(Still Loving You)
Mom. You sound like you're looking down on Eun Soo,
but she was hired for winning the contest...
and she beat me in the test to become a full-time employee.
Mother, I'm sorry.
Soo Ho, I'm okay. That's enough.
I want you to quit your job.
- What? - What are you talking about?
Quit your job and become a full-time housewife.
- Mom. - Don't.
Mother, I'm sorry to make you start your day off on the wrong foot.
Can I finish preparing breakfast for everyone now...
and tell you my decision when I get home in the evening?
All right.
Think carefully. I'm telling you to quit for your sake.
Okay. I'll keep that in mind.
Ma'am,
I cannot give you whipped cream when I refill your caffe mocha.
Doesn't "refill" mean filling it up again to how it originally came?
We can refill your coffee,
but we can't give you any more whipped cream.
You are just clueless.
All the other cafes refill whipped cream too.
Then, you should go to another cafe.
Who are you?
I was just passing by, and I thought you were asking too much.
Here. I will give you some money,
so you can refill your whipped cream at another cafe.
This is ridiculous.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
If you find a cafe that refills whipped cream,
I will buy you 10 cups of coffee.
Don't forget to let me know.
Gosh. He's annoying.
I don't know how to thank you.
Thank you so much.
Don't worry about it.
I run a business too, so I see many rude customers like her.
This is nothing.
Goodness. He's not only funny but also modest.
I really want to thank you properly.
Would you like to have dinner with me?
That's okay. You don't have to do that.
Please don't feel pressured.
I just want to thank you properly. That's all.
Also, you said you will tell me the rest of your love story.
Well...
I didn't help you in exchange for anything.
I stepped up just because I work in the service industry too.
So you don't owe me anything.
I will have coffee next time.
Goodness. Can't he even have a meal with someone he likes?
He's so shy.
Thank you for your hard work.
Did you skip workout because I gave you too much work?
Workout?
I'm thinking of exercising in a park as it's getting warmer.
Which park? I thought I could use some fresh air when I exercise.
I haven't decided yet.
Oh, right. This is for you.
What's this?
I heard your daughter got married.
I wish you had told me too.
It was a small wedding with families only.
You don't have to give me a wedding gift. Thank you, though.
If you feel pressured because I like you,
please take this for old time's sake.
Mr. Koh, you're making me feel very uncomfortable.
You're just my old boss and a customer.
Please don't expect me to grow feelings for you.
Yeon Mi...
This is my workplace. Please leave now.
It wasn't me.
It was her.
Dr. Kim, would you like to eat out?
Or should I order delivery food?
I'm good. You should go ahead without me.
Are you not feeling well?
Shall I buy you something to eat on my way back?
I just don't have any appetite.
- Enjoy your lunch. - Okay.
You know it's hard to recover when you get old.
That's true for both your body and heart.
Right. She must be heartbroken because of me.
Soo Hyun, Bit Na likes spaghetti vongole.
Come in.
Soo Hyun, let's go out for lunch.
How about spaghetti vongole?
I craved spaghetti vongole until yesterday,
but I feel like eating tomato-based pasta today.
Right? Okay, let's eat that.
- Let's go. - Okay.
What's wrong with middle-aged men?
Don't you even feel embarrassed? You pick your teeth anywhere.
Just brush your teeth.
Hey, don't you think that's harsh?
You always tease me for my age.
Do you know middle-aged men's sorrow?
As I'm old, I'm getting gapped teeth and get food stuck in teeth.
Eun Soo, aren't you going to hold a house warming party?
Actually,
I live with my parents-in-law.
I gave you a wedding gift, but I don't even get free food.
Ji Eun, you don't give a wedding gift to pay for the meal.
It's to congratulate the couple.
I'm sorry.
I will treat you to a meal outside later.
In fact, I feel sorry for you.
No women want to live with their in-laws these days.
You should have considered your husband's job.
As he's a mere assistant cook, you couldn't get your own house.
That's why you're walking on eggshells living with your in-laws.
I feel sorry for you.
Forget it. You don't have to buy me a meal.
You should live frugally to save money.
Cheer up. You can do it.
I can do it.
Do you want some coffee?
Yes, please.
Isn't it hard to live with in-laws?
It's okay so far.
We see each other at work and home.
We might even bond with each other.
It's possible even when two people hate each other.
How about we separate from each other before that happens?
I will move out from home, and you will leave the company.
These days, family doesn't mean so much to the family members.
Wouldn't it be nice to see each other only on holidays?
Whether you move out or not,
it doesn't matter to me,
but I'll never leave the company.
Your husband is working in the kitchen doing chores...
like throwing away garbage,
but you want to stick to your office job?
You never know what happens in your life.
Unless I do something wrong and get fired for a good reason,
I will never sacrifice myself for anyone else.
That's scary.
I didn't know you were so greedy.
I'm not greedy. I'm ambitious.
Thank you for the coffee.
We'll see how much longer you can stay here.
Thank you for the lunch. I'll buy you coffee.
That sounds good.
Please take care of my sister.
All right. Are you worried I might be a mean sister-in-law?
What? Oh, my. It's locked.
Is she having lunch?
That's weird. She never closed the cafe before the closing time.
Oh, no. What should we do?
- Eun Ho. - Mom.
Hello.
I'm sorry that I have only instant coffee.
That's okay. It's delicious.
- Please have some fruits. - Thank you.
Mom, don't put pressure on her.
I already asked her to take good care of Eun Soo.
It's not that. I'm just glad to see her again.
I want to ask her for that too, though.
Please don't worry.
Eun Soo is doing well.
My dad likes her too.
How about your mom?
Sorry?
We're still going through the process of becoming a family.
Ms. Park, please don't worry too much.
No matter what happens, Soo Ho is there to help her.
Thank you so much.
I'm sorry I made you feel pressured.
This is the joy of having a daughter-in-law around.
To be honest, I've been walking on eggshells with Bit Na.
I must say, it's really nice to have Eun Soo around.
Her food tastes even better than what our housekeeper makes.
She's also great at housework. She has such skilled hands.
Yeon Mi did raise her daughter well. I give her that.
By the way, what can I do...
to make her stay here for good?
Gosh, I have no idea now. I should just take a nap.
My goodness. Soon Jeong, Soon Jeong.
Soon Jeong, what on earth happened to you?
Seon Young.
Did you drink in this broad daylight? What about your cafe?
Did something happen?
Why was I born into this world?
Let me take you to your room. Come here.
Be careful. My goodness.
Watch out. Gosh.
Get some sleep, okay?
Goodness.
Seon Young. You don't love me either, do you?
It must be about a guy.
I bet she got dumped.
Why is it that there is...
no one who loves me in this whole broad world?
I'm...
so lonely.
Everyone is lonely.
I'm married, but I still feel lonely.
You married Beom Gyu because you two love each other.
What is wrong with my life?
I keep on having crushes on guys.
I keep getting fooled...
by love and people.
You're still pretty.
You'll meet a nice man soon.
When will that happen?
The skin here is starting to sag...
and so are my cheeks.
These guys are getting saggy too. Even my mood is sagging.
I feel so saggy all over and behind in life.
Everyone in our family including Beom Gyu cares about you.
No, no, not that. That's not what I'm talking about.
Love. I'm talking about love.
I'm saying I want to be in love.
With someone who holds...
and looks at only me.
Someone who kisses...
only me like this.
I want to be in that kind of love.
My love...
Love?
That's about all you're going to get from it.
Love doesn't feed you.
My love...
Gosh.
Ms. Kim, what are you working on?
Spring is here, you know. I'm potting flowers.
They're gorgeous. What's that flower?
This one...
It blooms in spring and summer.
If you remove the petals after the flower wilts,
it blooms into a beautiful flower again.
You don't need to be sad when the flower wilts.
I see.
This is why I love spring.
All kinds of colorful flowers bloom at this time of the year.
Go wash your hands.
I made candied sweet potatoes for you guys.
Hurry up. Go on.
- Can I take a photo of the flowers? - Sure, by all means.
I want to give this to you as a gift, but I have no money.
I thought I should send you a photo of it instead.
I heard this flower can re-bloom right after it wilts.
Do you like spring?
Of course. I prefer spring to gloomy winter.
Come in.
Aren't you busy these days? What brings you here?
Well...
- Min Jjang, Min Jjang... - Pardon me?
Well, I'm just... Min Jjang, Min Jjang...
What are you saying? What is the matter with you?
Aren't you Min Jjang by any chance?
The one who comments on my webtoon.
No.
There's a reader who defends me against all mean comments.
The way that person talks and the nickname reminded me of you.
Just because my name has Min in it? Isn't it too much of a stretch?
Seong Min, Kyeong Min, Woo Min, and so on.
There's a ton of names that end with Min.
Yes, you're right.
You'd be writing mean comments about me. Why would you defend me?
Anyhow, getting back into work mode after a long break hasn't been easy.
It takes me a long time to come up with ideas,
and I get tired after drawing for a little while.
I'm enjoying your webtoon though.
The rating is going up too.
Those mean, malicious comments scare me though.
They take my confidence away.
That person, Leave Me Alone, is a cyber-bully.
I bet that person posts those mean comment to de-stress.
How do you know Leave Me Alone?
Min Jjang!
I said I'm not Min Jjang!
You sure are.
- I'm not. - Min Jjang.
- I said I'm not. - I know it's you.
The one I made with raw soybean powder is...
- Are you developing new recipes? - Yes.
This is the low-sodium doenjangjjigae I told you about.
Is it going well?
I'm not sure yet.
It's not as tasty when it has less sodium,
and some versions ended up having as much sodium.
Our doenjang has less sodium than most doenjang on the market.
That's right. I have to use broth or other ingredients...
to dilute the salt,
but keeping it tasty and low in sodium at the same time isn't easy.
You're working very hard.
- Is there anything I can help with? - No, it's all right.
My colleagues have been giving me many good ideas. It's going okay.
All right.
- Are you there? - Yes, ma'am.
Where is Mr. Park?
He just got here. He's using the bathroom now.
What? How can he keep me waiting?
Hello, ma'am.
What's the matter with you these days?
You should be all ready and waiting for me.
Why do I have to wait for you?
My apologies.
You better not do this again.
Ma'am, excuse me for a minute. I have to use the bathroom.
What? My goodness.
Gosh, I'm speechless.
Yeon Mi, I'm sorry I lied to you about what I do.
Please answer my call.
Let's meet up this evening.
Yeon Mi.
- Is my coat ready for pickup? - Yes.
- It looks great. Here you go. - Thanks.
(Yoonga Food)
Ms. Park, I just emailed you the consumer analysis.
I told you that you have until tomorrow. You already finished it?
Yes. Mr. Lee, the technician said...
that he can come tomorrow morning.
I emailed you the translation of the mail from the research center.
Really?
What's your secret?
How did you finish it all so fast?
Mr. Lee, may I leave now?
It's way past the time to get off work.
Go home now.
Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow.
See you.
A married woman lives a different life.
Her mother-in-law must have told her to come straight home.
Still, she shouldn't leave before we do.
Don't be like that. She just got married.
He's right. It could be that she was missing her husband.
What's the matter with you two? You always take her side these days.
You'll know when you're my age.
You'll be walking eggshells around your superiors like me.
You have to find someone to help you climb up the social ladder.
Ji Eun, stop being envious of Eun Soo and get back to work.
Have you finished the proposal?
I'm working on it.
Soon Jeong, why did you take down the curtains?
I have to wash them since winter is coming to an end.
Why all of a sudden? I'm sure you're still hungover.
I have a plan.
I'm home.
Hi.
Eun Soo, put the groceries in the kitchen,
and wash these.
Curtains?
Yes. Spring has come.
I took down the curtains upstairs.
Take down the curtains downstairs and wash all of them.
Yes, I will.
Your mom runs a dry cleaner's, so this is easy for you, right?
Okay?
Okay.
Hyung Sik! Hyung Sik! Did you see it?
What do you mean?
The ratings. It was 9.4 points out of 10 yesterday.
- You got 9.5 points today. - Really?
Hold on.
It's true.
I didn't draw this, but I feel excited about high ratings.
Don't say that. You give me a lot of ideas.
That's nothing.
You get less harsh comments.
What was the ID? Min... Min Jjang.
Min Jjang counter argued every harsh comment.
Do you know that person?
By any chance, is it you?
I have conscience and pride as a webtoon artist.
Min Jjang is...
let's say, my guardian angel.
Guardian angel?
Is this person a woman? It's a woman, right?
It's better if you don't know. This would be enough.
Bean sprout smells bad.
Does it smell bad?
I can't eat bean sprout soup as it smells bad.
Make some dried pollack soup.
Okay.
Do you have a problem with that?
Then, I'll just skip dinner.
No, I don't. I'll make the soup.
We'll eat dinner without the men tonight.
Beom Gyu said he will have dinner before coming home.
Soo Ho and Soo Hyun will be late too.
Okay.
The soup is too salty.
The seasoned vegetables are bland.
Eun Soo, are you trying to avoid work already?
Is that so? I'm sorry.
Is it too salty? It tastes good to me.
The seasoned vegetables are delicious.
No. Everything tastes different today.
Did you do that because Beom Gyu isn't home?
No, I didn't. I'll do better from tomorrow.
Eun Soo,
did you think about what I told you this morning?
It would be hard to work and do household chores at the same time.
- Mother. - Yes?
I would like to continue to work as long as I can.
Being a full-time housewife is worthwhile,
but I'm happy that I'm building my career that I started late.
It would be hard to do both perfectly,
but if you help me a little bit...
Are you saying that we should do household chores?
No. I mean if you could be a little considerate of me...
We are all very busy.
I closed my cafe and came home because I got sick.
Are you asking me to do household chores too?
I can't do household chores anymore either.
Your father-in-law doesn't let me hire a housekeeper.
I work at the restaurant too. I can't do both anymore.
I understand you think you can do anything at your age,
but what if you have a baby?
Well...
To be honest, Bit Na is highly educated.
Do you really want an intelligent person like her to do chores?
It would be a big loss for this society.
From an objective point of view, Bit Na, who is more competent,
should keep her career.
Aunt, that's not fair.
Bit Na can have a job because she has a higher degree,
but Eun Soo should do household chores?
That's discrimination.
May I say something too?
Sure. Go ahead, Bit Na.
On the holiday, Mother wasn't home,
and we cooked without her. It was a complete mess.
We couldn't even prepare the food for the memorial ceremony.
Soon Jeong, Soo Min, and I don't know how to cook.
It's too hard for Mother to do all that.
So I think Eun Soo, a good cook,
should take charge of household chores.
What a logical argument.
She's so good at it as she's highly educated.
You heard her, right, Eun Soo?
It's not like we are poor.
You don't have to give us money for living cost or allowance.
Quit your job at the end of this month.
What are you talking about?
You are completely mistaken.
What do you mean?
Can't I say that as her mother-in-law?
That's right.
You're her mother-in-law, not the chairman of Yoonga Food.
Who are you to tell her to quit her job?
You should know that I said that...
for her own sake.
It must be hard for her to do household chores and work.
Her nose bled this morning,
and Soo Ho accused me of making her work too much.
Tell us, Eun Soo. Was that because of me?
No, it wasn't.
Eun Soo.
It's your decision whether you quit your job or not,
but remember that you are a valuable asset to the company.
Yes, Father. Thank you.
Bit Na.
Yes?
I understand that you're young and lack experience,
discuss with Eun Soo about how to split up the household chores.
Yes, Father.
Seon Young, tell Soon Jeong and Soo Min to help too.
I'm home.
Hi, honey.
That's too much. You are not living here by yourselves.
I missed you so much all day long.
Bit Na is here.
I don't care.
This feels so good.
Marriage feels real.
Please don't take my side...
and hug me in front of the family.
I was so embarrassed.
Why? Did someone tell you off again?
No. I'm just saying we should be careful as we're not living alone.
Okay?
Yes, I will follow your orders, ma'am.
You and your jokes.
By the way, doesn't your mother want to get remarried?
She's at her shop whenever I call her.
I think she might be bored.
I'm not sure about that,
but I think she has a good friend.
A friend?
Do you mean she has a boyfriend? Is that true?
I don't know yet, but I hope things will go well between them.
These days, I feel like I'm the only one who's happy.
I feel bad for her.
Yeon Mi.
I always keep you waiting.
I'm sorry.
I'm the one who should apologize.
I'm sorry for being dishonest with you.
I reflected on what happened...
and realized you've never told me yourself that you're a driver.
I don't even know what to say.
After all, I could've told you, but I didn't.
Why did you just let me think that?
That's...
At first, I missed my chance to tell you at the right time.
Then...
I couldn't be honest with you because I started liking you.
Did you think that I would not see you if you told me...
that you're actually a doctor, not a driver?
I'm not sure.
I know that this is just an excuse,
but I did try to tell you a number of times.
This is what I think.
We started off on the wrong foot.
We're realizing how wrong it is just now.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
It's not about figuring out who's at fault.
It's just like putting a button that doesn't fit a buttonhole.
Yeon Mi, don't be so angry.
I'm not angry.
I'm actually sorry.
You've given me so much,
yet I can't repay you.
Repay me for what? What are you talking about?
I'm sorry.
I can't do this anymore. Let's stop seeing each other.
Yeon Mi.
Thanks for everything you've done for me.
Let's end it.
I want you to have only good memories of me.
Yeon Mi.
(Still Loving You)
- Do you have a date? - I have an important meeting.
- Do I look like a mom? - Are you...
going out with those kids' dad?
Why did you drink so much?
Is something bothering him?
Please eat with us, Mother.
Why are you calling me Mother? Call me Mom.
I'm your mom!
Mom is acting all strange. She suddenly burst into tears.
- For her birthday? - Bit Na and I...
want to cook for her birthday.
I'll pay for it. You take care of the rest.
I can't do it alone. Please help me.
