(Episode 125)
Hyun Hee, why did you drink so much?
After celebrating Si Kyung becoming a CEO,
we went for another drink with the singles.
What did you say?
You guys left me out?
You're also single, I guess.
You should go upstairs then.
- Get out of the way. - What?
- Gosh, walk properly. - We should have another drink.
- What's wrong with her? - Good thing we bumped into you.
Please take her.
Why would you ask me to take her?
She's too drunk. I beg you.
Hey, Ji Ae!
Seriously.
I got it, so you should go upstairs.
Wait.
What?
Cha Ban, it's been a long time.
Geez, get a grip, will you?
Do you want to be locked up again?
Go home already.
Of course, I'll go home.
Not that place. Your home!
Hey! Geez!
Do you have a long way to go?
Let me write a bit more.
If I don't finish this, Ms. Bae will tell me off again.
"How dare you? You're no writer to me!"
Isn't she too harsh on you?
It's done. I've finished!
Now, let's go to bed! Hurry.
Let's sleep.
Goodness me.
Do I have to put you to sleep when you're a CEO?
Of course, you're my sleeping pill and medicine.
It's your first day tomorrow as the CEO.
Aren't you nervous?
I do kind of feel nervous.
Give me a word of advice as the former CEO.
First of all, don't stick your nose in everything.
Observe what the employees are good at.
Then make them do it.
Like how you tell us three to clean the house on the weekends?
Right.
Look closely then tell them to do what they're best at...
and take a step back.
If it's a karaoke, you're their chorus.
So you'll be supporting the person with the microphone.
So that's how you do it.
As expected, I feel so reassured to have a senior beside me.
You should cheer up next to Ms. Bae tomorrow and survive too.
Okay.
Ms. Bae, I finished cleaning up. I cleaned the toilet bowl too.
It fell through?
Yes.
The reviewed script isn't good.
They won't be able to produce this.
You told me to listen to her and follow her lead then it'd work.
I didn't expect her to change the tone this much.
Being too obedient was a problem too.
The raw and lively spirit of your writing disappeared.
If I knew this would happen,
I should've gotten a good scriptwriter under you.
Did it really fall through?
Completely?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
But...
did Ms. Bae go somewhere?
She went to see a doctor because her finger joint hurt.
Then you should tell her yourself.
Director, when did you come?
You're here. See you then.
What?
Aren't you here to talk about how it's going?
You should hear about it from Ms. Park.
What the...
What is it about?
Our work...
has fallen through.
What?
I knew it!
You're not good enough to be a writer!
Why did he involve me with a rookie?
You wrote a piece of crap as your work!
You! Don't you ever think about writing again!
Not everyone can be a writer, you know!
Oh, gosh.
I agree.
Why won't you write if not anyone can write?
What?
You're not even writing,
but why would your finger, shoulders, and arms hurt?
You're one to talk when you didn't even write!
Don't you feel ashamed to see me? I'm just a rookie!
How will you write a drama when you look down on people?
That's why all your lines are nagging and so up yourself.
What did you say?
How dare you?
It looks like you're doing this to me...
as you don't get treated this well elsewhere.
You said I must learn it this way in this industry,
but this industry isn't that great!
Hey, honey.
How was your first day as the CEO?
Hold on. Let me go outside and talk.
There is someone here in the room.
Yes, one second.
That ignorant fool!
Wait. Her honey is the CEO?
Don't be ridiculous.
Did I sleep in here?
I told you to go home, and you came in here.
Nothing happened, so eat this and leave.
Thank you.
Hey, why did you come here and sleep?
Honestly, if you've been in a cell, you don't like closed space.
Right. I hate that.
I want to leave that door open when I sleep.
I know.
But the room I'm living in feels like it's locked up.
So I think I came here as it feels frustrating.
At least, this place feels open.
As long as we don't scam each other,
we relate to each other and stuff.
You're right.
It feels comfortable to be...
with an ex-convict than regular people too.
This is good.
Hey, I'm here.
Hey.
How do you feel today? Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
What about you? Are you all right?
Why are you asking? Of course, I'm fine.
Still, you shouldn't run about when you're pregnant.
You should hang loose.
What?
But Eun Lim.
Actually, your daughter was switched.
What?
But I think something...
has gone wrong with your real daughter.
I went over to that house,
and they said they didn't even hear a baby cry.
I'm sorry.
Still, I didn't do it on purpose.
It really was a mistake at first.
But I can't stop thinking about it these days.
She was underweight...
and she couldn't even breathe properly.
I'm sure...
my daughter didn't die.
Really?
So...
just relax.
Thank you.
I'll look around the house for a bit and go.
Excuse me. Should I take this in?
Yes.
(From Ko Sang Ah, to Ko Bok Hee)
Park Bok Hee.
I mean, Ko Bok Hee.
You might be wondering how miserable I am,
but I'm doing fine.
I'm studying because I want to open a clothing store when I'm released.
By then, would the world have changed...
and have no stores?
Time seems to have stopped here.
There are things that are rather comfortable...
in this stagnant time and space.
How is everyone doing?
Is Mom...
doing all right?
Nowadays, everyone lives a long life and hold on to it,
so the silver generation is the trend.
As they need elderly models and actors,
people over their 70s and 80s debut as a model and actor.
Then which part doesn't have an elderly rookie?
It's the singers.
So I'm going to train a rookie singer.
A singer?
That's a different story.
The acting part needs the role of the elderly.
The modeling part is to see an elderly fit.
But we don't have to listen to old people's songs.
You, get out!
Mrs. Shim. I think it'll work.
Right?
Grandma Ye Ja sings well.
If she debuts and succeeds,
it would be nice for her to do a duet with Na Hoon A.
Hey. Then I'll get you an autograph.
I don't think it'll work. I think you're going to screw up.
Just do it. This is really going to be a hit.
You can't succeed as a minor acting academy.
You should produce one.
Right. I need to discuss with the entertainment agency representative.
- I'll be back! - How does this look?
- Take it off! - Why?
What are you doing?
You're back.
Is something wrong?
Why? Did Ms. Bae trouble you again?
No.
It fell through.
They can't continue with it.
It's okay!
It's not like your life was struck down.
But I'm still very upset.
Am I not talented in this field?
The fact that the agency noticed you...
means that you have a bit of talent.
Then am I just unlucky?
Don't think like that.
If you really want to do it, just keep trying.
No matter how unlucky you are, the chances of not being lucky...
will decrease if you keep trying.
Then you will succeed at least once.
Really?
Did a mathematician say that?
A famous company CEO did.
They say bad luck can't overcome stupidity.
Did that CEO say that too?
He did.
That CEO said a lot of good things.
He must be super clever.
Of course.
That's why he has an excellent eye for women.
Let's go in.
Is that all you're worried about?
What?
There seems to be more.
Why? Is there something wrong at Byunbang-dong?
The thing is...
I think they feel lonely as they live alone...
after we brought the kids here when we got married.
It would be nice if I visited often, but I just can't.
The thought bothers me.
Then shall we live with your parents too?
What?
We live with my mom too,
so what's wrong with living with your parents?
Then it would be nice...
as she takes care of the kids when I'm not there.
Wouldn't it be uncomfortable?
We have to care for Mother too.
Wouldn't it be helpful if Mrs. Jo spends time with my mom...
when we go to work?
Though they quarrel whenever they meet,
my mom looks the most lively then.
Then you can set your mind at ease and do something.
I think that'll be good.
Then shall I ask my mom first?
If she doesn't disagree, let's go talk with them together.
Thank you.
- You were up. - Yes.
I want to tell you something.
What is it?
What do you think of living...
with Bok Hee's parents here?
Together in this house?
Yes. They can use the study.
Whose idea is this?
It wasn't someone's idea.
Seeing Mrs. Jo come here and being a companion to talk to,
we thought you wouldn't be bored, and it would be a good idea.
When both me and my wife are busy,
we can't take care of you properly.
If she takes care of the housework and the kids,
I think Bok Hee will feel more comfortable.
That reason would be bigger.
Geez, Mom.
Will you be uncomfortable?
Rather than being uncomfortable,
it seems that there is...
something that needs to be finished with your wife.
Something that needs to be finished?
I'm thinking of going back to America soon.
America?
Did Father ask you to come back?
Yes. Do you think you're the only one with a husband?
I also have a husband who wants to see me quickly.
I heard he's not in good health either.
So I looked for a nursing home where both of us...
can go together.
Is it because you think that we'll have a hard time?
- We're back! - We're back!
Right. Go upstairs.
No, wait.
Come here.
You are Eun Su and you are Eun Ha, right?
You were scared and felt awkward towards me, weren't you?
Here.
This is an allowance from your grandma!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
No problem. You can go upstairs.
This is enough.
Pardon?
If I lived with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren,
haven't I done everything others have done?
Mother.
Seeing you, I want to have a good time...
with my husband just like you before it's too late.
Realizing what other wives do to their husbands...
made me think that he must've been very lonely.
You've been busy working outside.
And also, this...
I wrote my part,
so just fill in the fields for your parents.
Assignment in real estate?
For Myeongmun-ro...
Wait. This house?
I want to return it to you.
Mother.
If I lived here by taking it away,
wouldn't it be nice to give it back to the owner when I leave?
Tell them for me.
If I repay your family for my wrongdoing like this,
it will make me feel lighter.
That's all I have to say.
Why don't you get some rest as you'd be tired too?
Mom, I'm home.
You're here.
I heard you're going back to the States.
Did I do something to make you feel bad?
What are you talking about?
It's not that.
I want to go back and be at ease.
That's what your stepdad wants too.
But why would you decide so suddenly?
It might be bad for you to change your environment so soon.
It won't be because of the surroundings...
if my condition gets worse.
Is it because of...
my asking you about living together with her parents in Byunbang-dong?
I told you that's not it.
I want to be loved by my husband like my daughter-in-law...
and live amicably.
I've been thinking about and looking into it from the beginning.
If so,
why don't you spend more time with us before you go...
and make good memories?
I don't know why you're doing this...
Well, I think I have an idea...
since you're being considerate of us.
If you leave like this,
I would feel uncomfortable.
Si Kyung.
I couldn't be any help to you and only gave you a hard time.
I could wish for nothing more to see you live so happily.
Mom.
I hope you'll have a good life...
with Bok Hee and the kids as you have so far.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I knew you were lonely.
I should've been nicer to you.
But I left you alone only thinking about me.
Don't say that.
I got more things from you than what I did for you.
I left you all alone to run my business, but you grew up well...
to become a great adult.
Do you know how thankful and proud of you I am?
You're not young anymore.
People would think you're a little boy.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry...
about everything.
As your mom,
I never treated you warmly.
I always felt guilty, and it broke my heart.
But now you have a warm family that I never provided for you.
Do you know how thankful I am to Bok Hee...
for being sweet and taking good care of you?
You two must've hated me at times.
But doesn't it make me a cool mother-in-law...
to leave at a moment like now?
Let me play a cool role too.
I'm thankful for and sorry about everything.
You went through a lot when it's still your honeymoon.
You didn't have a chance to be together by yourselves.
Not at all.
We are always together.
We're already living like that.
This is more than enough.
I don't need anything more.
We need to have regrets...
so that we miss each other when I leave.
That way, you can sometimes visit us with the kids.
Won't you?
I'll go visit you.
Next time I see you...
even if I don't...
remember you guys...
I'll remember you,
so don't worry, Mom.
I can't believe I'm back in this house again.
Goodness. I feel so grateful.
She said she was happy to return the house to its owner.
She told you in person...
that she was so glad and pleased before she left.
Did your mother get there safely?
Yes.
Her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, in-laws...
And what was it?
Not just her in-laws but her new in-law...
as well as her daughter and her best friend all saw her out.
She loved it saying she's never had such a grand farewell.
Who would've known she'd be such a cool mother-in-law?
I should've been nice to her earlier.
You were nice to her.
Let's go see her next time.
It's a fine nursing hospital.
It's a famous one that was in a film.
Is that so?
Oh, well.
The reason I contacted you again...
is that no matter how much I think about it,
I want to work on your piece.
What are you trying to say?
You said I couldn't do it alone as I'm a rookie,
but it didn't work with the main writer either.
You said neither works.
Why don't you be the main writer, Ms. Park?
I'll get you a terrific assistant writer.
A terrific assistant?
Yes, she's been an assistant for 15 years. She's a professional.
There's a person like that?
Oh, there she comes.
Nice to meet you.
Yes. Nice to meet you.
Take a seat.
You can write however you feel like,
and this assistant writer and I will tell you what works or not.
We'll discuss it and revise it as we go.
Oh, however I feel like?
