- Hello. - Hello.
(3 years later)
(Enjoy your life. National tour.)
(Rising star Oh Dal Sook)
(Final Episode)
Well done, Director Cha.
- "Director"? - You didn't know?
As of today, you're Director of Overseas Operations.
You're in charge of all our overseas deals.
You're the one who starts things whenever you're abroad.
Including Malaysia,
you made us sign five MOUs already.
An MOU is just the beginning.
There's a long way to go until we have a solid partnership.
That's why I need your help.
I want to focus on product development.
I'm not sure if I can live up to your expectations.
Weren't you scheduled to return tomorrow?
I have a family event tomorrow, so I returned a day early.
Na Kyung.
I'm back.
- Welcome back. - Congratulations.
Thank you.
(Director Cha Jin Ok)
Hello.
Excuse me. Do you have yellow roses?
Welcome. Yellow roses?
Yes. For the master bedroom.
I'll get you our best ones. Just a moment, please.
How are you, Ha Na's Grandpa?
Ha Na...
Do you know Ha Na?
Of course I do.
I also know it's her birthday tomorrow.
The first birthday of the person you love the most, honey.
"Honey"?
(Cha Jin Ok, wife)
Now you remember?
I'm Cha Jin Ok.
Your loving wife and Ha Na's grandmother.
Where were you all this while?
I looked everywhere for you.
Did you?
I was on a business trip.
This trip took a while. Did you miss me?
Of course I did.
Ha Na walks now.
Let's go and see her.
- Ha Na. - Ha Na.
Welcome home.
- Ha Na. - How sweet.
Did you have fun?
Was it hard while I was away?
Not at all.
Father was so good with Ha Na,
it was easier on us.
- Welcome home, Mom. - Thanks.
Dad and Ha Na are the best of friends.
She means much more than I do to him.
Hello, Mother.
- Hello, Father. - Hi.
Hi, Il Lan.
You're here again?
Why do you keep coming by when you're in college now?
Come on, sister-in-law.
What? Why am I your sister-in-law?
Let her be. She means she likes Dae Young.
What?
Aren't you getting ahead of yourself when he's not interested?
That's why I'm hard at work.
Are Dae Young and Yi Ran upstairs?
She's helpless.
What's wrong with that?
I like cheerful girls like her.
Is it tough?
It was really tough up until yesterday.
Messing up the September mock test just ruined my self-esteem.
I regret trying for medical school...
three years in a row.
If you have time for that, solve another problem.
For my sake,
as I come to tutor you every weekend.
Dae Young, Il Lan's here.
Hi...
Hello.
Hi, hello.
Will you knock first? You startled us.
Why should I knock when you're just studying?
Hang on.
What's with this atmosphere?
Why is it so awkward?
Were you two...
talking about me?
Were you?
Yes. Sorry.
Nothing bad. I was just saying I'm jealous.
I should've just gone to any university I could have.
- Right, Dae Young? - That's right.
She told me you joined four societies.
That's it.
You silly thing.
If you have time to think about that, solve another problem.
What if you fail again?
How would Dae Young look?
I will get into medical school this year just to...
stop you from mocking me.
Hey. Why are you insistent on studying medicine?
Do you like staring at blood?
Is all this...
because of Dae Young?
What are you talking about? It's not.
October? Just a moment.
She's fully booked for October.
Yes. She has a concert then,
and a lot of other events.
The soonest you can book her is...
Let me see. December.
Okay then. Give me a call. Thank you.
Why am I so busy?
Hong Do, you might forget what Mom looks like.
Look at this, this is Mom.
- Mom. - No.
If you can't see the real person, look at a photo at least.
- Hong Do, look at... - Hong Do.
My dear baby.
Did you have fun with Dad?
- What's this? - Honey.
- Come to Mommy. - Well done.
It was nothing. When I think of Hong Do,
I suddenly get excited and energetic.
I never feel down.
She's really tough.
Where does her energy come from?
She's so talented. It's in her blood.
I keep saying we should hire another manager.
We should unearth more hidden gems.
We need to make more while we can.
Shall we?
Your brakes have failed again.
Excuse me. We just paid off our debts...
and started to make a profit.
Don't go too far.
I don't...
want to lose everything again for Hong Do's sake.
Okay, fine.
- My eldest son. - What are you looking at?
My goodness.
- Mom. - Dong Hyun.
I missed you so much.
How did you know I'd be back today?
I asked Mr. Go.
How was the show?
I wanted to meet you at the airport,
but I had exams until today. Sorry.
You must've studied so hard for it.
The SAT's less than 100 days away.
I'm sorry I'm not there for you.
Why apologize when I'm the one studying?
Was the show a success?
You bet it was. My looks kind of work abroad as well.
After the show,
I had a meeting with Jin Ok's team.
I did so well on this trip.
Congratulations.
Where's my present?
In my suitcase. Do you want it?
Just a moment. Hold this.
I put it in here.
Is it broken?
I need to remember it by tomorrow.
It's such a mystery.
Bok Nam and Ha Na share the same birthday.
Isn't that weird?
It's weird. That's why it's nice.
You're celebrating his 60th and her 1st together.
Oh, right.
I'll order the rice cakes.
Why would you do that?
For Hong Do's first birthday,
you made a huge rainbow rice cake.
Heo Se and I were so touched.
I made it every year for So Young and Dae Young's birthday.
I'll just do the same for Ha Na.
Why spend money?
You're celebrating at home instead of at a buffet...
because of Bok Nam.
I ordered enough for you to hand out...
to the neighbors.
Don't worry about the food either.
Are you going to cook?
How would she manage that?
Are you two mocking me right now?
I'm a good cook. You two know that.
We do, but how will you...
be able to cook for so many?
Are you going to hire a caterer?
It's not that.
It'll be much better than a hotel buffet.
Don't you worry.
What are those looks about?
Do you not trust me?
We don't.
What if you let us all down?
You won't be let down. I checked everything today.
This person can cook as well as Jin Ok.
So don't you two worry.
Okay, I won't, but you needn't spend money.
I'm not spending a cent.
The truth is, someone wants to do it so badly.
For free.
If it's for free, that someone is doing it for you, Mi Rae.
Is it Master Sagong?
It's not him.
He's in Chicago right now.
Chicago? That's where his parents live.
Are you two talking about marriage?
They brought it up because Bu In has their back,
but his parents aren't pleased.
I'd be surprised if they were.
She's divorced with a kid, and the age difference...
I expected as much,
but his mother's bedridden.
We haven't talked for a few days now.
Then what,
you don't even know if he's back?
Let's ask Bu In.
Don't bother.
You can't force a relationship to work.
Can't you tell after all these years?
You're right. Forcing it won't make it work any better.
My gosh.
Jin Ok.
Why do you keep calling me? I'm late.
This suitcase. I can't open it.
- What now? - I knew it.
Why did you use a combination when no one will steal it?
I was confident I could memorize it.
Then check your notebook.
The survival of the writer notebook you write everything in.
That's right. My notebook.
Here it is.
Let's see.
"The combination. The most special day."
"The most special day"?
What's that?
Wait. Is that it?
Why did you just write a hint?
You should've written the number.
What if a thief were to steal this?
My goodness.
Then think of your special days.
Your birthday, my birthday, and the kids' birthdays.
It'll be one of them.
That's right.
Let's see.
This is my birthday. August 2, lunar calendar.
That would be 802.
Let's see. 802.
No?
I'm off to the salon.
Dear Hong Do
Don't you cry
Your daddy's here with you
Oh, dear.
Dear Hong Do
My goodness.
What a song to sing to your kid.
I wondered why you picked that name for him.
There's nothing strange about it.
A red and delectable peach.
It suits his conception dream.
He's just the ideal son.
You listened to a lot of trot when you were pregnant.
Whenever he hears trot songs,
he stops crying and smiles right away.
You're making things up now.
I'm not.
He's full of the trot spirit.
- Come here. - Mom.
- Go to Mom. - He's so cute.
- Hey, hey. - How do I look?
Do I look pretty?
Dad, do I look sweet?
Should I tie up my hair?
You do look sweet.
Where are you going that you're wearing hanbok?
Isn't it obvious?
Are you dressing up for Ha Na's birthday?
No, for Father's 60th birthday.
So tell me if I look okay.
Will Mother and Father appreciate me?
Stop it.
Who's this "Mother and Father"?
Why would you wear hanbok when you aren't family?
Take it off.
I should wear hanbok for a party my in-laws are hosting.
So I look like the daughter-in-law.
Right, Hong Do?
- My gosh. - Aren't you cute?
There you go again.
Don't get carried away when he isn't interested.
Leave her alone.
That's to her crazy crush,
she got into Goyeon University.
Il Lan, I don't disapprove.
- I like Dae Young. - You're the best.
Dad, when you're at the party,
address them like they're in-laws.
Make things happen. Promise, okay?
What wouldn't I do if it were to make...
Dae Young my son-in-law?
I'll address Bok Nam and Jin Ok...
like they're my in-laws.
You're reaching the right conclusion the wrong way.
- Hey. - What?
What did you just say?
I was just being silly.
What?
I'm warning you.
Don't you try to steal Dae Young.
Is he yours that I must steal?
- He is, so back off. - Hey, girls.
- My gosh. - Girls.
Don't you two fight in front of Hong Do.
Shoot your air punch.
Air punch.
Once more. Air punch.
- Goodness. - Will you two grow up?
My gosh.
(Director Kang Joon Ho)
Dad.
I asked you to join me for lunch. Why are you so late?
Mom packed me lunch and I ate that.
- Which mom? - My stepmom.
Dad. Did you eat something?
You just had beer last night.
I don't have an appetite.
You're busy at school,
so I can't bother to eat.
Dad. Are you still waiting for Mom?
It's more like I'm just living.
You never know what'll happen.
- Dad. - What?
Mom won't come back to you.
Why? Did she say something?
Is she marrying Master Sagong?
No, it's not that.
It's just what I think.
We'll reach a conclusion soon,
but it's not over until it's over.
Mom says we should meet at Dae Young's.
Come with us.
- Which mom? - Both.
I'll come by after class.
You'll feel awkward if you go on your own.
Good boy.
Thanks for looking out for me.
Bye.
- See you later. - Bye.
Soo Mi, why do you look so disappointed?
Dong Hyun, why is it so hard to become a writer?
You failed again?
Instead of writing about my dad...
Who wrote about him?
- I did not. - You obviously did.
I could tell right away from the plot.
Was it that obvious?
You know a lot about pets.
Write about them.
There are lots of stories about animals.
Why didn't I think of that?
- Thanks, Dong Hyun. - Bye.
Where should I start?
I'll write about Genie, squashed to death by a singer.
That'll be a hit.
Okay.
Nice. Show more confidence.
Okay.
Hello.
Was it hard work?
Not at all. This shoot was a short one.
This is delicious.
Did you develop this?
Yes. We released it last week.
The customers love it.
It even helps you lose weight.
You might become rich soon.
Is Joon Ho doing okay?
Ask him yourself if you're curious.
I heard that you're avoiding him.
Why do that when you see Dong Hyun?
If you cross paths, so be it.
Talk about yourself.
When will you get married?
Marriage? Forget it.
It's hard to date at my age. I should just give up.
You should get changed. It's almost time.
Okay.
Eight.
Nine.
It's not that either.
What is it?
It's not our birthdays or wedding anniversary.
What day would Dad think is most special?
Oh, give me that.
Wait.
No luck.
I thought it was my class number.
He was so pleased when I got into medical school.
He was pleased when I went to nursing school too.
He was pleased when I got my black belt in taekwondo.
The day I entered a piano contest...
and won a prize, Dad was pleased.
As if.
They're such good memories.
Dad. What's in here anyway?
Just get it open.
Something really important is inside.
I'm really curious now.
What could be so important?
You'll be surprised when you find out.
Let's try putting in our phone numbers.
- Okay. - Try that.
- We're here. - Hello, the rice cakes are here.
- Welcome. - Hello.
Why did you order so much?
Gosh, thanks.
We had to order a lot.
We're celebrating two birthdays, a 60th and a first.
Where's the family?
In the bedroom.
They're solving their own Mission Impossible.
Mission what?
Don't you mind.
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
My goodness.
What did you put in there that's so precious?
Tell me, I'm your wife.
You'll find out when I open it.
I'm asking because you can't open it.
I won't leave this room until I open this.
Look right here.
"Open on 60th birthday."
"Open on 1st birthday of 1st grandchild."
That's what I wrote down.
There's no party without this.
What can we do when you forgot the combination?
Fine. There's one last option.
There is? What's that?
Break it. Break into the suitcase.
No way. You can't break this.
How dare you?
Get changed first.
The guests will come soon.
I said we can't celebrate without this.
If you change, I'll give it a go.
I know better than anyone what is special to you.
Okay.
Gosh.
I'm Seol Song Joo, the CEO of Daiani Catering.
I wish Kim Bok Nam...
and Baek Ha Na a very happy birthday.
I prepared as best I could, but I'm not sure you'll like it.
Thank you so much for all this, Song Joo.
Let me taste it.
Hey.
How is this so tender?
It melts in my mouth.
How did you make this?
There's this secret sauce that I developed.
It's made by...
The party will start soon.
Let's set this out first.
Okay.
I'll set the table.
You did so much. Sit and relax.
No. I brought all the plates too.
You go outside and act like a guest.
- Go on. - Hello.
That must be Joon Ho.
What now?
You're old-fashioned for a New Yorker.
You divorced him, but you aren't enemies.
"Long time no see."
Try saying that.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Mom.
Did you just arrive, Dong Hyun?
Yes. I saw your company car outside.
Are you doing the catering today?
You bet.
I cater most of Jangsa-gu's parties.
Hello.
What?
Hi, it's been a while.
Yes.
I'll let you two talk.
I'll go upstairs.
Hey, Dong Hyun. We can't talk...
How have you been?
You look great.
Do I? Good.
You've changed a lot.
I heard your business is doing well.
I guess it really is.
All the effort I put into you,
I put into my work now.
I should've done so sooner.
Then it might've been easier on you and Dong Hyun.
Why do all my ex-wives do better without me?
No. It's all my fault.
I said I'd be good to you, but I was selfish.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. If I look back, I see I was immature.
I was old but still a child inside.
It's a bit late, but I'm sorry.
Do you want them to reconcile?
It's not like it's up to me.
I just want them to get along.
Song Joo's not a bad person,
and she's good to Dong Hyun.
And he likes her.
Yes. After a storm comes a calm.
It might be better than seeing someone else.
You've changed a lot. You've grown up.
My gosh, and you haven't?
The fighter who never put up with injustice...
turned into a timid housewife...
who struggled with her in-laws.
You finally spread your wings.
And loud-voiced Oh Dal Sook...
is finally living her dream.
All three of us are doing really well, aren't we?
Aren't we doing much better...
than we dreamed of?
We are. I owe that all to you.
Whenever I was down, you held me up, so I didn't fall.
You cried harder than I did.
I got through it all because of you.
Thank you.
Me too. You two are my loves.
- I don't need a man. - You don't?
She still hasn't heard from Master Sagong?
I haven't.
He's usually straight-forward.
Yes, he's not the type to scheme or be sneaky.
That's why I liked him.
I guess...
his parents' objections made him feel...
too bad to call me.
I won't care about that now.
(Kim Bok Nam's 60th)
(Baek Ha Na's first)
Okay then.
I'd like to thank Cha Dalrae and their families...
for gracing us with their presence.
- We shall begin... - Wait.
I'm not too late, am I?
Gosh, Chang Ho.
Welcome.
When did you return from America?
Just now.
This is a gift my aunt told me to give you.
- Okay. - She's sorry she can't be here.
She'll fly in next month.
The gift tells me that...
Bu In's doing just fine wherever she is.
The look on your face tells me...
you got your family to let you marry Mi Rae.
Who said I'll get married again?
You don't have to mind me.
Thanks, Dong Hyun.
Let's catch up later. Sit over there.
- Okay. - Come over here.
Okay then.
I think that's everyone then.
Let's begin...
Mr. Kim Bok Nam's 60th...
and Baek Ha Na's first birthday celebrations.
First of all,
I'll let Ms. Cha Jin Ok say a word to represent the hosting family.
Thank you all so much for coming.
My husband Kim Bok Nam.
I'm so grateful that he's still...
so healthy and well.
Applause.
It's time to hear a word from the birthday boy,
Mr. Kim Bok Nam, the "blessed man".
Bok Nam!
Bok Nam.
Applause.
I'm told today is my 60th birthday.
My gosh.
Everything I accomplished so far,
I forgot.
The first thing I study when I wake up in the morning.
It's this.
I open this up...
and memorize my family's faces.
My gosh.
How can this happen?
Gosh.
It's unbelievable.
Now...
I can't even open this.
I'm...
My gosh.
Honey, I think I know the combination.
You do?
Open it then.
Jin Ok.
My goodness.
How did you open that?
I wondered what day he would think was most special.
It's the day we first met.
Oh, my gosh.
Bok Nam, you're so romantic.
What's in the suitcase anyway?
Here. For you.
My gosh!
Look.
That ring.
When he proposed to Jin Ok three years ago,
we got him that too.
Right.
Well done. It's beautiful.
You're so cute.
- She's so cute. - She's so quiet.
