Kim Choo Ja!
Oh, my. Honey.
Oh, my.
(Episode 3)
Are you okay?
Don't make a fuss. I'm fine.
Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry.
- I'm sorry. - It's fine.
Oh, my.
Hey, come here. Stay still.
- Your suit is a mess. - Give that to me.
My goodness. Why are you here?
Should I stand around...
watching you and another man go into a hotel?
What are you saying? Another man? Who?
Oh, my back.
My back hurts.
No way. We met for the first time today.
What?
And you're headed right to the hotel?
Hey.
What are you trying to do with my wife?
- What's with you? Let me go. - Who are you?
You're insane. This is all but a misunderstanding.
Will you stop them?
- You jerk. - Hey.
Stop it already.
Oh, my. Seok Hoon.
What happened?
Well, what happened was...
Seok Hoon?
So this is my son.
What? Your son?
Your son? Who's your son?
Hey, it's a misunderstanding.
He's not my real son. He's my son for the day.
I am acting as his mom just for today's meeting.
Nice to meet you, Son.
Just for today's meeting?
I thought we were just dining with your mom.
I was going to tell you, but...
What's going on?
Doesn't he know?
What a day.
My back hurts too much to stay.
I'll use the money to treat my back. Okay?
Hey, we need a dad at the wedding meeting.
Hey.
Choo Ja, where are you going? Stop right there.
No way. I can't run any more. Excuse me.
Stop running away.
My gosh. You ruined everything.
I'm here to act as his mom because he doesn't have parents.
I already got paid too.
What?
Were you going to pretend that a stranger is your husband...
and attend the wedding meeting?
That's a fraud.
You can't deceive people like that.
Gosh, it's hot!
What happened? Is there a fire?
- You shouldn't move, ma'am. - My goodness.
Make it even more fluffier.
They're a doctor and a professor. They must be extremely elegant.
I should look as gorgeous as they do. Do you understand?
Honey, this is not a fraud. It's just a part-time job.
It's just like hiring people to pretend to be wedding guests.
You're deceiving people anyway. That makes it a fraud.
Just come with me.
Seok Hoon, wait.
Who do you take me for?
Did you think you could look down on me because I'm an orphan?
If I had told you beforehand, you wouldn't have come here.
I was going to explain when you come.
Explain what?
Did you think I'd pretend...
those strangers are my parents?
I'm sorry.
Can't you play along just for once?
I'll tell Mom that your parents went back to the States.
They'll never meet again.
I promise I won't hurt your feelings.
I couldn't feel any worse than this.
Seok Hoon.
Because I'm an orphan,
I worked harder.
I didn't want anyone to look down on me. I trusted only myself.
But you're humiliating me right now.
You're treating me like I'm nobody.
I know how you're feeling,
but what about me?
If my mom finds out the truth, we won't be able to get married.
I had to do this.
Can't you forgive me this one time?
Forget it.
I'm not going to do it.
You just don't want to do it.
It's not that you can't do it.
Have you ever done something just for me?
I fell for you first, and I clung onto you.
Why did you even want to marry me?
I'll wait.
I don't care whether they're your real parents or not.
I'll make my mom meet your parents.
I'll marry you.
So come.
If you do love me,
please come.
They seem to be breaking up.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Well...
I'm sorry I'm being nosy,
but I can understand the girl.
I'm an orphan too.
We ran away from my wife's father who was against our marriage.
I went to see him after our kids were born, hoping he'd forgive me.
He had already passed away.
He didn't want to see his daughter even on his deathbed.
Because of me.
Because he hated me.
I wished I had pretended to have parents.
If I had, my wife wouldn't have broken her father's heart.
She could have been there when her father passed away.
Your conversation...
reminded me of that.
I'm not saying that it's okay to deceive people.
I'm just saying this is life.
There's nothing you should never do.
It's not for yourself.
For someone you love, you sometimes have to put up with something.
Not having parents is never a sin,
but it sometimes makes you guilty.
I know how you're feeling, but are you sure you want to do this?
Your fiance went away. What are you going to do?
He'll come back.
You don't have to yell at me.
If he doesn't come back,
I'll take care of it then.
Min Hee.
Mom.
I guess you went so early to escort Seok Hoon's mother.
Yes.
This is my mother.
Mother.
Right. I'm supposed to be the mother.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
I heard so much about you.
We finally meet here.
Honey.
I've been looking for you.
What are you doing here?
Honey.
Honey?
You must be Seok Hoon's father.
Hello.
I'm Min Hee's mother.
Who are you?
Honey. She's Seok Hoon's finacee's mother.
Has your mind gone blank because it's so sudden?
Seok Hoon's fiancee's mother?
The thing is...
Please go in first. We need a moment.
Min Hee, go in with your mother.
Okay. Let's go, Mom.
Okay.
Go in.
Why did you play along?
You even got me involved.
Why did you show up at that moment?
It's already happened. Let's just go along with it.
That's absurd.
Look.
- Is it because of the money? - What do you take me for?
The money does mean a lot,
but I feel sorry for the young man.
- That's why. - I'm not going to do it.
- Let's go home. - Honey.
Where are you going? Meet my fiancee's mother.
You were already paid.
Pretend you're my parents.
They should know better than this.
How can they keep me waiting?
I'll take a look.
I'm sorry I'm late.
We waited for him to come. We're sorry.
It's okay. Please sit down.
Is he just frugal or is he poor?
What kind of doctor would dress like that?
He came here straight from his volunteer work.
I apologize.
It's not long ago you came back from the States.
It's so kind of you.
He does a lot of volunteer work.
He wants to make use of his medical knowledge.
I see.
You have two doctors in your family.
I guess you'll never have to see any other doctor.
I dressed the patient in Room 303.
Please take care of the others. I'm late.
Is Dr. Han really marrying your sister?
Yes. Do you know what's even more amazing?
His father is a professor of surgery at University of Chicago.
Who knows if I'll get a chance to be transferred there?
- I'll get going. - See you.
I didn't know University of Chicago had a Korean professor of surgery.
Min Hee.
Your mother is as beautiful as you.
You think so?
Then again, when I was young,
people would be amazed at how beautiful I was.
So did I.
People thought I should become an actress.
Only if I hadn't run away with my husband.
You ran away?
I mean, we moved to the States.
I see.
You didn't become an actress,
but you got a son as handsome as an actor.
Oh, my. I just noticed...
Seok Hoon looks exactly like his father.
Do you not like the food?
That's not it.
It's just a cough.
I'm so sorry to say this,
but at first, I was against this marriage.
- Don't say that. - It's fine.
She said she met him in the States, but I couldn't trust him.
I don't know where he's from.
But I heard about you two and felt relieved.
His father is a well-known doctor and his mother is a professor.
I'm sure he's brought up well.
Of course.
My son is...
a very diligent man.
He's smart and handsome.
He's a man of self-confidence.
I never get worried about him. I've always been proud of him.
Min Hee is also a precious girl who never got me worried.
She's all grown up now and is getting married.
I have a daughter, so I know how you feel. Don't worry.
Seok Hoon, I thought you were an only child.
Do you have a sister?
I don't know.
Do I have a sister?
She's talking about her students.
She calls them her sons and daughters.
Oh, really?
You two are very blessed...
and warm-hearted.
Please, you're my last hope.
(Scratch-off lottery)
You're my last hope. Please.
Please.
Darn it!
What is this?
Why is Sae Na texting me?
What is it?
"News flash."
"Mom was arrested around 12pm today."
"You should come home before Dad gets you."
What? Did she get caught?
Where are your manners?
It was me, Ms. Sa.
Do you listen to trot music as a music professor?
I've been researching trot music recently.
There is a Korean soul in traditional Korean music.
I am trying to capture that with my vocal major.
Oh, my. That's awesome.
I have an operation to prepare. Please excuse me first.
- Seok Hoon. - Wait.
We haven't even started talking about the wedding.
You can do as you wish.
Goodbye.
Dr. Han, I'm late.
- Where are you going? - What's with him?
- Wait! - Well.
He mentioned something about an emergency patient.
I guess it's about that. I'm so sorry.
Excuse me.
Hey, Min Hee. What's wrong?
Why are they both acting weird?
Did they both just ignore me?
My goodness, you must be Min Hee's brother.
Hello. I'm Bae Min Kyu.
Sir, I was really expecting to meet you.
I wanted to hear about medical schools in Chicago.
Pardon?
Well.
Oh, my. I'm so sorry.
Let's get you to the restroom.
Okay. I guess so.
Excuse us.
Thank you for sticking with me.
This must've been a first.
It's not a first. I've done this.
When sponsors came to the orphanage,
we were forced to eat, smile, and take pictures with them.
It was the same after I got adopted.
I am very good at pretending like I'm from a normal family.
But I didn't think...
I'd do that with you.
That's real.
That's good. Let's make subtitles and finish up.
Okay.
I spent the whole night doing this.
May I rest for a bit?
Hey. You're not in position to rest.
You need to go and conduct a preliminary research.
Your idea about emergency rooms was chosen.
- Really? - Nice.
Daehan Hospital will cooperate. Go and take a look.
Daehan Hospital?
It's an emergency.
Grandma and Mom. Pretend not to know me, okay?
What are you talking about?
Even if I do a shooting here, pretend like you don't know me.
This is great.
I'll tell them all about you and make you quit.
Mom.
If you want to be a producer, just ask your dad.
We own a broadcasting network.
Yes. Ji Sang can work at the broadcasting network...
and Joon Sang can work at our headquarters.
That's only right.
Isn't that right?
Yes, of course.
Of course.
I really don't want to be the kind of guy with connections.
If anyone finds out about me because of you,
I'm going to volunteer to go shoot in a remote area.
Do you understand?
Did she really get caught?
Or is this a trap to get me?
Who set up the trap?
Dad. Who else?
Father.
That hurts.
Mom, I thought you were going to work. Why did you get caught?
I didn't think he'd find me.
What a great pair of mom and daughter.
Let's go! Come in.
I thought Dad caught Mom. Why aren't they here?
Oh, my. Sae Na.
I told you not to push.
I didn't know she would come out.
- I have a bump on my head. - Really?
Let me see that.
Leave her alone. She's just exaggerating.
Mom.
Seol Hwa. My baby.
You're really home, Mom.
I'm here too.
Yes. Good to have you back.
Oh, my baby.
I was so worried.
You're making this all too dramatic.
Everyone, come in!
(Family motto: Do not look back. Eat as served. Don't waste food.)
What is our first family motto?
- "Do not look back." - "Do not look back."
Louder.
- "Do not look back." - "Do not look back."
Yes. Do not look back.
Do not count the money you already lost.
If you two are back sound and healthy, that's enough.
We won't blame anyone about what happened in the past.
I'll take care of the money.
Thanks, Honey.
- I'm sorry, Dad. - Also,
if anyone talks about pyramid marketing or shopping malls,
I will kick you out then. Got it?
Of course. Don't worry. It won't happen again.
- Doo Na? - I understand.
- Dad, I... - Again?
No, I wasn't going to bring up the internet shopping mall.
It's about dumplings.
I want your dumplings.
Haven't you been eating right? You got so skinny.
You lost so much weight.
Wait.
I'll get some from our store.
You stay here and take some rest.
Mom.
These are for you.
Why are you giving me shoes?
Dad said you were wearing worn-out shoes.
I was worried about you.
Why did you do that? You could have called me.
I was feeling too sorry.
I felt ashamed of myself.
Never run away again.
You shouldn't give me shoes then.
Giving shoes as a present makes you part from each other.
That won't happen. I'll cling onto you all the time.
- My baby. - I love your smell.
Mom, how can you smile in a situation like this?
Do you want your mom to be crying?
You brat.
- Let's go. - Okay.
She acts like Seol Hwa is her real daughter.
What are you doing?
I let you come in, but I haven't forgiven you yet.
I'll forgive you when you reflect on your actions.
Forget it. You're so petty.
How nice!
There's no place like home.
Honey, I'm thinking about the doctor.
Doctor?
The one we pretended to be his parents.
He's the same age as Han Dol.
If Han Dol had been alive,
he would have become a handsome man like him.
He would have...
introduced us to his fiancee too.
Cut it out and sleep.
(Min Hee)
(Geum's Dumplings)
Dad, where are you going?
I have to deliver some dumplings.
Did you make them this morning?
It must be a special order. They're not in the usual box.
Kind of.
- Where are you going so early? - I have a shooting.
We're shooting at Daehan Hospital starting from today.
You are?
I'm actually on my way there.
Really? I can deliver it for you, then.
Who is it for?
Tell him that it's from the person he met at the hotel yesterday.
Is anyone here?
Excuse me.
Doctor, are you sleeping?
Dr. Han Seok Hoon.
Why are you here?
(Golden Pocket)
I mean it. Get out.
I don't want to see you or your parents again.
Are you crazy? How dare you enter my operating room?
My dad put so much effort into these dumplings.
Please don't throw them away.
Seok Hoon is an adoptee.
It was a lie that his father is a professor of surgery.
