You...
What? You're at the clinic?
You...
Oh dear.
Didn't that hurt? Let's go home...
and put ice on it.
Joon Ho.
Hey. How dare you slap me?
The guitar guy's business failed, and you need an excuse to...
Are you actually crying?
Who's crying?
I must've gotten out of bed on the wrong side today.
You're letting me see you cry?
Hey. What is going on here?
It's none of your business.
You slapped me and cried, and it's none of my business?
Don't get any ideas.
I suddenly missed my mom.
Why did you suddenly miss your mom?
Go back to Alex's mom.
Be honest.
- Do you still have feelings for me? - Feelings for you?
I had none for you as your wife. Why would I have it now?
The guitar guy has nothing.
You're not someone...
who can live off romance and memories.
I won't ask again.
It's your last chance.
Don't you...
want me back?
Why are you doing this?
Is it because you can't give up,
and you're not over me?
Yes, I...
I have feelings for you, and if you agree...
Joon Ho.
You shouldn't say that...
when another woman's waiting for you.
I wouldn't say this if you weren't crying.
Mister.
A woman's tears aren't as simple as you think. They're complicated.
That's why I hate myself for crying.
Let's turn your complicated feelings inside-out!
How can I when I don't know how I feel?
Who knows how you feel if you don't?
No one does, not even the Creator.
That's a woman.
So what is it.
- Does she have feelings... - She has feelings for you?
I thought so before that Korean women are just absurd.
This would never happen in New York.
How could she hit you in public?
Let's put ice on your cheek.
Look, it's still red.
Why are women so complicated?
We can be complicated, but that depends on the person.
I kind of understand how your ex-wife feels.
You do?
She doesn't want you, but can't let anyone else have you.
That's it.
No. It's not that simple.
Then what is it?
Song Joo. I'll take you home.
You said you'd show me your place.
Dong Hyun's home.
We're bound to meet anyway.
Let's meet him officially during daytime.
Let's go.
Do you feel better now?
Yes, a bit.
Your insides were shocked by the onslaught of nutrients.
If you feel better now, do you want more eel extract?
Eel extract isn't just good for male virility.
You feel dejected...
since the failed election.
Eel extract is the condensed energy from the squirming eels.
What you had is unlike others...
What's the matter?
The eel must've worked a treat.
Stop it.
Will you stop talking about eels?
Come on.
You want to throw up whenever I say eel?
I told you to stop saying that word.
Gosh, save me.
Earlier on, he let it all out the bottom end.
Now it must be coming back up.
Darn this mess.
I spent a fortune, and it was no good.
Poor me.
(Episode 16)
Oh dear.
I thought it was the soccer disaster, but it's not.
Then I thought it was my prostate, but it's not.
I just ate all sorts of things that are good for me.
Why won't it work?
What's wrong with me?
I promised my constituents and I can't give up now.
I love you, Mom.
You look best on stage.
You got divorced recently?
You need to settle down for your singing to settle.
I'll drive you there...
and we'll come right back after the memorial rites.
How can I travel when I can't even get up?
Your mother doesn't like me,
and I don't get along with your sister either.
I really hate the awkwardness.
Will my presence change anything?
Take the kids...
and tell my family I was sick all night.
Let's go, Mom.
Let's not arrive during the rites...
and get told off like last year.
I'll stay and look after Dad.
Take Yi Ran, Mom. You're late.
You're so peculiar.
Others can't get enough eel extract...
Stop it.
Stop talking about eels.
You're sick because you had eel?
Grilled eel's tasty.
It wasn't grilled. I boiled him some extract...
- Stop. - Hey.
- Dad. - Gosh.
Dad.
- Dad. - Dad.
Il Lan.
Don't even mention eels in front of your dad.
- Why not? - The dead eels...
have been turning your dad's stomach inside-out all night.
And don't mention eel to me either.
- Why not? - The scumbag.
It got my hopes up, and now they're flushed down the drain.
Your mom is very sad.
Why would you feel sad over eels?
Kids don't need to know. Let's go.
Okay.
Stay safe, Mom, Yi Ran.
Bye.
- See you. - Bye.
- Watch out for other cars. - Oh dear.
Even foals that leave home come back.
Why are you taking that off?
What won't kill me comes off.
You're to keep it on until Sunday.
Should I face my ancestors with a bandaged foot?
Will you do as the doctor says?
You must take inflammation seriously at your age.
You might become disabled if it festers.
Don't talk nonsense.
Why talk about what hasn't happened yet?
Fine. Live however you want.
I don't want to interfere and I won't anymore.
The table's ready. Offer the wine.
For my mother and father's sake...
I'll let her off today.
Father, mother, the room's empty, isn't it?
I know. It's because your heir's missing.
His mom doesn't even know where he is.
I worked all my life to send him to medical school...
and he...
Dad, will you stop?
After all we did to get him in, he just gave it up...
and left for Africa.
Dad. Clean the table and eat.
Don't drink too much on an empty stomach.
Father.
I'm sorry.
Apparently, this is all my fault.
Mother. What did I do wrong?
I just don't know what I did wrong.
Dad, will you stop? You'll get drunk.
Mother.
I pushed him a bit so he'd do better.
He should thank me for getting him into medical school.
The nasty ungrateful kid.
Look, Dad, you're drunk already. Stop it.
Dad, Mom.
How's the food today?
Good, isn't it?
I didn't order it as usual.
The lady yesterday cooked everything.
Her name is Kim So Young.
She said that...
she'll set a proper table next year.
What shall I do, Mom?
I'm so grateful that she likes me.
So I feel sorry and a lot of pressure too.
She's young, but she's very sweet.
She makes me feel young and innocent.
So Young...
doesn't know that...
I like her more than she likes me.
You're going out too?
- I'm going to work. - To the fast food place?
They open on Chuseok?
What about Dad?
He can't go out with a sore foot.
Where are you going?
On a date.
- He's much older? - How do you...
The twin brats. I paid them to keep quiet.
It's your fault for trusting them.
- You even held hands? - We did not.
Hang on. Why am I getting upset?
What's wrong with holding hands.
I don't care if he's older or younger.
I'm open to you dating a lot of different guys.
Just don't go any further with him.
- Why not? - "Why not?"
Why go further when you won't marry him?
I will...
marry him.
I'll marry him.
He's much older, and he's up for it?
I haven't brought it up yet.
Is he more than five years older?
- Yes. - More than 10 years older?
Yes.
Then don't mention it.
Why not?
The answer is very long. I can't finish it standing up.
I'll explain later. Just don't go any further with him.
Welcome.
- A super meal. - Okay.
- Enjoy your food. - Thanks.
Welcome.
Your rites are over?
Yes.
I bet they enjoyed the meal, thanks to you.
Do you think they really had it?
We prepared it for them, so we'll just think they did.
- Tea? - Yes.
Did you tell your parents about me?
Yes, I did.
I told them you cooked everything, so they should enjoy it.
You told your parents about me.
Now you meet my parents.
What?
An official introduction.
- What? - I should meet them,
but it's obvious how your parents will feel.
Are you afraid they'll balk at your age?
Of course they will.
You look young for your age so don't give it away.
Or shall we lower it a bit?
So Young. Let's be honest.
They'll feel betrayed when they find out the truth.
That's true.
Then let's just go for it.
Did you mention me?
Yes.
They know you're much older because of the twins.
You said you paid them to keep quiet.
It was my fault for trusting them.
It's for the best.
Now they know you're older,
a lot of the pressure's gone.
Our age gap isn't a small one.
I don't care. Let's just do it.
Are we going to get married?
Are we just flirting then?
If we are, why bother even meeting my parents?
We had never seriously talked about marriage.
Do you have to talk about it?
You just marry the person you can't do without.
I think I'll die without you. But you don't, do you?
That doesn't matter.
I'll make you say you can't live without me one day.
What's this noise?
Hey.
I can't rest with all this noise.
You were quiet for a while. Are you at it again?
My goodness.
Dad, I think this is the career for me.
You like this that much?
Yes. I want to dance all day.
Your mom might end up breaking one of your legs.
Be careful.
Do you not mind eel anymore?
I forgot. I'm not to mention any eels around you.
- Tak Il Lan! - Sorry.
Where are you going?
To get some air. I've been in bed for too long.
- I'm going out. - Okay.
- Take care, Dad. - See you.
How lovely.
Director Kang.
You're open on Chuseok?
Why are you here?
Dogs have no holiday. Sit.
That's right. Dogs have no holiday.
Why didn't you visit your parents?
I was sick in bed all morning...
and came out for some air.
Those two seem to be very close.
Male and female?
Yes. The owners want them to mate.
It's really fascinating.
Just yesterday, they didn't care for each other.
Really?
What do you do in that situation?
There's artificial insemination and forced breeding,
but the owners want it to be natural.
I did all I could.
I used pheromones and showed them videos.
Videos.
Do you mean porno videos?
Yes.
Dogs watch that too?
Of course. They have a sex life too.
I gave them a pill while they were watching,
and they got close.
They did?
There's a pill for dogs for that too?
It's not a separate pill.
Physiologically speaking, dogs and humans are similar.
Apart from a few medicines for parasites and things,
we can give them a smaller dose of human medicine.
Anti-diarrhea medicine,
painkillers, diuretic, and everything.
Even when the male can't get it up?
It's very rare for dogs,
but there's talk that...
without that medicine, pandas would be extinct by now.
Really?
Does that pill really work?
How are you managing?
Are you getting treated?
The doctor said it's psychogenic...
and suggested I see a psychiatrist.
Really?
There are clinics for married couples too.
Why don't you check those out?
You can fix anything these days.
We're taking measures in stages,
but nothing's working yet.
What stage are you at now?
I'm about to try stage four.
I heard that Dong Hyun's giving you a hard time.
Will you stay apart?
I tried hard to get back together with Mi Rae.
She doesn't have any feelings left for me.
- I'll just give up. - What then?
I can't raise Dong Hyun on my own.
Will you marry that woman?
I think that's a possibility.
Hello.
You have a visitor. Shall I come later?
No, he's a close friend.
- A district council member. - I see. How are you?
I'm fine, thanks. Nice to meet you.
I should go.
- Already? - I should go.
Goodbye then.
Take care. See you.
You haven't eaten, right?
And all the restaurants are closed.
Why did you bring food?
I just cooked a few things.
You cooked all this yourself?
Do you think I bought it like someone else?
Let's see.
It's delicious.
I'm starving.
How could you, Dad?
You ordered just one?
It's good. Where did you buy this?
Order breakfast from this place too.
Don't just eat bread and cereal.
This one...
You're out here all on your own?
Ms. Yang. The manager gave you the day off.
Can I rest leaving the store in your hands?
You're the best.
That goes up there.
- Here? - Yes.
She's treating me like I'm old and useless.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
KG Supermarket.
The reopening is finally showing some results.
It is.
If things stay like this, our supermarket might just survive.
That's all due to your hard work.
You'd better tell Mr. Kim that, okay?
I already did.
He was so pleased to hear that.
I told him to stay at home,
but he wanted to come over. He's on his way.
He can be quite stubborn.
That determination got him where he is now.
I guess that's true.
What is it?
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Check what's left on the shelves.
- Okay. - Okay.
Get out of here! We're closed!
What are you doing?
- Are you the manager? - He's on his way.
What's going on?
You haven't heard? The store's closing.
What is he saying?
It's the head office's call, so cooperate.
The store's closed!
Who says it's closed?
Which scumbag made the decision?
Are you the manager?
Talk to someone at the head office.
If you want to close a store, send someone to check it first.
We did all sorts of things to make a dollar or two more,
and I even got hurt.
And you're closing us down?
Complaining to us won't help.
- Step aside. - Kill me first.
You can't take another step unless you kill me.
We have no time.
We have to close another store after this.
Get out of my way.
- Don't do this. - You can't do this.
- Don't push. - Let's talk this out.
Push them, Manager Park.
What are you doing?
- Don't do this! - Let us in.
- Darn you people. - Go away.
- Please stop. - Get out of here.
If you keep doing this, we have to close you down by force.
Let's see you do that.
Fine. Stay here all night if you want.
Why not?
Go away.
- Lower the shutter. - Okay.
- What are you doing? - Wait, we...
Wait.
What...
- Manager. - Manager.
- This is bad. - What now?
Manager.
- Do something. - This isn't good.
- What now? - You cowards.
I'll take that.
I thought it would be quiet on holidays.
- It's quite busy. - Isn't it?
People who don't visit relatives,
single people, and students.
They come here on holidays.
They really do.
People sick of holiday food come here too.
You seem to be getting used to things. How is it?
Now that I'm used to it, it's just like housework.
Is it? This is why I'm asking.
I'd like to hire you full-time.
Full-time?
Yes, a permanent employee.
You'll work from 8am to 5pm.
Coming in by 8am...
I don't think I can do that. I have to prepare breakfast.
If you work full-time,
you get a salary and benefits, so think about it.
It's hard to find someone as responsible as you.
Okay. I'll think about it.
Good.
Hello?
Why are you so hard to reach?
What do you want?
What are you doing out and about?
You don't even care what your husband's doing or eating.
The whole kitchen's full of food leftover from the rites.
Can't you feed yourself?
I never fed myself.
You always served me food.
You'd better fend for yourself from now on.
What?
What are you up to that got you so haughty?
Will you keep on complaining?
- I'll hang up. - Hang up if you can.
Hello? Hello?
Hey.
She really hung up.
Call her back right now.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message.
What now?
We need to get out.
She'll call. Wait and see.
Manager Park, bring a soju.
Sure.
What if she doesn't call?
I'll call my daughter...
or the security company. Don't worry.
I don't think your wife will call.
She's been acting out recently, but she's not like that.
She'll call. Wait and see.
How dare she hang up on me?
I can't believe the head office did this.
How could they close the store without even telling us?
It's not like we do chores for them.
When they demoted me to this place,
they got rid of my desk.
Your desk wasn't there when you went in?
That must've been a sight.
Here.
Here you go.
I fired him too.
I fired him and...
they fired me the next day.
They used me and got rid of me.
Here.
- Let's drink. - Okay.
I think people are becoming hardhearted.
The whole country's in uproar.
I wish we could quiet down.
I bet Koreans are one of the most stressed-out people.
That's very true.
Just get rid of a few thugs from the top,
then our country would do well.
Korea's a great country.
Compared to our size,
we have a lot of influence.
I guess so.
I don't think your wife will call, sir.
(Jeil Hospital)
(Dad)
Hello?
Yes. Nurse Kim went to the Emergency Room.
Okay. Sure.
Hello?
Security?
Do you know what situation I was in when I called?
I was locked up in the supermarket.
You were locked up? Why?
You make pointless things and waste time outside.
No wonder you don't know what your husband's up to.
I waste time? How can you say that?
Why did you hang up on me?
You told me to.
So you just did?
Then you should've called me back.
What got into you?
Why do you do what you want?
I'm not doing what I want. I want to be free.
I looked after you and the kids enough.
Is that why you sent Dae Young away?
He's grown up. Let him do what he wants.
"Let him do what he wants"?
Would you say that if you were his real mother?
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
I lost my part on the musical.
There is something you can do, but you won't be able to do it.
How could you watch that...
and fall asleep like that?
You might reach enlightenment one day.
