Mom, what's wrong?
Mom, does it hurt?
Where does it hurt?
Mom, why won't you say anything?
Doctor.
Mom, please. My gosh.
Doctor!
- What's wrong with her, doctor? - Please step back.
- Please help her! - Ma'am, please make room.
My gosh, Mom!
Ma'am?
Mom?
(It's Beautiful Now)
(Episode 33)
Over there.
I should've stopped by to see her earlier.
How bad is it?
I won't know until I get there myself.
Why did she suddenly take a turn for the worse?
She was fine up until lunch.
What happened to her?
It seems like food entered her lungs.
When those with a low immune system choke on food,
a small bit of it could enter the lungs.
That leads to an infection...
which can cause aspiration pneumonia.
Will she wake up once her condition is treated?
I'm afraid things aren't hopeful.
She will hold out for the time being,
but it will take a while for her to get better.
I'm more concerned about the complications...
that will follow.
What kind of treatment would she need?
We'll give her antibiotics and pressor substance...
to deal with the inflammation.
Keeping her blood pressure in check will be our priority.
For the time being, we'll wait and see what happens.
Thank you, doctor.
(Intensive Care Unit)
- Honey. - Mom.
Honey!
Honey.
Mom, drink this.
Does Grandma have to stay in the intensive care unit?
Then let's go home.
You can see her in the ICU only during visiting hours.
I think you should listen to him.
(Director Lee Yoon Jae)
You should've informed me after telling her that...
I heard her on the phone.
I at least could've been prepared that way.
I should call Hae Jun.
I'll call her when I get home.
You shouldn't have to marry a woman two years your senior...
while being looked down on.
I can't believe her brother.
And her sister-in-law for that matter.
Anyone will say that she's marrying up,
so how dare they think otherwise.
And to know that your grandfather heard it all as well.
Gosh, I can't just go home.
Still, you should've gone home.
Mom was upset after meeting with Hae Jun's family.
Actually, I didn't want to say this,
but her brother did bother me a little.
He didn't seem so excited about this marriage.
Hey, is that what you said to Mom?
Gosh, I just played dumb.
I didn't want to make things worse.
That's good.
I'm not even married yet,
but I'm tired of walking on eggshells already.
Hey, I'll just sleep here tonight.
Gosh, you're unbelievable.
You should at least call Mom and Dad.
You're supposed to talk to me when you're home,
but you just read books all the time.
My goodness.
You seemed upset, so I was just trying to study your face.
You said you'd meet Hae Jun. Why?
She says she will think about what she needs.
We still have some time.
I don't think it will be easy to find an available wedding hall.
He must've heard that I met Hae Jun.
Look at him not coming home.
Does he like her that much?
Why aren't you coming home?
Mom, I'll sleep at Hyun Jae's place.
Hey, just stop trying to fool me with such lame lies.
I know you're at Hae Jun's place now.
No. I'm at Hyun Jae's now.
Hyun Jae, you should talk to her.
Mom.
Hyun Jae?
Yoon Jae is staying here tonight.
- Okay. - Mom.
You said it was no use raising a child.
You were talking about Yoon Jae and not me, right?
Hey, you left after seeing only your dad and grandpa this morning.
Come on, Mom. You're special to me.
So I was going to see you separately.
You don't have to flatter me like that.
I'll wait and see how you behave when you get married.
Gosh, Mom. It's obvious I will be nice to you.
Good night, Mother.
"It's obvious I will be nice to you," my foot.
Hey, do you really think you'll be better than me?
I also had no idea things would go like this.
Just because I don't have a car...
Did Hae Jun's brother criticize you for not owning a car?
No.
I bet he did.
Do you have more beer?
That darn dolt.
I thought he was done being a dolt, but there he goes again.
Since I met his mother, shouldn't he give me a call?
I clearly told him I was flustered when I met her...
without knowing that she knew.
How did he know I was talking about him?
Hello?
Is there a cancellation already?
Really? When is it?
The end of this month? Thank you so much.
I'll go sign a contract tomorrow.
Okay. Thank you again. Bye.
Dolt.
We are getting married at the end of this month!
This is so exciting.
Should I call him?
I mean...
We haven't even set a date yet.
What's there to prepare?
Why are Mom and Hae Jun making such a fuss?
If you want a hotel, you'll have to wait till next year.
They're probably fully booked.
Hey, I don't have to get married at a hotel.
Hey.
Gosh, she's going to kill me. I was supposed to call her.
Go ahead and die, then.
Hi, Hae Jun.
- Are you home? - No, I'm with Hyun Jae.
Hyun Jae? What are you doing there?
I'll sleep here tonight.
You should come.
Let's drink together.
Yoon Jae and I are drinking beer.
I'm not going.
What?
- She's not coming. - Whatever.
This doesn't feel right.
You already had a good look at it before you bought it.
Why are you checking it out again?
Because I want to.
By the way, why is no one home?
My gosh.
They're coming together.
Gosh, what a colorful dress.
I guess your mother is feeling better now.
Look at her. What did I do?
Mother is in the intensive care unit now.
What? Why?
Why else? She's in bad shape, that's why.
Grandma, we will be upstairs.
Hey, aren't you going to talk to me at all?
I can't believe this. I'm so offended.
I understand why Jung Hoo is being like that.
But Mi Rae can't treat me like that.
You should talk to them. You saw how they treated their aunt.
I knew she was in bed, but I thought she was doing fine.
So you never know when you'll fall ill if you're old.
My gosh. You're really serious about food and health.
Still, you can't get soft on Soo Jung, Mom.
This has nothing to do with what she did to me.
I'm not a fool.
Right?
She will be fine, okay?
Give me some water.
What about you?
I don't want any.
What's the matter with you?
What did I ever do to you?
I understand why Jung Hoo is being like that,
but I thought I was always nice to you.
Am I wrong?
You're right. But you crossed the line.
Why are you guys making a big deal when your mom isn't saying anything?
How could I not make a big deal when my mom got slapped?
See? You just can't see reason.
That's why you got swindled.
I just don't get it.
Why did you register your marriage before the wedding ceremony?
It's not like you couldn't wait to buy an apartment.
People these days just live together and see how things go...
before they register a marriage.
Why are you bringing that up now?
Why? Does it hurt?
I brought it up to hurt you.
What you and your mom have isn't a healthy relationship.
What did your mom and you do when it happened?
You just went to a lawyer to take care of it yourself.
You were afraid that if you told your mom how you felt,
it would make her feel worse.
So you kept it bottled up.
I bet your mom didn't mention your fraudulent marriage...
for fear of giving you a hard time.
How can a mother and daughter be like that?
You should express how you feel,
laugh, and cry.
That's what moms and daughters should do.
Not all moms and daughters are like you and Grandma.
Your mom's the problem.
Your mom's adoptive mom...
failed to teach her what a real mom does,
and your mom never picked it up.
You being like this is why Mom never said anything.
It all makes sense now.
If she'd told you, you'd have attacked her like this.
No. If she'd told us,
it would've been tough for a while after her marriage.
But we'd have gotten over it as if nothing were wrong.
Your mom...
wanted to be treated and respected like a professor's daughter.
As your aunt, I'm telling you the truth.
Can you cook me a stir-fry instead of fruit?
Dumplings are fine too.
Are you hungry?
Yes. Why do I always feel so hungry when I eat?
See who that is and get the door.
Hey.
It's Hae Jun.
I thought so.
Hae Jun.
What's that about?
The Deona Hotel manager called right before I left work.
Someone canceled.
They called me first.
Really? When's the opening?
The end of this month.
That soon?
- You're not happy? - No, I'm so happy.
How did we get an opening so soon?
I guess we're supposed to work out.
That's crazy.
- Do you want a drink too? - You bet.
The three of us being here makes me miss Mi Rae.
Call her over.
Not now. It's too late.
Hi, Hyun Jae.
You said you'd go home. Are you home yet?
Yes.
You can't come out, can you?
Why?
My brother and Hae Jun are here,
and I thought it would be nice if you were here too.
I do want to say all sorts of things right now,
but I can't go all the way there.
Is something wrong?
A lot.
Shall we take a walk?
Say whatever you want. I'll listen.
Why didn't you call?
In case I got scolded.
When did I scold you?
Yoon Jae.
Where are you going?
To see Mi Rae.
Have fun with Hae Jun.
Goodness.
He's going out at this hour?
He must like her a lot.
I like you a lot too.
So, will you sleep here tonight?
Yes.
Why, when you can stay with me?
What?
Let's go to my place. Get your stuff.
Did you bring anything?
- No. - Then get up.
What should I tell Hyun Jae?
That you'll sleep at home.
- Get up. - Okay.
What did your parents say about me?
What?
Well...
I met your parents last time.
You said they liked the shoes I bought them,
but you didn't tell me what they said about me.
I didn't ask.
Did they say something...
you can't tell me because I'd be hurt by it?
It's not like that.
They said you looked sweet.
That's a good thing.
Did you tell them how we met?
I did.
Then were they aware when we met that day?
Yes.
That's what you wanted to know?
I wanted to ask,
but I was waiting for you to tell me.
What I went through before we met.
I don't want to keep it from your parents.
I don't want to deceive them.
I didn't intend to.
And I don't think it needs to be kept a secret.
I think that's one issue dealt with.
What's next?
My mom's mom.
She's in intensive care.
That's terrible.
Does that mean her condition has gotten worse?
It must be hard on your mother.
Your grandfather adopted your father.
He told everyone from the start, didn't he?
Yes. My dad was ten when he was adopted.
There's no way people didn't know.
Wasn't it hard on your father?
The bias of being adopted.
My grandpa loved my dad so much.
He said it wasn't a problem.
I'd like to see your father again.
And your grandfather.
Shall I arrange another meeting? With Grandpa too?
Yes, in time.
Okay.
We're a bit preoccupied with Yoon Jae's wedding.
I'll bring it up when most of the preparations are done.
I don't want you to tell your family about my mom yet.
Don't worry.
I won't say anything until your mother does.
My dad and your mother have different circumstances.
Yes?
Hello.
Hey! What made you come all the way to the office?
I have something to say.
The offer you made last time.
Yes.
I'd like to give it my best shot.
Let's do this.
Okay.
Hello, boss. I'm reporting for duty on day one.
Welcome!
What were you doing?
- Cleaning the hall. - I'll do that.
We have a customer as soon as you came in.
Is there a Na Yu Na?
What? He's asking for you.
What is it?
This is for you.
Who is it from?
There's a card inside.
Goodbye.
Who sent it?
I wish the best for Star Macarons.
"I wish the best for Star Macarons." Who's Hyun Jung Hoo?
My old boss.
Unbelievable. I quite like him, you know.
Does he have the hots for you?
Of course not. He's just a nice person.
Thank you, Mr. Hyun.
(From Na Yu Na: Thank you, Mr. Hyun.)
I'll stop by sometime.
I wish to buy some macarons as a gift.
My old boss will stop by sometime.
Apparently, he wants to buy macarons as a gift.
Why haven't you responded? Tell him he's welcome anytime.
I don't want to burden him.
Have you forgotten what he said?
He wants nothing but the best for our shop.
He wants to see us succeed more than anything.
Sure, you should come by.
Jung Hoo.
Aren't you having breakfast?
I'll head off to work.
What...
That brat.
I'm sick and tired of this.
I should just head back to Australia.
It's not like you to be cooking.
Mom should eat, shouldn't she?
Now that Soo Jung's home,
you're taking better care of Mom.
Mi Rae's helping out as well.
Tell Mom that breakfast is ready.
Why are you making me your errand girl?
Have Mi Rae go instead.
Grandma.
Breakfast is ready.
Is everyone having breakfast today?
Jung Hoo left for work.
Is your Mom still home as well?
Aren't you going to have breakfast with her at the table?
She said she'd stay out of my sight...
until I forgave her.
Grandma.
Are you going to let Auntie keep insulting...
me and Mom?
You've been a brat to your aunt as well.
Besides, it's not like she's making anything up.
Your mom has been lying to us from the second she knew us.
So how could I forgive her overnight?
Even if your aunt insults you,
you should be good to her...
if you don't want your mom to be known as a bad seed.
You being this way...
makes me understand my mom's sufferings.
You calling her a bad seed makes me uncomfortable.
You should be good to your mother-in-law.
Mom, breakfast is ready.
Should I serve it here?
What about your grandmother?
We grilled the Hamburg steak you made in advance.
But that's not enough. It should be served with a salad.
Don't you worry about that.
She's not even nice to you,
so why do you even bother?
My mom said I should be good to your grandmother.
Being nice to her...
might get her to wake up.
Mi Rae must've gone straight upstairs.
She must not want to eat with us.
She can be that way with me,
but she shouldn't be rude to her grandma.
Jin Ju, don't try to create a rift...
between Mom and my children.
Recent events taught me a few things.
One must have children of their own.
Soo Jung is proof of that.
Even though she caused this mess, the children will only take her side.
Yes, one must have children,
but that all goes down the drain once they get married.
They're only your children when they're in the nest.
Mom, are you done eating?
As if one could eat in this mood.
Is it undercooked?
Grandma.
I'm off to work.
Sure. You're at least telling me before you go.
I appreciate it.
Grandma.
What is it?
Can't you forgive Mom?
What?
Consider all that she has done for you.
It came from the bottom of her heart.
Head to the office. You don't want to be late.
Come in.
I don't think we have a meeting today.
When I got home, Yoon Jae had already left.
Did you know that?
How could I not when he's my fiance?
Gosh.
Things will get busy now that the date and venue have been set.
It's why I need a favor.
I might neglect my duties a little at the office,
and you're to make up for that.
Don't be ridiculous.
We should still keep it professional.
You always do that even though you'll end up doing it.
It's my way of keeping your arrogance in check.
Arrogant, my foot.
I'm a timid sheep in front of your mother.
Go, Mom!
Nice.
Just wait and see.
You'll have another thing coming once you propose to Mi Rae.
Hae Jun, please.
Is marriage not on your mind?
That's wrong, you know.
Mi Rae will come by later,
and her help is what I desperately need.
Can you even go on your honeymoon though?
You have cases stretched out for six months.
It's more than I can take on.
I know.
Yoon Jae has patients lined up for three months too,
so we'll be going six months later.
Anyway, did you tell my mom?
It's Yoon Jae's day off today, so I'm sure he'll tell her.
You know...
Would she get upset about the wedding being too soon?
It's too soon.
The end of this month? That's only three weeks away.
It seems like an act of desperation.
You're the one who wanted us to marry as soon as possible.
It's the only date available if we want to have it at a hotel.
Otherwise, we'll have to wait a year.
Why does it have to be at a hotel?
It's what she wants.
Hae Jun wants that?
She's on TV often, and then there's her age.
I guess a hotel wedding is what she wants.
That reminds me.
There's no need for you to help us. We really don't need anything.
We'll take care of it all,
so just be there on our wedding day.
Who'll pay for the venue?
You? That's for us to pay.
Also, I asked Hae Jun to tell me what she needed.
Who are you to speak for her?
Who says it really doesn't matter.
It's the same no matter who it comes from.
Then do what you want and don't bother to inform me.
Mom, why are you being so emotional?
You're being just as emotional.
Honey.
You're not being a good mediator between your mom and Hae Jun.
That's why she's so emotional.
That's exactly how I feel. Listen to your father.
Yes.
Why must you do it in a way that upsets your mom?
I'm sorry.
Following me out here is making me uncomfortable.
I'm seeing you off.
This is a first though.
If only you had taken my side sooner.
Yoon Jae apologized without saying a word.
Gosh. Yoon Jae will soon be leaving the nest, you know.
Don't regret it later on and let him marry in a good mood.
It's the same with Hae Jun.
She has her career to consider.
I never said anything.
They agreed to get married.
She's going to be a part of our family.
We're their elders, and love should trickle down.
I blame myself for seeing you off.
All I wanted was to praise you,
but you ended up patronizing me again.
It's actually nice to have you see me off.
Hey. This one seems like the best.
I agree.
That's it for the wedding dress.
What about the reception dress?
I have a few choices.
Just a second.
Go ahead.
Hey.
I told my parents.
About the wedding date, I mean.
As you know, my mom asked...
if we needed anything before the wedding.
Did you tell her we were all set?
I did, but...
Since this is between you and my mom,
I think you should tell her in person.
Did she say something?
No, I'm just voicing my opinion.
His mom must've said something.
Sure, I'll talk to her.
I need to confirm the venue reservation...
and finalize the design of our invitations.
We'll need to deliver them to our friends.
I'll take care of the invitations.
Once you're done, come by the law firm.
We'll head to the hotel together...
and discuss a few things.
Sure.
Are things not going well?
Yoon Jae's mother...
Well, I find her hard to please.
I learned that marriage isn't just about two people being in love.
When my friends got married,
I didn't understand...
why they got upset over the most frivolous things.
But they had their reasons.
I hope this doesn't scare you in any way though.
When you and Hyun Jae get married,
I'll be the one family member you can count on.
Let's check out the reception dresses.
Sure.
Why were you waiting out here?
You could've waited at the office.
Being out here will make you come out sooner.
Let's go.
Hyun Jae!
The two of you must be going somewhere together.
We're off to grab some lunch. Where are you off to?
Me too.
It's So Ra's day off, so we decided to eat together.
Yoon Jae's busy planning the wedding on his day off.
Have they settled on a date?
Yes, it's the last Saturday of this month.
That soon?
They're going at high speed now that things are in motion.
It's easier since Ms. Sim already has a place to live.
Yoon Jae's a lucky man.
What do you mean?
That he's getting married or that she has her own place?
The latter.
Sister-in-law.
What about that startled you?
It's just that "sister-in-law" sounded funny to my ears.
You find that entertaining?
I'll call you that all the time, then.
No, it's fine.
Anyway, when will you and Hyun Jae get married?
Sorry?
Here.
Here you go.
Stop making me a priority...
and eat up yourself.
I'm already eating.
You should always eat well.
That's what you always say to me.
Because seeing you eat well puts a smile on my face.
I want to be the only one...
who knows this side of you.
People only say that...
when they really like someone.
Didn't you already know?
Of course, I did.
Anyway, Sung Soo asked earlier...
about the possibility of marriage.
You looked shocked.
Was it something to be alarmed about?
It's not that.
I know a little bit about what marriage is, don't I?
And everything going on with my mom...
makes me wonder if my grandmother and aunt...
ever thought of my mom...
as a member of their family.
My mom...
sacrificed herself for this family and devoted her life to us.
But recent events taught me...
that none of it matters.
I finally get...
why my mom told me to take marriage seriously.
You don't have to walk me to my car.
I said it was fine. You should just head upstairs.
I'm going to see you off here.
You should head down first.
Where are you off to?
The office.
I haven't been able to work properly these days.
What if I can make the payment on my lease?
Let me know if that happens.
Sure. I will if it becomes a problem.
It's nice to have someone I can talk to about everything.
The doors are opening.
Right. I'll get going, then.
Sure.
The doors are closing.
Let's just stick to how it's always been.
The doors are closing.
- Just a second. - Sure.
(Jung Hoo)
Hey.
I have a job for you.
I wish to give a gift to another business owner.
Come by the office, then.
Sure.
He used to be a big baby,
but now he seems more like a young man.
Is that so?
Yes, you should've seen him defend my mom.
It surprised me, you know.
How has your younger brother been these days?
He seems to have matured,
but maybe an inspection is in order.
Watch it, will you?
(Someone has placed an order!)
"Gift package, random macaron set."
What kind of macarons should I put in the box?
Do we have another order?
Yes.
Anyway, the delivery guy will be here soon.
There.
We have another order. What is it this time?
A cookie and a granola bar.
- Which cookie? - The homemade butter cookie.
That has been flying off the shelves.
It must be delicious.
Anyway, homemade cookies make me think of Soo Jae.
Right?
- Right. - I've been wondering though.
Did you and Soo Jae have a romantic relationship?
You did.
We broke up.
No wonder.
It must've been hard on you.
It's the worst, you know.
Going from being a friend to a boyfriend, then breaking up.
You end up losing a friend and also someone you love.
No wonder you and Soo Jae...
have been careful about how you talked about each other.
I don't want you tangled up in my life anymore.
I have a debt to pay off,
and I must regain my family's trust.
You can't be a part of that process.
You deserve to be happy.
I can't watch you stew over my problems.
Is your work going well?
Hardly.
I picked the gift for you.
Thanks.
By the way, don't you offer anything to visitors here?
You know that's what you're supposed to do.
Do you want something to drink?
That's the basics.
Do you have any cookies or macarons prepared for visitors?
I buy them from time to time.
I've come to know a nice bakery that has the best macarons.
Do you want to know?
Tell me.
(Star Macarons)
Star Macarons?
I had an employee who wanted to become a patissier at work.
She moved to this place after she passed the baking test.
Really? Good for her.
I think you saw her before.
She took your order when you came with your boyfriend.
Sorry. I don't remember.
How could you not remember her? She really stands out.
I'll go see her tomorrow.
Then I'll tell you if she stands out or not.
Open up.
- Here. - Eat it?
What? You...
- Mother. - Hey. You're home.
Well... Mother.
I asked you to help the kids do their homework after school.
Hey, that's what I've been doing.
We were just taking a short break. Right?
Mom, I got a perfect score again.
- You did? - Really?
- My gosh. - Let me see.
Gosh, Ba Da.
Hey, why didn't you tell me earlier?
You should've told me first.
I wanted to show it to Mom first.
This is so nice.
Ba Da, I'm so proud of you.
A perfect score?
Gosh, that's amazing!
Did Ba Da get a perfect score in Math again?
Yes, she did.
I think she has the aptitude for math.
I'm so excited.
How could she get full marks in math, of all subjects?
That means she's really smart.
Okay. I'll be home early.
Gosh, this is crazy.
She got a perfect score in math.
Gosh, it's Yoon Jae.
- Yoon Jae, it's you. - Hey.
- Is Hae Jun in her office? - Yes.
Yoon Jae, you must be pressed for time...
before the wedding, right?
I guess so. I got some samples for the wedding invitations.
Oh, right.
Where did you get your wedding invitations?
I remember yours looked pretty nice.
My wedding invitation?
So Ra took care of it, so I don't know.
Yoon Jae, Ba Da got a perfect score in math again.
Good for you.
I didn't expect my children to do well at school.
But Ba Da gives me butterflies.
Once you get married, you should have kids right away.
Your life totally changes after you have a baby.
You know, my Ba Da got a perfect score!
I'm so happy.
Okay. Congratulations.
- You want something cool? - Sure.
Come in.
Hae Jun.
You said you were nearby. What took you so long?
Sung Soo kept talking to me on my way here.
- Why? - He said Ba Da got...
a perfect score in math.
He wanted to brag about it.
I've never seen him so happy.
Actually, I was also happy for him when I heard that.
Even when my dad was sick in bed,
he was happy to hear that I did well at school.
What about our wedding invitations?
I got some samples.
You can check them and pick one.
What time do we need to go to the hotel?
We should be there before six.
Well...
Before we go, we need to come up with some plans.
I was told to prepare some dowry gifts. What do I do?
Didn't you call my mom?
I will.
I think my mom was upset with me.
Because I always take your side.
- Did you take my side? - Yes.
All right.
I'll do something to please her.
Jung Ja, it's so nice to have you back again.
- Right, Kyung Chul? - Sure.
Did something happen the other day?
Nothing special. You know things can happen in life.
- I guess you're right. - Shall we begin?
- It begins now. - Okay.
All right.
Stretch your legs.
Thank you.
- This looks nice. - Thanks.
Please enjoy.
I know things always happen in life,
but I don't know why my heart pounds every time something good happens.
Did something good happen to make your heart pound?
My grandson is getting married.
Jung Ja, he's a dentist.
And his fiance is a lawyer.
I have a soft spot for doctors, lawyers, and professors.
You must be happy.
Jung Ja, you have to come, okay?
Sure. It's the wedding of Mr. Lee's grandson.
Thank you.
We don't have wedding invitations yet.
- I'll get you one once it's ready. - Okay.
- Mom. - Gosh.
- Hello. - Hello.
Your daughter is here to pick you up.
Kyung Chul, she's just lucky.
Lucky, my foot. Let's go.
Jung Ja, you should finish it before you leave.
Okay.
Please take your time.
Honey.
What are you doing here? Aren't you busy?
I have some time before the meeting, so I'm stopping by.
Why are you out here when you know they have visiting hours?
Just in case.
What if they call for a carer?
That shouldn't happen.
They call for a carer only when things are not good.
You're right.
Still, I want to stay here.
Hyun Jae! Ba Da got a perfect score in math again!
This is her second time!
Congratulations.
- Are you that happy? - Yes.
That means she's smart. You know I'm not like that.
My child finally grants my wish.
Ba Da is still in elementary school,
so as long as she has good study habits, she will do better.
You know the stuff because you excelled in school.
If you want to get married, do it as soon as possible.
And you should have children when you are young.
I need to get married first.
Does Mi Rae want to get married at all?
When I sounded her out earlier, she seemed flustered.
It's not what it looks like.
Is Mi Rae giving you a hard time?
She's nothing like that.
Are you going home?
No. I work my part-time job tonight. Why do you ask?
I'm going to my parents' house, so I was going to give you a ride.
Gosh.
Mom, I'm home.
What a surprise. What made you come home tonight?
Did you eat?
Of course, I did.
It's past dinner time.
So if I didn't eat, it would've just given you extra work.
You would have to cook again.
I didn't know you cared about things like that.
Mom, I do care about you a lot. So please...
I mean, there's not much time left for us to live together.
It's not like you're going to die.
You're such a mood killer.
I can't be nice to you because you're like this.
That darn brat.
What's wrong?
I don't know. I just don't like how things are going.
It's about time.
- Hello? - Mother.
Do you have time this weekend?
Let's go eat something delicious.
You don't have to eat with me. I know you're busy.
That's why I wanted to see you on the weekend.
Let's just enjoy a meal together.
I'll send you a text message with the place.
Okay.
- Is it Hae Jun? - Yes.
We need to talk about dowry gifts.
Yoon Jae says he doesn't need anything, but I should ask again.
I'm home.
Soo Jae just got home.
Do you know what he's been up to?
I know he's doing a cleaning job.
Seriously, this is so upsetting.
What's so bad about cleaning?
It's hard work.
Yoon Jae and Hyun Jae work indoors and are respected.
But Soo Jae...
His brothers don't care about him at all.
We'll live together soon anyway.
We need to be apart sometimes so we can yearn for each other.
I called your mother.
We'll meet for lunch this weekend.
You will? Thanks.
Yoon Jae.
I'll call you later.
Were you on the phone?
Was it Hae Jun?
You miss her already?
What is it?
Look out for Soo Jae.
Do you only care for your own happiness?
Don't you feel sorry for him?
Why would I feel sorry for him? He's way tougher than I am.
You and Hyun Jae did well in school and have good jobs.
Do you think you got there with your hard work?
Why are you likening Hyun Jae to me?
Because you're the same.
You're both mad about women and don't care about the family.
How am I mad about a woman? It's not like that.
Seriously.
Why did you come over without calling?
I came to see you, Mom.
You've been disgruntled lately.
Why is she venting her stress about Yoon Jae's marriage to me?
Act appropriately.
I am.
Are you upset with Hyun Jae too?
Father. I can't stand the way...
Yoon Jae and Hyun Jae are acting.
They think they're doing well through hard work of their own.
Think about Soo Jae.
They don't care at all about their little brother.
Do you know what he does nowadays?
What do you do?
- Do you know, Mom? - Yes.
Parents appreciate it the most when their kids get along.
You'll have families of your own when you get married.
You'll grow even further apart.
Your mom's like this...
because of Soo Jae.
What about me?
You used to be sweet and adorable, almost like a daughter.
You'd listen and comfort her.
But you don't talk to her anymore,
so she's going around attacking your brothers instead.
Is that it?
I had no idea.
Soo Jae, you were the peacekeeper.
I hate it when you talk like that too.
Look after Soo Jae.
You're making me look pitiful.
You already are, without me doing this.
Is it because I got into cleaning?
You got into cleaning?
Yes.
You don't like that I'm a cleaner,
but I like it.
How can you like that job?
I can work in silence,
and I get paid per job.
I have time to think too.
It's the perfect job for me right now.
When I was young, I was a manual laborer too.
If you do something physical, it actually clears your mind.
You're right. I feel that myself.
You two.
Be nice to Mom. You're both useless.
Goodness.
Soo Jae's back.
She's back. Our little sister's back.
- What? - My little sister.
Hands off.
What are you doing?
Are you making sikhye?
Yes.
Can you not make this?
Since you keep making this,
Mom got too used to it.
She talks like a spoiled, old-fashioned woman.
So many delicious things are available these days,
but she'll only drink what you make at home.
Are you picking on me over sikhye now too?
Are you trying to train my mom knowing she has a thing for food?
To make her miss you when you're away?
You're so creative. How did you think of that excuse?
I'm saying it for your sake.
Why do you torture yourself?
Don't treat my mom too well.
Just do the average. That's best.
I'll do what I want.
If you got what you wanted, lie low until you go home.
I don't yet have what I want.
I need Mom to sell her building.
Do you have to put it like that?
I'm not two-faced like you.
Look at you now.
Do you really want to make sikhye for Mom?
Quit pretending to be a good person.
You did terribly in school, but you're great at infuriating me.
You got plastic surgery,
and it's silly how you act like you were always pretty.
What? Surgery? I...
Hey.
You need to look decent if the surgery is to work at all.
Each time you got dumped before you were married,
you cried about wanting to die.
You managed to get married and live a decent life.
Hey...
How was that?
That was me not being two-faced.
I said what I thought.
If you say what you want and stab and claw at people,
can you laugh it all away as if nothing was said?
What?
Our friendship.
How do you think it remained intact?
"Will Jin Ju feel hurt if I say this?"
"Will saying this upset her?" I never actually spoke my mind.
Is that being two-faced?
You and your mom have a transparent relationship.
You say what you want and make up.
But you...
often got stressed out about how your mother hurt you.
You said you couldn't understand her sometimes,
and you vented at me.
The world you know isn't all there is.
Transparency doesn't mean it's right.
My mom and I...
Yes. Out of consideration for each other,
we left many things unsaid.
But in return, we hurt each other less.
My mom told me to be good to yours.
The burden of lying to your mom had weighed her down.
That's why I'm making sikhye.
It's not exactly for your mother.
I'm doing what my mom said.
You heard that?
Mom.
When will you sell your building?
Did I say that I would sell it?
You will one day.
Sell it sooner.
Is that building all you care about?
Look at Soo Jung.
She feels so attached to her mom, and they're not even related.
Gosh.
Did Hyun Jae drop by?
The family was whole again.
Yes.
Mom told me and Hyun Jae off for not looking after Soo Jae.
I only met that brother-in-law when your family met mine.
"Brother-in-law"?
Don't laugh.
Shall we invite Hyun Jae and Soo Jae to dinner?
Where?
At my place.
Where you will live soon.
Where we'll live together?
Welcome.
Hello.
Hey.
I know who you are now.
- We met, didn't we? - Yes.
You're Mr. Hyun's sister, right?
Yes.
Hello. I'm Na Yu Na.
I'm Hyun Mi Rae.
Jung Hoo said your macarons were good,
so I came to get some.
Thank you.
I want to leave some out for clients when they visit.
What would you recommend?
Vanilla and strawberry yogurt are our best sellers.
What do you like the most?
Strawberry yogurt is my favorite.
If you pack me an assortment,
I'll taste them and come back with a few picks.
Okay.
Mom.
Why did you come? Aren't you busy?
I should visit Grandma too.
I'll go in to see her this time.
Okay. You see her this time.
I'll wait and then go in at the next visiting hour.
After seeing Grandma then,
go home and rest.
I feel more comfortable here than going home to rest.
Do whatever makes you feel good.
Just know that I'm here for you.
Grandma Mi Young, it's Mi Rae.
Don't worry about Mom.
I'll take good care of her.
Come in.
- Hyun Jae. - Hey, Soo Jae.
Is this your first time at my new office?
- Yes. - I see.
Hae Jun left earlier, so we can go by ourselves.
Gosh, this looks good.
- We also have wine. - I'll go get it.
That must be them.
My brothers-in-law are here.
- Welcome. - Hey.
Hi. Soo Jae, welcome.
- Hi. - Come on in.
What about me, Hae Jun?
Stay out of it. Welcome.
- You shouldn't have. - Here.
Gosh, thank you so much. How sweet of him.
- I'm the one who bought it. - But I selected it.
I knew it.
Hey, Jung Hoo.
Mom, when will you be home?
I'll be heading home soon.
Sure.
Here's to another uneventful day.
Yes, doctor.
No, I'm still at the hospital.
Mom?
Mom, just a second. I still have something to say.
Mom, please.
Mom.
Mom?
Mom!
Mom...
Mom, can you hear me?
Mom, you can't leave me like this.
You should've at least let me say goodbye.
Mom, please don't go. Hear what I have to say.
Mom, I'm so sorry.
Mom, I'm sorry for speaking that way to you.
I said I owed you.
Would you have put it that way...
if I were your birth mother?
Yes, I would've.
You're the one...
who has never thought of me as more than your adoptive daughter.
You ungrateful brat!
Mom, I'm so sorry.
Mom, I loved being your daughter.
Thank you so much.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
Doctor, my mom...
Mom...
(It's Beautiful Now)
Why is she in black today? She looks like the Grim Reaper.
I need to be at a funeral today.
A funeral?
Shouldn't your old boss be here by now?
My grandmother passed away.
I'm outside Star Macarons. Aren't you open today?
- Soo Jung. - What is it?
Don't you want to find your biological parents?
You should search for your biological parents.
Has there been word from the National Forensic Service?
Congratulations, sir.
I took your advice and didn't attend the funeral.
I'm glad you didn't.
I'm sorry to say this,
but it might be better...
if your lawyer brother didn't attend the wedding.
This ordeal with my grandmother and aunt has enlightened me.
I finally understand...
why my mom was worried about me being swept away by you.
