You're sleeping alone. This is your punishment!
Okay.
Let's talk.
What talk? Episode 18
You said you sent this to me as a symbol of forgiveness.
Then what does the one you sent to the other place symbolize?
Everyone knows, except you.
You're the stupidest one.
I am?
The stupidest one? What do I not know?
The list goes on, but mainly, you do not know yourself.
Wash yourself first.
Fine...
We'll have our conversation full of logic and politeness.
I thought we are talking.
Sit down. We can talk while we eat.
Where's mine?
You can cook for yourself.
Just follow the instructions on the bag.
The noodles are quite good!
Ma'am?
I guess she isn't here.
Or you can sit down and hear my talking.
Start.
Here is the card you sent me.
Read it out loud to me.
I've decided to forgive first. You don't have to say you're sorry.
Do you think that makes any sense?
What's wrong with this? You should be grateful for this.
I'm saying I'll forgive your impertinence.
I'll explain this to you as if you're a child.
I never did anything that warrants your forgiveness.
You can't continue a conversation like that!
Then you can continue living without knowing.
Being ignored by me.
Ignored?
Your mother told me...
Every time you're being ridiculous, I should give you a treat as if you're a pet.
If that doesn't work, she told me to ignore you.
My mom taught you something ridiculous like that?
She never taught me directly, but I witnessed it...
When your mother found out about the trip your father went on with his mistress.
That's fabricated. That doesn't make any sense!
Such ludicrous thing couldn't have happened between my parents!
I'm going to ignore you starting right now.
This is unfair. This is not fair.
You're eating while I'm just watching...
The bed is mine!
It's mine...
I refused Hansong...
And now my eldest daughter brings a Hansong man again!
It's destiny.
I agree.
Frankly, there's nothing more scary than that word.
That's right!
"You're my destiny." That's the line.
I wish we'll meet up from time to time.
I'd like to hear more about how Hansong men work.
I'm not a full Hansong man yet.
He might quit soon.
Wouldn't it be interesting to observe how the firm operates?
I'm going to try that.
Just today, I learned a big thing. How Hansong never does something illegal.
How?
It's not very pretty.
I don't want to talk about it. You should ask your father.
Is it some sort of a business secret?
It's coming.
I'll call you. See you again.
Goodbye!
You look great with him.
Thanks.
Have you visited his family?
Not yet. I don't want to rush things.
Leave them. I'll clean up.
Okay, then. Thanks!
I have work tomorrow. Good night!
Shouldn't we be talking about some juicy stuff about the new guy?
She says she has to sleep.
I think she wants to text him in the room.
That's true!
Young people understand each other quite well.
You should sleep too.
Okay.
Go to bed after you finish up!
Okay.
Good night.
Oh, right... You're sleeping on the floor tonight.
The bed is too small.
Sure, no problem.
- Good night. - Bye!
I don't know why I'm so happy.
Now we can be quite proud! With Noo Ri and all...
I have my doubts.
What are you worried about?
Parents are supposed to worry all the time.
Relax. This guy is our lucky charm!
Don't worry too much. I have my goals too.
I'll support you no matter what you do.
I don't think he's on our side unconditionally.
But he seems to have some ideas.
Yes, we shall see.
I hope we can have my sister on our side.
Yes.
But this is awesome!
I'm in the bottom, and you're on the top.
This is a perfect setting for you to initiate something!
I'm planning on it.
You must do it!
Hey, do you want to call home?
You do it.
No, stop.
Father often tries to impress us.
If we call, he might become more of a stuck-up in front of mother.
Instead of repenting.
That's possible.
But I'm so curious!
Who are you calling?
The cook.
This is my house too.
Do you think this room is any different? This is my daughter's room!
The only thing you tell your daughter is "lose some weight!"
What's wrong with that?
You have to pay a fee every time you step on my property!
I'm going to charge everything from the past too!
Can't you see which one will break and which one won't?
Are you resorting to violence?
That's the problem.
There's already a big trouble in their marriage.
But once the junior couple falls for Min Joo Young's words...
Something major will happen.
So you must say something!
What will I tell them?
For now, there's nothing happening in their parent-child relationship.
Little Missus is quite clever.
I'm saying, we don't know when things will go awry!
That's not within our control.
Maybe you should say something to the kids.
I'm in the same boat.
I know Mr. Han has many problems as a father and man...
But the most important thing for me is utilizing his shortcomings to improve my performance.
I say, "Study hard if you don't want your father to go berserk!"
It's good for everyone.
He does have a good point.
Little Missus also needs to pass the exam to be the true power broker.
That's true.
Fortunately, your brain is still functional.
Thank you.
So, you're going to accept Mr. Park?
That's separate. He has a long way to go.
Forget about it.
The surveillance cameras are running. I think there are people in your house.
We're monitoring the videos, and worried that some kind of violent event is about to occur.
Hello, the membership number is 43027.
I left the cameras on because I was worried about their safety while they're alone.
Pardon?
It seems like Mr. Han is beating Big Missus.
What?
Don't you dare hitting me.
My hair! No, my hair!
No!
Let go of me...
You treasure this that much? Is this like your life?
Please let go of it...
Ma'am...
When did you come in?
I'm sorry.
The security company called. I was concerned.
Get this woman off of me!
I'm afraid that's up to the Missus.
Everything will become meaningless again once I let go of this.
Then how about making a verbal agreement first?
Tell her what you want right now!
I'll do whatever you want if you let go of this!
Mr. Han?
- Go with him! - Yes!
Leave him alone!
Are you okay, ma'am?
Would you like something to drink?
- Why don't you take a seat? - Please calm down.
What do you think you're doing?
How rude of you to just barge in here?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
We understand where you're coming from... But we were just...
Loyalty isn't everything.
You're all aware how personal this is.
Did you really have to barge in and see everything?
I'm sorry.
Please leave.
Please let go of it...
Ma'am...
When did you come in?
I'm sorry.
The security company called. I was concerned.
Get this woman off of me!
I'm sorry!
Noo Ri spends a lot of time in the bathroom.
I'll try to hold.
There's a public bathroom near here. Do you want to go?
Should we?
Hey, In Sang! We should just go to the bathhouse.
It's right in front of here.
Sure.
That works.
See you later.
- This is the bag, right? - Yes.
Give me some money for the bathhouse.
- I don't have any. - Don't be like that.
Is it there?
- I'll give it to you. - Never mind!
I have a lot of money!
Is it here?
I respect you, my dear wife.
The sensation from last night is not going away.
You put a stop to the subordinates' being rowdy...
And established a clear hierarchy once again!
Your majesty truly shined through!
However...
It would've been better if you were more clear on some things.
For example, you could tell them your grabbing my hair was an act of affection.
Stop talking nonsense.
I established the hierarchy for me.
What?
Please do try to feel some shame.
You can't lose yourself to those things.
You won't be able to move forward!
Hello, good morning.
Yes...
Nothing happened here.
The night was a bit long, but I've survived.
Why is she going that way?
Yes... Of course.
Look at me...
Jin Young's room is my first stop even though he isn't here.
Yes, mother. I'll start a video chat.
Okay.
Video chatting with your grandmother!
Look at your grandmother!
Hello, grandmother! This is Jin Young!
Say good morning!
Good morning, Jin Young.
I see...
Did you play a lot there?
You sang to your grandmother? And pleased her with your cuteness?
How cute!
Jin Young... Grandmother!
- Good morning. - Something happened?
I miss you. Come back soon!
How have you been, ma'am?
We spent an amazing night with Jin Young thanks to you.
Jin Young slept very well.
I wish you could send them here from time to time.
You look like a girl next door. You look more comfortable.
The opposite of how scary you look when you talk about serious things!
I'm still Seo Bom.
Don't worry about what I said. I said it because I was too nervous.
We'll talk on the phone soon. Tell In Sang I said goodbye.
- Okay. - Bye, Jin Young!
You've raised Jin Young so well!
Hey, Jin Young!
I bet you can't just lie around like that in your house.
You're right. No one behaves like this.
Do you want to sleep more?
It'll be more than an hour for In Sang and your father to come back.
I think I'm being too relaxed. I'm so sleepy!
Your life there isn't necessarily comfortable, is it?
Whatever.
Sleep. Your mother is sleeping, Jin Young!
Good night, mother!
Shouldn't Bom have breakfast? Why is she sleeping again?
- Did you sleep late last night? - Yes. we were talking.
That's what her mother is for. She can just sleep and eat when she's here!
Things she can't do in front of her mother-in-law.
There are so many things she can't do in our house.
I once got scolded for shaking my rice bowl!
Why would shake your bowl?
I was just joking around. But my parents were so serious about it.
Every household has a different vibe.
My family is indeed weird.
What do you like to eat? I'd like to make it for you.
I like everything you make!
- Why is he not coming, by the way? - I don't know.
- Uncle? - Yes.
He had drinks with us last night...
- What? - He did?
With Bom? The three of you?
That guy...
If that's the case, he should have come with you guys!
That way he could've met Noo Ri's boyfriend too.
That's right.
- I made a mistake. - What?
The fact that we met up with Uncle last night...
You told them everything?
No, I didn't elaborate. Just so you know.
I didn't mention Joo Young either.
That's good.
Indeed.
- Go ahead. - Okay, see you later.
Rumors often start from the person who is in it.
Are you saying that I'm the one who started it?
I hope you take this as a lesson.
I'll cancel Mrs. Jang's flight ticket.
Don't cancel it. Just hold.
I'll cancel.
Okay.
Is he okay today?
Yes, go do your thing.
Please cancel the ticket.
Is he repenting?
I have no idea.
The problem is that the industry standard is too low.
And the improved version of the regulation won't pass in the parliament.
We must find the compromise point.
The company will save 100 billion won for every level of lowered standard.
Ms. Yoo Shin Young...
Mr. Yoon here is lost somewhere between the ideal world and the reality.
Please teach him how to make the second-best decision.
I'm questioning the legislative process of this.
Just learn first.
Law firms lead the process of turning legal counseling into legislative lobbying.
It's full of poison pill clauses.
Hansong is the best in the business.
We call it the Legislative Business.
Hello.
How may I help you?
Please get all the records of Hansong's past counseling on legislations.
And how many of them passed in the parliament.
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Yoo speaks very highly of you.
Thank you.
I'm a minority here too.
I'm bringing you in so we can help each other when we're in need.
My loyalty is yours, as long as you don't betray me.
- Please give me specific instructions. - Sure.
Here.
The Committee on Environment and Labor has initiated a total of 325 legislations so far.
I'll bring them to you.
Thank you.
She's talented.
She'll be very helpful to you once you become familiar with her.
Just be careful of one thing.
She's the hidden core of the Daesan labor union.
Frankly, I'm interested in that case.
Really?
So your working here is just to prepare for that?
I guess you can say that.
If your parents and girlfriend find out, they'll be disappointed.
So I must do well.
The government has imposed a level two travel restriction on that country...
"Overseas news." You don't like it, do you?
You don't have to ask me that.
I'm still doing my best because this is my path to my ultimate goal.
How is it going with the Hansong Man?
He came to meet my parents.
Everything is going well, but I'm worried about one thing.
What?
Thank you.
What is it?
I like him for being worldly and cool.
But I think he has some ideas floating around.
Something along the lines of public interest and human rights...
Don't be too concerned. It's probably just a phase.
It'd be very difficult to give up on the company that pays the most in the industry!
What should I do if he suddenly quits and asks me, "Is this country okay to you?"
Isn't that romantic in its own way?
"The guy who was the top of his class is now working for the underprivileged."
"And his wife is the beautiful news anchor, Seo Noo Ri."
That sounds pretty awesome to me.
I'm more concerned about turning Hansong into the enemy.
Nonsense. They're just playing their part.
They might even be pleased to show the world that they're fair and just!
You think so?
Please standby, Ms. Seo.
Okay.
After all, you're an in-law of Hansong.
The power of your sister!
That's...
Let's talk later.
Try to relax.
Okay.
Hello. I'll be back.
Okay.
Was it fun, Jin Young?
I'm home.
You should've come back earlier.
I didn't know the nanny would pick us up. I was busy talking to my mom.
Of course. Did you miss me?
You have to tell her you missed her!
That's right.
I'd be sad if he tells me he had too much of an amazing time there.
But it's strange. He looks like he's smiling at a stranger.
I'm sure that's not the case.
Jin Young...
Here...
Let's play later, okay?
Let's wrap you and put you on my back.
Wrap him? Doesn't that bend his legs?
It's fine. I stretch his legs every day.
In the old days, curved legs were common because of malnutrition.
It really feels close. You should try it later.
I'm scared if I might drop him.
I'll be back.
Say goodbye to your grandmother!
Okay!
Your support made me feel better.
Then she finished it all off in a very cold manner.
She said we didn't do the right thing.
I think that's troublesome.
The household with pets can't leave the cameras on when people are away.
It was good that the cameras were on.
Imagine if they were left to their own devices! The security guards would've been called.
So, have they made up yet?
Something like half-punishment and half-makeup.
It must be tiring for you.
Thanks for the tea.
I'm going to study, Jin Young.
- Thank you. - Sure.
I think we were speaking too much.
She probably understands.
Do you think mother will be on our side?
Not sure...
Even though we're on her side?
She may be grateful and proud of you, but that might be it.
She won't be able to accept any challenge to her authority.
That's not what we're doing...
That's what you think.
We all met yesterday and decided to get all the documents.
So you're going to do it?
That's why I need more people on my side.
As my father-in-law he is cute, but Han Jeong Ho as the head of Hansong is fearsome.
Find, just look at it.
I will, so don't retract your words.
What is it this time?
I'm sick of fighting with you.
I'm sure this man knows how scary kids can be.
What are you going to do?
Check.
Oh my...
What is this now? I just quit.
I'll show you what it means to quit something.
Hey!
How did you manage to call?
We need to meet up. You can't do this anymore.
The most scary person to me right now is Jang Hyeon Soo.
Okay, let's meet up and talk. There's no reason for us to be like this.
Should I come to your place?
No, whatever works for you.
They didn't fight?
I think my mom was being wise.
That's good to hear. I was scared after telling you!
But do you think our fathers truly repent for their woman problems?
If they don't, they're not human beings.
But they don't. I don't either.
It doesn't affect my life that much.
You're crazy. That's not how you're supposed to live.
Your wife is an alien, so it must be different for you.
I heard in her country, men truly repent for their affairs in front of their women.
Are you making fun of me?
Women on this planet tend to forgive their men.
Including my mom and most of the girls I've met so far.
- How many points? - 20?
- Here. - You can go first.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
Start!
- Are you okay? - Just go!
I'm going!
Han In Sang!
Give us a minute, Min Jae.
What is it?
It's about your father.
I'm going, then.
I was going to let it slide... But your father is a headache on all sides!
That matter will be resolved among our parents.
My father won't be like that anymore...
Won't be like that anymore?
Please seduce me, Young Ra. I want to forget everything.
That's from my father...
This was two hours ago.
And he still dared to send this even though I went all berserk on him yesterday!
- Is he a real human being? - Wait, Hyeon Soo...
Never mind. I don't care what your father is like.
But once my parents start their divorce proceedings...
All this will affect my mother negatively.
Your parents are getting a divorce?
My father is just waiting until he can have an advantage over my mother!
If he does this again, I'll make this public!
Public?
You met Hyeon Soo, didn't you?
What? Have you already...
Yes.
What can we do now?
You're home!
Yes.
Mom...
What's wrong?
Just because.
Is it really just because?
You too? What's wrong with you today?
Just because...
In Sang...
Hello, husband.
- Are the documents here? - Not yet.
Hey.
Did something happen?
No.
Then what is it?
I might go home right away, but be on standby.
Yes, sir.
Going home?
Standby.
Who is it?
The lady.
Huh?
Darn...
I must repay you for the gift.
Like this.
It looks good.
Don't even try. I'm here as your client.
It may be that from the outside, but we're having a very personal meeting.
I'm very serious.
I'm most scared of Hyeon Soo.
I'm always afraid that I've raised her in the wrong way.
I always feel it's too late.
I don't think there's no way to make up to her.
Everyone feels the same. They're only trying their best.
That's why I want you to stop. She's harassing me.
Talk it out with her.
Not as mother and daughter...
But as two souls who are navigating the rough waters of life.
Is that what you do?
Yes, it is.
I'm envious.
- Mr. Han? - Yes?
Hello.
It has been a long time, ma'am.
Your fashion style is always consistent. Always great.
Of course.
Thank you, but there's something that needs your review right now.
Please, sir.
What is it?
I hope you'll go home as early as possible. This is creating thousands of rumors right now.
How should I proceed?
I need you to hear my story, no matter how you're busy.
I'll take care of it.
Yes, sir.
Welcome home.
Hey. Where's In Sang?
He's in the shower.
Tell him this.
I need to see him at least twice a day.
Yes, father.
Welcome home.
My wife!
You must be tired.
I think mom forgave dad too easily.
Because she's afraid that we'll lose our respect for father.
That won't work.
Are you okay?
Yes...
I heard boys become men at the moment when they hate their father.
I think you've gotten very old all of a sudden.
It's probably because I feel played.
I've tried my best to not hate him since I was 12.
So I guess you had many moments like that.
You can't even imagine.
As you know, my father is all about having less.
It's hard to hate a man like that.
The toughest one for me was...
Hating myself as much as I hated my father.
My friends didn't have any qualms about wasting their fathers' money...
But I couldn't do anything.
That's a good thing.
Darn...
I'm feeling so crappy!
I'm worried that if you receive the documents in this state...
You might get furious and do things you might regret.
You have to stop me, I guess.
Does In Sang have a problem with me?
Do you consider yourself perfect?
Not at all.
I'm just advancing forward with my eyes fixated on something perfect.
I'll have to write that down.
Where's my medicine?
There.
You always hand it to me.
Not anymore.
Why?
You really are persistent.
Why are you such a hypocrite? You're confusing me!
The Big Missus sure can act!
She acts like she respects him in front of everyone!
She'll need to pay the price if she wants this marriage to last!
That's what Mr. Han wants too. I don't know what they're really thinking, though.
I guess the lesson from this is that...
A woman must be an adroit fox to live with a man like Mr. Han!
She's the model wife! The textbook of stay-home wife!
You just have to be as rich as Mr. Han to get such a woman.
What she is doing by being a fox is still immensely exhausting.
Is that so?
But it's Han Jeong Ho!
Go ask anyone on the streets.
Everyone in this country looks up to Hansong no matter what it does.
All men look up to Han Jeong Ho. All women look up to his wife.
Do you think they consider that to be exhausting?
I'm going to go before I start cursing at you people.
Why are you saying such a belligerent thing?
See you tomorrow.
Go drink some soju to relieve yourself!
That's what I'm going to do.
There are no good men anymore!
You've said something very wrong.
Idiot. I was thinking it was going well between you two.
Indeed.
But it's not like he said something wrong!
Mrs. Jang is not any better.
Did she really think that his secretary of 30 years would really interrupt their meeting...
regardless of how urgent the matter was?
I was trying to send her a message. "You should know better."
If I were her, I would've left right away!
I'm sure she's tired and lonely too.
She's used to getting any man she wanted and playing them to her pleasure.
But now she has to stand in front of a mirror and face herself.
How dumb of her!
Why did she think all these men wanted to be her slave?
They were all expecting something from her!
And that includes Mr. Han too!
This is so frustrating!
The Big Missus is very frustrating too.
She needs to control her husband while protecting his reputation.
How is that even possible?
She needs to kill his reputation to have a total control!
And all these men are calling her the "ideal wife."
That's even more ridiculous.
That's what I'm saying. Utterly disgusting.
- Did you order something? - No.
Who is it?
It's me.
What are you doing right now?
You don't have to open the door.
Tell him to come in. I'll sneak out.
I need to whip him.
Tell me why you're here.
You were right.
I've realized that I always wanted to be someone who has more rather than someone who's good.
In other words, I always wanted to be Han Jeong Ho.
I'm ashamed of myself.
From now on, I'll try my best to be a good man.
Thanks for listening.
Goodbye.
What in the world is wrong with him?
I wonder if he's finally getting better.
You should never trust those men who never act.
You're right. I can't fall for this!
One slap probably isn't enough.
Do not forget how he lost an entire apartment.
Wake up!
In Sang!
Ms. Min sent us an email! Wake up!
Browse them in numerical order.
[The Supreme Court rules layoffs that violated hiring stabilization contracts are illegal]
I sent the documents in the end.
I think this might be an opportunity for these kids to mature a bit faster than their peers.
At least that's what I keep telling myself.
- What are you doing? - I'm coming up.
Hey, I heard you brought home your boyfriend.
I did.
They're just being cautious.
You're young! No need to be cautious!
You won't get anywhere at that rate!
Bring him sometime soon. I'd like to drink with him.
Okay.
- I'm going. - Goodbye!
Hey! You want to go now?
Yes.
We still don't know a lot of things. We must review them thoroughly, then do it together.
Just wait here.
Before we do that, I need to talk to my father.
It's my problem and his.
Darn it...
Sir, it's urgent. I think In Sang is going to do something stupid.
We're not ready yet...
What is it?
I'd like to get your legal opinion.
Is it something Mr. Park doesn't know?
This was a case of Hansong.
This is an old case.
But it's not over yet.
The Supreme Court already ruled on this.
Father.
We have something we can't figure out. We'd like to ask you...
But we're not ready yet.
We can ask him this now.
There was an accident while Hansong was representing the company.
There were many people who got injured.
But if they got fired after the accident, that means they got injured on the job.
I'm just wondering why the date of the layoffs was changed to come before the accident.
What are you doing right now?
I'm asking a question. It's nothing special.
You're aware of this.
Your memory is excellent.
What does this have to do with your studies?
We got curious while memorizing precedents.
And Hansong represented the company.
You've never met those workers who became handicapped because of the accident, have you?
Hey...
I guess you're not familiar with them because you never represented labor unions in the past...
But I hope you'll meet them one day... And put a pause on making money.
I don't know what's going on, but I don't like your attitude, In Sang.
Come with me. Both of you.
Go ahead.
Your mom's calling you.
I refuse to answer any claims that are made on an emotional basis.
Secretary Kim.
Yes, sir.
Tell Mr. Park I want to see him today.
Yes, sir.
I can't forgive you for disrespecting your father.
That was understandable.
I want to say bad things to him every time he tells me to lose weight.
Be quiet.
We're not being disrespectful...
We are.
We must be.
Darling!
I couldn't believe it.
I was doubting my ears.
Do you remember what I asked from you in the beginning?
I told you to instill the sense of unquestionable obedience in them.
But now, the kids are wasting their energy on something useless with their illusions!
If anyone who knows me sees me right now...
He'll say I'm letting out all the rage I've bottled for my entire life!
This just shows how disappointed I am.
May I give you an answer, sir?
You must say something. Whether it's an explanation or an excuse.
I'm putting my job on the line as I tell you this.
In Sang and Bom's generation will have to build their own lives.
You took over Korea's legal market with your father's network and a very Korean know-how.
But those will become obsolete soon.
If you wish your young son to crawl into the tattered network of old lawyers that you have...
I'd like to submit my resignation right now.
I feel bad for my students for whom I have great affection...
But I guess there's no other way. They're not my children after all.
I told you I was putting my job on the line.
You're an idiot. You turned mother into our enemy.
How could she be? Could she actually like father?
I don't know that. But now she can't be on our side.
She really likes living as my father's wife?
That's why my father doesn't know his place!
