Original subtitles

when did you get here?

why didn't you call?

if you had, I would've come faster

I sent you a text but you must not have read it yet

oh, how did I not see it?

oh maybe it was because it was noisy in the restaurant. I had dinner with Hyun Woo

oh wait, you saw Hyun Woo leaving right?

I saw. Did you eat something delicious for dinner?

We just ate something simple at a local restaurant

Joon was so happy with your gift that I thought I'd take a walk and come over to tell you that

you have no idea how much he loves it

he's wearing the galoshes and umbrella in the room

really?

I'm glad that he likes it

let's go for a walk

you don't think you'll be cold?

I'm fine

Hyun Woo has a girlfriend

that's great news

they met by chance but she's really cool

she gets along with Hyun Woo's parents well too

Hyun Woo's mom enjoys music and movies

so they have many things to talk about

so much that the two could meet up even without Hyun Woo around

Hyun Woo must be happy

I was so envious

I wish I could do that with your aunt

we said we would wait

if she really wants to see us happy, she will change, without a doubt

also when she gets closer to you Mi Soo, her heart will change too

I really believe I can do well

Is it really you Jang Hyun Woo?

You're not asleep are you?

now?

I'm watching an American ballet

I have to see if they can perform here in our country

about going up to your parents' country home this weekend

I think I can go afterall... I'll go

what's the occasion?

it didn't sound like you were too interested and I was a bit hurt

I got it. I'll make a note of it

we'll talk about what time later

let's do that. I'm hanging up.

you don't even say goodnight?

sleep well

the more I get to know you Hyun Woo, the more I realize that you aren't much of a romantic, you know?

Is that so?

You didn't know that?

Yes, I didn't know.

mom

hey Shin Ja, I said let's go together

Okay, hurry up

oh, thank you

I don't think I can go to voice classes anymore. I have to hurry so much every morning

you're going all dressed like that, that's why it takes so long

that's a pot calling a kettle black. what about you?

I'm like this because I'm still young but you are a grandma who's looking at 80 years-old "tomorrow"

why do you always say 80 is just around the corner?

why can't you just say I'm over 70

and an aging woman has to maintain her beauty

okay, I got it. are you going to keep lecturing me?

see you later

okay, see you later

today we have to sing solos but my throat doesn't feel well. I don't think I'll be able to sing

unni, I'm going

Mi Soo Ah.

yes, mom

do you want me to make you some coffee?

no, I have some here

You're not going to the library today but working from home?

you two!

you even exchanged rings?

Even though I forbade you so many times, you still didn't get it through your head?

If you've exchanged rings, what are you saying is going to happen?

you're gonna jump into the fire afterall?

mom

why can't you forget it?

if she could even tell you the truth about your birth mother, you should even know that

why can't you just accept that? How do you expect to bear it?

we love each other too much mom

if she knows that we really love each other

and if she knows that we are truly happy, then she will change

who says that? that she will change? she is not that kind of person

what will you do if she makes it hard for you to the end?

what are you going to do? Do you want to see your mom die?

I can't watch you going to that house and suffering

You receiving nothing but criticism and bad treatment... even if I die, I can't watch that

we will try. we will do everything in our power mom

even being inflicted with an internal sickness would be better than this

why can't you think like that?

that aunt, she will never give you two her blessing

with that kind of temperament, she would be one to drink poison instead

mom

please don't tell us to separate anymore. We made a promise to each other. No matter what, we're staying together.

why did you want to see me?

looks like the kids won't break up even if they die, so what do you want to do?

what do you mean what should we do?

just because they don't break up, does that mean marriage?

did you see that they have exchanged rings?

exchanged or not

why?

did you ask me to come out to ask me to give them my blessing?

I don't have a mind to give them my blessing either

that's good. you and I have nothing to fight about

it didn't seem like the kids will listen to us so I wanted to discuss with you, that's why I called you out

discuss, what discussion? You take care of Mi Soo and I will take care of Young Min. what's there to discuss?

Mi Soo really is not appealing to my eyes

even with a kid, my Young Min can still find someone much better than Mi Soo

I'm not against them because he has a child

I'm against them because of you

what?

I think you will make Mi Soo miserable that's why

I'm afraid of someone who can just scar someone like that

well, you also have put a nail in my heart

didn't you say that I was being that way because I've never given birth to a child?

to a person who's never given birth to a child, you can't say anything worse than that

you're right. I also said something very hurtful

so...

are you going to be against them til the end?

I cannot give them my blessing

if the kids won't break up til the end then what?

I will be against them til the end

did you order black bean sauce noodles?

did you order in black bean sauce noodles?

how are you coming in now after not even telling us where or when you were coming back?

who said I went out because I wanted to

Mi Soo's mom asked me to come out so I went

why did she want to meet?

I cannot believe it

what can't you believe?

ai goo...

say it

she says because of me she can't give them her blessing for the wedding

not because of Joon but because of me

ai goo... I'm thankful

she's not wrong. think about what you've done. why wouldn't she be worried

what'd I do?

don't concern yourself with Young Min's wedding. don't make it hard for him

father

I raised Young Min. I have the right to say something. You think I'm just doing this for no reason?

Leave it to Young Min

let's do it like that

Ah. Wait a minute.

work is work, but the person you exchanged the couple ring with... aren't you going to introduce us?

we're going to die waiting and waiting

I will try to arrange a time

let's make is soon. I'm dying of curiosity

Alright. Alright.

Today, Mi Soo's mom asked your aunt to meet her so she did

she says that she can't give you her blessing because of your aunt

but I don't think that's all she wanted to say

you two haven't changed your minds right?

Yes, grandfather.

when do you want to do it?

if you give us your blessings grandfather, then soon

then, go to Mi Soo's mom and ask for her blessing properly

Grandfather.

do it like that

then you are giving us your blessing grandfather?

I gave you my blessing a long time ago... when I invited Mi Soo over

Thank you, grandfather.

Grandfather told me to go to Mi Soo's house and get their blessing but before I do that, I would like to get your blessing first aunt

your grandfather said that?

Yes.

is this all I get for raising you?

20 years of raising you and this is it?

Honey.

Father-in-law said to do that so you just...

I'm the only one everyone wants to kill huh?

ai goo... how can a person be so...

I might as be living corpse in this house. I'm not even considered human around here

that's so severe. why would you say something like that?

You think about it. I have a reason to be against the marriage. why would I just do this?

Aunt.

can't you just think that you are losing for my sake?

you used to do that when I was little. When I would be really stubborn, you would lose for my sake

please lose this one time

that's right. when you were growing up, you were very stubborn

I remember. you didn't want to wear your pjs and your aunt said it was cold so wear them. you fought and fought but in the end your aunt lost

Aunt.

please lose, just this one last time

there will never be another incident like this

you raised me and looked after all the important things in my life all this time. I don't want to do this without your blessing

what's the point of my blessing? your grandfather has already given his

don't you know Young Min's heart?

to Young Min, that's not it

Oh! Be quiet!

do whatever you want!

be fair, be fair. If you act that way, what if you get kicked out by father-in-law?

isn't it fine if Young Min is happy

I mean, after losing a daughter-in-law like Seo Young, how can I accept someone like Mi Soo?

she has nothing to redeem herself

You were upset at Seo Young before and now again you're saying a daughter-in-law like Seo Young?!?

well that was because she was going to abort the baby

do you think that just anybody can run a college?

but with that personality, she wouldn't be a daughter-in-law but your superior but that's fine with you?

oh shut up. just stay out of it

Mi Soo shi.

I was going to stop by your house for a little bit tomorrow. Will you be home?

our house?

I'll stop by for a little bit

then do you want to call me when you get here?

what's going on?

you said you would call

I could come alone so I didn't call

just a moment. My mom is home so let me say goodbye and go

I came to see your mother

what!

I came to see your mother

mom?

did someone come?

I'm here

What are you doing here?

I came to receive your blessing to get married

I met with my grandfather and he told me to come get your blessing

did you aunt give her blessing?

she didn't give her blessing but she won't go against my grandfather's wishes

I love Misoo.

please give us your blessing.

I don't know what to do that.

can you really promise me that you and Misoo will be happy together?

Yes.

I promise

gently, gently, you have to make it gently.. you try

gently?

gently

smoothly

yes, yes, smoothly

you catch on really quickly

gently

do you want to try it?

ahhh

mmmm! que rico!

querico?

it's really delicious! que rico!

que rico. delicious! que rico!

give me that container there, the container

que rico?

Wait a moment.

why? do you have something to ask me?

What is this?

can you look this over? It's a letter I wrote to my mom. It's the first time I've written it in korean.

you wrote it in korean?

it's my first time. if there are any wrong words, please correct it for me

Alright.

mom, for the first time, I'm writing to you in your native language

Pablo is doing well

and I'm working now at a potato soup place

I'm doing fine so please don't worry about me

mom you just stay healthy

did you receive the hanbok I sent you?

my coworker named Mi Sun went with me to buy it

I'm working very hard so please wait patiently for the day when you and I can live together in Korea

I'm working very hard so please wait patiently for the day when you and I can live together in Korea

i miss you mom...

and i love you.

te amo mucho ma! (I love you very much mom - in spanish)

it's not "gam jyun" but gam ja. And here,

it's soom, not sum

is it all wrong?

oh no, you wrote it really well

I'll correct it

so it's I'm writing this letter, not bag this letter

writing this letter

potato soup

you mean he came to ask properly for your blessing?

Yes.

then, our Mi Soo is going to get married?

you mean you really gave your blessing afterall?

you're going to give Mi Soo to Young Min?

that makes no sense!

it makes perfect sense. the man is handsome and doing well and he loves our Mi Soo. that's good enough

she has to raise another person's child and have to deal with a evil aunt

that's enough. we all know that

I was also not going to give them my blessing because of Young Ok but they say they are happy and that they believe she will change her mind so what could I do

but that's what Young Min thinks

do you really believe that Mi Soo will be happy?

she says she's happy now

she says she can't live without him so they should get married. to separate people who can't live without each other is a sin, a sin

oh our mom.. when it comes to love..

there is nothing more precious than love

Mi Soo says she is happy so Shin Ja, you also give them your blessing too

I'm so happy

I feel like we've said we're happy too many times today

but I think I will say it more when I'm asleep

Thank you.

for waiting patiently through all the difficult and hard times

and also

for not throwing me away no matter what

I love you.

I love you too.

Father-in-law, today's Sunday. Aren't you going to take Joon to the baths?

we should go

Young Min should be busy so we'll exclude him

I'm fine grandfather

then the three of us can go then

don't you have to get things ready for your wedding?

when are you planning on getting married that you are already busy now?

grandfather I have something to discuss with you

tell me

our house

you mean this house?

Yes.

as the house is so old, I've thought of new designs

you want to build a new house?

Yes.

I've made up a design and I wanted to see what you thought of it grandfather

you want to tear this house down and build a new one?

Yes.

oh if you build a new one that would be great

it's just that it will cost some money that's all

how much will it cost?

as we have the land and since I'm doing it myself, it will cost less and the fixtures, we have uncle for that

since we are doing it ourselves on our own land, I think it will cost..... (?)

and where will we live while you build the house?

what do you mean where? hotel, motel, wherever

when are you going to get married and when are you going to build the house?

you want to build the new house and then get married huh?

you are really dreaming up some big dreams

I would like to get married in May

If it's May then you don't even have 3 months, so how do you expect to build a house by then?

If you give me your permission grandfather, I want to start building the house in May too

so the wedding in May and the house in May

if we are to build a house, we'll have to move for a bit, so we can get married then and whether we rent or lease, we can live that way for a bit

do you mean separately?

yes.

after the house is built, we can move back in together

that is not a bad idea.

can't you get married after the house is built?

then he has to wait until Autumn

How much longer before autumn

my room is on the 2nd floor

2nd floor?

grandfather's room is on the 1st floor

how do you know that?

I saw it, on the miniature that dad made

he saw the model I made

do you really have to build a house?

can't we just live the way we are now? when you get married, you can live in your room

the house is old and I'll feel more like it's my new home after getting married since I would've designed it

and on top of that, getting married

you have enough money?

you need money for construction and also for living elsewhere while it's being built

I think I can manage it

figure out the cost. I have money that I was going to give you to buy a house

oh right. then it looks like that will work

what time are you going?

we said we'd call

Let's see..

why don't you wear this?

if you go too formal it'll be awkward but this seems casual but still appropriate

I think it'll be good to wear this. don't you?

Okay.

What is father doing?

he's looking at the map and checking out a driving route

you're going for a drive?

Yes, Su Jin.

Really.

I'm okay with that..

you don't have to worry about me

I don't know how this kind of thing could happen

there's never really something that comes up at the office on a Sunday

I'm really sorry, especially for the first invitation to turn out like this

it seems like someone is against me meeting up with you

then how can something like this happen?

you're not mad at me right?

of course not, never

I can go another time

hurry and go take care of whatever you need to

Okay!

why? you can't go?

Yes.

all of a sudden, something came up at work she has to take care of

I mean, how can someone invite someone and then do that?

she was saying that maybe someone was trying to block us

how can she do this after inviting you?

it's not like she did it on purpose. what can she do?

it doesn't matter

still you can't feel good about it either

don't worry about me and have a good drive with dad.

instead of doing that, why don't you come out with us and go eat

it's a no thank you

then what are you going to do?

I wonder

why can't I just do nothing?

Joon...

I have something to tell you

yes?

I am going to marry Aunt Mi Soo

I know.

One reason why I wanted to marry Aunt Mi Soo is that she loves you Joon

I also like Aunt Mi Soo

When you marry Aunt Mi Soo, she will become my mom right?

and if I get a mom then she can become a preschool mother

of course!

Do you like that she'll be your mom?

Yes.

May?

That's what I had in mind but tell me what you're thinking.

Why did you choose May?

because September or October was too far away

it looks like we'll be really busy

you don't think we have plenty of time but that we will be too busy?

a woman has many things to do

keep it simple and organized

you pick the wedding date

between May 1 and May 30th

and when we marry, I'm going to rebuild our house

so until the new house is rebuilt, we'll lease an apartment

What do you think? is it alright?

I'll ask my mother

do that

May?

May? That sounds good.

It's not too early and it's not too late. Nowadays, it's not as if you do the weddings at home so why wait til fall?

I think we'll be really busy getting all the wedding preparations ready

if it was one month then we'd be busy but with 3 months, what's there to do that we'll be so busy?

getting all the wedding gifts ready is not a laughing matter

just the household items alone are tv, refrigerator, washer/dryer. then there are items for the bedrooms, dressers, bed and they have to be a set. it's very overwhelming

mom, I want to do it really simply. Just what we really need only

that's everything you really need

then are you going to live with them or on your own?

we didn't really discuss that yet but I don't think we'll be living separately

then since they already have a house (with everything in it), you don't have to buy anything (for them)

you really think they'd leave it at that?

I'm sure they won't accept that. There's definitely items that the daughter-in-law needs to buy for them

right. Why would there be a saying that if you have three daughters you will be ruined if there weren't such customs.

mom, I don't need all that. Just buy what we need.

I've heard that weddings can even be cancelled because of all these expenses.

there's many

Hello.

have a seat.

did I call you out when you're busy?

no, I'm okay

you must really be something to receive permission to get married

usually when there are people against a marriage, it's one-sided but

this is one that both sides are against

Yes.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I asked you out to say please take good care of Mi Soo

I will.

You already know where I stand so I came to see you

You know that I have been against this wedding from the beginning right?

To be honest, I still wish that Mi Soo would not go through with this wedding

thinking about how difficult her life will be

I will work hard to not make you worry like that

since I came all this way to come find you, please make sure you make Mi Soo happy

Yes, I understand.

Keep your promise okay?

Thank you for giving birth to Mi Soo

I wanted to say these words to you

Ah, it's Shin Ja.

I'm sure you're busy but could you meet me?

Now why would you say it that way? What do you mean "would you meet me?"

You are more important to me than anything else

If you say so, I would go to the end of the world for you

Thank you.

Knowing I have someone like you Mr. Goh is such a tremendous support

what's the matter? did something happen?

Your mood seems to be different than other occasions

I'm a little sad

If you are sad then my heart aches too so that's not alright

what ever is wrong please tell me.

just meeting up with you lightens my mood immensely

thank you.

it's been awhile.

what do you mean it's been a while?

that's how I feel

I know it's a coffee mug but let's toast

what have you been doing?

nothing really comes to mind. You?

I received permission to get married

I'm getting married in May

we don't have the exact date yet

let's toast again

congratulations.
