(Episode 27)
Hello. How is she, Doctor?
There's nothing terribly wrong with her.
The ECG and blood test readings fall within the normal range.
Thank you.
- That's a relief. - Yes.
Then why did she suddenly collapse?
Did she suffer from a panic disorder...
or any psychiatric illnesses?
No.
Then we must wait until she wakes up to find out more.
If she seems okay,
you can take her home after the drip's done.
Okay. Thanks, Doctor.
- My gosh. No, Auntie? - Wait, Doctor.
Her father was sick for a long time before he died.
Could it have anything to do with her family history?
He was right.
What?
- What? - Who was right?
Oh. That guy, National Anthem.
He said Mom would be fine, that nothing would be wrong.
Why are you blushing, then?
- Do you... - What?
Is my face red? Why?
It can't be.
I need to go to the restroom.
Your face is really red.
Get a grip, Yoon Sol.
Even if Mom's okay,
this is a hospital and she's in the ER.
This must be why Great-aunt says kids are no good.
This is what the doctor will say.
"The tests show nothing's wrong."
"She can go home soon."
Will he?
So trust me.
Dry your tears.
Here.
How strange.
How did he know?
It's just a handkerchief.
He gave it to me to wipe my tears.
Se Na.
Did you go somewhere nice? You look nice.
- It shows? - Yes.
You look pleased.
I met someone I really wanted to.
- Did you? - I still don't believe it.
Why are you here at this hour?
Why didn't you take my calls?
I told you. I didn't know I'd left it at home.
I said I'd call when I got back.
Were you so pleased you didn't even notice...
- you'd forgotten your phone? - Yes.
I was so out of my mind.
I really wanted to pass the test.
A test?
I hoped Mr. Yoon Yi Chang would say this.
"Hey, this kid has the touch. He's good."
"I'd like to teach him."
My only thought was to make him say that.
Yoon Yi Chang the director?
He wrote "Road of Spring," the play I'm directing this time.
I met him.
I went to his theater,
stayed at his place, and ate breakfast with him.
I suddenly feel hungry.
I want a hamburger.
I didn't eat anything all day long.
Se Na.
Talk later. I'm so hungry I feel faint.
Bye.
This looks nice.
- How about this? - Yes.
I'm home.
He's back.
Hi, Jin Woo. We're in here.
Honey, we're all adults.
Let's not ask anything until he brings it up.
- Okay? - Of course. Okay.
I'm home.
- Hello. - I need a shower.
Hi, you're... back?
He's acting strange, isn't he?
I wouldn't stay "strange,"
but he said hi and left way too quickly.
No, he's strange. He was in a good mood this morning.
But right now, he looked thoughtful and confused.
Something must've happened.
It looks like it.
Something happened.
I can't wait. I must ask.
No, Ms. Chae. We agreed not to ask.
He's an adult. Let's hold back.
It seemed like a poker face, but he'd be embarrassed.
Why would he be embarrassed?
I bet he's embarrassed because he spent the night with a woman.
Why would an adult be embarrassed about that? Were you?
Of course, I was.
This is a great book. Quite educational.
Did Jin Woo ever let me down?
I starved out of worry for nothing.
It's so tasty.
Jin Woo had no cause or reason to consider me a woman.
Today will be a great opportunity to make him see me differently.
I feel happy.
I love Ha Jin Woo so much and carbs are awesome.
Do you have any health issues?
What?
My health? No, I'm perfectly well and able.
Then what was that about?
Pardon? What do you mean?
My wife told me what happened this morning.
- Oh, that was... - Stop working at my house.
What?
That would be best for everyone.
Sir. What do you mean by that?
I'm beginning to think a relationship that's no longer...
based on heartfelt respect has expired.
For a human being who has bestowed a favor,
the best they can and must do is to make up for it.
If you forget your debt, that makes you a beast.
Your actions were something I consider out of the ordinary or reason,
so I thought you were ill, but you say you're not.
Sir.
I must've lost my mind for a bit.
I don't like my husband or my daughter.
They think they're all so special.
The wine tastes bad too. It wasn't worth the price.
It's so annoying.
No one knows how I feel.
I feel so completely lonely.
Is it the spring weather?
I feel so lonely, I ache to the bone.
I'm lonely.
Compared to what you did to me and my family,
what Do Hyun did for Se Na was as small as a hamster's eyeball.
Even Do Hyun said he did what he should.
I was out of line.
My stupid mouth went and blabbered.
You served us well.
Tell your brother he can quit at the end of this month.
We'll find your replacements.
Gosh, Mr. Kang.
Please forgive me.
You can also move out at the end of the month.
No, Mr. Kang!
We lived like family for so many years.
Where could we go now?
My family has nowhere to go if we were to leave now.
We'll become homeless.
We can't leave! Please forgive me.
I'll serve you as best I can again.
Please forgive me this once, sir.
Forgive me, sir.
Mom.
Oh, gosh. Something flew into my eye. It stung all of a sudden.
Son. What are you doing here?
Are you here to see me?
- What is going on? - What?
Oh, well,
you took Se Na to a hospital last time,
and Mr. Kang offered to give me a bonus but I refused.
I said you didn't do it for the money,
and that you'd tell me off if I were to take it.
He has done so much for our family over the years.
If we were to accept a bonus for doing that much,
it would make beasts.
Like cows or pigs.
Even if you're a prosecutor,
you're nothing if you don't know gratitude.
You must be tired. Let's go home and to bed.
We must wake early...
Why do you sound so nasal?
Do I?
It must be my rhinitis.
Mom.
Shall we walk around the block?
Can you do that?
Let's go.
You start work tomorrow. Aren't you nervous?
Me, nervous? Did you ever see me get nervous?
Never.
That's right.
Now I have a prosecutor to do my bidding.
What would I fear?
To tomorrow that will be more thrilling than today.
Cheers.
- Honey. - Mom.
Sit down and have some of Dad's...
pine nut porridge made with love.
Oh, I forgot the watery kimchi.
I'll get it, Dad.
Sol.
The young man from yesterday. What's his name?
His name?
I didn't ask, now that I think about it.
You don't know his name?
What did you...
call each other?
I called him "National Anthem." He was going to call me "Moth."
Something about Tinker Bell being a type of moth?
Then we went with Juliet.
That's the role Dad gave me. From "Romeo and Juliet."
Did you exchange numbers?
We had no time for that.
We were both so startled and worried when we heard you'd fainted.
We rushed to the ER and then parted without thinking of exchanging numbers.
Then you won't cross paths again.
What?
You won't call him, will you?
No.
What for?
What reason would I have to call him?
I wouldn't see him again unless he were to visit Dad.
I'd like you to never...
see him again or call him.
What?
Okay. I wouldn't have to.
Here's your watery kimchi.
Enjoy your porridge, Mom.
What's the matter with her?
What's wrong?
They're not kids. We don't have to rein them in.
They're adults, not minors.
- Let them... - The young man...
lied to us.
Did he?
He was tenacious enough to sing the national anthem...
over and over to stay focused,
and though he was here for just one night,
he didn't seem to be that kind of guy.
What did he lie about?
I don't want to badmouth someone behind their back,
but let's just say I was offended.
I don't want to think about it.
I hope to never have to see him again.
I asked you nicely, okay?
It's nice and flavorful, darling.
It's good.
Let me sleep.
Call me when you get up.
(Missed calls: Jin Woo)
(Prosecutors' Office)
Mr. Kang.
Your first scholarship student became a prosecutor.
Will that be a shield that protects you or the opposite?
Wouldn't you like to find out?
Hello, I'll come and get you.
It's not a hassle at all. I must do that at least.
I'll have something to tell my father-in-law,
so it'll be a great opportunity.
I'll be there in about an hour. Take your time.
Bye.
Think carefully.
Of the people who've known you for years, who's left other than your family?
Well, yes. Your helper and I must be still around...
because we were meant to be your servants.
But how long do you think we'll treat you like a princess?
I think I'm done.
How long will your helper last?
Fine. You can all leave.
I won't stop you.
I can't be bothered to care. I don't.
So what if the cup and saucer are pretty?
So what if the coffee smells nice?
So what if the sun's nice? It'll only give me freckles.
- What's this? - These are...
your favorite plate and tray that you got from France.
You said eating from this cheers you up.
You remember all sorts of things.
We've known each other for so long.
Ma'am.
I was out of line yesterday morning.
You glared at me as if you wanted me dead.
Who, me? As if I'd do that.
I thought you'd refuse to see me again and leave.
Our relationship isn't the kind that can be severed that easily.
I thought you hated me.
Why would you say that? I like you so much.
Why do you like me?
You don't know why?
Tell me. Why do you like me?
Why do I like you?
There are so many reasons, I don't know which to start with.
I need to pick one of many.
What should I begin with?
There are so many. I can't pick.
Speak wisely, Hwa Soon. Show your respect.
Forget about it.
You can't name a thing. I'm torturing you.
You're pretty.
And?
And you're not too affectionate, but you're cool and considerate.
- And? - There are so many reasons.
Like...
And?
What's that word? You're sexy.
- And? - And...
your buttocks are nice and firm.
- And? - You have the neck of a doe.
- And? - You have bright eyes,
cherry-red lips, and so many other great features.
- And? - You have a small waist.
See, Young Eun? You're wrong.
Ms. Oh likes me.
Are you pleased that you upset me that day?
Mom, don't tell Chairman Ha or Ms. Chae.
He didn't tell them he joined the theater club as a freshman.
It'll look like he misses his birth mom.
Jin Woo is everything to Ms. Chae.
It's time for me to upset you now.
Young Eun, it's Mi Kang.
What's up?
Shall we meet? We have to talk.
Do you? I don't.
I do.
What about?
It's a lovely day. Why not meet at the kids' university?
At their university?
Yes. Let's enjoy the new season.
Wouldn't it be nice to look around the campus?
I don't think we're amicable enough to spend time doing something like that.
We've known each other for so long.
Don't be like this when it's so nice out.
I'm busy.
I have nothing to say but you do,
so talk now. I can hear you just fine.
Staying at home at our age causes depression.
Let's absorb some sun and energy from the youngsters.
It's all good to get some sun and energy but I'm busy.
Why would you be busy...
I'll wait until you show up.
Bye.
Wait, Jeon Mi Kang!
What's wrong with her? Is this payback?
You must be bored to death.
You're depressed because you have no one to talk to or play with.
Mercy and compassion.
Buddha, help me.
Walking the campus is for people with young joints.
I'd be too drained for a lecture.
This is exhausting.
Where the heck is she? Why won't she call?
(Chae Young Eun)
Yi Chang.
Where are you?
Mi Kang.
Will you marry me?
Can I help you?
Is there a Ha Jin Woo in the theater club?
In Business Management.
Yes, there is.
I heard he works so hard. Is that true?
Pardon?
You could say that, I guess?
He's directing this play.
Thanks a lot.
(Road of Spring)
"Road of Spring?"
Is it...
"Road of Spring"...
by Yoon Yi Chang?
Yes, but...
How did you know "Road of Spring" is Yoon Yi Chang's work?
That's amazing.
Jeon Mi Kang, you should pick up seeing that you asked to see me.
You said you'd tell me where to find you.
I'm outside the student union.
Go back home.
What?
I'm not in the mood to see you.
Are you out of...
I said we should talk on the phone and you insisted on seeing me.
Did you hang up on me? Hello?
Hello?
Jeon Mi Kang.
She hung up.
Am I being filmed for a prank?
Who in their right mind would do this?
She's really messing with me now.
I don't know where she is,
so I can't find her and pull out her hair.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after...
How should I make her pay?
My blood pressure's spiking.
I'm so annoyed.
This is infuriating. So infuriating!
"Go back home. I'm not in the mood to see you."
Was I in the mood to see her?
I came over out of mercy and compassion.
I thought she'd changed...
when she asked to see me first.
Jeon Mi Kang can do nothing but what Jeon Mi Kang does.
As if the evil witch would change.
Show yourself, Mi Kang.
Where are you? Come on out!
Show yourself!
(Road of Spring)
I miss you.
I miss you, Yi Chang.
I miss you.
I miss you so madly.
What should I do?
Honey.
What happened to you?
Why did you faint?
That day,
what did you see that shocked you?
(Meant to be)
The amazing power of love.
Se Na, you're already pretty. How much prettier will you get?
Prosecutor Moon, do you know something about Mujeong Construction's slush fund?
We'll do just fine as before.
No one can touch my family.
People like us should show our faces and become known.
I feel sorry for you, Ms. Yoon.
Mi Kang's out of her mind!
She's a psycho!
