(Episode 107)
Did you have a good day with your auntie today?
Me?
I was bursting with energy as I was thinking of you.
I'll make clothes...
for you, Gu Reum.
Clothes that are so comfortable, warm,
and soft that they make you happy when you wear them.
I'll make clothes like that.
Maeng Gong Hee.
Is Gu Reum sleeping?
Hey.
You said you were going home. Weren't you going to sleep there?
What are you talking about? This is my home.
Hey, why is this your home?
My home is where you are, Maeng Gong Hee.
Hey.
Don't be so nervous.
I always just follow my heart.
Whatever. You should go home.
I struggle to give Gu Reum...
the care he needs with you bugging me like this.
My gosh. You really can't be honest with yourself.
Accept it already, Gu Reum's mom.
You'll actually struggle if I'm gone.
No, I won't struggle at all.
Is that so?
Then how about you pretend I'm not here...
for a day?
I picked up some snacks for us.
We have to work into the wee hours today.
What?
We have a mountain of work to do.
You'll have to work with me, glued to my side.
What?
He's sleeping soundly...
so his mommy can work hard even at night.
Gu Reum wants to sleep next to Mommy,
but because of her boss who is making her work at home,
he's being bothered right now.
That's why I brought you some tteokbokki...
for making you work overtime.
All right. You should take over from here.
You want me to add to Holly's design?
Consider it an honor.
Yes, it is an honor.
But seriously,
how can you create such works of art with a few touches?
Then do it.
Do what?
My gosh.
Goodness.
I wanted to do as you wished, Mom.
I couldn't even grant you...
your one wish.
I'm sorry, Mom.
You're still wearing it.
I don't know about anything else,
but I'm going to...
brag about this ring even after I die.
Look, King of the Underworld.
My daughter gave me this ring.
Mom.
All I ever...
did for you...
was this one thing.
Throughout my life,
the person I've wanted to apologize to the most...
is you.
All children...
must be sinners...
before their parents.
What kept me so busy...
that I couldn't even go on a trip with you,
go to the theater with you,
or hold your hand like this...
to go and see the flowers with you?
I was so busy living my own life...
that I didn't even know...
you were wilting away.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
Mom.
(Myeongwol Nursing Home)
(Myeongwol General Hospital, Im S., Female, 87)
Now, there aren't any more veins left...
in Mom's body to insert a needle for an IV.
Her arms and legs...
and even the soles of her feet...
are covered in bruises now.
The doctor says...
she could live another month with life support...
Let's stop now.
Now, we can...
stop causing Mom...
any more pain.
Throughout life,
have you ever...
thought about things from Mom's perspective?
We've always been...
selfish children.
Things are the same now.
Have you ever considered how Mom might feel?
Have you ever considered...
whether barely being kept alive is what Mom would really want?
Why are you all so selfish?
Why are we all like that?
Now,
we should let Mom go.
Let's stop putting her through pain, okay?
We should let Mom...
rest in peace now.
Mom...
- Mom! - Mom...
Mom! Myung Ja, what are we supposed to do?
What? Grandma?
That's right.
I got a call from your mom.
Your aunt will watch Gu Reum and Re Ah.
You should hurry over to the hospital.
I just left the house too.
Oh, okay.
Oh, no. Grandma...
What's wrong?
My grandma is in critical condition.
I think I should go to the hospital now to see her.
Oh, when Director Lee gets here, tell him I'm taking the day off.
Don't worry. Just get going. I'll let him know.
If you need someone to watch Gu Reum,
bring him to my house...
My aunt will watch him.
Thank you for your concern.
Your grandmother was very kind to me.
I don't know if I'm allowed to say this,
but please tell her goodbye for me.
What are you doing, Gong Hee?
Your grandma is in critical condition.
Did you get the call too?
- Yes, let's go. - Okay.
Oh, dear.
Mother.
Mom.
Gyeong Tae and the kids are here.
You should say your goodbyes.
Grandma.
Thank you so much...
for being my grandma.
The person...
I respect the most in this world is you, Grandma.
In my next life, I'll be sure...
to be born as your grandson again.
Grandma.
After I got married, I received...
a grandmother's love for the first time in my life.
My parents aren't around,
and I don't even know my own grandma's face,
but you were...
exactly the kind of grandma...
that I only ever dreamed of.
Thank you so much for becoming my family.
Grandma.
In life,
there will come a time when you must make a decision.
When that time comes,
just think about...
what makes you happy.
That's how you won't have regrets.
You know,
I was able to find my courage thanks to what you told me.
From now on,
I'll always make decisions like that.
Please watch down on me from above.
Grandma.
I'll stay by Maeng Ggong...
and watch her...
to see if she's doing well or not,
just like you said.
So,
don't worry, and rest easy.
Mother.
All I did...
was worry you so much.
I'm sorry.
From now on,
I'll do better...
so that you won't worry.
I'm sorry.
Mom.
You wanted your ashes to be cast to the wind in your hometown.
I don't think...
I can keep that promise.
Please let me have a place where I can visit...
to see you.
I know you missed Dad all your life.
The spot right next to Dad...
will be your new home.
I will...
visit you often, Mom.
Please let me do that.
Mom.
The fact that you're my mom...
has always made me...
so thankful.
I am...
the luckiest person in the world because I have a mom like you.
Mom.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything you've done for me.
Mom!
Goodbye, Mom.
Wait for me. I'll see you there.
I'll age well just like you...
and come find you...
when it's not too late or early.
We'll meet again.
We must meet again.
Really?
Gong Hee ran out of the office after getting that call?
Oh, no. She must really be in critical condition.
My goodness.
She was such a wonderful person.
Despite her financial struggles,
she was always confident and inspiring.
I know. Even though I only got to meet her a few times,
I could tell she had such a warm heart.
(Kang Myung Ja's mother has passed away of old age.)
Oh, no. She really passed away.
An obituary notice has popped up in my school reunion group chat.
Hey, I saw the obituary notice.
It says Myung Ja's mother passed away.
Yes.
It just happened.
I want to attend her funeral.
Myung Ja's mother...
would probably be grateful if you came,
but knowing Myung Ja,
I think it's better if you don't go there.
What? I should at least express my condolences.
Well, if you want to express your condolences or whatever,
just say it to yourself at home, okay?
If you show up at the funeral and raise your voice,
it'll scar Myung Ja's heart for life.
Oh, boy.
One person has passed on,
and two babies came to us like this.
Just like how the sun and moon...
rise and set,
we all live through the flow of life too.
We, humans, are a part of nature too.
Fine, I won't go.
Unbelievable.
What did I do so wrong?
They don't want me at the funeral.
They're treating me like their sworn enemy.
Just send some condolence money.
Kang Myung Ja really is like my sworn enemy.
Why did we have to get tangled up like this?
Why won't she even let me come to the funeral?
My goodness.
(My Deepest Condolences)
Here.
Your grandma...
prepared these as her last gift to us.
When did Grandma...
prepare these?
Grandma.
Thank you for these.
She took care of us until right before she passed away.
I have so much respect for Grandma.
Mom, by the way,
it's your birthday today.
Is it my birthday today?
I didn't know.
Mom.
You can't even have seaweed soup on your birthday.
Mother.
You worked so hard to make seaweed soup for me and Gong Hee,
but you can't even have any. I feel so bad.
Seaweed soup isn't important now.
Birthdays are no big deal.
Hurry up and get changed...
so we can greet the guests.
- Okay. - Okay.
Myung Ja.
You must be devastated.
You're the first guest to arrive.
Even when my mom had her back surgery,
you visited the hospital every day.
My mom was very grateful to you.
Thank you.
You see, I really envied you.
Nothing beats having a loving, caring mom.
You're right.
I did wholeheartedly enjoy that.
Well, here.
Mom made this from scratch.
What is this?
I ground up some ginger...
and made hot tea.
Having to greet so many guests will tire you out.
Keep sipping the tea.
My mom loved ginger tea. How did you know?
Thank you.
This is the best gift.
Go on in.
Myung Ja.
Well...
There was a bit of confusion regarding the food for the guests.
Why? What happened?
The thing is, the spicy beef soup isn't ready yet.
They asked...
if we'd be okay with seaweed soup for breakfast.
It'll just be for the family,
so I told them it'd be fine.
All right.
Seaweed soup. That's good.
(Our Deepest Condolences)
I feel like Grandma made this seaweed soup...
because it's your birthday today, Mom.
I know.
Grandma cooked Mom's birthday meal...
as she was leaving.
Mom.
Thank you for this meal.
Let's eat.
Now that I look at Mom,
she was such a beauty.
Did you only realize that now?
My goodness.
I married into such a poor family...
that Mom felt bad for me.
My siblings and I...
started taking turns...
to talk about the things we did to cause Mom pain...
in her life.
My eldest brother talked about his failed business.
My second brother talked about his big injury.
My younger sisters spoke about poverty...
and a failed marriage.
Myung Ja.
You never caused Mom to worry all that much, right?
I...
Right then,
Mom's words rang inside my heart.
Do whatever you want.
I never lived how I wanted to.
I didn't do what I wanted.
Not even once.
Mom had to watch me live that way,
so I caused her so much pain.
Goodness.
You're here.
I'll take him.
- Hang on. - Gosh, you're a dad,
but you don't even know how to hold a baby. I'll take him.
Oh, my.
My gosh.
How come you only ever think about yourself?
You should've shown us the baby once before taking him home.
Newborns have weak immune systems to begin with,
and we have to take extra care with Gu Reum.
Look at how you talk back every time.
So, you're not a part of this family anymore. Is that it?
Well, I brought Gu Reum's formula and diapers.
I've marked the amount of formula he needs,
- and if he doesn't eat... - Hey, forget about all that.
Do you think I haven't raised a baby before?
You're making such a fuss.
Oh, my. Look how tall his nose is.
Hey, he looks just like you.
Seo Gu Reum.
I'm your grandma.
I was so afraid of becoming a grandma,
but it turned out to be a joy.
Please bring him back early.
If you don't keep your promise,
I really won't bring him here next time.
Hey, are you worried we might steal the baby?
We'll take care of things, so you can go.
By the way,
how is your mom doing?
Oh, she's managing.
If you want to send word, you can tell me now.
Well...
No, it's fine. You can go about your business.
Oh, my. How handsome you are. My goodness.
Don't worry about Gu Reum. Go and get some rest.
I've studied up on what to do.
Okay. I'll leave him in your care.
All right. You can lie down here.
There you go.
Goodness.
Look.
He looks just like you when you were little.
Gu Reum...
Isn't it fascinating?
A newborn with all his tiny features.
Do you want to touch him?
Gu Reum is...
sleeping well.
Newborns usually sleep a lot.
He must know that this is his dad's house. Right?
What?
Dan Soo didn't show up to his blind date?
What do you mean?
His date called after waiting for him.
It seems that Dan Soo...
didn't go to the date at all.
I told him over and over that he should go.
Then where is Dan Soo now?
Who said you could come to work on a weekend?
What... Hey, Gu Dan Soo.
How did you know I was here?
I told you.
I won't leave your side.
(My Merry Marriage)
I'll be sure to win this contest.
I'm sure you'll do a great job.
Don't you know the position you're in?
Will Ji Na have to watch his baby when she gets married?
You have to come and get him.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
No Ah is in front of the pond in the park.
Did you wait for me outside because you missed me?
- My gosh. - Are you...
trying to take over my place as a dad now too?
I just came to take my rightful place.
