(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Hello? This is Seo Kang Rim.
Oh, hello, sir.
More classes?
Yes, I was wondering if you could teach one more class this semester.
Professor Choi Sun Hae took a leave of absence suddenly.
She put me in a difficult position.
Oh, right.
I heard that she's going to the US as a visiting professor.
A visiting professor?
I haven't heard anything about that.
Pardon? Is that true?
Yes.
Understood, sir.
Attorney Seo, is everything okay?
Seul A.
Did your mother tell you anything about Professor Choi Sun Hae?
What?
My mother?
Yes.
I guess you can't answer my question.
All right then.
Sir, it's not like that.
Then what is it?
(Seo Kang Rim Law Office)
Mom?
Could she have done something?
Hi, Seul A. What?
Mom, I need you to be honest.
About what?
You didn't go to see Professor Choi Sun Hae...
to talk about that matter, did you?
I already told you...
that I decided to let it go.
Why do you ask?
Attorney Seo asked me about you and Professor Choi.
He seemed troubled when he asked.
You have nothing to do with it, right?
Of course not.
So what did you tell him?
I couldn't tell him anything.
And he didn't ask me anything else.
He just left the office hastily.
He left?
Where did the attorney go?
I don't know.
Anyway, if you didn't do anything, that's all that matters.
Let's talk when I'm home.
Bye.
Right. I can't have that attorney coming here to see me.
Ms. Ma, the customer will come by to pick that up today.
Finish it up quickly, okay?
Mr. Soo, I need to leave now.
- Let's go, Jun. - What? Now?
She just does whatever she wants.
What brings you here?
You didn't even call.
There's no way you're here because you wanted to see me.
I guess it's because of Sun Hae.
I've been wanting to talk to you about that.
I'm glad you're here.
Sun Hae said that she wanted to start anew in the US.
So...
I think you should let her go.
And...
Let's just wish her all the best.
Cho Hee.
Yes?
About the visiting professor thing Sun Hae told me about...
You knew it was a lie, didn't you?
Kang Rim.
I know everything, so let's cut to the chase.
Do you know that Sun Hae is being threatened?
Threatened?
You really didn't know?
She didn't tell you?
Wait, Kang Rim. What are you talking about?
What about the fact that Seul A's mother is involved?
You didn't hear about that either?
Are you saying...
that Seul A's mother...
threatened Sun Hae?
I guess she couldn't even tell you about that.
- Kang Rim. - I don't know what's going on,
but I will not let this go.
Whatever it is,
I will keep the woman I love safe.
I'll get going now.
Sun Hae is being threatened?
Yes, sir.
I'll submit the leave of absence form soon.
No, I'm planning to stay overseas for a while.
Yes. I understand.
Mr. Kim.
Yes, ma'am.
You see, something came up,
and I'm going to leave the school soon.
Are you going somewhere?
Well... That's all you have to know.
I referred you to another professor for a teaching assistant job.
You'll hear from the professor soon.
Oh, thanks.
But why are you leaving suddenly?
Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kim.
Sun Hae.
Cho Hee. What brings you by?
Sun Hae, did you...
I'm sorry.
Can we talk in private?
- What? - It won't take long.
Okay.
Can you give us some privacy?
Yes, ma'am.
Would you like something to drink?
Do you want some tea or coffee?
Sun Hae.
I'll ask you straight up.
About what?
Have you been...
threatened by Han Seul A's mother?
Have you?
Cho Hee.
Answer me!
Yes, but don't worry.
It'll be sorted out soon.
You don't have to worry about it.
So it's true.
What on earth did she tell you?
Did she demand money?
Cho Hee, I...
want to take moral responsibility...
for my dad's wrongdoing.
I chose to do so.
So don't ask me about it. Please.
It won't be resolved even if I pretend I don't know.
Kang Rim knows everything too.
He knows you're being threatened by that woman.
He knows?
Yes.
Then I should leave as soon as possible.
Sun Hae.
I'm sorry.
Explain to him for me that it's not true.
(Public Service Center)
(Marriage Certificate)
Thank you.
We got it.
I want to see it too.
Sure. Go ahead.
Grandpa, is Grandma officially your wife now?
That's right. She and I are legally married now.
Wow, you must be so happy.
Congratulations, Grandma.
That's so sweet. Thank you, Sa Rang.
Honey, can you see this?
"Husband Bang Bae Soo."
"Wife Na Sun Duk." It's written right here.
Come on, Brad. You silly.
Of course, I can see that.
I wasn't this nervous at our wedding.
I don't know why my heart is pounding like this.
Honey.
Let's live happily together.
Let's do that, honey.
Let's live a happy married life.
Me too. I want to live happily with you two for a long time.
You will, of course.
Right. Sa Rang, let's all live happily together for a long time.
Let's get going.
Look. I think that's where couples take a photo to celebrate.
You two should take one too.
Really?
She's right, Brad. Since we're here,
let's take a photo.
Come on, Grandpa.
- Okay. - Let's go.
I'll take it for you. Have a seat.
Oh, will you?
How sweet. We should hold this.
(We just registered our marriage.)
Look here.
One, two, three.
Grandpa, smile bigger than that.
One, two, three.
They came out great.
I'll send these to my mom and dad.
Sa Rang, why don't you come and take a photo with us?
Sounds great.
Let me take it.
Okay.
There.
Wait. Where is Ms. Na?
Oh, dear.
My goodness. Brad, that's not how it's done.
- Really? - Yes.
- I can't find the right angle. - I'll say.
Grandpa, let me try it.
- Okay. - Go ahead.
Here we go.
One, two, three.
Great job.
Where are Dad and Ms. Na?
They went out to celebrate their marriage registration...
over a romantic dinner.
What are you looking at?
The photos they took after they registered their marriage.
I took those photos, Dad.
Did you?
My little princess, did you go there with your grandparents?
Yes, Dad.
I can't believe they registered their marriage after all.
Dad, our family has five members now, right?
What? Well, you could say that.
There are five of us, including your grandma.
That's so exciting.
"Exciting?"
The thought of living with my mother-in-law...
is giving me a terrible headache.
Why?
You seemed confident when you said you could win her over.
Are you giving up already?
Give up? Never.
Your future and Sa Rang's are on the line.
I will never give up.
Never. That won't ever happen.
My gosh.
"Mother, welcome home."
"Mother, shall I give you a massage?"
"Mother."
Stop it. You're scaring me. I'm trying to eat.
How do I sound?
Do I sound like a nice and sweet daughter-in-law?
I must say, you're one persistent woman.
I didn't know I married such a scary woman.
You see, I can be very patient and resilient.
How about I try a nasal voice?
"Mother."
- "Mother." - My gosh.
That's so annoying.
Sa Rang, what do you think?
"Mother." Is this better?
There.
My, it smells really good.
Dad, how much longer will it take?
It's almost done, Ri An.
Nam Gu, are you sure you're doing it right?
You won't burn it all, will you?
Just shut it and watch me. Here we go.
It's done.
It looks great. I'm impressed.
Don't be surprised yet. Taste it first.
All right. This one is for Ri An.
Gosh, it's hot.
It's hot. Blow on it first.
- Okay, Dad. - Nam Gu, give me one too.
Sure. Here you go, Seok Gu.
Gosh, it's so hot.
So? It's good, isn't it?
Dad, you're the best. This is so good.
Nam Gu, why don't you start selling carp bread?
During your six months off work, you can open up a store...
in front of your school or the building I work at.
What do you say?
Dad, you're taking six months off?
No, Ri An, I'm not.
Enjoy it.
Keep your mouth shut and just eat, okay?
Seriously.
It's tasty.
Ri An, that must be your mom.
Hey, honey.
- Hi, Mom. - Cho Hee, you're home.
Yes.
I'm home, honey.
Honey.
That means Kang Rim knew about it the whole time.
That's not all.
He also knew something I didn't know.
Apparently, Han Seul A's mother...
has been threatening Sun Hae.
Professor Choi was being threatened?
Yes.
Without even knowing that,
I told Kang Rim he should let her go.
Going through a breakup is hard enough.
If he finds out what happened between your father and hers...
Fortunately, he didn't seem to know about that.
Honey.
Why don't you tell him everything before he finds out?
No. I can never do that.
He was going to marry her.
He deserves to know why she broke up with him.
Even so, if I told him the truth,
he wouldn't be able to handle it.
That's what you think, honey.
It's what I think?
Yes.
What if Kang Rim finds out later...
that you and Professor Choi kept it from him?
What would you do then?
If I were him,
that would scar me even more deeply.
Even if you're right, Sun Hae begged me not to tell him.
And at this point, for everyone's sake,
I think it's best that he doesn't know.
I don't know about that.
Whether to accept the breakup or not...
Kang Rim should be the one to decide that.
Telling him to just let her go...
without letting him know why she has to leave him...
is too cruel, Cho Hee.
(Sisters Side Dish, Premium Dry Cleaning)
Which one is better? This one or this one?
I'm not sure.
I think the one on your left is better.
Really?
But the color is too dark.
I look better in light colors, you know.
Whatever you choose to wear,
just make sure to dress neatly, okay?
Don't you worry.
I already chose the shoes and makeup style...
that will make me look neat and tidy.
I don't know why I can't stop worrying, Poong Geum.
To be honest, I'm worried too, Jang Geum.
Come on.
Oh, and I'll take my book too.
I'll affectionately sign a copy for them.
But would his parents like a romance novel...
for young people?
I'm sure they will.
You and Mom enjoyed it too.
Also, if I tell them that it tells the love story of me and Jae Min,
they will definitely like it.
Cut it out. My gosh. You're unbelievable.
Right. Don't forget to take it with you.
It's the first novel you wrote.
It's the best way for you to show them who you are.
Right, Mom?
Hold on. What should I write in the book?
What should I write?
Hey, Dong Ha.
What are you doing here?
What do you think? I was waiting for you.
I heated them up. They'll keep you warm.
It's cold. Let's get going.
- Okay. - I'll take you home.
Oh, right.
I'll be able to look after Jun in the afternoon.
What about your job as a teaching assistant?
I won't be working there for a while.
Why not?
Professor Choi said she'll be gone.
Why is she leaving?
She won't quit teaching there, right?
I don't know,
but seeing as how her classes for next semester have been canceled...
What's the matter, Seul A?
Dong Ha, you should come over some other time.
I need to talk to my mom about something urgent.
Sorry. I'm off.
Seul A.
Go to sleep, my baby
Mom.
You startled me.
You might wake Jun up.
Mom.
You lied to me, didn't you?
What are you talking about?
What did you say to Professor Choi?
What did you tell her to make her quit her job at the school?
Is she going to quit teaching?
Mom.
What did the attorney say?
I mean, did Choi Sun Hae say something to him?
Did she say that I threatened her or something?
Mom, did you really do that? Did you?
I don't know.
Mom, we may be poor,
but let's not do anything to be ashamed of. Please.
Hey, you refuse to believe what I say,
but you believe what that attorney says?
Then why even bother asking me?
Go and ask the attorney instead.
Ask him if your mom, Ma Gab Soon, threatened Choi Sun Hae.
Mom!
If you don't have the guts for that, don't say anything.
If you keep acting like this,
I'll cut all ties with you.
What?
Fine. Do whatever you want.
I'm starting to get tired too.
Go ahead and do that if you can.
Choi Sun Hae, you asked me not to tell anyone,
and then you snitched on me to the attorney?
- Poong Geum. - Yes?
Is Bo Ri not joining us for breakfast?
She doesn't want to eat.
She said she should skip breakfast so she'll look good in her outfit.
My goodness.
Kang Rim,
you and Sun Hae should pick your wedding date.
Didn't Sun Hae say anything to you?
Pardon?
No, she didn't.
Tell her she doesn't have to figure it all out on her own...
because we're happy to help her plan the wedding.
Your mom said she'd help you guys with the preparations...
as if she were Sun Hae's mother. Right, Jang Geum?
Yes.
But I should ask them if they want my help first.
Tell Sun Hae to come by when she's free.
Maybe she's been busy. I haven't been able to reach her.
I'm worried she might not be well.
Is that because she had an upset stomach that day?
She got sick because of Jun's mother.
Gosh. That woman made her so uncomfortable.
Seriously.
I hate that we crossed paths with that kind of woman.
We crossed paths with her?
What?
Didn't we tell you?
About Seul A, the girl who works with you now...
What about Seul A?
It turned out that her father...
was your dad's business partner...
who used to be your dad's friend from work.
What are the odds? Right?
Then Dad's friend who passed away...
That's right. We found out about this only recently.
That's why your mom invited Seul A's mom for dinner,
and we ate with her and Sun Hae.
But then that woman started talking about what happened in the past,
which totally killed the mood.
Sun Hae got an upset stomach because of her. It was awful.
Now... I asked you to see me...
because your promotion was discussed...
at the recent board meeting, Ms. Seo.
The higher-ups have high expectations of you.
So make sure you don't make any mistakes...
on the Bangsoo Construction project.
Do you understand?
Oh, I... Wait, sir.
Did you say, "promotion?"
Yes, that's right.
Ms. Seo, how does it feel? Doesn't it cheer you up?
It motivates you to work hard too, right?
Yes, absolutely.
I'll make sure to finish the project without any mistakes.
That's good. It's about time you got promoted.
Don't you think, Ms. Seo?
Yes. I'll look forward to it, sir.
Please have a seat.
That's okay. It won't take long.
Then would you tell me what it's about?
Well...
I heard from Bo Ri...
that you met my family.
Yes. And I'll be introducing Bo Ri to my parents today.
Actually, I have a favor to ask you regarding that.
I'm worried if Bo Ri might...
do something to make your parents uncomfortable or upset.
I understand. But don't worry.
I'll make sure Bo Ri's feelings don't get hurt.
Thank you, Mr. Yang.
(Hankang University Law School)
Hey, Choi Sun Hae.
What did you say to the attorney?
Hey, why did you come back here?
You want to know why I'm here?
Yes. This is a school.
Besides, I promised to give you more money.
You promised?
You acted like you were going to give me all the money you had,
but then you ran to the attorney and snitched on me.
My gosh. I didn't know you could be so sly.
What did you say?
I won't let you fool me again.
I'll go to the side dish store and tell Ms. Oh everything.
Consider yourself informed.
Wait. Stop.
Let go of me.
Ms. Ma.
What? I have nothing to lose!
Nothing can stop me!
My apartment hasn't been sold yet.
I told my realtor I wanted to sell it fast.
So please wait just a little longer.
I can't believe that anymore.
I'd rather destroy you than get that money.
Please, I'm begging you. Give me a little more time.
I said, let go.
I'll go to Ms. Oh's store right now and tell her...
that the scumbag who betrayed her husband and mine,
stole their patented technology, and caused them to die,
was none other than your father, Choi Hyung Nam.
What do you mean by that?
Kang Rim.
Sun Hae.
What is she talking about?
(The All-Round Wife)
Let's cheer up and live life to the fullest.
I'll prove that I'm a man who would never lose his confidence over this.
Nam Gu won't be teaching any classes next semester anyway...
What do you mean by that?
Is what I just heard true?
- I'm sorry. - That can't be true.
Kang Rim found out about everything.
What?
