Get up, please.
I'm sorry.
It's not because I don't like you.
It's just that when I see you...
with my father,
I'm reminded of my late mother.
I keep thinking of my late mother who should be where you are now.
So I really can't accept your marriage.
Can't you...
just stay friends?
Mr. Bang.
Please give up...
on marrying my father.
I beg you.
Please. I beg you to give up on marrying my father.
Hey, have you lost your mind?
Why are you harassing my mother like this?
Go take it up with your father!
Be quiet. Don't raise your voice in front of Mom.
Nam Gu, should we just stand here and listen?
And what? Don't get married...
and just stay friends? What exactly do you mean by that?
She can't marry him, so she should just be his girlfriend forever?
- Goodness. That's pure nonsense! - Hey, stop.
Seok Gu, stop.
Cho Hee, stop what?
Well, I heard you. I understand, so please get up now.
Will you not get up until I get down on my knees too?
Okay.
I trust...
that you understood everything I said.
I'll get going, then.
- Mr. Bang. - Cho Hee.
"I trust that you understood everything I said?" Goodness.
He must think that our family is a complete joke.
Clearly, he thinks that we're total pushovers.
Otherwise, how could he make such a brazen remark,
knowing Mom and his father are planning to get married?
It's not like we didn't see this coming.
I fully understand why he's reacting this way.
Mom, that's...
Still... From our perspective, it's different.
What's different?
As our children, I'm sure you all feel the same way.
It's not easy to accept your parent's remarriage.
Seok Gu, you were against it too, for the exact same reason.
What? When?
You said I should never betray you...
and glared at me.
Did I?
Yes, you did.
Mother.
I think his emotional wounds are deeper than we thought,
seeing how he came all the way here...
to beg you on his knees.
Cho Hee is right, Mom. If you push ahead with it,
it'll probably hurt him more.
Nam Gu, what are you talking about?
Are you saying they should cancel their plan to get married?
Hey, that is not what I meant.
In any case, our parents already decided to do it.
As their children, we must respect their decision...
even if we're not happy with it.
Besides, knowing that...
they decided to do it for the sake of their happiness,
we should really support their decision!
You begged her on your knees?
Why would you get down on your knees in front of that family?
It's no big deal. I can do worse things...
to make sure Dad doesn't get remarried.
You're right. Well done.
Now they must know not to even dream of becoming a part of our family.
I hope they just break up.
Don't get me wrong.
I don't want them to break up.
Dad has been looking very happy since he met Ms. Na,
and I'm really happy for him.
I just don't want them to get married. That's all.
No one can replace my late mother.
My point, exactly.
We can't let anyone...
bulldoze their way into the family and take Mother's place.
So? What did the ppageumjang lady say?
Did she agree to give up?
No, not yet.
But I made sure to clearly tell her where I stand.
Good. That's the most important thing.
Father.
Dad.
Hello? Brad?
Yes. It's me, Ms. Na.
I heard Hyung Do went to see you earlier today.
Yes, he was here.
I'm really sorry.
Had I known, I would've stopped him at all costs...
to make sure he wouldn't hurt your feelings.
Gosh, no. I'm okay, Brad.
I am worried about Sa Rang's father though.
I didn't think he'd have such deep emotional wounds.
Ms. Na, don't tell me...
you changed your mind because of Hyung Do.
Brad, it was not easy for us to come this far.
How could I change my mind so easily?
I'm so embarrassed.
I bluffed and told you to just trust me and follow my lead,
but it's already so stressful for you.
Gosh, I'm okay,
so don't worry about anything. Just get some rest.
Okay, you too. Rest up and don't think about anything.
All right. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Yes, hello?
Hello, Ms. Seo. It's me.
I'm so worried...
that I can't get it out of my head.
Tomorrow?
I see, okay.
Was it Chairman Bang?
Yes. I think he just spoke to Mother on the phone.
He wants to meet tomorrow.
Honestly, I don't know whose side to take.
When I think about the two of them,
I want to congratulate them on their marriage.
But I totally understand Sa Rang's dad as well.
I don't know what to do.
There are already all these problems.
I'm worried it'd be too much for her...
if they decided to push ahead with their plan to get married.
I'm really upset.
Honey.
Let's not worry ahead.
I trust that the two of them will get through this together.
Why isn't he saying anything?
I'd rather deal with him being fuming mad at us.
That would make me feel more at ease.
He's not saying a word,
and it's making me so anxious.
Honey, aren't you worried?
Why should I be worried about?
What? What kind of question is that?
Knowing we're against his remarriage,
what if he says he'll cut all ties with us?
What if he says he'll disown us?
Then what will you do?
If that's his decision,
I should respect it.
Are you out of your mind?
You're just going to sit on your butt...
and lose all this money?
No Won Ju.
What, Bang Hyung Do?
Do you love me?
Or is it my dad's money that you love?
What? What kind of question is that?
Then if I get kicked out without a single penny,
will you still love me?
No, I will hate you.
I will hate you until the day I die!
So it is my family's money that you love, not me.
That's right. Your background was the only reason I fell for you.
Besides, you kept bringing it up when you were hitting on me.
You said you'd inherit Bangsoo Construction.
And what? Now, you're asking me...
if I love your family's money more than you?
Yes, that's right.
I'm sorry for asking you.
Hold on.
Would it be the same for Ms. Na?
Did you think she'd be different from me?
So...
she loves Dad and his money.
Of course.
If he were just an old man working in the parking lot,
she wouldn't want to marry him.
You've seen how she is too. She has a real temper.
Thanks to you, I had so much fun today, Bo Ri.
I had fun too.
Whenever I'm with you,
time flies by so quickly.
- Really? - Yes.
Then when can I see you next?
Just call me anytime, and I'll come running.
For you, I'm always on standby.
No.
I don't want to disturb you when you're working.
I'll work harder so I can get everything done in advance.
Then I'll study harder and work harder on my writing.
Okay.
Wait.
Mr. Yang, you don't need to walk me home.
You should head back.
What?
Your car is parked far away.
No, it's okay. I'll walk you home.
I just feel so bad, every single time.
Bo Ri.
Then why don't we walk around the block one more time?
Can we do that?
Yes, just one more time though.
Okay, just once more.
And...
keep holding my hand.
Don't let it go.
Okay.
So you've explained it to the disciplinary committee...
that the money was sent to you due to a system error?
Yes.
But I don't like how it's making me feel.
I feel guilty for no reason,
as if I did something really bad.
Nothing will happen to you.
The disciplinary hearing was held because Professor Min...
embezzled his research funds.
Don't worry too much.
(Hankang University, Department of Urban Engineering)
I know.
But I can't believe he dragged me into this...
just because he's about to get fired.
Gosh.
Professor Choi, I still have so much growing up to do.
I'm such a bad judge of character.
That's not true.
Anyway, don't tell Cho Hee about this.
She already has a lot on her plate at the moment.
I don't want her to worry about me on top of everything else.
I won't tell her.
Thanks, Professor Choi.
I'll take this one.
- This? - Yes, that one.
It's five dollars.
- Five dollars? - Yes.
Just a moment.
(Special Dishes for Holidays and Memorial Ceremonies)
What is it now?
That's right.
Didn't your husband...
have a cosmetics business?
- Sorry? - He did, right?
Yes, but how did you know?
Do you know my brother-in-law?
It is you! I knew it.
I kept wondering where I had seen you before.
So you are Seo Dong Geun's wife, right?
Ms. Ma.
You know my husband?
Don't you remember me?
You must remember...
your husband's business partner 22 years ago.
Han Nam Sub.
He's my husband.
Oh, that's right! No wonder you looked so familiar.
So you're that newlywed bride?
Yes, that's me.
What a small world.
Who knew we'd meet again like this?
Right?
So Seul A is his daughter, then.
That's right. That baby is Seul A.
I see.
Hang on. So what is going on here?
Seul A is the daughter...
of Mr. Han Nam Sub,
Dong Geun's business partner?
Jang Geum, what is going on?
I'm so surprised too.
Who knew we'd live so close?
I never heard from your family after that,
so I always wondered how you were doing.
Finally, we meet again like this, Ms. Ma.
Don't even get me started.
My husband passed away because of that incident.
Then Seul A and I...
had to move around to avoid the creditors.
We struggled a lot.
I see.
That incident was a big shock to Dong Geun as well.
He passed away too...
shortly after that.
Back then,
my sister had such a hard time too.
I know. It was crazy.
By any chance,
have you heard anything about the swindler...
who stole the patented technology from the company back then?
We wouldn't just sit still if we knew his whereabouts.
It is that jerk's fault...
that we're all still struggling like this.
That evil scumbag.
I wonder where he is now and what he is up to.
He made others suffer and shed tears,
so I'm sure his bad karma got him.
He must be paying for what he did.
Yes, I'm sure he was punished for what he did.
I'll be off, then.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Hold on.
They don't seem to know that the crook is dead.
If they hear that I found his family,
they'll want their money back too.
I should keep my lips sealed for the time being.
(Sisters Side Dish)
How is your mother-in-law?
She's very worried about you and Sa Rang's father.
She's afraid that everyone would be hurt...
if the two of you were to push ahead with your plan to get married.
Oh, dear. I was...
always so busy with my business and never made the effort...
to try and understand my only child. It's all my fault.
I'm so ashamed that I can't even face you and Ms. Na.
Have you tried to have a talk with him?
No, not yet. The thing is,
I'm not good at stuff like that.
It's very hard for me.
He stayed by his mother's deathbed all alone at such a young age.
I'm sure it wasn't easy.
Right, it must not have been easy.
I should beg for his forgiveness for the rest of my life.
Mr. Bang.
You truly care for your son.
I trust that he'll eventually realize that.
Ms. Seo.
Thank you for saying that.
And...
I know that it's not my place to say this,
but please think about how deeply hurt...
your son must've been back then...
and try to comfort him.
You are...
his father, before anything else.
The husband of Ms. Oh at the side dish store...
was Dad's business partner?
That's right.
No wonder she looked so familiar.
Who knew we'd meet them again like this?
How is this possible?
Clearly, we were meant to cross paths again.
Anyway, I thought...
your dad was the only one who died because of that incident,
but I learned that his partner passed away too.
Ms. Oh's family must've been through a lot too.
But we can put an end to all our struggles soon.
What do you mean, Mom?
I finally managed to track down a researcher who claims to know...
the jerk who stole your dad's patented technology.
A researcher?
Yes.
A researcher at the big company that bought the technology.
He said the company used him...
and fired him.
That was probably why he told me everything.
The company fired him,
so he wants to get back at them.
Maybe he wants me to go public with the information.
So? Are you going to write about it and post it on the Internet?
Are you crazy?
We won't win against that big company.
I just want to find his family...
so we can get our money back.
Mom, even if you find that family,
twenty years have passed already.
They won't compensate you.
It's not their fault.
Hey, we should squeeze it out of them no matter what.
That's been my goal for all these years.
Besides,
that money is our only hope.
You know that too.
Anyway, don't say anything to that attorney.
Okay?
Why not?
Don't ask.
When the right time comes,
I'll take care of everything.
Jang Geum.
You must be upset, thinking about what happened in the past.
Even I'm this upset.
You must be heartbroken.
Yes.
I'm a little sad today.
Seul A's mother was...
that man's wife.
I have a lot on my mind now.
We went through a lot too,
but it looks like...
that family suffered a great deal as well.
Yes, I know.
Being harassed and chased by creditors.
It must've been so stressful.
But you know, about Jun...
What about him?
She said...
her husband died after that incident.
When was that?
It was over 20 years ago.
But how old is Jun?
What?
Think about it.
It means he and Seul A have different dads.
Then does it mean...
she had a relationship with another man?
Gosh, I'm sure she had her reason.
Poong Geum.
Do not bring it up in front of Seul A or her mother.
Gosh, please.
I'm not that slow-witted.
I was just curious. That's all.
She became a widow at such a young age.
She must've been through so much.
We're still struggling too,
but I feel so bad for Seul A.
I know.
That young girl had to look after her immature mother.
Poor thing. Right?
Yes.
(Cometome)
Mother, will you be okay alone?
I should've tagged along.
Hey, you have to work.
I would not have let you tag along.
I know, but still.
Gosh, it's okay.
It's better that I meet with him alone.
I should tell him my honest thoughts at least once.
If you came, I'd be uncomfortable.
Still, I'm worried.
Gosh, don't worry.
I'll have a good talk with him.
I'll see you at home in the evening.
I'm sorry I'm late, Ms. Na.
Gosh, it's okay. Thank you for coming.
Take a seat.
Thank you.
The two of us...
should have met sooner and talked in person.
It was inconsiderate of me not to think of how you'd feel.
Just because we wanted to get it done fast,
we brought up the marriage talk right away.
You must've been surprised too.
Even I had no idea...
that I'd feel this way like a kid, at this age.
In any case, I truly apologize...
for visiting you unannounced.
Gosh, it's okay.
I owe you an apology too.
I'm sorry, Mr. Bang.
You know,
I thought long and hard...
about this marriage.
My kids didn't welcome the idea at first.
Ms. Na.
I'm not asking you to break up with my father.
I just can't let anyone...
take my mother's place.
I know.
No matter how hard I try,
I'll never be able to replace your mother.
How could I even think of replacing her? I'd never dare.
It's just that...
the days that your father and I have lived...
outnumber the days that we have left to live.
So we just want to spend...
the rest of our lives together. That's all.
So your point is,
you can't give up.
But you see,
I can't change my mind about this either.
Mr. Bang.
Do this not for me,
but for your father.
Could you please think about it just once more?
I'm sorry.
I understand you two want to get married,
but I cannot accept it.
I'm really sorry.
(The All-Round Wife)
I don't want to marry her...
if it will hurt you.
Do you believe that?
As for our plan to get married, let's hold off on it.
I'm really sorry.
- What is this? - Take a look.
Is she your girlfriend?
Yes, she is my girlfriend.
Come on. Let's go inside.
What is going on?
I thought I should tell you this in person.
Is it...
