(Episode 10)

Sejin, how do you feel?

Not bad.

Now that I've made my decision,

I actually feel rather relieved.

Good. I'm glad.

I've set up everything for you there,

so take language classes for a year

and then think about what to do next.

But I'm a bit worried.

I'm not sure

if I can fend for myself in a foreign country.

I'll be fine, right?

I promised that

that I'd give you a fresh start.

Wow, I can't wait to find out

what you've prepared for your dear daughter.

I should go.

I'm not even packed yet.

Why don't you have lunch with me?

I want to introduce you to someone.

Introduce me to whom?

Don't misunderstand.

It's not that I'm not happy about you.

It's just that I wasn't expecting you,

so I'm a bit surprised.

Don't worry about anything.

I'm sure your dad will be happy, too.

Over here, Taejun.

What's up?

What brings you all the way here?

I was passing by.

Were you busy?

No, they don't give me any work these days.

People are treating me like I'm invisible.

Really? That's not good.

What's not good? I only have a week left.

I'm leaving Korea a week from now.

Oh, right.

You have a week left.

What's wrong? You look pale.

Did something happen?

No.

Nothing happened.

What could happen?

Did she talk to you about the apartment?

She wants to live there?

What?

If she brings it up, just say no.

If you give her an inch, she'll take a mile.

Don't let her get close to you. She's bad news.

Don't say that.

How people behave can change

depending on their circumstances.

But once a mom, always a mom.

Did you ask me to come here to say that?

No, I didn't.

Well...

Actually...

What is it?

Just a second.

Hello, this is Kang Taejun.

Where are you?

I'm at the lobby right now.

Yes, sir. I'll be right up.

I'm sorry, I have to be somewhere.

Don't be sorry. Of course you have to go.

If it's not urgent, let's talk about it later.

I'll call you. Go home.

(Taejun's Mother)

Hello, it's me.

Come in.

- Welcome. / - I'm sorry I'm late.

A friend came to see me, so I was out.

Did I disturb you?

No, sir.

Thanks.

If it weren't for you,

Taejun never would've gone to a good college.

And he never would've gotten a good job.

He's going abroad to study

thanks to you.

No, mother. Don't say that.

Nayeon,

Taejun said he'd break the lease

on this apartment and give you back the deposit.

Then where am I going to go?

Can you just let me stay here?

Can you please talk to Taejun?

Imagine how I feel about having to ask you this.

It's okay, mother.

I was planning on keeping this place

until Taejun comes back anyway.

You can stay here.

Really? I can really do that?

You can't take back what you said, okay?

Don't worry about it.

Thanks.

I knew you'd say yes.

I almost forgot.

I made dough to make you noodle soup.

No, stay here. I'll make it.

Would you?

I made the anchovy broth and the dough,

so all you have to do is make the noodles.

You made everything already,

so there's not much to do.

Oh, do you have a stomachache?

Are you sure you can eat?

I wanted to be nice to her,

but she won't let me.

Did you take some medicine for that?

Want me to pat your back?

Look at her wallet. Only $30.

Oh, my!

Is it really bad?

Should I do acupuncture?

When you have a stomachache,

acupuncture works like magic.

Oh? What's this?

Are you pregnant?

What's this?

You're pregnant, aren't you?

Yes, I'm six weeks along.

What the...

Come here.

So? What are you going to do?

About what?

What will you do about the baby?

What do you mean? I'm going to have it.

Unbelievable.

You'll become an unwed mother?

The timing has to be right to have a baby.

If everyone who got pregnant gave birth,

there'd be no room in the orphanages.

How could you say such a thing?

Did you tell Taejun you're pregnant?

Did you tell him already?

Not yet. But I'm going to tell him.

Are you nuts?

What?

He had the worst luck with parents,

and he finally got the chance to succeed,

and you're going to ruin it for him?

I'm not ruining it for him.

Taejun should be happy.

Are you stupid?

If you tell him you're pregnant,

do you think he'll still go to America?

I know him better than anyone.

The moment he hears about it,

he'll tell his company he can't go to America

and ask you to marry him first.

No matter what you say,

I'm going to have this baby.

So? You're going to tell Taejun?

You'll stop him from going abroad?

He finally got his chance to succeed.

How could you, of all people, ruin it for him?

Mother...

If you're going to have that baby,

don't say anything to Taejun.

Mother, Taejun is the father.

So how could I do that?

Do you think I'm joking about this?

I know I'm horrible, but I'm still his mom!

He's leaving soon, so don't burden him.

Don't say anything, and just let him go.

Once he's settled down,

you can tell him.

The baby won't come tomorrow.

You have nine months.

You can pick the right time and tell him then!

Kang Taejun,

I hope we get along well.

Lee Nayeon!

Why are you coming home so late?

Why didn't you answer your phone?

Why didn't you reply to...

What is it? What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Did she say something to you?

I told you

not to go to my place while she was staying there!

Man...

I've had it up to here.

I can't take this anymore. I'm kicking her out.

Now it's finally hitting me.

You're really leaving.

I thought I'd be okay.

I thought I would feel fine,

but I don't.

Nayeon, it's not too late.

If you tell me not to go, I won't go.

Just tell me not to go.

Tell me you can't bear to see me

leave you behind and go to America

after you put me through college.

Tell me you're too upset to do that, you dummy.

This is your last chance.

Right.

But this is your last chance, too.

Didn't I tell you?

Half of who you are belongs to me.

So you have to go.

Go and do your best,

so it'll be worth it for both of us.

I'm making an investment for my half.

Got it?

What are you doing?

- Just a minute. / - No.

I, Kang Taejun,

take Lee Nayeon as my wife

and vow to devote my heart to her

and love her and only her

as long as I shall live.

I, Lee Nayeon,

take Kang Taejun as my husband

and vow to devote my heart to him

and love him and only him

as long as I shall live.

Thank you for coming to me.

Thank you.

Welcome, Kang Taejun.

(5 years later)

Hello.

How much are the blue crabs?

$20 for a kilo. They arrived this morning.

What are you talking about?

They were $18 last week.

The price went up.

But they're full of eggs.

Just give them to me for $18.

No, I only make $3 per kilo.

I have to make a profit.

Okay, okay.

Let's make it $19. Okay?

Give me a dollar more.

Why do you have to haggle so hard?

Why do you think I always come here?

I never go anywhere but here.

Maybe I should just go to another shop.

Okay!

Take them. I'll give them to you.

Give me the big ones.

Here! One squid on the house!

I should deep-fry this.

Did I miss anything?

Will this be okay?

How did it go?

You made all of that by yourself?

Here's your chicken. Enjoy.

Can we have one more onion chicken?

Onion chicken.

- Can we have some more pickles? / - Pickles.

Here they are. Enjoy.

Hello.

I'm really sorry,

but we're out of chicken.

There's no more left.

That can't be.

It took us over an hour to get here by subway.

You don't even have half a chicken?

I'm sorry.

But next time, I'll make sure I have plenty.

(Chicken is in!)

(Chicken is out!)

I don't know where I got the strength

to roast all that chicken.

Yang Malsuk,

you're taking the day off tomorrow, no matter what.

Your fine son-in-law is coming back from America,

so you have to get things ready.

But why would I take a day off for that jerk?

What a cold, heartless jerk.

How could he not visit once in the past five years?

How dare they?

You!

Oh, no! Out of my way!

You stop right there!

What's wrong with you?

How could you come here?

Let go! Let go of me!

You stop right there!

Stop! Stop right there!

I said stop right there!

What took you so long? Go! Hurry!

What happened?

It's obvious. What do you think?

Just go.

What are you doing?

Be quiet! How dare you

try to steal my husband?

Mother!

Mother!

Hey, stop this woman!

Bite her arm if you have to!

Don't you dare try to stop me!

I'm going to pull all her hair out!

Stop! Stop it, please!

Why would I seduce

your loser of a husband?

Hey! Why don't you tell them?

Do I look like the kind of woman

who would seduce married men? Do I?

No one's saying that.

Everyone here knows.

You wear a ton of makeup,

and whenever you see men around,

you shake your butt and flirt with them.

Did you see me doing that?

Did you see me shake my bottom?

If you didn't, why did you

go to a club with my husband

and slow dance in his arms?

Mother, did you go to a club

with her husband?

So dumb.

That wasn't slow dancing.

That was the jitterbug!

Whatever it was,

why did you flirt with my husband?

I didn't flirt with anyone.

If you're so upset, keep your husband in line.

He was the one

who kept nagging me to teach him to dance

when I told him no again and again!

What? Your foul mouth!

My hair!

That crazy woman!

Can you please leave?

Where do you think you're going?

Do you know who my son is?

You couldn't even look at him straight!

I'm never going to have to see your lot again!

Oh, is that so?

Then please never show up here again.

If I ever catch you,

I'm going to tear your whole scalp off!

You! Stop right there!

- Let go of me! / - Mother, please stop!

Let go!

Hey, Oh Manjeong!

Mom?

Come here.

- Let me see. / - I'm fine.

Oh, my, Ms. Oh!

What mother-in-law bites her daughter-in-law?

Compared to someone who blurts out

her in-law's name like it's some mutt's name,

I'm not half bad,

so what's your problem?

What?

Are you going to hit me, Ms. Yang?

You think I won't, Ms. Oh?

Sure. Hit me, Ms. Yang. Go ahead!

No, no. Please stop.

Don't start a fight.

Mom, let's go home.

Mother, I'll see you again.

If you're rude to Nayeon again,

I won't let you get away with it, Ms. Oh.

Wait...

What are you doing with my zucchini?

Get a hold of yourself.

I won't get away with it?

What can you possibly do?

In-law? Yeah, right.

You should know your place.

Slow down. It won't make a difference.

What happened to him?

That's what we're trying to find out!

Oh? She's doing her makeup?

What happened to father?

You're here.

He was fine in his regular room,

so why was he moved to the ICU again?

He was fine until this morning,

but his blood pressure dropped, and he passed out.

What are we going to do?

He'll be okay, right?

Don't worry too much.

Father is a strong person.

Right? He is, isn't he?

If you just give him time,

he'll pull through.

I can't believe you're wearing makeup.

You sure look pretty. Really pretty.

You don't know what you're saying.

What?

He said I looked awful.

He asked why I look like a widow when he's alive

and told me to put some makeup on.

That should've made his blood pressure go up!

Honey!

Are you Mr. Park Manjae's guardian?

Is he okay?

He's fine, isn't he?

Please come in.

It's like walking a tightrope.

Because of his angina,

we need to improve his blood flow.

But the blood vessels in his brain

have gotten weak, so we must be careful.

Depending on how his condition changes,

the dosage will be carefully controlled.

Please take good care of him, Doctor.

Yes, I'll do my best.

Are you the only one worried about my father?

Just trust the doctors and wait.

That's not easy.

Even if there are hundreds of emergency situations,

this is the first place the doctors will run to.

Why else earn money and stay in the VIP room?

Even if the doctors rush here,

angina and hemorrhagic strokes don't wait for them.

Right.

There is no time here,

so where is his precious son Hwigyeong?

Who is he?

He's your father's one and only son.

Hwigyeong is the one who's most worried,

so don't bring him into this.

I'm just raising a question.

What if that only son doesn't get here in time

to be with his father when he passes away?

Honey!

Your father might be listening.

Are you out of your mind?

How can a daughter say such a thing?

I said it because I'm his daughter!

I'm my father's daughter, too!

So I'm just upset! It's because I'm upset!

Honey...

I must really be my father's daughter.

What are you talking about?

Watching him lie in bed,

why does it...

Hurt here?

I really hate this feeling.

Honey...

It wasn't long after my mom passed away

that my scumbag of a father

married my high school friend.

I always told myself

I'd be happy to see him die...

So why does it feel so strange?

Why am I not happy? Why does it hurt?

Why...

You're a nice person.

And I'm sure that father knows that.

Father?

At times like this,

you're more like his kid than I am.

He's like a father to me.

What's the use?

You're not his real son.

You think he'll ask for you when he wakes up?

He'll ask for Hwigyeong.

If you get too used to giving,

you get uncomfortable about receiving.

You're going home?

No.

Sejin will be coming home soon,

so I want to get a facial.

Was Sejin not our daughter, but your lover?

I don't want our girl to be sad

thinking that her mom has grown old.

As her parents,

we can't make our child worry too much about us.

We must be considerate.

You just said if you get used to giving,

you get uncomfortable about receiving.

If it's our one and only daughter, it's okay.

I'm at the hospital where the chairman is.

His condition got worse,

and he was moved to the ICU.

Jang Sejin isn't here.

It looks like

she'll fly home pretty soon.

Okay. I'll come in.

Really?

The magazine is out?

Okay. I'll be right there.

I've seen shameless people before,

but I've never seen anyone that bad.

How can she get into trouble so often?

She was already married three times,

and now she's flirting with married men?

What's so heavy?

You were going to carry all this by yourself?

Why didn't you wait for me?

The more I see her, the more I hate her.

How could you end up with a mother-in-law like her?

Why did you buy so much food?

People might think we're throwing a party.

Oh, boy.

Weren't you the one

who asked me to make all of Taejun's favorite food?

Oh, my. Did I?

Man...

Are you that excited?

I can't believe how happy you are.

When I think about Taejun

getting a job at Baekdo, the company we both hate,

and not visiting us once in the past five years,

I'd rather beat him up than cook him food.

He'll be good from now on.

And to you, especially good.

I can assure you of that.

- You trust me, don't you? / - All talk...

Oh, did you order the birthday rice cake?

Of course I did. Birthday rice cake.

Wait...

I'm late. I have to go.

Daughter-in-law? Yeah, right.

Sure. Be happy all you want.

But don't blame me when that happiness

turns into disappointment later.

Hi, where are you?

At the hotel?

That must be nice.

No reason.

Nayeon?

Of course I told her already.

Don't worry about anything here, and do your thing.

If I can't help you now, what good am I as a mom?

Hello?

Hello?

Why didn't he tell me he was hanging up?

So heartless.

Saebyeol!

Mom!

Saebyeol,

were you a good girl today?

Yes.

'Daddy bear is fat'

What if he found another woman in America?

He'll be sorry he lost a great woman like me.

Why did it take you so long to pick up?

You'll take this long to answer the call

telling you my father passed away?

Your father passed away? Really?

What if Taejun doesn't recognize you?

I wish he wouldn't.

Excuse me! Stop right there!

What are you doing?

Stay still, before I change my mind.

Kang Taejun, you won't be swayed?

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