(Episode 41)
Is there proof that you're Gwang Tae's father?
Proof?
Some strange old man appears out of the blue...
claiming to be Gwang Tae's father.
Since this isn't some TV drama, you think it's nonsense.
It'd be wrong to believe me unconditionally,
so you want to see proof first.
That's right.
Proof that I'm Gwang Tae's father?
What's up?
Oh, it's nothing.
We'll speak some other time, Mr. Kim.
- Come on. - Hold on.
Are you Lee Gwang Tae?
Yes, but why do you ask?
We're a little busy.
It's good to meet you. I'm Mr. Kim.
He's someone I work with.
I see.
But...
how do you know who I am?
Oh, I told him.
We're a little busy,
so let's talk tomorrow at the office.
Let's head inside.
I have a bad feeling about him.
What do you mean?
Did you see the way he looked at me?
He has a tendency to stare at people.
I can't believe he pretended to know you though.
What kind of a partner is he?
He rents one of the offices,
and we're in the middle of discussing a project.
We should get going.
Right. We're almost ready.
Ttu Gi. Just remember not to call Gong Chae your father.
Got it. I'll call him by his name.
Welcome, everyone.
Let's go inside.
- Goodness. - My gosh.
I have no idea either.
- Dad! - Dad.
I see you all made it here early.
Hello, Father.
- Welcome, Mr. Lee. - Gosh.
Thank you for having us over.
You have such a lovely house.
How much does a property like this cost these days?
- Sorry? - Seriously?
Being a landlady myself, I'm curious about these things.
The table has been set upstairs, so let's head up there.
Go ahead.
This way.
Hold on. Where are Gwang Sik and Ye Seul?
I called, but they're a little busy today.
No matter how busy they are,
they should make it to a housewarming party.
Don't bother with them.
It's so typical of Dad to only care about Gwang Sik.
Didn't these two reconcile?
It's not like that. They did.
They'll get to it.
You're the younger sister, so apologize to her first.
If you do, Gwang Sik will apologize as well.
Goodness. What a feast.
Some dishes even seem foreign to me.
Cheol Soo, please enjoy.
May I have your attention, please? The chairman will speak.
I have some news to share with you before you eat.
Gwang Tae?
I hope everyone will congratulate me.
I'm pregnant.
- What? - My gosh.
Ta-da! I'm four weeks along.
It's for real this time.
Congratulations.
- Really? - That's great news.
Goodness.
Is it for real this time? I'm so proud of you, Gwang Tae.
My gosh. Look after yourself and don't run around so much.
You're now worth two people...
which only means you're in for a rough ride.
Congratulations. I'm jealous.
It's a honeymoon baby, isn't it? You did it on your first try.
There's no such thing as second attempts in my book.
Everything should be done on the first try.
It's why our baby's nickname is Hanbang.
Gwang Nam,
you should consider having a baby too.
Look how delighted Byun Ho is.
Enjoy your meal and have a good time today.
- Sure. - Thank you.
Please enjoy.
Enjoy.
- Enjoy. - Sure thing.
Ttu Gi, here you go.
Son-in-law Ki Jin, I'm outside the front gate.
We're not done talking.
What is it?
Oh, it's nothing.
Let's eat.
It's good.
Tell me about it.
All right.
Congratulations on the baby.
How does it feel? Are you over the moon?
I thought I would be thrilled, but it doesn't feel real yet.
You've never been pregnant before, so you wouldn't understand.
I have a friend who married young.
She got pregnant through IVF after five years of waiting.
When it was confirmed that she was pregnant,
she cried her eyes out.
I bet.
You're so lucky that you got pregnant when you wanted to.
Let's go. We should attend a family gathering.
No. I don't want to see that brat Gwang Tae.
Sometimes losing is winning. Just give in to Gwang Tae.
I'm busy.
You don't have to clean the fridge now.
You're doing this on purpose.
There will be lots of good food.
You can go alone.
Why would I go there alone?
It's Gwang Nam.
My gosh!
Gwang Tae is pregnant.
Pregnant? Really?
Yes. I guess it's a honeymoon baby.
I knew this would happen.
Now we have to go.
Will you please go for my sake? Come on!
I really don't want to go. I'm only doing this for you.
I know. Thank you, honey.
- We used a shovel to cook rice. - Really?
All men like to talk about their time in the military.
Sa Chae, where did you serve when you were in the military?
I was a marine.
Will you be careful?
It's okay, Ki Jin. It's my fault.
It's all right, Sa Chae. I'm fine.
Father, please try this.
- What is this? Shrimp? - Yes.
It looks so good.
Gong Chae.
Why did you serve shrimp soup first?
You were supposed to serve tangsuyuk first.
The dishes should be served in order.
I just served what was finished first.
Make sure not to make any mistakes. Today is a special day.
I'll take care of the kitchen.
What? Are you looking down on me because I can't cook?
Stop it. How could you talk to your senior like that?
He's not my senior.
Gong Chae may look old, but he's two years younger than me.
You don't even know, Auntie.
Aren't I right, Gong Chae?
Sure.
I don't know where to start to put things right.
What took you so long?
I had something to take care of.
Congratulations, Ki Jin. We heard about the baby.
Congratulations, Ki Jin.
It should've happened to you first.
- I'm sorry we beat you to it. - Nonsense.
Please come in.
This is my brother's house.
We're moving to an apartment.
An apartment?
Yes.
Follow me.
Come on in.
Honey.
I heard you're pregnant. Congratulations.
Thanks.
Sa Chae.
Gosh, you startled me.
- Who are you? - Well...
I'm looking for my son-in-law, Ki Jin.
Who are you and why do you want to talk to Ki Jin?
Get out. Let's talk outside.
What? That's...
Who is he?
Why is he looking for his son-in-law in here?
I'm not sure, sir.
Get out!
What are you doing? How dare you come in here?
If you keep doing this, I'll call the police.
Gosh.
You can call the police. I'm not afraid.
Ki Jin, let me talk to Gwang Tae.
Why are you being like this?
I'm going to call the police.
Go ahead and do it.
It's probably better that way.
Let's just get everything out in the open.
Let's talk tomorrow.
If you come in again, I won't let it slide.
Hey, Ki Jin. Where have you been?
Well, Father...
Someone just came by.
Did you enjoy the food?
I enjoyed it a lot.
I'm stuffed.
- Let's go upstairs. - Okay.
I'm so full.
I couldn't eat another bite.
We ate a lot.
Auntie, the food is good, right?
Yes, it is really good.
I really enjoyed it.
I've never tried dishes like these before.
Gwang Sik, you should have a housewarming party next time.
Okay. Please visit our place next time.
Why would we have a housewarming when we don't own the house?
We will do it once we buy our own house.
I know it's a small place, but you should do it for our family.
We want to see your place.
Of course. We'll set a date soon.
Did you enjoy the food?
- Yes. - Yes, thank you.
Thank you for having us here. It was really nice.
We really enjoyed the food. Thank you, Mr. Heo.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This is a big house,
so I'll invite you as often as I can.
You look like a happy family.
I'm so envious of you.
Ki Jin and I were always lonely.
The house is crowded with people for the first time.
It feels so good.
There's nothing to be envious of.
We may look like a happy family,
but we fight one another whenever we get together.
We had a big fight a few days ago too.
That's normal for any family.
Sure. I only have one brother, but I fight with him all the time.
Thanks to Gwang Tae, we're not lonely anymore.
She keeps us busy with all kinds of trouble every day.
That's what I do.
Just tell us before you cause any trouble.
- She gets into so much trouble. - Gwang Tae is so loved.
Goodness.
Why did you tell them we'd have a housewarming party?
Gwang Tae did it, so we should too.
In a place like this?
In this tiny house?
It's not that tiny.
You said you liked our place.
And Father wants to come.
Men have no idea.
I don't want people to see this tiny semi-basement house.
Besides, we can't even fit everyone in here.
There won't be room to sit.
Is it empty already?
Yes.
Give me that.
Here. That will last us three more days at least.
Okay.
We need to go grocery shopping this week.
We run out of shampoo so quickly.
You don't have to wash your hair every morning and night.
But I sweat while I sleep.
It's hot in summer. We don't have an air conditioner.
And we run out of toilet paper so quickly too.
Don't be like that. You're scaring me.
Just tell me to make more money instead.
That's not what I mean.
We run out of everything so quickly, as if someone's stealing our stuff.
When we're out of one thing, we run out of another.
No one's giving us any money, but we keep spending it.
How could we have a baby? You know the situation I'm in.
I won't have a baby before we buy a house.
You made them want a housewarming party.
I'll host one once we save up and move above ground.
It's so small that we can't even fit a table.
You should know, you've been here.
Who cares? We're family.
We can squeeze in if we must.
We all know your living situation.
Gwang Tae lives in a huge mansion,
and I...
Reality hit after I visited Gwang Tae.
She's going to move into an apartment.
I didn't know money had this much power.
Now that I'm married, I see why people want money.
If I had known, I'd have saved up before marriage.
Gwang Tae is Gwang Tae and you're you.
Don't compare yourself to your own sister.
I didn't know I was this shallow.
It's great if my sister's well-off.
I wanted that for her more than anyone.
So why...
Why do I feel like I'm lagging and why am I so anxious?
I think I'm so useless.
All women feel the same.
If your husband's struggling, you feel intimidated too.
Let's forget about the housewarming. Go to sleep now.
It's late.

Your vocal cords were hurt in the car accident.
You might end up being unable to sing.
You need to stop singing for a while.
You can't hit the high notes. Shall we lower it a key?
What if you sing out of tune?
I'll practice hard so that I don't.
I will reach the finals. Whatever happens.
Okay.
(Samgyetang Meal Kit Sales Analysis)
Hello. I put everything in the fridge.
Please promote them so I can sell more.
Thank you in advance.
Sure.
I'll leave eight kits.
Please help so I can sell more. Thank you.
Administer the superovulation shots for a few more days.
Inject yourself at the same time each day and avoid stress.
Stay calm and relaxed.
Okay.
(New Hope Women's Clinic)
My gosh.
- Hello. - Hello.
Lee Gwang Tae.
Why aren't you asleep?
Why would you do the laundry this late?
It's 2 a.m.
It's my turn and I forgot to do it.
It's your turn to do the dishes, not the laundry.
The laundry is Gwang Nam's duty.
She's always busy with her own family,
leaving you with the housework?
She's asleep.
Mom, don't.
Hey, you. Wake up.
- Get up. - What is it, Mother?
What's going on? She startled me.
Why did you shake her awake? You startled her.
Her health is of utmost importance.
Her health is what?
Is her health important and not mine?
I get it. I'm old, and my health doesn't matter.
Is that because I could die any day?
That's not what I meant. Let's talk outside.
Why don't you take me seriously?
Look at this. It's your turn to do the laundry.
So why is my son doing it in the middle of the night?
If you split the chores, do your part.
You keep swapping around.
My son wakes up early in the morning to fight prosecutors and judges...
and you make him do the laundry at 2 a.m.?
Are you in your right mind?
What's that?
Do you stuff cotton in your ears so you can avoid listening to me?
I did it.
She didn't know. I wanted her to sleep in peace.
Our house is a complete mess.
You stuffed your wife's ears in case she can't sleep?
And you put this over her eyes, you fool?
It's not that. The truth is, she's...
- Byun Ho. - The truth is what?
Mother. The truth is,
because I don't sleep well,
I kept dozing off at work and almost got fired.
Byun Ho went a bit overboard.
I'm sorry, Mother.
From now on, I'll stick to the duty sheet.
This won't happen again.
Yes, Mom. We won't swap duties again.
My gosh!
Darn you.
It's just me, Young Hee.
You're so cute when you're startled.
Gosh, I think this isn't right.
I think it is right.
The mineral spring nearby is really nice.
I'm used to exercising,
so I wake up early even when I want to sleep in.
You should join me next time.
Tie it tight with a rope
Knock, knock. Young Hee is here, Cheol Soo.
My goodness. Why are you...
It's not right for you to keep barging in.
I think it's right.
Don't you have work today?
No.
I'm usually the oldest wherever I go.
It's so nice to know someone older than me.
If someone were to see us, they'd have a heart attack.
This is how we get closer.
I don't think Korean melons taste the same nowadays.
The tasty ones smell sweet the moment you peel them.
- Right? - My gosh.
You're so cute when you do that.
When I was a child, the Korean melons I had...
in the lookout shed were so tasty.
My dad fertilized his fruit with manure,
so our Korean melons did well.
Those are the best kinds.
These days, nothing tastes good.
Even lettuce tasted nicer back then with a bitter zing.
That's right, Cheol Soo.
I could polish off a bowl of rice with just lettuce and no meat.
Have this.
Thanks.
I heard you became single last year.
Would you consider remarrying?
Why bother now?
Why not? You're still in your prime.
Don't you feel lonely?
What? Well...
Cheol Soo. I feel so, so lonely.
Everyone feels lonely and whatnot.
My heart aches every night that I can't even sleep.
I can't sleep because of the heat.
I'm not worried about money.
I have a pension, and I saved up for retirement.
Cheol Soo. Can't you tutor me?
What? Tutor you?
The rooftop lady told me that...
you went to university for three years to teach Korean.
My gosh.
How can I teach a teacher when I never became one?
No. All I did was play sports, so I didn't do well in school.
I just ran in the playground during school hours.
It's not like I know much.
Teach me Chinese characters.
I hear you used to attend an old-fashioned school as a kid.
I think those who know Chinese characters...
are much cooler than those who know English.
Cheol Soo. We'll start tomorrow, okay?
- But... - Promise.
I don't think this is right.
I think this is right.
Which unit did you say is backed up?
Unit 203.
- Cheol Soo. - Yes?
The woman living in unit 401 is bubbly, isn't she?
I can't believe you talked to her about me.
She wants me to tutor her starting tomorrow.
A branch store finally opened in our neighborhood.
I've been dying to eat the jjimdak here.
This is great.
- Please enjoy. - Thank you.
It looks so tasty!
Here we go.
- There. - Wow.
- Eat your fill. - Sure.
Go ahead.
The rumors were true.
(Ilmiri Jjimdak)
It sure is a good location for a restaurant.
Thank you, Gwang Tae.
Working for ten years as a part-timer...
taught her where the good spots are.
Let me know whenever you need my input.
Sure.
The store opening next month is right on schedule too.
Good job.
Gong Chae,
the restaurant where you work will now be in your name.
What?
- Thank you, sir! - Thank you, sir!
(Ilmiri Jjimdak)
Really? Is he really letting you have this restaurant?
- Yes. - Are you a business owner now?
That's right.
My gosh!
I've never been with a man who owns a business before.
You're the first.
I'll work hard to earn a lot of money...
so that Ttu Gi can do whatever she wants in her life.
I'll show you proof that I'm Gwang Tae's father.
In the early stages of pregnancy, one must take it easy.
My sisters were smarter and brighter,
and I was like the black sheep of the family.
Dad only adored my sisters, and I'd always get scolded.
Father. It's me, Ki Jin.
Just a second!
My goodness.
Right. Come on in.
What brings you by?
I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd stop by.
I see.
I got you some cookies to snack on.
Goodness. That wasn't necessary.
How is Gwang Tae doing?
Has the morning sickness started?
Not yet.
Only I don't take after our dad.
Gwang Tae doesn't seem to take after you that much.
She resembles her mother's side of the family.
I see.
Well,
by any chance,
has someone come looking for Gwang Tae?
Sorry?
No, no one has come by.
Why do you ask?
What? Oh, no reason.
I'll head upstairs to see Aunt Bong Ja then.
Sure thing.
My goodness. Thanks to you, I'm treated to such fancy cookies.
Aunt Bong Ja,
there's something I'd like to ask.
Was there a particular reason...
why Gwang Tae was scolded often while growing up?
I'm only telling you since you already know.
She borrowed money from loan sharks and caused a lot of trouble...
which led to her getting an earful.
I thought maybe she could've been adopted...
since she doesn't resemble her father.
As if that's true.
She looks the most like her father having a slim face and all.
I only said it as a joke.
How can this be a joke?
You have an odd idea about what qualifies as a joke.
Take this back with you.
This is Heo Ki Jin. Could we meet?
What's this so-called proof?
When Gwang Tae was born,
my family was strained financially.
It's why we asked them to take her in briefly.
When we went back to claim her though,
Lee Cheol Soo wouldn't give her back.
You mean Gwang Tae?
He said it was because they grew attached to her.
I paid child support and put her through school.
And I also ended up writing a note...
saying that I would stay away since it would confuse her.
Why now then?
Because she's my blood.
I want to meet my daughter at least once before I die.
I went by her house many times...
and was even present at the wedding.
It should've been me walking her down the aisle!
Truth be told,
I went to see her a few times,
but I couldn't tell her that I was her father.
It's why I hoped you'd lay the bridge for us.
Ki Jin, can I get the chance...
to hold my daughter and hear her call me her dad?
I still can't trust you.
I can't believe that Mr. Lee stole Gwang Tae from you.
Let's be honest.
There's no proof that you're her biological father,
so how can I believe you?
I'm the proof.
Sorry?
My existence is the proof.
Would a DNA test do?
("Pregnancy, Prenatal Education, Giving Birth, and Child Raising")
Did Gwang Sik say that?
Yes.
I guess guilt overwhelms her...
when she's alone with her father-in-law.
So she sends what he needs by courier instead.
But still, by courier?
I don't think it's right.
A lot of people do that these days.
My guess is that she feels guilty for what her marriage entailed.
Aunt Bong Ja showed tears...
when she asked Gwang Sik about his well-being.
Dad, this is only what I think,
but rather than cutting all ties completely,
wouldn't it be possible for them to be friends?
But they had romantic feelings for each other for over 35 years.
Would it be possible for them to become friends overnight?
They're probably watching themselves...
so that they don't stir up feelings they managed to bury.
Dol Se, are you home?
Dol Se!
Why didn't you answer me? You had me worried for a second.
I was busy banging these eyes in.
Did you think I had dropped dead?
That's not funny, you know.
My gosh.
Look at this place. Haven't you been cleaning up?
It's not like anyone comes around.
Goodness.
Have you been living on ramyeon?
I only eat when I'm hungry.
Sometimes, I don't bother to eat at all.
Does this bring in some money?
It's better than doing nothing. I like that it keeps me busy.
I pray every time I push in these eyes.
I pray that Ye Seul makes it big soon...
so that my daughter-in-law can have an easier life.
Dol Se, why don't you come home with me?
We should live together.
I'm fine.
The mess stretches out into the front yard.
His house seems abandoned.
He hasn't even been washing up.
I've been too busy to visit these days.
Even though you're busy,
you should make the time since he lives alone.
Are you aware that he suffered from a stroke ten years ago?
Yes.
A recurrence would be dangerous.
Gwang Sik feels too guilty to look in on your father...
because her marriage ended his relationship with her aunt.
I hear she sends what he needs by courier.
I thought that was because she's busy.
So, are you working hard to make your debut?
I am.
I do hope you find success soon.
Your dad prays for your success while pushing toys' eyes in place.
So look in on him from time to time even though you're busy.
Leave it. I only washed up to stop your nagging.
Pack up your things. You're coming with me.
From what I saw during renovations,
your place isn't even big enough for you two.
Don't worry about me.
I'm used to living a tough life.
I promised to grill you beef at least once a month.
Your last visit was less than a month ago.
The beef looks good.
Have you been getting regular check-ups?
We need to be careful you don't have another stroke.
You just focus on your upcoming audition.
When is the semifinals again?
The day after tomorrow.
Just keep it a secret until I make the finals.
Of course. I have no doubt that you'll make it.
Beef tastes the best...
when someone grills it for you, piece by piece.
Dae Chang, what's up?
Right now?
They're pulling names to determine the order?
I didn't know that was necessary.
I can't make it right now, so take my place.
It has to be the contestant?
Got it.
- Dad. - Don't mind me and get going.
Your work matters more.
The beef...
I'll grill the rest, so hurry off.
Okay, then...
At least have a few pieces with rice, okay?
Don't go back to eating ramyeon.
Get going already and make it to the finals.
Superstar Trot Genius King...
My Second Son Is The Best.
I'm off then.
Get going.
Head back inside, Dad!
I'm glad you didn't choose a low number.
The 25th isn't so bad.
Only 10 out of 30 will make it to the finals.
So all you have to do is make the top ten.
Got it.
What is it?
I went to see my dad earlier...
and he seemed weaker than usual.
Maybe I should've stayed for dinner.
For some reason, I didn't want to leave his side.
It felt weird as if it was our last day together.
Don't talk like that. Your father is perfectly healthy.
He'll live a long life.
I think you're on a good path.
The drug that stimulates ovarian follicles...
has to be injected on schedule.
It's why some patients set alarms to remind them of it...
an hour, half an hour, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 3 minutes,
and 1 minute prior.
If not, the superovulation shots would've been for nothing.
So make sure you stick to the schedule.
Sure thing.
End it once and for all? How do I do that?
Oh, I get it.
I've been voicing my discomfort,
but never have I had it out with her.
You're right. She should be taught a lesson.
Three minutes.
We need to talk.
Right now? What for?
You dare say that to your mother-in-law?
Come on out. We should talk.
Mother, can you give me 10... No, just 5 minutes...
Please give me five minutes.
No, it's fine. I'll be right out.
Could you quickly tell me what this is about?
What?
I'm sorry, Mother. Please go ahead.
What are your thoughts on this family these days?
Sorry?
How is this right?
I haven't been at ease since you came to live with us.
So do you think we've been functioning well?
Not exactly, Mother.
Then what should we do to improve it?
I'd love for our family dynamic to improve.
Is that it?
I'll try even harder, Mother.
How is it that you don't sound sincere?
You don't mean what you say at all.
What's with the constant ringing?
You're talking to an elder, so turn it off.
Mother, I'm sorry about this, but I have an urgent matter.
Could we pick this up later?
Do my words mean nothing to you?
Unbelievable. Aren't you from a noble family?
Ask anyone on the street.
Your mother-in-law asked for a deep conversation,
but you were too busy looking at your phone.
How is this noble?
You must stick to the schedule.
Mother, just five minutes...
No, just give me one minute. I'll be right back out.
Hey!
Open up. Hey!
Mother, just a second.
What is the meaning of this? Why is this door locked?
Are you making a fool out of me?
I'm glad you're home.
Must I keep living like this?
What's wrong?
We've been clashing for a while,
so I sat her down to talk to her just now.
But her phone kept interrupting us...
and now she has locked herself in her room.
Could she be having an affair?
That's not what this is.
As if you'd know if she was cheating on you.
You've always been slow at noticing these things.
Did it have to be today of all days?
Why can't it be today?
Am I supposed to make an appointment in advance?
You're home.
Mother, I'm sorry.
I just had an urgent call to make.
This incident alone shows your disrespect for me.
Who could be of more importance?
Is it a guy?
Mom.
Let go!
Mom.
- The truth is... - What's the truth?
Byun Ho.
She had something important to take care of.
It involves someone I know.
I'll tell you later. Please just let this slide.
Are you her attorney?
I made my son an attorney, and now he just defends his wife.
This is ridiculous.
Did you give yourself the shot?
I made it just in the nick of time.
I rushed home to help you, but I was too late.
It must be so hard for you.
Do you want to stay at a friend's house or something?
I have nowhere to go.
It's so hard for you just to get a shot.
I got through it, so it's okay now.
Just watch your mouth.
Gosh.
Mr. Byun.
Why did you want to see me?
I have nothing to say.
Mr. Byun. I bought this for you...
because I thought it would look nice on you.
What is this?
It's a T-shirt.
A T-shirt?
I won't take bribes like this.
It's not a bribe. It's a gift.
Look, lady. Do you think there is any reason for me to take this?
Mr. Byun, please don't be like this.
Stop calling me like that.
It's not like we're in-laws.
My sister and your brother have a special connection,
so we're technically in-laws.
If you don't like that, shall I call you Ttu Gi's uncle?
Gosh, I'm getting a headache again.
I know you're not happy with Taeng Ja.
It's not that I'm not happy with her.
Think of her age.
She's just too old.
That's the first reason she's out. Game over.
Do you understand?
They're 30 years apart.
Well, it's not quite 30 years.
It's 28 years.
Look, lady. Do you really think this makes any sense?
I know it doesn't make sense.
I do, but it can't be undone.
They already have Ttu Gi.
That crazy old lady seduced my brother.
I'll sue her.
Sue her for what?
Quite frankly, Gong Chae doesn't look so young.
What did you say?
I'm sorry. It was a slip of the tongue.
My mind goes blank whenever I see you.
So I just shoot my mouth off without thinking.
Listen, lady.
Do you know how that crazy old lady...
seduced my younger brother in the beginning?
My brother had a bag full of money.
So she coaxed him into drinking.
They went to sing karaoke and played whac-a-mole together.
Then she took all his stuff, including his underwear and phone.
The chairman slapped him so hard...
that his eardrum ruptured and he suffered for years.
Do you know what my brother has gone through?
He starved for three days and was out of his mind.
He was dying of malnutrition, but I saved his life.
That crazy old lady?
That's not going to happen.
Calling my sister a crazy old lady seems too harsh.
That's your future sister-in-law you are talking about.
Hey, lady!
Look.
Look straight into my eyes.
As long as these two eyes have life in them,
it will never happen.
Never.
Did you see my eyes?
Give up.
I was scared to death.
I might die before marrying you off.
I'm sorry.
I wish I had long hair.
My hair was too short to twirl.
I just kept pulling on my sideburns until they came out.
Did my brother say that?
Yes.
My sister told me to give up.
She says I should just receive child support from you.
Taeng Ja, do you trust me?
You don't have to do anything. I'll take care of it.
Your husband should be here.
He should be here...
when the eggs are retrieved for a fresh embryo transfer.
Please hang on.
Are you on your way?
I'm leaving now. I'll be there in 20 minutes.
He'll be here in 20 minutes.
Let's get ready.
Put your mind at ease.
It will be over once you've had a good sleep.
Doctor, please take good care of me.
Don't worry.
All right. Breathe slowly.
Slowly. Make yourself comfortable.
Is Ms. Lee Gwang Nam's husband not here yet?
No. What should we do?
He said he'd be here in 20 minutes.
- All right. - Ma'am.
I'm sorry I'm late. I was stuck in traffic.
- I'm here for... - Are you Lee Gwang Nam's husband?
Yes.
Please check this and give us your sperm sample in one minute.
In one minute?
Or three minutes?
Can we make it five minutes? I just got here.
Please make it quick.
Okay. I'll try.
I hope it goes well.
They said today will be the most painful.
This won't do. Let's go to your aunt's place.
You can't rest at home because of Mom.
I can't go to Auntie's house.
Just tell them you're sick.
Women have quick wits, so they will notice.
And I don't want to see anyone right now.
I want to be alone.
Then should we go to a hotel?
It's too expensive.
There's a motel near our house. Let's go there.
(Motel)
Welcome.
Do you have a room available?
The building is under construction, so we don't have a good room.
We have a room without a bed. Would that work?
And the AC is out of order.
- Let's go to a hotel. - I don't need the AC anyway.
It's fine. We will take that room.
But this is too...
I'm really tired now.
Just hurry.
We'll take it.
- Here's your key. - Okay.
My goodness.
Let's just go. The room stinks. I don't like it.
I need to lie down.
I'm too tired to get in the car.
And it hurts.
Lie down.
Be careful.
You should eat something.
Call Mother and give her a good excuse.
Let me get some sleep.
Okay. Don't worry and sleep.
Give her some warm food and make her comfortable.
She will be in a lot of pain.
I'll be right back.
- Hello? - It's me, Mom.
Gwang Nam and I won't make it home tonight.
Why not?
We're on a trip.
We have a coupon for a hotel that expires today,
so we came to use it.
I just wanted to let you know. Call me if something comes up.
Hey, Byun Ho.
What is he talking about?
I tried to be nice,
and they went on a trip without telling me?
What should I do to teach them a lesson?
(A Spoonful of Moonlight)
Byun Ho.
My gosh. It must be so hard on her, all on her own.
You should've told us.
She said the attention would be too much pressure.
She didn't want anyone to know.
You can't leave her at a motel.
Can't you bring her to my place?
She'll be in pain.
She'll scold me for telling.
It's tasty.
Where is it from?
What?
It's from my favorite diner.
Your favorite diner?
You know I have a thing about that, don't you?
Don't say that, not even as a joke.
I can't eat anymore.
Does it hurt a lot? Shall we go to the hospital?
The doctor told you to, if it hurts too much.
I'll wait a bit more.
Oh, dear.
Honey.
Are you okay?
Yes, Mom.
I think Blessing is sick.
What's wrong? Does he have a fever?
Yes, and he's throwing up.
What should I do?
Okay.
Blessing has a fever.
You should go.
Take him to a doctor if you have to.
What about you?
I'll fend for myself.
Your being here won't make much of a difference.
You must see a doctor too if it hurts too much.
I'll call you. Go home, quick.
Pick me up tomorrow.
No.
I'll come right back.
Take care.
Mom, where's Blessing?
He just woke up.
- He doesn't have a fever. - He did earlier.
I gave him medicine and he got better.
You know I'm a terrible liar because I'm just like you.
Blessing was fine, wasn't he?
What grandmother lies about her grandson being sick?
- You. - That's just unfair.
How could you?
You got here fast which means you were nearby.
It's fine that you two want to get romantic.
Did you not tell me in case I stopped you from going?
I forgot to tell you.
She doesn't take me seriously because you treat me like this.
Let's talk later. I have to go.
I won't take your calls.
This isn't normal.
I don't care if it's normal or not.
I have no one to blame.
It's my fault for raising him like this.
He's just crazy about a woman.
Honey.
Does it hurt a lot? Shall we go to the hospital?
I took some painkillers. I'll wait until it kicks in.
My goodness.
I wish there was something I could do.
Try to sit up. Do you want to lean on me?
No, leave me alone.
What am I doing?
I'm stuck in a strange motel.
Why didn't I think of this then?
I never imagined this day would come.
I thought I'd be young forever.
I didn't realize then that as I grow older,
my ideas and thoughts change too.
Why am I always like this?
Now I'm torturing my body and spending a fortune.
I feel so pathetic.
I can handle the pain.
The thought that I don't have long to be a mom drives me crazy.
It's making me so anxious.
Don't get impatient.
If it doesn't work, we'll give up.
Don't say that.
I don't care if I die of the pain.
I wish I could have a baby just once.
I want it so badly.

(Na Chi Bum and Lee Gwang Tae are a 99.9-percent parental match.)
(Mr. Kim)
Hello?
Did you check? Let's meet, Ki Jin.
I'm sorry for being so rude.
You should call me "Father" now.
Okay, Father.
I'm so moved to hear you call me that.
It feels like Gwang Tae called me "Dad."
I see.
Thank you, Ki Jin.
Did you tell Gwang Tae?
No, not yet. The timing is not ideal.
Why not?
She's pregnant.
The doctor told her to be careful,
and this news could be very shocking to her.
I must wait until she's stable.
I get it. I can't make Gwang Tae suffer.
Right.
About this matter...
Let's keep it between us.
If Lee Cheol Soo were to find out, there would be a huge fuss,
and that'll be hard on my Gwang Tae.
Let's keep it quiet, just between the two of us.
Okay. I get what you mean.
You should eat.
Also...
It's not much. Consider it an allowance.
Thank you.
Having Gwang Tae did me some good.
Excuse me. It's an important call.
- Go ahead. - Thank you.
It really isn't much.
My poor heart is wilting away
I wait for you at Mokpo Station
Dad, I'm at the TV station.
Superstar Trot Genius King...
My Second Son Is The Best.
You will make it for sure. I'll pray for you.
You can do it!
Thank you, Dad. I can do it!
Do you want me to give him a message?
Tell him to eat regularly.
I packed him an assortment of side dishes.
I probably...
shouldn't say this to you,
but Dol Se seems like he has given up on everything.
What?
He's different.
He used to use one mask pack a day...
and was a clean freak who did all he could to heal his prostate.
His place was a mess when I visited a few days ago.
He stays at home sticking eyes in plush dolls all day.
It's as if that's his whole world now.
Goodbye.
Dol Se.
Are you home?
Dol Se.
My gosh.
Hey. Dol Se!
Oh, no.
Hi, Dad.
Why can't I reach Ye Seul? Why won't he pick up?
What's wrong?
Your father-in-law has collapsed. We're in the ambulance.
What?
Cheol Soo.
Okay.
How could this happen?
(16 missed calls from Gwang Sik)
Hey, Gwang Sik. What's up?
I've been holding on to Ye Seul's phone.
What?
His father?
Dae Chang.
Ye Seul...
Who is it?
It's Gwang Sik.
Can you make it quick? I'm up next.
Don't be alarmed, okay?
Your father collapsed.
He's at the hospital right now.
(Operating Center)
This is solely my own opinion,
but all you need is five minutes.
I'll be with your father, so sing your heart out.
He'll want that too.
What now?
Number 25, Han Ye Seul.
Han Ye Seul?
Over here!
Come with us. You need to get ready.
Hold on.
Is something wrong?
Well...
Are you dropping out?
What?
- Why? - What?
Are you in or out? We don't have all day.
Ye Seul.
I'll consider that a yes. Numbers 26 and 27, please get ready.
Just a second.
Number 25, Han Ye Seul.
I won't drop out.
If the swelling gets worse, we might have to open his skull.
Gosh, Dol Se!
Please make it out alive.
How am I supposed to live without you?
What am I supposed to do?
Dol Se, please.
Why isn't Ye Seul here already?
He'll be here soon. He's just held up somewhere.
What's so important when his father is fighting for his life?
(Operating Center)
Okay, okay, it's okay
Whatever the world says
Okay, okay, there's no giving up
Good luck to my life
(Revolutionary Sisters)
Two lines!
Are we pregnant?
Blessing, please wish your sibling good health.
You're done singing, right? If that's the case, do this with me.
Aren't you tired of borrowing money all the time?
- How did you seduce him? - Should I demonstrate?
She calls you "sweetheart" now?
- Yes. - Am I Sweetheart's brother then?
Ki Jin, could you perhaps lend me some money?
About 50,000 dollars would do.
