(Six months ago)
How long have you been volunteering as a hairdresser?
Oh, that.
I've done it since I was young.
I wanted to help others.
But I wasn't wealthy, and I didn't have any other talent.
Don't say that.
We've always needed more hairdressers.
Thank you very much for doing this.
I'm so glad that I could help.
I actually just moved to this town.
I'm looking for a nice place to open a hair salon.
Once I do that, I'll bring more tools along with me, even those for hair perms.
Go to the second floor and apply some putty on the wall.
I'll go to the other room and finish the painting.
You don't have to work so hard. We are doing this for free.
This is all mine.
I can do whatever I want with it.
Go!
He always tries to slack off.
You are really good.
My gosh.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my.
Did you hit your head?
Oh, my. Are you okay?
You must hit your head.
Please get up.
Are you okay?
Hi.
Is anyone here?
One moment.
- Hello. - Hi.
I'll open a hair salon right next to this place.
I just wanted to ask you things about how to design it.
So you must be the one who'll use the area next door.
Oh, my goodness.
Didn't I see you at the community center?
- You were there, right? - Oh, my.
Right.
That's right.
Are you feeling okay now?
I'm fine. I said I was fine back then too.
I'm so glad.
I was worried you got hurt because of me.
I was worried if you had a concussion or something.
I was so concerned that I called the center many times.
Why are you smiling? Do you have any idea how surprised I was?
If you were feeling okay, why did you run away like that?
I didn't run away.
I never did that.
I had to run since I got a call.
I didn't run away.
I got a small bump here though.
(Be My Dream Family)
That's fate. Destiny.
They must be meant to be.
I thought they met because they work next door to each other.
They are meant to be for sure.
How could you all be here at the wedding without even hearing that story?
Father isn't the type to tell us stories in detail.
He didn't even give us enough time to ask.
He just gave us the wedding invitations last week, and said,
"I'm getting married."
That's when we found out about it.
This is so embarrassing.
They are so old and are getting remarried.
I heard other couples like them just live together and skip the whole ceremony.
I just don't understand why they had to do a wedding in a hall like this.
Hey!
Are old people not allowed to use wedding halls?
Jong Hwa paid for all expenses. Don't complain if you didn't contribute.
That's just his personality. You knew that before, right?
People like you are the reason your dad rented a hall...
to do a wedding like this.
He knew other people will be talking behind his back.
He knew people in town will make all sorts of rumors.
To prevent that, he wanted to announce his marriage to the entire world.
"Dear world, whatever you say, I got nothing to hide about this love."
He is proclaiming everyone to watch and congratulate them.
How dare you be so inconsiderate towards your dad?
Did you say "love"?
Oh, my goodness.
That stern old man is just out of his right mind at the moment.
Anyway, he needs to get himself together.
You should stop trying to make it sound romantic.
What? I'm telling you you are wrong.
- Sorry. - Hey.
I was stuck in traffic.
- I'm not late, am I? - Sang Min, you came.
The previous ceremony is still going on.
Say hello to Uncle Yeon Bok.
Hi.
You must be Sang Min. It's nice to see you.
You look exactly like your dad.
He doesn't remember me, does he?
He was too young when he saw you.
He used to work with Dad.
I heard he went back to his hometown and returned not too long ago.
He's the guy Min Ah mentioned.
I see. Hello.
Let's all have a seat. Please sit down.
- Have a seat. - Sure.
Sang Baek, where is Dad?
I think he went over to the bride's room.
I told In Seo to bring him here.
He should wear some makeup.
Would he get it done there?
Just wait. He'll come when he needs to.
Pay attention.
Listen up.
After 30 years of staying single, your dad finally will get remarried.
You need to hear about the details of your dad's love story.
It will make you say that this really is true love.
What? A love story?
Yes.
Oh, my goodness!
I was on my way home, but I say the lights here were still on.
I mean the main lights were off,
but I saw a streak of light, which made me wonder if a thief came in.
I see.
It was all fine.
I was watching a movie.
It's my favorite movie.
It's so late. Why weren't you watching it at home?
I should've.
I'll be opening the store soon.
But I wasn't sure if this place is ready for customers to come in.
I was feeling worried and excited.
So I just came here.
I see.
You've done such a great job with this place until the end.
This place looks so pretty for me to use.
I've been working a long time as a hairdresser.
But trying to start all over again in a new place...
- feels very new and different. - Right.
I took a break for three long years.
What if I make a mistake to my first customer?
What if people say bad things about Mo Ran Hair Salon?
I kept having such thoughts.
I saw you were very good.
You've never seen me style someone's hair though.
I've seen other people's hair you styled.
But what made you stop for three years?
I know it's hard for people to move to a new place for work.
I know.
I just...
Do you like movies too?
I want to return the favor.
Do you want to watch a movie? Do you want to go together?
Oh, my goodness.
- Come on. - Okay.
- This way. - Okay.
Go ahead.
I never get sick of watching "Casablanca."
The song that the performer sings as he plays the piano...
Isn't it great?
My older daughter told me this.
I heard the lyrics say,
"Although time passes, you still need love."
I heard it's something like that.
- So romantic, right? - It is.
How do you think it would feel if someone sings to you...
while playing the piano?
Would it make you feel like you are very loved?
Would it?
Are you a good singer?
Not at all.
I've never sung in my life.
I'm sure you've sung at least once.
I won't make you sing.
Don't lie though.
I wasn't lying.
I've never sung in front of anyone my entire life
I...
What?
All right. Fine. I believe you.
Well,
the sound of the wind...
is better than singing at this time of year.
I'll do it.
I'll be your first customer.
You said so last time.
You were worried that you might make a mistake...
and people would think you're a bad hairdresser.
Really?
You'll really do it?
I'll do my best.
Thank you.
Mr. Geum is so nice!
He's like Gong Yu or Park Bo Geom.
Mom, you never told us about this.
How romantic of him!
He is!
He's very romantic and sweet.
In Seo kept telling me that his grandfather is scary,
and I felt it was unfair.
In Seo, that's the kind of person your grandfather is.
He's so gentle.
Don't think of him as a scary old man, okay?
Min Ah.
Where is Min Ah? Min Ah.
Where is In Seo? I'm going to go look for him.
My stomach feels a little upset. I need to go to the bathroom.
- Oh, my stomach. - I'm feeling a bit nauseous as well.
I still have more.
You should hear the rest of it!
That's hilarious!
Father really had quite the love affair!
Then what happened?
What are you doing?
Seriously?
Who told you to come here?
Do you want to be reported for stalking?
You wouldn't answer your phone,
and you blocked me on Instagram too.
What was I supposed to do?
How did you know I was here?
Did you install an app on my phone?
No.
I asked Ji Yoon. She told me.
- I'm sorry, Min Ah. - Get up!
- What are you doing? - I'm really sorry.
- Geez! - Please forgive me.
Get up now.
Get up while I'm being nice.
Im Heon. We broke up.
I have no feelings for you anymore.
You have nothing to be sorry about!
(Mom)
- Min Ah. - Be quiet!
Yes, Mom.
I'm at the convenience store. I was hungry.
I'll go back.
Okay.
I have nothing more to say to you.
Beat it before my mom sees you.
- Min Ah, please. - Let go!
- Just this once. - Be quiet!
We're starting soon.
Isn't Mr. Geum coming?
He needs to greet the guests and all. He must be busy.
He should still see you at least once before the ceremony.
You're so nervous.
I'm not.
- I'm fine! - Whatever.
Mom, Ji Wan is here.
Oh, my.
Hello, ma'am. Congratulations.
Oh, CEO Choi.
You must be busy. You shouldn't have.
Hello.
Sol, this is the boss of the company where Geu Roo and Ga Eun work.
Say hello.
Nice to meet you. I'm Min Sol.
Please take good care of my aunts.
Hello. I'm Choi Ji Wan.
You've met me before.
You saw me in college with Geu Roo, and I saw you at work too.
Take a seat, please.
We can talk later.
Why are they doing that?
Won't anyone stop them?
What? It must be the happiest day of their lives.
One day, Min Ah and In Seo will have their own special day.
Just the thought of walking Min Ah down the aisle...
Don't worry. I won't let Min Ah get married.
Why not?
What's wrong with Min Ah?
She's perfect.
She's smart, kind, and pretty.
Why would she need to get married?
I'm going to let her live free as the wind.
Gosh. That's not something you can decide.
You've had her under your control until now,
but she's all grown up and going to Seoul National University.
She would bring one home from there.
You don't know your daughter.
Min Ah has never been interested in boys.
All she cares about is school.
You don't know your daughter at all.
Right, you said you were looking for a place. Did you find one?
Oh, not yet.
That's great!
The people on the second floor of our building are moving out.
It's close to the office, and there are three rooms.
It's perfect, isn't it?
You can carpool with my daughters and save on gas money too.
- What do you think? - You should move in!
Grandma will bring you side dishes too.
You can't find a place that's this close and has a good rent.
I'll come by some time, then.
He's not here? Why isn't he here?
I know. Where is he? The guests are starting to arrive.
He's not even answering his phone.
He didn't come to Mrs. Kang's waiting room either.
- He's not in the bathroom. - What?
What's going on?
Has he come back to his senses?
What are you saying?
No one has seen him here.
Don't you get it?
He came to his senses once he saw the place!
"What am I doing?"
In Seo is listening.
In Seo, go look around by the emergency exits.
- Okay. - Go.
He wouldn't do that.
Are you saying he ran away?
Who would know Dad better? Me or you?
He's gone, I'm telling you!
I knew it! My dreams last night...
Stop it with your dreams.
Let's go look for him.
I'm serious! Where is he?
Go look for him! Hurry!
What a mess you've made, Dad.
Why do you like fishing?
Do you want to hear a secret?
Yes. I want to hear it.
Tell me.
I don't really like fishing.
I'm just running away.
I thought that people who would sit here...
and gaze at the bobber had nothing better to do.
I only came to try fishing after my wife passed away.
I went right back to work as soon as the funeral was over.
I was really busy back then.
I would to go to work in the countryside and come back after a month or two.
One day, I went back home...
and I saw my kids, who were so young, sitting together and eating ramyeon.
When they saw me, they stood right up and greeted me.
They...
couldn't look at me.
It made me...
so angry.
Why did I get mad?
They had lost their mother.
"Are you all right? You miss Mom, don't you?
I couldn't even say that to them.
What right did I have...
to get angry?
I just left again.
I was afraid I'd hit them again.
That was the kind of person I was.
When I was frustrated, I threw things and broke things.
That's the only way I knew how to show my feelings.
I kept driving without a destination and found a reservoir.
It was a fishing spot.
A few people...
were sitting around,
and it was so quiet.
There was so much turmoil inside of me,
but it was quiet there.
Mo Ran.
I...
I get scared easily.
When my wife passed away,
my kids started avoiding me.
I lost what was precious to me one by one.
I've become a timid man.
But...
I feel afraid again.
I'm scared...
of...
losing you.
I've finally become happy again.
This might disappear again one day.
I'm scared of that.
I know I'm selfish.
And I know I'm greedy.
But...
I'm scared.
So I'd like to stay by your side from now on.
Can...
I stay by your side?
Hang on a second. Should I move my car?
Soon, this place is going to get crowded.
Geez, do you honestly want Dad to have run away?
Hey, I don't want that to happen. It already happened.
"What do I think I'm doing with all these people here?"
"Why would I get married at this age? I'll only get ripped off."
He got back to his senses.
Seriously.
Hey, you should go and tell her.
About what?
She needs to save face, won't she? How long is she going to keep this up?
- Come on. - Forget it.
Dad!
My grandma is a hairdresser.
She's also known as a hair designer, but she likes to be called a hairdresser.
She says she makes people dress their hair, face, and heart up.
And my grandpa is a person who dresses up the house.
Roofs, walls, and floors become beautiful with his touch.
When our family first moved to this neighborhood,
- Grandma visited people... - Mo Ran.
Who wanted to have their hair done but couldn't come.
- Mo Ran. - She went over...
- I'm listening. - To their house...
- and met him for the first time. - Is something wrong?
- Are you nervous? - From then on, he'd always been with her.
- Nothing's wrong. - So my grandma became happier.
- Something's probably wrong with you. - When I first met Grandpa,
- If you didn't want to come here, - I was scared of him.
- But I realized he makes Grandma happy. - It's not too late.
- Please tell me. - I've come...
- Pardon? - To like him.
Grandpa, who has become our family now,
- What are you talking about? - I'd like to welcome you.
- I hope both of you are happy together. - I heard what your sons were saying.
From your granddaughter, Sol.
- I heard you ran away. - Thank you.
Next, someone will sing for them.
Who's going to sing?
Well...
Jong Hwa.
Dad.
It's not your turn yet.
So...
I...
was at the rooftop not long ago...
and practiced there alone.
But I really couldn't sing.
But still,
I'll try.
I still have sadness in me
It's lingering within me
If I reminisce that day,
the fog fades away
My heart travels the empty night
Where should I go?
I'm lost in the darkness
I wander around in the maze of loneliness
Who will join me
and cry with me?
Who will join me
and be my warm companion?
I want to love you
until my empty heart is filled
I want to love you
until the day my love exists
I'm sorry.
Bravo.
I'm not leaving until you forgive me.
I'm determined today.
If you go home now, I won't be able to see you again.
You won't let me see you!
Hold on.
Then...
Then take a look at this at least.
It's from the bottom of my heart.
Are you insane?
I've changed.
You ignored me when I needed you the most, and now you've changed?
Not me.
I haven't changed my mind and I'll keep it that way.
Min Ah.
If you follow me again...
and my mom sees you,
I will never see you again.
You got that?
What about the baby then?
What about our baby?
