(Episode 80)
(Tak Heo Se)
Hi, Heo Se.
It's me. Open the door.
Where are you?
Outside your clinic.
Okay.
My gosh.
- It's freezing cold. - Heo Se.
My goodness.
What... My gosh.
Oh, dear.
Don't you have something?
Like a space heater?
I just huddle up in my sleeping bag.
Get a heater or something.
- Gosh. It's so cold. - It's freezing.
My goodness.
Heo Se.
What was all that about earlier?
I'm sorry about that.
Because of you, I almost died then.
Did they hurt you?
How much did you borrow that...
even loan sharks are after you?
I can sort it all out tomorrow.
Like you saw, I'm in deep trouble.
I want to help you,
but I'm in no position to lend you anything.
I'm sorry.
I had high hopes that you could help me out.
Director Kang.
It's not for me to say,
but try to make things work.
At least you don't have to worry about money.
That's a huge blessing.
Don't say that if you haven't lived with someone like her.
How can you stand someone who tortures you every day?
How did we end up like this?
You got here...
trying to help your wife do something.
I'm in this horrible mess because of my wife.
It's a problem if you love your wife too much,
or if you hate her.
I guess people say a couple that lasts are just close enough...
and just distant enough for a reason.
Heo Se, will you please say that to Song Joo?
Sit down, So Young. I said I'd make breakfast.
I'm just helping out.
It's so nice that you two cook dinner,
but I feel bad.
Why would you feel bad?
We all live together. Of course we must help.
Don't say that.
You don't live here because you want to.
It's because of your dad.
Hey.
What's he doing here?
- Father. - "Father"?
Why would you call me that?
- Dad. - Dad.
I told you he's my superior.
What's he doing here so early in the morning?
Dad, I told you he's So Young's superior...
and also a senior that I know.
A senior?
Do you think I don't know what you're up to?
Aren't you here because of my So Young?
He's not, Dad.
You're right, Father.
I love So Young.
I'd like your permission to marry her.
Hyeon U.
Now you show your true colors.
How old are you?
I'm 45.
45?
Do you know how old my wife is?
She's the same age as you.
How dare an old man wants to marry my daughter?
Get out.
Get out. Come on.
- Dad. Dad! - Dad. Dad!
Get out!
- Get him out of here. - Stop it, Dad.
Dad, what are you doing?
Stop it.
Get up, Hyeon U.
So Young!
Are you crazy?
He's So Young's superior and Dae Young's senior.
He's our guest!
How could you treat him like this?
He wants to marry So Young!
If you don't like him, just say no.
Why must you embarrass us?
He was here yesterday and today.
If I don't chase him out, he'll be back tomorrow.
I'll talk to him. Go to your room.
Go inside. Dae Young. Go on inside.
It's okay.
Sit down. Let's sit down.
Hyeon U.
I'm sorry.
Don't say that. I'm okay.
You do the most for him out of all of us,
and he doesn't seem to know.
I'm so sorry.
It's fine.
I'm more worried about him.
Why does he not remember you of all people?
When he didn't recognize me yesterday,
I explained everything to Dae Young.
Dementia...
destroys your latest memories...
and brings your old ones closer.
Hyeon U and I haven't been married for that long.
Then he'll continue to have no memory of you. What then?
We can't live like this.
I'll make an appointment.
I'll have Dae Young take Father to the hospital.
What then?
Will he be able to remember you again?
First, we have to check the state he's in.
What if he still doesn't recognize you?
I'll ask him...
for permission to marry again.
Again?
Hyeon U.
He can't remember me,
so that's the only way to become part of this family again.
We barely got permission the first time.
What now?
This time,
it might be easier now that you're on our side.
How can you smile when your father-in-law wants you gone?
I have to.
I'll go straight to work.
- Okay. - Let's go.
- Take care. - Bye.
Look after him.
I'd have cried if I had to eat on my own,
but it's not too bad having you as a comrade.
Why are we comrades?
Are we fighting for independence?
You are.
I guess you're right.
What'll you do now?
Me?
It's him.
Hi, Mr. Han.
Yes, I called you.
Hey.
Can you lend me one more bill?
What? I'll sort it all out next month.
Don't worry.
Really? Then wire it straight to my account.
Okay, thanks a lot. Okay, bye.
I'm safe.
Heo Se, are you borrowing from others to pay back?
There's no way out now.
This is my only option.
What'll you do later on?
What are you going to do?
You have a rich wife waiting at home.
Why are you doing this?
My gosh.
Don't give yourself a hard time in the cold...
and feign defeat and go home.
You're spoiled rotten, you know.
Did you try living with a woman with delusional jealousy?
People who haven't can't understand.
The phone is turned off. You're being connected to voicemail.
- Please leave... - Why did he turn his phone off?
What did Mr. Go say?
He doesn't know anything.
It's Dad.
Why is your phone...
What?
Right now? Okay.
What did he say? Is he in trouble?
It's not your dad. It's Mi Rae.
I have to go and help her out.
Finish breakfast and go to school.
- Okay. - Okay.
The phone is turned off. You're being connected to voicemail.
Please leave a message after the beep.
You can't reach her?
Now her phone's been turned off.
You don't need to worry.
- Hurry! - My goodness.
Get her sorted out.
It's okay. Calm down.
We're in the clear.
Are you looking for something?
Where's the remote control?
The remote for the TV.
- The TV remote? - Yes.
What about this?
Put the Dodo Home Shopping channel on.
Dodo Home Shopping?
The hot summer of August seemed like yesterday,
but it'll be Christmas in a few days.
- This Christmas... - That product...
is what kept your mom working late for so long.
- To all the women who worked hard, - Oh, I see.
Give yourself a gift.
I'll show you something lovely.
Let me show you how to use it.
A gift from the present you to the future you...
to make you more beautiful.
Isn't that a great idea?
(Sold Out)
My gosh. Our show's not even over yet, and we sold out.
That's right.
We sold out already,
and we still have 10 minutes to go.
I think that's the biggest gift I'll get this year.
Listen. The Christmas miracle isn't over yet.
- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.
Here, drink this.
Are you my manager for the day?
Yes. Though it ended before it began.
You were my manager for my TV debut.
You looked pretty amazing today.
I'm always pretty amazing.
I just can't get a compliment in sideways.
I think Jin Ok's way more amazing than me.
One gesture from her...
and the whole crew got moving.
Did you see that?
That's nothing new.
Jin Ok was our band leader,
and she was amazing since then.
Hey. Jin Ok.
Congratulations.
I was moved to tears when I heard you'd sold out.
Thank you. I owe you both.
I know why you owe me,
but what did Dal Sook do?
Hey, you brat. You'd have been a no-show if it hadn't been for me.
You always got us in trouble...
for being late in our band days.
Why are you still so consistent after 27 years?
Did you have to say "always"?
One would think that's true.
I'd have given up long ago if it hadn't been for you two.
I got here thanks to your trust and support.
Jin Ok, your director's feeling left out.
You should thank him too.
No, I'm the most grateful one here.
In that line, I'd like to buy you all lunch.
Thanks for the offer, but I'm sorry.
I have to go now.
Girls, eat enough for me too.
I have to go.
Well done, Jin Ok.
Bye.
What's going on?
Heo Se didn't come home last night.
I wired you the money long ago.
Check before calling me.
I said I'd send it to you over the weekend.
You didn't believe me and sent thugs over?
People come before money. It's not the other way around.
Forget it. Bye!
Mr. Tak. What are you really thinking?
Don't you worry.
I can sort it all out when this album becomes a hit.
If this is how it was received, that means it's a flop.
Has it been a week or two since the album dropped?
Stop jinxing our own work...
and think of a way to get people interested.
I did everything,
- and it's still... - You stop it.
My gosh.
Hello, honey.
"Hello, honey"?
That's it?
Do you know how worried I was?
Where were you all night?
Blame it on the alcohol.
Come and sit down over here.
He went drinking with some broadcasting station people...
and the mood was great.
He drank all night and just came in.
Why did you keep your phone off?
My phone, well...
See, during work meetings,
it's basic manners not to take private calls.
I should have texted you,
but I just didn't have a chance to.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Honey, do you want a coffee?
- Mr. Go. - Okay.
What? An Americano? Hot?
So, doctor.
Do I have to take these pictures often?
Why? Did you feel uncomfortable?
It's not really that.
But you said last time that I'd improved.
Why did you take more photos?
You did well in your cognitive tests,
so I requested the photos to confirm that.
I had no idea. I see now.
Your son is quite handsome.
I'm not saying this because he's my son,
but I just can't find fault with him.
He studies medicine at Goyeon University.
Does he?
Mr. Kim, do you have only one son then?
He has an older sister.
She works here as a nurse. Nurse Kim So Young.
You must've met her.
But then, you must meet...
so many people and you might not remember her.
Yes, Nurse Kim So Young, I think I remember her.
At the time,
I think she was accompanied by Nurse Baek Hyeon U.
Who's Baek Hyeon U?
Her senior from work.
He was at our place this morning.
What?
That monkey?
Was Nurse Baek at your house too?
I'm a bit embarrassed to say this,
but my dementia isn't the biggest problem.
That male nurse is the problem.
Why?
What did Nurse Baek do?
My daughter's 25 years old.
That Baek Hyeon U guy says he's 45.
That old fool came into my house...
to seduce my daughter.
He's the worst cradle robber if I've ever seen one.
It's such a huge problem for me.
Gosh, I'm really impressed.
A small cosmetic company's product...
selling out on Dodo's prime-time slot? That's a first.
It was all possible because you supported us the best you could.
Thank you.
So, we already have the next broadcast scheduled?
Yes. Dodo made us an offer first.
There's still a lot to do.
I hope it all works out.
What's this?
I'm sorry, ma'am. It's my letter of resignation.
Ms. Cha.
I'd been thinking about it all along.
I was going to quit if the broadcast was a success.
Why did you bring this to me?
Give it to your superior.
My husband is sick.
Mr. Oh won't accept my resignation saying...
it's best that I work.
I'd like you to accept it.
I can't.
I have no right to now.
I stepped down.
Pardon?
I had a hard time filling in for Seo Jin.
I did a poor job and almost ran the company into the ground.
I couldn't trust Seo Jin,
and I had my doubts about you.
But today's home shopping broadcast proved me wrong.
Ms. Seo.
I'll appoint Seo Jin as the new CEO.
That means you must take over the home shopping project.
Of course, you'll be promoted.
Ms. Seo, I...
I know better than anyone how hard it is for...
a housewife to get this far.
But having your own job...
has that much value.
I'd like you to reconsider.
I'm saying this for your sake,
but for my son's sake as well.
1,407 dollars. See? I'm right.
- See? - You're amazing, Dad.
You got your math brain from Dad.
It's not just that.
He looks like me from head to toe.
That's not true.
Dae Young doesn't look rough and tough like you.
You don't believe me?
When I was his age, everyone said I was good-looking.
What's your dad talking about?
Am I right or not?
You're right.
I married you because I fell in love with your eyes.
Sit down here.
I heard you scored big.
You sold out on the home shopping network.
Doesn't that company give you a bonus?
I got the bonus, of course.
I was even offered a promotion.
A promotion?
I thought you just ran errands and washed cups,
but you must be doing something right.
Yes. Your wife's good at something...
other than cooking in a kitchen.
If I'd known you were that competent,
I'd have sent you out and made you earn money.
How dare you say that?
From now on, do what you want...
and don't give up for my sake.
Don't give up then blame me.
When did I blame you?
Didn't you?
Didn't you blame me in front of the kids?
That you spent your youth slaving away for your in-laws?
Did she say that or not?
Well, it is a fact.
Don't do that anymore.
You're still young.
What if I were to get sick and die? What will you do then?
Having a job would make things a little easier.
Honey.
Don't give up anything on my account.
I won't thank you.
I'm hungry. Let's eat.
Who is it this late at night?
Sorry. It's a spam text.
Darn it.
Again?
I should get a new number or something.
This is so annoying.
Where are you going?
I'm going to the toilet.
Mr. Kim.
We've known each other for years.
What you're saying really hurts.
Mr. Kim, can you give me a week?
No, just one more day and I'll...
Hello? Hello?
Darn it.
Mr. Kim, if you hang up like that...
No, I'm not making excuses.
I promise you.
Whatever happens, before noon tomorrow...
Hello?
- Darn all this... - Honey.
Yes, Dal Sook.
What's going on? Is something wrong?
No, it's just a scheduling issue.
I can sort it out. You don't need to worry.
Is this...
about the debt?
We can pay everything back when your album becomes a hit.
I told you not to worry, so don't worry.
See this?
We're getting calls already.
Go back to bed while I take this.
Go to bed. Go on, go to sleep.
Go, and stay in there.
This is crazy.
(Gana Capital)
(Power off)
Where did he get to?
Honey.
Did he go out without saying?
He wouldn't do that.
The phone is turned off. You're being connected to voicemail.
Please leave...
It can't be helped?
Like Hyeon U said,
Dad has...
absolutely no memory of Hyeon U.
Other than that,
everything else is fine.
"Other than that"?
He can't recognize his family.
We're all helping him...
which is why he can still function.
But...
the gradual...
memory loss...
can't be controlled.
Then...
can it get even worse?
No.
I won't let that happen.
Dae Young.
I'll protect him.
Dad...
and his memories.
So...
don't you worry.
Soo Mi.
I'll be in my office. I won't see anyone other than patients.
Anyone without an appointment can leave.
What? I have to say that?
Stop.
I'll say just one thing.
Come home.
This is my last offer.
I'll say...
one last thing.
No. I won't go home even if I pass out here.
The only think we have left to talk about is divorce.
You'll regret this.
As if.
What's clear is that I can no longer live with you.
You refused the offer.
I won't be responsible for what happens next.
What a joke.
Stop making threats and get out.
I can't live with you anymore.
I won't come back if you beg.
Don't you regret saying that.
I won't. I won't regret it!
Hello? Come in.
What's this? Who are you?
What...
Oh, dear.
My gosh.
Why do you keep coming here?
Say what you want and leave.
- Mi Rae. - What?
Is he...
good to you?
Who?
Master Sagong?
Don't ask. It's none of your business.
You're right. It's none of my business.
What right do I have?
Why are you like this?
Is something wrong?
Mi Rae.
I'm so sorry for everything.
I can't...
come back to you now.
Did I say I'd take you back?
I never said that. What nonsense is this?
Live happily ever after with him.
I wish you be happy for the both of us.
What stupidity are you spewing now?
This life is a failure.
I ruined it.
What's the matter?
Stop beating around the bush and go straight to the point.
The thing is...
Dong Hyun.
Where are your manners?
How dare you barge into my house?
Where's Dong Hyun? Dong Hyun.
Dong Hyun.
What are you doing?
What about Dong Hyun?
Where is he?
Don't you know his schedule?
He has basketball today. Why?
As of today, he's staying with me.
Why would you take him when he has me?
Joon Ho's not here.
When the dad's not here, he should stay with his mom.
I'm his mom too.
You can't have him.
Tell the truth.
Do you really want to keep him because you're his mom?
You're keeping him to get to Joon Ho. He's a hostage.
How can you say that?
It is partially about Joon Ho,
but I'm doing my best as his stepmom.
I'm doing so much for him.
You can't talk so badly about me.
Come and sit down.
This is my house. Act like the guest you are.
Do you act like a guest at mine?
Stop complaining and sit down.
I sat down. Now what?
What is it you really want?
How many times must I tell you?
I want a happy and perfect family.
You don't want a happy family.
You want a family that you like that suits your standards...
and moves the way you want.
Unless you want it to end in divorce,
forgive Joon Ho and take him back.
Or make it a clean split.
I didn't say I wouldn't take him back.
I begged him to come home, but he just won't give in.
What kind of surrender do you want?
Should he kneel and beg?
Not just that. He must do worse.
You're really weird. Do you know that?
Must you crush the pride of the man you say you love?
Must you shackle him like that?
Yes. He drew his sword and tried to fight me.
That's why I'm fighting.
I'll change him completely.
Watch and see. I'll turn him into a perfect husband.
You mean a husband that suits you perfectly.
That would be even better.
Nothing in the world is perfect.
I don't like myself sometimes.
How can your husband always please you?
Stop being so silly...
and patch things up with him.
Or you'll really regret it.
Regret this? I never will.
Why should I do as you say anyway?
Don't listen if you don't want to.
It's your life anyway.
I'm taking Dong Hyun with me and that's that.
Who says you can take him? You can't.
- Get out. Go. - Hey.
Hey. Let go of me.
My goodness. Why are you so strong?
I need to take Dong Hyun.
You can't take him.
- Let go of me. - No.
Let go. Let go. Let go.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Why did you bring him with you?
Father, let me have her. I want to marry her.
What? You thieving jerk.
A private loan? What...
He got bank loans, credit lines,
and even maxed out his credit card loans.
What do you mean you might lose the house?
Where did Heo Se get to?
Go home. You can't run away forever.
What if the creditors hurt Dal Sook or something?
Will they scream for money?
Your accounts were seized, and you can't run your clinic.
What are you going to do now?
