(Guidelines were strictly followed when filming with children.)
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.
Come on. Why would I have done such a thing?
Dan Soo asked me about it, but he was mistaken.
Don't let it bother you.
My goodness.
What... Wait, hey.
I thought Ms. Kang and Mr. Seo were mortal enemies,
but what's this?
How serious was their relationship?
That's not important.
Not important?
Don't tell me they even thought about getting married.
Oh, my gosh.
I can't believe it.
And I thought I was the only one stressed out about the ex-wife.
Please don't tell Mom.
She already has a lot going on.
It'll only worry her.
Goodness. It's eating me up inside.
(Sunny Daycare Center)
Hello.
No Ah, come here.
No Ah, come to Mommy.
No Ah, Mommy's here.
What?
Why are you here again?
And who are you?
Me?
No Ah's stepmom.
Maeng Gong Boo's current wife.
I see.
"I see?"
I'll take No Ah with me today.
While I'm staying in Korea,
I plan to spend as much time as possible with him.
Unbelievable.
Who gave you permission to spend time with No Ah?
He's coming with me.
You can leave.
Let's ask No Ah.
Let him decide who he wants to go with.
No Ah, come here. Come with Mommy.
No Ah. Let's go home, okay? Come home with Mommy.
What the... Stop calling yourself his mom.
No Ah, let's go home. Oh, right.
I'll read you a book, okay?
Wait!
Hold on.
No Ah. Ta-da.
I got you a 128-color crayon set.
Oh, my.
How petty.
Are you trying to lure him with a present?
Let's say I'm well-prepared.
No Ah, why don't we get fried chicken?
Fried chicken?
Killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
All she did was talk.
So technically, I've lost.
No Ah likes crayons?
Since when?
I had no idea.
Even though I'm his mom.
My gosh, No Ah.
When did you learn such a difficult phrase?
Because you take after me,
you're a fast learner.
Pretty Mommy and Weird Mommy.
I have two mommies.
"Weird Mommy?"
(Chief Secretary Seo Deok Soo)
This business card...
I think your grandmother's people...
are looking for Audrey.
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.
Grandma...
is looking for her?
(Chief Secretary Seo Deok Soo)
Grandma.
What on earth are you hiding from me?
Gosh, it smells amazing.
Everyone worked hard today.
You must be hungry.
"Gosh, it smells amazing. They look great."
You only ever talk. Help us prepare dinner from now on.
Okay.
I went to the daycare center today, and guess what.
Lee Soo Yeon was there again.
What? What is she thinking, seriously?
I made it very clear to her again.
Honestly, what is the matter with her?
I must say, Soo Yeon is really something too.
But I, Eom Hong Dan, am also seasoned in life.
I've been aging gracefully with life lessons.
I'll use all my experience...
and beat her.
Just wait and see.
Mom, about that manager. Ms. Kang or whatever.
The Ms. Kang I bumped into at Gong Hee's place?
What about her?
She and Seo Min Gi dated...
For goodness' sake! Seriously.
You really have a loose tongue.
I told you it was a secret.
How come? Mom should know about it.
What was that?
Are you saying that woman used to date Min Gi?
My goodness. That means...
Right, Ssang Sook used to brag about it nonstop...
at our school reunions.
So that manager's family owns Dodo Group?
Yes, she's the only daughter of the Dodo Group family.
But why is the only daughter of the Dodo Group family...
working at your company?
It seems she has a clear plan.
And the two families know each other well.
Didn't Ssang Sook brag about how...
the wedding would be held at a hotel...
and that the date was already set?
I guess the wedding fell through when Gong Hee got pregnant.
Good grief. No wonder Jung Ssang Sook...
is so hard on Gong Hee.
Mother, Gong Hee wanted to keep it from you...
as you'd worry.
What can we do? Gong Hee and Min Gi are married now.
Don't worry too much, okay?
Goodness. The stew...
- has simmered down too much. - Oh, no.
Good grief.
- My gosh. - Oh, dear.
- Hey, that mouth of yours! - Hey, it hurts.
- Seriously. - Auntie?
- Come here. Your mouth... - Hey!
Is your son getting married?
Yes.
He's marrying the only daughter of the Dodo Group family.
- What? - Dodo Group? Oh, my.
The company that owns Dodo Department Store?
Goodness, I'm so jealous.
My future daughter-in-law gave me a facelift voucher as a gift.
She said she wanted to help me get back my youth,
which I lost while taking care of my son.
Their daughter was following my son around so much.
What else could we do?
I had to let them get married.
If they were already talking about marriage back then,
they must've dated for a while.
Oh, my.
Hello.
Who...
Don't you remember me?
I work with Gong Hee. I'm her manager.
But what brings you here?
I just had some business here.
Then you should head inside.
Just quit your job.
Stop getting in Min Gi's way.
Mom.
When I called Mom...
while going through a rough patch,
she always knew right away that something was up...
no matter how hard I tried to sound cheerful.
Mom, what's up?
But...
now that my daughter is married and has moved out,
I, too, can tell right away...
the moment I hear her voice.
I know everything since I'm a mom too.
I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
Of course, I'm fine.
Have you eaten yet?
Oh, I was just about to eat.
Make sure you eat well, okay?
Okay, I will.
You need to eat well too, Mom.
All right.
Oh, boy.
Hey, why are you standing there like that?
You said you'd set the table.
What do we do about Gong Hee?
Why?
She seems to be so downhearted...
from dealing with people both at work and at home.
She's pregnant on top of that.
What should we do about Gong Hee?
Goodness. What exactly is the matter?
If Gong Hee's marriage fails...
What on earth... Why would you say such a thing?
If that happens,
it's all on us.
We're her parents,
yet we didn't even look carefully into the situation...
and forced her to marry him,
so it's all our fault.
I have to eat well for Momo.
- Hi, Gong Hee. - Father, you're home.
Yes. How come you're eating all alone?
Well... Did you have dinner, Father?
Yes, I've eaten. Where is Min Gi?
He's working late.
Mother is on a diet,
so she's skipping dinner.
Is that so?
Go ahead and eat, all right?
Okay, Father.
"The leaves that looked radiant in midsummer..."
"scream and fall in autumn."
"How is it any different from life?"
"How is it any different from love?"
"Life is short."
"And sadly, love is even shorter."
"No, love is fleeting."
Mr. Ryu's poems are heart-wrenchingly sad.
Goodness, seriously.
Hey, honey.
Hey.
Gong Hee is eating alone.
Why can't you join her and eat with her?
You're on a diet? How random.
Do you think that's the real reason?
When I eat with just her,
I can't digest anything.
Why can't you digest anything?
How can I eat with her when I can't stand the sight of her?
I think she's sweet and adorable.
Why can't you stand the sight of her?
She's your daughter-in-law who is carrying your grandkid in her belly.
That's what makes me so angry.
After Ji Na's visit, I can't help but compare her with Ji Na.
If Ji Na were my daughter-in-law,
I'd be so happy now.
I'd be smiling and laughing with her.
What's the point of holding that poetry book?
Stop reading poems about love.
Read some philosophy books!
Good grief.
What do you even know about poetry?
Poetry is the only hope I have in this tough life of mine!
What is the matter with you?
My goodness.
You see, I'm upset too.
I married a man who wasn't right for me,
and he completely destroyed my fantasies about marriage,
so I just waited for the day when I'd get a daughter-in-law,
dreaming of going shopping with my daughter-in-law...
and getting spa treatments with her.
I wanted to go to art galleries and the opera with her.
I wanted to live elegantly like that.
But what is this?
Seriously, life never goes...
the way you want it to go.
(New Message)
Mother, would you like to go to the opera with me tomorrow?
These tickets are very hard to get.
Oh, my.
It's as if she can read my mind.
My gosh. What should I do?
It's not a good idea to keep spending time with Ji Na.
Well, what's wrong with it?
If I just think of her as Min Gi's friend,
there's nothing wrong with it.
No, I shouldn't.
This is wrong.
Oh, boy.
I heard you asked for me.
I wanted to ask you something.
This is a formal question...
for Chairwoman Hwang's chief secretary,
not a personal one.
About my mom.
You're looking for her, aren't you?
Why are you looking for her?
It's because...
Chairwoman Hwang is concerned that she might show up again...
and negatively influence you.
Hello?
The chairwoman is waiting.
Please come with me.
Gosh, it's okay.
It's all right. I'll be right back.
I remember...
seeing you when I was little.
I thought I had forgotten everything,
but I remember now.
It was the day we moved to Kkotsan.
Before we even finished unpacking,
you showed up.
She stepped out with you.
And that night, she left me in the rain and ran off.
You see,
I simply follow Chairwoman Hwang's orders.
That day,
what did Grandma do to her?
What on earth did Grandma do that she left her young son...
in the rain and ran off in the middle of unpacking?
Did she really extort money from Grandma...
and run off with that money?
Do you know what really happened?
I...
I have nothing more to tell you.
Please excuse me.
This is something I can handle on my own.
I've sent you the revised proposal back.
Yes, please take a look and get back to me.
The people at Heirmez must be saying they won't proceed without me.
I'll try to convince them.
Your mother is very worried too,
knowing you have to walk on eggshells around Gong Hee.
You need to stay focused on your goal now.
Why would you tell my mom about what's going on at work?
Be careful from now on.
I'm going to the opera with Mother in the evening.
Why would you do that?
What do you mean, why?
She complained that she hadn't been able to go out...
to enjoy cultural events,
so I wanted to take her out.
Shouldn't you thank me?
Fine. You do that, then.
Gong Hee, Mom will be home late.
How about we visit Mother's shop for some dumplings in the evening?
Sure, let's do that.
Please take good care of my mother-in-law.
Buy her a nice meal.
Here.
We've brought you all the dumplings we had left.
Dig in.
I didn't know there were so many different types of dumplings.
Come on. Don't look down on dumplings, okay?
You can dump all sorts of fillings inside.
Hence the name, "dumpling."
Don't take her seriously. She's just joking around.
What? Shall I make all sorts of dumplings...
to prove myself? Wait here.
- Auntie! Stop. Hold back. - Gong Hee...
- Thank you for the meal. - No problem.
Work must be really busy.
You seem to have lost weight.
Well, yes.
I'm in charge of a project.
What...
I know work keeps you busy.
But please take good care of Gong Hee.
Right.
It's natural...
for a pregnant woman to get edgy over the smallest matters.
I see.
I'm guessing the visit to our house yesterday...
got you worried.
There's nothing to worry about.
How can I not worry?
The woman you almost got married to...
visits your home.
And I even witnessed your mother yelling at Gong Hee.
There was a reason she had to drop by.
And I'll have a talk with my mother.
I also heard your mother...
telling Gong Hee to quit her job.
Help Gong Hee so that she can continue to work.
You two work in the same company, so you must've seen her at work.
Then you must know how much she loves her job.
Think about it.
If I told you to quit your job because you're married now,
would you say yes and quit?
So why should she, just because she's a woman?
I'll keep that in mind.
I'm well aware of your mother's personality.
I also know how she'd treat Gong Hee.
Please take good care of Gong Hee, Min Gi.
Things that upset you during pregnancy...
stay with you forever.
Sit.
- My gosh. - Here.
We can't finish all this food.
Come on. You aren't the only one eating.
Momo needs to eat too.
My, they look so good.
- Dig in. - Okay.
Oh, my. I feel like it's been so long.
Yes, Ji Na.
The opera was incredible.
Thanks to you, I had such a great time.
Dinner was great too.
Okay. Thank you.
- We're back. - Hey, you guys.
Did you enjoy the opera?
I did.
As expected from Ji Na.
She knows so much about opera on top of everything else.
That girl has class.
Mom!
That's enough.
Hey, you scared me.
You shouldn't meet up with Ji Na even if she invites you.
Do you know how ashamed I was in front of Mother?
Why did you have Ji Na over...
and make Gong Hee hear those things?
My goodness. Did Myung Ja nag at you in person?
Don't meet Ji Na from now on.
Don't do things others might disapprove of.
Did you tell your mom again?
That Ji Na visits our house.
Well done. Way to go.
Are you satisfied now?
You're driving a wedge between my son and me, aren't you?
Hey.
Clear your schedule tomorrow.
Let's go to my mom's house.
I'm too worried to sit still and do nothing.
You see, tomorrow, I'm...
"How's Gyeong Tae?"
She asks about you all the time.
But you don't care about her once she leaves?
I never asked you to treat her like I treated your parents.
Pretend to be concerned about her, at least.
You're coming with me tomorrow.
We're taking my mom to the hospital.
Well, but...
What on earth is this?
I'm sorry.
I'll be there even if it's late.
Good grief.
What? Oh, no. What's wrong?
Did Gyeong Tae leave again?
After leaving this note?
My gosh. I told him we'd go and see my mom together.
How could he do this?
Oh, dear. They say all humans repeat the same mistakes.
As if not answering his phone and vanishing on the day...
of your mom's surgery wasn't enough.
Seriously, when will my brother grow up?
But he at least left a note this time, you know?
Forget it.
I'm going alone.
No...
Goodness.
Why do I keep getting the chills?
Why can't I shake off this bad feeling?
Maeng Gyeong Tae.
What are you getting up to?
Goodness, what do I do?
I can't understand the man I've lived...
half of my life with.
I didn't ask him to get me a star in the sky...
or the moon.
I simply wanted him...
to come along with me.
Do they say the one closest to you hurts you the most?
Or that your family is the one that breaks your heart the most?
But without realizing it, I was also...
breaking the hearts of my loved ones.
Mom.
Mom?
Mom.
Little did I know, my exhausting life...
was breaking my mom's heart...
and being a burden on her.
My shabby life made my mom go into hiding forever.
Mom.
Where are you, Mom?
(My Merry Marriage)
Myung Ja.
- Just once more. - Mom...
Would you please forgive your foolish mother?
Why buy one already?
It's like a lucky charm for Momo...
to stay healthy until the day we meet.
You said you were going to your brother's clinic.
Did you hear some bad news?
- Really? - Mom, I'll go on a blind date.
But it has to be tonight.
