Episode 54

I'll mix it. It'll be easier.

Please.

Here. Eat. I'll help you.

I'm being pampered.

You were lucky it's just a fracture. What if it had broken?

How could you be so careless?

It takes a long time for fractures to heal at our age.

Here.

Eat. Why are you looking at me?

Because I'm so moved.

I wasn't treated like this even on our honeymoon.

I hope it doesn't heal soon.

Jeez, you...

Eat.

Here.

It's ok.

Shall we go somewhere with a view and have tea?

What's with you?

So pretty. When did you come here?

Honey.

Let Tae-Il move out.

Let him live his life as he will. Let's take our hands off.

Honey...

Hear me out.

I don't need to. So that's why you're acting so nice.

That's not it. Why did you get injured?

You tripped because you were preoccupied with Tae-Il.

I hate it, too.

But they have a baby and want to get back together. How can we stop them?

The baby didn't do anything wrong.

It's not that we need to consent.

Just let them live their lives. Stop caring what they do.

Let's not waste our lives because of them.

That's giving consent.

Aren't you mad? Don't you hate him when he ignores you?

Ignore him, too. As much as he ignores you.

Stop such nonsense.

Honey. They're grownups. Let's forget them and live our lives.

What life? This is my life!

You have your life as a doctor, but my life is my children.

You're a father and a doctor...

....but I lived as a daughter before I became a mother of 3. That's my life.

I know. And you were a good mother..

They grew up well.

That's why they want to get back. To give their kids a good family.

That's how you taught him.

I can't. I won't.

Honey.

Hee-Kyung.

Let them go, please? Let them be.

I'll be good to you. Really.

I'm fine. Don't look at me like that.

Say what you want.

I have no choice.

She is who she is. We can't change that.

It was our family doctor. The cramp got better and she's sleeping with an IV.

Don't worry.

I regret telling you about the poison.

I can't undo it, but don't mind it.

And I'm sorry I was mad without telling you why.

You saw the ugliest of me when I was sick.

It's not necessarily bad.

Things always happen, so that leaves us no time to get bored.

Do as you please. I'll follow you. Marrying soon is fine, too.

Don't go back home if you don't want to.

I realized you were always on my side, but I wasn't on yours.

All I had to do was listen and agree, but I was judgmental.

I'm sorry.

That's what I wanted to hear. I feel better.

There's one thing mom doesn't know. She thinks only she got hurt.

She doesn't know how much I love and respect her.

Goodness... how could she use poison no matter how she hates Geum?

Without his effort when Geum was sick, I would've ended this relationship.

No matter how good he was, I would've done it already.

I'm back.

- Yeah, go sleep. - Good night.

Let's sleep. I'll turn off the lights.

Hwang is doing better and Ki went back to hospital.

I thought all our problems were gone.

Don't worry. Let's let them marry.

Are you sure?

His mother's irrationality leaves us no choice.

Let's talk with them and if they still want to, let them.

It hasn't been long since Geum almost died. We can't pain her.

Let her live happily with Kyung-Woo.

I get so mad.

Geum is perfect. Let her find someone like Geum if she can.

After how I raised him...

I ran out of lotion.

I'll buy more.

We should go back to our home.

We should. So that Man-Sook can't use us as an excuse to mooch off Mi-Ja.

You look sad though. You don't want to?

No. After living with family, it would be lonely by ourselves.

It would. But we gotta take care of the green house.

You don't even let me go to the poem class.

I didn't mean I want to, so stop glaring at me.

I gave up on it.

But we can't stay forever at our son in-law's.

Yeah. That leech sister in-law will leave only when we go.

It will be easier for Mi-Ja without us.

We gotta prepare to move.

- Let's eat. - Yeah, sure.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Sit closer.

- You aren't going out today, are you? - No.

Then watch the bone soup. I will till I leave.

Ok. Is it for your mother in-law?

She's in a cast.

Goodness. Is it serious?

It's not, but she should be in a cast for two months.

- What happened? - She fell on the stairs.

Anyways, let's eat.

- Yeah, let's. - Thank you for the meal.

Ki didn't come home?

No. He will, tonight. He's busy.

He works too hard.

Nothing is easy.

Tell Kyung-Woo to come here tonight.

Ok. I'll call him.

Okay.

Father, mother. We decided to marry them soon.

Good. No need to drag it out.

What do you think about next month?

You need to ask? Look at her face.

Yeah. From her expression, she'd marry tomorrow.

It's not that. Not that hastily.

You mean it?

Yes. I wanna prepare well.

You mean you wanna take whatever you can?

Yes.

Geum, that's greedy.

You agree, right?

Yes.

Honey.

Not that. Try this. A bright one for spring.

And... Do as you please.

Let Tae-Il leave.

Let's do that. Tell him at breakfast.

Ok. Thank you.

Tell him to leave soon.

Have breakfast.

Mom, are you doing ok with your arm? Doesn't it hurt?

It's worse since it's your right arm. I'll wash your hair.

Can she take a shower?

Not for a while.

That's terrible.

It's ok. Be quiet.

Tae-Il.

Yes, father.

Move out and live as you please.

Whatever you do with Hwang, we won't oppose.

Father.

We're not gonna interfere with your life. We'll just assume you're not our son.

So don't ask us to forgive or consent.

Stop coming here and live your life well with your family.

Father.

This is all we can do. Like I said, don't ask us to forgive or consent.

Parents are human too. I can concede this much, but no more.

Understood?

Good. I'm done. Let's eat.

What do you wanna eat?

I can just use a fork. Hurry. You might be late.

All done. How are you feeling?

Fine. Thank you. Give my regards to Dr. Han.

Ok. I'll leave the prescription here.

I was dying with a stomach cramp and he didn't even call me.

Bastard, jerk.

Just like his father. He's becoming more like him.

Are you busy? Can you talk?

How's your mother?

That's a relief.

Do you have time this evening? Father wants to see you.

He told us to get married next month.

Hello?

Yeah. I was a little surprised.

I guess we have no choice then.

Kyung-Woo. If you want to postpone...

No. it's ok. Let's do it.

Of course I'll come. But no earlier than 9.

Bye.

Doctor, this is Kyung-Woo. How is mother?

She's fine. The nurse took her off the IV. Are you out of town?

Yes.

You don't come even if I'm dying?

I see you can walk around.

How could you not even call me when your mother was so sick?

How could you act just like your father?

Isn't that what you hate most?

You ingrate. Will you come if I die?

You won't die.

You're too strong to die from a stomach cramp.

How could you say that to me?

Isn't appearance the most important to you?

Everyone is looking.

Did you think I was joking when I said I won't see you again?

You know I mean what I say.

Are you sure you won't regret?

How about you? You won't regret forcing me to choose between you and her?

So you're gonna do as you please.

Yes.

Yes, this is Kyung-Woo.

How are you?

Talk casually to me, mother.

Thank you for saying that and calling me mother.

You're mother to me. I heard you met Geum.

Yes. Thanks to you. If you hadn't looked for me, this wouldn't have happened.

Thank you.

I wanted to know if there was anything I could help with for your wedding.

When is it?

Nothing has been decided.

Why not?

Is your family against it because of her illness?

Yes. My mother is.

Does she know she's adopted?

Yes.

Hi. You have a guest.

What brings you here?

I heard you were sick.

She brought abalone porridge.

You shouldn't have.

- Sit. Want a drink? - I'm ok.

- Leave us please. - Ok.

How did you find out I was sick?

I overheard it when Kyung-Woo was talking to you on the phone.

Did you threaten to take rat poison?

How did you... Did he tell you that?

What were you thinking? How can a mother do that to her kid?

I heard that's why he left home.

Why did you come today?

For the last time. To let you know.

Kyung-Woo told us he'd get married in a month. My husband will allow them.

He's coming tonight.

What? You promised not to give your consent without mine!

I never promised.

Mi-Ja!

We'll give our blessings tonight and start preparing tomorrow.

They'll be married a month later.

Stop this nonsense!

You can't win against your son. He's stronger than you.

No parents can win against their kid.

If I were you, I'd reconsider.

If you can't stop the wedding, what's the best outcome?

You're practical, aren't you?

I'm not trying to offend you.

You can't stop the wedding, and you may lose him. You gotta think wisely.

Please go.

After this. Sit.

I still think my infertility is partially your fault.

I felt shocked and betrayed because I liked and trusted you.

Afterwards, I adopted Geum.

If I had been fertile, I wouldn't have met her.

And coincidentally your son and my daughter fell in love.

Don't you think they're meant to be? If they are, we should accept it.

I stopped by the hospital on the way here.

They had someone who got pregnant after a transplant.

So it's not completely impossible.

She really is a nice girl.

Can't you accept her?

Go.

How did you...

I didn't mean anything. I just wanted to say hi to Kyung-Woo's mother.

How...

I don't get it. What gives you the right to do that?

How... How dare you come here? Did Geum tell you to?

No. Absolutely not.

Then how did you come? Go. Please.

You have no right to come here. Don't come again, ok?

I'm sorry.

Hello.

It's been a while. Have you been well?

More or less.

Please order. What do you want?

Green tea please.

Same here.

I heard your wife hurt her arm.

It's not serious.

What's the matter?

I wanted to see you. I heard you're against their reunion.

I understand. As a parent, I can sympathize.

Just...

I guess you haven't heard. We told him to move out.

To get back with her.

But we don't want to forgive them.

We have 2 other kids, so we'll just ignore his place as our son.

I know how you feel as a parent, but this is the most we can do.

I'm sorry, but I have to go. I have a meeting.

That's not consent.

No, it's not.

So they're severing ties, huh?

Yeah.

That's scarier than a no.

What do you think?

I don't know. How about you?

How would I know when you don't?

Honey.

Hello?

Yes, this is Ki's house. Who is this?

This is the theatre. Is he home?

No. What's the matter? I'm his father.

He passed the audition and should let us know if he's gonna join.

Audition? Did he take one?

Yes. Please tell him to let us know as soon as possible.

Alright.

I'm back.

Mom!

Are you alone?

Yes.

I stayed up 48 hours. I'll sleep.

You gotta let us know by the weekend.

Did you take an audition? Tell me!

I did. How did you know?

The theatre called.

What happened? Didn't you tell me you'd focus on your job?

Wait. Are you still...

No, I came from the hospital.

Don't worry. It didn't mean anything.

Why did you take it then? You complained you lack sleep.

I just did! I can't even do that? I'm not gonna retry.

I didn't mean anything. I just wanted to clear my head.

I abruptly quit because of Geum...

...so I wanted to check how good I was for the last time.

Really? Nothing else?

No.

Good. Call them to say that you can't join them. They're waiting for your decision.

Ok.

Did you take an audition? Why?

Did you leave something?

How did you come in?

I met Tae-Young at the front. How are you feeling?

I made some bone soup.

Didn't you hear from Tae-Il?

I did.

Then why did you come? What for?

Take it and leave. Go.

I'm tired of yelling at you. I have no energy left now.

Go.

Where's the soap?

Where is it?

Mother!

Mother! Are you ok?

Don't touch me!

Mother.

It's ok. Don't touch me.

You can't get up by yourself. I'll help you.

Go away! Didn't you hear me?

Mother.

Don't touch me. I don't need your help.

Tae-Young. Tae-Young!

She isn't here.

Tae-Young!

She isn't here. Why are you so stubborn? There's no one else.

I don't need you! Didn't you hear me? Who asked for your help?

I don't need you. I'd rather die than get your help.

I'd rather die.

Come on. You can't get up. Come on.

Let go! Let go!

Do you really want to see me die? Do you know why I got injured?

You're making me an ugly and mean mother in-law!

I don't wanna see you. I won't oppose. Why do you still torture me?

I hate you. I really do.

Alright, mother. I'm sorry. I will stop.

I won't get back together with Tae-Il. I swear I won't.

So let me help you. I'll take you to the sofa and call father.

Then I'll leave for good. Give me just 5 minutes.

Sit.

Father, this is Hwang.

Mother slipped in the bathroom and sprained her ankle.

Yes.

Ok.

He'll come soon.

Do you need anything?

I'll go.

I'm really sorry for hurting you.

Take care, mother.

You can't stop the wedding, and you may lose him. You gotta think wisely.

What about you? You won't regret forcing me to choose between you and her?

I meant it when I said I wouldn't see you.

You're not gonna regret it?

What brings you here? I thought you'd never come.

What is it?

I have something to tell you.

Sit then.

Tell me what it is.

I'm marrying next month.

You came to tell me that?

Father will give us his blessing tonight.

So I came here for one last time.

Can you really not consent?

How long do you think you'll be happy? Your father and I were once in love, too.

You spoke well. You two had a kid but you still parted.

People part even with kids.

You can't accept her?

Ok. Bye.

Don't you dare!

Tell me why I should agree.

Not that you love her. Just one good trait she has.

You can't.

Because I love...

Not that.

...and respect you.

Because I love you the most. I wanna marry with your blessing.

You think you know me, but you don't.

I hate to hear that I'm like father as much as you do.

It's partly because I hate people who're irresponsible and insincere.

But more importantly, he badly hurt my mom who I love the most.

I never met him because I couldn't forgive him for hurting you.

I respect and love you. That's why I want your consent and want you to accept her.

Mom.

You really can't?

Really?

Alright.

On one condition.

You have to live here.

Mom.

You consent?

Answer first!

Of course!

Mom.

Keep your mouth shut. You look ridiculous.

- Mom. Mom! - Let go!

- Mom. - Let go. I'm dizzy!

- What's wrong with you? - Mom, I love you!

Let go!

Mom. I'll be real good. Thanks! Thanks, mom!

I'm getting married!

Bastard...

You said you'd come at 9. Where are we going?

Oh, my! Kyung-Woo.

Mom gave in!

- Really? - Yeah. I came as soon as I could!

But we have to live with her. Is it ok?

- Kyung-woo. - What?

Kyung-Woo!

What?

Are we really getting married?

Yes, we are!
