(Episode 106)
That was a long day.
Even I'm this exhausted.
Are you okay?
Why would I be exhausted? My son got married.
I may be tired, but I don't even feel it.
That's true. I thought Kang Rim would stay single forever.
Who knew he'd get hitched? I still find it so hard to believe.
We should be very grateful.
It's common for couples to have problems before getting married,
but Kang Rim and Sun Hae had so many hurdles along the way.
Right, Jang Geum?
They've overcome all the hurdles,
so only happiness awaits them.
By the way, when Seul A's mother showed up earlier,
my heart sank.
I was so worried thinking she'd ruin Kang Rim's wedding.
She must've felt very bad about what she did.
That's why she came.
Let's put it behind us now.
Nothing good will come out of reminiscing...
over such sour memories.
Okay, I won't bring it up again.
Right, Mr. Yang said he'd drop off Bo Ri,
but she's not back yet.
She won't want to come home right away.
I'm sure he took her out on a date.
That's true. She finally caught the bouquet,
so she must be very excited now.
Exactly.
Why did she want to catch the bouquet so badly?
Are you that happy?
Of course, I am. I was really upset last time.
This means you'll stay single for three years...
if you don't get married within six months.
What?
I don't want you to waste three years,
so I should hurry.
Jae Min.
Yes, Mom. It's me.
No, I'm with Bo Ri now.
Let's talk when I get home.
What did your mother say?
Nothing much. Don't worry.
It was about me,
wasn't it?
Tell me the truth.
If it has something to do with me,
I should know too.
The truth is, my mother wants me to get married as soon as possible.
What?
So...
You mean, she wants to arrange blind dates for you?
I see.
What do you want to do?
I'll get it all sorted out so you won't have to worry about it.
Don't worry.
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
Here, Gab Soon. Have some coffee.
"Gab Soon?"
I figured it's about time we got on a first-name basis.
Okay, thank you.
How should I address you, then?
Sun Joong?
Well, that's better than "Mr. Soo."
I agree, Sun Joong.
Anyway, you surprised me today.
- What do you mean? - At the wedding.
Even now, I feel so bad when I think about it.
They're so kind. Why did I do such a thing to them?
I'm really embarrassed.
There are many people who aren't even ashamed when they should be,
so just shake it off.
No.
Not everyone who's poor and undereducated...
lives like I do.
You know,
I ran away from the orphanage...
and got a job at a shoe factory.
That was how I took my first step into the larger world.
Then I met Seul A's father, moved in with him,
and had Seul A.
After Seul A's father died,
I wandered all over the country.
I worked at a sewing factory, a tangerine farm, and even a diner.
You name it.
So naturally,
I stopped caring about hurting others...
because my survival came first.
And I guess I've gotten so used to it now.
The more I think about it,
the more embarrassed I get.
I'll be honest. At first, I felt very uncomfortable around you.
You did?
But I think I know you better now.
You may sound a little mean at times but have a kind heart.
Sun Joong.
That said, I'd like to sing a song for you.
Gab Soon and Sun Joong lived in the same village
They loved each other
But they acted like
Mom's smiling.
Mom smiled.
That's good, Mom.
You can stop worrying about me.
Just live your life, Mom.
Maybe it's because I'm nervous.
I've been feeling queasy all morning.
Goodness.
Did I have bad motion sickness?
It's really odd.
What's odd?
I'm talking about Bo Ri.
What about her?
Jang Geum.
If Bo Ri...
If she is...
What?
It's nothing.
Where's Bo Ri? It's getting really late.
Anyway, I need a glass of water.
Okay.
What's wrong with me?
Auntie Poong Geum.
Hey, it's late.
I know. You're still up.
Did you have a nice date?
Of course, I did.
By the way, do we have some food?
Food?
I didn't have a proper meal all day.
I'm starving now.
Hey, are you going to eat the whole thing?
Yes, do you want some?
No, I'm good.
I feel much better now.
Hey, what's gotten into you?
You rarely snack at night because you want to watch your weight.
I don't know.
I keep getting random cravings.
This is so good.
I should finish the rice in the rice cooker.
We're not running late, are we?
No.
You must've helped Father big-time,
judging by how he invited us over.
I didn't do anything.
It's probably because your ad did so well.
You think so?
Well, in any case, let's go.
- Okay. - What?
Hold on. Stop.
Where are you going?
I told you yesterday that we're visiting Chairman Bang today.
Right, you did.
I hope you two hurt your feet on your way back from Gangnam.
Our feet?
That's right. Don't you know the poem by Kim So Wol?
"The one who must leave me shall hurt their feet."
You can join us next time.
We'll take Ri An too.
Forget it. Give my brother-in-law in Gangnam my regards.
Goodness. He said we should go play golf together,
but I haven't heard a word from him since then.
Darn it.
Take good care of Ri An.
Okay, sure. I hope you hurt your feet on your way back.
Let's go, honey.
Okay. Bye!
"The one who must leave me..."
"shall hurt their feet before they reach 40km..."
Wait, was that "Arirang?"
Hurt their feet before they reach 40km
It was "Arirang." Darn it.
- I'm telling you. - Really?
Yes.
Goodness.
I have to clean and watch my mother-in-law during the week.
I'm so busy.
This is my precious weekend,
but I have to cook and prepare dessert for Cho Hee and her husband.
I'm so annoyed.
I hope you liked the food.
Yes, we really enjoyed everything.
It must've been a lot of work for Won Ju.
I made the salad and the seasoned balloon flower roots.
You did?
They were so delicious.
Right? My cooking skills keep on improving by the day.
Well, I'll leave you to talk.
I'll help Won Ju in the kitchen.
No, you're here as a guest. Just relax.
But still...
Won Ju wanted to cook and take care of everything today,
so just relax and make yourself at home.
Oh, all right then.
I invited you over because I wanted to thank you both.
The ad Cho Hee made got such good feedback.
Everyone on the management team was very happy with it.
Thank you. Well done, Cho Hee.
My gosh. I'm flattered, Father.
Have some fruit, Father.
Okay, thanks.
And like I mentioned the other day,
Professor Kang has such a sharp business acumen.
That said, can I consult you for advice from time to time?
Of course, although I'm not sure if I can be of much help.
Your advice will be very helpful.
As an urban engineering professor, he has such keen insights.
He presented me with practical solutions.
I was very impressed.
I'm flattered.
The thing is, I'm planning to build...
a commercial-residential building in Hwangseok-dong.
I'll probably need your help.
They're building a new subway line through the area, you know.
All of my academic colleagues say that it'll be...
the next up-and-coming area.
Oh, your academic colleagues?
Is that so? I see.
You're surely very knowledgeable.
I feel so assured now.
Nam Gu, I'm very happy to see you...
doing the kind of work...
that suits you best.
Gosh, no. I just gave him a piece of advice, that's all.
Still, it's very helpful.
Right, Brad?
Yes, that's right.
Every advice you give me helps me out tremendously.
Really? I'll do my very best.
My gosh, thank you.
- Have some. - Okay.
Try this.
A trip?
Yes. I've never taken a trip with Jun before, you know.
That's right.
We'll go somewhere close.
When?
Sometime soon. That's okay, right?
Then let me tag along.
How will you take care of Jun by yourself?
I'm his mother,
so I can take care of him by myself.
Also,
I want to spend time alone with Jun. Just the two of us.
Can we do that, Mom?
Fine. Be careful though.
Okay.
And can you watch Jun today?
I guess you're going out to see Dong Ha again.
Yes.
Okay, don't worry about Jun.
Enjoy your date.
Here.
Mom.
My shoulders hurt.
I got up so early and worked hard all day because of Cho Hee.
Honey, can you give me a shoulder massage?
What are you doing? Are you playing a game or something?
No, I'm writing a business plan.
A business plan?
I know why you want to keep an eye on Ms. Na...
and plan for a second child,
but I want to do my job well...
to win Dad over.
Are you being like this because of Nam Gu?
Must you ask? It's embarrassing.
Yes, this is what I'm talking about!
Finally, you're stepping up your game.
Sure, you could say that.
What do you think? You feel threatened too, right?
I bet you're anxious and worried, thinking he might end up...
inheriting the business instead of you.
Aren't you suddenly breaking out in a sweat?
I bet your heart is pounding like crazy too.
Won Ju, Dad may not pass the company down to me.
But I'm his only son, so he won't choose Nam Gu over me.
Then why are you writing a business plan all of a sudden?
Just be honest. You're anxious, aren't you?
Whatever I do, I want to be acknowledged by my dad first.
I'll do my best.
My fingers hurt. This is nuts.
Keep it up.
Honey, you were like a different person earlier.
Me? Why?
I didn't know you were so interested in business.
Oh, that.
I'll be honest. When Mr. Bang said that...
It made me feel weird.
Honey.
I always thought working in academia was my only path,
but perhaps,
I was wrong.
Nam Gu.
Teaching is your calling.
I know.
Being an entrepreneur isn't for everyone.
Why do you say that? Do you think I'm too clueless...
to be an entrepreneur?
No, that is not what I meant.
I'm sorry if you took it that way,
but I'm just a little worried. That's all.
Cho Hee.
Honey.
You were always so proud...
that you could help your students cultivate their abilities.
So I hope you can continue to teach for the rest of your life.
I know. I know what you're trying to say.
What do you know?
You're worried I'd get all excited...
in vain hopes of starting my own business.
Why would you take it like that?
Don't get me wrong.
I didn't. Besides, it's true.
Gosh, I'm tired.
I'm going to sleep now.
Okay.
Seul A, how's your job search going?
Do you have any interviews lined up?
What?
Well... I do, but...
What? Where?
I'll tell you later.
Let's talk about it another time.
We should get going.
Yes, it's getting late. I'll take you home, Seul A.
No, I want to go home alone today.
Why? Let me take you home.
I've got some thinking to do.
Right, Dong Ha.
I...
never said this to you.
What?
I...
like you a lot.
There, I said it.
I'll be off, then.
Bye.
Seul A.
Yes?
I...
like you a lot too.
Thanks.
Thanks so much for everything.
My gosh, Mom. It's clean enough.
You'll make a hole on the floor at this rate.
Bo Ri, try calling Kang Rim.
I spoke to him earlier.
They'll be here soon.
Jang Geum, I finished organizing their room.
Thanks, Poong Geum.
Now, they can be all lovey-dovey in that room.
I'm jealous.
Then you should get married soon too.
Mother, we're here.
- My gosh, they're here. - They're here, Mom.
- Come on. - Hurry!
- You look gorgeous! - You guys are back.
Oh, my.
How was your honeymoon? Did you have a good time?
Yes, Mother. We had a great time thanks to you.
Kang Rim, I reorganized your room.
Now, it's perfect for a newlywed couple.
Thanks, Auntie Poong Geum.
Unpack quickly and join us.
Mom and Auntie Poong Geum...
made lots of delicious things for you guys.
Okay.
Darling, do you want to wash up? I'll unpack.
Okay, honey.
My gosh! "Honey?"
"Darling?"
We decided to call each other like that during our honeymoon.
Good. It's the way it should be.
That's so fast.
I thought you'd never be able to call each other like that.
Me too.
What do you think? The room is too small, isn't it?
No, I love it.
And it's decorated so nicely.
We'll get a big place when we move out.
Well...
I want to live here with Mother for a long time.
What?
I want a hug.
Sun Hae, I brought you fresh towels.
Bo Ri, can't you knock?
Sorry. I'm really sorry.
I forgot that it's now a newlywed couple's room.
No worries, Bo Ri.
I mean, thank you.
I'll always make sure to knock from now on.
I'll leave you guys alone...
so you can finish what you were doing.
Take your time, okay?
We're leaving, Mom.
Why are you taking such a huge suitcase...
for just you and Jun?
Is it too big?
Anyway, don't skip meals, Mom.
You're just taking a short trip.
Why worry about me skipping meals?
Even if I don't eat for three days,
I'll be fine.
Don't worry about me. Just have fun.
I'll make sure to eat well.
Okay.
And Mom.
Thanks.
What? How random.
What's with you today?
Get going. I have to go work at the dry cleaner's.
Okay.
Let's go, Jun.
Have fun, Jun!
Be safe.
- Jun. - Yes?
- You're coming with Mom. - Okay.
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
What's with you today? You never stay this late.
No one's home now. Jun and Seul A are away.
Where did they go?
They went on a trip together.
I see.
Gab Soon, you'll continue to help me out here, right?
Of course. Where would I go?
You have so many customers.
You can't handle everything by yourself, Sun Joong.
I should help you, of course.
That makes me happy.
- Ms. Ma! - Hey, Dong Ha.
Hi, Dong Ha.
Hello, Mr. Soo.
What brings you here at this hour?
Ms. Ma, Seul A is... She's gone.
What? I guess she didn't tell you.
Seul A and Jun are away on a trip.
No, Seul A is gone.
What are you talking about?
She sent me a goodbye text and left.
What?
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
Her phone is probably off now.
She also said...
she would never come back to Seoul.
What should we do?
Seul A...
No way.
That can't be.
(The All-Round Wife)
Mother is going to the hospital tomorrow?
Nam Gu will take you there, Mom.
He wants to do it for you as your son-in-law.
I'm so glad Nam Gu will pick you up.
An executive meeting?
I'd like you to attend the meeting on my behalf.
Why would Cho Hee's husband attend the executive meeting?
The meeting is taking longer than expected.
Did Nam Gu have to take care of something urgent?
Mother, where are you?
