Let's eat.

Episode 55 Hey, kids.

Bring the rice juice. Your mom is so choked up she can't even speak.

Alright.

Here it comes.

Here it is, mother.

Did your mom really give her blessing?

Yes. I'm sorry for worrying you.

No. That's enough.

Yeah. We don't know the details, but all's well that ends well.

Now I can really congratulate you. Congrats.

Me too. Congrats.

Thank you, Hyo-Eun. Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks.

You don't congratulate us? You're my brother in-law now, so I'll talk casually.

Congrats.

Congrats. But if you're not nice to her...

Ki.

Wow.

Congratulations. So you're really getting married?

Yes, grandpa. I am!

Hey. Women need to be reserved.

No, grandma. I like expressive women like her.

Jeez. He's more hopeless than Geum.

Yeah, they're neck and neck.

- Father. - Just stay seated.

Has it been 8 months?

Yes. About 60 days left.

Not long. A little after Geum's wedding.

Yes.

You must be happy that Geum got approval.

Not necessarily.

Given what Kyung-Woo's mother did, I still don't want to let her.

But I stay quiet because I don't want to cause her any pain.

I see. That's wise.

You know Geum. She'll be accepted and loved eventually.

I met your father in-law today.

He said that he wouldn't oppose but wouldn't consent either.

That they would disown him.

You heard?

So what are you gonna do?

Father.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna quit.

I was gonna give up on my pride...

...if that could make Tae-Il, Hyo-Eun and the unborn baby happy.

But I can't any more. I can't tear Tae-Il apart from his parents.

We did enough wrong to them.

My priority is getting a job, not reconciling.

I want to get my self-esteem back.

I want to get recognized as a designer and become a good mother.

If that's what you think...

Yes, you're right. Your union shouldn't tear his family apart.

You won't be happy that way.

Yes.

I'll respect your decision. Don't apologize.

Did I disappoint you again?

No way. You didn't.

I know how hard you are trying these days.

On the contrary, I'm grateful to see you chin up.

It's only an act.

That's still something. Not everyone can do that.

I trust you.

- Kyung-Woo is leaving. Ki is, too. - Oh, okay.

You went through a lot. Have a good sleep tonight.

Father. I'll go with him and thank the director.

Now? It's too late.

- She's right. - I'll be back.

He came here, so I wanna go thank her, too.

OK, then.

Ok. I'll be back soon.

Ok. Go.

- Good night. - Bye.

Did you call the theater?

- Not yet. - Why not?

'Cause it's too late. I will. I said I would.

Yeah, he promised. He will.

Go.

Call tomorrow, ok?

Ok. Bye.

Bye. Don't skip meals.

- You don't have to come. - Still.

You should look ahead.

I really changed since I met you.

I'm going to see mom even though I wanna do something else.

What do you wanna do?

Take you away somewhere.

Same here.

Yeah? I'll turn around then.

No!

I really want to stay with you tonight.

Jeez.

Hand.

Thank you.

For what?

Everything.

You weren't sleeping?

So you know it's late? What are you doing here?

I wanted to thank you. For consenting to our wedding, mother.

You're so brazen. How can you call me mother?

Should I not?

You know I didn't agree whole-heartedly. I'll be watching you, so go home.

Yes, mother.

- Oh, my! - Mother. Thank you.

What's with you?

I'll be really good. Thank you so much.

What's with you? Stop it.

So disrespectful...

- Open the door. - Ok.

Oh my!

We gotta drink today. Just a couple of glasses.

Sure. I felt like drinking, too.

Take it.

- I'll pour. - It's ok.

Here.

Congrats for getting a second son in-law.

You too.

Eat.

Are you ok?

What can I do? I gave up on stopping them when she was sick.

I'm fine. As long as she's happily married.

What can we do? I'm proud of you.

But I was sad when she said she'd go thank Kyung-Ja.

After what Kyung-Ja did to us. She has no pride.

- I didn't know you felt the same. - You did, too?

But I'm glad Geum doesn't hold grudges.

Me too. She always let bygones be bygones.

But Ki is different. Don't hurt his pride. He'll call.

He made up his mind and is working hard.

I don't understand why he took the audition.

Alright.

Why did you go to Hwang's room?

Why?

This is a good day. Let's talk about that tomorrow.

What is it? She won't reconcile?

No. Her in-laws are stubborn. They said they'd disown Tae-Il.

I accepted it. So you do the same.

If they're meant to be, they'll reunite.

This is Ki Lee.

That patient? I took him off of it.

Really? I'll be there.

- Don't tie so tight. - Ok. Stay still.

Done.

Oh, come on in.

You didn't have to. Eat with your father.

You'll be too hungry if you wait for the maid.

If you don't move for a week, it will heal.

Don't move except when you go to the bathroom.

Alright.

Tae-Il didn't say anything?

Not yet.

Hwang swore she'd quit, right? Then she will.

No way! It'll take 6 months to grow hair.

But this is a wedding. You didn't like the wig.

No. It looks good now.

It doesn't matter. I can't wait any longer.

- You shouldn't torture me any longer. - What?

You look better than you did with a pony tail.

What?

Because I just remembered last time.

Are you gonna get disgusted looking at me in a wedding dress again?

You hold long grudges, huh? It was so long ago.

Not that long. Less than a year.

I thought only I held grudges.

You don't know, huh? Women forgive, but never forget.

Remembering that makes me mad. Maybe I should postpone.

Why are you overreacting?

Let's go in. I'll carry your bag.

Wait up!

Mister, look at her.

How is it?

She's so beautiful. So pretty.

You don't like it?

I do.

Too short. Next.

Cute.

Look here, please.

Welcome.

Thanks for the invite. I bought some meat.

Thank you. Let's eat first.

- Miss. - Yes.

Come in.

Now that we're in-laws, let's forgive and forget.

Even though it's easier said than done.

You got nothing to forgive though. As for me, I already forgot.

You sound bitter though. Why do you think only you have to forget?

I gave up my precious son.

You sound resentful.

Let's stop.

Let's.

For the sake of the kids.

What shall do with the meat?

It's fresh, so don't freeze it. It's Korean beef.

Not all Korean beef is the same. Is it free range?

- I don't know that. - It wasn't written there?

I may have missed it, but it's good. It's expensive.

Yeah? Put it in the fridge then.

Ok.

Eat.

Thank you.

Don't you have to get a house for them? Then I can furnish it.

You didn't hear? They're gonna live here.

- Water please. - Sure.

What do you mean? They're living here?

She didn't tell you? She already agreed.

- We need cushions. - No. Clocks first.

- Pretty. - Cute.

- Let's use it in the mornings. - Okay.

Kyung-Woo. Slippers for couples. Pretty.

Put them in. Let's buy everything.

Ta-da.

I don't like the color. Jeez. I like it bright. Try it.

- It's good. - It isn't.

I'll buy it in silk.

That looks good. Buy one.

You don't like it? Then don't.

Wait. It's not that.

I don't know the size.

Mine?

You should've told me.

- Mom. - Where are you?

Come home now.

- Hello. - Hey, Ms. Lee. What's up?

This is the analysis on recent educational publications for children.

Especially on those utilizing characters.

This is a lot of material. You must've worked hard.

I'm really interested in children's publications.

So you want my recommendation again?

Alright. I will do it.

- Thank you. - Don't expect too much.

I know.

- Hyo-Eun! - Dad!

Dad!

Let me see how you've grown.

I showed you before.

I was too busy then.

Wow, you're all grown up. Let's go and have lunch with mom.

Really?

- Hey. - Mom!

You didn't tell me she was here. So that's why you came here.

Let's order first. We're both starving.

Mom, I'm about to pass out.

Ok. Excuse me.

She left the notebook again. So I'm gonna call her tonight.

You did? You're all grown up to take care of your friend.

Dad. When are we gonna live together?

Umm... Soon. I'm not busy anymore. I'll talk with mom...

Tae-Il. Let's talk first.

- Hyo-Eun, you want more? - No, I'm full.

Dad, can I go out and play?

Sure.

Did something happen? You look down.

How is mother's ankle?

How did you know?

I was there. I was bringing bone soup.

I see. Mom didn't tell me. It should be fine after a week.

That's a relief. She was already in a cast. I was worried it might be serious.

- Why? - Tae-Il.

Let's quit.

What's wrong?

Are you sure you can do well without your parents?

What about going to the Singapore branch?

There's a position open so we can go now. For 2 years.

That's running away, like we did 7 years ago.

I know.

Let's quit.

We can't.

I'll tell you everything.

She couldn't move in the bathroom, but she wouldn't let me help her.

There was no one else at home.

But she yelled at me and wouldn't let me touch her.

She said she hated me with a passion and cried.

I cried too.

And told her that I wouldn't reconcile.

I told her I'd leave for good after I took her to the sofa.

Only then would she let me help her.

How can we reconcile in this situation? Let's stop.

Stop torturing her and let's yield.

We lied to them for 7 years. Let's yield for them.

What about our kids?

I'll raise them well.

No way!

Ok. Let's wait. Let's change the plan and wait no matter how long it takes.

Let's quit. Are you gonna tell her that?

She'll only get mad.

I don't want to torment her any more.

I don't want any more pain either.

I'm sorry. Let's quit.

Hey.

Ki. What are you doing? It's still broad daylight.

Have you been drinking since you called me?

Yeah. So frustrating.

What should I do?

Just tell them you want to do musicals.

How can I? I'm his pride and joy.

So are you gonna waste your life without focusing on anything?

Whatever you choose, I don't want you to regret.

I don't want you to regret not asking your father one last time.

Why did you decide without consulting me?

It was like this last time, so I thought you'd know.

Is it the same? I didn't know it was Kyung-Ja back then.

Do you know what it's like to live with a mother in-law?

I don't. I haven't done yet.

You little... Do you think I'm joking?

Mom. She's lonely.

What?

Her only wish is to live happily with her son and grandchildren.

How lonely must she be?

It's just the two of them. How can we leave her alone?

She already sounds like her daughter in-law.

Absolutely not! Nobody lives with her daughter in-law these days.

No! Call him now!

He's filming.

I'll live with her.

Ki!

Oh the smell! Where did you drink?

I'm fine. Father!

Father!

Why did you drink so much?

Father. I have something to tell you.

You're drunk. Tell me when you're sober.

- Take him in. - Yes.

Father. Just a moment.

What's with you?

Father, mother.

I want to continue musicals.

I didn't mean to restart when I took the audition.

And? Passing the audition changed your mind?

Yes. The passion that I suppressed resurfaced.

After I heard the news, I couldn't even sleep from the excitement.

You didn't call the theater then?

I didn't.

I'm automatically out unless I call them tomorrow.

So I'm asking you for the last time.

Father. I really wanna do musicals.

Can't you allow me? I can't give up.

I desperately want it!

Didn't you say that you wouldn't worry us and focus on the hospital?

I did.

Then? Your promise didn't mean anything?

Father.

No. Stop babbling and go sleep.

Father. Just give me one more year.

- No. - Father.

I mean it.

Geum. Take him in.

Ki, get up. Let's go.

She took him in.

Bastard. He can't keep his word.

He probably couldn't bear it any more.

What do you mean?

Just defending him.

Don't butt in. This will pass.

I didn't say anything.

Didn't you say that you wouldn't worry us and focus on the hospital?

Father.

I really wanna do musicals. Can't you allow me? I can't give up.

I desperately want it!

Goodness. Already?

Leaving already?

Drink this.

- Are you ok? - I'm Okay.

Why didn't you wake me up?

You didn't tell me to. Are you late?

Do you remember last night?

I wasn't drunk.

Don't look at me like that. I agree with father.

Whatever. It's over already. It's too late. Bye.

Bye.

He shouldn't be so discouraged. He looks so down.

- Looks good. - Hello.

Good morning.

You look so happy. Is everything going well?

I hired a wedding planner. All I have to do is send invitations.

Where are you going for the honeymoon?

I have a show, so it will be after it's over.

I'll just take a short trip.

Did Geum's mother tell you anything about moving in?

No.

I said no.

You can't survive in her house. You won't be able to live long.

I'm not afraid of her.

You're so clueless. That's why I oppose more.

Why live with that witch during your honeymoon period?

Mom. How can you call her a witch?

Goodness. You're taking her side.

Who are you?

I'm Geum's birth mother. Is her mother in?

Go ahead.

I never properly thanked you.

I'm really thankful that you raised her so well.

I don't know how to pay you back.

It might sound like an excuse, but I never forgot her for the last 30 years.

I thought she was with her remarried father.

I learned of the adoption after I had my own family.

So I dared come here. I want to be the mother I couldn't be.

I've lived with guilt and I can't any more. Please let me.

I told my husband. He accepted it, and I'll tell the kids, too.

I don't want much.

Just seeing her occasionally...

...having her meet my family and cooking for her and Kyung-Woo.

Who said I'd want that? Did I say I wanna meet your family?

What's with you? Did I ask you to be my mother?

I told you I don't want that.

I told you I don't wanna see you even occasionally.

Please go. Don't come here.

Please go!

You were mean to her because of me, right?

No.

Honestly I don't want you to meet her. I think I'm jealous.

But without her, I wouldn't have met you.

Mom.

I wanted nothing else when you were sick.

Since you got better, I've become so greedy and petty.

I hate myself.

No, mom.

Be honest. You're glad you met her, right?

No!

Come on. You two look so much alike.

No. I took after you, no one else.

Meet her. I'm really fine.

It's not that.

I know how you feel. You don't have to explain.

I'm really fine. You brought me so much joy and happiness.

Mom.

If you resent her, let it go.

She told her husband for you. That's not easy.

What mother could live well after leaving her child?

It must be true that she never forgot about you.

Help yourself. You must always be hungry.

You always wanted meat when you had Hyo-Eun.

Do you remember?

Of course.

I thought I was cool back then. I thought I could keep my promise.

I promised to love and protect you and Hyo-Eun forever.

I'm sorry. Sincerely.

It's all my fault. My affair started everything.

Tae-Il.

Let's quit. I'll do as you want.

I put you through a lot.

I'll let you be at ease. Do as you please.

Just wait for me till my parents forgive.

We deceived them for 7 years, so another 7 years might do.

Good to hear that.

But I'm a poor divorcee with 2 kids. Are you sure you can wait that long?

Someone asked me what being 40 means.

Being 40 means you can resist any temptation thrown at you.

I'll be 40 soon.

It's a sad thing to hear, but it's funny.

It is.

I sincerely thank you.

You're still the same nice guy.

Let's eat.

I'm back.

Is your ankle healed?

Yeah.

Father. Mother. We decided not to reconcile.

Just letting you know. I'll go up.

I was frankly surprised that you told your husband.

The first time I saw you, you were begging in front of the gate.

It's...

It must've been difficult. Thank you.

Don't tell your kids.

Just let me meet them later.

Mom allowed me to see you. Today, too.

I don't believe you had no choice. You loved me just that much.

But I think you were in pain. I felt better hearing that you never forgot about me.

Then are you gonna meet me occasionally?

Geum...

Kyung-Woo and mom told me I look like you.

My late father looked different, so I always wondered about my birth mother.

But when I first saw you, we looked so alike.

I was relieved. I liked it, too.

But... give me some more time.

Yeah. That's enough for me. Thank you.

Please eat.

Eat.

Did it go well?

- Yeah. - Had a good meal?

Yeah.

Good.

Why are you standing like that?

Mom.

I love you, mom.

I thought of only one thing on the way back. That I missed you.

Mom.

It's suffocating! I was cleaning.

Mom.

- Pretty, huh? - So pretty.

Perfect for newlyweds.

- Do you have something else? - Over there.

What's with you?

Why did you do that?

So it's the Kyung-Ja Yoo?

Yeah, mom.

Will you make me some earl grey?

Sure.

What's that, mother?

You don't know about tea?

You don't mean this, do you?

Geum.
