(Episode 38)
Leave us. You too, Bong Ja.
I'll be at the door.
Was it you?
Was it you all along?
Did I eat...
and goof around with my attacker?
You, who took a beating from my creditors for me...
and injured his arm in the process?
I'm sorry.
I'm terribly sorry.
Do you have any idea how dumbfounded I am?
I do,
so do as you wish until your anger subsides.
I'd rather you just kill me.
Did you even think about me?
Were you sorry for what you did?
I went on with my life justifying my actions.
But whenever I hit a roadblock in life,
memories of that incident struck me like lightning.
I knew I was being punished for what I did.
If only I had paid for my actions back then.
My mom only said this one thing.
"Boys will be boys."
Because she cleaned up for my mess,
I'd go around causing trouble.
I feel relieved to have gotten caught.
Ever since I got wind you were looking for me,
I haven't been able to properly eat or sleep.
I was too scared of the consequences.
Is that why you were fleeing to China?
To avoid punishment yet again?
Of course not.
It wasn't the punishment I was scared of.
What scared me was facing the person I had hurt.
Talk about a messed up situation.
I'm sorry.
I'm truly sorry.
Don't bother to forgive someone like me.
No one would look for me if I dropped dead anyway.
So do as you wish until your anger washes away.
Taeng Ja, don't do anything.
Consider Ttu Gi and let me act on your behalf.
I'd want nothing else to end it right here,
but I have a daughter to consider.
I won't get blood on my hands,
so get up.
Lead the way.
You'll finally receive your punishment.
(Dongseo Police Station)
I'm sorry to say this,
but this took place in 1980 which was 41 years ago.
A special act was established in 1994,
but the statute of limitations has run out on this case.
It's only ten years, you see.
How is that fair?
Who came up with the statute of limitations anyway?
My sister hasn't forgiven him,
so who dares to have forgiven him on her behalf?
The law should be on the victim's side.
Who is the law supposed to protect? Who says that he can be forgiven?
Detective,
put me behind bars.
She should see justice.
Just arrest me on any charge you like.
I'll take any punishment that comes my way.
I truly am sorry for this.
Is there nothing we can do then?
At this moment, I'm afraid so.
Taeng Ja!
My gosh. What is this?
What's going on?
You dirtbag.
Being a loan shark doesn't give you the right to cause such harm.
You must've been quite a nuisance for her to collapse like this.
This is just wrong!
Cheol Soo, please don't.
People like him should be taught a lesson.
Even people without money have dignity.
Cheol Soo, stop it!
What's gotten into you? He should know his place.
Didn't she borrow money from a loan shark?
No, that's not it.
He's Ttu Gi's biological father.
What?
As if that makes any sense!
You said the father is the head chef at the jjimdak place.
And he's that head chef.
Gong Chae, thank you for today.
But he's still just a kid.
Actually, he's a grown man.
This is just wrong.
Why did she collapse then?
You don't need to know.
Oatmeal.
Let's go. Come on.
My gosh!
Blessing, are you all right?
Why? What is it?
Why are you so careless?
He could've been hurt. Doors injure kids badly!
Blessing should be fine.
You had me startled.
I bet that was scary. Are you all right?
Yes, you're good. Of course you are.
That's it. You're fine.
(Orthopedist)
You seem to have a strained tendon,
so take it easy for the time being.
Mother, I'm about to head home.
Should I pick something up to eat? What would you like?
You're on your own for lunch today. We're here to see Blessing's mom.
At the charnel house?
Byun Ho too?
Of course.
Gwang Nam?
Are you off somewhere?
To bring Ye Seul some snacks since he's rehearsing.
Why?
I was hoping to have lunch with you.
I'm sorry, but not today.
Hey, honey.
I was just heading out. Sure thing.
I'll get going then.
All right. Do you miss me that much?
I'll be there in a flash.
(A Spoonful of Moonlight)
What are you up to?
I'm sorry, Gwang Nam, but I'm a little busy.
Can I call you back later?
But Gwang Tae...
- Blessing, we're here. - We're here.
We're home.
Do you want to go to Dad?
- Go to Dad. - All right.
- "Grandma." - "Thanks, Dad."
You're alone in your life where you slap and encourage yourself.
Even your spouse is a stranger after all.
It's all blue again.
I just hate blue so much.
Look. She's buying up the whole department store again.
That's what she does every day.
I told you not to bother.
What if she will throw away all of your fortunes?
I can't take this anymore.
Hey. Sa Chae!
He's showing excessive loyalty to me.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Hello?
Where are you, Gwang Nam?
I feel bad that I left you behind earlier.
Where are you?
Oh, no. How are your shoulders?
The doctor said I have a strained tendon.
I felt down, so I went to see you, but you went straight to Ye Seul.
I don't know what Gwang Tae was doing, but she was too busy to talk.
I had nowhere else to go.
You should've met your friends.
I don't see my old friends anymore.
When they just go golfing, travel around,
and visit fancy restaurants, how can I hang out with them?
That's what all my friends are doing.
Or they are just busy raising their babies.
You know I didn't want to have kids.
I don't want to explain how I ended up raising Blessing.
I heard some of them even gloat over my situation.
There are people who like to speak ill of others.
Don't mind them.
Why did you not go to Auntie?
She's sharp-witted. I didn't want her to see me like this.
And if Dad saw me, he would've been worried.
Now that you guys are married, I feel lost and lonely.
It's not like we left you alone and got married.
You were the first one to get married.
You left me and Gwang Tae when we were young.
I know.
I guess I was sitting here for about three hours.
A lot of people came and left.
They all looked happy, but I'm...
I used to come here a lot with Byun Ho.
I was happy back then.
It hasn't even been a month, but now...
I feel like I'm all alone in the world.
You're not alone.
See? We are wearing the same rings. Why do you think you're alone?
We're connected to each other.
Without telling me,
Byun Ho went to see Maria with Blessing and Mother.
He didn't tell you?
For no special occasion?
No.
I saw him get off the car with Mother and Blessing.
I felt left out.
And I feel like I'm just a nuisance to them.
You should tell Byun Ho that you're upset.
I can't.
I'm not sure...
if things will get better after I tell him.
He looks like a different person now.
In the past, he would come running and asked if I was okay.
But he cared only about Blessing...
and yelled at me. I just can't forget the look on his face.
I guess he was just flustered at the moment.
You're an adult, and Blessing is a little kid.
I know. I understand that.
This is what I chose, but I don't know why I'm feeling this way.
Auntie Taeng Ja said I'm not even number four.
She said I'm number eight or nine, and she was right about that.
Gwang Sik.
I'm not happy at all.
People say your second marriage takes more patience,
and now I know what that means.
I don't want to fail again.
I just need to be patient.
But I'm ashamed of myself.
And I can't help but cry over spilled milk.
Gwang Nam.
They say birds don't look back as they fly.
Who wouldn't have any regrets when they look back on their lives?
Stop thinking about that.
But why do I keep looking back as I fly?
Gwang Sik, you know what?
I'm taking pills again.
Hello, ma'am.
- Hello. - Hello, you're here again.
We meet a lot these days.
- Is everything all right? - Yes.
Go to sleep.
Look at you.
Are you in charge of food waste today?
Gosh, honey.
Now I've seen everything.
Oh, dear.
Are you happy to do all that?
It's my turn today.
Your turn, my foot.
I hate it when you say that.
We both are working, so I need to divide and conquer.
Otherwise, she will have hard times.
What's so hard for her? Your old mom is having hard times.
She just finishes her work and goes straight to her room.
"Mother, is there anything that I can help you with?"
Would it have killed her to say something like that?
I'm home, Mother.
Why are you home so late?
You should come early and help Mom.
Okay.
She said okay.
Is that all you can say?
Don't forget the past 15 years.
People don't change.
Don't come back ever again.
As soon as you come back, I'll be informed.
You can never come back to Korea until you die.
I know.
And make sure to stay out of my sight from this moment on.
I will never come back even after I die.
But, Gong Chae, let me ask you one thing.
Why do you care so much, anyway?
I guess that's because you're kind-hearted.
Taeng Ja is a pitiful lady.
You should help her if you can, okay?
She's having a hard time hiding from creditors.
Forget it and just go. Don't you dare to look back.
Thank you.
I will never forget your favor.
(Passenger Terminal)
He just left on a ship.
He said he'd never come back.
Thank you.
You should tell Taeng Ja yourself.
- All right then. - Gong Chae.
Aren't you going to ask after Taeng Ja?
How is she doing?
She's a wreck. She can't even eat.
She finally found him, but that doesn't make her feel better.
She's having a meltdown because he was her close friend.
She can't believe it and doesn't want to believe it.
Don't get rid of my number and stay in touch.
Think of me as your sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law?
Anyway, it's right for us to treat each other as in-laws.
I should get going.
I wish they'd live together.
But that would be asking too much.
He said he would never come back and left. Eat.
Bong Ja.
I don't know why I feel this way.
I feel so empty and down.
Whenever life was hard, I blamed and resented him.
I thought he would be incredibly tall and scary looking.
But he's a scrawny man I could take out with one punch.
He looked like he paid the price already.
The rice cake store closed long ago,
and his whole family's poor.
I guess there is a deity after all.
I remember now.
We used to play together as kids.
He'd give me rice cakes,
and we'd sit by a wall and eat sunflower seeds.
For me,
he fought off my creditors and broke his arm doing so.
If it hadn't been for that,
we could've stayed neighbors and helped each other out.
No.
I hate Mom more than him.
If only Mom had taken my side,
made him kneel before me, and taken him to the police,
and if we'd moved right away,
then perhaps I'd have forgotten it all and moved on.
Mom told me to keep my mouth shut...
and his mom said boys are like that.
How could adults say that?
Don't forgive him if you don't want to.
You don't have to force yourself to forgive them.
Him and Mom.
Let your heart decide.
That's how you'll survive.
Ttu Gi's dad did you a huge favor.
He found the guy and made him kneel before you.
I wonder who she took after that she's so smart.
It must be her dad.
I'm cold and indifferent?
Yes. Didn't you know Gwang Nam hurt her shoulder?
Her shoulder? She hurt it? When?
The day you two went shopping with Blessing.
What?
It can't be.
When did that happen?
She pushed Blessing through first to make sure he was safe...
and the door shut on her shoulder.
She saw a doctor and got bandaged and you didn't know?
She hurt a tendon.
You went to see Blessing's Mom in secret?
Not in secret. It was for Blessing.
My mom had a weird dream and suddenly wanted to visit.
It was a short trip. We weren't gone for long.
You should've told Gwang Nam you'd be going.
Did she complain?
It's not because she complained.
Anyone would feel offended.
Put yourself in her shoes.
To be honest and objective, shouldn't you tiptoe around her?
Gwang Nam's self-esteem hit rock bottom.
You should look out for her and care for her.
She doesn't see any friends.
She used to be a DINK and now she has Blessing.
What would her friends say about her?
Who do you think she does this for when it's not her style?
It's all for you.
For your sake. Because she loves you.
If I must be brutal,
who would love a child that was born out of an affair?
Don't you see how Gwang Nam feels?
She's taking her medication again.
What?
- Press this button. - Okay.
Call me if you need anything.
Okay.
What are you doing here?
Can you spare some time?
What is this about?
I just got chewed out by my sister-in-law.
Gwang Sik?
Why didn't you tell me?
You hurt your shoulder. Let me see.
Not here. It's fine.
I just have to be a little careful.
You should've told me you were hurt.
Why make me look bad?
I was a little upset.
I wished you'd at least ask if I were okay.
About visiting the columbarium.
It was a sudden trip. I had no time to tell you.
Mom suddenly wanted to go.
I'm sorry.
From now on, tell me beforehand.
You visiting the columbarium doesn't upset me at all.
The fact that I didn't know does.
I can make no excuse.
I rushed over as soon as I heard from Gwang Sik.
I'll be more thoughtful and considerate.
Also, don't make me hear things from your sisters.
Can't you talk to me in person?
I'm your husband.
I was for 16 years and now you're acting differently?
Don't make me look bad to your sisters.
Okay.
But if this happens again, it won't end with Gwang Sik.
I'll summon Gwang Tae and her fighting skills.
Gosh, no.
Please, not Gwang Tae.
I'm so bored. I'm sick of liking every post.
You startled me.
What's up?
I missed you. What were you doing?
I slept all day.
I haven't had to think or do anything all day long...
for the first time in my life.
I sometimes jump up thinking...
I should be out making money.
Do you mind?
As if. I'm so happy.
I'm free of the stress of having to rush to work...
as soon as I wake up. How great is that?
The thing is, my body was built for work.
All this eating and sleeping...
is getting boring and I want to move.
Shall I go to the gym?
No. If Sa Chae finds out...
That'll be our common fate.
I can go in secret.
- In secret? - Yes.
Harder.
One.
Two, go. One.
- Guys. - Hey.
- Gwang Tae. - Pizza!
- What is all this? - It's pizza!
Thanks so much. This is great.
It looks so good.
Gwang Tae, didn't you marry way out of your league?
A bit.
Let's eat and then burn some calories.
Okay, deal.
Tap.
What's up?
I looked for you everywhere.
- What for? - You know why.
You weren't at the internet cafe, so I came by here.
You look like you had a workout.
Your hair looks a bit wet.
What are you implying? I washed my hair at home.
I can't hurt my baby.
I owe the guys a lot, so I brought them some food.
Are you tailing me?
It's for the chairman's sake. I have no choice.
No, don't you call him.
Honey. Guess what?
I told you not to. Darn it.
How could you? Why would you follow her?
People don't change overnight.
If Gwang Tae changes, I'll change my family name.
I have a feeling.
As if you do.
And I call you a friend.
Don't call her Gwang Tae. It's Ms. Gwang Tae to you.
I know her better than you. I've known her for ten years.
I met her when I still had acne on my forehead.
You only met her a year ago.
Don't belittle my gut instinct.
"Ms. Gwang Tae?"
Darn you.
Why do you need 10,000 dollars?
I need it for a reason, sir.
I can't ask questions?
Sorry, sir.
Does your brother know?
No, sir.
Oh, dear.
I'm giving it to you because I trust you.
Thank you, sir.
Sure.
What's up with my brother?
It's nothing.
I think something's bothering him.
But he won't say what.
He will when it's time.
Right.
It's exactly 10,000 dollars.
Who are you that you're paying off Taeng Ja's debt?
Are you her son?
Then are you...
her toy boy?
Taeng Ja's not that crazy.
She's your mother, isn't she?
Whether she's my mom or lover,
I paid off her debt, so let's go and drop the lawsuit.
Okay.
Check what's outside.
Think about what's best for Ttu Gi and eat.
I met with your creditors and paid off your debt.
You're no longer wanted by them.
Wife, can I ask for a favor?
My dad should be out of eggs, tofu, and broth meat by now.
Could you get him some?
Okay. Thanks, my wife.
Gwang Nam.
Did you shop for groceries?
Yes, to drop off at my father-in-law's.
Stay for a cup of coffee.
Aren't you busy?
I have some time on my hands.
Isn't the job demanding?
Every second of the day,
I'm reminded that it's hard to make a living.
I'd love to get dad one of these.
I think that too every time I come to work.
His current unit is too small for one.
I'd love to earn enough money to rent him a room with sunlight...
and buy one of these...
as well as a desk.
I want to find success as fast as possible too.
I'm more in a rush now that I'm married.
Don't stress yourself out like that.
I heard you gave Byun Ho an earful.
Did he say something?
He came by to beg for my forgiveness...
and say that I'm lucky to have a sibling.
Tell him to do better...
because I won't let him off easily next time.
I'll have Gwang Tae lead the way.
Don't you dare do that to my husband.
I see you're already back in his corner.
Say what you need to say to Byun Ho...
because he won't know if you don't.
Men aren't that quick-witted.
One's heart is truly unpredictable.
My anger washed away...
the moment he acknowledged how upset I was.
Come to me right away if Ye Seul hurts your feelings.
I'll teach him a lesson.
You know,
I'm actually worried.
Regarding what?
It isn't easy for me to stop by my father-in-law's...
to drop these groceries off and talk to him.
Spending time with him along with Ye Seul is fine,
but not when I'm alone.
Tears dropped from my eyes...
when I saw him see us off in the front yard.
If it weren't for me,
he would have had a good life with Aunt Bong Ja.
I feel more that way because he's all alone.
Guilt sweeps over me every time.
I can understand why you feel that way.
Don't go in person and send the groceries by courier.
By courier?
Auntie.
Hey, you're here.
Is Aunt Taeng Ja sleeping?
Leave her be. She doesn't feel well today.
What's that?
Clothes for you two.
This is for you...
and this is for Aunt Taeng Ja.
I'm not allowed to work part-time, so I went shopping instead.
That's what I have fun doing these days.
Shopping at the store I used to work at.
You must be having fun spending all that money.
You have no idea!
What if they kick you out at this rate?
Don't you worry and stay put.
Right. Being pregnant is when...
acting like a queen can be justified.
That child is your crown.
Absolutely.
This is pretty.
- Hey, Dad. - Hey.
Is the samgyetang being enjoyed by the customers?
Yes.
There may be those who haven't tried it,
but those who have come back for more.
What?
You must mean it's selling well.
You were right to add the mushrooms.
Word has spread that it's tasty...
and I'm working with the company to release it under my name.
By then, you'll be able to get your ten-percent cut.
Good for you.
Anyway, it's about Gwang Tae.
I'm worried since she's carrying a child.
It won't be easy to live with four grown men.
She has always had many male friends.
Her fellow martial arts athletes are mostly men too.
It's not the same thing though.
Brothers-in-law can be more difficult...
than parents-in-law.
Don't you worry.
That girl can survive no matter where she is.
She isn't like Gwang Nam, remember?
Come to think of it,
the three of us are alike but also very different.
As if. You three are the same in my eyes.
Anyway, I should stop by to see her.
Pregnancies bring on odd cravings, so can you make her something?
I'd like to take it to her.
Her in-laws are rich enough to order her anything.
You can buy anything these days.
It's not about the money.
I'm worried since she's pregnant.
I'm sure she has it covered.
Marriage has changed you.
Sorry?
How can you be so cold when you're her sister?
Your young sister is with a child at the moment,
so you should be offering to make delicious food for her.
This isn't how siblings should be.
Do you not care now that she's married?
That's just wrong.
What is it?
Dad left just now to see you.
I just got off the phone and I'm off to see him.
You're making things hard for me, you know.
You're letting yourself be cared for as if you're actually pregnant.
Don't you let him find out for that'll cause mayhem.
So when will you get pregnant?
We've been at it day and night.
You're killing me.
And call Gwang Nam often too.
Don't be a stranger now that you're married.
I hear you, okay?
You're like the mother-in-law I don't have. You know that? Bye!
Dad!
Goodness, Gwang Tae.
You shouldn't be running.
Oh, right.
I keep forgetting since there is still no baby bump.
- Dad. - Yes?
I used to see you at home every day,
but now, seeing you on the street like this...
makes me realize how much I've missed you.
I feel the same way.
Have you been well?
Are you feeling all right?
Yes, I'm good.
You're still only a kid yourself.
Anyway, ask your baby what it wants to eat.
It'll be on me today.
Kiddo, your grandpa wants to know what you're craving.
"Meat. I want meat!"
Is that what the baby wants?
Then, let's go.
Grandpa will treat you to some barbecue.
- Welcome. - How have you been?
It's been a while.
See that? I'm buying today.
But you don't own a credit card.
Wait. Did I not mention that I'm married?
Someone actually married you?
Just bring us the meat.
Special cuts of Korean beef, please.
I'm happy to know you're living a good life.
Truth be told, you worried me more than your sisters.
But you're the one I now worry less about.
When you treated me to grilled meat here,
you called me a diamond in the rough.
You have no idea how much it meant...
to have earned your recognition.
Funnily enough, things have started to go my way since then.
Dad, call me whenever you want to eat grilled meat.
I'll always treat you to some.
My youngest sure is the best!
Dad, open wide.
- Ah. - Here.
Is it good?
Can I get another bottle of soju?
What are you up to?
What's going on?
I smell beef.
You and your sense of smell.
My clothes must smell of it.
I can't believe you went to eat beef alone.
It's why I bought some for you to have.
What's this though? Why are you hammering these?
What's good about lying around?
But your vision isn't up to par and this doesn't pay well.
It's not just about the money. It helps to kill time.
Time flies when I'm hammering in these eyes.
I doubt the beef is for free,
so tell me what you want.
I can never fool you, can I?
Anyway, I was hoping you could persuade...
Gwang Tae's brother-in-law.
You want me to go after a man?
Forget it.
I may be lonely, but not that lonely.
You're always one to tell jokes without batting an eye...
despite it not being funny.
I don't know why, but your jokes are never funny.
Only mine are.
Lucky you.
Anyway, it's about my Gwang Tae. Who in this day and age...
lives with a brother-in-law? Especially one who isn't married.
It doesn't feel right to tell him this...
when he's decades my junior,
so could you perhaps give him a nudge?
Suggest that he should let Gwang Tae move out.
They should move out?
Yes. It must be uncomfortable to live with your sister-in-law.
Not at all.
I'm at the office all day and only head home when it's dark.
And Gong Chae's the one who makes breakfast.
How can she be uncomfortable when she's lounging around at home?
It's not the same though.
I was going to have them move out once the baby's born.
The stress of living with you might transfer to the baby.
How can she not be on alert when she's living with four men?
The stress is real, you know.
Ask around if you want.
Sa Chae, look for a clean apartment unit for them.
Sorry?
- Welcome home, Pung Jin. - Hi.
I invited a guest over,
so why don't we order something delicious to eat today?
Whose idea is this?
Mine.
My young sister-in-law didn't know better.
Please leave.
Please don't be mad at Ms. Min.
I asked her here.
Who are you to meddle in my business?
Just because I'm nice to you...
doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
I came here on my own accord because I wanted to.
I thought you were better than this.
Now, leave.
How can you be so harsh?
This wasn't easy to set up.
She was brave enough to come here and doesn't deserve your rudeness.
Leave this instant!
Deul Re!
That was cruel, you know.
Don't stick your nose in where it doesn't belong.
This is my personal life.
Your personal life?
You sure are a loser.
- Hey... - Who does this stubbornness help?
Don't be all high and mighty...
when you can't even handle the woman you like.
You're not even half the man your brother is.
Just look at Ki Jin. One is supposed to fight for love.
Sa Chae.
Yes, sir. Why you...
Ouch.
How is that love?
Love isn't something you keep bottle up inside to rot.
Only cowards and losers break up in the name of love.
Can't you see that she's crying?
A true man never makes a fragile woman cry!
- Sa Chae! - Yes, sir.
Darn it.
- Let me talk, darn it! - I know your pattern now.
Why must she live like this?
You're no hot-shot, so stop acting like you are.
All she's guilty of is getting to know you and loving you.
You have no right to be loved.
You don't deserve her love at all.
Must you punch him in the guts like that?
Your words were like bullets!
You and your violent ways.
Sir!
Darn it.
What now? Was I wrong to do this?
No, you did well.
No one has ever told him that, you see.
Oh, no.
It's all right.
Hey, did you find him?
I searched every local bar, but couldn't find him.
You should've given him a heads-up.
Can you imagine how startled he was?
He's been trying hard to stay away from her.
Every time he drinks, he makes me take his phone...
just so that he wouldn't drunk dial her.
Then he makes me stand guard...
just in case he seeks her out.
That's how hard he's fighting this,
so did you have to wreak havoc?
I thought they could reconnect over a meal.
Well, it's not that simple.
It's about time someone gave Pung Jin a reality check.
I can't believe I did this to Ms. Min.
I dragged her here when she didn't want to come.
- What did she say? - All she did was cry.
I just took her home.
Oh, no.
I drank all night,
but couldn't get drunk.
I came here to tell you this.
I'm sorry.
I thought that cutting you out of my life...
was the only way to protect you.
Being uneducated and inexperienced with love...
had me flailing for the right answer.
I had no one to ask for advice,
so I figured...
that cutting you out of my life...
was how you could be happy.
It ended up with me getting a punch in the gut.
Some odd girl disrupted the ways of my family...
and stirred up my heart.
It was a wake-up call though.
Why on earth am I wired this way?
What about me is there to like?
You fool.
If only I had changed my way of thinking.
This isn't the right time though.
I'll become a man that your parents will approve of.
I'll make it happen.
Hey, Deul Re.
Could you wait for me?
My name may suggest otherwise, but I, Heo Pung Jin,
never bluff.
I'll give it my all.
Bye.
Oh, right.
I picked it up on the street last night.
I'll get going then.
Are they looking for an apartment?
I guess they will move out soon.
Thank you, Dol Se.
I'll buy you a drink with some beef.
(Shining under Starlight)
You mean Shining under Starlight?
The units there are clean and spacious.
Actually, there's one room available.
Could I take a look at a room?
Sure. Please wait a second.
Ms. Oh, we have a client who wants to visit. Are you in the market?
Okay. We'll be right there.
Let's go.
Bong Ja, are you in there?
Gosh.
It's so hot.
My gosh. It feels so cool.
Gosh, it's really cool.
My goodness.
Oh, dear.
All right.
Who was that?
The building owner's brother-in-law. He lives here without his wife.
I'll take this.
You didn't even see the room yet.
Studio apartments are pretty much the same.
I'm home, Mother.
Where's Blessing?
He just fell asleep.
Mother, come here.
- What? - Have a seat.
Mother, take a look at this.
What do you think?
Is this for me?
Yes. Try it on.
It looks pretty.
I wasn't expecting anything like this from you.
I thought I needed something like this.
It's nice, isn't it?
Mother, you look great in it.
Actually, you look nice in everything.
I know I can pull off anything.
I guess it cost you a lot.
No, it was on sale. They offered a 40 percent discount.
On sale?
You mean you bought the one lying on the shelf?
What?
You know new products are hanging on the rack.
And old ones are lying on the shelf.
Actually, this one was also hanging on the rack.
This is why I hate you.
Even when I tried to buy something lying on the shelf,
Maria said, "I'm making money to spend."
"I'll buy you the new ones hanging on the rack."
That's what she did.
She had a different mindset from you.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I should've given it more thought.
I'll buy you only new products from now on.
I really want to get along with you.
If you want to get along with me, you should try harder.
What's going on? What's wrong, Mother?
How frustrating is this?
Maria always got me new products,
but she just buys me things from the previous season on sale.
That means she looks down on me.
Stop comparing her to Maria. Don't you know it can hurt her feelings?
What?
Stop it.
Go to your room. I'm talking to Mother now.
Look at you. You come at your mom to take your wife's side.
There's no use raising a son.
Oh, dear. Honey.
Mother. I don't mind even if you compare me to Maria.
I know I'm not good enough.
Even though she took my husband from me, had a child with him,
and made me divorce him, I don't hate her.
She got me Blessing anyway.
I'm grateful to her.
But I don't know what to do for you to forget her...
and move on, so I feel really bad.
I'm not like her. I'm not good at cooking...
and housekeeping. And I'm not even caring.
I upset you for 15 years,
so you can do whatever you want for the next 15 years...
if it makes you feel better.
Would that work?
And you will regret it if you don't take this.
If you go out in this, people will love it.
I have a good eye for fashion.
My aunts and sisters always ask me to pick clothes for them.
If you don't take this, I'll wear it.
Are you sure you don't want this?
This is popular these days.
Maybe I should wear it then.
It doesn't look good on you.
A phantom pregnancy?
Yes.
I guess Ms. Lee wanted to have a baby so badly.
I think she really wants a baby.
What? We're out of bellflower root tea.
Dad said he will make some.
Oh, right. He said he got the groceries you've sent.
I see.
Were you busy?
Yes. I had to go to the meal kit company, so I sent it by courier.
I guess he wanted to see you though.
We can visit him together soon.
Can you not work part-time before the audition?
I just work only a few hours at night.
I'll make sure it won't interfere with the practice.
I should get going.
Good luck today.
You know what? I'm so happy that I have someone...
who cheers for me when I go out into the world.
I used to go out and come home alone.
Those who live alone will never know what it feels like.
I don't want to go out.
Then don't go and hang out with me.
Are you serious?
Are you crazy? Go out and make money.
I'm envious of those who live alone.
Go.
Who are you? Hey!
Are you sure?
I think I saw him in front of the building before.
But I'm not sure.
No way.
I bet you were mistaken.
What if it's really him?
Where are you going?
To see Ttu Gi's dad. I should send Ttu Gi to him.
What about you?
Can you live without Ttu Gi?
I was trying to live with Ttu Gi for my sake.
To make me feel better. Because I can't live without her.
I guess I can't blame my mom. I'm the bad mom.
This is the right thing to do for Ttu Gi's future.
When Ttu Gi is still young, I should send her to her dad...
and make her grow attached to him.
If you were young, I would've told you to raise her yourself.
But you'll turn 60 in a few years.
That doesn't seem like what you can do.
Taeng Ja, you don't have to send her away.
Can't you live with Gong Chae?
Don't be ridiculous.
You spent a night with him and had a child together.
Age doesn't matter.
Don't be absurd.
You think age doesn't matter?
I have no sense of shame, but I know I can't do that.
If you were his mom, would you let him live with me?
I wouldn't. I'll try to stop him no matter what.
I'm just saying this because I feel bad for you.
I have a son myself,
and I can never let him live with an old woman like me.
And he will freak out.
He did freak out when I sounded him out.
Why would you sound him out?
This is crazy.
He'll think we're both crazy.
I'm okay with us being called crazy,
but what will you tell Ttu Gi?
Will she go with him?
I must make her.
Are you feeling better? Did you eat the food I left?
Thanks. I enjoyed the food.
You repaid my debt too.
I don't know what to say.
How would Ttu Gi feel knowing her mom's a wanted criminal?
I know you did it for her sake.
I asked to see you to confirm something.
If you take Ttu Gi, how will you raise her?
Do you have a plan?
First, I'll find a home...
and live with Ttu Gi and my brother.
I think we can raise her together.
My brother was great...
with the younger kids growing up in the orphanage.
She starts school next year, so she needs to be registered.
She'll need a new name, then.
Oh Ttu Gi sounds okay, but not Byun Ttu Gi.
That sounds like "grasshopper." Kids will tease her.
Think of a nice new name.
I looked up a few extra-curricular classes.
If it's something she likes, I'll let her learn anything.
The chairman said he'll help us move out,
so we won't lack much.
Okay. That's fine, then.
I heard my sister said something weird.
It's not what I want, so forget about it.
What about marriage? You should marry.
It'll be just Ttu Gi and me.
That doesn't make sense.
A young man can't live alone.
Promise me something.
Even if you marry, make sure that Ttu Gi...
doesn't suffer or feel sad about it.
My poor Ttu Gi...
doesn't deserve that.
So promise.
I promise it won't happen.
You can take her...
this weekend.
Thank you.
I'll raise her well.
Hello.
Hello. What brings you here out of the blue?
I got some fresh fish,
and I thought of you, so I brought some.
None of us like fish that much.
Where's Blessing?
He just fell asleep.
It's hard raising him, isn't it?
Why bother to ask? The answer's obvious, isn't it?
You're a bit upset that Gwang Nam's not a great housekeeper, right?
Not just a little. She's a very bad housekeeper.
She was a spoiled child growing up.
My son wasn't, and that's why he does the chores.
I don't have bad feelings for you,
but when I think of your niece, I hate her whole family.
We're in-laws again now.
Goodbye, then, Ms. Ji.
What is this?
That's Blessing's mom.
You never met her?
Why is that photo still up there?
Where else should it be, then?
This is nonsense.
Gwang Nam lives here now.
You can keep it in a photo album.
Do you have to hang it up there?
This isn't right.
How dare you talk about right and wrong? My son's a lawyer.
Stop commenting about how we do things here and leave.
What a joke.
What did you say? I'm a joke?
It's been a while since I've been at a restaurant.
What's the occasion?
Why treat me when I didn't do anything nice?
You did lots of nice things.
Gwang Nam.
Quit your job.
Why?
It's too hard on you.
I want to work. I'm enjoying it so much.
If I stay at home, I'll only clash with your mom.
I wonder how I'd have managed if I didn't work.
Is it about the housework?
I won't put you on duty. I'll do more.
It's not about my duties.
I want you to look after your health.
Let's have a baby.
A baby?
Since we first got married, I wondered how nice...
it would be to have a baby with you.
I want to see what it would look like.
We can't afford it.
Our debts are almost all paid off.
I'm a lawyer. Do you think I can't support two kids?
Let's have a baby.
I'm too old for that.
It's too late now.
We'll be 70 by the time the kid graduates college.
People age slower now and 70 isn't that old.
Lots of people around me are having kids later in life.
Byun Ho, you know...
Blessing's enough for me.
I want to be Blessing's mom.
What? Her photo was on the wall?
My limbs trembled the moment I saw it.
I can't think how Gwang Nam feels seeing it every day.
She has nothing but pride.
I'm telling you because I thought you should know.
She's putting up with it because it's her second try.
She must be so upset but she can't talk to us about it.
She already looks like she's losing weight.
I should give Byun Ho a piece of my mind.
No, don't. I'll talk to him.
This isn't right.
I'm sorry, Father.
You're sorry?
Don't apologize to me. Beg to Gwang Nam.
How can you put up your ex-wife's photo?
You call yourself a human?
Blessing kept asking for his mom.
How dare you...
I'm sorry. I didn't think that through.
Gwang Nam must be so upset, knowing she can't get rid of it.
There was a reason she's getting so thin.
Why did you get back together with her?
Was it so you could tease her with a photo and torture her?
I'll say this now, but Gwang Nam's the legal wife.
She's your first legal wife.
I'm sorry, Father.
Is this how she's treated? That's terrible.
You're giving her a hard time. Let her go.
Pardon?
Would a second divorce be that much of a problem?
Split up with her.
Father.
Don't call me that. This is just wrong.
Oh?
Darn it.
What's up, Gwang Tae?
Dad.
- Is it just you? - Yes.
What if someone comes?
No one comes by at this hour.
It's the upstairs toilet.
Follow me.
My gosh. What a lovely place.
My youngest really got lucky.
- Ki Jin. - Hey.
I asked around.
A foundation director sounds like a good idea.
Are you sure? You're making the right call.
It sounds fancy. "Foundation Director Heo Pung Jin."
Don't forget it was Gwang Tae's idea.
Let's register your marriage.
Now?
Tell Gwang Tae to meet us by the office.
Pung Jin.
For real? Okay.
- Dad. - Yes?
My brother-in-law wants me to join them to register our marriage.
I think this will take a while.
I'll leave when it's done. You should go.
- Dad. I'm really sorry. - No.
She was here to spar?
Should a pregnant woman be doing this type of exercise?
Of course not. Not something this challenging.
Gwang Tae isn't pregnant.
Right? Yes, of course.
Lee Gwang Tae, you.
Hey. Where's the chairman?
He's not answering his phone.
He went with Ki Jin and Ms. Gwang Tae...
to register their marriage at the borough office.
What?
We're here to register our marriage.
Where are they?
Sir!
Wait. Just stop.
Not so fast.
Stop, please.
What on earth are you doing?
It's a lie. She's not pregnant, sir.
Pung Jin, I'm sorry.
It was my idea, so please forgive us this once.
I'm sorry, Pung Jin.
We just wanted to get married so badly, that's all.
How can you two lie about being pregnant?
We'll get pregnant in no time. We're trying the best we can.
Forget it.
Call your father immediately.
Sorry?
He said you should call your father.
(Father)
What on earth...
What? How are you here?
I came by to unclog the toilet.
I'm so sorry about this.
It's good that you're here.
Take your daughter with you.
Mr. Heo, please.
She was wrong to lie to you,
but it's wrong to kick out the woman your brother married.
Please take a deep breath and calm down a little before...
That is the only reason I agreed to this marriage.
This is a sham marriage.
My gosh.
Dad, I'm sorry. I know what I did is wrong.
Lee Gwang Tae.
Am I asked back in?
Here's what you called your dowry.
Unbelievable.
(Revolutionary Sisters)
What are you doing? Why are you taking it down?
You must be thrilled to see that we're clashing.
So much for a diamond in the rough. It turned out to be pebble instead.
Do you find this entertaining?
You always do when my kids get into trouble.
Gwang Tae is my savior.
She gave me the courage to approach you once again.
She's someone that suits your family well.
Ttu Gi, he's your dad.
You can call him your dad now.
I'm sorry, Ttu Gi.
