(Episode 24)
Please let us get married.
Hyeon U...
won't take my calls...
or come to work.
He's hiding.
Mom, please. Mom. Mom...
Dad, help me.
What is it? What's wrong?
Dad. Hyeon U... Hyeon U...
What about that fool?
I can't reach him.
I think he changed his mind since he visited you.
Did you think we'd welcome him with open arms?
Dad. Will you please talk to Mom for me?
Dad.
No.
I agree with her too.
I'd be freaking out if he were 12 years your senior.
What? 20 years older?
No.
We're saying this for your sake, so give up.
No, Dad.
I think I might die.
What?
You might die?
How dare you say that to your dad?
Do you think...
this is what we raised you to be like?
I know how much you care for him,
but if you do this,
your mom will faint before you do.
Dad, I'll make it up to you.
I won't let you down.
Dad.
Does he mean more than your mom?
Do you want your mom to fall ill?
She'll never give in.
Go up to your room and go to bed.
Dad. Dad.
Dad, please. Help me out.
Dad.
So Young.
So Young!
So Young. So Young, wake up.
So Young.
- Wake up. So Young. - So Young.
Wake up!
- So Young. - So Young.
(Jeil Hospital)
So Young.
You're awake.
Do you recognize me?
Okay.
Mom.
Do you think I'll give in now? Don't get your hopes up.
What's wrong with her?
You brat.
You haven't been eating?
That's why you fainted.
If you do this to yourself again, I will punish you myself.
Dad.
I'll eat well, so can you...
help me out?
You saw your mom.
My help won't work,
and you can't persuade her.
It'll only get better if you give up.
I feel like...
I'm going to die.
My heart aches so much,
I think I might die.
Let's think about it over time.
Your mom will think as well.
Hyeon U...
is out of reach.
He changed the passcode to his place...
and won't take my calls.
Dad. Can you stop him?
Get him back for me.
I can't live without him.
He's a male head nurse.
That's him.
Baek Hyeon U.
Okay, thank you.
The phone is turned off.
I'm So Young's father.
Call me.
Honey.
Here's your coffee.
Coffee? Is there anything else?
Anything else? Like what?
The eel extract or yagwanmun, the stuff you fed me before.
Bring all that.
Oh, the eel... Eel extract.
You're not throwing up.
I'm okay now.
I need to prepare for the real battle.
For the real battle?
Sorry, honey.
I threw out the eel. We only have yagwanmun.
- Bring that then. - Okay.
Why should I have coffee?
Here comes your morning medicine.
Is this too much?
You had a big breakfast.
It's not a lot.
I'll drink and prepare for tonight. Hand me that.
Is there anything else?
I'll show you what I can do,
so bring me all you have.
Don't go overboard.
Calm down and go to work already.
Fine.
You can be so silly.
- Is there anything else? - No.
- No? - Darling. Honey. See you later.
Okay. See you after work.
Will he be able to find a romantic place?
You work the night shift.
Rest at home then come back later.
I feel better when I'm here.
Do you want to stay here to wait for him?
He wouldn't just disappear without calling or telling me.
He must have a reason.
I'll hear it in person.
Do you know how you look right now?
I'm fine, Dad.
Are you taking after your mom?
Why are you both so stubborn?
Sorry. Go on home.
My goodness.
Don't skip your meals...
and come home as soon as your shift ends, okay?
Okay, I'll do that.
(Baek Hyeon U)
Hello?
You call yourself a man?
Please sit first.
What are you doing?
If a man took the plunge,
plead and beg at least.
Or end it properly for good.
What are you doing, hiding behind So Young and upsetting her?
I apologize.
I know how you feel,
but avoiding her won't work.
Both her parents disapprove, so you'll feel frustrated.
We hurt you, so you want to give up.
But you can't just ignore her calls.
Do you know what state she's in?
Did something happen to her?
Are you worried then?
Is she okay?
She was in the ER all night and just got discharged.
The ER?
So,
what'll you do now?
You must have an idea.
I plan to leave.
To where?
Will you resign from your post?
The truth is, I'd been preparing to go abroad for training.
Then I met So Young and couldn't go alone,
so I planned to give up.
I think I'll go.
Where to? When?
To America.
Once I'm accepted,
I'll leave right away.
My gosh.
I'm worried for So Young.
She'll calm down...
once I'm out of her sight.
After I'm gone,
talk to her for me, sir.
I feel terrible that...
it looks like I'm running away like this.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Try greeting me like that at home.
Why are you here?
Why? Am I not allowed here?
Must you do this?
This is my workplace.
I know that. That's why I'm here.
Stop the chatter...
and bring me something cold.
Get up and leave.
What are you doing? I'm a customer too.
I'll pay.
Bring me a cold drink so we can talk.
Let's talk at home. Later.
Why wait when our daughter's life is on the line?
Are you doing this to humiliate me?
You're embarrassing us both.
What's the matter? Let me help.
How can you help?
It's a family matter.
What are you doing? You're so ignorant.
What?
Ignorant?
How dare you call your husband that in public?
If you're going to look down on me while working at a place like this,
quit right now.
Come with me.
Let go of me.
- Let go. - Come outside.
Let go. I said let go.
- Come along. - Let go!
- Get up. - Let me go.
Get up. Come with me.
Let go.
What are you doing?
When did you get so strong?
Quit and come home.
Who are you to tell me to quit?
We lived together for 25 years, and you still don't know?
Are you demented already?
Are you the one with dementia?
I won't live with you anymore.
Says who?
You can't rebel forever.
So Young's talking about dying.
What stupid job means so much that you'd do this on the street?
You don't think much of me.
You think nothing of me, my job or my pride.
Stop it and come home and...
Don't touch me again.
What's wrong with you, woman?
Don't you dare come here again.
Then I'll kill you and kill myself.
That woman...
Slow down, is something wrong?
Don't drink so quickly.
My life is a waste.
I'm a failure.
Did you and your wife argue?
I'd give it a go if we were an even match.
I know. Women can't stand up to us and still...
Now I'm the one who can't stand up to her.
She quashed me completely.
She did?
Did Jin Ok's punches get that powerful?
How did a meet housewife become so scary?
My goodness.
- Welcome. - Hello.
It's the couple from yesterday.
You came to purchase a villa.
- Will you sign the deal? - No.
Then why did you come back?
Because of this man.
Most agents just want to sign one more deal.
He's the first man who spoke honestly about the building.
He worked at a construction company his whole life.
He can tell right away just by looking at a building.
Of all the agencies we went to, this one's the most honest.
We'd like to ask for a favor.
What favor?
We want to move here for good, to retire.
We want to buy a house and a small shopping arcade.
Is that so?
Then please take a seat.
- Over there. - Thanks.
- Sit. - Sit over here.
You came to the right place.
There's one building looking for a quick buyer.
I apologize.
I didn't know he'd cause a scene. I'm so sorry.
I'm not worried about that.
Is it true that our photos were posted online?
- Yes. - So quickly?
That's how things are.
The head office called to tell us.
I'm sorry.
I'll take responsibility and resign.
You don't have to go that far.
I'll just take the penalty points.
No, don't do that. Why should you be penalized?
I'll take responsibility.
Find a part-timer.
I'll resign as soon as you do.
Cheers.
Thanks to you, I made a month's sales in one day.
I drank a lot of your beers.
I'm glad I paid for them.
That's nothing.
Drink for free forever.
Just that comment made me feel better.
We've been friends...
for so many years already.
Speak casually.
No, I can't do that.
It's not like we have a special relationship.
We met through our wives.
I can't talk down to you.
You can be so hardheaded.
I feel uncomfortable, that's why.
I call you by your name and all, but you're always so polite,
and it makes me look bad.
Does it? I didn't know.
I'll treat you with honor and respect forever.
Thank you so much.
Come on.
Just say thanks.
I've been in a bad mood,
but you make me laugh.
I'm sorry for how I reacted yesterday.
You were way too honest with them,
so I thought I'd lost a customer.
I guess it pays to be honest.
Thanks to you, I learned something else.
- Another toast? - Sure.
Did you and Jin Ok fight...
because of So Young?
As usual.
I think my daughter is too good for him as well.
But seeing her in so much pain...
makes me want to give in for her sake.
We tend to put family first,
but my cousin-in-law's a catch.
- Your cousin-in-law? - You didn't know?
He's my wife's cousin.
We live in such a small world.
He joined a monastery...
to become a priest.
Maybe that's why he's so innocent and naive.
He has some assets...
and no parents means no in-law trouble.
If So Young's up for it, marry them off.
It's not just me.
Jin Ok's adamant she won't give in.
Do you want to go back to cleaning?
Okay.
Sing from your stomach as if you're a waterfall.
You can't do that?
Again.
No vibrato. Again.
What are you thinking about?
Calm your thoughts and focus.
I've been singing one note all day, so I'm exhausted.
Don't you ever move on?
How much longer must I sing only one note.
- You're helpless. - What?
You're full of greed and desire.
How could you ever sing beautifully?
Did you ever see me get greedy?
Must I see to know?
You never cared much for your voice.
But you want to stand out,
so you sing high notes damaging your vocal cords.
You can't even breathe deeply because you're out of shape...
and yet you want to sing.
That is your greed.
If that's how you'll sing, just quit.
Why did you end up with that conclusion?
I'll sing properly. I'll do it.
We'll sing this note until you get it.
He never stops complaining.
Just wait until I'm done. I'll get my revenge.
(Kang Joon Ho and Seol Song Joo are getting married.)
A wedding invitation?
"Congratulate us on our new beginning."
That's really quick.
How did he live with me when he wanted to remarry so soon?
Fine. Good riddance.
I wish you have a good life.
(Maintenance Fee Reminder)
"Your maintenance fee is two months in arrears."
Did I not pay the maintenance fee?
I wouldn't have.
I never paid the bills.
It's a hassle not having a husband.
The maintenance office. Here it is.
Hello, this is apartment number 33.
The maintenance fee bill?
Can you send a new one?
What? It's paid in full?
Really?
Okay, thank you.
I definitely didn't pay.
Was it Joon Ho?
He knew I wouldn't have paid it.
I don't want to lose him seeing this side.
Fine.
The love I couldn't give you,
I hope you get it from her. Be happy with her.
My goodness.
I wondered why you were out when you have no job.
Were you out shopping all day?
As if. I can't afford to go shopping.
I'm busy working on my voice and have no time anyway.
Then what's all this?
Hey, this is your handbag.
Your shoes and clothes.
Why did you bring all these?
To sell them. I'll sell them all.
Give me your car key.
Are you that strapped? Do you need a loan?
No, I have money.
I just want to sort everything out.
These are just a hassle, and I don't need them.
You're coming back down to earth since you quit drinking.
Hey. Just keep everything unless you need cash.
They're hard to buy now.
These don't mean anything.
I'll sell them all and move on.
- Did you hear? - About what?
Joon Ho. He's getting remarried.
I know. I got the wedding invitation.
He sent you an invitation?
Gosh, you're way too cool about this.
It's over already, so it's best we be cool.
I have to keep seeing him because of Dong Hyun.
Is that why you're selling everything?
Because he bought them for you?
That's one of the reasons.
And I need the money too.
Are you a bit upset that someone else...
snapped up the man you kicked to the curb?
Why would I be upset? I feel so relieved.
You're overreacting which means you aren't entirely relieved.
You threw out a perfectly find husband.
He's not perfectly fine.
He cheated on me too.
Give me your car key.
Very well, Madam Kim.
Please, this time, don't get it scratched.
I won't.
This time...
I'll make sure that...
Pass me that. I'll make sure to crash it.
- What? - Oh, dear.
Drive safely.
(Love Animals Animal Hospital)
Welcome.
(Love Animals Animal Hospital)
Hello. How have you been?
How have you been doing, ma'am?
You never call now.
Don't call me ma'am.
Call me Mi Rae now.
I put you through a lot, didn't I?
I enjoyed being your spy.
It was thrilling.
Is Director Kang out?
He's busy preparing for the wedding...
I know. He sent me a wedding invitation.
Wow, he sent it to you too?
Then...
pass this to him for me.
What is it?
A threat? Or a warning?
No, gift money.
I'm off.
Okay. Goodbye.
(Love Animals Animal Hospital)
Gift money?
That's so lovely and nonchalant.
But I still don't get it.
I wouldn't have sent it.
Gift money from the ex.
What does this mean?
Leftover feelings? Good riddance?
How much did she put in here?
I shouldn't peek,
but as a future writer, I must.
No. I could look.
What are you doing?
Why are you so surprised?
You almost gave me a miscarriage.
Don't say that. You're not even married.
What's that?
Your wife was here.
I was with her all this while.
Not the future one. Your ex was here.
Really? What's this?
How would I know?
Live happily this time.
And don't nag your new wife as much.
It's me.
If you aren't too far away, let's have some tea.
It's been a long time since we did this.
It has.
I heard you're getting vocal lessons.
You get regular updates?
I meet Heo Se sometimes.
Then you'll have heard I lost the musical role.
Why did you leave me so much money?
You need it more than me.
We were once married.
I should congratulate you at least.
That's more than enough.
Kang Joon Ho, don't you know what I'm like?
Okay, fine.
Promise to tell me when you need help.
Okay?
Hey.
Now that we broke up you're yelling at me?
Will you do that?
You look out for me...
even before I ask for help.
Hearing you talk about me like that after so long...
feels quite weird.
Be good to Dong Hyun, so he doesn't feel hurt.
I will.
- Sorry. - For what?
For a lot.
For getting remarried first...
and for cheating on you.
Since you mentioned it, let's hear more about it.
Why did you cheat?
Because you...
You were rarely at home because of...
your auditions and shows...
and didn't care much for housework.
Whenever I tried to talk to you, you just flew into a rage.
To be honest, I felt a bit lonely.
A woman who knows how to clean fell for me.
So it's my fault?
I don't mean that.
It's just a fact.
- Why did you cheat on me then? - Me?
I guess...
- I wanted acceptance. - Acceptance?
I made a comeback three years after having Dong Hyun.
I'd lost my touch, was out of shape,
and each day I went a little more downhill.
You always whined about how I was lazy and gross.
"Mi Rae, are you okay?"
You never asked once.
I didn't? I thought I did often.
Forget it.
It's in the past.
Be happy with the woman who's giving you her all.
I'm not being sarcastic. I'm serious.
That's good for Dong Hyun too.
We used to be great together when we were in university.
We were better as friends than as a married couple.
We should've stayed friends.
Anyway, you went through a lot trying to be my husband.
Sorry for not being good to you.
Be happy.
I will.
Seeing you like this...
makes me think I should've been nicer.
(Song Joo)
Why didn't you pick up?
I thought it would be rude.
Is it really because of me?
I don't think that's entirely true.
You're almost psychic.
You know me better than my own mom.
We know each other's insides as well.
Let's go back to being friends.
Friends?
Sure.
We have to meet up for Dong Hyun's sake,
and I'll see your wife as well.
Let's not be clingy or whiny.
- Can I call you sometimes? - Sure.
I started to jog recently.
Come to the Han River if you can.
Really?
My teacher's complaining that my breaths are too short.
I'll call you.
Okay. Bye.
Where are you going?
Don't you see me waiting?
Sit down.
If you'd brought me a drink,
things wouldn't have gotten out of hand.
Get to the point.
I don't want to talk to you for long.
I wouldn't...
sit and talk to you if it weren't for So Young.
What about her? Is she sick again?
Are you worried?
If you are,
leave her be for a while.
That's for the best.
What do you mean leave her?
I met with the guy.
He'll leave her side.
So don't upset either of them anymore and trust them.
Think about what you did.
Your mother disapproved of me,
so you left home.
Why are you bringing that up?
I was naive and clueless then.
What?
Why did you turn so nasty?
It can't be helped.
I won't let So Young end up like me, so I'll do as I want.
We're only on the same page when we live in the same room.
How can we do this together when we sleep separately?
If you want to say that, come back to my room.
Do you want to say that now?
I won't go back.
My goodness.
Nurse Kim.
I knew this would happen.
- What? - By any chance,
are you two really breaking up?
What? What are you talking about?
I just got back from the office.
Nurse Baek applied to go to America for training.
- To go to America? - Yes.
Nurse Ahn from Orthopedics will be transferred here.
They say Nurse Baek's packing. You had no idea?
Really?
What are you doing?
You heard?
I'm going to train in America.
What do you think you're doing?
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
So Young, being many years apart...
isn't the same as letting a friend marry a daughter.
Friends? Hyeon U and Mom are friends?
That was long before you were even born.
Are you really friends with Hyeon U?
What's all this? Are you moving out?
I'm going to America next week.
No wonder So Young left home.
What?
