Hello.
I see you made a quick decision.
I thought you'd take longer.
(Episode 2)
Did you come to an agreement with your mother?
I want you to be the one to take my case.
Well, I decline.
Are you upset that I tested the waters a little?
I'm a professional.
Rejecting and being rejected are part of the job.
Then why...
Because I like to win.
I'm afraid the chances are slim in your case.
Is my situation that bad?
To win a case,
the client must be willing to fight.
I am willing.
More accurately, I've grown to be willing.
Upsetting other people makes you uneasy.
But suing someone involves upsetting the other party.
Do you think you can take it?
I don't think I can,
but I will.
Can you prove that you are now willing to fight?
My words are proof.
They're not.
I need proof that you're speaking the truth.
That's how lawsuits work.
The other party is claiming something entirely different...
and will try to find a way to prove that he's right.
This is tricky.
Lawsuits aren't easy.
Even the simplest ones have you on edge until the very end.
Hoping to be unscathed...
while inflicting pain on others?
That attitude won't help.
Let me ask you once more.
Do you think you can handle it?
I can't.
Let me escort you out, then.
I wanted to say that at least once.
After today, I won't be able to.
I see through everything that I put my mind to,
and I'm ready.
Are you still not going to take my case?
No, wait. You don't have the right to turn me down anymore.
The smile indicates...
that you're on board, right?
I hope we get along.
As of today, we are a team.
(It's Beautiful Now)
Number 21, come to counter number 4.
Hello.
I'd like a copy of...
my marriage record and my family relations report.
How many copies do you need?
One...
I mean,
two each.
The man registered on my marriage license.
Can I get a copy of his as well?
Sorry?
Oh, you mean your husband's?
Yes.
Can you let your brother-in-law down gently?
Mi Rae is going with the lawyer she consulted.
I don't like it, but what can I do?
Okay. Thank you for understanding.
So you're finally going through some distress.
I was jealous that you always seemed so happy.
- Are you happy now? - I'm not unhappy.
What? How could she say such a thing?
Gosh, I have no appetite.
Would you like to have some mugwort rice cake?
Really? I should try some then.
What happened?
Mom, I'm so upset.
Grandma. I'm so furious!
What's the matter? Did things not go well with the lawyer?
Like Grandma said, a lawsuit is...
the worst thing ever.
Darn it.
You can't be like this even before it begins.
Forget it!
What did the lawyer say?
I told you to go with the lawyer I saw.
It's hard to find a lawyer who can be sure to win.
You should get a new lawyer.
Jun Hyung and his mom are not easy to deal with.
They won't back off easily.
We need a lawyer who will stay on his toes until we win.
What happened? What made you so pessimistic?
I'm being realistic.
Read this.
I went to the community service center for some documents.
Jun Hyung is my husband on paper.
My heart skipped a beat.
The family relation certificate says Jun Hyung is my family,
not you and Dad.
I really want to get my name off the document.
"Make sure to focus on your spouse's faults."
"Example. Conversation. He used many harsh words."
"You crazy wench. Who do you think you are?"
Gosh. I didn't know a couple could swear at each other when fighting.
Mom!
It has to be detailed.
You have to write down every word Jun Hyung said.
It has to be descriptive.
You seem to have adapted to it already.
You know I'm quick to adapt.
This is what you've decided, and I respect your decision.
I understand that you're upset.
I knew what it would be like,
but going through it is a different story.
The lawyer wants me to bring evidence,
but I have to meet Jun Hyung to get some evidence.
I'll go with you.
If you come with me,
he won't talk easily.
So what can count as evidence?
Anything that can prove your husband's lies.
Like what?
Text messages you have exchanged.
Your mother-in-law, his ex-girlfriend, your husband...
Don't call him my husband.
And I don't like the word "mother-in-law."
Then what should I call them?
Persons 1, 2, and 3.
What do you think?
That's what we should call them.
Fine.
Recordings of phone calls with Persons 1, 2, and 3.
Recordings of conversations.
It's also a lie that he went to a school in the US, right?
How could he lie about his school?
Mom, I'm nervous.
Don't be nervous.
I'll wait outside. Just try to collect evidence.
Okay. I will.
Try not to look so hostile.
He won't cooperate.
- Have a nice day. - Bye.
(Yoon Dental Clinic)
(Ex-boyfriend)
Hey, honey. I told you not to call me when I'm at work.
Sorry. I'd like to make an appointment for my boss.
I told you to make an appointment one week in advance.
Did you not hear it? It's for my boss.
Doctor Lee doesn't like it when I squeeze someone in.
I will talk to Yoon Jae.
I'll fit her in at the earliest hour next week.
Gosh, you're being so stubborn.
It's not a university hospital.
Our clinic has a 4.8-star rating.
We're very popular.
Honey!
I need to get a pay raise this year.
Are you that clueless?
Think of the tuition fees for Ha Neul, Ba Da, and Hae.
Anyway, not tomorrow.
Give me a few options, and I will squeeze her in.
Someone might cancel an appointment.
I feel dejected.
Yes.
Ms. Sim.
(Law Firm Haejun)
Well...
You can't get an appointment for tomorrow.
Please give me a few more options.
The clinic is really popular,
so they are booked solid for the next week.
What's the name?
It's Yoon Dental Clinic. The doctor's name is Lee Yoon Jae.
- The "Yoon"... - You're so long-winded.
You sounded very confident.
I'll check my schedule and get back to you.
By the way, you told me this before,
but I forgot it again.
You and Hyun Jae are not cousins.
Your relationship with him was quite complex, right?
It's not complex at all.
So my grandmother is...
Mr. Lee's grandfather's younger sister.
So your grandmother's son's son...
is you, right?
Then why do you two have different family names?
What?
Why is that?
Oh, right. The thing is...
My grandmother got married to my grandfather.
And my grandfather was Choi.
Then Hyun Jae's father...
and your father are cousins.
So you two are the sons of two cousins.
(Lee Hyun Jae's father and Choi Sung Soo's father are cousins.)
Forget it. Let's just say you two are close relatives.
But people don't really hang out with their cousins these days.
I guess your family is quite close.
That's quite rare in this day and age.
Will you hurry?
We have to be there ten minutes before the appointment.
Don't be silly. We can take our time.
This is volunteer work. It's not like you make money from this.
You have to work hard, no matter what it is.
You never want to stand next to me.
Kyung Chul, people might think we're a couple.
Of course. We are growing old together.
My goodness. Kyung Chul.
I look young for my age, and you look old.
And I'm three years younger than you.
Fine. You're a lot younger than me.
You stay here. I'll go first.
Kyung Chul, wait for me.
Gosh, why is he walking so fast?
Today's topic is a party for the village elders.
Why don't we throw the party at Ms. Yoo's restaurant?
- I'd love that. - That's a good idea.
I thought it was already decided.
I just want to make sure if there are any other comments.
- All right. I'm on board. - I agree.
All right then. I'd like...
to thank Ms. Yoo and her son again.
Gosh, I should thank you.
For giving me the chance to help others.
How nice.
Who's calling?
- Grandpa. - Hey.
Hello, my sweeties.
Look. These are my grandchildren.
- Gosh, they are lovely. - They are so cute.
Aren't they lovely?
These are Grandpa's friends. Say hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
They are adorable. Hi.
- Thank you, Grandpa. - Thank you.
All right, kids.
I'll call you back.
I bought them new toys,
so they called me to say thank you.
Would you like to see my great-grandchildren too?
- They are so lovely. - Happy birthday to you
They are Ha Neul, Ba Da, and Hae.
Aren't they cute?
- They are adorable. - They must take after you.
They have lovely names.
They are Ha Neul, Ba Da, and Hae.
- My goodness. - Grandma.
- We love you! - They say they love me.
I mean, that's life.
I have a grandchild...
and my grandchild's children.
I think I've done what I had to do in this world.
You're so lucky, Ms. Lee.
I do think I'm very lucky.
Mr. Lee, are your grandchildren married?
No, they're all single.
His oldest grandson is 40.
That's how old he is.
What, 40?
No. He's 39.
Why did you round it up?
Kyung Chul, what's the difference?
By the way, is he 40 already?
Yes.
You must be worried, Mr. Lee.
I know I am.
These days, kids who date the right person are a blessing.
That's so true.
But kids these days just don't want to get married.
That's why you can't just let them be.
It's not good at all for our country either.
Is it?
No, it's not. It must be good to be you.
It is good to be me.
My gosh.
I always think...
it's so envious to see a brother and sister still close at this age.
- That's right. - You're right.
Wow, nice posture.
Your shoulders are nice and broad.
Working out here is so different...
from working out at home.
I'm really impressed. You work part-time and exercise too.
How are your studies going?
What do you think?
I've been studying the same thing for three years now.
I'm sick of taking the same exam over and over.
I don't think you're cut out to be a civil servant.
You don't pick a job you're good at. I want something stable.
Plus, my dad is a teacher,
and my brothers are a dentist and an attorney.
Civil service runs in the family.
Your grandfather was a businessman.
I think you're like your grandfather.
How about...
I sell you this gym? Do you want to run it?
Why would you sell out? It's doing well.
I want to sell while it's doing well.
How could I sell you a failing business?
I don't have the cash.
Ask your parents.
My dad helped me out at first instead of paying for college.
- I went to college. - You're still jobless.
If you consider your brother's med school tuition,
they should spend more on you to even things out.
That's just nonsense.
I really don't want to sell this gym to someone I don't know.
You know how hard I worked...
to find and keep this spot.
I'll try for this year's exam and give up then.
Opportunities like this don't come often.
This is the only time you can claim this gym.
Forget it. I'm off to play a game.
With Yu Na? Are you two dating?
We're gaming buddies. She's a friend just like you.
They look nice and taste even nicer.
Yu Na's cookies.
Lee Soo Jae.
I'll give you a taste of some really nice homemade cookies.
Let's go.
- Wait. - Where are you?
- I'm on my way.
Hurry. Go.
Why am I so useless today?
You're always useless.
Hey. Save some for me.
No.
I need to level up.
I can't let you do that.
Darn it.
Hey!
You pay for us.
You called me, so you pay.
Even though I brought these?
I'll pay.
How are they? I used less sugar this time.
These are not bad.
The other batch wasn't bad either.
Hey!
You can't take them back. I paid for the games too.
I'm providing you with cookies...
because I want to improve.
Why do you keep saying it's good?
It must be good to be edible.
Even if there are flaws, if there are more good points,
you can keep going.
What did your family say about the previous batch?
Grandpa liked them.
Mom said they were sweet.
And she still ate them all.
- She did? - Yes.
Tell me what she thinks this time.
Hey. Do you have to get a license?
I think you can just sell these.
I want to work at a bakery.
To do that, I need a license.
I'll gain experience there for a few years,
then open my own store.
Good luck.
That sounded awfully dry.
Will you ever pass the exam? When do you study?
That's my business.
I'm going to study today, not work.
I have plans too.
Are you working tonight?
Yes. I can't pass on a high-paying job.
If you decide to sue because you really want a divorce,
I'm the one who gains the most.
I never refuse a high-paying suit.
What?
Your wife doesn't want a divorce.
She's willing to try to make things work.
What if I drop the suit and get back with her,
and she goes back to her old ways?
You can put down a few conditions prior to the reunion.
If you write up what you expect from your wife,
it has legal force too.
You can change your suit to include a reconciliation phase,
and if everything works out,
you don't have to get divorced.
Can I think about it?
Sure you can.
Goodbye.
I sent you the files.
Now I'm off to get evidence.
She's so speedy.
You acted like you'd never see me again.
Did you feel bad about how you treated me?
I don't feel bad about anything.
You're the one who should apologize to me.
Did you ask to see me expecting an apology?
Then I'll apologize.
It's so easy for you.
Why would it be hard?
We're married.
Not for much longer.
Don't be so stubborn.
We have a legal marriage license,
and no one will believe you.
Did you even get a degree in the US?
Can you show me a certificate of graduation?
Will seeing that change how you feel?
You'll gain some of my trust, at least.
I'll show it to you if you want.
I have nothing to hide.
Thank you.
I guess that's all for today.
Shall we have dinner together?
I can't.
The patience required to be around you...
is all gone.
Isn't that just unfair?
I loved you and wanted you, so I lied to get you.
That's what all other men and women do.
You're just obsessed with the truth.
That's why we don't suit each other.
Honesty is my best virtue,
and you consider it an obsession.
Come in.
Hyun Jae.
How much do people get in alimony when a spouse cheats these days?
At Seoul Central District Court, about 20,000 to 30,000 dollars.
What about Suwon? That's where my client is based.
Less than Seoul Central.
I heard a recent suit was about 15,000 dollars.
It's less than I thought.
- Are you off to Suwon now? - Yes.
By the way, how is Mi Rae's case going?
I'm working on it.
Treat her nicely.
I treat all clients equally.
A client recommended by my boss is even more equal.
Good for you.
Now you see?
Where are you off to?
Do you know I have more cases than you?
I do.
Where's your car?
- Over there. - Okay.
See you. My car is this way.
Can you walk me to my car first?
No.
I thought...
you were still hung up on Young Eun to marry someone else.
That's not the case.
I get that now.
I hear you live with your extended family.
Who would want to marry you...
when she has to join such a big family?
She wouldn't be joining mine.
We'd be starting one together.
I want to start a family too.
You can't throw yourself at me like this.
Do you have feelings for me?
Can't you take me seriously?
As you know, you're the one...
who I spend most of my waking time with.
Right.
Just unlock the door, will you?
Get in.
Seat belt, please.
Enjoy your meal.
It's what my mother always used to say.
I'm going to date someone. Any man will do.
In your current state of mind, that'd be dangerous.
I will be against the man you date within six months from now.
What gives you the right?
I am your legal representative.
Kyung Chul, why are you cleaning up?
Others will clean it for us, so just leave it be.
One should always leave behind a clean trail.
Kyung Chul, please.
We're allowed to be a little sloppy at our age.
You being this way won't lead you to Jung Eun.
Why would you bring Jung Eun up?
I know that's why you try to lead an exemplary life...
which makes me feel bad.
Give it up already.
How can one give up on one's own child?
This is exactly why...
none of your grandsons have tied the knot yet.
Keep barking, will you?
My brother,
the cycle of life must stay intact.
You not letting Jung Eun go...
is why your grandsons are also stuck.
Meanwhile, I'll die a happy woman.
My son had a child of his own,
and his son has children of his own.
What about you though?
My Sung Soo is way younger than Hyun Jae,
but he's a father of three.
Not this again.
"And his son has children of his own."
Is that all you have to brag about?
Yes, that's all I have...
which is why I'll keep bragging about it.
If you want me to stop,
have your grandsons marry as well.
Unbelievable. You know what? Get home yourself.
Kyung Chul. Wait!
Kyung Chul!
Don't show yourself at school.
- He's right. - Don't come to school.
- Unbelievable. - Why is he at school?
- Just don't come to school. - Darn it.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
- Guys, run! - Run for it!
Come on!
Are you all right?
Thank you.
Why don't I buy you a bun?
Thank you.
Hey, kid.
You appreciate my help, but you won't have a bun with me?
They have a right to bully me.
I'm an orphan, you see.
You shouldn't pity me either.
(Morning Star Orphanage)
Father!
This is out of the blue.
I was hoping for a drink. Are you available?
Yes, of course. What would you like?
That's good for me.
Please enjoy.
- Please help yourself first. - No, go ahead.
It's your favorite.
Did something happen today?
I feel lonely, I guess.
Why is that?
I'd love nothing more than for Yoon Jae, Hyun Jae, and Soo Jae...
to marry and have kids.
They will in due time.
Why are none of them married?
Is it because I've sinned?
What have you ever done wrong in your life?
I lost my only child.
But you raised the one in front of you.
That was no good deed. It was the least I could do.
You're the one who saved me, after all.
No, you're the one who saved me, Dad.
Let's just say that we saved each other then.
All right. You're almost there.
Are you good? Please lie down.
I'll take the jacket. Here.
- Goodness. - Watch your step.
I sure am old now, aren't I?
I didn't drink much but...
Drinking while upset only made the alcohol work faster.
I should wash up.
You can skip a day.
Not like this.
How many times have I told you to remove the label first?
Again with the nagging.
You're less charming today.
I wouldn't have to nag if you did everything right.
Even though I come...
- bearing cookies? - Why are you taking the credit...
when they're from that girl, Yu Na?
She may have given them to me,
but I'm the one giving them to you.
Open up.
- Forget it. They're too sweet. - Not this batch.
Do you want some water?
Actually, they're moist. They're not dry at all.
Let me remove those.
- No, I'll do it. - Always so easy to win over.
Handmade cookies made you smile again.
I know you like the back of my hand, right?
I agree.
Are you and this Yu Na dating?
How many times must I tell you we're not?
Besides, why would I date when the exam is right around the corner?
Your father studied even harder...
and became a teacher faster after dating me.
Marrying early might not be so bad for you.
The added responsibility will help you pass the exam.
Don't be ridiculous.
Look at Yoon Jae and Hyun Jae. They're not married,
but they are doing well as a dentist and a lawyer.
Wait, strike that. Yoon Jae is broke right now.
Did he really lose everything?
I don't want to be a tattletale.
You've got to be kidding me.
- Yoon Jae! - My gosh, you startled me.
We didn't get to finish the conversation the other day.
Just how much in stocks did you lose?
Do you really want to know? You'd be angry.
Why would I be when it's your money?
Then I'll tell you. What would you like to hear first?
You can be angry first or be fuming.
Either way, I'll leave this room angry.
Okay, I choose to be fuming.
- I've gone into my overdraft. - What?
- You little... - If you smack me,
I'll tell Grandpa.
- You brat. - Keep it down, will you?
Your grandfather's asleep. What's going on?
He's driving me crazy!
Dad, she was just about to hit me.
Are you seriously tattling at your age?
- What... - Honey, let's go.
Honey, he's an idiot.
All he knows how to do is get good grades.
We're leaving. Stop teasing your mom, will you?
How can I not when it's my favorite pastime?
- That little... - Okay, I get it.
Let's go.
Seriously?
When will he grow up?
Not being married only makes him an overgrown child.
One who's not even in his teens.
What is this about?
He's gone into overdraft and must be in debt.
He lost his savings in the stock market.
He can start saving up again.
But when will he have enough to buy a house?
He wouldn't be in this mess had he married sooner.
He would've rented a unit with his wife...
and would've bought one a few years later.
Those who own a house...
have millions more than those who don't.
I think it's time for drastic measures.
Earlier this evening, Dad wondered if his wrongdoings...
are the reason why our kids haven't married.
This is all your fault, you know.
What do you mean?
He doesn't have anything to enjoy in life.
You're a good son to him,
so find him something he can enjoy.
Life is more than fun for him.
His daughter has stayed lost for over 50 years.
We've tried our best to find her,
so this can only mean that she doesn't want to be found.
It's about time he gave up.
You're wrong.
Knowing that he can meet her someday...
is what's keeping him tethered to this world.
If you can't find his daughter for him,
why not bring him joy some other way?
How do you propose I do that?
Once the boys marry and have children of their own,
he'll be occupied with them.
Remember how delighted he was when Yoon Jae was born?
When Hyun Jae and Soo Jae were little,
he was there for them more than we were.
How can we suddenly get the kids to marry though...
when they're not interested?
We'll nag them. Let's nag them into marrying.
Don't you know how our kids are?
Nagging them will never work.
Even when they're at each other's throats,
they join forces when it comes to teasing you.
It's their favorite pastime.
Your responses are more than enjoyable.
You're right. My responses are fun to watch.
You talk to them, then. They listen to you.
Let me think about it.
Think about what?
A way to provoke Yoon Jae and Hyun Jae.
Those boys are extremely competitive.
That's our way in.
I can finally hear the wheels in your head turning!
Yoon Jae, Hyun Jae, you're done for.
Your dad is coming up with a plan!
Keep it down. They'll hear you.
Now it's perfect.
No, wait. We need music.
No, let me.
All I want is for you to enjoy your wine.
I doubt this will be enjoyable.
Not when Mi Rae is upset.
What about her?
We got lucky, you know.
We could've found out further down the road.
You're right. That's how we'll view this.
We'll stay positive.
Right.
Maybe we should ask Mi Rae to join us.
Her head must be exploding right now.
All day, she went around trying to collect evidence.
That's enough. This is a moment for only you and me to share.
Have you forgotten what you promised?
Even after we have kids,
you promised that I'd be a priority.
How about I wrap this slice of jamon for you?
I hate wraps, you know.
Of course. You like enjoying things separately.
Here.
Mi Rae would be this happy too if she were to marry the right guy.
Hold on. That means you're happy, right?
Why is confirming what I said still a habit of yours?
Here.
I searched the NYC website...
to find a student who graduated in 2018,
but can't seem to find it.
If there's no photo, does it mean they didn't graduate?
Sometimes pictures can go missing.
Can you please send me a list of the graduates in 2018?
Of course.
Thank you so much.
I'll send you an email including the purpose of this.
Okay. Bye.
(Park Jun Hyung)
I'm sending you my diploma despite it being humiliating.
Think of it as proof of my love for you.
Please don't doubt me anymore. It's honestly upsetting.
He does have a diploma.
But the woman said he lied about studying there.
The stress!
When stressed out, one should eat.
I received the diploma from Person One.
Should I send it over with the other evidence I collected?
It's late, so please text me back in the morning.
(Lawyer Lee Hyun Jae)
Send it with the other evidence.
That was quick.
Dad, drink some of this.
Oh, sure.
- Here you go. - Right.
That's nice.
- Dad. - Yes?
What if Yoon Jae and Hyun Jae married?
- Are they willing? - We'll make them willing.
If you have a plan, put it in motion already.
We're already years behind.
You married your wife as a junior in college.
Isn't it nice to have three grown sons...
when you're still relatively young?
You were younger than your friends during their worst phases.
So what do you have in mind?
I thought about it all night...
and you know how competitive they are.
They sure are.
Losing isn't an option when it comes to one another.
So how about a wager?
- A wager? - That's right.
I told you not to call me on my day off.
I'll be on TV today, so monitor the show for me.
But I'll be driving.
I'm heading to my parents' place to see my grandfather.
Your family seems too traditional.
Any woman who marries into it has her work cut out for her.
Why do you keep saying that...
our family is a nightmare for women?
Is it because you want a companion...
that will also stay single forever?
That's enough talking for today.
Are you backing out?
I'm off to see the show I was on!
What if the other party fabricates evidence...
to make you seem guilty?
What should one do?
Once a lawsuit is put into motion,
winning the case is most important.
That's why people think and behave...
in ways that benefit them.
However, fabricating evidence...
to make the other party look guilty?
Would that even work?
Why am I glaring?
- I doubt it. - It wouldn't work.
I'm sure there are people who still try these antics.
Yes, absolutely.
I looked too directly into the camera.
I think things could get tougher that way.
What do we do to win then?
A lawyer like myself...
Gosh, I'm hungry.
I see. I guess you're right.
In this case, there will be fewer chances...
How did you like today's episode?
Did you find it helpful?
For more legal help...
We will be back next week.
KBS special, "Couple-Making" is coming up next.
I'm so lonely.
I need some painkillers.
Mom.
Mom?
- Isn't Mom home? - No. It's just us.
What are you doing?
Give me the chopsticks.
I only cooked one.
You can cook more.
I'm home.
I'm over here.
You cook it yourself.
Don't be so cheap.
Is this how I taught you?
You can share it with me and cook one more.
Why are you being so selfish?
You're eating ramyeon.
- Get me some chopsticks. - What?
How dare you talk to your older brother like that?
Why are you being so mean to him?
I'm not being mean to him.
I know you were trying to eat the ramyeon he just cooked.
Do you think he will share it with you? You should offer a deal.
Come here.
How much?
I want 50 dollars.
Give me a reasonable price. This isn't your pocket money.
I hate people being unreasonable.
Gosh, go ahead and eat.
What about 30 dollars? And I'll cook two more.
- Chopsticks. - Deal.
By the way, aren't Mom and Dad home?
- Cheers. - Cheers.
This is good.
To make them competitive,
we should offer them something tempting.
Then they will try harder to win it.
What if I offer the building I own?
Why would you offer your building?
If anything, it should be our apartment unit in Jangsan-dong.
I don't think Yoon Jae and Hyun Jae care about material wealth.
They wouldn't get married just for an apartment unit.
Then what should we offer to lure them into this?
I know Soo Jae. He's quite materialistic.
Then Soo Jae is in on this.
It would be nice to get Soo Jae in on this.
He's like a stormtrooper. He'd throw caution to the wind.
And he feels inferior to his brothers.
So he'd do anything to beat them.
That's not true. Soo Jae is not like that.
He's not inferior to his brothers in any way.
He's not as smart as they are, but he's the best-looking one.
Yoon Jae has good looks too.
Okay. So Soo Jae is in.
Great. He's the one who will make this work.
He has the exam coming up, so he won't get married.
Then each of us will mark one of them...
and figure out if they would find the apartment unit tempting.
Then we will have another meeting.
Okay.
- Let's do this! - Let's do this!
We share a secret that we can't say out loud.
They say parents equally love their children, but I beg to differ.
I love all my children, Yoon Jae, Hyun Jae, and Soo Jae.
But we all have our own favorites.
Yoon Jae is Dad's favorite.
(Jieun Medical)
Yes?
Grandpa.
Hey. Tell me how to use this thing again.
Look at you. You're trying to use it anyway.
Of course. I should listen to my doctor.
Have a seat here. Let me show you.
- Sit here. - All right.
All right. First...
Pull it out at elbow length.
That's right.
And cut it off.
Now hold it using your thumbs and index fingers.
- That's right. You can wind it. - Okay.
- Like this? - And put it into your gums.
Rub it.
That's right. Good.
Are you in debt?
No.
Your mom says you have an overdraft.
That doesn't mean that I'm in debt.
I just said that to tease Mom.
Don't you want to get married?
No one wants to set me up with a date. How would I?
You can find a matchmaking service.
You have a good job and good looks.
But I have no money, and I'm old.
That's because my investment failed.
But, Grandpa, if I tough it out,
I'm going to make a lot of money.
Do you want me to give you my building?
Really? Will you?
You don't have the slightest hesitation.
It's an inheritance from you.
Whether it is spiritual or material,
I'd be happy to inherit from you.
That's my grandson. You're not twisted at all.
Good.
Soo Jae is Kyung Ae's favorite.
Mom, do we have meat at home?
We have some in the freezer.
I don't want frozen meat. I want fresh meat when we get home.
Meat is expensive these days.
Are you going to be petty with food?
- Fine. Let's go. - You're the best.
(Generous servings of meat)
Soo Jae, you know I own an apartment unit in Jangsan-dong.
After your dad and I die,
you should share it with your brothers.
Why would you say that you'd die?
And why would I share it with my brothers?
I will live there with you until I die.
I know you're lying. My gosh.
You silly thing.
- I want that one. - Lastly,
my favorite is Hyun Jae.
You are good at grilling the meat.
You know I also cook well.
Aren't you going to get married?
I can't be bothered with dating.
Is this about Young Eun?
No.
Don't you feel lonely at all?
Sometimes.
But marriage is about...
becoming a family with someone.
It's a family that I choose.
So it's hard to decide.
Don't overthink this matter...
and just marry the woman who shakes up your world.
That's the difficult part. Shaking up my world.
Then what do you want the most these days?
What I want the most?
What do I want? What would it be?
An apartment unit.
Yoon Jae and I are different in every way,
but we're the same when it comes to investing.
We both failed to invest.
If I bought a house,
I would've made more money than what I've made as a lawyer.
Then you'd be happy if I gave you my apartment unit.
Gosh, you can't do that. It should be divided equally.
If I asked you a favor, how much would you do for me?
I would do anything for you.
I know you wouldn't make me do something unreasonable.
Maybe I should show Hyun Jae that trust is...
the mother of deceit.
- Here. Have a drink. - Okay.
My gosh.
Drink it up.
- Please have a seat. - Thank you.
Mr. Lee will be here soon. Would you like some tea?
- No, thank you. - Okay.
- Hello. - Hello.
- You didn't wait for long, did you? - No.
Please sit.
Park Jun Hyung must've received the notice by now.
All you need to do now is collect more evidence.
He does have the diploma, so I don't think he lied.
His ex told me that he didn't graduate from the school.
So I called the school and asked for the list of graduates.
If he's not on the list, the diploma is a fake.
If he's on the list, it will make him look more credible.
His ex lied, and you fell for her again.
Why would she lie when she has a child?
Maybe she wanted him back because she had a child.
She could've lied.
You don't have to look so despaired though.
I'm saying we can't lower our guard until we get the list.
- Okay. - You did well, though.
I like your attitude.
I don't know why my mood changes...
with each word you say.
Your praise put me in a good mood.
I'll call you when the first court date is set.
Cancellation suits are conciliation-prepositive,
so you'll have to face your legal husband for that.
As your legal representative, I'll deal with the rest.
You don't want to meet Person One.
Thank you.
Your wife must feel so reassured.
Sorry for bringing in your personal life.
I got ahead of myself.
That's fine.
Call me when the court date is set.
I will.
Bye.
- Are you done? - Yes.
Come this way.
- Goodbye. - Thank you.
What made her think I was married?
My gosh.
Hi, Mom. My attorney is so smart.
He's good at his job. I feel reassured.
Relax. That's what you say when it's all done and dusted.
You're naturally naive and you trust people too easily.
Do I? Anyway, he puts me at ease.
I should get him something.
Isn't he married?
You can give the wrong impression.
I'll get something for his wife.
Meet me at the department store designer label wing.
Let's go shopping.
What'll you have for lunch? I'll order for us.
Sung Soo.
Do I look that old?
Why? Did someone say you look old?
Why did she think I was married?
When we're out together, people think I'm younger.
Will you get a grip on reality?
Does looking younger make you younger?
This is how naive you are.
Do you know how worried your grandfather and Auntie are?
Order me a jjajangmyeon.
It's so hard to make the time for the three of us to hang out.
That's because Min Ho still works.
He'd have retired long ago if he'd worked at a company.
He still works because he's an educator.
You brag about him every chance you get.
Share what you each found out.
Hyun Jae is full of worldly desires.
I got him all wrong.
That's human nature. We all have worldly desires.
I raised him well.
I tested Yoon Jae,
and he'll jump at the chance to own the building.
Soo Jae will strip for it if you ask him to.
- Honey. - What?
I'm accentuating how well Soo Jae will do for our project.
Kyung Ae, let's not put up the Jangsan-dong apartment.
You worked so hard to save up to buy that.
We can't hand that over as a prize.
I was going to give the building to you both.
Consider it an early gift.
It has to be the apartment.
Hyun Jae said he wants an apartment.
I don't mind, Father.
I raised my three boys well with the rent we got from it.
That's enough for me.
I was overjoyed when I got the Jangsan-dong apartment.
Once I got a loan, paid off the balance,
and the apartment became mine, I started to dream.
We'd never lived on our own before.
Later on, when it was just the two of us left,
I wanted to live simply.
I'm sorry.
And thank you.
But now, I don't want to live with just you...
even if I have to.
It hurts to hear you say that.
I figured myself out as I got older.
I like living with a large family in a bustling home.
It feels bittersweet to think I'll give away the apartment.
It'll remain yours if the kids don't get married.
There's no guarantee of success.
We can't have that.
Then I shall summon...
a family meeting.
Okay.
Ms. Sim.
I'm a huge fan.
Can I have your autograph before you leave?
Thank you.
Mr. Choi told me a lot about you.
He told me a lot about you.
You're next.
First, we'll take some x-rays.
If you need anything, call me.
I will.
Come with me, then.
Let's see. It's this here.
Hello. How are you?
Fine, thanks.
I see your gums here are inflamed.
I had a cavity and inflammation,
and that's why I got a crown.
I think it was badly done.
It didn't feel right from that day on.
It could be a psychological thing.
First, I'll remove the crown.
Then I'll do a root canal...
and see if the inflammation goes down.
It'll take a while, then.
I'm really busy.
And your clinic is quite far.
If the inflammation and pain remain,
then we might have to pull the tooth.
Then you'll need an implant.
A tooth implant?
I'm too young for a tooth implant.
Lots of people in their 20s get implants.
That's just the worst-case scenario.
No need to get scared already.
If you say that after scaring me,
I would get scared.
Oh, okay.
"Oh, okay?"
What kind of reaction is that?
My gosh.
I haven't even started yet.
You'll go further down.
Let me see...
(To Yoon Dental Clinic)
Even your autograph looks pretty.
How was the treatment today?
Mr. Yoon is kind, isn't he?
He is.
Does Mr. Yoon know that...
I'm Hyun Jae's superior?
Of course he does.
Would you like some tea?
I would.
Come in.
Yes?
Come in.
Here.
I'll bring some tea. You two can chat.
This is Ms. Sim. She's on TV all the time.
Being on TV is no big deal.
People recognize me and that's about it.
I wouldn't know. I never saw you.
Okay...
This is awkward.
You know I'm Hyun Jae's superior, right?
Yes.
I came here instead of the many dentists I could go to...
because you have personal ties with someone I'm close to.
I thought you'd be kinder to me and put me at ease.
I see.
Well, I don't expect special treatment,
but couldn't you be a little more friendly?
I'm really scared of dentists.
Okay, friendly...
I understand if you expected me to be friendly.
But we just met.
Acting friendly...
when we're not friends, well, that would be business.
Is that what you want?
I didn't notice at first,
but you're a lot like Hyun Jae.
I'm not at all like him.
We just have similar interests in investments.
That means you're ruined.
What?
I apologize.
I should get going, then.
- Right. - Bye.
(Family Chat Room)
I'm calling a family meeting. Hyun Jae, do you have plans?
Seriously? Why couldn't he ask me that too?
Is it because he knows I wouldn't have plans?
I don't. I'll drop by later on.
He's free as well.
He's just as lonely as I am, I guess.
Mom.
Hey.
Do you see something you like?
I don't see the purse I saw the other day.
I asked them to pull it from the shelf.
I'll get it for you.
Since you're here, why don't we ask...
Dad and Jung Hoo out for dinner as well?
Right, but let's eat at home.
It's been a while since we had a family dinner.
Besides, we can't go out without your grandma.
You, my mom, are an angel.
How silly of me.
Wait. Don't tell me you're planning on a purse...
as a gift for your lawyer's wife.
Of course not. That'd be too much.
I have already chosen the perfect gift.
It seems like...
you were born with the ability to choose the right gifts.
I'm here for the purse I previously mentioned.
I have it ready for you. Just a second.
(CEO Hyun Jin Heon)
Come in.
You're here. Have a seat.
Sure.
I heard you conducted an inspection of the main branch. How was it?
It was all right.
Then why is it seeing a drop in sales?
I don't know. What could be the issue?
That's for you to find out.
I'll head there every day for the time being,
talk to the employees, and figure out the issue.
You're actually quite good at this.
Come on, Dad. I'm good at things that I want to be good at.
Expanding this company isn't a dream of mine.
All I want is for our consumers to enjoy our gimbap.
So don't let a drop in sales...
make you think about branching out into other fields.
Don't I know it. Internal stability is key.
I feel like I can count on you now.
Thank you, Mr. Hyun.
We should head home together.
Your mom will join us as well.
Your sister will come from her office.
The family is gathering for dinner.
Got it.
(Park Jun Hyung)
(Notice of Action)
Hello?
There's something to talk about. We should meet up.
I have nothing to say to you.
You still should meet with me...
since I have something to say.
That will never happen.
I said we'd meet again.
What's your problem?
Let the law decide for us.
Ms. Hyun,
in a lawsuit, one is allowed to defend himself.
Let's not give this an ugly ending.
(Incoming call, Dad)
- Hey, Dad. - What's taking you so long?
Why isn't he here? Where is he?
I'm stuck in traffic.
- Is everyone there? - Yes, we're all waiting for you.
Enjoy your dinner then. Got it.
The road is jammed.
Gosh, what's with the feast?
It's not every day the entire family gathers for dinner.
Mom, where's Mi Rae?
Beats me. She should be here by now.
(Mi Rae)
Mom, I don't think I'll make it to dinner.
We'll talk when I get home.
Anyway, why did you call this family meeting?
Is something up?
What is it? Am I in the dark because I moved out?
No, I'm just as clueless.
It's not like you care about what's going on here.
- Do you know what this is about? - No, I don't.
Your dad was just about to tell you.
Why don't you tell them?
No, it should be you. You're the man of the house.
- Then here goes. - Sure.
What we'll be discussing is your marriage project.
Our marriage?
A marriage project?
Whose marriage?
Isn't it obvious? Yours, of course.
Why do you keep butting in when your father is speaking?
That's unfair. Yoon Jae butt in first.
Your grandfather, your mother, and I...
have agreed to usher you all...
down the aisle.
No way.
That's easier said than done.
Why am I in the mix when I'm still young?
Anyone who brings home a fiancee within the next six months...
will get the apartment unit in Jangsan-dong.
What?
Dad, anyone who marries will get the apartment unit?
That's right.
Grandpa, this is wrong.
How is this wrong? It makes sense to me.
Dad, this is childish.
This won't get either Yoon Jae or me to marry.
Even if that apartment unit...
costs over one million dollars these days.
- It costs that much? - Yes.
How did you know that?
Have you been keeping tabs on it?
No, I've been viewing the market to make a purchase.
Why look into the price of that exact unit though?
I've been looking into the neighborhood.
Okay, I'm in!
What do you mean you're in?
Why would you be when you're still young?
How am I young when I'm over 20?
Mom, I'm in. Grandpa, Dad, I'm in!
Okay, sure. Go ahead.
Will the Jangsan-dong apartment unit go to Soo Jae?
Of course not.
That's just wrong.
You guys weren't interested.
Besides, where will you find a woman who'd marry an old geezer?
Don't cross the line.
Marriage just hasn't been my priority. If I put my mind to it,
I'll find a woman to marry in under three months.
You're so full of it.
How do you expect to find someone in under three months?
Meanwhile, I have a good chance.
Then you are all participating in this marriage race.
Dad, I have nothing but respect for you,
but this is still wrong.
I can't participate in an event that is unreasonable and unfair.
Nicely said, Hyun Jae.
The apartment unit is mine!
Nice!
(It's Beautiful Now)
I hear the one who marries first will win the apartment unit.
I have a feeling that Soo Jae will win the race.
Have you thought about it?
That you'll give me 30,000 dollars if I play your bride-to-be?
You might think of Yoon Jae as a goody two-shoes.
Why don't I call you by your name as well?
I bet he'll cause trouble.
He might bring home someone...
- he only just met. - Sorry?
You lied to me too, so why are you acting so noble?
You'll see me explode today!
Just you wait and see. Things won't go your way.
Let's grab a drink.
Is there a reason you asked to see me today?
Just know that this isn't only because of the apartment unit.
Hey, Hyun Jae.
Sung Soo, I'm getting married.
