(Episode 76)
I should go in there.
No, stop. Won Ju, wait.
Please leave him alone just for a while.
Hey, this is my house.
Who are you to tell me what to do in my own house?
It's not like that. Mr. Bang needs some time to think. That's all.
Please.
Hey, what on earth are you trying to do?
You said that your mother wasn't going out with my father-in-law.
Yes, and it's true.
Then why did you bring him the food?
It looks like you came here to reignite his passion...
when he was trying to move on. Am I right?
Well... Won Ju.
I may not be the smartest person,
but I'm very intuitive.
I should go now.
So do me a favor.
Give him some time. Please?
I don't know.
Dear Brad.
I think of the first time we met.
Granny.
Back then, I only thought of you as a cranky old man.
I couldn't even imagine...
that we could become so close because of my lunch box.
I should have told you...
that I didn't make those side dishes right away.
But I couldn't get myself to tell you the truth.
I think that I'd already started...
to have feelings for you and wanted to impress you.
By the time I decided to tell you the truth,
my love for you grew so much...
that I was afraid I might lose you if I told you that.
Brad.
I know this might be my last chance,
and I'm so afraid.
But I really want to give you...
the food I made by myself at least once.
It's because...
you gave me the best days of my life...
when I was withering away in the darkest place of my life.
My heart was dry like a desert,
and you rained on the desert and turned it green.
I'm sending this as a token of my gratitude.
Thank you for everything, Brad.
Take care.
So this is...
how Ms. Na's food tastes.
It's good.
It's really good.
It's so good.
Yes.
After work?
Yes, I'll be free.
Actually, I have something to tell you too, Sun Hae.
Okay. I'm glad you called.
Then I'll see you later in the evening.
Hello, Attorney Seo. Something good must've happened to you.
Hi. You came in early.
Yes.
By the way, what did you just say?
I said that something good must've happened to you.
You seem to be in a good mood.
Oh, do I?
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
Brad must have read my letter by now.
Had I known it would end like this,
I would've taken a photo with him.
I guess he made up his mind...
seeing that he hasn't called me.
Oh, dear. Right, I should let him go.
I shouldn't cling on to him.
Even if it ends like this, I can't complain.
Mom, are you really going to skip work again today?
Seok Gu, can you deliver this to my manager for me?
I already explained everything to him.
What's this? Is it your resignation letter?
Mom.
I'll take a few days off,
and then look for another job.
Come on, Mom.
Don't worry. Now that I have a little work experience,
I'm sure I can find a new job soon.
I may not be a great cook,
but I realized that I was good at cleaning.
Then what about the chairman... I mean...
I guess that means it's over between you and Mr. Bang.
Oh, no. You're going to be late. Hurry up and go now.
Mom.
Go on now. You're running late. Hurry up.
See you later.
I slept well.
- Honey. - Yes? Why?
Try this.
What is it?
Gosh. What is this?
Why did you make me eat it? It tastes weird.
Right? Doesn't it taste weird?
Oh, man. That totally woke me up.
You made this, didn't you?
It wasn't me.
Who else could have made this?
I don't know yet...
who made this side dish that tastes weird and bizarre.
My gosh. What do you mean by that?
Cho Hee brought this earlier this morning,
and she said it was for Father.
Ms. Seo came here?
Yes. So I thought that she came here...
to help Father and the lady who made the ppageumjang reconcile.
But obviously, this can't help them get back together.
It could only end things between them once and for all.
Don't you think?
You're right. If I had to eat food like this for the rest of my life,
I would never marry the person who made this.
Never. I would never marry her.
- Gosh. - I know, right?
That's exactly my point.
But why did Ms. Seo bring this?
That's what I want to know.
I have no idea what she's trying to do.
It tasted completely different from what we had tried before.
Let me think.
Does it mean Dad has a new lady friend?
A new lady friend?
Oh, right. That could be the case.
Then whom is he dating now?
Hang on. Then I suppose Cho Hee also knows who his new lady friend is.
What's going on?
Exactly.
Mom, are you going somewhere?
Yes. I'm going to visit your mother-in-law.
If you're going there,
- I'll give you a ride. - That's okay.
Stay at home with Ri An.
I need to talk to Ms. Oh.
I'll go by myself.
Be safe, Mom.
See you later.
(Sisters Side Dish)
I was so out of it that day...
that I couldn't even say goodbye.
I'm sorry about that.
That's okay. I understand you.
Even I was taken aback too. You must've been flustered.
I never thought that the one...
that Bae Soo wanted to marry could be you.
Of course.
What I'm trying to say is that I'm happy for you.
When Bae Soo was telling us about you,
he seemed so happy.
But it's all over.
Pardon?
Brad and I...
I mean...
He and I were able to start a relationship...
only because of your food.
Well, as a matter of fact, that is quite true.
Poong Geum.
If you think about it, it's true.
If Bae Soo had met you before he met Ms. Na,
he might not have started dating Ms. Na.
Things could've turned out very differently.
Am I right, Jang Geum?
That's nonsense.
She's not wrong about that.
He seemed so excited when he told me...
that he had found you two after 40 years.
He wouldn't stop talking about you.
I could tell how much he had missed you.
He probably missed the old days when we were younger.
That's not it. He recognized the taste of your food right away.
He said that he had missed the taste for 40 years.
Ms. Na.
I should stop being silly.
Why am I talking about such things in front of you?
Ms. Na, I believe...
that my food wasn't the only reason...
why Bae Soo opened up his heart to you.
Bae Soo came here and ate with us.
He also took some of my side dishes home.
But that didn't change his heart for you.
Bae Soo...
liked you just the way you were.
(Parking Attendant)
Look at you, Seok Gu.
Are you taking a break already?
It's none of your business.
You must be determined to behave badly.
What's that?
Are you going to quit working here?
It's not mine. It's my mom's resignation letter.
Ms. Na's resignation letter?
Yes. She asked me to deliver it to her manager.
She said she would find another job.
She doesn't want to see you because you two broke up.
Well...
How is your mother doing?
Why do you want to know that?
I mean you're a stranger to her now.
(Parking Attendant)
Oh, right.
I'm telling you this because I think you want to know.
You don't have to worry about my mom anymore.
She's so cheerful after all that happened.
It's as if she had forgotten you completely.
Then I'll go back to work.
My break is over.
Excuse me.
What are you doing now?
Can't you see?
Let's have a drink together.
Listen. If you want to drink that much,
go home and drink with Seul A.
Seul A is out to make deliveries, you know.
Don't be like that. Come and join me. Come on.
I don't think we'll have any more customers today.
By the way, where is Jun?
He's with a babysitter. Don't worry.
Did you have a babysitter?
Of course. He's a reliable, young man.
Anyway, let's have a drink.
Let me pour you a glass. Let's celebrate.
What are we celebrating?
Something we should be celebrating.
Finally, I have found the family of the con man...
who ruined my life.
Pardon me?
Now, let's drink.
Oh, okay.
You said you had something to tell me. You go first.
Actually, it's not that I want to say something to you.
It's more of a question.
What is it?
It may be a silly question,
and I'm a little embarrassed.
But Kang Rim.
What are we now?
Sorry?
I don't know how I should think about the change in your attitude.
I'm confused.
I need you to clarify that,
so I won't do anything that could make you uncomfortable.
Sun Hae.
Yes?
I once said...
that if I was ever going to fall in love again,
it would be you. Do you remember that?
Yes.
You see,
I've never changed that thought, not even for a moment.
Kang Rim.
To be honest,
I think that you haven't forgotten Yoon A.
And I believe that you want to hold on to the memories of her...
that you're keeping Seul A around who looks like Yoon A.
Yoon A is in my past.
The memories of her can't be erased.
But...
old memories can't keep you going, you know.
I want you to be by my side...
in my present and future.
Is that too much to ask?
Kang Rim.
The street is frozen.
Hold my arm.
You might slip again.
Okay.
Kang Rim.
The day when you canceled your plans and came to me,
I thought to myself...
that I should never miss the chance...
that I got miraculously.
I will never let you go again.
(Sisters Side Dish)
There.
(Sisters Side Dish)
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
Have another glass.
Don't be like that. Drink up.
Good. Here you go. Open.
My gosh. Why is Mr. Mustache...
drinking with that darn woman? Why?
What's going on?
Auntie Poong Geum.
Gosh, you startled me.
Hey, why would you sneak up on me like that?
What are you talking about?
By the way, what were you looking at?
Well, I was just... You know...
My goodness. Hey, stop it.
Mr. Mustache is with Jun's mother.
Auntie Poong Geum, what's going on between them?
Why are you asking me that?
That's not important. You said you were going to a bookstore.
Where have you been?
Why did you stay out so late?
Why are you taking it out on me?
It seems that many people in this town are in love.
Kang Rim is in love, and I...
What's with that upset look?
Nothing. Never mind.
Seriously. I hope that woman will move to another town.
Who are you talking about?
I'm talking about Jun's mother.
I wish I didn't have to see her at least for just one day.
Are you talking about her again?
But she's even latching on to Mr. Mustache now.
It's none of your business. Why do you even care?
Jang Geum.
I shouldn't let that happen. I'll go and talk to her.
- Poong Geum, don't do that. - I really should stop her.
- I can't... Oh, gosh. - Oh, dear.
Have you guys been well?
Of course. Hi, Bae Soo.
Bae Soo, what brings you here without calling ahead?
Why? Must I call you when I want to come to see you?
No, it's not like that.
I came here because I craved your sujeonggwa.
I see.
He came back here? Why?
I don't know. He said he had something to ask your mom about.
Ms. Na came by during the day.
And Bae Soo came at night.
I mean this is not Cupid's house or anything like that.
I don't know what's going on.
Are you saying...
that Ms. Na learned to cook from you?
Yes. Ms. Na worked so hard to improve her cooking skills.
She learned and practiced...
with a lot of affection and effort for the man she loved.
I've known her for many years,
but she seemed more sincere and more pure-hearted than ever.
I don't know where things went wrong.
Bae Soo, you didn't fall for her and care for her...
just because of mere food, did you?
Of course not.
I liked Ms. Na just as she was.
Then what's the problem?
You can just follow your heart.
Is that so?
I guess you're right.
My goodness.
Mother, did you make all this?
It's nothing. I just tried to cook as Ms. Oh taught me.
Ri An, what do you think?
Everything is good, Grandma.
What about you guys? Do you like it?
Of course we do. It's so good.
You think it's good?
I could tell that Mom made this right away.
Seok Gu, you brat.
But you've improved greatly, Mom.
That's all that matters. It won't change overnight.
Mother.
Mom, they say that time heals all wounds.
You must be heartbroken and devastated now,
but you'll get over it as time goes by.
You will find a better man. Don't be sad.
I'm giving you this advice based on my personal experience...
since I went through a breakup recently.
Bear it in mind.
Okay, Mom?
- Seok Gu. - Hey, Seok Gu.
What do you mean you went through a breakup recently?
Mom, I got divorced.
Seok Gu.
Come on. Getting a divorce isn't the end of the world.
I'm okay. I'm totally fine.
So don't look at me like that.
That pitying look is what hurts me.
But still, how could you say something so serious...
as if you didn't feel anything?
Did you two know about this?
Mom, we didn't mean to... The thing is...
Mother, there were some issues regarding his divorce.
What issues, Cho Hee?
That your younger brother was my ex-wife's attorney?
And that he made me pay so much alimony that I went broke?
Mom, what is Uncle Seok Gu talking about?
Ri An, it's nothing you should worry about.
Ri An, I'm saying that I'm single again, and I'm proud of it.
It also means I have a chance to start my life anew.
Gosh, you fool. You silly brat.
- I can't believe you. - Mom, stop it. It hurts.
Goodness gracious. You cause me so much grief.
"Brad"?
Mom, who is calling you?
(Traditional Tea House)
Brad.
Come and have a seat, Ms. Na.
I thought...
I should tell you this in person.
So I asked you to meet me.
I see.
Thank you for asking me to see you.
Right.
I'm all ears.
Can you even guess what I'm going to...
say to you?
Yes.
I think I know what you'll say.
I see.
Then I guess I can just tell you.
Ms. Na.
Let's end this.
(The All-Round Wife)
I must say, there's so much drama in Father's relationship.
I don't know what Mr. Bang wants.
Gosh, I'll teach that old geezer a lesson.
Everyone, sit down. I have something to tell you.
Is your sister getting married, Ms. Seo?
Your hands are cold, Bo Ri.
Why did you take the long way around?
I wish for your happiness more than mine.
I promise I'll make it happen.
