[Episode 35]

Mom, are you sleeping?

What do you mean he enjoyed his life?

I'm sure he struggled as much as you did.

I regret that I didn't stop you from getting divorced to Dad.

I didn't say anything then because I thought you had your reasons,

and I thought you'd feel better by getting those divorce papers signed.

It's not because I thought everything you did was right.

[Little Hong Ae-ja]

Hello?

Why are you calling me at this hour, Doctor Ma?

Mom!

Mom, how come you sound so weak?

I'm not weak.

I'm just sleepy, that's all.

Then should we hang up?

Oh, no.

I'm happy to hear your voice, sweetie.

I was feeling a bit lonely just now.

Why?

Are you upset because you met with some strange man about Dad?

How did you know that?

In-sung and Ji-sung came by to the hospital earlier.

I see.

What did your sisters say?

They wanted to find a place for Dad.

In-sung ended up saying that?

That's what she and Ji-sung wanted?

So you know what I said?

"If Mom finds out, would she be happy?

And since Mom takes care of my paychecks,

I have no money."

Good job.

I got into an argument with In-sung for suggesting that.

She should know what I went through better than anyone.

Ji-sung is so cold to me these days, too.

Mom, I know that.

So I told Ji-sung off, too.

I reminded her that she got...

your love and care the most among us.

And that she shouldn't make you upset.

Oh, goodness.

You're the best, sweetie.

You always understand how I feel.

Mom, Mom, Mom.

Do you want to hear something funny?

You know, Director Ahn Jin-bong, right?

Well, he came by today with flowers.

Oh, my goodness! Oh, my gosh!

He shouldn't even dream about you.

I can't believe this.

Yup, I'm not an easy girl to get.

So I told him to come back after finding out who my mom is.

Oh, goodness! You're so smart!

You're the best, Hee-sung.

I woke up too late today.

Why didn't you wake me up, Mom?

Hurry up and eat before you go.

Mom, you must be upset at me.

I'm not a child. Why would I be upset?

Mommy...

Cut it out, will you?

I had to do something for Dad.

I heard that you met Hee-sung and Ji-sung...

and suggested collecting money.

Hee-sung tattletaled on me already?

You thought you could keep this a secret from me?

You think you can do anything without me finding out?

What exactly are you trying to do?

I'll take care of it.

How are you going to do that?

You're going back the Boston headquarters in 2-3 months.

Don't worry.

See you later!

Don't concern yourself over your dad.

You just focus on your work.

Good morning.

Hi, Ms. Ma.

Ms. Ma! Ms. Ma!

Doesn't he look like he lost a ton of weight?

He must've been sick. Or are you on a diet?

I came down with the flu.

Mr. Park.

How is the supply control looking?

It's not going too well,

but I don't see any major problems so far.

Well, not having any major problems is the problem.

That means we're not having enough sales.

Director Jung set the distribution price up too high,

so it's really hard to overcome that and lead to pure profits...

I think we've done everything we possibly could.

I'm sure if we had more time,

we would get good results.

The problem is that we don't have enough time.

I collected all the hottest-selling products from the offline stores.

We should re-display with these most popular products.

Here is the list of the products.

I...

Thanks for your good idea during the meeting.

You don't need to thank me.

That was my work when I was on the sales team.

I...

Gosh.

What a relief.

He's finally come back to his senses.

How come the person who created all the problems is most relaxed?

I bet he has no idea what's going on.

Why do you keep on calling me?

You have no idea that ou flipped our entire family...

upside-down, do you?

What do you mean our family is flipped upside-down?

Your Marine friend didn't mention anything?

You mean, Mr. So?

He's sick and can't talk right now.

What about him?

Just what kind of person is he, anyway?

He's a crook, isn't he?

What? A crook?

No, he's not!

He's being so nice to me...

because we were in the Marines together.

He's not accepting any rent money from me...

and giving me food to eat for free, too.

You're just so naive.

You think crooks advertise that they're crooks?

He claimed to be your rep,

and he told me to cut all of my assets in half.

He must've said that...

because he knows that I got divorced and kicked out of the house.

Did you yell at him or something?

My gosh!

Are you saying what I did was wrong?

Do you even realize what kind of trouble he has caused me?

Because he went on that demonstration about the refund,

I got fired from my home shopping show!

That can't be possible.

Do you know how polite and honest Mr. So is?

He wouldn't have said that about you over nothing.

I'm sure he had his reasons.

Are you implying that I got fired because I was wrong?

Gosh, I wondered why Mr. So suddenly got sick,

now I see that he got sick because of you!

Hang up now!

What?!

I just told him that I lost my job because of him,

and he's still taking that jerk's side?

He just doesn't know anything.

He should be taking my side right now.

Good grief!

He's of no help whatsoever in my life!

What's wrong with Mr. So?

Why did he do something I told him not to...

and get an earful from my wife?

What should I do about it?

I can't turn a blind eye on him...

when I know he's sick because of her.

I should go downstairs and see if he's better.

Gosh, is that all you can come up with?

Marines?

You're full of it!

I can't take this!

Goodness... I can't take this!

My gosh!

How dare she stomp all over my Marine pride?

Oh, goodness! Oh, goodness!

What? I'm a crook?

And what?

I took money from the home shopping program?

I've never before been more humiliated in my life!

Oh, goodness! My goodness!

I have to send Mr. Ma away right away.

Being connected to him will only make things worse.

Dad, where are you going?

Have some rice porridge.

Goodness grief, Mr. So!

Are you better now?

What are you doing?

I just heard what happened.

You met with my wife?

You didn't know that until now?

Did she give you an earful?

She gave me more than an earful.

She stomped all over my Marine pride...

and didn't even look apologetic.

That's why I told you to not mention anything...

about dividing her assets with me.

Well, didn't you tell me to talk to her...

since you were so upset about being kicked out?

Either way, I already warned you...

that my wife is a handful to handle.

I'm a former general of the Marines,

but I got kicked out of the house by her.

Well, you must be so proud of yourself.

Why didn't you tell me...

that your wife was Hong Ae-ja from the TV home shopping show?

She's the show host, Hong Ae-ja!

Oh, I just heard about that, too.

You told me that you were demonstrating at some company,

but I had no idea that my wife was involved in it.

Did she mention that to you?

She must've said I ruined it for her.

Well, it's true that she's upset with you,

but I bet you had your reasons for doing what you did.

I was so happy to reunite with the man who saved my life,

but I think we should end our friendship now.

I want you to move out in the next few days.

Goodness! Mr. So, why are you doing this to me?

Let me apologize on behalf of my wife.

Mr. So.

How is cleaning upstairs going?

Good.

Be careful with things upstairs.

Why isn't she picking up my call?

Hello, Mother?

Hi.

Ji-sung...

Did you give it some thought about moving in here?

I want you to be open to the idea.

Mother...

We'll move in.

Really?

Wow, that's good thinking!

Since you made up your mind,

don't delay it and move in next week.

I'll change the upstairs interior for you.

Bye.

That's funny.

I expected her to rebel.

This is no fun.

Hang on.

I should let her know of this happy news.

Hello, Ms. Huh. It's me.

What pleasure do I owe this call?

I'm not busy at all.

I even quit my job, remember?

Pardon?

You need my help?

Well, all right.

All right.

Please wait a little bit, then.

I'm sorry it took me so long.

I'm the one who called you out so suddenly.

Did you have lunch yet?

Of course. I ate at home.

Coffee?

Coffee, please.

What's with the interior design magazines?

You know how my upstairs was vacant for a while now.

I wanted to change the interior upstairs.

Oh, I see.

Your second son must be coming back home after his studies.

Oh, no.

It'll take a long time for Sun-jae to finish his degree.

Then why are you suddenly redecorating the rooms?

I'll tell you all about it later.

Can you take a look at these first?

I thought that you'd make much better chic choices than myself.

You're just as chic as I am.

Well, you know what younger people know better than me.

Can you take a look at these wallpapers?

Is this better or this one?

I think this one over here would look cooler.

It's actually trendier, too.

Should I go with this, then?

I'll get going now.

Good job today.

Good night.

I'll get going first.

Mr. So.

Yes?

You got sick because you were drenched with rain that night, right?

Yes, so?

I'm so sorry...

Sorry about what?

Well, I...

If you have nothing more to say, I'll get going.

[So Jung-geun]

[Ms. Ma In-sung]

Dad!

Oh, In-sung.

Sit down.

Why did you come all the way here?

You could've just called me.

Well, I just wanted to see you, Dad.

I see.

I heard that you and your mom met with Mr. So.

Yes.

At first, we misunderstood him for a strange person.

Gosh, your mom must've given him an earful.

Well, Mom suffered a lot...

at her work because of what he did before.

And at the end of the day, she had to quit her job.

It's natural for her to be upset with him.

Well, Mr. So took me in and took care of me.

If it wasn't for him,

I might've become homeless.

Right.

I'm now very thankful to him.

But Dad,

are you going to continue to stay in his rooftop house?

Huh?

Well, it's not like I have any other choice.

I wish you'd come back home,

but Mom is so against it.

Why don't you move to a little better place?

Oh, gosh...

Wherever I move to, it still won't be my house.

I won't feel happy anywhere, anyway.

You know, actually, I like my little rooftop room.

I've grown to like the place.

If it's money you're worried about, you have us.

No way.

No matter what happens to me, I'll never depend on my girls.

Even if I should become a homeless person,

I refuse to get any help from you girls.

I just hope I get to see you once in a while like this.

I can still afford to treat you to some noodles.

I know, Dad.

You should go home now. Don't worry about me.

All right.

Go home now. I'll call you later.

All right. Bye.

Did Dad have dinner?

Yeah, he had a little bit of rice porridge.

But you know what?

What?

Hey, Dad told us not to tell him what happened!

Hurry up and tell me.

I have to know what's going on here.

Actually, Mr. Ma's wife and daughter came by yesterday.

What for?

They demanded to know whether Dad was...

swindling Mr. Ma of money.

What?

What's the matter with those people?

After everything Dad has done for Mr. Ma?

They wanted to know if Dad got a bunch of free stuff by doing the demonstration.

And they accused Dad of swindling his money from his officetel.

Then why did Dad just sit back and listen?

Well, it's because Mr. Ma's wife is...

Hey!

Tell me!

She's the show host Hong Ae-ja!

What?!

The show host from "It's On Hong Ae-ja?"

Yeah...

So, Mr. Ma's wife is Hong Ae-ja and...

his daughter is your boss...

Hong Ae-ja's daughter turns out to be your nasty boss.

So Dad kept quiet because he didn't want her to give you hard time at work.

He was really upset, but he let them go.

Why would he do that?

Dad, why did you keep quiet?

You should've said everything you had on your mind.

Big deal if her daughter is my boss.

Why didn't you just give her a piece of your mind?

Those brats told you what happened already?

Dad, did you forget your Marine spirit?

You raised us with that spirit.

No matter the consequences,

you have to fight for what is right.

That's how you raised us.

Who cares about my work?

Why would you let them stomp all over you like that?

Dad...

I can't let this slide.

I'm going to go and let them know they're wrong about you.

Jung-geun! Jung-geun! Jung-geun!

Jung-geun!

Hey, what are you waiting for?

Hurry up and stop him!

Jung-geun...

Jung-geun.

Where is Jung-geun going?

Where do you think?

He must be going to his boss' house.

He knows where she lives?

Jung-geun knows everything.

I know that, but how does he know where she lives?

Well, he probably knows where his boss lives...

Quiet!

What are you two bickering about this time?

Who cares how Jung-geun knows where she lives?

What do I do about this?

Why are you outside?

Have you seen Jung-geun running out?

No.

I took the other street because I wanted to take a walk.

Why?

What's the matter?

My son is heading to your wife's house...

because he's so upset about what happened.

When he heard what your wife accused me of,

he got so upset that he ran out just now.

Huh?

How does he know where my wife lives?

Because your daughter...

is my son's boss at work.

Huh?

Oh! That's right!

You said your son goes to JW.

But he works on the same team as my daughter?

Yes.

Oh, goodness!

What do I do about this?

Why don't you stay at home?

I'll go out and look for him.

Wait, that's so strange.

They live all alone in that big house.

Why would she suddenly redecorate upstairs?

She said her second son still has a long way to go with his studies.

At least she admits that I have a good sense of things.

If she decorates it the way I tell her,

the house will look great.

Hello, my sweetie pie.

You're calling me, sweetie pie?

Grandma, when can we play the board game again?

Oh, you wanted to play board games with me again?

Should I go and pick you up tomorrow?

Yes, Grandma. But you have to hurry.

Because Mom and I are moving into my other grandma's house soon.

So I can't see you.

What?

You're moving into your grandma's house?

Yes. We're moving into the upstairs of her house.

Oh, right!

Mom told me not to tell you.

I'm hanging up, Grandma.

Mi-na.

What's going on here?

I'm home.

Hi, there.

Did you have dinner yet?

I don't have an appetite.

Hey, In-sung.

Hey...

In-sung.

Did you hear anything from Ji-sung yesterday?

About what?

Did she say she was moving into her in-law's house?

Oh, she did say she might move in.

But she said it wasn't decided yet.

If you heard something like that, you should've told me right away.

Mom, Ji-sung's not a child anymore. She'll take care of it.

Are you saying you don't care whether she moves into her in-laws or not?

Mom, what does my opinion matter?

Ji-sung and her husband will make the decision.

Mom, you should stop now.

Stop what?

If she moves into her in-law's house,

she'll suffer even more than right now.

How can I not say anything?

Mom, I'm tired.

I want to rest now.

All right, then.

[Mr. So]

Hello, Mr. So?

Let me see you.

I'm in front of your house.

I have something to say to you.

Oh, really?

What's it about?

It's not about work.

It's something very personal.

All right. I'll be right down.

In-sung, have some of this. It's ginseng water.

Mom, I have to go out for a while.

Why? What's the matter?

You said you were tired. Where are you going?
