(Episode 122)
Goodness me.
You shouldn't have made so much! It would've been a hassle!
- Welcome. - Hi.
Madam did all the work. I only helped set up the table.
- Sit down over here. - Okay. Here.
Hey, fried chicken is here too.
Oh, Father, Mother, you guys are here.
- Hello. - Hello.
Have you been well?
- How have you been? - Good.
We were good.
Young Sook... I mean, where is your mother?
Oh, hold on.
- Sit down. - All right.
Since Bok Hee's family isn't here, it feels so empty.
What's all this?
Gosh.
Excuse me!
What is it?
What's all this? It'd be crawling with bugs!
Don't leave it like this and clean it up!
No one is coming to see me, so I'd be glad if bugs come.
Seriously.
Bugs won't just go to your house. It'd come to my house too!
Stop yelling at me.
I'm getting a headache.
Geez.
Oh, my goodness!
Did he give up on life for good?
- Mother, do you like it? - Yes.
That guy over there is Choong that I told you about.
Oh, right.
Look at you.
Why would you whisper things when you have guests over?
- What is it? - It's nothing.
I'm done.
- Right. - Thank you for the food.
- I enjoyed it too. - Right.
Okay then. You guys should go upstairs and play.
If you're done, should I get some tea out?
Yes.
Mom, aren't you tired?
Would you like to rest in your room?
No, I'm not tired.
When are you going to tell her?
You should make it quick.
For goodness' sake.
- Should I tell her for you? - No.
Thank you for the tea, Eun Lim.
Why would you thank me when I didn't make it?
I'm really happy that you came to my house, Choong.
Right. Thank you for inviting me.
You should address him properly or just call him Mr. Ko.
Why would you call him by his name?
She's my friend Eun Lim,
and he's Eun Lim's husband.
And she's...
Oh, she's my mother.
Really?
Yes.
Didn't you know?
Honey, I think she's out of it.
What do you mean by honey?
Choong, did you get married?
What?
Look at her talking.
The two of them are married.
Is that true?
Yes.
Eun Lim's mother and Choong got married?
No.
- That's not it. - You nasty wench.
I told you all my secrets.
How dare you get your mother to marry Choong?
Pardon?
- Mom. - Oh, my gosh.
I had no idea you were this bad.
When you were going out with Kim Chang Han,
I lied for you that you're sleeping over at my house...
when you went to visit him.
Whenever something like that happened,
you used me as an excuse!
Oh, my. What in the world?
Goodness me.
And now you meet that guy and marry him?
Hey, I kept everything from your husband.
How could you let your mother marry Choong?
Did you introduce him to her?
Mom, stand up. You should go to your room and rest.
I'm really disappointed in you!
When you broke up with Chang Han and cried your heart out,
who comforted you?
Geez, why are you trying to take me inside?
Off you go.
For goodness' sake! Don't push!
Kim Chang Han?
Oh, dear. Would you like another cup of tea?
Oh, it's full.
My gosh.
Mom was so confused about it.
I know.
She goes back to the time when she was young from time to time.
Still, she looks happy when she's in those times.
Sometimes, she's like a 12-year-old.
How could you speak so sweetly?
I'm always sweet.
Come here.
What's the matter with you? It's broad daylight!
I just tucked my mom in!
Kids are here too!
Dear me!
Get off!
Are you hurt?
Are you all right?
Oh, dear.
I'm sorry.
Don't be mad.
Are you going to be mad at me?
- Come on. Don't be mad. - Seriously.
Stop it! Don't!
Mom.
Mom...
Let's go.
No, we didn't do anything!
Gosh, you're such a rascal.
Geez, I couldn't even do anything.
I only got told off!
What is it? Do you have something to tell me?
Well,
it's nothing.
- I'll just pop out for a second. - Me too.
Where are you going?
Just around the neighborhood.
Let's go.
- Don't be too late. - Okay.
- Dad. - Yes?
My babies!
How did you get here?
- You must've missed me. - Yes.
How are you going over there?
Do they treat you nicely?
Yes.
I want to visit sometimes too.
Dad, you should stop saying ridiculous things now.
Why is that ridiculous?
Hey, couples in Hollywood visit each other...
after they're divorced like friends.
Since it's a developed country here, it's about time that we do.
Dad.
I have a favor to ask.
A favor?
What is it?
Then let's go to the site together.
We keep talking about work even during the holiday...
as we live near each other.
Ms. Kim, are you a workaholic?
He's right. Don't work too much.
Should we go for a drink?
Geez, you always want to drink.
You've become a drunkard after you got divorced.
Oh, then I know a perfect partner for that.
You should drink with Mr. Ki over there.
How dare you?
You guys are flocking together too much.
It feels weird to see you guys in the neighborhood.
Pardon?
Why would you go to the site together tomorrow?
What's going on between you two? You're not going out, are you?
What?
Why would you care?
I'm petrol this neighborhood to crack down on promiscuity.
You two...
should watch out.
I had a good conversation with your homeroom teacher.
You cleaned the room.
What did she say?
You know I'm a smooth talker.
She couldn't say anything because I told her the exact reason...
why he had to do that.
Really?
So do you think it went well?
Well, I think so.
Why did you cheat?
Don't ever do that again!
All right.
Don't tell Mom.
Of course! We'll keep this between us.
Gosh. You cleaned this place.
Then shall we go for dinner?
No. We're going to go home.
Hey! How proud and happy would I feel...
as you guys came here...
and asked me to solve something as a father?
While you're feeling happy, don't live under garbage...
and find a job to do.
But nothing dangerous. Okay?
The thing is...
I do want to live well,
but it's not that easy for me.
Let's go.
Hey.
I'm lonely.
I feel lonely, and it's a difficult time.
Do you have a clue how that feels?
Why wouldn't we know?
When you kicked us out to live with another woman,
we all felt lonely and had a difficult time.
It will pass by.
We all live alone anyway,
so don't say that and clean when you're lonely. Understand?
Let's go.
Goodbye.
How can she be so mean?
I'm so heartbroken.
What is this?
As you did a bone marrow test for Mom,
I don't hate you anymore.
I've decided...
to understand you as someone who is just different than ordinary people.
Still, I'm not at the stage of missing you.
So please live well from now on so that I can miss you.
Cheer up.
That girl.
She's good at talking...
and good at cleaning.
It's nice that it's clean.
Right. Let's cheer up.
Let's start over!
I think you can use the leftover japchae...
to make rice with japchae for lunch.
We'll just make spicy soup to go with it.
- Okay. - Please make it good.
Where did they go? They're not even answering my calls.
The kids?
Yes.
Why are you wandering around...
like a puppy who has done something wrong?
Are you bored?
Well, I got married, but my wife is too busy.
Can I help you?
Eun Su?
Pardon?
Oh. Hello, Teacher.
Cha Ban did?
Is that so?
Yes, he probably is.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
Okay.
Why? What's the matter?
Right.
Hello, Bok Hee.
Cha Ban.
Did you go meet our kids' homeroom teacher?
The kids came to me.
I guess they think of me when they're troubled.
As Si Kyung is a bachelor, he's never raised a child before.
If this happens again in the future, tell them to come to me.
He said Eun Su's dad doesn't have common sense...
and he was ridiculously dignified even though his kid cheated.
He was worried about his education and asked if you were his real dad!
He heard that I got remarried...
and assumed Eun Su brought a neighbor in secret.
I'm so embarrassed!
Don't interfere in their lives again. Do you understand?
They came to me. What could I have done?
Then you guys should've treated them better!
What did the two of you do to make them come to me?
I guess I'm a more reliable parent!
Shut it!
Why are you like this when I helped?
Those kids, seriously.
- We're back. - We're back.
Eun Su. I need to talk with you for a second.
Why did you do that?
Why did you cheat?
And if you did something like that, you should've talked to me.
Why did you go tell him?
My teacher said I could bring either my mom or dad.
You live with me, yet you go and tell your dad?
Can't I?
It's okay now as he solved it.
What did he solve? Why did you cheat?
You know better. But you didn't stop him...
and ran to your dad together?
Who is the person raising you now?
It's Mr. Jang and me.
Then if that happened, don't you have to tell us first?
Don't you think so?
That's enough. Talk to them later.
Let's talk later.
I'm really upset with you guys.
See? I told you it didn't sound like a good idea.
Wow. As you're stylish,
the prisoner uniform suits you!
Why did you come here?
When I was in there,
I was very glad to see a visitor even though they're my enemy.
I built up a relationship with you up to now,
so I should come say hello for loyalty.
Did a loyal person spill that I ordered you to do everything?
But that's the truth!
What did I do voluntarily?
Be quiet.
If you're trying to annoy me, just leave.
Director Yu!
That is...
Do you have any hidden cash...
or any property that needs management?
I'm going to cheer up now and live well for my kids.
Before you come out, I'll be in charge...
- and take care of... - Would I leave it to you...
if I had that?
What about Sang Ah?
Is she doing all right?
I don't know.
But I did hear...
that she won't see visitors and is keeping a low profile.
He wrote so many petitions.
Now he's cursing me?
He writes these letters cursing me.
Don't you think he's still in love with me?
Right. You're a perfect match for each other.
How did you meet your own kind?
You're like the best couple.
She said Cha Ban and I are the best couple!
Goodness me.
Sang Ah. Do you think so too?
Ms. Ko. You have a letter.
I'm really upset with them.
How could they do that?
Exactly. How do they not know you at all?
I did so much for them.
You were great to them!
There's no other mom like you.
That's right.
But those kids...
Gosh. All children are useless.
Goodness me.
My wife is so sad. What should I do?
But all kids seem to grow up like that.
They make you worried and upset you.
We just have to loosen up,
and they'll do nice things once in a while.
It's hard to say as you didn't raise them.
But I was a son, wasn't I?
So let's give up on it...
and make sure we're happy as it's a shame what they did.
Do you want the lights off?
Yes.
I'll hop over to the study to do something.
What are you doing?
Can I come in for a bit?
Did I do anything to make you sad, Eun Su?
Do you want to talk while lying down?
How about it? Let's lie down.
There. Go ahead.
You're not my real dad.
Right.
I have your mom all to myself even though I'm not your real dad.
That must've made you sad, right?
I just didn't think of that before.
Eun Su, this kid.
I thought being on good terms with your mom...
would be good for you.
But now that I think of it,
you could've felt left out.
But you know what?
I lived with a stepdad too.
We didn't live together for a long time though...
as I stayed in the dorm mostly.
So when we met once in a while,
it was hard to be around him, and I felt distant.
I wouldn't have felt that way if he were my real dad.
Of course, you'd like your real dad more.
Right?
But...
if you don't hate me,
how about giving me a chance once in a while too?
But you are smart, Mr. Jang.
What's that?
You must've been a smart son to your stepdad.
You're awesome and intelligent.
So...
maybe you'll hate it.
Hate what?
Me.
I'm okay with my dad as he is lacking.
But to you...
I want to be a smart son...
and make you proud.
But I don't do well in school,
and if Mom finds out that I caused trouble,
she will be embarrassed,
and you'd be disappointed.
And if you argue about it,
she might break up again.
I'd love it if you were my real dad.
But you're not.
My parents got divorced even though he was my real dad.
But you have two of us to take care of.
I know Mom really loves you.
So that's what you've been thinking.
Eun Su.
It might be awkward...
to call us father and son yet.
But we're a family just as anyone.
Whether you're smart or not,
we're already a family.
But families can break up.
As for that,
it's like asking why bother to live when we die someday anyway.
Don't you think?
We just live doing our best while we're alive.
So you don't need to worry about it.
We should do our best as a family while we are.
I did try to stop from showing a lame side of me.
But let's not do that anymore.
Let's be open to each other.
I'll show you how lame I could be.
Do you have that side of you?
Sure.
I'll show you one at a time.
In fact, I cheated on a test once.
You did?
You should keep this a secret from your mom, okay?
I would love to have been your dad from the beginning.
But it's thanks to your mom that we met later on in life.
Right?
Yes.
How thankful are we, right?
You should be nicer to Mom.
Oh, boy.
Do you want to go see baseball next weekend?
Yes.
Sang Ah, I couldn't see you as you didn't accept any visits.
That is why I write you this letter.
It seems like you did so many things.
But actually,
it feels like a distant memory now,
so it's hard to remember what they were.
But I'm sure you loathed me...
as much as I hated you.
I appreciate that you helped me get the surgery.
I really wanted to tell you that.
Why didn't you go to bed yet?
Are you still crying?
Director.
You always call me that.
Honey.
I'll be so good to you.
I'll do better to Mother and to you too.
You're doing more than enough already.
How could you do it even better?
Still,
I'll try to be...
a little bit better.
Oh, gosh.
You must've had it rough today.
You're bursting into tears.
You did a great job.
You must've been upset because of my mom and the kids.
Then what is it?
You're crying when we just got married.
Then it must be my fault.
Right.
I couldn't be more grateful and happier...
that I am alive like this.
So I don't hate you anymore.
I don't know what the world would say.
But if you feel sorry for me in any way,
I think you can...
take it easy.
