Original subtitles

They say that children

were all creditors in their past lives.

A mother with a large brood never has a peaceful day,

and life is better without children to care for.

Old sayings can't be more right.

I wonder how our ancestors came up with such wise notions.

Cut!

-Nicely done! -You're bleeding.

Jun-seon, are you all right?

Of course.

Some ointment and a good day's rest will clear this up instantly.

Please have me again sometime. I can even do more dangerous stunts.

Sure thing. By the way, stay for dinner today.

I'll pass today. I'm already late, you see.

Late for what?

Finalizing my divorce.

COURT

My eldest son, who's a stunt man or whatever,

signed himself up as a guarantor for a friend three years ago.

He lost his house and ended up getting divorced.

-Mom! -Yes?

He crawled back into my house with nothing but the clothes on his back.

Did you land in Paris? The flight must've been delayed.

There was weather trouble before boarding.

They're making you stand by for too long these days.

You should ask for a raise.

You know how it is. So, where are you?

I came to see a friend with Ji-hun.

I was getting bored at home.

That same year, my eldest daughter, who was always proud of her pretty face,

caught her husband cheating on her and signed the divorce papers right away.

Mom!

Without any shame at all, she marched back home with her young son,

sending me into a state of shock.

Do they even have a clue how upset I am?

Did they have to get divorced back-to-back?

It's like getting hit where it already hurts. Those brats.

Still, as the saying goes, "Born in a ditch but rise up a dragon,"

I have hope.

Unlike her older siblings, my second daughter is so smart.

Her job isn't anything to brag about. Just a doctor.

And…

"My diligent youngest daughter does her best at everything,

though she may not be the smartest."

"She's getting married in a few days."

Goodness, congratulations.

One of your daughters is a doctor, and another's getting married soon.

You were at least half successful with your kids.

That was just a joke.

The anonymous listener from Jungang-dong…

Yeong-dal!

Ok-bun wrote this letter to the radio show.

I can't believe her.

Why would she, when there's nothing to be proud about?

At least she kept it anonymous.

And she'll receive a herbal cosmetics set

worth about 200,000 won.

-It's worth 200,000? -Yes.

-Mr. Song, good day. -Oh, hi.

One medium, please.

-One medium that seems like a large size. -Okay.

Your wife isn't here today. Is she elsewhere?

Yes, she went someplace nice.

What now?

What? Is she insane?

How can she be so shameless? You have got to be kidding me.

Again?

What?

Unbelievable.

Did Ms. Jang go on a trip somewhere?

No, she went out to do something even better.

To spend money.

Mom, let's look at this one.

Gosh, how sexy.

Can you even call this sleepwear? It barely covers anything.

They all seem pretty to me.

She's a newlywed. She should wear something sexy.

-Looking for sleepwear for a couple? -Yes.

-You must be preparing for your wedding. -Not me. I'm divorced. It's for my sister.

Gosh, this one's pretty.

-Can I see this in sizes 90 and 100? -Sure thing.

-Can you wait while I check our storage? -Sure.

Hey, being a divorcee is nothing to be proud of.

Well, it's the truth. I can't just lie about it.

Don't be like that.

It's nothing to be proud of, but it's not a sin either.

They say divorce is trending.

Don't try to sugarcoat it. Why would that be a trend?

I'm just saying that people's values have changed.

Going our separate ways is better than living in misery.

Why would I live with a man who loves another woman?

Stop that! It might be trendy for you, but people my age see it as a flaw.

So don't even think about causing a scene at Da-hee's wedding

and sit quietly.

My face stands out too much. What am I supposed to do?

Anyway, you worked hard too to get what you wanted.

Da-hee's fiancé.

After he passed the civil servant exam,

you made side dishes for him and even kimchi for his family.

It's finally time for you to collect.

How much do civil servants earn these days?

Ga-hee, stop it. I didn't do any of that hoping for something in return.

Is that so? That's not what I thought at all.

Why isn't Da-hee even calling us though?

She's making us prepare everything.

She's not acting like a bride-to-be at all.

Yes, I'm listening.

A low-sodium in-flight meal?

You can choose that option on the right-hand corner of the website--

Do I get a meal or not?

Yes, ma'am. It's all part of the package deal.

Of course, I'll confirm that option for you.

-Then have a good day-- -Whatever. How annoying.

Goodness. Ms. Song, you must be exhausted.

But then it's understandable since you have a wedding coming up soon.

What do you say? Do you want the afternoon off to rest?

No, it's all right, sir.

As if. You seem extremely tired.

I should've known better than to promote a package deal

a few days before your wedding.

I truly apologize for that. I'm sorry.

Don't be, sir. I'm the one who's sorry.

Oh please.

Who cares about the company's most important time of the year

when our intern is getting married?

I won't be able to make it to your wedding though

since I'll be neck-deep in work.

I'm truly sorry, sir!

I'll work twice as hard once I get back.

-Yes? -What are you going to do about the dress?

The wedding venue called me.

Oh, I forgot. I need to ask Na-hee about it.

Okay, I'll call her right now.

We're meeting the professor who will be officiating, so make time tomorrow.

Tomorrow? But I still have a lot of work left.

Can't I greet him after the wedding?

That professor graduated from the same university

as the vice-minister.

I need to get on his good side.

Please get a grip on what's important, okay?

All right, I'll make time.

I told you we should push back the wedding a bit.

I'm getting a call. Bye.

He always hangs up first.

Please pick up, Na-hee. I really don't have time.

You changed the meds for my patient on the ventilator?

Yes.

Is it something to get this worked up over?

-You look so angry. -Who do you think you are?

-What gives you the right-- -Of course I had my reasons.

What I prescribed is effective and safe.

It has been for ten years, so what's the big deal?

But it's pricier.

-The father works at-- -I know.

He works at a construction site in Paju.

If the bill is too steep, he should ask the administration for help.

You know very well that swapping medicines could negate our treatment.

Isn't it your job to let him know and persuade him?

You're a doctor, not a cook who prepares orders at a fast-food joint.

What?

Are you kidding me?

Is this payback?

Because the patient's parents requested a different doctor?

Payback?

Gosh, how childish.

What's up? What's this about?

Dr. Song changed my patient's medication to a more expensive one without asking.

I only swapped it back to the original one because it's safer.

The doctor in charge makes the call on medication.

A hospital is an organization, and it has rules.

Also, what you say isn't right all the time.

What she prescribed is fine.

It works just as well and it's recommended by the government.

Good work.

Eat up, guys.

-Enjoy. -Thank you.

May I sit here, Dr. Yoon Gyu-jin?

It seems you already sat down, Dr. Song Na-hee.

Eat up.

Take a look at the chart for that young patient.

BP, heart rate, and body temperature are stable.

WBC and CRP are finally in the normal range.

The numbers on the ventilator are also decreasing,

so it's wiser to keep the patient in the current state.

This kid is already being injected with massive amounts of antibiotics.

What will you do if this leads to the growth of a super bacteria?

Why are you doing this? We're trying to eat here.

You're making us all uncomfortable.

Guys, am I making you uncomfortable?

-No. -Of course not.

Our junior doctors say that I'm not.

They're so uncomfortable that they're leaving.

Guys, are you leaving because of me?

-Of course not. -No way.

Dr. Yoon, I want an answer.

What? Why? Even dogs are allowed to eat in peace.

Am I less than a dog to you?

Guys, just eat. Unbelievable.

The conference venue has been moved

to the seminar room instead of the auditorium.

Is it really necessary? We're going to nod off anyway.

Anyway, what was up with Dr. Song today?

I almost got an upset stomach earlier.

Talk about being persistent.

You know how weird she is.

She doesn't even know she's an outcast.

People who are only book smart are usually tactless.

Dr. Kang told me that she was like that in school too.

So to wrap up, let's go over what charge density is.

It's the amount of electric charge per unit length, surface area, or volume.

How about it? Are you clear on what charge density is?

Okay, I'll see you next time.

Sir!

If the limit value of V is zero and the potential of a sphere conductor

with a 0.15m radius is 1,300V, what's the conversion of the sphere?

For a splenectomized ITP patient,

what kind of vaccine do you need to administer before discharge?

-You. -Pardon?

One moment, please.

Meningococcus, Streptococcus, and Haemophilus influenza.

And I think you forgot this.

What?

We're supposed to hand in reports on postoperative infections today.

Oh, right. Na-hee, you collect the reports.

Okay.

I knew it. As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.

She's unbelievable.

But we owe her in a way.

We got the FilmArray because Dr. Song kept pestering the hospital director.

I have to admit that she's a professional.

And about her prescription earlier,

who else would push ahead with it other than her?

I guess you're right about that.

But she's too straightforward.

I just can't get used to her condescending attitude.

With her big eyes,

she stares at me like this.

Gosh, I can't even imitate it. My eyes hurt.

Whom are you talking about?

Who's that condescending person?

Ji-yeon?

I got a call.

-Please excuse me. -I need to go to the bathroom.

Hey, wait for me.

What's wrong with them?

Gosh, Ji-yeon.

Why isn't anyone coming?

They say they're doctors, but they have no sense of punctuality.

NEW MESSAGE DA-HEE

Can I borrow the dress you wore at the after-party?

It's too long for you. Buy a new one.

She's so cruel. Is she really my sister?

IT'S TOO LONG FOR YOU. BUY A NEW ONE

What are you doing?

I dropped my pen.

Goodness.

-Take this. -Gosh.

Why are you back already?

Why not just live in the department store?

Well, I don't have the guts to do that.

I saw so many pretty things there.

There were pretty dresses and pretty plates.

I want to replace the 20-year-old broken-down fridge in our house.

That's enough.

Don't make a habit of going places like that. The market is fine.

I won't go there again anyway.

My hands trembled as I used your credit card.

I was afraid of all the nagging I'd get.

By the way, where's Ok-ja?

I don't know. She was here a moment ago.

-Ok-bun! -Gosh.

Did you hear? The fruit shop and the rice cake shop owners

had a fight just now.

The fruit shop owner didn't pay for some rice cakes.

The rice cake shop owner got really mad.

She's feistier than I thought.

There you go again, getting excited over a fight.

Here. Have some dumplings.

Wow, did you buy them at the department store?

No. If I eat flour-based food, my face will get puffy.

It's okay. It's still your face even if it's puffy.

No, I can't.

I'll make sure my face isn't puffy and get a face-lift tomorrow.

I want to look totally young at Da-hee's wedding.

But since you bought them for me, I will eat just one.

-Did you buy a lot of stuff? -Yes.

Ga-hee took the stuff for Da-hee. And these are for us.

Oh, right. Take a look at this, honey.

This is your tie.

You can wear it with a suit at the wedding. It'll look great!

Well, the color isn't too bad.

No, get a refund. This is too expensive.

Just wear it. You can wear a pricey tie at your daughter's wedding.

My goodness.

The price of this tie comes close to 50 fried chickens.

Chicken supplies are running low with low productivity.

Why waste money on stuff like that? Is that your hobby?

Gosh, please don't be like that and just wear the tie.

Just wear it for me.

What's wrong with you? It's creepy. Stop it.

Get a refund.

My gosh. Darn it.

And don't sit on that chair.

You sit there all the time. The cushion is getting flat.

Gosh, what's the big deal? How stingy can he get?

My goodness.

Give me my card back.

I need the card to get a refund.

You told me to return the tie.

All right then.

Gosh, I'm so sick of this. He's not just frugal.

He might even take his money with him when he dies.

Do I have to get by on pocket money at this age?

Can't I even buy things I want?

You know that's just how he is.

By the way, you were like,

"Honey, please don't be like that. Just wear the tie."

That was more shocking to me.

My gosh. Don't you get how desperate I was?

It's so hard to live as Song Yeong-dal's wife.

It's such an extreme job.

If I don't have a good husband, I could at least have good children.

You still have Na-hee, your last hope.

My goodness.

I ate them all.

I must be out of my mind.

What should I do?

Is my face getting puffy already? Look at my face.

My eyes look smaller, right? What should I do?

I know. I just hope Da-hee will be

just as happy as Na-hee is. That would be great.

Ms. Sim, Ms. Oh, good work. See you tomorrow.

-Bye. -See you.

You look great today.

Taxi.

That jerk.

Darn it.

It hurts so bad.

It hit my toe. It really hurts.

That punk.

Soccer. The soccer game!

Hey!

What?

Look at this.

I told you to keep this in a plastic bag.

It rolls around here and there, and I keep stepping on it.

It rolls around because it's round.

You're being unreasonable again.

It was stupid of me to talk to you.

What about you? Why do you keep picking a fight with me?

Why are you rebelling against me?

Hey, that word is used between children and their elders.

Like a student and a teacher or a child and a parent.

Are you my teacher? Or my mom?

Will you stop pouncing on my words?

You're just making me do so.

You're good at provoking people. You keep winding me up.

I've never heard such a thing.

Who would dare to say that to you?

Are you saying you did the right thing then?

Blatantly siding with Ji-yeon in a situation like that?

Keep your private and public life separate.

I wasn't siding with her. I just had the same opinion.

You used to have the same opinion as me. Because my prescription is always right.

My gosh. Do you think you're a god or something?

Forget it. Talking to you is just exhausting.

Rest up. That's it for today.

-Gosh. -I'm tired.

She keeps talking back to me.

Gosh, Song Na-hee!

I told you to store leftover food in plastic wrap.

Don't keep trotters in the fridge like this.

It'll get so stiff that you can't even eat it.

And now the whole fridge smells of it.

You can get rid of it then.

You're being so ridiculous.

You seem like a perfectionist at the hospital,

but why are you so clumsy when you're home?

What about you?

You pretend to be cool and smart at the hospital.

I wonder if people know how much you nag me when you get home.

It's not nagging. I just say what I need to say.

But if I say anything, you say I'm just nitpicking.

Hey, take a look at this.

What now?

All the colors are in one load again.

They look so pretty, right?

You're supposed to wash them separately. Can't you do that? Are you colorblind?

What are you doing?

Hey! What are you doing? What…

Colorblind people mostly can't see red. Are you sure you are a doctor, you fool?

LIVE IN FRUGALITY

-Mom. -Yes? What is it?

Grandma is making dinner. Why don't you go help her?

What?

Oh, shall I?

I should do that, shouldn't I?

My dear son.

How did I end up with a son like you?

You sweet thing.

Come over! Dinner is ready!

Everyone! Dinner is ready! Come on out!

Father! Jun-seon! Dinner!

It's a small group today.

Seo-jin isn't here and neither is Auntie.

Your aunt is getting some laser treatment tomorrow,

so she went jogging to lose some puffiness.

And Seo-jin is visiting some special kindergarten with her mom.

You should've gone with them. Seo-jin's mom is busy with work already.

I don't know anything. Education is her specialty.

What is your specialty then? Slacking off?

Slacking off?

I train or film every day. I work hard in my own way.

As if. My goodness.

Speaking of which, where are this month's expenses?

Darling. Talk about it later. Not in front of Ji-hun.

It's okay, Grandma. I'm busy eating and can't hear a thing.

Dad.

I read the invoice you sent.

I have a question about it.

You used to divide the electric bill evenly.

I don't get why I suddenly have to pay more.

Oh, yes, I'm glad you brought that up.

This month's electricity bill was much higher compared to

the same month last year.

I found that strange and did some checking.

You use a hot water pad in this nice spring weather.

I live in a cold rooftop room and have no choice.

I'm a tenant too. Let me have Da-hee's room when she gets married,

or put in a new heating system or wallpaper the walls.

If you can't do that, buy bubble wrap for the…

No, sir. I'll jog a bit before going to sleep.

I say this all the time,

but if you're displeased, move out.

I'll pay you right away, Dad.

Parents support their children until they're married.

What happens afterward is their responsibility.

We may be family, but let's pay the bills fairly.

Okay?

Okay.

Where are you going? Finish your food.

It's fine. I'm done.

He always leaves a few mouthfuls.

It's odd when he scrimps even on toilet paper.

Right? Isn't it odd?

Toilet paper and rice don't seem much, but if you think about it,

it's a great inconsistency of words and action.

He's not wasting food. He just can't finish it.

-Why? -Why? Why can't he eat?

Try smelling cooking oil all day long.

You'd lose your appetite.

Stop talking and call Na-hee. I couldn't in case she was busy.

You always tiptoe around Na-hee when you abuse the two of us.

That's true. Mom favored her over us.

She always gave Na-hee tasty food first.

Forget it, you two. I'll just call her myself.

Hey, Na-hee.

Hi, Mom.

I called to ask what you'll wear for the wedding.

How about you and Ga-hee wear hanbok?

No, it's uncomfortable. I'll wear a suit.

Hey. My gosh, this stinks.

Come on. It'll look nice if you two wear hanbok.

No. Why should I be uncomfortable just for other people?

Na-hee, I'm against it too. Let's wear pretty clothes!

Okay, Ga-hee.

Okay then. Do whatever you want.

It'll be so nice if you two wear it together.

No.

Stop right there.

What, Mom?

No. What?

What did you say, Mom?

What, Mom? I'm a bit busy right now.

See you at the wedding in two days. Bye.

Hey, Gyu-jin.

Open the door. Hey!

What is she doing though? Why was she so out of breath?

Out of breath? Is she exercising?

She hates to exercise. How out of breath was she?

I don't know.

"Mom. See you at the wedding."

"I'm a bit busy."

What?

Mom! You know what she's doing.

They're still at it like they're newlyweds.

I'm so jealous.

What are you saying? It's too early in the evening.

The time doesn't matter. Don't act like a novice.

-My gosh. -How cute.

What we meant was…

Be a man and teach him about the birds and the bees.

Why make me do such a tough thing?

-You do it. You're his mom. -Gosh.

It's fine. I know everything.

I read about it. Women in puberty.

Our Ji-hun is all grown up. He knows.

Oh. He knows.

Kids these days learn early on. Right, Mom?

They're quick.

Oh, my bone…

Seo-yeong, you're late. Get out of there.

Hurry up!

I'm still working on my bangs.

Give me just two minutes.

You'll be late for school. Let's go.

I almost got it.

Let's go to Grandma's.

Come along.

I'm wearing the wrong socks. Just a moment, Mom!

Song Seo-yeong! You'll be late!

Can't you get ready just five minutes earlier?

Must I drive at top speed so early in the morning?

-Then wake me five minutes earlier. -Would you even wake up?

Go straight to academy after school. Don't skip classes again.

Okay.

You know I get texts when you come and go?

You're in middle school now. You have to master the basics.

Sure.

I put some money in your wallet.

Don't you dare eat ramyeon and spend it on celebrity goods.

JUNGANG MIDDLE SCHOOL

-Get out. -You're so quick. See you.

Smiley, I'm off.

See you.

Let's go inside.

Seo-jin is coming down with a cold.

Give her this medicine after lunch.

Okay. Don't worry.

Why would you feel sick and make your grandma worry?

Let's see if you have a fever.

You're fine. You have no fever.

What are you waiting for? You'll be late.

I think I'll have to look for another kindergarten.

The special school is too expensive. Sorry, Mother.

It's fine. Seo-jin is family.

-By the way… -Yes?

By any chance, are you

seeing someone these days?

A man? No.

Mother. I'm in no position to date.

I barely have time to work.

Right? I knew it.

Some woman from the market said she saw you in a man's car.

It's probably my boss.

We sometimes monitor classes together.

That woman is such a gossip.

But, Mother, don't get your hopes up. He and I can't get back together.

Jun-seon has changed a lot now.

He said he'd kill himself if he stands surety again.

He wakes early these days

and works regularly.

He even takes better care of himself.

Mother, you know that I'm grateful to you and Father.

You always care about me and helped me find a new house.

That's because Jun-seon was partially responsible.

But if you keep making me feel sorry, I won't be able to visit anymore.

You're here.

Hello, Seo-jin.

Hi. Mother, I have to go.

Seo-jin, I'm leaving.

Make sure not to skip your meals.

What's wrong?

You idiot. Did you have to show up at that exact moment?

What?

Did you say something to Hyeon-gyeong again?

Can you not? She comes every day to drop off Seo-jin.

She'll stop if you keep pressuring her.

Are you worried about how Hyeon-gyeong feels?

Why don't you care about your own mom as much as you do about your ex-wife?

You idiot.

-Don't hit me. -Darn you.

Seo-jin, your grandma is hitting me. Call the police.

My goodness. You fool!

Ma'am, I can't believe you're offering me such a feast.

Thank you very much.

Did you blow on it in case it's hot?

Thank you, sweetie.

When will I get to hear you call me Dad?

I bet you're holding back to surprise me someday.

"Surprise!" Like that.

I'd love to hear your voice though, Seo-jin.

Could you let me hear it?

-Maybe on our way out. -Hi there.

-Hello. -Please prepare what I mentioned.

-Okay. -Hello.

We should close up and prepare for the wedding today.

You're not the one getting married. All we have to do is attend the event.

Fried chickens don't sell themselves.

-Gosh, you're here. -Hi, guys.

Are you opening up the store today when your daughter is getting married tomorrow?

Why would we take the day off?

Unbelievable.

Ok-bun, wait!

Is your future son-in-law a level-five civil servant or a lawyer?

-A level-five civil servant. -A level-five civil servant?

Gosh, how nice!

You weren't lucky with your kids, but you are with your sons-in-law.

It's nothing special though.

I'll treat you to dinner after the wedding.

It's her son-in-law who passed the exam, not her.

Plus, we never said it was anything special.

Look at her acting all high and mighty. You know how she thinks she's all that

because her husband's president of the Merchants Association.

Tell me about it.

It's as if he is the president of a large company.

She could barely meet our eyes when two of her children got divorced.

She's quite annoying.

Doesn't it seem like she's had some procedures done?

I think she smoothed out some wrinkles.

You're right. She did.

The facelift definitely worked.

I'll get my eyes done once I save up enough.

Ok-bun, look. Which hospital do you think does a better job?

Stop that. Why would you want double eyelids at that age?

I find your eyes adorable.

Don't say that so easily just because they're not yours.

If my eyes look that cute, why don't we exchange our eyes?

Shut it and eat up.

Honey, you should eat before getting to work.

Right.

My gosh.

It's odd that the leech hasn't come by yet.

He's normally here by now.

The Yang Chi-su who came by last year

Is here once again alive and well

Of course. I knew you'd come by.

Why are you being so prickly today?

Is it because your niece is getting married before you?

Have a seat.

Take a seat already. I was just about to call you.

Since both of you insist, I'll go ahead and enjoy a few bites.

Ok-bun, thank you for the food.

So, has the wedding been fully planned?

What's there to plan? It's just a wedding.

Nonsense! I hear your future in-law is someone of high status.

You're the president of our Merchants Association,

so prepare some fancy flowers and send some--

Look at all these flies flying around.

-Fine, I get it. -Unbelievable.

I'll shut up and just eat.

I'm shutting up. Zip.

This will be fun to watch.

Let's see if you can actually keep quiet.

-One… -Oh, right.

So, what time does the wedding ceremony begin?

It's a mild case of pneumonia.

We'll keep an eye on him after giving him a shot.

Mom, I don't like needles.

It's all right. It doesn't hurt at all.

Right, Doctor? It doesn't hurt.

Of course it'll hurt.

All needles do.

Mom…

But the pain will double if you squeeze your muscles,

so you have to relax

if you don't want it to hurt.

MOTHER-IN-LAW

Shall we get right to it?

MOTHER-IN-LAW

-The person you have called… -Why does she never answer?

She's not the only one who's busy.

-Hello, ma'am. -Hello.

Goodness, hello.

Good day.

-Hello. -Hi.

Ms. Choi, it's good to see you.

Goodness, sir. It has been a while. How has everything been?

Ms. Sim, do I have any more patients to see?

-Can I take a break? -Na-hee!

-Mother. -Why do you never answer your phone?

If you were working, you could've called me back.

That's just rude.

Doesn't your phone show missed calls?

What brings you here again?

Here.

I bought clothes for you while out shopping for myself.

Wear it to your sister's wedding.

You didn't have to buy this for me.

I actually have something similar.

Gosh.

It may look similar,

but it's a new product, so it must be different.

-The color and design all seem the same. -So?

You don't want to wear it?

It's not that I don't want to wear it. I have something similar already--

Forget it! Don't wear it if you don't want to.

I'm the fool for running around all day, looking for something nice for you.

What kind of a nutcase is she? What's wrong with her?

Whatever I get her or do for her,

she never takes it with a smile on her face.

I'm not asking for much.

So irritating to get a bitter response when I do something nice!

She won't let me stop comparing her to other daughters-in-law!

Why can't she be pleasant for just one second?

Why on earth did you get anything for her?

You know how she doesn't appreciate gifts.

It's not my fault, you know.

She's the issue here. Your wife is!

All right, Mom. Just calm down, okay?

I'll talk some sense into her.

As if! You can barely say anything to her.

Actually, you're the one with the bigger issue.

Was she the best you could find?

Why did it have to be Ok-bun's daughter?

I'm hanging up!

She's got to be kidding me!

I know. Your mother called, didn't she?

You know what my mother is like.

Why couldn't you accept her gift for once?

Because she's selfish and ignorant.

What kind of mother-in-law barges into her daughter-in-law's workplace like this?

Also, her hysteria has been turned up a notch.

She yelled at me in front of the nurses

and threw the clothes she bought in the trashcan.

Yes, I know that my mother can be irrational at times,

but you could meet her halfway.

You're killing me!

This will easily last a month, so can you please just apologize and let it go?

No, I'm sick and tired of cozying up to her.

But…

If this is how you'll be, I'm going to take action too.

I won't attend Da-hee's wedding in two days.

You must attend her wedding.

You're the only son-in-law my mom has,

and she absolutely adores you.

Yes, so for the happiness of both our mothers,

I'm offering a deal. Will you take it?

My gosh, Yun-jeong.

"Yun-jeong"?

I'd rather we be formal, Ms. Jang.

Yes, of course, Ms. Choi.

Were you out shopping today?

Isn't it obvious?

-Bye then. -Wait.

Will you be at the wedding, Yun-jeong?

Oh, I mean will you be at the wedding, Ms. Choi?

Of course.

How can I not attend my in-laws' family event?

I hope this one stays married.

It'd be tricky, given your daughters' personalities.

What was that? Why would she be all moody and provoke you again?

How should I know what's on her mind? She's always been like that.

Since high school, she's always been annoying.

She thinks being pretty gives her power.

So what if she won a beauty pageant?

She looks down on us with those eyes.

-That witch. -That witch!

Still,

I'm glad that she at least has one good quality.

She has a good quality?

Gyu-jin.

I'm grateful that she gave birth to a sweetheart like Gyu-jin.

You're absolutely right about that.

-It's her only good quality. -Right?

You're here, ma'am.

Why is the music so loud? Are you deaf?

You told me to turn the volume up.

Only to some extent!

This is a racket, not music.

Unbelievable.

Why is everybody so unsatisfying?

My part-time worker, my son,

and my daughter-in-law.

-Here you go, sir. -Gosh, you shouldn't have. Thank you.

I heard your fiancée works at a travel agency.

Yes.

It's quite a large agency.

Could I get a good deal in the holiday season?

Well, I'm still only an intern--

Yes, of course. All you have to do is ask, sir.

Could you excuse me? This is an urgent call.

Yes, of course.

-Song-hui what's up? I-- -What do I do? The visa wasn't issued.

What do you mean the visa wasn't issued?

I must've typed in the wrong English name.

I missed the email telling me to send it again.

I pleaded with them on the phone, but it didn't work.

-I'm sorry I messed up your work. -No, it's all right.

Run to the embassy, and don't let the clerk leave.

I'll be right there.

What's going on? Where are you going?

The Chinese embassy.

A visa wasn't issued, and I need to sort this out.

Are you kidding me?

We're taking the professor out to dinner today.

I know, and I'm really sorry, Yeong-hun.

I'll sort it out quickly and join you for dinner.

-Sorry. -What? Da-hee, wait!

-I'm really sorry! -Da-hee!

Darn it.

Seo-yeong, shouldn't you head to the academy to study?

Won't Auntie be mad?

She will be, which is why I'm enjoying the moment.

I guess she can take a punch quite like you, Jun-seon.

You were like that too. You knew Dad would be mad, but had all the fun.

Exactly. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Dad, can't I go to Aunt Da-hee's wedding tomorrow?

You have a class with your tutor. I can't ask her to let you skip it.

Why do you always let her have the final say?

Being that foolish is why you got divorced.

I agree.

I'm not being this way because I'm afraid of Hyeon-gyeong.

Your dad is trying to be attentive to her needs--

Gosh, it's your mom. Yes?

One of my classes got canceled, so I left work early.

I'm outside the house. Let Seo-jin out.

Sure thing.

Seo-jin, your mom is here.

It's your mom!

Seo-jin, did you have a good day today?

Come on. Let's go.

Seo-jin, bye!

I know that Seo-yeong is here. Send her home in 30 minutes.

Sure.

I like how you and Seo-yeong are close,

but follow my lead when it comes to her education.

Sure thing. By the way…

you won't be

attending Da-hee's wedding tomorrow, will you?

How can I show up there?

I hope it goes well.

Thanks.

Be careful on the road.

Why did you come by instead of going straight home?

Mother, I'm sorry about how I acted earlier.

I was rude…

No, I was very rude.

So you know.

I took a close look at it, and the color was different.

I'll definitely wear it tomorrow.

Right?

Of course, the design and colors are different.

I told you so.

How could it be the same when it was just released?

Aren't they delicious? Like I said, they make the best sushi in Gangnam.

They're not bad, and the fish is fresh.

So, when will you two have a baby?

Your younger sister might get pregnant first.

Why would you suddenly bring that up during dinner?

It's not sudden. You're late if you ask me.

Geriatric pregnancies are dangerous, you know.

All right. Just eat for now. Let me get you one. Here you go.

Here.

I'm sorry, Yeong-hun. I had no choice earlier.

You know my company is promoting interns to full-time positions next month.

I know I'm not saving the world or anything at work, but still.

Anyway, I'm really sorry. Could you forgive me?

Don't be so mad. I'll see you tomorrow at the salon.

Sweet dreams, groom-to-be.

Talk about a long day.

No one can go through wedding preparations twice.

Oh gosh.

My goodness.

Gosh.

Did you come home just now?

Sorry, Dad. Did I wake you?

No, I was catnapping anyway.

Have you not had dinner yet?

Of course I have.

I ate, but I'm hungry again for some reason.

How about I make you your favorite rice with sweet and sour chicken?

Really?

I'd love that. You're amazing!

Slow down. You don't want an upset stomach.

Your food could never upset my stomach.

I'll keep making this for you. Come by when you crave it.

Your job is important and all, but you…

Yes, I know.

"Don't skip meals." Right?

-That's what you always say. -Of course.

We only earn money to put food on the table,

so there's no need to sacrifice your health for it.

To be honest,

I was hoping to keep you with me a little while longer.

I'm not sure if I was right to approve this marriage.

You must be worried about me.

Sorry.

That again.

Why are you always sorry about everything?

You're right.

I wonder why I always apologize. I really don't want to be this way.

You're too kind, that's why.

Being too kind is all good,

but it'll only exhaust you, so stop being like that.

Da-hee, what are you doing at this hour?

Are you insane? You shouldn't be eating

when you're getting married tomorrow! No, stop!

It's not even half a bowl, so let her have it.

She shouldn't be eating anything at the moment.

Give me that.

But she says she is hungry!

-Honey. -Stop it!

Not at this hour!

-What's wrong with you? -She is hungry.

-But her wedding is tomorrow! -So what?

Why do I feel so anxious?

I already checked the things I needed to prepare.

The white gloves are ready for the wedding.

The return gifts are in the car.

I should go to the salon by seven tomorrow morning.

What else?

Stop murmuring and go to sleep.

You might be up all night.

Honey.

Da-hee will live a happy life, right?

I'm worried.

She doesn't have a good educational background.

And we're not as rich as his family.

You're the one who wanted him to be your son-in-law.

Just go to sleep.

Right. She'll lead a happy life. She should.

Otherwise, I can't say the world is fair.

Will you turn off the lights?

Okay. I'm turning them off now.

You look great today.

Congratulations!

Hello. Thank you for coming.

-It's been a long time. -Hello.

-Ga-hee. -You're here.

You look beautiful.

-You're here. -Hi, guys.

This is so heavy.

Thank you.

Hello, ma'am.

You haven't aged at all.

You're the best.

-You're here. -Congratulations.

You must be really happy.

Ga-hee, you're still pretty.

I know. I could get married again, right?

Please come in.

-Okay. -See you.

I warned you to keep a low profile.

It's D-day for me too. I'm officially single now.

Gosh, look who's here.

You're Jeong-tae, right? Da-hee's friend. You've become so handsome.

-You look beautiful. -Thanks.

Mom! What time does the wedding end?

The shoot was brought forward. I must go to Yangpyeong by 3 p.m. Is it possible?

It has to be possible. I'm in huge trouble.

Hello. Oh, you're here.

My goodness.

Oh, Na-hee.

-Hey. -Mom.

What took you so long? I've been looking for you.

Come with me.

Ms. Jeong, you know Na-hee. My second daughter.

Oh, right.

Right. The pediatrician.

My son-in-law works at the same hospital.

-Where's Gyu-jin? -He's not here yet.

Thank you for coming.

Why isn't he answering the phone?

Yes, it's me.

Where are you? The wedding starts in 30 minutes.

I'm leaving now.

You haven't even left yet?

It's Saturday. The traffic will be terrible.

Your mom isn't the bride.

Does she have to get her makeup done in Cheongdam-dong?

Okay. We're coming now.

Hey, Mom is done.

I'll go start the car, Mom. I'm hanging up. See you.

What?

Hey, look over here.

-Make the eyebrow thinner. -We're late. Hurry.

Okay. I have to finish my makeup though.

Then why did you wake up so late?

You drank last night, didn't you?

What are you talking about? I just slept in.

This eyebrow looks like a seagull.

I'll go pull out the car.

Yeong-hun, are you still upset?

Please stop being mad. I'm sorry.

Whatever. Forget it.

I'll let it go when I want to. Don't force me.

-You look pretty. -You two look great together.

-Thank you for coming. -Congratulations.

Congratulations, Yeong-hun.

They are my colleagues from the training institute.

Hello. I've heard a lot about you.

Now the groom and the bride will march together.

Congratulations!

Good luck!

Good luck!

Congratulations!

Congratulations.

The bride's mother. Please look at the front.

-All right. I'll take a picture then. -No, hang on. Please wait a second.

Call Gyu-jin and ask where he is.

-We can't take a picture without him. -Whatever.

He didn't come in time, so let's just leave him out.

Go ahead and take the picture.

Okay. Please look over here.

In one, two…

Stop! Wait. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, Father. I was stuck in traffic.

I'm sorry, Da-hee. Congratulations.

You should've left earlier.

It's okay. I'm just glad that he made it.

-Come on up. -Okay.

-Here. -I'm sorry.

Thank you for coming. You're sweating a lot.

Stop it.

-All right. -Ms. Choi, please join us.

I'll take a picture then.

Please look over here. In one, two…

We're late, Mom. Hurry.

Okay. Don't worry. Your dad will wait for you.

Hang on.

My phone is ringing.

What?

I'm sorry,

but I don't think I can see Ji-hun today.

I suddenly got a flight scheduled.

Don't you dare lie to me.

Why? Did that wench tell you not to go?

No. It's just that Mr. Hwang went to Tanzania and--

Shut it.

I told you not to betray Ji-hun no matter what.

If you keep being like this, everyone will find out about what you did.

Behave yourself.

Oh, right. I forgot something.

Ji-hun, your dad has an urgent flight today,

so he asked me to bring you some other time.

I was so busy with the wedding that I forgot about it.

I'm so silly, aren't I? I mean, seriously.

What should I do? I'm sorry.

It's okay. I'm fine.

Actually, I was feeling a little tired today.

Please use at least two of those. We only have one life, you know.

-Hey, make sure to do it right. -Okay.

-If you're stiff, it won't look good. -Okay.

Jeong-bong, stretch your legs. Keep stretching your hamstrings.

That hurts! Don't mess with me when I warm up.

Team B, you go first. Team A, stand by.

-Okay. -What are you doing?

Mr. Jang. While you were talking to the director,

I checked the scene and had the guys warm up.

It's good, right? We can start right away.

Okay. Byeong-heon, can I see you for a moment?

The director wants this scene to have more impact.

-Jun-seon. -What?

-Aren't you going to warm up? -Right.

-You should. -I'll go warm up.

-Hey, Jong-su. -Yes.

You could hurt your shoulders if you warm up like that.

Gosh, it's not easy to get married. It's killing me.

Tell me about it.

I don't even remember who I met at the wedding.

I need to get some sleep. I'm so tired.

I'm hungry.

Can we have dinner at the restaurant down here first?

Okay. Get some sleep then.

Hello?

Cheon-hong. I'm in my hotel room now.

Really?

Okay. I'll be right there.

Bye.

My friends are waiting at the wine bar. Come with me.

Now? You said you were tired.

But they're here to see us. Let's go see them for a moment.

Hang on. Let me get rid of these pins.

Thank you. I wasn't bored on my journey, thanks to you.

You're welcome. I'm honored

that I could sit next to an amazing woman like you.

I'd like to take you to the Japanese restaurant I recommended earlier.

Can I have your number if you don't mind?

Oh, that wouldn't be polite.

Please give me your number. I'll call you.

Call me. Okay?

Gosh, an international lawyer?

That's why she's a good talker.

That wasn't a boring flight at all.

-Cheers. -Congratulations.

Thanks for coming. Thank you.

Hey, you managed to get Prof. Han to officiate.

You're trying to appeal to him already?

Of course. There will be a new minister of public administration and security.

No one knows how that will affect us civil servants.

I must be prepared.

Still, don't you think they'll keep the Sejong City administration system?

Whether the legislation or administration wins

will affect my future career.

Let's stop talking about work and have the newlyweds drink a glass together.

-Why not? -Yes.

When else will we get to see that?

-Do it. -Do it.

Who does that these days? That's so corny.

-Corny stuff is the new trend. Do it. -Do it.

Okay. Fine.

Ready?

Be happy!

Be happy!

-I have to make a call. -Thanks.

Are you okay these days?

I'm doing better.

Good for you. And you?

-I'm fine. -I'm the only one who isn't.

Working in legislation is a real struggle.

Why? Is your boss a jerk?

I should go to the pharmacy. I've been having a headache.

-Stay and drink. -Why…

Oh, right. I have painkillers.

-It's really tough. -Is it?

Da-hee.

Da-hee.

Da-hee!

It's not like that. Da-hee.

Da-hee. I'll explain. Da-hee.

All right. Fine. My heart swayed because of Yeo-jin during my training.

She's smart, we speak the same language, and she's intellectually on my level.

I liked that.

To be honest, we were seeing each other until recently,

but I ended up choosing you.

That's the point you must remember.

-Do you get that? -So what?

Are you saying I should be grateful?

That's not what I'm saying.

I was going to end it with her.

I mean, I already ended it.

How can I believe that?

What is it that I just saw?

That was just Yeo-jin getting a bit heated.

I tried to cool her down and…

Hey. Can't you pretend you didn't see anything?

I ended it!

I'd like to check in.

Are you yelling at me right now?

I'm just…

No, I'm not.

-Shoot. -Do you know what I hate the most?

Lying.

Deceiving.

-However great you are-- -Fine.

I get it.

So what?

What do you want?

What?

Shall I get down on my knees and beg?

Or shall we cancel our marriage? Shall we?

How can you say that?

-I-- -What do you want to do then?

Do you think I married you because I'm hopelessly in love?

Yeo-jin doesn't want to marry,

and Mom said I should marry a slightly dimwitted woman.

You are a bit frustrating, but you're kind.

Darn it. Why must I explain myself like this?

Jeez. This is so irritating.

Hey.

If you can't handle it, call it quits.

Let's just call it quits.

-What? -Let's be honest.

How could you meet a guy like me?

To be frank, what qualities do you have?

You don't have a decent job, and you aren't that pretty.

Your family isn't wealthy either.

You're just an intern at a travel agency.

Hey. Let's quit all this.

To be honest, I wasn't sure I should stay married to you forever.

Let's call it off.

We haven't even registered our marriage. There are no issues.

We're done. Our marriage is void, okay?

Excuse me.

Hey. Are you all right? Can I help you?

What?

I need water.

I drank

straight from that bottle.

Thank you. I mean, I'm sorry.

This is for the water.

I'm really sorry.

My goodness.

Seoul men got really nasty while I was away.

Why does she look familiar?

It's not a woman I broke up with.

A classmate? No.

A friend of a friend? No.

Who is she?

Does she just have a common face?

We should just order pizza on a day like this.

What's all this?

Be quiet. We must feast on a special day.

The pork is nicely cooked.

Don't you think this is too little?

It is too little, isn't it?

I should call your aunt and tell her to get more meat.

Is there anything I can do?

No. Don't you try to wriggle out of this.

I told you so many times to be on time.

Yeo-jin doesn't want to marry,

and Mom said I should marry a slightly dimwitted woman.

You are a bit frustrating, but you're kind.

I feel so confused

Wait. Look over there.

Isn't that Da-hee sitting over there?

You're being silly again.

Why would she be there? She got married today.

Your eyes must be failing, just like your fading looks.

Will you stop attacking me about my looks?

Are you even real sisters with Ok-bun?

We are! She looks like my mom, and I look like my dad.

You have tiny eyes. Watch your step in the dark.

-Eat all you want. -Okay.

-Eat up. -Gyu-jin.

-You like japchae. -Yes, Mother!

Let's all raise a glass.

President Song should make a speech on this joyous day.

Why bother when it's just us?

Thank you all for your hard work at the wedding.

I'm so happy today.

I raised all four kids, so now I, Song Yeong-dal,

will work even harder for our market's development.

Our hope and the proud future--

Let's all raise a glass to Da-hee's happiness.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Here comes more food. -Great.

Here.

Mom.

Ouch! That's so hot!

Save me!

-Oh dear. -Are you okay?

It's not like I ask for much!

Kids cause you lots of pain.

It's so painful, Chi-su.

You should try to understand and talk--

Mother. Please don't try too hard.

Ok-bun isn't getting any terrible ideas, is she?

It's a temporary truce due to an emergency situation.

Leave me alone!

Since when did you ever care for me?

It's your mom again?

You're the only one who has an issue with this.

You resented me all along.
