The line is busy....

[In Unison] Did you just call?

Yes. - Yes. [chuckles]

Uhh..

I called to give you a copy of the magazine that just came out.

I called to return your sweater.

I have an appointment right now. But I'll be free in about 2 hours.

Would that be okay?

So what do you think?

Do we have to change it?

I don't want to start my marriage with the old bed and used furniture.

And I think there should be a difference between living by yourself and living as newly-weds.

It's fine as it is, though.

I don't like it.

From the interior, to the furniture...I'm going to change everything.

How's this one?

Do we really have to?

What's this?

What is this?

Oh. It's nothing.

It's a woman's sweater.

Yeah, it's auntie's.

It's already been worn.

Yea..

Why is this here?

She must've left it there and forgot.

It's too worn out.

I should buy her a new one.

Drop me off at the car service center.

Why?

Is there something wrong with your car?

No. Just a regular check-up.

I'll call u later!

Hello?

Oh, Auntie! Hello.

At my house?

Really?

Yes, that's fine.

I'll be heading back, soon.

Yes, Auntie.

Okay, I'll see you later!

Wait!

Oh my god!

Soo Ja!

You're Soo Ja, right? Moon Soo Ja?

Oh, it is!

Hey, are you...?

Young Wook?! - That's right! It's Han Young Wook!

Oh my goodness! - Goodness, how long has it been?

It's been over 20 years, right?

How is it that we meet like this?!

I know, right? Since we haven't died, look at how our paths cross like that!

You're right! Hey..Let's go somewhere and talk.

How can we just separate like this?

Is there a place where we can drink tea?

Wait a minute... Do you live here?

This is a super expensive villa.

Do I look that rich to you?

I'm here to work.

Work?

Yea.

What about you? You live here?

Aigoo! How can I live here?

My niece-in-law -

Wait, no... My nephew's fiancée lives here.

Alone, too. Her family makes quite a living.

I didn't want to visit empty-handed, so I came here, but--

what a coincidence!

Hey, come on. Let's go get a cup of tea somewhere.

I can't right now, but I can after 5.

Really?

You have a cellphone, right?

Give it to me.

Here..

Put your cellphone number.

Let's keep in touch and meet again.

I have to go home and make dinner, too.

So I guess today won't work out.

Your children must be married already... Your oldest was a boy, right?

The oldest and the second one got married already, and only the youngest is left.

Hey... your youngest,

isn't she the one that ShinJa abandoned?

She gave that baby to you after she got pregnant without even getting married before she ran away, am I right?

You have quite a memory...

Hey, it was a huge thing!

She disappeared, leaving a newborn at your door step!

Do you keep in contact with Shin Ja?

Hold on.

Hello?

Did you leave already? - No, I just came shopping at the supermarket.

I have a guest arriving soon, so please hurry back.

Hey, I have to run.

I have your number, so let's talk later. Call me, okay?

Aww..but still..how can we just separate like this?

It's just that I'm busy, Young Wook. Sorry. Bye!

Bye...

I'll call you!

Ajummuni,

Please prepare some tea and fruits. Which fruits do we have?

Apples, persimmons, and mangos.

Then please prepare some coffee and mango.

You should get the coffee ready first.

Yes.

[Flustered]

You're right.

I'll get it.

Welcome, Auntie.

Come in.

- How have you been? All good? - Yes.

The beef tail stew that you brought,

we simply loved it. It was delicious.

Really?

I went to the market and bought some fresh grapes.

The stuff here is so good, but why is it so expensive?

You could've just come.

I just bought a little.

Please sit.

Ajummuni, would you take these inside, please?

Oh my.

Soo Ja!

My goodness! It really is a small world!

The place you mentioned earlier was here?!

Do you two know each other?

She's my highschool classmate!

I met you at the market, but how is it that we meet here again?

I liked her even though she only worked for a few days..

..but it's even better now since she's your friend, Auntie.

Go ahead and talk.

[Still awed] Yeah...

Oh my goodness.

We were close friends at school

..but we lost touch after graduation till now.

Then you met her because of me!

That's right! I met her again because of you!

Hey! Isn't the youngest the baby that Shin Ja left you?

Shin Ja had that baby without even getting married and left her with you and disappeared.

Thank you.

For what?

About Joon.

And your sweater.

Really?

Yes.

I'm a bit...

No, I'm really confused.

You don't seem to be the type to be touched by something so little.

The Han Young Min that I met is..

very cold, quite demanding, and...

I thought you told your friend that I was a perfectionist.

It's a bit different, I see.

It means the same thing.

To tell you the truth, Hyun-Woo edited my comments.

I guess he felt embarrassed to convey what I said word for word.

I told him that you were really prickly.

You're right.

I'm like that.

I am very prickly.

But I do know how to be grateful.

That day

Joon must have given you quite a scare.

Joon is...

still unfamiliar to the life and customs here, having only arrived several days ago. Am I right?

I guess he's having a hard time adjusting.

Is he your nephew?

Joon's grandfather is... your father..?

No, my grandfather.

We thought he was Joon's grandfather.

If he's grandfather to you, Mr. Han,

then he must be a great-grandfather to Joon.

That's right.

I see.

Having a hard time grasping the relationships here...

[Gasp] So there are four generations living under one roof!

For now.

It's three generations for us.

I would like to apologise

I made a mistake.

That day, when we had the interview

when I called you, Ms. Jo, an irresponsible person,

Excuse me?

That I took your optimistic and bright attitude as irresponsible.

I apologise

Yeah, I have a good temperament. [Laughs]

Here.

That's good one

How much?

35K Won. (US $30~35)

But you have cheaper ones!

Wait a minute

Hey, honey.

Order take-out?

Get some Chinese with father. (It's not really Chinese, by the way...;;;)

I came by Seo-Young's house. I'm going to have dinner here, so get something nice.

No, I think it'd be better if you eat out. It's been a while since father ate out.

But father likes Chinese, too! What's the problem?

Ajummuni,

why don't you have dinner with us? You two haven't seen each other for a very long time.

And you don't have to do the dishes, either.

Please have dinner with us before you go.

I would love to very much,

but I have to make a long trip tomorrow,

so I was planning on leaving early today.

Oh.

And here I was, making you prepare dinner in a moment's notice...

It's ok.

Where to?

It's a bit far.

I will look at the content a little bit later

and tell you my opinion.

What do you think of your picture?

I really didn't care for that photographer,

but the photos are nice.

I'm curious:

during the interview,

how come there was no mention of your fiancee?

Why did you refuse the question altogether?

Like I said before, it's a private matter.

Readers are more curious about your private life.

I'm not a celebrity, I build houses.

Double-check the ground incline with what you have over there.

Your lunch break was too long.

Why? Did I hold up your work?

No, not at all.

We work well without having our boss around.

That's right

Hey, Team Leader Lee,

[Stuttering] He, he's not getting angry. What's going on?

He's always been like a time bomb till now, ready to blow.

Maybe something got resolved.

What could that be?

How should I know?

Do you know, Sang-Ju? - No.

The longer you chew, the blander it gets. (Not funny.)

And he even cracks a joke.

Mr. Lee, please prepare the model for the university theatre project;

Ms. Oh, you can do the powerpoint.

Let's just show them the design.

Since the Powerpoint presentation is only 10 minutes anyway.

Go in.

Mom....

I'm sorry.

Don't be mad.

I just felt saddened by what you said and got mad without realizing it.

Your son-in-law thought of you and made you breakfast, and got you a gift and all.

You didn't seem to appreciate it.

You son-in-law may only be an hourly lecturer right now, but someday he'll become a well-respected professor.

If I only wanted a rich man, why would I have married him?

You think that I have a hard life.

But even if he earned a lot of money, I would've still worked.

Don't think of trying to change your mom's attitude.

MOM!

I can't be well-mannered.

I say exactly what's in my heart.

Plus, I really didn't say what I said because I wanted a mink scarf.

Please, Mom.

Don't say things that are so hurtful to him.

That's why I'm telling you now, I can't guard my tongue.

I'm the one who makes you angry mom, not him.

Has she let go of her anger some?

She said, she can't help being narrow-minded.

Did she eat dinner?

She had been to some old Grandma's.

Honey.....

This

Give it to MiSun.

After everything that happened to her, we didn't do anything for her.

I'd been feeling bad about it anyway.

Give it to her tomorrow.

Stop by before you go to school.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I don't want to hear that.

Oppa, you're here?

How's everyone?

Fine.

Mom, I'm here.

Mom's not home.

She leaves this early? No

Oppa, you know

Something amazing happened today.

Mom went out on a trip.

A trip?

Her friend asked her to come visit her before the weather gets too cold.

So she went.

Where to?

She didn't say.

His name is Joon?

Yes

He looks cute.

He's really cute, Uncle.

How old is he?

He's an oppa to me (older).

He's older than you, YoonJi?

Yes.

Can you stay for lunch?

I'll make you something good.

Do you even know how to make something good?

We're Mom's daughters, don't you know?

I'll show you my skill.

No, I need to go to school. I lecture from 1:00.

Then do you miss lunch altogether?

I get something light at the cafeteria.

Mom, can we eat some ice cream?

Sure.

Me too.

Go on.

Don't you need to send YoonMi to school next year?

Uh-huh. I'm going to become a school-age child's parent.

These days kids have to to know a lot before going to school.

Isn't YoonMi studying anything?

I need money to get her piano or English lessons.

I heard that just jump roping and playing are learning for kids.

Aren't they just getting their excercise?

We're talking about 5,6 yr olds. It's not excercise, but playing.

I heard some other moms at the supermarket, talking about their kids' schedules being packed from morning to night with lessons.

That's too much.

If YoonMi's going to go to school next year, don't just let her play. Make sure she gets the lessons she needs.

Though it's a bit late.

Don't you think I know? I just don't have any money.

I should just be grateful that they're not starving, thanks to Mom.

These days there are government run programs.

Don't be complacent, and ignorant. Diligently, look for a way.

Okay.

And don't trust your husband (ex), start thinking of a way to live yourself.

You're a divorcee, without a job. Look for some agencies that'll help.

I've been meaning to.

But I don't know what I should do. I have no past experience.

How is it that I don't know how to do anything?

It all depends on your will.

You can work at a supermarket or make dolls at home.

How can I?

I'll look into it.

Mi Soo....

You keep this.

Who's bank account?

It's a joint savings account from the 3 of us for Mom's 60th birthday.

But why should I keep it?

I think it's best for you to keep it.

My mother-in-law lives with me and just in case she finds out, she may feel sad.

Are you the only one adding to the account?

Even when all three of us are pitching in? She'd still be saddened?

Does it show that all three of us are adding to it?

It's an automatic account so you don't have to concern yourself with anything.

I haven't contributed at all though.

I've put your share.

For the time being, I'll be paying MiSun's share, too.

Oppa, I'm sorry. As soon as YoonMi's dad's problems get resolved, I'll pay, okay?

I told you not to believe in him, didn't I?

ShinBi's mom told me to give this to you, saying she felt bad about not helping you with your difficulties.

Pay MiSoo first.

Sister-in-law did?

Wow!

Thank her for me. I can live now! How much is this?

Guess it's true that there always is a light at the end of a tunnel.

You're paying my money back, right?

Don't worry, I am.

You don't have to pay me back for the hospital fee.

Really?

I'm so lucky today!

Let me count this again.

Oh you came early.

So you've set the date?

Yes

It'll be on February 13th.

Really? And time?

6 PM

Friday sounds good. The time's good too.

How many seatings?

For 500

That sounds good too.

Invite only those who need to come.

We'll also be redo-ing the interior and furniture.

I don't know about the furniture, but wasn't interior design YoungMin's sub-specialty?

But he doesn't seem to want to put his design skills to use, wanting to leave things the way they are.

It's irritating.

Why do you want to start off your marriage in such an unamusing way?

The way it is now is perfect, that 's why.

I think, YoungMin's got a point.

I don't think it's necessary to change if it doesn't need to.

Honey, don't take your son-in-law's side. Do think about your daughter.

He's not wrong in his thinking, that's why. It's a waste, isn't it?

That's the difference between men and women.

The topic's not a serious matter so you two, talk it over. Any other problem?

No problem.

There can't be another problem. That would be preposterous.

He says that when you know the difference between architecture and the architect, that's when you can know what a true architect is.

and architecture is a true form of expressing the inner mind,

and the sincerest feelings can be expressed.

It is one form of expression.

Heh, heh.

Han Young Min does create buildings, he bridges the gap between man and nature.

He gave the appearance of an artist who wants to find the best way to link the two.

What are you doing?

Director Han

Buy that woman who interviewed you a meal.

How could she have written you up so well after the way you treated her?

Anyone who doesn't know you would think you're a very elegant architect.

Your picture looks good too.

You're all making me feel uncomfortable.

Are you saying, you deserved it?

If he says he deserves it, that would be egotistical.

Boss, be sure to buy that female reporter a meal.

So you're all thankful to her?

How could she have written about you like that?

Team Manager Lee, read that part again. Where, where?

That part about man and nature...

Oh, what was that?

An artistic composer?

Where are you going after saying you'd make noodle soup?

Let's make it tomorrow, Un-nee.

I need to go now.

I'm saying that YoonMi and YoonJi are waiting to eat noodle soup.

Sorry You brat!

Your employers did?

Yes.

Your employees? Why?

They said that you wrote so well about me that the readers would misunderstand and think I was some cool guy.

Your employees really think too badly of the president.

They couldn't have said something light that easily to their president.

It's not president, it's director.

Maybe you should have chosen president instead of director.

So they couldn't make a peep.

Anyway, this coffee is thanks to them, right?

Guess it is.

It may have seemed like that to your employees,

but your own feelings are that you don't think it's worth buying me coffee.

is that it?

Do I appear to think that highly of myself?

The coffee is because of my employees, I don't really have any reason...

That's how I understood you.

I'm not very thankful for being made to appear so great, so I would have no reason to buy you coffee.

But most people...

But I'm not most people.

I'm Han YoungMin.

Wow, so full of it...

Thank the workers for the coffee.

It may sound funny for a man in my position to say this,

but you write well.

Well enough to make me want to buy you coffee.

What?

It's okay for you to take it whatever way you want,

I just told you what I felt.

No...

Compliment's are a good thing.

Thank you.

If I get another chance, I'll buy you coffee.

I have a cup of coffee to look forward to.

Yes.

I feel so lucky all of a sudden

over a cup of coffee.

Hello, Professor.

Oh What're you doing here?

Got an appointment?

I saw you and professor sitting here.

I must have good eyesight to spot you guys.

Professor

may I sit down?

Of course

Did you receive the magazine?

Yeah..

Wrote well, huh?

What's wrong?

Because even to me, it was well-written.

That's why I'm here buying her coffee.

Oh, that's what this meeting was about...

You must be happy, MiSoo

Frankly, I am.

Professor Han...

you'll buy me one too, right?

Place your order.

Excuse me!

This is a totally unexpected twist.

What happened while I was sleeping?

I acknowlege that it's unexpected, but you're over-reacting.

Tell me exactly what happened.

I'm about to feel bad.

It's a bit long and complicated.

I got a lot of time. Plus, I can't stand being curious.

Tell me.

Han YoungMin lives very close to me.

Really?

So?

Don't know the patient's name. Only know the guardian's.

Is it possible to find out the room number?

Don't know the patient's name?

Yes.

How could you not know?

Is the patient male or female?

He's an elderly male.

And the name of the guardian?

Im......Young Soon.

The patient's name is Park GiSoon.

And the guardian is his wife, Im YungSoon

But..he passed away a few days ago.

Last Tuesday.

If I leave this world,

your mother will be all alone.

We don't have children. She's alone.

Could you please forgive your mom?

36 years have gone by.

Now she's old, and she's going to be an old lady alone.

Could you pity her instead?

Don't go, don't go.

I said, don't go.

Dad's sick, and you're leaving us? Does that make any sense?

Don't go!

Mom don't go!

If you go, you're not a human.

That's right. It's okay for you to think that I'm not even human.

Your dad told me to go. He told me to.

That's how desperate he's feeling.

You ask him for a divorce every single day.

With dad's personality, could he do otherwise?

So don't hold on to me, you two.

Mom....don't go.

Don't cry. No matter how much you cry, I'm still leaving.

SooJa, I'm going.

What am I supposed to do? Dad is sick--what am I going to do?

Don't go....mom don't go!

How am I going to look after Dad all by myself?

I need to take a college entrance exam, don't go.

Mom......mom!!

Mother....

Have you met your friend? Are you having fun together?

You must be having so much fun you didn't even hear the phone ringing.

Good for you, Mom.

Enjoy your visit.

Call me when you arrive. I'll meet you at the terminal.

Hi honey!

Didn't leave yet?

I'm heading to the departure.

Where are you?

School?

Are you finished?

Yeah. I'm at the parking lot.

Take good care of ShinBi

Don't worrry.

Have a safe trip.

Don't get into an argument with Mom.

All right?
