The scumbag.
You fool. You fool.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry.
What do I do if you leave like this?
How can I live without you?
How will you live your life?
- I'm sorry. - Must you go?
Do you have to do this?
Mom.
I want to live.
Right now, I need to leave...
if I'm to breathe at all.
When will you return? Will you come home soon?
I don't know.
I'll just travel for now.
I'll see what I wanted to,
and if I meet nice people,
I'll live with them.
That's all for now.
How can I make you stay?
What can I do for you? I'll do everything you want.
Mom.
I have to go.
You nasty boy.
How can you do this to me?
What did I do to you that was so wrong?
I just wanted you to do better than others.
No. You can't go.
Doing better than others?
What is that?
I just want to be me.
I'll make my own decisions.
I'll live as who I am.
Later on. You can do that later on.
If you go, I'll die.
Do you want to see me die?
No. I won't let you go. You can't go!
(Jeil Hospital)
(Episode 9)
The door is closing.
Good work.
Mom.
Did you get to talk to him?
There wasn't much time. I only saw his face.
Let it go. There's nothing you can do now.
It's your dad. That's who I'm worried about.
He's bound to find out.
I'll leave home as well then.
We haven't gone on a date in a while.
Shall we eat something nice and have some tea?
What do you think? Sounds good?
What was it like living with Dad?
What do you mean?
Dad's much older than you are.
What was that like?
I don't know.
It's not about the age, it's the person that counts.
Mi Rae and Joon Ho are the same age and they're getting divorced.
They're getting divorced?
They agreed to.
No way. Why?
I don't know. Things happened.
Mi Rae can't bottle things up like you.
She doesn't.
I bet they fight a lot, right?
Do you think I bottle up my emotions?
Do you know when you changed?
I was in the second or third year of middle school.
Since then, you talked less, read more,
took classes, and got a barista license.
What happened then?
Hey, you sighed.
Something must've happened.
Nothing happened.
I just thought I was pathetic.
Also I resented that I was unlearned.
Is that why you keep it inside?
Do you know why a volcano erupts?
Because it can no longer keep everything inside?
That's why people like me are more dangerous than Mi Rae.
Mom.
Do you love Dad?
I asked you what it's like living with a much older man.
No comment.
Does that include the age gap?
No comment.
Then...
let's say I love an older man very much.
What would you say?
No. Don't you dare.
(Kim Bok Nam)
It's your dad.
Hi, it's me.
Why are you out and about instead of cooking for...
your husband who worked all day?
Why did you go to the hospital?
Come home.
I worked hard all day...
and there's no wife and no dinner.
This household's a mess.
You're drinking my beer now?
Buy some on your way.
Why turn it off? I'm studying.
Honey.
What's going on? Be yourself.
- The house you want is available. - Really?
It's empty right now.
You can move in tomorrow.
How was that possible?
A professor lived there,
but I guess he suddenly got sent abroad.
That's great.
Are you that pleased to split up with me?
I'm not pleased,
but we feel uncomfortable around each other.
Honey.
Don't call me so sweetly.
Can't we...
just live together like this?
You shouted at me to move out,
so what's going on now?
We both made mistakes.
So let's call it even?
We can't. Do you know why?
Because of the memories.
We saw too many bad sides of each other.
Do you think we can live...
just ignoring all the memories in our heads?
- I'm okay with that. - I'm not okay.
Let's stay together, for Dong Hyun's sake.
My heart aches when I think of him.
But what can we do?
Dong Hyun has his life to live and we have ours.
He's not bad or acting out, so he'll be fine.
He's in middle school, and he could turn out either way.
When he goes to university, then...
I didn't think...
this would be my last night here.
Let's drink in a good mood, shall we?
Joon Ho.
Let's not be like enemies.
Let's be more like friends and help each other out.
That's best for Dong Hyun.
I worked hard all day.
Then you should have dinner waiting for me.
Why were you outside?
I don't do this all the time. It's rare.
Why did you go to the hospital to see So Young...
when she'll be home soon?
I ran some errands then met her and had dinner.
Must you nag me for that?
I'm not complaining because dinner wasn't ready.
Then what is it about?
You have the whole day off.
Why must you go out when your husband's about to come home?
And where are my old shoes?
I didn't get them on purpose.
Why wear old shoes when you have new pair?
Do you throw everything out just because they're old?
Will you throw me out too?
You didn't even raise our kids right.
I got him into medical school,
and you let him drag you into doing what he wants.
What mom does that?
Do you deserve to be a mom?
Do you think you can say everything you want to?
Am I wrong?
I work my hands to the bone to feed you all.
I feed and clothed you.
You people should have a conscience.
This is all because you don't think or plan.
Stop it!
How dare you...
Stop it! Stop it, you fool!
Don't come in.
Did you fight?
Yes.
What did you say to upset her?
She's upset as it is.
- About what? - There's this thing.
You look down on me too?
My gosh. Why would I look down on you?
It's just a woman thing.
You don't need to know.
Get my dinner.
Be nice to Mom.
I do enough.
You look down on her.
Don't think little of her because she doesn't react.
It's not because she's afraid of you.
Then why won't she react?
She's holding back.
Do you know why a volcano erupts?
It erupts because it can no longer keep everything inside.
It looks like she just erupted.
- Come and sit down. - Okay.
Sorry about earlier.
The twins are right.
It's not terminal. You can get treated.
Well...
Are you okay going out in public?
Who cares? I can handle feeling embarrassed.
Sit up straight like the old Heo Se.
You're charming when you bluff a bit.
I'm really sorry for everything.
You should've told me.
Why did you keep it from me?
I had no idea and thought that you were ignoring me.
Did you?
As painful as your secret was,
I felt really miserable.
Don't you remember?
All the shows I put on...
to try to get you interested in me?
Nothing ever worked...
and all I started getting all sorts of ideas.
Am I that unappealing?
Is he cheating on me?
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have kept it from you.
That's right. It can't be an easy thing to share,
but we're married.
If we'd told each other everything, this wouldn't have happened.
Promise me something.
What... What is it?
Let's see a doctor together.
Of course, I will.
How can I not when I promised my constituents?
A politician...
must keep any promise he made with the public.
- I promise. - There you go again.
- You fool. - That hurt.
Why talk about your constituents when you can't care for your wife?
If you can't treat me properly, your political career's over.
I get that now.
We have a long way to go together.
This is our first day on that trip,
so let's drink to it. Here.
There. Cheers.
Girls. Mom and Dad are drinking,
so stay out of our way.
Go to your room!
You stay here and drink.
(Police Station)
Do what you want.
Take the 100,000 or 300,000 dollars.
Only you'll go to prison, not me.
Can you prove that I paid you?
Cash leaves no trace.
Do you think I didn't even think of that?
You asked them for 300,000 dollars.
This is illegal.
Bring in the employee of that restaurant...
and check her account.
What's the other thing? Yes, track her movements.
Won't she confess then?
It's definitely a crime.
I'll bring her in and interrogate her.
Who is Lee Soo Ja?
That's her over there. What's this about?
- What's wrong? - Lee Soo Ja?
Here's your arrest warrant.
You can remain silent and hire an attorney.
Everything you say now can be used against you in court.
It wasn't me.
- I did as I was told. - I'm sure.
- It wasn't me. - Sure.
- Sir. Sir. - Take her away.
What are you doing?
(Honest People Party, Ji Hwa Ja)
Come in.
Who are you?
You're under arrest for libel and spreading false information.
Spreading false information?
You can remain silent and hire an attorney.
Everything you say now...
can be used against you in court.
- Listen, I'm Ji Hwa Ja. - Search for evidence.
- I'm an assemblywoman. You're... - I know.
Yes, I know all that. Now come along.
Hey, don't go through that!
Let's go.
Yes. Oh, don't worry about me.
Thank so much for your concern.
Of course. Yes, sure. Bye.
That's her.
What an amazing twist?
You really are passionate.
You're a rookie, a first-timer...
and you dreamed way too big.
You know they serve the bare minimum in prison, right?
Eat healthy...
and learn about life.
Failure gives you an opportunity to start over.
I'll gain some wisdom so that I can...
start in a cleverer way.
Good luck in there, trash.
- You wait and see, you sterile man. - Let's go.
"Sterile man"?
Hey! Come here.
- Come here! - Calm down.
- How dare you say that? - Stop it.
Give me that.
You'll end up cleaning all day.
Let me do it. I need to if I'm to get better.
This isn't the time to improve your cleaning skills.
What about business?
Forget about business. We're reopening tomorrow.
My goodness.
Where are the others? Why aren't they back from lunch?
I don't know. It's strange.
They know we're busy.
Hey.
Does it take you hours to eat lunch?
What?
You resigned?
(Letter of Resignation)
How could they do this?
They know we're reopening tomorrow.
Are they messing with us?
Shall I call some day laborers?
Manager Park.
Where are you?
The chicken joint?
I need your help.
It's an emergency.
Hey, what's up?
Let's help Mi Rae move.
I'll visit later. You go ahead.
Why put it off? It's our neighborhood.
I'm not in the mood.
Why? Is something wrong?
I had a huge fight with my husband last night.
You?
You fought your husband?
Gosh, the sun will rise in the west tomorrow.
Why did you fight? Oh, was it about Dae Young?
About him and all sorts of things.
Everything I'd kept in just exploded.
Yes, you put up with a lot.
You tend not to talk about things...
and you keep it inside like you're veiled like...
Yes, the Kremlin. That's what you're like.
You suffered a lot.
Let's talk later. You go ahead.
Okay.
Sir.
Hello, hello.
Thanks so much for coming.
Is this the job they gave you?
We reopen tomorrow.
There were two more employees but they quit today.
Why?
They don't want to work with someone who has no experience.
It's more because...
they think we'll fail and close anyway.
Is that why you called me?
I'm sorry.
We need your help.
We really do.
I don't know if you'll like it,
but I'll hire you as a full-time employee.
The same position as before. As manager.
- What? - Manager.
Congratulations on your new job.
Oh... Okay, thanks...
You fired me. But you're hiring me?
Why do you think I fired someone as smart as you?
It's fate.
Let's work together and revive this supermarket.
Let's do it together. We can do it.
- We can do it. - Sure. We can do it.
Where does this go?
Put them all here.
- Watch out. - Be careful.
Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
My gosh.
Gosh.
You said you'd be moving in today.
I just did.
They packed everything for me.
1, 2, 3... Just 6 boxes? Where's the rest?
I left the rest behind.
I'm starting over.
Why would I bring my stuff?
I don't have a family now.
You still need to cook.
Cook?
Food isn't that important.
I can eat out or leech off someone.
Why would I worry when you and Jin Ok live nearby?
Honestly, you...
What should we do with you?
Don't you know minimalism? It's a trend.
People tend to keep too much stuff.
I'll live in an empty space.
Even so, you need a bed and closet...
and a couch to lounge about in.
I don't.
I'm terrible at cleaning up. I'll sleep on the floor...
and keep my clothes in a sack...
and wear them one by one.
I don't believe this.
Then you don't need my help with anything.
I don't.
Oh, right. I need a small fridge.
What for if you won't cook?
For my beer.
Beer must be cold.
I might get a new fridge. Take mine.
It still works fine.
That's the fridge sorted.
Any leftover coffee pots or teacups?
Ask Jin Ok about that.
She has a barista license.
She has things for drip coffee and pretty cups too.
See, everything's sorted.
I'll find a way to survive so don't you worry.
What about when Dong Hyun comes over?
Him?
He prefers restaurant food to my cooking.
You're so blessed.
Was my house this spacious?
It finally looks habitable again.
Was I this used to a messy house?
It looks so empty when it's clean.
(Dong Hyun)
Dong Hyun, buy something to eat.
(Excellence Award in Academic Evaluation)
Yes, a bulgogi set.
Make it quick.
What do you think about my house?
What's the matter?
Is it the lack of furniture?
Do you like this?
Of course, I do. There's nothing to clean...
and no husband to nag that the place is messy.
Don't you like it?
It's weird.
Because it's empty and unfamiliar.
It's a stereotype that a place must be full of furniture.
You'll get used to it if you come by often.
Where's my room?
Your room?
There's a room for you too.
There's a room upstairs. That can be yours.
You won't be here often. You can sleep with me.
- No. - Because you're grown up?
What is it you wanted to brag to me about?
It's nothing.
You can be so silly.
(Jeil Hospital)
Shall I call Nurse Baek?
Are you deaf?
He has a lot to do.
Why bother a busy man? You do it.
What are you doing?
You must shower before your bottom gets soaked.
Get on my back.
Do you think I'm a bed-wetter?
Then why did you call me?
Sit over there.
Why the long face?
I don't feel very well.
It's more like your heart is the problem.
Ma'am, I have a lot to do.
I have to go.
You like my man, don't you?
I knew it.
That's why I can't leave this hospital.
The nasty brats try to get to my man...
whenever they have the chance.
How can I leave?
It's not that.
I can tell.
He rejected you.
It's not like that.
I know I'm right.
You have high standards, don't you?
But you can't have him.
Nurse Baek has really high standards.
He wouldn't go for someone as young as you.
I know that.
It's not wrong for someone to like another.
I didn't know that I'd like him.
But...
what am I supposed to do when I keep liking him?
What should I do when I can't control how I feel?
Stop crying.
One would think I hit you.
Stop it.
Keep quiet and get out.
Your hair grew so much.
Don't you lie.
It's not a lie.
You had brain surgery six months ago...
and look at your hair.
They shaved my head and made me look so ugly...
and got paid for it too.
Hospital people are nasty.
I know. You must've been so upset to lose all that hair.
I was 45 years old when my husband...
died and left me.
That's how old I am.
You lived on your own for 40 years?
That's what I regret the most.
When that man followed me around saying he loved me,
I should've taken the plunge and lived with him.
- Silly me. - Oh, dear.
Why didn't you live with him?
I didn't think I'd live to be so horribly old.
You'll be...
alive and well for much longer.
What about you?
- Pardon? - Don't end up like me.
Marry whoever says she likes you.
Who would like me?
You can dupe a ghost but not me.
A 20-year age difference...
is nothing when you live together.
When one person likes another, that's called a miracle.
Such a miracle happened and...
this fool doesn't know a thing.
What a mess.
- Ma'am. - If you...
make that evil brat cry once more,
then I'll teach you a lesson, okay?
Ma'am.
I'm...
Will you be responsible if I catch a cold?
If you don't want to be,
stop taking my time and take me to my room.
Okay.
Don't push her away...
and hurt her forever.
If you hurt her, heal her too.
You need to find someone...
you can lean on as well.
Well...
I thought you were a man, but you're a woman.
Stop teasing me and get lost.
Get some rest.
Hey.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
If you decided to keep Dong Hyun, look after him.
He's at the ER.
What did you do?
Are you overjoyed to live alone?
Going out and having fun when you want?
There's something I want to hear you say.
Are we...
dating now?
