(Episode 90)
You said you moved into Mr. Tak's place.
Yes.
This is a great neighborhood.
We moved here 15 years ago...
and the people are still as kind as they used to be.
I see.
My wife says there's no place like it in Seoul and is quite happy.
Your wife is quite beautiful.
How did you two meet?
She's not beautiful at all.
After graduating from high school,
my wife worked part-time at my company.
That's when we first met and...
We got married pretty soon after that.
Do you mean she got married without even going to college?
She didn't skip college because of me.
It was because she was poor.
Pardon?
Her mother was...
conned out of her savings, and her family lost everything.
That's why she had to give up going to college.
Jin Ok?
Do you know my wife?
Oh, no.
I heard her friends call her name.
They all seem to be very close.
They can't live without each other.
They all experienced the same thing,
so they're very tight.
What experience was that?
Their mothers' friend borrowed money from them and disappeared.
All three families lost everything...
and were ruined.
Are you all right?
Oh. Yes. I'm fine.
I need to get home.
I'll walk you back.
- Do you know where I live? - Yes.
Gosh.
Are you all right?
You sprained your ankle earlier.
If you don't mind,
- I'll help you. - Okay.
- My goodness. - Take slow steps.
Honey.
Oh.
Honey.
What happened?
Well...
I think he sprained his ankle.
Again?
You sprained it once before.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Sure.
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
Slowly.
Thank you.
Well... Excuse me.
Do you have something to say?
Your husband sprained his ankle,
but he also seemed lost.
Thank you.
The truth is, my husband's not well.
Thanks so much.
It's nothing.
I thought that only I suffered.
Girls. I'm sorry.
I will make up for it...
for all of you.
I haven't added everything up yet.
You don't have to anymore.
- Is the director in? - Yes.
She used to take everything every evening.
What's she up to now?
(Vet's Office)
I'll give you back the 300,000 dollars.
Why do you want to do that when we signed the divorce papers?
I don't mean anything.
You can pay me back slowly.
What?
It has nothing to do with the divorce then?
That's that and this is this.
But I'll keep the notarized IOU.
What do you want me to do then?
I'll give you three years.
Work hard and pay me back yourself.
In installments.
Are you treating me like a beggar now? What's this about?
I cancelled the provisional seizure.
Come home and live with Dong Hyun.
What do you mean by all that?
I learned one thing about you...
during the time we spent living together.
Just one thing?
I speak fluent English, I can cook and clean well,
and make detailed plans. There's a lot.
I know. You and your plans.
There was always a reason for everything you did.
You're returning this check so I'll pay in installments.
You're up to something.
You're right.
But it has nothing to do with you.
How can that be when I'll be paying you back?
Are you still not completely done?
It's true that I'm not done, but it's not about you.
Anyway, I took a step back,
so tell Mi Rae sis for me.
What? "Mi Rae sis"?
What do you mean?
I told Joon Ho to move back in here.
I cancelled the provisional seizure...
and told him to pay me in installments.
You did? Good for you.
Why did you do that for him?
You want to go back home now that we're divorced.
What does that have to do with me leaving?
If Mi Rae sis is to leave...
- Wait. - What's wrong?
Why did you suddenly change what you call me?
Because I want to.
Just stick to what you called me. We aren't real sisters.
What's the difference between "sister" and "Mi Rae sis"?
I switched from English to Korean. It no longer sounds foreign.
You didn't like foreign-sounding terms.
I do like them,
so stick to calling me "sister".
I don't want to. We're Korean, so I'll use a Korean term.
"Sister Mi Rae" sounds like we're close.
Call me what you used to, okay?
Anyway, if Sister Mi Rae is to go back...
How dare you?
If you're to go back home,
Joon Ho needs to come back here.
That's why I did what I did.
You've grown up.
Are you okay with that?
You must want to get revenge. How will you deal with that.
It's really hard for me to give up, but once I do,
I couldn't care less.
That's a relief.
What will you do now?
I said I have a home to go back to.
But promise me just one thing.
What is it now?
Don't ignore me. Accept me as a sister.
I have no reason to ignore you.
But don't you ask us to be sisters...
or ask me to let you join Cha Dalrae.
Why not?
You and I don't have that kind of relationship.
That's that. Let's say goodbye over drinks tonight.
Honey.
I don't want to eat that.
Would I, after all that cursing?
Try to understand, okay?
She searched the market with her sore knees...
to pick the best to send to us,
and we never called to say thank you.
That's why she was upset.
She sent them for her only son, not for me.
It's not like that.
She was so pleased when you became a singer.
She told me to feed you well so you don't get exhausted.
That's because she doesn't know her son...
lost his business, house,
and district council badge trying to finance my career.
Why is that your fault? Come on.
It's all because of that Julia woman.
She should've called us as soon as she got the parcel.
Darn it.
Why would you blame her when I don't want to eat?
Why the sudden change?
You didn't like that woman.
The thing is,
before I went over there yesterday,
I was really scared she'd have changed the house already.
I thought I'd be so heartbroken.
You bet.
You put so much effort into the interior.
She hadn't changed a thing.
- Really? - Really.
I'd heard she'd keep our furniture...
because she spends a lot of time in the US,
but even the curtains were the same.
I almost burst into tears like a fool.
Why don't you take a bite to celebrate?
It's really sweet. There you go.
Gosh, it is really sweet.
Il Lan loves soft persimmons.
Hey, hang on.
Why aren't they home yet?
They said they'll study until the library closes.
Il Lan too?
The look in her eyes have changed since we moved here.
That's odd.
Welcome. We have a special event.
Check out the new releases.
We have new phones. Come and have a look.
Il Lan.
Your nose. It's bleeding.
My nose is bleeding?
What should I do?
Tilt your head back.
Mom...
- Don't cry. - What should I do?
It'll be cold.
Hold onto it.
Il Lan. You don't need to study.
Just don't get sick.
I'm okay, Dad. Don't worry.
Il Lan, you aren't auditioning behind my back, are you?
Mom.
It's not that. She was with me in the library until now.
Did you really study until your nose bled?
You were way behind your class.
You would have to study hard to catch up.
Il Lan has changed, Mom.
Okay. The longer I live, the more miracles I see.
Hang on. Why do you sound so hoarse?
Have you been singing and screaming?
Why would I?
- It's just a cold. - You caught a cold too?
Your temperature's fine.
How odd.
Il Lan sounds hoarse too.
It's just a cold.
I'm off to shower.
Hey, hey. Yi Ran.
- Il Lan, you... - I'm tired.
Do you know what's most important between a married couple?
It's trust.
Once a crack appears in that trust, your love will suffer,
and so will your marriage.
Are you saying it's my fault we're breaking up?
It's your fault,
but it's not your fault.
What does that mean?
You didn't have time to build that trust.
Everything takes time to mature or ripen.
You two got married right after you met to have an affair.
Isn't it nonsense to think you can trust a man you cheated with?
That's why...
cheating couples who marry can never be happy.
Never.
Some couples stay married.
That's true. Some do stay married.
But only to save face.
They never stay married until they grow old and frail.
Why did you get divorced then, Mi Rae sis?
Hey, it's "sister".
Then why did you get divorced, sister?
I...
failed to maintain the distance.
We dated before marriage.
What happens if two hedgehogs get too close?
They poke each other.
Exactly.
We hurt each other too much.
We should've kept a little distance.
I read something similar somewhere.
A married couple shouldn't be too close or too distant.
What are you supposed to do then?
It's like...
not sleeping in separate rooms,
but not sharing a bed either.
Don't sleeping in separate rooms,
but don't share a bed?
What do you mean?
Sleep in the same room,
but sleep in different beds.
I think that's the ideal distance between a husband and wife.
You can sleep comfortably too.
Gosh, you're really eloquent.
Try that the next time you get married.
I won't marry again.
Fine.
Your life is for you to live.
I said so before, but I have a plan.
Don't you worry about me.
I'd love to hear what that plan is.
I can't tell you right now.
No?
You can do this, you can do that, but I wish you luck.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
(Cha Jin Ok, Mother, Bok Nam)
So Young, Dae Young.
Okay, okay.
(Baek Hyeon U)
Can you still not remember Mr. Baek?
No.
Despite watching a video of the wedding so many times?
Do you remember walking So Young down the aisle?
Yes.
Isn't it a relief that you remember that at least?
Look at him again. This is So Young's husband.
You just have to go outside and call him "Mr. Baek".
Okay.
You sprained your ankle again.
Don't overdo it and just do a lap around the block.
I'm fine. I'll manage.
Okay... Mr. Baek...
I got this.
Did you sleep well?
Hey. Mr. Baek.
That's right. How is your foot?
It's fine.
- Where's Dae Young? - Still in bed.
He must've studied late.
Oh, did he?
Let's go on without him.
Okay. It's a holiday, so we'll take our time.
- Okay, take care. - We will.
Shall we go?
- See you later. - Bye.
Bye.
Your dad...
has forgotten Mr. Baek for good.
He can't remember him?
If I don't remind him each morning, he'll chase Hyeon U out again.
Does he remember everyone else?
Yes.
- Dad. - Dae Young.
Why didn't you wake me?
I thought you'd studied late,
so we left you to sleep in.
I have Mr. Baek to keep me company.
You needn't come with me every morning.
I'll do what I can manage.
- Let's keep going. - Okay.
You still managed to catch up.
I ran like crazy.
Bok Nam.
Mr. Tak.
Why are you walking so slowly?
Father sprained his ankle yesterday.
You could've skipped your morning exercise then.
You're so determined.
When a man makes up his mind,
he should forge ahead.
Good for you.
How about we forge ahead then?
- Okay. - Let's go.
It got warm today.
- Hello. - Director Kang.
Thanks so much for all coming out.
Don't you say that.
- Shall we keep walking? - Okay.
Hey. Don't you feel cold?
I do. Are my clothes too thin?
Mr. Tak, didn't you used to...
My gosh.
He knows how much I hate to clean.
Oh, dear.
Kang Joon Ho.
If you want to be loved, do things that make you lovable.
I'm sorry that I wasn't mom enough.
Don't say that.
I'd never raised a child before,
and I suddenly had to care for you, so I lacked practice.
I thought I just had to...
feed you tasty food and support you.
It's okay.
You were like a real mom.
Just a little different from others.
Thank you.
Your mom's a mom forever,
and so am I, okay?
Song Joo.
I became your mom.
Will you not see me again because I divorced your dad?
What do you think about that?
It would be different if you don't want that,
but if you want to be, you're my mom forever.
I have to go.
Stick to your schedule even after I'm gone.
I'll call.
Okay. You have to call. Promise.
I will. Take care.
Let's go.
Where will you go? I'll drive you.
Put it in the trunk.
You bought a car?
I can't move about without a car.
What about the rest of your stuff?
I'll come over for them or you can ship them to me.
Will you go back to your old place?
- Bye. - I'm sorry.
You must be pleased.
Your son and son-in-law are taking you to the sauna.
Come with us if you want to.
No thanks. I'm going to hang out with my friends.
You seem happiest when you're with them.
What's there to talk about when you meet all the time?
The more you meet, the more you have to say.
There's less to say if you don't meet.
You have a point right there.
- We'll take our time then. - Go ahead.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- See you. - Bye.
Are you going out? Hello.
Jin Ok. Jin Ok.
Hello, Dal Sook.
Where are the guys off to?
The sauna.
Bok Nam must be pleased.
His son on one side and his son-in-law on the other.
Hey. That's all a blessing too.
That's why he's Bok Nam, "blessed man".
Your dad's biggest blessing...
is your mom.
You're right.
Stop talking nonsense and help me cook.
- Mi Rae will be waiting. - Whatever.
Why are you gathering today?
Mi Rae came back home after staying somewhere else for a while.
Where was she staying?
It's just a thing. We're gathering for a meal since it's a holiday.
Not just for a meal. We have to drink too.
That sounds like fun.
Are they here already?
Sister.
What are you doing here?
I have nowhere to go.
You said you have plenty of choices, like your place or a hotel.
I leased my place to a tenant.
I asked them to move, but the contract hasn't expired...
and I can't force them to leave.
You're rich. Find another place to live in.
I gave everything back to Joon Ho. I have no money.
You aren't thinking of staying here, are you?
You barged into my place to live with me.
Let me stay until my tenant moves out.
I can't. Get out.
Where to? I have nowhere to go.
You can stay at a hotel.
Hotels in Korea are so expensive.
There are many cheap hotels too!
- Hello, it's us. - Hey, Mi Rae...
Hello.
Welcome.
Hey. What's this woman doing here?
I wonder too.
Let's go to the kitchen. Jin Ok.
I don't believe this.
Explain why she's here in one sentence.
The thing is...
She just barged in here.
Okay. Can we send her off then?
- Dal Sook, let's get rid of her. - Deal.
- You can't do that. - Why not?
You finally left hers to claim your own space.
Why will you let her stay?
Well...
She has nowhere to go.
Why does she have nowhere to go? She's rich.
She used her money to do all sorts of things to Joon Ho.
Why can't she find a place to stay?
She gave everything back to Joon Ho.
She has nothing left.
So what? You'll take her in?
I'm not saying I'll take her in. I'll just let her stay for a while.
She'll leave as soon as her tenant moves out.
What? I knew you'd be like this.
You need to wake up.
She's your ex-husband's ex-wife.
You no longer have anything to do with her.
She was Dong Hyun's mom for a while.
We aren't complete strangers.
I'm glad you brought that up.
What if rumors spread about his two moms living together?
How will you survive that?
The neighbors won't find out as long as you two keep quiet.
Will you let us off this once?
This isn't working.
- I'll get out there and drag her... - No, don't.
I'll send her off.
Just a week. I can send her packing after a week.
- Hello. - Hello.
Am I too early?
You aren't. Welcome.
Oh, my gosh.
What are you doing in my home?
We met on the way and invited her.
She helped Bok Nam yesterday.
We're neighbors now.
I felt bad about the accident I caused last time too,
and wanted to introduce you.
There's no need for an introduction.
She ruined my mood the day we met.
I was rude last time. I'm sorry.
Oh, you two met already?
Master Sagong introduced us.
She's chairman of the great Sagong Foundation.
I apologize. Don't be so angry.
Well...
I wasn't exactly polite myself.
Let's all go to the kitchen.
Come on with us.
Sit over there.
Welcome. Sit down.
Sit down, everyone.
There's not much to eat, but I hope you like it.
Thank you so much for helping my husband.
You practically saved him.
It's late, but welcome to the neighborhood.
Thank you.
Our first meeting wasn't too ideal,
but I hope we can get along.
We were friends since high school, so we're close.
I'm Cha Jin Ok, Oh Dal Sook, and Nam Mi Rae.
And over there...
I'm Seol Song Joo.
I'm sister's... I'm her junior.
I see. I'm Julia.
Did you live abroad? I did.
I lived in New York. Where did you live?
Hey, eat this.
Isn't this your favorite?
I'm based in Chicago.
I moved there as a child.
I'm so impressed.
Friends from high school stayed in touch...
and even live close by? That can't be easy.
We're all a bit odd in our own way,
and we lost our parents young, so we relied on each other.
Did your parents die when you were young?
Jin Ok was six months pregnant with So Young...
when her mom died, so she was just 20.
Gosh, you were orphaned early.
I became an orphan about 10 years ago.
Mi Rae's the exception. Her mom's still alive.
I'm so jealous.
I'm risking my life to tell you this.
I want to join Cha Dalrae.
I want to be the fourth member.
The fourth member?
Hey! Are you crazy?
I told you not to say that.
You're really slow.
Can't you tell when not to talk?
Yes. We already have a fourth member.
There's a fourth member?
Who's that?
There's a witch who ruined our lives.
Mi Rae, don't talk like that.
Don't just curse. If you hate her, find her and get even.
Do you think we didn't?
We looked hard for 10 years after she disappeared.
We couldn't even find a hair.
That means she went into hiding.
How can we find someone who's hiding? We gave up.
Do you really want to get even?
We just have a lot to say to her.
We're either reluctant to let go or just obsessed.
That all comes from love.
That's what I learned so far.
Do you want to get kicked out? Keep your mouth shut.
We don't want revenge. It's just a figure of speech.
I would like to see her again before I die.
We will, at least once.
Do you know where she is?
Isn't she the person who sent the notice of deposit?
- Darn you. - Seol Song Joo!
I told you not to talk!
If she sent us that,
it means she knows where we live.
Why is she still hiding?
Do you think Bu In is married?
I wonder what she's doing now.
Wherever she is,
whatever she does, I hope she's happy.
See? I'm right.
It's not reluctance or obsession. It's love.
Isn't it?
I need to use the toilet.
Darn you.
They're blue like the waves
I'm just way too surprised
Cha Dalrae!
- Hey! - The tide's coming in. Get out.
Hurry, hurry.
- You come here. - Hurry.
Do you think Bu In is married?
I wonder what she's doing now.
Wherever she is,
whatever she does, I hope she's happy.
Set up a meeting with Oh Dal Sook's agent.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Stepmom was an amazing cook.
So you don't want to eat this?
Do you like this?
- Dong Hyun, your lunch. - Mom.
Drop by Mom's after school.
I'll cook you dinner.
Did you meet the chairman of the board?
We don't see eye to eye.
She thinks very highly of you.
She strongly recommended you as the lead for the next production.
That means she helped me.
- Why? - What for?
She thinks you're good?
That's weird too. There must be a reason.
