Original subtitles

Mother!

Mother, wake up!

Mother, what's wrong?

Mom!

Mother!

What happened?

Sorah, call an ambulance.

Something's wrong with Mother!

Hurry!

What's wrong with her?

Mom...

Oh, my God!

Mom!

Hello?

My address is Seonggok-dong, 569-1.

You have to come now.

My mom's dying!

Mother!

Pardon?

Mother's and Dallae's test results got switched?

It can't be.

Can't you run more tests?

Mother can't be sick.

I guess she still hasn't told her family.

I urged her to be hospitalized to get treatment.

But she refused.

Your family will need to decide whether she has surgery or not.

What happened?

Mom collapsed?

How did that happen?

Mom!

Open your eyes!

Don't do that.

Mother needs rest right now.

What did the doctor say?

He said it's exhaustion, right?

I knew it would happen.

The store opening and the wedding...

I told her she was overdoing it.

Does she think she's Wonder Woman?

What does she have?

She's been having nosebleeds and dizziness.

Father, she's very sick.

She needs surgery.

Surgery?

Why does she need surgery?

What's wrong with my mom?

Is it something serious?

It's not, is it?

Tell me it's not!

The hospital made a mistake.

Your MRI results got switched with Mother's.

Mother is the one with a cerebrovascular disorder.

She already knew.

What?

So Mom was the other patient?

No... it's a lie.

My mom's not sick.

She takes care of herself.

She's healthy.

No... no...

Yeon-woo, call Shin-yong.

We've been waiting for over an hour.

Why can't you tell us where she went?

Is she on an interview?

You see...

She went to Aunt Bok-hee's house.

Yoo-ra wanted to go to her dad's house.

Shin-yong went to drop her off.

Is that why Yoo-ra didn't want to come?

So she still hasn't accepted you?

Then how can you get married?

Yeon-woo, it'll be hard for everyone

if you try to take her dad's place.

Just let her love her dad.

Just stay by her side and be her friend.

Hi, Shin-yong. Where are you?

Everyone's waiting for you.

You can't come?

Did something happen?

What?

Aunt Bok-hee?

Mom!

Honey...

What happened?

What am I doing here?

How can you be so cruel?

Do you even consider me your husband?

How could you keep such a frightening secret?

How could you treat me like such an idiot?

Do you think you're alone?

Why did you come to the hospital alone?

You tough woman!

This is a hospital. Don't yell.

You weren't going to tell us at all?

Were you just going to leave us like it was nothing?

Have you ever thought of us?

We'd be losing a mother and wife.

That's enough.

Let's talk at home.

You're not going home.

You're sick!

You might die!

How can you be so calm?

You stayed up and worried yourself to death when

you thought I was sick.

So why are you acting like this is nothing?

How could you do this to us?

I'm not dying today!

I didn't give up on life.

I still have too much to do.

I didn't want to waste my time in a hospital bed

worrying about when I was going to die.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know it was you.

And I thought I was so lucky.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Don't cry.

I'm a thousand times happier now than when I thought you were sick.

I'd rather die than to see you lying in this hospital bed.

I only want to see you smile now.

We cried and fought too much until now.

I don't want that anymore.

Get surgery.

Dallae had decided to do it when she thought she was sick.

You're strong.

You'll beat this.

No.

It's different from Dallae's case.

I'm older than Dallae.

I have diabetes and high blood pressure.

Surgery is useless.

I don't want to die on an operating table

without having done the things I want to do.

You're not going to die!

We're not going to let you die!

It's not just about you!

I know I'm not a good son, but I can't let you go like this.

You got sick because of me!

This is no one's fault.

It's just my destiny.

Don't blame yourselves.

I don't want to see you suffer because of me.

Honey, tell them to take the IV off.

Sorah must be worried. We should get going.

Oh, yeah...

Is Shin-yong here?

What happened?

Is she conscious?

I left after she woke up.

You must've been so scared.

Are you okay?

I was worried about Aunt Bok-hee too.

But I flew over here because I was more worried about you.

Did this happen because I hated her?

Don't think that.

Why do you blame yourself for everyone's misery?

Look at me.

You're not part of that family anymore.

I'm the most important person in the world to you now.

Don't forget that.

Yeon-woo...

What was the point of hating so much until now?

I hated Mother, Mo-roo, and Hwang Bomi so much.

One of them is sick.

One has hit rock bottom.

And one of them is related to me.

What does that mean?

How is Hwang Bomi related to you?

I just can't figure out what's going on.

This is the first time I've ever seen Mom and Aunt fight.

Even though they're sisters-in-law,

they always ganged up against Dad.

They were the perfect team.

What's going on?

Aunt, tell us the truth.

Did you secretly put up this house as collateral?

Or did you get caught having an affair with a married man?

A married man?

Ever since she was burned by that man,

she thinks men are insects.

Then what is it?

This is so frustrating.

I just can't believe it.

I understand she grew up without parents.

But how could she have turned out like that?

Maybe the man Seo-poong hired got the wrong person.

Do you think Seo-poong would've bought her a house

and made soup for her without checking first?

How could she protect that wench after watching her grab

Shin-yong by the hair?

Imagine how Seo-poong feels.

Don't say that.

I'll leave you if you take Seo-poong's side.

Now that I know Kashi is Hwang Bomi,

Seo-poong is no longer part of this family.

What's going on?

You startled me!

What are you talking about?

Hwang Bomi is Kashi?

That nasty wench is Aunt's daughter?

Is that true?

Then that means Shin-yong and Hwang Bomi are cousins?

Goodness!

This is horrible!

You're right, Soon-ja and Dong-poong.

How can I say anything?

But you could at least try to understand.

I'm Shin-yong's aunt, but I'm also Bomi's mother.

How can you expect me to forget the 9 months

I carried her in my womb?

A man crying?

What the heck are you looking at?

Never seen a drunk man?

What?

Drink quietly.

Don't pick a fight!

This is who I am.

I'm a loser who made my mom suffer while

I went back and forth between two women.

And I was so full of myself thinking I could be a politician.

What the heck are you staring at?

Go ahead and hit me, you jerk!

You jerk!

You hit like a girl.

That won't make me come to my senses.

Just kill me!

I'll teach you a lesson today!

Come here!

Come here!

Please, let my mom live.

Don't take my mom away from me twice.

She raised me for 20 years in pain.

Please let her live a long, long life.

Please?

I kept your mother waiting for a long time.

Make sure you tell her I'm sorry.

Don't worry. I'll tell her.

I feel bad about Aunt Bok-hee, but I don't have to worry, do I?

I won't ever hurt you again.

You better keep that promise.

You didn't have dinner.

Put your hand in my right pocket.

What?

These are walnut cookies.

Don't go to sleep on an empty stomach.

Have a few before you go to bed.

Thanks.

Give her to me. It's late.

I want to live with both of you soon.

I want to fall asleep with both of you next to me.

Why do bad things keep happening?

But you can't have any doubts.

Hold on to my hand and stay with me.

Have a glass of tomato juice before you all go out for the day.

I know I scared everyone yesterday.

So this is a special treat.

Doesn't it look delicious?

Why do you all look like that?

I'm not dead yet!

Are you going to keep reminding me that I'm dying?

Mom, I'll postpone the wedding and stay with you.

I just can't get married when you're sick.

The wedding's next week. Don't even think about it.

You know how much I'm looking forward to your wedding.

I won't give up.

I'm going to fight to stay with you for as long as I can.

So can't you just live your life for my sake?

I can't do it.

What's the point of studying when you're sick?

What's the point of being successful?

Don't act like a child.

I want to see you go to college wearing a pretty outfit.

I want to see Dallae happily married.

And I want to see Mo-roo with his family.

I may see it from heaven or here with these eyes,

but striving for happiness is the best thing you can do for me.

Let's stop crying now.

Just go out there and live your lives.

Mom, I'm sorry.

How did my life end up like this?

I made two women suffer.

I've led a horrible life.

I'll live my life right with my family.

So you have to stick around.

Of course.

Do you think I'll go anywhere before I see you come to your senses?

I'll be waiting.

Just think about how to be a good father.

This is your breakfast.

It's uncomfortable for everyone if you're around.

It'll be better if you eat here.

I took Aunt's breakfast to her room.

Good.

I'm really disappointed in her.

How could she betray her own family?

I agree.

I'm sure she was the one who took that contract during the election.

It would've ruined Hwang Bomi.

That's why Aunt took it.

Goodness!

You're right.

So she helped Hwang Bomi behind our backs.

Soon-ja, Dong-poong, please come outside.

What do you think you're doing?

What's with the bag?

I thought about it all night.

I think I should leave.

It's the best thing for all of us.

You're leaving?

So you want to live with your daughter now that you found her?

Fine.

I won't stop you.

We may have been tight, but my daughter's more important.

If you're going, I'll just forget about you.

Leave now.

Soon-ja...

Don't you know how I feel?

You're like a mother to me.

I can't turn my back on you to be Bomi's mother.

Let's not drag this out.

If you're going to be Bomi's mother,

just let us know when you die.

Go live somewhere far away.

That's the only way we can both live.

You can't go.

You know Mom doesn't mean it.

How will you work things out if you just leave like this?

Are you really going to do this?

Soon-ja took care of you your whole life.

She treated you like a sister.

You're just going to walk away?

Take these clothes too.

You gave them to me for my birthday.

Let's do this right.

I won't ever wear these again anyway.

What about the rings Aunt bought us?

Do we have to give them back?

The price of gold is up.

Shut up.

Staying quiet is the best option in this situation.

I know it's painful for everyone to look at me.

I don't want to cause trouble in the family anymore.

Soon-ja, Dong-poong, be healthy.

Aunt!

You can't leave!

Aunt!

Did you want to see me?

You've been suspended during the audit.

PETITION FOR BANK ACCOUNT TRANSACTION DISCLOSURE

What's going to happen after the audit?

We're considering sending you to a rural branch.

A rural branch?

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

I admit to wrongdoing.

I resign.

I'll give back the $300,000 within the week somehow.

You're quitting?

You won't find another job.

You shouldn't be so rash.

Now that I've quit, we're no longer boss and employee.

Can I call you Hyun-sae now?

Sure.

This is about a close friend of mine.

His younger sister's getting married soon.

But the man she's marrying is hiding a terrible secret.

His sister decided to marry that man because

she thinks he sacrificed himself for her.

But it was all a scam.

You have a lot of experience.

What would you do?

Should he tell his sister and stop the wedding

or should he keep his mouth shut?

He can't decide.

That's why I'm asking you.

I'm sure your friend would want something in exchange

for keeping quiet.

Get me a job at Jaeil Newspaper.

I don't care what position it is.

I'll be an assistant or secretary.

I don't care.

Just as long as I work there.

Where are you taking all this food?

There's a person who hasn't had much to eat for 30 years.

I ate a lot of boiled pork while I was pregnant,

but I never got sick of it.

Is that why you opened a boiled pork restaurant?

It's delicious.

It melts in your mouth.

Bomi, I never made you a meal.

This will be the first and the last meal I ever make for you.

In our next life, let's be parent and child again.

I won't leave you next time.

I'm sorry.

I'm not a beggar.

Did she think I'd be grateful

if she found me a place and gave me food?

How long is she going to sneak around?

I can find her if I want to.

Hello? Is this the police?

I'd like to report a robbery.

I think someone broke into my house.

Can I check the surveillance cameras?

That's...

Do you know her?

Kang Shin-yong's aunt...

She's my mother?

So it was true?

Why... why did it have to be that woman?

This is just too much.

I've never been able to call anyone "Mom."

Everyone has a mother.

Why is it so hard for me?

What did I do that was so wrong?

Why am I being punished like this?

Calm down.

Why is this happening to me?

Hey!

Don't I have the right to be happy?

I finally found my mom in 30 years!

But it's worse than going to hell!

Hwang Bomi!

Where's God?

I want to talk to Him.

Why does He hate me so much?

Why do I have to be so unhappy?

Why?

Calm down.

What's this?

This isn't a child's room.

Pink?

Yeon-suh picked it.

It stands out a bit, but it's nice and bright.

It's a newlyweds' room. Pink is the natural choice.

Mom, you have the taste of a little girl.

But it's too bright.

It's embarrassing.

No need to be embarrassed with family.

I really feel like you're getting married now that

we've redone your room.

Now I can't come in whenever I want to.

Don't say that.

I have no intention of coming between mother and daughter.

Don't feel uncomfortable at all.

Yeon-suh...

I gave this a lot of thought.

What do you think about going to your dad's in the States

and studying there?

The States?

I don't want you to waste your youth taking care of me.

I have Kang-so and Yeon-woo.

So don't worry about me.

Go and study there.

Actually I took a leave of absence from school.

What?

It's too much for Kang-so by himself.

There's the flower shop and housework.

He needs my help.

I can study later.

How are you going to study later?

How do you expect me to live while ruining my children's lives?

Get ready to study abroad.

I won't go.

I finally got my mom back.

I'm not going anywhere.

Don't try so hard.

Those who love you need time with you.

Just as we're getting married to be together.

What are you doing here?

I heard you were in jail.

I was very happy to hear that.

Why did you come to my house?

Why did you leave food at my front door?

What are you talking about?

I never did that.

I saw you on the surveillance camera.

Don't lie.

Surveillance camera?

Tell me.

Why did you come to my house?

You hired someone to follow me.

Did you suddenly feel bad for me?

Bomi...

Don't say my name!

Do you think you're my mother?

How dare you say my name?

As long as you're Kang Shin-yong's aunt,

we're nothing but enemies.

I was always an orphan.

I don't need any parents until the day I die.

I'm sorry.

I never wanted you to find out.

I didn't want to hurt you.

You're mistaken.

I'm not Oh Hae-jin. I'm Hwang Bomi.

I'll always hate Kang Shin-yong for breaking up my family.

And I'll always resent my mom for leaving me.

You left me out in the cold when I begged for your help.

You're no mother.

You left me twice!

Now you want to act like my mother?

No matter how much you deny it, you're my daughter.

No... no!

Shin-yong and Mo-roo know too.

You got out of jail because of Shin-yong.

So don't hurt your family anymore.

Go and beg forgiveness.

Please.

Family?

Don't make me laugh.

I don't have any family.

The director at the orphanage told me

my mom died giving birth to me.

I have no family!

Stop this nonsense.

Just leave me alone!

Police.

There was a robbery at Hwang Bomi's house.

Please come to the station with us.

A robbery?

Bomi...

Make sure you investigate her.

I won't feel safe until I know if she's the one who stole my stuff.

Let's go.

Bomi!

Bomi, don't do this!

Boss!

Bomi!

What's going on?

Thank you for your lecture today.

Our students have great respect for you.

You ran for a seat in the Assembly.

And I heard your column is doing very well.

We applaud all your efforts.

So we have named you one of our greatest alumni.

I haven't done anything great.

Thank you.

We'd like you to be an interpreter for

our international meetings.

So we'd like to offer you a scholarship to study abroad for 3 years.

What do you think?

An interpreter for international meetings?

It's been so crazy I haven't prepared anything for the wedding.

I'm going shopping with the girls.

Hyun-sae said he doesn't need anything.

It's too hard for you to go out.

Still, we should get a new bed and dresser.

It won't be good enough for a mogul,

but I'll feel better if we do our duty.

I can't come over every day after I get married.

I'll worry about you so much.

Why would you come here every day?

I'll be really upset

if your mother-in-law gets angry with you right from the start.

Dad and I will take good care of Mom.

You just worry about being happy and pleasing your in-laws.

Your wedding dress will be done today.

Make your mom happy by getting ready for the wedding.

If she's happy, a miracle might happen.

It'll be dark soon.

It'll take a while to go to all the stores.

Bye, honey.

Yeon-woo, I'm getting married.

I know you can't come, but I want you to be happy for me.

You're happy with Shin-yong, aren't you?

Wish me happiness from wherever you are.

Hi, how was the lecture?

Good.

You were bored all day, weren't you?

How did you know?

I didn't want to go on my interviews or

write my stories because you weren't here.

I just stared out the window and twirled my pen.

I knew it.

You can't do anything without me anymore.

Now I can't go anywhere because I'd worry about you.

Do you have somewhere to go?

A lot of places want me.

But I'm not going.

What if some woman steals you from me while I'm gone?

Do I look like that kind of man?

I haven't looked at another woman since we've met.

Did another company try to scout you?

Take it if it's a good opportunity.

Don't worry about me.

I'm ready to help you reach your potential.

It could be that our families are meeting today,

but I'm trembling here.

Do you want a cold drink?

Long time no see, Yeon-woo.

What are you doing here?

I started as a contract employee today.

What?

My main job is to assist the reporters.

I'll get coffee or do whatever they want.

I know you're not going to welcome me here.

But it's enough that I'm in the same office with you.

Why are you doing this?

Wasn't what you put me through enough?

What are you trying to do now?

It's my mom's last wish to see me with my family.

My mom's sick because of me.

I know I'm a pig, but I can't ignore her wish.

No matter how many times you push me away,

I'll come back and beg forgiveness.

I threw my pride in the trash.

I feel bad for Mother,

but it doesn't change anything between us.

Our families are meeting today.

We're going to set the wedding date.

What?

Your families are meeting?

Forget about me.

I love Yeon-woo.

Yeon-woo and I will take good care of Yoo-ra.

What can he do for you?

You'll have to take care of a sick mother-in-law and Yoo-ra.

Do you think you'll be able to work?

That's my business.

I don't care what you do here.

But don't expect me to change my mind.

Will you do this too?

Sure.

I said I didn't need anything.

Why did you go shopping?

I bought a new bed for us and a basic dowry for your parents.

I told you I'd take care of it with the best.

Did you forget that I said you're too good for me?

I have a favor to ask.

Will you come with me to visit my parents once a week?

That'll be difficult.

My father won't approve of a daughter-in-law

who visits her family too often.

You didn't meet her.

But I already fed her and played cards with her.

Why do we need to meet again?

His mother wants to meet us while she has her faculties.

My daughter's starting a new life.

What's more important than that?

I'm thinking only of Shin-yong's happiness from now on.

Why should I be upset about someone who's so happy with

her daughter that she can't even call us?

Dad, Mom, what are you doing?

We should get going.

I barely managed to convince Yoo-ra to get dressed and go.

Let's go before she changes her mind.

Let's go!

Stop being silly.

Sorah?

It's me.

Call Yeon-woo's sister and find out where they're meeting.

There's no time, so hurry.

These are my mother and my younger sister.

These are my parents, my brother, and my sister-in-law.

And this is my daughter Yoo-ra.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm so happy we're meeting under these happy circumstances.

Please sit down.

I'm hungry.

When are we eating?

Wait a little bit.

We'll eat after we introduce each other.

We already did.

I'm starving.

Why are there so many people here?

Are they going to steal my food?

Where's Kang-so?

He's home.

Mom, isn't Yoo-ra pretty?

She looks sly to me.

She'll give her mother a hard time.

Mom, that lady is scary.

Don't say that, Yoo-ra.

You need to be a good girl, then she'll like you.

Why isn't that handsome man from the flower shop here?

Shouldn't he be here if he's her boyfriend?

This isn't a formal meeting.

It's a circus.

Anyway, Yeon-woo and Shin-yong,

your meeting caused your parents much pain.

So you have to be happier than other couples.

Be good to your mother-in-law.

I was starving. What took you so long?

I haven't eaten all day.

Mom, that lady eats like a pig.

Yoo-ra...

Slow down. You'll get indigestion.

Drink some water.

You're so pretty.

Do you want some?

Yes, Mother.

Thank you.

You're pretty even when you eat.

Mom, have some too.

I got picked too?

I'm so honored.

You're giving me your food.

Isn't it good?

Where's my food?

I'm hungry too.

You can't stand being hungry when you're old.

There's nothing weird about it.

Father...

I'm sorry for interrupting your dinner.

I came to get Yoo-ra.

What do you think you're doing?

How dare you come here?

There's nothing I can do if you don't want me.

It's my fault.

But I won't let Yeon-woo raise my child.

I'm taking Yoo-ra.

I promised my mother that I'd raise Yoo-ra well.

And I'll keep that promise no matter what.

Excuse me.

I'll go.

Wait.

Let's talk.

What else is there to say?

Do you want to see who's the better dad?

I have neither money nor a good job.

I lost custody, so I probably have no rights either.

But I won't let Yoo-ra do something she doesn't want to.

I may be stupid, but I still have the right to protect her happiness.

This isn't the right way to do things.

I want to live with my dad.

It's my wish.

I'm begging you.

Don't take my mom.

You're a good person.

Yoo-ra...

I guess that answers your question about who's hurting her more.

Let's go, Yoo-ra.

Aunt, it's me.

What?

So Hwang Bomi found out you're her mother?

She saw me on the surveillance camera.

So that means she knows.

She knew that and she turned you in for robbery?

She's really scary.

It's her way of denying that I'm her mother.

I felt the same way.

What are you going to do now?

You're not going to live as her mother, are you?

We won't be happy even if we live together.

She probably wants to die too.

I'll stay at the restaurant until your mom forgives me.

Be good to your mom.

Who asked you to save me?

I don't want to live.

Why did you save me?

Don't I even have the right to die?

If you have the courage to die,

use it to live your life right.

What's so great about all of you?

Is giving up a baby not a sin?

Do you think you would've lived your life differently

if you were me?

At least I wouldn't have tried to kill myself.

I saved you for Aunt's sake.

I have no sympathy for you.

You're not worth it.

Just kill me!

Kill me!

Kill me!

Watch a funny movie with the whole family under one blanket

and laugh until we cry.

I got everything I want.

I have the whole family sleeping together.

I hope you have a marriage without sadness or tears.

Be happy.

Thanks, Mom.

Thanks for having me and raising me.

Thanks for being here with me.

Don't forget that no matter where I am,

I'm always thinking of you.

I love you.

Are you ready?

How do you feel?

I'm so nervous.

Seeing you is making me nervous too.

Such a beautiful woman will be my wife.

I'm a lucky man.

I'm even luckier because I found out what a great man you are.

Thanks for saving my life and waiting for me.

And I love you.

I love you too.

I never dreamed that you'd marry me because you loved me.

But here we are.

There were peach blossoms in the hall.

I picked some for you.

They're beautiful like you.

Do you know what peach blossoms signify?

What?

I'm yours forever.

I believe in you.

Just like our wedding.

I love them.

It's time to go.

You go ahead.

I need to take care of some work

since I'll be gone during the honeymoon.

I'll be right behind you.

Take good care of my bride.

Yes.

Don't be late.

Come in.

There were peach blossoms in the hall.

I picked some for you.

Set it up for the day after I come back from my honeymoon.

Move me to the hospital after a small car accident.

Then tell her I need an emergency surgery.

That's the day my paralysis will be cured.

Be careful so she doesn't suspect anything.

Dallae...

Don't move.

Don't come near me.

You liar!
