I'm asking if you paid a private loan for Se-ri!
Well, Father...
Father, please hear me out.
Why should I hear the story of pathetic trash?
Honey!
That pathetic trash is...
...your son...
...and can feel pain when beaten!
How dare you.
Doing all the foolish things, how dare you...
Right. I am a foolish idiot.
I've been treated as an idiot, dimwit, moron all my life.
It'd be strange if I didn't become an idiot!
So are you blaming me now?
Yes!
It's all your fault!
Do you know why you first beat me up?
I didn't do well at school unlike my sisters...
...and yet I craved food, so you beat me up!
Father. Father, listen.
That day,
...I felt so sorry that I wasn't a smart son,
...so I cleaned your restaurant,
...even washing down the stairs.
I wanted to hear you say just once,
"My son,
...you did a good job.
Thank you."
How I wished to hear that.
When I was little,
...you told me to be at least half as good as Hae-ryung.
After I married,
...you said, "Listen to Mi-soon. Don't think anything."
Whatever I tried, you said I was wrong.
You cursed me, kicked me anytime in public...
...and gave me a murderous look with a mop.
Father,
...my daughter...
She called me...
...a loser.
Stop, Man-ho.
Is that the reason you laid money at the vixen's feet?
Yes.
Se-ri said that I am her protector.
When I am before Mi-soon, I feel so small and guilty.
But when I am with Se-ri,
...I don't feel like I am useless.
I feel like I'm a man...
...and that I can do everything.
She makes me feel like that.
So?
Are you saying you'll abandon Mi-soon...
...and live with the vixen?
Yes.
We already signed the divorce papers.
Mom!
Man-ho, you... Stop.
Get out.
Get out of my sight now!
Mom, Mom.
Take her in. I'll go after him.
Mom.
It's all my fault.
I failed to raise him well.
It's not your fault. Each of us is to blame.
Satisfied?
You're ridiculous, acting like you are the only victim.
You are Mi-soon's side. Go away.
You're really a fool. A family is always on the same side.
You are not the only victim.
I too am a victim.
When I placed first at school,
...I couldn't enjoy it with you being punished.
When I was elected president of my class, Mom opposed it,
...not to break your spirits.
So are you resentful about it?
Yes.
I know Father was very strict to you.
However, compared to what you did to Mi-soon,
...your complaint is as bad as mine.
So I'm going to divorce her.
I mean, I already divorced her!
Is that what you can say?
Do you even know how it feels to be betrayed by the spouse?
Your heart breaks and you can't even breathe in anger.
What's worse, you accuse yourself.
Like, ‘Did my shortcomings cause all of this?'
It's like you stab yourself.
You don't know how painful it is.
Hae-ryung, you...
Did Mi-soon say that?
Whether you divorce her or not, it's up to you. But,
...apologize to Mi-soon. Or,
...I won't forgive you.
Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?
Am I as hurt as Mi-soon?
I don't deserve to see a doctor.
Mom, are you okay?
I'm okay. Don't worry and go home.
Your mother-in-law might be worried.
Yes, I'll take care of her. Go home.
Call me right away if anything happens.
What can happen?
Don't worry about us. Take care of your in-laws.
I'm sorry, Mom.
From the past, when Man-ho did wrong,
...you always said sorry.
You don't have to.
Each and every child under the same parents is different.
Living happily is helping me.
Go in. Give her porridge and medicine.
How come there's no peaceful day in our family?
If you and I add trouble...
Why, you too have a problem?
Huh? No.
An old maid living with her parents is a nuisance.
I'll call you.
Yes! It's all your fault!
- Stop there! - Father!
Let's hear him first. Let him talk.
What should I hear more?
I really didn't know. I mean it. Believe me.
Oh. I need to get you restorative herb medicine.
Father.
Why waste beef on this good-for-nothing?
He doesn't even deserve rice.
Who the heck is it?
Half-wit. Why did he just let me beat him?
He could've run away and paid no heed to my cuss.
Too weak-hearted.
You were here?
Are you leaving?
I feel so sorry that I can't see Mom in the face.
Right. If she hears your story, she'll collapse.
Then it'll cost us medical bills.
I'm sorry.
I should live happily but...
You've had it enough. Don't be sorry.
Go.
Where have you been? Did you say sorry to your father?
If you nag at me, I'll leave again.
What a cheeky jerk.
Are you in your puberty? Do you know how much...
Did you have lunch?
Yes.
Give him to me. I'll sleep with him.
Will you?
What's this smell?
Hey, did you roll in a trash bin? What's this smell?
Ask your sister-in-law what this smell is.
- Give him to me. - Okay.
Bring me clothes to change.
How come he's that cheeky?
Leave him alone. At least he came here, not to Se-ri.
Right.
He has arrived.
Welcome. Have a seat, please.
You look pale.
I think you needed to see me urgently for some reason.
Yes.
Please take a look.
Which among these can carry on our family name?
The heart of your son is as hard as stone.
What's the use of the girls?
You are right.
I should separate him from her as soon as possible.
He owed her in their previous life so he cannot move on.
Put this on the head side of his bed.
Will this cut their tie?
Just wait and see.
His heart is full of fire.
It can fire up if you provoke him.
Okay.
You are late.
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
I just checked if I need to change the bed linen.
You?
Yes.
It's natural I take care of my son. I'll let you rest.
Did you know? Man-ho paid off Se-ri's private loan.
The family is in an uproar now.
Why did you call me here? To scare me?
If a former judo player floors a patient with a cast,
...what will people say?
They will accuse me if I floor a patient. But,
...if I floor a home wrecker, they will give me a big hand.
If you break my arm, I will sue you.
What are you doing?
Are you done already?
Keep it up.
Give it to me. It's mine!
How come you have this?
She was to leave it to her daughter-in-law.
What's wrong with taking it in advance?
You're so desperate to be part of Bongs family.
Is it because you love Man-ho?
Yes.
I love him.
At first, I just envied you...
...and I was grateful to him for being nice to me.
But not now.
I really love Man-ho.
You know I tried to leave him.
But it's unfair for me to leave.
Why should I lose everything to you?
Do you even know what "unfair" means?
List of things you should know as his wife you want to be.
Things to do from morning till night as a daughter-in-law,
...dates of anniversaries, birthdays of family members,
...when to hold ancestral rites, when to do a big clean up,
...when and how to manage the farm, etc.
You can get used to them one by one.
This is the most important.
Man-ho's financial status.
Currently zero.
Oh. He's in hock to me for $20,000 to pay your debt.
I didn't ask him to pay it for me.
No need to make an excuse. I'll get him to pay up.
You think I can't do it while you could?
Alright.
Then I will let you live with Man-ho.
Instead, take responsibility to the end.
Or I won't leave you alone.
Sauces for Fried Pork Belly on the market are not bad.
Why take trouble?
Mine has tasted the same for 30 years.
I can't disappoint my customers for my convenience.
Our children have grown up and have their own ways.
Things that haven't changed are your food...
...and the taste of your 30-year long customers.
I can't accept these.
I asked you for fresh flopping ones.
Look at the cloudy eyes.
These are fresh enough.
Do you want to go to the Fish Market now?
If I find fresher ones than these, I'll change suppliers.
Okay, okay. I'll go fish in the sea now.
Don't be late!
Okay!
Hey, Cheol-su!
You're still powerful.
Seem you are in a good mood.
Of course. I feel great today.
Father.
I want to tell you something after the lunch business.
You're not just Man-ho's wife but also a mother of two girls
...and my daughter-in-law in charge of the kitchen here.
Think before you tell me.
But above all, I am human.
Should I even serve you coffee?
Aren't you going to work?
I have a meeting outside. I'll go straight there.
Don't expect your father to give your plastic back to you.
I feel uncomfortable at work.
Ji-gun.
I think Ms. Bong...
I mean, Ms. Hae-won Bong, the sister of Ms. Bong.
Seems she has feelings for me.
Why, did she confess her love?
No.
Then, does she keep smiling at you?
No, but...
...she steals a glance at me at a distance. When I go near,
...she runs away.
I think she really dislikes you.
No. I got a vibe.
That's why she keeps her distance and avoids you.
The sight of you turns her off.
Do you even know about a woman's heart?
I do.
Oh. Hasn't my mom called you since then?
Well, I think you'd better be careful.
You two go out together too openly. My mom got really mad.
There's no reason we can't do that openly.
Whoever I date, it's none of your mother's business.
That I know.
Then remind her.
That I finished with your family 5 years ago.
Okay. It's unlike you to get mad.
I have to get ready for work.
Who is it?
This is a helper that was supposed to come today.
How are you?
I think you got the wrong place.
I came to the right address.
Mr. Hyun-ki Yu sent me.
He told me about your favorite foods for grocery shopping.
I'm sorry but there must've been a mistake.
Please go back.
What?
What brings you here?
Mr. Yu sent me.
Until you get used to driving,
...a chauffeur will come in the morning.
It's a car for your commuting.
Don't turn it down, or I'll keep sending it.
Are you stalking me?
I am protecting you, not stalking you.
I told you not to forget...
...that you're still married to me.
I too told you that I'd stop being your wife.
If you want to show off your wealth, instead of doing this,
...get the right sum for my work in your house for 13 years,
...and pay me proper alimony. Bye.
She stubbornly refused it.
She said she'd appreciate this gift.
I see. You may leave.
[Petition for Divorce]
Hi.
This is the studio.
This is the main picture for this month's issue.
Think this place as your own.
Once a theme is decided, you need to prepare...
...food ingredients, tableware, and table decorations.
Okay.
It'd be good to draw or make notes of plating design ideas.
Right. I'll try.
More than the taste of food,
...the harmony of colors in food photography is...
Too much info at a time?
Let's talk over some tea.
You are so considerate. Thank you.
Your office next to the CEO's?
Is it okay he favors you this openly?
What's your business with Mr. Lee?
He was bored so he feigned illness and bothered me.
I'm sorry about the trouble I caused you last time.
Then don't come to me drunk again.
Or you'll be the talk of the neighborhood.
Yes, hi.
I heard about it. Take good care of my wife.
No. She doesn't know.
We'll ask you to dinner sooner or later.
I'll call you.
Would Hae-ryung thank you if she knows you got her the job?
"Hae-ryung?"
She wouldn't be happy. But...
...I don't want my wife to suffer hardship.
I must tell you something.
Please come home.
What are you doing there?
Father.
Why, you have more to say?
No.
Mi-soon, please reconsider.
Think of your kids.
I'm sorry.
They went to the court and took proceedings for divorce.
Father.
I will leave with Jin-hwa and Seon-hwa.
Forgive me.
Were you away from work for the past few days...
...to prepare for divorce?
The terminally ill friend was Se-ri.
Deceiving the family and even knowing Jin-hwa was hurt,
...he planned to take a trip with Se-ri.
So the one he brought food and attended every day was...
Such a wretch!
For your sake...
...and for my kids' sake,
...I tried to put up with it.
However, I cannot live like this for my kids.
Hey, why should you leave? You didn't do anything wrong.
Send him packing. Send him to her.
Why are you quiet?
Call him over and cast him out!
Alright.
Now that you filed divorce papers, what can we do?
Thank you for your commitment so far.
What do you mean?
Didn't you hear her?
I'm not done yet.
But you cannot take Jin-hwa and Seon-hwa with you.
Father.
I don't care whether you split up or not.
You can't take my grandkids with you. Period.
Man-ho already agreed to it.
By law...
Law? What practical aids could it give to my grandkids?
How will you raise the kids by yourself?
Father.
How could you do this to me?
You said I'm like your daughter.
I can't live without them.
It's you who cut our cable without prior discussion.
If you let her go, I'll leave too.
What has she done for us?
Then leave.
Father! Father!
Father.
I understand you are angry, but this is not right.
Did you decide to divorce without that much sacrifice?
It's not me who had an affair.
Am I to blame for this?
Then what about us?
What did the girls do wrong to have to leave the family?
Never.
No. They are my children.
I will take them with me by all means.
Are you saying you'll even bring them to court?
When you insisted to raise Woo-ri, you said...
...leaving him in the care of...
...the whole family would be better than in a single mom.
Didn't you assure us?
Father.
I return your words to you.
Weigh it well...
...if taking the girls with you will do them good.
Now I see you are an in-law after all.
I deluded myself as your daughter and acted up.
If you were to act like this, you should've favored me less.
Go to law?
Okay. I will do so.
Mi-soon, it's because he is angry.
He was shocked at the news of your divorce. So please...
I'm sorry.
What are you doing now?
You told me to leave.
I am Bae. I'll leave with Hahn.
Live happily by yourselves.
Why even you?
How could you do this to her?
She isn't a mere daughter-in-law.
What have you done until your son became like that?
She said she split up with him, she can't live with him!
Should I abandon the half-wit son for the daughter-in-law?
Mi-soon can make a living for herself even away from us.
But Man-ho cannot.
We're responsible for him. Yet, should we throw him out?
The person you have dialed is not available.
Man-ho doesn't answer the phone again. Gosh.
Sam-bong is not really going to kick out Mi-soon, is he?
Of course not. He cherishes her so much.
I think he has a purpose.
He uses Jin-hwa and Seon-hwa to stop Mi-soon.
Right. He is tenderhearted.
Yeah, he won't let her go.
You sure are Bongs.
Do you really think so?
I don't think so.
To my eyes, he's siding with his son, throwing out Mi-soon.
No way. Not likely!
You're saying that since you don't know Sam-bong.
Yes, I do know him well.
He has a strong attachment to bloodline.
Although he cherished Mi-soon,
...he leans towards his poor son.
I feel sorry for her. God help her.
My pay will be withdrawn by a credit card company shortly,
...but it's the payday. How about a drink after work?
Sounds great!
Yes, let's have a drink.
Count me out. Cut me some slack.
I feel sick and have to go home early.
Oh, come on.
Join us.
You are secretive these days. We need to hold a hearing.
I am very transparent.
Instead, I'll buy you lunch tomorrow.
Really?
Attention! Ms. Bong will buy us lunch tomorrow.
I want meat.
Okay. We'll cut you some slack just today.
Let's go. We'll leave first.
- See you tomorrow! - Bye!
Aren't you calling it a day?
A bit later.
- Okay, bye. - Bye.
What?
My pay.
Why are you asking me for your pay?
Feigning ignorance?
When you smashingly touched me the other day,
...you said you'd give me your paycheck.
Pay me for touching my body.
Hey! Get it straight.
I didn't touch you! I hit you.
Now you admit it.
I want my pay now.
You are really.
Take this and get rich, Mr. Lee.
What now?
Though my plastics were taken away, I'm the HS CEO's son.
You think this is enough to buy a new outfit?
So?
I'll give this back to you.
Do me a favor.
Don't steal a glance at me or carry a torch for me.
Forget about me.
What? Look.
Okay. I know you'll deny it. I'll believe you.
From tomorrow, see me as your boss, not as a man.
Okay?
Take care.
Is that jerk for real?
Unbelievable.
What do you mean we can't be sure of winning the case?
For now, the child custody is in your favor but...
...once we proceed with lawsuit,
...the liability of divorce isn't the only issue.
Your spouse has no assets so you can expect no alimony.
You have no place to live in with your children.
I can get a job as a cook and make money.
I can't leave my kids behind.
I too have kids. Let me give you down-to-earth advice.
Think of your kids first.
Who can take care of them while you work?
To adjust to new surroundings, they need a fosterer.
You don't have parents, do you?
Fighting in court is an exhausting battle even for adults.
It can hurt your kids twice.
Which is the better environment for them,
...which will do them good.
Think about it seriously.
Hello?
This is In-sook Kim, the wife of HS CEO.
How are you?
Hi. What is this regarding?
I want to tell you something in person.
Can I see you for a minute?
Me?
I won't take much of your time.
I will send the car to you.
It's okay. I'll come to where you are.
It is so kind of you to invite us upon your recovery.
Thank you.
You're welcome. I'm honored to see such a famous lady.
I should have arranged this occasion earlier.
I missed your daughter-in-law so I invited her.
You could have told me to bring her with us.
Seems she is nervous.
She is very shy.
Welcome. Have a seat.
Please.
I didn't expect to see your wife.
Glad to meet you.
We will serve you dinner.
No. We're expecting one more person.
Here.
He is like our family so I invited him too. Do you mind?
Mi-soon can make a living for herself even away from us.
But Man-ho cannot.
We're responsible for him. Yet, should we throw him out?
Yes. I am to blame.
I made Man-ho and Mi-soon like that.
Where on earth has she gone?
You'll have nothing to envy in the world if you have a baby.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Yes.
What a lovely couple.
Your daughter-in-law is always calm and modest.
I envy you, Ms. Jang.
I am so flattered.
I mean it.
Everyone in the HS Wives Club speaks well of her,
...attributing Mr. Yu's success to her assistance.
Thank you.
I feel out of place here.
You are so picky. Don't you think so, Hyun-ki?
You are not strangers. You both work for my husband.
We can have dinner together, my son-in-law.
Oh, it grew into a habit.
It's fine these days.
Let's play golf together sometime.
I'm sorry. My wife doesn't play golf.
I'll teach her soon and accompany you.
Good.
Excuse me.
Mr. Lee is present. It will end soon.
Don't show it. Keep your seat.
He was like that at that time.
How could he think of showing up in shorts there?
No way.
He has an exceptional sense of style.
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
One second, please.
I'm going to do something crazy now.
Be angry with me later.
I really can't stand it anymore.
Mr. Lee is present. How much more will you act like a fool?
Weigh it well...
...if taking the girls with you will do them good.
Which will do them good?
Think about it seriously.
Is this your hiding place?
Mom.
My heart feels so bitter that it tastes sweet.
I was going to be back soon.
Mi-soon.
Can you reconsider...
...once and for all?
Can't you forgive him on my account?
Mom.
To me, the family and this Happy Home were everything.
You know how hard I tried to protect them, don't you?
Despite them all, I made that decision.
I think I'm going to die if I hold out more.
I'm sorry.
What am I saying to you?
Sorry.
I wasn't myself for a while.
I said you were my daughter...
...but when it is so hard for you, I asked you to endure.
If Hae-ryung or Hae-won were in your situation,
...I would've let them divorce earlier.
I was greedy.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sweetie.
Like Sam-bong said,
...leave alone.
If you take your kids with you now,
...you'll all suffer hardship.
I know.
I do know but...
...how can I live leaving them behind?
Fight out to the better end.
I will protect your precious Jin-hwa and Seon-hwa...
...and when you settle down,
...I will send them to you by all means.
So trust me...
...and leave.
You've spent your time confined in the kitchen.
Now make up for lost times.
Mom... Mom...
I'm sorry.
This is all...
...I can do for you.
Mom...
My heart is aching
beyond endurance
Because I am a woman,
I couldn't say a word
Keeping immeasurable sadness
to myself
I walk the path of a weary life
gasping for breath
They say I should endure
Mi-soon, fly away.
Mom...
My daughter Mi-soon...
Mom.
Stop luring my son-in-law.
I had vasectomy 5 years ago.
You are my daughter. Don't forget that.
Make a lot of money and come back to take us.
Why me? Because I am pitiful?
Just remember how beautiful and great person you are.
