Attention!
Your mom is the Queen...
and the President of this household now.
I thought Mom was always at the top of the pyramid.
That's right. It's always been like that,
but you must all treat her like a VVIP now.
From now on, you must all obey her without exception,
and you guys have to make her happy.
She's going through a difficult time at the moment.
That's all I can tell you now.
Anyway, we just need to help her relax and be happy.
Do you understand?
- Yes. - Yes.
Is that all you got? Do you all understand?
- Yes! - Yes!
Good. This won't be easy for any of us.
However, I expect all of you to cooperate.
Don't do anything that would get on your mom's nerves.
Even when you don't understand why she's angry,
just think that she probably has her own reasons and let it go.
Especially you, Min Ah.
Don't take things out on your mom. Do you understand?
Okay.
But that's because of my hormones.
Mom said she understands.
Right, you and your hormones.
That's true.
Still, do your best.
The three of us should be on our best behavior, okay?
- Okay! - Okay!
Guys.
Everyone, bow.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Why did you gather everyone so early in the morning?
I disciplined them a little.
Good morning, honey.
You did what?
Gosh, whatever. I don't care.
Move. I need to use the bathroom.
What's with you guys?
All right, guys. Go make breakfast.
Make what your mom likes.
- Go, move! - Let's go!
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 73)
What?
Why are you back?
I guess you didn't hear earlier.
I have no classes this morning. I just took the kids to school.
- I see. - I'll head out again later.
Did Mom go to the salon?
Yes, she said she had a client coming in early this morning.
- Go get some rest. - No, it's okay. I got this.
Don't worry. I already started it.
Just go rest up.
- Let me lift the couch for you. - My goodness.
It's okay. Then you do this. I'll lift it.
Okay.
You're so strong! My gosh.
I feel so weak these days.
I get hot easily, so I don't do well with hot weather.
I feel very weak on hot days.
That's when you need to exercise.
Why don't we...
Right, you must be tired.
I kept telling you to work out with me when you needed rest.
Mom gave me an earful for being so slow-witted.
No. The thing is...
I can't do it often,
but I do need to exercise once in a while.
I need to get back in shape.
Did you really have to let her go?
I understand there's always external pressure.
But you're the director.
It means the set, the actors, and even the writer...
are all a part of this project you're in charge of.
Isn't it your job to protect them?
Isn't that how your seniors taught you?
Then what? Protect Min Hee and lose two lead actors?
Your case is different. Because you're a famous director,
you have the power to protect even the most junior staff.
I'm fully aware of that. When I was assisting you,
I saw you grabbing the production company owner...
by the collar when they didn't pay the staff.
I saw everything,
and that's what I learned,
but I'm just not there yet as a director.
It's not like someone else will get you there.
If you want to get there, you must show everyone what you can do...
as the director of the show at a moment of crisis like this.
Are you sure you didn't make this decision because of me?
Be honest. Didn't you do this to get back at me?
What? No!
What do you take me for?
Then,
at least let her wrap it up.
Don't say you can't even do that for her.
I took some time and thought about it.
I can't say I'm not upset.
I am upset. I am very upset.
But I understand I can't solve anything by being upset.
If this happened five years ago,
I'd lash out at everyone and cause a big scene.
I guess I'm getting old too.
I don't have the energy to do that.
Right. Of course, you're upset.
I understand.
Do me a favor.
Can I meet the writer?
Sorry? The writer?
I'll leave the show, but not like this.
Not abruptly like this.
She's shocked upon finding out that Yu Ri is her daughter,
so she drinks and drives, then dies in an accident?
And you'll show her funeral portrait right after that?
This really breaks my heart.
I lived as Jung Yoon Ae only for a short while.
But the fact that I have to let her go like this...
I really can't accept it.
Right, the writer feels horrible too.
The writer is upset as well,
- but the situation... - Right.
The writer created this character...
but now has to get rid of her because people want me gone.
I can only imagine how upset the writer must be now.
So please...
I won't be clingy,
so please help me meet the writer.
I just want to talk to the writer about my last scene.
"The little ant was sad."
Honey Jar, do you like this story? Is that why you're moving?
Okay, I'll write this down.
Honey Jar's favorite book.
Let's ask Dad to read you this book when he gets home.
Hey, is everything okay?
I'm going to tell Mom that you keep going to the Internet cafe.
Gosh, I wasn't at the Internet cafe.
I studied hard at the library.
Then show me your workbook.
You don't believe me?
Here.
What? You solved all the questions.
Yes.
Gosh, you didn't even touch this part.
Those questions are difficult.
Oh, and...
Another one for you.
It's so cute.
Your friend is so good at this.
Put it beside the other one over there.
It'll make a great toy when Honey Jar is born.
It's a gift from Honey Jar's uncle.
You didn't make it yourself.
Well, I'm the one who gave it to you.
Oh, it must be Grandma.
Hi, In Seo.
Hello, come on in.
- Thanks. - Come out, Min Ah.
Just a second.
- Can I get a glass of water? - Sure.
How are things with your mom and dad?
I rarely see them because they both work now.
Everything's been good, right?
Yes.
Oh, actually... I think they're both stressed at work.
They seem very tired these days.
Right, I'm sure the hot weather doesn't help.
Dad usually works outside, you know.
Right.
I just wanted to tell you how they're doing.
Don't worry. They're both doing well.
All right. I'm not worried because I know you're a good son to them.
- You guys are doing well too? - Yes, we're fine.
- Great. - I'll be in my room.
- All right. - You can do this, Grandma.
I can do this!
- Hello, Grandma! - Yes!
Hello, Teacher Min Ah.
- Let's see. - I did my homework.
Writer Seo went through the portfolios...
but didn't like any of them. We should keep looking.
Okay, the illustrations have to go with the story.
I'll keep looking too.
Okay. That's it, right? Thank you for the good meeting.
By the way, you seem happy these days.
What? Me?
Yes, you smile a lot these days.
Really? But nothing's new with me.
Maybe it's because I'm relieved we met all the important deadlines?
But don't you think it's because you're happier these days?
You think so?
Maybe. I'm more at ease these days. Yi Jae and I have gotten close.
Yes, you look happy.
Gosh, again?
- Sorry? - What? Oh, nothing.
Take it easy. Let's keep up the good work.
Keep it up!
- Hi! - My gosh.
Gosh, what is this?
Did you get a side job at a theme park or something?
My goodness.
I told you I wanted to do this as a surprise event at the reading.
I couldn't wear this last time because you told me not to,
but I will do it this time. Isn't it so cute?
So you wanted to show me this?
When did you put this on?
As soon as you went into Ji Wan's office...
By the way, why did your meeting go on for so long?
You've been wearing it this whole time?
Gosh, this fabric is so thick.
Come on. Take it off now.
- What? Take it off? - Goodness.
Actually, no. Put this on again. Let me take some photos.
My goodness. You never once wanted to take photos of me.
You want to take photos now that I'm wearing this cat costume?
Why would I take photos of someone I see every day?
Come on. Put it back on.
How adorable!
Nice. Nice pose. This is great.
Give me a cute pose.
Now, something sexy.
Try to look serious this time.
So serious!
- What are you staring at? - What?
The painting?
Why? Do you still regret quitting art?
No, I don't.
What brings you by?
My meeting ended early, so I stopped by.
Look at you. You're studying very hard.
Well, I'm just doing my best.
You don't need to study for the TOEIC test.
Just get the level one computer proficiency certificate.
You need the basics.
I arranged a job interview for you.
It's my old boss' company. It's a small company,
but it's doing well. They're okay with you not having any experience.
It's a sales position, so they want someone...
with the right attitude. They don't care about fancy qualifications.
A sales position?
I'm not sure if I can work in sales.
Well, as long as I can get hired.
I can't be picky.
But do you personally know the owner?
Did you have to bribe someone for this?
Gosh, why would I bribe anyone?
I just arranged the interview for you.
But you'll probably get hired.
To be honest, my dad helped me out.
The owner is my dad's friend, but I'm also close to him.
- He's like an uncle to me. - I see.
Sang Min, it takes skills to seize an opportunity.
You will get a job if you lower the bar,
but you'll struggle anywhere you go with your current qualifications.
And you can't set a vision for your life.
Gain some experience at this company...
and find a new job when you can add this to your resume.
I'll think about it.
What's there to think about?
This is the best option in your current situation.
You'll go to the interview, right?
- I'll go place my order. - Okay.
Please don't move.
Okay.
Why are you walking on eggshells around me?
You're making me do it.
You act like you're the boss.
So what? You feel wronged?
That a mere physical therapist is bossing you around?
Hey, that's not why.
It's because you're my friend.
I've been on edge, haven't I? I'm sorry.
But I now know the root cause of it,
so I think I can have a better handle on it now.
I don't feel 100 percent confident, but anyway...
What is it? What was the reason?
It's nothing.
If I tell you,
you'll get upset too because you can sympathize with it.
Now, I'm even more curious. Is this a quiz?
I'll tell you later. I need some time to process it.
You saw me doing all sorts of silly things.
People say I'm hard to approach.
They're wrong. Compared to you,
I'm awfully easygoing.
Then you wouldn't want to join me and Sang Gu for a meal.
If you're still kind of upset.
What? You're meeting my brother-in-law again for a meal?
I still can't get used to you calling him your brother-in-law.
Anyway, I wanted to organize a little reunion...
by inviting you and Sang Baek.
So you've been in touch with him?
Yes, I still need to advise him a few more times,
and I have fun when I'm with him.
Is it okay to keep spending time with him?
Why is it not okay?
We went to school together.
Sang Gu is my friend.
Why are you so old-fashioned?
I can't be friends with him because he's not a woman?
I should get back to the treatment room.
We'll do something together next time.
How can they be friends?
I mean, knowing their personalities...
Are they different when they're with friends?
Fine, maybe I'm just too old-fashioned.
I'm getting old physically, and I'm stuck in my old ways.
Well, what's Sang Gu going to do? He's married.
The same goes for her. She got burned badly by her ex-husband.
She wouldn't invite us if something was going on.
Fine, be friends.
Be friends all you want.
Just sleep if you're tired.
You keep waking up at night.
You should just go to bed early.
No, I should stay up until bedtime.
That's enough. You can stop now.
I feel better now.
You lie down. I'll give you a massage.
- Come on. - No, it's okay.
How dare I get a massage from our VIP?
Come on. It's no big deal.
Lie down. Let me give you a massage.
Aren't you tired?
I am, so I'm going to give you a lousy massage.
Just stay like this.
Here we go.
My gosh, you sure are a professional physical therapist.
Your massage is on another level.
It feels so nice.
Why are you here?
What's going on? Was that Heon?
What's going on?
Darn it.
Gosh.
Mr. Im, what brings you by?
I'm sorry.
I wanted to have a talk with Heon but couldn't reach him.
So I had to visit, although I know this is rude.
But he came to see you. You should talk to him.
I have nothing to say to him.
I mean, I have many things I want to say,
but I don't want to talk to him.
Heon.
I'm sorry.
You specifically asked me not to stress out Mother and Min Ah.
It's okay. In this situation, you come first.
I know that you're very upset now,
but it seems like your father has to talk to you about something.
Talk to him for a moment and see what he has to say.
You can't cut ties with him and never see him again.
Min Ah, let's give them a moment.
I'll be outside.
I see, this is the room you and Min Ah use.
It's nice and cute.
You're embarrassing me in front of Min Ah.
Just say what you need to say and leave.
Okay.
All right.
You know, son...
I love you more than anyone in this entire world.
I'm sorry for disappointing you.
I'm really sorry.
It totally woke me up.
You deceived me all my life.
Everything you had told me was a lie.
What do you think that means to me?
Do you think I can forgive you?
You must've done this to Mom too.
She forgave you over and over. Then in the end...
You two got a divorce.
I resented Mom so much.
I hated her!
Not knowing what you had done to her.
You're right, Heon.
Get out.
I don't want to see you ever again.
No, I refuse to see you.
All right. I understand you won't believe me now,
but I promise you that I'll change. I'll come back a changed man,
so I can stand before you and my grandkid without feeling ashamed.
I promise I'll change, okay?
Please take good care of Heon.
Okay.
I'm sorry, Min Ah.
I wanted to take care of you as your father-in-law.
I'm really sorry. Take good care of yourself.
I'm sorry about everything.
Take care.
I saw Heon.
He's very hurt.
I'm sorry.
And thank you.
It's been all sorted out.
I still need to go to the court a few more times,
but we've agreed to settle the case,
so the court will take that into consideration as well.
I've said sorry to you so many times...
that I can't bring myself to say it again.
Thank you for everything.
Until I can fully turn over a new leaf,
I will...
stay out of your sight...
as well as Heon's.
I wish you all the best.
Try to live a decent life, please.
Heon used to be so fond of you.
Don't let him remember you like this.
Hi, Dad.
What?
I should focus on work so I can get it done quickly and go home.

but I finally did it.
I know, from the individual pages...
to the belly band, I designed everything.
I'm so happy that the book I designed from start to finish...
is finally out and can be read by the readers.
I'm busy, so let's wrap it up here. Thank you.
Please don't...
Ms. Book Designer, can I please get your autograph?

Stop it, will you?
