(Episode 8)
What should we do now?
We should go home.
That's right.
We ended it.
There's nothing to do now.
I should go.
Bye.
Goodbye, my first love.
You should go to Yeon Ha instead of wandering around.
He found a new love.
Honey, are you sleeping?
If you're not, do you want to have a drink with me?
Come on, I'm just trying to be romantic for once.
(Wan)
When the spring breeze blows
And the cherry blossoms fall
To cover the streets
We'll walk together
When the spring breeze blows
And the cherry blossoms fall
To cover the streets
We'll walk together
Can you take care of this first?
- Sure. - Thank you.
What is our meeting again?
We have 40 minutes.
Why are you still rushing to get ready for it now?
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
You guys have to get your act together.
What brings you here?
I was just passing by.
Can you give me some coffee? Or are you too busy?
I'll give you coffee no matter how busy I am. Come this way.
Can you prepare a cup for her? I don't need one.
- Okay. - This way.
Please take a seat.
It's messy, right?
This is impossible. It's messy no matter how much I clean.
Shall we go to the meeting room? Follow me.
When the writers arrive, make sure to host them.
- Yes. - Okay.
We have a new book coming out, so it's really hectic...
You jerk.
How dare you touch my daughter?
Do you think she's easy because she's a widow's child?
- Ma'am. - You little...
- How dare you do that to Wan? - Ma'am.
- Ma'am, hold on. - Ma'am.
- Hold on. - Ma'am, please stop.
- Ma'am. - Please don't.
Please calm down.
I think you have a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
- You have a wife! - Ma'am.
- Please calm down.
How could you?
- How dare you touch my daughter? - Calm down.
- Are you all right? - Are you okay?
- Ma'am, please hold on. - Ma'am.
Yes, Hye Min.
What about Director Han?
He went to the hospital on a taxi. He wanted to go alone.
Where? I'm going to work.
Dong Jin? Yes, I saw him.
What did you do?
I ripped his hair out and kicked him down there.
Taxi!
That jerk. How dare he even look at my daughter?
What did you just say?
Are you deaf?
I want to travel with Hee Ja.
I want you to help us.
You're making me embarrassed.
A trip?
You want to go with Hee Ja and not me?
Why would I go on a trip with you?
I can't. I won't.
What?
I have my exams coming up. How could you say that to me?
Why are you mad at me?
What does your exams have to do with my trip?
It has everything to do with it. I like you, too.
Gosh, I've known you since...
you were running around naked.
Well, forget those memories.
I'm serious right now.
So am I.
Do you not like me because I'm stupid? Just like them?
What?
Hello.
Choong Nam, I'm sorry about last time.
We were inconsiderate.
Are you guys professors or hoodlums?
I know you're upset, but that's harsh.
You know how stupid I am, right?
Then you should have told me exactly.
You should have told me to come to the white house,
not Casa Blanca. You confused me.
Are you boasting and looking down...
on me like hoodlums?
Where did you learn to do that?
Come on, don't be so mad.
You're professors in front of the students, but not to me.
- Choong Nam. - Goodness.
Then what about you?
You always treat us badly because of our age.
You're always ordering us. Don't you consider that rude, too?
Fine, I'm an old hoodlum.
But you shouldn't be on my level since you're a professor.
Professor Park.
Choong Nam, just calm down and sit down. Have a drink.
Come on, they're not kids. They're professors.
You shouldn't order them around. That's too rude.
I knew you were a dumbhead,
but you're so childish.
Why don't you like me?
Sit down.
You stand up.
Hey, I like Hee Ja.
You're like a little sister.
You don't even like me. Don't be so sour.
Can't you just help me and Hee Ja...
get along?
Are you the main casts and I'm the supporting actress?
You used to make me pass your love letters to Hee Ja.
Even now...
Am I a pushover?
Don't belittle me.
I'm the main cast in my life.
How dare you ask me to support you?
That dumbhead.
She used to be fine.
What's gotten into her?
Is she crazy?
I guess you struck gold late in life.
You have two girlfriends.
How would I know if Choong Nam is serious or not?
If you keep calling to bug me,
I'll fall for you, too.
I'm too old to deal with so much attention.
Goodness.
You don't want him...
but can't let go of him.
Karma will get you for that.
Even if it does, I'll make sure it doesn't get me alone.
Jeong A, Hee Ja, Nan Hee and you.
We'll all go down together.
No. I'll toy with them.
I was a loser my whole life and finally, I have the upper hand.
I'll take advantage of it.
I will tease them viciously.
You are so mean.
What if Hee Ja ends up fainting?
What then?
That would be fun. You can call the ambulance.
Did you do your homework? Can I have a look?
No.
I'll give you two hamburgers.
Just one.
Okay, two burgers.
Okay.
Gosh.
Even they beat me.
(Yeong Won)
So you don't like me.
But why prefer Hee Ja?
That's just annoying.
Go for it.
We don't have long to live anyway.
Do whatever you want.
Flower delivery.
They're for Lee Yeong Won.
That's me.
Thank you.
I'd rather see your face...
and not your flowers.
Do we have a vase?
Sure.
Hi, Hye Min. I'm so sorry.
I meant to call you back earlier.
I went to a bookstore...
and then a library to do some research.
I was a bit busy. Sorry.
This book is about economics and I know nothing about it.
What do you mean?
Why was she there?
So how...
is Dong Jin?
That's a relief.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yes, bye.
I'm saying this for your sake, not mine.
Why do you think I slaved my whole life away?
For me, of course.
I made it up to you.
You used to be so obedient. Why are you so fierce now?
How long do I have to live the way you want me to?
Mum, can I not drink this?
What are you doing?
Working.
Let's meet up.
I'm working.
You're always working.
When will you be done?
I don't know.
Call me when you're free.
Why won't you answer?
I'll call you.
I remember that night very clearly,
but I'd never asked my mum...
why she'd done it to me.
Should I do the same tonight?
Then can we pretend that nothing really happened?
I will kill that brat.
How dare she date a married man?
Why are you still here?
Aren't you meeting your daughter?
After all I did to raise her...
Be careful.
Don't lose your temper.
No. I can't do that any more.
It's time to be clear.
I need to tell her to stop interfering with my life.
It's time to actually take her on...
and claim my own life.
I will not run away.
I have to stop pretending...
that nothing happened.
It has to stop.
(As If Nothing Had Happened)
Stop and eat your food.
I won't stop until you read it.
My goodness.
"Thanks for the money, Dad. Your eldest daughter."
- Again. - That's enough!
I've had enough. It's been days. What's wrong with you?
Give it to me.
You looked down on me,
but what did Soon Young say?
What did she say?
- "Thank you, Dad." - That's right.
Even after Se Oh punched me,
I still kept my head on. I'm smart, you know?
I recorded everything.
I put my pride down and asked Seong Jae...
to help Soon Young.
I got her 500,000 dollars.
Do you have any idea how big that is?
Have you ever seen or touched that much money?
On top of that, it was all in cash.
Once I got the money,
I wired it straight...
to Soon Young's bank account. I did.
I did that. Me!
But wait. What did my daughter say in admiration?
She thanked you for the first time in her life.
She thanked you.
All right. Aren't you thankful to me, too?
Thank you.
Then give me some fish.
Rice.
- Water. - Will you let me eat?
Go ahead.
By the way,
what did my daughter say to me again?
I can't remember.
Why is your door open?
Hey, why are you visiting so early?
Hello.
You should greet your guests.
Look at this.
Oh, you don't have glasses on.
Make sure you tell her later about this, okay?
Are you off to work?
Can't you see?
Did you eat?
Jeong A.
This one has tenants on both floors.
Even if you sell it, you'll only get 50,000 dollars for it.
Right, there's more.
Are you looking for these?
I went to the register office yesterday.
He had four houses.
But he put the names of his little siblings as the owners.
What you have left is that house under your name...
and this place which is under his name.
I think he married his siblings.
He didn't ask you, right?
If you'll let me, can I swear at him?
He's a thief.
Just help me get that 50,000.
I thought Soon Young got her money.
What do you need it for?
I'm going to look for a place.
Let's go to Hee Ja's.
She has lots to eat.
We don't have anything here.
Did you finish work?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Are you still working?
Wan.
Wan!
Answer me.
Did you hang up on me?
Or are you ignoring me?
- I'm listening. - Did you talk to Dong Jin?
I did.
Then you and I should meet today. We must.
We should.
When and where?
Whenever and wherever.
I'll come to you. Stay home.
That punk.
She doesn't have the right to be mad at me.
Does she know how to farm?
What do you like so much about Jacques?
It's Jacqueline!
I asked you, does she know how to farm?
Jacques is not a virgin, so why do you like her?
She was married before. What's to like about her?
Do you like her because she's young? You thief!
Come on, she's asking you a question.
Gosh.
The fields are ready, but he doesn't want to work.
He's just busy fooling around.
You should think about planting seeds on the fields,
not in women.
What are you going to be when you grow up?
Darn it!
In Bong,
do you want to marry that Filipino girl?
Do you?
You should if you want to. What's the problem?
Jacques is not a virgin.
It doesn't matter as long as he likes her.
If she's a good girl, just let him marry her.
She didn't live that long with her ex-husband, right?
I hear she ran away after he beat her.
You told me that she's a good girl...
and that she works hard at a restaurant.
And 22 is not too young.
I'm sure In Bong wants to get married.
He can pee pretty far, you know?
Why don't you want him to get married?
Well?
Why?
Do you feel like she's stealing your son away?
Is that it?
Why did you take this off again?
My, you drive me crazy.
Do you want to go to the emergency again?
Do you remember last time...
we had to rush over? It cost us 480 dollars.
You did this last winter and spring, too.
You rode on the ambulance every season.
If you don't want to wear this, just die!
You're torturing me by living.
Mum.
How annoying.
Eat this.
Dad is so good-natured.
Where are you going?
Gosh. Dad really is good.
Dad.
I hope you live long.
Even if it's uncomfortable, keep it on.
You could really get sick like that.
If you're gone, Mum's spirits will be down.
You know that, right?
How much debt does Jacques have?
20,000 dollars.
20 dollars?
20,000 dollars.
10,000 dollars?
20,000! 20,000!
That's impossible.
I couldn't possibly get 20,000 from selling you.
All you can think about is her instead of farming, right?
What am I going to do with you?
My goodness.
We can sell the fields!
We can ask Nan Hee!
A divorce?
Yes.
Really?
- Yes. - Come on, Jeong A.
A divorce at your age?
Just rip his hair out and bite his arms off.
Go to his siblings and ask for the houses back.
Didn't he get money for Soon Young?
Why do you need a divorce?
That's his duty as a father. It doesn't have anything to do with me.
She's serious.
I support you.
- Hey. - Choong Nam.
If you get divorced, we're all on the same boat.
Widowed, divorced,
unmarried, divorced...
and Nan Hee is widowed. It's perfect.
- You're right. - We'll all die soon.
You should just live with him if you married him.
An old widow will be the laugh of the town.
- Don't you think so? - Just live with him...
and keep your title as the admirable wife and mother.
You were fine until now. It doesn't make sense.
They say average life expectancy will be 100 soon.
30 more years with Seok Gyun is too long.
100 years? That only applies to our kids.
We'll die in a few days.
It's Friday today.
If we don't die on Monday, what are you going to do?
You never know about Tuesday.
She won't die on Wednesday either.
Jeong A.
Let's go on a trip.
If we go on a trip, it'll make you feel better.
I don't need to feel better. I'm going to change my life.
I don't want to be free after I'm dead like my mum.
I'll just live freely.
Like a bird.
I decided when my mum died.
It's not about the house. Now, let's eat.
Will you look at this mess?
What's the point in cleaning...
if you're going to stuff everything into the cabinets and closets?
I think she's serious.
She's really determined.
My poor heart wastes away
That's what she's really like.
She's always been a little thorny.
Hello?
Hee Ja.
Have some buchimgae and travel with me.
I know Jeong A. She can be a little stubborn.
Not little, but full-on.
Yes, she is.
I know her. She means it.
But what if Seok Gyun won't agree to the divorce?
She'll have to go to court with Seong Jae as her lawyer.
You, too, Yeong Won. As a witness.
Don't say that.
Let's call Nan Hee over.
She's having a rough time.
Is her husband appearing in her dreams again?
- Her daughter... - Shut your mouth.
- Is it about Wan? - Choong Nam.
She dated someone she shouldn't have. That's all.
It's quicker this way.
Poor Nan Hee.
What about our sweet Wan?
And what about Jeong A?
She can get divorced and move in with you.
Will she want to?
I'm just saying she could.
Oh, did she say she'd live with me?
We should stop meeting up. We can't understand each other.
It takes a whole day to say a word or two.
When did she say she'd live with me?
Yes. She did.
Jeong A, stop it.
What about poor Seok Gyun?
We know what he's like.
If we can't get divorced, we'll live separately.
I will live like a bird.
I will fly high and free.
I think Seok Gyun will be the one feeling lost.
Jeong A, I told you clearly...
that I'm against the divorce, okay?
She's going deaf, too.
We lived for too long.
Will you live with me after the divorce?
I'm not that crazy. That would be such a nuisance.
I can't stand the husband I lived with for 50 years.
So why would I want to live with you?
Stop staring at me and set the table.
Set the table.
You can all go. I don't want to eat.
Were you that great of a wife?
You smile and pretend to be a nice person,
but you stab everyone in the back.
You pretended to be obedient, but you sharpened a knife all along.
Your siblings and friends say you're nice, but I know the truth.
You aren't a nice girl. You're scary. You are two-faced.
She's not a girl. She's a hag.
Why say she's two-faced?
She has a point.
Let's eat without her. The food's good.
Were you drinking?
Take a cold shower and wake up.
I did. It didn't work.
You can date anyone in the world but two kinds of men.
Married men and disabled men,
like your uncle.
Wan. I will love you forever.
Don't be lonely. You have me.
What do you need to wake up?
A cigarette.
But I don't have any. Can you buy me a pack?
Why... Why should I buy you that?
Forget it, then.
Give me a pack of that.
You brat. I'm your mother.
How dare you? How dare you?
How dare you? How dare you smoke?
How dare you smoke in front of me?
- How dare you? - Hello?
How dare you!
I did not... That is not...
how I taught you to behave!
I taught you better than that!
You told me you want to show how to stand up to your girlfriend.
So what are you doing?
She's having a tough time right now.
Then you should console her.
We're far apart.
I can't do anything.
Have this before you drink.
Nan Hee?
You know...
that all women seeing married men...
are vixens and witches to me, right?
Including...
Sook Hee who dated my husband,
I even swore at you when...
I found out that you were dating a married man.
Anyone seeing a married man is a witch to me.
They all are,
but I couldn't call my own daughter a witch.
That's why I called you.
What should I do...
with Wan?
What on earth am I going to do?
What should I do?
Why are you treating me like this? Did you say I bother you?
I'm doing fine living all on my own.
I always tried hard...
to never burden anyone.
I never once complained to you about my cheating husband.
I was rotting inside, but I didn't tell you.
I'm still going to live by myself.
Why would I bother you if we lived together?
We won't get along.
You watch television at night...
and sleep with the lights on.
I can't sleep like that.
You can sleep in the room, and I'll sleep in the living room.
Also, you follow me around with a tape in your hand.
I won't!
Why wouldn't you? It's your hobby.
My hobby is to eat snacks,
and your hobby is to clean with a tape.
You should live on your own, and I should live on my own.
We'll meet whenever we have time.
Please, just leave me alone.
I already have too much to think. Don't make it harder for me.
Fine, I'll leave you alone.
This is why people say...
women are not loyal.
I didn't think...
you and I would be like that.
Fine.
You live on your own,
and I'll live on my own.
Gosh.
She's making herself upset for nothing.
I'm sick of living.
Doesn't she understand?
I miss Mum.
Let's go on the trip.
The trip?
Yes, let's go.
With the scent of platanus
Beyond its shadows
I'm running with the dream of my youthful days
It's an exciting Sunday
Cotton candy clouds are
Floating over the horizon
The pink romance fills my heart
The youthful train of happiness
Is running on its tracks
Thank you, Choong Nam.
Did you see Hee Ja today so that she could help me?
She says she'll go on the trip. Thank you so much.
Hee Ja, I forgot to ask you when I saw you today.
Do you like me or Seong Jae?
You.
Then don't go on the trip.
We'll end up in a love triangle.
I like him.
Okay.
I won't.
Do you know what Jeong A said?
I'm studying. Bye.
Are you bored?
If I take this and...
Aunt.
Professor Park sent you a present.
Hey,
open it.
Don't take it.
He's playing tricks on you to get your money.
I like them more than my old friends.
I was really upset.
Of course, you would be.
I'd be upset, too.
Jeong A shouldn't treat you like that.
You were so good to her.
I wasn't that good...
Come on.
I know how considerate you are.
I know.
When you gave me that 1000 dollars,
I knew you're a good-hearted person.
I'm curious now.
When you gave me 1,000 dollars,
how much did you give Jeong A?
2,000? 3,000?
This isn't about money.
5,000? 10,000?
It can't be 100,000, right?
What are you doing, Min Ho?
Mum. Min Ho's sleeping.
Should I wake him up?
All right. Goodnight.
Why didn't you pass it to me?
She's been on the phone all day.
She's fine, don't worry.
You should be careful tonight.
Come on.
Oh, right.
A cold?
He lives in a warm country. Why did he catch a cold?
What about you?
You're tired?
Okay.
It's nothing. Bye.
(Min Ho, Jeong A, Choong Nam)
(Jeong A)
(Seong Jae)
I won't go travelling with you.
Choong Nam means more to me than you do.
Why?
What's wrong with her now?
(Hee Ja)
(Choong Nam)
What a lovely song.
Get into bed.
Don't talk to me like I'm one of your boyfriends.
My flirting skills are going to waste.
My life blows, doesn't it?
How dare you ask that to a cancer patient?
You're right.
Whenever you think your life blows,
think about mine.
I have cancer.
However tough your life is,
it's still better than mine which is riddled with cancer.
I have cancer.
I got one good thing...
out of having cancer.
Everyone else in the world...
gains courage when they see me.
"At least I have it better than that actress."
"She got divorced, remarried and divorced again."
"And then she had all sorts of cancers."
Look me up on the internet. People say I'm lucky.
Whenever I'm battling cancer, people find out...
and post encouraging things.
They click "likes" and hearts icons.
You silly thing.
Are you that pleased to be called lucky?
I don't think you're lucky at all.
See? It's still good. Laugh while you can.
You don't have cancer.
Smile.
Did you have a lot to drink?
A bit.
I gave a cancer patient alcohol.
How rotten of you.
I didn't think...
Wan would do something like that.
I thought I'd taught her better than that.
That's not something you can teach.
Do you think my mother told me...
to date a married man because she did?
The one thing she never stopped telling me was...
to marry a single man.
Did you end up a widow...
because your mum told you to?
Whatever you teach the kids,
life is something we never have control over.
Wan just has...
to quit smoking...
and stop seeing that guy.
Those cancer surgeries...
made you so philosophical.
It happened.
Let's sleep.
Love
Love is when
You like each other
I once loved you
My mum used to sing this song a lot...
when she owned a pub.
She wouldn't let me learn it,
but it pops into my head all the time.
You held me
In your arms
As we stood
By the river
(Dear My Friends, Chapter 1: Mum)
(Chapter 1: Nan Hee's Story)
How beautiful you are.
My mum is Doctor Rhea.
(Eldest Son)
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after...
He won't know if I died.
What are you doing?
Sleeping.
Shall I hang up?
Talk.
Why didn't you turn off your phone?
Was it in case Soon Young called?
They only call me when they need something.
They don't call during the day, so why would they call me at night?
Turn your phone off.
I'm bothering you.
I keep it on to answer your calls.
My calls?
You're alone every night.
What if something happens?
Are you upset because I don't want to live with you?
Hee Ja.
I just want to be alone. I want peace and quiet.
We'll still meet up often even if we don't live together.
And we'll keep each other company whenever we're troubled.
So we don't have to live together.
Okay.
Even if we don't live together, you're always with me.
Right? Just like now?
Of course.
Always. Just like now.
Go to bed.
Do you feel better now?
You're not two-faced.
You've done your best for Seok Gyun.
Live your own life now. I'll support you.
Go to bed.
You have to sleep well to avoid dementia.
Okay.
By the way, did you know that Choong Nam likes Seong Jae?
You didn't know, right? Of course, I didn't know.
What do you mean "So what?" I chose friendship.
I was going to travel with him, but I told him I won't.
I'm older. I should let her have him.
Did I like him?
I'm not sure.
I'm going to a shoot.
It felt so nice to sleep under the same blanket like old days.
Thumbs up.
Did you break up with Dong Jin?
There's no need to.
Why aren't you seeing Yeon Ha...
but seeing Dong Jin?
Mum.
I came to interview you.
What?
It's your wish, isn't it? Didn't you want me to write?
About you and your friends.
So I'm here to interview you.
Why did you break up with Yeon Ha?
Did you even like him?
Did you two even date?
Where should the story start?
From when you were born?
Or...
maybe from what you can remember?
How is that?
You two dated, right?
From what I saw, you two looked like a couple.
So why did you break up with him?
He didn't cheat on you, did he?
Did he cheat like Dong Jin did?
He became handicapped.
You told me not to marry a disabled person.
That's why we broke up.
Actually, I threw him away.
I always listen to you.
Can we start the interview now?
How about...
we start from...
when I was six? The day we went to Grandma's house.
Don't you remember it?
I remember it so clearly.
Mum, why did you try to kill me then?
On the fields.
(Dear My Friends)
I couldn't sleep.
- Mum. - Who is that?
I'll see you at church.
Let me get changed.
Be friends. Don't see him too often.
I should've been there.
They like each other. You should let them be.
Did you really miss me?
Why are you suddenly nice?
I'm being nice since we don't have a lot of time left.
I should just go, right?
If you don't come, I'll kill myself.
