Is that how your mother raised you?
If you're going to do this, just quit your job.
Stop getting in Min Gi's way.
Mom.
Oh, my. When did you...
Why did you come without even calling ahead?
This is just bad manners, don't you think?
Oh, gosh.
Mom, let's go to my room.
Come on.
That scared the wits out of me.
Why would she barge into my house at this hour?
(Episode 87)
Hey, what was that about?
What did you do wrong that you let her scold you like that?
It's normal for newlywed brides to be scolded...
by their mothers-in-law for not doing housework properly.
Why was she saying you should quit your job?
Oh, you heard that?
You won't quit, right?
Of course, I won't.
I worked very hard to join the company and get promoted.
Exactly. You shouldn't quit.
It's not like your life disappears once you become a mom.
Are you feeling all right?
Yes, of course. I feel great.
Anyway, what brings you here?
This is carp extract.
Your dad got this made for you.
It's good for pregnant women.
We never did anything...
to help you with your recovery after your accident.
Dad didn't have to do this.
Even if it was a minor accident, it still was an accident.
It must've given you a scare even if you don't realize it.
Don't ignore it. Eat well, rest well,
and take good care of yourself. All right?
Okay, I will.
Right. I saw your manager out front.
You know, the one who had dumplings at our shop.
That female manager.
Right.
Why was she here at this hour?
Oh, that's...
What is it? Is something going on at work?
Oh, no.
It's not that. Well...
Then what is it?
My goodness. Why are you curious about nothing important, Mom?
Anyway, why are you here? You didn't even call.
What? Am I not even allowed to visit my daughter?
It's not that.
I know you have a lot to do.
You have to work at the shop too.
You don't need to worry about me.
Unlike your brother, you never caused trouble,
so you never once worried me.
You got along with everyone and were always brave.
I may have worried about you falling over and hurting your knee,
but I never worried you might get your heart broken.
Yes. That's exactly how I am,
so don't worry about me.
I shouldn't add to your stress, Mom.
As your mom, I feel like I owe you an apology.
Come on. Dad kept saying stuff like that too.
Why are you being like this too?
I'm doing great,
so please don't worry.
Seriously, Mom.
Anyway, this is nice.
Oh, dear.
My gosh.
Why did Kang Myung Ja burst in here on her own?
Goodness, it's as if I'm a wicked mother-in-law.
Oh, my.
What? Do you have something to say?
You.
I'll leave Gong Hee...
in your favor.
Well, what...
I'm sure she's not good at keeping the house yet,
and you must think she's lacking in many ways.
Still, look kindly upon her...
and take care of her.
Mom, you should stay for dinner.
It's fine.
I should go and make dinner for No Ah.
Take a taxi home.
Why? I can just take the bus.
- Come on. - No, it's fine.
Bye.
Mom, take a taxi, okay?
My knee is no big deal.
If it's for my kids,
I'd be fine...
even if my knee wears away a hundred or a thousand times.
When I heard that Mom had knelt before my mother-in-law for me,
I thought I'd never be able to do such a thing,
and I couldn't even dream of understanding how she felt.
But...
Mom was right.
If only my child could live in comfort,
I would kneel 10 times or 100 times.
It was no big deal.
Go inside. It's cold.
Enjoy.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
What is going on? Am I the only one who didn't know?
You know, Sleepwalker cleaned out her shop...
and disappeared into thin air.
What?
Tiffany Alterations has a sign that it's up for lease.
Gosh, the shop is totally empty.
It looks like she ran off overnight.
Oh, my.
Goodness. Why is he in such a rush?
(Tiffany Alterations)
(For lease)
My son.
I will live in regret.
Please live...
a pure and happy life,
as if you've never been abandoned.
That's all I wish for.
I hope the love inside your heart always shines.
Your smile is the brightest gift in the world.
Did I ever ask...
for these birthday presents?
I just...
wanted a mom who would wish me a happy birthday.
Just like other kids,
I wanted to thank my mom for giving birth to me.
I just needed a mom...
who'd light birthday candles and blow them out with me.
Dan Soo, are you home?
Hey, have you had dinner?
I have.
Why? You should eat at home.
You keep going to work without eating breakfast too.
You need to eat well...
for your wounds to heal quickly.
I'm all better already.
You...
Do you know?
Pardon?
Audrey...
cleaned out her shop and left.
I mean your mom.
I guess you all know...
that she's my mom.
I do.
Actually, I've been looking around for her.
I'll keep looking tomorrow too.
How will you find her?
I should check some places she might visit.
Goodness.
You must be...
resenting your mom.
Yes.
It shouldn't be like this.
She can't abandon me twice.
I want to find her and end things on my own terms,
whether I resent her or not.
I'll find her.
What? Why would you do that?
Well...
I used to be a pretty good cop back in the day.
I'd be better at it than you.
You must be busy with work too.
Don't worry.
Focus on your work.
I'll look for her.
Hey, you're home.
Come here.
There's big news.
Audrey has disappeared into thin air.
What? Audrey?
Yes, I was passing by,
and it said her shop was up for lease.
Why, all of a sudden?
How would I know?
It looks like she ran off in the middle of the night.
Did something happen after her relationship...
with Dan Soo became known?
Still, Dan Soo is in this neighborhood.
She said she would never leave.
What do you think has gotten into her?
- My goodness. - What?
Oh, dear.
Why do you look so glum?
Did you have another fight with Ssang Sook?
I'm just so upset.
Why?
Their front door was open,
so I went in without ringing the doorbell,
but I heard a commotion, so I looked inside.
Ssang Sook was about to bite Gong Hee's head off.
What? She was yelling at her that loudly?
Are we still living in the Joseon Dynasty or something?
Seriously, that Jung Ssang Sook.
She's so behind the times.
These days, mothers-in-law are the ones...
who cater to their daughters-in-law.
My gosh.
So?
Did you pull out Ssang Sook's hair or something?
I wanted to, of course.
This won't do.
I should take out a loan to help Gong Hee move out.
I can't watch her living in the same house as Ssang Sook.
My goodness.
- We're home. - Hey, there.
- We're home. - What about dinner?
Of course, we haven't eaten.
Give me some food, Auntie.
What about No Ah?
He's been fed and washed.
He's playing in his room now.
Hey.
About that female manager at your office...
The female manager?
Do you mean Ms. Kang Ji Na?
That's right.
How do you know her, Mother?
Oh, that manager who came to eat dumplings at the shop?
Oh, my. Ms. Kang came to the shop?
That's right. But I saw that manager...
leaving Gong Hee's in-laws' house.
Why would she go there?
What? Why did Ms. Kang go there? That's strange.
Gong Hee wouldn't say why.
I was wondering if you knew about it.
Did something happen at work?
No, nothing happened.
Back when she came to the shop,
she creeped me out.
I got bad vibes from her.
My gosh. Don't get me started. Her personality is...
She has a bad temper.
Oh, she must be the manager you told me about.
Isn't her nickname Ice Witch?
That's right. My goodness.
But what was Ms. Kang doing at their house?
It's odd.
("The Life Before Us")
Momo.
This world...
is like this book.
It's complicated and difficult to understand.
There are times when you just feel so lost.
But even in such a world,
some people manage to find their way.
Some find love...
and live on.
Mommy will try to live like that too.
I feel like having you by my side will make that journey easier.
Momo, so...
take your time and get ready.
The world is waiting for you.
Oh, hey.
You're getting in late.
Yes. I'm working alone on the project now, you know.
I should work twice as hard.
Ms. Kang was here.
Yes, Mom told me just now.
I heard Mother was here too.
Yes.
About Ms. Kang,
don't get the wrong idea.
She came to drop off Mom's phone.
You know,
I told you that I'd trust you as Momo's dad.
I know you're a responsible person.
About you leaving the company...
Think about it.
The accident too.
If you hadn't had to go to work,
it wouldn't have happened.
Why are you bringing it up again?
I'm saying this for you and our baby.
No, that's only an excuse.
You should be rooting for me if you really care about me.
Is this because of Ms. Kang?
Do you really think I'm trying to get in your way?
I didn't want you to get the wrong idea,
so I told Ms. Kang to take her hands off my project.
I did it even though I really needed her for the project.
But what can you do for me?
I never told you to do that.
I just wanted you to keep your boundaries clear.
Well...
If you need her help, go ahead and work with her.
I'll do my best at my job too.
Are you saying you'll drag me down...
so that Dan Soo can be promoted?
Is that your way of saying that is your intention?
I was just saying I would do my best at my job.
That means the same thing!
Starting today, I, Eom Hong Dan,
will take No Ah to daycare and pick him up too!
What's up with you? What's gotten into you?
It's because of Soo Yeon.
Because of how Soo Yeon took him the other day.
This way, Mother doesn't have to run around every day,
and it'll also help me and No Ah bond even more.
No Ah, aren't you happy...
that I'll take you to daycare and pick you up from now on?
Your mommy here will do that.
My weird mommy is getting even weirder, Dad.
So, she's your weird mommy now?
Oh, boy.
No, I am not weird.
I bet he meant to call me his ideal mommy.
Right, No Ah?
From now on, your ideal mommy here...
will take care of everything.
You can count on me. I will take great care...
of you and Ssook Ssook!
Okay?
What's all this noise about?
Mother, I'll take No Ah to daycare and pick him up too.
You just do what you need to do.
Let No Ah's mom take care of him.
What about your work?
Work isn't important.
This is the most important thing in my life.
I will protect my No Ah. I got this.
It's not about protecting the country or something.
You don't need to be so serious about it.
What are you talking about? This is a wartime situation.
So, is that what Ms. Lee Soo Yeon is going to do?
Sure, fine.
I, Eom Hong Dan, can be spiteful too.
Oh, dear.
Goodness.
I'll just have you handle the rest, No Ah.
Forgive your incompetent dad here.
Oh, dear.
My gosh.
Oh, dear.
Anyway, where is Gyeong Tae? Is he not eating?
I don't know. He disappeared at dawn.
I thought he might be exercising on the rooftop, but he wasn't there.
Goodness. Is his fishing addiction back in full swing?
Oh, boy. Everyone has issues.
My goodness.
What would a five-year-old boy like?
A five-year-old boy?
I'm not sure.
What kinds of things does he like?
Don't tell me you don't know.
Storybooks?
He likes it when I read books to him.
He says I make it sound so realistic.
Come on. It'd be so boring to buy him a book.
You think so?
Gosh, you two. Shouldn't you prepare for the meeting?
How come you don't look busy at all?
Oh, right.
Director Lee.
What? What is it?
I need you to bring back your memories.
Okay. All right.
Now, you will go back in time.
Go all the way back in time.
Back to before you even joined Jayce Fashion.
Yes. Back to the time when you were an innocent child.
Back to your childhood.
Come on. What on earth are you doing now?
She wants to win some points with her son.
She wants to know what boys like.
- My gosh. - Boys?
Playing with spinning tops...
or pasteboards...
- Goodness. - Director Lee.
I guess you're older than I thought.
That's enough. Hurry up and get ready for the meeting.
Stop slacking off!
Goodness.
"Stop."
Anyway, why are you trying so hard to win points with him?
You said the ex-wife wasn't planning to take him.
Who knows? She might change her mind.
The important thing is that I feel very anxious...
because I don't really know what No Ah is thinking.
Has any man made me feel this confused in the past?
Oh, dear Lord.
Come on. You never dated anyone.
It's not like you ever had a man. What do you mean...
Oh, right.
Ms. Kang, did you visit Mr. Seo's home last night?
Yes. Why?
My mother-in-law said she ran into you.
She asked me about it,
so I was wondering why you were there.
I went to see my ex-boyfriend's mother.
What?
What an absurd joke.
Did it sound like a joke?
What was that?
Hey.
Mother said she ran into Ms. Kang in front of your house.
I mean, what was Ice Witch doing at your house?
It was nothing.
I think Mother is worried about it.
She had a gut feeling as a mother...
that something was wrong about it.
Tell me.
What was Ms. Kang doing there?
Goodness.
I asked Ice Witch about it,
and she told a joke that she was Mr. Seo's ex-girlfriend.
My gosh. I was so flustered when I heard it.
Oh, no.
Is it true?
It's all in the past. Why bother talking about it now?
Oh, my. I don't believe this.
- Spare me a moment. - What?
Come on. Let's go.
Hey.
Hold on. Is it really true?
What are you doing?
I told you not to cross the line.
I don't really know how far that "line" extends.
Maeng Gong Hee said she'd been very patient.
She doesn't know who's being really patient here.
Goodness.
Are you trying to steam the dumplings with your sighs?
You don't have to take No Ah to daycare anymore.
Shouldn't you feel relieved?
It's because your brother is nowhere to be seen again.
Gong Boo and Hong Dan said they'd book our health checkups.
It would be nice for him to drive down and bring Mom up.
Good grief.
When you mentioned throwing out his fishing poles,
you should've just snapped them all in half.
I should've.
He was quiet for a while, but he's at it again. Dear me.
By the way, I hear...
it's Dan Soo's birthday in a few days.
- Really? - Gong Hee asked me...
to make sure to cook him a birthday meal.
I should go grocery shopping for some seaweed and meat.
All right. Sleepwalker... No, I mean,
Dan Soo's mom is gone now.
We should be sure to look after him.
I have to go to Mom's house tomorrow too.
I'll go grocery shopping now and leave it at home.
- Watch the shop for me. - All right.
- Be back soon. - Okay.
Goodness.
So, before I came by,
this man kept asking about her whereabouts.
This business card...
I think your grandmother's people...
are looking for Audrey.
He's a nasty man.
He came to Audrey's shop before...
and turned the whole place upside down too.
He's an informant.
Oh, I shouldn't have said that.
Still, he's Gyeong Tae's in-law.
Audrey has been living in hiding and running away all her life.
She couldn't even have a wedding with your dad...
and had to live on the run.
I'm sure...
there is a reason why she had to leave...
as soon as you guys arrived in Kkotsan.
What other reason could there be...
for abandoning her own child?
You're mistaken about something.
You should meet Audrey and resolve this misunderstanding.
She's still your mother.
- Then, I'll be going now. - Sure.
- See you tomorrow. - Yes, thank you.
Goodness. First, I took a look around the factory...
and the neighborhood where she used to live and work.
After she left you, she worked...
at a bunch of clothing factories and dressmaker's shops.
I'm sure at least one of them...
will say that they've seen her.
Don't be so anxious.
Detective An is helping too.
Mr. Maeng.
You've gone looking for her in the past too, right?
You seem used to this.
You know all about how she used to live.
You know something more about her past, don't you?
Please tell me.
Why did you go around looking for Ms. Audrey?
You've been working with Detective An for a long time.
Why on earth did you have to do that?
Well...
Goodness. Let's talk about this later.
I heard that your mom left.
Are you trying to find her?
Yes.
Of course, you should.
Be sure to find her and bring her back.
Thank you for saying that.
It's your birthday this weekend.
Gong Hee told me to prepare a nice birthday meal for you.
Is there a type of seaweed soup you like in particular?
What should I add to the soup?
Anything is fine.
I like whatever you cook for me.
All right.
What did I hear earlier?
What... What do you mean?
I heard you went looking for Audrey.
Well, the thing is...
You know about Audrey's past,
and you've been looking for her for a long time.
That's what I heard.
(My Merry Marriage)
- No Ah. - No Ah.
Mommy is here.
What do we do about Gong Hee?
She seems to be so downhearted...
from dealing with people both at work and at home.
Don't do things others might disapprove of.
You're driving a wedge between my son and me.
Clear your schedule tomorrow. Let's go to my mom's house.
- I'm sorry. - What are you getting up to?
I wanted to ask you something.
This is a formal question, not a personal one.
