(Episode 24)
- Really? - Really?
Yes, he's coming to greet the family tomorrow.
Gwang Nam, congrats!
Isn't it too soon?
You must've moved through all the bases already.
Is it an apartment? How big is it?
It's a huge penthouse apartment.
I think it's over 330m².
He owns a few buildings too.
What do I have to offer, right?
Like Aunt Bong Ja said, I don't have a job that pays well.
And like Aunt Taeng Ja said, age is the best weapon a woman has.
I should marry a guy who likes me while I'm young enough.
To be honest, the house won me over.
What a gold-digger.
Say what you want about me.
I just want our family to live in one big house.
I'd love our dad to live in a nice house...
before he ages any more.
We were all so proud when you snagged a lawyer,
but this is even better.
Let's tell your father right away.
Don't you feel anything when you look at her?
Look at the kind of men she manages to bring home.
You need to improve your taste in men.
Gwang Nam, give her one-on-one tutoring...
or get her some classes.
Auntie, that's enough.
Besides, she ended it with him at the beach.
I didn't. I'm not going to break up with him.
What?
Gwang Sik, I wasn't going to say this,
but I once dated a man in college...
who I thought of marrying.
One day, he took me to the room he was renting.
It was a shabby basement apartment...
which brought me back to reality.
This is where I'd live if I married him.
This would be my future.
I left the apartment and him as well.
I know what you mean.
Do you know why Pyeon Seung divorced me so easily?
Why do you think the leech released me from his bite?
Unit 301 paid him 50,000 dollars to make him divorce me.
He knew that Pyeon Seung wasn't agreeing to the divorce,
so he paid him 50,000 dollars to unshackle me.
By working at a moving company through his injuries,
he'd have to save up 1,500 dollars a month for 3 years.
He got a loan to pay Pyeon Seung off...
and made sure I didn't know.
The rest of you only offered your words as advice.
If you have anything to add, go ahead.
As if anyone could.
I'd like you to respect whatever I do...
and whoever I date.
A mere amount of 50,000 dollars has her preaching love again.
A mere amount of 50,000 dollars?
You've never even given me 5 dollars before.
Unit 301 has a heart as big as the ocean...
while ours is the size of a saucer.
- Touche. - Touche.
I had no idea.
A man that thoughtful is worth dating.
My ex who lived with me for 15 years got me only 34,000 dollars.
And he got you 50,000 dollars?
That's not easy for a guy who lives in a studio.
It shows his feelings.
Thank you for saying that.
You should definitely date a generous man.
One thing about a person can say a lot about the rest of him.
Good luck with that.
Keep your buttocks low.
- Look straight ahead. - Don't push me.
Hang in there. Lower your body a little.
- I need to drink water. - You'll drink water after this.
Go down.
Please stop crying.
I can't do this.
This is too hard.
Drink some water.
Thank you.
I'll do it again.
Let's try it again.
There you go.
Give that to Grandma.
Blessing, your mom is home.
Did you eat something?
I had marinated crab with some rice.
I told you to get rid of the smell after you eat something.
I worked out all day without eating. The smell drives me crazy.
I will appreciate your cooperation.
Gosh, I'm dizzy.
"Mom, please look at me. I'm Blessing."
I need to get some rest.
Will you take a look at Blessing's face?
He's been waiting for you all day.
I'm just tired.
I'm tired to death.
The marinated crab was really good.
Mother.
Okay. I won't talk about food.
(Chairman Heo Pung Jin)
You're here.
I don't need your greeting from your chair.
Just give me the list.
- Sa Chae. - Yes, sir.
- It's five percent, right? - Yes.
When I went to your club the other day, I saw a good band member.
Why don't you support him to be a singer?
It's not like anyone can be a singer.
He wanted to be a singer when he was younger,
but things didn't work out.
That's how he ended up there with me.
It's not over though.
He's still young. You don't know how things will work out.
He might be a successful singer.
Isn't that obvious? There are tons of guys like him.
But he seemed different. I have a good judge of character.
Just be nice to him. He might bring you good luck.
Do you think he can collect loans?
That was the blacklist.
We'll see.
(Today is samgyetang day, A Spoonful of Moonlight)
Ma'am.
Please keep these in plain sight.
People are not familiar with the brand, so they're not buying it.
But I sold one yesterday and another one today.
Really?
- Here. - Oh, okay.
There's Unit 301.
Hey, Ttu Gi.
Hello.
You're all dressed up, so I almost didn't recognize you.
I'm sorry I moved out without saying goodbye.
You don't have to apologize.
This is a little something for you.
Why would I get this?
I'm not even the landlord.
I'd like to thank you for everything.
I didn't do anything for you though.
I'm the one who should thank you. You saved me when there was a fire.
You don't have to say that again. Please just take this.
You can take it, Uncle.
Please take care, sir. I'll see you again.
Okay.
See you, Ye Seul.
See you soon, Ttu Gi.
Gosh, I'm not sure if I can accept this.
This is red ginseng. It must've cost him a lot.
I know.
I'm the one who should get him a gift.
I would've died in the fire if it weren't for him.
You wouldn't have died. Someone else would've saved you.
You should bring this back to him. You have his number.
It's not like I'm his father-in-law. This is too much.
What do we do? I agree that this is too much.
Why are you asking me? Just take it, Dad. It's for you.
Dad, my meal kit is starting to sell.
Really? I'm glad to hear that.
I bet it will be successful.
I'm glad that it's finally selling.
I should get going.
Even my children don't buy me red ginseng.
And I finally got it from a stranger.
He barely makes ends meet. How did he even afford this?
Just take this and be nice to him when you meet him again.
Why would I see him again? He already moved out.
We never know what the future holds.
We might meet again for some reason or other.
What?
Nothing.
Ttu Gi did? Did she tell Dad to take it?
Ttu Gi is so quick-witted.
He kept refusing to take it, so I was sweating hard.
You didn't have to spend that much money. You're short on money.
I can afford that though.
- What are you doing today? - Practice singing with Mr. Tak.
Oh, right. You wrote songs.
I have a few songs I wrote myself, and Mr. Tak wants to check them.
Good luck.
I hope I won't get scolded.
Thank you for the food.
By the way, why did you bring my dad a gift all of a sudden?
What?
To get on his good side.
Why? Why do you want to get on his good side?
Because we are neighbors.
Do you give out red ginseng to all your neighbors?
That's what I do.
I'm grateful that he cleans up the building all the time.
And?
He takes out my trash.
And?
And he says hello back to me.
And?
And...
There's no other reason.
Forget it. That's disappointing.
I'm running late. Bye.
And because he's your father.
Okay, okay, it's okay
The heart wants what it wants
Okay, okay, I'm not giving up
I'll think about it tomorrow
Life is
Gosh, no.
I'll try it again.
Okay, okay, it's okay
- Can't he... - The heart wants what it wants
Can't he feel the emotions?
Okay, okay, I'm not giving up
I'll think about it tomorrow
On the stage of life
I sometimes struggle
Darn it.
Excuse me.
Is anyone in there?
You know Chairman Heo Pung Jin, right?
You borrowed 3,000 dollars from him in 2015.
I need to take the principal back today.
You don't need to pay the interest. Just give me the principal.
Take whatever you want if you think it's worth anything.
There's nothing worth taking.
What do you eat? You're frustrating.
Prepare the money by next week.
If you don't, you'll end up like Hwang Mang Tae.
Don't take me for a pushover.
I'm an expert in this field.
(Supermarket)
I can finally see straight.
What am I even doing?
I might kill myself.
I have no choice.
Oh, dear.
It's not for free.
I need you to live to take your money.
Eat all this,
get back up, and pay us back.
Okay?
You might kill yourself.
Have just one spoonful.
You need to eat to work out.
I can't eat any carbs.
I can't let my daughter-in-law starve.
Get up.
It's all on you if I don't lose any weight.
Yes, it's all on me.
Your face is half the size.
You're spending to lose the weight you spent to gain.
Why must you cry over that?
Mother. You know you speak very spitefully, don't you?
It's offensive.
I'll eat just three mouthfuls.
You'll finish the bowl with three mouthfuls.
You're in the wrong yourself.
You went too far by suing her.
As a lawyer, he saw the worst of people,
and he hates it when families sue one another.
All the judges and lawyers are seniors, juniors, or friends.
If word gets out that his new wife sued his ex-wife,
how will he survive the hearing?
Not everyone gets their own hearing.
Who knows? He might become a congressman.
He'll become a congressman?
He can't represent the public without knowing how a woman feels.
Don't speak ill of him, and don't get in his way.
Why sue his ex-wife for chump change?
I did it because I was annoyed!
It wasn't about the chump change.
I just wanted to teach her a lesson.
What am I to do if you can't play along?
I'm fighting and struggling to make this work,
and I'm even starving myself to exercise to lose weight.
I know that. Why wouldn't I know?
Eat up.
You get sensitive when you don't eat. Finish the food.
I want to...
regain my health, reopen my restaurant,
have another baby, and live a great life.
He never gave me any expenses, but he wired her money.
This apartment is also mine.
His ex-wife is still saved as Princess,
and I'm saved as Ms. Shin.
Okay. I'll tell him to save you as Queen.
You can go on a diet tomorrow. Today, you eat.
Eat up.
Here you go.
Why are you here?
You should've just threatened to sue her.
You tend to push people too far.
Mother. Didn't you hear anything I said?
This is why she didn't respect you.
What?
His ex-wife didn't respect you as a mother-in-law.
I see why she didn't.
I'm suffering here. Does it hurt to console and comfort me?
Don't you feel upset about this.
I feel even worse.
I want to be alone.
She's... She's getting married?
She's marrying him?
Why are you so surprised?
You remarried long ago.
What is the guy like?
He's four years her junior,
and he has a huge construction business.
He built a lot of famous apartment complexes,
and he owns many studio apartments.
Not a few apartments but whole buildings.
She says they'll live in a penthouse.
It's bigger than 660m².
She'll need a scooter to get around.
As if.
You bluff too much nowadays.
I'm not bluffing. It's the truth.
She hasn't known him for that long.
Did your father give his blessing?
He won't, not so easily.
He has no reason not to.
Dad was overjoyed too.
He'll live with them once they marry.
I guess Gwang Nam got lucky.
That's not luck.
She shouldn't marry just anyone.
Hi, Gwang Nam.
I'm going to tell Dad today.
Come home early.
Okay. I'll be right over.
Gwang Nam and her fiance will visit with gifts from a department store.
I have to go too.
Dad.
Yes?
My goodness.
What's the occasion? Did a war break out?
If so, we'd be busy running away, not coming here to rescue you.
That's true.
Why are you all here in this tiny room?
Is someone in trouble again?
Dad.
What are you wearing? It's full of holes.
Who cares? I wear it to sleep.
It's nice and comfortable.
Don't wear that from now on.
I'll buy you a new shirt.
Are you flexing already?
Brag about it only when it's yours to spend.
What? What does that mean?
Dad. I'm seeing someone.
He'll visit you tomorrow.
He asked her to marry him.
What?
He has a large business, makes a fortune,
and owns a few buildings.
He recently built a studio apartment and rented them all out.
How large is his place?
480m². It's a penthouse.
He's pestering her to marry him quickly.
What is all this...
You have a mouth. Speak for yourself.
It's what they said.
What's the rush?
He's the type...
who has to get things done once he makes up his mind.
He said successful people are impatient.
That's the first time I ever heard that.
You're impatient too. You're just not successful.
You might as well meet him. He said he'll visit tomorrow.
What is it you want to say?
I think it was eighth grade.
You'd flown in for the holidays and refused to return to the US.
Do you remember sitting in the airport...
after your brother had beaten you up?
More than once.
When your brother told me to watch you...
while he went to the toilet,
you looked up at me with teary eyes and said...
"Sa Chae. You know,"
"as soon as I turn 20, I'll get married."
"And I'll have lots of kids."
"I feel so lonely."
The airport was full of families going on trips.
Excited kids who were with their parents...
were talking and yelling,
and that's what you said, sitting in a corner.
When you said, "Sa Chae. You know,"
"as soon as I turn 20," I thought...
you'd say something like,
I'll get revenge against my brother.
But...
when I looked into your eyes,
I could see how you felt.
You grew up a lonely kid with just your brother,
and when you turned 12,
you were sent to a country and couldn't speak the language.
You were just 15 when you said you'd marry early.
Get to the point. What are you trying to say?
Do me a favor.
When do you ask me for a favor?
Don't even dream of marrying the girl you're seeing right now.
Your brother told me to follow you around.
You disloyal punk.
You followed me around?
I can't believe I consulted you on your love life...
not knowing it was her.
I wouldn't have had I known.
Well, none of your tactics worked.
You haven't dated before, have you?
Gong Chae said you take tips off videos online.
I'm taking a break after going through a string of girls.
Anyway, you can't be with her.
You may not know her, but we've known her for ten years.
You know how, right?
She's the one your brother hates the most.
Lee Gwang Tae.
Oh? Gong Chae!
Were you waiting for me?
Of course not.
It says so on your face though.
Oh, dear. Busted!
Did you have fun at kindergarten today?
If my mom would let me, I'd drop out instantly.
I have nothing to talk about with these kids.
There's nothing to talk about?
"Is your family well off? Do you have a boyfriend?"
That's all they seem to care about.
You can brag about being friends with me.
I guess I can!
Tell me if anyone is bullying you. I'll sort things out.
How will you sort things out?
How else? I'll go to your teacher...
and humbly ask to be more attentive.
Aren't you hungry? Do you want some braised chicken?
Even kids enjoy the one we serve.
Put your trust in me.
Why are you talking out here instead of coming in?
It's a secret.
Come on in.
Let's go!
(Ilmiri Jjimdak)
Look at you eat, Ttu Gi.
It's really good.
You're the best, Gong Chae.
I can't believe you.
You never cook for me, you know.
Discriminating against people by not cooking for them...
is the worst thing anyone can do.
I'll get around to it.
Can I take off early today?
I'm being introduced to my future nephew-in-law.
I'm only letting you because Ttu Gi's here.
We're here. Can you come downstairs to help?
My dad is worried that I'm moving forward too fast.
But here I am still running out of patience.
(Shining under Starlight)
- Hello. - Hi.
They are my sisters.
I'm the middle child, Gwang Sik.
And I'm Gwang Tae, the youngest.
Together, we're Gwang Sik and Gwang Sik's sister Gwang Tae.
I heard a lot about you. I hope we get along.
They'll be your sisters-in-law, so don't be so formal.
She's right.
Let me take that.
No, that's all right.
The name's Hwang Cheon Gil.
Are you kidding me with that name?
Keep your voice down.
Land development.
Does that mean you're in construction?
That's right.
I'm currently in the middle of finding owners...
for an officetel in Sinsa-dong.
Most have already been taken.
I'm grateful that you took the time to meet me,
Father.
As you can see, our family isn't that well off.
This isn't even my own unit. It's the one...
my sister-in-law owns.
I already heard about your living situation.
That's why I'd like to speed up the wedding.
I'll be the son you never had.
There's a certain order to follow...
and we need to prepare some things too.
How about next spring...
What's there to prepare? All you need is cutlery.
There's no need for that either.
The place is fully furnished down to the wine glasses.
Father, I'm only trying to speed up the wedding...
because tears formed in her eyes when she saw the apartment.
She felt terrible about you living in the basement...
and wanted to move you someplace nicer as soon as possible.
It broke my heart to hear it.
All you need to take care of is yourself.
I won't go to live with you anyway. Until I can't move my limbs,
I won't let my children take care of me.
That will never happen in this family.
Please don't say that.
As your eldest daughter,
I will bring you and my sisters to live with me.
Living with daughters is the trend these days.
Please do that, Father.
My gosh. He bought so much.
Will I get an officetel of my own?
Don't look for freebies.
Even managing this small building is a hassle,
so how do you expect to manage a bigger one?
Owning a building isn't as glorious as it seems.
The stress has you losing hair and teeth.
I'll take a building over that any day.
Of course. So let's vote.
Raise your hand if you approve of him.
- Me. - Me too.
He seems decent.
Being a businessman must've made him a big spender too.
I like the way he talks as well.
He's the full package except for his name though.
It's as if he'll lead you to death.
Who are we to make fun of someone else's name?
We only ended up with these names because our parents wanted sons.
Have him hand over his money first.
A second failed marriage easily leads to more.
You and your big mouth.
Gwang Nam, I approve of the marriage,
but aren't things moving too fast?
Maybe you should date him a little longer.
What good would that do?
What will time change anyway?
She'll only age. It's best to marry as soon as possible.
I don't want to live without a purpose...
and would quickly like to be a part of something again.
Being in an unstable state isn't something that I like.
To have a long and happy marriage, you should feel something for him.
I like him.
I might not be passionate about him,
but I hardly expect that at my age.
I'm comfortable around him and he reassures me.
My feelings for him can grow during the marriage.
I wouldn't marry someone I don't even want to kiss.
I'm sure you'll make the right choice.
That being said, I'm fully on board.
He seems like someone who can give me pocket money.
What's wrong? Don't you like him?
His background is more than good,
but I feel like she's rushing into this.
He has had a crush on her for a long time.
Back in the day, couples met for the first time on their wedding day.
But the families had all the details.
It was just them who were in the dark.
The matchmaker measured both families...
to make sure that the couple was compatible.
That's why successful matchmakers received gifts for their work.
They also got slapped for not delivering.
Should I stop the marriage then?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
I just have trouble...
trusting my judgment now that I'm older.
I can't be certain about things anymore.
It's the same with me.
When I was young,
I used to push through without having all the facts.
Now that I'm older...
and aware that there isn't always a right answer,
I feel like everything could be right in some way.
Because of my own financial state,
I can't say that I'll take care of Gwang Nam.
Who'll want her if she gets any older?
It's not like she has what it takes to run a fish stand like you,
run a diner like Gwang Sik,
or work part-time like Gwang Tae.
Gwang Sik and Gwang Tae will find a way not to starve,
but Gwang Nam wouldn't even be able to beg for food.
With age, she'll only expire.
No one will want her anymore.
Marrying her off when someone wants her...
seems like the right thing to do.
I should've been tougher on her growing up...
so that she'd be able to provide for herself.
That must be why she's rushing this.
It's what breaks my heart.
(New apartments for sale)
(New apartments: Even a luxurious penthouse)
My gosh. What...
Are you free for lunch this Saturday?
Cheol Soo said you should meet my nieces.
Invite your sons too so that we can have a meal together.
My sons too?
But they're busy.
Can't it just be me? It's not like we're getting married.
But we should at least know each other's face.
It'll at least prevent us...
from getting into an argument on the street.
My eldest niece is tying the knot,
so I thought it'd be best to meet her before that.
She's getting married? But she just got divorced.
What does the guy do?
(New apartments for sale)
- Can I help you, sir? - Actually, yes.
How many stories is this building?
- Thirty-five, sir. - My gosh.
The one who built it. Is it Chairman Hwang...
Yes, Chairman Hwang Cheon Gil.
- Father! - Hey.
Greetings, sir.
Is everything good?
Yes, sir.
What brings you by?
Well, I was just passing by.
The tall building caught my eye,
and it turned out to be one of yours.
There's no need to be so formal with me.
Have you eaten? Why don't we...
It's all right. I ate.
How about some coffee then?
That's okay. I don't want to hold back a busy man.
Chairman Hwang.
My Gwang Nam...
grew up as a princess being the eldest daughter.
She may have aged, but is still quite naive.
Sometimes, she's more of a child than her younger sisters.
That's what I like about her.
I'll believe that fate finally brought us together...
and will do right by her.
Please don't worry, Father.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
My goodness.
You heard about Saturday, right?
How is that important right now?
So your eldest daughter is getting married.
I asked around, and the fiance is a big shot.
You don't even know half of it.
I just got back from visiting his building.
It didn't feel right at first,
but now I'm at ease.
Are you sure he's not flawed?
What? Flawed?
Why would a man like him marry someone like Gwang Nam?
What did you just say?
I speak from experience.
People on the outside can see the scam,
but those closer to the matter don't see it coming.
Even Bong Ja's thrilled.
No one in the family is being rational at the moment.
How dare you put it like that!
Are you saying that Gwang Nam should only marry a flawed man?
Why should she?
Just think about it.
A man with a building like that...
could easily marry a woman who has never married before.
Let's see how Gwang Nam sizes up.
It's not like she's young. You've lost your touch, haven't you?
Where did all that college education go?
Just you wait and see.
You'll soon be on your knees.
Just wait until my daughter builds a good life.
You'll be begging me for forgiveness.
It's just wrong! Now, get lost!
This is just wrong!
Why you...
Pung Jin, I need you to run a background check on someone.
I need to stick it to somebody.
Why are you drinking at noon? What about your job?
I've been at this for ten years.
It's gotten old, and I need a break or two.
Why? Is something up?
It's nothing. I just needed a drinking buddy.
Let's meet up for drinks occasionally.
I'm most comfortable around you.
I wasn't going to see you again,
but you're the only one I could call.
Whether it's to drink or eat, I'm fine with it all.
Cheers.
What is it? Is it because of the debt you owe?
That's one of the reasons.
Just so you know, Gwang Nam is getting married...
and Gwang Sik has a boyfriend.
Is it because you're the only one who's single?
You...
How can you be so simple-minded?
Do you really think I'd be drinking in broad daylight...
just because I'm the only sister who's single?
I could get myself 12 in about 5 minutes.
It's just that I'm always the last in line.
Gwang Nam's marrying a rich man...
and Gwang Sik's working hard to sell her meal kits.
They found themselves weapons to wield,
but I feel like I'm heading out to battle with none.
And without knowing any of this,
my father treated only me to grilled beef.
Do you know what he said to me?
He said that I'm an unscratched lottery ticket.
I agree with him.
I only need to be scratched to win the prize,
but I couldn't even get anyone to invest in my convenience store.
For some reason, being in a bad mood made me think of you.
Don't take it the wrong way though.
It's just because we're in the same situation.
Nothing else.
Come to think of it,
I've never grown closer to anyone this quickly before.
If only you hadn't borrowed money from a loan shark.
That's what I regret the most as well.
Get us another bottle of soju.
Sure.
What's taking Ye Seul so long?
He's being suspicious these days.
- Maybe he's dating. - Come on.
If he were, I'd know about it already.
He wouldn't flinch no matter how I flirted.
Why would he ever fall for you?
Unbelievable!
Here you go. It's the rest of your rent.
I didn't mind paying for the full month.
I calculated the dates and only took what you owe.
We should be precise when it comes to money.
Although I'm not that way with other things, I am with money.
That wasn't the only reason I asked you to meet me.
I'm sorry, Unit 301. And I'm grateful.
Gwang Sik told me.
I didn't know you had done such a thing.
You gave up not 500, or 5,000, but 50,000 from your savings.
Not even family members would be that generous.
I'm truly grateful.
Thanks to what you did,
Gwang Sik was able to get her divorce.
After hearing what you did,
we scolded ourselves for being petty...
while you had the heart of an ocean.
I'm fine with anyone who puts Gwang Sik first.
She's like my daughter, you see.
When will you marry her then?
Sorry?
Gwang Sik told me not to interfere, but she doesn't know better.
You're 32 and she's 34.
I wouldn't be asking if you're not interested in marriage.
You're also past the ideal age if you want to have children.
Still, I'm not saying you should marry straight away.
Gwang Nam will marry this year,
so next spring sounds good to me.
We haven't talked about it yet.
Then are you two dating without marriage in mind?
It's not like I'm dating her without any plans.
I don't understand young people these days.
They think staying single is something to be proud of.
What if you change your mind...
and marry another girl, she will be left alone.
I've seen some couples who dated for 5 or 6 years at the market.
The man broke up with the woman, so the woman tried to kill herself.
I can't let that happen to Gwang Sik.
Do you know what I mean?
Tae Ri and Dae Chang just left.
Where have you been?
I'll ask you point-blank.
Are you interested in marrying me?
What?
Why are you asking all of a sudden?
Are you or not?
I just got divorced.
I haven't thought...
about marriage.
But if I have someone with me,
marriage doesn't matter. I don't care about formality.
I just thought I wanted to be with you in any way.
So you're saying there's a possibility of marriage.
Did you just propose?
Not yet.
I get it anyway.
Are you leaving?
(A Spoonful of Moonlight)
Did you come here to ask that?
I want you to pay it back.
The 2,500 dollars you borrowed 5 years ago.
Once you give me the money,
I'll leave right away. My legs are killing me.
Will you pay it back?
Just give me the money.
Make sure we get the money next week.
- Don't forget it. - Yes, sir.
You have to do this right.
Lee Gwang Nam is still in the dark, right?
How can she know anything...
when a large sum of money is going in and out of her bank account?
People lose their reason when they see such big money.
This isn't just about Lee Gwang Nam's account.
We should probably involve her whole family in this.
We can sell ownership of a lot to her aunt.
We can take her studio building.
But we will be doomed if we get caught.
We should just do one big last job before your trial ends and run away.
Now that it's already like this, we don't have to let them off.
Just destroy Oh Maeng Ja's whole family.
Just leave the matter to me.
I'm Hwang Cheon Gil.
(A guaranteed return)
I'll stop by your place for a moment.
I should get going.
- Hello. - Hello. Who are you visiting?
I'm going to the penthouse.
It's empty now.
I know.
You can't go in.
May I ask how you are?
I'm someone who can go in there.
I can't let anyone in.
Gwang Nam.
- You're here. - What are you doing here?
I want to measure the size of the bedroom.
Wait in the car.
It won't take long.
I'm sorry. My sister has a mental issue.
You shake hands with the guard. Are you close to him?
Well... I just appreciate his hard work.
He wouldn't let me in asking me who I was.
That was embarrassing.
That means he's doing his job right.
They have a problem with the auto system, so it's being repaired now.
He could've said so.
Don't worry about the bed.
I already ordered one from Italy.
You did?
I love beds from Italy.
I'm getting money. It's been like this since yesterday.
It's 220,000 dollars now.
Money will keep coming and going out of your account.
You know how much I trust you.
I do. Thank you for trusting me.
What?
It's coming in again.
I love it when the phone rings even though it's not my money.
Bye.
We need to talk.
Do you think I'm still your wife?
Why would I go and have a talk with you?
I heard you're getting married. You haven't known him for long.
Do you know a lot about him?
You're being ridiculous.
Do you still have feelings for me?
Why? Are you upset that the woman you abandoned is getting married?
You don't like the way your dad talks, but you sound just like him.
I can't help it because I'm his daughter.
People would laugh at you...
if you keep coming to see your ex-wife like this.
Just leave before your wife catches you here again.
Do you want me to call your wife?
You're out of your mind now.
Why would you marry him when you just met him?
We dated for three years, but look how we ended up.
Let's not do this here. Come with me.
Leave before I call my family.
If they see you here, you won't be able to survive.
I think I have the right to know whom you are dating...
and what he is like.
The right to know?
Have you lost your mind?
Did you tell me when you were seeing the restaurant owner?
Did you tell me when you had a baby?
The right to know, my foot.
Just worry about your second baby...
and humiliate yourself in court.
A lawsuit for adultery? Whatever!
(Shining under Starlight)
Gwang Nam.
Yes?
What's the matter?
You should come home.
I can't deal with Maria by myself.
You guys seemed to hit it off.
Save her as Queen on your phone.
What?
She's upset that she's saved as Ms. Shin when Gwang Nam is Princess.
It's not like it costs you money. Just do as I say.
Tell her that I'll save her as The Great Queen.
She's no better than Gwang Nam.
Now she comes all high and mighty with me.
And she says it's my fault that Gwang Nam didn't treat me well.
I have no luck in getting a good daughter-in-law.
They are just the same.
Now that she doesn't get along with you,
she gives me and even Blessing the cold shoulder.
You have to come home even if you don't want to.
Stop blaming her for the lawsuit.
She just did it because she was upset.
I still can't forgive that she filed a lawsuit.
I'll take care of it.
I'm going to die even before I get the money back.
Gosh, my legs.
(Han Ye Seul)
I recorded this temporarily. I hope you'll enjoy it.
It's me. Where are you?
Don't say a word and just listen to me.
You had your say earlier, so I want you to hear me now.
I didn't want to get married.
But I've changed my mind after I met you.
I want to be with your forever.
I want to get married and start a family.
I want to live a happy life with you.
I'll wait until you feel the same way as me.
And I'll prepare myself for that.
I'll make your dad, your aunt,
and all your sisters like me.
I'll try hard.
I'll become a successful singer.
Until then,
stay true to me.
I'll do all the suffering and struggling.
I'm your man.
Is this a proposal?
A proposal reservation.
Bye.
Gwang Sik.
Yes, Auntie?
About lunch tomorrow.
I'm free. Tomorrow is my day off.
You want to eat out as a family.
The thing is,
I'm going to introduce him to you all.
"Him?"
We get to meet him tomorrow?
Yes.
How did that happen? Did you get back together?
My heart's pounding.
Why would your heart pound?
We'd stayed in touch.
That's great, Auntie. You'll marry him, right?
I think so.
Congratulations.
Auntie.
This is the best thing you ever did.
I'm not sure about that.
You're doing the right thing.
He has nothing to his name.
He's uneducated and has nothing to show for.
So what? You loved him for decades.
Why worry when you have an income?
You can support him.
You're so cool about that.
There's no gender role now.
The breadwinner can spend.
Don't mind money when love is involved.
Taeng Ja says I should mind money.
That men spend as much as they love.
That's half true.
She caused a fuss saying he loves me for my building,
so I told her to be respectful.
That I'd write off her debt.
I can't wait to see what he's like.
You will tomorrow.
(Shining under Starlight)
Auntie. Uncle says he won't go.
What?
Why change your mind?
I can't stand him.
Why must you like him and make me feel like this?
Did you two fight?
No way. Why would we fight when we're not friends?
What is this about?
The punk. He can be so nasty.
He doesn't want my kids to do well.
He got jealous of Gwang Nam's marriage and talked nonsense.
It's not like his kids are stellar.
He got me a few masks last year and still brags about doing me a favor.
All he got me were tiny ones meant for kids.
That's terrible of him.
How dare he give you children's masks?
Forget about it.
What?
Why should I introduce a fool like him to the family?
I'll tell the girls and then I'll make him pay.
No, wait, Bong Ja.
What?
You don't have to go that far over it.
I was just saying I feel a little upset.
I told you that I won't marry him if you object.
Why should I bother when he upsets you?
What? You'll do that for me, then blame me forever?
Close the door so I can change.
What shall we eat?
Shall we order this?
Is this a special day?
I'm here because I was told to be.
Actually, today,
you'll meet your future uncle.
Not again.
You're really something.
It's not me.
It's Aunt Bong Ja, not her.
No way. Is that true?
It so happened.
My gosh. Who is he? What's he like?
I'm so curious.
Who managed to win over Ms. Oh Bong Ja? Who's the guy?
You'll find out soon.
When did you meet? How long has it been?
What does he do? I'm dead curious.
She's known him for a long time.
How could you? I feel betrayed.
I guess everyone's luck is changing.
I got lucky and now Auntie too.
We'll have to see if things work out.
Watch it.
You don't own my mouth. Can't I say what I want?
This is wrong.
Just eat your jjajangmyeon and don't say a word.
I knew she'd get told off.
I can't wait to see who our uncle will be.
Me either.
It's him.
You're surprised, aren't you?
This is wrong.
You all know him. Say hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm the eldest.
I'm the second.
I'm the third and youngest.
I know you all.
I hope you accept me, girls.
Sit back down.
I'm sorry for screaming at the police station.
I didn't know you were trying to take Dad's place.
I apologize for being out of line.
I'm sorry.
That was just the situation we were in.
I hope we can get along now.
I'll do my best to be a good uncle.
How about a warm welcome?
(Baegok-dong District 4 for Housing Redevelopment)
I think your nieces are disappointed.
So what if they are?
I wouldn't feel so ashamed if it weren't for last year.
Do your sons know me?
How would they?
Their mom could've told them.
She didn't. The boys don't know.
It would've been nice if we'd met them today.
Maybe next time. Let's arrange something.
What will you do if your sons object?
Who cares if they do?
It's my life. They can't object.
Thanks for arranging this, Bong Ja.
Now I feel like I belong to you,
and that we're family.
I'll be good to you.
You raised your nieces like they were your own,
and I'll be a good uncle too.
(Balance: 1,501 dollars 72 cents)
What should I give Gwang Nam for her wedding?
What should you give her when her house is fully furnished?
I can't even be a dad when I have no money.
Money makes you a parent.
Here.
Do what you can with this.
How much is there?
You just keep it.
You can't spend all you have.
The older you are, the more you need money.
1,000 dollars does you more good than 10 kids.
How much was there? 1,000 dollars?
More than that.
You're richer than me.
I can't marry her off with nothing.
You spent all you had marrying her off the first time.
She's marrying a rich guy this time.
Bong Ja, if you have some extra cash...
How dare you say that?
Bong Ja chipped in when Gwang Nam got married the first time.
You can't ask her to do that twice.
Nothing we can afford will show in a penthouse that big.
Let's just not bother.
Should we do that?
- About Dol Se. - Yes?
Did you meet his sons?
Not yet.
He met our family. You should meet his now.
His son didn't turn out too well.
His parents neglected him too.
He doesn't get along with his boys.
I feel sorry about him.
Have you seen his sons?
I only heard of them.
Maybe I saw them when they were newborns.
His older son's a nasty one.
He didn't even invite his dad to his wedding.
They cut contact. They're not in touch.
What about the younger one?
He didn't amount to much and does this and that.
What can he do without an education?
But still, he seems to be the thoughtful one.
He's the one Dol Se relies on.
Every family has a kid like that.
They sacrifice everything for their parents and are never loved.
Just like you, Bong Ja.
That's right. When things don't go his way,
he takes it out on his son.
I think the two are exactly alike.
I thought you should know.
Got it.
- What's this about? - Did you release an album?
Not yet. I just wanted you to check out the song.
Did you write it yourself?
Yes. I've written a few, so I decided to record one of them.
It'll be a big hit. I'm sure of it.
As if you know anything about music.
Why wouldn't I? I used to listen to a lot of songs, you know.
It only takes a second for me to size it up.
Anyway,
good job.
Your mom would be proud.
If only...
she were alive to hear it.
- Really? - Yes.
He complimented me for the first time in my life.
For the first time in 32 years.
Others might not even think of it as a compliment,
but bells went off in my ears.
"Good job."
I know what you mean.
Since we're on the subject, why don't you quit your other jobs?
You're busy with your album,
so how can you make time for the moving company and the band?
You need to work out as well.
How can you sing properly without a hardened core?
There's more to a singer than his voice.
I didn't know you were this knowledgeable.
I know everything except for things I don't know.
Now that you're serious about this,
give it your all, and see the end of it.
All right, I will.
The sight of you always gives me energy.
You're like the food I eat.
Byun Ho,
please come home.
I went by my lawyer's office...
and had the lawsuit dropped.
Really?
Thank you.
(Princess)
The receiver cannot be reached.
A reservation for three under Lee Gwang Nam.
(Medicinal Hands Massage)
Your reservation has been confirmed. Let me escort you inside.
I've never received a massage like this before.
Same here. Gwang Nam, I bet you're used to this.
It used to be part of my morning routine.
You easily get addicted to massages and keep coming back for more.
Lucky you.
This will be part of your routine again.
(Chairman Hwang)
Hey, Chairman Hwang.
We're receiving it now and my sisters are enjoying it.
Thanks. What about the bed?
Is it the one from Italy?
A bed from Italy?
I guess I'll see it after the honeymoon.
Will we move in the day we get back?
Got it. I'll talk to you later.
I'm jealous, Gwang Nam.
This is how one should live their only life.
What can be more to it?
Exactly. Even the bed is from Italy.
It's me. You weren't picking up.
The lawsuit for adultery has been dropped.
I thought you should know.
(Block)
Darn jerk.
What do you mean?
It's nothing.
Mother, I'm on my way home.
- Do you have everything? - Yes.
It's really exhausting.
The others already left for work.
We'll leave after sorting these out.
Cheon Gil.
Don't tell me you've really fallen for her.
You're being suspicious.
As if that's anything to be suspicious about.
After all that we've been through?
We've been tight since we met as pen-pals in prison.
You know me inside out.
Your insides may be visible, but not what's inside your head.
I can't believe I was crazy enough to write you.
As if you're the only one who was fooled.
In your letters, you pretended to be some innocent lady.
But I made you who you are today.
Don't get cheeky with me...
when all you have to do is play golf with women.
I trusted your intel about Gwang Nam being married to a lawyer...
and made my move, but she turned out to be broke.
You're the one who said that...
Oh Maeng Ja's daughter was well off.
I had to put on an act to make it seem like...
we met randomly on the street.
And we should suck her whole family dry.
This shouldn't be rushed.
When in a hurry, one should take the long route.
All right, fine. Just get me Lee Gwang Nam's money.
It's too dangerous to move the money right now.
The transaction will be too suspicious.
We'll make our move swiftly at the right time.
Don't be such an amateur.
Unbelievable.
I'm Hwang Cheon Gil, remember?
Come on. The others are gathered.
All right.
But someone might see us.
Don't worry. No one's even around.
(Investigator Park)
Mr. Park, I need you to look into someone. It's urgent.
(Revolutionary Sisters)
What are you saying?
He has an ulterior motive. Gwang Nam should stay away from him.
- She already set a date. - What?
Maria?
Maria ran away with Blessing.
I'm going to get married.
After how Mom died?
She fell ill because of that woman.
You're here, Uncle.
He's a con artist.
He scammed many out of their money.
You could be considered as an accomplice!
