Are you really an empty shell?

Are you really nothing but an empty shell of a man?

Are you... able to shed tears for me?

Are you able cry about what we've been through?

I realized today that you are a man who can sacrifice his own life for Mi Soo.

I realized that the person in front of me is really a ghost. A ghost.

Why are you being this way? Why?

Why am I?

I saw you dropping off Mi Soo at her house.

Your cell phone wasn't working

and after you called me from a pay phone early this morning

lying about what you had been doing,

I saw you coming home in the car together with Mi Soo

So the two of you deceitfully spent the night together and I witnessed you saying goodbye to each other

If you need me to explain....

There's no need

Can you tell me why you cried like that after letting Mi Soo out?

You were crying so hard that I also cried

But you are still a person who keeps his promises so that's why you were going to marry me. I know.

I will get a ghost

I will get an empty shell

An empty shell, a ghost who would no longer remember tears, or feelings or people

It's not your fault Young Min. You were clear with me.

You said you didn't love me and if I was still fine with that then let's get married.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect this

I thought that if you just came back to me, everything would be fine.

so that's why it's not your fault

I'm going to get rid of the ghost.

I'm going to throw away the empty shell.

I'm going to throw away the ghost. I'm throwing away the empty shell.

I would be too pathetic living with an empty shell.

I no longer have the confidence to be Jang Hyun Woo's wife

or mother-in-law's daughter-in-law

No, I'll tell you truthfully

I just want to leave that alone

What do you mean by that?

You are a very important person to me but

I can't go on living asking for permission to breathe just because of you

I want to live comfortably too

Mi Soo, what are you doing? Your article? Is it going well?

It's alright. I feel comfortable

What are you going to do tomorrow?

I'm going to Director Yu's office. I have a feature .next month

Oh, alright. Sleep well, Mi Soo

Mom

Oh, I couldn't sleep. Why? Did you want to drink coffee?

What have you been doing instead of sleeping?

I was writing up my interview. Mom, are you doing this because you are upset about me?

I wonder if it wasn't my fault

If I hadn't gone to your house that day

then nothing like this would've happened

No mom

If I hadn't gone that day, then you wouldn't have had a reason to hear harsh things from your mother-in-law

and you wouldn't have had anything like this happen

If it wasn't that, there would've been something else

Can you really live on your own?

can you live without Hyun Woo?

Yes Mom

Do you want to go to your brother's?

No, I will not run away.

Mom, don't be upset

Your daughter.. I will do what I want to do, on my own

Alright. I wouldn't want you to become a ghost in their house just because you got married.

I also don't like you living like that.

Thank you mom

Are you able to shed any tears for me?

Are you able to cry over all that we've been through?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Did you have a good weekend Director Han?

Yes

Wasn't our director a bit lost since Friday?

I am going to be a bit lost today too so don't search for me.

But answer your phone at least because it's so frustrating

Alright.

Oh, hello.

She's not here right now. She went out.

Where did she go?

I don't know.

If you didn't have me in your life, your life would only be blessed

look at me carefully

my love for you has already gone, I have another woman's child

and I have loved another woman but have failed. I'm nobody.

I'm... I'm someone who isn't able to start something new again.

I'm a person who's like a ghost.

What is it that you want? What do you want?

For you to love me.

That's not possible. I'm an empty shell. Are you saying that you want an empty shell?

I.. don't love you. Why would you entrust your life to someone like this?

Please go back to the way you were

Mom, I'm going out

where are you going?

to an interview. I have a feature

You've finished with your article?

Yes. I've already sent the article by email.

Grandmother, I'll see you later

okay.

Hurry and go

I'll be back

What brings you here? You don't need to be anywhere today?

Yes

Have you been in touch with New Child?

Yes, last night

Why don't you meet her today and have some food or go watch a movie together?

She said she has an assignment today.

Oh is that so?

Father, I know I had mentioned living separately but what do you think about me studying abroad?

I suppose that is also a possibility but

you know that this isn't something that will resolve our feelings

Please convince mother for me father. As you know that mother doesn't want to see Mi Soo

the only options are living separately or studying abroad

that's true.... I also don't think that rather than having fights all the time, that might be an alright option

if only your mom could be convinced of such things. She gets so upset just thinking about you living separately

I think she'd be even more upset about you going to study abroad

Well, regardless, let's take some time and give it a try

Please talk to mother for me father

did you have a good meeting?

yes

Let's go study abroad. I'm just getting back from talking to my father about it

Why? I thought that studying abroad would be better than living separately from my parents

While we study, a lot of time will pass and during that time, mother's heart might change

It's possible that it won't change because she has her mind set about me

I feel that even if time passes she won't change her mind

Why are you thinking that way already? Why are you already designating that will happen?

Hyun Woo, just allow me to live as Cho Mi Soo.

When I left the house, I left knowing that I might have to give you up

Even if the sky were to fall or the mountains to crumble down, we can never break up

I would like to just live like this Hyun Woo

If you won't consider studying abroad or living separately then would you prefer that I give up on my parents?

Jang Hyun Woo, do you really believe that I want that to happen?

I don't want you to become that kind of son.

I don't want to become a daughter-in-law that divides a son from his mother

then what do you want me to do?

You have been so good to me all this time

can't you just consider this the last thing you do for me?

one last time

how can you be so natural?

Me breaking up with you is my being good to you one last time?

I'm sorry Hyun Woo

It's fine if you're sorry

I have plans Hyun Woo

I'll take you

I'll go alone

I've been relying on you all this time

but now I want to do things on my own

Oh you're home

Han Young Min came by

and he called twice here because he said he couldn't reach you on your cell phone

please give me ice

Okay

I just got home. Why are you looking for me?

Let's talk when we see each other. I'll go over there now.

Why? Did you come to make sure because you couldn't believe it?

I have released the hand of the empty shell... so he can be free.

I guess this is what they mean by being blinded by love.

I was so blinded that I didn't realize that you were just an empty shell.

even when you told me "I'm just an empty shell", even when you told you didn't love me

I just thought to myself that it wasn't true and believed it.

I'm sorry. However if we had gotten married, I would've tried my best. I was meaning to do that.

You were a man who sacrificed his life to protect his love Cho Mi Soo

it may be unbelievable but isn't it true?

Yes, I admit that.

Love like that exists but I have been holding on to an empty shell.

It's fine. Farewell.

There's no need to try to figure out what you should say. Let me help you with that.

Don't tell me you're sorry. Don't tell me to be happy. Just leave.

Mi Soo, let me know if you need anything. I'll bring it to you.

Oh, if there is a book that you need, tell me. Hold on a second.

Oh, what clothes would you like me to bring you?

I figured that if you are going to be at your mother's for the time being you'd need some clothes.

Ok, I got it. Hey Hyun Woo. Right now, I just got out of an interview for a new position.

From this month on, I've been assigned the monthly interview.

What does that mean? Do you mean that you are a staff writer instead of freelance?

Director Yu said that there are so many magazines that she has to worry about so she asked me to take this on.

Even though it'll be a more hectic job, I told her that I would do it.

If I want to do that I need to be a part of headquarters.

Oh, that's great. Tell me if you need me to help you with anything, whether it's taking a picture or fact checking

You said you'd keep your mind open right? Thank you.

Grandfather, is taekwondo fun?

It's fun. It's exercise, discipline and it keeps your your alert too.

Your grandfather is good right?

Yes you are, but when we're doing a big move, you don't make enough noise.

When you punch with your left hand first, you're supposed to yell "tae, kwon".

tae, kwon, like that?

Your stance is all wrong. I said you need to stand like this.

and you need to put your fist by your hip

Don't worry about it. If I practice a little more, your grandfather will be good at it.

We're home.

It's hot right?

-It's hot. Joon, go wash your hands. -okay

Father, shall I make nangmyun (soba noodles in cold soup) for dinner?

oh no, no. I would like some sangyupsal (grilled thinly slice pork). I think I need to eat some meat after expending all that energy at taekwondo class.

Okay, I got it father. Then I'm going to the market father.

Okay, I got it. See you later.

-Mom -Mom

Oh, you're came?

the potato stew was delicious

did you enjoy your food?

Yes, have a good night.

Dad!

You came?

Yes

Please make some fried rice.

for me too

I got it. Daddy will make it delicious okay? Go sit down.

Okay

Aigoo, my babies are here.

Mom, give us one of the coupons we gave you on parents' day.

Oh that? Oh, okay, I will.

Hey Sis, we still have one more right?

Yes

Hey, how come for grandmother and great grandmother, you give them coupons for massages and errands

but for me, you give me coupons where I have to do things for you?

Remember you and dad told us before

that it makes you happy and full just to see us eating well

so that's why as you watch us eating fried rice, we're making you and dad happy, that's all

aigoo, my pretty little girls

just wait a little bit

let's go sit down

I'm back

Oh, you came?

Mom, I bought some soon dae. Where's grandmother?

She's taking a nap.

Mom, I'm starting a job starting next month.

a job?

I'm going to be in charge of a feature every month

So I'm no longer freelance but a staff writer.

So you're not just going to be given assignments but that you will be coming up with them on your own?

Yes

Isn't that too big of a job?

It's something huge for me but I'm still going to do it. I'm going to do my best.

That's right. Try your best.

Aigoo, I slept well. Are you not going to make dinner?

I will. Why? Are you feeling peckish?

That's right. It hasn't been that long since I've eat lunch so why am I hungry?

Grandmother, I bought soondae. Do you eat soondae?

oh, yes, that's great, you did great.

oh, let's see. But if I eat a lot of this now then I probably won't eat much dinner right?

You can just eat a little bit at dinner.

oh, alright. let's see, let's see.. .mmmm, it's delicious. pour out a little salt too.

aigoo, hey, I must have sang so much in my sleep because my throat is dry. Go get me something to drink.

you're saying that you sang so much in your dreams that your throat is dry?

then why would my throat be dry then?

Mom, really...

bring over a plate

Oh honey. It's me. You're going to come home early today right?

Father said he wanted to eat sangyupsal so I'm going to grill some sangyupsal so I'm calling to say come home early.

Sangyupsal? Why does father want to eat sangyupsal all of a sudden?

He says that his energy is being drained by doing taekwondo.

Of course it is. He hasn't been doing much until now.

aigoo, I got it. I will come home early.

Please eat a lot father.

Don't worry.

It's dad

it looks like it

Dad, you're home?

Yes. Are you eating dinner?

Yes

I'm home.

Welcome. Hey, we just started eating.

hurry and sit down.

Okay

You should tell him father.

It's not me. Young Min says he has something to say.

Is that so?

Hey, I'm afraid of what you have to say again.

Me too. What is it?

Seo Young and I decided not to get married.

What the?

What does that mean?

You're not getting married again? What kind of act is this?

Hey, now, we are not even surprised by anything.

hey, hey, hey, Young Min, talk to us

I'm saying that I'm not going to go through with a wedding when I do not love Seo Young

how long ago was it when you said you would?

I mean, when was it that you insisted you would marry her when we begged you not to and now you're not?

It's all my fault.

After this, are you going to say you're going to get married again?

We're not going to do that.

How do you know that?

Just end it here. When you said you were going to marry Seo Young, I was very angry.

If you told him then strongly that he could not marry her then this would not have happened.

I regret it, I regret it. Come to your senses. What kind of nonsense is this?

I'm sorry.

Seo Young

Is she out?

I don't know why she is hiding out like this.

Isn't she sleeping?

Would she not pick up her phone because she's sleeping?

Hey, why haven't you been answering your phone? Didn't the ahjumma say that we had called?

She did

Then how come you didn't call us? Why would we have come here at this time of night if your father wasn't concerned?

Did something happen?

Hey, hey, hey, Seo Young

be careful Seo Young

Father

please sit father. I'm sorry

what's the matter?

Just as you wanted, you've decided on a date

and the child will be raised by his grandfather so

what is the matter?

did you fight because he couldn't make it on Saturday?

S, S, Seo Young

Father... Mom.... I got rid of Han Young Min

wh, wh, what?

I'm not getting married. I thought he was a jewel so I worked really hard but he was just an empty box

what are you talking about?

it's a relief that you figured this out sooner rather than later.

Honey

it's good that you stopped things here

What are you saying after coming all this way? Is that why you have been drinking?

Mom

This is something to congratulate me for. I drank to congratulate myself.

Hyun Woo came to see me this morning

did he ask you to live separately?

He said he would like to go study abroad with Mi Soo

Honey, I think that could be an alternative too. What do you think about sending them to study abroad? I think that rather than having them live separately and having bigger problems, I think we can get through things better that way

Let's think about it

Hey, Honey

Did Mi Soo tell you to do that?

What are you talking about?

Did Mi Soo ask you to go study abroad?

Mi Soo doesn't even know about it

I thought of it and asked father

Mi Soo doesn't know about it?

No, Mi Soo actually said we couldn't do that

Mi Soo said she wouldn't go but you said you wanted to go?

What are you lacking in that you are stuck to Mi Soo like that?

Mother

I'm trying to figure out what I can do so that I don't have to break up with the woman that I love

You don't care about your mother but it's always about Mi Soo only?

I'm saying this because I'm thinking about you too mother

because I thought you would be more comfortable not looking at Mi Soo

and I also thought that after some time had passed, the prejudices that you have against Mi Soo might get better

Prejudice? Did you say prejudice? You're saying that what I think about that child is prejudice?

How is that child's birth and past my prejudice?

and she is also someone who left home

she leaves whenever she wants and returns whenever she wants and you call that my prejudice?

Mother, how long would you like for us to be apart?

If you don't accept Mi Soo, then I have no choice but to leave too

Alright. Leave.

Mother! Mother

Mother, mother, mother!
