[Episode 107]

Are you meeting Jung-geun for dinner?

I'm thankful for his invitation, but I'm not in the mood.

It's so painful to have my kids break my heart.

Yeah, I know.

That's the worst kind of pain.

By the way,

how did your family celebrate birthdays?

Come on.

Everyone was too busy for birthdays.

They were always taking tests or working late.

They were often abroad on business, too.

I never really celebrated my birthday either.

Huh?

I told you.

My wife threw a party for my 60th birthday

and she gave me divorce papers as my gift.

And this is how I'm been living ever since that day.

Well, everything is my fault.

Since I was a pathetic father,

nobody gives me any respect.

Dad, it's me.

Hello, In-sung.

Huh?

Where?

Please persuade Mom for us.

We didn't want to send Hee-sung away like this,

so we decided to get together.

Well, I don't know if your mother will come.

Don't wait for us.

I'll be out.

She doesn't remember her father-in-law's birthday

but she's inviting her parents out for dinner?

No! You can't drink so much water.

I'm sorry.

Do you have my test results?

Your test shows that you're...

...at the last stage of renal failure.

But how...

But I didn't feel anything.

I just felt a bit tired and had a few headaches...

How can I suddenly be diagnosed like this?

Fatigue, headaches, and insomnia are all symptoms.

Well, then...

Will I get better after getting blood dialysis?

Once your kidney fails, it doesn't get better.

Your kidneys are barely functioning right now.

Because you have low blood pressure,

we can't do blood dialysis

and we can't do peritoneal dialysis

because you had a C-section.

But I did get blood dialysis yesterday.

What was that, then?

Your condition was so bad that

we had to do an emergency blood dialysis

but your blood pressure dropped

and you went into shock.

Your only choice is to get

a kidney transplant as soon as possible.

But...

What in the world...

Doctor, that's the only way?

The calcium level in your blood yesterday was 7.

That's fatal enough to stop your heartbeat.

You didn't come with a guardian?

You should have your family tested to find a match.

Why don't you call your children first?

No...

I don't have any children.

What is it?

Where are you right now?

Why do you ask?

Listen, honey...

Why are you calling me?

I don't have any energy.

You know, I might...

I know.

We were betrayed by our own children.

I'm really upset about this whole thing, too.

I might die...

What? Why would you die?

Over this?

I know you value our kids over your own life,

but you won't die!

When did I say I would die over our kids?

Am I crazy?

Why would I die over them?

Hey, listen...

In-sung called me earlier...

What for?

Did she say she was sorry?

Did you tell her it's too late?

That I'm never going to forgive her.

No, it's not that.

They're having dinner together tonight.

Dinner, whatever.

What dinner after breaking my heart into pieces?

No, no.

They're throwing a dinner party

for Hee-sung to take pictures and stuff.

Since she's going away to America

without a proper wedding.

How can they be so insensitive?

It's fine. Let's just not go.

They must think we'll forgive them if they invite us.

Hello? Are you listening?

Where are they having the party?

Congratulations, Hee-sung!

Thanks!

Congratulations.

Thank you.

It's nothing expensive.

Sis...

Come on. Just exchange your rings.

Come on.

Thank you.

I'll take your pictures.

Pictures last forever.

Show me your rings.

This way. Good.

One, two.

Good.

Why are you still here?

Just think of me as a bystander.

Don't mind me.

He's the one who found this place for us.

Mi-na, Ha-young. Come here.

Bride and groom, stand in the middle.

Right there. Perfect.

Come here. Gather around.

Where are the kids?

I can't find them anywhere.

One, two, three.

Oh, they're there?

Say cheese!

Why didn't you call out to me?

Okay, one more. One, two, three!

Gosh, they could've waited a little longer for us.

I should just...!

Where are you going?

You should come with me and flip this place upside-down.

My goodness...

Oh, it's Dad!

Dad!

Did you call Dad?

Yeah, earlier today.

What about Mom?

I told Dad to come with Mom,

but I don't see her.

Dad, you came...

Dad!

Dad, where's Mom?

She came but just left.

How can you girls do this to us?

You registered your marriage yesterday

and nearly made your mother faint,

and today, you're having a wedding?

It's not a wedding.

Hee-sung will leave the country next week.

Since they're legally married,

we should celebrate it by taking pictures.

What's the point of taking pictures?

You don't even have your parents' blessing!

And after all that commotion yesterday,

you should've stayed quiet.

How could you hold a wedding like this?

If you were going to just get mad,

why did you come?

You said you wanted to cut ties with me.

Ma Hee-sung!

Thank you for coming, sir.

What?

Thank me for what?

You ought to be on your knees begging me for forgiveness.

How could you be thanking me?

Father, please calm down.

Why, you jerk!

You've just made us cut ties with our daughter!

How dare you show up in our lives

and break our family apart?

You bastard!

Goodness...

Fine.

I know I wasn't much of a father to you girls,

but you shouldn't be doing this!

You foolish girls!

How could you treat your mother this way

after everything she's done for you?

She cut open her stomach several times to have you

and raised you all these years.

But what are you doing?

This is why people say having children is of no use.

Fine.

Let's just cut our ties once and for all.

This will be the end of us.

Father.

I'm just as disappointed with you, Jung-geun!

You're just as bad!

Why did you call Dad in the first place?

After everything we had to deal with last night,

why did you invite them and make things even worse?

I thought they might be less angry if I invited them.

I thought she might change her mind

after seeing your small wedding.

You still don't know Mom?

For her to feel better,

we'll all have to beg on our knees

and change everything back to the way she wants it.

She won't change her mind just because she's invited.

Gosh...

I don't know why even Dad is acting this way.

I'm just going to make some kimchi pancakes.

Marines are the ghost catchers.

We're The Marines.

Our young blood boils.

Who will get in our way?

Our young blood boils.

Who will get in our way?

The rice wine tastes so bitter.

I'm pushing 60 now. What a lousy birthday.

You look so pale.

What?

I'll leave now. Don't worry.

No.

You should move back in here.

Huh?

All our kids are gone now, so we have empty rooms.

You can just stay in any room.

Honey...

It was hard for you to live with me too, right?

Why would you say that?

Well, I'm not going to lie

and say living with you was easy.

I see. It must've been...

Don't be too upset.

Hee-sung just won't listen.

So there's nothing we can do.

I'm going to go in and rest now.

I'm very tired...

Yes.

Don't worry about anything and just get some sleep.

Children are just children.

They'll come around one day.

Oh, hello? Mr. So?

Hi, ma'am.

Did you have a good family dinner together?

Of course, it was wonderful.

All my daughters and sons-in-law got together

and we took pictures

and had a wonderful dinner.

We had a great time.

I see.

You must be very happy.

Yes, of course.

I was so happy.

My daughters are the best.

Today, I felt like I raised them very well.

They listen to everything I say.

I'm so lucky.

I'll die a happy woman.

What regrets could I possibly have?

Now that my daughters are so successful and doing well,

I have no worries.

Goodbye.

I am so happy...

that my daughters are successful!

I am happy...

I am happy...

Stop it!

Kids will always be kids.

Why would you cry over them?

Do it.

Do what?

You're supposed to carry your bride into the room.

Carry you inside?

Come on!

Oh, all right.

Wow!

My sisters decorated the room.

I'm sorry you didn't get a nice dress or a veil.

What do you call this, then?

I love my flower crown.

I think it looks great on me.

When we come back to Korea later,

let's hold a proper wedding then.

Yes, let's do that.

Sir, let's have many babies.

You want that?

Of course! You have no family.

Ha-young wanted a sister,

so how about three daughters?

Three daughters?

Too few, huh?

How about five, then?

Hey, Ma Hee-sung!

In-sung, you must be sad.

No, Jung-geun.

You're sad that Mother didn't show up, right?

I'm sure it's worse for Hee-sung.

She always said

she was going to meet the perfect guy

and have the most lavish wedding ever.

But she ended up having a small one

without our parents' blessing.

Well, at least she had a wedding

thanks to her sisters.

I thought it was a lovely wedding.

Well, at least she now has

a wedding anniversary date.

October 15th...

October 15th...

Today is October 15th, right?

Yes. Why?

That's funny.

I thought there was something today.

What was today?

Oh, I'm sure today is not a special day.

Ahh!

What?

Jung-geun, what do we do?

What do we do? Today's Father's birthday!

What?

What time is it?

It's before midnight, right?

Let's celebrate his birthday before midnight.

Yeah.

Turn back the car.

To where?

We have to get a cake first!

Right.

She hung up on me after bragging about her daughters.

Oh, it tastes so bitter today.

She didn't teach her daughter properly.

Why didn't she teach her to remember

her father-in-law's birthday?

Dad.

Why aren't you in bed yet?

What's with that gift?

I got this for Mr. Ma.

Why isn't he home yet?

I don't know.

You never gave me any gift,

but you care so much about Mr. Ma?

I'm thankful that he helped me with my self-introduction.

Why isn't he home yet?

Gosh, what's wrong with my kids?

How did they all turn out that way?

[Ma Ji-sung]

I was never once happy

living the way you told me to.

All I felt was apologetic!

Before it's too late,

I want to live the way I want to.

Mom, please set me free!

All right, Ji-sung.

You can live the way you want now.

You don't owe me anything.

Please don't feel that way.

I never asked you girls for anything in return.

Forget all about me

and live freely from now on.

[Ma In-sung]

Whether we have to live underground or in the sewer,

I don't care as long as I'm with Jung-geun!

I'll take on any obstacles in life as they come!

All you have to do is wish us happiness.

Is that so hard for you?

In-sung...

I want you to be happy with Jung-geun.

I was only harsh to you because

I wanted you to be happy.

Well, as long as you're happy...

That's all that matters.

I just want you to be happy.

[Ma Hee-sung]

Do you know the only times you smiled at me?

When I was first in class and when I graduated with honors.

Only when I made you shine as my mother.

My heart always ached because

I felt I wasn't much of a mother to you.

I wasn't only happy when you were first in class...

You're all my precious daughters.

Mom...

Mom...

My daughters...

I've lived a happy enough life with you girls.

[Ma Ji-sung]

[Preview]

Mom was here?

Was Mom here?

Mom!

She's just trying to show us.

This is her way of cutting ties with me completely.

I guess she just can't accept my marriage.

Let's get married.

How would we do that?

I'm going to tell Dad!

If you're not going to sign it, don't.

Don't you dare tell Dad on me!

Tell on you about what?

Why weren't you picking up your phone?

Where are you right now?

I'm sorry. Be well.
