I'm sorry I'm scaring you.

But the truth is,

I'm also scared.

Mom, I'm so scared.

Mom.

- It's okay. - I've been wanting...

to say this to you.

Mom.

I'm sorry, Mom.

After our hearts, once unwilling to come together,

aligned in an unfamiliar union,

the time...

long hidden between us...

stirred to life like magic.

(Episode 4: Unwilling, But United)

(Seohan Hospital)

I've received your payment. Please take your receipt.

Present the prescription slip at the corner of the hall.

Then you can pick up the medicine.

- Okay. Thank you. - Sure.

- I'll go and pick up the medicine. - Okay.

- Number four. - It might take a long time.

Should we wait for her in the car?

- Aren't you tired? - No.

- Aunt Seon Yeong. - Yes?

Mom will stay here with me for a while.

Really?

Did you two talk things through yesterday?

Yes.

My gosh. I'm so glad that you did.

Seriously. You should have opened up to each other...

and just talked from the get-go. My goodness.

She told you she was building you a house, right?

It's a relief that you finally know.

Honesty is the best policy for people, seriously.

A house? What house?

She's building a house?

- What? - What?

Build what?

I just build flavors.

I'm a chef, after all.

My gosh. Oh, no.

Well,

here's the truth.

Don't get upset. Just hear me out.

(Restricted access to the emergency room)

(Payment, Admission and Discharge)

I got it. Let's go.

What?

Why is she in a mood?

Why are you glaring at me?

I heard someone planned to fix up an abandoned house.

I told her everything.

There wasn't a single house around it.

The house was likely vacant for decades...

since it had no working door from what I heard.

I asked about the upside of fixing it up.

The so-called upside, barely offered after a long pause,

was the absurd answer that we'd have the mountain...

to ourselves.

My gosh.

What are you talking about?

It's the most elegant old house.

The residents call it the mansion.

- Yes. - Ask the owner of Mimi Shop.

Let's check it out then.

- Go where? - Let's go...

to the elegant old house people call the mansion.

Come on.

We can check it out later.

Hold on, Hyo Ri. Let's go some other time.

(Mimi Shop)

(Entrance)

Why are we stopping here?

We arrived back in the village.

You must be tired today. So let's rest up first.

No. Take me there right now.

Okay. Sure. It's better to get the bad news out of...

I can't be the only one who feels drained with him around.

No. Never.

- Hello. - Hello.

Are you headed home? Then can you give us a lift too?

No, we're not going home.

We need to stop by somewhere.

Where?

I can tell just by looking at you that you're headed someplace nice.

- No. - Let's go with them.

- No. You can't... - Get in.

- All right. We can just get in. - You shouldn't...

All right. Scoot over a bit.

There you go.

All right. Go inside a little more.

- That's it. Keep going in. Nice. - Oh, my. I can't believe this.

Oh, yes. Go.

(Mimi Shop)

(Entrance)

This can't be happening.

Hey, just wait.

It takes time to get used to the house...

given how it looks.

This place makes me feel I'm abroad.

Abroad?

Are you saying that the scenery is exotic?

Yes.

Check this place out.

Right here.

Serengeti!

This place is like a jungle. Just let loose several lions.

- It'd look like the Serengeti. - There are no lions here.

You know what? It all works out.

The mountain behind the house has a lot of boars.

Stray dogs are all over this place too.

You don't have to do a thing.

It will look like the Serengeti anyway.

That's it.

- Well done. - Bo Hyeon.

If boars and stray dogs fight here, who would win?

- That's not important right now. - Boars?

Right. What's important now?

It's more important to check this place out.

Come over here. This is crazy. Look at that.

Come here.

Why did he tag along?

What's this?

Hey.

I'm here because someone from the county office...

is coming to inspect the house for a change of use.

Did you bring Hyo Ri here to show her the house?

Well, thanks to somebody,

I ended up holding an open house for the entire village.

Hey, that's enough.

Gosh, this is crazy.

- What are they doing here? - Big brother.

This place is...

amazing.

The exterior and interior of the house look identical.

It's so bizarre.

In my opinion, this house has such unique charms.

Seriously. This place is crazy.

He's the only one on my side.

But nothing about what he says comforts me.

I think I've seen this house in a TV series.

A TV series? What TV series?

- "Kingdom." - I know that one.

Zombies run on the roofs and stuff.

You must be so happy that you're knowledgeable.

The people from the county office are here.

(On Official Duty)

- Hello. - Hello.

That house is a really bad idea. I'll never be on board.

You saw the people from the county office, right?

The paperwork is already done.

Besides, the house has been neglected.

But if we do a good job fixing it, it would look great.

It's not easy to find a house...

with a great view like that these days.

The house has that divine feng shui layout.

A mountain in the back and a river in the front.

Is there a river in front of the house?

- Or is it just around mountains? - More like buried in mountains.

It will cost a lot of money to fix that place up.

Do you have money?

With my medical bills,

you'll have to pay for so many things now.

Besides, you're not going back to work?

Whether you go back to your old job or get a new one,

we'll have to go back to Seoul.

How could you be so reckless as to build a house without a plan?

I've got my severance pay and the security deposit.

With that money, Seon Yeong and I...

will renovate the annex and run a restaurant.

A restaurant?

Do you have a culinary talent? Or are you a people person?

- A restaurant? - You're dissing me to my face.

Hey, quit trying to persuade me. The paperwork is already done.

I'll call them up tomorrow and withdraw our request.

It's already done.

No, you can't do that.

- Hey, Bo Hyeon. - Hello.

Don't be scared. We're just goofing around.

You see stuff like this on "National Geographic."

A mother and her baby growl at each other just to have fun.

That's what we're doing, right?

No.

Well, is your best available tomorrow?

- Sure. - Let's head out at 7am then.

- Got it. - Okay.

- Bye. - Okay.

Seriously.

My goodness.

"Your best?" What was that about?

I'm bringing in the next box. It has a red label on.

You have 1 more box of 15 mixed roses, right?

- Yes. Here's one more. - Okay.

The red roses came in last week.

As for the pink roses...

Those look about right.

Great.

You're good.

As expected from a former medical student, she's different.

There's nothing she can't do.

Do these really become flowers?

This is called grafting.

Taking a branch from the mother plant...

and planting it like this cultivates a seedling.

When you transplant that seedling into a pot,

it will bloom.

Interesting.

Whether it's flowers or people,

kids need to grow apart from their mothers.

If the mother embraces them too much,

they can't blossom into their own selves.

Take me as an example.

My mom let me roam free while growing up.

That's why I've grown into a fine guy.

True.

You were basically raised like a cow.

Your mom sent you out at sunrise...

and didn't let you come back home until sunset.

Come on. How can you call...

a person a cow?

What's wrong with that?

How about calling him a calf instead?

You jerk.

Bo Hyeon, get us more cases from the warehouse.

Got it.

I bet you were like a greenhouse flower.

When a greenhouse flower hardens,

it turns into a model student.

A foxtail.

What?

I was a foxtail, not a greenhouse flower.

Wild plants should just be left to grow naturally.

But my mom wanted to take good care of it.

Since it couldn't be raised in a greenhouse,

she kept pouring water on the foxtail growing by the roadside,

not realizing it was drowning and lacking oxygen.

Barely hanging on,

it became a sickly foxtail.

I was more like that than a greenhouse flower.

The former medical student is really something else.

Just listen to how well she talks.

I have feelings for Bo Hyeon.

What about you?

I asked what you think of him, Ms. Foxtail.

I have high standards.

Hey. Bo Hyeon is a really nice guy.

Exactly. That's why I might take an interest in him.

Lucky you, Bo Hyeon.

Stop with the silly talk and wrap things up, okay?

I need to stop by the post office on our way home. Is that okay?

We might be able to make about four rooms.

But that'd make the size a bit awkward.

Are they done?

Expanding the rafters...

doesn't seem entirely impossible.

Is that so?

If there's some space here, it'll look more open.

The beam is stronger than expected, so it should be fine.

Gosh, you're really smart.

- Sorry? - Stop it.

- What? Right. - Stop it.

No, what I meant is that you're very intellectual...

and detail-oriented.

Yes, you are.

You know a demolition team, right?

What?

I'm getting a call.

Hello? Yes, sir.

He got a call.

Come on. Don't worry about the field team.

I'll support you with precision.

Support me? Why?

Oh, right. You don't know about it.

You see, I'm quite a veteran...

in this field, you know? A veteran.

Right. Enough.

Good. I'll help you.

I'll work hard. Don't worry.

- I'll be right by your side, okay? - I'll see you tomorrow.

I need to go to Seoul tomorrow to look at the materials.

Is that so? Let me tag along.

Let's check the materials out, meet with the field team,

- and visit my house. - Okay.

Since we're all happy now,

how about some makgeolli together?

- Makgeolli, my foot. - Are you all down for it?

- You and I are going. - To where?

- To get makgeolli. - Just the two of us?

But they'd feel left out.

- No. - No way. Don't worry.

- Let's go. - Come with us. Come on.

- I'm sorry. - What's wrong with her?

It'll be my treat.

Thank you.

Sorry. I was just about to go.

This village...

is full of hot spots, right?

Yes.

It's really pretty.

Come with me.

- Oh, no. - No way.

I'm sorry. What do I do?

I'm so sorry.

- I'm sorry too. - No. I didn't step carefully.

I apologized, okay?

Are you crazy?

No.

Since you're already wet,

you can stop being scared and cross without hesitation.

The worst-case scenario is your already wet shoes...

getting even wetter.

Stop being a coward.

You're right.

I got scared for no reason.

It's nice and refreshing.

What...

You little...

Don't do it! Stop!

Stop it!

Are you okay?

I'm not!

Stop. Time out.

What are you thinking about?

I'm not thinking about anything.

Let's leave at 10am tomorrow.

Okay.

Where are you going?

I need to go home and organize some stuff.

Your mom is meeting with the work team.

Are you really going to build that house?

Yes. I'll take care of it.

No more complaining.

Are you dead? Get here right now.

Aunt Seon Yeong. I'm going to Seoul with you tomorrow.

You've got plans?

Are you unwell?

No. I'm totally fine.

Sleep after drying your hair.

- We're off. - Okay. Bye.

- Shall we? - Sure.

It'll be a long and tiring day today.

Get some rest. I'll wake you when we get there.

As if I have that luxury.

We need to talk about the design on the way...

and reconfirm our schedule.

There are all sorts of issues with our time frame.

Besides, I'm too sensitive to sleep when someone else is driving.

(Ryu Architects and Planners)

Unbelievable.

All sorts of issues, my foot.

You're too sensitive?

Here.

Have some too.

I can finally breathe now that you and your mom have made up.

You're just like me...

and don't hold grudges, right?

It's because I take after you that I got into med school.

Sure.

I wouldn't have gotten far if I were like Mom.

Exactly!

- You're so like me. - Totally.

Keen, sharp, and all that.

- You know... - Yes?

I'm not sure...

how to break it to Suk.

What's there to worry about...

when it's Suk?

She'll know how you feel better than you do yourself.

You're right.

It's Suk of all people.

Why was I even worrying?

You don't have to say it in so many words.

Suk will already feel it.

Isn't that how we're like?

I don't have to...

say it in so many words.

- Hey. - Hey, you're here.

- Hi. - Let's get going.

You won't believe what he did.

Lee Hyo Ri!

Hey!

I'm here.

- Keep it down. - What took you so long?

What did I say about yelling my name like that?

Who cares?

Hyo Ri!

- Don't. - Keep it down.

Goodness.

(Construction Permit Sign)

Are you sure you made an appointment?

It's been an hour already.

As if construction work ever runs right on schedule.

Curveballs are thrown at you all the time.

Come on, you know that.

Are you bored? Is that it?

Want to play word chain? Loser gets a forehead flick.

Forget it. I'm not interested.

- Monday. Five, four, - I'm not going to play.

- Three, two... - Yearning for the sun.

Let's see. Need.

- Five, four, three, - Seriously?

- Two... - Debauchery!

Have you lost your mind?

Why did you hit me when I kept the chain going?

You were out of time.

The simpler the game, the stricter the rules have to be...

to keep it suspenseful.

On top of that,

your choice of word was too suggestive.

But you're the one who first...

We'll play again.

I'll go first.

The foot of the mountain.

Ms. Lee!

Hey, captain. Let's go.

Not before we end this round.

Jeong Seok, we'll be turning 50 soon.

Come on.

Darn it.

My gosh.

I almost wet my pants in terror...

when I saw your mom that day.

How did you manage to keep all your limbs?

Unbelievable.

Congratulations on making it back alive.

- Congratulations to me. - My friend.

- Cheers. - All right.

The sunset,

the weather, and the beer.

I mean, what a day.

It's the day I've been waiting for.

I'll continue after finishing this beer.

Sweet.

It's not that big of a house,

but its age will make things difficult.

As if that matters...

when this is Ms. Lee's new house.

I'd gladly plaster the walls,

even if the house were on top of a mountain.

You're always all talk.

- Ma'am, one more soju, please. - Sure.

General Manager Jeong will also join us.

Mr. Jeong?

That's odd. Isn't he super busy with that new mini mall?

When I mentioned helping with your new house,

he pouted because he wasn't invited to help.

I didn't reach out because I knew he was busy.

You don't realize how you've lived your life...

until all the titles are gone.

Ms. Lee, you led a good life.

Many people are offering to help.

Did you hear that?

Here.

- Gosh. - Ms. Lee!

Do you have any idea how upset we were?

Hey! No way.

- Hello. - Hello.

They came here as soon as they heard the news.

That's why you'll never make it. You don't know what's good for you.

That's why we came running over.

- Swiftly take your seats, boys. - Got it.

Ma'am, bring us more soju, please.

Sure.

- Hey! - No way!

- Ms. Lee! - What are you doing here?

I can't believe you!

Ms. Lee, hi!

No way!

Get in here and sit.

We'll take a box of soju instead.

- Everyone is here. - All right, guys. Here you go.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- I'll enjoy. - Drink up.

Ms. Lee.

There's a wager to see who'll buy the next round.

- Settle it for us. - Sure thing.

- It's me, isn't it? - What do you mean?

We've known each other for 14 years.

- Fourteen years. - Yes, of course.

Mr. Han, we met in 2014 at the site in Uiwang.

Mr. Choi, we first met in Gwangju...

which was in 2018.

- See? - Okay!

Oh, dear.

I'll enjoy, then.

- Let's enjoy. - Let's enjoy.

- Cheers. - Drink up, guys.

- It's so good. - Free drinks always taste good.

It's been a while since I came here.

After you left, I had no one to come here with.

I'm having a great time.

That's because you're picky when it comes to friends.

Who was it again? Min Jeong from your department.

You said she was cool.

Don't.

I can't seem to stand Zoomers.

They have no respect for their elders.

Don't tell me you're the elder...

just because it took you two extra years to get into school.

The real deal-breaker, though,

is the difference in lashes.

What?

She wears falsies as long as my fingers.

When we talk face-to-face,

her falsies send a breeze my way...

every time she blinks.

I can't catch a single word she's saying.

Always so dramatic.

It's true.

What's that?

What is it?

What do you mean?

Hyo Ri, what is it?

I'm sorry.

Okay, fine. I'm not sorry.

I won't tell you to hang in there.

Let's enjoy life.

Forget studying or whatever...

and do what you want.

Fail miserably and mess things up.

Just have fun while you're at it. Got it?

Let's be carefree.

I'm going to live like I don't care.

That's the spirit. Okay, good.

Once the semester ends, I'm heading to Cheonghae.

We'll have the time of our lives.

That's exactly what we'll do. You'd better be there.

Okay, I'll be there.

I'll get going.

(To Mapo-gu Office)

Bye.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Let's drink up. - My gosh.

- Cheers. - Come on. Bottoms up.

- What's this? - My gosh. This hits the spot.

- Oh, my. - Do the monkey impression.

- Wait. Look. - What?

Hey, Hyo Ri.

- Lee Hyo Ri! - Hyo Ri.

- Yes! - Hyo Ri!

- Come here. - Hyo Ri!

- It's Hyo Ri. - She's here.

- Hyo Ri is here. - That's her daughter.

- What's she doing here? - Ms. Lee, she's so pretty.

She is, right? That's my daughter.

- How pretty. - Oh, my.

Of course, she's pretty. She's my daughter.

- Here you go. - All right.

She looks just like her mother.

(To Mapo-gu Office)

(Hyo Ri)

(- Aren't you coming back to Seoul? - I'll text you when I go back.)

(Are you dead? Get here right now.)

Hey, my daughter. Where are you?

- Dad! - You startled me.

How come you're not home yet?

Where are you running about?

Should I grab my cuffs and arrest you?

Dad.

What is it?

I don't have any money. No.

Your mother found out that I gave you money.

Hey, if she catches me giving you money again, she'll kill me.

What's going on?

What's wrong, Suk?

What is it?

Dad.

Hyo Ri...

She's sick.

I had no idea.

I sent her a message asking if she was dead...

What do I do, Dad?

Dad, what do I do?

Dad! What am I going to do?

My gosh. Oh, no.

Suk.

We finished everything.

You know what? Let's keep drinking.

- Let's keep drinking. - Cheers.

Have one more drink.

- I'll give you Sprite. - Okay.

Gosh, that's so far away.

- Gosh, he's old. - Okay.

Who said that?

Seriously. I'm so grateful.

- Come on. Don't be like that. - Gosh, no.

How is that tasty?

I just don't get it.

You know what? I'll be a carrier woman...

- just like Announcer Baek Ji Yeon. - Carrier?

You want to carry things for a living?

You should've said, "career," not "carrier."

- You fool. - My gosh.

Why are you nitpicking?

It's fine as long as we understand each other.

Why are you correcting me like that?

If you're that smart,

why do you always confuse "chicken" and "kitchen?"

You little...

- Thank you. - All right.

- We have your back. - Sure.

- Seriously. - My gosh.

We ought to drink on a day like today.

- Come on. - Where are you going?

- My gosh. - Come on.

- Let's have a drink. - Drink up.

- Okay. - Pour me a drink.

Let me give everyone a drink.

- You know what? - Yes.

Look at Hyo Ri.

- Hyo Ri? - What?

- Looking at your face, - Okay.

I can tell that...

your appendix ruptured when you were in ninth grade.

Really?

How did you know that?

Actually,

your mother and I became close friends because of that.

Wait.

The edge must be thicker.

Please put more on the side.

Then do it yourself.

It's perfectly fine. Why find fault with my work?

I'm not finding fault with your work.

It's a necessary inspection.

Please put more on it.

A female manager on a construction site?

Gosh, it's a tough job.

You can't even present yourself as a manager there...

unless you have some serious guts.

Everyone in this industry...

is short-fused, to begin with.

Sir, please remove the pins here...

and flatten the surface.

I would've gotten to it in due time.

I was going to do it after checking this first.

I had a plan in my head.

Must I be able to read your mind?

Please carry out your tasks in a typical order then.

What do you know about wallpapering?

I'm working hard here. Why are you bossing me around...

I mean, she had a point and everything.

But she kept on pointing things out so bluntly.

To be honest, at first, I really didn't like her either.

A lot of you were waiting for your chance...

to teach her a lesson.

Do you remember him?

- Mr. Park from Taean Material? - Yes.

He slapped her in the cheek!

All because she rejected his products.

But Ms. Lee didn't even bat an eye.

Gosh, she's one tough woman.

In the beginning, I didn't want to associate with her.

Right.

But...

My gosh, come on.

Let's go.

Hey, it's me. Did you have lunch?

Hey, you need to take care of that.

Tell the nurse that you missed lunch because you were sleeping.

And get some food.

I can't be there for you,

so you ought to take care of yourself.

Go and tell the nurse now.

She was crying.

Her daughter was sick in the hospital.

But there were a lot of things to be done at the site too.

- Right. - So...

imagine how she must have felt.

She was crying without saying anything.

Then when I saw how she finished all of her food...

Gosh, only after seeing that...

did I realize it.

That...

she was also trying to survive.

And...

that was the moment I became her fan.

That's it.

I bet it's the same with everyone here.

- Right. - Of course.

She is annoyingly by-the-book,

but unpretentiously strong-willed.

Once you're hooked on that, there's no way out.

- Gosh, there's no way out. - No way.

No way. Please help me out!

Then you fall hard.

All right.

- Have a drink. - Cheers.

- Okay. - Another one.

I bought hangover cure drinks!

- Yes! - Let's give it up for her.

- My gosh. - Nice.

- She's the best! - Who wants one?

Is it because it's been a while since I drank?

My gosh, I don't feel so good.

Hey. If you throw up in my car,

forget about building the house. I'm done with you then.

Why don't you proactively hang a plastic bag on your ears?

Hold on.

My gosh.

Gosh, what am I going to do?

My goodness. This is crazy.

- This is so crazy. - What's wrong with her?

What is it? What's wrong?

Jeong Seok.

You are...

the first man...

to ever come to our house.

What am I going to do?

This is just crazy.

Oh, my!

I think I'm getting shy. Seriously.

My goodness.

Hey.

I'm completely fine. Why are you doing that?

- Let go of me. - Gosh.

I'm totally fine.

You bought two bags of hangover cure drinks.

But how did you manage to forget one for yourself?

My point, exactly.

Let me run to the convenience store really quickly.

- Okay. Go ahead. - Okay.

- Sit down. - I...

My gosh. She's so strong.

Water...

Where are the light switches?

Over there. Behind the door.

- There. - Yes.

Here you go.

Have a glass of water, so you can sober up.

Get a grip now.

Stop smiling, or I might get attached to you.

No. Don't.

Don't get attached to me.

Don't, okay?

You'll be done for.

I'm hiding my true charm...

so others don't find out.

Don’t get attached to me.

Got it? I made it clear.

I can't take responsibility, okay?

Jeong Seok.

You know what?

Your eyes...

haven't aged at all.

They are as cool as ever.

And I love it.

All right. Now drink this water and sober up a little.

You don't know that feeling, do you?

That weird feeling...

when you're not sure...

if you're confronting reality...

or avoiding it.

And when you're okay...

when you're actually not.

I know it very well.

Mom.

Bo Hyeon.

Mom needs to go and catch her flight.

That feeling of fooling myself.

Fighting hard...

to look okay because I have to hold on.

Hey.

Your mom fell asleep.

- I'm sorry. - Don't worry about it.

Mom.

Wake up, Ji An.

- Wake up. Go sleep on your bed. - Good.

- You're heavy. - Good girl.

Watch your step. Okay.

Goodnight.

Would you like some tea?

Here.

Is your mom asleep?

Yes.

Falling asleep the moment she rests her head down is her only strength.

You're right.

It's like her little talent.

- Gosh. - Nice. Isn't it?

It's good.

By the way, Hyo Ri.

Why are you against building that house?

It feels like a burden knowing my mom's life keeps changing...

because of me.

My mom.

She has never lived her own life.

I was always her top priority.

Her making such a decision again...

makes me angry and upset.

When your mom...

first told me she was building that house,

I asked her...

why she wanted to do it.

It was to live.

To live a fun life with you.

Don't you think your mom's determination to build the house...

is the same feeling you had when you first came to Cheonghae?

The feeling of wanting to stop putting off...

what you want to do and just go for it.

Go back inside.

- You did well today. - Thank you.

I can't be there for you,

so you ought to take care of yourself.

Go and tell the nurse now.

Excuse...

I took my time thinking you were asleep.

Your acting never seems to improve.

Yesterday, did I perhaps...

What's new? Of course, you were a drunken mess.

You really startled Jeong Seok.

I can't let him see me at my worst.

I hadn't had a drink in so long...

that I lost control.

Is this my room?

Judging by the size, that one's yours.

They're too close together, so move them apart.

Why are you suddenly voicing your opinion?

Let's build the house.

And since we're doing it, let's do it right.

Really?

Are you on board?

Yes, I'm on board.

Do you want that in writing?

Eat fast. Jeong Seok will be here soon.

Jeong Seok, you have mad driving skills.

I'm as comfortable...

as lying in a five-star hotel bed.

What good is that...

if my passenger is either...

sleeping or drunk and not awake to notice?

Jeong Seok.

Can we put floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room?

Floor-to-ceiling windows?

- Yes. - Floor-to-ceiling windows.

Sure, they look nice.

But they lead to higher gas bills,

don't offer ventilation,

and give you no privacy.

Is it possible to set up...

a media room in the basement for music and movies?

Sounds nice.

But basement floors...

have problems with ventilation and humidity,

and it also means losing part of the yard.

It's expensive,

so it would be better to spend that money on an upper floor.

If you're going to have it your way,

stop calling it Hyo Ri's house...

and call it Ji An's house instead.

Call it Dictator Lee Ji An's house of choice.

Call it King Ji An's chosen palace.

How does that sound?

Are you talking back...

- when I objected politely? - How is this back talk?

I'm bowing down letting you have your way.

You're bowing down? What the...

Perhaps you should check the definition of that phrase.

You should do the same for "politely."

You just always have to have the last word.

I'll also have the second-to-last word.

The lower structure and pillar over there aren't aligned.

We handled that with a good paint job.

- Okay. - Chul Min, you...

- What? - You're doing great.

Really? Can I be assistant captain, then?

The wiring will head this way.

Right. Will the main circuit breaker remain in place?

Yes. It's the kitchen, so make sure it's waterproof.

- Sure, I'll check on it. - Yes.

How long do you need the construction tie wires to be?

I'll bring the 350.

Aren't you going to measure it first?

Always stick to the proper procedure.

Even if it's annoying, the proper protocol is to measure...

with a ruler and use exact dimensions.

How do you expect to mentor anyone later on?

Yes, ma'am.

- It's 400. - Then what?

Since we're using wedge pins,

I'll bring 400mm tie wires.

I told you the job depends...

on your attitude, not your experience.

If you make amateur mistakes with basic protocol,

people will see you as an amateur...

despite the good work you do.

Take a 30-minute break.

It's too hot out here.

Yes, ma'am.

You caught me off guard just now...

with the mentorship skill you demonstrated.

Are you trying to get on my nerves on this hot day?

Don't be ridiculous.

That was a compliment if you didn't notice.

Go, great senior, go!

- Let's eat. - Goodness.

Welcome, guys!

- I'll head there first. - Go ahead.

- Hello. - Hi.

It's been ages since we enjoyed a feast by Chef Kim.

Is this what they call a feast?

I made all the food with love and care,

so enjoy it and return the love to the home.

- We'll enjoy. - Applaud!

Applaud, everyone.

Have your fill.

Enjoy.

Seventy?

Hold on.

Aren't you having lunch?

I'm not hungry right now.

Why is the plaster so uneven?

Enjoy lunch without me.

I'll grab a bite later when I'm hungry.

All right.

We're heading out now.

You all did great, and I'm grateful.

I can't believe we made it happen.

We'll come running whenever you call.

Don't I know that. Thank you so much.

Stop that and keep it short.

You'd better treat us to a meal.

- We'll see each other again. - I'll be in Seoul next month.

Really? You'd better be.

We'll get going.

- Bye, Ms. Lee. - Thank you so much.

Enjoy your life here.

- Thank you. - Good luck.

All right. Let's get to work.

- Take the heavy stuff. - It's not every day...

- someone moves here. - Be careful.

- All right. - I'll take that.

Careful. You can't afford to break that.

I'll be careful.

- Where does this go? - Let me help.

It's fine.

Does this go in Hyo Ri's room?

- Yes. Hyo Ri! - Here.

- Do you need my help? - I'm good.

Hey, don't go with her.

Don't go with another girl.

My gosh.

That looks heavy. Be careful.

- Put some elbow grease into it. - Careful.

No, these don't belong in there.

Take them back out.

I need those to make a living, and they don't belong here.

Head the other way.

Nicely done. Thank you so much.

Gosh, they're the best.

The Serengeti...

became a paradise.

The electrical layout...

looks good.

The paint finish?

Everything's flat.

All good.

It's done.

The lighting has been connected in the annex.

Why don't we also turn on all the lights in the main building...

and take a look?

- Okay. - The lights.

Right, here we go.

I love it. Oh, my.

- Hyo Ri. My gosh. - This is so nice.

My goodness.

This is so beautiful!

We really built our house.

Good job, Lee Ji An.

Thank you so much, Jeong Seok.

Don't mention it.

Good job.

Thanks.

My daughter.

Never get married.

Live in this house, taking care of me. Okay?

That's so creepy. Come on.

No way. I'd hate that. Seriously.

Take care of me then.

I'd hate that too.

- What? - Gosh.

That's acting up again.

We should have the electricians swing by again tomorrow.

- Okay. I'll call them. - Okay.

The flickering lights aren't so bad.

They look like some kind of special effect.

What's the problem?

- Why aren't you sleeping? - Gosh.

The lights kept bothering me.

- Has it always been like this? - What?

You skip meals,

don't take any breaks in between, and barely get any sleep.

You don't even realize the toll your body is taking.

Have you always had to endure such tiring work?

No. I always had my meals...

and got plenty of rest.

Mom.

Working hard is great,

cool,

and admirable.

But...

let's treasure ourselves too.

If Grandma hasn't taught you,

I'll teach you...

how precious you are...

and that you're a treasure that's not meant to be worn down...

by endless work.

So you should also teach me...

that I deserve to treasure myself most of all.

Teach me that.

Okay. Let's do that because we're so precious.

We should've built our house sooner.

- Isn't it great? - Yes.

- The ceiling is high. - Yes.

- We have a staircase. - Yes.

- We also have a garden. - Yes.

- It's exactly what I dreamed of. - Yes.

I don't want to admit it,

but this is the best thing you've ever done.

Mom.

I knew this would happen.

- I told you I was against it. - Are you pulling a prank on me?

Why the sudden change in your attitude?

Hey.

Hey.

Don't be scared.

Calm down.

We should get Seon Yeong or Jeong Seok.

No. We should call 911.

Let's call 911.

Sorry I took too long, my daughter.

Ji An, have I kept you waiting too long?

(Special thanks to Cho Han Cheul for his special appearance)

(Love, Take Two)

Mom has a mom.

Lee Ji An, are you trying to guilt-trip me?

You begged me to come back for you back then.

Why must I put up with her?

You don't know how I endured those days.

It's difficult and painful.

It's because there's affection.

- My gosh. - Hey!

I used to console myself by looking at the stars.

(Mom)

The two of them act like they're each other's first love.

Don't be so hard on yourself, Ji An. It's okay not to.
