Help!
(Episode 46)
Why you...
Cheol Soo, stop!
Cheol Soo,
please put down that shovel first.
Is it perhaps the same shovel?
The one you used to chase me with?
Come on.
Let's be honest here though.
Oh Maeng Ja went around seeing one man after another,
but it came to an end thanks to me.
Are you saying that's something to be proud of?
You ran away the second you found out...
that she was pregnant with Gwang Tae.
Remember what you said...
when I asked if you'd raise her after the divorce?
You couldn't care less about her.
I was a proud man,
but I set everything aside...
and raised Gwang Tae as if she were my own.
You came after us to extort money...
every time you needed money to gamble.
How many times have you promised...
you'd never look for Gwang Tae again?
But now you go after my son-in-law,
all while never intending to actually seek Gwang Tae out.
It was just to extort money from him.
Only an animal would use his own daughter as leverage.
This is just wrong!
My life was in shambles, so what could I have done?
I'm the one who brought her into this world though.
She married into a rich family,
so why can't I get a piece of the action?
You scumbag!
Wait...
You dare claim to be her father after the trouble you caused?
No matter what you say, Gwang Tae is my daughter.
You don't have any blood ties with her.
Shut that trap!
Gwang Tae has been my daughter...
ever since she was born 29 years ago.
Come on.
Don't you know that I have parental rights?
Gwang Tae's assets? Come on.
You should know that I have a right to that.
The law has changed, you dirtbag.
They changed the law because of trash like you.
Do you only see her as dollar signs?
Someone like you shouldn't be treated with respect.
This isn't right.
It'll be the end for both of us today!
Wait!
Cheol Soo, please.
Die!
This isn't right.
- Have you gone mad? - I'm going to kill you!
Go ahead.
Cheol Soo!
- Oh Maeng Ja! - Cheol Soo! Please!
Cheol Soo!
This is just wrong.
- Father. - Have a seat.
I made it clear,
so he won't show his face ever again.
Even if he does, don't meet up with him.
If anything happens, call me.
I'm worried he might try to meet Gwang Tae if I don't.
His purpose is money,
so he won't go to Gwang Tae.
His goal is to threaten you to extort money from you.
I understand, Father.
He's crazy!
He must've done the same thing to Ki Jin as he did to you.
I can't believe it.
He told Ki Jin that Gwang Tae was a foundling.
And that he paid for child support and her education.
That trash. You should've ripped his mouth open.
Isn't he scared of the consequences?
I'm sorry, Cheol Soo.
I'm the one at fault.
You wouldn't have gone through all this...
if only I hadn't asked you to show her mercy.
I regretted it once in a while,
wondering if I had ruined your life.
She's my niece,
but she's a total stranger to you.
It was my choice after all.
I couldn't break this family apart...
and how could I possibly abandon the kids?
I had no idea it'd haunt me like this all my life.
Cheol Soo, let's tell Gwang Tae the truth now.
She should know the truth.
She won't be able to bear it...
if she realizes she was born from an affair.
A foundling is better.
Even if she finds out someday, it shouldn't be like this.
Keep it a secret from Gwang Nam and Gwang Sik too.
Do you think he'll easily give up on Ki Jin?
He squeezed out all the money you worked hard for.
I think he came knowing Gwang Tae's in-laws are well off.
He won't come anymore...
if he's a decent human.
He's not even human.
Did you take the shovel with you again?
What else have I got to take with me?
Cheol Soo, I'm scared...
that Gwang Sik and Gwang Nam might go through the same.
No way.
Dad!
- What brings you so late at night? - I came to see you.
Come inside for a bit.
My mother-in-law went to visit a friend.
There's no need.
Gwang Nam, you know...
Yes?
- Dad, do you need money? - No.
If anyone comes...
to see you by any chance, just don't see him.
What?
Who'd come to see me?
If a stranger comes up to you wanting to have a chat,
don't talk to that person or meet up with him.
Do that. What was it again?
- Brush that person off? - Yes. Brush that person off.
Don't answer calls from numbers you don't know either.
I don't because I'm scared of phone scams.
I must still be a kid to you, Dad.
I won't follow strangers or talk to them.
You told me that even when I was a kid.
Did you come here because you were worried?
It's a dangerous world.
Anyway, don't do it. All right?
Go back in. I'm leaving.
Be careful on your way home, Dad.
I will.
- A stranger? - Yes.
If a stranger wants to talk to you,
just don't do it.
Just brush that person off.
I will. Did you come here to tell me that?
Yes. It just crossed my mind.
You told me not to speak with strangers...
and to come straight home when I was a kid.
I was surprised since you came by late at night.
I thought something happened.
What about Ye Seul?
He's really busy.
That's good. He should make it big while he's at it.
Were you worried that strangers might approach us if he gets famous?
Anyway, just don't do it.
Okay, Dad. Don't worry.
Mr. Park,
something urgent came up at home.
It'd be great if you could postpone the afternoon schedule to next week.
I'll send an email to the president myself.
I don't have any trials this week, do I?
Okay, thank you.
You don't need to go to work?
I rearranged my schedule.
Go back in and rest. I'll cook breakfast for you.
After I make Blessing's food.
- Hey, Byun Ho... - Don't bring up mom.
Mother, I brought some sushi.
I don't need it.
Why do you keep dropping by? It's annoying.
- Didn't you want to sever ties? - I didn't say that.
What?
It must be uncomfortable staying in someone else's house for so long.
Let's go back to your house.
I don't have a house.
I was even kicked out by my son.
This is ridiculous.
Why did I involve myself in some married couple's life?
Some married couple? He's your son and I'm his wife.
She's so upset that her son changed so much...
when he used to be glued to her side as a kid.
Everyone knew what a good son he was.
It's no use even if you come every day.
It's the son who should come.
- Dad is interested in someone? - Yes.
He seems to have clicked with Unit 401.
But he'll never make a move first.
So it'd be nice if his kids helped him out.
Did he say that himself?
No, but I'm a pro when it comes to relationships.
I've never seen him smile like that.
Honestly, he never smiled like that with your mom.
I'm sure you have some idea.
It's about time he lives comfortably,
not having to worry about what others think.
Help him out a bit.
Okay.
Cheol Soo, open up.
- Is it refreshing? - Goodness.
Hey, Gwang Nam. Are you busy?
Let's meet. I've got something to discuss.
Your house? Okay. I'll head over with Gwang Tae.
Dad has a girlfriend?
No way.
I saw it too.
She followed him to work,
fed him patbingsu, and wiped his sweat for him.
That means Dad also has feelings.
I can't imagine it.
It's weird that Dad is going out with someone.
What does she look like?
I saw them from afar, so I couldn't tell.
She might be a swindler.
Dad doesn't have a penny.
You get scammed even if you don't. Take Hwang Cheon Gil for example.
- I'm sorry, Gwang Nam. - Seriously.
That's the biggest mistake of my life.
Shouldn't we look into her?
She might be a weirdo.
If she gets into trouble, we'll suffer the damage.
Ye Seul won't be able to be on TV.
Hold on a second. Why don't we meet her in person?
I'll give Auntie a call.
Come in.
- Excuse us. - We won't take long.
Come in.
Oh, my. You surprised me.
- Why? - Why?
I thought angels came down from heaven.
Is it all right for us to come to your house?
There's no need to meet outside.
Have a seat. This is how I live.
Excuse me, may I use the restroom?
Sure.
Thank you.
They're a bit too much to look at, right?
When I worked as a PE teacher,
I always wore tracksuits, and I didn't like that.
So that is my last-ditch effort.
I do wear short shorts like this at home.
I invited you over to my room,
but I don't even have much to serve you.
- Here. - Thank you.
Sit down.
Thank you.
I heard the three of you used to live in this room.
Yes.
Maybe that's why, but the moment I moved in,
the room didn't feel strange, and it felt so familiar.
You are all so pretty.
You look like Cheol Soo...
I mean, I think you look like your father.
That's the first time we've heard that.
Right, we should introduce ourselves first.
I'm the eldest, Lee Gwang Nam.
I'm the second daughter, Lee Gwang Sik.
I'm the youngest, Gwang Tae.
Even your names are unique and nice.
That's the first time we've heard that as well.
We don't like our names.
I'm Young Hee. Kim Young Hee.
Cheol Soo and Young Hee?
You're right. The best friends who always appear in textbooks.
Even our names match perfectly.
Well, I won't beat around the bush.
We came here to ask...
what you think about our father.
As soon as I met Cheol Soo, I knew he was the one right away.
As soon as you met him?
Because I taught students,
I know what kind of people they are as soon as I meet them.
As soon as I met him, I could feel that he was honest...
And how should I say this?
I felt like he had a good personality.
My father is a descendant of a noble family,
so he does have that side to him.
Others also say he seems very classy.
Just being classy doesn't make a romantic relationship work.
Honestly, he has so much charm as a man.
My father has nothing.
He spent everything on us,
so he doesn't even have a retirement plan.
I thought so too.
I can tell from how he rents a room at his sister-in-law's studio.
I have a solid retirement plan,
and Cheol Soo just needs to join me.
How was she?
It would've been nice...
if Cheol Soo had met someone like her from the start...
and lived happily with his children.
His marriage life wasn't exactly great,
but he still raised the three of us. How could you say that?
What? You're right.
She's easygoing and nice, right?
She's way too easygoing. That's the problem.
She speaks nicely too. Isn't she all right?
She does speak nicely, but it sounds like she's just sugarcoating it.
To put it bluntly, it sounds like she's buttering us up.
Are you sure Dad likes her too?
It looked like it.
I didn't know that's the kind of woman he likes.
She dresses fancily too.
I heard she goes around wearing short shorts at that age.
Dad doesn't like that, does he?
Could she have an ulterior motive?
It's not like there's anything for her to take from your dad.
What did she say earlier?
She fell in love with his butt.
Is Dad's butt that cool?
I don't understand that either. I think she's plotting something.
That's because you see him as your father.
Why, do you not like her?
- Well... - Well...
I don't think it's something we should get involved in for now.
We don't even know who she is for us to support her.
Right, a few days ago, Dad came to me suddenly...
and told me not to meet with strangers,
even if they come asking for me.
He told you that as well?
You too?
He called me as well.
He told me not to answer calls from unknown numbers.
He said that all the time when we were young.
Why is he saying that again?
We even got married, but he must think we're still kids.
That's not it. Perhaps...
Perhaps what?
Nothing's wrong with Dad, right?
He has a very clear mind.
Don't take it the wrong way and just listen to him.
What are you plotting without me?
It's nothing.
Gwang Sik, you must be so happy.
Your husband is doing so well nowadays.
Shouldn't we throw a congratulatory party for him?
Yes, Gwang Sik. Tell him to treat us big time.
I will.
Has he gotten any ads yet?
I'm sure he'll get one after another.
It's nice to see him doing well, right?
It must feel like she's dreaming.
If he's busy as a singer,
he should stop working at his moving company, right?
Because of COVID-19, there aren't many performances,
so he'll be doing both for a while.
He wouldn't do something foolish...
now that he's suddenly famous, would he?
Gwang Sik, be on your guard.
Don't stir her up.
She unexpectedly holds a grudge and gets stirred up easily.
Ye Seul wouldn't do such a thing.
Gosh, don't worry. I won't even bat an eyelash.
You should just let your husband do his work.
You can't care about every single thing,
especially when he's a celebrity.
A celebrity is everyone's boyfriend.
Hey. What happened to today's dinner plan?
Okay.
We couldn't even eat dinner together because we were so busy.
You like sashimi.
That's right.
Here is your sashimi.
Enjoy your meal.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
My gosh, you're him, right?
Han Ye Seul, who was on TV that time!
Okay, okay, it's okay
Yes, that's me.
My goodness, it's really you!
Gosh, you look so handsome in real life!
Why do you have such a small face?
Gosh, when you were on TV...
and talked about the moso bamboo and sang,
I cried so hard!
My goodness, it's Han Ye Seul!
- My goodness! - Gosh!
Can I get your autograph?
Please take a picture with me.
I'm sorry, we're eating now.
I see.
- I'll do it quickly. - Yes!
One moment.
My gosh!
He's so cool.
Even his autograph looks good.
- A picture... - Sure.
Thank you.
I can't believe this.
I'm going to hang this on the wall.
I'll give you a lot of freebies,
- so enjoy your food. - Thank you.
Okay, okay, do your best
Can I have your autograph as well?
It's such an honor.
Thank you.
If I had another daughter, I'd want him to be my son-in-law.
How are you so handsome and such a good singer?
Thank you.
Here you go.
- Can I take a picture with you? - Sure.
Take one.
- He's so handsome. - He's so handsome.
So handsome!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- I'll cheer for you! - Thank you.
- Can I take a picture? - Sure.
Look here.
One, two, three!
Me too.
One, two, three!
- Han Ye Seul! - Han Ye Seul!
- Okay, okay, it's okay - Okay, okay, it's okay
Please enjoy your meal.
My goodness!
He wouldn't do something foolish...
now that he's suddenly famous, would he?
Gwang Sik, be on your guard.
A celebrity is everyone's boyfriend.
How can you leave without saying anything?
I had them wrap up the sashimi.
It was too crowded just now, right?
But it was so amazing.
I appeared on TV just once, and everyone notices me.
I don't think I can even go out anymore.
You won't be able to commit any crimes, that's for sure.
True.
- Should I set the table? - I'm good.
I didn't get to eat either.
I bet you're still full though.
You're right.
I could go a few days without eating.
We'll save it for later then.
This can make one go crazy, you know.
Don't let it actually happen though.
Let's discuss our financial situation.
I bring in money from the bistro...
and there's the amount you earn from singing.
How should we utilize it?
We'll each put in half for common use...
and manage the other half individually.
Or my earnings can be for common use...
while we save whatever you earn.
What if we saved up what I earn and...
Ye Seul.
Yes?
How should we manage our money?
You can take care of it.
The photo has already been uploaded. Look.
They don't wait, do they?
- The money... - Just do what you want.
I'm good with whatever you choose.
(Han Ye Seul Fan Club Chat Room)
Ye Seul, it's been a while.
Hi, Byeol.
I saw the photo you took at the sashimi restaurant.
What are you up to right now?
I'm on the phone and resting at home.
(I'm on the phone and resting at home.)
No, that would make me sound lame.
(Han Ye Seul Fan Club)
I'm getting ready for a recording session.
A recording session?
Does this imply a new single?
That's right.
Congratulations!
I'd love an autograph next time.
- Okay. - Really?
Of course. Anything for my first fan.
Nice! Ye Seul, I love you.
I love you too.
Hey, Celebrity Han. Aren't you coming to bed?
Right. I should.
Why are you answering every single one of them?
(Han Ye Seul Fan Club Chat Room)
What? A recording session?
I have a reputation to keep.
Byeol? Who's that?
My first fan.
She's an aspiring singer too.
How can you believe it without meeting her?
Why would a fan lie?
You don't want to get tangled with the wrong crowd.
She might become your stalker.
Come on. My Byeol would never.
"My Byeol?"
Don't pounce on what I said.
Look. She's obviously flirting.
Don't say that to someone pure and innocent.
Innocent? Have you met her?
She's a college student.
She could be an old granny for all we know.
That's ridiculous.
There's no need to get worked up.
How could I not be upset?
I even had to skip dinner today.
Doesn't my popularity benefit you too?
I love it. I'm over the moon.
But there's a line you shouldn't cross.
Think of how you were at the restaurant.
You could've cut it short and had dinner with me.
I was left there hanging.
This is new to me, so I got carried away.
Did that upset you?
Don't cross the line in the chat room either.
I don't log on often,
but it's always Byeol who acts strange.
She keeps flirting with you.
You keep your answers short with other fans,
but not when it comes to Byeol.
I'm proud that someone young wants to be a singer someday.
Is that something to be proud of?
Half the kids these days want to be singers.
I get that she's a fan, but she says she loves you...
and you say the same.
Do you love just about anyone?
That's what everyone does. You see it on TV.
"Guys, I love you all."
That's addressed to all the viewers.
This isn't a private chat room, you know.
If she meant it romantically, she wouldn't write it here...
for everyone to see.
The other fans adore Byeol too.
You should log on some time.
Do you think it's wise for me to log on to your fan club?
People will like you less.
Then you know you're being unreasonable.
I'd rather you not nitpick so much.
Do you think I'm nitpicking?
When's the last time you took the time to look at me?
Describe my eyes.
Do I have double eyelids or not?
What color are they?
Gwang Sik, that's enough.
Look at Big Bells get all jealous.
Do you think this is jealousy speaking?
As if I'd be jealous of what's-her-name.
No way.
I'm talking about basic decency.
You don't even reply to my texts these days.
You're the one person I already have by my side.
Not these people though.
I need to put time and effort into gaining their love.
We should be more than grateful.
From now on, I'll reply when Big Bells text me.
I hate that nickname. And Big Eyes too for that matter.
Don't think you can laugh your way out of this.
Fame has made you nothing but a flatterer.
Come on. At least give me money for some ramyeon.
Hey, Na Chi Bum!
- Gosh. - Get back here.
When will you pay up?
Please don't hurt me.
I'll come into some money.
I told you I'll be getting 100,000 dollars soon.
All that comes out of your mouth are lies.
Whatever!
Why you...
You have three days to deliver 100,000 dollars.
If you don't, I'll drown you in that water.
Why 100,000 dollars?
All I borrowed is 18,000 dollars.
There's the interest, a waiting fee,
and money you owe for annoying me.
Together, it'll be 100,000 dollars.
Darn it.
("Prenatal Education for New Moms and Dads")
You have anemia.
It'll get better with medication and rest.
I'll give you some fluids today.
Sure thing.
Yes?
Ki Jin.
(Loans)
This will be the last time. That's 50,000 dollars.
You should've made it 100,000. Must you be so cheap?
The rich are never generous.
Promise me that you won't show your face again.
I'll pay you back in spades.
I have a good feeling about it this time.
Why exhaust your energy like that?
Take care, Ki Jin.
One, two, three, four.
Two, two, three, four.
Three, two, three...
Seriously?
Four, five, six.
Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
- Cheol Soo! - My goodness.
Were you out exercising?
Getting Dol Se to work out is a hassle...
due to all his slacking off.
What's with him?
That's how he is.
Maybe I should work out with you instead.
Goodness. What happened to your hand?
I hurt myself a little.
Gosh, let me see.
My goodness!
- Follow me. - No, that's not necessary.
You didn't have to.
It must've hurt.
Stay still, will you?
Whenever the kids got injured in the playground,
I acted as their private physician.
Are...
your daughters...
not fond of you seeing me?
- Sorry? - If that's the case,
will you choose to cut me out of your life?
I know what your concern is, brother-in-law.
Your one and only younger brother is about to ruin his life...
because of some crazy old woman, so I get it.
It worries me too, you know.
I'd probably die first...
which leaves him alone with Ttu Gi.
That thought keeps me up at night.
At some moments, my mind tells me...
to let him marry a woman he can grow old with.
But then I'd be letting down our daughter.
I'm just as confused, you know.
It's why I came to this conclusion.
It'll just be until Ttu Gi grows attached to her dad.
I'll stay with him for three years and then we'll part ways.
Just three years?
Three years is enough...
for him to grow sick of me.
After they build a relationship,
I'll leave quietly.
We won't register our marriage or have a wedding.
Who caused a mess this time around?
I'm nervous every time someone calls a family meeting.
I guess you could call it a mess.
Anyway, Ttu Gi has something to say.
Ttu Gi? What is it?
I found my dad.
Really?
My gosh. How?
You said you didn't know who the father was.
We met recently.
He's on his way to greet the family.
You girls have to call him Uncle.
Of course.
I can't wait to meet him.
Gwang Tae's response worries me.
Same here.
Me? Why?
It's nothing. You'll see.
Coming.
Gong Chae, what brings you by?
What is all this you brought?
Did Ki Jin send you?
I told him I was going to see the family.
That's not it.
Dad!
My Ttu Gi.
Say hello. This is Ttu Gi's dad.
You can join us here.
Welcome.
I'm greeting you for the first time as Ttu Gi's dad.
I'm Byun Gong Chae.
- Right. - Right.
How did this happen?
It just did.
Auntie, he's younger than me!
Is he really Ttu Gi's dad?
The DNA test says that I am.
I didn't know what was appropriate to bring you on my first day,
so I decided to bring you what I do best.
I made every dish our restaurant serves.
Here.
Now that I know, I see the family resemblance.
They couldn't be more alike.
Don't look down on him because he's young...
and respect him as your uncle.
Always keep that in mind.
Got it, Dad.
Gwang Tae, especially you.
This is crazy, Uncle.
I hope we get along.
I hear you, my niece.
Cheol Soo,
thank you so much.
Being addressed like that by someone younger than my kids...
makes me feel young too.
This isn't right.
No, it's so right.
Please enjoy.
Will you be late tonight?
Ye Seul, good luck on your show today.
Ye Seul, good luck.
Can I text you any time?
Hey.
I'm on the road. Sorry I didn't text you back.
Are you going somewhere?
I just wrapped up an interview, and I'm on my way to another one.
You must be exhausted.
Hardly. All I feel is joy.
Thank Dae Chang for doing a good job.
Gwang Sik thanks you for doing a good job.
Gwang Sik, good day to you too!
I'm not tired either. Talk about an adrenaline rush.
"Celebrity Han is on his way to stardom."
We can't go anywhere to eat.
Too many people recognize him, so we can't stay.
Then eat here instead.
Keep up the good work then. Bye.
Aren't you happy now that she's smiling?
Here.
What's this? Is it mine?
A celebrity should have something as good as that.
It'll be easier to watch videos since the screen is big.
You can write on it too.
You're the man. Thanks, manager.
Byeol, I'm sorry for the late reply.
I'm on the road after wrapping up an interview.
Byeol, you can text me anytime.
I saw the interview that was just posted.
Lucky Byeol.
She's a founding member.
- She deserves special treatment. - I'm jealous though.
Welcome.
I'm on the clock, so I'll have what comes out fast.
I only serve one dish per day and today it's kimchi jjigae.
I'll take it.
Sure.
That'll be nine dollars.
Keep the change.
Sir!
Don't ignore chump change.
999 dollars won't become 1,000 without this dollar.
Saving up is how you move out of the studio apartment.
Aunt Bong Ja.
I hope everything is all right?
Why? Is something up?
Actually, he came by once more.
What? But he shouldn't have been able to.
He chased Gwang Tae to the clinic while she was getting fluids.
I had to give him 50,000 dollars.
You gave him 50,000 dollars?
He wanted 100,000 dollars, but I only gave him half.
I can manage everything else,
but I'm worried that Gwang Tae will find out.
He won't be able to show himself to her...
since that would mean no more payouts.
He's using her as leverage...
to extort money from you.
Darn scumbag. How do we put a stop to him?
I hear he paid child support and put her through school.
He says he should be compensated for that.
Ki Jin, I can't go into any details, but that's all a lie.
Don't believe anything he says. All he does is tell lies.
What? That piece of trash!
I don't care if I get arrested for this.
He's dead meat!
- Cheol Soo! - Darn it!
You, Na Chi Bum.
What? My gosh!
Why you...
Cheol Soo, please don't.
Hit me. Go ahead.
- You... - Cheol Soo,
he's not worth risking your freedom.
Take that!
My gosh.
It's blood!
Darn you!
Bong Ja, how is it that you haven't changed one bit?
I'm your brother-in-law, you know.
Crazy jerk. You have a death wish, don't you?
What...
How are you my brother-in-law, you scumbag?
You had an affair with a married woman!
She came on to me. It wasn't the other way around.
You deserve a world of punishment.
How dare you say you paid for child support?
You put her through school?
You stole every penny Cheol Soo had!
Because of you, I lived in debt my whole life.
Just so that I could save that wench of a sister,
I begged Cheol Soo to let it go.
Darn you, you piece of trash!
The blame isn't all on me though.
A woman only has an affair if the husband isn't good enough.
You don't know anything.
You piece of scum!
Cheol Soo, don't. Let me handle this.
You haven't changed one bit.
All your life, you and Cheol Soo...
have been cleaning up Maeng Ja's mess.
Shut your trap...
and give back the 50,000 dollars you took from Ki Jin.
Why should I?
A father-in-law can receive...
that kind of money from his son-in-law.
Cheol Soo, don't I have the right?
You piece of trash!
Getting arrested will only hurt you more.
Let me handle him.
He won't be able to report it if it's me who does the beating.
Bong Ja, move.
I can't hold myself back anymore.
It hurts my pride to hold back anymore. Darn it...
Cheol Soo.
I'm sorry I put you through this.
(Money withdrawn: 1,543.21 dollars)
You didn't bring your shovel, did you?
Sit.
I came because you wanted to see me.
But it's not to beat me up, is it?
I was able to take some blows when I was young,
but not anymore now that I've grown old.
Every nook and cranny of my body hurts.
I didn't come here to beat you, so sit.
If you do,
I'm heading straight to the police.
You haven't changed one bit.
You still bring a shovel with you every time.
I'm sorry for beating you up.
Forgive me this once.
Gwang Tae...
has been my kid for 29 years.
She will be until the world ends.
Accept that.
I ask you sincerely.
That's easy for you to say.
There's no denying she's my blood.
Both her face and personality are the spitting image of me.
Blood will tell.
This...
is all I've got.
It's 1,543.21 dollars.
I withdrew every penny I had in my account.
You don't even have 10,000 dollars?
I'm sorry I don't even have 10,000 dollars.
This...
is a gift I received...
from Gwang Tae's in-laws for raising her well.
It's a high-end watch.
Is this really high-end?
It is.
It sure has a gleam to it.
Let's call it even with this.
We're both fathers.
Let's only wish happiness for Gwang Tae.
She went through a lot ever since she was little.
You know very well.
You took all my money,
so I couldn't do much for Gwang Tae.
So she worked numerous part-time jobs.
She's pregnant right now,
so the doctor warned her to be careful.
You shouldn't give her a hard time.
We were once...
close friends.
Give her a break. Do it for me.
I'll get on my knees if you want me to.
You always say that.
Forget it.
It's not as if we're enemies.
To be frank,
I feel bad for you too.
Back then,
I was immature...
and the thought that my child...
was living her life somewhere in the world...
made me feel bad.
Promise me...
you won't go looking for Gwang Tae or Ki Jin ever again.
Fine.
Thanks.
Let's not meet again.
Cheol Soo.
I'm off.
That's about 1,543 dollars...
and this is a high-end watch.
Is it real?
It is.
Bring it on! You're all dead!
Oh, my. It's pretty!
Thank you, Gwang Tae!
Your taste has gotten more refined since marrying into a rich family.
Do you like it?
I can't wait for my first night with him.
I hope you have a good time.
When are you moving?
She's moving in next week.
He's currently decorating the house.
He told me to sit still since he'll do it all.
Gong Chae is such a neat freak.
That's Uncle to you, not Gong Chae.
I'm just so used to calling him by name.
Auntie, when are you going to go buy seasoned raw fish?
After I have a talk with the market people.
Take me with you.
All right.
What is that?
A pajama set so she can spend a hot first night.
She's going all out to look good...
for her husband who is 28 years younger than her.
She's putting on blush...
and eating all sorts of food that's good for her health.
She's getting younger by the day.
What does that matter?
You should also be on your toes.
Ye Seul is four years younger than you, right?
Four years?
It's two years and that's not even that much of a difference.
Hey, even a year's difference makes him younger.
We're not at the level of quibbling over age.
There's no level in love.
Ask any guy on the streets.
No man would turn down a pretty young woman.
There's a world of difference...
between when you're in your 20s and your 30s.
She's right. Stop being stingy and take care of yourself.
Don't wear shabby clothes just because you run a bistro.
Two years' difference may not sound like a lot, but listen.
When you're 40, he's 38.
The first digit is different, so there's a difference.
Women start to age after their mid-thirties.
Even your wrinkles get worse.
Countless women get dumped after looking after the men.
Men moving on to meet rich women after becoming successful...
isn't only in dramas or movies.
I have friends who went through that.
She's right. He's not the old Unit 301.
He's super popular now.
Don't be too mean.
Gwang Sik might cry when she gets home.
What do you take me for?
I guess you guys don't know me very well.
I'm not someone who'd cry over something like that.
It's nothing.
That's not important for married couples.
What's important is sincere love.
I'll be strong even in my 40s and 50s.
My gosh. When did I get these wrinkles?
Excuse me. What's popular these days?
Something cheap but good.
This is the newest product.
It's really popular.
I've already tried this.
Then I'd like this...
- and this one. - Sure.
Could you give me a lot of samples?
Sure.
Gwang Sik!
Oh, hey.
What's with those flowers?
I wanted some flowers in my house.
It felt empty.
You'll throw it out once it wilts. What a waste of money.
It's fine as long as it makes me happy once.
Did you do some shopping?
Yes, kind of.
Did you buy some makeup?
Yes, I was out of lotion.
I'll get going. I'm a bit busy.
I thought it was nothing.
Where are you?
The person you're calling is on another line.
Please leave a message after the beep.
What time will you be home?
You're dead tonight.
How can you not when I'm going this far?
Then send me your email address.
Yes. I just need to answer your questions, right?
Yes, that's right.
Do write a good article for me.
Please help me.
Thank you. Bye.
You're home.
Dae Chang, I'll send you Reporter Kim's email address,
so go through what I wrote last time and send it to that address.
That's right. Bye.
Isn't there something different about me?
Hello, Director.
Yes, I know.
Yes, okay.
Dae Chang, Director Lee called just now.
He wants to check my outfit and wants a picture of it.
That's right. Thanks for your hard work.
Gosh, things are so hectic.
I'm home.
That's so quick of you to greet me.
Isn't there something different about me?
What is?
Did you apply something? Your face looks pretty moist.
Yes, Dae Chang.
No, I think my outfit stands out too much.
Remember the one I showed you last time?
Yes, okay. Bye.
Ye Seul, this is Byeol.
This is my first time messaging you in private.
Is this okay?
It's fine. I just came back home.
Is everything fine? How's your mother?
She's not doing well.
Thank you for asking about her.
You can do it.
Aren't you going to wash up?
I will.
What is that? Did you change your phone?
Yes. Didn't I tell you?
You should've told me if you're going to buy a new one.
How can you just buy yours alone? That's disloyal.
My manager bought it for me so I can work hard.
- Dae Chang? - Yes, my manager.
Why would you call him your manager so suddenly?
I have to do everything my manager says now.
My movements are still stiff.
Confidently.
You said you're going to wash up.
Yes, after I check this.
Okay, okay, it's okay
Is it fine? How do I look?
Ask your manager.
Good luck to my life
Mother, please come home with me.
Without you, the house feels empty,
and Byun Ho and I don't have anything to smile about.
I know you don't mean that.
It must be so comfortable without me.
I said it's no use, no matter how many times you come.
Her son should be here, not you.
Here.
You're eating so well.
There's no other way.
Bring her home, even if you have to carry her on your back. Please?
This is so uncomfortable for me.
It's like I'm sitting on pins and needles.
For me. Just once. Please?
Byun Ho!
Please?
You'll go, right?
Open wide.
Stop whining and get on my back.
Forget it.
I'll just die like this.
Stop saying what you don't mean.
The fortune-teller said you'll live until you're 120 years old.
Hurry up.
Just pretend to give in and get on his back.
It's so bothersome to cook for her.
You shouldn't outstay your welcome in this stifling weather.
Just hurry up and take her!
You should treat her well.
Growing old is upsetting enough.
If her son doesn't take her side,
imagine how upset she must be.
My mom isn't even that old.
Hurry up and get on my back.
I said I don't want to.
Stop saying that and get up.
That's right. Gosh.
Next...
- I told you to let go! - Gosh.
It's so embarrassing.
If you know it's embarrassing, don't do something like this.
Blessing, your grandma is here!
Welcome back, Mother.
I cleaned your room,
and I'm cooking tofu jjigae.
Don't let me catch a glimpse of her.
Blessing! My baby, Grandma's here!
I brought her back on the condition that she doesn't have to see you.
Stay out of her sight for a while.
I will. I cooked tofu jjigae.
Eat with her later.
How are you feeling?
I took medicine just now.
I'll cook. Go and rest.
It's okay.
Peek-a-boo! My baby.
Grandma came back because of you.
If not for you, I wouldn't even look at them.
You should start speaking soon so you can scold your dad.
Does it make sense to tell the son to scold his dad?
I'll make sure she stays out of your sight...
and bring you food myself, so eat.
The tofu jjigae tastes good.
I don't have to taste it. I can tell it's bad.
She's such a bad cook.
I should just eat plain rice with kimchi so I don't starve.
This is ridiculous.
Why did I even come back here?
I'm sorry, sir.
I have stuff to take care of at home. I'm really sorry.
You should go out now.
Can you do it without me?
You shouldn't cross paths with Mom.
I'll manage on my own.
Then I'll make it quick, so if Mom says anything...
I'll sing the national anthem 12 times.
Mother, I brought you your meal.
I made fried eggs.
I won't eat anything that you made.
You should eat though.
I said I won't eat anything that you made.
Don't you understand?
Mother, can we talk? Blessing is asleep.
- What on earth is this? - Let's have a drink.
I even made tofu kimchi.
Please have a seat.
Fine, let's drink.
A shot for you...
and one for me.
Cheers.
I can't believe you cooked this up.
Are you going to lash out at me after a few drinks?
How did you know?
It's our first time drinking together.
Anyway, I'm looking to get drunk today.
Please drink, Mother.
I don't know if this is the right thing to do.
Can you pour me a glass?
I'm starting to get worried.
- A single glass isn't enough love. - Go ahead then.
Gosh.
I drank three shots on an empty stomach.
I'm loving the kick.
As if.
You say you don't like me,
so how could I possibly like you?
People are the same.
Mother, we'll end this once and for all.
Either you accept me as your daughter-in-law...
or we go our separate ways.
Today, we'll put an end to it.
All right. Let's do just that.
How will we do it though?
(A Spoonful of Moonlight)
Ye Seul, don't you have a live radio show today?
I see you know what I'm up to.
I'd love to see you at work.
Can I come and see you?
I'm only a rookie myself,
but I'll take you when I can.
Why aren't you coming in?
Right.
Gosh, I'm starving.
(A Spoonful of Moonlight)
Don't you have a live radio show today?
Yes.
I haven't been to a broadcasting station before.
Can I come along?
Don't be ridiculous.
People will laugh if I bring my wife along.
You could say I'm a fan.
The movements seem awkward.
- Will you be home late? - What?
I won't know until later.
(Radio Open Studio)
Ye Seul, today's interview has been pushed to tomorrow.
- Got it. - It's time for you to head in.
- Ye Seul, where are you? - Yes, Director.
I'm at the broadcasting station.
Could we meet once you wrap things up?
I'd like your advice on an audition.
Today?
I'll meet you at the broadcasting station.
Sure thing. But I don't know what you look like.
I can recognize you just fine.
See you later then. I can't wait.
Mother,
you must be upset since I nearly married that jerk.
That's what you keep criticizing me for,
but I did it for financial reasons.
Our whole family can barely scrape 10,000 dollars together,
but he threw around 800,000 dollars.
How many zeroes is that?
I'm over 40 now, so I had no way of generating an income.
So 800,000 dollars for someone as useless as me?
It was enough to make me lose my mind.
Back then,
I would've sold myself to the highest bidder.
I don't want to hear any of that, so cut to the chase.
You agreed to talk after I'm finished.
Today, you'll hear me out.
It's like you're on a mission.
Yes, I'm determined to make you listen.
Mother, hating me will get you nowhere.
You think I'll leave after three months?
As if.
Why would I when I finally go back together with Byun Ho?
No way. For whose benefit?
My love, you wouldn't believe this.
Here I am dealing with my daughter-in-law's drunken frenzy.
Is this your way of ending things once and for all?
Mother.
I'm not drunk at all.
I...
was satisfied with only being Blessing's mom,
but...
raising him made me realize something.
He's so sweet...
and now I want a child of my own.
I want to get pregnant soon...
so that you, me, Byun Ho, Blessing,
and Blessing's sibling...
can take a photo...
and put it up on that wall.
It's why I began IVF treatment.
I'm 43, Mother.
I'm trying with all my might since it's likely my last chance.
You have a child of your own.
I'm a woman too, you know.
Why can't I have a child of my own?
Why can't I?
Hey.
Luck must be written all over my latter years...
because here I am, listening to her drunken words.
Gwang Nam, you've had enough.
Look, it's Lawyer Bae Byun Ho.
Mother,
your son is the best.
His life would've been better off had he not ended up with me.
What can he do when this was in the cards for him?
That's enough.
Hey. Would you like a glass too?
Mother, let's all empty our glasses.
Come on. Hurry.
Bottoms up!
See that? She's been rambling on for three hours.
Mother, I'm the one you should be talking to,
not him.
Just so you know, he has it bad.
He's usually on the denser side,
but he has to prepare your meal and then mine.
Juggling us two and taking care of Blessing...
is exhausting him.
Don't you feel bad that he has to walk on eggshells around us both?
Why give him everything when growing up...
just to make his life miserable now?
- What? - Gwang Nam, that's enough.
You're done here.
Mother, you're nothing without your son.
Sure. I'm nothing without him.
Don't bother talking to a drunken mess.
I'm not drunk.
You're the worst, Mother.
Here. Have a drink instead.
Ms. Ji Poong Nyeon,
please accept this drink.
What... She must be out of her mind.
It's her goal to irk me.
Mother, quiet!
Only I get to talk today.
Mother, hush.
Let's go.
Just wait until you're sober.
Bring it on!
You don't scare me at all.
If you keep this up,
I'll quit being your daughter-in-law.
I've had enough of your childish ways.
I'm sick and tired of this. This isn't right.
This is just wrong!
Bring it on!
(Revolutionary Sisters)
Dae Chang, I'm sorry, but go ahead without me.
I need to meet someone.
Are you Byeol?
We should sleep in separate rooms.
Gwang Nam, is that you?
- Dad... - Were you kicked out?
- Here. - Goodness.
Cheol Soo!
- Promise? - It's our first day as a couple.
I came today because I had something to tell you.
- Here. - What's this?
Gwang Tae, I'm your father.
Your biological father!
