(Episode 81)
A dowry?
What are you talking about?
I'm just wondering if you and Mr. Bang...
have discussed the matter regarding a dowry.
No, we haven't.
We've talked about our honeymoon,
but we've never talked about a dowry.
Honey, did Sa Rang's mother bring up the talk about the dowry first?
Yes. There's no way I brought it up first.
My gosh.
They're wealthy enough to have everything they need.
Why would they want a dowry?
Besides, they gave Mom such a hard time.
They should be thinking about what they could do for her.
People are in different situations.
When you got married,
you had several issues. Don't you remember that?
My wedding was very simple compared to yours.
Cho Hee, the more I think about it,
the more apologetic I feel toward you.
What do you mean by that, Mother?
I gave you and Nam Gu such a hard time...
because of the dowry when you got married.
Looking back now, it wasn't a big deal.
I don't know why I thought it would keep my pride...
and went on about how great our family was.
I regret making such a big scene.
I'm too ashamed to even see you, Cho Hee.
It's okay, Mother.
You let us prepare our wedding as we wanted in the end.
Anyway, you don't have to prepare a dowry.
We just want to live together happily. That's all that matters.
We don't need that kind of formality.
Still, since you're getting married officially,
we should prepare it properly even if we have to keep it simple.
He's right, Mom. If you don't prepare a dowry properly,
Mr. Bang's daughter-in-law might complain about it forever.
You said yourself before...
that an inadequate dowry could make the bride's life hard.
Seok Gu, just zip it and eat up.
Gosh. Shut it, you both.
I'll discuss the dowry with Brad.
You guys don't have to worry about it.
Cho Hee, you shouldn't worry about it either.
But I want to prepare it for you.
I'm telling you, you don't have to.
- Father. - Yes.
I brought you a cup of tea and some fruit.
Oh, my. Thank you so much.
- Father, you see, a dowry... - Oh, right.
I'm telling you this just in case.
Yes, Father.
I'm sure that it would never happen.
What do you mean?
But I'll tell you anyway.
You should never be rude to Ms. Na's family...
by talking about a dowry or something like that.
Well, Father, I wouldn't call it a dowry.
But we should follow the formalities of marriage.
So we could at least keep it simple...
Go on.
I mean we should never demand a dowry.
Absolutely not.
It's just pointless.
It's a waste of money.
That's exactly my point.
My dear daughter-in-law is finally starting to think reasonably.
That's why I told you not to prepare anything for us...
and just to move in with Hyung Do...
when you and Hyung Do got married.
Yes, you did.
I was so grateful for that, Father.
Also, after Ms. Na and I get married,
I'll move back to my old house.
Consider yourself informed.
You'll move back to your old house?
Yes.
But... No, you can't do that.
Father, you shouldn't move out.
I shouldn't move out?
What do you mean?
Why shouldn't I move back to my own house?
Well... That's not what I mean.
We should all live together as a family.
So we can enjoy eating together...
and living under the same roof...
in a crowded house.
Oh, boy.
Why are you trying to stop me from moving back to my house?
I made the decision because it might be uncomfortable for you.
There's nothing that would make me uncomfortable, Father.
Also, Sa Rang is so excited about...
living with her grandfather.
If you move out and live separately from us...
Goodness. I don't even want to imagine that.
Do you really mean that?
Yes. I promise you I'll be good to you two.
Oh, and you and Ms. Na can use the master bedroom.
I'll redecorate the room to make it perfect for a newlywed couple,
and replace all the furniture in the room.
Won Ju.
Don't make me look...
like an unreasonable, shameless father-in-law.
I should never ask to use the bedroom...
that my son and his wife are using. That'd be totally absurd.
I'm just saying that I would be willing to do anything for you two.
That's so sweet of you. Thank you. That's good enough for me.
I'm so happy.
Enjoy the fruits, Father.
What?
You want to live with Dad and Ms. Na?
Yes.
Won Ju, are you serious?
I have no choice.
We have to live with them after they get married.
What... Hey, are you feeling unwell?
You said I couldn't see the forest for the trees.
If Father moves out,
Ms. Ppageumjang would try to have him in the palm of her hand.
What if she convinces him to give her all his assets?
What would you do?
I get it. You want to live with them just to keep a close watch on them.
That's right.
Honey, we really should stay alert from now on.
Every day will be like a battle. Do you understand?
I have a good idea.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Hello.
Hi, Seul A.
Hi.
Am I too late?
Are you closed already?
Oh, we... Are you here to pick up some side dishes?
Yes.
Then give me a minute.
I'm sorry for causing you trouble at such a late hour.
That's okay. Here you go.
That's too much. How much is all this?
You don't have to pay for it.
And I'm sure your mother told you about us. Didn't she?
Pardon?
Oh, that... Yes, she told me.
No wonder why you looked so familiar when I first met you.
It's amazing that we met again after all those years.
Exactly. We had no idea...
that Seul A was Mr. Han Nam Sub's daughter, right?
And Seul A.
I'd like to treat you to a meal.
Bring your mother and Jun, okay?
Thank you, Ms. Oh.
Honestly, I feel bad that you always give me so much.
Take what I give you now,
and be our regular customer when you become successful, okay?
And I'm giving this food for Jun,
so don't feel burdened.
Thank you. Then I'll get going now.
Go home safely.
Yes. Have a good night.
Bye.
Now that I heard about her father,
I feel different when I see her.
I thought she was cheeky and brazen...
using being poor as an excuse.
- Did you? - Yes.
But now I feel sorry for her.
I think she had to act that way just to make it through each day.
The side dish store owner gave you all this for free?
Yes, she gave me the food, so I could feed Jun.
And she invited me, you, and Jun to a meal.
She's such a nice person.
It's so kind of her to help us out.
I feel bad.
Mom.
Didn't Jun whine or grumble today?
No, he behaved well today.
Seul A.
Don't miss this chance and win the lawyer's heart.
Mom.
I think there's a reason why you crossed paths with him.
So you should use this chance to get with him.
Tell him that it seems he and you are meant to be...
and make him believe so too. What do you say?
What?
Marrying your teacher who helped you greatly...
is not against the law. It's not like you'll get arrested.
- Mom, come on. - Am I wrong?
Mom.
Actually, I like someone else.
Who?
Don't tell me it's Kim Dong Ha.
You silly rabbit.
Why would you ask for trouble?
Do you even know about his financial situation?
That doesn't matter.
And I'm in a worse situation than his.
But Dong Ha...
likes me while knowing all that.
I don't even deserve him.
Don't be so naive and clueless.
Do you seriously want to give the man who likes you...
all your heart like that?
Haven't you learned your lesson...
after what you went through?
Mom, how could you say that to me?
All right. Let's say you're right.
Let's say he's too good for you.
Then what about his parents?
Do you think they would be happy to accept you as a family member?
Just as you said, you're much poorer than him,
and you even have a child too.
Wake up.
You'll only end up being hurt.
And remember that once is a mistake,
but twice is a failure.
This time, you must find a decent man...
who could help you turn your life around.
Mom.
I'm so upset.
I'm giving you advice for your sake.
Do you understand?
Gosh.
I'm so upset.
They already had wedding invitations made?
All things considered,
I wasn't sure if they could get married.
But apparently, things are moving fast and smoothly.
I guess it shows how much they wanted each other.
I mean sharing your everyday life with someone...
is completely different from just going on dates.
Do you feel the same way?
Sorry? What do you mean?
About sharing your everyday life.
Hasn't it ever crossed your mind that it'd be uncomfortable?
Sharing my everyday life...
with the man I love would make me happy.
Having someone you can share...
all the joy and sorrow in your everyday life with...
is a blessing, you know.
Hasn't that ever crossed your mind?
I don't know. I have never imagined it before.
But I guess it would be better than laughing or crying...
all by myself.
Oh, my. I lost track of time. I should go now.
Oh, okay. I'll see you off.
Go back inside.
It's cold outside. You might catch a cold.
It's okay.
Sleep well.
Thanks. You too.
Go on in now.
Okay then. Bye.
Bye.
My goodness.
They're all so beautiful.
Oh, my. Mother.
I think a dress like this would look great on you.
What do you think, Mother?
Well... I don't know anything about wedding dresses.
Ms. Na would look great in any dress.
Won Ju, what do you think?
Pardon me?
I think it's beautiful. She would look great in it.
Of course.
Why am I getting nervous?
My, look at you.
You look like an angel from above.
Mother, you look gorgeous.
Do I look okay?
I feel so awkward.
But this dress is too revealing.
She might catch a cold after her wedding ceremony.
A bride should look elegant.
Give me a moment.
This one looks nice.
Please try this on.
Right, Mother. Please try it on.
Wedding dresses look different when you actually put them on.
Then shall I try this on?
It's perfect.
And it's suitable for winter too.
What do you think, Father?
She looks better in this one as it's elegant, right?
She would look beautiful in any dress,
but this one looks too tight.
It could make it hard for her to breathe.
It looks nice and elegant.
But I think it's a little too simple and conventional.
She's looking for a dress for her wedding ceremony.
I think she should wear something flashier than this.
Mother, why don't you try another one?
Right. Try another one.
What was that? It looked great on her.
Stop acting as if you were the one getting married.
I'm just trying to be more careful...
because it's not my wedding. All right?
Father, you look fabulous.
My, you look beautiful, Mother.
I'm so lucky to have her.
Ms. Na, you look like a different person.
Do you like it?
I like this one the most.
Of course I like it.
If you like it,
I like it too.
How about we get married right here and now?
- My goodness. - Stop it.
Oh, right. Mother and Mr. Bang, let me take a photo of you two.
Great. A photo would be nice.
Look here.
One, two, three.
One more time.
One, two, three. Smile.
I'm better than her at taking photos.
One, two, three. "I love you."
Did you have fun at the wedding dress shop?
Don't ask. I'm exhausted now.
Why did you even go there knowing that you'd be tired?
I heard that Cho Hee would be there too.
Since the bride's daughter-in-law was going to come,
I had to be there too as the groom's daughter-in-law...
to even up the number.
Why do you always make things so complicated?
You should've seen Father's face at the shop.
As Ms. Ppageumjang walked out in a wedding dress,
Father grinned from ear to ear.
I didn't realize how big his mouth was.
Goodness, you.
Gosh, I'm so tired. Can you massage my legs?
Oh, my. That feels great.
My gosh. You must've walked a lot.
Gosh, your feet stink.
If you don't want to get kicked with those feet,
massage my legs properly.
(Cometome)
Hi, Mom.
Yes, everything is ready.
All right. I'll double-check.
Then I'll see you at the wedding tomorrow.
Ms. Seo, your mother-in-law's wedding is tomorrow.
Yes. Eui Kyung, thank you so much.
She found a really nice dress thanks to you.
Does it mean you won't live with your mother-in-law anymore?
That's something you should be congratulated on.
If that's what it means,
I'd rather feel sad.
The fact that I'll no longer live with her makes me sad.
Are you serious?
Yes, I'm serious.
I'm really sad. I mean it.
Anyway, congratulations, Ms. Seo.
I'd like to congratulate you too.
You must feel as if you were marrying your daughter off.
Exactly. I feel slightly that way.
Have a great time at the wedding tomorrow, Ms. Seo.
Thanks. Everyone, thank you for congratulating me.
Ms. Seo.
Mr. Ko, what brings you here?
I heard that your mother-in-law was getting married.
Here. This is my wedding gift for your mother-in-law.
Oh, my. Mr. Ko.
I've heard about all kinds of personal occasions,
but I've never congratulated any of my employees...
on her mother-in-law's wedding.
Did you come to my office to give me this?
Thank you, Mr. Ko.
Mr. Ko, no other company cares so much about the employees.
Come on. Did you just realize that now?
That's disappointing.
Maybe I should try harder.
Oh, right. When Mr. Ok Soo Hyun and Ms. Lee Mae Ri get married,
I'll pay extra attention.
Pardon? Thank you, sir. I'll do my best to make that happen.
Mr. Ko, you're mistaken about us.
Sorry? What do you mean by that?
Come on. We're not dating.
I was talking about each of you getting married individually.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Oh, I see. I understand. I'm sorry.
Soo Hyun, don't focus solely on your love life.
You should work hard too. You know that, right?
Of course I know that.
Right, Mae Ri?
Pardon? Well... What did you say?
I made only the side dishes that you like, Mother.
I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you. I'll enjoy it.
I appreciate this, Cho Hee.
This is the last meal...
that we can have all together.
Why would you say such a thing?
It's not like I'm moving to a foreign country.
She's right. And she'll come to see us often. Right, Mom?
Of course I'll see you often.
Pa Ran, didn't you say you prepared a gift for her?
Oh, right.
Auntie Sun Duk, I bought something you could wear on your honeymoon.
I'm impressed. What has gotten into you, Pa Ran?
It's so thoughtful of you.
Just pass this to Auntie Sun Duk.
Okay. I'll do that. There.
My goodness. Hey, what is this?
Come on. I can't wear something like this.
You should wear it as a newlywed.
I got you matching pajamas. Those are popular these days.
But still, I don't think I can wear this.
Why not? It's so cute.
You and Mr. Bang would look so cute in them.
Really?
Thanks anyway.
Oh, right. Pa Ran.
Come to think of it, it must've been stressful for you...
to pick up side dishes and hide them.
I'm glad you know how hard it was.
You should be happy with him, so that all my efforts...
won't go down the drain.
Grandma, I have something for you too.
Here you go.
Thank you so much, Ri An.
I'll keep them on my bedside table and think of you...
whenever I see them.
Okay.
Now that everyone has given her their gifts,
let's eat up.
Gosh, I'm so hungry that I could eat a horse.
Right. Let's all eat up.
Mom, have some bulgogi.
Okay, I'll eat. Eat up.
Cho Hee made this by herself.
It wasn't her mother.
I can't believe this day has finally come.
Honey, I can tell that you're sad.
It feels strange.
I wonder if I'm going to feel the same way...
when Ri An gets married.
I don't know. Maybe you will.
While preparing Mother's wedding,
I felt as if I had been marrying Ri An off.
Oh, I almost forgot my pillow.
Why?
You have to sleep without me tonight.
Where are you going?
I'll send Seok Gu instead.
Seok Gu? Why...
Why would Seok Gu sleep here?
What...
Cho Hee.
Had I opened up my heart to you sooner,
we would've made a lot of good memories.
Looking back now,
there are so many things I should've done differently.
Mother.
I wish...
I had been a more mature mother-in-law.
I'm sorry for everything.
Please don't say that.
I was never a perfect daughter-in-law either.
I have only good memories of you.
So...
you should forget all the painful, sad memories.
And start making good memories with Mr. Bang...
and be happy with him.
No matter what.
Yes.
And I want you to promise me one thing.
Sure. What is it?
From now on,
think that this is where your parents are.
Whenever you need someone to talk to,
let me be the first one you call.
I'll be on your side no matter what...
as if I were your mother.
Can you promise me to do so?
Yes. I'll do that.
I promise you.
Mother, thank you for everything you've done for us.
(The All-Round Wife)
- I'm relieved, Father. - "Father"?
I wonder if your parents know that you're seeing me.
Are they going to get married or something?
I'm dating Sun Hae.
I want to be with her every single day.
Seo Kang Rim from Mungil-dong sent us a story.
You two look like you're going to make an important announcement.
I've finally found the family of that con man.
