(Episode 87)
(Ms. Cha Jin Ok)
(Ms. Nam Mi Rae)
Shouldn't she sleep in on holidays?
Where did she go so early in the morning?
(300,000 dollars)
Did she...
Where did she go after cooking breakfast?
Don't worry and eat breakfast with Dong Hyun.
I cooked seaweed soup.
Seaweed soup?
Why seaweed soup?
Is it her birthday?
Who is it so early in the morning?
Why are you here so early?
Because I have business.
I won't talk to you until you divorce me.
If it's not about that, leave.
I came to give you something.
What?
Is it the money? I won't take it. Keep it.
I will divorce you.
The divorce papers. I signed them.
Really?
(Divorce Notice)
Will you really divorce me?
- Yes. - This easily?
I think I can manage without you now.
I don't need you anymore.
Hey, Song Joo.
Hang on.
It's me. Song Joo's not normal, is she?
Why? Was she there to see you?
Yes. She just left, but something's off.
What did she say?
She gave me the divorce papers.
She wouldn't give in so easily.
It was so easy, I'm not sure if it's for real.
Did you corner her?
I did not corner her.
I only said I couldn't live with her.
How much did you upset her?
You should've checked the state she's in first.
If something happens to her, I'll make you pay.
Hang up.
The phone is turned off.
What is she doing turning her phone off?
Does she want me to look for her?
I hate people who act all mysteriously.
Why are you people complicating my life?
Darn it.
Exercising after a while is hard work,
but I feel great.
Mom, there's registered mail for you.
- Registered mail? - Yes.
Gosh, you even get registered mail at home now?
(Notice of Deposit)
"Notice of deposit"? What's this?
Does someone owe you?
Why would they? No.
- There's money for you. - What?
What is this?
What nonsense is that?
Who would give me money?
Mom, did you win the lottery or something?
I never bought anything like that.
It must say who wants you to collect the money.
Here.
"Park Bu In"?
My gosh.
"Depositor Park Bu In".
Wait.
Who?
Park Bu In.
No... How...
What's the matter, honey?
How much is it?
If she's shaking like that, it must be a lot.
My gosh. Hang on...
Honey.
(Cha Jin Ok)
Jin Ok. Bu In's back.
Dal Sook. Bu In's back.
- You got it too? - You too?
What's she doing instead of showing up?
She wants us to just take the money? My gosh.
Was she in Korea all along?
We looked for her back then.
She wasn't here.
Mi Rae must've got it too.
Right?
Will you come to the opening?
Of course I will.
Okay. Mi Rae will come too. Let's talk then.
The witch.
She was alive all along.
Yes, over there.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We should wait for Bok Nam and Jin Ok.
Where are they?
They'll be here.
Congratulations, Heo Se.
Welcome.
Why did you send a plant?
It's your new business.
I had to send something.
Congratulations, Dal Sook.
Sure, thanks.
Hi.
Did Song Joo say anything else?
No.
She gave me the signed papers, and I'm still so flustered.
Her phone's still off. It must've been hard on her.
It would have been.
Even if I submit the papers, there's a deliberation period.
Song Joo will need to stay at the apartment.
So what?
I can't go back while she's there.
Your place is so uncomfortable.
I'm thinking of buying a couch and some furniture.
Let's go shopping together.
Are you crazy?
Hey. My goodness.
Master Sagong.
You sent a plant.
I didn't think you'd come when you're so busy.
I had to come.
You're my pupil.
Honey, say hello.
He's Master Sagong Chang Ho of Sagong Training Center.
Oh, nice to meet you.
I really wanted to meet you.
Ever since my wife took lessons from you,
she never goes hoarse, however much she sings.
Dal Sook's such a hard-worker.
I see. She just tries.
Let go of me.
- Hello. - Hi, Mi Rae.
The ex-husband is here too.
Mi Rae, we have one more date left. What shall we do?
It's very important to me,
so I'm planning carefully.
You still haven't given up?
Give up?
I don't know what "giving up" means.
Very well. A promise is a promise.
Let's go out after this opening ceremony.
I'm not free today.
I must meet my aunt.
Then tomorrow.
I'm busy tomorrow.
- Then the day after. - I plan to be busy that day.
Are you kidding me right now?
Why would I kid about it when your ex-husband's watching?
You told me to decide after three dates.
I'm saying we can meet. Why do you keep refusing?
I will decide the details of the third date.
It's like my final exam.
I should be cautious.
Congratulations.
- Hello, welcome. - I'm glad you made it.
Hello.
He is my vocal coach.
Oh, a vocal coach.
Do you teach traditional Korean singing?
Yes. I took over my grandfather's center...
to keep it open.
I played the janggu a bit when I lived in the countryside.
Oh, did you?
I think everyone's here.
It's the first day of 2019, the year of the pig.
I'll begin the ceremony.
As you all know,
I tried to branch out and diversify my business last year,
failed to manage the business risk,
and my 20-year...
That's too long-winded.
You quit the district council. Keep it short.
Okay. Anyway,
what's important is,
Mr. Kim Bok Nam, my lifesaver in many ways...
gave me an opportunity to get back on my feet...
Since that's what happened,
my savior, Mr. Kim Bok Nam...
will make a short speech. Applause.
No, no.
Gosh. Be successful, Mr. Tak.
Thank you, Bok Nam. Thanks.
If you're grateful, get your wife...
to sing us a song.
You bet I will.
Let me introduce to you...
The singer who almost...
toured Southeast Asia.
Please welcome up and coming trot singer Oh Dal Sook.
I'd like to say something before I sing.
We lost everything and were forced to move.
While packing to move,
I found an old VHS tape.
That tape contained fond memories of...
my friends of Cha Dalrae.
Before I sing a song,
let's all watch the video.
Do you mind?
No.
I went all the way to Seun Sangga to find a VHS player.
My lips tremble with nervousness
They're blue like the waves
Hey, how come you still have that?
I'm tearing up.
There are 4 girls. Where's the 4th friend?
We don't know.
She just disappeared one day.
Look at me. Wasn't I pretty even then?
My goodness.
Look at Jin Ok.
No, no.
Jin Ok was prettiest.
My gosh.
What are you waiting for?
Was there any registered mail for me?
Registered mail?
They don't leave that in the mailbox.
They pass it directly to the recipient or family.
Did you take anything for me?
No.
It could've come while you were out.
If that's the case, they leave a sticker on the door.
To say you got mail.
That nasty brat.
She bullied me when we were in the band together.
Did she leave me out?
I don't know what you're waiting for,
but let's get some tea somewhere.
I'm not in the mood for tea.
- I'll give you a ride home. - No thanks.
What a temper.
Bu In's mom borrowed money...
from about 20 people back then.
Are you saying she sent this to all of them?
I don't know...
if she sent it to everyone or just to us.
Her mom's the one who borrowed.
If she's paying it back, she must be successful.
I guess so.
Jin Ok.
It's Mi Rae.
Darn it.
No mail.
Why did she pay you two back and not me?
That brat's mom made my mom sign a restaurant lease,
and we lost the deposit and became penniless.
That's right.
Your mom's crab soup was the best on the pier.
She lost everything trying to expand and open...
a restaurant in Seoul.
That witch is in Korea, isn't she?
She's upset.
She must be. That's why she sent this.
You two always argued even when we were in the band.
Is that why she left you out?
Hey. Let's track her down.
I want to find her too, but how are we to do that?
Don't you think we can get a number...
or address when we collect the money?
We might be able to.
Just wait until I find her. I'll beat her up.
Not me. To be honest, I don't hate her at all.
I wasn't her fault.
I just want to remember the good times we had.
What is this deposit anyway?
Repayment, security,
execution, reinforcement.
There are four kinds of deposits.
Forget about all that and explain what this is.
Will you have some patience and hear me out?
To know what this is,
you need to know about deposits.
So what is a deposit?
The debtors leave an asset with the court...
which allows them...
to pay off whatever debt they owe.
So basically it's, "I owe you something,"
"so come and collect it"?
That's right.
The court has what I owe you.
That's a deposit.
If you owe someone, you can pay them back directly.
Why leave it with the court?
That's a good question.
When you want to pay them back,
if the creditor doesn't want to be paid back,
or if the creditor can't be found,
or if the creditors could fight over who gets what,
the debtor leaves it with the court to avoid the responsibility.
Can we accept the money our parents lent someone?
If there's proof of a loan, like an IOU.
The debtor sent you a notice because they know you.
What happens if you didn't get a notice?
You don't get anything.
That witch.
Who on earth is that woman?
I like her on my own right now,
so I can't tell you.
Is it one-sided?
Yes.
What kind of woman is she that it's one-sided?
So many women chased after you.
She's not like those women.
How so?
Let's see. She doesn't care what other people think.
She's simple and naive.
- What does she do? - No more comments.
Is she someone I know? A musical actor?
Aunt, why are you so persistent today?
The truth is, your dad gave me a mission.
Until I return to America, I'm to find you a spouse.
How old are you now?
Do you have time for unrequited love?
Does unrequited love have an age limit?
I'm having fun.
My goodness.
When will you fly back?
I bought a home.
Are you going to stay?
Yes, kind of.
I'll have to come and go for now,
but I'll move in a few years.
Good for you.
I must be getting old.
I miss my homeland more and more these days.
You and the rest of us...
need to be good to Bok Nam.
It was so nice of him to leave us a store that's doing so well.
That's right. We should be good to him.
You said he has dementia and can't handle the business.
- Hey. - You brat.
Watch your tongue.
You saw him. He's not that bad yet.
Watch what you say.
Yes. He can still run a store.
And he has Dae Young helping him.
That's right.
He knows the situation we're in,
so he gave us the store ahead of time.
That's why we need to use this opportunity...
to get back on our feet.
We should.
That's why I think we should...
take this opportunity to divide work duties.
You manage this store and the real estate side.
Mr. Go, you run Tak Entertainment.
But I just started to understand how the industry works.
Honey. I don't want to go bankrupt again.
She's right. We can't go any lower.
I want to move back to our old home.
Okay. I'll run Tak Entertainment...
and discuss the bigger events with Mr. Tak.
I'll work hard so we can pay you on time.
Please leave a message...
What has she been doing all day?
Mom?
Hey. Differentiate her with me, will you?
Call her Mom Two or Stepmom or something.
No. She's my mom or she isn't.
Mom Two sounds nasty.
Stepmom too.
Does that make you a non-stepmom?
You have a point.
Mom. Are we going to live like this forever?
Your dad and Song Joo just can't patch things up.
I think they decided to split up.
Really?
Then what happens to us?
We need to ask Song Joo.
That must be her.
If you're done eating, go and study.
Okay.
You're back.
Yes. Did you eat dinner?
Yes.
You should at least tell me if you're going somewhere.
Did you go to a hotel to enjoy a bath...
with flower petals?
You haven't eaten yet?
Slow down. You might get sick.
You signed the papers for him.
Did he call to report to you?
No, we met at Dal Sook's husband's store's opening.
He's fine, isn't he?
He was flustered because...
you gave in so easily.
He said something seemed wrong...
and was worried if you're okay.
That's not him worrying about me.
He's concerned I might do something.
If I'll do something he'll have to be responsible for.
That's why.
You learned a lot about men.
I want to ask you a favor.
A favor?
I don't need Joon Ho anymore.
I realized that while living with you.
Do you mean that?
You aren't scheming again, are you?
I'm not.
If you're planning something else, I will kill you.
I think it's a family I wanted, not a husband.
A family...
that cares for me and enriches my life.
I need warmth.
That's why I'm asking for your help.
Why the long speech?
What do you need from me?
Let me join your Cha Dalrae group.
What?
Then your friend's mom...
took the savings and left?
If she went to America, she didn't just...
take the savings.
That's when we realized...
she'd borrowed from so many people.
Dal Sook's dad lost his bus.
Mi Rae's mom lost the restaurant she was running.
It was a mess.
It was all planned then.
What did your mom lose?
We lost the house...
and moved to a single room.
That's when I lost my own future.
Why?
Why did you lose your future?
I gave up going to college.
Let me join your group.
I'll do everything you tell me to.
Hey, I said that's impossible.
Nothing's impossible.
I'll treat and respect you like elders and be good to you.
You aren't making sense. That will never happen in this life.
You can talk to them for me.
We're originally "Lady Cha Dalrae".
Cha Jin Ok, Oh Dal Sook, Nam Mi Rae, and Park Bu In.
The group's name is made up of ours.
What makes you think you can join in?
Park Bu In isn't around.
We can be Cha Dalrae...
Cha Dalrae Joo, with Seol Song Joo's Joo.
How about that?
Cha Dalrae Joo?
That sounds like a wine.
We aren't a drinking club.
Cha Dalrae Joo sounds stupid.
It sounds fine.
Get out of my way.
Let me join in.
I'll pay for membership.
Or I'll take you on a tour around America.
If you keep doing this, I'll just move out.
If you let me join, I'll give you something important.
Something important? What?
Tada.
(Incheon District Court)
Hey!
Why do you have that?
Give it to me.
If you promise to let me in.
Hand that over.
Hey, you.
Promise to let me in.
Why do you have that?
I met the postman while I went to see Joon Ho...
to give him the divorce papers.
I said we're family and picked it up.
Why am I your family?
What is family?
It's someone you live with.
Okay, fine, just give it to me.
No.
I'm really angry now!
Don't you dare move a step, okay?
Give me that.
(Notice of Deposit)
My mom still suffers because of this.
How dare she leave me out?
What is it?
Don't you come near me.
It's been over 20 years.
The deposit won't amount to much.
It'll be tens of thousands of dollars.
That's not bad.
Our house finally goes over tomorrow.
If the deposit's enough,
I was hoping to keep that house.
Even if we sell the house,
we won't get much from it.
I know.
We lose the house for good tomorrow.
That house means so much.
I touched every single corner of that house.
Honey.
We lost that castle of a house...
and have to sleep in a living room.
Honey. I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
No, it's not your fault.
I said it's my fault.
Honey.
Come here. Don't cry. I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
Here's the proposal for our fourth home shopping show.
The Christmas season's over,
so we need something for the new year.
Go through Dodo's suggestions and come up with some ideas.
- Okay. - The meeting's in an hour.
- Okay. - Got it.
Where is this person? My gosh.
Honey.
Can we get our house back?
Once we pay off our debt,
it'll be gone forever.
Honey.
Do you remember what I went through to get that house?
I looked around the whole of Seoul.
It looks like a country house, but it's not too far from downtown.
I was so picky.
I made over 12 trips...
before finally finding that home.
It's that woman.
A woman bought our house?
Yes. Just a moment.
Hello?
Yes, yes.
Seoul's traffic is a bit crazy.
The store's mine, so take your time.
Okay, see you.
She's not from Seoul?
No, she lived in America.
- America? - Yes.
Her name is...
(Julia Sagong)
It says it's Julia.
Julia?
Yes.
Let me join. Let me in your group.
Hey. The crucial reason you can't join is,
we were a four-girl band in high school.
What makes you think you can join us?
Let's get the band back together.
- What? - A band of housewives.
I'll buy the instruments.
My friends are doing well on their own.
One has a job, one's a singer,
I'm a musical actress.
Why would we need to be in a band?
You were in one long ago.
Make it a hobby and enjoy the good times again.
Hey! You really have a way of being a nuisance.
You tortured Joon Ho and now are you torturing me?
What?
Are you upset?
Was I too harsh?
My goodness.
Did this woman go to America to print the money?
Why isn't she here yet?
It's almost time.
Why is...
I apologize.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
I came to make you an offer.
Would you consider selling overseas?
- To export? - Yes.
It'll be a great opportunity if it works out.
The Cha Dalrae girls went to claim the deposit.
Why do I feel so nervous?
We have 200,000 dollars in cash. Why wouldn't you be?
She said we'd be forever, but she betrayed us.
Just wait until I find her.
I'll grab her hair and pull it all out.
Hello. I moved in and came to say hello.
Congratulations.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
They're all doing fine.
They blamed me so much when they're doing just fine.
