(Episode 10)
The green tea sprouts were roasted well this year.
It should taste all right.
I felt as though...
I lost my sense of taste because of Yi Chul's problem.
Director Oh will leave over time,
so please do not be anxious.
It is a matter of time.
She cannot hold out forever.
I'm still unsure...
if it's right for me to let go of my daughter-in-law.
I think about it a dozen times a day.
But my son, who's about to turn 60,
threatened to die if I didn't allow him to do this.
I was just afraid he'd end up doing something dangerous.
This is why they say parents are sinners before their children.
You are sure that Yi Chul will have...
another child, right?
Yes.
I can see another child with President Yoon...
other than Ji Chang.
That child is a great figure...
who will become your family's pillar,
root, and leaf.
By any chance, was it the child...
that the young woman had and lost?
I did not see any child...
in President Yoon's future in the Year of the Black Tiger.
What do you mean?
It was not that child.
I cannot see that child's fate.
Are you saying...
I'll kill you!
Darn it!
Babe, no. Missus.
I don't want you as my sugar mama anymore.
- "Missus?" - I got fed up with you.
My gosh. "Missus?"
"Missus?"
You got fed up with me?
Did you just say you got fed up with me? My gosh.
The person you have reached is unavailable. Please...
Pick up.
What do you think...
I shall do with her?
You won't pick up?
You won't pick up my call?
Unbelievable.
Let go.
Let go of your worries.
I will...
kill you!
- Pick up right now! - There is no answer to this.
Goodness.
You won't pick up?
(President Yoon Yi Chul)
Why did you want to see me? It's lunch now.
I wanted to eat lunch with you...
and discuss the marketing strategy report for the European market too.
Why do I have to discuss work during lunch?
Hey, I'll pay you for overtime.
Also, we shouldn't approach the European market like this.
I have a previous engagement with very important people.
Anyway, about your girlfriend.
What about her?
She keeps contacting Hye Won and comes to see her.
If she doesn't have other friends and is that bored,
tell her to call me instead.
I'll make sure she never gets bored again.
Hey, Ji Chang!
Which suit is the most popular among younger people?
This one is the best seller now.
I'll let him try it on.
Where did he go?
What are you doing? You need to try this on.
Hye Won, I'll put on a suit...
and stand like this in front of my tteokbokki place.
Look.
I picked out something that'd look nice on you.
- Try it on. - Really? I'll try it on.
Hey, San Deul.
Since when have you looked this cool?
- Ji Chang. - You're here.
I missed you, so I dashed here.
Hey, you don't look so bad in a suit.
But you don't look as good as I do.
Right?
Really?
What do you think?
Gosh, I can't pick a side.
I pick him.
Really?
Take a look. How is it?
(Stella Tteokbokki)
(Grand Opening)
Nice.
(Hyangdan Agency)
(Congratulations on your new store. From your forever fan, Dad.)
You've opened a nice snack bar like this...
and bought a suit too. You're a real business owner now.
Have fun.
- I got your back. - Thanks.
Thank you, Hye Won.
And this. It's my present.
A present? Another one?
I got you skincare products.
If your tteokbokki doesn't taste good,
you need to use your looks to lure customers.
Isn't that so, Mr. Lee?
Gosh, San Deul.
You'll use only your looks to run the business?
No way.
My tteokbokki is delicious.
I see.
So your tteokbokki is good, and the owner is good-looking too?
What if your business becomes such a big hit, my friend?
Then, I can buy my dad a huge house!
That's not something to worry about.
- You're right. - You're right.
That's true.
Right, do you still think of that woman...
that you saw at our wedding?
Don't mention her.
I'm trying not to think about her.
All right. We won't.
I'm a business owner now,
so I plan to do my best at making and selling tteokbokki.
Hey, San Deul. My brother sounds so cool.
Yes, right!
It was since when I was 17.
What was?
When we bought the suit,
Ji Chang asked, "Since when have you looked this cool?"
- And? - In the first year of high school,
kids beat me and bullied me,
so you took me to a gym and taught me how to work out.
You said it'd make my body and my heart healthy.
I did.
You were such a scrawny and skinny kid then.
Yes, I was 180cm tall and weighed 59kg.
I was so scrawny.
You're right. You were like that.
You two made friendship bracelets and said you'd be besties forever.
Gosh, how cheesy.
I mean, friendship bracelets?
- What's so bad about that? - What's so bad about that?
- Hey. - Hey, that's my friend.
- Friends... - Forever.
Gosh, this is so tacky.
I'm serious.
I can see another child with President Yoon...
other than Ji Chang.
That child is a great figure...
who will become your family's pillar,
root, and leaf.
(New Mother's Notebook)
I prepared the paperwork you wanted.
The New Mother's Notebook I kept until the tenth week...
(Medical Diagnosis)
and the diagnosis of miscarriage.
You suffered from this calamity because you schemed...
something that cheeky.
(Recently Added, Next)
(New Post)
(Uploading)
(Boram Mom)
- I really didn't do it on purpose. - Silence!
If you made a scene like that,
you should've done your best to keep your child.
How dare you open up to speak?
I do not have an excuse to make.
I'm sorry.
I cannot do anything to change Yi Chul's mind,
so I will not harm you.
But even if you got pregnant again,
you would not be accepted into the YJ family.
So, do not dare to use his child...
and cause this mayhem...
just as you did last time.
Even if Yi Chul is with you,
there is not a chance...
I will condone you.
He will have one more child?
But she's his only chance of having another child.
I visited Sambo Temple.
Monk Sungrak said...
Ji Chang would have a younger sibling.
Goodness, I'll fold the laundry.
I know you're a widower,
but don't be so miserable. What is this?
- I'm fine. - Forget it. Goodness.
These strawberries are very sweet. Try some.
Okay.
It's sweet.
Anyway, what if that woman, Bae Do Eun,
really becomes Hye Won's mother-in-law?
Tell me about it.
And she was the same age as our Hye Ji.
I want to live with Mom.
I don't want to go with Dad.
Yes, she's two years younger than Hye Won,
so she's the same age as Hye Ji.
Anyway,
I hope she won't try to pose as her mother-in-law.
Even if Director Oh Soo Hyang divorced him,
they'd hide somewhere and live by themselves, right?
Hye Won must be troubled in many ways.
I'm sure.
These honeymoon days should be the happiest days of her life.
Dad!
Hey, did you have fun, San Deul?
Is Hye Won doing well?
Dad, thank you for the orchid you sent me.
Thanks to your orchid,
my tteokbokki place will boom with business!
Yes, let's hope that happens.
What are those?
These? Hye Won and Ji Chang...
gave me presents to celebrate the grand opening.
They gave me these.
On the right, a suit. On the left, skincare products.
You better open another store for more presents.
Do you want to see these?
No, it's okay.
It'll get dusty, so go to your room and open them.
Come on. You're just jealous because these aren't for you.
Oh, my. What are you saying?
Why would I be jealous?
Give me a little more time.
Once I start my business, I may consider...
getting you skincare products.
Why does it feel like he keeps mocking me?
He is, right?
Goodness, hardly. I think he means it.
You must have grown on him...
after going through thick and thin.
If we go through something thicker and thinner,
we may end up in a fistfight.
He may be challenged in other aspects of life,
but he's highly talented when it comes to mocking others.
No, he's a genius in that area.
My goodness. Eat more strawberries.
Gosh. Goodness.
Will you clean up a little? It's as if we live in a pigsty.
That mouth of yours.
Shut up and keep looking...
if you want to pig out on the perks Hye Ji can give us.
What now? "Pig out?"
Hey, you need to stop pigging out on cola.
Some may see this and think polar bears live here.
My gosh! I found it.
This is in English. I think this is it.
What?
What? What does it say?
Goodness. My gosh.
I should have borrowed money...
to search for Hye Ji long ago.
I'm sure housing is also expensive in America.
I wonder if she has one.
Look. "Washington, DC." Can't you read this?
What do you take me for?
Just wait.
Hey, these days,
we can find satellite pictures of what houses look like,
even on the inside.
(1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC, 20500)
Let me see.
No way.
Why? What is it?
Is she rich? How big is it?
It says it's the White House.
"White House?"
My goodness.
Hye Ji still works at a motel even in America?
What do you mean, a motel?
You idiot.
We used to go there more often than home.
Don't you remember?
- Right here. - What?
I don't want to go.
Come on. Let's go there for a quick rest.
Darn it. Their blankets smell like mold.
No way. No.
We don't have to use the blankets.
Really? Okay.
It'll be much cooler.
You always begged me to go to a motel for a rest,
then you ended up resting all the time in life.
I forgot everything and moved on.
Why do you bring up that traumatic experience?
Also, the White House isn't the name of a motel in the US.
It's where the President lives!
This is common knowledge, you ignorant woman.
Oh, my. The White House?
My goodness. Does this mean Hye Ji is a civil servant in the US?
My gosh.
Are you trying to frustrate me to death?
What?
The White House is where the President lives,
so she must be a high-ranking official.
Your daughter wouldn't have made it that big!
She couldn't even go anywhere near its restrooms.
Then why did we get the parcel from the White House?
It means she's lying!
Lying? Why?
She's trying to make us believe she lives in America.
The nutritional supplements were bait,
and we almost took it!
My brain must be getting fat.
She doesn't live in America.
She's nearby.
I got chills.
I love you, my Do Eun.
I love you too, Yi Chul.
It's wonderful to come out and dine with you.
I love it.
I've tried to keep you at home,
although you weren't a sinner.
I was trying to be careful because of the lawsuit.
But people already called you an adulteress and a cheater.
All we have to do now is do things as we like.
From now on, feel free to do whatever you want.
My gosh, I don't want to smear my makeup.
I was so excited that I got my makeup done.
Gosh, you always look pretty.
You're the apple of my eye.
Anyway, how are Ji Chang and Hye Won doing as newlyweds?
I'm sure they must be happy.
Right.
When did you meet Hye Won?
Well, I wasn't in a position to give her a wedding gift,
so I sent her some flowers,
but she told me not to do that.
I must have put her in a spot.
She got mad at me.
I should've thought it through.
I knew that'd be the case. It wasn't a big deal.
Why? Did someone say something?
Ji Chang complained.
What did he say?
It wasn't a big deal. You don't have to mind that.
All we have to do is...
focus on each other.
I understand what you mean.
But a quick visit to the ladies' room first.
You have to make it quick. I'll miss you too much.
(Talk Concert: Learning Western Art History at a Cafe)
That wicked brat. She told him already?
What a joke.
(Talk Concert: Learning Western Art History at a Cafe)
(Speaker: Director Oh Soo Hyang Host: General Manager Lee Hye Won)
She's up to all kinds of nonsense.
That was delicious. We should flex from time to time.
Agreed.
Our paycheck doesn't amount to a lot anyway.
Hey, that's Ms. Lee Hye Won.
- Do you know her? - She came to my college...
for a special lecture, and she looked dazzling.
She's my role model.
That woman, Oh Soo Hyang, is her mother-in-law.
Really?
Do you want to go? It looks fun.
Let's go.
I'll upload this on my social media account.
(Talk Concert: Learning Western Art History at a Cafe)
You get paid a few thousand dollars a month,
waste it at a Michelin-starred restaurant,
and even want to go to an art history lecture?
Well, I guess...
you need something to post on your social media account.
Hey, what did you just say?
No, what are you doing right now?
Haven't you learned to save water?
(Talk Concert: Learning Western Art History at a Cafe)
- What was that? - Has she lost her mind?
(Speaker: Director Oh Soo Hyang Host: General Manager Lee Hye Won)
If you two run wild like this,
I'll end up going crazy...
like a beast.
That man said he was fed up with me.
Who are the kind of women that men fall for?
My Paris.
I miss Paris.
The cognac I had there...
and the men too.
The joy of love
Is only momentary
But the sorrow of love
Is eternal
You abandoned me
For that beautiful Sylvie
And she will leave you
For a new lover
The joy of love is only momentary
Mom! I'm home!
Mom?
Mom!
- Mom! - Goodness.
How did you end up so drunk again?
You're awful.
It's all your fault.
My fault?
You always put Yi Chul before me, saying he's the best.
Have you ever taken my side since my childhood until now?
No. You were never fair.
That's why I keep going around dating one man and the other.
It was to beg them for the love you never gave me!
Goodness. My gosh.
That's right.
Don't you know the attitude of a parent...
decides the fate of a child?
In that aspect, you're a failure.
You made this failure!
Yes, I made you like this, so I couldn't even abandon you.
I always lived with a racing heart...
whenever you caused trouble.
You had many affairs,
and you got caught by your husband...
a total of three times!
Mom, that was...
In the end, I flew to France...
and begged him for forgiveness.
I was afraid you'd fall into a bottomless pit...
if he gave up on you too.
How much more love do I have to give you?
Mom...
I love you, Mom.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I love you, Mom. Don't leave me.
My Lord. My Buddha.
Mom, you know what?
Love is only harsh on me.
My heart aches so much right here.
I'm so heartbroken.
Mom...
I want to sleep here with you tonight.
I'm going to sleep here with you.
(Speaker: Director Oh Soo Hyang)
(Host: General Manager Lee Hye Won)
The three of us finally get to meet.
Just thinking about it makes me feel exhilarated...
with the adrenaline rush.
Watch me.
I will trample on...
and destroy everything you like, Hye Won.
Just as you did.
I printed out the cue sheet.
Thank you, Dong Yeon.
Are you ready to go, Mother?
Yes.
I haven't lectured in a while, so I feel nervous.
I know you'll charm the audience with your talent.
Have fun.
Thank you, Dong Yeon. We'll be back.
(Talk Concert: Learning Western Art History at a Cafe)
That's all for today's talk concert,
Western Art History at a Cafe.
I hope this lecture will...
help you take a step closer to arts and art history.
Thank you very much for coming.
And please give another big hand to our lecturer,
Director Oh Soo Hyang of Judan Foundation for Arts.
(Talk Concert: Learning Western Art History at a Cafe)
For the next 20 minutes,
we'll take questions from you.
If you have a question, please raise your hand.
Yes, the man in a blue shirt.
We could say European culture is what we call the mainstream culture.
Do you think this stemmed purely from an aesthetic point of view...
or simply because those countries are powerful?
Right.
What do you think?
- Yes, it's not easy to say... - Gosh.
How boring.
I'm sure you'll find a better answer online.
(Talk Concert: Learning Western Art History at a Cafe)
Instead, I'll ask a question you'll all find interesting.
We'll continue to answer the previous question first.
You all know that the famous Pablo Picasso was a womanizer.
Even after he got married,
he continued to see all kinds of other women.
Don't you think he left behind all such masterpieces...
because of his unstoppable desires...
and love,
Director Oh Soo Hyang?
You are interrupting our progress.
- Please answer the first... - People in this world...
speak of this in disdain by using vulgar words...
like adultery and affair.
But in the end, don't you think we could see...
his masterpieces today because he was passionately in love,
General Manager Lee Hye Won?
What do you think you're doing?
I came this far,
so I thought it'd be nice to chat over a meal.
Please. It's on me.
What's your intention?
It was common sense that you weren't welcome here...
if you called yourself human.
I hoped never to run into you,
so I thought Yi Chul showed a bit of courtesy by doing so.
But at other times, I wanted to see you...
and slap you across the face.
But then, there is no point in doing that.
Such thoughts ran through my head over the last year.
So, I cannot say meeting you is neither good nor bad.
However, let me tell you something now that we're here.
Please.
I do not wish to divorce Yi Chul for a simple reason.
Because I cannot condone...
another child from Yi Chul,
in other words, Ji Chang's half-sibling.
You're using your son as a shield?
Watch your words!
But I'm sure you wish to have Yi Chul's son.
Our interests conflict,
so we must remain as enemies.
Not as rivals in love, but as two mothers.
Sure.
If you're dying to keep your pride,
you can keep using your son as an excuse.
Mother, there's no need to put up with her. Let's go.
Honestly, you don't want to let go of your life as the lady of YJ...
and are going crazy because you'll lose your man.
I've had enough.
Let's go, Mother.
If you held him down for the last 30 years,
it was about time to let him go.
It's as if you're using your son as collateral.
Mother.
Let's go.
This is something I can do too.
No, I can do worse.
If you show me your rock bottom,
I'll dig up deeper and go down even lower.
(The Two Sisters)
Lee Hye Won!
If that woman shows up again or reaches out,
just avoid her.
That brat, Hye Won, must've married into a good family.
Lee Hye Won.
How are we going to find her?
I wonder if Director Oh Soo Hyang knows...
the paintings of her beloved artist were...
literally painted while he was high.
