I'm afraid...
I won't get to visit you often...
with all my children.
But I'll be sure to take good care of my father at home.
You don't have to feel bad...
that you didn't get to show me more love.
My adoptive father has loved me so dearly.
(Song Chul Jun, An Young Hee's Grave)
Even if the kids can't come,
I'll come to visit you. So please don't be disappointed.
(It's Beautiful Now)
(Episode 20)
Do you need help?
No. I can do it.
It feels like you are beating me.
Why would I beat you?
I just feel guilty.
I should've taken better care of your mother.
That actually makes me upset.
Why are you upset when I'm reflecting on myself?
Anyone can say such things.
It's time for action, not words.
I shouldn't have said anything. It just made things worse.
Just go ask what the kids want for lunch.
Okay.
I like him so much that he's constantly on my mind.
Mentioning him seems natural to me.
Am I a pervert? Why am I excited to hear that she likes someone else?
What are you mumbling about?
- Where are you going? - That's not your concern.
I don't care. I just asked because I'm bored.
You should go out. Why are you always home on your days off?
I'm going to work. I'll go check on the restaurant.
I'm not like someone who started a business but just plays around.
Hey, it's okay for her to forget about her work from time to time.
You're just using your work as an excuse for not having fun.
How did your blind date go?
You're only asking about it now?
It was over like a million years ago.
No one in my family cares about me.
Everyone only cares about Mi Rae.
Hey, your mom is making pork cutlet. Eat before you leave.
I'm not eating.
How is Mom doing, Dad?
You know how she is.
I think she's going through menopause.
I get scolded every day.
Mom.
I'm going out.
I'm making pork cutlet. Are you going on a date?
No. He's visiting his family today.
And I'm going to work.
Then you should eat before you leave.
Mom.
I don't want to fight with you.
But I don't know how to change things in our relationship.
A fight...
isn't always bad.
I'm just worried you might get hurt again.
You are just too trusting.
I wish I was as wise as you.
But I'm not like that.
You need to abandon all your illusions about me first.
You're a grown-up now.
I want to talk...
about my life with you...
and discuss things with you.
We can do that. I'm always ready to listen.
But I've watched you all my life,
and your life is always so smooth.
That's where you are mistaken.
Let's stop there for today. I'll see you later.
- Okay. See you. - Bye.
You're working too hard, Hyun Jung Hoo.
I have these.
I have my own tasters. My boyfriend and his family.
All right then.
I should take care of my health. No one else can do it for me.
Even my children are useless.
- Grandma. - Yes?
- What are you doing? - Hey, sweetheart. Come and sit.
Hey.
Try these. One of our employees made them, and they taste good.
I like homemade cookies.
She's a new employee, and she's hardworking and nice.
I see.
What do you think?
It tastes good.
You should tell me what tastes good about it.
Is it sweet and crisp? Something like that.
It's just a cookie. There's not much to say.
It has peanuts in it, so it's crunchy and savory.
I like it because it's not too greasy or sweet.
I can't eat a lot if it's too sweet.
I see.
Now I understand why you have no appetite.
- You have a good palate. - Exactly.
It's good.
Let's have dinner together at home.
I'm worried that Grandpa is alone.
That's a good idea. Now you sound like the eldest son.
I knew we'd end up doing this. So I've already chosen what to eat.
- What about haemultang? - Haemultang sounds great.
It will be even better with some soju.
I'm tired. Let's just order some food.
We're not telling you to cook. Hyun Jae will do it.
And you're bragging about it?
I was going to cook. All you need to do is eat.
That sounds nice.
All right. Let's go.
Gosh, I'm so disappointed.
What's so disappointing?
I'm talking about Uncle Kyung Chul.
He should be happy to be with us.
Why did he go into his room?
I guess he was uncomfortable because we all flocked to his place.
Why is he uncomfortable? It's not like we're strangers.
- We're not his immediate family. - My gosh.
I must say, this is an American-style family.
My gosh.
Still, Uncle wouldn't hang Mother out to dry.
I mean, she's his one and only sister.
But what can he do for Mom?
He could give her this house.
Would he want her to have to move around without a house of her own?
He has his own family to think of.
Do you honestly think that would be possible?
Don't even dream about it.
We never know what might happen.
When we were doing well in the States, we never thought...
we'd live off Mother like this.
They should be gone by now, right?
Gosh, they're all gone.
- Kyung Chul. - My goodness.
Why are you still here?
We don't know when your children will be home.
So I will have dinner with you.
You're being so annoying.
Kyung Chul, I'm the only one who cares about you, right?
What are you talking about?
Why did you bring all your children down here?
I don't want them talking about my kids.
I thought you went into your room because you were upset with Min Ho.
I never get upset, no matter what you say about him.
But I hate it when someone speaks ill of my Min Ho.
You spoke ill of him earlier.
You're such an odd man. I didn't speak ill of him.
Kyung Chul, you're not the only one who has children.
I only put up with you because you are my sister.
- My gosh. I'm so grateful for that. - Grandpa.
- Hey, you're home.
You're here, Auntie.
Hey. Now that you're here, I'll head upstairs.
We're having haemultang. Why don't you stay and eat with us?
You eat it. Kyung Chul wouldn't want me to stay.
Why not? Did something happen?
Nothing happened.
Hey, stay and eat with us.
Do you mean it?
Yes. Just eat.
Kyung Chul, I'm only staying because you asked me to.
I'm not staying because I want to eat haemultang.
I'm asking you to stay.
- Me too. - All right.
(Fresh fish)
Put it back. Why would we need that when we're making haemultang?
I need it.
You're supposed to buy a bunch of stuff at the supermarket.
Why did you come along in the first place?
I'm working in my office.
Are you still at your parents' place?
(Photo)
Yes, I'm still at my parents'.
I'll call you later.
Will you get off work late?
Who is it?
She has a ton of men's clothes picked out on her tablet PC.
Are you peeking over my shoulder?
It was just in my view. You didn't even hide it.
Hey. Are you really going to get married?
What? Do you think I'm going to fake getting married?
I'm going to get married this month. Then it's game over.
You guys better not change your tune later on.
I'm going to buy some flour, so Yu Na can make bread.
You're really milking it.
Did you enjoy your meal?
Thank you. Come again.
- Come again. - Come again.
Hello.
Why are you here on a weekend?
I was just in the neighborhood.
Should we go out for drinks together after work?
That sounds good to me.
Me too.
Can you come too, Yu Na?
If everyone is going, I should too.
I don't have any other plans.
Then let's go out after work.
- Okay. - Okay.
It's so nice to have the whole family together.
It's really nice to have you here, Aunt Kyung Soon.
That's right. I'm always the life of the party.
You're right, Auntie. Here, let me pour you a drink.
Oh, thanks.
- Here you go. - Ta-da.
Grandpa, let me pour you a drink.
Okay, pour me one. I'm in a great mood today.
- Then I'll pour you a drink, Dad. - Okay.
- Fill it up. - Then I'll pour you one, Mom.
- That's good. - You guys have a drink too.
- Oh, gosh. - You all worked so hard today.
Not at all.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Okay, Dad. Please say a toast.
What do we need a toast for?
When we're all together like this,
it just feels like someone should say a toast.
I guess I can say one, then.
I don't have anything to say!
Kyung Chul. What kind of toast is that?
It just means I'm really happy.
- I'm really happy! Cheers! - Cheers!
- Hooray! - Cheers!
- There.
Isn't it especially tasty now that you've finished your homework?
No. It's always tasty.
I hate it when you do this. Why must you put a condition on food?
Me too.
The kids can think for themselves now.
How can you live without thinking?
I feel like my head's about to explode.
Why do you have so much to think about?
Oh, who is that?
Who is it?
Sung Soo, it's me.
- Oh, Soo Jae. - I wonder why he's here.
What is that?
- Hello. - Hi.
Are you already having dinner?
How can this be dinner? This is a snack.
Sit and eat. You too.
I heard you came by when Grandpa was home alone.
This is haemultang. I was told to bring it over.
The kids can't eat it anyway because it's too spicy.
Please tell them thanks.
Let's hang out sometime with your girlfriend.
I'll buy you two a meal.
- That sounds good. - Hey, Soo Jae.
Did you see your brothers' girlfriends?
I haven't.
Yu Na saw Yoon Jae's girlfriend.
They're around the same age.
We thought she was much younger.
Do you know her, So Ra? Apparently, she's a patient.
They're around the same age? A patient?
After bringing them to the parking lot at the foot of a mountain...
the location of the truck...
Seriously, why isn't he calling me?
He said he moved in with Hyun Jae, so he could see me more easily.
Gosh, I want to call him.
Did Ms. Sun say something?
Seeing how Ms. Sun told Hyun Jae,
she's not very good at keeping secrets.
What if Dolt finds out that I'm the source?
That's it for me.
What do I do?
- I'm done for. - Dr. Lee's girlfriend...
is one of our patients who's around the same age as him?
Can you guess who it is? You have great instincts.
There's another hint.
No, it's not her. She came by for a root canal.
We just need to find...
a female patient around Yoon Jae's age who received a root canal...
in the past three months.
There was someone I was suspecting.
But I disregarded her because it didn't make any sense.
But...
I think it's her.
You're going to be surprised when you hear who it is.
I want to be surprised.
Ms. Sim.
There's no way.
Yoon Jae and Ms. Sim...
If Ms. Sim and Dr. Lee are really dating...
I really think Ms. Sim is too good for Dr. Lee.
That's nonsense. Yoon Jae is too good for her.
Why is Ms. Sim trying to get married?
She should just live alone.
I know, right?
Wait. Are you saying...
you regret marrying me?
What? No. What are you saying?
It's not the time to talk about us.
Does Hyun Jae know about this?
I don't think he does.
There's no way he would be doing nothing if he did.
Everyone would agree Ms. Sim and Dr. Lee...
don't make sense as a couple.
I packed a lot since Yoon Jae is also there.
What? I'm sure Yoon Jae will sleep here tonight.
It's Sunday.
I'm pretty sure he'll follow you.
Hey, are you ready?
I was right, you see?
I'm so grateful to you for taking Yoon Jae in.
Why would you say something so mean?
Your dad and I left as soon as we dropped him off at your place.
We were worried you'd change your mind and send him back with us.
What? So I was just a pawn in your guys' scheme?
There's no scheme.
Mom. Hyun Jae makes me feel so bad for not having my own place.
I sleep on his couch.
He kicked me out when I asked to sleep on the bed.
What? You told me to sleep on the couch.
Be quiet. Both of you, leave.
Figure out your problems on your own. Go.
What time do you get off work today?
(Cookie)
(What time do you get off work today?)
I'm going out with my coworkers today.
You don't have to come pick me up. You must be tired.
I'm not tired at all, you fool.
- Yoon Jae. Put the dishes... - Gosh, I'm so tired.
I'm so tired, seriously.
Why does Mom always pack so many side dishes?
It'll take days to eat all of it.
I wonder why he's calling.
Hey, Sung Soo. One second.
Hyun Jae. Big news.
The woman Yoon Jae is seeing is Ms. Sim.
Are you sick or something? You're not making any sense.
No, really. So Ra's pretty sure it's Ms. Sim.
She went to Yoon Jae's clinic for treatment before.
I know those two better than anyone.
Never say never, but that would never happen.
He says it's not true. Even you get it wrong sometimes.
What?
I asked Hyun Jae.
He says those two definitely aren't dating.
The more I think about it, the more certain I get.
Let's bet a hundred dollars on it.
I'll give you a hundred dollars if I'm wrong.
A hundred dollars is a lot of money.
Why are you already planning on losing?
You could win a hundred dollars.
That's true. Let's go!
I'm confident.
I got this.
Gosh. Should I take some to her or not?
Would she enjoy it if I did?
I guess she would.
- Yoon Jae. - Oh, what's up?
What are you doing there?
Oh, I was just standing here.
I heard something ridiculous just now.
Are you dating Hae Jun?
No... Who said that?
You stuttered. You must also think it's ridiculous.
I thought it was ridiculous when I first heard it too. Gosh.
I mean,
how could they match you and Hae Jun together?
From what I know, you two...
are the worst match on this planet.
That's pretty extreme.
Ms. Sim is a bit below my standards, right?
She should be with someone better than you.
Why am I not good enough?
Once you find something you like, that's all you can focus on.
You're terrible at managing your life...
and are easily swayed.
Especially with investments.
- You're also as stubborn as a goat. - Why you...
You're my official hater, aren't you?
The one closest to me was my worst enemy.
But most importantly, she doesn't like you.
I'm sure about that.
Why would Hae...
I mean, Ms. Sim.
Did she say something about me?
It'll only infuriate you.
That's all for today.
He infuriated me enough already.
Does he mean there's more to say?
I see he isn't here yet.
I told him not to come, and yet he insisted.
His feelings for me must be genuine.
Hae Jun.
My heart just skipped a beat. "Hae Jun."
Are you just getting here? You should've just rested at home.
This is for you.
It's my mom's kimchi.
She packed some for us.
Your mother gave me some of her kimchi?
No, it's for us to eat,
but I brought it while Hyun Jae wasn't looking.
Even if he had known,
he would've told you to bring it to me anyway.
He cooks for me too, since he knows I'm bad at it.
I can cook too if I put my mind to it.
Maybe I shouldn't have brought this.
Hyun Jae would've ended up giving you some.
Are you jealous of your brother?
Well, that jerk...
Forget it. Did you badmouth me to him?
Why would I?
I knew it.
He'll be the one to ruin it for us.
As you know, we've just started to take things seriously.
This dolt is labeling our relationship again.
People giving us their two cents about our relationship...
will just end up ruining it.
What do I do? I should just tell him.
I told Ms. Sun about you.
Yoon Jae.
No matter what people say about me,
please only believe what I say.
Got it. The same goes for you as well.
Got it.
Next time,
just come by my place instead.
Your place?
Noted.
Yes, Ms. Kim.
I apologize for calling on a weekend.
It's just that I don't get any days off.
The day I decide to rest is a weekend for me.
I see.
You must be out driving.
Yes, I'm on my way to meet my girlfriend.
She's working on a weekend, so I'm headed to her office.
I see.
DADC, Mr. Lee.
I didn't ask, and I don't care.
I see.
Could I perhaps get a sample of a divorce petition?
I'd like to know how the plaintiff should fill it in...
and the legal measures that the defendant can take.
- Is it urgent? - I'm afraid so.
Then I'll send you the files via email later on at night.
Sure.
Enjoy your evening, then.
I will, thanks.
White is always the answer. It goes well with everything.
Even a men's jacket is wearable. It makes a good oversized jacket.
The door was open.
- You made it. - You should have locked it...
since you're here by yourself.
It's the weekend, so the adjacent offices are empty.
Maybe you've seen one too many crime thrillers.
I specialize in criminal suits too.
Movies could become a reality.
I didn't think you were the nagging type.
How could you think that I'm nagging you?
Why on earth are you wearing a men's jacket?
It's my brother's.
I thought it'd be a good idea to have it on display.
I finally have signed my first male client.
I thought I was your first.
You didn't pay for my services,
so no.
Spoken like a true business owner. Good for you.
Why don't you wrap things up? We'll grab dinner.
Didn't you have dinner with your family?
It was more of a late lunch.
We visited my grandparents' grave, you see.
Isn't your grandfather alive?
I guess it means...
that I should tell you about my family history.
Your family history?
My dad was adopted.
Soo Jung, is that you?
You picked up almost immediately.
Of course.
When have I ever let the bell ring?
You have. I was so worried...
that I called your nurse.
Yes, of course.
Goodness.
You have a good memory, I give you that.
You seem to be in a good mood today.
Don't mind me...
spacing out or speaking gibberish from time to time.
I'll visit again next week, Mom.
In the meantime,
don't skip your meals or your medication.
I'll be asking your nurse.
Don't worry.
Sure.
Got it. Goodnight.
Goodnight, Mom.
Gosh.
Darn. I can't be bothered.
What are you thinking about?
You're home late. Were you at the office?
Hyun Jae came by, so we had dinner together.
I see. That's good.
I learned about Hyun Jae's family history today.
Did something prompt him to speak about his family?
His father was adopted.
- Adopted? - Yes.
Yes, at the age of ten.
After his birth parents died in an accident,
his relatives took turns looking after him.
In the end, he was taken to an orphanage.
I don't want to hear this. Let's go inside.
Hearing that made me want to meet his grandfather.
I wonder what he's like.
And yet you show no interest in your own grandmother.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Is she doing all right?
Mi Rae's home, isn't she? I thought I heard her voice.
- Yes. - Is something up?
What is it? Did she argue with that guy?
I... That lawyer...
Hyun Jae, I mean.
I've never been fond of him.
I had this gut feeling.
Did he say something about Mi Rae's past?
It's not like that.
His father...
was adopted.
Adopted?
I hate it.
I hate it because he reminds me of myself.
The memories I wish to forget.
The grubby three-year-old...
who was wandering around the station...
is being dragged back out of me.
Do you remember how you were at the age of three?
I don't. But...
There's this unpleasant feeling.
I can feel it.
Dad, are you in bed?
No, not yet.
I see you were checking your blood pressure.
I didn't get an accurate reading. I'll have to try again.
Today,
the kids, Kyung Ae, and I paid our respects.
They must be proud, looking down from above.
I told them that...
I wouldn't be able to come by often with the kids though.
The kids are already busy enough.
I shouldn't burden them with that kind of duty.
Good thinking.
When I die, have me cremated and scatter my ashes on a mountain.
Then there won't be a grave for you to visit.
Dad, come on.
I wish to remain only in their memories.
Once in a while,
they'll remember me.
They won't have to fuss over making regular visits.
Besides, living in their memories seems better.
You're not wrong, I guess.
I should do that as well.
But it's more difficult to live in someone's memories.
They should only remember the good things about you.
Of course.
No one wants to recall painful memories.
The memories we share are mostly good, aren't they?
Of course.
And we will continue to make more.
On the way home,
I thought about Jung Eun.
If she had been able to meet her birth parents,
it would've saved her a lot of confusion.
Not knowing who her birth parents are...
must've left a hole in her heart.
She must've resented me for decades now.
We did everything on our end,
so we can only let time solve this matter.
But you have me to keep you company while you wait.
My son just knows how to say the right things.
Let me clear the empty bottles.
Good job, everyone.
I'll make sure we get to eat out often.
Thank you.
Why are you being so nice to us?
The restaurant is under my care because it's the main branch.
Here.
Ms. Na, don't you normally drink?
I do, but only with people I'm comfortable around.
Wait. Are you saying we make you uncomfortable?
I'll have another.
Cheeky, aren't you?
That's what makes me so charming.
Why don't we raise our glasses?
Sounds good.
Gosh, I'm full.
Have a safe trip home.
You should say goodbye to Mr. Hyun before you go.
I know. I was just saying goodbye to you first.
Enjoy the rest of your evening then.
- Sure thing. See you tomorrow. - Sure thing. See you tomorrow.
I'll also get going.
That was fast.
I haven't even called for a driver yet.
I was hoping to tell her about her cookies.
Are you all right?
Yes, I just lost my footing, that's all.
I see.
I see you're still here though.
I need to call for a designated driver.
Go ahead, then.
I was going to.
Wait.
My grandmother said...
that she liked the texture of the peanuts.
It was nutty, not too buttery,
and not sickly sweet which she prefers.
That's exactly what I was going for!
Nutty, not too buttery,
and not sickly sweet.
Thank you, Mr. Hyun.
That was like receiving a gift.
Have a good evening, then.
Right.
Thank you.
Who knew that it would be enough to delight her?
It's actually easier than expected.
There come the trainers.
I've been waiting for them.
Hello.
Can we help you with anything?
Is it your first time here?
No. Haven't you seen me around? I've been here often.
It's just that we've had a lot of trainers come and go.
I see.
I wonder why he didn't tell me.
I took over the gym, you see.
I'm Lee Soo Jae.
You must be our new boss.
I hope we get along.
Likewise.
I've actually come up with a new idea,
so let's talk about it over drinks sometime.
We'll have Chang Yeol join us.
I'll leave you to it, then.
It's good to meet you.
It must've been someone else...
- who signed the contract. - Why do you say that?
I met Mr. Cho after he just signed the gym over.
That wasn't him.
You're bad with faces though.
I guess that's true.
Exactly.
Hello.
Yoon Jae, get up.
Don't you have a class to get to? Darn it.
Seriously?
The class is in the evening.
I don't think I can sleep on the couch anymore.
Then sleep on the floor.
Let's swap tonight. I'm taking the bed.
That depends on how you behave. Now, eat your breakfast.
Oh, my back.
I don't think I can eat this just after waking up.
You're always so fussy.
Isn't it easy to make things like this?
Not for you.
I can do anything I put my mind to.
Can you teach me a simple dish to cook?
I'd like to be able to cook for myself.
Sure, I'll do it.
Now that I think about it, it'll actually make my life easier.
As soon as possible.
Fine.
Hey.
I see that the kimchi is gone.
Nothing gets past him.
I'm sure it's somewhere.
Somewhere?
But I looked everywhere in the fridge.
Let me draw up a reasonable hypothesis...
where you took it to someone.
Who have you been dating?
Come on. It's just your average woman.
Why does it feel like you're keeping something from me?
I'm not keeping anything from you.
What about your girlfriend? Why won't you introduce me to her?
She doesn't want to go public until she's absolutely sure.
It's the same with me and my girlfriend.
As you know, I hate everything that seems unreasonable and unfair.
This marriage race needs to be canceled.
Soo Jae won't let that happen.
He already thinks that the apartment unit is his.
That's exactly why we must put an end to it.
This apartment unit is Mom and Dad's retirement plan.
They only offered it up to get you married.
There's a good chance that it might actually happen,
so we need to put things back to where they were.
Call a family meeting, then.
You're taking the lead on this one though.
I don't want to get into it with Soo Jae.
And Yu Na too, for that matter.
Also, what is with that girl?
I'm getting a bad feeling from her.
You'll change your mind once you meet her.
She's cheerful and seems to have a healthy perspective on life.
What you see isn't everything.
It's so clean.
Take mine too. I'm done.
This is what you're good at.
I'm good at many other things.
Let's get along, Hyun Jae.
Thank you for the food.
Gosh.
Where have you been? You left early in the morning.
I went to the gym.
Gym?
- You mean Chang Yeol's gym? - Yes.
- Is he still running the gym? - Of course. Why?
I heard his family moved away.
Did you not know that?
No.
I ran into them at the market a few days ago,
but they didn't say anything.
Is something wrong with them?
I'm sure it's nothing serious.
Why isn't he picking up?
Hey, Soo Jae.
Thank goodness.
Hey, where are you? You weren't at the gym.
My family just moved, so I've been busy.
Why are you moving all of a sudden?
Well... My parents want...
to live close to their siblings.
So we moved to my uncle's neighborhood.
I see.
There's only one thing I'm good at, so I'll just run a gym again.
My uncle and I will run it together.
It's a new town with many young people. I think it's promising.
I'm sure you will be successful.
Oh, right. Did you talk to the landlord?
Well... He's on a trip now.
He will give me a call when he's back.
Thank you for everything.
Hey. Don't thank me. This is good for both of us.
You and me, we go way back.
Let's not get so emotional. I'll talk to you later.
Chang Yeol, I'm sorry I doubted you.
I'll be good.
Can I get some sikhye?
Did she not hear me?
It's uncomfortable when Soo Jung is not around.
She's been visiting her mom quite often lately.
No one cares more about a parent than one's own children.
But it depends on who the child is.
Gosh, where's the sikhye?
Hello?
Mom. What are you doing?
Hey. I want...
to have some sikhye, but I don't know where it is.
Isn't Soo Jung home?
She went to visit her mom.
She's such a devoted daughter.
I know she's good to me,
but she's even better to her own mom.
She's nothing like my children.
Gosh, I guess I caught you at a bad time.
Go and enjoy that sikhye. I'll call you again later.
Hey. Is that why you called me?
You're in a bad mood now,
so I don't think you will like what I say.
What is it?
I want to buy a new car.
Darn it. Unbelievable.
- Mom. - Hey, you're here.
You brought flowers. They are beautiful.
You seem to be in a good mood.
I am.
I went out for a walk this morning.
And I took my pills so you wouldn't scold me.
That's great.
I made some cabbage soup for you.
I brought enough for us to eat together.
Great.
Let's eat this and go for a walk.
Do you know who I am?
Do you think I can't recognize you?
Hey.
Even when I lose my mind before I die,
I'd definitely recognize you.
I'll stay here and watch you finish your dinner today.
I'd love that.
This is nice.
Hi.
Are you taking me to work today?
Yes. I couldn't pick you up the other day.
You don't have to do this though.
I've set my heart on this. I won't waver again.
But I wavered today.
I doubted Chang Yeol.
He's an old friend of mine, but I was swayed by money.
I lost all my faith in him because of money.
That means something suspicious happened.
How did you get over it?
I thought he ran away, but he picked up my call.
I'm nervous.
It's not easy to lie.
Once you tell a lie,
then that lie calls for another ten lies.
We have to get this done quickly.
I feel the same way.
I mean, this is a type of fraud.
It's not easy to deceive my own parents.
Did you realize it just now?
Now you must know how hard it's been for me.
I do know. That's why I'm under your thumb.
Since when were you under my thumb?
What are you doing?
This is cute.
If you find me cute, you're done for.
There's no way you can get away from me now.
Don't flatter yourself, Cookie.
Hey, wait for me.
My gosh.
(Yoon Dental Clinic)
Good morning.
You're here.
- We're ready for the meeting. - Okay.
Dr. Lee.
When did you last meet Ms. Sim?
Yesterday...
Why do you ask?
Yesterday? You're so busted.
Why are you staring at me like that?
So she's the one who told Hyun Jae about her.
I look at you like this all the time.
Oh, I see.
All right then.
He's pretending like it's not true.
It's too late though.
(CEO Sim Hae Jun)
Ms. Sim. This is Lee So Ra from Yoon Dental Clinic.
This is a reminder of your regular check-up appointment.
I look forward to seeing you again.
It hasn't been long since my last check-up.
But I should go if he wants to see me.
It's like killing two birds with one stone.
(Law Firm Haejun)
Hello.
- Hello, Ms. Kim. - Hello.
Mr. Lee is in his office.
Okay. Thank you.
- Wait, Ms. Kim. - Yes?
Does your new drama feature a thug by any chance?
Well... It does. Why do you ask?
I'm sure I will make a good thug.
I see. Are you an actor?
No, not really. Let's say I'm an aspiring actor.
I see.
But it won't be easy to appear in a TV drama.
There should be a labor union for extras.
I know it's not easy. That's why I'm asking you for a favor.
I see. But I don't have such authority yet.
I'll make sure to give you a part once I become famous.
I will give you my full support, materially and emotionally.
- Thank you. - Please go in.
Nice.
You had a phone interview, right?
I'm calling because I need to know what was said during the interview.
Yes.
Yes?
My schedule is pretty packed today.
I think tomorrow morning would work.
I'll check my schedule and get back to you.
All right.
I see you're busy even when you're in the office.
I'm handling a lot of cases.
There's a lot of documentation I need to review.
I also have things to explain to my clients.
Can I come with you...
when you go meet your clients?
Oh, I don't think that would work.
I don't think the clients would agree to that.
If your older brother is a dentist, and you're a lawyer,
do you help each other professionally?
I don't know about helping each other,
but we help our father...
in helping kids who have aged out of the orphanage system.
I help as a legal counsel,
and Yoon Jae provides free dental treatments.
- You do so much good work. - Gosh...
I was thinking I'd have a dentist character in my drama.
I'm going to visit Dr. Lee's clinic with Ms. Sun.
I don't know much about dramas,
but does the storyline always change so often?
It's normal to write stories and rewrite them.
When does it air?
Oh, that. It would be better if you didn't ask until I told you.
Oh, yes. I understand.
Hi, Ms. Sim.
Hello. Have you been well?
Yes. Dr. Lee happens to be on a break.
For 30 minutes.
Do you want to go in?
He'll be happy that you're here.
Sure.
Go ahead.
(Director Lee Yoon Jae)
Yes?
Hello.
Oh, what brings you here?
I got a message from your clinic saying that I'm due for a checkup.
Checkups are once every six months.
I think Ms. Lee knows you're my girlfriend.
What do we have to hide from So Ra?
Sung Soo and I are family.
So that means there are no secrets.
Does that mean Mr. Choi knows too?
One hundred percent.
Mr. Choi won't say anything if I ask him not to.
Don't worry.
Hello.
I came here earlier than my appointment time.
I wanted to see Dr. Lee before I head in.
She's a screenwriter for dramas.
Hello.
But unfortunately, Dr. Lee is with a guest right now.
You know Ms. Sim, right?
Of course.
She'll be happy to see me.
This went down...
I don't understand stocks no matter how much I look at them.
My back and shoulders hurt so much...
from sleeping on a couch.
I'll give you a shoulder massage.
- I'm really good. - That's fine.
I'm serious. Come here.
- Really? - Yes.
- Doesn't that feel nice? - Yes.
Hello...
- Hello. - Hello.
What are you doing here, Ms. Sun?
Why else would I be here?
I'm happy to see you two being so friendly like this.
But did you guys make up...
Ms. Sun!
Let's chat outside.
Where are you going?
Outside.
Outside?
Did you not get your treatment yet?
Yes, it's fine.
Wait, did you make up...
What should I do with her?
I swear it's not true.
I came all the way here to tell you.
I heard from a trustworthy source.
I can put this news on TV if I want to.
I can write a catchy headline for clickbait,
get a lot of views, and profit from it.
Do you know...
what would happen to you then?
The whole country is going to hate you.
Okay. That's fine.
Just tell me who said that about me.
I promised Ms. Sim I would keep it a secret.
Ms. Sun.
I trust you, Ms. Sun.
You said you wouldn't tell.
If anyone tells him, it's going to be me.
- Ms. Sim... - Hush.
I don't want to hear anything else.
What's up with her?
She doesn't know that I told Dr. Lee.
Wait. Are they dating?
So, she's keeping a secret. He's acting like he doesn't know.
I just got chills.
Oh, no.
Isn't it nice to walk?
Gosh.
But can we go inside?
Of course we can.
Mom, aren't you hungry?
We just ate lunch.
By the way, don't you have to go home?
I'm going to leave after we eat dinner.
Mom. I'm going to go and buy some abalone porridge,
so go ahead inside.
Okay.
It's Dolt.
What do I do?
This is why I shouldn't live in sin.
I have to tell him.
Honesty is the best defense.
(Incoming call, Dolt)
I can't do it.
He's going to be so disappointed in me.
It feels awkward.
That's normal.
You've never worn this style of clothing before.
That's true.
Try this jacket on.
You're used to wearing comfortable clothes.
So instead of completely switching to a classic style,
it would be better for you to start with a casual style like this.
I can really feel that the suit makes the man.
That's how people start to get interested in fashion.
Where are you, Mi Rae?
I need to talk to someone.
You're already here?
Mi Rae. Hi.
Why did I do that?
Why...
did I do that back then?
Drink some tea.
I don't think Dolt will ever see me again.
You know how uptight he is.
He didn't even think of me as a woman at first...
just because I was two years older than him.
What mistake did you make?
I can't say.
I'm so embarrassed.
I'm sure he'll understand if he loves you.
Do you know how many divorce cases I've handled?
Couples who used to be madly in love...
bite each other's heads off over a spoon when they're splitting up.
Romantic feelings...
can easily be blown away.
People are often wrong when they try to guess someone's reaction.
What will he think of me?
He'll think I'm a horrible person who lies.
You must really like Mr. Dolt.
I do.
It's fun when I'm with him.
He's funny without even trying.
This might not be the right time to say this,
but my boyfriend is the same way.
Even his fleeting remarks are hilarious.
How nice would it have been...
for us...
to go on double dates and build our friendship?
I dreamed of doing that.
But now it's all ruined.
Mom.
You must've been tired.
Gosh. I guess I shouldn't have dragged you around so much.
I just thought that walking would do you good.
Mom, why aren't you answering me?
Mom.
My gosh. Mom, are you all right?
No, it's...
- It's nothing. - Mom, wait here.
When do you get off work? Can we grab dinner together?
So much for only meeting on the weekends.
It's impossible, right?
Aren't you heading home?
Why didn't you knock?
Gosh, I'm sorry.
- Are you happy now? - What was that?
- How was my acting just now? - Was that acting?
Didn't it seem that way? I must've done a good job.
Are you trying to get into acting again?
Ms. Kim's new drama needs to be a huge hit.
I'm ready to do whatever I can to make that happen.
No one wants you to do that.
That's why I'm saying that you should instead.
Please, I'm begging you. Do it for me!
What has gotten into you?
I'll head home, then.
My gosh.
(Recent calls)
(Director Lee Yoon Jae)
Why did she decline my call?
I'll hear her out when I see her.
Let's meet up outside your apartment building.
No way.
I knew you'd ask me out.
If we only meet on the weekends,
we'll have to give up on...
any other personal relationships until we go public.
I can't see you on weekdays.
Let's do as we please and not follow any rules.
Really?
Got it.
You seem more comfortable with me now.
I am.
I asked to see you to talk about Ms. Sim.
No wonder. What about her?
She's having trouble with the guy she's seeing.
Who on earth could she be dating? I'm truly worried.
I think she made a mistake of some sort.
It's been eating away at her.
I feel terrible.
If you tell me things like this,
I'll switch on my "troubleshooter" mode.
It's why I told you.
Gosh, this is already exhausting me.
I'm home.
Soo Jung isn't home yet.
She's having dinner with her mother.
Got it, you fool.
Mom...
(Crystal)
This is Hyun Jin Heon, Jin Soo Jung's husband.
Honey, it's me.
This situation with my mom is killing me,
and I can't handle it on my own.
I'll be right over. Stay right there.
Is something wrong?
I don't know. Mom, I have to go.
Hey, you can't just leave like this!
What could be wrong?
Hey.
I have something to say to you.
Go ahead.
Darn it.
I'm the one who talked to Ms. Sun about you.
I made a huge mistake.
I did it because I liked you.
I wanted you all to myself,
and I didn't want to let someone else take you from me.
It intrigued me, you know.
You didn't know me well enough to sabotage me like that.
I had a bone to pick with you...
which is why I asked you out to dinner.
You knew all along?
I wanted to know why you told those lies.
I was aware of your feelings for me.
At first,
I couldn't believe it. I had nothing going for me,
so why would you like me?
And then I figured it out.
That I'm actually a catch.
The guilt ate away at you, didn't it?
So why do it in the first place?
I don't think you've ever been this quiet.
Stop teasing me.
Why should I? I plan on doing it forever.
Forever?
- There goes your imagination. - It's not just me.
It's been on my mind too.
Aren't you going to have your tea?
Why don't we have the tea later...
and let our imaginations run wild?
Sounds good.
Where should we start?
I'm finding it hard to get my mind out of the gutter.
Who could it be at this hour?
Beats me. Who could it be?
- It's Hyun Jae! - Hyun Jae?
Hyun Jae! Look!
- What now? - Hyun Jae?
- What are we going to do? - Why is he...
- My room! - Right, your room.
No, not there.
- That way. - The master bedroom.
Wait, your shoes!
My shoes!
Your shoes!
(We thank Nam Bo Ra for her special appearance.)
(It's Beautiful Now)
- Are you going to call him? - Yes, my brother.
I hear it coming from over there.
You know my brother, right? Can he eat with us too?
- With us? - Do you not want to?
But you know him.
Please share this among yourselves.
I'll help you become a patissier in any way I can.
Why, though? Why are you willing to help me?
You must be a new employee.
No, I'm the new owner.
The owner?
Why do you seem hesitant?
I like you, that's why.
Why are you suddenly talking about your boss?
Do you not draw the line when it comes to baked goods?
Mi Rae is aware of it now.
The fact that you're not fond of the guy she's dating.
I can't pretend to like him when I don't.
Hey. Where do you usually go on your dates?
I'll stay until you fall asleep.
If I don't, you won't be able to leave.
