(Episode 79)
My gosh.
Father.
Who's your father? You scumbag.
Wait, wait. Father, Father.
Just a moment. Put that down.
Will you hear me out?
What could a thief have to say? What excuse do you have?
Father!
Why you sneaky...
- Father. Father, wait. - You thieving jerk.
- You little... - Dad, Dad.
What are you doing? Calm down.
Calm down?
So Young, get away from him.
Call the police, Jin Ok.
Honey. What did Mr. Baek do wrong?
"Mr. Baek"?
I'm your husband and not him.
Dad, this is Hyeon U.
Hyeon U?
Do you know him?
What?
It's true, believe me.
I came here for work and was just leaving.
Don't you lie.
What's a colleague doing here in pajamas?
Tell the truth.
Who let you in here?
Are you here for my daughter?
Dad.
I know him well too.
So he slept in my room last night.
Right?
Yes. My brother-in-law...
No, I mean... Dae Young and I had a few drinks,
and I came down to drink some water as I was thirsty.
You're so silly.
You should've just told me if you were thirsty.
Earlier you said you were here for work.
What's this about having drinks?
The thing is,
our work ended so late.
He'd missed the last train, so I told him to stay the night.
They must've had a drink seeing he'd be staying over.
That's right.
I even got them some food from the fridge.
Why don't I remember seeing him last night?
That was because...
while you were asleep, So Young...
I mean Dae Young. Dae Young let me in.
That's why.
I got off work so late last night.
I apologize.
Why would you call me "Father"?
You look like you're around my age.
It's fine now. Go back to bed.
Okay.
What now?
That man.
Did he go to Dae Young's room?
Yes, he did.
So Young's in your mom's old room.
He looked quite old.
Was he not able to get married?
Why is he sleeping over at someone else's house?
He must've had his reasons.
Honey.
Have you really never seen him before?
Of course, I haven't.
Why? Did the fool say he saw me before?
Oh, come on.
Don't call So Young's senior at work a fool.
I just thought that I'd seen him somewhere before.
Before? When?
Maybe at your mother's funeral.
What was that noise?
What did you hear this time?
Kim So Young.
Where are you going?
I have something to get from my room upstairs.
You can't walk around like this when...
a strange man is staying the night.
He's not a strange man. He's my senior from work.
That's why you should be even more careful.
It takes a man to know one.
I have a feeling about him.
Go back to that room.
Go back inside.
If you're done, come back to bed.
This won't do.
I should stand guard.
Are you going to stay up here all night?
Don't you worry.
Go to sleep.
What about your father?
Is he down there?
Yes. He'll be there all night.
It can't be helped.
I'll have to sleep here with you.
Is that okay?
How can you smile?
Dad doesn't recognize you.
What else can I do but smile?
What's going on?
The doctor said his cognitive ability had improved.
Did you notice anything strange recently?
He'd been doing really well. He didn't fly into a rage.
So I thought he was better.
Now he doesn't recognize you.
It's me he doesn't recognize, not you, Mother, or So Young.
Isn't that a relief?
I've only been a family for a few months now.
He might not recognize me.
Dementia destroys the newer memories first.
He can forget his son-in-law any time,
but it would be too sad if he forgot his family.
Last time, he failed to recognize So Young.
That was because she looks a lot like her late aunt.
The people that...
Father loved and the memories he cherished.
Let's help him so he forgets nothing else.
You were calm and reacted very well.
Keep doing just that.
If he forgets me,
I'll try getting his approval to marry So Young again.
What?
You'll ask to marry So Young again?
If he can't remember me, that's the only way to...
join the family again.
That won't be easy.
I should be prepared, right?
Mom, we're going to work.
This early? Without breakfast?
We're leaving early...
in case Dad tries to hit Hyeon U with a ladle again.
It's not for fear of getting hit.
We have early-morning training.
I'm so sorry that you didn't get much sleep.
Have some bread at least.
We'll eat at the cafeteria.
- We're late. - Bye.
It's winter. Dress warm.
It's stuffy to wear too many layers.
That was nice.
Good morning.
Fa...
No. I mean, sir.
Are you crazy? Why are you calling me "sir"?
Did you hurt your head?
You really did.
Did someone hit you?
Dad. Do you not remember?
Last night...
Last night?
Did something happen?
Nothing happened.
I bumped my head on something.
You're so clumsy.
You said you're late. You should go.
Right. See you.
Goodbye, Father.
Okay.
Keep your wits about you.
I will.
He's old enough.
I love the sight of the setting sun.
It seems lonely and forlorn.
I thought you'd understand the feeling.
I do.
Now I like the sunset more than the sunrise.
Get a grip, Mi Rae.
You can have no more men in your life.
Rice balls in case you prefer rice.
And...
canned beer, which is a must, and chocolate.
And a portable heater and socks in case it gets too cold.
Tell me if you need anything.
Why did you bring socks?
To put them on your feet. Do you want them now?
Gosh, no. I don't need socks.
It's nice to see you smile.
I want to do everything for you.
Will you give me a chance to do that?
Don't get the wrong message.
At first, even Joon Ho...
smiled like that.
What's this smell?
Oh, dear. My gosh.
What's going on?
Why is this acting up too?
My gosh. They're all burned.
Just look at this. I knew it.
Mi Rae, you never cleaned this since you bought it, did you?
It just heats sliced bread.
What's there to clean?
Mi Rae.
Whether it's a toaster or a person,
if you want to keep it around for a long time,
you need to do something called maintenance.
Tap out the breadcrumbs that gathered at the bottom...
and wipe it with a dry cloth sometimes.
My gosh.
The 5,000-year breadcrumbs fried the sensor and timer.
Throw it away.
Why should I throw it away?
I'll keep it and get it fixed if I can later.
It can't be fixed.
Joon Ho's good at fixing things like that.
I'll ask him...
Hey, will you get back together with him?
What are you saying?
Why would I go back to him?
Then why would you ask your ex who's selling the apartment...
to get divorced to fix your broken toaster?
What? He's selling the apartment?
Did Song Joo say she'd divorce him?
She said she won't until he pays back everything he owes her.
Even if he sells the apartment and closes his vet clinic,
he can't make enough.
Joon Ho's about to lose everything...
and end up homeless.
My gosh. The idiot.
What happens to Dong Hyun if they really split up?
I'll bring him home, of course.
I should've from the start.
You weren't in your right mind then...
because of Baek Ho.
Now Master Sagong's a problem.
I'm going to see him today...
and put an end to it.
You'll put an end to it?
Yes.
If that's what you want to do, go home first.
Sleeping and eating here won't change anything.
I'm appealing to her how determined I am.
Director, it's all good to be determined,
but it's December.
It'll only get colder.
Is that why? I slept in a sleeping bag,
but the cold seeped up from the floor.
Should I buy a small space heater?
You don't sleep well at night,
or eat well either.
You could catch a cold.
Even if I catch something worse than a cold,
I won't give in this time.
I need you to help me too.
What can I do?
If Song Joo calls you,
tell her that I'm doing just fine.
She hasn't called once.
That's why I said, "if".
Soo Mi.
Close the door, I'm cold.
It's freezing.
Will the director's strategy...
work on his new wife?
I think he's sorely mistaken.
That's right.
The director's asking me for help.
Why did I get that just now?
(Soo Mi)
Hi. What's going on?
I think the director's very sick.
So what?
The thing is, the clinic's not heated at night.
I think he slept here again last night.
So what?
I'm just worried about Director Kang.
Soo Mi.
Everyone has a free will,
and with that comes responsibility.
Thanks for your concern, but this is between me and him.
I don't like having to hear about this from a third person.
Bye.
I don't know what it means
But the charm makes me feel better
Try it yourself
Close your eyes
And mumble to yourself
Just go on living
You get used to it
If you go on living
You get used to it
Well done.
I didn't imagine that your voices...
would go so nicely together.
Thank you.
Mi Rae's a good lead, and I just followed her cues.
No, I still have a long way to go.
Yoo Seob and I are barely able to sing in harmony now.
Director, you said that...
a song without emotion is just a noise.
Master Sagong's pretty amazing.
Pardon? What did I do?
I've known Mi Rae for over 20 years.
I've never seen her so humble.
Does love change someone so immensely?
Director, it's not like that.
That's right.
It's unrequited love from my part.
Anyway, it's a nice sight.
Come in.
Hello.
Where's the director?
The stage manager called, so she rushed out.
Come in and sit down or leave.
Make up your mind.
I'm too distracted to focus on the music.
What was that about?
You embarrassed me in front of the people way younger than me.
Did you enjoy doing that?
You felt embarrassed?
Is it an embarrassment for me to like you?
Just stop.
Not anymore. Don't like me anymore.
A promise is a promise.
We only went on one date.
There's two left.
Not even a thousand dates will change my mind.
Let's not waste our time.
I will decide if it's a waste of time or not.
Fine, let's go on those dates.
Let's get them out of the way.
Must you put it like that?
It's not like homework. Why get it out of the way?
It is like homework to me, so I want it over and done with.
But...
where we go and what we do.
I'll decide on that.
Why are you gawping?
We're outside your place.
Yes, this is my place.
Let's have a date here.
I don't think we're close enough...
to visit each other's home is what I'm thinking.
I said I'd get the dates out of the way, not you.
Don't worry and come in.
But I...
- No way. - No way.
Welcome to my abode.
Do you have plans to move to a new house?
Why? Because it's so messy?
Well...
Nothing seems to be in its right place.
That's not true.
It may look messy and confusing,
but there's a rule and reason to why everything is where it is.
So don't you dare step on anything.
Okay.
What do I have in my fridge?
- Follow me. - Okay.
I told you not to step on anything.
- Come on. - Sorry.
I'm not in the top 100 trot songs.
I saw that.
There's a problem with promotion.
What problem?
What about all the people you and Heo Se met?
Mr. Tak's out to see someone from a broadcasting station.
If you wait a bit...
If I wait, will things get better?
I just got an important call. I'll call you back.
- Mom, Mom. - Mom, Mom.
Must you two make me feel even worse?
Do you know what we just saw?
What did you see?
We saw Master Sagong with Aunt Mi Rae.
So what?
"So what?"
They were together.
Master Sagong is Mi Rae and Mom's vocal coach.
So what if they were together?
They weren't just with each other.
They both went into Aunt Mi Rae's house.
What? They went into her house?
Exactly. Isn't that crazy?
They're dating, aren't they? Did you know already?
It's over. She's done for.
"She's done for"? What do you mean?
I'm saying Mi Rae just got rid of a blessing coming her way.
I have a headache. Poor me.
Master Sagong, will you still date me?
Do you want to leave?
You can't stand the mess, can you?
What do you mean?
I'm just getting used to the place.
I'm very hungry. Is there anything to eat?
I don't know. I don't cook at home.
I had a toaster, but it's broken.
Shall we order in?
Chinese? Pig's feet?
Just name it.
Is there nothing in the fridge?
Not at all. Other than eggs and kimchi.
That'll do.
You didn't tamper with the fridge?
What?
What's this? You said you had lunch plans.
It got called off at the last minute.
You should've called me so we could eat together.
Why? Finish your meal.
No, I'm done.
Thank you.
Ms. Cha.
Yes?
Are you angry with me?
No, I'm not.
What's the matter?
You don't joke or smile.
Do you think so because we're nervous about our show?
I'm not acting too differently.
I wonder why you thought so.
Is your husband not doing too well?
Director.
I'm grateful for your concern for me,
but I feel uncomfortable when you mention my husband.
From now on, if possible, I don't want to...
discuss my private life at work.
I'm sorry.
I just asked because you don't look too well.
If I don't look too well, I'll make sure to change that.
I'll go to Dodo to see Ms. Noh.
This is the only thing I can cook.
Here. Try it.
It's delicious.
You've made this before.
I've never eaten straight from the pan though.
My gosh.
Kimchi fried rice tastes best when scraped...
straight from the pan. Didn't you know that?
All your bowls were in the sink,
so I had no choice,
but I admit that it's tasty.
"I admit that it's tasty."
I always wondered. Why do you talk like that?
I grew up in a household where...
there were more don'ts than dos.
From the minute I wake up and until I go to bed, I cannot lie down.
I wasn't even allowed to think about...
slander or badmouthing.
I cannot listen to bad things.
I cannot go out unless I'm properly dressed.
I cannot use slang or bad words.
How can you live like that?
My grandfather was like that.
"From good behavior comes good sounds."
I grew up thinking just so.
I thought everyone lived the way I did.
I must've given you a huge shock then.
You did.
I still haven't recovered from it.
I know.
I'm a difficult person to deal with.
It's tough to admit myself,
but I'm divorced with a kid...
and you were never married.
More than anything, our styles clash,
and you just abhor people like me.
Don't you?
Are you done talking?
What if I am?
My grandfather said that...
what's more important than a good sound is a good heart.
"A song from a heart with no lies rings true."
What does that have to do with this situation?
You know,
I've never seen such a messy house before.
It's the first time to eat straight from a pan.
But I like it.
It's comfortable.
The more I know you, the more charming you get.
What?
Are you crazy?
Are you going out?
Yes, to Tak's Real Estate.
I'm going to sign a contract. I'll be about half an hour.
A contract?
Someone willing to buy my apartment's waiting for me.
Is that a good thing?
Of course, it is.
I was thinking of renting it out if I couldn't sell it.
It's a huge relief.
If Song Joo calls, say you don't know where I went.
My gosh. The naive guy is...
still waiting for her to call.
(Tak Heo Se)
Heo Se, I'm...
What are you doing here?
Who said you could sell the apartment?
Where's the buyer? You said they were here.
You should've discussed this with your wife...
before putting it up for sale.
It has nothing to do with her.
I said I'd pay you back once I sell the apartment.
Do that if you can.
You don't need to mind her.
Where's the buyer?
They left already.
Here.
Read this first.
(Provisional seizure)
Provisional seizure?
Hey! Seol Song Joo!
I told you to sell it if you could.
Why that...
I showed the couple this certified copy of the register...
before signing the contract.
That's when I saw this in your wife's name.
This wasn't there yesterday.
I know.
I called you to ask if there was a mistake,
but you didn't pick up.
I left in a hurry and must've left my phone.
So I had no choice but to call Song Joo.
I needed to check the facts.
She offered to come over here to make things very clear.
So the buyers left?
Yes.
You put me in a really tough position.
I'm sorry.
- Wash your hands... - Why is it seized?
Explain.
Don't you know what it means?
Creditor Seol Song Joo...
took action to make sure that...
debtor Kang Joon Ho will pay what he owes.
And to prevent something like this.
I need to sell the apartment...
to pay you back.
So cancel the seizure.
Why should I?
Even if you sell this apartment,
minus the loan, you'll get just 200,000 dollars.
What about the rest of what you owe?
I said I'd do anything it takes to pay you back.
Like what?
Will you sell your clinic too?
Minus the deposit, maybe...
No, you'll still need another 100,000 dollars.
I'll pay the rest in installments.
While living on a salary?
Yes. I'll pay you off!
How can I believe that?
Just pay me at once.
If I do, will you divorce me then?
Unlike you, I don't lie or change my mind.
Bring me 400,000 dollars.
Then I'll sign the divorce papers.
Fine. You just wait.
Heo Se.
- Be quiet. - Gosh.
What are you doing?
Sit down.
It's so dark. Can't we turn on the lights?
Just sit down first. Sit.
What's going on?
You saw what's going on.
I can't stand another day with her.
I must end it with her right away.
Which is why,
like I said last time,
can you...
I don't have any money.
Don't say that.
I'll take out another loan next month to pay you back.
- Can you lend me a few grand... - Just a moment.
Hello?
What? My office?
Joon Ho, I'm really sorry.
I have to go. Sorry. I'm so sorry.
Heo Se.
- I'm sorry. - Heo Se.
Be quiet. Gosh.
What's going on?
Hey. Are you Tak Heo Se?
Are you Tak Heo Se?
N... No.
- Are you? - No. I'm not.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Jin Ok, congratulations.
I was moved to tears.
I got here thanks to your trust and support.
Like you saw, I'm in deep trouble.
I can't help you.
Try to make things work.
Did you try living with a woman with delusional jealousy?
People who haven't can't understand.
He has absolutely no memory of Hyeon U.
I'd like to marry So Young.
How dare an old man wants to marry my daughter?
