(Episode 1)
Where are you going, Grandma?
What? Oh, sorry, did I wake you up?
Where are you going so early in the morning?
Go back to sleep.
You still have some time until you go to school.
Are you going to the temple again to pray for Jae Seok?
I made dried pollack soup. Eat some before going to school.
Don't go to school on an empty stomach, okay?
Why did you get up? Hey.
It's the anniversary of my school today. I'm not going to school.
Then you should go back to sleep.
That's okay. I'll go with you. Give me just a minute.
That's not necessary. I'm still healthy enough to go alone.
- I'm off. See you later. - Come on.
Why...
Then at least put this muffler around your neck.
It's still quite chilly in the early morning.
Oh, okay. Thanks.
Gosh. This muffler surely kept me warm throughout the winter.
It's so warm.
I'll knit you a nice sweater as well next time.
- All right. - Oh, right, your medication.
Did you take it this morning?
Of course, I did.
Go back in and get back to sleep.
- I'll get going now. - Okay.
Be safe, Grandma.
Okay.
(New Year's Wish Lanterns, offering prayers)
Please help my grandson succeed.
(Gamgok, Suwon)
No, stop. Wait, please.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
(The 2nd round of the bar exam for 2014, you can do it!)
I've been doing well until now.
I just have to do well for another day.
Let's go.
(The 2nd round of the bar exam for 2014, you can do it!)
Oh, hey, Jae Seok!
Jae Seok!
Hey, Dong Hee. Don't run. You might trip and fall.
What's the matter? Did something come up at home?
No.
I brought you this. Take this with you.
What's this? A lunchbox?
Yes.
Did you come all the way here just to give me this?
Yes.
You didn't have to do this. I could buy something to eat.
Of course, you could buy something to eat.
But I wanted to do this for you.
It was the only thing I could do for you.
How sweet.
Thank you, my little sister.
How's Grandma? Is she well?
She's doing well. She went to the temple this morning too.
Why? Because of me?
Goodness, you. You're feeling burdened again.
You don't have to feel that way, Jae Seok.
What's family for?
Shouldn't family members help each other in times like this?
You're right.
That's what family is for. Absolutely.
Get some rest in my room.
Auntie told me to come over for dinner after the exam.
- Let's go together. - Okay.
Oh, you might be late. Hurry up. What time is it now?
I'll eat this and pass the exam.
I'd be grateful if you did. You've got this!
I've got this!
Have a good day.
(Visitors, welcome. Please prepare your ID card.)
Kang Cha Yeol.
What are you doing here?
Get in.
Who told you that I was being discharged?
Does that matter?
I mean, I'm grateful that you came to pick me up.
But people might get the wrong idea.
They might think you're my girlfriend.
Let them think what they want. I don't care.
You might end up staying single forever. Be careful.
Then you should marry me. That'd solve the problem.
Stop it.
By the way, didn't you leave Korea to study abroad?
I thought you had left after graduation.
Do you want to go with me?
What's with you? You're acting weird.
You've changed a lot.
Stop being difficult. Let's go somewhere to eat some food.
I made a reservation. Steak sounds good, right?
You still do things as you please. That hasn't changed.
Why? You don't want to eat it?
I'll find something on the menu.
It's rude to be a no-show, you know.
(Mom)
I know what she was going to say.
She probably wants to go shopping or to a sauna with me.
Let's eat something else.
I can let my friends eat at the restaurant instead of us.
What should we eat? What do you want to eat?
Well...
Hold on.
(Dad)
Yes, Dad.
I just got out.
Congratulations on your discharge.
You'll go straight home, right?
No, I'm going to have lunch with my friend before going home.
Why?
Your mom must be waiting for you to come home and eat with her.
Is she?
Cancel the plans with your friend,
and go straight home today.
I'll go home right after taking care of...
urgent matters at work. Okay?
Yes, Dad. I'll do that.
Yes.
I'll see you at home.
I'm really sorry.
Are you really sorry?
I'll make a reservation next time.
Make sure to keep that promise.
Make a right turn over there.
Okay.
I'm home.
I'm home...
You look fabulous. It's perfect.
You look great in a double-breasted jacket.
Just in a double-breasted jacket?
I mean, you look exceptionally great in it.
I'll convince your dad to replace the model with you.
Forget it. I'm not interested in working in that field.
I just don't want you to waste your talent.
By the way...
Isn't this too dressy for work?
Not at all.
Let's get a few more shirts and ties...
and go for lunch.
But Cha Yeol must be home by now.
He's not a child.
He'll probably meet some friends before going home.
Since it's been a while, let's go somewhere far...
to get some fresh air and have lunch.
You'll be too busy to eat with me when you start working.
Okay, then.
Great. Let's get going.
(Mom)
What is it today?
Shopping? Or a sauna?
Wait just for a while. I'm on my way up.
No. Don't come up.
What do you mean by that?
- Search every nook and cranny. - She has so many designer purses.
Some creditors barged into our house.
Creditors?
But we don't have any debt.
I don't know what's going on either.
Your dad's company has gone bankrupt.
- What? - So...
just run away, so you can at least keep your car.
They're determined to take away everything we have, even the silverware.
- Hello? Seung Ju. - These are all designer goods.
- Seung Ju. Hey, answer me. - Look at this.
- Can I have just this one? - Not a chance. Let go.
No. You can't take that.
These clothes are mine. You can't take them.
None of these belong to you.
Do you know how much money we lent your husband?
One million dollars. That's a lot of money.
Whether it's one million or ten,
it was my husband who borrowed your money, not me.
You wench, you're so brazen.
Besides, what are you going to do with my clothes?
Do you seriously think that you can fit in these?
Know your place, will you?
Lose some weight if you want them!
Give them back. They're mine.
Are you done?
You messed with the wrong person.
Go ahead and keep talking.
I should know my place?
I should lose some weight if I want them?
Who are you to call me fat, you wench?
How dare you?
- Let go of my hair! - You little...
What are you doing right now?
Who are you?
Get out this instant. Right now!
Oh, I see.
You must be Baek Jong Pil's daughter that he went on about.
Leave immediately.
Or I'll call the police.
I heard that you'd traveled overseas during school breaks,
saying it'd help you become a designer.
Do you know whose money you spent on your trips?
It was our money.
Is this the police? I'm calling...
Have you lost your mind?
I should be calling the police, not you.
When you see your dad, make sure to tell him...
that hiding won't solve anything, and he must come to see us.
Understood?
Tell him to repay us immediately.
- That was my hard-earned money. - No, that's mine.
Hey, that's mine. Stop. You can't take that.
- Mom, stop it. - Let go.
What happened?
Why would Dad's company go bankrupt?
How would I know?
If you don't know, then who else would know?
Dad must have told you something.
You know that your dad never told me about his worries.
He tossed and turned, saying it was hard to sell studio apartment units.
But I never knew that things would get this messy.
(My husband)
Honey, where are you?
What? In a detention cell?
- Don't get up. - Oh, great.
- Sit down. - Okay.
There.
You made a feast. You didn't have to do this.
Of course, I made a feast.
It's food for a future judge or prosecutor.
Oh, boy. Mom is going overboard again.
- What if he fails? - Gosh, that punk.
Why would you think he might fail? Believe he'll pass.
- Right? - Yes.
Eat up, Jae Seok. Dong Hee, you too. Eat a lot.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
It looks so good.
Do you think you did well on the exam?
I'm not sure although I did my best.
Don't you worry.
I had a really good dream last night.
I'm sure you will pass the exam.
You had a good dream?
What kind of dream?
Mom, sell me that dream, so I can win a lottery.
Goodness, you. This is why you can never be successful.
It hurts.
You've learned nothing from Jae Seok, have you?
Yes, I have. Of course, I have learned something.
You have? What did you learn from him?
That I'll be able to benefit from knowing a judge or a prosecutor,
and that I can just call Jae Seok if I get myself into trouble.
Goodness, you.
The seaweed soup I ate after giving birth to you went down the drain.
You ate it to regain your health, not for my sake.
Just tell us about your dream.
You shouldn't ask about it.
Anyway, if you do become a judge, you owe it all to my dream.
- I understand. - My gosh.
You're trying to ride on his coattails.
Whatever it is, it'd be great if he passes the exam.
I heard that they're getting rid of the bar exam soon.
Dong Hee, you're doing well in school too, right?
I'm not as smart as Jae Seok.
She got the second highest score in the school on the midterm exam.
- That's amazing. - Impressive. She's so smart.
It would've been better if she had gotten the highest score.
It's because of math. Math is always the problem.
That's not a problem.
Now that the exam ended, Jae Seok can teach you math.
I was going to ask him to teach me during my school break.
Both of you are really incredible.
It's hard to do so well even when your parents support you.
You grew up just fine without parents as well.
Come on. You and Myung Sook took care of me instead of them.
It's the same for us.
We were able to make it this far thanks to Grandma.
How's my mom's health?
Does she still have breathlessness as she used to?
She says she's fine.
But I'm not sure.
She would never let you know even if she's sick.
So Dong Hee, keep a close watch on her.
I'll do that.
Stop talking and eat up.
- Okay. - Okay.
By the way, why hasn't Ja Young come yet?
Did you not tell her to come?
She said she was too busy to come.
Did you two have a fight again?
Yes. What?
I mean, no, we didn't.
It's not like we argue all the time.
Just end it if you're going to keep living like that.
Come on, honey. The kids are listening.
Eat up, you guys.
- Yes. - Okay.
I'm so hungry.
I'm home.
Dad, you're home.
Hey, you're here.
My, you look so fit and healthy.
I guess military life suited me.
You silly.
Where's your mom?
Honey.
I'm home. Won't you come out to welcome me back?
She just stepped out.
Where did she go at this hour?
Well... I don't know that much.
Hold on. What's this smell?
Did you eat ramyeon?
Yes, I got a little hungry.
What about lunch? Didn't your mom prepare your lunch?
Yes, she did. I had lunch.
Guys my age get hungry so often, you know.
I'm so tired.
Oh, my. Honey, you came home early.
What is wrong with you?
Oh, right. Cha Yeol, you were being discharged today.
I'm so sorry.
It happens a lot. I'm so forgetful.
You should've called me when you came home.
You're so inflexible.
Are you blaming Cha Yeol?
You know what I mean.
Is it strange that I forgot about his discharge?
Or is it strange that he didn't call me?
Cha Yeol, you tell me.
Is it me or you who is stranger than the other?
You're right. I'm sorry.
See?
Cha Yeol admitted that he was at fault.
Stop making excuses and prepare dinner now.
Must your son eat ramyeon on the day of his discharge?
Gosh, seriously.
We have so much food at home.
Why did you have to eat ramyeon?
I just felt like eating it.
But your dad blames me for that too.
It's been a while.
I'm sorry I couldn't visit you, not even once.
You understand, don't you?
I didn't even expect you to.
Why didn't you meet some friends before coming home?
I know.
I thought Mom might have changed a little bit.
I felt more comfortable in the military.
Then I'll get going, Grandma.
Okay.
You said you'd be back at the end of the break?
Yes, I'm planning to.
But are you sure you'll be okay alone?
Of course, I'll be fine. Why wouldn't I be?
Oh, right.
Here. Spend it while you're there.
Go to a nice restaurant with Jae Seok with this money.
But this is too much. I don't need it, Grandma.
It's not that much. Here. Put it in your pocket.
Hey, hurry up and leave. You might miss your bus.
Here. This and... Take this one with you too.
Then I'll get going now, Grandma.
Don't forget to take your medications.
And call me if anything happens.
My goodness. Yes, I'll do that.
Don't worry about me and focus on your studies.
- I'm off, Grandma. - Go on.
Thank you. Bye.
- Don't come out. - Okay.
- Dong Hee. - Jae Seok.
I told you not to come out.
You would've had to walk for ten minutes carrying all these.
- I'll carry one of them. - That's okay.
- Let's go. - Come on.
I'll carry this one.
Okay.
- Did you bring just one bag? - Yes.
There's a lot in there.
It's better than I expected.
What's wrong?
I just saw... There was a cockroach.
Did you catch it?
How could I catch it?
I can't catch a cockroach without bug spray.
I'll go out and get one.
No, wait.
Bug spray is not the issue.
Go somewhere and borrow some money.
I don't think I can keep living in a place like this.
All your friends are rich.
They don't know that we went bankrupt.
Then they'll be even more willing to help you out.
How could you say that to me?
You have so many rich and powerful friends.
Then why would you tell me to borrow money from my friends?
I wouldn't consider them my friends.
Besides, why didn't you do anything?
Had you moved the house to under your name,
things wouldn't have gotten this messy.
I'm not a fortuneteller or a prophet.
I didn't know this would happen just as I told you.
The same goes for Dad.
How could he let it happen without a backup plan?
Did he really not have any slush funds?
If you want to know it that badly, go and ask him yourself.
He seemed disappointed because you didn't visit him.
I'm the one who should be disappointed.
I'm so disappointed in Dad who put us in this situation.
Come on. Find someone you can borrow money from.
Or at least sell your car!
I'm hungry. Shall we buy some food on our way home?
You skipped your breakfast, didn't you?
Shall I make soybean paste stew?
Grandma packed some soybean paste as well.
If it's Grandma's soybean paste, I'd definitely love to have it.
This is great. I'm tired of restaurant food.
Then go home without me. I'll buy some vegetables here.
I'll go with you and pay for the groceries.
No, that's okay.
Grandma gave me enough money for us to eat delicious food.
Hey, are you Baek Seung Ju, by any chance?
You really are Seung Ju.
My goodness. It's been a long time.
I haven't seen you in a year.
Have you been well?
Yes.
Have you been well too?
Well, I've been doing okay.
I took the second round of exam, but the result hasn't come out yet.
I see. I hope you get a good result.
Thank you.
By the way, what brings you here?
Did you move to this neighborhood?
Well, yes.
Jae Seok, I should go now. I'm in a hurry.
Oh, okay. Go on, then.
Call me when you're free.
Let's eat together some time.
Who was that?
Hey, you're back already.
Who is she? Why were you looking at her like that?
Is she your crush?
Gosh, no. It's not like that.
Come on. Stop lying.
- Who is she? - I said it wasn't like that.
- Just tell me who she is. - Stop asking about her.
Is everything okay?
Sorry?
I'm fine. Why?
Then why aren't you eating?
What's wrong? You don't like your steak?
Then order something else.
No. That's okay. Leave it.
It's good.
What's going on out there?
I guess someone triggered the alarm by mistake.
This won't do.
Let's go somewhere else.
I mean, the noise is quite distracting,
and you don't seem to like your steak so much.
Okay, then.
Excuse me. Does your license plate number end with 1573?
Yes. Why?
What are you doing to that car?
It's been a while.
(Bravo, My Life)
I really wanted to keep it from you.
Friends can tell each other anything.
Do you still have feelings for me?
What? Is that Jae Seok?
- Gosh. What is it? - Were you always like this?
Where are you going to take photos?
- A thief! - What?
A thief! He's a thief!
