Over here.
(Episode 89)
- You... - You...
How could you say "you"?
Oh, well, that was...
How dare you?
I'm sorry.
You made it.
This is Julia, Sagong Foundation's Chairwoman of the Board.
This is Nam Mi Rae, the person I told you about.
- The foundation's chairwoman? - Yes.
This is the woman you told me about?
Oh, my gosh.
"Oh, my gosh"?
I can't believe this.
My goodness, this is just unbelievable.
- Gosh. - Just a moment.
Let's all sit down first.
Sit down and talk over some tea...
Ms. Nam.
Aren't you married?
You shouldn't do this when you're married.
What are you talking about?
Forget it.
Whether I'm married or not,
what does that have to do with you?
So what if you're a chairwoman?
You can't say that to a person's face.
Master.
Your future's at stake, so I wanted to help out, but I can't.
I can't eat with you today.
Ms. Chairwoman, goodbye to you too.
Why should I put up with this?
- Mi Rae. Mi Rae. - How unbelievable.
Forget it.
Her and her temper.
Aunt.
Be quiet.
Mi Rae.
What's wrong with that woman?
Whether I'm married or not,
what does that have to do with the foundation?
I couldn't believe that.
Forget about it.
What a weird woman.
Why did Master Sagong introduce you to her?
Could it be about the musical?
Do you think you made a mistake?
Did I?
Oh, I don't care.
I won't take roles if it requires flattering people.
Where's Dong Hyun?
He's still at his extra class.
He says studying is fun.
It's the holidays. I should increase his classes.
What do you think?
Hang on.
Why do you care about his studies?
You divorced Joon Ho.
Of course, I should care.
I'll stay in touch with Dong Hyun even after the divorce.
Why would you do that?
I'm his mom.
Once a mom, always a mom.
You're not from the Marines.
Cutting contact with your kid just because you left the dad?
Does that make sense?
You're still playing his mom too.
Hey, that's because I gave birth to him.
My gosh.
Are you a mom if you give birth and not if you just raise him?
My gosh.
It's not like you looked after him for that long.
Even if it was just for a day, that makes someone a mom.
I'll be Dong Hyun's mom forever.
Whatever.
I forget what I'm talking about when I'm with you.
(Dal Sook)
What is it?
Nam Mi Rae. I released a single album.
What? You did?
Get over here. Jin Ok's on her way.
Come here right now.
Okay.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Congratulations.
I thought the bankruptcy was it.
Good for you, Dal Sook.
I have a feeling this single will be a hit.
The song's amazing.
Right? I have a great feeling about this.
I'm going to promote this song really hard.
Where's Heo Se?
He went to get fried chicken for our party.
I think that out of us, you got the best husband.
He released your single with the cash instead of paying his debt.
He brags too much and sometimes...
causes trouble, but you're right.
He's not an indecisive loser like Joon Ho,
or a tyrant like Bok Nam.
He's not a tyrant.
Only I can badmouth my husband.
Sorry.
Hey, I have a feeling only good times are ahead of us.
- Right? - I don't know.
I have this weird feeling.
- Like what? - It's like...
something's right here, poking my ribs and bugging me.
Like a dark energy is out there...
and slowly coming towards me.
That gut instinct.
I know what you're talking about.
Isn't that dark energy in a white coat?
With this name embroidered into it. "Kang Joon Ho".
Don't you talk such nonsense on a good day.
I feel horrible after meeting that weird woman.
What weird woman?
When we got back from the court yesterday,
the woman whose car you reversed into.
Yes, the one who took our house.
I met her again today.
She's a total witch.
Why did you have to meet her?
She's Sagong Foundation's chairwoman.
She's just totally...
Forget about her. Witches are best when they're forgotten.
- Okay. - Let's just congratulate Dal Sook.
Another toast?
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Dad, what's that?
I heard you started lessons. Did you bring one home already?
Do you want to hear it?
Doesn't that sound great?
Master Sagong says I have talent.
Oh, really?
Yes. He's actually pretty good.
I learned a few things too.
That's great.
You could play with us after just a week.
How about we give it a go right now?
Shall we?
Not me.
I used muscles I didn't know I had and I'm tired.
- I'll go upstairs. - Okay.
- Get some rest. - You did well today.
Mr. Baek.
Shall we play then, Father?
Shall we have some fun then?
Sure.
Do you know the Jindo Arirang?
The Jindo Arirang?
It's the Gutgeori rhythm.
I'll play the beat first.
Listen.
You can't call me here and just drink soju in silence.
Today,
I divorced Song Joo.
You were with her for less than 100 days.
I'm pathetic.
I felt this when I divorced you too.
Divorce really just takes only a second.
Gosh.
You couldn't stop talking about getting a divorce.
Why are you so down?
You got what you wanted, so smile. That suits you.
Mi Rae.
Don't look at me like that.
- Mi Rae. - Don't.
Don't you say anything.
Let's get back together.
Are you crazy? Why would I do that?
I got divorced because of you.
Because Song Joo misunderstood our relationship.
Don't be stupid.
I didn't play a role in any of that.
You two caused all the mess...
and now you blame me?
We have Dong Hyun.
I'm glad you mentioned him.
If you got divorced, look after him instead of coming to me.
You left him with your second ex-wife...
and you're pleading with me?
You live there with them.
If you want to say such nonsense, don't call me again.
Move out of my place by the weekend.
I'm moving back in with Dong Hyun, okay?
Hey, Mi Rae.
Mi Rae.
What are you doing here?
I came to apologize for today.
You didn't do anything to apologize for.
That chairwoman was out of line.
She was so rude to me when we'd just met.
Gosh.
She's not usually like that.
I think there was a misunderstanding.
Not at all. You were there too.
There was no time to even get the wrong idea.
As soon as she got in, she spoke down to me and gasped.
I couldn't believe it.
Mi Rae.
I know you meant well when you introduced me to her,
but don't do anything like that from now on.
I don't want people to talk about my connections and what not,
and I'm not good enough.
What use is it for me to know the chairwoman of the foundation?
It's not like that, Mi Rae. There's something I must say today.
Don't bother. You should go home.
I'll go on inside. Goodbye.
Master.
Dong Hyun.
Dong Hyun. Let's talk.
I'm tired. I want to sleep.
Come on.
Look up at Mom. Please?
Come on.
Are you angry that I met Master Sagong?
No. It is about you and him,
but I'm not angry.
Then what is it?
I don't want you to go away.
Where would I go?
I'm not going anywhere. What are you talking about?
Whether I'm here or there, I'm always your mom.
It feels like you'll go away.
I don't want you to live with anyone else.
Let's go outside.
I'm so upset.
My heart breaks each time he does that.
Nothing I do...
will heal the wounds we caused.
If I'd known it would be this hard on him...
Don't worry too much. He's still young, that's all.
Oh, right.
Why didn't you tell me?
Tell you what?
I met Joon Ho on the way back home.
You got divorced yesterday.
I said I would.
I really don't feel a thing.
That is what's so weird.
You got divorced yesterday, and you're so normal.
I got divorced because I was...
sick of him, and even I struggled for days.
I feel relieved like I lost an infected tooth.
Here's something from a divorced senior.
Do you think a divorce is the end? It's not.
It's just the beginning.
Do you think I don't know that?
If I thought it was the end, I wouldn't have gotten divorced.
What will you do from now on?
You told me that...
if you aren't happy on your own,
you won't be happy with anyone.
So what?
Will you return to America?
I thought a lot about what you said.
First, I'll get a job.
You finally got the gist of what I said.
What job?
The thing I'm the best at in the whole world.
You'll find out soon.
Okay.
If you put just one percent of the attention you gave to me,
Joon Ho, and Dong Hyun into your work,
you'll be incredibly successful.
I think so too.
What will you do now?
Can the three of us really not live here like this?
That doesn't make sense.
I told Joon Ho to move out by the weekend.
I should go back.
Tell Joon Ho I'll move out by the weekend,
and that he can move back in.
You're leaving?
- Where to? - The house I used to live in.
Or I can live in a hotel.
I'll live anywhere but America.
Why are you so late?
Father wanted to walk around the block one more time.
It was more than once. We ended up doing three extra laps.
Dad, aren't you overdoing it?
You practiced the janggu until late last night.
You'll end up getting sick.
I eat and play all day. This isn't hard at all.
I should die if I don't want to do even this.
Even if I get sick, I'll do what I must.
The performance isn't far off.
Don't mind the charity concert too much.
It's fine as long as the performers and audience have fun.
What are you saying? I should feel some pressure.
I don't want people to say, "He's like that..."
"because he has dementia."
Where's your mom?
At work.
She left already?
It's home shopping broadcast day.
Oh, is it?
You must've been so upset.
If he'd yelled and said he was angry,
then maybe I wouldn't feel this bad.
He said he doesn't want me to live with anyone else,
then jumped into bed.
He gets it in his head, but it'll be tough on his heart.
He's only 15.
I wish I could turn back time.
What if you could? What would that change?
At least...
I wouldn't have gotten divorced so easily.
You talked about it like it was nothing,
but your divorce was definitely not easy.
Dal Sook and I saw you go through everything.
You and Joon Ho both exploded after putting up with enough.
- Right. - That's why he got divorced again.
So don't be stupid and blame yourself.
Just think about what you'll do next.
Dong Hyun wants me to get back with his dad.
That's wrong.
I won't stab myself in the back.
People never change.
But nothing changes as easily as people.
What?
Look at me.
I was a housewife all this time.
Do you remember why I wanted to make money?
It was so I could get divorced.
I worked at a cafe,
and that's how I found my current job.
But now I replaced my sick husband and became...
the leader of the family.
Do you believe that?
It's 10 minutes before the air.
Okay. We're ready.
Mi Rae, do your best for us again today.
You bet I will.
Let's break our record again.
You sold out in 30 minutes?
Will we sell out in all six shows?
That's why Dodo suggested we increase our volume.
We can't do that.
Our factory is running at full capacity already.
We can't build another factory. What should we do?
It's a headache.
It is.
A headache I'd willingly have my whole life.
I got a call from my mother.
Is she doing well?
She's on the other side of the world and worries about the company...
not me, her son.
That means she's very well.
She'd have been so pleased if she were here.
I don't know how she heard,
but she knew about our plans to branch overseas.
What did she say?
That I say hello to you for her.
What?
I think she sees how hard you're trying even from afar.
Not really.
Thanks to my smart staff, I just juggle the schedule.
If my mom had this money, she wouldn't have suffered.
We got paid back and that's that.
I'm pleased to know that Bu In's successful enough to pay us back.
I was worried her life had gone down the drain.
Ms. Cha.
Your phone has been ringing for a while.
(My daughter So Young)
What is it, So Young?
The rehearsal will end around 7pm.
It'll be late when we get home.
Let's eat out today.
It's Hyeon U's treat.
Okay.
What did she say?
Mom has changed a lot.
She would've said...
"Why waste money when there's food at home?"
She said okay right away.
That's great.
I'll make the reservation. You go over with Mother.
Father and I will meet you after the rehearsal.
Yes, sir.
(Resume)
Neither of you have any part-time experience.
That's right. We have no experience,
but we'll work hard and diligently.
You'll hand out flyers outside.
It'll be cold and a bit tough for young girls.
I think it's nonsense that it's colder and tougher for girls.
Hey.
What's wrong?
Can you turn the volume up a bit?
- The radio? - Yes.
The love that made me live
- Mom. Mom. - Mom, Mom.
What's the fuss about this time?
Mom, on the radio... On the radio...
What was on the radio? Was there an accident?
We heard your song on the radio.
A radio station played my song? Why?
- I don't know. - No way. Is that true?
- Yes. - No way!
You said you'd forgotten it all,
but it came right back to you.
I'm so impressed.
I forgot that my daughter's married,
but I remember the beats from my childhood.
What should I do?
You're trying hard, so you'll get better in no time.
Thanks for the kind words.
My family and neighbors are all helping me.
I should get better.
I should. I will definitely get better.
Your son isn't here yet.
I'm going on my own today.
I'm meeting everyone for the rehearsal.
Where is that taking place?
Don't worry. I'll take a taxi.
Then I'll walk you to the taxi stop.
My brain's not working at a full capacity...
that I'm such a nuisance.
Don't say that.
You didn't call to say you'd come over, Aunt.
Why? Are you on your way out?
No, I'll be right back. Wait here for a bit.
Let's go.
What? Persimmons?
No, they haven't arrived yet.
I'll check and call you back.
Okay, Mom. Bye.
Did she...
send the box to the office by mistake?
Mr. Go, did we get any parcels?
No, why?
My mom said she sent a box of persimmons...
and we never got it.
Where did she send it to?
Home, of course.
She sent it to our old address.
You didn't say you moved out?
I couldn't tell her that I'd lost everything.
Someone has to go over there...
to pick up the persimmons.
(Daebong Persimmons)
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Is that man your pupil too?
Yes. He's a very special pupil.
(Hall of Honor)
No answer?
No. What should we do?
Do you think he got lost?
Master Sagong called you after helping him into a taxi.
It must be the traffic.
It takes less than 30 minutes from the center to here.
It's been almost an hour.
Did you end it with Nam Mi Rae?
Mi Rae's...
not how she seems.
She's honest and naive.
My gosh.
Naivete is a virtue only when you're young.
It's a flaw when you're old.
And to be honest, she's not that naive.
What?
That's just my impression of her.
Let's get going.
Just a moment, Aunt.
Hello, Sagong Chang Ho.
What?
He isn't there yet?
Okay.
Aunt, I'll have to visit your place later.
I must find someone.
Who?
The special pupil you talked about?
I met the man through Mi Rae.
He's not well.
He seemed very normal.
He was diagnosed with presenile dementia.
What?
Hello?
Dad, where are you?
Where would I be? I'm at home.
Why are you at home?
You're supposed to come here to rehearse for the performance.
Okay, okay.
I came home to rest...
Wait.
Hey.
What time is it?
You're three hours late.
Everyone's so worried.
I got what you mean.
I'll come over now. Don't worry.
Don't bother. Stay at home.
Mom and So Young are on the way.
Don't say that. I can't miss the rehearsal.
I'll take a taxi over there. I won't be long.
My goodness.
What a disaster.
Hey.
My gosh.
What?
My gosh.
Dad.
Honey, what happened?
It's just...
my legs suddenly went weak.
Did you sprain an ankle?
Help me stand up.
Let's go inside.
Why does he keep falling over?
Be honest. Is that a symptom of dementia too?
We'll need to run some tests to be sure,
but when someone has dementia, motor function suffers...
as well as cognitive function.
Something similar happened once before.
He said he couldn't clench his hands...
and asked me to put his socks on for him.
Won't regular exercise help with that?
He could get better.
But excessive exercise could be detrimental.
Gosh.
Let's go inside.
What's wrong?
Who is it?
Hello. It's the person who used to live here.
I heard you have something that's ours.
(Daebong Persimmons)
Hello. Welcome.
Take a seat. Have some tea.
No, I'd rather not bother you. I just came for the persimmons.
Stay for some tea.
I should serve a visitor tea at least.
That's how I was taught.
Oh, okay...
What's going on? She's not at all like last time.
Here you go. It's chamomile tea.
Thanks.
When I bumped into your car last time,
were you very flustered?
It's fine. Don't bother.
Do you live alone in this huge house?
Yes.
I'm sure you can tell,
but I put a lot of effort into this house.
The window frames, wallpaper, and flooring.
I handpicked everything.
The house was my treasure.
Thanks for the tea.
I hope that...
only good things happen to you...
while you're here.
I hope so.
Sorry.
Hello, Mother. I just got the persimmons.
We were out for a bit.
She doesn't know you're bankrupt.
No, I didn't pick them up late on purpose.
Mother, that's not true.
Mother. Mother.
Is this how the great Oh Dal Sook is living now?
My goodness.
I'm sorry for the hassle.
Have some.
I like how it's about pop music from the 1990s.
I have a good feeling about it.
It seems like a fusion of the musical "Mamma Mia!"...
and the movie "Sunny".
I like it.
The whole production hinges on the female lead.
Do you have someone in mind?
I trust that you'll know best whom to cast, Director Park.
How about Nam Mi Rae who's playing a supporting role now?
Don't we need someone with more depth?
Ms. Nam looks like she never had a care in the world.
No. Mi Rae's been through the worst of the worst.
Really?
She went downhill after she got divorced.
Then she met Master Sagong and got back on track.
Her skill and personality...
runs much deeper than you think.
Really?
I thought she was immature because she never had a worry in her life.
I said that's not the case.
What's this?
Hello.
Do you need help?
I moved into Dal Sook's place.
Oh, okay.
Nice to meet you.
If you're going home, I'll walk you.
Can you? Thank you.
Oh, dear.
Are you all right?
I sprained my ankle.
I'm fine. You go ahead.
I can't. How about...
we sit over there for a while?
I'm sorry to bother you when we just met.
Be careful.
Oh, dear.
