Original subtitles

You're busy. You shouldn't have come.

I missed you.

I also wanted to say thank you.

Thank you

for helping me find my father.

Don't mention it.

Even if I didn't tell you,

you would've found out about it one day.

You are his daughter after all.

Doran.

Make sure

to pretend that you don't know

until your father tells you.

Okay.

Even to your husband, Yujin,

or to anybody, alright?

Don't worry.

I won't say a word to anyone.

All right.

Now that I've told you about your father,

I can go for the operation without any worries.

Even if I end up dying, I won't feel sorry for you.

Why would you say something like that?

Everything will be fine.

You will regain your health.

I hope so.

For Yujin,

I must regain my health.

Don't worry.

Grandma.

Do you know

why my dad wants to hide who he is

from me?

Doran.

That's...

Doran.

You found your dad. Isn't that enough?

Your dad must have

a reason behind it.

Apart from anything else,

he left you when you were a baby.

How can he come back for you?

So don't look back upon your

painful memory.

A nice man like him

must've been so desperate

that he had to abandon you.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

How did you...

Grandma.

Why did you meet Doran?

Since when did you start seeing her?

What did you say to her?

How much did you tell her about me?

Mr. Kang. Well...

Ma'am...

Why did you tell her?

You promised me that you'd hide it forever.

Why did you tell her?

I'm getting surgery

for my stomach cancer tomorrow.

I thought that I'd regret it

if I end up dying.

So I told her.

Are you

undergoing a surgery?

Yes.

I was going to take it to my grave too.

But my granddaughter is friends with Doran.

I went to Doran's wedding

and saw you.

Do you know how surprised I was?

How could you try to have her by your side...

and keep it to yourself?

She had no idea. Don't you feel bad for her?

Ma'am.

This still isn't right.

You know why I couldn't tell Doran.

Look, Mr. Kang.

I'm the only one in the world

who knows your secret.

I might end up dying soon.

So don't mind it

and have her in your life.

Ma'am.

This still isn't right.

What you did is seriously wrong.

If you really cared about her,

you never should've told her.

If Doran

finds out everything about me,

she will...

be miserable.

Miserable...

All right.

I just need to disappear again.

If she ever comes to you

and asks about me again,

please tell her that you don't know

and that I'm not the one.

Please do this favor for me.

Wait, Mr. Kang!

Mr. Kang!

Where...

Where did he run off to?

Oh, goodness gracious.

The phone is turned off.

The call is being forwarded...

Why is her phone turned off?

What am I supposed to do?

Is he really going to disappear like this?

Oh, no.

You could've come down when the dinner is ready.

You just came back from work. Aren't you tired?

I'm okay. You two did all the job

and I'm just helping you to set the table.

Ms. Kim. Can you come and taste the stew?

Okay.

Excuse me.

Yes.

It's hot.

It's delicious. It's not salty at all.

You should season it like this.

Your family doesn't like salty food.

Okay.

Does Mr. Kang have separate meals?

He used to have meals with us at first,

but these days he eats alone in his room

with the side dishes we make for him.

I see.

It must be more comfortable for him

to eat alone there.

I see.

I should be more attentive to him

since he works hard for the family.

You don't have to worry about that.

We take care of him, so don't mind any of it.

- I see. / - I'm home.

You're here, Doran.

Didn't you say

there was a team dinner after the meeting?

My colleague had plans so we postponed it.

Doran.

You got many calls from Yujin's grandma.

- It seemed quite urgent. / - Yujin's grandma?

(10 missed calls from Yujin's grandma)

Let me go make a call for a second.

It's me.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

The battery was dead so I was charging it.

What should we do about this?

What's going on?

Doran, your dad found out.

I'm not sure how he found out.

He visited me right after you left.

What?

Did Mr. Kang found out?

Yes, he said I shouldn't have told you

and that he'd leave.

What should we do? Doran, go stop him.

Stop him

before your dad leaves.

Well... Okay.

No.

What happened?

No way.

Did Mr. Kang really...

I'm sorry, Madam Park and Chairman Wang.

I must leave urgently

without saying goodbye due to a reason.

I'll call you soon in the future.

And I will repay your kindness no matter what.

Thank you for everything.

I'm truly sorry.

No.

No.

Mr. Kang.

No.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang, wait.

Mr. Kang.

Dad, wait!

Dad.

Dad, don't go.

Dad.

Dad.

What do you mean by that?

Let me go.

I know that you're my dad.

Where are you going without me again?

Please don't go.

Ms. Kim!

I'm not your dad!

Your dad is Kim Dongcheol!

I'm not your dad. So let go of me.

- Taxi! / - No.

No! Dad!

Taxi.

Dad.

Doran...

Doran...

Please don't leave.

Please don't leave, Dad.

Dad.

I'm not your dad.

So, don't be like this.

I know that you're my dad.

I even compared our DNA.

You're my dad and I'm your daughter.

Why do you keep saying that we aren't?

You were by my side all along.

Why do you keep denying it?

I'm...

I'm not your dad.

I abandoned you as a baby.

I didn't raise you

or look for you.

How does that make me your dad?

A dad can't that.

Dad.

I won't ask any questions.

And I won't blame you for anything.

So please just don't leave me.

Please don't.

You're better off without

a dad like me.

If I stay around you,

you'll be unhappy.

That's why.

No.

I don't care if I become unhappy, Dad.

No.

It's okay if I must call you Mr. Kang forever.

So...

please don't leave, Dad.

Doran.

Dad.

You promised me.

That you won't go anywhere.

Answer me.

Tell me that you won't leave secretly.

Okay.

I promise.

- But... / - Nothing has changed

between you and I.

So

we can go on as we did so far.

Let's not part.

Let's stay close to each other.

Looking at each other.

Other than the fact

that you're my father, I don't care about the rest.

So,

don't try to explain anything.

I can understand all of it.

You and I are

each other's only relative in this world.

Thank you.

Please enjoy the food.

It looks good.

- Eat up. / - Okay.

You first.

You were in the cold.

Okay.

I forgot the chili powder.

Do you want some chili powder?

Spicy food is good on a cold day.

That's right.

The reason why he had to abandon me as a baby,

I won't ask about it

until he tells me.

I'll pretend to ignore

his painful past.

We met again like this

and that's all that matters.

Am I the last one down?

Sorry.

- You're not the last one. / - Where's Doran?

I think she went out because something came up.

Do you think she went out?

Did she not tell you that she was leaving?

Well,

Her close friend's grandma has surgery tomorrow

for cancer and she called urgently.

A close friend's grandma?

Did she go out to see a close friend's grandma?

Not a close friend's mom or dad

but for a grandma?

My gosh. That's just unbelievable.

I think they're really close, Mom.

It's possible if it's a close friend's grandma.

And the surgery is for cancer.

I mean

she's still a newlywed and the adults are home.

This is why one's upbringing is important.

- Mom. / - Honey.

Okay, fine.

Enough of that tiresome topic.

Let's all eat.

- Eat, Mother. / - Let's eat, Mother.

Daya, try this. The cockles are good.

- Okay. / - You evil mistress.

What? "One's upbringing"?

Are you a mistress because you were brought up well?

- Mother! / - Don't do it, Mother!

- Mother. / - Since Myeonghui's out,

are you stuffing your little brat instead?

You wench. That mistress.

- Mother. / - Grandma.

- I'll just... / - Grandma!

Grandma!

- Mother. / - Boys!

Get them out of here.

- Mother. / - Get out.

- Please, calm down. / - Grandma.

Let go. They'd better not come back in here.

I'll pull all their hair out.

Dad, where's Myeonghui?

Myeonghui loves seasoned cockles

and those wenches ate it all up.

Dad, where's Myeonghui?

- Where is she? / - Mother.

Daeryuk, call Ms. Kim, I mean Doran. Go on.

- Okay. / - Mother.

- Grandma. / - Myeonghui.

- Mother. / - Where is she?

- The wenches ate it all. / - He went to call her.

She'll be here soon.

Can we have more pickled radish?

- Pickled radish? / - Yes.

Okay.

- Hello? / - Where are you?

Grandma's looking for Myeonghui.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Grandma's looking for Myeonghui. I should go.

Wait. That's heavy.

- I'll carry the bag. / - No, I will.

I won't go anywhere.

I promised.

- Go on inside. / - You promised me.

That you won't leave me behind.

Don't worry and go inside.

Dad, what's taking Myeonghui so long?

Is she really on her way?

Wait.

Did she get in an accident?

No, Mother, she's on her way.

- Myeonghui. / - I'm so sorry.

- I'm sorry. / - Myeonghui.

What took you so long?

Myeonghui.

The mistress and her daughter

almost ate up the cockles that you like so much.

The cockles?

Dad. Second-floor bachelor.

Now that Myeonghui's here,

let's go and eat the cockles with rice.

- Let's go, Myeonghui. / - Okay.

We can't even eat in peace because of Grandma.

Shall I bring your food to your room?

There's no other choice.

You and the second-floor bachelor can join them.

How much longer must we put up with this?

I'll eat with Mom and Daya.

I can't let him do this.

I must stop him.

Yes. You're where?

Okay, I'll be right out.

Gorae.

- Where are you going? / - To see a friend.

A friend?

Who?

A guy?

Of course.

I'll see you later.

My goodness! What do I do?

Hongsil.

Gosh. What's wrong?

Gorae just went out to see a guy.

I have to see who he is.

Hongsil, I'm coming with you.

- Gorae. / - Hey.

Hey, how have you been?

I've been good.

Oh my gosh.

I think that's him!

Hongsil.

Hongsil.

I know you're upset, but stop crying.

Gorae wouldn't have wanted to do that.

Just think that it's fate and accept the reality.

You are Gorae's mom.

Even if the whole world throw stones at him,

you have to understand him.

You have to stay strong.

You can't crack up like this.

You have to keep it a secret.

Keep it to your grave.

If you tell anyone about this,

my son's life will be over.

Okay. Of course, I will keep it a secret.

It's really hard to live as a sexual minority

in this country.

I can't tell anyone.

My son, Gorae. You poor thing.

Hongsil, we still have to

accept this and support his love.

Otherwise, Gorae will have a hard time.

What should I do with Gorae now?

Cheers.

Gorae, how is your clinic going?

I heard it is going very well.

Not really. It's just like yours.

Gosh, I'm having such a hard time.

After another dental clinic moved in,

we lost a lot of patients.

Hey, just go out and look around.

Every other building has a dental clinic.

It's hard for us to make ends meet.

Gorae.

Can't you hire me as a paid doctor?

Things are so tough these days.

What are you talking about? It's all the same.

Come on. Let's just have one more round.

Excuse me. More beer, please.

Okay.

(River)

All right. Cheers.

He never calls or texts me.

Even though it's a contractual relationship,

shouldn't he at least text me once?

What? Is he playing games again?

Yangsoon!

I'm glad that you're here. Have a seat.

I love your restaurant. It's so clean and nice.

I'm so jealous.

How did you open up a branch like this?

The first restaurant went pretty well

and I didn't need much money to open a branch.

- Really? / - Yes.

You can easily open a restaurant too.

I'm looking to work hard and make some money.

Are you sure you will hire me as an employee?

Not just an employee.

Are you interested in running this restaurant?

- What? / - I'm caught up with

the first restaurant. I can't look after this branch.

But it's not like I can't ask anyone to run it.

So are you saying I'm not just an employee,

but the manager of the restaurant?

Yes.

I think I can trust you with this.

My goodness. Thank you so much.

I promise that I'll make it up to you.

I will work hard as if this is my own restaurant.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, whose call are you waiting for?

- Is it that jobless guy? / - No.

I think it is.

Miran, you can never date a guy like him.

You may think it's just once or twice,

but you will end up falling for him.

What if he clings onto you and never breaks up?

Mom, don't worry about that.

It's nothing serious.

We will just casually date and break up

if I meet someone that I can marry.

That's why we are on a contractual basis.

He's a nice jobless guy. Don't worry about it.

A nice jobless guy?

Isn't a nice jobless guy also a man?

If a woman dates a wrong guy,

it will ruin her life in an instant. You know that?

Gosh, Yangja. Are you scolding Miran again?

Aunt. I can't put up with Mom anymore.

Yangja. She should date a lot of guys

before getting married.

Then she can find the right guy for marriage.

My gosh.

If you never try, you'll never know.

A girl who dates a lot of guys finds the good guy.

All right. So is that why you met such a guy

and ended up like this?

My goodness.

Why are you taking it out on me now?

Gosh, I'm so upset.

What's all this?

I'm a widow and you're a divorcee.

My goodness.

So how did the job hunting go?

Yangja,

I've become a manager of a pizza joint.

What? a manager?

How?

The owner of the restaurant is my friend.

She asked me to run the branch.

It's not like I'm the owner,

but still, I'm a manager now.

Gosh, are you serious?

I won't ask you anything.

And I won't blame you for anything.

So please just don't leave me.

Who is it?

It's me.

Why are you still up at this hour?

I wanted to get you this.

What is this?

It's jujube tea.

Drink it when it's warm before going to bed.

It helps you sleep.

I heard jujube tea is good in winter.

Thank you. I'll enjoy it.

But

you can't do this again.

What if someone sees you?

Don't worry.

Everyone's asleep.

Go back to your room and sleep.

What if your husband wakes up

and looks for you?

Don't go anywhere

while I'm asleep.

Were you worried about that?

I promised you at the noodle restaurant.

That I'll stay with you.

Are you...

Are you sure?

Yes.

So, go back and sleep.

Then...

Good night, Dad.

Doran.

Still...

When we are alone like this,

I'll call you Dad.

Good night, Dad.

Dad.

I found my birth father.

You'll be happy for me, right?

What?

You surprised me.

You scared me.

I'm sorry.

Why would you sneak in?

I didn't want to wake you.

Doran.

Where are you coming from?

Me?

- I was in the kitchen. / - What?

I was just there looking for you.

I came back up because you weren't there.

I was in the kitchen

but I went out for air.

Is that so?

You should've woke me up.

You shouldn't go out by yourself at night.

All right?

All right.

But why did you wake up?

How can I go to bed without you by my side?

Okay, let's go to bed.

Let me just go brush my teeth.

Dad.

Good night.

I'm glad

that I met you today.

It feels like I'm dreaming.

Thank you.

Good night, Doran.

The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it is.

Is Doran acting the lord or what?

She faints and disappears whenever.

(The next episode will continue soon.)
