- Hi, Da Bal. Yes. - You're finally home.
It's good to see you again.
I wondered if you two had forgotten about us.
Sol waited for a long time but just fell asleep.
Oh, I see.
All right. It's getting late. Let's talk tomorrow.
Wait. Are you going somewhere now?
Pardon? No. I'm not going out. I don't have to.
Okay.
- Good night. - You too.
By the way, where did you go to have so much fun?
Did you have a good time at the hotel?
Yes, we had a great time.
Hello, Mr. Choi.
My mom and Mr. Geum just got home.
They're back from a trip.
So I talked to them for a while, and it's quite late now.
Shall we have that beer some other time?
Oh, I see. Of course. I understand.
Then some other time...
Yes.
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 97)
You seem so excited. I guess things are going well.
Indeed, honey. Since we're opened as a soft opening,
many people stopped by to ask what kind of restaurant it is now.
Some of them ate at my restaurant since they came.
Min Ah made a social media account for my restaurant...
to promote it by uploading photos of my food every day.
She also posted about it on online communities for moms.
She wrote that we'll hold an event at our grand opening,
and some people commented on that post.
That's great. I'm happy for you.
Come on. Can't you cheer for me with more enthusiasm?
Trust me. It'll be successful.
All right. Make sure to prepare for the grand opening properly.
I'll do that. Wait. Hold on a second.
Here. This is for you.
What?
Twenty dollars?
It's the money I received from my first customer.
I thought of laminating and framing those bills to hang on the wall.
But I remembered that I promised you I'd give you all the money I earned.
Although I started with 20 dollars, I'll work really hard...
until I make it to 20,000 dollars and give you all that money.
Good. Since you have started it,
I won't demand you to give me all the money you earn,
- so do your best. - Of course.
I'll do my best. I'll cheer up and work hard as always!
I just want a little bit of butter on my toast. Thank you.
As you wish, ma'am.
Why? You don't want to do it?
Of course I should do it for you. Don't be ridiculous. I'm doing it.
You still seem to have a hard time adjusting to your new lifestyle.
- There. - Here you go.
Here's your toast.
Will you be late tonight?
No, not really. I'll just meet the production company CEO...
and finalize casting.
I'm going to meet a few more actresses.
For which role? Which one hasn't been cast yet?
Do you think I have a chance...
Never mind. I suppose I shouldn't ask for it.
Please don't. It'd be awkward if we work together.
Fine. I asked just in case. It's sort of a habit of mine.
Last time, they acted as if they'd call me but didn't in the end.
I'm worried I might be forgotten just as I was before.
By the way, don't you eat with Father?
I heard this while I was staying at Mother's house.
That Sang Baek and Sang Min ate with him a few times.
Really?
Hi, Dad. It's me.
Why don't you eat with me like you do with the others?
You ate with me only once and haven't invited me ever since.
But you ate with Sang Baek and Sang Min several times.
Why did you ask me to eat with you in the first place...
if you were going to discriminate against me like this?
What?
Gosh. I never discriminated against you.
I ate with those two more than once because they live nearby.
And you had a situation...
I mean... Hey, I'm busy. Let's eat together later, okay?
Hi. No, it's not like that. Eat with him.
He's not busy today. He's free.
Ms. Kang.
Meet him at his store at lunchtime.
Okay. Bye.
I should eat with you.
I have to make sure you take your medicine and check your condition.
I'm in good condition today.
Oh, dear. You've been glued to me since last week.
You'll get exhausted at this rate. I mean... I already feel exhausted.
You'll have to look after me again as I'll start treatment tomorrow.
Do your own things at least for today.
And take Sang Gu to a nice place and have a good time with him.
Seeing that he called you first, he must've been upset.
How could you turn him down?
All right. I'll do that.
Then make sure to eat well even though you're alone, okay?
I'll go to the salon right after having lunch. Okay.
(Arang Publishing)
You keep checking your phone.
- What is it? - Pardon?
No. It's nothing.
Tell me. Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?
- It wasn't a fight, really. - Go on.
It's silly. Never mind. I'm okay.
Come on. You're totally distracted because of that.
You won't be able to focus on the meeting.
Why don't you vent to me? Oh, right.
Ms. Han here is like an expert when it comes to relationships.
You should ask her for advice.
Wait... What do you mean...
It's true. You gave me good advice from the wide experience of yours.
- Really? - Yes.
Then please help me, Ms. Han. I can't stop worrying.
Well, I'm not...
Then just for a while before the writer comes.
What's the problem?
Welcome...
Hey. Hi, Sang Gu.
Dad said he'd be a little late and told me to wait at his store,
but the door was locked.
I see. Come on in and have a seat.
I'm glad you came. You can wait here.
Do you want something to drink? How about some cold juice?
- Yes, please. If you have some... - Okay. Wait here.
Have you been studying?
Oh, this? Didn't you know?
I'm preparing for the exam to get a high school diploma.
I'm too old to study. It's silly, right?
Oh, I didn't know that.
I'm sorry, but give me a minute.
I'm happy to see you, but let me just finish this one.
Or else I'll forget everything and have to start over again.
Sure. Please go ahead.
Done.
I don't care if I got the correct answer or not.
It's important that I solved it.
It's hard for me to learn new things when I'm younger than you.
Isn't it hard to study?
I'm taking my time.
"I'll keep trying until I pass." I'm studying with this mindset.
Apart from everything else, I find studying fun.
Oh, right. Sang Gu, you like sashimi, right?
You squeeze lemon on sashimi. Do you know why?
Pardon me?
Well, I guess it's to remove the fishy taste.
Exactly. That's what I thought too.
Actually, what makes it fishy is the basic substance in fish,
and acidity can neutralize it.
That's why we squeeze lemon because it has acid.
I learned that only recently while studying science.
Learning things like this is so much fun.
I never even wondered about these things,
but knowing the exact answers fascinates me.
And it feels great.
I see.
There are so many things in this world to learn about.
And most of them are so fun to learn about.
I'm going to live as long as I can to learn all those things.
Oh, right. How about I do your hair?
You have to wait for Mr. Geum anyway.
No. That's okay. It's not necessary.
Why?
I've done it for Min Hee, Min Ah's family, and Sang Min.
I'm good at what I do.
It's not like that. There's a place I go to as a regular.
I have a sensitive scalp.
I see.
Since I've aged, I'm starting to get a little slow in hand movements.
So I want to do it for you while I can.
All right then. I promise you I'll do it for you one day, okay?
Sure. Thank you.
- Oh, my. Mr. Geum. - Ms. Kang.
- Hey, you're here. - Yes, Dad.
Give me a second, Sang Gu. How are you feeling?
I'm fine.
He always checks if I'm feeling well.
It's one of his habits.
Go on and have lunch. You must be hungry.
Why don't you join us? You don't mind, do you?
Sure. That's fine by me.
No, you two go ahead. I can order delivery food...
or eat at home.
I don't want to ruin your alone time with your loving son.
- Come on. - Will you eat alone?
Then please join us.
Oh, I... Really?
- Yes. - Really?
Join us.
- Well, if that's okay, I'll... - Of course.
I'll leave once I finish my food so you two can have a chat.
Give me just a minute. I have to go to the restroom.
Sure.
Hey, this is great. I was worried that she'd eat alone.
Right. I came because I didn't want to be left out.
It's not like I have something to discuss with you.
I don't mind eating with her.
Good. Thank you for letting her join us.
Hey, help me clean up here.
Okay.
Do you still like her that much?
Do you really want to eat...
all three meals a day with her when you see her every day?
Of course. She's my wife, you know.
It's natural for me to miss her even though I see her every day.
I didn't know you could say something like that.
You should know how precious your life is.
Try to spend as much time as you can with your wife.
You've been good to her, right?
Of course. She acts like a queen at home now.
She seems so happy since I told her that I like her.
Be good to her.
If being good to your wife can make her happy,
you should be good to her.
I mean you two live together to be happy together.
You're right.
Really? Are you sure?
Are you saying that you're giving me a chance too?
Yes, I want to do so.
The last time we met,
I could see how much you understood the story and the characters.
I want you to play that role.
But as you must know, I don't have a say in casting.
Director Geum makes the decision,
so I'm just recommending you to audition for the role.
I know. And I'm so grateful for this opportunity.
Above all, this is my favorite character.
But I'm pretty sure that Sang Gu won't cast me.
Well, he doesn't tell me to give up on acting anymore.
But still, he said he didn't want to work with me.
I tried to sound him out this morning too.
It seemed clear that he didn't want to cast me.
I see.
Actually, I suggested this to him.
He said that even if you get cast through a fair casting process,
people will probably think otherwise.
I know. There's nothing we can do to stop that.
But still...
I feel honored that you considered giving me the role.
Please give me a role...
in your next drama that isn't directed by Geum Sang Gu.
Wait. I still want you to give it a try at least.
Ms. Dating Master.
You did a great job at giving others dating tips today.
Please go home and get some rest.
What's wrong with you? You made me do that.
I usually don't talk about personal matters with my colleagues.
And you made me meddle in his matter.
Then why are you upset about it?
I don't know. I feel upset for some reason.
I mean you have the answers for every possible situation,
and you dated enough men to learn all those.
On one hand, I think I may be just jealous.
On the other hand, I wonder if you use your knowledge to outsmart me.
I feel like you're just toying with me.
You've gone too far.
You never felt bad when you talked about your ex-girlfriend.
But back then, we were not together.
Whenever I see you, those countless men you dated...
I can't stop thinking about them.
Gosh. I'm really not this type of man.
I'm cool about stuff like this. You know that, don't you?
I'm not the type that can't accept his girlfriend's past.
Don't laugh.
I'm very disappointed about my reactions.
Come on. Don't be like that. Past is past.
I'm telling you, you're the one I like now.
That's it?
It's true.
Oh, please. That's not good enough to prove it.
I'm not lying.
Come on. You have to at least do this...
Why?
I thought it was my fault. I blamed myself and regretted it.
- We might get caught. - I never...
Gosh. I'm so tired.
Do you need anything?
I came out to get some water.
- I... - Let me. I'll bring it to you.
Okay. Please sit down.
Is Ms. Kang sleeping? She goes to bed early these days.
Yes. I think she lacks energy.
Right. I think so too. I'll get her something to boost her energy.
You must be tired too.
I'm fine. You guys work all day long as well. Don't worry.
I'll give you a massage.
Oh, my. You... Goodness.
You have such tight muscles in your shoulders.
They're even harder than they were the last time I gave you a massage.
Have you been busy with your work?
Well... I had to finish some work all at once.
It feels great. You're really good at massage.
Right? Ms. Kang says I'm the best in this family.
She says Geu Roo has no skills, Da Bal is too strong,
and Sol only tickles her. So I'm the best.
She's right. You're the best.
- I'll put this in your bedroom. - That's okay. Put it on the table.
Okay.
Mr. Geum, are your eyes healthy?
I bought a lot of eye health supplements.
Take it with Ms. Kang before you go to bed.
I'll bring you right now. I'm finishing up.
That's okay. We're fine.
Take the supplements. She bought a lot.
What a shame.
She's a perfect daughter-in-law material.
What?
If she wasn't our in-law...
She's too good for you though.
But still, if she wasn't our in-law...
I would at least try to ask her to give you a chance.
Oh, boy. What a shame.
Okay then.
Don't cry.
You know, I was going to tell you.
I felt bad too.
Whenever we exercised together in the morning,
I tried to find the right moment to tell you.
I mean even Ga Eun knew about this? I was the only one who didn't know?
Ga Eun figured it out by herself. She's quick-witted, you know.
Also, it's not that I wanted to keep this from you.
I didn't want Mom to find out.
You know how much she wants us to get married soon.
You can just tell even though she tries to hide it.
Imagine that she finds out about me dating our neighbor.
She would never leave me alone.
I didn't want to deal with such a situation.
What does telling me have to do with keeping it from Mom?
You might have told her accidentally while chatting with her.
You often tell a secret unintentionally.
Anyway, you're saying that you two are an item now, right?
I can't believe you two. Right in front of the house...
Gosh, stop it. "An item"? We're not little kids.
Listen. You'd better watch your mouth at home, okay?
I think you two are the ones who should watch your mouths.
I mean regardless of the place, you would just...
Tell me the details while exercising tomorrow, my future brother-in-law.
What? Did she just call me "her future brother-in-law"?
Gosh. What's wrong with her? Seriously.
No. It's not what you're thinking.
Yes, Mom.
Yes, we're going to eat now.
What about you?
Okay.
- Let me talk to her too. - Hold on.
Mother, it's me, Min Ah.
The preparation is coming along nicely.
You'll come to the grand opening, right?
Right. Yes.
Oh, right now?
I'm going to buy some jelly.
No, I don't eat sweets often.
I only eat some when I crave it so much.
Yes. Then I'll see you then.
Yes, Mother.
Hey. My mom will attend the grand opening too, right?
Yes. But she'll be late because she'll meet someone first.
She said she'll call my mom.
By the way, what are you looking at?
- I have enough hairpins. - This is for Honey Jar.
How about you and our baby put on the same hairpins?
No. This one is too colorful. It's too childish for me.
That's not true. You're so cute that you look great with anything.
I want you and our little girl to put this on the hair like this.
You two will look so cute.
Well, I think we'll look cute.
Hang on. What if it's a boy?
I told you it's a girl. I'm sure of it.
And if it's a boy...
That wouldn't be a problem. Put this on anyway.
Really? Then...
You should put this on too. All three of us will put it on.
- All three of us? - Yes.
- Then let's buy these and jelly. - Okay.
Oh, right. Where's In Seo?
He'll come to the restaurant. Let's go.
Wait.
Why?
Okay. This one is for Mother.
Oh, my. You're so sweet. Let's go.
Dad, why aren't you coming?
Hey.
Mom will get off work shortly, but you didn't come.
You said we'd eat out for dinner.
Oh, right. I forgot about that.
My goodness. I lost track of time.
Oh, my. Father, the restaurant is so clean.
Indeed. Have you been cleaning here repeatedly?
Yes.
I keep getting anxious.
I felt so confident and hopeful when I left home this morning.
I think that I should put off the grand opening.
There's something I learned from running a business before.
If you hold a grand opening too soon,
customers would stop coming after the first few months.
That's why you should have a soft opening to let people know...
that there's a new restaurant opening in town soon...
and to find out what to fix or improve before the grand opening.
I think I got impatient and rushed it too much.
Dad.
You're wrong. You prepared enough for the grand opening.
He's right. We already promoted this place on the internet.
You'll get a lot of customers. Don't worry.
Right. It'll work out, right?
Yes, it will.
Oh, right. You guys should deliver rice cakes tomorrow morning.
Of course. I'll visit every place to hand the gifts out.
- Dad, it'll work out. Cheer up. - Cheer up.
- Thank you. - You've got this.
- Thanks. I'll cheer up. - Dad, you're awesome.
(Daddy's)
- You're back. - Yes, I'm back.
- Why? - Well...
I think I should tell you too now.
I'm seeing Geu Roo.
What? You're seeing her?
Well... I mean I'm dating her.
She's my girlfriend, and I'm her boyfriend.
No, it's more serious than that. We're lovers.
Oh, I see.
What? Are you surprised? Or did you know about us?
What's with that reaction?
Congratulations. You two make a cute couple.
Right. Thank you for your simple reaction.
Oh, right. Ji Wan, don't tell anyone at work about this.
That's the fun of an office romance, you know.
All right.
By the way, are you seeing anyone?
I hope you meet a nice girl.
Well...
Ji Wan, you have to reach out first in the end.
Geu Roo made me chase her for such a long time.
What I'm saying is that whoever you may find,
you have to be aggressive to win her heart.
Got it?
Are you advising me because you have a girlfriend now?
I'm just trying to help you.
Cheer up. Never give up.
Give up on what?
Whatever it is.
You can do it.
Aren't you going to sleep?
What? Well, I can't fall asleep.
My goodness. I'm dying to tell Mom. She'll be so happy.
What is it?
What? It's nothing.
I'd tell you if it's about me, but it's about someone else.
But I'm sure you'll find out soon.
Okay then. Go to sleep now.
Okay.
I'm getting so excited.
I'll just drink one can of beer and go to bed. Good night.
There.
- What? - What?
- Oh, my. - Da Bal.
There must be some beer thief in my house.
Whenever I buy some, it's all gone the next day.
I'm pretty sure it's Ga Eun.
She can drink a lot unlike how she may look.
We're drinking together after all.
I felt bad that day because I couldn't drink with you.
Right.
I heard you like drinking beer after work.
Yi Jae told me.
I guess you came out to buy some after working really hard.
Yes.
I see.
Actually, I was frustrated.
I see.
What? Why? Did something bad happen?
You see...
Whenever I eat delicious food or go to a nice place,
I think of you.
"She would like this so much."
I wish you were there with me.
At first, I thought I was just grateful to you.
If it hadn't been for you,
I would still be awkward around Yi Jae.
So I thought I wanted to do something nice for you...
to show my gratitude to you.
That's what I thought at first.
But I realized it wasn't the case.
You became special.
You became...
someone special for me.
Da Bal.
What do I mean to you?
Well...
(Be My Dream Family)
