!
Mom, what are you talking about?
What do you mean Kang San is dating Jan Di's teacher?
I don't know. Why don't you ask your brother-in-law yourself?
Is this true?
Kang San. Is Mother talking about Ok Mi Rae?
That's it.
I was excited when I heard my son was dating a wealthy girl,
but she's the granddaughter of the Hwang Dong Food family?
Gosh. You caught a big fish!
You're definitely Geum Sun Dal's son.
We're definitely related.
No way!
Did you know this too?
I didn't know. I had a hunch.
Gosh. How could you lie to me like this?
I was planning on telling you when the time was right.
"When the time was right?" When?
Look here, Ms. Ma.
He knew you'd get upset,
so he couldn't tell you.
Plus, my son is completely single now.
Is him dating someone something his ex-wife's mother should get upset about?
My gosh. I guess you're right.
I'm a nobody that has nothing to do with this.
- My goodness. - Mother.
- Mother! - Mom!
What on earth is all of this?
I can't believe Kang San and Mi Rae are dating!
Why can't you believe it?
Korea is an equal rights nation where all its citizens are the same.
Gosh, all right. You're right.
This is quite shocking,
but Kang San's incredible.
How did he end up with the granddaughter of the Hwang Dong Food family?
Listen here, Ye Ju. It's not the time to marvel.
If her family finds out,
my work life will be over.
How could you only worry about yourself in this situation?
I know. He only cares about himself.
Will you support Kang San?
Listen here, sir. This isn't that simple.
Her family's so well off.
That's why I'm saying this is amazing!
I knew my son had it in him. Of course.
Mother.
We're not just dating for fun.
We're being cautious, and we're serious about each other.
Can you give us the benefit of the doubt?
Ms. Ok...
Mi Rae is a really good person.
Do you think I don't know that Mi Rae is a good person?
I wouldn't be against this relationship if you were alone.
But we have to think about Jan Di.
She's a lot younger than you,
and she grew up sheltered in the arms of a wealthy family.
How will she handle Jan Di?
Mi Rae cares about Jan Di more than anyone else.
That's because she's her teacher.
My gosh.
Ms. Ma. Why are you getting ahead of yourself?
My son is dating someone for the first time in ten years.
Why are you bringing up his kid already?
The fact that they're serious about each other...
means they're thinking about getting married.
Gosh. Getting remarried is nothing. He can just do it.
Also, why won't she be able to handle Jan Di?
She could get a nanny and a personal tutor.
A wealthy family can cover all those expenses.
- Father, it's not like that... - Be quiet.
My goodness.
Do you think you can raise a child by spending a lot of money?
It's not like she just has money.
You said it yourself. She has good character.
What? Well, I did say that, but...
Let's be honest here.
If Jan Di ends up with a wealthy stepmother,
she won't have to live a poor life.
She can study abroad like everyone else...
and do whatever she wants.
Isn't it mutually beneficial?
Why are you being so quiet all of a sudden?
Father, that's enough.
Hey. We have mouths to speak our minds.
Ms. Ma. You don't think I know what you're thinking?
You're throwing a tantrum...
because you're afraid you'll lose your son-in-law and grandchild to them!
What?
- Seriously? You... - Father, that's enough. Let's go.
Let's go! Get some rest, Mother.
I said, let's go.
She went too much.
Lose them? Me?
- My gosh! - Gosh.
Goodness!
My gosh.
I'm home.
Are you just getting home now?
Yes, Mom.
Why the long face? Did something happen?
Nothing happened.
How's Jun Pyo? Is he feeling better?
I heard Jan Di came and talked to him.
Turns out Jun Pyo is completely defenseless in front of Jan Di.
He got right up at Jan Di's command,
and he even promised to go to school.
I was so grateful to Mr. Geum and Jan Di.
That's good.
Mom...
What do you think about Mr. Geum?
Why are you asking me that?
He's such a great person.
Seeing a young person like him raise his child alone...
is very impressive, but also sad.
I hope he meets someone nice soon.
Right?
But getting remarried isn't easy.
Why?
There's his situation, and he has a child.
Plus, I heard he lives with his mother-in-law.
It seems like he's like a son to her.
What kind of woman would like a man like that?
I wouldn't want a son-in-law like that.
No, I would never accept that.
Okay.
Mi Rae, are you just getting home?
Yes. You're home early.
Yes. Mi Rae, do you want to have a beer with me?
Jae Hyun, what do you think about Mr. Geum?
Mr. Geum? Why do you ask?
It's nothing.
Auntie Ye Ju, I'm home.
Hey, Geum Jan Di. Things are a complete mess at home,
so why did you come so late?
I went to karaoke with Hye Ri.
Why? Did something happen?
Well... Your dad and Ms. Ok...
No, never mind.
Did the family find out the two of them are dating?
What? Did you know already?
Yes.
Grandma must be so mad.
Wait, hold on. How long did you know?
Gosh, Auntie Ye Ju. Is that important right now?
I guess you're right.
My goodness. My dear sweetie pie.
You had such a hard time with the whole Ho Rang situation.
I can only imagine how hard this was for you.
I said I was okay.
Grandma.
I saw Dad with Ms. Ok,
and I've never seen him smile so big.
What? Really?
Yes.
Dad looked really happy.
And I want Dad to always be that happy.
He must've talked you into saying this.
Did your dad tell you to persuade me?
It's really not like that.
Gosh, my head. Go on out.
My gosh.
Okay.
Goodness.
Gosh.
Goodness.
Welcome home, my in-law. You worked until so late.
"In-law?"
I heard my son is dating your daughter.
Does the entire family know?
Yes. Kang San's mother-in-law threw a huge fit about it.
But you don't need to worry about it.
If Kang San gets remarried,
his relationship with that family will end.
All that matters...
is that you and I are on the same page since we'll be real in-laws.
Let's set a date for the two families to get together.
"Set a date?" Forget it.
Oh, right. This isn't the time for this.
I should go visit the chairman.
Where does he live?
Can you please do nothing?
That family doesn't know yet.
Really? They don't know yet?
If things go south for them because of you,
I won't stay still.
Why are you being so scary?
I understand.
I do.
Go wash up.
It's not too late.
Break up with Mi Rae.
Sang Soo.
Things won't work out between you two.
Besides the fact that Mother is against it,
do you think the chairman will allow it?
A man like him, who only cares about profit,
would accept a grandson-in-law like you, who has nothing?
Plus, she may be Ms. Hwang's adopted daughter,
but she cherishes Ms. Ok like her biological child.
She wouldn't stay still and allow someone like you to get involved with her.
Even still,
I can't break up with Mi Rae.
Gosh, this is insane.
I'm not saying this for my benefit.
Do you really think she loves you?
After she was hurt by Mr. Dong...
and found out about her biological father,
I heard you helped her out.
I'm sure she was just leaning on you because she was struggling.
Mi Rae...
isn't so weak that she'd lean on someone and mask that as love.
And every time I had a hard time, it was her that helped me.
Right. Let's say that's true.
But the feelings she has for you are definitely not love.
Then what is it?
It's sympathy.
Imagine how much pity someone as kind as her felt for you...
while watching how much you struggled raising a child on your own.
She's mistaking sympathy for love!
How long do you think she can last with that sympathy?
With Mother causing a scene,
and her family opposing you two when they find out,
she'll cut ties with you right away.
Don't do something so futile.
Please just come to your senses!
Even if that's how it ends up.
I don't have any regrets.
As long as Mi Rae needs me,
I'll be by her side.
You must really be in love with Mi Rae.
You're in trouble.
Goodness.
(Hong Do's Side Dishes)
I finished mopping the floors.
Mother! It's heavy.
- Let me do it. - Goodness!
I don't need your help.
Why would you come to the store when you're so excited...
about marrying into a rich family?
Just go to work.
Mother.
I won't put the family aside just because I'm dating Mi Rae.
So don't worry.
My gosh.
You refuse to say that you'll break up with her.
Mother.
So you're here because of that?
I'm sure you're not too happy...
about Kang San being your daughter's partner.
It seems like the chairman's family doesn't know yet,
so before anything worse happens,
we should step up and break them up.
I have decided to accept Kang San and my daughter's relationship.
They really do cherish and like each other a lot.
What?
How could you say something so crazy too?
My goodness.
Mother! Why would you come to him? Let's go.
Gosh, let go of me.
Do you think I'm doing this because I don't want you to start anew?
Then?
Do you think a family as powerful as the Hwang Dong Food group would accept you?
Just imagining how much they'll look down on you and treat you poorly...
makes my blood boil.
I refuse to see you and Jan Di being treated like nuisances.
Mother.
So break up with that teacher...
before you guys fall deeper for each other.
I'm sorry, Mother.
No matter what happens, I can't give up on Mi Rae.
What are you all talking about?
Ms. Dong.
Kyu Sun.
Mr. Geum, what do you mean you can't give up on Mi Rae?
Are you two dating?
Well, Ms. Dong...
Now that Ms. Dong knows...
it's only a matter of time before the whole neighborhood finds out.
What?
Forget it! Don't worry about it.
My goodness.
Goodbye, Ms. Ma.
Mr. Geum.
You're dating Mi Rae. Right?
Well, the thing is...
Mr. Geum, you should go. I'll talk to her.
Mi Rae.
Oh, my. Did you just get here?
Yes. I guess you didn't leave yet.
I can go a little late today.
Oh, right. I made this for you.
Thank you.
Drink up.
Before Soo Ji sees.
Okay.
This is really refreshing.
How is Jan Di's grandmother?
You said she was okay over the phone,
but honestly, I was really worried.
Mother will need some time.
But don't you think...
we should tell your family that we're together?
I was going to tell my mom about what happened yesterday, but I couldn't.
Can you wait a little longer?
Sure.
What a blatant thief.
How dare he go after Mi Rae?
By the way,
if Mi Rae wants to introduce him to the family,
they must be serious.
What am I going to do about this?
Sir. Have some sujeonggwa and nuts.
No, take it away.
Is there something else you'd like to have?
What about a refreshing watermelon juice?
I said I don't want anything!
Get out!
Yes, sir.
(Horang Art Academy)
I'm just saying this for your benefit.
Now that Ms. Ma knows about you two,
you should prepare yourself.
For what, Ms. Jang?
Did you already forget?
Ms. Ma shouted and threw money at me,
and she even grabbed my hair.
Oh, right.
Right. You have to be careful with his father too.
Oh, that's right. He'll ask for money and borrow your credit card.
I'm worried for you.
Oh, my!
Goodness. The house is a real mansion.
Kang San is going to become the grandson-in-law of such a rich family?
Goodness. Is this a dream?
Hold on. Since I'm here,
should I show my face to the in-laws?
Who are you and why are you standing in front of my house?
It's been a while. Do you remember me?
Aren't you Jan Di's grandfather? What are you doing here?
I had some business near here, so I was passing by.
Don't you know what kind of neighborhood this is?
What business would you have here?
Are you looking down on me and saying...
I have no business in a rich area like this?
No, I'm just giving you some advice,
so you don't get into any trouble by wandering around here.
What are you saying? My son will move into the area soon.
How will Mr. Geum move here?
Kang San and the chairman's granddaughter...
Father!
How did you know I was here?
Jan Di called and told me you were coming.
Why are you acting like this?
What did I do? I came here on my own.
Excuse me.
Can you finish what you were saying?
So what about Mr. Geum and Mi Rae?
It's nothing.
I meant Ms. Ok is Jan Di's teacher,
so the two of them know each other.
Gosh, it's hot. It's really hot out, so just go inside.
Father.
What were you thinking coming all the way here?
Want me to be honest?
I just came to see...
how well off your in-laws were.
Father. If you cause any inconvenience to Mi Rae in any way,
I'll cut ties with you.
Now that you're successful,
you're saying you'd cut ties with your father,
like a man leaving his wife.
That's not what I'm saying!
I get it.
I'll stay quiet.
Goodness.
Ms. Ok.
You might think I'm getting ahead of myself by saying this,
but Kang San is a single dad with a child.
But you're a young, beautiful daughter of a wealthy family,
and you're second to none.
Why are you dating my son-in-law of all people?
You should meet someone better. Okay?
I understand what you're worried about,
but I really like Kang San.
You might like him now,
but getting married is a completely different issue.
Do you think you can live the rest of your life...
being called a stepmother?
Geum Jan Di. Aren't you hungry?
Do you want to get tteokbokki since class is over?
Forget it. I'm not in the mood for that.
Why? Did something happen?
You don't have to know.
I'm thirsty. I should get some water.
Geum Jan Di.
Even if you act like this, I won't give up on you.
Look here, Ms. Ok.
You're the apple of your mother's eye,
and I'm sure she raised you with unconditional love.
If she finds out that you're dating a man who's not good enough for you,
imagine how sad she would feel.
Okay. I'll take it that you understand what I'm saying...
and get going now. Okay?
Goodbye, ma'am.
Okay. Please do this for me.
Grandma.
Goodness. If you're done with class, let's go home together.
No, my class isn't over yet. You should go home first.
What? Really? Okay, then.
I'll get going.
I'll see you at home.
Okay!
Ms. Ok.
She said all of that because she doesn't know what a good person you are yet.
What?
You and my dad really like each other.
Be strong!
Thank you, Jan Di.
You can do it!
Ju Hyuk,
do you not keep in touch with Mi Rae?
I don't.
Why do you ask?
They say time heals all wounds.
Don't you think Mi Rae has calmed down by now?
Reach out to her.
Don't get any ideas, Father.
I'm completely over her now.
Who knows? Mi Rae might want to get back with you.
Gosh, Kyu Chul. He already missed his shot.
He missed his shot? What do you mean?
Mi Rae has a boyfriend.
You'll both be surprised if you find out who he is.
Who is it?
Jan Di's dad.
What? Mi Rae is dating Geum Kang San?
Yes. I was so surprised.
Does the chairman's family know?
It doesn't seem like they do.
If they find out, they'll be outraged.
I'm worried about Mi Rae.
I hurt her too,
but what if she gets hurt more because of Geum Kang San?
You're right. Things won't be easy with Jan Di's dad.
What do you mean?
What's wrong with Mi Rae?
- I'm not sure if I should tell you this. - What?
Mi Rae and my son...
both have puppy faces, and they look so good together.
Why do you keep trying to connect my daughter and Mr. Geum?
- I don't appreciate it at all. - Chan Ran.
- Mother. We're in trouble. - What?
Please stop Kang San.
Kang San, is something wrong?
Mother, today...
