[Episode 39]

What's going on?

Why is your face so dark?

Why are we suddenly having dinner with them?

That mother-in-law of hers suddenly wants Ji-sung...

to move in with them, so things got crazy.

If Ji-sung moves in with her in-laws,

wouldn't it be better for her?

She doesn't need to do the house chores,

and Mi-na would also be taken care of.

I knew you'd say that.

How can you say that after seeing your mother give me a hard time for years?

You weren't so easy to live with, either.

You were always complaining about my family.

No need to talk about the past.

I can't watch Ji-sung move in with her in-laws,

so don't say anything stupid and just follow my lead.

What does Ji-sung want?

Of course she doesn't want to do it.

We have to make sure we oppose this idea.

What's our opinion on this matter again?

We're dead against the idea.

Mother!

Why are you so surprised to see me?

We're meeting in a little bit,

so I was a bit surprised to see you here...

I thought I should have a talk with you beforehand.

Please sit while I get you something to drink.

No, it's okay.

You do know why we're getting together tonight, right?

Yes, it's because of us moving into your house...

That's right.

Well, about that...

If you don't like the idea, you don't have to move in.

Huh?

Really?

Of course. You really thought I asked you to move in...

to give you a hard time?

I know how difficult it must be for you...

to write that hard thesis of yours.

The reason I asked you to move in was actually to help you.

Think about your mother.

It must be so hard taking care of you.

Right.

When you said you'd move in with us,

I actually felt very sorry for you.

I knew that the reason was...

that you wanted your mother...

to stop doing work for you.

It's not like you really wanted to move in.

Mother...

Thank you... for understanding how I feel.

Sure, sure.

It's natural for a daughter...

to feel that way about her mother.

But don't you think that it's about time...

you became independent on your own?

Oh, you can only make time over the weekend?

My dad said he's all right with any time.

Of course, he's happy.

All right, Mi-yeon. Call me before you come.

Bye.

Oh, Mr. So!

Are you introducing Mi-yeon to your father already?

Do I hear wedding bells?

Give me a break. What wedding bells?

It's not like that.

Look at him turning red.

I said it's not like that.

Mi-yeon had something to ask of my dad.

Be honest. I know you like her.

Let me have a word with you.

What did you want to see me about?

Seeing that you're calling me out here,

I don't think this concerns our work.

I think I was wrong about you.

What do you mean?

You came to my house saying you liked me.

Then you ripped up my picture...

and already changed your mind about me.

You must've been upset about the picture.

Well, you seem to be just fine...

after ripping my heart into tiny little pieces.

So in just a span of a few days,

your heart already went to somebody else?

What do you mean?

You're getting married to Mi-yeon this year?

You're introducing her to your father?

Huh?

What's so funny?

Are you being jealous right now?

Jealous?

Wow, I never thought you were the type to be jealous.

I'm not jealous!

Then what is it?

Whether I like Mi-yeon or not,

what's it to you?

Well, that's...

Since you are so inconsistent with your heart,

I'm just giving you a piece of advice as your boss.

Why would a boss care about her subordinate's love life?

Anyway, you watch it.

Watch what?

I can't believe this!

He's so fickle!

Is she really jealous right now?

I'm sorry that we had to meet today...

with the heavy issue of moving in.

What do you mean heavy issue?

Just think of it as a way for us...

to help your daughter and my son to be happier.

Why, of course.

What you're saying is right.

This isn't about moving in or not.

What's most important is that...

the two of them are happy, even if they move in.

You couldn't be more right about that.

Since they're both adults now,

they should be living on their own independently...

However, living together isn't all that bad.

Well, it's not such a simple matter.

Ma'am, please yield on this matter.

Goodness.

You make it sound like I'm the one who's forcing them to move in.

Why don't we hear from Woo-jae and Ji-sung...

about what they really want to do?

Sure. It would be best...

to let them do what they want to do.

Woo-jae, tell us what you think.

Okay.

To be honest,

I really don't care whether we move in or not.

Since I leave early and come back home late at night.

Ji-sung's opinion is what matters most.

All right. Ji-sung?

Tell us what you think.

Well, I'm not just happy about moving in, of course.

Right.

But the reason I agreed to move in was because...

I felt so bad that Mom had to do all of my chores...

while I was focusing on my lectures and research.

I thought if we decided to move in...

I could ease Mom of all the chores...

Ji-sung.

You don't need to elaborate.

As Mother said, if we move in,

Mom won't have to do my house chores...

Wait.

Ji-sung has the same opinion as I do.

Let her finish what she was saying.

Why are you cutting her off?

How can she be true to her feelings...

in front of her in-laws?

Ji-sung already told me what she really wanted yesterday.

She doesn't want to move in.

I spoke to Ji-sung just before coming here,

and she said she'd move in with us.

She said house chores are hard for her,

and she feels bad to you, too.

Isn't that right, Ji-sung?

What else is she supposed to say...

when you ask her like that?

Fine.

Let me ask you why you're so against this idea.

Well, why do you want them to move in so badly?

Well...

To give you reasons, there would be dozens of them.

First, at least Woo-jae won't be eating instant noodles for dinner.

Instant noodles?

Woo-jae, why are you eating instant noodles?

Well, I do understand that Ji-sung is busy.

But seeing my married son...

making instant noodles every night, upsets me.

That's not all.

He wears the same dress shirt for days.

And Mi-na is so dirty...

that I'm afraid she might have lice or something.

Just who is she writing that thesis for?

If she wanted to study so badly, why did you make her get married...

and make the rest of her family suffer so much?

I'm sorry that Ji-sung is so busy...

I'm very sorry.

Why is that Ji-sung's fault?

That's why they have that contract.

Contract?

Good that you brought that up.

My son is preparing to inherit JW Group.

He's so busy with work as it is.

Should he also be doing dishes at home...

on every Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays?

I'm not asking them to move in to make her do house chores.

I'm just trying to help out so that my son doesn't have to do chores.

If they move in, we have a maid to help us.

And Ji-sung can raise Mi-na much more easily.

She can do her studies all she wants.

I'm sorry to cut you off.

But who cares if her body is more comfortable?

Her soul and mind have to be comfortable.

Even though you don't live together now,

she collapsed from the stress you gave her.

How can I send my daughter into your house?

You keep on saying you're doing this for her,

but the actions you've shown us so far...

seem quite the opposite.

Will you stop it?

I'm agreeing to her moving in with you.

I'm sorry I couldn't teach her properly.

What do you mean we didn't teach her properly?

All she ever did was study, so she lacks in many ways.

Please be understanding and teach her well.

She can move into your house.

No.

I cannot agree to that.

I'll take her back to my house...

until this issue is settled.

Let's take them to each house...

and rethink this matter.

Let's go, Ji-sung.

Mom.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get up.

Get up, too.

What's the matter with you?

Mother...

Ma'am, please calm down and sit down.

Since we can't seem to reach any conclusion...

Fine. Take your daughter.

Okay, please excuse us.

I'm sorry.

I'll go and persuade them.

Good night.

Goodbye.

Will you call Dr. Ma for me?

Why are you looking for me again?

I have gum stuck to my room.

What? Gum?

You're looking for me over that?

I'm really busy, you know.

So is this how you treat your patients?

What kind of gum is stuck there?

Let's go. Let's go and find out.

There's the gum.

Are you his father?

Mr. Ahn Jin-bong?

Good job, boy.

What is this? You used Ha-young to call me out?

I came here dozens of times,

but I'm never able to see you, that's why...

You must have a lot of time on your hands.

I'm very busy,

but I'm here every single day to see you.

You're off duty tomorrow. Let's have lunch together.

I'll have to ask my mom about that.

Your mom must be very strict.

You're always talking about her.

You'll faint if you meet her.

Is she that scary?

I don't think we should meet.

Oh, you have time right now?

Of course! I do!

Well, Ha-young is bored, so can you play with him?

Since both of you are bored...

Hee-sung!

Dr. Ma...

I don't think he's a good person.

Why?

You told him to play with me.

But he ran away.

I'm busy right now, so go back to your room.

I'll go and play with you later.

You said that yesterday but never came.

Ha-young! Ha-young! Are you okay?

Doctor, help!

Ha-young!

Turn his body around very slowly.

Ha-young.

Put out a code blue alert.

[Code Blue: In need of immediate medical attention]

Ha-young.

This is really weird.

She seemed like she wouldn't care, so why was she so mad?

Is she really jealous?

Go on in.

Did you get to see the rooms?

Yes, I showed her several.

I don't know what she thinks of them.

I liked the second one the best.

You have a very good eye.

That room is not only cheap,

but it's very new.

Let me go home and think a little more about it,

and then I'll sign the contract.

Good. You do that.

The owner is away and will return over the weekend.

So come back then.

Good.

Well, have a safe trip back, Mi-yeon.

Thank you.

See you tomorrow, Mr. So.

Why don't you take her to the bus station?

Go on.

Should I?

I'm okay.

Come on. Go walk her out.

Let's go, Mi-yeon.

Goodbye, Sir.

All right. See you again.

She seems healthy,

and she's so sweet and cute.

Approved!

I'm glad you found a room you liked.

Your father was so kind to me while showing me the rooms.

I'll let him know.

There's my bus.

Thank you so much for today, Mr. So.

Sure.

Oh, hi, Ms. Ma.

Wait. Wait a minute.

What?

Why are you so upset with me?

Because I ripped your picture?

Wait.

You have to tell me why you're upset.

That way,

I'll change and explain whatever you're upset about.

You jerk!

Ouch!

A professional boxer shouldn't be hitting people like this.

All right, you can hit me all you want.

But let me at least know why.

Are you really jealous of Mi-yeon?

What?

Think long and hard about why you're so angry.

Why are you so dumb when it comes to emotions?

What do you mean you're going to keep Ji-sung here...

here until they settle this issue?

It means exactly what it is. I'm opposed to them moving in.

I can understand you opposing that, but what you're doing is nonsense!

You can't force our daughter...

to separate from her husband over this.

This is the only way for them to rethink this whole matter.

It looks like she's going to force Ji-sung...

to move in if I don't do something drastic.

Ji-sung, why were you so hesitant?

You should've said, "I can't move in."

Before we met today, Mother came by.

She said the only reason she wanted me to move in...

was because she didn't want you to do all my chores.

She said she wanted nothing more.

That's just her tactics. That witch's tactics.

You can't be fooled by her words.

You promised that you'd stand your ground.

But Mother was saying things as if she really understood how I felt.

Whatever. I stopped you from moving in,

so you just rest here for a few days.

But I didn't bring anything.

Sleep here today and go bring whatever you need tomorrow.

In the olden days,

daughters weren't supposed to go back to their parents' houses.

Ji-sung, call your mother-in-law, and tell her that you're sorry.

My goodness! What's the matter with you?

Not supposed to go back to their parents' houses?

What kind of ancient times do you live in?

Then what are parents with only daughters supposed to do?

Once they get married, never see them again?

Whenever you get involved,

things always get out of hand.

If you can't solve the problem, just stay quiet.

Why would you say stuff that's absolutely of no help at all?

How could you say you want her to move in like that?

Then what was I supposed to do?

We didn't teach Ji-sung properly.

We'll just have to admit we were wrong.

We didn't teach her properly? You know how educated she is?

She's a doctor and a professor, did you forget?

Not that many people are as educated as her in our country.

She may have degrees, but she can't do any house work.

My gosh, who cares about that?

It keeps on creating problems for her!

When I heard that Woo-jae makes instant noodles for himself,

you know how embarrassed I was?

Even if Ji-sung is good with house chores,

she would've found some other faults with Ji-sung.

That's just how all mothers-in-law are!

She's never happy with my poor Ji-sung.

Will you stop it?

What if things get really bad,

and they end up asking her for a divorce?

Ji-sung, hurry up and call your mother-in-law.

Tell her you're really sorry.

That you were dragged out by your mother...

Don't worry. Don't you know divorce is forbidden in her family?

You don't think I thought of that in advance?

Ji-sung, wash up and get some rest.

All right.

What are you doing there?

You can go now. You're done here.

I called you over thinking you could be of some help to our daughter,

but I was a fool.

Hurry up and send Ji-sung to her house.

Don't let them think badly of her.

I don't want them to say that since her parents got divorced,

we think lightly of divorce.

Don't worry. They don't know we got divorced.

So don't worry about a thing and just go!

Leave!

Gosh, you're of no help at all.

Gosh!

I can't believe this.

So she took Ji-sung to her house.

What's going to happen now?

I guess they'll be separating.

I can't even live with my wife anymore?

What's the difference?

You always come here to eat and sleep, anyway.

Well, that's different.

Even if I go home, I won't find Ji-sung there.

Why did you fall in love with her and be so stubborn about marrying her?

There were plenty of better girls for you.

But she's pretty.

There were plenty of pretty girls, too.

Why would you marry someone from a family like hers...

and make all of us suffer like this?

You're the one who told him to marry her.

You wanted him to marry somebody from a poor family,

so that you could do whatever you want.

That's why I'm even angrier about this whole situation.

I should've just had him marry a girl from a rich family.

Just forget about having them move in,

and tell her to send Ji-sung back.

Look what kind of mess this got us into.

I can't do that.

I'm not going to forgive them unless...

they beg on their knees.

What if her mother says no until the end?

Well, you'll just have to end it with her, then.

What do you mean?

Are you saying he should get divorced?

Come on, nobody from our family can get divorced.

Why not?

Big deal if we do.

Look here.

Don't say things like that.

Mom.

Do not call Ji-sung until she calls you first.

Understand?

If you meet her behind my back, you'll be in trouble.

Oh, Mi-na.

Mi-na, come here.

Grandma, when am I going back home?

Mi-na, I told you that we're living here together.

Yeah, but with Mommy.

Dad, I want to go home. Please?

Huh? All right.

Let's sleep here and leave tomorrow.

You should have something to munch on, too.

I'm just angry.

And really upset.

About what?

About you.

I think I'm just going to go for today.

Wait.

Are we going to be here all night?

Don't you know why you're so mad?

I'm mad that you're so inconsistent.

I'm inconsistent? Me?

You told me you liked me just a few days ago.

But you didn't want to accept my heart.

Right...

So you changed your mind?

Who said I did?

Then you feel the same way?

Yeah.

My feelings for you are the same.

Whatever, you liar.

You even ripped my picture.

So basically,

you're just worried that my feelings for you...

have disappeared?

When did I say I was worried?

My gosh.

Can't you be honest with yourself?

Fine.

I ripped your picture. I did.

I thought that maybe my feelings for you would go away.

But nothing changed.

So I taped it back like this.

I'll be waiting for you,

so don't worry about me changing my mind.

Mr. So...

But don't forget that this time...

my heart won't be so welcoming.

Why not?

Why do you think?

Did you forget how you hurt me?

I have my pride, you know.

Unless you give up everything that you have and come to me,

I'm not going to accept you.

I think you understand what I'm trying to say here.

Let's go home now.

Get home safe.

Good night.

Mr. So!

Why are you here?

How do I do that?

Do what?

How do I like somebody so much...

that I give up everything I have?

How do I do that?

You have to figure that out yourself.

You know...

When you were so cold to me...

I felt very sad...

I felt lonely.

I want to say this before it's too late.

Say what?

That I think...

I'm starting to...

fall for you.

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Preview]

Huh? Mi-na didn't come today?

Mom, they called and said Mi-na is not coming today.

Mom, what do I do about Mi-na?

I changed the security code.

I will never make you lonely again.

Good job.

Kiss 100 times.

You promised me that you wouldn't call Mom.

It just got cut off.

You should've brought Mi-na first.

You think I didn't want to do that myself?

So Jung-geun, I said I like you!
