There. I'm looking for Kang Nam Gu. I'm his family.
Kang Nam Gu? Let me check.
How could this happen?
He's at the back.
- Thank you. - Nam Gu!
How clumsy can he get? Gosh.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
Nam Gu.
Nam Gu?
Mom. Cho Hee.
Nam Gu.
Oh, dear. How did this happen? Goodness gracious.
I can't believe that this happened to my dear baby.
I'm okay, Mom.
I just pulled some muscles. I'm not badly hurt.
Nam Gu, I can't live without you.
If something bad happens to you, I will die too.
Stop crying.
I told you it was nothing serious.
It was just a fender-bender.
How can you call this "nothing serious"?
Why would you be in the hospital if it weren't serious?
I came here to get some tests done just in case. That's all.
- Trust me. I'm fine. - My goodness.
Mother, please calm down.
Nam Gu needs rest.
He might get stressed if you keep getting worked up.
Right. My son needs to rest.
Are you all right, honey?
I'm too embarrassed to see you and the rest of the family.
Don't say that. It's not your fault.
What happened?
I was waiting for the light to change,
and the car behind me hit my car lightly.
It wasn't a big accident.
Mom, I really have no injuries and no pain.
So please stop crying. Seeing you cry makes me upset.
Had we not gone broke,
you wouldn't have had to drive a car that keeps breaking down.
Nam Gu, it's time for you to get yourself a new car.
Get a bigger and sturdier one, okay?
Please, Mom. I wasn't even driving my car when I got into the accident.
What do you mean you weren't driving your car?
Then whose car was it?
Well...
Nam Gu,
the insurance agent representing the other driver is here.
Were you driving as a chauffeur?
A chauffeur?
What do you mean?
Nam Gu, what is he talking about?
Well...
You see... Mom, the thing is...
So...
You got into an accident while driving as a chauffeur?
Oh, dear.
- Mom. - Oh, no. Mother.
Dear me.
Auntie Pa Ran.
Can't you take me to the hospital where my dad is?
I'm so worried about him.
I want to go to see him.
I heard that he wasn't seriously hurt.
He'll come home after getting some tests done.
So let's wait here, okay?
My dad...
He'll really be okay, right?
Right, Auntie Pa Ran?
Of course he's fine. Don't worry too much, Ri An.
It's okay, Ri An.
He'll be fine. I promise.
I thought that he came home late every night...
because of the project he told me about.
I thought that was why he was...
too tired to get up in the morning.
Mother.
How did my family end up this way?
How did my precious son end up working as a chauffeur at night...
to make extra money?
I worked so hard to raise Nam Gu.
I cherished him.
I tried so hard to give him only good things.
Mother, please calm down.
You might fall ill at this rate.
You knew about it, didn't you?
You knew.
And you didn't stop him?
Didn't you even care that he might get into an accident?
Did you pressure him to go out and make more money?
No. I tried to stop him. I was worried as well.
But Nam Gu wouldn't listen...
You're so heartless and cruel.
While your husband was working his tail off every night,
how could you even sleep?
How could you swallow food?
Mother, it's been hard for me too.
Whenever he was late,
I was so anxious and worried.
I was as upset as you are now.
Then you should've stopped him.
You should've done everything you could to stop him.
Or you could've at least told me.
Then Nam Gu wouldn't have been hurt like that.
Goodness. My heart is breaking. Oh, dear.
Gosh. How could she be so heartless?
My poor baby. I feel so bad for him.
Watch your step.
Dad.
Hey. Ri An.
Dad, does it hurt a lot?
Don't cry, Ri An.
I'm fine.
Dad.
My little princess must've been so worried.
I'm okay.
I thought...
I thought that you were seriously hurt.
Dad.
I'm okay. Don't worry.
Mother, you should go to your room and rest.
Do you feel any discomfort?
Shall I massage your legs?
That's okay. I'm fine.
You look worse than me. Go and get some rest, Mom.
No mom would be able to rest without worrying...
when her son is hurt.
He shouldn't have checked out of the hospital right away.
He should've gotten every test available.
Why did you insist on bringing him home?
A car accident can have serious side effects.
Don't worry, Mom.
Mom.
Ri An, your dad will be okay.
A chauffeur job?
Nam Gu got into the accident while working as a chauffeur?
Yes.
Although he is my brother, I really respect him.
He swallowed his pride...
for the sake of his wife and child.
What does working as a chauffeur have to do with his pride?
Gosh, you.
Anyway, I can't believe how foolish he is.
Since the accident happened,
he should've stayed at the hospital and exaggerated his symptoms...
so he could get a big settlement.
But he said he was fine and insisted on coming home.
He has no clue about the world he lives in.
Nam Gu is not like you, Seok Gu.
Besides, lying about your injuries to stay in the hospital longer...
is a fraud, isn't it?
It's a kind of insurance fraud.
Fraud?
Yes.
I really don't like your way of thinking.
Gosh. You're so pathetic.
Hey, Pa Ran. How could you say that?
Oh, hey, Mom.
Auntie Sun Duk.
Nam Gu needs to rest, so you should go now, Pa Ran.
Go. Leave now.
Why did it happen to my dear son...
My dear Nam Gu...
Why did it happen to Nam Gu?
Hey, by the way...
Why won't Kang Rim come out of his room?
Is he not going to go out to see Sun Hae tonight?
I told you to pretend you don't know anything.
I wish I could.
But I'm worried about him.
I don't want him to waste his time...
while hesitating like this.
Neither Kang Rim nor Sun Hae is so young anymore.
Was my wallet at your house?
It was stuck between the cushions of my sofa.
I just found it.
I see. It's getting late now,
so I'll pick it up tomorrow.
You'll be home tomorrow, right?
Yes. Of course I'll be home since it's the weekend.
Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm sure that Nam Gu didn't have a proper meal for dinner.
What should I make for him?
Do you need something, Mother?
No, I don't need anything.
How is Nam Gu?
Well... He just fell asleep.
Please don't worry too much.
Right. He must be exhausted.
Cho Hee, come and sit here.
What is it, Mother?
Are we struggling financially?
To the point that your and Nam Gu's paychecks don't cover everything?
Yes. We're struggling in many ways.
Well, I understand. You have to pay off the loan...
and pay the rent.
And Ri An's academy fees must be quite expensive.
I understand that, but still...
I'm just so upset.
I worked so hard to raise him.
It breaks my heart that he got hurt while working a side job.
I'm sorry, Mother. I should've tried harder to stop him.
Cho Hee.
I understand that you want to give Ri An...
better opportunities for her studies just as she wants.
But must you send her...
to an expensive academy in Gangnam when we're struggling financially?
Mother.
How about she takes a break from the academy for the time being?
You know that Ri An can get good grades...
without going to such an academy.
Let's try to cut our expenses as much as we can.
I'll get first place in the contest.
I'll make sure to get first place.
We've been working so hard.
Why won't things get any better?
Your skin is so rough and dry.
I'm sorry, Cho Hee.
What are you apologizing for?
I wanted to make you the happiest woman in the world.
But I only put you through so much hardship.
That's not true. There's no husband like you.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
By the way, did the urgent thing go well?
Yes. Thank you for letting me take two days off.
I said you didn't have to clean the shop.
it's no bother, sir.
This is the least I could do to repay you for your kindness.
Really? Then, thank you in advance.
Oh, that place? Of course, I know it.
Yes. Then I'll see you there, Mr. Yang.
Yes!
I'll ask Kang Rim for some money.
Gosh. Be careful, will you?
I'm glad you came out.
Are you going somewhere?
Where are you going? You're all dressed up.
Oh, I get it. Do you have a weekend date?
Gosh.
Wait, Kang Rim.
Did you listen carefully to your heart?
Follow your heart, okay?
Bo Ri.
What?
Anyway, since we're on the subject, give me some pocket money.
If you give me a generous amount as your heart says, I'll be happy.
Please?
When will you grow up?
You're in your 30s now.
Aren't you old enough to take care of yourself?
Until when will you mooch off of your family?
Do you know what they call people like you?
A good-for-nothing.
If you don't want to give me money, then just say so.
What's with the personal assault? That's so petty.
"Personal assault"?
You mean, "personal insult". That's what you should say.
- Gosh. Why even bother? - Darn it.
Kang Rim, you petty jerk!
Wasn't it "assault"?
They must pay the rent if they want to live there.
Why must they always be a few days behind on rent...
and make me call them?
Let's go.
Honey, we'll step out for a bit.
Where are you going?
I'm going on a date with Sa Rang since it's been a while.
A date, my foot.
The contest is just around the corner.
She's not going anywhere.
See? I told you she wouldn't approve.
Sa Rang, go back to your room immediately.
That's enough. I'm serious.
Can't you see her gloomy face?
I'll take her out and help her relieve stress.
Sa Rang, let's get going.
This is an order from your dad.
- Okay, Dad. - Let's go.
Hyung Do! Sa Rang!
Gosh, seriously.
Just let it go.
Am I too early?
I should've waited outside.
(Water and soda are self-served.)
Hey, did you wait long?
No, I just got here too.
I see that you're down-to-earth, unlike your image.
I like vintage restaurants like this.
Do you? I'm glad you like it.
You seem very different from your sister.
Absolutely. I'm completely different from her.
I would say that Cho Hee is uptight...
whereas I'm free-minded.
The popular idol singers who are leading the Korean Wave...
used to train with me to become a singer.
I'm supposed to be on that stage.
But I'm only treated like a good-for-nothing by my family.
Wait and see.
I'll make sure to become successful and get my revenge.
Darn it.
Bo Ri, let's leave now. I'll take you home.
No, we're not leaving. It's just the beginning.
You know...
I'm not going home tonight.
Pardon?
I won't go home.
I'll stay and drink some more.
Stop drinking. You're already drunk.
That's the whole point of drinking.
I won't stop drinking...
until you get drunk.
No. I really think you should go home now.
I don't want to.
I want to go to another place.
Let's go to another place.
Bo Ri. Hey, are you all right?
I'm drunk.
Yes, I know that.
Hey, don't you dare send me home.
Bo Ri?
I'm sorry. I can't go out right now.
That's okay. I'll take her home.
I just need her address.
Okay. I'm really sorry.
Why did Bo Ri drink until she got hammered?
- Gosh. - What's going on?
Apparently, Bo Ri met the chief director of my company.
The chief director?
You mean the one I saw before?
Yes, the one you got the wrong idea about.
Why did the chief director drink with your sister?
Well, he owes Bo Ri for something.
He owes her?
Don't ask.
That girl drives me crazy.
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
Sisters Side Dish...
There it is. Sisters Side Dish. We're here.
Bo Ri, is this where you live?
What? No, the dry cleaning shop.
The dry cleaning shop? There.
Are you sure it's not Sisters Side Dish?
No. That's not it.
It's across from the dry cleaners. Sisters Side Dish.
Sisters Side Dish.
Bo Ri, I'm so exhausted right now.
Is it the dry cleaners or the side dish store?
Which one is correct? Take a guess.
(Sisters Side Dish)
My goodness. Bo Ri.
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
Hello.
Gosh. Why won't Auntie pick up?
I think you should go to your mother's house.
I can't leave when you're in this state.
It's okay. They'll call me if anything happens.
My daughter caused you so much trouble.
I apologize on her behalf.
That's okay. I didn't know that Bo Ri couldn't drink much.
She can't drink much? Come on. She can drink like a sailor.
By the way...
Have we met before?
I mean...
You look familiar. I think we've met before.
Maybe It's because you look like a nice person,
but I feel like I have met you somewhere as well.
I don't know. I have never met you before.
Are you single?
- Hey, Poong Geum. - Yes?
I'm just saying...
Seeing that they had drinks until this hour, just the two of them,
they must not just be friends.
It's natural for me to ask him as Bo Ri's aunt.
Don't you think?
Right, of course. I'm not married yet.
And I met Bo Ri...
Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet.
Here. I'm Yang Jae Min.
I work at the same company as Ms. Seo Cho Hee.
(Cometome, Chief Director Yang Jae Min)
"Cometome, Chief Director Yang Jae Min"?
Chief director?
Then is he the one...
Jang Geum.
Why are you two looking at me like that?
My gosh. I can't believe you.
How dare you come to our house? How brazen.
Gosh. You even got Bo Ri drunk and carried her on your back.
Do you have some sort of grudge against our family?
Pardon me? I don't follow.
Please leave now.
What?
What... Didn't you hear what she said?
She told you to leave at once.
(Sisters Side Dish)
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
Why are they so mad?
I should've waited for Ms. Seo.
Maybe I shouldn't have brought Bo Ri home myself.
Hi, Kang Rim.
I got us some beer.
(National Wife)
- Ri An, you can do this. - I can do this.
Intimidate them all with your grades.
Hey, why did you take out a different colored pen?
The entire family must've been worried, including Ms. Na.
I should've stayed grounded...
and played the role of the elder.
Her pride was what kept her going until now.
I've made my decision.
Mother.
