Dae Young.
My gosh.
Wait.
He's asleep. That's all he does.
What happened?
What wrong with him?
The person who brought him said...
he caught an endemic disease like malaria in Africa.
You don't have to worry.
He fully recovered before coming back.
Why is he in bed?
He's exhausted.
He didn't eat much and has malnutrition.
The scumbag.
Did he leave home to come back like this?
Does he have anything else?
No. Once the drip goes in...
and he wakes, he has to eat well.
He could develop complications...
if he's too weak.
He needs to sleep for now, so don't you wake him.
Wait. Who brought him here?
I don't know.
You talked to him on the phone.
Yes.
Call him back.
(Episode 34)
Oh Seo Jin speaking.
Oh, yes.
You don't need to.
I liked him enough to look after him.
Is he still asleep?
In Africa, people with that disease...
sleep an awful lot.
He'll be fine after a few days.
Don't worry too much.
You don't have to.
Once your son wakes up,
he'll come to see me. We can meet then.
Don't mind me and nurse your son.
Okay, bye.
Who was that?
I brought a kid back with me.
He caught an endemic disease and was totally out of it,
but refused to leave.
I dragged him back and put him in a hospital.
This was his mom.
Why did you bring back someone else's son?
Weren't you too nosy?
The kid could've died if I left him there.
If he was that sick, why was he that stubborn?
He's quite interesting. A bit like me.
Interesting how?
He quit studying medicine at Goyeon University...
and came to Africa to get lost.
What do you think?
That's exactly you. A nutcase.
You hired a smart kid?
It's quite well-organized.
She's not a kid. She's middle-aged.
Middle-aged? How old is she?
Older than you.
Older than me?
How could you hire someone that old?
Don't talk down to me. I'm your senior.
Just by one semester, not even a year.
Watch it before I teach you a lesson.
It's good to see you're a bit more cheerful.
Am I?
I should live cheerfully.
What does he have, doctor?
The aftereffects of malaria.
Locals usually shake off malaria...
like we do the common cold,
but the mortality rate for travelers is much higher.
If the mortality rate is high, what will happen to Dae Young?
He was treated well over there,
so the worst case is over.
He had serious anemia,
but his cell count is climbing since the transfusion,
so you needn't worry.
He'll be conscious when he wakes up.
I see.
Thank you.
He will wake up, won't he?
Why would he not wake up?
He's not unconscious, he's just asleep.
He left looking so normal.
How could he come back in this state?
You told me to leave him alone.
Who said he could go to Africa or paprika if he wanted to?
Weren't you prepared to deal with something like this?
He'll get better. I know it.
Dae Young will definitely get better.
Why were you so late?
I had to give the bride's family a lift.
You could get that involved with your ex's family...
for Dong Hyun's sake,
but must you care so much about your ex's friend?
I've known them for 15 years.
How can I ignore them?
Fine.
What's this?
Do I give you just anything to drink?
It's good for you, so just drink it.
I have to go.
Dong Hyun's teacher called to say he's leaving school early.
He's leaving early? Why?
He has a stomach ache.
That wouldn't happen...
if he only eats my food.
Did you buy him something else to eat?
Why would we eat away from home...
when you cook such great meals?
I noticed smudges on his uniform's sleeve.
It looked like ramyeon soup or tteokbokki sauce.
I think he's eating junk food.
He might have had something with his friends.
Don't you think you're a bit too sensitive?
I'm being sensitive?
Are you a dad?
What? Did I do something wrong?
I feel like crying whenever I see Dong Hyun.
His parents fed him such trash that...
the kid ended up in the ER with a stomach ulcer.
You'd be arrested for child abuse if this were the US.
It's true.
(Love Animals Animal Hospital)
Okay. Go and get Dong Hyun.
See you.
Did the idiot have to get it on his sleeve?
(Jangsa-gu District Council Member Tak Heo Se, Enjoy your evening)
What's this?
It's a gift from Heo Se.
He did so much for us when Grandma passed.
He's always looking out for us.
I should thank him.
Call your parents first to say we got here safely.
Then I'll call Ms. Oh.
"Ms. Oh"?
Dal Sook?
You call my parents, okay?
- Me? - That's how it's done.
Oh dear.
Dae Young. I'm so sorry for everything.
Will you forgive me and please wake up?
Will you stop it?
It's been 30 minutes already.
Others would think he's dead.
How could you say something like that?
He was like this when he was younger.
He'd sleep for three days and nights after a bad cold.
Then he got up as if nothing had happened.
He'll do the same again.
Hi.
Mr. Baek.
Okay. Well done.
Yes, just a moment. I'll put my wife on.
- Hey. - No.
- Gosh. What do I say? - Do it.
My gosh.
Hello.
Dal Sook's husband filled me in.
Enjoy your stay.
So Young, was it a long day?
Have a good night's sleep and visit Hyeon U's...
Don't forget to visit Mr. Baek's parents at the charnel house.
Here?
Everything's fine here.
Don't worry about us...
and have a good time. Bye.
Give it back.
Why not mention Dae Young?
So Young won't stay calm if I told her.
My goodness. She'd forget about her honeymoon...
and come straight over here.
It's not like anything will change if they visit,
and they'll be back the day after tomorrow anyway.
Why did you pass the phone to me when he called you?
Because...
Well, you and Mr. Baek used to be friends.
"We used to be friends". What do you mean by that?
You know that and you let them marry?
My gosh.
Are you going to sing that old tune...
when the ceremony's over and done with?
Did you ever consider how awkward and uncomfortable it would be...
for high school friends to become mother and son-in-law?
I will try, of course,
but don't expect too much from me.
What do you think I expect from you?
I expect only one thing from you.
Dae Young.
Get my son back to health and back to medical school.
That's all.
Ara ri ga nat ne
Did I sing the whole song without making a single mistake?
Yes. You really practiced.
Thank you, master.
I still sense that you urge to show off every now and then,
but I'd say you came in leaps and bounds.
I can't believe you're actually complimenting me.
Director Park called today.
Did she?
She asked if you were doing well.
And?
I cannot lie.
What did you tell her?
I praised you.
She told me to scold you so you wouldn't get conceited.
Seriously?
Straighten your back.
Let's sing from start to finish in one go.
I'll sing first.
Are you sad?
I saw you give your daughter away during the ceremony.
Thinking about marrying off my twins later on...
Gosh, I just don't think I can do it.
Have a drink, Bok Nam.
Here.
You just wait until...
they bring you a handsome grandson.
You'll realize you married her off to the right man.
Drink that up and let go of the sadness. Okay?
I was conned.
You could feel like you were conned.
You raised her with so much love.
- My gosh. - I lost my severance pay.
You lost your severance pay?
What do you mean?
What's this?
(Early Leave Form)
"Early leave form"?
This isn't even my signature.
That brat.
Hello, this is Sagong Chang Ho.
Hello, sir.
I'm Il Lan and Yi Ran's mom.
Pardon?
I found an early leave slip in Il Lan's pocket.
When you came in as proctor, you confirmed you approved.
The proctor wasn't me, that was my friend.
Don't allow Il Lan to leave school early again.
I'll come over to discuss the details in person.
I apologize.
Can you come to my studio right away?
Why can't you look straight at me?
What do you mean?
You must have something to tell me.
What would I have to tell...
No...
Master.
Is that it?
Don't beat around the bush.
I want to hear the truth from you.
If you can't tell the truth,
leave the room this instant.
Men are always like this.
If I show just a little bit of kindness,
they misconstrue my intentions and imagine things.
Listen carefully.
I won't let any more men into my life.
What are you talking about?
You shouldn't like me.
I love my husband, Il Lan and Yi Ran so much.
Why would you love Il Lan and Yi Ran?
Why wouldn't a mother love her daughters?
Don't you feel ashamed?
Don't you feel ashamed to face Il Lan?
I spoke with Il Lan's real mother!
I've never met someone like you in my life!
You weren't like a mother, wife,
or a student wishing to learn,
but I gave you a shot because you seemed honest and direct.
That's why I accepted you.
I'm so sorry, master.
I didn't mean to deceive you in the first place.
Believe me.
You cannot be believed.
Is there anything honest about you?
Master.
I'll speak again with Director Park.
That's it. You can go.
No, Master.
What are you doing?
Master Sagong.
I'll do anything you want.
I'll clean the drums and floor...
and will sing pansori for a year if that's all you'll teach me.
I'll do anything you want me to.
Please don't refuse to teach me.
To be honest, at first,
I thought you were really strange.
You were really strict,
but you peeled apples if a patient asked you to.
I guess I got curious...
and wanted to find out more about you.
So? What am I like?
You're kindhearted and sweet.
I think you'll never make me unhappy.
I hated how you played hard to get at the beginning.
I was afraid.
I tried so hard not to like you.
Really?
When did you fall for me?
Let me think...
When you grabbed the music sheet for me?
Really?
You put up a wall for so long.
This won't do. From now on, once a day, tell me you love me.
To make up for what you didn't say.
Okay.
- Go on. - What?
Today's day one, so say it five times. Hurry.
You're really helpless.
Say it.
- I love you. - One.
- I love you. - Two.
- I love you. - Three.
I love you, I love you.
Hey. What was that?
I love you.
- So Young. - It's us.
Do you think Manager Park was in on it?
He caused a scene at your mother's funeral.
I totally understand why he did.
He trusted me the most. but he was the first I fired.
He lost his severance pay and his house.
He's a victim too.
Give that man a call first.
Manager Park?
What for?
All you know is the conman's name.
Manager Park met him in high school.
You need his help to find the conman or not.
When I got the money back,
I was going to rent So Young an apartment,
send Jin Ok on a trip,
and open a small store.
Why is my life like this?
Bok Nam, you'll be able to do all that.
I'll use all my connections to find the conman,
so don't you get too disappointed.
Thank you.
Don't say that. Have another drink.
You can't just barge in like this.
You're the first of us to get married...
but there was no party at all.
We had no choice but to come over.
We're So Young's best friends.
You didn't meet us before the wedding, so now's your chance.
I guess so.
Shall we begin?
Hey, you could kill someone with that.
Then win the game.
Why do you care?
Let's start the games.
How about 3-6-9?
What's that?
You don't know? Then Bani Bani?
- The Son Byung Ho game? - Byung Ho?
Forget those games and stick to something easy.
We'll let you off then. Truth or Dare.
Bottom's up if you can't or won't answer.
Pass if you tell the truth.
We'll start with you, Hyeon U, the old man.
"When I met So Young, it was love at first sight."
Tell the truth. Yes or no.
"I think So Young's the prettiest woman in the world."
Yes, she is.
That's a lie. Drink another glass.
Why is that a lie?
How could you be the prettiest woman in the world?
- Of course, it's a lie. - Definitely.
It's not. She is the prettiest in the world.
This won't do. Pour another glass.
Stop it.
The games are just an excuse to get him drunk.
That will never happen.
- Why are you drinking that? - Hey.
- That's no fun. - Darn it.
Are you happy now?
Get out right now or we're no longer friends!
- We only just got here. - Get out. Go.
You have a curfew.
Your mom's waiting for you. Go home.
- Get out. - See you around.
Are you okay?
I think I'm drunk.
Why did you drink the whole glass just like that?
I don't know. I don't know.
Go and shower.
I'm too wobbly.
Can't you carry me there?
My goodness.
You're such a baby.
Hurry up, or I won't shower.
Okay.
Come on.
Brush your teeth.
This is fun.
Wash your face and take a shower.
- Get me a towel too. - What?
Or I'll ask you to wash my face for me.
I won't care if you feel embarrassed tomorrow morning.
Come on.
Oh, dear.
Okay then. I'll do as you want. Here.
There.
(Jeil Hospital)
Hey.
Hey. You're here.
Why did you sleep like that...
when there's a small bed underneath?
I prefer this.
You have to go to your cafe. Go ahead.
I'll stay.
No. I won't move a step...
until Dae Young wakes up.
You abandoned your husband...
and were determined to work at some cafe.
What now?
Is it not what you dreamed?
Manager Park.
Now?
Wait a moment.
I'll call you back.
Mi Rae will watch the cafe for me.
Sort out whatever business you have.
Don't take that back later.
I offered to help.
You denied it.
Dae Young. Do you see me? Dae Young.
Dae Young. Dae Young.
Dae Young.
You'll be okay.
Like Dad said, you just had a bad dream.
I'll be right here for you.
Get better as soon as you can.
You'll be okay.
I know you will be.
Thank you.
It looks delicious.
Well...
Do you want a fork?
Stop it.
Why? Shall I feed you?
I told you to stop.
I didn't know it before,
but my young bride could be such a baby.
I realized you asked me to carry you...
whenever you got drunk.
I did not.
Stop pouting and eat.
I'll carry you even if you aren't drunk. Here.
Whatever.
Bok Nam.
Hello.
Nice to meet you. I'm Park Il Soo.
I'm Tak Heo Se.
You look terrible compared to when I first saw you.
Pardon?
He helped me a great deal at my mother's funeral.
Right.
I wasn't in my right mind that day.
- I apologize. - That's fine.
You have to be strong and alert from now on.
- Let's sit. - Okay.
Sit down.
You two checked and confirmed that...
his car was in the underground parking lot last night.
Look at this.
That means he still lives in this apartment complex.
He's right.
The real estate register...
shows the owner's surname and date of birth.
We only know two things about him.
That Hyung Tae Seob was born in 1983.
We could say it's fortunate that his surname is Hyung.
It's not common.
I checked the register of every apartment...
and he has all sorts of loans...
and even his taxes are backlogged.
He can't rent his property or sell it off,
so he'll definitely live there himself.
Oh, dear. 2-Na-1, this is the one.
This is it.
Bok Nam, that house there.
All right.
- Daddy's home. - Dad?
Hello. How are you?
Who are you?
We're here...
looking for Hyung Tae Seob.
My dad's name is Hyung Tae Seob.
Who are you?
Are you bad people again?
No, we're not bad people.
We're your dad's friends.
Where's your dad?
I don't know.
You don't?
He said he'd be back after three nights.
He's not back yet.
Where's your mom?
She's in hospital.
She doesn't live at home.
Then who looks after you?
Is it just you at home with your brothers?
If you're Dad's friend,
can you tell him to come home soon?
Please?
I'll call him and tell him to come home.
Take care of your brothers.
Don't open the door for anyone.
Okay.
Hey. Mom.
Mom. Don't get the wrong idea.
I felt so full after dinner that...
I needed to digest it.
I won't hit you.
Come and sit down.
- Why? - Just come and sit down.
Hurry up and sit down.
What's the matter? Is something wrong?
When's the audition?
This weekend.
But I won't attend.
I have a society meeting.
You can't fool me.
You'll go anyway.
- I said I won't. - Go.
But you only have three shots.
If you fail three auditions,
don't talk about becoming a singer again.
Yi Ran, is this for real? Am I dreaming?
Don't worry, I'm a witness.
I'm so happy.
I love you, Mom.
- Stop it. - You're the best.
- Get off me. - I love you. I'll become rich...
It looks so good.
Slow down, it's still hot.
Mom, I was craving this so much.
I can't eat my school lunch.
I thought I was going to die.
So I made it extra spicy for you.
Mom.
Have a beer.
You always have beer with tteokbokki.
Shall I?
That must be the chicken. I'll get it.
Okay.
It's been so long.
That's so refreshing.
How can you feed him this?
And you're drinking too?
What's all the fuss about?
He can have this every now and then.
You're his mom. Don't you know he has stomach ulcers?
He can't eat things like this.
Do you call yourself a mom?
We're leaving.
If you keep this up, you might never see her again.
What the...
Dae Young...
My Dae Young...
used to smile so brightly.
I'm sorry.
I should have...
I should have protected you.
I'm sorry, Dae Young.
Don't cry, Mom.
Mom.
I missed you.
Dae Young. Dae Young.
Dae Young.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Do you know who Sergeant Nam is?
I was in the Defense Corps and was discharged a corporal.
We don't know any sergeants.
Hello? Police?
Don't you have rational or logical thought?
Nice to meet you.
Mom must feel so awkward to have an old son-in-law.
Right?
