(It's My Life)
(Episode 99)
Let's go.
Don't they look so lovely together?
Yes, totally.
The two of you came to this church together today...
to take solemn vows before the Lord...
that the two of you...
are now one.

Why aren't you eating?
I have no appetite.
Seung Joo...
returned the wedding gifts I had sent.
She probably wanted to show me that she absolutely can't accept me.
Well, how's Si Woo?
Is he still not back?
He's back.
But he keeps avoiding eye contact with me.
I cherished him with my life in the past 30 years.
He was my everything.
He'll need some time.
You two were very close, you know.
That's probably why it was more shocking for him.
Si Woo is still my everything,
but every time I think about Nam Jin,
I feel as if my heart is about to burst.
I want to do something for him,
but I'm worried about hurting Si Woo's feelings.
Don't complicate things for yourself.
Just think that you now have two sons.
Hey, Manager Lee.
Sorry, Senior Manager Lee.
What do you mean?
Si Woo got married?
Ms. Choi, wait!
Wait, you don't even know where it is.
If they're doing it at a church, it's got to be that church.
I'll drive you. You can't drive in this state.
How could Si Woo...
How could my Si Woo get married without telling me?
Calm down first, please.
All right, let's go. Come on, Ms. Choi.
Let's hurry.
How could they not take me? How mean.
So it was you?
Pardon me? What do you mean?
Did you tempt my innocent Seon Hui into going on a trip with you?
Who are you, mister?
This mister here is Seon Hui's father, you punk!
- You little punk. Stop right there! - Dad, Dad!
Stop right there!
Bow to the bride's mother.
My dear daughter, you look stunning.
If your father were alive,
he would've been so happy today.
Mom.
Okay.
Be happy.
Even if you have resentments, let them all go.
Resentments are bound to make people sick.
I guess Ms. Choi didn't come.
I guess so.
She raised him for 30 years.
Did she not come because he's not her biological son?
I think Mr. Choi didn't invite her.
Are you saying that they're holding their wedding without telling her?
Oh, dear. I feel bad for Ms. Choi.
Don't ruin the happy day. Keep your mouth shut.
Live happily with him, Jin Ah.
Be good to Si Woo.
And be good to your mother-in-law too.
It looks like she didn't come because she still doesn't like you.
You have no choice but to do your best to make her like you.
That's not the case.
Si Woo's mom couldn't be here because of work.
Si Woo's mom adores Jin Ah,
- so don't worry about her. - Okay.
I'll be a good wife and daughter-in-law, Mom.
Si Woo.
Please take good care of Jin Ah.
I'll do that. Please don't worry.
There isn't much money in here.
I'm sorry I couldn't even help you with the wedding expenses.
That's okay. I don't need it.
It's not a lot of money.
How much money could I have earned by trimming fish?
But still, I saved it to give you when you got married.
So use it when you need it.
What a waste.
It should be worth at least a few tens of thousands of dollars.
What are you talking about?
Oh, no. Did you cause trouble again by any chance?
Gosh. I didn't cause any trouble.
You just said it's worth at least a few tens of thousands of dollars.
I was talking about the wedding gift that Ms. Choi sent.
Seung Joo should have just accepted the gift.
Isn't it normal to receive that much from such a rich family?
If she had received such an expensive gift,
how much should we have spent on a gift for his family?
Oh, right. I didn't think about it.
If Seung Joo wants it,
I would come up with the money by any means.
But Seung Joo doesn't want it.
She keeps the gift, and we don't give his family any gifts.
My goodness. Then we'd be just like thieves.
It's better if we don't give and not receive any gifts.
That's true.
Anyway, I hope Seon Gyu will get married soon too.
I don't know why he doesn't have a girlfriend when he's handsome.
Many of the employees of Hyunkang will attend their wedding.
See if you can find a nice girl among them.
I should do that.
Man Seok, can't you buy Seon Gyu a new suit?
He doesn't need a new suit. Tell him to wear what he has.
All right. Gosh. You penny-pincher.
If Ms. Choi tries to win you over...
and convince you to accept her gift, firmly refuse it.
You know what I mean, right?
Of course, I know.
If I accept it, Seung Joo will get angry at me.
She finally started to open up her heart to me.
I don't want her to hate me again because of a pointless thing.
Great.
Excuse me. May I ask you something?
Was there a wedding here earlier today?
The groom is Choi Si Woo, and the bride is Jung Jin Ah.
Yes. The wedding ceremony ended.
Oh, gosh. Ms. Choi.
Si Woo...
came to this church...
when he was in middle school.
I said he should stop coming here.
Then Si Woo...
said something with a scary look on his face.
All right.
Since you're not happy about it, I won't go to church anymore.
However, do you know that I feel suffocated...
whenever you act like this?
That was...
the first and last time he rebelled against me.
However,
he got married here without letting me know.
What could that mean?
He abandoned me.
It means that he will never...
come back to me as my son.
I said I didn't want any wedding gifts.
I really want to give you at least a diamond jewelry set.
I'll be waiting here.
Seung Joo.
Well... This is for you.
My mother-in-law told me to give you this.
Who?
Me? What is this?
It's a gift certificate for a suit.
It's a bride's family's gift for the groom's family.
Why? You don't want it?
What are you saying? I love it.
Please go to the shop and get measured while we're here.
Okay. I'll do that.
Oh, goodness. Anyway, when you go home, she'll throw a fit.
Will you be okay?
No. I won't be okay.
Can't you let me sleep over at your place just for tonight?
No. Why does this man act weirder by the day?
You know that my liver got smaller...
because I donated part of it.
Maybe that's why I'm so scared of what will happen tonight.
You're a man. You shouldn't let things like that scare you.
Let's go in.
Gosh. Seriously. She has no sympathy.
You're working hard on a weekend.
You're all dressed up on a golden weekend.
I guess you went to a nice place.
- I went to a wedding. - A wedding?
Are you sure you didn't go on a date?
That's nonsense.
Make sure to lock the door.
You always act like a gentleman,
but you actually are a sly man.
What did you say?
What do you mean I'm sly?
You gave a middle-aged woman vain hope.
What else would you call that if you don't call it sly?
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
I know you're pretending you don't know.
It looks like my sweet, innocent Sun Ja fell for you...
because of your smooth talk.
But as long as I'm alive,
you can't be with her. Mark my words.
Did you have a drink during lunch?
You know you're not allowed to drink during work hours, right?
What did you just say? I didn't drink.
And don't try to seduce my sweet Sun Ja...
when you're not even going to marry her.
Remember that I warned you.
Jin Ah looked so pretty, right?
Mr. Choi looked great too.
It was beautiful.
Listen, Yeon Ji.
Can you stop throwing your shoes, handbag, and coat...
anywhere you like?
Did I do that?
I put them where they should be. Why are you nagging at me?
I organized them just now.
I've never told you before,
but I've been cleaning up after you...
every time you got home.
Dae Sik, are you a neat freak? Or are you a germophobe?
What? No, I'm not.
This is our home, so it'd be nice to keep it neat and tidy.
Okay, I'll keep things tidy from now on.
Gosh, I didn't know that you could be such a nuisance.
A nuisance? What do you mean?
Wouldn't you say you're the fussy nagging type?
Gosh, of course not.
Every time I see you,
my heart skips beats.
I can even act like a dead person if you want me to.
Then why are you being like this all of a sudden?
I don't want people to think that you, my pretty and lovely Yeon Ji,
are gross, messy,
and that you can't even tidy up after yourself.
I'm just worried, that's all.
I'm gross, messy, and I can't tidy up after myself?
- Okay, I'll be careful from now on. - All right.
Was that wrong?
I've really wanted to come here again with you.
Actually, I came here by myself a few times.
- You didn't know, right? - You did?
I came here from time to time after we broke up.
We have many fond memories of this place. We took pictures too.
I'm sorry.
We can't go on a honeymoon,
and we had a small, humble wedding.
I know how stressful it's been for you,
stuck between me and my mom.
I'm sorry about everything.
By the way,
what made you suddenly decide to get married without telling Mother?
I just felt...
that it was wrong.
If my mom had been sitting in the church for our ceremony,
my deceased aunt...
I mean,
my deceased...
mother...
would've been so sad.
I don't want to go home.
Still, we should go home.
It's something we have to deal with, sooner or later.
Seriously?
Mr. Ahn's mother bought you a suit?
Yes, I was so touched.
I was sad because Man Seok the tightwad refused to buy you one.
That's great.
I said no because I knew this was going to happen.
Did you not think Mr. Ahn would take care of those things?
He'd obviously buy a new suit, shoes, and even a tie for Seon Gyu.
Aren't I right, Seung Joo?
What's going on? Are you waiting for his call?
He dropped you off just a few minutes ago.
No, it's not that.
Things are about to get really tense at his place.
What do you mean?
Si Woo got married today without telling Ms. Choi.
What did you just say?
Knowing Ms. Choi, she'll take it out...
on everyone in the house.
I'm so worried about Nam Jin.
Oh, right. What did you decide on for your wedding gift?
We just got something simple.
You're marrying a corporate heir.
Shouldn't you get something with diamonds?
It's not like I can eat diamonds. What's the use?
Man Seok, did you starve Seung Joo when she was little?
Why does she always talk about food?
I know, right?
Goodness.
When did you get home, Ms. Choi?
Have you had dinner yet?
Ms. Yang and Ms. Heo.
Are you two coming from Si Woo's wedding?
Even if Si Woo had asked you to keep it from me,
you should've told me about it, Ms. Heo.
You too, Ms. Yang.
Don't you think you should've at least given me a heads-up?
- You see... - We couldn't take...
the liberty of telling you, knowing Si Woo didn't want you to find out.
In any case, we're sorry.
Just because...
you raised Nam Jin for the past 30 years,
you think you can act like you're his mom.
And now, you're even acting like the lady of the house?
Ms. Choi, please.
You're out of line.
You said you were moving back to Oepo. Was that just a show?
I was actually going to move back,
- but Nam Jin... - Ms. Choi.
Why are you putting up with this nonsense?
Go to your room.
I'm okay, Nam Jin.
I'm okay.
I'll take her to her room. Let's go, Ms. Yang.
Now, I know...
why Mom insisted on moving back to Oepo out of the blue.
I'll move out with my mom.
Nam Jin.
If things will continue to be this stressful,
it'll be better for us to move out.
After all, isn't that what you want?
If you were going to be like this,
you should've just let me die.
You should've let me rot in jail for the rest of my life.
You weren't going to forgive me anyway.
No matter how hard I tried,
you weren't going to acknowledge my effort.
I know very well that you're shocked and hurt.
But that doesn't mean you can mistreat others.
Do you think people who were at the wedding felt at ease?
How could she say things like that to you?
And why is she taking it out on you?
Everyone was invited to her son's wedding except her,
so I understand why she's angry.
I'm going to...
just let it go and not take it to heart.
Mom.
Are you okay, Mom?
Don't worry.
I was known as a tough cookie back in Oepo, you know.
Everyone called me "Tough Cookie Sun Ja".
How about we move out if all of this is too stressful for you?
Personally, I'd like that.
Gosh, you can't move out.
What will Si Woo and Jin Ah do, then?
Also, think about how I'll feel.
She's right, Nam Jin.
We're a family, so we should help each other out and live together.
Don't you remember?
When you were about 7 or 8,
our dog gave birth to six puppies.
One of them was very fussy,
and it gave other puppies such a hard time.
Yes, I remember. That's why we named it "Bomb".
That's why we always fed Bomb first.
We cherished that puppy,
paid more attention to it,
and even called its name more often. Then what happened?
Whenever it saw us, it melted our hearts by doing so many cute things.
My gosh, really?
We gave up all other puppies for adoption,
but we kept Bomb until it died.
Then do you think the bomb in our house will also change...
if we pay attention to it and cherish it?
I'm going to try.
I'm going to cherish Geum Soon and see what happens.
Why are you being like this?
How could you do this to me?
You can't drink. Let this go.
I don't care!
Living like this isn't any better than dying!
Must you make me see you acting this pathetic?
Mother, I'll take this...
At least you should have told me.
You should have told me even if Si Woo asked you not to!
Jin Ah.
Jin Ah, are you all right?
I'm fine. My belly feels a bit tight.
Are you planning to cause our baby to die too?
Just like 30 years ago...
when you tried to get rid of me?
(It's My Life)
What are you anxious about?
Just like the calm before the storm...
I can't help feeling uneasy...
because I feel like she'll interfere with our happiness.
If you hadn't used me to get your revenge,
it would be much easier for me to forgive you.
It was you. You talked my naive son, Nam Jin,
into kicking me out of this house!
Ms. Choi, please don't do this. Let her go and talk it out.
