Mother.

Yes, hi.

Where did you get hurt?

Here, my ankle.

Is it bad?

No, I twisted it trying to avoid a soccer ball.

You need a doctor. I'll carry you on my back.

No, it's just twisted ankle.

Put one of those patches on it.

Mother...

I have to go to my class.

I'll get acupuncture afterwards.

Today's lesson is very important.

Hurry!

Tell your mother you wanted to stop her.

Tell her you really wanted to stop her,

but since she wanted this, since her happiness

matters most, you decided to help her.

Tell her you are angry at her

because she's only thinking of your father!

Tell her that's making you furious,

and that's why you're acting like a child!

Haewon!

Tell her your heart is broken

and you are screaming inside

because she's being a fool,

only thinking about other people's happiness!

Tell her that's why you're acting this way!

Yes, I lied to you.

I said I was sick of you, but that's not true.

How could a mom be sick of her children?

But I really am tired and exhausted.

Living as someone's mom, someone's wife,

and someone's daughter-in-law...

I really am tired and exhausted of that.

Yes, I understand how you feel. I do.

I know how frustrated you are with me.

I know all that.

But what can I do?

This is who I am.

Like you said, all my life, I've been

putting my family's happiness before mine.

It was as if I didn't really exist.

Good afternoon.

From now on,

I want to focus on myself.

Not as Kang Taeseop's wife,

not as the sister-in-law of

Ssangho and Ssangshik,

not as Dongtak's mom,

not as Dongseok's mom,

not as Haewon's mother-in-law,

but as Jang Soshim.

I want to try that before I die.

So don't get too angry or hurt.

Just bear with me, okay, Dongseok?

Episode 49

Hi, Haewon. Where's my father?

He's with me right now.

What happened?

Your father did something really amazing.

What are you talking about?

I'll tell you all about it at home.

Why are you hiding it? I already saw it!

You did great, helping that poor kid.

But seeing your face is making me mad again!

- Why I should just! - It's okay. Stop!

You can't be more angry than I am!

Let me punch that jerk in the face just once!

I'm too upset to go home.

You'll go to jail if you did that

in front of a police station.

I'll go if I have to!

But your husband is a prosecutor.

Anyway, father, you are amazing.

I'm so proud to have you as my father-in-law.

You can't fool me. Stop lying.

I'm not lying!

Three thugs were picking on a kid,

and you said nobody else would help!

Right! Why are people so selfish and mean!

That poor kid was screaming for help,

but nobody's willing help a stranger!

What is this world coming to?

Did you have lunch?

I was working, and I missed it.

I'll treat you to lunch,

since you did something I'm really proud of.

You will?

Yes!

What happened?

Why? How did you get hurt!

It's nothing. Don't fuss over it.

You were fine when you left,

but you came home on your son's back.

So how could it be nothing, Soshim!

She twisted her ankle trying to avoid a ball.

Hey, you should go home.

Running the household alone must be hard for

Haewon, so you have to help her.

Have you seen a doctor? It's not broken?

No, it was a muscle cramp.

Oh, that's good. I was scared to death.

You wouldn't believe my words,

but you believe Dongseok? Why is that?

No, I would never believe you.

All you say is, "It's nothing" or "It's fine."

If anything ever happened to you, I'd just die.

Oh, why do you have to be so extreme?

Die? Why? Who dies of a twisted ankle!

Anyway,

you and I are one so remember that.

We'll live and die together.

We're not soldiers at war or anything.

Are we fighting a battle? Geez.

I moved out to get away from you

and here you are again.

It was your choice, so it's your fault.

Did you hear that, Soshim?

You should go! Haewon must be waiting.

Okay.

Kang Dongtak, Kang Dongok, Kang Dongseok Kang Donghui, Cha Haeju, Cha Haewon

Kang Dongwon, Kang Dongju, Kang Mul, Kang San

Your mother wrote that.

Stop looking at that. Go home.

Amazing, huh? She's only just begun learning.

Yes.

Oh, boy...

Go home! Haewon must be dying to see you!

She can write, but she can't read yet.

She doesn't know which name is who.

You're such a tattletale.

She wanted to know

what your names look like,

so I wrote them down and she copied them.

She didn't write them. She drew them.

Dongseok, send me

a sewing machine tomorrow.

That hole of hers, I should just...

Oh, my...

Being a student, you should use

beautiful words.

Did you just say you're going to

sew my mouth up?

How scary!

I'm going to tell your teacher about this!

Dongseok, don't forget to send one, okay?

Make sure it's the best one, okay?

Why did you buy so much?

The BBQ meat you bought me was enough.

This will last you a week.

I'm making your favorite fish stew for

breakfast tomorrow, so come and eat.

It's okay. I won't eat your cooking.

You're not interested in moving back home?

Mother's not even home.

No.

Why did you two stop me from leaving?

You embarrassed me at the bus terminal.

They must have thought I was

a wanted criminal.

Why were you trying to leave?

You should've insisted on staying, like before.

Did something happen with Donghui?

No, nothing happened with him.

I don't know what it's about,

but family must see each other often.

Even if it's uncomfortable for you,

we should work out any misunderstanding...

Are you lecturing me again?

No, I'm not...

Do you see Soshim often?

No. I only see her once in a while.

She won't see us very often.

She's amazing, my Soshim.

Had I known, I would've divorced her sooner.

I'm going.

Come over for breakfast tomorrow!

Well? Do you like it?

Totally!

It's so pretty!

Thank you so much, Dongok!

It's not uncomfortable?

Not at all!

Wow, Cha Haeju!

How can a mother of 2 look so beautiful?

All the women in the world

pales in comparison.

Oh, my. Are you crying?

Why are you crying, Dongtak?

Because she's so beautiful.

I'm so beautiful, it brings tears to your eyes?

So much so!

The word beautiful doesn't begin to express it.

Don't be so blunt in front of Dongok.

And you shouldn't cry.

Should I twirl around?

Ta-da!

Dongtak!

Dongtak!

The dress is just so...

So very beautiful, Ok.

Oh, he wasn't referring to me...

You must be a real genius.

I was worried for nothing, all these years.

So why are you crying?

Don't cry, Dongtak.

I'm crying because I'm happy.

I'm crying because I'm so glad.

It's because I'm so proud of my little sister.

Grandpa!

Can you see how amazing Ok is?

I know how you feel but

you're being a bit too dramatic.

This is the perfect moment to be dramatic.

Ok, I can die happy now.

Dr. Wujin!

Yes, I'm heading out now.

Dongtak, I have to go. Goodbye, Haeju.

Bye.

Who's Dr. Wujin?

Who the heck is he?

You have such bad memory.

How many times must I tell you?

Her boyfriend! The doctor at the clinic!

Who cares if he's her boyfriend!

I was having a moment back there,

so how could he call and break that?

I should just tell her to break up with him.

Mmm, delicious!

Mmm!

It's delicious.

Is it that delicious?

Stop staring.

Dongok!

I said, stop staring.

You're scaring me.

I'm scary?

That's good.

Why is that good?

I've been practicing.

Watch.

Stop staring.

Mess with my man and you'll die!

Was that funny?

But you just said I was scary.

You practiced that for the nurse at my clinic?

Yes.

It makes me happy to see you being jealous.

You! Don't be nice to other women,

and focus on your woman, got it?

Where did you learn to say that?

Haewon taught me.

Dongok?

Can you stop being friends with her?

How can you stop being friends with a friend?

You're right.

Tak, aren't you happy?

Dongok is so talented, and her boyfriend

is so handsome. Aren't you very happy?

Why not?

Dongok's too precious and amazing

to let her be with a guy like that.

He doesn't deserve her.

You're not a fool for Ok, you're just a fool.

All men are the same.

He looks like a devious kid.

No!

Kang Donghui!

No, I can't go!

Let's just go, okay?

Oh! Mrs. Park, good evening.

Just look at me!

I can't see your mom looking like this!

She'll say you brought some crazy woman!

She won't say that.

My moms don't judge people

by their appearance.

When I look like this?

Will your mother like me looking like this?

Yes. My mom loves unusual people.

My sisters-in-law are totally unusual.

Why must we go tonight?

We could go tomorrow or the day after.

Who knows what will happen then?

I want to take you to them.

You wanted to meet them, too, didn't you?

Kang Donghui!

But still...

I didn't bring the gifts!

These are enough.

We can take these.

Fine. Let's go.

If they don't like me, it's your fault.

What!

You're really going to go looking this crazy?

Oh, it's too hot! Don't come so close!

But I can sleep better right next to you!

Let's sleep in tomorrow, until 11 o'clock.

No, no. Until noon.

You talk as if you're an earlier riser.

You woke up after 10 this morning.

But I work, Soshim.

I'm different from a student like you.

What?

Are you giving me a hard time

because I'm not working?

When? I did?

I wouldn't dare! Your kids would be mad at me.

Being with you like this is so much fun!

Oh, my, my! You've lost your mind!

Why are you giggling like this?

Mom! Yeongchun! It's me!

Mom! Yeongchun!

Did you hear that?

Did you?

It's me, Donghui.

I brought over your future daughter-in-law.

This is the woman I'm going to marry.

Her name is Kim Mari.

Mom, can you stop being Jang Soshim

for just 10 minutes and be my mom?

Huh?

Oh! Okay.

Hello.

I'm sorry I'm here at such a late hour.

Please let me bow.

Maybe it's because my eyes are bad...

But what you're wearing looks very familiar.

I know.

That outfit looks like what you were

wearing yesterday.

That must be the trend for

younger people these days.

They are yours.

We got them from the clothes line outside.

Huh?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know I was coming here,

and I was wearing sweats.

I'm very sorry.

Don't be! You look good in that outfit!

If you like it, I'll give you that outfit.

It's okay...

Thank you.

Well? You like her, don't you?

Yes.

Soshim, it's been less than 10 minutes.

So how can you tell?

Why do you need more time? I love her.

Oh. But still...

What? Donghui loves her, and that's enough!

Okay. Then that's it.

We'll go, so you two can go back to sleep.

Already?

Oh, you won't even sit down?

I only asked for 10 minutes.

It's been 10 minutes, Madam Jang Soshim.

Dongseok.

Why are you up?

I couldn't sleep.

Would you like some?

No thanks.

Is your mother doing well?

Yeah. She's doing very well.

I'm glad.

Let's go on a trip tomorrow, Haewon.

Huh?

I asked for a vacation.

Let's go on the honeymoon we had to skip.

What?

We need a break.

I put the plane tickets on your vanity set.

We don't have to go on a honeymoon.

We can go when we turn 60.

I already told everyone about it.

But I'm okay.

And there's so much to do around the house.

Everyone needs me here.

You even dreamed about going on a trip.

When did I do that?

You haven't been in my dream!

Let's go to sleep.

By the way, who was it?

Who do you mean?

The man you went on a trip with in your dream.

You said it wasn't me. So who was it?

Why are you talking nonsense?

I'm going to bed. Finish your beer and come.

Hey, Haewon!

We're going on our honeymoon?

Do you see this? Tickets to Jeju-do!

You don't!

Oh! It's because of these.

Look carefully.

Can you see it now?

I'm finally going on my honeymoon!

Oh! I'm going on my honeymoon! Oh, my!

Did you pack everything?

No.

Why not? We have to leave in 30 minutes.

I'll throw some things together.

It's just a trip. Don't make a fuss.

I'm not making a fuss.

Huh?

Asking you to pack is making a fuss?

No, I...

I'll call my office so hurry up and pack.

I already packed everything!

Am I dreaming?

I can't pinch myself, just in case it is a dream!

If this is a dream, I'm going to kill myself.

I forgot my phone.

It's not a dream. So don't kill yourself.

Text message, text message!

Dongwon, what are you and your dad doing?

Did your dad go to work?

I don't want to study,

so I'm pretending to sleep,

and my dad is studying very hard.

Why is your dad studying?

I don't know.

Dongju says he's studying because he feels

he should since even grandma's doing it.

Mul says he's doing it to set a good example.

But still, I don't understand why he's studying.

When is your dad going to work?

Son?

I know you're not sleeping.

You should study. Study, please!

Studying is for your own good.

Grandpa, dad just left, over.

Donghui.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

What's that for?

I borrowed $60. I'm paying back $1 for now.

Let me give this to you first,

and I'll pay the rest back little by little.

Hey, take it.

If you let me see you, I'll pay the rest back.

There's no need.

It's hot, so buy yourself a popsicle.

Donghui...

Hey!

How dare you speak to your father that way!

What do you want from him?

What else could he possibly do?

- Shik! - Let me talk.

I know!

Wasn't kicking him out enough!

What else do you want from him!

Ho!

We didn't kick him out!

We didn't kick him out.

How can you say that!

We didn't kick you out, right, father?

You're right. You didn't kick me out.

I felt really guilty,

and your mom moved me so much

that I left on my own volition.

Just listen to my big brother.

How can you not be moved by that? Huh?

Your father came back a changed man,

so why can't you accept him? You're his sons!

He's the one who brought you into this world!

What did we do?

I called him yesterday

and told him I'd take care of him.

I told him to move in with me.

Right, father?

Yes, you did.

But!

Both Dongtak and Dongseok

made up with him and forgave him,

so why are you still mad at him?

Shik!

How dare you!

What's the problem? Tell me what it is!

You still call him mister, don't you?

Ho!

Why would you kick him on the butt!

You know how insulting that is!

Donghui.

Stop glaring at me.

Tell father you forgive him.

Donghui, be a good boy.

Forget it. You forgive him if you want.

Hey!

Did he commit treason? Did he kill someone?

Don't you know he risked his life

trying to catch that con man,

that bastard Han Bin, for your mom?

If you were a decent person...

Oh, man!

Oh, man?

How dare you say that!

It's not Donghui's fault.

Donghui has every right to be mad at me.

Taeseop!

I'm the one who introduced

Han Bin to Yeongchun.

That's why Donghui can't forgive me.

No way, father...

On top of that, I lost the settlement from

Dongok's accident from long ago.

That was why I couldn't come home for so long.

That's who I am.

I was trying to invest it for Dongok...

Taeseop!

Tell me you're lying.

You're just saying that because

we're being so harsh on Donghui, right?

I'm not lying.

I wish I was, but I'm not lying.

You come over here.

- Hey, hey! - Let go of me! Let go!

How could you take that money!

Calm down. He's still our big brother.

How dare you!

Yes, mom.

Dongseok is taking me on our honeymoon.

Yes! I'm totally excited!

So much that I couldn't sleep last night.

I was afraid if I slept,

it would turn out to be a dream.

Yes.

We'll be late. Call her back on the way.

Okay.

Mom, I'll call you at the airport.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

What's going on, Dongtak?

Dongseok.

Father...

He...

You're going on a trip, right?

Don't mind us and just go.

What is it?

We heard you both knew.

Your father introduced Han to Yeongchun!

Forget it.

You just go on.

Was that why you were trying to kick him out

and take care of Yeongchun?

Letting us get all mad at you?

They're going on a trip. Keep it short.

Don't mind us. Just go.

How did you find out?

Your father told us himself.

He told Donghui a month ago.

So Donghui knew this for a month? So...

That poor boy...

Oh, forget it.

Pretend you didn't hear this

and go on your trip.

And he lost Dongok's settlement money.

And both of you knew about that, too, huh?

Why would you bring that up!

You'll worry them.

Don't mind us and just go.

I'll put your luggage in the car.

Let's go.

Poor Donghui and Dongok!

I'm sorry. Let's go.

Dongtak!

What are you doing here?

Why are you standing here?

When did you get here?

Yeongchun...

You want a drink but you forgot your wallet?

You can just ask me to buy you something.

Why are you acting so distant?

Follow me.

Here's an ice coffee.

Yeongchun.

What is it?

Why didn't you tell us?

Tell you what?

Why didn't you tell us that the person who

introduced the con man to you was my father?

How did you find out?

He told me himself.

Why! Why would he tell you that!

I'm sorry, Yeongchun.

I don't know what to say.

On my father's behalf, I...

Does Donghui know, too?

Donghui can't know!

He'll misunderstand his father and hate him.

Dongtak, please don't tell Donghui.

Please keep it from Donghui, okay?

Donghui found out way before I did.

He won't talk or eat.

He's just working.

Something happened at home, right?

You think my family's always in trouble?

Yes.

Everyone talks about

how you shouldn't have married Dongseok.

Him being a prosecutor isn't great enough to...

It is as great! So?

You didn't go on your trip?

Something came up, so we postponed it.

We're taking an afternoon flight.

What is it?

Well... This and that.

If you came to tell me to forgive him...

Forgive him! How could you forgive him!

You should never forgive him!

If you said you were going to forgive him,

I'd chase you around, trying to stop you.

Donghui?

Can we go back to being friends for a minute?

Why? For what?

Donghui! Who knew you'd finally grow up!

What are you doing!

I had no idea you were such a great guy!

Hey!

The old you would've thrown a hissy-fit,

but you did nothing after discovering the truth.

You still came to work, took care of your kids...

Wait, I'm the one taking care of them.

What the...

What's this about?

I came to praise you about how great you are.

I'm so proud of you! Good boy!

When did you grow up?

Good boy!

Stop that.

What are you doing?

Stop! Your hands will get dirty.

This isn't a job for a prosecutor!

So many people throw cigarette butts

and trash on the streets.

Our society still has a long way to go.

Can't you put all of them in jail?

Have you had lunch yet?

Why do you and Haewon always ask me that?

You're worried I'll starve myself?

So did you?

It's okay.

I don't deserve to eat.

You're not drinking?

I have to go to the airport in a bit.

I bet I disgust you, right?

I said I don't deserve to eat,

but this is my second bowl.

That's not so.

It's just that I don't know what to say.

And since I don't know what to say,

it feels awkward to just sit and do nothing.

Why did you tell them?

Mother, Haewon, and I

tried very hard to bury it all.

If you hadn't told them,

nobody else would've found out.

I don't know.

Why did I tell them that?

I just don't know why.

To be honest, as you know,

I'm not a very moral or conscientious man.

As you know, I'm not the kind of father

who would reveal my faults

to protect my son from my brothers.

I'm not that kind of person.

So who has made me change like this?

Why did I do that?

I'm going to the restroom,

so you think about it and let me know.

You've dealt with many criminals

and people like me who know no shame,

so you should understand me better.

How is your father?

Let's just postpone our trip.

No, we should go.

I'll head out as soon as dad gets back.

Be ready to leave as soon as I get there.

Okay.

The man you came with

just fell in the bathroom.

Let's go

Just us two

Let leave everything behind...

Jeju-do is in Korea?

You're lying.

Why do you think I'm lying?

Uncle Dongseok and Aunt Haewon

are taking a plane.

So?

When you travel by plane,

you're going abroad!

You can go to parts of Korea by plane.

Dongju, has Dongwon always this dumb?

I'm not dumb!

Right, Dongju?

Fine. You're a genius!

Aunt, what will you bring back for us?

Huh?

Dongwon, you shouldn't ask such things!

Just be grateful if you get a gift at all.

You shouldn't ask.

It's okay. He can ask.

See? You don't know anything.

Oh, aunt.

Grandmother's hairtail,

mom's hallabong oranges,

and dad's abalone.

What's that? Items that resemble your family?

They do resemble them!

Especially the hairtail!

My grandmother doesn't look like a hairtail!

These are the things grandmother, mom,

and dad asked aunt to bring from Jeju-do.

What!

No! They do resemble them!

Hairtail, hallabong orange, abalone.

Kang Dongwon.

Hairtail, hallabong orange, abalone.

Dongwon!

You're really asking for it, huh?

That's enough. Stop fighting.

I can't bring you any gifts.

Why not?

I'm not going to Jeju-do.

Why not?

It just wasn't meant to be. Ill-fated, perhaps.

Hi, Dongseok.

Are you bringing your father over?

Where are you right now?

What did the doctor say?

He pulled a muscle in his bad.

He needs rest, so I brought him.

Okay. Good.

Father, are you okay?

Do I look okay to you?

No, you don't.

I can go lie down at my place,

so why did you bring me here?

Wait, weren't you going to Jeju-do today?

Did you miss the flight because of me?

That's not so, father.

We had cancelled it already.

Don't worry about it.

Taeseop got hurt. You're not going to see him?

If you're so worried, you go.

Who says I'm worried!

Just thinking about how he betrayed us

makes my heart pound like crazy!

Wow! Had I known what he did,

I wouldn't have tried to protect him so hard.

You go to check on him.

I deny the existence of that man.

I cursed and beat up Dongseok

because I had no idea.

I feel so guilty for doing that!

Oh! That Kang Taeseop!

What?

I can't just sit here.

What will you do?

I was too shocked to speak earlier,

but I need answers from him.

Don't!

What could you say to a man who's hurt?

But he can't do this to me.

I believed in him, and I accepted him.

He can't insult me like this.

Stay here.

I can't! I can't take this!

Why can't you?

What?

Even Donghui didn't do anything.

The one with the hottest temper bit his tongue,

so why can't you?

Right! Donghui is probably hurting the most.

So don't add fuel to fire.

Fine.

Promise me something.

Let's take what Taeseop to our graves.

Don't tell your wives. It's embarrassing.

I'm never telling my wife. I'm not an idiot.

That's like cutting off my nose to spite my face.

I'm never telling Haeju, either.

Not when she loves him so much.

What are we going to do now?

What are the uncles and Dongtak doing

at your house instead of going to see father?

Something's a bit fishy, isn't it?

It's beyond fishy. I'm so frustrated.

When Taeseop was hospitalized,

he got so mad at Ssangshik for not visiting.

So why is he sitting at home like that?

Haewon didn't get to go on her trip.

I feel so bad for her.

She was so excited about her trip.

I know!

Why would Mr. Kang slip and fall now?

He kept Haewon from going on her trip!

I can't help but hate him.

The honeymoon isn't what's important here.

She can go another time.

Who knows what will happen then!

Aside from Dongseok,

I don't like anything about that family!

Mom...

I can't say what I want in my house!

I'll apologize in her stead.

It's okay. She has every right to be upset.

Anyway, Soshim's gone,

so it'll be hard for Haewon to care for...

So don't eat so much!

Your husband's a chef but

you eat like you've been starved!

Don't you know why I'm eating like this?

I'm eating because you stress me out!

I'm even losing hair!

Don't blame me! You just like to eat a lot!

You've only been eating sour fruits

and even honey rice cakes!

You never even liked them before.

You're pregnant!

I had the same symptoms when I was pregnant.

How about fried chicken topped with ice cream?

That sounds good!

She's not pregnant!

She says she's eating because of stress!

Haewon, are you asleep?

Are you having another dream?

What are you smiling about?

Where are you that you're so happy?

Okay.

You should at least be happy in your dreams.

Be as happy as you can be in a place

where nobody can bother you.

Look after father.

I owe you one, Donghui.

Dad! Dad!

Grandpa wants to poo.

What does that have to do with me?

Hold on.

Dad, dad.

He says it's urgent. He might go in his pants!

It looks like he's going to any second!

He's farting!

Why are you telling me that?

Am I the only one here?

Mom!

Grandma's not here anymore, remember?

Yeah.

Your father once said,

"I did so many bad things to you, Yeongchun,

but I did one thing good.

It was introducing Mr. Han to you."

Your father really believed

Han was a good man.

I can vouch for that.

Your father really wanted me to be happy.

That's why I forgave him, Donghui.

He's clumsy and full of faults,

but he is sincere.

And I believe in his sincerity.

- Soshim. - Yes?

Have some coffee and

a sandwich while you study.

Okay.

You're up?

Good morning.

You're not surprised?

No.

You woke up here, and you're not surprised?

No, I'm not.

Why not?

Because this is a dream.

What?

I know it is.

I'm dreaming right now.

You still think you're dreaming?

It's not a dream.

I drove all night to bring you here.

This isn't a dream?

Good morning.
