Original subtitles

The look on your face tells me you're scared people will know.

Don't worry. If you give the farm back, I won't take this any further.

But you must change the owner's name right away.

I think you're being a little harsh.

Let me speak, please.

Does Jaeun know that you're here?

You can't answer me which means you came secretly.

You're barking up the wrong tree.

Tell people if you want to. We're not scared.

- Do you mean it? - Of course I mean it.

Why would I sit here and waste time with a rude person like you?

I'm not one to talk about having a conscience.

And I'm second to none when it comes to being thick skinned.

Compared to me, you're like a drop in the ocean.

Are you trying to teach a fish how to swim?

And who are you to tell us to give you the farm?

You're supposed to be her stepmom. As soon as Baek Inho disappeared...

You abandoned Jaeun and went running!

I'm here to talk about the farm.

Also, I am Baek Inho's wife.

Don't you know that I have legal rights regarding this property?

If you're going to be like this, I will have to tell the media.

Tell them if you want to. I told you I'm not scared.

If I was scared of that, I would've given it back already.

People can criticize me if I deserve it, so tell them.

How dare you try to threaten us?

Plus, if we're going to give it back, we'd give it to Jaeun, not you!

Think of what you did to her.

How can we trust you and give you the farm?

If we do give back the farm, it will be given to Jaeun, not you.

Do you understand?

- If you do, then please leave. - Yes, please leave.

I don't want to look at that shameless face of yours.

I've been patient with you but you've been extremely rude.

Go, before Jaeun gets back.

You ran off without her. You show up and don't even ask about her.

I don't want to let her see you demanding that we give you the farm.

- I to you to leave! - I'm going.

I only came here today to see how shameless you really are.

Just know that this is only the beginning.

I, Jeong Yunsuk, am not to be taken lightly.

Take this with you. We don't want it.

Keep it, it'll come in handy. You're going to be broke soon.

Please leave a message after the tone.

What's with her? She should call me if she can't make it.

So when... How did you find out?

I saw mom take the written promise out of the wardrobe.

I went to see you at work the next day.

I couldn't even look mom in the eye at first.

And it was even harder to face Jaeun.

These last few days have been terrible.

How about dad? Does he know?

He didn't know, but he does now.

He heard me talking to mom.

What has mom done?

I know. What has she done?

Let's go home. Tomorrow, we'll put the farm under Jaeun's name.

This is ridiculous. This can't happen!

It's a crime. It's crossing the line.

Let's go. We shouldn't keep dragging this on.

It's for mom too. We should put this right.

Mom and dad will be talking now.

I think dad sent us out so he can talk to her.

He will tell her to give it back.

So let's just wait, Taebeom.

Yes, let's wait tonight.

Hey, you're all here!

Can I sit down too?

I'm really mad. I could use a drink of soju.

Sure, sit down here.

- Can we have another glass? - Yes.

Why are you mad?

Someone called me to meet so I went out.

I waited for an hour, but they didn't show up.

They didn't call or even answer their phone.

Here's your glass.

Thanks.

- Here, have a drink. - Yes.

Can I have one too?

Is something wrong?

- Why? - The mood is a little...

Am I interrupting?

No, it's not like that.

We all worked hard picking pears today.

We had a drink, so we're all starting to feel tired.

Okay then. Let's all say cheers!

Taesik, I need to go. I have to go to the station.

- Okay. - Stay for a while.

- We're all getting up soon. - I have to go.

I guess you were all discussing something.

I'll just have this glass and go.

It's okay...

How about we all have one last glass and go?

Yes, let's.

Jaeun, it's not because of you. Don't get the wrong idea.

It's not like that. Don't think that way.

Okay, I won't.

You all worked hard picking pears today.

Jaeun, you too.

You too. Eldest son, Second son, you both worked hard too.

Yes, we all did.

Hyeryeong...

Stir-fried small octopus?

Braised mackerel.

Kimchi fried rice.

Goodness!

It's gone cold.

Please leave a message after...

What's this?

I fell in love at first sight at 21 and loved a woman for 10 years.

Since then, I can't meet another woman more than 3 times.

I wanted to get married.

I got introduced to several women and I tried my best.

That's when realized.

That it was just something that I couldn't do.

I realized that there were some things that even I couldn't achieve.

Are you still awake?

I don't know how to express in words...

My heart is a mixed bag of emotions.

Let's give the farm back, okay?

You've made up your mind to give it back, haven't you?

That's why you spoke that way to that woman, right?

Should I call the boys tomorrow?

Gather them and tell them to get ready to move?

Answer me.

Tell me what you're thinking about and how you feel.

Park Bokja? You frustrating and disgusting old woman.

Don't keep it bottled inside. Tell me.

You stole the written promise and hid it.

Since that day, you've kept quiet. Your heart must be a mess.

Talk to me.

Fine... Let your heart rot away then.

Who can stop you?

You can't have your way this time. Don't even try.

I'm going to call the kids and I'm giving it back tomorrow, alright?

Nicely dried yellow corvina and beef brisket and white radish soup!

I love these dishes.

Mrs. Hwang, did you make these for me?

Take the dishcloth and wipe the table for me.

Yes.

Are you feeling alright? You look really lethargic.

I've been busy this morning, that's all.

- I'm going somewhere. - Where?

Let's talk about it at breakfast. Go and wipe it so we can eat.

Yes.

- Good morning. - Where's Taehui?

- He didn't come home last night. - Was he undercover again?

I wonder if he even gets to eat.

What a feast. Is it someone's birthday today?

No, I just made a few dishes.

- She's going somewhere. - Where?

- Let's eat first, mother. - Yes, let's eat.

Thank you for the meal.

I'm going to my hometown for a little while, mother.

I'd like to visit my mom's grave and see my sister.

Is something wrong? You visit the grave when something's wrong.

No, mother. Nothing's wrong.

I was going to go once we finished harvesting.

I haven't been there for a long time.

- We haven't finished harvesting yet. - Let her go, mom.

We've done most of the work. I can do the rest alone.

It's hard to go up the mountain if it gets any colder.

Now is the perfect time to visit her mother's grave.

You're being so firm. What can I say?

Go then. Will you be back today?

I'd like to sleep overnight and see my sister.

Yes, do that.

I made plenty of food. You just have to cook the rice.

Don't worry. I can still make a few meals.

Don't worry about the ducks either.

I'll change the sawdust every day and feed them on time.

I'll take good care of them.

Okay.

Did you pack warm clothes? It's chilly now.

Dad told me to, so I did.

Mrs. Hwang!

Eat this in the car.

- What is it? - Open it.

Steamed eggs?

You should eat steamed eggs with lemon soda when you travel.

You like traditional food, so I thought you'd like it.

Some of them are cracked.

It's my first time. Some of them cracked suddenly.

But these two are fine, so eat them first.

I'm always on the receiving end...

- Is there anything you want? - No.

I should pay you back for all the work you've done.

Tell me what you want. I'll buy anything for you.

I don't need anything else. You already let me back in the attic.

Mrs. Hwang, I feel sad even though you're only going away for a day.

It's cold. Don't go around with your neck all bare. Wear warmer clothes.

It's not like the city. The air's cold and the temperature's lower.

Yes, I'll wear warmer clothes.

Okay. Go inside.

- Goodbye. - Okay.

See you soon, Mrs. Hwang!

Don't worry about the house or ducks. Have a great trip!

When did grandma pass away?

When I was around 15.

You were really young. What about grandpa?

When I was around 7 or 8.

That's so early. You probably don't even remember his face then.

Of course I don't remember.

I can barely remember my mom's face.

Sometimes I have this silly thought.

Your grandma died early.

If I meet her after I die...

What if I'm too old and she doesn't recognize me?

Why do you think that way? Don't even think about it.

Mom, I'm going to get a job.

That's great news. Do you mean it?

Yes, I've been looking into a few positions.

So just wait 10 years.

In 10 years, I will buy you a farm.

I'm going to work hard for 3 years and save up some funds.

I'll use that money to start a small business for myself.

I'm going to succeed.

When I do, the first thing I'll do is buy you land.

Not under dad's name either. I'll buy it under your name.

I feel great just hearing that.

I'm not joking. I will!

I didn't say you were joking. Good.

You promised me. You'd better buy it for me.

Father called. He told us to come for breakfast.

You can just go to work if you want. I know my parents discomfort you.

It's the first time he's asked us since we got married. Let's go.

Go alone if you want to. I don't want to.

- How can I go alone? - Don't go then. I'm going to work.

Is this because I came late without calling you?

I'm sorry. Something came up at home. I didn't have time to call.

Did I say anything?

You didn't say anything, but I can tell you're mad.

You've driven me to the edge time and time again.

Don't I even have the right to get a little angry?

Even though I said I don't expect love, just marriage...

Even if I stooped low to make you marry me...

Yes, dad.

- No, we can't go. - What do you mean by that?

Taebeom said he'd come. Your mom's cooked up a feast.

We've been waiting for ages. Bring Taebeom over right now.

Dad! Dad!

I guess we have to drop by.

Okay. Wait just a minute.

Can you clean the table?

You should clean up the house at least.

- Excuse me? - I'll wait outside.

Clean the table and come out.

I don't believe this.

- Taebeom, you're here. - Hello, father and mother.

- Welcome. - Did you visit your parents?

- Are your parents well? - Yes, we went to see them.

My father asked about you too.

My mother loved the food you sent.

She told me to thank you for the lovely food.

Thank you, mother.

Really? I'm glad she liked it.

- It wasn't easy to prepare. - I know.

I have a meeting this morning. I have to go right away.

- I just came to say hi. - What meeting?

- You don't have a meeting today. - I do.

I should go too then.

You stay and eat. You have time.

Yes, alright...

Enjoy your breakfast. I'm going.

Cha Suyeong! Are you really going?

You didn't even have breakfast.

You didn't finish your steak last time, so she made Korean food.

- How is it? - Thank you. It's really good.

How nice.

Your wife left without even having breakfast

and yet, you can stuff your face.

She's just joking.

It has a hidden meaning, but eat up anyway.

Sons-in-law who eat well are more favorable.

Yes.

She prepared all this since dawn to feed you.

Don't leave anything. You have to eat it all.

Yes.

Don't you like marinated raw crab? I made it myself.

I love it.

You're not even touching the watery kimchi.

He will eat it. Just wait.

See? He's eating it.

Have some tofu pancakes too. It should be good.

Yes.

Father, mother, please eat.

Oh, right.

Did you fight with Suyeong?

Honey, don't keep prying.

Look at me. I don't ask him even though I'm curious.

No, we didn't fight.

Of course. You'd say you didn't even if you did.

- Eat up. - Yes.

You worked for an online shopping mall?

You're confident in dealing with customer complaints?

Excuse me.

- Yes, Yeogyeong. - Where are you?

- Are you at the store? Are you? - Yes.

You're going to do as you wish? You're going to open?

- I'm in the middle of an interview. - An interview? What for?

You're so foolish that even your friend conned you.

Yeogyeong, I'll call you later. Bye.

Sorry about that.

How much does this store make in monthly sales?

It must make a lot.

- Does it look that way? - You'll have to make a lot.

It's really big. The rent must be a hefty sum.

I think that'll do for the interview. I'll contact you.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

I was passing by so I came.

I wanted to tell you a few basic things.

I couldn't just pretend not to know.

Basic things?

How could you think to open without knowing anything?

What do you think the biggest problem with this store is?

The location, right?

Yes. To be precise, because of this poor location,

no one knows about it. That's the biggest issue.

People are totally unaware that this store is here.

If people know and you're still not selling, that's serious.

But if you're not selling because they don't know about it...

That's a relief. Why? You just have to make them aware.

Make them aware... How?

Change the sign first. Make it bigger and brighter.

So it can be seen from far away.

The lighting inside this store is too dark too.

If you brighten the lights a little, it will be much more effective.

Don't think about selling for the first two months.

Just concentrate on making people aware of your store.

Once people know, they will buy goods naturally.

How do you know all this?

I went to a lot of expos for the last few years and researched.

I also worked at other stores. It comes with experience.

I will need these skills when I start my own business.

I'm going then. Bye.

Taepil!

Are you interested in being a manager?

Excuse me?

Grandma, have some fruit.

- What are you doing? - I'm applying to change my name.

Your name?

Grandma... What's your name?

Sim Gapnyeon? Gapnyeon?

Your father really didn't put much effort into naming you.

What kind of a name is Gapnyeon?

There were a lot of names like this in the past.

You should be grateful you weren't born when I was.

In the past, you would've been named Baek Malnyeon.

Malnyeon!

- Are you going somewhere? - To school.

Really? Wait a minute...

Can you drop by and give Taehui his clothes on the way then?

It's hard for these weak limbs to carry me there.

- You don't want to? - No, it's not that.

I can't let you go with your weak limbs. Give them to me.

Tell me the truth!

Why is your statement different every time?

Do I have to show you why they call me "Taehui the Dog?"

Yes... I mean, no.

- Answer me straight. - Yes.

If your statement's wrong again, I won't use words.

On what day and at what time did you meet last month?

I don't know... 5th or 6th...

- Hey. - Yes?

- Hwang Taehui, what are you doing? - Stop it.

- What's wrong? - Seo Dongmin! Let go!

Okay, Taehui. Let's go out.

Seo Dongmin!

Why is he so worked up? Hey, sit down.

- Just go out... - Okay.

What's wrong with you today?

Did something happen yesterday?

I don't know what's up, but you're not your usual self.

Detective Jang and I'll handle this. Go and get some rest.

Isn't that Baek Jaeun?

If she's looking for me, tell her I went out on an investigation.

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

I'm here to meet Lieutenant Hwang Taehui. I have to give him something.

Lieutenant Hwang?

He's out on an investigation right now.

I see...

When will he be back? Is he going to be late?

Yes, I think he'll be late.

What is it? I'll give it to him.

Can you give this to him for me?

His grandmother packed some clean clothes for him.

Grandmother?

I know mister's... I mean Lieutenant Hwang's grandmother.

I'm going then. Goodbye.

Yes, bye.

- Dad. - Hello.

I have something to tell you.

I don't know what it is, but I'm going out right now.

The taxi's waiting for me.

It's about the farm. Taepil told us.

He did? Let's talk about it in the evening.

Taesik will call soon. Let's all meet and talk about it then.

Dad.

Your mom's gone to her mother's grave.

Why do you think she did that?

Don't worry. Let's talk tonight.

Mom. It's me, Bokja.

Your daughter, Bokja is here.

I've grown old, haven't I?

You can't believe it either, can you?

I have a daughter-in-law now.

Taebeom got married.

Mom, I'm turning 60 soon.

Can you believe it?

Taepil says I'm scary and I horrify him.

He says I scare him more than anything else. He hates me.

If a pebble suddenly comes flying and breaks your window...

You have to throw it out. You can't welcome it, can you?

I worked to death on that farm for 10 years.

Then a girl I've never seen before shows up and tells me to give it up.

How could I have done that?

Changsik says I'm the scariest and most sickening woman alive.

He says I disgust him.

Even more than a snake.

Mom, why does my heart hurt so much?

As Taepil said, I stole it...

I stole it and threw her out.

So why does my heart hurt so much?

Why do I feel so wronged and angry?

Why doesn't my family understand how I feel?

It should've just ended as a small pebble...

But everything's gone wrong since she pitched her tent in the yard.

She kept showing up in front of me.

And now she's come into my heart.

She says that I feel like her mom.

She's grown fond of the most horrible woman alive.

How much must she have missed her mom to do that?

How empty must she have felt and how lonely must she have been?

Mom, what should I do?

What have I done to that pretty, kind, young girl?

Mom! What can I do?

Mom! What can I do? Mom!

Mom... What can I do?

Mom!

Mom...

What do I do?

Enjoy your meal.

Why did you come? I told you I'd go tomorrow.

I'm going to go home once you've finished eating.

There's a delivery truck coming tomorrow morning.

I came to buy you a meal once you came down from the mountain.

Eat up.

About Jaeun...

If I tell her about the written promise,

she'll probably never want to see me again, right?

Will she report me to the police?

I think I'll feel better if she reports me.

Then I could probably sleep peacefully.

I haven't slept more than 2 hours a night since that day.

- Have you decided? - Yes, I have.

I'll return the farm and tell her about the written promise.

I've been considering it for a long time.

My head told me to tell her, but my heart wouldn't follow.

I know. You don't need to tell me.

We'll find a way to live, won't we?

Of course we will.

We ended up on the streets and lived on when we lost the house and shop.

Even when the debt collectors chased us and the boys couldn't go to school.

When you didn't even get to hug the baby that was stillborn...

We had to send her to heaven and still got by. We'll live on.

Yes, I won't need to use my hands to work the soil anymore.

I won't have to worry about the hot sun in the summer.

I won't have to fight with insects and worry about the fruit getting damaged.

I won't need to have sore shoulders from taking care of the pears.

Do you want some rice wine?

No, I didn't do anything right. I don't want a drink.

If you can't do it, do you want me to tell Jaeun?

No, I will tell her.

I have to tell her myself with my own lips.

I will tell her and she can kill me or report me.

I'll just let her do what she wants.

That innocent girl said that she wanted to call a woman like me, her mother.

I have to do this for her. My conscience depends on it.

I'll go tomorrow and tell her.

Okay. Eat now.

Okay.

Let's have the dinner we missed yesterday.

I'll cook. See you at home at 7 p.m.

Hello.

I just made some pasta.

It's pasta made with just olive oil.

- Do you like it? - I don't mind it.

- It's ready. Wash your hands. - Okay.

Have a seat.

You can't have wine, can you? Or just a little?

It's okay. I'll just have water.

Then I'll just have a little.

Try it. It should be good.

I've had the taste confirmed by several people.

Including Hyeryeong?

Was her name on the photo too?

No, you called out her name when you were drunk.

- I'm sorry. - You don't need to apologize.

It's not like I didn't know. You told me.

You were crazy about a woman for 10 years.

Still, the photo...

You should've gotten rid of that before you got married.

It was with my things. I didn't know.

I don't think you would've brought it on purpose.

I said you don't have to love me.

I'm the one that begged you to marry me.

I know you could get annoyed at me for reacting this way.

I know that, but...

This is why I was afraid of marriage.

I was afraid I would hurt you like this.

I thought I had gotten rid of everything a few years ago.

I guess it must've been stuck inside a book.

She has nothing to do with me now, so...

It's okay. Stop. Don't tell me anymore.

You're not the only one who's scared.

I'm scared that I will make you unhappy too.

The first thing that came to my eye in the photo...

The woman was there too...

But all day, the way you looked in the photo has been on my mind.

You looked really happy.

It was so untainted. Your smile was radiant.

I've never seen you like that.

That's why I think I was angry.

To be exact, I wasn't angry at you, but at myself.

In case I would make you unhappy.

In case I had made you lose that smile.

I'll try harder to be happy.

I'll try not to get hurt too.

It looks good. Thanks.

When are you going to see the doctor?

The doctor? Tomorrow.

Let's go together. I'll make time in the morning.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Hwang Taesik, you have really lost your mind.

He makes me babysit all day and doesn't even answer the phone?

Speak, dad.

Who is it? Answer it.

Yes.

I'll answer it later. Keep going.

Okay. I heard that you all know.

I've finished talking with mom. We're going to give the farm back.

Mom's going to meet Jaeun tomorrow and tell her.

And... We will have to move.

Taebeom, Taehui, about the money you were going to give us...

Can you lend that to me?

- Of course. - Yes.

We'll put together that money and the money we've saved up.

We'll try to find a house.

Taebeom's married now, so I'm not concerned.

Taesik and Taehui, you will have to travel to and from work.

With the little money we have, we'll have to move much further.

- It's okay, dad. - Yes. What can we do?

Yes. What can we do?

About giving the farm back to Jaeun...

Taebeom looked into it and Inho had a lot of debts.

If we put it under Jaeun's name, the creditors may take it.

Just do as Jaeun asks, dad.

If she wants it in cash, sell it and give her cash.

If she still wants it under her name, then do that.

Okay. Jaeun can decide.

Yes.

That's all. Anything else?

How is mom doing?

She cried a lot at your grandma's grave.

I feel like I've killed your mom several times already.

I put her through so much.

Is mom going to tell Jaeun about the written promise too?

Yes, after she feeds her a proper meal tomorrow.

She says she has to do it herself.

I guess we won't see Jaeun after tomorrow then.

Eat up.

You're all eating so well.

Sorry, I'm sorry.

I was busy at school. I forgot.

You must've been hungry.

Mrs. Hwang will scold me. I promised I'd feed you.

Mongsil, don't push. I told you to make way for the younger ones.

Ari...

Mister!

When did you get here?

I went to see you at the station today. Did you know that?

Yes, I heard.

- Did you get the shopping bag? - Yes.

Yes... I know you're not used to saying thanks.

Because you're really quiet.

Actually, I need to see you.

If you're free, can you wait a little while until I finish?

It will only take 10 minutes.

I'll buy you coffee.

It's my treat today.

Here you are.

Thanks.

You totally ignored me the other day and made a fool out of me.

I shouldn't even be talking to you like this.

I don't know why I'm giving you this either.

- Here. - What's this?

It's a lucky charm. I made it myself.

I worked hard for 2 days to make this.

So keep it with you always, okay?

Your work's dangerous.

- Do you like it? - Yes.

Thanks.

I think today is my only chance to tell you this...

You asked me who the woman in the photo was last time.

Do you still want to know?

Yes. Who is it?

She...

She's the one who gave birth to me. The woman in the photo.

She's the one who gave birth to me.
