[Episode 24]

Again, I had as much hard time as you.

Perhaps, I had a much harder time than you.

It's me.

Can you come over here now?

Minjoon.

Why are you surprised? Who was it?

A call from a wrong number.

Have some tea. It'll relieve your fatigue.

Why did stepmother call you over?

You know she doesn't like me.

She told me to behave.

It's natural for her.

She reluctantly consented to our marriage.

Try to please her for some time.

We'll clash with each other very little.

I'll be tied up with managing the new store.

Why don't you lay it aside?

Don't be overambitious.

You may have lived that way, but from now on, take it easy.

Minjoon.

Listen to me. We're newlyweds.

If you take up the job, can you even make time to see me?

Don't worry. I can stay with you at work all day.

I'll take a shower.

Just listen to me.

I want you to settle into my family affairs first.

My family is my priority.

You think I'm that thoughtless?

I know I'm not welcomed in this family.

That's why I'm trying to win their approval,

...and finding favor in Father's eye is the shortcut.

So don't stop me and just watch.

Come quickly, I beg you. It's urgent.

His eldest son his old, faithful wife gave birth to.

If I assist Minjoon with my best and make him succeed,

...Father will accept me into his family within 6 months.

Old faithful wife?

How dare she babble those things to me!

It's me.

How are things going? Is it going well?

If you entrusted me with the job, wait and see.

Okay. Just make sure to shake their relationship...

...so I can drag Lena off her high horse.

Again, don't worry.

Minjoon couldn't get over me for 10 years...

...while he's known her for just a few months.

He loved me so deeply. Pretty soon, I can steal his heart.

Time to work. Hang up.

I'm sorry I called you so late.

What's the problem? Are you in pain?

My back hurts so much.

It happens when you're in a wheelchair.

I need to take a painkillers, but I ran out of it.

Can you get me this medicine?

You have no caregiver?

She quit suddenly. I'm looking for one.

I see. Wait a minute.

Where is he?

Did he go out?

The person you have dialed is not available...

Where has he gone this late?

Don't you need to go to see a doctor?

No.

Let's stay still for a while.

I asked the pharmacist to send you medicine upon your call.

So what happened?

I told you I had an accident the day before our wedding.

So what exactly happened that day?

I was going to keep it to myself but...

Remember that lamp?

We fought over it when we went shopping for our home.

You insisted on buying it, but I forbade you.

I don't remember. So what's with it?

It weighed on my mind.

So I bought it and put it in our new home to surprise you.

I was so happy on my way back.

I was driving, thinking about how glad you will be.

But that was the end.

When I woke up,

...I found I lost everything. My wedding, my future, my legs.

So, because of that mere lamp...

No, because of me, you became like this?

No. I didn't call you since you might think that way.

It was my fault to drive in the rain.

So don't blame yourself.

How could you keep it to yourself?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I think 10 years was my limit.

I hated to show myself to you in this state,

....so I was going to live in hiding for good.

But I missed you so much.

It feels like we went back to old days...

...when we were happy together before I had the accident.

The person you have dialed is not available...

Where were you? And why didn't you answer the phone?

You didn't go to bed yet?

I'm asking where you were.

I had a headache so I went out for air.

I'll take a shower.

White World Drugstore in Nonhyon?

He went to Nonhyon to buy headache pills?

It wasn't your fault. It's a part of my fate.

But I missed you so much.

Good morning. How are you feeling today?

I feel very lousy today.

Why? Are you sick?

I think I'm taken with a serious disease.

Huh? What disease?

Lovesickness.

What time are you free today?

I'll pick you up then. Let's stay together all day today.

I miss you, Dumpling.

Okay.

Is Yura's nickname Dumpling?

Well, uh...

I'm so happy today.

It's the first time I see you this happy since you collapsed.

So I was right, huh?

Yura is a perfect match for you.

She may look spoiled,

...but since she grew up in a rich family, she isn't twisted.

And most of all, she's cheerful.

Yeah, you're right. She's a good person.

Thank you for burying the past and settling yourself down.

Now, get well quickly.

Then you'll have nothing to envy in this world.

I'll take care of the rest, so just get well.

Okay, I will.

Good. Wash up before breakfast.

Really? Their love is set aflame!

The more you're exposed, the more you get attached. Yes.

Okay. Bye.

I might become a grandma before they marry.

What are you saying?

Jaejoon is nuts about Yura.

He asked her out from the morning.

Boy, he has an eye for girls.

Where could he find a bride like Yura?

She's pretty, curvy, and even cool.

Why talk at length? Simply put, she takes after me.

Sleepy. Dad, I want coffee too.

Hey, you have a date now. What a state you are in.

Date? Who said that?

We know Jaejoon just asked you out on the phone.

Uh...Really?

Oh, right. I got his call in my sleep so I forgot.

Hey, hey.

You have no time to eat. Hurry and...

You hair stinks. You haven't taken a shower?

Go take a shower and get ready. Hurry up.

Okay.

I have no place to go.

Drink this. You must be thirsty.

Smells good.

It's lavender tea.

It's good for panic disorders.

You already studied my illness.

Sure. I studied all through last night and made a plan,

'Complete Cure Plan for Park Jae-joon'

Really? Then can you cure my illness, Dr. Kang?

I'm serious.

First, play sports outside whenever we can.

I'm a patient. If I'm tired, carry me on your back.

Second, ensure his balanced diet.

I'm a picky eater.

Third, make him happy all the time.

How?

I'll send you a humor every morning to make you smile.

Today's humor is,

...once upon a time, there lived a fly and Peter Pan.

One day, they met.

Peter Pan greeted the fly, 'Hi! I am Peter Pan. Do you...'

If you are by my side, I think I can get over any illness.

Isn't it a promise ring?

What are you doing here?

Did you come here to buy clothes?

I have no one to go hiking with.

I was driven out of home because of Jaejoon.

What do you mean?

He's having fun with Esol, taking advantage of me.

Our parents don't know we broke up.

What can I do? I have to kill time.

But why here?

I'm too ashamed to even hang out with my friends.

But since you are in my shoes, you can understand me.

'Company loves misery.'

Isn't it 'Misery loves company?'

Is it? Whatever.

I'm not feeling good, let's go have a drink.

I don't drink in the daytime.

Then I'll wait. Let's drink this evening.

They are nice.

It's so pretty.

It is, huh? Why don't you try it on?

I think it'll go well on you. Try on.

How do you like it?

Not bad.

Hustle up your work.

Wow! What is this?

Almond pie for Father.

I eat it every day since it helps me lose weight.

Why lose weight?

You look plump and cute.

Really? Am I cute?

Yes. You are women's ideal type.

I'll set you up with a stylist I know.

Really? Are you serious?

You are the only one that cares about me. Thank you.

But is she pretty?

It's unmanly to chat in the kitchen. Go to your room.

My goodness!

What a mess she made.

This is why you need a good daughter-in-law.

You married into this family only recently.

Yet you're messing up the entire house.

I'm sorry. I made some snacks for Father.

Snacks for Father?

Don't you know he has a heart problem?

I do. That's why I made this.

Almonds are good for vascular health.

No need. Don't take it to him.

A wife who frequents her husband's work place...

...will only incur gossips and rumors.

I'm going to go to his office for work.

Work? You are a newly-wed.

Besides, you caused enough trouble to the company.

Must you hustle around now?

Have time for self-restraint at home.

I can't, Mother.

I want to listen to you, but Father called me to come.

What?

Don't worry.

I'll keep your words in mind and visit him quietly.

I'm responsible for repairing the impaired reputation of TNC.

And of course,

...I should help Minjoon get reinstated into his position.

I'm going out then.

My, unbelievable. She's a real vixen.

She's such an old fox.

Don't mind her.

She won't last in this family for long.

What is it?

Can we meet now?

I'm kind of busy.

Really?

I stopped by while I was passing by, but I'll just go.

Where are you?

Your company parking lot.

It's Minjoon.

I'm hungry. I want to eat black bean sauce noodles.

Go that way.

It's me.

Where are you? I came to your office but you're not in.

I'm out to go somewhere.

Where?

I have a staff meeting at the new franchise.

Really? Do you have company?

No, I'm alone.

Oh. You are alone?

Okay. I'll let you work.

You're still clumsy in using chopsticks as 10 years ago.

I know. There hasn't been any improvement, huh?

Why haven't you even had lunch yet?

Your nagging habit hasn't changed either.

You always said, 'Don't skip meals, don't drink coffee, etc.'

Remember?

When I worked at a cafe in front of your school,

...you used to study there, at the second window table.

You were so clumsy and spilled coffee on my shirt.

And we started dating as I insisted on washing the shirt.

Why didn't you keep contact with me?

Because what I wanted from you wasn't pity...

...but love.

I wasn't sure if you could love me like this.

Don't look at me like that. I'm not pitiful.

Oops.

You're clumsy now as in the past.

You are the same now as in the past.

Even your smell.

Taste it, Father.

It's delicious.

It tastes quite different from those in the market.

It does, doesn't it? I'll make you healthy food often.

Thank you.

I called you in regarding the new franchise.

Can you go over this first?

I wrote up a business plan for your reference.

I'm going to arrange menus first then start regional promotions.

If we hold a following presentation,

...we can easily accomplish sales increase.

So you're asking me to entrust you with the new franchise?

Yes. I'm confident.

Get Minjoon's consent first.

Then I'll entrust it to you.

Father.

Do as I tell you.

My employees know the background of your marriage.

They already predicting your divorce.

If you push yourself forward against his wishes,

...who would be favorable to you?

To calm such gossips, live quietly without a conflict with him.

Then they will approve you as his wife. Understood?

Yes. I'll keep that in mind.

Why did you come to Korea?

To live under the same sky with you.

Then why were you there?

Did you forget? You said if we get married,

...you'd take me to your mother's homeland.

When I came back to Seoul, I was aching to see you.

So I went there.

Never did I imagine I could see you there.

Perhaps, your mother brought us back together.

Minjoon, why don't we go back to the way we were?

I haven't forgotten you for the past 10 years.

I lived to tell the tale because of you.

So can you accept me although I am like this?

Let's go back to old days.

I want to be with you.

Jisoo.

Time cannot be reversed.

We can't go back to old days.

Why? Why?

I am married.

I'm sorry.

All I can do for you now...

...is to help you be less uncomfortable.

I'll look for a caregiver tomorrow.

Really? So you're married.

I always wished your happiness. Congrats.

If you are happy, I'm okay.

Instead, let me see you sometimes.

I won't ask much.

Once a week... No, just once a month.

I really want to see you.

I feel miserable, but you can see me out of pity.

Please? Minjoon.

Your wife waited for a while and left.

I see. You may leave.

Minjoon, I came cheer you up, but I missed you.

Cheer up. I'll prepare a nice dinner so come home early.

I love you.

I'm sorry, Jisoo.

I'd better not see you anymore.

I love my wife.

So I want to be faithful to her.

I will be sorry for you throughout my life.

What's this? You were full of confidence, but is this it?

I know.

Seems he really loves Lena Jeong to forget about the past.

What are you going to do now?

I can't become a mere tool to confirm their love.

You'll see.

I will bring him back by all means.

Alright.

Anyways, like I warned you before, she is no pushover.

Don't lower your guard.

Mr. Park didn't come. The staff meeting is tomorrow.

White World Drug Store.

Something's fishy.

[With Jisoo, in New York]

He said he hadn't heard from her for 10 years.

How does she happen to be here?

No, it can't be her. Impossible.

Lena puts me under a lot of stress.

My shoulder is cramped up. I can't even raise my arm.

Let me give you a massage.

Every single thing she does really get on my nerves.

Enduring beyond my patience makes me sick.

So why do you live with her? Let them move out.

You really don't know?

You never know what she's up to. I need to watch her.

Otherwise, she'll catch me off my guard again.

How's it going with Jisoo?

It seems her plan isn't working for Minjoon.

He must be really hooked on Lena that he doesn't waver at all.

So what is she going to do? Give up?

No. She said she will raise the stakes.

What do you mean?

Let's wait and see. Our goal is to shake their relationship.

It's like walking on thin ice every day.

How dare such trash come into my family and mess up things.

When one door closes, another one opens.

Jaejoon and Yura are getting intimate.

Right.

When Jaejoon collapsed, I had inner conflicts.

'Is it really for his sake to press him hard like this?'

Isn't it to satisfy my desire like he said?'

Heera.

But the transformation of Jaejoon these days convinced me...

...that they will make a perfect couple.

There's no reason they can't be happy, right?

Exactly.

Once he gets well, let's marry them and send them to Qingdao.

Yes. Now there's no one to get in their way.

Why?

Do I have something on my face?

I just can't believe...

...that my dear Dumpling is right in front of me.

You'll see me day after day.

See me as much as you want.

Oh. You said you made a plan for my full recovery, right?

I'm thinking about how to be independent from my mom,

...in order to stand firm and protect you.

Don't be hasty. Your health comes first.

If you are with me, there's nothing I can't do.

The only thing...

...weighing on my mind is I'm seeing you behind her back.

I'm sorry. I'm to blame.

Don't worry.

I'll be nice to her as much I feel sorry to her.

She'll be greatly disappointed in me someday,

...so I want to be good to her until then.

Unless we change our minds,

...we will not be separated again, right?

Can I trust you?

Oh!

Of course! Don't worry about it.

Never ever will we break up again.

Okay. I'll trust you.

Oh, I have something to show you.

Take a look.

It's my brother's wedding photos?

I took pictures to make an album.

By the way, who is this man?

Dr. Inchol Seo?

I'm going to fill it with this beautiful beef.

Do we have a to-go order? That's a lot.

Eunsol got a job. I'm going to visit her handsome boss.

That's your problem.

Indeed, the beacon doesn't shine on its own base, right?

You want to see a handsome guy?

Then see me.

Wake up. It's not because he's handsome.

I want to thank him for giving Eunsol a job.

Serve customers open-handedly.

Why are you bracing your shoulders like that?

Ask people on the street.

When it's hard to get a job, both of my kids landed a job.

My life is a success, isn't it? I'm going out.

Okay.

When on earth will Youngu grow up and get a job?

- Dad! Dad! -Yes?

I peed in my pants again.

Look, I won't ask much. Can't you be potty-trained?

Dr. Inchol Seo?

Yes.

He is Yura's father.

But why do you ask? Have you seen him before?

Yes. I saw him when I went to a boutique with Ms. Jeong.

Let's go.

The atmosphere was awkward at that time.

I got an impression they were on bad terms.

Really? Do they know each other?

No, that's impossible.

Then maybe I was mistaken?

Anyways, I envy Yura for her reliable father.

Guess you felt very sad without a father.

From now on, I will fill in his absence with my love.

Mom, what brings you here?

Wow, you look great. Is this your uniform?

Yes. I'm busy. What brings you here?

Of course, I came to visit your handsome boss...

...and thank him for giving you a job. Where is he?

I'm not a child. That's embarrassing.

Hey, you should express your gratitude.

I'll leave after giving this to him.

Okay. But go back quickly.

Okay.

-Follow me. -Okay.

It's here. Wait a sec.

Yes.

Dr. Seo, are you busy now?

What is it?

My mom came to express her gratitude.

Really? She doesn't have to. Let her in.

Mom, come in.

Dr. Seo, this is my mom.

Ms. Kang, let her have a seat there.

Sit here.

So you are Ms. Kang's mother?

Yes.

She has many shortcomings. Thank you for giving her a...

Mom.

Mom?

Then are you...?

What's wrong?

Ms. Kang, stay outside.

Excuse me?

Yes. Go stay outside. Go.

It is your plot, isn't it?

Since I refused your request, you're trying to screw me over.

That's why you sent her here.

No, it's not that. You are mistaken.

Mistaken?

You think you can threaten me with this?

What the heck are you playing at with that girl?

Wait. Did you conspire with her?

To extort money out of me?

What? Hey, how can you put things in such a mean manner?

You think I'm a soft touch?

Whatever you do, I have nothing to afraid of. Get out.

Get out.

Get out of here!

Get off me! I can walk myself out. Get off me!

Get out! Get out of here!

Why are you doing this to her? What did she do wrong?

Get out. Get out!

You get angry for your own mistake.

What? You are really!

Get out now. Get out!

Just get out before my wife comes!

Get off me! I can walk myself out! Get off me!

- Mom! - Get off me!

You get off me! Get out!

Honey!

What's going on here?

Well, uh...It's uh...

Who are you?

Why are you all so quiet?

Ms. Kang, you tell me. What happened?

I have no idea what happened.

Honey, let's go out. I'll explain everything.

Get off me.

Tell me, please. Who are you?

Why did he try to force you out of his office?

Geez. Cat got her tongue?

Ma'am, is there a secret between you and my husband?

It's not that. She's just...

Then tell me what happened!

She is my mom.

Since I got a job here,

...she came to say thank you.

But as soon as he saw her, he tried to...

What? As soon as he saw her?

He's not insane and has no reason to do that to a stranger.

I didn't mean to...

Then it's obvious.

Ma'am, you've known him since before, right?

Tell me. What happened in the past that you made a scene?

Right. We've known each other.

I was a housekeeper for his family 20 years ago.

At that time, he did me very wrong,

...but he's angry at me now.

What? What do you mean?

Did you wrong? What is it?

It's ...

Ms. Yang!

Be quiet!

What is it? Despite the length of time, he tried to avoid you.

...means it didn't end well. What is it?

What did he do wrong?

Ask your husband yourself.

Mom. Mom!

Mom, what's his sin?

Come, you don't need to work here. Come with me.

Let go. I got this job with difficulty. I will work here.

Didn't you see what just happened?

Just quit the job and come with me.

No! I'll work here.

And it wasn't your fault!

Then promise this.

Don't tell anything about this to Esol, understand?

Mom.

Do you understand?

What the heck did you do to her?

Tell me! What is it?

Enough!

Why do you want to know everything?

Your grilling like this is choking me.

What's wrong with him?

Wait, did he just defy me?

Mom!

Did you leave work early today?

Oh. Did you visit Eunsol's boss?

Is he really handsome?

I want to see him too.

No. Don't even go near that hospital.

Why? Is he a grump?

Yes, he is. Very nasty.

So don't even bring him up. Okay?

Okay. That's why your shoulders droop.

I'll give you a massage to cheer you up. Let's go.

Poor girl.

Yes, you're my daughter no matter what they say.

Think as if she never had a father.

Okay.

What a bad smell!

Who made this fermented bean paste stew?

Lena, of course.

Are you sure you are a chef?

Who eats hot stew from the morning?

Remember, I don't eat this kind of food.

Maid, bring my breakfast to my room.

Father, I made it since you like it. Taste it, please.

Really? Let's see.

Your stew was a bit bland, but this is savory.

Try some.

Is it?

Maid, put this away.

He has high blood pressure.

Don't you know salt is poison to him?

Leave it.

Mother, I'm expert enough to know what I'm doing.

I seasoned the stew with herbs, so have no worry.

Father, go ahead.

You studied a lot.

Honey, I think you should learn a lesson from her.

No, Father.

I think so.

By the way, why do you have a gloomy face?

You look pale and sullen.

Is there any problem between you two?

Sorry? No, we have no problem.

No? I saw you go out in the middle of the night.

You didn't have a fight, did you?

Oh, Mother. Why would we fight?

When there are a lot of people who wish our split-up,

...I'm sad if even you say like that.

So you should be more careful.

When you look unhappy to us, how would you look to others?

Yes, she is right.

Don't do things that would rouse others' suspicion.

Behave more prudently and assist Minjoon well.

Yes, I'll keep that in mind.

Can't you get along with my stepmother?

You can't love your enemy.

She didn't like me from the start,

...so she hates the way I am.

But she's too much.

So do I just take in whatever she says. Her wish is our divorce.

Lena.

Okay.

I have a meeting with NBC today. Take care.

Don't be mad.

You're more beautiful when you smile.

Okay. Sorry I was mad at you.

I'll try harder as you told me.

That's my wife.

You're late. Get going to work.

Okay.

What's the matter?

Okay. I'll be right there.

Bye.

Wait.

Who was it?

It sounded like a woman. Who was it?

My staff.

Minjoon, you're hiding something from me, aren't you?

What are you talking about?

Isn't this a picture of her?

The woman you loved 10 years ago.

Do you go through my drawers?

That's not important now.

Do you see her behind my back?

What are you talking about? I lost touch with her long ago.

Then why do you still keep this photo?

Satisfied?

She isn't worth your attention. Bye.

Ma'am! What happened to her? Ma'am!

What's the matter?

You're here.

I came early to look after Ms. Shin.

I keep ringing, but she doesn't answer.

This isn't working. Let's call a locksmith.

You came early.

Hi. How was your honeymoon?

Good. Thank you.

Are we ready for the meeting?

Yes. These are your cue sheets,

...and this is contains the runtime.

Oh. You worked hard in my absence.

And this is for you.

It's your wedding album I made.

Oh. Thank you so much.

She looks familiar.

Isn't this a picture of her?

The woman you loved 10 years ago.

Do you see her behind my back?

What are you talking about? I lost touch with her long ago.

Minjoon.

Why are you surprised? Who was it?

I'm asking where you were.

I had a headache so I went out for air.

I'm sure it's her.

Ms. Jeong, are you okay?

Attend the meeting in my place.

Ms. Jeong.

Yes, Mrs. Park.

I can't get hold of Minjoon. Hasn't he showed up yet?

No. He got an emergency so he'll be late.

Didn't he tell you what it is about?

No.

I see.

Do you remember the man who bought this medicine?

Let me see. The time was...

Yes, I do. He came in when I was about to close the store.

Oh. By the way, what kind of medicine is it?

It's a muscle relaxant.

He asked me to send medicine to a woman whenever she requests it.

Really?

Do you know by any chance...

Jisoo.

Jisoo! Jisoo!

Jisoo!

[Subtitles Provided by MBC]

I saw you hugging her. Understand what?

You even frequent her house?

I'll refuse the happiness you promised.

Did you marry to behave so badly before us?

How much do you want? How much?

She's your daughter. Don't ever show up before us.

I'll get well soon and propose to you.

I can wait until you get completely healed.

If you're going to cause trouble, pack up and leave.

Who is it?

Are you disappointed since it isn't my husband?
