(Episode 63)
(Gong Gye Ok)
I can't reach it.
Geez.
Mom, are you all right?
What about So Young?
I missed her.
I'm sure she'll come back soon.
Okay.
You can go now.
Where did she get the car?
She's not even a good driver.
The number you have dialed is not available. Please leave...
So Young, where are you?
What?
I mean, I maintained the speed limit.
She just crashed into my car from behind!
Come here quickly.
I'm really busy tonight, so please hurry.
Sure.
So Young!
So Young.
Gye Ok!
Gye Ok.
Are you hurt?
I didn't do anything wrong.
That car just drove towards me.
But that person kept yelling at me.
It's okay, So Young.
I'll take care of it.
She's my little sister!
I'm sorry. Are you all right?
My car isn't all right.
Gosh, I don't have time for this.
I called insurance.
Sorry. Please bear with us.
By the way, where did you get the car?
One of the sons from that family bought it for me.
Who?
Sul Ak?
I see.
He offered it to me first...
on the condition that I never come find you.
He told me to tell him if I need anything.
I only asked him for a small car because of my conscience.
I needed it too.
Okay. Good.
I'm sorry.
You must've hated me so much.
You must've loathed me.
I'm sorry for hating you.
I'm sorry I didn't notice how you felt.
Why aren't they here yet?
(Buruna Noodles)
Where have you been so early?
I got some lunchboxes from the convenience store.
When is our stepmom coming back?
She will take a while.
So you wanted to go to the escape room?
Yes, when are you free?
I have to give 2 or 3-day notice to take a day off work.
We could go on the weekends.
All right. Schedule a time with Ga On.
It's becoming odd by the day.
What is?
The atmosphere in this house.
So Young.
So Young's not here.
Yes, I told her to go see a doctor.
You never know with car accidents.
I'm so relieved that nobody got hurt.
Jang Won, have some riceballs before going to school.
Riceballs! Did you make them, Grandma?
Yes.
I added salmons that you like so much.
Wow, things are certainly different when Aunt is here.
You should hurry and eat it. You're going to be late.
By the way, where did Mom get that car all of a sudden...
and got into an accident on her first drive?
She didn't scab off you, did she?
Jang Won, is that how you talk to your mom...
who got into an accident?
Well, she didn't get hurt.
Sorry.
Jang Won!
Mr. Boo!
You must've been disappointed.
I don't know how to face you.
Tell me what you came here to say and leave.
I'm not in the mood to talk to you face to face.
But Gye Ok wouldn't answer me even if I grill her.
So I'm sitting here to listen to you out of frustration.
Well,
here.
What is it?
(Marriage contract)
A contract?
What is this?
"Fake..."
"Fake marriage"?
"A total of 300,000 dollars."
What is this about?
It was all a lie.
It was fabricated.
Then are you saying Gye Ok pretended...
to be your wife in exchange for money?
Oh, my goodness.
What is all this?
I wasn't thinking straight.
I was furious about my sons,
so I went overboard because I wanted to annoy them...
and teach them a lesson.
What are you talking about?
What's wrong with your sons?
Their conversation is taking a long time.
Mom would freak out even more if she sees the contract.
I understand how you feel.
But why did it have to be my daughter?
I didn't have any other intention.
Since your daughter is a good person and in a difficult situation,
I thought we have nothing to lose.
I expected things to end soon,
so I told her that it'd be best if she doesn't tell you.
I don't know what to say.
So you're saying this contact has been terminated?
I can't ease your startled...
and wounded heart now,
but I will stop this act from here.
I kindly ask for your forgiveness.
I don't know if I can,
but I'm glad you lived like strangers...
without registering the marriage.
Then...
you will never see my daughter again, right?
Why won't you answer me?
Don't show up in front of her again.
All right.
I owe a lot to your daughter.
Then I'll be off.
Mr. Boo.
You should go inside.
I'll be in touch!
Mom.
Mom!
It's all over now.
You know everything now?
Yes.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you beforehand.
But why did you tear this up?
So you want to continue doing this?
We settled this.
He promised to forget this ever happened and never see you again.
Mom.
Why?
Do you feel reluctant because of the money?
Or are you already emotionally attached to him?
That's not it.
Mr. Boo is like a savior and a father to me.
What is wrong with you?
I was angry like you when I first heard...
of the fake marriage.
But...
I thought what it would have been like without this...
and I was afraid he would cancel this contract.
I started by biting the bullet,
but he really needed me.
That's why I liked it there.
As I was of help...
and gave someone support.
You're too good-hearted.
Although...
I looked like a gold digger sucking up to an old man,
thanks to Mr. Boo,
I realized I wasn't useless...
and that someone needed me.
Not just that.
He found a way for me to survive...
and taught me what a parent is,
what a child is, and what a family is like.
I want to do whatever I can for Mr. Boo.
So what are you going to do?
But this is not possible, Gye Ok.
You can help in other ways.
This is about marriage.
Pour in a bit more soup.
Okay.
On exceptionally hot days like today,
they may be thirsty, so pour in plenty.
Okay.
How's the meat after changing the vendor?
They're aged quite well and different in quality too.
All right.
- Goodbye. - Okay.
Let Min Joo do as she pleases.
It's fine as long as someone succeeds Buruna Noodles, isn't it?
If you don't want it,
I have no choice.
You're irritating, so can you take three steps back?
Are you really going to act like this?
What are you on about?
Is this the military?
Why are you speaking like a soldier suddenly? I feel awkward.
I told you I will make an effort.
Then are you not going to teach me how to debone?
Come on, Bo Mi.
Fine.
You're not the only butcher.
Of course, there are many.
But try to find a beautiful butcher...
who teaches you skills without pay.
My stepmom is also a butcher.
Right. Then go to your stepmom...
What?
Did your dad remarry?
When?
You don't need to know that.
If you don't want to teach me, then fine.
I'll just ask my stepmom to teach me.
Hey.
Put these gloves on.
Are we starting? Are you going to teach me?
Instead, it's not free.
Because it's going against my efforts to dislike you.
Bring a lesson fee or deduct my monthly rent.
All right.
Then I will take you home every day.
What?
Why?
We said we both will make an effort.
I want to fall for you.
I'm going to start now.
Okay.
No.
Put pressure here...
and cut through there first.
Like this?
- Yes. - Here?
Yes, there.
That's it.
I think I'm good at it.
You're starting to copy it well.
- You're here! - Hello.
But will you go home soon?
No.
Why are you wearing that?
- Just leave it. I'll do that. - No.
Bo Mi. What are you doing in the kitchen?
Han Ra is cleaning the dishes, and I'm going to cut green onions.
Really? Then I'll cut the green onions.
Can you take Han Ra to clean the sign outside?
There's a lot of dirt on it. I'm not tall enough to reach.
Okay. We'll do it.
Also, when you leave work, can you gather all the grills?
Are you going to clean them?
The soot won't come off, so it all needs to be cleaned.
Han Ra and I will do that.
Forget it. You just do your job.
Thank you.
(Chairman Kim from Pyeongchang-dong)
Seriously!
This is driving me crazy.
I can't hear him calling.
Yes, Chairman.
I was going to reach out to you first.
"Stop sweet-talking and send the money."
"I gave you enough days for repayment."
"Our relationship is starting to fall apart."
These are the words to you from Chairman Kim.
I can't breathe if the chairman tightens up too.
I even gave my apartment as collateral to CEO Han.
Secretary Park. Please deliver this well.
He said: "If it's under collateral, then give me my money first."
Of course.
I will pay pack his money as quickly and accurately as possible.
Please give me one more week.
Yes. Thank you.
I tried to invest in a movie but it's going into thin air.
The market is smashed,
and the exchange rate is going up and down.
This is driving me up the wall.
That woman was furious, grabbed her, and went straight out.
- She was furious? - Yes.
Goodness. Good grief!
Good grief. You've been blessed.
It's too early for that.
You said her mother jumped up with anger and dragged her out.
Unless they're both frauds, she wouldn't let her come back.
Nothing's certain until they sign the divorce paper.
I'll try to persuade Father well.
You're right.
Parents are those who sacrifice for their children.
No matter how precious his remaining life is,
he shouldn't let his children bear regrets. For sure.
By the way,
I guess Min Joo will not mention divorce for some time.
Since a problem cropped up somewhere else,
it seems that Father cannot afford to care about this.
Crises present opportunities, so your father-in-law...
should make a good decision and resolve this family matter.
Hey, get down on your knees and try begging him.
- Like this? - Yes.
I love how it's so cool here.
I know.
It's good to see people around in a while.
They all look so happy.
Things are like that when seen from a distance.
We might look happy in their eyes too.
Did you meet Dad?
He said he'll quit it.
That he'll call the whole thing off.
And?
It's the right thing to do considering my mom,
but I'm worried.
People spoke ill of him when he got married...
treating him like a senile old man.
Once people find out it had been fabricated,
how would his children react to it?
Don't worry since I'm here for you.
You can think about yourself first.
I heard you bought a car for So Young.
I'm sorry.
It wasn't the time for me to tell you.
I understand.
Thank you.
I'll make sure to pay back for the car.
In monthly installments...
for a long period of time.
I thought I was a victim,
but it was actually my sister.
What do you mean by that?
I thought I knew her well as she was my family.
I was bitter as they didn't seem to know my feelings.
But I didn't know about their feelings either.
I didn't know what gave So Young a hard time...
or what hurt her.
My sister...
could've had a more beautiful and happy life...
if it weren't for me.
It's not your fault.
The world is ironic, isn't it?
I felt warm all over because of my family,
but that hurt someone's heart.
I felt the same way.
About what?
I wanted to be...
a good dad to Ga On and make a family for her...
but that left an indelible scar in my dad's heart.
Ga On is your daughter.
What do you mean by being a dad and making a family for her?
Isn't that natural?
Should we get going now?
Take a photo of me.
Stand there.
This is a new phone. It has a better pixel.
Stand over there.
Okay.
In 1, 2, 3!
- Let me see. - I sent it to you.
Not so good. I look better than this in real life.
Do you mean that?
What's the straight face for?
I asked you as I felt the same way.
Are you sullen?
Why would I be?
Yes, you are.
- No, I'm not. - I'm sure you are.
What are you doing?
How can I live in this house when Gye Ok is here too?
It'll be uncomfortable.
I'll take care of the car accident I caused.
I'm sorry.
I was mean.
You're right.
I took care of Gye Ok...
because I didn't want people to call me a bad stepmom.
But...
you were on my mind too.
I thought you'll understand as you are my daughter.
Even if I didn't care for you a lot, I thought you'll be less hurt.
But I was wrong.
You were young too.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
Don't cry.
It's because I'm not a good enough mother.
You two had a hard time as I was an incompetent mom.
I'm sorry.
It must've been harder for you.
I feel sorry for you too.
And I wanted to do something for you.
I wanted to show you I could make it happen.
But I was unlucky and incapable.
I acted like that because I hated being such a fool.
I understand.
Stop crying.
I don't like it when you cry. Stop now.
Mom.
Hello. Jung Gwon.
Did you get off work?
Yes. We should meet up. Can you make time today?
I'm kind of tired today as I just came back from outside.
What about Min Joo?
She'll be late due to the gathering with the co-op of shopkeepers.
Can you pop over to our house?
It's New Castle in Icheon-dong.
Okay. I'll call you when I get there.
Good. See you then.
I just can't figure this out.
Who came over to our house?
Would Jung Gwon know about this?
What is it, Dad?
You heard that I went over to see her mom, didn't you?
Yes.
Now that things have come to this, I need to clarify something.
You should answer me truthfully.
Okay. What is it?
I've been watching over you two.
I turned a blind eye although I suspected it.
But is it Gye Ok...
who is in your heart?
(Brilliant Heritage)
Ga On. You told me to make a girlfriend.
Is there really someone?
Sul Ak. What happened to Stepmom?
Gye Ok came over to the house.
My mom's name is also Gong Gye Ok.
You don't need to think about anything.
I'll do the thinking.
- Can I use the bathroom? - Sure.
How does he know it's there?
Could it be... Jung Gwon?
