(Episode 37)
Why did you come to see me?
Let me give you my business card first.
(CEO Jeon Se Bang)
I'm Jeon Se Bang of Sebang Industry.
Here's mine.
(Jo Geum Sik)
You're the head of the sales department, Mr Jo Geum Man.
It's Jo Geum Sik. It's written right there.
There's no reason for us to meet, but I was really frustrated.
I thought it was necessary to speak to you, so I made some time.
- Go ahead. - You already got a divorce.
Why do you keep bothering Jae Soon?
- What are you talking about? - As you probably know,
she has a tender heart, so she can't reject others.
Even before she married me,
she'd always date whoever it was that asked her out.
You don't seem like such a cheap person.
You shouldn't take advantage of her weakness, Mr Jo Geum Man.
It's not Jo Geum Man. It's Jo Geum Sik.
Oh, dear.
My weakness is...
that I can't remember others' names well.
What did we just talk about?
Jae Soon's weakness is that she dates anyone.
And you don't remember others' names well.
That's what you said.
If you've already filed the divorce papers, there's no need to see her.
If you're not capable of bringing happiness to a woman,
you should man up and stop seeing her.
Besides, I'm saying this so you won't misunderstand.
I've never given up on my child.
I signed the papers against my will because of my father-in-law.
Sop seeing Jae Soon as of now.
I'll leave knowing that you won't see her.
Wait.
Whether or not Jae Soon dates others freely,
that's none of your business.
You heard how you're dimwitted many times, right?
Your weakness is that you're dimwitted, Mr Jo Geum Sik.
My wife doesn't like you.
She got remarried because she was badly off.
I know that her parents reluctantly approved of your marriage.
Am I not right, Mr Jo Geum Man?
Take a close look at my business card.
It's Jo Geum Sik.
Whatever your name is,
if you still haven't figured that out,
your daily life would be difficult.
My in-laws are keeping an eye on you.
I'm telling you straightforwardly because you're dimwitted.
Do not break another person's family, Mr Jo Geum Man.
You are aware...
that Jae Soon's first love is me, right?
She lived with you...
against her will because of money.
But then she got divorced because she couldn't get over me.
Gab Dol. Gab Dol, come out now!
What a stupid woman. Why are you knocking my door?
- Gab Dol! - Gab Dol already left.
Just take the stuff I left outside.
- Open the door! - There's no need.
It wouldn't be pleasant to see each other's faces,
so just take the stuff I left outside.
Nobody in my family eats that kind of stuff.
Gosh, give it to me.
Did you go somewhere?
Korean beef and a box of fruit.
It doesn't seem like you bought them. Did you get them for free?
I'd like to go get some for free, too.
There's no use of having a son.
He only gave me a set of red long johns with his paycheque,
but he got Gab Soon's family Korean beef...
and a box of fruit.
I can't live because I'm so mad.
They provided nothing for him. Why buy such precious stuff?
They didn't pay his tuition or feed him at dawn.
I struggled so much to look after him.
I did all the work, yet they got all the credit.
What?
What I'm saying is that my effort went nowhere.
I wanted to throw them away in a trash bin,
but I brought them since Gab Dol worked very hard to earn the money.
I cried on my way here.
Just hearing it makes me sad.
Gab Dol, why did you do that?
Ms Nam is crying because you got those for Gab Soon only.
Why are they here?
Ms Nam carried them home on her head.
What a brat! I worked so hard to raise you,
yet all you do is spend your money on her family.
Why did you bring them home?
- What? - I can buy them for you any time.
Do you think I won't buy those for you?
How could he be so out of his mind?
This is all because of Gab Soon.
Gab Dol is actually a bit out of his mind...
See? Even a kid I delivered myself acts like that.
If you don't want to get stabbed on your back, get yourself together.
Soo Jo isn't like him.
How do you know? Have you experienced that?
You may be given the cold shoulder once he finds his biological parent.
Why are you drinking mine?
I had no idea.
What if we grow fond of each other?
There are two scariest attachments in this world.
One of them is love beginning from drinking alcohol together and...
Let's give up on getting married. Let's just live together.
What are you talking about?
Like I just said, let's just live together.
You want to live together?
We're not doing that. We should honourably get married.
I only lived with you before because I thought you were pregnant.
That's not the case any more.
I'm never going to do that again.
Let's just do that. We have no choice.
Let's just live together for now. When we get our parents' approval,
we can get married then.
What would people say?
It doesn't make any sense to not have a wedding when I have a job.
Why does that matter?
I got over all that stuff after I started cleaning.
I don't care about what others think.
What matters is the quality of life.
Others' opinions and vanity doesn't mean anything to me any more.
They're of no help to my life.
(Family law)
All right. Let's pretend that we live together.
What would you do if we break up without getting married?
Too bad, then.
Since it was my decision, I won't regret it.
It's not a simple matter of whether you regret or not.
That's why parents are against the idea of living together.
Se Gye once told me...
that a man shouldn't make the woman he loves pathetic.
I don't want to make a woman I've seen for the past decade pathetic.
I don't want to make you become unfortunate, either.
Some people get divorced even after getting married.
We can break up if we fall apart even after living together.
Just because we live together doesn't mean we have to get married.
Are you afraid that I may become pathetic?
Once you become pathetic, my life would become a failure.
Speaking of which,
- let's make rules. - Rules?
We've been through this. It was tough living together.
I know. I promised myself to never live together with anyone.
I studied law, you know.
Let's make solid rules about our legal rights and obligations...
so that our relationship will remain safe just as if we got married.
It would be like PACS of France.
The only thing we won't have is a marriage certificate.
In order for us to have rights, obligations and responsibilities,
let's write a memorandum and have it notarised.
That would work. What should I do?
First, let's have our assets become a shared one.
We don't even have that much money.
Even one dollar would be shared.
All right. Let's take care of everything by dividing them in two.
Including getting our home and our living expenses.
In case we break up, we'll divide our assets like married couples.
That's right. The one who did wrong should pay alimony.
Of course.
If one of us is unfaithful or violates the faith between us...
For example, like having an affair?
I'll be fine, but I'm worried about you.
Love is fun and exciting when you're a bit anxious.
The cohabiter who's at fault cannot cancel the contract first.
Just like how a spouse who's at fault cannot suggest a divorce.
You've studied thoroughly.
I wonder why you failed despite all the effort.
Why does the conversation have to go there?
Gab Soon, let me add one more thing.
If our relationship ever ends because of me,
I'll give you more asset and alimony.
Let's record it as one of the clauses.
Why is that? Shouldn't it be equal?
Do you know why a daughter's parents are against cohabitation?
It's more or less the same for marriage,
but cohabitation is especially disadvantageous for women.
Although the world has changed and people talk about gender equality,
there are things we can't help.
Having a baby is one example.
As I'm the man, I must acknowledge this more to make it fair.
In a way, we're writing this memorandum for you.
In order for this to have legal power, let's get it notarised.
(Cohabitation Agreement)
(Heo Gab Dol)
Take a look.
What is this?
We decided to live together, as we couldn't get your approval.
My goodness.
What a brat.
It's not just a simple cohabitation.
We'd be just like a married couple without a marriage certificate.
Including a clause on our asset and alimony,
we wrote a memorandum and got it notarised.
We'll be responsible for each other and live like a married couple.
What is she talking about?
She's saying she'll live like a married couple without a ceremony.
- You crazy brat! - Mum!
I'm not crazy.
In exchange, we'll have a small ceremony with our friends.
Once you approve of us later on,
we'll get married and register ourselves as a married couple.
What about kids? Will you have children, too?
We're both working now, so we're not planning to have one yet.
However, if I become pregnant, I'm planning on having that baby.
What are you doing, Joong Nyeon? Will you keep listening only?
What on earth are you thinking...
Did you think it through?
Yes, we've already made up our minds.
It's up to you guys whether you approve of us or not.
- Water! - Hey, give him some water.
- Water. - All right.
Do you think this makes any sense?
It doesn't make any sense that you'll live with a girl...
while I'm alive like this.
There's nothing you can do since I'm not asking for your approval.
Just keep that in mind.
Get out. Get out now!
Get out. Get out of my sight right now!
(Nam Gi Ja)
My goodness.
Joong Nyeon, you're really unlucky with your kids.
Gosh, you've raised your daughters poorly.
- Gosh, you're really doing this? - Really?
- Congratulations. - I can't believe it.
It's basically the same as being a married couple.
You guys are amazing.
Gab Dol is yielding a lot in this contract.
Good for you, Gab Soon.
You'll lose nothing even if you guys break up.
It's still more disadvantageous for women.
Gab Soon proposed this.
Gab Soon, you're the best indeed.
Girls should be like her.
She always wants the guy to propose first.
Didn't you learn anything from this?
Will you two be okay? I'm anxious.
What will you do with your parents?
Don't worry. We'll go through it no matter what.
You should all come that day.
Of course, I will.
Dal Tong, look up a place to hold a pledge ceremony.
Hello, Dal Tong.
We could rent a restaurant.
Two hours would be enough.
We'll have a simple meal after the pledge ceremony.
Yes.
Wearing a wedding dress would be too much.
I'll just wear a simple white dress.
I must look pretty since I'm the bride.
My parents won't be there. Only my friends will come.
Mum.
My gosh.
She's not even trying to listen to her parents.
She won't even listen to a single word.
Do something.
I told her the other day, but she didn't even listen.
- What did she say? - They're going to live together.
She says this time will be different from the last time. Whatever.
I wonder what she means by that. Living together is cohabitation.
She even wrote a memorandum and got it notarised.
How could she do such a thing...
when her parents are alive and well?
Give her a good scolding.
She's totally ignoring us because we're old and weak.
Jae Soon.
Why isn't Gab Dol coming?
You don't need to call him. I made this decision myself.
I'm disappointed in you.
I had no idea that you'd go overboard like this.
Were you always like this?
Please understand. We're doing this because we have no choice.
Are you pregnant by any chance?
- Is that it? - I'd rather be pregnant.
That way, they'll have no other choice but to approve of us.
This isn't what educated people do.
Will you never see Mum and Dad again?
Will you remove yourself from the family register?
You've already tried it once. Why live with him again?
You must get Mum and Dad's approval no matter what and get married.
You said you regret the time you'd lived with him.
You said living with him was totally different from your expectations.
Why are you doing this again?
It was just living together back then.
This time, we're becoming a married couple without a wedding ceremony.
We'll be responsible for each other while doing all our duties.
If we violate, we promised to pay alimony to another.
That means nothing if the world doesn't acknowledge you guys.
You're just beautifying the idea of cohabitation as a marriage.
That's not it.
Do you know why a wedding ceremony is important?
I know it's just a ceremony.
But that's what makes us human beings.
That's what makes others see us as human beings as well.
Going against the formality is like breaking the world's rules.
Speak in plain language.
I know what you mean.
I do, but there are exceptions.
I don't think you can see this as an exception.
You're just being stubborn.
Gab Dol's mum will never change her mind.
If we don't do this, we'll have to break up.
Gab Dol will eventually marry another woman.
I don't want to lose him.
You should think about Mum and Dad.
How will they face their relatives, friends and neighbours?
You should consider that.
I do feel bad about that.
You're giving us excuses, but you sound like a coward.
It just looks like you're running away.
You should try to convince her.
What about you? Were you able to convince Mum and Dad?
You broke up with Man Joo because you couldn't convince them.
Gab Soon.
There're things you just can't help.
Mother.
What are you doing?
Why are you here bustling around?
I came in a hurry because I heard you were sick.
I came since there's no one who can take care of you.
I didn't make this porridge.
I bought this from a good restaurant.
I'll hang out the laundry before I go.
Hey!
What are you doing? Are you trying to upset me?
Did you eat the porridge? It's very delicious.
I also made some barley tea.
I'll be going now, Mother. Goodbye.
That little...
Your daughter-in-law is quite a woman.
She's not my daughter-in-law!
If she marries Gab Dol, she will be.
Don't sweat it, Ma'am. It'll only be hard on you.
Maybe you should just relax and surrender...
What did you say? Surrender?
My gosh.
My goodness.
What are you doing, Joong Nyeon? Something smells good.
It's not for you. Make it on your own.
Wake up. You should eat.
I don't have an appetite.
You should eat anyway.
You'll need energy to give Gab Soon a good scolding.
You poured sesame oil into it again, didn't you?
I did it for you. It's still delicious.
I didn't use much because I was trying to save it.
I told you. Doo Shim and An Shim...
I know.
Doo Shim and An Shim squeezed the oil in the countryside,
and you only got two bottles.
But that's perilla oil.
Whatever. I don't care which one it is.
What are you going to do with Gab Soon?
Why aren't you doing anything?
I just don't know what to do. I'm frustrated, too.
Let's eat first.
I can't let you die like this.
Consider yourself lucky.
You have a friend who brings you food.
Gab Dol's mother would be miserable alone.
Why are you talking about her?
This is all because of that witch.
If she had approved, we would've approved it, too.
Honey. What should I do?
I came to you because I don't know what to do.
He's kicking up a row now.
I can't handle him by myself.
Please help Gab Dol get a grip of himself.
If Gab Soon was a teacher, I would accept her,
but she's a cleaner. How could I let her marry Gab Dol?
Besides, she walks all over Gab Dol.
It's obvious that he will be under her thumb if they get married.
Maybe they were enemies in their previous lives.
No matter how hard I try, I can't pull them apart.
Also,
I told you I'd get married again, but I decided not to.
I don't exactly like him.
I just thought I'd have a comfortable life because he's rich.
It didn't really mean anything.
There's a huge age gap.
He might get sick, and I may have to take care of him.
I felt bad for you as well, so I dumped him.
Don't be mad at me.
Honey.
Please try to make Gab Dol...
change his mind.
Please.
Relief Patch.
What brings you here? How did you know where I live?
I have your address.
What is it?
I just put on a pain relief patch. Doesn't it smell?
It does.
Why were you crying? What's wrong?
Did you go there again?
I saw Soo Jo delivering water.
Don't do that. It'll only break your heart.
I thought about talking to him many times,
but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
I'd do whatever it takes for him to forgive me.
It'll take some time for him to do that.
It's not like he has good memories with you.
You abandoned him right after he was born. He'd have deep resentment.
Besides, you accused him as a thief at the police station.
I must've been crazy that day. I don't know why I did that.
Don't worry. I have an idea.
Even if he moves in here, there's no room for him to stay.
We have rooms upstairs.
Gong Joo and Se Gye use the rooms upstairs.
I can ask them to move to the annex.
We haven't fixed it yet.
They can stay there temporarily. Gong Joo would understand.
She lived a comfortable life. She can give away this much.
I want to do everything I can for Soo Jo.
He might...
want to move in soon, so I think we should empty the rooms upstairs.
I think I'll have to move out soon.
Is something wrong?
I should stop living with my in-laws.
Your in-laws wouldn't let you move out.
I'm sure it has been uncomfortable for them as well.
I've been living there for over a year. Maybe they'll let me go.
It'd be great if you could get a nice place and move out.
I'm not sure I should say this or not,
but you look gloomy these days.
You're not talking to me about your problems any more.
- I'm fine. - Actually,
I broke up with that guy.
Wow. Congratulations.
That's mean.
I hate to see good things happen to others.
I'm happy when other people are miserable.
Despite your difficult circumstances,
you raised my grandson into a decent man. Thank you so much.
I know you had no choice but to lie that you're a professor.
You were just struggling to make a living...
for you and Soo Jo.
Just thinking about it...
breaks my heart.
At first, I was angry and shocked that...
you swindled my daughter.
But later, I began to feel grateful that you did.
Because of that,
I was able to find my grandson.
I guess so.
I heard you haven't...
been able to get married because of my grandson.
After my wife died, I lived my whole life by myself as well.
It's really hard for a man to live by himself.
- Thank you. - Not at all.
You don't have to thank me for not getting married.
Anyhow, he has found his mother now.
He's her son. They should meet.
His mother goes out every day to see him secretly.
She's heartbroken.
I hope you'll convince him...
and help them meet.
I'm walking on eggshells around him, too.
He's stubborn. Once he sets his mind, no one can stop him.
Everyone in my family is quite stubborn.
He takes after me.
When he was little, he wasn't stubborn.
He didn't even complain about whether I fed him or not.
Until he was one year old, he barely talked.
He became stubborn as he grew up. I'm sure he takes after me.
It's nothing compared to your hard work so far,
but I just want to show my gratitude. Please accept it.
What is this?
Is this what I think it is?
Please open it.
It's 500,000 dollars.
I've never seen, touched or smelled...
such a large amount of money.
With that money,
you'll be able to live comfortably for a while.
But why are you giving it to me?
It's because I'm grateful that you've raised my grandson.
Also, if you let him go, I'll give you...
another 500,000 dollars.
Why? Is it too little?
Mr Yeo.
If someone...
gave you money for raising your daughter, would you be happy?
I raised my own son.
I don't need to get paid for that.
- That's not what I meant. - Forget it.
Don't try to buy someone's heart with money.
You can't treat him that way.
He'd risk his own life for his son.
He must've been furious.
How could you give him money?
He must've felt insulted.
Why would money insult him?
Were you going to just thank him, say a few nice words and turn away?
That's worse.
I don't know why people think money is so filthy.
It just becomes filthy depending on who uses it.
It's ridiculous to pretend not to know about it.
I think he is a naive person, although I still need...
to look into it.
You wouldn't know something is good unless you've experienced it.
He wouldn't know the value of the money you gave him.
I'm sure he hasn't had more than 1,000 dollars his whole life.
He wouldn't realise the value of 500,000 dollars.
He'd rather realise the value if it was 10,000 or 20,000 dollars.
You just caused more trouble.
My gosh.
(Si Nae)
Would you like to drink soju with me?
I'm in no position to hear about other people's problems.
I've done the same thing for you. You owe me this.
Why won't he move in?
If it were me, I'd gladly move in.
You said they're a wealthy family.
Maybe he feels bad to leave you behind and move in by himself.
He seems shallow, but I guess he has a good heart.
My son isn't shallow. He's very considerate.
It must be giving you a headache.
You've never been separated from Gab Dol, have you?
I was when he was in the army.
I guess I was also separated from him when he was...
studying in the mountain, and when he was living with Gab Soon.
Now I'm getting upset again. That jerk.
Did you miss him a lot?
When he was in the army, I missed him. I was also worried.
Soo Jo also went to the army, but I guess it'd be different this time.
Back then, I could hold out thinking he'd come back,
but I won't get to see him again this time.
That's not true.
You're both living in Seoul. You can call and see each other often.
Listening to you, I just realised that my situation is worse.
(Gab Soon)
- What is it? - It's your lunch break, right?
- Come on out. - Okay.
Let's eat lunch together and separate the bill.
I'm sorry. I already have plans.
Where are we going?
What is this?
Just come.
- I got this place. - What?
Don't say anything. I already signed the contract.
This is absurd. How can we live in a place like this?
Come in.
I said come in. I'll kiss you if you do.
Let's just start from here.
We have to save money as much as we can.
I'm sure we won't even spend much time at home. We'll only sleep here.
I can't start from here. Let's go out.
What are you going to do? Do you have a better idea?
Let's take out a loan. I'm a public official. I can take one out.
I can take out a loan myself,
but it's a debt, and we pay interest for it.
Let's save every penny.
I don't want to make you start from here.
This isn't right.
I know how you feel. I really do.
But I'm fine. Why should we spend much money on the house?
All I need is enough space for us to lie down and sleep.
We won't have time to cook and eat.
Let's just live here. There's nothing I want more.
It's more than enough that I get to be with you.
When we get our parents' permission and have a wedding,
we can move into a beautiful house then.
Until then, we should save as much money as we can. We can do it!
Thank you, Gab Soon.
I'll be good to you.
I'll be loyal to you until the day I die.
I'm sorry that we have to start from a place like this,
and thank you for being okay with it.
My dear wife.
My dear husband.
Tell Gong Joo to come downstairs. We should tell her.
What are you talking about? Did you say I have a brother?
Before your mum had you, she gave a birth to a boy.
They were separated for a long time, but we found him a few days ago.
How could that happen?
You never told me about it.
I couldn't tell you. Even I tried not to remember it.
I can't believe this.
You'll meet him soon.
Be nice to him, and treat him as your brother.
It doesn't feel real. I've never imagined something like this.
I understand.
But it's a good thing that you have a brother.
I'm so sorry.
My dad made a mistake. I apologise on his behalf.
He did it because he wanted to make Soo Jo...
change his mind somehow.
I hope you won't take it in a wrong way.
We're getting his room ready, so he can...
move in right away.
Is there any way to change his mind?
It breaks my heart to think about the hard work he's doing.
Professor.
Please make him move into my house...
by any means. I'm begging you.
So why did you do that before?
If it wasn't for that incident, he wouldn't have gotten so angry.
I regret it so much.
I must've been crazy then.
Please help him change his mind.
He shouldn't go through any more hardships.
How can he deliver water?
It breaks my heart. It's driving me crazy.
I bought you some sweet potatoes.
Ms Nam asked me if I ate. It wasn't like her.
She usually ignores me.
Why did you do that?
- Do what? - You jerk.
Are you happy now?
Everyone badmouths me. They say I'm not letting you go.
Let's just eat the sweet potatoes.
You like sweet potatoes.
I wasn't going to say this, but I will.
Can't I receive some benefits?
Don't you get it?
Go live with them and help me out.
It's not like you'll forget me.
You'll bring me food if they make something delicious.
And you'll share the money they give you.
Do I have to spell it out for you? Why can't you get it?
Stop that and eat this.
I won't!
Precious sweet potatoes.
You bought them for me.
You should learn to act.
Do you want to live in luxury?
If you move in with them, you can have meat every day.
You can have hot showers.
You can even sleep in a bed.
You said you wanted to sleep in a bed.
- You said your back ached. - Am I a kid?
I won't be persuaded by some meat or a bed.
I love eating instant noodles with you,
and I love this room where I can sleep next to you.
We're done talking, right?
Let me say one last thing.
I don't want to think of that woman as my mum.
I don't want to live with her at all.
This is paradise, and her place is the fiery pit.
Nothing works.
Threatening doesn't work. Begging doesn't work.
Your son surprises me.
Most people would run away from you.
People would die to have a rich mother like that.
I'm left with no choice.
I have to use the last resort.
The last resort?
What's that?
- Mum, you're here. - Why did you come back?
You said you were going out to see a friend.
I bumped into him at the store, so we came home together.
We need to clean this room tomorrow.
- Why? - I'll let your brother use it.
Then what about us?
Wait. Didn't you tell him?
Gong Joo's brother will need this room for a while.
That's nonsense.
I'll fix the annex in the back and let you use it.
I was planning on giving it to you.
While they fix it, Gong Joo and I will share a room,
and you should share a room with her grandpa. How is that?
Or you can stay with your family if you like.
Are you...
telling me to leave?
I'm not telling you to leave.
I'm just asking you to stay with your family while it gets fixed.
Don't you understand?
That won't be necessary. I'll leave this house.
Mum, why are you doing this?
How can you kick him out like this?
Se Gye!
Where are you going?
What my mum is trying to say is...
It's okay. I was going to leave anyway.
What do you mean? Why are you acting like this?
I can't stay here any more.
I'm human, too.
Let's talk later.
I'll come to get my stuff soon.
Stop snoring. You'll wake Dal Pa up.
Hi, Cho Rong.
I'm busy. Say what you need quickly.
I made tteokbokki. You should come and taste it.
You made tteokbokki?
That sounds delicious. Eat it without me.
I'll leave some for you. Bye.
That looks good, Cho Rong.
It's so hard to work out in a small room.
Cho Rong, make it spicy.
I'm so stressed out. I should have something spicy.
We can't have spicy food because of Da Rong.
You should put away your clothes...
and clean your hair on the floor.
Make your bed and do the dishes, too.
It's like I have two mother-in-laws.
I should move out. I can't live with you guys.
If you post one more thing on your social media,
I won't leave you alone.
I stopped a long time ago.
Your old post is still on the internet.
I'm so upset.
Jae Soon doesn't like you.
I'm her first love.
She divorced you because she couldn't get over me.
You know that, right?
(Geum Sik)
Your call has been forwarded to...
What do you mean?
I want to know how you feel about Se Bang.
Tell me the truth.
I hate him. He made me go through so much when we were together...
and even when we were getting a divorce.
I hate him for showing up now and trying to play dad.
I don't want to deal with him.
But...
I've never seen Ddol Ee so happy like this before.
I saw Ddol Ee play with Geum Sik once.
I became pretentious.
I felt like Geum Sik played with Ddol Ee for my sake.
I felt bad for Geum Sik for some reason.
I was worried Ddol Ee would misbehave.
But I was at ease when Ddol Ee was playing with his dad.
Se Bang would take good care of Ddol Ee because he's his son.
Also, he won't get upset even if Ddol Ee misbehaves.
That's how it is.
It's best to have and raise a kid together.
Ddol Ee hasn't been this happy since he went to the hospital, right?
Right.
I should let Se Bang visit Ddol Ee until he grows up a bit...
for Ddol Ee's sake.
What about you?
Se Bang wants to get back together with you.
Are you crazy? I won't.
You don't want that, right?
No. That's nonsense.
Then cut him off.
In the long run,
maybe it's not a good thing to let him see Ddol Ee.
- What do you mean? - What?
You know how Se Bang is.
If he leaves all of a sudden,
Ddol Ee will get confused.
You know he won't take care of Ddol Ee.
Where did Ddol Ee go?
Se Bang took him outside not too long ago.
I think they went to the playground.
Don't worry.
There's nothing to find.
Who said that? They're just jealous.
Just get a bag ready for the money.
A million dollars aren't much. That's nothing.
Bye.
Hi, Honey.
"Honey"?
What's wrong? You used to call me that.
You're crazy.
Ddol Ee has a cold. Why did you bring him out?
Do you ever think about others?
That's always been your problem. You only think about yourself.
- Ddol Ee. - Mum.
Bye.
Let's go home now.
Should we spend some family time together?
Shut your mouth.
You are so cute when you talk like that.
It's true. Clothes make you into a different person.
Check how radiant I am in this coat.
Why doesn't she wear this?
She should wear it every chance she gets.
She doesn't want anything to do with Se Bang.
Who cares if this is from him?
I guess I should just wear this.
It would be so nice...
to drink a cup of coffee at a hotel cafe in this coat.
Waiter, bring me a cup of coffee.
You look great.
You know, if I dressed up, I would turn heads.
I should have dressed up more when I was young.
It's useless when you get old.
When you're old, no one notices even when you dress up.
It's true.
Whether you're male or female, if you're old,
you can't dress to impress.
When you get old,
you only need a nice and warm cashmere sweater.
When you're that old, it's nice just to be able to walk.
We'll all just end up at a care centre with dementia when we're old.
You and me, both.
That makes me feel depressed.
Oh, my goodness!
My gosh.
Take this with you. I don't need it.
Do you think you can buy me with this?
There's someone who's willing to buy me a house in every colour.
Who? Jo Geum Man?
Don't presume that we will get back together.
Don't try to buy my parents with your money.
You are so despicable.
Just wait and see. I will make you regret saying that.
If you don't want it, give it to your mother.
It should fit her, too.
Just be a good father to Ddol Ee.
Try to make up for the lost time.
I'm putting up with you only because Ddol Ee likes you.
Don't you dare leave him behind after he gets close to you.
If you hurt him again, I will not forgive you.
If you can continue to be a good father, then do it.
I won't stop you from doing that.
Let's talk.
I don't think it's wise for you to push her too much.
Jae Soon doesn't want it.
- Did you tell her? - Tell her what?
That you were in prison?
You don't have to be so specific.
How else can I say it? You did go to prison.
If I told her about that, she wouldn't let you near her.
When you are doing business, that can happen.
Don't you watch the news?
Many CEOs of big companies are no different.
I don't care about that.
Ordinary people like us...
get scared even when a police officer stops us.
We've never gone near a police station.
Innocent citizens like us...
view people with criminal records...
as if they are monsters.
How can you act as if nothing happened?
I'm not saying that nothing happened.
It was an unfortunate situation. Don't mention it again and again.
Is she seeing that Jo Geum Sik guy?
I don't think I should talk about that.
From now on,
don't come to my house any more.
I've only allowed it because of Ddol Ee.
I'm not sure if it will be a good thing in the long run.
What if Ddol Ee finds out about it later?
He won't find out.
That will never happen to me again.
How can you be so sure?
I heard that you're doing a shady business again.
Isn't it obvious what will happen?
What if you go to prison after Ddol Ee gets close to you?
Do you want him to wait for his convict father?
Your words are too harsh.
It's because I'm frustrated.
I wake up so frequently at night.
Why do you keep going in and out of prison?
It wasn't even your first time.
I don't want my daughter to hang out with a convict.
My grandson doesn't need a father like that.
What if Ddol Ee goes to the hospital again? Who will be responsible then?
Hospital?
I'm saying that he can go to the hospital if he gets sick.
You can't stick your head into a honey pot because it's sweet.
That's all I have to say. Do as you wish.
It's me. Let's meet.
I'm in front of your house.
I can't right now because everyone is home.
Is Ddol Ee's father there, too?
No. Let's meet tomorrow. I will call you.
Okay.
It's been hard to reach you.
I feel insecure about us.
I'm sure you are no different.
It's only natural to fall for someone who can provide for you.
That's not it. Don't think like that.
I'm leaving now. Let's talk later.
We meet again, Jo Geum Man.
I heard that no one really welcomes you here.
I don't know why you came all the way here.
I can go in anytime I want. I bet you feel terrible.
Don't be concerned about our affairs.
You really don't get it, do you?
You don't have the means to support her.
Don't you have any self esteem?
I wasn't going to say this.
But because you're doing well now,
you keep bragging about your wealth.
Remember that you owe me.
I owe you?
When did I ever owe you?
When she got a divorce,
I'm sure you know that she had to pay off your debt.
I...
paid off that debt.
Don't you forget that, Jeon Se Bang.
Do you think you can buy me?
Just be a good father.
Don't come by again. We don't need a convict.
Don't you forget that you owe me, Jeon Se Bang.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to ignore everyone...
and go through with it?
I'm sorry.
We will live as a couple after having a small ceremony.
I know I've caused 10 years of hardship for Gab Soon.
I will be a good husband to her.
I'm sorry. I have nothing else to say.
Do you not care about anything?
How can you be so reckless?
Honestly, I had trust in you. However, this is disappointing.
Even when a woman acts irrationally,
the man must maintain rational.
How can you expect to lead a family without doing that?
I'm so disappointed.
Take my daughter and live with her for the rest of your life.
I cannot approve this.
Where have you been?
Gab Soon's father lectured me.
You deserve it.
Can't you reconsider?
Don't do this to me.
What happened?
We checked all the restaurants,
but Gab Soon declined because of the cost.
So we got a fast food place.
A fast food place?
How can we have a ceremony at a fast food place?
What can you do? That's all you can afford.
We had a hard time getting that place.
For two hours, we get unlimited tteokbokki and gimbap.
What does Gab Soon say?
She says it's okay as long as it's cheap.
Mum, I'm leaving.
I will visit you on New Year's Day and on your birthday.
If Gab Soon is busy, I will visit by myself.
Also, she will be your daughter-in-law.
Bye, Mum. Don't be sick.
I'm sure you'll come to understand me one day.
I'm leaving.
I will visit you on holidays.
I will come on your birthdays.
I'll make sure to be a good daughter.
I will also tell Gab Dol to be a good son-in-law.
Goodbye.
Be healthy.
(Gab Dol and Gab Soon's Cohabitation Ceremony)
(Dad's Fast Food)
- Let's do this. - Let's do this.
Groom and bride, get ready.
It's unlimited tteokbokki and gimbap for 200 dollars.
That's too much.
Don't you know me? I got it for 180 dollars.
And we got drinks for free. I did well, right?
You did well.
We should be doing this at a nice place.
Why are we doing this in a restroom?
Your parents are so harsh.
How can they let you get married like this?
They should just give their approval.
How do I look?
Take a look.
It's beautiful. I like it.
Can you reconsider?
You should convince your parents and do it at a nicer place.
I can't bear to watch this.
Does 10 years of dating result in getting married here?
You will remember this day forever.
If you're like this, how worse do you think it will be for Gab Soon?
Later on,
I will find the most beautiful wedding dress for Gab Soon.
They're coming.
Start.
Gab Dol.
Gab Soon.
Gab Dol. Gab Soon.
Live happily together.
Live happily.
Congratulations.
Let's go to the airport.
Are you inside?
Do Geum.
Can you get me some medicine?
Are you sleeping?
Don't cry. What's wrong?
I got all emotional when I saw you.
What were you doing there?
What do you think?
It's over between us.
I don't have any regrets. You shouldn't either.
Anyway, why are you crying?
My heart is aching so much.
I'm unlucky with both my spouse and children.
Children are useless.
How can he betray me?
Whom can I trust?
Don't cry.
You have a good son.
- What? - I would be...
proud to have a son like yours.
Don't say bad things about him.
What are you talking about?
- What do you want to do today? - I want to ride a bike.
Isn't it too cold?
It's okay. It's so fun.
- Do you love your dad? - Yes, this much.
Me, too. I love you this much, too.
Dad, don't go away from now on.
I won't. I will never go away.
I promise.
I used to go here.
Where?
You used to go to this hospital?
Yes, I got treatments.
(Heart and Empathy, Child Counselling Centre)
It's chilly here.
The boiler doesn't work well. That's why it's so cheap.
I'm okay, but you get cold easily.
We have each other to keep us warm.
I'm sure we won't freeze to death.
- Gab Soon, congratulations. - You, too.
You're so pretty. You're the best bride ever.
I've never seen such a beautiful bride before.
I know it's just flattery, but I still like it.
You're the best groom, too.
Let's live happily ever after.
Let's blow it out together.
You must be hungry.
You didn't eat at all. Shall I cook instant noodles for you?
We have cup noodles. Let's eat that.
Let's eat quickly and go to sleep. We have a busy day tomorrow.
Gab Soon.
Do you want to go home?
You can go if you want to.
Never.
I will make it happen here.
I'm going to live happily here to get my parent's approval.
Let's not say anything.
We both understand each other.
You can cry if you want.
We can cry together. I know you want to cry, too.
Mum.
It must be Gab Soon.
I knew she would come back.
What's going on?
My goodness!
What are you doing here in the middle of night?
I have something to say.
Have you been drinking?
Yes, I have.
What did you do to Ddol Ee?
How dare you come here drunk? Come back when you're sober.
- Step aside. - My goodness.
What are you doing? How dare you raise your voice here?
Do you even have the right to raise your voice at me?
Within a year of our divorce, you got remarried.
Then you make our son get treatments at a mental hospital?
Do you deserve to be a mother?
You're all the same.
You told me that you'll take good care of my son.
He must have been in so much pain.
His stepfather and stepsisters tormented him and made him sick.
What did you do to protect my son?
You said that you'll raise him properly.
You told me not to show my face before you again.
And you make him suffer like that?
Father, do you have anything to say to me?
If you are so considerate, why did you do that?
You told me to sign the papers and said you'd take care of Ddol Ee.
What benefits did you get...
from Jo Geum Sik...
that you'd ignore me like this?
With so many people, how could you not take good care of just one kid?
Hello?
Excuse me?
What brings you here at this hour?
(Our Gab Soon)
I'm here to get your approval.
I'd like to date Jae Soon.
I can be responsible for Ddol Ee now, right? I'll take him.
Get them married by this week.
We'll take care of Gab Dol like our own son.
Are you saying you'll make Gab Dol live in your house?
Come back home.
Gong Joo, I think it's better for us to end it.
Geum Soo Jo, you're my son forever.
You've been a great son.
Wait, Soo Jo.
I can't accept the person who took me to the police as my mum.
Let's eat out like this often.
Where are you now? Come home quickly.
Ddol Ee had an accident.
