You're so persistent.
I do know that Sang Gu is cranky and prickly.
I also know that he ruined the family meeting...
with his thoughtless words.
But he has his own reasons for acting like that.
He loves his late mother so dearly...
as if he has no love left to give to any other people.
Did he write this himself?
Yes. He wrote it all by himself.
In order to convince you and the author,
he explained in detail...
why he needs to use that book in his drama.
The story of the lead character in the book who misses her mother...
is just like the life of the lead character of his drama.
He meets the female lead because of that book.
So I guess it's natural for them to want to use it in this drama.
Above all,
he can relate to the story as if it's his own story.
He didn't say anything like that.
He just demanded to use it without any explanation.
I'm sure he did.
He wrote this with a lot of effort,
but maybe he was embarrassed that he wrote about his mother.
He couldn't even give it to you. He was just holding on to it.
That's why I decided to step up.
Hello. This is Han Geu Roo.
Well... So the drama I told you about last time...
The director sent us a letter of request.
Would you like to read it?
(Be My Dream Family)
- Good morning. - Aren't you guys going to work?
Why wouldn't we? Sit down for a minute.
- Sit down. - Okay.
We wanted to give you this yesterday but it seems like you got home late.
Yes, my friends came to the gym. We had a nice, long chat.
- Why? - Ta-da. Here's a gift for you.
- What is this? - Open it.
Wear them when you go out on a date.
Geu Roo paid for them.
What? What's with you guys? I told you it's just an act.
It's not a date.
Come on. You eat with him...
and then have tea with him. That sounds like a date.
Anyway, whatever it is, you said you'll see him again today.
Wear these and look pretty, okay?
You never know how things might turn out.
Ga Eun.
Gosh. I'm not going overboard.
Make sure to wear them, okay?
- I'll wash up first. - Okay.
Han Da Bal, good luck. Go for it.
Look at her.
And she thinks she's not going overboard?
I know that you're doing this for Mom's sake.
But you're the one who's going overboard.
It's not that Mom wants you to get remarried right now.
Do whatever your heart says no matter what. Okay?
Okay. Look who's talking.
How about you? Are you seeing anyone?
And what if I am?
Who is he?
Oh, I don't know.
There must be someone in this vast universe...
who will steal my heart one day.
"The universe?" Isn't there anyone in this country?
How pretty.
Right. There's nothing wrong about thinking that she's pretty.
Yes, she looked pretty for a moment. That's a fact. So what?
Does it matter?
If a girl looks pretty, does it mean I like her?
Then I must have a crush on Han Geu Roo...
Do I like her?
Look. How would I feel if I really liked her?
My heart would be fluttering.
I'd feel like there is a spring breeze in the air...
and everything would feel different now.
But...
Is my heart fluttering now?
I'm attractive, right? I feel so bad for this stray cat.
I'll follow your instructions.
She's funny. Right.
Ms. Han is funny. She's a very interesting person.
But she doesn't make my heart flutter.
Never. There's nothing like that.
- Uncle Si Woon, breakfast is ready. - Yes?
Okay.
It looks good.
- Where's Yi Jae? - He went to the bathroom.
I see. All right. Let's eat.
Okay.
What was that? Are you trying to make me laugh or what?
I know, right?
- Hey, Si Woon. - Yes?
Do people still go on blind dates with the premise of marriage?
A blind date? Why are you asking that?
Oh, I get it. Well, some people do that.
Is that so? I see.
It just popped into my head. That's all.
Let's eat.
But isn't that kind of blind date just a formality?
Actually, I've met someone because my sisters nagged me.
Gosh, it was suffocating.
Even an extrovert like me was intimidated by the mood.
I barely spoke to my date.
Really?
Ji Wan.
Well... How about you set your own standards?
I mean, if you're confused about your own feelings...
Oh, right. Draw a line like this.
Then when things go beyond the line,
you'll know that your thoughts on that matter are right or wrong.
I see.
What's with that clueless look?
Come on, CEO Choi. You're a businessman.
Don't you always make important decisions?
You could understand it easily if you think about it.
Do I have to make some sort of decision?
The human brain really is a mystery.
Even your outstanding intelligence doesn't help in this matter.
Just eat for now.
There will come a day when you finally get what I said.
I feel like I was looked down on for some reason.
What? I would never do that. You know how much I respect you.
Here. Have some meat too.
Do you want some more?
Will you really not eat?
Heon.
Why are you still in bed?
Dad, Heon doesn't want to eat.
- What? - I have no appetite.
Why do you seem so down?
- Min Ah, go on and eat. - Okay.
Heon, come out for breakfast, okay?
I know that skipping one meal is not a big deal.
But if you refuse to eat while looking all pouty,
you make us worry.
I told you to make Min Ah and Young Hye feel at ease.
Acting like a baby won't work in this house.
I'm sorry.
But I really don't want to eat anything.
I don't know.
He's been depressed since he visited his mother yesterday.
He won't even tell me why.
He said he's too sad to say anything.
I thought that punk was always carefree.
- Does he get depressed too? - Hey!
He has seniority over you unlike how he seems.
How could you call him a punk?
I'm sorry.
But we're the same age.
I don't want to treat him like he's an elder.
Mom, what's wrong with you?
What do you mean by "unlike how he seems?"
Gosh. I don't mean anything by it.
Anyway, don't you know why he's sad?
Did he fight with his mother?
If that were the case, he would seem angry.
But he's just depressed.
It's hard enough to keep my children in a good mood.
And now I have to worry about how my son-in-law feels.
Hey, did something happen between you and Heon yesterday?
What? Why? Did he say something?
No, he wouldn't say anything.
He seemed so downcast.
(We treat our patients with the utmost care and sincerity.)
Did you drink again?
Gosh, no.
Just a little. I was upset.
Oh, no. You have a problem.
It looks like you drink so often since you're alone at home.
Shouldn't you get treated for it?
Hey, I'm a doctor.
You deal with physical injuries. The mental...
No. That's something we should discuss later.
So, what happened between you and Heon?
What's the matter?
He sided with his dad without knowing how I felt.
He used to resent me for abandoning his dad.
He did it again last night.
What?
How could he resent you while knowing what his dad did?
Heon doesn't know.
How can I tell my own son...
about all the details?
But still, I thought he should know why his parents got divorced.
So I lied that his dad cheated on me just once.
Then that was it.
But it turns out that that jerk told the kid a lie.
"I wasn't cheating on her."
"I had no choice because she doubted me so much."
That scum.
Gosh, he's the worst. What a terrible man.
Just tell Heon the truth. He's not a little kid anymore.
Of course, I wanted to tell him the truth so much.
But what good would it do?
He already resents me.
I don't want to make him hate his dad...
whom he likes more than me.
He's a soft-hearted kid.
He needs someone to rely on.
I feel much better now.
By the way, Dad, what happened to your face?
Oh, this? I cut myself while shaving.
Anyway...
Why are you sad?
Did you do something wrong to Mom again?
Why does she hate you again?
Well...
The thing is...
I... Well...
Right. Now that you're an adult and married,
I'll be honest with you.
You see, I...
I met a friend. Just a friend.
A female friend.
And your mom saw me with her and got the wrong idea again.
She thought that I was meeting my girlfriend.
Is she really not your girlfriend?
Of course not.
You know that your mom is the only one for me.
But your mom just hates that.
She was deeply in love with me, you know.
She doesn't want me to even speak to another woman.
You're right. Mom is such a jealous person.
She gets jealous even when I look after Min Ah.
Right. Women can be like that. We should understand.
Anyway, it's true that your mom got the wrong idea,
but it's also true that I did wrong by her.
I wasn't considerate of her feelings.
I'm sorry, son.
You have nothing to apologize for.
Don't worry. I'll win back her heart.
We're supposed to let our child see us loving each other. Gosh.
I'm always sorry to you, Heon.
You know how I feel, right?
Yes.
Good.
(Staff Lounge)
What's that? How embarrassing. Didn't it startle you?
I tried it just as you always startle me.
That's it, right? You have fun when you're with me.
That's all, right?
Sorry?
Let's shake hands. It's good to see you.
You do know that you act weird sometimes, right?
This isn't against the rule on physical touch in our contract.
It's just a handshake.
We did this with the writer at the meeting earlier.
It's just like that.
Right. My, it's so nice to see you, Mr. Hyun Si Woon.
I knew it. It's peaceful as I expected.
Okay.
Thank you. I'll treat you later.
Okay. Bye.
- Mr. Geum. - Yes?
Why? What is it?
Would you like another coloring job as a contractor?
After I heard what you said yesterday,
I asked my friends who work as designers...
if there's a vacant position at their companies.
You didn't have to do that. That's not necessary.
You said that you couldn't hold an exhibition right away...
because it will cost you a fortune.
Then you will have to find a part-time job after this.
Wouldn't it be nice to prepare for your exhibition...
while working in this field?
No, that's okay. I'm really fine.
I'm already looking for a part-time job.
Thank you for your consideration,
but I'll figure it out.
Come on. It's a simple job...
Oh, I see it.
The bruise is almost gone, but it's still there.
Gosh, Geum Sang Gu and that temper of his.
It's okay. His punch wasn't that strong anyway.
Really?
Don't get me wrong. I'm not badmouthing him. It's true.
Anyway, I'm sorry you got hit because of me.
He got jealous because of the herbal medicine.
Since I bought more expensive medicine for you,
he got mad.
Really? Was the one you gave me better than his?
Of course. You're my favorite director.
But really, we do live in an impure world.
We just care about each other as a director and an actress,
but as if there's something going on between us...
There really are some people who think that way.
I got so upset when I first heard it.
But then I realized...
that people always spread weird rumors...
whenever they see a man and a woman together.
Since I'm an actress, it happened to me so many times.
Right. Of course, I know that.
But whatever people say, we have a clear conscience.
I don't have time to worry about what others think.
I just want to repay you...
since you gave me a part and you make me look good on screen.
By the way, it's a shame you asked me to dinner,
but you have to work suddenly.
Of course, the shoot comes first.
We can eat some other time.
Didn't you ask me to eat with you because you had something to say?
- Well, yes. I'll tell you later. - Okay.
You should hurry up and go. Woo Jin just went to the set.
Oh, okay. I'll get going.
Oh, by the way, I liked the way we shot that scene.
What's wrong with Jin Hyuk?
Why would he want to shoot the scene again?
Oh, my. I'll get going now. See you again soon.
I'm sorry again. Good luck.
Thank you. Good luck to you too.
I feel so bad.
Hey, Woo Jin.
I couldn't tell her.
I don't have feelings for her. Why would you think that way?
Min Hee and I are just colleagues...
and we just share something like pure friendship.
Anyway, about her acting style...
You tell her as the main director. Stop asking me to tell her.
If you can't do it, just leave her be.
She'll probably learn something when she watches it on TV.
All right then. Good luck with the shoot.
Okay.
She's a married woman.
How would I call myself a human if I actually had feelings for her?
And she's Geum Sang Gu's wife at that.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message...
Min Hee, I'm sending you a text since you seem busy.
Call me when you get this.
There. I'm here.
- Ms. Kang. - Are you leaving now?
Yes, I'm going to meet Sang Gu for the second round.
I'll do my best.
Say, "I am peaceful. I won't get angry."
I won't get angry.
Don't worry.
And ask him if things are okay between him and Min Hee too.
Why? I thought the two of them were happy together.
- What's the matter? - Nothing.
You said you didn't know what to talk about with your sons.
Ask them if everything is okay at home and work.
You can start the conversation with such questions.
If he vents to you, be a good listener.
Sure. I'll do that. I'll get going.
- Okay. - See you later.
- Bye.
(Moran Hair)
It's too early for dinner.
I said we should just have some tea.
It doesn't have to be a meal.
I'm hungry.
Are you copying me? Are you making fun of me?
I do that all the time because the air in Seoul is bad.
- You see... - You see...
- Please go ahead. - Go ahead.
- How is your life going? - What?
You're here to talk about that. So go ahead and let it all out.
How are things going?
How's work?
When will your drama air?
I asked when your drama premieres.
Did you prepare questions to ask?
It'll premiere in summer.
We've been making arrangements and meeting the actors.
We're preparing to shoot it but the script is the problem.
The writer keeps whining and complaining.
I told the actor to play the lead role to lose weight,
but he showed up with a swollen face after drinking.
And the assistant director pouts whenever I give him work to do.
Gosh, I don't like any of them.
Stop it.
But you told me to talk.
All you talk about are bad things about others.
Do you only have complaints?
But that's how my life is.
Then do you want me to lie?
I'm just saying that my life is tough too.
How are things between you and Min Hee?
That's the biggest problem...
Well, we're okay, I guess.
Wait. Are you here to interrogate me?
A man like you who never appreciates the people around you...
and who only complains whenever you open your mouth...
would never be good to your wife.
You probably make her upset all the time. Am I right?
That's not fair.
You always blame me for everything without knowing the truth.
Oh Min Hee, that...
I mean, Min Hee was at fault.
What did she do wrong?
Well... You don't need to know the details.
You're my child,
but I'm grateful to Min Hee for putting up with your temper.
She may be unreasonable and rude at times,
but she's always so affectionate to you.
She's nice to other people, not me.
She nags at me all the time.
You never admit or agree with what I say.
"Yes, Dad. I'm sorry."
You never listen or accept my opinion.
Gosh. Hey, I'm not here to argue. You must know that.
It's too late to say that.
You're not here to argue with me but to scold me.
- Excuse me. - Excuse me.
Where's our food?
Are they harvesting rice or what?
Hey, they'll serve it when it's ready. Just wait.
Why did you call the waiter then?
Hey, you're still here.
We should go home together. All boyfriends do that.
Gosh. Be careful when you speak.
Don't worry. How about we go to a famous restaurant?
I can't. You gave me work to do, remember?
You asked me to give you my feedback on the marketing plan by tomorrow.
Oh, that's right. You will have to work at home...
because of me.
Wait. You must be angry now. How about a staring contest?
What? That's so random.
You must hate me right now. Let's do it. Come on.
Whenever you're ready.
Why on earth...
- Come on. - Gosh, this is annoying. Fine.
Ready, go.
Okay. I lost.
What was that? Why did you even challenge me?
Okay. It's clear now. Let's get going. Let's go.
He's one weird guy. He's so weird.
Was it the same?
Why? You said you had a nice chat with him.
You said it went well.
It went well, yes.
That's a lie. I messed it up just like last time.
Oh, goodness.
You should've told yourself to stay calm and peaceful.
I did. I said it in my head hundreds of times.
Gosh, whenever I talk to that brat...
Gosh. I told myself not to expect too much on the first try.
I tried hard to suppress my emotions.
But I don't think that brat and I will ever get along.
What should I do?
You do know that the two of you are so similar, don't you?
What? I think he's the one who's most different from me.
Why do people say he takes after me?
That's not true. Gosh.
Since he's my son, I can't say he's totally different from me.
But it's not true that he's just like me.
It's natural for a father and a son to be similar to each other.
You can hate each other because you're similar,
and you can love each other most because you're similar.
It's normal.
I found out that people speak ill of him.
When I visited him at work,
I heard his colleagues saying bad things about him.
I wondered what he had done to make them hate him.
But who else can I blame? He grew up watching me.
It doesn't seem that he's good to Min Hee either.
"What should I do about him?"
"If he keeps living like that,"
"he'll regret it so much later just like I did."
That's what I'm thinking about.
If he takes after you,
he must have a gentle heart just like you.
If you show him that you can change,
he'll follow you right away. Don't you think so?
Of course. I'll go wash up.
- Get some rest. - Okay.
Hey, Min Hee. You finally picked up.
Have you been busy?
Yes. I just finished the shoot.
What is it, Mother?
Well... I felt bad about what I said to you yesterday.
Are you still upset about it?
I'm sorry.
What? No, I'm okay.
I thought it could seem that way to you.
But you have to believe me. That's not the case.
I've been faithful to Sang Gu. I have a clear conscience.
Of course, I know that. I shouldn't have said it.
I know how good you are to Sang Gu.
Yes. Okay.
Your drama will begin shortly.
I'll be sure to watch it.
Yes. Get some rest.
She's so nice.
She can't stay mad so long. She smiles again quickly.
I'm sure she'll resolve the issues between her and her husband.
I knew it. When I held her hand or looked her in the eyes,
my heart didn't flutter at all.
I mean, if I liked her,
my heart would've pounded like crazy,
my mind would've gone blank, and I would've been flustered.
It would've been crazy. Right.
I definitely have no feelings for Han Geu Roo.
It's been thoroughly confirmed and verified.
What are you doing?
Yi Jae said he was craving tteokbokki, so I made some.
He made enough for you too.
Oh, my. You two look so sweet. It's so nice to see you like this.
But Yi Jae, I'll pass. I don't want a potbelly.
But you would like it.
- Are you sure? - I won't eat it.
Mr. Hyun, I'm reviewing the marketing plan.
Why did you set our target ratio of selling price to 70 percent?
The average is 55 percent.
Is this a typo?
Sorry? What are you saying?
Are you eating something?
Is it not a typo?
Then why did you set it so high?
Yes, it's been selling well,
but we haven't done any marketing yet.
Gosh. Stop mumbling.
Come on out. Let's talk in person.
I mean, what will you do if it doesn't sell?
You just made a long list of PR companies...
We should be ambitious.
Why? What is it?
I guess you were eating tteokbokki.
How... How did you know?
Are you a kid? Are you?
