Original subtitles

(Episode 71)

I need to know...

the reason.

I'm sorry that I ask...

for this kind of favor.

Why are you...

all of a sudden...

asking me to find a person named Kang Seung Yeon?

Like I said earlier,

Seung Yeon is Ms. Jeon's biological daughter.

In Suk left her before she got remarried.

And we lost touch with her.

I really have to find her.

Why?

Why do you want to find her after such a long time?

That's...

It's a bit complicated.

Please don't ask for details.

Keep it secret from Tae Ju and Mr. Chairman.

Please find her.

I need to know the reason in order to help you.

What is the reason...

you're looking for...

Kang Seung Yeon all of a sudden?

That's...

To tell the truth,

my brother gave reports on this matter...

to Mr. Chairman until now.

That's...

Don't try to make up a story...

and tell me the truth.

Okay. All right.

To be honest,

there is a certain reason.

It happened a long time ago.

Chairman Han Jong Soo...

set a condition before In Suk got married.

He told her to abandon Seung Yeon before joining his family.

And that she can't see...

her daughter ever again.

There are so many cold-blooded and heartless parents.

But she was not one of them.

She told him...

that she couldn't leave Seung Yeon behind.

But as you know, our family...

Well, our family's situation is not good right now.

But it was even worse back then.

She should've married someone wealthy in the first place.

Why did she fall in love with her colleague?

Anyway, after her husband died,

she couldn't even take care of herself.

The debts grew even larger...

and moneylenders pressured her.

Then...

she met Chairman Han Jong Soo's brother Han Sung Soo...

at an event venue by chance.

So?

Vice-Chairman Han Sung Soo was a very nice man.

He loved In Suk so much.

But Chairman Han Jong Soo had virtual power...

to control the family.

In return for settling our debts,

he told her to disown Seung Yeon before the marriage.

Inevitably,

she left Seung Yeon with my brother and his wife...

and got married.

But one day...

Did Seung Yeon get hurt?

- In Suk... - Seung Yeon...

Where is she?

In Suk.

What happened to her?

How did she get hurt? Which hospital is she at?

Where are In Soo and his wife?

Where is Seung Yeon, Mom?

Where is Seung Yeon?

So?

Did you send the money?

I said, did you send the money?

Why are you suddenly bringing up money?

I already gave you the money.

I gave you the money for child support.

In Suk, that's...

That's...

Did you perhaps spend it all?

Did you really spend all that money?

I gave you that money to raise my daughter.

Where did you lose it?

Hey!

You didn't give us much.

And after paying our debts...

with that money,

we are left with not much. Don't take credit to yourself.

Mom...

And how did we end up with debt in the first place?

It's all because you went to college...

that your brothers didn't even have a chance to go near.

Who sends their daughter to college?

Mom!

How dare you yell at me?

Mom.

Seung Yeon.

Seung Yeon, are you okay?

Where did you get hurt? Let me see.

Let me see. Where?

What? I'm not hurt.

Since you are here, leave money for Seung Yeon's meals.

Having a child at home requires so much money.

She's still a small child, but she eats so much.

And In Soo got into trouble again,

so his wife went to the police to settle the problem.

So if you have some money for the settlement, give it.

I don't have any money.

Then take that child to your in-law's.

She's not even our bloodline. We have no reason to raise her.

Do you know...

how much money it will take to raise her?

Mom!

Be quiet! Stop crying.

I'm going to put you in an orphanage.

Gosh, that little wench.

You take after your mom.

You are so particular and spiteful.

So In Suk went...

to Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, I beg you.

Please help me this once.

Please help my Seung Yeon.

I must raise her.

Please let me bring her.

What are you saying? Are you out of your mind?

If you let me bring her,

I will do anything.

I will do whatever you tell me to.

So Mr. Chairman, please.

Our deal is already finished.

I gave you all the money you needed.

And what?

Do you want to...

bring your daughter back now?

Are you trying to mess up our family tree?

No.

That's not true. I will never do such a thing.

But if you let me bring her,

I'll raise her as best as I can.

That's enough!

You made your decision.

You decided...

to leave your daughter with your good-for-nothing brother.

You made a promise not to see your daughter again

as a condition of coming into this family.

But Mr. Chairman.

You arrogant fool.

Listen carefully.

Your daughter...

is dead.

Erase her from your life.

If this kind of thing happens again,

your family will end up on the streets.

Then they will have to live miserably and poorly...

for the rest of their lives.

Your brothers will be going in and out of prison.

Live the life of a devoted daughter.

Make people say,

to spare one's family, one has to live like Jeon In Suk.

Grit your teeth...

and live doggedly.

That's the only way for you and your family...

to survive.

[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E71 'Mother of Mine' "Discovering Truths" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

(Reckless use of electricity, cause of a big fire.)

(40 million's voluntary reports, strengthening national security)

Gosh.

I don't understand.

You recently got married,

so why do you want to sleep with your mom, not your husband?

Are you back from the toilet?

Yes, I am.

But I might have to go again later.

Old people have to go to the toilet often.

You might not be able to sleep well.

It's okay. If I'm with you,

I can sleep well no matter what.

Do you have something going on?

No, why?

If there isn't anything going on,

why do you want to sleep with me?

Tae Ju might resent me later.

I couldn't sleep with you the night before my wedding...

when you let Mi Sun do it before her wedding.

That's because you caused trouble. Did I do that for no reason?

Are you sure there isn't anything going on with you?

Goodness, no.

You've recently gotten married,

so if you keep coming to your mom's house,

you could get criticized by the elders later.

Do you not want me to come over from now on?

That's not what I meant.

Let's just go to bed.

- Mom. - What?

I have something to ask you.

What is it?

What's good about getting married...

to a rich family?

A rich family?

You should know better.

What's good to be part of that rich family?

I don't know.

Goodness.

It's good because you have a lot of money.

You don't have to worry about money until you die.

But I honestly don't understand...

why people are so obsessed with money.

Think about it. How can you live without money?

Everything in this world is about money,

not to mention parents and children.

Everything is about money.

Still, there are more important things than money.

I don't think it's right to marry into a rich family...

for money.

That's because you're competent.

Things would be different if you weren't.

Let's be honest. Even if something happens...

and you move out of that family,

you're competent enough to support yourself.

Things weren't like that in my day.

The biggest goal women had was a successful marriage.

Some women were sold off to rich families.

There were those who served drinks at bars too.

Gosh, the social class of women has gotten better now,

but not when I was little.

Forget college.

Most women didn't even get to go to high school.

It was considered a blessing if they did.

So what else could they have done?

They had no choice, but to rely on their husbands,

their husbands' families, and their children all their lives.

It was a fortune if their families didn't give them a hard time.

They couldn't say anything even if they were wronged.

They couldn't cry even if they were troubled.

That's how women lived in the past.

That's why I sent all of you to college.

I didn't want you to live like me,

but to live your own life with confidence and pride.

What's funny?

Goodness, Mom.

- Gosh. - You've been through a lot.

Mom.

Thank you.

Thanks for saying so.

Thanks.

- Let's go to bed now. - Let's sleep.

Let's go to bed.

We're finally going to bed.

Let's sleep, sweetheart.

Goodness.

Where's your wife?

She spent last night at her mother's house.

What? Without telling me?

Tae Ju, stop behaving like that to your mom.

Your wife is looking down on me...

because you aren't treating me properly.

If she is going to sleep out,

she should get permission from me, the lady of this house.

How dare she?

Do you really want me to treat you like a mom?

Can I be honest with you?

You've never been dishonest with me.

I don't want you to call me mom.

You know why? It makes me look old.

I'm not even that much older than you.

What I mean by treating me like a mom...

isn't that I want to hear you call me mom.

It's that I want you to respect me.

Your father was lost because he was lonely and sick,

but he's become stable, calm, and happy thanks to me,

not Jeon In Suk.

Stop bringing her up like this.

Oh, yes? Then it's a success.

I mentioned her name to upset you.

You look very upset so early in the morning.

And let me give you a warning as a mom.

It would be best to fall out of love with Jeon In Suk soon.

Well,

once things get revealed,

you'll naturally fall out of love anyway.

I know you're looking for Mother's real daughter.

Let me warn you too.

She isn't simple-minded like you.

What?

Sneaking money away to her real daughter?

Why would she do something...

that could be thought up by someone like you?

That would be thoughtless.

Are you...

indirectly saying that I'm thoughtless?

And it was my fault that I didn't tell you...

my wife was sleeping over at her mother's house.

Don't pick on my wife for no reason.

And behave like an elder.

Hey, Tae Ju.

Mom.

Tae Ho.

You're a shame to Tae Ho.

What?

I'll go to work then.

Have a good day, Tae Ju.

Come here, Tae Ho.

- It's good. - I know.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Hello.

Please keep eating.

We still have some time left before we're on duty.

Didn't you have breakfast before coming to work?

That's not it.

Mr. Kang gave this to us.

Is she already in her office?

- Yes. - Yes.

I see.

Oh, hey.

You're already at work.

You came to work early too.

Because I missed you.

I missed you.

Come on, we were apart only for a short time.

It was just one night.

What? Didn't you miss me then?

If I hadn't,

I would've come to work late in the evening.

How did you know that I didn't have breakfast?

You don't even go downstairs if I'm not in the house.

Still, you should've had breakfast with Mother.

I had to stop her...

from making a hearty breakfast again.

I told her I wouldn't eat breakfast because I had to go to work early.

And she packed me some food.

Let's eat it for dinner later.

There's your favorite japchae too.

Okay.

Eat up.

Mi Ri.

Yes?

You seem a little light-hearted today.

- Do I? - Yes.

As if you've finished a long-term assignment,

you seem light-hearted.

Really? I don't know.

Maybe I lost some weight because of my husband's nagging.

Are you kidding me?

Anyway, it's nice to see you talk more than usual.

Is it because you slept at your mother's house?

If so, I feel left out.

Take me with you next time.

We three can sleep together.

That's terrible.

What got you so upset this time?

Your son.

Tae Ju.

My gosh. Forget about it.

Everyone knows he doesn't like you.

Even so, you told him to treat me...

with the respect a mother deserves.

He didn't just disrespect me.

He disrespected you as well.

Do you know what he said to me?

He called me stupid!

What?

He said Jeon In Suk is not as simple-minded as I am.

He cornered me and said she's not as thoughtless...

as to hide money away with her daughter.

Honey. Are you listening to me?

It's still early in the morning.

Can't you just let it go?

How can he call me stupid to my face?

In Suk's not simple-minded enough to send money to her daughter,

but I'm stupid enough to only consider that as an option?

What are you so deep in thought about?

Don't you see your furious wife?

Honey!

Yes.

Did you find out what I asked?

Was the engineer called Kang Jae Young?

His hometown was Chuncheon?

How is it?

Is it too tight or not?

It's okay.

Forget about Dad.

I won't let you play with him from now on, okay?

Whatever.

Don't talk like that to your own mom.

If that becomes a habit, you'll become a bad adult.

Answer properly.

Okay.

Where are you going?

To work. Where else? Why?

If you were up, couldn't you have helped clean up?

How can you leave for work when I haven't even changed?

You said I'm no help at all.

I break everything I touch, mess up when I mean to clean...

and make our kid sick so she has to go to a doctor.

You called me a useless excuse for a man.

That's what you said.

That was because...

Whatever.

From now on,

I won't do any housework or any babysitting...

ever again.

What?

Hey, even if you compliment and praise us,

men are poor at household chores and looking after kids...

and struggle anyway.

Instead of offering any praise,

you look down on me, scold and punish me.

What man would want to help?

Why are you so poor at housework?

If you ever had the mindset...

to share housework and childcare and that they are your jobs as well,

you wouldn't be so bad at it!

You tried to get out of it all your life until you had...

an ulterior motive and suddenly wanted to help.

That's why you mess up.

Whatever.

I won't lift a finger.

I won't get water on my hands.

Like a prince who married Cinderella,

I plan to live like that forever and ever.

Jung Jin Soo, stop being like this!

Also,

calling your husband's name as if I were a dog around the kid...

is bad for education.

You're not at all experienced at education yourself.

Honey!

He's such a troublemaker.

What should we do with him?

Why isn't the babysitter here yet?

Hello.

- You're here. - The door was open.

My husband just left for work.

He must've left it open.

I'm a bit late, aren't I?

Yes, a bit.

The traffic was terrible outside.

I was stuck on the bus...

for at least 20 minutes.

- Were you? - Yes.

Mom.

My goodness.

You must be Da Bin.

You're such a pretty little girl.

Yes...

You look so pretty.

You have to listen to me from now on.

Okay.

Don't just stand there.

Get ready for work.

- Okay. - Go ahead.

The house is a right mess.

- Pardon? - Oh, it's nothing.

You should get ready for work.

Da Bin, will you come here...

and wait with me?

You're such a pretty little girl.

How old are you, Da Bin?

I'm six.

Sun Ja, what are you doing?

Shouldn't we open up?

The restaurant isn't important right now.

Then what is important?

I have to make sure Mi Hye doesn't go to work.

What?

Sun Ja.

Is that why you're sitting out here?

Prepared to hit Mi Hye with that if you need to?

Yes. So what?

That last one is the problem.

What should I do about her?

- Sun Ja. - Stop talking to me!

Don't distract me from standing guard.

Mi Hye.

She left already.

What?

What should I do with her?

My goodness.

Where are you going?

Me? I'm...

I have to go out.

You should go upstairs.

See you.

Why?

Why are you leaving?

- What? - You're packing up to go to the US.

Why are you leaving?

Don't be mistaken.

I'm not leaving because of you.

That was my plan.

Life doesn't go as planned.

Can't you change things?

I don't like you because I planned to.

You don't like me because you want to.

Cancel your plans.

Or I will change mine.

Why?

- Are you going to follow me? - Yes.

I'll check my passport and get a visa.

And buy a plane ticket with the money you paid me.

You're helpless.

We feel the same way.

We don't.

Don't you like me?

You like me.

Yes.

I do. I like you.

It wasn't at all planned,

but it happened.

I think I know you well.

Why?

Because I read your novel.

You were born the youngest of three girls.

Your family wished for a son,

and you were a disappointment.

But you never gave in...

and as a child,

you wreaked havoc around the neighborhood.

"What will she grow up to be?"

You made the whole family worry.

But, fortunately, even you were good at something.

You did well in Korean.

You couldn't even solve the first math problem,

but Korean was easy.

So you shut yourself in a room and read.

You placed 278 out of 300 students.

Your mother was worried sick,

but your oldest sister comforted her saying that...

at least you didn't get into trouble.

But a mother never ceases to worry.

You weren't reliable like your first sister...

or smart like your second sister.

You're not even pretty.

Or cute for that matter.

Wait, Mr. Kim.

But...

I liked you.

You grew up bright and cheerful.

I liked that.

You aren't solemn like me.

You aren't gloomy and you were loved.

You got a lot of sunshine...

and I envied that.

So I planned to like you in secret...

and return to America.

But today, that troublemaker barged in to complain.

Was that answer good enough?

Have you always...

described your emotions in the third person?

What?

Don't do that.

Can you tell me in all seriousness that you like me?

That troublemaker...

really, really likes you.

Because...

no one ever thought of me like that.

No one read my writing...

and understood or acknowledged me.

Yes, people awarded and praised me.

But no one liked me for being me.

You scolded me to better myself...

and took me to a workshop.

You read my writing and empathized with it.

You even like me as a person.

How can I let you go?

So...

Please don't go to the States.

Can't we...

just like each other?

You silly thing.

Who's the silly thing?

Do you want to eat an ice cream bar?

- Young Dal. - Yes?

Where did you put the ice cream bars you bought?

Oh, right.

- Here. - Okay.

What are your intentions in giving me this ice cream bar?

No matter what you do,

you will have to marry Jae Bum.

What? Was this ice cream bar bait?

You already ate more than half of it,

so you have to listen to me.

You might think you can still manipulate me...

with some food like a kid.

But I'm a grown woman.

You're acting like a kidnapper.

You'll be just like a kid all your life.

So you should listen to your mom.

Just make up your mind and get married to Jae Bum.

After a couple of embarrassing hours at a wedding hall,

you'll live at ease for life.

Still, I can't marry a guy...

who already pulls his pants up to here.

Gosh. Hey.

Guys who wear their pants this low...

are all bullies.

If you marry a guy like him,

you will see him iron his pants every morning.

Still, I can't marry a guy...

with uncombed hair that looks like bushes.

Those who have sleek and shiny hair...

will be busy brushing his hair...

every morning...

even when your baby is bawling.

I'm sure about that.

I like a man with long and thin fingers.

Then he'd hold someone else's hand with those fingers.

Still, a man should be chic, cool, and sexy.

To date a guy like that,

you will have to share him with other women.

It's like a corporation.

And there's no telling if you'd be the main shareholder.

Mom!

You wench, aren't you going to listen to me?

I really like Mr. Kim.

If you keep talking about Jae Bum...

Then what? What will you do?

I won't be eating from now on.

What? How could you... Hey!

Hey, what do you think of this situation?

Do kids these days think...

a person's looks are important like My Hye?

I'm not like her.

I knew it.

I like a woman who owns a building.

What, you punk?

Hey. How is the new babysitter?

Is she okay?

I don't know yet.

I'm just trying to go along with her demands.

Good. You should do that.

You'll be more comfortable that way.

But I just can't put my mind at ease this time.

I didn't feel this way with the previous babysitter.

Is it because she came late on her first day?

But you can't judge her by something like that.

You know that, right?

I do.

Does she have a lot of experience too?

She does.

But she didn't work for long in one place.

She says the mothers she worked for were too bossy.

Mi Sun, nothing bad would happen.

Your parents-in-law live in the next building.

You think? I'm being overly sensitive, right?

Sure.

It'll be much better than asking your husband to babysit.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

Hey, just think that she'd be better than your husband or in-laws.

And since hiring a babysitter, you made up with your mother-in-law.

If you're still nervous, ask your mother-in-law...

to make a surprise visit to your place.

- She said she'd do that. - Okay.

Please focus on your work. Stay quiet.

(My resolution)

Sixth.

I will never...

cause trouble to others until the day of my death.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

You told me not to do anything and not to go anywhere.

You told me to stay cooped up in my room,

so I'm just waiting for the day I die in here.

When will I die?

Gosh.

Your personality is so twisted.

I told you not to do something dangerous.

When did I tell you to wait for your dying day sitting in here?

Just find something safer. Something that's not dangerous.

All right. Come to think of it,

driving a taxi...

wasn't a good idea.

You were right about that.

It's my fault that I drove a taxi...

and took passengers at this age.

I caused people a lot of trouble.

It wasn't just about people.

What about me?

What if my friends found out that you were driving a taxi?

They'd criticize me for letting my old husband work like that.

What did you say?

So it's not that you told me not to drive a taxi...

because you were worried I'd have a car accident?

Was that because you were just embarrassed about my work?

I didn't say that. Why would you...

Fine. That's one reason.

My goodness. What do I do?

I gave your friends a ride already.

Young Hee, Ji Sook, and Mi Ja.

Really?

So? Did they recognize you?

The three of them sat in the back seat...

and kept talking.

They were so busy talking...

that they didn't even care who was driving.

Really?

Thank goodness.

They talked a lot about you.

I mean your friends.

What did they say?

They said you're condescending.

What?

You always tell them to come and go.

They said they hate it.

There's more. You know that you're good looking,

so you always talk about it yourself.

They find it very annoying.

So they were going to leave you out of their meeting,

but they decided to let you in out of pity.

That's what I heard.

I can't believe this.

Honey!

Why are you yelling at me?

I'm just telling you what I heard...

from your friends when I was working as a driver.

If I didn't drive a taxi,

who would've told you such things?

Gosh.

You should take this opportunity...

to reevaluate your friendship...

with your friends.

Anyway, you should stay in your room today.

I'll be out for a while.

Let's talk about my friends again later.

- Okay? - Where are you going?

I'm going to Jin Soo's. Where else would I go?

They have the new babysitter today.

I should go check up on her.

Then I'm coming with you.

Why are you coming with me?

I did that the last time.

I should go see who takes care of my granddaughter...

and say hello to her.

That was then.

Some babysitters don't like men coming to their workplace.

I'll just go see her.

You should just stay here.

Honey.

Why did you push me?

Do you want me to pass out and get a concussion or what?

(Episode 72 will air shortly.)

I'm serious.

The child's mom is so naive.

She doesn't seem to know much about this business.

(Episode 72)

I've turned on the air conditioner on full blast.

I'll just fiddle around...

and when the child comes, I'll just feed her and leave.

So how much money does that family offer?

What?

You said you're moving in.

And they only offered 2,800 dollars?

Hey! They shouldn't do that.

Tell them that you won't accept it.

You have to form the habit of the moms...

in the very beginning.

Then what are they going to do?

We are the ones with power.

People who entrust their children are powerless.

- Da Bin? - I know.

- What? - Goodness.

Who... Who are you?

May I ask who you are?

I am...

I'm Da Bin's grandmother.

I see.

I didn't hear anything from Da Bin's mom.

Do you live nearby?

Yes, I live in the next building.

I see.

I didn't come to bother you.

But...

the house is very cold.

I'll catch a cold.

I'll turn off the air conditioner.

I'm very sensitive to heat.

Anyway, I just came to say hi.

Since you're taking care of my granddaughter,

I just wanted to get to know you.

Of course.

Of course, you should.

If you want to see her,

come to visit often.

As a matter of fact,

Da Bin is so cute and sweet.

I love her so much.

I see.

I was about to clean up.

After I sent Da Bin to kindergarten,

I got so tired...

and was taking a rest for a while.

But isn't it almost time for Da Bin to come home?

I know.

I should clean these up.

Do you perhaps...

need any help?

No.

It's fine.

I see.

Then I'll go home.

If you need anything, please call me.

Oh, all right.

Oh, my.

- Goodbye. - Take care.

Thank you.

My gosh.

Why do I feel this way?

She's a bit strange.

Is Ms. Jeon in her office?

She didn't come to work today.

Pardon?

Ms. Jeon.

You should eat something.

I'm worried that you'll get sick.

Aren't you going to go to work?

Yes?

Ms. Jeon.

Tell the driver...

to prepare the car.

Are you going to work?

Why didn't you come to work?

I didn't feel well today.

You must've heard this from your brother, right?

That I'm looking for your daughter.

It's not strange for me to look for your daughter.

You look uncomfortable. You didn't even come to work.

This will only make you look even more suspicious.

My daughter...

is dead.

- Why? - You once told me this.

When I went down on my knees and begged you to help my daughter.

And when I begged you to let me live with my daughter,

you said she was dead.

I said that because...

It was just a figure of speech.

- What... - But...

why are you looking for a dead person?

Why would you want to dig up a grave?

You told me not to mess up your family tree.

You forced my daughter out of my arms...

and abandoned her in a strange land where she had no relatives.

Why now?

Why?

I lived my whole life...

as a dog for this family.

I abandoned my child to make a living by myself.

I only thought about filling up my stomach.

I lived like a dog.

I did everything you told me to do.

I did everything you ordered me to do.

While my child was trembling after she lost her mom,

I even raised someone else's child.

I wouldn't even notice her...

if she shows up.

I don't know whether she changed her name...

or what kind of life she's living.

I don't know how she made a living.

I couldn't even spare a moment to check on her.

What do you people want?

Who are you to look for the daughter I abandoned?

Ms. Jeon, please calm down.

You said you're not feeling well.

Did you perhaps drink alcohol?

Yes.

I drank.

What you people were doing was simply too ridiculous for words.

I drank.

Do you think I embezzled money to my daughter?

Let me tell you the truth.

I would've done it if I could.

If I could make it up by giving her the money...

If I could make up for the time we lived as strangers,

I would've given her the money!

So...

find her if you can.

Find her and bring her to me!

I'll make up the time I lived as your dog with the money...

and live like a real mom!

Bring her to me!

My goodness.

Ms. Jeon.

Don't lose your senses.

It's not good for you.

All right, I get it.

I trust you. I really do.

So don't think...

about doing something silly like the last time.

Okay?

Try messing with my child one more time.

And I'm going to make...

that young, rude woman stuck to your side...

experience the same pain that I went through.

The pain as horrible as cutting out your flesh alive.

Don't be so frightening.

Oh, gosh.

[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E72 'Mother of Mine' "Tae Ju's Search" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Goodness, that temper of hers.

Hey, come in.

- Yes, sir. - Hey.

Keep a close eye on Ms. Jeon.

I don't want the same incident to happen again.

Yes, sir.

And send Doctor Park to her.

Tell him to give her enough sedative...

so that she falls into a deep sleep.

Yes, sir.

- Watch her closely. - Okay.

Honey, what did In Suk say? Did she confess everything?

- It's all because of you. - Gosh.

Why would you yell at me?

You know I have a weak heart.

You shouldn't have brought up her daughter.

Why, did she get worked up?

It's because she's hiding something.

I know I'm right.

That's enough.

Don't bring up her daughter for the time being.

Don't even think about the matter.

Why? What is this about?

You've never seen her mad, have you?

What?

Anyway, mark my words.

Don't mess with In Suk.

Why did I have to listen to my wife?

Everything Tae Ju said was right.

What? Honey, how could you say that?

Honey!

Why? I'm almost there.

I'm not telling you to stop it for good.

Put a stop on it just for a while.

Tell the people you hired to look for In Suk's daughter...

to keep their mouths sealed.

I don't understand.

I'm almost there, so why do you want me to stop?

Is it time for a red light or what?

The Chairman...

called In Suk into the office to talk about her daughter today,

and she made a scene.

According to Secretary Park,

she went on a rampage...

as if she was possessed or something.

What did he say to her?

The worst thing he could've said would be...

"Where is your daughter?" or "Did you sneak away money?"

But she still got all worked up like she was possessed?

Doesn't that mean...

she's hiding something, to get that angry?

Anyway, the situation seems more serious than I thought.

Mr. Chairman even summoned the doctor to her house...

in case something happens to her.

He backed out like a coward.

He even threw a fit at me,

saying he shouldn't have listened to me.

What? That stubborn old man?

I told you to watch your language.

Where are you?

I'm in the office.

I'm working right now.

Anyway, In Suk abandoned her child.

She's that tenacious.

I'm going to find her daughter for certain one day.

But we need to stop for now.

If we act recklessly,

we could get blindsided.

Okay, got it. Bye.

Hey, let's finish up quickly and go out for a company dinner.

(Junior Managing Director Kang Mi Ri)

Hi, Mi Sun.

What are you doing?

I'm working.

Aren't you going home?

I should. What's up?

Mom wants to see us all.

We're having a family meeting.

Why?

What else? It's because of Mi Hye, that brat.

Mi Hye?

I think we should change this part.

I agree. This part seems a little...

- Right. - Let's change it then.

- Aren't you leaving? - Oh, hello.

We have some work left to do.

We'll leave after we finish it up.

I see. I'll be leaving first then.

- Okay, goodbye. - Goodbye.

Okay, see you later.

- Honey. - Tae Ju.

Whose call was it?

Mi Sun.

- Your older sister? - Yes.

Tae Ju, I think I have to visit Mom's house again.

I'm sorry.

Why? Did something happen?

No, we're having a family meeting.

It's nothing serious.

Go ahead then.

I need to go out of town today anyway.

Why?

Did something happen?

I'll tell you when I come back.

I might be a little late today.

Don't wait for me, and go to bed first, okay?

And Tae Ho's mother...

got angry that you slept out without telling her this morning.

I made her back down.

Still, when you go home,

she might give you a hard time, just so you know.

Okay, I'll keep in mind.

Then I'll be off.

Sir.

Let me escort you to your destination.

You shouldn't drive alone.

No, thank you. I need to go alone for this.

Still...

It's okay. I'll go alone.

So what is Mi Hye up to?

What do you think? She's on hunger strike.

What?

Does it mean she's serious?

Didn't you hear me?

I told you she has a crush on someone else other than Jae Bum.

But I didn't know she was serious...

because Mi Hye is so fickle.

Did you see that chief editor, Mi Sun?

No.

I saw a glimpse of him when Mi Hye was getting out of his car before.

Did you see him, Mom?

He is too handsome for his own good.

What am I going to do...

with that immature girl?

(Hunger Strike)

But does that chief editor like Mi Hye?

I don't know. He didn't say anything.

But his face turned pale when I went to see him.

The way I see it,

she's making all this fuss alone.

What about him does she like so much?

I know. What made her fall in love with him?

His handsome face.

- What? - What?

His skin is fair.

His jaw is sharp like this.

His nose is sharp like this.

His hair is like a lion's mane.

When he calls her name...

as his hair flutters in the wind,

the sunlight shines from behind, according to her.

My gosh.

He's 180cm tall and weighs 70kg.

His muscles are well-proportioned...

like fine quality marbled beef.

His legs are thick.

He looks cool in whatever he wears.

But above all,

she likes his long, fair fingers.

What am I going to do with that thoughtless brat?

She's out of her mind.

She's hopeless. I don't know what to do.

Still, I don't think you can do anything about love.

What?

What in the world are you talking about?

What about Jae Bum?

You know what?

Jae Bum isn't the right one for her.

Why?

I told Jae Bum when he got drunk and made a scene...

at the workshop of Mi Hye's publishing company,

but she will never see him as a man if he keeps behaving like that.

So I warned him to fix it.

See? I knew this would happen.

You mean he should lose weight?

Of course, he should lose weight.

That he should dress up nicely and behave like a man?

Of course, he should.

That way, there will be tension between the two.

Jae Bum has been way too good to Mi Hye...

without playing hard to get, and that's also a problem.

That is why he's so pure-hearted.

Kids these days don't consider it pure-hearted.

They think it's annoying.

You have a point.

I'm telling you.

You brats are unbelievable.

I called you in to take my side...

and to help me bring Mi Hye and Jae Bum together,

but you're going the wrong direction.

Act like her sisters already.

Besides, this isn't a recent thing. She was like that long before.

Mi Sun, when Jae Bum was discharged from the army...

Don't you remember?

When Jae Bum was discharged from the army?

Salute.

Sergeant Bang Jae Bum hereby reports...

as of August 13, 2013, he is discharged from the army.

I report my safe return. Salute!

My gosh, Jae Bum.

You're back from the army.

My dear Jae Bum.

I missed you, Mother.

Welcome back, Jae Bum.

- Are you doing okay? - Yes.

Well done. Congratulations.

Thank you.

How are you, Mi Ri?

Did the army life suit you?

You're still just as chubby.

He's so good at whatever it is he has to do...

that he doesn't have to move as much as the others to train.

That's why he still looks like this.

What are you saying, Mom?

Come and sit down.

Sit down and eat.

Sit down.

Hey Jae Bum, why did you come to our place...

and not go home first?

To see Mi Hye.

- Mother. - What?

Where is Mi Hye?

Oh, silly me.

Mi Hye, Jae Bum's back from the army!

Come and say hi.

What are you doing?

Get out here, Mi Hye!

What...

Are you going somewhere?

I'm traveling to Europe for two months.

- What? - What?

Bang Jae Bum.

Yes, Mi Hye?

Have fun.

Mom. See you.

Hey, Mi Hye! Hey!

- Hey! - Mi Hye!

- What... - Hey!

What on earth...

I just got discharged.

I get it.

What do you get?

Let's have some fruit now.

I'll peel the fruit, Mom.

Okay.

When is your baby due?

Next month.

It must be tough in the hot summer.

It's okay.

Okay, so...

Here.

What's this?

Baby clothes.

I heard it's a girl, so I got a dress.

I'm not sure if I picked well.

I saved up my soldier salary...

and instead of buying Mi Hye's present,

I got your baby something first.

Jae Bum.

It's beautiful.

I'm so touched.

Thank you so much, Jae Bum.

I won't forget this day.

Later on, in the far future,

if you're ever in a pickle...

or feel lonely,

I will take your side then.

Okay?

Thank you.

No, I should thank you.

That sweet boy.

Mi Hye knows nothing about loyalty.

- Kang Mi Hye! - Mi Sun!

Mi Sun! Mi Sun!

My goodness.

Kang Mi Hye. Sit up.

Get up.

Will you leave her alone?

I just want to talk.

Get up, Mi Hye.

Your big sister wants to talk to you and you won't get up?

I'm sitting up. So what?

Hey.

How dare you betray Jae Bum?

After everthing he did...

for you, for all of us.

So what if your chief editor is a bit handsome?

How could you fall head over heels...

and hurt poor, sweet Jae Bum?

I know you're immature,

but are you that bad at judging men?

You married Jung Jin Soo!

- Hey! - What?

How dare you mention Jin Soo?

He's been on my nerves already.

How dare you hit me where it hurts?

Come here. I'll make you regret saying that.

- Mi Sun! - It's been a while.

Good for you. Pull out all her hair.

- Make her bald. - How dare you?

- My goodness. - Keep going!

- Let go! - Teach her a lesson.

I really like my chief editor!

I don't like him just because he's good-looking!

I really, really like him!

None of you know anything.

Do any of you know how I really feel?

Get out, all of you!

My goodness.

(Charcoal Dakkalbi)

(Chuncheon Diner)

(Address: Chuncheon - Kangchon)

(Charcoal Dakkalbi)

Hello, sir.

Hi. Do you need anything?

A drink.

They're outside. Go and see.

Okay.

- Take your pick. - Okay.

It's so hot.

Sir. I'll take this.

A dollar and 50 cents.

A dollar 50?

- Here. - Thanks.

You can keep the change.

Can I?

And then...

Here.

Why are you giving it to me?

I actually...

would like to ask you something.

About what?

A long time ago,

the soup restaurant that was at the end of this road.

- The soup restaurant? - Yes.

I came looking for it,

but a new building's there instead.

I'm looking for the owner of that restaurant.

Do they not live here anymore?

Who owned the place?

All I know is Kang Jae Young.

That name.

Kang Jae Young?

Long ago,

he was an engineer at a TV station in Seoul.

I don't really know.

Then do you remember announcer Jeon In Suk?

Oh, you're talking about that place.

- The Kang family's place. - Yes, yes.

Of course, I remember her.

Announcer Jeon was really pretty.

Whenever she was in town,

the whole neighborhood flocked to look,

to see her pretty face.

I see.

But...

that soup restaurant or whatever it was,

it wasn't Jeon In Suk's.

It was her brother-in-law's.

Then do you happen to know...

where that family lives now?

I'm not sure.

I heard they moved to Seoul.

To Seoul?

Just a moment.

Let me call someone who might know.

Okay. Thank you.

Hey.

It's the supermarket.

Do you know where Jae Gu's family moved to?

Kang Jae Gu.

Announcer Jeon In Suk's brother-in-law.

Yes.

Do you know?

Just a moment. Let me write it down.

(Chuncheon Supermarket)

Where are you, Tae Ju?

I'm on my way to Seoul.

I can't drop by the office.

See you at home.

Are you very busy?

What's it about?

I'll tell you at home.

Okay. I'll be home early.

Oh, did you have fun yesterday...

at your mother's?

I heard the sisters got together.

It wasn't fun.

I'll tell you about it at home too.

Have a nice day.

- Okay. You too. - Okay.

(CEO Jeon In Suk)

(CEO Jeon In Suk)

Hello?

I heard the chairman...

told you to visit my sister-in-law.

You left your business card.

Yes.

We have something to discuss.

When will you come to work?

In Ho asked you...

to find my daughter Seung Yeon, didn't he?

The chairman told him...

to hand over the address and number of where she's staying.

Don't worry.

I sorted it all out.

I called to tell you that.

If In Ho calls,

don't pick up.

He'll only ask for favors.

If you do him a favor, he will keep asking for more.

Okay?

Just remember that.

I'm hanging up.

(Junior Managing Director Kang Mi Ri)

(Han Cheon Ox-bone Soup)

(Mother of Mine)

You still have to find her. You have to find Seung Yeon.

Do you remember Seung Yeon?

Ms. Jeon is done now.

Please take good care of the company.

Mr. Na, you're fired.

Do you dare to disrespect my brother?

I, Kang Mi Ri, am the next CEO.

Look how cheeky she is.

- Mi Hye has someone to marry. - Mi Hye.

I like her too.

I think Mr. Kim Woo Jin is a good guy.

What did you say?

- I am going to quit right now. - Ma'am.

- Tae Ju? - I know everything, Mother.

Do your parents know about it too?

Please, let's stop here.
