Is this perhaps a love triangle?
- What? - What?
That's ridiculous.
That's not the case.
It's what I guessed.
So what will it be?
Arrest him. I won't settle.
Whether you settle or not is up to you,
but not when it comes to arresting him.
The judge has to sign off on a warrant...
Whatever. See what he did to me?
I was attacked despite being defenseless.
I'll bring my medical report tomorrow,
so take his statement...
and keep him behind bars tonight.
You don't have to tell us how to do our jobs.
That sure sobered me up.
(Episode 7)
Just settle with him, will you?
You're only complicating things.
After what he did to my face?
What's done is done, so make do with the settlement.
The settlement?
It's you I'm crazy about, not the money.
Just tell me the truth.
What's going on between you two?
I already told you that we're not together.
He came to your aid saying he's your neighbor.
Your rooms are one floor apart.
Unit 301 and 401. I've seen enough romance movies.
You'd better watch what you're saying.
You may not have feelings for him,
but men can read other men.
He doesn't see you as just a neighbor.
That's why I will never settle.
I bet we were enemies in a past life.
First the tent bar and now the police station.
Darn, that hurts.
Han Ye Seul.
Is the actress working these days?
Yes, I think she's filming a movie.
What's this about?
The settlement.
You can't leave the station just yet.
We won't.
Did you have to make things worse?
I told you I can't let his family find fault with me.
He now thinks there's something between us.
Well, it made me mad.
Why aren't you fighting back?
What has put you at a disadvantage?
You must've been bossed around.
And you're a meddler.
Our relationship isn't any of your concerns.
He won't settle, so what will you do?
Let him do as he wishes.
Why not consider apologizing?
You only make enough to get by every day.
Your twins were also taken from you,
so why meddle in other people's businesses?
You don't even have the money to settle.
The settlement will be mine to pay...
and my night that'll be spent behind bars.
You say that like the latter is a walk in the park.
You really should watch your temper.
That's rich coming from the woman...
who bashed my head with a frying pan.
If I hadn't, things would've gotten worse.
He would have accused us of gaining up on him.
Your nose must hurt.
My heart hurts more.
Do you know...
how flustered I was when you left without a word?
I, at least, thought you'd be at the wedding.
You all look splendid today.
My gosh.
I was left staring ahead at the altar.
Pyeon Seung, I'm sorry!
It'd be my most humiliating moment ever.
I've never been dumped by a woman before...
especially in public.
I couldn't stand the embarrassment.
I may be broke,
but I'm good-looking, you know.
I know. It would've been a painful experience.
I was in such pain myself...
to consider that of others.
Not even my family knew that I was leaving.
Are you aware that my family...
forced your dad to pay 50,000 dollars for the wedding?
I heard when I got back.
Did it help launch your online clothing store?
As if.
We completely tanked it.
That's the story of my family...
which I'm a member of.
No matter how hard we try,
our family can't be saved.
A dragon can't rise from the ditch.
Only worms do.
To be honest,
I thought you'd save me from this life.
I was hoping to use you as my stepping stone,
but my whole family saw you as one too.
Pyeon Seung, you see...
I didn't realize it...
until you left me for a year.
That you are an amazing woman.
One that is too admirable for me to dare marry.
Gwang Sik, I know I'm being greedy,
but can't you wait for me?
I'll become a man who satisfies you.
Pyeon Seung, let's figure that out together slowly...
and solve the issue at hand first.
Please settle with him.
Unit 301 and I aren't in any relationship.
I'd be crazy to get involved with a father of two kids.
It'll make things easier for me.
I can't afford to lose local customers.
Fine, but on one condition.
Thank you for settling without accepting any money.
I was hoping to get some for you,
but he's in a tough spot financially.
You know that about him?
Isn't it obvious?
He lives in a studio apartment and goes to work at dawn.
Well, just make sure you keep your promise.
Here?
- Should we take it elsewhere? - Hey.
Don't you want to? Okay, fine.
All right. Fine. I'll do it.
Happy now?
Just give me a second. I'm getting a reaction...
from my heart.
Stop this.
Just a second.
- I told you to stop. - Give me ten seconds.
I told you...
to stop!
I told you to stop.
Will you buy me a drink?
Yes, yes, look at me
Don't hide your feelings
What should I look at?
I wasn't talking to you. Don't pick a fight with me.
Will you just walk straight?
Why would you live here when your wife is gone?
That's none of your business.
Hey, just tell me the truth.
Who did it to Maeng Ja? Wasn't it you?
If you're drunk, just go up and sleep.
Even if you did, I can understand you.
Maeng Ja is my sister,
but she shouldn't have gotten married in the first place.
Yes, yes, look at me
Don't hide your feelings
What?
Oh dear.
This is crazy.
I even woke your girl up and sent her to kindergarten.
Cheol Soo is here for breakfast. Get up.
Why do you cook for him? He's not your brother-in-law.
Just change your clothes.
Who do you want to see your ugly buttocks?
What's wrong with my buttocks?
Gosh, it's so uncomfortable.
Darn it.
Cheol Soo.
Someone left a napa cabbage here.
I bought it myself and forgot about it.
What is this thing?
I can't believe this.
There's one more.
Keep your stuff with you.
Will you wash some cabbage leaves? I'll make some wraps.
The cabbage is yellow and looks delicious.
Cabbages are all the same.
Why would you cut a cabbage like when you chop fish?
Dol Se has a vegetable garden. Do you want me to get some from him?
Don't bother. I can find cabbages at the market.
I'll just buy one myself.
Why would you give the cold shoulder to Dol Se?
You're not like that to others.
Did he do anything wrong to you?
No.
Sometimes you hate someone for no reason.
He's just a pitiful guy.
He always talks about the big cuckoo, small cuckoo.
I guess he has a secret that he can't talk about.
He'd tell me anything but that.
Why is Gwang Sik running a restaurant?
She didn't even cook before.
Tell her to prepare for the civil service exam again.
You tell her yourself.
She would never listen to me.
There are the two hardest things in the world.
One is putting my idea in someone else's head, and...
The other is putting someone else's money in my pocket.
I'm glad you know that. Just close the door.
You should meet with your children once.
They say parents are the sinners.
You should offer your hand first.
People of our age used to cave in to their parents,
but it's not like that for kids these days. We should cave in.
Parents with no money even have to beg for forgiveness.
(Dongseo Police Station)
I asked you all to come here...
to give you a report on the progress of our investigation...
and ask for your cooperation.
Why can't you catch the culprit when there's a witness?
That was a long time ago. It's been over a year.
It's been dragging on for too long.
I know.
We all have been in torture for over a year.
Please catch the criminal.
We are very frustrated as well.
You all are the family of the victim,
but you can't be excluded from the list of suspects yet.
So we'd like you to cooperate with us.
It can be anything minor.
Just tell us anything that could be a clue.
Just anything about Oh Maeng Ja.
If you know anything, please let us know about it.
Did you guys ever have a dream about Mom before?
I did twice.
I dreamed about her just once.
It was right after Mom died.
What did she say?
I just woke up while I was going somewhere with Mom and you guys.
I just work up while crying.
I don't even remember what it was about.
- What about you? - I had a few dreams.
I asked Mom who the killer was, but she wouldn't tell me.
I wish she would tell me in my dream.
She must be devastated.
I guess it's not true that there are spirits.
If there was Mom's spirit, she would've come and told us.
I wish the whole thing was a dream.
I want to wake up from the dream and forget all about it.
Why don't we tell the detective about it?
A suitcase?
Yes. My dad treasures the suitcase. I'm sure he has something in it.
And he has two locks on the door.
She's right. You should open the suitcase.
I scalded the roof of my mouth and tongue...
You scalded the roof of your mouth and tongue, so you can't talk?
- You had budae jjigae? - Yes.
You scalded your mouth, so we should eat some other time?
Okay.
She's so cool.
This is so nice.
What?
Hello, sir. Hi, guys.
Hey, punk.
(Chairman Heo Pung Jin)
Call me Chairman.
I've never seen a chairman in the flesh in life.
So I just can't get used to it.
Then...
- call me bro. - Bro?
They are more like my bros.
Forget it.
I don't think you're here to see how I'm doing.
What do you want?
My mom is in hospital.
My memory is better than you think.
She passed away last year.
She's my birth mom.
I'm talking about my stepmom who raised me.
You're so peculiar.
Aren't you tired?
No. I'm not tired at all.
You know what?
Your face looks like...
How should I put it?
Well...
You look like a man with a story.
Is that a compliment or an insult?
I'm not sure, Chairman.
I think it's an insult.
Of course, it's a compliment.
A man without a story is like an empty desert.
He's not attractive at all.
Please lend me some money.
Pung Jin, I'm starving.
If I die of hunger, our parents up above will be so sad.
Pung Jin, can I go back home?
If you don't want to see me, I will be sure to stay out of your sight.
Pung Jin.
I feel like I'm going to die soon.
When I die, bury me in a sunny spot.
Pung Jin.
Pung Jin?
Hello?
Darn you. Live well and eat well, jerk.
Order jjajangmyeon.
A double portion.
Yes, boss.
The smell of meat.
Hello.
How much?
Will you stop it? You're so cheap.
Pretend you didn't see me.
You came once a day. Now it's twice?
It doesn't cost you anything. Can't I smell all I want?
Sell tteokbokki or something.
You look perfectly able. Why live like this?
I'll start charging you next time.
Are you insane?
(Touching incurs immediate action)
(Eat and be arrested, I'm watching!)
What? What do you want?
Did you steal food again?
Why would I steal...
I didn't steal any food.
If you didn't steal anything,
you must be up to no good.
That woman's outside.
The one who needed a fake boyfriend.
What?
(Yesong Gosiwon)
Darn it.
Why isn't he outside yet?
Happy birthday.
Shoot.
(Today's Menu: Buckwheat jelly in cold broth)
Hey. Did you have lunch?
No. I'm here to boost your sales.
You don't have to.
Sit. I'll make you buckwheat jelly with broth.
Why is it buckwheat jelly? You almost beat my face to jelly.
It's called jelly, but it's good.
I'll make you some.
Find a job?
Yes.
I think you should get a job that pays you a regular salary.
I asked Gwang Tae to find me a part-time job.
Not a part-time job.
Why are you two so alike?
I'm not like Gwang Tae.
I think you're just the same.
You two took turns coming last in your class.
The worst students hung out together...
and got useless degrees.
Pyeon Seung. You're my sister's friend,
so I'll say this because you're like a brother to me.
You need to pull yourself together.
You turn 30 next year.
I'm still just 29.
You work hard in your 20s and 30s to settle down in your 40s and 50s.
What you make in your 40s and 50s lasts you until your 70s and 80s.
If you don't do anything now,
you become jelly when you're older.
I won't eat. Did you have to make jelly?
Why not help your sister with her shopping mall?
You have a good sense of fashion and like to dress up.
Do you get what I mean?
You're talking all weird today.
You hated it when I talked like you were older.
But I am older than you.
You're my younger sister's friend.
You're the only one who cares about me.
My sweet little wife.
Good for you.
Do you want to eat?
Unit 301. Stay and eat.
No, thanks.
So what if they kiss or pinch each other's cheeks?
What does that have to do with me?
I should just do the washing.
Unit 301, are you home?
Yes!
Hello, Ms. Oh.
Would you like some? I steamed some potatoes.
I felt hungry right about now.
Thanks for looking out for me. I'll enjoy this.
Ms. Oh, there is exercise equipment on the roof.
- Can I use them? - Of course, you can.
Can I hang out my laundry too?
Yes.
Why did you just leave without eating?
Seeing that punk ruins my appetite.
I might turn him to jelly again if he gets on my nerves.
I shouldn't get involved when I can't pay to settle.
Today's menu is buckwheat jelly, right?
Your husband seemed to enjoy it a lot.
Being sarcastic must be a habit of yours.
Didn't you start it?
Anyway, you agreed to eat at my place for a month.
Come and eat.
I have a debt to pay.
Are you getting back with him?
What?
There might not be many options,
but you can't get back with a cheater.
Even I think his whole family is a train wreck.
I'm speaking out of concern.
Why do you still have feelings for a fool who cheats...
with a girl he met in a game?
Don't go and ruin your own life.
From what the landlady said,
you went to a pretty great university,
and you passed the civil service exam on your first try.
Did you fall for an idiot like that again...
because he hugged you once?
Who hugged...
What we did is none of your business.
You whacked my head with a pan. Shouldn't you ask how it's doing?
I have this big a bump!
I'm sorry I whacked your head with a pan,
but why care whether I divorce or get back with my husband?
This is so offensive.
If you have the time to mind others,
care more about your twins.
Don't make me mind you, then.
What?
How can I not mind when you're always on my mind?
It's so annoying.
Hey.
What?
You said you're appeasing him so he doesn't find fault with you.
You couldn't get enough of him.
Do you enjoy luring men left and right?
By making them pity you?
What do you take me for?
Fill in the month's worth of meals and be done.
We had a deal.
Don't worry!
I'll eat enough to cost you a month in one go!
Where were you yesterday?
I had to unclog a drain and get rid of some rusty water.
Call me over if there's a job so that I can make some extra money.
But you don't like doing manual labor.
Your hair seems to be regrowing.
Really?
Yes.
What used to be an empty field is now denser.
How was this possible? Share your trade secret with me.
I've used all shampoos that are good for new hair growth,
so I don't know which one actually helped.
Your skin also seems to be smoother.
What have you been eating?
One mask a day.
You're drinking a carton of milk per day?
I mean I put on a face mask every day.
They've been hydrating my skin and giving it a glow.
You should try them yourself.
As if I'd do anything that embarrassing.
Who cares if they do when they do the trick?
We can't help it, you know.
Even men must have a skincare regimen at an old age.
No one likes to see wrinkles on one's face.
Unless you have money, that is.
I guess you're right. Money makes up for being ugly.
Look.
We're not that many years apart,
but my skin seems definitely younger.
As if. Mine is better, you know.
I've been known to have fair skin.
Should we put that to a vote?
- Ma'am? - Dol Se.
Stop that.
You have a tendency to tease people, you know.
Gosh, it's only a joke.
Anyway, keep watch.
If only one was able to invent a pill that promotes hair growth.
Tell me about it.
That and one for the prostate gland...
would be bought by practically everyone.
It's a dream of mine to have a side part.
Why haven't the smart people come up with one already?
- She's gone! - Gone?
That woman's gone.
Where did she go?
You're the reason why I lost track of her.
Why does a man need to doll himself up anyway?
Are you kidding me? How is this my fault?
You're the one who first mentioned my hair.
Unbelievable!
I should just pull all that new hair out.
Goodness. Welcome.
- She must be your daughter. - That's right.
You must get your good looks from your mom.
She's not exactly the pretty type.
Of course, she is.
So what can I get you?
These came in today.
You get 3 for 10 dollars, but I'll add in an extra.
Really? Then, I'll take those...
and mackerel pike which my daughter loves.
Here you go.
What's the matter?
Is there something on my face?
I feel like I've seen you before.
You haven't been at my store before though.
She must've seen you when she walked by.
- Have a good day then. - Sure.
Have a good day too.
Were you waiting for me?
I guess.
Goodness. It seems like...
the burn on the roof of your mouth is healed now.
Somewhat.
I thought about it...
and it's cold-hearted to pay for meals in turns.
Let's forget I already bought a meal first...
and play a game where the loser buys ramyeon.
- Okay. - We'll also speak casually...
- since we're the same age. - Okay.
You're no match for me.
- Let's go! - Darn.
- What... - I had another.
Do you perhaps like money?
Must I even answer that?
It's not just money itself. Anything that's like it...
Girls usually pretend not to like money, but not you.
Why lie when it's the truth?
Nice.
This world is filled with people like me,
so I don't get why my family is on my case.
My sister spent her whole life...
worrying about what'll happen tomorrow.
Just think about it.
Why spend today worrying about tomorrow?
You're right. It's a new view on life.
Do you know what she ended up doing though?
She runs a diner now. Unbelievable, right?
A diner? Where?
My dream is to date a girl whose parents run a diner.
That's not you though, I guess,
since your sister is the owner.
Eat up.
We're here to conduct a sanitary inspection.
Gwang Sik?
Is this your place?
Yes, it turned out that way.
Long time no see.
- The rumors aren't true then. - Rumors?
What rumors?
A murder happened in the family...
and that your father was arrested as the killer.
It's what everyone's been saying.
And after your wedding was canceled,
you and your sisters went to live up in the woods.
I didn't know you opened a diner here.
Are you back from your life up in the woods?
I never left the city, so no.
Anyway, hurry up with the inspection.
The dumpster shouldn't be out here.
You know that from the days at the office.
It should've been moved before the inspection.
Got it. I'll make sure it's moved.
I'm no longer your junior colleague, so don't be informal with me.
Your place needs to be on the watch-list...
which means we'll be seeing each other often.
Until next time, then.
Serves her right for quitting the civil servant job.
Running a diner isn't for everyone.
Her pride is too strong for this.
This is just wrong.
Darn it.
The food isn't ready yet.
I'm not here to eat.
- Here. - What's that?
It's what I owe you for all the meals I ate.
- Sorry? - Even though you offered...
the meals for free,
I was going to pay you back after a month.
Since you find me bothersome, I've decided to stay away.
I apologize for meddling.
There was no particular reason.
I guess I thought our lives were entwined.
We randomly met a few times last year...
and now we're living in the same building.
I thought that meant something...
and it's true I got concerned.
Not because you are the opposite sex.
Just as one person to another.
That's all.
I felt bad for you...
and wished you luck.
Even I can't tell why I feel this way,
but at the end of the day...
What I truly want is for you to end it with that jerk.
Good luck with the diner.
Your food is delicious.
Also, those babies aren't mine.
I've never even been married before.
Are you just getting home?
- Yes. Are you headed somewhere? - The corner store.
You must be exhausted. Head home and get some rest.
Gwang Sik.
What does "bbosiraegi" mean?
Is it some kind of dried vegetable or crumbs?
No.
That's slang used to describe someone cute. Why?
I read it in a book.
Anyway, head home.
Cute, my foot.
There's been a change in your dating life.
You haven't been dating multiple men.
That's because I hit the jackpot.
He drives a different high-end car every day.
They're probably rentals.
No way.
I bet he has cars lined up in his garage...
from which he picks from every day.
He probably doesn't even have an extra pair of underwear.
As if I care.
He can be in slippers and tracksuits...
as long as he drives a different car every day.
I bet ten dollars that he's broke.
You should hear the arrogance in his voice.
It shows how he was born into a rich family.
Those who are born rich have this aura to them.
Gwang Tae, get a grip on yourself.
No, I'd rather not.
Don't tell me you believe...
everything he writes on social media.
Those who are ashamed of their actual lives...
paint their lives with lies to seduce other people.
Users let it slide as a social agreement.
You partake in those lies yourself.
I didn't meet him on social media though.
Besides, I'm a good judge of people and I know he's different.
Then do a background check on him.
I bet you paid for all the meals rather than going Dutch.
You won't be in your 20s forever...
and being young won't get you far anymore.
If you only get older without doing anything,
you'll face a day when that age humiliates you.
People asking your age will be most terrifying.
If you don't get your act together,
you'll end up as someone old and meaningless.
Who are you to keep nagging me?
Worry more about yourself, will you?
That's rich coming from someone who married Pyeon Seung.
What?
You sound exactly like Dad, you know.
I heard you and Pyeon Seung are getting back together.
He's been grinning from ear to ear.
What I regret the most is the fact that I laid...
an involuntary bridge between you two.
If I could, I'd gladly stab my feet...
for taking him to your office that day.
He's a poor soul too, you know.
So you'll take him back?
That's not the case.
He says he has you under his control.
Gwang Tae, this is for only you to know.
I'm trying to be smart about this.
He'll only leave me if he finds success in life,
so I'm trying to help by being nice to him.
Because of the family he grew up in,
he wanted to change his life by marrying up.
No wonder his name means "free-rider" in Korean.
Once he has it good, he won't bother with me.
I'm five years older than him.
He'll ask for a divorce himself once he starts making money.
The law says I have no other way,
so I'll have to be patient.
Pyeon Seung can't know this though.
Don't you tell him.
I won't.
I can't believe you left an envelope full of money though.
A deal is a deal.
So would you rather have the rest of your meals...
or have your money back?
I decline both options.
This is mine.
No, it's mine.
(Chinese in Paradise)
I got it from a Chinese restaurant...
that promotes speedy delivery.
Unit 401!
It's all right. I managed to live.
Goodness, my Ttu Gi.
There you go. All right.
Gosh.
I see she wrote in her diary.
- Bong Ja. - Yes?
"I have to find a way to change Aunt Bong Ja's mind."
It's how I can stay with her.
I have fun at kindergarten and have friends now.
My life is finally enjoyable.
What's more to life, right?
This is more than enough.
Did you make her write this?
You know she's not the type to be ordered around.
I don't know if she's cheeky or smart.
She's the greatest.
The fact that I had a child like her is a miracle.
She must've lived her life walking on eggshells...
to know how adults think and feel.
She won't be too much of a handful for you to raise.
Enough with the nonsense.
What about the father?
I don't know where he is.
I had lost my will to live...
when she appeared as my savior.
Out of the blue, like a bolt of lightning.
Why not compare her to thunder instead?
I guess I wanted to be loved.
My parents never showed me any,
so I used men to fill that void.
It didn't work though...
which is why I moved on from one man to another.
I can understand our dad, but not our mom.
We were her adorable children.
Mom never once hugged or patted us...
even though she gave birth to us.
I know.
But still, it was my lifelong dream...
to hear warm words from her...
or eat a warm meal she cooked for us herself.
Even after all these years,
my heart aches when I think about it.
It was as if we grew up without a mom.
Between us two, you had it worse.
I wouldn't have been able to bear it...
which is why I found you relentless for keeping it together.
I guess I wasn't relentless enough to end my life...
seeing how I'm still alive today.
I'm sure it wasn't easy for mom.
She had only given birth to girls,
and her husband was a drunk who gambled all the time.
She worked the fish stand all day...
and then took her stress out on us by beating us up.
So her solution to that...
was to have an affair with the pulppang seller?
Tell me about it.
I remember how she suddenly began to buy pulppangs for us to eat.
If only she kept it to a minimum.
She always bought enough for us to live on.
I still don't eat pulppangs, you know.
I'm sick and tired of them.
She even bought some that went bad.
It had me going to the bathroom all night.
Whenever she argued with him,
we paid the price.
Did she love him that much?
I doubt that was the case. It was more because she was lonely.
She then moved on to the twisted doughnut seller.
I still don't eat those, you know.
The twisted doughnuts were delicious though.
Can you understand why she did what she did?
I've been telling myself that it prevented her from going crazy.
Kids should be more understanding of their parents' dating life.
How is that dating? She was having affairs.
Maeng Ja was just like her.
Don't her daughters know what she was like?
- No. - Then tell them.
She's dead now, anyway.
Don't you dare.
We know how painful it is, so why make them suffer too?
Then, she got what she deserved.
Bong Ja, who do you think killed her though?
They say the killer is always someone close.
The old man in the basement unit, you...
I'm excluded since I was in prison,
but there are also her three daughters.
It's got to be one of you.
It wasn't you though, was it?
When exactly were you sent to prison?
You know, right around the time of her accident.
Gosh, we should go to bed.
I'm exhausted.
Who is it?
Mr. Lee Cheol Soo. I'm Detective Seo Sung Dae.
What are you doing here this time of night?
Did you catch the culprit?
Not yet.
You went to bed early.
I'm sorry, but do you have the suitcase here?
What suitcase?
The suitcase that everyone knows of.
- I need to take a look at it. - No, you can't.
What makes you want to go through my belongings?
That's because you are the number one suspect now.
- And there was a report. - A report?
I was told the culprit was a woman.
There is a chance you might have dressed like a woman.
Who said that?
All your daughters.
They said they were going to report you.
Wait. This is wrong.
You can't do this.
They need a search warrant to do so.
Are you sure?
Okay, Byun Ho.
Thank you.
The law says you can't search my house without a search warrant.
According to my son-in-law who's a lawyer.
Blessing is running a fever.
Darn it.
You're here.
How is Blessing?
Are you sure we don't need a doctor?
If I take him to the emergency room, he will suffer even more.
I'll bring down the fever...
and take him to a doctor in the morning.
Let me do it.
All right.
(Princess)
Don't answer it. It will wake Blessing up.
(Princess)
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
It finally went down.
Well done, Blessing. Peekaboo.
And you did a good job too.
Do you want to take a nap in my room?
No. I should go.
I didn't tell my wife that I was leaving.
Call me if something happens to Blessing.
Bye, Blessing.
Don't fall sick.
You tool.
Idiot.
You were up.
Where have you been?
I went out to exercise.
I didn't feel good, so I ran along the river.
I feel much better now.
You're hiding something from me.
What am I hiding?
Why would you take a taxi to the river for a jog?
I couldn't walk to the river.
You could've jogged in the neighborhood.
Why did you have to go to the river at this hour of the night?
It doesn't feel good when I jog in the neighborhood.
I have a strange feeling.
Don't doubt me because of your feelings.
See? Where else would I go in sneakers and a sweatsuit?
- Give me a break. - You're being strange.
You feel so far away.
Be honest with me.
Am I not supposed to exercise when I want to?
Honestly, I've had hard times for the past year.
It was so hard to walk on eggshells around you.
After Mother passed away,
you just cried every day in depression.
How do you think I felt?
I felt bad for you at first,
but I didn't even want to come home later.
I didn't have any pleasure in life. But I'm also a human being.
Do you know how I felt living with my mother-in-law?
You discussed everything only with your mom and did as she said.
Did you ever think of me at least once?
You didn't even cook kimchi jjigae or doenjang jjigae for me.
- You talk about food again? - It's just a figure of speech.
I've lived like that for 15 years. Now it's your turn to understand me.
You should at least think of me.
Can you be a little considerate?
And stop whining like a baby.
Gosh, I'm stiff.
(A Spoonful of Moonlight)
What?
Why is it thrown away when it looks just fine?
You are just like me.
Let's live together from now on, Teddy Bear.
Ttu Gi, if I go somewhere, can you live with your aunt?
Where are you going?
Are you going back to prison?
No. I'm done with prison.
I even quit eating bread.
I'm thinking about going somewhere to make money.
When will you come back?
It will take a while.
Just be nice to your aunt.
Can I come with you?
You said you like your aunt.
But I can't like her as much as I like you.
Sometimes you act like an immature child.
Don't go to make money.
I'll make a lot of money when I grow up.
You're so sweet, Ttu Gi.
My sweet girl.
I don't understand why people throw away things that are just fine.
What did you pick up this time?
You're well off, but you're so stingy.
Why would you gather garbage like that when you own a building?
That's how I ended up owning a building.
I can't blow a bundle like you.
The building is new. Don't be so pathetic.
You found all your stuff on the streets, didn't you?
Throw them all away.
You stingy fool.
She could buy a building because she was stingy.
She's right. You're even worse than Ttu Gi.
Oh, right. You should take Ttu Gi to a sauna tonight.
Why? What are you going to do without us?
Okay, Auntie.
I'll go take a warm bath there.
Did you tell the kids to come tonight?
Yes. I just told them that I want to have dinner with them.
Cheol Soo, you should be nice to them tonight.
Don't be so blunt.
Okay.
And don't say what it was like when you were young.
They are so sick of it that they don't even drink latte.
Young kids call people like you old fossils and hate them.
I just do that to my children.
You know how I feel.
And stop saying things like that.
Just get to the point and speak in detail.
How can I when I can't think of the word?
It's at the tip of my tongue, but it just won't come out.
How bad must it be for an ex-Korean teacher to talk that way?
I guess.
When I'm in a bind, I struggle too.
Taeng Ja and Ttu Gi went to the sauna.
- Auntie. - Auntie.
Do as we discussed.
Let's leave.
Gwang Nam. Gwang Sik.
You're here already, so stay.
Weren't we going to eat with you?
Have a meal with your dad.
For my sake, will you?
I steamed some monkfish. It's nice and spicy.
It's monkfish. Your favorite.
- Let's go inside. - But...
How many years has it been since we all got together?
Gwang Tae's graduation was the last time.
That's right. We went to a Chinese restaurant...
and had jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk.
Cheol Soo.
I'm not the killer. Let's eat.
It's weird because no one's talking.
Gwang Nam, how's the food?
It's edible.
It's good, Auntie.
Cheol Soo, say something.
Gwang Nam, have a baby before you're too old.
Oh, my gosh, Cheol Soo.
I won't eat.
You used to refuse to eat over nothing as a kid.
You're still the same. Aren't you too old for that?
Eat or not, that's up to you.
At least try.
There are good doctors.
Neither of us likes kids.
And kids are just work.
I don't want to have to cut my career short,
I don't want to lose my life, and I don't want to lose my figure.
Kids cost money to raise, and who will raise it?
Which of those applies to you?
None of it.
(Dol Se)
I understand young couples these days and I feel for them.
They can't have kids because there's no one to care for them,
and they hesitate because of the cost of education.
What's your issue?
You should consider your husband too.
Who cares about your figure after you pass 40,
and what career do you have to worry about?
This is wrong.
- I'm childless because of you. - What?
We're eating. Pick a nice topic.
You had a boring life.
Why would we want to follow your lead?
Mom always said we're the reason her life's a mess.
That kids are a nuisance.
She taught us that kids are the root of unhappiness.
Would I want to have kids?
You wouldn't have married if it weren't for me.
I basically ruined your lives.
Your mom taught you wrong.
Don't blame her!
It's your fault she died in that pitiful manner.
You're rolling your eyes again.
You never respected your elders...
and rolled your eyeballs whenever you got angry.
Do you think we like sitting across from you?
Would we want to eat...
with someone who could be Mom's killer?
Gwang Nam, the police cleared him. Let it go.
Finish your food, Cheol Soo.
Gwang Nam, eat up.
I cooked the monkfish for you.
Gwang Tae, quit working part-time.
Not again.
Even dogs are left alone to eat.
Are you a dog?
When someone asks about you, I'm lost at what to say.
I can't keep saying you're studying to become a civil servant.
Stop looking for part-time jobs and find a decent full-time one.
Times have changed.
Times, times.
One would think you're talking about a newspaper.
She's trying to be funny.
It's not that easy to find a job these days.
Since when were you so interested in my life?
Why nag when you don't expect much from me?
Did you ever give me a reason to expect anything?
You could've stuck with sports and competed in the Olympic Games.
(Dol Se)
I'm talking. Let's talk later.
Is he busy?
I called to invite him over.
Who?
Some person.
Why did you buy eel?
So you can gain some energy to beat me up.
You can barely hit anything now.
I can take you on any time.
I'm letting you off, so remember your place.
Don't use up all your energy. It's a sore and sad sight.
I'll have to care for you.
I won't leech off you.
Get some more eel.
Why? To feed that fool?
Yes.
I want to feed my favorite some good food.
Oh, come on.
I bet he eats better food without a care for you.
Why do you think of him?
He's your older brother. Don't badmouth him.
You must rely on each other when I'm gone.
No, thanks.
Not long from now, you'll see the painful truth.
Wait and see how this loser son does.
What is there to wait and see?
Work your bum off and you'll still make nothing compared to Bae Seul.
Fight and struggle your whole life and you'll not reach his foot.
- Bring it back. - Why eat food...
bought by your useless son?
You'll end up like Hwang Mang Tae.
Now.
The extra eel isn't for your brother.
It's for the friend I called.
He aged so much recently.
You have a horrible temper, you know.
Everyone says I got it from you.
Everyone who?
All the neighbors.
Mom said so and so did Hwang Mang Tae.
- Hwang Mang Tae too. - Yes.
You liar.
You're not like me. You don't have double eyelids.
Mine are hidden in folds. Look.
Those aren't even folds.
My gosh.
Gwang Sik, take the exam again.
Quit the struggling diner.
It's just wrong.
I didn't become a civil servant because I wanted to.
I did it for the pension and because people said it was a good job.
Running a diner doesn't suit you perfectly,
but it's important she does what she wants to do.
She has some regulars and is doing okay.
If it works out, I'll offer delivery...
and sell meal kits in my name.
You don't like your name.
Not as Lee Gwang Sik.
Under my own brand.
What about him, then?
I saw you together at the diner.
Will you get back together with him?
No. She has no intention of doing that.
Even if she did, I'd order food to stop her.
Why would you get involved?
Gwang Sik, you answer.
I'll deal with it.
I don't know what you're thinking.
What's your plan?
Will you just own a restaurant?
I'll save up and leave.
- Where to? - Gwang Sik.
You'll go abroad again like last time?
I have plans. And a goal.
You're running a diner just to travel abroad?
Like people who flock to airports on holidays?
When asked what their dream is,
they all say it's to travel abroad.
Is making money selling food to travel abroad your plan and goal?
Back then,
I was exhausted.
I'd never had fun in 34 years...
and working at an early age made me age prematurely.
Dad, you said you don't have hobbies.
Neither do I.
Do you think I went abroad just to get some fresh air?
Mom was killed by goodness knows who.
You were the main suspect.
I'd registered as a married woman and the wedding never happened,
and the combined rumors spread at my workplace.
I had no other choice.
I was afraid.
That I'd do something dreadful.
That I'd jump from a roof or from a bridge.
I left so I wouldn't end up hanging myself.
I left to stay alive.
In deserts and fields,
until my legs became double the size,
until my feet had blisters,
until I had cramps, and my toenails fell out,
I cut out the corns and calluses...
I kept on walking until my feet bled.
Through rain, snow, and storms,
I refused to think.
I walked for every waking moment.
I couldn't communicate, I ran out of water,
and I was in danger many times.
But still, I kept walking.
Why do you think I did that?
Because that's what it took to stay alive.
I walked because I wanted to live!
Are you all right?
I am now.
After walking all day, I greeted night in the desert.
My mind suddenly cleared though...
just like the blue night sky.
Although I was alone, I was hardly lonely.
I realized I had always been alone since birth...
which is why...
being alone encased me with freedom.
Life didn't scare me anymore...
and neither did death.
That's something we don't learn even after living 50 to 60 years.
You must've gone through a lot.
You'll never be anywhere close to your brother's level.
You barely make enough money to get by each day,
so who are you to meddle in my life?
It's me.
The offer from before.
- I'll do it. - Are you sure?
I wasn't going to,
but I guess I have no choice if I'm to prove my worth.
- Get in. - No.
- Get in! - I said I don't want to.
Why are you doing this?
You can't do this, Ms. Shin.
Let's solve this through words.
I can no longer wait to register our son's birth.
He'll be registered as my family.
What did you just say?
My heart's still pounding.
They seemed pretty close.
The woman tried to get out,
but Byun Ho kept trying to hug and kiss her.
He seemed to be in love with her!
You haven't told Gwang Nam, have you?
She'd go crazy if she knew.
What do we do about this?
(Lawyer Bae Byun Ho)
(Sister-in-law Gwang Sik)
How's the diner coming along?
It's all right.
I asked to see you today for a reason.
I'll get straight to the point. Are you having an affair?
What?
What do you mean?
Why would I do that?
Someone saw you outside the borough office.
You were hugging and kissing another woman in your car.
It wasn't a kiss.
But I had my reasons though.
You had a reason to be with another woman?
Have you told your sister?
Not yet.
You're probably aware of what'll happen if she finds out.
Byun Ho, I won't ask you again.
Please end it with her.
There's no quiet way out of this though...
which is killing me too.
How can you be so irresponsible?
One should know how to clean up the mess they made.
I won't tell you again.
You know the law will find you at fault.
I'm a lawyer, so of course.
Then end it before Gwang Nam finds out.
I won't turn a blind eye on this.
When I turned 45,
I thought I no longer had the chance to be a father.
But I've seen my child...
and even cut his umbilical cord.
I know my child is out there somewhere,
so how can I ignore that?
Hold on a second.
Are you saying...
you have a child?
So...
that woman had your child?
Is that it?
(Revolutionary Sisters)
- Taeng Ja ran away. - You dare leave your child behind?
Check the trash can in the bathroom.
You live at a nice place.
Order something to eat while I freshen up.
You brought a woman home and partied too loud.
I'm headed to my sister's diner. The meal will be free today.
Follow him. There's something fishy about him.
Register him as your child.
I'll take legal responsibility if it comes to that.
You're willing to give up your right to ever see him again?
