(Episode 21)
Father and Mother.
I'm sorry.
I should've visited you long ago.
I'm ready...
to take all your criticism.
How dare you come in here?
I'm sorry.
Have a seat first.
You too.
Say what you want to say.
I'm truly sorry. I should've visited you first...
and asked for your permission to date her.
I suggested that we live together.
She hesitated and I convinced her.
It's all...
my fault.
I'm sorry.
You know so well, so how could you pull this out?
I'm sorry.
So what are you planning to do from now on?
If you give me permission and if she accepts it,
I'd like to marry her.
Who says it's okay to marry her?
You're so irresponsible and careless.
So how can I let you marry her?
If you had considered her circumstances,
you'd never have done this.
You suggested this first?
You're a man, so it may not be a big deal, but she's a girl.
If you really cared for her, you wouldn't do something like this.
Mom.
I'm not a child.
I wanted this and I decided on this myself.
You stay quiet on this.
She's right. Stay put.
I'm sorry.
Okay. I get your point.
Leave for today.
- Father. - I said to leave.
Okay.
Then I'll leave for today.
I'll visit you again...
when your anger goes down.
Why would you come here again?
I have no intention of taking you in as my son-in-law.
I'm sorry once again.
I expected this,
but they're really upset.
You poured fuel into the fire.
Why did you bring up our marriage all of the sudden?
I came to apologize too,
but your father asked, so...
Go on. I need to get back inside.
Mom is furious like that.
Right. You should go inside. Bye.
Go back in.
- Call me later. - Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
Why all of the sudden?
What? Marriage?
Goodness.
It's unbelievable. He suggested first?
Why did she get convinced? She was siding him there too.
You did well.
If you hadn't scolded them like that,
I would've scolded them even more.
That's only a little side of what I wanted to say.
I was about to begin, and you told him to leave.
I couldn't stand watching him there.
You should've left him be so that I could swear him as I want to.
You must have been surprised.
I didn't agree on his coming here.
I had no idea.
Why would I be surprised?
What's more surprising is my eldest daughter...
deceiving me and living with another guy.
And how dare he come here?
What does he think you are that he barged in here?
Well...
I can't say a thing if you're being like this.
What?
Well... He felt like he had to do something.
He came here to apologize anyhow.
So what do you think?
Are you going to marry him?
I'll think about it.
I've never thought of marrying someone.
You lived with him, and yet you've never thought of marrying him?
No.
I've never thought of it.
And you lived with him?
I'll think about it from now on.
Okay.
Give it a thought.
All right.
You can go now.
Okay.
Whose daughter is she?
She acts like she's done nothing wrong.
- Goodness. - My gosh.
- What's wrong? - Sit down.
Are you going to marry him?
You heard it all at the door.
I've never thought about it, and I'm thinking now.
There's no way you've given it a thought. Be honest.
You're not saying you won't marry him, right?
Right, tell us. I'm going crazy out of curiosity here.
Don't tell our parents.
I...
won't marry anyone.
- Why not? - Why not?
Didn't you decide to live with him because you like him?
I do, but I don't want to get married.
Why is that? You like him.
If you like him, then you should get married. Isn't it right?
Marriage is just an option nowadays.
Look how singles are increasing.
Then you shouldn't have lived with him in the first place.
You lied to your parents and lived with him.
Now, you don't want to marry him?
That'd be a huge shock for Mom and Dad.
Right, think of our parents.
They believe you'll get married.
I really don't get it.
You like him, and he has a decent job.
He's not bad looking.
Above all, he's willing to take a bad temper like you as his wife.
Then you should get married.
Okay, I'll think about it.
Don't tell our parents, okay?
Don't tell them, okay?
This is unbelievable.
She seemed sure about it.
Come and have a seat.
Did you break up with her?
No.
Why aren't you breaking up with her? I told you so.
I told you I won't break up with her.
You brat.
Are you not going to...
- listen to your mother? - No.
I can't listen to you this time.
Let me make this clear.
I plan on marrying her.
I told you many times that I won't allow it.
You can't marry her just because you want to!
Why are you so against her?
She's a well known lawyer.
She's the most wanted future wife.
Being a lawyer is nothing. Go outside.
You'll find so many of them on the streets.
What do you mean by that when you said you wouldn't allow...
if it's the girl from eight years ago?
I meant it's certainly no.
- I didn't like her eight years ago. - Mom.
She never greets me.
Even though there was the incident in the police station,
she should've at least greeted me since I'm your mother.
I've never seen such an impolite girl like her.
And her mom too.
Please stop saying that, Mom.
And that was...
Anyway, I don't need to say anything more.
I have no inclination of taking that girl in...
as a daughter-in-law, so break up with her now.
Understood?
Why are you leaving without answering me?
Break up with her immediately.
Why are you so against her?
You can meet her first...
and decide just like he said.
I said, no.
I can't take her mom or her.
You have to take my side no matter what, okay?
Take my side this time or else.
Are you asleep?
If you aren't, let's talk.
I know you aren't sleeping. Wake up, Hye Young.
Turn off the lights. I'm going to sleep.
Hye Young.
Why don't you want to get married?
We really don't understand.
You should consider our parents too.
If Mom and Dad finds out, they'll be really worried.
They might be even sadder than the time...
they found out about you living with him.
Like Jun Young said, it might be a huge disobedience.
Hye Young.
Let's go to sleep. She said she'll think about it.
She'll come around.
Lie down.
Okay. Give me a second.
Come to the rooftop now.
What is it, Actor Ahn? It's pretty late.
I know that it's late.
But you all go around in groups, so I was waiting here.
Come and sit.
Okay.
Were things bad at home recently because of Hye Young?
Is it because she lives with Producer Cha?
Did you notice?
Yes.
Why is that a problem?
It's not like either one of them is married.
They're well over 30 and they're adults.
This isn't the US. It's Korea.
People here are skeptical about living together before marriage.
The bigger problem...
is that she lied to my parents.
She moved out saying she'll live with a friend,
but she was really living with him.
That's why my parents are very disappointed...
and they feel betrayed.
They were always proud of her...
and they depended on her quite a lot too.
Especially to Mom, Hye Young was her pride and joy.
They probably feel the most betrayed from the one they trusted the most.
That's deep.
It's really deep,
but I do understand now.
I'm glad you understand.
I was really frustrated because no one would tell me.
Oh, I'm sorry. I was going to tell you,
but this was Hye Young's privacy.
Of course. Don't mind me. I understand everything.
Now, this is the last question.
What should I do in times like these?
Should I continue to pretend like I don't know?
It'll be better if you do something.
Do you want to buy some porridge?
Porridge?
Mom and Dad haven't been able to eat for two days.
I think they might eat if you get them something.
What do you think? You can make a good impression on the family.
Catching 2 birds with 1 stone.
Porridge.
I think that's a good idea. Let's do it.
Right? Let's do it.
What should I make for breakfast?
I'm sure both of them have no appetite.
I'll make sesame porridge, Mom's favorite.
Jun Young, you don't have to cook breakfast today.
What are these?
Porridge. Actor Ahn bought them.
Can you set them on the table? I'll bring Mom and Dad.
Could you move?
They look great, right?
You didn't have to.
Right.
It must've been troublesome to get them so early in the morning.
I heard you two haven't been eating lately,
so I got some special abalone porridge.
I also bought some blueberry cheesecake...
because I heard you like it. It's in the fridge.
Sweet desserts are the best when you are feeling down.
Gosh, you didn't have to. Thank you.
Yes, thank you.
Then let's have some porridge for breakfast today.
Let's eat.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
This is good.
It's good.
It must be because it's special.
Since when did they get so close?
If they were going to get porridge, they could've told me about it.
I make killer porridge.
What? Is this a scene from "The Bodyguard"?
Yes.
Hey, keep it going. Go, Judo.
All right.
Actor Ahn is on his way.
- That's it. - Please, Actor Ahn.
- Okay. - Get in.
What?
My gosh, I thought I caught a fly.
I had to get it.
Grandma.
What? Did it hurt?
No, I'm fine.
Oh, are you on your way to work?
Yes.
I see. Goodbye.
Sure.
Please.
Get in.
Judo, it's more dangerous to drive that close to the handle.
- Try to relax. - Okay.
Yes. Put your back into the seat.
Into the seat. Completely.
I'm sorry.
Yes. Sure. It's fine. Go.
Okay.
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
I thought I was being careful.
Exactly. I thought so. I'm not fine.
But I'll be fine. Just go.
Okay.
Wait, I think my brain just shook.
Judo, my head will break open.
Get out.
What?
What is this situation?
The actor is driving the manager to work.
I'm sorry.
I'll practice hard.
Do that.
Thank you.
How are your parents?
Right.
They're better.
We even ate together this morning.
I'm glad.
Hye Young.
Will you marry me?
What I said yesterday wasn't on the spur of moment.
I want to marry you.
I have no desire to get married.
Of course.
I'm sure you never thought of it.
It hasn't been a while since we've been seeing each other again.
Jeong Hwan, about the institution called marriage.
Isn't that too outdated as it was created...
when human's average life expectancy is 40 years.
Now, our average life expectancy went beyond...
100 years. Rather, it seems to be 120 years.
Isn't it too cruel to love only one person...
in their entire life?
Especially, in cases for women in Korea,
marriage works as a huge disadvantage.
Some even say Korean daughters-in-law...
are like servants in the caste system.
This society will never...
be able to provide marriage that I want.
I'm not kidding.
I'm not either.
Why do you want to get married?
We've been happy enough.
Let's just date like this.
Until when?
Jeong Hwan.
I...
am not a suitable woman to get married to.
I'm not confident and willing to...
fulfill the responsibilities which I will have...
after marriage.
In other words,
rather than being someone's wife,
daughter-in-law, and mother,
I choose to stay as I am.
I want to live for myself.
You don't want to live as my wife?
Well.
Being your wife isn't...
the only thing that comes with the marriage.
I wish to relax myself and do other activities...
like going to a concert after work.
I don't want to be burdened to do house chores.
You can go for concerts and do other activities.
I'll do a lot of house chores.
I don't want to feel guilty for not being able to do house chores well.
You don't have to be good at house chores.
I don't want to feel restricted,
being responsible for all the holiday gatherings either.
I'll take care of it all. I won't make you suffer.
Most of all, marriage doesn't work out...
just because the two of us love each other.
Especially in Korea,
a marriage combines the two families.
Do you think your mother will like me?
I'll do my best in convincing both our parents.
I know you feel uncomfortable with my mother...
because of that police station incident.
I understand, but that's not her all.
If you still feel uncomfortable around her, I'll try my best to...
I don't want to get married.
I've never thought of marrying someone.
Do you not want to get married,
or do you not want to marry me?
Then why...
do you want to marry me?
Because I love you.
I want to share my future with you.
Is marriage the only way?
It can be the end of your love.
I've seen so many couples separate as enemies.
I don't want to hear those general stories.
I'll ask you again.
Do you not want to get married,
or do you not want to marry me?
- Both. - Why?
I thought living together with you...
was a step to our marriage.
We're not young, and we've met for years.
I thought it was the same for you too.
I thought you wanted us to get to know each other more...
and see if we do great living together.
Was it not?
You've never had a marriage in mind?
No, I've never...
had it in mind.
Why didn't you tell me from the beginning?
You didn't ask me.
Hye Young.
I'm sorry...
for not telling you this from the start.
But still,
I won't marry anyone.
Okay,
I see.
I get your point.
I'm sorry. I'll leave first.
Where are you coming from?
You weren't with her, were you?
Stop dragging this around, and end it with her.
That punk. Do you not even hear me now?
They're drying machines.
Oh, look here.
I thought this one was perfect last time when I came.
I don't know much about it.
Is this a nice model?
You can stand up while doing laundry.
I'll be hard for me to bend down later on.
This is nice. What do you think?
I like it if you like it.
It'll be hard to do the laundry as we have many family members.
It'd be convenient to wash the clothes at once with this.
- Let's buy this one. - Okay.
These are for my school friends.
These are for my colleagues.
Thinking that I'd give these out to my colleagues,
I'm worried a little.
Why?
Companies hate married women without a child the most.
They'll take a maternity leave once they give birth.
Then companies will be short of resources,
so they're likely to get fired.
You're a competent team manager. They wouldn't do that to you.
Who knows? Those married women...
didn't get fired because they weren't competent.
This really worries me.
So Jun Young,
make sure you pass the exam.
I know.
Oh, right. Yoo Joo.
Shouldn't we go to...
your parents' grave before the wedding?
That's the right thing to do.
Actually, my parents...
are alive.
What? Then...
They got divorced when I was young and got remarried.
I barely got in touch with them ever since.
I used to call them once in a while,
but they didn't seem so happy.
They wouldn't come even if we invite them.
What they're concerned is if they should pay for my wedding.
I don't want to contact them...
because I'm afraid of getting hurt again.
I see.
You should've told me so.
I'm sorry. Are you upset?
Not at all.
I understand how you feel.
It must've been hard for you.
Yoo Joo.
I'll be your father,
your brother,
and your husband for you.
Thank you.
You came home early.
Hi, there. Do you want to drink?
Gosh, that'd be nice.
Uncle,
I think there are various kinds of parents.
Why all of the sudden?
I just came to think of it.
I wish to become a good father like my parents.
Will I be able to?
Good parents.
That's not easy, you know.
These days, good parents...
should be able to support their kids financially.
I think I'm out already.
You give it a try.
Don't say that. Not every father would work so hard like you.
The world isn't giving me a chance to live hard.
Why?
Is something the matter?
Well, I...
plan to close down my shop after your wedding.
I have to say goodbye to my photo studio.
I...
shut it down.
I couldn't tell anyone because they'll be worried.
Uncle.
Don't turn out like me. Be a good man.
Let's drink.
Do you have instant noodles?
No.
Let's eat these chips.
How can I face Mr. Park today?
I'll have to avoid him at least for today.
I'll die out of embarrassment if I see him today.
Hello.
You can have this.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
My lover, should we eat together?
Have a great lunch.
You should eat with us.
I'm afraid someone will misunderstand us again.
No, I just ate.
I just saw you leave without eating.
Don't mind us. You should eat.
How can I not mind you two?
See? I knew you'd laugh at me.
Hey, you should know how you two were suspicious.
You gave rings to each other...
and hugged each other with touched faces.
You two looked too affectionate. It's only natural I took it wrong.
I guess we are very affectionate.
Don't do that. I don't want to be misunderstood.
Are you making fun of me?
Ms. Byun.
You can be very cute.
Anyway, I'm sorry.
Especially you, Mr. Park.
You should've stopped me when I babbled on about how we're friends.
Why are you only friends with him and not me?
That's when I thought you two were an item.
Now...
Now what?
Anyway, that's all.
If you don't want to be a friend,
what about your boyfriend?
Let's just be friends.
Ra Young.
I have a class to teach.
Young Hee, follow me.
Hey, are you telling me to get a hanbok tailored?
What about you?
I'm going to rent it out.
Then forget about it.
I'll rent one too. It's not like I'm their parents.
I don't need new clothes.
You should get one tailored.
I want to give you a great hanbok. That's why.
Really?
What about me? Should I wear hanbok too?
You should rent one with me.
Oh, okay.
But it seemed like Hye Young will get married soon.
If we make one now, we'll use it for many occasions.
That's true.
Hye Young will get married soon, wouldn't she?
No. We don't know yet.
The guy that Hye Young is dating.
I heard he's the son of that weird landlady.
- Yes. - My goodness.
Then you'll end up becoming in-laws...
with that awful woman.
We don't know what'll happen.
And I have no desire to become in-laws with that woman.
- None? - But still.
They lived together. You have to let them get married.
You're pretty outdated for someone who's young.
I don't think so.
It's not anything huge...
for them to have stayed together for a short while.
I heard many young people these days live together...
when they like each other.
- Mother, you should choose one. - What?
Which one do you think will look good on me?
- Come on, smile. - Leave me.
- Over here. - Hey.
Did you start drinking by yourself?
Why? What's wrong?
Jeong Hwan asked me to marry him.
We got caught living together.
What did you tell him?
I said I can't.
That's why he's really angry right now.
Why don't you give it a thought?
He's good man to be married to.
And a marriage isn't all bad.
There are strengths.
Sure. If I consider just Jeong Hwan,
I guess it wouldn't be harmful to marry that guy.
However,
I can't marry him unless he's born again.
What?
It's because of his mom.
What do you mean?
I've met his mom...
eight years ago.
She didn't throw me an envelope full of money,
but she treated me like one of the untouchables.
She told me to break up with her son immediately.
She said people should date someone in their league.
Is that so?
Jeong Hwan once paid my academy tuition.
I was in a trouble because my part-time job didn't pay me.
I was really angry at him because I found out later...
and I paid him right back.
But when his mom came to see me,
she said,
"Your parents must be incapable of paying your tuition."
That's when I knew what it was like to see stars in your eyes.
Is that why you broke up with him?
His mom is awful.
Why didn't you tell Jeong Hwan that?
You should've told him.
That was my pride back then.
I can only say things like that now because I'm confident about myself.
Eight years ago,
I wouldn't have dared to speak of this.
I felt as if I was an insect.
And that's a way of showing my consideration for him.
I mean, I could say I was unlucky and never see her again,
but that's not his case. She's his mom.
No way.
Are you really the Hye Young I know?
I never knew you were such a noble woman.
I rose from a humble family.
Hey, I'm a woman of stature.
Have you ever seen anyone like me look after someone?
Think about it. When you get married,
you have to look after your husband and your children.
You're still conceited.
When I told my family that I wasn't going to get married,
my brother and sisters treated me like the worst daughter in history.
How does this make me a bad daughter?
I'll live with my parents and look after them.
That's a good daughter.
My friend, you were born in the wrong time.
You should've been born overseas or in the future.
I'm being wrongfully accused here.
Cha Jeong Hwan. Why is he mad at me?
He never asked, did he?
He never asked me whether I had intentions...
to get married or not.
Was I that wrong not to have told him?
Yes.
You were wrong. You should've told him from the start.
Then...
he shouldn't have a mother like that in the first place.
Was I born on this earth to carry out the mission to get married?
Now that I'm over 30,
people never ask me what my future plans are.
Why do they only want to know when I plan to get married?
Gosh.
(Father's Snackfood)
Mom. Before Yoo Joo moves in,
I think we'll have to reassign the rooms.
That's right. I almost forgot.
- Joong Hee. - Yes?
I'm sorry,
but if you wouldn't mind, could you change rooms with Jun Young?
Jun Young's room? Then do you mean the roof top?
That's right.
I couldn't have someone expecting a baby use the stairs.
And I couldn't send the girls up to the rooftop as well.
I see. That makes sense.
All right. I'll move upstairs.
I appreciate it.
While we're at it, I'd also like to make a suggestion.
Why don't we make a plan on how we use the bathroom?
We can set up a schedule.
Set up a schedule?
Yes.
We'll be having a new family member. I've mentioned it before.
I'm not usually like this, but I'm quite sensitive...
when it comes to using the bathroom.
I won't get in the way when everyone's getting ready for work.
I won't use the bathroom at all in the morning.
But when I'm in the bathroom, please don't knock on the door.
- I can we know you're in there? - What?
There's a way to know. We can put up the name tags...
of whoever's in there in front of the door.
I've mentioned it before.
I have a huge problem when using the bathroom.
With all the knocking from outside, it makes it so difficult...
for me when I'm inside.
Excuse me for saying this at the table,
I can't seem to take care of my business in there.
Who plans when to go to the bathroom? We can knock, can't we?
He has a point though, Jun Young.
If we need to, we could use the main bedroom or go to grandmother's,
but that wouldn't be easy for Actor Ahn yet.
That's right. Since it won't affect the morning hours, let's do that.
You're all okay with that, right?
Yes.
- Yes. - And one more thing.
How about we wear slippers indoors?
I can't sleep from the sound of footsteps going to the bathroom.
That must be more difficult since you've been living alone.
Let's do that. Let's start wearing slippers from now on.
I'll prepare the slippers then.
You don't have to do that, but if you insist.
Ra Young. You didn't deposit this month's living expenses.
- Actor Ahn. - They pay living expenses?
Then I should pay my share.
No. There's no need to.
Why not? Of course I should since I live here.
If I don't pay, that would be unfair to the others.
If you insist on it. I appreciate it.
All right.
Actor Ahn. I think you'll have to hurry.
It's your first shooting today. We should leave earlier than usual.
Today's finally the first shooting?
Yes.
- We've arrived. - Can you hand me the coffee?
Quince tea is better for your throat than caffeine,
and it's known to help relieve tension, Actor Ahn.
Then prepare it with ice next time. The weather's getting hot.
I will.
The more the better.
It's the best.
- Please bring us great success. - Good job.
I hope so too.
- Hello. - Hello.
Excuse me.
- About Hye Young... - How are you, Producer Cha?
That's right. You're not in a good situation.
Actor Ahn. You should be getting ready for the shoot.
Yes. Let's get going.
Wait a minute. Hye Young's doing just fine.
Just in case you're worried.
I'm well aware.
It's you first shoot. Don't mess things up and be prepared.
We'll start shooting now.
Get ready.
Joong Hee. Relax and act naturally. It's all right if you hit me hard.
Why do you say I should relax?
I'm not nervous at all.
I just don't want to bruise the main character's face...
by hitting you too hard.
Let's do this again then.
Get ready for this.
Get ready. Action.
How dare you?
Cut!
Joong Hee. You should relax a bit.
You're walking like a robot.
- I'm sorry. I'll do it again. - All right.
Let's do it again.
Get ready. Action.
- How dare you? - Cut!
Joong Hee. What's wrong with you?
You've been walking for the past 35 years, haven't you?
Why are you walking so awkwardly?
Relax a bit and let's finish this in one try.
I'm sorry.
Joong Hee. Why don't you relax?
An actor shouldn't get so nervous in front of the camera.
Get ready.
Action!
How dare you?
Cut!
Is Joong Hee's manager here?
I'm here, sir.
Joong Hee.
Drink some water and relax. We'll continue in a little while.
I'm sorry.
Give me some water.
Give me the script.
"How dare you? Do you have to stab Dad in the back?"
"You know how he cherished you."
("Oh My Boss", Scene Number 52, Take 13,14, 15)
- Cut. - I'm sorry.
Let's do it again. Get ready for action.
Cut.
NG.
Scene 52. Take 36.
Get ready for action.
How dare you? Do you have to stab Dad in the back?
You know how he cherished you.
Cut.
All right.
Let's move on to the next scene.
I'll find a decent copy to use for the scene.
You did a great job.
Aren't you hungry?
You haven't had a bite to eat all day.
I'm not hungry. You go ahead and eat. I'm going to practice.
I'm not hungry either.
Why don't I play the opposite role?
Could you do that?
- I'll start. - All right.
"It's not that you couldn't find Dad, but you weren't looking."
"Why did you suddenly show up?"
"I just..."
"I can't really say it's sudden."
"I think I prepared myself for this for about 20 years."
Wait, wait.
Try to inject just a little bit more emotion.
You sound like a recording.
- Okay. - Let's try again.
"If you missed him,"
"you could've visited."
"You're right."
"But that required some preparation."
I really gave it my best shot.
I'm in no position to lecture anyone.
This is so embarrassing.
I was really embarrassed this one time.
It was when I did judo.
There was this rival athlete I really wanted to beat.
I met that person in the final of a competition.
I'd trained every single day for that competition.
I think I practiced each move at least 3,000 times.
What then?
We met in the final and the referee blew the whistle...
to signal the beginning of the match.
I fell down.
I took a few steps and tripped over my own foot.
I landed like this.
I was too embarrassed to even get up.
I even...
ended up being mentioned in the local paper.
With a photo of me doing this.
Of course, I lost the match and didn't recover for days.
I couldn't even train with the team for a while.
I bet that was embarrassing.
Enough that I wanted to die.
But, you know,
if I were you, on a day like this, I'd have tossed the script...
and gone out to get drunk.
You came here to practice.
I think you're awesome.
What's the point in practicing?
I don't get better.
No.
You improve incredibly in one day.
It happened to me.
A move that...
I'd been practicing for over a year...
and couldn't do even yesterday...
could suddenly work today.
Like magic.
I think that...
as you keep trying, you get better little by little.
In the provincial competition after that disaster,
I beat my rival.
Do you think?
Of course I do. You're trying so hard.
One day, soon, you will reach your full potential.
Maybe even tomorrow.
You smiled.
I'm going to try again. Pick up your script.
Thank you.
We're home. You can let go of the handle now.
Okay. Okay, good.
It's Dad.
He's waiting for us.
What a joke.
He is.
He was concerned about you all day.
He kept texting me.
He should've long ago.
He never cared about me for 35 years.
I bet it was a long day. Did you have dinner?
Yes.
I'm tired. I'd like to go inside.
Yes, of course.
I'm home.
Did Joong Hee do well today?
Yes, he... He did okay.
That's great.
You must be tired too. You should go home.
Okay.
Sit down.
I thought I'd seen you before.
You're the girl from eight years ago.
Did you recognize me at the police station that night?
Yes. I recognized you.
You changed my whole life.
After breaking up with Jeong Hwan that day eight years ago,
I studied really hard and became a lawyer.
Shouldn't you be grateful to me, then?
Not so nasty and malicious?
How could you be so rude to me...
while dating my son yet again?
At the police station and then again at my own cafe.
That was...
about my mother. It had nothing to do with Jeong Hwan.
If you had acted with more decorum,
I would have been polite as well.
I won't drag this out.
Break up with my son.
I didn't like you then and I still don't like you now.
Why won't you answer?
Are you saying you won't leave him?
No.
I'm not the girl you knew eight years ago.
Whatever decision I make,
I will discuss with Jeong Hwan and reach it together.
Goodness, the time. I have to be in court.
I have to go.
My goodness.
What a fool.
He's such a terrible judge of women.
Cha Jeong Hwan.
Will you stop acting like this?
Must you ignore your own mother because of some brat?
- It's Byun Hye Young. - What?
Don't call her "some brat".
She doesn't deserve that.
What's wrong with you? Don't you see right from wrong?
Do you even know what she's like?
She came to my cafe and threatened me.
She talked about illegal additions and improvements to the building.
How can I accept her as a daughter-in-law?
How can someone change so much?
She got the message eight years ago...
and did as she was told.
Now she spits venom like a viper.
She's rude beyond description.
Eight years ago?
What do you mean?
Did you see her eight years ago?
Yes, I did.
What did you say?
Did you tell her to break up with me?
Yes, I did. I told her to leave you.
What for?
Why would you tell her to do that?
Do you expect me to sit and watch while she ruins your life?
She made you pay for her extra lessons.
She leeched off you.
Mom!
How dare you. Don't you dare yell at me!
How could you...
Did you say all that to her face?
What did I just hear?
Did you really do that?
Did you give her a wad of cash too?
Why would I do that? Is that what you think of me?
What do you think? I know you very well.
I feel terrible remorse for siding with you on that issue back then.
Should we...
allow our only son go out with a girl from a family like hers?
My goodness.
I know I shouldn't be...
surprised or disappointed but I am.
What did I do that was so wrong?
Hello.
Why didn't you call to say you were here?
Let's talk.
Is something bothering you?
You met my mom eight years ago.
Why didn't you say so?
How did you find out?
Us breaking up.
Was it because of her?
It's in the past.
How is that in the past?
I asked what had happened so many times.
I wanted to know why.
Then...
is she the reason you're against marriage?
Not just with me but with anyone?
Answer me.
Yes.
Now that you know, I'll tell you everything.
I liked everything about...
living with you.
If it's with you, if it's just with and about you,
I thought that maybe I could get married.
But your mother...
A mother-in-law like her...
I can't deal with it.
I get what you mean. I understand.
Then...
I'll leave home.
I don't dare ask you to...
treat my mom as a mother-in-law.
I will leave home. Let's get married.
Then...
can we get married?
No.
- We can't. - Why not?
I said I'll leave home.
Why would you suddenly say that?
How can you leave your parents to get married?
I don't want to become a witch who tears a family apart,
and there's nothing great about a man who leaves his parents...
for a woman.
Let's forget about marriage...
and just go back to dating like before.
Why did you have to propose and make things more complicated?
Everything was perfectly fine...
until you brought up marriage.
Until when?
How long can we date?
In this state...
we have no future.
Hye Young.
Let's break up.
I'm not...
against marriage.
I'm sorry.
Let's break up.
(Father is Strange)
Yoo Joo's just horrid.
I'll pay for everything from head to toe.
I won't join you. Go inside and have a good time.
I really want you to come with me.
I broke up with the producer.
- Why? Are you that special? - Calm down.
- What for? Let go. - Mom.
I can't let her marry into a family like that.
Are you going to leave home?
Why'd you do it? She's the woman...
your only son wanted to gamble his life on.
