Episode 47

Mrs. Ha.

Why didn't you cancel the gifts as I'd asked?

Because I'd already paid for them,

and I appreciated the way you cared for Dan-ah.

I hope you like the gifts.

They're wonderful.

I feel bad about accepting all these gifts.

Have all the guests left?

I see. You must be tired.

Please take care, Mrs. Ha.

What's wrong with you, honey?

What'd I do?

You can't dress like that in front of Dan-ah!

But they're on their honeymoon.

I wouldn't walk around like this in front of her.

My good days are gone.

Hye-joo's home.

Let's have some dignity.

We have to adapt to our in-law's level.

Speak for yourself. Stop being such a ditz.

Welcome home.

You came together?

What's wrong, Hye-joo?

I'm sorry.

Why does Hye-joo look so pale?

We went to a movie after the wedding.

But the movie was about a serial child-killer.

Hye-joo fainted...

There are better movies you could've seen.

Did you stop by the hospital?

Yes, she was given some sedatives.

They said she didn't have to be hospitalized.

Let's go to your room.

I thought the treatment had cured you somewhat...

I'll get going.

No, you must've had a tough time taking care of her.

Have a seat.

Let's have a meal and a drink together.

Why'd you watch a horror movie on this good day?

Sorry, I didn't mean to act like a half-wit.

Hye-joo.

Yes.

About me calling you a half-wit all the time...

I'm sorry.

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

I just felt frustrated that you weren't more outgoing.

I know, Mom.

Now that you have a sister-in-law,

and I've come to my senses,

I won't ever call you a half-wit again.

Finished?

Let's go to our room.

I'm not finished yet.

Don't take so long with the tea.

Hurry up.

What's the rush?

What do you think?

I've been waiting for this day.

Why do you think I rushed the wedding?

Our marriage hasn't been an easy road for us.

Let's have some tea and talk about it.

Save talk for later.

Stop it.

Excuse me.

I'd like a pot of coffee, please.

Sorry?

A pot of coffee.

I'll bring a refill.

I want a pot of coffee.

Stop embarrassing me.

So don't get on my nerves.

I'll spend the night here drinking coffee.

Don't you dare ask me to go to the room.

This is salmon salad. Please have some.

Thank you.

Hye-joo's like a knot in our hearts.

I'd held a grudge against the world.

I chose the wrong path in life and hurt Hye-joo on the way.

Don't put pressure on Hyun-gyu.

Hyun-gyu.

Yes.

Friend or whatever, I'm okay with anything.

She's never once brought a friend over to our house.

That very girl kept pictures of you on her computer.

You may think of her just as a friend,

but I think her feelings are deeper.

Don't burden him.

I won't ask for too much.

Just stay by her side for a long time.

I'd want nothing more than to have you as my son-in-law,

but I won't be so greedy.

Just stay by her side and look after her,

just as you did today.

Would you please do that?

Yes, I will.

Hello?

Professor Ha?

You arrived safely?

Yes, we're fine.

Talk later.

You can call her later.

Yes.

We're doing just fine.

You must be tired.

Yes.

I'll put Gang-suk on the phone.

I have nothing to say.

Hurry up.

Mother, don't worry about us.

Goodbye.

Why's he in such a rush?

What?

He just hung up on me.

He probably only called because Professor Ha made him.

His mind's already preoccupied with you-know-what.

Hyun-gyu's here.

He's not a child or anything.

Who are you calling now?

I have to call my family.

Right.

Okay.

Grandma.

Director Lee's not tired?

That's great.

Let me talk to her.

Don't.

Okay, I'll hand the phone to your mother.

It's Dan-ah.

Dan-ah.

We arrived safely. Please tell Grandfather.

Let me talk to her.

Gang-suk wants to talk to you.

Mother, this is Gang-suk.

Have a great honeymoon, Gang-suk.

Mother.

Yes.

Thank you for raising your Dan-ah to be such a fine woman.

I didn't really raise her...

But thank you anyway. Get some rest.

Let me have the phone, Mother.

You have something to say?

Yes.

Tae-young wants to talk to you.

Listen up, Gang-suk.

Where are your manners?

- Gang-suk. - Yes, Brother.

Did you do some push-ups or what?

I knew it.

Did you get a work out before the big event or what?

Run five laps around the hotel and stretch your lower back.

You fool!

Five laps? I think I'm already in good shape.

Stop showing off.

If you're nervous, go have a drink first.

I'll take care of it, so hang up.

Good luck!

Okay, Brother. I'll do my best.

What did he say?

He told us not to waste our time and go to sleep.

Isn't it disgusting?

It must've been painful.

I wanted to get you a skin graft,

but father said a burn wound is hard to treat.

Yes.

Don't stare at it.

Even I can't bear looking at it.

I heard it flares up in the winter.

Yes.

It'll hurt me to see you in pain when this scar flares up,

but I'll love you regardless.

It's a part of you.

I want to share your pain.

Grandma.

Grandma.

What are you doing, Jo-man?

Why aren't you asleep?

I'm too tired to sleep.

Grandma's not feeling well.

Can you get up?

Here you go.

Are you feeling dizzy?

I'm all right.

Let's go to the hospital. You have a high fever.

I'm fine.

What's up?

You can't sleep?

Grandmother Sam-wol's not feeling well.

What?

She took some medicine, but I wonder if that's enough.

She must've been relieved.

She's been worried about Dan-ah for so long,

and all the stress just caved in on her.

What?

I want to go see her.

She went back to sleep. Let her rest.

She's been in good health all along, so I'm worried.

I heard when healthy people lose vigor, they lose it fast.

Why are you already up?

The sun won't be up for a while.

I never thought this day would ever come for me,

sleeping next to someone, and waking up next to him.

I felt so amazed,

so I woke up and stared at your face for a while.

I wondered if this was all just a dream.

Grandma Sam-wol would wake me up from my dream.

When I open my eyes, you wouldn't be there.

And I get back to my routine life once again.

Why'd you have such a strange thought?

It feels too good to be real.

If you were just a dream,

and if you weren't there when I opened my eyes,

then I'd just fall asleep again.

And fall into a deep sleep so I'd never have to wake up.

I'm grateful I'm not dreaming.

You're right here before my eyes,

and I can hold you like this.

So even if a time of trouble comes in my life,

I won't complain.

I'll just take on whatever comes my way.

Because I have you right here, and I can hold you if I want.

I'm grateful that we met in this life and not another life,

that we met on this planet and not some other planet,

and that you recognized me and didn't pass me by.

Thank you.

Let's begin.

We're tired from dealing with all the guests.

And the women aren't tired?

Hurry.

The women are going to the sauna.

Please do a good job with the housework.

I think we should stay back and help.

Would you disobey your mother's orders?

Father.

Grandmother Sam-wol's not feeling well,

so the women are going to the sauna.

Are you feeling unwell?

No, Mr. Chairman.

I took some medicine and had a good rest.

I'm fine, but they're dragging me along.

You're exhausted from the recent wedding preparations.

Take some time to relax at the sauna.

Please escort her.

- Father. - Yes.

Can they start wearing comfortable outfits now?

They may. I'm going to take a stroll.

Have a good day.

Please take care.

Get changed and come out.

Yes.

See that?

Ever since Mother came into our family,

I've been wishing that I were born a woman.

I'm sorry, Uncle.

Whenever he acts childish, I'm ashamed of being his son.

I'm ashamed of being his brother sometimes too.

You don't know your father's residence of birth?

I'm not sure.

My grandparents were living off at someone's house.

Grandmother passed away before my father turned five.

And my grandfather passed away when he was nine.

We say we're Gyeongju Lee because that's where he grew up.

Grandfather never told him where our family came from.

It could've been because he was busy making ends meet,

or that he didn't know about the family origin himself.

Can you see why my father was so eager for a genealogy?

I'll be good to Father and Mother.

Then I need your cooperation.

How can I help?

I need your acting skills.

Let's practice.

Why do we have to do this on our honeymoon?

This soup doesn't taste like my mother's.

Dan-ah's a good cook,

but she can't cook as well as you, Mom.

Do we have to do this right now?

Are you protesting?

No.

Mother, the necktie she picked out doesn't match my suit.

Can you pick a better one for me?

That's so fake.

She never picked out a tie for me.

I did that myself.

Then forget that one.

This isn't the right time to be working on our acting skills.

We're on our honeymoon.

I want to be loved by my parents-in-law.

That all depends on how you behave, Gang-suk.

What's with calling me Gang-suk?

Let's work on that first.

I'll stand over there. So call me "honey."

Honey, did you call me?

No.

Again.

What? Did you say something, honey?

I didn't say a word.

Come on.

Ho...

How about you sit down here?

Darn that woman.

Yes, Brother.

How was your first night?

Father was right here.

Be quiet.

Doesn't the world seem different now?

That's not only for me.

Dan-ah already looks different than when she was a virgin.

What are you saying?

Brother's asking me how our first night was.

She said good morning to me the moment I opened my eyes.

Stop it.

She just wouldn't let go of my hand,

so I couldn't even use the restroom.

I said stop it.

That's not all.

Just hang up.

But there's more.

How can he be so shameless?

You called him just to make fun.

I wonder if he's locked up Dan-ah in the hotel room.

That hurts.

Back to work.

How can I face my family now?

You should've just called me honey when I asked you to.

It just won't come out.

Why not?

Just say the words.

Are you just going to address me Gang-suk?

You can't call me by my name before our parents.

I'll just say, "Look here."

Look where?

Will you call me honey when we have kids?

No.

I'll just call you "someone's dad."

Someone's dad?

Interesting.

That sounds better than "honey."

Then let's hurry and choose a name.

We'll take a syllable from our names.

So how about Gang-dan?

That's a fierce name.

Let's go eat, Gang-dan's mom.

Then is our second child Ah-suk?

That's no good. It sounds like "I suck."

How many?

Seven. For lucky seven.

You want to have seven children?

I'll try to.

Let's help out our country's decreasing birth rate.

But seven's too many.

Do you know how many years you'd be pregnant?

Ten years should be enough.

So you really want seven children.

I promised Grandma Sam-wol.

Do I have any say in this?

What?

You don't want a lot of children?

You know my friend that carried the wedding box?

Yes.

He has a son and a daughter.

And he almost got divorced.

What do you mean?

They went from dating to marriage.

But after his wife had children, he was neglected.

She didn't even care whether he came home or not.

So he even thought about cheating on his wife.

What are you trying to say?

Let's make this clear.

What?

Neglect me like that, and I'll get depressed.

I don't care how many children we have.

If you don't look after me, then I'll...

You'll what?

Cheat on me?

I'll fight with my own children if I have to.

I'll fight them over you.

I wonder if our Gang-dan will be a pushover.

This is too much.

Forget doing the chores, but cooking our own meal?

Stop your complaining.

You're getting your spit in the soup.

How can I help?

Take a rest, Father.

If I take a rest, he'll complain on and on.

Father.

What?

I thought nice of Mother for giving our wives' gifts.

That's good.

Not anymore,

not after she's bent on enslaving the men in our family.

- Dad. - What?

You're so fickle, as usual.

Keep working.

I put this on after I do the dishes.

It has minerals to keep your skin moist.

I hope you don't get housewife's eczema.

I'm not worried about eczema.

I'm worried about losing my hearing.

Sorry?

Tae-young was grumbling next to me all day.

I didn't complain at all

because I knew you'd get a good rest today.

Aren't I nice?

You're the best.

More?

My shoulders are shot.

Father and Soo-young are terrible at housework.

It's as if I did all the work myself.

I'm sleepy.

Didn't you get enough sleep at the sauna?

I didn't take a nap.

I was listening to Mother's and Grandmother's stories.

Blabbermouths. Harder!

Happy?

Don't break my shoulders!

You said harder!

Kids!

Dong-dong's still up, so keep it down.

Unless you want to write more letters of apology.

Sorry.

Keep it down.

- Good night. - Keep it down.

How dare you kick me!

Backbreaker!

We're just playing.

I'm really curious.

About what?

Just why you can't keep the noise down.

- Dong-dong. - Yes, Grandpa.

Don't be so strict with your Mom and Dad.

You don't understand.

If I didn't discipline them,

they'd act like kids all the time.

Is that right?

I'm sorry to hear that.

My life isn't easy, Grandpa.

What?

Are we doing something wrong?

What do you mean?

How do women sleep in their husbands' arms

when it's so uncomfortable?

It's uncomfortable, right?

I knew it.

Is your arm sore?

Let's not do this.

I can't sleep with your arm underneath my head,

and my head hurts.

Stay still.

What are you doing?

Let me find out why a human arm pillow's uncomfortable.

Can you find out?

Let me try.

That was it.

We're not good at anything.

I didn't know I had to put my arm underneath your neck.

Aren't we so stupid?

We'll keep it a secret between us.

It's really embarrassing.

But there are others like us.

I'm better than that guy on the internet.

He kept it up until his arm almost fell off.

Why don't you sleep in?

You still think it's a dream?

Did I wake you up?

You already washed up?

My grandmother...

...never faced grandfather before washing her face.

When my mother married father,

grandmother advised her not to greet father with an untidy face.

That's proper etiquette for a woman.

But they're old-fashioned.

I don't care if you looked at me with eye boogers.

I understand their feelings.

They could never confess their feelings freely,

so that was their way of expressing their love.

They woke up early,

and tidied up to look nice before facing their husbands.

I want to do that too.

I'll treat you with the diligence they had for their husbands.

I'm lucky to have been born as a man,

and to have met someone like you as my wife.

Why are you still wearing hanbok when we don't have to?

I like wearing hanbok.

It's a way of reminding myself that I'm the head housewife.

Let me drop the formalities.

Okay.

You can't do this to me.

Unless you're set on screwing me over.

That's not what I'm trying to do.

Then dress normally.

Wearing a hanbok makes me pay closer attention on my manners.

Oh Jin-ah. I'm not going to be formal.

Take it easy, okay?

Don't do this to me.

Sister.

Isn't she so pathetic?

You're so loyal.

It's not out of loyalty.

I was afraid she'd disregard the ranks.

You asked me once

why I stayed in the museum even during my breaks.

You said I didn't know how to pass the time.

My heart dropped then because you knew so much about me.

I was worried to let someone go who knew me so well.

That's why I clung to you.

If you hadn't, I might have clung to you.

I doubt it.

That day...

I met you at the pond.

I thought about going to that pond about a hundred times,

and if I couldn't get over you by then,

I would've gone to you and asked if we were really over.

Are you serious?

Yes.

I got the short end of the stick.

I should've remained patient and let you cling to me.

Then I wouldn't have made such a fool out of myself.

How long would that have taken?

About a hundred days?

I'd say about ten years.

Good thing I was hasty.

It wasn't a battle I could win.

I couldn't have waited ten years for you to come back to me.

Let's go eat, honey.

Did you just call me "honey"?

I thought you'd take about ten years.

I'm adopting your hasty personality.

What are you looking for, Grandma?

I'm looking for the dried radish greens.

They're in the storage room.

We've never put them in the cabinets.

Is that right?

Her memory must've gotten worse after she was sick.

She's already past her 70's.

And besides, nobody likes a perfect person.

Where did I put the dried radish?

What?

Did you say "that kind of marriage"?

That's not very polite.

What's wrong with my daughter-in-law?

The way you talk makes me question your character.

I like my daughter-in-law for the person she is.

Can you say that as a mother yourself?

Considering the hardships she went through in the past,

I feel sorry for her, if anything.

Yes, I am liberal.

If my son likes her, and I like her,

I don't see a problem.

But is this the time for you to worry about my family?

I heard a rumor that

your daughter-in-law was swindled by a playboy.

I see.

It's a false rumor?

But it's strange.

Your family's always in the rumor mills.

Okay, goodbye.

Worry about your own family, you wench.

Who was that wench?

She's nobody.

How dare she run her rotten mouth.

Don't associate with those darn wenches!

I won't!

I don't want to associate with those blabbermouths anymore.

Let's go out.

Why?

I'm so proud of you, so I want to...

I want to buy you a diamond as big as my fist.

Really?

My sister read that romantic comic and cried.

So I read it too.

There's a boy that loves a girl.

But that girl is ill.

She takes a walk every early morning.

Why does she take a walk when she's ill?

Because of this boy

who rides a bicycle to school in the early morning.

She disguised it as a coincidence just to see him.

They both liked each other,

but didn't know how to express their feelings.

You know the scene my sister said was the most touching?

It was where the boy picked up the pebbles off the path

the girl used to walk on.

He did that every night so the girl wouldn't trip on them.

Are you going to cry?

What happened to them?

I don't remember the ending.

The girl passed away, didn't she?

The boy was a weirdo.

If he cared that much for her,

then he should've just confessed to her.

All he had to do was go to her and confess.

That's what I thought before...

lf...

If we have to watch a movie together again,

I'll go screen it before you.

It feels really great.

We can stay together even when it's late.

I hated dropping you off and driving back home alone.

I'm supposed to say I felt the same way, right?

I'm sure it wasn't that bad for you.

There will be times where we have to stay separated.

And why is that?

Your business trips?

Right.

No, I'll have my brothers go instead of me.

That's the benefit of having family in the workplace.

On nights when you're away,

I want to struggle to fall asleep.

Even after ten or twenty years.

After we're so familiar with each other,

and a day like that comes,

then I'll know how much I'll miss having you by my side.

Let's grow old like that.

I don't know how many days we'll have to spend apart.

But on nights like those, we'll struggle to fall asleep,

and be grateful for the sleepless nights when we miss each other.

Welcome.

Why'd you ask me to bring Jang-gi along?

- Are you strong? - Yes.

Today's your day.

- Officer Lee. - Hello, Jo-man.

Why are you turning red?

Why does Tae-young tease me?

Your face is red.

Not you too, Grandma.

Don't tease her too much.

She's even making excuses about exchanging clothes

just to hide that she's dating.

It's only fun because she gets embarrassed.

What's gotten into you?

Isn't your specialty watching?

I have to do something to welcome my son-in-law.

Scared of your son-in-law?

Like they say,

a son-in-law is a guest for a hundred years.

I didn't think about it before the wedding.

But now I'm worried about how to treat him.

Welcome home!

They must be home.

They're here.

Welcome.

Don't you look so tired.

Soo-young, look at his frail face.

- Welcome back. - We're back.

Welcome.

Go greet Grandfather first.

Just what did you do to your husband?

This is Dan-ah's husband.

These are Dan-ah's ancestors who blessed your marriage.

You thief!

Take it easy.

Hold him down!

- I'm trying. - Here goes!

Stop it.

My sister's taking her husband's side?

That makes me even angrier!

Here!

This dried pollack is really hard.

Don't kill my son-in-law.

Even my mother's on his side?

Now I'm even more enraged!

Take it!

Stop it!

Stay still!

How dare you steal my precious sister!

Feel the burn!

Father, stop them.

I'm worried about Gang-suk.

Let them have some fun.

Stop it.

Can you stop him?

The bride should sing a song to make them stop.

I'll sing, Tae-young.

Don't, you'll make him angrier, honey.

This thief is calling my sister "honey."

Say "honey" again.

Take it!

This thief is my son-in-law.

Don't kill him.

Then free the men from housework this weekend.

No deal?

Okay, it's a deal.

Gang-suk, your mother-in-law saved you.

My feet hurt so much.

Don't be a wuss.

I didn't hit you that hard.

If I knew it'd be this much fun,

I would've done it when you came to my house.

You didn't go through this?

The difference is, I saved her life.

But you stole my sister.

You're so dirty.

You have the energy to talk back?

Let me hit you some more.

No, I'll shut up!

You disciplined him enough.

How was the honeymoon?

May I talk?

See how he acts up?

What did you do?

What do people do on their honeymoon?

What is it?

Dan-ah, where are you going?

I think they did something bad.

She's turning red.

Yes, my lady?

Grandma.

You never called me that since I was a child.

Do you need something? What can I get you?

Do I resemble my grandmother that much?

From the picture, I don't think there's any resemblance.

You looked just like her when you were young.

Even your walk,

and the way you smiled was just like my lady's.

That's why I used to call you my lady.

Why did you come out of the room?

Tae-young and Grandma Joo-jeong were teasing me.

They were so mean that you had to run away?

Did you have a great honeymoon?

Now your winters won't feel cold anymore.

- What's that? - Nothing.

Is that for Gang-suk's feet?

No.

Don't be so obedient early on.

It's your fault for hurting him in the first place.

Your feet are swollen.

He wasn't playing around.

I felt his anger in every hit.

That's what you get for stealing his sister.

My feet hurt.

You poor thing.

- I want a daughter. - Sorry?

I'll have payback to my future son-in-law for my pain.

A father-in-law doesn't have a role in that custom.

Just watch me.

I feel great.

Dan-ah's talking with her husband in her room.

They're not asleep yet?

They're chatting and laughing.

We really went through a lot together after we got married.

I was happy on the day of our marriage,

but I felt burdened as well.

All three of my children were single,

so I felt ashamed to get married.

You're the blessing of my life.

I brought forth all the good fortune in this family.

Right.

Thank you, Young-in.

I was worried about how you'd fit in our family,

but you really surprised me.

I'm just like that once I make up my mind.

Being perfect is my only flaw.

If it weren't for that flaw, you'd be even more perfect.

Grandma Sam-wol said my winters won't feel cold anymore.

I'm not worried about winter,

but we might get heat rash in the summer.

Today, I felt bad about Grandma Sam-wol's life

for the first time.

She spent her life alone,

not knowing the love between a man and a woman,

without having a single person to miss.

I could've lived the same life as her.

Thank you for changing my life.

Gang-suk.

Yes.

You can serve the offering for today.

Yes.

What's the matter, Grandma?

They must be so happy to be served by Dan-ah's husband.

You may bow to them first.

Yes.

Let's have a great life together.

Three-go.

Father, that's gwangbak and pibak for you.

I have eyes.

I'm on cloud nine.

Someone might see us.

Who cares?

I'm sorry.

I'm going. Have a good time.

I think his second love has started.

She's such a busy bee.

You just want to sleep?

We don't have time to waste.

Let's get to work.

What about your grandfather's service?

This is the memorial service you deserve, Father.

What's wrong, honey?
