This is a matter...
between me and Mr. Geum.
You guys don't have to worry.
Whatever decision we may arrive at,
I'll let you know as soon as it's sorted out.
And Sang Min.
I heard you said you'll look for a place to stay.
Don't do that.
I know you'll feel uncomfortable for the time being...
I know that all of you must be uncomfortable and uneasy,
but keep things the way they are.
Do it for your own sakes and for me and Mr. Geum.
Do as I ask. Please.
Eat up.
Eat your breakfast and go to work.
It's been two days since Father packed up and left,
but you haven't said anything yet.
I know that I'm in no position to meddle in it.
But I thought I should at least see if you were okay.
You won't actually end it just like this...
You won't do that, right?
We decided...
to take some time away from each other.
Ms. Kang.
Mr. Geum always said that he would fix...
his habit of losing his temper, but he never did.
I'm not sure if he can ever tame his temper...
No, I mean...
I don't even know if he's willing to make an effort.
I'm sorry.
I know that everyone is worried because of me.
Can you give me...
just a little more time to think?
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 51)
It looks like they need more time.
She must've been really disappointed in Father this time.
I wouldn't blame her.
Why didn't you tell me about the accident?
If we'd resolved it on our own, things wouldn't be this messy.
Honey.
What am I to you?
What kind of question is that so suddenly?
Ms. Kang seemed so distressed. Father packed up and left home.
And you got beaten up by Father again.
I couldn't seem to think clearly.
Since you seemed so depressed, I told myself...
not to say anything about it for the time being.
But the more I think about it, the angrier I become.
How could you not tell me that you got into a car accident?
Well... I was worried you might collapse again.
You were going through so much already.
So?
Did you think keeping it from me would solve everything?
Didn't you get caught every time you tried to hide something from me?
You should have told me.
You could've died. You got into an accident!
I didn't even know that.
I even nagged at you, assuming that you quit your job,
without knowing that your life was in danger the night before.
Why would you make me such a bad wife? Why?
I was just worried about you. That's all.
I didn't want you to get angry and end up collapsing again.
I bet you didn't want to be nagged.
You didn't want to hear me saying, "You should've been more careful."
What on earth...
do you take me for?
Am I just a scary person to you?
Someone you're too afraid of to tell about a serious accident?
Is that what I mean to you?
Of course not. You are my wife whom I love.
The one I love dearly and rely on.
I'm sorry...
that you're married to a man who gets hit by his father...
and asks people around him for money at this age.
I'm really sorry.
Honey, I will get a job.
I'll repay Ms. Kang as soon as I get my paycheck.
Yes, Mother.
Yes. Bye.
Mother still sounds so upset.
She said she needs more time to think in a serious tone.
I think she already made up her mind.
Are you happy now?
You ruined her birthday party...
and caused them to end their happy marriage.
Are you satisfied?
That's ridiculous. I didn't ruin the party.
It was Dad. He ruined the party.
You made him upset.
You wouldn't stop saying mean things to Geu Roo.
People like you are the worst. You clearly saw what happened,
but you're falsely accusing me to make me look bad.
That girl was being rude,
and I just defended my big brother...
who's the eldest in our family, although he's thickheaded.
Even so, you should've stopped when you caused a commotion.
But you went ahead and made the situation worse.
Whatever.
Why did she even marry him if she was going to end it easily?
This proves that she never actually loved Dad.
That makes sense.
Oh, gosh. I think you're right.
If that's true, honey, that means...
she didn't marry him for money just as you said.
You were wrong about that.
She decided not to live with a man with a nasty temper...
I mean, she decided to leave a man who hits his sons.
Doesn't it prove that she never wanted his money?
No, you're wrong. That's not the case.
Then what?
Oh, I get it. She signed the disclaimer of assets,
and I didn't seem like an easy fight.
And she found out about my dad's bad temper.
So she thought that things wouldn't go as she planned,
and decided to leave him, using what happened as an excuse.
But it's not a loss since she received so much from him.
"This is enough. He has nothing more that I can take from him."
That's why.
"It's not a loss?"
Nonsense.
Oh, my.
Director.
My goodness. When are we going to start shooting?
I can't wait to see you...
Are you trying to seduce him or what?
I heard that something bad happened in your family.
You see, both good things and bad things...
always happen at the same time.
But try to be patient. Good luck always follows the bad.
Hey, wait.
This is...
Our university is near here.
Oh, wow. I can't believe this.
I forgot how the neighborhood looked because it's been over ten years...
There... I used to drink at that bar so often.
How about we go and look around our old school?
Are we out here for fun?
We should return to the office since we finished our work.
Why do you want to go back to the office so quickly?
You'll only be depressed when you see Ji Wan.
Let's just look around for 30 minutes.
Come on. The meeting ended earlier than expected.
Let's go. I'm off.
Hurry up.
Did you call me over for this?
You have nothing else to do anyway.
Hurry up and deliver this to Heon. His essay is due today.
Stop it. He's a college student.
Are you kidding? Just e-mail him. He can print it out himself.
It's not just the essay.
It's about what he thinks about an art exhibit.
He has to submit the ticket to prove that he went to the exhibit.
Come on. Hurry up.
Hey, visiting the university will motivate you to study harder.
I was studying when you called me.
- Wait. I'll give you ten dollars. - Forget it.
Okay. 20 dollars.
Hey, 50 dollars.
Deal?
It's been such a long time.
I remember how often I drank on the grass over there.
Let's go.
All you remember is drinking.
Don't you remember anything else?
Of course I remember many other things too.
By the way, did you really not see me at school?
Even though we had different majors,
my band performed at every school festival,
and I played the lead in all the school plays.
I was quite famous in school.
Oh, my. Are you bragging about your heyday?
Gosh, I really hate it when people do that.
She hates whatever I say.
Just tell me honestly. Did you really not see me?
No, I didn't.
Even if I did, I wouldn't remember since it was a long time ago.
And you still have a crush on the same man you liked then.
Sorry.
By the way, can I ask you something?
What did you like so much about him?
When I was a freshman,
I saw him at the welcoming party for our club for the first time.
While everyone else seemed lame, making jokes,
Ji Wan was like a real senior.
He was quiet and serious.
He was thoughtful but not boastful.
He was...
so cool.
That's what girls do.
They say they like a funny man but fall for a quiet man.
A funny man can be cool too, you know.
Just like me.
- Why? - What?
I'm trying to find what makes you look cool.
Why are you hiding it? Why?
I'm not hiding anything. I always let it show. Gosh.
Seeing that you played along with my joke,
you must be dealing with it better than I thought.
I still think we ran into each other somewhere at least once.
Oh, right. There's a place I used to go to. Shall we go there?
We'll probably remember something if we go there.
Come on.
We only have 30 minutes. Let's hurry up and go.
Let's go.
Move.
Si Woon.
I'm sorry.
Hurry up!
I'm sorry.
I'm coming!
(Club Room)
I guess this is the club room where you spent time with Ji Wan.
What did you say the club was about? I remember it sounded boring.
It was about current affairs and general knowledge.
My gosh. Both you and Ji Wan are so boring.
I think another club is using this room now. Shall we go in?
Why would we go into someone else's club room?
We're not strangers. We're their seniors...
by many years.
Let's go in with confidence.
In Seo, over here!
I'm glad you found the way.
I'm not a little kid. Of course, I found the way. Here.
Thank you. I would've failed if I miss the deadline.
I have to get good grades,
so I can graduate early...
and support Min Ah and our baby.
Min Ah will get her degree too.
And she'll get a job too.
I know that. Of course, she'll be back to school.
- Im Heon. - Yes?
- Do you have pop culture class too? - Yes.
Who is he? I don't think I've seen him around.
- Oh, he's my brother-in-law. - I see.
He is my wife's younger brother.
- Oh, I see. Hello. - Hello.
- You should go without me. - Okay.
I'll join you after I have a few words with him.
Okay. See you later.
Goodbye. See you later.
Do you like her?
Why don't I hook you up with her?
Don't be ridiculous. I don't even know her.
Why? You don't have a girlfriend.
I don't go out with anybody just because I have no girlfriend.
By the way, did you tell everyone that you're married?
Of course, I did.
"I'm a married man and will become a dad soon."
I'm glad you did.
Right. Or else, Min Ah would kill you.
That's right.
Oh, right. Min Ah told me to give you a tour.
But my class is about to begin. I'm sorry.
That's okay. There's nothing to see. Go on.
Okay. Then I'll treat you next time as your brother-in-law.
He keeps reminding me that he has seniority over me.
It's not like I'm going to treat him any differently.
It really is big though.
How did all these students get into this university?
They must be happy.
Here we go
(Welcome to the pungmul club.)
It looks very different now.
Of course, it has changed. It's been a long time.
Why are you starting to look sad again?
Is being in here bringing back memories of Ji Wan from back then?
No, myself.
I feel like I'm watching my old self.
Didn't you give that to Ji Wan?
He put this in a corner of his bookshelf.
He didn't even notice that I took it out of his office.
He's a man who won't love me.
You asked me earlier...
why I liked him and still like him so much, right?
It's because I know that he'll never love me.
Maybe I liked him because I knew he would never see me that way.
That's a safe way.
It would remain as one-sided love,
and I would never have my heart broken.
As soon as he likes me back, it becomes complicated.
We see each other, argue, and hurt each other.
What I'm saying is...
that I knew it from the beginning.
So when I started to have feelings for him again like a habit...
I knew it then as well.
That Ji Wan wouldn't like me back.
Then...
Then why does it hurt?
It was one-sided love.
Nothing but one-sided love.
He gave it to me in this very room.
He gave it to me just as he gave it...
to all the other club members.
It's just that I gave it...
a special meaning.
I knew that I wasn't special to him...
and that I could never be.
I knew it so well.
I know I should change. I should give up on him now...
since everything has changed.
I decided to quit remaining the same while everyone is changing.
Stop.
Stop now.
Why don't we get going now?
Oh, my. Yi Jae is good at this.
You're so good at this old game.
It's your turn.
Mom. Please join us.
I learned how to play this game from you.
Yi Jae, it must be your dad.
Okay. I'll go get my bag.
Okay.
Now he doesn't look disappointed like this...
when his dad comes to pick him up.
Exactly.
Just a moment, please!
Hello.
I'm sorry for being late. Hi, Sol.
Hello.
Well... I don't see Yi Jae...
He's packing his bag in the room.
My mom asked me to thank you for the gift.
She's in her room right now.
Oh, I see. It's nothing great.
I wanted to give her a gift as I owe her so much.
Gosh, side dishes are no big deal.
By the way, there's something going on in my family,
so I think we will have to skip this week.
That's okay. I can do it.
By the way, did something bad happen?
Are you okay, Da Bal?
Pardon?
Yes, I'm okay. Please don't worry.
Wait. Did you have a drink?
Oh, yes, I did. I had dinner with other publishing company CEOs.
I drank just a little.
Do I smell bad?
No, it's not like that.
It looks like you had pork belly with a drink...
And pork rinds too?
- Yes, that's right. - That sounds delicious.
Mom, let's eat that too.
Okay. Shall we have some tomorrow?
Yes.
Then... Then I'll treat you guys.
You look after Yi Jae whenever I come home late.
Really? That'd be great.
Hey, Yi Jae.
- Welcome home, Dad. - Hi. Did you have fun with Sol?
Let's go home. Thank you again. Good night. Bye, Sol.
Goodbye.
Oh, please don't forget to buy us meat.
Hey, you're talking as if I never buy you meat.
- Goodbye then. - Goodbye.
- Bye, Yi Jae. - Bye.
Dad, do you know how to play cat's cradle?
I learned it today from Ms. Han and Sol.
It was fun.
Well... I think I know what it is.
Can you teach me how to play it?
Sure. Ms. Han said I'm really good at it.
I'm sorry. I lost my temper again.
But I was utterly dumbfounded.
He's almost 50 now,
but he took the money you barely saved.
And all your kids knew about it.
Also, I heard that your kids gave that money to you.
I am...
too ashamed to see you.
I did a bad job of raising my children.
I'm sorry. I'll make sure...
that it will never happen again. So please...
stop being mad at me. Please.
What's wrong with being almost 50?
If you're in that situation,
you would borrow money even if you're almost 80.
People help each other out and that's normal.
But you see,
using violence...
against your son...
who is almost 50...
is not something you can't control.
You must know how to control it.
You won't change. You can't change.
You always say you regret it,
but you just lash out whenever you get upset.
I'm sure you'll keep it that way.
That's not true.
I promise I'll never...
I am going to ponder...
whether I can keep living with you.
You will never change.
You won't even try to change...
while you're scarring your sons and hurting yourself.
I'll ponder...
whether I can endure everything by your side.
I think...
I should give it some serious thought.
Mom.
Are you all right?
Of course.
You're not fine. I can just tell by your face.
Mom... What are you going to do?
I know that Mr. Geum shouldn't have done it...
and that you must be really upset.
But we're partly responsible too. We should've hidden our feelings.
I feel like Geu Roo and I caused all this.
Talk to Mr. Geum, okay?
You said everything can be resolved through a conversation.
Mr. Geum must be really upset as well.
Okay?
Who is it?
It's me.
Oh, Mr. Geum...
We need to talk.
Go back inside.
- But... Okay. - Go on.
Can't we go inside to talk?
Let's talk here.
What brings you here in the middle of the night?
What...
What do you mean by that?
You said this is my home too.
Then why won't you let me in?
Oh, I get it. This is why...
you talked me out of selling my old house.
So you could kick me out like this whenever you want!
Sol is still up.
I don't want to scare her.
This is... This is too harsh.
I thought hard but still can't understand.
What did I do so wrong? Tell me.
You're right. I hit my sons and never hold back my temper.
That's who I am.
But I have my own reasons!
It's not like I got angry at them for no reason like a lunatic!
Do you still not know...
what you did wrong?
Can't you admit it?
Why wouldn't I know that? I know.
I do!
But it's hard to change overnight...
since I lived like this my whole life.
You knew that I was like this.
You said you knew this side of me.
You also said you didn't care.
You said you love me. Do you call this love?
You just kicked me out...
because you didn't want to see me. Is this what you call love?
Right. I get it.
This is why you insisted on paying me the rent...
to draw a clear line between public and private matters!
So you could divorce me whenever you wanted!
Father, please.
Mom, what's wrong?
Mr. Geum, are you yelling again? Now you're yelling at my mom too...
No, it's not like that. Go inside, okay?
Father.
Honey, follow him.
Mom... Oh, no.
What's wrong with Mr. Geum? Why did he come at night...
Is he always that violent?
Geu Roo, that's enough. Let's go in. Come on.
Geu Roo.
I know that my dad did wrong.
But he must've come because he was frustrated.
You shouldn't talk about your elder like that...
He didn't do anything wrong to you guys.
He may yell and hit us,
but he always tiptoes around you guys.
Honey, go back in now.
- Good night. - Good night.
Geu Roo.
I will repay the money as soon as I can.
So please don't be so mean.
What? What did I do so wrong?
I just asked you a question.
Geu Roo, you should stop it too.
I heard that you started it while preparing for the party.
You should've told me instead.
Forget it. Go on in now. Come on.
Gosh. Is this my fault?
I'm not the one who borrowed money or hit him!
Geu Roo, calm down. Let's go in.
- Let's go in for now. - Gosh. Darn it.
