(Previously) Yunae was raising Nayeon, a daughter

she had with Gyeongwan, and she found out

Gyeongwan wasn't Sejin's biological father.

She was arguing with Yugyeong about it

and died in an accident.

Nayeon was holding one of Yugyeong's earrings,

which was left behind at the scene of the accident.

Gyeongwan brought Nayeon

to live with him and Yugyeong,

but Yugyeong and Sejin hated her.

One day Yugyeong found out

that Nayeon was Yunae's daughter,

and she was shocked.

Without knowing Nayeon was his daughter,

Gyeongwan left her at an orphanage.

Nayeon was reunited with Taejun.

They spent the next 15 years together,

their childhood love growing,

and they promised to get married.

Sejin became known as an adulterous divorcee,

and she ran into Taejun and dreamed of a new life.

In accordance with Gyeongwan's plans,

she went to study in America with Taejun.

Welcome, Kang Taejun.

Five years later,

Nayeon was raising Saebyeol,

the daughter she had with Taejun.

She was excited about finally seeing Taejun,

who was flying back to Korea the next day.

(Episode 11)

Saebyeol!

Mom!

Saebyeol.

Were you a good girl today?

Yes.

I'm sorry for coming late.

It's okay. I was reading a book.

You were?

I'm sorry.

I had to take care of something.

It's okay.

Saebyeol's dad is coming back from America tomorrow?

Saebyeol talked about it so much.

Yes, he is.

Saebyeol's dad is coming back to Korea tomorrow.

'Three bears live in a house'

'Daddy Bear, Mommy Bear, Baby Bear'

'Daddy Bear is fat'

'Mommy Bear is also fat'

'Baby Bear is so cute'

'Shoulders up, shoulders up, great job'

Saebyeol, you're an amazing singer.

What can't you do, Saebyeol?

I'll sing this song for dad when he comes tomorrow.

Really?

That will make him very happy.

But is my dad fat

like Daddy Bear?

No.

Your dad is really slim,

and he's this tall,

and he's handsome and kind.

Anyway, he's really cool.

But all my friends' dads

are fat, like the bear.

But your dad isn't like that.

He's a really handsome gentleman.

Gentleman? Wow!

Wow! My dad's coming home tomorrow!

Saebyeol!

Hi, Eunbong.

My dad is really coming home tomorrow.

Grandma, you know, don't you?

Saebyeol, you must be so happy.

You said that so many times.

Saebyeol, I haven't seen you for a few days,

and you've become Miss Piggy!

I'm not Miss Piggy.

Really?

Are you Mrs. Piggy, then?

I'm not Mrs. Piggy!

Hey, of all the pretty nicknames,

why would you call her a pig?

You know how she says the opposite thing.

If she likes something, she says she hates it.

I wasn't saying the opposite.

What? Pigs are chubby and cute.

Don't you think so, Saebyeol?

No. I hate you, aunt.

- Ta-da! Still? / - Wow! It's Lala!

Just like that? Here.

Do I have to?

Saebyeol, don't do it if you don't want to.

I'll buy you the exact same one.

No! You can't use your money.

I don't like the smell of your makeup.

Here.

Miss Piggy, you're playing hard to get, aren't you?

Saebyeol, did you forget?

You have to thank your aunt.

No!

Relatives aren't like immediate family.

Being good to your niece is a total waste.

That's because

you're not considerate of her feelings.

You should've just given it to her.

Why did you make your darling little niece

feel anxious?

I was just playing with her because she's so cute.

You're exaggerating.

You think I don't know how weird you are?

That's why you still haven't gotten married.

You're 33 and you're an old maid.

Why would you bring up marriage right now?

Haven't you noticed how much the world changed?

Being 33 isn't considered old anymore.

Ask anyone on the street

if a 33-year-old isn't an old maid.

Look at how she dresses herself.

You can't tell if she's a woman or a man.

Who would want to marry her?

Mom!

Mom, stop. She hasn't visited in a long time.

I'm leaving.

This is why I moved out.

I was afraid your nagging would drive me crazy.

Mom, don't be like this.

You said you were happy she was visiting.

That temper of hers...

Who's going to marry her?

Here.

Eunbong.

Eunbong!

Eunbong!

Eunbong, Eunbong!

Take this with you.

Your favorite beef in soy sauce and glass noodles.

Mom made them just for you.

You're glowing.

Are you that happy about Taejun coming home?

Of course!

It's been five years.

I really don't like this about you.

What?

Must you ask?

It's been four years since Saebyeol was born,

so how could you not tell Taejun about her?

What if he met another woman in America?

You love him to death,

but you're not worried?

Why would I be?

It'll be his loss if he doesn't come back to me.

Wow!

Talk about unfounded confidence!

I don't know why Taejun's mother

told you to keep Saebyeol a secret from Taejun,

but you're an idiot for doing what she said.

I felt the same way at first.

I couldn't understand

why she made me keep Saebyeol a secret.

But after having her and watching her grow up,

I couldn't do it.

I couldn't tell him about Saebyeol.

That makes no sense!

Why? Why not?

I'm sure studying in America was hard for him,

but had I told him I was raising Saebyeol alone,

he would've quit his program

and come back to me.

And when Saebyeol is all grown up,

if she finds out

her dad gave up his studies for her,

she wouldn't be happy.

Let's say it's understandable.

But to me, it's not common sense

to keep a father from knowing

about the existence of his own daughter.

I feel the same way.

But I hate the idea of Saebyeol

becoming a burden to anyone,

however small that burden is.

Not even for Taejun.

Whatever.

I have a lot on my plate,

so how can I interfere with your life?

I'm going.

You should go to your room. The magazine came out.

Really? The magazine came out already?

I took your photo out, like you asked.

But the photo of your food is huge.

Good.

I'd be embarrassed if my photo was in it.

I'm not a celebrity.

Oh, and thank Jungdae for me

for taking such nice photos.

It's just a small article in the career section,

so don't expect too much.

Thanks, Eunbong!

Take care!

Jungdae, I'm home.

Hi.

Here. The magazine came out.

Nayeon told me to thank you.

Sure.

Did you bring fermented soybean stew?

Fermented soybean stew?

She said it was glass noodles and beef in soy sauce.

It's your feet!

Really?

They do smell a bit.

It's because I ran around all day.

Oh, my. What's wrong with him?

You're a beast!

How many times have I told you?

My aunt sent me this sofa from France!

It's a handcrafted sofa!

Okay, sit down on the sofa.

Please treat all the furniture and decor

in my apartment with care!

Okay, I got it.

I'll be careful. Okay?

Take them.

Tenant Lee Eunbong pays rent and living expenses,

and landlord Lee Jungdae

handles cooking, laundry, and cleaning.

Each one's private life must be respected.

Treat furniture and decor with care.

If you fall behind in making payments,

you will be evicted.

This is clearly no better than living at home.

I like the low rent,

but he's no better than Ms. Yang Malsuk.

Seriously!

Get lost before I eat you up.

Mom!

Mom, that mannequin can talk.

That's nonsense.

Stop watching so many cartoons.

I knew it.

You're home?

I didn't want to wake mom, so I left the door open.

Did you lock it on your way in?

Don't worry. I made sure that

no one can get in.

Did you eat? Should I make you something?

Never talk about eating in front of me.

I started a diet.

You have no weight to lose.

I have to get skinny if I want work.

They said I'm too chubby.

Who told you that?

What kind of job do you have?

It's nothing weird, is it?

Don't worry. It's nothing weird.

Why don't you look for a regular job?

Who wants to hire a third-rate college graduate?

I don't want to work on a contract,

locked up in prison all day

with a mean boss, paid a pittance

that can't even buy me a pretty purse

unless I work overtime.

It's better for my mental health to have

a part-time job with flexible hours.

Whatever.

Nayeon.

Wear this tomorrow.

What's this?

It's a skirt.

Wait, isn't this too short?

Stop complaining and just wear it.

It wasn't a year or even two.

You haven't seen him in five years.

And Taejun is coming from America,

the global center of fashion.

You were going to show up

wearing those ugly things?

You think so? Will this be okay?

Saebyeol is sound asleep.

How adorable.

I can't help but think that

Saebyeol looks more like me

than you or Taejun.

Oh.

The magazine came out today?

The age of home-cooked meals.

Here is a special feast for you.

The world of a catering service manager.

How incredible!

Kang Taejun.

I know you have a very sexy back,

but please don't do this to me.

I'm exhausted, but I want to keep hugging you.

Why do you keep stealing my lines?

It's not like that's never happened before.

Let's have a glass of wine.

Would you like white wine instead?

No, white wine is too light.

If I want to feel the way you do right now,

I have to drink red wine and calm down.

You can see how I feel?

Yes, I can see it very well.

But I'll be understanding.

Let me ask you a favor.

Brace yourself.

Don't scare me too much.

I might want to run away.

Try if you want.

I'll follow you to the ends of the earth

and bring you back.

I'd be too scared to run.

We're going into a war zone.

We're surrounded by enemies.

It's four against one now.

Aside from my dad, nobody is on our side.

My mom will be the toughest one.

You know she loves me too much, don't you?

That's going to make things harder for you.

So let's brace ourselves.

I'm the only one who has to brace himself.

From this moment on, just keep your eyes closed,

and don't see anything or hear anything.

Just stick close to me like this, okay?

This is why I can't get over you.

If my mom finds out we're back in Korea,

she's going to flip out.

She kept nagging me to come back to Korea,

saying my grandfather isn't doing well,

but here we are, vacationing at a hotel.

Should we go to the hospital now?

Don't worry.

My mom hasn't called,

so that must mean my grandfather is fine.

He must be perfectly healthy.

Are you sure about that?

We only came back a few days early.

I'm having a great time.

We never had any time to ourselves in Korea.

Kang Taejun.

Are you sure you won't be swayed?

Of course.

I'll take care of everything, so don't worry.

That's how you can help me.

Really?

Then I'll help you.

From tonight on, I know nothing.

I'll only think positive thoughts.

Yes, just think positive thoughts.

I heard the chairman fell ill again.

But he always recovers,

so don't worry too much about him.

I would've said the same thing.

- Excuse me? / - If it weren't my parents,

I would've consoled someone in the same way.

Did I misspeak?

No, it wasn't that bad.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about that, and make me look good.

My daughter's coming home after five years,

and I don't want to hear her say that I've aged.

Oh, Sejin is coming back to Korea?

That girl is so cold.

She never came to visit me.

When I told her I would come and visit her,

she wouldn't let me,

saying she had exams and reports.

But she's finally coming home.

Congratulations.

Do your best.

Even if I'm not a celebrity on the red carpet.

You know I come to you when I'm not happy.

Of course.

I'll do my best to make you feel better.

(The Age of Home-Cooked Meals)

What a convenient world we live in.

You can order food for parties

to suit your taste.

It looks pretty good.

Should I order food for Sejin's welcome party?

That's enough. Stop.

This isn't enough. We're just getting started.

I just need foundation, not full makeup.

You don't trust me?

Just you wait. I'll make sure that

Taejun goes crazy when he sees you.

I'll be late. Let's stop.

Be quiet.

Airport fashion isn't the only trend.

I'll show you what

airport makeup is all about.

I'm getting a call.

Here.

Hello?

I'm calling after seeing the article.

The catering service?

You are?

Hello.

My daughter's coming home after five years abroad,

and I thought about going to a hotel restaurant,

but it might be more meaningful

if I threw her a dinner party at home.

Thank you.

If I might ask you, how old is your daughter?

We provide customized service.

When we work on the menu,

we will consider your daughter's age.

She's 32.

She likes seafood better than meat.

Can I order hotel restaurant-quality Korean food?

She's arriving today, so how about tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow won't be possible.

The day after tomorrow would work.

Yes, thank you.

So I'll put you down for dinner two days from now.

I'll call you that morning.

Yes. Thank you for calling.

I will do my best.

(Catering Service Manager Lee Nayeon)

Of all names...

Then again, it's a pretty common name.

Hi, it's me.

What? My father woke up?

Okay. I'll be right there.

Ta-da!

What? I look like I'm in a Goth rock band!

Too heavy on the eyes?

I'm going to be late for work.

Nayeon, sorry. I have to go.

You can't leave me like this!

You look pretty.

Man! When I don't even have time...

My father sure is tenacious.

I was worried he was going to die,

but he's out of the ICU?

That's enough.

He's on the brink.

He's hanging on thanks to Ms. Yun.

After she married my father,

she enjoyed all the luxury she could,

so this is the least she could do.

Going to the temple, giving money,

and bowing a few times isn't all that special.

Look at Hwigyeong.

He's so cold, just like his mom.

His father is almost dead,

but he won't come home.

He's on his way.

He'll arrive today.

Wait, what time is Sejin arriving?

She'll be here this afternoon.

How mean of her.

She wouldn't even let me come to the airport.

What if she comes back with some blond guy?

She better not. Not after what I did for her.

How could she never visit during those five years?

Thanks to that, she got her MBA.

Wasn't that what you wanted?

But still!

She better not cause trouble. Or I'll kill her.

(Yugyeong)

Why did it take you so long to answer my call?

Aren't you worried about my father in the hospital?

What if this call was to tell you he passed away!

Did he pass away?

Did he?

He woke up!

Come right now! Hurry!

Why are you crying?

I'm sorry.

Huibin...

Peekaboo.

Would you like some help?

It's okay.

Call me if you need anything.

Thank you.

Peekaboo.

Peekaboo. Stop crying.

Mom, I'll be back!

Hurry up, or you'll be late.

Won't you be cold?

Mom, don't I look weird?

This skirt is too short, right?

You look pretty. Very pretty.

Hey, what if Taejun doesn't recognize you?

I hope he doesn't.

Hurry up. You have to get Saebyeol.

Oh, right. Saebyeol.

- Mom, I'll see you later. / - Okay. Be careful!

I'm sorry.

Saebyeol got a stomachache and threw up.

She has a slight fever.

Saebyeol, are you okay? Does your tummy hurt?

Do you want to see a doctor?

My teacher gave me medicine.

I'm okay now.

Saebyeol, I was going to take you to see your dad,

but I don't think I can.

No! I'm coming!

I'm sorry, Saebyeol.

You'll get sicker if you go out in the cold.

Then you'd have to get a shot at the hospital.

Is that okay?

I don't like shots.

So I'll go alone today.

I'm sorry.

Can you look after Saebyeol for a while?

I'll call her grandmother

and ask her to come and get her.

If she can't come, I'll drop Saebyeol off.

So don't worry about a thing.

Mom, hurry back!

(Nayeon)

Why does she keep calling me?

Should I answer or not?

Is it better to answer and tell her?

I'm sure she got all dressed up and left,

so why ruin it for her?

No.

Maybe it's better to answer and tell her.

Why should I give her the bad news?

Whatever!

She won't pick up.

I wanted to ask her to get Saebyeol.

Oh, dear. Geumbong isn't picking up, either.

Oh, dear...

He must be out the gate already!

Really, Gyeongwan?

Father is really okay?

That's great news.

Yes, I just got through customs.

I'll be right over.

No, I'll come to the hospital right away.

Bye.

There's your mom.

I'm sorry for taking up your time.

- Are you feeling better? / - Yes.

I think the sandwich I had on the plane

didn't agree with me.

Thank you.

It's okay. You should take some medicine.

I will.

Huibin, don't get sick, and grow up healthy.

Say hi the next time you see me.

Thank you.

- Take care. / - Thank you.

Oh, dear. He must be out already.

Oh...

I'm sorry.

Excuse me! Wait!

Excuse me!

Excuse me! Stop! Excuse me!

Why can't she hear me?

Hey, excuse me!

What...

Your skirt...

My skirt?

In the back.

Oh, no! Oh, dear...

Why didn't you stop when I called you?

Why would you let everyone see you like that?

Thank you.

What will I do...

What am I supposed to do here?

Why now, of all times?

Just a second.

What are you doing?

Stay still.

Before I change my mind, since it's cold out.

I'm fine.

How's that?

You can throw it out or whatever.

Wait!

Give me your number. I'll wash it and give it back.

It's okay.

It wasn't expensive, so don't worry about it.

Thank you.

Oh!

- Hanguk Hospital, please. / - Yes, sir.

(Nayeon)

(OB/GYN)

Ms. Jang Sejin's guardian, please come in.

There are no more flights arriving

from Boston today.

Father, I'm Yugyeong.

Your daughter.

Where's Hwigyeong?

Get me Hwigyeong!

This is Kang Taejun. We're getting married.

What was Sejin talking about?

Did you know about that?

You didn't take

Saebyeol out?

Where did you lose Saebyeol?

Why are you blaming me?

Saebyeol!

I don't want to say goodbye. You know, don't you?

Why didn't you tell her?

I told you not to let Nayeon go to the airport.

Maybe you shouldn't have cheated on her.

Who cheated on who?
