(Episode 23)

Here you go.

I don't know if you'll like it,

but take a look.

This is a bit too much.

It just feels wrong.

I can't accept this, Chairman Hwang.

Can't I even buy this much for the woman I'll be with forever?

What do you mean?

I'm...

not a man of patience.

Those who are successful in life tend to cut right to the chase.

Think it over all you want,

but I'd like an answer as soon as possible.

Before I met Byun Ho's father,

I was quite the catch.

Men fell head over heels for me.

I have no doubt, Mother.

That was all before my time though.

Excuse me for a second.

Go ahead.

Why is he like that?

Mother, please dig in.

Don't bother waiting tables at bars...

and live a life that suits you.

Gosh, thank you for the meal.

I'm full and can't take another single bite.

Let's go, Blessing. Don't leave anything behind.

- There you go. - Did you enjoy the meal?

Yes. We should come here often.

- Hey, Blessing. - I enjoyed the meal too.

- Right. - Gosh, I'm full.

Let's go.

Shall we head out then?

Sure.

Gwang Nam.

- Blessing had a great time too. - He ate a lot, didn't he?

What a great meal.

Come on. Let's go.

Peekaboo!

Goodness.

What a sweetheart.

- What... - He must've had a blast.

Ignore her.

Let's enjoy a relaxing week on Jeju Island.

Maria,

congratulations once again on your second pregnancy.

I guess Blessing brought us good luck.

I think so.

Let's go.

I can't believe we ran into her there.

She was all dressed up for a date with some guy.

I think she got a gift.

She even got a gift?

You have such good sight.

You don't know anything. Don't say that.

She was holding a shopping bag.

That was a famous brand. Women usually get it before their wedding.

Wedding? She just got divorced. How could she move on so quickly?

That's enough.

I already registered my marriage and have a baby.

You're not like her.

You had no choice because you had to register Blessing's birth.

But what's the rush for her?

It's like she's crazy about men.

The guy could do better. What does he see in her?

He will have to learn his lesson the hard way.

I'm still upset that I was fooled by her for 15 years.

That detestable wench.

That makes me shiver.

I said enough. This isn't who you are, Mom.

Do you still want to side with her after seeing her with another man?

Why are you being like that to Mother?

Mother has her reason to say things like that.

You should apologize.

Don't mind me.

I don't want you to say that.

I care about you because we're family.

And be honest. You're being jealous now.

What?

You thought she belonged to you even after your divorce.

Now that she's with another guy, you're being jealous, aren't you?

I saw your face earlier.

You were trying to hold it back.

What do you know about me?

Do you want me to be more straightforward?

You were going to keep seeing her behind my back,

so you're upset that your plans have fallen apart.

You're really mean, Ms. Shin.

Watch what you say.

I know she's still saved as Princess on your phone.

Is your ex-wife is a princess when I'm just Ms. Shin?

You even went to Shining under Starlight recently.

I saw that on your navigation.

Are you prying into my private affairs?

You're no stranger to me.

Let's stop talking.

You know I'm a businesswoman.

I never get the short end of the stick.

Remember that.

Can I please have just two of these displayed a day?

This is a chain store. I can't just display any products I want.

You should talk to the head office.

Thank you.

(A Spoonful of Moonlight)

Where are you going?

I'm moving out.

I'm doing this to keep my promise with your aunt.

I'll move out the rest of my stuff soon.

Wait, Unit 301.

Ye Seul!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

7, 8, 9, and 10.

Three.

Thank you for working hard until this late hour.

How would I save money like this?

They say money changes hands, but it never comes into mine.

Cheol Soo, they say a person gets three chances in life.

Did you get a chance? I didn't.

I guess I did. I just missed it without knowing.

If I think about it,

there were times that could've been my chance.

But I was too young to even know I missed my chance.

And it's just the same for money.

If money didn't change hands, we all would've been dead by now.

Actually, I had a strange experience once.

I got 5,000 dollars from my son and bought Bong Ja a ring with it,

but she lost it right away.

Then I struggled to get her a lawyer and get her out of prison.

I feel like crying when I think of the time.

That's when I realized that my life had been a waste.

I had no one to borrow the money from.

So what are you trying to say now?

Anyway, there is a guy who sells tteokbokki, and I helped him once.

I had no one to turn to, so I went to him.

And he got me 5,000 dollars with no strings attached.

My point.

The money kept changing hands and ended up with you.

Where's the money now?

Do you think I still have the money? I bet it's in someone else's hand.

Cheol Soo, is there any way I can make a fortune at a stroke?

Don't be ridiculous.

If you go after money, you'll end up in trouble.

I just hope to make a fortune before ending up in trouble.

What? Now?

Oh, gosh.

A loan shark?

Do you want me to go around collecting loans with them?

You think you can trifle with me.

You said you were ready to do anything.

But I can't collect loans. That's just embarrassing.

I thought you had no pride.

Do you think I have no pride left in me?

You can't underestimate me.

Maria,

congratulations once again on your second pregnancy.

Come upstairs if you're still up. Auntie wants to see you.

What are you drinking beer for?

I heard you're seeing someone. You sly fox.

It's good news, so I briefed the aunts on it.

He's in the construction industry, divorced, and has no kids.

He's four years younger than you, and he's good-looking.

And he's had a crush on her from so long ago.

You're so lucky.

The only problem is that he's divorced.

It's just strange that men give their all to their first experience.

Their first love, first marriage, and first wife.

They value their first over anything else.

Women aren't like that though.

That's not true.

All the men I dated were like that.

"This is my first time."

My goodness.

They were so happy when I said that.

Gwang Nam, you shouldn't get married.

Just date all the guys who are into you.

You told me to get married before.

Now that I think of it,

your first husband would give you all his salary...

and get only 100 or 200 dollars from you as his pocket money.

But your second husband wouldn't even give you his salary.

He wouldn't let you hold the purse strings.

He would just pay living expenses.

You might end up like me.

If you get remarried,

it will lead to your 3rd, 4th, or even 5th marriage.

She's not even engaged yet. Don't be silly.

You guys are old enough to think about marriage.

Actually,

he proposed today.

Really?

Are you serious?

How are you feeling? What did you say?

I don't know.

Even the guy I met when I was young betrayed me.

I'm not sure if the guy I met at this age would care for me.

I'm afraid.

Only women with good careers and a big pension can live alone.

It's not like anyone can stay single.

Unless you're as spiteful as I am.

You should keep it to yourself for now. Don't tell Dad.

Isn't Gwang Sik home yet?

- Do you want me to call her? - Yes.

Leave her alone. That fool.

Why?

Nothing.

You want to sue your husband's mistress.

Is that correct?

Yes.

I want to sue her.

Hey!

Are you back?

It's so good to see you again.

I was so bored without you.

Did you miss me?

Hey, did a girl dump you?

My gosh.

Hello.

Do you not work today?

I do.

Can I leave a few samgyetang meal kits in your fridge?

Samgyetang?

(Today is samgyetang day, A Spoonful of Moonlight)

- Did you prepare it yourself? - Yes.

You just have to boil it.

It's really easy and it tastes good.

You can try one.

Is it for free?

Yes, for you to taste.

I'm sure it's good. You're a good cook.

Leave a few in the fridge.

It's great if they sell, too bad if they don't.

How much will you pay me?

Who is this?

Are you my baby Oh Bong Ja?

Don't say that. I feel uncomfortable already.

Let's get going.

My gosh. Why are you walking so fast?

You're practically flying. You're like a squirrel.

Oh, dear. Gosh.

It's so ticklish.

You scared me.

Oh, well.

You silly.

Hello, Mr. Chairman.

Is everything okay?

Yes. All the units are sold, and the residents moved in.

Look around with me. It's our building now.

(Shining under Starlight)

Hello. I'm sorry I haven't called.

You lent me the money for your new boat.

I haven't saved up enough yet.

I can't right now, but I'll pay you as soon as I can.

Give me a little more time.

I'll call you back.

(Shining under Starlight)

What if someone sees us? Get out.

Let's go somewhere.

- Leave your shopping... - Just drive.

I didn't know you were so petty and narrow-minded.

You agreed to move out just because my aunt told you to?

You should take a stand and try to persuade her.

You're way too prideful.

I didn't move out because of my pride.

Like I said,

I'm not angry with your aunt. I'm disappointed in you.

More like, I feel betrayed.

You feel betrayed?

The reason you don't want your family to know about us.

Is it because you're ashamed of me?

Were you toying with my emotions?

I asked and you said no.

I meant it.

Do you think I'm bored enough to toy with your emotions?

I lied about it...

in case we'd feel uncomfortable about living close by.

I didn't mean anything else.

What kind of man is like this?

Getting hurt over something like that.

Men get hurt just the same.

We just bear with it so it doesn't show.

We hurt just the same.

We don't cry when we get hit because it doesn't hurt.

We bear it because we're men.

Okay.

I didn't know it hurt you that much.

Still, you can't just vanish and ignore my calls.

Isn't it over between us?

What is over?

When did we ever get started? What a joke.

This is why young men are useless.

It's not because I'm young. We're just two years apart.

I've never dated before.

I had brief flings, but I've never felt this way before.

This is your first time?

Having a girlfriend?

I told you by the sea.

That my heart never beat so fast.

I was mistaken.

I thought you'd be different.

I wanted too much.

I shouldn't have pursued such a great woman.

Your aunt has reason to be angry,

and your family would object.

Would it be like this if I were a judge or a doctor?

Why would you even say that?

Do you think they'd care for me?

I'm a human who's just as lacking.

Why do this when you know how I feel?

Don't you see?

Whatever we say, the conclusion is the same.

I won't love...

if it means having to apologize.

What does that mean?

If I did something wrong, I can apologize all you want.

But I can't,

I won't apologize for my background or situation.

I don't want that kind of love.

You'll put your pride first?

It's not about pride.

We started together, so we end it together.

You can't call it quits on your own.

I knew it was a luxury, vanity, and crime for me to date,

but I went for it as I thought you were worth being an accomplice with.

You don't know how I feel.

- Get in. - No.

The bus stop's far off. Get in.

I said no.

- You won't regret it? - I won't.

You can't walk with this. It looks bad.

You hate feeling humiliated.

Don't bother whether I'm humiliated to death and go.

I feel more humiliated that I got dumped.

Stop being stubborn and get in.

Why are you humiliating me?

Wear your seat belt.

I had fun today.

Go home now.

Let's do it again.

It's so frustrating, dating in secret.

Can't you send your sister and niece away?

I want to visit your place too.

Where can I send them to? They have nowhere to go.

Set a date for our wedding quickly.

That way, I can come and go as I please.

I can't take it anymore.

(I love you.)

Why is my heart beating this fast?

It could jump out of my chest.

(I love you.)

(I love you.)

What now? I'll be right home, okay?

That was Taeng Ja.

Isn't she leaving?

I can't believe she called me.

I should just kick her out or something.

You're going to kick your sister out for a lost kiss?

Look how adorable my baby is.

Of course, it's a dud. As if I'd be that lucky.

On purpose? You think this is on purpose?

Get him out here. Get out here, mister!

You can't run away after what you did!

I'm here apologizing on his behalf. You're both at fault anyway, so...

What do you mean I'm at fault too?

Did you even see what happened?

I'm sorry.

I paid for the dry cleaning, so please...

As if that's nearly enough.

We should at least get a free meal.

You're done for business today.

We're making our beds here.

Goodness.

Hi. What's going on?

One should compensate for damages after splashing water...

onto a bystander.

I gave them 100 dollars for dry cleaning.

100 dollars?

How dare they try to rip you off!

Who pays 100 dollars for dry cleaning?

Thirty dollars would easily do, so pay back the rest.

Who are you to butt in?

- I'm his mother, why? - What?

You're scam artists, aren't you?

They're putting on a show to steal your money.

Get the CCTV footage and take them to the police.

- Don't you dare! - Why not?

Let's have the police settle this matter.

Gong Chae, get the CCTV footage.

Leave already!

No one can stop my mom when she sees red.

What a bunch of rats. You scam people too, don't you?

- You dare raise your voice at us? - Just leave!

Stop right there!

Hey!

Why did you hold me back?

And why pay them 100 dollars? Do you have money growing on trees?

You're just a big baby, aren't you?

A business owner is always the little guy.

It's better to have things quietly settled.

- A bad rumor will only... - Exactly!

That's why I didn't take action.

As if they're any match for me.

I'm sorry I caused you trouble.

Unbelievable.

You hid and did nothing when it was your fault.

Those who look like cowards usually are.

Just a second. Your blouse.

What? Oh, no!

Those rats!

Ms. Oh, don't.

They should pay for my ripped blouse.

- You get it for me, mister. - Me?

I need to peel the onions.

Unbelievable!

This is my favorite blouse.

I wonder if this can get fixed.

Darn it!

Welcome.

I'll take this.

Is what size?

I think this will fit.

How do I look?

Who knew you had great fashion sense?

It fits you like a glove.

Most clothes do.

Thank you, darling.

Stop gawking, will you?

I'm not sure, sorry.

Where did you go today? You even closed your stand.

I had an appointment.

Did you buy another dress?

No, the head chef at work bought it for me.

Have you been flirting with him too?

Are you insane? He's half my age.

Something happened and he bought it for me.

Don't stupidly spend the money you earn.

You need to save up for Ttu Gi's education.

I said I didn't buy it.

Are you in touch with Bang Gi?

Yes, and thinking about him brings me to tears.

My lack of affection for his father stopped me from being fond of him.

The side dish lady said something like that too.

After arguing with her husband, she'd take it out on her kids.

By today's standards,

many parents from our days would be arrested for child abuse.

And our mom would be first on that list.

I feel terrible about taking my anger out on my kids too.

You've matured.

They say that maturing means you're close to death.

Maybe that's the case.

You and your thoughtless remarks.

I shouldn't die early for Ttu Gi's sake, right?

What have you been taking?

These days, I haven't been able to sleep...

due to hot flashes.

We need to take these at our age.

Look at me. Who'd guess that I'm 55?

If I'm being honest, I lied about my age a lot.

I'd dress in trendy clothes, put on high heels,

grow out my hair long, and go to dim-lit bars.

After a drink or so, men would see me as 20 years younger.

Good for you.

You should take this too.

You should as the glue that keeps the family together.

I never realized it before,

but you can't do without supplements as you grow older.

Cheol Soo said he'd eat dog poop...

if that promoted hair growth.

And women will eat all kinds of feces if they can make us prettier.

Maybe that's why one man's poop can be another man's manure.

Anyway, I'm off to the sauna.

Ttu Gi, let's go to the sauna.

Let's put that away.

Of course not.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

It's nice to see you come and go together.

Did you settle on a wedding date?

Well actually, we were looking for you.

Here you go.

Congratulations.

I never thought we'd get this kind of news around here.

We don't have enough money to buy a house yet,

so she'll move out of her room and start off together in my unit.

Good thinking.

Back in the day, couples started off small...

and enjoyed moving up in life.

It's no fun to start off in a big house.

Who knows what the future holds for young people, right?

Being young is your asset.

We'll keep that in mind, Ms. Oh.

See you at the wedding then.

- Sure. - Sure.

Watch your step.

Being young is your asset...

and couples should enjoy moving up in life together?

Starting off in a small unit is no big deal?

Why couldn't you say that to me too?

I only told them that because they're not family.

Meanwhile, you're my niece.

Did you have to hurt him like that?

Only I had that right.

"How dare you go after my niece when you're penniless."

"Move out so that you won't bump into each other."

Did you think about the person on the receiving end?

Worrying about what others thought is how I ended up like this.

But you're you and I'm me.

What did you say?

You said I'm like a mother to you.

Would you have said this to your own mother too?

Yes, I wouldn't have said it gently had it been her and not you.

I'm not a little girl anymore.

Whether it's marriage or divorce, it's my choice to make.

I don't need you to interfere with any of it.

"Move out this instant. Do you intend to marry her?"

Are you satisfied now that you've kicked him out?

Who are you talking about?

Who did Auntie kick out?

You don't need to know.

Auntie?

It's Unit 301.

Unit 301? You're insane.

You're out of your mind.

And now she's here yelling at me for it...

when I did it for her sake.

Gwang Sik, get a grip on yourself.

What do you mean? It's not like I'm a great catch.

So what if I graduated college?

I'm still a divorcee on paper...

and he's a younger man who hasn't been married.

Unbelievable. How blind can you be?

She's blinded by love.

I'm not in a position to give you advice,

but be rational for crying out loud.

What's with you and your choice of men?

First, you marry a loser like Pyeon Seung...

and now you're in love...

with a wannabe singer who does manual labor?

Why can't you have better taste in men?

She survived one wild beast only to run into another.

What do you expect from a wannabe singer?

Men should at least have a decent job.

You see it on TV.

People chasing dreams...

who spend decades just barely getting by.

You'll have to provide for him forever!

Stop it, will you?

What's wrong with you all?

Am I not allowed to date anymore?

I'm not some celibate, you know.

You had your fun during your school years.

I'm trying to finally have some fun dating.

I just want to experience having butterflies in my stomach,

so why won't you let me?

I never said I was going to marry him any time soon.

Why did Gwang Sik run out of here in tears?

- It's not like that. - That's not it.

- She suddenly... - I don't know why.

Why do you think she was like that?

What are you babbling about? One of you will explain.

Well, we were talking,

and the mentioning of her divorce must've gotten to her.

Exactly. We talked about a sensitive matter.

She probably didn't feel too good about it.

Why are you all being vague today?

Why would you mention her divorce?

It would only make her feel bad.

Unit 301 may not have the best background,

but I get why Gwang Sik is like this.

I once asked why she was marrying Pyeon Seung,

and she said it was because he loved her.

Rather than how she feels,

she mostly cares about what others feel.

That's never the case for me.

Same here. How I feel is more important.

But not Gwang Sik,

She either lacks self-respect...

or she finds it easier to be around someone who is beneath her.

Who made her the trash collector?

Is she under some curse to save unfortunate men?

Still, I felt bad to see her cry.

What's wrong is wrong.

You know where Unit 301 works, right?

Here he comes.

You know our eldest sister, right?

- Hello. - We need to talk.

- There's a cafe nearby... - No.

I don't need any coffee and this won't take long.

End it with my sister.

Don't contact her...

and don't pick up if she contacts you.

My sister only lost her way briefly.

Living in the same building doesn't mean she's on your level.

She's way out of your league.

Gwang Nam, please.

I know you understand, so I'll get going.

We should never meet under these circumstances again.

Let's go.

I will never forgive that woman.

Why aren't you eating? You wanted to come.

I'm busy watching you eat.

You seem to have an appetite.

It's my first meal of the day.

At this hour?

How can you work on an empty stomach?

- Do you have something to say? - Yes.

When will you introduce me to your girlfriend?

Did something happen?

No, I'm just hungry.

Well,

that landlady of yours...

I moved out.

Why? You said you liked her.

I guess you did something wrong.

What did you do?

I don't want to talk about it.

What is it? Tell me.

Why don't you want to talk about it?

Must children make their parents tiptoe around them?

One must ask many times just to get a short answer.

Who are you to not talk to me?

You should've just sent me to college!

How did you go from eating to mentioning college?

You wanted to become a singer instead.

You told me to give up for that jerk's sake.

Many singers didn't graduate college.

I could name them if you want.

It's not the same since I had no choice!

Why are you spitting out what you just ate?

Besides, why does it matter after all these years...

at this very moment?

What would I become when I was told to give up college?

Who would fall for me when I didn't even go to high school?

I have no money and come from a lowly family.

My ancestors were servants, my dad is an ex-con and...

What I did was hardly a crime.

It still was though.

Others may say you're a good man,

but what have you ever done for your kids?

No wonder your precious eldest cut you out of his life.

You ungrateful brat.

As if going to college would've changed your life.

Learn to be a decent person first.

Just look at how you are to your father.

If you wanted a college education,

you should've gotten a scholarship or earned the tuition.

Why are you resenting me when you didn't even study?

"Heaven helps those who help themselves."

No one can do anything for you.

You can't achieve something without working hard for it.

Darn it!

You feel terrible, don't you?

I still think it's wiser for you to give up.

Unit 301 hasn't called, right?

He won't be able to.

Gwang Nam and I let him have it, you see.

What?

You let him have it?

No, it wasn't like that. Gwang Nam just said a few words.

She told him to end it.

I'm sorry.

She told me to lead the way, so that's all I did.

I didn't say anything to him.

Not you as well. Who are you to interfere?

We're family, that's why.

Neither Gwang Nam nor I want to see you drown.

You're the pride of this family.

That's who you are, so why do you keep dating weirdos?

It kills me, you know.

Have some confidence, will you?

You're a catch.

Men other than Unit 301...

will line up for a chance with you.

Just go to her, no questions asked.

All will be forgiven if you're good-looking.

Go to her, talk in a deep voice...

Don't just study the theories. Practice them in real life.

How else can you be an effective consultant?

From 1 to 10, all he says are hard facts.

I'm sure he received a doctorate on this.

By the looks of it, he doesn't seem popular,

but he has a great character. I especially like how he gets angry.

"What did I say? That's wrong!"

- See? - Nicely done.

What? What is it?

So the girl told you not to contact her?

You just have to go and see her.

- I have to? - Yes. I'm telling you.

This isn't something anyone can try.

Only guys with good looks like you can do this.

No matter what she says, once she looks at your handsome face,

she will be swayed.

Why are you yelling?

Anyway, do as I say.

It wouldn't work for those with ugly faces.

She's already sick of your ugly face.

If you showed up with that face, she'd fall completely out of love.

It works only for the guys with good looks like you and me.

Like you and me?

We're not the same.

Anyway, that's what you need to do!

Hey, Gwang Tae.

How have you been?

You're so dumb. We're broken up.

Actually, we didn't even date.

I heard I have to show my face at a time like this.

That's what I was told.

See?

You're being swayed.

Women can't stay mad at good-looking guys.

Stop being ridiculous and go.

Gwang Tae. Be honest with me.

You're afraid because you have feelings for me.

You've never dated a man before.

My nickname is Dating Expert.

I can even write a book and make a movie.

Gwang Tae, you have feelings for me.

What?

Let's see this through.

You know how I'm feeling. You know even before I say anything.

You read my mind when I burned the roof of your mouth.

Why are you ignoring my feelings now?

Let's say I know. So what?

What are you going to do about it?

I don't want to be hung up about what to eat...

and how much it would cost.

I don't even see my friends these days. Because it costs money.

Do you know what my dream is?

I want to order what I want to eat without worrying about the price.

I'm so sick of worrying about money while eating.

Let's say we order a pizza together.

A pizza is 35.9 dollars. Do you want to split the bill?

It has 8 pieces, so it's about 4.5 dollars per piece.

I eat 3 pieces, so I should pay 13.5 dollars.

And you eat 5 pieces, so you should pay 22.5 dollars.

I don't want to see someone and worry about things like that.

You don't have to do that.

- I... - What about you?

What were you going to say?

Anyway.

You don't have to worry about money or split the bill.

I can let you order what you want without worrying about money.

Forget it.

Stop babbling about your hopes and leave.

What can we do together when we've got nothing?

Just go.

- Leave. - Wait, Gwang Tae.

- Go away. - Gwang Tae, we need to talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

- It won't take long. - I have nothing to tell you.

- I have something to tell you. - Just go.

Gwang Tae, please.

Ms. Lee Gwang Nam, mail delivery.

- I have mail? - Are you Lee Gwang Nam?

- Yes. - Take this.

And sign here.

- All right. Thank you. - Thank you.

(Seoul Central District Court)

(Lawsuit for Adultery)

(Shining under Starlight)

What...

What's that?

What's wrong?

Do I have to deal with things like this?

Adultery? Am I your mistress?

It's you who committed adultery. Why am I your mistress?

Your wife sued me for adultery.

Did I have an inappropriate relationship with a married man?

Did I cause you distress with illegal acts...

that violate the sanctity of your marriage?

Despite repeated warnings, I kept committing illegal acts,

so you want me to take legal responsibility for that?

It's you who committed adultery. I don't deserve any of this.

I'm terrified by the word "court." What did I do wrong to get this?

A compensation claim?

Do you want me to compensate you?

It's you who should compensate me.

Do you think I'm a pushover?

Let's take this to the end.

You'll see what it's like to be in the pit of fire.

What's the matter?

Why did you keep ringing the bell like that? It might shock Blessing.

Ms. Shin.

We need to talk.

What's wrong?

Did you do something wrong?

Go see him.

How could you do that? Are you out of your mind?

A lawsuit for adultery? Who committed adultery here?

Who do you want to get the money from?

I don't need money.

I just wanted to teach her a lesson.

Teach her a lesson? What did she do wrong?

It's her who should file a lawsuit. Why are you being like this?

I did it because I was upset.

Why did you make me do things like this?

I know a lot of people in this field.

Do you think I committed adultery with my ex-wife?

I made a mistake once, but I'm not that kind of person.

A mistake?

All right.

Blessing was just a mistake.

That's not what I meant.

There are things you can do and things you can't do.

I won't say more. Drop the suit right away.

I'm a woman.

Even when she did anything wrong,

you just let it slide for 15 years.

But why are you being so harsh on me?

Can't you treat me as your wife?

Maybe it was a mistake for you, but it wasn't a mistake for me.

How could you call it a mistake when we have Blessing?

I know I'm fat and unattractive. I'm aware of that.

But can't you...

treat me like a woman at least once?

I'm a woman.

You don't even remember it,

but I can never forget the night.

What does he think I am?

Does he think I'm the kind of person who collects loans frowning?

I will teach that jerk a lesson.

Hello.

- Where's Chairman Heo Pung Jin? - This way, please.

Stop!

I told you many times. Can't you make it more exciting?

Play it with your soul.

Do you know what I mean?

- I'm sorry. I'll play again. - Okay.

Sir.

Sir?

Hey.

Are you finished?

- Yes. - What was your dad doing here?

Did he come to see me?

What? Was my dad here?

Did you not know?

He just left.

This is your favorite twisted donut.

I got 10 of them after waiting in line for 40 minutes.

They don't sell more than ten per person.

Such nerve.

Take them with you. I don't want any.

This can't taste that good.

They're worth waiting in a line for.

Try one.

Take just one bite. It's delicious.

I said no.

Take them home.

Why did you come by and see me at work?

You said you sing. That you'll become a singer.

With what you earn bowing down to and playing for drunks,

you want to buy twisted doughnuts?

The doughnuts didn't deserve that.

Don't you have any pride?

You should've quit long ago if you had no hope.

Why do you still have regrets?

Why are you still doing this? It makes you look bad.

You flung your long hair around since middle school.

It's time you gave up.

I may have no education and I might be penniless,

but I never bowed to others.

That's a man's pride.

Why care when I'm less than the dirt on someone else's foot?

Pride?

Do you think I play because I have no pride?

Do I play for drunks because I have nothing better to do?

Is it easy to become a singer?

I have no money or connections.

I should be visiting composers and begging people.

I'm just as foolish as you,

and I can't bow to others, so why would I do that?

Because someone else won't.

I look bad?

With what I make by looking bad,

I stock your fridge, buy you cosmetics,

prostate medicine, and a new suit.

Wait and see.

See who you end up groveling to.

He doesn't know what I'm saying.

You fool! Release an album!

Release that darn album!

How much does it cost?

How much do you need to become a singer?

- What? - Where are you?

I'm outdoors.

I feel sorry for myself.

I'll end it.

It's over.

- He said so? - I guess that was it.

I won't date again.

Don't be that drastic.

You'll find a great guy too.

Let's have a beer later. On me.

Okay.

Gwang Sik!

- Get the rope! - You can't say something's missing.

There's nothing we can do. It's not our problem.

Oh, dear.

My goodness.

You should've worn gloves.

Go see a doctor.

We're rushed. Let's finish up first.

How are you?

So-so.

You?

I'll take the civil service exam.

Good for you.

Are your parents well too?

I don't care about them.

They could be pulling cons.

Cons? They never did that before.

The police came by a few times.

Nothing they do surprises me now.

They had it coming.

It's so funny to come across you here.

Are you here alone?

Yes.

You shouldn't come here alone.

Look. Everyone else is with a date.

You're on your own yourself.

I didn't know you played the guitar.

I never got to show you.

Are you any good?

I'm not too bad. I play when I'm bored.

You're pretty good.

If I'd known you liked this, I'd have played for you sooner.

Have you eaten yet? Shall we eat?

I'd prefer alcohol to food.

(Motel)

I guess we'll drink a lot today.

Don't get any ideas.

Let's go to the raw fish place on the left.

Pyeon Seung.

You said you'd be late. You're early.

Yes. I got off earlier than expected.

Say hello. I told you about her.

She's my ex-girlfriend.

My current girlfriend.

We're both studying for the exam. We came out for some air.

I see.

Hello. So this is her.

I heard a lot about you. You helped him out a lot.

You always cooked for him and gave him pocket money.

Thank you. I heard you made him a better man.

- Not really. - I told her everything.

She's seven years younger. She's 22.

That means you're 12 years apart.

I asked her to eat with me. Do you mind?

I'd love that.

She's this cool.

I'll pass. You two can enjoy yourselves.

Come with us.

Join us. You're on your own.

No. I have plans.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Take care.

Do come to our wedding.

Shall we go?

Get us a table at the restaurant.

Gwang Sik! Gwang Sik, wait. Wait up.

Are you really here on your own?

Yes.

Are you not with Unit 301?

No.

What a weird guy.

Why do that if it were to end so quickly?

Do what?

Our divorce.

Did Unit 301 really not tell you?

Tell me what?

Unit 301 gave me 50,000 dollars.

To divorce you.

What?

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be...

Will you pick up?

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be...

(Call for a taxi)

Wait.

(To Seoul Station)

Oh? Gwang Sik.

I can't reach Ye Seul. Where is he?

I've been looking for him for days.

He's not picking up.

Mr. Tak wants to see him.

Does he really?

Yes.

Are they not meant to work together?

It didn't work out last time either.

The last time?

Way over a year ago.

He could've turned his life around.

He got involved in a catfight in the club...

and lost out on a meeting with Mr. Tak.

Where is he?

Let go! Let go and talk it out.

You know the song "Real Love," right?

The singer shot 15 TV commercials.

Was that the song meant for Ye Seul?

Yes. But the idiot is so nosy.

Why did he try to stop two strangers from fighting?

I hate them to death.

I hope they pay dearly for ruining his life.

Hey. Gwang Sik!

- Hello? - Just a moment.

It's me.

Where are you? Let's meet up.

I don't want to.

Let's meet.

Do you want to see me wither away and die?

I don't care if you say it's the last time and it's over.

Just meet me this once.

I don't want the last time to be how you remember me.

The last image of me shouldn't be someone...

in a tracksuit, wearing slippers, and holding a plunger.

Hello?

Are you still there?

I'm in Seocho-dong,

and the guy there should know the address.

I'll be right there.

(Moving Company)

He got me the 50,000 dollars a few days later.

Talk about being tight-lipped.

If it weren't for those women,

he would've shot 15 TV commercials and made it big.

What happened to your hand?

I got injured on the job.

You should've been more careful.

What brings you here?

Why didn't you tell me...

about the 50,000 dollars?

You have to work years suffering from injuries like this...

to make that kind of money.

So why give up that money...

for someone like me?

I was nobody to you.

How stupid are you?

What do you like about a woman who made excuses all day...

just so that she didn't have to introduce you to her family?

What could you like about a loser...

whose sisters gave you an earful about dating me?

You missed out on your chance with Mr. Tak...

and 15 TV commercials went to someone else.

As if I'm worth any of that.

Doesn't it kill you to know...

that you lost your chance breaking up a catfight?

You should've told me.

How can someone be like this?

How am I supposed to live with the guilt?

What am I supposed to do?

I'm sorry.

(A guaranteed return)

Guys, thanks for the hard work.

We need to hit hard and move on fast.

- Speed things up. - Got it.

- Do you have the contracts? - Yes.

And the registry. Don't forget those.

We don't have time to fool around.

You dare to rush me?

I haven't been fooling around. I said I'd get it done.

We're running out of time.

You know I'm in the middle of a trial.

- It must end before that. - I'm aware of it.

You also know that dropped off my kids at my parents' to be here.

If you're breaking up the dream team, let me know in advance.

Don't tell me you've really fallen for her.

Are you insane? Why would I when she's broke?

I'm not interested in her.

Have you been gathering investors?

They all see dollar signs once I tell them that it's 30 percent...

below the market price.

Enjoying a life wearing luxurious brands...

and playing golf as Chairman Hwang?

Don't you dare forget who made that happen for you.

I played my part well enough.

I let you in on half the profit I made...

scamming the ladies I met at the golf club.

I lost my husband in a blink of an eye...

and didn't get a proper payout.

You and I are in the same boat now.

Have some faith in me.

I'll trample her one step at a time.

I'm Hwang Cheon Gil, you know.

I'll get my payback.

(Ballet for Adults)

We need to talk.

Please tell your wife...

that I'll see her in court.

Rather than following your ex-wife around,

focus that energy more on your pregnant wife.

We'll dish it out in court.

Your blood pressure is elevated...

and your heart isn't in good condition.

Rather than taking more medication,

why not try losing weight instead?

Your health could be in danger.

Do you like it?

My gosh. I wondered who lived in penthouses like this.

It's yours now.

We'll invite your father and sisters to live with us.

Thanks, Chairman Hwang.

I wondered when that day will come...

and this feels like a dream.

Well, it's not a dream.

Thoughts of you drive me crazy, you know.

Just a second.

Hey, brother.

Yes, I saw this morning that the 500,000 dollars came in.

That's the limit though.

It's best to receive the rest in another account,

so what should we do?

Of course, Mom can't know about this.

All right.

Unbelievable.

What's wrong?

My brother and I agreed to pitch in five million dollars each...

to buy our mother a ten million dollar island.

You're buying an island?

Not one as big as Jeju. A small one she can have fun on.

You're buying an island for recreational reasons?

We're going to build a summer house there...

and give it to her as a gift to celebrate her 70th birthday.

Retrieving the money I lent out has been a hassle though.

Is it a problem to have too much cash in your accounts?

We run a family business,

so my accounts are linked to my brother's and mother's.

On top of that, my mom is aware of the company's financial structure.

We wanted it to be a surprise, but too bad.

So all you need is a bank account?

Don't you worry about it.

Let's grab a bite to eat.

Chinese, Japanese, or Western. Take your pick.

Chairman Hwang.

Yes?

What should we have?

Would my bank account do?

Go ahead and use it if you want to.

(Revolutionary Sisters)

Dad, I've been seeing someone.

He's coming by tomorrow to meet you.

Lee Gwang Nam is still in the dark, right?

How can she know anything...

when a large sum of money is going in and out of her bank account?

I'm introducing him to the family tomorrow.

Is that the purpose of the meal?

I'll ask you point-blank.

Are you interested in marrying me?

Did you just propose?
