(Episode 24)
- Here we go! - My gosh.
It smells fantastic.
I don't think two bottles of makgeolli will be enough.
You just worried about staying fit,
and now you're thinking about eating this late?
You're right.
But we have to celebrate...
our first venture onto national TV.
Let's enjoy it in moderation.
Two bottles of makgeolli and two pajeon.
Just today. Let's celebrate with a party.
- Shall we, then? - Thank you.
By the way...
When did our Sol grow up?
The elderly couple had a touching story,
but Sol's every gesture and comment...
Just watching her stand there...
made me so emotional I almost exploded.
I was grinning so hard, the corners of my mouth reached my ears.
I was so pleased.
Will you let me finish explaining?
It's not like that.
Don't follow me.
Can you just stop?
- Here, - Gosh.
- Wait. - Excuse me.
It's Sol.
Hi, Sol.
- Dad! - Are you on your way home?
I'm on my way but a pervert's after me!
What?
Don't!
Darn it. Stop!
- No. Where is it? - What is it, honey?
- Honey! - What's wrong?
- A stick. Where's the stick? - What?
Why do you want a stick?
A pervert is following Sol!
What? What punk...
How dare he touch my daughter?
- Wait. A stick? Find one. - We need a stick!
- I'll take this. - Wait.
- My gosh. - Will this do?
What darn pervert...
Yes. This will do. I can do this to him.
- What do you have? - These.
My gosh!
What fool would dare touch my daughter?
I'll snap his legs!
- Let's go! - Just wait!
- Darn you! - Wait!
Mom!
Sol, are you okay?
Let's escape first.
- You! - Stop, pervert!
- How dare you? - Don't!
Will you please hear me out?
- National anthem boy? - Delivery boy?
Yes. I'm the handsome delivery boy who sang the national anthem!
I'm not a pervert!
As if you aren't. He is a pervert.
She says you're a pervert!
He asked me to let him stay the night.
- It's not that! - What are you up to?
That's what a pervert does!
- Do you know that? - I got you red-handed!
Darn you!
Wait!
No!
What's wrong, Se Na?
I want to cry, Mom.
Why?
I can't reach Jin Woo.
I'm too worried to do anything else.
You scared me. I thought something was wrong.
Do you know what the worst thing is?
I have no reason or cause to control him.
I'm going crazy because I can't reach him all day,
but I have no reason to get angry and annoyed about him.
That's so infuriating.
I'll ask Jin Woo to be my boyfriend.
Mom!
Jin Woo and I should've met as adults.
We met as kids, so he treats me like I'm his little sister.
He thinks I'm cute when I get jealous when I'm serious.
I'm so worried about him that I'm almost in tears.
That proves we're not just friends.
Oh, right. When I fainted.
He rushed to the hospital, so I'm not just a sister to him.
Don't you remember crying for Jin Woo at the hospital?
You didn't want anyone else. All you thought about was Jin Woo.
You cried and called for him.
That's why he came?
Because I called him.
No. He'd have come out of concern...
even if you hadn't called.
I don't know.
You always were so stubborn.
As if.
"As if?"
You don't remember?
I don't. You tell me.
It happened more than once.
On your birthday. It was the 8th or 9th one.
You screamed and cried all morning for Ms. Na.
Don't you remember?
I don't remember.
That was years ago. Why mention a dead woman?
That's not fair.
You need to stop doing that.
Once you set your mind on something or someone,
you don't stop and drive others mad.
Do you know how draining that is?
My gosh.
Who do you think I got that from?
- You got it from me? - Grandpa says we're identical.
We're not.
I wish we weren't.
I might be like you in every way...
but one thing.
Your first love was a failure,
but mine will not be.
Yes. I wish you luck.
Mom.
Did you have a fight with Jin Woo's mom?
Why?
I couldn't reach Jin Woo, so I called his home number.
Ms. Chae didn't sound well.
Was she mean to you?
How can you be kind if you're upset?
Why would an adult take it out on a kid?
She's in the wrong.
Did you really fight?
Why would adults fight?
Try to get along with your daughter's future in-laws.
Do you smell something burning?
I'm so concerned, I feel like I'm burning inside.
I couldn't cancel the meeting because we had important outside guests,
and we were discussing a tough topic that was hard to figure out.
Time went by so slowly,
your cries were ringing in my ears,
and I couldn't guess what was wrong.
Why wouldn't I be upset?
My insides have turned to ash.
Honey.
After you hear what I say to you,
you might hate me.
You might feel sick of me.
Honey.
I know that much,
so I'm scared and nervous,
but I made up my mind to say it.
I'll confess everything I hid from you,
and ask for your forgiveness.
I can't help it if you don't forgive me.
This is me.
Okay.
I'm ready to listen.
- Have a drink. - Oh, dear.
- Eat all you want, darling. - Thanks.
Here.
(Morning Soccer)
I'm taller and fitter than you think.
This is a bit...
Do you have another sweatsuit?
Get out.
No, it's fine. I love the fit and look.
Can I have a cup?
You direct stage plays?
Yes. The play I'll direct next...
is "Road of Spring," a play you wrote and directed.
I came to learn from you and get some advice.
That.
Oh, this?
It's a fake. 20 dollars, from Dongdaemun.
And my jacket that looks like leather.
It's artificial leather. Synthetic.
That's from Dongdaemun too.
I wanted to look good.
I'm a show-off.
Still immature, I know.
Yes.
The taste of makgeolli after a long day of work.
You're so messy.
Sir. What if I hadn't come by?
It's so good.
So that's why you gave me the eye.
He gave you what?
What's that?
It was so creepy.
Sir, why do you think I rode a motorcycle all the way here?
You're right before me now,
and I still don't believe it.
The producer you worked with is a senior at my theater club.
I was in our room reading the "Road of Spring" script,
and as fate would have it,
he called me right at that moment.
What is it?
It's a secret.
I married you...
for your money.
To climb the social ladder,
I approached you on purpose.
Before we met,
I was an anchor that no one knew about.
I couldn't afford...
a decent suit with my salary.
I went to Mi Kang,
and she got me to model for Seonju Fashion.
Do you remember...
when I called you saying I wanted to show my appreciation...
by hosting your company's charity event?
Yes. I remember.
You turned the charity bazaar into a festival.
You spoke into the mic for hours,
promoting goods and explaining the cause.
I didn't know where the energy came from.
I think we almost sold out that day.
That's when I first met Jin Woo...
whom you'd brought that day.
I didn't care much for kids,
but I tortured myself hosting a children's program.
That's how I became Yo Mi, everyone's favorite big sister.
It was all planned.
I wanted to be your wife.
I wanted you.
What made you want to...
tell me this now?
I met Mi Kang today...
and realized the truth.
You groveled to me and brown-nosed me so much,
and smiled at me whenever I spoke,
so you were called Sam Wol.
Are we friends just because our husbands are?
Think carefully if you're even on the right level.
It's true. I really did want to climb the social ladder.
I didn't want to be the underdog who had to smile and grovel.
I wanted to be the person in control...
who could say what she wanted whenever she wanted.
And the cause of it all...
was Mi Kang.
I was born a servant girl,
and to overpower a princess like Mi Kang,
I needed you.
I needed to be a chairman's wife.
I used you,
and I hid that from you.
I wanted to confess and ask for forgiveness.
But honey.
I didn't marry you just for your money.
You and Jin Woo were like one big dog and a puppy.
You'd lost a wife and a mom,
and you were struggling and suffering.
It was so heartrending.
It stuck with me and I wanted to hug you both.
Whatever motivated you to approach me and marry me,
you never stopped showing how you felt.
You'd already...
climbed the social ladder and got what you wanted,
but you kept on trying.
Your tears and effort...
were impossible unless you meant it.
I saw...
how sincere you were.
That's why I know everything.
You don't have to explain.
How can you be so cute at your age?
You're so pure and innocent, you brought up...
something you didn't have to and asked for forgiveness.
When do you think you'll grow out of being cute?
Do you forgive me?
Did you get Jin Woo's call?
I didn't know he was such a good kid.
- He's a good kid? - Yes.
He won't be home tonight.
What?
Before we get too old, let's try for a baby.
Don't be silly.
- Will you stop it? - Come on.
Give me your hand.
Come with me.
Mr. Yoon.
I'm so very happy.
I can't believe this day has come.
You're not leaving this room now.
What?
Don't you worry.
I can't stand her.
Good. What?
Why can't you stand my daughter?
It's just that...
something happened and I'm still hurt.
What do you think gives you the right to dislike my daughter?
That's offensive.
It's not your daughter per se.
It was more like...
the circumstances.
Something happened between us,
and it wasn't that great.
But now...
I've forgotten all about it.
You can see I have broad shoulders and a chest.
I'm not the petty type to dwell on things like that.
A director capable of understanding and directing...
a deep and meaningful work like "Road of Spring"...
should be accepting.
My gosh.
We only met today and I don't know you well,
so let's tie ourselves together.
You don't have to...
No, give me a foot.
There.
However frail and useless you are from top to bottom,
you're still a hotblooded young man.
There.
Let's test this out.
Now lie down.
Don't.
This feels so good.
It's a pity I didn't get a video of it.
A video of what?
You and Dad rushed up...
brandishing a mop handle and kitchen utensils,
and I felt so safe.
"That's my mom and dad, everyone.
After you hung up from telling us about the pervert,
so many thoughts whizzed through my mind in that short while.
The dreadful headlines from the news.
All the scary stories I'd heard came to mind.
And how scared must you be?
My gosh.
I don't even remember putting on my shoes.
I noticed later that I'd worn them...
on the wrong feet.
- Mom. - Yes?
Aren't you upset you never got to wear a wedding dress?
Your dad asked me the same thing.
He asked you that?
We promised...
to have a wedding ceremony on our 20th anniversary.
You did?
Wait.
That's five years from now.
We'll go on a honeymoon too.
To Switzerland.
That's so cool.
Mom. Your wedding and honeymoon.
I'll plan for it.
From start to finish, I'll take care of everything.
I'll pay for the honeymoon too.
A trip for two to Switzerland is expensive.
Don't you worry.
Can't I do that for you after what you did for me?
You never know what I'll have become five years from now.
You're right. I was really proud of you today.
Your dad and I talked about it for a long time.
I'll become successful,
organize you a great wedding,
and send you on your honeymoon.
I'll be an even better daughter.
How can you do even better than this?
You do too much for us already.
I can't imagine...
how I'd have managed without you.
- Mom. - Yes?
How long has it been since we slept together?
I wonder.
I get to sleep with you thanks to the delivery boy.
I'm so pleased.
I like this so much.
I love you.
I must say this, just so you're not mistaken.
My biker pants.
They're really tight and suffocating.
I went up and down so many stairs in them.
Delivering chicken.
I'm a good sprinter,
but long distances.
That's my specialty. I have the muscles and endurance.
I've been told I'm patient and strong-willed.
Okay.
Now about my creative mind...
Leave it.
I get that you're patient, strong-willed, and creative.
Let's get some sleep.
Okay.
I'm actually really tired.
My arms, legs, shoulders, they all ache,
but...
thinking about learning how to direct from you tomorrow...
makes me too excited to sleep...
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
You will be charged.
I couldn't pick up because I was helping a senior at work.
You called a lot of times. Is it urgent?
It's too late to talk now.
Let's talk when I can tomorrow.
It's not too late for me. When will you be free tomorrow?
You made me worry all day and you just sent a few texts?
I can't even sleep.
Why are you upsetting me so much?
Hey, fake leather jacket.
You came voluntarily.
What a good boy.
Welcome back.
No. I'm not here to deliver food.
As if you're not.
Now that you're here, it's time you get to it.
I don't want to deliver food.
Don't complain.
You need to be quick or you'll lag behind.
Get going!
I don't want to go!
I don't want to deliver food!
My gosh.
That hurt.
Darn you.
She bought a man's watch.
It was a really expensive brand.
She put it on the chairman's credit card.
What's to say it was for Do Hyun?
Hello.
Hi.
- Shall we go? - Yes.
You're taking Do Hyun golfing too?
Oh, I have some financial issues,
and I need his advice.
We'll talk about it in the car to the golf course.
- Shall we, Father? - Yes, let's go.
- Have fun. - Bye.
He starts work tomorrow. Why can't they let him rest?
Must they take him out on his day off?
Mom!
What should I do, Mom?
I think Jin Woo has a girlfriend.
I bought a watch to ask him out with,
and stayed up hoping he'd call.
I talked to him just now and he's not at home.
He slept out.
But I heard a woman's voice,
and she sweetly told him to have breakfast.
So he said, "Talk to you soon, Se Na," and hung up in a hurry.
He must be seeing someone.
(Meant to be)
Do Hyun. You must do all sorts of things...
because you were born my son.
Oh, my dear Romeo.
If you love me, tell me so truthfully.
- Stop! - Aren't I a natural?
I can't live without you.
I never imagined you with anyone else.
You need to pick up, Jin Woo.
