There's a woman you love.

However, although love is important, responsibility is equally as important.

Love changes. But one's children doesn't.

And you know it too.

Being a parent, you'd do almost anything for your child...

Look at how I'm begging you for my daughter's sake...

It's regrettable for the other woman, but she's just one person whereas Seo Young is two, including the baby...

If you and Seo Young start again, you could be happy together...

The two of you may overcome this difficulty and live a more meaningful life together....

Even if I know how you feel, I'm disappointed.

I'm sorry, but I have a train to catch.

Is it more important than this matter?

I'm not saying I want your answer right now.

I beg you. I want you to decide with caution.

I'm sorry. Let's go.

You're late. It already left.

There's the next train.

The snow sightseeing train has already left, there'll only be regional trains to take.

Then let's ride that. Let's go.

No, we decided to take the snow train. We can go next week, they're supposed to go until March.

We can just go up the mountain, let's go...

I don't want to! I want to take the snow train...

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Was it really that important?

Yes, it was.

Then what do we do?

What do you want to do? We'll do anything.

Anything?

Is really?

Really.

Let's roam around for the rest of the day.

To where?

Anywhere.

Dad, what are you curious about?

I'll answer for you.

If... Young Min doesn't come back to you, are you prepared to raise the child on your own?

He's a person who left me and chose his son.

He won't be able to abandon his own child.

Are you using the child for your own good?

You and the child are different... Don't confuse the two.

Young Min will take responsibility for the child, but he's not going to come back to you.

Don't worry. I'll make him come back.

I'm going to make him.

Let's say that he does come back because of his responsibility,

If he doesn't love you, do you think you'll be happy?

There's no need to discuss this further.... Just get rid of the baby.

What are you going to do with Young Min?.... He's no good for you. What can he do for you anyway?

Are you going to wreck your life because of that child?

That's your thoughts and your standards.

I never wanted Young Min to ever do anything for me!

And he has a girlfriend!

I'm with child.... Stop this...

Seo Young, come to your senses!!

Come to your senses instead of trying to trap someone to stay with you...

Don't hold your breath. I'm not going to give up my child.

Mom, your arm will hurt. I'll do it.

It's ok.

I said I'll do it.

Fine. Try.

Why are you making it so thick, it's supposed to be thin.

If the skin is too thick, it doesn't look very nice...

If it's too thin there's no chewing taste.

I told you it won't be appealing....

This is so frustrating... Can't we just make them really big?

We'll be doing this all day. You know there's dumplings that are big.

Food should be presented well...

Grandma, your dumplings are so pretty. Why are mine so ugly?

What is that?

You have to make pretty dumplings to have pretty daughters.

That must be why Mom and Aunt are so pretty.

Of course.

So, the reason why Unni and I are pretty is because of your dumpling making skills?

That's right.

I think all of the pretty people die early.

What do you mean?.... I think we look pretty good...

Mom, Misu and I must be pretty because you make pretty dumplings.

That's right. Yeah, you're both pretty.

Aigoo... what's that?

Yoon Ji, what's wrong?

Come here, Yoon Ji.

Yoon Ji, why are you crying? Did you fight with unni?

They don't usually fight together...

Yoon Ji, why are you crying?

I dreamed about Dad.

You were sleeping?!?

Why are you crying if you dreamt about Dad?

It's ok. Don't cry.

I wanna see Dad.

She misses her dad?

They're kids afterall...

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Mom, why did you make Dad's picture like that?

Oh, that's... I didn't want to see Dad so I put it like that.

Don't do that.

Ok, I won't. Let's go play with Unni.

I guess she didn't like the photo....

I'm glad you took that off...

Let's not do that. Let's take a family photo again.

Let's do that.... How long has it been?.... 40 years?

You just can't let that go, can you?

I must have a lot of leftover resentment toward you...

I could see if Soo Ja did, but why do you have much?

Ummmaaa... so you do acknowledge it then?

Mom, Aunt must like teasing Grandma.

Hurry up and roll it.

What an unforgivable wench...

Yoon Mi, take care of Yoon Ji. She said she dreamt about Dad today.

I know.

If you know, then you should comfort her, why are you acting like you don't know?

Dad was the one that left us, but she's crying like a stupid person.

Why is she a stupid person? Why is she a stupid person for wanting to see Dad?

I don't miss Dad.

Even so, he's still you're dad...

I don't need him.

That's not right, Yoon Mi.

Unni, you're a bad person.

Dad is even more.

Yoon Mi!

what's going to happen to Mi Sun?

Since her husband disappeared, what's going to happen legally?

They already divorced legally.

How?

Because of his debts, they divorced to keep her from liability.

So they were already divorced officially...

Well, I'm glad.... Otherwise, she would be responsible for all his debt.

I'm glad, too, but do you think he'll want Yoon Mi and Yoon Ji back?

Aigoo.... he should worry about himself, so he can at least face them later when they're older.

You have to make more dumpling wraps. Yeah. Hurry up.

Young Min, let's go.

You're going to the baths?

Yeah, we've got to get all cleaned up.

3 generations are going.

Uncle, you come too.

He can't, we have a lot to do here.

I'm always busy.

Take care of everything!

Of course, don't worry and have a good trip!

Who is it?

It's Quick Service.

Come in.

Who is this from?

Goodbye...

Thank you.

Oh, honey, honey, honey!

We received some Han Woo Yuk! (raw Korean beef)

Hold on. There's even a card.

What? Something came for me?

'For Auntie'

Aunt?

It's Seo Young. She sent it.

Seo Young?

Aunt, be healthy this year and have a happy holiday.

What's going on?... I thought she never wanted to see me again.

Didn't she say she was going overseas soon?

Yeah. She must not have gone yet.

But what is this?

It's a Han Woo set....

My goodness.... She sent this to wish us well for the holidays...

She's so thoughtful...

What do I do? Should I open it?

Father will definitely complain if we accept something like this.

It's for you... Why would your dad be upset?

Open it.

Really?

Wow. This is huge.

What in the world...

Aigoo.... Good job!

It feels great, right?

Grandpa, do you see a lot of dirt?

Not really.

It tickles.

Be patient...

Is it good?

Yes.

Grandpa

Mmm.

Grandfather, what is the name of this?

Naeng Myeon.... Try it!

It's my favorite food.

Eat.

Joon-ah,

How does it taste?

I like jjajangmyeon better.

I knew it.

Young Min, you should take Joon to your parents' burial site.

You should introduce him to your parents...

Ok.

Father, do you want some fruit?

Sure.

Umm, you know, Seo Young sent us some galbi (ribs).

She sent it to me.

Why did she send that?

She said it was the holidays and she remembered us.

I even called her, to say thank you.

We don't have to send it back, do we? I mean, it's a gift.

Who would like some more ddeokgug (rice stick soup)?

Here.... here...

I think we need more steamed galbi (short rib) over here.

Okay...

Tell me if you need more of something...

Thank you!

President/chairman, we love you!

Thank you!.... Thank you!

Dad.... Leave it here.

Have some more....

Mom, hurry and come inside.

I told you to bow to your Grandma first.

Let's sit together...

Take a seat, Mom...

Who's first?

We are!

Yoon Mi and Yoon Ji... Why don't you bow together?

Wang Grandma, Grandma, Aunt Grandma.... Have a wonderful blessed year!

Aigoo.... same to you....

Be good... do well in school... and be healthy!

Yes.

Ja.... Here's your bowing allowance/gift...

Thank you!

Thank you!

Aunt Grandma has money for you, too.

Thank you.

I will give you mine later, okay?

Who is next?.... Mi Sun and Mi Soo, are you next?

Yes, Grandma.

Go ahead.

Grandma, Mom, Aunt.... Have a wonderful blessed year!

Same to you... hope you will be healthy and all your wishes fulfilled this year.

Yes.

You want allowance, too?

I wonder how my brother would feel... his unmarried son bringing the grandson...

What kind of heartache would my sister-in-law suffer?

Let's have a light dinner... I think I had too much for lunch.

I made some rice balls... Why don't you just have one?

That's a good idea.... The sweet rice would be easier to digest!

Ajumma, could you tell Hyun Woo to come down?

Honey, you did a great job today!

It's only once a year....

I'm just glad everyone liked the food.

It was so good!.... Who wouldn't want to eat it?

All the employees told me that anything and everything you make is delicious.

It's just that they're young... everything tastes good.

It's because you made everything so well...

I don't think I'm going to have dinner... My whole body is sore...

Your mom is fine... What are you complaining about?... a young guy like you?!?

I didn't feel it earlier... but after resting a bit... it hurts even more.

Mom, are you okay?

How could I be okay?

Haven't you ever heard of the tremendous exhaustion that all Korean women suffer over the holidays?

Ah... that's true.

It's the holiday exhaustion...

I'm not going to have dinner. I just want to rest.

Then you'll wake up hungry later...

I'll eat later then.

Yah.... With your physique, you're just being a baby...

It really isn't, you know?!?

You did great today!

It wasn't easy cleaning all the tables afterward...

Okay... Go and put on some herbal pads...

Yes.

Honey, do you remember when we were newlyweds?

Shin BI is sleeping, and mom went home...

I'm enjoying the peaceful quiet... Our lives are so hectic all the time.

Do you want to go somewhere tomorrow?.... We have a day left.

Let's just stay here.... lying around on the couch... I'd rather just do that.

Alright.

Then, lie around all day then. I'll do all the cooking.

Then, I'll be the only one relaxing. Let's cook together... and relax together.

Alright.

Honey, when you start the full-time professorship, what will your salary be?

Not really sure...

It must be higher than a part-time professor, don't you think?

Then, let's give your mom some money...

Lately, we haven't been able to give her money monthly...

I think we'll be able to do that now.

I would be grateful if we could do that...

Let's save money for Shin Bi to study to become a professor like you.

She might want to study abroad...

And we should give your mom more money, too.

Alright.

Mom!

Mother-in-law!

Why are you so surprised?

Were you expecting someone else?

Mom, didn't you say you were going to come back after the holiday?

So are you upset that I came back earlier?

No, it's not that. We didn't know you were coming earlier, so we were surprised... That's all.

Mom, did you fight with Dad again?

Aigoo.... what an awful-mannered man... I'm never going back home again.

What happened?... You hadn't been home in a long time...

If I went home tired from babysitting...

Maybe he just wanted your attention since he hadn't seen you in so long.

How annoying!!

I didn't feel like indulging him either.

Did you eat dinner?

I ate and then left everything behind.

Why did those two get at it again?

And why did she just come right back?

Mother-in-law still has to eat something though.

Mom!

Mom...

Mom, don't move a muscle tomorrow and just rest here at home.

I'm afraid you might overwork yourself.

Our closest relatives already make up 9 people... no, with Shin Bi, we're 10!

All those 10 had to eat all day, I'm sure you didn't have time to think!

You didn't even get to sit down once.

You helped and so did your sister, how could it be that bad. Every house is the same this time of year.

Mom, it seemed even more special this time around.

It's the first time we spent the holidays together with grandmother and aunt, isn't it.

You're happy about that too, right?

Yeah.

But Mom, I think Dad's sad because we didn't go to see him.

If we go soon, it'll be fine.

Ah, Hyun Woo!

At a Jjimjilbang?

This whole day?

Tomorrow!

What's this about a jjimjilbang?

I caught that thing called 'holiday exhaustion'.

How could a man have 'holiday exhaustion'??

Hey, do you know how many bowls of Ddeokguk I passed around?

Don't even get me started on it!

So you're father always invites all of his employees to the house on New Year's?

And then you eat Ddeokguk and all that together?

Yeah, he's been doing that ever since he started his business.

That's really impressive. I'm sure all of his employees really love him.

But didn't I catch 'holiday burnout' because of him and his employees?

I didn't even know what that was til now.

Don't whine about it, let's go into a sauna room and ease it all out of your system.

I'm hot, what do you want to drink?

Sipgae. (a sweet drink with rice in it)

How are you?

Yesterday I took Joon to my ancestor's.

So that Joon could greet his grandparents who passed away.

I think it was a very special day.

It's been a long time since I missed my father and mother like that.

And what kind of meaning I have in your life.... I thought about these things a lot.

Hello?

Hello?

Aunt, it's me, Seo Young.

Ah, Seo Young! How's your New Year's?

Good.

How about you Auntie?

We ate very well, thanks to you!

Auntie...

Could you meet me?

I'd like to talk to you for a bit.

I wonder what she has to say so suddenly.

If Young Min would just have a slight change of heart...

Aiyuu...

I'll be out for a bit.

Honey, where are you going?

I said I'd be back soon.

But where will you be?!

What are you doing, hurry up and make a move.

Ah, yes.

Where's she off to like that?

Concentrate here, can't you survive without your wife for a minute?

No, it's just that, if she's leaving now, she might eat outside as well...

Don't worry about me and go ahead.

Alright.

Move...

It's checkmate everyday.... just stop saying that word.

What shall I call then?

Nevermind.

Ai, ai, ai. What are you doing?

Don't move.

You're already here, I must be a bit late.

No, I just came as well.

I'm sorry for not officially wishing you a happy New Year.

There's nothing to be sorry for, you wished us all the luck and we received your gift.

But it's still come to this...

Excuse me!

Would you like some tea, Auntie ?

I'll just have some coffee.

One coffee and some kiwi juice please.

Auntie...

I.... Did Young Min not tell you anything at all?

About what?

Did you meet Young Min?

I thought he would tell you...

No, he didn't speak to me about anything in particular.

What's wrong?

Auntie....

I'm with child.

What??!

With child??!

Yes Auntie.

Oh my God... but.... And Young Min knows about this?

I told him a few days ago.

And I asked him to react quickly on the matter.

But why would he not say anything? How could I know without him saying anything?

I'm sorry for surprising you like this.

No, no.

You shouldn't be sorry for anything.

Seo Young, are you really sure? There's no mistake?

Yes.

Ah... I'm really at my wit's end.

Ah, that's bitter.

Please drink.

Hey...

Is everything okay?

You're fine, right Seo Young?

It's not like he doesn't know.... you said he knows everything, right?

Yes.

Auntie... I want to marry Young Min.

What's this?! Of course you should, you have a child now!

Will grandfather think the same way?

There's a child involved, what else could he do? What did your parents say?

They won't acknowledge it.

Mother and father are both against us.

So what do they propose?

Mother says I should abort, she's against me meeting Young Min every again.

Oh my.... how could she propose cancelling a new life?!

That can't be, that shouldn't even be spoken of!

How could your own mother say something like that?!

You must have suffered so much lately.

You're the only one left for me Auntie.

In all the world...

How could this happen.... ??!

Ok...

Once more.

What's wrong, Auntie?

What?

Why?

Why didn't you tell us?

How could you know and not say a word, how?!

I really can't understand what's happening now.

Why, what's this?!

What's going on?

What's this about a child?

Seo Young said she's with Young Min's child.

What???!

What's this about?

Young Min, is this true?

Really?
