Then we can do that.

Don't worry about it.

Let's do that.

Let's live a happy, long life together here.

Sure.

My goodness!

Dear!

You want to live a happy, long life together in this house?

Mother, where did you get that shirt?

Huh?

Honey, why are you home so late?

You must be hungry.

She made some seafood stew for us.

Sweetie, come here and let's eat together.

Oh, goodness...

Wait, you don't eat shrimp, do you?

What's wrong with her?

Hey, listen up.

How would Mother feel if you just storm off like that?

What if her condition worsens?

I did some research on dementia...

and people are supposed to just go along with dementia patients.

If they get upset or sad,

their condition could worsen.

I'll borrow that book from the library tomorrow,

so you should read it.

And why do I have to read that book?

It'll help you understand better.

I really don't understand this situation right now.

I got divorced so that I wouldn't have to deal with you and your mother.

And you barge in here with her...

and claim my kitchen and bedroom!

What kind of ridiculous situation is this?

Oh, my goodness!

She has dementia!

And her memory stopped at when we first got married!

So what?

What do you mean, so what?

Did you forget why she has dementia in the first place?

She saw me get divorced on my 60th birthday party,

and you ruined my father's memorial service.

How was she supposed to not become mentally ill?

Fortunately, she erased all the bad memories,

and she's back to 35 years ago when everything was happy.

And you can't even let her have that?

How can you be so heartless?

As long as you and I work hard,

Mother might regain her memories.

Jung-gi, Ae-ja, let's eat dinner.

The food is getting cold.

Coming Mother!

You're just impossible!

I feel like I'm being reproached right now.

Just what did I do so wrong?

Jung-gi, open your mouth.

Ah.

Oh, it's so yummy, Mother.

Is it good?

Yes.

There were all kinds of things at the market.

I bought this and that on credit.

Oh, don't worry and buy whatever you need.

She'll pay for everything, Mother.

Oh, gosh! Seriously...

I feel like crying right now.

My gosh!

What's going on here? What is this situation?

I can't live like this!

Wait a minute...

What is this, anyway?

Thanks to you all,

the plans I had in mind are almost falling to pieces.

Our launching of the home shopping show...

is a great way to expand our brand image to the public.

How did the meeting with SH home shopping go?

Well, I did meet the people there.

But I'm concerned that the new design we'll be launching...

will conflict with our outdoor clothing designs.

And I feel like we have to meet eye-to-eye...

with their show host, who doesn't care about anything...

except selling more products.

What do you mean, meet eye-to-eye with the show host?

I mean, show host Ms. Hong Ae-ja.

She has heaps of problems.

What kind of problems?

I was told that she was notorious fo false advertising and dumping products.

She was recently on the news for that...

I don't know where you heard such nonsense,

but as far as I understand,

she got stuck with a lowlife customer...

who insisted that she refunded a product he had already used.

He viciously put the blame on the innocent host.

Don't you know spreading false rumors is what drives people to the edge?

Did you just say, lowlife customer?

I heard about this from an accurate source.

Ms. Hong is notorious for not giving free gifts...

that she promises on her show.

Accurate source?

Who? Who did you hear it from?

It's more than just accurate. It's from my very own fa...

Your very own fa...?

Your fa...?

Gosh, either way!

Why do you keep on taking that host's side?

Isn't it better for us to work with a show host with a good repuation?

Are you related to Ms. Hong Ae-ja in any way?

Why do you look so surprised?

I was just saying that...

You really must be related to her.

That will be all for this meeting.

Huh? Huh? What's wrong with her?

She must be feeling guilty, huh?

Ahh!

I'm going crazy!

What's wrong with her?

Why is she staring at me like that?

Is she threatening that she'll kill me...

if I say Ms. Hong is her mom?

What's wrong with me?

Why do I keep on seeing things?

Is it because I'm not getting enough sleep?

Mom?

Oh, hi.

Professor Ma, are you done with your lecture?

Yes.

How's your work, Mom?

Good.

I'm selling your mother-in-law's design on my TV show.

One of In-sung's employees is working with me,

and it's going pretty well so far.

That's good to hear.

Then the problem you had at work before is okay now?

Why, of course!

You know I wouldn't get shaken over something like that.

But sweetie, why do you sound so weak?

I'm fine.

I'm just a little tired.

How's your thesis going?

Well, of course.

Oh, Mom.

The topic for my thesis is actually something...

that Yale University is interested in.

So, if I publish my thesis,

I might be invited to that university.

Yale University?

Oh, goodness. That's wonderful!

Isn't that the university that you wanted to study at?

But how can I just pick up and go?

I have to take care of Mi-na.

Oh, goodness. Don't worry about a thing.

You have me, Sweetie.

I'll take care of Mi-na.

So you just go and do all the studies you want to do.

All right, Mom.

Professor, you're going to the U.S.?

You're still here?

Seung-geun,

it's a bad habit to eavesdrop on other's conversations.

I couldn't help but listen since we're in the same room.

Hello?

What?

Mi-na is still at kindergarten?

All right!

What do I do?

Mi-na, please don't cry.

I'm sorry for picking you up so late.

I was all alone in my classroom.

Hae-ji went home, Yoon-ah went home...

I'm sorry. Please?

I'm really sorry.

Oh, no. You have a fever! What should I do?

Mi-na, let's go to the hospital.

It's me. How come you didn't pick Mi-na up today?

I told you I'd be late today because I have to prepare for my thesis.

You ripped up the contract.

You promised you'd take care of all the house chores.

Still, shouldn't you be helping me in an emergency like this?

Mi-na is boiling up, we're at the ER right now.

If you picked her up earlier,

she could've taken her medicine earlier!

Stop making a fuss over a fever.

And if you're so worried, you should've taken better care of her.

Wow, that looks yummy.

I'm busy right now.

Talk to my mom for any house matters. Bye.

Is it good, Dad?

What's wrong? Who's sick?

Mi-na has a fever and was taken to the ER.

Really? She's not very sick, is she?

No, it's probably a slight fever, and Ji-sung is making a fuss.

It's her way of complaining to me.

If she does house chores more than me,

she always makes a fuss about it.

Makes a fuss?

My gosh!

Nobody can beat your mother in making a fuss.

Gosh, since she's out all the time these days,

I have more breathing space.

Gosh, you're much better off than me.

I have Mom and my wife to deal with.

Thank goodness the fever went down.

I should've just gone home if I had known...

Sorry for making you take care of Mi-na.

Kids tend to do that.

They pretend to be sick to get their mothers' attention.

When we were young, since Mom always tended to you...

since you were the weakest one,

In-sung and I used to pretend to be sick to get her attention.

Is that right?

Oh, and this is for your gastritis.

Oh, thanks.

Your gastritis is lasting too long.

You should get an examination.

Okay.

But I just don't have the time.

You were such a princess before you got married.

But after you got married,

you look more and more tired every time I see you.

Gosh...

I don't know why I decided to get married.

Everyone and everything is just waiting for me.

Rice cooker, dirty dishes, dirty house,

even my husband's dirty shirts!

And of course, it's my duty to take care of my daughter, too.

I miss the time when all I had to do was study while Mom cooked for me.

This is why I never want to get married.

And even if I do, it'll be with somebody who is just perfect in every aspect.

Would such a man exist?

I was really happy when I was dating Woo-jae.

I thought I'd be happy if I married him.

Oh, don't tell Mom that I brought Mi-na here today, okay?

All right.

We're home, Mi-na.

Come here.

Why are you home so late?

Why are you so surprised?

Mother...

Were you here all day?

No. I was working all day.

I'm exhausted, but what can I do?

You should've learned all this from your mother,

but since you couldn't, I have no choice but to teach you from A to Z.

Since I have to teach you everything,

I'll just have to do this even though I'm tired.

You'll first learn to clean the house...

and then learn about cooking.

If you learn to cook from me,

you'll be able to make any high-end dishes.

Not anybody can just meet someone like me...

as their mother-in-law.

Consider yourself extremely lucky.

I should teach you how to set the rice.

Come with me.

Mi-na, go to your room and sleep.

My gosh...

If he's not coming back, he should've let me know.

Hang on.

What's this smell?

Seung-geun! Something is burning!

Oh, goodness!

Oh, gosh!

He burnt the entire kimchi stew!

You idiot, you can't sleep with this on the stove!

You almost burned the house down!

I just dozed off.

Why, you...!

When did you cook the rice?

Why didn't you stir the rice?

It's just stuck together!

The people I hate most...

are the ones who don't stir the rice after cooking it!

All you have to do is stir it to make it perfect,

but your laziness ruined perfectly fine rice!

Darn it, wait until Jung-ie gets home!

Why are you putting the blame on Jung-ie?

In place of your mother,

she helped me do all kinds of house work ever since she was little.

You can't even heat up stew and make rice?

Don't you even feel sorry for your sister?

I'm so busy with my studies!

No, you're not!

You're always on the floor sleeping!

Jung-ie has classes and has to work.

She also takes care of you and your brother!

But what time is it right now?

How come she's still not home yet?

[HELP WANTED 7pm ~ 1am]

I...

Hello. For how many people?

Actually, can I do part-time work...

during the day, not at night?

If you work well for a few days, I'll change your shift.

Start from today.

Mr. So.

Make color prints and two-sided.

Gosh...

What the...?

Why is she staring at me?

Hello, Sung-chan?

Oh...

Now, I see him fully clothed.

Gosh.

Something must be wrong with me since I saw him naked!

So you're saying that she sneaked into your room that night?

Yeah.

You two slept together?

That's what I'm saying...

No, nothing happened.

When we opened our eyes, we were on the same bed.

So you're upset because...

you wanted something to happen, but nothing happened?

What do you mean, I wanted something to happen?

I had no idea that she was sleeping right next to me.

So you're wondering why she snuck into your room...

if she wasn't going to do anything?

Yeah, that's exactly...

No, that's not what I'm saying.

Then what? What did she say to you exactly?

Didn't she at least explain herself?

No, she didn't.

She accused me of sneaking into her room.

And she said she's stepped on poo.

What does that make me?

Maybe you went into her room then.

Am I crazy?

I can't stand the sight of that woman!

And come to think of it, that morning...

I was there naked, so the natural reaction...

of a normal girl would be to cover her eyes or be embarrassed,right?

But she had her eyes wide open,

and she was looking at every inch of my body.

And today I went to the home shopping network...

And the host of the show was her mother!

What do you think of that?

Does she think I'm her butler? Or her slave?

The host is her mother?

Ha!

What?

Hey, I know the truth now.

I think Ms. Ma has feelings for you.

Get out of here!

No. No.

The more I think about it,

this mysterious puzzle is falling into place.

So when Ms. Ma saw you at the airport for the first time,

she fell in love with you.

Something was odd about her.

Right.

And that's why she put down your name on her new team.

You remember, don't you?

You didn't want to go, but she practically dragged you to her team.

Don't you know you were transferred to my team from today?

No, no way!

She just has a nasty personality, that's all.

No. No. Hear me out.

On the day of the hike, she made you stay.

Yeah. She made me clean the office for no apparent reason.

Yes, that must've been because...

she wanted to drive there with you alone.

Don't you see that?

You think so?

And when we got there, I was about to have some fun,

but she insisted that we go back to the office.

And the reason I dozed off that night while driving...

Somebody drugged you?

No way!

You're losing your mind, buddy.

The reason she sent you to her mother...

is to ask her mother whether you're okay as her match.

Wow, I didn't think she would be so thorough.

She must be thinking of marrying you, too.

Hey, you're not making any sense!

Who would want to marry somebody like her?

Is it Ms. Ma?

Yes.

Answer it. Come on.

Hello, it's me.

Where am I?

Do I have to report to you everywhere I go?

Why are you so obsessed with me?

Hey, how dare you say I'm obsessed with you!

Why didn't you give me your report on the home shopping?

Mr. So, I'll have a word with you tomorrow!

Has this dude completely lost his mind?

But don't normal girls act nicely to the guys that they like?

She treats me like crap.

She's really harsh to me.

She must be doing that...

so that nobody would sense that she likes you.

And sometimes she hides her eyes with her hands...

when she's talking to me.

Oh... she's more innocent than she seems.

How can she look straight into your eyes...

when she saw you naked?

It seems like she's just a shy girl after all.

No way, and sometimes she stares at me like crazy.

That's because she's madly in love with you, you fool.

You know what kind of girls I like.

Girls have to be sweet, and nice, and quiet.

I'm pretty sure she has feelings for you, dude.

I can't stand that even more!

I hate that!

Hey, listen up, buddy.

You shouldn't deny the situation.

I'm not asking you to like her back.

Or asking you to marry her.

That's not what I'm saying at all.

You should use this dynamic well...

so that you can seek revenge...

on everything she's done to you until now.

Stop right there!

Dad...

Why are you home so late at this hour?

Just what evil deed were you doing?

I was working late at the beauty salon...

Don't give me those lies!

I called your boss, and she said that...

you left the beauty salon without filling in your hours.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Why, you brat!

Where are you going around so late at night?

Are you going to get your act together...

after I beat the daylights out of you?

I'm so sorry.

You said it was your dream to become a hairstylist.

Against my will, you went to a two-year college.

And now you're misbehaving?

Why can't you tell me what you were up to?

Dad!

Just talk to her. Please...

Dad, I wasn't doing anything wrong.

Then what were you doing all this time?

Hurry up and tell me the truth!

You!

You were hanging out at a chicken diner, huh?

What?

Jung-ie, were you drinking? Huh?

No, I wasn't!

I wasn't eating any chicken, either!

Why, you brat!

How dare you raise your voice at me?

Go over there and hold up your hands!

Now!

I'm home.

Why aren't you all sleeping yet?

You're home?

Gosh, I'm so upset right now!

Gosh!

Jung-ie, you're being punished?

Seung-geun.

What did she do wrong?

She skipped work and hung out at a chicken diner.

I didn't skip work!

I filled all of my hours.

Your boss told Dad everything.

That's all right. Jung-ie, it's okay.

Put your arms down.

Tell me the truth.

You wanted to eat chicken?

You think I'm a little girl?

No one from our family understands me!

She seems really upset.

She's just going through puberty.

Go to sleep, boys!

All right, Dad!

Good night. Pick that up, too.

So you wanted me to raise our three kids all alone?

Is that it?

Is that why you left me all alone in this world?

My gosh...

I think Ms. Ma has feelings for you.

You have a six-pack.

No way!

Gosh, it makes no sense!

Wow, what a nice piece of art.

It's just a piece of art!

Gosh, this is great.

Oh, it's so loud in there.

They were sleeping quietly yesterday,

but now they're sleeping like it's their bedroom.

Hang on just a minute.

Sweetie, come here and let's eat together.

Oh, goodness.

Wait, you don't eat shrimp, do you?

I only stopped eating shrimp from last year...

because I got sick while eating them.

That's when I stopped eating shrimp.

How does she remember that...

if her memory is stuck at when we got married?

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Preview]

She was fired from Home Shopping.

Is she giving her work because she's her mother?

Let them do whatever they'd like.

It's me, your husband Ma Jung-gi.

Whose husband?

I don't have a husband.

I don't think it's right for you to do this even at my work.

You're more selfish than I thought.

Huh?

What are you seeing?

A naked guy's body.

What?

Get it together. Get it together.

What do I do?
