(Motel)
(Mother)
Hello?
What's going on? Why didn't you pick up?
Is everything okay? Are you all right?
Mother.
Min Hee.
Mother.
My gosh.
Let me take you home first, okay?
No, I don't want to go home.
I don't want to see Geum Sang Gu.
I'm not going home.
Let's go to my place, okay?
Sorry?
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 84)
Min Hee packed up and left too? Why?
I don't even need to ask.
Sang Gu must've done something wrong, right?
Well, she's not telling me why.
And I've only heard one side of the story,
but that's what she's saying.
She said she can't live with him anymore.
It doesn't look like a small fight.
Goodness. Then he should be the one moving out.
Why must she move out and put up with all this?
Well, he's saying it's his house that he bought with his money,
so he can't move out.
- That little... - Gosh, don't.
Please calm down. Anyway, that's the situation now.
She was staying at a hotel but can't afford it anymore.
So she's parked in front of a cheap motel now.
I can't just leave her there.
I'll go bring her here.
What? But still...
Sang Min is one thing, but even a daughter-in-law now?
Gosh, no. The girls will be upset with us.
I'll pay for a hotel room so she can go stay there.
No, she'll come here.
That poor thing was bawling.
She's probably not in her right mind now.
What if...
she tries to hurt herself or does something crazy...
Gosh, no. She'd never do that.
You're right. She'd never.
But you see, when I got a divorce...
and moved out with my kids...
My gosh.
I can talk about it like this now, but I was devastated back then.
All sorts of thoughts ran through my head after my kids went to bed.
But in Min Hee's case, her kid isn't even here.
She's all alone.
And she'll now go stay at a motel?
She always said she was okay and nothing could intimidate her.
That tough cookie was bawling her eyes out.
She's totally falling apart.
We can't leave her alone.
The fact that she didn't go to her parents' place...
means that she doesn't want a divorce, so there's hope.
Let's bring her here...
and try to persuade her.
And we should also find out what's really going on.
Still, I'll be too embarrassed to face the girls.
Gosh, they'll understand.
And most importantly, Min Hee comes first now. Okay?
Let's do that.
Follow me.
Over there.
- Where? Where is she? - There's a car over there.
A car?
Right there.
- Darn it. - Where are you going?
I need to teach that brat a lesson.
He lied to his father without hesitation...
and kicked out his wife saying it's his house.
That little...
So what? Will you go there and fight with him again?
What? No. But I need to hear his side of the story too.
It's getting late.
You can talk to him tomorrow. Come on.
Come on, quick.
Hurry.
Min Hee.
Get out.
I really don't think this is the right thing to do.
I'm getting a divorce, so how can I stay with you?
Gosh, I can't do this.
You're not getting a divorce right this second.
What did he do?
What is happening?
Everyone is asleep now,
so it's okay. Let's go.
Come on. Let's go.
Let's go.
Yes, come on. Let's go.
Mother.
We can talk later.
You're losing your voice from all the crying.
Don't talk.
Hold on. Did you not bring any clothes?
No.
Mine will be too small for you.
Hang on. I'll go bring Da Bal's clothes.
Mother, don't.
I really can't face the family like this.
Did you already get a divorce? Did you sign the divorce papers?
Not yet, right?
So you're just visiting your in-laws.
Why can't you sleep at your in-laws' place?
Get some sleep and pull yourself together.
We'll talk tomorrow, okay?
I'll get you some clothes and a toothbrush. Get some rest.
My gosh.
Hey.
What? Dad?
Oh, it's morning, right?
Dad, what are you doing here?
Goodness.
- Dad. - Just stay there.
What is going on?
In Seo and now Dad?
Why is everyone sleeping in my room?
Did he get kicked out again?
What's going on?
Well...
You see, Min Hee is here. I told her to come and stay with us.
She slept in my room,
and she may stay here for a while.
- What? - Mom.
Yes, I must have run a tavern in my past life.
I didn't get to feed and provide accommodation for enough people.
So I was born again...
to do just that in this lifetime.
But why? What happened?
She and Sang Gu are having some problems,
so she has to stay at a place where she can pull herself together.
Think about this before you say anything.
You know, when I moved out with the three of you...
and had nowhere to go,
I so wished someone had offered us a place to stay.
You all remember that, right?
That's exactly how she feels right now.
So she and Sang Gu fought?
But why would she come here?
Were you even listening? I said I told her to come here.
How long is she going to stay here? How many days?
Well, I should persuade her to go home as soon as possible.
They should patch things up.
Then where will she stay until that happens?
She can't sleep in your room forever.
What?
Me?
You sleep in Sol's room often anyway.
Hey, she won't be here long.
She'll go home today or in two days at the most.
Also,
there's nothing you girls need to do.
We just need to put one more spoon on the table. It's no big deal.
It means we have one more person living with us.
Of course, it is a big deal. We can't just ignore it.
Well, here's an example.
Let's say you all got married.
But you fought with your husband and moved out.
You can't bring yourself to come here...
because you don't want to worry me.
So you go to either Young Hye or Min Hee's place...
and ask them if you could stay there for just one night...
"Gosh, no way."
"We can't because it'll be uncomfortable."
Will they say that?
She has a way of making us agree with her without complaining.
I know that it'll be uncomfortable.
But you all understand, right?
Yes.
My gosh, you girls are so sweet.
You're such sweethearts.
Now, get ready for work!
- Okay. - This meeting's over!
- Okay. - Okay.
- My sweetheart. - Gosh.
But I'm wondering...
what's really going on.
What if it's something serious?
Gosh, no way.
If it was, she wouldn't be here now.
Let's just pretend we don't know anything.
Okay, gosh.
What is this?
Darn it. So many fell out overnight.
Goodness. It's not like I can plant them back in.
Darn it.
Oh Min Hee?
Oh Min Hee...
Oh Min Hee? Is it you?
What?
Dad, what brings you here so early in the morning?
Clearly, you did something wrong. Look at you trembling.
I can't stand you.
Why? What did I do?
Sit down.
Sit down!
What is going on in that darn head of yours?
Do you know where Min Hee is right now?
I don't. It's driving me crazy...
What?
Your wife packed up and left.
You don't even know where she is, yet you slept all night?
She's at my place now.
What? Why is she there?
What is going on?
I should be asking you that.
What is going on? What on earth did you do...
that she's all upset and devastated?
I didn't do anything. Nothing happened.
She wouldn't listen to me. Whatever I said,
she just kept lashing out at me.
I know we fought, but how could she pack up and leave?
Is that the right thing to do, Dad?
She said you told her to leave.
You kicked her out, saying you bought this house with your money!
Gosh, this is crazy!
She told me to move out. So I asked her, "Why should I?"
Then I said something along the lines of that, but...
Dad, she does this all the time.
She knows what was really said but makes stuff up...
to make me look bad.
I really can't stand you.
Beg her on your knees and take her home. You got that?
Why should I? She should come here herself.
You little...
Come and take her.
I've made it clear to you.
Bye.
You went there first thing in the morning?
What did he say?
I see, really?
Then I guess they fought for no reason.
She must be holding a grudge about something.
All married couples do.
Don't tell me...
Okay, I trust that you didn't hit him.
She was tossing and turning all night but is still asleep.
I'm just going to let her sleep in.
Will you go straight to work from there?
Okay, I'll see you in the evening then.
All right.
- Really? - I'm still working on it.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Hold on.
Where's Mr. Choi?
He went to work before I even got up.
He said he'll tell us when we get to the office.
Let's go.
Mr. Lee handed in his resignation last night,
and I took care of it right away.
This is so sudden. He won't even train his successor?
This is crazy. Does he think this company is a joke?
Then what about the cover we have to finalize by today?
And what about the other projects?
You don't need to worry about that.
I came in early to figure out the design team's situation...
and found out that Mr. Lee practically did nothing.
Ms. Gu and Ga Eun have been doing all the work,
so we'll be totally fine.
I knew it.
All he did was play those games.
This is crazy.
This is all my fault, as the CEO of the company.
I hired him in a rush without vetting him properly,
which has resulted in causing you all this stress. I'm sorry.
Then what's going to happen to the design team?
I understand they've been doing all the work,
but we still need someone to make all the decisions.
Right, we do.
- Ms. Gu. - Yes?
I'd like you to manage our design team.
You definitely have enough experience,
and you've proved yourself through all your achievements.
Me? We're not hiring externally?
No. Keep up the great work.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
And this may be a little too early,
but I believe Ga Eun deserves the assistant manager title,
so she's also getting a promotion.
Yes, Ga Eun has been doing such a great job. Congratulations.
- My gosh! - Congratulations, Ga Eun.
- Nice! - This is great!
- Congratulations, Ga Eun. - Take us out for dinner!
- Congratulations. - Take us out for dinner!
I'm an assistant manager now, Assistant Manager Min Ga Eun.
Congratulations, seriously.
Everyone says I deserve it and that I've been doing a great job.
They all congratulated me.
Of course.
Mr. Lee always took credit for all the work you did.
It's about time the truth was revealed.
I can't believe he was so mean to you...
when he was planning on bowing out like that.
It's too bad you didn't get to yell back at him once.
Well, I'd be lying if I said I never thought about it.
"Don't be so mean to me. Please don't treat me like this."
I was going to say that to him,
but it's okay.
You know that saying.
"What does not kill you makes you stronger."
I'm just going to think that...
he helped me become stronger.
Nice, that's cool.
A jerk like that will never do his job well or treat anyone right.
He'll eventually have to take responsibility for his own actions.
Yes.
Anyway, you're Assistant Manager Min Ga Eun now.
Then are there only two people on the design team now?
No, we'll hire someone new.
Frankly, that's what I'm most excited about.
So you're no longer the newbie on the team.
- That's right! - Nice.
Oh, well...
Things are suddenly going so well for me.
This feels like a dream.
Should I pinch you too?
What?
- Ga Eun. - Yes?
This isn't "sudden."
You've been working so hard,
and all your hard work is finally being recognized.
I wouldn't call this "luck."
Right.
- This is fascinating. - What do you mean?
When you said things were suddenly happening for you...
and that it felt like a dream,
I thought the exact same thing.
The opportunity came to you because you held out...
and because you're so talented.
It's not a fluke, and it certainly didn't just happen.
I wanted to tell you that.
Cheers.
I'm an assistant manager now.
My gosh, Mr. Choi is so decisive.
You really didn't know?
No, he got the notice last night and made the decision this morning.
Good riddance.
Remember the time when the colorist bailed on us?
He should've taken responsibility for that.
Exactly. Things will get done much quicker now that he's gone.
Yes.
Mr. Hyun, are you not interested in the blind date I mentioned?
Oh, that. Not really.
She's such a good catch.
I think her work trip got extended. She's still in Korea.
Why don't you meet her while she's in Korea...
and see her again when you're in New York if you like her?
If not, just leave it at that. What do you say?
I'm not sure.
She'll be all alone there,
so it'd be nice for her to have a friend she can rely on.
You don't know anyone there either,
so you two can just meet up as friends.
Sure, let's do that then.
A blind date? Is he serious?
Goodness.
You're okay with it, right?
Yes, totally.
"We did date even though it was just a contract,"
"so are you upset that I'm going on a blind date..."
"right after we broke up?"
If that's what you're asking, I don't care at all.
Or if you're asking whether I'm okay with you going on a blind date,
you have no reason to ask for my permission to begin with.
I can't keep turning it down, that's all.
I'll just have a cup of tea and leave.
I told you that I don't care.
It's nice that you're trying to be courteous to your ex,
but you don't have to be like this with me...
because what we did wasn't even real to begin with.
Are you worried about something?
What is it? You keep sighing nonstop.
It's not like you can solve it for me.
Come on, Mr. Lee. The next class will begin shortly.
You need to perk up.
Just spill it.
I'm just a little frustrated.
- I met my school friends yesterday, - Okay.
And they kept talking about money.
That they made money from stocks and investments.
Hearing that made me feel like an idiot.
I feel so behind in life.
Right, I heard many people do it these days.
Exactly. I'm thinking maybe I should get into it too,
but I know nothing about it.
I feel as though I'm just watching everyone else make money.
Gosh, forget it. I'll be fine.
You should try it.
What? You mean, I should invest in stocks?
Just think that you went out for a fancy meal...
and invest that amount.
It's not really about making a fortune.
You just feel behind, and that's why you're frustrated.
So just try it out.
"I'm doing it too."
Even just that will make you feel better.
Right.
It's not really about money.
I'm anxious because I'm not doing what everyone else is doing.
What if I become obsessed with it though?
What if I'm glued to my phone all day to check my stocks?
That won't happen.
You're so disciplined.
You may get like that at the beginning,
but you'll eventually let it go saying, "I've done it too."
Judo is what you love the most.
And I'll stop you if I think you'll become too obsessed.
- Right? - Yes.
By the way, what's gotten into you?
"Why worry about stuff like that? Just live your life."
I thought you'd just say that.
- I'm quite empathic, you know. - What?
So I listened and offered you a piece of advice.
You're empathic?
That's right. This super smart guy told me...
that I'm empathic and emotionally sensitive.
Well, maybe. Just today.
I'm always like this!
Look, it even shows in the way I'm mopping the floor.
- True that. - Look, every nook and cranny.
I don't miss a single spot, you know?
What are you doing?
I wanted to stare at you all day.
Why did you sleep in?
I thought you got enough sleep.
Right, I thought so too.
But I feel so lethargic.
What time is it now?
It's almost lunchtime.
Let's go eat.
- Okay, let's eat. - Let's have lunch.
All right.
- Did you sleep well? - Yes.
You woke up. Did you sleep well?
Take a seat. You must be hungry.
Here.
Look at this now.
The entire family is having lunch together on a weekday.
Are we celebrating being jobless?
Goodness, must you be so blunt?
We're celebrating your homecoming.
Goodness.
Fine, I can relax like this because I'm taking time off work.
Right, I should tell your father and Ms. Kang that I'm back.
I couldn't tell them last night because I got home so late.
I called them earlier.
Ms. Kang said she'll be home today,
so go say hi after lunch.
Yes, I will.
By the way, you didn't make anything special for this party?
Is this it?
- Goodness. - Gosh.
Honey, what do you take me for?
I made braised short ribs!
- My gosh. - Braised short ribs! Nice!
- It's hot. - Yes. Now, it's a party.
- It looks amazing. - It looks good.
Eat as much as you want, Mother.
I didn't make this myself, but I peeled all the potatoes...
- and carrots. - Oh, careful.
And I put in the jujubes too.
- This is beef, not pork. - Yes, it's beef.
- I'm going to eat all of it. - My gosh, well done.
- Goodness. - I want all of it.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
- Dig in. - Enjoy.
- Eat up. - My gosh.
- How is it? Is it good? - Dig in.
You should open up a restaurant.
Why wear makeup just to go over to Ms. Kang's place?
Oh, I haven't seen them in a while. My complexion looked a little dull,
so I didn't want them to worry.
Come on.
You always look so pretty.
My goodness.
I must say, I should pack up and leave once in a while.
You're so sweet to me now.
I really mean it.
I'm going to help In Seo and Heon prepare for their road test.
Oh, for the driver's license?
Sure. Instead of completely wasting his time,
he should at least get a license that will be useful.
Come on. You gave him permission to get a driver's license.
And In Seo is good.
Maybe he really is good at everything except for studying.
Goodness.
I mean, we should be happy about that.
My gosh! Young Hye.
Welcome back. My goodness.
Seriously, welcome back.
I know you were really worried.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. I'm glad you're back.
Did you get some rest?
Yes, I feel fine now.
You've been well, right?
Yes, I've been good.
But at my place...
My gosh...
Min Hee?
Min Hee, why are you here?
Some stuff happened, so she's staying with us now.
Why did you come out? I told you to get some rest.
Oh, I got a call asking to move my car.
Really?
All right. I'll come home right after my appointments,
so let's talk then.
Don't go anywhere. Stay home, okay?
Okay? Min Hee, don't go anywhere.
All right, I'll see you later.
Good. Let's talk later, Young Hye.
My client is waiting, so I have to go.
- Okay, see you. - See you.
Well, you know. Some stuff happened.
Right, we need to talk about something.
What? Me? About what?
I'll go move my car first.
Wait right here.
What's she talking about?
(Be My Dream Family)
