(Episode 83)
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.
He's okay now. It came out. It's out.
- Sit back down. - Sit down.
- So Young, water. - It came out.
Okay.
Bok Nam, are you okay?
My gosh.
Drink some water.
You'll feel better after a short break.
Thanks.
I could've been in trouble if it hadn't been for you.
I did what I had to.
That's not quite right.
If it hadn't been for you, Bok Nam could've died.
You saved his life.
Bok Nam, it's a match made in heaven.
Why don't you just give permission?
Yes, Dad.
Let us date at least. Please?
Father, I won't let you down.
I'll keep trying until you like me.
Well...
Be cool about it and give your permission.
Okay. You two.
I'll let you date.
Father, thank you. Thank you, Father.
Hyeon U.
(Master Sagong)
Hello?
Isn't this Ms. Nam's phone?
It is.
Hello, sir. I'm Dong Hyun's stepmom.
Oh, hello.
Why did you answer Mi Rae's phone?
Oh, I see.
What? Me?
No.
You don't have to thank me anymore, Ms. Seol.
Goodbye.
What Ms. Seol? Is there another...
Hey. Why were you talking to her?
I'd like to know myself.
I called your number,
so why did Dong Hyun's stepmom pick up?
She answered my phone?
That's fine. You can leave your phone at home.
But what is that woman doing at your place?
She isn't at my place.
I'm at hers.
Her place is your ex-husband's place.
Did you...
get back together with your ex-husband?
Don't you know me better?
I hate revivals more than anything.
Whether it's a performance or a person, if it's over,
I don't look back.
That's a relief.
Don't worry.
What did she say to you anyway?
Her online post about you.
To thank me for not suing,
she wanted to invite me over.
Hey. What is it you want?
You know better than anyone what it is I want.
Yes, I do.
It's to live with Joon Ho happily until you die.
Then sort it out with him...
who's squatting at my place.
Don't waste time inviting people over.
Why do you think Joon Ho's at your place?
You froze his assets and made him penniless.
No. Joon Ho still has feelings for you.
I said I won't take him back.
It's not about you. He still has feelings for you.
There's only one solution.
It's for you to get lucky with Master Sagong,
so Joon Ho has to give up on you.
If he gives up on me, things will work out with you?
Yes, that's it.
Seol Song Joo.
You shouldn't corner people until they have no options.
If you want Joon Ho back, free him.
What if he gets the money and asks for a divorce?
This apartment is the only thing he can sell.
You had that seized.
400,000 dollars isn't a small amount.
Where could he get that much?
He won't even take my calls.
"He won't even take my calls."
My gosh.
Why do you think that is?
(Love Animals Hospital)
Why are you so late?
I dropped by Dad's clinic.
I was there yesterday and today.
It's closed.
Did he close his vet practice?
Why would he do that? He must be taking a break.
Will you not let him back?
Your dad?
I don't even know where he is.
Who is it now?
Dad.
Are you okay?
You said you'd stay. Why are you here?
What's all this?
Did you leave home to live like this?
Don't worry.
I'll get things sorted soon.
Are you two having fun together?
It's not us 2. It's us 3.
Three?
Is your mom there too?
You didn't know?
You're living with your mom and stepmom?
Yes. Until you come back home,
Mom said she won't leave.
What? She left me here...
and went to stay there?
My goodness.
- Honey. - What?
- Who is it? - Don't get scared.
We're done with all our creditors.
Don't worry.
You... Mr. Go.
How did you...
find where we're staying?
You could've told me if you'd be moving.
Did you know how hard I looked?
We had too much on our minds.
Why are you really here?
You know,
I've been thinking.
I can't give up like this.
You can't give up?
Dal Sook's too talented.
I want to give another go.
I'll do everything in my power...
to make you a star, Dal Sook.
I'm really grateful,
but we can't pay you.
I know you're penniless. Would I ask for money?
If and when we make a profit, pay me then.
Mr. Go.
Mr. Go. Sir.
Thank you so much. Thank you, Mr. Go.
Let's work hard together and make this work.
- Okay. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- I'll work hard. Thank you. - Thank you.
- Don't worry. - Honey.
Why do you always come here after work?
I came here to see you.
Welcome, Mister...
Welcome, Hyeon U.
Did you have dinner?
Not yet. I was hoping to eat your food.
I made crab stew.
Oh, that crab stew?
It was really delicious.
You had crab stew at ours before?
When?
We ate that together on a date.
- Right. - Wait.
So Young, do you visit his place too?
You said they could date.
A dating couple can visit each other's place.
Why would you complain when they're both adults?
You must be hungry. Come and eat.
Okay. I'll wash my hands first.
Did you just see that?
He acts like he lives here.
My goodness.
You gave them permission to date.
Why are you like this?
I gave permission then out of relief and gratitude.
Honey.
He saved my life that evening.
So I blurted out what I didn't mean.
I'm like this because I have dementia.
What's wrong with you?
He was your friend.
Are you okay with this?
That's why I was so against their marriage.
You just...
talk to So Young so she understands.
Couples no longer break up because their parents disapprove.
Then stop him from coming here.
He acts as if he's our son-in-law already.
I can't stand it.
Tell them to date elsewhere.
He taught you to play guitar...
and played go game with you too.
Does twinging some guitar strings cure dementia?
Forget it.
And go game gives me a headache.
They're planning to...
coerce me to get me to give in.
No way.
Why are you going to bed already? You haven't had dinner yet.
I'll eat after he's gone.
You talk to him.
Stop him from coming over.
Where's Father?
He's asleep. Sit down.
You must be hungry.
Thanks.
It looks good.
I'm so upset.
You don't deserve this.
I'm grateful he didn't kick me out today.
I thought all you needed is permission to marry.
It's getting worse.
I guess he didn't like me much after all.
I have no choice but to keep trying.
Mother.
I need your help.
Don't you disapprove of me now.
I complained enough to last a lifetime then.
I'm done with it.
You're right.
We can't live like this forever.
I like the thrill.
How can you joke right now?
We have no choice but to smile.
After Father goes to bed,
I'll go to Dae Young's room to sleep.
I'll hide your shoes.
Early tomorrow morning, before Father wakes up,
I'll sneak out.
- Keep your shoes upstairs. - Okay.
I'll do that.
Good morning, Father.
Will you really...
Father, it's getting very cold.
Jog lightly today.
Afterwards, I'll take you to an amazing soup restaurant.
Come with me.
It's so cold. Let's go.
My goodness.
Who is that? My gosh.
Darn it.
It's freezing cold. Let me in.
It's so cold.
Here, take this.
I'm bankrupt...
and staying at my wife's cousin's place.
Do I have to shop for a friend who left home?
Will you please pull yourself together?
This is some sight.
You're just as bad as Mi Rae.
How can someone live like this?
What's so bad about this?
I can do what I want now.
- Sit. - Okay.
Hey, hey.
You can't drink beer on an empty stomach in the morning.
I have nowhere to go, and nobody wants me.
Who cares if it's morning or evening?
Hasn't Song Joo called?
Don't even mention her.
What about Mi Rae? What'll she do?
I don't know.
She won't come home until I leave.
She hasn't called since then.
I think that...
Mi Rae...
doesn't have even a tiny bit of love left for you.
Mi Rae and I have known each other for over 20 years.
She wouldn't come to pay for some soup if she didn't care.
Why did she leave you here then?
Without a call?
She must be busy preparing for her musical.
She won't take my calls either.
It's so obvious already.
She has no intention whatsoever of getting back with you.
So don't dream of...
Why won't you pick up?
It'll be that Seol woman.
It's not. It's Mi Rae.
Is it really?
Hello?
Why did you call? I said I have nothing to say.
Talk to Song Joo.
Sure, let's meet. I have something to say too.
Come to the restaurant we went to often.
Don't you be late.
Sister, what do you want for dinner?
Oh, that. Let's eat out tonight.
Eat out? Why would we do that?
I'm sick of your cooking.
What do you want?
If you don't want Korean, I'll cook something else.
Don't bother. Just get ready and come out when I call.
What about Dong Hyun?
He's going to a friend's to work on a project.
He'll have dinner there.
He didn't say that to me.
He wouldn't.
Why would he tell you when I'm his mom?
Did you have to say like that?
You happened to come to me
Gosh, it's cold. It's freezing.
Where were you until now?
I went to get groceries.
I filled the fridge up yesterday.
How come there's nothing to eat already?
Housework is like that.
That's why I don't nag you.
You came home after midnight.
Why are you up already?
Sleep in and recharge for your gig today.
The weird thing is, I'm not tired at all.
How is that possible?
You used to stay in bed until the next day just after one gig.
You and the kids are struggling because of me.
I should take responsibility.
It's not like it was your fault.
It was because I got out of control.
You did all that for me.
So it's my responsibility.
I won't let anyone down.
You know I do what I set my mind to.
Mr. Go said that...
I'm the most energetic singer he's ever dealt with.
You would be.
Where's Mr. Go now anyway?
He's out meeting some TV and radio people.
To promote my album.
Don't even mention that album.
That stupid album got us in this mess.
People like the songs a lot when I sing at gigs.
They don't like it.
They just stare because they can't believe their ears.
Don't sing anything from that album.
Not even "Tied with Gold Thread"?
Not even that.
Erase your first album from your mind.
I've already forgiven you
I've already forgotten everything
I said that
And held you tight
We must be really, really happy
- Get inside. - It's so cold.
It's freezing.
Shall we have some hot soup on the way back?
No. I'll eat at home.
Mr. Tak said...
he'll make some refreshingly hot bean sprout soup.
Does your family know what you're up to?
No, I haven't told them yet.
They don't even know I quit Go Entertainment.
What?
Who's this?
This is Go Ji Myung.
What?
Mister... Sir!
We just added another seat to our usual table.
I'm so sorry there's nothing much to eat.
Why didn't you...
make a reservation at a nice Korean restaurant?
He wanted to avoid loud noises and crowds.
But still.
Why?
Is it not to your taste?
No.
I suddenly...
thought of Genie.
What?
There are things you can't get in life
My Genie really liked bean sprout soup a lot.
What a joker.
What tortoise eats bean sprout soup...
I'm so sorry...
about Genie.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Mal Sook.
It's not Mal Sook. It's Oh Dal Sook.
What is this?
It's a song for you.
What?
The song you sang at...
Genie's funeral.
How did you get that idea?
Anyway, that song...
made me feel much better.
After some time passed,
I realized what I'd done wrong.
Genie was your only family...
and I stepped on her...
I did something so horrendous and tried to...
dupe you with another tortoise.
- I deserve to die. - Right.
You are...
the first person to...
admit her as family,
which is ironic.
The video of the funeral you held for her...
made me realize that you were sincere.
It won't...
bring Genie back, but...
Anyway,
thank you.
I'm sorry.
That's why...
I thought...
I should give you this song, Mal Sook.
Here. Take it.
Thank you. Thank you, sir.
- Thank you. - Sir.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Sir.
We have no money.
We can't record an album.
It can't be helped if it's never recorded.
That song is yours, Mal Sook.
- Sir... Thank you. Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you, sir. Thank you. - Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you, sir. - Sir...
I can't believe we met.
Why do you look like a beggar?
You made me like this.
Why are you here?
Don't pretend you don't know.
I don't know how you found out,
but I have no business with you.
I'm here to talk to Mi Rae.
Get lost before things turn nasty.
I'm here because Sister and I made plans.
What?
My gosh.
Song Joo's willing to patch things up with you.
Stop fighting over ego and pride.
Talk to each other honestly.
Hey.
Why do you care where I eat and sleep?
Bye.
My gosh.
Master Sagong.
Everyone else went out to dinner. Why are you here?
You aren't coming?
They left already?
Are you still a loner?
What do you take me for? It's not like that.
Today's dinner is my treat.
Then why are you still here?
Self-control and humility.
Those are the qualities I lack.
I thought I'd end up getting helplessly drunk.
I just gave them some money.
I'll just practice.
I have nothing but self-control and humility.
Will you have dinner with me then?
You're a bit too late. I'm going to Dal Sook's recital.
Dal Sook's performing? Where?
Do you want to come too?
Love has no reason
Stay right where you are
Don't go any further
I will suffer for you
I love you forever
How was that?
I decided to change my perception about the trot genre.
What?
Such a cheerful melody and rhythm can carry such mournful lyrics.
I was deeply moved.
Were you really? Thank you.
What did you two think?
"The love that made me live". I almost cried at that part.
It's so nice.
It tugs at your heartstrings.
This song will be huge.
I didn't think much of Genie's dad, but he's good.
When will you record it?
Well...
As you know,
we have no money to record an album.
You have your own song, but you won't release an album?
That's fine.
Albums don't need to cost a fortune.
We can produce it.
How?
Right now.
Let's go.
My goodness.
Since we met each other, let's talk.
I have nothing to say.
Look around.
How can we talk with red stickers everywhere?
You're mistaken if you think we can talk this out.
I will divorce you no matter what happens.
Why are you staying at Mi Rae's?
She doesn't want to get back with you.
It's all your fault.
I can't stay at home or here.
Where am I to go?
I went too far by closing your clinic.
I'll give it back.
What do you mean?
If you want to reconcile, wake up.
That's not what I mean.
You need to make money if you're to pay me back.
I'll release your accounts too.
Then release the apartment too.
Not that.
How am I to trust you with that?
I knew it.
That's what you're like.
You'll make me work...
and keep an eye on me for 24 hours.
No. Will you trust me?
I have a condition then.
Don't come to my clinic.
Will you come home then?
Didn't you hear what I said?
Whatever happens, I'll divorce you.
As soon as I can access my accounts,
I'll find a place to stay.
Once I do that, Mi Rae will go home.
Sister will leave?
Of course. You and her are polar opposites.
You two can never stand each other.
Stand over here.
Give me your coat and bag.
Are you ready?
Give it your all. Good luck.
The love that made me live
Love has no reason
Stay right where you are
Don't go any further
I will suffer for you
Sister.
Why did you turn it off? It's nice.
What got into you?
Stop drinking and clean up.
What if Dong Hyun comes home and sees you?
Dong Hyun?
Oh, my Dong Hyun.
Sister. Do you know that...
I can't go a day without him?
Don't you lie.
More like you can't live without Joon Ho, Dong Hyun's dad.
It's the same thing.
There's no Joon Ho without Dong Hyun.
Kang Joon Ho.
Love of my life.
That jerk.
Hey.
Could you not work things out?
He said he'll divorce me even if...
I give him back his clinic.
Of course he would. Guys have pride.
Did you think he'd bow to you if you released his finances?
That wouldn't be manly, I guess.
It was nice to see him again.
But my heart broke.
He hadn't shaved, and his skin was so rough.
It's such a pity I must see this alone.
Thank you, Sister.
What gave you the idea to set up a meeting?
What gave you the idea to invite Master Sagong here?
He likes you.
Stop getting involved.
I've had enough of men for my lifetime.
That's a lie.
You can't live on your own.
Why can't I live on my own?
You can live a perfect life with...
the man you love and a child.
Why wouldn't you do that?
That's the way to be happy.
Who says a husband and child makes life perfect?
You have that. Is your life perfect?
Look around. Is this perfection?
If you can't be happy on your own,
you can't be happy with anyone.
If you can't be happy on your own,
you can't be happy with anyone?
Yes. Will you please think?
Sister.
If Joon Ho leaves your place,
will you go back?
Of course I should. Isn't that obvious?
Don't go.
What?
Don't go.
Don't go. Don't go.
What?
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Your mental arithmetic and spatial cognition have all improved.
Why can't I recognize my son-in-law?
Mother, what should I do now?
I told you not to come here.
You're in debt, and I'm your creditor.
I need to do this to take what's mine.
What a loan shark.
I'm sorry for everything.
Dad. Can we get married then?
Hyeon U, well done.
I didn't know "Mr. Baek" was such an endearing term.
