(Episode 16)
So Ri, did you move out?
Yes. I'm living here from now on.
Why you...
No. Absolutely not.
What do you mean, no?
And I'm warning you. Don't come here again.
- What? - You're banned.
You're the one who can't come here. So Ri, you...
You can't be here.
Ha Ru and I are getting married.
So Yun A, I'm begging you. Give it up.
Your obsession isn't normal.
Snap out of it.
Your dad and his mom...
They're having an affair.
What was that?
Your dad and Ha Ru's mom are having an affair.
An affair.
That's why the two of you,
So Ri and Ha Ru, can't be together.
Who says that? That's nonsense.
Ask your mom if you don't believe me.
She knows too.
That was why Kyung Jun and I went to Yangyang.
Because your mom asked us to.
Do you get it now?
Should I not have told them?
No.
Keeping it a secret isn't the solution.
What if they elope...
because they don't know?
They need to know so that they can snap out of it.
That's right. Yes.
How could you tell them?
Whatever. Bye.
Darn it. I'm the moron for trusting Yun A.
What now?
I became the tattle-tale.
Darn it.
Do you think what Yun A said was true?
How could my dad and your mom...
That's ridiculous.
There must be a misunderstanding.
I'll be right back.
(Twist)
Sorry. Did I startle you?
If what you say isn't true,
I'll make you pay.
Okay.
Why would I lie about that?
Who is it this time?
Oh no.
Hi, So Ri.
Right now?
That was why...
That was why you said no?
Ha Ru.
I'm sure you're in shock.
I'm sorry. That wasn't my intent.
Go home.
I actually came to tell you...
some good news.
My dad says he'll invest in Twist.
The green belt on his property was just lifted,
so he received compensation.
- So... - I said get out!
Okay, I'll go.
I'm leaving.
So Ri moved out.
So what?
- What do you mean? - So Ri isn't a child.
Stop freaking out.
My daughter So Ri moved out because of your son Ha Ru.
They won't break up?
Like you said, So Ri isn't a child.
She won't break up just because I tell her to.
Kids these days...
date and break up all the time. Give me a break.
Everyone's different.
It's their first love.
First loves aren't meant to be.
That was how it was for both you and me too.
Were you happy...
that your first love failed?
What do you know about my first love?
Do you know about mine?
No, I don't. How would I?
Fine.
This isn't the time to discuss our first loves.
Also, I say this out of concern for you.
Don't aggravate Ok Hee right now.
She's the one having the hardest time right now.
It's hard for me too.
Sure. It's hard for you too. And me.
And our kids. It's hard for everyone.
So be careful.
I know. I'm not that inconsiderate.
Regardless, this happened because of us,
so I'll try to control myself.
Kids who grew up receiving a lot of love...
are optimistic.
I received a lot of love because I was so pretty.
That was why...
I was optimistic about everything.
But once my life...
started going down the drain, I became cynical.
Really?
Once I met you,
I went back to how I used to be.
I started becoming optimistic again about life.
You did?
You know the Italian movie "Life is Beautiful", right?
I want to be someone...
who can laugh even in the most difficult situations...
just like the father in that movie.
I really like that movie too.
The father lies to his young son...
that their life in the horrible concentration camp is a game...
in order to protect him.
That's right.
If it weren't for the father's lies,
what would've happened to the boy?
He may have died with some horrible memories.
That's true. But Hee Ok,
I don't have time to talk about movies with you.
I need to go.
That's right. Go.
Go and comfort Ok Hee.
Okay.
- Is this it? - Yes.
- Unit 504, right? - Yes.
But So Ri.
If the chairman finds out I brought you here,
he'll punish me.
Don't worry. I'll make sure you're not harmed by this.
But...
do you have to see her?
I said to go.
Okay. I'll go then.
So Ri.
What are you doing here?
And what are you doing here?
Well...
So...
Did you come to see Auntie Hee Ok?
What?
Well... I needed to talk to her about you kids.
- Are you going out with her? - What?
Was that why...
you were opposed to Ha Ru?
How could you...
So Ri.
This is wrong.
You couldn't do this if you cared at all about Mom and me.
Talk to me.
I'm not your daughter anymore.
So don't talk to me ever again.
So Ri.
Honey. Look at this. He ordered chicken...
and ate by himself again.
Again?
How many times is this?
How could a child do that to his parents?
You have no one to blame but yourself.
Mother said she didn't like chicken
Ever since he was a kid,
you gave him all the best foods.
- That was... - He was a spoiled only child.
That's why he doesn't know how to share.
He thinks anything good belongs to him.
Gosh.
- Hey. - I'm home.
Hey, Kyung Jun. Come here.
What is it?
Does it taste good to eat secretly by yourself?
- Well... The thing is... - You selfish brat.
Your mom and dad like chicken too.
That's not it.
You always complain if I order food in the middle of the night.
I didn't want to hear you nag, that was why.
Fine. Sure. That's enough of your lame excuse.
Let me take out a loan in your name.
What?
You're a permanent employee at Dongbang.
Let me get a bank loan in your name.
I want to open a pizza place.
Why you... I said no.
I'm still on probation.
And why would a bank lend me that much money?
I'm not asking for the entire amount.
I'm saying...
chip in as much as you can.
No. We've agreed to live our own, separate lives.
What? Separate...
- You ungrateful little... - Anyway,
So Ri and Ha Ru found out.
Found out what?
About the chairman and Auntie Hee Ok.
Yun A told them.
- What? - Oh no.
And So Ri went to see Auntie Hee Ok.
To do what?
Obviously... I wouldn't know.
Oh no.
It only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch.
Everyone's lives are being ruined...
because of that wench Hee Ok.
I thought you should know.
So, be prepared.
I know it's hard for you too, but imagine how hurt So Ri is.
So... You need to be strong...
and take care of So Ri.
Okay?
Are you still there?
I'm home.
Now what?
Your daughter knows.
So Ri and Ha Ru found out about you...
and Hee Ok.
- I know. - You do?
I saw So Ri.
You saw So Ri?
So? What did you say?
I didn't get a chance to say anything. She spoke and left.
What did she say?
That she's no longer my daughter.
I'm sure she hates me and resents me.
I can't blame her for lashing out.
Exactly. So why did you have to create this mess? Why?
Sorry.
What will you do now?
I'll have to wait until So Ri comes home.
You'll wait?
Like she'd come back on her own?
Then what?
Die.
Just die, you rat!
You blocked her investment and you blocked her love.
You despicable louse.
What kind of dad are you?
You're no dad! Do you realize that?
If anything happens to my child,
I'll kill you. Got that?
Do you get it?
So Ri.
Where did she go?
Darn it.
You waited for me all this time?
- Yes. - Why? What more do you have to say?
I'm going to take you home with me.
Why would I go to your home?
You have nowhere to go.
Why don't I have a place to go?
Then why did you come back here?
Don't you see your dad standing there to take you home?
Ha Ru needs time to think alone.
So stay with me for a few days.
- Forget it. - I'll cook for you.
Shut your mouth and come with me.
So Ri.
I'm sorry.
Dad's really sorry.
I'm sorry.
Are you really leaving?
It's better to live comfortably there...
than tiptoe around you two.
Bye.
I'll take them.
He's doing that because he heard you two fight...
about So Ri in the middle of the night.
I don't know what it is, but I heard yelling at times.
How could we sleep when you two fight like that?
I'm sorry.
I'm sure it's hard for you too, to have us here.
We'll go down and rest there for a few days.
(Amor Fati Care Home)
Hello.
- How have you been? - Hello.
(Amor Fati Theater)
Wow. Is this really a care home?
It's nice, right?
This was my idea.
I wanted to spend...
my final years in a place like this.
You made a good business call.
The retirement industry is the big thing now.
My gosh.
How is it? Is everything okay?
Thank you.
Your hair looks great.
You look much younger too.
How nice.
Hello, sir.
Hi.
How have you been?
Of course. It's all thanks to you.
Madam. You look younger every time I see you.
You're pretty and sweet.
(Amor Fati Care Home)
Let me take your blood pressure and measure your blood sugar level.
Sure.
Good job.
Mom and Dad can live here later on too.
(Dry sauna)
We meet again.
What brings you here?
My grandfather is here.
What are you doing here?
My grandfather is here as well.
Did you know? We met by chance three times already.
They say if coincidences add up, it's destiny.
I think we must be destined.
Okay, then.
Wait. You can't just leave.
What is it?
Where are you going?
Home.
- I'll take you. - Pardon?
I'll drive you.
Why would you do that?
And I have a car.
I just didn't bring it, that's all.
I had a problem with it and left it at the shop.
Oh dear.
Even better.
I'll drive you home.
We are destined after all.
Are you sure?
Let's go.
Look. I came every day at different times,
and it's consistently busy.
Whatever. The problem is the money.
How can we open a restaurant with no money?
We can just get the money.
From where?
Our sole support Ok Hee turned her back on us.
So where will we get the money?
Look who's here.
It's Dung Man.
Who...
It's me, Park Ki Tae.
Park Ki Tae?
That's right. Park Ki Tae from Yongam High.
That delinquent?
You're Ok Hee's friend, right?
I heard you two got married.
Anyway, it's good seeing you like this.
It's so good.
Okay. Sure.
Let's have a drink and catch up.
- What? - Let's go.
- But...
Dung Man, what have you been up to?
Well... I ran a few businesses...
doing this and that...
and am taking a short break right now.
I doubt that. I'm sure you've been taking a long break.
That's not true. It hasn't been that long. I mean it.
Then why do you look like that?
What happened to Yongam High's hottie Dung Man?
I'm old now.
I started to let go.
It's best to let nature take its course.
Really?
Well, then. Let go and let's drink.
I can't really drink.
Drink.
Okay.
Bottoms up.
Bottoms...
Time flies.
It seems like only yesterday that you carried my bag.
Why are you bringing up the past?
Don't be scared.
I won't hit you again.
Don't worry.
I've changed too.
I'm a new man too.
Okay.
So... What do you do now?
Me?
I'm in the money business. I invest.
You're in the money business?
Doing what?
I made a lot of money running a lodging business...
and a karaoke bar.
But it got too tiring once I got older.
So I left it to the guys under me...
and now, since I have money saved up,
I invest here and there. In cash.
I see.
Anyway, do you keep in touch...
with Kwang Nam?
I realized I forgot these.
I used them just once when we had guests over,
that was it.
- Should I prepare lunch? - Yes, please.
Don't bother. She's leaving after her tea.
Okay.
I see you're still very mad at me.
I know you don't feel like eating with me.
So why did you come?
I told you. I came to return this.
Next time, send it with Kyung Jun.
I came because I was worried about you.
I feel bad for the kids,
but this may be a good thing for you.
- What? - Kwang Nam...
will end things with Hee Ok at least for So Ri's sake.
Am I wrong?
So...
I know it's hard for you,
but just let him be for now.
She was his first love after all.
His first love?
Who was his first love?
Hee Ok.
Kwang Nam's first love...
was Hee Ok.
Kwang Nam's first love was Hee Ok?
That's right.
Hey. Let's stop talking about Kwang Nam.
Tell me about you.
What do you invest in?
Do you want to know?
Of course.
If you want to know,
just answer my darn questions.
Then I'll tell you what I invest in and how.
Okay. Fine.
What do you want to know?
Does Ok Hee know...
that Kwang Nam's first love was Hee Ok?
Of course, not.
She wouldn't have married him if she had known.
You know how close she and Hee Ok were.
I know that.
I know very well just how close they were.
I see. You do know.
Gosh. But...
Ok Hee and Hee Ok, the closest friends in the world,
have become...
sworn enemies because of Kwang Nam.
They became sworn enemies?
Why?
Kwang Nam.
Your first love...
was Hee Ok?
What about you?
Do you think Kwang Nam married you because he loved you?
He said he married you because he felt sorry for you.
Because he felt so sorry for you.
Hee Ok was right.
Kwang Nam...
did marry me because he felt sorry for me.
Out of pity.
Therefore, those two families...
are falling apart.
It is unavoidable...
for the parents and children...
not to fight.
Wow. But Dung Man...
Darn it. I'm not Dung Man.
I'm not Dung Man.
I'm Dong Man. Okay?
Fine, okay. Dung Man... Darn it.
Dong Man.
Anyway, Hee Ok has a son two years older than Ok Hee's daughter?
Yes. He's the same age as our son.
That's right.
How old is your son?
He's 30.
That's odd.
What's odd?
From what I heard,
Hee Ok got married after Ok Hee.
How could Hee Ok's son be two years...
older than Ok Hee's daughter?
Well, that's because...
Because?
Well... Hee Ok had him...
before she got married.
Hee Ok had a baby before she got married?
What are you doing here?
Sit down.
See? I told you I'd cook for you.
Is young radish all you eat?
It's yummy.
My mom dreamt of young radishes when she was pregnant with me.
Here. Try this.
It's amazing because my dad farmed it himself.
Are you telling me to eat this with my hand?
Yes. It tastes better that way.
Sorry, but I didn't grow up like that.
Bring me scissors or a knife. Let me cut it.
Just eat what you're given. You little...
You're just a freeloader.
That's right. You were a princess.
Sorry for forgetting, Your Highness.
Hold on.
Gosh.
I'll cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Stop it. Act normal.
It's okay.
Remember how close we used to be in high school?
Although we became enemies because of Ha Ru.
You know how much...
I used to like you.
When I moved from the countryside and transferred...
to a school in Seoul and first saw you...
My gosh. I wondered how a girl could be so pretty.
I mean it.
Stop it.
We were good friends...
before I met Ha Ru.
Am I wrong?
Sure, we were.
Until you met Ha Ru.
I want to go back to the way we were before.
I've lost Ha Ru.
I don't want to lose a friend too.
Do you mean it?
Yes. Love is love, and friendship is friendship.
I'm going to be friends with you until the day we die.
The best and closest of friends.
Thanks for thinking that.
You must be hungry. Try it.
I'm going to eat it like this.
- Really? - Yes.
You said it tastes better this way.
It's good.
Isn't it?
I'm shocked to see you actually visit your mom.
You're not my mom.
Even on paper, it says you're my aunt.
When I was a child,
my grandmother got mad at me if I didn't call you "Auntie".
I hated and resented her for it back then.
But now, I'm grateful...
that you cut our ties as mother and son.
Uncle, who adopted me only to claim my inheritance...
and then dumped me at an orphanage because his business failed,
and you...
are nothing but strangers to me.
I'm angry about Uncle too.
That was why I haven't spoken to him in years.
But not me.
Why am I a stranger?
Whatever the case may be, I gave birth to you.
And I sent money to support you through college.
I said I'd pay you back.
Don't try to act like a mom because of that stupid money.
It makes me sick.
What? It makes you sick?
That stupid money?
Do you know...
Regardless, I'm your mom.
Like it or not, I'm your mom.
- That's not right. - Why not?
Because then I have to break up with So Ri.
- What? - If I'm your son,
my relationship with So Ri will become wrong.
So let's go back to being an aunt and nephew... No.
Let's be total strangers, Ms. Park Hee Ok.
This is what I came to say.
Do you...
Do you really plan to marry So Ri?
You won't break up with her?
That's right.
(Love Twist)
Are you laughing?
It's funny. I'm a bad son and you're having an affair.
You're the one who needs to snap out of it!
Why do you keep showing up during hard times in my life...
and making it so difficult for me?
Let's break up.
What can we do? This is as far as we're meant to go.
Let's break up.
Yes, let's do that.
