"Let him do what he wants"?
Would you say that if you were...
his real mother?
"Let him do what he wants"?
Would you say that if he were yours?
He's in Africa and you don't know if he's alive or dead.
You're making things like this...
and out wasting time.
Do you call yourself a mom?
He's my son!
Dae Young's my son. He is mine!
How can you say that to me?
I raised him so carefully,
so gingerly in case you said that.
He isn't my son?
How can you say that of all things to me?
Do you call yourself a husband?
You're not my husband!
You hit me!
Why are you so fearless these days?
That's why Dae Young does as he wants.
You are no father.
Even if you are angry,
you touched upon a topic you should never have.
I wasn't going to mention it until I died.
I was going to take it to my grave. How could a father...
No one else heard me.
I heard you.
I heard you say he's not my son.
Who would be more shocked and hurt than me?
Never once did I think that...
Dae Young was not mine.
The whole world knows...
I raised him the best I could.
I see that you're the only one who doesn't.
However you feel about him, the end result isn't ideal.
A future doctor...
was left to do as he wants, and this is what happened.
I've had enough.
I've had enough of you.
What do you mean?
Do you want a divorce?
Yes, I do.
You have no right or honor to ask me to stay.
I raised Dae Young well...
and your mother suffered with dementia...
for exactly 10 years.
You said you'd never send her to a care home,
so I cared for her while she pulled my hair out.
When I had to...
wipe the feces from the walls,
what did you do?
Will you stop? I got the message!
I can get over the fact that...
you spent a night with another woman.
But...
that you loved her?
I will never, never forgive you for that.
The pain,
the scars that I was left with...
My heart ached so much that...
I took a painkiller every now and then.
But...
strangely enough, they worked.
I said stop!
Now, I want to live my own life.
This was why you said...
it would be the last memorial rite you'd prepare?
That's right.
Do you know why I hesitated?
Because of Dae Young and So Young.
But now I want to end it with you.
Dae Young's away from home and So Young needs to get married.
What do you want?
I married you at Dae Young's age.
They aren't young.
Do you not care that...
Dae Young won't have a mom when he's back?
When he quit school,
he wondered whether he should live or die.
And you want to get divorced and leave home while he's away?
What if he were yours?
If he were mine, I'd have left you long ago.
Dae Young will need a mom when he's back,
so I'll stay in this house until then.
But our life as a married couple is over this very day.
I don't want to spend my life looking after you.
No!
Says who?
We vowed to live together until old age.
Keep that vow.
Shall we tell the kids about your past...
and then end it for good?
What?
From today, don't ask me for food.
Bok Nam went...
where he shouldn't have gone.
Why is he so foolish?
He ruined his own life.
Well done. You did well.
We know what you put up with.
You have the right to be happy.
Don't worry about anything.
I'll help and support you.
This sounds a bit unfair.
You never said that when I got divorced.
Not every divorce is the same.
There are different levels of divorce.
There are dogfights where the couple bite each other,
mudslinging battles that get dirty,
happy ones with celebrations,
independence movements where one wants to be free,
the sacrificial kind where one gets walked all over.
You're judged based on the story and reason.
I get that this is Jin Ok's independence movement.
What was I?
You were a combination.
You had fun but you wanted more fun,
so you had fun and ended up slinging mud.
Even so, you can't discriminate between friends.
Of course I should discriminate.
How can one fighting for freedom...
be the same as a mudslinger?
Jin Ok's the one who needs consoling tonight.
Let's focus on her.
I'm done now.
I feel better now that I'm with you two.
So you'll stay in that house only until...
Dae Young returns?
She should.
She should be there when he's back.
He'd be so confused if his mom were gone.
That's a divorce in word only.
She won't do anything for Bok Nam.
She made that clear.
They basically live together but they actually don't.
Do you get that?
Do you think Jin Ok will be able to do that?
I worry too, especially with So Young around.
The fast food chain offered me a full-time position.
That means I start work at 8am.
It doesn't matter now. I think I'll accept the offer.
You're a full-time employee already?
That's great.
Mi Rae, put away these cookies. Don't you have beer?
We should celebrate with beer.
I quit drinking.
You quit drinking?
A dog would quit pooping faster.
Are you sick?
It's bad if someone changes so suddenly.
There's something wrong, right?
You haven't been your usual self all evening.
Did you notice that through your tears?
The old Mi Rae...
would've clapped and cheered about my decision to divorce.
"Stupid Bok Nam has to experience torture living alone..."
"to learn about Jin Ok's value."
That's what Mi Rae would've said.
That's right. That's very true.
What's going on?
I lost...
my part on the musical for having a poor voice.
I knew it.
How can you sing if you're drinking every day?
I'm glad you quit.
Work on your voice until you get another role.
Why is there nothing fun to do?
Shall we go and beat up Baek Ho again?
Are you not getting anywhere with Heo Se yet?
From cordyceps to yagwanmun,
I got him every herb and medicine that's said to invigorate a man.
There's zero effect.
I realized something this time.
You can buy love with money but not male virility.
That's something you fix, not buy.
This would work on me, wouldn't it?
Now that I took a pill,
I'll look at some racy videos.
Why is the house so quiet?
Is everyone asleep already?
Why quit when you can drink less?
Jin Ok's getting divorced too.
I'm the only one left.
Heo Se definitely provides ground for divorce,
but no.
I can't do that. Divorce is not in my vernacular.
We should live life to the fullest.
I'll just fill the glass to the brim.
No.
I'm not the one who should drink.
Honey...
He should turn off the lights if he felt sleepy.
What was he watching?
Why...
He has lost his mind. Gosh.
Mom.
Out! Get out!
What's going on? What's wrong?
My knees...
What's wrong with you?
Gosh. What on earth were you doing?
Hey! You should knock before entering your parents' room.
We knocked and called you.
What did you two want?
We came down because...
we heard you come in but it stayed so quiet.
Go back upstairs.
Did you see what it was?
- Something fleshy. - Tarzan?
Go upstairs!
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
Save me...
I feel so hot.
That's so cool.
Did you... Did you see this?
I don't get...
how could you watch something like that...
and fall asleep like that.
I am just amazed.
Me too.
Where was I...
when I fell asleep?
Does it matter how much of the video you watched?
The fact that you watched that...
and still didn't feel the urge,
that's the problem.
You might reach enlightenment one day.
There's no need to sigh.
I prepared something else.
What?
Here.
"Couple Consultations"?
5, 6.
- Note his posture. - I see.
He isn't looking at the board.
I think he's looking back...
- and thinking about his moves. - Right.
- Once you make a huge risk, - Yes?
for a few days...
You'll sleep in Grandma's room?
I will until Dae Young comes home.
Until Dae Young comes home?
What do you mean?
Come and sit down.
The man you're seeing.
He's more than 10 years older than you?
- Yes. - How old is he?
I don't want you to be prejudiced.
See him for the nice guy he is.
There's nothing to see. I won't meet him.
You and Dad have a 12-year age gap.
That's why I'm against it.
You saw how we got by.
It was possible because it was then, not now.
There's so much you must put up with.
Can you hold back like I did?
I know what you're worried about.
Like you said, a young man with a good background?
I could meet someone like that.
But I don't think I'll be able to find someone...
as nice as this guy.
So Young.
You should never easily decide to get married based on how you feel.
I didn't make the decision easily.
I don't think it's good to think too much too.
Weighing out this and that,
worrying that something could go wrong.
Being picky like that?
Such people have a hard time getting married at all,
and I doubt they'll be happy too.
Not many things in life...
go how you want.
Can you guarantee I'd be happy...
if I dated someone my age?
You can't.
Dating a much older man...
won't guarantee your happiness either.
I'm not dating this guy because...
I want to get married.
I want to marry because I don't want to...
be apart from him.
You talk just like someone who was married once before.
I learned one thing while working at the hospital.
There's not much to life.
Enjoy the moment, the present.
You realized that so early on.
I don't want to weigh out my options.
Dating this guy has made me happy enough.
I don't want to lose out on this happiness.
That's why I'm considering marriage.
If that's how you feel, date him for a while.
There's nothing bad about that.
I will marry him.
No.
Date him for long enough.
If you feel the same after you've dated long enough,
then we'll think about it.
If you count the current layout,
he has about 41 out of 100.
That was my guess.
Dad. Did you and Mom fight again?
Have you heard from Dae Young?
I check his social media every day,
but there's nothing posted yet.
The internet over there will be poor.
Don't worry too much.
- Tell me if you hear anything. - Okay.
Dad. Try to get along with Mom.
What'll you do if she asks you for a divorce?
Go upstairs.
Goodnight.
He stayed focused and won by a half.
I think that this match...
requires the same.
What are you doing?
Looking at some old things I had put away.
Some old things?
Like what?
Are they old love letters?
I have no love letters.
You do.
Don't tear up or burn them.
Why not?
They're your valuable memories.
Aren't you jealous?
I'm not that small-minded.
What a pity.
I burned everything thinking that was the right thing to do.
I know you're lying.
- Go to sleep. - Okay.
See you in my dreams.
Baek Hyeon U.
I laughed a lot at your letter.
I didn't think you'd write.
I mean that.
The others will feel betrayed.
I'm not sure if I can keep this a secret.
You don't just play the saxophone pretty well.
You write funny letters too.
It wasn't the work of a first-time letter writer.
This is the best I can do,
so don't say I'm killing the mood.
I got goosebumps just reading your letter.
How did you get tickets to Shin Hae Chul's concert?
I'm so grateful. I really wanted to go.
It'll be the first time spending time with just you, but let's go.
Let's go and have fun. You sweet thing.
Bye.
- Sit. - Okay.
Dong Hyun, did you drink the leftover milk?
The milk?
Did I?
Yes, I drank it last night.
That's bad. We're out of milk.
Let's have it with water just for today.
Cereal with water?
Just this once.
You need to experience new things...
to become creative.
I don't want to be creative.
Creative people have it hard.
Who could that be?
Why are you here?
Did you have breakfast?
No, we were about to.
Hi.
Hello.
I made some gimbap for breakfast.
Dong Hyun, she's Dad's friend.
The food you ate at my clinic.
Right. It was delicious.
That was actually my cooking.
You enjoyed it so much that I made more.
Here. Eat up.
What's that?
Cereal with water?
We were out of milk.
Oh, dear.
Dong Hyun. Is the gimbap good?
Yes.
Is it? Then shall I bring breakfast every morning?
Why?
She's Dad's friend.
What does she do?
She taught English at an institute.
These days I only tutor a few kids.
How's your English?
Not too bad.
Do you want me to teach you?
Yes, Song Joo could teach you.
I'm a really expensive tutor. You don't like the idea?
I don't know.
I'm off.
Take care.
Don't you think that was a successful meet?
It was impeccable timing.
We were just out of milk.
Even so, you can't have cereal with water.
Good morning.
Good morning... Director.
Hi.
"Hi"?
She sliced the greeting in half because they came in together.
Coming in together means...
she has taken the spot of the wife.
What on earth happened last night?
If only you could teach him English,
you two could get closer quicker.
Do you think he knows about us?
I'm sure he does.
Kids these days catch on very fast.
I'll try to get close by bringing breakfast every day.
Is his mom a terrible cook?
She isn't terrible at cooking.
She just didn't cook.
Breakfast was toast or cereal,
sometimes with a fried egg.
That was it.
You really sold the store?
You're getting too good at this.
I sold it yesterday. How did you know to call?
What'll you do now?
I have nothing holding me down at all.
I have no foxy wife or cute kid.
I'm sure I'll manage to support myself.
I don't like it when you sigh.
You're only charming when you...
flip around like a freshly-caught fish.
What?
Your ex won't take you back?
Don't even mention him.
I've been through a lot and I can smell a man.
You'll regret letting him go.
Baek Ho.
I have a creed...
and my own rules when it comes to men.
I don't go back to a man I once dumped. The same goes for you.
Then why did you call?
It wasn't because I have feelings for you.
So why did you call?
The truth is,
I lost my part on the musical.
Is that why you're sagging...
like a fish in salt?
Your voice has gone downhill and so has your love life.
How will you manage from now on?
You used to be a vocalist.
You want me to coach you?
Help me get my voice back.
You must be really stumped...
if you came to me for help.
There is something you can do,
but you won't be able to do it.
What is it?
You can't do it even if I taught you.
Tell me what it is so I can decide if I can or not.
You can't do it even if I tell you how.
I'll do it.
That's why I came to see you.
Will you really do it?
Yes, I will, I'll do it.
- No, you can't. - I can!
Mi Rae. Listen to me carefully.
Your voice isn't the problem.
What's important is your pride.
You're older, your voice is failing,
and you're getting smaller roles.
That hurts, right?
Your voice isn't like it was because your pride's hurting.
Stop being so prideful and go back to the very beginning.
Start over completely.
If you really want to be on stage,
say you'll be in the ensemble.
The ensemble?
That's what you must do to survive?
How can I join the ensemble at my age?
Sing side-by-side with the rookies.
Show everyone that you're better.
What director would cast you if you're worse than the rookies?
You can't do it, can you?
What did I say?
(Closed. Thank you for everything.)
Ms. Yang.
I'm really sorry.
It's all my fault.
Why is it your fault?
You worked so hard to save the failing store.
We could've managed if only we had more time.
That's right.
We had some trials and errors,
but we were just becoming a team.
Right.
I feel bad for Ms. Yang,
but I feel even worse for you, Manager Park.
I made you join me only for this to happen.
You didn't mean for this to happen.
What can we do when this is how the world works?
We managed to do what we did...
because of you.
That's right.
Manager Park is really smart and savvy.
Why did you fire him?
It's like I told him before.
I fired him because he was so smart.
That's nonsense.
You should've fired the incompetent.
Smart people can find work easily.
The incompetent will have a hard time.
That's why...
You are unbelievable.
Must people always do the same thing?
The incompetent...
will find work that suits them.
If they can't, they can do manual labor.
Smart people should be allowed to do things that require smarts.
What kind of stupid logic is that?
You're very right.
I was foolish.
That made me feel even worse for him.
It's fine. It's in the past now.
There are many experts in the world...
and so much to learn.
I worked from a desk all my life...
and this was my first time in the field.
I learned a lot from you.
Mr. Kim. Shall I teach you one more thing?
Please do.
Working at a supermarket...
doesn't just require brawn but brain as well.
There's no beating a seasoned veteran.
(Jeil Hospital)
Nurse Kim So Young, come to room 611 immediately.
Nurse Baek. What happened?
I sprained my wrist.
How? Why?
Do people sprain their wrists when they're in love?
That's just stupid.
How bad is it? Is it serious?
Why do you think I asked for you?
To show you that I'm hurt?
Think of your duty as a nurse.
What?
Oh dear. The bandage is wet.
I got it wet in the bathroom.
I'll change it for you.
(So Young)
What's this? Now you're just being childish.
(So Young, I love you)
Is this what...
I want it to be?
I don't know.
It had better be.
What if it isn't?
Then I'll smother you with that pillow.
Read the rest.
(Marry me)
Take the rest off.
