- Hello. - Congratulations.
Thank you for coming.
- You look beautiful. - You're so pretty.
- I'll take the photo. - Okay.
1, 2, 3.
Hello.
I'm an acquaintance of your husband.
I see.
Please look over here.
Have you ever seen her before?
Yes.
Of course, I've seen her before.
Mother.
Ms. Ji, what kind of a guy was Song Ah's ex-husband?
Don't even get me started. He was a complete piece of trash.
He made Song Ah become a housewife.
But he'd still go around having fun.
And that psycho never let her visit me even during the holidays.
He was born into a rich family,
so I could understand that he looked down on his poor mother-in-law.
But if I think about the way he treated Song Ah...
I heard he was never a good husband.
You got that right.
I never even got to slap him before they got a divorce.
- That jerk. - If you ever see him outside,
you should totally beat that guy into a pulp.
Wait until I run into him.
I'm going to beat him up until he's covered in bruises.
That darn punk.
But because she split up with that jerk,
we were able to become neighbors,
and you're able to live with Song Ah.
She's right. You know what they say, right?
"When one door closes, another door opens."
Ma Eum, I'm impressed that you know that.
You're right. A door closed, but a new one opened.
Ma Eum's right.
Song Ah always looked so down,
but she looks a lot brighter now.
She's a real beauty.
- Right? She's pretty, isn't she? - Yes.
Kyung In told me everything.
It must've been really hard for you.
I always feel apologetic toward my mom.
I tore her heart apart...
by losing my sister when I was young.
And after I got married, my daughter ended up dying early.
And now, I even got a divorce.
I always did nothing but disappoint my mom.
I also used to think that way.
I felt responsible for my wife's death.
I felt so sorry and didn't think I deserved to be happy.
That's how I felt.
But then, I thought my wife would be really sad...
if she saw me living a really unhappy life.
I also recently started thinking that way.
If my daughter's watching from above,
she would want me to be happy, right?
Of course.
So from now on, I'm going to live a happy life.
Great.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Why won't he answer my calls?
I get that he's having fun with Ae Young,
but I haven't heard from him in a week.
Has he lost his mind?
He doesn't even read my texts either.
That's what life is
Everyone comes empty-handed
We all live lives
That are like novels
Do not be disappointed in yourself
You can't be good at everything
It doesn't matter as long as tomorrow looks brighter than today
Life is all about the present moment
Amor fati
Jump!
Amor fati
Young Man is unbelievable. He can't come today or tomorrow.
What if he never comes back?
That poor guy.
Wait.
I should check up on him and see what he's doing right now.
No, I'll make a video call.
He's dead.
(Eun Ji)
Life is all about the present moment
Amor fati
Is he crazy? At this hour of the day?
My gosh, I can't believe I'm seeing this.
What a complete jerk.
What is he doing?
- Eun Ji. - My gosh, you startled me.
Why are you so startled?
What? No... No, it's nothing.
What about Young Man? Have you heard from him?
I'm sure he's doing fine.
Why don't you try calling him?
We need to know when Ae Young's coming...
so we can prepare stuff for her including a nice meal.
A meal?
Mom, just forget about it.
It's her first time coming here to greet us.
You can't be like that.
We need to welcome her and make things official...
so that your grandfather will have no choice...
but to accept her as his granddaughter-in-law.
What's wrong with you? What's that supposed to mean?
Mom, if you just stay patient and wait,
he'll come home soon.
He'll bring Ae Young or some stray dog if he needs to.
But there really is no point in worrying about him.
What? What's that supposed to mean?
You know something, don't you?
Why are you always so pessimistic about your brother?
Let's just say I have a hunch.
Song Ah didn't get divorced. She just dodged a huge misfortune.
Like this. She was liberated.
I'd even like to congratulate her as a woman.
You keep taking Song Ah's side.
You know something, don't you?
Something's up with Young Man, isn't there?
Of course.
What? What's up with him?
Don't hide anything. Tell me everything.
Mom, you'd better brace yourself.
Why?
The fact that he's been out of touch for this long...
already implies that something's wrong.
Can't you think that far?
That's why I'm asking you what's going on.
He's not even answering my calls.
Well, I don't know.
Something's fishy.
Eun Ji sounds as if she knows something.
Did something really happen to Young Man?
Hey, get out of here.
- You're drunk. Let's go. - Just get out of here.
Why am I not getting drunk?
And dancing with women isn't even exciting.
I do need to go home,
but I can't seem to muster up my courage.
What did you take?
I took the subway. The parking lot is cramped here.
I brought my motorcycle. I'll give you a ride back home.
A motorcycle?
But we need to take the main road.
If I drive slow, it won't be that scary.
I'll be working at an office starting from tomorrow,
so today's going to be my last day riding the motorcycle.
You should give it a try.
Okay.
And it wasn't that scary last time.
Then let's go. It's parked over there.
Give me your bag.
Here.
- Hold on tight. - Okay.
My gosh, this is crazy.
I asked you to bring my car.
Hey, don't push me!
What a rude pair of jerks.
Where's your house?
Hannam-dong.
Bye, driver! Bye!
My gosh.
Come and greet me!
My gosh, darn it. Grandpa!
I'm home! Young Man's home!
Your grandson, Young Man, is here!
Young Man's home.
Young Man's home!
My goodness.
- Open... - Oh, gosh.
Sesame!
It opened.
I said, "Open Sesame", and it really opened.
I wonder if our house is under a magic spell.
My gosh, how funny.
Grandpa!
- What? - He's completely wasted.
Where... Where has he been?
Mom! I'm home!
Young Man's home!
My gosh.
Grandpa! I'm home!
Young Man's home!
Young Man, what's going on?
Have you gone mad? I knew you'd end up doing this.
What's all this noise?
Grandpa, I'm home.
I came back to Korea just fine.
Young Man, will you please get to your senses?
Who's that?
That's Eun Seok.
Will you wake up?
What is the matter with you?
Grandpa, don't hate me so much.
You see, I got a second divorce!
What?
What are you talking about?
Mom, I'm sorry.
Ae Young won't be coming.
You darn punk!
- Gosh, that's hot! - Dad!
Get out of here right now!
Dad.
Imagine how upset he must've been to come home all drunk like this.
How can he be so incorrigible?
Get that thing out of my house!
Don't treat me like I'm some kind of an object!
I'm your grandson, Young Man,
who respects and loves you!
I don't ever recall having a grandson like you.
Come here. Come on.
Are you okay?
Let me go!
Eun Seok, he's fine. I'll help him out.
Let's go to your room. Come on.
Hurry.
My gosh, get over here. You little punk.
My goodness.
I missed my room so much.
Mom.
Do you know how much I missed this room?
You little punk. What happened?
Where's Ae Young? And where were you?
Forget about Ae Young.
She has no right to be your daughter-in-law.
Song Ah is 10 million times better.
What did you just say?
What are you saying?
The dress shirt looks amazing, and so does your necktie.
Did Song Ah really pick these out for you?
Yes. If I didn't run into her,
I'd still be lost in the department store.
I told you to have dinner with her.
Why did you come home right after coffee?
She insisted on eating dinner at home.
She really has a great personality.
I can't believe her ex-husband made her leave him.
He lost a great woman.
I agree.
- This is really great. - It's pretty, right?
My goodness, you punk! Hey, get up.
Wake up!
Mom, just leave him.
I'll explain everything to you.
What?
Do... Do you know something?
To be honest,
I met him two days ago at a club in Gangnam.
What?
I see no future in him.
If he was a member of the Oh family,
I would've erased him from the family register already.
The only reason he's still here is because he's a Kim.
You're the only person I can rely on in this family.
I know that.
You know your aunt is keeping you in check, right?
Yes, I know.
Now that Young Man's back,
they'll start doing what they can...
to push you out.
The fuss over Jenny has come to an end,
So from now on, push forward with the task I've given you.
Okay, Grandpa.
Young Man totally made a wreck of our fashion business many years ago.
So you must take over and do better.
And you'll slowly need to take over...
all of J Group's businesses.
Okay.
And that person I mentioned last time...
will be coming to work tomorrow.
- Mr. Lee Dong Joo? - Yes.
I'll introduce him to you once he comes to work tomorrow.
Okay, Grandpa.
They broke up?
But they were so obsessed with each other.
It turns out...
that Ae Young is also a complete lunatic.
Why is she a lunatic?
Just because she's a divorcee doesn't mean she's a lunatic.
She was dating three other guys at the same time.
One of the guys even followed to the hotel they were staying at.
Isn't she unbelievable?
Are you serious?
Yes, she apparently told Young Man that she loves him...
but can't get married to him.
Then left to go on a date with another guy right in front of him.
That's why he ended up coming back all by himself.
He came back four days ago.
What? It's been four days?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
How was I supposed to tell you?
Young Man told me that he'll kill me if I told you.
How could you keep that a secret? Plus, you're normally a bigmouth.
He was so pathetic that I couldn't even say anything.
This lunatic. This darn lunatic.
Hey, wake up!
I was wondering why you weren't answering my calls.
But it was because you got dumped by that brat?
My gosh, you darn punk.
Wake up! I said, wake up!
You can keep hitting him all night, but he won't wake up.
What are we going to do?
I was hoping your grandfather might come around...
if Ae Young came to Korea...
and tried to win his favor by having kids.
In your dreams, Mom.
The three of us will end up losing everything at this rate.
He might give the entire company to Eun Seok.
What are you talking about?
I won't lose what's mine.
So let's fight individually.
Fight individually?
I'll protect what's mine, and you protect what's yours.
And as for him... Just forget about him.
Why would I forget about him?
I'm never going to let Eun Seok take what belongs to Young Man.
My gosh.
The three of us need to team up at times like this.
You'd better stay alert.
I'm always alert. He's the problem.
I mean, seriously.
Is Young Man doing okay?
What if he isn't?
I just meant if he's doing okay from the hangover.
It's natural for a guy to get drunk and make mistakes.
Eun Seok, if you ever look down on Young Man, I won't stand still.
I've never looked down on him. Ever since we were young...
Yes? What?
I'm just saying that I envy him.
Are you mocking me right now?
Do you think I'm a pushover as well?
Aunt.
What is this nonsense?
What did Eun Seok do wrong for you to be so mean to him?
I wasn't mean to him.
I'm just upset because of Young Man.
You're upset because of Young Man, but you're taking it out on him?
No, it's just that Eun Seok said some stuff that made me get upset.
I want the three of you to move out.
Dad!
You have enough money, and you have your own house.
Why do you keep infuriating me by living under my roof?
Grandpa, do you want me to move out as well?
I like you and Eun Seok...
a lot more than my own family.
Okay, fine. Eun Ji, you can stay.
Why do I need to move out?
It'll be much more convenient for Eun Seok to move out...
rather than the three of us.
Eun Seok promised to live with me until the day I die.
I'll be off now.
Nothing fun happens in this house ever since Song Ah left.
Grandpa.
Why would he mention Song Ah at this point?
I can't believe he tried to kick me out as well.
Young Man is always the problem.
Hello.
Are you going to work?
Yes, thanks to you.
It suits you very well. You look like a whole new person.
Thank you.
- You should get going. - Okay. I'll see you.
Did you see my brother?
Yes.
Doesn't he look amazing? Doesn't he look nice in that suit?
Yes, he looked like a model.
He promised to treat everyone to a nice meal once he gets paid.
He said he'll take all of us to a really nice place.
He's going to take us too?
Yes, let's have a party at a pork belly restaurant.
We can have some soju as well.
That sounds great.
By the way, what kind of company will he be working for?
It's apparently a really big company.
And he'll be working for the chairman there.
- I think he's a personal assistant. - A personal assistant?
Not everyone can get that job.
Yes, exactly. It's a very important position.
By the way, thank you for what you did yesterday.
I heard you cooked dinner for my mom.
That's nothing.
From now on, I'll cook for Ms. Ji...
every time you're outside, so don't worry.
Thank you.
- Do you feel better? - Where is everyone?
They all went to work. It's past noon already.
Gosh, my stomach.
Your mother asked you to call her once you woke up.
Mom, it's me.
I'm sorry.
If you're sober, come to the office.
- Okay. - Wear something neat.
And brush your teeth 10 times so you don't reek of alcohol.
I can't brush my teeth 10 times.
I'll brush them twice.
You know your grandpa hates it when someone reeks of alcohol.
Yes, I know.
Your grandpa becomes very strong when he's furious.
So if you don't want to get beaten up,
come to the office looking neat and beg him for forgiveness.
Of course.
I always spoiled him with my love, and look what he does now.
My gosh.
I can't believe I got drunk and came here.
But I guess alcohol is great since it helped me come back home.
Good job. Good job, Young Man.
I looked over the businesses you told me about,
and they were all quite profitable.
They just failed because of mismanagement...
and because the subcontractors did most of the work.
That's correct. Try your best to revive them.
- Okay, Grandpa. - Great.
Come in.
Mr. Lee Dong Joo came to work, sir.
Tell him to come inside.
Hello, sir.
Welcome. I'm glad you're here.
Say hello to my grandson.
He's the team manger of the Business Strategy Team.
And he's also in charge of the fashion business.
My name is Lee Dong Joo.
I'm Oh Eun Seok.
You guys should get to know each other.
You'll end up working together quite frequently.
I look forward to working with you.
Me too.
Okay.
We have a lot to talk about, but we can take our time.
- Take him to his desk. - Okay, sir.
Let's go.
- Bye, then. - Okay.
What do you think?
He looks very trustworthy.
When I asked him to catch the Black Rose for me,
he rejected me right away.
But for some strange reason, I wasn't offended.
I see.
I should slowly convince him and make him do it.
He even studied accounting a little,
so he'll overall be of great help.
This is your office.
Do... Do I...
get to use this all by myself?
Yes, do you not like it?
No, it's not that.
I'll give you some space.
Why would I not like it? This is amazing.
- Come in. - It's me.
Welcome.
What would you like to drink, Song Ah?
- Coffee, please. - Me too.
Okay.
Does Eun Ji work here?
She's my secretary. She volunteered.
A secretary?
It doesn't really suit her.
She says she's a secretary, but she's more like a spy.
Are you okay with that?
I don't even have a big secret.
She gets thrilled about the fact that she can keep her eyes on me,
and I'm actually having fun watching her.
How cute.
She'll most likely report that you're here as well.
To her mother?
Yes.
(Jenny)
Just a second.
Hey, Jenny.
You're coming to Japan tomorrow?
Yes, someone agreed to buy the place I was staying at.
So I'm going to there to sign the papers.
Really?
Then call me as soon as you're done.
Okay, I will.
But what if your mother sees us?
My mom may be my manager,
but she's not with me all the time, so don't worry.
I'll do whatever I can...
to make time to see you.
Hold onto your cell phone tomorrow, okay?
Okay.
Did you catch the pickpockets?
No, not yet. I'll probably get a call tomorrow.
Okay.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Okay, Jenny.
By any chance, was that Jenny...
the famous designer in Japan, Jenny Han?
Yes, that's right. You know her too?
Every designer knows Jenny Han.
Are you guys close?
Yes, we're very close.
What?
I've always been curious of her and wanted to meet her.
Can you introduce me to her one day?
Of course. I'll introduce you guys to each other one day.
Thank you.
My goodness.
I can't believe you guys are close enough to call each other.
This is beyond my imagination.
We don't just call each other.
We even held hands and went on a date.
What?
I can't believe Eun Seok's coming to Japan.
I hope we don't run into my mom.
How am I going to escape from her sight?
Jenny.
Hey, Mom.
Why are you so startled?
What? No, it's nothing.
- Have some tea. - Okay.
Gosh, that's hot.
Jenny, be careful.
Why are you so flustered? It's not like you.
Was I like that?
Here. Wipe your dress.
Is there something wrong?
No, nothing's wrong.
I was actually craving some tea.
Thanks, Mom.
You always have tea at this time of the day.
Have I ever missed it?
No.
These madeleines are nice.
Naomi baked them herself.
She wanted to thank you for the outfits she pre-ordered.
Tell her not to worry. I'm putting in a lot of work on her outfits.
Okay.
(Shady Mom-in-law)
Where's Song Ah? Have you seen Song Ah?
Young Man, what are you doing here?
I heard the two people whom I love and respect the most are here.
She doesn't even think it's a crime.
She told them that she'll take full responsibility.
Is that really what the culprit said?
This is a recording of our conversation. Have a listen.
Jenny, why must you go through something like this?
I no longer want to have conflicts with my mom.
Please do me a favor and stop contacting me from now on.
