Why did you come all the way here?
We could've met halfway.
Rather than both of us being inconvenienced,
one should have it easier.
I knew it. You're the man for me.
The other day, you said...
you had feelings for me.
So I was thinking...
I see.
I'm afraid it isn't the case for me.
Sorry?
Why are you startled?
Did I do something wrong?
I guess not.
But you said you didn't dislike me.
That doesn't mean I have feelings for you.
All right.
The heart wants what the heart wants, I guess.
It's just odd though.
Why don't you like me?
I don't dislike you.
Right, you don't dislike me.
Anyway,
this probably wasn't easy for you to say face to face,
so I'm grateful.
Still,
I'm intrigued.
What on earth?
So?
You see,
I'd like to get to know you better.
But I can't ask you to go out with me...
since I'm at an age where that should lead to marriage.
So if I asked you out just because I'm intrigued...
and things don't end well between us,
it'll only upset us.
Then I'd feel guilty.
That's how I feel about us right now,
so what should I do?
Why are you asking me?
Who else can I ask?
Right. You should be asking me.
All right, then.
Let's summarize.
You don't want to go out yet,
but you'd like for us...
to casually get to know each other better.
That's right.
Then,
we'll be casually dating for now.
- What? - The phase...
prior to a serious relationship.
No responsibilities, no rights, just emotionally involved.
I'm in.
You're in? Are you kidding me?
I'll get going, then.
Call me whenever you want. I will too.
Sure.
(It's Beautiful Now)
(Episode 12)
- Hey, Mom. - I'll be heading...
to your place in the evening. When do you get home?
I have dinner plans...
and will be coming home late. Come by some other day.
But I need to talk to you today.
I'll visit you at the office.
Ten minutes will do.
Really?
But you've never been to the office before.
Can you make it here?
I'm not an idiot, you know.
Text me the address. I'll be there.
Right.
- Unbelievable. - Why are you back?
I forgot my phone.
Anyway, are you off somewhere?
Yes, to see Hyun Jae.
Why do you need his address though?
Don't you know where it is?
He has dinner plans,
so I'll be visiting him at his office.
You've been to his law firm, haven't you?
Of course.
What is so important...
that you have to bother him at his office?
- Is something up? - We'll talk about it later.
You should hurry on out.
Have a good day.
You too.
(Soo Jae's mother)
Yu Na, is this a good time to talk?
I ask because it's early.
(Soo Jae's mother)
It's Yu Na.
Yu Na?
Yes, Mother.
I would've called had you texted me back.
It doesn't matter who makes the call.
Did you want to talk to me about something?
Are you sure you like Soo Jae?
Yes.
How serious are you?
Are you willing to tolerate some loss for him?
I mean, a slight loss.
Yes.
All right then.
What do you mean?
I'll give you guys my support. You should hurry up and get married.
You came early.
Yes.
Ms. Na Yu Na.
- Yes? - Am I invisible or what?
You don't even look at me when I say hello to you.
I'm sorry, sir.
That's one of the basic rules. It won't happen again.
But you are not a customer.
That's why I made such a mistake.
So are you saying I'm less important than a customer?
Fine. You may go now.
I'll see you around, sir.
And she's actually leaving.
Aren't I attractive at all?
I should ask Soo Chan to set me up with someone.
(Business Partner)
Does she miss me this early in the morning?
Hello, Yu Na.
I just talked to your mother on the phone.
She said she'd support us, so we should hurry up and get married.
That's amazing. I told you she'd have our back.
But I'm not glad to hear that.
Lying isn't so easy.
You know it's not easy to make money.
Yu Na, don't forget your original intentions.
I'll go to the gym after work and check things out.
I need to figure out what to do after I take it over.
I want to go see the gym.
By the way, what do we have to do to get married?
Let's meet up and talk about it later.
We're about 70-percent complete.
Mom.
I love you!
What's with you? I almost fell over.
Mom, I always believed in you. You said you'd support us.
I'm not doing this for you. It's because of Yu Na.
Fine. I get it. Whatever.
- Where are you going, by the way? - To see Hyun Jae.
How do I look? Do I look like a lawyer's mom?
Mom.
I'm heading out now.
Okay.
What are you doing?
My skin is losing its elasticity with age.
I used to have such great skin.
You haven't changed at all.
I'm the only one who's aging.
Why would you say that?
You know I've been dumped lately.
Are you sure you got dumped?
Why do you look so happy when you just got dumped?
He says he's not into me,
but my feelings for him won't go away.
Isn't that amazing?
It is amazing indeed. Am I supposed to laugh here?
I'm not alone in this. Ms. Sim is going through the same thing.
Good for you that you have a companion.
At least I'm not lonely.
You're a winner when it comes to love,
so you will never understand us.
Mi Rae, did you leave already?
Grandma, I'm in here.
See you.
Grandma, what is it?
I don't have anything to wear.
I met new people at the yoga class, but I have nothing to wear.
Is there someone you fancy, Grandma?
What are you talking about? That sounds absurd.
That's not absurd at all.
You should date too, you know. They say that life begins at 80.
Isn't that 60?
No. It's 80 now.
A 60-year-old is like a newborn baby.
It is indeed a young age.
There was nothing holding me back when I was 60.
Two blouses, three T-shirts,
- and one cardigan would do? - Yes.
You should get a new purse too. Something light.
Okay.
Grandma.
I'm not doing this for free.
You know I never ask for free stuff.
Hey, I love your cardigan.
I want this.
Okay.
Grandma Mi Young and Mom got the same one.
If you buy one too, the four of us will wear the same thing.
I won't wear it then. Get me something else.
Hey, you bought it for your other grandma, right?
Don't expect me to pay for it.
Grandma.
What's wrong?
Grandma is upset, but I should go out now.
You should go make her feel better.
What is she upset about?
I guess they really hit it off.
- Mother. - Yes?
I heard you asked Mi Rae to buy you some clothes.
I'll pay for them.
You must've met lots of new people at your yoga class.
I should've considered it earlier.
There's no need.
I don't want to force you to get me something, but I guess...
it would be better than getting nothing.
Sure.
How is your mother doing?
She's doing fine.
You don't care equally about your mom and me, do you?
You know I care more about you, Mother.
Because we're living together.
That's why I feel bad for my mom.
I'm her only child,
but I can't take care of her.
What are we having for lunch?
What do you want to eat?
You should take your medicine too.
Your hands are warmer now.
Mom...
(Mom)
Hey, Mom.
Did you get yourself some medicine?
I can take care of myself.
Do you have the number of your old oriental clinic?
I don't think I have it.
You got better when you took medicine from that doctor.
Okay. I'll get the medicine.
I wish I could get it for you.
But there's nothing I can do for you anymore.
Hey, but you should tell me if you need anything.
I'll get you what you need, no matter what.
What I need...
is for you to stay healthy.
- Don't skip your meals. - Okay.
I don't want to fall sick and cause you trouble.
I'll try my best to stay fit.
Okay.
- Hello, Ms. Jung. - Hello.
We'll put you on a liquid diet for lunch today.
It should be easier to digest.
Okay.
Oh, wait.
Look. My daughter bought this for me.
- Isn't this pretty? - It looks lovely.
What's with Soo Jung?
If she's back from school, she should wash up and study.
Where is she going?
Still, I'm intrigued.
I shouldn't think about it.
Stop thinking about the dolt.
The doors are opening.
Don't think about the dolt.
The doors are opening.
That doesn't mean I have feelings for you.
Why doesn't he like me?
My gosh, I'm sorry.
- Did I startle you? - Please stop.
Please don't be scared of me.
I've been really stressed out.
I'm really sorry.
You look so familiar.
I was...
on TV before.
Is that it? Did I see you on TV, then?
But just now... You really scared me.
I'm so sorry.
It's fine.
But...
The doors are opening.
Please...
That was so embarrassing. I'm such an idiot.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Where is Haejun Law Firm?
Are you visiting the law firm?
It's right over there.
Thank you.
Where are you going?
I'm headed to the law firm too.
Darn it.
She must be getting divorced.
That's why she's losing her mind.
It'll be so humiliating if she finds out I'm in charge.
Excuse me.
I'm not an employee.
I'm just visiting.
The poor woman.
I don't know what her story is, but she lost her marbles.
(Law Firm Haejun)
- Ms. Sim, you're... - Yes!
What was that about? Diarrhea?
Auntie! What brings you here?
Hi, Sung Soo.
I heard Hyun Jae's extremely busy.
I had something to say and asked him to spare ten minutes.
What perfect timing.
He has about 30 minutes until his next consult.
He has to go to court in the afternoon too.
That's great.
What a lovely office.
Isn't it?
Hyun Jae's office is even nicer.
Come with me.
"Auntie"?
If she's Sung Soo's auntie, what is she to Hyun Jae?
She's...
Why is it so complicated?
As long as she's not his mom.
Right?
Darn it.
Mom. Sit down already.
Okay.
Hey.
I love your office.
Excuse me.
Sung Soo. It's even nicer seeing you here.
I'm so pleased to see you too.
Have some tea.
Thank you.
Serve yourself.
I'll let you chat, then.
What do you have to say?
I haven't even tasted the tea yet.
Okay, go ahead.
Before you got here,
I thought for a while about why...
you suddenly wanted to see me.
The marriage project. You don't have to mind that now.
You can marry whenever you want.
Or don't marry if you don't want to.
It's okay to stay single.
There's something else.
Soo Jae's in on it, isn't he? My hunch says so.
No one's in on anything. You're both so weird.
Yoon Jae grumbled when I told him to get married,
but when I told him to do as he wanted, he got upset.
Why is that?
Can you two be consistent?
Listen.
You came up with this project to marry off Yoon Jae and me.
What ulterior motive do you have to try to get us to give up...
by pretending to respect our decisions?
Then do whatever you want.
I've given up on you both.
You never do as you're told.
Look at Soo Jae. He does exactly what I say.
You do exactly what he says.
He says sons get their smarts from their moms...
and blames you for his poor grades.
You let him talk like that.
When did I let him?
Soo Jae wasn't that bad in school.
He was an average kid.
I heard that you did terribly in school yourself.
Fine.
Soo Jae is a lot like me,
so I pity him.
Okay?
You're leaving already?
I said what I came to say.
Talking to you will make my head explode.
Come on, Mom.
Come by at lunchtime next time so I can treat you.
Shouldn't I meet your senior friend?
I mean, since I'm here anyway.
To thank her for taking you in.
No, don't do that.
I'm no kid. It's fine.
Okay, then. Do as you wish.
Hang on...
Come in.
Ms. Sim.
My mother wished to say hi.
Hello, I'm Hyun Jae's mother.
My gosh.
The elevator...
Yes, hello.
So...
We met a while ago.
Oh, did you two meet in the elevator?
- Yes. - Goodness.
Please sit down.
Gosh, no, thank you.
Why, Mom? I have work.
You two should chat since you're here anyway.
No, I have lots to do at home.
Ma'am, you're not trying to avoid me, are you?
Oh, I'm not.
We just met today. Let's chat some other time.
Okay, then.
Can we just go?
Okay.
We'll leave, then.
- Ma'am. - Gosh.
Goodbye.
Why did I have to scream?
Why did I do it?
No wonder. I thought I'd seen her somewhere.
It was that legal advice show.
Did something happen in the elevator?
I think people in the legal field are not ordinary people.
You sure aren't, and neither is your boss.
That doesn't sound like a compliment.
It's definitely not.
We have one lawyer in the family, and that's enough.
Don't you go and marry one.
Similar people tend to clash often.
She's weird, isn't she? I think so too.
You're weird yourself.
Go back inside. I can manage from here.
- Bye, then. - Bye.
Hyun Jae. A word?
What did she say?
Nothing.
It shows when you lie.
Don't lie. It doesn't show when I lie.
Tell me the truth.
What exactly happened in the elevator?
I got emotionally overwhelmed.
You know what I'm like sometimes.
Why would you get overwhelmed in an elevator?
- My mom... - Your mom what?
You're acting weird.
I am not!
Let's say my mom's first impression of you wasn't that great.
But is that so important?
You mean...
I left a bad first impression.
I knew it.
Get out.
What I'm trying to say is that...
you're different from what you're usually like.
Regardless of your intentions,
you tend to offend people.
And only to me!
Get out.
What's up with you?
- "Only to me!" - Darn you.
Oh, darn it.
It's better to have a bad first impression...
since it can't get any worse.
My gosh.
I failed to persuade Hyun Jae,
and Yoon Jae didn't fall for my trick.
Who else do I need to persuade?
- Hello, sir. - Hi, boys.
- Hey, honey. - Are you busy?
I was off to the principal's office.
Buy me dinner.
- Come by with Father, then. - Just me.
What will he have for dinner, then?
Man Ri.
Hi, Kyung Ae.
What do you have there?
We're having rice with bean sprouts for lunch.
I see you were out today.
I went to see Hyun Jae and saw Sung Soo while I was there.
We're always grateful, you know.
I feel at ease knowing that he works under Hyun Jae.
Please let me know if I can do anything for you.
The same goes with Hye Young.
As if she'd ever do what I ask.
You know how much she looks up to you.
She was worried about how her words might have hurt you.
I'm glad she knows she was wrong.
It's easier for me to ask since you put it like that.
What is this about?
Can you stop flapping about? You're making me dizzy.
Mother, please!
You pay to take yoga classes,
but you're complaining about your daughter-in-law...
who can only afford a free workout program.
I wasn't complaining, you know.
What is with you and your harsh choice of words?
Honey, what took you so long?
You said you were off to buy groceries.
I met Kyung Ae on my way in. She mentioned you.
What? Did she talk smack about me?
As if she'd ever do such a thing.
She asked if you could cook dinner for Kyung Chul today.
My gosh. Why did she ask me through you though? How weird.
As if that's weird at all.
I'll do it.
I can easily fix dinner for my brother, you know.
Mother, I'll do it. She asked me, you know.
Besides, I've been figuring out a way...
to start a conversation with Kyung Ae.
Hello?
Do you have an estimate for the clothes and purse I requested?
Yes, but you haven't been in touch since,
so I was wondering what to do with it.
You should've called me once you had the estimate.
That's how you do business.
Do I make you uncomfortable?
Of course not.
I must be in court today, so I can't make it to your office.
I'll send you the bill for the estimate first...
and move forward once you give me the green light.
It's finally the last day of this strenuous trial.
I bet you feel alleviated.
The closing arguments stress me out the most.
There's no coming back from a loss today.
You know,
you sure are money-crazy.
I thought custody of the children was all you wanted.
You still hear what you want to hear and interpret it however you want.
Don't be at ease just because the trial's going your way.
You know me. I'm one to enjoy the thrill.
An overturn in the final round.
Look forward to it.
(Presiding Judge)
Defendant,
do you agree that the plaintiff...
managed all of the housework and parenting duties?
Just being with the children...
hardly qualifies as parenting duties.
He is right, Your Honor.
The attitude and behavior she showed while with them...
carry more weight.
What about her behavior?
Your Honor, please make them refrain from accusing my client...
with groundless claims.
They have more to say, so let's hear them out.
Any grudges she had against my client...
were taken out on the children...
resulting in emotional abuse.
Where's your proof?
If that were true,
why would the children wish to live with their mother?
The defendant was absent from the house often.
You claim that being with the children isn't enough,
but you failed even in that department.
We submitted proof that he was regularly absent.
He had to provide for the family.
Earning money is hardly a stroll in the park.
All right. Who did all of that money go to?
He never brought any home...
which forced the plaintiff to receive money from her parents.
We submitted evidence of that as well.
(Defense Attorney, Defendant)
The defendant and the plaintiff were married for nearly ten years...
and my client clearly contributed...
in the form of housework and parenting.
She is also willing to take full custody of their children.
Out of the 25.4 million dollars...
minus a debt of five million dollars,
I hereby request that my client receives...
exactly 30 percent of the net worth which is 6.12 million dollars.
Just to be clear,
the money wired to his mistress was also included.
So Young Eun!
Are you out of your mind?
What, 6.12 million dollars?
This is robbery!
Thanks. I'll take that as a compliment.
The money he wired to his mistress all those years ago?
Including that surely isn't fair.
He wired the money during their marriage.
The defendant liquidated the couple's joint assets...
at his convenience.
How can it be considered a joint asset?
I earned all that money!
Besides,
it was hardly wrong of me to pay them for their services.
The defendant's bank account shows that one million dollars...
was wired to her over the course of three years.
That's quite the service charge.
(Plaintiff, Plaintiff's Attorney)
The defendant clearly lacks a basic understanding...
of what families and marriages are.
Where did you park your car? Mine is this way.
Mine is that way.
I'll call once the judge makes a ruling.
Thank you for today.
Don't be. I didn't show any favoritism.
Must you always be so sour?
Someone did call me a party pooper once.
Was it Ms. Hyun?
How did you know that?
I'm good at sensing these things.
Just remember that I will run interference big time.
Oh, how terrifying.
I'll get going, then.
Pork cutlet gimbap, signature gimbap...
Have you memorized the menu? I hope it wasn't difficult.
It's easier than baking recipes.
With baking, there's a lot to memorize...
since a slight change can alter the recipe entirely.
Are you interested in baking?
Being a pastry chef is my dream.
Really? I'll look forward to your work, then.
I want you to be a breath of fresh air for us.
Give us new insight regarding our service and food.
I'll do my best.
You'll be working at our main branch.
The store where we first met.
I see.
You'll be able to adapt easily since you're familiar with the place.
Okay, that'll be all.
Why aren't you getting up?
You can get off work now.
But I'm still on the clock.
What are you going to do here though?
There's nothing to do.
Thank you.
- Are you leaving? - You told me to.
Have a good day.
Hey. Wait for me.
You said you come to work early to grow attached to this place.
Doesn't that mean you can stay longer too?
I've already grown attached to it.
Now, I'll be doing the same at the main branch.
What do you need to do in order to become a pastry chef?
Can you juggle that with your work here?
I bake cookies and cake when I can.
How do you know if what you make is any good?
I have my own tasters. My boyfriend and his family.
I see. So you have a boyfriend.
I do.
Since I told you about my private life,
can I also ask a personal question?
Sure, go ahead.
What year were you born?
In 1995.
Why do you ask?
Because you seemed young for someone in your position.
The doors are opening.
Good day, then.
It must be due to his position...
because he seems maturer even though Soo Jae's the same age.
(Good food for cold hands and feet)
(CEO Hyun Jin Heon)
Come in.
- Did you ask for me? - Right.
Have a seat.
The community outreach program we'll be conducting with...
the children's foundation.
Are things going well?
Yes, we agreed to send our food to an orphanage...
on the day set by the foundation.
The stores have been notified.
Just make sure none of them suffer a loss.
We can't have orders pile up...
just because they're busy making gimbap for us.
I told them that as well.
The managers are looking forward to a boost in sales.
Right.
Mi Rae called earlier.
She asked if I could give her driving lessons...
now that her car is out.
Can you do it instead?
Tell her to hire an instructor.
Having a family member do it will only lead to arguments.
You two always bicker anyway...
which makes you the best candidate.
All right, fine.
Anyway, come home early today.
I'm not a minor, you know. When I get home is up to me.
As if you have any plans.
Maybe a blind date.
Whatever.
"Mayor Hawk wrote a letter to the forest birds..."
"and asked Pigeon the Mailman to deliver it for him."
I see you're outside.
What brings you home early?
Your hands and feet have gotten colder these days.
I bought some ginger tea and sweet pumpkin for you.
What is it? Are you touched?
Gosh.
You make it impossible for me to complain.
Complain about what?
I can hardly remember.
I'll make dinner today. I suddenly feel like doing so.
I'll cook anything you want to perfection.
If you want to, then you should.
I should chew longer.
Kimchi stew with pork and tofu...
Mom, I wasn't expecting to see you out here.
I don't want kimchi stew.
- Then what should we eat? - Not what you make.
Soo Jung's cooking is better.
What would you like for dinner?
Something simple.
Dinners should be kept light anyway.
How about braised spicy seafood?
I'm afraid I'll have to go grocery shopping.
Why don't we stick to a meat dish today?
Right, sure thing.
By the way, Jin Ju called.
There's a nice young lady...
that would be a good match for Jung Hoo.
But she lives in Australia.
It's the niece of one of her neighbors.
Apparently, she's in Korea.
Jung Hoo's still relatively young...
and is in no hurry to marry.
That's right. He can wait until Mi Rae marries.
Why do you care about who marries first?
You two just refuse to let your children leave your nest.
Now that he's an executive,
marrying and starting a family will give him stability at work.
This is bad.
What's wrong?
Why am I irritated by everything your mother says?
She hasn't changed,
so it must be me.
As if that's hardly any trouble.
Even children are irritated by their own parents,
so this is only natural.
Don't try to always be so nice.
The stress will cause you to explode.
Who do you think Mi Rae takes after?
I never get in a drunken frenzy like her though.
I deal with problems head on in a clear state of mind.
I'll do better so that you never explode.
Salute.
Oh, no. This is bad, Mother.
My gosh. This looks grand.
It's nothing, Uncle Kyung Chul. Only a beef stew.
The healthy balance of protein and fiber...
will satisfy your taste buds while giving you nutrients.
You're quite the cook, aren't you?
She rarely cooks at home,
but you must be an exception.
Must you snap at your daughter-in-law like that?
As long as she's nice to someone, right?
You're the best, Uncle Kyung Chul.
Only you acknowledge my worth.
You know how it is though. Mother may have a sharp tongue,
but she means well.
Aren't you joining us?
I'm going to check on the kids upstairs.
They should have snacks while they wait for their mom.
Please enjoy.
Sure thing. Thank you for this.
Unbelievable. You've got to be kidding me.
She's always so pretentious!
Just let it slide. Why bother saying it to her face?
Fine. I'm happy to have a nice meal thanks to you.
By the way,
are Kyung Ae and Min Ho out on a date?
It's not even her birthday.
She should get a night out now and again.
Would she live with me...
if I insisted that she cooks every meal for me?
The thing I hate about being old...
is that I have to walk on eggshells around the kids.
Married couples should stay alive together.
Exactly.
But still, they don't get why we push them towards marriage.
As if they'd know what it's like to be old and alone.
They will once they're older.
Is it good?
I like everything that has been cooked for me.
Is that all you can say...
when I booked this restaurant after checking the reviews?
Okay, fine. It's delicious.
So what did you want to talk about?
I think it's about time...
we came to a conclusion regarding the marriage project.
You want to name Soo Jae as the winner?
Yes, according to Hye Young,
there are many men in their 40s who are still unmarried.
Our kids aren't the odd ones.
Let's not stress them out more than we need to...
and support the son who wants to marry.
Yoon Jae and Hyun Jae wouldn't accept it.
How can they not...
when they're not seeing anyone?
Are you even listening to me?
Dig in.
What?
Take your time and eat.
Should I order some dinner for you?
No, I'll be eating with Hyun Jae today.
You can head home right after the last patient leaves.
Sure thing.
(Director Lee Yoon Jae)
Then,
we'll be casually dating for now.
The phase prior to a serious relationship.
How does one do that though?
Let me tell you how.
It's the pre-dating phase.
What's a pre-dating phase?
Have you been in one before?
Of course.
It can develop into a serious relationship...
or end as a fling.
I asked how to be in one, not how it can end.
It's like being in a relationship.
Why is it a pre-relationship, then?
You can easily end it, that's why.
I've been in a few before, but not anymore.
Responsible relationships are more my style now.
Is there someone you're interested in?
Yes.
Who?
You don't need to know.
This is nice though.
Mom's little pet project will come crumbling down.
The tables have turned.
Soo Jae's out and you're in.
As if. I'm not even in a proper relationship.
My guilty conscience would scream.
Where did he go?
Don't worry, Mom. Everything will be all right.
I'm trying my best.
I sold the gym.
Just wait until I receive the balance, okay?
Just hang in there.
This is nice.
Come on. I told you it was all right.
Is it going to be yours once you pay the balance?
Sure. I went to Hyun Jae's gym the other day.
They are members-only there, but I don't think it's a good idea.
I'm thinking it should be half and half.
But I will do more research.
Where is your friend?
I guess he knew we were talking about him.
This is Na Yu Na. I told you about her before.
Oh, right. You said she was a friend.
Hello. I'm Soo Jae's friend, Chang Yeol.
Nice to meet you.
Cheers.
Are you sure you can trust your friend from earlier?
I saw him on my way to the gym, and he seemed very depressed.
I should be thankful to him.
He wants to start a new business after selling the gym.
But I'm not paying the balance,
so things aren't going as he planned.
Still, he hasn't complained once.
Is it okay to trust others so easily?
Are you worried about me? Are you afraid I'd be swindled?
So it's 70-percent complete now.
What do we do with the other 30 percent?
I want to kiss you.
Here?
Are you crazy?
Hey, I kissed you on the street because you wanted to.
I did it because that was our first kiss.
It meant something.
To me, it's just the same.
No.
Let's get back to business.
We need to have a meeting between our families.
You should tell your mother...
to meet my parents.
I can't do that.
Then...
We will need an excuse.
She doesn't approve of our marriage.
Or she's not in good health. What do you think?
You want me to say such things?
No. We talked about this.
You don't have to feel bad and guilty towards my mom.
I will do those things for you.
I've changed my mind.
I want to kiss you. But not here.
Mother, I guess you made good friends at your yoga class.
It remains to be seen whether they are good or not.
But it's fun to hang out with them.
I will greet them when I pick you up later today.
You don't have to come. That man said he'd bring his car.
Does he still drive?
People lose agility with age, so it becomes hard to drive.
People may lose agility with age, but they gain experience.
You can't write that off, you know.
Listening to me will only do you good.
You should try calling Jin Ju.
You should ask her about the girl she wants Jung Hoo to meet.
You two used to be close friends. Why don't you call her anymore?
Let me play some music for you, Mother.
She's not like she used to be.
Is she being like this because she can't live with her mom?
You're here.
Hello.
Would you like some tea?
No, thanks. Let's just cut to the chase.
Would you like to try it on?
Maybe later. I'd like to take a look first.
Isn't this too much?
Not at all.
You are tall and have great looks,
so it will look good on you.
Is this good enough to win back my ex-boyfriend?
You can't win someone back with your clothes.
If you two were in love,
you should try to change his mind with the happy memories you share.
You even offer advice? Fine.
I heard about D Fashion's new bag.
I'd like to take a look at it.
I should wear this and test it out when I meet my ex-boyfriend.
I may not win his heart with this,
but I might catch his eye.
How did it go? Did you sort things out?
What about you?
When are we going to meet Yu Na's family?
Yu Na's mother won't approve of our marriage.
And she's sick.
What do we do then?
We are not minors. We can get married if we want to.
Yu Na likes you anyway.
I know you are warmhearted and generous.
Stop trying to cajole me with your sweet words.
Mom, we just need Yu Na's mom to attend our wedding.
By then, she will change her mind and regain her health.
What will you say to your grandpa?
Mom, I'm Soo Jae.
You tried to use me from the beginning,
but I've come this far on my own.
Aren't you going to help me?
I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing.
I'm done talking to your dad anyway.
Oh, right. Don't ask Yu Na about her family for now.
She must be so upset.
Her mother doesn't even make side dishes for her.
Okay.
So we should strike while the iron is hot.
Why don't we have a family meeting tonight?
Okay. Great.
Then I'll send a message in our family chat room.
Mom, I love you.
All right.
Yoon Jae and Hyun Jae, you guys deserve to be pushed out of this.
(Director Lee Yoon Jae)
All right...
Well, then.
Shall I get started with this casual dating business?
(Jangmi Driver's Diner)
Is this a casual date? We're like an old couple.
How could he tell me to come all the way here...
just to eat at a diner at this hour? That silly dolt.
The food here is good, right?
You sure get your money's worth here.
That sounds nice.
But I like something fancy...
even if it costs a lot.
That's why...
you had nothing to eat in your fridge.
What does my fridge have to do with getting your money's worth?
Of course it does.
You're so busy caring about fancy things...
that you don't care about what you eat.
- Why are you speaking casually? - You started it, Ms. Hae Jun.
Stop calling me that.
Then how do you want me to call you?
Call me by my first name.
Got it, Hae Jun.
Gosh, it's so annoying. Don't call me like that.
Oh, no.
Let's go have some coffee.
I like having an Americano after lunch.
He's doing only what he likes.
How could you ask me to come from Gangnam to Gangbuk for lunch?
I mean, you only get an hour and a half off.
I went to your neighborhood several times.
You should come to see me sometimes.
And your hours are more flexible than mine, Ms. Hae Jun.
I told you to stop calling me like that.
Then what should I call you?
You don't want me to call you Ms. Hae Jun or just Hae Jun.
Just don't call me. I'll call you.
You're so weird.
Did you just realize that?
That's why I like you.
Yes. That's true.
What's true?
Now you attack me whatever I say.
Your eyes were heart-shaped before we started casually dating.
"Heart-shaped"?
I got you.
You said you didn't know I liked you.
I did some thinking after you told me you liked me.
Well...
You'd dropped all kinds of hints.
I had no idea I was that charming.
I'm leaving, you arrogant and haughty fool.
Wait, Miss...
Hae...
Excuse me.
Casual dating is fun.
Did he borrow his son's car?
No. They'll throw a fit if they find out.
My brother rented a car.
It's fine if he doesn't have a car. Why even rent one?
My brother is smart.
That's how he thought of renting one.
Do the kids think we won't do something they tell us not to?
You have a point.
Jung Ja, where did you go to school?
I graduated from elementary school.
I dropped out of elementary school.
My father wanted my brother to continue his studies.
They sent me to work at an early age,
and I even was a live-in maid.
It was good to get married.
My husband was nicer than my dad.
Mine was too. We have that in common.
My brother didn't finish middle school.
Our family was so poor.
My brother had a really tough life.
Still, he was a good businessman and he made a lot of money.
Yes, that he did.
Jung Ja.
Don't go liking my brother.
What are you talking about?
If the three of us start off as friends...
and then you start dating my brother,
I'll be the third wheel.
Don't be silly.
Jung Ja. Did you just curse?
That's not a curse word.
It's not a curse word, is it?
Hey, isn't that your brother?
It looks like it. Yes, it's him.
Wait.
Will you sit in the front or back?
Don't be silly.
Jung Ja. I need an answer.
Jung Ja?
Isn't it nice to be out on our own?
I should say so even if it's not.
Why are you so twisted?
Is something bothering you?
Oh, no.
Can I open the window?
Yes. I'll open it for you.
Well done you.
I haven't driven in a while,
and it's good to feel alive again.
We can't do without music.
I like this song too.
Do you? Sing along.
I can't do that. I'm tone-deaf.
You will not lose, you will not die
You stand before me so dignified
- You are me - Yes.
- And you are you - Yes.
This is amazing.
It's so nice.
It feels good to do something on our own.
How do you manage, tiptoeing around your kids?
I don't tiptoe around them.
It's their time, so I'm adapting to it.
When they were young, they adapted to me.
Jung Ja. These days, if you tell the kids what to do,
they'll all run away.
Not my son's family.
Hang on.
- You got a call? - Yes.
Family meeting at 8 p.m. tonight.
Important announcement pending.
What does it say?
We have a family meeting.
It's about Soo Jae's wedding.
Is your grandson getting married?
It's the youngest, not the older two we hoped for.
That's life.
It doesn't go as we plan.
Let's not think about that and get some cake.
I want something sweet.
- Sounds good. - Okay?
- Shall we go, then? - Let's go.
Hey. Did Ms. Lee leave?
Yes. And this is the transcript of Ms. Yoon's recording.
Okay.
Order me some jjajangmyeon for lunch.
I don't have to go to court today. I'll stay in and read some papers.
Is someone using this room?
Hello.
You look amazing today.
Do I?
Why are you here without an appointment?
I came to thank you.
I'll go and get you some tea.
How do I look today?
You look nice.
What will you get me?
Did I say I'd get you something?
Don't you thank someone with a gift?
I will give you a gift later. Today, I'm here to thank you.
You already did.
I'll thank you again.
Thank you. I'll make it up to you.
Your clothes are packed.
This was really hard to get, but I managed just for you.
Thank you.
It's good to see that you seem to be doing well.
I'm not doing that well yet.
I do everything myself because I have no staff.
That's why it looks like I'm doing well.
You wore the outfit.
Yes. I said I'd test it.
It was a success.
Take a look at this.
I don't need to.
Do you have time for a refreshment?
Of course.
I want a coffee frappe.
Can you make me one?
I'll have to buy you one.
You're a kind person.
I'm not.
Can you do something else for me?
What?
Can you lend me your phone?
I left mine in my car.
You don't have to if it bothers you.
I wouldn't lend it to me if I were you.
What?
I'm with Ms. Hyun.
Why?
I said I'd run massive interference one day.
So what?
I told her that...
I slept with you last night.
Hey!
She must like you a lot.
She left right away and hasn't come back yet.
And I'm at her office.
Should I go home?
No.
She seems heartbroken.
I should buy her a drink.
Stay right where you are.
Beer tastes best outdoors, right?
There's a park nearby.
This is insane.
(Lawyer Lee Hyun Jae)
- The receiver cannot be reached. - Darn it.
Why are you out here?
I changed my mind.
Let's have a drink.
Don't say no.
I'm suffering from the aftermath of my lawsuit.
Hey, what's the matter, Soo Jae?
I'm late for the family meeting.
That happens. Slow down before you break a leg.
I'm the main character.
My gosh.
I have the face of the main character.
Why isn't Soo Jae here when he called the meeting?
He said he'll be here soon.
He must've gotten off work late.
I'm home.
- Did you run? - Yes.
- Where are Yoon Jae and Hyun Jae? - I'm here.
Good. You guys need to be here for this.
Yoon Jae, you can represent Hyun Jae too.
Well, you surely have my attention today.
I think I know what this is about.
Same here.
So only Yoon Jae and I are in the dark?
No, I have an idea as to what this is about.
Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Yoon Jae,
I'm getting married.
My gosh, this is great news!
I'm happy for you.
Why didn't you bring Yu Na over?
I feel like she's with me wherever I go.
That's corny, you know. You adore her too much.
But I guess you must like someone that much to marry her.
Does that mean Soo Jae is the winner of the race?
Yoon Jae, admit your defeat.
Don't lose hope though.
I'm sure there's someone out there for you.
But what if...
I'm interested in someone?
Is there someone you have feelings for?
Then call it a twist of events,
because it's still too early to name the actual winner.
- Dad! - Honey!
How can you believe that he has someone?
He should bring her home like I did.
I could if you asked me to.
That being said,
I'll go ahead and shake up the game...
that was clearly in Soo Jae's favor.
My gosh. This is great news.
This can't be valid. Mom, say something!
Mi Rae!
Mr. Lee, what brings you by?
Where's Young Eun?
She went to get some beer.
Did you have plans to see her?
I'm sorry about this. She hasn't been herself these days.
The divorce process has left her emotionally disturbed.
Why are you apologizing on her behalf though?
Whatever she said to you isn't true. All right?
Wait, it's Ms. So.
What's taking you so long?
I'm almost home.
Please tell Hyun Jae...
that I lied.
- Sorry? - He'll understand.
What did she say?
That she lied.
What the...
The receiver cannot be reached.
Young Eun, are you kidding me?
The two of you...
must still like each other a lot.
But...
I don't appreciate being in the middle...
of your games.
- Mi Rae... - You're doing this...
when you're aware of my feelings for you?
It must be because you're worried that I'll be clingy.
But don't be.
That's not it.
All right.
I'll get going, then.
Would you like to have dinner with me?
No, I'd rather not.
Mi Rae.
I realize it now.
There's only one reason I ran all the way here.
I like you, Mi Rae.
Is this your idea of a joke?
No.
I meant what I said.
(We thank Lee Jung Hyuk for his special appearance.)
(It's Beautiful Now)
- Thank you. - For what?
Your gift.
Are you still not over Hyun Jae?
What would you know?
Just avoid marrying someone like her, all right?
Is something up?
Let me show you the apartment unit you'll get after marrying.
Please be honest with me. There won't be any repercussions.
I want to marry you.
But the apartment unit has been our goal.
This isn't the way I want to marry someone.
If you can rent the car again, I'll pay for everything.
This sure is nice.
Stop making a big deal out of it.
Mom told me not to say anything,
but driving at his age could lead to a terrible accident.
Did you find out?
I'm sorry I kept it from you.
