(Durian's Affair)
(All characters, organizations, and events in this drama are fictitious.)
(Animals were filmed according to guidelines.)
It is you, Mr. Dan.
Hello.
Where are you, Dan Deung Myung?
(Episode 15)
To earn some extra money.
You were a servant.
And he worked for you.
I was...
a servant?
Yes, in your previous life.
I can't believe he was your servant in your previous life.
You have a strong bond with each other.
- You can see that? - Yes.
Hello.
Hey. It's been a while.
Earlier...
You can't hear me?
I'm at an amusement park. It's a bit rowdy here.
I must ask her to elaborate.
It's not true.
- She is wrong. - What do you mean?
It was...
It was a made-up story.
Whose story?
Earlier...
She said she could see my previous life.
It is a superstition.
Do not fall for such superstitions.
Okay, I understand.
She's not a stranger to me.
This is very fun, Mother.
Time is moving so quickly here.
- Let us go. - I feel like I am in dreamland.
Your wife must be waiting for you at home.
We should come here early in the morning next time.
I cannot believe this.
Mr. Dan went to Jamsil World earlier today.
With Du Ri An?
Yes. Deung Myung and So Jeo went with them too.
(Miss Universe, Miss Korea)
You seem concerned.
Did Mr. Dan say something unpleasant to you?
No.
You seem troubled.
We ran into his housekeeper.
But she must have become a shaman.
"A shaman?"
If you happen to run into her,
do not put money on her fans when she extends them to you.
The servant's name. What was it?
I think I heard of it.
Sorry. I got a lot of text messages for the missed calls. I didn't know.
Regardless of that,
did we even talk once today?
I couldn't call this morning because of your news program.
And I was at the shoot all day.
What about text messages?
Couldn't you have texted me?
Is that solely my responsibility?
Did you have a bad day?
I was fired.
You got fired at work?
Ms. Ryu is going to take my spot starting next week.
Why?
There's no reason.
I was just told to take a break.
I doubt that it came from the chairwoman.
Probably not. Then she would have told me.
I guess the director...
needs to be taught a lesson once in a while.
I can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds out...
that I will be her granddaughter-in-law.
Once we get married, you won't be able to...
Quitting and getting fired aren't the same.
A lot of people were so jealous of me.
I bet they're celebrating right now.
Go to sleep for now.
- Can't you come over? - It's past midnight.
I'll ask my grandmother tomorrow about this. Go to sleep now.
Having you next to me would help me get over this.
Just hang in there for a few months.
I will be next to you for the rest of our lives.
Dol Soe.
"Dol Soe?"
How shocking.
In your previous life,
he wasn't your son. He was your servant.
Who?
Your second-eldest son.
But...
But how...
could you...
What? What did I do?
Just spill it. Enough with the suspense.
His death was untimely...
because of you.
Did I drive him mad?
What are you talking about?
How could that be?
But take us for example.
You've come a long way, Baek Do Yi.
The universe has given me everything but a beautiful daughter.
I have a young, handsome husband at my age.
I must have built good karma in my previous life.
But he's a year younger than my youngest son, Chi Jung.
They'll probably say I'm crazy.
Would Se Mi lose it?
So what if she does?
It's not like she's going to make me happy.
She wants to make herself happy, not me.
Look how much my skin improved overnight.
Love does make women glow.
Is this love?
Yes, it is.
How could I not love him?
Only a crazy woman wouldn't.
(He didn't come home?)
What time is it?
You can sleep for 30 more minutes.
I'm not going to be embarrassed.
Forty or seventy. It doesn't matter when I remarry.
Remarriage is neither a flaw nor a crime.
We do have a small age difference.
Well, it's not really small.
Marrying a young guy is considered a great feat nowadays.
I will eat well and work out a lot.
I won't age.
I will get treatments to get rid of my wrinkles from time to time.
There you are, my lady.
Did I startle you?
You woke up without me.
If I had woken you up, you would have been annoyed.
Why would I be annoyed?
I do have one favor to ask.
What is it?
Be by my side...
- when I wake up. - Choose.
Me in bed next to you,
or your breakfast.
Let me make breakfast for us,
my dear wife.
I mean it. I've been living alone for 20 years.
Preparing a meal with five side dishes is nothing.
I can even prepare ten side dishes if you asked.
Aren't you a sweet and mature husband?
You have to show me you mean it.
Will you do it? Or should I?
Let's stay here for one more day.
I don't have any clothes to change into.
We can buy them.
I looked up what was around here.
The five-day market is only 30 minutes away from here.
They will probably have some baggy pants, right?
Baggy pants or not.
You will look incredibly sexy in all kinds of pants.
I guess you married me because I look sexy.
Sexy women were not really my type before.
But you turned me into a hungry wolf.
A wolf sounds too much.
You can tame him.
And he's ready to be tamed.
There's no point. Will his DNA change?
I'll transform into anything you want.
So my DNA doesn't matter.
Here's a thing about women.
They age when they are miserable.
I don't want to age.
I should ask you not to make me miserable.
So you'll keep speaking to me without the honorifics?
I will.
If you keep it up, I'll crush you.
My mouth?
Why don't you just rip it into pieces?
Aren't you hungry?
We only had fried sundae yesterday.
The menu is pretty extensive for a hotel in the countryside.
Should we say on the count of three?
- In 1, 2, 3. - In 1, 2, 3.
- The bulgogi set. - The bulgogi set.
I thought you would go for the dried pollack soup.
I'm craving meat.
Naturally.
This is nice.
I have my other half...
whom I will share breakfast with.
Can I get the housekeeper's number?
- The housekeeper's number? - Yes.
Why?
I should buy her a meal or something.
She worked in our house for six years.
Do you have that much time on your hands?
I'll take care of that.
Anyway, just give me her number when I ask for it.
You're indifferent only to me.
But you're busy looking after everyone but me.
I'm socializing. You said she scared you.
(Housekeeper, Contact format: File or text)
Why didn't you wake me up?
What if you caught a cold because you slept without a blanket?
You're right.
I wanted to sit down for a moment.
This looks delicious.
Are you allergic to any ingredients?
A lot of people around me are allergic to shellfish.
I can't get enough of food.
Are you interested in cutting down on coffee?
I am.
The way he eats with gusto must bring him good luck.
That must be why he ended up with me.
It's not too sweet. It's nice.
I don't like sweet bulgogi.
Same here.
Aren't we going to eat more at the five-day market?
I wonder if we'll find anything decent there.
You've never been there?
Not really.
It was a long time ago.
Has it been more than ten years?
Or 15 years?
I'm seriously curious about the life you've had so far.
You don't know much about five-day markets.
I know what they are. I just couldn't go to one for years.
There are so many tasty dishes at the market.
Really?
I can't wait to go there.
You'll get indigestion. Sometimes, you're like a little kid.
When people age, they behave like kids.
Anyway, I like it.
He sees me as a kid instead of a granny.
Gosh. I checked some text messages earlier.
I don't want any distractions today.
I want to focus just on us today.
Okay.
Hey. I was actually going to call you.
We must be on the same wavelength.
What's wrong?
That can't be!
Do you think I put poison in this?
Deung Myung got this for us.
No one can escape aging.
I heard playing tennis was getting tough for you now.
You shouldn't exercise too excessively.
Other people around our age take health supplements.
Take them when I still bring them to you.
You don't feel a thing, do you?
Must we live like this?
We met when we were 25. Let's say we're together until 90.
That's 65 years.
A man and a woman would spend 65 years together.
I would get sick of looking at my face for that long.
Not everyone is like you.
Would you rather live a fake life?
Growing old with just one person...
isn't beautiful. Shouldn't that be considered unrefined?
As long as it's not too much,
following our instincts to a certain extent is more humane.
You can spew nonsense to someone else.
Your language is getting vulgar day by day.
I'm not a saint.
You're belittling me and looking down on me.
Yet, you want to be treated with respect?
Other men would have punched you 12 times.
Anyway, our marriage is over.
Just take our conversation for example.
Living together is pointless.
Live as Dan Deung Myung's mom, then.
Live for your son. For his sake.
If you're his mother, don't be a disgrace to him.
Do you not have any maternal love?
It's been a while since anyone talked about "maternal love."
When kids get old, they leave.
Besides, spouses don't have any physical bond keeping them together.
Their relationship is based on love.
The union is formed with their curiosity about each other.
When they no longer find each other attractive...
You're not human.
You cannot be human.
Yes, Mr. Dan.
Can you bring So Jeo's mother-in-law to Deung by 7 p.m.?
Ms. Lee asked to see her, so we were on our way to her house.
My wife called?
Yes. Don't memorize your lines for the time being.
- Just keep reading the directions. - Okay.
Sir.
That's a new ring.
- Is that a couple ring? - Yes.
Gosh. Finally, Uncle.
When can we meet her?
In due time.
Congratulations.
I'll buy you dinner.
Not me.
- Do you have plans? - Yes.
I was invited to dinner by an advertiser.
I'm free tomorrow.
I'm not free tomorrow.
Sir, should we order dinner?
Please sit down.
You drink black tea, right?
I already had tea.
Then water?
I am all right.
You look great with the chignon bun.
You look like you've had the hairstyle all your life.
Let me tell you...
why I called to see you today.
After I got married, it took me three years and a half...
to get pregnant.
It felt like I had everything I could've ever wished for.
I even felt the fetal movement.
But at 16 weeks pregnant,
something went wrong.
We kept trying IVF, but it never worked.
Emotionally, I felt insecure.
I know myself well.
That day,
I shouldn't have complained over a binyeo.
I regretted it, but the damage was done.
I hurt you, didn't I?
So Jeo too.
I apologize.
Not at all.
Until the new kimchi is released,
you'll have to visit the factory often.
Why don't you move back?
I'm an only child,
so I'm not that considerate.
I won't make any mistakes like that again.
You're a rare kind of person, trustworthy enough...
that even Mother likes you.
I didn't appreciate you.
All you have to do is manage the housekeepers,
learn what you must,
and help develop new kimchi.
Why waste your talent?
It's not like we're demanding free labor.
Regarding that issue, if I can be of help in any way,
I am glad I can repay the favor.
That is what I think so.
Once you move back, you needn't tiptoe around us.
Make this place your home and relax.
I'll think of So Jeo like a niece.
My parents will spend the rest of their lives...
with my brother in the US.
Ohyiji was the only thing I felt attached to.
As you know,
my husband lives for his work.
You don't notice when someone moves in,
but you do when they leave.
Whenever I peer into the guest bedroom,
it feels extra empty.
Did you sleep well, baby?
Did you?
Aren't you glad to see Auntie?
Wave to her.
Stay for dinner.
I had a late lunch.
Sparkling water, please.
Will Mother be home late?
She flew to Japan today.
To visit a hot spring? On business?
I told you about Mamasan in Tokyo, right?
Yes.
She was a neighbor of Mother's when she was young.
She was given just 3 or 4 months to live.
Oh, dear. When she didn't have a chronic illness?
No.
Life can be so fragile.
My father was so healthy too.
But he suddenly fell and broke a bone.
It was late-stage malignant osteosarcoma.
When I think of that time...
Mother must've had a huge shock.
You said they were close.
Her weight dropped to 44kg.
She must've been so beautiful.
How would she be beautiful when she starved from grief?
Dinner's ready. Will you eat later?
I don't feel like eating.
Me neither.
Shall we go out to drink?
(Eun Sung)
Hi.
Hello?
Get me a plane ticket quickly.
Why? Do you need to go to the US?
Is something wrong?
The US restaurant shooting...
- that happened two days ago. - Yes.
My father was there.
The bullet went passed through him.
Fortunately, the surgery went well,
but my mom is the problem.
She seems to be out of sorts, talking gibberish.
Out of shock?
My brother wasn't going to tell me until Dad came home,
but Mom kept asking for me,
then the housekeeper.
Then she suddenly started wetting herself.
Okay.
I have some VIP tickets set aside.
It is best...
not to go.
If you were to go back...
and could take just one thing,
what would you take with you?
I do not know.
There are so many indescribably great things.
Right?
The fabric softener is quite useful.
I would take that.
It would make cotton cloth softer...
and help the people who smell badly because they cannot bathe often.
It is a necessity.
You are right.
But washing my teeth with salt is so rough and painful.
I was at the second Mr. Dan's home today.
What for?
They want us to come back.
Mr. Dan?
No. His wife does.
She does not mean it.
She made an honest plea.
We should stay, right?
She will recover...
when she sees her daughter.
- Did you call? - There's a time difference.
I was going to ask the housekeeper to come too,
but her number has changed.
Did you try calling her?
We're no longer meant to be.
She's not the same person since she was admitted.
How could someone turn so loony?
(Main Entrance)
Is my brother still asleep?
He has a breakfast meeting,
so he left less than an hour ago.
Tell Se Mi I'd like some breakfast.
She left to exercise.
Where to? Our golf club?
I do not know.
Why is it so quiet?
Is everyone out, and you're alone?
I will set the table.
Cake.
I brought some on Sunday.
I enjoyed it. Thank you.
You know...
I'm to be married soon, but I'm not excited.
I should be happy and overjoyed.
What do you...
think of me?
What do you think?
You seem nice.
And blessed.
I'm blessed?
I didn't want to return to an empty house.
The housekeeper and I aren't that friendly.
Like you. You're reluctant to speak with me.
Is it because...
you think of me as a man?
- I do not. - Then why...
do you avoid me like a leech?
I feel it all.
I'm pretty quick-witted.
My mother even more so.
I guess...
no one really cares about me or has any affection for me.
Chi Gam is my mother's favorite.
Of course, I might not be that praiseworthy...
and lack in many areas...
compared to my smart older brothers.
In the olden days, I'd have been a loser.
Sometimes, as a child,
I wondered if my father had me out of wedlock...
and brought me home.
He didn't.
Other families love the youngest the most.
Woo Mi...
likes me for what I am.
If I were penniless,
she wouldn't even look at me.
Everyone's materialistic, starting with me.
Are you not?
You're not materialistic?
Are you a madam?
You should be in a period drama.
Why is your name "Ri An?"
Who named you?
You don't know?
What do you know?
When will your memory return?
But then, I don't care about your name.
How much do you need?
How much must I pay to see you smile?
I don't want a huge grin.
Just a hint.
A pretend smile.
I'd love to see how you look when you smile.
I only have checks.
I apologize.
Are you happy?
I'm not happy.
Do you know the word "void?"
That's how I felt since I was a kid.
I thought about it, and there's no reason.
I was born to two amazing parents.
I had two doting grandmothers and brothers.
I dated so many women I lost count.
But there's a mental hunger I can't fill.
However much I eat,
I can't fill my stomach.
My spirit.
Why is it so destitute?
There must be a reason.
Who did you drink with?
With Woo Mi since last night.
I did all the drinking because she couldn't.
I haven't stayed up to drink in a long while.
I'm still fit enough.
I had to console a guy I know who invested everything in coins...
and lost it all.
We drank three bottles of malt.
You should go and get some sleep.
You will get sick.
You want me to leave?
I don't want to.
I'll wait until the others return.
I wanted to chat with Se Mi if she were in.
She's an utter nuisance.
I will cook some soup.
You have left a mark on me
It's a smudge
That will never come out
You're not by my side now
But I can't erase you from my life
I'm locked up in your cell
All I can do is cry
I just can't get out
I'm constrained by chains of memory
I'm enveloped in sorrow
There's no being free
Of our memories
Why are you calling so early?
What reporter?
How'd he find out?
You can't stop it?
Now's not the time. Shooting starts soon.
You can hire a stunt double, but you should ride the horse yourself.
You can if you start lessons now.
You're pretty fit and physical.
Okay.
I'll eat that another time.
You are leaving?
It's not a big deal, but I must handle it.
Do you think of me sometimes?
Even if you don't,
if you need me, call at any time.
Through Ms. Ma.
Ms. Kim?
Director, do you use this?
- What? - Fabric softener.
- What's that? - You use it when you do laundry.
I can't be bothered.
You should use it. Men stink.
- Do I smell? - You might not notice.
Do I smell or not?
Every now and then.
- It's not pheromones? - The so-called widower smell.
Watch your language.
A bachelor isn't a widower.
How much do I use?
Not too much.
This is for me?
- You're wearing a ring? - You just noticed?
Did you go behind my back...
It's a long story.
The schedule is out.
You need to visit Giam Village the day after tomorrow.
- They want... - Let's go.
Push back our meeting.
How is it?
It is fun but scary.
The horse goes too close to the fence sometimes.
They know you're a novice. They're smart.
Don't let them intimidate you.
I'm your first riding companion.
Before I got married,
my father's friends told me when they had visited.
They said, "Your enemy is below your armpit."
I didn't know what that meant then.
It's possible the person for you could be close by.
How long was Chi Jung here for?
Not long.
He did not have breakfast.
Will you sit down?
Do you know about...
my late grandmother's house in Gahoe-dong?
Yes.
I think you should move there.
Are we getting kicked out again?
Do not misunderstand.
I will be honest.
My wife...
It's just my guess, but I think...
she has an ulterior motive.
I won't go into detail about something I'm not sure about.
You won't have to worry about the Gahoe-dong house,
and you and So Jeo will be more at ease there.
I think it could make us both uncomfortable if you stayed.
I think...
my wife wants me to find someone.
I'm not sure, so don't show that you know.
Move quietly,
and I'll break the news to her.
I think it will be best if we move to your younger brother's home.
It is not right...
to take over a house that belonged to an elder.
You did not expect anything like this.
Yesterday,
Ms. Lee told me she would like me to move back.
Did she?
Yes.
Tomorrow, I have lessons with Ms. Ma.
I would like to move today.
Talk to your wife for me...
so she does not misunderstand.
In this future world, I feel like a floating weed.
Like a stone being kicked around from house to house.
But still,
I can enjoy seeing my healthy son.
Did you get everything?
Yes.
So Jeo is learning how to ride horses with Deung Myung.
By the way, when we went to see Ms. Lee,
Mr. Dan called saying he wanted to invite you to dinner.
I said we were meeting his wife, and he didn't say anything else.
When did the housekeeper leave?
Not long ago.
The two ladies went back to Cheongdam-dong.
Why?
- Did Eun Sung... - It was me.
I said you didn't mean well by bringing them over.
So they left without even saying goodbye?
You think you're a saint.
Not another word!
I thought you were in.
It was rude of me.
I should have asked Ms. Ma to check.
No.
So Jeo will be back soon too, then?
They will watch something called a movie with her manager.
She will be late.
I wanted to ask for details,
but I couldn't reach the housekeeper.
She changed her number.
The servant story...
you told me yesterday that was passed down.
Was that about me?
No.
If I hadn't heard the story,
I'd have taken what she said as nonsense.
But...
what she said fits your story completely.
Is it a coincidence?
Yes.
I believe so.
She must've become psychic while she was in the hospital.
It could be temporary,
but I heard that some were capable of seeing the past.
All the details are like puzzle pieces that make sense.
On the first day, you said you came from Joseon.
I didn't care about it because it was impossible.
But...
your fingerprints weren't even registered.
Everything is a mystery.
It doesn't make sense.
It's totally impossible.
All of this can only make sense if you had come from Joseon.
It would explain everything that's going on.
It is not true.
Can you swear on that?
Whatever you tell me,
I'll believe you.
You didn't lose your memory, did you?
I am not sure.
What do you know?
The first day you came,
you stood around there, looking surprised to see me.
I thought you must've mistaken me for someone else.
I didn't think much of it,
but you called me "Dol Soe."
You only wear hanboks.
You only use old expressions.
Your demeanor.
Numbers, Korean, English.
You're learning everything from Ms. Ma.
You're a blank canvas.
How can you explain that?
It didn't make any sense.
I didn't think about it because it was impossible.
Imagine if you were me in this situation.
Would you ignore everything?
They say, "Ignorance is bliss."
I know it may be frustrating,
but please pretend you did not hear anything...
and forget about it.
The story you told me yesterday...
was about me.
How is this possible?
Let's go to the cottage.
Did you come through the pond there?
From the past?
It is a long story.
Drink it.
Explain in detail.
What happened to your baby?
Telling me won't change anything.
It won't send me to the past if I am to know.
Do you want me to ask the housekeeper?
I know her phone number changed, but I can still find her.
I have her address as well.
The baby was born.
Was it a boy or a girl?
It was a boy.
It's my son.
Right?
(Dan Chi Jung)
- Hi. - Mom's home.
She wants everyone to come over.
I shouldn't put this off.
I must not divulge any secrets.
It could cause trouble.
If only those fans were gone...
- Bring it out. - Yes, ma'am.
Did you buy something?
Yogurt.
You all like it.
What about Mamasan?
I'm not sure. It was a misdiagnosis.
"A misdiagnosis?"
One of the staff accidentally switched their chart.
It gave us a reason to meet, though.
I kept saying I would go, but I couldn't make the time.
I was so surprised.
That must've stirred up some scary memories.
I know you don't like thinking about that, though.
Ice packs?
I put them in there.
Please excuse me. A relative is visiting from Gwangju.
Okay.
Did Mamasan give you that ring?
No.
Did you give her the ring you used to wear?
No.
She has more jewelry than me.
It doesn't suit you.
Big, glamorous things suit you best.
Is Eun Sung on her way?
- Yes. - People might mistake that...
for a wedding ring.
- You should take it off. - You're ordering me around again.
You're right. It's a wedding ring.
Do you have a boyfriend in Japan?
I know you'll be surprised,
but I'm married.
I'm done being a widow.
Your jokes have improved. They're still not funny, though.
I'm not trying to be funny. It's true.
Really?
I would have to have dementia to joke about something like this.
With who?
You should meet him here...
tomorrow evening.
I know you're dying to know but wait for one day.
Were you in a secret relationship all this time?
I'm not sure.
It's hard to explain...
the process.
I can't believe it.
Don't worry.
I'm not losing anything in this marriage,
although I don't want to put it that way.
Which chairman...
have you been close to?
He's not a chairman.
Is he...
older or younger than you?
Younger.
By how many years?
Quite...
a lot.
Four or five years?
Seven?
Eight?
He can't be ten years younger.
You shouldn't make assumptions.
Oh, my gosh.
Mother.
You can't do this to me.
Why not?
The way you're looking at me is scaring me.
I cared so much for you.
You did all of that on your own.
- Forget it. - Who is it?
Call him over right now!
I don't want to.
Don't order me around.
I'm your mother-in-law.
It's not true, right?
You're trying to make me give up on you.
I'm not that kind.
I'm extremely busy.
You shouldn't make up stories.
If this is true,
I think you may have been tricked by a player.
Don't worry.
Take this and go.
What does he do?
You can meet him tomorrow. Can't you wait one day?
I'm going to wash up.
Mother!
How dare you shout?
Just stab me in the heart instead!
Do you want to see me go crazy?
Not at all.
I've felt this heartache for years.
Goodness.
Get up.
Don't forget your yogurt.
Keep it in the refrigerator.
You didn't have a ceremony yet.
Even if you did, forget about it.
I won't annoy you anymore!
I don't want to. Are you insane?
You've been tricked by a con artist!
No, I haven't.
If you make me cry,
you'll end up crying tears of blood!
Are you cursing your mother-in-law?
It's true! Wait and see.
You should become a better person first.
Don't come tomorrow.
You're making a mistake!
It's my mistake to make. Stay out of my business.
You're lucky Deung Myung isn't seeing this.
Don't you feel embarrassed?
I'm not embarrassed! Not at all!
Yes. I feel embarrassed for you.
Mother!
Should we believe her or not?
What did we just see?
I'm leaving.
Okay.
It's all true, right?
Yes.
Anyway, congratulations.
I'm sure you made the right choice.
Thanks, Chi Gam.
I'm going to be on the phone.
(Ju Nam)
Hello?
I just finished up. Have you eaten dinner?
I just had...
one bottle of yogurt.
That won't do.
I would bring you a midnight snack if I knew where you lived.
Did you not drink?
I did not.
I'm going to clean my house to get it ready for my wife.
- So... - Go ahead.
My family asked about my ring,
- so I told them everything. - Good job.
Should we have our families meet?
We need to learn more about each other before we do that.
You said we didn't know anything about each other.
Give me your address. I'll pick you up.
He's so proactive. He never hesitates.
Just come to the Crystal Hotel.
No.
Come to Cafe Sunny.
Yes, ma'am. I'm excited.
- See you soon. - Okay.
My endorphin.
Deung Myung will come by when he has time.
You call him Deung Myung so naturally now.
It feels more natural now.
It feels comfortable and affectionate.
For the time being,
Mr. Dan will stay in the house where his grandmother used to live.
He is keeping his distance from his wife.
Mother is cute.
What's up with her?
She tried her best.
To get me to give up,
she hired some man and put on a wedding ring.
Don't say anything to Deung Myung.
I'm home.
Hi.
You look happy, Mom.
Did you call Uncle Ju Nam?
No. He hasn't called me at all recently.
He's busy dating.
He got a girlfriend.
I had a feeling.
- Is he getting married? - It seems like it.
That's good.
Grandmother bought yogurt.
Okay.
Would it be okay if I told her about what happened with Ayla?
Tell her tomorrow morning.
She doesn't like hearing about troubling things before bed.
Why did So Jeo and Ri An go back to Uncle Chi Gam's?
Were you uncomfortable?
Your aunt wanted them to.
So...
I just went ahead and...
It's good to just get it over with.
What if...
they really...
disapprove?
How old are they?
That's...
a bit embarrassing.
My youngest...
is one year older than you.
Did you get married early?
In my freshman year of college.
I should tell you first.
I thought about it,
and I'm not ashamed of anything.
That's what you think.
Seriously.
I studied production, and I'm a freelancer.
You can use your time freely.
Let's go on a trip in the winter...
for a proper honeymoon.
To where?
Where would you like to go?
I've been to most places.
- Europe. - Western Europe?
- Eastern Europe? - Eastern Europe.
I make enough to go on trips without worrying about money.
Do you direct plays?
Dramas.
Dramas?
A drama director...
named Ju Nam...
Ju Nam?
Could he be that Ju Nam?
Are you...
directing...
"Master Jung?"
Yes.
How did you know? Did you read about it on the news?
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my.
- What's wrong? - Oh, no.
I can't believe it.
What is it?
You must...
know my name.
Baek Do Yi?
Chairwoman Baek?
Yes.
How did we...
What should we do?
Are you disappointed?
I'm not disappointed.
They will all disapprove.
We're just in-laws, once removed.
I didn't even go to Se Mi's wedding because I had stomach flu.
We...
I don't know.
My mind is a complete blank. I can't think at all.
Let's think of it this way.
This is fate.
- We could call it that, but... - Not just calling it that.
- I'm sure of it. - What would Se Mi say?
- What about your parents? - Marriage isn't a joke.
We're legally married.
Unless I'm not good enough for you.
What do you mean, not good enough?
It's about our relationship. We're still...
People even marry close family members in other countries.
We're complete strangers.
We don't need to care about others.
Our happiness...
and life are the meaningful and important things.
It's not as if we're harming others.
Even if I were to be reborn,
I would still be with you.
Sincerely.
Really?
I didn't know Chairwoman Baek was so pretty.
Stop it.
People will see.
Just stay by my side tomorrow.
I'll take care of it.
I'll make them understand what they need to understand.
Okay?
This isn't an unfortunate incident.
Falling in love.
We found love,
and we fell for it.
We did.
I can see right through you, Mother.
I think she's right.
Mom wouldn't do that.
I'm sure Se Mi is right.
Women really are so smart.
We'll see tomorrow.
It was a good trick on her part.
- Is she home? - Not yet.
She must be working hard with someone to get ready.
This is because of Se Mi.
Every family has a troublemaker.
I thought that was me, but I guess it's Se Mi.
Why would it be you?
A hardworking, trustworthy young man...
worked for a salary at a rich man's house.
But...
he fell in love with his master's daughter.
Her mother-in-law of all people...
had the servant sent to her daughter-in-law's room.
I was proud of my apartment.
It's not easy to buy a 76m² apartment in Gangnam.
It's not easy.
Do you own it?
Yes. I bought it with my own money.
I didn't get a single penny from my parents.
Why did you leave CVC?
It turns out, I like money quite a lot.
I also want honor.
Being greedy without harming others is a good thing.
That's what makes you improve and be successful.
Right?
It's nice to have you on my side.
Some women say their husbands are not on their side.
Then I won't be a husband.
Then?
What will you call me?
My name?
That's not right.
I'm okay with that.
Or just call me "honey."
In front of other people?
It's natural and nice.
"Director" would be good.
Should I call you, "Chairwoman," then?
What we call each other isn't important. Let's see.
The girls you came to the club with...
must be your employees, not juniors.
Secretaries.
Secretary Ha and Secretary Lee.
Now, it all makes sense.
They totally talked me into it.
I must've been out of my mind.
It happened so you could meet me. I told you. This is fate.
Compared to this place, my apartment is teeny-weeny.
For the time being, you can come over whenever you want.
Once Chi Jung gets married,
you can move in.
If you're not tired...
"If I'm not tired?"
Don't you want to see your husband's place?
She went back inside.
We aren't teenagers having a secret rendezvous.
My housekeeper will be shocked. She doesn't know anything yet.
You can't go like this.
Oh, my.
I feel like he's sucking my soul right out of me.
(The Beginner's Guide to World History)
Your Chinese tutor will be here tomorrow.
Which countries have you visited?
France, England,
Vietnam, Japan...
Eleven countries in total.
I've seen it a few times on TV,
but I can't imagine what it'd be like.
Have lunch with us before you leave.
I've gained some weight, so I should skip lunch.
I've been snacking a lot.
I think you look great now.
It's Deung Myung.
Hello? Yes.
Sure.
He said he'd drop by. He asked if you could fix him some lunch.
We don't have enough time to make dumplings.
Let's make sujebi, Mother.
Shall we?
Tell the florist to decorate my house with some flowers.
How many flowers?
Not too many.
Tell the florist not to go overboard.
It's my former housekeeper's number, but she has changed her number.
Is there a way to find out her new number?
Come and eat.
You really did it.
It's very thin.
Well done.
This is nothing,
compared to cooking rice over a wood fire.
Oh, my.
I've never had such thin sujebi before.
How is this even possible?
Forget a floating weed.
Even if I must fly around like a dry leaf,
I would gladly do it if I could just see your face for a long time.
Mother is putting on quite the show.
- Thank you for everything. - No problem.
Did you hire a catering company?
Yes. The chairwoman didn't want the house to smell like food.
Do you know what's going on?
I was told that the family would be here along with a guest.
You'd better prepare yourself mentally.
You could be quite shocked.
Is the guest someone famous?
Is the chairwoman arriving now?
Got it.
I shouldn't have been so harsh to Se Mi.
Who knew I'd end up in such a pickle?
What if one of them faints or something?
Time will solve everything.
What do you think?
We'll meet him first and see.
Chi Gam, this isn't about the guy.
Are we going to just play dumb about what Mom's up to?
Or should we intervene and reveal it?
That it's all a lie and was staged?
That makes no sense, knowing Mother's personality.
It makes sense because it's Mom.
Mom is no ordinary woman.
I'll take care of it.
Look, Se Mi.
Strictly speaking, this is all on you.
- You think it's my fault? - Is it not?
I really need to speak out today, for once.
Admit it already.
- Go ahead and speak out. - Clearly, Mom's doing this...
because she's under extreme stress.
I'll find a butler,
so stop provoking Mom.
Okay?
It's none of your business, so stay out of this.
How is it none of my business? I'm her son.
I will not turn a blind eye to this issue anymore.
Because of you...
In any case,
let me handle this today.
Deung Myung can't join us?
He'll be here soon.
Are you guys hungry?
No.
The happiest moment...
in my life was...
when I birthed and held you guys in my arms for the very first time.
And...
the most heartbreaking moment in my life was...
when your father passed away.
As they say, "The mind is a funny thing."
Back then,
I was so devastated that I wanted to die too,
but I had you guys.
They say, "Time heals all wounds."
(Ju Nam)
There's still 30 minutes left.
Can he not make it?
(Ju Nam)
It's Deung Myung.
Old sayings are never wrong.
They say, "You never know what tomorrow may bring."
Life never goes as planned.
My point, exactly.
Now, she's my cousin-in-law.
Could I get a glass of water?
- Sure. - You'll lose your appetite...
because it'll fill you up.
I'm parched.
So am I.
Can you make me a cocktail?
With tequila, ma'am?
Yes.
Se Mi.
I should tell you...
I'm here.
Come on in.
Uncle's here. Director Ju Nam.
Why are you here?
You didn't even call me.
Good to see you.
(Durian's Affair)
The night you ended up in the present,
- was it nighttime in the past too? - Yes.
I feel... I can't describe it in words.
Let's see, Young Master.
- Do you see something? - I missed you,
although it was only one week.
- You must be tired. - They just published this article.
- This article... - Se Mi.
I should tell you...
I was so surprised when I heard Mother remarried.
I should've been there.
Why are you here? You didn't even call me.
Hello, I've heard a lot about you.
- He's my uncle. - Nice to meet you.
- Are you dating an actress? - No.
We registered our marriage on Monday without a wedding ceremony.
If you don't believe us, you can check the documents.
This is absurd!
I got a call from the hospital. They said they found something...
and that additional tests were required.
Oh, my goodness.
Where is So Jeo?
Why?
If you're my father-in-law, I am your mother!
You're saying that so I'd hear it!
Ma'am, you should also...
If she wants a reading, she should pay for it herself, right?
Should I believe this or not?
Is it really true?
I tried to figure out a solution that could benefit all of us.
- How could you say such a thing? - Think about it.
Don't you feel so bad for Chi Gam?
So Jeo's mother-in-law is here.
- Do you know her? - She's there alone?
There's a pond scene in the script,
so I'm going to the cottage in Singal to check out the pond.
I forgot to bring the solar eclipse glasses.
Don't look at it, even with sunglasses on.
He's so sweet.
Is the solar eclipse over?
Hello.
