Original subtitles

What's the matter with you, Mom?

Are you feeling lonely?

Then find a new hobby...

and stop making a fuss by calling your children.

Hey.

As the eldest daughter, is that all you can say?

I'm already tired.

Come on. Do you think your mom has nothing better to do...

and called you to make this backbreaking kimchi?

Then what's going on?

Who buys 100 cabbages to make kimchi in the midsummer?

Plus, we can't eat this much.

Will you please get over that kimchi disease?

Why are you being like that to Mother?

Mom...

Fine. Don't eat my kimchi.

I don't need it!

- Mom... - Honey.

Mother, I'm sorry.

I'll take this one for now.

Goodness, what's wrong with her?

Honey.

Hey, Mi Sun!

Mother, I'm sorry.

Hey, how could you say such mean things to Mother?

Am I wrong?

Who makes kimchi in the midsummer?

Even if we make kimchi now,

they will go bad and we won't be able to eat them anyway.

So why did she have to call her exhausted children...

and insist on making kimchi on such a hot day?

Was it really necessary to buy 100 cabbages and make kimchi?

She made me embarrassed in front of Mr. Han.

He seemed to be excited.

That's because it was his first time.

He will be frustrated once he spends some time with her.

How come the elderly like my mom and your mother want...

to keep their children by their sides?

That's because they are lonely.

No matter how lonely they are...

we have our own family and children.

We can't stay by their sides and entertain them forever.

What? "Entertain them"?

Do you think you're entertaining your parents?

- Yes. - My goodness.

I didn't know you were that mean.

You are being very childish right now.

Did you just say I'm childish?

Stop asking her to make sausage as a side dish on every meal.

The reason why I'm asking her to make sausage is...

of course because I like it...

but also because our parents are happy when we ask them a favor.

It makes them think they're still important and useful in the family.

And they realize that we still need them.

And it also makes them think that they should stay healthy...

and strong to make stir-fried sausages...

for that childish Jung Jin Soo.

This is the affection between a parent and a child.

How can you be so cold to Mother just because you're tired?

You will deeply regret this when Mother passes away.

No, I won't.

I'm not going to visit Mom for the time being.

Get out of my way. I want to take a bath and sleep.

You'll understand her once Da Bin does the same to you.

What was that?

- We're home. - Welcome.

You must be tired.

Put them on the table.

I'll put them in the fridge.

Yes, Mother.

You look tired. Did you maybe overexert yourself?

I'm fine. I didn't do much work.

Tae Ju did the most of it.

How is everyone?

Are they doing all right?

Yes, everyone is doing fine.

I see.

I told my mom.

That we are trying our best to do well with our lives.

And that you made me fish stew.

What did she say?

I thought she'd be sad,

but she was unexpectedly glad to hear it.

She also told me to make more of an effort.

How grateful.

Then again,

she's the kind of person who would say that.

Tae Ju, do you want my help?

Forget it.

I'll do it. Go rest in your room.

Still...

Go on in. You shouldn't overdo yourself.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Oh, the kimchi juice spilled out a little.

Let me see.

I tried some, and it was amazing.

Mother's cooking skills are unbelievable.

And it was so fun.

I sat around together with her family...

and made kimchi as we chit-chatted.

We ate boiled meat afterward.

And her youngest sister brought her boyfriend over.

The rest of her family gave each other a look.

Anyway, it was fun.

Was it that fun?

Yes, totally amazing.

I should've taught you such joy.

But I made you study heartlessly instead.

I'm sorry.

I still grew up to be pretty decent.

Thanks for saying that.

So...

let's go together next time, Mother.

I have no face to visit them.

They are your family...

to whom you could trust your daughter.

All of them.

And I decided that I should try...

to understand Father...

after what you and Mi Ri told me.

I see.

You made the right decision.

It won't be easy, but I'll give it a go.

I mean, I'm his son.

It can't be changed no matter how much I deny it.

So Mother,

you should visit Mi Ri's mother...

and talk to her.

Please.

("Rain Dies Upright" by Heo Man Ha)

Is there enough space to put it?

Yes, there is. Give it to me.

What if Peter comes here tomorrow and complains about the smell?

There are cake and cookies in the fridge.

They might smell like kimchi.

It's okay.

Your mother made it with dear effort.

I should be grateful and cherish it.

Why did you come to my house though?

Come here.

("Women at the Ox-bone Soup Restaurant")

It's the 1st edition of your 2nd novel.

Congratulations.

("Women at the Ox-bone Soup Restaurant")

I went there to give you this.

And...

to give you this too.

But I don't know if I should give it to you or not.

You keep pestering and throwing a fit,

so I'm confused about how I should behave.

I've never done this before in my entire life.

It's pretty.

It's so pretty.

I'm sorry.

- What? - I said I'm sorry.

I can't express my feelings as much as you want.

I can't promise that I will marry you.

So I'm sorry.

But that doesn't mean I don't love you.

Did you just say love?

Did I?

Do you really love me?

Yes.

I love you, Mi Hye.

And very much at that.

Then...

I don't have to get married.

I'm good with seeing you without getting married like this.

- Mi Hye. - I was just sad.

I was anxious.

I was worried you might leave me...

if I didn't tie you up with something.

And with my mom and my sisters pestering me,

I felt like I should do something.

You don't have to tell me.

I know how you feel.

I wanted to express my heart at least this way.

Because I was also anxious...

you might leave me otherwise.

You and I had the same thought.

It feels great.

I'm...

so happy.

Uncle. Min Ho.

Can you take this?

Hey, what is this?

Wait and you'll see.

Min Ho, is there a box cutter?

Yes, hang on.

Here you go.

What is this, Mi Hye?

What else could it be?

Ta-da. It's my book.

These are free gifts.

- Okay. - No, hands off.

What's wrong?

I want to show it to Mom first.

Oh, should you?

So, did you mention me in it?

Of course. I mentioned you,

and Mi Sun and Mi Ri.

But the most important character of all...

is Mom.

- Your mom? - Yes.

I wrote a lot about her.

Is she in?

Yes. She didn't come out...

to help us open up at all.

Mom!

Mom!

Don't you think she's in an extra good mood?

I think it's because her book's out.

I think...

there's something else.

What are you doing?

Hey.

You can't throw this away.

I like this coat.

So what if you like it?

I won't be wearing it anymore, so give it back.

I won't. This is my favorite of your coats.

You wore this to my first day of elementary school.

Why should I keep something that's over 20 years old?

Give it back so I can throw it away.

I don't want to.

You can throw out everything else but this.

I'll re-purpose it and wear it this winter,

or use as a blanket, so give it to me.

It's mine now.

As if people would like it...

if you wore your mom's old coat.

What's up, Mom?

What do you mean?

You're acting out of character.

You never threw out your old clothes.

Even if Mi Ri bought you something nice,

you said you wanted to keep your old clothes.

I changed my mind.

Why?

Because I did.

It's not like I'll live forever.

Life is short and I can change my mind.

Can you?

Then...

take a look at this.

("Women at the Ox-bone Soup Restaurant")

My novel is out.

When did it come out?

A few days ago.

Mr. Kim gave me a copy yesterday...

that I wanted to show you,

but I couldn't because you were asleep.

I got my box of free copies today.

I'm giving you the first book.

("Women at the Ox-bone Soup Restaurant")

(Author Kang Mi Hye's new novel)

Now are you proud of your youngest daughter?

Yes.

Good. It looks nice.

What? Is that it?

Won't you commend me?

Or pat my bottom?

Good for you.

That's it?

You always hugged Mi Ri...

and patted her bottom for getting good grades.

Your youngest daughter published her second novel after nine years.

How is that your only reaction?

I'm sorry that's my only reaction, okay?

Was I adopted?

You were not.

In the midsummer of 1988,

I almost died giving birth to you.

I had heat rash all over...

that I couldn't even lie straight.

Don't lie.

I bet you almost died trying to pick me up from under a bridge.

Whatever. I'm not talking to you.

Mi Hye.

What?

Give me back my coat.

I said I don't want to.

Give it back to me.

What do you want it for?

I'll give you money to buy something prettier.

I get royalties from my book now.

You were going to throw it away, so it's mine now.

I won't give it back.

[VIU Ver] KBS2 E93 'My Prettiest Daughter in the World' "Getting Ready to Say Goodbye" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Most married women these days work too.

After working all day,

having to cook for family gatherings?

It is a lot of work.

The times are changing.

I believe holiday events should be simpler.

Yes, that's very true.

You should care about what young people say as you age.

They insist on doing things the way they were taught.

That's why they don't get along with younger people.

You shouldn't do that anymore.

- My gosh. - They eat as well.

They're cooking what they'll eat.

I don't get what the problem is.

Hello, Mother.

Hi, Mi Sun.

More anchovies?

When we were leaving Namhae,

we ran out of room in the car...

and couldn't bring back everything we wanted.

My sister-in-law...

sent these by courier.

- Cooking jeon... - Come on.

Why are you just standing there? Sit down and help me clean them.

- Here, I got you some gloves. - Okay...

- Buying cooked food... - My gosh.

How nice of her.

This will last us another year.

After a quick service...

Oh, right.

The abalone, conch, octopus, and seaweed we brought back.

I cleaned them all and put them in the freezer.

Take two packs of each home with you.

- Okay. - To live together...

- in this rough world. - Hey.

- Everyone struggles. - Why are you so sullen?

Did you put cream on your cheeks?

Yes, I did.

See? A little cream is all it takes.

That happened to me too.

It goes away in less than a week.

- Why don't men work? - It's not about that.

- It's just the women. - Oh.

I heard your mom made you help her make kimchi.

You're exhausted, aren't you?

- What? - Mi Sun.

Your mother's really...

To put it nicely, she's a hard worker.

To be blunt, she's overbearing.

She's blessed with good daughters and sons-in-law.

If she makes them come over to work,

who would like that these days?

You shouldn't say that.

Go on. Get to work.

I want to watch my drama after this.

- Okay. - Let's hurry up.

How dare you...

talk like that to your mother-in-law?

What?

- Things got too heated up. - I agree.

Let's all calm down a bit.

The mothers have a point,

- and so do the daughters-in-law. - That's true.

How about we cool things down...

and hear what the panel has to say?

That sounds like a great idea.

Today we're discussing festive day syndrome...

and the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law,

so we have more women here than men.

I had a look at our panel...

- and noticed a gentleman. - That's right.

I'd like to hear what the gentleman has to say.

Sir, how are you doing?

Could you please take the mic?

Sir?

- Me? - Yes.

The mic's next to you.

Could you pick it up?

What do you think about the stress...

that women suffer from before and after the holidays?

- Well... - Sir.

Do you perhaps have a son and daughter-in-law?

Yes, I do.

I see.

Mi Sun, you can take all this with you.

I'll clean the rest and eat that.

I still have some from last time.

We don't need this much, Mother.

Don't say that.

Jin Soo's the only one working now.

You can't refuse free food.

Take whatever people offer...

and put it to good use and save money.

- Take it. It'll save you money. - Okay.

I have no idea...

- these days. - Hang on.

What time does the drama start?

I observe my wife and daughter-in-law.

- What... - What's wrong?

It's 100 percent...

my wife's fault. The mother-in-law is at fault.

- She never stops... - Isn't that my husband?

Mother. What's he doing on TV?

She loses out.

In army terms, it's like working for a battalion,

then getting demoted to working for a company.

In that case, she must stop obsessing...

and learn to let go of her son.

But whenever she has the chance, she goes,

"Do you know how I raised your husband?"

She puts our daughter-in-law to work whenever she can.

She complains about how she guts the dried anchovies and what not.

Mothers-in-law shouldn't do that.

How hard must that be on the daughters-in-law?

- On holidays... - Mother.

- Extra labor... - What?

What did he just say?

I can't believe this.

Mother.

What kind of show is that?

Is it KBC?

Where is KBC? Is it in Yeouido?

Hold on. I shouldn't be here.

- I'll... - Mother, calm down.

Let go of me.

There are a lot of good mothers-in-law.

But the world won't change if we keep doing this.

The most important thing is...

to change the consciousness of mothers-in-law.

That's what I'd like to emphasize.

Don't be ridiculous.

With Chuseok coming up,

we're talking about festive day syndrome.

It's harder to stay at home, right?

Yes.

You have more work at home, don't you?

That's right.

You work a lot, but it doesn't feel fulfilling.

And you're called for everything since you stay home.

Yes, exactly.

I bet you don't even turn on the AC to save money.

How did you know that?

It's so hot here right now.

We keep the AC on all day long.

It's actually cold.

And today is my payday.

I can't take this anymore.

Kyung Jin, are you teasing me or what?

This is why I told you not to quit.

You didn't listen to me. Stop whining.

Who is it? Is it Ms. Kang?

I guess so.

You didn't listen to me.

That's why you ruined your life...

in less than a month since you quit.

Mi Sun, Mr. Jung is very nice.

He buys us lunch and coffee a lot.

Hey, go over there.

That punk.

Stop it.

Hey. Don't hate your husband though.

To support you and Da Bin,

he took a day off and went hiking on a hot day like this.

Won't you hurry up?

I'm coming.

You're young. Why are you walking slower than me?

My gosh.

This is just the beginning. Cheer up, Mr. Jung.

Okay.

Cheer up, Mr. Jung.

(A word from the chief editor)

(Dol Dam Gil Publishing's Chief Editor Kim Woo Jin)

Jae Bum, I need to talk to you.

The fetal sac has implanted very well.

I can also see the yolk sac.

So, Doctor, can we hear the baby's heartbeat...

next time we come?

Yes. Next time,

you will hear the baby's heart beating...

and get the pregnancy diary.

Do you have morning sickness?

I think it's really bad.

She's sensitive to smell, so she retches a lot.

Sometimes she can't even eat anything.

And she eats foods she didn't like to eat before.

There are times when she can't even swallow her saliva.

Tae Ju.

It's important to eat balanced meals.

If you feel nauseated and don't feel like eating,

you have to come to the clinic and take nutritional supplements.

Does she have any other symptoms?

She's having a hard time as she feels more sleepy than usual.

Is this about hormones?

She has to take a nap, right?

Yes. It's the pregnancy hormone.

Make sure to get enough rest.

See? You heard that, right?

Also, Doctor, I make her take folic acid each day.

It seems like you've done your research.

Thank you.

I was so embarrassed because of you.

You don't have to tell the doctor about everything.

I just did it because you're not listening to me.

You heard the doctor, right?

You should get rest when you're tired...

and eat balanced meals.

And it's important not to get stressed out.

My gosh.

By the way, what about Romance?

Romance? What is that?

Our baby's birth name. Romance.

I hope we will have a romantic baby.

What?

I don't want our baby to think life is hard.

I want a child who's bright and positive.

I want our baby to think the world is romantic.

It actually sounds nice.

I like it too, Tae Ju.

- Do you like it? - Yes.

So you're Romance's mom. Let's go have lunch.

Let's go.

Did everyone enjoy lunch?

Yes.

Did the two of you enjoy your lunch too?

Yes. Min Hye.

Some files for my project for the first half are missing.

Please check once more if everything has been sent to the CEO office.

Yes, ma'am.

Ji Soo, aren't you supposed to be out on business with Mr. Park?

Oh, right.

Mr. Park, it's been a while since I asked you to do a survey.

Why are you still here?

I was about to leave.

I was going to leave after lunch.

What are you eating?

I prepared this for you.

If you don't want to work overtime, you better hurry.

I'll keep an eye on you even when I get off work.

All right then.

Get back to work.

What did she just eat?

She just ate the cookie.

She usually never eats things like this at work.

I know.

She's always been strange,

but she's being even stranger these days.

She's going through a lot of emotional ups and downs.

Please understand. Something good is happening to her.

What? Something good?

Is it...

Director Kang...

Is she pregnant?

Pregnant?

That's amazing. That's great news.

I'm so happy for her.

I hope it takes after the dad.

The baby should take after its father.

Please don't take after your mother, baby.

Hello.

Why did it have to be here of all places?

There are a lot of people around here.

What's wrong? You said Jeon In Suk is done for.

That's true.

But I should stay vigilant for another year...

until Kang Mi Ri is kicked out.

Why do you come to Korea so often?

What if someone sees us before then?

I just came for a game.

Let's just go eat.

The kids will move back in soon.

You heard that from Tae Ju, right?

Yes.

I'm just taking Kang Mi Ri in...

because she's pregnant with my grandchild.

It doesn't mean I forgive the fact that she's your daughter.

So you must remember...

that you're not going to get any crumbs off my table.

Don't even look up at my table.

Okay.

I can't...

just sit back and watch...

you and your daughter live in the same country.

I will establish a foreign branch here.

It's a small town in the southern part of the States.

You'll live there...

and report your daily work in the branch every day.

It means...

you want to keep an eye on me until the end.

Do you expect me to leave you alone?

You want to move out of this house and live free from worldly cares?

The kids will come to visit you on weekends,

and they will even bring your grandchild?

Do you think I'll let you have a great time with them like that?

Most importantly,

do you think I'll let you manipulate...

my family and the company sneaking behind Tae Ju and Mi Ri?

I have no reason...

nor intention to manipulate your company.

Anyway, you should be grateful...

that you're even still alive.

Don't even think of coming back.

Don't ever expect to see the kids either.

I understand.

I'm prepared for it.

I'd like to say...

one last thing before I leave.

Your children are not your property.

Don't try to own them, but try to understand them.

What did you say?

It's often said...

that children don't understand their parents.

But there are more parents being understood by their children.

How dare you try to lecture me?

Although you said...

you won't forgive Mi Ri for being my daughter,

the children are coming back to this house to forgive you.

So please...

don't use them only as a tool for the company.

Please open your heart...

and try to get along with them.

Well, then.

How dare you try to teach me?

Spend the rest of your life in the middle of nowhere, America!

You won't be able to take a single step away from there!

Do you understand?

(Episode 94 will air shortly.)

Where did you go?

I had lunch.

What? You had lunch?

Don't you understand what's going on right now?

So how are you going to get rid of Kang Mi Ri?

Time is on our side anyway.

There are many ways to solve this problem.

Don't you think you're being too relaxed?

That's because I have the ultimate step.

"Ultimate step"? What is that?

When Kang Mi Ri gives birth,

I'll release an article about her relations to Jeon In Suk.

Because of the views of the world,

the company will have no other choice but to divorce them.

Then we will be able to have custody of the child.

It's a fact that Kang Mi Ri deceived us.

Did the old man say we can do that?

I think he won't allow that saying the stock price will fall.

Of course, he won't.

But we will still do it.

Hey, he will kick you out as well.

No matter how he goes on about bloodline and all that,

he values his company more than his body or bloodline.

That's why I'm saying this is the ultimate step.

So figure something out before that happens.

Mr. Chairman has agreed on kicking Kang Mi Ri out...

once she gives birth to the child.

I knew it.

This old man is very malicious.

If Kang Mi Ri ever hears about this,

she will probably pass out.

Of course.

We will win that way.

Sun Ja.

Don't say another word and bring this to Jae Bum.

All right.

Here you go.

Thank you for the meal, Mother.

Okay, help yourself.

Because you boiled it by pouring the broth over the rice many times,

I can taste every grain of rice in my mouth and it tastes so good.

Is it that good?

Of course, you make the best ox-bone soup in the world.

Jae Bum.

Yes, Mother.

Have this meal for the last time and stop coming here.

Pardon?

Mother...

What are you talking about?

Mother, although I said my last goodbye,

I think I have to keep coming here to see you.

I've missed you so much.

What am I to you that you want to keep coming here?

I want to keep eating your ox-bone soup.

You can eat an ox-bone soup anywhere else.

But Mother...

Don't use me as an excuse and let Mi Hye go.

Stop coming.

Come on, Mother.

How long are you going to chase after Mi Hye?

She is not pretty nor nice.

Why do you chase after her your entire life and ruin your life?

I didn't ruin my life.

I didn't only come here because I liked Mi Hye.

I came here because I like you...

and Uncle Young Dal over here.

My gosh, Jae Bum. Sun Ja.

I came here to see Mi Sun, Mi Ri and everyone.

Mi Hye was not the only reason.

And the reason why I wanted to marry Mi Hye was not...

to take her away from this family...

but to have you and her sisters as my family.

I wanted to marry her more for that.

Mi Hye, you, and her sisters were...

the people I loved.

So don't come.

We also think of you as family, a son,

and a dearest child. So do me a favor and don't come.

Mother...

Whenever I think about the way Mi Hye treated you,

I want to apologize and bow before you.

So don't come.

Make Mi Hye regret and feel jealous...

by meeting and marrying a nice girl.

Have many kids and live a happy life.

Mother, what's the matter with you?

Anyway,

this is the last ox-bone soup I'm giving you.

Eat up and go home.

Mother...

Sun Ja, where are you going?

I have to go somewhere.

Let Jae Bum eat as much as he wants and send him home.

Come on, Mother.

Sun Ja.

Apart from the gifts we distribute at large bookstores or online,

how about we give out a different gift at independent bookstores.

That sounds good. It's worth possessing.

What do the owners of independent bookstores...

and members of book clubs think?

They all like the idea.

Besides, they came to our cafe often.

They were very surprised...

when I told them the author of the book was the part-timer here.

I've gone through so much to turn that part-timer...

into an author.

You didn't only make her an author.

You dated her.

You've been very busy.

Hey.

Mother.

I'm sorry for visiting you without any notice.

Well,

would it be possible to talk?

The weather is hot. I should've prepared something cold.

It was thoughtless of me.

No.

People of my age...

don't care whether it's hot or cold.

We've gone through ups and downs in life,

so the temperature doesn't really matter.

Look.

After everything I've told you,

do you still like Mi Hye?

Be honest with me.

Yes.

I like her very much.

But...

you don't want to marry her.

Your parents got divorced.

You got divorced as well.

No, that's not exactly the case.

I'm trying hard.

Don't try. If you like her, just marry her.

If you still like her,

you should take her.

Marry her.

Ma'am.

But...

marry her as soon as possible.

I don't have much time left. I mean...

I feel a little rushed.

So marry her as soon as possible.

("Rain Dies Upright" by Heo Man Ha)

Gosh, this brat.

Min Ji's mom.

Hey, are you here to shop for groceries?

Yes, how have you been?

I've been well. Is Da Bin doing all right?

She's doing great.

Why doesn't Min Ji take the kindergarten bus these days?

You didn't know?

She transferred to an English kindergarten.

An English kindergarten?

Yes, kids these days are outstanding at English.

That kindergarten is so popular...

that I barely managed to have her transferred this time.

I see.

If it's an English kindergarten, is it very pricey?

It is.

But I have no choice. It's for her education.

I can't let my child fall behind.

Anyway, we're living a frugal life because of her.

I see.

Oh, gosh. I need to go pick her up now.

See you later. English kindergartens finish early.

- Hurry on. - See you around.

- Bye. - Bye.

It's 57 dollars.

Okay, here.

Are you paying in a single payment?

Yes.

(D Mart is hiring cashiers.)

Here you go.

Excuse me. Are you still hiring cashiers?

Yes.

What's the working time?

From 10am to 4pm.

We're hiring those who can work in the morning.

Thank you.

Bye.

The hours are perfect.

Gosh.

Goodness.

Gosh.

Mom.

Hey.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Why aren't you at work?

Did you quit your job?

Mom, that's...

Be honest.

Mom.

You brat.

I told you so many times not to,

but you still quit your job.

What else could I have done? I couldn't put up with it anymore.

You should've endured it no matter what.

Do you want to live a life like me?

Do you want to be tied up with your husband and child...

all your life like your mother?

I didn't send you to college for this.

What about graduating from college?

That's nothing special.

What's the use of graduating from college or graduate school?

The world is still the same.

To be honest not much has changed since when you were young.

You aren't the only one who feels bad for sending me to college.

I feel bad for studying so hard.

I feel bad when I clean the house or do laundry.

I didn't study like crazy for this.

I feel bad when my mother-in-law has me peel dried anchovies all day.

I feel miserable many times a day.

But what can I do?

I have to raise my child anyhow.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

[VIU Ver] KBS2 E94 'My Prettiest Daughter in the World' "Sun Ja Lashes Out in Sadness & Anger" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Let's...

get divorced for real.

Honey.

Forty years of marriage with you.

It wasn't...

all that easy.

But I try to remember good things only.

Look, Mi Ok.

But...

my husband came out on "AM Plaza"...

and chewed me out in front of the entire country.

I didn't chew you out.

I was just sitting in the studio...

as one of the audience.

They suddenly handed me a mic,

and cameras started to film me.

I was out of it.

I don't remember whether I chewed anyone out...

or what I spewed.

Guess what I did all day today.

I took calls from my friends all day long.

I had to take calls...

from my brothers and sisters-in-law.

Do you know what's worse?

I even got a call from a friend with whom I had lost touch.

"Is that man your husband?"

"Do you really torment your daughter-in-law so much?"

Mi Ok, calm down first.

- Calm down. - Oh, no. I can't.

I honestly didn't know you were this kind of a husband.

I'm divorcing you right away.

I'm going to Rebecca's place tomorrow.

Rebecca?

Yes, Rebecca.

Ouch.

Gosh, I'm so tired.

Honey, I'm home.

Da Bin, Daddy is home.

I said I'm home.

Da Bin.

Hi.

The head of this household is home, so welcome him at least.

Welcome home, Daddy.

Give me my dinner.

Take care of it yourself.

- Da Bin. - What is that?

What are you doing?

What is this?

"Thirty"?

Da Bin, did you get 30 points on this test?

Daddy.

What's this?

Bana... Dana... Banana?

Peach. You got that one right.

What's an orang?

Orange? That's spelled O-R-A-N-G-E.

What's an orang?

Who do you take after?

Kids can make mistakes. Don't make her cry.

I didn't make her cry.

Kids her age on TV...

speak English so fluently these days.

Did we ever teach her English?

Did we?

Why didn't you teach her?

What?

You're home all day doing nothing. Why didn't you teach her?

Did you say I do nothing?

Yes. I took the day off to climb Mount Bukhan...

with the branch manager on this hot day.

What have you been doing not even teaching her that?

Jin Soo.

What on earth is an orang?

What's this? Po...

"Podo" isn't English. That's Korean for grape.

Will you stop it?

My goodness.

Da Bin, you got your looks from me...

but the rest from your mom.

What?

Sorry.

I'll study English harder from now on.

My gosh. I can't believe you wrote "orang".

- How should I read this? - Stop it.

I'm so thrilled to be signing my own book.

I never dreamed this day would come.

These are for the first 100 customers.

We should be grateful, so sign them with care.

Okay.

Can I write a short message as well?

Do whatever you want.

Dear reader.

I wish your family and future generations...

good health, success, and longevity,

and hope you work less and earn more.

My gosh.

Your hand will hurt after writing that 100 times.

Then... Dear reader.

Let's call it a day.

- Why? - Why?

I'm just tired today.

You should go home, Mi Hye.

We said we'd go out for a beer to celebrate her book release.

Later. Let's do that later.

Can you take her home?

Me?

Mr. Kim.

Mi Hye. Go home.

I don't think your mother's well yet.

Go help her out.

Mi Hye. Why is Woo Jin like that?

I don't know.

He can be so weird.

Let's go.

Hello?

It's me. It's Woo Jin.

Have you been well?

I called to ask for a favor.

I'm...

getting married, Mother.

Could you...

come to Korea for the wedding?

It's a photo of our baby.

My gosh.

My goodness.

Next week, we can hear its heartbeat too.

Would you like to come to the hospital with us?

No.

I don't think I can go.

There's something...

I've been meaning to tell you.

I'm going...

to the American branch office.

Mother.

Staying at home all day instead of working got suffocating.

The chairman gave his approval.

There's no way he'd let you go so easily.

I said I wanted to go.

Don't make any assumptions.

Don't worry.

Mother.

When will you leave?

I'll pack and leave within the week.

Why are you in such a hurry?

What about our baby?

You won't even wait for its birth?

No.

I don't think...

I'll get to see it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I won't get to cook you seaweed soup like I promised.

Sun Ja will take care of you...

much better than I can.

So what?

Will you leave me once more?

Father's condemning you to exile.

Isn't he?

No.

It's not that.

Your doctor will have told you the first trimester is the riskiest.

Once you move back home,

you must be extra careful.

Forget everything else,

but beware of people most of all.

Do you know what I'm saying, Seung Yeon?

Welcome, Tae Ju and Mi Ri.

How are you, Mother?

I'm doing just fine.

Do you know how much I've longed for your return?

I barely slept last night.

You look so terribly well.

I thought you'd be stressed out.

Thanks for your concern.

I don't know what you're after,

but you won't get your way.

I just want my daughter-in-law to give birth well and safely,

and make me a pretty grandmother.

Mi Ri.

How are you?

I missed you.

Tae Ho.

You can't run into your sister-in-law's arms anymore.

Why not?

She's carrying your niece or nephew.

You're going to be an uncle.

Welcome back. I was waiting for you.

Anyway, we will live together again.

Let's forget about the past and try to get along once again.

This is nice. What shall we have for dinner?

I'm here to ask you a favor.

You always asked me for favors your whole life.

You really look unwell.

Did you go to a doctor?

I heard you're getting along with Mi Ri.

Yes.

It's all thanks to you.

Thank you.

So I'm here to ask you...

to take good care...

of Tae Ju, Mi Ri,

and their baby which will be born soon.

What did you say?

You've always been like that to me all your life.

I have to go to the States.

I know I'm being shameless.

It's not like I want to leave Seung Yeon...

when we just started to get along.

It's still my grandchild.

Of course, I want to see Seung Yeon's baby.

But I have to leave, Sun Ja.

That way,

the kids can live a better life.

I can't.

I can't do this anymore.

Sun Ja.

I'm busy.

And you're busy with your work.

This is too much for me.

You guys always ask me for favors.

You always...

put a load on my shoulders...

over and over again.

From my husband who died young to my immature children.

We're not even related.

Just because we had the same parents-in-law,

you've been bleeding me dry...

your whole life.

Don't you even feel sorry for me?

You guys don't feel bad for me at all?

Sun Ja.

What's going on?

Is something wrong...

with you?

Hey.

You guys are so selfish.

All you think about is yourself.

You guys are not even interested in what I'm going through.

All you guys do is break my heart.

Hey, do I look like a pushover?

Am I your underling?

Sun Ja. Sun Ja, what's wrong?

Sun Ja.

- Sun Ja. Sun Ja! - Get lost.

Sun Ja.

No.

I can't do it.

I'm so exhausted.

I can't do this anymore.

I...

I can't.

(My Prettiest Daughter in the World)

I don't want to lie there just waiting for the day I die.

Mi Ri will be devastated.

Make sure my grandchild is fine.

The three of us will always be together.

Have you thought about how to kick Kang Mi Ri out?

I'm not letting it happen.

I think this is fate.

I didn't know I'd end up with you like this.

- Are you happy? - Yes.

I'm so happy.

Her mother-in-law is being discharged.

Won't she even show her face?

Stop calling Mi Sun.

You said you don't want to be the only breadwinner of the family.

What are you trying to say now?

Am I not even allowed to worry?

We never know what our baby will be like.

Tae Ju.
