(Hate to Love You)
(Episode 24)
It's carp bread.
That's right. It's carp bread.
- It's still warm. - Yes.
You're not even wearing gloves on this cold day.
Please don't do this again.
You'll probably understand this.
It's like how a dad wants to get warm carp bread for his family.
That must be why everyone wants to live with those they love.
My gosh, what am I saying?
I hope you enjoy them, Ms. Kim.
- I should get going. - Okay.
- See you. - Bye.
Be careful. You'll get hurt badly if you slip and fall. Oh, no.
Goodbye.
What's that, Ms. Kim?
What? It's nothing.
Oh, I smell carp bread.
I'm telling you. Food follows me everywhere I go.
I'm going to eat this all by myself.
That really hurt my feelings.
Hey, Eun Jo.
Hey. You're just getting home now?
What's the matter?
Do you have something to say to me?
Why didn't you tell me that Bu Sik's mom assists the hairstylist?
What? You met her?
Or did the lawyer tell you about it?
Don't you want me to marry a better guy?
Didn't you say that you hired an expensive matchmaker?
The most important thing is what kind of person he is.
Well, how you feel about the guy is obviously more important than that.
Have the two of you already discussed about getting married?
You two only met recently.
If you don't think that his family is well-off enough,
I'll try to find someone else for you.
I won't be stingy about your marriage.
I'll hire another matchmaker if you want me to.
You want a guy whose dad is the head of a hospital...
or a university? Tell me whatever you want.
I never said I wanted to get married now.
I'm just saying.
Gosh, that girl never does anything I tell her to do.
I'll talk to her.
Eun Jo!
What's the matter with you?
I've heard a lot from my friends, who married rich people.
It's glamorous at first, but it turns out to be bad in the end.
My goodness, you always say the right things.
- Haeng Ja, what's that by the way? - What?
It's nothing.
Hey, finish this up, and get some rest.
Even she has secrets now.
I saw that man in front of our place.
He's the one, right? Haeng Ja's friend.
Did you say hello to him?
It was dark, and I was a bit far away, so I couldn't see well.
Are you still a little upset about it?
How I feel isn't important.
I saw Haeng Ja smiling and laughing with him.
It's been a while since I last saw her so happy.
She does seem happy these days.
But when it comes to dating,
people, regardless of age, get more passionate...
when those around them try to dissuade them from the relationship.
So you should just be understanding and accept it.
Leave the rest up to her.
You sound like a dating expert when you talk like this.
Hey, my life wouldn't be like this if that was the case.
To tell you the truth, all of my knowledge is from books.
By the way, don't you like the lawyer's family?
Does something bother you?
Gosh, it's my turn now.
What's bothering you?
His mother or the family itself?
I didn't think that his family would be...
I mean, his mother too.
I've never thought about marriage while seeing him,
but visiting his place today...
totally gave me a wake-up call.
No one is forcing you to get married right away. Don't feel that way.
"When it comes to marriage, reconsidering it a million times..."
"and even more isn't enough."
That's also from a book.
Gosh, this is nothing special. Why didn't I share it with Myung Jo?
It's all shrunk. It looks just like me.
Hey.
So? What did Eun Jo say?
She saw Mr. Jung in front of the house.
Well, she only saw him from afar.
You should introduce him to the kids since this has already happened.
I should, right?
Why are you hesitating?
Well...
Things were less complicated when I just had a crush on him.
You're scared, aren't you?
Scared? Don't you know who I am?
Since you've gotten to know him more now,
you must feel that you already have enough.
He probably makes you feel safe and comfortable, doesn't he?
Goodness, you think you can read my mind, don't you?
The family register issue must be bothering you the most.
But marrying him will take care of the problem.
That must be what you're thinking now.
You can see that?
I can read you like a book, you know.
Even though Eun Jo may not applaud the idea,
it doesn't look like she'll ruin it either.
So you should just go ahead and introduce him to them.
By the way, did she tell you anything about the lawyer?
I think she's disappointed that his family isn't well-off.
And I also think that she's a bit flustered...
to realize that marriage is reality.
Is that right?
It's like how a dad wants to get warm carp bread for his family.
That must be why everyone wants to live with those they love.
I'll be able to register Eun Jo and Myung Jo as my family...
and live with a man whom I like.
I thought that it'd only be possible in my dreams.
- I'm leaving for work. - Your stomach must be upset.
- It's all right. - At least have some soup.
You should cure your hangover. Here.
Don't try to relieve your stress through drinking.
Your health is more important than work.
Work?
Eun Jo told me that you drank because of work.
Did she come in here?
What's wrong with that? She's known us long enough.
She said that you're a good person.
Gosh. Seriously.
Actually, I have something to tell you.
- I wanted to talk last night... - I'll go first.
Don't cause trouble with men until I get married.
What? Are you two already talking about getting married?
That must've been why she wasn't hesitant to come in last night.
Your guy problems may ruin my plans.
I've made it clear to you, so you better behave yourself.
Hey, wait.
My "guy problems"?
So basically, he doesn't want me to date anyone.
This isn't good.
Good luck, Mom!
Goodness.
- Hello. - Hi.
What did she cheer you on?
Oh, that. They told me to get remarried.
I can't even respond to such a ridiculous idea.
Did your daughters tell you to get remarried?
They just don't want me to be in their ways. Those sly brats.
I envy you.
What's with you? You're the one who is going to get remarried.
Are you going to step out to see your friend again today?
He is not even an issue right now.
What then?
Did his crazy sister already stop you from seeing him?
Bu Sik did.
He told me not to date anyone no matter what.
What did I tell you? You should've told him first.
Even I would've done that.
I really meant to introduce him to Bu Sik this time,
but Bu Sik told me not to go on dates even before I mentioned him.
I know what I've done was wrong,
but I think Bu Sik closed his mind completely to this matter.
What should I do now?
So are you going to give up on him?
Don't be ridiculous.
It's not like Bu Sik will live my life for me.
How should I change Bu Sik's mind?
Hi, Bu Sik.
Are you sober now?
Where?
Okay. I'll go to the cafe when I'm free.
Why did you sigh so deeply? A penny for your thoughts.
You know, that day...
When?
The day when Suk came by.
Forget it.
Did anyone ask for me?
- No, Ms. Kim. - Okay.
- What is it? - I have something to tell you.
All right. Tell me anything as it is.
I'll hear whatever you have to say.
The last time Suk came here, what did you two talk about?
Suk... Suk.
Was it about the man from the beauty center?
Did you say anything particular?
No.
Let me think. He came and...
Maybe he was worried that I always dress like this.
He bought a scarf for me.
That was sweet of him,
but if he takes care of everyone like that, he can't save money.
So did you talk about how to save money?
No, I didn't tell him that.
I'm just saying how I felt.
What else? Oh, I told him to come over for a meal any time.
I said I'll be his mom.
You didn't say anything unusual.
He showed symptoms similar to your dad's.
So I talked about it too.
You talked about panic disorder?
Wasn't that the reason you cared so much about him?
That's why I talked about it. I told him not to worry.
Gosh. What should I do? Why did you say such a thing?
He has so much pride.
All right.
What's the matter with her?
Hold on. Anyway...
How am I going to ask them to meet Mr. Jung with me?
The person you have reached is not available. Please leave a message...
Suk, let's meet up and talk.
If you're at the beauty center, I'll go there to see you.
I have to do something at home today.
I'll get in touch soon.
Did something happen between you and Ms. Gil Eun Jo?
Don't say anything.
You looked excited when you were shopping for her gift.
Okay.
- Is it done? - Yes.
I want to be alone.
Thank you for your help.
I'll call you if we ever need legal assistance again.
Thank you.
I guess you have plans with Ms. Gil Eun Jo.
That's right.
Ms. Gil, could you spare me some time?
I'll call you soon.
Okay. Then...
Is your stomach okay?
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I think I talked about my mother. I didn't say harsh things, did I?
I should've held back, but I got angry instantly.
You were very drunk indeed.
I'm really sorry.
I heard you came to my house and met my mother.
How do you think of her?
Well, I had known her before then.
Of course I didn't know she was your mother at that time.
Is that so?
I was surprised when I heard you came to my house.
That's how we live.
That wasn't how I wanted you to come over to my house.
What's going on? Why does that weasel-like lawyer...
and Ms. Kim's arrogant daughter look so serious?
I'm back...
Why...
- Why... Why? - Well...
About Lawyer Byun and Ms. Kim's daughter...
Eun Jo? I mean, do you know Ms. Kim's daughter?
I happened to see them walk together.
I'm planning to pretend not to know until Ms. Kim introduces her to me.
Oh, I see.
However, they seem quite close. What relationship are they in?
Well... You will find out eventually.
I'll just tell you one thing.
Like this. Like this. Like this.
This is how things are going.
Like this. Like this. Like this?
Does that mean Weasel dumped In Woo...
and started dating Ms. Kim's daughter?
I have a bad feeling about this.
Excuse me, Mr. Lawyer. Spare me a second.
Sure.
Hi. It's been a while, Haeng Ja.
- Hi. - Hi.
I'd like to talk to Mi Ae for a minute.
Shall we step out briefly?
- What? - Stay here.
If you go out, you'll have to spend your money.
I'll give you guys some privacy.
Have a seat.
In fact, Eun Jo came by my house last night.
I know. I heard.
That's what I wanted to talk about.
What is it?
Did Eun Jo tell you something?
Whatever Eun Jo wants, I would be on her side.
And if she likes someone,
I would never disapprove of him. You know that, right?
You're beating around the bush so long. It's a bad sign.
You're right.
I don't think Lawyer Byun would be a good match for Eun Jo.
Why not? What's wrong with Bu Sik?
Lawyer Byun alone is a good catch.
He's friendly and good at his work.
He's also quick-witted.
So are you saying that it's all because of me?
Since Eun Jo grew up under a tough money lender,
she's reckless and does everything she wants.
However, she's also thoughtful and affectionate.
And above all, she's pitiful.
I want to help her get married into a decent family...
and enjoy a wealthy and happy life.
To be honest, would decent parents...
want to have a daughter-in-law like Eun Jo?
- What did you say? - Eun Jo and Bu Si aren't different.
The only good thing about Eun Jo...
is the fact that she has such a rich guardian like you.
But to be frank with you, it's only a rumor that you're rich.
It's not like I confirmed it myself.
It's just that you act so stingy,
so people assume that you saved a lot of money...
Wouldn't that be the case?
Are you finished?
Well... I went overboard.
- What I'm saying is... - All right. I understand.
Wait. That's not what I mean. What I'm saying is...
that Eun Jo and Bu Sik are not in very different situations.
If they like each other, nothing else should matter.
It looks like Eun Jo was disappointed at how you live.
That makes sense to you, right?
Gosh.
Why is everyone being like this to me?
Please go ahead.
How long have you been working for Ms. Kim?
Why are you asking that?
You'll find out soon,
but I'm quite close to Ms. Kim.
What kind of relationship do you mean?
You never know what could happen in life,
but I think I've found a good companion in my later years.
Does Ms. Kim feel the same?
You can ask that to Ms. Kim.
It looks like you're helping Ms. Kim with legal matters.
So I just want us to get along well with each other.
Hey. When an elder holds out his hand first,
a young man like you should reciprocate the politeness.
Oh, okay. I understand what you're trying to say.
But how should I address you?
This is my business card from the days when I used to be a professor.
Dr. Jung.
Gosh. Just call me Mr. Jung.
Is he approaching her daughter for reasons similar to mine?
Okay, Mr. Jung.
Is he hanging around Ms. Kim because of money?
I think that we probably share a lot in common.
- Sorry? - Why are you so surprised?
We're single, we like to drink,
and we're both men. Isn't that right?
Oh, yes.
You little weasel.
He's sly.
Human emotions are so unpredictable.
What should I do now?
If Ms. Kim is against it,
it won't be easy for them to get married.
Does that mean In Woo will get a chance?
But there's no guarantee that it'll be In Woo.
Why are you home so late?
We had many customers today.
Hey, have a seat here.
But I'm tired.
Tell me.
Can you really not get over Bu Sik?
How many times have I told you?
Even if he marries another woman?
What does that have to do with how I feel about him?
Unless I meet a man who's better than him,
he'll always be the only one for me.
Gosh, that made me cringe.
I wish you weren't like me in that regard.
Hey, that's precisely why I'm living like this now.
Mom.
Actually...
What is it?
Is it about your dad getting remarried?
How did you know?
In Jung told me.
She said he met a rich woman.
Are you okay?
Why wouldn't I be?
I told you that I wish him the best.
Don't look at me like that.
I want both you and Dad...
to be happy.
Think about yourself first. I want everything to go well for you.
That will make me happy.
Gosh, I'm so frustrated. Goodness.
I can neither stop her nor force her to listen to me.
I can't let her stay single forever.
Hey, Bok Rae. Yes. It's me, Jung Sook.
Do you know anyone who's good?
Yes, a fortune-teller.
Is that what Ms. Kim told you?
Yes.
She likes you, but not our financial situation.
I think Eun Jo is disappointed.
That being said, I found a way...
to make our situation better for you to get married.
Is this about a guy?
I know what you're worried about, but he's different.
I really wanted to introduce him to you.
I told you that you can't date anyone until I get married.
Don't decide what I can or can't do. Hear me out first.
Go ahead then.
He told me that I was his first love.
See?
To me, he already sounds like a con man.
Why are you so negative?
Go on.
As you know, I grew up like a princess...
until my freshman year of college.
He and I dated for a little while back then.
And don't be surprised.
How can I be more surprised than this?
He's the chief director of Genius.
What? The Genius that I know?
Chief Director Goo Choong Seo.
Director Goo Jong Hee's brother.
Why would he go for a woman like you?
Like I told you, I was his first love.
He also knows that I'm an assistant hairstylist. That says enough.
If it still bothers you, you can go ahead and vet him.
Dad. It's me, Choong Seo.
Your eldest son, Goo Choong Seo.
I worried you all your life.
Now, I'm as old as you were when you passed away.
Pour him a glass.
He's not your biological grandfather,
but he raised your mother, who had nowhere to go,
after losing both of her parents at a young age.
I know.
I'm aware that you don't like to talk about your mom,
but we do need to talk about her today.
- Choong Seo. - Stay out of it.
He needs to hear what he needs to know.
As you know, your mom and I are cousins.
That's so random. Who doesn't know that?
We're not siblings, but she took me under her wing...
and groomed me to become the chief director...
even though I was a penniless, unknown singer.
That didn't come for free.
She used you as a shield for Suk Pyo.
Gosh, be quiet.
I'm well aware of that.
That's how my mom is.
It was going well until you interrupted.
Why do you always have to nitpick everything?
You don't take after me at all.
Well, I mean our dad. I'm a lot like Dad,
but I have no idea whom you take after.
Are you already drunk after that one glass?
You're going on and on about the same thing.
Let's wrap this up now.
I'm about to tell him what he really needs to hear.
I told you that it's enough.
I'm seriously thinking about getting remarried.
To whom?
I ran into my first love recently.
It looks like she's alone and living with her son as well.
I'm not going to rush anything.
I'll take time to get to know her more.
Anyway, you're the owner of this house,
so I wanted to give you a heads-up about my situation.
It ended before it even really began.
- Haeng Ja, what are you doing? - Hey.
What... What's up?
Do you want to talk to me about something?
No, I just couldn't fall asleep.
Aren't you young enough to conk out as soon as you lie down?
All right. So? What's bothering you now?
Nothing is bothering me.
Re-activate my credit card.
I'm tracking my expenses thoroughly.
Haeng Ja.
Just do whatever you want to do.
With what?
That friend of yours. Date him if you want to.
You don't really need our permission.
You still don't know me well enough?
I want to get permission from you and Myung Jo on everything.
Especially on matters like this.
What are you talking about? You're already seeing him.
I'll break up with him right away if you guys don't like it.
That easily?
Can you actually do it?
Should I marry you off soon or what?
Why are you acting so mature suddenly? You're scaring me.
Why do you keep talking about that? I like how things are now.
What's going on? Are you upset because of the lawyer?
No, it's not that.
Anyway, I can sleep here, right?
Goodness, what has gotten into you?
Hey, you've never done this before.
What are you talking about? I used to sleep beside you occasionally.
Gosh, that was when there was thunder and lightning...
Okay, all right. You can sleep here.
Even ending it before starting it hurts this much.
You're happy these days, Haeng Ja.
I have no right to stop that.
What are you doing? You said you'd sleep here. Go bring your pillow.
Whether it's about the lawyer or someone else,
I'm sure something is going on with you.
I can tell even if you don't tell me.
That's what you have to go through to grow up. You have no choice.
You brat.
That fortune-teller only made things more complicated.
I wasted my time and money.
I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing.
The fortune-teller said In Woo and Bu Sik are meant to be,
and bad luck is stopping them.
I would do this 100 more times because I'm her mom.
However, how am I supposed to put this in Bu Sik's pillow?
Mi Ae. Mi Ae.
Yes? I'm here.
What are you doing? You said you had lunch.
He bought me expensive food, but it was too greasy.
I guess I've aged after all.
That wasn't enough to make me feel full.
You must've eaten a small piece of steak.
You're right.
If you haven't eaten lunch, join me.
No, I'm good. By the way,
I met your landlady earlier.
She said the walls got rotten due to a water leak.
Don't get me started. The walls are filled with mold.
What has gotten into her?
That woman persistently denied that she was responsible.
How do you even live in that condition? Where is it?
Right here.
So this is how a lawyer's room looks like.
It's too small, but we have no choice.
We should live within our purse.
So the wall behind the bed is rotten, right?
Gosh. You should take this bed out.
Oh, no. It sounds like a hassle.
I think we better hold out until we move out.
You should help him live in a proper environment.
What's with you? You're making me uncomfortable.
Come on. We've known each other for a long time.
We should help each other out.
That won't make Bu Sik In Woo's boyfriend.
You never know what could happen.
Won't you even give me a cup of coffee? That's mean.
- Exactly which part is rotten? - Give me a minute.
Why are my hands shaking so much?
What are you doing? Come out.
Okay.
Did you really call Eun Jo over here?
Yes. I thought it'd be nice if she meets him naturally.
But where is Mr. Jung?
I think he went to the restroom.
- He'll be back shortly. - Gosh.
Whose number is this?
Hello?
It's me, Haeng Ja. I'm the kids' aunt.
What makes you call me?
Judging from your voice, I'm sure you haven't changed.
Just say what you have to say.
What? Just checking on me?
I'm doing well, so you should do the same.
She didn't call me for years. What's going on with her now?
She probably wants my money.
She asks me for money because I helped her out a few times.
Whatever the reason is, I will make sure not to give her any money.
Try, and dare to call me 100 times.
- Ms. Kim, I'm here. - Hi.
My lawyer said you wanted to give me your last rent...
in person.
Here. This is my last monthly rent.
Okay. Good.
What are you going to do now?
It's none of your business.
It's not because of you.
I'm just worried about your wife who lives her life to the fullest.
Think of this as a chance to quit gambling...
Mind your own business, and stop living off poor people.
What did you just say?
You have no right to tell me such a thing!
- Darn. - What?
Listen.
What you just did is an act of terror and violence.
Apologize to her now!
Apologize to Ms. Kim this instant!
I'm sorry. I was just too angry.
- Gosh. How... - Hey. You jerk!
- Oh, no. My goodness. - How could this happen?
Are you... Are you all right, Mr. Jung?
He brought flour because he had a conscience.
What if he had brought sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid?
Have you been living such a tough life until now?
Oh, my. Eun Jo.
Are you Ms. Kim's daughter?
I finally meet you. I'm Jung Geun Sup.
