It got worse, didn't it?

I guessed so much.

What do we do?

Why do your clothes smell of perfume?

You reek of it, like you took a shower in it.

Did you meet another woman?

Why aren't you answering?

You were with that other woman until now?

Great. Just great.

You're determined to ruin us all, aren't you?

Who's the tramp? A hostess?

Who's so brazen as to seduce my son a day before his wedding...

Hold on. What's this?

Why did you bring this back? Did Ga-eun give it to you?

Did she catch you with the other woman?

No, she didn't. I'm going to give it back to her.

Goodness.

This is terrible. Terrible! So Rome does fall in a day.

I guess our family is destined to stay poor.

To think I dared to dream of having a rich daughter-in-law.

Oh, Mother.

What do I do now?

This is terrible. Terrible. I can't live like this.

Please leave a message after the beep.

What should we do about the food for the wedding tomorrow?

Forget the food. Leave it.

Jung-woo.

Did I worry you, Ga-eun? I had a few drinks with friends.

You're okay, right? You're not hurt?

That's good then. I was so worried.

Came from the States.

Mi-ran, can you wait until I reach my goal?

Those are the pictures from the memory card, right?

Yes.

This is a surprise. I thought you were gonna end things.

I found out for sure yesterday that Jung-woo truly loves me.

That's enough for me.

I can deal with my hurt pride.

I don't want him to be unhappy.

I don't want to cause pain for the person I love.

So I decided to let him go. Without regrets.

I see.

That's good. You made a hard decision.

And he really wants me to wait.

But I won't.

What's the point? His marriage is the end of us.

The start of a new life for him.

The wedding's tomorrow. Should I go congratulate him?

Or will my being there make him uncomfortable?

Aside from him, the bride's your friend.

You have to go congratulate her.

Go and give your blessing. Tell her to be happy, okay?

Yes. It's true, Father. I really have a girlfriend.

What? Uncle told you everything?

I see. But a blind date every week is too much...

Okay.

Father? Hello? Father?

I can't believe he hung up after he said what he wanted.

Why is everyone so desperate to get me hitched?

What did he say? Is he doing well?

Yes, and thanks to you I got quite an earful.

A big whopping thank you.

If you don't want to be nagged, get married.

You gonna worry your father like this? With his precarious health?

But women are really annoying and bothersome.

Just like you, Father. You said you're sick of women.

Who are you comparing me to?

Jae-bum hasn't even married once yet.

Seriously.

How could you compare innocent me to your father who married three times?

Innocent? Who'd believe that?

- That's nothing to be proud of. - Shut it.

What did Na-na say when she came last night?

Don't get me started.

She was drunk and threw up all over my shirt...

Just thinking of it again is making me mad.

I think your phobia of women was caused by Na-na.

That's a valid observation.

So don't even think about hooking me up with her, okay?

So you'll go on the blind dates?

Yes. Wait, what?

Alright. That's settled.

If you don't like Na-na, blind dates it is.

But Uncle, first we gotta take care of Na-na.

Imagine what'll happen if she finds out about my blind dates.

She'll be mad when she figures out that I lied about being engaged.

Just the thought scares me.

Why did you have to complicate things?

You're the one who lied to Na-na. You handle her.

If you really don't like her, persuade her to give up.

You're still going on blind dates.

Uncle.

I can't believe this.

Jae-bum, you can't weasel out of blind dates this time.

A stable marriage will help you have a stable career.

Do as the adults tell you.

Why are you still single?

I don't really have much of a career.

I look after the chairman. That's pretty much a marriage.

This is the Director's office at Noma Dept. Store.

This is Ha Jae-bum of Dream Dept. Store.

I'd like to speak to Director Choi.

One moment, please.

Jae-bum.

I'm here.

Is that so? Please tell him I'll stop by sometime.

You won't be able to meet him if you don't have an appointment.

I understand. Goodbye.

So you're avoiding me, is that it?

The Noma head honcho?

Yeah. Before the takeover, I have to win over Director Choi.

But he won't even take my calls.

Then what will you do?

Find another way around it, I suppose.

Come in.

Sir, tomorrow's my sister's wedding. I can't make it to work.

Young-eun, who's your immediate superior?

Excuse me?

Why do you report directly to the director instead of me?

Well, you know now. You nitpick over everything.

It's your sister's wedding tomorrow?

Then prepare a monetary gift and send someone to attend.

No, it's okay. Please don't come.

Are you lying to ditch work tomorrow?

Sir, would I lie about my sister to play hooky?

If not, whatever. You can leave now.

Take it easy on her. Punk.

There's supposed to be a wedding, but what if it falls through?

Mom.

Mom!

You're never going to see me again? Please open the door.

I want to get married with your blessing.

So please don't do this, Mom.

I'm going to marry Jung-woo, no matter what.

You need to understand that.

Even if it'll kill your mother?

Mom.

- Who gave you permission to marry? - Jung-woo did nothing wrong.

What did he do to deserve this?

Put yourself in his shoes.

It's unchangeable that you're my daughter and he's his mother's son.

It's not like he chose his parents. How can you hold him accountable?

You said he was the reason you okayed our marriage.

If you marry with only him in mind, you'll suffer your entire life.

If I suffer, I suffer.

I'm going to marry him.

You really gonna be so bullheaded?

I'm sorry, Mom.

Goodness.

Ga-eun!

I can't believe her.

Baby, you ready?

You're already pretty. No need to primp.

You said the well-dressed beggar earns more alms.

I need to show up Mrs. Yoo. Haven't seen her in years.

Show her up? You will, you will.

You're quite the looker, Betty Jung. That's why I love you.

You've got good taste, that's for sure.

Just good taste? Anything else good about me?

Well, you got sizeable muscles.

That tickles.

What should we buy them?

Don't slip up and just do as we rehearsed.

We need to strike first, right?

Right.

Where's the festivities? Feels like a funeral.

How have you been, Mrs. Yoo?

What brings you here?

What else? I wanted to help out for Ga-eun's wedding.

And I have something to say.

I see.

It isn't much, but please use these for Ga-eun's wedding.

It's my thanks for taking care of Mi-ran. I bought the best one available.

You shouldn't have. Get us some tea.

Wash the grapes so Ga-eun can eat them tomorrow.

Sure.

You must be so pleased with your handsome son-in-law.

When did you see him?

Ah... There was a day you weren't here.

I saw the picture in the wedding invitation.

Speaking of which, I want to take Mi-ran home with me.

You do?

No man can ever replace a daughter.

I want to be a mother to her and treat her well.

That's good to hear. I'm glad.

We mustn't let Mi-ran be without her mother.

Treat her well until it's time to marry her to her fianc�.

Fianc�? She said she has one?

You didn't know?

She tried to bring him but it fell through.

What in the world is she thinking?

Please pack her up and send her to me when she gets home.

She can't insist on staying here once Ga-eun's married.

We wouldn't mind, but I'm sure she'd prefer to live with you.

Then I'll send her to you.

Okay.

Mom.

Give 'em here.

I caught 'em!

Mom.

That looks tasty.

- Mom. - Huh?

You were talking in your sleep.

There was a peach that looked so delicious.

A kind I've never seen before.

This isn't just any dream.

A meaningless dream.

Bro stirred things up by staying out all night?

What's going on with his wedding?

What do you mean?

At this point in time, we gotta do whatever it takes to make it happen.

Ga-eun hasn't said anything yet?

She left and hasn't said a word.

Then you don't have to worry.

There are certain rules to cancelling a wedding.

You gotta tell the other party, There's no more wedding.

You deaf or did you already forget?

Her mother already said the wedding was off!

A wedding's not a game. They can't just cancel.

If they cancel, we can't just accept it.

And if we don't?

We demand punitive damages!

Idiot!

I told you to dress nice. What the hell are you wearing?

- Where are we going? - To Ga-eun's to beg if we have to.

We have to do what we must. We have to make this marriage happen.

Ma'am, I'm so sorry.

I was overly concerned for my daughter. Please try to understand.

What's the point of this now? This isn't about that incident.

I understand how you feel.

You're concerned about sending your daughter to such a poor family.

To a lacking mother-in-law and sister-in-law, moreover.

It makes me feel bad if you put it that way.

But you understand that a marriage is between two families, don't you?

Of course, I agree. I didn't know my place.

All I could think about was having Ga-eun as my daughter-in-law.

My daughter and I were out of our minds.

If you forgive us this once, something like this will never happen again.

I'm really troubled.

I didn't sleep a wink and came to the conclusion to cancel...

Wait - wait! Please don't say that, ma'am.

- Come here. - Mom.

Both of us lower our heads in apology.

Please just think of Jung-woo. Think of it as gaining a son.

Please let the kids marry.

Please, stop it. First Jung-woo, and now you two?

Jung-woo got on his knees?

You're making me the bad guy here.

Don't do this.

Ma'am.

Mom.

Hi, Jung-woo.

Mom? Unwavering.

She just sulks without eating.

Will we get to marry tomorrow?

What are you doing?

What? Dad asked to see you?

No, I had no idea.

What is he going to say?

Don't give up on me, okay?

I won't.

When my husband passed, I went through every hardship imaginable.

My neck still aches from the time I used to carry things on my head.

I see.

Things were so hard I considered committing suicide with my kids.

I took them to a bridge to jump after feeding them rice.

Jung-woo asked if it was his birthday.

Mom.

That snapped me out of it.

Why should they die?

I knew I had to live for his sake. I couldn't be weak.

So I grit my teeth and gave life my all.

Even if it put me in pain, I had to raise Jung-woo well.

I decided to live for him.

I hoped a day would come when we could laugh about the past.

And finally, tomorrow is his wedding day.

The day I can finally let go of the sorrow in my heart.

I see.

I understand. You can stop, ma'am.

Jung-woo is a fine young man in everyone's eyes.

If he has one flaw, it's me, his useless mother.

If you forgive us for his sake, I'll never forget your mercy.

I'll make it all up to Ga-eun for the rest of my life.

Please don't call it mercy.

Don't cry and calm yourself.

I understand how you feel.

We should have bought something on the way.

Mother.

Ga-eun, there you are.

Sit. Do sit.

Sit and eat.

Eat this.

Thank you, Mother.

Hold on. It must've been a precognitive dream!

How could I not realize it?

What? A precognitive dream?

I had one of those today. I knew it was no ordinary dream.

It was a positive dream that predicts a daughter for our children.

Goodness gracious.

Mi-ran, come eat.

Mi-ran, you pregnant?

Pregnant?

Looks like morning sickness to me.

Go see an obstetrician. Or at least a pharmacist.

You look tired.

I'm okay, sir.

I understand how you must feel.

But my wife's concerns reflect my own.

I'm sorry, Father.

No need for you to apology.

I pondered all night long what is best for Ga-eun.

Move out of your mother's.

Excuse me?

I choose you.

I'm trusting you and letting you get married.

But my wife does have a point.

A woman's intuition is sometimes frighteningly accurate.

It'll be hard for Ga-eun to live with your mother.

I see.

I'll get you two a place after the wedding.

Move out with Ga-eun.

Thank you, sir.

I feel sorry for her. No one's innately bad.

Circumstances can do that to a person.

Right, Mom?

Jung-woo's mother is a pitiable person.

Ga-eun, it's time for your facial.

Mom.

A facial will help your make-up look better tomorrow.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom, is this your blessing?

Thank you, Mom. Thank you so much.

You have to be happy, okay?

You better not come back to us in tears.

Don't worry, Mom. I'll be so happy.

Thank you, Mom.

You've thinned so much in a day.

You, too.

I'm sorry.

I've got so much to do. Did you pack for your honeymoon?

Lady, how's the food preparation going?

We're having our relatives over tomorrow.

Mr. Yoon, tomorrow's the wedding of Sun Apparel's president's daughter.

Prepare a money gift and a standing wreath.

Test it with the first urine of the day. That's the most accurate.

Pregnant?

With Jung-woo's child?

Ran!

What are you hiding?

Oh, it's nothing.

Ran, thanks for coming. You're accepting my apology, right?

Do I have a choice?

Then why did you avoid my calls and worry me?

You like your other friend that much?

Stop that. It tickles.

Ran, I won't ever say anything that offends you again.

I was thoughtless. Sorry.

At least you admit it.

Ga-eun!

Yes?

Can you believe she was against the marriage until just a while ago?

- She was? - Don't get me started.

The person who fought with Young-eun turned out to be my sister-in-law.

That so?

I'll tell you the rest later.

Ga-eun, until now I despised the world for being unfair.

But it's okay now.

Because Jung-woo will be mine.
