(Episode 42)

(Emergency Medical Center)

Where on earth were you?

What took you so long...

when your father is fighting for his life?

So much for having kids, right?

How could you not know that your father was sick?

- Dad, he had his reasons... - You're no better!

Feeling guilty is no reason not to look in on him.

As his daughter-in-law,

you should've called day and night...

and looked in on him since he lives alone.

What could be more important? Don't you even feel bad for him?

Was being happy by yourselves all you cared about?

What if he doesn't wake up?

I'm sorry, Father.

Cheol Soo, how did it go?

He's still in surgery.

Please let me know as soon as something changes.

It's all my fault.

I should've taken him to a doctor yesterday.

As if being a singer is of any importance.

How did it go?

His brain pressure was high when he arrived here...

which is why we decided to open his skull.

The pressure lowered though, so we just removed the clot instead.

The clot was blocking...

his middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery,

so we didn't have a clear view of his veins.

Thankfully, we got to him before it was too late.

Thank you.

It's a relief he made it out alive.

I'm glad I went by to see him today.

Thank you, Father. Thank you so much.

We will stay here with him. You should go home.

You should do that, Dad. You must be tired.

No. I want to see Dol Se wake up.

What? Dol Se.

- Father. - Dad.

Are you alive? Do you recognize me?

Dad.

Yes.

Say something.

Say anything. Just say it.

This is uncomfortable.

It's killing me.

Gosh, he's fine now.

He speaks well.

I was so worried.

Do your hands and feet feel okay?

Move them.

They're moving. He's fine.

Move your toes as well.

It moves. I'm so grateful.

My gosh.

Cheol Soo.

He's alive.

Is there anything wrong with him?

He speaks well.

And his limbs are fine as well.

He got so lucky twice.

It would've been serious if we were late.

I'm glad that you told me to go see him with some food.

Otherwise, we would've had a funeral.

You saved his life.

I'm glad that he's fine.

If he weren't, it would've been hard for him and his children.

It's just horrible for all of them.

You must've been worried sick.

You couldn't even come to see him.

Come to think of it, there's no one who's as pitiful as Dol Se.

He was born as a servant's son.

And his father beat him up all the time.

When he was only 17 or 18,

all his friends went to school in uniform,

but he had to carry manure to the fields.

He must've been so frustrated.

Dol Se is probably the only one...

who went straight to work carrying manure in his uniform...

right after he was discharged from military service.

He still resents it,

so he still wears his military drill school uniform.

And in his old age,

he's just stuck in his room, banging eyes in stuffed animals.

And now...

I feel so bad for him.

When I heard he went into surgery, I thought...

If I had known he'd die just like that,

maybe I should've lived with him for at least one day.

I was afraid he'd die just like that.

Dad.

How did the audition go?

I couldn't ask because Cheol Soo was here.

That's what I wanted to know the most.

I didn't wait for the result.

I don't even know what I was thinking on my way here.

I was terrified I might lose you.

I don't need to live long.

I will only be a burden to you.

Don't say that.

I can live because you're here with me.

Don't get sick again.

Okay.

Gosh.

You're so bad at making things up.

Why did you say that we were on vacation at a hotel?

This isn't even a hotel, but a shabby motel.

I just can't seem to do it.

Just be patient. I'll deal with Mom.

Don't say anything silly.

Let's go.

- We're home. - We're home.

- Mom. - I packed your clothes.

I'll send you the rest with a moving company.

Just take it with you for now.

I'm sorry.

He told me about it at the last moment.

You could've at least called me.

I can tell how you look down on me.

That's what I suggested.

I know. I get that.

I understand that you two get along very well.

So you should move out and have fun without me.

I'll live with Blessing.

If you love your wife so much, you should carry her around.

Why do you even let her walk on the dirty ground?

If I say something, you jump in as if you're her lawyer.

You practically treat me like a criminal.

Don't be upset.

Go get some rest.

She's not feeling well now.

She went to relax, so she should be full of energy.

Why isn't she feeling well?

Mother.

I'm sorry, but I need to go lie down.

Sorry.

It's your turn today.

You should cook.

We changed it. It's my turn today.

Darn you.

I hate everything she does.

Maria was always nice to me...

and cared for me so much.

But has she ever been like that?

- How did it go? - Well... The thing is...

I didn't make it, did I?

- I'm sorry. - Why are you sorry?

It's because I wasn't good enough.

That's not true.

There will be another audition soon.

Let's prepare for it.

I didn't make it.

You didn't show what you've got this time.

You're right. We'll prepare for the next audition.

You'll definitely win first place then.

(Mr. Kim)

It's me.

- Hey, Ki Jin. - Hello, Father.

Here. This is for you.

- What is this? - Steamed blue crab and abalone.

There's Dokdo shrimp in there too.

It's made with the specialties of the Dokdo Islands.

They are very rare.

I only make this if I have to bribe someone.

Give it to Gwang Tae.

I'm sure Gwang Tae would like what I like.

She's pregnant now, so she needs to eat well.

I made a big portion, so you can have some too.

Thank you, Father.

My gosh.

Gwang Tae, come over here.

- What's all this? - Steamed blue crab and abalone.

There's Dokdo shrimp too.

They're all specialties of the Dokdo Islands.

It must be delicious.

Where did you get such a precious dish?

What?

Oh, it's just someone I know.

He gave me this because I told him you're pregnant.

I love blue crab and abalone. And I like shrimp too.

It's not just shrimp. It's Dokdo shrimp.

He said you would like it.

- You're so alike. - What?

- What? - Who am I like?

Well... I mean, we're so alike.

Go ahead and eat this.

All right.

Go ahead.

It's really good.

Tell him I said thanks.

Hanbang, do you like it?

Does Father give you anything like this?

He doesn't know anyone from the Dokdo Islands.

But he should do something for his pregnant daughter.

Aren't you sad that he hasn't given you anything?

No. That's not what Dad does.

Auntie does everything for me though.

This is good. You should try some.

Father. She really liked it.

She hasn't been eating well because of her morning sickness.

Thank you so much.

Yes. I'll call you again later.

Who was that? Why did you hang up in a hurry?

You're being suspicious. Was it a girl?

What are you talking about?

You know I'm quick-witted.

Don't let me catch you. I'll tear you apart.

I just had steamed blue crab and abalone.

It's not like I have anywhere else to use this energy.

Hanbang might hear you.

Hanbang, cover your ears for a bit.

Remember my friend who married young but got pregnant after five years...

and cried when she got her Mom's Diary?

Her husband was constantly on the phone with a Mr. Kim,

and it turned out to be a woman he was having a fling with.

What kind of married man has a fling?

Exactly.

Would I do something like that?

I can barely keep up with you.

How could I have a fling?

Lots of men cheat when their wives are pregnant.

Not me. That's for losers.

Cool men like me would never cheat.

See for yourself. It's Mr. Kim.

I'll really look.

Look.

Let's not go that far.

We promised when we got married...

that we won't look at each other's phones.

But remember that this promise can always be revoked.

Okay. I'll remember that.

Good boy. Well done.

It's good to have a son to look after you.

After my car accident,

you fed me rice soaked in oxtail broth.

I didn't cook that broth.

I knew that.

Lots of people worry about you, so get well soon.

Exercise a lot and move your body.

Have you heard about the audition yet?

I didn't make it. I'm not good enough.

It was more for lack of luck than skill.

Everyone who's really hot now all had a rough start.

And not for lack of skill.

It was for lack of good fortune.

You didn't make it this time because of me.

I'm sorry, son.

You'll make it next time.

I'm sure of it.

You didn't call Bae Seul, did you?

I didn't.

Should I?

No.

The embryo looks good.

- You got the text, didn't you? - Yes.

It's not serious, but you have some fluid in your abdomen.

You could have some discomfort if you get pregnant now.

I don't mind as long as it's not a danger.

I want it done.

She feels a bit impatient.

Then we'll transplant the embryo tomorrow.

Okay.

What is it? Is something wrong? Shall I call the nurse?

No.

I need to go to the toilet.

You're wearing a diaper. Just go.

You can't move yet.

It'll be worse if you fall over.

It's done already.

Let me see.

I'll do it.

Take me to the toilet.

It's fine. I'm your son.

I'm sorry,

but can you hire a carer until I can go home?

I'll look after you. Stay still.

It's nothing at all.

You must've changed my diapers when I was a baby.

To be honest,

I changed Bae Seul's a few times because he was my firstborn.

I don't think I changed yours once.

Ye Seul.

I'm sorry.

And thank you.

Why are you here?

Are you afraid?

You thug. You got me once, but not twice.

If you hit me once more, I'm taking you to the police.

I put up with too much.

Why didn't you pick up?

You ignored calls from Dad's phone and from mine.

Have you decided to cut ties with us?

Are we not family anymore?

Did you ever treat me like an older brother? Family, my foot.

Not me, Dad. Dad's your family.

Why did you ignore his call?

What good comes from talking to him?

Why? In case he asks for money?

For a long time, I told myself I don't have a family.

I heard you're married.

Dad must've called you, not knowing any better.

I would've killed you had you shown up that day.

Cough up what Dad gave you so far.

- What? - Han Bae Seul.

We've been talking for a while now.

How can you not ask how Dad is?

If you're here to pick a fight, stop and go home.

Dad's in the hospital.

He had surgery for a cerebral infarction.

So what?

- Are you leaving him with me? - What?

Did you come here to tell me to look after him?

Darn you!

Did that hurt?

You're that upset because one punch hurt so much?

How is that the first thing you can say?

Are you afraid I'll leave Dad with you?

I'll tell you in advance.

I'm in no position to look after Dad,

and I have no money to do so.

I won't ask you to pay for anything!

Even after Mom died,

you said the place smelled and vanished, leaving 100 dollars.

Would I have come to ask you for money?

I came to ask you...

to drop by and show your face just once.

He said no to me,

but Dad secretly wants to see you.

He changed your diapers and raised you.

Don't regret it after he's dead and gone...

and show him your face when you can.

That darn thug.

You're not even a clown!

I'm not even a clown?

Did you ever support my career?

With your tutors and tuition for high school and university,

I never got any lessons.

So I never even got to become a clown!

I'm done letting you off.

Pay Dad's hospital bills.

Don't you dare run away.

(Shining under Starlight)

Bong Ja, you're lucky you didn't marry the guy.

If you did, you would've had to look after him.

How upsetting would it have been to look after him...

before you could even enjoy life?

This is why people shouldn't get married at our age.

Right?

Do you have to say something like that...

when someone is at death's door?

He's alive. That's why I can say this.

Are you going out again?

You know why.

You go out after putting your kid to bed...

like a woman having an affair.

You say you hate Mom but you're just like her.

Even if your face is crooked, you should speak the truth.

I'm not having an affair. I'm meeting my rightful husband.

You know how I hate being told that I'm like Mom.

Cheers.

How lovely.

Dating in secret is the most exciting thing in life.

That's why people who cheat just can't give it up.

- Where's your brother? - He's asleep.

Tonight, let's think of nothing else and focus on our date.

What shall I cook? What do you want?

Will you make anything I want?

I'm Oh Taeng Ja's private and perfect chef.

Wait right here.

Gong Chae, it's not right.

This crazy old woman...

Why is your braised chicken so good?

I ate at other places, and it's not this tasty.

I'm glad it's good.

Sweetheart. I want to ask you something.

When you first found out that I was that brat,

were you disappointed?

At first, I was surprised.

Am I really your first love?

It didn't even hurt...

when the chairman beat me up for losing that money.

I took the slap with a smile on my face.

That would've only made him want to slap you more.

That's exactly what happened.

But I was like,

"Hit me all you want. It doesn't hurt one bit."

"Why would it, when a gem found its way to my heart?"

"Hit me all you want."

Why? What is it?

This is a first for me.

No one has ever referred to me as a gem before.

But you had a lot of men in your life.

I've had my fair share of boyfriends...

and married a number of them,

but no one has ever truly loved me.

I'll make up for the void...

that's been in your heart for 55 years.

If only we had crossed paths sooner.

I looked everywhere for you, you know.

There hasn't been a day where I didn't think of you.

I didn't know your name or face,

but your eyes and lips...

had a place in my heart.

It sounded like poetry.

No matter how I think about it, you're not right in the head.

A young and pretty girl should be receiving your love,

not an old hag like me.

Stop that. Age is only a number, you know.

I've loved you for seven years, you know.

This should be the moment...

where we kiss.

We were in the middle of eating. Are you sure?

Then let's do it.

What? Stop right there, lady!

You crazy old hag. What do you think you're doing?

Get over here.

Hey, lady. Every night, you've been seducing my brother.

I'm sorry, my brother-in-law.

Stop calling me that!

Seduce my brother like this again, and you'll pay.

I'll call the police and charge you...

with the theft of 20,000 dollars and for seducing an innocent kid.

Sa Chae, I'm not a child.

Shut that mouth of yours.

Compared to this crazy old cow,

you're a baby.

We're leaving. Come on.

Sweetheart, I'll clean up and lock the doors.

No, leave it. I'll clean it tomorrow.

- Don't clean up. - Come on!

Don't clean up!

Sweetheart?

- She calls you "sweetheart" now? - Yes.

Am I Sweetheart's brother then?

What am I going to do with you?

Gong Chae, listen. Being as innocent as you are,

you probably fell victim to the witch's spell,

but now's the time to snap out of it.

The old hag will drag you toward a world of endless torment.

You'll regret it later on.

I won't.

I already told you. She's my first love.

Thanks to you, first loves are no longer a fantasy.

"First love" has never sounded so creepy before.

That lady will turn 60 soon...

and it'll show without the makeup.

I can age faster to match her then.

Unbelievable. What did this old hag do...

to put you under her spell?

Hold on a second.

Sa Chae, wait!

Sa Chae!

- Yes, brother-in-law? - Enough with the brother-in-law.

How did you put him under your spell?

How did you seduce him?

That's not what happened.

Then why has he gone all crazy?

What did you do to him?

You want me to demonstrate? Here?

Yes, show me!

("Brave Woman" by Seo Joo Kyung)

That's enough. Okay, I get it.

Darn.

Don't show this to strangers.

It should be for my eyes only.

Bye, brother-in-law.

Can you call an ambulance? I'm having chest pains.

An ambulance!

- A business trip? - Yes.

I'm off to Jeju, but I guess you'll be too busy with patients.

Why ask if you're going to say that?

Tell me to join you if that's what you want.

I'm just being considerate of your schedule.

I have a few vacation days left,

so I'll ask the chief for two days off.

Why Jeju Island though?

I have a meeting there as the foundation's director.

- Gosh. Really? - Yes.

The newly appointed directors will be introduced...

which has me excited but nervous.

I haven't had an official title like that before.

It's a meaningful event, so I wanted you to join me.

Then count me in.

No, wait. No can do.

Not until we have your parents' approval.

We can keep it a secret.

That's even more out of the question.

I'll soon ask them for your hand, and then we'll take a grand trip.

I got excited for nothing.

Have a nice trip then.

Got it. I'll call instead.

The embryo has been transferred,

so please take it easy so that it manages to implant.

Stay clear from physical activities that will drain your energy.

It'd be a good idea to be on bed rest for a few days.

All right.

Doctor, will it work?

Let's try to stay positive.

Don't stress yourselves out by taking pregnancy tests...

and wait patiently.

- All right. - Sure thing.

I feel different, you know.

- Already? - It must be in my head though.

From now on, I'll only say nice things...

and think positively.

The doctor recommended bed rest,

so what do we tell your mother?

If I say I'm sick,

she'll accuse me of mooching off you again.

- Let's go to a hotel. - But we won't be staying long.

How about the motel from the other day?

I'm not sick today. I only have to lie down.

No, not that motel. I regretted it dearly.

Let's go to Gwang Sik instead.

I'd rather keep it a secret until we're pregnant.

- She already knows. - What?

Don't get angry. It's not good for the baby.

She made you the seaweed soup.

No wonder.

I knew it was a familiar taste.

All right.

Sorry about all this.

I know things aren't easy for you either.

I'm not stressed out at all.

How can you not be...

when your father-in-law is in the hospital?

Taking care of him is a daughter-in-law's duty.

Not really. He has his son for that.

It's just that...

my life seems to be stuck in a rut.

I only thought we only had ourselves to worry about,

but caring for his father has become a task for us,

and I can't show tears in front of Ye Seul.

Talk about being in trouble.

All the hard work falls on daughters-in-law...

when a family suffers a blow.

There's the hospital fee...

and the caregiving.

Anyway, enjoy the mudfish stew.

I hear it's a good choice after embryo transfers.

- I looked it up. - Is there anything you don't know?

Thanks, Gwang Sik.

Being here makes me feel like I'm at our childhood home.

I provide that for you, and you do the same for me.

Aunt Bong Ja would've done a better job though.

Please don't tell anyone yet.

I'd rather not be in the spotlight.

It's so good.

Take your time and eat your fill.

Gwang Sik, you know...

I know that you're not financially ready yet,

but I wanted to say this.

It's better to have children as soon as possible.

I didn't have kids when I first got married,

because we had a lot of debt to pay off.

I thought I'd get pregnant once we were on a better track.

But I adjusted to a life without children...

and gave up on having any...

because the hard work worried me.

Do you know that old saying,

"We're all born with our share of food?"

I truly believed those words to be irresponsible and ignorant.

But life has taught me...

that what I believed in isn't always true.

Especially when conceiving a child takes more than simple willpower.

I feel like I could do just about anything...

that will let me have a baby.

You're 34 already...

and I don't want you to experience what I'm going through right now.

I hear you loud and clear. I'll give it some thought...

once we move into an apartment above ground.

Who could that be? I'm not expecting anyone.

Who is it?

Gwang Sik, it's me!

What now?

Why don't we let her in on the secret too?

Then she'll soon tell Dad.

Nothing stays a secret between them.

Were they married in a past life?

Gwang Sik?

Auntie, just a second.

Just say you came by to chat.

Sounds good.

Auntie, you're here.

I didn't know you were here too.

I came by during my break.

What's that? It smells great.

She was craving mudfish stew.

Do you want some too?

I'm good. I already ate anyway.

When will he be discharged from the hospital?

His doctor wants to keep an eye on him.

I'll make some side dishes for you to give him.

But the hospital serves meals.

Doctors tell you to eat hospital food,

but it's not appetizing for the patients.

How can it be when it's bland and less sugary?

The owner of the duvet store cried her eyes out...

after her husband died without any meat on his bones...

from only eating hospital food.

She regretted...

not letting him eat what he wanted.

No one seems as unfortunate...

as a patient who died after being on a strict diet.

Absolutely. Doctors always tell you...

to eat what you want when death is near,

but who would have an appetite by then?

You should enjoy food when you crave it.

Father's situation is different though.

He needs to be on a strict diet.

I'll cook something homemade for him,

so don't worry too much.

I should get going though.

Gwang Nam, are you coming?

I'd like to finish this first.

- I'll get going then. - Right. Have a good day.

- Sure. - I'll call you.

Sure thing.

I have a newfound admiration for those who lie easily.

Like Gwang Tae?

Who does she get her quick wits from?

It's in her nature.

No one else in the family is like that though.

I was bored, so I came out for a walk.

The doctor said walking would do me good.

Let's grab something nice to eat. Where are you?

At the office.

I'm a little busy right now, so I'll call when I'm free.

Got it.

- Father. - Hey.

What did you urgently want to tell me?

The truth is...

I thought you said you were at the office.

Oh, hey.

Goodness. Hello.

Yes, hello. It's good to see you.

I see that you're the one...

my husband is around the most these days.

It's a shame we didn't get a proper introduction.

Could I maybe shake your hand instead?

Sorry?

Sure.

You should get going.

Mr. Kim and I need to go over a few things.

Sorry about that.

You remind me of my daughter, that's all.

Mr. Kim, please.

She's around your age, you see.

Your daughter must be somewhere far away.

That's right.

You should get going.

Then I'll leave you to talk.

I'll get going.

Mr. Kim, I'll see you around.

You see the resemblance, don't you?

Yes, I do. You talk in similar manners too.

That's blood.

Could she have followed you here on purpose?

Of course not.

The truth will break her heart.

She was in the dark for 29 years,

so it'd startle her especially now that she's pregnant.

Ki Jin, I only asked you to meet me today...

because I wanted to request a loan.

A loan?

About 50,000 dollars.

I have urgent use for it.

Did you say 50,000 dollars?

I can't come up with that amount since I don't manage the finances.

I'm sorry.

What about 30,000 dollars? No, 20,000 dollars would do.

I need it urgently, you see.

Gosh, I'm worried that my Gwang Tae would walk back in.

It's not like I can ask Gwang Tae for the money.

Couldn't you help me out?

(Dongsan Bank)

(Quick and efficient)

This is all the money I can come up with right now.

This isn't enough though.

I really need the money.

I'm sorry.

My gosh.

Where were you today?

At the office.

I ran late due to a meeting with the head office.

I stopped by on my way home from the market,

and it was your day off.

You got me. I'm sorry, Mother.

I wasn't feeling well, so I rested at my sister's.

You'd be worried if I came home instead.

Why not get yourself a checkup?

If you fall ill, it will only burden my son.

He shouldn't have to watch two of his wives die.

That would be awful. Anyway, I'm perfectly healthy.

Don't be so sure of yourself.

I won't sit by and let my son watch his wife die again.

You should know I deeply regret not being on Maria's case.

I should've nagged her all the way to the doctor's office.

Having a sick wife at home...

will only depress the husband when he's at work.

Take better care of yourself because no one will do it for you.

Mother, are you worried about me?

As if. It's my son I'm worried about.

It's the same thing. Consider yourself busted.

You've made it a habit recently to cheekily avoid confrontations.

Why not get upset like you used to?

I'm too old for that now.

From now on, I'll only say nice things.

(Patient, Han Dol Se)

How do you feel?

It's like I'm in paradise.

Here I am, lying in bed and being fed.

How can that be paradise?

You need to walk on your own to fully enjoy the sun.

Anyway, I'm worried about the hospital bills.

Do you have any insurance?

I barely made enough payments.

What about your eldest son? Has he been by?

I didn't contact him.

Why didn't you?

Why not call your eldest?

"My eldest son."

So much for always being so proud of him.

I would've beaten you to a pulp had I known that your second son...

was going to marry my daughter.

Call your eldest to nurse you...

rather than enslaving my sweet son-in-law.

I deeply regret it myself.

I bet you feel guilty.

According to an old saying,

the child you didn't treat well enough...

is the one that cares for you rather than the one you coddled.

It means you shouldn't put a child on a pedestal as you raise him.

There's no one quite like Ye Seul, you know.

And who's his father, may I ask?

Darn you. You have no shame, do you?

I feel terrible as it is, so enough with the bashing.

Guilt overwhelms me whenever Ye Seul takes care of me.

I didn't do anything for him.

But he ran all the errands for me and looked after me.

And now he's taking care of me when I'm sick.

I'm too ashamed of myself to see him.

Just get better and carry him around on your back.

And keep your temper in check.

I should've asked the surgeon to get rid of your temper for you.

I guess the surgeon got rid of something else.

What?

She got rid of something else?

Then you don't have to worry about your prostate anymore.

Don't make me laugh.

Knock, knock.

Cheol Soo. Are you in there?

Where have you been?

I'm here to study.

I'm sorry, but I can't tutor you for a while.

Why not?

Some other time.

Don't worry about Dol Se. He'll be discharged soon.

I'm glad to hear that.

Well... About Unit 401.

Why did you tell her about the old-fashioned school?

She kept asking, so I had no choice.

She kept asking about what?

How tall you are. How much you weigh.

And if you're seeing anyone.

Why would she ask such useless things?

Why is it useless?

Those are the first things you need to know when you're dating.

What? When I'm dating?

I think she's interested in you.

But she didn't ask how much money you have.

I bet she didn't ask because the answer is obvious.

You know, you can be quite mean.

Not just a little. I'm really mean.

Cheol Soo.

I bought some freshly picked corn at the market.

Eat this and cheer up.

You looked a bit down, so I'm worried about you.

How did she know I like corn?

Let's see...

It does taste good.

Thank you for the corn.

(Safe Pregnancy Test)

Don't do this. Father is in the hospital now.

That's not it.

Honey.

I'm so sorry,

but I don't think we're ready to have a baby.

I said we won't have a baby until we move above ground.

Then what is this?

This isn't for me.

You thought it was for me.

Actually, Gwang Nam is trying IVF.

She came here to get some rest.

Don't tell anyone.

I see.

I hope she will get pregnant.

She seemed so envious of Gwang Tae at the housewarming.

I'll succeed soon so we can have a baby.

We offer different dishes every day. It's like a home-cooked meal.

Thank you. Please visit our restaurant.

We offer different dishes every day. It's like a home-cooked meal.

Hello. Please come and have lunch.

It's like a home-cooked meal. Thank you.

Hello, Auntie.

I made jeon with pollack and tofu.

He will like it, and it's good for his health.

Thank you, Auntie.

We should get him different dishes to boost his appetite.

It won't be too salty though.

How will you pay the hospital bills?

We will find a way.

You just got married, so you probably don't have enough.

This isn't much. Use this.

Thank you, Auntie.

I won't say no since it is an urgent matter.

I'll pay you back later.

Father, please try this.

It's good.

Did your aunt make it?

Yes. How did you know?

I just took a guess.

Tell her I said thanks.

I'll eat this and get better soon.

(Ilmiri Jjimdak)

- Are you serious? - Yes.

Your dad is an owner now.

It's all good if you're an owner or a chairman.

But when will I get to call you Dad?

I want to tell my kindergarten friends about you.

Wait a little more.

Ttu Gi, do you want some ice cream?

That sounds great!

Let's go.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

All right. In 1, 2, 3.

In 1, 2, 3.

Dad, Mom. I'm so happy now.

Isn't that what life is all about?

Let's live together like this for a long time.

- Darn it. - My goodness.

- Ttu Gi. - My gosh.

Gosh.

Go to the end of the world like that.

And don't come back!

This is really bad.

- Hello. - Hello.

- How may I help you? - I'm here to meet Chairman Heo.

Mr. Heo went on a business trip to Jeju Island.

May I ask what this is about?

Nothing. I'll come back later.

I have a lot of bills to pay now, so I have no money to lend you.

I'm sorry.

You're done singing, right?

- Well... - If that's the case,

do this with me.

We just opened a new branch,

but we have no one to take care of it.

If things go well,

you will make enough money to make a living.

Aren't you tired of borrowing money all the time?

- What is that? - What is it?

Is something there?

You seem to like it.

How cute.

Give me a kiss.

That's it. Well done.

(Mom and Baby goods)

It's so cute.

How tiny.

Please wrap these separately.

Sure.

What are you doing?

- Mother. - Why are you so surprised?

Why are you here? What did you buy?

It's for...

my sister. My youngest sister is pregnant.

One pair is enough for a newborn.

They can't even walk.

She's having twins.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Let's go, Blessing.

Honey.

Two lines.

For real?

It worked?

I'm not sure yet. It could be the hormones.

They'd go from one line to two,

then today I got two lines.

Let's stay calm and wait until the doctor confirms it.

She told you not to do this.

I can't help that I'm curious.

I really hope it works.

Blessing.

Tell your sibling to grow healthy.

What are you whispering to him?

It's nothing, Mother.

Did you badmouth me?

Why would I? There's nothing bad to say about you.

Blessing, she was nasty about me, wasn't she? What did she say?

I need you to start talking soon so I don't feel so bored.

Father, what happened? Why are you here?

My condition suddenly worsened, so I got admitted in a hurry.

What exactly is wrong with you?

You must be busy.

Can we go somewhere to talk?

Last night,

I suddenly collapsed and came here in an ambulance.

I actually have heart issues.

Heart issues?

The doctor said...

I could die at any moment,

so I must live each day as if it's my last on earth.

That I should eat what I want and see the people I want.

I could drop dead at any instant.

I don't mind dying,

but to think that...

I might die before hearing Gwang Tae call me "Dad..."

That's what saddens me the most.

Did you manage to get some money for me?

Not yet.

I'm sorry.

The truth is, I want to try a new medicine.

It's not covered by insurance and is really expensive.

I heard it works wonders though.

If I can use that new drug,

I might be able to last longer.

Oh, dear...

It's 10,000 dollars. I'll get more soon.

I feel bad, but I must take it.

Sure.

I should get better...

and hug my daughter before I die.

Thank you so much, Ki Jin.

I'll take you back to the hospital.

This will do. I can manage from here.

You should go.

I'll take you to your room.

No. I can get myself upstairs.

You must be busy. Go.

I'm off.

Goodbye.

(Karaoke, Live Music)

Perfect. 5,000.

Go.

Fine. 5,000.

Shall we stack it up?

I'll double that.

All in.

Come on.

Here's 10,000 dollars.

I see you've found a new wallet.

Is it an air-headed woman?

I don't know.

Quit asking questions and deal me a hand.

I'm coming for you all.

Did you come back after a while to take us all down?

Okay then. Let's play.

I called you to discuss your father's living arrangements.

Who's with him now?

Dae Chang, Ye Seul's friend.

We can't let him go home.

Who knows what could happen to him if he's left alone?

With his condition, he needs someone nearby.

If he's not found soon, he's as good as gone.

He got lucky this time.

We'll take him in.

Your place is so small.

This is just my idea, Bong Ja.

Can't he stay with me?

If you can cook for us,

I'd bring Dol Se home.

No, Dad. I don't want to put more on Auntie's plate.

It's tough to look after an ill person.

We'll look after him.

I'm okay with that.

I cook for your dad anyway. It's just another spot at the table.

That's easy to say.

I know how stressful it is to look after someone.

We'll take him in.

You're young and must work.

You can't focus on a sick old man.

Your dad and I would feel better if we looked after him.

Yes, let's do that.

I'd feel better having him around.

Also,

pay the hospital bills with this.

I asked my boss to pay me in advance.

It's 300 dollars.

I'm sorry it's not much.

No, Father. The bills are covered.

You needn't worry.

Take it anyway.

You'll need extra cash to look after a patient.

I'm sorry. Thank you so much.

This wouldn't have happened if I had a stable job.

I don't know what to say to either of you.

I won't forget this.

Thank you, Dad. I'll take it for now.

I spent what I'd saved up...

on the deposit for the house and on furniture,

so I have nothing left.

Thank you, Dad.

Auntie, you too.

I'm sorry to make you look after me my whole life.

It looks like Bong Ja saved us all again.

Thank you, Bong Ja.

It's the money from my dad and aunt.

It'll help cover the bills.

Is this enough?

It's more than enough.

Gwang Sik, if I hadn't met you,

I would've been all alone in this room.

Having you in my life has been...

I mean, not even my own brother cares.

How could I have gotten so lucky?

I've never felt this kind of reassurance before.

My dad would've offered more if he had the money.

My aunt too.

You're not alone anymore.

You now have a big family.

My dad, Aunt Bong Ja, Aunt Taeng Ja,

Gwang Nam, Byun Ho...

Thank you, my wife.

I'll start working as soon as my father is back home.

Make sure you know what to do around here.

Yes, sir.

I was just about to call you.

We should meet up.

The moving company?

Are you giving up on being a singer?

All hope is gone and I don't have the talent.

You had a good reason for not making it this time.

Let's try once more.

Your father made me promise him...

that I'd never let you give up.

Dae Chang, I'm not the same person anymore.

It's not just me against the world.

I'm a husband and a son with a sick father.

How can I dream of being a singer when I don't bring any money home?

I didn't have money to pay the hospital bills...

or room in my house to offer my dad.

I need to work hard and find a place for us and my dad.

I understand your situation,

but you've come too far to give up.

It has kept you going since you were 12.

You can't let 20 years of work go to waste.

I've tried enough.

In my later years,

I'll produce an album with my own money.

Thank you for helping me all these years.

We should soon gather to celebrate our run.

Once things clear up with my dad. I'll see you around.

What about me, who has been by your side all these years?

Shouldn't we at least go all the way?

Let's just try one last time.

I'm sorry, Dae Chang.

I'm afraid I don't have all of it.

He'll be discharged today, so could I pay within the week?

Or I could get it to you by tomorrow.

I'm sorry, but I can't allow that.

We can't let the patient go unless the bill is paid in full.

He's giving up?

Yes.

But I feel like this next try could be the one.

Let's be there for him so he doesn't have to give up...

on his dream.

I'll try my best, so help me out on this.

He'll be working at the moving company.

He already agreed to take on a branch!

There's no talking him out of it.

Gwang Sik, you seem gaunt as well.

You should take it easy.

What is it?

Ye Seul did what?

Okay, hang up for now.

What's wrong?

Look at this.

(Second-hand Market)

These are what we have at home.

He put them up for sale on an online second-hand market.

No way.

What do you think you're doing?

I have no use for these.

Is it because of the hospital bills?

You said you had it covered. How much more do you need?

Don't worry about it. He's my dad, okay?

I'm embarrassed that you had to go through this...

- when we just got married. - Don't be ridiculous.

We're a family now.

These won't even sell at a high price.

You bought used items or got them from friends.

Selling these can only get you less than 1,000 dollars.

That's a lot considering I'm strapped for cash.

I won't let you sell them. I'll keep them myself.

Anyone in your place would've tanked that audition.

Gwang Sik, look at me.

I'm done being an aspiring singer.

I can't waste another day in my life as one.

You can become a singer, not just aspire to be one.

Let's take it one step at a time again.

You only need to make it to the finals.

- This is your dream. - My dream?

I had no money to cover my dad's hospital bills...

and I don't bring home any money, so what good does a dream do?

This was your dream since you were 12,

so how can I cope with myself if you give up right after we marry?

This isn't just your dream, but mine as well.

It's your father's dream too.

You can't give up when we're all rooting for you.

It's all so burdensome.

Don't worry about the money.

I'll earn enough for us both.

I'm close to renewing my contract with the meal-kit company.

Can you stop saying things like that?

It's humiliating and it makes me feel pathetic.

We're a married couple.

Why would it humiliate you in any way?

This is how life is for everyone.

I'm a man. I'm the head of this household.

There's no such thing in this day and age.

All we have to do is get past this crisis.

Together, we'll find a way.

It's how I felt since our honeymoon.

From the car ride to the hotel room.

You ended up arguing with your sister...

in front of the whole family.

That's because...

It's how it is sometimes between girls.

You regret marrying me.

When did I say that?

I heard you on the phone with Gwang Nam.

I was just venting my frustration.

I realized it...

when I saw how bewildered you were at Gwang Tae's housewarming party.

Reality struck me hard...

when I heard you say...

we didn't have room in our house to invite your family.

Married women are judged...

not by their own success but by their husbands'.

You had no idea how powerful money could be.

I can barely put together a few thousand dollars,

but your sister's husband throws around six figures.

Of course you felt deprived.

- I'm not saying you're at fault. - That was just...

Quit dreaming...

that I'd dig you out of this hole after making it as a singer.

I don't have the talent or any luck.

Of course you have the talent.

- The situation that day... - Enough!

I'm done with it.

I can't do it anymore.

Truth be told, I...

If you keep practicing at this rate, you might not be able to sing again.

I don't want to sing anymore.

I'm sick and tired of it.

Okay, okay, it's okay

What about this is okay?

My life has never been okay,

so why on earth am I saying that it is?

It's exhausting...

and I don't want to sing anymore.

Don't think that my singing career will give you the life of a queen...

because I can't give you that.

What?

If that's why you married me,

rethink your decision.

My decision regarding what?

Our marriage.

We let our emotions rush us into marriage.

Even though I was poor,

I thought that our love would be enough.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Is marriage a joke to you?

(Revolutionary Sisters)

He won't even sing in the consolation match?

No, he's giving up on his singing career.

Even an opportunity like this? Please give it one more shot.

Do it for my sake then!

- You need 100,000 dollars? - Once I have that,

I won't be asking for more.

I guess I have no choice.

I'll just see my daughter once before I die.

So what if they get the wrong idea?

Are your daughters against you having a girlfriend?

A girlfriend?

What's this? I thought they were for your sister.

- It slipped my mind. - Are you pregnant?
