(It's My Life)
(Episode 123)
Do you live near here?
It's quite close by.
What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?
I think I have an upset stomach.
You shouldn't have eaten it if it wasn't good.
Why did you eat it all up?
Are you worried about me?
That feels good.
You should take some digestive enzyme at least.
Is there a convenience store or a pharmacy nearby?
We need to go straight that way.
Mr. Ahn.
My gosh, it's been so long.
I guess you never know who you're going to run into, right?
Hello, what brings you to this neighborhood?
My girlfriend lives around here. I was on my way home...
after walking her home and saw you.
Everything's been well with you, right?
Are Mr. Han and his wife doing well too?
You're asking me about Man Seok and Yeon Sil?
You're heartless.
They could've been your parents-in-law.
By the way, is she your girlfriend?
No, she's my employee.
Well...
I intern at Mr. Ahn's company.
I have an upset stomach.
That's why he's walking me home.
All right, I see.
Jin Ah, hurry up and join us.
Let's finish the conversation from earlier.
Okay.
- Is Mother in her room? - Yes.
How's Woo Jin?
He whined a little because of the medicine but fell asleep.
All right, think about it.
This old man here and In Sook...
are happy together.
Mr. Heo and Ms. Yang,
who are a bit older than us, are lovey-dovey all the time.
And the two of you, Si Woo and Jin Ah,
are the perfect married couple.
What about Nam Jin?
Are we going to just watch him grow old all alone?
We should gather strength...
and make sure he can get married before the end of the year.
If it can get done like that,
there's no reason for me to be against it.
But do you think Nam Jin is even interested?
He's busy at the moment with his shopping mall business.
It doesn't seem like he's ready to accept someone new.
I agree. I think he still has feelings left...
for Seung Joo.
Why does it have to be so complicated?
That's why I'm saying we should give him a little push.
Gosh, let's do that.
Let's make it happen.
We can give up later if it's not really working.
All right.
Then all of us are in agreement.
What can we do to set them up and make them start dating?
How can we make sure she can come over often?
Shall I ask her to teach me English?
Because of my upcoming backpacking trip,
I'm worried about not speaking English at all.
What are you all doing here?
Oh, I was asking Mr. Heo if he could come...
and work as a chief legal officer even if it's just part-time.
I was asking how he thought of it.
That's right.
I just want to enjoy my quiet time, but he won't let me.
Let's discuss it again when I come back from the trip.
- Sure. Okay. - Okay.
I just want to rest.
Man Seok and Yeon Sil went to New York to see Seung Joo last year.
They said Seung Joo looked haggard.
She must've gone through a hard time.
She'll come back to Korea soon.
Do you want to see her?
I want to see her, but I shouldn't, right?
Someone is so excited about going on a trip to Europe,
when I'm just eating gukbap with soju every day.
Gosh. My life is so miserable. Darn.
The soup is so bland.
I miss Sun Ja's kimchi stew.
I feel empty inside...
and so lonely.
Oh, dear. I'm so lonely, Sun Ja.
Sun Ja.
Oh, goodness. Sun Ja.
Did you call me?
Pardon me? No, I didn't.
I was calling my Sun Ja.
My name is Park Sun Ja.
How did you know my name?
All women with the name Sun Ja are pretty.
You are so pretty,
so I knew your name was Sun Ja.
I'm flattered even if it's a joke.
Shall I give you more side dishes?
Gosh, no.
Your smile is better than food to enjoy with soju.
Why would I need more food?
Goodness, you. You're such a smooth talker.
- I'll bring you more side dishes. - Thanks.
Are you going to work with Woo Jin?
We're taking him to a daycare center starting today.
A daycare center?
Gosh. I can't believe you guys.
How can you leave such a young baby like him at a daycare center? No.
Come here, Woo Jin. Come here. All right.
Today, your Korean tutor will come,
and you have a creativity development class too.
Come here.
Please cancel those lessons.
I mean, Woo Jin won't take any of those lessons any longer.
What are you talking about?
Woo Jin likes to study just like his dad.
His teachers always compliment him.
I am his mom, Mother.
Si Woo and I will take care of everything...
regarding Woo Jin's education.
Right, Jin Ah. I fully understand how you feel.
However, you should know...
that Woo Jin is not a child of an ordinary family.
He's a child of the Hyunkang family.
Why is it so wrong of me to give him the best education as his grandma?
We're not saying that it's wrong. We're trying to say...
that you have a different parenting style...
from ours. That's all.
Si Woo and I want to raise Woo Jin in an open environment.
We'll wait until he learns Korean naturally too.
Woo Jin is only two years old, Mother.
Why do you have to put so much into his small brain?
My goodness. Let them...
raise their kid as they want.
Why would you waste your energy unnecessarily?
- See you later. - See you later.
See you.
I did it for Woo Jin. Why...
I think it's a good thing.
- Shall I make you lunch? - That'd be great.
Let's go.
My stomach is still upset.
Is your stomach still upset?
If so, you should've called in sick or taken a half day off.
If I took a half day off, I would only get to see you for a half day.
And if I called in sick, I wouldn't have seen you at all.
Here.
It's a very effective digestive enzyme.
I won't take this.
Why not?
It's the first gift you've ever given me.
I'll keep it as a family treasure.
Gosh. How can you make a joke now?
Just take the medicine.
Good morning.
- Hello. - Hello.
What's that? Ha Na, are you unwell?
Oh, that. She seems to have...
an upset stomach because of what she ate at our house yesterday.
What do you mean she ate at your house?
I can feel a romantic vibe.
It's not like that.
She stopped by because Mr. Lee asked her to bring him a document.
Hey, Jeong Joo.
You have the list of the clothing companies...
that applied for our shopping mall, right?
Yes, I do. I'll print it out for you.
Yun Hee, send me the sales report for last month...
via e-mail, please.
Yes, Mr. Koo.
Intern. Are you done...
checking the quantity of the products in the warehouse?
I'm halfway done. I'll finish it within today.
Finish it before lunch.
I need to move all the boxes before the contractors come.
- Okay? - Yes. I'll be on my way now.
All right.
Oh, Mr. Ahn, you know you have a meeting at 2pm, right?
I put the documents regarding the meeting on your desk.
- Thank you, Ha Na. - You're welcome.
(CEO Choi Si Woo)
- Si Woo. - You're here.
How did it go?
I enrolled him in a daycare center.
It seemed to have good facilities,
and all the teachers seemed nice.
Mom will be upset for a while.
If she says anything harsh, let it go in one ear and out the other.
Si Woo, how about we help her work again?
Work?
She worked her entire life.
Since a person like her had to quit her job all of a sudden,
where would she put her passion into?
You're right.
But I don't think she can work at Hyunkang.
How about Nam Jin's company?
Nam Jin's company?
I heard that Ms. Kim Ha Na is still an intern.
I think it would be great...
if she gets to know Ms. Kim while training her as an intern.
That's a good idea.
All right. I'm going to Nam Jin's company later to discuss business.
I'll talk to him then.
Jin Ah, you must have been stressed out a lot.
To be honest, I was really upset.
I couldn't even see Woo Jin so long when I went home after work.
Mother also took him to bed every night.
At least you're not letting her walk all over you like you used to.
I guess I'm fearless since I have a baby.
Does it bother you because I'm acting like a housewife?
No. I like you more every day.
Ms. Choi, you're so mean.
How can you stay at home all the time?
Don't just take care of Woo Jin.
Make some time to meet me too.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't step out of the house because of Woo Jin.
I'll go to your house this evening.
My house?
Wouldn't it be better to eat out?
No.
I want to get some rest at my family's home.
And I also want to complain about my in-laws.
What? Do you consider my house as your family's home?
Then am I like your elder brother?
All right. I'll let you vent to me all you want.
Okay.
Mr. Jang, you look so happy after hearing Ms. Choi's voice.
Do I look happy?
Is Ms. Choi doing well?
She doesn't have any problems with her memory now, right?
Of course. That's why she's able to do house chores...
and look after her grandson.
Does Ms. Choi look after Woo Jin?
We're dropping Woo Jin off at a daycare starting today.
Really?
That's why Ms. Choi has time today.
But why?
Isn't it better to have his grandmother look after him?
My twins love their grandparents more than me.
I don't think that's always the case.
What? Did something happen?
Are you and Ms. Choi not getting along these days?
Mr. Jang.
When are you planning to marry her?
Oh, what?
That's crazy. They're old enough to have grandkids. Getting married?
It's not like they met at some seniors' center.
What does age have to do with marriage?
Do me a favor. Don't run your mouth whenever you want, okay?
Gosh, you do all your tasks half-heartedly,
but you're so passionate whenever you talk about other people.
Try to work that passionately!
I'm stepping out to get coffee.
Hello.
- Yeon Ji. - I'm going to nap for 30 minutes.
All right.
Let me help. Here.
Oh, gosh.
Boss, I'm here.
Yeon Ji needs more sleep.
Gosh, because of our twins,
we stayed up all night again.
Okay, I'll be quiet.
By the way, I have to talk to you about something.
What is it?
I've enrolled in classes for college admission, and they start next week.
So I won't be able to work here anymore.
Boss. Boss?
- I'm sorry. - Boss.
They're surely meant to be together.
He heard me saying I can't work here anymore, right?
He should put up a posting soon to hire another part-timer.
(Genius)
- Hello. - Hi, welcome. Have a seat.
Ms. Kim, please bring us something to drink.
She's doing an inventory check at the warehouse.
I'll get you something to drink.
Welcome.
A big company like Hyunkang wants to join...
our Genius Shopping Mall?
You made an excellent decision.
Mr. Koo, please brief Mr. Choi on all the details.
Yes, sir.
- Thank you. - No problem.
We've reviewed Ms. Choi's proposal, and it's great.
We have a favor to ask though.
Because it's an expensive limited-edition item,
you must not go over the quantity specified.
That's right. Some companies go over the promised quantity...
when the item is sold on and offline.
If that happens, we'll have to end our partnership,
so please keep that in mind.
Sure, no problem.
Then we can sign the contract as soon as all the paperwork is ready.
- Okay. - Oh, right.
There's something I want to discuss with you.
What is it?
It's about Mom.
Can she work here?
At my company?
Well, she can be your business advisor.
She can also be in charge of training your interns.
Oh, my. That's good.
That's such a great idea.
If we can groom our interns into full-time employees quickly,
it'll be very helpful to us.
That's great.
Okay, I'll ask Mother.
My goodness.
It hasn't even been that long. You're back again? My gosh.
This time, Jin Ah asked me to come,
so don't be mean.
Jin Ah asked you to come?
I heard you're going to Europe.
She asked me to look after the house chores while you're away.
Right, her mother-in-law can't look after this huge house by herself.
Welcome back.
Gosh, it's hot.
Where's my grandson? Is he taking a nap?
Jin Ah is taking him to a daycare starting today.
Why? Her mother-in-law wouldn't look after Woo Jin?
My gosh, that's so mean.
She said she'd look after Woo Jin and told me not to worry...
Jin Ah is taking him...
to daycare because she doesn't like my educational methods.
I have to say, you were a little harsh on him.
He's still so young. Why make all the fuss about his education?
I'm stepping out.
Where are you going?
I need to vent, so I'm going to see my family.
Well, is she still not all there?
What do you mean?
She doesn't have a family. I heard both of her parents passed away.
- I guess she has someone. - What?
Oh, right. I'm so forgetful.
My gosh, I was supposed to call Ha Na...
to ask her to teach me English, but I totally forgot about it.
50.
Gosh, how come there's no number?
Hello, Kim Ha Na speaking.
Pardon? Who?
You're Mr. Ahn's mother, right?
Hello.
You want to learn English?
I can certainly teach you.
Yes, I'll come by after work.
Okay.
I'm out to take care of something.
You should've come here as soon as you arrived to see me.
What do you need to do?
I'll tell you about it when I get home later.
Yes, Jae Yun is here too.
See you later. Bye.
So what do you say? Do you like it?
Yes, this is great.
The decor turned out exactly how I wanted it to look.
The clothes you designed will arrive tonight.
You can display them tomorrow yourself.
I'm sorry I make you do so much work every single time.
At least you know.
I had to work at the office during the day,
and I worked on this at night while being remotely controlled by you.
It was so hard.
Come on. You can't even do this much for your friend?
You said you'd take care of everything and told me to trust you.
Don't beg for compliments now.
Don't think of it like that.
Just take me out for a nice dinner.
All right, I'll treat you to dinner.
By the way, are you really going to manage this shop yourself?
Yes. Having my own showroom...
has always been my dream.
Shall I say I've finally taken the first step towards my dream?
- I'm here. - Hey, Seon Gyu.
By the way, what did Seung Joo have to do as soon as she arrived?
I don't know.
And she was with that guy, Song Jae Yun?
Yes, it seemed so.
You said she borrowed some money from you, right?
Yes, she said she'd pay me back in three years with interest.
Are the two of them getting married?
If she's marrying Jae Yun, we'll be so happy for her.
Why would she keep it from us?
Hold on. Then is she back together with Mr. Ahn?
- What? - I think he's seeing someone.
- Seriously? - Yes.
I ran into him on my way home from my girlfriend's place.
He was locking arms with a woman at that late hour.
He said she's just an employee,
but my gut instinct told me that they're seeing each other.
I can't believe that.
I think Seung Joo is still hung up on him.
Why did she break up with him if she couldn't even move on?
He's very successful now.
I heard all brands are dying to make it into...
the shopping mall he's starting.
My gosh, San and Deul.
How have you been?
- How have you been? - My gosh!
Have you eaten? Did you drink this?
Here, my pumpkin.
- Mother. - Hey.
- Dad. - My gosh, guys.
Get some more sleep. Why did you wake up?
Yes, we'll look after the twins.
- Go in and get more sleep. - Yes, you should.
You must be exhausted.
Raising a child is always hard.
Absolutely.
This is the hardest stage for every parent.
Kids at their age make a mess while running around the house.
But once this stage passes, it'll get much easier.
Will it be, really?
I'm so afraid.
I'm worried if I can raise San and Deul well.
I'm also afraid I might get old so quickly...
while raising my children.
I didn't know that it would be this hard to raise a child.
Dad and Mom, I respect you.
I resented my mom so much.
She made me raise my brother because I'm the oldest child.
I said a lot of mean things to her because of that.
I feel so apologetic towards her.
She must have raised me like this.
But I didn't appreciate her.
There's a reason they say you understand your parents...
once you have a child.
Be good to your parents from now on.
Dae Sik, be good to her parents too.
They gave birth to our sweet Yeon Ji and raised her.
Yes, Mom.
Good. Oh, I forgot.
Here you go.
What is this?
It's the registration certificate of the building in Oepo.
I moved it to under your name, so manage it well.
Father.
Hey. We should clean the house.
- Dae Sik, vacuum the floor. - Okay.
We'll bathe the twins.
No. I'll vacuum the floor too. You two go in and get some sleep.
- No. You two get some rest. - No.
- That's okay. - Give him to me. I'll bathe him.
- I'll clean the house too. - We'll do it.
- That's okay. - Come here.
(Genius)
- Did it go well? - Yes.
The beauty shop wants to pay the down payment and finalize the deal.
We should send them the paperwork regarding their lease.
By the way, did Ha Na go somewhere?
Come to think of it, I haven't seen her for a while.
Could she have gone to a hospital because of her upset stomach?
Intern. Are you done...
checking the quantity of the products in the warehouse?
I'm halfway done. I'll finish it within today.
Ha Na!
Ha Na. Ha Na!
Ha Na.
Ha Na. Ha Na, wake up. Ha Na!
Ha Na.
Mr. Ahn.
Am I dreaming?
Are you all right?
(It's My Life)
Maybe not now, but when time passes,
you will eventually realize my feelings for you.
- What? - Why are you so surprised?
This is great. You two should get married.
There's a problem with the clothing company.
We'll discover an innovative designer's shop by ourselves.
We're best at doing foot work.
We haven't opened our store yet. Could you...
