You're tired, aren't you? I wish we hadn't eaten all together.
We couldn't have a welcome party for Si Woon.
We had to at least have dinner with him. We don't do that often.
He's working with us temporarily. A welcome party isn't necessary.
That doesn't matter. He works hard and gets his job done well.
Oh, right. Have you scheduled a meeting with Writer Kim Mi Gyeong?
Yes, I'll meet her next week.
Hey...
Oh, did you select the awardees of this month's writing contest?
What? Oh, yes. Yes, I did. I finished it earlier today.
I'll contact them tomorrow.
Good. Thank you.
Oh, I forgot. About the book reading event...
Ji Wan, please. We're not at work anymore.
Oh, right. You're right. I'm sorry.
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 26)
Well...
I'll move out. I'll move out soon.
That's not it. Wait.
You say that whenever I talk to you.
I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable.
It's not like we'll live together forever.
And my mom asked me to get along well with you.
I accepted you as my family, so don't make me look weird.
I understand.
You can use the bathroom first.
This is what I was going to say.
Oh, I see.
Why would he tiptoe around me when I said nothing?
I'm the one who should be worrying about what he thinks.
Choi Ji Wan, why won't you worry about what I think?
Or at least figure out how I feel.
I left when he left to spend some time alone with him.
I'm so upset.
Thank you for looking after him until such a late hour.
Don't say that. This is what I'm paid for.
Well... By the way, Mr. Choi...
I can't stop worrying.
Oh, about what?
It's about Yi Jae. Being quiet is good.
But he's too quiet.
I have babysat many different children,
but I've never seen a boy at his age as quiet as him.
Oh, I see.
Seeing that he laughs a little and has so much fun...
when Sol and her mother come over,
I don't think he has any problems. It's just a personality issue.
He has no issues. It's not like that.
He's just a little introverted.
Of course. Don't take offense to what I said.
I'm just worried about him.
I'm sure you know how he feels better than anyone else as his dad.
All right then. I'll get going now.
Your mom won't call you.
Don't wait for her call.
I don't know what to do...
if you just keep waiting for her.
He wanted to show off his ability to the people on earth too,
so he sprinkled it from the sky...
Sol, are you sleeping?
Yes. I'm sleepy. I'll sleep now.
Why? It just got interesting.
Tell me the rest tomorrow. I'm so sleepy.
Okay.
Sleep well, my dear daughter.
Hi, Da Bal.
Sol... Ouch.
Sol is sleeping. Are you okay?
Goodness, you. I heard you'd have a work get-together. You're early.
Geu Roo came home a while ago. Why didn't you come with her?
I had to stay longer since I'm a newbie.
Still, I would've come later if it hadn't been for Mr. Hyun.
You stayed longer just because you're a newbie?
Does that manager on your team still give you a hard time?
- I'll teach him a lesson. - No.
I chose to stay longer...
because I wanted to get to know my senior colleagues better.
It's good to make an effort to do well,
but don't get intimidated. That makes me upset.
Okay.
Oh, no. I came as early as possible to see Sol.
But she already fell asleep.
She looks most adorable when she's sleeping, right?
Yes.
I must say,
she's becoming like Byung Yeon.
Does your brother still appear in your dreams these days?
No. I rarely see him in my dreams now.
He used to appear in my dreams...
and told me to be good to Ms. Kang...
and to get along well with you and Geu Roo.
But he rarely appears in my dreams now.
I guess Sol's dad doesn't worry about you anymore.
Because he knows that his only sister is doing well.
I'm sure that's why he doesn't appear in your dreams anymore.
Thank you.
If it hadn't been for Ms. Kang, Geu Roo, and you,
I wouldn't have been able to go on with my life...
since I lost both of my parents and my only brother.
Thank you.
- Ga Eun, you should stop saying... - I know.
I know, I know.
"Of course, we live together because we're family."
"Stop saying that you're grateful to us."
I know you would say this.
By the way, Da Bal,
you can meet a good guy just as Ms. Kang did.
If you're hesitating because of me, never... Ouch.
Why would you get drunk and say such nonsense?
Listen. My mom, Geu Roo, Sol, and you...
My family is all I need. I don't need anyone else.
Stop acting weird and come out to eat some ramyeon.
Right now? I'm not hungry.
To prevent a hangover.
Hurry up and come out. I'll cook two servings.
Cook three servings.
As you wish.
My dear Sol.
I'll do everything that your dad would do for you.
I'll become a book designer as soon as possible...
I'll become a cool person...
so that I can give you everything you need and want.
Sang Baek.
Hey, honey.
Gosh. What's this?
Did you pick them up on the ground?
You have a briefcase. Why didn't you put them in it?
How could I put the sausages in my briefcase?
Carrying a briefcase doesn't make me an office worker.
What's with you? Why are you getting so upset?
Don't ask.
I got humiliated when I went to the supermarket.
I agreed to be on the show hoping that I could get a job,
but I only let everyone know that I'm jobless.
"You look healthy and strong. Why won't you get a job?"
"It was written that you're looking for a job."
"Why would a jobless man wear a suit?"
Everyone who recognized me said things like this.
Gosh. You shouldn't have been on that show.
You should never get involved in Min Hee's business.
We all are suffering damages.
It's not like we can file a damage claim.
What happened to you?
Ki Yoo Young.
She probably got mad as I grabbed her son by the collar.
She appointed Ms. Kim as the head of the center.
What?
I didn't think she could be like that. She's so petty.
Was it retaliation? Isn't it a power trip?
You didn't think she was like that? She's always been like that.
I was counting on Mr. Park.
But he got upset and changed his mind about helping me out...
because our clinic couldn't be on the show as I promised.
I lost all my chances.
What do we do? What should we do?
What do you mean? You know what to do.
It really is time for you to get a job. Do you understand?
Please get a job.
Please. I'm begging you.
All right. I'll get a job.
I'll do it.
- I'll get a job. - I don't believe you.
Can't you see even after seeing me holding out at your house?
Can't you see how sincere I am?
Is it that hard to believe?
That doesn't show your sincerity.
You came to my house because you got kicked out of yours.
Gosh, this is driving me nuts.
I wish I could show you my heart.
Then prove it.
Prove that you really love me,
that you will never leave me again,
and that you're capable of taking care of me and our baby.
I'll do anything to prove it.
What do you want me to do? What should I do?
Do you even know how to raise a baby?
Did you learn anything about it?
What?
Yes. Of course... Of course, I did.
I didn't do as well as you in school,
but I'm quite smart, you know. Of course, I learned about it.
You did? Then what would you do if the baby cries?
If the baby cries?
Then I can hold it in my arms.
What if it doesn't stop crying?
Then...
Is it hungry? I can give it some food to eat.
A newborn baby can't eat solid food.
What I mean is...
Was it... Was it milk?
Or formula? Anyway, I would feed the baby.
What if it poops?
What?
What would you do? Answer me.
What would you do if the baby poops?
Do you know how to change diapers?
I don't think I can do that.
Can't you do just that?
See? This is why I can't trust you.
You said you would do anything just 30 seconds ago.
But you can't even clean your baby after it poops?
You want me to do that?
You know...
that I have mild mysophobia.
It's all my mom's fault.
She told me not to go near anything that's not clean when I was little.
She spoiled me.
I was spoiled too.
My mom didn't let me do anything.
She did everything for me.
Nevertheless, I'm ready to change my baby's diapers.
But clearly, you're not.
You don't deserve to be a father.
I'll do everything except for that. I promise.
I'll do everything else.
What are you going to do?
Be more specific.
Tell me what kind of job you'll get and how you'll do that.
I mean, just tell me your plan.
I'm going to submit my resume to different companies...
and ask my friends a favor.
I see. But that hasn't worked out until now.
Listen, Sang Baek.
Do you know what they call...
a person who does the same thing and expect things to change?
One in the early stages of a mental illness.
You can't expect different results from the same process.
Honey.
That's too mean. How could you say such a thing?
It's not me. Albert Einstein said it.
He was a genius for a reason.
It's absolutely true.
If you repeat doing the same thing, you'll be jobless forever.
Why bother talking to you?
I bet you'll give up after trying a few times.
Forget it.
I should find a job at another clinic.
I can't stand working with Ki Yoo Young anymore.
Right. I'll move to another clinic even if it's far away...
No.
I'll make it work this time.
I'll really make it work this time.
I'm all words?
That's not true.
I begged you on my knees.
I tried to rent a studio apartment although you didn't let me.
And I bought you a designer bag too.
That doesn't prove anything.
What makes your knees so special?
You should be on your knees if you did something wrong.
Also, you have a lot of money.
You spent just a little of what you have more than enough.
How can that prove your sincerity?
You have to give up on something that's important to you.
Something that's important to me?
You're the most important thing in my life.
Hey, are you kidding me?
I gave up on my life.
That would do.
Give up on your life as I did. Then I'll trust you.
Oh, right. Since I can't go to university,
you drop out of university too.
What? But my mom already paid my tuition.
Hang on.
You applied for a leave of absence.
Why should I drop out?
I'm... I'm asking you if you love me enough to give up on that.
Are you saying that you can't give up on anything you have now?
No. I'll give up.
But I can't drop out of university.
I should graduate from university as soon as possible...
and get a job at a large company to make good money...
so that I can support you and our baby.
Would it be okay if I don't graduate from university? Are you sure?
Gosh. I do need you to have a job.
Then I'll think of something else.
Shave your head.
What? Geum Min Ah. How can you tell a man to shave his head?
You know I wouldn't look good without my hair.
Why? Is there anyone else you want to impress other than me?
No. That's not the reason.
The most important thing to you is your hair.
If you shave it all off, I'll believe your sincerity.
I knew it.
That's just how much you love me.
Never call me.
You don't deserve to do it. You heard me?
In Young Hye.
I won't be a pathetic husband anymore.
Geum Min Ah, I'll make you trust me this time.
You'll see my sincerity.
There was a golden egg...
in the conception dream for me, the eldest son of the Geum family.
As I have a brilliant spirit just as the conception dream showed,
my father favored me over my brothers.
Stop asking questions. You wouldn't even understand.
Gosh. Shut it.
Hey, Geum Sang Baek, you punk.
I know that you have no job and do nothing,
but how can you be so ignorant?
I was spoiled? Me?
My two younger brothers were also inspired by my charisma.
They've been looking up to me as their role model,
and they're living a good life.
My wife whom I first met in high school...
still respects and loves me.
She's still as supportive as she was before.
You're overreacting again.
Gosh, seriously!
Dad, I want some water.
- My children respect me. - Whatever!
I'm the head of my family who all my family can trust.
You don't want me to be kicked out of our house, do you?
Although I'm not rich,
I can tell you that I'm the happiest man in the world.
Likewise, I, Geum Sang Baek, am well respected by...
my family members who are the closest people to me.
And now I'd like to go back out in the world...
and use my abilities to contribute to society.
The strong heart.
Years of work experience.
The icon of a sense of responsibility and determination.
Geum as in "gold!" Geum Sang Baek!
Gosh, Dad. Are you still working on your cover letter?
If you give me any task,
I will get it done perfectly no matter what!
Good. Start working tomorrow.
I'm so proud of you.
My son, since you've been studying in the US for a while,
your English improved greatly.
Good, good. Very good. Excellent.
Who called my son stupid?
He's so smart.
Wait. Hold on a second.
In Hyeok, speak Korean from now on...
when you speak to me.
So? Did you watch the show I appeared on?
You didn't watch it?
I know you've been busy.
But I was on that show. Don't you want to see me on it?
I miss you so much that I...
Money?
Why are you asking for money again?
I sent you some not long ago.
Did you spend it all already?
I don't have any money, you know.
Your dad will throw a fit if he finds out.
What do you mean by that?
What would I throw a fit about?
- What? It's nothing... - You're talking to In Hyeok, right?
- Give me the phone. Give it to me. - No...
Hey, did you cause trouble again?
Gosh, you punk. We sent you to such a bad college...
that anybody can get into with enough money...
because you failed to get admission to any colleges in Korea.
Hey, come back to Korea if you'll keep this up.
Come back and enlist in the military.
Hello... Hello?
Oh, my.
How dare he hang up while his father is talking?
- Call him back. - Gosh. What's wrong with you?
I barely got to talk to him on the phone.
He only answers maybe 1 out of 10 calls.
Why would you have to lick his boots?
He's your son, not the king of the world.
That stupid punk.
He should be grateful to his parents.
Mind your own business!
Are you good to your father?
Of course, I am. He should treat me just as I treat my dad.
You'd better not send him more money again.
I won't give you any money, even for the living expenses. Okay?
Move.
He's such a cheapskate.
I'm making money too.
I'll get paid soon for the online ad...
that I filmed the other day.
Why is she calling me again?
Yes, Mother.
Why are you calling me so early in the morning?
A signing event?
My goodness. Why do you keep...
Yes, Mother, I'll do it.
I said, I'll do it.
Okay. Thank you.
I'll prepare everything properly.
Okay.
Then I'll see you that day.
Will Min Hee really hold a signing event at your shop?
Of course, she will. She made a promise to me.
She said she'll keep her promise no matter what.
She's not that kind of person.
She always makes an empty promise without thinking hard.
Oh, my goodness.
Have some faith in your children.
"You won't succeed anyway."
If you say that, who would even try hard to do well?
"He won't praise me whatever I do."
"I'll just forget it." That's how people would think.
The same goes for me.
When my customers say, "I trust you. You're a great hairstylist",
it motivates me to do even better.
I don't want to let them down.
You feel the same way, right?
I feel happy when my customers are satisfied with my work too.
That's exactly my point.
If none other than your own parents...
believe in you and compliment you,
it would cheer you up incredibly.
Even if you had a really bad day,
if you come home and eat a hearty meal...
while being loved by your parents and siblings,
you'd think, "It's nothing. I'll face it head-on tomorrow."
"I have people who believe in me." It gives you courage.
Family members should always look after each other...
and tell one another how adorable and precious they are...
Of course. You're absolutely right.
I was too talkative again, right? I'm sorry.
No. I don't mind. Those things you say to me...
sound like music to my ears however long you go on.
I was so lucky to find you.
What if the kids see us again?
Even Sol caught us too. Everyone in this house did.
This is normal for a newlywed couple. Don't worry.
I'm off to work.
My back hurts.
- Is your back okay? - Yes.
- Oh, dear. - See you guys later.
- See you. Have a nice day. - You too.
It wasn't over, I guess.
Oh, dear. It's so hard to hold his hand.
Young Hye must have left for work.
Then I'll send her a message...
that can cheer her up.
I hope that all good things will seep into your day like sunlight,
and all bad things will be blown away in the wind.
Min Hee will hold a signing event at my shop today.
It'd be nice if you could stop by during your lunch break.
Stay cheerful as always. Go for it.
"It'd be nice if you could stop by."
Why didn't she just order me to come?
She always confuses me.
How can I be cheerful when there's nothing to cheer me up?
"Go for it", my foot.
Hey, Ms. Choi, have you talked to the director?
I have too much work experience?
I wouldn't be paid much more than the ones with less experience.
It's a contract position where you don't get a raise often.
I can't be paid as much as an inexperienced employee.
What about other clinics? Do they want an inexperienced employee too?
Oh, I see.
Anyway, thank you.
Okay. I'll call you again soon.
Bye.
Gosh, In Young Hye. Your whole life was a waste.
I've aged so much, and I can't find another job.
Does it make sense that you don't know where she is?
During working hours?
Why did you step out for so long?
Oh, I had to take a phone call.
But why...
Do you always step out for a personal phone call like this?
I won't allow it.
You must not use your mobile phone while working.
And when you have to leave for more than five minutes,
tell your colleagues the exact reason.
Hey.
"Hey?" Did you just call me that?
I mean, Dr. Ki, I understand what you're trying to say.
But it's not like I always slack off. It's just this one time.
Don't you think you're nitpicking too much about it?
What if it takes 10 minutes to do my business in the restroom?
Must I report that too every single time?
"Report?"
Don't add what I didn't say.
I'm saying that you guys should at least tell one another...
why you have to step out and how long you'll be gone.
I just came because we got a complaint from a patient.
And you're in charge of the patient. But no one knew where you were.
Do you think this is reasonable?
Come to my office with the patient's medical chart.
I didn't know where you were.
I said I didn't know where you were because I didn't know.
Do even you have to be this way too?
I can't stand this anymore.
Even though I haven't found another job yet,
I'm going to quit working here.
I guess you finally made up your mind.
That's your resignation, right?
Give it to me. I'll accept it.
But you have to sort out the problem you caused today.
Bring the chart.
Are you a bully? Are you a lowlife?
What? What did you say?
Ki Yoo Young. I thought you'd keep personal matters from work.
Regardless of the issues related to our children or our past,
I expected you to be professional.
But you made a fool out of me using the promotion...
because your first love chose me over you.
And you gave the position to someone else in retaliation.
As if you were waiting for it,
you said, "I guess you finally made up your mind."
"I'll accept it."
You were determined to give me a hard time to make me resign.
In Young Hye, watch your words.
You're the one who brought your resignation.
No, I won't submit it. Why would I?
I won't let you kick me out.
That will never happen.
I won't give in to someone who threatens to fire others...
just like you.
Never.
Fine. Try all you want.
Let's see who lasts longer and who's more desperate.
Let's see how this ends.
(Be My Dream Family)
