(Episode 82)
Mister. It's been two hours already.
Someone's on the way.
Give me some time.
I'm sorry. I can't do that anymore.
But...
Wait!
Get that woman to sort it out.
Why did you call me?
Am I a troubleshooter? Santa Claus?
I called her, but she didn't come.
You called, but she didn't come?
She needs to be taught a lesson.
I'm sorry.
Lady. I just had some soup and rice because I was hungry.
I didn't do this on purpose.
Did you have to glare at me because I couldn't pay?
I'm sorry.
The economy's tough,
and a lot of people eat first then say they can't pay.
My gosh.
It's wrong to eat if you can't afford to pay.
Let's get out of here. What a nuisance.
What kind of an educated woman does something like this?
Isn't she stupid?
If you force someone into a corner,
you only want to retaliate.
Even if she comes begging, I won't forgive her.
What'll happen if neither of you give in?
What else?
We'll continue this way until we're both ruined.
Song Joo won't fall to ruins that easily.
You'll be the only one to be humiliated and lose everything.
Do you think I won't fight if I lose everything?
I won't stand still.
She can corner me without a way out.
The mouse will be forced to bite the cat.
I'll bite her really hard.
You're really determined.
How couldn't I be?
I'll die or at least faint trying to get a divorce.
You're scaring me now.
This is all your fault if you think about it.
What are you saying? Why is it my fault?
This happened because you divorced me.
Am I wrong?
This is where I sleep at night.
Must I sleep in these conditions?
I'm going to stay at your place now. That's final.
Kang Joon Ho!
Where are you going?
At least turn the lights off.
Hey. Wait for me!
You should go to your home.
Why come to mine?
Song Joo threw me out.
I'm going all out.
If you want me gone, call the police.
I'll do what I want.
Are you taking out your frustration with Song Joo on me?
Why are you doing this to me?
I told you.
You two women ruined my life.
You still have years more to live. Why is your life ruined?
Look at the state I'm in.
I don't care. I'll shower and sleep here tonight.
You'll shower here?
Here?
Is he actually going to stay?
You can't!
Why are you here again?
Where's Dong Hyun?
Did you come to take him?
He said he won't go with you!
I'm not here to take him,
so keep your voice down. I'm not deaf.
Then why are you here?
Let's sit down.
I'm exhausted.
Make some coffee. I need caffeine.
Give Joon Ho back his clinic...
and bank accounts.
Why should I?
Do you want him back, or do you want his money?
I'm doing this to stay married.
Why do you think I'd go this far?
Then give everything back to him.
Joon Ho's really determined.
You're just driving him away.
He'll never come back.
Did you meet Joon Ho?
He was being held at a restaurant.
Why didn't you go and get him?
Did you go?
How couldn't I?
He'd end up at a police station if I didn't.
You're driving me crazy.
You're ruining all my plans.
What? What plans am I ruining?
I'm cornering him as best I can...
to make him come back to me.
He keeps calling you, and you help him time and time again.
That's why he's not coming back to me.
You're really something.
I saved your drowning husband and instead of thanking me,
you're blaming me because he's not coming home?
What planet are you from?
What do you mean? I'm from Earth.
No one on Earth is as weird as you.
I don't care.
I just need Joon Ho and Dong Hyun.
I think you're very mistaken.
Considering how things are,
there's no way Joon Ho's coming back. You need to wake up.
You should wake up...
and leave Joon Ho alone.
He won't surrender because he knows he can fall back on you.
What a headache.
I need to lie down until Dong Hyun comes home.
Leave me alone.
Where are you going?
My head hurts.
I can't believe a PUO's giving me such a hard time.
PUO? What does that mean?
"Previously unheard of". A weirdo.
Can we please live an ordinary life like everyone else?
I'm a weirdo, so don't lie in our bed.
Hey!
Why did you scream?
Get out. Just get out.
Okay, okay.
She's such a troublemaker.
My gosh, my head's splitting in two.
Save me...
Where's Dad?
He just went home.
Did he?
Hyeon U.
I'm glad you're on your own.
Were you outside because of Dad?
I had no choice.
My goal for today...
is to make him let me stay for some tea.
Is that possible?
Based on Dad's reaction,
you might not even get a cup of water.
We have to put on a show so he can't chase me out.
How?
I need your help, Dae Young.
What?
Dad, Dad. Mom!
Hello.
What's the matter?
What's going on?
That's not important.
Let's get them inside.
Right.
Come this way.
Put him on the bed.
- What? - Hyeon U and Dae Young...
are putting on a show, so Hyeon U can stay.
What?
So go in there and play along.
Compliment Hyeon U and stuff.
How desperate must he be to think of putting on a show?
Bear with me.
I made a delivery on the bike when...
all of a sudden a kid showed up.
I couldn't swerve,
so I fell over and twisted my ankle as I landed.
You should've been more careful.
That's when Hyeon U showed up.
I'd still be in the road if it hadn't been for him.
Gosh, he saved you then.
I guess you were destined to meet our family.
Did you have dinner?
No, but I'm fine.
Bring him some tea then.
Can you walk?
Yes.
Shouldn't you see a doctor?
He died when I started middle school.
My mother raised me on her own.
It was hard on her.
They say things happen...
just when life gets better.
It's really true.
Just when I got settled,
my mother fell ill.
Oh, dear.
She got sick. What did she have?
A brain hemorrhage.
Really?
She should've gotten help right away,
but she was alone and she got to a hospital too late.
Oh, dear.
She survived, fortunately,
but she was bedridden for 12 years.
She passed away three years ago.
That must've been hard on you.
I took care of my mother, who had dementia, for over 10 years.
I know how you feel.
That's why he's still single.
He's so popular at work.
He plays the saxophone...
and plays for charity to help children with heart diseases.
Does he?
Could you play on my 70th birthday?
Of course, Father.
What's wrong?
Hyeon U...
told your dad all that before you got married.
Yes. The day he first visited us,
they sat on that couch...
and talked.
He's sitting in...
the same spot telling the same story,
and your dad's there acting like he's never heard it before.
Tears just welled up.
I looked after your grandma for 10 years and it's still unfamiliar.
I'm scared, Mom.
What if he doesn't recognize me later on?
We should take care of him so that doesn't happen.
You're So Young's superior and Dae Young's senior?
But not a doctor.
He's a head nurse.
He helped So Young a lot when she first started.
Oh, I see.
So,
how old are you?
I'm 45.
What?
45?
You cradle-robber.
How dare you want to marry someone 20 years younger?
You thief.
Darn you.
You're the worst kind of thief ever.
Get out of my house.
- Honey. - Get out!
Go.
45 years old? Get out.
Goodbye.
Come here.
Where do you think you're going?
Hyeon U.
What is he thinking?
Hi.
I don't mind.
Don't worry about me and calm Father down.
How will you manage when it's so cold outside?
Wait a bit. I'll come out.
Where will you go?
I haven't visited Heo Se and Dal Sook in a while.
I'll be with them.
Call when Father goes to bed, and I'll sneak in.
Okay, bye.
Life is full of ups and downs.
I was so pleased when I got the offer to become a singer...
after dancing at Il Lan's audition.
Who thought I'd lose the house?
That's why...
they call life a roller-coaster.
We tumbled downhill,
so we'll go up, right?
You bet we will. We must.
If not, I'll find that hill.
Don't you worry.
I hope so.
I really do.
Who's that?
We're meeting the creditors tomorrow.
Is there a debt you didn't tell me about?
No, I told you about everything.
Gosh.
Hello, Hyeon U.
- How are you? - Hi.
What are you doing here at this hour?
- Hi. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hi, girls.
Come and sit.
- Thanks. - Sit down.
Why do you all look so down?
Take these and eat them upstairs.
Go upstairs.
Is something wrong?
Actually,
we have to move out tomorrow.
What do you mean you must move out?
I don't know. Ask him.
I borrowed a lot of money from everywhere...
trying to make her a star.
We lost everything.
What?
So you have to sell this house too?
My mother-in-law doesn't seem to know.
She's having a hard enough time with Bok Nam.
Why would I tell her?
Father...
just kicked me out of the house.
- What? - You got kicked out?
What do you mean?
Is it because of his dementia?
Yes. He doesn't recognize me.
Is it that serious already?
Other than not recognizing me,
he's fine with everything else.
Does he not know you're his son-in-law?
That's right. So I'm trying to get him to let me marry So Young.
It's not easy.
You fought so hard to marry her once,
and you're doing all that again?
Should I laugh about that or cry?
I need to get his permission,
so I can stay close and look after him.
I'm worried.
Both families are a mess.
Where will you move to?
We found a studio apartment.
We'll have to share a tiny space for now.
A studio apartment?
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Why don't you stay at my place?
What?
So Young and I moved in with her family...
to look after Father.
We know about that,
but is your place still empty?
Yes. We didn't rent it out in case we changed plans.
Hyeon U, thank you so much. This is great.
They say there's always a way out.
Hyeon U.
- Thanks so much. - Sure.
- Thank you so much. - We should help each other.
Why did you sleep for so long?
- What time is it? - 10pm.
What? How many hours did I sleep for?
It's your old place. You must've felt comfortable.
Where's Dong Hyun?
He'll be in bed.
He had exams until today.
Aren't you hungry?
I am, of course.
Cook me something.
Okay.
Wipe the drool from the side of your mouth.
What?
I drooled in my sleep?
There's nothing there.
How dare she tease me?
Do you enjoy teasing people?
How else would I get to tease you?
You can be cute sometimes,
and you can be charming in your pajamas,
and you can cook. All that is great...
Stop right there. I know what you're going to say.
That's me, so what can I do?
Why do you live in a pig sty?
You're right.
We all live to our strengths and weaknesses.
Have you heard from Joon Ho?
No.
He won't call you.
Give him back his clinic and accounts.
He needs to be able to breathe.
Then talk to him from your heart.
Using an IOU to keep a man who doesn't love you...
is like a castle made with sand.
I don't care if it's a sand castle.
I just want Joon Ho.
If he leaves me,
I might die.
I feel so sorry for you too.
I don't care anymore.
You can fight all you want. I'll take Dong Hyun with me.
I don't want him staying with...
a woman who made Joon Ho penniless.
You can't take him.
If Dong Hyun leaves, I'll be left with no one.
You're not alone.
Your mom's in America.
Fly her over to live with you, or you can go and live with her.
I'll never go back to America.
Did you commit a crime there?
I just prefer Korea.
If you're living in such a great country,
get your husband who's at my place and live with him.
Is Joon Ho at your place now?
Yes. Please pick him up.
I won't take him back unless he comes begging.
What?
Fine. Then I can live here with you.
There's enough space and I feel at home in my old home.
The ex-wife and second wife can live together.
Let's see what the neighbors think.
I'm not the second wife, I'm his current wife.
Oh, whatever.
If you won't take Joon Ho back,
I'll live with you instead, so it's up to you.
It's so barren.
There must be some ramyun.
There's nothing here.
Who has nothing to eat at home?
How long has the water been in there?
She hasn't changed even after the divorce.
Still, you're the only one I can fall back on.
Hello.
Not you again. Go away.
Father.
You've walked around enough. Now you can jog lightly.
How do you know I've been walking?
I know you have dementia too.
How do you know that?
Did So Young tell you?
When you were diagnosed, I was with you.
I suggested that you exercise in the morning.
I taught you to play the guitar.
Don't you remember?
How dare you keep calling me "Father" and tell lies?
Do you think I'll let you marry So Young?
Get away from me.
Mr. Tak's moving today.
Mr. Tak?
The estate agent?
Yes.
How do you know him?
He's my cousin-in-law.
Oh Dal Sook, your wife's friend...
is my cousin.
Really?
So,
why are they moving?
Ask him yourself.
He sold his office too.
Mr. Tak sold his office?
What are you talking about?
He didn't say anything to me.
(Tak Entertainment)
What happened?
From what I heard,
he spent too much trying to make Dal Sook a singer.
That was stupid of him.
Trying to make his old wife a singer.
One should live an ordinary life.
What do you mean Dal Sook's moving?
They spent more than they had trying to...
make her a singer at her age.
I knew they were in debt, but they're moving too?
She didn't tell me anything.
Are you kidding me?
I was just at Heo Se's old office.
The space is empty. There's not even a desk.
- Where are you going? - To see her.
Dad. Did you not see Hyeon U?
Is it true that...
he's Heo Se's wife's cousin?
Yes. How do you know that?
Bring him over this evening.
Dad.
Instead of Dad,
I'm eating breakfast with two moms.
Can you explain what's going on?
So, what happened was...
Mom.
- Yes? - Yes?
Mom, what's going on?
I'm not sure. Ask your stepmom...
why this happened.
(Jin Ok)
Hi, Jin Ok. You're calling early.
Why is Dal Sook moving?
What?
What do you mean they lost the house?
What? They lost everything?
How come...
Okay. My goodness.
My gosh.
Make sure that doesn't break.
Okay.
- The kids' rooms are upstairs. - Okay.
Go and get their belongings.
What is going on?
You should've told us about this.
It all happened so soon.
There was no other way but to sell the house.
My gosh.
Heo Se, what's going on?
Things happened.
Go to the kitchen.
I can't believe what's going on.
Dal Sook. What happened?
Why is everything packed in boxes?
Mi Rae.
I lost everything.
Hey.
You didn't say you'd lose the house.
You should've told us it was this bad.
In just one day...
Do you have a place to go to? Did you find a place?
Hey, you can live with me.
My house is empty. There's room for your furniture.
They're going to Hyeon U's place.
What about Hyeon U?
He moved in with us to look after Bok Nam.
Did you...
lose the whole house? Everything?
We worked so hard to buy this house,
and we lost it overnight.
Why is this happening and on Christmas Day too.
You're right.
It's Christmas Day.
This is a Christmas nightmare.
What should we do with you?
What now?
Don't cry.
Are you very upset?
I just don't think it's right for you to stay on...
the district council after what happened.
I'm not upset.
I don't want to be a parasitical politician.
If I'm not good enough,
I should give up this badge without regret.
That's the right thing to do.
You're awesome, Dad.
Okay. You're taking responsibility, so I will as well.
Mom, don't give up being a mom.
You idiot.
I'm the reason we lost everything, so I should make up for it.
I won't give up on becoming a singer.
I'll find a composer to give me a song...
and find my own gigs.
You'll do that on your own?
How will you manage?
I can do it.
Don't worry about me.
Until you can afford to open your own estate agency,
work at another one for a salary.
You have lots of clients.
Yes, I do.
I was an agent for 20 years.
Don't worry about the living expenses.
I'll study hard so as not to disappoint you.
I'll study applied music...
and follow you, Mom.
You needn't worry about us.
My sweet twins.
More than anything,
I'm so glad that you aren't letting this get to you.
- Dad's crying again. - Come here.
You silly man. Give Dad a hug.
You crybaby.
Goodness. We sold out again.
Thanks to your support,
we have sold out once again.
Thank you. Thanks so much.
Thanks for yet another miracle.
Have a nice day.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Well done.
- Well done. - Great job.
You were amazing.
- Thank you. - Well done.
You're so good at this.
I'd love to give you a hug, but I can't.
Well done.
It's all thanks to you.
Don't say that.
You're in charge of everything now.
You gave me free rein to do what I want,
and I know you're fighting to keep the prime-time spot.
I shouldn't be CEO if I don't even do that.
I guess you're right.
I'm not saying this because he's my wife's cousin.
He's a really great guy.
Why was such a great guy unable to get married until now?
It's not that he couldn't. He didn't marry.
You heard his story.
Hyeon U, your mother.
Did she die three years ago?
Yes. I was her only son,
and no one else could look after her.
My father died and then...
my mother had a brain hemorrhage.
I turned 40 in no time.
- Right. - I guess,
that's possible.
You've been through a lot.
- Have a drink. - Thanks.
Where are your manners?
You can't put down a glass an elder gave you.
- Pour me a shot. - You're not well.
You can't drink.
I still have to drink something.
I'm meeting my daughter's boyfriend for the first time.
Pour me at least a few drops.
I can't not drink anything.
Then let's just pretend.
He knew Jin Ok from way back when.
I guess he was meant to be your family.
Jin Ok?
You didn't know?
They knew each other.
They were like each other's first love.
What?
First... First love?
Who cares?
It's not like anything happened.
- Father. - Dad!
- Father. - Bok Nam.
Father?
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Let us date at least.
It's a match made in heaven.
Why don't you just give permission?
I'll let you date.
Seol Song Joo. If you want him back, free him.
What if he gets the money and asks for a divorce?
Let's eat out tonight.
Be ready for my call.
Dal Sook's too talented.
I want to give another go.
I'm really grateful,
but we can't pay you.
I know you're penniless. Would I ask for money?
