Hello.
Is there something you wanted to say to me?
It's about my Ye Seul.
I don't want her to see me at the bottom.
I'm a man.
He's doing fine.
I just thought you should know.
Uncle,
are you going to leave my aunt like this?
I know how she feels.
If you offer her your hand...
It's fine.
Besides, my Ye Seul will soon find fame.
You two can then get married.
(Episode 34)
Aren't you in touch with Dol Se?
I'm not.
He's running around here and there to help his son's career take off.
He's not the same man who used to belittle his youngest son.
It's hard to catch a minute with him these days.
He must be busy helping his son out.
So much for children being the bane of your existence.
What?
You just took away all the fun.
You also should've warned me in advance.
Sorry about that.
If only you and Dol Se would marry.
Just tell me. What's the real reason you broke up?
I'd rather not talk about it.
Right.
I guess a third party can never tell what's truly going on between a couple.
Is Gwang Nam doing all right?
I'm not sure if she can endure the hardship.
Should we tell her she can come back home then?
You know, you can be a little annoying at times.
Just think of this as Gwang Nam's fate.
They say you can escape yours.
Even if you try to,
it'll be waiting for you back at home like so.
It'll be waiting for you at home?
I see you're having lunch.
Speak of the devil.
Cheol Soo and I were just talking about you.
Did you have lunch?
I did and I swung by on my break.
Auntie, did you tell Dad?
That's right.
She was wondering if you'd like to stay...
in the unit she used to rent. She's offering to pay.
It's fine.
I'd accept it from Bong Ja rent-free,
but not if you're willing to pay.
Wait ten years.
I'll then offer you one for free.
I'd probably die while waiting.
You can be so heartless at times.
How else do you think I became a landlady?
Being bold and ruthless...
is how you gain respect in this world.
Please accept this, Dad.
I don't like you living in the basement.
I earn money now, so please accept it.
I don't want to put you out. It's not like you earn enough.
The basement unit is nice and quiet.
Dad, it's about Gwang Tae.
Can't you approve of their marriage?
Rather than judging someone for their background...
and worrying about things...
and being scared of things that haven't happened yet,
we should do our best in the moment.
She's right, Cheol Soo.
Your reason for disapproving is too weak.
Living a rough life is nothing to be ashamed of.
Those are the cards they were dealt. It's not their fault.
What's with you all?
Her two older sisters are divorcees and so is one of her aunts.
Enough people in this family have promoted divorce as a pastime,
so I'll be handing off my youngest to a decent man.
Those two liked each other before she knew of his family.
It's not his wealth she fell for.
Their love is real.
Stop advocating for Gwang Tae and focus on your life instead.
Don't worry, Dad.
No matter what happens now...
They don't say this anymore,
but I'll die as that family's ghost.
I won't divorce a second time.
Sleep tight
This door won't shut properly.
Count me out if it's toast.
I'm serving a Korean meal.
It's not your turn today. Leave it be.
There's no need to be like that among family.
Anyone who has a free hand should help.
She only does chores when it's her turn though.
Buying steamed rice doesn't qualify as making breakfast.
You should steam the rice yourself.
I thought you said we needed to save every penny.
It's not store-bought rice.
Microwaving steamed rice that's been frozen...
gives you rice that's as good as those freshly cooked.
Yes, it tastes the same.
As if that's the same as freshly steamed rice.
Cooking rice isn't even a big deal.
It is when you have to get ready for work.
All the side dishes came from the fridge as well.
She still made the bean sprout soup.
Who made you her lawyer?
This isn't why I put you through law school, you know.
What about those without personal lawyers?
I can't believe you'd take her side like this.
Did you cook this yourself?
Yes, she did.
My sister told me her secret recipe.
All you can show off is your sister's cooking skills.
I bet my son is the only one your family can parade in front of others.
You're right, Mother.
My family would have nothing if it weren't for Byun Ho.
If you think that way, put him on a higher pedestal.
How can he overpower the judge only on bland bean sprout soup?
I shouldn't try to overpower the judge.
It was nice to see you with meat on your bones.
How is it that my son loses weight whenever he's with you?
He lost a total of 18kg, remember?
Maria was finally able to put some of the weight back on.
- About 3kg, right? - I should lose some of it anyway.
My belly has started to stick out again.
I miss Maria's cooking.
I haven't had any of the food Maria made,
but I'm sure it was delicious.
Why else would Byun Ho have kept going back there?
I'm sorry, honey.
Mother.
Even though it's not good enough, please take a bite.
There will be no one around to set the table for you...
once Byun Ho and I go to work.
Forget it.
All right.
You only ask me once?
Won't she have any?
Please stay out of it when Mother and I are talking.
And don't take my side.
I'll take that.
Don't be fussy about your food like a kid.
But... Mother!
Get out. You're even worse, you know.
Every single time, you take her side.
You just can't help yourself.
I feel sorry for your mother.
But that's you.
But...
He also took the food away.
Who are they trying to tease?
The rising star. Please listen to Han Ye Seul's song.
It's the bomb.
Please listen to the song. Here.
Han Ye Seul!
You shouldn't be making a commotion.
You have been reported for a noise violation.
- Listen to Han Ye Seul's song! - You can't make a commotion!
The entertainment industry?
I'm sure you know someone in the entertainment industry.
I mean a director or someone high up at broadcasting companies.
One thing I have no connection with is the entertainment industry.
Still, you might be able to find someone.
By the way, why do you ask about the entertainment industry?
I'll tell you later.
Hey, Sa Chae. Where's Ki Jin?
Is he with Gwang Tae?
Why would he meet her when the marriage is off the table?
I can't believe this.
Is Ki Jin's girlfriend Lee Gwang Tae?
Lee Cheol Soo's daughter, Lee Gwang Tae?
Yes. Her dad is Lee Cheol Soo...
How did you know him?
What a small world.
Dol Se, are you in there?
Yes, I am.
Come on in.
I told you to come over.
Is that because of Bong Ja?
I heard you messed up the family meeting.
- How did you know? - I told you...
about my friend who succeeded...
after going through a lot since his childhood.
That's Heo Pung Jin.
It's a small world.
Is that him?
You said he used to be in a gang.
I know money matters, but it isn't everything.
Did you just say an English word? "Everything?"
You dug in someone else's yard and bought lottery tickets for money.
And now you reject a building owner?
Gosh, this is crazy.
We never know what people like him are up to.
What's the big deal about money? What's important is a person's life.
What if he kills Gwang Tae without a trace?
I guess you watched too many movies.
Even a gang member wouldn't kill random people without a trace.
That's something your wife would do.
But ordinary people can't even think of stuff like that.
Did you really have to bring that up now?
There are tons of women who want to marry Ki Jin.
They have a long list of those women.
Those from doctor families and professor families.
Gwang Tae is nothing compared to them.
Why would doctors and professors want him?
You should beg them to accept your daughter.
Why are you being so stubborn?
To be frank, Gwang Tae has nothing to show off.
How could you say that?
How dare you speak ill of my daughter?
What's wrong about her?
You know what's wrong about her.
I just feel bad for you guys.
This isn't just about you. I also feel bad for Gwang Tae.
What choice do you have?
You will just grow old with your daughters.
This is just wrong.
Why? Are you going home?
I don't know.
You just keep upsetting me.
This is just wrong.
Wait. No, you can't go that way.
- Go this way. - Isn't this it?
No, it's this way.
Just think about it.
If you don't want to grow old with Gwang Tae,
make a good choice.
(Warm Heart Shelter)
He's not here. Where should we go to find him?
We should search all the underpasses in Seoul.
I will catch him someday.
Let's go.
Gosh, I'm starving.
(Yesong Gosiwon)
Hey, Bang Gi. I'm almost there.
I know I'm late. I'll be right there.
Gosh.
Taeng Ja, what are you doing here?
It's been a long time.
My son's store is in the neighborhood.
Did you not go to work?
I quit.
Why? Did you get fired?
You should've been more obedient.
Now isn't a time to work there.
Is something wrong?
I just don't want to live.
I knew this would happen to me.
You're not the only one who doesn't want to live.
Your face is all sallow. You didn't even eat, did you?
Follow me.
Here. Go home and eat this.
Thank you, Taeng Ja.
For taking good care of me.
Why are you crying? This is no big deal.
If you are thankful, you should pay me back later.
I've never had anyone who was so nice to me before.
That's not true. The chef at the jjimdak place was nice to you.
Those in need should help each other.
I'm going to China soon.
If things are tough, you can come with me.
China?
I know a lot of people in China,
so I can settle there soon.
I guess you can since you speak good Chinese.
I'll call you when I go to China.
You must be hungry. Go home and eat it.
Don't wander around with the sallow face.
You have no family who can take care of you.
Thank you so much.
I'll enjoy it.
She insisted on moving in here. So she should ask me for mercy.
"Mother, I want you to look after Blessing."
"Honey, you should scrub the toilet."
How dare she... I won't let this slide.
They're here. Bye.
I'm home.
- What's all that? - I went grocery shopping.
I'm all sweaty after the running.
It's my turn to cook dinner.
You cooked dinner yesterday.
Well...
She needs to visit her family, so we changed shifts.
I hate it when you say shifts.
It's always your turn to clean, do the dishes, and scrub the toilet.
Good for you.
Is this a school or what?
You just never say no to your wife.
I should be nice to my wife.
You said a husband should do as his wife says to bring good luck.
What's the use of good luck when you're tired?
I guess you're right.
Mom, I'm making curry today. Is that okay for you?
I don't eat curry.
That's what Blessing's mom wants to eat.
Blessing's mom?
How would she eat it when she's dead?
I mean Gwang Nam.
Gwang Nam is Blessing's mom now.
Who says that?
You crazy fool.
(Private Loan)
What?
How many times did I tell you?
Money is the dirtiest and scariest thing in the world.
Only those who have never made decent money shoot their mouths off.
- I'm sorry, sir. - You know I have no mercy.
Did he leave?
He's gone.
I'm glad you saw him on the way here.
How was my acting?
You deserve the Best Actor Award.
Even Lee Jung Jae would be impressed.
Do I really look like Lee Jung Jae?
I think you look a lot better than Lee Jung Jae.
I guess he will give up now.
This is wrong.
What a bummer.
I was hoping to get some help from my nephew-in-law.
He was beating someone up.
He has no mercy.
It was like a gangster movie.
I'm glad Dad saw it.
What if you got married without knowing that?
I know it's wrong, but this is a little disappointing.
Just end things with him.
I can't end it with him.
Dad, I'm pregnant.
What did you just say?
You always ask twice.
Gwang Tae is pregnant.
This is great.
You can't get pregnant before marriage.
This way, you can have your say.
You will have to do as you're told.
And Ki Jin will be like,
"What can you do when you're pregnant?"
That's exactly what he'll say.
I don't care who has control over whom.
I never meant to control him anyway.
All I have with me is my spoon. What can I do?
When did it happen?
That doesn't matter.
I don't want to talk about it with my sisters.
You said you wouldn't do it until you can take responsibility.
I was going to take responsibility for it.
When did you find out that you're pregnant?
Earlier today.
How many weeks?
I'm not sure. I just did a pregnancy test.
Are you sure?
Yes.
The pregnancy test isn't 100 percent accurate.
How many lines were there?
One?
Only one?
Was it two? Three?
Just tell me the truth. How many lines?
Two lines mean you're pregnant.
Were there two lines?
Yes. Two lines.
Why did you tell her?
Let's see a doctor tomorrow.
I'll deal with it. I'll go with Ki Jin.
Gwang Tae, tell the truth. Are you really pregnant?
What do you take me for?
Yes. Would she lie about something like that?
Think about her past.
She'll say anything to get out of trouble.
It's true.
Don't complain if you won't help.
It's bad for the baby.
I want to sleep.
What should we do?
We should let them marry if she's pregnant.
We can't let Gwang Tae have and raise the child alone.
She'll end up like Taeng Ja.
I can't let that happen. I can't make her a single mom.
Exactly.
What can we do now that she's pregnant?
This is her fate.
You say that often.
When things don't go your way,
it's easier to think that it was meant to be.
Consider this your fate.
I'm too reluctant.
If I were a little better off...
Why aren't you in bed yet?
I want to chat with Auntie.
I should marry you off before Gwang Tae.
We can't get the order messed up.
- Good night. - Sleep well.
Like he said, you should get married first.
There's a belief that the older sister...
can't marry if a younger one marries first.
I doubt that.
Shall I marry first?
Did Ye Seul propose?
No.
I wasn't going to tell anyone, but I'll tell you.
The team manager I'm working with...
is the CEO's son, and he proposed.
Did he? It's up to how you feel, then.
I don't think he's a bad prospect for marriage.
You can't marry someone who "isn't bad."
Even if you love like crazy, marriages suffer and break down.
Auntie. It's right when people say marriage is about timing.
Even my friends who had dated someone for 3 or 4 years...
meet someone on a blind date and got married right away.
I haven't given him an answer,
but he wants to marry after his China business trip and I might.
I sometimes think it's not yet time,
but when I think about my family and me,
I want to settle down and relax soon.
I can't make up my mind.
Are you rushing because of me?
To force me to marry?
That's partially true.
Leave me out when you make the decision.
Do you like him too?
I think he's a good man to marry and live with.
I like that I can settle down and work on achieving my dream.
Did you end it with Ye Seul?
Almost.
Perhaps.
I think he's over me.
Auntie. I'm 34 years old.
It might be more accurate to say I'm compromising with reality.
I'm cowardly, aren't I?
Life is about giving up...
and letting go.
If that's how you feel, I don't want to stop you.
His conditions are pretty good too.
Do you not talk to Uncle?
He's not your uncle.
Children are a huge part of one's life.
To make his son a singer,
he made photo panels to wear front and back.
It says all sorts of things as if he's already successful.
That's great.
I guess he's actually debuting.
Auntie. When I marry, why don't you and Uncle...
No.
I won't cling to him any longer.
I clung to him stupidly for 35 years.
He stayed when his first was born, and then when the second came.
He abandoned me at the most crucial of times.
Now...
Blessing.
I'm back.
Hey, you're late.
Is something up at your family's?
I'll explain later. Did you eat?
Yes, with Mom.
She refused to eat, but then finished her food.
Curry is easy to make.
Right? You just do what it says on the packet.
Most come with instructions on the back.
Even ramyeon packets.
I'll take Blessing.
No, it's fine. I'm almost done.
Oh, dear.
Where were you all evening, making my son do all your duties?
Do you enjoy making your lawyer husband do chores?
Whether someone does the chores...
for a day or two, we'll deal with it.
Why do you care?
Even if it's your turn, you're doing the dishes...
carrying a baby, and she sat here eating fruit.
See? I said I'd take Blessing.
- Gosh. - Forget it.
Don't you touch Blessing from now on.
(Shining under Starlight)
What are you doing?
Hello, Father.
I cleaned it all up.
Father.
I know a good hangover soup place.
It's really good. The radish kimchi is killer.
I know you're concerned about my background.
I couldn't put it all in the letter.
My brother and I had jjajangmyeon only on our birthdays.
It's a common food to others,
but to us, it's a special dish.
We almost starved,
and my brother struggled to raise me.
He sent me to the US so I'd be successful,
but I felt so lonely and tired.
That's why I decided to marry young.
Father.
I lack in many ways, but Gwang Tae and I will live happily.
I heard that professors want you to meet their daughters.
I never cared for them.
If my father were alive,
I think he'd be like you.
Once we marry, I'd like to make you my father.
That's that.
How could you get into trouble first?
This is wrong.
What do you mean?
Gwang Tae's done that.
Done what? What has she done?
Did she do it on her own? Gwang Tae said she's pregnant.
What?
Oh, yes, that's right. We did that together.
Yes.
It looks good.
Let's eat.
Father told me,
and I didn't get it at first, but then I had such a shock.
Did you say I lied?
You know me. I got smart.
I looked it up. We should say I'm six weeks along.
I don't want to start with a lie.
We have no choice.
I'm already pregnant. Play along.
Not like that.
Okay, six weeks.
I want to get married soon.
It's tasty. Eat up.
This is your favorite. Open wide.
That's it.
Make sure you don't mess up.
They can't stop us if we say we're expecting.
You left early this morning.
Where did you go?
You don't need to know.
Okay. I know you're having a tough time.
This is when you must meet a girl.
The hurt caused by a girl can be healed by a girl.
That's how it is.
Do you want to go on a blind date?
I know how to make a girl swoon at once.
I can teach you so you get it right away.
Leave it. You can go to work.
I'll set up a date.
Don't do it. Gwang Tae's pregnant.
What?
Sir.
It looks really bad now, sir.
You always say it's bad.
This time, I'm serious.
Gwang Tae. She's pregnant, sir.
She's preg...
It's my first time at a broadcasting station.
You'll find that it's better than expected.
It's my first time, so...
The product will be released soon, so we'll see.
Right. Of course.
Dae Chang?
Hey, Gwang Sik.
What brings you by?
It's nothing. I was just in the neighborhood.
Ye Seul, it's me.
I told you to get lost!
Don't be like this.
Let's try again.
You can always give up after giving it one more shot.
I'm done. I can't sing anymore.
Is this because of Gwang Sik?
What?
You got into the accident while on your way to her.
Why are you being such a loser...
when she's already giggling beside another man?
The anger alone should get you on your feet.
Shut it.
Do you know what your father's been up to?
He's been promoting your song on the streets.
He carries a board around with your photos on it...
and has been asking people to check out your song.
Whether it's windy or rainy...
Whether it's night or day, he's out there on the streets.
He hasn't even been eating properly...
just in the hopes of getting your career started.
So how could you be like this?
Ye Seul!
It's Han Ye Seul, the rising star.
Please listen to Han Ye Seul's song!
It's Han Ye Seul, the rising star.
("Okay, Okay," Han Ye Seul's first album)
Ye Seul, no. Don't!
Ye Seul, your career will take off.
As if that even matters now.
I don't want this anymore.
How can I be a singer when I can't sing?
You can always lip-sync!
Being a fake is never what I wanted.
I don't need any of this,
so stop this right away!
No, don't.
Don't you ruin what I made.
Stop this!
Dad,
it's all over now.
Don't be hung over it anymore.
You being this way drives me even crazier.
Just think that I don't exist.
You never had high hopes for me anyway,
so give up on me.
Ye Seul!
("Okay, Okay")
Don't step on it.
Don't step on my son's face!
I won't give up. How could I?
I could never do that to you.
It's about my Ye Seul.
He's doing fine. I just thought you should know.
It's nothing. I was just in the neighborhood.
(Number 1)
I hope everything's okay.
Is everything okay?
Oh, dear.
We switched shifts today.
Be honest with me.
You agreed to be the maid, didn't you?
That's ridiculous. I'd be a manservant.
Good for you.
Is this what I get for putting you through law school?
Mother, it's occupied. Please knock, will you?
I'm the one who's more surprised.
You should've knocked, Mom.
It was fine when I lived here alone.
Living with unwanted guests has made my life uncomfortable.
We're not exactly unwanted guests.
The door won't shut properly, and it doesn't lock either.
If you don't know, we'll both be startled.
Byun Ho, I won't be long.
Where are you going at this hour?
To see my family. I'll get going then.
See you.
There's absolutely nothing about her that I like.
She always runs off to see her family.
It's to discuss her youngest sister's wedding.
She'll be doing the chores for three days straight.
The sister who graduated from a college no one's heard of...
that hasn't been able to get a proper job?
Unbelievable. Who'd ever want to marry her?
I bet the man is just like her.
He studied in the US...
and the family owns a huge building.
He must be divorced.
No, he's a good-looking guy who's the same age as her.
Why are you being so mean though?
I wasn't always like this.
It's because she only cared about her own family.
I couldn't visit even if I wanted to see you...
while her mother and sisters always came over.
That was the case for 15 years!
Unbelievable.
Are you back to mentioning the past 15 years again?
Why not just have that as your middle name?
Ms. Ji "15 Years" Poong Nyeon!
You annoy me more, you know.
Just a second. Where's Gwang Sik?
She's on her way.
What's the topic today?
These family meetings have been wearing me out.
I've thought about it, and I guess there's no other option.
Gwang Tae, I approve of the marriage.
Nice!
Don't jump! You might have a miscarriage.
Congratulations.
- This is great. - Good job.
Take care of yourself until the wedding.
Yes, Father.
I thank you profusely, Your Majesty.
We should hurry up with the wedding so that her baby bump doesn't show.
You're right,
but I can't let her marry before Gwang Sik does.
This might ruin her chance to get married.
People don't believe in that anymore.
It's more, "first come, first served" now.
Gwang Tae will end up a mom if she waits for Gwang Sik to marry.
Someone has been showing interest in her.
Is that what she said? Who is he?
Is she seeing someone?
He's the team leader at the company she's been collaborating with...
who's also the CEO's son.
The company may not be huge, but people know it to be solid.
He already proposed to her.
My gosh. Lucky her.
He fell in love with her at first sight.
She once came home with a bouquet.
It must've been from him.
She hasn't said anything though.
I don't think she's made up her mind yet.
How old is he?
He's three years older than her...
and hasn't been married before.
The mister living in the basement is seeing luck in his latter years.
The second son-in-law is a CEO's son...
while the third son-in-law owns a building.
Did you forget that his first son-in-law is a lawyer?
My bad.
Maybe this building was built on sacred land.
You have nothing going for yourselves,
but you all managed to marry up.
Maybe things will work out for me too.
Weren't you the one who said we were cursed?
In what way can things work out for you though?
You never know.
She might meet the love of her life at old age.
Ki Jin, I'm off to see my in-laws.
Father approved of our marriage!
- He approved? - Of course.
We're pregnant.
I'll get going then.
But...
I guess we need a new plan, sir.
Are you sure you ambushed them at the motel in time?
You said nothing happened between them.
I had a short leash on him,
but I guess it happened before I intervened.
That must be what happened, sir.
This was highly unexpected, and now, I'm drawing a blank.
What do you mean I'm getting married?
You're seeing someone. The CEO's son.
Aunt Bong Ja told us.
Auntie, how can you tell them when nothing's been decided?
Your father wants you to marry before Gwang Tae's baby bump shows.
It's why I had to tell him.
Things must be serious for him to mention marriage.
That's not it. He just...
Just tell us already. You always pretend to be shy.
Back when you dated Unit 301...
Unit 301?
- It's nothing. - It's nothing.
Father, it's your son-in-law!
Gosh. Can someone get the door?
I will.
- Hello. - Please come in.
- Come on in, Ki Jin. - Welcome.
Please take this.
- Goodness. - Gosh, what's this?
Father, thank you for giving us your blessing.
Please accept a bow from your third son-in-law.
I'm glad you're here.
It's Korean beef.
- Have a seat. - Right.
Our family must follow a strict order,
so you two will marry once her sister does.
How long will that take? I'd be a mom at this rate.
I'm in a bit of a hurry, so speed things up a little.
Dad, she can marry first.
It should be in order. You're already seeing a guy anyway.
We'll meet him first.
You two will get ready to marry straight after her.
At your age, you can just walk down the aisle...
with the person you want to marry.
Weddings are easy, you know.
Doing it a few times taught me that.
That hurts!
That'll be all. I wish you all a good day.
- Mr. Jin. - Yes?
Are you free this evening?
Even if I'm not, I'll clear my schedule for you.
I'm free.
We should have dinner together.
Hearing you say that has my heart pounding.
All I did was ask you out to dinner.
It seems like something more.
I can get excited, right?
(Balance: 1,601.72 dollars)
("Okay, Okay," Han Ye Seul's first album)
You can stop trying.
It's not like we can drag him out of bed.
Thanks for everything, Dae Chang. I'll be in touch.
The pain must be eating away at him.
What on earth are you burning?
These look like photos.
It's nothing.
Do you know where I can borrow some money?
Is this about your youngest daughter?
There's no need to do anything more.
She already has her own dowry.
These days, there's no better gift than a baby.
My daughter's getting married, but there's nothing I can do.
I should at least buy my son-in-law a suit,
but I have no money saved up.
I can't even play my role as a parent.
This is what became of me when I've worked my whole life.
We spent every last penny on my eldest's wedding,
but now I'm marrying off two daughters at the same time.
It seems impossible.
Your second daughter too? Who is she marrying?
Is she seeing someone?
She met someone while expanding her meal-kit business.
He's the leader on that team...
and the CEO's son.
Apparently, he fell in love with her at first sight.
I guess my daughters have a way of drawing men in.
So you're saying...
that Gwang Sik's getting married?
I'm hoping to rush her wedding...
so that Gwang Tae's baby bump won't show.
Cheol Soo, I have someplace to be, so leave when you want to.
What? Where on earth are you going?
This is no way to treat a guest!
Hello.
We need to talk.
I'm sorry about this, Ms. Jin.
Should we take a rain check on dinner then?
- Yes. I'm sorry about this. - It's fine.
How is this possible? You're getting married?
How could you do this?
You and Ye Seul only just broke up.
Is this what your idea of love is?
I'm sorry to say this,
but it's over between us. It ended at the hospital.
I'm aware of that,
but how can someone as smart as you not know how a man truly feels?
He wants to be with you but can't due to his situation.
Being with someone in the toughest times...
is what true love is.
I don't quite follow.
My aunt said that he's busy trying to build his career as a singer.
A singer, my foot.
How could I tell her that my son is now as good as dead?
It's why I couldn't tell your aunt!
What do you mean?
Why is he as good as dead?
Due to an injury suffered in the accident,
he can't sing anymore.
He can't carry a tune.
He struggled his whole life since the age of 12...
to make it as a singer,
but now he's given up on his life.
Meanwhile, you're happily planning your wedding.
If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have crashed his truck!
He was supposed to compete in the finals that day,
but you ruined it for him.
You ruined my son's life!
Open up.
Open up, you fool.
Open up!
Excuse me!
He left this morning with a bag on his back.
Where did he go?
Who knows? He could've gone to die...
which is why I've been wondering...
whether or not I should call the police.
Hey, Dae Chang.
Do you know where Ye Seul is?
Ye Seul, don't think about staying here and head back to the city.
You're still young enough to try once again.
I'm done trying.
You should stick to what you're good at.
But you're doing just fine.
Do I really look fine to you?
I gave up on singing because I lack the talent.
Not you though.
Is it because of that girl you were dating?
Han Ye Seul!
We should go.
Sure.
Han Ye Seul!
Don't go. Han Ye Seul!
What?
Han Ye Seul!
No...
Oh no. She fell in.
Change into these. I got them at the market.
Your father told me everything.
About what happened to you after the accident.
Don't come looking for me.
After a few training sessions,
I'll be setting out on a deep-sea fishing vessel.
Ma'am, please let her get changed here.
This wouldn't have happened had it not been for the car crash.
I'm sorry.
Because of me, you lost your chance with Mr. Tak,
the chance to be on 15 TV commercials,
and your shot on the audition show.
Now, you can no longer sing.
How am I supposed to live with that?
Must you let me live forever in guilt?
Please let me be with you.
Let me pay you back while being by your side.
Please.
You were out of my league even when I could sing.
But now I can't do that or play the guitar.
I can't even earn quick cash busking on the streets...
or playing music in clubs.
I don't care.
I can endure everything if I have you in my life.
You're a silly girl.
Being with someone like me won't help your life at all.
I don't need your pity either.
It just makes me feel small.
Go back.
Mr. Byun Gong Chae. Here's the test result.
(This test proves Byun Gong Chae's paternity by 99.9 percent.)
What?
I'm still embarrassed to see you. Why do you keep calling me out?
Wait a little more.
I'm working hard making twisted doughnuts now.
But I'm not making a lot of money from that.
What is this? Is it an agreement?
(DNA Parentage Test Report)
DNA test? My goodness.
Are you my son?
I don't have an abandoned son.
I'm the dad.
Are you my dad?
Not your dad. Ttu Gi's dad.
Ttu Gi?
What are you talking about?
Are you Ttu Gi's dad?
That can't be right.
(This test proves Byun Gong Chae's paternity by 99.9 percent.)
That's what it says.
It's 99.999 percent.
How is it even possible?
I never thought it was you.
I can't believe this.
How could you not remember your kid's dad?
I was a mess back then.
I found out about my pregnancy in the fifth month.
I never imagined that you'd be the dad.
I even forgot about what happened between us.
I don't deserve to be a mom.
I know I'm crazy.
Anyway, I appreciate that you've raised Ttu Gi so far.
I will raise her from now on.
What?
I can't leave her with you anymore.
You made that little thing go through a lot.
You even sent her to orphanages.
She said she's never gotten a birthday cake before.
The dad and daughter are from the same orphanage.
Can you believe that?
You just went to prison without knowing who the dad was.
I can't let you raise my kid.
Don't be ridiculous.
I know that I don't deserve to be her mom,
but Ttu Gi is my daughter.
And she's my daughter too.
You didn't even know about her. You have no right to take her.
That's what breaks my heart.
I feel horrible that I didn't know about her for the past seven years.
I don't deserve to be her dad either,
but now that I know about her, I can't let this slide.
I thought she felt special to me.
I'll raise her myself.
I'll take legal action to take her if I have to.
Wait.
You can't just leave like this.
I just find out, so you should give me some time to think.
You can't just take the law into this.
And this is just between you and me.
Don't tell Ttu Gi.
Why not? Ttu Gi likes me.
Just think about that.
She can't have such a complicated story about her birth.
Ttu Gi must be devastated.
She's only 7, but she's as mature as a 17-year-old girl.
You know that.
What would she think of her mom?
Do you even worry about that?
What kind of wreck doesn't know her kid's dad?
She doesn't need a mom like you.
I'll take legal action to take my daughter back.
Is something wrong?
Hey, Gong Chae.
- Yes? - What is it?
Sa Chae.
Imagine a woman suddenly shows up with a kid...
and tells you that you're the dad. How could you feel?
It sounds like a mystery, thriller, romance, and comedy drama.
It's not a comedy though.
I should do the DNA test first.
And what if the test says you're the dad?
My gosh. That's complicated.
Whose story is that? Is it a drama?
Hey.
What's wrong with him?
What? Is something wrong?
Bong Ja. Should I go to China?
What are you talking about?
You can't go on an overseas trip before the pandemic ends.
Not on a trip. To live there.
To live there?
Why would you live in China? You don't know anyone there.
Things are not getting better here.
I want to start over with Ttu Gi in a new place.
How could you live there when you can't speak Chinese?
I can learn there.
All I need to know is Mr. Lee and Mr. Shin.
What can you do when you have no one to count on there?
I do know one person.
Who is it? Is it a guy again?
Did some guy ask you to move to China with him?
Now you even want to move to another country just for a guy?
It's not like that.
Just get a grip.
You can't live with a random guy when you have a daughter.
How would you go to China when you don't speak Chinese?
How would you make a living by saying Mr. Lee and Mr. Shin?
Stop being silly and just go to sleep.
The samgyetang is selling pretty well.
And the almighty seasoning is quite popular.
The first contract isn't favorable to you, so the money isn't that big,
but we will make things better when we renew the contract.
Thank you.
Well...
I'm sorry about that day.
Was it something important?
I was going to tell you that day.
I had a boyfriend whom I was going to marry,
but we had to break up for some unavoidable reasons.
It's not that we stopped loving each other,
so I had feelings for him.
I'm sorry that you confessed your feelings when I wasn't over him.
I'm sorry that I made it happen.
You didn't do anything about that.
I just made my way towards you without blinkers.
I'm sorry.
I think...
I should be with him.
I don't know who he is, but I feel envious.
It won't be easy for me to change my mind now.
I'll try my best though.
And this is about business, so let's just do what we were doing.
Mom, stay in the room with Blessing while we clean up the house.
I cleaned the bedroom already.
Okay.
Since I can't stand the sight of this, that would be better.
We're almost done.
I'm so furious whenever I see her.
She's just annoying.
But I hate my son more than her.
My gosh.
- Let me take this down. - What?
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
I should've taken it down sooner. I didn't think of it.
It's okay. Leave it up.
It has you and Blessing.
If I didn't think of it, you could've told me.
I'm this simple and silly.
It's okay.
Leave it up so Blessing can see.
I'm not okay with it.
Are you done?
Yes. Isn't it nice and clean?
Let's order food today. What do you want?
Whose turn is it to cook today?
If it's yours, we'll order food.
If it's her, we'll cook.
Mom, seriously?
All that cleaning was hard on her too.
What happened to the wall? Where are all the photos?
Who took them down? Was it her?
It was me.
Why did you take them down? They're photos of Blessing's mom.
She is Blessing's mom now.
How is she Blessing's mom?
Blessing's mom is the woman who gave birth to him.
Put them back up.
I'll deal with it.
Why? Did she ask you to take them down?
Was she offended?
She told me not to take them down.
And she was grateful to have a place to come back to.
You and I were inconsiderate.
We should've taken them down before she moved in.
Did you tell him to take down the photo?
I said I took it down.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I'll scold some sense into Byun Ho.
What are you doing?
You'll scold him?
How dare you say that in front of me?
We need to talk.
Do you think you're Blessing's mom?
I'm not his birth mom,
but I want to be his mom.
As if.
You, raise a child?
You never even raised your own.
Do you think you can raise someone else's child like your own?
I'll brand my hand if you don't give up and move in three months.
Mother. I'm 43 years old.
I know how the world works.
Why do you think I got back with Byun Ho?
It's to be happy.
You keep bringing up my 15-year marriage.
My heart breaks whenever I hear it.
Do you think I don't have regrets?
I'm ashamed and embarrassed that I lived so mindlessly.
I will raise Blessing as best I can.
I couldn't do that if I didn't want to,
but I really do adore Blessing like he's mine.
I don't even like kids,
but oddly enough, I like Blessing.
Don't scorn me at every turn and watch and let me change.
You speak eloquently,
but are you trying to get pregnant?
- What? - You cannot.
You said you'd raise Blessing as best you can.
If you have a child of your own, won't you discriminate Blessing?
Lots of parents discriminate between their own kids.
Lots of parents...
break their kids' hearts because they showed favor.
See the news.
Moms do all sorts of things to their kids.
Am I being nasty? I know what you're like.
I cannot let my Blessing suffer under a stepmom.
I will watch very carefully.
To be honest, I liked Blessing's dead mom more.
You were married for 15 years, and I only saw you 10 times.
This apartment was hers.
Be grateful you have a home.
I plan to host her memorial every year too.
Okay, Mother.
(The almighty seasoning is available.)
He left this morning?
He said he'd board a deep-sea fishing vessel.
I couldn't stop him.
(The Fisheries Cooperative)
- Hello. - How can I help?
Did any deep-sea fishing vessels leave today?
Not from here.
Okay, then. Thank you.
The receiver cannot be reached.
("Okay, Okay" by Han Ye Seul)
("Okay, Okay," Han Ye Seul's first album)
Yang Dae Chang, it's me.
(Yang Dae Chang)
Why are you so hard to reach?
Turn on the radio.
Today's new singer is Han Ye Seul.
He's a male singer.
He played rock music when young...
and slowly built up his skills as a singer.
He decided to release a trot album.
Please show him your support.
Before we hear the song, I'll share some sad news.
Han Ye Seul was recently in a serious car accident,
and he's currently working hard in rehab.
I hope he gets better soon so we can hear him sing in person.
I'll have him over one day.
Let's hear the sing.
You fool. You did it.
Well done, son.
Dad.
You did it.
You're a real singer now.
Ye Seul, you're all over the news.
The radio station's getting calls.
Can I book you?
Thank you, Dae Chang.
Yes. You worked really hard.
I'll buy you lots of tripe.
It wasn't me. Producer Lee Jin Seo...
saw you struggling to hand out flyers in the street.
You gave Ye Seul hope.
Thank you, Dad.
As long as you live.
Ye Seul, can you shave first, please?
What is this mess?
Yes. Buy a new outfit too.
Okay, okay, it's okay
What's going on?
I thought you left on a deep-sea fishing vessel.
I did get on a vessel, but one that would take me back to you.
My song was played on the radio today.
I hear people are going wild for it.
My gosh.
Do you know who I first thought of?
Number One, Lee Gwang Sik.
The one who helped me dream again.
I'm going to get back on my feet...
and tread forward so that my dreams come true.
I have no idea who's in your life right now,
but here I go.
Gwang Sik,
if I have you by my side,
there's nothing I won't be able to do.
Even if I'm not able to walk on my own,
I will be able to take a few steps and even fly...
if I have you by my side.
I'm only a speck of dust right now, but I'll try my best to be a star.
Would I...
be enough for you?
You'll be a star no matter what.
I'll be your number one fan.
Isn't that the guy who lived in unit 301?
This is just wrong.
(Revolutionary Sisters)
You can see its eyes, nose, and mouth?
All I see is a dot.
So when should the wedding be?
- Yes! - Nice!
Maybe Santa came by early.
It's from your dad.
My dad came by?
My Ttu Gi, could I hold you?
I'm Han Ye Seul.
- And your parents? - Both passed away a long time ago.
We cleaned up your room as well.
Thank you for this.
Hold on. Where is it?
- Where's what? - The teddy bear!
