[Episode 31]

Where have you been?

Hi.

Gosh...

life is so tough.

I know what you mean.

That's what I wanted to say.

I went to the court earlier.

To register our divorce papers.

So you met your wife after all?

I don't know how she found out,

but she came to look for me here.

But how could you just do it without putting up a fight?

You should've said no.

You should've resisted.

There are many things...

that you don't know about our marriage.

I should've dealt with it sooner.

I just tried to avoid it because I was scared,

and now it became too big for me to deal with.

This is my child.

My son who passed away...

Huh?

Oh, and your dad is doing really well.

So don't worry about him.

You met with Dad?

We went to the court to register our divorce papers.

Really?

I can't just hold on to the signed papers.

I can be legally divorced after the proper ruling.

Anyway, your dad always seems to have things easy.

He lives in a pretty spacious, clean, and decent place.

I was relieved to see that he was living in a nice place, Mom.

You've been there, too?

Yes, it was right across the street.

He looked clean as if he just came from a sauna.

He looked like he was in better condition than me.

I know he complains about life,

but he's doing well,

so don't worry.

Oh, did Director Ahn get discharged yet?

No, not yet.

He must really love being in the hospital.

Really?

What's wrong with him?

When will he do his work for the company?

I know. Even I'm worried.

He keeps airing pilot programs for the "It's On Hong Ae-ja" slot.

And why is Ms. Jung so terrible at being a host?

She talks too fast for people to understand.

All her viewers at that hour are the elderly.

Mom, did you decide where you're going to work?

I should take my time picking a place...

since once I decide, I'd have to stay for a long time.

Hee-sung, I'm going to stop by Ji-sung's to drop off some porridge,

then come to the hospital to drop off ginseng tea for you.

You're going to take Ji-sung some porridge?

She said she was going to make it herself from now on.

Is that what Ji-sung said?

She said she'd make it on her own?

Yes.

It's because she doesn't want you to do all the hard work.

Let her try doing it herself, Mom.

But she can't make porridge on her own.

That's just a waste of time.

Don't wait up since I won't make it in time, Hee-sung.

Okay. Call me when you get there.

Ma Hee-sung!

Why did you say that to Mom about Ji-sung?

Why not? Mom puts in so much effort making porridge,

but Ji-sung doesn't appreciate it.

It's not that she doesn't appreciate it.

She just feels bad to Mom these days.

She should feel bad.

Ji-sung is married,

but there's nothing she can do on her own except studying.

She's the weakest, and she takes up most of Mom's time.

Hey!

You can't say that.

I'm sure you don't remember, since you were little,

but she supported Mom the most when Mom was going through hard times.

That's why Mom feels bad for Ji-sung.

What's up with her, anyway?

She depended on Mom the most until now,

but now that she doesn't need her help,

she's telling us not to depend on her?

Gosh!

How can you say that?

Ji-sung didn't depend on Mom that much.

You know I'm right.

Mom took care of her, even after she got married and Mi-na is all grown up.

But now that she feels bad,

she's telling us not to depend on Mom.

I think if Ji-sung had a good marriage,

Mom wouldn't have to go through all this with her Home Shopping work.

Ji-sung didn't do it on purpose.

I'm a first year resident.

It's too hard for me without Mom's help.

I hope she stops telling me not to depend on her.

In-sung, what are you doing? You'll be late.

Okay, I'm leaving.

What's wrong with everyone?

Why can't everyone just take things easy?

She's not a woman to me... Not a woman...

Have you had feelings for anyone?

I don't want to waste my time...

wasting my emotions on people.

I already told you that's why I only focus on my work.

Jung-geun, food is ready.

Okay, Dad.

Hi, Jung-geun. Come sit down.

Okay.

And Jung-ie, you quit your part-time job right away.

Answer him now!

Jung-ie has a part-time job?

I thought you'd be busy with your training work.

That's what I mean.

She skipped all of her training work and got a part-time job...

because all she cared about was money.

It's not like that.

What do you mean?

I'm going to check all your training work hours from now on,

so don't even think about lying to me again.

Ms. Tiny.

I'm not tiny anymore.

Is everything okay these days?

You can talk to your big brother.

Why didn't you go to your training work?

Was it too hard?

It's not because it was hard.

Then what?

I went to my training work,

and they didn't pay me the money they promised.

They only paid for my transportation.

Is a trainee their slave or something?

But if you want to become a hair designer,

you have to go to your training and graduate, too.

When did I ever say I wanted to be a hair designer?

Isn't that why you insisted on going to a vocational school?

I went to a vocational school...

because I wanted to graduate quickly and earn money.

You were just a rookie at your work with a small paycheck,

and Seung-geun wanted to start his PhD program again.

I didn't want to be a burden to our family.

What the...?

Who asked you to worry about that?

You're thinking like an old lady.

What else was I supposed to do?

I feel so bad for Dad.

He has so many grey hairs because of us.

I don't want him to become old after sacrificing so much for us.

Why, that girl...

Why would she feel bad for me?

Goodness.

Even our youngest one cares so much for our family...

I should pay closer attention to our family.

I didn't have a chance to write my housekeeping book for a week.

Let's see.

Why did I spend so much on living expenses?

This is a big problem.

Gosh, where have I been wasting money?

Goodness.

We spent twice as much on food.

Since I've been cooking for Mr. Ma,

we're spending twice as much on our living expenses.

Goodness.

Since we're not getting the rent money, our income is decreasing,

but our spending has increased.

But he's my old superior from the Marines,

who went through so much for me.

What should I do?

Gosh, gosh. This is a problem.

[Hello. I'm doing well. How are you doing?

I'll keep in touch again. Thank you.

[Hello. I'm studying hard and eating well.

How is everything? Don't worry about me. Good bye.]

[Doctor Kim Sung-ho 02-301-6799]

[The number you have dialed is does not exist...]

[Jin Sung Hospital 02-301-8744]

Hello?

Is this Jin Sung Hospital?

May I speak with Dr. Kim Sung-ho?

We don't have anyone by that name.

Well, he worked in the cardio department around 1987.

We don't have any record of it since that was a long time ago.

Ah, I see.

I couldn't keep in touch with him since I was just busy with life.

How would I find him?

How come he stays in his room so much lately?

He talked about his dead son.

I wonder why.

Was he too shocked after going to the court?

Mr. Ma, are you on your way to work?

No.

I'm going out to take care of something.

How come you don't go out to the publishing company these days?

Oh, nothing changes even if I go or not.

So they still pay you even though you're not at the office?

Pay?

I don't get paid a cent.

You're not getting paid?

Then why do you go out to the publishing company?

I signed a contract for a poem book a long time ago,

but I'm just going to write a special piece for them.

Oh, so you work by contract.

So you probably received some initial payment.

Oh, I already used that 10 years ago.

So you don't have any income?

Where do you think I could get an income?

Then what are you going to do in the future?

Gosh, I don't have any answers yet.

I'll be back.

Okay.

Gosh...

He has a perfectly fine house and children.

But his life is a mess...

because he met a lousy wife.

We have less than three weeks left.

You've been working so hard on an unfamiliar sales strategy...

under a team leader with many rumors.

But I believed in our team.

I already told you that you're dark horses for our team.

It might be a short period before seeing any solid sales results,

but since we've been working hard until now,

this will be a great experience for all of us.

Mr. So, are you not feeling well?

Mr. So.

Mr. So Jung-geun!

Ms. Ma is talking to you.

Huh?

What did you say, Ms. Ma?

He must not be feeling well.

Yu Min-chul, please work with him.

As I mentioned before,

please find out if we're going to generate all of JW products on our system...

or only the new items.

Please do research on our competitors' cases as well.

Let's have a good day today!

Have a good day.

Thank you.

Ms. Ma.

What is it this time?

What's your relationship with Senior Director Kim?

Why do you ask about him all of a sudden?

You have no consistency. None whatsoever.

What are you talking about?

You said you didn't want to waste your time on emotions, right?

So what?

Tell me about the rumors about you and Senior Director Kim.

Please explain that to me.

Rumors about me and him? Who is talking about us?

So they're wrong, huh? They're false rumors, right?

Even if it were true,

I don't know why I would need to discuss this with you.

Don't worry about the rumors and just focus on your work.

Is it true?

Mr. So.

Do you like him? Is that it?

Mr. So, you just crossed the line.

Is this an appropriate conversation between a boss and her subordinate?

That's enough.

Oh, no!

Gosh, it'll get all stuck at the bottom.

Mom.

Hi, Ji-sung.

You're not out for your lecture?

Gosh, what is all this?

I tried making some porridge.

Goodness, why did you do such a thing?

You know I'll bring you some, even if you don't ask.

Your mother-in-law was here, wasn't she?

No.

Then what is all this mess?

She's on your case again, isn't she?

It's not like that.

It's my turn to clean the house, so I'm trying to clean everything.

You just clean what is immediately necessary.

Why did you create more work for yourself?

Even if your mother-in-law gives you a hard time,

you just sit back and don't do anything.

If I don't do anything, then who would do it?

This is my house.

You have me.

I'll take care of it for you.

My goodness!

Look at this porridge!

It's all stuck at the bottom.

We have to throw this out.

Gosh, Mom.

Why would you want to throw it out?

How can you eat this burnt porridge?

Besides, there's no nutrition if you make porridge with only rice.

You should add beef or even oysters.

Okay.

I get it. I'll make it that way next time,

so you don't need to bring me porridge anymore.

Ji-sung, what's wrong with you?

Why would you want to do...

this unnecessary labor when you're already so busy?

Why are you saying this is unnecessary?

It's my fault for depending on you and making you to do everything for me.

I understand what you're saying.

You don't need to say anything more.

Take out the porridge and try some.

I'll finish this for you.

Mom, I told you not to do this.

I'll take care of my own house chores.

Patient Ahn, we'll have an echocardiographic assessment.

Dr. Ma, please leave that there and sit down.

Huh?

You don't want the assessment?

Let's just say I got the assessment and talk a little bit.

If you don't want it, then I'll be leaving.

Just stay for five minutes.

I have something to say.

Look.

Five minutes for a doctor can mean saving one more patient's life.

I get that you're a doctor.

If you invest that five minutes in me,

then your life might change, too.

I'm not so sure.

I don't want you to change my life.

Dr. Ma...

Dr. Ma!

Why is she so stubborn?

I'm going to win her over,

no matter what!

How dare he play stupid with me?

Gosh, Director Ahn.

I just heard that you were at the hospital.

Designer Huh!

Isn't that Ji-sung's mother-in-law?

Gosh.

Dad!

Hi, Hee-sung.

You must be busy.

A little bit.

What are you doing here?

Is something wrong?

No, not at all.

I came to find out something,

but I'm not sure where to go.

Let me ask you something, Hee-sung.

Sure.

You might know since you're part of the cardio department, too.

Have you heard of Dr. Kim Sung-ho?

I'm not sure.

I don't think he's part of our department.

Really?

I think he'd be about 70 years old.

He's one of the famous doctors in the field.

I'm not sure.

I'll ask the other doctors.

Okay, please do that for me.

Okay.

Oh, Dad.

Mom is on her way here. Do you want to see her?

Your mom is on her way?

Yes, she's bringing me ginseng tea.

You know, Hee-sung...

Don't tell your Mom what I just asked you, okay?

Okay?

Why not?

Well... that's...

This has nothing to do with your mom.

I just need to find out for my personal reasons.

I don't want her to worry about it.

Okay?

Please?

Okay.

Okay, then.

Please ask around and let me know.

I'm leaving.

Okay, Dad. Goodbye.

Okay, bye.

What are you doing here?

Oh, you're here?

I just asked what you were doing here.

Did you come here to ask Hee-sung for a favor?

Well, I came here to take care of something...

and stopped by to say hello to Hee-sung.

Take care of what?

Well...

Um...

Why are you so curious?

I thought we were supposed to be divorced now.

Fine, then.

Leave already.

Oh, okay.

Hee-sung.

Mom.

What was that?

Why was your dad here?

Did he come for some check-up?

No, it wasn't that.

Then what?

Why did he come to your hospital?

He said not to tell you since it's not a big deal.

Well, if it's not a big deal, tell me. Why was he here?

He asked me to look for someone.

Who?

He told me not to tell you.

You can tell me anything.

Who was he looking for?

Dr. Kim Sung-ho.

Dr. Kim Sung-ho? Who's that?

I don't know him.

He said he was about 70 years old,

so I don't think other doctors would know him, either.

I wonder who he is.

Why did he come to you to ask you to look for him?

Maybe he needs to find him for his writing.

Why would he bother my busy daughter to look for someone for him?

He should've just looked for him on his own.

It's okay, Mom.

Oh, and you know Designer Huh?

Ji-sung's mother-in-law...

She came to see patient Ahn Jin-bong.

She brought a big fruit basket, too.

Director Ahn was so happy to see her.

Gosh...

Why would he welcome someone who canceled the show?

It's something SH can sue Huh Eun-sook for.

How would a rookie like him...

manage my precious Home Shopping Company?

Your precious company?

You already quit.

You were going to work for a new company.

You're right.

Are you hot?

No.

Then why are you fanning?

Mr. So.

Don't mind me, and just do your work.

What is this?

You must be thirsty.

Go back to your desk.

Okay.

Can someone come to the storage with me?

To look for an old document...

Sure.

Please look for sales documents from ten years ago.

Okay.

Mr. So.

What is it?

I can't come?

It's not that.

Okay. Look for the documents from ten years ago.

Fine.

It's right here.

I'll do it.

Please take everything out from there.

Okay.

How are you going to carry everything at once?

I don't want to waste time going back and forth.

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Preview]

Why did you go to pick her up?

She's my granddaughter, too.

Please.

Why would you want to deny natural feelings?

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm getting discharged today.

I'll be leaving.

I'm at your mom's home.

I'm taking Mi-na back. I just wanted you to know.

Oh, hello!

Hi, there!

Can I see you for a minute later?

I'll go to somewhere near your place.

No, I have nothing sto talk about.
