(Episode 68)
Bok Nam, are you okay?
Drink some water.
Slowly, slowly.
Are you okay?
I'm fine now.
What are you doing in Jecheon?
The old hair salon was still here.
I peeked inside out of curiosity,
and the women rushed out and screamed at me.
Who'd have thought we'd meet him here?
I know.
Jin Ok said she'll come here to get him.
What did he do...
to deserve to be picked up by his wife and son-in-law?
If you think about it, the reason Bok Nam's getting worse...
is all Jin Ok's fault.
Yes. He doesn't know when to stop because she puts up with it all.
Why does she want us to keep him around when he's a grown-up?
Maybe he did something wrong and ran off again.
- My goodness. - Hello.
What on earth happened?
Why did those women grab you by the collar?
I noticed the old hair salon,
so I peeked inside for memories' sake,
and the women swarmed out...
and caused a fuss.
They thought you were a weird old man.
Do you know that hair salon?
Yes. That place means a lot to me.
I'm sorry to have kept you. Mr. Tak, take them back to Seoul.
No, no. We were going to do a little sightseeing.
It's nice here. The mountains, water, and air is so refreshing.
Yes. If you go over to Cheongpungho Lake,
it'll get even better.
Take your time and look around.
Bok Nam.
Do you have other business to take care of?
I can drive you home.
Why would you do that? I came here to kill time.
Take the two ladies on a drive.
Bok Nam.
I'd like to do that, but I don't know my way around.
This is your hometown.
If you aren't too busy, show us around.
You must have a GPS. That'll do much better than me.
No, Heo Se always gets lost.
Can't you help us out?
Yes. It's nice to see you in an unfamiliar town.
Come with us.
Yes, Bok Nam.
The mood will change with you around.
- My goodness. - Will you come with us?
- Get in the car then. - Come along.
Get in.
Get in. Wear your seat belt.
Why are you so startled?
Well... You see...
Ever since the Louis disaster,
I jump whenever someone comes into the clinic.
I dealt with that problem once and for all.
Is Louis' owner quiet now?
Yes. He didn't call today.
And he deleted his post too.
Tell the director that I'm here.
He isn't with anyone else. You can just go inside.
No.
We should respect the director's privacy.
Soo Mi, I'm not that rude or brazen.
Director, your wife's here.
Tell her to go home.
Honey, I just want to see your face.
I'm at work now. Let's talk later.
I won't take too much time. I'm coming in.
Will you look at me?
I'll tell you again. Don't come here during work hours.
I know you're like this out of guilt.
You don't have to do this.
I'm upset.
If I'd known this would happen, I'd have ignored the situation.
What do you mean?
You're being like this because I settled with Louis' owner.
I know you're treating me like this because you feel bad.
What?
We're married.
I'm partially responsible. That's why I settled for you.
That's why you settled for me?
You're making me look bad.
Did you think I was going to leave it at that?
Are you going to pay me back then?
Of course I must.
I'm not that shameless.
Do you have to care about saving face...
when we're married?
Will you write an IOU then?
Fine, let's write an IOU.
Now I'm really getting upset. Your problems are mine too.
Why should we write an IOU over something like that?
If I were in that situation,
you'd have helped me out too.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
You must know better. You lived in America.
Even if you're husband and wife, monetary issues must be clear.
Do you really think so?
You seem to think I'm all buttered up...
because you solved the Louis problem for me.
Wake up. I'm still angry with you.
If that's the case, I should make you pay for half the wedding.
The wedding?
Sure. Let's calculate everything.
Do you really want to go that far?
Yes, let's do it. Go ahead.
Don't you forget to get everything notarized!
Notarized?
Where did he get the clout to say that?
(IOU)
(Kang Joon Ho)
Here.
Write your name and sign it.
Must a married couple go this far?
Sign it.
I don't want people criticize me for getting an IOU from my husband.
Since when did you care what other people think?
Your collar's crumpled up.
Leave it.
I won't touch you if you don't like it.
I'll go home now.
I'll go to Dad's store after my shift.
What for?
Mom and Hyeon U...
went to Jecheon to get Dad.
They might stay the night.
Does Dae Young not know about your dad?
No. We didn't tell him yet.
Why are you hiding it? The whole family should know.
Mom still can't believe that...
Dad has dementia.
She wants to see Dad, hear about it from him in person,
and then tell Dae Young.
I'm not sure about that.
If I were him, I'd be upset to know...
I'm the last to find out something so important.
My dad wanted to keep his illness...
from everyone but Hyeon U at first.
I kind of understand that too.
If you happen to see Dae Young,
pretend like you don't know.
This is the deed of this house.
This is most important.
Losing this means big trouble, so keep it safe.
Wait.
What are you doing?
Why are you telling me all this all of a sudden?
You said you don't like how I'm in charge of the finances.
I'm handing it over to you.
I managed it until now. Now it's your turn.
Is that why...
you gave all this to me?
Mother, I'm here.
I'm sorry to call you away from work suddenly.
It's okay.
I should've told you sooner.
I should've thought more.
No. I know you tried to tell me many times.
Did you talk to Heo Se?
Yes. Until we get there,
he said he'll keep Father with them.
They must be tired after their gig.
Mother.
Will you tell Father when you see him?
I don't know what to do.
What do you think?
I think...
we should give Father time to accept things.
Can you wait until he tells you himself?
Okay.
I told So Young not to tell her brother.
Good.
We need to hurry if we're to get there before dusk.
Let's go.
Okay. Let's go.
This one?
It must be great to be young.
Hey, we're young too.
You're young if you think young.
I used to think so too,
but that's just an idea.
I realized something for sure while singing.
Even the great Oh Dal Sook is aging.
These days,
after just one gig, I need at least half a day in bed to recuperate.
Even teenage girl and boy singers...
plaster medicinal patches all over after a concert.
So do musical actors. It's not about age.
You can always build up your stamina.
That's not the problem.
What is the problem then?
This is.
The passion, vigor, desire.
Once you lose that, you age in no time,
just like Bok Nam.
I guess.
Bok Nam was quite a nice guy...
when he married Jin Ok back then.
He wasn't nice. He was old-fashioned even then.
He was more mature though.
Didn't he change when he brought Dae Young home?
He must've felt the pressure...
that he had to raise the boy right.
Do people grow old when they become mature?
I think you got that right.
That's why you're still so young.
You have my respect.
I'll take it as a compliment.
Where are Heo Se and Bok Nam?
Did they go bungee jumping or something?
Up there? As if they would.
I'm sure they aren't up there because of Heo Se.
Why not?
He's afraid of heights.
He can't even ride a Ferris wheel.
Then where did all that bravado come from?
There's no way Bok Nam can bungee jump,
so he just showed off.
There's a reason his name means "to show off".
He's so silly.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
My gosh. Darling.
Heo Se. Gosh.
Heo Se. Hey. What's wrong?
I got so nervous.
Why were you nervous?
Hey.
Did you bungee jump for real?
We didn't bungee jump.
We just rode the monorail...
and look at him now.
It was really scary.
It goes up 80 degrees and drops down.
You're the one who wanted to ride it.
It was great fun.
You three have fun. I have to go somewhere.
- No, no. - No.
- You can't go off. - Why not?
Where would you go?
I want to straighten out some things while I'm in my hometown.
Take care.
No. You can't go, Bok Nam.
What's the matter?
Well...
Yes, that. Let's go on a pleasure boat.
My gosh! That sounds like so much fun.
How did you and I have the same idea just then?
Bok Nam.
Does it make sense to come here and not ride a boat?
It doesn't make sense. Come with us.
- Let's go. Let's go. - We're going.
A pleasure boat.
Bok Nam. Must you be like this?
My wife and Mi Rae are waiting for you there.
We might miss the boat. Let's go.
I don't want to get on that. I'll get sick.
Why would you get sick when this isn't an ocean?
Look.
The lake is so calm you could walk on the water.
- Come with me. - What's wrong with you today?
Bok Nam. It'll be fun.
Riding that will make you feel younger.
I don't want to, so you go ahead.
Stop it.
I want to go home too.
But I can't leave you here alone.
Are you keeping me here on purpose?
Did you hear something?
I heard everything.
Did you think I wouldn't know?
How much do you know?
Who told you?
Who do you think told me?
My wife and Mi Rae know as well.
Jin Ok knows too?
She told us, so of course she knows.
Bok Nam.
How old are you?
It's not like you're demented.
Who runs away from home at your age?
Do you feel like laughing right now?
You aren't a child.
You could've at least told Hyeon U where you are.
You stressed out your whole family.
Is that why you were keeping me here?
Jin Ok and Hyeon U are on their way here.
Get on the boat.
You aren't going anywhere until I reunite you with Jin Ok.
Okay?
Stop laughing and come along.
- My gosh. - Hurry.
Bok Nam, isn't this just amazing?
It is nice.
I can't believe this is your hometown.
It must've been nice growing up here.
I wonder...
how many more times I'll get to visit.
Why would you say something like that?
You can visit over 50 times.
50 times?
Scenery like this requires music.
Who do we have here? Singer Oh Dal Sook.
Hey, I'm no singer.
Why aren't you? You just had a gig.
Sing something.
I can't sing here.
Come on.
Oh Dal Sook.
Okay then.
Shall I take some requests?
Sing an old ballad that suits this lake.
A ballad?
- I prefer modern pop. - Pop?
What would you prefer, Bok Nam?
I only know old songs.
Right now, I want to listen to Na Hoon A's "Parents".
- "Parents"? - That song popped up in my head.
Do you know that song?
"Parents"?
That's not in my repertoire.
It is if the audience wants it to be.
A repertoire isn't that fancy.
How about some applause?
- Come on. - Oh Dal Sook.
- Okay, okay. - Oh Dal Sook.
Wait, you need a mic. Here.
I'm singing this because Bok Nam is here.
When the autumn leaves
Fall from the trees
Hey, you're here.
Dae Young. You listen to this kind of song?
I found it in the drawer when I was organizing it.
It must be Dad's.
I know this song.
Dad sang it sometimes...
when he was drunk.
I never heard it once.
What's wrong with Dad anyway?
He left home and made us worry.
Mom's busy with work, and he's ruining that too.
I don't get Mom either.
Why did she go to get him?
Isn't it enough to know where he is?
Aren't you worried about Dad?
I'm more worried about Mom.
I'm worried she might quit a career...
she just started.
What if...
What if that actually happens?
Then I'll move out with Mom.
How can you say that?
It's just an idea I have.
I have to deliver these and go straight to tutor someone.
You close up the store. Okay?
Okay. I'll close the store,
- but Dae Young... - You might not get it,
but I...
owe Mom a huge debt.
That's why...
I'll do the best I can.
For Mom.
- A debt? - I'll tell you next time.
Bye.
My gosh, what?
Bok Nam, you grew up in Jecheon.
Why did you never ride something this nice?
Don't be silly.
How could I have when this lake didn't exist when I was a boy?
Was this lake not here back then?
No.
It appeared after I went to college...
when Chungju Dam was built.
I told myself I'd visit once,
but I never got to.
Why was I so busy?
If I'd known it was this nice,
I'd have brought my mom before she died.
Yes. When your mother was alive,
she'd sit us down and talk about Jecheon.
She'd have loved it if she were here with us today.
Honey.
I'm home.
Dong Hyun?
When did you come home?
Just now.
No, you can stay in bed.
I'll take a short break and go to class.
Why are you hiding those?
I said I wouldn't scold you anymore.
Here, eat this.
- Eat up. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Sure.
I haven't seen those before. Are they new?
Isn't this the brand that everyone's talking about?
It's a bit too expensive for you to afford.
The car owner from last time bought them for me.
The car owner?
Oh, that teacher?
Yes. He gave them to me through Mom...
saying he was sorry.
Did he?
How does that teacher know your mom?
He's mom's vocal coach.
Her vocal coach?
When Mom took a break from musicals,
she took lessons from him.
Mom said he was really scary.
He's actually really nice in person.
Is he?
What? You don't want the sandwiches?
I'm going to get some juice.
Right, I forgot.
I'll get it for you.
Take this off right now!
Ma'am, I think there's a misunderstanding.
Why don't you talk it out?
It's none of your business.
There was a reason it was his business.
Dong Hyun. Why are you looking around?
I'm not sure if we're allowed to eat things like this.
Come on. I told you not to worry.
Song Joo can't spy on us now.
She doesn't call you often, does she?
No. She even took a nap today.
She took a nap?
She scorned that, saying it was lazy.
Is she sick or something?
She's not.
She was so fast asleep, she didn't even know I'd come home.
She definitely has changed.
We'll see. Only time will tell.
Dong Hyun, you can't eat all that!
I'm off to class.
That kid.
What are you doing here acting like a child?
What?
Did you leave home last time because you were a child?
You weren't able to find me. But I found you.
That makes me better than you.
Stop talking nonsense and go home.
I'll stay here a bit longer.
What was the trouble you got into?
I was looking around my old neighborhood,
and I found the hair salon.
The hair salon?
The one my sister worked at.
It's still there?
Yes.
I was so pleased that...
I peered through the window, and the women...
made me look like a weird man.
I guess that's just what you looked like.
How could you?
You've done enough. Come back home.
You call it your hometown, but you don't know anyone here.
I'm going to sort out my mom and dad's graves while I'm here...
and have them cremated.
I'll come home when I'm done.
Don't cause a fuss and go home.
I'll help then.
I looked after them all my married life.
I didn't think there'd be more to do after they died.
You said you wanted to divorce me.
Go home. I can manage on my own.
Even if we get divorced, she's still my mother-in-law.
Let's go. I'm hungry.
Mr. Baek skipped lunch to come here.
Jin Ok.
It'll be so late by the time you get home.
You must be tired. I'm sorry for the nuisance.
It's okay. We got a good look around Jecheon.
Yes. We even got to ride a pleasure boat.
She even sang on the deck.
The scenery was so nice that I couldn't help but sing.
You should've been there to see it.
I don't know how Dal Sook kept it in all these years.
- Ladies, can we please go? - Okay, okay.
Jin Ok, have a lovely night.
- Don't be silly. - That hurt.
It's not like that.
We're staying an extra day to sort something out.
You had so much to do together,
and we overstayed our welcome, didn't we?
Bok Nam, you will be nice to Jin Ok, won't you?
Yes. Get home safely.
Bye, Bok Nam.
- Bye, bye. - Let's go already.
Let go of me.
I checked the reservation.
I'll drive you to the hotel and then go home.
No. I know my way around Jecheon.
We'll take a taxi. Leave before it gets too late.
He's right. So Young will be worried. Go home.
Will you be okay?
I'll be fine. Don't worry.
I'm tired. I want to rest,
so don't bother us anymore. Go home.
Go home.
Is this it?
Mr. Baek says...
this hotel has the best view in Jecheon.
It looks really expensive.
You should've refused when he suggested this place.
Did you say yes?
I'm paying to...
spend a night with my wife, so don't complain.
Don't worry.
Mr. Baek didn't pay for a thing.
How much is it per night here?
We never got to stay at a hotel or go on a honeymoon...
because you suddenly got pregnant.
We should get to stay here at least once before we die.
How much is it per night?
What are you looking at?
The water's lovely.
You should bathe too.
Is it that nice?
It's good to have money.
It's a lot to blow on one night,
but everyone else enjoys this.
One night isn't such a big deal.
Of course not.
How did you never get to stay at a place like this in your life?
It wasn't just me. You never got to either.
Never mind me.
- What's wrong? Are you tired? - Yes.
Heo Se dragged me around all day.
I'm exhausted.
Then sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the couch.
No, no. I'll sleep here tonight.
I've stayed in places like this on business trips.
Hotel beds are nice. Sleep well.
So Young told me to...
accept your generosity without complaint.
She's right.
You used to complain if I did something for you...
and complain if I didn't do anything.
Okay then. I'll accept this night of luxury.
Don't change your mind later.
It's so nice.
(Hotel)
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Don't I look amazing?
Won't the composer feel so inspired?
This is Yeomchang-dong's synthesizer Mr. OK Kim.
This is singer Oh Dal Sook.
Nice to meet you. I'm OK Kim.
Director, I'll take the day off.
A day off? What day off...
during an emergency?
Do you want to divorce me? Shall we really break up?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything.
Don't abandon me.
