Episode 5

Man, I hate waking up just to pee...

What are you all standing around for?

There's someone I want to marry, Father.

Who's that talking?

Father, please give me your permission.

We're still in mourning.

I'm aware.

Then why do you...

I want to get married.

We'll discuss it after the third year of the funeral.

I can't wait that long, Father.

Nothing will change in the meanwhile, right?

I can't waste 3 years at this point of my life.

Do you think of this mourning period as a waste?

Is Dad asking for permission to get married? This is crazy!

Dad.

Don't.

Has he gone senile?

I know it's against my filial duties.

If you know, then why are you doing this?

Times have changed, Father.

People get married regardless of the mourning period.

Fine, then we'll talk about this next year.

I won't insist on 3 years. Then you have no complaints, right?

I can't wait that long. Even a month is too long.

I know it's not proper to say this, but I have to consider my age.

I want to be with the person I love for the time I have left.

Now I know why your kids are so pathetic.

Is that Dad talking to Grandpa? What is he thinking?

I asked you to be quiet.

What are you all doing?

Dad wants to get married.

Are you crazy?

Exactly! Doesn't it sound crazy?

What's wrong with your brother?

Be quiet, all of you.

Leave my room.

Father.

Don't shame your children.

I've lived my life so as not to shame my children thus far.

Is that what you're doing right now?

But she means a lot to me.

You're not in your 20's or anything...

That's exactly why I'm in a rush.

If I were in my 20's, I could wait for years.

But I'm not. I'm only getting older.

What family is she from?

I can't let you get married right now,

but at least I'll permit an engagement.

Tell me, what family is she from?

Why can't you tell me?

She's someone you know.

She's someone I know?

Are you saying that this woman is someone I know?

Why can't you tell me?

It's Director Lee Young-in.

Who?

She's a company employee...

Did he just say Director Lee Young-in?

Who's Lee Young-in? Is she young?

Dad's really gone out of his mind!

Then that concludes everything.

Forget what I said about the engagement.

Father.

Leave.

I'll pretend I never heard that.

I have to marry her.

Do you mean to sever your ties with me?

Dad. That's ridiculous.

What's wrong with you?

It's Director Lee Young-in!

She's not fit to be our mother!

Just who is this Director Lee Young-in?

Suk-ho.

Who's this girl that you're in love with?

I have to change, Aunt Joo-jeong.

Have you been seeing her for a long time?

I have to...

How long?

It's the end of the world! A sissy like you, seeing a girl?

Yes, I'm seeing a girl, okay?

You must really love her to do this during the mourning period.

Is she pretty? Is this her first marriage?

You know the head housewife has to have a clean slate.

How could he think of marrying Director Lee?

What's so bad about her? She's someone Dad loves.

You don't just marry someone because of love.

But Dad chose her to be his wife.

You have no idea what kind of tramp she is.

Watch what you say.

She's gotten divorced three times already!

I heard one of her husbands was a foreigner.

She blabbered about her past at the interview with Grandpa.

When he asked her if she wasn't married, she said

I get married from time to time.

Watch what you say!

She's of a higher rank than you. And she's someone Dad loves.

Is that woman fit to be our mother?

Could she be pregnant?

Isn't it strange that Dad's rushing the marriage?

Why else would he be pushing Grandpa so much?

Don't run your mouth like that. Is that the type of person Dad is?

I suppose you're right. Unless Dad's really gone senile.

Then what is it? Does he really love her? Why?

What do you mean why?

Why a woman like that?

I told you to watch your mouth!

I know you're getting mad at me because you don't like her.

Would you please be quiet, Tae young?

Everyone in this family's depressed

because they don't say what they really want to.

I'm running my mouth so I don't end up like you.

Who's depressed?

Everyone in this family except for Grandma Joo-jeong and me.

Why aren't you sleeping?

How can I sleep after hearing something so shocking?

I've worked on TV shows that deal with shocking events,

but your dad seeing a girl tops everything.

Your dad, of all people, seeing a girl?

He could've won an award for being a single dad.

There's no such award.

Exactly, I didn't know why he didn't just get married again.

Your dad probably hasn't even held a woman's hand

since your mom died.

It's just too much to take in!

Just little bit at a time.

You're so indifferent. This doesn't bother you?

I shouldn't meddle in my elders' affairs, right?

Then the only people who can meddle are Man-gi and me, right?

I can be as nosy as I want, right?

Is this funny to you?

It's even better than when Soo-young was cheated on.

You're so twisted.

Hey, Dan-ah.

Yes?

From what I can tell, this woman is something else.

Suk-ho didn't reply when I asked if this were her first marriage.

It's ridiculous that he'd marry a virgin at his age,

but the elders wouldn't have it any other way.

Pretend you're sleeping.

Okay.

Should I turn off the lights?

Yes.

You're up already?

I've got to see this.

Sorry?

Nothing.

Nothing happened?

Man gi let Suk-ho pour the offering drink?

Hush.

Be quiet.

Yes, Oppa.

But I can feel the tension in the air.

Let's go.

Let's go, Aunt Dan-ah.

I'll take him.

Come on! A real man shouldn't hold grudges, you know?

Good for you, Mr. Real Man.

I'm so ashamed to face you.

I shouldn't have troubled you kids like this...

It's your life, Dad.

Lee Young-in? Over my dead body.

Call her my mom?

Maybe if it were Lee Hyo-ri, I'd consider it.

Darn it...

I swear it was a yellow light.

I swear I saw you go through a red light.

Driver's license, please.

Isn't the point of directing traffic to ease congestion?

You're right.

Then what?

You caused a disruption in the flow of traffic.

We regulate tailing because it causes congestion.

What a blabbermouth.

Excuse me?

You're purposely picking on me, right?

It's you again.

Hello, did you break the law again?

I'm just trying to help.

Sorry?

I'm contributing to the society by paying fines.

I see.

You have a sense of humor.

People normally just scream and shout.

We appreciate you cooperating with humor.

So give me an award. Hurry up!

I'm working on it!

Hey.

Yes?

You're interested in me, right?

You two know each other?

I bet you let other people slide.

I don't!

Don't lie.

I'm handsome, tough looking, have a sense of humor.

But I'm sorry...

Did you eat poison for breakfast?

Sorry, but you're not my type!

You're really not interested?

What am l, crazy?

That hurts!

You looked a little weary, so I made some ginseng tea.

Please have a seat.

Drink it before it gets cold.

Sam-wol.

Yes, Mr. Chairman?

I don't think I'm a good role model for my family.

Judging from how my children are behaving.

That's not true.

My son's asking to get married during the mourning period.

I must've been a pathetic father for him to act like that.

What don't you like about the girl President Ha loves?

If she were someone you approved of,

you wouldn't feel so bad about this.

I can't accept someone like her in this family.

I feel bad for President Ha.

It's been 23 years since his wife passed away,

and he finally found someone...

But he's not going to disobey you, so don't feel so bad.

What brings you here, Director Ha?

Are you busy?

As usual.

Do you want some tea?

No, my stomach's upset.

Are you here to talk to me?

My dad said some weird things last night.

He said he was seeing you, Director Lee.

Romance in the workplace isn't proper, don't you think?

You're not just regular employees.

You're both executives, and old at that.

So what?

Sorry?

What are you trying to say?

Just one thing.

Behave yourself for the sake of the company,

you should call it quits before the rumor mill gets going.

Don't you think you're out of line, Director Ha?

Sorry?

Isn't it improper for someone of your background

to meddle in your elders' affairs?

I tend to taint my family's honor.

Then you should behave yourself.

I suppose you're not serious about this, are you?

To treat the son of your possible future husband like this?

Isn't the same true for you?

Should you treat your possible future mother like this?

I suppose you're not very fond of me.

You're very keen. I don't need to talk so much.

You don't need to tell me what I am or not.

I don't intend to take my relationship

with President Ha any further, so please don't bother me again.

Not take this relationship further?

But you're satisfied with where you are, right?

I want closure with President Ha,

but he's been begging me that I'm reconsidering it.

I know a lot about relationships.

But they never work when they're one sided.

Maybe you're playing hard to get.

Women always try to make men want more, right?

You're a real pro.

I don't have to use cheap tricks to get a man.

Am I a little too old to sound so self confident?

It's expected from a woman with a colorful past.

So don't push my buttons.

I'm a proud person, so I won't just take an insult.

I'm busy, so would you please leave?

I'd never want to be your mother, you punk.

Professor.

I said I have a lecture.

If you're doing this to get me to pay more...

You're quite a rude person.

I'll pay you the amount you want for it.

I can't bargain about something that isn't even mine.

But didn't you purchase it from a descendant of the family?

I'm only holding onto it. They'll come to claim it sometime.

Then why did you pay them for it?

I don't have to tell you the details.

I heard your son's struggling.

He's trying to start fresh after several business failures,

but he has bad credit and can't get a loan.

Do you go around looking for dirt on people?

Wouldn't it help you to sell the genealogy to me?

I wouldn't sell another family's genealogy for my son's sake.

I heard he tried to commit suicide recently.

What a cruel father you are.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

That's good.

Your teammates will take on the presentation,

so you can work on the report instead, okay?

Yes.

Next time...

I'm sorry.

I was going to tell you not to scare me again...

Yes, Gang-suk.

I'm in the professor's room.

Okay, I'll come out.

Your brother must be here. You can go.

You know that guy bothering the Professor for the genealogy?

He's such a rude punk.

What happened?

He even threatened the professor.

Professor Noh's son's been struggling with business failures.

So the professor pulled his retirement fund

and even sold his house for his son.

That guy somehow found out

and asked the professor to sell him the genealogy.

When the professor said no, that jerk mentioned about

his son's attempted suicide and called him a cruel father.

I told you to take a few days off.

I'm free right now. You want to go shopping?

I'll buy you some clothes.

I can buy you anything you want, Hye-job.

I don't want anything.

You should want a lot of things at your age.

But I don't.

Then let's go eat.

I already ate.

What are you talking about? It's not even lunchtime yet.

Let's go, Hye job. I'll buy you food.

No.

It's you again.

I need to talk to you.

Would you excuse us, Hye-joo?

See you at home, Hye joo.

What is it? Is something wrong with Hye joo?

Don't do that to Professor Noh.

What are you talking about?

He's old and frail. Don't bother him like that.

It's none of your business.

He's my beloved teacher.

He tells you little things like that?

Maybe you two are closer than you seem.

You act like you're polite, but this is your natural response.

This is the second time.

I won't let it go if you slap me again.

I don't care that you're rude to me,

but don't be rude to Professor Noh.

Look at you trembling. Maybe I was right earlier.

Did you eat lunch yet?

Oh, Hello.

You're also dating your students?

If you date your students,

it's not much of a stretch to date an old professor.

What are you talking about? Who's dating whom?

Don't. He's not worth it.

But he's running his mouth!

I said he's not worth it.

Should a noble lady be seeing so many guys?

What is that punk saying?

Please, just let him go.

He's not worth it.

Did that punk come here for his sister again?

I don't know why I do that.

Do what?

I've slapped him twice already.

Really? You slapped him?

Really?

No way.

Whenever I see him, I feel bothered...

I have to hold back... I've never done that before...

I can't hold back when it comes to him.

He just really irks people.

I was just going to leave, but l wanted to see you one last time.

Where are you headed to?

To the United States to study English.

I was very much into education before I married you.

It's been years,

but I'm going to focus on studying for a while.

You'll do very well.

You were never once attracted to me, were you?

But I was. From the time I first met you.

At first I wondered if I could possibly marry a younger guy,

but after I saw you, I changed my mind.

Although you were 4 years younger...

You were always a man to me.

The first 23 years of our marriage,

whenever I heard you from the kitchen, my heart trembled.

You were someone I could rely on.

Whenever I came home, I could count on you to be there.

I wasn't your comrade in war. I was your wife.

That's why I expected your love

and was frustrated when I didn't get it.

I'm really sorry about what I did.

I hope you find someone to care about.

And I hope she's indifferent to you.

That'll be my revenge.

At 10:30, the boarding for Los Angeles...

I have to go.

Take care. Let me know if you need my help.

I won't need to do that.

Grandpa gave me a lot of allowance.

I'm going.

Change your ways, Soo young.

I'll try hard to forget you, but for the time being,

whenever I think of you, I'll pray...

that you'll open up your heart.

Miss Oh Jin ah, you're fired.

But the bride said she forgot her hat...

But you can't take the plane tickets!

She was talking so much and...

I don't want to hear your excuses.

Pick up your pay from the accounting department.

She has serious malnutrition and dehydration.

We don't have any emergency rooms open right now.

When she wakes up, you can take her home.

As long as she eats well, she'll be fine.

Where...?

This is a hospital. You collapsed in front of my car.

I'm sorry.

I'll pay for your hospital bill. So get yourself something to eat.

Have we...

met somewhere before?

It's your loss if you starve over a break up.

At the police station...?

Aren't you the person who said there's no such thing as love?

What brings the elder from Pyeongchon here?

I have no idea.

You could've asked me to come down to Pyeongchon.

I'm an old man with nothing better to do.

Thank you for the ginseng you sent me.

Why do you keep sending such valuable gifts?

Anyway, I'm here for...

He's Mr. Joong-kyung's grandson.

He'll be 43 this year.

He lost his wife at a young age,

and has one daughter entering college next year.

He's a faculty member at a nearby university.

He's a well mannered person.

I see.

How about we set him up with Joo-jeong?

My sister isn't worthy to be his partner, I fear.

You never know.

I think it's okay to have them meet at least once...

Joo-jeong, please save me!

You're crazy!

If you don't help me, then I'll really have to get married.

Just get married then.

Joo-jeong!

You have no idea how Teun-shil is!

Her name is Teun-shil?

That was her nickname. I don't know her real name.

Good for you.

Just marry her and have lots of kids.

My grandma and mom are forcing me to,

but I really don't like her.

I don't think you're in a position to be picky.

Why's that?

You're not really all that.

So she's twice my size. That's okay.

But she used to throw me around until I was 10.

I still have nightmares about it.

She sounds like she's fit. She owns a fish market, right?

Joo-jeong, all you have to do is go there with me.

Why do I have to go to your mom's 70th birthday party?

I'll tell them I'll marry you later.

All you have to do is smile every so often.

What am l, crazy or something?

I just need to tell them I have someone, that's all.

Then who are you going to take next year?

I'll tell them that you went on a business trip overseas,

and that I have to wait about 3 years.

Then they won't force me to marry Teun-shil.

I just need to show them that I have someone.

Byung-do?

Yes?

I don't want to say I'm getting married to you, even as a joke.

I'll buy you liquor for a whole year.

Okay, 2 years, with a Ballantine from time to time.

Not even a pool filled with Ballantine would make me do it.

We'll swim in there!

Why are you here alone? Come in.

They're not here yet?

We need a minute. Yes.

The Marketing plan's set, why did you ask to meet me here?

I thought abalone soup would be good for your appetite.

You tricked me?

Abalone porridge's okay, right?

You like mushroom fries?

You're starting to irritate me.

Just eat first.

I'm going.

I told my father that...

I wanted to marry you.

And?

He won't allow it during the mourning period.

He thought me qualified to be his daughter in law?

Did he say I'm qualified to be the head housewife of the esteemed Ha family?

I'll convince him.

Why should I set my pride aside and marry you?

Because you love me.

You can at least do that much if you love me, right?

Who? Me? Love you?

Have I ever said that?

I know it without you telling me.

I've never told you that I loved you because I don't.

Then it's just me in love with you, but you don't mind that.

Suk-ho, this isn't going anywhere.

I don't want to get married...

But we don't have a choice.

I don't mind our relationship as it is now.

As long as I'm with you, I'm okay.

But we can't have a child and say that, right?

I'm not having this baby.

Young-in.

Director Ha told me to stop seeing you

before rumors start to spread. He said we should act our age.

He's right.

Your son is right. So don't call me out again like this.

You're slowly wearing me out.

I had Director Lee say that she'll stop seeing Dad.

Why would you do something so rude?

Soo young, should I act like I don't care about Dad's life?

It's his life. He should make his own decisions.

It drives me crazy when you act so indifferent.

Is that your idea of a family? A family that doesn't care?

Since when did you care about our family that much?

I've messed up and shamed my family many times,

but at least I'm not indifferent to them like you are.

It's not a surprise that Young-hee cheated on you.

Why don't you hit me? Go ahead, hit me.

I know you want to.

Let's drop it.

Why do you hole up?

Why do you put up with me talking about Young-hee?

Welcome home.

Dad.

How dare you!

Dad.

How dare you meddle in my affairs!

Soo young.

Please just talk it out.

Let go of me!

You know Tae young.

I don't say anything because I don't care about your life.

But Tae young's always looking out for our family.

That's why he did that.

That's not something to beat him up about.

I suppose you also don't like Director Lee.

Otherwise, you'd never do this.

I really don't care who you marry.

What's wrong with you?

You didn't have to go that far.

You know I deserved a beating, what I did was really rude.

So why'd you do that?

You know something?

Dad's never once hit me before.

What?

So you're upset about not being beaten?

You wouldn't know, but you need a lot of willpower to

stand up to a beating.

I have a lot of experience in this...

Where are you going?

I'll prepare dinner.

I'm not hungry.

Then how about a snack?

I said I'm not hungry.

I'm sorry, I'm just not hungry right now.

Dad? Yeah.

What does Director Lee think of marriage?

As long as you two insist on the marriage, Grandpa will allow it.

Good night.

What are you doing here?

Mom's worried about you. Let's go.

You'll have another field trip next year, right?

What if there's another memorial service next year?

Let's just hope that won't happen.

How come Tae-young can go on the field trip, but I can't?

You're the firstborn son.

Soo young, first sons have the burden of carrying on

family responsibilities.

As the descendants of the main family,

we have more duties than others.

Let's go to sleep, so we can head out to the family house early tomorrow.

Dad.

Yes?

Dad...

My heart always feels stuffy. Even when I take a deep breath.

I know.

I feel like that too.

When will I stop feeling like this?

I really can't wait to feel better.

I don't really know.

I still feel like that to this age.

Dad, if I keep feeling like this, I'm going to run away.

So don't look for me, please?

Okay,

I won't look for you. Run away as far as you can.

Hye joo?

Get a hold of Hye joo!

What's all that ruckus?

What happened?

She's fussing over the trash in her room that I threw away.

I already told your mother that Hye-joo's been collecting them...

Why the heck would you treasure trash?

That brat! Hye joo!

...

Hye joo!

What are you going to do?

I have to find them. I'll find them.

Hold on. I'll get my car.

Just what does he mean to you...?

It's been 2 hours. We can't find them, Hye joo.

I need to find them. I have to find them. Hye joo!

How long are you going to keep this up?

Just start collecting them again.

Okay, Hye joo?

Honey, don't drink on an empty stomach.

Have some food... No.

Then at least drink slower...

What the heck is her problem? What haven't we done for her?

She's always been particular ever since she was little...

And why is she so darn particular?

Why can't she just be normal?

At least we put her in college.

We hired the best tutors to send her to college,

but she's still acting like a little brat!

We won't even be able to find a marriage partner for her!

She looks good, she's educated, and she has our estate.

I wouldn't worry about that.

I'm worried that she'll find a guy who's after our fortune!

She'll get better.

I doubt that when she goes crazy over paper cups!

They're here.

What have I done wrong to have a daughter like that...

Stop drinking so much!

I can't!

I told you not to eat sparrows when you were with Hye joo.

Don't bring that up!

I was pregnant with Hye joo, and I was poor.

What do you want me to do now?

What pregnant person eats sparrows?

Then why'd you bring them in the first place?

Get over here, you brat!

Go to your room.

Don't go to your room!

Get over here you brat!

Go to your room.

You're too soft on her, that's why she won't behave!

Please stop, Mom.

I said go to your room.

You're overprotective of her. She's only getting worse.

Calm down, Dad.

She's drying me out!

Honey! Stop it already!

That's enough, Dad.

I didn't drink that much.

Ms. Housekeeper.

Yes?

Don't clean Hye joo's room without permission.

Don't blame her. It was my fault.

Always ask Hye joo before you clean her room, okay?

Yes.

We need an exorcism.

What?

Shaman's exorcism rites.

The ghosts are after Hye joo

because they're jealous of the fortune we've made.

Find a good shaman.

Dad.

We need an exorcism. That's the only way to save Hye joo.

People will find out.

Then they'll spread strange rumors about Hye joo.

Then what can we do?

She's fine as long as we don't throw away her things.

Is it okay for Hye joo to live like that forever?

I'm worried that we won't find a marriage partner for her.

We'll find someone that Hye joo will be happy with.

Are you asleep?

Yes, I am.

Silly.

If you are asleep, how are you talking to me?

Why did you call me?

Why do you think I called you?

I don't know.

Stupid, you know why I called you.

Don't call me when you're drunk.

I don't like your scolding.

But sometimes, I don't mind it.

Just to let you know I'm still around.

Go home. Bye.

She's so horrible and selfish.

She's not the prettiest, or the hottest girl around.

Acting like she's all that when she's already 30...

You know, I have tons of girls who are into me.

But what can I do?

I'm not interested in them...

I don't mind when you scold me...

I keep drinking because I think of you...

My liver will look like a sponge at this rate...

If you don't want to see me die like that,

then please don't do this to me.

Don't hang up on me...

And call me first just once...

Why were you demoted?

You really broke the suspect's nose like the rumors say?

I also cracked his jawbone.

So the rumor about your personality's true?

He was a thug.

But a thug still has rights...

He beat up the girl he was living with.

Good job, then.

Are you planning to become a feminist politician in the future?

Are you making fun of me?

No.

I wouldn't dare to make fun of someone like you.

But your face just gives that condescending vibe.

You better watch out.

Even your speech is violent.

No wonder you don't have a boyfriend.

Don't worry, I won't ask you out or anything.

And you have good ears...

Did you kill the people who talked smack about you?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey!

Hey!

I got it from the pharmacy.

Are you feeling better?

This is the best medicine for fatigue.

You should go to the hospital later.

I'm okay.

No, you're not. You were out cold.

You've been staying here since the day at the police station?

You're that police officer?

What's wrong?

My stomach hurts...

Don't tell me you've been starving since that day.

I ate whenever I earned some money.

Work?

I'm unemployed.

Home?

I let my ex boyfriend borrow my rent fee,

and got kicked out of the dormitory.

How have you been surviving?

Part time jobs.

Then you should be doing better than this.

I had credit card debts I had to pay...

Why do you have debts?

For my ex boyfriend's mom's hospital bill...

That's really depressing.

Isn't it?

You want to live with me?

So you're a lesbian!

That makes sense!

Hello? Young-in?

What's wrong?

Suk-ho, I don't feel good.

What's wrong, Young-in?

I'm feeling sick.

Young-in.

Young-in!

Young-in!

Young-in!

This is just too much! He can't do this to our mom!

I'll get the surgery next month.

You called me when you needed me. I'm happy with that.

A token of my apology.

I'm your professor.

It's only a 6 year age gap.

I don't like you.

I don't like your dad, so why would I like you?

I hope my mom adopts me.

I filed the divorce papers.

Please think of me if you can't find anyone else.

I'll be right here for you.

You must like her a lot.

I want to be with her.

There are rules for first born sons.

Why do you burden Suk-ho with those rules?

I'll pay you back some day.

Have you been eating well?

I washed your stockings.

It'll be hard to get rid of you.

Do noble people bring books to even a place like this?

Do your elders know about this?
