Original subtitles

I'll go back to university.

-What? -What?

University? What university?

I'll study and transfer to a four-year university.

Mom. Dad.

It's been my dream to study child psychology,

so that's what I'll do.

I'll get my diploma, become a certified psychologist,

and do what I love while being someone who's needed.

That's the only way for me to love myself.

Do you know how difficult it is to transfer schools?

You're being ridiculous.

Consider your age.

Your brain won't be able to keep up.

Besides, you were a terrible student--

I mean, your grades were slightly below average.

Da-hee, you're not thinking rationally.

This isn't the right way to deal with the shock from your annulment.

You're practically throwing another grenade at us.

We're dying here.

Just remember that this is our last shelter.

He's right!

I know that.

I also know it's absurd, and I'm not smart.

But that's why I'm going to give it my all.

Please believe in me this one time.

I won't ask you to pay for any of my classes.

I'll get a part-time job and pay for them myself.

I just think

it's my last opportunity to take this chance.

So please…

Da-hee,

I understand how you feel,

but your siblings are right.

You know how difficult transfer exams are.

Money isn't the issue. The timing--

Go for it.

Go ahead.

If other people can do it,

so can you.

Na-hee is proof that cleverness runs in the family.

And Da-hee's grades

were better than Jun-seon's anyway.

So just give it a go.

We'll consider it as something

we should've made her do years ago.

Mom.

It's just like you said.

Consider this your last chance

and do your very best.

So make a life for yourself

that won't be looked down on by others.

You can do it too.

My gosh, Ok-bun. You couldn't be more encouraging.

Thanks, Mom!

I promise I'll study really hard, and I'll show you that it can be done.

Honey, what has gotten into you?

What do you mean?

That wasn't like you at all.

"Cut the nonsense. First an annulment, and now you want to go to school?"

The old you would've discouraged her immediately.

I don't always discourage our kids, you know.

It said on the news that it's easier

to change your nationality than your level of education.

That's just how the world is.

Da-hee must've been frustrated with it all.

Is that really the only reason?

What other reason can there be?

Am I not allowed to encourage her now?

Well, if that's the case…

It's just

that I'm sorry.

Every child frustrates you in the same amount.

Ok-ja calls it the principle of trouble conservation.

Out of all our children,

Da-hee has caused the least trouble.

She had to clean up after her siblings

and tend to Na-hee while she studied.

We've never done anything for her.

We never expected anything from her

which could be the reason why she never aimed high.

I don't want

to see her be discouraged anymore.

I want to trust her and let her do what she wants.

I'll encourage her as much as I should've years ago.

Sure. Let's do exactly that.

I guess parenting keeps teaching us new things.

-Gosh. -Goodness.

I wish I could stop being taught new lessons.

-Turn off the lights, will you? -Sure thing.

COHABITATION CONTRACT

Okay, good. That's easily readable.

This is my space, so I can move the furniture however I want, right?

Sure thing.

Just learn the contract by heart so that we don't get in each other's hair.

I'm more worried about you.

Now we have to clean and do the laundry for ourselves.

And we both know you're terrible at housekeeping.

Worry about yourself, and mind your own business.

That's right. Why would I even worry about you?

Can you go back to your space, then?

I'd like to get changed and go to bed.

Okay.

Unbelievable!

You've got to be kidding me.

Hey! What…

Why didn't you knock?

Don't invade my privacy. We're not married now.

Sorry. I left my phone out here.

What am I supposed to do, then?

I need to use the bathroom and the kitchen too.

Then at least knock.

I graciously let you have the bedroom, didn't I?

Okay, noted.

As if there's anything I'd actually like to see.

What do you mean by that?

Na-hee, what do you mean?

Is it salty?

Gosh, it's perfect.

You're awake.

Skipping breakfast has been leading to stomachaches.

As if I asked.

Egg rolls.

How soft!

The kimchi looks super crunchy too. Let me try one.

I could eat seconds and thirds.

Does that taste good?

Yes, you know how I enjoy eating light meals for breakfast.

It helps me focus more in the mornings.

Right, you like the American style.

It must keep your stomach at ease.

Na-hee!

That's the milk I bought.

Article three of the Cohabitation Code.

You never touch your housemate's belongings.

When caught, you have to pay three times the price.

Read the Cohabitation Code again.

What? Oh my gosh.

I should've hung these out to dry yesterday.

There.

Wait.

Isn't it Thursday today?

Article five of the Cohabitation Code.

You do laundry on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

I do it on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Who does it on Sundays will be up for debate.

Did you not memorize that clause?

But I still need something to wear for work.

-It's wet. -That's your problem.

Darn it.

-I'll just dry them myself. -Hold it!

I bought the hair dryer, so don't even think about it.

Good morning…

Hi, guys. I see you're all here early.

What on earth are you wearing?

I suddenly wanted to wear it today.

There's no particular dress code for doctors, right?

The government promotes shorts in the office. You should wear this too.

Of course, you can wear whatever you want. I actually find it pretty stylish.

We have to go over the research paper for spring.

-Where's the material? -It's right in front of you.

-Good job today. -Good work.

Have a good day.

Gyu-jin!

What took you so long?

What a nutjob.

How can she be this evil?

She's so vicious and malicious.

What?

What are you mumbling about?

Why couldn't you have come earlier?

I said I had a meeting this morning.

I came earlier than usual.

You woke me up yelling that you needed a shirt.

-Don't you have one at home? -I told you that none were dry.

-The others are at the dry cleaner's. -You have a dryer at home.

I can't use it today.

What do you mean? Is it not working?

Don't ask.

Why do you want to know about my personal life?

What's with the temper? Did you and Na-hee fight?

I told you not to ask!

Will you look for an academy to study at today?

Yes, I'll register for a class

and look for a part-time job while I'm out.

Auntie, it's admirable. I wish you the best.

Your words couldn't be more encouraging.

Thanks.

Then eat up.

You can't study unless you're fit enough.

Look at you, receiving special treatment now.

Good for you, Last One.

You're right. Maybe I should go back to school too.

Is there an age limit for college?

Ga-hee and Jun-seon.

Don't call me Last One anymore.

-What? -What?

Don't call me Last One anymore.

The Last One you knew no longer exists. I've been born anew.

I'd appreciate it if you don't call me by any nicknames that belittle me.

Why are you guys laughing?

Because you sounded so serious.

"Don't call me Last One anymore. I've been born anew."

But we're so used to it. Can't we keep calling you that?

Shut it and do as she wants. I don't like hearing that either.

You'll be banned from meals if you call her that again.

Mom, you're overreacting.

Why can't we call her that when it's who she is?

Listen to your mom, you punks.

What if I called you Loafer One and Loafer Two?

Gosh, no.

Got it, Dad.

Tell Mr. Yang to bring by a kilogram of pork on his way over.

Why? Is it for Da-hee?

We might have an Ivy Leaguer on our hands at this rate.

I don't know if we should let her work part-time.

Shouldn't she devote all her time to her studies?

Can't you pay for her classes instead?

But this is what she wants, so just let her

follow her own plans for now.

But still…

You said we should trust and encourage her.

I'm sure Da-hee will do a good job.

She gets her tenaciousness from me, remember?

Come on. Is that really the reason? Maybe you think it's a waste of money.

Must you put it like that?

Do you really think I'm that cruel to my kids?

My goodness, we're late. Ok-ja will be angry.

Gosh.

Where are you going? You said we're late.

Be quiet.

My gosh.

Hello!

-Would you like some? -Yes.

Gosh!

Why is she even here? I can't believe this.

It's like my husband, neighbors, and friends are all my enemies.

My darn life!

I'm here to register for the morning classes.

Please fill out this form.

None of these jobs seem fairly easy.

All I need are the evening shifts.

HIRING PART-TIMER, FROM 5 P.M. TO CLOSING

This work is never-ending.

I posted a job opening long ago, but no one has called.

Did I even post it right?

My goodness!

I can't believe this.

She wants to transfer after all this time?

Da-hee is unbelievable.

She didn't study when she had to. How will she do it now?

I don't think it's a good idea.

That's my other line, Ga-hee.

MOTHER-IN-LAW

Never mind.

Go on. I don't have to answer it.

-Na-hee. -Hang on. What's up?

There is a welcome party for me after work today. You have to come.

I don't like get-togethers. Let's celebrate next time on our own.

I know that, but it's a welcome party for me.

If you don't come, I'll be upset. I'll see you later.

All right.

Let's welcome our young newcomer, Dr. Yoon Jae-seok.

Bottoms up, everyone!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Drink up.

Thank you.

Drink up.

I'm watching you.

Dr. Song, over here.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Gosh.

I guess you do care about your brother-in-law.

It's surprising to see Dr. Song at a get-together.

Please come and have a seat.

What would you like to drink? You don't like drinking, do you?

I don't really like alcohol.

I'll just drink soda.

Why? Now that you're here, you should drink with us.

Here.

We've already had two rounds each.

Dr. Song, go ahead

and drink this up.

I hate drinking alcohol all at once.

I will take my time and drink it slowly.

You can't do that.

You came late, so you need to catch up.

Drink up.

Bottoms up.

-Bottoms up. -Bottoms up.

Sir, I will drink it for her.

-Give it to me. -Hey.

Why would you step up?

If someone is to drink for her, it should be Dr. Yoon.

-Me? -Sure.

Well… I don't mind drinking it for her.

But I'm not sure if Dr. Song wants me to.

Forget it. I'll drink it myself.

You scratched my back, so let me scratch yours.

Sir.

It looks great.

Good.

One more.

All right.

-One more. -Again?

That's good.

All right.

Wait, Na-hee. You're drinking too much.

Na-hee!

Here.

Again?

I can't.

I can't drink any more.

-You hypocrite. -What did you say?

Put yourself in others' shoes already.

You say you offer drinks to socialize,

but if I do the same, I bet you think it's disrespectful.

Stop forcing everyone to drink.

It's already backbreaking to work at the hospital.

I don't want to be stressed out from a get-together.

When…

when did I force you guys to drink?

Be quiet.

My gosh.

Na-hee.

Dr. Song.

That's enough for the basic steps.

Now let's practice the moves with your legs and arms.

-Okay. -Okay.

You should pair up first.

Married couples can be partners.

Do I have to do this with my wife?

I want to dance with someone else… No, I can't.

You fool.

I'm sorry, but it seems I don't have a say in this.

As for the rest of you…

You two can be partners.

And you two.

Excuse me.

I don't want to be his partner.

I'm here to relieve stress, not to get more.

My gosh. I feel the same way.

I'd rather dance alone.

Why don't you just give it a shot?

If it doesn't work for you, I'll change your partners.

Let's begin.

Stand facing each other.

Ladies, put your hand on your partner's shoulder.

Guys, put your hand on your partner's waist.

And hold the other hand.

Look into your partner's eyes passionately.

One, two.

-Two, three. Cha-cha. -Don't laugh.

-One. -Ma'am.

What if her nostrils look bigger than her eyes?

What? Are you kidding me?

Look. They are even bigger now.

Just keep your mouth shut!

Get off. Let go of me.

-I'm not drunk. -Bye.

I can walk straight.

Hey, careful.

Why did you drink so much when you can't even hold your liquor?

Go on ahead.

Look who it is.

You're my ex-husband.

Are you happy that you got divorced? Are you?

Hey, will you keep quiet?

You're the one who asked for a divorce.

You punk!

Don't live like that.

How can love change?

You sly jerk.

-We got divorced because you-- -Hey!

Gyu-jin, your taxi is here.

Hey. My goodness!

Gosh. Hey.

Darn it.

Gosh. I didn't do this even when we were married.

Darn it! My back is killing me.

That lunatic.

She even falls off the bed. What a sight to see.

Look at her.

Look at her getting back up.

My gosh. This is unbelievable.

Good night.

Gosh, it hurts!

Mom, I'm going out.

Aren't you eating breakfast? I'm cooking now.

I don't have time. Training begins today. This movie has a lot of great scenes.

I'll be on camera many times.

If this thing goes well, I'll get paid a lot for this movie.

I'll get you a mink coat then.

Forget about a mink coat. Just earn your keep.

Mom, I'm going out. I'm attending classes starting today.

Eat breakfast. You can't study on an empty stomach.

I'll eat something before I head into class. I'm leaving.

I have class duty today, so I should leave early.

See you.

They should've told me that they're leaving early.

I always eat rice for breakfast.

Just eat it. Let me take it easy from time to time.

It feels like I'm chewing rice stalks.

I said just eat.

-Eat. -Okay.

Good morning.

-Hello. -Hello.

-One, two. -Hey.

Jeong-bong. Jong-su. You guys are doing great.

-Is Mr. Jang in his office? -Yes.

-He's upstairs with Byeong-heon. -Okay. Keep practicing. Stay at it!

-Okay! -Okay!

Jun-seon really gets on my nerves.

Why is he so dim-witted?

Why does he act like a senior when he's not even that good?

He's not the CEO.

He's not even a martial arts director.

I wish he'd act his age.

Or wise up and quit.

You know how bright he can be.

That's not being bright. It's being stupid.

Honestly, it's not easy for me to keep him around.

He's old and picky about his stunts because of his back problem.

To be honest, the kids feel uncomfortable around him.

He's so nosy too. He meddles in everyone's business.

I wish he'd just fend for himself.

-Byeong-heon, don't put up with it. -What?

Speak up if you must.

-Mr. Jang! -Hey, Jun-seon.

-Hello. -Hi.

I have something to say.

I'm really sorry, but I need to quit.

What? Why so suddenly?

Every dog has its day, I guess.

Someone offered to invest in me.

It's this producer from Hong Kong.

Apparently, he's really big in the industry.

He saw some of the stunts I did

and said I was awesome.

How can I refuse when he offered to invest?

I should give it a go, shouldn't I?

I see. Who is this investor?

What?

There's someone called Tteok Hua.

Tteok Hua?

Yes, it's someone called Tteok Hua.

Anyway, I'm really sorry

that I have to quit like this.

I'll buy you a drink when things are sorted out.

Let's stay in touch, okay?

-Okay. -Good. See you.

-Bye. -Take care.

I wonder how much he'll offer. I have no idea.

Look up Tteok Hua.

-Jun-seon! -Jun-seon!

-What is it, you two? -We'll come with you!

We have no interest in Action Art if you leave!

-Jun-seon! -Jun-seon!

-What, Mom? -You took your sweet time.

I called you so many times yesterday.

Sorry. We had a get-together yesterday.

What about your wife? Did the get-together start at midday?

She totally ignored my calls.

She must've been busy, then.

What? Is something wrong?

The part-timer suddenly quit.

I had a terrible time running the cafe on my own.

I wanted to ask for help but couldn't reach any of you.

What's wrong with your wife?

She should've at least called me today.

What does she think of her mother-in-law?

I'll do something if she keeps this up.

Mom, I'll…

Mom, I have a long line of patients waiting.

I… I'll come over when I'm free.

Mom, I'll call you back. Bye, Mom.

It looks like things are about to get really exhausting.

You must feel okay.

Thanks to you, my back and shoulder still hurt.

You should've left me alone. Why take me home?

I regret doing so right now.

Don't you go and get drunk anywhere.

You're the type that could get into trouble.

Don't worry. I'll fend for myself.

As if you can. You almost spilled the beans.

Wait.

I heard my mom called you yesterday.

Yes. She did.

Couldn't you have just picked up?

What for? Am I obligated to?

She must've called to make me come over.

Clause seven. We must attend family occasions

like birthdays, national holidays, and ancestral rites.

For other occasions, prior notice must be given.

And they are attended by mutual consent only. Right?

No, wait.

Even so…

Come with me.

Let's just talk. Come with me.

Let go of me.

Na-hee.

Let's amend a clause.

This might make my life crazy.

Amend how?

You know my mom hates it when you ignore her calls.

Will you help me out here?

Take a minimum number of her calls.

Why should I? The stress she caused was terrifying.

Hey…

Okay. Then how about this?

We'll count the calls you take.

When we sell our apartment and split the profit,

I'll pay you more per call.

You're getting such great ideas.

How much will you give me? About 100,000 won per call?

That's robbery.

I don't want to take her calls.

You sort out your own mom.

Wait.

Do you think I'm doing this just for my sake?

I'm not.

If you ignore her calls, where do you think she'll go?

You think she'll run over to us? No. She'll go to your innocent mom.

And then what? You'll say you don't have to answer?

Because we're divorced?

You got divorced?

-My gosh. -Divorced?

When affixed with "to," does a verb remain a verb? No.

It's no longer a verb now.

In English, what always comes after the subject?

I called because I saw you're looking for a part-timer.

You hired someone already? I see.

Okay, I understand. Thank you.

Oh dear. It's not easy to find part-time work.

Oh? Ms. Choi.

-Hi. -Give me that.

-My gosh. -I'll help you.

Thanks so much.

My part-timer suddenly quit.

This looks too heavy for you.

I have nothing but strength.

-Shall I put them here? -No, around the corner.

There are a few more inside.

I'm done. Is that all?

Thank you so much.

By the way, Da-hee,

since you're helping out, could I ask for a favor?

-Sure. -I'm out of bananas.

Could you watch the cafe while I get some?

-Okay. -If someone comes in, don't take an order.

Just say only fruit juice is available today.

Shall I get the bananas, then?

No. I have to buy other things too.

I won't be long. Help me out, okay?

Okay. Don't worry, then.

-See you. -Bye.

One Americano and one vanilla latte, please.

One Americano and one vanilla latte?

That's 9,500 won. Thanks.

Take a seat and I'll bring them over.

Da-hee.

You're back.

A customer was craving a coffee so much.

I worked at a coffee shop for over a year.

Shall I also make you a cup of coffee? Hot?

My gosh! How did you manage

to transform the cafe in just a short while?

I just cleaned up a few things I noticed.

By the way, are you all right?

I mean, we experience

all sorts of things in life,

but there must be some aftereffects.

I'm fine.

Thanks for your concern, Ms. Choi.

Sure. What about work? Are you still on holiday?

No. I quit my job.

I want to transfer to a university.

Transfer? My goodness. Won't your mom complain?

She might hate the idea.

No. I have her full support.

But at my age, I can't ask my parents to support me,

so I'll work part-time while taking classes.

I see.

Did you find a part-time job already?

No.

I'm only available in the evenings

because of my classes,

but I can't find anything suitable.

You can't?

Well, I need a part-timer too.

You live nearby, and we can arrange the schedule.

Would you be interested in working here?

Here? Really?

Yes.

You fools.

Why did you quit with me?

I lied about the investor.

I quit because I couldn't hang in there any longer.

I really have nothing at all.

We know that.

But, Jun-seon, you are too important to us.

That's right.

When no one paid us because we were inexperienced,

you shared your payment,

saying we needed to make a living too.

Hey. That was only natural because you worked.

No.

You're the only one who thought that was natural.

Forget about that. So what will you do now?

You ate and slept at the action school. Where will you live?

-Do you have a plan? -Jun-seon.

When did we ever plan things before causing trouble?

We'll think of something while staying at a sauna.

You two are unbelievable.

Here's your sweet and sour chicken. Yes, thank you for coming.

We sold all the chicken in stock, so let's call it a night.

It's been a while since we had so many customers.

We should have days like this too. Who says we always have to have bad days?

Mom, Dad, Auntie!

Da-hee, it's you.

Why are you here?

So I can go home with you two.

-Shouldn't you be closing up? -Right.

Wait a few minutes.

-I'll go pay for the peanuts. -Sure.

I hear you enrolled at an academy today.

Go for it when you can.

Get into a better university than Na-hee's and make her eat her words.

Yes, ma'am!

Mom, I even got myself a part-time job.

It's close by, and the hours are perfect.

Is that so? Where is it?

Won't it interfere with your studies?

Of course not.

It's at Ms. Choi's cafe.

-I'll be taking the evening shifts. -What?

What? At Yun-jeong's cafe?

Are you insane?

Why would you work for her?

Why not? It fits my schedule and the pay isn't bad.

I'm more than grateful.

That's out of the question!

This is a joke.

Did she actually ask you to work for her?

Yes, I met her on my way here, and she was looking for a part-timer.

She said she'd rather give me the job--

That's nonsense. Don't you know how mean she is?

A few days ago, she…

Anyway, my answer is no.

Don't you work there. I don't approve.

Aren't they friends?

Why does she hate her?

They've been

at each other's throats since high school.

I guess you could call them rivals.

Yun-jeong's always been mean to your mom

because she gets jealous easily.

There's bad blood between them.

I want you

to stay put.

I'll deal with her myself.

I felt bad after hearing Da-hee's story.

It really was a punch to the heart.

Why would I waste money on someone else?

I'd rather Da-hee pick up the paycheck instead.

-Ms. Choi. -Gosh, don't be like that.

It's just the two of us, so let's not be formal.

-Okay. Fine, Yun-jeong. -Go on.

Thank you for looking out for Da-hee, but she won't be working here.

What? Why not?

I know we're friends, but we're also in-laws.

There's a certain wall between us.

And just like what you said last time,

I'm worried she might bring bad luck

to your cafe.

Hold on.

Did I say such a thing?

Yes, you did.

It was quite recent. Did you already forget that?

Well…

Oh, that? That was just…

I only said that because I worried about you.

Anyway, I'll let Da-hee know myself.

Consider this never happened.

All right, then.

Ok-bun!

Okay, fine. Let me be a little more generous, then.

I'll give her a 20% raise. What do you say?

My gosh! This trash can needs to be emptied.

-Good day. -Okay, fine!

I admit that things are desperate for me, so please help me out.

So this isn't you being generous?

No, this is me pleading.

I really need the extra help.

Don't forget that you promised to give her a 20% raise.

Okay.

How dare she try to play me?

Did you and Na-hee really get divorced?

When? How?

Isn't it obvious?

We signed the papers and submitted them. It took less than five minutes.

I'm in shock.

This is the most shocking news I've heard lately.

You shocked me even more.

I can't believe you were sleeping there.

Anyway, don't tell Mom or the people at the hospital.

-Keep your mouth shut. -That's not the hard part.

But are you sure about this?

You're living together after your secret divorce.

This isn't Hollywood, you know.

I'm not sure if this is sophisticated or reckless.

We had no choice. We couldn't lose out on 100 million won.

Gyu-jin.

Are you sure you won't regret this?

Na-hee is a great person.

This isn't because she's not great.

Two great people can marry

but still have problems.

You either overcome them

or call it quits.

Your sister-in-law and I…

I mean, your former sister-in-law. We called it quits.

Former sister-in-law? Must you be that cruel?

This is why you shouldn't marry in a rush.

Take your time and weigh your options.

I'm not interested in getting married.

Is that so? Why?

Managing my own life is hard enough.

I can't be responsible for someone else's. It's scary.

To be honest, I'm scared I might change my mind

like you and Na-hee.

And even if I live happily with my wife,

one of us will end up dying first.

The one left will wallow in sorrow.

Like Mom.

Marriage can only end in pain, if you ask me.

That's what I believe.

You're not wrong.

Why didn't you tell me that before I got married?

Would you have listened?

You and Na-hee were head over heels for each other.

Thank you, sir.

Gyu-jin, are you all right?

Can you make it home by yourself?

Of course. I'm not drunk. I'm not like Na-hee.

Must you speak ill of her?

Head home, then. Catch.

Jae-seok.

Na-hee.

No, wait. Should I not be so casual anymore?

I don't know what exactly happened, so it's not my place to say anything.

Still, I'm upset.

I really like the both of you, you know.

I'm sorry for making you witness this as soon as you came back.

I'd like nothing more than to ask what happened,

but I won't since I wouldn't understand anyway.

Can I still call you my sister-in-law?

That doesn't have to change, right?

It doesn't matter.

We need to keep up the act for the time being anyway.

It's a secret that I'm back in Korea, and so is Gyu-jin's divorce.

We're the secret-harboring brothers.

I know, and I'm sorry for playing a part in that.

When you decided to marry Gyu-jin,

I promised to always be on your side.

My arm…

Something's wrong with my arm.

Why? Do you have a cramp?

Unlike others,

the blood in me isn't thicker than water.

I'll always be on your side.

Call me when you're lonely, when you need a friend,

or when you need someone to eat with.

I hear that you're an outcast at the hospital.

An outcast?

Didn't you know?

Everyone says you only have Gyu-jin to eat with.

Me?

So you're really going to let Da-hee work at Gyu-jin's mother's cafe?

Why not?

She needs a part-time job anyway.

And you love money. She offered a 20% raise.

Money isn't the issue here.

Wouldn't it be uncomfortable?

Whatever.

She seemed desperate,

so I doubt she'll be a menace to Da-hee.

Well, Da-hee isn't the type to do anything wrong.

Exactly.

My gosh.

Is it already that time of year?

Will you be going there tomorrow?

Of course.

Let me come with you this time.

It's okay. I'll just go there myself.

All right.

Leave the store to me,

and make sure to be careful.

I'll cook some food and pack some fruit for you in the morning.

SONG YEONG-SUK

SONG YEONG-SUK

Is that where Yeong-dal went early this morning?

Yes.

Then he won't be back until after sundown.

I wonder how long he's going to keep this up.

Probably until the day he dies.

Then again, the pain won't go away easily.

He had to bury his sister in his heart.

It's a miracle that he settled down after meeting you.

Gosh, but still…

He lived his whole life blaming himself.

It's about time he lets himself off the hook.

He's too harsh on himself at times.

Don't you want some, Yeong-dal?

I already ate.

You can have it all.

Yeong-suk.

Don't you miss Mom?

Should I sing her song?

I'm talking about your sister.

Why don't you send her there?

How much can you earn polishing shoes anyway?

She'll only starve by your side.

If she works there,

she'll at least get enough meals.

They might even send her to school.

What do you say?

No, I won't go!

If you go there,

you can eat your favorite snack every day.

I don't want it!

I want to live with you!

Yeong-suk, look at me.

This isn't goodbye forever.

I'll earn enough money and come back for you.

I'll come to you before you see 100 full moons.

-I promise. -Really?

Yes.

So stay strong and wait for me, okay?

Also, don't you ever skip your meals.

If you have the right attitude, you can endure anything.

Got it?

Here is Mom's handkerchief.

Whenever you miss me and Mom,

you can look at this instead.

Okay?

Promise you'll come back for me.

Of course.

No one lives there anymore.

The orchard went bankrupt.

They ran off half a year ago.

Sorry?

Creditors came by and smashed everything in there.

It was a nightmare.

Then what about the people who worked here?

There was a young housekeeper.

The young girl they hired as a babysitter?

She had a round face and puppy eyes.

Yes, that's her.

She died.

Was it last year?

She had a high fever.

I saw one of the workers carrying her body to bury her somewhere.

I don't know where they buried her though.

You're still five

while I'm over 60 now.

Yeong-suk.

I'm sorry.

I'm terribly sorry.

I guess I really am an outcast.

Why though?

What did I ever do to them?

-Are you leaving? -Yes.

-I guess I'll see you next year. -Of course.

Yes, Chi-su.

Yeong-dal, where are you?

I had an errand to run, and now I'm on my way back. Why?

It's the day of the year when you're most miserable.

Don't trouble your wife, and hang out with me today.

I'll shut my store.

That's not necessary.

Just listen to your friend.

I'll treat you to something special today.

It won't be just soju again.

There's a place I've had my eyes on.

But…

My gosh, he's unbelievable.

Mr. Shin, don't bother.

It's on me today.

I want to go out with her.

How much will that be?

-Me? -Yes.

Sir, we don't do second rounds.

Did you not see that at the entrance?

This isn't a place like that.

No, I didn't see it.

You're belittling me, aren't you?

Where's the hostess? Get the hostess!

The hostess is right here. How may I help you?

Are you the hostess?

Are you?

Yes, I'm the hostess here. What's the matter?

The thing is,

this cutie says she doesn't want to go out with me.

Sure. That's true, sir. We don't do second rounds.

I've been in the liquor business for 15 years with my own principles.

I never water down liquor.

I never overcharge customers.

And I never let my employees go out for second rounds.

You've got to be kidding me.

If you run your business like this, you'll never get regulars.

Do you know who I am?

There are a lot of bars that ask me to come.

Is that so?

I'm sorry, but we still can't do that.

Darn it. You just don't seem to get it.

If you keep being like this…

-I said no. Just go. -What?

Gosh, I said it three times. You should get it by now.

I don't know who you are,

and I can make my living without regulars like you.

So take your business somewhere else, okay?

You crazy wench. Do you have a death wish?

It's my principle that I never skip a meal.

I had to sing 14 songs without having a meal

in order to serve customers drinking in broad daylight.

So I'm starving now. Do you know what that means?

What are you talking about, you lunatic?

It means you guys are dead meat. Do you understand?

You little…

I'm going to kill you!

She hit me.

I'm telling you.

He started throwing a tantrum, so she had no choice.

She didn't do anything wrong.

-It's okay. Stop it. -Cho-yeon.

You know I don't like to make excuses.

I'll pay if I did something wrong. If not, I'll be released.

Let's go, officer.

-Cho-yeon. -Cho-yeon.

-Wait. -My gosh.

-Cho-yeon. -Cho-yeon.

Here's your Americano.

-Do you want a carrier? -Yes, please.

I'm glad that I swallowed my pride and begged her.

Thank you. Please come again.

Bye.

Da-hee, can you turn up the volume?

Yes, Ms. Choi.

I'm not feeling well.

I will go get a massage and have dinner.

Take good care of the store while I am away.

And wipe the frame over there.

Yes, ma'am.

She's nothing like her sister.

I wish they were mixed half and half.

I've missed this acrid fine dust.

It's essential for humans to have freedom.

JUNGANG POLICE

-Cho-yeon! -Cho-yeon!

-Cho-yeon! -Cho-yeon!

-Cho-yeon! -Cho-yeon!

-Cho-yeon! -My goodness, stop it.

Stop making a fuss. This is embarrassing.

Cho-yeon, here. I got you some tofu.

This is ridiculous. It's not like I was in jail.

Where's the sauce? It comes with a sauce.

What was I thinking?

Ga-yeon, you always make mistakes like this.

Pull yourself together. How could you forget it?

Stop it. I can eat it without sauce.

Why is it so hard to open?

It tastes so good.

How did you reach a settlement with them?

Well… the thing is…

Ga-yeon closed her savings account.

We couldn't let you end up in jail.

To us, you are like a sister and mom.

I'm not your sister or mom.

I'm not even married.

I'll pay you back this month.

Open another savings account.

Okay. Just eat it.

Okay.

It tastes good.

Hey. You guys should go on ahead.

-I have a place to stop by. -Where are you going?

Don't ask.

I'm going to meet my boyfriend and get some money from him.

Here. See you.

Bye.

She's going there, right?

Yes, obviously.

Dad!

Gosh, I'm exhausted.

What brings you here? You didn't even call.

I came by because I missed you.

The trees have grown a lot.

What fertilizer do you use to make them grow so fast?

It's like magic.

I use something else besides fertilizer.

It's my sincerity.

Dad, give me that.

-Okay. -Let me sweep.

Is your business going well?

Well…

there's a new talking bar next to my store.

Apparently, the barmaids there are young and slim.

I lost all my regulars to them.

I've given them a lot of free fruit over the years.

They're so disloyal.

Dad. I should probably lose some weight.

Like I always say, appearances don't matter.

Those who visit your bar are hungry for emotions,

not attractive bodies.

So you should try to fill the void in their hearts.

It's--

The teachings of Buddha, so I should work hard with pride?

My gosh.

What kind of father

tells his daughter to work hard running a karaoke bar?

All occupations are equally honorable.

You just need to live a life you aren't ashamed of.

So what's the matter this time?

I guess you're here because something's troubling you.

Are you a mind-reader or what?

How did you know I had a lot on my mind?

I've raised you since you were six.

In the small temple in Mount Daeun.

Gosh, I know that.

If it weren't for you, I would've already been gone.

I was abandoned with a fever,

but you fed me with herbal medicine for ten days

and saved my life.

You took me in although I didn't remember anything.

You even let me call you Dad.

That's why I can tell just by looking at your face.

It looks like Cho-yeon is distracted with worries again.

Dad.

Monk.

Maybe I should quit running the bar.

Why? You said the work is cut out for you.

I just said that because I had nothing else to do

as a woman without parents nor a decent education.

I'm just sick of dealing with drunk customers.

I want to live an ordinary life,

like normal women do.

I think it's time.

What time?

Time to move on.

Time to change your life.

Time to get closer to the truth.

Gosh. You're just saying things.

I'm just sick of living like this.

So what do you want to do to make a living now?

Dr. Song.

I'm sorry. My work ended late. Shall we begin now?

-Yes. -Yes.

First, we organized the list of patients

who are under 18 with pneumococcus--

Hang on. Didn't I ask Han Gi-yeong to do that?

Where is he, by the way? Is he late?

What? What's going on?

Well… Did you not hear?

Gi-yeong transferred to Dr. Yoon's team.

What? Whose team?

I thought he told you.

Get data on antibiotic sensitivity with the samples on page 29.

-Hye-jeong. -Yes?

Up to December of 2019--

What is it, Dr. Song?

Can't you see we're in a meeting?

I see that.

I also see my team member who transferred without even telling me.

-Hey, Han Gi-yeong. -Yes?

-What are you doing here? -Well, the thing is…

Gi-yeong.

Didn't you say you talked to Dr. Song?

Well,

I sent her an email, but I guess she hasn't read it yet.

What? An email?

That's a notification, not a discussion. Come with me. Let's chat.

Dr. Song.

We're in a meeting right now. Can you--

Stay out of it, Dr. Yoon.

Hey. Follow me.

Don't be like this, Dr. Song.

Calm down. I'll talk to him later.

Stay out of it, Gyu-jin!

Did you have to do that in front of our juniors? You insulted me.

How can I be calm when you stole my team member

a week before the conference?

Let me make this clear. I didn't steal him. He came to me.

All you made him do was input your research data.

That's all he was asked to do when his juniors were watching.

How would he have felt? That's why all the juniors--

Treat me as an outcast?

I know. But that has nothing do with you taking him from me.

I didn't take him from you!

I thought he cleared things with you.

So you thought it'd be okay to take him in?

You should've at least discussed it with me.

You know my team is a member short without him.

I assumed you would've found someone else.

Really? Weren't you just trying to mess with me?

What do you take me for? I'm not like you, okay?

No, you're not.

You and I are fundamentally different.

I'm not as crafty as you.

You're always like this.

You say you didn't know and stay neutral without taking sides.

That is why I don't like you.

You're like that at work, and you're no different

with me and your mom.

That's why I divorced you. Because you're crafty!

Don't make it sound you split up with me!

Why isn't he picking up? He said he wanted to eat dinner.

Did he go home?

Why didn't you say so first?

I wanted to divorce you for a long time!

Honestly, these two…

They swore me to secrecy, and now this?

Are they broadcasting that they got divorced?

Yes, it's me.

It will be rush hour soon.

I'll have dinner with my son

and come over in the evening.

I feel the same way!

-We should've split up ages ago! -What crazy timing is this?

It'll be bad if Mom hears them.

No, I want someone else.

-She gives weak massages. -No.

Who cares? She'll kill me if she sees me here.

No, wait.

Getting a divorce was the best thing I did this year.

No. I must live.

Okay. See you later.

Mom!

What…

Are you Jae-seok?

What on earth…

Why are you in a white gown?

Mom. I'm sorry.

I love you!

You fool.

What happened?

Come here!

Come here!

Stop right there!

I got you.

You little rat.

You haven't seen me in ages. How could you call me a rat?

Isn't this too grand a welcome?

What?

Mom. How have you been?

My gosh. Obviously not too well!

That hurts.

You must be healthy. Your punches are more painful.

Are you on something? Ginseng?

Cut the nonsense!

Don't try to talk your way out of it.

What happened? Why are you here?

What's this white gown?

Why ask? Can't you put two and two together?

I'm back, and I work here.

And now you found out. The end.

Isn't that simple?

What?

You scumbag! You jerk!

Come here. Let's talk at home. Come with me!

-Mom, wait. -Come with me!

-Walk! -My gosh.

Can I at least change first?

I'll talk to Gi-yeong about this situation.

He won't talk to you. He's too scared right now.

Forget it. What good is such a timid kid? You keep him.

Okay. It would look bad to send him back.

That's why you should treat your juniors better.

Honestly, you're so…

MOM

-Mom. -Yoon Gyu-jin!

What's wrong with you?

Why? What is it, Mom?

"What is it, Mom?"

You knew Jae-seok was back?

And you didn't tell me?

When you work at the same hospital?

You and your wife! Come over right now.

-You'd better come no matter what! -Mom.

-I'll come alone. Na-hee can't-- -Bring her too!

Mom knows Jae-seok is back. She wants to see us.

Leave me out of it. I have no reason to go there.

I can't do that. You're the one who wants to keep this a secret.

You should cooperate to keep our cover.

Don't you remember Clause Seven of our contract?

That hurts, Mom.

That really hurts. Grab the other ear. The other ear, please.

Just let go. I won't run away.

No way. How can I trust you when you didn't even tell me you returned?

-It hurts. -Come in!

Okay, Mom. My gosh, please.

Mom.

Stop glaring. You're scaring me.

Tell me the truth.

When did you come back, you darn brat?

Do you have to curse?

Not long ago.

Be more specific. When did you return?

Tell me the exact date and time.

Saturday. Last Saturday.

Last Saturday?

That was a week ago. It's been a week.

And you started work without telling me, you ungrateful brat?

"Ungrateful"? You have no idea what a noble sacrifice I'm making.

I deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

What are you talking about?

-You scumbag. -Mom.

-Mom, let's talk it out. -You idiot.

Don't resort to violence.

That could become a habit!

-How dare you? -Mom.

-What? -What?

You…

What?

You…

You…

Mom, we're here.

Mother, we're--

What?

Da-hee.

Why are you here?

Na-hee.

You!

What?

What on earth did I say to my in-law?

That really was not me.

I didn't say it was just us. I said we had drinks.

What?

Do you think you'll never have to ask me for a favor?

I wasn't blessed with a good husband or great kids,

but I was blessed with a great son-in-law.

What's the matter? What happened?

-Really? -Really?

I'm thinking about moving on to another business.

Something ordinary.
