(Guidelines were strictly followed when filming with children.)
I'm home.
What?
Hey.
(Episode 94)
Why did you come home alone?
I thought you and Min Gi were eating out.
He went back to the office.
The office? Why?
I'm not sure.
He said Chairwoman Hwang called him.
If he said so, it must be true.
Why did you say you weren't sure?
Seriously, I'm telling you.
Min Gi does all the work in that company.
She gave her immature grandson the executive director title...
and is making my son do all the work.
My dear son will fall ill at this rate.
Goodness. I should do something.
I should get something healthy and nutritious for Min Gi.
Why are you all quiet?
Are you hurt that...
I'm only worried about my son when you're pregnant?
Hey, you said your mom got you carp extract or whatever.
I'm not hurt.
Seeing how worried you are about your son...
takes a load off my chest.
Get something nice and healthy for Min Gi, Mother.
My goodness.
"Mother, don't worry. I'll get him something."
Shouldn't she say this?
My gosh. My skin feels so tight.
My skin is dehydrated.
Antiaging.
I should use the face mask Ji Na gave me.
Oh, boy.
Come in and have a seat.
What do you want?
Keeping me in the palm of your hand?
I told you I'd only wait for 30 minutes.
Why are you late?
- What? - Seo Min Gi.
I want you.
I want nothing else.
You still have me wrapped around your little finger.
I feel pathetic that I'm letting you do this.
It proves that you're still in love with me.
We can't help it.
You shouldn't feel guilty.
We can't control our feelings.
Am I wrong?
- The village - The village
- I miss the time - I miss the time
- When I lived in that village - When I lived in that village
Where are you?
Why aren't you even calling me?
Where are you, Mom?
Please tell me.
"My old hometown, the village of flowers."
"I miss the time when I lived in that village."
"Spring in My Hometown."
Mom's hometown.
Hometown.
Oh, dear. Hey, Myung Ja.
At the care home I visited today, they said...
someone around Mother's age came alone...
and asked about the fees and all.
Well...
I'll widen the search area and keep looking for her,
so don't worry too much.
Hey, why are you still up?
Were you with Chairwoman Hwang until now?
Yes.
I should wash up.
Here.
Did you have wine?
Yes.
The chairwoman offered it to me.
The chairwoman offered you wine?
Ms. Kang, isn't this a limited edition item this season?
How did you buy this?
I heard none of the boutiques in Korea got these.
I got it through my mom.
Apparently, she thought of me while she was in France.
You see, I really like this color.
Gosh, I'm so jealous.
It's so pretty. It fits you perfectly.
- Do you think so? - It's really pretty.
Oh, my.
My gosh.
Last night,
I watched the video of when I took Mom to karaoke.
My mom's only favorite song...
is "Spring in My Hometown."
I realized that my mom was missing her hometown that day too.
I should've listened to her talk about her hometown that day.
What? Wasn't Kkotsan her hometown?
No.
I heard it was called Myeongwol.
She started living in Kkotsan...
once she got married.
When my mom talked about her hometown,
her eyes would glisten with tears.
She missed the place where she used to run and play with her sister.
That's how things were back then.
You couldn't go home...
just because you wanted to.
It was over once your daughter left home to get married.
Goodness, they used to say...
married daughters were no longer family.
Oh, right.
Mom's hometown.
What?
I should go there.
Myeongwol.
Oh, my.
I never thought to go all the way to her hometown.
She wouldn't have gone somewhere she had no connection to.
So, do you mean you'll go there this instant?
Oh, I should go after the large group order.
Gosh, do you think I'm saying this because of customers?
I mean, you shouldn't overwork yourself.
Can't you leave it to Gyeong Tae?
Myung Ja.
My goodness.
My gosh.
How is it...
that he has gotten more gaunt since getting married?
Other people say...
their sons' faces simply glow in their newlywed phase,
as if they're wearing a sign that says, "I'm happy."
I think he looks a lot better after his wedding.
What are you going on about?
It's because I've been busy lately.
I'll take care of myself, so don't worry too much.
Even yesterday, you went out to have dinner,
but the chairwoman called you back into the office.
What's wrong with that chairwoman of yours?
Is your dad not enough?
She even orders you to come and go?
Why did she call you back in when you'd left for the day?
What are you talking about?
The chairwoman was at home last night.
She wasn't feeling well,
so I took her home early.
Well, I...
It wasn't Chairwoman Hwang.
I met with my contact at Heirmez.
It ran late because we were talking with their headquarters in France.
Gong Hee said the chairwoman had called you in.
So that's what I thought.
Were you mistaken?
How could you confuse such a thing?
That could happen.
Don't mind her, okay?
You're right.
It's hard to confuse such things.
I must've misheard.
- Here. - Thanks.
Last night,
the chairwoman did call me.
So, I rushed to the office but she wasn't there.
So, you rushed over to your contact at Heirmez?
That's what happened.
They're being so nitpicky.
You can stop now.
Let's not talk about something that will only tire us out.
Oh, my. You must not have gone with my brother today.
We decided to split up and search different areas today.
I see. I'll bring you some dumplings.
- You should have a seat... - That's not it.
So...
I have something to tell you, Myung Ja.
Me?
Could you take a look at this?
(Namyangju Nursing Home, Golden Senior Care Center)
(Spring Nursing Home, Oasis Care Home)
What is this?
These are the places where Gyeong Tae went...
to track your mother down these past few days.
Oh, my.
Gyeong Tae went to all of these places?
Yes.
Oh, my goodness.
He went to so many places that Gyeonggi Province is covered in red.
I guess his detective skills are still intact.
(Yeongwon Adult Daycare)
Gyeong Tae is really worried about you, Myung Ja.
He wants to find your mother as soon as possible...
to help take the burden off your shoulders.
He has been skipping meals to run around all day.
I was hoping you'd understand how Gyeong Tae feels the least bit.
That's why I wanted to tell you this.
From my perspective,
I feel so bad for him.
(Namyangju Nursing Home, Golden Senior Care Center)
Then, I'll be on my way.
Hang on.
You should have some dumplings before you go.
Once I find Myung Ja's mother,
I'll have ten servings then.
Gosh, ten servings is no big deal once we find Myung Ja's mother.
I could even give you 100 or 1,000 servings.
But 100 or 1,000 servings...
Then I could eat dumplings for life.
For life?
Well, I guess I could serve you dumplings for life.
You promised me.
Then, I'll be back, Myung Ja.
This is yours now, Mom.
What?
I bought this place.
Now, you don't have to pay rent.
You can do what you like, for as long as you want.
But I haven't done anything for you.
I'm going to get everything you owe me from now on.
You should be on your toes.
I'm going to act like a little kid.
Okay.
You can act like a kid now since you never got to do that.
You can get annoyed with me...
and get sulky too.
Then,
will you nag me like other moms...
and scold me too?
Actually, I deserve a good nagging about something.
What?
I skipped work today and played hooky.
What?
Gosh, you can't do that.
I mean, you're an executive director!
My mom's nagging...
sounds really nice.
Hey, don't worry about me.
Go to work now before it's too late, okay?
Can't I just stay?
Come on. Get going already, son.
Okay, I'll be back. See you in the evening.
All right.
(Pharmacy, Mir Home Produce)
Go on.
I've always wanted to do these things too,
my dear son.
Thank you for finding me.
Thanks so much.
Why are you staring at me like that?
I want to ask you something.
I have to step out for a meeting.
We'll talk when I'm back.
Hey, Ms. Eom's resignation letter...
must be in her drawer. Open the drawer.
What's the matter, Director Lee?
She used up her vacation days for her honeymoon.
Yesterday, she asked to use her vacation days...
for next year up front, and I kindly let her.
Look.
Look at this.
Director Lee, whom I admire and love.
It's cold these days.
You're in good health, right?
I'm texting you because...
my son has a really bad cold,
so I unfortunately have to stay home today.
I know everyone picks on me at work,
but I'm a mom at home.
Please understand my situation just once more,
and I'll call you my savior for the rest of my life.
Director Lee.
Help me.
Oh, I guess Ms. Eom's son is very sick.
When she's here tomorrow,
you can ask her to explain what happened.
No, forget it!
Does she think this place is a playground?
How could she ask for time off every single day?
She said she had been writing resignation letters every day.
I heard she had a collection of them in her drawer.
I'll take them to the HR department myself...
and let her go.
So, go ahead and open her desk drawer.
Now!
- Please... - What? Open it!
- Come on, Director Lee! - What?
- Hey. - Please...
- Hey, what are you doing? - Let it slide just this once.
- My goodness! - Oh, no.
Darn it!
You're so adorable.
Do you like the porridge Mom made for you?
Wait, this is porridge?
Not cereal?
It is porridge.
But there are crunchy bits, like cereal.
They're hard.
My goodness. You're just like your dad.
You always have to be so blunt. Goodness me.
Oh, boy. Director Lee must be fuming mad again.
He'll chew me out again.
What am I supposed to do?
I'm the only one who can look after No Ah now.
Weird Mommy.
You'll get chewed out because of me?
What?
No. No way.
I won't let anyone chew me out for no reason.
You saw me that day, No Ah.
Thanks to your help, I fought courageously like this...
and won.
That's right.
So, don't worry.
To me, nothing's more important than you, No Ah.
I was torn between my career and love...
back in my 20s.
Oh, boy. When did Eom Hong Dan become a woman in her 40s,
who has to juggle work and motherhood? My goodness.
Mom, I'm happy we can play together at home.
What?
No Ah, do you know what it means to be happy?
What does being happy mean?
It gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling in the heart.
My gosh! You're such a sweetheart.
Yes, you're my love too.
Your mom, Eom Hong Dan, will take care of those she loves...
and do a good job at work too, you know?
I'll pull off everything, no matter what.
No matter what.
Let's go!
I don't have any appointments in the afternoon, do I?
No, do you want to go home early today?
No Ah is sick. My wife is looking after him alone at home.
Without the appointment with the patient who's due soon,
I would've just stayed home too.
Anyway, let's call it a day.
- Okay, sure. - Thank you for everything.
(Maeng OB-GYN Clinic)
Goodness.
What's up? Why are you calling me again?
It's about No Ah, obviously.
You must've heard about yesterday.
I treated him.
His fever broke,
but he should be careful for the next few days.
Observe him closely. If his symptoms come back,
bring him back to the clinic.
Okay, whatever.
I heard you loud and clear, Doctor.
But even if he's sick as a dog,
I won't take him to the clinic where you work, so hang up now.
Where's that woman?
Is she with No Ah now?
And why are you curious about that?
I'm asking just in case.
She went on about how she is No Ah's mom now,
so she'd better not leave him alone and go to work.
If you keep this up, karma will get you.
I don't really care what you think,
but Hong Dan is No Ah's mom now.
You're just the selfish woman...
who abandoned No Ah and moved to the US alone.
Don't call me again.
(Han Internal Medicine Clinic)
Hang in there.
I need a little more time.
Let's shut down the Holly project now.
What do you mean?
You want to shut it down when it's going so well?
You have achieved enough by selling Holly's name.
Drop the project and call it quits.
Min Gi's collaboration with Heirmez...
will be the main project of our next season.
Thank you for putting your trust in me.
But Mr. Gu and Gong Hee...
have been working on the Holly project.
What will happen to them, then?
Well, nothing will happen.
They should help you.
Why?
Is there someone specific you want to work with?
I'll give you who you want, Min Gi.
I'll think about it and let you know, ma'am.
All right. You can go.
Treating me like this...
Don't you think it's childish?
I know what you're doing.
You're trying to punish me for rebelling against you.
So, you know everything, yet you still have something to say?
When you defended your mom in front of me,
you should've known I'd do this.
I do know everything now.
Everything you told me about Mom.
It was all a lie.
I know Mom would never abandon me for money.
Keeping your mom close won't do you any good.
That woman got Hae Joon killed.
That's a fact.
So?
Are you trying to single me out at work?
By blatantly taking Min Gi's side?
I think I understand why Dad kept running away from you.
I get it now.
What?
He was sick of putting up...
with your overbearing approach to everything.
Go ahead and do what you want, Grandma.
I'll figure things out on my own...
and find my own way.
(Executive Director's Office)
Hey.
Did the meeting go well?
What did Chairwoman Hwang say?
Our project is getting good feedback,
so she must be pleased.
But Mr. Gu and Gong Hee...
have been working on the Holly project.
What will happen to them, then?
Hey, what's wrong?
Did something happen?
Why do you...
work so hard?
What?
I'm suddenly curious.
Now that you've achieved your goal of getting a permanent position,
you can take it easy for a while,
but you always work so hard.
Isn't it stressful?
It is, of course.
But I...
truly enjoy my job as a designer.
We make clothes for other people, you know.
I design clothes...
while hoping they'd make people happy...
when they wear them.
The process makes me feel useful,
and I feel like it helps me become a better person.
So, I'm happy.
So happy that I can forget all the stress.
Hey.
You're acting so weird today.
Why would you suddenly ask me such a question?
Did you get into an argument with the chairwoman or something?
About what?
Everything is smooth sailing.
So, please keep working hard, Designer Maeng.
What? You made me nervous for no reason.
That thing you cherish so much.
I'll be sure to keep it safe.
I will change Grandma's mind, no matter what it takes.
Don't you worry, Maeng Gong Hee.
We don't have a patient named Im Sun Yi.
You said she was your mother, right?
She disappeared without a word?
You must be so worried.
I'm sure you'll find her.
Thank you.
When I die,
I want to become a cloud.
I could go here and there...
without a care in the world.
I could see my daughters, sons, and grandkids.
I'll be there quietly...
so the kids won't have to worry about me.
Just like that, so I'm not a burden to them.
I want to wander around freely.
(We're waiting for seniors to join us.)
She'll get a call once I die anyway.
Why does she keep looking for me?
I left after buying my own burial gown.
Why are you looking for me, Myung Ja?
I will take my ill body with me until the end.
This is my wish, Myung Ja.
Please don't cry.
If you cry,
your mom's heart aches as if it's being torn to shreds.
(My Merry Marriage)
Oh, goodness. Myung Ja.
Please find my mom.
All right.
It will never end if I only have suspicions.
- I must... - I need to ask you something.
What could it be? I'm dying to know.
I guess Seo Min Gi has done something wrong.
What is it?
What did he do wrong...
that you're here with a gloomy face?
