Spring of 1995

What are you guys going to do when school starts?

Meetings for sure, I'll go to rock cafe, too.

Back pack travel for me, mom and dad promised to send me.

Wow...

You three were always together like the twin sisters, so being admitted into the same college is so nice.

Mom, make us look pretty, ok?

Don't worry.

I'll make you all look the very best.

Yes, thank you.

♫ Even though the words I love you were not said

♫ Just like the first day we met

♫ Even though we didn't say anything

♫ I was on cloud nine

♫ Oh you, just like the first time

♫ Just like the first time, I'm thinking about you

At nineteen years of age, we were delighted with out hearts full of expectations.

It's urgent for them...

Summer of 2002

Dae-Han-Min-Goog!!

Dae-Han-Min-Goog!!

Just put one goal in!

Hey Jung Wan, you're pregnant, is it okay to get this excited?

Oh sure... this kid likes soccer a lot, too.

He might become a soccer player later.

It would be great if the kid is a good daugher like her.

Disheartening but they said it was a son. But, I like the son too.

Now, please have some of this.

Oh, thank you!

Have some, Honey.

Thank you.

But, there is also some milk I want to ask...

Right, I phased it.

No doubt, Joon Mo is so nice.

Is he only nice? Although he works hourly now, soon he'll be a professor.

Oh right. Sun Mi, you said you were getting an office next week?

That's so awesome.

Work is nice, but we need to gett married, too. We'll be thirty years old just like that.

Probably not, there are many candidates, but no man fits the bill for me.

Oh, oh,oh... !!!

At 29 years of age, we had expectations for the future.

The kind of expectations that we would have become comfortably wise women in our thirties.

Episode 1 But, at thirty nine, we...

Is it possible in any way? I really would like to get the loan.

I understand.

Yes.

I feel like going crazy.

Aigoo, only now... sorry for making you wait so long.

No, I have written a scenario recently, so I brought it to show you.

Well, it's probably great.

I'll introduce you to our team members, so let's go.

They're working on a scenario at the hotel right now.

Yes.

You must be bored.

Oh, no.

I'll drive, so you can watch TV, Writer Yoon.

He is none other than actor Sun.

With interior stylist Kim Sun Mi, they'll both be here.

Please come out, the two of you.

Oh, it's the program that fixes houses.

My wife watches it too

The interior lady is quite pretty.

She is my friend.

Oh, is that so?

You have a famous friend.

Yes.

You said you were 39 this year, right?

You'll be 40 next year, then.

You should also become successful before turning 40, right?

You're right.

Manager Kim, you're still single, right?

You should find a good person, get married and have a kid, too.

You're right.

What's wrong with this camera?

It always captures the tight shot like that.

It's okay, though.

Wasn't the lighting also your special work?

You are so quick with your senses.

Don't like it too much.

But, until when do we have to meet hiding like this?

Can we not meet at your house?

It's for your sake.

It's alright with me, but you're a famous person,

should you be hearing people say you're hanging out at some man's house, not even married?

You act like you're really caring.

Your house is not uncomfortable, right?

Because we fixed it based on your life style.

Not uncomfortable at all.

I like it too much!

Wait!

One second.

Just a minute, honey!

Yoon Seok

It's the company.

What's wrong? I told you not to contact me.

What?

Where are you?

Are you crazy?!

Noona

What are you? Did you follow me?

Noona, why are you like this?

Just what kind of guy are you meeting that you're like this?

Why do I have to tell you that?

Noona, how can you be like this?

How can I be like this? What are you?

Are you my boyfriend or something?

Don't get a wrong idea.

And, if you do this one more time, I really won't stay still.

Now, leave!

This is it.

Because there is a rumor that you'll succeed big, if you work at this hotel.

Oh, yes.

Where are the people that you said you would introduce to me?

You said they were working on a scenario here.

Please sit for now.

They must have left for a moment.

They're not coming back late, right?

Because I have something to do, and I have to go.

Why are you acting like that, you're not a virgin or anything.

Yes?

You said it's been a year since you divorced, right?

Then you must be lonely, thoughts of men come to you at night, too.

One glance, it seems you're hurting financially too, so let's see if we can't get along.

I'll load up a pretty decent contract fee for you.

What would you like me to order for you?

Sorry, excuse me. I'll be leaving now.

For someone who would know, why are you like this?

Bluntly speaking, who would hire an ahjumma who hasn't worked for 10 years?

Following me all the way here and acting this way, this isn't right.

That's not why I came here, just let me go!

At your age, why are you playing hard to get?

Are you really going to be like this?

Hey!

Dummy!

When he didn't even see the scenario and wanted to work together, I should have sensed it.

Fool.

Son,

me... of course I'm in a meeting.

First place in your class?

Oh, you did well!

You're great my son!

Mom is in the middle of a meeting, so I need to hang up.

I'll see you at home!

Miss Yoon Jung Wan, you know you aren't supposed to use your cell phone.

Sorry.

I am really sorry. It won't happen again.

Manager, you're coming in now?

Did you come? - Yea.

Boss, we got the House Monthly.

That Reporter Kang, what's wrong with him?

I told him so many times not to publish my age.

That's what I'm saying. Reporter Kang hears things wrong a lot.

Next time I see him, I might clean his ears out with a telephone pole.

That's fine, you can all finish up and go home.

Yoon Suk, would you come to my office for a moment?

I have something to talk about regarding Geumho-dong apartment.

Yes.

Why would she want to talk to Yoon Suk in private?

Because there is no issue with Geumho-dong apartment.

Who would know what she has in mind?

It's not even that day, so why would she be in a bad mood today?

You even know her period date?

Because it's the same date as me.

When women work together for a long time, that day becomes the same.

Before she makes any other move that could hurt us, let's leave already.

Yes.

Until when are you going to be like this?

Acting like this because of few times sleeping with him, it's ridiculous.

You dated him for 6 months.

Is that just few times sleeping together?

Did you not understand me correctly?

I'm 39 years old, age 40 is right around the corner.

It's not the time to meet someone to fall in love with.

I need to meet someone I can marry after dating.

You can marry me, too.

What can you do for me?

Eating Ddukbokki and riding bus, I can't do that kind of thing any more.

Your one month salary is not even enough to buy me a pair of shoes.

Please think about it for just one more time.

Don't you know that I'm like this because I sincerely like you, Noona?

I really truly like you...

Yoon Suk...

As you said, my one month's salary might not be enough to buy you a pair of shoes,

but I can save for months for that.

I can do it.

Is it really true that you like me?

Yes.

I like you so very much.

You could not imagine how much.

If you really like me, please end it here.

For me.

You can do that, right? It's what I'm asking you.

You said you really like me.

I'm home.

You just came back? - Yes.

Tae Guk didn't come yet right?

He called me saying he was going to see his father.

He wasn't planning on seeing his father, but his father bought a new car and wanted to pick him up at school.

He bought a car?

Yes. He became a professor and bought a car.

After divorcing you, it seems like everything turned out fine.

You stupid girl. You should've endured it a little more.

Even if you look around real hard,

you won't find a person as good as him.

I don't want to hear that!

What am I supposed to do with a good person?

He always agrees to be a guarantor on loans, and he goes around trying take care of all his sisters' problems!

For 10 years my insides have burned to black.

Is your back fine now?

Do I look fine?!

If my knees are doing okay, my back is terrible.

My body needs to be healthy for me to work as a hairdressor again.

What's the point of saying that?

He received the Palme d'Or award and Best Director award.

A Korean Director to win the Palm d'Or award, the most prestigious award of the Cannes,

and the Best Director award, is a first-time acheivement.

How does a movie director look like an actor?

He looks young, and hit the big time.

He's a famous movie director.

Perhaps because of his good looking face, rumors abound of him and female celebrities.

The dead son with his father...

sharply piercing Sam Eu...

Son!

What? He wants me to come down?

Where are you?

In front of our house?

Oh, okay.

Did he tell you to go down?

Should I go down to see his face?

It's been a long time since I've seen him.

Why do you want to see that human being?

Just stay.

-Mom! -Son.

I heard you bought a car, is this it?

Yes.

It looks nice. You must've made a lot of money.

Everyone knows a professors wage.

Sorry for making you come down.

As long as you know.

Why did you call me?

Tomorrow for my mothers birthday we're going to have a family dinner.

I was hoping you would send Tae Guk.

We're doing it here.

Okay.

Also...

Take this with you.

What is this?

It's Korean beef and red ginseng.

Eat it with mother in law.

And...

What?

Nothing. I'll tell you later.

I'll be going. Tae Guk, bye.

He gave you all this?

-Yes. -These expensive things...

The beef looks like it's of the highest quality!

I don't know what kind of money he has to buy all this.

Does a professor get paid a lot to buy all these?

A man needs to have good monetary fortune as he gets older.

I took a peek through the window, and...

I guess with all the money flowing in, he looked much better.

I didn't know he could have such a bright face.

What bright face?

The car is also shiny and everything...

If I can ride a car like that, I wouldn't wish for anything else!

Stop.

You dummy!

You saw that I lived hard. Why would you divorce? You should've just stayed with him.

Although they say the world has changed.

A woman living under a man's shadow is most comfortable.

I don't want to hear it!

Didn't you see how much I suffered living with him?

That was THEN!

Let's drop it.

I need to get physical therapy tomorrow, so give me some money.

Just pay with the card for now.

If you keep just paying with the card, how are you going to pay back later?

I told you to not worry!

You know that I'm running out of money to cover living expenses, right?

When is the contract money coming in?

Do you guys just have meetings all the time but not get paid?

It'll come soon.

Stop worrying.

Those darn bastards.

If they make you work, they should pay you!

Move out of the way!

You scared me!

Mi Ja, how did that thing go?

Oh really? They said they'll find a nice place?

That's good.

Okay.

I need to move while I'm still young.

I don't know if it's okay to keep getting free kimchi from Ji Hyun.

Jung Wan.

Yeah?

Did you say something?

What are you thinking about to not even know that I'm talking?

Ji Hyun,

I'm not sure if its okay to keep taking free kimchi from her.

Because I just don't feel too comfortable.

What's there to feel uncomfortable about?

She said she made it for her in-laws.

I think Ji Hyun is really incredible.

Even after doing it for 10 years, doing housework still doesn't fit my personality.

But she's good at cooking, taking care of her husband,

and even educating her kids. There's nothing she can't do!

Although I don't really like it, I'll admit it.

Oww my head.

What's wrong? Headache?

I butted my head against some deceitful dirty fellow yesterday,

and now my head is ringing.

What does that mean?

What head butting?

It's an embarrassing story to tell...

I met him because he was the president of a film company,

but he took me to a hotel, even though he said we were going to a meeting.

I don't know if he took me as an easy target because I'm divorced.

He's a ridiculous bastard!

So you just headbutted him? You should've sued him.

This is a narrow turf you know.

I couldn't go that far because I was afraid it might work against me somehow.

You seem to have something good going on?

Your face is bright.

Oh really?

-What is it? -I'll tell you later.

Isn't that Ji Hyun?

Ji Hyun!

Oh, you're here?

Here, drink up.

I blended it myself so it's fresh.

Ah, this is really delicious!

So, what, you want to get lessons for Se Jin so you were cleaning that car?

There is a famous violinist named Jenny Jung who lives upstairs.

Since I cleaned her car for two months, if she has a conscience, she'll probably give us lessons.

Fairytale mother of Maengja has nothing on you.

For me, I couldn't go that far.

What is there you can't do? You have to support them in whatever way you can.

You know the era of the dragon spawning from a creek is gone now.

Did you get the interior redone?

Oh, now that you mention it, it does seem a little different.

The entrance earlier, too.

And the kitchen, too.

We completely redid everything.

Se Ra's coming, you know.

Oh yeah, you said Se Ra was coming.

I miss Se Ra.

Isn't that right, Sun Mi?

Hey Ji Hyun, if you were going to fix your house, you should've asked Sun Mi.

Sun Mi is the best in the country.

The best is the best, but not in an Ahjumma's opinion.

Sun Mi is still single, so she can't relate to ahjumma's.

She needs to have kids to know how to fix a house according to an ahjumma's needs.

When I saw from the TV, that actor Sun's house fixing wasn't that great, either.

Madame, I'll take Se Jin to his English tutoring and be back.

Yes, do that.

Se Jin, shouldn't you say a proper greeting to your Aunt?

Belly button greeting.

I will return.

Yes, our Se Jin is very cute.

Since the house is empty, I'm going to smoke one.

Just a minute.

Sun Mi, take it light, huh?

If it were you, would you not get mad?

Sorry!

What's this smell?

Did you spray some perfume?

With this construction, we changed the bathroom to a better one so it shouldn't smell, but just in case.

Next week when my husband goes on his business trip, let's go play, and have some drinks.

Oh, let's.

But Sun Mi, don't you have some good news?

Was it a year before last? After you broke up with that fund manager, it's been too long, hasn't it?

Sun Mi must have all kinds of men near her lining up to see her.

She's the CEO of the golden misses.

No!

Men these days like the younger women.

Men near the golden miss are either married men looking for a fling or wimpy younger guys.

What?

I wanted to introduce someone to Sun Mi, so

I asked around men near my husband,

and the men who are capable really dislike golden misses.

They say because they talk back, act arrogant, and so they're tiring.

Sun Mi, don't you think you should lower your standards a bit?

At this rate, you'll turn 50 and 60 while raising your dog.

I'm going to leave.

Already? You must be busy?

Then take some side dishes and kimchi.

I made some for my in-laws, and...

Don't you even think of another person's situation more and more?

Me, what?

What? Never mind.

I don't like talking to you.

Ji Hyun, I will leave, too.

What's with her?

I was only saying it because I was thinking of her.

This is why she can't get married.

You be the tolerant one, huh?

Speaking for Ji Hyun, she only said that because she cares for you.

Because she is so used to having everything, she can't seem to consider others' situations.

Since when did she live a good life?

Remember she was the poorest among us and she wanted to give up field travel?

My deceased parents paid for that field trip!

I know.

But as what they say about women's life, getting married right changes everything.

Still she thinks a world about you.

She said she bought Nabak-kimchi because you like it.

That's alright.

Hurt me and heal me?

Let's go. I have to go to the workroom.

Uh, wait, Sun Mi, I have something to ask you.

Something to ask? What is it?

I... Can I borrow some money?

Money?

You wrote a scenario a little while ago.

I got ripped off on the last work, and

because it's not easy getting a job.

I was wondering if I could borrow about $5,000.

I'm supposed to have a meeting with someone in movies.

If I get work, I'll pay you back as soon as I get contract fee.

And I'll give you more interest than a bank.

Jung Wan. -Oh?

There's something I learned when I started business,

Money transactions between people, it's not an easy thing.

Especially the money transactions between friends, it doesn't end good.

You lose people, and also money.

No!

I'll repay the money!

Have I ever said anything worthless to you?

It's not because I don't trust you.

It's because I can't trust money.

Instead, without looking for a payback,

I'll give you $500.

Don't be sad over this.

I'm doing this because I want us to be good friends until we die.

Let's go.

It's 50...

Use it for expenses for now, and

for your hospital fees. When I get a contract fee, I'll give you more.

If my back weren't so bad, I could have contributed with the hair sal..

Are you at it again? I don't want to hear it, so just stop.

Stop drinking so much beer. When Tae Keuk comes home, there'll be hell to pay.

What have I left to live for if not this?

- It's just one can. - Suit yourself.

How can I stop you?!

Tomorrow is your Mother-in-law's birthday, right?

- I think so. - Don't just drop Tae Keuk off but go with him.

Why would I go there?

Do you like living by yourself?

If you drop by prettily made up and say "I just came by to give my regard." then they wouldn't make you leave.

If you start to share meals together, it'll remind them of olden days,

and the story of getting back together would come up naturally.

Never mind. Who would welcome me there.

Come to think of it,

the fact that your hubby gave you Korean beef and red Ginsaeng

was to make an opportunity to invite you there.

Don't you think?

And, by the way...

Nah. I'll say it later. I'm off then.

Your Mother-in-law liked flowers, right?

Go visit with a bouquet or something.

You're going to go tomorrow, right?

Samgyedong Grandma's birthday.

Please pack them up nicely.

Since I will gift it to an elderly person for her birthday,

please pay close attention to the packaging.

- If there's additional fee for service, I'll pay it. - Okay.

- Is that the flowers you'll give to Samgyedong Grandma? - Yep.

How do I look today? Alright?

Totally pretty. Even more than any of the flowers in here.

Thank you, Son.

Is this the place?

Welcome. Have you made a reservation perhaps?

I believe the reservation may be under the name of Han Joon Mo.

It's this room here.

Enjoy yourselves.

Mother-in-law, hello. Hello, Father-in-law.

Happy birthday to you.

Thank... you.

How can you show your face here?

Oh, since it's Mother-in-law's birthday.

It felt a bit off just dropping Tae Keuk off then leave, so I wanted to greet you in person.

I guess Tae Keuk's Father isn't here yet?

Mother and Father, please greet.

Hello, I'm Ahn Kyung Joo.

Hello, didn't we meet the last time?

By the way, who is this person?

And the person who's asking, just who are you, Ajumma?

Who are you that you'd call me Ajumma?

Have you seen this pretty and young ajumma before? I'm still in my 20's, don't you know?

This is Tae Keuk.

Tae Keu...

Ah, Oppa's son? Come to think of it, you do look similar.

Since this kid said "mom" to this person,

I guess she's your ex?

Why would this ajumma be here? You didn't say she'd be here.

Tae Keuk's mom, won't you excuse us?

Mom! Tae Keuk, you stay here.

Unni!

What made you think you could come here?

I'm also regretting the fact that I came here.

When Oppa begged you to at least not to divorce, what did you say, Unni?

You said it's your great wish to divorce, didn't you?

You said you were sick and tired of anyone with "in-law" in their title.

Judging from your expression, it appears that Oppa hasn't been able to tell you,

but Oppa is getting re-married in near future.

Just how affluent and capable family she had to come from, she got Oppa promoted to a tenured professor in a flash,

and even bought him a car.

I bet you're glad that you're about to have a wealthy Sister-in-law.

I guess she can become the guarantor of loans and give you money any time you want.

Yes. I'm sooo glad.

So from now on, make sure you don't create such an awkward situation.

That's the only request I have.

Don't worry.

I'm sorry.

I'm a little late, aren't I?

Let's chat.

- Oppa, I'm in total mental breakdown. - What now?

Joon Mo Oppa's ex-wife came by.

- Ex-wife? - Yes! Because she came suddenly,the atmosphere became totally chilly.

In addition, Joon Mo Oppa's son is a total brat.

He called me Ajumma!

When you marry you'd become his mom, and then you'd naturally become ajumma.

Still, I don't like ajumma. I don't like mom either.

This is the marriage you've insisted on.

Mother and Father are still against it. Did you forget?

I didn't know this kind of thing would happen.

I'm so frustrated.

The thing called marriage is like that.

If you haven't even foreseen difficulties like this, don't even start it.

Otherwise, you have to return home like I did.

I do like Joon Mo Oppa, quite a lot.

Then, go in and greet in-laws with smile on your face. For the person you love.

Alright.

- Sejin, pay close attention to see if Noona is coming out.- Okay.

It's Noona!

Sera! Sera!

Gosh, look at my daughter!

You've been through a lot coming all this way.

Wow, my daughter became even prettier! I bet you're tired, eh?

Let's go. Mom will take the cart.

You must be the writer Yoo Jungwan. I'm sorry to be late.

Not at all. I also just arrived.

I had some family thing to take care of. I tried to rush but still ended up being late.

I'm Ahn Doyoung.

I see. Nice to meet you.

Have we... met before perhaps?

What?

I think this is our first acquaintance...

I guess it's because I have a common face.

No, that's not what I meant.

I read the scenario you sent me. It was enjoyable.

Really? The one I sent you is a dated one.

Ah, this is the latest I've written.

Please leave it with me. I'll peruse through it.

I don't know if you've heard already, but our company

is in the process of working on a project with director Oh Kyung Soo.

- You do know Director Oh, right? - Of course! I'm a fan.

He received TWO awards at the Cannes Film Festival.

We were searching for a writer who could work with Director Oh, and that's when

I came across your writing.

I was wondering how it'd be to have you two work together, which is why I asked you to come by.

It would be an honor for me.

I'm glad. You'd prefer to discuss things directly with Director Oh in person, right?

He's in a meeting with his producer. Let's go together. I'll introduce you.

- Mother-in-law, we're home. - You're here.

- Halmoni! - Goodness, my Se Ra.

- My pretty little baby. It wasn't too hard to be on the plane? - No.

Gosh, we're here too.

Mother, Se Ra is the only thing you can see.

It's because I'm so happy to see her.

Se Jin is here too.

- Halmoni! - Yes, my pup.

Son, do sit down.

I have to return to work.

Is that right? How hard must you work...

It's alright. I'll see you later, Honey.

It'll be nice to screen a movie.

Planning on seeing a movie the two of you?

A director that works with a movie production company I invested in

won awards at Cannes Film Festival.

For the dual purpose of celebrate the win, they'll screen the movie and have a goodwill gathering as well.

Since she loves movies, I thought we'd go together.

Okay. A married couple going to events together looks good.

Then, I'm off. You needn't come to see me off.

Take care!

Daughter-in-law, will you join me in the kitchen to get tea and cookie set up?

- Are you trying to rub-in the fact that I'm alone? - Pardon?

Why do you follow the man to his work?!

- That's not it... - Don't you talk back to me.

This is how you can notice a person from a family of unknown origin.

You should feel beholden for having your whole family taken care of, thanks to snatching up a wealthy man,

where do you get off talking back to an elder while she's talking?

I'm at fault.

Today is Boocheondaek's day off. Prepare dinner for Se Ra and Se Jin, then

make Kimchi I need to take over to the Orphanage.

I've put marinated lettuce in the tub.

Yes, ma'am.

Halmoni, I'm thirsty.

Aigoo, my puppy.

I'll get you some water.

You're thirsty, huh?

Here we go.

What is it? You said you were busy, so what gives?

Are you going to keep on seeing the woman who said she'll fix your house?

Am I nuts to keep meeting that kind of old hag?

How old is she?

She's the same age as us. A total granmps.

That makes sense. Men at 39 and women at 39 are in a different league all together.

I gave her few dates and she fixed my home up without having been told.

All the furniture and down to decorative items, she supplied it using the sponsorship stuff.

Should I date her too? My home needs fixing too!

Try it. She's dying to get married, so gets completely crazed over any men.

Starting from few days ago, I started to not pick up her calls.

Hey, she'd be sensible enough to back off on her own at her age, right?

Of course. How would she covet you at her age?!

She'll back off on her own if she has conscience.

There's nobody here.

They must have left to get something to eat.

I'll call them, so please have a seat first.

Why aren't they answering?

Why don't you stop acting.

Sorry? -I didn't think of you that way but your're too much.

Do I seem that easy to you?

What are you saying?

Have I done anything out of line?

Out of line?

Of course it's out of line!

Bringing a person you met for the first time to a hotel room. If that's not out of line, what is?

I guess not.

I guess it'll depend on one's perspective.

I don't know what you're saying

Stop it there.

Did you hear from somewhere that I'm a divorcee?

Did you think a divorcee will just follow you anywhere just because you're a man?

I may be be having a hard time!

But I don't want to go this far to work.

Writer Yoon.

Why?! Ajumma rejecting you is unbelievable?

I think you are misunderstanding something.

Misunderstanding?

You said you'd setup a meeting with Director Oh Kyung Soo for me, right?

Where is Director Oh?

If Director Oh comes here, I'll burn my hand.

Or should I dance naked or something?

Are you by chance talking about me just now?

You came.

We've been to the rehearsal.

You know the Cannes Film Festival event.

PD Park also wanted to see, so we both went and came back.

What kind of situation is this anyway?

Yeah. What is it?

What is it that we just heard.

Didn't you say you were going to bring another writer?

I think there was some misunderstanding.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to nuts!

SunMee. What will I do?

Hello, please come in towards the front.

Aren't I really a fool?

What am I doing at this age?

Anyone could've mistaken the situation.

Then what's going to happen with the movie?

What else? I missed the chance.

After acting like a total idiot, who would want to work together?

Sorry, all I'm doing is giving you griefs about my life.

Why do I cry so much as I get older?

You cried a lot even back in high school, and you smiled a lot, too.

Did I?

I envy you.

Even if I want to cry, because of this dumb pride of mine,

I can't cry in front of people.

Is something the matter?

It's strange that you called me to have drinks, too.

Just because... getting older is so upsetting.

What are you talking about?

You're pretty and successful.

What do you mean pretty? I'm just decent for my age is all.

I only feel envious of you.

TaeKeuk's dad is getting remarried.

Remarriage?

With a young and really rich girl.

He's pretty lucky.

Without even knowing that, I went to his mother's birthday party with a bouquet.

Have you by chance had thoughts of getting back with him?

I thought about it because things got so tough.

I have no idea what I did today.

But you still have TaeKeuk.

Next year I'll be 40.

How it feels to be at the final stage of being able to conceive and have a baby, you don't know, right?

What's so good about just having kids?

When I don't even have confidence to raise well.

Speaking of myself, I'll be 40 in a flash... I'm so pathetic.

Because I'm a total nothing.

Is it because of money?

You want me to lend you some?

No. You're right.

It wouldn't be right to lose a friend because of money transactions.

I think JiWon is really smart.

She married a rich guy when she was young and pretty; she's living so well now.

That's right.

In laws are rich. A good husband. And the kids are all good.

Why does she have so much blessings?

Sora. I'll be back.

You must be tired so sleep early.

In front of me, you can act like this.

In front of dad, be careful. He doesn't know anything.

Aged so much.

I like you so very much.

You could not imagine how much.

Emptied out my tank. So, I'll have another.

Please give me one more round.

You're drunk. Let's stop drinking.

I already paid.

No. I'm not drunk at all.

Just one more, okay?

Come on. I said one more .

I'll treat you to second round.

I have to go office very early tomorrow.

You really can't?

I'm sorry. Let's stop here tonight.

Okay. I'll go.

I'll get you a taxi. Let's go toward the main street.

No, I can go by myself.

Thanks for everything today.

Its okay. -I'll call you.

Go ahead.

If I'm not your happiness. I'll stop here.

I hope the guy you're meeting now will be your happiness.

It's my son.

My son!

Your mom is on her way.

Okay. I love you!

Aishh. I should be going home.

Place where my son waits for me!

Sunbaenim, we'll escort you to the station for a little bit.

Why?

What should I do? I think I have to go back to the office.

Then go.

I'm sorry. You watch and then go.

Okay. Don't be too late.

I was going to introduce you to the movie folks after it's over, but I guess not.

I'll introduce you next time.

Okay.

Hey...

What's wrong? Did something happen?

What in the world happened?

What's the matter?

Taxi! Taxi!

Aish! You just pass? Taxi!

Taxi, here! Hey, taxi!

Hey, no!

Ah. What the!

Ah, I---

Call from 010-5045-6087

Aish, you are too much.

I've got to go.

I came out first because I had an appointment.

If you have something to ask me, then...

I'm sorry, but I'll call you later.

Hey look here. You...

You know you can't... right?

Let's go.

Driver, aren't you going to ask me where I'm going?

Why aren't you asking me where I'm heading to?

I got it, customer.

Where are you heading to?

Well...

I...

want to go to twenty years ago.

Pardon?

If twenty years ago isn't possible,

then to ten years ago.

I want to go back to that time.

At age 39, the things that came to find us are

the urgency that our lives as women may end,

the fear that love we worked so hard to keep may break,

and only the deep loneliness that we couldn't tell anyone.

That was us facing 40 years of age.

This is my room.

What happened?

Did you wake up? Drink this.

Mom, how did I get here?

I remember vaguely getting on a taxi, but

I don't remember anything after.

Son-in-law Han piggy-backed you here.

I think you came here in Son-in-law Han's car.

What!?

That's strange.

That couldn't have happened.

What do you mean?

How did it go?

When you saw your Mother-in-law, was everyone happy?

By chance... did you talk about getting back together and have a drink with him?

Why did this ahjumma come?

Tae Keuk's mother, would you go out?

I was humiliated because of you!

Han Joon-Mo is getting remarried!

Son-in-law Han is getting remarried?

Yeah!

And that, to a young virgin from a filthy rich family!

The car was bought by that girl, too, and he became a professor with her help!

Oh my world.

I can't live because of you!!

How embarrassing.

That human.

What happened yesterday?

Why did you piggy-back me home?

Do you not remember anything at all?

Did you blackout again after drinking?

I called you because I was worried, and some man answered.

When I went there, it was Director Oh Kyung-Soo.

And you were sleeping in the back of his car.

What!? Director Oh Kyung Soo?

The Director Oh Kyung Soo that won the awards at the Cannes Film Festival?

Yeah. Weren't you with him?

Do you still not remember?

Aish.. let's stop talking about this.

That's not the important thing right now.

About you remarrying... when were you planning to tell me?

Sorry, I was going to tell you,

but I didn't know how to bring it up.

I wanted you to meet Tae Hyun first then I was going to tell you later.

When is "later"?

After making me into a complete fool, when?

I'm sorry.

I met her when I went to Canada for a seminar.

I was helping her after she was involved in a car accident and...

Forget it.

Anyway, you're quite capable,

seeing that a pretty young daughter of a rich family is already giving you great support.

Things are going well for you, too.

Aren't you working with Director Oh Kyung Soo?

You don't need to know.

I have to go because I have a meeting.

I'm sorry to you.

But the one who wanted the divorce was you.

I have to find work soon.

I made the CEO out to be a scum, and

treated the Director as a taxi driver.

Drinking really is my enemy.

Did you go buy coffee?

We have a lot of tasty things at home, too.

I... did all the paperwork for you to go to school.

You will be starting next week after some rest.

Should I make something? Is there anything you want to eat?

Okay. When you're craving something, tell me.

We're going to visit my family in the evening, is that okay?

I don't know!

Are you going to keep doing this to me?

Don't you know that I'm doing this because I care about you?

I know... that your motherly instinct is unreal.

I'm so relieved that you like it.

It's not that I just like it, I'm ecstatic.

If I meet people who want their houses fixed, I'll spread a lot of good words for you.

Thank you.

Then we'll start construction soon, right? I'll put my trust in you, Manager Kim.

Please do, you don't need to worry about that. Please go ahead.

- Work hard. - Yes.

Am I crazy? To keep meeting that old woman?

I started not answering because I'm busy.

She is crazy about getting married, so any man...

At that age, she should get the hint and get lost...

She's a total granny.

President. Have some tea.

Today you're skin looks so great.

Girls Generation has nothing on you.

Are you kidding me right now?

I'm just saying how I'm feeling.

I don't want to hear it. The Ilsan public projects are going well, right?

I'm going to escort a client there tomorrow.

Of course. No need to worry.

I'm going to Ilsan right now.

And Yoon Suk is already there.

Ah, that's right, I was able to get the lamp you mentioned last time.

You said that you had someone to give it to.

Why are you so surprised?

You look like someone who didn't want to see me again.

What are you saying? Not see you again?

You're expression is like that. And you don't call.

I was busy. What's wrong, without getting in touch?

Didn't you say it would be nice to have a lamp in the living room?

The one I ordered came in, so I brought it by.

It seems fine. But what to do?

After I get ready, I have to leave right away.

No need to worry.

I, too, am just going to take care of business, and leave right away.

What are you doing right now? What are you doing?

Hey, what are you doing? Are you crazy?

Yeah! I've gone crazy.

You dated me just to renovate your house, is there any woman who wouldn't go crazy?

You called me a Granny, didn't you?

Get a taste of this Granny!

This!

Hey hey!

Hey! Don't be like this.

Just because I do this, you wouldn't be childishly connecting our relationship with work, would you?

I would like to believe you are not that low.

Grandma, are you okay?

Even if I'm achy, I have to come out once in a while, or else I'll feel to cooped up I can't stand it.

It's because you heard about my dad's remarriage, isn't it?

I guess it is.

The son-in-law that I considered like a son,

is becoming a stranger, so I don't feel good.

The...lady said it was cheap here, and she was right.

It's just far, but there's a lot of merchandise.

Let's buy my mom some beer.

But you don't like mom drinking alcohol.

I want to let her have one can a day.

She enjoys it so much, we can't stop her from drinking completely.

She has to have at least that for fun.

My kind little puppy.

Alright, let's buy the detergent, then go buy the beer too.

Excuse me, do you have anything smaller than this?

Excuse me!

What am I going to do?

What a strange woman.

When a customer is calling her.

But she looks a lot like Mom from the back.

How could she?

Mom is at a meeting.

What are you doing right now?

I'm sorry,

but I have a situation, so I'll stay like this just for a moment.

Hurry up and go to your spot and keep doing what you were doing!

Please, I'll just be like this for a moment!

Really, are you going to be like this?

Mom?

Why are you here?

And what are those clothes?

So then, writing the script was all a lie.

And you've been working part-time at the mart this whole time?

That's how it turned out.

Son-in-law Han is getting remarried to a rich family's daughter,

and you, what is this?

I've been bragging when I go out that you're a writer,

but you've been working at the mart getting that abuse.

Oh...my poor life!!

Stop!

Do I have to follow this?!

I should go somewhere and die

I was following you because you're my child, but

this is ridiculous!

Oh no...

Ow!

My back.

Please just stop!

Because you're stressing yourself, it only hurts your waist.

I'll pound it for you, where?

Ow, ow, ow!

Oh, it's Tae Geuk's homeroom teacher.

Really?

Did the teacher say something was wrong?

I don't know.

Yes, teacher, hello!

Yes?

My Tae Geuk?

Tae Keuk was selected to represent the school and go to a science exhibition at Sweden.

All expenses will be paid by the department of education, and

even though he would only have to put up a nominal amount, but

he said he didn't want to go.

I think that perhaps he didn't want to burden his mother,

is there anything going on at home?

Son.

Mom.

What are you doing here?

Just...

You were disappointed after seeing me working at the mart, weren't you?

That's a relief.

I was so afraid that you might have been disappointed, because I lied to you.

But It's really fun working at the mart for me.

You know too, right... that there is no dishonorable occupation.

I wasn't disappointed in you, Mom, so don't worry.

I just

worry that it will be too hard for you.

Son, you know that you're the reason why I live, right?

My pretty little puppy.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

No.

what do you have to be sorry for?

I'm just sorry for everything.

And I'm thankful for everything.

Mi Ja, what's going on?

President Kim did?

Oh, how thankful!

He helped getting the loan, and now he'll get me a beauty salon, too?

The way he was speaking, I thought he was so nice and trustworthy, but

how wonderful!

Ask him to find out quickly.

My situation is a bit urgent.

Everyone is here even Se Ra, but this place is so not up to par...

It's nice here, what?

I was thinking about this meat, too.

Then please come often.

Thanks to you, we're living like this.

I'll serve you everyday.

What do you mean, thanks to me?

Father-in-law, I'll pour you a glass.

Thank you.

Father, take it easy.

Alright.

I'm just happy because it's been so long since we all gathered together.

Please have some more.

If not on a day like today, when will you be able to?

But because of us, Yoo Kyung, you missed your study academy today.

It's okay for one day.

She was so happy to have Se Ra coming,

don't worry about it.

Well,

Yoo Kyung is first place all the time anyway.

Ah, Se Ra, did you have lots of friends in America?

A few.

Oh, that's right, didn't you post on Twitter that you had a boyfriend?

Did you?

Did our Se Ra have a boyfriend?

She's only fifteen, what do you mean a boyfriend?

Why? These days even elementary school kids couple up.

It was a co-ed school, so of course she would have had a boyfriend. Right?

Unni, if your finished eating, let's go play in your room.

Okay, we'll go upstairs.

You wanted to go to my room and play, why did you come to the roof?

I'm feeling cranky.

Why? Did something happen?

Unni,

could I stay here for a few days?

What about school?

I'm starting next week.

Then do whatever you want.

But you'll probably be uncomfortable sharing my room with me.

It's okay.

As long as I don't have to see my mom.

Why?

Did you have a fight with Aunt?

If I could fight, that would be great.

My mom is really good at making a person go crazy.

Why are you talking like that?

Father, please stop drinking.

Why? I'm not drunk at all.

I'm really not drunk.

I know you're not drunk,

but it's good for your health to stop.

I'm sorry, Ji Hyun.

What? -I'm sorry.

Oh, you poor thing.

He always does this when he drinks these days.

Why am I a poor thing?

Yes, Father.

I treat her so well!

I'm sorry to you, too.

I'm sorry.

What in the world are you so sorry about?

What am I sorry for?

I'm sorry for a lot of things.

What I'm sorry for is...

Father is a bit too drunk.

Father, let's get some fresh air.

Hey!

Let's go out for a little bit.

I'm fine.

Noona, we'll be back.

I'm fine!

Hey.

Father, why are you doing this again?

This is why I told you not to drink a lot.

It's because I'm sorry to Ji Hyun!

She broke up with Do Hyun because of us.

What are you going to do if someone hears you?

Stop drinking and go upstairs to sleep.

Okay.

Okay, I'll go.

Should I make you ddukbokki when we get home?

Yea, with Jjolmyun noodles.

With an egg, too?

Yeah?

Just a second.

Hello?

Hello, this is An Do Young.

Yes?

CEO An Do Young?

Ah, hello.

For what reason...

I was hoping we could meet.

How is tomorrow?

I was hoping I could meet you at around 2:00 at the office.

Yes, I see.

What is it? Is it bad news?

No,

let's go.

preview

What happened last time must have shocked you.

We had drama from our first meeting, but wouldn't it all go well?

This is why the family without foundation is noticed.

Just how do you run the household,

Look at the state of this refrigerator?

I feel I did a lot of wrong things last night...

What do you mean you did wrong things? A lot, a whole lot, you did.

This is the first time since my husband's business trip two months ago when we partied.

Aigoo, it's refreshing.

These ahjummas who apparently look 40, what do they think they're doing here?

They should act their age.

What did you just say?

You don't think you're going to age?

What is this talk behind our backs?

Manager Kim, you're prettier in person than on TV.

- I'm a fan - They say affairs between the directors and actresses are mostly wrong.

How about you, Director?

He came to our house, because it was a matter of a wealthy family.

CEO An, let me introduce you to my wife.

- Mom, - What is this picture?

Look, what are we going to do with this kid?

What are you talking about?
