(Episode 65)
Marry me.
I want to be your husband.
And Ha Eun's dad.
Would you marry me?
Wait.
You see, I'm...
I know that this is too sudden.
But I've done a lot of thinking.
Please accept my proposal.
But your father disapproves of me, so how...
Then what? Are we going to break up?
No, right?
Still, this is too sudden.
Your father...
will never approve of me.
Such things don't matter if we want to be together.
I never dreamed of marrying you.
That'd be too greedy of me.
Why is it being greedy?
Marriage isn't just about the two of us, you know.
I'm sorry.
Right now, I...
I can't accept this ring at the moment.
I'm sorry.
What? He proposed to you?
Yes, Mom.
But I didn't accept the ring. I just couldn't.
Then are you going to give up on him?
Be selfish for a change. Only think about yourself.
It's not like his parents will live forever.
You two can fulfill your filial duty by living a happy life together.
I'm not sure if I can do it.
I know...
that Jae Hyuk will be under a lot of stress because of me.
They may be against your relationship now,
but they'll change their mind eventually.
As they say, no parents can win against their children.
And as you know, Ha Eun loves him so much.
She keeps talking about how she wishes he were her dad.
My heart breaks whenever I think about Ha Eun.
Mom, will his family accept her though?
And Yeon Su lives there too, you know.
Ha Eun will have to live there with Yeon Su as a family.
Gosh, I really don't think I can do it.
That really bothers me too,
but we can't worry about everything.
And you said he now knows who Ha Eun really is.
Then he'll protect her.
So Won. Only think about your own happiness, okay?
I know what you're worried about.
Yes.
I'll be honest with you. You'll be emotionally hurt...
by the people in my family.
I can't guarantee that it'll never happen.
But I can promise you this one thing.
I'll never let you suffer alone.
I'll protect you with my everything.
I'll make up for all the fatherly love...
that's been missing in Ha Eun's life.
I'll make sure she'll never be made fun of again...
by her friends for not having a father.
So please accept my proposal.
If you don't accept this ring,
I'll move back into the storage room.
I'll go back to living like I used to back in my Bigfoot days.
Will you still say no?
I need some time.
Give me a little bit of time.
(Choi Eun Hye, May 8, 1985 to November 6, 2014)
Eun Hye.
That guy proposed to me.
You remember him, right?
The guy I like.
(Choi Eun Hye, May 8, 1985 to November 6, 2014)
Eun Hye.
I know full well that a lot of hardships await,
but I just want to be with him.
I want to marry him, Eun Hye.
I can do that, right?
Where were you?
I had to go see someone,
to tell her something.
About you proposing to me.
And I also wanted to tell her that I plan to accept it.
So Won.
I love you.
I love you too.
Don't take this ring off...
even if the world falls apart.
What?
You and So Won are getting married?
Yes.
Will the chairman allow you to do that though?
It won't be easy.
But if he continues to be against it,
I'll just marry So Won regardless of what he says.
Have you told my mom yet?
I thought I should tell you first,
before I tell your mother.
Why?
Because...
you're Ha Eun's father.
I'll think of her as my own daughter and raise her well.
I'll be a good dad to her.
Can you...
really do that?
Of course.
You know I had a child too.
I'll give her all the love I couldn't give to my own baby.
And the love you couldn't give her as well.
Mother.
"Mother"?
I'll call you like that from now on.
I want to marry So Won.
I'm here to ask for your permission.
What? Does that mean So Won accepted the ring?
Yes.
You don't need to ask for my permission.
You just need to get your parents on board.
I'd like to get your permission first, Mother.
If I can have a son-in-law like you,
I'll have nothing more to wish for.
I give you my permission. By all means.
Thank you.
You see, So Won...
My daughter has been through a lot.
Please cherish her and give her a lot of love.
That's all I ask for.
Don't worry, Mother.
You're knitting? It doesn't suit you.
I heard it's good for prenatal education.
Just be kind to others.
That's the best thing for prenatal education.
I will, Mother.
What brings you here?
Come in.
You're...
We're here to get your permission.
Dad, I want to marry So Won.
What did you just say?
I'm here to get your permission.
Please allow us to get married, Dad.
My gosh, this is too sudden.
Jae Hyuk, don't you think this is wrong?
I'll keep it short. Leave with her at once.
So Won.
Sir, pardon my rudeness.
I know that this is a brazen thing to ask,
but please allow us to get married.
I love Jae Hyuk very much.
What are you doing? Get up at once!
This is ridiculous.
Min Hyuk, you need to talk him out of this.
He can't marry a woman who has a kid.
Dad, this is insane.
What about the kid, then?
Don't tell me that you expect my son to raise your kid!
I will raise her with So Won, of course.
What? What did you say?
You lunatic!
Have you completely lost your mind?
There's no way I'll let you two get married. Get out at once!
Please allow us to get married, Dad. I beg you.
Are you not taking me seriously or what?
Leave with her immediately!
Get up, So Won.
- Jae Hyuk. - I said, get up.
I begged you on my knees, but you're refusing to approve of her.
We'll just do things our way from now on.
- Let's go, So Won. - Jae Hyuk.
My gosh.
Has he completely lost his mind?
He wants to marry her?
We can't even approve of him dating her.
He'll marry her?
When did their relationship get so serious?
Did you know they were that serious?
How could Jae Hyuk be so rude to Father?
Honey.
How could Jae Hyuk do this?
He can't do this to us if he respects us as his parents.
Jae Hyuk has lost his mind because of that woman.
Look who's talking.
Gosh, how dare she.
I can't believe she thinks she can marry him.
Hwang Yeon Su, and even Choi So Won now?
Do they think our family is that easy?
Jae Hyuk is one thing, but I really can't believe Choi So Won.
Although I knew she was brazen when she blackmailed me.
Everyone in her family is like that.
They're all shameless, brazen, and greedy.
I don't like Assemblyman Jung's daughter,
but I can't stand her either.
And Song Dan Shil will be my in-law?
Gosh, my head hurts.
Mom, you know how Jae Hyuk is.
When he makes a decision, you can't stop him.
What if they actually end up getting married?
Your dad won't let that happen.
It won't happen.
From your faces, I can tell how it went.
You guys probably got kicked out.
I bet he never imagined they'd come and say they want to get married.
You gave us your permission, so we don't need anything else.
No, don't say that.
You need to get his permission even though it'll take some time.
I'm sorry.
I trust you. You said you'll take care of everything.
So Won, are you sure you can handle it?
I'm just going to trust Jae Hyuk and follow his lead.
Love is such a powerful thing, indeed.
I'll show the chairman...
that I deserve...
to be loved by Jae Hyuk.
And I'll be sure to get his permission.
Is So Won really out of her mind?
I heard Vice President Han and Choi So Won were here.
Yes, they came to ask for Father's permission to get married.
They caused a scene here.
I see.
What is that?
Oh, right. I picked this up on the way here.
It's important to eat well during pregnancy.
You got this for me?
Thank you.
I've been craving mangoes.
- Really? - Yes.
Thank you.
They look so good.
How's your dad?
He attended the meeting but canceled everything else.
He always puts work first no matter what.
I can't believe he canceled things.
He must be really shocked by what Jae Hyuk did.
I really don't understand him.
I mean, there are so many other women.
I can't believe he chose someone like her.
You think your wife is better than her?
Just leave. I have work to do.
I was about to leave anyway.
Mom, wait.
Why does Mr. Park care so much about Yeon Su?
What?
- What do you mean? - Well...
He bought mangoes for her.
Why did you do such a useless thing?
I just remembered you craving mangoes...
when you had Min Hyuk.
Why?
Do you want to act like you're her father-in-law?
Don't even dream.
Do you feel like you can do that just because Yeon Su...
gave you a tie as a gift?
What's the big deal about buying her some mangoes?
I bought you mangoes...
when you had Min Hyuk.
You did that because Tae Seok told you to.
No, he didn't.
I bought them for you because I wanted to, okay?
What?
Sir, a woman named Song Dan Shil is here to see you.
Song Dan Shil?
She said she's Ms. Choi So Won's mother.
Okay, let her in.
Hello, please have a seat.
Sir, I know this is rude, but I had to come see you.
If it's because of Jae Hyuk and So Won,
I have nothing to say to you.
Don't be like this. Please reconsider this matter.
I have two daughters.
But one died...
before she could even wear her wedding dress.
I know...
that you think my daughter isn't good enough for your son.
But they love each other very much.
You'll think differently once you get to know So Won.
I'm not saying this because she's my daughter.
She's got a heart of gold and a sound mind.
Sir, can you please approve of my daughter, So Won?
I have nothing to say.
- Please leave. - Wait.
I was rude to you a while back.
I'm sorry, sir.
I found out later on that it was a misunderstanding.
If this is because you're still angry at me...
No, it has nothing to do with that.
I won't allow them to get married.
Try putting yourself in my shoes.
I know that my son has his flaws too,
but he'll have to raise another man's child if he marries her.
Would you allow it if you were me?
All parents want the best for their own children.
Sir, please reconsider it. Please?
Mr. Jeong, come in.
Yes, sir.
Escort her out.
Yes, sir.
Get home safely.
I will no longer think of you as part of the family.
I don't want to see you ever again.
I told you to get out at once!
Get out. I said, get out.
- Leave. Get out! - My gosh.
- Mom, please! - Get out. I said, get out!
My daughter...
is paying for what I did.
Why did you have to leave me so soon?
You left me with our three kids.
How could you leave me like this?
You heartless man.
Had you been alive,
So Won wouldn't have had to put up with being treated like this.
Honey.
Help So Won, please.
You died and left us so soon,
so at least do that for her.
Mom, Mom!
It's not like your mom's dead. Why are you calling me like that?
Mom, Ms. Han told me...
that you came to Noyu earlier today.
Did you...
Yes, I went there to meet with the chairman.
Mom, why...
Mom, what happened to your eyes?
Did you cry?
No, I didn't.
Something got in my eyes.
What did he say?
Did he upset you a lot?
It doesn't look like he'll change his mind easily.
I understand though.
I disapproved of Yeon Su even though our family has nothing.
Such a wealthy family won't accept you easily.
Mom, why did you go there?
Because I'm your mother.
I can do anything for your happiness.
I can even have people hurl stones at me on the streets...
if I can make you happy by doing so.
This is nothing.
Mom.
Why did you tell Mr. Park what you were craving?
I'm your husband.
He probably thinks that I'm a terrible husband.
I'm sure he doesn't think that about you.
He's trying to look after me...
because he cares about you a lot.
In any case, don't be too nice to him.
A spoiled dog...
can bite his master.
Min Hyuk.
I know he's good to us.
But we don't know whether or not he has an ulterior motive.
I'll go wash up.
I'll make everyone a cup of coffee.
Yoon Jin, you probably want a latte. What about you, So Won?
I'm okay.
All right, then. Ms. Hwang, you want black coffee, right?
I'll pass.
That's unlike you. You love coffee.
I do,
but I probably shouldn't drink it anymore.
Are you...
Are you pregnant?
Yes.
Ms. Hwang, congratulations.
That's amazing. Congratulations.
Congratulations on what?
Ms. Hwang is pregnant.
Oh, my gosh!
Really?
Congratulations, Ms. Hwang.
The chairman must be so happy.
Yes, he is.
- I'm so envious. - Congratulations.
What? You went to meet with Tae Seok?
Do you have no shame?
How dare you go to his office?
I went there to beg him.
Hey.
Do you feel like our families are at the same level...
because Jae Hyuk is saying he wants to marry your daughter?
You need to try to stop her because she's being immature.
How could you egg them on?
They love each other. How can I stop them?
You must know because you've experienced it too.
You tried your best to stop your son but ended up giving in.
You let him marry Yeon Su.
That happened because my husband gave them his permission.
As for Jae Hyuk's case, he's against it, so it won't happen.
That's why I'm asking you for help.
He may change his mind if you try to persuade him.
Why should I?
I don't want your daughter to become my daughter-in-law too.
What's wrong with my daughter?
She's a hundred times better than that sly witch, Yeon Su.
Why are you bad-mouthing my daughter-in-law?
I can't believe how shameless you are.
Hey. In Yeon Su's case, it was just her,
whereas your daughter has a kid.
I don't want to call a stranger's daughter my grandkid.
I'll have my own grandkid soon.
What do you mean?
Yeon Su is pregnant.
What? She's pregnant?
Hwa Ran told me that Yeon Su is pregnant.
- Is it really true? - Yes.
Gosh, I'm so angry.
It's not fair.
Doesn't it make you angry?
Yeon Su hid her past,
married the chairman's son, and got pregnant.
Look at the mess you're in.
You've never even been married,
but everyone calls you shameless because you have a kid.
My blood is boiling, seriously.
Mom, please.
I'm so upset.
I feel bad for all of you guys, you, Ho Jin, and Ha Eun.
Yeon Su is doing just fine even after doing such a horrible thing.
I want to tell them everything...
but can't do that because of Ha Eun.
I'm beyond upset.
Where did my colored pencils go?
It's a letter.
"My love"?
Ha Eun.
Did you just call me?
I bought this storybook for you on my way home.
Here.
Wow, this looks fun. Thank you.
What's that in your hand?
It's a letter.
A letter?
Thank you for the book.
A letter?
So Won.
Who's that letter for?
I didn't write this letter.
Then who wrote it?
My sister wrote it for her hubby.
Your sister?
You talked about your brother-in-law when you were buying that tie.
You said it was for him.
Yes.
But I couldn't give it to him.
Why not?
I couldn't meet him.
How come...
Oh.
Did they break up?
Yes.
They'll never see each other again.
They loved each other so much.
But unfortunately, it ended like that.
Where's your sister, by the way?
How come she's never visited?
She's somewhere far away.
Somewhere far away? Where?
Well...
She died.
What?
What happened?
An accident.
It was such a crazy accident.
I don't know since when,
but it's become a taboo to talk about her at home.
Talking about her pains us so much.
That's why...
I've been living as if I forgot all about her,
even though I didn't forget her at all.
Then,
the person you wanted to tell about the marriage proposal was...
That's right.
It was my sister.
I also have a confession to make.
I told you that my fiancee is abroad at the moment.
That was a lie.
She's also...
dead.
What?
Then...
I felt the same way.
I was afraid of admitting and telling the truth.
I guess I just wanted to keep on denying the reality.
I couldn't bring myself...
to accept her death.
Then what about your baby?
The baby...
couldn't even be born.
The accident killed both the baby and my fiancee.
My gosh.
It took me so long...
to be able to tell you this. And you too.
I know.
(To: My love, 58 Jeongil-ro 3-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul)
(Choi Eun Hye)
Eun Hye.
I know this is shameless,
but I'm here to ask for your permission.
There's a woman I want to marry.
Eun Hye.
Can I have your permission to marry her?
(Choi Eun Hye, May 8, 1985 to November 6, 2014)
