(Episode 25)
She'll be fine.
I think she did it to make us come home.
All right. Take good care of her.
Maybe she really is ill.
Focus on taking good care of yourself, Mom.
Don't work too hard.
All right.
Seriously. She's going all out because she's worried...
that she'd lose her son.
Watch what you say.
My goodness. Were you Buddha in your past life?
How could you be so understanding and patient?
Those who have no kids have it much easier in life.
Gosh, my arms.
My arms hurt so much.
Mom, do I really have to drop this off?
Yes. Hurry and drop it off at your sister's place.
She forgot to take it because she was in a rush yesterday.
Can't we just tell her to pick it up after work?
My goodness.
Hey, you do nothing all day.
When Cho Hee gets off work, she's already exhausted.
Did you hear what your aunt said?
So just go there and drop it off.
I don't want to go there alone.
I'll go with Auntie Poong Geum. That's okay, right?
Sure, you can take her.
What? I have to go too?
Let's go together, Auntie Poong Geum.
My gosh. Did you really have to drag me into this?
Auntie Poong Geum.
Let go.
Show them what their in-laws can do.
Gosh, seriously.
Don't drink too much.
I know, but...
Ms. Seo.
Hello.
Mr. Moon.
Congratulations on landing the 34 Home Training contract.
Gosh, you don't need to congratulate me.
What? You totally deserve it.
Mr. Moon had to jump through hoops to make it happen.
I'm aware.
Thank you for wrapping it up so successfully.
Come on. You and everyone on Team One...
had done all the work already.
All I did was put a spoon on the table and enjoy the feast.
It's a little embarrassing to get all the spotlight.
Isn't this a famous award acceptance speech?
You're right.
Let's help each other out...
and grow together.
Please keep up the great work.
All right, sure.
See you.
I thought she'd lash out at you,
but she's cool about it. She congratulated you.
- I know. She's very shrewd. - Yes.
But why do I feel this way?
(Hankang University)
(World's Best University, Hankang University)
Isn't this too much to carry on your own?
No, it's fine.
Can you put them on top of these?
Where are you going?
Don't worry. Just put them on top of these.
You'll drop them again.
Where are you going?
You're working now.
The library isn't busy now anyway.
I won't get in trouble for stepping out for a moment.
Let's go.
(Hankang University Law School)
You seem to be doing much better.
You know that without seeing me?
It's obvious. You're not wearing your sunglasses and mask today.
I have some time before my lecture, so I'll hang out here.
Sure, of course.
Yes, come in.
I brought what you asked for.
Thank you. Could you leave them there?
Sure, Professor.
My gosh, Professor Seo.
Seul A.
This is a lot. I guess I went overboard. I'm sorry.
Don't be. I plan to go to grad school,
so it was helpful to read about the precedents.
Are you studying for law school?
Yes. Also, Seul A helped me.
Really?
You two look so cute together. Are you guys...
We're just close friends. She's a friend of mine.
Watch what you say to your students.
My bad. I'm sorry, guys.
It's okay, Professor Choi.
I'll see you in class.
All right.
I envy them. They're so cute.
But my hunches are always right.
Since when did you care so much about others' business?
That's true.
I can't even take care of myself.
Gosh, that's not what I meant.
I was just joking.
Invest in a company abroad?
That's right. Do you want to live in this shabby place forever?
You need to move back to where you used to live, you know?
I'll probably witness the parting of the Red Sea before that happens.
So what? Will you just give up?
Then you'll have to live here for the rest of your life.
What can I do? I have no choice, although I don't like it here.
You really have no money at all?
That's right!
How much was the rent deposit for this place?
Why do you want to know that?
Don't even dream of taking that money.
Are you going out?
Yes, I feel so cooped up.
I feel like I'll actually get sick from feigning illness...
and lying down for too long.
I'll go get some fresh air.
But what if you get caught?
Both Nam Gu and Cho Hee are at work now,
so I won't get caught.
That's true. I'll see you later.
Gosh, what a hassle.
How much longer do we have to run errands like this?
Don't you already know the answer?
Until you meet a nice guy and get married.
Darn it.
What brings you here?
I heard you were ill,
but you seem totally fine.
I was ill.
I'm still not feeling well at all.
Have you apologized to Cho Hee?
Apologize?
Yes. You owe her an apology.
What did I do that I have to apologize to Cho Hee?
My gosh.
Ms. Na. Because of you,
we all got the wrong idea,
and Cho Hee's mother even slapped her in the face.
Why is that my fault?
She brought it upon herself.
Okay. This is what you want to do?
Fine. I've got a plan too.
Bo Ri, is that a threat?
Sure, whatever. Suit yourself.
Where are you going, cellmate?
That's right. We were cellmates once.
We ended up at the police station for playing cards.
What will Cho Hee say if she finds out?
Auntie Poong Geum, should we just tell Cho Hee?
What? What did you say?
That's right!
Please take this upstairs, cellmate.
If you throw it out or something...
You know what will happen.
See you around, cellmate.
Gosh, my goodness.
My gosh, I can't believe this.
"Cellmate"?
So? You just gave it to Ms. Na and left?
There's more.
I told her we'd tell Cho Hee...
about us ending up at the police station together...
if she kept being mean to Cho Hee.
That totally scared her.
Yes!
I can't believe you two.
Why did you go and cause trouble again?
Mom.
Ms. Na looks down on Cho Hee and us...
because we always let her have her way.
We should speak out when we need to.
That way, Cho Hee can speak up too.
That's right.
They had the upper hand ten years ago,
but the situation has changed completely.
Who's the one putting food on the table?
They should thank Cho Hee because she works so hard.
Listen to yourselves!
It's not like we're wrong.
Forget it.
I should blame myself for sending you two there.
Bo Ri, go upstairs.
Poong Geum, finish the work in the kitchen.
What? I went all the way there because you told me to.
Don't make me do these things again, then.
Hey, go upstairs.
Your mom will lose it at this rate.
(Sisters Side Dish)
You said you wanted me to finish the work in the kitchen, right?
Gosh.
Goodness. I thought it was something really bad.
That's nothing.
Playing cards and dealing with the cops. That's no big deal.
I can't believe they're using something so petty to threaten you.
It is a big deal.
A while back, I lost about 10,000 dollars in a scam.
I had to walk on eggshells around Cho Hee because of it.
If she finds out about this... My goodness.
Come on. 10,000 dollars is no big deal.
She got so angry at me over that 10,000 dollars.
But you said...
she had an affair with her colleague.
Well, she says it's not true.
So she didn't have an affair?
I don't know. I can't tell whether or not it's true.
So did she have an affair or not?
I don't know!
In any case, I can't stand them all.
All of them, from Cho Hee to everyone in her family.
Is that so? Sounds like they need a lesson.
Should I show them they shouldn't underestimate their in-laws?
What will you do?
Well, let me do some thinking first.
Bo Ri, you should give Ms. Na a call.
Why should I call her?
You should apologize to her.
For being rude to her.
I don't want to.
Bo Ri's right. Why should we apologize first?
Have you forgotten what she did to Cho Hee?
She is Cho Hee's mother-in-law...
and Ri An's grandmother as well.
You should never be that disrespectful to her.
In any case, I don't want to. I refuse.
Grandma, I'm here.
My gosh, Ri An. What brings you by?
I came to see you because I missed you, Grandma.
My gosh. It's good to see you, Ri An.
It's so good to see you, my sweet pumpkin.
Hello, Auntie Bo Ri and Great Auntie Poong Geum.
Hi, sweetie.
Did you come here by yourself, Ri An?
No.
Hello, Ms. Oh.
It's me, Ri An's uncle.
You have your own room. Why are you studying here?
Because I want to spend time with you, Mom.
Really? I guess you're in a good mood...
because there's no class today.
Yes, I'm so happy. I get to eat snacks too.
My gosh! You need to be careful.
Who do you take after? You're so clumsy.
- I'm sorry. - It went under the sofa.
Hold on.
What's this credit card statement doing under the sofa?
(Joeun Bank)
Where did he spend all this money?
A hotel spa, a department store,
and a steak house?
Bang Hyung Do, this jerk...
You've been busted.
It's a photo from that day.
Take a look.
What's the point?
Maybe it was staged. Who knows?
This man here is the chief director,
whom you thought I was having an affair with.
The others are the employees on my team.
Yes. It was a hotel room,
so I understand why you got the wrong idea.
But these days,
a hotel isn't just a place where you can sleep.
Many companies use hotels for work purposes...
and meetings.
It's very common.
Why do something to cause such a misunderstanding?
We were just there to work,
so I wasn't concerned at all,
which is why it never even occurred to me...
that you could get the wrong idea.
I'm sorry, Mother.
You are sorry?
Yes.
But I have to say, my feelings are hurt.
Your feelings are hurt? Why?
I wish you had asked me about it first...
if you thought it was that suspicious.
Then I would've explained everything to you, like I'm doing now.
And you would've been able to save yourself the embarrassment.
Why should I be embarrassed?
It is embarrassing.
You refuse to listen to me.
Then you ran to Nam Gu and my family...
and told them everything.
I'll be honest. That really hurt my feelings.
Hey, I never ran to your family.
They just happened to show up at that moment.
Right, that's true.
I was mistaken.
I'm sorry.
And if I had asked you about it first,
you would've just denied it flat out.
Mother, shouldn't you know me better by now?
I am your daughter-in-law,
Nam Gu's wife, and Ri An's mother.
I have never done and will never do...
anything I should be ashamed of.
And...
I really want to live a good life.
I want to take good care of you...
while being a good wife to Nam Gu...
and a good mother to Ri An.
I really want to do a good job...
and raise my daughter well.
So please help me, Mother.
Help me do a good job.
Please?
Well... Sure.
My gosh, this one's good too.
And this is delicious too.
You sure have been running a side dish store for 30 years.
This is really impressive, Ms. Oh.
Oh, please.
It's true. Everything you make is so delicious, Grandma.
I'm glad you like the food.
This is rather a humble spread, so I felt bad.
What are you talking about?
This is a feast. I nearly broke my back cooking up a storm.
By the way, what brings you here, brother-in-law?
Right. I'm staying in Korea for a little while...
during my business trip all over Asia.
So I wanted to finally meet Ms. Oh...
and properly introduce myself. That's why I'm here.
All of a sudden? After being a total stranger for years?
Poong Geum.
What? It's true.
When did Cho Hee get married?
That is why I'm finally here to meet you in person.
This is so good.
My, this is nice.
A friend? As if.
Who lends their credit card to a friend these days?
You don't understand what a true friendship is like.
A true loyal friendship between two men.
Then enter the phone number of that loyal friend of yours.
- Why? - I must see...
how loyal this friend is.
Honey, it's getting late. Must you really do this now?
Who are you calling?
Hey, it's me.
Hey, why did you have to use my credit card left and right?
Because of you, my wife got the wrong idea.
My wife might divorce me, thanks to you.
I'll freeze the card at once. Consider yourself informed.
And our friendship ends here. I have to go.
Happy now?
Well...
It doesn't seem like a loyal friendship to me.
What?
You can cut off a loyal friend that easily?
You come before this friendship. That's why.
I'll cut anyone out of my life...
if they make you worry, no matter how loyal they are.
That's my life motto.
Hand me your phone.
Let me call this loyal friend of yours.
My gosh, the battery must be dead. The phone turned off.
I'll go charge it quickly.
Is the charger in Sa Rang's room? I'll be quick! I'll show you.
Something's definitely up.
Sa Rang.
Sa Rang, are you asleep?
Sa Rang. If you're tired, just go sleep in your bed.
No, I can't.
Mom will yell at me if I fall asleep now.
My poor daughter.
Your mom's stressing you out, isn't she?
Dad, what are you doing in my room?
Even I find your mom so scary.
I came here to take shelter for a minute.
Sa Rang.
Do you remember...
going to the beach with Ms. Gong for your field trip?
Of course. I had so much fun that day.
Let me get some rest here.
And if you're really tired,
just come here and sleep next to me, okay?
I told you. Mom will yell at me.
Don't worry.
I'll let her yell at me instead of you.
Okay?
Then I want to go to bed now.
Come here.
My daughter.
This is so nice.
Are you that happy?
Yes.
Let's get some sleep. I should just sleep here.
I can't figure out whether or not I can say...
she apologized to me.
Clearly, Cho Hee is in the wrong.
So why is it that I feel bad?
Gosh, this is killing me.
You should feel bad.
You totally overreacted, Auntie.
Hey, you're one to talk.
This happened because you egged me on.
What do you mean?
I only told you what I saw.
- Hey. - I clearly told you...
that we should wait until we were sure.
And you lashed out at her in front of her family.
That was out of line.
She'll resent you for it for the rest of her life.
If I were her,
I would never forgive you.
I agree. I'd never forgive your aunt either.
It's not like I wanted to do that.
Her family happened to show up at that very moment.
In any case, take some time to reflect on what you did.
And focus on patching things up with Cho Hee.
What? I should reflect on what I did?
I'll be honest. Cho Hee is such a good catch.
Even if Nam Gu were to get remarried,
he'd never meet a woman like her.
How dare you!
He'd marry some weirdo.
And that woman will kick you out because she can't stand you.
Totally. I bet she'll get kicked out very soon.
Hey, Pa Ran's friend.
Why are you listening to our conversation...
about our family matters?
What can I do? I hear it even if I try not to listen in.
Forget it.
If I talk more with you two, my blood pressure will rise.
I'm off.
Take care, Auntie!
Did the talk with my mom go well?
Yes. I explained everything honestly.
And? What did she say?
I'm sure the misunderstanding has been cleared up.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
What's wrong? Is Ri An not picking up?
Her phone is off.
Where did Seok Gu go with Ri An? I'm getting worried.
Cho Hee.
I know that you don't trust Seok Gu and aren't fond of him.
But he's still Ri An's uncle.
Yes, I know. And your one and only brother...
whom you pity.
But to me, he's like a ticking bomb.
(The All-Round Wife)
She seems upset. Is something going on?
It had "Kang Seok Gu" written on it.
So how could I be fond of him?
Seok Gu is a changed man, honey.
Well, are you renting this building?
Does my sister know too?
Don't tell your mom.
What is it that she can't tell me?
Cho Hee.
