My goodness.
Come on, Dad.
That house is so precious to me.
It means so much to me.
My gosh, will you stop crying?
You're making me...
tear up as well.
(Sauna, Open 24 hours)
(Episode 96)
Eat this.
You haven't eaten anything all day.
Dad.
Forget it.
Eat it yourself.
You'll collapse at this rate.
If you collapse, I won't be able to live with myself.
If you care so much about me,
why did you sell my restaurant and my house...
and make me become homeless?
I didn't know things would turn out this way.
Jin Sang.
Yes?
How could you lose everything in such a short amount of time?
I just want...
to die here and now.
I just want to lie down, close my eyes,
and not wake up tomorrow morning.
Dad, don't be like that. Will you please have a bite?
No, it's okay.
Dad.
I'll try to come up with a way out of this mess.
Don't think.
If I think all night, I'm sure I'll come up with something.
No, don't think.
I need to think in order to come up with a solution.
Just don't think!
Dad.
Don't think! Don't think of doing anything!
What did I tell you?
I told you that it's dangerous when an idiot starts to think.
Don't think of doing anything. Just don't think at all.
You scare me every time you think of doing something!
Don't you dare think.
Have a bite.
Eat up, Dad.
There you go, you darn punk.
My goodness, you fool.
You darn fool.
My goodness.
Eat it yourself, you punk.
My goodness.
If your ex-husband returns, will you take him back?
What?
She's Yu Ri's dad, and you guys were married once.
So will you take him back if he ever returns?
So I've been thinking, Mom.
Now that she's gone...
to the States,
can you, me, and Dad go back...
to living together again?
What in the world have I done?
Hae Jin.
I must be getting punished big time.
Are you going on a date?
I'm just asking because you're so dressed up.
I gave you three days. Don't forget that.
Okay. Three days.
But can we at least try to get along during those three days?
I'm sure you don't want Gwang Ju to look back and remember us...
fighting all the time.
- Dal Nam, it's you. - Yes.
Isn't Mr. Oh here yet?
What?
No.
That's weird. I wonder why he still isn't here.
Didn't he always drop by...
before his kid finished school?
I won't be going there for a while.
I'll end everything with my ex-wife first.
Then I'll go see you.
You should've called beforehand.
Then I would've waited for you on the first floor.
I just thought I'd come myself.
It's this way. Director Kang is waiting for you.
Mr. Oh, please have a seat.
Okay.
This is Han Yeo Wool,
the actress we're trying to cast for the main role.
Yes, I know her very well.
I really enjoyed your script, Mr. Oh.
Thank you.
I figured meeting her in person might help you with your script.
Plus, Yeo Wool has a lot of questions for you.
I look forward to working with you, Mr. Oh.
Yes, me too.
He should be casting people by now.
Gwang Ju, you're home.
Where is Dad?
Did he leave to meet Ms. Kang?
Yes, I think so.
Gwang Ju, let me cook something delicious for you.
- What do you want to eat? - Anything.
You're so cute.
Give me your bag and go wash your hands.
I'd like a small carton of milk and some smoked eggs.
No, wait. I'll take smoked duck eggs instead.
Gosh, I'm almost out of money.
Dad, have a bite.
I told you that I'm just going to die.
Will you please stop saying that and eat already?
What if something happens to you?
Then how will I ever be able to face Jin Bong?
You punk, why would you ever see Jin Bong?
I'm not going to let you ruin her life as well.
Don't even dream of seeing Jin Bong again.
Don't even go near her, you punk!
Well...
Then hurry up and eat.
I need to go somewhere.
Where are you off to this time?
I'm going to report this to the cops and get some money.
My goodness.
You didn't eat or drink any eggs or sikhye.
So this time, I bought smoked duck eggs for you.
You can eat them while I'm gone.
Duck eggs.
I'm hopeless...
like a duck egg in the Nakdong River.
Really? Is there really no way?
You stamped a legal seal on the contract.
Yes, but it was a complete scam.
They'll say they received it through a legitimate process.
And you need to be able to prove that they scammed you.
That's the only way you'll get compensated.
Your case got registered.
So you should go home and wait.
My gosh, I don't have a home! It's gone!
Darn it.
I don't even have enough money to buy duck eggs at the dry sauna.
Hello, Mother.
Yes.
There's going to be a wedding next month?
What kind of person is he?
Did you look into what kind of guy he is?
I see. Okay.
She's getting married again?
I thought she already married that Michael guy.
I guess she plans to get married 10 times.
Ju Ri is getting married, not mother.
- What? - Ju Ri is getting married.
The guy's father is a chief prosecutor.
Good for her.
This is why people need to know their places.
I can't believe Jin Sang tried to become a member of our family.
In the end, he just made a fool of himself.
My gosh, I'm sure the ring...
is somewhere in the river.
My goodness.
(Milk)
My gosh.
It's very tormenting not to eat the food...
that's right in front of me.
Yes, let's think of Jin Bong.
Let's eat for Jin Bong's sake.
What are you doing?
Mother, you're home.
I was cooking dinner so I could have it ready by the time you came home.
You cooked all this yourself?
Yes, I started cooking this morning.
What is the matter with you?
I told you...
that I can't stand seeing you play house.
So I told you to sit in your room and reflect on yourself.
I did that already.
But I know I still have a long way to go.
Mother.
Can you taste this for me?
I tried really hard to make sure it tastes right.
Why bother? I can already imagine what it will taste like.
Why does she try so hard...
to win my favor when she's pregnant?
Does she think I'll be easy on her or something?
No.
Let's not get weak.
What is it?
- Mother. - Yes?
Can we eat dinner together?
Director Kang will be home late because of a meeting.
Yu Ri also went to a friend's birthday party,
so I need to go pick her up later.
No, you can eat by yourself.
And by the way,
don't even try to do the dishes after you eat...
because you'll obviously break something.
Once you're done, go to your room and reflect on yourself.
You need to keep doing that.
I haven't eaten anything all day.
What?
Well,
I just didn't want to eat alone.
But still, why would you starve?
Don't you care at all about your baby?
Mother, will you please eat with me?
Ms. Kang, we should close.
Everything is sold out. We're out of ingredients.
Oh, really?
I guess I should buy more ingredients tomorrow.
I'll clean up then.
(Cutie)
- I think this is how it should go. - Right.
This looks nice.
What about this?
(Cutie)
I don't think it's too bad.
It's me.
Can you stop being so angry at me?
I'm sorry.
Your message has been recorded.
How does it taste?
It's not too bad.
Okay.
How old were you when your mother passed away?
I was three.
So you don't even know what she looks like?
I saw her photos, so I know.
I saw them thousands of times.
When I meet her in paradise after I die,
she might not be able to recognize me,
but I'll recognize her in an instant.
Mother.
This may sound like an excuse.
But I was really happy when Hae Jin married my brother.
I always had to eat alone,
get dressed,
and go to school alone.
But after Hae Jin came,
she cooked for me, and ironed my school uniform.
She felt more like...
a mother to me.
Mother, to be honest,
I was never really picky with food.
Because my dad always cooked the same kind of stuff.
My gosh, come on.
What is it?
Your one and only son got discharged from the army.
You should've cooked something nice for me.
But this is all I get?
The rice is cold, and this pollack stew is from yesterday.
We need to finish it. It might go bad tomorrow.
I prefer the food they gave me at the military.
But once Hae Jin started taking care of me,
it made me want to be like the other kids at school.
I sometimes wanted to complain about the food...
and ask her to buy me clothes.
At first, I was really grateful.
But later on, I totally forgot about that.
Just eat. Eat up.
Don't bother talking about the past.
I'm sorry.
My goodness, will you stop crying?
Stop crying and be nice from now on.
Then you'll be able to make up for it.
- Mom, what are you doing? - Hae Jin.
I... I'm not doing anything.
My gosh, I scolded her...
for being such a terrible cook.
And she's crying again.
You're not being nice to her when I'm not around, are you?
No, of course not.
I was scolding her. Look at her crying.
Really?
Yes, of course.
Hae Jin, did you eat?
I'm your sister-in-law. Treat me with respect.
Bring me some food as well.
Let me see if you did a good job.
Okay.
Shouldn't you be at the restaurant?
I came to check how she's doing.
I don't want you guys to become close.
Okay then. Good work.
It's me.
Can you stop being so angry at me?
I'm sorry.
Director Kang. Mr. Oh. Why don't we have some beer?
That sounds nice.
I'm sorry, but I think I need to go.
Me too. My beautiful wife is waiting for me at home.
Are you serious?
I need to drink with these guys?
Count me out. I don't want to get in between you guys.
See? I'm the only person who's willing to drink with you.
You guys might end up liking each other.
If you end up liking each other, you won't ever be able to break up.
I guess your dad's coming late...
because he's having fun with Ms. Kang.
He called earlier and told me...
that he's working at the broadcasting station.
He's just saying that because he doesn't want you to get jealous.
It looks like your dad really likes Ms. Kang.
If you find out that he likes her more than he likes you,
you'll obviously get jealous.
He leaves you home like this...
and is busy having fun with Ms. Kang.
Let's go to your room. You have me.
I'll read you a book and put you to bed.
Let's go.
Shouldn't you be going home?
Mr. Oh told me that he'll be home by 10pm.
He asked me not to leave you two alone.
Okay then.
Ma'am.
I'm sorry I was so rude to you.
Let's go.
What's gotten into her?
What should I read for you today?
This one looks nice.
Mom, here. Can you read me this?
I'll read that one next time.
Tonight, I'll read you this.
I'll make it really fun and exciting.
Okay.
Let's sit on your bed.
("Hansel and Gretel")
"A long time ago, in a small wooden cottage in the forest,"
"there lived a pair of siblings named Hansel and Gretel."
"Their mother had passed away."
"And they were living with their father..."
"and stepmother."
"And one day, the stepmother said this to the father."
"We're struggling so much to maintain a living."
"Let's just abandon those kids deep inside the forest."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"The father got startled and asked her that."
"And this is what the stepmother said."
"All they ever do is eat up the food we have left."
"Let's just leave them deep inside the mountain."
"At first, the father refused."
"But the stepmother kept convincing him,"
"and he eventually changed his mind."
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Are those cars for sale?
I think my son will love them.
"I was going to eat you up once you became nice and fat."
"But I guess I have no choice."
"I'll just eat you right now."
Mom, I don't want to hear this anymore.
Why not? Is it not fun?
It's scary.
Okay then.
But why did the dad abandon his kids in the mountain?
Because the stepmother told him to.
Think about it.
Kids always cry and require a lot of care.
But the stepmother can cook and clean.
It's more convenient to have her around.
So in the end, their dad got convinced.
Stepmothers are different from real mothers.
They're not her real children, so she doesn't care.
She was nice to them at first because she wanted the father...
to think she's a good person.
But later on, she probably got annoyed by them.
She just wanted to spend time with the father.
Your dad will probably do the same...
and end up liking Ms. Kang more than you.
Who knows? He might already like her more than he likes you.
No, you're wrong.
He told me that he loves me the most.
I'm not sure about that.
Then ask your dad...
if he will break up with Ms. Kang if you tell him to.
I bet he'll say no.
It's late.
You should go to bed. I'll put you to sleep.
- Where is Gwang Ju? - His mother put him to bed.
Gwang Ju's sleeping.
I spent time with him all day, and I even gave him a bath.
I also read him a storybook.
Gwang Ju is so cute.
He's very naive.
She got along very well with Gwang Ju today.
I see. Thank you.
What's the matter?
You weren't sleeping?
Every time I'm about to fall asleep,
you toss and turn.
So I can't seem to sleep.
I'm sorry.
Mom.
Remember when you told me...
that the skies are rewarding me...
and that I'll continue to be happy from now on...
because they won't ever take back what they gave me?
Yes, what about that?
Do you still think that way?
Do you really think everything will be okay?
What's wrong? Is something worrying you?
No.
But I just feel a little anxious.
Trust me.
You deserve to get rewarded more than anyone in this world.
I know you're my daughter,
but I've never seen anyone who's kinder than you.
Maybe I'm nervous because I was given such an amazing reward.
I guess I'm just overwhelmed.
What exactly are you talking about? Codfish Soup?
Yes, Codfish Soup.
You gave up Jin Sang and got Codfish Soup in return.
I'd call that a good deal.
- Gwang Ju, are you going to school? - Yes.
You're all grown up. You can go to school by yourself.
Dad, did you stay up all night?
Yes, I was busy writing the script.
What's wrong? Do you have something to say to me?
Yes.
What is it?
Dad, the thing is...
Yes?
What if I tell you that I don't like Ms. Kang?
Would you break up with her if I tell you that?
What?
What if I tell you that I don't like her?
(Wanna Taste?)
He won't break up with her even if you don't like her?
See? What did I tell you?
You have two more days left.
If you don't leave tomorrow, I'm going to call the cops.
Gwang Ju has something to say to you.
Ms. Kang, can you please stop seeing my dad?
Mom, I drew this yesterday during art class.
You can look at it after I leave.
- Hey, you're here. - Why did you want to see me here?
