Mom, did you just... Kim Young Woo?
Did you send money to this person just now?
How do you think I found out? This account is under my name.
Da Bal, Ga Eun, and I put our savings together...
and gave it to you as your wedding gift.
So I get a notification whenever a transaction is made.
You sent it by mistake, right?
Is it a phone scam?
Did they say someone got hurt in an accident...
and that you must send money right away?
That's why you sent it, right? You got scammed, right?
What? No. It's not a scam.
I sent the money.
Who is this person? Why did you send such a big amount?
Mom, I can cancel this transfer if it's suspicious.
What is going on?
Well, it's...
I borrowed money from the person a while back.
I didn't have enough money when I was opening my hair salon.
But the person suddenly asked me to pay it all back in a lump sum.
Don't cancel it.
Really?
Mom, if you needed money,
why did you ask someone else, not us?
Okay, all right. I just wanted to make sure.
Okay.
We'll be home late. We're out for dinner together.
Right.
Okay, I'll see you later.
She actually sent the money?
Yes, she had to pay back the money she had borrowed to open her salon.
Gosh, I was so worried.
Mr. Gu said his mother fell for a phone scam recently,
so I thought the same thing happened.
Right. I'm relieved that's not the case,
but I wonder why she didn't tell us.
We should give her more for her daily expenses, right?
Yes, we should. Let's do that.
Your daughters and Ga Eun gave you the money as a gift,
but you spent it to help me out.
I'm sorry. I even made you lie on top of that.
Right, I could've just told her the truth.
She told me not to send the money...
as if she was watching me.
So I was just thrown off.
You did it to save me from embarrassment.
I'm sorry.
Why do you keep saying sorry? Don't worry about it.
I'm lending you my money.
Call the person now and tell him to check.
We need to sort this out quickly so you can be relieved.
Thank you so much.
I'll work hard so I can pay you back soon.
You don't need to pay me back soon. Take your time, okay?
Gosh, my goodness.
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 43)
Mom, what brings you here so early?
I knew you'd be home alone looking all depressed.
I'll get right to the point.
Now that Heon's married, you should start afresh too.
They're both doctors.
One is a widower,
and the other one is divorced but doesn't have kids.
- They're both good catches. - Mom.
Are you hesitant because of Heon's father, that jerk?
You still haven't come to your senses?
Don't even call yourself my daughter if you're still hung up on him.
Soon, you can only meet old men whom you'd have to look after.
Just go and sit there for 30 minutes.
I can no longer trust your taste in men.
You must date the guys that I choose.
I'll decide on the place and let you know.
One more thing.
Don't sit in your son's empty room looking all lonely.
Heon is no longer your child.
He's that girl's husband now.
You're still young.
Do you think you'll turn 60 and 70 soon?
Do you think you have lived enough?
No, you're only 45.
You can't stay single without your child and husband...
for the rest of your life.
Why should you? You don't lack anything!
I'm sure you can find someone who'd fall head over heels for you.
Not philandering jerks like Heon's father.
Meet a nice, caring man and live your life.
Please!
Please live like that.
Okay?
The ones on duty, clean the classroom.
As for the restroom, number 43. That's all for today.
Attention.
Bow.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
- You, come to the teachers' office. - Yes, sir.
- Block him! - Nice.
- Nice! - My gosh!
- That was so cool! - It was really cool!
- Wasn't that so awesome? - I know.
Sang Gu, they're okay with us shooting the drama here.
We can go to the admin office and nail down the schedule.
Right. I am old-fashioned, aren't I?
What? What do you mean?
The memories of your first love remain forever, but that's it.
The love itself can never last.
It's too late,
and it is old-fashioned to be hung up on it.
Oh, the script? Yes, I told you.
Just keep it cool and simple. That's the way to go.
Right. No matter how miserable your life is,
you shouldn't live in your memories.
Forget it. This place won't work.
- Let's go somewhere else. - What?
Why? I did all that work to get their permission.
It won't look good.
Go cancel it and bring the car around.
Okay.
Why does she keep calling me? Goodness.
What is it?
No, I still have a lot to do. I'll be home tomorrow morning.
What? Am I having an affair?
Goodness gracious.
I'm busting my butt to scout locations right now.
What are you talking about?
I have to go!
Gosh, he always hangs up on me like this.
Right. I can talk to him because I'm very patient.
But who'd want to put up with this rude jerk?
My gosh.
Director Maeng? It is you!
I thought you went on a vacation after the drama.
You're back already?
Hi, Min Hee. Yes, I took a short vacation.
What brings you here?
Oh, the radio show!
It won't start until later.
I wanted to come early so I can go through the script...
and speak with the writers and the producer.
You know how passionate I am.
I sure do. You give your best no matter what you do.
I've been enjoying the show. The feedback's been good, right?
Don't get me started. I can go on about how amazing it's been.
All the listeners are saying I'm like a breath of fresh air.
I act out each line...
when I read the stories from the listeners,
Everyone says it's so engaging.
They're like, "You're such a great actress."
"How come you don't have your next drama lined up yet?"
- Such comments are pouring in. - Oh, my.
I guess you'll start preparing for your next drama soon.
Please let me know if you have a role for me, okay?
I'm actually helping out Woo Jin this time...
You know Director Park, right?
I'm directing his Team B to help him out.
He practically begged me for help.
Really?
Are there any roles that I can play?
Well, everything's already set. The filming begins next week.
Oh, really? Okay then.
But if anything comes up even halfway through,
let me know, okay? Promise.
"Min Hee, I ran into the trainee teacher"
"that I had a crush on back in high school."
"I'm all grown up now."
"Do you think I can make a move on him?"
"I can't really muster up the courage."
My gosh, you're so cute.
Just do it. You have to.
You'll stay single if he says no. But you two could become a couple!
Give it a shot!
"Give it a shot!"
What are you doing?
- You scared me. - My gosh.
I'm sorry.
I was listening to Min Hee's radio show.
Sol's grandma told us to check it out and text Min Hee.
But Geu Roo and Da Bal didn't want to listen to it,
so I wanted to check it out briefly and text Min Hee.
I see, Min Hee's radio show.
I haven't listened to it yet.
It's so good.
She tells the listeners, "Give it a shot!"
It lifted my spirits.
She's always full of energy.
Wait, is she a sister-in-law to you as well?
I mean, you two are in-laws.
Is that how it works?
No, I don't think so.
Considering the age gap, "sister" wouldn't be right.
But I wasn't sure how else to address her,
so Sol's grandma told me to call her like Geu Roo and Da Bal do.
Does it bother you?
No, not at all.
Should I address her more politely? Like "Ma'am"?
And you, "Sir"?
- Mr. In-law? - What?
I don't care what you call me.
Considering the age gap, "sister" and "brother" aren't right.
Wouldn't "uncle" and "aunt" be better?
Uncle Sang Gu and Aunt Min Hee?
- Yes. - Then are you Little Uncle?
Why drag me into this? Just keep calling me the way you do now.
We should get back to work, or Mr. Lee will yell at us again.
Right. I was going to listen to this for just five minutes.
Little Uncle, thanks for coming to get me.
Hey, don't call me like that.
You can take it if you'd like.
Pardon me? No, it's okay.
Mr. Geum has helped me out so much, but he says no...
every time I try to give him a gift.
You're his grandson, so I want to give you something as a gift.
You can take it. It's really okay.
Are you sure?
Thank you.
You made this, right?
- Yes. - It's so nice.
This is cool.
Hello, are you done for the day?
No, not yet.
I came to get changed because I'm meeting someone.
Where are you off to? Heading out to study?
Well...
I want to go back to the place where I picked up the cabinet.
The woodworking workshop.
What? Why do you need to go back?
Well...
The thing is, you told me yesterday...
that you take after your father.
Both you and my great-grandfather were carpenters,
which means I probably have the talent as well.
To be honest, I'm not sure if I have the talent. Maybe I don't.
But I think it'll be fun.
I want to try making things.
So you'll quit if you try it out and find it not fun?
Will you say it's boring and give up?
You have to study. Do you have that much time to spare?
No, I am studying. I'll just do it as a hobby.
I've never felt this way about anything else.
But this, I actually want to try.
I want to learn.
For the first time in my life, I actually want to learn something.
May I learn it?
Hello, Ms. Ham. It's me.
My grandson wants to learn woodwork from you.
He needs to study, so not for too long.
Teach him whenever he drops by.
I'll pay for the lessons.
Don't be stingy with the materials.
Right, I know you'll take great care of him.
Okay, thank you.
My goodness.
I'm surprised that one of the kids actually takes after me.
- This is the jelutong. - "Jelutong".
This wood is easy to handle even for total beginners.
This is a chisel, and this is a carving knife.
Because of this metal piece on the chisel,
you can strike it with a mallet like this.
- Because of that metal piece. - Right.
To prevent slipping and to work more easily...
when you're using the mallet or carving,
always make sure the piece is placed on this worktable.
- Okay. - Watch.
Place the chisel on the wood. With the mallet...
- See? You can carve it easily. - Yes.
Carve it like this, and let's try to make it round.
- Give it a try. - Okay.
- Place it like this. - Yes.
My gosh, it's been so long.
I should hurry.
Wow, this looks amazing.
This is so good. Seriously, it's the best.
It's really delicious.
Gosh, you should eat too. Dig in.
You're doing this again. Okay.
Since you gave it to me...
It's so good. I'm going to eat two bowls of rice.
This is my favorite.
I'll get going now.
I'll see you again soon.
I'll visit you again.
Oh, right. Please make sure you eat well.
You have to take good care of yourself even without me, okay?
Grandma...
Honey.
You should eat something.
Did we do the right thing?
Should we have talked her out of it?
They'll be back from their honeymoon tomorrow.
Why say this now?
What's the matter? You were fine when we were sending them off.
Yoo Young won't leave Min Ah alone.
She'll pick on her like crazy.
Even if her son married someone rich,
she'd pick on her because she only cares about her son.
But Min Ah is my daughter. She hates me,
so she'll be very mean to Min Ah.
She'd better not be mean to Min Ah.
If she picks on her, I'll go teach her a lesson.
She won't just pick on her. She'll insult her.
She acts like she's elegant and understanding,
but she'll suddenly say things like, "Your family is poor."
She'll belittle Min Ah as she did with me.
She'll put up a front and pretend to be a friend.
I didn't have to deal with her, so I managed to get over it...
and forget about it.
But in Min Ah's case, she's her mother-in-law.
I can't tell her to pretend she doesn't have a mother-in-law.
What do we do?
You ignored me when I said we should talk her out of it.
Don't worry. I'll deal with it.
She'd better not even glare at Min Ah. I won't let it slide.
Oh, right.
Why aren't you going to work? Did you already quit?
What? Oh, no. I didn't quit.
I've been feeling under the weather,
so I just want to take a few days off.
Goodness, figures.
I was surprised you were keeping the job for a while this time.
Forget it. Don't work at night. We'll spend more on hospital bills.
Just stay home.
Right, I did spend more on my hospital bills.
How did she know?
Where did you go
What are you doing here?
Ta-da. Look.
What's that?
Ji Wan gave me this when we were leaving the office.
The other day, I said in passing...
that I wanted to read Kang Bo Reum's newest book.
And he remembered it.
He gave me this and said he picked it up...
on his way back to the office.
You were waiting out here to show me this?
Well, I wasn't really waiting for you.
You left work right on the dot,
so I didn't have a chance to tell you.
Where were you?
What? I had a date with a beautiful lady.
Sure, of course.
Anyway, you were right after all.
Whether he sees me just as a friend or not,
the fact that he remembers what I said means he is fond of me.
If he likes me as a person,
it means he can develop feelings for me, right?
That's right. I told you many times.
My goodness. Are you that excited he gave you a book?
You work for a publishing firm, after all.
You said I should be hopeful.
Yes, it's better to be hopeful.
Don't suddenly tell me that you can't do this...
and that you're giving up.
Trust your Cupid's coaching and just follow my advice.
Got it?
Yes, will do. I'll do as you say.
What was that just now?
You said you couldn't stand girls who act all cutesy.
What are you talking about? When was I...
You always have to pick on me when I'm trying to be nice to you.
Gosh, seriously.
Don't storm off like that. Wait.
Seeing you smile is nice. I was just telling you to smile...
My goodness.
I guess she really likes him a lot.
Does she like him that much?
I'm home!
Oh, you're home. Just a moment.
- Hello. - Da Bal, what brings you by?
I wanted to talk to Mr. Choi about something.
I see. I'll leave you to it, then.
Sol told me about it.
You see, kids can be like that.
They get scared and cry when they're asked to speak in class.
He's such an introvert.
I wonder if he has problems.
Gosh, that is not the case at all.
He moved to a new neighborhood and has to make new friends.
He just needs some time to adjust.
Did the teacher say anything else?
No, that's all I heard.
The teacher said maybe her tone was too forceful.
She apologized to me.
But I don't think that is the case.
Right, it looks like the teacher is very attentive.
We have to visit their school soon and meet other parents as well.
You can meet the teacher then...
and hear more details about how Yi Jae is at school.
I'll tell Sol to pay more attention to him as well.
But they're so close and hang out together all the time anyway.
Yi Jae seems so cheerful when he's with you and Sol.
But he still barely talks when he's with me.
I don't know what to do.
Mr. Choi, have you ever played with him?
Oh, I'm not trying to lecture you on how you should raise him.
He's cheerful when he's with me and Sol...
because we just play together.
We go on the swings at the playground,
play games while reading seek-and-find books together,
play rock-paper-scissors, and give each other penalties.
And we also play the games you see on TV.
So of course, it's fun and exciting.
And because he's excited, he opens up and becomes chatty.
"Chatty"?
Yi Jae?
Right. But I guess Sol and I are the chatty ones.
But he talks quite a bit when he's with us.
He loves trains, you know. He knows a lot about them.
He knows how many cars there are in certain trains, how they move,
and why some trains are fast.
He's an expert.
Really?
I'm his dad,
but you know a lot more about Yi Jae than I do.
No. Of course, you know him better than I do.
What I'm saying is, Yi Jae and I talked about those things.
Don't be discouraged.
Try playing with him first.
You can't force him to talk, you know.
It'll happen naturally once you play with him.
Right?
- You're leaving? - Yes.
- See you on our jog. - Okay.
Mr. Choi.
- You can do it. - Thank you.
- Get some rest. - Bye.
What did you two talk about? It seemed pretty serious.
We talked about Yi Jae.
His teacher called.
The teacher asked him to speak during class,
and he cried.
Really?
There are always some kids like that in class, you know.
The shy ones.
So? Did Da Bal give you advice?
Yes. I feel better now that I've told her about the situation.
She gave me a lot of great advice.
I didn't know Da Bal had this side.
She looks like a kid when she's goofing around, right?
Hold on.
You opened up to her and told her what's stressing you out?
Well, I'm not sure if I can say I opened up to her but...
I guess so, because we're both parents.
She has such a warm heart.
Oh, I should go talk to Yi Jae.
Okay.
Gosh, don't worry.
Da Bal is a warm person. Yes, she has a warm heart.
She is warmhearted, but...
What is this situation?
Why do I keep getting a bad feeling?
I feel like there's a huge rock sitting on my chest.
Don't tell me...
No way. That can't be.
Yi Jae, can we have...
a quick talk?
You were playing with trains.
Uncle Si Woon bought you this, right?
He must be happy that you like the toy he bought you.
Yi Jae, at school today...
I totally get it.
When my teachers asked me to speak in front of the class,
I couldn't say anything because I wasn't expecting it.
I'm not trying to scold you.
I used to love trains too.
That's why when you were young...
I mean, when you were little.
We took a train trip together.
It was fun.
You were fascinated by everything.
"What is this? What is that?"
You asked me many questions.
The lunch we had was very good too.
Was it rolled omelet? You finished yours...
and asked for mine too.
No.
What?
It wasn't rolled omelet.
It was ham.
The round ones.
Really?
You remember?
Do you remember that trip?
Yes.
We went to the beach too.
Right, we did.
We went to that beach. I'm sure we still have photos from that trip.
Did we put them in your album?
Shall we look at them together?
Ji Wan, what are you doing?
I'm looking at photos of Yi Jae from when he was little.
How cute.
I guess the talk with Yi Jae went well.
Are the two of you finally starting to get along?
Hold on. Then we should celebrate.
- How about a beer? - Sure, I'll have one.
Nice. Good call. Let's have some beer.
I met you among the countless people
Hey, are you singing?
Are you singing right now?
What?
Yes.
Isn't it the song...
Da Bal sang at Min Ah's wedding?
Oh, it's a nice song.
I keep humming it these days.
My, the good old days.
(Be My Dream Family)
