Why isn't he coming?
He'll be late for his class at the institute.
Mom... Mom?
Hee Jin... Hee Jin.
Mom!
Yes?
Ma'am.
Mom, she's the lady who bought me a burger the other day.
Hello.
Yes, hi.
Let's go.
Mom, what's wrong?
I said let's go!
What's the matter?
Did something happen?
No, it's nothing.
What's going on?
I said it's nothing!
My gosh. Honey, what's the matter?
What did I do?
Why are you throwing a fit at Ms. Oh?
What do you mean by that?
What is with you?
I'm just in a bad mood.
I'm angry, and my blood is boiling. I feel like I'm going crazy!
Am I not allowed to be in a bad mood?
I can be upset at times too!
I never said you can't. Why are you so upset?
You're acting like something happened.
Where are you going?
I'm so mad and frustrated. I'm stepping out to let off steam!
What is the matter with her?
I have no idea either.
She stepped out earlier to pick up Hae Chan, and all of a sudden...
Hee Jin, Hee Jin!
Why is she so upset?
Has she found out about me?
What on earth is happening?
Why did you go out to pick up groceries when you're feeling sick?
You should've just asked the housekeeper to do it.
Goodness.
My gosh, your forehead is burning up.
We need to do something about this. I'll call a doctor.
Let's go.
Is this how it feels to wait for a boyfriend who had change of heart?
- What is this about? - "What is this about?"
Do you have to be so cold?
You stayed until late.
I've been waiting for my friend to finish his work.
Aren't you hungry?
- Not really. - I am.
Let's go. I haven't eaten anything because I've been waiting for you.
Let me see your face.
Don't be so upset.
Are you not going to see me again?
Will you not see me anymore?
Would that be okay with you?
Bo Ra.
I would be really sad.
We were good friends.
I don't want to end our friendship like this.
Let's get going.
Hello?
Ju Young, it's me, your mom.
Mom.
Yes, it's me. Have you been well?
Of course, I have.
How have you been?
Are you well?
I miss you, Mom.
Don't you miss your son?
Of course, I miss you too.
I'll visit you soon.
Are you serious? That's a promise.
Yes, it's a promise.
Don't skip meals,
and take good care of your health, okay?
Okay. I'll call you later.
Okay. Bye.
Why did you come out?
I got a little thirsty.
You said your son is studying abroad, right?
Yes. That's right.
Did you tell your son about Sang Chul?
No, not yet.
I understand you must be worried about your son,
but your son would be happy if you live happily.
I understand.
As I aged, I realized that life doesn't have to be complicated.
I tried my best to lead a good life,
but there are so many things I regret now.
I separated my son from his girlfriend...
he loved saying it was for his own sake,
and separated my grandchildren from their mom...
saying it was for their sake.
Reflecting on what I've done, I think I was only greedy.
I made Sang Chul lonely for no good reason.
I was worried if he would grow old all alone for the rest of his life.
I'm relieved.
Ms. Noh.
Is there anything else I should know about you?
We should also tell my grandchildren about you two soon...
before a weird rumor spreads.
You noticed it that day, right?
It's not that you're against it, right?
It's a little unexpected.
It hasn't been a long time since Ms. Oh moved in.
Does Hee Jin know about this?
Don't get me started. I realized how clueless she is...
because of this.
In fact, she worries more about you than Father.
To Hee Jin, Hae Chan comes 1st, and you're the 2nd.
Sometimes, she puts you before Hae Chan.
As for me, she treats me as she pleases...
as if I mean nothing to her.
I see what you mean, Baek Ho. Good night.
Good night. Go in.
I'm so excited to see how this will turn out.
Even I'm getting nervous.
My heart, calm down.
Oh, I forgot.
Honey, what is the matter?
Tell me what's wrong. You're making me frustrated.
I saw it.
What did you see?
It's ridiculous.
Come on. What did you see?
I don't want to talk about it.
No. It's not even worth speaking of.
Don't be like that. Tell me what it is.
Don't reach to a conclusion by yourself.
I'm your husband.
You should discuss everything with me.
What is it?
Why on earth are you in shock all day long?
My goodness. Are you crying?
I'm not crying.
Why would I?
That would be crazy.
Oh, my.
It seems like she knows.
How did she find out?
Thank you, Dr. Jang. Get home safely.
Goodbye.
How is she doing?
It's all your fault, you brat.
Dad, come on. I'm not your punching bag. Stop blaming me for everything.
I'm trying hard to refrain myself lately.
I don't even go near Ms. Heo.
You know that.
The doctor asked...
if she was shocked or stressed out recently.
So what is her problem?
He said it's gastritis caused by stress.
Gosh. I thought it'd be something serious.
It's only gastritis.
What did you say?
I'm just saying that you're making too big a deal out of it.
It's not that serious.
If it was serious, the doctor wouldn't have let her stay at home.
He would've tell her to stay at a hospital.
I shouldn't have yelled at her no matter how much I was upset.
Your mom isn't so young anymore.
It's too much for her to deal with your temper.
Unless you want to make her collapse,
behave yourself. Do you hear me?
It's me, Mom.
Hee Jin...
Hee Jin.
What are you doing up so late?
What about you?
I got thirsty.
What's this?
I wish I could drink it up,
but I can't.
What's the matter?
Did something happen at work?
Why?
It's all written on your face...
that you have worries.
I don't have worries. I just can't fall asleep.
Is your partner nice to you?
He's just my work colleague.
He seemed like a nice person.
I could tell.
Is he?
Goong Hwa.
If you fall for someone,
don't give up on him...
because you're Woo Ri's mom, or you're the head of this family...
who should take care of everyone.
If you do that, I would very upset,
and it would hurt my pride.
Just follow your heart.
Be aggressive just like you always are.
Why... Why would you say such a silly thing like that?
I'm your twin brother.
I can sense some things even when you don't tell me.
We have telepathy. You know that, right?
I think I should be the one to say that.
I can see that you're going through a hard time.
Stop worrying and go to sleep.
- You're home. - Hi. You're up early.
- Are you going to work out? - Yes.
See you later.
Dad.
I'm on your side no matter what.
About Ms. Oh.
I heard from Baek Ho.
- You did? - You're still young and healthy.
I was always worried that you were left alone. I'm happy for you.
So are you saying that I have your approval?
Who am I to give you my approval?
I wouldn't worry about anyone you chose.
Thanks.
I should be thanking you.
I'm happy that you found a nice lady for yourself.
Hey.
My gosh, you don't really need to thank me.
- Did you enjoy the lunch? - No.
What? That's impossible.
It made me so uncomfortable that I couldn't even taste it.
There's no need to be uncomfortable about it.
I guess no one has ever had a crush on you.
Having a crush on someone is actually more for self-satisfaction.
Therefore, you don't need to be concerned...
with whatever the guy does.
Well, I'd appreciate the attention though.
The substation is where I work.
I know. That's why I didn't send you flowers.
Mr. Jin.
Do you like someone?
If that's not the case, meet me for just three times.
I may not come across as a nice guy, but I actually am.
I won't ask for more.
Please have three dates with me.
I think we've already met three times.
Goodness, those weren't dates.
It's enough for me.
And if you send me lunch once again,
I'll knock you out with the shoulder throw.
I hope I've made it clear enough.
Wait.
"Meet me for just three times"?
I must've really lost my mind.
The shoulder throw?
Fine, bring it on.
Try to think about how we can look after...
people in the area who live alone, especially the elderly.
Chief, how about we team up with a yogurt delivery service...
to check in on the elderly who live alone?
- Mr. Cha, submit a proposal. - Yes, sir.
The number of seniors who are found dead alone keeps increasing.
What if I end up dying a lonely death...
all alone in my room?
That's precisely why you should get remarried.
You've been divorced for over a decade.
I have many aunts who are single.
What do you say? Shall I set you up with one of them?
If they're your aunts,
how old would they be?
Come on. So many men date older women these days.
Plus, they have a lot of this.
- You little... You're so shallow. - Why are you hitting me?
- Come here. - I know you like it.
- Get yourself back here. - Chief, please.
Look at you. How dare you.
Mr. Cha, what are you planning to do on your day off this week?
Corporal Jang, I have a lot of time on my day off.
All right, fine.
I just wanted to look after my partner on my day off, that's all.
I don't have any plans. Why do you ask?
You've been spending so much time trying to teach me kendo.
I'd like to treat you to dinner to thank you.
Sure.
Then I'll pick a place and text you.
What is all this?
They're for Su Hyuk.
It looks like he's been skipping meals all the time.
I wanted to make some side dishes he could take to work.
I hope all of my son's hard work is fruitful.
Goodness, you're such a devoted mother.
Do you love your son that much?
What kind of question is that?
Then...
make sure he doesn't get married too soon.
Why do you say that?
When your son, who used to follow you around,
sides with his wife and coddles her,
it'll be as devastating as getting betrayed by your lover.
He has to take his wife's side after he gets married.
Goodness, people say they're devastated way too often.
Do women enjoy making their sons look like mama's boys or what?
You sound so confident that you won't be like that.
I'll be watching you with my eyes wide open.
Do whatever you want.
I just want him to meet a nice girl and get married.
Oh, I heard that the owner of the rice cake shop has to pay a fine.
Is that right?
I guess you won't be able to go to the market anymore.
Why?
Doesn't what you did make you a whistleblower?
Hey, you're a whistleblower, not me.
Let's pretend we know nothing about it, okay?
I didn't do anything wrong.
Those women should thank me and Goong Hwa.
I saved them from ruining themselves and their families.
Look at you. You're so unbending.
Right, that's the Lee Seon Ok I know.
Exactly.
By the way, why did you make so much food if it's just for your son?
There's a guy who works with him.
He's living away from his family now as he's in a bit of a situation.
That's why I have to take care of him.
Of course. You worry so much about other people.
I wish you a lot of fortune. Here comes good luck.
Thanks, friend.
Ms. Oh.
Where's Ms. Cha?
I told her to stay home because she's not feeling well.
Instead... Ta-da! I'm back.
Has it fully recovered?
Yes, it recovered a long time ago.
Keeping the bandage in this heat almost gave me a heat rash.
Why did you keep it on? You should've just gotten rid of it.
Well, there was a reason I had to keep it on.
By the way, why is Ms. Cha upset?
It's obviously because of Hae Chan.
What about him?
Well, what was that thing?
She wanted to send him abroad to an English camp,
but I firmly told her that he can't go.
Well, I heard that you've known about it.
Actually, I persuaded Grandmother and Tae Jin.
You can say that I got rid of all potential roadblocks...
against your relationship with Father.
I'm not telling you this to get credit for what I did.
I just want things to go well for the two of you.
Shall I say I'm like a supporter?
Thank you, Mr. Kang.
Gosh, please feel free to call me by my first name from now on.
How can I do that?
Why not? I'll be your son-in-law soon.
Hee Jin may need some time.
Please wait just a bit longer.
She loves her mother very much.
All daughters are like that.
Anyway, I'm rooting for you, Ms. Oh.
- Thank you. - Please don't mention it.
Gosh, what should I do to seduce her?
I thought it'd be easy, but it's harder than I thought.
Hey, I know that you're comfortable with me, but have some manners.
Manners, my foot.
I heard you'd be doomed if you get caught three times.
Chairman Jin told me to keep a watchful eye on you.
You must be very excited. You have a chance to prove your abilities.
It looks like you should be careful.
I should be.
You can't achieve anything without effort.
I know that you make effort too.
You do your best to please my dad...
and walk on eggshells around Ms. Heo.
- And with Bo Ra... - Hey.
What I'm saying now has a deep meaning.
Whatever.
I asked Officer Moo to meet me for just three times.
Why? Did she reject you even after you sent her lunch?
- Are you enjoying this or what? - I do find it amusing.
I expressed my sincere feelings.
She should've at least pretended she was touched.
How can she be so cold toward me?
She's too guarded.
It's because she's a mom.
Don't you know how strong moms can be?
If soldiers' moms are assembled when a war breaks out,
they will win every battle...
to protect their sons.
How did I fall for a mom?
You've finally realized it. Stop trying so hard to catch her.
You've been hooked.
Here.
Stop. It's okay. I can eat it on my own.
Gosh, just have one more spoonful.
Here. Come on.
Shall we go on a trip somewhere after you're fully recovered?
We should go away for about three months.
We can travel all over Europe.
I'll take you to those high-end designer shops too.
Mr. Hong raved about the Maldives.
I heard the weather there is amazing.
Is there anywhere you've been wanting to visit?
Any place you want to see?
Just tell me.
I'll take you there.
I realized that I've been too inattentive.
All I did was throw fits at you.
I want to lie down for a bit.
What? Oh, okay. Let me help you.
It's okay.
I forgot to bring you water to take your medication with.
Mom.
Are you feeling unwell?
I'm fine.
What about the institute?
How can I focus on studying when you're sick?
Don't use it as an excuse. Get going now.
If you don't study, I'll get worse.
- Okay. - Hae Chan.
About the lady who bought you a burger.
How was she?
- What do you mean? - Well...
I'm just asking how you thought about her.
I told you everything.
She looked beautiful and rich.
Oh, right. I showed her the photos of our family.
What?
Did she ask you to show her?
No, she didn't. I showed her myself.
Hyun Soo told me to show her how cool my uncle is.
You showed her the photo of your uncle?
Yes, I also showed her the photos of you and the rest of our family.
How did she react?
After that... Oh, she went to the restroom.
Why are you asking? You were so upset yesterday.
No reason. Never mind.
Go to your class.
I can't believe her.
She has never showed up ever since she abandoned us.
Why did she meet my son?
Mom...
I wasn't mistaken then.
Could it be that...
she's been around since then?
Can you make malatang again some time?
It was so tasty.
Okay. Eat up before it gets cold.
Since you left me,
I haven't eaten at a Chinese restaurant.
You acted as if you'd wait for me for the rest of your life,
but you got married before me.
After breaking up with you, I went to Taiwan and came back.
I heard you had already gotten married.
A long time after that, I met my husband through a matchmaker,
and got married.
You did?
I'm glad I did. Or else, I wouldn't have had my son.
Show me some photos of your son.
This is him.
He's handsome.
He looks like you, Choon Rae.
He's never smiled like that...
since he met the girl.
Choon Rae?
Is she...
Choon Rae? Is your name Choon Rae?
Are you the one he dated in the past?
Mom.
- You should write it here. - I see.
(Jin Do Hyun)
I can't talk right now because I'm at work.
It's time to go home.
Officer Moo.
Are you free tonight?
What did you want to tell me?
Are you going to scold me again?
Goong Hwa,
you said you were not dating Mr. Jin.
I know. I clearly told him I didn't want to date him, but...
Go on.
Mr. Jin asked me out.
He said he doesn't mind me having a child.
I don't know why he's doing that.
Men tend to look down on a single mom.
They shouldn't.
If you have nothing else to say, I'll get going now.
Woo Ri is waiting for me.
I...
have feelings for you.
(Lovers in Bloom)
Mr. Cha.
I...
Hee Jin, it's me, your mom.
I'll wait until you come.
Are you the Korean Chinese girl he dated?
- I can't approve of your marriage. - Getting married?
Have you been dating my dad behind my back?
I can't seem to give up on her.
Is it because that guy Cha Tae Jin is around her?
I have feelings for you too, Mr. Cha.
