Original subtitles

Yeah, Ji-ho.

I'm here.

Yup, take your time.

Welcome.

You arrived first.

Finally.

You said it would be just the two of us.

Right. You didn't say she was coming.

If I had told you, neither of you would've come.

Why are you back to back?

I have no intention of looking at her.

What the heck?

You know what? I...

I called you guys to tell you something.

Tell us what?

It's something I want to share with you together.

Let's do this first.

Have a glass of water.

What is it? Did something happen?

It's making me uneasy.

What is it?

Well, girls...

I...

As for the Natural Uni part, we'll calculate it after SU.

Is there anything else to discuss?

TO DO: TELL ACQUAINTANCES

Yes, Chief Nam?

At our last company dinner, after three drinks,

you all made bets on my sexuality.

What? What bets? Why would we do such a thing?

We quit betting.

As if we had nothing better to do.

This is outrageous.

Who bet on me being homosexual?

Heterosexual?

Asexual?

Congratulations, Bo-mi.

I am getting married.

Getting what?

Nam, Chief Nam?

What did he say?

-He's getting married. -Married?

Everyone pay up. Fifty bucks.

Chief Nam? A quick word?

Is this because we made bets behind your back

and you are doing this to mess with us?

It is, right?

Did you pay the fifty bucks?

Hey. You're getting married? Getting married for real?

Marriage? Wedding? As in one of the four rituals?

Yes.

To a woman?

Yup.

Stop joking! How can you get married? You're asexual.

You thought I'd believe that?

That's a fake marriage, right? Punk! You can fool the others,

-but not me! -She's pretty.

She's pretty?

Yup.

Very.

Se-hee's fallen in love.

Se-hee finally knows love!

You're getting...

Married, you said? To your landlord?

Surprised?

When did you start dating?

Dating?

Right, dating.

One or two months ago.

You started dating when you moved in?

-Pretty much. -So long ago?

-Yup. -But why didn't you tell us?

You said there was nothing between the two of you.

She did, right?

Yes. Though it was suspicious, you were so adamant.

That's because it was still very new.

I was kind of embarrassed to tell you.

You're marrying him so soon?

Yeah. You know...

There are lots of people who marry

after only two or three months.

That's other people.

This is you, Ji-ho.

What about me?

It takes you a few months to befriend someone.

And now you're jumping into marriage. That's weird.

Isn't it weird?

Relationships between people

aren't always about how long they've known each other.

What I mean is...

Even if you haven't known each other long,

if it's someone you feel that you really need in life...

Need?

"Need" might be

a strange word to use for a person.

What I mean is...

I know why you're getting married.

Ji-ho...

was it love at first sight?

You fell for him the minute you met him.

Like in movies, she was swept away. That's it, right?

Yup, correct.

Correct?

Well, it's like that. That's what happened,

I got swept off my feet at first sight.

So you're suddenly marrying him?

Yeah.

I think it was fate.

No way!

Oh, my...

I think it was fate.

You're crazy. You start out as a drama writer...

and end up becoming an actress!

Let's go.

This way.

Were you able to tell the people at work?

Yes. We had a staff meeting,

so I told them all together.

What about your colleagues that you thought would be difficult?

That was resolved in one go as well,

using the weak nature of male evolution.

What?

How about you?

You've known each other for so long, did they understand?

I also told them both in one go.

What method did you use?

Well... Fate--

I was lucky.

I used a little storytelling.

Being a drama writer

-came in handy. -I see.

NAM HEE-BONG

Shall we go in?

Hey.

Will you be all right?

Yes. I will give it a good try.

Since your mother was a viewer of my show,

it shouldn't be hard.

-Your father... -My father?

You don't have to worry about him.

My landlord's mother. Jo Myeong-ja.

From Seoul, Jongro district.

Born in 1955.

A homemaker who wants to be viewed as a good wife and affable mother.

You're here, son.

Have you been well?

She would like to see her son get married as soon as possible.

The typical mother character,

who tries to reclaim the peace in the family.

This is Ji-ho, I told you about her.

-Hello. -You're here.

-Was it difficult getting here? -Of course not.

Here, I hope you'll like them.

Oh, my word.

Is there a woman who dislikes flowers?

They smell so nice.

I hadn't received a bouquet in ages!

A character like her is my specialty.

Writing dramas for a long time will pay off.

Your father is on his way back from the airport,

returning from a trip with his friends.

Sit down.

Yes.

My landlord's father is Nam Hee-bong.

After lecturing for 30 years as an ethics teacher,

he retired last year as a principal.

He is a typical educator character.

This is my area of expertise.

This will be easier than I thought.

You're here.

You said you were a tenant, so I thought you were just that.

It's natural to come to the house before getting married.

You didn't think we would understand?

Right, honey?

Don't you agree?

Thank you

for understanding.

I wasn't in the right frame of mind that day.

Of course.

That's when it's good for the man to speak up.

The men in our family are rather shy.

Which is not a bad thing.

Those kinds of men take good care of you behind the scenes.

What was it?

A big softy?

Right?

I agree, because my family is from Gyeongsangdo.

Really? Where in Gyeongsangdo?

Namhae.

Wow! It's great that you went to Seoul National University

all the way from Namhae.

It's difficult to get into a university in Seoul, even if you grew up here.

Why did you say

you want to get married?

What do you mean, why?

Because they're young and in love.

Why are you asking such a weird question?

You attended a prestigious school

and must have been passionate about your writing.

Why suddenly quit and decide to get married?

-That... -Please stop.

You pushed Mother to get me married. What don't you understand?

I didn't ask you.

Yes, that is...

I haven't known Se-hee for very long, but...

Couples don't refer to each other that way, do they?

-Pardon? -You were born in '88, not '78.

Is that what you call him?

Is this a pressure interview?

I am asking reasonable questions. Don't overdo it.

Why are you asking why we are getting married?

Can't a father ask that?

My sweetie...

I...

l love him.

Are you and Ji-ho having a good weekend?

I was so happy to see you two.

You are so in love!

Oh, for goodness...

Son, I love you.

-Are you going to work out? -Yes.

-You're eating a late lunch. -Yes, I slept in late.

I feel relaxed now that I've met them.

You must have been very anxious that day.

Yes, probably.

You would have been tense. How did that...?

Yes?

I...

l love my sweetie.

Did you draw that from your drama-writing experience?

I am surprised once again

-by your improvisation skills. -Yes.

Based on your father's type,

I thought we needed a slam dunk.

I see. It was a slam dunk I never even thought of.

I was surprised you made it work.

He does not usually believe those words.

It occurred to me

that your father wanted to hear a love declaration.

I think he wanted to verify

if I was a good match for his son.

To be honest,

it might be a little obvious,

but there is nothing more definitive than love in that situation.

Right. There's no easier word than that either.

Now both families have to meet formally.

Yes. Is that the only thing left of the process?

Yes. If everything goes well,

that will be it.

I'll be going.

Have a good workout.

ARE WE ON FOR DINNER?

-SOO-JI: CAN'T. WORKING LATE. -HO-RANG?

It's pretty.

What is?

The fine dust.

It sounds crazy, right?

Yep.

More than Ji-ho?

Nope.

Soo-ji, is Ho-rang all right?

What does Ji-ho say?

Is she asking about me?

Yeah.

Did I not pull it off

when Ji-ho told us?

Was it too obvious I was jealous?

No, just a little obvious.

Ji-ho, wear the dress I gave you when the families meet tomorrow,

okay?

I know this is weird,

now of all times,

with me getting married...

I'm sorry.

I knew you'd be like this.

There's nothing to be sorry about, okay?

Why is she sorry? It's not like she stole my husband.

She's such a softy.

You've never met Brother-in-law, have you?

Who is Brother-in-law?

Ji-ho's groom. You don't know him either, do you?

"Brother-in-law"?

We need to check him out before they set a date.

I worry she might've fallen for the wrong person.

Let's ask Won-seok when he comes.

He would know best.

What?

You haven't made up yet?

He hasn't come home

in five days.

Did you ask for a refund?

They said not in a million years.

Go home.

I had 23 bottles of soju in three days thanks to you.

I feel like my intestines have burst and my liver has partially melted.

There is no home for me to go back to.

I have nowhere to go.

The lease is in your name, but she paid the deposit.

Go back to that rooftop home.

I won't, I won't go! I'm so mad!

Do you know how much effort I put into that sofa?

I sold my favorite wireless keyboard for a loss.

Then why the heck did she get so angry?

You bought her a sofa when she asked.

If that's not the answer, what is it?

How would I know what happens in her head?

Perhaps she didn't want the sofa,

but something else?

He really bought you the sofa.

Your Won-seok is...

bright and innocent.

It is actually pretty comfy.

That bright, tiny,

pebble-like engineering student.

I thought I had shaped him into a gem,

but I was mistaken.

A stone will always be a stone.

Why don't you propose to him?

-Are you crazy? -Why not?

The first person who wants to marry should say it.

I don't want to!

I don't want to look desperate.

Marriage?

Right! Think: sofa, newlywed home, her co-worker.

Hence, she wants to have a newlywed home you can put that sofa in,

like her friend from work.

She wants to get married.

That's it!

No. No way.

What do you mean, "no way"?

You've been dating for seven years! It's time for marriage.

Sang-goo, my Rang isn't that kind of ordinary woman!

When I was writing my thesis, do you know what she did?

When my professor went on vacation, she watched their dog

and even helped their kids with their homework.

A girl like her knows well that this is the most important time in my life.

Marriage? You just don't know my Rang.

My God.

We missed it!

The sofa was

the display model. That's it!

No way!

That's it!

It was that!

How did you know that?

Oh, we missed that one!

Unbelievable.

-This liquor! -Have something to wash it down.

The sofa was the display model!

Yeah.

-Mom, are you sleeping? -What?

Are you coming on the morning bus?

-Yes. -I just wanted to tell you

something about the meeting.

Ji-ho? What?

Dad. What happened to Mom?

I don't know! She put me on the phone.

What? What happened now?

Well, that's...

All right, Dad. Get here safely. Bye.

-You're here. -Yes.

-Was that your father? -Yes.

I told him that we're not having a wedding ceremony.

I see. I told my parents, too.

Really?

Yes. I thought I should tell them in advance

to avoid surprises tomorrow.

How about your parents? Did they take it well?

Yes.

Fortunately,

Dad didn't say anything.

I think it's because my brother hasn't had his wedding yet. That helped us.

I see.

My mother didn't have an opinion on it either.

I think she was shocked when I detailed the costs of a wedding.

I see. That's a relief.

Then...

After this family meeting,

there will be no more expenses, right?

Right.

Let's finalize the contract tomorrow after we get back from the family meetup.

Yes.

But, Ji-ho,

your mother.

What are her thoughts on it?

-What? -When I think about it,

since we went to see her last time, your mother hasn't had much of an opinion.

My mom...

She doesn't usually have opinions.

As I told you, our family is an absolute patriarchy.

Now that I think about it, your father didn't say anything...

-What are his thoughts? -I don't care.

What?

It's tomorrow at five. I will be waiting at the terminal.

All right.

The weather in Seoul is cold, so dress warmly.

Of course!

Mom, remember to bring motion sickness medicine.

How come Mom doesn't reply?

She put Dad on the phone before.

Mom, are you asleep?

I'm sleeping.

How did she text me if she was asleep?

Jeez.

What is it?

It feels like she's protesting at me.

Getting married is a huge thing, isn't it?

This is not just any event, right?

On that, let me pour you a drink.

-Yes. Of course. -Here.

Kids are so smart these days.

When they said they weren't going to have a ceremony, I was disappointed.

But if you think about it, it's such a wise thing to do in today's economy.

Yes, well, I'm grateful that you think that way.

Let me pour you a drink now.

Yes. Thank you.

To get into Seoul National University from Namhae,

she must have been very smart since she was little.

No, just the same as others.

Her manners are impeccable.

Just the same as others.

She's so gentle and amiable, unlike kids nowadays.

That's not true.

She's the same as others.

Oh, I see.

She's just the same.

She's adequately immature

and adequately selfish, like kids today.

She's exactly like all the other kids. Nothing special.

I see.

Why say such pointless things?

Let me pour you a drink, ma'am.

Yes, thank you.

We are celebrating.

Yes.

Oh, you paid already?

Yes.

I saw on some blog that it's best to settle the bill

from the family meeting in advance.

Should we settle shared expenses at the end of the month?

It would be a hassle to go half and half every time.

After today, we won't have shared expenses.

I'll take care of this one.

No.

This place is expensive.

But your parents made the trip all the way to Seoul.

We should take into consideration their cost of transportation, too.

Okay.

Right.

So we meet, we tell them,

and, after we go through a few steps,

it's finished.

Getting married is easier than I thought.

Actually, I was worried

that the families would have a hard time understanding.

I expected it to be this easy.

-Really? -Yes.

Because we work so well together.

I have a mortgage, but I have a house.

You graduated from a top university, but you're jobless.

I think these reasons made sense to both families.

I understand why my parents would understand,

but why yours?

My parents want someone who adds to their reputation as educators.

But, at the same time,

they wouldn't want a daughter-in-law who was smarter than them.

You met both of my parent's

-hypocritical demands. -I see.

I never thought that being a jobless, elite graduate

could bring about such a synergy.

I'm glad.

I am the grateful one.

What is it?

Did I say something wrong?

What's wrong with you today?

Are you drunk?

Sure. I'm a little drunk.

Since I'm a little drunk, I'll say what I want to say.

We have no intention of sending our daughter off haphazardly like this.

What do you mean, haphazardly?

We're going to do what others do.

We'll have a ceremony.

The kids already made up their minds.

We agree with you.

There should be a wedding ceremony.

Have you gone senile?

Are you sick?

I guess menopause has kicked in.

What's really wrong with you?

Are you trying to wreck your daughter's marriage?

What?

What did I do?

They started talking like that first.

Say what?

They were very nice.

Saying how she's not like kids today.

That she's gentle and amiable.

All compliments to a mother.

If they both work, it'll cost more to raise kids.

She said it's good she quit her job to stay home.

That's the truth!

And the decisive one.

How is she like me at all?

Mom, you and Sis look the same.

You didn't know that?

Mom.

What's really wrong?

Mom, when you went to Young-in's wedding,

you said it was a noisy, money-wasting event.

It's better to have a quiet gathering with family.

Why have a proper wedding?

They seem to think you're a pushover.

You thought gentle and amiable were compliments?

It means you are obedient to the in-laws.

And that you should not make noise.

And not having a wedding, too.

They are looking down on you, can't you see?

Why do you twist things so much?

It's because it's the truth.

Let me ask you this.

You...

Why are you getting married?

What do you mean, "why"?

Is it so strange for a 30-year-old to get married?

What about your work?

Your writing?

I don't write anymore.

I ended it.

So then, instead of getting a job,

you get married?

So what? Can't I do that?

Do you think I paid for your tuition and let you go to Seoul for this?

You insisted even when your dad gave you a hard time for this?

Just to turn out like this?

So what?

Did you think I'd become a big shot?

Were you hoping I would give you money once I became a famous screenwriter?

Yes, that's what I wanted, why?

After giving you so much, it's such a waste.

I paid your tuition and gave you spending money

without your father knowing.

Before you go, leave that dress I bought you for the commencement.

She marries as a job...

You couldn't even get a luxury bag like the rest. That's how stupid you are.

You have to have something to get something.

What do we have at home?

You can't afford a room for your daughter.

You should listen to what you're saying!

Writer?

You need to come from a rich family to be successful.

If you don't have money,

all you can do is sleep.

Dreams don't come true.

Your father

is being considerate of her family. Usually, the men don't care,

but the bride generally wears a wedding dress and does these things.

Your motto in life is to not care about what other people think, isn't it?

Please relay this message to him.

So, the thing is...

Se-hee is saying it's pointless

to hold an expensive wedding for the sake of other people.

My daughter-in-law isn't "other people."

Tell him I said it.

Your dad feels that a wedding is a happy day

to welcome a new member to the family.

Everyone should come together and celebrate.

Just say you wasted all the money you gave away at weddings.

That sounds much more sincere coming from you.

Se-hee...

You just want to brag about how you raised your son

and how your daughter-in-law graduated from a prestigious university.

I'm not getting married to make you look good.

You promised that once I get married, you'll stop threatening Mom with divorce

and stop caring about my business.

Please keep your word.

How is it considered a marriage without a ceremony?

That's not a marriage.

I won't accept it.

Se-hee... Hold it in.

Hurry and leave. Go quickly.

Didn't you have a full-on dinner?

I burned it off arguing with my mom.

So you won't have a ceremony?

I'm unemployed and, with his mortgage payment, finances are tight.

No way.

Don't you want to wear a wedding dress?

What about wedding pictures?

I'm not sure. The landlord and I don't really care about those things.

Ji-ho, getting married is not just about you.

Your opinion doesn't matter.

Why do you hold press conferences before a drama airs?

To draw attention, so the investors and the stations don't lose out.

It's the same with weddings.

That's why I don't want to.

Why must we?

And how are my parents investors?

It's about the same.

Your mother said the same thing, though she said it out of anger.

It's not only the money, they want to be compensated emotionally.

Yeah, I also want to see you in a dress.

Your mom must want it, too.

I don't have money for the wedding. Neither does the landlord.

Why do you keep calling your fiancé "landlord"?

What?

Did I do that?

Yeah, twice now.

Did I?

Why did I do that?

By any chance,

do you guys have some kind of landlord-tenant role play?

"Your rent is overdue."

"I'll teach you a lesson."

Right?

I like it, Soo-ji!

No! What are you doing?

"There's no hot water in the shower."

"I'll warm you up

with my body!"

Oh, my gosh.

That's so dirty!

I said that's not it. Are you crazy?

-Hey, are you not wearing a bra again? -Yeah.

What's wrong with you? Why do you do that?

Hey, think about it.

Imagine a perfect-sized chest like mine

being squeezed like this all day. How would you like it?

Let go. I'm going to kill you.

I wish I could go to work without a bra.

Sis, Mom wants to know your boyfriend's phone number.

-One more beer over here, please. -No.

-Didn't you say you wanted to get drunk? -I am drunk enough.

Your rational neurons aren't drunk yet,

not after just one pint of beer.

And why don't those rational neurons

work that well with marriage?

What do you mean?

Weddings are a way of collecting money.

How many times have I told you that it's a strange ritual

where people gladly pay for their own meals?

You only hold a ceremony to get money from people.

In the end, you are sure to benefit from it.

I have no intention of helping my parents collect money.

Do you want to suffer for the rest of your life

just because you refused this one time?

Go with it and enjoy a comfortable marriage.

Will you put up with your parents nagging over this for the rest of your life?

Just do it. It doesn't cost that much. Should I do a cost estimate for you?

-No need. -Okay.

The money you'd receive as gifts would cover the meal.

Bride's dress. I know a cheap place.

Traditional wedding, skip. Here, this is about what it should cost.

As I said, no need.

That's all it would cost?

It can be cheaper

if you use acquaintances to help. Him, for instance.

Who is he? He's been sleeping here since we arrived.

Even more, since yesterday.

He's the one that introduced you to Ji-ho! Ji-ho's friend.

Hey! Get up!

Get up!

-Jeez. -Hey, be careful.

Nice to meet you.

I'll design the invitation for you. For free.

How did it go with your mother?

What about your father?

-Should we just... -Should we just...

Please go ahead.

Should we...

just have

a wedding ceremony?

Please pay attention to the project's stabilization.

Don't forget we have the company dinner on Monday.

Who holds a dinner on a Monday? I don't like this company culture.

That's the strength of a liberal company like ours.

If you don't like it, become a CEO, okay?

I'll have to miss the dinner this time.

You can't miss a company dinner unless there's a death in the family, Mr. Nam.

I have a wedding on Monday night.

A wedding on a Monday night.

It's a great Monday night to get married.

Who gets married on a Monday night?

Whose wedding is it?

My wedding.

So, I must go.

It's cheaper to get married on a Monday night.

You're the best man, CEO Ma.

Will you miss it because of the company dinner?

She wore it once for a photo shoot. It's practically brand new.

Thanks. Be sure to tell your friend that I owe her dinner.

But someone already wore this dress. You don't mind?

Since it was used for photos, it's too simple.

It has no volume.

Come on. I'm only going to wear it for an hour.

It's pretty.

And all wedding dresses look the same to me.

How is that possible? Are you color blind?

Are you expecting many guests on a Monday?

Most of them are my parents' guests. We don't have many guests.

The landlord...

Se-hee will only invite his coworkers.

Does he have cute friends?

I haven't dated in a while.

Nothing to do with dating. Your sex life is having a dry spell.

What about the guy you were texting with? Did you cut him off?

He looks perfectly fine, but he's too much. Gives me a headache.

Oh, yeah, Rang.

I invited Won-seok to the wedding.

Really?

I think Won-seok drinks every day these days.

His voice sounded really bad.

Really?

Aren't you going to call him?

Why would I call my ex? I'm not desperate.

If he doesn't call for a week, it means we broke up.

I have a blind date soon.

Here.

What will the concept be?

-Melodrama, romantic comedy, comedy? -What's this?

Your wedding concept. Do you have a song?

No. Now weddings have spinning, squat and stand, push-up games.

Traditional concepts are fun. I'm looking forward to it.

Don't do anything.

You only have one job, CEO Ma.

End the wedding ceremony as quickly as possible.

What did you say?

You want to cut short your once-in-a-lifetime wedding ceremony?

I want the least memorable wedding ceremony possible.

A short and very ordinary wedding ceremony.

I am counting on you.

I'm sure he's up to something.

What about the groom's suit?

I think I'll just wear my suit.

Okay.

As for our parents' Korean dress...

My parents will borrow from relatives.

My mother has one also.

Okay. We took care of them quite easily.

I think that's all, right?

The most important thing remains. Our contract.

Yes.

What we need to agree on is...

The cost of things and...

And how to end our contract.

Yes, as we discussed previously,

we'll spend our own money on holiday or family-related expenses.

-Are you okay with that? -Yes, I am.

Our contract will expire in two years.

If any unexpected event arises,

we'll renegotiate.

Do you agree?

Yes.

But... what will cause

the contract to expire?

Will we be getting a divorce?

I know we won't register our marriage,

but our friends and families will know about us.

Yes, you are right.

We'll announce the end of our contract in the form of a divorce.

We can say we settled for a divorce over irreconcilable differences.

What do you think about that?

I think that would be good.

It's agreed then.

What are you bringing me this late?

The food Mom brought. You left it behind when you ran off.

Mom wants me to get her your boyfriend's phone number.

Tell her you couldn't. Say I won't tell you.

Why does she want to call him?

What's wrong with Mom all of a sudden?

Why is she acting so odd?

I'm shocked as well.

I didn't think Mom would do that. With the wedding and all.

And what was that about a luxury bag?

I don't know.

Don't worry. You just have to have a wedding.

I'll get Mom and Dad home. See you at the wedding.

Bye.

Sis.

You know...

I think I know why Mom is acting like that.

Marriage isn't as simple

as you think it is.

You'll know what I mean when you get married. Bye.

You'd think he's been married for six years.

It's only been six months.

According to sociologist Gary Becker,

there has to be a greater benefit to getting married than to remaining single

to make people get married.

I thought marriage was

something simple.

Something that could be done to benefit one another.

Except that, for us to benefit...

we must relinquish love.

I thought in our case it would be

much simpler.

Shall we go?

Yes.

It suits you better

than I anticipated.

Thank you.

What? A traffic jam? How long...?

There was an accident. It will take us more than an hour to get there.

An hour?

Ji-ho, you should get going or you'll be late.

Okay. I'll see you later then.

What should we do? My friends who were going to pick us up are stuck.

Yes, I was looking at the traffic report. There was an accident.

I think we should take a taxi or we'll be late.

Yes.

That bus takes us right to the wedding hall.

I know.

A taxi will be pricey.

Shall we run?

Yes.

We should arrive on time, right?

Yes. We have enough time.

Do you think...

you'll be needing a handkerchief?

What? A handkerchief?

My friend, the best man, told me to bring a handkerchief.

When the bride cries,

the groom should make sure to wipe her tears.

Cry? Me?

I know, right?

That won't happen.

No.

You worry about so many things.

Why would I cry? I'm not like that.

Yes.

I'm so glad that you're not.

Hi, Ji-ho.

You look so pretty.

-Ji-ho! -Ji-ho!

Oh, my goodness! You're so pretty!

I knew you would, but you still take my breath away.

-Friends, please sit. I'll take a photo. -Yes.

So pretty!

Your groom is way better looking in person than in photos.

And you said you don't care about looks.

Yeah! It was a total shock. He's tall, too.

Really? He's tall?

Did you use waterproof makeup?

Waterproof?

You'll ruin your makeup if you cry.

That's why you use waterproof makeup.

I'll take the picture.

One, two...

Good to see you!

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Oh, my. You came all this way.

Congratulations.

Please go in.

Where are you going?

To the restroom.

The bride went to the restroom.

She did?

You needed to see me for something?

No. Why would I need you?

Why are you coming out of there?

I thought it was the restroom.

Mom.

Why did you ask for my groom's phone number?

What?

Can't I ask for my son-in-law's phone number?

What would you say to him?

What?

Mom, we're doing this wedding like you wanted,

so leave the bitterness aside.

If you say strange things to him again,

I will be really mad.

Okay?

Maybe one day

you'll know what it's like to raise a daughter like you.

-The ceremony will start soon. -Yes.

That black bag is Se-hee's, right?

Yes, it is. Why?

Your mother asked about it, she had something to give him.

What? My mom?

Yes. She put something in it.

I knew it.

What is this?

We are about to start the wedding ceremony

of the groom, Mr. Nam Se-hee, and the bride, Miss Yoon Ji-ho.

Please be seated now.

Se-hee.

What? Why?

How would I know?

Hey.

Ji-ho.

It's Ji-ho's mom.

I'm not sure yet how I should address you, since I've only seen you a few times.

I'm sorry about the family meeting.

It's like that with the oldest daughter.

At times, she's just like her father.

And at times, she seems

like a friend, too.

She's demoralized by her father,

pushed aside by her brother...

Having been born to a foolish mother,

she's had to suffer many heartaches.

But fortunately, she did not take after me. She's smart.

CERTIFICATE OF MERIT

At least she won't live like her mom.

She is lucky that way.

But in this day and age,

it's so important to be born to good parents.

Otherwise, it's all useless, no matter how smart you are.

Se-hee.

Would it be alright

if I just asked

two things from you?

If Ji-ho

ever wants to write again...

ASSISTANT WRITER YOON JI-HO

...could you let her do it?

ASSISTANT WRITER YOON JI-HO

I'll come and help with whatever house chores you have.

Please...

if she ever wants to write again in the future...

don't let her...

give up...

on her dreams...

like I did.

And also,

my Ji-ho,

once she starts to cry, she can't stop easily.

So...

please don't let her cry alone.

Even if you are the reason for her tears, please stay by her side

no matter what.

The groom has to enter now. What do we do?

Go.

I'll figure it out and go in.

You go first.

Yes. I'll take care of the bride.

You go. The guests are waiting.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Tissues.

Makeup. Tissues.

Stop it already, Ji-ho.

Do you need...

to cry some more?

Then...

I'll wait for you.

It's all right if you cry.

We'll go together.

I'll be by your side.

I'll stay with you.

I had thought it was something simple,

getting married.

One would benefit the other.

And perhaps

even our hearts could meet.

Something not simple at all

has begun.

Our thing?

Yes, it's our thing.

No way. We go as soon as the photo shoot ends. Got it?

-Shorty. -Me?

-Move to the bride's side. -Why would I talk to her? I'm shy.

I really like it when we say "our."

You mean you get excited?

-Our? -Our!

I love you so much,

but I still don't really know what marriage is.

After all, are love and getting married really the same?

She's his ideal girl. The system doesn't fail.

She's very pretty.

Ji-ho, you will always choose

the road to your happiness.
