So you insist you did nothing wrong?
Yes.
Hey. Dong Hyun.
What did I do that's so wrong?
Am I a criminal?
You committed two grave crimes.
You scratched someone's car. That's property damage.
Fleeing the scene without a report...
is against the Special Cases Act on Settlement of Traffic Accidents.
Is that true?
I looked it up.
Dad. Is that true?
Yes.
She's right this time.
I didn't do it on purpose.
I thought it would be okay.
Maybe you did back then.
But now you know it's not.
Then you should beg for forgiveness.
Say you're sorry and kneel.
Then I'll forgive you.
Song Joo, he knows he made a mistake.
Stop corning him and...
The more you love a kid the stricter you must be.
How can you educate him if you let him drag you around?
He won't admit his mistake.
Dong Hyun, say you're sorry.
If it's wrong, then it is.
- Dad. - Do it.
Go on your knees.
Why should I kneel?
I don't want to.
The man said I didn't have to.
If you keep this up, you lose the right to be forgiven.
Do whatever you want.
I won't listen to you anymore.
Dong Hyun, get out here!
Fine.
I'll show you what you did wrong.
Is that the police? Hello.
I want to report a student who committed a hit-and-run.
Hey, Seol Song Joo.
The police?
Okay. See you tomorrow.
How could you report your child to the police?
You're really scary.
What?
Did you call the police?
Yes.
I'm your mom too.
I went on my knees in front of the car's owner,
but you didn't admit your wrong.
You need to know what you did.
I'm really sorry.
I'm on my knees. Forgive me.
Why didn't you do this when I told you to?
It's no use now.
The police will investigate you tomorrow and punish you.
Dad, do something.
Give me time.
You could've just apologized.
Don't cry.
I saw on the news that some parents report their own kids,
but never thought it would happen to me.
Even if you're angry and all that, how can you do this?
Do you think I enjoy having to do this?
This incident is important to both Dong Hyun and me.
If I let him have his way and manipulate me,
I'll never be able to instruct him properly.
So will you really take him to a police station?
What's more important is that...
he won't take me seriously or listen to me.
He's not that kind of kid.
How can you say that after what just happened?
He didn't care what I say.
I'm a mom too.
I want to be respected as one.
- If you leave it to time... - Why should I leave it to time?
Shouldn't you be taking control?
If he called me "mom", he wouldn't be this disobedient.
First, cancel the police report.
He's scared, and you'll get what you wanted.
Cancel it.
I won't take my son to the police.
Nothing will happen.
He just has to be questioned and show regret for his actions.
I won't repeat myself.
I won't hold it against you.
Cancel it.
How can I cancel a report I already made?
It wouldn't have gone this far...
if you'd knelt down when she told you to.
I could've done so back then.
Why didn't you?
She treated me like a criminal instead of listening to me.
I'll never kneel to her if she has that attitude.
And she gives me a hard time too.
So you fought back?
What I eat and wear.
My time and phone, she controls everything.
We eat and wear much better than we used to.
We have a set schedule.
All parents these days track where their kids are.
What's so stressful?
I can't eat or wear what I want.
She manages my time, so I have no freedom.
Do you like it that she knows...
where you are and doing what at all times?
What should I do?
Dad.
Go on.
Divorce Song Joo and live with Mom.
Mom still lives alone.
She doesn't want that.
I'll talk to her.
I'll cry and throw a tantrum if I must.
I'm not so sure.
Come and...
I'm not sure if you must do this,
crushing the kid's ego in the process.
Sometimes, you need to get aggressive with kids.
I won't let him drag me around like you do.
Don't corner him too tight. Give him some room to breathe.
You must eat breakfast.
Do you think I can?
Mr. Baek.
Did you sleep well, Father?
With So Young married, it's nice that...
I have a place to go to other than home.
Dad, whatever the case you shouldn't take a newlywed couple's bed.
I had to flee Dae Young and your mom's tempers.
Don't you berate me too.
Is this because Mom gave us an allowance...
from her first paycheck?
Hey.
We got a parcel yesterday.
From whom?
Your mom.
Mother got you a present?
She sent herself a present.
She wouldn't do that.
She said so.
She got herself a gift.
Good for her.
What?
I thought she had dementia.
What did she get herself?
I don't know. I didn't get to see because I left home.
Come here, get on my back and play
Love, love, love, my dear love
Master.
Your phone's getting on my nerves.
Will you concentrate?
When you're singing, even if a gong's going off next to you,
you must continue to sing.
I get that,
but since we stopped, you might as well answer.
Hello?
What? The police station?
Yes, that's correct.
Okay, very well.
I thought she was different.
My gosh.
What's the matter?
Yesterday, a schoolboy rode his bike...
into my parked car.
The boy's mom...
went on her knees to apologize.
I thought that was odd but then...
Then what?
She contacted the police because...
the boy didn't admit his wrongdoing.
Some heartless parents do that...
in the name of discipline.
We should end the lesson here.
- Are you going back to practice? - Yes.
Come with me then.
Wait here. I shouldn't be long.
Okay, go ahead.
Dong Hyun!
Mom.
Dong Hyun.
He's your son, Mi Rae?
Yes.
Did Dong Hyun do something terrible enough to end up here?
A stepmom's a mom too.
How can you report your son to the police?
She made the call because Dong Hyun wouldn't listen.
You should've stopped her!
I had no time...
Things just happened.
I thought you were a psycho but I didn't think you were this bad.
What? A psycho?
I treated you with respect for being his mom.
Song Joo.
You slapped me once and now you think that little of me?
- How dare you? - Mi Rae.
Let go of me.
Doesn't she see I'm trying to educate her son?
Is bringing him here education?
Let go of me.
Is it normal to call his stepmom a psycho in his presence?
At least I told him to call you "mom" from now on.
Stop it.
Fighting outside a police station in front of him...
can't be good for discipline.
Calm down.
- Dong Hyun! - Dong Hyun!
I'll call him and take him home with me.
Don't be silly.
Why would he stay with someone else when he has a home?
"Someone else"?
What got into you now?
Why is my place "someone else's place"?
Why do you keep referring to Joon Ho like that?
It's a polite term for the second person.
You're so ignorant.
Anyway, you aren't taking Dong Hyun home.
I need to talk to him.
He ran off. He needs comforting.
I'm the only person who can do that.
Why you? I live with him so it should be me.
Mr. Kang, Mi Rae, fighting out here...
Know your place and stay out of it.
Are you crazy?
- Master, let's go. - Okay.
Joon Ho, let's go.
Joon Ho.
Sit.
Why did you ask for me?
You know I'm straightforward.
I need you to help Seo Jin.
Pardon? I'm helping him as best I can.
I'm talking about his condition.
I can't lose my son twice.
I'm not sure if I'm capable of that.
I noticed something in him.
He's never let anyone get as close to him as much as you.
I don't know why though.
He trusts and relies on you, so there must be a way.
What do you want me to do?
Get him interested in his work...
and look after him well so that...
no one catches on that he's sick.
Shouldn't you be preparing for our meeting?
I've been ready for a while.
I'm waiting on you now.
I see. I'm always the problem.
Did you take your medication?
Yes, I can't ruin an important meeting.
Don't worry. If you ruin it, it's ruined.
How can you say that?
When you're my age, you see that...
other than life or death, no other problems are too serious.
We can always schedule another meeting to sell our product.
Right?
Can't you at least say you trust I'll do well...
even if you don't mean it?
If you get through today's meeting without running away,
I'll give you a huge reward.
You will?
You promised.
- Let's go then. - Wait.
What are those?
My combat shoes. Let's go now.
The product's nice, and the housewives will like it.
Is there another problem?
With this kind of price,
it should go in the golden time slot when lots of women are watching.
The profit ratio you're offering isn't good enough for us.
What level should it be at?
It's your first time on a home shopping channel,
so considering the model and marketing expenses...
About 7-to-3?
That's too...
30 percent's too little for us.
Those are the industry rules.
We can't help you if you can't go with that.
We'll discuss it with our people and get back to you.
Sure.
You did well. Good for you.
I didn't do well at all. I should've been more aggressive.
It was just our first meeting.
Too good a result wouldn't be right.
You didn't leave the room and left a good impression, so we did it.
Will you give me that reward then?
Did you lie?
No. What reward do you want?
Seaweed bean paste porridge?
I can't waste a precious reward like that.
Let's go on a picnic.
A picnic?
Do you want me to make gimbap?
You're always talking about food.
Let's just hang out.
Let's go.
Gosh, Mr. Go.
What's all that?
The costumes you'll wear today.
Costumes? Are they dresses?
Something like that.
Dresses are dresses. How can there be "something like that"?
Let me see.
The sparkly dresses are...
This is almost animal farm...
My gosh.
- Isn't this a chicken? - It is.
You're going to sing somewhere chicken-related.
Wait, wait.
Are you saying I need to wear a chicken mask...
and a furry outfit and sing in that?
Will you carry it then?
I can't do that.
I did as you said and sang at diners, saunas...
and supermarkets holding leeks,
but this is going too far.
You have two options to choose from.
One, go to Cheongdo's cattle market festival...
and sing on the back of a truck in a cow costume for three hours.
Two.
A one-hour gig at a store by the Han River to sell chicken.
Which of the two will you choose?
No way...
The chicken, right?
Now get changed.
What is this?
(Men's shoe locker)
What's the matter?
My eyes must be dim.
Where's 406?
406?
Here it is.
These places are pointlessly complicated.
Right? Let's go inside.
So Young makes me wear a towel like that.
I really don't like it.
Their lives are much better.
We had no time or breadth of mind to do that.
Even if we did,
doing that is a bit too embarrassing.
That's right, Father.
It's just too awkward.
Are you pretending to be old in front of me?
You're still young, so don't be like that.
Do things that are silly or embarrassing.
Have fun.
Yes, Father.
Don't you feel thirsty?
I'll get some sikhye.
No, I'll go.
- No, Father. - It's too hot for me.
I'll get some cool air...
and go to the toilet as well.
Okay then.
What's taking him so long?
Where is he?
Father.
Mr. Baek.
Why are you out here?
My goodness.
Why are there so many people in this tiny sauna?
I went into all the rooms, but you were never there.
My gosh.
I wasn't there?
Is it because I haven't been here in so long?
Let's go inside and eat.
Let's go where it's cooler.
This way.
Did you really not know you were my love?
Now do you get that you're my happiness?
Did you really not know you were my love?
Now do you get that you're my happiness?
We deliver up and down the riverside.
SJ Chicken opened today. Get your fried chicken here.
Cock-a-doodle-doo.
Don't you have friends to come here with?
No.
No?
Are you proud that you have no friends at 40?
I didn't say I have no friends.
None of them have the time to come here during the day.
A friend is someone who shows up when you need them.
Is it a friendship if you meet only when you're free?
Such friends exist?
To me, yes.
Thank you.
That was Oh Dal Sook.
- You're so pretty. - Buy some chicken.
Cock-a-doodle-doo.
- Hey. - Encore.
They want to hear another song.
Sing one more.
No way. I sang five extra songs already.
Applause.
Oh Dal Sook.
You go, girl.
Good girls aren't separate from bad girls
It's all up to the man
You know her?
Yes. She's one of the friends that I told you about.
She shows up whenever I need her.
Jin Ok. I looked so stupid, didn't I?
Not at all.
You're my friend and you were amazing.
Don't you lie.
I'm not lying.
Don't you remember our band days?
We played by ourselves at Yeonan Pier.
There was absolutely no one there.
That's not true. There were so many seagulls.
Right. It was just them and us.
It was freezing cold.
But we were so happy to play that we didn't notice the cold.
We were so happy that we almost froze to death.
You're the one who went up...
in a sleeveless shirt to show rock spirit.
Where shall I put this?
Oh dear. Give me that.
I don't feel cold now.
- Take your coat. - No, it's fine.
Dal Sook, the CEO will chew me out if he catches a cold.
Give it back.
What, is the CEO his mom or something?
Bingo.
Are you a rich heir like from a TV drama?
Not at all.
Put it on, I'm really okay now.
Take good care of Jin Ok for me.
Don't say that. She's a huge help to me.
Let's eat before it gets cold.
The chopsticks...
Mr. Oh, did you not bring any chopsticks?
He must've forgotten.
You get some. I look a right mess.
No, I'll get some.
Is he the nasty employer who fired you twice?
Yes.
He brought his employee out on a picnic during work hours.
That doesn't seem too nasty.
Do you think this is a picnic?
When you're at work, picnics and dinners...
are all part of your workday.
Even if it is part of your workday, isn't it nice...
to meet a friend during work?
The sky's so clear.
My goodness.
This is the place. Where is she?
Who on earth is that chicken?
Honey.
Dal Sook.
Honey.
What is this?
Did you...
sing in this?
Jin Ok said I look great, but I look stupid, don't I?
The scumbags.
They should defend their singers' reputation.
How dare they put you in a chicken...
Let's cancel the contract.
I want to go home now.
I want to take this off.
Okay, let's go.
Don't you cry. Let's go home now. Let's hurry home.
What is this mess?
Will you be careful?
I wondered why people go there with their families.
It's nice and refreshing.
I should take Dae Young.
Do they like going to saunas?
I don't know. I can't say.
So Young and her mom might have gone a few times.
I went a few times with my colleagues back in the day.
I see.
Don't you...
smell something burning?
- A burning smell? - Yes.
I don't smell anything.
I've been smelling something burning for a while.
A lot of fires break out in restaurants.
What if something happens?
I don't see any smoke.
Your senses are too dull for your age.
The smell of burning's everywhere.
Hey.
Something's burning.
Sir.
What do you smell? Nothing here's burning.
Don't you know such insensitivity to hazards can lead to accidents?
There are so many people here.
You should be more careful.
What is wrong with you?
Nothing here smells anything like it's burning.
Father, calm down and go back to your seat.
I can't calm down in this situation.
This is directly connected to our safety.
You people have a serious problem.
Who's in charge?
Let's see the manager.
Father, come outside with me.
I'm really sorry. I apologize.
He'll be fine when he comes back in.
My goodness.
What did she say? Wasn't I right?
Yes.
Something dreadful could've happened if it hadn't been for you.
I talked to the manager.
Good. Very well done.
I have a very good nose.
Shall we go back inside to eat?
Yes, let's.
All that stressing out made me hungry.
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
Hi.
Us? We're about to eat.
Is Dad having a good time?
Really?
Shall I join you after work?
Okay. See you at home.
Who was that? Hyeon U?
Yes. He took Dad to a sauna. He's having a great time.
Is he? How about we eat with Mom then?
Shall we?
Father, do you want some more?
Yes. I feel extra hungry today for some reason.
Get me more rice.
Excuse me.
One more rice please.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
You don't trust me or Dong Hyun.
You trace us, monitor us, and check on us.
You're violating our rights.
I'm trying so hard for you two.
Are you happy?
Mr. Go, why are photos...
and videos of me online?
This is so embarrassing.
I didn't sign the contract to make her do this.
They're making fun of our mom's name.
They're calling her chicken soup...
or broiled chicken.
I'm sorry, Dong Hyun.
I understand, but it's hard to be honest.
Song Joo's too hardcore. I have no freedom.
That's all for your sake.
I want to live with you and Dad.
That's how I really feel.
