Original subtitles

Our country is fairly tolerant when it comes to alcohol.

You can buy alcohol at any time of day.

And you can drink alcohol practically everywhere.

(Who is considered an alcoholic?)

Among the two, who is an alcoholic?

You might think the man...

is a drunk, homeless person who can't keep himself steady.

But that's not always the case.

Bring it inside.

Some alcoholics work at some of the best companies,

work hard,

and are acknowledged as the best.

The core of diagnosing alcoholism...

isn't one's social status...

or work competency.

Cheers.

If you're losing the ability to control your drinking,

you might...

(Ju Yeop)

(15 Missed Calls from Ju Yeop)

Already be...

an alcoholic.

- Look at her. - She must be crazy.

Is she drunk?

Look.

(Episode 1: A Perfectly Rational Alcoholic)

When did you get here?

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

I called you multiple times yesterday.

I didn't know, okay?

I was having drinks with Mi Yeon.

Geum Ju.

Do you love drinking that much?

Let me ask you.

Is it me or drinking?

Drinking.

- What? - I prefer drinking over you.

So let's call...

our wedding off.

Hey, Ju Yeop.

Listen to me. I can't believe it.

My dear son-in-law. It's still lunchtime, right?

I brought rice cakes for you to share with your coworkers.

(Bocheon Hometown Rice Cake)

Sorry?

What do you mean by that?

What?

Seven. Seven.

What's going on?

Geum Ju?

Han Geum Ju.

What?

Where did she go after making this mess?

Hold on. Is that...

Good gracious.

Han Geum Ju.

Get up at once!

Gosh.

Mom?

To drop by without notice. This is a bolt out of the blue.

"Without notice?"

You wanted to go furniture shopping for your newlywed house, no?

To choose a fridge and a washing machine.

I told you countless times today would be the day.

Right.

Geum Ju. Explain to me what happened.

I heard it all from Ju Yeop.

You told him you liked drinking more than him...

and to call the marriage off.

He's got a loose tongue. Did he already tell you?

Goodness.

So it's true. My gosh.

Geum Ju. Are you out of your mind?

When you have a social life, you end up drinking a bit.

How can I marry a guy who can't even understand that?

What was that?

When we dated, he loved how I could...

hold my liquor.

But when we set the date, he suddenly changed...

and nagged at me tons every single day.

I can't live with such a guy my whole life.

No, never.

Marriage is no joke.

Go tell him you were in the wrong this instant.

Swear you'll quit drinking on your knees.

No way. Why must I quit drinking...

because of him?

I'm not obsessed with men, okay?

- Goodness. - My body feels sore.

My gosh.

Are you okay? Mom?

Do you think I can be okay right now?

What is it?

"Contact us anytime."

Seriously. Whatever.

Oh, dear.

"My son-in-law. I'll make Geum Ju apologize on her knees."

"Please come to her studio."

He read my message.

But he won't reply or pick up my call.

What now?

What do I do?

He must be here. Oh, gosh.

Welcome, Ju Yeop.

They gave me a freebie.

What's this?

You didn't eat anything the whole day.

I ordered your favourite chicken soup with mushrooms.

As if I can eat right now.

If I could, I'd kill you right now.

Please, Mom. That's enough.

Enough of what?

What will you do? Ju Yeop won't answer my calls now.

Really. Don't call him.

I'm not marrying him.

Do you think it's that easy to call it off?

Marriage isn't like booking a hotel room.

You can't just cancel it out of whim.

I can cancel an overnight hotel room after a second thought.

I'll be spending my entire life with him.

If it doesn't feel right, I should cancel the wedding.

You... Stop talking back.

Marriage or whatnot.

From now on, I'm only going to focus on work.

"Focus on work?"

I heard you got a long break for working ten years straight.

There's no work to focus on.

I applied for reinstatement, okay?

(MFH HR Team Park Yeong Hun)

It's from work. Great timing, right?

Gosh, I'm sorry. It just happened.

You can't imagine how particular the future in-laws were.

It was evident that my daughter would have a hard married life.

I told my daughter to call the marriage off.

I'll treat you to a meal sometime. Okay.

Must you go that far?

Or what? Should I tell everyone my daughter broke off...

the engagement for drinks?

Aren't you embarrassed?

- Why would I be embarrassed? - Shut it.

I cancelled your marriage, okay?

Keep the story straight.

So why in the world...

are you making me hush and bring me down here?

Why? Did you just ask why?

It's from work. Great timing, right?

"Dear Senior Engineer Han Geum Ju."

"I'm afraid we hired a replacement during your extended leave..."

"Following ten years of service."

"A reinstatement will not be possible."

(A reinstatement will not be possible.)

"A reinstatement will not be possible?"

Goodness.

Your marriage failed, and so did your reinstatement.

Your studio rent ends this month, right?

The newlywed house you bought with the deposit and all your savings.

You put it up for sale, didn't you?

You've got nowhere to go. As if I'd leave you behind.

I have places to stay, okay?

I can stay in a study room until the house gets sold.

Shut it.

Don't say a word. Quit drinking.

Rehabilitate before you go back.

I have no intention of quitting drinking.

Is that so?

Then you can cut ties with me.

Sever our mother-daughter relationship, okay?

What are you waiting for? Drive.

I will.

Good.

I don't have to visit you anymore.

Really? Am I all better now?

Goodness.

Goodness me.

No.

Not at all.

You haven't gotten any better.

In fact, you've gotten worse.

Then why won't you come back?

What's the point of me coming all this way to see you?

My patient isn't taking her meds,

which makes things harder for the doctor.

I don't treat patients who refuse to listen to me.

I'm sorry. I forgot, that's all.

I was too busy working out in the field.

What? Have you been working after I told you to rest at home?

Come on. You've got to be kidding me.

- Nurse Baek. - Yes?

I'm done coming back here.

I wish you health and wellness.

Goodness.

Why didn't you listen to him?

Why else?

It's harvest season, and we take turns...

working for each other.

How could I sit it out?

Someone would have to replace me.

Dr. Seo...

- Me? - Yes.

What? That's ridiculous.

Dr. Seo, you're back out here.

Tell me about it.

He stood in for me the other day,

and today, he's covering for Soon Ae.

Isn't he the sweetest?

It's not always easy to help others.

I'm helping myself, not others.

What do you mean by that?

What if someone who's unwell gets worse by working?

I'll be called over,

which means making a house call this far out.

I don't want the trouble,

so this is me helping myself.

Okay, fine.

We hear you, so let's all take a break.

While we're at it,

let's hear the doctor sing a tune.

- Yes! - Sounds good to me.

How does that sound good? The work is tiring enough,

but you want me to sing?

- Don't be like that and sing. - Sing for us.

- Sing for us. - Sing for us.

- Sing for us. - Sing for us!

I said I wouldn't.

- Sing for us. - Sing for us.

On a long rainy day

I'll be the world's biggest umbrella for you

Walk without concern

When the walk has you tired

- Happy now? - Come on, that's not fair.

- You can't cut it short. - Seriously?

- Sing some more. - Continue.

Ladies, let's focus on our task.

We need to harvest the entire length of this field.

Let's move it, ladies!

We don't really have to.

- Fine. - That was nice, though.

Goodness me.

- Can you believe it? - My gosh.

Goodness.

- Take care. - Good job, guys.

- You're the best. - Come by again.

See you.

Ms. Kim Jeong Ja...

really shouldn't be farming given her rheumatoid arthritis,

and that worries me.

As for Ms. Park Mal Sun, her gastritis isn't improving,

so I'd like to adjust her treatment.

Speaking of which, Ms. Lee Jeong Rye might have osteoporosis...

Stop.

You just clocked out.

Take a breather first.

Here. Inhale...

and exhale.

Nicely done.

Thanks to you, I received this wonderful gift.

What a treat.

How did you get so good at farming?

I helped out my grandmother often...

while living with her.

That's right.

You said Bocheon was her hometown.

Yes.

It's beautiful here.

The view alone is soothing to the soul.

Doesn't this fill you with great joy?

(Bocheon Lake Pension)

Move faster, will you?

I'm coming.

Darn.

Cheers, Dad.

What?

Look who it is.

It's our precious youngest daughter.

Hey, Dad. It's been a while.

- You too, Hyeon Ju. - What's the occasion?

You were set to spend the week shopping for your newlywed house.

Tell me about it. We deliberately didn't call...

to help keep your mind off things.

What are you doing in the middle of the day?

Oh, this?

We cleaned up after the guests left...

and just got started.

Call it alcohol-fuel led productivity.

I was only going to have one drink...

before the twins got home.

The gentle breeze...

seemed to be urging us to drink.

Anyway, my youngest daughter...

sure is lucky with food.

This is plum wine made last year,

and it's to die for.

Have a welcome drink.

- Join us. - Come on.

Put that away!

Welcome drink, my foot.

This is all your fault.

I blame you.

(Congratulations Bocheon High Graduates)

When other kids ate jjajangmyeon,

you got her to drink,

deeming it prior learning.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

No, don't.

And that wasn't all.

You'd spend all night drinking with her,

calling it learning in line with the curriculum.

(Top boozer)

You even had her take an extensive course on drinking,

claiming one had to drink their way to success.

All of that turned her into the boozer she is today!

What on earth are you talking about?

That brat...

broke off her engagement because of alcohol.

What?

She was dumped for drinking too much?

I'll teach that scum a lesson.

It's your daughter who's the scum.

She broke it off, not him.

She called off the engagement because she couldn't stand him...

nagging her about not drinking.

- What? - What?

Hear me loud and clear.

Alcohol will be banned from this house.

If you want to drink, do so at your own risk.

You'll pay for it with your life!

Honey.

I heard Geum Ju's side of the story,

and she has a point...

Get out.

Should I?

I knew he'd pull something like this.

I got a bad feeling from him the day we first met.

We gave him just a sip of a drink,

but he passed out on the living room floor.

I saw through him right then and there.

He was never meant to be part of this family.

Tell me about it.

Darn.

All this plum wine went to waste.

You'll hurt yourself.

Leave it. I'll clean it up.

Is Mom okay?

She's fine. You know how she is.

She burns like a torch, only to fizzle out soon.

It won't last, so don't worry.

I'm sorry for causing all this.

Don't. Don't you ever say that.

He's right.

How can you spend the rest of your life with someone...

who constantly nags about social drinking?

You were right to break off the engagement.

You get it, Hyeon Ju.

Of course, I do.

Marriages can fall apart,

even for couples who are hopelessly in love.

Take me, for example.

Breaking off an engagement...

is far better than getting divorced.

What?

Even divorce isn't frowned upon these days.

Exactly. Divorce isn't frowned upon,

so who cares about a broken engagement?

I couldn't agree more.

Who makes a fuss over a broken engagement these days?

- Right? - That's right.

What? She broke off the engagement?

Out of the blue?

That's right.

The mother-in-law was a nasty one.

How bad was she?

I don't want to discuss it at all.

She was sure to make Geum Ju's life difficult,

so how could I let this marriage happen?

That's why I called it off.

Good for you.

Geum Ju's your precious daughter.

Besides, who gives daughters-in-law a hard time these days?

Good for you.

How bad was it?

Like I said, I don't want to discuss it.

Knowing the family would harass her if she stayed in Seoul,

I made her come with me since she had taken time off from work.

Unbelievable.

How terrible was she that you had to break off the engagement?

Gwang Ok, what did this woman do?

Come on. What did she do?

Tell us.

Gwang Ok, come on. What was so bad?

Tell us, will you?

What actually happened?

She was just like you!

I couldn't stand how argumentative and persistent she was.

What are you yelling at me for?

Someone might think...

the engagement was called off for another reason.

Come on.

When did I yell at you?

By the way, only Yeong Ung's hasn't paid back the loan, right?

Can I pay it back tomorrow, Gwang Ok?

Again?

Haven't I excused you enough?

Gwang Ok,

you're normally okay with it.

Why are you so snippy today?

What?

What do you mean?

I wasn't snippy at all.

I was asking her a simple question...

I didn't know the answer to.

I was about to say she shouldn't worry about it.

You can get it to me tomorrow.

Thanks, Gwang Ok.

Right.

Well, I...

I should get going.

See you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow. - Just like that?

- But... - Are you leaving?

Hold on.

The apron and the bandana are ours.

(This is Mirae Studio.)

(This is Mirae Studio.)

(Attached is the pre-ceremony video you requested.)

My goodness.

The pre-ceremony video? Ridiculous.

Marry me!

(Ju Yeop and Geum Ju are getting married.)

(We promise to be happy together for the rest of our lives.)

Gosh, we were just embarrassing ourselves.

- Aunt Geum Ju. - We're here.

- Aunt Geum Ju. - Aunt Geum Ju.

- Aunt Geum Ju. - Aunt Geum Ju.

- Aunt Geum Ju! - Aunt Geum Ju!

- Aunt Geum Ju! - Yes, the room is available.

- Oh, my. - You can check in at 3pm.

- Let me see. - Yes, hold on.

- Have you been well? - All right.

- How many of you are staying? - Did you not miss me?

We missed you.

We missed you so much.

Is that so? Me too.

Aunt Geum Ju, let's go out and play.

I want to ride the carousel at Bocheon Lake.

Should we go then?

Okay. Let's go.

Giddy-up!

- Aunt Geum Ju, I'm here! - Aunt Geum Ju, hello.

- Take a picture of me! - I'm right here.

- I'm right here! - Aunt Geum Ju!

When did they grow up so fast?

My dear nephews, Woo Ri and Na Ra.

- Hey, Yeong Rong. - Geum Ju.

Did you really come to Bocheon after breaking off your engagement?

Yes. Hey, hold on.

I did.

- I broke off the engagement. - Why did you do that?

This is for your ears only.

He nagged me so much about drinking a lot.

It got so bad to the point he made me choose...

between him and alcohol.

So? What did you say to him?

What do you think?

I told him I'd choose alcohol...

and wanted to break off the engagement.

What did you say?

Are you happy now?

Are you satisfied now that you told the entire town...

that you're an alcoholic?

Come on, Mom. I'm not an alcoholic.

I just like to drink. That's all.

I ought to beat up that mouth of yours first.

Fine. I'm sorry!

I didn't know she was eavesdropping.

If anyone's responsible for this, it should be her.

You just can't help but have the last word.

I need to sew up your lips so you stop drinking.

You! Oh, my.

- Gosh. - You just like to drink?

- Don't be absurd. - Come on!

- Mom, please calm down. - Honey, you need to stop.

- She hasn't taken a leave in ages. - Mom.

Just let her rest!

- Gosh, let go of me. - Mom!

- Geum Ju, run now. - You... Hey.

- Go now. - Hey, stop right there!

Come on!

How did I end up getting dragged to Bocheon?

This is annoying.

Hey, Geum Ju. Is it true?

Did you break off the engagement because you like drinking more?

I heard it clearly.

Geum Ju, what will you do now? Why do you keep being reckless?

I'll take care of myself.

In this tiny town, Bocheon, the news of my failed engagement...

- spread faster than wildfire. - Geum Ju.

I've got alcohol here, the kind you'd give up your engagement for.

How about a drink with dried baby pollack?

Ever since you were a child, you have been the genius kid.

You were the pride of Bocheon.

I wonder how our golden girl ended up like this.

This is upsetting.

Well, you're not my mom.

Gossiping about me was more satisfying...

than the dried baby pollack.

It's true that Geum Ju was known to be a bit of a drinker.

A bit?

She likes drinking more than getting married.

That says everything, doesn't it?

I can hear you.

I became the talk of the town,

more interesting than peeling onions.

Is it true that your aunt can't get married...

because she likes drinking more?

- Yes. - Stop.

You kids.

It's not that I can't get married because I like drinking.

I chose not to get married because I like drinking more.

There's a huge difference between the two.

They are clearly two different things. Okay?

Good going.

What a fine lesson you're imparting to the kids.

Seriously. Nothing has changed in the boondocks.

How can my news travel this fast?

You know that Gi Beom's mom is our town's main source of gossip.

Move.

(Bocheon Auto Repair Shop)

Besides, she runs numerous group chats.

If she shared the news in those group chats,

even a newborn in Bocheon would know about your breakup.

Darn it. Why did it have to be her of all people?

I mean, couples break off engagements.

It's not a big deal. Why are they making such a fuss?

Your breakup isn't the issue.

It's because you chose drinking over marriage. That's why.

Come on, you know how it is.

I'm in a male-dominated industry.

Without drinking, I can't bond...

with any of my colleagues.

I, Han Geum Ju,

worked really hard to survive.

I treated drinking with them as Part Two of my work.

But he nagged me about drinking.

How could I not call off the wedding?

I can't believe you're making excuses.

You were always into drinking.

Exactly.

It's a huge relief to work in an industry that suits me.

If I were in his shoes, I would've bought him...

hangover cure drinks and rooted for him.

Well, aren't you just a saint?

Even so, you guys dated for some time.

You don't seem to have any lingering feelings.

"Lingering feelings?" What's that?

A name for new black raspberry wine?

By the way, what's he doing? He should've been here already.

My gosh, I'm so stressed.

- What is it? - How much longer...

is this going to take?

Right. You're not being a good host, you know?

Your dear friend came to see you after a while.

I'm sorry.

I promised to fix this car by the end of today.

He said the brake was the problem, so I checked everything.

But I can't seem to fix the problem.

See? The warning light is still on.

I'm so stressed out.

Can I take a look?

I'd be grateful then.

It looks like I'm going to work in a skirt today.

I got it.

- It's off. - No way.

It never crossed my mind that the circuit could be the problem.

You're indeed the golden girl, Han Geum Ju.

Here I come.

My gosh.

Yes, I fixed it.

Okay. I got it.

What? Are you close to the owner?

I'm close to him too.

This is Ui Jun's car.

Ui Jun? As in Seo Ui Jun?

You didn't know?

He's at Public Health Center Bocheon Substation.

Darn it.

I guess the guy I saw was indeed Seo Ui Jun.

- What? Did you run into him? - We briefly passed by.

I thought I was mistaken.

But what's he doing here?

We also thought we were mistaken at first.

A successful doctor in Seoul...

moved to a public health center in the countryside.

You know that the lack of medical care...

in the countryside is a serious problem. Right?

The public health center closed down over a year ago.

Then Ui Jun so kindly moved here.

The whole town was in a festive mood.

Not even the return of their ancestors...

would have made them that cheerful.

Anyway,

he's known as Almighty Seo in Bocheon.

The lifesaver of our town people.

So somebody moved back...

and got the warmest welcome anyone's ever seen.

What? What about me? What's your point?

- My gosh. - Darn it.

By the way,

Seo Ui Jun probably heard about my news, right?

What? Are you embarrassed?

Me?

Me?

My gosh, you're ridiculous.

Why would I feel embarrassed?

But how did you and Ui Jun end up falling out?

You guys used to be really close.

Wait. Did he...

nag you for drinking a lot?

You little...

Whatever. I don't want to talk about him.

I'm leaving.

Ui Jun will be here soon.

- Why don't you say hello? - Have you gone mad?

Why would I do that?

I have a busy life too!

Come on. How come...

no one told me that Seo Ui Jun was in Bocheon?

We couldn't tell you...

because you always threw a fit whenever he was mentioned.

Whatever. I bought the ingredients for doenjang jjigae.

Don't worry. I'm hanging up.

(Year 2007)

(Han Geum Ju)

Hey, transfer student.

What are you doing? Why aren't you on your bicycle?

Isn't it obvious?

Oh, no. Let me take a look.

It's fine. Just go on your way.

Well, I can't.

Hey.

You haven't heard about me yet.

Ta-da.

Why do you have...

I'm the best girl in town...

when it comes to fixing anything with wheels.

When I was young, they called me a kid mechanic.

And there was this TV show called "Talent Scout." So I...

- You starred on the show? - I almost did.

But I grew up too fast.

- What? - Hey, hold on.

This will take just three minutes.

Pretend you're heating up the instant curry and just wait.

What?

That ungrateful jerk.

Why did he move down here?

Never mind. I just don't have to see him.

I'll make sure I never run into him.

Gosh, thank...

Han Geum Ju?

It's been ages. I'm glad to see you.

Are you?

I don't think we're on such friendly terms.

I heard the news. Your marriage...

I called it off and came back home.

His nagging about me drinking...

was a nightmare. So what?

You what?

What's this?

You heard about me, didn't you?

I heard you were getting married not long ago.

I wanted to congratulate you.

But you called it off?

Because of drinking?

That's right.

But we're not close enough...

to give life updates and ask...

personal questions, are we?

I never asked.

You told me voluntarily.

Anyway.

Even if we bump into each other, let's act like strangers.

Like we have until now, let's ignore each other.

Okay?

I'll never eat doenjang jjigae.

Don't pick them up.

Stop, okay? I don't need your help.

I don't plan on helping, either.

Remember? You told me to ignore you.

My gosh.

Whatever. Don't let him bother you.

Either way, I erased him from my life.

I kicked him out, okay?

Dr. Seo. Mr. Kim Hyeong Im's physical therapy is done.

- I'll bring him to your office. - Okay.

Do your shoulders feel better?

As if she's all right.

Her heart must be broken.

Gwang Ok's pride...

comes from her two daughters.

But the eldest got a divorce...

while the youngest broke off her engagement.

Exactly. Who would've thought Geum Ju would end up like that?

Gwang Ok must feel humiliated.

Of all things, to call it off...

because of drinking. How is that even possible?

- Gosh. - That's why Gwang Ok...

made Geum Ju lie, which isn't like her.

Are you having fun? Because you sure look like you are.

It's just that...

now that even Gwang Ok...

has it tough because of her children,

I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted.

Oh, gosh.

(Yeong Ung Supermarket)

(Lake Makgeolli)

These darn liquors.

Have some of this.

- No more for me. - I'm full.

Is that so?

Then go and brush your teeth.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Dig in. - I'm done too, Dad.

How come? Eat more.

Are you upset?

It's okay. The rumour will die down in no time.

Actually...

- It's too greasy. - Same here.

I'd love to have some beer.

No.

Soju pairs with pork belly.

Look.

Come on. Dad.

Cool beer is the best with pork belly.

You're all wrong.

It's somaek when it comes to pork belly.

Shake the soju.

Open. Take that.

Three. And beer?

Seven.

It's cold. It's ice cold beer, okay?

Gosh.

- Geum Ju. - Perfect.

- Geum Ju? - It's the golden ratio.

What?

The tornado?

I forgot about it.

Here it goes.

Bottoms up.

Leave the food out...

You're making me crave booze more!

- Cheers! - Nice. Cheers!

Guys. The beer is hitting the spot.

It's so good.

I'll grill the meat a little more.

Darn it.

Really, stop.

What? Stop drinking.

No way.

Here. Have a glass.

Why aren't you in bed at this hour?

As if I'd feel sleepy in this situation.

For goodness' sake.

You've got scissors right here.

It's there for you to use.

Why use your teeth to rip it? Here.

I can't rip you apart now, can I?

You're going too far.

Why did you have to bring me home?

Lower your voice.

Stop bullying me, will you?

I'm a human being. I get hurt too.

"Hurt?"

As if you'd get hurt.

You live as you fit without considering others.

I live as I fit?

- Me? - Am I wrong?

Think about Ju Yeop, who got hurt because of you.

Don't you feel bad for him? Don't you?

No. I don't. Not one bit.

Got it?

That wench!

Really, I brought her up all wrong.

Who would feel bad?

Here. It's all good now.

The sensor data is all in the normal range now.

I knew it.

We couldn't have fixed it if it weren't for you.

Oh, right. Your leave starts tomorrow, right?

Yes.

How about some drinks?

Wait. Let's see.

Why don't we have it next time?

I'll go home from here.

I'm here to help with the payment.

(Pregnancy Test Kit)

It's 5 dollars and 50 cents.

Don't worry.

I was planning to call the marriage off and break up with her.

Wait. I'll just dump her today.

- Really? - Yes, I promise.

So stop crying.

Or you'll scare our baby.

Got it?

Don't cry.

(Ju Yeop)

Why aren't you taking it?

It'll kill the mood when we're drinking.

- Here. Hang in there. - Stick it out.

- Let's drink! - Let's drink!

Is it me or drinking?

Drinking.

So...

let's call our wedding off.

Han Geum Ju, what the heck are you saying?

Let me be clear.

I broke off this engagement.

I did the dumping.

Because...

you mean less to me than drinking.

Where did you go so early in the morning?

I just needed to get out of the house.

Good.

Follow me.

What's this? Where are we going?

Shut it and follow me.

Hold on.

Mom!

Darn.

Where are we even going?

Mom?

Mom, wait.

Is this your way of going on a date with me?

Are we on our way to bury something or what?

Forget it, I'm done.

I'm too exhausted to go any further.

You won't even tell me where we're going.

Unbelievable.

It's a good day to be buried.

Goodness.

How did you even think of this?

Why does she suddenly want mineral water?

She sure knows a lot of ways to torment me, doesn't she?

Of course.

I'll place a tile in Han Geum Ju's name.

A donation of 500 dollars...

Actually, I'll wire 1,000 dollars.

Did she say 1,000 dollars?

Nongmin Bank,

- account number 333... - So 333...

What do you think you're doing?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm showing my sincerity here,

praying that you never even think about drinking again.

Can you excuse us?

Get over here.

Forget it. Why would you even do this?

Why else?

I'm turning to Buddha for help.

I told you I didn't need to quit drinking.

You still haven't come to your senses!

Get out of my way.

I'll wire the money this second.

What the... Hey!

Hey, stop right there!

Han Geum Ju, just wait till I catch you.

You! Stop right there.

You'll be done for once I catch you.

That brat.

Hey!

I told you to stop!

You'll be done for once I catch you.

Hey.

Hey! Geum Ju!

Goodness me.

Geum Ju!

Geum Ju, my gosh.

I'll say it again.

I have no plans to stop drinking.

I won't quit, so give up.

Hey. You!

Oh, dear.

Goodness.

My gosh.

That brat.

Are you all right?

Unbelievable.

It's funny meeting you here.

My gosh.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

Goodness.

What do I do with Geum Ju?

Drinking made a mess of her life,

but she still hasn't learned her lesson.

I hear you give lectures on alcoholism.

Would there be a good way to get through to her?

I don't know what caused a huge rift between you two,

but you two were once best friends.

For old time's sake, could you...

The first step...

in overcoming alcoholism is admitting there's a problem.

Goodness.

Give it some time.

She'll try to change after seeing how desperate you are.

They say people will change if you patiently trust them.

Will trusting her patiently...

make her change?

Try one.

Careful, it's hot.

- It's seasoned perfectly. - Is it good?

It'll be perfect with a glass of makgeolli.

- Right? - Yes.

Maybe we can have a glass before your mother gets home.

If we get caught, she'll kill us.

You're home.

Where's Geum Ju?

She'll be back if we wait.

Will she be back before the memorial service?

Perhaps she was too embarrassed to face the relatives...

and took off.

Could that be it?

(First daughter Hyeon Ju, Dad)

Mom must be hysterical.

She'll throw an even bigger fit when I get home.

(First daughter Hyeon Ju, Dad)

(Seon Uk: What's up? Let's grab a bite.)

Why are you already grilling the meat...

when they're not here yet?

We'll order more when they get here.

Wait for it to cook first.

Beef can even be eaten raw.

Sir, hold your horses.

Why do you lose control whenever you have meat?

Are you a wild beast?

Don't you cross the line.

That's no way to talk to your brother-in-law.

Says the one who's crossing the line.

- Eat more slowly, will you? - Shut it.

- But this... - This doesn't have to be cooked!

- Earlier, I said... - But beef is pricey enough.

You can't possibly be arguing after dragging me here...

when I wasn't interested.

I get it. Did you call me here to watch you two argue?

No one was arguing.

He was just getting on my nerves.

Right back at you.

- Why do you keep... - Forget it.

I'm not eating with you. Bye.

- Hey. - Fine, we'll stop.

Sit back down.

You're always like that.

Let's just eat in peace. You promised.

Got it.

By the way, Geum Ju will join us. That's okay, right?

What?

Well, sure.

Does she know I'm here?

Of course, she doesn't.

We planned this surprise event to help you two make up.

Make up over what happened long ago?

What exactly happened? Why did you two stop being friends?

As if you need to ask.

Geum Ju probably did something wrong.

It wasn't like that.

Good. Then, you can extend an olive branch.

Exactly.

You know how juvenile she can be.

It's this room.

Take what happened recently.

How could she...

choose drinking over her fiancé and break off the engagement?

Who's he to even talk about me?

Ui Jun, I bet the rumour left you speechless too.

Right, I guess.

Why was that jerk invited?

I thought that when I got to see her again,

she would've become a much better person.

I thought that when I got to see her again,

she would've become a much better person.

Fine.

I wanted to be a better person too.

Don't worry.

I was planning to call the marriage off and break up with her.

Wait. I'll just dump her today.

Is it me or drinking?

Drinking.

I can't let a cheater like him dump me.

I should be the one dumping him.

That way, it won't be humiliating.

Seriously? Who serves mineral water instead of liquor...

for the memorial service?

I do.

Gosh, you can't do this.

I can.

Jeong Su. Say something. Come on.

- Well... - He has nothing to say.

His daughter called off the wedding because of drinking.

- What? - What?

She called off the wedding?

- Because of drinking? - Jeong Su, what's this about?

- What do you mean? - What's this about?

Her fiancé nagged her about drinking, her favourite pastime.

So she called off the wedding.

She's something else, isn't she?

But I wonder...

who's responsible for turning her into the woman she is now.

It's pointless to bring up the eldest son...

of this family who taught her how to drink at a young age.

You guys also offered her drinks...

at family gatherings. I believe you played a part too.

Am I wrong?

If you feel responsible in any way,

don't bring up drinking in my house.

I...

trust her and will wait.

My daughter knows what's right and wrong.

So she will quit drinking.

She will never have a sip...

I'm home.

Oh, my.

What is this? Why does it keep running away?

My gosh. Come on.

- Oh, no. - What?

Uncle.

Aunt!

- Are you here to see me? - Geum Ju.

That's right. Today was Grandpa's memorial ceremony.

- Geum Ju. - Yes?

How could you come home drunk?

We can't serve liquor on the altar because of you.

What did you say?

What? There's really no liquor on the table.

No way. Grandpa loved to drink.

I knew it.

Look what I brought today.

When I laid my eyes on this, I knew I wanted to buy this.

Hold on. Move, Dad.

Let me pour you a drink.

- Grandpa. Let me... - Geum Ju.

Your mother is furious. Stop it.

- What did you say? - No.

- Hyeon Ju. - No.

- Stop it. - Let go of me.

Let go. What's going on?

This is the altar for Grandpa.

It must have some liquor.

Look.

He just nodded his head.

- Did you see that? - You're crazy.

- Hey. - Let me pour you a drink.

- Give it to me. - Let go.

- Mom is angry. - Let go of me.

- Let go of the bottle. - Gosh.

- What's wrong with you? - No, what's wrong with you?

- Let go. - Geum Ju.

Let go!

It seems...

you won't change...

even if I trust you and wait for you.

Remember what I said?

You had to put your life on the line if you wanted to drink.

Pour your grandpa a drink.

Then you can join him.

Give him as much liquor as you want.

Oh, no.

Mom, are you all right?

No, I'm not.

I'm not all right!

You crazy wench!

- You! - Mom!

- Come here. - Mom!

- No. - Stop it!

- What are you doing? - You...

No!

How could you do this to me?

- Stop it! - Oh, no.

- Honey! - Go and join him.

- Unbelievable! - Dad, stop her.

- No! - Geum Ju.

Are you up at last?

Seo Ui Jun?

What is this? Where am I?

What happened?

Explain what happened, you jerk!

Hey, Han Geum Ju.

You really need to quit drinking.

Hey, hold on.

This will take just three minutes.

Pretend you're heating up the instant curry and just wait.

(Epilogue)

What?

Why isn't this working?

Hey.

You said this would only take three minutes.

You told me to pretend I was heating up instant curry.

By now, I could've shopped for ingredients at the market,

cooked curry, finished washing the dishes,

- and still had time to sleep. - My gosh.

Wait a bit.

I get it now.

Why you weren't offered to be on "Talent Scout."

- You're not talented at all. - Hey.

Everyone in Bocheon knows I'm talented.

Did you just laugh at me?

- Are you looking down on me? - How could I not right now?

You're not the talented kid in Bocheon, but the fool of Bocheon.

- What? - Look in the mirror.

Darn.

Let me see.

No.

Hey, let's get going.

I hear the batteries on scooters can also run out.

No.

I'll put my reputation as the talented kid on the line...

and fix this no matter what.

I'm almost done. Give me a second.

I got it.

Hey, I fixed your bicycle.

You have to come with me to get my scooter back tomorrow.

You're not the talented kid, but the thug of Bocheon. Right?

What did you say?

Just focus on driving properly.

Okay. Hold on tight then.

Just keep pedalling. Are we on a turtle or what?

It's because you're heavy.

Darn it. I'll just walk.

(Second Shot at Love)

I'll cut ties with anyone who sells booze to my family...

starting today!

Not being able to drink at home is annoying enough.

But the whole town banning us from drinking is absurd.

How can everyone abide by that order?

Stop!

Everyone is trying to help you.

Geum Ju. Let's stop drinking.

- Live up to your name. - What?

She went in such a rush...

as if something had happened.

Darn it.

Hey, Geum Ju. Wake up.

Gwang Ok. Geum Ju, she...

- Geum Ju! - Honey!
