Grandma, dad, mom.

We want to get permission to go out officially.

Do you think that's possible?

I know why you're worrying and why you're shocked.

- Then why do this to us? - We tried too.

We tried very hard to not get this far.

But it happened.

We're going to accept it as our destiny.

I'm glad that you know it's wrong.

Suyeong's aunt, don't you think it will be difficult?

We're not just doing this spontaneously.

We really care for and love each other.

Oh, dear...

Grandma, you gave Taehui and Jaeun your permission.

I know her father has been proven innocent now...

But you allowed it even when she was the enemy's daughter.

Please make a brave decision for us too.

We love and care for each other just as much as

Taehui and Jaeun love each other.

Mom!

Your mom must be shocked.

- Why don't you leave for now? - Dad!

We know how you feel.

We need time to think.

You didn't expect us to say yes today, did you?

I'll do as you ask.

I'm sorry to have shocked you.

But we do really care for each other.

I know why you're worried, but I worked up the courage...

Because we trust each other and are certain about this.

We'll be a lovely couple if you give us permission.

Suyeong's aunt has gone. Did something happen?

You shouldn't have left the guest sitting there.

Mom, I'm upset.

Even if you're mad, Yeoul's a guest here.

She's a wonderful woman. Don't judge her.

I know she's a good woman. Will you go out will all good women?

Mom...

You found a job. I thought you were living a good life.

Now you go and seduce your boss?

I didn't seduce her. Don't speak like that.

Suyeong's mother gave us her permission.

- What? - Really?

Yes, we got their permission first before coming here.

She's surprisingly open-minded when it comes to love.

She said the last memory we'll have before dying...

Is the memory of the person that we love.

Then go live with them. Live there.

If you like her that much, go and live there!

Mom, what are you saying?

Mom, use words.

It doesn't even hurt him. You're wasting energy.

Move!

Why didn't you get shocked earlier?

Did you know about this?

Yes, I knew.

Why didn't you tell me then?

You're worse than he is. You're worse.

You should've told me or stopped it yourself.

Mom, don't do that. You'll wear yourself out.

Move out of the way. I heard you're not moving out!

You tell us that in the morning then change your mind?

Why did you announce it this morning then?

Do we look like a joke to you?

How did you know?

It's not cancelled, just delayed for a year...

Whatever! Just be quiet!

You should've kept your words from this morning.

You're a terrible boy. You teased us.

Why bother announcing it this morning then?

Mom, even though Taebeom...

You're the worst.

You're the eldest son. You knew about this and did nothing?

You should lead him in the correct path.

You're back.

- Did you meet them? - Yes.

What did they say?

They're against it. They were shocked.

- I see. - I'm going upstairs.

Did they speak badly? She looks so down.

They didn't speak against it. They didn't speak at all.

They probably meant that it's not worth talking about.

I guess so.

I felt upset seeing her like that at my in-laws.

I think youngest son really likes Suyeong's aunt.

Aren't in-laws allowed to go out?

Grandma and my parents won't accept her easily.

And they just found out. We'll have to wait and see.

I see...

I talked to my dad. He said to come over tomorrow.

Tomorrow? What time?

Around 10 a.m. if it's okay with you.

Is that okay?

Of course, I'll make time.

I should wear a suit, right?

Yes, just dress up like you did for the graduation photos.

- I'm going then. - Okay.

Your father's home, right?

Yes.

Okay then. You should go inside.

I wanted to go and eat handmade black-bean noodles.

Really?

Why didn't you say so? I love that.

Shall we go then?

I told him I'd be home soon.

Did you?

Let's go next time then.

Was it because of Taebeom?

That's why you were sour after visiting the in-laws earlier?

He'd said he'd treat them better than his own parents.

Suyeong's mother went a step further.

She asked that we give them one of our sons.

Then she'd treat him like her own son.

In-laws are parents too. That's what she meant.

I can't argue against it anyway.

I haven't done anything for Taebeom until now.

What's wrong with you?

We didn't do anything for him.

He even paid for university himself.

I found him difficult as I didn't do much for him.

Now he doesn't even feel like my son.

By the way, what should we do about Taepil?

That makes me mad again.

Why on earth did the in-laws allow it?

I know. I can't believe it.

Go meet them tomorrow.

I want to ask them why they gave permission.

I'll call Suyeong's father.

Lie down. I'll turn the lights off.

Are you that upset? He's just delaying it for a year.

Suyeong's having a baby soon. It won't be easy right away.

Then it would've been nice if he'd discussed it with us.

Let's just go to sleep.

Okay, let's go to bed.

Please eat, mother.

- I'm hungry. Let's eat. - Thank you for the meal.

Guksu, Hana. Let's eat.

- Breakfast's late today. - Yes, it's a little late.

It can be late a few days of the year.

Yes, you're right. Make sure it's not often.

I'm going to meet Jaeun's father after breakfast.

- He wants to see me today. - Really?

If he's alright with it, settle for early March.

You must be happy.

It's good that it was your left arm...

Taepil, I'm meeting Suyeong's father today.

We're going to talk about you.

Why? They allowed it.

We only need permission from you, mom and grandma.

Shut your mouth and eat.

How can he eat if his mouth's shut?

Hey, eat this.

Yes?

Dad, you look 10 years younger in that suit.

Do I?

Dad, what are you going to do about the farm?

You need to change the ownership.

That's true. Do you have a good idea?

I worked with Mrs. Hwang all summer and autumn.

I told you we planted pears and raised ducks.

I felt it then.

The owner of the land has to work on it.

The people who have created Ojakgyo Farm...

They are Mr. and Mrs. Hwang.

If you don't mind, I want to put it under shared ownership.

- Changsik and me? - No.

You, Mr. Hwang and Mrs. Hwang. The three of you.

It's Mrs. Hwang's wish to work on her own farm.

When did you get so mature?

How can I say no when you ask so charmingly?

Let's do that. I'll tell them tonight.

Thanks, dad.

Lieutenant Hwang must be here.

I'll say hello officially. Please let me bow.

Okay then.

Okay. Let me receive my son-in-law's bow.

Sit down. You too.

- Okay. - Yes.

I haven't said thank you to you properly.

Thank you.

Thank you for not giving up and proving my innocence.

- It's nothing. - Through all this...

I knew I could trust you and give Jaeun away.

I am in total agreement of your marriage.

I'm so happy that you'll be my son-in-law.

Thank you, father.

Now you call me father!

I was waiting for you to call me that.

I'm sorry.

As you know, my daughter has grown up lonely.

Make her feel warm and take good care of her.

Take care of her for me.

From now on, you are Jaeun's guardian.

I'll make sure not to forget that, father.

I'll care for Jaeun more than I do for myself.

I'll make sure I don't hurt Jaeun.

Thank you again for giving me your beautiful daughter.

Shall we get married early in March as grandma said?

Okay.

You can't take it back.

We're getting married on the first week of March.

Okay!

Are you busy today?

No, why?

I'm going to have lunch with Producer Kim. Join us.

I told him you'd come.

He's being transferred to the head office in the States.

He's leaving soon.

Really?

No, meet him alone today. I'd prefer that.

Thank you.

Why didn't Lieutenant Hwang come with you?

He told me to meet you alone today.

I have some good news.

You've been accepted as an intern at an American animation company.

What? Me?

I applied for you while you were at the orphanage.

For one year, from April.

Congratulations.

I can't believe it!

You'll go, won't you?

I'm getting married in the first week of March.

That's faster than I expected.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Then you can't go? Can't you go after the wedding?

I have to think about it.

Okay. You know it's the chance of a lifetime, right?

Yes.

Beginning of March?

I may be able to attend your wedding then.

When will you return?

In a year, maybe?

If my father's still mad, 2 or 3 years?

You have to come back.

So I can repay you for all that I've received from you.

Have I done a lot for you?

Of course you have. Words can't express how much.

Your father got mad because you protected my farm.

You know it.

That makes me feel happy.

Jaeun, you've already given me a lot.

I enjoyed these few months in Korea.

It's the first time I haven't felt lonely.

I met Lieutenant Hwang, whom I've always wanted to meet.

We sort of made up thanks to you.

I began work on an animation too.

Most of all, I'm sitting facing you like this.

I'm so hungry.

You're buying today, right?

Taebeom, focus on the special feature for now.

Eunsil and Hyeonuk work on Sojin Electronics' secret funds.

- Yes. - Yes.

Don't let the UBC journalists get the story this time.

- We won't. - We'll make sure of it.

And keep to schedule.

Can't you hand in your stories on time?

I'm sad that we won't hear your nagging anymore.

Nagging?

Don't slack off because you're getting a new team leader.

You should stay alert at times like this, okay?

- Yes! - Yes!

Okay, end of meeting.

Thanks, everyone. See you in 3 months.

Team Leader.

We prepared a gift.

Clothes for the baby.

We hope you have an easy delivery.

We'll take care of IBC.

Don't worry and just rest. Let's give her a big clap!

Thanks for everything.

Thanks, everyone. You all worked hard.

You did a great job.

I'm going now.

Yes, I just got the call.

He's there? Okay.

- Are you sure? - We're late, let's go.

What is it? Are you sad to leave the office?

Not sad... Just nervous.

Everyone else will work hard for the next 3 months.

I'll rest at home, lose my touch and become less observant.

What if I lose my talent as a journalist and team leader?

I'm a little nervous and afraid.

Cha Gom will be upset about hearing this...

Let's just go.

Suyeong.

Wait a minute.

Why are we here in someone else's set?

Let's leave.

It's your dream to host a talk show like this.

- How did you know? - I read your mommy diary.

Let's practice today.

It's my dream to be a guest on a talk show like this.

No way, I don't want to.

Come on, come here.

- Wait a minute. - Sit down, be careful.

Today's guest is the handsome anchor of IBC, Hwang Taebeom.

What?

- Let's begin. - Taebeom...

Special stories of ordinary people. This is the Cha Suyeong show.

We'll begin the show.

Today's guest has great closing comments.

He's very popular. IBC's anchor, Hwang Taebeom.

- Hello. - Hello, I'm Hwang Taebeom.

You're even more handsome in real life.

Do you hear that often?

Yes, sometimes. Thank you.

You were called the national or moral anchor on the internet.

You're very popular right now. How do you feel about that?

A moral anchor?

Thank you to everyone for their love.

Special thanks to my loving wife and cute daughter.

I am eternally grateful to them.

That's right. You have a very cute and lovely daughter, don't you?

- Yes. - Who does she take after?

She takes after her mom. That's why she's so pretty.

She looks like she has two stars in her eyes.

You're such a devoted husband.

Is it true that your wife is very beautiful?

Yes, it's true.

Are you happy with married life?

I'm totally satisfied. I'm happy every day.

I heard that you're also a good cook. Is that true?

My wife is a much better cook than I am.

She's good with seasoning.

Her understanding of saltiness and spiciness...

Surprise!

Hwang Taesik. Kim Misuk. Hwang Hana. Hwang Guksu.

That was fast.

We're a real family now.

Hana, Guksu. Do you see this?

You're not Mo Hana. You're Hwang Hana.

Guksu, make sure you call her big sis from now on.

Okay...

I want a little brother or sister too.

- Really? - Yes.

I want a little brother or sister.

Me too. I want a baby, mom.

Really?

Hana, Guksu, don't worry.

We'll make a little brother or sister very soon.

Wait just a little while.

What is it?

What are you doing?

Changing my name. I'm Hwang Hana now.

The other kids won't tease me about my name now.

I'll help you.

Here, you have this.

It's my first gift to you as your big sister.

Thanks, big sis.

Why didn't you tell me to do it? Here, let me.

No, I'm almost done.

Go and sit down. I'll make coffee.

Okay.

Misuk...

We've registered our marriage and adopted Hana too.

We're a family now.

Shouldn't we sleep in the same room now?

What?

We haven't even gotten married yet.

We haven't had a wedding, but we're a couple now.

Still... Not until the wedding.

That's not fair. Didn't you hear the kids?

They want a younger sibling.

We're old too. We should hurry.

No, I said no.

- Don't even dream of it. - Misuk, come on...

Hana, Guksu! Let's go grocery shopping!

I wanted to meet you today...

Because we heard you permitted Suyeong's aunt to meet our son.

- Is that true? - Yes.

I was a little upset over that.

I'm so glad that you called me.

Suyeong's mother was quite weak mentally at the time.

It was a mistake of judgment.

She had been told to take another medical examination.

Is she healthy now?

Yes. Fortunately, the results were fine.

But it isn't easy for her to take her words back.

Suyeong's mother and I are both very upset.

You two are against it too, aren't you?

Of course. We're in-laws.

Yes, of course.

Even if it's legal, it's very uncomfortable ethically.

Then we don't need to keep going on about it.

You convince your sister-in-law. I'll convince my son.

Let's make sure that we end their relationship.

Yes, that sounds good.

I'm more worried about your son actually.

I don't know if he will give up easily.

I really like your son.

He's smart, sociable and bubbly.

I think he has a very promising future.

Thank you for seeing him so favorably.

In any case, I hope your wife will be okay...

You're here. Sit down.

- What would you like? - I already bought your coffee.

I just had lunch. I don't feel like it.

- You like coffee. - Yes.

- Did you meet him? - I did.

Taepil, when Suyeong's aunt came to our house yesterday...

It reminded me of when I took your mom to meet my parents.

I was younger than you. I didn't have a proper job.

Of course my parents were totally against it.

But I loved your mother and got married.

I thought that was enough.

I thought our love would get us through everything.

But I regretted it soon afterwards.

I got married too early and made life hard for your mom.

She went to work when she was pregnant with Taesik.

She paid for our living expenses. It killed me.

I'm more worried about you than I am against Suyeong's aunt.

If she goes out with someone, she has to think about marriage.

Are you ready to get married?

I don't think you're ready yet.

Marriage isn't just about loving each other.

Love and pride crumbles in front of harsh reality.

If you wanted to try and convince us yesterday...

You shouldn't have just brought her over.

You should've set plans and a vision for the future.

You should've told us how you'd carry that out.

You should've made us trust you, right?

Break up with her.

It's not just because we're in-laws.

You're too young to take care of her.

You're not ready. Not at all.

Yeogyeong.

What is it?

Your brother-in-law met Suyeong's father-in-law.

They're against you seeing their son.

I'm against it too, to tell the truth.

Yeogyeong, you gave us your permission.

I didn't mean it.

I said that because I was nervous about my examination.

I'm against it too.

So break up with him.

It's not just me. His parents are against it too.

Don't be stubborn.

Your brother-in-law and his father promised each other.

I'll convince you and he will convince his son.

No way.

How can you decide without us?

- We're not children. - Yeoul.

I'm really upset and disappointed in you.

You said it was okay. You should keep your promise.

Your permission gave me strength to meet his parents.

Even if you're my sister, how can you do this to me?

Do you think that my feelings for Taepil are a joke?

It was so hard for me to work up the courage.

I'm sorry. I really am.

Then give me your permission. Say yes.

Let me have my way this time.

Giving you my permission won't solve this.

Yeoul.

- I have to go. - Yeoul.

Nam Yeoul!

Mrs. Hwang, you're here.

You weren't inside. I thought you'd gone out.

- What's this? - I'm steaming duck meat.

I want to taste it while you're here.

- Sit down. - Okay.

Haven't you tasted it yet?

Then you don't have the results of the feed tests yet?

I didn't feel like doing it when you weren't here.

Let's not have a big tasting. We'll taste it alone.

Okay. I'm so excited.

Mrs. Hwang, you look blue. Is something wrong?

Life is just so meaningless.

At my age, life is meaningless.

I've turned 60 making rice all my life.

My children think they grew up all by themselves.

I look so old and petty in the mirror.

No, you don't. You're still beautiful.

Don't comfort me.

Life is supposed to feel empty like a vast field.

It's just that we don't realize it often.

Did something nice happen to you?

Why are you all smiles?

I got accepted as an intern at an American animation company.

I guess Americans liked "Oduck Family" too.

- Then what happens? - I can work there for a year.

- From this April. - What?

- You can study in the States? - Yes.

I can't go, but I'm happy.

Go. Why can't you go?

Mister and I agreed to marry in March, where eldest son reserved.

My dad said yes to us getting married.

Get married next year. Next May.

Just postpone it for a year. Don't give up on that.

Then I have to be apart from Mister Taehui again.

You're going to live with him for the rest of your life.

It won't kill you to be apart for a year.

- Taehui won't let you go? - No.

He doesn't know. I haven't told him yet.

Then talk about it with him and go there.

It's a great opportunity. Don't give up on your dream.

It's your dream to be an animator, right?

Yes, it is.

Then why give up on your dream that easily?

Aren't dreams precious to you?

Do you think I was always like this?

I had dreams and a youth too, you know.

I had a vision.

I had my glory days before I got married.

I got pregnant as soon as I got married.

Then I couldn't do anything.

Park Bokja was gone. I was a daughter-in-law, a mom, a wife.

I just disappeared.

Don't think you won't end up like me.

Even if Taehui loves you...

He can't do things for you once you're married.

If you get pregnant soon after you marry...

I'm sure you'll be careful, but you never know.

Imagine if you get pregnant.

Then your life's gone.

Look at me. I'm just a housewife.

There is no trace of me in the bigger world.

Don't live like me.

Keep your name, work and achieve your dreams.

Mrs. Hwang, don't you like your life then?

It's my dream to become a great mother like you.

I honestly respect you.

Goodness. Don't you have anyone better to respect?

You respect a useless woman like me?

You're really worthy.

There are traces of you.

This farm is fertile. You should be proud.

Taesik, Taebeom, Taehui, Taepil. Your four sons.

Forget it. Everyone else achieves that much.

Don't talk nonsense. Go and feed the ducks.

It's almost done. Let's eat soon.

Okay.

The smell's gone, but it tastes bad.

This one even smells as well.

Does it?

We only have no. 5, green tea, left now.

What can we do? Don't worry too much.

- Don't get disappointed. - Alright.

Mrs. Hwang, taste this. I think this is alright.

- It doesn't smell, it tastes good. - It does, doesn't it?

I'm not kidding myself because I want this, right?

You're not.

She hasn't made casserole in quite a while.

I made it especially for you.

Let's eat then. Let's all eat.

- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you for the meal.

This is great. The soup's good.

The casserole's good.

The meat is chewy and sweet too.

Yes, it's really good. Is it from Misuk's restaurant?

Is it? No wonder.

It isn't. It's not mine, father.

I think mother made this. Didn't you, mother?

Yes. Taehui, Taepil. What do you think?

- It's good. - It's good.

- It doesn't smell? - Not at all.

- It doesn't smell? - No.

This duck was fed with the feed that we developed.

We developed good feed! We did it!

Really?

Mother, congratulations.

Congratulations, Park Bokja!

Congratulations, mom. You did it at last!

What? Shared ownership?

Yes. You, me, Bokja.

We'll own it together.

Jaeun thought of it and I agreed happily.

Thanks for the offer...

Then accept it. Let's do that, okay?

- Honey, what do we do? - We can't accept.

Thanks for thinking of us. That's all we need.

We can't accept.

Why can't you accept?

Once the kids marry, we're family anyway.

We're not family. We're in-laws.

No way. It's enough that we farmed free for 10 years.

We'll get ready to move once they're married.

You can sell the farm if you want to.

- Changsik. - Let's not talk about this.

Let's talk about the wedding.

When are you going to get married?

In March, at the hall that Taesik reserved.

That's a great idea. I'm glad you decided on that.

I'm so jealous. Congratulations.

Taehui, congratulations. Jaeun, congratulations.

In March? Jaeun, how about the internship in the States?

Did you know about it? Taehui, did you know?

No, I don't know...

I got offered an internship at an animation company in the States.

From April, for a year.

I found out today when I met Producer Kim.

You should've at least told me over the phone.

Then you can't get married?

I think that will be the best way to go about it.

This is the chance of a lifetime for her.

She won't get another chance like this, mother.

Yes, even if you have to delay it for a year...

I don't think you should give up the opportunity.

Don't you agree?

Dad, I just want to get married. It was so hard for us to meet.

I can't live apart from him.

So let me marry, dad.

Good, good. That's a great idea.

You shouldn't part at a time like this.

Jaeun, do you want to get married that quickly?

Do you like Taehui that much?

Yes! I totally like him!

Good, good.

I understand, Jaeun. I totally understand.

Of course.

Jaeun, my third daughter-in-law. You're the best!

I'm glad. I'm so happy.

What is it?

Why didn't you discuss it with me earlier?

I thought it was a decision I had to make.

Don't you want to go? It's the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Of course I want to go.

But if I go after we marry...

We have to live apart for a whole year.

I don't want that.

Through all this, I've learnt that you can't have everything.

Now, I just want to be with you.

It's a great opportunity, but it's nothing compared to you.

Thanks.

How do I look?

You look so pretty.

You look great too.

Stand on the spot!

Turn to the right!

Attention! Salute!

Salute.

Thank you.

Do you remember me?

Yes.

He thinks he's so good.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Jaeun, look this way.

You look so pretty, grandmother.

1, 2, 3.

- You look so pretty. - She's beautiful.

You're so pretty!

Come this way.

- You're so pretty. - Take a photo.

- Shall we? - Congratulations.

Look this way. 1, 2, 3.

You look wonderful.

Thank you.

What? A car accident?

How hurt is he?

Alright then.

The officiator got into a car accident.

He dislocated his back and went to the hospital.

It's time to start. Where's the officiator?

Really? What do we do?

We can't just wait.

Suyeong, can I speak to Mister Taehui?

Here come the bride and groom.

Shall we do this?

Okay.

You look beautiful!

You look beautiful!

Now in front of witnesses and family members...

They will bow to each other.

Groom and bride, please face each other.

Groom and bride, bow.

I, Hwang Taehui, take you, Baek Jaeun, as my wife.

I promise to love you and care for you forever.

And forever live as your shadow.

I, Baek Jaeun, take you, Hwang Taehui, as my husband.

I promise to love you and be your tree.

And be with you forever.

We're supposed to listen to the officiant's message...

But Professor Na, who was supposed to be today's officiator,

was unable to attend due to personal reasons.

- He isn't here? - What will they do then?

So due to the earnest request of the groom and bride...

We will ask another officiator to stand before you.

The groom, Hwang Taehui's mother, Park Bokja.

This is great.

Ma'am, can we ask this of you?

Goodness...

Mrs. Hwang, this is the last day I'll call you Mrs. Hwang.

I really want you to give the speech.

Please, mom.

No, I don't want to.

Mrs. Hwang, you haven't even congratulated me yet.

Dear, me. I'm about to crap my pants.

Mom.

Mom!

Clap, please!

Go up and say something. You have a lot to say.

Yes, say something. It's your stage.

Hurry up.

Well...

To tell you the truth...

I'm against this marriage.
