He's my eldest son, and he's my second son.

What do you think about him?

Excuse me?

You said you don't have a boyfriend, right?

Why don't you two go out on a date?

Haewon is seeing Dongseok!

What?

They almost got married.

I was here to see her first.

Right?

Father!

Where are your manners?

You can't take her like that.

I said I came to see her first!

Episode 28

You really aren't coming in?

You really hate him that much?

Just send Haewon out.

How can I? That's up to her.

When did she become friends with him?

Did you get back with Haewon?

Nice, nice.

You can really hold your alcohol.

I like that, too.

Dongseok and I broke up.

Couples break up and get back together.

One more.

Why did you two break up?

Did you dump him?

Yes.

Just who do you think you are dumping him?

I know.

Who am I to dump your son?

Is your family powerful?

No.

Do you have a better

educational background than him?

No.

Do you have a better job than my Dongseok?

No.

Then what was it?

Was it because he has a father like me?

No.

What does your father do?

He passed away.

What did he do before he passed away?

He ran a company.

That's why! You dumped him

because I'm not good enough!

That's not why!

I'm sure that was it!

Dongseok doesn't have a single downfall!

His only downfall is that he has me as a dad,

a good-for-nothing womanizer.

I said it wasn't like that!

You're so mean!

You shouldn't live that way!

Mr. Kang!

Dongseok says he doesn't want fried food.

Doesn't want fried food my butt!

He just doesn't want to eat with me!

It's not that.

What did I do that was so wrong?

Did I betray my country? Did I kill someone?

Why is he doing this to me?

You! And Dongseok!

What did Haewon do?

She dumped Dongseok because of me.

You did?

That's not true!

Then you can get back together with him.

If that's not why, take him back!

What are you going to do with Taeseop?

You're letting him stay in our room?

You tell him.

You're the one who let him in our room.

I was totally against it,

but he and Dongtak just let him in.

The room's really cramped and hot,

and the weather's going to get hotter.

Look! You're removing the beans, too!

Oh, it's hot. Why is it so hot?

Soshim, maybe we should get the fans out.

Why are you staring?

Her face isn't easy to forget...

So why couldn't he remember her?

Especially when she had a son with him.

Oh, it's hot! So hot.

I know!

Did you get work done on your face?

Just what are you trying to say?

What are you implying?

What do you think?

Did you really have Kang Taeseop's son or

did you deceived them

with someone else's son?

That's what they're saying.

Donghui, how can you say such a thing?

I'm right, aren't I, uncles?

No way! That's not what

you meant either, right?

Of course not! I didn't mean it like that.

You didn't even give him

a paternity test, did you?

How could you just take me in?

When I saw you, I knew you were family.

That was why I took you in.

Outside that.

I knew you were mine.

What more do you need?

To be honest, I can't fully trust her.

I keep feeling suspicious about it all,

wondering if I'm really Mr. Kang Taeseop's son.

You are, Donghui. I wouldn't deceive like that.

Am I really his youngest son?

You are! Why would I lie about that?

I swear it!

That's enough.

Don't be mean to your mom.

Your father's the bad guy here!

You're mom's innocent so stop doing that!

Mom? She's not my mom!

I said you're the only mom I have!

Why is everything in my life such a mess?

Did you really have suspicions about me?

Because your brother didn't recognize me?

- Uh, no. - No!

I can't believe you feel that way.

After what your brother did to me!

After what he did, you suspect me?

Blood is thicker than water, is it?

He is your brother, after all, huh?

How could you say such harsh...

You're taking things out on us, right?

You were suspicious of her, too!

- Oh, Soshim! - Soshim!

She's been with us for 8 years.

You should know she wouldn't deceive us.

And can't you tell Donghui is one of us?

It was weird Taeseop didn't recognize her so...

That's because your brother's a crazy bastard!

Yeongchun!

The man who's supposed to be your brother,

he's a stranger to me.

You let him in the house, you deal with him.

But if he steps into the main house,

I will kill both of you! Got it?

Soshim!

When did she become so cruel?

She has every right to be like that.

If I were her, Kang Taeseop would be dead.

What are you doing?

I know it's time for me to leave,

but I'm not leaving, Soshim. I can't.

I can live without Donghui

but I can't live without you.

This is your fault.

You should've kicked me out from the start.

So it's your fault. It's your fault.

I know... It's not like I'm Buddha.

Why did I think I'd be able to take you in?

I'm full of regrets now.

Soshim...

Okay. Don't leave.

I don't think I can live without you.

So don't go anywhere.

Dongseok.

Fine. Keep hating me.

You couldn't hate me forever.

Go inside. Haewon had a lot to drink, too.

Oh, and you're dating Haewon again.

So that's that.

It's true.

He kept insisting on it, and she said yes.

And he made her drink too much!

Go inside.

- Let's go. - Okay, father.

You don't hate me?

I do.

Then why are you so good to me?

Because you seem to be regretting it.

What?

I can see it in your eyes,

that you regret some things.

Regret my butt.

I never regret anything in life.

Donghui.

Huh?

You're the boy Yeongchun gave birth to?

It's not certain yet.

What?

What are you talking about?

Mister!

Mister?

What kind of life have you been living?

How can you bring trouble for so many people?

What?

Who do you think you are?

How dare you!

Oh, calm down, father!

Donghui!

I'm not really interested in

how you lived or will live your life.

But if you make Ms. Jang Soshim, my mom,

cry, I'll make you pay for it.

You, come here, you!

Come here, you!

Oh, father! Let's just go home.

Where the heck did you come from?

How can he say such a thing!

Oh, father, let's go home.

The person you have called is unavailable...

Seojeong, pick up the phone.

The kids want to meet you.

Once is all they need...

You! How could you call yourself a mom?

You think all it takes is giving birth?

Why did you have them in the first place?

Father, this way.

I have a room! I have a wife!

Why would I sleep in that smelly room?

Oh, father.

Soshim!

Soshim!

Soshim!

Soshim!

Soshim!

What do we do, Soshim?

I think he's drunk.

Soshim!

Hold on, father.

Let go of me!

It's not time yet.

I have something to say to your mom!

Tell her tomorrow when you're sober!

I can't! I have to tell her now.

What must you tell me right now?

Soshim.

You're not going to hit me with that, are you?

Why haven't you gotten yourself together yet?

Why are you getting all drunk?

You're still here?

Soshim, why didn't you kick her out?

You think I come and go as you please?

Soshim told me to stay! So?

- Hey! You! - Father, father!

What do you need to tell me?

I'll tell you in our room.

Tell me from there.

I'll tell you when we're in our room!

Then don't.

There's nothing I want to hear from you,

so don't say anything.

I...

I'm terminally ill, Soshim.

Father.

Taeseop!

See, Soshim? I told you he'd say that.

You said that before verbatim!

Hey! Ha Yeongchun!

What? You lied to us, Taeseop?

Oh, you scared me!

Father, of all the lies you can tell!

Why didn't you return in an urn?

An urn?

Then I wouldn't be mean to you

and would've buried you in a nice, sunny spot.

Soshim, how could you say that?

How can you say that your own husband?

Mr. Kang Taeseop! Look here!

You put an end to our relationship that day.

Your kids are tied to you by blood.

So I can't help that.

Soshim!

Father.

Return in an urn? You really told him!

I think Mr. Kang Taeseop's in shock.

But what happened that day, Soshim?

What is it? Did something happen?

Soshim told Taeseop to return in an urn.

Oh, man!

Why did she get so scary?

What happened while I was gone?

What happened was that you were gone.

Soshim took care of our sick father,

raised her kids and us!

I thought she'd at least slap you.

That Soshim is a real saint!

You! Why don't you get lost!

This is my room! You get lost!

How dare you!

Oh, Taeseop!

Anyway,

what was Soshim talking about, "that day"?

It's nothing.

Kang Donghui! Why are you sleeping here?

I don't want to go home tonight.

But you can't sleep out here.

I feel comfortable here.

You're right. I feel comfortable here, too.

I heard you broke up with Haewon.

What happened?

I don't know.

Talk about a sight for sore eyes.

So handsome, so handsome.

Stop gawking at them!

But they're right here in plain sight!

Why are they sleeping out here?

Mr. Kang! Donghui!

Don't!

Don't wake them up. Leave them be.

It's not like I'm wearing them out.

You are wearing them out so don't look.

Donghui!

Oh, my!

Oh, darn!

Why did you sleep out here, Mr. Kang?

Must you ask?

He didn't want to go home to his father.

You can use my bench anytime you want.

You didn't come home because of your father?

Kang Donghui, get up.

Breakfast is almost ready.

Come and eat, Donghui.

Forget it. I'm not eating at home.

Why not?

Is it because of your father?

No, it's because of you.

Hey! Kang Donghui!

What are you doing? Eat!

Soshim, can I get something to eat, too?

What are you doing?

Soshim told you to eat. Let's eat.

Shik! Ho!

I left you food in our room!

Soup, make me some soup!

Ho made you bean sprout soup.

That's good enough!

Soshim, make me dried pollack soup.

I want to have dried pollack soup you made.

Mom, should I make some?

It's okay. Dongok, eat your breakfast.

Soshim, soup!

Mom, are you going to leave him there?

Tell father to come in, mom.

Dongok, your grandfather must be done.

Take him some warm rice tea.

What about father?

Your mom will take care of him,

so take this to your grandfather. Hurry.

Soshim, dried pollack soup!

Is that a dog barking?

No, it's my father.

Oh, yes, you're right.

Father!

Your eldest son is starving to death.

You're no son of mine!

I only have a daughter and the twins!

I can't believe you said that, father!

I'm going to excuse myself.

Me too. Thank you for breakfast.

Let's go. Soshim won't change her mind!

No!

I'm going to get my soup.

Man! Why are you embarrassing yourself?

Ho made you breakfast!

I can eat my wife's cooking,

so why would I eat what he made?

This is madness!

Soshim isn't your wife anymore!

How is she not my wife?

I still have the marriage certificate!

Did you say marriage certificate?

Soshim says you're strangers to us.

If we let you in, she'll kill us!

What did I do that was so wrong?

Did I betray my country? Did I kill someone?

Why are you treating me like this?

Didn't kill anyone? He nearly did.

After Kang Taeseop left me,

I was going to drink poison and kill myself.

Really? You were going to drink poison?

I bought a bottle of pesticide,

but I found out I was pregnant with Donghui,

so I got a refund and bought diapers instead.

Donghui saved my life.

- Mom. - Soshim!

Dried pollack soup!

Nobody here is on your side right now.

Let's just go.

Soshim.

Get out of my sight!

Before I sweep you out with this! Get out!

Soshim, you're treating me like trash?

You're worse than trash!

Soshim.

Let's go.

We should go.

Oh, let's just go.

Soshim!

See? Ho cooked you a feast.

I'll go and reheat the bean sprout soup.

Forget it. I'm not eating.

Taeseop!

Even if Soshim treats you like trash,

you're in no position to complain.

What did you say?

Where were you when she needed you?

You were busy romancing other women.

You came back only because

you're old, weak, and lonely.

You stop right there.

Right. That's enough.

I'm sure he feels remorse.

How dare you!

I'm going out for breakfast.

You! Why couldn't you let him eat?

How could he be eating at a time like this?

Hey, mister! Can we talk?

Huh? What are you doing?

You look like you'd be a womanizer.

What did you just say?

Why did you abandon your wife,

your sick father, and your kids? Why?

And why did you come back to that house?

Oh, mister! I'm not done!

I only talk to beautiful women!

What the heck!

I won 18th place at the Miss Cucumber pageant!

The competition was extremely fierce!

When I put on a skirt, men went crazy!

How dare you talk to me...

Hold on, Mrs. Cucumber, hold on.

Oh, let go of me.

How dare you touch me!

Oh, come on!

Hey! Kang Taeseop!

I'm not Kang Taeseop.

Kang Taeseop!

Kang Taeseop! Kang Taeseop!

Mr. Prosecutor! My son! Where have you been?

My youngest son is here, too!

What are you doing?

You said it.

What are you on?

What?

You're a prosecutor, Dongseok?

Do you know him?

They're my sons.

I don't know him at all.

Why that little!

Fine! I don't need you.

He's my real son.

He's the Prosecutor of Gyeongju.

Oh, really?

Is he telling the truth?

Must I answer?

Uh, hey, Dongseok!

Look here, mister!

You're a pathological liar!

Just come with us.

We're not going home empty-handed!

- Grab him! - You bastards!

You'll regret it when I'm dead!

You want your father to die?

What? You're going to help?

Fine. Your his son so go help him.

I'm not sure if I'm really his son, so I'm leaving.

I'm glad I raised a son. I really am.

Did you see how they reacted toward you

after you said you're the prosecutor?

I heard it through the grapevine

that you were the smartest kid in Gyeongju.

That's because you take after me. I'm smart.

You owe it all to me, your father!

I'm serious. Your mom is illiterate.

How can you be so shameless?

What?

How can you be this shameless?

I'm not the one who borrowed that money.

She stabbed me in the back.

How much will it take?

For what?

You came back because you're penniless.

How much will it take for you to leave?

You bastard! What do you take me for?

Tell me how much you need.

I'll get a loan if I have to.

Stop tormenting my family and my mother

and leave us, please.

Why are you treating me like this?

Did I betray my country? Did I kill someone?

There are much worse people,

and they all live like kings!

My darling daughter-in-law.

Mr. Kang!

It's really nice to see you again.

How's your stomach?

It's okay.

How am I your daughter-in-law?

Did you forget it already?

You said you'd be my daughter-in-law.

- I did? - Yes!

I said, "You're my daughter-in-law now,"

and you smiled and said, "Okay, father."

I don't remember.

It's okay. I remember.

You said you'll be my daughter-in-law.

Have things been that bad?

Yes,

it's been so tough I can't express it in words.

Then get him back!

Nobody can live your life for you.

Should I?

Should I just pretend nothing's wrong

and get him back?

Get Dongseok back and be my daughter-in-law!

Should I?

I should, who cares?

I love how easygoing you are!

We should go home, father!

I can see you remember now. Right?

I do remember, but let's pretend it never...

We can't do that.

What have I to gain from that?

Then I'll consider your debt paid in full.

The love of your life's only worth $832?

Your love for Dongseok is only worth $832?

Come home with me as my daughter-in-law.

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

Let's help each other out.

- Help each other out? - Yes.

My situation at home is really bad.

But Dongtak told me that everyone,

from my father to my wife

and the rest of the family love you so much.

So?

What do you mean, "So?"

I'm in a shroud of darkness,

so I want you to be my guiding light.

There's no need to think about it.

Come over to my house tonight.

So I said,

"You're my father, aren't you?" And he said,

"If you're Dongok, I am your father."

And?

But then, my father cried.

He did?

He said he was really sorry.

That's why he couldn't return.

But I forgave him.

Did something happen between you two?

I'm not sure about that.

But when I smiled, my father smiled, too.

But doctor... I mean...

Wujin, why did you ask to see me?

Because I missed you. I mean...

Because I wanted to show you something.

It's this.

Oh!

Those are the clothes I made!

Right.

People will buy your clothes from here.

You made this one and this one.

Whoa!

It's amazing! Isn't it?

Yes...

Wujin.

Would you like some tea?

Huh?

You gave me tea just now.

Oh, right.

Ouch, hot! Why is it so hot?

Are you kidding me?

I know!

They advertised saying they were hiring,

but when we get there, they said they're not!

They need people, but

they don't want people like us.

Then why couldn't they just be honest?

And what?

"Hope to work with you in the future"?

That is a load of crap.

Must you talk of crap when I'm eating?

Don't get mad. Eat.

Eat so you'll have the strength to look for work.

How can you be eating noodles right now?

Noodles,

boiled eggs, soda, and gimbap!

Are you on a picnic?

Would you like some, too?

Kang Dongwon!

Did we come here to eat boiled eggs?

What? What is it?

What?

See? Mr. Kang Donghui forgot.

Forgot what?

Give us mom's phone number.

We can't wait for you to call her anymore.

I'll call her, so you just...

You said that this morning, but you didn't.

You were too busy eating to remember, huh?

Give us her phone number

or call her in front of us!

I don't think they'll back down.

Hurry!

I called, but she must be busy.

She didn't pick up.

Call her again.

I can call her, but she won't pick up.

Hi.

Hi, it's me.

I don't want to hear about the kids.

Oh, you're doing well?

Dongwon and Dongju are doing well, too.

What are you talking about?

I only answered to be clear about things.

I'm not going to meet the kids. Never.

Yes, the kids miss you so much, too!

Okay. I'll tell them.

We've done fine without knowing each other.

I want things to remain that way.

Don't ever call me again.

What did mom say? Does she miss us?

Let me talk to her!

Me too!

What? You're in America?

America? Isn't that really far?

America?

Long-distance charges are crazy expensive.

Okay, bye.

Mom's really in America?

You're not lying?

Mom misses you very much, too,

but she can't come because she's in America.

Then we can go to America.

Let's go to America.

The airplane tickets are so expensive,

but your dad's unemployed.

I'll get a job and make lots of money,

and we can all go to America.

I'm sorry, but I can't trust what you say.

Call her again, so I can hear her voice.

She's really busy, so let's call her later.

When? Give me an exact time!

The exact date and time!

Mr. Kang.

Miss Kim!

Uh, is it okay for a teacher to dress up like that?

I don't have a tag that says I'm a teacher.

I don't know what to do with myself.

Oh, okay.

Miss Kim.

Yes?

What should I do?

So the twins think their mom's in America?

Yes.

Why did you lie like that?

They'll be hurt if they find out.

Well,

they want to meet their mom so much,

so I couldn't tell them that their mom didn't.

- Oh! Oh! - No!

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Did you kick this ball?

Why don't you play at the soccer field?

- Thank you. - Go.

Are you okay?

Should I get you something?

I'm okay.

Mr. Kang?

Then I'll take on a mother's role for them.

What do you mean?

I know it can't compare to how you feel,

but I don't want the twins feeling hurt, either.

The phone call Dongwon wants with him mom,

the emails Dongju wants to exchange,

I'll do them.

But you're their teacher.

Could you really deceive them like that?

It's what you'd call "white lies."

Oh, you saved me.

Thank you!

I'll never forget this.

Your mom's in America?

Yes.

Mr. Kang Donghui said he'll call her.

Oh, but I can't speak English!

Why do you need to speak English?

If mom's in America, we should speak English.

Has he always been this stupid?

It wasn't this bad,

but I think he's getting stupider by the day.

I am not!

Mul, what happened to your mom?

She won't answer her phone.

I told my dad I want him to marry my mom.

Huh?

I thought you hated your mom.

I did, but...

She's still my mom.

She is, but she's a weird mom.

But she's better than your mom.

What's wrong with our mom?

She abandoned you when you were babies.

We don't know that yet.

We'll have to check with our mom.

She's never called once,

and she's never even come to see you.

I'm sure she had a good reason!

What kind of reason?

At least my mom calls and buys me clothes

and sends me allowance.

I'm not going to talk to my mom.

Dongwon!

Come to think of it, our mom's weird.

Mul, why would you say that to him?

I'm sure our mom had a good reason!

Right. Compared to their mom, my mom's okay.

Let's go with that, Kang Mul.

Chef, the dinner was really good, right?

Yes.

Is something wrong?

You didn't say much over dinner,

and you haven't smiled as much.

Nothing... Nothing's wrong.

I got my nails done today. What do you think?

Oh! Your hands and nails are all sparkling.

They say hands give your age away.

My hands look old, don't they?

They don't. They look perfect for your age.

You used to grab my hands often before.

Should we go get a beer?

I have a headache, so I can't drink.

Why don't we go home?

Oh, okay, then.

It's not like it's our last date.

I had a good time. Sweet dreams!

I had fun, too.

Goodnight, chef.

Goodnight.

What's wrong with him?

Is he sick?

Excuse me, Ms. Vice Principal?

How are things going with the chef?

We're doing fine. Why do you ask?

Well, last time, it sounded like

you'd be getting married right away.

So I was just wondering.

I didn't mean it literally.

We're still getting to know each other.

You can do that after the wedding.

Why don't you hurry up and get married?

Why are you so concerned about that?

We're both getting married at a late age,

so I feel like your business is my business.

Thank you for your concern.

But we want to take our time.

Oh!

I can't live like this.

Okay.

I need professional help.

I need a psychiatrist.

Paradise Psychiatric Clinic.

Gyeongju Psychological Healing Center.

One Heart...

Misuk?

Oh, hi, Misuk!

Right now?

Oh, okay.

I must be crazy...

Oh, no!

Maybe I need to be hospitalized!

What do you think?

You don't look like yourself.

Then?

You look like Ms. Vice Principal.

That dress, hair style, and hair pin.

You look just like Ms. Vice Principal.

You didn't notice when I cut my hair before.

You didn't notice when I got contact lenses.

So how did you notice

her dress and her hair style?

Well,

that's because I see her every day at school.

Kang Ssangshik.

Do you have a crush on the vice principal?

What?

Hey... How could you...

You were too busy helping her out

to remember about our plans to tell everyone.

You had a big argument with my sister.

You let her song drive you crazy.

You used to be so dense,

but you noticed how I look just like her.

How else could I explain all that?

Misuk.

You won't say you don't have a crush on her.

Pull yourself together!

Pull your self together!

Right. She'll be Ssangshik's wife.

Maybe that's why she looks pretty.

Oh, but why?

Why is my heart racing?

Oh, this is crazy.

What are you doing here alone?

Huh?

Go in and rest.

I'll clean up here. You must be tired.

No! You must be really tired!

You go in and rest.

Have you been eating? You look so thin!

Look who's talking.

You're all skin and bones!

I'll make your favorite, kimchi noodles.

Mul, why are you studying so hard tonight?

Shouldn't you go to sleep?

It's not even 9 o'clock yet.

If you go to see her, I'll get really mad at you.

Dongtak, Mul's a sharp kid.

Mul, can we talk?

I have to do my homework.

The text messages you think Haeju sent,

those were from me.

Did she ask you to say that?

Uh, no! It really was me!

Haeju was asleep... I mean...

She was away when she got your texts,

but I didn't know it was you,

so I got jealous and sent them.

Honest! Believe me!

If you break up with her, I'll believe you.

Wow. He's coming on strong.

You really won't accept Haeju?

You really hate her that much, son?

Yes, I do.

I want to get back with mom.

Okay, then.

I'll go and see Haeju.

I told you not to see her again!

Don't worry.

I'm going...

To break up with her.

I know.

I know what you're going to say,

so let's just drink tonight.

Haeju.

I'm fine. What can we do?

Your son's more important.

Let's have one final toast.

Cheers!

Haewon.

I got curious.

About what?

I was wondering if I walked up to the door,

whether or not I could build up the courage.

Courage to do what?

The courage to say I'll never leave you again.

Even if I'm to go to hell for this,

that I never want to lose you again.

So, do you have the courage to do that?

Soshim might be old, but she's a woman,

so would she want to sleep with you?

- Hey! - Why did I ever fall for you?

Why did you come here? Why?

Where did you spend the night?

You're a bastard!

Die! I should die!

Mom's really sorry.

Mom!

I said I don't want to see the kids!

Let me sleep here tonight, mother.

If I go home, I won't be able to come back.

Why did you abandon me?

And why did you come back?

Tell me.
